We understand the Prince and Princess Borg hese also purpose visiting this country in the course of next month. Thursday, at the Kensington Petty Sessions, John Freeman, the keeper of the Prince of Wales beer-shop, King's-road, Chelsea, appeared before the Bench to an swer a summons, at the instance of Inspector Shepherd, V division, for refusing admission to the police when demanded by them on the morning of the 21st. It appeared from the evidence of a police-sergeant and two constables, that about three o'clock on the morning in question they heard a noise as of a dispute in the defendant's house, on which they knocked at the door for admittance, and after waiting for upwards of live minutes, a female from a window inquired who was there. She was informed " the police," when, after a further delay of more than five minutes, the door was opened by the defendant's son, and on entering the premises they found four persons coming down stairs, and in a room up stairs ten other persons. On the table were three pewter pots belonging to the defendant. The defendant in answer to the charge denied that admittance had been refused. The fact was, his premises consisted of a double house, part of which he let to a person of the n ame o f Shadrach Danev, who had a christening party in his apart ments. The police said there was a comniunication between the two houses mostadmirably adapted for eluding the vigilance of the police, as it led to a large room in the rear, from which no noise could be heard in front. The Bench, on referring to the New Police Act (2 and 3 Victoria, cap. 47), finding that by the 47th section every licensed dealer in wine, spirits, beer, or other excisable liquors, having a communication between his house and any other building, is liable to a fine of 101. for every day such communication is kept open, asked the defen dant if he was aware lie had committed a more serious offence than refu s i ng th e po li ce a dmittance. The defend an t d eclared his ign orance t h at suc h a c l a use was in existenc e , an d asked if should b r i c k t h e commun i ca tion up. The-Ben c h t o ld hi m to do so immediately, and, dismissing the summo ns f or want of clear roof of the refusal, granted the Inspector a summons against the defendant fur having Ihe communication, which will come on for hearing on a future day.

The following declaration has been signed by 171 ministers and 282 elders of the Church of Scotland : " We whose names are hereunto subscribed, being ministers and elders of the Church of Scotland, by law established, hifluenced by an anxious regard for the welfare of that Church, an earnest desire to open a way for extricating her from her present perilous position, and an irresistible sense of duty, feel it necessary to de clare as follows, viz. : " 1. That we entertain the most profound respect F:ir the law of the land, by which our Church is en towed and protected, and hold it incumbent on the Ecclesiastical,authorities to yield obedience to that law is laid down by the judgment of the Court of Session and House of Lords. " 11. That we are fully convinced, and do conscien tiously believe, that in yielding this obedience we shall not sacrifice any of the principles of our Church, or violate the allegiance which we owe to its Divine Head Ind King. "II I. That esteeming our venerable ecclesiastical es tablishment one of the greatest blessings which a gra cious God has bestowed on our land, and desiring, in all singleness of heart, to uphold it agreeably to its stand ards, and to the practice of our forefathers from the ear liest times, we lament the recent conflicting procedure which has taken place in the civil and ecclesiastical ju dicatories, as injurious to the interests of religion and dangerous to the constitution of our Church ; and hold it to be the sacred duty of all its members to use their best endeavours for putting an end to a state of things so much to be deplored. " IV. That whilst we are decidedly opposed to the abolition of patronage, we nevertheless think it most material to the welfare of our Church that every pos sible precaution should be taken to prevent unfit pre sentees from being settled in parishes ; and although this appears to us to be in a great measure already se cured by the ecclesiastical arrangements previously ex isting, yet we will readily concur in framing and enforc ing such additional regulations; in conformity to the law of the land, as may be judged amply sufficient-to ac complish this most important object." , SYNOD OF DUMFRIES. The provincial Court of tlie Church held its spring meeting on Tuesday last, the 21st' inst. The principal topics of discussion were questi ins relative to Non-in trusion, and