IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS.—Moximy, Arun 16. TIM LORD Cluffremos took his seat on the woolsack at Wiffock. PRIVATE suanniss. The following bills were read a emend time:—WestMid dimes Water, Devon and Somerset Railway (capital), Moriyabire Railway, Dublin Corporation Water, Cornwa ll Couiry Lunatic Asylum, and Central Wales Extension Railway Bill The following bills were read a third time and passed:—Worcester and Birmingham Canal, Ryde Om; and Aldershot Gas sad Water Bills. PARLIAMENTARY OATHS AMENDMENT BILL. Lord RUSSELL, in moving the second reading of the Parliamentary Ostia Amendment Bill, expressed his regra o tlu m p an t the bill of last session for altering the terms of the catholic oath had not been pealed, but ad mit that any considerable change in the sett lement of 182'4 would most properly be made on the proposition of the #overnment. After an historical view of parliamen tary-oaths from the time of Charles IL, and remarking upon the obnoxious character to Roman catholic* and protestant dissenters of some of those oaths, Lord Rus sell observed that, while a declaration of allegiance and loysjty should be required from all members of parliament yet ft was unjust to place any in a position which rendered them liable to a taunt of violating their oaths if they voted in parliament according to their h o o :l e i lar t a tns. This bill was intended to place all members of ant upon an equal footing, and, therefore, he it would receive the sanction of their lordships. Lind DERBY was glad that a DBI of such importance had not been left, as the bill of last session bad been in the hands of a private member of parliament. He had opposed Mr. Monsen bill because be bad regarded it as a „portion of a series of attacks upon the protestant religion and gffelinoent of this country. Lard Derby explained that a particular phrase used by him in the debate of last tendon, which had given offenoe to the Boman ilibolics, had not been intended by him in the sense in which it bad been taken. He had entertained objections to the total abolition of the oath, but, ss a strong desire appeared to prevail in the House of Commomi that there should be but one pniform oath, he was not prepared to offer any opposi tion, After a humorous reference to Mr. BriOt's objection to the retention of the obligation to " defend " the protestant succession, Lord Derby concluded by stating that he should not oppose the second reading, nor should be in committee propose any amendments to an oath I which he hoped would be one means of promoting har mony and good feeling among all classes of her Majesty's subjects. Lind RAVENSWORTH regarded the bill as a deliberate violation of a compact between parliament and the Roman catholic., and believed that securities were necessary against the aggressive demands of the church of Rome. The Duke of ARGYLL sail that upon this subject, as a matter of feeling, his sympathies were to a great extent in accordance with those of the opponents of the measure ; but the real question was whether the oaths which Roman catholic. bad been required to take end to portions of which they objected, were any security to the crown or the protestant religion. The church of Rome had, indeed, not abandoned her pretensions, but it was not possible to pre vent men from acknowledging them if they thought fit. The country was now enjoying the fruits of the **Mesta of former times, and the true triumph of protestant, was in granting to their Roman catholic fellow-countrymen that freedom which they could never have obtained for them selves. . . . —.— Lord CHELMSFORD remarked that the objections of Roman esthetics to the present form of oath were hardly intelligible, because the same form of words had been in use for sixty or seventy years without exception having been taken to them. He should prefer to retain the old securities ; but as the other house had so decidedly expressed its opinion in favour of one uniform oath, which necessarily excluded all recognition of supremacy, be should reluc tantly abstain from opposition, although he should in com mitbie.propose an amendment not affecting the oath, but recognising the Queen's supremacy. After a few words in reply from Lord RUSSILL, Lard ARUNDELL of WARDOUR thanked the govern ment for relieving catholic, from • trammel which had long pressed upon them, but observed there were other grievances which they still laboured under, and which he hoped would soon be redressed. Lord WESTMEATH denounced the bill as a spurious attempt on tho part of the government to court popularity with the Roman catholics. The bill was then read a second time. ATTORNEYS AND SOLICITORS (IRELAND) BILL. On the suggestion of the LORD Cuascr.uon, Lord CHELMSFORD postponed the committee on this COUNTY COURTS BILL On the motion for going into committee on this bill, The LORD CHANCELLOR said that he wished to do an get of justice to a respectable body of men by cor recting a misapprehension of what he had stated when introducing the bill. He was reported to have said, but certainly del not intend to say, that the government had in trodteed the change in regard to the treaanrers of county cowls on account of many defalcations having taken place. What he said was, that defalcations had taken place, not on the part of the treasurers, but of the infe rior officers to the treasurers ; that the governmemt had thought fit to look into the matter, and they had come to the opinion that the whole machinery of the treasurers was unneces.iary, and that the investigation of accounts