" I care not how I am physicked, so it be not by the adventure of a quack, but advice of a physician, who I am sure will prescribe no more for me than may consist with my safety, and need duth require."— Old Divine. The Possessor of the Prescription from which these Pills are prepared, solely for him, by Mr. John 'l'. Eddy, a scientific Chemist, obtained it from the late Dr. Armstrong, (Lecturer at St. Thomas'.; Hospital, London, and Author of the celebrated Works on Typhus and Scarlet Fever, &c. dc.) for his Wife, who, in 1821 ' became the Doctor's patient, when evidently labouring under confirmed Liver complaint, and to all appearance in a deep decline. She had not long taken the Pills, at the prescribed inter vals, before she was perfectly restored to health ; and has, with the occa sional use of them, continued free from pain, and in perfect health and cheerful spirits ever since. The Possessor of this admirable Prescription (a Gentleman of private fortune), having distributed the Pill: with the most extraordinary success amongst the Poor in many Counties in England, in 1833 determined to offer them, at a price, to the public; his personal observation and expe rience having convinced him that they would prove a real blessing, if taken according to the Physician's Advice and Directions in the wrapper, to all—both old and young, children as well as adults: women, pregnant, and after the month of confinement—who suffered from an inactive Liver, and thence all the attendant miseries of Indigestion; Bilious Affec tions (so called) ; Flatulence, Jaundice, Dropsy ; P a i n i n th e s id es an d under the Shouler Blades; Difficulty of Breathing; distressing Sensa tion of Choking : with the coieplexion, and white 01 the eyes, yellow. The very first two pills generally afford such relief—such ease from every distressing pain —that the patient is at once surprised and delighted. The Medicine is gentle, though certain in its benign effects. The quantity prescribed to be taken is small, and not oftener than alternate nights. The attention of the public is called to the following statement of facts : A cook, in a gentleman's family, complained to her mistress of such pain in the right side, and such loss of appetite, that she could not do her work, and thought that she must again give up her situation, as she had been obliged to do for the same cause in two previ us places. Her mis tress recommended her to try Dr. John Armstrong's Liver Pills, as she said all others had failed. Thegirl bought a box, and the first two pills re lieved her from all pain, and she said she felt better than ever she had done in her life. The first two operated brislcy, the next two gently, and afterwards only as a pleasant aperient ; but the pain never returned. A sailor's wife had only been a fortnight confined, and was suffering agonies in her back and sides, evidently owing to an inactive I iver, her skin being as yellow as saffron. A friend gave her some money t o buy a box of Armstrong's Liver Pills: When that friend in need. called to see the poor woman again, she was surprisingly better—scarce any pain in her side—no choking sensation—skin much clearer, and appetite and ge neral health rapidly imseoving. A magistrate, who was much troubled with boils, at the instance of a relative bought a box of Armstrong's Liver Pills. Before he had taken six pills at tile prescribed intervals, he was astonished at his perfect cure, and declared it was the best medicine he ever took in his life. Jaundice and Dropsical cases immediately relitved. Hundreds of similarly striking cases might be noticed, but for the space they occupy in an advertisement; and each billions person who tries these pills (most expensive in their preparation to the proprietor) will furnish a must satisfactory anti convincing case of cure or relief to himself. To Mr. John T. Eddy, Bishops Stortford, Herts. Medical Hall, Lewes, Sussex, Oct. 4th, 1836. Sin,—lt gives me much pleasure to be able to inform yon that my sale for Dr. John Armstrong's Liver Pills has, within these two months, in creased to a very considerable extent. lam almo s t d a il y receiving fresh testimonials of their efficacy, as an " Antibilious," from persons of respec tability, residing in Lewes and its vicinity.

Eddy, Bishops Stortford, Hens, who is ae pm tiled Wholesale Agent to the Proprietor. To prevent imposition, the Hon. the Conunissioners of Stamps have di rected John T. Eddy, Chemist, Bishops Stortford, to be engraved in White Letters on the Government Stamp, and each Box is also sealed with the Armorial Bearings of the Proprietor. None else is genuine. The public are particularly cautioned against the dishonest tricks of the inferior class of Druggists, who, it has been discovered by the Proprietor, will try to impose their own loose and unboxed compounds upon the ig norant, for Armstrong's Liver Pills; thus disappointing and defrauding the l'ublic and the Revenue at the same time.

