Though I slionld have' great endideace in ray owe felew.eitioses et Itaaelarster, I yet I cannot forget the waving given ley Mr. Fowls Corday as to the parmiadve mature of the bill, from &e l Primes Chaplain Bill ; and I mush fear that is meal plow the same motive which influences awned sr,' as magistrates are supposed to be, would be found Ares* influencing she members of education essandiesee fa some es. For this reason I adopt all the tim Ow e to local management which were elated h a t report of the Duke of Newcastle's eassaatraise. Those is another point on this subject of coserlien upset parents to send their children which I think &made , attention. It appears to me that if compulsory, sad for the labouring elms, as contemplated in the grants which are at preeent made by the Committee of Council, then the education should be free ; but whilst free, not eleemo synary, it should be given on such terms as weeld set be dmading to its recipients—inch as they ahead have est merely a liability to be driven to, but a title to ask far. I think, then, that it should not come from n = partial parochial rating, but from some ge teration, to which all would as certainly ear tribute as they do to the support of the army or the navy, and that they should thus. as cording to their place in life, have as good a right to the benefit of the school as they have to the defence of the army or the navy. There would then be no degradation in the free school, even though it were limited to the labour ing class We admire and are anxious for the Prussian compulsion, let us not psamsrise our working men, but give them at least the Prussian independence. lam con vinced that this bill will be of but parti ut al must not use without compulsory attendance where requisite, bwe make the bill or that compulsion an instrument of opens sion. Now, I think it would be so with parochial or local rating. The localities in which the greatest amount of rate would be required are those which are the least able to sustain it. In those over-rated districts of London which were referred to yesterday, the rete on the poor housekeeper in his 201. house would be much greater than in such neighbourhoods as Sydenham. The man of 201.. if taxed on the Manchester scheme et M. per pound would pay 101. ; and probably a penny rate at Sydeoham would liberate the soul of the occupant of a rag. house and all its comforts for 105. also. The same would hold with regard to Hulme, in Manchester, and Bowdon, in Alderley Edge, in this neighbourhood. If we have compulsion, then, let us have it without financial oppression. A national, and not a local, rate for a national purpose. Let us not imitate one of the greatest defects of our Poor-law system. A national rate, a county admi nistration raider central direction, and then the rural dis tricts would receive as much att ention as boroughs, and the present unwilling or indifferent landholder beingalso put under compulsion, would become solicitous for edu cation in is neighbourhood, that he might have an equi valent for what he had paid. These are my ideas of com pulsory education. At the close of the 1;m-union Mr. DAZLET made a short reply, in which he asked the conference to give an unequi vocal expression of opinion on the question. Dr. WATTS was then called upon to move that the Education Bill Committee be requested to consider, and, if practicable, to prepare clauses to enforce the attend ance of neglected children at school, and to arrange with Mr. Bailey for the introduction of such clauses into any , education bill brought into parliament during next session, U such bill reaches the committee stage. Mr. S. T. HIRBERT. M.P., objected to the words "if practicable." (Hear, hear.) Dr. Waits replied that the words had been introduced adoieedly. The Rev. Mr. 1 , 1.11 approved of the omission of these MANCHESTER, Tarrnstdr. The National Conference on Education was continued to-day in the Town-hall, Manchester ; Mr. W. FORwrza, M.P., lathe chair. The attendance, as before, was very After 118Torster's speech, the conference proceeded to consider quest affecting the Industrial Schools and Factory Acts. The two points on which opinion was in vited were-1. Operation of the Industrial Schools Act; and 2. Extension of the Factory Act. Mr. H. A. Bauer, M.P., said that members of parlia ment should learn a deep lesson of humility from assem blies like this • for they showed how weak and frere t t h i2 absurd the legislation on which they had bestowed best care was considered by men deserving of the greatest respect both for intellectual and moral worth. He should have been content to sit down humbly under the castiga tion. m isunderstandin g had not thoht that he mioht usefully correct some which existed on some of the sub jects which had been discussed. It had been remarked that the legislature bad foolishly allowed magistrates, indeed of compelling them to commit children to industrial schools. The word in the act should have been " shall;' and not" may." (Hear, beard But something might be said in favour of the hesitancy of parliament. Before imposing the duty on magistrates, instead of leav ing it to their discretion, they bad to consider all the pos sible circumstances, otherwise they would have arrived at a state of communism, and every parent who wished to get rid of the responsibility of clothing, feeding, and edu cating hie child would have only to turn him out into the streets, and the magistrate would be compelled to commit him to a certified industrial