A very important subject was brought under the notice of the Queen's Bench, and of the public, on Monday—the monopoly, lately created in favour of railway proprietors of the means of forwarding passengers and goods. The faculty of locomotion in the entire nation has been in a manner placed under their control for their advantage. Sir F. POLLOCK then moved for a rule, calling on the Grand Junction Railway Company to show cause why a mandamus should not issue to compel them to act on the 3d Victoria, cap. 49, intended to make Railway Companies treat all their customers, whether carriers of goods or passengers, o❑ equal terms. He made the application on the part of Messrs. PICKFORD, the well-known carriers, who complain that so much favour is shown to Messrs. HoßriE and CHAPLIN that they cannot carry goods on the railway to any profit. In the course of his remarks, Sir FREDERICK stated that the Legislature empowered other per sons than the Railway Companies to run locomo. ti ve engines on the railway, but that this power, crying to the exclusive possession by the Companies of the stations and places of supply, was a com plete dead letter. It is plainly necessary, as the late accidents fully prove, to give each Company a complete control over the time at which engines and trains leave. We may add, too, that the Com pany must, to a certain extent, regulate the speed of each and every train, otherwise collision would be inevitable. This provision, therefore, which the Legislature intended as a protection to the public, is no protection at all, and, by the very nature of railways, the proprietors must have a complete monopoly. Sir FREDERICK POLLOCK dwelt much on the fact, and insisted that the Company, against which the motion was made, not only enjoyed a monopoly, but that it was in no wise backward in claiming and exercising it. The same may be said of all Railway Companies. The Court granted the rule, and when cause is shown the whole question will be fully argued. That it should be fully argued, and the bearings of this new mode of travelling, of which the Legislature has granted several monopo lies, should be fully explained and known, is at pre sent of very great practical and public importance. Only a portion of the country is yet supplied with railways, and a number of Bills will be brought into Parliament next Session to form additional railways. The discussion may perchance open the eves of the Legislature to the effects of what it has done, and is about to do, on the subject, of which we believe it to have been, and yet to be, most profoundly ignorant. Is it, or was it, aware that it was conferring on the proprietors of railwa) s an absolute control, and almost without the possibi lity of competition, of all the traffic both in carrying goods and passengers wherever they were esta blished ? From the inherent superiority of railways this must be the case, till some better and cheaper means of conveyance be discovered. But the owners of railways are not the discoverers of the principle, nor, except as they are so created by Parliament, the exclusive possessors of the means of carrying i into effect. They only seize the discoveries of other men, a portion of the general convenience which art and skill have called into existence, and that seizure the Legislature has sanctioned,and has made them, within certain boundaries, the legal, and as far as it can, the rightful and the absolute owners. In conferring these powers the Legislature has taken very inadequate means of providing for the JJ public security, or protecting the public against the monopolies it has established. If it had expressly reserved the right to resume the grant, or given the monopoly for a period, till it was ascertained how the new contrivance could be carried into effect, or had set about making railways itself, or had passed some general law for making them on some general principle, and subject to certai n conditions, while it had empowered the Executive Government to in stitute a species of di , :cipling for the whole, suitable to the circumstances, it would only have done its duty to the public, and been enabled to protect them. Now it can do no _such thing, It has established tie m onopolies a 3 property, and I , ro. j TI-IE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 18 !840 perty is not so easily interfered with. Even the enactment for individuals to run their own engines, which was intended for protection, has turned out a failure, because the Legislature was not ac quainted with the circumstances for which it was making laws. Further attempts to regulate the course of proceedings of so many bodies of Directors whom it has established in all the plenitude of independence, will be thwarted and resisted. Its officers and regulations will come into conflict with the officers and regulations of the Directors, and there will be confusion, divided responsibility, increased negligence, and more mis chief from its further interference than if it now allow the Directors under an undivided responsi bility to the public—promoted by establishing a summary remedy for negligence—to work out their privilege after their own fashion. As soon as the first successful experiment was made on the Liverpool and Manchester Railway, it became at once evident that so superior and swift a mode of conveyance must engross the transmis sion of light goods and passengers. In fact, it was immediately stated that such would be the case ; and an immense outlay on railways