' all the judges in Ornichuod V. Barker, was applicable to „ he present case, and that it was ens thing to swear al legiance to one particular sovereign, and another to swear it to a succession of potentates. Mr. Baron ALDERSON—Ia the case to which you have m . just referred, Lord Chief Justice Wiles observes that what Lord Cate says in the 2ii Instil, 479, and 3d In stit., 165, that an oath cannot he altered nor a new one imposed but by authority of Parliament, plainly relates only to promissory oaths or oaths of office, as those . of privy councillors, judges, sheriffs, and the hke, and , not at all to oaths taken by witnesser. Sir F. KELLY apprehended that nothing could be found ! in that case, or anywhere else, to show that where the common or the statute law prescribed a particular oath, it could be altered except by Act of Parliament. And now he would conclude this branch of his argument Icy adverting to the circumstances of the times during which the Act of George. lIL was passed. Although it was true that the two sons of the Pretender existed in the reign of George lIL, there was very little danger to the House of Hanover from the claims of tat family, and there was, consequently, no reason to nuppose that the Legislature intended that the words of the oath of ab juration should bear a larger construction than the ne cessity of.the:case required. The argument was then :adjourned till Wednesday next. MARK HCrISH. G RAVESEND STAR PACKETS. Fore Cabin. Saloo n . To or from Gravesend and L0nd0n........ •• 10d. .

COURT OF EXCHEQUER, ✓an. 26. (Sittings in Banco.) MILLER V. SA!..O3IONS. Mr. Sergeant CHANNELL (in continuation from our paper of yesterday) said—lle should, in bringing the statutes before the Court, divide them into two classes 1. Those which impose on Members of Parliament the duty of taking the oaths of abjuration and supremacy, .and incidentally those statutes generally which impose this duty on any members of the public. These he s tatutes. 2. T ue statutes of should e s ti t h e e bli gator y an exempting character. These statutes were enacting not declaratory. Under this class would come those specially affecting Jess, those affecting Quakers and Moravians, some o f w hi c h also appli e d to Jews, the Emancipation Act, and, lastly, the 1 and 2 Vie., c. 105, entitled " An Act to remove doubts as to the validity of certain oaths;" an Act general in its character, not applying to particular persons, but enacting that all per sons should be bound by an oath, administered to there in the form binding on their conscience, without respee, to any religion or sect whatever. Ile should be milieu, to hear Low it could be argued that that oath, which had been taken by all. Members of Parliament for so many years, and by all persons called to the bar, need not have een taken by them. Be did not propose to confine himself to the law as to the oath to abjuration. The present case undoubtedly turned upon that oath only, but light might be thrown on the questiop by considering the other oaths also. The first statute on the subject was the let of Eliz. c. 1, entitled, " An Act to restore to the Crown the ancient jurisdic tion over the estate ecclesiastical and spiritual, and abo lishing all foreign po veers repugnant to the same." The 19th sec, imposes on archbishops, bishops, and cer tain persons therein enumerated, the necessity of taking the oath of supremacy, and it is directed that they shall " take and receive a corporal oath upon the Evange lists." This being on the Evangelists, he should con. tend that it must have been taken on the New Testa ment. • The concluding words of the form given were— "So help me God, and by the contents of this book." The next statute was the sth of EUz. c. 5. Sec. 5 again enacts that the oath should be a corporal oath on the Evangelists, and prescribes a form of oath to be taken verbatim. Sec. 16 imposes the duty of taking this oath on Members of Parliament. It was plain that a Mem ber could only have taken this oath on the New Testa ment, and as a Christian oath. Next came the 3d ty James L, c. A. This statute had been said to contain the germ of the oath of *abjuration; but the form of the oath there given has been described in subsequent statutes as the oath of allegiance and obedience. By sec. 13 it is enacted that for the better trial how his Majesty's subjects stand affected in point of their loyalty and obedience, it should be lawful for any bishop in his diocese, or two justices of the peace, to require persons of the age of eighteen, under certain circumstances there mentioned, to take the oaths thereafter "foll ow i ng up on the Holy Evan