A very numerous meeting of the Irish Members of Parliament took place at half-past two o'clock this day at the Reform Club-house, Pall-mall, forthe purpose of arranging the plan of operations for the: present Session. The proceedings were merely preliminary to a public meeting, and strictly private; we are, there fore unable to lay any report of them before our readers. We have been favoured by our respected Contem porary, the Western Times, with the Report of a meeting of tWe Reformers of Witheridgc and its neigh bourhood, which will be found in an abridged form in another part of our paper. The Hon. NEWTON FEL LOWES presided at this entertainment, and acquitted himself, as he always does, in an admirable manner. We beg particular attention to the happy mode in which the Hon. Gentleman excluded the contemptible crea ture who is playing such antics in Hanover, from the honour of having his health drunk as a member of the Royal Family of England. The following are the words in which the Chairman gave the toast :—" The rest of the Royal family now resident in England." The company testified their approbation of the quali fication here introduced by loud cheers and clapping of hands. We hope this amendment will in future be adopted at every Reform meeting. We know it is implied, but it is better—much better—that there should be a public and general confession of faith on this point. Lord EBRINGTON made a quiet sensible speech, but did not enter into the discussion of any of the particular measures of Reform which now occupy the public mind. By far the ablest pamphlet that has yet appeared in favour of the Ballot has just been published by Messrs. Ridgway, in the form of a letter addressed by Lord NUGENT to the Earl of DURHAM. We have rarely met with such a repertory of sound c onstitutional doc trines, clothed in language at once calm, dignified, and convincing. The noble writer grapples with the whole question ; examines it with the eye of a states man from every point of view ; and finally comes to the conclusion, that not only must the Ballot be soon adopted, but that it is the duty of Ministers to make its adoption a Government measure. The principles of the Reform Bill were, as every body must know, to extend the Suffrage, and to secure those entrusted with it from the action of every kind of corrupt and coer cive influence. These principles the present Ministers undertook to establish, when, in succeeding Earl GREY, they charged themselves with seeing carried into full effect those provisions of that Bill which the lieble framer deemed sufficient for their realization. The finality of the Reform Bill was assumed, because its machinery was not supposed to be imperfect. To perfect such machinery the Ballot is now known to be indispensable; and the instant such is the conviction of the Cabinet, that instant arc Ministers bound to fight as strenuously for the Ballot as they did for the Reform Bill. Now that bribery is carried on to a most shame ful extent—that bribery is the rule and purity of election is the exception—through every part of the United Kingdom, is avowed b y all parties. The Tories avow it by the fact of their peti tioning against the return of so many Liberal Mem bers. These petitions arc so many Tory petitions against the present electoral system. They establish the necessity of a change, even while designed to cover the corrupt intrigues of a faction. The Whigs and Radicals have always declaimed against bribery at elections as an evil at once general and notorious. All parties are therefore against the present system ; but most the SPOTTISWOODE gang. The question then at issue, simply is—Will the Ballot protect the voter in the exercise of his right to vote according to the dictates of his conscience ? Lord NUGENT maintains —in common with every man who has carefully and dispassionately examined the question in all its bear ill most undoubtedly. With respect ,among--thieves principle so frequently as influencing, and likely to con the hulk of English constituencies, ll observes : (1 object and duty of all law, for the pro 'c iateroos and the public murals, to break confi,knce between parties conspiring to ,Ft ant+ fraudulent bargain. The law by no means countenances any pretended sentiment of honourable compact for a corrupt and fraudulent purpose. This mock chivalry and counterfeit good faith in what is itself sordid and dishonest can meet with no respect or sympathy under any but a very imperfect 'code of ethics of law and of social habits. The law in every case openly . invites to breach of engagement be tween such parties. It invites witnesses, in inquiries into cor ruption at elections, by exempting them from any penalties which might result