Yesterday a Court was held for the despatch of public business. THE REJECTION OF THE ARIAN CANDIDATE FOR THE MATHEMATICAL MASTERSHIP OF THE CITY OF LONDON SCHOOL. Mr. HALE brought up the report of the committee of the City of London School, detailing the proceedings with reference to that great institution. Mr. JOHNSON (of Bishopsgate) requested to be informed by the Chairman whether it was true, as had been re ported, that the committee had refused, on religious grounds, to elect a candidate for the situation of classical and mathe matical master of that school ?—(Loud cries of " Hear, hear," and murmurs.) Undersheriff WIRE hoped, for the sake of the institution, that it would not go abroad that there existed a division in the corporation with regard to the question of religious qualification. Several members here rose to object to any discussion or question on the subject, and others as numerous unequi vocally expressed their conviction that the Chairman ought to answer. The LORD MAYOR at last rose and said, he believed the question was out of order. Mr. STACEY, although the Lord Mayor had decided that the question was out of order, hoped that, as a member of the committee, he was at liberty to say that it was impossible for him to shut his eyes to the fact that religious prejudices had operated in that committee to the exclusion of a candidate whose qualifications were of the very highest description.--(Loud cries of " Hear," from sevcral members, and "No" from others The committee had, as was stated by Alderman Brown, per formed a certain act, but they had no right to make the religious opinions of a candidate a criterion of eligibility, much less had any member of their body a right to ca lumniate a candidate as an Atheist for the purpose of pre judicing that candidate in the opinion of others.—( Loud murmurs, and cries of " Name, name.") He had no hesitation in naming Alderman Humphery as the indivi dual who stated that Mr. Davison, the rejected candidate, had been described to him as an Atheist by a prominent member of the committee. Here some conversation took place upon the subject of celebrating the opening of the school with a dinner, and the question of the rejected Arian again arose, and with greater warmth on both sides. Mr. R. TAYLOR said he perceived the matter was to end in asking 3001. to pay the expense of.a dinner, and he also perceived that a gentleman who hated the very name of intolerance was to be invited to give a lecture at the com mencement, in an institution the first movement in which was distinguished by an exhibition of the grossest intole rance.—(Loud cries of " Heor," and No, no," and great confusion.) The LORI) MAYOR—You may as well leave out the woi d " intolerance."—(A laugh.) Mr. R. TAYLOR sa'd the word was most disagreeable to those who practised intoleranc e . H e accuse d the majority of the committee of that offence, and he accused one of them of having uttered a rile and malignant falsehood, by asserting that Mr. Davison was an Atheist, for the purpose of prejudicing the election of that gentleman.—(Great con fusion and loud cries of " Hear, hear," and " No, no.") They laughed with disgust at the intolerant feeling exhi b ted towardi Dr. Hampden and here the committee sur passed Oxford in the foulness and excess of illiberality with which it assailed Mr. Davison.—(Great tumult.) Alderman BROWN said—lf any member of the commit tee said that Mr. Davison was an Atheist for the purpose of prejudicing the election, no word was strong enough as a term of reproach to the person who uttered the calumny. —(Cheers.) But if it could be proved that the candidate lost the situation in consequence of such an imputation, there was another place for redress.—(Hear, hear.) It could not be afforded in that court. He had seen a paper written by the unsuccessful candidate—he did not wish to impugn the faith of any man—but h av i ng seen t h at docu ment he could not help saying that he believed the commit tee had acted an honest part, and deserved the thanks of the community, and of every Christian parent.—(Hear, hear, and loud murmurs.) The Court adjourned after some other business. There was some little anxiety evinced by the parties engaged in the management of the treins on the Greenwich Railway during the dense fog which was prevalent on Tues day, as to whether the carriages would be able to proceed with their accustomed speed. Their fears were, however, not of long duration, for on the experiment being tried, they were found to run in the stipulated time, and with as much safety as in the clearest day. APPEAL—THE PARISH OF ST. GEORGE, HANOVER-SQUARE, V. THE COUNTY RATE OF MIDDLESEX. For the Appellants, Mr. BODKIN and Mr. DOANE ; for the Respondents, Mr. ADOLPHUS and Mr. PRENDERGAST. Mr. BODKIN—May it please you, Sir, I have the honour to appeaf on behalf of the parish of St. George, Hanover square, and although it may be said that in coming here (as we are obliged to come) before gentlemen who are to be judges in their