the independence of the Church. The Committee on Overtures having reported Mr.Yorstoun's intention to propose a petition to the Legislature on the sufifect of the unhappy opposition which exists be t Witt the Civil and Ecclesiastical Courts, the Rev. Gen tlinitti rose, and after a few remarks, moved the adop tion of the petition, which having been seconded by Mr. Wright, Dr. DUNCAN, of Ruthwell, rose and stated that he had b6en in 'hopes that the Synod would have found this document so framed as to meet the acquiescence of all parties ; but, on perusing it, he found some expressions which he and those who thought with him could not conscientiously adopt. After a long discussion, the petition in its original and unmutilated form was adopted by a majority of .12 to 31. The Rev. Dr. DuNBAR, of Applegath, then rose and proposed the following overture with respect to the Strathhogio suspension case : " Whereas, by the acts of Assembly, 1736, 1754, and 1756, it is expressly provided that when a Presby tery refuses to comply with the sentence of the Corn rni”ion relating to the settlement of ministers, the mat ter shall lie over to the next Assembly ; and whereas the-Commission which met on"rthe 11th 'December last did suspend certain members of the Presbytery of Strathbogie, as having refused compliance - with the ap pointment of the Commission in the case of the disputed settlement in Marnoch ; and' whereas, in the judgment of i this Synod, the Commission was not justified in do ing, so by the plea of having received instructions from the preceding Assembly to deal with the case as to them should seem fit, seeing that while the Assembly invests the Commission generally with a superinten dence over the concerns of the Church, it carefully pro vides that in every case of a Presbytery questioning the jurisdiction, and refusing compliance with the decisions of the Commission, that body shall not adopt any exe cutive measure, but shall leave the matter to the de cision of the succeeding Assembly :—Be it therefore overtured that the General Assembly strongly disap prove of said procedure on the part of the Commission as altogether unconstitutional ; declare it null and void ; and order the sentence of suspension to be expunged from the records." As an amendment, the Rev. Mr. CRAWFORD moved " That the overture be dismissed, as such an expres sion of opinion on the part of the Synod would be inex pedient, seeing the whole proceedings must come under the review of the Supreme Court, when parties will be heard, the merits of the case fully investigated, and the sentence of the Commission confirmed or reversed ac cordingly." The amendment, or counter-motion, was ultimately lost by a majority of 37 to 30. The following overture was proposed by Dr. DUN CAN of seconded by Sir PATRICK MAX- BRIBERY AT ELECTIONS. ( From tlie Esscx Mercury.) NECESSITY FOR THE BALLOT. Our readers have, doubtless, perused with justifiable disgust, the details of gross bribery exhibited in the Ludlow and Cambridge elections. Even the Tory Standard exclaims—" The curse of heaven is upon it ; and what is accursed of heaven never prospers." Mr. Austin, in addressing the Ludlow Election Committee, said, " that there was a clear and distinct proof of bribery in the case of the voter Cook. Cook was paid 301. in three ten-pound notes." The price of votes is even said to have risen in the Ludloff market from 100/. to 150/.! This is not an isolated case. There is never an election but the same iniquitous practices are resorted to, and will be till the Ballot is esta blished. This the Tories will, of course, oppose as long as they can ; for they well know the Ballot would deprive them of those means of corruption and bribery by which alone they arc able to return Members to Parliament. They hopocritically pretend that tne Ballot would en courage falsehood. So far from the Ballot encouraging falsehood, it would at one sweep cut off more than half the falsehood of voters. The . false promise is an evil, chiefly affecting the man who makes it. But the false vote is a crime not merely as regards himself, but as against the public at large. But the false promise, after a little experience, would neither be extorted nor offered. It would be useless. The man who would sell his trust, and readily tell a lie, who would believe him ? Again, deprive the wealthy candidate of the knowledge in which way votes will be given, and no persecution will successfully operate on the voter. The induce ment to intimidate will be at an end, and the perse cution will cease. The same argument would apply to the certain annihilation of corruption by the Ballot, if the secret system of voting were adopted. Ask any plain man of business if he would, in com mercial language, buy a pig ix a poke; if he would purchase a rotten vote or any other saleable commodity,. when he could not secure the quality or appropriatio n • of the bargaist,? Y . - 116 wOuld,„beyond a doubt, laugh in, your face.