OUR REPRESENTATIVE SYSTEM NIAIDSTONE.—(Coecne DED.) The Alforning Post is, par excelletce, the journal of Park-lane. Stanhope-street pays defer?' c e to it ; Grosvenor-gate Ihisve down beeline it. When Mr. Disraeli was a young man he was accustomed to send his coatributiors to "violent" rewepapers; Runneyasede's lucubration appeared in the Times, but when Mr. Disraeli married and became established in Perk-lane, he emit his letters to the Morning Post, and the Morning Poet inserted them. One morning, soon after the Maidstone election committee of 1898 had arrived at their decision, the clerk of Charles Austin, Esq., Q.C., one of the leading counsel for the pretioners in that case, placed upon his table in Plowden-buildings, Temple, a damp copy of the Morning Post, containing a letter to the editor from Mr. Disraeli. The letter complained of Mr. Austin. It sett forth that Mr. Austin had stated in opening the case that Mr. Disraeli had entered into pecuniary promises with the Maidstone electors which be bad left unfulfilled. Mr. Disraeli said coolly that this was " utterly false." I myself (mid be never either directly or indirectly eahwee into any pecuniary ergasemets, or made any nesaiary prawns to the electors of Maidstone. and then kw I cannot have broken any or left my unfulfilled. The whole expresso of the contest were defrayed by my lamented Gillespie (Mr. Wyndham Lewis), end I discharged to him my moiety. ER panne wo may . remark that Ode word " moiety • is on copious significance. Lexicographi cally, it means one half; according to ordinary accep tation, it means any proportion you please. How Mr. Disraeli employed it wee never explained; nor is it of much consequence. The dispute which followed turned on a very different point—namely, upon the following striking and very elaborately penned pongee : I am informed (so writes the author of Tsnared)—l am inonted that it is quite nwlAs and even unnameable in me to expect from Mr. Austin any satisfaction kr these Mi deast calumnies, leso.suse Mr. Austin is a amber of an kososrable profession, the first principle of whose practice appears to be that they may my &erten, provided they be paid fur it. The privilege of inculoneir falsehoods with impunity is deliberately described as "doing your duty towards your climate," which appears to be a very different process from doing year duty towards your oeighbour. Thb may be the SSW of Mr. Austin's profesei.n, and It may be the custom of society to submit to its practice; but, for my part, it appears to me to be nothing better than a dogmatize aid intolerable tyraaay, and I Lr one shall not how to it la silence. I therefore (continued the hon. member) I therekes re peat that the statement of Mr. Austin is fine, and inasmuch as he sever attempted to substantiate it, I conclude that it was on his site but the blustering ardfite of a rhetorical hireling swelling Menlo( the vile license of a loose-tongend lawyer, not only to make a eta ment which was false, but to make it with the consciousness of falsehood. "Ode! balls and barrels!" what a letter. The editor of the Morning Post, conscious of its bloody-minded characteristics, would have printed it in red ink had his machinery permitted. Everybody, of course, sup posed that Wormwocd Scrubs would have been re. dyed upon this occasion. Bat the scene of battle was ,sinned—by certiorari, possibly, as issue certainly nee net joined. The new scene of action suss the Cent sr Queen's Bench, in which Mr. Austin ob tained a no calling on Mr. Disraeli to show cause wby a eriminel information should not issue against him for a It.hel. The learned Queen's counsel treated the cas e after a fashion widely different from that probably which the member for Maid stone had expected. Ile took it up, not as a personal matter, .but as an injury, an offence against the bar. The Attorney- General appeared es his coas ta l; Sir Frederick Pollock and Sir William Follett were " with him." The letter was admitted. What, then, could be Mr. Dievaeli's defence? He bad none either in law or in fact ; and in the month of Novembar following, the rule h evieg been made abso lute, and judgment having been suffered to pies *pint him by default, the measlier for Maidstone was brought up to receive the judgment of the court. On this memorable occasion Mr. Disraeli made a long speech. Its length was its pri.scipal feature. It was a speech ill-adapted for a court edjuetice. It fell dead upon the ears of the judge, who tried in vain to catch a glimpse of its meaning, and " take a note," as' they call it, of its points. "An abs elute apology,' Mr. Disraeli said, " he would not makes ; but he re gretted what he had done, and felt great mortifica tion at it." He had so opinion with regard to the bar