Rice) to postpone his motion respect ing the Chief Baron of Ireland (O'Grady) till the neat session, es Mete was nut sufficient time now for its proper investigation. The motile Lord adverted to what hail already b,:eit dune to pro mote sufficient enquiry on the subject. Set real documents and reports had already lie. n printed, era were in the hand,' of niembere, but he had been unable to look through the papers as yet, su far as to take them into cuusiileration. Under these circumstAmei s he requested that the motion might be postponed. Mr. S. RICE said lie only wished to du what was consistent .with the justice of the cue, and the dignity of the aitioinistra. thin of justice. It might be charged that an individual on the bens+ bad a serious allegation kept over his head ; but if such charge were preferred, lie trusted that it would not he levelled against taint. Ile was 'mewed to go into the present question, but after what had been said he could not think of inging it during the present session. lie, however, could not as old re marking. that it was the duty of Government, they thought thej bail auy duties to perform, to watch over the pure admi nistration of justice. Ile should certainly bring lot want the subject caul in the nest session, if the Guvernment iii the metal time did not institute 'Holier investigation and steps. .CALCiI'TrA BANKERN.—Mr. BROLGIIANI rose to move that the petition of Mr. Pendergast ou accuunt of certain Calcutta hailers shonld he referred to a select committee, to esuntine into the allegations of the same. II concerned certain tome, and the demands hail berm resisted by the Governor-General, who said that it would establish the precedent fur listening to many similar claims. He concluded with musing for a coin- Milne accordingly. The t• occasioned a desultory debate cf some hours duiation, iu w !deli fir. N 1 enteral, Mr. Hume, Mr. P. Moore, Mr. Pendergast, &c. took part. The House then divided, and there appeared—For the motion, 62 -agaiust it, 39—majority in far our of die motion, .13. The committee was then appointed. On the older of the day for the second reading of the lemur reetieo Act, Sir H. IN ILSON said he would not oppose the bill going a stage, on condition that no debate was taken on the question at this late hour, but that a debate should be taken on the question fur the 'speaker less ing the chair. Mr. COL LEL RN acceded to this proposition : the bill was read a second time, mud committed fur Monday, wily. tot under standing dolt it should come on rally that day Mr. PEEL postponed the sliacussion co the Police Bill to a future day. The other urders of the day were disposed of, and the House adpurned, FRIDAY. !FLY S. Mr. Quarme, the leonlienE:iiierof the Black Rod, sum moned the House to attend in the House of Lords to hear the r int! assent given by commission to sundry public and private Lords report.) Mr. Alderman WOOD presented a petition from inhabitants is the parishes of Hornsey and Finchley against the Ilighgate Chapel Bill. If the bill were pressed he should resist it, And divide the House on it. Mr. BROUGHAM trusted that the bill would not he pressed forward now. The foundation lead ample means; it uas aini richly endowed than the school at liarruw. The bill was really of • pnblin nature. .Mr. BING said; when his turn came he should move the second reading of the bill.—Petitiou read. Mr. CALVERT presented a similar petition from Holloway and Kentish Town. Mr. BYNG soon afterwards moved the second reading of the Highgate Chapel Bill. Mr. HUME was su;prised that this motion was made. As it was pressed, he should move, as ate amendment, that the bill be read a snood time this day six months. The fonds were fell to maintain a grammar school, and to divert them to the building of a chapel was a misappropria►ion. Besides, there was a suit pending in the Court of Chancery on the subject; that ought first to be decided. The rental was between T cid WI. a year. He depended on the justice of the House not to interfere with the course of justice. He concluded with mosiug an amendment, that the bill be read a recond time this day six mouths. Mr. Alderman WOOD also opposed the bill. This bill was brought in • second time, which was contrary to the general practice of ►he House; and in favour of it they had not yet heard one word. He wished the bill to be postponed till uext session. A clergyman might be maintained—but at present the sexton and grave digger were the only teachers of the boys. Sir J. GRAHAM declared that this hill was not to take away the juristFetion of the Court of Chancery; and in that be said the truth, which had not yet been spoken on this subject. He was snakier' for religions instruction, therefore he supported this bill ; be had read the Bishop of Lotedou's letter. The chapel had lung been maintained. It was in proof that the clergyman had married in the chapel, and done every act in it calculated to case the mother church. Sir R. WILSON wished to know, if certain persons al Highgate were anxious to build a rhapel by their subscriptions, why they desired to seize on the charitable funds? A derman HEYGATE said, the object of the (mender was to establish a grammar school ; and as fur as he wide - tamed the hell, it was diametrically opposed to what lee deemed to have been the intention of the founder. Mr. BROUGHAM opposed the hill. He always looked with suspicion at both Houses interfering with private properly ; if all the mystery of ',finite hills wee unfolded, arch • scene would he opened as would frighten both Houses and disgust the country.-- Hear ! ) The ATTORNEY GENERAL opposed the motion, thinking Chet the House was not the proper place in which to decide the question involved in the bill. Mr. BYNG supported the bill. M.. W ;THREAD said be could ant support the bill.

