As the plaintiffs had not done so, and thereby prevented the occur- twee of the present action they should sustain the courNuence of their own pegtigeaoe. The mute innocer.t p trims should not be Made the sufferers. The LOUD CASES' JUSTICE, in summing up, told the Jury that the two principal questions for Qitrw were s First, did the plaintiff use sufficient dilligence in publication of the loss? and., nest, did the defendants exercise due cantior in Inking a note oG such large amount ? For, though It was a bank-note, and so rec koned as cash, still proper caution was indispeuseble. The Jury would find for the defendants if they thought plaintiffs' exertions to give publicity were not adequate. lut if they beliertd that the de rendents, acting under the responsibility of their clerk, by whom they were represented. had not been duly cautious, then they wets liable, though without eny criminal imputation. Ills Lordship. having conorientedea the facts, was of opinion that the plain:int were not negligent to a deFee of liability, and that the defendatais clerk seas cot sufficiently Inqoisidire when tie took so large a note miss a complete strareen On n strict examination of the facia be fore them the Jury would decide according to the propriety of the case. The Juni% after a short consultation, gave a verdict fur the plain. tiffs for WU!. After the record of the verdict, the Jury, by their foreman, ex pressed themselves quite convinced that not a shadow of suspicion attached to the defendants in taking the note. The LOWD CHIEF JusTici agreed with the Jury, and added, that It was but fair to the conduct of the plaintiffs to state that ma. *ion of criminality had never been insinuated by them. WALKER. V. 'EAT.

STAPLETON, ESQ. • • Yesterday a Jury was summoned to assess damages in this case. which was an action fee libel, the defendant having allowed judg. ment to go by default. Mr. Bacinoe•at stated the csse for the plaintiff. The defend ant was married to the yoanger slater of the plaintiff, Mira Penn, and was the win. ha Isslieverl, of a eleneral Officer of grant respect_ ability. Alias Penn (for it was necessary to go back ale ti years to exptain the particulars of the case) in the year 1813 had formed an intimacy of the most pore and honourable nature with a Mr. Bras. nell, a respectable man, whose circumstances were at that time af fluent. In consequence, however, of the change which had taken place in his Mikes, the intimacy was broken or. and no inter course existed between them up to the year 1817. In that year Miss Penn had betaken herself to the honourable and useful occupation of keeping a Preparatory School at Mar gate. She had, anon after she had entered upon this em. ployrrent, the misfortune to burst a blood.vessel. tier health suf fered considerably, end it was thought that the visits of Mr. Brasnell would be of some comfort to her, and he accordingly went down to hlargare, where, some improvement having taken place, most probably in the circumstances of one or both, so as to render It no longer imprudent to renew the former intimacy, they walked out together, and were on terms of the same Intimacy as formerly. It happened that Mr. and Mrs. Stapleton had anon. whom they wished to have educated under the superintending care of the plaintiff. as they expected the attention of Alias Penn would be increased by the affinity. They also sent their daughter for instruction to their aunt. On the 13th of Juue, how ever, an occurrence of a remarkable kind took place. Mr. Stapleton having celled at the house of Miss Penn, and not finding his children at the school, walked nut, and met Mile Penn accompanied by Mr. Brasnell. He questioned Miss Penn about his ehildren, and was told that they were play. leg in a field close to the house. He returned to the house, and acted in Such a manner as to excite not only surprise but terror, with a harshness that could not be jJutified in any person. He ordered that his children should leave their aunt, and I.c actnaliy took them away with him before his return.— This was not theugh to do without reason. He sent a constable for their clothes, as if Miss Penn had been guilty of a theft. She naturally felt a great deabat this treatment, end of course expected an explanation. Air. Stapleton afterwards called at the buisoe of Dirs. Knott, another married sister of the plaibtift, and there seeing Miss Penn at the window. used the expressions which formed the ground of the present action, and whio she considered a moat grievous muck upon her character. He charged her with having stolen his children's clothe., and used these words :—" You, Sarah Penn, you are a liar and a thief; 'or stole my chil dren's clothes. lie accused her publicly of being a prostitute to Mr. Brunel'. Into Mr. Stapleton's motive, ha (Mr Brougham) would not inquire. It was admitted that tie words had been used, by the fact of the defendant having outlived judg ment to gu by defeat. Mr. Brougham concluded by •tiescribing the consequence or such slander to a lady who was . ar the head of an establishment for die education of children, and calling upon the Jury to show, by their verdict, their sense of the lady's conduct, and of that of the defendant. Mr. Thomas Brisionell was then tailed, and examined—lle eon. firmed in every respect the statements of tl:e Learned Canned. Three other witnesses gave similar testimony. Mr. ADOLPHUS addressed the Jury for the defendant, Never had a c:.ae come before a Jury of a more truing deacription. He would take It for granted that Ms client's fatter had viewed the con. notion with the family to which Penn be/ringed, with displeasure, lams be would tog of his client, that no husband could he fl u id w h o was more studied sad more attentive; Mat lie stood dear from all imputation as a husband, at leant, whatever he might be as hrwher. hi,. Adolphus then requested the jury would look well at the intimacy which subsisted between Mise Pen and Mr. Brasnott. IA was true that Ilia client had usen improper language, tut every ens knew that the phraseology of anger in a female moth wits more annoying than any other to which the liu trim Sir %.:Stßibje , n. Mr. Adolphue tjdiculed the idea of attributing impornince to the ' observations which had been made, and deciated tout. in leaving the School at Ma•gate. Jlime Penn was benefited instead of being injured, because there she had not a aeotool, and here she had; sou that, in tact, the damages must, in a cave ot such at nature. be merely nominal. The Srown:snit said, the damages wave hid in the ,teciara lion at SUN. • the question was, without referesee to the station ot condition of the delendant, what damage Vs plain;iil had no,. tamed io her reputation.

The camparixon between the defendant and the person who via raying attention to the plaintiL. was not rufficient to justify the use of such ezpreax;:ma as were to':•.ained in the life'.

Robert Brasier Rice, of Blaney Milli, near thicktield, Sussex, was brought up a second time far examintuoii. • This application gave n■^ to a long sr gamest, and eventaally to an important decision, relrti►e to the cfoustvact;o:: ct the Act of Parliament. Mr. ff tarn opposed, and J! r. Coort supported the ititolvenet. petition. The insolvent having taken the benefit of the Aot within five year, he was required to obtain the consent of three-fourths of hip creditors, in onniber end value, to his appliestio t for relief under the present petition. Mr. Coos E produced ih consent reqoired, which r.mou nted in number, and far exceeded in 'slue, Hera.-fourika of the aggregate in the schedule, but It appeared that one of the pereons signing was BO W.S -; 1' BEET. A young married woman, the wife of a tradesman, whose name did not appear, was brought up yesterday morning front the watch. house of the Precinct of the Savoy, charged In the constable's book with having summed to drown herself in the Thames. The con stable who broughtlipe to the office, also produced a -bonnet and shawl which had bplifited to another 'tumid), who had, it seems, actually committed cute. It appeared that between one and two o'clock yesterday morning, the toll-keeper on dety at Waterlno Bridge saw the prisoner walk. ing up and down near the gates, in a hurried mariner. While he yeas taking toll item a passenger, she suddenly slipped behind his lodge, mounted the balustrades, and was in the act of throwing herself into the river, when he caught her by the clothes,and dragged her back. He expostulated with her on the wickedness of the net she had contemplate& and endeavoured to obtain some explanation from her, but she was sullen and reserved, and finally he took her into the Strand and gave her in charge to a watchman, whom he told of what had occurred. and desired him-to prevent her from coming on the bridge again. Not long after, as a gentleman wns paying h:s toll, and the gate-keeper was relating to him the story, the prisoner and another woman passed through, and the gate.kreper pointing to the prisoner, said, " there she gees—that Is the woman." She had given a sixpence to pay for both, anti the toll-keener gave her a penny too much change; arid, making that an excuse, he called her beck, and thegentleman took her in his charge and conducted her to the watch-house, where Ice gave her into the custody of the constable of the night "for attempting to drown herself." On the *ay, in Firmer to some questions. she said that site and the ofler woman had been. schoolfellows, and that they had revolved to die together. When asked what had induced her to come to such a resolve, she said something about ill-treatment from her husband, but was rot at a explicit upon the subject. Meanwhile the toll keeper lest sigh of the prisoner's companion for a time, but in a few minutes ass told by mime person, that a woman had returned thmtigh the opposite gate, and gone down the steps lead. log to the river. He ran there immediately, and as he was de. standing the steps, he heard the noise of some one struggling in the water, and on arriving at its edge he saw the body of a woman sinking. The,tide was then making up very fast, and he had no mums whatever of endeavouring to save her. 