Reasons similar to those stated have determined your Ministers to propose the suppression of the first of the additional articles, in which it is said that the laws will deter mine the time and the mode of the establishment of trial by jury in every kind of offence.' This point, like the preceding, will remain, as is required by its nature, to be regulated in the codes without its being necessary that it should be announced in the consti tutional law of the State. " The principal reform which the Ministry consider necessary is in regard to the Senate. Since the pub lication of the Constitution in 1837, it has been dis covered that the institution of the Senate is vicious. It could only give tha advantage of the division of the legislative body into two branches instead of one. However defective their organisation, it was in vain that an attempt has been made to establish certain differences between the two, by requiring that the senators should be of more advanced age, and that , hey should have means of existence and other qua lities required by the electoral law. These palliatives could not remedy a radical fault in that body. By the very fact the senators are elected by the same persons who elect the deputies—the iden tity of origin destroys the basis of the institu tion. A body of that kind, to answer the intended end, must have stability and firmness, must be sheltered from the flux and reflux of popular opi nions, and must support the institutions of the state by its conservative spirit, and, at the same time, serve as a regulator and counterpoise to the renovating and progressive spirit which animates the Chamber of Deputies. The Senate, as constituted, offers none of these advantages, notwithstanding the presence of so many illustrious persons among its members. Thus we have plainly seen, within the few years of its ex istence, the faults of the institutions, and it is fortu nate that greater inconveniences have not arisen, as might have been the case in a nation less grave and reasonable than ours. Nevertheless, it is not the less established that the time has arrived in which the provisional Government was under the necessity, for the public convenience, to renew the whole of the Senate, thus giving a new testimony that the political wheels are not constructed so as to run smoothly. Without reckoning this and other extraordinary cases, the frequent renewal of the senators vitiates the very essence of the Constitution. It is notorious that the Senate, by its present organisation, is by no means conformable to the cha racter of monarchical government, even with the re strictive faculty allowed to the Crown of choosing be tween the three candidates elected by the people—a faculty which often, and especially in times of popular excitement, may become rather a subject of derision than the exercise of a noble prerogative. These rea sons, and others too long to enumerate, have con vinced your Secretaries of State of the absolute neces sity of completely changing the constitution of the Senate ; a serious change, it is true, but for which the way has been cleared by public opinion, for there are few subjects upon which enlightened men are more unanimous. The principle of po pular election, which is only applicable to the Chamber of Deputies, being once put aside, and the Senate being about to be established on a different footing, your Secretaries of State have gravely considered the basis to be adopted for this im portant institution. It could not escape them that the most natural element of such bodies, conservative as they are in their nature, is the hereditary principle, the principle of order and of stability analogous to the very spirit of the monarchy, and which unites to fidelity to the throne the independence necessary to guard and maintain the liberties and privileges of the nation. Your Secretaries of State would not have hesitated to propose to draw a portion of that element existing in Spain. Rejecting for the Senate both popular election and the hereditary elements, your Secretaries of State are of opinion that the Senate should be for life, and on the nomination of the Crown. Without pretending that this new essay shall not be without inconvenience, they can affirm without fear that the giving of that dignity for life offers pledges of independence and stability. In order to give the institution a certain prestige, and to prevent as far as possible the honour from being given to persons unworthy of occupying so eminent a post, the nomin ation must be limited to certain classes. It is true that this limitation may in certain cases be inconve nient, but upon the whole, your Secretaries of State have thought this plan preferable to that of allowing the choice to be entirely free, and exposed to all the influence of political passions, of favour, and of fami liarity. In the new organization of the Senate, those will ba allowed to enter who, by their high dignity, by the services which they have rendered in their respective careers, by their characters, by their illustrious names, or by their fortunes can give weight and value to the resolutions of a body which ought to be the reflection of the national glories, and the depot of ancient traditions. The Senate being thus formed, it is to be hoped that it will fulfil its principal duty, which is to concur with the Crown and the Chamber of Deputies in the formation of laws ; but your Secretaries of State have thought that they could also invest it with judiciary functions in certain determined cases —as, for instance, when Ministers of the Crown are to be put on their trial who have been impeached in due form by the Deputies of the nation, or when one of its own members is to be tried, or when, as shall be deter mined by the laws, offences against the Crown, or against the State, shall be submitted to that re spectable body. This prerogative is given to the Senate, not as a privilege, but as a charge in favour of society itself, which cannot confide those sa cred objects to a higher or more independent body. " Your Secretaries of State propose one single mo dification to Title IV. of the Constitution. It is that the Deputies be elected for five years instead of three. This change has a certain harmony with that which is proposed with regard to the Senate. Both are a part of a system. In a nation in which municipali ties, provincial deputations, and Chamber of Deputies are all elective, it is necessary to moderate to a cer tain degree this changeableness, so as not to trouble the people too often with elections, for that is apt to disgust them with the institutions themselves. It is necessary, on the contrary, to endeavour to establish a certain stimulus to system and order, which is dif ficult to reconcile with too frequent renewals. For this reason your Secretaries of State think that five years is more proper, to avoid the too frequent repeti tion of elections, while it does not go too much to the other extreme of being too long a time without con cultinte the natinnal will " Your Secretaries of State will not stop to give their reasons for suppressing the 27th article of the Con stitution, in which it is stated that if the King should fail to bring together the Cortes before the Ist of De cember, it will assemble precisely on that day.

