Tli Sec et:Tette then read the Report, which caddied many I interesting extract's front the Reports of the Society's agents, at London and Gravesend ; all of the moat gratif_yieg description,— and tchiling to chew that the character of our British seamen is peculiarly alinet° the benign influence of the (impel, and that the ineroductioo of the Bible amongst them had had the meet whitey and beneficiel effects. The Report muted dog the Society had, since its osomencement, distributed 11117 bibles, and eille testae:mum.

Ell A M rTON Secretary to the British and Foreign Bible Soddy. rose to move that the Report be approved and widely circulated. Ile attended at that meeting in one bens: cerainly er officio, but in another sense his sou:name was prompted by the warmth of his sincerest attachment to its blessed object. He had heard the Report read with doable saturation. as it re:Wailed him that while that great Society, whose anniversary they celebrated last ‘Vcdnesitay, sought to spread the word of life to all the world, the one whose institution they were then commence shewed they were nut forgetful to render the same good to their countrymen at home. it appeared by the Report that WM had been given by the East India Cumpany towards the funds of the Society. lie roof:Poled this &cum/Mime was peculiarly gratifying, inasmuch as it sheered the dispersion of ancient. prejudices, and the progressive cdramainent of liberal and enlightened opinions; for if en lePlli-e -thin had been made to that Maly a few years ago, for their suppuitt to such an institution as this, a grant would not have been mode, it being but a short period sinew an oph prevailed that a society haring for im object the religious instruction of British stamen, would the interests of that annpany. The lice.

The Rev.

To what was this to be aarigneel, but to the of the spirit of the Bible? Lord ROCK AA V At; r. moved the second resolution. This metro polis till a glorious spectacle in its charities, but he was per. suaded there was not one more beneficial than that they were then attending. The Hon. li. Norte seconded the resolution, Ile observed, that there 111:44 MI be found in the Inert hunt seautait't character a specks of superstidem, which, although it was to be htmented, was evi dence of something in his nature capable of being alliteted. lie knew not to what cause it was to be attributed, tulles, it was, that from the peculiarly dangerous situations to hich they, were exposW, their minds 'twee led to cling to some Power, higher indeul than themselves fur protection, but, owing to their want of information, infitatcly beneath that hest Being to whom their thoughts (by the ,gated of the Ilibhe Society) were belay, directed. l'his was the duty of those who felt kr the cause of Christ. They had to show them dint there was an uteject worthy of that regard which they felt, but far superior to the cite their conceptions bail formed. Seamen have beta remarkable for their profligacy, but rot for scepticism; they had nut 'lust apathy which shuts uut relay sense or feeling, 'resists the mailer impulses of our nature, soil boasts a callous stoical intlillirence to the most solemn-and inspiet ant truths.

The Hon.

There were feelings, however, which lie could not restrain. In that Society tw had always felt the tkepest interest ; it had always appeared to hint the most interesting of all the Inte resting 'meats of that nature. It yes peculiarly gratifying to find that it occupied so extensive a range in the public philanthropy. That Society which had been alluded to as the British and Foreign Haile Society, was truly British, Weenie it hail for its object the distribution of the lloly Scriptures amongst our own people ; and it Man also truly Foreiga, , because it sought to *peeled its believe low not only over Continental Europe, but over every portion of the yowl'', bearing its rich seal hum tishable gilts to the most dis. tats shores.

