IRS,—I am instructed to send the enclosed report of ki the results of the public experiments on your Fire resisting Boxes and Safes, at the Camden Station of this Company, which was authorised by the Directors to be made under the immediate superintendence of their own officers ; and to congratulate you on the complete success of the very severe trials by which you have allowed your admirable invention to be tested. I am, airs, your obedient servant, R. CREED, Secretary. Messrs. Thomas Milner and Son, Liverpool. Patents for England, Ireland, and Scotland, sealed 1840. MILNERS' NEW PATENT FIRE-RESISTING DEED, PLATE, AND CASH BOXES, BOOK SAFFS, AND GUNPOWDER MAGAZINES, &c., &c., WARRANTED TO DEAR MORE HEAT, WITHOUT INJURY TO THEIR CONTENTS, THAN ANY OTHERS OF EQUAL DIMENSIONS. Of 14 graduating sizes, suitable for all purposes, from 30s. to £l4 each ; for additional inner chamber, doubling the thickness, and trebling the resisting power 50 per cent. more each size. The Chambers within Milners' Boxes and Safes con tain the best Chemical non-conductor of heat, and Tubes imbedded therein filled with alkaline fluid, which escapes into the non-conductor whenever Fire reaches the Box and heats it to the boiling point, steaming the chamberi and contents, neutralizing in the latent heat of the steam 1000 degrees of heat, keeping down the temperature, and preventing ignition. From every pint of fluid in the Chamber is slowly dis charged into and condensed in the contents of thy Box upwards of 200 Gallons of Stea►w, of more certain avail in saving the Papers than tons of water thrown into a burning building with the same object. The advantage of this principle, embracing "the exclu sive use of any material evolving moisture on the applica tion of heat," over every other description of Box or Safe, is the advantage that Water has over every thing else in quenching Fire. An Iron Safe of one inch in solid thickness exposed to red heat will char papers within it in fifteen minutes, and remain a burning prison for them for hours afterwards. Milner's Fire-resisting Principle has been investigated, tested in Red Heat from One to Twelve Hours, in various thickness, from 1 to 6 inches, and approved by the au thorities and scientific and practical men, in the leading towns of the three kingdoms. Under the auspices of the Royal Dublin Society and the Liverpool Polstechnic Society: see Mr. Samuel Woods, jun. pamphlet " On the Preservation of Documents from Fire," &c. Sce. &c. The patentees have certificates from parties whose books have been preserved by the boxes in fires on their pre mises. In the late fire in George-street, Manchester, nine out of ten houses lost their books in their iron safes. CAUTION.—None are genuine but such as have Milners' patent plates upon theta, svithithe date "sealed 1810." Fire-resitting Safe and Box Work:, 50A, Lord-olreet, and 47 to 53, Calde4treet, Liverpool.

That was his opinion and he had a right to hold it. He asked Superintendent Macdonald whether of his own per sonal knowledge he knew of his (Mr. P's) ever having interfered, directly or indirectly, with any orders given to the police force. Superintendent Macdonald replied—Not that I am aware of until this occasion. Inspector Goudy and James Billinge, clerk to the head constable, gave similar testimony. The MAvott asked Mr. Parker whether he would ask them any questions? Mr. PARKER.—No ; I am quite satisfied, for they all chime in together. Mr. RUSHTON asked Billinge whether he knew if this John Allen was a voter in St. Anne's Ward ? Billinge replied that Allen's house was in Shaw's-brow, at the corner of Mr. PARKER said that Allen was a voter, and he bad voted the right way. Mr. RUSLITON.—I did not ask you a question, Mr. Parker; I have no right to ask you any questions. [Mr. Hodgson here re-entered the room.] Mr. Commissioner Dowling was next examined. He said he knew nothing of the matter at the public-house. He only knew that Superintendent Jones said Mr. Par ker had stated that, if any information was laid, and if the person was convicted, he would appeal; but he had had no communication with Mr. Parker upon the subject. —ln answer to Mr. Rushton, the Commissioner said he had directed the officers, in the ordinary discharge of their duty, to go to the house and request that the colours might be taken down. This was not in consequence of any communication with the magistrates, but in his dis charge of the duty of head•constable, in consequence of the report made to him by Superintendent Jones.

