'had firmed his principles Rom diligent study of the Constitution nod close observation of its practice, whilst he (Sir George Dill) l.ad been politically tve,ototl and instructed by those chiefly . whom Fe now addressed. He hail early imbibed their sentiments, emengst whom he was brought up, which had been sometimes tertied to he more preindiceo than priociples, yet long experience :.so fixed ri-ndy in his mind, and had ever governed, and should mew govern hie conduct, that the Constitution of this country had bean, was now, and ever ought to remain, caoentially Protestant. tfo mach about himself. He would conclude by obacrviag, that It r•sa it reward more valuable than his services justified, to be thus assured that he had earned and acquired the esteem, court .lettee, and approbation of all that was discreet and good in society. lie now begged leave to ohorrve that amongst the most valua ble property which a country coukl poems, were her public men of talent, provided they possessed accompanying qualifications ; that it was a great error, however, which prevailed in come places, al. thoagh not entertained by those here assembled, that the most be neficial exertion of a public man is manifestml by a constant op. position to the measures of the Government and the powers that bet whereas experience sufficiently men the official statesman, like my friend and many others, to be the most useful promoter of the public weal, provided that with Intelligence, integrity, and coo age, be feels a generous independence, which hold in utter disregard the emoluments of situation, when pet in competition with the prin. moles be may have professed, and by which, as in the case duly Hon. Friend and myself, support and favour have been won , cr con trasted with the duties which he owes to the interests of his country. He professed to abstain froth touching the detail, so impressively given by his friend who bad preceded him, of the events and cir commence* which, at this crisis, operated upon the most vital con cerns of the United Kingdom. In his facts, reasoning", and conclusions, he entirely concurred, and so far as they went, he aheerfally quartered himself with them, and adopted them as his can ; but he would endeavour to enforce the necessity of vigilance, co-operation, and petition, with strong remonstrance, against tam. pining with our Protestantism, or negotiating with Popish claims, we yielding to the demands (and made too us of right) of those who acknowledge and obey, implicitly, the pea-eminence and commands of an Italian Potentate in all things spiritual—who thus divide in compatibly with sale governmeht, their allegiance with the Sove reign, whom Protestants exclusively acknowledge and obey ; and he would the more endeavour to enforce this necessity, when he ad verted to a proceeding of very recent occurrence. This meeting would hear, with disgust and indignation, of the plan of a Consti tution, and the scheme for effecoing it, transmitted to the Popish Association in Ireland. from the other side of the Atlantic, by that expatriated traitor, the Roman Catholic Doctor 31`Nevin. He pro poles to strike out and strike off the church at one sweep from the Hee of the constitution—so said he also in 1708. Henetet proposes se paration from Great Britain—so he proposed in 1798, aided by Frartte. 14'414 gentlemen, have these propositions been indignantly re -jetted by these petitioners for what they call their rights I—No, gentlemen, Doctor 31'Nevin's recommendation and address to Ire land have been received by the Popish Parliament with approba tion and applause, and thus those irreclaimable demagogues have now added another stain to their everlasting infamy and disgrace, by receiving from this recorded traitor, with cheers and acclamation, a charter for renewed treason and rebellion. But this is what we dreaded and might have expected from men s'ho triumph and gloat over the difficulties of Logland, and who boast of doing so—who kterasaid, emancipation is the fast step to reparation—who cringe 1001. and bully to-morrow—who protess all obedience to the law , and diligently study, in the same breath, the evasion of it. In snort, from men who, in 1813, proposed an appeal to foreign inter :mate in our infernal concerns, and who have lately renewed the same.