school. (Hear.) In reference to the charge of Archdeacon Sandford against colliery legislation, he reminded them that at present no boy could be employed underground before the age of twelve. Mr. Samuelson bad suggested that the law of Westphalia might be imitated in this country, and that no collier should be allowed to go underground till be was sixteen. lie should be glad if that could be managed, but a boy of twelve could now earn 12s. • week, and II youth of 16 could earn 255. a week if he was • good active collier; and were they to keep boys from the only employmentopen to them in many remote mining districts till that age, in order that they might get a proper education' (Mr. SIMONS—Yeb.L All he could say was that they mast beware not to carried away by weak, romantic enthu siasm. (Hear, hear.) Let them by all means be moved by the spirit of humanity. It was unfortunate that men must work underground at all, and be exposed to the perils of a collier's life, but were they to prevent men from working underground' In regard to the employment of women at pit banks, he was unable to draw any distinction between the out-door emoloyment of women on the surface of the ground in the neighbourhood of &colliery, and the outdoor employment of women in agricultural districts, except that for purposes of convenience they adopted • kind of bloomer costume ;he knew of no other distinction. lie considered it degrading to the female sex that they should :o employed ; he rejoiced that in South Yorkshire and in toe neighbourhood of Manchester colliery pro prietors declibvil the service of women, and women did not offer themselveg. But this was a matter which must be left to public opinion, which was improving from year to year, and which could not be interfered with by legislation. He apolog ised to Professor Jack for the manner in which be put the question regarding cer tificates ; Protector Jack, for whom he hail a groat had received the communication referred to u re nor c er t ihe seal of secrecy, and was quite right in the course he took ; but having been connected with a de partment of the Privy Council, and knowing that any such fraudulent act as Professor Jack mentioned would be at once followed by a letter to the managers of the school calling on them to dismiss the master on pain of receiving no further payment, he ventured to ask the question, he was afraid, with • warmth that he could hardly justify. In reference to the opinion of Messrs. Samuelson and Mundells,that chilirenshouldbemevented from receiving employment miler they could show • cer tain amount of proficiency at school, that might properly Ise enforced in a country like Germany. where for two cen turies education had been brought borne to every man's door. hut in this country, where no complete c r y of national education existed, and where whole districts were utterly unprovided with the means of education, it seemed to hint that it would be in the last degree impolitic and cruel to apply legislation which might be excellent in Germany to the different circumstunoes of this country. (Cheers.) The next questions to be considered were as to details respecting compulsory attendance, and the compulsory clauses proposed to be introduced by Mr. Barley. Mr. ItAnr.v, M.l'. congratulated the conference upon the important woil: it had done, and upon the fact that a propitious public opinion had declared with one voice that ;potence must be banished from the land. After strug gliug with difficulty and differences for a quarter of a century, educationists now had a chance under the operetione of the Education Bill Committee of agreeing in the made principles of a measure to be carried out. With out compulsion under the Factory Act the many children who had received a tolerable education would probably have remained long in ignorance. It was a pleasant re membraure to him and his partners that when they were in business they educated some 5,000 children, many of whom now woe in exeellent positions, and one of whom, atter passing successfully through college, had become a clergyman of the estibliehed church. Putting aside the mere tilleAinli of reparation for toil and lebour, the mural and mental condition of our poorer fellow country men ought alone to stimulate our efforts until that diffu sion of knowledce was secured which the cannery was beginning to look upon as indispensable. If compulsory attendance were enforced the cost of education would be recouped to the public ; the extra expenditure in school rates would be nothing to the gain iu the reduction in prison and other taxes, and the cost of education would prove to he much ten than the cost of ignorance. (Cheers.) All legislation —local and otherwise—was founded upon a system of cons , polaion, and it was idle to declaim against it in this case, when by moans of a little gentle restraint virtue and in telligence were produce , L Him own experience was that education under the Factory Act made the educated not only more intelligent, but more expert in their business. We ought not to be afraid of a little compulsion in the face of great and enduring good. Even in the education of our own children, whether at home, in college, or in school, a certain kind of compulsion and restraint was absolutely essential, end most of us would be no doubt very thankful now if we had ourselves been a little more restrained in our younger days. (Laughter.) Whilst he was an uncompromising friend both of rating and atten dance, Lo was not so unbending that he would