He (Boothhv) told him they were in the hands of the officers. Mr. Parker then went away. __ Mr. UusnToN inquired whether this man Connor was a voter for St. Anne's ward ?—Boothby replied that lie did not know; but the description of him (in the ward list produced) was correct. Mr. SANDS asked if Connor had been prevented from voting ? Mr. RUSHTON believed he did not vote. Mr. HODGSON asked Boothhy whether any threat had been used towards him, or whether this was the only lan guage used by Mr. Parker ? BOOTHDY repeated the testimony just given above, and added that he had stated all that had passed. .There was not the least promise or threat held out. There was no body present but Mr. Parker and himself. This was the whole of the conversation, and there was no special induce ment or threat of any kind held out to him. The MAYOR.—Did he ask you if you could get the man taken ? Boothby : No, sir. Mr. HODGSON.—Was this upon the day of election Boothby : No; the day prior; upon the Thursday mornine. Mr. HOUGHTON—Did you know of any warrant being out against this individual, Connor? Boothbv—Yes ; I knew there were three. This being all the evidence, Mr. RUSHTON said, he thought it his duty, as one of the magistrates of the borough, to place upon record the form of a resolution which ought to pass as an expression of the opinion of the magistrates upon this matter. It appeared now, beyond all doubt, that there had been an unwarrantable interference upon the part of a member of the Watch Committee with officers in the execution of their duty in two instances, both aoplicable to the ward for which that individual was a candidate at the last elec • tion. He (Mr. Rushton) should not express any opinion of his own, having already taken the opportunity of so doing in pretty distinct terms, as to the attempt to have a voter arrested because they were short in the ward. He should at once propose what he thought would be right for the magistrates to hear, namely— " The Magistrates having ascertained that Mr. Parker, a member of the Council fur St. Anne's Ward, and also a member of the Wet eh Committee, has upon two occasions attempted to interfere with the officers of police in dis charge of their duty within the ward of St. Anne's, the magistrates have determined that the following resolution, passed at a meeting held at the Sessions' House this day, should be read to the police force by the Commissioner of Police as early as possible, taking care that every officer is present, and if not present, that he shall be in formed of the resolution :—Resolved that if any individual whatever shall directly or indirectly interfere with any superintendent, inspector, or other officer of the police force in the execution of his duty, every such officer shall forthwith communicate the fact of such interference to the Commissioner of Police, who shall lay the same im mediately before the Worshipful the Mayor; and that any officer of police who shall be interfered with, and who shall neglect to communicate the fact of such interference as aforesaid, shall be dismissed the force." And further, " That the Commissioner of Police cause a copy of the minutes of this meeting, and the fore g oi ng reso l u ti on t o be entered in the general order book of the police force." He begged to move the adoption of this resolution. (Hear, hear.) Mr. WILLIAM BROWN seconded the motion. . Mr. HODGSON said the resolution, as a general resolu tion, appeared to him to be not at all called for; and he would state candidly that, in his feeling, the occasion had been magnified beyond its importance. In fact, it would not have been noticed but because of political circum stances. It had been unadvisedly entered into, and be thought it would be found that the end to be answered by it would not be a good one. He disapproved of inter ference with the police upon the part of anybody, but he remembered at an election of members of Parliament, when a gentleman now present presided as chief magis trate, there being one of the most extraordinary placards (which he had in his possession) being stuck up in view of the Town-hall, and which was allowed to re main, exciting to assassination. (Cries of " Oh, oh.") He had the placard itself. Mr. Egerton Smith. the printer of it, denied it was po,ible that such an abominable thing could have proceeded from his press, but he afterwards found that it had, and he expressed his deepiegret for it. It so happened that he (Mr. Hodgson) had a correspond ence with the Mayor upon that occasion. Now he thought it very undesirable to resuscitate these kind of questions unless the object was pressing : and he disapproved of Mr. Parker's conduct exceedingly, but he disapproved of bringing him forward as a member of the Watch Com mittee. The Watch Committee disclaimed all right o interference for direction upon. the part of individual members, and he thought, therefore, that after what had before passed between the Magistrates and the Watch Committee, it would have been the better part of discre tion to have said uothing at all, but to have commended the officers for performing their duty—a duty which they had shewn aptitude and forwardness in performing. Mr. Parker had merely expressed his hope that an information might not be laid : he did not intimidate, or use threaten ing