This was an action brought by the plaintiff to re cover the sum of £l6B for medical attendance on. is Lady named Wilson, who had been under the earl and protection of the late Mr. Johnson, architect, Berner's-street. Mr. Serjeant CC/I'l.El', in stating the case, said, tha the Lady in question had unfortunately been subjje c to frequent fits of insanity, and that the plaintiff ha been called in - to administer relief, by Mr. Johnson, The Lady had been removed to Camden Town, ani' Mr. Johnson fearing the effectsof a straight waists coat, expressed a wish to have some other means des vised for preventing her injuring herself. Accord., irgly an iron cage had been furnished, which coat 1..:15 17s. and, for which Dr. Thornton had paid. The defendant, who was one of the executors of Mr. John. son, had no objection to the payment of the money, but felt bound to take the opinion of the Court Upon it, as his co-executors, who were dead, did not think the claim a just one; all, therefore, that he wished for was strict justice. The Learned Counsel was awace that under the circumstances of the present case as physician could not recover the amount of his fees, but still he •would be entitled' to a verdict for the amount of the iron cage. He called James Pinion, who had furnished the cage, and who supported thei plaintiff's case, as far as the furnishing the work in question. • . . Mr. John Lees, Surgeon, bore testimony to the fairness of the Plaintiff's charge. Mr. LAWS cross-examined the witnesses, and ad dressed the Jury on behalf of the Defendant. lie said the present action was not brought against the per son with whom the original contract had been entered• law, and the question was, had the Plaintiff a right to recover? Ile called Captain, Richards, who proved that he 'saw Mr. Thompson give Dr. Thornton a check for 1.:50, in the early part of November, but deposed thht nothing was said about the iron cage. The sum then paid was for fees. Serjeant COPLEY said the sum in question was paid in the early part of the month of November, but the Plaintiff attended his patient up to the latter end of that month, and for which attendance the sum in d question was claimed. The Learned Judge observed it was clear that the check had been given in liquidation of the fees, and to the plaintiff was therefore entitled to the £l5. 17s. as Ir. it was quite a different transaction.—The Jury re ar'. turned a verdict accordingly. • There is no doubt that various changes are imme diately to take place in the Law Department in Scot land. It has bren currently reported, for some days, that the LORD ADVOCATE is to 'succeed to the two gowns vacant by the death of Lord ItEs - roN. In the event of this appointment taking place, it is generally understood that the Learned Lord's gown will be offered to the SOLICITOR GENERAL Or Sir WILLIAM Ras, though v:e have heard that both these Learned Gentlemen decline. Mr. HOME DECNI MOND wile, of course, be Solicitor-General in the event of Mr. WEDDERSORN'S accepting the office of Lord Advo cate. Several resignations and many alterations are confidently talked of in the Law Circles. It is said, among others, that the present Egh!y respected CHIEF 'Linos will for certain retire, or. accOuri of his con ; rilised indisposition. The LORD ADVOCATE Baron Ncisrow, add Baron ADAM , are said to be candidates to succeed him. It is, however, pretty generally be lieved that Mr. ADAM will be stirpoinred•tThief Baron, I and that he will be succeeded as Sorel Chief Corn • rnissioner of the Jury Court bytord reildlLLl. *f ir L Ae. • • PARLIAMENrARY PROCEEDINGS. • HOUSE OF LORDS, MAY 4 - ~I ' After the Bills upon the table, which were cbiefy private or local, were respectively forwarde d,: . - The Scots Jury Omrts' Bill was returned from the•Corranallt by Mr. 13rlocins and others, with the actiuLiscince* o( tb House to the same. .

PART ELI. moved for Accounts rotative to Transfets of Stock of the Banks of England apd Ireland.—The motion was agreed to. SILL WEAVILIte RELIEF BILL. Mr. P. MOORE begged to call the attention of the House to the present condition of the Silk Wea vers of Coventry, and the neighbOuring Parishes in the County of Warwick. On their extreme distress. he thought it unnecessary to enlarge before those who had read the evidence produced to the Committee 'appointed to inquire into this interesting subject dur ing the last Session of Parliament. 1 wished to observe, that, notwithstanding their misery had been so great, no act of insubordination bad occurred in that district. The Chancellor of the Exchequer had last year thought the sufferers entitled to allearing, and now that all that was then stated had been proved, and their case completely made out, he con sidered himself entitled more than ever to the sup port of the Right Honourable Gentleman. He then read from the'Minutes taken before the Committee certain passages to prove that their conduct under the most trying circumstances bad been highly praiseworthy. . He wished his constituents to be en couraged, and enabled to follow their own inclina tions, by establishing Saving Banks; but unless the House would assist by favouring his plan for reliev.: ing the sufferers, (assisted they must be, or the whole city would perish,) he feared it v.roulebe impossible for them to act on the recommendation of the Com mittee on the Poor Laws in that respect; for such was their necessity, that the funds of the littloSaving. Bank that had been formed among them were com pletely exhausted, with the exception of 'f:2o that re mained, and the funds of the Friendly Societies . which had been established had shared the same fate. The Ribbon-weavers had been for a period of four years suffering the most heart-rending privations, owng to receiving a rate of wages mil merely f- fic i ent for the support of a family, but inadequinsu ate to 1 , the maintenance of an individual. Not being Ale to endure the sufferings consequent upon these la mentable prices, in the month of September, 1816, they with one voice called upon the niasters for re. dress, who promised to take their grievances into consideration, and shortly afterwards entered into and subscribed a positive agreement to conform to such a list of prices as should be determined upon by three persons appointed by the Masters and tliree by the Weavers. These six persons were nominate& by the respective parties, and accordingly they met,' and speedily agreed upon a Price List, which they subscribed. Notwithstanding this solemn engage ment, the Masters only conformed to the List about three weeks, and then wholly departed from it. Now some of the same parties came as Petitioners to the House, praying that the Act passed for the regula tion of the Silk Weavers of Spitalfields may be ex tended to them, so as to make agreements like that of 1816 binding on both parties. This was what he wished to accomplish by the Bill he desired to bring in. An idea had gone abroad, that he wished to establish a maximum and a minimum of prices; bat no such words would be found in his Bill, the object. of which Was simply what be had stated it to be. At present, the Silk Weavers were- obliged to work 93 hours a week for a miserable pittance, not equal to t h e m aintenance of an individual . One class .fer., working that number of hours obtained ten shilling per week. This was paying them, for four liouse,; work, and hard work it was; about two-pence hatf- 1 penny. A second class obtained but five 'shillings and six-pence per-week—and a third could get no more than three shillings and nine-pence. Such , were the sums paid to the workmen, while many of their employers reali7,ed immense -profits. lie, re peated it, the Petitioners must ia - some way 'have re lief afforded ; and an advance 'of a fraetiOn of one farthing per yard on the since:hick they manufac tured would be sufficient to.relieve the distress. present, the workmen, instead of being-maintained; .by their wages, were supported out of tf;,e Pool- l e' Rates. This was a state of things which or ht not to continue. He next noticed the distressing and dir. graceful:scenes arising from the system of employing' what were called lixtf-pv Apprentice. • These had but half of their earnings to subsist upon- Some were relieved by the Parish, and some were not; and the au:fortunate females employed in the trade had! 3.1; equently nu resource but prostitution to pvocure • • - ••• ~'~- 7' 1 - J , • . •1. , eA, . y. •,...,., . .. 4 0 • rrrN c A. ___-....:..-..,--o. ............... . was one of • , 1.
