This same Hussein Khan has barely recovered from a severe bastinadoing he got from the Shah about a month ago. It is said he received about 500 blows of the stick, and had his toe-nails nearly knocked off. The Persians, however, do not appear to think it a disgrace to get a licking from the Shah ; and it is a thing that almost all the nobles about the court expect to receive once or twice in the course of their lives, and therefore always keep on friendly terms with the execu tioners, by giv;ng them presents, &c., so that when they have the ill luck to be tied up, t'ae executioner is induced to deal mercifully with them, and contrives to hit the wooden bar to which their legs are tied, instead of their feet ! In one of my former letters I mentioned a certain Ady-Giuzel, a famous robber chief 'in the Karadagh district, and who had latterly assumed the title of Shah. It is quite astonishing the power and influence this man obtained in a very short time. His followers amounted, they say, to nearly 300 ; besides which, all the villages in Karadagh were in his intere,t. He of fered all persons who would join him with a horse and a gun, 60 tomauns (301.) a year, besides a share of the plunder. His wile used to accompany him in all his expeditions, and was represetited as quite an Amaz in in strength and stature. He was wont to annoy the Russians very much, and, being close to their frontier, made frequent expeditions into their territory, to plunder their Vllages. He once stopped one of their Government couriers, who was carrying, be sides despatches, a larlte sum of money. to Tab reez. Owing to the wooded and difficult nature of the country he resided in, the Persian Govern ment could not attack him openly, but finally suc ceeded in taking him by surprise. Cold weather having come on, he disbanded his troop for the winter, and settled down in a village with only five of his fol lowers. News of this was secretly brought to Mehty- Cooly-Meerza, the governor of the district, who in stantly, under pretext of going on a hunting excursion. ordered his horse and people to get ready to follow him. The village in which Ady-Giuzel had taken up his quarters was about one hundred miles off, but which Mehty•Cooly-Meetza reached in an incredibly short time, and surprised and caught the robber chief with his five followers, all of whom were forthwith marched to Tabreez. Ady-Giuzel being a Russian subject, it was first intended to send him to Tiflis : but in consequence of there not being a sufficient number of troops in the place to escort him, and fearing his being rescued on the road, the Russians had him executed at Tabreez. He was a fine, bold, dashing fellow, and on the day of his death walked with a firm and intrepid step to the pl ice of execution, on reaching which he threw himself fail length oa the ground, and, calling to the executioner, said to him, " Kess, keupekoglu, kess" (strike, thou son of a dog, strike), and who forthwith, as if he had to deal with a sheep, cut his throat, and left him to bleed to death. The execution of this man caused a great deal of ex citement and disturbance in the place ; so much so, that the Government people have been afraid of put ting his five followers to death, they also having been ordered for execution. The people say he did nothing worthy of death, having (throughout his short career) only robbed the infidels, which it was lawful for him to do ; besides which, according to them, he always as sisted the poor and needy of his own (Mussulman) His executioner was the same afternoon murdered by some of the soldiery ; and of this the Government has taken no notice. M. du Hamel, the Russian Minister at the Court of Teheran, will, it is said, shortly return to Russia ; as does also Baron Bodi, his first Secretary. It is not yet known who will replace them. Trade had been very brisk, but, owing to the near approach of the sa cred month of Moharrem, is dull again. Grain, which has been very dear; is becoming cheaper, in consequence of those who had large stocks of it being afraid of keeping it any longer in reserve. My informant adds in a prescript—" I have just heard that the followers of Ady Giuzel were secretly sent off to Tiflis last night. Little Ali Effendi, the Turkish Consul at Tabreez, has been trying to roast one of his servants for having sim ply stolen a little soap. He tied him to a beam and lit a fire under him, but the man being a Russian de serter, and the Consul (Russian) hearing of what was going forward, sent and had him takes away, just n time to save his life ; however, the poor fellow, they say, has lost the use of his limbs." INTERFERENCE WITH THE MAILS.—On Tuesday last, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, in reoly to a question by Mr. Hume, stated that Government had entered into an arrangement whereby the mails would be carried on six days of the week by rail wa and by ..oath on Sunday. This is obviously a concession t the prepostr rous demands of the Agnew Sabbatarians, and i< .5 discre ditable to Mr. Baring as the tampering with the Non- In trusionists is to his colleague the Lord Advocate —Aber deen Herald.—The following explanation of this business has been handed to us. By the Railway Act recently passed, the Postmaster-General has power to corned the Directors of any railway to carry the mail, but there is nothing said as to the charge which the Company are entitled to make. The Directors the Scotch railways have shown themselves willing to carry the mail on week days at a moderate expense, leoking to the fares of passengers for the it chief remune - a ion ; but on Sundays they decline to carry passengers—and they say to the Postmaster-General, if we are to run a rn , ll train on Sunday, you must pay the whole expense, tor we shall carry no passengers. In these circumstance 4 the Po•t master-General has done what any other man would do— he has declined to pay the whele expense of a mail train, preferrirg on that day the ordinary coach conveyance to the fir dearer, though quiAcr, mode of transmissOen by railways.—Scotsuran. CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.—The degreein which the colonies produce the staple articles of our home ma nufactures is always a matter of interesting inquiry. In this view attention may be usecully directed to privaie letters recently received from Graham's Town, Cape of Good Hope; by which i.. appe.rs that the sheep farmers of the eastern province of Hi , Cape, 600 mile: from Cape Town, are making great proge cis both in the num ber of their flocks and in the quality of their wool, though they have been much perplexed ne to what kind they ought to produce, in cons •quence of the London mar keta showing a great pred lection in favour of common wools. The forward flocks are for the most part Saxon, but many of these are being crossed with the Leicester breed, ehieb, although it seems likely to cause a decline in the qualiv of the wool, is not regarded as a proceeding likely to be al!ogetber unprofitable. A rapid increase of population appears to be going on in this colony ; it is absurd to hear of the quantity of emigrants progressing to South Australia, when they can obtain better land at the Cape, and that for a fifth pert of the money. This lowness of price they do not abscribe to any defects in the farms that might be purchased, but simply to the want of capitals, and the many uses to which a sum which would here be considered moderat • may be applied. Gra ham's-town has risen to the position of a town with 6,900 inhabitants, ent;reey from their own aclivity and enter. prise; that they have themselves made what capital there is, and that they have ieircAy itioiorted anything, wh le South Australia owes nearly all to this source.—East Indian Telegraph. EMIGRATION..— The emigration season has arrived ; but compared with the !lumbers that flocked in irons all directutis to the place,' of shipment list year, not. one-tenth of them have yet applied for passage. The ship agents attribute the fact to the unsettled state of affairs between England and the States, having, early in tee year, by agents, ascertained that the demand f vessels in the spring wool I be equal to of any of the preceding seasons. Nat 011 e of the numerous emigrant ships charterei for America has yet gone out of harbour. Three of them, we tied( rstatid, cleared out of the Custom House last evening, v z., the Governor Douglas, for New York, which takes out 175 l vsengt , rs; the Pallas, for St. John's, New Brunswick, i'h 158 pissenge-s ; and the Albi m, for the same pore with about a similar number. The emigrants are principally decent farmers and their families, with whom are a number of fine able-bodied la bour rs. Cork Reporter. GENERAL HA ItRISON.—Mr G.

