MR. DISRAELI AND MR. CARDWELL ON CHURCH MATTERS. OXFORD, FRIDAY. A meeting of the Ain:elation for Augmenting Poor Benefices is the Dienes of Oxford wu held this after soon is the Sheldonian Theatre, the Bishop of OXFORD in the chair. The attendance, which wu very large, included the Right Hon. E. Cardwell, M.P., the Right Hon. B. Disossii, ALP., Mr. Walter, 11. P., Mr. Hubbard, M.P., Ocakeel North, )1.P., Mr. Beresford Hope, the Vice-Chan cellor and several other leading members of the university. The Right Rev. CHAIRMAN, in opening the proceedings, end that the object of the society was to move the diocese, end the friends of the church generally, to mist in amend ing the small endowments in the diocese. His lordship entered into a variety of statistics for the purpose of slow- Jag that, even if all the livings were lumped together, and then divided, they would not produce more than 2701. siege each. It could not be expected that a clergyman of the church of England, educated as • gentleman, with gentlemanly feelings, could maintain his position, educate his family, and perform the functions appertaining to his office, with the small amount which he received for hie labours, and he trusted that such an effort would now be made as would place him in a much better position. (Chien.) Mr. Wstrea, M.P., moved the first resolution —" That t►e very small endowment of so many small livings through out the 000ntry is injurious to the beet interests of the church, and a reprcsch to the wealth and civilisstion of the arL" Mr. 11.Bsgyerr seconded the motion, which was adopted. Mr. DISRAELI, on rising, was greeted with enthusiasm by the undergraduates. He spoke for an hour and ten minutes. The interest of his audience heightened as he proceeded and emerged from the consideration of minor objects of the Diocesan Society, into the discussion of the great questions which are now agitating the minds of church men. The measures Mr. Disraeli suggests for the mart- Von of the nationality of the church are-1. The =into mace of the present position of the church in reference to the education of the people. 2. A temperate and moderate extension of the episcopate. 3. The co-operation of the laity in all ecclesiastical matters not strictly of • spiritual character. 4. A more practical assertion of the rights and duties of churchmen as they exist by law in our parochial constitution. 5. The support of diocesan institutions. & The formation of convocation on • broader Maim and with a fuller representation of the parochial clergy. 7. Rte improvement of the relations of the colonial church. & The formation of • new court of Sod appeal in spiritual matters. " It appears to me," said the right has. gentleman, speaking on the latter suggestion, "that the circumstances of the day imperatively demand this. I know the difficulty, I know the delicacy of the question. Still, after giving it that consideration which its importance deserves, lam ma to believe that difficulties may be overcome, and that the most delicate circumstances connected with it may be treated iii a happy manner. I do believe that, with that due and geometry full consideration of the principle of the royal supremacy, which I trust may never be lost sight of for an instant, it is possible to reconcile the requirements of the state with the conscience of the church. (Cheers.) Now, allow me to repeat what on • previous occasion, setae years ago, I had the honour of mentioning to you, that the object of this messure is to restore the church to its inatural and, I may my, original efficiency, by mesas which I think are essentially practical, and which inn i n tone and i n h a r mon y w ith the spirit of the age in which we live, and I cued but believe that. with cordial co-operation—or rather, I would my 1 could not but believe that with cordial • among churchmen—them eight measures might carried. My lord, they form a church policy perfectly complete, perfectly practical, and perfectly efficient. I see no argument that can fairly be urged against them, and it appears to me that if these eight objects were attained the church in this gauntry would occupy a position of peat influence and salutary power, which it has not for a hog period ful find and occupied." (Cheers.) Mr. Dana then proceeded to common upon the broad church party. He said :—Now this party is not founded upon the principle of authority— es which all church parties hitherto in this country, and in all countries to some degree, have been founded. Bat it is founded upon a very angular principle. It is founded upon the principle of criticism. Now, doubt is an element of criticism, and the tendency of criticism is neossearily sceptical. I use the epithet is • philosophical, and not in a popular or odious mom. It is quite possible, for example, that • party which is founded upon the principle of criticism may arrive at scnclnsions which may be monstrous. They may, for example, reject inspiration as • principle, and miracles as a practice. That is possible. Aod I think it is quite logical Mat, having arrived at that conclusion, they should repu. aide creeds and reject articles of faith, because creeds and articles of faith cannot exist or be sustained without as. knowledgiog the mincipte of inspiration and the practice of miracles. (liear.) All that I admit ; bat what Ido not endentand, and what I wish to draw the attention of this assembly and of the country to is this, that, having ar rived at this oiste/usioa—baying arrived conscientiously sa the conclusios that with these