has been made on that faith. That important fact ought to have been present to the minds of the lawmakers when they passed Railway Bills, and they ought to have provided accordingly. But they probably knew nothing of it, as they knew nothing of the circum stances which have rendered the provision for pri vate individuals to run their own engines a nul lity. Their ignorance, however, cannot exo nerate them from blame. They are bound not to make laws on chance. They arc not to rattle the dice, and, as they turn up, pass or reject a Bill. They should ascertain all the effects of a law before making it. They treated these im portant monopolies, however, as private Bills ; they put the individuals desirous of carrying railways into effect to the expense of a coniest ; and these national measures were discussed on private considerations, and, like all private Bills, carried from personal motives and from individual influence. The conse quences of the railway monopolies begin to make the folly of the Legislature apparent. It is equally to blame whether it were ignorant of the effects of its own proceedings, oriacquainted with them, and regardless of their consequences. It has, whether it meant it or not, established in the hands of in dividuals a monopoly of the means of transmission, and has exposed the public to heavier charges, we believe, than are necessary, and has not provided for their safety. Such experience is not calculated to inspire confidence, and certainly does not make us desirous that it should extend its power, and while yet completely ignorant of the effects of its own regulations, should add largely to their number. Amongst the strange opinions to which distress and distrust, and political agitation are giving rise, it is recorded by the Glasgow Argus that the Chartists of Glasgow have declared for a repeal of the Union between England and Scotland. That Journal, however, ridicules the declaration, and ridicules its author, Mr. JAMES MOIR. It states, however, that the Chartists assembled in " the Christian Chartist Church," responded to Mr. MOIR'S appeal, with three cheers. In Ireland the repeal, which seems almost as irrational as Mr. MOIR'S proposal, is undoubtedly popular, and is making considerable progress. Strange and irra tional, therefore, as the demand for a repeal of the Union between Scotland and England appears, there is no telling what the continued perseverance of the Imperial Legislature, in barefaced injustice, may bring forth. Even the Argus, we should suppose, cannot be very confident in its pleasantry, for immediately after it has ridiculed the Chartists it records, in re lation to the Bonnymuir victims, the wonderful change which has taken place in twenty years, at the beginning of which Mr. TURNER was confined in Glasgow Bridewell, who has since been, and perhaps now is, a Magistrate of that city. Such great and even terrific political changes have been witnessed within the last fifty years, that he must be a bold prophet who will venture positively to de clare that it is impossible in the next fifty years that England, Scotland, and Ireland should be members of a Federative Republic instead of being united under one Monarch. The " fermenting" masses, whether " poisoned" or not, are unques tionably most actively at work, and what they will throw to the top, and what will be lees, there is no moral chemistry adequate to predict. The Chartists of Scotland and the Catholics of Ireland, see the Imperial Legislature so incessantly engaged in promoting the interests or securing the superiority of particular classes or sects, and the vast power and vast utility of legislative bodies are so continually harped on, that the Irish and Scotch very naturally want one of their own. Indeed, we should not be surprised if each class in England, in imitation of the rich—and each sect, in imitation of the Churchmen—should demand an exchisive Legislature to work out its own ends and objects. We are not particularly friendly to great constitu tional or fundamental changes ; but our Legislature has been so prostituted, it has been so warped from the avowed intention of promoting the general inte rests, to subserve class and sectarian purposes, and uphold unjust privileges, that, mentally and morally, men are prepared for the greatest possible changes. . _ Under such circumstances, it being quite impos sible to foresee what may happen, common pru dence seems to dictate that those who now make the laws should set an example of doing justice. If the Legislature go on plundering the people by means of laws, it affords a pretext to the Char tists, and all the unrepresented, whenever they have the power, to imitate its example. They are now taught that legislation is superior to right, that property may be violated at the will of its members, for property is continually violated in the persons of the labourers, who, whenever they 'nave the power, will most probably follow out that teaching, and deal as liberally with the estates of the Peers as the Peers now deal with the pro duce of industry. The course of our Legisla ture, far more than the present disposition of the masses, shows a dark and sad scene in the pic ture of Britain. That the present gigantic system of what Mr. COZDEN and all right-minded men call robbery by law can long be maintained is mo rally and even physically impossible. The appe tite for wealth grows with what it feeds on, and toil, strained to the utmost, cannot answer its rapa cious calls. To