AB!I h is Iwo bri.li f At t toe [louse of Coin ,nons by M. Elward E e and Mr. Hmy 13Ahe, for the b presei %wino of Simon Fisheries in Se t a ,d. Tfic follow:ng era the principal clauses :—Scotland is to be divided into twelve districts for the purposes of the Act. Pro prietors of salmon fisheries may meet and change the close times of fishings in districts and rivers, and the close time adopted at the meeting shall remain for three years. The cruives, or other devices for taking salmon, grilse, &c., shall be opened to the full extent required by former Arts. between six o'clock on Sa'ur dcy night, and sunrise on Monday morning, and that an ample space shall be made for the free passage of the fish. This clause does not apply to fishing with net Or coble, according to law. Clause 8 regulates the size and position of the cruive in a river. It shall not be lawful to place any fixed engine, net, machine, or device in or across the mouth of any i r.ver, so as to pre vent the run of salmon up the river ; and all mill-dams, caulds, &c., which shall not have been used for two years shall be so altered as to permit the free run of fish over them, provided always that no such alteration shall prejudice the going of the mills situate upon the river, inspectors are to be appointed by the sheriffs of counties specified in the schedule ; the salaries of such inspectors to be paid by the proprietors of the fishing. Clause 15 enacts that fourteen clear days after close time has commenced, it shall be lawful for persons duly authorised to angle for salmon, grilse, sea trout, ar other fish of the salmon kind, provided they are not sold.

(From the Salopian Journal.) It may be recollected that the Jury retired to take some refreshment two or three times during the course of their important inquiry, which occupied nearly twelve hours. On each of these occasions the prisoner also went down to one of the cells underneath the Court, to which there is ready access from the dock. Captain Mayne, the Rev. D. Winstone, Mr. Heathcote (surgeon to the gaol), Mr. Cartwright, and one or two other gentle-nen, were accommodated by Mr. Dawson with • standing places" in the dock during the trial, and one of the party having gone below immediately after the prisoner, accidentally went into the cell in which be was in the act of taking some refreshment, He was with drawing, with an apology for the intrusion, when Mis ter requested him not to go away. The turnkey or policeman who also was in the cell did not object to this gentleman's 'remaining, which he accordingly did. The witness Mary Fomk , s (cook at the Anu * e. Ludlow). had been under cross-examination by M. Lee immediately bac) , e this, and Mister asked rather anxiously, " What do you think, Sir? How is it going on ?" The reply was, " I do not think the case against you, a 3 far as it has gone, as bad as was expected from what transpired on the examination at Ludlow." Mister then said, in quite a gay manner, " They can make netting of it, Sir. The prosecution was very baldly got up. What do you think of Sergeant Lud low's speech ?" 1 he, answer was, "It was a very tern perate one, and therefore more likely to make an im pression against you than if it had been violent, and had overstated the case." There followed a short pause, and Mister then said, with some vehemence, " Mr. Lee is doing it very well, I could do the croskexamination much better than he does." The observation which his visitor made was, " I think he dos it remarkably well." Mister replied, " Yes, he does—but no one can do it as well as one who knows all the facts. See what I made of it at Ludlow ; I made Cooke admit that the few drops of blood on my shirt might have got on it by being spirted out from Mackreth's wounds while the sur geon was dressing them. There's that Mary Foulkes, I must get Mr. Lee to ask her if she did not admit at Ludlow, that she had not wwhed her hands between the time of leaving Mackreth's room and comity; into mine. That is in the deposition, and I must have them read. She left his room with her bands all bloody, and came into mine without having washed them. It was from her hands that the blood came upon the bed cur tain, and I am only su-prised that the bedclothes were not bloody also, for she pulled them eff me in a heap." He added, with considerab!e emphasis," I'm sorry I did not defend myself, and cross-examine the witneies. No body can do it so well as one who knows the fact=." . He then proceeded very rapidly, " Mr. Charles Phillips has used me very badly, hasn't he?" 'He then said, 6' Lee is doing it very VI 11, but as soon as ever I get out, have a fly at Mr. Phillips. I'll put him into the newspapers." Whit.: this conversation was going on—if that can be called conversation where one person does nearly all the speaking—Mister appeared extremely at his eate. He did not sit down, but walked up and down the cell. occasionally turning his full bright eyes upon his visitor. A pause ensued while he was finishing the refresh ment provided for him, but he lost little time in again speaking. .4 What a pity," he said, that Gurney tries me ? I was before him a year ago, at Hereford, bu; I was most wrongfully accused. There was no witness against me, and I had drawn a bill for 125/. before." But what this was, it was impossible to ascertain, as, at that moment, one of the officers sum mooed the prisoner to resume his place at the bar, as the Jury had returned. He made a civil bow to the genteman to whom be had been speaking. and was re moved from the cell. . . . . When he went below a second time, he was within the cc U, standing near the entrance, when the gentle man above referred to happened to be passing by. Feel ings of humanity impelled him to hand Mister a paper of sandwiches ; and when they were disposed of—being received with the expression of much gratitude—M,s ter said, in a more subdued manner than before, " It is very hard, Sir, to be accused of a crime I never committed. I can prove that on the Baurday they say I was bet ,, een Shrewsbury and Ludlow, I had gone to Birmingham, and dined on that very day at the Swan in Wolverhampton. They might as well say that Mr. Crawford did it as I. If you had been in the Angel amr night, and slept in my room, you would have been open to susipiuion as much as I." The reply was to the effect that previous good cha racter would in such a case exempt any one of respect able appearance from the sul)icions to which a ma" who went to any inn without any money in his pock , t would be liable—that such suspicions once roused would naturally be increase" when it was found that be had put up at two inns in a pennyless condition, espe cially when those inns were those at which Mr. Ludlow put up, and that his defence would be incomolere un less he could show that he hal not 'lodged Mr. Lud low from place to place, or could account for having done so. This reply