The Chancellor of Ihe Exchequer has consented to reduce the duty on Cape wines from 2s. 6d. lo 2s. per gallon. The reduction on spirits dots not take place till October. Calcutta papers have been received, which officially notice the late mutiny at Barrackpore. By order of the Governor- General, the mutinous regi- ment has been disgraced,, the native officers ot it discharged as unworthy the name of soldiers, and a new regiment has beeit formed in its stead. The Native " officers of the Bengal army generally are made responsible for the conduct of their men, and warned in forcible terms to profit by the example of the disgraced and disbanded corps.

In the House of Commons, on Tuesday, Mr. HUME, afler alluding to the hardships imposed upon mniitny accouolfinls, many nf whom, lie said, were unable to obtain settlement of Iheir accounts at Ihe end of twenty. five or thirty years, moved for returns of eleven thousand tivo hundred ond seventy War- nilfee accounts unsettled since 1810, which were ordered. The Bill for the Emancipation of the Catholics was, ou Wednesday, on the motion of Sir F. BURDETT, read pro formaa first time. The second reading, on w hirh the discussion takes place, is fixed for the 19th of April. A call of the House is declared for Ihe 18th, In the House of Commons, on Thursday, Mr. HUME, after censuring the conduct of Lord Amherst as Governor- General of India, both in the manage- ment of the war with the. Burmese and in the punish- ment of the lale rebellious regiment, moved for the Copy of a dispatch sent lo llie Marquis of Hastings in 1819, relative to the Bengal army, and for ihe answer to it; aud also an account of the extent to vh'ch the urders refened loin that, dispatch had since been executed— Mr. WYNN said tiiat all the charges brought against Lord Amherst were un- founded, and lie therefore opposed Ihe motion. The CHANCELLOR ofihe EXCHEQUER and Sir J. SEBRIGHT also defended his Lordship; and Sir C. FOUBES slron » l. v commented upon the unfitness he displayed for his station — On a division, Mr. Hume's proposi- tion was rejected hy 58 to 15. In the House of Lords, on Friday, a conver- sation took place between Earls Lauderdale, Liver- pool, and Eldon, ou the subject of Joint Stock Companies. The first- named Peer said he should hereafter be enabled 4' to prove the injurious ten- dency of these innumerable speculations."— Lord Liverpool considered the spirit of speculation to be g dug beyond all bounds, and likely to bring the greatest mischief upon many concerned; but he was unwilling to interfere, hy legislative provision, with llie property of individuals, or endeavour by atlv means to prevent men from spending their own money as they pleased. He however desired it to he clearly understood that speculators embarked in the projects at Iheir own risk, and in no case were they to look for any hope of relief from Go- vernment'in event of the failure of their schemes.-- The Lord Chancellor said, with reference lo the hill he promised to lav before the House upon the subject, that lie had been so much occupied in the Court of Chancery with disputes arising out of similar speculations, that he had thought it belter to adopt a different course, and confine himself to declaring the law as it at present stood in regard to all schemes of the kind. In Ihe House of Commons, the Right Hon. W. Huskisson, President of the. Board of Trade, developed the views of his Majesty's Government as to the principles upon which our commercial transactions ought hereafter to be regulated. The Right Hon. Gentleman proposes to reduce the duties upon the importation of foreign cotton and French cnilery from fifty to ten per cent ; upon wool from fifty to fifteen per cent.; and the linen duties from forty lo twenty- five per cent. The de'ies upon French bottles, upon foreign printed books, and a number of other commodities, arealso to he lowered considerably, ill order lo suppress temptation to smuggling. The duties upon foreign iron, copper, tin, and lead, are to be reduced in the following proportions - iron from 10s. lo 30s. per ton; copper from £ 54 to £ 27 per ton ; spelter from £ 20 to £ 10 per ton ; tin from £ 5. 9s. 3d. to £ 2 per cwt.; a small reduction is also to take place upon lead. The Corn Laws are not affected bv the pro- positions submitted by Mr. Huskisson, and with this exception it appears to be a general revision of the whole of the existing tariff.

MR. EDITOR, I am concerned to see so much animosity pre- vailing1 in this town on a subject which one would think might be discussed with temper and coolness by all parties— I mean the House of Industry. I am not sanguine enough to hope that those who have shewn themselves too warm on the subject, will listen to the suggestions of a nameless indi- vidual. But as I am persuaded that the great majority of the inhabitants regret, in common with myself, that a subject of this nature should beget feuds and party spirit among neighbours, 1 cannot help suggesting to their consideration, a plan which appears to me fair and equitable towards all parties. Let attendance be given in the vestry of every one of the incorporated parishes for two hours daily, during ten days, in order to give every rate payer in each parish an opportunity or inserting his name in one of the three lists under- mentioned : 1. A list of those who wish the Corporation of the House of Industry entirely dissolved, and se- parate poor houses established in each parish. 2. A list of those who wish a fair equalization of rates in each parish without dissolving the ii cor- poration, and an amicable application to Parlia- ment made for this purpose. 3. A list of those who wish no alteration in the present system. Let each person who signs the list, insert in a column parallel to his name the number of votes to which he is entitled in each parish. For instance, if A has four votes in St Chad's parish, let him sign A 4. If he has also 3 votes in St Alk- inond's, let him sign A, 3; and so in any other parish in which he has a right to vote. I conceive this to be the only fair way of voting, because, I as a man's votes increase in proportion to tbe amount of rate which he pays, it would be very hard if one who contributes greatly to the rate, were to be deprived of the exercise of his rig- ht, upon an occasion where he has so much more at stake than one who contributes a mere trifle. I would also exclude all from these lists whotj rates are in arrear, and not discharged at the time of putting down their names. The true feeling- of the inhabitants of the town would then be collected, and every man whose name was in the two unsuccessful lists, or was omitted by his own neglect in all of them, would be bound to acquiesce in the vote of the majority, without having any reasonable ground of com- plaint. I would, however, allow those rate payers who happen to be prevented from giving their personal attendance, to have their names inserted in such of the three lists as they might direct, on giving an authority, under their hand and seal, to the churchwardens of each parish.

Jiwjul Visitation in Hanover j Bremen, § in Germany< F, Mayor of Shrewsbury has received Circular Letter, dated 10th March, 1825, from a Committee appointed at a General Meeting of the Nobility, Gentry, Clergy, Bankers, Mer- chants, and others, iu London, on the 2oth Fehru ary, 1825, His Royal Highness the Duke of York in" the Chair, soliciting the kind Patronage of the Inhabitants of the Town and County of Salop to? the Sufferers in Hanover, Bremen, and Places adjacent, by one of the most awful and alarming Visitations or Providence that ever afflicted a People. In this awful Tempest of Wind, attended with Thunder and Lightning- and a heavy FaH of Snow, the Sea broke over the Dikes of the Rivers Elbe, Weser, and Ems, and inundated, a Country to, the Extent of upwards of 1,500 English Square Miles, so that of numerous Villages tho Church Steeples and the most elevated House Roofs only were visi- ble; ihe whole Stock of the Country, live and dead, and all Provisions, were lost, o. r so far damaged as to be rendered nearly useless \ even drinkable Water was not attainable, the Sea Water having covered the whole Country ; all Wells and Springs were spoiled. Upwards of 150,000 Per- sons, principally Farmers and Peasants, many of w hom were rich in Corn and Cattle, and almost all in Comfort, have become a ruined People, not only their Stock and Growing Crops being gone, but Hundreds of Thousands of Acres of Laud rendered useless for several Years to come, if it can he ever recovered. Many Houses in Towns have been destroyed, the Pavements in the Streets torn up, and the Guns washed away from the Ramparts ; some of the miserable Persons are in a State of Starvation, and destitute of every Thing; Skeletons of Wrecks of Houses and Barns, Hay- Stacks, Furniture of all Kinds, Trees torn up by the Roots, dead Human Bodies intermixed with drowned Cattle, were observed every where drift- ing towards the Sea, while piercing Cries of Dis- tress from the poor Sufferers, clinging to the floating Ruins or IO ihe Trees surrounding their Habitations, or crowded on the Roofs and iu the Lofts of totter- ing Buildings, were heard in every Direction. The Officers of the Army have given three Days' Pay, and the Privates one Day's Pay ; all Banks are vying with each other to evince their Sympathy., and Public and Private Collections are making all over the Country ; but no Country hath Resources equal to the Misery to be relieved. The Sufferers turn with a flattering Hope to Happy England, assured that they will be favour- ably remembered while suffering from that very Element which is at once the Scene and the Means of British Commerce, Wealth, and Glory. Mr. and Mrs. PALMER ( in Surrey), the Countess of DARNLEY, Mrs HOPE, Lady CAROLINE WOOD, Sir ANDREW HOLLIDAY, and many other Ladies and Gentlemen, have humanely collected Subs. crip tious from their Neig'hbonrs and Acquaintances, and paid the same to the Bankers in London— an Example worthy of Imitation every where. ^ 5000 were immediately remitted by the Committee in London to Hanover, and £ 1000 to the Piaces ad- jacent. The smallest Sums will be thankfully- received, and the Names of the Donors recorded. The Mayor hath desired the different Banks in the County to'receive the Subscriptions of the Benevo- lent and Humane, and Report the same to him Weekly. He hath no doubt that, the Sufferings not only of onr Fellow- Creatures but our Fe! Jow- Sub jectsy when made' known to the Public, will meet with that Sympathy and Effectual Assistance which hath ever distinguished the Inhabitants of Shrop shire.