I (From the Cheltenham Chronicle:l . At the moment when we were putting our paper to pram last sink we received intelligence of the death of old Brint ; sod the eireumstances of his supposed murder were communicated to us by a gentleman who had seen the body in its bruised condition, aid the supposed parricide in manacles, at the Plough public home. We have now to cornet the unintentional error of our in. , lotmant, In that put of the statement whkeh iinplicated the old man's son.he-law; and to do that individual the justice to declare, • 1.-eit cot the slightest imputation can attach itself to him, as he was at the time some miles distant from the spot where the wmeted /Stint breathed his last. Having made this made, we feel it due to ourselves to show that there were facts connected with this ease . sufficiently suspicious in themselves to justify our assertion that the perpetrator of the atrocious deed was supposed to be the old man's own son. In the order of detail we now lay before our reader, a report of the exstpinatioo at our Police office, at eleven o'clock on S hursday morning ; we shah subsequently notice the result of the . Coroner's Inquest, held at half-peat two on the same day, and then .'.Lets the ease to rest on its own merits, simply premising that the verdict of the Jury was. under existing circumstances, not merely lest and conscientious, bet the only one that could result horn the . evidence adduced before them. Depositions taken in Cheltenham . Leon R. Capper and J. egg, Esqrs. Richard Yates, who lives close to the Plough public-house, de. pried that he knew the prisoner perfectly well. He saw him be • swam 10 and II o'clock on Tuesday night. The old man, his tither, was with him, on one noddy, and prisoner drove the other before him. This was a mile from Cheltenham ; witness walked ssith them "for hard upon three miles," till at about a quarter of w mile on this side of the Plough, the old man fell off, whilst wit ness and prisoner were walking before him. Ile was quite tipsy, and witness helped prisoner to rain him up, and they got him on Its lop; he did not seem to be hurt, nor did he complain. If his now had bled at that time. witness mum have seen tl.e blond. As . they went along witness heard a dispute and a great deal of talk between them about Is. 6d. Prisoner swore and d—tl the old man . often. They cursed each other ; the son persisted in swearing he harlpaid the Is. 6d. for runt and water, and the father as obstinately dental it. The old man was sober enough all the time to know what he was saying. Deponent only assisted to lift the father on has legs again, and then left them there together. He proceeded home. eat his supper, and was going to bed half an hour afterwards, when lie heard them going peat the hotter. and he turned from the door, which lie opened to see how they got on, and told his own tither who they were. l'hey were not quarrelling then, and pri soner was lielpine the old than to walk along, and driving the ned dies before them. Witness saw the body next morning—it was the body of the same old man. Mr. Sadler, Chief of the Cheltenham Police, deposed, that he . went to the Plough public-house, on the Gloucester-rove where he found the prisoner, and took him into custody, on Wednesday. On apprehending him, he asked him what occurred betweee him and his father ? and he replied," Nothing particular." He than asked whether they had not quarrelled about eighteen-pence ? He said no. they did not quarrel at all. He raid he left his father on the road about three o'clock. lie admitted that they had passed the 'Plough between eleven 'anti twelve o'clock ; and the body was thond about a quarter of a mile from that public-house. When asked at what timefie reached Gloucester ? he said it was about five o'clock in the morning. Ile could not account for the way in which . arty of the intervening hours had been passed; all he knew was, that it was about three when he left the old man standing against the rails—that h' had tried to get him on, but could not. Bk. Sdler then deposed that he had seen the corpse--the hands were truth cut and the body braised; the side of the head was much catt ; foe five yards around the spot on which the old man was found, the round was very much trampled, as by the working of feet in' M struggle, and as if two bodies had been rolling about. The old nrer.'s mouth and fare were all over mud, and a great deal of blood Was sprinkled about the ground and on the tails.

The Regulator "coach stopped at his cottage and called hint up at a quarter past Me o'clock on li'ednewlay, and he was told a man lay dead on the roadside, a quarter of a mile beyond the Plough. He went thither, Sind found the body lying upon the back, with one arm under it, anti the ether across the breast. It was not particularly cold nor *jiff; the old man had not long been dead. Witness thought at rst that he was dead drunk, or chilled by the weather. He felt *a hood, neck, smite:own; they were not cold, but there was no breath of bf•—no breathing. It appeared as if he had see been POOP long dead : the mod on the face and hands was not frozen ; ige was still warm • hut when witness raised one of his legs he knew g all was over, and that he was 6 ' dead enough." Deponent asked home men to assist in removing the body to the public house, and • they did so. It ws then freezing ; much blood had issued from the nose and mouth, and from the hands, one of which had a yery bad cut on it, as if inflicted by a wick or stale. The shirt of the deceased wee torn from the COIIIII downwards, and all the gathers were loosened ; there was a black mark on the reek under the right ear; another mark on the left side, rind math on the windpipe as if a knuckle had pressed it lightly. ..:a;rinkles of blood were on the ground to a distance, which he ineseured, of tight feet and a hell around the corpse, which lay by the road side- and not in she way ut any vehicle ; and the ground was trampled a rent deal, as it by swo . persons in a scuffle.

