SPIRIT OF THE PIJBLIG JOURNALS. The newspapers, whose already declared opposition to the Peel Ministry is distinguished even by the avowal of factious motives, are trying within the last week to raise the country by a clamour against the pretensions of Sir Charles Manners Sutton to be again elected Speaker. Now, most men are fond of amusement—they all, with few exceptions, are prone to the enjoyment of jokes : but the gift of uncon scious joking, otherwise of blundering, in such a manner as to produce laughter without designing it, is an attribute not much to be envied. For instance, when people intend to be " uncommon" wise, taking infinite pains to instruct, convince, and urge their neighbours to a certain course of action, and after all succeed just far enough to persuade one-third of those who read or hear their arguments that the said arguments are ironical, and the two remaining thirds of the community, that they are simply nothing more than " uncommon" ridiculous and silly, it may be very safely asserted that there is a considerable quantity of joke spoiled, and of laudible gravity wasted. Even such has been the case with the laborious efforts of Ultra-Radical-Whigs against the re-election of Sir C. M. Sutton to the chair of the House of Commons. From among a long catalogue of charges against the Right Hon. Gentleman, put forth by some of the weekly journals, all intended to act upon the con sciences of Members of Parliament, and to ensure his rejection, we find it stated, and in a chronological form, that on such and such days within the last two months Sir C. M. Sutton committed such and such offences. For instance, on the 17th of November he attended " the Tory Privy Council." The fact is, that it was a necessary etiquette for a certain number of Privy Counsellors to be present at the swearing in of the Duke of Wellington and Lord Lyndhurst into office ; and sum monses were, by the King's express desire, sent round to all the Privy Counsellors in town who had not been Members of the last Cabinet, because otherwise there might not have been a quorum present besides the old Ministers who were in attendance to deliver up their seals, and his Majesty felt that it might be indelicate towards them to require their continuance in the Council Chamber for the purpose of swearing in their successors. Sir C. M. Sutton was one of those who obeyed the Royal summons as a thing of course. November 18.—The Speaker had an audience of the King. What rank Toryism in Sir Charles Manners Sutton to be honoured with an audience of the Sove reign I 19th.—More indictable matter ; Sir C. M. Sutton actually visited his friend the Duke of Wel lington I 21st.—He dined with a Tory party at the Palace I Why, we are under a profound mis take if Lord Grey—if Lord Melbourne—if twenty other Whigs, have not on occasion " dined " with " Tory parties" at the Palace. His Majesty has sel dom been very nice on that point. He may invite whomsoever he thinks proper, and no subject, espe cially no man in public office, can decorously refuse when so invited to wait upon the Sovereign. A pretty ground this, on which any Member of Parliament, save only some crack-brained and ferocious Radical, could rest and justify his vote ! So the Speaker again " visited" the Duke of Wellington. The Speaker " visited" Sir Robert Peel, after the return of the lat ter from Italy. The Speaker " dined " at Sir Charles Wetherell's. The Speaker " dined " at Sir Edward Sugden's. The Speaker this day, if not shamed out of so disgraceful a purpose, is to " dine" at Sir Henry Halford's, as we think he did some time ago at the Lord Mayor's, in company with the Cabinet Ministers I We have gone pretty largely into this list of high crimes and misdemeanors against the State, or rather against the stomach of ultra-Radical ism, that our readers may see what sort of logic is em ployed for the promotion of party ends, and what sort of a condition that cause must be in which has re course to them. The records of factious virulence and blindness exhibit nothing so ludicrous. It has been said that the late Speaker is a party man, and there fore unfit to be placed in the charge of the House of Commons. We should like to be told of the name of any one of the Right Honourable Gentleman's predecessors, who was not known for his adhe rence to one political party or another. But the Whigs themselves are, by their own acts, precluded from bringing forward the party politics of Sir C. M. Sutton as a ground of disqualification for the chair. They have left it on record that although his party bias was not less notorious twenty years ago than it now is, they nevertheless had such reliance on his integrity and honour, that they themselves, so recently as in the year 1832, preferred him for Speaker before all other competitors ; and yet they, the Whigs, who disagreeing with his opinions, pronounced him to be in their judg ment the best qualified individual for the chair, now treat the proposal that he shall resume the high office as a crime in the Conservatives, from whom he does not differ. Sir C. M. Sutton may, perhaps, be ob jected to by some gentlemen upon private motives, al though, if they be such as cannot be directly avowed, they are such, of course, as cannot be honourably acted on. But the truth must be told, and a rational, and indeed obvious, explanation may be offered of all this outrageous violence upon a question which hitherto has been regarded as of subordinate and partial interest. The first expectation of the dismissed Ministers and their partisans was, that Sir R. Peel would, on his re turn to this country, assure his Majesty that a Conser vative Cabinet was out of the question, and that he would throw up the cards in despair. The next hope was, that he would never dare to meet the Parliament either as it then stood, or as it would be after a dis solution. The third persuasion in the minds of the Whigs was, that they would possess so overwhelming a majority in the new Parliament as to ensure the signal defeat and immediate resignation of Ministers, through a vote implying the hostility of the House of Commons. Now, there is strong reason to be satisfied that every such hope has failed them—that they know they cannot reckon on the defeat of Ministers by any vote upon the Address—and that the only display of early force they can make will be in opposition to the Speaker proposed by Ministers. Hence the novel importance attached within these ten days to the latter vote. If they can carry an Ultra-Radical Whig Speaker, they flatter themselves it may produce an im pression throughout the country, fitted to strengthen them in their attack on the Address, in which latter they despair of prospering without some sueh adventi tious and preliminary succour. However, there are two or three things which these factious partisans had bet ter lay to heart. 