R. MORRALL, Clerk to the Trustees. Ellesmere, March 26lh, 1825. Sent ^ saije. WOLLEY v. WOLLEY. SPECIAL JURY. Mr. Campbell stated that this was an action to recover possession of certain estates situate in the several parishes of Pontesbury, Aiberbury, Os- westry, and Stokesay, and the question to be determined was, who was the right heir of Mr. Thomas Wolley, who died and was buried at Moreton Say in December, 1799. He then continued — Mr. Thomas Woliey was seized in fee simple of the estates I have just mentioned, and on the 21st February, 1798, made his will, whereby he devised all his real and copyhold properly to his; wife Judith for life, and after her death, wish remainder, to his own right heir. Judith Wolley died in 1824. My client, John Wolley, savs he is the right heir of Thomas Wolley, and it will be my - duty to lav before you the. evidence on which his claim is founded. Up to this time no one is in possession of the property ; the tenants are at a loss to know to whom they are to pay their rents, and they have attorned to no one. My client is the son of William, the son of William, the son of Valentine, who was brother of Richard, the father ofthe testator. By a rule of the Court of King's Bench, a person ofthe name of Wo! ley, who is not in possession, hut who has laid claim to the property, and says he is the right heir, has, for the trial of this cause, been allowed to. be defendant. Gentlemen, I shall not rest on the frail and uncertain testimony of hearsay evidence, I shall produce before you written evidence the most authentic— evidence of baptisms, marriages, aud burials, which will demonstrate clearly that John Woliey is the. heir at law. I shall first ascend to the common ancestor, and then descend and shew the lessor of the plaintiff to be descended from that common ancestor. Thomas, the testator, was the son of Richard, who was baptized at St. Chad's March, 1898, aud buried theie December, 1765 Richard was the son of Thomas and Mary Iris wife whose maiden name was Salter. This last Thomas was baptised at Pontesbury, August, 1868, and was buried at St. Chad's, October, 1731. It. is not necessary for me to go higher, but to shew that the John 1 represent is the great- great grandson of that Thomas. The first step L; Valentine, he was the son of Thomas and Mary, and the brother of Richard. 1 then descend and come to William eldest son of Valentine— he was baptised at Wolver Hampton, March, 1735, and was buried at Bilstoh February, 1805 j this William bad a son William who was baptised at Bilston, April, 1702, was buried at St. Paul's, Birmingham, February, 18* 20, and was the father of my client John, who cense, qnently must be ciearly entitled: but I understand that it will be said that the entry of Valentine in the register is a forgery, for if it shall be allowed that the entry is a true one, then my client must recover, Gentlemen, 1 will read you the eutry, which will prove that Valentine Wolley was baptised at St Martin's-, Birmingham, 18th January, 1699* he was buried at St. Peter's, Wolverhampton, in 1785 the entry reads thus — u 18 January, 1899, Valen tine, soil of Mr. Thomas Wolley and Mary hi wife, from Shropshire. N B. Richard, his elde brother, was baptised at St. Chad's, 8 March built, connected with Lot I, with a good Garden the Turnpike Road to Oswestry, from which Place adjoining, in the several Occupations of Richard it is distant 12 Miles, and 8 from Lime and Coal ; riavel aud John Davis.

WILLIAM RIDDING, Coal brook Dale, Solicitor to the Executors-, person's ; on my solemn oath, don't know the person's name who told me the chaise was ready ; don't know at whose house in Shrewsbury I was at; it was not at an inn; I don't know the man who lived there, nor who lodged there 5 very probably I have seen the person since who told me the chaise vyas ready; if it was to save my life I can't tell I have seen him since; I do not know whether I have or not ; I have seen Mr. Turner, the attorney in this cause; I don't know his clerk; I have no doubt the person I saw acted as his clerk; Mr. Turner was not present when the person told me the chaise was ready, but I will not say whether his clerk was or* not; I stayed at Clayton's until this morning' ( Saturday) ; it chaise came for me; rd6n? t know who came with it; it was the same ' person - that went with me ; I can't tell who said the chaise was to bring- me to Shrewsbury; I did not order it;, 1 was told I should be fetched back; I can't t£ 11 how long; I have known my friend Clayton;', J had never seen him before Thursday last, but. f ciall hiiii my friend for all that; when I left Shrewsbury, % was told I was going a little way in the country ; OIL . my oath I can't tell who told me ; it was t( ie, Same person who told me the chaise was feady ; I fiave seen that, person since I came into Court ; at my back ; I went to Clayton's to sleep in the country ; ! know . the Rev. Mr. Moore, Curate of St. Martin's ; lie gave, me leave to bring- the register here ; I came herfe 011 Tuesday, the day before Mr. Moore; on ' tVednesday. evening, Mr. Moore applied to me for the register ht? had given me leave to bring,' alid 1 refused to. !£ thim have it; I refused him by the instructions of Mr. Turner, the attorney ; I had a suhpeena to bring, it with nie.— Re- examined : In obedience to my s. ub- pcena I wrought the register with me ; I under- stood " Mr. Moore wished to have the book out of my possession, and I refused him; it has not been ; altered since I brought it from Birmingham. Alexander Saunders, first beadle ofSt. Martin's for the last 12 years — Had held a situation there 31 years ; knew Brooks, the former clerk ; he was a resppc'able man ; when the last witness used to be out, I took care of the key. Thomas llall Broomhall, brass- founder, Birming- ham. I was acquainted with William Wolley, athe'r of the plaintiff, and went with him, about 19 r 20 years ago, to examine the register of St. Martin's ; we applied to Taylor, the clerk, and saw that entry, which was in the same state then tiiat H is now. Georg- e Wilkins, schoolmaster. — I made this fac- simile' of the page of the register five or six weeks ago. Tiie witness was then asked to read it, and point out the spelling, as follows: ii Volantine son of Mr. Thomas Woliey and Mary his wife from Shropshier. N. B. Richard his eldest brother was ' aptized at St. Chad's 1.8 March 1698 Shrewsbnry - Cross- examined : that entry stands out of the list of names;.* the list of names is all in the same itnd ; tiie entry in question is in a different hand; the entries on the right side of the page are in a different hand ; tlie lust entry on the rig- lit side is of the same handwriting- as the fabrication, but the others are not.— Re- examined : there are three hand writings 011 that page ; the regular list 011 the left side is in one hand* the three entries at the top of the right side in another, and the two last in another. Thomas Hall Rroomhall produced copies of the register of the burial of William Wolley at St. Paul's, Birmingham, February 8, iSH); ° f His baptismal Bilsion, April, 1762'; and ofthe baptism of William, grandfather of the plaintiff, ai Wolver- hampton, March, 1735. The register of his death iu t&) 5 was admitted. The. consent rules, by which Thomas Evans was admitted to be plaintiff instead of the casual ejector, and Richard Wolley to be defendant instead of the defendant Roe, were read by Mr. Bellamy,. and closed the plaintiff's case.— After w hieh, Mr. Taunton, for the defendant, rose, and after some introductory observations relative to the Rule of Court, said there was only one disputed fact in the whole case ; and that is, Whether the Valen- tiue, of whose baptism this reg- ister is put in proof, was or was not the sou of Thomas and brother of Richard Wolley, the father of the g- ent. ieman last seized of the property in question ?— Gentlemen, from beginning- to end the entries in these parish- register books adduced for the plaintiff are one complete tissue of fraud and forgery ; and I will satisfy you that Mr. Valentine, the. great- grand- father of the claimant, was just as much the brother of Richard Wolley, and no more, than my great- grandfather. They have endeavoured to tack him on to the respectable stock of the Wo! leys, of Wuodball, without- having*, the least pretension 10 do so. [ The learned counsel animadverted with great severity. 011 the evidence of Taylor, the clerk ; and his remarks on Mr. Turner were also very pointed. He proceeded.] The entry iu question I shall satisfy you is, beyond doubt, an interp^.- itinu, for it is not only written out of its proper place, but it is 111 a different handwriting, and there is none like it in the book ; and what think you of ihe spelling Vuhnnine and Shropshier ? is that a likely spelling for . any clergyman to have made? 110, but it is very likely for any person who g- ot possession of the books, since Thomas Wolley died in 1799. Gentle- men, there are two errors, and just such errors as an ignorant man, wishing to create an interest for himself aud wishing to have something to ground his claim upon, would make ; do you believe for a moment that that entry had been seen bv any mortal person before the death of Thomas Wolley ? that entry has been iaterpolated to serve the purposes of tiie present cause. 1 have another observation him credit for being years old in 1899, he would be little short of 100 in 1782, when the father of the lessor ofthe plaintiff was baptised and these entries made. But, Gentlemen, it is in evidence. that the plaintiff hail clearly proved its being* in the same state 20 years ago as. it now was. if the entry was genuine, it was admitted the plaintiff was _ .. , - _ . entitled lo a verdict; and as all the charges about William, father of the lessor ot the - plaintiff, . was i's being forged had vanished into smoke, he trusted bapnsed at Bnston, and William, the grandfather, j the Jury would find their verdict for the lessor of the plaintiff. , „ Mr. Justice LITTLEDA. LE summed tip alt consider-- able. lengtjh ; after which the Jury returned a verdict for the Defendant. at Wolverhampton, so that they have both been lucky enough, to be baptised twice over ; they Stand recorded in Bilston and . Wolverhampton, as, they do here at St; Martin's, Birminghamand again in a wrong place, What say von to such an entry as this—" 1781 April 17 WmSon of William Wolley," and this squeezed in betvveen two otheis, and not in the same handwriting as the others? What think y. oii of christening this same Williafn a third time? they were not satisfied with twice; they found out that the 17th April, 1781, was a wrong date, so they christened him again in 1782: — here he is, « April 8 William Son of William Wolley Christened & was baptised at Bilston April 4 1782." He must, according- to the one eni. rv, have been christened before lie was born. I " dare say the parents went to some curious, cunning old woman — man or woman,— who told them they should have a son born in twelve mouths ! Well, thought they, we will make sure and go and have him christened now! Well, there is another entry of the grandr father in the same register: here it is at the bottom of a page— u 13 March William Son of Valentine and Anne Woliey," in the same hand- writing- as that of 1899. Here again, Gentlemen, is another blunder— they have baptised a person on the 13th March before another person is baptised who was baptised 011 the I2th— they forgot to look at the date over the leaf. Nor is this all. Copies of fhe registers are returned to the Ecclesiastical CourWtranscripts of them. I have got these transcripts here, and not one of them contains these spurious, counterfeit entries. 1 have also got a Court Roll of the Manor of Ford, from which Thomas, the father of Richard, and supposed father of Volantine, in October 8, 1730, surrendered a copyhold estate to self for life, remainder to use of Richard Wolley, only son of Thomas and Mary Wolley; and, therefore, Volantrne could not have been his son. In addition, 1 have also the will of Mrs. Mary Wolley, the mother of, Richard ; and though a father may have a son he never heard of, a mother cannot— that is rather a more difficult thing. Here we have the will of Mary, the mother of Richard Wolley, aud supposed mother of Volantine. It is dated 13th July, 1787, and by rt she creates a term to pay debts, and then gives her estate in trust for the benefit of her only son Richard for life, and tallying with the surrender. These two instruments,' the Court Roll and the Will, are quite irreconcileable with the idea of Thomas and Mary ^ Woiley^ being the carets of VaU- ntine. I ; have, in addition, au old witness,, Mr. John Hopton, aged 87, who was a tenant of Mr. Wolley's, and lived in the mansion house ; he was well acquainted with Richard and Thomas Wolley; has conversed over and over again with Richard Wolley, and never heard him mention a brother Valentine ; if Richard had had such a brother he must have heard it ; he was equally intimate with Thomas, the testator, ihe sou of Richard, and has talked with him, and he has repeatedly said he did not know who was his heir at. law. I think, however., when you have examined the documents, you will' not think it necessary for me to examine this old entleman ; but if there should, be any doubt I w ili trouble you with his testimony, otherwise! will not. Tiie Rev. John Moore.— Am resident officiating- Curate of St. Martin's, Birmingham ; the entries iu the register are made by the clerk, and occasionally by myself; there is no* entry in the register of any person baptised out ofthe parish, except the one in question ; I produce the other registers from St. Martin's—" 1734 March 13 Win. sou of Valentine, and Ann Wolley ;" this is under the date 13, and comes between two of the 12th—^" 17 Apr. 1781. Wm. sou of Win. VVollev"— u 1782 April 8 Win! son of Wm. and Elizabeth Wolley christened and was baptised at Bilstone April 4 1782;" these are not in the same handwriting as the others — they are smaller, are written with different i and interlined. Mr. Richard Walthws.— I produce transcripts of registers from the Registry of Licitlioid and Coven- try ; I have searched carefully, and have no Valen- tine Wolley in the transcript of 1899.— None of the other registers oi' the Wolleys which had been alluded to by Mr. Taunton were to be found in the transcripts, which are regularly sent, by the Minis- ter and Churchwardens to the Bishop of the Diocese every year. This witness was afterwards cross- examined by Mr. Campbell as to the . other names which were written ' on tbe same side of the page as that of Volantine's being entered in the transcript, and all except one were found. Mr. George Livington.— This witness, who had containing about 198 Acres of very rich Arable and Pasture Land, on the Banks of the Vyrniew, which intersects the Estate; together with or without a Tract of Common allotted to this and other Estates, containing 80 Acres or thereabouts.— On this Estate is a very substantial House, which, at a small Ex pense, may be converted into a Gentleman's Resid ence ; and the Lands are of that fertile and product ive Quality, as to offer a very favourable Oppor- tunity for investment, and are Let for Five Years to verv respectable Tenants at the Annual Rent, of £ 372. Lor III. Three several Pieces of very rieli Feeding LAND, containing nearly26 Acres, situate on the, Banks of the Severn, aud near the Town of Pool.

