Barker, was applicable to the present case, and that it was one thing to swear al legiance to one particular sovereign, and another to swear it to a succession of potentates. Mr. Baron ALDERSON—In the case to which you have just referred, Lord Chief Justice Willes observes that what Lord Coke says in the 2d Instit,, 479, and 3d In stit., 165, that an oath cannot be 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 like, and not at all to oaths taken by witnesses. Sir F. KELLY apprehended that nothing could be found in that case, or anywhere else, to show that where tho 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 by adverting to the circumstances of the times during which the Act of George 111, was passed. Although it was Houset tx. e u r e e th wo a af t s t u h a e r t o w voers consequently,f o r u o s m of t nh theeo claimsre aso n Pretender otof existed tshuaptp reign of George 111., there was very little danger to the LegislatureTh e argumenti n t ed w ed es th t a h t en th , e di words ou r xi e d o f till the vi r o oathsefamily,edthneao Wednesday neat. d a a t anhbyde ju(rsTaitthitieisinig:sah3aotaunNldaitimorpin::larger construction than the ne- PLATT p a in n a d u cessity of' the case required. d er pa tl ndv ybbNyy N ha i V. al ~I,rna.

Mr. Sergeant CHANNELL .(in continuation from our paper of yesterday) said—He should, in bringing the statutes before the Court, divide them into i,a totwriltiiae oiclae s 1. Th ose w hi c h i mpose on Members e ) s a s tt h — e duty of taking the oaths of abjuration and suprema e y, and in c id enta ll y t h ose sta t u tes gener a ll y which impose this duty on any members of the public. These he should call the obligatory statutes. 2. The statutes of an exempting character. These statutes were enacting not declaratory. Under this clews would come those specially affecting Jews, those affecting Quakers and Moravian:,, some of which alsote 1 applied to Vic.,teJ e.s„ltolste, Emancipation Act, and, lastly, the 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 oatb, administered to them in the form binding on their conscience, without respect tinyto• religion or sect whatever. Ho :should be curious to hear h ow it could be argue d th at 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 ha ve b een taken by them. H e did not propose to confine himself to the law as to the oath of abjuration. The present case undoubtedly turned upon that oath only, but light might be thrown on the question by considering the other oaths also.. The first statute on the subject was the Ist 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 suers repugnant to the same." The 19th sec. imposes on archbishops, bishops, and cer lain persons th erein enumerated, t h e necess i ty of taking he oath of s u p remacy, and it is di rec t e d t h at they shall 3 and receive a cor p ora l oath upon the Evange lists." This being on the Evangelists, ho should con tend that it must have been taken on the New Testa ment. The c onc l u di ng words of t h e f orm g i ven were— "So help me G o d, and b y the contents o f t hi s book. " The next statute was the sth of Eliz. 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 of James 1., c. 4. This statute had been said, to contain the germ of the oath of abjuration; but the form of th e oath there given h as b een described in subsequent statutes as the oath of allegiance and obedienc e . By sec. 13 it i s enacted that for the better trial how his Majesty' s subject stand affected in point of their loyalty and obel for any bi s hop i n his diocese, it s h ou ld be la w f u l or t w o ju s tices of the peace, to require persons of the age of eighteen, under certain circumstance there mentioned, to ta k e the oaths thereafter " followings Evan gelista." Sec. 15 gives the form upon the Holy con cludes with the followingAn of the oath, which the present oath—at vvloirds, similar te those used in and sincerely ackneloewlsepdegke: these things Ido .Plainly express words by and swear according. to these and common sense and undne, and according_ to the plain rstanding of the same weeds by me spoken, and accordi sense and understanding of to the equivocation or mental ev t plain and common e same words, without any whatsoever. And IdO ft sion, or secret reservation know i e s gmeet heartily, wakewillingly, this recognition and ac true faith of a Christian. Soleg!Y, and truly, upon the help me. God." Thie oath c ould only be taken on th Testament. e Evangelists, that is the New Baron MARTIN—What that time, if requir e d to take to become of a Jew ,at Sergeant CHANNEL L Th e an oath? the Act. cY are not contemplated by Sir F.