1. They will inevitably fail in their attempt upon the Speaker. 2. If they were to succeed therein, the Ministers would not be the more disposed— or, morally speaking, the more bound, to give in their resignations. 3. Admitting the defeat of Ministers on the question of the Chair, it would not facilitate in the very smallest degree the effort to carry an adverse amendment against them. We believe, according to the best-authenticated accounts which have reached us, that the Opposition muster-rolls will turn out to be nearly as correct as those of a Russian army—with something more than 40 per cent. of difference between the force on paper and the " men in their shoes."— Times. It is hardly necessary to remind our readers that we have taken many opportunities, for years past, of ad vocating such a reform in the constitution and disci pline of the Church of England as would affect the extinction of pluralities and sinecures, suppress the abuse of non-residence, and, by the better distribu tion of ecclesiastical revenues, provide a decent and adequate maintenance for all the working clergy. Whether the present Ministers intend to propose a plan of reform so large or so liberal as this we do not know, of our own knowledge ; but having no reason to doubt the correctness of the outline of the alleged Ministerial plan, which has been given in quarters bet ter acquainted with the intentions of Ministers than we can pretend to be, it gives us great satisfaction, as we are sure it does the whole Christian public, to find that the Parliament, now about to assemble, will be soon called upon to assist the King's Ministers in carrying into law a full and efficient measure to purify the Church from its abuses to renovate its spiritual character—to augment its moral power, and to extend, through its instrumentality, the means of •C hris t ian instruction among the people. No person can say that a plan of Church Reform is not large and liberal which includes the abolition of pluralism and ` l 'non-residence---the fairer adjustment of the labour and relative income of Bishoprics—the beneficial appro priation of the revenues of Deans and Chapters, still applying as much as is necessary for the maintenance of cathedral service, and the preservation of cathedrals —the extirpation of the abuse of holding livings in cornmendam—the augmentation of small livings from the redundancy of great ones ; and, as the great result of the whole, having in all parts of the Kingdom an able and efficient working Clergy, furnishing in the densest manufacturing, as well as in the most retired rural districts, the supplies of Christian knowledge and Scriptural instruction on a scale commensurate with the demands of the population. The late Government destroyed ten Bishoprics in Ireland without moving one step in the road of Church Reform, and to every one of those Bishoprics as many Romish Priests os tentatiously advance their claims ; nor is it to be sup posed they will remain satisfied with the titles without the temporalities. It is easier to destroy than reform, and the present Ministers will have no small difficul ties to overcome in bringing the principles of their measure into practical application. The necessity of respecting existing interests all just men will e admit, for if that sort of law, which is founded upon the tyrannical maxim, that " might constitutes right," be applied to Church revenues, it will soon be applied, as in the French Revolution, to all other species of property, and confiscation of funds and land will crown the work of legislative spoliation. But the Ministers, in reducing to practice the proposed plan of Church Reform, will have a great moral force to assist them. We trust that all persons whose interests are involved, will see the propriety of giving what ever facilities they can to carry into effect a measure which may amply repay any sacrifices they may be disposed to make, by the greater stability which it will give to the establishment, and, along with that, to the whole of the institutions on the preservation of which depends not only the political power and strength of the country, but the protection of the rights of pro perty and of public order, along with the security and welfare of all classes of the people.—Morn. Herald. The union between Church and State has been theo retically sanctioned and practically enforced by the most enlightened and illustrious Legislators and States men of ancient and of modern times ; by lay still more than by ecclesiastical authorities ; from Lycurgus and Socrates to Cicero and St. Paul; from those who, in the seventeenth century, rendered the Protestant reli gion and the civil liberties of England inseparable, to those who, in the nineteenth, would have destroyed, under the specious pretext of ameliorating, both ; from Warburton and Burke to the Bishop of Exeter and Sir Robert Peel. The history of a neighbouring country furnishes us with the solitary record of an at tempt to erect a political superstructure without a foundation, a Civil Government without a received re ligion ; and the direct results of this unnatural effort have denounced, in tones that will reverberate among generations yet unborn, the insanity which dictated it. Burke, the most philosophical of statesmen, and the most brilliant of orators, has given us by anti cipation, a description of Sir Robert Peel in a de finition of his standard of a statesman—" A disposi tion to preserve, and an ability to improve." Such are, indeed, the characteristics which ought to dis tinguish a Minister to whom is intrusted the most important, the most awfully responsible, duty that ever devolved upon the first servant of a Protestant Monarch, and the leading statesman of a Christian country—the duty of preparing a plan of Church Reform ; of Reform in that venerable structure with which is blended, intimately as the body with the soul, everything that is valuable in our civil institutions ; everything which as freemen we prize, as Englishmen we love, as Christians we revere. That any measure of amelioration in the extrinsic details of ' our National Establishment which may emanate from the present Prime Mi nister, or be clothed