WILLIAM TYLER, Rennison's Bath, Feb 28th. 1830, [ MEM — Mr. T . writes like an honorable man ; but it is a ci oi I cac. se that an Insolvent should be compelled to incur all toe odium and erpence of enforcing front dishonest men the propirty justly due to his creditors. That is tlii' business cf the Assignee to his estate ; still 1 think it highly creditable to Mr. Tyler that he muni fests at once so decided an objection to dishonest lawyers and so earnest an anxiety to see his Creditors paid. In such > ff « rt I, shall be most happy to assist him— but it must be after the settlement of the affairs of the 11. 11. A. J. A. ~ To the EDI TOll of THE BRISTOLIAN. Sir, I am glad to see you have begun to lecture the Parsons, and particularly our beautiful Vicar, and 1 hope much g'od it wi 1 do him. Item— When you come next send for Or. pheus Lewis, our parish clerk — if he is dis- posed, he can make your hair stand on end more than it does already, bv the strange tales he can communicate about our Reverend the Vicar Item — I have lived in this parish this forty- four years, and never knew such goings! on Item — Some time; ago, say two or three | years, a poor man had the misfortune to lose j his wife that is, she died — well, as the saving is, the better the day the beiter the deed; ' j so the poor fello- v wished to have her com ! mitted to the earth on the Sabb , th— well, he 1 givesour Parson Vicar notice, and what s his conduct? he refused to bury Iter— its as true sthe Gospil is— h: had his own enga Jo- Tien: s to attend to— so his public duty must be done away with, and his private engagements for- sooth looked after. Now, nineteen men out of twenty would have let the Parson Vicar had his own way— but not so here; for the widower began to blow him up in stile, and moreover sent him notice that whether he came or not, the corpse should be carried to the church yard, and let him bide away at his peril. Now what was the consequence ? The Vicat found he had a man of mettle to deal with — but after all he did not come him- self ; but I'll tell you what he did— he sent another to do his duty on the occasion, and the corpse was buried on the Sand ay. Now Sir, I have gone into all this long history, bee . us- 1 I know every body here reads your paper and for that very reason every body will know, if our V cur behaves so again, how to treat him— and then if he should refuse to bury the body under such c rcumstances, what I advise is, that the family will let you know about it, because I know from the spirited manner in which you act, you w 11 write to the Bishop, and the Bishop will put the Vicar to rights in a twinkling. There is a second case, viz : — This is one relating to matrimonv, and I would not relate it if I did not know it was true. Item— A couple applied to be married on a Sunday they were poor people to be sure, but what of that — it was one of the reasons why the Vicar should have attended to them — poor people are not like the rich— the rich get all the work done for them, and it is no odds to them, for one day isas good as another Now the poor man loses no dav's labour when he gets married on a Sunday, and of course loses no wages — And as wedlock is a holy- lock, there can be no ha m in finding the key upon the Lords Day— well, they determine accordingly, and invite their hum- ble and industrious friends to eat their goose and apple sauce on the occasion of the anxi- ously 1 oked for wedding, and they get in a li tie of the right so. t of beverage to make them and their f iends comfortable— well, all things ready, away they stnd to let the Reve- rend Vicar know that they intend to be mar ried on Sunday— but Parson Davis cannot come, he is otherwise engaged !! ! My opinion. Mr. Editor, is, that at that time he was engaged, but it was in courting his pre- sent pretu little spouse, God bless her— well, will y ou believe it, he could not attend— they must come another day — they remon- strated— they begged— ihey prayed— they im- pl > red— but all in vain ; the Parson, as I have said before, was engaged, and could not, and he would not, and he did not, marry them. Item— Was this right, Mr. Editor— was it christian like— was it parson like, or I should have said, like what a Parson's conduct ought to be ? Now what was the consequence— a little patience Sir, and I will endeavor to tell you. The parties went away vexed, disap- pointed, and perheps I should not use too strong a word if I said disgusted into the bar- gain. They were kept that day from being male twain, and I believe from ihat hour to this no wedlock has taken place between the parties, though one, two or three years have since passed over their heads. I shall make no comment upon such con- duct, for I am a mere plain matter of fact man— I shall leave that for you to do, and 1 hope you will at the same time point out a remedy for she evil. Item— If the giddy youth ( for though he is a Vicar he is still to all appearance a boy and looks to me as if he would ever remain one) could act in this way by one couple, it is not unlikely he may have done so agam and again in cases that have not reached my knowledge— aye, and that he may continue his career of negligence and contumacy un- less he be well s rapped out of such conduct. A little of your Lane's Oil ol Leather" will, I should hope, do him as much good as a Bishop's admonition. My name, Sir it is not necessary I should here subscribe, but I vyill call upon you on Saturday, when you come to Chepstow, and let you know a few other matters as well, and in the mean time I subscribe myself, what my forefathers have been from the glorious Reformation.