to them from the proof of their own participation in such corruption. The Statute of 3 Edw. 1., cap. 5, makes every attempt, of great men or others, to interfere with the freedom of a vote by menace highly penal,—punishable, ac cording to Lord Coke, by fine and imprisonment, who thus lays it down as law." Lord NUGENT disposes, in a single syllogism, of the silly objection preferred against the Ballot, on the ground that it will destroy confidence in the pledges given by tenants to their landlords. Should it destroy such confidence there will be an end of the exaction of pledges, and thus the evil so much dreaded by the To ries will cease to afflict the country almost as soon as felt. If such confidence be not destroyed, then the ob jection vanishes at once. Were the exaction of pledges found useless, the noble writer's conviction is that "much of the cajolery, much of the meanness and fraud, and all the corruption and intimidation now practised in a canvass, would be abolished. The in sinuated promise, the hinted penalty would be abo lished ; and all that degrading importunity would be at an end, which so lowers the canvasser in his own es teem, and in that moral dignity which should belong to a man presenting himself as fit to be selected, by many, and from among many, for a high trust." The " cajolery and meanness" to which representatives are constrained to have recourse at a canvass, would al most seem to have been intended as a prelude to the part which the electors intended them to perform in St. Stephen's. The candidate who stoops to the meanness of a personal contact with the vilest dregs of a corrupt borough population —who secures his election by pandering to the beastly appetites of the husband and the silly vanity of the wife—gives an earnest to his constituents that he will manifest an equal pliancy whenever the Court wishes him to yoke himself to the car of the Minister. On the alleged unmanliness of the Ballot, Lord NUGENT is particularly happy. After observing that among the foremost to tell the poorer voter that it would not be manly in him to discharge a public trust by a secret suffrage, is a class of public functionaries, not remarkab!e for their love of open voting in mat ters connected with the discharge of their official duties, his Lordship caustically continues :—" I remember a time when it was a much contested question whether the accounts of Counties should be audited, and the public money voted at Quarter Sessions, in open Court or with closed doors. I remember a time when it was a much contested question whether the public should be admitted as a right within the doors of a Petty Ses sions rooms. And I also remember that those of that class of public functionaries, who were loudest and firmest in the maintenance of the custom of voting away in secret the public money, of which they were trustees, and in be:talf ?f the custom of adjudicating in secret at Petty Sessions, on fines and imprisonments, are now among those who are loudest and firmest in denouncing the unmanliness of a secret vote at an election. * * Nov that Magistrates charged with the trust of adjudicating on questions of personal liberty, and of property, both public and private, and bound to administer the same ,justly under penalty, should be suffered to vote in secret; and electors, actin for themselves and answerable in no legal penalty, should be bound, at all risk of being exposed to private vengeance, to vote in public, is what I cannot reconcile to any principle of reason or of justice." We have not yet come to the gist of the Noble Lord's letter—to his answer to the ignorant clamour about the Ballot being " Uri-English ;"—nor will our space allow us to do so in our columns of to-day. But to his Lordship's reasoning upon this point we shall take the earliest possible opportunity of doing ample justice. Meanwhile we recommend this excel lent letter to the perusal of every elector who can pro cure a copy of it ; and we further suggest to the Com mittee of the Reform Association, that a great benefit would be conferred on the working classes by reprint ing it in the cheapest form for general circulation. The doctrines of Lord NuGENT's pamphlet cannot be too extensively circulated, too generally and care fully studied, or too speedily and firmly adopted. It is painful to read such an article as that which appears in the Chronicle of this morning relative to the affairs of Portugal. What object the writer had in view we cannot say ; but about the tendency of the article, and the impression which it is caluclated to make not only on a powerful party, but on the great body of the people in Portugal, there cannot be any doubt or mistake. The Chronicle has the character