with the sanction of his autho rity, will be at once temperate and substantial, comprehensive and conservative, few will be dis posed to doubt who, have observed with attention that statesman's political career, or who are old enough to recollect the scope and tendency of a great measure of ecclesiastical reform which, nearly thirty years ago, was introduced into the House of Com mons by that great and good man—Spencer Percival. Both of those distinguished statesmen were Reformers (in the sense which that dishonoured word bore before its recent prostitution), were Conservatives and Pro testants. If Mr. Percival were the profounder theolo gian, Sir Robert Peel is the more acute and practical politician. He is impressed with the same feelings of pious reverence, he is guided by the same maxims of public policy, which actuated Mr. Percival ; and it is not, therefore, unreasonable to anticipate that there will be found in the measure to be brought forward by the present Prime Minister, all the analogy to that of his predecessor which the change in times and circum stances, in the tone of the public mind and in the cha racter of public men, will permit. Mr. Percival's mea sure was thrown out by the Whigs, who at that period had not discovered either the necessity or the advantages of Reform, whether that term be employed in its genuine or in its polluted acceptation. Mr. Percival's Bill embraced, nevertheless, most of those points which, at the present day, all reflecting and dispassionate men, as well as many who are neither the one nor the other, agree in considering susceptible of improvement ; such, for instance, as pluralities, non-residence, a more equi table appropriation of the episcopal revenues, a more adequate remuneration of the parochial clergy. We think we may confidently predict the success of a mea sure having these truly Conservative objects in view in the Parliament about to assemble ; and it is impossible to entertain any doubt whatever that the Church, and that the country, that the honest, the loyal, and the pious will find in the proposed measure cause, not of contentment only, but of gratitude and triumph. Sir Robert Peel will, to use the language of the immortal Burke, " Make the reparation as nearly as possible in the style of the building.”—Morning Post. The favourite Clerical Paper has already taken the alarm at the rumours of Church Reform. The John Bull observes— " It is no longer doubtful that an extensive measure of Church Reform is now under discussion. We have very strong opinions upon the subject, and upon the characters and qualifi cations of some individuals who must necessarily be engaged in the deliberations upon the vital question. We shall abstain from any further observations to-day ; but we do trust that NO CONSIDERATION will induce the Government to weaken the faith and confidence which the members of the Established Church have in the declaration of the Sovereign." _ _ _ According to that declaration, as quoted by the Tories, the reform of the Church is to be left to the heads of the Church, that haVe shown so lively a consciousness of its defects and abuses. The best physician will not prescribe for his own case ; the most skilled surgeon will not operate aeon his own flesh ; but the ecclesiastical body thinks itself compe tent to cut away the redundancies of its wealth, and to abridge its ease and luxury. Sancho Panza's forced attempt at self-flagellation, which ended in a tender caress, would be the type of Church Reform by the Bishops. The John Bull observes— " Liberality, in the fullest measure consistent with the safety of the Establishment, may be meeted to the Dissenters, and some alterations in the extent of,dioceses, so as to equalize in some measure the revenue of the Bishops, may be made ; but we confess we hear with fear and trembling of the proposi tions now debating. We will not go further now—we earnestly hope that the Government will not lend too ready an ear to insi tiious advisers, but assure itself that the enlightened, respect able, and loyal portion of the People of England, however dc. sirous they may be for the abolition of abuses, are as firmly attached to their Church, its rights and privileges, as ever they were." . . Is this a puff' for the Ministerial project; or is it indicative of a readiness to resist any measure to any degree corrective of Ecclesiastical abuses ? It may be a necessary stratagem that the Church should appear hostile to the reported Ministerial project, as the people will be likely to argue that the opposition of the Church must be in proportion to the efficiency of the measure proposed, and that any reform with which the Church could be satisfied must be insufficient. But the next paragraph would induce us to think that the John Bull was not attempting a ruse, but opening ground for a schism. " It will be necessary for us to recur to this subject shortly; in the meantime we have only to say, that we believe the ru, mour of -a division of the Cabinet upon this particular subject to be groundless, and at all events premature." The rumour of a division of the Cabinet is at all events premature. This language is sufficiently sig nificant ; and here we see what a rope of sand this Government must be ; the moment there is any rumour of its moving in pursuance of its professions, the signs of schism break out. Yet one of the false pretences for the dismissal of the late Ministry was the want of perfect agreement upon the question of the Irish Church, so much more difficult and likely to give rise to contention, than that of the English.—Morning Chronicle. ABERDREN ELECTION. NOMINATION OF CANDIDATES FOR THE CITY OF ABERDEEN. On Wednesday last, the nomination of the candidates for the representation of the city of Aberdeen took place on the hustings erected at the Cross. Mr. Bannerman and Sir A. Farquhar, accompanied by their respective friends, came to the ground a few minutes before the time appointed for proceeding with the election. At twelve o'clock, the Sheriff took his place upon the hustings ; and, after reading the Writ and Act against bribery, requested any gentleman who intended to pro pose a candidate to come forward. Provost BLURIE then stood forward, amidst much cheer ing, arid said—Gentlemen, the principles, the character, the Parliamentary conduct of Mr. Bannerman, our late Repre sentative, are here so generally known, that I allude to them only for the purpose of remarking that, in the event of his being again returned to Parliament, they offer, in my opinion, the surest pledge that no man will more zealously and perse veringly exert himself to reform, amend, and correct real abuses and defects—(Cheers)—or more strenuously arid anxi ously oppose every measure which he considers may tend either to endanger the Constitution, or to injure or destroy the ♦enerated institutions of the country.