did not appear to please Mister, for he turned into his cell, and did not resume the con. versation. On the day of execution, as Mister was ascending the stairs (within the porter's lodge) leading to the drop, he passod the gentlem,in who hul thus conversed with him on the day of trial, and showed, by boqing his hi.a-1, that he recognised him, The cur;ous in such points may like to learn that M!ster was by nn me ins what can be called an ejucated man. lie wrote a good, plain hand, but. almost every sentence is ungranimitwal. In spe ling, he almost in variably wrote " as" instead of " has." will scarcely be h&ieved that a gentleman in Ludlow received is commission from an autograph collector in London (Wr ing him to go as far as five guive,:s, if requisit, to pro cure a letter iu Mister's own hand-writing! vV When the body was taken down from the drop, it was removed,through the porter's lodge, to a cell ad joining one of the courts at the left, and extended upon a bedstead. On removing the cap, the features were found not at all distorted. The face was nearly the natu rl colour,---lithe paler, perhaps, than in life. The eyes were closed, and on the lids being raised it ap peared that the pupils had considerably dilated. Toe lips, which bad their natural hue at first, soon grew livid. The expression of the face was stern,—precisely what has been welt described, " as unrelenting, dark, rind p issionless." It had been expected that his neck would have been broken by the tall from the drop, but, on examination, it appared that there was only a slight red streaky mark round part of the throat, which was most decidedly on the left side. The rope had got fixed upon the thyriod cartilage (immediately under the lump in the neck com• manly called the pomum Adami), and pressing on it with much force had crushed it in and caused instant death by suffocation. Such was the opinion of the me died gentlemen whom we he ird speak upon the subject. The deceased was a very well made young man, con siderably uniter the middle size, and looked more like a lad of nineteen than a man of five•and-twenty. As the body was not claimed by Mister's relatives, it was put into a handsome elm ciao, on which was a plate hearing this inscription--- "Josiah Misters, aged 25 years, 1841." At seven o'clock on Monday morning the body of Josiah Misters was buried on the north side of St. Mary's churchyart!, next the railing.

NON-INTRUSIONISTSDEFEATED. The Giiiisvew Town Ceuneil have followed the ex of their brethren in Edinburgh by returning a menthe- to the General A,seinhly known to be hostile t) the principles and policy of the Instrusion iiarty. Titus the two largest cities in Scotland have uvequivo eally expressed their approbation of the supporters of law and older in the Church, and their hostility to the conduct of the Non-Intrusion party—the clerical Chartists—whuse principle and proceedings, in resisting the law of the land as declared by the Supreme Courts, are su bversive of the foundations of civil society. The state of the vote in the Glasgow Town Council should he s eriously pondered by the Government, or rather by Mr. Fox Maule and the Lord Advocate,--for the univer sal belief among all well informed parties now is, that they are the only members of Government who support the Non-intrusionists, and that they honestly believe that by so doing they are acting in unison with the feel ings of the great body of the Liberal party. Now, if their belief as to the feelings of the Liberal party had been correct, it would have followed that all the Liberal members of the Town Council of Glasgow 'must have voted for the Non-Intrusion elder. Was it so ? Quite the reverse. There are sixteen Liberals in the Council, Churchmen and Dissenters : and of these fifteen voted against the Non-Intrusionists! And the supportersof the Non:lntrusion elders, with one exception, were all either avowed Conservatives or renegade Whigs, who, after being cast off by the Liberal constituency, were re turneii by the votes of the Conservative party, in oppo sition to Liberal candidates. These facts, if properly considered, should be sufficient to open the eyes of all who honestly believe, that by patronising the Non-In trusionists, they are supporting the Liberal party, and strengthening the Liberal Government. The very reverse supposition is the case. However good their intentions may be—which we are not, at present, calling in question—it is undeniable that they are acting in opposition to the oiidinions and wishes of an immense majority of the Liberal elec tors of Scotland ; and that by so doing they are weaken ing the power and influence of the Liberal Govern ment. It should likewise be kept in mind, in refe rence to the Glasgow election, that both of the candi dates for the eldership were Conservatives, and hence the Liberals, in uniting as they did against the Non- Intrusi racists, could not be actuated by political motives, or by any other feelings than hostility to the principles and policy of the Non-Intrusion party.—Scotsman. INSTITUTION OF ('IVIL EN GINEERS.-EXPLOSION OF BOILERS. On Tuesday evening last, at the usual weekly meet ing. among others, an abstract of a paper, by Dr. Scha fatal was read, which the author illustrated by a small apparatus he had there, to show that the bottom of the boiler was blown away before the top in case of an ex plosion ; or, rather, that the explosive force reached the lower pact before the upper, and that therefore the pre sent sAfety valve was in many cases little better than useless. Mr. Josiah Parkes made several highly interesting remarks on the Doctor's experiments, and on the causes of bursting or explosion of boilers gene rally. He gave several extraordinary instances of the diffzrent effects of explosions, and argued that there must be different causes to produce those various effects. In some cases the accidents occurred because there was no water, or but little, in the boiler ; and in others, because there was too much ; in some, because the existing safety-valve was closed ; in others, because it was suddenly opened ; and in some cases, when there was neither water nor steam in the boiler, nor fire below it. He illustrated all these cases by examples, too often not only destructive of property, but also of life, to a very great extent. After revert ing to the accident on the Norwich river in 1817, which he said was one of those that seemed to be the " stock in trade" of all writers on steam boiler explosions, Mr. Parkes spoke of the one at Stockport (we think he said) which occurred when there was neither fire, water, nor steam present. In this instance, the stoker had on Sa'urday evening emptied the boiler of its water by knocking up a plug in the bottom, thereby extinguishing the fire at the same time. He then left the place without having taken off the plate from the top of the main hole. On Sunday afternoon