Gabriel Solomon, whose case had been adjourned from the pre ceding to this day, to afford the Insolvent an opportunity of intend ing his schedule in sonic points of omission, was brought up and remanded by the Court for four calendar months. Gustavus Enghman, merchant, was opposed by Mr. Potts:ace, on the part of blesses. Penny and Creighton. It appeared that the insolvent, after a former dealing to the amount of 921., for which he had given a bill accepted by Mr. bough, required goods to the va lue ef MR., which was refused unless Mr. bough's acceptance was given the this sum, as had been done in the former instance. The insolvent said that he should see Mr. Lough, and what was re quired should be done. On this assurance the goods were sent and shipped to Sweden by the insolvent. After the invoice had been been completed, and while the goods were in the course of voyage, the insolvent called on Messrs. 'fenny and Creighton. to state that Mr. Lough refused to accept on account of the difficulties of his own affairs. The goods sent to Sweden had been sold there, and the produce remitted to the insolvent. The CouRT directed that the insolvent should be remanded to the 13th linot to tile an amendment of his schedule. Joseph Ford, the elder, of :Mortlake, gentleman, was opposed on the part of Messrs. Todd and Merriam. It appeared trom the examination of the Insolvent, that he gave a guarantee for the amount of some goods which the insolvent's eldest son, on remov. ing his business front Mortlake to Reading, procured from Messrs. Todd and Co. The insolvent stated that he did not represent himself to be the proprietor of the shop at Mortlake, but that the persons who re quired the guarantee might have understood that the concern at Mortlake, which he conducted for his soil, was his own. The bu. sines had been carried on for two years by his son before he re mewed to Reading, and for three months subsequently by the in solvent. The insolvent also alleged that when he went to sign the guarantee the goods had been sent. Mr. Slater, a clerk In the house of Messrs. Todd and Co. being examined, stated that he was present at some conversations, in which thelnsolvent had insinuated that he was a man of proprrty, and on this inducement the goods were sent to the son. Before the guarantee was given, the goods were refused to the son. At a meeting of the son's creditors on the 211th January, 1826. the insol. vent, for the first time, stated that lie was merely conducting the shop at Mortlak: for his non, and that he was not possessed of any property. At that meeting Mr. Dillon, of Mr. Todd's establish. ment, reminded the insolvent of a former conversation, in which he had mentioned that he set up his eldest soh in business at Reading, and his second at Mortlake. The insolvent then said that when he gave the guarantee he was in expectation of some assistance from Isis wife's friends, and only did what any father would do for a son. lie further admitted he had failed three years before at Rosehill, and had not then any property. The insolvent being charged with not stating this fact at the time the guarantee was in agitation, did not deny the concealment ; and to an imputation of false repre sentations, he replied, " perhaps I did a little." The insolvent be ing asked on that occasion (In reference to • former conversation), what he had done with the houses ? answered, theist he had none. Mr. Dillon told the insolvent that lie would better consult his re putation if he proved he had. This witness, on his cross-examination by Mr. Cooxt, said he had not brought the account-books containing the particu lars of the credit transaction. At that time Mr. Dillon was managing clerk, but witness was present at a conversation, dusing which Mr. Dennis, the Solicitor of insolvent's son, talked about his client's atfairs, but did not mention in the hearing of witness that the sun would pay a dividend of 17s. or 16s. 9d. in the pound. This witness being re-examined, stated that a deed had been submitted to Messrs. Todd and Co. to sign ; but that they refused to comply, as such act would have been a discharge of the present insolvent. The insolvent, examined by Mr. Cooxx, said lib did not know that the gentleman he met about the guarantee was Mr. Dil lon. Whoever that person was, he mentioned that the goods were gone. All the articles in the shop at Mortlake were given up to the son's creditors, Messrs. Todd and Co. and by them were taken away and sold. The value of the g oods at Mortlake was M. Ile could not tell what the goods in the shop at Reading were worth, _ . . . - Thomas Ford (son to the insolvent) examined by Mr. Cooct, deposed that his father went to the house at Mortlake in Au gust, 1821. Foe two years before