tot answer him when he asked them • Lar burdens that pressed upon lands. counted with the landed interest, xtent, and should feel very loth to iuggested this evening, a bill fur nished for the amounts received off the land. My Lord Beaumont had said that real property in England bore about 8,000,0001. taxes; and that he would set that 8,000,0001. in one scale and the corn-laws in the other, and they ought to be satisfied. But did not the Noble Lord know that houses, mining pro perty, and shares in companies, were as much real property as land ? So much for that portion of the subject. Then the argument that if corn from fo reign countries were to be admitted, it would have a very injurious tendency. Poland had been particu larly mentioned; and they were very fond of declar ing, that if Polish bread were admitted, their labourers would become like Poles ; to use the expression of a venerable labourer in this cause, Col. Thompson, if they admitted this Polish corn they would begin to speak the Polish tongue.—(Laughter.) This arose from the different circumstances of the two countries, and what was applicable to Poland could not be ap plied consistently to Great Britain. This great question now agitated is no pecuniary question. The landed proprietors are jealous of the advance of the mercantile community of this country ; they do not like their heels trod upon by a class whom they have been taught from their cradle to look down upon. They like to depress the mercantile community. Yet this cannot be from a pecuniary motive. From their love of power, their love of ascendancy, and their love of aristocratic privilege, they wish to keep down the middle classes of this country. Now, however, that this question and its merits are clearly developed in the sight of the country—now that free-trade is almost obtained, that it is so near their hands that they can reach its fruits—Englishmen ought to be branded as slaves if they do not throw off the yoke which a proud landed aristocracy have pressed upon their necks.— (Immense cheering.) When we consider the great ness and universality of the cause now advocated, it is evident that the mercantile community cannot throw off the yoke without their act being felt throughout the whole world. It will be felt not in this nation only —it will be felt through all the civilised nations of the - _ world. Ties which - link them in mutual union and interests, which bind them together, will be drawn closer, and more beneficially interwoven — commercial freedom will be " peace on earth and good will to men."—(Cheers.) The first step to this is the abolition of the British corn-laws. It is not true what has been asserted by our oppo nents, that we seek protection for certain branches of manufacture, and that we will not give it to agri culture. I deny the truth of this. I, who am a representative of Manchester—the men of Man 11,..xter—the men of the greatest manufacturing town in the kingdom, desire nosuch thing. The merchants in the Chamber of Commerce in Manchester, and the petitions, all of them that have issued out thence, have prayed for the total abolition of the corn-laws, and of all restrictions on free trade.—(Cheers.) There is a geet:eman, a Mr. Stuart, about to become the repre sentative of the constituency of Newark, the represen tative of the Duke of Newcastle—(Laughter) — wh o has said so much, namely, that those who demand free trade are seking protection for themselves. I must tell that gentleman that it is not to be tolerated, after W 4 have asserted so often that we seek the abolition of the corn-laws, free trade, and no protection—it is not to be tolerated that he should write letters, and give the authority of his name to such statements He is, I helieve, a Chancery barrister of some practice ; this,however, is rather sharp practice; and his brief has not centeieed proper instructions.—(Laughter.) Mr. Glachtone, too, is leaving Newark —(Laughter.) Whither he is going I do not know ; but if Sir Robert Peel make such a change in his policy as is rurnoure I at present, the probability is twat the League may have to find a seat for hirn.—(Laughter.) Mr. Gladstone, indeed, is the best man among them. As for Sir Robert Peel, he has been taught by a proper preceptor—he has learned from experience ;in the Cabinet he is the best supporter of our cause. But, after all, it signifies little what Cabinet Council. may ehe : it is you, you only, with the aid of the people of thi s ee entry, that must carry this question • but you will not sin:peed if you show the slightest flaggingi in your exertions t o 'rain the point. If it were supposed that you had allowed ;ourselves to be lulled into a ' false security of success, the League would have for many years to continue in the sieuw , 7le, But I know you must triumph— (Cheers) —I kno:: the con test is between Justice and oppression—ee!ween right and guilty privilege—and you must prevalz. T believe you will succeed in the present year also, and this hope I draw from the condition of the two parties. What is it ? On the side of the one party, on the side of protection, there is division ; on our side there is unity; on our side there is confidence — on theirs, suspicion ; here, reason—there, passion ; here we have the use of experience and philosophy— there they are supported by none but those who have maintained feudal tyranny, and every abuse on he statute-bock of the kingdom. Considering both pe,.!ies in the contest, comparing their condition, there was everything to hope, and everything to stir energy and encourage perseverance till a triumph has been achieve€l.—The Hon. Gentleman sat down amid great and prolonged cheering. Mr. R. R. Mooaz then came forward, and said he would rather the chairman had allowed the meeting to break up after the closing of Mr. Glbson's address, for nothing more could be added to what had been said. If anything was necessary in addition, it was to urge them to continue their activity in increasing the number of free trade votes in Middlesex, „East Surrey, and Hertfordshire. T‘.liddlesex was won-1,700 free trade votes had been gained in that county—but East Surrey and Hertford shire must be won. He recollected, in urging this upon them, that they had been charged by a Noble Duke with using unconstitutional means to gain their end. He had the best ground for denying that, and for retorting it upon the author and his party. The unconstitutional means which the nation had to com plain of, was the interference of the House of Peers with the representatives of the nation. It is not the League, but the other party that boasted of the power they had in returning a representative, and the num ber of farmers they could drive up to the poll.— (Hear, hear.) The Earl of Salisbury boasts his sway over Hertfordshire, the Duke of Richmond over Chjeliester and Sussex, Londonderry over Durham city and south Durham county. The Duke of Marl borough had had three representatives for Woodstock in two years, and two of them his own sons ; Newark was in the power of the Duke of Newcastle, where the enajority of the voters are free traders ; the Duke of Buckingham for Buckingham, Winchester, and Aylesbury ; the Marquis of Exeter for Stamford ; Lord Sandwich for Huntingdon.; Lord Egremont for Midhuret ; the Earl of Jlithurst for Cirencester, and various other names that may be found in The Sun of the sth January. It is this kind of tampering with the election of the people's representatives that must be put a stop to. The Duke of Richmond said the other day that the gentlemen of the Anti-Corn-law League threatened, and were determined to carry the elections by means of fabricated votes, and by no other means. Mr. Moore believed it was the Corn-law League which proposed such a course for themselves —that league in which is the Duke of Norfolk, and the Duke of Buckingham—meeting at 17, New Bond-street. Their only hope was by means of fabricated votes. They made uncon stitutional use of the register of this country. The agents of the Anti-Corn-law League had gone and taken the register, and purged it of the fabricated votes put on it in favour of protection. One man in Highgate claimed a 405. freehold. Where was it ? In the churchyard.—(Laughter.) Who was the tenant there that paid rent ? He was struck off. Nor had they restricted their doings with the regis tration to this; they Lad taken care to have many recorded of the right kind, and in the legal way, to all of which the other party had opportunity of objecting. Yet, though that party had a right to expenses had they been successful against them, from all those recorded in Middlesex they had got but 21. expenses. lle (Mr. Moore) hoped many would continue to apply at 67, Fleet- street, with a view to uglification as freehold voters. For 561. they could av e a 403. freehold, and thereby re ceive four per cent. for * their money, he ides the opportunity they had of benefiting the c ountry.