gelista." Sec. 15 gives the form of the oath, which con cludes with the following words, similar to those used in the present oath—" And all these things I do plainly and sincerely acknowledge express words by me e and swear according to these eP" ,I3 , and according to the plain and common sense and understanding of the same words by me spoken, and a ccording to the plain and commo n sense and underst an di ng of the same words, without any equivocation or mental evasion, secret reservation whatsoever. And Ido make recognitiontiaisor knowledgment heartily, willingly upon the and sc. true faith of a Christian. So and truly, , help me God. This oath could only be taken on the Evangelists, that is the New Testament._ Baron MARTIN —Wh at that time, if required to sal yeas to become of a Jew at Sergeant CHANNELL ',. e “ 3 an oath? the Act. -take are not contemplated by Sir F. KELLY—They h a d before, and they titer© not been banished centuries stored till Cromwell's time. Sergeant CHANNELL-- tians could be admitted to t that time none bat Chris it was the express Po li cy a °f fi r ,ces- He would show that intention of the Legisla ture at that tune to ese c a s d n " e ita btit Christians. By this Act of 'Jo es I. members pressly affected, but by 7th ofJ Parliament were not ex eimesl , c. 6, a. 2, after re jectsciting that to show how gre his Majesty's loyal sub approve the said oath Et ta t eYy prostrato themselves at his Mejesty'e feet, beee ec ei n g him that it may be ad ministered to all his subje ct , a ?, it the enacted that all per sons above eighteen she gelists; and by see. 8, members of Parliament aro ex pressly required to take it. Next came 3d Charles IL, 2. '2 , c. 1. This did not alter the Oath of supremacy, as set tled by the Act of Elizibeti, a g a inst tnsuperadded the necessity et and obedience ef . James, ha. t, nor the oath of allegiance signing a declaration transubstantiation. By section 2, it is enacted that eat Member of the House of Commons shall vote or sit until of allegiance and supr em „ y, t'l he shall take the oaths make, subscribe, and audibly repeat this declarati o and he following•—then a form of declaration is given, ',h et eminent of the Lord's Supper beli eves th a t i n t h e sa there is not any transub stoatiatiese &c. Could any doubt that the Legie !attire meant the taking oe °ne these oaths "upon the Evangelists, and this chci arati the subject of a Christian e r of a specific belief on Christianity of the person takingeetrinn' as a test of the these oaths and de claration. Baron ALDERSON—I do not uhnderstand how any one could declare that he believed the sacrament of the Lord's Supper there was not ant in who did not believe in the Lord, Y t ransubstantiation, Sergeant CHANNELL—If this was • on i ntended as a test of Christianity, then it is incumbent show some Act of Parliament repea the other side to then there could be the course of legislation stopped here,llg this test. If no doubt on the subject. But William and Mary, C. 1, s. 1. It would il natzle the Ist to draw attention articularly to tai e A be necessary subject, not appear to have been noticed i n ' t "et, as it did which had taken place elsewhere on tlaeshe discussions this statute remained in force down t o 1 ‘ that Wm. IV. The Ist Win. and Mary, the Ist and 2d and s imposing the old oaths of ali erdan c e 1 , repeal the oathstitutes new mac s t on Members of Parliament, a n d en l: and supre oaths,repeat- enacting that the taking the new ing the declaration against transubstantion 8 all intents of the 30th Chas. 11., in such manner as the taking the in that and repealing the said declaration was re said oath s c Act of Chas. IL, shall be good a nd effectote tired and purpeses, as if the old oaths had been taken, further enacts, that the new oa ths are to be taken and it the same penalties as the old , a nd that M embers of under of Par liament shall take the new oaths within the or s eenee time, manner. sec, Par and in the same manner and form as they ~,, to take the old, and not in any other gives the form of the oath, which conclud es sin) 1 Sec. 6 help me God," without the words, " On the truethe er manner as the old, that must be on the that is, on the New Testament. This Act appliedgits.