that time he was Lying with the witness. After keeping a grocer's shop at Ratcliffe-highway foe three months, his father returned to Mortlake. Witness was made • bankrupt about twelve months ago, since which time he held no communication with Messrs. Todd and Co. except through his attorney. Ills debts amounted to 2,0001. Ile did not know the value of the property which he gave up at Mortlake and at Reading. but the account which he first returned would make it amount to 171. in the pound. Expenses incurred in the Chan cellor's and Vice-Chancellor's Courts since, reduced the amount. ('rose-examined by Mr. HEATH—The litigation was occasioned by me. I meant to supersede the Commission. I have acted, and brought matters into Chancery, on the advice of my friends, and by the advice of my Solicitor (a laugh.) My object is to get damages, as I conceive I was unfairly treated. Mr. Coon E said, that the circumstances of the case reduced tt to a mere matter of debt. The goods had been forwarded to the son before the insolvent had any concern in the transaction. The guarantee for which only the insolvent was now responsible must be deetped • subsequent proceeding, and could not influence the previous despatch of the goods, and therefore no charge of fraudu lent in.ention can be thence retrospectively conveyed to the original cause of credit, whether given on misrepresentations or net. Be sides, the goods' at Mortlake had been disposed of in payment of the debt to Messrs. Todd and Co._ _ _ _ ...--..- - Mr. HEATH, in reply, contended that a cane of fraud had been Indubitably made out, particularly since the production of the In solvent's son as a witness. The insolvent, without any property or any expectation of means more than the support which he de rived from his son, had the hardihood to induce persons to advance goods on his guarantee by insinuations and assertions of property in his possession. Notwithstanding the advantage taken of Mr. Dil lon's absence this day, it was sufficiently evident that the goods would not have been sent to the son without the insolvent's guaran tee; else why was the guarantee, as a matter of supererogstion, given when the credit required had already'been yielded without it. The collusion between the insolvent and his son was manifest. Every feature of the case proved the family compact, and he trusted that the insolvent would receive his meed of retribution for his Aare in the imposition. The COURT, in addressing the insolvent, observed—" Mr. Ford, it is clear that your case is included in the 18th section of the Act of Parliament. The excuse which you have adduced in vindication of your conduct is not valid in law or on the principles of morality. You had no right to allege possession of property to benefit your son, by procuring credit on such fictitious assurances. You were evidently a participator in inveigling the creditors to give and the judgment of the Court therefore is. that you be not discharged out of custody, nor receive any benefit from the Act for eight calendar months, during which you shall be confined within the walls of the prison, and not entitled to the privilege of the rules." WESTMINSTER SESSIONS, THURSDAY, JAN. 5. The General Quarter Sessions for the City and Liberty of West. minuet commenced this morning at the Guildhall. From the Report presented to the Court by Mr. Nodder, the Governor of Tothillfields Bridewell, it appears the calendar is comparatively light, there being but 115 prisoners for trial, charged with felonies, misdemeanors, &c. and only six on the traverse paper. The Grand Jury having been sworn— The CHAIRMAN said it was highly sutisfactory for him to state that there was nothing in the calendar which called upon him to make any remark. The Grand Jury then retired, to find the bills for felonies ; and the Petit Jury having been sworn, the Court proceeded tin the traverse paper. W n. Chinks Payne stood indicted for fraud. The prisoner called upon Mr. slortinier, • Solicitor, residing In the Albany, and represented himself as the son of a fanner of the name of Lintott, living at Breather, in Sussex ; and after some preliminary conversation, in the course of which he displayed an intimate knowledge of the place and its inhabitants, proceeded to wriest the loon of Ni., an M said he had been disappointed of • remittance, arid had been unexpectedly called upon to de. fray the expenses of his brother's funeral. Alr. Alortimer, who is himself a native of Bomber, entertaining no suspicion of the prisoner being an imposter, lent him the required sum. After. wards, having ascertained that he had been cheated, and hap pening to meet the prisoner in the street, he gave him into custody. • Veedict—Gaitry. Sentenced to three months' imprisonment.