but that which was entertained by every wan of seam and knowledge. Be considered it, to nee the words of a great writer oae of the illustrious ribs et the body politic. ite did no t forget that from the bar had arisen some of oar most eminent states men. But, on the ether head, be could act but think that the bar was Untie to exhibit amenn its mambo* a taint of that redeem spirit whin always aecompaniod ireesponsible Lower - and if was mews In that belief, at last he found wlllerof his emenseres *min in the writings of one a best mongol the most eminent members of the bar. And thee be sated Lord Brougham, to prove that the bar ' even integrity and honour to the interest of their client'. cause! But Mr. Disraeli proceeded : As respected his offence against the law s he meld do no ling but supplicate for mercy; sa to the iadividual betted off, nded, be offered him the meet wept& apology. Hs re ted the insult : he deplored the. language. And, 'sally, he ctncluded by destining that. he bad meant no personal reflection en an iadividual al ATII be did net know, ht whom, he said, he understood to t• a man of honour, of integrity, and learning. This would all have been very 1 sumilisting, but that there was an apology required liy the circumstances; and no man can suffer humiliation in freely making retribution for a wrong. The Attorney-General, Sir Frederick Pollock, and Sir W. Follett, declared their opinion that the apology was most complete and eatisfazto; y; and said thr.t 1 the court was sat isfled, Mr. Austin was satisfied . The court did not '.ay that it was satisfied, but said that *, it was more satisfac tory to the court that the matter should terminate in reparation and apols ca gy than in judgment. As the prayer for judgi rat was withdmvr.i, there the matter ended. Such was one . the extraordinary legal proceed ings whlch arose out of the Maidstone committee. It was not the eel• one. At a mblequent Kent aldose, an action wit , tried in which !elr. Coppoek was the Plaintiff , and a Mr. Bower the dolma ant, and iv' .rich was brought to recover the anon of a note of hand for 6001. given by defendant to plaintiff i• a liquidation of the costs of the petition against) Ir. Fector's return. The defence was that It was one of the conditions on which the note of hand yea Ili rea that in the event of Mr. Fector offering him if again, no other candidate should receive the 12 [ 1 Pf sort of the liberal electors, and that no petition 1 27 ,old be presented against him. This condi ° an, it was said, had been grossly violated. Mr. Joppock however, alleged that he had been no party to the proceedings which constituted the alleged violation, and therefore the cise went to trial, and the jury found a verdict for the defendant. Thus, those election ue irroossdings resulted in a common loss to all eon At the ensuing general election of 1841, there was an entire change in the representation of Maidstone. Mr. Disraeli, without publicly assigning any reasons, deserted his Brit love and offered himself for Shrews- leery. Up to this hour it has never been satisfactorily explaked in Maidstone why this gentleman resigned. Looking at the tremendous pother that was made about lir. Artin's speech, it is no joke to hint that monetary conditions had anything to do with the re signing,. As faithful chroniclers, however, we are hound to state that in Maidstone at the present time, it is alleged that all the incidentals of the contest of 1837 were not paid, and that that was among the circumstances that probably induced Hr. Disraeli's wi'hdrawal from the representation. They may not have been debts of his own that were owing, bat there certainly were sums claimed in re gard to the coated—rums which Mr. Lewis would sot pay, and, as is believed, which he was fully justi fied in resisting. In 1841 Mr. Fector had just married. He, too, appeared to have had enough of Maidstone, and at his "domestic arrangements" would, he es* "interfere with the proper discharge of his parliamen tary duties," he, too, begged permission to withdraw. Through the instrumentality of this gentleman, a Mr. Dodd, of Brunswick-square, was sent down by the Oarltea. At the same time Mr. A. B. Hope, another enservative, was introduced through the family of ilesount Bereeford. Up to a very late period of the widest these two gentlemen were unopeeceed. The liberals could not agree on the proper soul's to take. Some were for starting a candidate on parity principles—others desired to let the election go—whilst a third At Mr. for winning seder all circumstances. At Mr. David Salo mon was announced to boa Z,Ndate. This gondo las= cams forward under cercumstances which gave kiss a claim on the consideration of the elestare. Ho was a neighbour, being resident on