abroad of being the organ of the Government, and the Portuguese will therefore put down the abuse heaped on leading men in Lisbon, and the contempt shown for the people of that capital, not to the Editor of the journal, but to Lord HOWARD DE WALDEN and Lord PALMERSTON. This is a strange way of conciliating the friendship of an old ally, and promoting British interests. The events which have occurred within the last twelve months show the power of the dominant party in Por tugal, and also the influence and determination of the people in Lisbon ; they also show that the people have some national spirit left ; yet the Chronicle, in its anxiety to uphold British interests, and, as a necessary step to such a purpose, to gain the confidence and good-will of the Portuguese people, strangely attacks, in the most violent language, -many of the leaders of the party, avowedly dictates to the Portu guese Government in reference to the formation of a new Administration, and concludes with a sneer at the moral character of the people of Lisbon. This is truly an Irish way of drawing closer the bonds of amity between the two countries. The people of Lisbon, we believe, are fully as moral, and certainly as little disposed to shed the blood of the defenceless as the people of Madrid or Barcelona— ' their leaders have never countenanced or permitted such horrible acts of atrocity as have been perpetrated by the authors of the Durango decree, or by some of their equally ruthless opponents—but on the con trary, during the late contests, have shown, with the exception of the death of FREIRE, a de gree of moderation, and a reluctance to shed the blood of a fallen enemy, hardly equalled in the civ wars of any country. In these times the moderation of the people of Lisbon in the hour of victory, has no parallel but that of the French people during the three days of July, when they swept a despot from his throne, and imprisoned or exiled his tyran nical Ministers. Yet the men under whose Go vernment such moderation was shown are called " violent and unprincipled leaders," " thriving slave drivers," " enriched peculators," " pardoned traitors." Will such language as this, coming from the Govern ment organ, facilitate commercial negociations, or pave the way for renewing the friendly relations which have so long subsisted between the two countries ? Whatever the character of the people of Lisbon may be, they, like the inhabitants of most capitals, think them selves the best and the bravest in the world ; and the only eject of heaping abuse upon them and their leaders will be bad feeling towards the BritiA Minister at Lisbon, and determined hostility to the country of which he is the Representative. The course of policy which our Government ought to pursue is plain and simple. NVe have disclaimed all inter ference in the formation of a Constitution for Portu gal; and by taking a side openly or covertly with eithe party, we only negative in practice what we profess. Our main objects ought to be—strict neutrality, the cul tivation of good feeling, and the adjustment of commer cial relations, alike beneficial to both countries. How abusive language can show our neutrality, or promote our commercial interests, we are at a loss to imagine. Dr. LUSIIINGTON has got rid of the Braintree Church-rate case, which has treated so much interest, by a decision—if such it can be called—which amounts to nothing. The Learned Gentleman did not enter into the merits of the case before him. He merely stated that he did not feel himself justified in deciding that Churchwardens had not power to make a Church rate, if the parishioners refused to do so, because a higher Court than that over which he presided had decided that they had. In a case which he considered exactly parallel to the present, that Of GARNADEN v. SELBY, Sir WILLIAM WYNNE in the Court of Arches decided against the parishioners and in favour of the Churchwardens. This decision, though it was the only one of the kind to be found in the law books, he considered a binding precedent to an inferior Judge, though not to one of co-ordinate authority ; he therefore adopted it as such, and with the less reluctance, as the present case would be carried before the Court of Arches, and would come there unaffected by any judgment or opinion of his, either the one way or the other. We sincerely regret that Dr. LUSHINGTON should have taken this view of the duty which devolved upon him as a Judge in this important case. Independently of the benefit which the public and the legal profession would have derived from the elucidation, by a man of Dr. LUSHINGTON'S acknowledged ability, of a question on which there exists so much difference of opinion, we cannot help thinking