Particulars may be had ( if by Letter, Post- paid) from the Rev. RICHARD MVTTON, Garth, Montgo- meryshire ; H. LEGGATT, Esq. Adeiphi Terrace, London ; and RICHARD GRIFFITHGS, Esq. Welsh- pool ; and Maps of the Estates may be seen at each Place. 1898, Shrewsbury." Now if this entry be genuine the cause is at an end; in short, it is the onh question in the cause : if it. is not, and if you think it is a fabrication, and that a felony has been committed in interpolating the entry, then my case will be destroyed; but I am sure you will not presume that a forgery has been committed ; you will not presume, from any observations that may be made by my learned friend Mr. Taunton, that a forgery can have been committed. At the period in question registers were k* pt with great irregu- larity ; at that time the writing was of the very worst sort, and not to be compared with ihe writing of the piesent. day, when every porter almost is able to write like a schoolmaster. I will, however, shew you to demonstration that it is no forgery,— I will call witnesses to shew you that the entry was in the same state 20 years ago. If you suppose it to have been forged, you must suppose that it was done by the present claimant; but I will call the clerk who kept the register, and a person of the name of Broomhall, each of whom saw it in the same stute it is now in 20 years ago : and having done that, and proved that my client is descended from Valentine, he will clearly be entitled to your verdict and to the estate. Edward Cunnah proved the register of the bap- tism and burial of Thomas Wolley, the testator, aud Judith his wife; also of the baptism of Richard, his father : the marriage and burial of Richard were admitted. He also produced the register of the baptism of Thomas Wolley, the grandfather, and his marriage with Mary Salter. William Taylor, parish- clerk of St. Martin's, Birmingham, for the last23 years— have the care of register, which is kept, closely locked up in the Vestry in a bookcase, the. key of which is put inside of a beaufet., and the key ofthe latter is always in my own* possession, except when I am out on mv Rector's occasions, at which times I leave it with Alexander Saunders, the first beadle, [ Produced the register containing the entry respecting Valen- tine,] After 1 had been clerk a few years, some persons Culled to enquire for such a register as this, and when I first saw it the page was exactly in the same state it now is in all respects; Samuel Brooks was clerk before me for about 20 years ; the Rector appoints the clerk, and Brooks was a respectable man ; the leaf looks blotted and cloudy, but when I first saw it it had the same appearance — The witness was cross- examined by Mr. Taunton and his answers, and the manner of giving them reflected any thing but credit on his, testimony.- I arrived in Shrewsbury on Wednesday ; have not been ill : was at a friend's house ; don't know his name ; it is Clayton ; he lives at Preston Gnbbalds, about three miles from Shrewsbury ; I went, there on Thursday, in a chaise; can't say who paid for the chaise; can't say who ordered it: can't say who told me the chaise was ready ; don't- kaow the to make : — you see it not only stands out and is of a different handwriting from ihe other entries, but if you will examine them, you will perceive that the other entries have a X affixed to them, whilst this has none; to the other entries there is almost , universally annexed S for son, D for daughter, but ibis has: all the words at. full length. And, gentle- men, what think you ofthe N. B. note it well, they are not content with- Volantine and Shropshier but they must add that Richard, the eldest brother was baptised at St. Chad's. Let them shew me another such an entry 111 the Register of St Martin's, Birmingham, or in that of any oth church in the county of Sialop. Why it is truly ridiculous: such another is not upon record in any register iu his Majesty's dominions. It is also placed out of the order of time ; it is an entry of a tact supposed to have occurred on the 18th January , 1899, and is put immediately opposite the month of April, shewing clearly that it was not entered when the supposed baptism must have taken place. [ The register was here handed up to the Jury.] You will see, Gentlemen, it stands exactly opposite the 7th April. But this is not all: I have not pointed out all the discrepancies. What say you to this other anachronism? The person that forged the entry, happily for the purposes of justice, was ignorant of the alteration of the style. And this is not the first instance of a fraud being- defected by the alteration in style created by an Act of Parlia- ment, for I was once as counsel in a situation of the kind, and was stopped by a special jury 011 that very ground. The date here given is January 18, 1899 ; but the man who forged the entry did not know- that January 18, 1899, was, according to the present mode of computation, January 18, 1700, and, therefore, he has mis- dated the entry 110 less than 10 mouths, and at two pages distance from where he ought to have entered it. The forger was, as I before said, an ignorant man, and fortu uately for justice he was so. This, Gentlemen, is absolutely decisive of the case. It is impossible the clergyman of that day who made the entries could have fallen into such a gross error, but it is an error which a bungling man wishing to make a spurious entry vvould full into. Richard was bap- tised March, 1898, and Master Votantine is baptised the following January, only 10 months after. It is a possible case, but it very rarely happens Really, Gentlemen, 1 think I may leave the case where it is, without troubling you with further evidence. They have not brought one witness to prove the genealogy of the family ; none to prove that the lessor of the plaintiff or his father commu- nicated with the Wolleys, of Woodhall. There is n > evidence, whatever, to connect the Volontine whose entry is recorded herewith Richard Wolley but the Nora Bene. Expunge the N. B. and then* is no evidence upon earth ; and yet you are called upon to believe that this connection existed merely on account of that entry which has not its parallel in the United Kingdom. Gentlemen, I will lay before you evidence that will surprise yon. What think you of there being 110 less than four entries? I wili, however, mention only three— three other - entries manifestly interpolated in subsequent regis- ters of this very parish on the subject of the ancestors, of this very Joh n Wolley, the lessor of the " plaintiff, in the sit me handwriting. I should think the man that made them specially appointed to record the entries of the Wolley family; for, giving been cashier to Mr. Walker, of Birmingham, and was acquainted with William Woliey, father of tiie plaintiff, was examined to prove his handwriting, but it turned out that though he had seen invoices of his, which he supposed were his writing, he had but seen him Write once. William Egerton Jeffreys, Esq. Steward of the Manor of Ford, produced the Court Rolls of the M nnor, hut before any extract was read Mr. Campbell submitted that some connection between Thomas Wo! ley and the manor m, ist be proved, in order to identify him. Mr. John Hopton was therefore called.— Knew Richard Wolley, the father of Thomas; he had a copyhold estate, called Shorliiill, iu the township of Ascot or Lea, and in the manor of Ford.— The following- extract was then read:—" 8 Oct. 1730. Ad liaec curia & c T. Wolley g- enerosus ike ad opus et usutn Ricardi Wolley solus films predicti Tliotna et. lauic nxoris ejus."— The christian name lieiiio- Jane and not Mary, as stated by Mr. Taunton, the Judn- e asked Mr. Hopton whether be knew the name of Richard's mother, but he did not. Mr. Thomas Edie.— I am Trustee to the Executor, and produce a probate copy of Mrs. Mary VVollev's w ill. Mr. Campbell objected to its being admitted in evidence, ou the ground that with respect to real estates and pedigree the original ought, to have been brought. Mr. Russell, on same side, said it was laid down in Phillips's, vol. i. p. 39S, Ed. 1822, that the probate copy of a Will devising' real property i not. evidence even to shew relationship. Mr. Taunton said be vvould not press the point, there being- pleuty of evidence w ithout. Mr. John Ilopton, afjed 87.— I was horn in the parish of Pontesbttry ; lived in the Woodhall farm house 25 years, or thereabouts; I was between 60 and 70 when I g- ave it up about 23 years ago; I also lived in tbe mansion house, rent- free; I remember Richard, the father of Thomas Wolley, exceedingly well, and was much in his company ; have heard him speak of his father and mother, but never heard of a brother Valentine until lately; jAUNDREJ. f.

