Lori Justice Lord Cranworth said the only doubt he felt
was whether, if he bed himself been acting as commissioner,
he should have exercised the discretion given to him in the
same way. However that might be, the whole "utter
nett d on the discretion of the commissioner; and that din
erction ought not to be interfered with, unless it had been
wrongfully exerciwil. He thought it was uafit that the
eosin should interfere merely on the ground that possibly
it might under the same circumstances have acted differ..
ently.
Lord Justice Knight Bruce said he concurred entirely In
the conclusion which his learned brother had arrived at.
The petition''f appeal was then dismissed with costa.

RATS WADS ST • MINORITY or Pantsittonzu IN
VRATNT ASS LLLLL D Anal Boycott ST • MAJORITT.
Mr. flerjeant Bytes and Mr. Mellor, un behalf of the
plaintiff in error, contended that a lawful church rate could
only be made by ceder or resolution of an actual majority
of the churchwardens and parishioners duly assembled in
vestry for that purview. From the earliest times in which
• churen rate ia mentioned, it hes been made by the major
part of the periebionere If the minority may make • rate,
one ratepayer re ay make it, and it would ant be necessiry
that there 'Amid let any rote upon the question. The
power of betake by levying • rate was always in the majo-
rity of the personal to be maid, unless where it bad on aca
count of the inconvenience 'serene,'" from it, been taken
away by statute, as iu the caw of sewer. rates, Ile. In this
ewe the rate in question was cot authorised by any order
or resolution passed in vestry, and the rat* was made not
only witheut the consent but *gland ibe will of the majo-
rity thin new nabled, and nailer part in the proceedings.
No mention could authoioe the making of • rate
otherwise than by the ord. r or resolution of an
actual majority of the vestry. The effect of the
monition was I deprive persons of ricii.e for nut attending
the vestry, and was no more than a condition precedent to
the puniehment of pers.'ns ref Wising to attend and to melte
• rate. The oaly con.equence of such refusal by the pa-
rishausers was to sullied them to ecclesiastical censurer.
The renew ...Waled by • majority of the court below
were mainly bawd on the summed analogy ht twee. this
case and that of an election to • ni meted office; bat this
was • deliberative or legislative, not • ministerial act, the
&side• brie.; by absolute and not by relative majorities.
The doctrine of a conetructive majority was not a safe
Rif: ler the analogy. The analogy of electo-il proceed-
was not a safe ante, for thew were combatted on • very
t principle Irons the prostedings of • deliberative
amenably. There only one gavottes was proposed at • time.
Only sea rate could he' put at a time; for if several were
proposed, • rate might be carried spinet the absolute ma-
laxity. or there might be a majority against each rate.
There was great variety in the mode of electinam, but there
was no case in which the minoriy could nut merely stop
and control tbe premed:mt. of the body, but elect against
the preen vans of the malonty. The argument was sup-
ported by many sllustratieus tuna the proceedings of legis-
lative end municipal basins, and also by refereuce to eerie.
siestital history, particularly to the Council of Trent,
In all of which the resolutions were parsed by abso-
lute majorities. It was said that it would be
very inconvenient if • church rate could nut be
made, if the majority of the perishes were determined
to oppose themselves to the common law obligations
incumbent on the churchwardens and parishioners to keep
the church in prep r r. pair ; but the argument availed
little in toe, of the hard rule"( the common law, that no
church rite e amid he made unless by order or n solution of
an actual maority. Throuehout the great majority of pa.
tithe. the weight of opinion was ant against church rates •
but should the llou-e of Lords atlirm the principles laid
down ia the court below, the consequences would be that
in addition to the weight of opposition by those who were
conattieatiously opposed to such payments, there would
arise a feeling in the nund of many others that the burthen
was one raised on • system of injustice. The argument of
the karned coinerl extended to an elaborate view 01 the
various cans and authoritiescited in the judgment of the
Exchequer Chamber, but this could not he made in
telligible in a report without the quotation of large portions
of • most voluminous judgment.
The Soliciew-Generel and Mr. Ogle, for the reasons
above cited, argued contra on hi ba' f of the defendant in
error, that the judgment of the Exchequer Chamber ought
to be affirmed. Looking to all the authorities which had
bees cited in the judgment below, in the rouse of the
tirrcut here, there was not one case in which it had been
that
a rate imposed like this was an invalid one. They
only amounted to thee that the Bishop could not impose a
rate ; that the Archdeacon that coramiwioners can-
not impose one ; that the churchwardens alone,
without convening a vestry, cannot impose one; th it
the churchwardens could not itnpoe. a rate alter
the vestry was broke.; up. On the other band, they.
found the case of " Thurdield r. Jaime" (I Ventris, 36,),
where it was said that if the parishioners refused to make a
rate, the churchwardens might make one ; and there was
the dictum of Lord lielt, in the ease of " Pierce r. Prowse,"
reported under various names. but which would he found in
Comberbech, that if the parishioners, when duly convened
for the purpose, wall not make a rate, the churchwardens,
that is, pro hat vice, may make • rate. Then there was
the authority of Sir Simon Mugge, in "The Person's Counsel-
lor," • man whose work had always been regarded as of con-
siderable authority, who retained a sineilaropinion, although
ho admitted that a different opinion was entertained by
some others. Therefore, as far as the authorities went
(and there were none against them), they supported the
position now contended for. The ease of " Gambier v.
Bilby " (I Curtis), was adverted to in " Vele,' v. Burdes,"
but the court in the latter judgment suegested the very
marmot procedure which hail been Adopted by the church-
warder., and which had given rise to the present proceed-
lags. Thejedgmeat of this house would be one of the
very highest isrettmess. Should their lordships adjudge
in favour of the pried( in error, the judgment would hare
this effect, that reser korlally euswesed for • given pur-
pose might refuse to pap; elitist ray prevent the amen-
meet of a rate, but deter the wishes at the whole body of •