the unfortunate man went to clean out the boiler. He took the cover from the main hole, placed a lantern he had on the top of the boiler, and descended into into it by means of the iron ladder ; when he was nearly down he took the light, and brought it into the boiler, and that instant was sent up about a hun dred yards into the air, and fell through the roof of the dye-house. The boiler rose many feet, and fell hack in its seat. The man was scorched "as black as a negro." The engineer, who entered the yard about the time, to see that the stoker was at his work, heard him in the dye-house crying " Let me out, let me out ; I am frozen to death." He broke open the door, and the poor fellow ran past him into his own how, which was on fie premises, and died that night, after telling minutely how it all happened. Now (said Mr. Parkes), what was the cause of this explosion ? It could not have been in the boiler, for if it were, the force would have acted on all sides of it equally ; then where was it ? He continued, that for many years he had diligently collected the facts at tending every explosion be had heard of, and was preparing to put them in such a f orm as wou ld afford facilities for examination, and he thought, pro per to direct the attention of practical men to the facts, that they might arrive at some reason for the explosion, and in what manner the force acted. He spoke of an immense number of remarkable explosions, and said that in iron-works it was known that. a single drop of water would produce tremendous explosive power in this manner :—if in a puddle furnace a drop of water were placed on the red-hot slag, no eff ! .ct is produced ; but if this drop be pressed into the metal with a stick, t- en it explodes with force suf ficient not only to shatter the furnace, but also to blow the roof off the building. The drop of water could not produce steam sufficient to fill the furnace , so that he supposed that the instantaneous generation of steam from even that small quantity of water , produced .a the t w o av d e es i t n roythi evaierr,yng before it.

Repent ance, however, soon overtook the wife, and she returned few days ago to h r husband with his pocket-book and its contents intact, having preferred disposing of her own trinkots for support to adding robbery to the crime of which she hied ben guilty. The husband, says the Ga. :die des Tribunaux, gave a hearty welcome to the pocket b,ok, but having received it, shut his doors for ever against his wife.

(From the Aberdeen Herald.) An anonytnous friend of revivals has sent us the fol lowing letter, which we hesitate not to insert : " you are to treat largely on revivals in your Monthly Sheet, might I beg you to include an an swer to the following queries in it : " Whether a man may not, on being suddenly awak ened to a sense of his sin and danger of damnation, be led to cry out audibly for mercy, without being deemed extravagant or weak-minded ? " Whether there is not sufficient cause for every man, not reconcled to God, to cry out " men and brethren, what shall we do to be saved ?' " And let me implore you, Sir, to pause and not throw obloquy and ridicule on a work of so serious a na ture, and which may be productive of incalculable benefit to many. You are rot called upon—it does not come within your province as a journalist, to judge of God's means in bringing a singer to himself. You cannot, you dare not, say that a man may not feel his sins so intolerable as to cry out, and that with a loud voice—" Lord, have mercy upon me a sinner." Was the publican weak-minded or an enthusiast, when he not only cried out, but smote upon his breast, and dared not once lift up his eyes towards heaven ?—and pray, Sir, what change has taken place in our world of refinement, that we should feel pained and annoyed at the outpourings of a distressed soul ; should we not rather rejoice, and, by mingling our prayers with his, seek the glory of God in the salvation of sinners ?" Our Correspondent's queries, which he, doubt less, thinks a poser, might, with great propriety, be answered in Scottish fashion, by asking him whether a nervous girl may not be found making a noise, without having any very definite notions either of salvation or damnation, or being impressed with any feeling, beyond that which can be fully ac counted for by natural causes? The Friend to Revivals wilt not contend that the ministrations of our dozen or fourteen Evangelical clergymen, for the last four or five years, hate been altogether inefficacious. Surely they must have awakened some of their hearers to a sense of sin and danger ; and yet, so far as we are aware, the thousands of sermons that have been preached during that period have not produced a single scene like those exhibited in Mr. Parker's church. It is not denied that women, and men too, may cry out under a sermon ; but it is contended that there is no reason to believe that the instances, consequent on Mr. Burns' preaching, are the effect of anything be yond mere animal excitement, such is 'Ran ters, Jumpers, and fanatical preachers, in all ages and all places, have been able to produce. Moreover, it is conceived to be little short of blasphemy to call the unearthly and un pleasant bowling of the revival meetings a work of the Spirit. At all events the subject is one that is fairly open to inquiry ; for, there can be no doubt, as the his tory of Stephen and other reviving scoundrels prove, that many of the pretended religious awakenings were, both in their progress and results, more nearly allied to the works of the devil than the works of the Spirit. We have never said that a revival of religion is not required ; but it must be a real revival—a revival that will make our clergy more honest—their hearers less hypocritical—and men in general more virtuous. A revival that throws a few silly girls into hysterics, and causes otkers to communicate their experience to as many Holy Willies as they can get to listen to them, is of very little consequence to the world, and bears no mark of divine trigin. We can easily understand how a clique of "godly gossips," male and female, should rejoice in a move ment that supplies them, from day to day, with fresh food for scandal. It must be highly edifying to the half dozen of male teachers of female classes to hear the particulars of one factory girl's sinning —how another walked in Broad-street for " chances," and got them —how a third kept .company with such a young man—how a fourth frequented a brothel—and so on. The excitement produced by this exposure of the back parts of real society may afford a very good substitute for the excitement of balls, cards, and play going, from which the rigidly righteous are excluded by their puritanic pretensions ; but we question much whether the world be on the whole benefited by this revelation of experiences, however grateful it may be to the pious confessor.

