JURISDICTION OF THE ECCLF.SIASTICAL COURT. (FROM Till NUR%VICII MiIiCURT.) It if one of those facts attending the progress of society, that power conferred in the earlier and darker ages remains where and as it was bestowed, until some strong example of its pernicious exercise shows the possible effect of such a misappropriation of authority, and thus works its destruc tion. Such, we hope and trust, will be the event of a case which has recently occurred in Norfolk, and which we are now about to narrate. It will certainly, we understand, be brought ander the consideration of the Legislature in the next Session, as a sufficient ground for the revision of that part of our code which respects such offences. In this district, from the benevolent disposition of the amiable pre late who presides, from the character of the officers, down to the very lowest, we have the best assurance such disposi tion and such character can give, tbatevery process coining under the cognisance of the Ecclesiastical Court would be prosecuted with the most scrupulous integrity and with the utmost leoity.llsis is so well knovro,tbat it will be acknow ledged instantly and spontaneously by all our readers.— What, then, mast be the nature and principle of those laws under which an injustice so flagrant, and perpetrated by such agents as we shall describe, can be committed, and when men so amiable and so upright as the good Bishop of our diocess and the officers of his Court can be made the unwilling instruments of such a legal injury? What evil, what misery might be brought upon individuals by such powers. if exercised by men of an opposite temper and precipitate in their judgments? But to the facts. The religious society of Methodists is divided into certain classes of different denominations, and to each a class leader is appointed. He solemn l y takes upon himself the care of his class, and engages to admonish any of them concerning their moral aberrations. A person in a Tillage' in Norfolk thus situated, beard that the daughter of one of his class was cohabiting with a married man, the father , of a large family. The class leader privately urged upon' his friend the duty of endeavouring to put an end to such a cimaexion. The man exhorted his daughter to quit a course so grossly immoral, who, it is presumed, corn. municated the fact to her seducer. Inflamed by the representation, he one Sunday awaited, the return of thel class leader from meeting, and assailed him io the bitterest langsage. 'l'he daughter of the class leader, a girl of most excellent character, in service in the neighbourhood, interposed ia ber father's behalf; the anger, of the ag- 1 I gressor was turned against her, and he abused her in terms' alike indeceut and undeserved. The next morning, this girl while at work before the door of her master's house, perceived the woman who was the cause of the previous dispute; in the road, accompanied by another. An alter cation eosued, and it is probable much ill language passed on both sides. This woman, the accused, shortly after en tered the house of a man in the neighbourhood, a relation of the class leader,whom she supposed to have some share in pro- moting the admonition she had received, and reviled him in the presence of his wife and family so violently, that lie was compelled to tarn her - out, but he positirely denies having used any abusive language towards ber. Soon after the daughter of Vie clAss-leader, and the man last mentioned, were suiumoned to appear before the Ecclesias tical Court,•oo a Marge of defamation. All these dream .s:ances, occurred in the .middle .of the year 1821. She attended the court many times at a distance of 12 m les from het home, for examination. This examination, it pee," was conducted by her ju,lgeo. The acessers and the accused were never confronted. Such Is the: pretties of the court. In this way the was convicted or,d4aination and ordered to pey 151 Fet-thetie tees• ibe was *tested about the middle,of 1823, and carried IS Asseich Mask. for the debt. The aim (tier relation) was coavieted, and ertlered totay a sumbl23l., Ter whith tirraiss - atreate..l,. and thrown into prison. The evi.icnce upon which these persons were coovicted, Mbe PRICK SRVP,N pgNeE. is understood to have been , the woman a.!cused —I womatA who had an illegitimate child by the brother of the accused —and a third female, who had been imprisoned *for dis-, orderly cinduct. The case was msde known to persons who undertook ti inquire into the circumstance., and who, finding it to be exactly as we have.stated, hot nevertheless conducted ac cotding to the strictest forms of law, paid the debts, li brewed the prisoners, and intend to bring . the revision of The law under the consideration of Parliament. We ought rthaps to add, that the Proctor employed by the accu.ets oiered to comptomise for a small sum ; but this compro mise, the partici, from a sense of the injustice (and perhaps not anticipating the result), refused to accept. In snela a case it appears to as to be highly desirable, that