Michael the sou was ( by Sua ah his w; ife), father of John, whodied young", Abraham ( lie person last seized of the property in question! arid who died io 1823, aged 58. The defendants claimed as descended from Xiary, the sisler of Michael the son : she married a person of llie name of John Ward; but the male heir, of Ihe Wards died, and the only surviving daughter ( Aline) manied George Crannage, the issue of which marriage claimed and had . taken possession of the property. * To prove that John, the plnintijf's grandfather, was the sun of Slichaid and Mary,-. and brother to Michael, the father of Abraham, the plaintiff called John Hudson, aged nearly 70— Remembered Mi- chael, the father of Abraham jaiindrell; lived wrib him four years as servant.; Michael's lather Michael died whilst lie was servant there ; knew John Jailu- drell, shoemaker, Coudoyer, the grandfather of ll, e person claiming llle properly, also his grandmother, Betty Jnnndrel! ; she lived in a house of Mr. Michael Jaundrell's al Chorion ( PnlverbalchJ until she died. John Jat- tndrell had 2 b, others, Abraham and Benja- min; Abraham lived as fellow- servant with me at Mr, Michael Janudreli's, aud called him'uncle — On his cross examination he said, 1 have never heard Michael talk- of a brother John, nor ever told Mr. John Pritchanl that 1 bad done so, bill have told bint: 1 had beard some one else say so; have heard him speak of a sister Mary, and thai she married John Ward. Knew Abraham Ward, their son ; he also lived at Mr Michael Ja. undrell's, and followed Ihe team, but this was before I wentjhere Afterwards Abraham Ward used lo. come lo see his uncle, as did his brother Thomas Ward.— Ou his re- examinaiion, he said the. Wards were in good ciicniiisianees : John, who married Mary Jaundrell, bad a large farm, and was well to do. Edward Devil's, aged , lM~ Lived two years wilh Michael Jauiidr. ell, rfi Pnlverhaich ; knew John the shoe maker, of Coudover; he used to come to Mi chael's as 11 visitor, friend, and ielation ; have heard Michael frequently say that John Jaundrell, of Con- dover,( was ihe nearest relation he had except his own soil All, ah aiu, though he was poor aud not looked upon -. John and Abraham used lo call each other cousins; have seen Abraham Ward come there two or three times, and Thomas Ward, but what relation they were 1. never heard. Know one Tis- da'e, a cooper, and when Michael broke bis thigh and was confined by the accident, heard him tell ' Pis, bile lhat John J auudrell, of Condover, was the nearest relation he had but Abraham; heard Tisdale recommend him to make his will and. settle his affairs, when he replied he would think, of it aud wail a day or two., and if he did not mend he would think of John Jaundrell and leave him something^ for he was his nearest relalion— his own brother's son— On bis cross- examination, this wftnesa, ori being closeiy questioned as to the time when he went to live at Mr. Michael Jaundrell's, said he made memorandums in a book when necessary or useful made tbe memorandum in ii prayer- book — the prayer- book I have is in my heart, and 1 spej » k the truth; the conversations in which I ' eard Michael say he was hi*} nearest' relation took place when' sitting round the hie at night. Mary Pbippson, ho'iisekeepof to Michael Jaundrell for four or five years, often heard him say John' Jauudrell, of Condover, was the nearest relation lie had; lhat'he had had bad luck, but: for all that, he was a relation, ami all the wafer in Severn could not wash it away. I have lieard Abraham ciall him cousin, but never heard John call him so. When Abraham was about 17 or IS, heard him drink good health " to John, as John the heir.— Cross- examined have heard Michael talk of his broihers and sister- have heard him talk of his brother Johii, but never heard him say John went to London ; have heard him talk about a brother that went to London : never told Mr. John Pritchard I had; 1 never said his name was John ; never heard the christian names of brothers or sister; have heard him call Mrs. Ward sister ; knew the two Wards that came there ; they called Michael uncle. Thomas Wig ley, aged 80— Have heard Abraham Jan ad re II say, speaking of John, I think he is as near a relation to me as any body. Richard Cooper, keeper of Ponteshury workhouse,- aged 83— Lived with Michael Jaundrell one year - have seen John Jaundrell there; have heard Mil ohael say he was the nearest relation he had except his son Abraham. Martha Jones, sister of plaintiff— I have heard my father say Michael Jaundrell and my grandfather' were two brothers. Mr. Campbell, for the defence, said, that on the death of the. late Mr. Abraham JaVindrell au inquiry took'place a, s to who was his next heir, and it was proved to he ihe defendants ; that he would shew John the son of Michael and Mary Janildielt went to London and died there ; and, lastly, lie would pro- duce deeds of lease and release, by which Michael aud Mary conveyed their property to' theirs,, u . Miehacl, and that in such deed tie was described as their suit and heir, which could not he the ease if the John under whom llie plaintiff claimed had been I heir son, because thai John, according to the plaintiff's own shewing, did not die until July 13, 1745, and the deeds wore dated before thai lime, namely 25ill and 26th July, 1743.— These deeds were then, at Ihe suggestion of the Judge, put in evidence, lo see whether they alone would satisfy them. They were dated as above, and were made between Michael Jaundrell the elder and Mary his wife, of ihe first part, and Michael Jaundrell the younger, sun and heir of ihe said Michael Jaundrell the elder and Mary his wife, of the oilier part by ihese the for- mer, for the sum of £ 120 and nn annuity of £ 12 per annum during the joint lives of Michael and Mary, with one of £ 5 to the latter if she survived her hus- band, conveyed all their properly tr, Michael Ihe • Thomas Whitmore, Esq. foreman of the Jury, soil,- Tliouias succeeded Richard ; 1 was well acquainted I ", fler ", f¥ °°" sl, l1"' il ' « ' minutes, said with him, and when he died he left me his horse, "' ey TT ! ."

Mr. Campbell Ihen addressed the Jury in reply, and contended his learned friend ( Mr. Taunton) had not impugned his client's ease. The spurious entries that had been adduced by Mr. Taunton were not ill the books on which he rested his claim to their verdict, and therefore he had nothing to do with them, it was immaterial to his client whether they were fabricated or not. Then as to the hand- writing,— whv the person called to prove it had never seen the partv write but once. With respect to the register produced by the plaintiff, and the entries not being in the transcript:— there was, on the same page, one beside the entry in question, which did not appear iu those transcripts. The register, he admitted, was irregularly kept, but it was equally clear the transcript was not quite exact.— As to the surrender on which his learned friend rested so strongly, what did it turn out to be? why a surrender,' not to Richard, son of Thomas and Mary, but to a Richard, son of Thomas and Jane. With respect to the will, that, was entirely driven from their consideration, and what evidence remained ? none but ihat Mr. Hopton was acquainted with Richard and Thomas, and that Thomas declared he did not know who was his heir. Then only suppose Richard had talked about a brother Valentine, it must have been upwards of 80 years ago, and it was not likely that an old man of above 80 years of age should remember such a circumstance. He further contended that the entry was genuine, and that nothing had been adduced to prove the contrary. There were other entries on the same side the page— others in tbe same hand- writing, and as to the mis- spelling, why it was the parish- clerk that made the. entries, and not the clergyman, and parish- clerks in those davs were not likely to spell very well. The great Duke of Marlborough could scarcely spell a word, and even the great Lord Chatham could spell but little. There was no other proof of its being a forgery: diet. James Perkins— I was at school with Mr Abra- ham Jaundrell; remember Ml. hael his father* heard Abraham say that John Janndrell, brother of Michael, died a young man and a single man. Elizabeth Ambler, aged 70- My husband was second cousin to Abraham JaundieM ; I kn^ w Mi- chael ; 1 have heard my husband say that Michael had no brother married, and that one of them died in London, and that Abraham Ward's mother was a sister to Abraham JaUndrell. Margaret J auudrell ( widow of the fate Mr, Abrrf Janndrell), Mr. Taunton, for the plaintiff, objected to this witness' being examined, on the ground that she was an interested person, being then tenant in possession, and having- been served w ith notice of ejectn ent.— Mr. Campbell submitted that he was entitled to ex- amine her as to where she'found certain writings- and this from the necessity of the case; anil in sup- port of his opinion quoted the Berkeley Tithe Cause, in which Dr. Jenner, an interested witness, wa* called upon to produce, certain depositions, but was Objected to on that ground, and the learned Judge who tried ihe cause over- ruled the objection from the necessity of that case, and when the point was afterwards argued before the Vice- Chancellor, the evidence was admitted. Mr. Taunton contended lhat tithe causes were different from others, and that ihe orre quoted did not apply lo the present case.— Mr* Justice Littledale said he would allow the witness to be examined, and would take a note oi Mr. Taunton's objection. The witness produced the deeds he fore- went ioued, and some other papers, which, she s- vid, were found among- her late husband's papers after Im death. The deeds were then read, as were three letters. The first, dated Jan. 21, 17W9, was from Joho Jaundrell, and commenced ik Honoured father and mother,' 4 and expressing his sorrow at not getting into business; also thathe was in a place with Mr. Chtireb, but had to pay 8s. or 7s. a we> k for bis hoard. This was directed for Mr, Michael Jan'ndrell, of Churton, to be left at the Red L* ou, Shrewsbury, Salop. The next letter commenced, as before, and was dated' Feb. 11,1728- 9, To this he acknowledged { TURN OVES.] [ CONTINUED FKOJl THIRD PACE.] the receipt of 1 lie clothes he lind written for in n pre- vious letter, nnd of a couple of fowls and a ham sent tu Mr. Church, it was directed as before, and had llie post- mark on it. The third letter was dated Mmch - If), 1729 { ihe saihe year), and was written by Ii friend of his ( named Thomas Darby) to Mr, Church, of Shrewsbury, or in his absence to lie nneued bv Mr. C. Vming. This staled that " By Thursday's post 1 sent yon an account of poor John JaundiclVs misfortune ;" but on Friday the small pox came out, and since then he has been extremely ill." ll also mentioned Mr. Capes as being the apothecary, and desired tln- lu lo apprize his paieuls of il, and, if he should die, to know where and how tliev'would have him buried. In a postscript ihe writer mentioned that he had been again lo see linn, mill that he was worse— The lie xt evidence adduced was a portion of a Infer verv much mutilated, hut containing enough to shew clearly that it « rns a bill for a funeral: among llie items were— hlirber ( id.; two hollies of sock 4s.; apothecary £ 3.12s.; nun- pike 2s. lOd.; bearers 4s.; digging 3s.; lor the burying 3s.