could be carried on us well without the treasurers as with them. At the same time, nothing could be more unjust than to atrribute blame to that class of persons, for during the twenty years that the county court establishment had existed, there had not been a single instance of any defal catioli on their part. Lord CHELMSFORD said that one of the moat intelli gent of the county court judges hail stated that there really ought to be only one judicial and one executive offices.. The bill then passed through committee, and Their lord,hips adjourned at a quarter past 8 o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—MONDAY, APRIL 16. The SPEAKER took the chair at a quarter before 4 o'clock. NEW MEMBERS. Sir JAVEA NIATIII. , ON and Mr. JULIAN GOLDEINID took the oathi and their seats for Ross and Cromarty and Honiton. REIGATE ELECTION COMMITTEE. Mr. H. H. VIVIAN, the chairman of the Reigate Elec tion Committee, appeared at the bar with the report of the committee, which declared that Mr. Leveson Gower was not duly elected for the borough of Reigate at the last election, his agents having been guilty of bribery, and the committee also reported that a system of treating and bribery WW , practised at that election ; but that it was without the knowledge and against the consent of Mr. Gower. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The following bills were read a third time and passed : Aliirington, Hove, and Brighton Gas ; Bridgnorth, Wol verhampton, and Staffordshire Railway ; Newcastle and Gateshead Water ; Sheffield Water; and the North East ern Railway (Yorkshire New Lines, &c.) Bills. ELECTION COMMITTEES. The lion. tnei ibers selected to serve on the Horsham, Maidstone...nd Bridgewater committees were called to the table and ...worn, and ordered to sit to-morrow. THE CAMBRIDGE ELECTION COMMITTEE. Mr. Lowe appeared at the bar with the report of the members appointed to serve on the Cambridge Election Committe:. and which declared that Mr. Forsyth was not duly elected fur Cambridge at the last election for that borough. . . _ PRUSSIA AND ITALY. Mr. W. BEAUMONT gave notice for this day to ask the Under Secretary for Foreign Affairs whether it was true that there was an alliance, ors semblance of an alliance, between Prussia and Italy. ARTISANS IN ROYAL DOCKYARDS. Mr. OTW_kY gave notice for this day to ask the Chan• senor of the Exchequer whether it was the intention of the government to adhere to the intention of disfranchising artisans in the public dockyards. REDISTRIBUTION OF SPATS. Mr. MARSH asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether government had come to any final determination with regard to the promised bill for the redistribution of seats; what boroughs, if any, were to be amalgamated with others; what, if any, were to be wholly disfranchised; what were to he partially disfranchised, and how the seats taken from those boroughs were to be distributed. And whether it was the intention of the government to keep its views on them subjects concealed from the members of the house until after the division on the government bill! The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER—With re spect to the threefold question of my hon. friend, it is not our practice—it certainly is not my practise--to consider any determination of the government final or irrevocable until the pi oiler time for acting upon them in the house has arrived. Therefore, until that time has come, I can not give the hon. member any information in answer to the Bret question. With respect to the second part of the question, I think it is quite plain that it could not be answered satisfactorily, except by the production of the bill. With regard to the third point, it appears to ask simply whether the govern ment intend to do that which they have already said they would do. (A laugh.) I may misunderstand my hon. friend, but if he will explain any point beyond that upon which declarations have already been made by the govern ment, or whether or not, I will take the opportunity of obviating any misunderstanding by stating the intention of government when I am addressing the house on the amendment of my noble friend. THE MALT TAX. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER rose to ask his hon. and learned friend the member foe West Suffolk, whether, with a view to the disposal of the Reps/oast•- tion of the People Bill, he would consent to postpone his motion for the repeal of the malt tax. Sir F. KELLY would be most happy to meet the 1111111- venimee et the house, as well as that of his right hon. friend, if his right hon. friend would give him • day far his motion previous to the introduction of the The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER budi =itted that his hon. and learned friend's question Wes one which II 4 le •t;„ kid :.1: 1 , . t ..,, 1 . , t . 