Their lordships delivered judgment in private in this case. ELIVES V. ELIVES-A.PPHAL-JUDGMENT. This was an appeal from a decision of Vice-Chancellor Sir John Stuart, dismissing the plaintiff's bill with costs. The plaintiff filed his bill for a restoration or renovation of the original trusts of his grandfather's settlement, who devised his estates in Northampton to trustees to raise £lOO,OOO as a provision for the benefit of the 'plaintiff and his three daughters. Lord Justice Knight Bruce was of opinion that the de cree of the Vice .Chancellor was quite correct, and dismissed the appeal with costs. Lord Justice Turner was entirely of the same opinion. APPEAL JUDGMENT-CLAYTON V. CLARK. This was an appeal from part of an original decree of Vice-Chancellor Sir John Stuart of an order made by his Honour refusing the motion to vary the Chief Clerk's certifi cate, or to dismiss the bill, and part of an order made on further consideration of the cause. The bill was filed by the infant and next friend as execu tor, under the trusts of the will for the administration of her estate. His Honour converted the motion into an inquiry whether the suit was for the benefit of the infant, and to take accounts. Lord Justice Turner was of opinion that it was for the benefit of the infant to be made a ward of Chancery, and no inquiry was necessary on that account. There should be no costs to the next friend of that motion or suit up to the time that the decree was made. Mr. Lewis had undertaken to discharge the mortgage. The order, there fore, must be varied, in so far as it ordered an inquiry to ascertain whether the suit was, for the benefit of the in fant; also, on further directions, as to the next friends. Costs prior to the decree, and no costs subsequently, and no costs of the appeal. Lord Justice Knight Bruce concurred. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Commissioner Evans.) THE SHOREDITCH BANK FAILURE: IN RE DAVIES AND TROUGIITON. To-day was appointed for the adjourned certificate meet ing in the matter of these bankrupts. Upon the last occa sion the enquiry was postponed in order that absent wit nesses might attend. The accounts, by Messrs. Quilter and Ball, upon which the bankrupts passed their examination, have already been published. Mr. Linklater appeared for the assignees, Mr. Edward Hart (Hart Brothers and Hayles) appeared for the credi tors, Mr. Laurance for the bankrupt Davies, and Mr. C. E. Lewis (Harrison and Lewis) for Troughton. Mr. Linklater stated that the witnesses were now present, but before calling them he wished to put a few questions to Mr. Troughton, and that gentleman corrected some errors made by him in his evidence upon a former occasion. A number of witnesses have yet to be called (Messrs. Evans amongst them), and the case is expected to last the whole day. 1?AIL WAY INTELLIGENCE. OSWESTRY AND NEWTOWN. An adjourned Wharncliffe meeting of this company was held at Welchpool on Saturday, Captain J. W. Johns in the chair. The Secretary having read the notices, The CHAIRMAN alluded in the first instance, to the loss the board had sustained in the death of their chairman, Mr. David Pugh, M.P., and said that the board had unani mously passed a resolution expressive of their deep sympa thy for, and condolence with, the famil3 of their late chair man. The first business had reference to the Aberystwith and Coast of Wales Railway, and he called upon the solici tor to read the clauses as they affected this company. Mr. Howell (solicitor to the company) then read the heads of the Aberystwith and Coast of Wales Railway Bill, and explained the clauses. The CHAIRMAN then moved a formal resolution approv ing the bill for making railwaysfromAberystwith to various places in the counties of Cardigan, Montgomery, Merioneth, and Carnarvon. This was seconded by Mr. J. P. WILDING and carried. The Solicitor having read the heads of a bill for making a railway from the Oswestry and Newton Railway at Oswestry to the London and North •Western Railway at Whitchurch, The CHAIRMAN moved a formal resolution approving the bill. Mr. SALISBURY pointed out fhe advantage of the pro posed line to the Oswestry and Newtown Company. Since the committee of the House of Commons had decided upon that bill the Great Western Company had possessed them selves of the West Midland lines, and had by that act be- come competitors for the traffic of that district. Subse quentle the London and North-Western Company, in their own defence, had possessed themselves of the bhrewsbury and Hereford Railway, giving the shareholders 6 per cent. Both of those companies were thus competing for the traffic of the district, but as long as they obtained an outlet be yond Oswestry they were in a good position and able to make terms. The great companies had overlooked the Os • westry and Whitchurch