Vs adjoining Pulvei hatch, proud the baptism of several'John Jaulidiells about Ihe lime in question, to shew that the plaintiff might have been one of them he also proved the inscriptions on the tombstones belonging to the Jaundrells, to shew that John the son of Michuel and Mary was not buried wiih the rest of the family. William Oakley, brother- in- law to Abraham Jaumli ell, said, llifil when the plaintiff came ever to claim tbe property, Mrs. Jaundrell told him that the Wards wen- the right heirs to it, and thai she had nlwavs understood so from Mr. Jauitdrell himself. Witness hi aid Abraham Jaundrell say Ward was his tirst cousin and right heir. Jane Oakley — Mv husband was a brother to Mr. Jaundrell. I knew' Abraham Jaundrell well, and have beard him Say, that in case of dying without a will, the estate would go to Ward, of Hay Farm, for be was heir at law. Rcv. J Jones, of Habberlev, was curate of Pul- verhalch from 17!) 1 for 16 or 17 years; did not leside there, there being no house belonging to the livinir; used lo put his horse up nt Mr Abraham Jaundiell's every Sunday and feast- day he went over t-> do duty ; bad urged him occasionally lo make bis will, biit he always said he bad no occasion, for that Abiahoui Ward was his nearest relative, and the pro petty would go to him. Verdict for defendants. MORGAN ii. DICKMAN. This was an action to recover the sum of £ 59. 7s Ed. being tbe balance of mi account for goods sold and deliiered by the plaintiff, who is a farmer, butcher, and maltster, to the defendant, an excise- man, nnd to which action tiie defendant had given notice of a set- off respecting salt, and hod applied f.. r a bill of particulars of the plaintiff's demand, lienrv Ackerley, butcher, and George Davies, mult, maker, both in the employ of ihe plaintiff, proved the delivery ( at various times during the preceding tliiee or four years) of nleat and malt to the defend- ant, also of a'ltiare woilh £ 30, two pigs worth 17s. each, and a cow worth five guineas. John Morgan, faiher of the plaintiff, proved the delivery of a bill to the defendant before Feb. 4, 1824, from Ihe plaintiff, on which occasion he said he was going to Ellesmere for £ 60, which he would give to the plaintiff, and lie hoped be would slop for the remainder; also tbe defendant promising last sum- mer to pay the plaintiff iu the course of n foriuight. _ . 1 '* —;- g last hi no n ime he for the favour of bill in John Simpson proved the defendant saying summer to the plaintiff that hp lind brough money wilh him, but if lie would give him tin would bring him some — Mr, Campbell, fid defendant, contended the balance was in favo the defendant, and said lie would produce a b the plaintiff's hand- writing, beginning ' Mr. Mor- gan to Mr. Dickman,' which amounted lo £ 118. 9s. 9d.— Mr. J. Morgan, father of the plaintiff, was brought forward to prove Ihe delivery arid hand- writing of the bill in question, which was on half a sheet of letter paper, but he distinctly proved that ( he bill lie delivered consisted of two leaves, and was n double bit of paper.— Mr. John Johnson was then called on the part of the plaintiff, to prove the service of a notice on the defendant to produce all Sccounts, book,, hills, & c. and particularly a bill delivered by the plaintiff's father; after which, Mr. J. Morgan was again examined as to the account he delivered, and satisfactorily proved that it was written on two pages, the plaintiff's account on tbe cue side, and tbe defendant's on tbe oilier, and lhat ( l- e. former was the greatest.— Mr. Taunton, in rcplyin", denominated the defence as one of the most gross and impudent frauds lie had ever known iittempied in he imposed on the credulity of a Jury ; tint he was satisfied Ihe attempt would only recoil on t'. ie authors, who he trusted would be visited with tiie contempt, and punishment they deserved. The defendant, be said, had come before them and delivered in only one half of the account lie had notice to produce, aud which half made him the creditor instead of ihe debtor. The plaintiff, in the integrity of bis heart, had sent by bis father not only a statement of what was due to himself from tha defendant, but also of what he hinisi If bad had from the defendant towards if, and the latter had the impudence now to produce the latter part only, and bring it forward us a defence to the action. But Vsides llie ultrr impossibility of a Jury believing that such an account could have been 6ent by the plaintiff, ' » was clearly in evidence flint the one delivered hud two leaves ; and Ibis fact was curro- boiated hy the words " Sheet 2" being ou the one now produced, not in the hand- writing of the plain- tiff as the other part was, but in the hand writing of another person he need nut mention. Verdict for plaintiff—£ 60. ROGERS t.\ JONES. The plaintiff occupied a farm near Ellesmfre, ot which town the defendant lives and keeps the Black Linn nnd the action was brought to recover damages froin'tbe defendant for words spoken of the plaintiff. Mr. Campbell said the defendant had entered into 1 - no- lie with Mr. Mvttori for the unpleasant purpose which « » explained iu another cause. ( See / lepers v. Mytton, in our last.) The words charged against the defendant were, that lie bad said Mr. Rogers had been pouching in the night- time at the pool- tail, aud that the lion. Thomas Kenvou was determined to prosecute and transport him, as be bail done two or three others before.— The words spoken were clearly proved by plaintiff's first wit- ness- also that defendant said he saw Mr. Myllnn write a Irtler to Mis. Rogers, but that lie did nol know what was in il.— The plaintiff had, before the cause commenced, offered to the defendant to take n verdict for 40s. damages, which the hitter refused.— That liberal offer cos, at this stage of the cause, again most handsomely renewed, and a verdict for 40s. damages, which carries costs, was taken by consent. EDMUNDS r. PEI. I1 AM. An action, brought by Mr. Edmunds, ofOswestrv, Against the defendant, J. Cressett Pitlham, Esq. M. P. to recover th: sunt of £ 63. 5s, Od. the amount of his bill for bis exertions, trouble, and business • Wm* <,-. one of the defendant's agents at his election in 1822.— J. M. vtlon, " Esq. considered Mr. Edmunds employed iu tiiat election ou behalf of Mr. Pelllam. — Mr. N. Minslmll, solicitor, Osweitrv, said Mr Edmunds acted on behalf of Mr. Pelbain. Ou the 4ih Nov. Mr. Pelliam told witness be retained wit uess for the election, and a few days after he received a letter from Mr. George Wingfield, dated Castle, Shrewsbury, desiring him lo consider himself as retained for Mr. Pclham. The plaintiff assisted iu the canvass, and witness aud he agreed lo divide the hundred between them, one lo take the one side and the oilier the other side; considcied that Mr, G. Wingfield bad ihe general management of the elec- tion, aud from him witness received directions as to the provision lhat was lo be made for bringing up ilic voters; saw Mr. Winglield at the Castle, super, i. itending and giving directions lo the cletks. Soon after the election, without sending in a hill, witness received from Mr. Pelham fitly pounds for his own trouble, thirty pounds for. his partner, £ 20 for his' clerks, and ten pounds for travel! ing expenses,— John flavwanl was employed by Mr, G. Wingfield as a clerk : it the Castle, and was paid bv liiui ; could nol tell who had l! c management of the election. — Mr. Cockerell, surgeon, Oswestry, said Mr. Edmunds took part in tiie canvass on the 4th November, and was most uc i i 11 throughout I he whole of tbe election ; saw Mr. Pelbain am! Mr. Edmunds together; Mr. Mvttou introduced Mr. Edmunds lo fllr. Pelham, and after some conversation heard Mr. Pelbnm snv to Mr. Edmunds—" You will be active, Sir, in my cause, as I shall certainly go to the poll, and conti- nue to ihe last."— It was also proved that the plaintiff received a letter from Mr. George Wingfield, similar to the one received hy Mr. Miushall, desiring him to consider himself retained for Mr. Pelliam.— Mr. Taunton, for the defendant, said there was on the plaintiff's shewing sufficient evidence to prove that Sir. Pelham was uot wanting in liberality whereever lie hud incurred responsibility, us was clearly evinced by his conduct with regard lo Mr. MinshaP, whotn hi- had himself retained: and his unwillingness lo pav the defendant anise from a sense of duty, lie never having retained him nor authorised any oilier pi uon 11 do~ so, 1 admit Mr. Edmunds was on ihe c invass, so were many other respectable freeholceis, and however he may he entitled to he paid hy some one, the laws aud Couslilulion of this country will not entitle him to be paid hy Mr. Pel ham on account of Ins being the successful candidate. As to the letters written by Mr. George Wiugfield, they do not ufleet Mr. I'elhaui any mine lhan those of any oilier freeholder would, unless it had been proved, which il clearly had nut, that he was his general ogent aud was specially employed to retain others. Other respectable freeholders exerted themselves for Mr. Pelham ; and to Hu m, as well as lo Mr. Edmunds, the words mentioned by Cockerell might as well be appliid, for thev Were the very words be would he likilv In use toe very one who look an interest iu the election, and were' probably spoken by him to a hundred or a thousand persons in ihe course « f u day; but does it follow, thai because freeholders put themselves forward, that therefore every one nf them thai attends the committee is to be considered an agent of ihe candidate and bind hint to any expense they please to put him to? certainly not. And Mr. Pel'liinn considered it bis duly lo resist pay- ments of this kind on constitutional grounds. A gentleman who is elected is obliged to take bis seat, uot for his own benefit hut for the Benefit ol those who send him lo Parliameut. The learned counsel then alluded lo the iiems in the bill, the first of w hich was " Having been retained on your behalf for the ensu- ing election, fee thereon £' i0; 10s. Od." Pretty good beginning, gentlemen, only 10 guineas for ihe iron hie of opening a letter; and'lhe other charges were of a similar nature— and even for on election loo great: hut I contend, that the defendant is not liable, he neither retained him lior authorized any other person to do. Mr. Edmunds is,! admit, entitled to a reward for bis services, but then be must apply for payment to those who employed him ; and if friends choose lo engage professional gentlemen as agents, those friends must lie content lo pay them.— Verdict for plaintiff, £ 63.5s. JONES, BART. v. IJ. OYD. An action to recover £ 48. lfis. Gd. being a balance of rent due for lands belonging lo the plaintiff, and occupied by the defendant. Without entering into themerils of the case, the defendant admitted there yvas a balance due for rent to the amount staled, though there was also money due from ihe plaintiff to him ; hut as the necessary steps to enable him to shew that in evidence had not been taken, he must consent to a verdict, and take other steps to recover Ihe money due lo himself. Verdict for plaintiff— £ 4S. 16s. ( id. PROBERT ( Executrix), v. GEORGE and others. An action to recover the value of a quantity of black jack, sent by Mr. Sheldon, ogent to the late Mr. Prober!, to the defendants, nt Bristol. The agreement, it appeared, was, that the defendants were to take the black jack at the rate of £ 4 pe ton, lo be paid for, whenused in sheet zinck at ltd per lb. To this action the defendants pleaded — 1st That they Were not liable ; and, 2dly, Tbe Statute of Limitations.— Mr. Philip George, father of one of llie defendants, was called to prove the band. writing of his sou lo several letters; but Mr. Ludlow, f„ r Ihe defendants, objected to the production of these letters on the ground that there was no stamp on I hem, and that they related lo transactions which had taken place above six years before. The objec- tion v. as, however, over- ruled by the learned Judge who said that all letters scut by post relating to mer chaudize, if the parties resided above fifty miles from each other, were out of the Statute. Tbe first of the letters, of which there were many, yvas dated March 18, 1811, and the last Sept. 9,' l813; they related entirely lo the dealings between the defendants aud Mi-.