opinions such a party most repudiate creeds sod reject articles, that they should sot carry their principles to their legitimate wa ded." but that, repudiating creeds and rejecting mild they are still the sworn supporters of the ecele sistial establishments—(loud cbeers)—ferveot upholders et the dignitaries of the church—aeon of the rectors, vista and curates. (Laughter.) Now this is a matter of most serious importance, not merely for us to louder se churchmen, but for the country generally to con sider, whatever may be its opinions on forms of faith— for the position may be very critical. If it were true, as lam told it is, that the age of faith has pates& then the position of laving • hierarchy, • vast haraschy, apparently supported by men of Inglt cultivation, bril lied talents and eloquence, and perhaps some ambition, with no distinctive opinions, might be a very harmless gate of affairs, and it would not certainly be • very per manent one. But thee, my lord, instead of believing that Ys age of faith lea passed, when I observe what is passing monad me--what is laicise place in this eountzy, and not only in this country bat in other countries and hemispheres —instead of believing that the age of faith has passed, I hold that the characteristic of the present age is a craving credulity. (Laughter.) Why, my lord, man is a being born to believe. (Cheers.) Aod if you do not come forward—if no church comes forward with its tale deeds of truth, sustained by the tradition of maid ages, and by the conviction of countless geserations to guide him, he will form altars and idols in his own heart and his own imagination. (Cheers.) But observe this. What meat be the relations of • ;ovoid church, without dis tractive creeds, with a being of that nature? Why, of nouns the great pram* of political economy will be observed. Whirs there is a great demand there will be a proportionate supply ; and commencing, as the sew school may, by reject. fag the principle of inspiration, it will end by every priest hong a prophet ; and beginning as they do by repudiating the practioe of miracles, before loam rest assured we shall he living in • flattering some of spiritual phantasmagoria. {Chem and laughter.) There are no Mesta, however ex travagant, and no practices however objectionable, which will not in time develop under such • state of affairs ; °M aims the most absurd, sail ceremonies the most revolting. " Qualia demote ..f.gyptus portents colat," perhaps to be followed by the incantation of Canidia and the Gory biuitian howl (Great cheering and laughter.) Bat consider the country is which all this may take place. Dangerous in all countries, it would be yet more dangerous in England. Our empire is now unrivalled for its extent; bat the base—the material bans—of that empire is by means equal to the colossal superstructure. It is not our iron shipa It is not our celebrated r te. It is not these ' things which have created, or inded really manage maim **. It is the character of the people. (Much applause.) And want to know where that famous character of the English pagile will be, if they are to be influenced and 'aided by a starch of iTOO3OOIIO talent and greet wealth and power without any dialectics creed. (Hair, bear.) You have in this country accumulated wealth that probably never has been equallee, end probably it will still increase. You have • luxury that will sours Jay probably rival even your wealth ; and the union of such circumstances with a church without a distinctive creed will lead, I believe, to a disrolutenees of mothers and of morals that lies been seldom equalled in the history of man, but which furoialies the tombs of empires. (Cheer.. here is another point in connexion with this subject which I cannot help noticing ou the present occasion. It is the common blunder—the common cry—that articles of faith and religious creeds are the arms of the clergy, sod are red to ttrauuise over the land. They are exactly the reveres. The precise creed and the strict article are the title deeds of the laity to the religion which has &goaded to them. (Hear, hear.) And whenever these questions have been brought before parliament I have always op posed alterations of creeds, articles., and subscriptions on this broad principle—that the security sad certainty which they furnish are the spacial privileges of the laity, sod that you cannot tell in what position the laity will be if that se curity is withdrawn. (Cheese.) I must apologise for having touched upon this subject; but it appease to me—l know It from my own experience —to be one vitally connected with the subject that has called us here to-day, because the opinions of the new schools are paralyeiag the efforts of many who ought to be our friends. Before I coaclude I cannot but ask myself this question. Will these opinions succeed ? Is there a posaibility of their swoons ? My conviction is that they ea fa. (Cheers.) I do perfect justice to the great Week the great know ledge, sod the considerable information which the sew party command ; but I believe they will fail—for two yea rns. In the first place, having examined all their writings, I believe without any theeption—whether they etheist of fascinating eloquenoe, diventhed learning, or plc taneque sensibility—(lat:lshtar) —I speak seriously what I feel—and that too thareased by one honoured in this aniversity, and whom to know is to admire and regard - or whether you bed them in the erode °occlusions of prelates who appear to me to hart coeuneeced their theological i 5.... bob..