country, avid if the promoters could carry their bill through the House of Lords it would be a great property. The resolution approving the bill was then passed. Mr. WHALLEY, M.P., then moved a resolution expres sive of the sympathy the shareholders felt for the family of the late Mr. Pugh (their chairman) under their recent be reavement. Mr. SALISBURY seconded the resolution, which was car ried nem. con., and the proceedings terminated. THAMES EMBANKMENT AND RAILWAY. Yesterday the Commissioners resumed their inquiry at the offices of the Commission, in Victoria-street, Westmin ster, the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor in the chair. Mr. Yeats attended in the interests of the Temple, and Mr. Newton on behalf of the wharfingers, and were told by the Lord Mayor, in reply to inquiries, that there was every desire on the part of the Commissioners to preserve the Temple front intact, and that both their case and that of the wharfingers and other vested and propertied interests along the route of the proposed embankment would be fully considered so soon as the Commissioners had inquired into the merits of the principal plans. Major J. H. WIELAND explained his plan for a River Thames embankment from Westminster to London Bridge, with a raised esplanade on the embankment from Hunger ford to London-bridge 80 feet wide, at the level of the Strand, with warehouses contiguous to the embankment, and with shops along the esplanade. He would also have a winter garden along the entire front of the Temple-gar dens, under the esplanade, 80 feet wide and 35 feet high, and enclosed on either side with glass in cathedral-like form, upon Gothic arches. He also proposed an embank ment on the south side, from Westminster .bridge to St. Olave's Church, Southwark, and connecting one railway with the railways on that side of the water. Had not made any exact estimate of cost of carrying out the scheme. Captain W. S. Aloonsom, C.E., explained his plan for embanking the river between Westminster-bridge and Queenhithe, with available spaces for public purposes along the top of the embankment, varying from 150 to 60 feet for roadway, footpaths, or promenades, public buildings, wharves, and pri% ate accommodation. The plan provided also a subway for sewer at the bottom, for a tramway above, and road and wharfage space over. The estimated cost of carrying out the plan would be £588,562 ; but, upon the other hand, he estimated the receipts to arise from the sale of reclaimed' lands and frontages at about £600,000, exclu sive of £50,000 to be contributed by the Metropolitan , Board of Works. Mr. W. AUSTIN described his proposition for " the Im provement of the Thames by Dispollution," and his method of constructing embankment walls with conduits for sew age below mud surface. Mr. STANFORD proposed a plan for an embankment on both sides of the Thames from Milbank to St. Paul's wharf, with a promenade, carriage way, wharves, docks, and railway. Mr. J. EDMESTON gave an elaborate description of the road he proposed to run from 'Westminster to London bridge, upon a river wall as far as Southwark-bridge, and thence to London -bridge upon iron piles, so as to allow craft to pass under the wharves, with access is landing places beneath for the use of the owners of river side pro perty. The railway would run from Westminster .bridge to Queenhithe, inside the river wall, and be continued in a tunnel to Fenchurch-street Station, and be also united with all the railways north and south of the river. Oppo site Temple-gardens, and wherever desirable, an open arcade would be formed, which would not obstruct the view. The railway behind the river wall would be about 8 feet above low water. The intercepting sewer through tue 0c...a 0..1 I.l..c.stypet would pass beneath the rail way or river wall as was found to be most convenient. The estimated cost of the entire construction, exclusive of the railway, was £450,000. Mr. Bidder, in conjunction with Mr. T. E. Harrison and Mr. G. R. Stephenson, submitted a descriptive outline of his plan, the main features of which consisted in the esta blishment of a broad embankment carried out from the existing shore, with docks occupying several acres, approached mb ent by and within the line of the shore the additional breadth andeaukm reg th u e lar locks, existing of ground would be applied to the building of warehouses, the frontages and rents of which would go in aid to carry out the works. There would be tramways parallel with the ordinary roads on the surface of the embankment, , communicating - with all the principal thoroughfares. There would also be combined with the embankment a low level sewer. It was proposed to utilde the land reclaimed to meet the expenditure, the construction of ducks, and compensation to wharfingers. After some• suggestions as to carrying out the works s with expedition and e e°4 " 2 3 7 , the commissioners ad jeurued. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT—(Thaa-niii). OLD COURT. (Before the Recorder,) ROBBERY BY A SERVANT. James Hogg and Caroline Hogg were indicted for steal• ing twelve handkerchiefs, value £2, and divers other g9ods to the value of £2OO, the property of John Brocklebank. The male prison& pleaded guilty. Mr. Sleigh said the prosecutor did not wish to press the charge against the female. The prisoner had been in the employ of the prosecutor, curing which time property was lost to the amount of £5OO. The Recorder asked if the property hid been given up. The officer said it was in Court, ready to be restored. The prisoner, on being asked why sentence should not be passed upon him, said he had been led in by a friend to accept some bills, and he took the property to meet them when they became due. The Recorder said it was a very serious offence, as it appeared the prisoner had been ever since he had been in the prosecutor's employ systematically robbing him. He should, therefore, sentence him to three years' penal servi tude. DANGEROUS RIFLE PRACTISING. Mr. James Beasley surrendered to an indictment for mis demeanour, charging him with unlawfully keeping an en closed ground for the purpose of practising rifle shooting, to the great danger and nuisance of the persons residing in the neighbourhood. Mr. Metcalf and Mr. Orridge prosecuted, and Mr. Lewis appeared for the defendant. Mr. Metcalf said the prosecution was instituted by the Government, and their object was to protect the public from injury. No one, of course, condemned the practice of rifle shooting, and he was certain everybody sympathised with the patriotic movement now on foot, but a line must be drawn with respect to the ground taken for rifle practice, it was thought the present was a proper course for Govern ment interference. Mr. Alfred Brett—l reside at 5, Albert•villas, Old Ford, Stratford-le-Bow. My house is at the back of the butt erected by the defendant. It is an enclosure very near three highways—the Victoria-road, the Victoria-park-road, and the Albert-road. They all run along the back of the butt. I have been in the army for nine years. I know the whistle of a rifle bullet well. (Laughter.) On several occasions I have been outside the enclosure, and had what I consider very narrow escapes from the bullets fired at the butt erected by the defendant. I have frequently seen the bullets enter the public roadways. Cross-examined by Mr. Sleigh—l have been an instruc tor of musketry. The flight of a rifle bullet would be about half a mile. My house is about 40 yards from the butt. I have known bullets come into the public thoroughfares on many occasions. I don't think the report of the rifle could, by any person familiar with the sound, be mistaken for the whistle of the bullet. There are sand bags and faggots about the butt. Re-examined—l have known bullets enter the houses in the Albert-road. There is nothing to prevent shots pass ing over the butt into the Victoria-park-road. The bullet would range 600 yards over the Victoria-park-road. The bullet would destroy life at about 800 or 1,000 yards. Samuel Bartholomew—l live at No. 8, Albert-villas, Old Ford. On the 3d of December, I heard the report of rifle-shooting at the butt erected by Mr. Beasley. The next morning a rifle bullet was picked up in my bed .room. I went to Mr. Beasley about it, and he returned to my house with me in company with another gentleman. The gentleman said the bullet had been thrown into his mom, to which I replied that it was impossible for a person to throw a bullet through a venetian blind. There was also a circular hole through a pane of glass in the win dow at which the blind hung. Mrs. Batholomew, wife of the last witness, said—l heard the report of a rifle on the 3d of December, immediately after which I heard the breaking of glass. My son George afterwards picked up a rifle bullet in our bedroom. Cross-examined—l should think the bullet made a hole in the wall about half an inch in depth. George Bartholomew proved ho picked up the bullet, as described by his mother. Jonathan Butcher, a police sergeant, said that rifle shooting had been carried on in defendant's ground for some months previous to the 3d of Dec. He also said that 10 informed Mr. Beasley that a bullet had entered the bed room of Mr. Bartholomew. Bullets had often passed over his head, and on one occasion one entered the roadway a very short distance from his feet.. He had found three bullets in all, but he had, since he had been before the magistrate lost two of them. He had known persons in a state of intoxication firing at the butts erected by. Mr. Beasley. The Recorder—Whit made you think some of the men were drunk ? Witness—Well, because they could not walk