1r • THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING, APRIL should be brought forwonl when there was a goneni de sire for its discussion, but it would not be compatible with the exigencies of public affairs to give hip hon. and,learqed friend a night before the introduction of the budget, to the iutroduetion of which he w.ut pledged on the first available night after this debate. Sir F. KBLLY—Then, sir, I shall be obliged to bring forward my motion. (Opposition cheers.) THB CATTLE PLAGUL-EMPLOYMENT OF CHM- Fisk In answer to Lord J. MiNsEas, Sir G. GREY stated that a commission was still making inquiring respecting the condition of children and young I employed in manufactories not included in the Factory Act . When that commission had made its report • hill would be brought in on the subject. The right hon. baronet also took that opportunity of stating that the =Mwhich had been made against Earl Granville ona P. Talbot of having surreptitiously introduced foreign cattle into the metropolitan county, by which means the rinderpest had been communicated and had made great ravages, had been that day investigated by the magistrates ; that the charge against Earl Granville had been completely disproved. and that against Colonel Talbot was still under investigation. THE REPRESENTATION OF THE PEOPLE. ADJOURNED DEBATE. Mr. MAGUTRE, in renewing the above debate, described the questions at issue to be these three :—ls parliament really pledged to reform? Is there any cogent reason why such a pledge should be redeemed? and Is this the time for redeeming it! He answered all the three in the affir mative, maintaining that not merely the word but the honour of both sides of the house was pledged, describing this bill as • fair compromise, which in its results would make very little difference in the composition of the house or in the representation of interests. f All interests, he said, would still be represented directly, except only the worlds' classes and no cherished institution of the country would be endangered. He controverted sonic of the arguments of Mr. Hemmen and Mr. Lows, quoting numerous pas, sage! from /armee speeches of theirs to convict them of in consistency, and, provoking frequent contradictions from both gentlemen, defended the coarse taken by the govern ment is treating the extension of the franchise aide pendently as moat practical, convenient, and honest ; and, after reminding Mr. Disraeli that in 1859 he had depre cated the introduction of party considerations into the discussion of the question, he concluded by exhorting the house to take advantage of the present fime of calm to effect • just and lasting settlement. Lord DUNKELLIN (who spoke from the bench imme diately behind the government) supported the amendment, condemning unreservedly the separation of the two branches. He canvassed the provisions of the bill, ob. jeering principally to the abolition of the rate-paying clause, to the extension of the franchise to leaseholders in counties, and dwelt at length on the many inconvenienoes and absurdities of increasing the number of voters before it was known how the constituencies were to be redistri buted, professing himself, at the same time, a friend to moderate and judicious and comprehensive reform. Mr. W. E. FORSTER remarked on the discrepancy be- tween the resolution and the speeches of its supporters, which, with one or two exceptions, were directed against the extension of the franchise. Believing it to be essen tially conservative measure, and being surprised at the readiness with which it had been accepted by the advanced liberals, he regretted the objections raised to it by the op position, and, assuming that all parties allowed the justice and necessity of admitting the elite of the working c he showed that this, and nothing more, would be the effect of the bilL He eulogised the independence and political wisdom of this portion of the working dames, corn bating the notion that they would act together se a body in politics, and expressed a sincere conviction that, so far from being a mere instalment, the bill would effect a settlement for the lifetime of the pre sent generation ; but if this offer were declined, he pre dicted that the non-electors would lose confidence in par liament, and would take the question into their own hands. After repudiating all sympathy with doctrines and designs subversive of the institutions of the country, he earnestly exhorted the conservative party to accept this fair compromise, so as to give par li ament time and oppor tunity for nettling other important reforms. Mr. M'KENNA opposed the bill, as he declined to place • blind confidence in the government. Looking to the anomalous condition of Ireland, he thought that remedial measures ought to precede parliamentary reform. Sir J. SIMEON asked whether it was wise to allow an opportunity like the present to pass for purchasing the gratitude and affection of the working classes. Mr. J. LOWTHER referred to several recent reform meetings, to show that the speakers were not persons of a class an whom it would be desirable to confer the franchise. . . Sir F. CROSSLEY taunted the opposition with profes sions of liberality, while at heart they were bitterly opposed to any extension of the franchise. The present concession was, in his opinion, a very moderate one, which the education and good conduct of the working dames entitled them to have. He pressed the government to dis solve parliament if the amendment was carried. Mr. ADDERLEY protested against the misrepresenta tions of the supporters of the bill, who, instead of arguing against the amendment, indulged in groundless accusa tions against the opposition of being enemies to all re form. The question now before the house, he asserted, was not parliamentary reform, but parliamentary freedom —whether the house should be "degraded and insulted" by being compelled to consider one half the subject, while the key to the meaning of it was without any reason with held from them. Amid loud and prolonged cheering from the opposition, he sharply rebuked Mr. Gladstone's habit of originating offensive phrases—such as the " con tamination" and " invasion of the working classes," and attributing them to his opponents, and made a vigorous attack