What do you think, Mr. Editor, for I place a good deal of confidence in your opinion. B. B. A. BOARD OF DIRECTORS. Monday, March 1st- 18.' 9. The proceedings of the last meeting were confirmed. The following letter from Mr. Walker was read ;— TO THE DIRECTORS OF THE BRISTOLIAN BREAD ASSOCIATION. Gentlemen, I am this instant in receipt of the letter oj your Secretary of this morning, conveying to me the Kesolution of the Directors of the Association and requesting of me to revise my determination to resi « n theofneeof Soli- citor to the Establishment, and that I would continue to act. This mark of approbation is gratifying to my feelings— but after the lawless outrages on THE BRISTOLIAN. 419 the part of the rir. g. leaders of your last Committee, exciting the feelings of many of the Shareholders to acts of assassin- like vio- lence, in order to effect their disgraceful ob- jects— 1 can no longer consent to act as vour Solicitor, particularly as I conceive that these ring- leaders are utterly regardless of the law in the furthctance of their endeavours to subvert and destroy the Constitution of \ our Association. Mr. J. Cossens, who appear* to have made himself very conspicuous in these outrages, has been assured, that it became him, as a peaceable member, to yield to the decision of; tha Public Meeting which expelled him and i others from office, instead of convening the Shareholders and by exparte statement, in- flamed them to lend themselves to co- operate with him in the subversion of your regu- lations, and 1 have proposed to him, if lie Were dissatisfied with my opinion to have an interview with his own Solicitor, or any one of our Bristol Barristers upon the subject, either of whom, I had 110 doubt, would con- firm the opinion 1 hud previously given him upon the irregularity of his course. Mr. Cossens, as if convinced that he was wrong, has thought proper not to accept of my proposal, but by representations, which I cannot but be convinced are at war with the good feeling which should lead him to pro- mote the interest and good understanding of the Subscribers, has thought proper, it ap- pears, to break down the boundaries of your Social Compact, and with numbers of the Shareholders whose passions have been in- fluenced andjudgments perverted sallied forth and seized your effects by physical force and assailed beat and trampled upon those who opposed their lawless ca eer. Under such circumstances it is utterly impossible that I can hesitate for one moment to confirm my re. ignation of the i ffice of Solicitor to > our Association, and I request you will have the goodn, ss to publish my having done so with my reasons; lest it might be supposed by any man that 1 withdraw with disrespect towards . those who have conducted themselve, with • good order and dec; » rum— I withdraw, with this expres ion of my sentimests. that the Shareholders who have been led aslray, will not hesitate, when they come to hear the trickery which has been resorted to to in- duce thetji to be guilty of a breach of the peaca— to vent their indignation against their dJuders.

It' there be a more clear way of staling the truth than the publca- liou of the falsehood and exaggerations of others and the demon- tra ion that they are falsehoods and exaggerations I am ignorant of it; tner fore in the subjoined statement 1 have placed ; he lies of Alfred Phillips in a distinct type and between inverted commas. He says:— " The crafty Jnniny knows how to draw the poor credulous people over to him; for instance, it iU or oi- 5 I person* should ask alms of him in one day, none was more liberal than him, and then like the proud boasting pbafasee, be makes a areat outcry to the world, extolling his charitableconduct; but then, trom whence came tiie means ! Ask the funds of the li. U. A. » • The insinuation hete thrown out is that I have relieved ihe disires-. es id' others out ot me funds of the Association. I deny it. Tne proofs ot us falsehood consist, first, m the returns of my publica. ion which have from the time I lelt Gloucester Gaol, averaged above „£' 5U0. per an- num ; and secondly iu . the manner in much I have always met every demand made by the auditors ami every demand which, by anticipa- tion, I could sonceive it possible ibey might make. A « to mv alh-. g, d Ph< nsai ai boas. mjis, I plead guiltless to the charge and hope I have not even tne feeling whicn wu. ld prompt to such contemptible folly. 420' THE BRISTOLIAN y "( You see a large Newfoundland Dog fed with toast,' buttered on both sides. " It this were true, it could have no bearing on the question unless aider! by the inference lha 1 could only eat buttered tojsl by defrauding j the Shoreholders to the value of, at least thet butter. On enquiry, I learn, that the allega- tion that my toast is buttered on both stdes,| is tn. e; and on recollection, I am bound • to plead guilty to the minor offence of having taxed my dog's teeth with the mastication of an occasional crust of the said toast— possibly in • the prsence of Alfred Phillips.— Llis former intimacy has given him this advantage, that if 1 have done that which is wrong he knows of it • for I blush to say this being was once my fami- liar. Yet I have dared him to the extent of his knowledge. I have errors in common with all men; but if this social traitor canno: charge me with worse than en or, you, as honest men, are bound to believe me not criminal. '• The Instalment books are kept in a very disor- derly manner, being filled with secret marks which none can understand excepting . fames Acland anil • those to whom he may in confidence reveal this mystery " If there be any irregularity in the manner in which the books have been kept it is attributable • first to the extraordinary pressure of business at the time the instalments were received and se- condly, to the theft committed by the old faction , of the books of the Association at the time of their declared hostility to the interests of the Shareholders. 