'Pus gentleman who conducted. the prisoner to the watch-house, went back to the bridge, and learning there chat had happened, he returned to the watch-house, and accused her of having been accessary to the death of her enmpanion, which she denied, and said she knew nothing aboutther. The body of the woman who drowned herself was picked op In the course of the morning, and conveyed to tta Savoy public.bouse by the bridge. The pri , wh ose husband was present, underwent a long interrogation Sir R. Birnie and Mr. Halls; but she gave aoottr ex ceedingly e fused and unsatisfactory answers. We gathered, that her husband was a butcher, and that they had three children. When asked and repeatedly pressed to say if her bus ' band had illareated her, abe at length, with great reluctance, said, "not lately." When her assertion that her female companion wan her scli lfdlow was repeated, her husband said that could not be the , for his wife hail never been to school. Upon hear ing this. priaonetturned round, and, in an angry tone,- said, ___ l flow do u know she was not my schoolfellow, you wretch ?" When ask why site called her husband " wretch," she said t he had g sly ilLtreated her; and this was all that could be drawn in her, until Mr. Jones Peery, of Covent-garden market, at red forward, anti said he knew the huabs-d and wife Very well, dhe had' reason to believe that jealousy on her , past, erh•42 ;well or ill founded he could not say, was the cause , : of the d immix+ between them. The pr . ner criml, and admitted that such was the fact, adding, " All L w in a separate maintenance from him ; I will never live with him sin." Mr. H a said the prisoner must he detained to be sent before the Corot arts begged that, id the interim, Mr. Peery would retire whether and her husband, end endeavour to make the bad atrangetnebt he could with them. In about half an hour Mr, Perry returned with them. and said she still *ailed to have a separate maintenance. The husband said be was wilinn to arrange the matter in any way, and there the conversa*m t ailed, Mr. Halls postponing his determination until after the itqueat. Yestert 4: Jaws Haskins was brought up on a charge of return ing from nsportatinn before the expiration of Ills sentence. The prisoner was recopiiized on Thursday night, .in the pit passage of the Adelphi Theatre, by Foster, an active officer belonging to the Lambeth police establishment, who, after a seriotui struggle with him anithis companions, during *lnch the scene of operations was tranafered from the Theatre to Maiden-lane, succeeded, by the assistants: of Birthall and Craig, of this office, in securing him.

Mr. iiItATIT, for the opposing creditor", submitted that Mr. ' Stand lad was not in a condition to give a Tote on the prevent oe easion, for, holding the mortgage as he did, anti the possession of the mill, itc. he could not be deemed a creditor to the estate, or, at all erems, not to the amonnt set forth in the schedule. Alp Critics, per contra. contended that this rail the first time he bad ever heard a doctrine like that propounded by histriend (Mr. Heath). The Conte hail always held that a mortgage creditor should be inserted in the schedule, anti although they were reldorn anpointed assignees, yet the Court hart nesse denied th.tm the poi. vi!rge of voting, so as to carry into ditch ore of the beneficial put. poses of the Act. IticSomdfoul Rea one of the creditors from *hose claim the insolvent sought to be discharged, and indeed his sche dule would have been dismissed had that person's debt been ex cluded room ft. The words of the 42d section, as referable to the present ease, were, in effect, that an insolvent should not apply to th e Court a recond time within live yenta , unless he ebtaineti the mi.:cot of three.fourths of his creditors, in number and value," die. &r. He (Mr. Cooke) submitted that the word " creditors" referred to those persons. and those only, whose names were in the schedule as creditor.. or claiming to be such, nod that therefore every prison so inserted Will eligible to vote on occasions like the present. He would moreover chserve the, leaving the debt of Stet:di:ord ont of the question, his client Lad obtained the number, and very near the value; *belt:fore. as it was so near a point, he hoped the Court rooter consider that the ("solvent bad complied wills the terms of the Statute, and was in a condition to be heard on his petition. Mr. 11F4T11 replica—Me hoped the Court would consider the cue as a most important one, and by the construction of the words _take care that the apish of the Act should be insured. Under the new Bankrupt Act. he believed that every creditor was bound to t prove by debt specifically. Ina case of a person holding a eolla tersl security, the Commissioners obliged the creditor to define hut dear. whore he proud it. lie concluded by contending that Mr. Standford was not entitled to tote, ns be was