own cause, yet I am sure we shall not thereby be damnified, but that this Court will readily grant us the opportunity to have the decision of the Bench reviewed, if, in the end of this case, we should be obliged to ask for that opportunity. In the county of Middlesex, the powers given as to making the County rates are different from that of all other counties, and although the general Acts upon this subject are applicable to this county, there are, besides those Acts, some special provisions which apply only to this county. In the order for making the rate of the 27th October, and against which rate we appeal, it is recited that Sir Robert Baker had duly accounted for all monies he had received, whether of the last, preceding, or any former rate or rates, and that Mr. Allen, the present treasurer, had in like man ner duly accounted for all monies he had received, whether arising from the last preceding, or any former rate or rates not accounted for : it then recites that these respective accounts were duly presented to the Magistrates on the first day of the October Session ; they were referred to two Committees of Justices to audit the same, and that, subse quently, on the County day, the 27th October, it was made to appear to this Court that three-fourths of the monies ac tually received of the last preceding rate had been actually and duly expended, and that it was necessary to make a new rate, which rate of one halfpenny in the pound having been then made, the demand upon the appellant parish of St. George, Hanover-square, was made for its quota of 1,117/. Gs. We thereupon gave a notice that we intended to appeal against the said rate ; on the receipt of which notice we were, by the other side, requested to state the grounds of our appeal. I believe it is not necessary for us, according to the statute, to do so ; but after the very courteous request, begging to be furnished with our ob jection, we, in the same spirit of courtesy, replied that we were not called upon to do so by the Act of Par liament, but there was no objection on the part of the appellants to state the grounds, reserving to themselves the right not to be concluded by that notice, but to act upon any other grounds which they might, upon the hear ing of this appeal, consider themselves entitled to take. The two first grounds of this appeal then are—that the accounts were not duly and properly audited and allowed, and that three-fourths of the amount of the next preced ing rate had not, at the time of making the rate of the 27th October, been duly and properly expended. We have other grounds of appeal, but on which it may, perhaps, not be necessary to enter. In this stage of the inquiry, I will direct the attention of the Court to the 16th sec tion of the 3d Geo. IV., cap. 137, the Local Act for this county—to the appeal clause, which enacts, that if the Churchwardens and Overseers, or other inhabitants, have reason to think that they are aggrieved by any rate made under this Act, or any of the Acts therein recited, on the ground of any account of the said Treasurer, or any part or parts of any such account not having been audited, or having been unduly or improperly audited or allowed, or on the ground of three-fourths of any former rate or rates not having been duly expended previously to the making of any new rate or rates, or any other just or reasonable objection to such rate or rates, then in such case these parties may appeal to the next General Sessions, or the next General Quarter Sessions. The CHAIRMAN—Then you mean to say that three fourths of the last preceding rate had not been duly ex pended, and that the accounts of the Treasurer had not been duly and properly audited and allowed ? Mr. BODKlN—Precisely so ; and in truth if we look critically at these two causes of our appeal, it will be found that they merge into one ; and, therefore, for the purpose of shortening the position, let us in my further ob servations consider these two grounds of objection to the rate to mean the same thing ; because if any sum had been unduly expended, exceeding 1.51. Os. Gd., then, as a matter of course, three-fourths of the monies received of the last preceding rate had not been properly and duly expended. As I do not know what my Learned Friends on the oppo site side will do, I do not mean to be concluded by adopt ing the proposition I have just made. The first question, therefore, is substantially this—that three-fourths of the last rate actually received had not been actually and duly expended when the present rate was made on the 27th of October. I shall now call your attention to the Local Act, the 6th, 7th, 9th, and 10th sections, 3d Geo. 4. c. 107. The Learned Counsel then read these clauses which require the Treasurer to deliver in his accounts at every Quarter Sossion ; that the Justices are to make a rate at every Quarter Session, after they have audited the ac counts ; and that when three-fourths of the monies received of the last preceding rate