there should be some pnblie, some central expression of abhorrent feeling ; and we venture to suggest that a auhscription, not to exceed Is., (or sa. at most) from eaclt contributor, which has been already begun for payment of the sums, be opened to the country, in order to mark the detestation in which such powers can lint, he held by every upright mind. This is no question of party, nor advanced f..r . party purpo'ses, but for general rights and general goad. We therefore hOpe to see the gentlemen of the county stand . forward and join in the reprobation of a. transaction upon which there can be but one opinion. TILE NEW COURTS AT. WESTMINSTER. --goisee • The building of 'the new Courts of Law and Equity is consiglirably advanced. They extend in a line along the northern side of Westminster Hall. At the western es tresnity is situate the Court of. Chancery; the Vice Ch gn eellor's Court stands next ; and then follow the Concs of Common Pleas, Exchequer. and King's Bench, the last forming the eastern end.—They are all accessible on two sidles. there being an entrance into each from the street, and also from Westinkeiter Hill. . passige the whole length of the Hall. in the exterior between it and the five Courts. It is _about nine feet wide, commencing on the top of the first flight on the stone stairs leading froit Palace-yard to the House of Lords and the House of Com mons. and opening into New Palace-yard. Into this paasage an opening is made through the northern wall of the Hall, io front of each Court. Another passage rens along the northern side of the range of Court*, from which there are . into the street through the Law Office.; which constitote the exterior of the buildint' on that side. One great a Ivantage attending this new art angement is this:—The entrance into the Courts from the Hall rimy be closed at any time without inconcenience the remaining approaches from the street and the opening at the head of the first of the stone stairs leading to the House of Lord. beim; amply sufficient for all who marhave occasion to attend the Coons. Whenever, then, a Coronation. a trial', or any other case may occur, requir:ng the exclusive occup.itioli of the Hall, It may be shut up, and the business of the: Courts of Law and Equity will suffer no interruption. A year is the time that has been allowegi for completing tlig? two Equity Courts, and two veers for the others. The two former are nearly finisheiL The Court of Chancery will he ready in the course of next month, but the . Lora Chancellor does not propose to sit in it until the Awing of Parliament. The Vice Chancellor's Conrt, which is in 'a more fore ard state, will be ready an the first Of,nekt Teem. It will be then used as the Court of Common Pleas, The foll•gwing is a brief description of these two Goads and their appurtenances in their present state. O n approac hing them by the stone stairs leading to the Lordi, on catering the long passage, there is a descent of eight steps, and a little further oa a descent of five steps end, then the re mainder of the passage is on a level with the Hall and the several Courts. The first apartment from the entrance on the left is a room for the Lord Chancellor's officers and at tendants. The next is the Lord Chancellor's private room add the next the Court. THE COURT OF CHANCERY. This is a spacious square Warn. The bench is at the western end, and the sides are lined with oak wainscot painted of oak colour, Wad highly varnished. about eight feet high. A very h andsome circular gallery runs roand it at a convenient bright, intended for the acoodisiodition of students and suitors of the Court. The front of the gallery is of iron rail work, supported at equal intervals by broad plinths and is of a light and chaste appearance. The ceiling is fiat. and in the middle of it is a large °frit square surmounted with a dome, each side of which is nearly filled by a large circular window. There are I several other windows on the sides of' the Court, bat those • in the dome or cupola are the principal ones by which" the I Court is lighted. At the back of the Bench is the Chat seller's private room, into which there is i door at each end of the liench.—The private rosin communicates with the passage leading to the H 'use of Lords, and it also communicates on the other side with i room for the Chancellor's servants in waiting. which opens into the passage on the other side communicating wish the street. On the outside 01 this passage is also a stone staircase leading to the gallery. The benches for the Counsel are the only parts of the Court unfinished, with the exception of the dressing up of the Beech, and the minor embed.. liniments. THE VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT. The Court which is now preparing as a talaporary Caine(' Common Pleas is nearly complete. It is a square, and of the same dimensions as the Court of Chancery. It has no gallery, end in the centre of the ceiling. which is dat. is a eqsaro baraiounved with a dome, with windows in esich side.