- Probert, and between them and Mr. Sheldon; and although almost all of ihein complained of the quality of the article, most of them contained a request to send more of it. From these letters the contract as mentioned above vius proved, and Mr, Sheldon ( who Aveut in 1821 to Bristol, lo try to get a settlement, hut yvilhbnt effect) yvas shewn a quan- tity of the black jack in question, which bad been calcined lo the amount of tyvo or three ton,; and it was contended, ou the part of tbe plaintiff, that ns the arlicle yvas lo be paid for when used, the onus of user lav upon the defendants ; and that as this was a transaction going on regularly, and they had proved pai l of the article to have been used within sis years, they were entitled to a verdict for the whole amount. For the defendants several objections were taken as to the pleadings, and they contended, that ns the plead- ings and evidence stood, there was not any one count upon which the plaintiff was entitled to a verdict; but- that if he yvas, as the Learned Judge seemed to think, entitled on the first and second counts, then it could only he for the value of the tyvo or three tons seen by Mr Sheldon in a calcined state.— His Lotd- ship, in summing up, left it to the jury to say, 1st, Whether the two or three luris in question were calcined iu llie life. time of Mr. Probert? 2d, Whe- ther, iu the life- time of Mr. Proherf, a reasonable time hail been allowed for the using of tbe whole? 3d, Whether any part bad been used ill bis life- time? and 4th, Whether any part was unfit for use ?— Ver- ilicl for plaintiff £ 10, being tbe value of 2J tons made in the life- time of Mr. Probert. They also found that there had been a reasonable time tu use all that was tit fur use.— The verdict was, therefore, entered for the plaintiff on llie tirst and second counts, and for the defendants on all the others, with liberty to the lalter to move to set the verdict fur plaintiff aside. BROOKES v. NICHOLI. S AND OTHERS, Au action upon a bond for £ 400, the execution of which was proved by Mr. William Lees, and a verdict given for the plaintiff. Shrewsbury House of Industry, Oil Tuesday, the 22d inst. a numerous Assembly of the Guardians of the Poor of the Six United Parishes look place at ihe House of Industry, pur- suant to advertisement; when Richard Pliuyre, Esq. having been called to the chair, the order for and notice of ibe meeting was read by the Clerk, also a resolution of a meeting of the Directors ou the 21st inst. expressing their determination to abide by the directions of this special assembly of Guardians, as to the averages for which they should call upon the United Parishes. Mr. EDCEBLEY then said, it remained for the Directors to slieyv the manner in which the averages have been called, and the alterations in the amounts which have heretofore been paid ; and to submit to the Guardians a variety of calculations which had been made as to the averages niid expenditure of the ' House. He then read a resolution of the 9ih of August, 1784, lo sheiv the order under which the li r^ l II V f |. -. 1 Ii hnti hpf> n e. allpil- and which, in th* Ae. t having taken Counsel's opiuiotl on the premises, those would now he read hy the Sblicitor. ( The case stated for the opinion of Counsel wasin brief, whether, as the averages had not beeu taken i i 1783, as directed by the Act,— as the present Averages did not. correspond in number or amount with those directed hy the statute,— and as tiie Act of Incorporation contained two clauses, partic ularly the 29th, which appeared to authorise an alteration in the sums fixed as the amount of Averages,^ he juardiaus and Directors could legally eqiialiie the Averages without going to Parliament for a new Art?] Mr. Campbell's opinion was first read.— lie was of opinion thai they could not alter the averages with- out going to Parliament: he did not think the£ 9th section of the Act gave any power to alter ihe Averages. It further appeared to him that the total amount raised could not now legally exceed double what had been the amount fixed by the Act. [ The 6iii of Geo. III. permitted this increase. j Parishes could not now appeal against the averages taken tinder the Act; hot if those averages were altered, Parishes might appeal. He thought the sooner the Act was repealed or amended the better. Mr. Cnrwood was of opinion that they could not niter the amount, of Averages, but were bound to foilow the Act as far as it was intelligible. Ati average ought to have beeu taken in 1783, and as that had not been done, it was clear that the present rate of average was illegal. The Directors may now take the average as directed for 1783; hi/* if the parish hooks were not produced to enable them to do so, they may, under the 29th clause, fix an average, having regard, however, to the value of the parishes and the number of poor. He was of opinion that the sum first raised under the Act was ( however absurd the supposition) intended to be a maximum. The Act of 36ih Geo. III. however, allowed the sums thus fixed to be raised in Incorporated Districts to lie doubled, under certain circumstances. On the whole, he was of opinion there was no safe course but to apply to the Legislature for an amendment of the Act. Mr. Whatelev, from the best consideration of this Very obscure Act, was of opinion that neither Guardians nor Directors were empowered to equalize the Averages, and that there was no means of re. moving the evil but by application to Parliament The average adopted from the year 1781, was not the legal average, but if one were taken for the year 1783, as directed by the Act, it would not remove tlie evil, as the Directors could not now legally raise more than double the amount of that average, and could not equalize the payments from the respective parishes. Tlie parishes unequally burdened Could not appeal against averages taken Under the direc- tions of the Act ; hut if the Guardians or Directors were of themselves to aber those proportions, then the parishes might appeal.] Rev. J. LANG LEV.— Then as no average was taken in 1783, the present amount of rate is collected with- out any legal authority. Mr. EOOERI. EY.— Yes ; and Mr. Cufwood said the Directors had been foryears doing whatKing Charles 1. lost his head for— levying taxes without the authority of Parliament. Mr. WIIITMJURST then tnoved$ " That, it appearing by. the individual opinions ( now read) given to the Directors by Counsellors Cur wood, Campbell^ and Whateley, that unjust and illegal poor's rates have been by former Directors levied upon the United Parishes during 38 years, under the supposed authority of an unintelligible, a confused, and worth, less local Act of Parliament; that such illegal rates have, during a series of years, caused enormous burdens to be borne by the proprietors and occupiers of property in the parishes of St. Chad, St. Julian, iloiy Cross, and latterly in St. Alktnond's;-— and it Ks the opinion of this meeting, that the unequal and unchecked expenditure undersucb an Act of Parlia- ment has tended to increase the number of poor in this District, and to add to their moral degradation." Mr. IIAZLEDINF. seconded the motion, which was carried unanimously. The clause of the Act by which the average of 1783 was directed to he taken, and the 29th clause, hy which it was considered that the Directors were empowered to alter the amount of the averages, were then read. Rev. J. LANGLBY.— If the average of 1783 were to be taken,; as it would only bring the proportion two years further than the present average, it would produce no benefit. Why are we to be bn. ribe. ned with this useless Act for so trifling an alteration ? and why should we be tied down so as to prevent our taking advantage of the various beneficial Statutes since enacted ? I think the sooner the Act of In- corporation is repealed the better. Mr. HAZLEDINE.— The Directors can only legally call for about £ 5500, whereas the average expendi- ture of the last 12 years has been above £ 8600 ; so that if we abide by the Act the poor. must starve. Mr. WATTON.— The Act will hot avail us in times of necessity. Mr. HAZLFDINE.— During the last 12 years pro visions have been at the lowest, and yet, notwith- standing the enormous expenditure, thaestahlishment is in debt; and we can only raise oven the sum of £ 5500 a- year when corn is above a certain price. Mr. EDGERLEY.— Ten years ago the House was raising 4 times what was allowed by the Act of Parliament. Mr. WATTON.— Ten years after the House wag established the pay to Out- Poor amounted in the year to £ 298; in 1S18 tbe amount was £ 6000. Mr. COOKE suggested that the opinion of the Guardians should he taken as to the propriety of the Directors calling for an equitable average, in the proportions specified in the printed sheet now in the hands of the Guardians. [ If the average were taken according to the scale referred to by Mr, Choke, the average for St. Chad would be £ 80. 10s. 8d. instead of £ 106. 8s. as now- paid; St. Mary £ 59. 7s. 6d. inst* ad of £ 40; St. Aikmond £ 24. 3s. 0£ d. instead of £ 22. 12s.; St. Julian £ 21. 7s. 9d. instead of £ 28s. 4s. ; Holv Cross £ 17. 12s. instead of £ 25. 6s.; and Meole £ 17. 2s llid. instead of £ 9. 14s.] Rev. J. LANGLE^.— 1 believe all concur in the opinion that the. more we go into this Act, the more difficulties present themselves. The Directors have, it appears, been acting illegally for 40 years; the consequence has been the perpetuating of heart- burnings and strife in the United District; and yet we are consulting about continuing an Act under which every pauper, even the children, in. the House, will cost £ 20 per head per annum. Mr. O. D. OWEN ( the Steward), here beg- ged to protest against the printed statements being taken as shewing the real state of the cost of the poor individually. [ Several* voices round the table interrupted Mr Owen, telling him to desist, and " Never mind that."] Rev. J. LANGLEY.— The llouse is only used as a dormitory, for the poor are not compelled to come in and reside; and the expenditure of every pauper bf the parishes for the 12 years preceding Easter, 1824 ; and some of the Guardians contended that, by llie 29th section of the Act, they could do so. Mr. WATTON.— Gentlemen, we have hitherto had a vpiy dry subject, and we will now turn to one of o different sort. Having made out a case as for those who are against the Act, 1 shall now read thai of the persons w ho are for it. [ Mr. W. here commenced the reading* and dis- section of the Petition of Ihe Corporation of Shrews- bury.] To the Honourable the Commons of thb United Kingdom •• of Gre& t. Britain and Ireland in Parliament assembled: The Humble Petition, of the Mayor, Aldermenj and Assistants of . the Town of Shrewsbury, in Common Council assembled j SHEWETH, , That your petitioners have learned with concern that it Bill has fieen brought into your Honourable House for the Repeal of the Act'of Parliament passed iu the year 1784, entitled " Au Act for the better Relief and Eraploy- " ment of the Poor belonging to Several Parishes within " the Town of Shrewsbury; iud the Liberties thereof, in -' the County of Salop," incorporating- certain parishes within the said town of Shrewsbury and the liberties thereof, for the purpose of the joint maintenance of their poor. That the introduction of such Bill into your Honourable House yvas tirst determined upon at a " Meeting of the Guardians of the Poor, incorporated for a special purpose only, aud whose powers are, as your petitioners believe, strictly limited to certain functions prescribed by the existing Act of Incorporation; and such Guardia: s, in their corporate capacity, were and are totally incapacitated Irom delegating their authority toauy Committee, or from originating any measure of the nature noiv before your Honourable House.. Gentlemen, I do not know much of common law, but I will venture to put Judge Blackstoue against this lawyer of the Corporation, whoever he may he. And what says Judge Bhickstone ?