NY.AV 1 1 7E1'111MS AWD AlEASUßlM—Yntertity a tradesman came before the Lord Mayor m complain that the City rams had refused to stamp a measure although it was accurate in its dimen sions. according to the legal measure. Ile produced an iron vessel, in which was inscribed " Imperial half peck." lie had, he said, come all the way from Ireland, and had procured 131 of these vessels to be made of wrought iron, as the least perishable mate rial, for the use of the Government officers at the outports, to serve BA standards. The Hall-keeper of Guildhall, however, positively refused to stamp the vessels, although he admitted they were per fectly accurate. No reason was assigned for the refusal, except that it was contrary to praitice to stamp iron vessels, that there was a prodigious outcry against such vessels by the makers of wooden measures, who exclaimed against things of so durable a nature as a ruinous innovation. The LORD MAYOR observing that there was a piece of brass affixed to the iron vessel, about two inches below the brim, for the purpose of reciting the stamp, said, that all yowls must be stamp. ed close to the top. It would, he said, be evidently improper to stamp vessels in the manner proposed by the complainant, as they might be filed down to the stamp, or the stamp itself, as it was intended to be ono separate piece of metal, might be removed and affixed to another vessel. Bat his Lordship saw no reason why iron. vessels might not be stamped in • proper manner. When used for dry measure, as was proposed in this case, he was not aware that they were as perishable as wood, or more perishable titan other metallic measures whicb were stamped without objection or hesita tion. His Lordship then sent for Mr. Temple, the llall.keeper, who has the superintendence of the weights and meaures offices, to hear t he grounds of the refusal. Mr. Temple attended, and stated that lie had objected to stamp the iron measures on the ground of custom. There wan no instance of the stamping iron measures, and the process was extremely dif ficult and inconvenient. Hed not not, however, act upon his own discretion in this matter, but upon the authority of the City Lands Committee, who controlled the business, under the advice of the City Solicitor. About eleven years ago, an application was made to have some iron measures stamped, and the opinions of the City Law Authorities were taken on the aubject- They considered that the Corporation ought nut to stamp them, and upon this opinion the City Lands Committee had declined to comply with the appli cation. Ile had acted upon this declaration, but he could not state what were the legal grounds in which this decision was made. The Loan Mayon considered that custom alone could not war rant the refusal to comply with the present application. if any new material were discovered that was adapted at well as wood to form measure, why should it be rejected Things were now made of iron, the idea of which had never before entered the mind of man as capable of being formed of such a material. Iron boats had been made, and iron ships were talked of. Ilis Lornehip recom mended that these vessels should he stamped, on the payment of a fee proportioned to the extra trouble. Mr. Temple said he would, as the case was one of importance to the public, submit it tie the City Lands Committee, and to the City Law Officer'. The LORD Mayon approved of the course. At the same time his Lordship said to Mr. Temple that very numerous complaints had been made to him by parties won stated ,that they could not get their measures stamped, and are consequently rendered liable to penaltica. Mr. Temple stated that no selection was made; the names of parties were put down as the came, and their measures were stamped in turn, and bnly a certain number were stamped for each person. The LORD .11 Avon expressed himself satisfied with these regu. (*lions. The opinion of the City Solicitor on leveret points relative to the New Measure Act has been taken, who said that old pewter pots, if they be reduced to the standard size; and the old marks erased, may be stamped, and that the same may be done with respect to the coal measures. -There are, upon the best calculation, 1,800,000 ale and beer measures in the city and suburbs. Of these 49,040 pots have been stamped at the measure office, from the 28th of November to the 31st of December. As they have not so many poisons employed at the measure office, Westminster, it will be some time before the whole are completed, and the publicans, if the Act were to be put in execution, are liable to the penalties affixed to non-compliance. There have been stamped 2680 great wine measures, 3268 pints, and 9495 small measures, and other measures, in the whole 22,992. The new standards are about one-sixth larger than the old wins measures, and onc.sixtieth smaller than the old beer measures. The new dry measure is about one-thirty-second part larger than the old. Great quantities of the old beer measures are made to serve by having the bottoms a little raised. The poorer classes are much discontented with the new measure, as they consider they will suffer by the regulation, while the wine drinkers will gain. The trial of the measures in the city is extremely strict. as in the olden time, and the capacity of every pot is tried by water from the standard measure, while at Westminster only half a dozen or little more are tried out of each lot, and the rest are stamped on the faith of those which were tried. Such is the popular reliance placed in the superior attention given, time immemorial, by the =potation, with respect to the ful! and loyal measure for the use of hid Majesty's subjects, that during the last fortnight a number of measures which had been tried at IVestminster were afterwards brought to Guildhall in order that the city seal might Le Im pressed upon thew. The fees in the city for trying anti stamping pewter pots are three-pence per dozen. Those upon the regula tion of weight are precisely similar. The labour is by this allow ance barely paid. The fees paid elsewhere are higher. In all cases of reference to local custom its ratio to the new standard is to be specified in the contract or the contract to be void. Local measures may be used If their proportion to the new stand ard be ascertained and impressed npon them. The proportions are net easily ascertainable by those in the country. Numbeesat local measures have been sent to Guildhall to be stamped, but they have been rejected. GUILDHALL. A Szatous Joxs.