straight :Laughter.) Mr. Lewis—How many could not walk straight ? - Witness—Two or three. Mr. Lewis—How many were there at the ground in all ? Witness—l suppose about thirty. Mr. Lewis—Do you mean to say that some of the gentle. men in the rifle uniform were drunk ? Witness—Yes. Mr. Lewis—And your only reason for saying three were drunk was that they could not walk straight ? Witness—Yes. Inspector Hennesy said—l have complained to Mr. Beasley of the danger arising from firing at the rifle butt in his enclosure. In September I was standing in the -Vic toria-park-road when a bullet passed over my head. I went to the ground and found 30 or 40 persons firing at the short range, and drinking ale. On the 28th of the same month Mr. Beasley promised to make any alteration the police commis sioners desired, but I told him the commissioners would not take the responsibility of making any suggestion, but if Mr. Beasley would make his butt safe no proceedings would be taken against him. Abraham Quilter, Musketry Instructor to the Tower Hamlets' Militia—l some time rented the butt erected by Mr. Beasley. I gave it up because I did not consider it safe to the public. It was afterwards raised some feet, but it has since sunk, and is now about the same height it was when I rented it. Cross-examined—A skilled person could not fire at the butt with any degree of certainty. Mr. Lewis—Do you mean to say you could not hit the target ? Witness—l have great doubt about it. Mr. Lewis—l should not like to be a target for you to fire at. Witness—Oh, no ; you would stand a very awkward chance of getting the shot. (Laughter.) Mr. Lewis—Yes, I should think so. What, do you think General Hay would do if he saw persons practising- at the butt ? Witness—General Hay I Why he'd' run away and never stop untill he got to Hytho agaii , . (Laughter.) Capt. Boden said he had been employed examining the butts erected for the practice of rifle shooting by the volunteers. The butt in its present condition was no safe. The danger could only be prevented by the range being completely roofed over by a bullet proof material. Mr. Swiss made a technical objection to the form of the indictment which was overruled. Counsel then retired to arrange the matter, as the only thing they sought by the present proceedings was the pro tection of the public. After an absence of about a quarter of an hour Mr. Sleigh said he had arranged with his learned friend, that his client should plead guilty, and be allowed to be dis charged on his own recognisances to appear when called upon. He desired to take that opportunity of publicly denying in the most positive terms on the part of several gentlemen who were present, that there had ever been any volunteers drunk while firing at the butt. Mr. Metcalfe said it appeared to him that his learned friend was now fixing it upon the volunteers. The witness said there were other persons there as well. The jury found the prisoner guilty. The Recorder directed the defendant to enter into recognisances to appear when called upon, at the same time informing him, that if he made the place safe, he would not be called up for judgment. POLICE 11VT_ELLIGENCE.—( This say.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. CHARGE OF FRAUD AGAINST THE SECRETARY OF A BENEFIT SOCIETY.—James Munn, of 6, Blenheim-street, Secretary to the West-end Boot-closers' Provident Society, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with defrauding Charles Glover and others of various sums of money to the amount of £2O, received by him for and on their account. Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, ap peared for the defendant. Mr. Charles Glover, of 57, Castle-street, said defendant wxs the Secretary of the West-end Boot-closers' Provident Society (unenrolled), and witness was a member. Defendant was secretary of the society from July 1858 till March 5, when he was dismissed. During the whole time defendant was so employed the books of the society were not examined ; but after he was dismissed they were examined, and a deficiency was found to the amount of more than £29. He wished to state that, on the 13th February, 1858, £ll 16s. balance being in hand, it was agreed to lend it in small sums to the members, and it was paid back and again lent, and it was through this the defendant had the facility of acting as he had done. Mr. Lewis said it was a very complicated affair, and de fondant was willing, if there was any deficiency, to pay it back. At a meeting the previous night it was agreed that six weeks should be given for the books to be gone through, and yet the defendant had been given into cus • tody. Mr. Tyrwhitt said he should remand the defendant for a week, and the books in the meantime could be looked over. Ile would, however, take bail for the prisoner's reappear ance. Bail was accepted.