His Lordship proceeded to refer t o the documentary evidence which had been read on the trials—the deed executed by Mr. How land in 17 the will of that gentleman; the will of Mr. William Cotton, father to the lunatic; the will of Mrs. Rebecca Cotton; the will of Mr. Evelyn Rowland Cotton; the proceedings on the mumihaiiin of lunacy; and luely, to the eflidavits of Mr. \Van!. in which he swore to the legitimacy of the lunatic, though he now sought to overturn the allegation which he haul formerly made. AS to the fonder documentx, it was not probable that Mr. Rowland Cotton would have devised his agates to the lunatic, if be believed 11 " ilifffilinudo,particulasly when it ought to be remenibteed that the object of making them deeds and acnkments was to keep the estates in the blood and name oldie family of Cotton ; though, no doubt, it might be answered, that the weather' of the family might hare been deceived into the belief of his lettitimacy by misrepre sentations. The privacy of the marriage of 1170 was a strong cir cumstance against the prouireption of a former marriage. It they had been privately married before, there cfuld be tau reason for then. marrying privately a second time. Al to the law of the case, it might be said that his Lordship ought to retire Iron it and leave it to a Court of Law. On the t hid Justice's elpositim of the law of marriage previously to 17S, he was unwilling to make a long comment, as he telt that in doing so he might learnt tne feelings of teary who might have been sitneted in similar eircumstaocka of marriage.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, FRIDAY, MAY 7• Tlll CoIIPOHATION OF MONMOUTH. T/1.11 ZINU V. NENJAMIIIf This was a procusling by way of tlao Warrwate, calling upon the defendant to 'how by what utle he sued as a burgess of hlon nouth. The also was tried et the last thlOrKeillef Assizes before Mr. Justice Park, and the defendant MU found guilty. The Co II NI 0 N SERI] AN T this day moved for a rule to show cause why the venhct should not be act aside and a new trial granted. Ile stated, that the title upon which the defendant relied was W charter of Edward VI., which it was alleged on his belialt that the chance contained no form fur electing the burgesses, and that his drake' had been in the ordinary manner. To those alle. gations there were nine special replications, in which it was stated that the custom was tor the common council lint to nominate, then to aPproee, and thirdly to make an order fur the election of the burgesses, and that tome of these foetus had been observed in his ease. The defendant denied that any such customs cod bye-laws existed; and the issues which the jury had to try were, therefore, as to the existence of these customs and bye-laws, and secundly as to the legality of the election, supposing they dld not exist. It was proved in evidence, on the trial, that doe defendant had been elected by public prochunntion, as had all the other burgesses. For that purpcse a Court of Record was summated by the ringing of a bell. Tuat was the ordinary mode of giving notice of the assembly of the Court, which, according to the charter, should be held every Mon. day throughout the year. The Court was empowered to try certain Iscuons. and to elect burgesses. The form of election was, that the candtilate should be nutuinated by one burgess and seconded by another ; after which proclamation was made three times, the woe& being each time suitably varied, and, if no cause was shown against his clectien, lie was forthwith sworn in a beeves. On the e;ection of the defendant, these formalities had been duly observed, and the mayor had eves waited an hour after the proclamations, in order that the fullest opportunity might be given fur opposition, but none was veered. At the same time with the detentlant ten other burgesses were elected. The Court of Record could be shown to have been in existence as early as the reign of llenry V., and there were entries of its proceedings preserved as far back as the reign of Elisabeth. The course always followed seemed to have been, that the candidate Was elected with the assent of all the burgesses present at the Court of Record, which the defend ant contended was the common law mode of election. The entries were of nomination and election precisely as in this case. To negutive the immemorial claims of the common council, it *its proved that in 1703 that body had Caine to a resolution that no persons ought to be elected burgesses but residents, and that unless the contrary practice was eorrecad for the fteure. they would apply to the Duke of Beaufort for a new charter. This resolution clearly admitted that the common council had no right to interfere with the election of burgesses. The common council had twice claimed to elect the mayor. The right had been tried once at Gloucester and once at hlonmouth, and on each trial found not to exist. 'the two points on which the defendant inaioly relied were, lint, that some evidence ought to have been gives that such customs and by laws existed as were alleged in support of the proceedings against him, and that MO important a part of th.t case ought not to be in. dived from the cross-examination of his witnesses; and, secondly, whether such customs and by-laws existed or not, that there had been no fraud in the mode of assembling the court of record. It WWI alleged dust there lead been a surprise on the opposite parties, and therefore that the electnun. was not valid nor legal. The Jury had found a verdict generally. The lammed Judge who tried the case was requested to ask them on what issue they had found spinal the ilidendsit, but his Lordship had refused to put the question. Mr. Taesrox, who was fur the prosoeutiou, interrupted the Learned Counsel, to state, that after the Jury had found the yer. diet, the leasied Judge, in reply to a request of the Common Ser. grant, to know on what issue the Jury had found against she de feudant, had answered, that that might be settled out of Court be tween the partial, to which no objection was then made. The Cosmos 14EIMEANT said, that his niemury of the trans action IVZJI quite incousistent with the statement of his Learned Friend. lie had not evened the question to Mr. Justice Park, but claimed a right to know on what issue the verdict was found, and he Anal distinctly requested the learned Judge to 'pot that qu.saion to the Jury ; but his Lereddlip answered that he would L .', put it. Mr. CA Ntruti.r.. who was with the Common Sergeant, assented to t h e cotrectrees of this statement. '1 he Cost non SERGEAVT then proceeded to detail the testi. cloth). of the 16 ititesso, on whose cruss.examie.ation 11r. Taunton had rslied In his address to the Jury. There were a great many with:saes examines] for the defendant. Only a few were cross.es. and from them answer s e e ry lw at oli e knt to w a rrant an up. favourable tt)110.11bitill to the defendant were elicited. In their evidence they were