that the Learned Judge himself would have stood higher in the public estimation, had he not shrunk from the responsibility of delivering his own interpretation of the law as it bears upon this deeply interesting question. We must be so plain with Doctor LUSHINGTON as to tell him, that the reason which he has assigned for not entering•into the merits of this case, and deciding it according to his own view of these merits, is not a satisfactory one—is not sufficient to keep down a suspicion that he has availed himself of a subterfuge to avoid perhaps an unpleasant, but nevertheless imperative duty. But that we may not seem to charge a public man with a direliction of duty, without good grounds, we shall go a little more into detail. Dr. LUSITINGTQN states that he has laid it down as a rule for the guidance of his judicial conduct, never to give a deci sion contrary to precedent sanctioned by a superior court. This may be a very good rule, or it may be a very bad one. It must at all events depend a great deal o n what is sufficient to constitute " precedent." Where there is a continuous stream of decisions fora long period in exactly similar cases, a legal point becomes so esta blished as to fix ridicule upon the Judge—whether of co ' ordinate or inferior jurisdiction—who presumes to ques tion it. But, on the other hand, it can hardly, we think, be maintained, that one single decision of a superior court, and that, too, in a case not in every point pre cisely identical with the one before the inferior court, nor void of the suspicion, of inaccuracy in the report given of it in the books of law, is sufficient to con stitute a precedent too sacred to be violated by any but a Judge of equal authority with him who gave the decision. Such we conceive to be the character of the decision of Sir W. WYNNE (in 1799), in deference to which Dr. LUSIIINGTON declined exercising his own judg ment in the Braintree case. There is but that one de sion, and it is not a parallel case. For the rate on account of which SELBY was prosecuted, was a re trospective rate, which it is agreed on all hands is illegal ; whereas the point raised in the Braintree case was, whether the Churchwardens have power to make a prospective rate when the parishioners have refused to grant one. Nov, if Sir W. WYNNE could give a decision which, in one important point, at least, every lawyer now knows to be contrary to law, we do think that that circumstance alone was sufficient to jus. tify Dr. LUSIIINGTON, though an inferior Judge, in divesting his mind for a moment of the reverential awe of the late Dean of the Arches' Court, which seems to have overwhelmed it in so unaccountable a manner. In addition to this, it may be remarked, that the Learned Judge himself has thrown no inconsiderable discredit upon the decision alluded to, by stating that it was till very lately quite unknown to him, never referred to in any one instance, and not noticed by any contemporaneous reporter. The citation was dated the 17th of April ; the party appeared on the 28th of May ; and the rate was stated to have been made on the 11th. of May I And it is this contradictory, absurd, and trumpery case which is to fetter the minds of all succeeding Judges ! We stated some time ago that numerous public meetings were held in almost every county and town in Lower Canada, to consider the motive, purport, and probable effect of Lord JOHN RussaLL's celebrated coercive Resolutions. At these meetings the Resolu tions were unanimously condemned ; the Imperial Par liament pronounced ignorant of the real state of public feeling in the Canadas ; and the conduct of Lord Gos- FORD denounced as oppressive and revolutionary. His Excellency, the Lieutenant-Governor, did not relish the strictures passed upon his viceregal policy at these meetings ; and he retaliated upon them, first, by the dismissal of such militia officers and magistrates as were present at them ; and when this official corrective failed, by a Proclamation forbidding such meetings in any part of the Province. The Canadians required not to be told that such proclamations had not the force of law—that in the then pacific state bf the Province they were clearly against the law and Constitution of the country—and they very properly refused obedience to them. As for the Militia Officers and the Magistracy, they threw up their Commissions rather than become parties to the oppression of their fellow-subjects ; and at the meetings at which some of them attended to denounce the illegality of the Proclamations, copies of them were produced and torn by some of the speakers in a fit of political excitement excusable under:the circumstances. Lord GOSFORD now supposed that he had got the leaders of