—( Cheers.) Holding these opinions, gentlemen, I feel that, besides performing a grateful act of courtesy towards an early and intimate friend, I am at the same time discharging a public duty to my fellow citizens in recommending Mr. Bannerman to your favourable consideration, and in proposing him as a fit and proper person to represent the city of Aberdeen in the ensuing Parliament — which I have now the honour to do.—( Cheers.) The nomination was seconded by Principal Jam Mr. G. HADDEN nominated Sir A. FARQUHAR, and Mr. A. FORDYCE seconded the motion. Mr. BANNERMAN then stood forward amidst enthusiastic cheering and said—Gentlemen, after two years' experience of my Parliamentary conduct, I venture again to appear before you on these hustings. The Lord Provost of Aberdeen has done me the honour to nominate me as a fit and proper person again to represent you in Parliament.—(Loud cheers.) Gen tlemen, I imagine the Provost of this large city has a pretty shrewd guess of the feeling of its electors ; but, be that as it may, lam confident that even my opponents will admit that Provost Blaikie is the last man who would introduce to your notice an individual who would aid in overturning any of the institutions of the country—(Cheers)—institutions which it has been said were menaced on all sides—and institutions which it has falsely asserted the late House of Commons had doomed to destruction. I ought to know something of the late Par liament—for I attended it during two sessions, morning, noon, and night, and as I happened to know personally most of its Members, I can assure you that I never sat in an assembly, the Members of which, with some few exceptions, were more anxious to preserve the institutions of their country than they were—but to preserve them in the way in which old and beau tiful trees are preserved—by lopping off the old and useless branches and clearing away from their trunks those excresen ces and funguses which indicate corruption and which would be sure to end in decay.--( Cheers.) lam opposed on this occasion by a gallant officer, who comes forward, as he says, on Conservative principles—(Loud laughter)—a " Conservative in the best sense of the word, but one who will not eschew the pruning-knife."—( Great laughter. ) If such be indeed the case, all I have to say is, ponder well, ye preservers of the institutions of our country, before you go to the poll upon Friday morning—ponder well, I say, upon this pruning-knife. ( Cheers and laughter.) There is a district in the neighbourhood of Aberdeen where Toryism used to be in disrepute—several of the electors in that district inform me that some of the Committee of the whole House told them that I have turned a tremendous Tory, and that I was quite indifferent with regard to the result of this election. I was also informed by the same persons that a paper, which is published here upon Friday, had last week been largely circulated through that district—l mean Woodside. This paper—but it is necessary for me here to quote very cor rectly—(Laughter)—gives me a very high Conservative cha racter. It says—" He is to support the Church Establish ments in these kingdoms—endeavour to leave the Dissenters without a grievance to complain of; and he is to support any any good measure, by whatever Minister it may be introduced. Now, in most of these opinions every Conservative would al most entirely concur,' as they are so just and reasonable ; but they are unpopular, which, in our estimation, is a high com mendation of them." This might all have been very unsatis factory to the voters in Woodside ; but mark you, electors, what follows—" He seems to have no confidence in Ministers —the public ought to have no confidence in him." This is what I call hitting the nail upon the head ; and I have to thank the person who has so dexterously used the hammer. I have, indeed, NO confidence in the present Ministry.—(Repeated cheering.) As I said before, I will factiously oppose rib Ad ministration. I will support any and all measures, by whom soever they may be brought forward, which I think will prove conducive to the welfare of the country ; but I again repeat (said Mr. Bannerman, with much energy)—l again repeat that I place no confidence in the present Ministry.—( Loud and long-continued cheering.) This is strong language. ; but it is plain, and it is such as, I trust, will be understood. Al low me to remind you that the poll opens on Friday morning at nine o'clock. Be at your posts ; and, as lam opposed by a man of war on this occasion, I leave it to you to return me to Parliament with a first-rate majority.—(Loud and long continued cheering.) Sir ARTHUR FARQUHAR then addressed the Electors amidst considerable confusion, and, after a vote of thanks to the She riff, proposed by Sir Alexander Bannerman, the meeting quietly dispersed. THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY, JANUARY 26, 1835. JAMAICA. The following are the reasons assigned by Mr. Abbott, the Baptist Missionary, for refusing to be examined, on oath, be fore a committee of the House of Assembly, at Jamaica : " Ist. I decline taking the oath, as I do not conceive the Committee to be a judicial authority—it would therefore be unscriptural for me to do so. I question the right of the Hon. House of Assembly to examine witnesses upon oath, and I be lieve I am correct in stating, that it is a power never assumed by the British House of Commons, except in cases of con tested elections. " 2d. I conceive it to be absurd and impious to take an oath on a mere matter of opinion. " 3d. Information has reached me that charges have been preferred against me before the Committees. Ido not con sider, therefore, that I am bound to answer any questions upon oath that may have a tendency to criminate me. " To these I take the liberty of adding one which had con siderable weight in leading me to determine upon the line of conduct I am now pursuing. " When some of my brother missionaries were examined before similar Committees in 1828 and 1832, they experienced treatment which nothing but respect for the public authorities could have induced them to submit to. On their refusing to take an unconditional