prevent overwhelming ruin, the present Legislature, while it has yet power, must begin to set the example of doing justice, trusting to the good sense of the public to make that as little as possible, in the first instance, :injurious to individuals. Ultimately it must benefit all. The official accounts of the successful exp'oits of the Allies on the coast of Syria, which we ha ve copied horn the London Gazette of last night, re flect the highest honour upon the gallant Comulo dore NAPIER, WllO has hith erto p rove d him2ll . the life and soul of the expedition. " Men like Commodore NAPIER," as the Chronicle justly ob serves, " almost command success by the spirit which their energy infuses into all around them." Whatever may be the result of the Syrian expedition, Commodore NAPIER has established his claims to the distinction of his Sovereign, and the confidence of his fellow-coun trymen, in his zouraf;e, promptitude, and sagacity. There is but one thing that we could wish, and that is t that to him had been entrusted the corn • - mand of the expedition against China. He would ►be It - lade, bearing the have soon settled the Opium question. ; VITTORIA, President the Regency appeared The Paris Journals of Sunday, which, but for the Sth the stormy state of the weather, would have reached us yesterday morning, and the whole of the morn ing and evening papers of Monday have been re cetred. The following summary of the news from the East, received by the French Government, is from the Messager of Monday night : " The news from Alexandria, up to Oct. 31, fully con firm and develope that contained in the telegraphicdespatch of Nov. 1. " Everything was tranquil in Egypt, and the fortifica tions of the port of Alexandria advanced rapidly towards completion. " Considerable reinforcements had been introduced into St. Jean d'Acre. This place had not been attacked on the 28:h. " The mountaineers of the environs of Naplouse remained faithful to the cause of Mehemet Ali. The same feeling existed amongst the population of Jerusalem. The insur rection, already so considerable in the Lebanon at the date of the preceding news, did not appear to have made there any fresh progress. The number of Turks disembuked amounted to 1,200, and they expected reinforcements. " There was but imperfect information as to the position of Ibrahim P.:cria, because bands of insurgents intercepted or at least rendered very difficult, the communications which the son of the Viceroy was endeavouring to re-esta blish, by echelon rant on the road some cavalry regiments. It was, hoWever, known that the Commander-in•Chii f, after the check be had en the coast—when, surprised by superior forces be was compelic•d to fall back, no:, how ever, without a lively resistance—had retired to Balbeck, and that he had been joined there by Soliman and Osman Pachas, with the wrecks of their divisions, and that, having assembled around bim the garrisons of Tripoli, Latakiah, Tortosa, and Hurts, he found himself with forces sufficiently imposing in presence of the new Prince of the Druscs. The I: t:er was encamped at Ammana, at four leagues from " A corps of three thousand Turks and five hundred British, who left Beyrout, with twelve pieces of cannon, was gone, it was said, to reinforce the Emir. It was added, that another detachment of two hundred English, with six cannon, would repair to the slime destination, " The disposition of thy' town of Damascus inspired some uneasiness. A conspiracy bad been discovered there against the Egyptian Government, and several peroils had been arrested. " Ocher news ; received via Constantinople, state that Ibrahim Pacha, wishing to concentrate all his forces, had caused to be evkcuated, at the same time, Tripoli, Lata ki.sh, Tortusa, and Homs, the cities of Tarsus and of Adana, and the defiles of the Taurus. The Ottoman suthoritica had not been aole to take possession of these places, for want of sufficient forces." The same Journal states that the circular of M. G vizoT to the French diplomatists, which appeared in the London papers of Saturday last, is altogether incorrect. In the Univers of Sunday we find die foliow•in article : " The Commission of the Address of the Chamber of Deputies continues its labours with the greatest ardour. It has entered upon a careful inquiry into the situation of domestic and foreign policy, and especially into the nego tiations which preceded and followed the Treaty of LA . :- don. Ministers are summoned each day to the Commis sion, and communicate all the documents that are asked of them. M. Humann has drawn up a statement of the finances, such as the documents fit the late Ministry have left them. This statement has made a deep impression on the members of the Commission. They have also manifested, after the perusal of the documents, the strongest disappr o b at i on o f t h e slant of foresight and ad dress displayed in all the sets preceding and following the Treaty of London. And, it seems, the majority of the Commission seem determined to express the most energetic censure on the political conduct of the late Cabinet." The same paper says that whilst M. Thiess proposed to raise 900,000 men, the present Ministry will be contented with an effective of 500,000, which will demand an annual, expense of 850,000,000 of francs. The present Ministry; • in that case, will not mobilize the National Guard. With regard to the extraordinary credits requited to support the increased military force of France, the illessager