words. (Cries of "Oh, oh.") He (Mr. Hodgson) was quite aware that he was speaking to gentlemen who would take their own courseafter all; he would, however, express his opinion without meaning to 'offend any magis trate ; but, at the Fame ti me , h e wou ld no t offend his own conscience to please any set of men. The reso lution, under the circumstances, he thought a work of supererogation, because the officers bad shewn them selves perfectly free from lily influence s c , as had been unnecessarily or improperly attempted. No thing of the sort had been carried out with any power of intimidation. Mr. Parker had not attempted to succeed by bribery, a course too commonly resorted to at elec tions. It was, therefore, one of those cases that it would be much better to deal with in a different form. He knew upon one occasion, some time ago, when under • the strongest assurances that Orange Societies were illegal, many had calling o f made them ios nt r n a t this body of magistrates, not knowi ng th e l aw as they a n net the ha n contrary it re really Il y legal, w a s lie having tr t) l no d u might have done, but relying up on th e i r di scretion, as sented to a courseHe any thgaetn h e a l believed that regret ted afterwards, because th ey h a d not been proved to be t i ns l eeo l re e tr g en a societies, ot l fbrjrnuelenetrse. to intp but t on Watch Commitee to be upon th e i r guar d ; b ut he could not but think th a t thi s was an unhappy occasion, and that the cir cums t ances were not strong enough to call for the course which was propose d to be taken. Mr. RUS HTON t h en rose and spoke for a considerable time with tou c h warmt h . M r. Hodgson, he sa i d, wh i le professing the best fe e li ngs , b u t w i t h t h e wors t manner he ever saw ad o pt e d, c h arge d hi m (M r. R us ht on ) w ith want of kno w l e d ge , w i t h perfect want of discretion in bringi ng thi s matter f orward, f orgett i ng t h a t h e hid' no t brought fo rwar d— Mr. HoDGSON said be had charged Mr. Rushton with nothing of the sort. Mr: RUSHTON repeated that if he understood English at all, Mr. Hodgson referred to him. He had .s a id thi s matter was a work of supererogation, addressing himself repeated erresolution they to him (Mr. Rushton.) Mr. Hodgson had addressed him in all lie had said. If he had not addressed him, what did he mean by alluding to the Orange matter which had been before disposed of ? Upon that business he had only one word to say, that wherever and whenever his conduct might be arraigned fcr pursuing the course he did upon that occasion, he was prepared to contend, in the face of the country if it was necessary, that such a course was wholesome for the administration of justice, for the respectability of the force, for the safety, honour and integrity of that body, and also for the' cha racter of the magistracy. As to the insinuation about this being a work of supererogation, he would tell Mr. Hodgson, in the face of the magistrates. of Liverpool, that a case more pregnant with evil, more likely to entail shocking consequences upon the adminis tration of justice, he did not know. Wle,t was to become of it if not only a Candidate for award, but a member of the committee which had the appointment and dismissal of officers, called cut an officer from a public court of justice where lie was pursuing his duties, to ask him to go and arrest a voter for a particular ward as they were short in that ward ? (Hear, hear.) His fit rnest endeavours had been, ever since he became police ma. gistrate in Liverpool, to prevent every man connected with the administration of justice meddling, either for or against, in any political or kcal squabble whatever. (Hear.) Never having given a vote, though entertaining ' trong opinions upon political and local matters, he wall determined never to impair his general efficiency by his example to the ehole force. He knew it was sufficient for one man to preside over 300,000 people, and hold the ba lance even. And was he to be told, ir. the face of the magis trates of Liverpool, that when he detected a person doing a act such asMr. Parker had done by his officers, it was an act of supererogation to bring it before the magistrates of Liverpool, and told so too, by a magistrate !-- , (hear,)— a magistrate who prided himself, he presumed, in doing it in the most friendly and pious way, yet wtth imputations which he (Mr. Rushton) met with contempt—(hear, hear,)—imputations which he threw off with perfect in dignatioa ; imputations uncalled for in their nature, un just in their character, and not founded in truth. (Hear, le:.ar.) So far then for his own vindication, provoked to speak and adopt this noble science of self-defence, by this friendly intimation of that excellent magis?rate.; The ma gistrates would become the contempt and scorn of the pub lic if they passe.) by these things.' The fore ,I too would be annihilated. Mr. Dowling had taken every step in this matter without consulting him (Mr. Rushton), and he. had the confidence of the community. The question was whether Mr. Dawling was to be supported or not. Was that a work of supererogation? (Hear.) Was he to be sneered down by a magistrate—by the Chairman of the Watch Committee too who had the power of appointment and dismissal ? If he (Mr. ißushton) read his func