oath, they were most positively assured that no questions of an irrelevant nature would be proposed ; but when, confiding in the veracity of Honourable Members composing such Committees, they had taken this oath, ques tions of the most offensive nature were put, involving a disclo sure of their domestic affairs; and that they were compelled to answer them, many Honourable Members now present are aware. " Holding no sentiments which I am ashamed to avow, and being most earnestly desirous of promoting the public weal, I am not willing that my refusal to take the oath required should be construed into any reluctance on my part to give evidence. I therefore repeat what I expressed before the Honourable Committee yesterday, which the Honourable Chairman will do me the justice to acknowledge, that I feel the utmost readiness to furnish the Committee with all the information I possess touching the matter of their investigation, provided the oath be not insisted upon. " In conclusion, I beg most distinctly and respectfully to observe, that I too highly respect the powers that be, to aim in the most remote degree to invade the privileges of this House. I am conscious of the purity of my motives, and in maintain ing my rights before this Honourable House, I only claim that to which, as a Briton, living under the British Constitution, I firmly believe I am entitled." On the 25th of November Mr. Abbott obtained a writ of Habeas Corpus, in virtue of which he was brought up before the Chief Justice, who, on hearing the case, decided against him ; so that he remained in prison at the date of the last ac counts. STATE OF CRIME IN THE HUNDRED OF SAL FORD.—The annual statement published by tke governor of the New Bailey prison, exhibits an increase in the number of prisoners tried and convicted, as compared with the previous year. During the year jnst closed, 1,112 prisoners were tried at the sessions, being an increase of 177 on the year ending 1833. Of these 952 were convicted, showing an in crease of 182 in the year ; 644 were male felons, and 171 fe male felons; and 137 prisoners were convicted of misde meanours, but the governor's report does not give the relative proportion of males and females in the latter class. During the year, 150 males and 22 females have been sentenced to transportation, making the total number transported since the year 1794, 3,084, of which 2,724 were males and 360 females. The total number of persons put upon their trial since 1794 has been 23,445 ; and the total number committed to prison for various offences since the same year is 75,408.—Manchester Courier. AMUSING ANECDOTE.—The author of " Three Years in the Pacific," an American naval officer, speaking of Conuimbo, says :—" Immediately after our arrival, as is Cus tomary, the captain of the port paid his visit ; and declined the compliment of a salute, on the score that the guns of the forts had been thrown down in the revolution of 1829, and had not been restored. In fact,' said he, we are without defence; the smallest force would take the place ; there is not even a bayonet, much less a soldier, in the garrison.' Some years since, the commander of one of our ships of war offered to salute the town, on the usual conditions that it should be re turned gun for gun. The authorities replied, they would be extremely nappy t 9 go so, blit were entirely without powder. The commander sent on *op a present of n barrel of car tridges, The ship saluted. The fort commenced firing, ari4 continued till sunset ; then message vas i sent on board tg say, as it was late, they would fire the remainder n the morn ing " COURT OF CHANCERY. HARDY V. LEE. This was an appeal from the Vice-Chancellor. The bill was filed by the plaintiff against his solicitor for an account of the administration of the assets of plaintiff's father, to whose will the defendant was executor. The defendant, in managing the property, had mixed up the proceeds of the real and personal estate in such a manner that, on striking a balance, he found the real estate to be indebted to the legatees under the personal in a very large sum, the princi pal part of which had been advanced to the plaintiff. He, therefore took from the plaintiff a security for the repay ment of these advances in the shape of a mortgage on the real estate to the extent of 13,5001. The parties subse quently disagreed in the settlement of the accounts, and the plaintiff filed a bill calling upon the defendant to give up the deed of mortgage, which, it was alleged, had been improperly obtaiued ; and, at the same time, praying an ac ccunt of all debts, payments, and receipts. The Vice- Chancellor granted all this, and the defendant appealed against that part of the decree which directed him to give up his security. His LORDSHIP, after hearing Mr. Jacob for the appel lant, and Mr. Rolfe for the respondent, must overrule that part of the decree which ordered the deed to be given up, as he really saw no reason for it. An account must, however, he taken from the date of the last settlement. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT. SCOTT V. BAKER. The reading of the voluminous pleadings and the opening of the plaintiff's case in this cause occupied the Court the greater part of Thursday, and the whole of Friday and Saturday. The outline of the facts was this :—A very old single lady of the name of Anna Marshall, to whom the plaintiff, Mrs. Scott, was niece, and one of her next-of-kin, being very rich and of very penurious and miserly habits, made her will in 1826, the last of nearly twenty testa mentary instruments, all executed in the course of a few years, and by it, after giving some trifling legacies, she be queathed the residue of her property to the defendant, Mr. Baker, who had for several years previously been her confidential solicitor and only adviser. In one of her former wills the plaintiff had been named her residuary legatee. Upon her death the will of 1826, after much litigation con cerning her general competency to make a will, and the peculiar circumstances of the case, was notwithstanding ad mitted to probate. Whereupon the present bill was filed to have the defendant declared a trustee of the residue, principally upon allegations of Miss Marshall's general im becility, and also upon imputations that she had fraudu lently been practised upon by Mr. Baker, whereby she had been induced to leave him the bulk of her fortune in dis regard of her own relations. Sir C. WETHERELL commented on the facts in proof. After the plaintiff's case