--- - ScHrizarclous a sale could not take place to sell.Th elec tor e he wil l e a can • with hl r a e vt a e t d b e t o c e any rta i o n t t h y e re f or e o v d o i t t e y do is to offer the probability to his corrupter, and to give his bare word for the fulfilment of the contract. Now the man who could take a bribe is evidently to corrupt as to make no difficulty in breaking his promise. The promise to vote in a particular way, therefore, would be a matter of so great uncertainty as to make a purchaser of any common sense discontinue the prac tice. There could be no security given for value re ceived. Such bargains are not likely to be sought by any party ; and consequently the whole ground of cor ruption would be cut away from under the feet of the corruptor. Where no fuel is the fire dieth. CONSTANCY AND FIXEDNESS OF PRINCIPLE IN DEMOCRACIES. I do not pretend, that the members of democra tic states of society are immovable. On the con trary, there is little, repose and eternal movement in such societies : but- there are certain limits drawn round this agitation. Secondly, things are varied and renewed each day ; but principle ever remains untouched. They like change, but dread revolu tion. • How much soever the Americans abrogate and alter some of their laws, they have no revolu tionary passions; and public agitation always grows calm whenever it menaces revolution. Revolu tionary theories, too, meet with far less favour in the United States than in the old monarchies of Europe. The dernocratic maxims of French Republicans would not be tolerated an instant in America. Where there is much equality each person tends to isolate himself, and forget the public ; revolution then must be the produce of circumstances, not of individual or party effort. Two things in the United States create astonishment—the great mobility of most men's actions, and the peculiar fixedness of certain principles. Once an opinion has spread and become rooted in America, no power on earth seems able to extirpate it. In the 'United States, general doctrines regarding religion, philosophy, morals, and even politics, do not vary ; and prejudice itself wears out with extreme slow ness. It has been said that democracies are fertile in sentiments and thoughts. This may have been the case in the small democracies of antiquity,. but - is not the case in the great democracy of America. Nothing is more difficult than to alter the opinions and prejudices of a true democracy. There men, equal in rights, education, fortune, and condition, must have the same necessities, tastes, and habi tudes, and consequently the same views and opi nions. The intellectual anarchy at present to be perceived in France is not at all in consequence of democratic organization or tendency. In a democracy no man can get up to be an apostle to others ; did he do so, he would not be listened to. In democracies there is no general confidence in the superior intelli gence of individuals. On the contrary, equality of intellect is a dogma, which follows equality of o th er conditions. If Luther had lived where there were none but his equals, instead of living in a society of lords and princes, he would have found more diffi culty in changing the face of Europe. In demo cracies there is little taste or desire for looking after new opinions ; even the trouble of examining and changing opinions is too great to be taken. The influence of individuals is weak or null, whilst the influence of the mass is great. This causes a great stability in belief. We live in a time which has seen rapid changes take place in the mind of men. Nevertheless, rt is probable that opinions in general promise to be much more stable than they have hitherto been ; for I am convinced, that where equality is generally and permanently established, great revolutions, either intellectual or political, become rare. Men in democracies may seem uncertain, panting and ready to change laws and creeds, but all their desires and in terests have need of stability to satisfy them ; and the force which holds them quiet is greater than that which impels them. Dare I say so in the midst of the ruins around us ? My greatest cause of fear for future generations is not revolution. If citizens continue to shut themselves up in the circle of petty domestic interests, within which they are ever stirring, they will become inac cessible to those great public emotions which cause ' some trouble to nations, but