— A corporation may ba dissolved. 1. By act of parliament, which is boundless in its operations. 2. By the natural death of all its members, in case of'an aggregate corporation. 3. By surrender of its franchises Into Ibe hands of the king, which is a kind of suicide." [ This we did by going to Parliament for a Repeal.] " 4. By forfeiture of its charier, through negligence or abuse of its franchises; iu which case" the luyv judges thru the body politic has broken ilie condition up. HI which il was incorporated, and thereupon the incorporation is void." This we have done; nor will any lawyer say, the conditions on which this Act was passed, have been fulfilled. We have two grounds then for applying to Parliament, and these are not illegal, but slrictly legal; therefuie, whoever drew up that Petition, bus forfeited his judgment as a lawyer. That such Guardians having, nevertheless, formed a Committee, and associated to themselves other individuals, have given public notice of the introduction of two Bills' inconsistent with each other, into your Honourable House) but that they laid no ground for the introduction of such Bills by any other previous enquiry as to the necessity yr expediency of such measure;--- Now they say we have laid no grounds for intro- ducing a Bill; when it is well known that in 1805, a Cummiiiee of Gentlemen was appointed, who made calculations for that purpose; and again ihe same was done in 1808 ; anil it is a strong fact, that all tbe Members of those Committees who are noyv living remain steady to Ihe same purpose. We have, therefore, I think, laid sufficient grounds for our proceeding. though thc- y have, as your petitioners believe, by means of a closc Sub- committ. ee, drawn up a Report, after having determined on » uch measure, and given the usual notices by which they attempt to justify such measure. Nuvv as to this close Sub. Committee. Many Gentlemen in each of the Parishes were proposed as Members of the Committee; nnd why did they not attend? If the Committee has been close, those ho make this complaint have themselves shut the Committee- room door. That your petitioners are informed, and believe " Believe!" We have plenty of belief here; so that this. I suppose, is the Cree'd of the Corporation — or rather I ought to soy of a party ill the Cor- poration ; for I am sure the majority are not of this opinion. that two out of the six Incorporated Parishes arc almost unanimous in their . pposition to the said Bill or Bills,— It yvill readily be believed lhat two of the Parishes are unanimous in their opposition, [ Mr. P. EVAKS denied that St. Mary's yvas uunni limits in opposing the Bill; llie parishioners had never been consulted ] aud that a great proportion of the principal land owners and payers of rates iu the other parishes are also adverse thereto. Mr. WATTOW continued.— It is true many of the great landed proprietors are opposed to the Bill ; but the great majority in numbers is with us. Put the property of one of the gueat proprietors against that of twenty of those who are for the Bill, and the latter will be found to preponderate ; and Parliament will not reason upon great names, but upon the merits of the case. A nobleman said to me, last Friday, there are a many great names here against you, but when the case comes before Parliament, these great persons will appear but very little. We, hotvever, are not without great, names; Lord Forester, Robert Burton, Esq. ( who, I conceive* has a very large property), and Mr. Corbet^ of Sundorne, are with us first averages had been called, and which, in the Act of Incorporation are mentioned as the proportions laid down for each parish, from an average of their expenditure for 12 years preceding Easter, 1781. The averages continued to be taken monthly at this amount until Jan. 4th, 1790, when, from the high price of provisions, and the increase of poor, the averages thus called for would not meet the expendi- ture, aud notice was given calling for three ad- ditional averages; thus, in the following year, there were 15 averages taken ; the amounts of which were added together and then divided by 12, and the product was settled as the foundation of the amount of the averages taken from that period to the present time. On the 27th February, 1800, it was resolved, from the great additional expenditure in the relief of Out- Poor, and from the expenditure of the House havingso greatly increased, that theaverages should be called for every three weeks ; and they since have gone on increasing without limit until in one year 39 averages were called for.— Mr. Edgcrley here pro- duced a balance sheet, of account, to shew what view the Directors had taken of the averages and ex- penditure of the House ; and observed, that, in fact, although, according to the Act, an average was to have been taken from the expenditure of the Parishes for the 12 years preceding Easter, 1783, and w hich was to have been, according* to the letter of the Act, the statute average for ail future years, yet this average had never been taken, and the Directois have always abided by the average calculated from ihe 12 years preceding Easter, 1781, being the first n- verage taken and laid before Parliament when the Act of incorporation was obtained. Mr. E. then read from the balance sheet before- mentioned a variety of items ; among other statements it appeared that dur- ing the last S- 2 years precedifi'gEastef, 1824, the parish of St. Chad had over- paid the sum of £ 7160. 0s. 6d.; St. Julian had over- paid £ 2172. 3s.; and Holy Cross had over- paid £ 3455. 10s. ( xl.; and that, during the same period, the parish of St. Mary had under- paid £ 8726. Is. 9d.; St. Aikmond had under- paid ,£ 700. 0s. 9d.; nnd Meole had under- paid £ 3376. 3s. Od. [ It was observed, however, that, since 1818, St. Alkmond's parish had beeu a loser. J Mr. EDGERLEY.— The object of the Directors, in producing these accounts to the Guardians, is to submit them to their decision as a ground for the regulation of future averages; and the Directors might be reduced, from 40s. to 50s. per head, by selling this building a* d getting rid of thesvstem. Mr? WATTON.— From calculations made^ by tiie late Mr. Rage, and other gentlemen, it appeared that every pauper in the establishment ( including women and children) cost 7s. 7d. per head per Week ; aud that, by purchasing a less place, a saving of £ 1. 10s. per head would at once take place. It was well kno^ n that the late Mr. IsaacWoodwas the great promoter of this establishment. He was well- known to Mr. Rage, who had observed, that "' If honest Isaac Wood were here, he would be the fit st to propose its abolition." Mr. O. D. OWEN ( the Steward) begged to state his reasons for protesting against the printed state- ments being taken as shewing the real state of the cost of the poor per head. [ To this there was much opposition; hut the Chairman told him to proceed.] Mr. Owen. said, inthe first place, it would shew the fallacy ef the estimates which had been made byx referring* to the item of medical attendance, the whole of which was taken in the amount from which the cost per head was calculated of the persons in the establishment ; when, in fact, as the medical attendant himself had said, two- thirds of that charge went to the relief of the O^- Poor. [ Here Mr. Owen was again interrupted, and, as it were, compelled to desist.] Mr. HAZLEDINE said that when he was a Director, the expense per head of the establishment alone was, for each pauper, without either food or clothing, £ 6. 6s. per head per annum , Rev. J. LANGr. EYthen moved, " That the Directors do ascertain and fix the Sums to be immediately assessed and collected from the respective Parishes, according to an average of 12 years pieceding Easter, 1783, if the parish books are produced to their satisfaction to enable them to form such aver- ages ; and if that should not be the case, then that nn F. quitable Assessment be made according to the 29th Clause of the Local Act, and that the same do continue until the intended Act of Repeal is ob- tained Attention being paid by the Directors to the Act of 36th Geo. 3d, c. 10, " which limits the Amount to be collected in all Incorporated Districts." PRICE WATKIS, Esq. seconded the motion, which was carried unanimously. Some previous incidental discussion, however, took place, as to whether the Directors could legally, under any circumstances, call for an average calculated frotu " the expenditure That such adverse parties have, by their solicitor, applied to the said Committee for a Copy of the Report, by which it is attempted to justify their proceeding*, andalso to the Directors of the said Corporation for liberty to examine and make Extracts from the Books of the Corpo- ration, in order to ascertain the correctness of the allega- tions upon which their proceedings are, as they assert, founded; all which their reasonable requests have been peremptorily refused. They have further requested that the second reading: of such' Bill or Bills should hot be pressed for in your Honourable House till such reasonable period as may give them an opportunity of examining1 into the nature of them, and determining, upon due delibera- tion and knowledge of the facts, what course it will be for the common interest of the United Parishes to adopt which request hath also been refused. As to this application for a copy of the Report, as I was at a distance at the time, I can only speak from information. If, however, the Gentlemen had attended, as they were called upon to do, they would not have been without information. But the Gentle- man of St. Mary's are determined to oppose. [ Mr. F. EVANS.— The question has never been put to the parishioners. J Why, certainly, there has been no parish meeting called there since 1818, when they would not equa- lize, but would dissolve, because, though they did appear to gain by the unequal payments, yet, in fact, they considered that, hy the system, they got nothing*. As to this application for a copy of the Report, could they reasonably expect a copy. In fact, putting the question as a lawyer would, was it likely they would give a copy of their brief to their Opponents? [ Here the meeting became impatient; many gen- tlemen left ; others called upon Mr. W. to read the Petition, hut to refrain from comments.] Mr. WAT TON then continued to read nearly the whole of the following passages of the petition in a sarcastic manner, amid llie laughter of the assembly : That no Draft of the said Bill or Bills has been circu- lated, so as to give an opportunity to the several parties who will be affected thereby of ascertaining what are these proposed enactments, as has been usual iu all cases interest- ing to the town in general; That your petitioners, comprehending in their body the whole magistracy of the town and liberties thereof, have had ample opportunity of observing the effect which the which Can be relied upon has been kept since the passing » of the . Act as to the settlement of paupers, where the question lay between two of the incorporated parishes; that, therefore, the sudden dissolution of the Incorporation would bo an Act of great iujustice, and open the door to great and vexatious litigation. Now as to this mass of poor and illegitimate child- ren being apprenticed to the Factories ; w hy it is not true. Gentlemen, there has not one been put there. The Directors, some years ago, actually brought an action against Sir J. lleathcote for transferring a parish apprentice to the Factory., That your petitioners, the Ancient Corporate