the Liberal party fairly within his gripe. The Attorney-General was instructed to prosecute them, for having "unlawfully, seditiously, and traitor ously" torn a Royal Proclamation. The Q U EEN'S name was invoked to sanction the zeal of the Lieu tenant-Governor ; and an act intended merely to express disapprobation of the conduct of Earl Gos- FORD, was deliberately set forth as a personal insult to the Majesty of Great Britain and the sacred person of our Most Gracious SOVEREIGN. When the indictment was submitted to the Grand Jury of the district, they refused to find a bill ; whereupon the Attorney-General, instead of yielding to the ac quittal of the accused by a Jury, came forward and filed ex-officio informations against them, and de manded that they should be instantly put upon their trial for the very offence of which the Jury had de clared them innocent ! Surely our Government could never have sanctioned such an act of mean tyranny as this. No Minister could have dared to recommend an official in any part of the British dominions to trample upon that most sacred bulwark of our liberties—trial by Jury. We therefore call upon Lord MELBOURNE to inquire into, and publicly punish by dismissal from their appointments, the authors of this violation of the sacred fountain of British liberty. To the credit of the Canadian Bench, the first application of the Attorney-General was refused, though it yielded so far as to require bail for the appearance of the accused at the next criminal term. _. Annexed will be found, extracted from a Canadian Journal, a Report of the proceeding to which we have referred. We have copied it verbatim, lest it might be supposed that we had given too high a colouring to any of the facts therein stated. The Go vernment cannot attach too much importance to it. If acts of tyranny—of open, undisguised despotism—of this nature be suffered, Lord MEL➢OURNE may rest assured that the Canadians will follow the example of the United States. The people will be driven to de spair ; and whenever they are, there will be an end of all subjection to the mother country. To us there is nothing terrible in such a prospect—we know that the Canadas cannot be for ever kept in leading-strings— that when their physical and moral resources are more fully developed, they will cease to yield allegiance to the Crown of England. But a knowledge of this fact ought only to induce us to treat them with more kindness—to impart to them a speedier knowledge of the blessings of liberty--and to habituate them betimes to the exercise of those high functions of Government which sooner or later they will be called Upon to per form on their own account. We should make it our study to be able to command the gratitude when we can no longer calculate upon the subjection of the Ca nadians. Such is our view of this question ; and hence it can excite no surprise when we ask—ls there any man in England mad enough to suppose that such conduct as is denounced in the following Report, is not calculated to accelerate, in the manner most to be deprecated, the separation of the Canadas from the !Mother country ? LOWER CANADA. EX-OFFICIOS FILED BY HER MAJESTY'S ATTORNEY- GENERAL OGDEN. We mentioned in our last the acquittal by the Grand Jury of this District of Dr. Duchenois, whom the Attor ney-General had indicted for having, as it was alleged, " un lawfully and seditiously torn a Royal Proclamation." Dur ing the same term, this Crown Officer also submitted to the Grand Jury a bill of indictment against Isidore Lsuzon, Lerite Dupras, Francois Danis, and Moyse Danis, for conspiracy." The Grand Jury threw out this indictment, and there not being sufficient matter of accusation, returned " No Bill." Thus far the proceedings were regular. The Attorney- General submitted bills of indictment ; the Grand Jury found " No Bill," the allegations contained in the indict ments not affording, in their opinions, sufficient matter of accusation, and the accused had a right, as the Judges on Saturday admitted, of being immediately discharged, after the Grand Jury had quashed the indictments against them. Did the Attorney-General consent to this measure of admitted justice ? Quite the contrary. Immediately before the breaking up of the Court, he came forward and filed three ex officio informations against Dr. Du cliesnois and other individuals, for the very same of fences of which the Grand Jury acquitted them but the day before, and demanded (will it be believed in any part of the British Empire ?) that the accused should be immediately called on to plead, that is to say, to de clare themselves "guilty " or " not guilty," on an information proffered against them on the spot without the intervention of a Grand