was closed, His HoNona said it was not necessary to call on the de fandants to open their case. The bill contained a great deal of observation on the mental weakness of Miss Mar shall, and in reading it he was struck with the superabun dance of charge of total incompetence to understand any thing she did. It alleged that the defendant was guilty of fraud, imposition, deceit, and circumvention, in taking undue and improper advantage of her mental imbecility, and in purposely suppressing information, and deceiving her as to the amount of her residuary estate. Such was the general scope of the bill, but from beginning to end the thing was done in as fair a manner as was possible ; there was no fraudulent concealment, or withholding of any communica tion of the state of her property which she should have had or required to have. She had merely given that va riable fund which she had given many times before. • His opinion, therefore, was, that the plaintiffs failed in law, because they had no facts to authorise the application of the law. The bill must, therefore, be dismissed, and, con sidering that fraud had been imputed in the grossest man ner without foundation, it must be dismissed with costs. ROLLS' COURT. THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. BULLIN. In this case Mr. Pemberton moved on Friday to have the information taken off the file on the ground of irregu larity in the proceedings, in consequence of the omission of naming a relator. His HONOUR decided that no sufficient reason had been shown for affirming the motion. The fact was, that for several years past the same omission had occurred in every information which had been filed ; and if the present appli cation were complied with, the result would be the render ing invalid every decree that had been made in such cases. —Motion refused. KNATCHBULL V. FEARHAM. Mr. BICKERSTETH opened this case. It was a bill filed by three of the members of the Knatchbull family against the representatives of the late Rev. George Saer, one of the trustees of the late Thomas Hawkins, Esq., to recover the sum of 5,0004, of which they had be©n deprived through a breach of trust on his part. In 1801 the late Thomas Hawkins settled a fortune of 5,000/. on his daughter, then on terms of marriage with the late Sir Edward Knatchbull ; Sir Edward to have only a life interest in it, and then to go to his children, if any. The sum was to be raised out of Mr. Hawkins's estate. The trustees were Mr. Bradshaw and the Rev. George Saer. It was provided in the marriage settlement that the 5,000/. should be invested in freehold or copyhold property, the term of which should not be under fifty years, or in Government securities. There was another clause in the deed which authorized the trustees to give Sir Edward Knatchbull power over 2,000/. in the event of his wishing to appropriate it in any particular way. The mar riage of Sir Edward with Miss Hawkins took place in No vember of the same year. In the same month the sum of 5,000/., in terms of the marriage settlement, was paid into the bank of Messrs. Wright and Co., Henrietta-street, in name of the trustees. In December following, Sir Edward received, in two different sums, 3,387/. 45., which was laid out in the purchase of two estates, and the remaining 1,612/. 16s. was invested in the Three per Cent. Consols. Notice of this was given to Mr. Saer, who was in the county of Durham at the time, and who concurred in the steps which had been taken. In 1804 the trustees gave a power of attorney to Messrs. Hoare to sell the stock, which was ac cordingly sold, and the amount paid to Sir Edward. The trustees, it was true, were not personally benefitted by this ; but it was in violation of the trust-deed, and was taking away the property from the objects of the trust. He there fore contended that the representatives of the trustees them selves being both dead, were liable for the 5,000/., and their estates must be made to pay the sum to his clients. The issue of the late Sir Edward and Lady Knatchbull was ten children, two of whom died in their infancy, and eight of whom were still alive. Of these three were the plaintiffs, and five were opposed to the action. Sir. W. HORNE, for the defendants, contended that the trustees never had it in their power to compel the payment of the 5,000/. out of the estates of Mr. Hawkins ; but, in dependently of this fact, there was a clause in the trust deed that the trustees should not be liable for a single shilling of the 5,000/., which did not go into their own pockets. It was not even pretended by the other side that so much as a single shilling of the money had found its way into their pockets. It had all gone to the Knatch bull family, the head of which was now in possession of those very estates which had been purchased by the largest part of the money in dispute. It beinK four o'clock when Sir William concluded his speech, the further hearing of the case and the decision were deferred until this day. COURT OF KING'S BENCH. THE KING V. ROBERTS. This was a warrant arising upon a quo warranto issued against the defendant, and calling upon him to show by what authority he held the office of Mayor of the borough of Carnarvon. The return to the quo warranto set forth, in substance, the creation of the borough into a town corpo rate in the reign of Edward I. ; and alleged that, by special grant of the Crown, the Constable of the Castle of Car narvon was the Mayor of borough. Mr. J. JERVIS, in support of the return, contended that the defendant was properly Mayor of the borough. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL, OR the other side, put the case on the question whether the Marquis of Anglesey had any right to appoint a deputy to the office of Mayor of the borough, and contended that he had no such right. The Court allowed the case to stand over. THE KING V. FOLESHILL. This was a question as to the manner in which a coal mine was to be rated—whether in the parish in which the shaft by which the mine was worked happened to be o pened, or in the various parishes in which the snrface o f the ground was situated. The Court had no doubt whatever that the mine ought to be rated in all the parishes through which it extended, and not in that alone where the shaft was situated.