an citations Toobridp Wells, when hs is Mid pinouslly poli•ically in very high consideration. He bad just served the office c f hit h sheriff of the county, which bad brought him into immediate commueication with the Maidevone people ; and he bad been known to take pecular interest in the bop cultivation, in which the residents of this locality are In peculiarly interested. Had Mr. Salomon, been brought forward at an early period, it is not improbable that be might have suc ceeded ; but he came too late in the field. As it was, be polled nearly 450 votes, Lot one of which was pur ebred. Mr. Selomons proved him.. If a very excellent can diclate,and obtained a high degree of popularity is Ma id st ere. One an. cdote is told of him that is worth per petuating. At the nomination some one, with far more bigotry atd ignorance, than wit or humour, caused to be displayed a boar d on which was psi nte d tl e figure of a Jew riding on a pig. " Aft," said Mr. Salo mon., tarning to the Tory agen's "that is remarkably good ; I should htve recognised the resemblance to Disraeli anywhere." Is it necessary to add that the ii.acard was withdrawn ? In 1847 Mr. Hope and Mr. Dodd both took the field again. Mr. Sslomons was also invited to come forward, and bred an address in which he offered himself as a candidate. When the liberal electors met, however, the old son of " the Coppock debt" was re-opened. One or two of the principal sufferers expressed an opinion that the candidate they sup ported ought to pay this liability. Their views were made known to Mr. Selomone. Ten years had elapwd since the debt was incurred : he had been, neither directly nor indirectly, concerned in its contraction, and he consequently at once, and we think most rea sonably and properly, refused to recognise it. The s tme reasons that induced Mr. Salomons to with draw deterred others from coming forward, sod the consequence wee that, for the first time for up wards of a century, the election for Maidstone was uncontested. - - With inch a state of Pings it might have been hoped that corruntion would have ceased. Not ro. Two months after the election every elector believed to be " conservative," received, by post, in an enve lope, a bank note of the value of 51. At the succeed ing Christmas the same parties received a gratuity of 11. Tke intention with which this offering was trans mitted is thoroughly understood, and the receipt of the money is so little a secret that on one occasion it was proved at a trial in the Maidstone county court. It seems a work of supererogation to sum up the case against this borough. It is evidently subject to a meet atrocious electio-eering system; a system, too, by which, hitherto, neither whigs nor tories have been in any way the pinery. The Maidstone con tests between 1747 and 1847 cost upwards of 1.50,0001. ; and, despite this immense expenditure, the two factions have, as nearly as possible, enjoyed an equal share of the representation. The cure for Maidstone is universally said to be the ballot. If the ballot is not adopted, it would be better for the constituency and the nation that the town should be disfranchised—an extreme measure, to which, we believe, se things at present stand, the in tegrity of the borough would by no means be opposed. IRELAND. DUBLIN, JULY 4. Some of your readers are, perhspe, apt to think that they have heard enough of Irelead, bat. before the autumn is poet, they are likely to hear more of it from sundry authors. 51r. Thomas Carlyle wee ex pected in Dublin last evening, and is about to make a tour of some weeks is the south and west. Messrs. Douglas Jerrold and Charles Knight are also making a toar through the south. The flambe' sin the workhouses are still very large, i and nothing can more plainly show the misery of our population than the fact of their still crowding to the houses where so much cnn tagion exists. The Bandon union, in Cork, has 3, 681 in Its poor-houses ; the Fermoy union, 4,441; the Tralco union, 3,030; these houses are situate in parts of the country which have suffered much lees than other districts. In some of these houses irdastrial employment in making clothes of various kinds is given. It appears that an average of fourteen pence and a fraction is the coat of a pauper in the work houses. The allelic, of the Clasher union, in Tippe rary, give a very clear view of the way in which the poor law works. The union is not a very populous one. It has upwards of 1,500 in-door paupers, and there are 9,598 receiving out-door relief. The cost for provisioning the workhouse Ter a week is 93L, averaging for each pauper Is. 2d. a week. For the 9,588 out-door paupers the cost is 1971. weekly. The uncollected rates in the union amount to between 6,0001. and 7,0001. The news from the country ap to last night con tinues Robe cheering. In all directions the Grope are looking well. On Sunday list we had a heavy shower of rain, and yesterday evening we had an abundant fall, which did no damage, as in some parts of the country it was much wanted. The last halt of this month is the critical time, and, as we are approaching it, anxiety about the harvest becomes more intense. There is, however, a strong confidence felt that the season will be favourable. SCOTLAND.