Yesterday there was a giant sale by auction of furniture, fittings, and thousands of other articles at the East India House, as a preliminary to the sale on a future day of the huge building itself. From an early hour in the morning the spacious rooms in which the business of " the depart ments" was carried on prior to her Majesty's Government taking possession of the East India direction and transferring it to the hotel in Victoria-street, and the spacious theatre in which, in past times .glowing eulogia were pronounced upon distinguished Indian Goverbors and con querors, and where the grievances of unfortunate Rajahs were discussed, were filled with Hebrew gentlemen and others, who eagerly scrutinized all the articles arranged for their inspection, with a view to securing good bargains. Mr. Thomas Fox was the auctioneer, and in the discharge of his duties he made some pertinent remarks on the antiquity of the articles which he was offering for competition and the useful purposes they had served in their generation. The rostrum was transferred from room to room as necessity required, and in each new cham ber which was visited new interesting articles were exhibited for sale, in nearly every case meeting with ready buyers and good prices. Several hours having been spent in this way, further proceedings were adjourned until this morning, when the sale will be continued, terminating on Thursday even ing, so that at the close of the present week all that will be left of the once thriving and populous esta blishment in Leadenhall-street will be the walls of the deserted house. At present it is impossible to guess what will be the fate of the old house itself. In the course of a week or two it will be knocked down to the highest bidder, who will be able to apply it to the extension of Leadenhall Market (which has been suggested as probable), to convert it into a railway station, chambers, offices, or any thing else he pleases. The East India-house was built in 1726, and the present portico was added to it in 1797 from the designs of Mr. Jupp, the com pany's surveyor. .DEATH OF A SURGEON FROM DRUNKENNESS. On Friday evening- last an inquest was held at Cosham, near Portsmouth, on the body of Mr. Thos. Charles Marrett, a surgeon. The deceased had, it appeared from the evidence, of late been addicted to drinking. On Wednesday last he was sent for to attend a person named Humphreys. While there he asked for some brandy, which was supplied to him. John Fades, horse keeper to Mr. Wheeler, con tractor for the Holsea defences, deposed as follows : —On Wednesday afternoon about two o'clock I was sont for to go to Mr. Wheeler's office by my wife. Deceased had been sent for to attend Edward Hum phreys, who was ill. I went into the office on the basement. No one was there, and I went up stairs and found Mr. Marrett and Mr. Humphreys. Mr. Marrett was kneeling beside the bed which was there. He had one hand on Mr. Humphreys and the other on the bed. When my wife came to me she told me to go to Mr. Humphreys, as Mr. Mar rett was there tipsy. Mr. Humphreys told me that he had been there about half an hour. I went and tried to lift him up, but I could not. His eyes were closed. I took hold of his hand and took him away from Mr. Humphreys. He did not speak at all ; he was tipsy and insensible. Mr. Humphreys told me that the deceased had drunk a pint and a quarter of brandy ; he also stated that he had drunk it out of a half-,int glass. The bottle and glass now produced are the same which I saw in the room. The bottle was empty ; there was a small quantity of brandy in the glass. Mr. Humphreys said that the doctor gave him a powder, and then asked him if he had any brandy in the house ? Humphreys said " Yes," and told deceased where to get i t, which he did. He gave Hum p hre y s half a wine glassful of brandy. He then looked out of the window and saw h i s wife coming, and said -- wife coming ; I must put the or else she will say I h ave b een b " o i t i tl e e re' a s w m a y y drinking." He then put the bottle and glass under the bed, and his wife came upstairs to him. She asked him if he was going home, and he said, " Yes, presently." She then went down stairs. Nn el.eu took the bottle up and dranlr tL. orandy from a half-pint tumbl.r. me drank it off without stop pine. After he had done he fell on the floor in the position I found him. This is what Humphreys told me in answer to lily inquiry as to what had taken place. I got assistance, and we removed him to the stable. He was then alive, but not sensible. We put him into his gig and were going to remove him to his home, but