The Lord Chancellor beard causes and lunatic peti tious t4--dap. NEWENELLM V. PEMBERTON. The arguments in this case were conclude to-day and His LORDSHIP gave judgment, dismissing the appe a with COWL Di THE MATTER OF TEE COUNTESS OF STAIR, A LUNATIC. The Court then proceeded to hear this case, which came before the Court upon the petition of the Countess, praying that the commission of lunacy which had been granted against her in 1827, under which she was found a lunatic from 1820, might be superseded, on the ground that she had recovered from the malady with which she had been afflicted. The petition was supported by se. ♦eral affidavits, among which were those of Dr. Bright and Dr. Sutherland. His LORDSHIP, at the conclusion of the reading of the affidavits, said he would see the medical gentleman and the lady herself, and in the interim the petition must stand over. ROLLS' COURT, Jan. 14. Lord Langdale sat at half-past ten o'clock this day, for the purpose of hearing the remaining petitions. COOPER V. BATTERSBY. This was an application, on the part of the defendant, to dissolve an injunction to restrain him from disposing of ten shares, held by both parties, in the Regent's Canal Company. Lord LANGDALE delivered judgment and reviewed the whole facts of the case. He said he was of opinion that the injunction should be dissolved. The plaintiff had purchased shares in the Regent's Canal Company, for which he was unable to pay, and applied to the defendant to advance him the money. This the defendant did on the terms that if any profit should arise the plaintiff was to receive one-third of the same, and he was to receive the other two-thirds. There was also to be a corre sponding division of the loss should such take place, and the defendant was to be at liberty to sell whenever he thought fit to do so, on the condition that he ga ve the plaintiff notice of the same. In fact , th e plaintiff was in precisely the position of one who had nothing to invest himself, but gave another person who had money intimation of a desirable speculation. It was what was called a trust, and a more eq uitable one, i n his opinion, had scarcely ever been executed. It was one of those common transactions which were taking place daily. The shares were held by the defendant, and his name was entered in the books of the company, kept for that purpose. There was no doubt that it appeared to both parties a profitable speculation. The shares were pur chased at 13/. 15s. per share, and they shortly afterwards fell to 9/. 10s. a share. Here, the defendant finding a great probability of a considerable loss, applied continu ally to the plaintiff to take those shares off his hands. However, nothing was done till the May of 1845 ; then defendant told plaintiff that he (defendant) should sell the shares, and after that notice had been given, in a few days he did sell them to Mr. Fay, his brother-in-law. Now he was not of opinion that there might not be the most equitable transactions between relations. After the sale had been made the market was so far improved that the share,, which could not be disposed of at 91. 10s. per share, sold at the price which was originally given for them. The transfer was not registered on the books, so that though Mr. Fay was the holder of the shares the name of Mr. Battersby was still after the shares in the registry book. After that transaction whatever raised the price, these shares rose to 381. per share. The defendant here acted for Mr. Fay, and sold five of the shares at a very great profit. The plaintiff, conceiving that he was en titled to a share of the profits, very naturally made inquiries, which not affording perfect satisfaction, he in spected the books and finding that ten of the shares were still standing in the name of the defendant, contended that the defendant was still the holder of that number of shares, and that he was entitled to a share in the profits that would accrue from the sale of the shares. The only evidence adduced before him was contained in the plead ings of the plaintiff and the answer of the defendant. There might have been more satisfactory evidence brought f rward, but the evidence on the part of the dgendant so greatly preponderated, that he was fully of opinion that the injunction should be dissolved. VIOE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, Jan. 14. His Honour the Vice-Chancellor of England took pleas and demurrers to-day. JONES v. MORGAN AND OTHERS—THE SOCIALISTS. This case came before the Court upon the demurrer of a lady, named Rathbone, put in to a Bill filed by several shareholders of the Orbistou Company, on the ground that such shareholders had contributed more than was justly due to them, and to recover the excess. The grounds of the demurrers were want of equity. Our readers will recollect that the case came before the Court during the last term, upon the demurrer of a person named Cooper, and upon that occasion the Court ordered the demurrer to be overruled. The case now came before the Court upon the demurrer of another p:tv, and there are also several other demurrers set down for hearing. The facts appeared to be these:—ln the year 1825 Q number of persons joined together, for the purpose of forming a:soeialist or communist society, under the superintendence of . 1 .4,..r. Robert Owen, the pro fessed object of which was to promote the happiness of mankind by abating the existing evils to which flesh is heir. The company was to consist of shareholders, the shares being fixed at 250/. (though after the formation of the company they were reduced to 2001. each), and it being further agreed that for the first year no shareholder should be allowed to hold more than ten shares, but that after the lapse of one year from the formation of the society, such stock as should then be unappropriated might be disposed of among the members of the com pany. The capital was not to exceed 50,000/. The company eventually purchased 280 acres of land from General Hamilton, at Orbistoif, in Scotland, as the site of the proposed establishment, for which they consented to pay 19,9951. This money was borrowed in three several sums of 12,0001. from the Union Scotch Assu rance Company, 3,0001. from a Mr. Ainslie, and the re mainder from another quart , r. The articles of agree ment were then drawn up, providing for the internal regulations of the society. The right of voting was to be vested in the shareholders proportionably to the amount of their respective shares. The necessary build ings were to be erected, and the necessary utensils supplied, and the company were to be empowered to borrow money upon the security of the joint property, under certain specified restrictions. Several trustees were named, the first being a Mr. Combe, to whom the estate was accordingly conveyed. The following are some of the general articles agreed on:—" Whereas the assertion of Robert Owen, who has had much experience in the education of children, that principles as certain as the science of mathematics may be applied to the forming any general