their game against Mr. Oath& on the ooly
on which there wee at all likely to be say
moor even a section of the people that was not abso-
lutely in his favour. It happens that Mr. Gaskell is
an unitarian, audio Wakefield there is much strength
among the evangelical thatch party and the Unita-
rian dissenters. During the severe mutest white
took place fur Yorkshire in 1807, the present Visor of
Wakefield was as active partisan for Mr. Lessike,
afterwards the Earl of Hare wood. Is 1810, upon
this valuable living becoming vacant, this gentleman
received it from the crown, as was understood, at the
instigation of this family. It was not sorption&

4117 voted est of 611. registered, and Mr. Oath& was
returned by a rosjiesty of nearly 60, the numbers be-
ing—he Gmkell, 277; Lamellae, 220.
The number Mr. Lscelles riled upon this occa-
sion was greater than his partisans had expected,
and the majority, though large, was narrower
than the liberals believed probable. There were
various reagens for this. The tones had strained
every exertion, whilst the liberals had reposed in
fancied security of an easy triumph. The regtstra'ion
had not been attended to, and the lists were in an un-
sound state. For instance, whilst there had been 722
electors on the register fur 1832, that number had de-
clined, in the face of an incresaing population, to 617
in 1834. This inspired with hopes of socceps another
time, the Liscolles party laboured, immediately after
their dehat, to secure a triumph when another oppor-
tunity presented itself. They began by working amour
the smaller tradesmen, with whom, by dint of
coaxing and expenditure, they made successful way.
They attended very carefully to the registration
courts, and if this bad boon all there would have been
little foundation for complaint. But condo amongst
them commenced a covert system with a view of
commanding votes from workpeople. A number of
small houses were bought up; in one instance the
greater part of an entire street. These were let out
to the workpeople employed by the pwchasers
and to others directly or indirectly under their
influence, who were placed upon the regitter
as ten pound occupiers. By these measures the
number on the register was brought up to the
original mark, and the tory managing book some
time before the death of William IV. was Wade to
look very favourable to the success of the petty.
When the election of 1837 came, it soon was evi-
dent that a very close contest must take place in
Wakefield. All the tory preparations were well
made. The town was divided into districts, and am-
nion radio semiarid tench. A ajatemof "treats"
was erommenew4 emsaminT the shape of "evening
"to bulk over political matters at the public-
whin the pipes and beer were paid for by the
seselltdie numbers of the party. This went on to a
eery great extent, but it is difficult at this distance of
doe to fix the precise particulars, because at the tame
pried a most exciting contest was going forward for
the West Riding, and it is difficult to guard spinet
up the details of two contests the scene and
which were the same. On this occasion,
aof
, it is certain that most of the practices
et the worst electioneering system were resorted
to. There were charges of direct bribery alleged
against the Lascelles party at the time. One
man went to the hustings to vote for

publicly declared to have been given him to poll
for the other side. In the heat of the excitement
occasioned b the contest the story was believed, and
some thoughts were entertained of founding upon
that and of m. circumstances a petition to the House
of Commons, complaining of the return. This, how-
ever, was sever done, road now that the circumstances
are better understood, the particular allegation of
bribery re'erred to, is considered toga a doubtful
character, and the charge originally upon it is

were then "true J, sad Mr. Lamella; being placed

The feeling of the liberals, and, indeed, of the whole
Sewn, upon this subject was extremely strong. It
was not believed that Mr. Holdsworth ever had had