Body of this town, and as such deeply interested in its welfare, " have, in no sort, beeri consulted in a matter so greatly aftecting the general good, and, in common with their fellow- townsmen, have had no opportunity of examining the provisions of the Bill now introduced before your Honourable House, or the other Bill of which notice lias also been given, or of the Report by which such measures are attempted to be j ustified. Now, as to their not being consulted, whose fault is that? all our proceedings hav « been open; some of the Body were named upon the Committee; but they have not attended ; aud why then should they ci mplain ? Thinking,-— " 1 am glad to see that from belief they are come to thinking—" therefore, such measures have been hastily— [ Eight months.] and unnecessarily brought forward; that fair opportunity hath been denied for investigation; that many of the inconvenient . clauses of the present Act of Incorporation have been rectified by General Acts of Parliament, and that the remaining objectionable clauses are susceptible of like remedy: Your Petitioners humbly pray that such Bill or Bills may not pass into a law. Now Gentlemen, for the other Petition, as to ivliich, as it is a counterpart of that of the Corporation, I shall not detain yon long. It commences—"' i'he humble Petition of the several Persons whose names are hereunto subscribed, being owners or occupiers of rateable property within tire United Parishes of Shrewsbury and the Liberties thereof." — Mark, Gentlemen, the expression, u occupiers of rateable property," not rate- payers. We have wit- nesses to bring forward who will, prove that it has been signed by paupers. It has been got together under such circumstances, that two persons will be committed :"...,[ Here, some Gentlemen near Hie speaker stopped him before he had finished his sentence.] Mr. HAZLEDINE then moved, " That the paper now read, purporting to be a Copy of a " Petition from the Mayor, Aldermen, and Assistants of the Town of Shrewsbury," but which in reality is ac credited by only a small party in that body, contains unfounded allegations aud charges against the '^ In- corporated Guardians of the Poor" and Directors ; and in almost every paragraph there are assump- tions and assertions which are capable of beino* proved to be untrue, both hy documents and wiT nesses : — that, therefore, this Incorporation, iu Vin- dication of itself as a Body against the aforesaid Party, and in vindication of the former proceedings of'the Corporation of Guardians, hereby authorizes the appropriation of Two Hundred Pounds for ihe purpose of carrying necessary evideuce before Par- liament.." Mr. BIRCH.—( To Mr. Hazledine.)— Is it intended that the Directors of the House shall pay the £ 200 moved for ? Mr. HAZLEDINE.— I have read who is to pay it ; and you should have hearkened. Mr. BIRCH.—- I asked a civil question ; and cer- tainly I have received a civil answer, considering where it came from. Mr. WATTON.— Mr. Birch, it is intended for the Directors to pay the money. Mr. TOMKIES seconded the motion, which was carried with only one dissentient ( Mr. Birch). Mr. HAZLEDIKE.— Mr. Birch, you are in the minority. Mr. BIRCII.— I think it quite as respectable to be in the minority as to be in the majority. Mr. STEAD then moved, " That a Counter- Petition from each of the Six Parishes, denying and dis- approving the unfounded allegations and charges against the Guardians and Directors, be forthwith drawn up and numerously signed by Guardians and Rate - payers, and be presented to both ( louses of Parliament." Mr. WATTON.— Gentlemen, I will read just one specimen of this Petition of the occupiers of rate- able property. " That your Petitioners believe that " the said Act of Incorporation has been greatly for " the benefit of all classes of inhabitants in the said United Parishes; of the Poor, by their health, morals, and comforts having been better attended to than they otherwise would have been ; and of richerlnhabitants, by the Poor's- rates ha ving been \ kept much lower than they probably would have j been if the said Act had not been passed : for your Petitioners believe that the rates are now at a* less sum iu the pound upon the assessments of the said United Parishes than they were prior to the pass- ing of the said Act, although the pauper popula- tion is greatly increased^ if not doubled, since that time." Gentlemen, notwithstanding the poof have increas- ed, they say the rates are now less than they were before the Act passed. Is not this monstrous ? Mr; STEAD.— 1 would just observe, as to the Factories having'tnken apprentices: for the last 15 years not one has been taken at the establishment w ith which I am connected : and it cannot he proved that above one or two of the apprentices belonging to it have ever become Paupers. Mr. TAYLOR wished to explain the grounds Upon which the Directors had refused an inspection of their books to tbe Solicitors against the Bill. The Parishes of St. Mary and Meole had refused to allow their Books to be inspected, and therefore the Direc- tors refused to allow the Committee appointed by the Parish of St. Mary to inspect the Books anil Papers of the House.— The Committee for the Bill had obtained an order of a Special Assembly of Guardians for the purpose; and the Directors in- formed the Solicitor against the Bill that, if he con id obtain the sanction of an assembly of the Guardians, there would be no obstacle as to his access to the Books and Papers also. Mr. WATTON said, the expense of obtaining the Act of Repeal must, in the first instance, come out of the pockets of a few individuals ; if it was ob tained, however, the parishes would repay the ex- penses. Several hundred pounds had been advanced by a few individuals ; indeed, some noble sums had been given. At present, all the labour of the causa rested upon a few individuals, and he would suggest that some gentlemen in each parish should assist in collecting subscriptions in aid of the proceedings for a repeal of the Act. [ A few gentlemen volunteered, but the meeting- had by this time become much thinned in numbers.] This terminated the business for which the as- sembly was convened. For Colds, Coughs, Asthmas, 8cc.

Incorporation of the six United Parishes for the purposes aforesaid hath had upon the general prosperity of the town, and upon the health, morals, and comfort of the poor; and they believe that although the Act of Incorporation undoubtedly contains some inconvenient clauses, yet such Incorporation has, upon the whole, been highly beneficial- it has cut off a source of perpetual litigation and appeals between the parishes, and, from the airy situation and great space of the premises occupied by the poor without the precincts of tne town, it has obviated the danger of contagious diseases, and preserved the health of its inmates iu a much greater degree than could be expected within the limits of an ancient and closely- built town, and your petitioners believe that from the provision made for medi- cal attendance, and from the Establishment having •< regular Chaplain, that, the morals as well as the comforts of the poor are better attended to than they could be in separate parochial workhouses. That your petitioners do not believe that the amount of the poor rates has been at all increased by such Incorpora tion, but diminished; and that, though, during the pressure of the war and the state of distress subsequent thereto, the Incorporated Parishes, in common with the rest of the kingdom, were heavily burtheued, both by the maintenance of the poor and leg. il expenses, yet they are of opinion tl. iat the first charges were by no means in- creased, and the latter certainly diminished, by ihe union , and your petitioners believe, that reference being had to the increased price of all articles of consumption, and tc the different value of money, and to the increased popula- tion, that the rates now are not so high as they were 40 years ago, whe » the Act of Incorporation was passed. They say the Kates are not so high, Gentlemen When the Act was obtained, the total amount of the. Poor's Rates of the United Parishes was about £ 2000 a year; they have, within these few years been £ 10,000 a- year. And then Comes this statement ( you will call it a bouncer, 1 think) that though the poor have greatly increased, yet the amount of the rate for maintaining them is not greater, and that the law charges have been diminished. That since the passing of such Act . of Incorporation large manufactories have been established in one of the said United Parishes to the great benefit of the commercial interests of the town at large, and such parish, relying upon the provisions of the said Act, has found employ ment, and taken as apprentices, the great mass of poor and illegitimate children, which otherwise would have been - burthen on the other parishes; and that generally, from reliance on the provision of the said Act creating a com tnoa interest among the United Parishes, no account DREDGE'S HEAL- ALL, OO long celebrated througlkttit the West ^ 7 of Fngland, as the most efficacious Remedy for Green Wounds, Sprains, Bruises, Aches, Pains, Rheumatism, Burns, or Scalds; likewise for Chil blains ( before they are broke), Quinsey, Sore Throats, Whitlows, Cramp, & e.

In the House of Lords, on the 15th, a Petition was presented, by Lord KENYON, from the Bur- g- esses and Inhabitants of.

On the motion of the Earl of LIVERPOOL, an amendment was made to Lord Suffieid's bill, the object of which amendment is to provide against the use of Spring* Guns and Steel Traps in any place whatsoever. In the House of Commons, on the 17th, Mr Secretary Peel presented a petition from ihe Unj versity of Oxford against further concession to the Catholics. In the House of Commons, on the ! 8lh, Mr Grenfell calle. il the attention of Ministers to the uncertain state of the existing laws with respect to Joint Stock Companies, and inquired whether tin public would this session be put in possession of tli> opinion of the Lord Chancellor upon the subject Mr. HuskissOn replied, that he was sorry to see the spirit of speculation proceeding to so great an extreme. He lamented the formation of so many public companies, but as the law at present stood* he believed there was nothing illegal in their con stitution. There was nothing in the law to prevent persons forming* themselves into partnerships for fair and legitimate purposes. He was of opinion that the evil would cure itself; under such circum- stances he did not see how the Legislature could act and therefore he did not feel disposed to interfere At Stafford Assizes, Thomas Powell was found guilty of the murder of Ann Spencer, ( an aged woman, whose cottage he had also robbed), at Bushbury, near Wolverhampton, and was exe, cuted on Thursday.

Nervous and Hypochondriac Complaints arc mueir more prevalent in Europe than is generally imagined^ attended with many alarming symptoms, which certainly claim assistance nnd prompt relief. The TENDER FEMALE, though by nature destined! to be the preserver of the hum- ti. race, h vet liable, to many natural indispositions which often render her condition truly wretched ; and those who have resided in hot climates, aud are emaciated, or labour under a continual drain of nature, whereby their bodily strength is not only exhausted, but also their, vigour and vivacity impaired, will meet with a friendly monitor in this small, though important publication. The design of this, work i?,. likewise, to warn youth from falling into a delusive and destructive habit that faseinates the senses, destroys the health and spirits of its votaries, aud renders them feeble and inactive for life. *** Upwards of 110,000 copies have, actually been sold of tl Solomon'' s Guide lo Healthas certified under the hands of the printers :— a number so uncommonly large must be the best criterion of the merit of the work and of the approbation of the public.