THE NORTH STAFFORDSHIRE RAIL WAY COMPANY.—Powna OP A COMPANY TO TARE LAND UNDER THE COMPULSORY CLAUSES WHERE THE PUR CHASE 18 NOT COMPLETED WITHIN THE TIME ALLOWED BY VII ACT. This was a motion for en injunction to restrain the North Staffordshire Railway Company from taking possession of certain lands belonging to the plaintiff near Newcastle, and from issuing a warrant to summon a jury to ascertain the value, and from doing any other act for the purpose of taking possession of the land under the compulsory powers contained in their act. It appeared that by the act of par ' Bement 10 & 11 Vie., o. 108, the company were empowered SO exercise the compulsory powers to take lands for the term of three years from the passing of the act, but it was pro vided that after the expiration of that time such powers should not be exercised. The act passed on the 2Gth of June, 1846, and the company being desirous of taking a portion of the pfrigtiff 'a land had en tered into negotiations with him for that purpose, end bad offered him 3,0001. ; this offer having been rejected, an application was made in the usual way before two justices, and the sum of 2,2901. was fixed as the value, which sum was paid into court by the company, and the cue tomary bond was entered into b 7 them. No lurther step wan taken previously to the expiration of three years from the passing of the act, and the question now raised was, whether the company could proceed to summon a jury, for the purpose of Messing the value of the land, or whether, the purchase not having been completed within three years from the passing of the act, the company were to be pee reeled from exercising their compulsory powers. Mr. Roll and Mr. Amphtet appeared in support of the steam Mr. Matins and Mr. Bovill for the company con tended that the proceedings already taken by them were sateleient to bring the case within the meaning of the act, end that it was not necessary that the purchase should be seas feted before the expiration of the three years. The Vice-Chancellor said he thought if the purchase wee in such a position that it could not be completed, then the eionapany could not make a title to the possession. The net provided that the company should not be at liberty to take possession under their compulsory powers after the expira time of three years from the passing of the act. And if the eiremeasteness were such that the company had allowed the three years to ellipse without taking the final step to ascer tain what ought to be paid for the land, he thought there was a very grave question whether the whole thing was not at an end. It was very evident that the company had not acquired that eon of possession the cessation of which would inflict any injury upon the company. He thought, under these circumstances, that the cue ought to be sent for the opinion of a wart of law; and the question would be, whether the company were now authorised to summon a jury for the purpose of determining what ought to be the price of the land. JULY 3. BEFORE VICTXPIANCILLOIL KNIMIT Barr.. Ex PARTE SAMUEL, ME LLOYD—SAVINGS' BANK. Mr. Bacon and Mr. Bromley . supported the petition, which was that of the trustees of a friendly society at Wrexham, called the Union Friendly Society, praying payment in full of 5,1521. 18s. 4d., being the amount whicu they claimed to be due to them from the bankrupt, in his character of trea surer of the society. The bankrupt was a banker at Wrex ham, and had been appointed treasurer of the society, but it was stated by the affidavits in opposition to the petition that no money remained in his hands as treasurer, and that the amount due was dep wited with him as tho banker of the soci ety, interest at 4 per cent. per annum being allowed upon the deposits, and there being an understanding that the society were net to withdraw the deposits on less than six months' notice. It was further stated that the bankrupt was never Nerved with any formal notice of big having bun appointed treasurer, nor had discharged any of the duties devolving upon that officer according to the rules of the society. The affidavits in support of the petition however s wed that on the occasion of the annual dinner of the society, the bankrupt's health had been proposed es treasurer