—Two young men, named John and Thomas Fynn, underwent examination yesterday before Mr. Alderman H St: HOLEY upon a charge of felony, under the following circum stances A journeyman carpenter, named Johnson, engaged in making some alteration* at Messrs. Gi{dart and Palmer's. paper stainers, Old Fish-street, on entering the premises early on Tuesday morning, threw his grrat-coat across a counting-house stool in a comer of the warehouse below, while he went to commence his work in one of the upper stories. lie saw it lying safe when he went to breakfast, hat upon his return it had disappeared. There are four or five-and-twenty men and boys employed about the pre mises, and on the alarm being given by Johnson, they mostly joined him in making a general search from the roof to the basement of the house. At length the desired object was discovered, concealed under a heap of paper shavings in the cellar, and it was deemed ad. risable to leave it in the state it was found, with a view to detect the party who had placed it there. Mr. Dever, the clerk, having observed that all the persona in the house, except the prisoner Thomas Flynn, who was a sort of a superintendent, had left the premises without going to the cellar, went away himself soon after eight o'clock in the evening, but detcrtnined to remain about the neighbourhood, and watch until Flynn came out. About nine o'clock. the prisoner John walked up to the warehouse, and looked towards the upper part, when a large blue paper parcel was immediately lowered from a window by a long string, and taken povsesston of by him. Mr. Dever requested the assistance of a watchman, but he refused to tallow him, and lie therefore by him self seised John and the bundle, which be immediately discovered to be the carpenter's coat ; he called again for the assistance of the watchman (which, however, he did not obtain), and ultimately, with the aittof s neighbour, who is a constable, secured both pri soners in the Compter. Thomas Flynn, in his defence, declared he only had the coat by way of joke originally ; but when such an outcry was made about it, and so many threats of prosecution and transportation were dealt out, he became too much alarmed to admit that it was himself that had hidden it, and he therefore thought the only way to prevent the fact trom being proved against Win, would be to take the coat off the premises at night. and send it back again as a parcel by an errand-cart next day, by which means all clue to him would have been destroyed. The idea of stealing it never entered his mind. John Flynn said he was an apprentice with Mr. Galloway, the engineer, and that his brother called on him is the course of the day, represented that he was going to purchase a great-coat, and asked him to come and meet hint at nine o'clock. He went to Mr. Uildart's aceordihgly, looked up to see if his brother had done work, saw the pareel lowered, was sarpvised, and wee looking at it, when lie was seized by the clerk. The carpenter identified the coat, and the Alderman, in corn. ' mining the prisoners for ttial, observed, that however much their story, their appearance, and the circumstance of their both being in good employ, weighed in their favour din his mind, he still thought it was a case which lie must send to a Jury. The watch man's conduct must be represented to the Deputy of the Werd.— Committed. BOW-STREET. A young man, nameifiiir;ri(ioie,;as yesterday brought be fore Sir R. Bin?: tg by Ledbittet, the police constable, into whose custody he had been given by Sir Henry Wright Wilson, Ban. a Magistrate for the county of Middlesex, for stealing two suits of clothes, the property of the said Sir Henry Wright Wil son. The prosecutor had applied to the Chief Magistrate for a warrant to apprehend the prisoner, but Sir IL Birnie declined to grant one, and adopted the milder course of issuing a summons, which was given to bedbitter, who attended at Sir H. W. Wilson's house at Chelsea at the time that the defendant was appointed to call for some money due to hum ; hut when he dill appear he was given in charge by the prosecutor for felony. The defendant was apprenticed to the prosecutor from the Foundling Hospital, and Lewis A. Petit, Esq. one of the Committee, and Mr. Livesley, the Secretary to that Institution, attended to watch the proceedings on his behalf. When the young man was called forward to answer the com plaint of Sir H. Wilms, who sat on the bench, Sir R. Birnie, with a view. as It seemed, to make the ease as short as possible, In. formed the gentlemen front the hospital of the circumstances under which the defendant appeared before him. He was apprenticed for seven years to Sir 11. W. Wilson, sea servant, and there was a stipulation in the Indenture tae was the custom with the hospital), Vito at the expiration of his apprenticeship his