Gentleman then moved that the Order of the Day for the Call of the House be read, for the pur pose of its being discharged. Mr. M. A. TAYLOR said, that although he should not object to the motion now proposed, yet he could not avoid repeating his decided hostility to every one of the votes for best/ping these grants. If the Hon. Gentlemen were satisfied with what had passed, he could not. of course, prevent him from waiving his opinion; hut as the votes would be again discussed in the Bill, he should reserve to himself the right of again expressing his remlution, not to grant one shilling of the public money to such purposes. Mr. PROTHZIIO6.—The Hon. Gentleman had called on In;;; to say, if he were satisfied with what hail passed ? His votes were a sufficient proof that he was not satisfied; but as lie had himself required from the House that they should be bound by their former decision, so he should think himself hound by the opinions expressed that night by a very great majority. He was of opinion. that the sooner tha harmony of the House was restored the better; he, therefore, should persist iu the motion for dis charging the Call, to the full confidence that the votes already objected to should not be pressed. Mr. TtliitNalr illgteled, that it might be as well to postpone the motion fur a few days.

APPEAL OF MURDER. WILLIAM ASHFORD V. ABRAHAM THORNTON. The further argument in this extraordinary cause was resumed this morning. So early /14 half-past keven o'clock a number of persons ay seraWed round the doors of the Court, and a num ber of persons also stationed themselves steer the private entrance, by which l'ltoratom a s s sis nally conducted into Court, in the hope of having a view of WM. The crowd had oscreased very much. before the Judges took their seats, mid it riquired the utmost exertions of the constables to prevent the people from forcing their way . into Court. At. niue o'clock Thornton entered the ('Dort, its the custody of Mr. Gibbet), the tip-stall, and at cons ponied by one of the keepers of the King's Bench prison. He took Isis seat in his usual situst ttttt behind the bar—and appeared in excellent health and spirits. About half-post nine o'clock, two respectably dressed womeh entered that part of the Court where Thornton was placed, and sat down sitar Ision. The elder was about to say something to the Psi• aoner, when she was interrupted by Mr. BARLOW, who asked the Prisoner whether they were friends of his ? Prisoner—is No." Female—" I am the aunt of William Ashford." The women were then directed to Lt o round, in order to take a rest iu another part of the Court— but they did not ag sin make their appearance• Mr. Jdistice BAYLEY took hie seat on the Bench at ten o'clock, and ditposed of some ussimpoitsist business._ Lord ELLExttoxouctt, Mr. Justice ABBOTT, and Mr. Justice floi.auvo, came two Court a lit. ,the before eleven o'clock. Mr. CHITTY then proceeded to address their Lordships, iu reply to the argument delivered by Mr. TiIIDALL last Term. He said he hoped he 'would be able to satisfy their Lordships that the claim of the Appellee to wage battle• ought not to 'be allowed, and that the trial awarded should be .by a Jury of the country. His Learned Frieed had divided his argument into four heads—first, • that the trial by battle was the right of the Ainwllee. not of the Appellant-2d, that the counter-plea was objectionable, tie well on the ground of being vague and multife r as that it was Mac curate in point of form-3d, that, if it were .cep correctly drawn, the replication was it sufficient Answer to it—owl 4th, that the judgment of the Court must be, that the Appellee should be eittiirly acquitted, and go mahout bail. Wish respect I t , .the first point, whether the option of ilia' by bottle or Jury was confined to the Appellee, lie ti gist lie had conceded that point. He (Mr. Chitty,) had admitted, that the option was generally in the Ap pellee, llee and not in the Appellant—and he had only cited cases to phew, that, in particular instances. it was not so. On that pout of the subject, then. fort, he would not expatiete. With restact to the second point. his Learned' Friend argued, that in till the books, except Stentisford, it was held that the A ppellot.t could not oust the Appellee of Isis right to wage batik, utiles/some single .Art, of a moat stalking nature, aniounting to a proof of gull , . existed.