not in reality a bona fide creditor. The Commissioners delivered their opinions seriatim. TM Curse Cowstisalowatia thought that the insolvent wan =titled to be beard on his petition, and he founded his opinion Irwin coupling the fhb with the 42d sections of the Act. The first of these clause. required that an insolvent should give a full de oription of the debts he owed, end, indeed, of all persons claiming to D 3 creditor'', the nature of their claims, and the securities which they held. and the latter, that the applicant should obtain the con sent of three.tourtis of his creditors, should that consent be deemed (*semi-al. in the present ease the insolvent had given a mortenge deed, hut how was it possible that the security held by his creditor could be disposed of, or could properly define their claim, so as to state what it actually was? Were persons holding ciaatetal securities. bound to do this on all occasions, it would sometimes be impossible to do on, and iu a case like this it might be, because, to answer the and , ol justice on all sides, it might also be oppress sire. Under all the circumstances of the case, he (the Chief Cam missianer) thought that the insolvent was entitled to the considera tion of the Corm, and that they ought to entertain his petition. Mr. Commissioner Bowen and Mr. Commissioner Law each took a different view of the ease. The former was aware that when an insolvent made out his schedule, it was possible that he might be unable to state :he specific amount of the claim of a mortgagee, or ors creditor, where there had been a running account ; neverthe leas, it was incumbent on an insolvent like the present to prove that Standford wet a creditor bona Ede. Mr. Commissioner LAW consitTered this a matter of great Mi. portance. The question was, whether a person who appeared to be a creditor on the schedule, but at the cam,' time held a mortgage deed, m other equi relent windy, had power to assist an insolvent to make a second and effective application: to the Court. He thought not, and his raisons were several. Suppose on one side of the schedule the insolvent acknowledged himself a debtor for 1001. to any person, and that same person was placed on the other side of the schedule Asa debtor to the estate of the insolvent for t. 01., was it fair, in a case like the present, that the 1001. should be taken into consideration, withoutdeducting theaet-off ? If so, the clause un der consideration would be ineffective. The Learned Commis sioner edverted to other analogous points, and concluded by giving it as hive anion , that the insolyent's petition could not be enter tedned under the clause upon shier he applied, unless the debt of Mr. Standfcrd was excluded from the consideration of number and value. _ . There being n majwity on the part of the Commisaioners (rho sit u ...jury) against the application, the insolvent was again re manded sin die, therefor; gaining nothing by h s second appli cation. POLICE. EXTENSIVE SWlNDLlNG.—renterday Thomas Hewitt was brought up for final examination, before Mr. Hoskins, on various charges of fraud and swindling. The office was crowded with per sons whom he had doped. 31r. Edward Passmore, of the Rising Sun., Challon-street. So mers -town, stated, that about three months ago the prisoner called at his house, and entered into renversation with him, saying he had an extensive job on hand, and putting a sheet of paper into the witness's hand, said, '• This is an mftitnate of work I am to do for the Archbishop of Canterbury, a hose' teward is my brother-in-law. I know your nephews well, and shall give you the preference." The witness had been a Witter, and his nephews were now in the same line • and feeling desisotallar working /be BO eminent a personage as the Archbishop of Canterbury, asked him into the partner, when he described the work which was to be done, namely the building two first-rate houses and the turning a sewer, and made an appointment with the witness to take him to the Archbishop's Palace on the following Sunday. Ile then quickly said, " Will you allow me ter pay my men here us-eight, as I expect my sur veyor in a few minutes? " The witness immediately consented, and the prisoner requested two pounds worth of silver, which the witness gave him, and went into the bar, but returned to the par. lour in less than two minutes, and found the prisoner gone. It im mediately occurred to him he had been swindled, and he never saw' him front that time until now. lie caused inquiries to be made at the Archbishop's, but found the prisoner had no relation there in any capacity. Mr. Witham Maycnck, builder and excavator of Portland. town, deposed that the prh , oner called four times at his house relative to an extensive job—the erection of large walls, and t h e formation of a fish pond at the Archbishop's country seat, which he was to get hint through his brother-in-law, the steward, and upon his last calling he persuaded witness to get into his gig to go to the place where the work was to br commenced, and