If no doubt on the subject. But William and Mary, c. 1, s. 1. It wentilcata° the Ist to draw attention particularly to the be be necessary not appear to have been noticed i e , e 4 ct, as it did th subject, that which had taken place elsewhere on this discussions st and 2d this statute remained in force down to Wm.

That Act is entitled a An oaths had Act to abrogate the oaths of supretnseYallegiance and to appoint other oaths;" and, after reciting thels Elisabeth, c. 1, and 3d James 1., C. 4 , enacts that no person shall be obliged to take the said oaths By see. 3, new forms are authorised to be taken ous oaths.

The 13th William 111., o. 6, after defining the persons who aro to take the oath of abjuration, thereby given, amongst whom were not included Members of Parliament, sets out the form of oat h , concluding with the words, " And I do make this recogn i tion, achnovvledgment, abjuration, renunciation, and pro m i se , heartily, willingly' and truly , upon the true faith of a Christian, so help me God." ley 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 middl e of the House, whilst a full House of Commons is there duly sitting with their Speaker in his chair." See. 11 imposes a penalty of 500/. on any one voting not having taken the oath. Then came the Ist Anne, s. 1, c. 22, which gives a similar form of oath with a like conclu sion, eubatituting 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 lst Geo. 1., scat. 2, c. 13, carried out the alterations contemplated by the last statute of Anne, the Electress having died shanty before Anne-by this Act a form is given, filling up the blanks left in the form of the Act of Anne with the name of George. Sect. 17 inflicts the penalty of 5001. on any Member who shall presume to vote, not having taken the said oath. This is the section under which the present action was brought. There was in that form by this Act prescribed no real alteration of the oath, it was to he taken in such manner and toge ther with the other oaths and declaration against tran substantiation in the former oaths. Then came the 6th Geo. e. 53, which was passed in 1766, the Pre tender having died in 1765. By that Act a form of oath is set out and required to be taken :by all persons who by the previous Act of Ist Geo. 1., st. 2, c. 13, and sth Geo. 1., e. 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, bat the penalties were recover able under the Ist Goo. 1., 0. 13. These statutes were all which came under the first head of obligatory sta tutes. He now came to the second division cf ex emptory 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. I. o. 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 for the defendant. After reciting the last mentioned Act of 9th Geo. I.; and that the greater part of the persons thereby affected had taken the oath, but chat by reason of the shortness of the time allowed all had not been able, and that it was necessary to extend the time, then, after making certain exemptions of wonesn and others, it proceeds to make ce rt a i n prov i s i ons es to Quakers, and then proceeds:-" And whereas the iollowing words are contained in the latter part of the oath of abjuration, viz., upon the true faith of a Chris tian; be it further enacted, that, whenever any of her Nlajesty's subjects professing the Jewish religion shall 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 true faith of a,Christian,' shall ee omitted out of the said oath in administering the same to such person, and the taking the said oath by such person professing the Jewish religion without ,Ise words aforesaid, in like manner as Jews are admitted to be sworn to give evidence in courts of justice, shall. be deemed to be a sufficient 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, inr the purpose of the 9th Geo. 1., c. 24, but }'or this purpose only. It gives no indemnity for other purposes, and thus does not all come up to the exemp tion which is contended for on behalf of the defendant. rho next statute was the 13th Geo. 11., o. 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, hp might omit the words "on the true faith of a Christian." These were all the Acts relating to Jews 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 IL, c. 1, imposed a penalty of 51. on Quakers who should refuse to take an oath. The Toleration Act, lst Wil liam and Mary, stet. 1, c. 18, requires Quakers to snake a s ol e mn 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 1., stet. 2, c. 6, gives further indemnities to Quakers, and makes perpetual the 7th and Bth William 111., a. 34, and appoints a for m of affirmation. Bth George L c. 6, gives a different form of affirmation, omitting the words "in presence o A lmighty God," whi c h h a d b een ob jected to as being a form of adjuration. The 22d George 11., a. 46, which makes provision for a great tee n y things, from the price of bread 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 9th George IV., c. 32, makes their affirmation in criminal cases. In 1833 the 3d and 4th William ,C. 49, was passed, whereby Q ua k ers and. Moravian were 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, but he was liable to pe nalties if he had improperly taken his seat. He was advised to get this Act passed, Sir F. PoLLocie-It is a matter of history that it was the unanimous opinion of all the lawyers of the House that Mr. Pease was entitled to take his seat. Sir B. 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 not retrospective, so that it would have dune Mr. Pease DO good. Baron ALDERSON-Probably the time for suing had expired. These statutes with reference to Quakers ex hibit a great contrast of the care taken with regard to them to what has been with regard to Jews, if the de fendant's view be right. Then the Catholic Emancipa tion Act, 10 Geo. IV., c. 7, gives a form and repeals the obligation of taking the oath of abjuration so far only as Roman Catholics are concerned. The last statute, and the one on which the defendant must rely, is the Ist and 2.1 Viet., c. 105, which " enacts that in all cases in which an oath may lawfully be and shall have been ad ministored to any person, either as a juryman or a wit ness, or a deponent in any proceeding, civil or criminal, in any court of law or equity, or on appointment to any office or employment, Or on any occasion whatever, such person is bound by the oath administered, provided the same shall have been administered in suck form and with such ceremonies as such persons may declare to be binding." It ntuat be contended for the defendant that this is a repealing statute, because, unless it repeals the words of the oath of abjuration, it would not be sufficient for defendant's purpose. No doubt, in a court of law, or where no form of oath is prescribed, a person may take an oath in the manner binding on him-that was decided in the case of Omichund v. Barker (Willes, 538). But this, being a Christian oath prescribed by the Legisla lature, can only be dispensed with by the same authority. First, the oath was to be on the Holy Evangelists; this was a part of the manner of tho 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 v. Barker decided that any person might be sworn as a wit ness in a court ofjustice according to the custom and man ner of his religion; but that cannot affect the case 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 affected by the operation of the Act of Victoria. The stet. Ist and 2d Via., o. 104, declared and enacted " that in all cases in which an oath may lawfully be and shall have been administered to any person, either as ski! juryman 2 o or r a witness, or a depone n t i n an y p rocee ding, civil criminal, in any court of l aw or equ ity in the United Kingdom, or an app o i n t men t to an y o ffice or .s employ ment, or on any occasio n wh a t ever , s u ch person is bound , by the oath administer e d, p rov id e d the same shall have been administered in such f orm and w ith such ceremo nies as such person may de c l a re to be binding. upon Now, ' the first observation w hi c h arose to the oath of abjuration, noroanyf this Act of r recited if re Parliament was, that it c ontained no t e referencewhat everAotof Parliament, which should have been in tended to be repeal e d.