have not been expended, then the order for making a new rate shall contain a proviso, that no monies shall be received of the new rate until three-fourths of the money received of the former rate shall have been actually expended. I stop here. Accord ing to my interpretation of these sections of this Act, I say it was intended by the Legislature that the new rate should be founded upon the basis of the audit of the ac counts, directed to be presented on the first day of the Sessions. I think it is impossible to look at this Act with out seeing that the object of the Legislature was to pre vent the accumulation of large balances in the hands of the Treasurer, a practice which had in former instances prevailed, and to the great injury of the rate-payers of this county. The Statute then directs that the Treasurer shall account to the Justices, on the first day of the Session ; that these accounts must be audited and allowed ; after which audit and allowance of these accounts, and not before, the justices arc to proceed to make a new rate. I think then it is clearly shown that the proceedings of the justices as to a new rate must be founded on the basis of the audit of the accounts the treasurer presented on the first day of the session. Look again at the seventh section, and it is therein directed that within fourteen days after the allowance of these very accounts presented by the trea surer on the first .day of the session, the treasurer shall transmit a full copy of the same account, with the names of the justices who shall have audited and reported on the same subjoined thereto, together with a true copy of the order for allowing the said accounts attested by the clerk of the peace, to the churchwardens and overseers of the poor of every parish and extra-parochial place, for for the information of the inhabitants, and the trea surer is further, required to publish within ten days after the allowance of his accounts an abstract of his accounts in three of the daily London Newspapers. What was the object of the Legislature ? That the inhabitants to be affected by the new rate, and the parishes interested in the matter, might have an op portunity to examine the financial statements of the Trea surer ; and unless the rate is so made you clearly evade and counteract the wholesome provisions of this Statute. You say, true ; we will receive the Treasurer's account on the first day of the Session ; but between the audit of that account and the day for making the new rate, he shall pay away or receive just as much money as he likes. CHAIRMAN—I wish to know whether the point you put is this ; that three-fourths of the money received of the last preceding rate must appear to have been paid away in the accounts presented by the Treasurer on the first day of the Sessions ? Mr. BODKIN-4 say the rate must be founded on the basis of the published audited accounts. If you are to make a rate on a particular day of which we are to know nothing, then all the provisions of this Statute arc evaded, and we are left as much in the dark as if you sent no account at all to the parishes ; and, therefore, I say the rate must be made on the basis of the account audited, allowed, and sent to the parishes. In this appeal I shall conceal nothing. I put the case fairly before you as lam instructed to do ; therefore, if three-fourths of the monies received of the last preceding rate have not been duly expended—l do not mean to contend that you had not the power to make a rate—but in that event, by the 10th section, the order for making the rate must contain the restrictive clause, that no money of that new rate shall be collected until three-fourths of the former rate actually received have been expended ; and therefore in the present rate, against which we are here as the appellants, I say the rate is bad, because the order for making that rate does not contain the restrictive clause of the 10th section. CHAIRMAN —First, then you say we have no power to make the rate ; but if we have the power, then that we have not done a something which we ought to have done. Mr. BODKlN—According to my view of the case the Justices ought to have taken the audited accounts of the Treasurer presented the first day of the Session ; by these accounts three-fourths of the last rate actually received had not been expended, for there was 12,0171. cash in hand. You made a rate ; that rate did not contain the restrictive clause, and the Session should have gone over before that restrictive clause could have been taken off. What are the precise words of the Statute on this point—" provided never theless, that in case it shall happen that three fourths of the money so actually received on account of a preceding ra.e as aforesaid shall have been expended and exhausted in the interval between any two General Quarter Sessions of the Peace, then it shall be lawful for the Justices of the Peace at any adjournment of such Sessions, or at any General Sessions of the Peace or adjournment