—Rating confirmed. BAIL COURT. THE KING V. THE JUSTICES OF MONMOUTH. This was a motion for a mandamus commanding the Justices of the Court of Session for the County of Mon mouth to hear an appeal lodged against the decision of the Magistrates ordering the removal of a pauper belonging to the parish of Rhys Clydac Penman Maur. The case was argued on the previous day by Messrs. Greaves and Talbot, and the question to be determined was, whether or not the notice of appeal was given in proper time, and conformably to the rule which the Justices had laid down for the gQ vernal en t of the practice off their own epurL, m r . J u sti n e I , 4 rr ! sop7 now delivered judgment. lie must, be said, discharge the rule ni ; i w ith costs, on the ground that the Court had no power to interfere with a rule which the Justices had established respecting the prac tice of their own Court.—Rule discharged accordingly. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. POOLE V. DICAS. Mr. Sergeant BOMPAS stated that this was an action brought against Mr. Dicas to recover a sum of 321. ss. upon a bill of exchange, accepted by a person named Wheeler, and endorsed by the defendant. The bill, when it became due, was placed in the hands of a notary, whose clerk presented it for payment. That clerk had since died, and he proposed giving his entry in the notary's book as proof of the bill having been presented. Wheeler's acceptance was then proved by a Mr. Hope, who said that the bill was given to Dicas for business per formed for Wheeler. Mr. Lockwood, clerk to Mr. Harrison, a notary, stated that in Jue, 1833, the bill in question was presented by Charles Manning, a deceased clerk in Mr. Harrison's office, and that an entry to that effect in Manning's handwriting was in his employer's books. The ticket annexed to the bill was not. in Manning's handwriting, but was in that of a person named Hawes, who wrote it, according to the course of business, from Manning's dictation. Mr. HUMPHREY contended that in the absence of Mr. Hawes there was not sufficient evidence to show that the bill was presented. Mr. Justice GASELEE, after observing that the question was ono of some importance, said that a case had occurred where an entry made by a brewer's drayman was held to be sufficient to prove the delivery of the goods after the dravman's death. A verdict was then returned for the plaintiff for the sum claimed, with leave to the defendant to apply to the Court to enter a nonsuit. EXCHEQUER COURT. ATTORNEY-OENERAL V. DEARE. In 1824 his Majesty's Attorney-General filed an informa tion against Mr. Charles Deare, army agent in his own right, and as executor of his late father, for a production of books relating to their accounts as army agents during 1795, and the two followin g years. The action was brought on behalf of his Majesty, for the purpose of ascertaining whether there was any balance due to the public as ap pearing from these books, that, if so, it might be sued for. Mr. Deare resisted the production of the books on the grounds that the accounts, and all the vouchers of payments made under them had been in 1800 deposited in the War-office in the usual manner ; and that the whole of the accounts had been examined, and the balances ascertained and paid in 1806. This had been proved by a letter from Lord Pal merston, Secretary-at-War in 1814. Some time ago a bill was filed by Mr. Deare against the Attorney-General and Mr. Ellis, for a discovery from the War-office of the ac counts and vouchers alluded to. This bill having been op posed on the part of the Crown, Mr. Deare's counsel was this day heard in support of it. Lord ABINGER, considering it to be a question of consi derable importance, and expressing doubts as to whether the Court had any power to compel the public officers to make production of documents which might be against the interest of the Crown, adjourned the further hearing of the parties till a future day. BOARD OF EXCISE. A person named Quince was indicted for being concerned in the illicit manufacture of glass. The defendant was fined 201., and the engine condemned. An individual named Hennel, a retail dealer in beer at Limehouse, was indicted for selling beer without a licence. The defendant, who declared he had not the slightest in tention of defrauding the revenue, was fined 201. A dealer in foreign wines, named Whitcomb, residing in Upper-street, Islington, was charged with selling a bottle of foreign white wine without being licensed.—Fined 201. KENSINGTON PETTY SESSIONS. A middle-aged female, named Elizabeth Lowden, was charged with having robbed her mistress, Lady Copeland, of Gunnersbury Park, Ealing ; and Williain Read, of No. 48, Belgrave-mews, was charged with receiving the same. Policeman Poole, T, No. 109, on Wednesday night took the male prisoner into custody, and on searching the large basket he had with him found several table napkins, cloths, a quantity of meat, bread, and apples, a copper teakettle, and other articles, which the prisoner said his wife, who lived at Gunnersbury Park, had given him. It appeared that Read was paying his addresses to Eliza beth Lowden, and on her boxes being examined a number of glasses, &c., were found. Other property was found at Read's residence. Inspector M'Manus said that Lady Copeland, in consi deration of the female prisoner's long services, declined pro secuting. _ _ . Mr. CODD, the Chairman, fined the prisoners in the sum of 50s. each, Read for having stolen property in his posses sion, and Lowden for having conveyed to him ; and in de fault of payment to one month's imprisonment. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HO USE. Mr. Adolphus oppeared to prosecute the firm of Bella my and Co. booksellers, of Cornhill, for ;n alleged fraud upon Robert Jennings, the publisher of Jennings' Lands cape Annual. Edward Cadell represented the firm of the defendants, but admitted that there was no such person as Bellamy in existence. Mr. Sydney Taylor appeared for the defence. Mr. Adolphus said that the prosecutor had, since 1831, been the publisher of a very elegant work called the Lands cape Annual, which was got up at a large expense, and was much celebrated. In 1835 it was thought necessary, for very good reasons, to make an alteration in the titl e o f th e book, which was accordingly designated Jennings' Lands cape Annual. The imaginary Mr. Bellamy found it con venient to commit an imposture upon the public by adver tising for sale Jennings' Landscape Annual at half a guinea, the price of the real work being double that amount, and by selling books under that name which were not Jennings' Landscape Annual. This species of imposition was calcu lated to do great prejudice to the very splendid character of the work, and was wholly unworthy of a London trades man. Robert Seares having seen Jennings' Landscape Annual advertised, had purchased on the 21st inst. a book called the Landscape Annual, at the shop of Bellamy and Co.