tions aright or understood the law of the land, every ma-. gistrate in this country ought to applaud Mr. Dowling's conduct in this case, to give him every credit, ,and not term this a work of supererogation. It was no work of supererogation : It was a work of necessity ; and he told Mr. Hodgson that so long as he had the misfortune to re- - main in the office he held, he would on every occasion put his hand strongly upon every truth thing. (Cheers.) Superero gation or no supererogation the magistrates should hear of it, and the man was mistaken who thought he was made of materials that could be awed or intimidated, or sneered down, in the performance of his duty. (!fear.) This matter must now be made a formal matter of; every police-officer must understand the views arid opinions of the magistrates. (Hear, hear.) He had had the honour of a seat ht the meetings of the magistrates of Liverpool now for five years, and never upon any point save one— and that an ordinary point about some discipline of the gaol—had he differed from his - brother magistrates. Mr., Hodgson had, however, said that the magistrates had re gretted the decision they had come to upon a former occasion— Mr. HODGSON explained that he said " some of the nangi,trates." Mr. ItuSIITON repeated that the words were, the magis sttates had regretted their deeision b for he had taken down the words faithfully. But he asked Mr. Hodgson the name of those magistrates? (hear, hear.) He asked him again for the name of one, for this had now become a question of character. (Cheers.) He again asked him for the name of one magistrate who had expressed his re gret. In the face of the Mayor end magistrates of the town he called upon him to name, because he was not for being content under the insinuation. If there was any truth in it let them hare it. Who were they ? (Hear.) Mr. Honcsox.—l would rather let you finish. Mr. It USIITON.—Let us have their names. Mr. HonosoN.---I mean to say you nave said a great many things I never said at all. Mr. RUSHTON meant to say that he had never heard any magistrate exprees any regret for the course that had been taken, and, until he was better instructed by Mr. Hodgson, he should continue to hold the belief he held. Mr. HODGSON.—SO you may. _ _ Mr. RUSHTON again called for the name a the magis— trate who had expressed regret. [Mr. HODGSON.—Very well.] Having been so attacked, he had taken this bold,, manly, fair course of defending .himself and the magis trates; and he should be ready to defend their conduct in spite of every thing that might be done to frown or sneer them down, either by imputations against their offices or inuendos against the magistrates themselves. Mr. HonGSON said he denied the right of Mr. Rushton,.. colossal as he was acknowledged to be, to appropriate to himself the observations which he (Mr. Hodgson) had made. Those observations were applied to the magis trates at large. He was perfectly aware from the eloquent and forcible manner in which Mr. Rushton had put it that he would carry the meeting with him; but his (Mr. Hodg son's) judgment remained unchanged, and he was still perfectly convinced that the magistrates would have done well not to have made so much of the matter. Mr. EARLE said that from the fiery zeal, and charitable glances which the gentleman had given him— Mr. HODGSON.—I really did not see you. Mr. EARLE—Oh, you are not so blind. (Hear.) He presumed from the glances directed towards him that the gentleman alluded to him when he spoke of the placard at the election some years ago, during his mayoralty. He (Mr. Earle) did not recollect the circumstance at all; for he was happy to say he did not bear those rancouroua feeling that some others generally did. But upon the subject of this unfortunate business being brought forward, why l eb y ad advice, given to him t o men tionpu b t a l i l u k . e d He so w m a t s t cuhu not ch content to Mr. Parker that his conduct would not be t he ap proved h i e t h vwe thi cag(clevanistcelee,aotipahenen f c ri t o l e ) o u t d h of. No, no, he said, lie must hear the thing. He had been gratified ; and Mr. Parker had met with a friend who might have prevented anything of the sort, but who, had proved himself an unfortunate and an injudicious friend. Mr. SANDS said he thought the resolution a very pro per and correct one. The resolution was then adopted; and it was followed. by another, to the effect that the conduct of a.'d the officers concerned (except Superintendent Jones) merited the strongest approbation of the magistrates. The meeting then separated. SHIPPING AT SUNDERLAND.—For some years past there have not been so many ships in this port at one time as during the last week ; not fewer than 700 vessels were lying between the Lambton staiths and the Low Quay, so that the channel of the river could scarcely be kept clear. Freights may be said to be remunerative, and alto gether there is a good prospect of a brisk coal trade during the winter, and of reviving commercial activity in every branch of business.—Durham Advertiser. HARD CASE.