TO THE EDITOR OF THE INDEPENDENT. Sta—l .have taken the liberty to send you a few lines about the trade of Sheffield, and the great impositions that are going on with respect to cast iron. A person that I know has been nutting in iron blades for pen-knives : he could -not afford to put wrought steel blades into his hafts, but he is now putting . cast iron 'both pen and pocket blades into his knives.' Now, Sir, I call these things great impositions both at home and abroad ; this is the way to lose our trade, for people will neither put confidence in us nor our goods ; but that is not all : we are injuring one another. The people that make those spurious articles, can afford them lower than those who make them of steel; when the man that makes his articles of steel goes to the merchant, the merchant says—." I can buy them at such and such a price ;" then the poor man is at the end of his wits to know how they can be made. Now it is not in the merchant's mower to tell whether they are steel or cast iron blades by looking at them. I wish something could be done to abolish cast iron in the cutlery trade altogether. , TIMOTHY MORTON. Southey Green, Nov. 12, 1i323.

Inquest was held at the Turf-tap, Grosvenor-place, before Mr. Higgs, Deputy Coroner. for Westminster, on the body of George Ward, n huraged lii, servant to Mr. James Robinson, of the Angel-inn, Angel -street, St. Martin's-le-Grand— Franeis Curzon, also servant to 31r Robinson, stated that the deceased left the Angel-inn on Tuesday morning about half past b o'clock, in order to go out with the Berkeley hounds ; witness also went; the horse on which the deceased rode was a very steady animal, and very easily managed by the deceased ;• while the houndi were in' full eryoind the deceased and wit nt . n riding alorrg the turnpike-road, about a mile and a half this side of Bedfont, they ran through a drove of beasts, and the deceased's horse took fright. The deceased got his feet disengaged from his stirrups, and in endeavouring to regain ' them, the rowels of his spurs stuck in the horse's sides, which assisted in supporting Jam on the, horse's back, and havin g lost his seat, he was lying back On the horse. The horse continued running until he came to an inn yard, when he turned very quick,and threwthe deceased offwitli great violence, his head coming in contact with-the sign -post. lie was talon up in state of insensibility, and remained in that state for two hours. De was afterwards removed to St. George's Hospital in a post-chaise. Mr. John Cates, dresser to St. George's Hospital, deposed, thaton Tuesday evening the deceased wtts brought to the hospital ;on examin ing his head, witness perceived a de pression and fracture of 'the skull, and his thigh broken ; h e was then sensible, and remained so for about six - hours; but he died on Friday in conseqUerice of the injury he had.received.

He did tint allude to the execrable works of 'Voltaire, of' eliblion, of Rous seau, of flume, of Illirabeau, or of Paine, the bold and open enemies of Christianity, but to the more ineldious acts of the Unitarians. ' The Loun Curry .TrisTlCE.—We really have nothing- to do in this ease with the opinions of tiny class of Christiana. Mr. FRENCH submitted that he had a right, in mitigating the offence of his client, to refer td the (muse by which he had. been led into it. The Learned Counsel then' roceeded, at cell. sidetable length, to urge the inconsistency of prosecuting untie. Revers, when the Legislatore had repented the Act of William and Mary, by which time impugners of the Trinity wore anb jected to severe penalties. The Lout; CrtrEF-JUSTICE observed, thnt the DgislatUre had relieved a curtain class of persons from a partiettlat penalty, but they had done no More, Mr. Justice IIEsT remarked, that be co u ld not take' it for granted that any class of men were guilty of teaching blas phemy.

Mr, FtIIZNCII, in conclueion, appealed to the compassionate feeling* of the'llench, and to that charity which was the chief excellence of the -Christian religion. fie implored them by their sentence, to , convince the defendant of the benignity of that creed which he +ad for a while tbreaken ; and not 'by severe infliction to fix him in contunincioun hatred °fits authority fur life.