his wife, who was there, said "No ; take him to the stable ; I don't want every body to see him." I wanted to send for a doctor, but deceased's wife said "No ; I have seen him in the same condition before." We laid him on his back in the stable. His eyes continued to be shut. He was frothing from the mouth, and his hands were discoloured. I saw him every half hour while he remained in the stable. He was groaning very much. At eight o'clock tale doctor was sent for, and he directed him to be brought home. I and four others brought him home in a hand-cart. He was still quite insensible. When we got him home he was taken into the kitchen and laid on the floor. Mr. Jessett gave deceased a draught at the stables, and also at his own house. He was kept in the kitchen about an hour and a half, and he was then removed upstairs. He was sensible once upstairs, and once downstairs. Downstairs he wished a neighbour (Mr. Clark) good night, and shook bands with him. He was still lying on the floor. 1 v upstairs his wife caste into the room, and spoke to me, and he said, " Jessie, I know you ; Iknow your voice." He died about twelve o'clo ck. Other corroborative evidence was g i ven, and th e jury returned a verdict to t h e effect that the de ceased died from congestio n of the brain induced by taking a large quantity of a l c ohol, viz., a pi n t and a quarten of brandy.

An inquiry was opened at the Town Hall, Ash ton, yesterday, before Dr. Holland, appointed by the Home Secretary, to investigate certain allega tions which have latterly been made of gross irregularities in the parochial burial grounds and particularly in that attached to the parish church, and in the ground belonging to the cemetery, in Stalybridge Road. The order of July 1, 1855, it seems, provides " that only one body is to be buried in each grave in the new cemetery, and no burials to take place without a covering of earth 4 feet in depth, at the least, measuring from the upper surface of the coffin." The parish churchyard had been closed from the Ist of October, 1855 ; and by an order dated the 13th November, 1858, the incumbent and churchwardens were required to adopt the fol lowing measure as to the cemetery :—" That the said cemetery be effectually drained, so that water may not accumulate in any grave." The allega tions were that these orders had been systematically set at d e fi ance. —M r. H ug h M ason , ex - mayor o f Ashton, who attended in support of the allegations, said this inquiry had been promoted by the Town Council, but he was also there in his individual character to make certain statements.—A long dis cus be m a d e b acked by the authority etuh ion a charges se should took place, the questio n b e ing wheth er of the Town Council or by an individual.—The Rev. Mr. Parkes, the Rev. Mr. Radley, Mr. Alderman G. Heginbottom,Mr. Mel lor, Dr. Lees, and ot her gentle men, not wishing to submit to the Town Council the question in dispute, Mr. Railley said he required that the statements should be taken in the name of Mr. Mason.—Mr. Mason agreed to this course. —Mr. Mason then read a statement containing the allegations referred to. He asserted that four cot fins had been put into one grave in the cemetery during the last twelve months; that in other graves the covering of earth was not more than three feet, or three feet two inches in depth ; that cof f ins had been placed in actual contact, or that only one inch of soil lay between them ; that the cemetery had not been effectually drained, water having been lifted out of the graves, and coffins having been seen floating ' • that graves had been kept open until four or five coffins had been put in, covered with boards, and not filled up with earth until the last coffin was put in ; that in Janu ary last, Thomas Moss was buried in a com mon grave in the parish churchyard, and that a coffin was taken out of the grave belonging to another person, and removed elsewhere; also that Moss's coffin was not at a sufficient depth. Mr. Mason said he was prepared to prove the strict truth of these charges ; but his witnesses were poor m en and ought not to be brought forward. The Rev. Mr. Parkes said he denied the general statement of Mr. Mason. Mr. Mason then demanded a per sonal investigation. It was denied that the allega tions as to Moss's grave were true ' • but it was ad mitted that the cemete r y h a d only been partially drained. It was also admitted that the late sexton, Thomas Newton, had acted in an irregular manner; but it was urged that since the present sexton had become acquainted with the orders in council, no i rreg ularities had occurred. Mr. Mason, in reply, said the orders had been grossly violated since Thomas Newton had been discharged. Samuel Lomas, the sexton, in answer to Dr. Holland, admitted that there might be coffins in the cemetery something like four feet from the surface ; but he was certain not one within three ifeet. No coffins were put within an inch of each other; there was the depth of a spade be tween them. Mr. Mason asked Lomas if, on a rough Saturday, there were coffins put in a grave and boarded over, and put in actual contact ? Mr. Lomas denied that they were put in contact. —Mr. Mason : I say they were. I will bring a man who was at the funeral and saw it.