— (Here the book was produced. It was dated 1834.) Cross-examined by Mr. Taylor—Occasionally worked as engraver and publisher for the prosecutor, and was em ployed by that gentleman to apply for the book. Mr. Taylor—Did you ask for the book of any particu lar year ; you see this is marked 1834 ? Witness—No ; I merely asked for " Jennings' Landscape Annual." Mr. Taylor—Did you not know that you were not buy ing " Jennings' Landscape Annual for 1835." Witness— Yes. Mr. Taylor then submitted to the Lord Mayor that, from the evidence, there was no case of fraud whatever ; that the very imputation of such an offence was negatived by the complainant's own evidence. The witness—not an illiterate or an ignorant person, but a man necessarily ac customed to literary production in his business as an en graver—went into the shop of the defendant, and asked for " Jennings' Landscape Annual." A book which was not de nied to be a Landscape Annual, published by Jennings, was handed to him. It neither was, nor was it represented to be, "Jennings' Landscape Annual for 1835." On the con trary, every purchaser had notice that it was the " Land- Annual for 1834," inasmuch as the words and figures were imprinted in large gilt type on the back. The date was also on the title-page ; so that, where no verbal representa tion was made, calculated to deceive the purchaser, he (the Learned Counsel) might safely rest the case that there was no deception intended, and none practised. Besides that, however, the witness admitted that he knew what he was purchasing : that he did not believe he was buy ing for 10s. 6d. the " Landscape Annual of 1835," which sold for one guinea, but believed and knew that he was buying the " Landscape Annual of 1834." Where, then, was the fraud, where the fraudulent representation ? It was of the essence of legal froud that deception should be practised on the mind of the party under circumstances that ordinary prudence and reasonable caution could not guard against. Here the purchaser went into the shop with his eyes open to purchase that which he did purchase. The maxim of law was Volunti not fit injuria. Here there was no corpus delicti. A more groundless accusation never came before a court of justice. Under these circumstances, there was not an honest bookseller in London who bought Annuals or other expensive books under the original price, and sold them cheap, that might not be accused, in the age of cheap literature, of dishonesty and fraud. The charge had not the slightest ground to rest upon in law or fact ; he therefore called upon his Lordship to dismiss the case. Mr. Adolphus contended that a case of fraud had been established ; that as to the impression upon the mind of the purchaser it had nothing to do with the legal definition of the offence. All that was necessary to be established was the fraudulent conduct of the party who offered the goods for sale. If the representation s and conduct of that party were fraudulent, the charge was made out, although the purchaser might be quite aware of the fraud. The LORD .MANA observed upon th e evidence and th e 4rgillPcPts 011 both sides ; and stated, that as the book in question was not pretended to be a counterfeit of one of Mr. Jennings's works, but one of the identical Annuals published by him, and lettered with a correct date, and as no fraudulent representation had been made at the time the work was sold, he was decidedly of opinion that no fraud had been practised, and therefore the case was dismissed. Here the Counsel for the defendants stated that, if ne cessary, it could have been proved that the books had been purchased from Mr. Jennings's stock, at Bs, each, upon the dissolution of the partnership. Q UEEN SQUARE. Saturday, just as Mr. GREGOIUE was about to leave the Bench, Henry Stokes alias Oliver, John Durham, Jane Thompson, and Sarah Peters, were brought up in custody, on a charge of coining. William Ford, a policeman of the B division, was on duty in Strutton-ground, and observed the girl Peters talking to Stokes, whom he knew to be a notorious coiner. After eley had parted he followed the female prisoner and asked her what money she had about her ; she refused to answer ; and upon searching her he found in her bosom eighteen counterfeit sixpences. He took her into custody, an d Mr. Banister, his inspector, directed him to go to the lodgings of Stokes, in St. Ann's-lane. Upon arriving there a signal was made by a woman stationed outside, and the door was instantly fastened by the bedstead being placed against With assistance he forced an entrance, and found the pri soner Stokes standing by the fire, upon which there was a pipkin with some metal in it, a mould and the other usual implements of coining. Stokes kicked the pipkin off the fire, and the contents went over the policeman. The other prisoners, Durham and Thompson, were in the room, and the whole party were taken into custody, The prisoners were remanded for the attendance of the Solicitor of the Mint. UNION-HALL. Joseph Day, a miserable-looking object, was charged with stealing a suit of clothes belonging to a fellow lodger in a house known by the name of " Cadger's Hall, the re sort of beggars of every description, in Kent-street. The complainant, on the preceding night, was shown into one of the thirty bedded rooms in the Hall, each bed being occupied by two tenants. Being well aware that the visi tors were not people of refined notions, he deposited his clothes beneath his head ; but, notwithstanding this contri vance, his wardrobe was missing the next morning, a nd so was his bed-fellow. This gentleman he ascertained to be a very dexterous remover of wearing apparel, having formerly eluded the vigilance of a man nicknamed " The Tiger," w ho sat up during the night to keep watch over the clothes which were doffed for the night. The denuded beggar encased himself in an ancient blanket, and then sallied out in quest of the plunderer, whom he fortunately appre hended at a marine store shop in the very act of convert ing his coat and inexpressibles into cash. " The Tiger: who attended to give evidence, stated that about 120 peo ple were accommodated in the Hall ; that the prices were from twopence to fourpence each person ; a n d that his master had another house in the Mint which accommodated about sixty people.--Fully committed.