which at the same time develope and renew them. When I see men inte rested in property so anxious and fearful, I dread lest they should arrive at considering every theory a peril, every innovation an evil, and every social progress a step towards revolution. I tremble lest a cowardly love of present enjoyments causes the interests of the future to be neglected. Some fear that new societies will be every day changing as pect. I dread lest they should become too firmly fixed in the same institutions, prejudices, and man ners, so as to put a stop to all progress-feat man should merely turn back upon himself without pro ducing new ideas, and -lest he should become ex hausted in petty, solitary, and sterile movements, and, though ever in motion, never advance. Tocqueville's Democracy in America. (From the Scotsman.) Mr. Drummond was born in this city, and after pas:- ing through the proper course of education, entered Ihe corps of Royal Engineers. Prior to 1831 his m e ee s were only known to men of science. among whom he had established a reputation, while yet under thirty years of age. "He is," says a very competent judge, "intimately acquairoed with the mathematical sciences in their most recondite theories. He is an indefatigable and dexterous and inventive experimenter in physics, and he has rendered essential service to science, as well as to the particular branch of the public service in which lie had been long engaged (the Trigonometrical Survey of Britain and Ireland), by a series of (spry.; meats on the expansion of metals, with a view to the measurement of a base, and by his arduous exertions in the fie:d under Colonel Colby. His paper on " the means of facilitating the observation of distant stations in geodetical observ a ti ons ," (b y t h e li ght wh i ch b ears his name,) and his method of illuminating lighthouses, are well known to every cultivator of science in Europe." On this part of his history we forbear to enlarge, as a scientific friend, much better qualified to do justice to it, has promised us a communication on the subject. Mr. Drummond's name was first brought before the public generally, in consequence of his being employed in 1831 to fix the boundaries of the burghs, and deter mine their order in the claim to representation, under the Reform Bill. The scale was founded on the popu lation and assessed taxes jointly, and the subject having a certain degree of complexity, Mr. Drummond's calcu, lotions were challenged in a flippant abusive style by Mr. Croker. For a short time opinion was suspended as to the accuracy of the principle he adopted, and we feel pleasure in recalling the fact, that the first vindica tion of it was written by the editor of this paper. Some calculators of inferior note lent their support to Mr. Croker's objections, but ultimately all doubts of Mr. Druirimond's accuracy were silenced by the conclusive testimony of Sir John Herschel, Professor Wallace, and other two of the most eminent mathematicians in Britain. What was probably not less gratifying to Mr. Drum mond's kind and ingenuous nature, the gentlemen asso ciated with him in the labours of the burgh reports, of which-he. was charged with the general st:perintend'ene, presented him with an affectionate `address, expressive of their esteem and admiration. These duties brought Mr. Drummond into contact with - several Members of the Goverment ; and his talents and character made so favourable an invression on -Loa ~Althoiii; then . Chancelltrof the Excheper, -that his LordiiipirTeppOinted him his Private Secretory, _aft 'office not pf a.conspieuous kind, but one . of great lahnhi;o- The merits of thio:exoellent nobleman (whom' Earl Grey caled the "right hand " of his Ministry) are now well known. Sound judgnaent, high honour, man liness, simplicity, and disinterestedness, were the leading features of his character ; and we cannot help thinking that it was sympathy with a kindred spirit, more than a mere regard to the ordinary accomplishments of a Secre tary, which induced his Lordship to engege the services of Mr, Drummond. Whatever was the primary mo tive, Mr. Drummond soon gained his Lordship's entire confidence, and was treated by him to the end of his life as a highly valued person and friend. After the close of Mr. Drummond's examinations before Lord Roden's committee last year, Earl Spencer wrote to him, entreating him to arrange his journey home so as to enable him to spend one day at Althorp, that they might meet again before death divided them—words strangely prophetic. Whether he obtained the office of Under-Secretary in Ireland on his Lordship's recom mendation, we arc not aware ; but we know that on retiring from power his Lordship declared that