The Son iClTOttealt:SrEnan, in reply, observed that the offence of the defendant bud been committed- wilfully; for that he avowed himself an agent arid a zealous disciple at. jr: Carlile. He had no wish to pros for vindicqve puniehment against the, inferior agents of those who net the la* at de fiance, but the principal offenders eluded detection, and it was only by punishing their agents that th e i n l ee hi e f cou ld be stayed in its progress. In reference to the arginnent drawn from the pleach of tinitarians, lie referred to the case of the Xing v. kthiston, 2 .Strange, 1823, where the Court s o ld they would allow th e genera l troll of Christianity to be relied in question, but they did nut Mete) to preclilde diseltsion9 be. twerp learned men on controverted points of theology... The work published by the defendant attacked Christiana) , in the most contumelious terms, anti called Its divine author " an investor and a murderer." This was the offence charged in the defendant; And 110 reasonable man could doubt of the illegal nuture, or the pernicious tendency, of such a publication. The CoUltT, adverting to the defendant's affidavit,' which omitted to state to whom lie gave up ids stock,'or for what pur. pose, directed that he should be committed to Newgate, uni t brought up on the second day of next term, that he might then, if he should be so advised, give the Court information on these particulars. • TILE PING V.

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 25, 1823. LA . COURT OF . CILINCJiRY, Noy. 24. ST. STF.PILF.N'S CHURCH,- COIAM .4.N -ST it EEL FAVLE U. PRATT. - - - - - This Wll9 a case which turned upon tha proceedings at, the last election of a Vicar. The Aerroneseer-Gterritee stated the case. • The Rectory and Aclvowson had been granted by letters patent of the 32d Eliz. to o the use of the parishioners for a money compensation, and the right of electing and presenting the Vicar was vested in the parishioners, and had been exercised by them on every sub serpent vacancy since the grant. He gave the details of each 'election since the great tire in WC, the paper Which recorded the proceedings of the parish before that time having been con: awned. lie read a Tesol4oi*' , 4lftlieh. *A, beet adopted et last election but one, to prevent parishioners from voting who had not paid up their parish and church rates. The Lonn CHANCELLOR asked if there were any. authority for that ? Because if there was not, it was clearly at unlawful restraint. Lord Ilardwicke had expressly held, that in the case of a Rectory granted to the use of a whole parish, every _ one residing within the limits of the parish must be presumed in the first place to have a vote. This right might be qualified by usage of long continuencee—but nothing short of that plea could justify the exclusion. The ATTORNEY,GENERAL said, that he was not aware that there existed any sufficient pretext for that exclusion : and it was not acted upon at the last election. The grounds of come plaint were of a different nature. The election of a vicar, took place in 11lay last. The proceedings were, gene ra lly s p ea ki ng, f a i r and open ; and the plaintiff h a d nothing to complain of, ex cept a mistake into which the trustees had been led to the pre judice of his election, and without the occurrence of which he would have been elected. Dr. Lushington was appointed assessor, and that gentleman laid it down as law, that no Roman Catholic or Jew could be allowed to vote. The numbers were for the plaintifflo ; for the defendant 97. Now, there were two persons of the Jewish persuasion who presented themselves, and their ballot papers were refused. He was to contend that they ought to have been received, and then the election would have fallen on the plaintiff. At the first hearing of' the case he . acknowledged that he had felt as the trustees might have felt— that it would be an odd thing to admit Jews to tha elec. don of priests to serve in a Christian Church. Upon re. search, however, he discovered that Jews had an undoubted right. That they were capable of bolding advowsons was clear, from what took place in the celebrated debates of 1753 and 1733, upon the Naturalization Bill. The opinion of Lord Hardwieke, Serjeant Raymond, Kittleby, and all the great lawyers who spoke in the debates was, that notwithstanding the old statute which had fallen into decay, Jews were capable to hold lands and advowsons by the law as it stood before. There was a clause introduced into the bill, however, to save scandal to scrupulous consciences, which took away the right of holding advowsons. The disquiet which was expected caused the Par. liament to repeal the bill in the following year, and then it was j proposed th a t the clause against Jews holding i advowsons should be