not accept the greatest possible good that could be obtained. waiting, however, and w,wking fur a compulsory system. There was no reason why, in seven years' time, we should not completely emancipate our poor children from the thral dom of ignorance. (Cheers.) He was not in favour of any immediate change in the education of the middle and higher classes, hut would at once proceed to help the help less, in the belief that they, when educated, would push on the education of the classes above them. The CI tAI 131 AN said the conference was entirely agreed upon the necessity of a compulsory attendance, and it would be hest now to consider whether there ehoidd be other means of compelling attendance besides the Factory snit Industrial Acts. Archdeacon Satcoroon said Lis conviction was that we must extend the principle of compulsory educaf.on when • without it elementary instruction would Le withheld. It was a delusion to expect that the mere provision of good schools would exhaust the numbers of children to be educated. There were, and would be, hundreds of parent. who as lone as they had money would prefer to spend it in beer or ribbons rather than in teaching their own flesh and blood. Compulsory rating and compulsory education must go together, and when these were given, we should have conferred a priceless boon upon the nation that would extend into the far future and obtain the plaudits of posterity. (Cheers.) Professor CHRISTIE, of Owen'a College, maid the oppo nests of comp'ilsion declared that where it was potable it was not needful, and where needful it was impossible. In rural districts, prolably, • moral compulsion, arising from the bill uence of the clergy and others, might De al found to be sufficient ; but in large towns there were ' numbers who would not he touched by moral compulsion, and with respect to whom even the Factory and Industrial Acts were powerless. Nothing but compulsion would bring them into school, and no other suggestion had ever been made to meet the difficulty. The word impossible should be rejected altogether. Every kind of reform in the past had been pronounced to be, and had really ap peared to be, impossible, but they had been carried out. (Cheers.) Canon Tome (a catholic) said—ln giving my adhesion to the desire for .01310 enactment which will compel negligent parents to send their children to school, I must first ob serve, that though I know that I speak the sentiments of many with whom lam associated, yet I speak only Lodi vidually, and not as • representative of any port:on of the catholic delay of this neighbourhood. As lam somewhat acquainted during the lad twenty-one years with the edu cational wants of • great portion of the poor of this city, and of the inability of some and the indifference of others to the supply of those wants, I have come to the con clusion that • greater external aid than has yet been given, even by the Committee of Council, is requite as a remedy for the first ; and that when that remedy has been provided, then those for whom it has been provided shall be compelled to use it. I believe that it is primarily the right and the duty of the parent to educate his children ; that, when he cannot do it, it is the duty of the benevolent to help him ; and that, if the eta of the benevolent is deficient, then, be cause ignorance in a community like cows is an evil, it is the duty of the state to compel his fellow citizens to give him that aid which he requires, but withont infringing any of his rights whilst it aids him in the discharge of his duty. This aid which I spoil of here is meant to the full extent of his want, and it is the sup ply of that which gives the title to see that the father or guardian avails himself of it for the benefit of his child. It gives no title to infringe on any of his rights, and therefore it leaves the rights of con science free, and because the father has a duty to give re ligious education, as well as merely literary instruction to his children, he has a right to require in return for the forfeiture of liberty which • compulsory enactment would take from him, that he shall have the opportunity words. The CIIATRMAN also approved of the omission, and read the resolution as amended in accordance with the sugges tions. Mr. Stu(Rea said this would not meet his views, and he moved us an amendment —" That in the opinion of this meeting provisions to enforce the attendance of children at school are neoenaryto any bill on the subject of educat ion." The amendment was seconded by a gentleman in the body of the room. Mr. GigiCHEN, M.P., thought that such an amendment would place Mr. Barley in a difficulty. He had read Mr. liazley's resolutions, and nothing could be more emphatic than the expressions in number five, which enforced a penalty for non-attendance. The amendment was negatived by an overwhelming majority. Mr. AUBERON HERBERT moved, and Mr. Simon seconded another amendment, which was withdrawn cm the suggestion of Mr. J. T. Hi lbert, M.P., that the follow ing feint of resolution would meet the view of all p arties : —" That the Education till Committee be requested, in conjunction with Mr. Barley, to prepare such clauses as they may consider practicable to enforce the attendance at school of neglected children, and to request him to give notice, before any education bill brought into parliament conies to a second reading, that he will introduce such clauses in committee." This was passed unanimously. Mr. 