Yesterday the ex and present Vestry Clerk of this parish, attenJeci by the Overseers and other paro chial and official gentlemen, appeared at the public office, Bow -street, for the purpose of making a third attempt to settle the passing of the above parish ae counts of last year. George Rowland Minshull and Thomas Halls, Esqrs., were present, for the special purpose of passing them. After tho Overseers of the last year (Messrs. Jeremy and Griffiths) had been sworn to the ac counts, Mr. Corder said, that on the last occasion he had submitted to their Worships' notice the fact of Dr. Mitford, the Chairman of the Reading Quarter Ses sions, having refused, on the Overseers of his parish presenting their accounts (in which a dinner and expences were charged) to be passed, to allow them their expenses and dinner for visiting the poor chil dren, considering the office to be a gratuitous one. Their Worships had refused to take that as any au thority, and he now cited a paragraph from Burn's Justice, in which it sta;:ed that Overseers could not demand their expellees. He therefore contended that the sum charged for dinner, &e., amounting to 181., was an illegal one, and should not be passed. Mr. HALLS, as a father and a Magistrate, would never put his name against the paltry expellees, yet an odium was cast upon them. Mr. MINSHULL—There certainly is no odium cast upon the overseers, purely an objection, and (although I must differ frona my brother Magis trate's opinion) a well-founded one, to unnecessary expences incurred in their duty; such as going over to Greenwich to take their dinner when they might have returned home to have dined. Mr. Corder remarked, that certainly reason able expences would not be objected to ; that at the parish of Saint Mary's, Whitechapel, two guineas was thought a plentiful allowance for ex pences in visiting the poor children ut Enfield, which was a much greater distance. Mr. ROBINSON—How many poor children are there at Norwood ?--Mr. Corder : Forty. Mr. RowNeos—llut is it necessary that they should be visited by no le.s a number than twelve gentlemen ?—Mr. Corder : Most certainly not, sir. Mr. ROBINSON—I should certainly be of that opinion. In our parish two overseers are thought quite sufficient for the purpose of sisiting. Mr. MlNsuuLL—Well, it is really necessary that we should come to some understanding. lam of the same opinion us Mr. Robinson; and I think it bettor that the objections shall be decided by the majority of Magistrates. Mr. HALLS—Very well, Mr. Minshull; I must then differ from you; I cannot consent to throw Mr. MixsutiLL—You are mistaken, I can assure you, Mr. Halls, in using the word odium. None of the gentlemen present wish to cast anything of the kind upon the overseers. Mr. Corder and other parishioners—Certainly not. Mr. HALLS (in warmth)—But I say it is odium— odium which the press and the country have been employed to upon the gentlemen lately acting in the parish. Mr.Corder—But, Mr. Halls, I never employed the press to cast any odium. It is, lam confident, and every gentleman will allow it, too independent to countenance such paltry proceedings. Mr. Hau4—l did not say you did. There is an acrimony displayed, however, in the conduct of the present parochial offizzrs that is truly disagreeable. Ur. Corder—There in, I submit, rather a spirit of forbearance. Mr. Mmititim—Well, enough has been said on this subject. It is necessary to come to some deter mination. What do you mean to allow for the ex penses on the occasion ? Mr. Corder—Ton pounds, takingoti the eight, which we think extremely liberal. Mr. ROBINSON—SO I think ; as they might have easily prcTeeded to their own mouses for the purposg of taking their dinner. Mr. Serewy—But your worship should recollect that we are all men of business, and not accustomed to dine at such hours. We were engaged until five in the evening, and for that reason adjourned to CI tavern. Mr. MINsuLTLL—WeII, SI. have been deducted, which I think is extremely liberal, and I shall, there fore, settle that. Mr. Corder next objected to Mr. Roche charging 361. for conducting prosecutions of huslmntla who, had deserted their families, Bce., when it ayiseared by the vestry minutes that that very duty was im posed upon him it; his oflice of vestry clerk, Mr. Roche-13a I contend that these prosecu tions ere criminal, and therefore I am entitled to the sum. People would have a vestry clerk do all the duties of the parish. After a long and stormy discussion, in which much irrelevant matter was mixed UT) in consequence, of bystanders interfering, it was decided th 4 those pro secutions were not criminal, and consequently Mr. Rothe ;ells not entitled to . 361. Mr. ROBINSON—Are you a vestry clerk now, Mr. Roche ? Mr. Roche—No, Sir, Ido not li now that place of nonentity. (Laughter.) The respective sums having then been deducted, and snwe other trivial business disposed of, th?. Sessions broke up.