on Mr. Bright for his endeavours to exasperate the working classes against the landed interest. In discussing the bill on its merits he fixed on two principal defects—it swamped the agricultural representation by inundating the county constituencies with urban and trading voters, and handed over the election in very msny places mainly to manual labourers, illustrating both propositions by copious statistics. He asserted that the o'ona'ervative part] was favourable to constitutional reform, and pressed the house not to consent to deal with the subject in • fragmentary fashion. Mr. LAYARD, in opposing the amendment, replied to some of Lord Stanley's arguments, vindicating the wisdom and convenience of dealing with the question in parts. In commenting on the arguments against the bill, he denied that the working classes were, or could be, adequately re presented under the present system, and, in replying to the assertion that the working classes were not worthy of the franchise, he provoked a storm of contnuliction from the opposition by asserting that the aristocracy had been in favour of going to war on behalf of Denmark and the Southern States, while work- ing men had supported a pacific policy. He contended that the working classes had as deep a pecuniary stake in the prosperity of the country as any other class, and with regard to the charge of corruption, he asserted that the chief culprits were the corrupters, not the corrupted, con chiding a speech which reused a great deal of angry feel ing, by expressing a confident opinion that the bill would be accepted by the working classes as a satisfactory com promise. Sir H. CAIRNS replied to Mr. Ltyard, and asserted i that, so far from the opposition being responsible for the country drifting into war on the Danish question, Mr. Cobden had declared in his place in parliament that the despatches of the government were rapidly tending towards that result. He was willing to admit that there ought to be a fair representation of the working classes. In the boroughs there was already a substantial representation, and the only question that remained was whether it ought to be increased, and whether there should be a larger re presentation in counties. So far as boroughs were concerned, the bill would give the working classes a majority in constituencies returning 111 members, and the bill for re distributing seats would give them 50 more, making 180 in all, which, if dexterously wielded, would give » preponder ating power to the representatives of those boroughs. The hon. and learned gentleman criticised the statistics of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, which, he said, would admit a much larger number of persons to the franchise than he represented, and maintained that the speech of Lord Stan ley was unanswerable and unanswered. On the motion of Mr. GRAHAM the debate was at a late hour adjourned. The remaining business on the paper was disposed of, and the house adjourned at ten minutes past 2. RAILWAY AND OTHER BILLS IN PARLIAMENT.- Yesterday Mr. Smith, one of the examiners upon standing order proofs, sat in room B of the House of Lor .s and dis posed of the following bills :—The Dagenhmn (Thames) Docks Bill, and the unopposed petition of the Bray and Enniskerry Railway, in both of which cases the standing orders were declared to have been complied with. In group 1, the committee proceeded with the further con sideration of the Metropolitan District Railway Bill, which occupied the whole of the day's sitting. The Metropolitan Railway (additional powers )Billwas ad journed until this day (Tuesday). In group 1 A;theLondon, Chatham, and Dover, and South Eastern (Kennington, Clapham, and Brixton) Railways, was further proceeded with and again ad journed. The Bristol and Portishead Pier and Railway was adjourned in group 5, and the same committee pro ceeded with the consideration of the Bristol Harbour Junc tion Railway and IVharf Depot,which was further adjourned. In group 7 the appearances were taken in the cases of the Thames and Severn Canal Navigation and the Wye Valley Railway bills, and the committee adjourned their further consideration. The committee in group 9 gave several decisions with regard to the numerous bills contained in the list. The preamble was declared to be proved in the eases of the Hoylake Railway, the Wrexham. Mold, and Connab's Quay, and Hoylake Railways ; the Cheater and West Cheshire Junction Railway ; and the Man chester ant Stockport Railway. In the last-mentioned bill the committee went through and settled the clauses, and the consideration of the clauses in the other bills was adjourned. In group 13, the Lanoaahire and Yorkshire Railway (West Riding Branches, he.) was further pro ceeded with, and again adjourned.

The racing to dsy, which was vary interesting, commenced with the Princess of "Wales's Stakes, which resulted in a match between garnet and the Meestindma filly, the first mentioned winning by a neck. The Handicap Plate gave another instance of the excellence of the Duke, who with the crushing weight of 9st 6lb defeated inland and a large field in the Handicap Plate over the Rowley Mlle., The Prince of Wales's Stakes was won by Broomielaw, the favourite, although at the distance he ran so ungenerously, swerving all over the course, that shouts were raised that he was beaten. At intervals some Important betting took plat- on the Two Thousand and Derby, the fact of Mend having run second to The Duke having increased the confidence of the backers of the favourite for both the grand events.