character, and that by the influ ence of other circumstances not a few individuals only, but the population of the whole world, may in a few years be rendered a very far superior race of beings to any now on the face of ti - e earth, or who have ever ex ist: d, an assertion which implies that at least nine tenths of the crime and misery which exist in the world have been the necessary consequence of errors in the present system of instruction, and not of imperfection implanted iu our nature by the Creator, and that it is quite practicable to form the minds of all children that are born so that at the age of twelve years their habits and ideas shall be far superior to those of the individuals termed learned men. . • • • And that under a proper direction of manual labour Great Britain and its dependencies may be made to support an incalculable increase of population." The articles then prescribed rules for the manageduent of the affairs of the Company. The 21st article then went on to provide for a dissolution of the Society, if it should be found necessary :—" That if, unhappily, experience should demonstrate to the satisfaction of the majority of Proprietors that the new system introduced and re commended by R. Owen has a tendency to produce, in the aggregate, as much ignorance in the midst of knowledge, as much poverty in the midst of exces sive wealth, as much il liberalit y and hypocrisy, as much overbearing and cruelty, and fawing and se verity, as much ignorant conce it, as much dissi pation and debauchery, as much filthiness and brutality, as much avarice and unfeeling selfishness, as much fraud and dishonesty, as much discord and violence, as have invariably attended the existing system in all ages, then shall the property be let to indi viduals acting under the old system, or sold to defray the expenses of the institution." In 1825 the society entered upon the estate, and the lands were divided among the tenants. Among the original shareholders was the present demurring defendant, Cooper, who took one share, for which he paid 201. as an instalment, that he had borrowed from Mr. Hamilton, on the under standing that unless the loan were repaid by Cooper within two years, the property should belong to Mr. Hamilton. At the several meetings that sub equently wok place Cooper did not attend, but deputed the trustee, Mr, Combe, to act for him, as he was permitted to do by the original agreement. In 1827 it was ascertained that the speculation did not answer, as the company was proved to be involved in debt to a considerable amount, so as to make it necessary that the sale of the estate the property ebould be sold and the establishment broken up. Accordinglr in I§2o, was effected, and 15,000 , the purecase-money, subject to certain deductions, trans ferred to t h e Scotch Assur &ace Company as a repaypept of their loan. A con siderable balance of debts to other parties, however, still remained due, for which the shareholders became liable. Several suits were prepared in the Scotch courts, during which the estates of the shareholders were de clared liable, and several acco rdin g l y had paid much beyond what was due proportionately on the amount of thisir shares. Of the original shareholders many were now dead, resany out of the jurisdiction of the Court; and many in hopelessly insolvent circumstances. lie, Bolt appeared in suppe..4 pf the demurrer.

LORD SENSI N QT OIS, Their Lordships this morning gave judgment in this ,cause, which arose on the question, whether a warrant "toraeiy, executed by L or d Kensington, hart been proper:y oxceuted within the meaning of the statute 1 and 2 Victoria, chap, 80, Beet, 9, The A ct re q uired that the attorney nanied should be present, and enting at the execution of the document, or else the warrant would be illegal. The case had been fully argued at former sitting, and two objections urged to the l eg ality of the warrant. The first objection being, that there was no proper subscription of thaw name of the attesting witness, the name ap pearing in the middle of the attestation, and not at the end of it ; and, second, that it did not appear he had subscribed it as the attorney in the warrant. A great number of authorities in support of the objections were then produced, which the Lord Chief Justice here recapitulated and reviewed. Having done so, he said the Court was of opinion, that the precise place whereon the name was written was not material to the case, providing the attestation contained an assertion of all that had been done by witness, required by the statute. Regarding the other objection, the Court considered the Act had been substantially complied with, as it appeared the name of the attorney had been inscribed on the document, in his own handwriting ; and therefore that the rule should be discharged. And as it did not ap pear there was any justice in the application of the de fendant, the Court thought it should be discharged with costs.—Rule, with costs, discharged accordingly, CRIM. CON.—CLARKE V. DUNSFORD. Sir THOMAS WILDE moved for a rule to set aside a verdict for the plaintiff, given in last term, for an action brought against the defendant for criminal conversation with the wife of the former, and to enter a new suit ; or if not, to set aside the verdict, and grant a new trial. The ground on which he made the applica tion was, that the plaint.ff had undertaken to give ma terial evidence against the defendant in the county of Middlesex, but which did not appear to have been the case. Evidence had been given to prove that the offence alleged had been committed in two places ; at the house of the plaintiff, and at a lodging-house in Bath ; and the general nature of the evidence was to the following effect, as far as the Bath part of the case was concerned, which it was alone necessary to refer to now. It was proved that Mr. Dunsford had called at a house in Bath under the name of Lyde, requesting lodgings. He saw Miss Withers, the sister of Mrs. Needs, the housekeeper, who was absent. He stated that he had just been privately married and was going to bring his wife to Bath for a short time, so that he wanted quiet lodgings. Miss Withers said she could not give any answer herself, but he was requested to call again. In a day or two a letter came addressed from Swindon, in which he gave his name as Lyde, and directed a note about the lodgings to be addressed to him at the Bri tish and Fcreign Hotel, George-street, Hanover square, London. When Mrs. Needscame home a letter was sent to the above address accepting the offer about the lodgings, and he arrived in a few days and took pos session. He continued several days and slept there, though the lady, who called nearly every morning and stayed for several hours, did not. Now the material question raised by the present application was, whether that letter was in any respect either material to the establishment of the offence to be proved, or the assessment of damages. Me thought decidedly not. Strike the letter out, and the case would be as complete as it was now. Other letters, addressed in the name of Lyde, had been identified as the de fendant's. The servants at the house in Bath, as well as Miss Withers and Mrs. Weeks, had identified him ai well as the lady, and both had been proved respectively to be Mr. Dunsford and Mrs. Clarke. Nothing, there fore, could be added by the letter, or abstracted by its withdrawal. On these grounds be submitted that the plaintiff had not succeeded in making use of this letter of Mrs. Needs, addressed to him, and supposed to be received at the British and Foreign Hotel, and in fac the only evidence relating to Middlesex material to the case. For these reasons he considered the application should be granted. After a long argument, of which the foregoing is the substance, their Lordships deferred their answer till to morrow. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Jan. 14. (Sittings in Banco.) LAMERTE V. DEATH. This was an action of assumpsit brought to recover 4501. money paid to the defendant, who was a stock-broker, in respect of certain shares in the Kentish Coast Railway, the scrip certificates for which subsequently turned out to be fictitious. The plaintiff purchased the shares of the de fendant supposing the scheme to be a bona fide one, but after the purchase he learned that the scheme had been aban doned by the original promoters, and the scrip which he had purchased from the defendant was valueless, inas much as it was issued by the attorney and secretary of the Company, without the knowledge or consent of the Managing Committee, who altogether repudiated it. The plaintiff therefore brought the present action to recover back the money he had paid for the scrip, alleging that the defendant had not delivered to him that which he bargained to sell, and the jury on the trial at the recent sittings in London, before the Lord Chief Baron, found a verdict for the plaintiff for the full amount claimed. Mr. MARTIN now moved for a rule nisi to show cause why the the verdict should not be set aside, and a new trial had on the ground of misdirection. ne Learned Chief Baron, the Learned Counsel said, left it for the jury to say whether the scrip delivered by the defendant was genuine or not, and told them that if they thought it was not, it was their duty to find for the plaintiff. Now, he contended that a stockbroker did not guarantee the genuine ness of the document he sold ; he only took upod him self the responsibility of saying that the names at tached to the document were the true signatures of those persons whose signatures they purported to be, and the buyer haying the same means and facilities for testing the genuineness of the scrip as the seller. he humbly submitted that his Lordship's direction to the jury was erroneous, and that the plaintiff had no right to recover. The LORD CIIIEF BARON—Take a rule to show cause. THORNEY V. lIAYNF.S. This was an action of debt, brought to recover back the deposit paid on the sale of a public-house situated on the outskirts of the town. The cause was tried at the last sit tings in Middlesex, when it was found that a " puffer" had been illegally employed by the owner of the property to bid, in order to increase the amount of the biddings, and by the direction of his Lordship a verdict was taken for the plaintiff, leave being given to the defendant to move to enter a nonsuit. Mr. PAYNE now moved accordingly, and urged in support of his motion that it was usual and customary to employ persons to bid at sales by auction, to prevent the property being knocked down at a price below its value. Rule granted. SECONDARIE'S COURT, Jan. 14. (Before Mr. Secondary PorrElt). HART V. TOMMES. ANDOVER PlES.—This was an action br2ught to recover the sum of 151. 10s., the balance of an accetint for goods sold and delivered to defendant. The plaintiff stated the case. The plaintiff is a baker, &c., at Hackney, and the defendant is the manufacturer of the ce lebrated " Andover" pies, made by the defendant at the same place. The defendant bad pleaded that he was not indebted, but on what ground could not well be imagined; it certainly was not from the inferiority of the article supplied, for the defendant's pies were highly extolled, and to be found in most of the ale shops in town, and there was no fear of a comparison with the Andover Union Pies.—(Laughter.) The original demand was 2001. 2s. 7d., but all but 151. had been paid. A witness was called, who proved the delivery of the flour at the rate of 9d. a quartern, under an agreement that for that price plaintiff should bake all the pies : no attempt was now made to disprove the agreement, or the performance of the contract on the part of plaintiff. The jury, therefore, gave a verdict for the amount. The other cases were struck out. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-ROUSE. A young fellow, named_" occasionally" William Poston, 1 who has been some time one of the leaders of the Westminster gang ot sad-money titterers, was brought up fur final exa minatien upon the charge of having exhibited two of his manseuires in the shop of Mr. Baker, lid, Cheapside, tobac conist :'Le cool self-possession of the prisoner caused some sur prise in tse justice-room, tbr he not only questioned the right of the Lord Mayor to send him for trial, but he denied the application of the law, as quoted by Mr. Goodman, to his par , ieuntr case.

I gave him half-a-sovereign in change. Hs then c-sked me to change it, as he thought it was light. I accordingly took from him what I then believed to be the coin I Loci just given him, and gave him another half so verein. He then requested me to give him silver in stead of the half-sovereign I had just handed to him ; but upon taking up the half-sovereign, I perceived that it %MI J. counterfeit, and not the second one which I had just gioen to him. I laid down the counterfeit piece, and gong round, I shut the door, and demanded from the prisoner the good half-sovereign which I had that mo ment gi7an to him, when he said,—" Here it is ; here is the good hel-sovereign which you gave ine ;" and I took it from him. When I looked for the counterfeit which he had last given me, it was gone from the counter, and could not be found. I then determined to examine the first half sovereiga which I had taken from him, in the belief that I bed given it to him in the first instance in change, and I discovered it to be the counterfeit which I now pro dupe and which I swear I received from him on his first application to have the one I had given him changed. Edward Roberts (City policeman, 47) stated that he had searched the prisoner upon apprehending him, but found upon his person nothing but three cheroots. The Loma Mayon asked whether it was not the intention of the Mint to prosecute in this case ? The policeman said he rather expected that the solicitor to the Mint would be in attendance, but he supposed that gentleman's avocas tions detained him in other Courts. The honn MAYOR—WeII, I shall commit the prisoner for triaL Do you wish to say anything, prisoner ? The pri soner—Yes, my Lord.