on the way, ILI if suddenly recollecting himself, he said, " I hove several things to take with me and have not enough silver, will you lend me seven or eight shillings." The witness had only a live pound note about ' him, and he unhesitatingly handed the• to him, desiring him to get change and take front it what he wants:'. The prisoner got out of I the gig, promising to return immediately. Witness waited some ' time, and finding him not returning, went home of course, con. sidering himself &tried. Illr. John Smith, of No. 3 Wharf.. Paddington, deposed that ' same time since the prisoner came to him, and talked very largely of some excavations which he was carylng on for the Duke of Norfolk, whose steward, Mr. Evans, was Isis brother.in-law. and , as some masonry was to be executed he (the witness) should get the work. He hail several interviews with the witness, anti per- /waded him to go down to St. James'a.etreet, to meet Mr. Evans, who was, by his direction, to draw from the banker 31. or 400/. to advance to the witness to carry on the work. In St. James's street they went into a public-house, where the prisoner Jett hint for a minute or two, when returning, he sail—•• I have rot seen my brother, but it's all right; he has left the money with one of the ' clerks, and as I want some change, will yog lend me 61. 104. 6d. for • minute or two ?" " 3lost certainly, my friend," replied the witness, and handed over that sum ; but, as usual, the prisoner never made his appearance again. Mr. Daniel Mahony, of No. 14, Upper rork.straet, said that on the 14th October It.st, at night, the priso.ler came to his house, and saw the witness's wife, he being in bed. Basing pressed much to see him, he was shown to his bed aide, and immediately claimed acquaintance, saying, " I can get you a good job at Lmd Bel. more's, in Hamilton-place, hishounete going to be put in thorough repair, and I can do any thing with Evans, the steward, who is my brother.imlaw." Ile made an appointment for the next day ; witness met him there, nod upon several other occasions, and he always said money was no object, and the would 'procure an advance of 130/. to waist in carrying on she work. The last time they met he was taking him to Lord Behuore's steward to decide upon the (em', and when passing the end of Mount-street, Grosvenor square, be desired witness to wait a moment, as he had to re. retry 701. for some carting he had performed, for the Board of Works. He returned very shortly with an open purse In his hand, into which he was pushing some soft paper, which the wit ness conceived to be Bank-notes, and exclaimed, "Ah ! that's the shop to work for; sure money nothing like money; Lend me 31. 10s., as I have that sum to give buck in change ; and bold tide purse and money until I return, as my pockets arc bad, but take care of it." The witness gave him the M. Ills. ; and putting the purse into his waiateont pocket, kept his hand upon it to keep it safe; but the prisoner not returning, he opened it, and found only a bit of brown tea-paper. lie then returned home, quite vexed at being so easily done. There were five other charges agalrist the prisoner, but as they . acre not of a felonious nature, the Magistrates committed him for trial en the lour cases of Messrs. Passmore, Smith, Mahony, and Mayeock, which, in their opinion, amounted to clear felonies. eumatance being made known to the Captain, he sent for Westeott,' who traced the yoatiii to Rathbehecptace, where they were living with Mr. Crosier, mu-chandler, stn; brought them to the office. Upoo the prisoner beias brought up for re-examination he ad. muted that he took two young men a shilling fare, from Bridge street to Robert -street, I ambeth-morsh. Ott letting them out, he gave to tine of them n clink, who walked away with it. Smith, the prisoner'.: master. here came forward, and mated that on Capt. ili•Grath Col7li , lg to him, he went to where the prisoner lodged, and he told him that he had given a cloak to two young men ; on which he pricettled to Bridge-street, where he learnt from the water wen that th.y said they were corn-chandlers. This in duced him to renew his exertions, and, aided by an advertisement, enabled him to succeed in getting the cloak restored. His man was a paragon of honesty. Sir O. FAR RAter--11) our man had named that' he had given the cloak to tiro person.: at lire', I should not have committed him ; hiit upon my pressing :.tat question, he totally denied all know ledge of it. The worthy Magistrate then desired one of the gentlemen alionld be brought in, when, in accordance, a young man, whose appear ance, whatever it niiiv be on a Sunday, exhibited nothing of tho gentleman on the present ocatsion, and who gave his none as Finnegan, stated that heard his companion hod walked from the City-toad to Bridge -street, where they took a chariot, on getting out at Lambeth the eenchmsn said hero is your cloak, when he gave him one; he knew that it was not ilia cloak, but thinking that there might be reward for it he and his