BROLGII.AIII, (on our re-entering the House, was on his lege, declaring) when Ike hill next came forward be should expose the system of private bill jobbing. Mr. CALCRAF I' was surprised at this libellons insinuation. The subject of a preceding night (the Calcutta Bankers' l'eti lion) was much more Noce ntsful from the solicitations of an hon. gentleman, than from all the eloquence, nit, and s.. calm of the learned member.—(l leer! ) The bill was thee read a second time, and ordered to be committed, HVIISI A ASE.—Sir J. MACINTOSH enquired whether the Ministers had received the copy of a Russian Lkase re ►pecting the extravagant pretensions of the Court of Rossia regarding certain claims of the sea towards the American coast ? Lord LONDON DERRY replied that such copy haul been received. The English government haul protested against the principle of the Ukase, at the save time stating the readiness of his Majesty's ofinisters to promote amicable uegociations on the subject. Mr. AV. SMITH moved that an artier of the Court of Ex chequer respecting Extents in Aid be printed.—Ordered. Mr. Ali BUItINOT moved that the House go into a Com mittee of Supply. On the question having been put, Mr. BERN A ad erted to the distresses in 1 reland. 150,0001. had been voted; between 400,000 and 500,000 persons were ill It slats Of utter stars anion, and they ought to adopt no mea sures till effectual repel' wa. affirdt l to Ireland. Ile now wished to know whether the Co% rament intended to do any thin 4 more ? Mr. COL LBURN said, tart the sums already given by the House to promote work amongst the poor bad been effectual. He thought the measures already to►en by the House and the Government would go a great way to accomplish the objects Mr. 1). BROWNE said, provisions were never more cheap than now In Ireland ; indeed Ireland had to complain of super abundance ; and yet at that moment cargoes of provisions were sent thither. Also, corn and provisions were exported from Ireland to England. Ile did not very well uuderstatid nil the arena of these transactions. Mr. V. FITZGERALD was hurt that the Right Hon. Gentle 1113t1 should step forward at such a time to throw a doubt as to the alleged distress iu Ireland. The distress had been under stated. After some remarks from Sir J. Newport, Stc. the House re solved itself into the Committee of Supply. blr.All UUTHN 01' Moved the first resolution—that 700,0001. be granted to meet the Army Extraordinaries. The Committee were aware that considerable redactions had taken place ; however, he should give env explanation that might be required. Mr. 11101 E said, lie did not mean to deny that considerable reduction* had taken place. Savings had hero effected. lie also complimented the imposed mode of making the charges regarding the Colonies ; but in the Colonies great retrenchments were required. The system pursued towards the Caudal; was peculiarly bad. The hon. gentleman entered at length into a review of the items of expenditure, constituting the proposed vote of 700,0001. for the Army Ettraurdinsries. He psi-lieu lady commented on the salaries paid to the agents in the colo nies, and proposed to reduce the agent at the Cape 5001. at the Mauritus the same sum, at Ceylon 12001. at the luntan Islands 5031: and at various* others of the colonies, so as to make the v.hule cednetion on this head, 60001. and he mused ell amend ment to that effect. Mr. WILMOT opposed the proposed reduction, as 111C011116- tent with the public , . services. Mr. ARBUTHNOT also defended the estimates as they at present stood, and observed, that whoever had the honour of submitting the estimates next year, wuold have further reduc tions to propose.

The Lord Chancellor came into court at ten o'clock. REDUCED FIVE PER CENTS. His Lordship observed, that the day had passed by for the sailors holding an interest in the 5 pet Cen:s. in that Court, to dissent from their bring reduced ; therefore, on all the applics tiuus to be made to the Court fur the payment out of any ruin of money that had aloud in the 5 per Cents., it must be matte as stendinz in the 4 per Ceuta. He could feel obltjed to the WI.. in wordiu; and order to that effect, if they now.' l!ive Mist their asatialance, /0 as it might be properly di%olu pp. HABEAS CORP(.3 Mr. Callen moved for two writs ofJJalteas Corpus, to being up ou Tuesday two persons who were in custody. Ti, e loird Climicellor.-11 by are those applications made to met Before my time the prnetitiouers of this Court never thought of making such applications here. The Legislature, for the purpose of relieving tins Court and the Court of king's Beach, passed au act lately, to enable any one of the to else Judges to issue such writs, and bear and determine them at chainbeis. There err nine Judges now in town unemployed, and why are not these applications made to them? their being made to me is only defeating the intention of the Legislature.--, I cannot refuse snub applications mlien they are In: de to me ; fur if I did, I should be liable to a penalty of 5001. for each rerusal, and also he incapacitated, as lung as I lived, from holding any ollice under his Mejesty. 3lr. Culleis.—Then your Lordship will allow the writs to be returnable on Thursday newt The Lord Chancellor.