thereof, on production of the order for making the rate, together with such proviso or restriction, and on the oath of the Treasurer, that three fourths of the moneys actually received as aforesaid have been then duly paid and expended to make an order autho rizing the payment and receipt of the rate." I therefore contend that during the Session you could take no notice of his account, and that you could make no new rate founded on that account which did not contain the proviso in the 10th section. CHAIRMAN—Then you mean to contend that if three fourths of the last rate received had not been expended on the first day of the Session, it is not until the interval be tween the two Quarter Sessions, that we can put the ma chinery in motion for a new rate, the restraining clause must be kept on until the interval after the Session ? Mr. BODKIN—Yes, because the Statute declares it was to prevent the accumulation of large balances in the hands of the Treasurer : and, therefore, it is now incumbent on us to shew that three-fourths of the last rate received have not been duly applied and expended. What would be the effect of getting over the audit of the accounts presented on the first day of the Session as the basis of the new rate, and what is to prevent him from keeping uncontrolled ba lances in his hand ? He may receive the current rate, and subsequently receive arrears of previous rates, and then say for the purpose of making a new rate, I have expended more than three-fourths of the preceding rate received while the arrears may have produced 20,0001. I contend this is my first objection ; perhaps, as I have occasion now to go into figures, will it be necessary to put in all the accounts, or shall I assume as facts, all the printed statements of ac counts ? CHAIRMAN—Where we are in the distressing situation of judges and parties accused, every facility must be given. Mr. ADOLPHUS—Precisely so. 'We come here as re spondents, our printed papers are evidence, and we are bound by them. Mr. BODKIN—Then I need not put in any accounts ? CHAIRMAN-At the time the rate was made you say three-fourths of the preceding rate received was not expended, and that we have not put on the order fot' that rate the necessary restraining clause. Mr. BOBKIN—I now come to my second position, that if the Magistrates were not bound by the audit of the ac counts presented on the first day of the Session, and if they were at liberty to receive an additional account from the Treasurer, supposing this to be so—then I contend on the statement and shewing of that account, that in point of fact, three-fourths of the last preceding rate received were not duly expended. CHAIRMAN—Do you mean of the whole amount of the rate, or only of monies actually received of the preceding rate ? Mr. BODKIN—I think we shall not disagree upon that point. I shall submit to you in the first place, that the meaning of the clause is not that the three-fourths must be of the last preceding rate, but of any monies that may have come into his hands. CHAIRMAN—Then you mean that the expenditure of the three-fourths must be taken as of the monies that came into his hands. Mr.. BonxlN—Precisely so ; and you will observe the Sta- tute directs the audit to be not only of the monies received of the preceding rate, but of all former rate or rates not accounted for. Supposing, then, that it be contended that notwithstanding this, the Treasurer is to give in a supple mentary account, still the audit of the accounts presented on the first day of the Session must be the basis upon which the new rate is formed, and it must include the monies received for arrears ; and I contend that the proper construction of the Act is that no new rate can be made without the order containing the restrictive clause, until the amount of cash in the Treasurer's hands is reduced below one-fourth of that sum. I think that is the common sense view of the question, and the Act clearly shows that that was the intention of the Legislature. The rate raised may have produced 20,000/., but, independent of that, he may have received of the arrears of previous rates 10,000/., and when this Court assembles to make a new rate, is it to be borne or allowed that the Treasurer may say I have spent more than three-fourths of the 20,000/. received of the last preceding rate, but as to the 10,000/. received by me of the arrears of former rates, that is not to be taken into the account for the purpose of making a new rate ? Now, I contend that these clauses in the Act of Parlia ment must be construed together, and the account is to be an account of all monies in the Treasurer's hands, whether as received from arrears or of the last preceding rate. The intentions of the Legislature and common sense show that this Court is to have the financial situation of the county before it ; otherwise you may be making a rate when the amount of these arrears may be more than suf ficient for the expenditure of the county without a new rate at all. But