- Members of Parliament. Then came the Ist ~ to Mary, c. 8. which it bad been supposed repealer era,' and the old oaths. Still, down to a late tine those oaths had been adrairdstered. That Act is entitled " An and. after reciting abrogate the oaths of supremacy and allegiance, and to appoint other oaths;'' the Ist Elizabeth, e. 1, and 3(1 James 1., c. 4, enacts that no person shall be oblged tout take the said oaths. By' sec. 3, new forms are ahorised to be taken by all pereons who were required to take the previous oaths. S,?c. 5 imposes the , same penalties a s impose 3 of on failure to take the old oaths. This act did not in say way interfere vvith the declarations against transubstaaaiation. The forte of oath given by the la tute did no n con t a i n th e words " on the true faith ofe- Christian," Next came the statute of 13th William 111., C. 6. B y t hi s statute the w oath of abj urat i on -- e — e first impor e d in the form in which it is still taken. The only modi ficatious which it bad nudergelle, down to 6 th eeorg es 111., were those which Imo necessary to I meet the changes in the succession to the Crown. One other alteration was made by the statute of George iu ei 6, after defining the who constquenco of the death of the Pretender. The 13th William 111., are to take the oath of abjuration, thereby . iv p e e n rso a a m s o sr whom were not included Members of Parliament, g n s g ets 4 out the form of oath, concluding with the word s , "And . and j truly, I do make this recognition, acknowledgment, abjuration, renunciation, and promise, heartily, willinglY upon the true faith of a Christian, so h e l p 'me Gud." By sec. 10, Members of Parliament are required, before voting or sitting in the House, to take this oath in man ner following:-" that is, between nine in the morning and four in the afternoon, at the table in the middle of the House, whilst a full House of Commons is there duly sitting with their Speaker in his chair." Sec. 11 imposes a penalty of 5001. on any one voting not having taken the oath. Then came the Ist Anne, s. I, c. 22, which gives a similar form of oath with a like conclu sion, substituting the name of Anne for William. The next statute was the 6th Anne, c. 7, which by sect. 20, provided a form of oath to be taken from and after the demise of her Majesty, in which form blanks are left for the name of the Sovereign, whoever that might be, it being .at that time uncertain whether the Electress of Hanover would succeed. The Ist Geo. 1., stat. 2, c. 13, carried out the alterations contemplated by the last statute of Anne, the Electress having died shortly before Anne-by this Act a form is given, filling ep the blanks left in the form of the Act of Anne with the name of George. Sect. 17 indicts the penalty of 5001. on any Member who shall presume to vote, not having taken the said oath. This is the section under I which the present action was brought. There was in that form by this Act prescribed no real alteration of the oath, it was to be taken in such manner and tone ' therewith the other oaths and declaration against tran substantiation in the former oaths. Then came the 6th Geo. 111., c. 53, which was passed in 1766, the Pre tender having died in 1765. By th a t A oka f orm o f oat h is setoneand required Oise -taken :by all -i*IPBO7IB who by the previous Act of Ist Geo. 1., st 2, c. 13, and sth Geo. 1,, c. 29, were required to take the oath of abjura tion. This is the form in which the defendant was re quired to take the oath, but the penalties were recover able under the Ist Geo. 1., c. 13. These statutes were all which came under the first head of obligatory sta tutes. He now came to the second division of ex emptoey statutes. The first division of these were the Acts applicable to Jews. These statutes were most of them not to be found in. the ordinary edition of the statutes. The first of these was 9th Geo.L a. 24 (1722). This Act was im portant in two views of the case. It showed that Jews were expected to take the oath of abjuration in the then usual form, and that it required an Act of the Legisla ture to exempt them from this necessity. By that Act it is enacted that every person of Jewish religion in England, eighteen years of age, who had not taken the oath of Ist Geo. 1., and who should neglect or refuse to do so before December 25, 1723, should, before March 25, 1724, register his name and estate, as Papists were required to do. The next statute of this class was 10th Geo. I, c. 4. This Act was relied on as creating an exemption fee the defeodent. After raciting the last mentioned Act of 9th Ge 1., and that the greater part of the parsons thereby ufThcted had taken the oath, but that by reason of the shortness of the time all )wr d all had not been able, and that it was necessary to extend the time, then, after making certain exemptions of women and others, it proceeds to make certain provisions at to Quakers, and then proceeds:-" And whereas the font-tine: tvorde are contained in the hatter part of the oath of abjuration, viz., upon the true