NEW SPANISH CONSTITUTION. We give the following report of Narvaez and Co. to the Queen, we should rather say, the Queen-Mother, as an argument for doing away with constitutional government in Spain. Our readers will possibly take little interest in the affair, but we find it necessary to give the report as a public document, which may lead to the most serious consequences. "Madame—When your Ministers had the honourof proposing to your Majesty the convocation of the Cortes, which are about to meet in the capital of the kingdom, they thought it proper and fitting to express, in the decree of convocation, the intention which the Government had that a reform of the constitution of govern the kingdom until the Cortes proceed to that nomination. In default of a father or mother there should he called to the Regency the relative the nearest heir to the throne, inasmuch as it will unite age and indispensable circumstances. " Thus will be filled up the great blank occasioned by the minority of the King, by favour of a means analogous t o th a t w hi c h is observed in the succession to the throne. The risks will thus be avoided which might supervene in the interval, however short it may be, between the decease of the monarch and the no mination of the Regency ; and on the occurrence of this deplorable event there will be found some one fitted to take in hand the reins of the State, without uncertainty or violence, by a natural transition pro vided for beforehand, and calculated to captivate, with out effort, the obedience and the respect of the people. " These reflections, and others not less powerful, have induced your Secretaries of State to propose this very important modification as regards the Regency ; but with respect to what affects the care and the tute lage of the minor King, they have found no reason to modify the text of the 60th article of the Constitution, inasmuch as it is not less in conformity with sound principles of policy as to the ancient laws and Cll3. toms of the monarchy. The last modification pro posed by your Secretaries of State is the suppression of the 77th article, by which it is enacted that there shall be in each province corps of national militia, the organisation and the service of which shall be regu lated by a special law. This is not the moment to examine the advantages and the inconveniences of this institution, and still less of tracing its history in Spain ; it is too modern to be able to be presented with the wished-for impartiality. Without entering into the examination of either the one or the other point, it is sufficient for your Secretaries of State to be convinced that the existence of the national guard neither is nor ought to he the subject matter of a con stitutional article. " Such are the principal reforms which your minis ters propose, and, if your Majesty authorises them, they will have the honour of submitting them to the Cortes. Because they desire that there should be in Spain institutions similar to those which give so much power and splendour to other monarchies, they pro pose, without hesitation, in conformity with their duty, those changes and meliorations in the Constitution which will correct defects from which no human con trivance is exempt, and assure its complete and punctual execution for the future. Thus we shall impose silence on those who pretend that a nation cannot be granted the exercise of its legitimate rights without exposing the throne to danger ; and on those who wish that no limits should be placed to liberty, as if that were not an infallible means to make it degenerate anarchy. " We pray to God, Madame, to grant to your Ma • jesty, whom He has protected in such an evident manner in your earliest years, the inexpressible happi ness of recompensing the nation for the great sacrifices it has made, by founding its prosperity and its glory on the faithful observance of the laws.

In order that there may be no longer the slightest doubt of the intention of the Government relative to this point, the character and nature of the projected reform was indicated in the decree of convocation in the following terms, which it is proper that we should repeat to-day `The time has arrived to introduce regularity and harmony in the different branches of the State; to lay down the laws necessary to consolidate in the most stable manner public order and tranquillity, and to carry reforms and ameliorations even into the con stitution of the State, relative to those parts which experience has demonstrated in a palpable manner not to be in harmony with the true spirit of the repre sentative government, and not to leave the flexibility necessary for all the exigencies of this kind of go vernment.'