The manor of Water Hall was held by the service of finding a man on a horse without a saddle, a bow without a string, and an arrow without a head. The descendants of Lord Grey, of Wilton, con tinued to posess these manors, and that of Church Blotch ley. above 400 years, until the attainder of Thomas Lord Grey, in 1603. King James granted them, in 1606, to George Villitrs, afterwards Dike of Buckingham. In Oliver Cromwell's time they were sold, as confiscated lands, to Sir Philip Skippoa. George Villiers, the younger Duke of Buckingham, recovered them at the Restorati.m, and, in 1674, sold them to Dr. Thomas Willis, a very eminent physician, grandfather of Mr. Browne Willis, the ar eiquary. The other manor (West Bletchley) was pur chased by Henry Grey, Ea.l of Kent, by Catherine, Duchess Dowager of Buckingham, whose son, the second Duke, having sold it to Dr. Willi, all the manors became again united.

WOOD AND OTHERS V. uOODtAKE AND HITCHING& Mr. PEMBERTON resumed his arguments yesterday, following the Attorney-General on behalf of the appellants. When the Court rose yesterday he was proceeding to cite some of the cases with respect to the course usually pursued where refer ence was made by one paper to another. In the case of Wood r. Wood the testator gave instructions for his will ; he died before the will was made, and after his death it ap peared that a trifling addition had been made to the instructions ; those instructions were propounded as a will, re ference was made to the addition, and it was declared that the two papers formed the will of the testator, and probate was granted. The class of cases cited by the Attorney-General had the strongest bearing upon this point ; in those cases re ference was made to the Statute of Frauds, and what degree of reference was necessary to papers signed to snake them con stitute a will. In the cases of Sanderson and Jackson, Shortland and Cheek, and Johnson and Dodson, the reference necessary was laid down. In Hodges and Horsfall, where there was a re ference to an agreement, it was held sufficient to refer to it " as per that agreement." Now, in what cases had it been held tint the reference was insufficient, and therefore inadmissible ? Why, in these cases, first where there was no instrument at all; secondly, where the instruments differed in some particulars ; and, thirdly, where there was more than one instrument which endorsed the reference doubtful. In Boydell v. Drummond, which was the case with respect to the subscriptions to the Illustrations to Shakspeare, there were two prospectuses which differed, and there the reference was held to be bad. In Smart v. Pragen, which was the case of a will, the papers did not answer the description referred to in the will, and there the reference was also held to be bad. In Dillon v. Harris, in " Bligh's Reports," the same prin ciple was acted upon. 1 nere the son of the tes tator had formed a connection with a female, which the testator was desirous of breaking off, and he made him sign a declaration in writing that he would break it off. The testator then made his will, in which he made provision for his son on condition that he strictly adhered to the solemn engagen ant he had entered into, and which engagement the testator said had been placed by him in the hands of his trustees and executors : the engagement was violated, and the question was whether that engagement had been properly referred to by the will; and it was held that it was not,-because it had never been placed in the hands of his trustees and executors; and in King v. Bailey, in Milne and Keene, a similar decision had been comet°. He (Mr. Pemberton) was not aware of any other authorities turning upon a different principle ; he had not found any case where a plain reference had been made to an existing agree ment, where the instrument produced answered the descrip tion, and where no other instrument was produced that the evi dence had not been received.' For a collection of all the cases on these points, he would refer their Lordships to Mr. Wig ram's book on Extrinsic Evidence, where all the cases on the subject would be found. Now, applying the principle laid • down in those cases to the case at present be fore their Lordships, their Lordships must see whether B did refer to any paper at all, and if so, did the paper A answer that description ? and 3dly, had there been any other paper pro duced that answered that de,cription. Now, first, did Braes to any paper at all? In the first clause in the will, the positive clause, Mr. Wood said, " I declare my wish to be, that my executors should have all my property that I have not disposed of. I wish all my estates, real and per sonal, to go to them and their heirs." Was it possible, there fore, to deny that there was a reference to a previous paper? There was a reference to persons of a certain description, of a description that could not be created except by writing ; he giving to those persons filling that character the whole of his personal estate, and also the whole of his real estate. But supposing it was said that this referred to executors intended to be appointed, what were the next words? Why, " I give them all my estates, real and personal." Now, could such a gift as that take effect to persons to be named afterwards? Lord LYNDHURST—How would it be if it was executed in the presence of three witnesses ? Mr. PEMBERTON—If might then perhaps amount to a gift ; but when a gift was made, was it not probable that the parties in whose favour that gift was to operate, had already been se lected. Unless the parties had been selected, who was to be benefited by it? and if the testator had not appointed his ex ecutors, for what earthly purpose could he make the gifts. In the present case the testator had determined that there should be executors ; he had determined that there should be more than two, and what he said was that he gave all his property, real and personal, among his executors. The will could answer no purpose whatever if it was to have reference to parties that had not been named. Nothing was snore common than a. gift to executors in their character of executors ; but he (Mr. Pem berton) had never met with a case in which a testator had made a devise to executors, and then stated who those executors were in another instrument. He would beg of their Lordships to look to the other parts of the evidence, and when they did so, he would leave it to them to say whether there was not a distinct reference to the executors ? When one document referred to the other in this manner, what other instrument were they to produce ? For what purpose could reference be made to the instructions in this will, except for the purpose of giving effect in some manner to those in structions ? Did any man ever commence his will by saying " This will is begun in accordance with my instructions ?" Why then did the testator refer to these instructions? Because the will with