offers the following defence of the present Cabinet : "In copying from another journal that the Ministry wishes to ask of the Chamber the necessary credits to maintain an effective army of 500,000 men, the Consti tutionnel accuses the Ministry of ruining our finances. The Constitutionn e l forgets that the effective force of 500,000 men, and the extraordinary credits which it re quires, are the result of ordonnances issued by the last Cabinet. What would have been the indignation of the Constitutionnel if the Ministry had just proposed to re duce the armaments, and to annul the ordonnances?" The Finance Minister stated in the Committee, on Saturday, that the financial engagements of M. THlEits, exceeding the budget, amounted to up wards of eight hundred and fifty millions of francs, or thirty-four millions of pounds sterling I So much for the frugality of the War Cabinet. We have pleasure in quoting from the Presse of Saturday the following announcement : " We have reason to believe that two agents have re cently departed from the Foreign-office, one for Alexan dria, the other for Constantinople. The first has for mis sion to engage Mehemet Ali to make his submission ; the second to obtain from the Porte the withdrawal of tho de nt ce of deposition. In respect to the latter, the British Ministry, it would appear, is disposed to join its represen tations to those of France. It is affirmed that a note drawn up in this sense, and more friendly, consequently, than the reply of Lord Palmerston to the note of October 8, will be addressed to our Cabinet, before the discussion of the ad. dress in the Chambers of Deputies. Prince Esterhazy, the Austrian Ambassador, after having passed through Belgium, where he had some conferences with King Leo pold, has just taken the direct road to London. His in structions, it is affirmed, are friendly for France, without, however, announcing on the part of Austria a disposition to separate herself from her allies in the execution of the treaty." The above gratifying intelligence receives indi rect confirmation from the annexed extract from the Journal de Fran4/04 : " All the Paris political circlesfavourable to the present Cabinet agree in stating, that immediately after the official reply of the Chatubcr to the speech from the throne, con ferences will commence on the Eastern question in London, and that M. Guizot hopes, it is said, that they will lead to a prompt and pacific result, of a nature to convince France that the Powers have no desire to exclude the French Go vernment from the r councils, nor to show themselves inac cessible to the equitable representations which the new Ca binet might have to submit." The following paragraph is from the editorial columns of the Commerce : " The report is circulated in political circles that Lord Palmerston has addressed to M. Guizot a ncte posterior to that of the 2d of November, conceived in such terms as leaves the Cabinet of the Tuileries little hope of arrang ing the oriental question in the easy and prompt manner that M. Guizot expected. It was in consequence of this note that Lord Palmerston had a conference of three hours, yesterday, at the Foreign-office, and that despatches were instantly sent to M. de Bourqueney and the Count de St. Aulaire." Want of space compels us to postpone any com ments which we might wish to make on the intelli gence conveyed in these Journals. The following additional extracts include all they contain in the shape of news : Several Morning Journals announce that the Ministry intends to prorogue the Chamber for six weeks after the Address has been voted, and then to dissolve it. This statement has no foundation. —Monitcur.

The weekly returns of the registrations of deaths in tEe metropolis are constantly laid before the readers of this Journal, and by the Annual Report of the Regis• trar-General, it is shown that the mortality in the parish of St. George, Hanover-square, is much lower than any other district of London. The following remarkable facts connected with the subject show how frightfully the mortality in that district is increased by St. George's Hospital, at the corner of Grosvenor•place, Knight-- :ridge, being within that parish. By the registration re turns commencing July, 1, 1837, to the quarter ending 30th Sept„ 1840, the whole number of deaths in St. George's, Hannver-squlre, is 4,760, of which number 928 died In St. George's Hospital, so that nearly 2.0 in every 100 deaths in the whole of that numerous parish occur in the hospital.

From the Quebec Papers received yesterday, to the 27th October:— " BOUNDARY QUESTION.-It would appear by the fol lowing extract from a State of Maine Paper of Monday, that a part of the disputed territory is filling up quickly, upon easier terms than any Government land can be ob. twined in Canada. It is but justice, however, to observe, that the Aroostook Valley is settling under a law which applies to every other part of the State, passed 23.1 March, 1838. " It is now believed to be a well established fact,that this section of the Maine presents uncommon advantages for e.griculture, exceeding that of any other portion of our State, and probably New England. Settlers have already commenced, in nearly every township in which settling land is now offered for sale; with the present road facili ties, and numerous other advantages, there can be no doubt that the current of emigration set in in this direc tion will very soon fill up the fertile valey of the Aroos took."