Whether t h e Jews were in the contemplation of the the 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 all persons were excluded from public honours and employments, unless they we re Christians. Before the repeal of the Teat and Corpora tion Acts, no ono could hold office without having re ceived the sacrament within a limited period. There was ono 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 ease. 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 favour 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 pasted for that pur pose only. He 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. bit F. KELLY, on the part of the defendant, said that in much that had fallen from his Le arnei Friend he sincerely and cordi a ll y concurred. H e quice agreed with him that this case Should be argued, as he had doubt it would be det erm i ne d , without any AL_ no popular considerations on ono side or the other, but upon the true cons t ruct i o n s o f the statutes brought- be fore the Court. He must, however, remind their Lord ships that this was an action for penalties, founded upon certain penal Acts of Parliament vrenichtftrest, 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 not admit of a doubt, and if the 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. Ths 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 5004 in the shape of a penalty, but to a disqualification to be an executor, to be a guardian of any enild, to bold any office, or to give any vote. With these preliminary observations, ho 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 h 4 relied. In the first place he should contend that, on a careful considera tion of the various Acts of Parliament bearing upon this question, the Act of 6th Geo. 111., c. 53, was no longer in force, and that it ceased to be in force on the death 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 hsd been considered necessary, the Legislature had interposed by express enactment, reciting the neces sity, and altering the name of one 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 in 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 deacription of one Sovereign for another. In the next place he should submit, if the statute imposing the oath was still in 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 on the ground that wherever the L-gisheture imposed on any man the duty of taking an ()ash, the law not only permitted, but required him to ttke 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 authorised to take the oath which he did take in the House of Commons by necessary implica tion under the Act Ist and 2d Vice, c. 5. Finally, he should contend that, under the provisions of the Act 10th 1 Geo. I, c. 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., e. 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 tho 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 th e common l aw or b y authority of Parliament, e 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 f or 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 insert the name of Albert for Edward, or Edward for Albert, and so wound the consciences of many persons who might entertain a dif ferent 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 ALDERSON—They would say it was issued under the right one. Sir F. KELLY —That would be a matter of opinion. Mr. Baron ALDERSON--" Under which King, Benzo nian? speak, or die." Sir F. KELLY contended, that the question was whe ther the House of Commons or the Speaker had power to alter and put in a different form an oath which had been framed by the authority of Parliament. In order to arrive at a r i g h t conc l us i on on that subject, it would be necessary to re f er t o t h e several Acts wh i c h had passed, and th e y wou ld b e f ound to fortify t h e view which he had submitt e d t o th e court, that tb_e..y.,,w.,aerme William 111., of a temporary nat ure .