reference to these instructions was a perfectly good will in every particular, because it supplied the only thing wanted in the will, and that which was wanting, and the ab sence of which made it inoperative. But then how was the will itself imperfect? Not because it did not contain a dispo sition of the testator's real estate, but because the testator had not expressed his whole intention. It showed an expression of intention, but an imperfect expression, and consequently by the rules of the Ecclesia,tical Courts they must inquire whether there was any instrument by which the imperfection of the will might be supplied. He (Mr. Pemberton) showed the paper by which this defect was cured. Such a paper should be entitled " Instructions." It should contain the appointment of executors, it should be called Instructioni, be cause the will referred to " Instructions." It should contain the appointment of executors, because that was wanting to complete the will. Now, what did they find in paper A ? It agreed, in each and every particular. with the instrument to which reference was made. It was entitled " Instructions," and it contained the appointment of Execu tors. And, further, it. contained a prospective reference to B. It contained an allusion to the disposition of his real estate by a subsequent instrument. Nor was there anything inconsistent in this ? It was said there was this inconsistency, that there was a gift of the personal estate by A, and also by in B. Was there anything inconsis tent or improbable that the testator, when completing the in strument a most formal manner, _ should repeat the disposi tion of his personal property? But it was not a repetition except in this sense, that it gave authenticity to the same persons. If, then, these papers were in all res pects consistent, did riot the evidence before their Lordships prove that these gentlemen must have been his executors? All the evidence as to the appointment of executors was equally evidence as to the bestowal of the bounty. Whenever testator declared that he appointed executors, it was in evidence that he intended his executors should take the bounty, the declaration of the one being always accompanied by a declaration of the other. The At torney-General had gone so fully through the evidence that he (Mr. Pemberton) would not trouble their Lordships at any length by commenting upon it. But he would men tion that with respect to that of Mary Wilkins, which had not been referred to, she deposed to an important conversa tion with respect to the executors and the bounty, and that on the very night the conversation took place she mentioned it to a person named Jones. The accuracy of her statement was brought to the test by cross-examination, but no other attempt was made to dispute it. There were no less than eight witnesses, each of whom confirmed the evi dence as to the appointment of executors and the disposal of the bounty. Mr. Sutton deposed that testator told him that he had made provision for the payment of his debts. The Learned Judge said this did not prove anything with respect to the bounty, but it proved the appointment of executors, for it could only be by their appointmens he could make provision for payment of his debts. Mr. Stephens, who had an important interest in the settlement of his affairs, also de posed that testator said to him, " Tell your father that I have made my will, and left my property to four individuals ; they are my executors, and will pay you and your father and every body else. Two of them are Alderman Wood and Jac o b . " Now how did this affect the argument? They wanted to know whether testator had appointed four execu tors, and whether these were the persons. He told another person that he had made this provision, be tween the Ist and the 4th December. Was this witness to be discredited? He had given the strongest proof of the accuracy of his statement, for he had instructions to withdraw his father's deposit of 2,0001., in testator's bank, if testator's explanation was not satisfactory, but he considered it to be so, and left the money. The Learned Judge said ' this declaration stood alone, and was the only one made to any witness in which reference was made to four persons as sharing his property. and that when he referred to Alderman Wood and Jacob, he thought testator could hardly have referred to his will made in Decem ber, 1834, but to some other document which he might have issued in the intermediate time. The Learned Judge said, moreover, that he thought it was only a declaration of the appointment of executors, arid did not go beyond that. He (Mr. Pemberton) did not wish anything further. He did not wish to get evidence o f testator's intention respecting the family. The proof of that intention was unimpeached, and the question then was, whether the testator recognized the appointment of executors who should wind up his affairs ? The evidence on this point was confirmed by the evidence of Stanley and Webb. His repeated declarations to this effect were the subject of general conversation in the city of Glou cester, which appeared to have been greatly occupied with his affairs. It never appeared that he had named to any person that he had appointed any other executors. Not one witness proved that testator ever hinted at any others. Why then were these witnesses to be disbelieved, since they were all of them persons as much entitled to belief as any in the highest station? He (Mr. Pemberton) did not care whether B re ferred to A or not; what he wanted to know was, whether testa tor by any paper appointed executors, since the evidence was beyond an doubt in favour of these parties, and proved that they were entitled to probate of the will. With respect to the evidence of Mrs. Goodlake, the Learned Judge disregarded her decla rations, because he could not believe she was opposed to the will; but this he (Mr. Pemberton) thought was the very reason for believing them. The Learned Judge fell into an inaccuracy that pervaded his whole argument. He thought they propounded paper A as instructions, and as if Mr. Wood had signed it as instructions, but they did no such thing. On the contrary, they were prepared to show that it was not his in structions, but prepared in consequence of his instructions. It was entitled " Instructions," but they had never propounded it, considered it, or imagined it as instructions in a legal sauce. If they had, the Learned Judge would have been correct. He submitted, in the first place, that if A referred to B, it was plainly established, and if it did not, it was not suppressed by B. The first question was, was this pape r a testamentary in of strument disposing of personal estate ; it was calle t d was called ` as instructions for the solicitor to prep are a will"— wa f s i%I what t'. C instructions for the will of James Wood ; but it Nvatswu'attse, raloydunim portant what it was called, the questionwhat , a were its objects and effect?