—At the Yorkshire Assizes last year, person, named Jcseph Mason, was tried for having bur glarious!), entered a house at Hall Moor, and was sen tenced to 20 years' transportation. From the man's pre vious good character and other circumstances, great exertions were made to obtain a reprieve of his sentence. The efforts were unsuccessful, and the poor fellow was sent to Norfolk Island. This week, however, two men who have been committed to York Castle for felony have confessed that they, together with two other persons now at large, committel the burglary at Hall Moor for which poor Mason has been transported. The two prisoners have also confessed that four other persons have been un jmtly transported fur offences which were perpetrated by the Hall Moor burglars.—Leeds Mercury. SERIOUS CASE.—An investigation is now going for warl at Wolverhampton, in which a lady of hitherto respectable character, together with a married sister and 's young surgeon of that town, is charged as being impli cated in n case of infanticide. On the 28th ult., the body of a female child was found dead in Queen-street, at the back of the house of Mr. Quinton, surgeon. It appears that for some time previous to the finding of the body, Mr. Hildreth, printer residing in the town, had paid daily visits to Mr. Quinton's surgery, always inquiring very particularly for Mr. Sheriff, Mr. Quinton s assistant. Mr. Quinton interrogated his assistant as to the cause of these frequent visits, and was informed Mr. Hildreth wished him (Mr. Sheriff) to procure abortion "for a person of great respectability, secrecy being guaranteed, and money no object." Mr. She r iff as k e d Mr. Quinton if he would attend, but that gentleman refused to do so:- Mr. Sheriff informed Mr. Quinton that the party was- Miss Railton, of the Post-office ; and subsequently ap plied to Mr. Doubler, of the same place, to procure abor tion:describing her in terms similar to those he had used to Mr. Quintet', but omitting the name. Mr Doubler also very properly declined to attend. Since the finding of the body at Mr. Quinton's, the suspicion attached to Miss Railton that the child was hers, and the was even tually apprehended. She at first denied having had a child, but since her apprehension has made disclosures seriously affecting Mrs. Hildreth, (her sister) and Mr. Sheriff, Mr. Qui n t on ' s ass i s f ant.. F rom her statement it appears that on last Sunday night three weeks, at Mr. Hildreth's house, at t we l ve o ' c l oc k at noon, Mr. Sheriff went and perform e d an operat i on, and she was in dreadful pain and agony from the time he had done this until she was delivered of a child. The body was taken away three or four nights afterwards, anti the material question in the investigation is, whether the body found is that of the same infant. From the post mortem examination made by Mr. Fowke, there appears no doubt that the child found upon Mr. Quinton's premises was born alive. Mr. Sheriff, Miss Railton, and Mrs. Hildreth are in custody.—London paper. DREADFUL RIOTS.—For several days last week a series of very formidable conflicts took place in Lord Har boroughs park, at Stapleford, in Leicestershire, between, his lordship's tenantry and labourers and the emp/olds of :the Peterborough and Midland Railway. The latter party were very anxious to proceed with the survey through the park, in order to be ready with the plans by the 30th in stant, and the former were as determined to prevent them. On Satu r d a y morn i ng a party of nearly 100 men climbed over the park paling on the part nearest Oakham, beaded by Mr. Morris, solicitor; Messrs. Cope, Rooper,, Colthurst, and others, the surveyors, and commenced measuring with three or four chains ; the party being so formidable, and his 'lordship's retainers having been dis persed at several points in the park containing 800 acres of land, the forge at the part where the breach was made,. was too small to resist them, and were mere spectato rs .. Mr. Latham, unfortunately for his party, went to Oak s w to ard b)e, hurt,barn by Whissendino and Langham, and missed the great 'body of 'men, who came by Ashwell and Teigh, and the forces of his lordship were not, therefore, concentrat e d to the point of entrance. By the time the surveyors h a d .reached opposite to his lordship's beautiful cottage, w h ere resides,he i l l d " him Fab t li l n a g t if ( h e wished liB not s ton a pony, came up, bringing with him a few of his troops. Mr. Copeto he had better retire ; and on hi s refusing to do so, the railway men were ordered to remove him. Mr. Fabling ordered the meas ur i ng c h ains to be taken up. His situation at that moment was perilous • but being much respected by hi s L ordship's tenants and servants, they rallied round him fur protection, began to feel confi dence in their leader and their own strength, and the fight became general. To describe the scene that followed is impossible. Brown, the lock-keeper of the Oakham Canal, a powerful man, rendered great service to his Lordship, sending his opponents head over heels at every blow ; time t:oise was so great that it was heard in the villages two miles off. The spikes of the railway party were thrust into the sides of the def?nders . of the park, and after a battle of about five minutes, and many broken. heads, wounded faces and sides, the lower grade of the intruders gave way. Wariants have been issued against several of the rioters, and when they are brought before tie magistrates it will be seen whether a powerful railway company can thus act with impunity.