Audios after they grasped the crimier— (l ond cheer rod laughter) — and who introduce to 'misty their obsolete dia ooveries with the startling wonder and the frank ingenuous ness of their ewe savages—(great laughter and cheers) —or whether I read the luciihratioos of sibilant professors— (laughter)—who appear in their style to have revived ohms —(loud cheers)- and who if they could only snowed in ob taining • perpetual study of their writings would go far to realise that eternal punishment to which they object— (cheers)—lastly, whether it be the proviucial a sad precipitate self -complacency which ilea and gil:r f e el M aa :n i allay or review—(cheers and laughter and • him)—l find that the common characteristic in all their writhes is this ; that their learning is always mooed-hand— Oases guff iseigh• ter, and slight hies's, followed by immense eleserisg)--I do not say that because I • is secood-band it may not be sound, or that knowledge hems. it is wooed-hand may not be true. But this Ido say, without any fear of denial from any man competent to give an opinion upon the sub jett—(laughter)—that there is something in original re search so invigorating to the intellect, end which Ito beams sad disciplines the human mind, that those who have esdergone that process arrive at their conditions with peat caution and with great circumspection ; but whoa a man of brilliant imagination baa to deal with a vast quan tity of facts which have been furnished by the labmis of others, he is tempted too often to generalise with • fatal [Jollity, and often arrives at conclusions which in time he net ssly repudiates, but often has to refute. (Cheers.) In the mend place, when I examine those who have been the Inesters of the new school in this learning ; men who undimbiedly have goes through the peu s s of original messiah, mid have not found their equals for and and erudite assiduity for many =im er r a. esholars of Germany—l find this in ate - 1717rars. Doing full justice to their qualities 1 find this Y their labours, that there is really nothing new. (Great laughter and cheers.) I will admit their great qualities ; as Haihraide they are equal to the great scholars of the eighteenth, end who flourished at the and of the seventeenth century. In their knowledge of the Semitic dialect they are infi nitely superior. In the new theory, or science of language as it is justly called, they have of course an advantage which the old scholars have not shared with them, imams its a *deuce that has ably been developed In elm own time. But this Ido say, that in all important conclusions, from the alleged materials of the Book of Genesis down to the formation of the canon, and in every important event, histrericed, literary, and spiritual, that occurred in that hog interval, they have been anticipated by the peg Hamm scholars who flourished is the eighteenth sad at the end of the seventeenth centuries. (Cheers.) 1 know it may be said, ad they have said it, that the suggestions of Astro* or the investigations of Father Simon were knows only to those who, like them, lived is their cella and their colleges, but this is a vulgar and delusive error. The die:o mens of those men, unrivalled for learning in the age in which they flourished, formed the wird and inspired the labours of the two greatest bodies of intellectual beings that have existed certainly does the Greek philosophers, and who were so to the schoolmen —the freethinkers of Eng land the philosophers of France. Therefore the cow elusions of those peat men—these groat scholars—mos placed before the public mind. All that inexorableall that imeieUen rhetoric, all that the most be wits could avail themselves of to popularise those views, were placed before the minds of the two leading nations of Europe—the people of England and the people of Frame. And they produced their effect. The greatest of revolu tions was, I will not say, occasioned by those opinions, but no one can deny that the promulgation of those opinions largely contributed to that groat revolution popularly celled the French revolution, which has not yet ended, and which is certainly the greeted event that ever happened in the history of emu. Only the fall of the Roman empire can be compared to it. Bat that was going oo for centuries, and so gradually QM it cannot for me moment be held to have powerfully or injurioasl influenced the opinica of the world. Now, what ? Look at the age in Midi we live, and the time when these opinions were sucesedully promulgated by men who, lam sure, with no intestion to disparage the new party, I may vesture to say watt net unequal to them. Lock at the Europe of the present day and the Europe of tee hundred years ago. It is not the same Europe. Its very form is changed. Whole nations and great nations which then flourished are no longer found. There is sot a political constitution in Europe existing at the present time which then existed. The leading community of the continent of Europe has changed all its landmarks, altered its boundaries, erased ite local names—the whole jurisprudence of Europe has been altered—even the tenure of land, which of all human in stitutions most grade the character of man, has been altered—the feudal