net =indicted, though there were persons in court capable of disprov ow what they had stated, if it had not been trots. The town clerk, alio was of the adverse party, was not called to prove that the Comtiont Council had ever asserted a right to in. terfere in the election se:Burgesses. If the Learned Judge had put the question respecting the existence of the by. lass and customs, he (the ('omuum Sergerzt) would then have applied fur a new trial 011 the ground that the verdict was contrary to evidence. There t was an entire aluence of all posof that the defendant's election was in e'ty respect inconsistent w itit the practice of the borough. As to the Plea of fraud or autprise, no such motive could exist in the sketion of the defendant. The borough was divided into two I parties. Al-m• the defeat of the claim eel the Common l'ourteil to appoint the Mayor, he was as before elected by the burgesses; and it appeared on the poll, that the defendant's party had a majority of 3. which, considering that they had many votes in reserve, and that . the opposite party were so completely exhausted that their candi. date had vexed for himself. was as good as 3110. The superiority of numbers was ascertained. and this had happened before the cle ftntlant's election as a burgess. It was clear, therefore, that the object of his election could not be to strengthen his party. They were already lollikThlT to their advers a ries. Mr. J uttice Bat some :f the burgesses were of opinion that the defendant's friend was 6r so be mayor, they might not think the defendant himself was tit to be a bursae. They might exacbse an honest discretion in voting for the mayor and re jvitting the burgess. Tie Cost momtiEm lir am . 1* said, a vast majority of the burgesses lived within the souod of the bell, and not one had come forward to I state that he had not attended the court because he had not beard Ithe helL The Learned Judge hail prevented the defendant from proving directly that the arsenii,ly of the Court of Record was a inciter of general notoriety and CMkTtilliol3. The Learned Judge I had suited that he could nut listen to the gossip of a country town, but it had transpired mpeutedly that the fact was well known, and u subject of genensi conversation. Mr. Justice II ci LIMY'S asked how lee; the bell had rung before the Court 1 , 731, assembled ? I The Costuow SEIHJEANT said he could not state. The bell I was rung at ten in the morning, and there was sufficient opportu nity for oppming the proceedings and preventing surprise, as Mr. Tyler, the utturney fur the prosecution. waa . present when the Court was opened, and had made his protest against what was going to t take place. Ile had afterwards remained there an hour, during which, if he had pleased, be might have called together his friends. I On the morning of the defendant's election, it happened that a Court of Quarter Sessions was also held. This circumstance had been made an imputation against the defendant; but on searching the records it appeared that it was no unusual occurrence, and that 113 burgesses had been eleetel on similar occasions. IThe Loan CHIEF JIJISTICE.—The Court of Record is holden, it appears, whethet burgesses are to be elected ur nut. If you mean to do something which may or may not be done, and which I is distinct from the ordinary btodness of the Court, must you not • give Nome notice of your intention ? Tbe Con mos SemGE.ANT—There is no proof that such notice was ever given at Monmouth respecting the election of burgesses. The parties meet at the Court, and generally do such dory a* may I be required from them. .Me. Justice BAYLEY—But it is not unreasonable to expect that such a course shall be followed as may prevent surprise. We I ought to cousider what the general rule of law is. lithe coarse is ! not specially provided, it must be a reasonahle mode of proceeding. Now the (locution is, whether it is reasonable that when it is ex pected that you are going to other business you should proceed to • elect burgesses ? The Commix See °EA it T said that that was a nuestion of great importance and r s itude, affecting the rights of individuals in a great many boron . It was dangerous, lie thought, to argue that such an him ciency of notice, as in this case, independently of all fraud or 'uprise, would invalidate the rights of the Surgeries. i Lstterly, the Court of Record had been disused for pleas, and, per ; hats, therefore was only called together for electing burgesses. The Loan Cuter JUST ICE --ill the King against May, it was laid down that miles, the usual notice was given, the elective as. sem* could not be well constituted. ne Co es No 51 SERGEANT—Here the usual notice was certainly i given. The only doubt is whetlar it was not generally known that I burgesses were to be elected, . . . more 'ascertain was that expectation the_grester the necessity of giving due notice. Trse COMMON SIERGEAXT-1 should rather say the more ass it the duty of the burgess's to attend. The Loan Cams Jt; IT see—That would be casting a great burden upon them. After some further cooversation— . . . The Cot: arsaid ti;;;;ouldfook at the report of the trial. The Loun l'ti ter Jr !IT ICE added, that if It should appear that the Jury were right as to one issue, the verdict might be dis charged as to the rest. PUBLIC SUBSCRIPTIONS. BYIINZ r. PARKINS. This was an action tried I;eita; the Lord ilhief Justice at the late Sittings at Wrstniinster, to recover the balance of a public sub scription raised for the benefit of the plaintiff, a poor Irishman, who was induced to come over to this country by the deteadaat, the well known Mr. Ex-Sheriff Parkins, and Mr. William Cubbett, equally well known as the editor of the Political Register, and latterly as the tenor of turtipikemen. The Ex-Sherif was, on the motion of his quandons friend. the highway-man, appointed treasurer of the subscription ; and it seen,, that he understood that the trust re posed in hint was to keep the cash, a duty which he performed so' religiously that he would nut suffer it even to pass into the hands of , the wretched plaintiff, for whom it was subscribed. An action was consequently brought against him, and a verdict gained by the plaintiff. This den :11r. Parkins attended in ('curt, according to' an intimation he had given to move for a new trial. . . . The Loa u Cu IE r:I ' , arms haring gone through the bar, asked 31r. Parkins whether he had anything to move 31r. Parkins—To-morrow, my Lord, 1 shall more in a matter of importance. 31r. Juitice BAYLEY—What is the name of the cause ? Mr. Parkins—The cause, my Lord, is called " Byrne against Parkins." It is a atuse of great importance to me— The Lona Cuter' Jr sr ir E—We can't give you prc.audicnce to-marrow morning ; we will hear now. Mr. Parkins—l am not prepare d to go into the question now. Mr. Justice BATLEY-11 , e can't break through the rule on L o:raccount ; we must go through the Bar before you can be . _ _ — iiir.