master should furnish hint with clothes to the value of hve pounds, in order to enable him to go to another service. Now it appeared, that when the term had expired, Sir FL W. %Mum chose to retain the defendant In his service, where he remained for some years, and when hie term of free service began, Sir Henry gave him the quantity of clothes stipulated for in the indenture, arid Fonoeived that hi fitting him out fto remain in his employment he had lust as much performed the contract to if the defendant had gone into another family. The defendant lately left the service, and took with him two suits of livery. claiming them as his own. The se were the short facts ; and the only question, as it appeared to him (Sir R. Birnie) was, whether the clothes were the property of the prosecutor or of the defendant. Sir H. W. Wilson then in a loud tone, and greatly in the f orm of a set speech, stated his case, in spite of repeated intimations from the Chief Magistrate that it was only a waste of time. Ever since the defendant came into his service he had been regularly supplied with two suits of clothes a year. His evaislishment were w all o stl .a pplied with clothes twice a year, as Burkit, his tailor, wh o had u worked for his family—no inconsiderable one in this coon ,l try—for 35 years could testify. The defendant, when hc first came into his service, received presents of linen film Lady Wilson . and when his apprenticeship expired he wall furnished with a suit of clothes according to the terms of the indenture. When those clothes were worn out he had more, and so on until he left the fa mily, and then he chose to take two old suits with him, on the pretext that lie (Sir H. W. Wilson) had said that he would make him a present of his liveries whenever heleft him. Mr. Petit, after several interruptions 'from the prosecutor, who seemed pecaliarly impatient of any remark from that gentleman, I asked how long the defendant remained in the service after the terns of apprenticeship had expired. Sir 11. W. ‘Gilson answered five years. Mr. Petit—And so, Sir Henry Wilson, after being faithfully served by IL.s young man for twehe years, you think it right to bring hint here under a warrant for felony, because he took away a few old garments. Sir It. Maxis: said there was no warrant. He told Sir Henry Wilson that servants had a notion that they were entitled to the cast off liveries, and however mistaken the young man might be, it could hardly he said that he had committed a felony. He (Sir It. Birnie) therefore merely granted a summons. Sir H. Wilson—So you see, Sir, there was no warrant. Sir B. Bin N IE-1 must say, however, that Sir henry applied I for a warrant. _ _ Mr. Petit said, that warrant or no warrant, the defendant was brought there in custody, and at the suit of the prosecutor. Sir H. BIRNIE said he did nut consider the young man in cus tody at all. Sir 11. Wilton said the simple question was, whether lie was entitled to the clothes or not, lie would show that he had fur nished the derentiant with a suit of the proper value when his term of apprenticeship expired, and that he never promised that he shatild take his liveries with him when he left the service. Mr. Burkit,;fiTtaibr,;;; then called, anti that he charged five guineas per suit for the detendant's liveries, and that he did not know of Sir Henry Wilson's making any promise of the kind alluded to. Sir H. Wi!son-then made several obsesvations about the kindness which he said the defendant had experienced in his family, and the presents he had received, and said he might have remained, but he was obliged to discharge him for bad behaviour. Mr. Petit—Discharge him ? Pray was it not at his own desire that he left your service? - Sir H. 11 ikon said he believed it was. Mr. Petit—Did he give you warning, or you him ? Sir H. Wilson said the delendant.gsve warning. Mr. Petit—And yet you talk about flhcharging him. Sir H. Wigan said he had behaved very ill, which the defendant denied. • Sit R. BIRXTE said the clothes had better be prndueed. Mr. Petit-0 ! yes, let the old clothes be produced by all means. Sir H. Wilson—Old clothes ! You may talk of old clothes as mach as you like. I don't know whether you keep servants or not, but— - Mr. Petit—l don't attend here to answer questions. Sir IL {{'ikon—There is no occasion for irritation. We are not met here for irritation. Mr. Petit-1 am not come here for irritation, as yon exprese it, but simply to watch over the interests of the young man. It is the practice of the excellent institution of which I have the honour to be a member, never to desert those who have once been under its care so long as they deserve protection, but to continue to them in their maturer years, the same fostering kindness which they ex perience in their infancy. I certainly could not help feeling a little hart when I heard you talk about your discharging him, when it appeared that lie discharged himself. And with respect to the clothes, it appears that you would have sent him into the world naked after twelve years of faithful service. Sir H. Wilson denied that he would have done so. Mr. Petit—Why you did not know that he had clothes to wear, or a place to put his head in. Sir H. %%Ilion repeated his denial, and again said that the de fendant had behaved very Sir R. BIRNIE said he observed, on the hack of the indenture, *certificate of good character, signed by Sir Henry Wilson. The clothes were now produced. They consisted chiefly of jackets and breeches, certainly very considerably the worse for Wilson's_wear. By Sir 11. ilson's desire they were handed over to Mr. Burkit ' who seemed by no means anxious to have the charge of them. Mr. Petit said