Igo further than this, and say the course which has been adopted here is calculated to defeat the whole Act of Parliament. When you audited the accounts of the Treasurer, presented on the lath October, you de clared he had in his hands a cash balance of 12,017/. ; you audited and allowed that account. A supplementary ac count is subsequently presented by the Treasurer on the 27th of October, and in that account we find some of the very items of that 12,0171. balance attempted to be taken out of that account, to enable the Treasurer to ask this Court for a new rate. I will take one case to illustrate the whole, and I refer the Court to the Trcaurer's printed accounts, page 13, where the receipt is thus stated 1836. Oct. 15, Gray's Inn 1834 1835 £4O 12 3 The account in which that receipt for arrears from Gray's Inn is stated, that sum is included in the balance of 12,017/., struck and definitively settled by the audit of the 18th of October. Now look to the same account at page 11, under the date of Sept. 5, and you find this entry : " Received of the Treasurer of Gray's Inn the quota assessed on that Inn of the rate made on the 141 July, 1836 £ss 19 0 This being the state of things on the first day of the Session, and it. goes over till the interval between the first day of the Session and the county day, when a supple mentary account is prepared, and headed " Middlesex." You will observe, that while I call this a supplementary ac count, it. is in point of fact. a continuation of the same account of Mr. Allen. He commences by charging him self with the cash balance on the first day of the Session ; and by receipts between that day and the county day, on the 27th October, he augments the sum to 13,358/.65. 11d., and charges himself with an expenditure of 7,533/. 18s. 2d., the greater part of which was made and paid away on the county day, and still leaving in the Treasurer's hands, when the rate was made, 5,824/. 7s. 111 d. This large balance was reduced, it is very obvious, on the very day that that supplementary account wns rendered ; and I am bound to say that, without meaning any offence to the Treasurer, there does appear to be a disposition to retain the money as long in the Treasurer's hands as possible. CHAIRMAN—You are not aware that there is now an account opened with the Bank of England, so that all motive on the part of the Treasurer to retain large balances is done away. Mr. Bopiuis—l am exceedingly glad to hear that obser vation from the Chair, because it removes any effect of my observation as it relates to the Treasurer. CHAIRMAN—A burnt child dreads the fire ; and the sooner that every county, every corporation, and every public company and individual put their officers on a fair footing of a salary as a remuneration for their services, the better will it be for the country. Mr. BoDKlN—Supposing, then, that every thing had been done properly as to this rate down to the period of making it, you will then see that the cash balance at that time was 5,8241. 7s. 11 d. ; and upon the Treasurer's statement, one-fourth of the last preceding rate received was 5,4501. 19s. 3d., leaving still in the Treasurer's hands a sum beyond the one-fourth of the amount of the last rate received of 388/. 9s. 84d. How, then, under such circumstances could you make a rate without it containing the restrictive clause that no money should be collected upon that rate? How is that 888/. to be got rid of ? Mr. Allen contends that he has a right to re-open the audit although the account has been solemnly closed, and to pick out of that account a few items which he calls sundries, but which are arrears of thriller rates, and one instance of which is the case of Gray's-Inn, already mentioned, and where he actually received arrears from that inn for 1834 and 135, amounting to 40/. 12s. 3d., and subsequently to his receiving the current quarter's rate from the same Inn. CHAIRMAN—Some part of the receipts you why allude to are included in the memorandum o f M r . Allen under the head of extra parochial places 127/. 10s. Od., in Mr. Allen's supplementary account. Mr. BODKIN—Just so, and then by withdrawing these sums from the cash balance in hand, he reduces the sum ex pended of the last rate received by a sum so ' near as 15/. Os. 6d. If then I shesv that he has taken 'these sums ott of the account, after that account has fleol .- autiiied, and then withdraws from the b a l ance o f 12,014.. em , iieolYer-„, • items this identical sum of th e arroa rs 401. 