—l have no option ; I cannot refu..e the applications ; but if they are continued to be made to me, I shall consider it my duty to apply to the Legislature to adopt some measure for the purpose of carrying the iuteution of thi it act into effect. TILE LIEEE uP BEDFORD V. TIIE TRUSTEES OF VIII siOsvcts. The Attorney General asked the Lord Chancellor, c holier his Lordship would be ready to proceed with this ease un Saturday next ? The Lord Chancellor said, be had sent to\the Master of it Rolls to inquire if his Honour would find it coilltenient to favour hint with his assistance on that day. TNUM•S V. TROTTER. Mr. Ti otter was again brought up to-day by Roberts Corpora in custody of the Marshal of dio King's Bench, for the purpose of being heard upon his petition, complaining of irregularities attentlin; his committal under an attachment for contempt of of court, in not answering the proceedings against him on the part of the plaintiff ; and praying tlvit be might be relieved from such attachment, as he was unable to pay Ibe costs and have it act aside in the usual way. . . . The Lord Chancellor prononneed his decision at some length, and said that when a party cane into a court of equity to make a complaint against another, he ought, in order to entitle himself to the favour of the court, to come in with clean hands. The petitioner, therefore, before lie complained o: the i regula rities of others, ought to show that he was himself regul:tr ; and ought not to expect to use the authority of the Court against such other persons, whilst he was acting in disobedience to that authority himself. With respect to the petitioner's inability from want of funds to purge himself in the usual way, Lc was sorry for it ; but that was only a suhject for the consideration of the other party, and not of the judge, who was hound to act according to the law. Under all the circumstances, his Lordship felt it his duty to dismiss the petition ; but would reserve the question of costs in the hope of its leading to something advan tageous to the parties. THE CASE Or PRISCILLA STREET, A WARD OF COVRT. Mr. Home recalled to his Lordship's recollection an injunc tion granted by the Court last term, restraining the infant's mother and a young man named Horatio Reeves, of Exeter. from having any intercourse with the infant. He (Mr. Horne) had now to move for the committal of those parties; for • MM. tempt of Court in disobeying such injunction. The learned counsel then read a number of affidavits, from which it appeared, that notwithstanding that the order of the Court had been served upon the parties, the defendant, Horatio Reeves, who is a drug gist, and the son of a pawnbroker at Exeter. contrived, with the assistance of his brother George, (from whom the former is pereonAly distinguished by a cast in his eye), and with the mother's permission, to carry off the infant ; the mother having declared that her daughter should marry the defendant in spite of them all, or she would be d—d if she would not shoot her; and the defendant hiving stated, when served with a notice. f rom the plaintiff's solicitor, of the infant having been made • hard of court, that that (the notice) was only something for him to laugh at. His brother, also, un being cautioned against the con sequences of such an affair, treated it with levity, saying, that if committed, he could get the rules of the Fleet; or if not, lie would give them the slip. It appeared from the affidavits, that the fugitives proceeded from a public-house called the Flower ing; in a car, as far as Tannton, and thence by the stage to Bristol, where they were to have gone on board the Guernsey packet, the defendant's brother George hawing engaged the after-cabin for their accolutuodat;on. But it was not stated in the affidavits, or at least so much of them as was read by the learned counsel, what had since become of the parties. The Lord Chancellor said lie would first grant an order for the parties, namely, the infant's mother, Horatio Reeves, and his brother George, to attend this Court ; as it would not be riulit to commit them in the first instance, before they were afforded an opportunity, if they chose to avail Themselves of it, of be ing heard. Should it be found impossible to serve the defend ants. H. and C. Reecea, with a copy of this order, he would then consider service at their father's house suffioient. .. But," said his lordship, 6. take care that the old lady dues not coma iutu court with tire arms."—(Laughter.) COURT OF KING'S BENCH. • TiltlngPaY, lt:t.Y 4. TEARY v. COULD. The plaintiff in this ease was a child of nine or ten years of age, who by his guardian, sought to recover damages for an assault, in which ilia thigh was broken. It appeared in evi dence, that the little boy, with ten or twelve other children, was playing in an empty waggon of the defendant, when he came up and called out to them to desist. The plaintiff was attempting to get out at the hack of the waggon, when the de fendaut took bold of hint by the leg to pull hint down ; upon which he fell upon a heap of bricks and fractured kis thigh. Gould, at first, seemed to suppose that the accident bad hn n occasioned by some one throwing a stone; but on the child saying that it was caused by himself, he eipressed his surprise, said that be did not intelid it, and called to another lad to con. %ey hint home, and to take care not to hurt blip. A medical gentleman proved Ire extent of the injury, and that its probable effect would be a zontraction of the limb during life. 31r. Searlett addressed the jury for the plaintiff on the griev ous nature of the injury ; end Mr. Nolan, for the defendant, contended that the misfortnne was purely accidental, and that the justice of the case woidd be satisfied by very moderate damages: The find Chief Justice, filer stating the imbalance of the evidence, observed, that it was clear the defendant never in tended to do the serious injury complained of ; but that still the plaintiff was entitled to some moderate recompense. In this action, the jury could not take into consideration the surgeon's bill, as the father, and not the son, would be liable to pay it. The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—Daniuges Inf. In order to prevent litigation, it was agreed that the amount of the surgeon's charges, O. sa, should he added, end that furtli,er proceedings should be stayed. Tue verdict, therefore. was taken for iiii. Si.