Amongst the rumours afhat one that Baron Lefroy is to 13-i transferred to the Court, and that Mr. Blacliburrie, the present Ma,ter of the Rolls, is to get the Chief Justiceship of the Q,;te , n's Bench. This would cause a vacancy amongst the Barons of the Exchequer, which it is not at all likely the present Attorney-General would accept. As tern. begins to-morrow, we shall probably have an official an nouncement of the appointments. THE BISHOP OF CASHEL AND WATERFORD Dr. Daly, Lord Bishop of Cashel and Waterford, hay addressed the followirg letter to the Widefo , d Clvfinicle His Lordship contradicts the statement of Colonel J,,nta , , sayirg that he had presented a gift of 80,000/. to hie nephew, and announces the interesting fact that he will soon cease to be a bachelor :--- "TO THE EDITOR OP THE WATERFORD CHRONICLE " The Bilton Hotel, Dublin, 9th January, 1846. "Sir,—My attention has just been directed to a para graph copied by most of the Dublin journals from your paper, stating, that on the occasion of the marriage of the Honourable Miss A'Court, daughter of the Lord- Lieutenant, with the llon. Mr. Daly, son of Lord Dun candle, the Bishop of Cashel, unc'e of the bridegroom, bestowed upon his nephew the splendid gift of 80,0001.' " Now, Sir, I beg you will take the earliest oppor tunity to disabuse the public mind of such an error. I bestowed no such sum of money, or any pecuniary gift whatever, upon my nephew. " I am by no means so rich as to have so much funded property at my disposal, and as I don't always intend to remain a bachelor bishop' (the polite phrase applied to me by the Dublin Pi/ot, commenting on your mis-state ment), I should nut deem it prudent to be so liberal to my kinsmen as you would fain make the publi:t believe. " I have to apologise for this intrusion of my private affairs an I family arrangements, which is quite involun tary on my part, and have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient humble servant, "ROBERT CASHEL." ANTI-CORN-LAW MEETING IN DROGHEDA. The Drogheda Argus contains the following:—" The inhabitants of Drogheda are, about to give a most im portant demonstration; of their opinions relative to the unnatural tax upon food. A requisition, bearing the signature of his Grace the Catholic Primate of Ireland, all the Catholic clergy of the parish, nearly all the mem bers of the corporation, besides merchants, traders, and mechanics of the town, has been presented to Patrick Boylan, Esq., our mayor, praying him to convene a public meeting, on the earliest day possible, for the pur pose of petitioning Parliament for the total and imme diate repeal of the corn-laws. We believe every member of the corporation would have signed the requisition if there had been time to call on the few whose names are not appended, before the document was presented to the mayor. His worship has fixed on Monday, the 19th instant, as the day upon which the meeting is to be held." AGRARIAN CRIME IN LIMERICK AND CLARE. The Limerick Chronicle cf Saturday contains the fol lowing. That Tory journal manifestly endeavours to make the worst of the disturbances : " It is melancholy to contemplate the lawless disorga nised state of the rural districts, where no respectable family is safe from aggression and outrage. The indu.;- trious farmer, with a patch of five or ten acres, is equally obnoxious with the country gentleman who may hold one hundred or more of land, and the laborious peaceful cotter, who contrives to subsist his poor family on an acre of potato garden, is not safe from intimidation and violence, unless he connive at, or personally aid the league of disaffected ruffians who now traverse the country night and day, from Tipperary to Li merick and Clare, in search of their victims. The first and great object of these miscreants is to possess themselves of fire-arms at any hazard, and wherever they can, without regard to time, place, or person. This alarming fact is too notorious for doubt or denial. We find it obviously manifest in every case. Few country gentlemen's houses within some miles of Limerick are safe from attack, unless locked and barricadoed immediately at night-fall, and the families are then shut up, like lonely prisoners, in their silent mansion until the hour of day-break, when the barriers are cautiously withdrawn. One highly respect able man of rank, a grand juror and magistrate in our vicinity, whose character as a landlord is far above re proach, left his country seat this week to reside in the metropolis, sooner than be exposed to such harassing annoyance of his domestic circle, however necessary the precautions against midnight marauders and armed as- sassins. " Upwards of 500 fellows assembled yesterday (Friday) morning on Sir Capell Molyneux's land 4, Knocksentry, to prevent the service of ejectments. They fired shots to intimidate the bailiff and his assistants. This great multitude kept watch-fires lighting on the ground all night, and discharging several shots, to apprise the civil authorities of their ability and determination to resist any legal process on this property. " This afternoon 200 men of the 24th Regiment left this garrison to dislodge the insurgents from their en campment. They were accompanied by a troop of the 13th Light Dragoons. " Last night the house of James Walsh, of Bird-Lill, was entered by an armed party, who, after firing a shot, threatened him with death if he distrained for the rent due to his employer, Mr. Atkins. " Yesterday, as Mr. James Shea, bailiff to the Rev. Thomas Westropp, Terry Mahony, and other assistants, were serving ejectments on the bog of Gardenhill, near Castleccsnnell, they were encountered by a large armed party, and forced to desist. Several of the bailiffs were beat, and three or four shots fired at them. " On Thursday night the house of George Scott, o Killonan, and Richard Scott, of Tooreen, were forcibly entered by a party of nine persons, who took a double barrelled gun from ' 'ichard, and a single one frian George. Constable Pardy and some of his party were on duty at quarter sessions in this city when the out rage took place, within a short distance of the police barracks. " Seven panes of plate glass, in the windows of Glen stall Castle, the seat of Matthew Barrington, Esq., were maliciously destroyed by stones on Tuesday night. " Wednesday night, at twelve o'clock, the house of a farmer named Hourigan, at Annah, near Barrington's bridge, were fired into, and the assailants swore him not to pay rent. They also searched for fire-arms. " G. D. Putland, Esq., has been served with notice that his life will not be spared one month, should be dare build upon or improve land near Garrykennedy, recently taken by him. " Six men, with faces blackened and armed, passed Wood-hill, at ten o'clock on Thursday morning. " Nine men armed traversed the lands and neighbour hood of Clenagh, county of Clare, on Friday, in female apparal, and swore several farmers and cotters not to pay rent to Mrs. O'Grady. The lawless outrage was perpe• trated in the open (lay. " A respectable farmer of the name of Murphy, re siding at Itathlooba, county Clare, in the vicinity of the scene of the barbarous murder of the late Arthur Gloster, Esq., was attacked on Thursday night by an arme,l band of ruffians, who beat him most desperately, inflicting at least a score wounds on his head. This man had been guilty of' the mortal offence of takiee. land. "The