—Dr. Hol land then asked as to the coffins seen floating. Several persons present exclaimed, " It is not true." Mr. Mason: hay it is the strict truth.—Dr. Holland then put the question as to graves being left open four and five days.—Lomas : It is not true.—Mr. Mason : I say it has been done. I wish to ask Mr. Lomas, on his solemn oath, if graves had not been filled up atter several coffins had been put in ? Mr. Lomas said he gave orders for the grave diggers to fill them up; and Mr. Parkes explained that the ground sank.—After a long and angry discussion, Mr. Mason called Mr. William Wood, a town missionary, who proved that he had assisted Mr. Lomas to put two coffins upon each other without any soil between them in a grave in the cemetery yard. Witness acknowledged the day was a very rough one, and that they were glad to get the coffin anywhere.—Dr. Holland and a great part of the audience then proceeded to the cemetery, and the ground was probbed. It was quite evident that this had been previously done, as there were numerous holes, and a great deal of indignation was expressed by the Church party. One place was probed, and it was admit ted on all hands that there was a coffin 3ft. 41in. from the surface. Dr. Holland and Mr. Mason then took a coach for the purpose of examining the latter gentleman's witness, Wm. Bradbury, an i nma t e o f the workhouse. Bradbury said: I have dug graves at the cemetery this year. I have assisted to put four coffins in: one grave. There would be 12in. or 2in. between the coffins. I recollect digging a grave, and when one coffin was put in the grave was not filled up. The coffin was just covered, and it was left until the grave was filled:up. Until abouttwo er three months ago it was the custom to cover gra7es with planks and leave them until they wee. filled up. When the fourth coffin was put into the grave, it would be rather better than two feet from the surface. I have seen water in a grave, and had to ladle it out. I dug a part of Moss's grave. We found a very big coffin in the grave, about a foot from the top. The coffin was put in the next grave. It was dark. It was not taken out of the grave, but the wall of the next grave was cut down to a level, and it was pushed into the other grave. Lomas helped to shift it. Dr. Holland having re ceived a good character of the witness from 'the Governor of the Workhouse, closed his inquiries, and will make his report to the Secretary of State.

Thomas Maste for refusing summoned by his employ er, _ refusing to fulfil his agr oewent. it appeared that def en d ant had made a yearly agrceTn 5 t for Bs, a week, potato ground, house and garden , and heat at s, per bushel ; but when refused he saw the ho u.,, to enter it, took away his goods, and bad not been there since. D e f en d an t sa id th e not tenantable • the water came up to the doors. Iris w ife had only been confined a month; he was agreeable to go if he had a good cottage, but this was a disgrace to put a man into. Joseph Hall, a waggoner, said the front door was only three feet from the sea. He could not call it a cottage at all; it was merely a hole dug in the cliff; it had one room upstairs, and one down, and it was not plas tered, He was a farmer himself, and his cows had a better stall. He had seen the sea fly all over it. Plaintiff said the place, though not a very good cottage , w as certainl y tenantable; it was stone built, thatched, and well play.tered and whitewashed. Defendant said a gentleman far pier would not put his hac kne y ho rse in there. The case was adjourned till the Bench should make further in quiries. At the petty sessions of May, Mr. "Williams, the presiding mag i s trate, read a letter from the su rveyor w h o had been appointed by the Bench to examine the cottage, stating that he found the cottage in a dilapidated state, and scarcely tenantable. The Bench decided that the cottage was not fit for habitation, and held that the contract was void.