orient) has been abolished. Not merely laws have bees changed—not merely manner* have been changed, but customs have been changed. And what hap tamed? When the turbulence was over—when the shout of triumph and the wail of Amoy were alike stilled—when, wit were, the waters bed disappeared, the mired heighti of Sinai and Calvary were again revealed, sod amid the wreck of thrones and tribunals, of extinct anions and abolished laws, mankind bowed again before the Divine truths that had been by the omnipotmt power of His ineffable wisdom entrusted to the custody of and the promulgation by • chosen people. (Loud cheering) Well, then, because all their views are second-hand and not new; because they have already been placed before the mind of man with a power and spirit that it is in vain to expect will be again equalled ; because, after so many sorrows and purified by so mush suffering, mankind have rejected this new learning which is bolstered up foe our edification, I believe that the efforts of this new school, powerful se they are and influential at this moment, and most injurious to these diocesan societies, will fail. (Cheers.) Before sitting down there is only one other point I will touch upon in reference to them. We are told every day that all I may have feebly expressed to you may be true; but at the same time there is a characteristic of the present age which never existed in preceding ages, and which most be ruinous and destructive to the church and to all religious establishments, and that is the program*[ echoes. The teachings of science sod its discoveries ere sot, we are told, consistent with the teach ings of the church. Now, I am sure there is sot ono ia this theatre whole not prepared to do full justice to the merits of scientific men, and who does not fully appredate those discoveries of science which have added so much to the convenience of life sad to the comfort of man. Bat it is of greet importable, when this tattle shoat science is mentimed, that we should mom to it precise ideas. (Hear.) I hold that the highest (machos of mince is the be terpretation of nature—end the interpretation of the highest nature is the highest science. What is the highest nature? Men is the highest nature. But I most say that whoa you compare the interpretation of the highest nature with the most advanced, the most fashionable sod modish school of modern sohnoe—compero that with mom other hmehhge with which we are familiar—l am not prepared to eay that a lecture room hi more mientific than the church. (Cheers.) What is the question now placed before society with • glib assurance the most astounding? The questioa is this— Is • man an ape or as angel? (Loud laughter.)My lord, I am oe the side of the angel. (Laughter and cheers.) I repudiate with indignation and abhorrence those views. (Cheers.) I be lieve they are foreign to the consciences of humanity, and I will say more them that, even in the strictest intellectual point of view, I believe the severest metaphysical analysis is op posed to the conclusion. Bat on the other hand, what does the church teach us? What is its interpretation of this highest nature. it teach, as that man is made in the image of his Creator • source of inspin.tioo, of solace ; • source from which can flow only right principle of meals and every divine truth. (Chess.) I say, therefore, that when we are told that the teachings of the church are not cossistant with the discoveries of science, and that in that sense the inferiority of the church is shows, I totally deny the proposition. (Cheers.) I NIT that the scientific teaching of the church upon the most important of all subjects is, in fact, infinitely superior to anything that has been brought forward by any of those new discoveries. (Cheers.) In fort, it is between those two principles that society will have to decide. Upon oar acceptance of that divine truth of which the church is the 5T: 12 1 , 1 n all sound and coherent and sensible legislation It is the only security for civilisation. It is the ru w 7gn7rantee of real pogrom. (Hear, hoar.) Now, it is to promote, to foster, sod to =Mod is this country. list mainly, of course, to-day in this diocese, the teaching of the church that we are assembled here. Let us, if we ma, carry out in spirit the resolution which has been moved by my right Loa. friend. Let us act at least with united mere, with that cordial co-operation which, if churchmen share, they will carry everything before them ,• and then discarding. as we have sumeeefully &warded, all the attempts which for some time appeared to paralyse our efforts and circulate distrust emoopt us from those who are the opponents of the church and the church prieciplea. Let us squally discard those newfangled ideas of this new party in the church, which have extended only because persons are always captivated with • novelty, hut which I think, as I have shown, is not extremely new ; sad let on by our united efforts apport those measures to which I ad verted at the commenosmeot of my observations, and ems. Melly the actions of them diocesan institutions. (The right hoe. gentleman here resumed his seat amidst 'elm moot and protracted cheers.) The rosolution was supported by Yr. A. J. B.

