COMMON COUNCIL. THE CORN LAWS. A Court of Common Council was held yester , day at Guildhall, on the state of the Corn Laws. The Loan Mayon, on taking the Chair, stated, that he had called the Court together that day, and had also appointed a Meeting of the Livery for to-morroW, to take into serious consideration ' one of the most important questions that ever came before them. The situation in which he was placed as Chief Magistrate, made it his par ticular duty to watch over, and regulate the price of bread, that most essential article in the food - of this great city and having learned that certain resolutions respecting . the Corn Laws were proposed tor the consideration of the Legislature, it would have been, he conceived, a dereliction of duty, had he not called a Special Meeting of the Representatives of the Metropolis, for the purpose of submitting such Resolutions to their . serious attention. It had been askid by some persons, whether the proposed Resolutions, • if adopted, would he attended with much incon veniency to the - Public ?—that is, whether rais ing the minimum price of Wheat from 68s. per qr. to 80s. per qr. would prove inconvenient at this time! To put such a question, his Lordship - observed, was neither more nor less than asking', whether raising the price of bread from 10d. to 1211. or from 16d. to ISd. per quartern loaf, would be at tended with inconvenience to the Mille ? This was the real stare of the question which the Com mon Council had met to discuss. He had called the Court together for that Sole p u rpose, an d a ll he recittested was; thzit they . should 'bring their minds to consider the subject' With that degree 'of serious attention which its itntipitance required. Mr. .TAcxs, after pointing out the injurious effects which might be expected from the propos-` ed alteration in the . Coth LawS, moved a 'series of Resolutions, concluding with one for petitioning Parliament against- any 'change . in the present Systm._ • Mr. FAvra. seconded . the Mr. DtxoN, Mr..WIII,TE, and Mr. WAITIIMAN, followed on the same Sir WILLIAM -CURTtS, Sir JAiIES SHAW, and ncl t. spo%t also its fit;c ? ur of the Resolutions and the Petition; which were carried - tiMutimously. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, FEE. 22. CRIM. CON. WALKER V. PALETHORPE. This was int action fim. &ins Con. - brought by the Keeper of the•Perey - Cotice-house, against a Cle: in the Exchequer Bill-Oltice. It appeared that the plaintiff was now above 50 year of age, and that he was originally waiter at a bagnio under Covent-Gartien_Piazza, where heanarried his first wife, the bar-maid of the same,place: his second wife was nursery-maid to the first, by whom he had a child grown up; and it was not till his pre sent_ wife became the widow of a person of the name of Willis, that the plaintiff 's connection with her begani; he then kept her in lodgings at Cam den Town, and had one child by her before he married, she being at that time pregnant of an other. This was in 1801, when the woman was nearly 30 years of age ; and though her public conduct since as mistress of the coffee-house was proved' to be correct by many of the plaintiff's male acquaintances and servants, yet it appeared that her connexion with the defendant, who was an intimate acquaintance of the_ plaintiff, and was in the habit of visiting him and his wife, began fours ago, when' it was carried on at the Key, in Chandos-street, whether the plain tiff's wife and the defendant were in the habit of going every Wednesday and Saturday morning for an hour and a half : and they were so regular in their resorts to the Key, that the waiters- and chambermaids of that house, who call all their customers. by, characteristic or feigned names, used to call them the market people, from the cir cumstance of their always coining on Covent garden market days. It happened, that one of these waiters bad before lived at the Percy Cot fee-house, and the parties were upon one occa sion watched into the Key by a porter at the Percy. With the exception of the plaintiff's origin, and the commencement of his acquaintance with his second wife., and that. one of the witnesses proved he played at cards on Sundays, the plain tiff came before the Conn without reproach : lie was proved to be an indulgent husband, and to have lo nd comfort in the society of his wife and children: .he had no suspicion of herlong infidelity: the waiter at the Key described her as a dashing woman when he lived with • her ; but upon the whole it did •not appear that she dressed or behaved in,a man ner. :unbecoming her situation at the bar of the plaintiff's coffee-house. Evidence was gone into as to the amount of the defendant's income, the greater part of which appeareti to arise from his office of Collector of the Property Tax, about to expire ; but Lord ELLEN2oRovOti thought this an imusaterial inquiry ; for the maxim of :awavas, he who. could .not pay in his purse must pay in his person." .The Jury found for the plaintiif— 'Damages 3001, „ , /hIPWAL PARLIAMENT; . HOUSE OF- tonD., , :w .7SSSDAY, FEO. 22. The bearing of the ,appeal§v. Sthap v. .Ilicherdyke, and Stewart v. Ker, were finished, and juiignicat postponed. le the Irish Appeal, Phayre . v. —, jude - ,inent was 'postponed' for want of a necessary party. . . Lord MONTFORT panved, that Mrs. Lee's..Petition.should pow Lie taken. into consideration ;. and moved also, that her husband be ordered to pay her SOL in order to prOcure law advisers, &c. This motion was agreed to. • • Lord GRANTLEY presented a from Croydon, in Surrey, against the intended Corn Regidntion, and stating, if we understood hiaa correctly, that 'he - tin:lSt very - 1'1 , 1,h change his opinion before. he could conaur;apany thing which would have the direct etfect of raising the price of grain.