(Signed) " RAMON•MARIA NARVAEZ. FRANCISCO MARTINEZ DE LA RO MAYANS, &c. " Madrid, Oct. 9, 1844." " It was thus the Ministers expressed themselves at the time of calling upon the electors to exercise their important rights. The persons whom they have honoured with their confidence being on the point of uniting, the time has arrived of laying before your Majesty the ideas of your Ministry relative to constitu tional reform, which is the most important point the Cortes will hare to consider. In examining this subject with the attention which it so well deserves, the Minis ters have been confirmed in the opinions which they have for a long time had relative to the Constitution now in force. Founded genera'ly on sound prin ciples of public right, it was a great step towards the establishment of a good monarchy, especially if it be compared with the Constitution of 1812 ; but never theless it could not but feel the effect of the circum stances under which it was formed, and accordingly more than one important error was found. The first pointed out, which experience has proved to be so : It is a fact that different ministries who have suc ceeded each other of different opinions, and even of opposite principles, have all found more or less obstacles in 'governing within the limits of the Con stiution, and have been obliged to violate some of its dispositions, in order not to run the risk of leaving the authority of the Government without de fence, and the tranquillity of the State exposed to alterations and dangers. And when even that ne cessity failed to it certain extent in preventing the circumstances in which the kingdom found itself of being troubled with revolutions and civil wars, it is not less certain that an essential part of the evil proceeds from a defect in some of the institutions. It is thus that public opinion, and even a certain feel ing.of self-preservation which animates the people, have pointed out as necessary the reform of the con stitution, in order to give to the action of Government a strength which is considered indispensable. Spain has learned to its cost that when the power of the Crown does not find in the institutions that rigour and strength necessary to protect the interests of the public and the rights of individuals, it will fall of necessity into one of two extremes. It will expose itself to the attacks of disorder and anarchy, or it will make use of illegal arms for its own defence and that of society. Desirous to avoid these two rocks, and to establish at the commence ment of your Majesty's reign a new era of legality and of order, which promises to the throne glory and splendour, and which ensures at the same time the repose and the happiness of the nation, your Minis ters propose the following reforms of the Constitution of the State, limiting themselves to those which they consider necessary or fitting, for the reasons which they are about to lay before your Majesty shortly and clearly. They believe, above all things, that the pre amble of the Constitution should be changed, con sidering unseasonable, if not even dangerous, the principle which is announced in it, and from which consequences may be drawn by no means conform able to the majesty and the security of the throne, and to the harmony which oug h t to su b s i st b etween t h e principles State. P m Far, then, from having recourse yo o u r r e i o n r i s te l r e s s s h av v e a u g l u o e ugh in t o a fact, namely, th a t i n th e i P t t the abstract f g s e r i ° a n f b o l t f e h c e t o o n s a t n i t n u o t i u o n n c s e , Constitution which is about to rule Spain, the Crown and the Cortes concur in wishing to reconcile the an cient fueros or liberties of the nation with its present state and wants, giving to the Cortes the right of in tervention, which it has always had, in the decision of the important affairs of the monarchy. In this manner, as far as is possible, will be obtained the inappreciable advantage of giving as a basis for the Constitution the united will of the monarch and of the representatives of the nation, and the exaggerated pretensions will be avoided of those two extreme parties, who ordinarily commence by jealousies and rivalties, and finish by overturning and scandal. " In entering into an examination of the reform of the Constitution, the Ministers will not stop to exa mine matters of little consequence. They will only call your Majesty's attention to some of the principal parts. The first paragraph of Art. 2 is left untouched. In it is acknowledged the right of Spaniards to pub lish their thoughts, without t he ir passing through the hands of the censor, while they must conform to the laws. Whatever may be the inconveniences of the liberty of the press, and the abuse to which it has been exposed in Spain, the spirit of the times and the character of the institutions in force require that that law. It is to be hoped that when people are a little right should be considered sacred, and a fundamental more calm, and when public manners have insensibly improved, the press will consecrate Itself to a more noble object, the instruction and improvement of the people. 13ut while by the Constitution the Ministers I leave liberty to the press, they are of opinion that that paragraph ought to be suppressed in which it is estilbs lisheel that the trial of all offences of the press should belong exclusively to juries. It is unnecessary to point out alt the advantages, as well as inconveni ences, of such an institution. It is also unnecessary to poiot out all those things of which Spain was a witness at the two periods when juries were estab lished to judge of offences of the press; for no one is ignorant of the filet that the most sacred objects are exposed to all sprts of attacks—government without defence, the reputation of indivi luality without pro teetion, and impunity consecrated to the detriment of the pnhlio weal and in contempt of the laws. It is possible that the troubles of the epoch and the loose given to political passion, which vitiate similar institutions in times of trouble and revolt, and which convert the sword of' justice into the weapon of party, has contributed to this result. however that may be, your Ministers ore of opi longthat this is not a point which properly L. be s to the Constitution. moue an. ,orrn . . 3 al- -- - of trial, b o th as regards the offences of the .press 'The and other offences, ought to be Tpattersof ofditn ,al7 law ? and it is for the Crown and the Cortes to say THE PENSIONERS.