To-day cause was shown against this rule being made absolute. Mr. Kemp appeared to show sense, and Mr. Archibald to support the Me. The question raised for the court was whether the amount of the call upon the defendant's shares wee a " contingent liability," which ought to have been proved under the bank ruptcy, instead of being sued for is the present action. The Court, alter hearing en argument of some lemth, held that the liability to pay these calls was not a liability to respect of which there could have been a proof under the bankruptcy, and, therefore, that the verdict for the plaintiff most stand.

This me raised an important question with regard to the recovery of rates by local boards of heelth. In March, 1862, the board of health at Wolverhampton made a rate upon the defendant, sad some other owner of property, to cover the expense of paving a certain street in that town, his proportion being 31. Bs. 6d.The defendant disputed the amount of the proportions, complained that the total sum levied we. excessive, and required the matter to be referred to arbitration, seder the gentians of the Public Health Act. The plaintiffs replied that an arbitrator could only ester into an inquiry as to the proportions, and not as to whether the amount wee excessive, and took out a summon. before the justices for the amount they claimed from the defendant. The matter came before the justices on the 4th of Antnst, 1862, and, without entering upon the merits, they ambeed the summons, on the ground that the original notices to the owners and occupiers to repair the pavement ware bad. Afterwards the Court of Common Pleas decided that the notices were perfectly good. Upon the dismissal of the summons by the magistrates the plaintiffs proceeded by arbitration mdsr the statute, but when the award was made it was objected to. TM ere meant taken to the Court of Common pleas, who decided that the award was bad, and set it aside, but uprooted a strug opinion that the proceeding was vexations, Mr. Justice Bytes observing that be thought the defendant ought to pay. The plaintiffs were then advised that the mode of recovering the roomy wee through the proper Court, there being • provision in the Local Go verment Act (24 and 25 Vic., cap. 61, age. 2) to the effect that promedinp for the recovery of demands below 201., which local boards of health are now empowered by law to recover in • summary manner, may at the option of the local board be taken in the County Court as if such demand. were debts within the cogaimace of such courts. A plaint wee accordingly obtained against the defendant, but when the came came on in the County Court it woe objected on the part of the defendant that the plaintiffs having gone before the justices, had exercised the option gives by the atatot, as to the coarse they should pursue, and could not go before another tribunal, and that as the justices had dealt with the matter the County Court judge weausted of his jurisdiction. The judge, however, thought that the metier had pot base adjudicated upon sad disposed of by the justices, heard the oars, and gave judgment for the plaintiffs. During the present term Mr. Macnamara ob tained • rule for • prohibition to stay the proceeding in the County Court, and it now tame on for argument. Mr. J. J. Powell, on the part of the plaintiffs, contended that th4oousty Court judge was not deprived of jurisdiction by the proceeding before the justices, is they dismissed the summons without entering upon the me rits, and in doing* so left the matter in the same position as if • nonsuit Ibad been entered. ---- Mkr.Bsi;uMartin said he thought that taking out the sunpuous, irrespective of anything done by the justices, was exercising the option given to the plaiotiffs by the statute. Mr. Powell said if the justices had adjudicated upon the merits, be would (adroit that the proceeding before them operated as an estoppel, but they bad not dons so. The Chief Baron observed that the plaintiffs had the opti th. on of doing one of two things, and they wanted to do bo Mr. n rilnts also showed cause. _ Mr. iClClTl;inaill baring bean beard in support of the role, It was screed between the Forties, upon a suggestion from the bench, that as the question was an important one and affected many other eases, and ae the ot juditne are expected to have • respite from the quotation authorities on the lest day of tam, the rule should be enlarged until next term, in order that the opinion of the court might be given upon the point in the shape of a special cam, it being un derstood that both sides should be bound by that opinion.