Mr. Drummond's talents could only find an adequate sphere for their exertion in the highest offices of the State. The Dublin Papers tell us that Mr. Drummond, being little known, and not an Irishman by birth, was coldly received on his first arrival in the country. Per haps, also, his quiet unostentatious manners were ill cal culated to make a favourable impression in Ireland ; but his sterling merits soon found their way to the hearts of a grateful people. We doubt if his modesty permitted him to have any adequate idea of his own talents, or of the benefits he had it in his power to confer on some millions of his fellow-beings, till events unfolded the ' truth to him. From the day that be took office, he dedicated the whole energies of his mind to the service of Ireland. Though a zealous Whig, he was not a party man, in the vulgar sense of the term. Justice to all, was the pole-star of his course, and there never vas perhaps a public man, who, placed in the very centre of furious party contention, rose so completely above the contamination of factious motives. It has been truly said, that in the Government of Ireland be held the labouring oar. Though functionaries of higher rank transacted the business of the country in Parlia ment, the wants and the grievances of Ireland were known in all their detail only to Mr. Drummond, and it was his deep insight into her condition, and warm sympathy with her wrongs, which were the main spring of those healing measures which have worked so salutary change in the state of the country, within these few years. Though mildand gentle in his nature (we speak from personal knowledge), andalways disposed to temper justice - with . mercy, to one knew better " how to robitke the oppressor's wrong, the proud man's contumely," when :fit occasion arose. His reply to the Orange Magistrates of Tipperary, in May 18.38, expresses beautifully, but with all the caution of a states man, the just indignation of a pure and lofty mind at the abuse of power. It contains the memorable words— " Property has its duties as well as its , ights," which will not soon be erased from the hearts of Us people of Ireland. It was the proclamation of a great truth, for gotten or derided in that country. The words have been ascribed to Paley—we know not whether justly or not—but to Mr. Drummond belongs the honour of bring— ing them forth from the cloisters of the learned, and thundering them in the ears of men whose daily conduct they ought to guide. How much misery would have been averted—how much turbulence prevented—had the landholders of Ireland never been suffered to forget, that property has its duties as well as its rights Mr. Drummond's character seems to us not so much distinguished by any peculiar and prominent feature, as by the harmonious union of many high and useful qua lities. His clear and calm intellect enabled him readily to grasp the great lineaments of any question, and iris untiring applicat:on, joined with this, secured hint against the errors which beset less industrious persons. Ile had that noblest attribute of humanity, which shines forth so beautifully in Milton, Hampden, Locke, Washington ; he loved his species, felt a warm interest in their fort ones, and was, we hslieve, capable of laying down his life to promote their well-being. His com prehensive views of human nature kept hint free of nar row prepossessions, and taught lint charity and tolera tion ; and the high sense of duty under which he hilb tualiy acted made him straightforward and undaunted in the prosecution of a righteous object. His character bad both strength and beauty, combining fine intellect tt ith high moral sentiments. "He was only faulty," says the Examiner, " :n the neglect and sacrifice of himself. His devotion to busi ness was only surpassed by his devotion to the country. No Irishman felt the wrongs of Ireland more acutely, threw himself into her quarrel with more gallantry, or laboured with more assiduity to exalt her conaion, Mr. Drummond had an ambition beyond the routine of his employment ; this led him to overtask the energies of a frame not naturally of the strongest constitution, and hence proceeded that exhaustion which rendered him unable to resist the sharp disease that so suddenly assailed and overthrew him." A title, we believe, was placed within his reach, if he had been disposed to ac cept it, and more than one Irish constituency had of fered to return him to Parliament, where those who knew him best confidently anticipated that he would have risen to distinction. WELL :- " The Synod of Dumfries humbly overture the Vene rable the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland, that they adhere to their previous resolution