faith of a Chris tian; be it further enacted, that, whenever any of her Majesty's subjects processing the Jewish religion shell present himself to take the said oath of abjuration, in pursuance of the said recited Act or of this present, the said words, upon the t-ue faith of a Christian,' shall be omitted out of the said oath in administering the same to such person, and the taking the raid oath by such person professing the Jewish religion without the words aforesaid, ire like manner as Jews are admitted to be sworn to give evidence in courts of justice, shall be deemed to be a suflieieat taking of the abjuration oath within the meaning of the said recited Act." The only effect of this enactment was to allow the Jews to omit these words when taking the oath, for the purpose of the 9th Geo. 1., e. 24, but for this purpose only. It;gives no indemnity for other purposes, and thus does not all come up to the exemp tion which is contended l'or on behalf of the defendant. The next statute was the 13th Geo. IL, c. 7, an Act for naturalising foreign Protestants that should settle in the North American colonies, for which purpose they were required to take the oath of abjuration. It then enacts that when any person of Jewish religion shall present himself to take the oath, he might omit the words " on the true faith of a Christian." These were all the Acts relating to 'Tows in particular. Then as to the course of legislation with respect to Quakers. It would illustrate with what scrupulous care the Legis lature had proceeded when it proposed to relieve the Quakers. As to them no doubt the oath of abjuration was entirely repealed. The 13th and 14th Charles 11., c. 1, imposed a penalty of 51. on Quakers who should refuse to take an oath. The Toleration Act, Ist Wil liam and Mary, stet. 1, c. 18, requires Quakers to make a solemn profession of their Christian belief. The 7th and Bth William 111., c. 34, gives power to take affir mations of Quakers, instead of oaths; Ist George Stat. 2, c. 6, gives further indemnities to Quakers, and makes perpetual the 7th nad Bth William 111., C. 34, and appoints a form o f a ffi rmation. Bth George L c. 6, gives a different form of affirmation, omitting the words "in presence of Almighty God," ,which had been ob jected to as being a form of adjuration. The 22d George 11., o. 46, which makes provision for a great many things, from the price of breed to the Quaker's affirmation, recites that doubts had arisen whether it was admissible except where specially declared by an Act, of Parliament, and enacts that a Quaker's affirmation shall be admissible in all cases. The 9:11 George IV., c. 32, makes their affirmation in criminal eases. In 1833 the 3d and 4th William IV., C. 49, was passed, whereby Q ua k ers an d Moraviuns ere allowed to make affirmation in all cases whatever. Baron ALDERSON-Mr. Pease had taken his seat in the House of Commons before that Act. . Sergeant CHANNELL-Yes, b u t h e was liable to pe nalties if he had improperly taken his seat. He was advised to get this Act passed, Sir F. POLLOCK-It is a matter of history that it was the unanimous opinion of all the lawyers of the Houso that Mr. Pease was entitled to take hi s seat. Sir H. Peel, Sir W. Follett, Lord Campbell, and myself, were Members, and we none of us had any doubt. Baron ALDERSON-It would be dangerous to take the opinion of a Committee as binding in a court of law.. Baron PARKE-That Act is nor retrospective, so that it would have done Mr. Pease no good. Baron ALDERSON-Probably the time for suing had expired. These statutes with. reference to Qeelters ex hibit a great contrast of the care taken with regard to them to what has been with regard to Jews, it the de fendant's view be right. Then the Catholic Emancipa tion Act, 10 Geo. IV., o. 7, gives a form and repeals this obligation of taking the oath of abjuration so iar only as Roman Catholics are concerned. The last statute, and the one an which the defendant must rely, is the Ist and 2:1 Viet., c. 105, which " enacts that in all cases iu which an oath may lawfully be and shall have been ad ministered to any pesos, either as a juryman or a wit ness, cr a deponent in any proceediug, civil or criminal, in any court of law or equity, or on appointment to any office or eraployment, or on any occasion whatever, such person is bound by the oath adestaistered, provided the same shall have been administered in such form and with such Ceremonies uch persons may (feeler° to be binding." It must he contended for the doleni:ant that this is a repealing statute, because, unless it repeals the words of the oath of abjuration, it would not he aufficieet