THE QUEEN V. THE ALDERMEN OF MALMESBUItY. In this case Mr. PETERSDORFF had obtained a rule to show cause why a mandamus should not issue commanding the defendants to admit John Emery as a commoner of this borough. Mr. BARSTOW this morning showed cause against the rule, and having taken several preliminary objections which were overruled, proceeded to argue the case upon its merits. The real question et issue was whether a place called the Home Gaston was within the borough of Malmesbury or not. The Home Gaston was first built upon in 1634, and the proprietors of it wished to try the question whether it was within the borough or not—a very proper question to be tried ; and had a proper person been put forward to try it be should not have objected to the writ issuing for that purpose, but he contended that the applicant had nothing to do with the question ; he was merely put forward by the proprietors of the Home Gaston for the purpose of trying the question, and he trusted that if he showed the Court this they would either refuse to make the rule absolute or order the applicant to give secu rity for costs. before the issuing of the writ. After eot,siderahle argument, Mr. Justice PATTESON decided that the rule must be made absolute, and that the motion as to security tor costs must be made as a substantive motion. COMMON PLitAs.—(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in amen.) This day the Court took the special paper. The first ease was PARROTT AGAINST TIIE STOCKTON AND DARLINGTON RAIL WAY COMPANY. The action was brought to try the right of the Com pan to charge an additional toll of 41d. per ton upon coals, carried upon eel taro new inclined planes. The additional duty would fall chiefly upon coal fur exportation. The case was tried at Guildhall, and a verdict taken for the plaintiff, in the effect that the Company was entitled only to an addition of tNd. The facts were then turned into a specid cas., which came on now for the judgment of the Court. Mr. SOLICITOR-GENERAL addressed the Court from its sitting to 0.. e o'clock, contending, from the constitution cf the Act, that the plaintiff was entitled to recover the whole of the additional duty that had been levied upon him. The arguments were purely technical. EXCHEQUER COURT-THIS DAY (Sittings in Barco.) The COURT was occupied the whole day with the specie: paper. Nothing of the slightest public interest arose. BO W-STREET.-(THIS DAY.) Thomas Richard Smith, landlord of the Crooked Billet, Portsnieuth-street, was brought before Mr. JAR DINE, charged with stealing a quantity of tripe and cow heel, the property of Mr. Woods, of Clare-market. Constable Rutherford, 7,F, stated that from information received at the stat'uoi.house he had orders to watch the prosecutor's boiling-house, in Bear-yard, and yesterday morning seeing the prisoner come out with what appeared to b 3 eats' meat, in a tin can similar to that produced, he went and cornmuncated the eircutm,tanc.! lo the prose cutor. This morning while watching the premises, he again observed the prisoner come out of the boiling-house with the can apparently full of meat, and covering it with his hand, and having followed him to Portsmouth-street he stopped him with the property in his possession at his own door. On questioning him how he came by it, he said he had got it from one of the men in the boiling house ; and when the prosecutor was sent for the pri soner said he had received it from John Armsworth, who worked en the premises. John Armsworth proved that a few minutes before nine o'clock this morning he saw the prisoner come lido the premises, but he did not exchange a word with him, nor did he see him go out agmin. He never gave the prisoner the piece of tripe or the cow-heel produced. The other men in the service of the prosecutor gave similar testimony. Mr. Woods said, that having for some time past re ceived a number of anonymous letters that property was daily stelen from his remises, he gave information to the Superintendent of the Police, and no later than yester day morning the prisoner's servant was seen taking away property from the boiling-house. He had no doubt, from the facility of removing such articles, he had been a loser to a considerable amount, and he believed the property ' produced belonged to him, being part of fifty-one honey comb tripe that b ol been boiled this morning. The prisoner declined making any defence, and Mr. Jardine refusing to acct pt of bail or to remand him to a future day, the case being complete, the witnesses were bound over, and he was committed to Isl , wgate for trial. The Right Hon. Francis T. Baring, M.P., Chancellor of the Exchequer, has recently presented a valuable painting, the subject from Sir Walter Scott's " Quentin Durward," to the town of Portsmouth, which is to be placed in the Town Hall.