he hoped Sir H. Wilson was satisfied, now that he had got his old clothes. Sir R. BIRNIE had for some time evinced a great desire to put an end to the inquiry, and he now said that the question before him was a very simple one. The young man had taken away the clothes, Improperly perhaps, strictly speaking, but he had done so under the notion that he was entitled to them • and there was not the slightest imputation even of constructive felony. The defendant was therefore discharged. Mr. Petit—Young man, you are now liberated, and you will go forth from this office with a character perfectly pure and unsullied ; for, as Sir Richard Ilirnie hu said, there was not the slightest pretext for an imputation even of constructive felony. I will just add, that so well rtatistied am I With the reedit of this inquiry, and so convinced am I of the goodness of your character, that if you want a aituatfon' or assistance of any kind, I will give it you with all my heart. There had been a pretty stmng Manifestation of feeling by a ra ther numerous miditory throughout the inquiry, and when the last remarks were made, there was a very loud expression of applause. several times repeated, In of the efforts of Sir It. Butwaz to check it. MAR I.IIOR OUGII-ST R Err. Ronnwav charac ters, of the names of If illis. Williams, Farman, and Mead, were brought to this office yesterday, on suspicion of being concerned in robbing the house of Lord Loraine, 36, Vpper Brook -street, on Tuesday night. Lord Lovaine's butler deposed that, about ten o'clock on Tues day night. having occasion to a neighbouring hotel on a momentary business, he left the area gate open, and upon his return found that there had been stolen from the hall three travelling coats, two travelling cloaks, and two pelisses. In the pocket of one of the mats, his own property, was a pocket-book containing a 30/. pro missory note and several valuable memorandums. One of the footmen deposed, that while the butler was out the bell rang, and, upon his answering it, a person, whom he was con fident wan the prisoner Williams, Inquired which was Gilbert street. Witness informed the prisoner that the street inquired for was opposite, on which he went away. Mr. Dv E H —Are you confident that Williams is the person who made the inquiry ? Witness—l have no hesitation in saying that he is. Seholetield, the officer, deposed that in consequence of the in formation he had received, he proceeded to Lord Lovaine's house, and examined the area-gate, which had no appearance of having been forced. He then went to Willis's house in Gilbert -street, which lie found Williams entering with a bottle of wine, and knowihg the whole of the prisoners to be suspicious characters, be brought them to this office. The prisoners, in defence, denied all knowledge of the robber:, and Williams said the servant was mistaken in his identity, for that lie had not been in Brook-street on the day in question. Sir. Dv En observed, that although appearances were very much against the prisoners; yet the evidence was insufficient to warrant aity further proceedings against them. They must therefore be discharged. The prisoners were discharged accordingly. AN AFFECTING EVENT.—It seldom falls to OUT lot to recite a more affecting death than the following :—Franklin Shippe and his brother Calvin, Of Shrewsbury, in this county, started very early on the morning of the 18th inst. with their dog and guns for the mountains in pursuit of game. They did not use the precaution, either to take refreshments with them, or any breakfast before they departed. They notwithstanding climbed the mountains with unusual dexterity eager, probably, to participate in the chase. After wandering a considerable part of the day, l and being rather bewildered, they attempted to return, but soon found themselves much exhausted, cold, and fatigued. Franklin soon found himself so much so, that he could proceed no further, and Calvin, rather than leave his brother to perish, proposed to take him on his back, . and attempted to get out of the forest—but on trial, soon found this impracticable, and the last resort was for Calvin to leave his brother, and save himself if lie could. Franklin had by this time become incapable of utterance, from cold and fatigue, and Calvin was hardly able to travel. However, the latter broke up some branches, and inaile a bed for Franklin, placed him on it secured the dog to his feet in order to keep them from freezing, and took leave but with very little hopes of seeing him again alive. It was then nearly night. Calvin, after wandering ; - until he was about to yield up, providentially came across some, of the neighbours, and pursuit was immediately made for Franklin, who was, after much fatigue, found. But not until the vital spark had nearly flown. Ile was only seen to gasp once or twice ! The dog was found wh. r hg was left, and exhibited marks of great affliction by bowline and licking the remains of poor Franklin. Some further assistance was obtained, and the deceased was conducted through a very difficult passage to the place he left so cheerfully in the morning. Calvin has recovered, and in addition to the above particulars, we understand he says that they would both doubtless have been enabled to have saved themselves if they, had only taken a crust of bread, .and that lie proposed to rill the dog to satiate hunger and give them strength, but Franklin was unwilling, and said lie had rather perish himself. The deceased was about twenty-t el years of age.-4iulland (Vermont) Herald, Nov. 29. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL S, 1 MiIIDAY, JANtrAItY i. The Room WAR pretty well at betting was slack.