Only four cases of military delinquency occurre d, a ll con sisting of the same offence, namely, inebriety. As a warning to others to abstain from intemperance, their names were erased from the roll, and their uniforms taken into store. Considering the alleged inconsiderate character of old soldiers, their con duct has on this occasion been in general most exem plary, regular, and highly praiseworthy. For the most part the able-bodied pensioners who reside in Edinburgh, have obtained some employment, by which means they are able to add a little to their pensions, and much praise is due to their employers for having permitted them to attend the regular drills and parades.

ARNICA MONTANA, OR LEOPARD'S . BANE. NERVOUS DEAFNESS.—This plant is a native of Ger• many, and belongs to the class Syngenesia ; order, Polygamia superflua of Linnaeus, and to the tenth class; third order, Corymbiferae of Jussieu. It is placed in the System of De Candolle in the Corollifloral Exogens, ordeps Asteracce or Composite. In the " Materia Medics" it is classed with the Narcotics, and, from its botanical position, it may be considered as a Narcotico-acrid. The flowers, leaves, and root, have been applied to medical purposes. The flowers of this plant have a slightly fetid smell, and a taste pone• trating and bitter. The infusion from maceration in water shows that both the taste and smell are extracted during the process. When administered their stimulating power and narcotic effects are evidenced in their action on the general system. In a moderate dose they increase the force of the circula tion, and they further serve to give tone to the mus cular fibre. In larger doses they induce purging, vomit ing, &c., which are sometimes succeeded by pains in the muscles of voluntary motion, vertigo, and occasionally convulsions. According to Dupuytren, the emetic effects arise from certain downy particles from the plant, which got diffused through the infusion. This infusion has been very successfully exhibited in amaurosis, paralysis, convulsive disorders, and also in rheumatism and gout (and the last two years by Dr. Cronin in nervonq den fnesv, and palpitation of the heart, duct; which time several eminent surgeons htkve testified to its efficacy). The root of this plant is tonic and aromatic, so much so, that it has been used as a substitute for Peruvian bArli.--Fron4 Dr. Cronin's, Craven-street.

They believe, in short, that it is necessary to avoid as much as possi ble that the people should see immediately beneath the throne persons making a display who are not of the race of their princes, to whom the march of ages and habitual veneration has given at the same time a pres tige and authority, principles that we should confine ours. , when there is no existence an elective regency, only . w monarchical other resource more in harmony with a inconveniences and dangers.

THE AUTUMN SEASON The rising sun dispels the hazy fog, The rigid hoar.frost melts upon the ground ; And, hung on every spray, on every blade, The myriad dewdrops sparkle all around! In presenting before my distinguished patrons my arrangements and extensive preparations for the present season, I consider It first a paramount duty, combined with a positive pleasure, to return my sincere thanks for the continued success which has for many years enabled me to produce such novelties as have been entirely unprecedented, and which have given to my numerous establish ments, both in England and Scotland, a character hitherto un paralleled in the annals of clothing. Immense patronage demands the most decisive proofs of grati tude and respect ; and to those who so nobly supported me through. out a long career of mercantileenterprise, I beg leave most respect. fully to tender my grateful acknowledgments. My arrangements for the present season ate now approaching to a completion, and combine Vesting of exquisite beauty and shade, In countless profusion are tastefully laid ; The richest designs which the loom call supply Delight every fancy, and please every eye! In the tour which I have recently made throughot the English, Scottish, and Continental markets, I have selected upwards of 6,000 of the most magnificent designs in Vestings, which cannot be obtained by any other house in the kingdom. The " principal s t ) - les" are entirely my own property, and can only be seen at my establishments; and although I have adopted this novel method of securing the mast recherche designs, yet economy will be found blended with their extreme beauty and durability. The materials which I have selected for Trouserings combine every novelty yet introduced into this country; the Stock being truly immense, and the patterns so much diversified, it ensures to every one the cer. tainty of being pleased. Again, the magnificent display of Materials for Over Coats, For every age and station, Are such as must excite in all The meed of approbation!