Lord Lyndhurst will be formally invested with the office of High Steward of the University to-morrow, at his Lordship's residence in London, when he will give a grand entertainment to a party of twenty-four noblemen and gentlemen, to celebrate his election as High Steward of Cambridge. MURDERS AND NEWSPAPERS.—The number of newspapers in England is about 230, and the annual number of convictions fur murder is 13 or 14. The number of newspapers in Spain, a few years ago, was 1, and the annual convictions for murder were upwards of 1,200. THE MARSEILLAISE AGAlN.—Saturday last was the patronal feast of the church of St. Genes, in the Puy de Dome. Tais annual solemnity was cele brated with the customary ceremonies, and one of the galleries was filled with an orchestra of amateur singers. " All of a sudden (says the local journal) the admirable work of Rougot de Lisle (the Marscillaise) resounded through the sacred edifice, and awoke in hearts filled with divine love the not less sacred love of country ! Innumerable bravos' were heard, and the shouts of en thusiasm drowned the voices of the scandalised clergy, who were engaged at the time in chanting the psalms. The affrighted vicars hastened to conclude the service, and dismiss the people, who had not feared to applaud the song of glory and of tberty in the temple of Him who was the bearer of liberty to the world I" DERR STEALING IN WINDSOR GREA T PARK. —During the past fortnight or three weeks deer stealing has been carried on in the Great Park to an unprecedented extent; and, notwithstanding the sharp look-out which is now kept by the numerous keepers and their assistants in the service of the Crown, the thieves have hitherto ma naged to carry on their depredations undetected. The number of deer stated to have been missing, during the past ten days only, amounts to upwards of SO. In some parts of Berkshire and Surrey, contiguous to the park, es pecially in the neighbourhood of Old Windsor, it has b!en stated that the finest venison has been offered for sale at 6d. and 7d. per lb. The localities of Old Wind sor, Egham, and Englefield-green, abound with idle and dissolute characters, the majority of whom are known to get their living by poaching. DRAFTING DEER FROM WINDSOR TO DUBLIN. -- The stock of deer in the Phoenix Park, Dublin, has long been considered to be very inferior to that in the Royal parks in this country, and the long-con templated plan of improving the stock by drafting from Windsor Great Park some of the finest bucks belonging to the Crown has just been carried into effect. Twenty bucks, varying from three to seven years of age, were last week selected from the choicest herds in the Great Park, and transmitted to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, for the purpose of improving the breed in the Phoenix Park. The widow of the late Thomas Drummond, Under Secretary for Ireland, has given 1,003/. to the Na tional Board of Education, for the establishment of a fiundation for training school-mistresses, to be called the Drummond School. The Chief Remembrancer has given 2001. for the same object It is said that the `• Drum mond Testimonial" will be placed in the grounds attached to these schools. Lord Francis Egerton, M.P., has presented a second donation of 1001. to the funds of the School for the Deaf and Dumb at Manchester. Lady P. Egerton has also forwarded 201. The munificence of the Earl of Stamford and Warrington must not be omitted, for the Noble Earl has contributed 100/ to promote the uses of that excellent institution, being his fourth donation. Sir B. Heywood, Bart„ has forwarded 50 guineas, and Mr. Wilbraham and Mrs. Egerton 60 guineas. MISAPPLYING THE FUNDS OF A POOR LAW UNION.—Mr. Thomas Bond, clerk of the Stroud union, appeared en Friday last before the Bench of Jus. tices at Stroud, Gloucestershire, to answer an information laid by Henry Walter Parker, Esq., Assistant Poor-law Commissioner, charging him with having embezzled and wilfully misapplied the sum of 5/. 12s. 6d., belonging to the funds of the Stroud union, which he received in April last, and had neglected to pay over to the person to whom he had been directed to transmit it until after the discovery of his neglect. On the information having been read to him, Mr. Bond pleaded guilty to the charge. This Iva: the first c Ate in which the Commissioners bad come forward to prosecute the clerk of a union for an offence of this description; and, under these circumstances, they had preferred pressing for a summary conviction under the 97th section of the Poor-law Amendment Act to a pro ceeding by indictment. In any future cases, however, of misapplication of union funds on the part of a clerk, the Commissioners ntould feel it their duty to mark their sense of the gravity of such an offence by adopting the most stringept course ;allowed by the law. The Bench adjudged ilia) to pay the fine of Si., :and treble the amount of the sum misapplied, making 21/. I7s. 6d. Mr. Bond in toe cows, of the day pail in ,he amount, which was subsequently handed over to the treasurer of the Stroud union, to he applied, in accordance with the provisions of the Act under which the proceedings were taken, to the general purposes of the union.