The Bankers' Circular which may be considered almost as the oracle of the private banking interest, contains in its last number various remarks on the present state of the country issues under the new system, and the recent proceedings of the Bank of England with regard to the charge on transmitting money to different parts of the country. After quoting the details of the plan, the writer observes, that the disregard manifested by the directors for the interest of those country bankers how have stipulated to issue the promissary notes of the Bank and no other, is one of the most remarkable features of the proceeding. Most of these bankers have, it is said, faith fully adhered to their engagements, and have paid the Bank at the rate of 3 per cent. per annum for the use of money during a protracted period, when they could have obtained the accommodation in the money-market at little more than half the rate, and nnw the Bank makes use of its newly acquired power by offering premiums to the customers of their confiding agents, to bring business to the Bank of England. These words, which are merely abridged from the ori ginal article, seem to convey a charge of ingratitude against the Bank of England, and, further on, that es tablishment is expressly charged with " grasping at a monopoly." For all remarks of the sort the Bank of England can find a ready answer—namely, that having been deprived of their functions as managers of the cur rency, they must throw all their energy into their banking business, and in justice to their proprietary must adopt all measures that will increase the amount of their transac tions, and keep up the rate of their dividend. If the pre mium which they offer for keeping accounts with them answers the desired end, it is hard to see on what prin ciple they are to shun adopting it. They consider them selves as exactly on the same ground as private bankers, and that all methods that would be legitimate for these may be followed by themselves without hesitation. The " Circular" reports, that the country issuers are put to much inconvenience by the change of system, the license for a maximum of £8,000,000, proving not much more than one for an average of £6,000,000, considering the amount that the banker must keep in his till to avoid risk. Hence the same paper recommends them to adopt any " legitimate means" to supply a deficiency, especially in places where there is a reluctance in taking Bank of England notes on account of the alleged difficulty in de tecting forgery at a distance from town. Thus a plan which, it seems, is in vogue among the bankers of the north is recommended for general adoption. These bank ers, instead of drawing a bill, say at 20 days' sight, have printed letters of credit, in which they say, " On the day of— you will please to honour the draught of A.B. for £—, and place that sum to the debit of our account." Another plan is for a banker to write "accepted" or " allowed" across a check presented for payment, and then to return it to the presenter, that he may use it for any local purpose as an ordinary note. All these plans of adopting a substitute for a note circulation seem to mark a strong spirit of opposition among the banking in terest to the provisions of the new law. The Bank of England return for the week ending the 9th of November, which appeared in the last night's Gazette presents the following results : The week ending 9th of November, compared with the week ending 12th of October, being the week immediately preceding the payment of the dividends, shows— . .. . . • Increase Decrease.