'lmre, in response to a vote of thanks, expressed a hope that when the members of the conference returned to their respective localities they would be induced by what they had heard to form local committees in support of this movement, and he could promise them on the part of Mr. Franc 6 Taylor (honoraryf mearetary) and the cheater committee committee every possible assistance. The conference then terminated. 11.sta Nuttlitstiver. EQUITY COIIIITS.—.IAs. 16. (Delete ViateAsasellor Sir W. Pees Wed) BOVOICAVIR V. WADI.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.—J Air. 16. barnßanoo.—(Befme the Lord Chief Jostles Cook , and Justiees Kellar, Shoe, and Lush.) THE QUM C. BOBK/L, CAMP, AID SHAW. Mr. fltsjansse Stephen wished to explain a statement he made yesterday in connexion with his motion for the removal of the trial of Casey and Shaw, who had been committed to Warwick gaol for trial for tresson-felony. It was made in answer to a elation from the bench, and it appeared he had hinuelf very awkwardl. It appeared that he dated the Attorney-Oeneral s aid he would leave the question in the hands of the court. What he ought to have stated was, that the Attornsy•Gansial was not disposed to say anything at present, but let it take its course, and wait until it again cams before the court. CAMPBELL e. BRIBTAPHA PAZIL PACHA. This rule was enlarged from last term. It will be re membered that the plaintiff arrested Kustapha Full , Pacts for a large amount of money for communion in negotiatinc i t: r advance of 800,000 f. on his highness's estates in t, but which was not finally completed in consequence o f his highness writing to the plaintiff inform ing him that he had made better terms. When his high ness visited this country last year with the Sultan, he had been arrested, and bail laving been subsequently given to liberate his highness, a rule was ob tained in Michaelmas term calling upon the plain tiff to show cause why the order for the erred should not be set =de on two pounds—first, that at the time of the arrest Mustapha Full Naha wee engaged on the suite of the Sultan ' • and secondly, that the order had been obtained by an improper concealment of the fact from the learned judge. Cause was also shown against the rule last term, and after hearing the learned counsel engaged in the case the rule was milarpd to this term to ascertain whether Muatapha Fasil Pasha was a member of the Sul tan's suite when be was arrested, the court not being suffi ciently satisfied upon that point by the affidavits filed and the documents produced. And they Galled upon the At- ' tornerGenersil to assist them by obtaining an affidavit if possible from H. Mumma, the Turkish Ambassador in this country. Mr. J. Browne, Q.C., and Mr. Lenyon again a for Mr. Campbell; Kr. Manisty, Q.C. and Mr. i l " urp r ri: for Mustepba Full Paella; and the A.ttiwney-Oeneral and Mr. Mennen for the crown. The Attorney-General said that in obedience to the wish of the court Lord Sta, the Foreign Secretary, had caused a letter to be isased to the Turkish Ambas sador. who bad replied by letter that the defendant was a member of the Sultan's suite, and that having given that certificate he ought not to be asked to make an affidavit. Other documents were put in wbieb stated that the de fendant was in attendance on the Sultan during his recent visit by his Majesty's command. Mr. J. Browne contended that even so the defendant was not entitled to the privilege contended for. His highness was no part of the official suite. He held no office and received no salary. He had no duties to perform. The authorities went to show that the privilege contended for did not apply to persons who had no duties to perform, and received' no fee or @slaty. A person in attendance merely on his sovereign could not be said to be a member of the official snits to whom the privilege applied. The Lord Chief Justice said the privilege was not to the individual, but had reference to the sovereign. It was well known that in state abets a great number of noblemen and high personages goo= the sovereignwho did not hold official offices. Mr. Justice Mellor—Not only judicial officers, but those who might be considered ornamental. Altar some further remarks from )Ir.Browne,a question arose as to whether Mustripha Faill Paella was dirposed to I waive his right if the rule was made absolute.° bring an action. - Mr. Manisty said he would PLC. himself in the hands of the court, and do what they wished. The Lord Chief Justice, in delivering judgment, said he was of opinion that the nib' must be made absolute, upon the ground that enough had been brought before the court to satisfy them that the defendant was in attendance upon the Sultan when he visited this country last summer. The case was not to be determined by those authorities which had been quoted by Mr. Browne, because they were only applicable to the diplomatic and household establishmenta of ambassadors to this country. It wee well known that when a foreign sovereign visited another oountiy in state it was usual for him to take with him, besides the official officers and the members of his own household properly . so called, great in personages order to add to his dignity when he presented himself to a foreign court. The Saltan did that on hie recent visit to this country, and amongst them was the defendant, and they were as fully entitled to protection as were official personages, not as a matter of right or privilege to them, but as a matter of right to the THE SOcl ETV OF ARTS AND TecuNICAL EDUCATION. sovereign they accompanied.