erne digit sot in respect of it. The town, with almost
sae mmseat, refused to recognise Mr. Laming se
tie stembr. No petitions were sent to him for
promillaliss, and any local bashing in which they
Imes seasamed they entrusted to some other member
el the Howse of Commons. When Sir Robert Peel
pas his measure for corn law repeal, Mr.
II voted in its :favour ; and at a sidmerpment
period, when the whip came into power, he smiled
altogether from the tory pity, and accepted office
with the present government. It might have bees
expected that the liberals of Wakefield would, under
these circumstances, have extended him a Meetly
hand. Many of them say they would have dose en
had Mr. Lamella stood in the same •
in which he was placed in 1837, n that
of a representative returned by a majority.
But, situated as he war, they would have
nothing to say to him. As for his own party, there
was deep wrath in Wakefield when they head of
their member's secession from the tory ranks. His
sycophants soon became his calumniators. They threw
down their idol and trampled it in the dust, and per-
haps at the present time no man is so bitterly re-
viled by the toile' of this town as he whom they so
warmly supported through the two fiercely-oontested
elections of 1837 and 1841.
With the last general election it became necessary
to select anew represenmtive. A year or two previously
a requisition had been got up to Mr. Oaskell which
had received the signatures of the majority of the
electors. That gentleman, in reply, had expressed his
desire to remain if possible in the quietude of
private life, although be said he was willing, if the
treo trade cause in Wakefield depended on it, to make
say sacrifice to fight the battle. Free trade having
at this tame been carried, there was no pretence for
again inviting Mr. OaskelL Several candidates pre-
sented themselves—some more and some less liberal
in their views : one of them, a gentleman of the long
robe, so happily situated as to be able to assure the
electors " that opinions were not so strongly fixed
but that he could modify and adapt them to those of
his constituents." Of course this wee a gentleman
who was not at all suited for Wskefi He was
dismissal summarily. Oae or two men of 'some-
what sounder views appeared; amongst others
Mr. Locke and Sir E. N. Buxton. But there
was a difficulty with all the candidates. Sir
Edward North Burton, who suited the electors
admirably on every other point, would not com-
promise his opinions upon the subject of education.
A public meeting took place at which this gentle-
man was to state his views. At the conclusion of his
speech he said, somewhat unguardedly, that he would
be content to abide by the decision of that evening.
The room was crowded with Baines-ins ; they took
Sir Edward at his word ; negatived a motion that he
wee a fit and proper person to represent them in par-
liament, and threw away the chance of returning a
representative of whom any constituency in England
might well be proud.
Seeing the divided state of the liberals, some of the
conservative body in Wakefield put forward a Mr.
Sanders, a resident corn merchant, a gentleman
whose views are not very decided, and who
consequently was able to obtain support from
men of venous sides. Several of the party who had
supported Sir Edward Buxton gave in their adhesion
to this gentleman ; others remained neater. The
section who had opposed Sir Edward, feeling
it necessary to do something to support their oppo-
sition, brought down from London Mr. 0. W.
Alexander, the well known bill-broker. Mr.
Alexander's friends claim that they had secured
for him upon their cantle nearly 350 promises,
which ought M have been a majority. It turned out,
however, that only 258 of these could be brought to
poll. Mr. Sanders' friends carried him election by •
minority of no less than 134 ; the votes being 392 to
258. We regret to say that on the night previous
to his return there was a great amount of public-
lees, treating on the part of this gentleman's friends,
and that bills were run up on his account to
a very large extent. Nearly 3,0001., it is said,
was required to defray the expenses of his election.
In what way it could have gone seems marvellous.
Mr. Alexander, who is a teetotaller, spent nothing in
drink, and not more than a few hundred pounds in
banner., music, agency expenses, and in other ways.
That he should have spent even this, however, proves
that Wakefield has fallen into bad habits, upon
which it is high time that there should be a check.
Mr. Sanders, since be bas been in parliament, has
given several votes which have been highly satisfac-
tory to the liberal portion of the constituency, ape-
sially a recent one spinet the navigation law& It
willbe a curious circumstance should tones of
Wakefield by abandoned by their present member as
they were by the last, and such is the feeling of the
day in Maur of a generous FAH' policy, that this is
by no mimes imposeible.
But may be the future fate of Wakefield,
ie b to be hoped that a large and intelligent
agarikeeney of this sort will unite, without reference
to party, to put an end to every bad electiocenrieg
practice, and to secure the free and fair snifter= of
political opinion. There might to be a Freedom of
Election Society established forthwith in Wakefield,
with a view to check, by every moral and law-

80th year of her age.
Though the weather hts been intensely severe it le

growing crops. Wall fruit, sorat %fume and other
garden trees, hays been seriouoly injured, but that is
of no great consequence. The whole week has been
bitterly odd and wintry.