12s. 3d., and which appears in the supplAtiitfitWavaim count, I ask this Court whether it is competent for the Treasurer to do so, and to take out these items of receipt ? I contend that he has no power to do so. I have already said that the three-fourths which must be expended mast be of all the monies received of all former rates, and not of the last preceding. rate ; but supposing for a moment that not to be so, is it right, after that account has been audited and allowed, that he should be allowed to open those ac counts, even if you should be of opinion that you can take a supplementary account from the Treasurer ? The CHAIRMAN—I do not q uitefollow you there ;it is true there is an account on the 27th October, which leaves the Treasurer a balance of cash in his bands of 6,824/. ; it is equally true that he -had a balance of cash in hand on the first day of the Session of 12,0171., which was reduced on the County day to 5,824/., and it is for • the purpose of shewing that . the sums taken out of the supplemental ac count of the 27th October were part of the first .named ba lance, and that they were sums of money which ought to N s, have been expended before other monies of the last pre ceding rate received. Mr. BODKIN—This 401. 12s. 3d. was received an the 15th October, and included in the audited balance of 12,0171. We must proceed by steps :he had actually re ceived the amount I named. CHAIRMAN—The thing is just the same in either case. The way I understand the argument, and in the very lumi nous way you put it is, that the 40/. 12s. 3d, forms a part of the balance of 12,017/., and spews it is not a payment on account of the last preceding rate ; but still it is one of the last sums received. Mr. BODKIN—I say the Treasurer has no right to open that account, and pick out. what items he pleases ; I say that he had no right to expend the new rate until he had exhausted the old rate ; because, without insinua ting any thing against Mr. Allen, the Treasurer, we must nOt forget that he is the only person who has the power by law to collect and enforce the county rates, and he ought not to have facilities given to him to retain balances. I will suppose that these regulations of the Bench as to the account with th e B an k of England may be dispensed with. CHAIRMAN—You are of course to argue upon the Act of Parliament, and not upon any regulations which we, may think proper to make, or any restraints we may impose. Mr. BODKIN—It takes away every argument, if the Treasurer is not bound to account for whatever sum he receives of the arrears. He may neglect to collect these arrears ; he may, as he has done in this case of Gray's Inn, not collect the arrears due from that Inn ; he may, as he has done, receive the current quarter's rate ; and it would be in the power of any Treasurer, if that course be allowed, to keep any sum he liked in his hands ; because he would only have to say, that this Court has only to inquire into the amount of the cash in hand of the preceding rate, and the cash arising from the collection of these arrears might thus be constantly increasing. If so, it must be conceded by this Court to the Treasurer, that, in the payment of the debts due by the county, either that he may pay those claims from the arrears received, or from the receipts of the current quarter's rate, at his own option. It appears to me that the other side must go the whole length of this argument, or our appeal must be allowed on this receipt and expendi ture of the rate and arrears received from Gray's Inn. Be cause he receives the current quarter's rate from Gray's Inn and expends it, while he subsequently receives from that Inn arrears, which have been standing for two years, and then, in his supplementary account, he claims to withdraw the amount of these arrears from the balance declared, in order to demand a new rate,—l ask, then, does he keep separate accounts at the Bank of England, one for the cur rent quarter's rates and the other for the arrears ? It never will be attempted to say he does. Then why is the Trea surer to be invested with this arbitrary power? Why did be not apply all the arrears of old rates, and exhaust them before he touched upon the new rate ? CHAIRMAN — When did the appellants pay the new rate? The TREASURER--On the 12th of December. Mr. BODKIN—I have before me a statement showing the cash balances in the Treasurer's hands during the quarter, which appear to be immense, varying, but ac cumulating from 5,000/. to nearly 13,000/. CHAIRMAN—Our receipts ought to be in one day, and our payments extend over 90 ; and therefore there must be a balance—would you have us job in the Funds or in Ex chequer Bills with that balance ? What are we to do with it, if we do not enforce the rate ? Then we are found fault with. Can you tell me how we are to pay 15,0001. in 90 days without having a balance in the Treasurer's hands. Mr. BonxlN—But how is it, that the 7,0001. or 8,0001. paid between the first day of the Session and the county- - day ?—Could it not have been paid and included in the ac count presented on the first day of the Session ? CHAIRMAN—The items for principal and interest cannot b e paid until they are due, and orders must be made by this Court before others of these items can be paid. Can you advise us as to any means by whi c h we may rece i ve d interestid andn these w e werebalances to adopt i nt the it, v ve should treasurer's receive But a if you severe but well-merited rap on the knuckles for so doing. Mr. BODKIN—I apprehend it is now the duty of the ap pellants to show that three-fourths of the last rate received have not been actually and duly expended. In page 25 of the expenditure, it appears there has £s. d. been paid for the Lunatic Asylum in the audited accounts In the supplementary account 75 9 6 294 8 7 £369 18 1 And in the audited accounts, page 25, for principal... 