for defendant's purpose. No doubt, in a court of law, ('r Where no form of oath is prescribed, a person may take en oath in the manner binding on him-that was decided in the case of Omichund v. Barker (Winos, 538). But this, being: a Christian oath prescribed by the Legitia leture, can only be dispensed with by the same authority. First, the oath was to be on the Holy Eitingelists; this was a part of the manner of the oath, and is not to this day repealed. If, then, it was a Christian oath, how was it affected by these cases? The case of Omichund Barker decided that any parson might be sworn es a wit ness in a court ofj usher according to the custom and man ner of his religion; but that cannot affect the C 3.90 of an oath which was prescribed in a particular form. Taking the oath, therefore, to be a Christian oath, the question then arose how far the point was affiet i e fi d . by the operation of the Act of Victoria. The sta rind 2d Viet., c. 104, declared and enacted than have cases in which an oath may lawfully be and man or been administered to any person, either as a j e nrY eivil or a witness, or a deponent in any proceedin t e a , o " that in t ' all tlh© United criminal, in any court of law or equity person is temind or on tiny occasion whatever, such Kingdom, or an appointment to anyoffiince or employ ment,e shall have by the oath administered, provided the it been administered in such form, and with Now, ceremo nies as such person may declare to aharasuch on this Act of referenco the first obtervation which arosenoul, Parliament was, that it containednor ra l ret . to any prior Act what ever to the oath of shjuration, been recited if of Parliament, which should e have Aet in tended to be repealed. seemed to apply ex. i e n ath eou e r f ts ab e j i u f clutively to oaths administered There wore cases in which et. law, on appointment to had been taken in courts of the Act mad not offices, arid therefore the operati on juryman or wit stertehde nesses. In be confined to the cases of word • ht be given to everyof this Act of tact, effect might Parliament, without hav i n g recourse to th e assertion that it amounted to a repeal o f former statutes. It would, the part of no doubt, be contended on faith .the d e f endant, 6 the true of" a Christian" m i ght that the words on be omitted from the o ath. It was said that the statute was directed against Papists, and he udmitted that to be the case, but the language of the Act was large enough to include many others. There could the be no d ou b t that it was the intention of I iegislature, in framing the Act in q.u estion, to impose a reli g i ous test, anal it, had ta n en t h e greatest possible pains to male that oath hincline tpua the conscience of the parson who took it. The wor ds e on the true faith of a Christien," comb , " after the , stringent language of the, former part irk the oath, showed that the Legislaure meant those words 0) b 3 a declaration as a ell as an oath. w het h e r the Jews were in the couteeciplation of the t h e Legislature, or not, at the time when the oath was made compulsory, was a matter with which he need not encumber the argument. It was enough to state that at that period alt persons were excluded from public honoure and employments. unless they were. Christians. Before the repeal of the Test and Corpora tion Acts, no one could hold office without having re ceived the sacrament within a limited period. There was one other argument to which he wished to advert before he sat down. It was said that the plaintiff was now suing upon the statute 6 George 111., and no doubt, taking it in connexion with other Acts, that was the case. Upon this it was argued that the Acts passed in the ninth year of George 111., and in the tenth year of the same sovereign, had created an indemnity in fsivour of the Jews. But to this it might be answered that these Acts were not subsisting Acts, but were merely of a temporary nature, to enable Jews and other persons to register their property, and were passed for that pur pose only. Ile would now call the attention of the court to the Act 1 and 2 William IV., c. 9, which repealed so much of certain Acts as required certain oaths to be taken by Members of the House of Commons before the Lord Steward or his deputies, and having said thus much, he would submit that, upon the grounds which he had already stated, the plaintiff was entitled to the judgment of the court. Sir F. KELLY, on the part of the defendant, said that in much that had fall en f rom his Learned Friend he sincerely and cordially concurred. He quite; agreed with him that this case should be argued, as he had no doubt it