There could be no doubt that the paper was cle arl y a good wi ll, an d it was open to no other ambiguity than this, that it was called " instructions." It was impossible that there could be a more fOrmal will than that paper to the extent to which it went ; but supposing that it was instructions to the extent to which the Learned Judge had gone, could those instructions be suppressed if not ex hausted by the will ? In supp ort of his propositi on t h e Learned Counsel ci ted the cases of Huddart v. Hud dartexpresshad n ot provision. and Tovi e v. Castles. Now supposing the paper B t o bsoa. will, wh at. eith w e as r b t y he im fa p c i t iea ? the formed paper, Now was there any inconsistency between the papers A and B ? The only inconsistency was that under A the parties took as t e ams in common, while under B they did not. Then it w as said they had not proved their case in the mode alleged, but he (Mr. Pemberton) thought it had been shown that they had in the strictest terms, modo et forma. The Learned Counsel, after citing !evert' cases for the purpose of proving thst the MORN ING EDITION course they had adopted was consistent with theeeegulei s praes‘e , tics. of the Ecclesiastical Court, submitted that Riley bildicom4,7ll pletely established the validity of the paper. . - trouble their Lordships upon the other panf '4" 1 11, would not trouble them with any observatiete es , because it did not affect the validity . : se s s. • He would not make any observations to ie v s s Pee:: because the Learned Judge in the Court be • e 4 paper to be so clearly an invalid and ins • according to all the rules of law and equity, that e ia think it necessary to inquire even into its caniellatiees• r J %- had not heard and could not discover upon the Pliper'show that case was to be brought forward, and he should, therefore, leave his Learned Friend the Attorney-General to deal with it in his reply. He would say nothing with respect to the misconduct of some of the parties, and he was content to take the rule which the Learned Judge below had laid down for himself, and the rule by which their Lordships should be guided in coming to a decision on the present case. He was content to say, as the Learned Judge had said, that he would not make any presumption on the part of the executors ; the Learned Judge had said that he would accept of no explanation ; he did not ask of their Lordships •to accept of any, but he did ask their Lordships not to give effect to the circumstances that had taken place further than the Learned Judge in the Court below had done ; lie asked their Lordships not to permit, however gross the con duct of certain parties might be, their indignation with respect to that conduct to bear upon the legal consideration of the case ; he asked their Lordships not to hold that any transactions that took place on the part of the testator in 1836 affected the validity of an instrument executed in 1834 ; and in conclusion he trusted that their Lordships would not upon any ground of suspicion confirm a decision that was against the fixed and settled prin ciples of the law, to which all the subjects of the realm were bound to pay implicit obedience. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL then rose to address their Lordships. He appeared as Counsel for those parties who claimed under the codicil that had been so often referred to by the Learned Judge in the Court below. He thought it necessary in the outset to call the attention of their Lordships to the state of the record and the parties connected therewith. He, on the part of the legatees, was only anxious to have their Lordships' judgment in such aform as would be effectual ; and for that purpose it was necessary that their Lordships should know. the position in which the parties stood. As the case now stood, referring to the proceedings, the following was the state of the parties. Upon Goodlake appearing to oppose the will the executors admitted her title wHiout proof, and she gave her evidence in favour of the will and took an active part with the executors in opposing the legatees. At a subsequent period Mr. Hitchings came forward, and said he was the next of kin ; he opposed the will and codicil, but his opposition to the codicil was very different to the opposition of Mrs. 'Good lake. As the case at present stood, Mr. Hitchings' title and Mrs. Goodlake's title as next of kin was nothing, and no t p b e e rs i r o n L w o was s e b n i p t i s tl eadffitrom probatethe i u e d x g c l z e theta of extbeecutcnors S Court rt below,houdl whoever claimed to be next of kin would have to go to the Court below, and go through all the proceedings, as if the present suit had never been instituted. The exe cutors here were uneer a judgment adverse to them, and it might be doubtful, therefore, how far they could oppose the codicil at all, because until the judgment was reversed:they were out of Court. Supposing their Lordships affirmed the codicil, he was afraid when the next of kin went down to pray administration, they would not again agitate the codicil, and again, he was afraid if their Lo rdshi p s re j ected the codicil," that those who had claimed under it would not be bound by it. It was, therefore, most important for their Lordships to consider what the state of the present record was, and whether they would perform their duty by deciding upon the will, or whether that decision should extend to the called. He doubted very much whether, as the record now stood, any person could be heard with refsrence to the codicil but the executors. He should therefore proceed to argue the case upon the will. The ATTORNET-GENERAL submitted that his friend had no locus standi in that Court to attack the will, but that his argu ments must be limited to reversing She decree against the codicil. The SOLICITOR- GENERAL apprehe nded that this objection came too late. Lord LYNDHURSt.—We think, Mr. Solicitor, that yon may go on, as you have a different interest, though concurring In one object. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL then proceeded. There had been a system in the conduet of this case perfectly consistent from the first step to the last. He should now, with as much brevity as he could, present their Lordships with the'details on which the question before them arose. His Learned Friend introduced his clients as persons who had very industriously courted the favour of Mr. Wood, with a view t i their pecuniary benefit. Upon this he should make no observation. These per sons were anxiously waiting for the pecuniary benefit that was to accrue to them from the death of the testator. There was, in his }muse, Mr. Surman, who had unlimited access to all his papers. The testator was described' by the witnesses as being ex tremely careless respecting his papers. Ann Lewis said that she supposed Mr. Surman had access to his bureau and pri vate depositories; that nothing was locked up ; that he had access to everything in Mr. Wood's lifetime, and she supposed had .the keys when he"died. He called attention to these circumstances be cause his Learned Friend said, no other will is produced. No, it was probable that his clients had taken care to furnish his Learned Friend with that observation. They had amp:e opportunity for doing so. But such an observation came from them with a very ill-grace and with as little force. Ann Lewis and another witness had since left the town and had never returned to it. Another witness, Wm. Moore, testified to the same effect. This person was a clerk of the tes tator, and said that he had opened his drawers and looked at his papers frequently, either for curiosity or some other purpose. Daniel Smith also gave similar evi dence as to the safety of papers, which, perhaps, Osborne or Surman might have an interest to destroy. He declared that testator never carried a key about him, that there was Not a key belonging to all his deposits, that was not accessible to any person