companion intended, if io case there should be one, to divide it between them. John Thextable, the other youth, WAS then brought In, who, after considerable prevarication, although he was allowed to he sworn, deposed, that on going witii the cloak to his mother, she desired him to take it away. Rut when the coachman gave it to his companion he thought it beionged to him, although he knew that they took no bundle into the chariot; and that he did not intend to keep the reward had he got it, for he had intended, that. as the coachman was in custody, to give it to him; and the cause of their returning it was fearing that they should come into trouble. hitt G. FAIMANT observed, that they had been guilty of a felony, and lad been the sole cause of an innocent person lying in prison for roor days; and If Captain M'Orath thought proper to prefer an indictment against them, he would most likely suc ceed. As for the coachtnetn, he should now discharge him. Mr. Smith now came forward again, aid In the course of his remarks he observed that hackney.coacbmen were the most honest of any body of men, but unfortunately they laboured under the ill opinion of the public; which arguments he supported by several very entertaining anecdotes. Captain M Grath finally said that, as the corehman was innocent, he would give him a sovereign, as a reward, which he hoped would be a stimulus to future good conduct. AN AVKWARD SUBJECT.—Yesterday, daring the hours of business, Mr. Brooks, t' celebrated anigomlst, of Blenheim street, came to the office, and stated that on Thursday night he re turned to his house about !er, en o'clock, when he proceeded to his drawing-room; whilst there, and just before he was retiring, he thought lie wou:d look and nee if all wan safe; with this determi nation he examined beht-.1 the curtains and other places, and at length he came to the soya r on stooping he beheld the leg and breech of a men. (-Imbed in a covering of dark cloth, whom he pulled out, on which the fellow, tieing he had an open space. jumped up on his legs, and endeavoured to farce something into Mr. Brooke's mouth, but being too strong for him, he frustrated the fellow's design. A striiggle ensued , when they both fell down. andi although the door had the chain up, yet the fellow by some means made his escape. Whilst he was keeping him at bey, he called out murder lustily, bat neither his neighbours nor the watchman came to his assistance. Had they dune so the fellow, whose Intention was to rob or murder him, would Dave been taken. The Magistrate here asked Mr. Brooks In a low tone, or at least so we understood, whether any resurrectionist had brought in a subject before his hour was come, who, being alarmed, might have so exerted himself to escape from what was most probably horrible to his feelings? To this question we understood the ana tomist togive an answer in the negative; and a pupil observed that it could not have been a resurrectionist, as his clothes were not greasy. Tile worthy Magistrate then desired the officers to make inqui. rles, and endeavour to bring the offender to justice. MAIWLEBONE. THE CONVICT CATHERINE FERRIS. Yesterday the in vest icroinn respecting tbe innocence of Catherine Ferris, now a convict under sentence of de at h, was resumed at Lambeth-street police office. During the progress of the inquiry the Magistrate', complained of the incorrearkss of the reports which had appeared :in all the morning papers except the British Press, obiel vation3 were given as coming front them, which, in the eyes of tile public, must have made them apron, completely stultified and ignorant of law, common sense, and the usages of satiety. Th . .: two females, Furze and,Shote, were were thea placed at the bar. Foster, the officer, stated that in consequence of information he had received he apprehended hoth tilt prisoners. The first he took into custody was Shute. On seeing hint, ate said I know what you are come about, on which he asked her if it was not a hard thing that en innocent person (alluding to Fonts) should stifii-r innocently ; she replied that site hat,l no:bing to do with the robbery, but that she was glad she [tented was appreh..nded, for' that she bad never been comfortable in her mind since the transac. tine occurred. He shottly afterwards apprehended Furn, who vo luntarily isdmitied that Davis, herself, and Shute, were the persons ulio committed the robbery, and that Ferris was quite innocent. The prisoners were then ordered to be detained pn the present evidence, as it might no happen that previous to the Fs•ionn Mr. Marsh may so far recover hi s sanity as to b e a bl e to id ent if y t h em ; and Mr. Ilardwicke, as oa a former °cession, recommended that a memorial should be forwarded to the the Right Hon. the Secretary for the lions Department by those persons interested in the fate of Ferris; who, if he thought the subject deserving of attention, would order ouch an investigation, and the production id such do cuments, as would head t o t h s most sadsfsctory result.
