(Cheers.) The hoe. gentlemen eimeladed his speech by
thanking every boa. member for the great indulgence which
they had shown towards him sines he had been • mother

Mr. BRIGHT said that the bill commended Hal to his

distascily and eleriely without any tricks, or gm* sea"
thing in one clause, and then, under • testing of
endeavouring to withdraw something else in the clausala the
followed. The proposal to abolish the ratetrellat
clauses of the Reform Ape would remedy an

deprived of the franchise. As to lowering the females
is counties to • 141. occupetiee, although it did not
meet his entire approval, they had the example of Ireland
in its favour, where a 121. rating existed. 'The only point
of difference really was, whether the trembles should re-
main at 101., or henceforth be Ilxed " far • time "at V. It

that the government would split hairs in this fealties. But
beggars in the House of Commis, like beggars strewhers,
could not be choosers. Moreover. the transiting proposed
by the government was only 11. below that to which
Mr. Henley and Mr. Walpole had declared thew
selves favourable; and it the opposition retread
to make this concession and promoted the bin

sitting on that side of the house who would live to re__
the coarse they had taken. There was one part of the bffl,
however, that he hoped the how* would sot listen to for
one moment—that was the savings banks frangible&
That was the worst of an the " fancy tramlines" that
had ever been proposed, for it would be unequal to the
last degree, and be the mime of every kind d
fraud. Referring to the attacks made time him by Mr.
Lowe and Mr. Hinman, he said—What is tbe
ream that these gentlemen, who have all boss fielders of
office, take this course with regard to the bill of the go-
vernment? I will not deal in 'estimations ; but when Ime

(Cheers.) I do not object for a moment to any gentlemen

Lord ORANBORNE argued that whereas already the
rural popelatlec, by the mean' distributiou of the fran-
chise, were at • disadvantage as compared with the
borough Totem, this bill would aggravate that dispropor-
tion, and was, in fact, wholly in the interest of the
tures.
After some comical observations from Mr. J. HARDY,
Mr. HIBBERT disputed the accuracy of the statistical
returns preseuted to the house. In the town of Oldham
there wise 2,285 voters on the register, and of three 315
were retuned an belonging to the working classes. The
real number of working men who bad votes there was not
greater than 150. He believed that throughout the eta-
tistios it would be fouled that a large number of working
men were returned ea voters who useessed the franchise,
sot as workingmen, but as shopkeepees and tradesman.
He trusted that the reformers on that side of the house
*odd les united on this ocrosion, and give the erovernment
that support that they would be able to carry the messure
by • large majority to the House of Lords.
Sir R. KNIGHTLET moved the adjournment of the
debate.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER mid the go-
iernment had no desire to stop the discusdon if there was
any real desire to continue ft, or if there were many TOM-
bars who wished to speak, but twins in the moms of this
evening the Deputy Speaker was about to put the question
for lack of speakers.
The house was then cleared for a division on the motion
of adjournment; the motion was endive' without one
taking gibe.
Sir R. KNIGHTLEY the said the veldts lord the mem-
ber for Stamford had called attention to the great in-
equality in the representation of towns and counties, and
hadshown that esenty members represented a population
nearly three times as great es that of the boroughe,and that
if they wanted to have a fair equality 130 members should
be added to the counties. Not only this, but the borough
voters voted also for the conaties.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER observed
that they did not do this in respect of the same holdieg.
Sir R.INIGLITLEY said that was a mere quibble. (Cries
of " Oh. oh.") if a man had premiens of the value of 101.

hum that gave him a vote for the county, so that practi-

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUERsaid he would
maks inquiries ; bat he thought there were sot means of
producing such • retero. It did not seem to be a matter of
great importance. He would not trouble the house with a
reply upon the debate, and all ha would say was that
the government were quite satisfied with the course the
discussion of the neserure had taken. and be hoped it
would receive an eeriest and fair coesideration at the bands
of the House of Oommoea. -