had been tiled by the plaintiff to obtain a decree declaring
a partnership dusolved, end to have the partnership sie-
counts taken. The business carried on was that of solici-
tors at Hendon. and the 01117 peculiarity in the ease
arose from the defendants having held certain °Mem as
clerks to turnpike trusts and boards of guardians, the pro.
credo of which were declared by the partnership deed to be
partnership property. His Honour decreed that the part-
nership had been dissolved, and that the offices held by the
defendants should be valued by the Muter, after allowing
a rea•oeuible sum for the expense of conducting the busi-
Dew. and that the defendants should be considered as in-
debted to the partnership funds in a sum equal to the

The assistant judge said he knew nothing of the facts of

Bodkin said he would put the court in possession of
them. The gentleman at the bar was introduced in the
year 1849 to the library of the British Museum in the usual
way, which was to procure a respectable recommendation
to obtain the privilege of admission, and in the course of his
visits he coasulted several works, from which it appeared
he had from time to time abstracted the prints in question.
The prints were not of themselves of ally very great value,
and from the mode in which he obtained them, and the
manner in which ho dealt with them subsequently, it did
not appear that he deliberately took them for the purpose
of getting money for them, but that this unfortunate gen-
tleman took them for an album of his own, which was
found to contain about 280 French prints. These bad
been abstracted from a work called " Les Francais,"
descriptive of the French people in different parts
of that counfty, an ler circumstances which rendered
detsetice seenewkat difficult, for the crowds of persons who
availed themselves of the resources of that vast and magni.
lesst solleetien, the library of the British Museum, were
so large, that these things unfortunately could be committed
without the certainty of discovery. The officers of the
Museum had referred to the records kept of the visits of
readers, and the books supplied to thins on each occasion,
and found that from 1849, to May, 1850, the prisoner from
time to time was supplied with the books from which these
plates were taken, but be did not appear to have gone there
after May, 1850, and the missing prints were found in his
album in January last, so that it was clear his object was
not to turn them into money: if that had been his object,
why had he not done so between May, 1850, and Jammu,
18.12? On the part of the trustees of this winsl establish.
meat ho had to my that they had every desire to give sway
facility to the raiding public, but they email set permit •
ease of this kind to be passed over, and not fade the sub-

magistrate on the charge. At the eleventh hour the pri-
soner bad confessed that he had m far forgotten his station
and character as to commit them petty thefts ; but, seder
all the circumstances, ho felt judged in asking the mart le

A FATEZIL

riD TOR TZACHINO HIS SON TO
THIIVZ.

KAILLBOROUGH-STREET.

Thomas Wilmot and Edward Hal were charged with
obtainiat as entrance Into the residence of the Rev. Joreph
Kinky, 27, Charlerstreet, Berkely-square, by false pre-
tenor, for the purpose of committing felony.
Mr. Keeley deposed that on Monday evening, about sits
o'clock, he was expecting a party to spend the evening with
him, and went up-stairs to dress. As he was dressing he
heard a double rap at the street-door, and supposed it one
of the party invited. In a minute or so his servant came
to him and said 's a gentleman by the name of Dicken-
son, and another party by the name of Crouch, wanted
to see him." When dressed, he went down stairs, and
to his surprise he found in the drawing-room
the defendant Wilmot, who called himself Dickenson,
and in the peewit, he saw the defendant Hill, who called
himself Crouch. Witness felt indignant at string such a
man ea Wilmot in the drawing-room, and demanded to
know what business he had there. lie appeared confused,
and stated that he had called upon him a little before
Christmas, offering articles for sale, and that witness then
dismissed him, promising that if he would call again, ie
would attend to anything ho had to say, laving then unable
to do so from press of busbies,. Witness did not recollect
the circumstance, but remembered giving an answer to
some one, but nut to tin prisoner. Prosecutor then remon-
strated with the prisoner about intruding himself into his
house at so unseasonable an hour, and asked him for his
name and address, said else that of his companion. The
prisoner Wilmot said his name was Tree, and gave witness
a curd with that name on it, but no address ; and the other
gave the name of Hill, and said lie wee a hell-hanger.
They subsequently gave such a confused account of them-
'elves that he gave them both in charge on suspicion of
obtaining an entrance into his house for the purpose of com-
mitting a felony.
Inspector Parke, C division, said on that evening, about
seven o'clock, the prisoners were brought to Vine street
station, charged by the reverend prosecutor under the cir-
cumstances detailed by him in his °eidetic... Witness asked
them their names and addresses, when one gave the name
of Willmott, and the other Hill. He then asked what their
object was in going to the house at that hour, when they re-
plied that they weat to sell lame sharpening files, and to
do a little bell hanging. Ile subsequently sent • constable
to the persons they had referred him to, and in reply re-
ceived a wry unsatisfactory account of them. Witness
added that mazy robberies had been committed in gentle-
men's houses of late, by parties resembling the prisoners,
who bad obtained an entrance by similar means.
Millerman, 96 11, proved that Wilmot was an associate of
thieves, and that Hill was what is called • flying bell-
hanger," and in no regular employment.
sts: jirhoners, who made a long rambling defence, were
re ed for a week.

dicted for having feloniously received iiilWees and other
articles, value 10s., the property of Nary Ana Nash and