Gaspe oling that he would be robbed wit ness haled a cab, and pat the mate and his wife, who had rooms from Newcastle to take cars of him, ism it, sad gave the driver aria; orders not to allow any one to pt is beside them. At this moment the prisoner so coated him, and said, " You are fast, giving =oh orders." Witness said, " What do you mean!" and told him to go about his business ; bat he refused to move, sad ultimately the officer was obliged to take him to the station. On arriviog there the sergeant directed him to take out a summons spinet the prisoner. The latter, however, refused to leave the station, sad be was then locked up. Edwin Stanley, an offieer at the Shinier-easy said the primmer bad been a sailor, but he had new takes to " crimping." When a crew was paid the aide nee sur rounded by a number of lodging-house keepers, crimps, tailors, and othen who had an intenet sel6oes' money. (Laughter.) They pounced upon the ma like a lot of sharks. (Renewed laughter.) He had no doubt that the mate had been selected for the puma of being robbed. In reference to the antecedents of the prisoner, it was stated that la 1866 he had six months for stealing • weak from a man in Cannon-dreeteread. At that time he gave the name of Pallas, but his real name wee John Lyons. Since then he had been in custody for stealing a oast belonging to a sailor, whom he had induced to pall it off, for the purpose a fighting. He bad also been charged with antis vest from a potman , at the Priam Regent Ratcliffe- • way, but the prosecutor on that oeeasice did not appear 'upped of the case. He was a very danger ous character to seamen, as he got into their company sad induced them to tight, and then stole their clothes. The prisoner said he was sorry he did not go easy when the policeman told him. He bad been locked up dace 5 o'clock on the previous afternoon, and he hoped that would be °plundered sufficient prusishnient, as he was the chief witness in • summons taken out at the Thames Police- court. He had lent the mate of the William Forrest se. on the night before, and that was the moon why he spoke to the constable. The Lord Mayor—l do not believe a word you say, sad I will sand you to the House of Correction for six weeks se a rogue an d a vagabond. MEETING OF MIDDLESEX MAGISTRATE/.—A general meeting of the magistrates of the county of Middle sex was held yesterday at the Sessions-house, Clakenwell nem, for the transaction of the usual county business. hlr.ll. Forman, chairman of the court, presided, and there was • very full attendance of magistrates. The finances of the county of Middlesex.—A report was brought up from the Committee of Accounts and General Purposes, showing the expenditure of the establishments and general charges of the county during the past year. The reports of the visiting justices of the various prisons were also presented. That with respect to the House of Detention, Clerkenwell, referred to the recent outrage, and stated with regard to damage done to the prison itself, that the roofs of some of the wings and other parts have been much shaken, but the requisite re are now being done. The chairman of the court laid liefore the visiting justices • letter which he had received from the Home-office, dated the 18th ult. It said, "I am directed by Mr. Secretary Hardy to acquaint you that on his visit to the scene of the recent explosion at the Middle. sex House of Detention he was much struck by the great objection which appeared to him to exist, as .00ts both the convenience of the prison and its due secty, to the immediate contiguity of the houses in Corpention-lane, and it occurred to him that if any means could be devised for taking advantage of the present condition of these houses for remedying or modifying the objection referred to, it would be moat desirable that the lils . c; tunity should not be lost. Mr. Hardy therefore to submit this for your consideration." The visiting justices, upon full consideration of the circum stances, came to the conclusion that it would be very desi rable for the safety of the prison that the adjoining or con tiguous property, not only in Corporation-lane, but the rest, which is so near to the prison on two sides of it as to overlook, and indeed command the yards, &a., should be purchased by the county, and they submit this opinion to the court, andreoommend that the subject be taken into serious end early consideration. A latter received from the Home-office in reference to the praiseworthy exertions of Mr. Pownall, the chairman, in connexion with the late outrage at this prison, was also read. Mr. J. F. Stanford. pursuant to notice, moved that the court do adopt the report of the select committee presented at the last county day, recommending that the transportation of orivainals should be again