2,143 0 0 For interest 385 14 0 And in the supplementary account, for interest I contend that these items were not duly expefid 2 e s d 39 oPpro o - perly allowed ; that the exp enses o f t h e L unat i c A sylum o ught to be the subject of a special rate, and cannot by law be paid out of the ordinary rate of the county. • 1 now direct the attention of the Court to the 48 Geo. 111. c. 96. That Act was to provide for th e b e tt er care o f pauper l unat i cs ; and the 7th section enacts, " In order to defray the ne cessary expenses of this Act, that the Justices of the Peace may and shall cause such sums of money as shall have been .. from ti me t o ti me reporte d to t h em to be necessary for that purpose by the visiting justices, to be raised in srch manner as rates are directed to be raised by two Acts of the 12th and 13th of King George the Second, for the more easy assessing, collecting and levying of county rates, or shall order and direct the same to be paid out of the ordinary rate of such county." This then was gibing the magistrates an option, either to pay the esperiscs of the Lunatic Asylum out of the sum to be de rived from a special rate, or out of the ordinary rate of such county. But that option does not now exist, for the 9th G. IV., c. 40 has repealed the 48th G. 111, c. 96, and a new provision is substituted, and by which it is now rendered obligatory on the Justices to provide for these expenses by a special rate. I di, ect the attention of the Bench to the 12th section of the 9th C. IV. c. 40.—" And be it further enacted, in order to defray the necessary ex penses for the execution of this Act, that the Justices of the Peace at their General or Quarter Sessions may and shall assess and tax a special county rate or rates on all rate may by law be places liable to contribute to the county rate, which said special county rate shall be collected, levied, and recovered thing be more in like manner, and by such ways and means and under ch s t c l i°l : ‘e. c sie l :7r ? aanidri Let roe c' i . n do e i:e n arr o e3 l : v i .c' aTls n.C e t r Ya t n t any the 13th section, which is a re-enactment in the modern Statute of the Bth section of the 48th G. 111., in which it is siewn that inasmuch ol a as the building of the County' Lunatic A s yl um may occa s'( i r i z r ot o it n l e lo u f s to public to h m o o ( n ,c e L y ip , i which may occupiers of land and be cothers, the contributors to the county rates, for the benefit of succeeding generations ; and it directs that where the total expenses exceed one•half the average of the county rate upon a mean proportion of the av erage o f tie five pre ceding years, the Justices may borrow on mortgage of the rates therein directed to be made a sum of money, and the same over fourteen years. s.rcaThese two clauses, the one in the repealed Act, and the other in the existing statute, are precisely - the same. The farm, No. 2, of the mortgage, is also precisely the same, namely, that as a se curity to those who advance money for the purpose of the County Lunatic Asylum, you arc to mortgage all the rates Lnownas county rates. but it does not follow that these sums are to be paid out of the ordinary county rate when that portion of the previous St:situte, iilowing it so to be paid, is repealed, and the other prevision enacted, that to defray the necessary expenses of this A.st, the Justices are directed to assess and tax a special county bite or rates. I appears to me then that the form of mortgaga! goes fot nothing—it must be taken as giving to the county creditor an additional security. ell AIL MAN --If they have an additional security on the county rates that closes your argument. Mr. Bontax—l am quite aware that whatever was the intention of the Legislature, the Magistrates might be compelled to payout of the county rate the sum on which these securities were given ; but this would ap ply only to the sum of principal and interest, 2,5391. but it would nut touch the items for repairs, amounting to :_lO9/. 18s. Id. ; and these sums I contend could not be enforced by law out of the ordinary county-rate. Admit ting the full force of these points, still I contend the ma gistrates are not justified in omitting to make the special rate for the expenses of this asylum which the twelfth sec tion authorizes, and, therefore, I feel bound to contend that the 12th section of 9 G. IV. c. 10, is a compulsory one, and that the Magistrates are bound to make a special rate for the Lunatic Asylum, and " to defray the necessary ex penses for the execution of this Act." From that Act, and