hills of the neighbourhood ' of Six-mile-bridge were lighted up with a general blase on Wednesday, for the dismissal of some ejectment cases brought by a landed proprietor of Clare at quarter sessions. "For the last ten days Thurles gaol has been filling with offenders ; an extensive gang of desperadoes, who for years have been committing dreadful outrages, ex tending their operations to within a mile of Nenagh, have at length been discovered, and nearly all at-rested, through the vigilance and energy of the heads of the Thurles police. Two men, named Maher and Michael Mears (leaders), when being convey ed to Nenagh gaol on Tuesday last, on charges of murder and other crimes, were followed nearly the entire way by crowds of the peasantry, shouting and cheering them. At 80. riso leigh the car oa which the prisoners sat broke down when nearly two tkousand people pressed on the escort, sommanded by Mr. M‘Malion, S. I. The police, how ever, having been previously ordered to prime and load, kept the mob off with fixed bayonets, while the officer promptly moved the prisoners to a car in front, and the escort sioved on without further molestation, but still followed nearly all the way." DEATH OF SIR JOSEPH BARRINGTON, BART. LIMERICK, JAN. 10.—We are concerned to announce the death of one of our oldest resident citizens, Sir Joseph Barrington, who departed this life, at his house in Barrington-street, this morning, in the 82d year of his age. The name of this respected old gentleman will long be associated with the establishment of Barring ton's Hospital and City Infirmary, which asylum of thee founded, benefit of the and present i his sons and future generations. Matthew Barrington , Esq. , Crown p fo o r orh assisted mercy fo r t o the endow, sick solicitor of Munster, eldest son of the deceased, and now Sir Matthew Barrington, Bart., succeeds to that title, originally conferred upon his venerated parent by his late Majesty William IV. DUBLIN, JAN. 12.—The weekly meeting of the Repea Association, held to-day, was tolerably well attended. Mr. O'Connell, accompanied by his son, Mr. John O'Connell, entered the hall at ten o'clock, and moved Dr. Nagle to the chair. Mr. O'CONNELL handed in 21. from Charles Totten ham, Esq., a Protestant gentleman, who had resigned his office as Justice of the Peace for Wexford, on form ing the resolution of becoming a member of the Repeal Association. Some money having been handed in, Mr. 0 CONNELL rose, and said he desired to take the sense of the - Association upon the propriety of as many of the Irish Members of Parliament as was pos , ible meeting in that hall upon that day week. The hour which he was disposed to fix was eleven o'clock in the morning, so that they would be able to finish their particular business before the time came for the usual meeting of the Association. He thought that they had arrived at a crisis when it was manifestly necessary to consult together, discreetly, and delibe rately, to ascertain what course would be the fittest to adopt. There were many circumstances which distin guished the present period from almost every other period of Irish agitation. There was more of apparent apathy in the publi' mind. It was not the real disposi Lion and characteristic of the Irish mind, but was th e re sult of expectatio n for "coming events, which cast their shadows bt•for e them." His own ()pinion was, that E n i an d would necessarily want the services of d and, wanting her people. she should see k to culti vate their wishes, and gratify their patriotic aspirations. To obtain the services of the people, the Government should conciliate them , and the only way to conciliate would be , to grant a repe a l of the un loomingion. lie wished to refer to some ev en t s which were upon the political horiaon. The Hon. Gentleman then referred to the centemplated formation had repeated of an Irish party.—(Year.) The D u bli n E ven i ng 1 over anti over again and he hailed the proposal made by that paper with the utmost gratitude, and of confidence. He could nut sPo have in deluding. great deal .nut object it could ....ft tor a week or a fortnight ; but coma see that a great object would be accomplished by unitiog men of every class and creed. lie therefore nailed with the greatest alacrity the proposition, and he aughed to scorn the idea expressed by the Whig and 'Cory papers of this country and England, that this corn frinatien was impracticable.—(Hear.) lie was ready to Accede to the reasoning of the Mail, and c-,-operate in its exertions to form an Irish party. They might have one •a• two meetings before they left for London,and then have 1 meeting in London to consolidate their efforts. The ' [lon. Gentleman then reiterated his intention to join heart and hand to work out the proposal. He was not called upon to give up the repeal agitation—if he were, he would laugh to score the man who would make such s prop )sition. He never would desist until he had a Parliament in Coliegri-gretn.—(Chters.) The Hon. Gentleman then took a review of the various poitteal questions which he would demand from the British Le- He promised to support the Government in passing the corn-laws ; but he considered that Coneii ation Hall would lac th fittest place i'i which the Irish Members should be found, after the passing of that mea sure, because from the English Government he expectA very little advantage.--(Cheers.) At three o'clock the repeal rent was announced to be 1641. 13 , i. 2d. SUICIDE OF CAPTAIN BAKER, STH FUSILIERS. ENNISKILLEN, JAN. 9.—1 hast-n by the first post to an nounce the death of H. P. Biker, Esq., a captain of the sth Fusiliers, stationed in this town. The fatal occurrence took place in his room in the barracks. Between six or set en o'clock last night he sent his servant up the town for some medicine, ani on his return up stairs he heard the report of his musket. On entering he found his unhappy master lying on the floor, and the top of his &kull blown off, he having placed the firelook under his chin, and pulled the trigger with his toes. The reports are various as to the cause that led to this calamity , . The most prevalent is, that the deceased made application to his commanding officer to restore a colour-sergeant who was " reduced" yesterday. The Colenel gave him some uncourteous reply, and would not. The deceased was observed to be greatly agitated during the evening. The Coroner's inquest is going on in the barrack at present (three o'clock). The deceased was gsaetted to a iompany, by purchase, on the 30th of December. Cap tain Baker was a native of England. THE LAW CHANGES. The Evening Mail of this evening states it was not until Saturday that the Chief Justice's formal resignation reached the hands of the Government. On that day an intimation was made to the Master of the Rolls, placing the office of Chief Justice in his hands, with an earnest desire expressed by the Government that he should accept it. The Right Hon. Gentleman took until this clay to decide, and in the course of the afteritoon a noti fication was made to the proper authorities, signifying his compliance. The Right Hon. Francis Blackburne is now Lord Chief Justice, end is to be succeeded as Master of the Rolls, by the Right Hon. T. B. C. Smith. Nothing definitive has yet been done with respect to the changes rendered necessary by Mr. Smith's promotion. RAILWAY Sil Alt.E MARKETS. MANCHESTER, JAN. 13.