Jury, of the contents of which they were en tirely ignorant, and the ink on which was as yet scarcely dry 1 This gross oppression was too much even for our Judges. The Attorney-General's application was refused by the Court—but the accused were obliged to enter into recogni zances to appear at the Court at the next Criminal Term to answer to Mr. Ogden's ex-officios. We hope the country at large will arouse itself to a pro per sense of the danger with which it is threatened by this new encroachment on the rights of our citizens, and make itself heard even in the closets of its oppressors, in such a way as will give them to understand that the people will not patiently submit to be harassed and decimated by cor rupt officials, even to save Lord Gosford and his proclama tion from that contempt which they so richly deserve, and which has so abundantly been measured out to them. We direct the attention of the noble Foreign Se cretary to the following extract from a French journal of Wednesday, on the subject of another meditated violation of the , treaty of Vienna : A letter of the 25th ult., from Cracow, given in the Con stitutionnel, announces the existence of a negotiation between the Cabinets of St. Petersburgh and Vienna for the cession of the Republic of Cracow,, Austria wishing to make that city the capital of Galicia, and Russia consenting to such an ar rangement if the Emperor Ferdinand would abandon his pre tensions to Wallachia and Moldavia and to the navigation of the Danube. The negotiation is said to be carried on through the medium of Prince Metternich and the Bailli Tatischeff. According to the Austrian officers who were present at the camp of Wosnesensk, the Emperor openly manifests his ani mosity towards the Constitutional Powers of Western Eu rope, and has even said that his late muster of troops at Wosnesensk was for the purpose of showing them that he has soldiers to combat the revolutionary spirit. Prince Paske. witsch had resumed his former activity at Warsaw, where he was reviewing troops and busying himself with minute details of Administration." Brussels and German Papers have been received this morning. The latter have letters from Berlin, expressing the conviction of persons there that ERNEST would triumph in his despotic designs upon the liberties of Hanover. The tyrant had well pre pared himself for his attack upon the Constitution, by corrupting all of whose influence he had any dread. BELGIAN 1. UNDS—Bauseats, Nor. 15. Actual Debt, 2% per Cent.

The French Journals of Wednesday have all been received. The following telegraphic despatch from Spain was communicated to the Government only a few 'hours before the departure of the mails for London : " BAYONNE, Nov. 14.—Espartero arrived at Pampeluna on the 10th instant, with 23 battalions and 11 squadrons. It is asserted that his intention is to make the same example at that place, of the authors of the insurrection of August last, that he lately did at Miranda of the murderers of Escalera." In the insurrection here alluded to, General SAARS FIELD was killed, in the attempted commission of an act of military tyranny. The Chimere steamer arrived at Toulon on the 10th, having on board the body of General PEREGAUX, who died of his wounds during the passage. The French Princes and their Staff had returned to Bona, leaving only 2,800 men under BERNELLE, to keep possession of Constantine. Marshal VALLEE has asked to be recalled, probably dreading that a longer stay in Africa might tarnish his laurels. We have no advices of any moment from Madrid. A dispatch from ORA& estimates the loss of the Christinos in the engagements of the 25th and 26th ult., in the plains of Villar de Cascas, at 12 killed and 90 wounded. ORAA claims a victory over CA BRERA, but this is not probable, inasmuch as the Carlists remained masters of the field. Advices from Constantinople of the 25th ult. state that the coolness between the French and the Ottoman Governments increases daily, and that some alarm was created by the appearance of the French fleet off Smyrna in the wake of the Turkish squadron. It ap. pears also that France and Russia are not on the best terms, and that the EMPEROR is doing all in his power to force France to come to an open rupture with him. The following are extracts from the Papers : The Memorial Bordelais of the 12th contains an article on Spain in which we have remarked the following lines :—" The Cortes are to meet on the 19th November. The Queen will find herself again surrounded by her friends, the moderate aristocrats, who will undoubtedly have a great majority. It is said that the Queen is to propose to the Cortes the plan of an amnesty to make an appeal to the Spaniards, who keep aloof from the throne of her august daughter ; this measure is said to have been suggested to her by the Mole Ministry, always faithful to its system of conciliation." Tommx, Nov. 10.