The most joshes care has been taken to conceal from the C o lic what goes on in this region. Bat have nevertheless transpired which show that the compsey's rile hes bees u fatal to the inhabitants as it has been obstructive to Hag fish connneros. Their sole &s pots have been to keep the murchsedise they seed thither at high monopoly prices, and to prevent the Indians from beaming ogriealturiets honed of hunters. Unchecked by any e l d opinion, or by any eflisient antral onr a psz a torth. lie directors, the great body of their agents have Waged in a wanton exercise of arbi trary power over the Indiums, and in habits of the grossest negativismse with regard to the interooaree at the sexes.

A show settle. most will sully be made. The legality of the grant may fairly be questioned. It is tree that an opinion of the law snows of the crown was submitted to the Colonial Secretary before the grant we. made; bat the tenor sad terms of that opinion lave been kept sewn, and the meanie in which it was obtained is sespielons. On the other hand, it may fairly be argued that over sines a fixed civil list was granted to the crown in lien of its land revenues, it is not in the power of the crown, or its ministers, to confer grants of crown Leda either upon companies or individuals without the moor rose and sanction of parliament. Certain it is that the charters of New Beath Wales, South Australia, and New Zealand, all rest upon acts of parliament. The New Pulsed company obtained its lands in consideration of the moneys it bad expended for colonising purposes. In these circumstances we hold that we an warranted in maintaining that the free grant of Vancouver's Island to the Hudson's Bay Company by the crown, having been made without the concur nue and s anction of parliament, is invalid.

Mr. Wm. Meese examined by Sir F. Titesigsr—l am a ablpewasr at Plymouth. In 1845 I had a son named Henry. I wished to obtain a cadetship for him. I wrote to Mr. Leven on the subject. In censequenar of a letter heat him I came to town in April 1845. I saw Mr. Lavers, who took me to No. 6, Foley-plaos, where I saw Mrs. Linley. Mr. Lavers told Mrs. Linley that I wanted the appointment of a cadetship for my son. Mrs. Linley said she knew a gentlemen whom I could see the next day, and else that his name was Mr. Kendall, and that he could get the ap pointment through a high lady. I went on the followlng day to Mrs. Lialey, but Mr. Lavers did not go with me. I found Mr. Kendall at Mrs. Linley's. Mrs. Lialey dneed me to Mr. Kendall, and said I was the person ales had spoken to him about as wanting a cadetship for his ton. Mr. Kendall, I understood, was In the INCINie• of the high lady, hut her name was not mentioned. It WAS 11011144 that she was cousin to the Queen. . Kr. Kendall told me unless I deposited I,OOW. he would not move any farther in the matter. I declined that day to deposit the 1,0001., but made an appointment to meet Mr. Kendall at hie', Linley 's on the next day. On the following day I went to M. Lieley's where I saw both her and Mr Ken dal. The latter sai d the high lady would not interfere in the =otter without I deposited the 1,0001. I wanted to know what security I was to have if I did deposit it. I Fo rted to give Kendall half of the note', and keep half myself. That was agreed upon, and I took a cab and went to L bock's bank, where I received two 6001. notes upon my cheque. I returned with the two 6001. rotes. Mrs. Linsey divided them with& pair of scissors, and I kept half of the notes, and half Mrs. Linley put in her pecked. I was to sae the high lady who was to give my son the appoint ment the nett day. That evening I told Mr. Layers I had paid the money, and, in consequence of what he said, I desired him to go to the bank and stop payment of the notes. I west to Mr. Lint, y's on the day appointed, for the pur pose of seeing the high lady, and, after waiting an hour and .4 hilt in the drawing-room, a carriage drove up, out of which got Mr. Kendall and a lady whom I did not then know, but wbo I was told was Mrs. Binkes. Mrs. Linley intrOduced me to Mrs. Makes, who said she was 00111111 to the Queen ; that Lord Ooderich bad called on her the day before, and that through Lord Ripon she would get my son the appointment. She also said that Lord Ripon's family were under great obligaticas to her, and no doubt they would repay it by giving her the appoint ment. She told me it was necessary that she should see my son, who, on my writing to him, game is town. On ha arrival in town I took him to Mrs. Lialey's, where, after waiting an hour, Mrs. Mikes came wi h Mr. Kendall. I introduced my sou to her. She said she approved of his appearance, and would take him to Lord Ripon. My son was to call at Mrs. Blokes' house, at St. John's Wood, to go to Lord Ripen : my son did go with her to see his k rdship. I did not go J have seen Mrs Birdie several timer on this matter, and have dood with her at her house et St. John's wood. Atter my son came to town I went back to Plymouth and write several tiniest° Mrs. Binkes about the cadetship. I wrote also to Mrs. Betakes, and addressed the letter to Wilton lodge, St. John's-wood, about recovering my notes. I re ceived en answer from her, in consequence of which T came to London end saw her. This was in August 1845. She had then removed from Wilton-it dge to Circus road, St. John's-wood, When I called on Mrs. Kinks she introduced me to her solicitor, Mr. Bickley. I said that finding the ape pointment was not forthcoming I wished to have my notes stack. She said that eke had great difficulty in getting back the half notes, and had had to borrow 1001. from her " godpapa " in order to recover them. Mr. Hinkley confirmed her statement, and took out the half notes and gays them to me. I had the other halves in my pocket. I put the two halves together. I went to the Bank of England to revoke the stoppage. (The stop book was here produced, and the order fur revoking the stoppage read.) I took the notes to Sir J. Luldrock' ,s and paid them in to my account. I went then to Mr. Bick ley, at Barge yard, Butklersbury, who said that, as Mrs. Hinkel had had great trouble an