Drni.lx, Nov. 9.
It would seem that we are likely to have the
who's poor law tystem of this country ere long ad-
micistert d through the agency of vice-guardians.
The tendency to this result is pointedly indicated by
an article in the Evening Post (Government organ)
of last night; and now that the period for which
those paid of were appointed has elapsed, and
that the ordinary Boards of Guardians are about to
resume their labours, it would seem that some at-
tempt may be expected to concert what was but a
temporary expedient into a ()eminent system.
Saunders of this morning mentions the following in-
static, of toe eliprecistion of the value of land in the
vicinity of Dublin:
The farm of liathbeggan, comprising 154 acres, at 23,. per
acre, was sold before his Honour, in the Bankrupt Court,
yesterday, for 1101., to Mr. Murphy ; aml from the remarks
of the auethineer, Mr. Charles C. Farrell, we learned that a
sum of 1,0001. had been recently expended on it by the pre-
vionsecenpant, in buildiaga, drainage, and other permanent
itspo,veme,its. The farm lies on the high road to Dum
shnugh lin. within nine miles of Dublin, and was eensidered
of such value a few years ago, that a sum of 1,0001 was given
by way ut mortgage it ; and it affords a speaking com-
mentary en the depresiatien of land hi this country.

BAILER v. RI76II.—BRIBERT.-11ANWICII ELECTION.
Mr. Monngu Chambers moved for a rule to show cense
why the verdict in this cue should not be set aside and a
new trial had, en the ground that an objection which had
been taken at the trial that there was a variance between
the declaration and the evidence wai not valid, inathauth

when a verdict was found for the defendant. The declua-
lion contained two counts ; the first alleged the bribing of
one Edward flashy, a voter for Harwich, and that on let
July, 1847, he was corrupted by a promise and reward—
to wit, the promising him a large sem of money, 411. 54.,
welch sum was then claimed from him by one Once, and
which defendant bad promi-ed to pa Orice for Saxby by a
sunt ef 101., and the residue, by monthly instarl-
mente. The second count alleged that the defendant cor-
rupted Sttzby by, at his request, giving odes 101. on ac-
count of Ire debt, and promising to pay the residue by in-
stalments of 51. a month.
It appeared that Selby was an elector of Harwich, and in
May, 1817, it became known that an election would tako
place, and that Mr. Attwood would be a candidate for that
borough. Sszby was a fisherman, and was pone's, el if a
boat, He was indebted to Orin in 411.55., and Once held a
sort of mortgage over the boat, and having taken poserstion
of it, had entrusted it to a third person. Selby applied to a
Mr. Trundle, a partisan of Mr. Attwood's at Harwich, who
wrote to that gentleman on 20th June, 1817, to the effect
that " Sash; was a voter of Harwich, who had contracted a
debt with Once ; that his boat was seized, and unless some-
thing was done for him, and that quickly, the boat, which
was worth much more than the debt for which it had been
seind, would be sacrificed ; that be had named Mr. Attwood
to him as ',gentlemen who would be likely to be willing to
assist any one whom he could safely, and asked for a
loon of the money, the register of the boat being
to be deposited." Saxby came to London and called at Mr.
, Attwood's private residence in Para-lane, and was referred
to his place of business in Birchin-lane. When he arrived
there he raw Mr. Rush, who was a clerk of Mr. Munn re,
ant: sae. to lio ttle private secretary, who Uht him to omit
till Mr. Attwood came in, tied he was lett in an annereetli.
Shortly after Mr. Attwood passed through that room and
went into an inner one, where Rush followed and spoke to
him for a quarter of an'hour. He then came out, end the
door being open, in the bearing of Mr. Attwood, said if Saxby
would vote for that gentleman that his boat should be re-
deemed and the 411.61. paid. The arrangement was made
and Sexby returned to Harwich. On the 2nd of July Mr.
Rush wrote to a person of the name of Hale, who held the
boat for Grin, to the effect " that having accidentally eecn
p~Saxb he had heard his tale of trouble, and Out Hale had
possesysion of his boat, which was worth double the debt
due; that it was a sad pity it should lse sacrificed ; that
to be lieut., without put., vice Sub; was a stranger to him, but understanding he was an
- honest man
pay he was willing to assist him, and, if time was
given to the debt by instalments, he would himself lend
him 101. and pay the instalments of 51. a month." On 6th
July Rush wrote again, remitting the 101., and pledging
himself to pay the balance by instalments and the expenses.
After this letter the boat was delivered up to Sub y. 11e
voted for Mr. Attwood at the election, and afterwards went
to that gentleman's committee them and asked to he recom-
pensed for his lose of time, and received for answer that " he
could surely not ask that, for he had had enough already."
The return of Mr. Attwood was made the subject of a peti-
tion, and fiemby was examined as a witness before a com-
mittee of the House of Commons, about which time Rush
seized the boat and sold it.
At the trial it was objected that there was a variance be-
tween the declaration and the evidence, as the letter of Rush
of Gth July contained a promise not only to pay the 411. 51.,
but the expenses also, and in neither of the counts of the
declaration was the peonies of money or reward pro-
perly alleged, as the promise to pay the expenses
was omitted. The learned judge held that this was
a material variance, and was asked to emend. He
consulted the' Chief Baron, and decided that this
was a penal action he had no power to amend. It was
now contended that on the statute on which this decla-
ration was framed it was perfectly good and as that the
allegation as to the expenses was immaterial, the sub-
stance of the offence having been proved. It was enough to
allege a promise to give or pay a sum of money to corrupt
without entering into particulars of the mode of payment,
the promising a gilt or reward of money being the substaace
of the offence.