would be determined, without any reference to popular considerations on one aide or the other, but upon the true constructions of th e s t a t u t es brought be.. fare the Court. He must, however, remind their Lord ehips that this was an action for penalties, founded upon certain penal Acts of Parliament which must, there fore, be strictly construed, and which, if in force at all, imposed very heavy and very fearful penalties on those who contravened their provisions. That Jews were en titled to serve in Parliament was, he apprehended, a. proposition which could nortabilt ofuronht, and inter Act might be construed in such a sense as to impose upon this class of the community, and perhaps on other classes also, the duty of taking an oath which was re pugnant to their consciences, he trusted that the Court would carefully weigh the words of the Act, and give it, if possible, a construction, which would favour liberty of. conscience. The Court would bear in mind that the refusal to take the oath in question did not ex pose a Jew merely to the loss of 5001. in the shape of a penalty, but to a disqualification to be an executor, to be a guardian of any child, to hold any office, or to give any vote. With these preliminary observations, he passed to the grounds' on which he had to submit that the defendant was entitled to the judgment of the Court, and it might be convenient to state what were the four distinct and specific grounds on which he relied. In the first place he should contend that, on a careful considera tion of the various Acts of Parliament beating upon this question, the Act of 6th Geo. 111., 0. 53, was no longer in force, and that it ceased to be in force on th e d eath of George 111., or at all events on the death of the last Sovereign bearing the name of George. That being so, he should maintain that there was no power in the House of Commons or any officer of the House of Commons, nor in any court of law, or any officer of a court of law, to take upon himself to alter the terms of an oath, the whole form and language of which had been expressly given by the Legislature. If that were so, then the Act could only apply to " our Sovereign Lord King George." That was the only form given under the statute. Upon every occasion on which a change of the name of the So vereign had been considered necessary, the Legislature had interposed by express enactment, reciting the neces sity, and altering the name of ono Sovereign for the other. That was done from the time of William the Third to the time of George 111., and as there was no Act of Par liament which had since confirmed that authority, there was now no power is existence which enabled any one to administer a different oath from that contained in the statute of 6th George 111., or to substitute the name or description of one Sovereign for another. In the next place he should submit, if the statute imposing the oath was still iu force, that it was competent to the defendant, and that it was his duty to take the oath, omitting the words "on the true faith of a Christian ;" and that en the ground that wherever the Legislature imposed on any man the duty of taking an oath, the law not only permitted, but required him to take it in such manner and form as should be binding on his conscience. If there was any exception or qualification to the rule on which he now relied, it was were an oath was imposed by way of a religious test, but that could only be the •case where the language of the Act. clearly justified such a construction. In the third place, he should submit that, assuming his first proposition to be doubtful, the defend ant was bound and authorized to take the oath which he did take in the House of Commons by necessary implica tion under the Act let and 2d Vice, c. 5. Finally, he should contend that, under the provisions of the Act 10th Geo. L, o. 4; a statute which, as his Learned Friend had inaccurately supposed, had not expired, but which was kept alive and in force by a succession of acts con tinuing or enlarging the time until Nov. 24, 1766, and consequently beyond the time when the Act 6th George 111., c. 53, was passed. The provisions of the Act 6th George 111., c. 53, bore a modified meaning. Now. with reference to the first branch of his argument, he should submit that the Acts of Parliament applying to the oath of abjuration, beginning with the Act of William 111., and ending with the statute 6 George 111., provided, and were intended only to provide, for the particular state of things in existence at the time when the Acts in question were passed. The title as well as the terms of the Act of George 111. showed that it