and that he returned thanks for the tent. In support of the petition ex parte Riddell (3, Montero, Deacon, and Da Oex, 80) was cited. Mr. Russell and Mr. J. V. Prier for the assignees, cited Rs Stamford Friendly Society (15 Yoe), 280), and ex paste Harris a De Ocx, 162). The Vice Chancellor said that the sum claimed was so large, and the points involved, of so much importance, that it seemed very desirable to have the assistance of a court of law, in deciding upon them. His Honour thought the legis lature could not have intended that the clause entitling friendly societies to payment in full should extend to a de nand of such a character or amount as the present. The case stood over to be spoken to again as to the term of ac tion to bs brought to try the question. It lb PREROGATIVE COURT.-JULY 3. 13111'011 811 Rwu .1111/111 Ft ST. HIS SERENE HIOMNESS HESSE OP HOMBURG, DECEASED. Dr. Dean said the deceased in this case died intestate, leaving • brother and two daughters ; that by the law of the dukedom, the brother of the deceased is not only successor to the kingdom, but also to his real and personal property. The only property left by his Highness in this country was three dividends upon stock standing in the name of the late duchess's executors. He (Dr. Dean) saked the court to grant administration to the present landgrave as the brother of the deceased. The Court observed that, the law being in favour of this application, it would decree administration to the present Landgrave of Hesse of Homburg, aid at the same time ordered an office copy to be delivered, &c. THE STANFIELD-HALL MURDER. Dr. Addams said the testatrix in this cue was the mother of the late James Blomfield Rush, who had made himself notorious by being an actor in the murders at Stanfield Hall, Norfolk. The testatrix made a will in 1844, and died in 1848. Rush proved this will, and also a codicil, purporting to be that of the testatrix. The will bequeathed' her property to the children, nine in number, but the codi. l cil gave it to Rush, and made him sole executor. The inroad advocate said he applied to the court to set aside' the probate granted to the codicil, it being a forgery, and not the writing of the testatrix, the application being made by Mr. John Souses, who was guardian of the children, on the affidavit of Emily Sandford, and who was a subscribing wit ness to it. The affilavit stated that it was written after the death of the testatrix, by direction of Rush, and attested by them both. He (Dr. Addams) felt the position the court was plated in, to be called upon t o revoke a former act upon the evident* of such a person as Emily Sand"ord ; but he hoped the court would take into its consideration the situation of the younger children, and that the party making the affidavit could harem() interest in asserting an untruth The Court thought it could not act without some. further evidence to prove the signature was a forgery. The only authority the court had to revoke an act already done was the evidence of one who was portieeps criminis. It must, therefore, direct the motion to stand over until it bad some CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. NEW COURT.—YE , TERDAY. SEPONS vie CONSIGN tic larAxr. FORGERY AND SWINDLING. Jomph J o hnson Coherd, aged 21; an instrument maker, and William Hall Brown, aged 33, a hairdresser, were in dicted for forging and uttering a promissory note for 2281. They were likewise indicted for steeling a quantity of boots and shoes, valued at 1001,, the property of R. Dymond,— Culvert' with the felony, and Brown with aidin g . him in the nnlision of the offence. Brown was also indicted for stealing a catk and other articles,, the property of Barry Robson, and Colverd with stealing furs, valued at 301. There MSS also another &large of forgery. The substance of the charges, only one of which wu gone into, was this : the elder prisoner, who is known to the police under a variety of aliases, famed one of the well-known wigesu gang, who, for yean past, have committed depreda tions on the various tradesmen of the metropolis b, obtaining houses and shops, and by giving one another reference' ob tained goods, which were no sooner sent in than the parties decamped te ' s remote part of the town. In the present in stance the two prisoners, under the surnames of Hall and Johnson, took a shop in Dzcember last in Croat-street, Is lington, and then went to the factory of Messrs. Dymond, Regent-street, St. Luke's, and ordered a quantity of shoes and rata percha, amounted nearly to 601 , ter which two bills, accepted and endorsed in their assumed names, were given, upon which other goods were sent in, and a few days after they had been so delivered the shop was shut and the pulite were gone.