(Before Mr. Oomminsiosier Goalbura.) Ilt U J. IL BLOWY, JOY. The bankrupt wr described es a fires bailiff, of Tisbury. This was the sitting for essmisatios sad discharge. Debts, 6004 ; no sweets. Mr. Bargood and Mr. Reed opposed; Mr. C. E. Lewis se In g p tel pesred that a verdict bad bees given against the bankrupt for 5004 in an action brought against him for the esductios of his amain. This waa, in effect, his only debt, and he now came here for the purpose of being discharged from it, though he wan living at home in luxury with his father. This was an abuse of the statute, which was Dever meant for the relief of pumas from such debts as this, and the petition ought to be dismissed. By the 112th section of the old act (still in force), the court was forbidden to release from custody persons against whom judgment had been given for seduction or other VlOOll ' • and such debtors ought sot to be discharged from the lesser oomegnenoes of their Ur. Lewis contended that the bankrupt was entitled to his discharge. The court had no power to punish him for any other °fleeces then those specified in the 159th series* but voider the 112th section of the old act the court bad power to refuse the Meese from custody. B the 159th section the juriediatica of the court was properl7 limited to oceninercial offeeoss. It was said that the potation ought to be dismissed because the bankrupt cams with only sae debt ; as though the ewe would have been made better by the bankrupt incurring debts in all directions. There was nothing in the act to prevent a debtor from seeking relief from oise debt, if he thought proper so to do. The leading object of the set of 1861 was to assist everyone in getting free from debt, if he could do ao. Were the court to take cognisance of the offices which the bankrupt bed com mitted, and for whirls he bad been punished by another court, it would be assuming a jurisdiction which did sot belong to it, and which bed been expressly taken away by the act of 1861. It was now no objection to a bankrupt , that be came to the court without siesta and could never' be made a ground for dismissing the petition. The doors of the court were now thrown open to all comers ; they need not have a penny in their pockets ; all that was re. quired wee a willing mind. (LeughWr.) In the owe of Taylor , which went before the Lord Chance ll or on s his lordship had held that the order of dial:harp of aben=t who bad only one debt—the damages in an adios for seduc tion—hod been properly granted, and that there was so pound for him to interfere. His lordship added that the law did not deal with more immorality. Another ease, that of Griffiths, had been decided by the Chancellor on a simi lar ground—the discharge being panted, though the Com- Ithilliol/0, had refused it, and sentenced the bankrupt to six months' imprisonment. la that case there had been a verdict against the bankrupt for 4,0001. dernagre in the Divorce Court. iliaitrOoTt;:said the awe was one of mach importanee, and he would take time to consider it. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. (Betas the Ooinnaos Serjeant.) no AuxGED nine sr • Bainuturr. The herizTeg of this ow, which occupied ili; Common fierjeant the whole of Thursday, was resumed yeaterciay morning, being the oaly case left on the list, all the other oases having been concluded on the previous evening. As before, Mr. Sarjeant Ballantine, Mr. Sleigh, and Mr. Bailey prosecuted ; the prisoner was defended by Mr. Gil lard, Mr. Butler Digby, sod Mr. Nicholson. Witnesses were now called to prove having seen goods moving from Belvedere to Hampton-wick, aid being take' into the building-yard of the prisoner's son-ia.lew. The mee , seam of the Bankruptcy Court was a:endued, sod he de ' peed going to the prisoner's house and taloag sa inventor:. aid at that time there wee a bane in the stab* which was included in the inventory, bat this horse, it was alleged, was afterwards moved from the premises for the prisoser's sole use and benefit, and whoa his goods were sold they did not realise more than 404, while several witneeses swore that shortly before the baokruptcy the household fiamitare done possessed by the pri10011( was worth 4001. er 5001. After the close of the ass for the prosecution, Mr. Giffard made a lengthy speech as behalf of his Weak end contended that no feud whatever had ever been committed, or was intended to be committed, by the prisoner at the bar, who had carried on the haziness of a master builder for many years, and had always borne a character of the highest respectability. He then called a number of 'Memo; who gave the prisoner the highest character. The Common Sedalia% then summed up, after which the jury retired to rounder their verdict, and after an deuce of merle four hours they returned into court with • var. diet of Guilty. The prisoner war sentenced to 12 months' imprisonment This beteg the last cue on the list, the sessions were ad journed until Monday, 12th December. THE POLICE COURIS. _ _ MANSION -nousz.

The duplioates were shown to Mr. Enos, sad the shawls were sees end identi fied as the property of the prosecutors, and the parcel wee identified as the one seen is the primmer's possession. The prisoner was spoken to on the subject, and he et mos ac knowledged that he had pledged the shawls, and that he had taken them from his employers' warelasues. The shawls were produced, having been pledged at four different pawn brokers, and the prisoner was identified by one pawnbroker ea having pledged a shawl which he produced. Theroeecutor said the prisoner wee very respectably con nected,p and he thought that the four shawls produced wee the whole extent to which the primmer had robbed him, and be would like the sue to be dealt with summarily. The prisoner pleaded guilty, and was sentenced to four months' imprisonment with bard lamer.