getting back the half notes, she ought not to less 1001. I then went to Sir John Lubbock's, drew a cheque for 1004 and I took it to Mr. Bickley, and told him to give the 1001. to Mrs. Binkes. I then gave up ell idea of getting a cadet ship for my son, and placed him in a stockbroker's offioe in London. I then went hack to Plymouth. Shortly after this I received a letter from Mrs. Blokes. (A letter from Mrs. Binkes to the witness containing the appointment to a ca detship was then put in and read. The letter stated the cadetedip had been given by Lady Ripon.) I immediately Game up to town and saw my eon. I went with him to Mrs. Makes. She wee living at the Circusroad. I took with me Mrs. Binkes's letter. I told Mrs. Blokes my a. n still wished to have the cadetship. This was on the 81st of August, 1845. My son went to the East India House to have the papers Soled up, and I got the n , emery documents ftom Plymouth. This is my rin's hand-writing. (The papers were then put in and read.) Shortly alter this I called on Mr ;Bickley , ' this office, Barge-yard, Bucklenbury. I found Mr. Kendall there, and he said he wanted money. He came to me to my lodgings, Arundel-atree‘ Strand. He said he had railway shares, and he wanted money. I objected to give hint it until the appointment had been obtained. I went afterwards to Mr. Bickley's with Mr. Kendall; the latter said he wanted 3001. to pay up some railway shares. I objected to pay 1,0001., or any part, until the appointment was securely got. On this occssion Mr. Bickley said he was Mr. Kendall's attorney. Thu necessary forms were sent from Plymouth, and my son took them to the East India House. After that I saw Mr. Kendall and Mr. Bickley at Bargelard,:l3u.klersbury. As soon as my eon told me he had patted the committee of the East India the same day I went to Mr. Bickley's and drew the cheque now produced upon Sir J. Lubbock for 6001. I paid to Mr. Beckley on that occasion either 4001. or 4501. I also drew another cheque in September ler 4601.; and when I was in tswn I paid Mx. Bickley in ail 800/. or 8501., for which I received this memo ; random. I saw Mr. Bickley write the receipt of 8001. " to wards the loan," uit wu called. I lent no money to Mr. Bickley, Mr. Kendall, or Mrs. Blokes. There wss no other transaction but this. I returned then to Plymouth, after which I sent 501. to Mrs. Linley, for which I received a letter acknowledging the receipt. This ie the biter now ptoduced. (The letter from Mrs. Linley to Mrs. Moore ' ao knowledging the receipt of the 501., was here put in and read. In It she offered to get Mr. Moore's second son the appointment of an assistant-surgeon in India.) I subse quently Nat a cheque to Mr. Beckley upon Sir John Lub bock for 1601. I received a letter from him acknowledging the receept of it, dated Nov. 1, 1845. The expression " one and-a-hall " in the letter, refers to the 1601. The letters received by the witness from Mn. Binkes, and alluded to in the opening speech of the Attorney General, were here put in and read. A letter, dated Aug. lb, 11146, from Mn. Binkes to the witness, was then read. In it she stated that Lord Gough's nephew, who was one of his aide-do. camp., had retired, and no doubt she could get Mr. Moon's son promoted to the appointment. I came up to town on receipt of that letter, and I saw Mn. Blokes, but I did not reside at her house, although in the letter she asked me to do so. I went to the house of one of my sons. Mrs. Makes said that the nephew of Lord Geugh was his aide-de camp, and that he would resign that position and go into the line , and it 1,0001. were paid him by me my son could have his appointment. Mr. &Tit. Wilkins here objected to any evidence being given respecting the transaction, and after some discussion it was agreed that It should be withdrawn.—(Other letters letters from Mn. Broke' to Mr. Moore, dated in Nov.. 1846, were then put in and read. In them she said that she bad been examined at the India House ; that there was nothing far Mr. Moore to fear, as the director. were satisfied with her answers, and had thanked her for the manner in which she had given her evidence.) Examination of Mr. Moore continued—My son went to India, where he died. - _ __ Crom-examined by Mr. Cockburn—l was one of the par ties originally included In the indictment. I pleaded not guilty, and afterwards upon the advice of Mr. Bower, my solicitor, I pleaded guilty. I had no mind in the matte;. I put myself In my lawyer's hands twelve months ago. He is my legal mind and keeper of my conscience. It was since I came to London that I heard I was to be a witness. It was not in consequence of any communication from the India- Ihouse that I pleaded guilty. Per all that I know to the contrary, I may be brought up for judgment. I expect to suffer for what I have done, as I have received no promise to the contrary. (A paper was shown to the witness, in which be decisred he had not, nor would not, pay money for the appointment.) I signed that paper. I knew that I had given money for the appointment when I signed it; sad I know half the officers in the Ent India Company pay for their commissions. I think it a very curious Act of Parliament by which you may buy in the Line and not in the Bug India service. I never h..d any conversation with Mrs. Binkee about money. I came to town on the 31st of August. My son went on the next day to the India-house, and it was at Mr. Bicklere office I was told that the 1,000!. was to be paid. On the 20th Sept. my eon got the appointment, and I commenced paying the money. Mr. Kendall did ask for the money as a loin. I never heard of a loan until Mr. Biekley's note came. I did not, when the gut 4501. was advanced, insist upon having a promissory note. [A promissory note signed by the witness was here handed te him.] I have never seen this before. This is my handwriting on the back of it. I must have seen it before. I see it is a note made by Kendall to pay me a certain sum of money in ell weeks. I left the note with Mr. Bickley. I never lent Kendall any money to be hid our ln buying shares in the Chelmsford and Bury Railway. Cross surmised by Mr. Seljuk!