THE JUDGMENT OF LORD DENMAN IN THE CASE OF °CONNELL AND OTHERS AGAINST THE QUEEN. as delivered in the House of Lords, Sept. 4, 1844 ; with Notes, a Preface, and Additional Observations. Edited by David Leahy, Esq., one of the Counsel in the Cause. London, H. Butterworth. This is a most acceptable and important contri bution to the political literature and constitutional history of the present times. The " preface" does great credit to the style and legal acumen of its editor; and inasmuch as it embodies in a terse and concentrated form a review of some important facts in the history of the case hitherto overlooked, or not sufficiently noted by a large body of the English public, we make no apology for here repeating it. " Considering the excitement with which the recent state prosecution was accompanied from the beginning, and the importance which was attributed to the ultimate result, it was naturally to be expected that the final judg ment of the House of Lords, upon whichever side it might happen to be delivered, would excite the censure of that party which had been unsuccessful in the litiga tion; and such, although to a very small extent, has been the actual consequence. It is not intended here to re argue the questions which have been set at rest, or again expose the reasonings, which have been repro duced is other quarters, after having failed at the bar: still less is it deemed necessary to defend the motives of those by whom the judgment was pronounced, or by whose opinion it was supported. But as an array of all the judicial persons, both here and in Ireland, who have taken part in the proceedings, has been put forward, to show that the great majority was in favour of the judg ment of the Court of Queen's Bench in Dublin, 1 shall take leave to make one or two remarks upon that part of the subject. " And, first, as to the great question upon which the reversal has turned,—namely. the validity of the sixth and seventh counts,—all the Law Lords and Judges of England, with the single exception of Lord Brougham, differ from the unanimous opinion of the four Irish Judges. The majority i n mere num b ers i s twelve to " On the question, whether a general judgment is good, where some of the counts on which it proceeded are invalid, as the Irish Judges gave no opinion, the majority is less than it has been represented, consisting of two Law Lords and six Judges, against three Law Lords and two Judges, eight to five.t " Perhaps; however, the only notice that ought to be taken of such statements, is by referring to the nature and office of a court of error, and the duty imposed upon it by its own essential constitution. That the authority of the Judges, whose decision is impugned, ought not to prevent the freest examination of the grounds on which it rests, is not only proved by numberless precedents, and by the character of the proceeding itself; but is ex emplified in a striking manner in this very case, in which four out of five of the Lords, who voted in accord ance with the reported opinion of all the English Judges, overturned the unanimous judgment which the Court below had given in favour of the goodness of the two bad counts. That the House of Lords ought to listen with deference to the Judges, but ought not to adopt their opinions against its own conviction, is a truth beyond controversy.l " The following judgment is published in its present form, on account of the vast importance of the principles discussed. " The question whether the true import of the expres sion for his said offences,' in the judgment of the Court below, be that the punishment was awarded in respect of all the facts indicted as offences, may be styled a tech nical, or possibly a grammatical question. But if it be answered affirmatively (as the deliberative lodgment of the Court below almost forces us to conclude), surely nothing can be more alarming than the doctrine by which alone the general judgment can be upheld,—viz., that a. defendant may be punished for conduct which is not for bidden by the law. For, first, the proceeding is in it se lf unjust ; and, secondly, th e o p enness to abuse that besets such a practice in any case, but especially in prosecutions for libel, and for political offences in general, is too ob vious to require exposure. " The other subject of this judgment is of a still more interesting character. " The Jury Act, passed by Sir Robert Peel for England, in 1824, was welt adapted to secure a fair jury ; in this country it has worked well, has stood the test of experience, and no distrust or suspicion has at tached to its operation. There is no reason for believing that it has not been strictly complied with in every single instance. "In 1833 a similar Act was passed for Ireland. It has given rise to much dissatisfaction, and has been more than once brought under judicial cognizance. " In a case before Lord Chief Justice Doherty (R. e. Fitzpatrick)§, the array was challenged upon the allega tion that the Recorder had improperly decided upon cer tain claims and objections. His Lordship thought that these judicial acts could not be so questioned; an opinion by no means at variance with Lord Denman's argument, which, on the contrary, assumes its correctness. But the Chief Justice of the Common Pleas in Ireland expressed