LAWILIMIC e. 0011.
This was an inquiry of • rather delicate character. The
action was one of truer to recover twelve gold and silver
medals, that were alleged by the defendant to have bee=
given to bar by the plaintiff.
Mr. Montagu Chambers, Q. 0., and Mr. F. H. Lewis
appeared for the plaintiff ; and Mr. Serjeaet Eallutine and
Mr. E. T. Smith for the defendant.
Mr. Chambers, in opening the ease for the plaintiff, de-
scribed it a se of rather • peculiar character. The
plaintiff Mr. John Emlnuriah Lawrence, wee • geotleman of
the medical profusion, and the defendant was • young lady
named Mary Elizabeth Cole, and he sought to sheen back
from her twelve modals, which he had merely placed in her
hands that she might look at them, or for some similar
temporary purpose, and she now refused to give th-rn up,
sad the present action Wag brought for the purpose of com-
pelling her to do so. The plaintiff we. formerly • pupil at
the University College Hospital. and the modaLin
question had been given to him ea prim, in nese-
, pence of his having distinguished himself av a pupil ;
end it was, therefore, not so much on amount of
the Latrine« value of the medals that be desired to regain
possession of them, as for the value they wen to him
personally, for the reason he had stated. The plaintiff
had the miffortune to become acquainted with the young
lady in the year 1863, and be would say no more with ro-
ped to her position at that time than that she was not re-
spectable, amid the jury would understand guise sufloiently
what he meant by saying this without it being mew
eery for him to enter into any further particulars. The
plaintiff took her from that position, and furnished •
house for her at St. Jobn's- woad, and gave bee all the
furniture, and ocentantly visited her, and • very in-
timate °penance, no doubt, existed fee some Mme be-
them. While that intimacy aces 'nag or, the
of showed her the medals be had eed, and
allowed them to rands in her poseendos. At
from something that ocietured, be was desirous of At_
off the oonnevoe, and wanted his medals book, but she re-
fused to give them to him. It was not for their istrinsio
=due that be desired to have them. list to him, personally,
ci/ coarse they were of very considerable value, and be was
wet aexions to regain posseasion of them. When the de-
fendant wenapplied to, she at first said that she had re-
turned them. This was palpably untrue, and in answer to
laterrogatosies that wise subsequently put to her, she
stated that she had placed them in the hands of has attor-
ney,. Sit subsequently, however, admitted that the medals
were still in her possession, and said that the plaintiff bad
e between
to her, and that no arrangement was made
than with regard to their restitution, and alto con-
sidered that they belonged to her. Ceder these airmen
«noes the plaintiff had no alternative but to institute the
present proceedings io order to regain possession of his
medals from the defendant, be whom be had behaved most
liberally, and who had not the least shadow of legal ground
for the claim she bad set up be the property.
Chief Justice Erie said that upon the statement that
had been made by the learned ornussel, this, wan surely a
an in which some arrangement might be some to
between the parties without the matter proceeding any
further.
Mr. Chambers said he had no dada to go jute as
Inquiry, which must uodeobtelly be of • very enplessiet
nature, but the defendat seemed determined to persist
in her delta to the medals, and she bad also brought an
action against the plaintiff for • breath of promise of
marriage.
Serjeaut Ballantine said that perhaps it would be as
well to hear what the frets of the case really were before
any attempt was mede at • settlement.
' Mr. John Zechariah Lawrence, the plaintiff, wee then
examined. He said—l am Bachelor of Medici«, and
was formerly • pupil at the University College Hospital,
and I received the medals in question as prism for my
attainments at that inelitutioe. Eight of the medals were
gold ones end four silver. I cannot say exactly, bet I be-
lieve the twelve medals are intrinsically worth about 100/.
le the autumn of 1863 I formed • ormsexios with the de-
fendant, sod took a hove for her at St. John'swood,
which I furnished, and I gave her the furniture. le the
summer of 18631 took the modals to her, merely that she
might see them, and 1 subsoqueetly asked her to return
them to me. She made some excuse for not doing so, sod
expressed her surprise that I !Oswald mistrust her, and the
subject passed from my mind. At the close of last year I
ceased my connexion with the defendant, and required her
to restore the medals, but I have not been able to obtain
Item.
Orossmxamieed—Our connexioa lanai from the month
1 of August. 1863, to December. 1866, and I kept her house
for her during that period, and generally slept there two
or three times • week, I was affectionate to bee, and pro-
I Weed her that shenhould never want. I swear that she
wee not gaining her livelihood respectably when I first W-
I erne acquainted with her. I believe that she may have
inzidentally " dose such a thing as trim a bonnet for •
dressmaker, but she did not certainly get her living by any
respectable amid« meet. So far as I know, at the present
time she is pander.
Serjeant Salentine (holding up • 1/Merl—Did you not at
one time promise to give her en sasuity of 1151. a year ?
Plaintiff—l may have done so.
Serjant Eglantine—Did you not also promise to give
bee 1001. and continue to pay ihe rent of the house she is
living in until the pelted of the tease« expires?
Plaintiff—l did make her that offer.
Berjesot Ballaatine—Will you do ao now?
Plaintiff—No, I retract that offer.
Suited Ballantine said that if he would do what he
had proposed the medals should be given up and also all
the letters that had passed between hint Led the defendant.
The plaintiff said he would not agree to say other terms
than those he had arranged with his solicitor.
Chief Justice Erle advised him to reconsider this deci-
sion. He assured him that he would fled it much more
advaoiepous to lake such an arrangement as the one sug-
gested than to enter further into an inquiry such as
the one now under crou'dention.
The plaintiff, however, would not list« to the propooal,
and the cue proceeded. In answer to further questioes
put by Serjeent Bailantioe in cross-ex animation the plaintiff
said he did net believe that the defendant was entirely des-
titute. He also said he believed that at the t time
the defendant was pursuing the oroupatioe of a prostitute.
Sergeant Wanes (holding up another letter)—Has she
not written to yos, sod reminded you at your former inti-
macy with her, and astrated you to assist her and to save
her from being driven to resort to such a course of life'
The plaintiff said that she probably bad done so.
Serjraat fiallantine—l shall put all these letters in «i-
-deate it it is necemay, and elk the jury whether the de-
fendant, under the eirenuntesees, may not have reasonably
believed that the models were gives to her.
Chief Justice Erie then again strongly urged the advisa-
bility of wino arrangement being come to between the
parties, and the plaintiff conferred with his attorney and
counsel for a short time.
It was then ensconced that the plaintiff had anemia
to give the defendant 1001.. and that in the present action
a verdict should be taken for him for 1001. damage', the
amount to be reduced to Is. upon the models being
restored. The conditions for 1001. to be gives to the de-
fendant were that site should give sipi all the plaintiff's
letters that were in her poseessioa, sad that the action foe
breech of promiee of marriage she had eostreeneed spinet
him should be abandoned.
