This day, at half-past eleven o'clock, we bad the plea sure of witnessing the ceremony of laying the first stone of the Column to be erected to the memory of Wolfe and Montcalm. The site chosen is inside the garden gate in Carriere-street. The spat at present forms part of the private garden of the Chateau ; but the platform on which the pronument will stand, will be as open as ;he street itself. A square space, level with the street, will be enclOsed. in which the obelisk will stand, pro tected by an iron railing. . . The troops of the garrjson, under the command of Colonel Nicol, 66th regiment,paraded attleven o'clock, forming a double line from the. Chateau to the base of the glacis near the louse of Mc. Hale. Through this his Excellency and his Staff, the Gentlemen of, the Committee, Membere.of Council, lee. advanced to the spot; !iskilkthe I.llmonic procession arrived by the way of the larifen, the bind of the 66th playing. The Countess of Dallonsie and seieral Ladies reached the spot by the satire aPproach,thretigh lines of Ma sonic brethren in full dress. His .Excellency stated the object of. the ceremony, and was followed by Dr. Mills. The Masonic ceremonies then took place, his Excellencpperforming• the office of founder. But one' of the most interesting parts of the ceremony was the request made by hii Lordship to Mr. Thompson, the only living witness present of the death of Wolfe, to give the slime mystic blows of the hammer, which the artisan, who, at 93, is more active than many men at 70, did with a firtnland. Dr. Harkness then offered up a prayer. The ceremony fi nished with a jest de joie by.the garrison, and by three British cheers. On the return of his Excellency, be took post at the Chateau Guardhouse, when the Regiment Marched by in ordinary time, and saluted him, is their way to their time that ..___ , and to be hoped that by the verdict of this Jury it si be pet an end to for ever. It was the nature and s h of a Corporation to usurp, and to attempt every possia mode of exaction, in the hope of being able at last to get some evidence of usage. This was the origin of this most gross and unwarrantable claim on the part of the Corporation of:Cambridge. The question was not new to him, for he often had occasion to consider such claims before. It was not true, that even for twenty ,years past the Corporation of Cambridge had levied a consistent and uniform toll . ; and the sort of shreds and patches of evidence-of tolls which they produced, signie fled nothing. The Corporation of Cambridge set up twe claims ; first, they deqsanded a toll for pa ssag e over a certain bridge ; and 2dly, they 'demaad a toll lot certaie carts end cattle passing along a ceetain street; so that *ateliers two tolls —one for the bridge and the other foie the street ; and if one was due, then both were trues Bet there was no evidence whatever of the hafge tolls being due. Buppows Mr..Ftsher had not chosen teems- _ test this demand of a bridge toll, why thin they might have gone on,and have got some colour of usage; but when-the action was brought, then their own evidence put an end to their claim of bridge toll. Then, as to the street toll, their claim, the Jory would observe, was for toll on bricks, brought into the town of Cambridge, for the use of the inhabitants; and not bricks metely carried through the town ; and their demand was per cart-load. This claim they found, first, on Ctowo Grants; and, secondly, by an immemorial usage. Considering the value of money at that time, as compared with. the present, the very magnitude of the claim was decisive evidence that it nevar could have been legal, either with respect to the inhabitants of Cambridge or the public ; but, at present, he had only to do with nett-loads of arti cles brought into the town for the use of the inhabitants. Now long-continued possesiion was the best evidence of right; but then it ought to. be viewed with reference to the nature of the circumstances. For instance, in the case of an individual, the usage might be interrupted by minority, or lunacy, or the estate might be in the bandit of a married woman, or an extravagant spend thrift, or of a tenantfor life. who might not think it .worth his while to cootest his tight, or spend his money in litigating a mattfr, which was to him, individually, of small coosideren. In cases of usage, allowarsce was to be made for such circumstances. But a Cor horation was not liable to these defects vs' Copts' ation ad, to be sure, no conscience; but then it'llsd legator talky ; it *as subject to ,no minority—no Tunacy—no old agento marriage ; and therefote when themanse en the groundok usage, they must be held to a,aisparous proof of the constancy and continuity of that . tasage. A Jury . ought not to.be satis fi ed with a modern usage, nor with Imcient usage either, unless it Wipe* . to be "strictly consistent With ., modern usage. In l'he &rat ry of, their leases in 1612, there was an obliteration, aid they ought not to be allowed to manufacture evi denee for_therruelves. 'Another circumstance With re spect to a Corporation was obvious, not metely to law. yers, but to every man of common sense. When iwo individuals had to contest together for a right or privi lege,ably might - meet on equal termi; the parse oftthe one might be as long as the purse of the other. But the -case was widely .different when an individual• had to contend with a Corporation : and it was hardly to be expected that an individual should, as against thens,Te. sist an occasional exaction of. two or three pence, when even in case of success, he would be visited with extra costs. A Corporation had a common puise, and, even if they lost their cause, the expence would not• cost each individual the loss of a single dinner. A- farther would not rashly resist the payment of twopencW•or threepence in six months, with the knowledge tharif he did resist, his goods might be immediately takenrind twenty shillings levied from them • and such 'was 'the foundation of the usurpation of dorporationa. It teas but rarely that such exactions were resisted. "'PO!' in stance, the Corporation *of Newcastle-on-TYne,, for whom, as well as for the people of Northumberland generally, he felt the highest esteem, and even affection, had for cepthries made an undue exaction, and might have continued it to this day, if they had not come into collision with the Corporation of London, by whose ex ertiOns the duty was seduced to one hell. The usage of WCorporation ought to be watched with the utmost vigilance; but what sort of usage had they here is contest? An usage of granting leases of tolls, without the slightest schedule of what ought to be levied, lea,. ing the farmer to levy whatever he could get ; and this was their twenty year s usage! That fact :shine was pregnant with suspicion. 'There were three ways in which a Corporation could levy tolls. First, by Act of Pathas ment,for which there was no pretence ; secondly, for per mission to pass over one's lands—for instance, if an indi vidual should possess an estate,which it would be remark ably convenient for his neighbours to pass over, he might contract with them for liberty to pass over his lands, upon payment of a certain rate foe that privi lege. This 'was the origin of tolls taken by usage, • and the usage Was evidence of that sort of contract. The third species of toll was that which was exigible, in consideration of repairing a highway, and this liberty had been often allowed by Crown grants, which in ancient times were charters and privileges granted, by the King in Parliament, and were equal to Acts of Parliament.. That was called a toll thorough ; and then to take's by-shot at his Learned Friend's toll tra verses, he had endeavoured to thew that rich atoll, after the time of legal memory, tielon;ed, to dse king, and by that means he contradicted has own evidence, the nature of which was, that sincc,the time .of legal memory that toll had belonged to,the Corporation.