— Laid ,ou.the table.---Adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS.. Mr DAWIES.GIDDY obtained leave to. bring in a Bill to ascertain the Expense of maintaining the Poor. Mr. Sheriff Leigh presented a'Petition'frtnii the - Cori:mon Council against the - Corn Regulations, and .another against the Bill fur the Abolition of Gaol Fees, Ordered to lie on the table. • Mr. BENNET moved the second reading of the Gaol Fees - Abolition Bill. • Sir-W. CURTIS was surprized that the Hon. Gentleman, did not pay . any more attention to the piayer of the petition, which objected to the clause exempting the prisons in the neighbourhood of the metropolis. If the King's :Bench, the Fleet, and the Marshalsea, were excluded from the opera tion of the Act, then the London priseins would • be crowded persons would be flecking from the other gaols for the sake of the more comfortable living in Newgate : he thought it was hard that such a burden should be imposed on the City ; and should therefore move, that the Bill be read a second time this day six months: Mr. BENNET replied. Sir JAMES SHAW said that his only objection to the Bill was, that the London prisons would be nurse and InOre crowded than the, were at present, if the gaols in the neigh bourhood of London were exempted. Mr. HOLFORU insisted that the exempted gaols were ne cessarily excluded, as not being benefited by the county rates. lIOLME :WAINER observed, th a t it was intended by a future measure - to embrace the prisons now exempted. Mr. Alderman ATKtNS insisted that the City Magistrates had, in compliance with the wishes of the House, done every ' thing in their power to rectify all the' alleged faults and abuse Sin the London prisons. After some furtherconveisatitio,.Sir,W. CURTIS declining to divide the House, the motien of Mr. Beane!. was carried, • and the Bill was read a second time: • Mr. PEEL asked whether it was the intention of the Hon. Gentleman to extend the to Ireland?' Mr. BENNET answered that he shoald leave this to more competent persons.' • The Bill was ordered to be •connaitted on Monday next. Mr. STEPHEN'rose, and said it was with extreme reinct ltnce that he ev:a complain:al of any rauts.a2presentationi of what he said in thit Hotise, but he bud been so greatly Inia conceived in what he delivered the preceding day upon the Bill of an Hon. Baronet, that he owed it. to himself to enter, into an explatiation. He NV 3S astonished, üban being told, before he Lad seen any of the Papers, that he had ad initt'ed in that House; according to th e Report in a ;respecta ble Morning Paper, the existence of ,those very abuses in the Court of Chancery, which itaYas the ohje'et of the &I to in quire into. Nothing, however- could he further f rom the rea l fact than that statem e nt. What he did say was, that, in his apprehension, from the very first, tin sufficient grouiui bad been laid for the Commission, either as to • evidence or :isser tion ; but as something had been glanced at the:Masters in Chancery (than whom, as a body, a more •honottrable class: of persons did nut exist), if any one would say that there was the slightest suspicion attached to their conduct, lie would vote fur the inquiry, and an Hunourable - and Learned Gen tlemaa having hinted those 'suspicions in a general way, he had aecurdinglyataken up his pledge. .tie was, quite satisfied that the mistake was merely the effect of inadverteac:., and he wished nothing more than the explanation he had given. • Sir ROBERT HERON gave notice, that on Tuesaay next he should move for leave to, leave to bring in a Bill to alter the local acts relative to the Mainteaance of the Poor. The Helston Election'Bill went through a Committee; the Chairman reported prOgress, and obtained leave to sit again. _ LOANS 'AND NEW TAXES. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER rose to move that certain Resolutions, which had heel), omitted on 'Mon day night, should Ice referred to the Committee on Ways ad,ii -MeanS. Mr. GRENFELL asked whether the Chancellor of the Ex chequer, who had hinted that Lu4Zl5 might be necessary fur the four next, 3'ears, conceived that the Taxes now raise4i, and to be raised, would provide fur - the charges of the Loan for the four years, or whether new TaXes would he , necessary ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER - Said, be could give no other answer than the one already given, that the ar rears of the unfunded debt were provided fur. On the best calculation which he could.make, the Taxes would provide for the Lean of the present and the foi:owing - ;ears. It the peace establishment should continue at 19 mililtins, it would be ne ces'sary to raise an additional sum of 4 minions. Mr. TIERNEY asked, whether the War Taxes were includ ed in these Taxes ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER.—CertainIy ; 'it would be for Parliament hereafter to determine how far it might be necessary to continue these Taxes. • • Mr. PONSONBY remarked that the House tvas voting, not merely the supplies of this year, but of four years to come, without any information (m the sulrjea of the intended Pem Establislunent. • • The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, he should take the earliest opportunity of c;:plainnig that sohjf:ct : at ptesent, however, the Supplies asked for related only to tilt.' present year. :Sir GILBERT HEATEICOTE wished to know whether any part of the now Taxes was to . be clsclleatvd to the rep,ir ing and strengthening the Fortresses in what is called the Belgian frontier. The CHANCELLOR of EXCUEQUER answerel, I hat it was not possible at present to *gi;:e any eaplanativa no that subject. NEWSPAPERS.