continued. The bill was repealed altogether, and the law stood upon the same footing as before the bill. As, tinder that well.sanctioned understanding of the law, .Jews would be able to present to a vacant church, there could be no'question that Dr. Lushington was wrong in his exposition of it at the election. There were other votes tendered for the plaintiff, which were objected to on no better grounds. The apothecary of the Opthalmic Hospital had been rejected, though a persbn of per fect reepectahility, because, though he paid the rates, th e y were allowed to bun b ac k aga i n b y the society; while, on the other hand, several v o t es were accepted for the defendant from per sons who were in situations much nearer the condition of ser vents; and above all, the first vote given for the defendant was by a Mr. Everett, who was an alien. Now, certainly; however It might be with native Jews, whom Mr,!Fi eakerley alone of all the lawyers concerned in the debates of 7.t2-I,e.onsidersd aS alien rue. mica, there could be no question as to the rights of alien% They were not able to hold lands except for limited and very pant cider purposes. The vote of Mr. Everett Was unquestionably a bad vote. Deducting theft from the lists on one side, and adding the two Jews and the apothecary on the other, there would be a clear majority for the plaintiff: and he hoped his Lordship would grant the prayer of the petition, which was, to stay the trustees from presenting, and tbe Bishop from ac cepting, the defendant for vicar—to declare the election. void, and either direct the trustees to present the piaintiff, or to pro ceed to a new election. The Bishop of London was nominally a defendant, but as might be expected from hiM„ he had not interfered one w a y or . t h e other. The whole of' the trustees were defendants, and a few of the parishioners joined the plain tiff in the bill. It was not to be peestimed against the plain tiffs, or even an behalf of the chairman who presided, that they concurred. They had no cemplaiot as to the conduct of itny partici, t they conformed, as they were hound to do, to the ore der decreed by the chairman, and he guided his conduct by the direction of the learned person who wax assessor: nn one in siny case thereby waved his right, it' afterwards it should einem that there was any thing illegal in the proceedings. • 31r. Summer follnwedPli the same side. Ile had taken some pains to clear up his doubts on the right of Jewo to . hold ad vowsons and to present. Ile apprehended the whole of this question would turn upon another—were the Jews able to hold lands under the old law ? Iris Lordship would find a whole series of cases cited in Maddox's Exchequer; under the head of " Jews Exchequer," reaching from very remote times in which that right was etiolate:l. In the reign of Itiehruel 1., Lords Lei. teeter and Arundel had mortgaged their lands in fee to Jews.— There must have been advowsons appendant, forin that time chaplaincies were unknown to the Jew. By the 3d and 4th of Edward 1., Jews' might take a moiety of the lands of their Christian debtors in .execution, which proved that they were able to hold lands, for it was nut till the stnnete of Wei:twin ster that fatness were mode liable In execution for debts. The same act allowed them to purchase in cities or boroughs, ore° take land in them, provided no homages or advowsons were in. cident ; but a clearer proof wes in that which followed upon their expulsion in 1290. Great escheets, both of lambi and chattels, fell to. the King, in consequence of their departiire. tinder • the protectorate of Cromwell, there was considerable dismission as to the propriety of re-introducing the Jews. The epinion of the most eminent lawyers taken at the time was, that they were under the lath as it then stood, capable of re-admission, and accordingly, uuder the restoration, they did return in num bers, so that the statute de Judd:trio of Edw. I. ' which was not to be found in the rolls if ever it,existeil, washy this time reekOned so have fallen into entire, cheese. The charter of John allowed them to hold fees and mortgages the sumo as in the time of Edw. L In the 33d lien. lit, there was a writ of right brought into the Jews' Exchequer. The King directed the Barons of his own Eeehe((pier to do justice between the contending Jews —annther unqurstionahle proof that they were able to hold lends. By the statute of .Edward I, de J'inlaistno, no Jew could alien in fee, or other Wise dispose of lands, &c., without the Kin g ' s li cen ce; but the exi stenc e et ' that statute, at one time qu est i ona bl e , was now most posidvely denied, All that could be shown on the other side was, that ley ancient rte cords it app eare d t h at t h e J e ws were a t t h e mercy of the King of Engl an d.