—A Tunisian corvette has arrived here, and after firing the salute usual between allies, delivered the dispatches which it had on board, and which contain, it is said, an autograph letter from the young Bey of Tunis, thank ing the King of the French for the service which his ships ren- incr.R--th it wil -INEW.7 - ei.: ct. ~;. t c , t noLir-a quoted itt ft , kir. . ~, tn. tinu Ito 11 nee 4 , 1 :,,i his Lorclshis ell is i 1 ~ .o.\- - =, ~, I t F y i wer. ? - t ction of tli übli, u , and destroy all erect storrupt and THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 1837. dered, on the death of his father, and making very obliging offers on the subject of the occupation of Africa.

The House met at three o'clock, and the oaths were ad. ministered to several Peers present. HOUSE OF COMMONS. The SrEAkeetoOk the Chair at Twelve o'Clock ; and after counting the House, proceeded to administer the oaths to those Members present who had not yet been sworn. Amongst the number we observed Mr. Hume, Mr. Bro therton, Lord Ebrington, Captain Monnypenny (the new Member for Rye, who is pledged to the Ballot, and owes his success over Mr. Curteis, the late Whig Member, to that pledge), Mr. Cutlar Fergusson, Sir Henry Parnell, Mr. Hawes, Mr. Wallace, Mr. Pryme, Mr. Planta (the new Tory Member for Hastings, and formerly Under Secretary to the Treasury), Mr. Robert Ferguson of Raith, Mr. Milne, the O'Connor Don, Mr. Morgan O'Connell, Mr. Dundas, Colonel Henry White, Mr. Palmer, Mr. More O'Ferrali, Mr. Hutton (the new Member for the City of Dub lin), Lord Dalmeny, Mr. Crisp, Mr. Benjamin D'lsraeli, Mr. Alexander Ellis, Mr. Fleetwood, Mr. Hodgson, Mr. Henry Halt'ord, Sir John Davenport, Sir Charles Blunt, the Marquis of Chandos, Mr. George Darby, Mr. Thomas Ashwood, Col. Verner, Mr. Archibald Hastie, Mr. Walker, Mr. Bennet, and a great number of others. At one o'clock we counted upwards of fifty Members all taking the oaths at the table, at the same time. The business of the morning was confined to the swearing in of members. CHANCERY COURT.-(THIS DAV) PONTI3 V. MANSFIELD. The LORD CHANCELLOR gave judgment in this case, which was argued before his Lordship at considerable length some time since. The case came before the Court upon appeal from the decision of his Honour the Vice Chancellor, declaring that Miss Julia Barrington, the niece of Sir John Barrington, was entitled not only to the sum of 10,0001. given her by Sir John Barrington by deed, but also the sum of 10,000/. under the codicil of Sir John's will. The Lord Chancellor, after going at some length into the case, said that the evidence adduced showed clearly to his mind that it was not the inten tion of Sir John Barrington to give his niece a double portion. He was, therefore, of opinion that the Vice-Chancellor was wrong in declaring that the gifts both by the deed and codicil took effect. His Lordship would therefore reverse so much of the judgment of the Court below as declared that the gift of 10,000/. by the codicil took effect. Under the circumstances of the case, however, his Lordship would reverse that judgment without costs. MILLIGAN V. MITCHELL. The Loan CHANCELLOR also gave judgment in this case, in which the bill was filed by the plaintiff and Mrs. Amelia Sharp, the trustees of a Scotch chapel at Woolwich, praying that it might be declared by the Court that that chapel was devoted by the trust deed to the worship of God, according to the forms prescribed by the Church of Scotland. Disputes having arisen among the congregation, some asserting that the chapel was not intended exclusively for the Scotch form of worship, and others that it was, it became necessary to file the present bill to set that question at rest. His LORDSIIIP, after going shortly through the case, made the declaration asked by the plaintiffs, declaring that the chapel, by the trust deed, was devoted to the worship of God according to the form of the Scotch Church. NERSOMB U. CLARKSON. The arguments on this appeal motion were resumed and had not concluded when our Reporter left. ROLLS' COURT-(THIS DAY). In consequence of Mr. PEMBERTON 'and Mr. KINDERSLEY having Lad to attend the Court of Queen's Bench, for the purpose of taking the oaths as her Majesty's Counsel, the Master of the Rolls did not come into Court this morning till half-past ten o'clock. FORBES V. SHEPHERD •ND OTHERS. This case came before the Court upon an exception taken by one of the defendants to the Master's report, with reference to the finding of the Master as to the priority of certain persons claiming