A: , AUTBORITIES OF ST. PANCRAS. Yesterday the adjourned inquiry, at the instiga tion of the Poor-law Board, as to the alleged neglect and illtreatment of a child in the merry and infirm wards of St. Pancras Workhouse, was resumed before the full board of guardians, in the board-room of that establishment. It will be remembered that a complaint had been made by a man, named Daniel Chatterton, that his child in the month of February last was found byhim in the workhouse nursery and infirmary in a filthy state and covered with sores, and that when he came before the board to complain of it, he was told he was a madman, and to go and wash his own face, Btc. When the inquiry was called on last week, Chatterton was not prepared with his wit nesses, and it was adjourned till yesterday. Mr. Church. warden Robson presided, and Mr. Hillocks was pedant. Mr. Douglas said before they had any other evidence he should like to know how this child came into the house, when the following letter, addressed by Chatterton to the master of the workhouse, was read, aa admitted by Chat terton to be in his handwriting :—" 78, Cromer-street, Gray's-inn-road, Sept. 15, 1865. Mr. Morrison, be kind enough to send for my child, Alfred Chatterton, 4 years of age, whom I have deserted, at the house as above. Please to send directly, as he is left without food or help in room without doom or windows.—Yours truly, DANIEL CuarrEwros." To this letter was appended the report of Mr. Stevens, the inspector, to the e ff ect that on the after- I noon of the receipt of this letter he went to the house, and found that i thestatement made that the father had deserted his child, and that without food or help, was quite true, and the child was brought and received at the workhouse. Chatterton now said he did not complain of the treatment of his child while it had the measles. He saw it two or three weeks after but did not complain, but on one occa sion when he found it in No. 2 ward it was covered with filth, and on the 20th Feb. he took his brother and sister in-law, and on lifting the child out of bed the smell was very bad, and the child had sores on its person, and was covered from its toes to its loins with filth, and its bones were coming through its akin, and the flesh was lacerated. He added that when he complained and showed the child to the nurse of the ward, she said it was far worse when it came there from the other ward. These statements were confirmed by the brother and sister-in-law of Chatterton, and a similar statement was made in writing by his wife, who was not present. In answer to questions, Chatterton said he had been in prison six weeks for violence and assaulting a broker. He had called Mr. Butt (the surgeon) names. He had laid hands on Messer, the ;assistant out-door agent, but he had not said anything to him. He had said he should like to get Mr. Butt outside to give him a good drubbing. Jane Horton, nurse, said that about six weeks ago she heard Chatterton, when in one of the wards, say that with respect to Mr. Butt, "I will be one with him ; let me get him outside and I will stab him, by I will." Mary Saunders, a nurse, said when the child was first re ceived into the house it was in a very weak state, and was ordered port wine, steel wine, beef tea, milk, and mutton by the doctor. It had all these things, but Chatterton was continually talking insultingly, and asserting that the child was starved. She told the master of his behaviour, and the master prohibited him from visiting the house except twice a week. The child was always clean, and the father never complained that it was dirty. It was her duty to change the clothing of the children when anything hap pened, and she frequently did so four or five tunes a day, and did so in this case. Mrs. Sansum, superintendent of the nursery, con fi rmed the statement of the last witness, as did also Mary Andrews, a nurse. Mr. Butt, the house surgeon, mid the child had been entirely under his are from the middle of January last. It bad been previously ordered wine and extra diet, and he continued the treatment. He denied that there were any sores whatever on its back as described, but there was a little redness about the lower part of its person caused by its debilitated state. Every care was taken to prevent the spread of that. The skin was never broken. He frequently saw the child three times a day, and everythingpossiblewss done for it. After some further evidence the board resolved, " That having patiently examined into the complaint made by D. Chat terton contained in his statement (a copy of which was forwarded by the Poor-law Board) the directors are of opi nion that the charges are utterly unfounded ; and further are of opinion that the child has received every attention at the hands of the officers and nurses of the workhouse, and that a copy of the evidence and resolution be sent to the Poor-law Board."