A meting of the magistrates of the borough was held in the Sessions-house. at two o'clock yesterday, for the purpose of investigating certain charges made by some police-officers, alleging interfermce with them in the dis charge of their duties by Mr. James Parker, the successful candidate for St. Anne's Ward at the late municipal elec tion. The following magistrates were present,—The Mayor (who presided), Messrs. Crosthwaite, Harvey, Earle, Hornby, Walmsley, Chaloner, Hodgson, Rath bone, Dixon, Rushton, Bolton, Be nn , B rown , Aiki n, Sands, Houghton, Percival, M a x we ll, G rant , an d S hand. Mr. Parker was present during part of the proceedings. Mr. PARKER, having taken a seat, said he wished to claim the right, not as a burgess, but as an Englishman, to know by whom he was accused? The MAYOR said it had been requested that if any ex aminations were gone into, he (Mr. Parker) should be present; and if he heard anything iu the evidence that was incorrect; he might ask any questions upon it that he thought proper. _ _ _ tion6sox said he did not think this was magiste rial business, and therefore he would have nothing to do with it. (Mr. Hodgson then retired from the room.) Mr. PARKER presumed he should be furnished with a copy of the evidence. If he was to be accused, he hoped they would favour him with a copy of the accusations brought against him. This was a privilege which he trusted the magistrates were not going to deny him. The MAYOR repented that Mr. Parker should have an opportunity of asking any questions. Mr. PARKER said it was within two hours that he had beard of any accusations being brought against bim, and he thought it unfair and unjust if he was not to be fur nished with the evidence, in order that he might reply to it. Mr. RUSHTON said that more than two hours ago Mr. Parker had insisted upon being present: and further he happened to know that Mr. Parker was cognizant of the charges, Mr. PARK ER.—I was not. Mr. RustlTOV.—Not before ten o'clock ? Mr. PARKER.—No, I was not. Mr. HORNBY moved that the charges be heard. Superintendent Jones was then called in and his infor mation read—it having previously been reduced to writ ing. In substance it was, that at half-past 1 o'clock in the afternoon of the sth instant, he was informed there were two Orange flags hanging out from the second windoy of the house of John Allen, who keeps a publidibouse in Mill-lane, Shaw's-brow. He went there, and called the landlord, and begged the flags might be taken down; but the landlord said they should not till four o'clock, but if he chose to do so, there would be no interference with him. He could not prevail upon them to take the flags in; and he reported to the commissioner what had taken place, who directed him to lay an information, if there was any drunken or disorderly con duct in the house. He then went back, and expostulated with the landlord, who stated that he belonged to the o -der himself ; that there were 16.000 of them in Liverpool, and if he offended them he might as well shut up his house ; it would be hi, ruin. Inspector Goody came up, and be tried to prevail upon them to take the flags in ; but he could not. Superintendent Macdonald then arrived, and one flag was taken in at half-past three, the other, they said they would not take in till four o'clock. the landlord and several of the men were drunk, and Superintendent Macdonald said it would be his duty to lay an information. The same evening, at nine o'clock, Mr. Parker came to Rose-hill police station, and addressing himself to Superintendent Macdonald, said something about the public-house in Shaw's-brow. After that, Inspector Goudy brought in his report, and Super intendent Macdonald read it to Mr. Parker. Mr. Parker said he hoped no information would be laid, as it would excite great political feeling, which he wished to avoid after the election had been done with. He (Superintend ent Jones) said he perfectly agreed 'with. Mr. Parker's remarks. Superintendent Macdonald said the case should be laid before the Commissioner, and of course be left to his decision. The next morning, he (Superintendent Jones) called at the Commissioner's office, and said he thought it would be better not to lay an information, as it would excite great political feeling. The information was, however, heard on Friday last, and the landlord was fined fifty shillings. By Mr. PARKER.—Did you ever know me in any way to give an order to any policeman or inspector, except through the proper channel ?—Not that I aen aware of. The deposition was then signed by Superintendent Jones Mr. RATIMONE suggested that it should be sworn to, but the suggestion was not acted upon. Superintendent Macdonald was the next witness. He said he saw the flags flying from a window in the second story ; and on going up-stairs he found o f t h e fl ags was w ithd rawn at his request; Jones engaged in a violent altercation with a num b er of persons, among whom was th e l andlord. policeman, who said weilloffouarnex o'clock, and it rema i ne d One pa e o'clock, M r . P ar k er, w i t h a friend,hbt eul ltwtth ohautldothercalled . aArßstbiowonsuietct-hhhanii it ill police-station, and asked what was done with Allen's house, and whether an information was laid ? He said they had a right to hang out the flags, and no law could prevent them. He was then informed that the information would be laid for allowing drunken ness. He said he should like to see the magistrates look as sharp after ribbonmen as they did after Orangemen ; but he was resolved to have the matter inquired into. When Inspector Goudy had finished his report he (Mac donald) called Mr. Parker into the office and read it to him, on which he said the magistrates had nothing to do with drunkenness in the day time, and if they convicted, as he had no doubt they would, he said, emphatically, he would appeal to the sessions. —The rest of the deposition related to Superintendent Jones's part in the conversation, in which be expressed his desire that the matter lhould not be proceeded with. Mr. PARKER denied having said anything aboitt pealing against any decision of the magistrates. t he said was, that if there had been green flags ut tart : d pf Orange, an information would not have be( ti it) pr, i.pt.