relative to the independent jurisdiction of the Church in all spiri tual matters, and to support the principle of Non-intru sion involved in the Act of 1835 anent calls, and that they continue their exertions to procure some legisla tive enactment, whereby the present unhappy collision of the Civil and Ecclesiastical Courts may be termi nated, and the obstructions thereby occasioned to the peace. extension, and prosperity k of the Church, re moved." After a short discussion, this overture was rejected by 37 to 26—majority 11. The Rev. W. B. S►tnw of Langholne, after a short address, submitted for the adoption of the Reverend Court the following overture, in relation to the Non intrusion agitators " It being matter of public notoriety, that a number of established ministers of our National Church, de serting their own sacred charges and) arochial duties, have, for months past, been intrudingt hernselves, con trary to uniform ecclesiastical rule and usage, into the parishes of their clerical brethren, and even following divisive courses, in direct breach of their ordination vow, endeavouring to stir up unhallowed animosities, strife, and debate, in districts heretofore quiet and or derly, and to excite the Christian people, both by pre cept and example, to despise and vilify their appointed pastors, and to resist and contemn the legally•consti tuted autborit►es, which the Apostle declares to be " ordained of God ;" the Synod of Dumfries, deeply de ploring the mischievous tendency of such irregular conduct, as in the highest degree derogatory to the honour and respectability of the clerical character, and calculated to bring reproach and contempt upon the established religion, humbly overture the Venerable the General Assembly, indicted to meet at Edinburgh, 21st May, 1840, that a sentence of disapprobation be pronounced, and an effectual veto put upon such illegal procedure." Some discussion followed, and the overture was finally carried by 28 to 18—majority 10. Some other business having been disposed of, the Synod, at half-past one o'clock in the morning, adjourned till October. CENTENARY DINNER OF TILE LONDON HOSPITAL. The centenary anniversary of the foundation of this celebrated charitable institution was held on Thursday at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street. The at tendance of the company was unprecedentedly numer ous. The great ball-room of the Tavern was entirely laid out with tables, and it was with some difficulty that places could be procured by those who came late. The Duke of Cambridge presided. There were also present the Lord Mayor, the Bishop of Norwich (who preached the annual sermon in the morning), Mr. Byng, M.P., Col. Wood, M.P., Dr. Lushington, M.P., &c. The vocal talents of Messrs. Bellamy, C. Taylor, Broadhurst, Francis, Hawkins, &c., were retained, and in addition there was a full military band stationed in the gallery at the end of the room. Upon the removal of the cloth the usual toasts were given. The health of the Duke of Cambridge was proposed by the Lord Mayor, and drunk with feelings of respect and gratitude by all present. There were besides the ac customed toasts and the healths of the Royal Family many others more immediately connected with the objects of the Institution, all of which were drunk with applause. The Bishop of Norwich, Mr. Byng, and Dr. Lusbington, all addressed the com pany in the course of the evening, and expressed th e i r institution, and at the state of the funds of the and at the excellent arrangements for the benefit of the suffering poor with which the hospital abounds. The Treasurer read the Report, which, from its extreme length, took up nearly half the time of the meeting. Th e aggregate of subscriptions amounted to the immense sum of 11,3511., including 1,800/., which is a building fund reserved for erecting a ward o r rooms exc l usively for the use of the Jewish nation. The announcement of the extraordinary amount of subscriptions and do nations was hailed with heartfelt demoustrations of satisfaction. The funds of this establi s h ment h ave of l a te been flourishing, and now that the income is so greatly increased, it is expected, and very properly ex pected, that the laying of them ou t w ill b e entrusted to persons of competent abilities and int egr ity. The fes tivity of the evening was kept up till a very late hour. It was reported in Paris on Wednesday that Lord Granville was seriously indisposed. Deaf persons will experience the most incalcula ble benefits from the use of Mr. E. Solomon? voice -conductors. Although they are formed on a scale so small as to measure only a quarter of an inch in diameter, yet no instruments hi therto invented have proved so efficacUus