to be incumbrancers. The suit was instituted by Mr. Forbes, claiming to be entitled to a certain portion of a mortgage debt secured on a West India estate, and the bill was filed against the persons claiming the other portions of the incumbrance, and against the assignees of the mortgagor, who bad become bankrupt, praying the Court to direct a sale of the estate, and to order payment to the incumbrancer, according to their priorities, or for a forclosure of the mortgage against all the defendants. By the decree made on the hearing of the cause, it was referred to the Master to inquire what was due in respect of principal and interest, to whom the same was due, and to as certain the priorities. The Master made his report, stating the plaintiff, in respect of that portion of the mortgage to which he was entitled, was the fret incumbrancer, and the object of the present exception was to call in question that finding of the Master. Mr. KINDRESLEY and Mr. Kos appeared in support of the exception ; and Mr. PEMBERTON and another Learned Coun sel against it. The arguments were proceeding when we left. QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) REED V. HARRIS. Mr. CHILTON showed cause against a rule, why there should not be a verdict entered in this case for the defendant instead of the plaintiff, on the ground of mis-direction. The action, which was tried before Mr. Justice Coleridge, was brought by the plaintiff to revoke a will made by his father in favour of the defendant, his housekeeper, on the ground of his hav ing been under her influence ; and it was also alleged that he had repeatedly expressed an intention to revoke it ; that he had repeatedly asked for it for the purpose of destroying it ; and had on one occasion succeeded in throwing it on the fire, where it was partly burnt; but being snatched hastily up by the defendant, was rescued from total destruction. The Jury found that the will was revoked, and Mr. Chilton now argued in support of that verdict, on the part of the plaintiff, contend ing that under the circumstances the revocation was amply proved, and citing numerous cases in which an expressed in tention to revoke, even without a destruction of the will, par tial or complete, had been held to be a revocation in law. Lord DINAIAN thought those cases only went to this—that parole evidence might be sufficient to revoke a will ; but then all the facts must be laid before the jury, who are to draw their inference. Mr. CfmroN considered the jury in this case had distinctly affirmed the animus revocandi to be proved by the circum stances of the case. Lord DENMAN—No doubt a total destruction of the will would be a revocation ; but if the will be only partially de stroyed, there may be a question if he has not altered his in tention. Mr. ClTivrom—There is no evidence of that here. The jury had,the question animus revocandi expressly put to them, and they decided in the affirmative. Mr. Justice PATTESON—Were any other words used by the testator at the moment of throwing the will on the fire as to his intention ? Mr. CHILTON—No. Mr. Sergeant PATTESON—Because I don't know of any case at Common Law in which it has been held that a will has been resolved by act only, without any declaration of intention. Mr. CHILTON argued that in this case the intention was abundantly evidenced from the whole circumstances:of the case. Supposing the man to be dumb, the revocation must be by act alone, without any word de presenti. Mr. JAMES followed on the same side. The case was proceeding, when our Reporter left. In the course of the morning, a true bill having been found against Captain Goode, for using threats and seditious lan guage against her Majesty the Queen, and in the presence of her Majesty, it was returned into the hands of the Clerk of the Crown Office of this Court. The case will, consequently, come on for hearing in this Court during the present Term. COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banco.) STHOTIIER V. HUTCHINSON. The plaintiff in this case was nonsuited in a County Court of Yorkshire by direction of the Judge, before trial, under cir. curastances which did not this day transpire. The plaintiff tendered a bill of exceptions for false judg. ment, in the Superior Court, to which it was objected that there could not be a bill of exceptions in a case where a writ o' error would not lie. Mr. ARCHBOLD supported the bill at great length, but his arguments were too learned and technical to interest the public. The Court delivered judgment also at much length in favour of the bill and reversed the judgment of the Court below. BAIL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) Thos. Peregrine Courtenay, as Privy Councillor ; Chas.