his intention to have reserved even this point for consi deration, if the party had been convicted; from a just sense, undoubtedly, of the vital importance of preserving the selection of juries not only from abuse, but even from suspicion. "In R. v. Conrail) . ji the challenge to the array was held radically bad, because the excluded names were not specified. Mr. Justice Torrens at the same time took the opportunity of extrajudicially pronouncing the ob ection insufficient, upon the ground that all the enact ments of the Jury Act were (as he thought) merely directory. This epithet is well understood by lawyers as describing such directions as, though enjoined by statute, nobody is bound to obey. " From this extrajudicial dictum it appears to follow, that any book whatever, placed in the sheriff's hands, if entitled the jury book, must be received and acted upon as authentic and complete. Full license would be pro claimed, not only to every officer, hut to every other person who could by force or fraud possess himself of the lists, to do with them whatever he chose. If sixty names had been objected to before the Recorder, but expressly adjudged by him to be entitled to be retained, the ob jector would only have to purloin the list which con tained theta: or if hundreds or thousands had been, after judicial inquiry, struck off by the Recorder, still, if they could be fraudulently re-inserted, theyjmust remain upon the list, as the material from which, perhaps exclusively, the juries must be composed. " Such a license, according to general report, has in Ireland been freely assumed—to an extent, indeed, which would seem to warrant a statement that the Jury Act of 1833 has never been practically in operation in that country. If a rigid enforcement of the Act should be likely to produce public inconvenience, the extreme laxity which is said to have prevailed is fraught with in numerable evils of a much worse description. When public attention has been effectually called to the sub ject, the Legislature will probably devise some effectual means of avoiding the inconvenience, and preventing the injustice. As Lord Denman observed, in the course of his judgment, that he had committed to writing some state. ments which he did not propose to address to the House, I took the liberty of requesting to be favoured with the inspection of the papers to which he alluded, with a view to their insertion in the present publication. His Lord ship was pleased in the most obliging manner to comply with this request, and to place the whole of the memo randa in question at my disposal, to be used according► to my own discretion. As they were composed at various periods during the short interval between the close of the circuit and the day appointed for the re-assembling of the House, they necessarily included some actual repetitions as well as some brief expressions of opinions which are more fully developed in the judgment as delivered. But the unprecedented interest and admiration excited among all parties by the delivery of this noble address—in every respect so worthy of the transcendent importance of the subject—induce me to believe that the public will be happy to hear that I have exercised to the smallest pos sible extent the power of retrenchment with which I was invested in so confiding and condescending a manner, and that the papers in question, which are almost all printed at the end of the present publication, contain a full exposition of tho whole of his Lordship's opinions upon every part of the case." * The Lord Chancellor, Lords Denman, Cottenham, and Campbell, and Lord Chief Justice Tindal, Barons Parke, Alderson, Gurney, Justices Patteson, Williams, Coltman, Maule, against Lord Rronghatn, and the four Irish Judges. _ t The Lord Chancellor, Lord Brougham, and Lord Chief Justice Tindal, Barons Alderson and Gurney, Justices Patteson, Williams and Maule, against Lords Denman, Cottenham and Campbell, Baron Parke, and Justice Coltman. $ Lord Brougham expressly stated in his judgment, that the business of the Judges, upon such occasions, was to give the House of Lords —not " advice"—but only " information." 1 Crawf. and Dix., 513. 1 Crawf. and Dix., 513 (TO BE CONTINUED.) A case was brought before Mr. Sheriff Campbell, in the Small Debt Court of Paisley, last Thursday, in every respect worthy of the glimmering enlightenment of the middle ages. The parties lodged in one house, and one of them having had some article or other pur loined from him, forthwith had recourse to the series scriptorum to detect the supposed thief. Selecting a mode of revelation which would not have disparaged Joe Smith, the Mormon prophet himself to have in vented, a particular chapter of the Old Testament, in which there occurs a vast number of proper names, was spread open, and a key placed upon the page being spun round for a few seconds by a jerk of the finger and thumb, the name at which it stopped was thereupon corl st, tied to apply to the delinquent in the matt the D a pursuer in the action. He, however, on the e that the key had been unfairly twirled,_ denied that the. theft had been brought home to him but the othe r par ties, the defenders, having persisted in their accusation, the pursuer thought proper to sue them for a defamation of character.