THE TUNBRIDGE WELLS MURDER. Yesterday morning the woman Ann Lawrence, charged with the murder of her son, aged four years, at Tunbridge Wells, on Saturday, was brought up at the Town-hall on this charge, and also on a further charge of attempting to murder Walter Highams, the man with whom she was living, by cutting him on the head and body with a billhook, at the same time and place. Several witnesses were examined. The man Highams was examined at the Infirmary, and his statement was that on the Friday previous the prisoner went to London, and on returning home she commenced swearing at him because she thought he bad been with another woman, and the little boy (the murdered child) was crying and his pinafore dirty. They went to bed all right, and in the morning, at about five o'clock, the prisoner got up, and on being asked the reason why by Highains, she replied that she intended to make a fire. She went down stain and he took hold of the baby, about nine or ten months old, and while holding it in his right arm, on his breast, he went to sleep, the murdered boy lying on the left foot of the bed. Some time afterwards he was awoke by several blows levelled at his head by the prisoner, who was armed with a billhook, and in endeavouring to ward off repeated blows he held up his hands, which she cut in a frightful manner, the lower knuckle of the middle finger of the right hand being cut completely through. He succeeded in pushing her away against a sieve that was in the room, and slid down stairs into the washhouae, where she again ►ttacked him with the same weapon. lie, however, sue. ceeded in overpowering her and wresting the billhook from her. She then laid hold of the hair of his head, thrust him several times against the wall and hit him with her fists, his loss of blood being now so great that ho was too weak to resist her. The Chairman cautioned the prisoner in the usual way, after which she said, " I own to all but killing the child. I can't own to that. I did not do it, and therefore I can't own that." She was then committed for trial at the next assizes on both charges. In the afternoon an inquest was held on the body of the murdered boy, when a verdict of " Wilful murder" against the woman Lawrence was returned. THE CITY TAILORS AND THE WAGES MOVEMENT. An aggregate meeting of the operative tailors of the City of London, convened by the London Operative Tailors' Protection Association, was held yesterday at the City of London Theatre, Mr. W. Neal (the president of the asso ciation) in the chair, for the purpose of taking measures to obtain in the City an advance of one penny per hour on the present rate of wages. The chairman, in opening the proceedings, alluded to the saccess attained by the tailors of the west-end on the occasion of their recent lock-out, and said that the tailors of the City, who so much contri buted to the happy results of that movement, now in tended to take measures for their own benefit. He consi dered they did not occupy their proper social position amongst the mechanics of this country, and the fault would lie with themselves if they did not cry out against the injustice to which they were subjected by their employers. The public were concerned in the question at issue,snd he had no doubt the public would endorse their claims. Mr. Hardcastle proposed the following resolution, "That this meeting views with satisfaction the termination of the dis pute at the west end and that we in the City believe it would be an act of injustice to men and masters if we did not use all the means in our power to obtain the advance contained in the measure addressed to our employer,— namely, Id. per hour on the present rate of wages." He requested the tailors of the City to abolish all distinctions in the trade. They should also unite as one man and make the demand of their employers, no matter whether they did slop work or private work. The employers who gave 4d. or lower were expected to give 5d., and those who paid sd. were asked for &I. Mr. M. Laurence, president of the west end branch of the Tailors' Protective Association, seconded the resolution. He urged the operative tailors of the City to battle for their rights, and said the central committee would stand to their backs. The resolution was then put, and carried with acclamation. The chairman said he thought it right to say that three employers in the City had ac ceded to the demand of the men. Mr. Hawley proposed a resolution, pledging the meeting to give to the committee power to use all legitimate means to obtain the advance. Mr. Barry, a west-end tailor, seconded the resolution. He said the inadequate Ray of the tailors compelled them and their families to inhabit dens of contagion, where outside work was done. If the general public was aware of the means to which the employers of the west-end had to resort during the lock-out they would shrink from wearing the garments then made. Mr. Green, secretary of the west-end branch of the Tailors' Protective Associa tion, then addressed the meeting, and was very warmly re ceived. He said their demands were just and reasonable, and should they be refused by the employers they would adopt efficient means for enforcing them. The resolution was carried unanimously. FATAL ACCIDENT THROUGH ALIOHTITIG FROM a TRAIN 'IN MorioN.—A young man who was employed as barman at the Railway Terminus Hotel, London-bridge, had been down to Dorking on Sunday on a visit to Ms friends, and on reaching London-bridge station in the evening stepped out of the earr + ge in which he was riding before the train atopped, and fell between the platform and the carriage.