in thehouse. It was plain, therefore, that his papers were easily accessible. Mr. Wood having arrived at the age of 130, became seriously unwell, and it appeared that his two executors were in town, but that a very good watch was kept over the old gentleman that the first intimation might be given of anything that might purpoi t approaching death. Accordingly Osborne wrote a letter to one of the executors, which, it ap peared from their evidence, was despatched by post, and which was as follows:—" I should be obliged if ycu would mention to Mr. Chadborn, as he wished to be in formed, in case anything happened in his absence to Mr. Wood, that he was this morning taken so poorly as not to be able to dress himself, and that he has such a tightness on the chest as almost to prevent him from breathing." This was simply directed " Matthew Wood, Esq., M.P., private." Now if their Lordships would turn to Lewis's evidence, they would find that this indisposi tion was that he had a fit on Sunday, and had fallen out of bed. It appeared that Mr. Chadborn did not go down until Tuesday; and he (the Solicitor-General) could not help thinking that, in the meantime, Mr. Chadborn was proving himself a man of business, and informing himself of the most expeditious way of proving a will, lest he .should find to his inexpressible grief that Mr. Wood had died before he had an opportunity of condolin with him. However, on that day Mr. Chadborn and sir. Phillpotts arrived in Gloucester, and found Mr. Wood very unwell. It appeared that on the Wednesday before Mr. Chadborn had at his house the paper, and during some conver sation respecting it, Mr. Phillpotts is suggested to have said, " They ought to be together ;" and Mr. Chadborn, think ing what ought to be should be, put them together. If it had not been for subsequent occurrences he (the Solicitor,. General) should have thought that Mr. Chadborn had taken an undue advantage of that gentleman. However Mr. Chadbom said that paper A was brought to him, and he put them together. He (the Solicitor-General) would be glad to know who brought it, where it came from, and for what purpose. But in this momentous case, and this momentous part of it, this paper A is never seen until the testator was utterly incapable of preventing any advantage being taken to the prejudice of his es tate. It was desirable to know when it was first seen. However, Mr. Chadborn said it was brought, and no more ; and he affixes it to the other, seals it up, and writes on the envelope " The Will of James Wood, Est;}., 2d and 3d December, 1834." His Learned Friend suggested this was not done without the testator's sanction. But when they arrived at his house, they find him quite incompetent to communicate with them. The first moment they bound him insensible was the first moment they put their intentions in execution. It was said that they did not know that they were doing anything improper, then lie supposed they did not whisper about, that there was no aid ere of anti a c a a t t n e d m l e p t o n a t t h c c o n w e b e l a l e . m e nAtl. l th H e o p w a e r v ti e e r s te it N r v e a s s te s d ea w l-ed r were there, then it was replaced. If he were addressing a Jury it might be necessary to remark on the character of this transaction, but it was quite unnecessary to do so to their Lordships: It must have been done with the intention of deliberately im posing upon the Court. His Learned friend had said that no other document had appeared. His (the Solicitor-General's) answer to that was, your conduct has been such as to prevent it. You introduce, in the most improper manner, papers that ought not to have been introduced ; you were professional men, and knew what the effect of your actions would be. These papers were united. How many persons consented to that he would not presume to judge. Was not this a moment above every other in which they must have known that the testator's papers ought to have been sacred? These proceedings took place openly in the room in which the executors were assembled. Could any person be in the roost without observing their meddling with the papers in . a way calculated to excite atten tion ? Was there any doubt of the testator's condition ? His Hon. Friend said that the executers had been charged with murder ; that was a stionp; word, but look at Mr. Z - :other's evidence. They would find that on the night of Tuesday they were almost an hour dragging the old gentleman up to bed. He did not find that Mr. Cother was aware of that until after his death. But hi s con diti on was very serious, and he (the Solicitor-General) should say alarming ; yet the old g M en tleman was not seen by any human being except r. Cother and the patties interested. A charge was made that his friends were not aware of his condition, well founded evidence would see how far the charge was Ii and that it was concealed from them. Those who had read the Mr. C o ther testified that Sir Matthew Wood c•a Fd th u a pon him at three or four o'clock in the afhternniuoann,daiid said would be gl t a n d e if ht prevailed upon Mr. Wood to see he ld TI • •he the following day. Mr. Smith said that he the afternoon of (Mr. Cother) would do so as soon a cou . us was in ' was in the habit of calling to see the deceased ; that he heard be was ill, and we nt there between five and six o clock in th e afternoon. Th e deceased was in b ed, and Ann Nicholl s in his room, Osborne in the warehouse, Ann Lewis in the parlour, and Surma" in the shop. That seeing a sofa in the parlour, but foundt t hey ey his or Tkh h e a he asked w hat was the matter, and that Surman replied, the d ecea sed had a cold. This was after Mr. Cother had seen him; that hearing a n oise over head, he (Smith) asked if deceased k ep t his bed, to which Surman answere d he was up in his ro om, i a s n d d y t ing therefore Smith S sh m e i t r h ep w li e ed n i t n h t i o nk his o room, to, much altered. That Smith said to An n Ni c h o ll s, I till "urea Osbor ne d y i ng ; b c u a t m e h e upreplaiendd that Smith he was told bad, but that it was expected hica dn.t. feat ure s the effect of the medicine, and th a t h e deceased d was e . ceased would be relieved by it. There were many modes o f relief, but the evide nce their representations his friends went to show . t hat from ntig t have gone esva3-with the impression that he w as only poorly when he was in the act of illness was concealed was proved by Mr. Co tner, who testified that Alderman Wood requested that de ceased's medicine might be prepared without his name being mentioned in the prescription, and that according l y he, Mr. Cother, personally ordered the medicine requir ed to be pre pared at a neighbouring druggist's without writing any pre scription. The reason assigned by Alderman Wood was that they wished t o p reven t a ny c onfusion in the bank. Mr. Wood fil e d charging them with being on the died and the executors immediately co mmenced the examina tion of his papers. An allegation was premises at seven o'clock in th e mornin g . The answer of Mr. Chadborn was that he was there at eight o'clock in the morning, upo n which an exception was taken that he had not answered whether he was there at seven. Si r Herbert. Jenner said that he had thought that objection hyper critical, but subsequent events showed how cautious the Court ought to be in receiv in g evidence, and he congratulated himself that he had acced ed to the request of the Learned Counsel and allowed the excep tion to be taken. The answer then was that . he (Chadborn) was not there at se v en nor before eight o'clock. dehTheberaetinsewnef was given on oath and after the most perfect His Learned Friend said that Ann Lewis 'did not contradict the other witnesses on thii point, but she con. tradicted Mr. Chadborn. Now, it appeared that Mr. Bussell, a builder, with two of his men, were, between five and six in the morning, on the scaffolding of a house opposite, and saw iii..