and powerful. When placed in the ears persons are enabled to ear with distinctness the voice of a distant speaker in chuic heatre, or public as sembly. They are indeed beautif specimens, and no one could have supposed that any titin(v o perfect for relieving deaf ness could have been producefl. Great praise is due to Mr. Solomons for his invaluable ention of the amber spectacles, which was the only improvement effe c t e d i n t hi s part of optics for the last twenty years. They are far superior to all those in modern use, being lighter in construction, and convey a beau tiful coolness to the sight when engaged at any minute employ ment by day or candle-light. Th ey seem, indeed, from thei,r exquisite finish, to complete the triumph of this department of optics. They have received the patronage of the Royal Family, nobility, and the principal medical authorities in Europe. All persons wishing to avail themselves of Mr. E. Solomons' in vention, should mark particularly his address, he being no way connected with parti es o f th e same name, 1, Old Jewry, City, and 36, Old Bond -street. EXECUTION IN FRANCE.—A young man named Pierre Marie, whe was condemned to death on 16th ult. for the violation of a female named Decourtye, was executed at Chartres on the 2.rith ult. While in prison, he frequently declared th a t h e h a d a l ways pre di cte d f or hi mse lf so me great calamity when at the age of twenty, and that he had a strong conviction that his execution would take place forty days after his condem na ti on . It i s a cur i ous f ac t that, although efforts were making for a revision of his sentence, whidE rendered the time of execution very uncertain, it took place on the forty-first day. He was very contrite, and said, when preparing for the scaffold, that his death was necessary as an e xample to young persons. Early i n th e m orning a small plaster statue, in the attitude of suppli ca tio n , and bearing on its breast an inscription with the words " Pardon ! pardon !" was found at the foot o the scaffold. A great crowd was c ollected to see it, and con siderable sensation appeared to be excited. The statue was at length removed by the gendarmes, but nothing is known as to who placed it in that situation ! CROWN PROSECUTOR:—We have the ra iti - cation to announce that Mr.. Thomas O'llagan Las been ap pointed Crown Prosecutor on the North-East Circuit, in the room of Mr. NeLon, whose appointment as an Assistant-Bar rister we mentioned last week. The promotion of Mr. O'Hagan is a just tribute to his professional ability, and to his sealous and practical services in the public cause.—Dublin Eveniny Post. THE HIGHWAY ACT. A point of considerable importance under the High way Act has just been decided at the Kensington Special Sessions. On the surveyors of the highways for the parish of Kensington presenting their account* to be passed, the book was handed to them for the pur pose of their being sworn, when they refused to take the oath, contending that the Highway Act (sth and 6th William IV., cap. 50), in no part required that an oath should be administered, except upon making a com plaint. In presenting their accounts there was no complaint made, and there was consequently no oath necessary, the Act only stating that their accounts should be " verified," and that they should attend to answer any questions the Bench might put to them, which was all that was required by law of them, and which they were ready to do. Several of the Magistrates, on referring to the Act, were of the same opinion, and after referring also to the Act of the 6th William IV., " for. abolishing un necessary oaths," it was determined to substitute a declaration for the oath, which will in future be the practice. The divisional clerk then made a charge of ss. for fees, which was strongly resisted by the survey ors, on the ground that the Act of Parliament allowed, of no fees to. Magistrates' Clerks for passing of the ac counts. The Clerk produced a table of fees, signed by the Chief Justices of the Queen's Bench and Common pi cas , and by the Chief Baron of the Exchequer, on the authority of which be bad made his demani. The surveyor, however, contended that the 110th section of t h e Highway Act declares that " the several fees here- ' after limited and expressed, and no other, shall be taken, Sic., on the execution of this Act." The fees so li mited mentioned nothing about the passing of accounts, and the Bench considering the express words of the Act of Parliament to be paramount to the table of fees signed by the Lord Chief Justices, &c., refused to order payment of the amount, to the no small sat:sf.ic t i - tion of the surveyors of the different parishes prcsar.t.