(Before the Lord Chancellor.) El PARTE LEIGHTON U Lwrawron.—DANIMPTCY. The question in this appeal ',imply was whither under the statutory provisions of the Bankruptcy Act a clerk whe t in the absence of his employer, was in charge of boob end documents belonging to a person whom it was sought to adjudicate bankrupt, was bound to produce them at the order of the court. It was contended that such a person could not be said to have such legal poseession of the books as to make him subject to the order. M. De Ger was for the appeal ; Mr. Bacon and Mr. Reed on the other side. The Lord Chancellor was of opinion that on the evi dence the books were not in the custody, power, or pos- session of the clerk ; and if an order was made on him to produce them, he might be subject to an action. The order must be discharged, and the appeal dismissed with costa. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.—Aran, 16. Bitting. in Banco.—(Before Lord Chief Justice Erie, and Justices Byles, Keating, and Smith.) SULAM D. JACOBS. ' Mr. Huddleston, Q.C., said that tii; defendant in this case had supplied some plant to the Glucose Sugar Com pany, and subsequently issued an execution against them for the sum due to him. He then found that the plaintiff claimed the property seized in execution under a bill of sale, and this was an interpleader issue to try the validity of the deed. The jury found for the plaintiff ; but it was now submitted to the court that the MR of sale Vras bad upon the following grounds : that the company had no power to give a bill of sale ; that there was no description in the document of the business carried on by the com pany ; and that the addressee of two directors who signed as attesting witnesses were not given. The court held that the company had power to give the bill of sale, and that their business was sufficiently de scribed by the name of the company. As to the other point, they were of opinion that the two directors had not signed as attesting witnesses at all, but as directors, in as with the course of business. Rule refused. COURT OF EXCHEQUER.-ApRIL 16. (The Judges in this Court were Lord Chief Baron Pollock, and Barons Martin, Bramwell, and Pigott.) lITLEB n. LZADEII AND CYl'HiltA. '" " Mr. Manisty said this was an action for libel, tried before Mr. Justice Keating at Leeds, when a verdict was returned for the defendant, and he wee instructed on the part of the plaintiff to move for a rule to show cause why there should not be a new trial on the ground of misdirection. It was au action for libel published in the Sheffield and Rotherhaesheclependent newspaper, and the libel complained of was contained in a report of the proceedings before a registrar of the Court of Bankruptcy on making his visita tion at York Castle, for the examination of debtors under the provisions of the Bankruptcy Act. The inquiry by the registrar was to ascertain whether a person named Gray, was in the gaol, ought to be adjudicated a bankrupt, or otherwise dealt with. Grayhad two partners in a brewery, bet it was only wan individual that the pro ceedimai were taken againsthim. One of his partners was the plaintiff, an attorney, and the statement complained of inthenewepaperwasthat that gentleman had compromised with his creditors, whereas it was proved at the trial not only that he had not done so, but that he had no idea of entering into any compromise with them. The defence was that what took place before the registrar was a pro ceeding in a court of justice, and that there being no malice and the report not being unfair, it * MA a privileged report, and therefore did not render the defendants liable. The question now was whether the court held by the re gistrar for the purpoee in question was a court of justice. Mr. Baron Martin—What view did Mr. Justice Keating take bf the matter? . . . Mr. Manisty—Re ruled that it was a judicial pro ceeding. Mr. Baron Martin—Of which any man present mild take a note and publish it. Mr. Manisty—That is the question. The Lord Chief Baron—The registrar has power to make anorder of adjudication in bankruptcy, to grant protection, and order the release of a prisoner. Surely those are judicial proceedings. After some discussion, and reference to the different authorities upon the point, The Lord Chief Baron said he should be sorry to fetter the freedom of the press in the publication of judicial pro ceedings, but there might be a question whether a report of what took place before the registrar was protected by the law, and therefore a rule would be granted. Rule nisi. Mr. Walton, the Queen's remembrancer, read a notice stating that the court had, in pursuance of the power given to it by the Crown Suits, &c., Act, 1865, sanctioned certain rules of court for regulating the procedure and practice in suits by English information. COURT OF ARCHES.—Arsu. 16. (Before the Right Hon. Dr. Luehington. Dean of Arches.) TUSK AND FRNNING V. HUTTON.