used as • punishment for notorious offenders. Mr. B. J. Armstrong seconded the motion, the terms of which we published on • previous occasion. Captain O'Brien, as an inspector of convict establishments, said that an agreement had been entered into with the Australian colonies that no more convicts should be sent there, and although that might not apply to Western Australia, if convicts were sent there they might find their way to the other parte of Australia. Under that agreement, therefore, the government were bound, and it would be • breach of the agreement to send our felon popu lation to those colonies. Alter • few words from Mr. N. Laurie, Mr. Stanford withdrew the motion. Sir John Thwaites moved that it be referred to the Committee of Accounts and General Purl a advise the court as to the best mode of remedying the evils, as to the present mode of assessing the county rate, as to the most conve nient interval for periodic revision and what would be the best scheme for e ff ecting • simult aneous valuation by the metropolitan counties ' so as to insure each division of the metropolis bearing itsfair proportionate share of metropo litan taxation, such • course being rendered necessary by the new finance policy introduced into the Metropolis Local Management Acts, whereby the county rate is made the bead of metropolitan local taxed**. The motionwasagreed to. After the transaction of some other business of • routine character the proceedings terminated. DASTARDLY OUTRAGED IN IRELAND. —Several outrages have been recently perpetrated in the tows/land of Clontygore, situated between Dundalk and Newry. About two o'clock on Sunday morning a party of about twenty persons visited the house of Hugh firKeown, when of course the inmates were in bed. To their surprise a volley of stones was sent through the windows which were almost all smashed. They next broke the door, en tered the house, and broke the furniture and delf. The fellows, after doing what damage they could in the house, applied themselves to the destruction of a stack of oats, which they pulled down and scattered about. The next house visited was that of Francis Mallon, in which they broke the windows and window frames and finding • can near theatable, wheeled it off, and tumbled it into a stream. In Alice Jordan's house the fellows broke the windows, but did not enter. John M'Keown's house was similarly treated; the door was forced open, but no entrance was made. Terence Henlon's house escaped injury, but not his farmyard ; in it five large stacks of oats were torn down, and as much injured as possible. John Murphy's heaps was attacked, and the windows broken; two stacks of oats were thrown down in the yard. Dennis Cully's house was smashed with stones, and a small portion of wearing apparel carried out and thrown into a river. Owen Burns was still more unfortunate. The ruffians were not content with throwing down his turf stack, but entered the house and broke some of his furniture, and almost all his dell. The door and windows in the house of Daniel Clark were broken. Michael Mallon's house was broken into, and the dell and crockery utensils smashed. The houses are all situated within a very short distance of each other, and were visited within • period of about two hours. The assailants were not recognised b theinmatesof any of the houses, and the supposition Is that they must be strangers to the locality. The cause of the attack is com pletely enveloped in mystery, none of the parties whose houses were entered being able to assign the slightest reason.—Nerry laaminer. ANOTHER FENIAN ARRSKT IN DIJBLIN.—An arrest was made by officers of the detective department in Dublin on Wednesday morning which is considered of some importance. It will be remembered that daring the early part of the previous year Dennis Downey, a tailor asrrymg on busier in Trinity-street, was arrested for having a number of arms concealed in his posseesion. He was detained in custody for some time, but was sub sequently set at liberty. Be recommenced business in Dawsonatreet, but, from several matters which became known to the police authorities, it was considered neces sary to rearrest him under a warrant from the Lord-Lieu tenant. Lennon, the Fenian leader, was committed for trial yesterday, after a magieterial investigation, for high trea son. He will be arraigned at the February °amenities. He was identified several witnesses as the leader of the Fontana at St. CONTEMPLATED LAW MUMMER/fn.—WS under stand that at the annual meeting of the Faculty of Advo cates, held on Wedesday, the Lead Advocate announced his intention of indeduslag into parliament • bill far the consolidation of the acinveyancusg statutes, another Whig to the law of pemeription, and third for regu lating the procedure ef the Omen of Session.