1 do not pretend to say, there- lore, that the books or the entries in them are unexceptionably accurate, but this I do say, ( and defy any body and everybody to contravert my assertion) that to make those books seem ac- curate, the clerks have posted to my debit many pounds which it was clear shareholders had paid but which it was as likely the old faction had received as myself— and to this fact all the clerks employed since the first division can bear and have borne their testimony. As to the secret marks in the books, I know of mme; nor are their any, unless to the stupi- dity of such accountants as Alfred Phillips. ticks against the amounts may be so consideied " And also many of the Instalments are carried out pencil marks, which are many of them nearly erased." This is a lie without the slightest imaginary pal" liation. Never has a single instalment been posted in pencil! " Your committee hired a room, No. 7. Bioad- mead, for a Couimittee- rooni anil counting- house, the • lav was fixed for leaving Mr. Aclaud's Premises, when suddenly Mr. A. fwund an opportunity to quar- rel with your committee, blackened their intentions ;> y the foulest insinuations, totally unfounded in ruth ; called a general meeting where his hired ruffians and spouting tobls so inflamed the few share- holders then present, that the wriier could not ob. tain a hearing, Mr A. well knowing if he had, he i mst most assuredly have felt the weight of truth. The large body of shareholders who were present at the lest general meeting, knew, as well as I do, that they were neither " hired ruffians" nor '' spou'. tna tools." If the meeting Was a picked one, what folly to have hundred" of double crown placards posted on the wall;! The only insinuation ( or rather assertion) made by me at the meeting was that a vast major- ity of the Committee decided in favor of pri- vate Committees in the face of their pledge given to the Shareholders at the Gallery of Arts. This fool ( to say the least of him) complains that h » could not obtain a hearing! Does he say that I frequently interceded with the Shareholders that he might be heard ? Oh, no ! that would have been a damr. ing truth to his foul charges against me. " We are * Hxed to our hearts when we see you still clinging to the deceiver, and you who place more re- liance in him than you do in your committee, who who have pour best interest at heart. I am proud to know that many hundreds of the Shareholders are pioof against the falsehoods of Alfred Phillips, and I can ima gine that he is " vexed to h; s heart when he sees" that it is so. As to the late Committee having ihe best interest of the Shareholders at heart, it will suffice to observe that in such case they need not be ashamed of their trans- actions, nor need thev seek privacy. I know whose interest Alfred Phillips had at heart when he sought to become Managing Director with a good salary and a house to live in. I also know that it was not the interest of the Shareholders he had at heart when he sent his Shares to Tailor's- hall and received back his money— he being at that time a Com. mittee- Man. And if this fellow thinks the Shareholders are so blind as not to see that my determined opposition to his Manager, ship was the direct provocative to his lying malevolence— he takes those for fools who are not so. and assumes my errors instead of his own black heartedness as the cause of his unprincipled hostility. " Yon say he his spent bis time against bis in- terest, wonderful!', from whence then came gold rings, yea, rings upon rings, and all the other fair adnruings of his person, his house, aud retinue, piano forte, and bread cart a la tandem, though the last may uot he paid for ; but then the mulls, the silks, the furs, the wiues, the daiuly meals well spread out, but eh. in head, it fails me to enumerate, or space denies, or I would tell a long and endless tale, whence came the means ; ask the poor Shareholders, they will say we stinted ourselves of necessaries, but for what ? not to have our little all squandered in ex. travagaj. ee by James." 1 he gold ring I wear and the silver box I use weie both mine long ' ere the Association was thought of. As to '- the other fair adorn- ings, & c " I should be much obliged if the liar would show them me.

The Sunday bottle of wine and dainty meals well spread out, composed as has often been the case of game presented me by my frit- nds no ona has tm. re frequently partaken of than this same Alfred Phillips. I now thank hirrt for his courtesy. The latter part of the paragraph is a disgracefully obvious attempt to excite the prejudice of the poorer Share- holders against me by the ei deavor to lead them to the conclusion that I am dishonestly extravagant. Let the scound el first shew that I am indebted to the Association and then he mav, if he will, go into the question of my family disbursements— but not until then. I know the value of mv motto; and, I know too, that it will have no value when I cease to act'up to the pledge I have given by its adoption. I thank God I can lay my hand on my heart and sav, that I have done so— nor do I doubt the support of the Shareholders so long as 1 deserve it. With regard to the dental of my claim ior .£ 25 balance due from the old C< mmittee in Ihe present uncertainty of the state of the accounts which it has taken the faction of knaves froth three to four months to arrange, I shall for the present merely subjoin the following docu- ments. observing that the parties are ready at any time to swear to their accuracy :— I hereby positively declate, that Mr. John Alloway, one ofthe original Committee, did, on Friday, the 13th ult. address the following words to Mr. Acland in my presence, ' I know that we owe you from £ 20 to <£ 30"— and I further declare, that he, Mr. Alloway, afterwards assured me, in the course of the same day, that such was the case— let him deny it if he can; to my face I am sure he will not. J. B. MAY. I do positively assert that Mr. Jno.