--THE BALHiII CHURCH This case, which had been several months pending, and the question in which was the validity of a church rate, was heard to-day. Dr. Travers Twiss, Q.C., and Dr. Tristram appeared for the churchwardens, Messrs. Tiarks and Fleming ; the Queen's Advocate, Dr. Deane, Q.C., and Mr. A. Wills appeared for the defendant, who had objected to pay the church rate. _ . _ . The rate in dispute was made in June, 1864, and the amount sought to be recovered by the eemive proceed ings was H. lls. 3d. The rate was 3d in the pound. Several witnesses were called on both sides and viva voce evidence was given. Three objections were raised to the validity of the rate—that it was not duly made by the vestry, that it was excessive,. and further that there were illegal expenses which affected its validity. At the vestry meeting in June, 1864, the defendant, Mr. Baggavelly, and other gentlemen, objected to the rate on the ground that only Si. out of 501. voted for new stoves for the church bad been expended, and that upwards of 201. bad been charged for law ex penses, and that there were other expenses which could not be allowed in a church rate. An amendment was proposed that it was neither legal nor expedient that • church rate should be levied in the district of St. Mary's, Halham, which was for poor-law purposes a part of Streat ham parish. The amendment was negatived. A poll was demanded, and waa in favour of the rate and against the amendment, which was negatived, and the question was raised whether the church rate had actually been caned. Some law expenses had been paid to two firms ; a sum to the vestry clerk of Streatham had been paid, five guineas for making out a list of the district from the poor rate, and a sum to the collector of the church rate of about 181. The organist had been paid 40/. ; and a question was raised whether it was a valid payment out of a church rate. There was a sum in hand when the rate was proposed, and, added to the alleged illegal expenses, there would have been a large sum in hand, and that, therefore, a rate of 3d. per pound was excessive, as the estimate for the year proposed was 1631. Dr. Twiss submitted that he had proved the case on the part of the churchwarden, and that the district of St. Mary's, Balham-hill, after e ceder is council, was a legal district for a church rate. The Queen's Advocate said after the decisions of this court in two previous cases he should not raise the ques tion as to the legality under the order of council. Dr Tarim contended that the objection raised did not invalidate the rate as made against the defendant. The Queen's Advocate urged the three objections he had raised. His Lordship proceeded to comment on the three objec tions. There was an irregularity as to the poll, but he did not consider that it would vitiate the proceedings. There was money in hand, and was the rate of 3d. exces sive ? Then there were expenses. Considering the diffi culties of churchwardens, he could not say they were illegal, nor could he say that the expense of an organist was an improper expenditure. His lordship then reviewed the question with his accustomed clearness, and pro nounced for the validity of the rate, with costa against the defendant. CITY COURT OF COMPENSATION. Aram 16.

His total was, with the 10 per cent for compul sory sale, 37,3181., which, added to the 10,5001. agreed upon, would make a total of 47,8181., as against the claim of upwards of 97,0001. on the other side. Mr. Pownall and other witnesses were called on the part of the company, and ultimately the jury retired for half an-hour. On their return the verdict, including the 10,500/. agreed upon, was 61,0501. THE POLICE COURTS. 'WESTMINSTER. The Earl of Mauinista' was summoned by Mr. Bevan, on behalf of the Metropolitan Board of Works, under a recent act of parliament, for having his chimney on ire. Mr. Bevan asked for the full penalty (205.) The earl's butler attended, and stated that his master was in Ireland. . . Stephen Smith, 258 A, mid he was on duty in Belvey.- spare on the night of the 17th January, at 8 o'clock. There were sparks coming from the stack of chimneys be longing to his lordship's house. He spoke to the footman, who said, " All right; we've put it out now. A man came with a hand pump. By the Magistrate—Didn't know whether there were any other chimneys in the stack but the earl's. The butler explained that other chimneys ran into that stack whence the fire proceeded ; sod that the fire did not, and could not, proceed from any ol the earl's chimneys. All the servants examined the chimneys and Ares, and came to that conclusion. Mr. Belie thought suilleient explanation bad been given, and dismissed the summons. .mars.

SOUTHWARK. Susan Miles sad Mary den Clarke were brought up fat final examination, charged with assaulting Hari' in the Waieriao-mad, and robbing her of htti b Ll value 20a.. It appeared from the evidence of the prossaiiih, tiovinnaker, that on the evening of the 6th huhu she had been on a visit to her aunt at Camberwell, s l ed turning home to the Belvidere-road eke met an aeqesht, Iscc, with whom she entered a publi c -h ones i n th lys t i ee h,C.road, and partook of a glass of brsudy and vs*. After leaving her she had not proceeded many yards bo om sums one seized hold of her, and pushed her %%h i t t h s wall, and her shawl was taken from her. In answer to the magistrate, witness said that the sa k e wuantity of liquor she drank completely overpowered h i hen she got a few yards from the public house so tes she could not reeopuo the parties who seaultei robbed her. She, however, believed that Clark e was ch of them, as she h ad some recollection of her coming op Rd speaking to her.

As soon as they p in a dark part of the road they pounced upon hee, sai Clarke snatched the shawl from her. They were drat move o ff , when witness mired Clarke and found the glint on her. Samuel Hatherley, 96 L, corroborated the testimony the last witness, and added thathe saw Mil es p ai l proseentrix, when the other prisoner snatched og shawl. He followed Miles, and took her into cui. The prisoners denied the robbery altogether, „r, innthat the proeecutrix lent her the shawl. In answer to his worship, Harrington said th a t Ciuk e was a very bad character indeed, and 1111 for the other sonar, her family was respectable. She had been ia solo situation, and left that to cohabit with a man wholes art in penal servitude. The magistrates asked the prisoners whether they my be tried by him or go to the sessions.