was intended for temporary purposes only. In Lord Coke's " Second Institute," p. 479, it was said :—" Neither can an oath, whether imposed by the common law or by authority of Parliament, be altered except by an Act of Parliament." And that was admitted to be the law by all the judges in the case of Omichund v. Barker. By what authority, then, could the House of Commons, or the Speaker of the House of Commons, as alleged in this special verdict, substitute the name of Queen Victoria for that of King George? Sup pose the case of a disputed succession. If the House of Commons could substitute the name of Victoria or Wil liam, for George, where no dispute was likely to arise, they might equally well take upon themselves, when the succession was in dispute, to hewn the name of Albert for Edward, or Edward for Albert, and so wound the consciences of many persons who might entertain a dif krent opinion from the House of Commons as to the title of the reigning monarch. Mr. Baron ALDERSON—The House of Commons would naturally use the name of the sovereign under whose writ they sat. Sir F. KELLY—But that writ might not be issued by the right monarch. Mr. Baron Aaunasort—They would say it was issued under the right one. Sir F. KELLY —That would be a matter of opit ion. Mr. Baron ALDERSON--" Under which King, Benzo nian? speak, or die." Sir F. KELLY contended, that the question wee whe ther the House of Commons or the Speaker had pavver to alter and put in a different form an oath which had _ been framed by the authority of Parliament. In ord er to arrive at a right conclusion on that subject, it Weald be necessary to refer to the several Acts . _ wh ich the had passed, and they would be found to fortify were which be had submitted to the court, that they _ . ,.. a r tn e merely of a temporary nature. The Acts 13th e. William and 111., c. 6, Ist Anne, c. 1, 4th and sth Anne, h. B .6th Anne, c. 7. were clearly of a temporaey_c araettehr. In the 20th section of the isst-mentioned_ . statute e and it was name of the sovereign was left iu blank, pro vided that the blank should be filled up with the nacreof the Queen or King (the Princess Sophia, or her s on George, afterwards George the First) who should he 1 next in succession under the Act of Settleme nt. Then came the Act of George I.; and it was remarkable, that from the time of William 111., down to beenthe Act o d f George 111., the oath of abjuration had by Act of Parliament in order to include the in the statu name and description of the roigniifg sovereign, and I e tc, passed in the sixth year of the reign es e ctvAe Anne was ex tended to meet the case of a future reign, whose person was then uncer e min. Lord Chief Baron Poenoote—vet ri e cannot shut our eyes to the fact that during the reign of George IV.the of abjuration was taken a r ' 1 oathtg eat number of indi viduals in the form Either that was in force, or as a corp e Act of George 111. tli r e words of the oath ap plied to the King oration sole. There might be some ground for the contention that the operation of the Act 6 Geo. 111, Cea se d me to be pur e e hat his death ; b ut i t seems to niledtia httess to arg ue t h at t h e A ct appl i es to the name an d to the persou'of the Sovereign. Sir F. KELLY did not mean to go th a t l eng th himself, but there were certainly Some persons whose opinions were entitled to the highest respect who had contended very earnestly in another place for the proposition that the form of oath might have been binding until the ter mination of the reign of the last of the Georges, though it had certainly ceased to be so since that time. What he himself however, contendedf or was, that the opera tion of that Act ceased with the reign during which it in n uR ' e o p r i e n a d Westerns,rrS heavily . was en acted. He now came to another Act of RAILWAY SHARD '''' without ant- Parliament, which was much of the same character as c 2 0 316 r n . 2k t G i A e • those to which he had already referred, but which STOCK EiCHANG B E R . —IS TI ?

The loss on this wild ope ration in tallow is estirnuted at upwards of 300.0001. The price of palm oil on the Is: of January, 1851, was 281. 103., commencing with a stock of 4,500 tons, the price advancing for arrival to 301., and ruled tolerably steady on the spot 271. to 281. 10e., u nt il the large arrivals of August last reduced isl e " to 261. /Oa. to 26/. 155., f ur ther heavy arriv a l s i n Oc tober following reucing prices ultimately to 251. 15t. to 261.

The import of palm oil into England the last year has reached 31,000 t ons, l eav i ng now about 12,000 tons in the hands of importers, speculators , and con sumers.