FITCH V. ROCHFORT.—LIWALITT or LOAN asova 101.
BY PAWNIIHOLEB ON DEPOSIT OF GOODS.
This motion, to dissolve an injunction granted by the
Vice-Chancellor of England, to prevent the sale of geode
deposited l-y the plaintiff with the defendant, was argued on
Friday. The plaintiff is • maned woman. with separate
estate independent of her husband, and having a country
and town residence. The defendant is a pawnbroker in
Brewer-street, Golden square. Mrs. Fitch being in want
of money in 1846-6, applied to the defendant for advances on
deposits of her jewels, plate, and other property. Several
large sums were accordingly advanced te her at different
times. The advances altogether amounted to 1,3851., and
the goods deposited by her were estimated by her to be
worts 3,0001. They were divided into nice parcels, for the
purpose of redemption at her convenience. Upon each
deposit a ticket called • duplicate was given to her.
spectfying on one side the articles deposited and
the amount thereon :advanced, signed by the de-
fendant, and on the other side wee written a me-
morandum to the effect that the plaintiff was to pry in-
terest at the rate of 3d. per pound sterling per month, and
if she should not pay such interest or redeem the goods at
the expiration of one year the defendant might have them
s dd, and, War pas ir.g himself the principal and interest and
the expenses of sale out of the proceeds, par over the surplus
t i the plaintiff or her agent if demanded within three years.
The interest was paid upon all the deposits by the plaintiff
until the end 011846. In November, 1848, the defendant sent
letters and gave other notices to her that " unless she paid
the interest tees due he would have the goods sold by sue-
Son in Deeember,lB43." Receiving no communication from
the plaintiff, either in consequence of her neglect or of the
defendant's communication being sent to one of her resi-
dences when she was at the other, the defendant had a cata-
logue of the goods printed, describing them in the most
laudatory style, and advertising that they were to be sold on
the days therein named, without reserve, by Mr. Robins,
of Coyest garden Puna'. The delivery of this catalogue
around the plaintiff. She applied to the defendant to
stop the sale, and on his refusal the bill was tiled
in name of the plaintiff by her next friend. The bill num-
tinted the legality of the transaction on behalf of the defen-
dant, and prayed an injunction to stop the sale of the goods.
The Vice.Cbancellor upon the usual ex pane application,
issued the injunction, which was served on the defendant and
I auctioneer on the morning of the sale, after some lots were
knocked down. A motion to discharge that injunction was
made before the Lord Chancellor, and his lordship granted
the application on the ground of the omission on the plain-
tiff 's bill of the specill agreement contained in the memo-
randum endorsed on the duplicates, and also because the
planitiff in her affidavit stated that she never consented in
any terms te the male of her jewels, &c. The plaintiff 'a bill
wee then amended by Inserting therein the said agreement,
and an application supported by a new affidavit of the plain-
tiff stating that she had on the ftrmer occasion forgotten the
agreement was ,made to the Vies-Chancellor to restore
the injunction, which his Honour did, and added his
reasons to the effect that the transaction was of a pawn-
broking nature, and was illegal within the pawnbroking act,
39 &40 Geo. 111., esp. 99. This journal contained reports
of what passed on the three several evasions, bat the im-
portance of the case is the public, In cometrence of the Lord
Chancellor's decision on the present wanton, required a re-
statement of the clreumstsnors.
Mr. Bolt and Mr. Wright, in support of the appeal motion
after stating the facts, contended that the transactions

were within the protection of the Usury Laws Repeal Act,
2& 3 Viet., e. 37, and precadiag acts thereby extended,
sad if it wee not so, then the usury laws had been repealed
for the benefit of all the world except pawnbrokers. They
were still bound by the enactments of the pawnbrokers' acts
in advisees of all sums below 101. at a time, but as to loans
above 101., they were on the same condition as other money-
lenders. Before the repeal of the usury law, pawn-
broken, like all others, were limited to 6 per cent.

There was a special contract for regulating these