Then came the Act of George I.; and it was remarkable that from the time of William 111., down to the Act of George 111., the Oath of abjuration had been altered by Act of Parliament in order to include the n ame and description of the reigning sovereign, and in the statute passed in the, sixth year of the reign OfvAn eig ne was ex. person ed to meet theuncertain.f case o a future sovereign whose In whose was then Lord Chief Baron Peuxex—We cannot shut fact . that during the reign of George IV. our the eyes to the great number of incl . oath of abjuration was taken by a victuals in the form prescribed by the Act of George HI. Either that was in force, or the words of the oath ap plied to the King as a corporation sole. There might some ground for the contention that the operationof be the Act 6 Geo. 111. ceased at his death; but it seems to we tthe o b nam pure childishness to ar gue t h at the Act applies n to e and not to the person of the So vere i gn . Sir F. KELLY did not mean -e to go that length himself, bat 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 MARKETS. was enacted.

Th e l oss on th i s w i l d inope tallow is estimuted at upwards of 300,0001. The - price of palm oil on the Ist of January, 1851, was 281. 10s., commencing with a stock of 4,500 tons, the price advancing for arrival to 30L, and ruled tolerably steady on the spot 27/. to 281. 10s., until the large arrivals of August last reduced prices to ' 26/. 10s. to 261. 158., further heavy arrivals in Oc tober following reducing prices ultimately to 251. 15s. to 261. So much oil having been sold for ar rival relieved importers, and the speculators having supported the market when evincing symptoms of decline, and thus prevented oil reaching its real value, consequently an artificial price had been made for the present by bolstering the market. Had it been left to its own merits, prices must have been considerably under present quotations, which are quite nominal, and must of necessity recede from its own weight with the large quantity shortly looked for. The low rate of discount has also facilitated the holding of s large stock, some of which has been here on hand 12 to 18 months, costing 21/. 10 s. to 29/. los. per ton. The import of palm oil into England the last year has reached 31,000 tons, leaving now about 12,000 tons in the hands of importers, speculators ' and con sumers. This st oc k of palm oil, coup l e d with the large tonnage out, as per statement, is deserving of special notice.— Liverpool Chronicle. - The defendant and many other witnesses were called, and according to their statement the defendant and As pima' called upon the plaintiff at the bank on Saturday, the 21st of June last, and, in consequence of what took place, the defendant, the pl a i nt i f f , 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 4001., and on the 30th of June the plaintiff paid 140/. on account, which, with 60/., the amount of another transaction, made 200/., leaving 2001. still due. The bill ia question was given as security for the delivery of the horse, which was to be delivered in time to run fur 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.