This was an action up(ne a :bill of exchange for 2001. drawn by a Mr. Aspinall upon the defendant, and ac cepted by him, and indorsed to the plaintiff. • Upon the pleadings it was not denied that the bill was drawn, ac cepted, and indorsed, as stated in the declaration, but the defence set up was that the bill was simply given to ensure the delivery of the horse Elcho, which, had been purchased by the plaintiff of the defendant, and which had, in fact, been since delivered, and therefore that the plaintiff was not entitled to recover, An actioa was tried a week ago, in which the now defendant was plain tiff, which action was to recover 200/., the balance of the purchase-money of the horse, and on that occasion the then plaintiff was committed for perjury. The plaintiff in this case was, up to last Wednesday, the manager of the Birkenhead branch of the North and South Wales Bank, and the defendant was described as an African merchant, but the action arose out of cettin turf transactions. In consequence of the form of the pleadings, the defendant's case was ffrst laid before the jury. _ The defendant and many other witnesses were called, and according to their statement the defendant and As pinall called upon the plaintiff at the bank on Saturday, the 21st of June last, and, in consequent& of what' took place, the defendant, the plaintiff, and Aspinall went on the Saturday to Cheltenham, and •on the Sunday they saw the horse Elcho at Mr. Scott's. The defendant agreed to sell Elcho to the plaintiff for 400/.., and on the 30th of June the plaintiff paid 1401. on account, which, with 60/., the amount of another transaction, made 200, leaving 2001. still due. The bill in question was given as security for tho delivery of the horse, which was to be delivered in time to run for the Liverpool Cup on the 20th of July. A number of witnesses were called, who proved con clusively that the defendant was not in Liverpool on the 26th of June, the date of the bill, nor within several days of that time. The plaintiff himself, Mr. Aspinall, and several other witnesses were called to make cut the plaintiff's ease. The plaintiff "deposed that the defendant told , him when he saw the horse on the Sunday at Scott's, that he (the horse) could not lose the Liverpool Cup. On the aoth of Juno the defendant called upon plaintiff at the bank, and plaintiff paid him 3401.- in money en account of the horse, making, with the 60/, the VI whole of the p urc h ase money. It a; his own money, and had never been any portion of the bank money. On the Bth of July the defendant sent a telegraphic message from London to plaintify directing him to meet the h orse at Ed ge -hill. The .horse, how ever, was not sent in accordance with this message, but plaintiff afterwards received the horse at Cheltenh am from Scotts The defendant was present when the horse was delivered up, and he made no claim on plaintiff', bet plaintiff paid 44/., the amount due to Scott. Plaintiff. on the 26th of July, a month after the date of the bill in question, advanced to Aspinall 2001. upon it out of his own money. Mr. John T. Aspinall, who is a coot agent at Birken head, stated that in the early part of June defendant told him he could put him on to the winner of the Liver pool Cup, and asked him if he could find a purchaser for Elcho. He introduced him to Wynn, and they all went to Cheltenham to see him. The defendant applied to witness to lend him some money before he went, and when he came back he said he must have acme money. Witness drew the bill in question in Wynn's parkas at the bank, and it was accepted by the defendant, and wit ness gave him 2001. upon it out of money he had in his own pocket. Witness kept the bill until the 26th July, and then he got the plaintiff to lend him 200 L upon it. On the 30th of June witness saw the plaintiff pay the defendant 3401 On the 6th of July defendant, Scott, and witness dined together, and it was then said that the mare Truth, which belonged to the defendant, had beaten Elaine and Scott said it was of no use to send Elcho to Liverpool. Thomas Wilks, a clerk to the last witness, was called, and said that he had seat the bill in question in Mr. Aspinali's possession in the month of July; and after the Liverpool race a horse trainer, named Bfilington, bad both Truth and Elcho to train for the defendant. On the 25th June Truth was taken away, end the defendant left a letter for Billington, in which he said, " If age does all we ask her, we shall back her for the Liverpool Cup. You shall be in whatever I get. Mind, do not let any one know that the mare is gone any where. If any one asks, you say she is amiss and having physic." The mare was not amiss at this time. Elcho was tried wi:h her in March, and the defendant was present. Truth beat Elcho very easily. Elcho broke down at York in August, 1850 , and was consequently fired in Sept: mber following. Part of the charge made again* the defend ant was that he had represented that Elcho was sure to win the Liverpool Cup when he had entered Truth, which he knew to be a better horse, for the same race. His LORDSHIP, in summing up, directed the jury that the case was one entirely for them, and he then read through his notes of the evidence, pointing out the con tradictions between the evidence, and he chang ed them, without fe ar or favour, to give their verdict on that sid e on w hich , a ccording to their opinion, the truth lay.