It might seem strange and di„ gee eahle to nice coneciences for one who denied Christ to present a Christian Church would it not be more afflicting to such consciences to know that an Atheist, who believed in rm God could present ?

Mr. llEats) stated, that this was an application for an in. ,junction to restrain the defendant from further prty:eedingwat law, on a bond thr one thousand pounds passed by the plaintiff to the defendant, and that the said bond be delivered up anti can.; celled, it having been passed without any valuable consideration. The hill was filed in June, 1821, and n appeared from it that the plain tiff; J os h ua Paul Meredith, Esq. was a young man of considerable fortune, and the defendant, Jane Amelia flenstm O'Donovan, a young lady of great beauty, fashionable man ners, and necomplishments, between whom an acquaintance took place'in March, 1821, in the following manner :—The bill alleged that a Madame Beaumont resided in Norfnik.street, Virosvenor-square, and kept a- house for th e purpnaes of in trigue, and that ti M. Amelia Cummins kept a house for in- ~ tngue in Wyndiwiaeplace, Montageeneware ; tient .Nl6:' ' Drummond, formaly tilled .!Heaters, Yene . drittenteetiof Mist. Cummins!, tot! that a Mr. Itii,;(hatu Lane, an nttomey, mer. 1 sled a sister of Mrs. .Drammond—further that these persons Weft in the habit of visiting each other, and that the defendant was the niece or sister of the said Mrs. Drenunond, other. wise Musters. The bill then stated that some time ago the plaintiff became acquainted with several persona of gay and dissipated habits, who took advantage of his youth and easy disposition; and induced him to join them in their pus. Suns, by which his bodily health and mental faculties became impaired. It then alleged that the }seasons before named laid a plan ; in consequence of which he was introduced, by a Captain Butler, to Madam Beaumont, who promised to introduce him to the defendant, lane Amelia Hanson O'Donovan. That introduction, did not take place, but he met the defendant a few days after in Park-street, on the 10th of February, 1821. Sh e agree d to di ne with him nt his residence in Park -street on that day, and . repeated her visit on the next Tuesday, and continued to reside in his house far a fortnight following. That during that time they were frequently visited by Mrs. Cummins, Mrs. Drummond, Madam Beaumont, and the other persons b e f ore name d. They dined with him, and induced him to drink wine and ;spirits to excess. Thedefendant affected a great regard for the plaintiff; and he was made to be lieve by her protestations, and the declar a ti ons o f t h e others, that she was att a ch e d t o dru, and she . gained his affections. That when his attachment wan perceived, .Mary Cummins spoke to him to make a settlement on the defendant, and she threatened that the defendant would leave him unlesS he settled on ' her 500/, a year. He said he would make some provision for her, and agreed to pass a bond for 1,000!. That a bond was drawn up accordingly by Mr. Lune, in which Kirkham Lane and Mary Cummins were made the obligees ; but on the representation of the defendant, these names were taken out, and the defendani made sole obligee.— The bond was made paystble the Ist of May, 1823. The plaintiff I then alleged that he was induced on the following Friday to drink to excess, and that on getting up on the Saturday, he was prevail ed on by the arts of the defendant to execute the bond, which he . did in the presence of Mr. Lane, and that the defendant took up mid retained the bond. The defendant, it appeared, left his home on Monday following, and subsequently took law proceeding!! for the recovery of the bond. Mr. Heald said that he read these i'acts from the bill rather than hazard any misrepresentations by a suite- ; ment. The answer of Miss Jane Henson O'Donovan was put in j on her behelf by Mr, James AN:4oth O'Donovan, her nearest relative, as she was a minor. It admitted several unites portant facts of the bill, but objected to Answer to other parts relative to her connection with the plaintiff, as it might ' subjecther to ecclesiastical censures. She described the terms of intimacy on which the acm' partiea mentioned in the bill were, and site gives it as her belief, that she herself possessed seme i personal Leant .11, firshivnable, manners, and