ItitrAfir: Desday last, a question of much importance in the law of evidence occurred, and although from • the late hour of the trial at which the 'question arose, the discussion was Iniel we conceive th , it the decision of the Comt was of so much con + equenee in this department. of constitutionai tea to justify us in thus calling the public at tention to the discussion. • The question alluded to arose in the cross examination of hare, the accomplice,' and one of the chief witnesses fur the prosecution. Mr. Cockburn very judici ;7 proposed to begii; that cross-examination, by endeavouring to bring . out from that degraded person's own mouth, the whole history of his past life, sb as to show that • he was utterly unworthy of cl edit. With that view, after putting a few preliminary questions, . which at first startled the Court and the Connsel for the prosecution, Mr. Cockburn avowed, that he meant to ask the witness, " if he hail ever • been engaged in any other murder than th at .! under investigation,"—and to follow it up by asking, " How many murders he had committed in the course of his life," and other the like questions.. - Upon this, the Counsel for the prosecution objected that such a line of •intesrogation was utterly inadmissible; they argu ed that a w itness was under the protection of the Court—that lie was compellable to appear—but that it would'be a ' grievous hardship, if every man put into the wit ness-box could be- examined as to the whole transactions of '!is life, which he had no oppor tunity of explaining by proof in his own vindica- • tion, in consequence of which it was said that valuable testimony might often be exposed to unjust suspicion, and the •kelings and reputa tion of every witness wantonly injured and out raged. In support of this objection the Lord Advocate referred to Hume's Treatise on Crimi nal Law, vol. 2. p. 340. To this objection the Counsel for the prisoner answered, that the doctrine of Mr. Hunie was . inapplicable, in so far as it referred almost ex clusively to questions of admissibility only, and they maintained that no precedent (at least in times of any authority) could be shown for shut- • ting out such information as was here meant to • be elicited from the witness's own mouth, in or- • der to establish the extent ef the credibility due to him. Holding the point as open, it was said that the propriety of putting the questions ob jected to was scar-evident. Witnesses wero. There instruments presented to the Court snti the Jury, for ascertaining the truth.— HUic`C it was indis pensably necessary that the means of weighing their value and worth should be as copiously furnished as possible. Were it practicable, there fore, it would be desirable in every case to allow every thing affecting the character of a witness - to be proved even by extraneous evidence, but life was too short to admit of this. When the reference, however, was merely to the witness himself, a party already produced in Court, and under examination, this brief and simple test could never be refused. If die question also was new, it was said that the law of England, which from the greater extent of practice in that coon- . try, was more mature on questions of evidence, afforded the most direct authority in support of such questions as th e se now o bj ecte d t o . I t was scarcely possible to read the report of any trial in that country, without seeing numerous in stances of cases decided by dexterous cross-ex =illations, bringing out from the mouth of the chief witnesses circumstonces sufficient to cast their evidence. The Judges present, by a majority, repelled the objection to :.he questions proposed. Lord Meadowbank being of opinion that the ques tions were incompetent ; while Lord Mackenzie and the Lord Justice Clerk thought that the. questions might be proposed —reserving it to the witness to answer or not those which related to criminal accusations against himself. We are happy that this was the deterldinatiou of the Court, both for the cake of 'd ie l aw an d for the security of the verdict an,ft conviction in this atrocious case. As few 'paints, however, of higher interest, and of ice extensive applica tion in criminal law, tan arise, we wish to enter a little more fully into the discussion than wa* practicably 14 the trial. Adihough we do not place much reliance on the older decisions of the Court of Justiciary, (nor indeed till Mr. Hope came to preside ha it,) yet we doubt if there has been a period ke century, even in the Court of Justiciary, ii which such questions would have, been en t i re l l excluded. It i s true, we belie ve , that in the, former practice, the mode or time of introducius such questions was not exactly that adopted in Burke's case. The old course was, for the counsel for prisoners to object in tiniinc. to ntee reception of such a witness as Flare, and to ofFek to prove them by his own initial examination, This was of course allowed ;—and then almo s t as gweat a latitude Was taken in canvassing the history of a suspected witness, out - of hiN own mouth, as even the English practice allows after which, the result generally was, that the Court athnitted him cum 120t11—that is to sav, reserving it to the jury to judge of the credibi lity of the witness, which is just in substance what the counsel for Burke desired here. Now, it seems monstrous to argue, that in a case affecting the life or fame of a party er. cused, the opportunity of bringing these cii cum stnnees, so essential to the credit of a witness, before the Jury, should be lost In. , a mere pimc— tilious objection to the time of putting the ques tions. If th 9 fine of examination was competent in any scrape, no time was too late befor e the witness retired, and was out of the reach of the Court and the Jury. Suppose, indeed, the questions proposed by Mr. Cockburn, here, I_-iati occurred to a Juryman, would any Judge hav e said•that they were incompetent and immateri a l, and thus precluded the juryman from obtainin g any satisfaction as to the history and character of. the chief witness on whom his verdict was to depend ? We can only say, that such a deter mination would prohabiy have• been fatal to the prosecution, v,'ith any jury. It strikes us that this o'njection, founded on the time of putting such questions, is something like a difficulty early started in the Jury Court, —but now put to rest. It was at first laid down there, according to the old rules of Scots prac tice, that a witness put into the jury -box could • not be cross-examined except in reference to something that he had said in chief. But this rule his been altered by a late statute, and it is enacted that a witness once called in the Jury Court, can now be examined by the opposite party on every thing pertinent to the issue. But it was argued that such a latitude of cross-examination as Burke's Co unse l p ro p ose d , would expose every witness in a Court of Jus tice to the,most cruel oppression, for which there is no remedy, in so far as insinuations against his character and reputation m a y t h us be intro.