Mr. f'ateruct.t. then proceeded to show cause why a writ of quo warranty should not issue against the defendant, calling upon him to shew by what title he claimed to act as a burgess of Ipswich. It was necessary to the election of a burgess of this borough, that there should be !Resent 2 bailiffs 43 burgesses, and 2 portmen. it was contended that the defendant's election was bad, because one of the portmen was at that time also town-clerk. These situations, Mr. (:anipbell argued, wcre not incompatible. The fact was, that Ipswich was divided into two parties—the Blues and the Yellows. CA laugh.) Latterly the conflicts of these parties had shaken the corporation to its centre. Previous to the recent election, a great number of burgesses had gone down on a Sunday to prepare for hostilities. After some conferences, it was agreed that an equal number, to wit, eight of each party, should be elected honorary burgesses. The only difficulty was, as to which should be elected first. It was finally settled, than a Blue and a Yellow should be put in nomination together. They were elected by acclamation, and he believed the election had given universal satisfaction (a laugh). At the ensuing charter-day, two of these honorary bur gesses were chosen bailiffs. Everybody was satisfied, both Blue and Yellow, but one person , who happened to be neither Blue nor Yellow (a laugh), and he had interfered to disturb the general harmony. The Loan CHIEF JUSTICE—He was the fittest person to in terfere. The quo warrant° must issue. COURT OF COMION PLEAS, FRIDAY, MAY 6. WITNESSES' EXPENSES. Mr. Sergeant lixws moved fur a rule to stiew cause why the Attorney in a cause should not pay the fall expenses of a witness lie brought front Jersey.

NI NETT AND SCRIBE. 111 r. Sergeant Yct.t. moved fur a rule to thew cause why the verdict in this case should not be set aside, and a new trial granted. The action anise out at an order from the plaintiff to the defendants, who were his bankers, to set aside 40ffl. tmu his private account, to be at the divvy.' of a Mr. John Minter. This order was after wards countermanded. and the money handed over to the plaintiff: The question was, whether the bankers were authorises' to pay the money to Any other than Minter, as it was entered by them on his account. The COUNT were of opinion, that as Minter had never used the money, the bankers were entitled to be guided by the countermand of the plaintiff.--Itule refused. LAW [INS V.