DIABOLICAL ATTEMPT TO BURN FOUR HOUSES. On Tuesday night, shortly after nine, the immediate vicinity of Camden•town was thrown into a state of feverish excitement by the simultaneous outbreak of no fewer than four separate fires, which there is every ground to conclude were the work of some vile incen diary. From inquiries instituted on the spot, our reporter learned that at the time previously stated, three police constables of the S division were going their rounds past Hawk) Fields, Camden -town, when one of them (No. 968) had his attention suddenly directed towards the western corner house of a pile of four newly erected habitations, situate in the fields, by perceiving an un usual light therein. At first the officer imagined that the light was caused by some of the workmen drying the building, but the same increasing in strength, he hastened across the fields to examine the place, when he found im mense bodies of smoke pouring forth from the roof and windows, which at once satisfied him that the building was on fire. Without delay alarm was raised in the usual way, and the officer being quickly joined by other con stables, an attempt was at once made to extinguish the flames by pouring buckets of water upon them. Whilst tile constables, however, were passing the three other houses, they discovered, to their no small amaze ment, that the other corner house was also on fire at the back ; and in the course of a few seconds afterwards they found out that the remaining two houses were like wise in flames. A messenger was, therefore, dispatched in a cab to the several stations of fire-brigade, and also to the West of England office, with intelligence of the circumstance. In the mean time the police exerted them selves most manfully in endeavouring to stop the further ravages of the flames. Notwithstanding, however, the Are travelled with such fury as to speedily penetrate the roof of the house in which the fire was first ob served. Nothing daunted, they continued to labour without any intermission until Mr. Staples, the foie man 01 the London Brigade, arrived, with several engines of the establishment ; and to their exertions may be attributed the saving of a deal of property. The West of England engine, from the Waterloo road, with the Company's firemen and Mr. Con norton, were taken to the scene with all possible expe dition. The firemen, upon arriving, had to encounter great difficulties to get an engine near the burning houses. They having plenty of fire-buckets at hand, a line was formed by the men, and, by passing the water from one another, a vast stream was discharged at the buildings, which had the desired effect of getting the flames extinguished ; that, however, was not accom plished until the fire had travelled throughout the first named house, and severely burnt the remaining three, more especially the staircases and parlour floorings. From the fact of the four houses being on fire at the same time, not the least doubt remains that the fire was wilfully caused, but by whom is at present wrapped in mystery. The firemen, upon examining the premises after the fire was got out, found that the flames could not by any possibility have travelled from one house to the other without the aid of some one. They also found that the fire had commenced in every place about the staircase. The houses are said to be the property of Mr. Marshall, of llentwick-place, and it is atpresent unknown whether or not they are insured. The King, it is said, intends, immediately after the Easter holidays, to place the Count de P ar i s at the College Rollin, which has beenfixed upon as b e i ng t h e property o f the city.— Galegnant. FIGHT BETWEEN BAENAS H AND H. WALICER.—On Tuesday the mill between these two men came on; in a field near Twyford, Turner and you ng S am b o (W e l s h) d o i ng th e attentive to Barnash, while the youthful Harry was esquirid by Wm. Jones and Fred. Illason. The disparity of the Coal batant9, as they threw themselves into attitude, was obvious. Walker (his weight 9st. 21bs.) looked boyish, white skinned, and somewhat fleshy. The " Pride of West minster," as w e h ave since heard him designated, , was compact, roun d-b one d , b rown , an d hardy. The first round was tedious. The youngster was clever, and Barnash, taught by defeat, cautious. It occupied ten minutes, and ended with little or no ad vantage, except gi v ing the men a little better idea of each others style of offence and defence. From this to the seventh round the youngster fought well, and stopped neatly ; yet thus early it required no gift of second-sight to pred ic t the conclusion. Barnash hit hardest, if not oftene s t, an d closed almost every round by throwing his man. About the ninth round Walker came down on the point of his shoulder, that part also striking the stake. Thenceforth, in addition to inferiority of physical strength, he experi enced the further drawback o f the partial disablem en t o f one of his weapons of offence, for in the after-rounds his right only came into use in stopping. By-the by, we omitted t o mention that " first blood" was awarded to Walker, in the third round, from a hit planted by him on Barnash's left P.” this, however, was fully balanced by the first 7-- given in the 27th round by Damao- , to the 46th Walker folio-- weaker. Any Mown. vrom the 7th round in difficulties, growing gradual'y ..„ unable to plant a blow of sufficient power to beat on or keep out his harty and superior opponent. In the forty-fifth he slipped on his knees, his left eve was half darkened, and he had received heavily on the nose and mouth. His brother Johnny, contrary to the young one's wish, entered the ring and pre in for his brother. BOW-STREET. James Harwood, a lad of about 17 years of age, wns charged with forging a 51. cheque upon the bankers, Messrs. Cocks and Biddulph, purporting to be drawn by Messrs. Scctt and Moffatt, architects, of 20, Spring-gardens. Augustus Sutherland, clerk to Messrs. Richmond, coal merchants, of Scotland-yard, said that on Monday, the sth inst., the prisoner entered the counting-house there and irske d for cash for a 5/. cheque, for Mr. Scott. Witness gave him a 51. note, and afterwards gave the cheque to Mr. Davis, of the Sun public-house. Mr. John Davis, of the Sun public-house, Great Scotland yard, said, that on the evening of the sth instant, he receive d the cheque produced from the last witness. On the 7th inst. he took it to Messrs. Drummonds, the bankers, of Charing cross, and received cash for it. He then wrote the words "Si., John Davis" on the back of the cheque, at the clerk's desire. Mr. Moffatt, of the firm of Scott and Moffatt, architects, of 20, Spring-garips, stated that the prisoner was in his service on the sth instant, and had been f,r two or three months. The cheque produced, and signed "Scott and Moffatt," was not drawn by him, the signature was a forgerry. The prisoner was committed for trial. Mr. Jos :pi Bowers Gray, a surgeon, who was charged last week with forging a post-office order receipt for 11. (which had been forwarded for his predecessor in the business, 114, Holborn, was placed at the bar for further examination. The prisoner, it may be remembered, after purchasing the business ir. High Holborn of Mr. G. L. Hillas, disposed of it to his brother, and succeeded, himself, to achemist's business, in St. Jarrea's-street, for which be had paid, or was about to pay, 2,0001 During his residence in Holborn, a post-office order for 1;, was sent to the house, for Mr. Hillas, from a former patient of that gentleman, then residing at Southwell, near Newark. Mr. Hillas had written to his patient (the Rev. A. lAtham) respecting the sum flue to him, and was informed that a post-office order had been forwarded to him. On inquiry et the General Post-office, in St. Martin's-le- Grand, it wi's ascertained that the amount had been received, and the signature of Mr. G. L. Hillas regularly signed upon the order, which the clerk in that department produced in court, althczgh unable to identify the party who signed the name. The writing, however, was declared by several wit nesses to be that of the prisoner, and this constituted the evidenc2, in support of the charge against him. The pris;:eler was not admitted to bail. At the 'resent examination the Rev. A. Tatham, who sent the order, t`re clerks at the post-office, Newark, who entered it upon the 'ooks, the letter-carrier who delivered it in Ifol born, and one or two other witnesses, who identified the sig nature upon the order as being in the prisoner's handwriting, added their depositions to those taken last week. The exa mination being conducted by Mr. Peacock, on behalf of the Post-office, and by Mr. Ballantine, for the prisoner. The Leal ned Counsel for the prisoner urged upon his Wor ship's consideration the slight nature of the evidence, as con trasted with the serious character of the charge, and also the apparent absurdity of supposing that a man in such a sta tion of life, and with so much property at his command, would risk his reputation and his liberty for so paltry a sum as 11., the amount of the post-office order. The priso;,er's brother, a fellow-assistant of the prisoner when the leter lived with Mr. Fowler, a surgeon, of Devizes, and some otter witnesses, were called to prove that the hand writing in aslAch the signature was written did not resemble that of tie prisoner's. Mr. Janr.7l;:z determined on sending the prisoner for trial, but on this occasion consented to take bail, himself in 1,0001., and two sureties in 500/. each, for his appearence to answer the charge.