When they were in to the relieving officer, the latter said there was no room in the house, and they gave them tid. and • loaf of bread. Witness said that 6d. was no use, and deceased said that he would not leave the house. The gentleman then took back the six pence and gave a shilling. When leaving the workhouse the man at the gate almost pushed deceased out. They went to a lodging-house in Golden-lane (kept by a blind man, and mewed by • servant girl 14 years old.), where hey sot for 9d. Deceased could hardly eat ;at the he was so ill that he could hardly sit um?: chair. They remained all day, Friday, at the hers, and witness borrowed a shilling from her brother to pay for the acoommodation. On the Saturday morning she found demand dead in the bed. She went to the work house and asked for • coffin, but it was not sent until I I Tuesday. One of the gentlemen, however, said, " Let her lave 25.," and then afterwards said " Give her half a I mown," but they pee her only 2s. Witness thought de eteased's death was mostly ceased by the exposure and the want of food, especially while waiting at the workhouse on Mee Thursday. 'Thursday, Friday, and Saturday were very said days. Mr. James Messer, assistant relieving officer of St. Luke's, deposed that the Coleman' came before the re lieving officers, at 7 o'clock on Thursday evening. They asked for relief, and said nothing about going into the house. Witness gave the woman 6d. and a loaf, and told her to come again in the morning. She made n o objection, and was going away quite satisfied, when be called her back and gave her • shilling, because three people could not have got a bed for 6d. On Saturday he gave her 2a. 6d. Be had no recollection of any one saying any- I this( shout 2a. Tbe sum entered on the book was Is. 6d. Ile believed the deceased's body was fetched from the iseging-house on Monday.

But we ave more than 350 applicants • day, and we are witho h ut eating any bung ourselves the whole day while dealing with the cases. A - Juror—Yee ; but you commence after a good meal , while these people begin their nine hours' fast upon empty stomachs. Mr. T. W. George, relieving officer, did not recollect much of this case, as he bad more than 400 cases on Thurs day. On Saturday he gave the order for the coffin at once when applied to, and he did not know why it was not acted on. Be was sorry to admit that it was quite possi ble that an applicant might have to wait from half-past nine in the morning till seven at night before being seen to, owing to the great number of cases. Another officer had been just appointed, but he had not yet entered on bin duties. Mr. Robert Bruce, parish surgeon, said that he was called in to see the deceased after death. The post-mor ten examination eh owed that death had resulted from effusion of serum on the brain, accelerated or caused by exposure to cold and want of nourishment. The body was generally healthy. Mrs. Coleman, recalled, stated that she informed the workhouse people at the gate that they wanted to go into the house, and not to get relief. Deceased could hardly walk when going away, and the man pushed him. lie was very ill. She was sure she only got 2m, and not 2s. tid. on Saturday. Dr. Brace said that he had sent a man in incipient fever, at 7 o'clock in the evening, with an order to the workhouse. The man at the gate slammed the door in the man's face, and said he was if he would admit him at that hour. The sick applicant said he would com plain to the relieving officer, when the gateman What the devil do I care for the relieving officer." Ile (Dr. Bruce) of mune was not present at this scene, but the man come back with the order, dreeehing wet horn the rain, and said that he could get no access to the re lieving caws. Mr. Messer said that the gateman in question was an in mate, and he would be reported to the board. Paupers were always the hardest and the wont in dealing with other paupers. Mrs. Coleman would admit that the officials of the house treated her and her husband with respect. Witness did not see that deceased was ill, and he heard nothing of the application to be taken into the workhouse. The coroner having summed up, The jury returned a verdict " That the deceased died from extravasation of serum on the brain, from exposure to cold and want of nourishment." WESTMIBSTER ABBEY A ROYAL PALACE, At the Westminster police-court, yesterday, Messrs. Poole and Tyler, the former a mason, and the latter • builder , inWeettnuister, were summoned by Mr. J. Tolley, district surveyor, for an offence under the Metro politan Building Act. Mr. Philbrick, barrister, represented the Board of Works; and Mr. Edward Vaughan Richards nominally for the defendants, but in reality fo r the dean Z e r d hapter of Westminster. Mr. Philbrick, in opening the case, stated that the sum monses were taken out by Mr. Tolley, charging the de• fendanta that they did do certain work within the district of St. Margaret's and the Close of St. Peter's,Westminster, without giving due notice to the district surveyor, as required by the 38th chapter , secti on 122, of the 1$ and P 1 Victoria. The facts were not in dispute, but the question that would be raised was whethe r the abbey was a royal palace or place intended for the use end service of the sovereign. If so, it would be exempted under the act of parliament. A pipe for heating part of the abbey had been placed too close to the roof of the Jerusalem Chamber, and as the venerable pile was considered to be endangered by it. as well as for the interests of justice, these proceedings were commenced twoor three months ago, and fully argued yesterday. Mr. Arnold said, in adjourning the matter sine die, that so important a question should rather form the subject matter of proosodings in a superior than in a police court. MARKETS.