aeon:pHs& nrents. She denied that any attempt!! were made to intoxi -1 sate the plaintiff; and that he wad only once, during their ac quaintance, remarkably affected with liquor. She denied that any arts were used, either by her or others, to induce him to make a provision tnr her. That the plaintiff, of his own de cord, did, in Mardi MI, promise to m a k e h er a settlement, and that he was not in a state of intoxication when that pro vision was made, She alleges, that when the plaiotitfspoke of that, settlement; she mentioned her wish that Mr. Lane, her relative, should ace it, and that the plaintiff replied, your relative may prepare it, and that his man °of business was ordered to give Lane instruction for the parpose. She' denied that the plaintiff' was intoxicated on the 24th of March. The bond was brought to him at his home, in Park, street, 'at three in the afternoon, when he signed and delivered it to the defendant. The several allegations of time answer were ended by the words, " or by muse or muses, the discovery wiaereof is not heretofore objected." Mr. Heald commeeted on the the ambiguity of these words, as the defendant appeared to shelter hereelt under them from a confession of the facts to which she objected. The Conlin' considered that they referred to her connection with the plaintiff, which she objected to confess from the ap. prehension of eeclesiasticahcensures. • Mn.

Why have you not excepted to this answer P Mr. Brant) explained, that the plaintiff was arrested by the defendant, and that since the filing of the bill the solicitor was changed. These cireumstanses caused delay, and pre vented an exception to the bill. But he rested his case nn the peculiar manner in which the defendant refused to . answer to any part of the bill by the phrase " not before objected to." It was to be assumed that the plaintiff was induced— VICE.CSIANCELLOII.—I do not think so. if die Passage was taken alone, it would be a negative pllegnant, but if con videred with what is said before, the meaning is quite obvious. There may be ground for strong suspicion in this ease, but I cannot act on suspicion as you want, but on a confession of merit. The quest= may be; whether there are not facts con. fessed, which, taken with the refusal to ans wer others, do form grounds for the Court interf er i ng t o restrain proceedings on payment of the money into Court. Mr.' Hiratn—She admit% the facts of residence with the plaintiff; her knowledge of his being is man of fortune; the visits of the :several parties ; the bond 'being drawn up by her relation ; the alteration in it on her suggestion. She admits there was no contilderation, and Oki that she left his houseeon the Monday following. - ' . V11.3E-(!itso4 es: 1.1.0 n—Does she admit the fact of residence lit. Ilrinia•n-The bill alleges she lived at fortnight, but I see she does not admit It. She admits the residence by denying that he was intoxicated while she was with him. He (Mr. Heald) did .not think that he could chew more in the answer than whether there was not cause for a well-grounded motion. Vic E-Ciwt cinLort—Whe ther she admits enough to create an inquiry at laW. Mr. REA Lo—Wp can't try at law ; we can't get at the pate ties ; they arc keeping out of the way. Mr. AVAT nrrtran contended brieflfor the def e ndant, t h at there was nothing in the accurate fats of the case to call for the interference of the Court. There was no attempt to, cent a reproach on her character before bar acquaintance with the. plaintiff. The bond ' was given either as an act of justice or an act of generosity froru the plaintiff; arid in either case it should he upheld, Mr. Hineen—There is not enough in the answer to skew that it watt a pre Byre pudoeis. . The Vlc K.CITANCELLOR gave judgment.—The case of the pleintiff is a very short one. Asreat many circumstances arc introduced into the bill not at All essential to the merits, His . Honour then recapituleted the facts, and concluded by saving that lie was of opinion, that though the filets of the case did not sanction the interference of. the Coon to the full, extent of the application, yet thep Wlta sufficient, in what the defendant COW. tetled in her answer, And what she refuses to answer, to call for some interference on hiwpart. lie would only grant the in. junction, on the plaintiff paying the money in the C o u r t.