Dr. Quail, many years surgeon in the armies of Greece, Poland, :;nd ..)artugal, who made an application to Mr. Bond, about two trr.nths since, with reference to some alleged claims on the Government, waited upon Mr. Burrell on the same subject. The Ltagistrate having inquired his business, Dr. Quail Laid—l was brought before you, sir, about four years agc, from the Treasury, charged with refkising to leave there. I ha , now come to put myself under your protec tion, as I cannot obtain satisfaction of the Ministers, and am apprehensive that I shall be brought before you. I have been promised attention to my claims many times from all the Ministers, but those promises have been unattended with any result. Mr. BunnELL—What claims? Dr. Quail—They are for seventeen years' pay and pension for services to Greece, Poland, and PortugM. 25,0001. per annum is accredited to this Government from Portugal to pay the Legion, to which I belong, and of which I have never received a fraction, and have been engaged diplomatically since 1833 to establish the claims. There is credit open upon the revenue of Greece, upon which I have a claim of 15,0001., since 1829, whilst the Government are also indebted to me in the amount of 50/. a year, for eight years from Poland. The British Parlia ment accords 12,000/. a year to pay the Polish refugee army, but I have not been paid any subsidy since 1837. Dr. Quail was proceeding, when— Mr. BURRELL stopped him by observing, "This is not a matter, sir, which I can entertain." Dr. Quail—The repeated promises with respect to these claims have never been fulfilled. Mr. BunnEt.t.. —I have nothing whatever to do, sir, with matters of this description. Dr. Quail, however, proceeded, and after urging with much earnestness what he, no doubt, considered the strong points of his case, added, I wish for a warrant, sir, against the Secre tary of the Treasury, that he may be brought before you to discuss the motive for my being deprived of my rights. Mr. BURRELL (smiling)--Oh no, I could not think of doing that. '1 here is not the slightest ground for entertaining such an application. Dr. Quail—But the Ministers are amenable to the laws as well as ourselves. _ _ Mr. nunnELL--That nay be, but certainly not in the way you propose. I must repeat, I have nothing to do, sir, with such matters. Dr. Quail again went on to urge his claims, until the pa tience of the worthy magistrate was almost exhausted; and, after repeatedly assuring the applicant that the case was ono in which he could not interfere, withdrew, as did soon after the learned doctor. WORSHIP-STREET. Michael Marlow, the man who stands charged with utter ing several forged cheques, drawn in the name of Mr. Henry Tikipson, a gentleman of property residing near South ampton, and made payable at the banking-house of Sir Richard C. Glynn and Co., in Lombard-street, was placed at the bar before Mr. Bingham, fur re-examination. Mr. Bush, of the firm of Bush and Mullen?, Solicitors to the Bankers' Society, appeared for the prosecution; and Mr. Heritage attended for the defence. It will be recollected that in the course of last year the prisoner had presented cheques similar to those now under investigation to Mr. Hubble, a licensed victualler, at Upper Clapton, in payment of arders he had given on account of a lade- named Tait, residing in that neighbourhood. and a near relative of the prosecutor, and the whole of which cheques had always previously been paid. On the 24th of December last, however, he purchased a bottle of brandy of that wit- TICS, in the name of Mrs. Tait, for which he paid with a 10/. cheque upon Messrs. Glyn and Co., purporting to be drawn in favour of a Mr. William Timps, n, and to be signed by Mr. Henry Timpson, the prosecutor, and this cheque, upon afterwards being presented at the banking-house, was pronounced to be a forgery. After much formal evidence had been adduced, tracing the transit of the cheque through numerous hands until it was finally stopped at Messrs. Glyn's, The prosecutor, Mr. Henry Thomas Timpson, was exa mined, and stated that he had for some years kept an account with that firm, and always been in the habit of drawing his cheques upon blank paper, similar to the cheque produced, several of which he had transmitted during the last twelve month to Mr. William Timpson, of Morden College, Black heath, a first cousin of .and also to Mrs. Tait, of Upper Clapton, the daughter 7 that gentleman. The cheque now produced was not in his handwriting, and he had never au thorised any one to sign it in his behalf. The prisoner was an entire stranger to him, and he Fad never seen him, to the best of his recollection, until that day. Mrs. Louisa Tait, the wife of Mr. day. Tait, of Up per Clapton, stated that about the latter end of February, 1844, her father was residing near her, and being very infirm and helpless, had employed the prisoner and his wife, who, with, their family, were in great distress, the one as nurse and the other as confidential servant and occasional amanu ensis, he tieing unable himself to write, in consequence of being affected with gout in the hands. He had been in the habit of receiving cheques from the prosecutor, but never employed the prisoner to get cash for any of them, and bad neither on the day in question authorised him to procure brandy in her name. nor seen the cheque produced, until it was returned from the bankers and declared to be a forgery. The prisoner, by the advice of his solicitor, reserved his defence, and was fully committed for trial upon this charge. A second case was then gone into, in which the prisoner had, on or abut the 16th of December, uttered a eliegne for the same amount as in the former case, and the circumstances connected with which wore almost identical with those at taehing to the first, The testimony, in both eases, having been reduced to de positions, and read over in the presence of the prisoner, Mr. Heritage applied for the sanction of the magistrate to inspect certain letters and documents which had been discovered in the house of the prisoner, and which he was of opinion would form es;:,ential evidence in the couduet of the defence he was instrupted to set up in behalf of his client, the substance of which was, that the charge was the result of a conspiracy by two other persons, who were, in fact, the parties really guilty of the forgeries, ,s4id ries,at t i b i a n i h wh e os h e otd hands the prisoner had been a mere unconscious instrument in carrying 0, 1 4 their praetipes, flush objection to allow the Learned Gentleman free access to any papers he might wish to consult in preparing his defence; and the Magistrate ordered the police, in whose custody they were, to afford him every facility for that purpose,' Di r. oli fhei 444 that in addition to the charges already established against the prisOner, there were two oth i er distinct cases of uttering similar forged cheq ues, which he expected to be able to bring clearly home to th e accused, i but ee necea= sary hesh f o o t t !ld h r e4l eou co ir m e p fu le r c t t h o e u r . time to collect the e N i ilen committedi 0 b ib; b t on both the chars Wow gprte into, an o h th t • b - up again nee week to answer am others .4 mai e was'ardingly fully ferred.
