been reduced to 101. in counties and 61. in boroughs. The
question was, " Shall there be any reform, or none r Upon
that there was no room for doubt or hesitation, and it boa-
came the obvious duty of every one professing to be a re-
former to give the nt a hearty and determined
support, not by wo only, but by their vote. He hoped
that at the meeting at Willis's Rooms on the 10th inst.,
Earl Russell would be convinced the country is in favour

ing the meeting to support it ; and it was also resolved to

Yesterday morning a crowded meeting was held
at the Town Hall, Manchester, to consider the propriety
of petitioning parliament to pass the government measure
of reform. The MAYOR (Mr. Bowker) presided ; and ke
the platform there were present—Mr. Barley, M.P., Mr.
R. N. Philips, M.P., Mr. Graham, M.P'. Mr. T. Potter,
M.P., Mr. Rides, M.P., Mr. Thomas Ashton, Mr. Henry
Rawson, and Mr. Aldermen Mackie.
The MAYOR having opened the proceedings,
The TONIC CLERK read the requisition in compliance with
which the Mayor bad called the meeting, and which he
said had nearly 2,000 signatures appended to it.
Mr. THOMAS ASHTON moved "That this meeting desires
to express its satisfaction that her Majesty's government
have introduced s bill for the better representation of the
people, and have intimated their determination to use all
their influence to carry the same through both houses of
Lar nt." (Cheers.) He held in his hand a number of
Letters from gentlemen who, from various mules, were
unable to attend, but he should only refer to two. One
was from Dr. Watts, and be was sure all present would
regret that they could not have his simple end effective
eloquence. (Hear.) The other letter was from one of
their representatives in parliament, and he thought, in
justice to Mr. James, that he ought to read it in order
that they might have his own worail:
" Northern Circuit, Liverpool, April I.—Dear Sir,—l
regret that I am unable to take part in your promedbp on
Thursday next. Ido not approve of the mode in which
the ministry are treating the great question of reform in
thus presenting a mere fragmentary measure. At present
I must hold myself at liberty to adopt such a line in my
place in parliament as I think least likely, with respect to
the views shadowed forth by the ministry as to the course
they intend to pursue, to he attended with inconvenience
In the pro_gress of public affairs. I am, dear sir,
eery faithfully
yours, EDWARD JAMBS. —Thos. Ashton, lb"
(Laughter and strong expressions of disapprobation.) He
war sure the whole meeting, es well as himself, feeling the
strong interest they did in the question of reform, would
be deeply disappointed to find that in the House of Com-
mons the voice of this city was about to be neutralised by
the opposing votes of their two members. (Hear, hear.)
He regretted that this city should be placed in such a
humiliating position. (Cheers.) The question of reform
bad been bandied about from one party to another
for some years past—for both the great parties in the
House of Commons had brought in bills-and it was ea-
tidactory to find that at Ink a bill had been brought for-
ward which fairly grappled with one pert of the question.
He thought the government had acted wisely in singling
out' the most important principle of a reform bill—that of
enfranchisement—to be dealt with first ; and be ex-
pressed gratification at seeing it brought forward under the
auspices of the great leader of the reform question, Earl
Russell, in the House of Lords, and of that still greater
man who did them the honour to represent one dinelon
of the county in the House of Commons—a man whom he
thought they might look forward to as one of the most
able and honest leaders of the liberal party in that house
they had ever known. (Cheers.)
Mr. JACOB BRIGHT seconded the motion. Mr. Bright
was received with great cheering, which was renewed again
and again, and evidently with the intention of giving more
significance to his presence in connexion with Mr. James's
letter.
Mr. Saner, M.P., supported the motion, and men-
tioned, amidst much laughter and cheering, that the vil-
lages of Cake and Stroud were vindicating themselves
from the imputations cast upon them by their nominal re-
presentatives in parliament of being inimiaal to an exten-
sion of the franchise.
Mr. R. N. Philips, M.P., Mr. T. Potter, M.P., Mr. Jas.
Heywood, and Mr. Graham, M.P. for Glseevw, also imp-
ported the motion, which, after a few observations from
Mr. John Heelis, who opposed the motion, was serried
with only one dissentient voice.
Mr. Any. Hetwoon moved a resolution pledging the
support of the meeting in taking all necessary steps to
secure the palming of the bill, and it was adopted, as were
also petitions to both houses of parliament.

&arum/D.—ln the Convention of Royal Bmgha
held at Edinburgh on Wednesday, it wen resolved, after
considerable discussion, bile majority of 30 votes to 1 to
petition parliament in favour of the English Franchise
Bill, in view of its extension, if passed, to Scotland in next
'sedan of parliament. Meetings were held on Wednesday
night at Ale Johnston., and Langside, in favour
of the bill
huu.AND. —The Dublin National Association have
adopted the resolution proposed by The O'Donoghue, and
seconded by an alderman of that city, that, " sympa-
thising as its members do with the people of Ingland
their efforts to obtain an extension of the franchise and a
reform in the representative system, and anxious as they
are to eo-operate- with their representatives in the forth-
comwg parliamentary struggle for reform, they earnestly
hope the government will make such previous satisfactory
declarations as to their intended legislation on the land
question in Ireland as will enable those representatives to
support the ministry at the approaching mats."

CoLeworraa.—A crowded meeting, representing
the entire liberal party at Colchester, was held last night
in the public hall to support the government Franchise Bill.
Mr. J. S. Barnes, who was in the chair, made an effective
allusion to the gallant part taken by Colchester in regarl
to the old Reform Bill. Councillor Have; moved the
first resolution, " That, in the opinion of the meeting,
The government Franchise Bill is an honest and substan-
tial measure, tending to relieve the working classes from
their present exclusion from electoral rights, and therefore
denrves the hearty support of the country. This was sup-
ported by Mr. Neck, a solicitor, Mr. Bellamy, a school-
master, Mr. Steggles, working-man, and carried with
vociferous cheers. Mr. F. B. Philbeick moved a
resolution of confidence in the determination
of government to bring in a bill for a redistribution of seat
He submitted that the question for the country to deter-
mine was, whether it would trust this matter to a liberal
government, or resign itself to obstructive., The motion
was supported by Mr. Modem a working man, and Mr.
Wilson Marriage, a member of the Society of Friends,
and carried. Mr. Sidney Goody moved a vote of thanks
to Mr. Gladstone, for his courageous statesmanlike ser-
vices in the cause of reform. He eulogised Mr. Gladstone's
disinterestedness and self-sacrifice. Mr. Cockrell, a ware-
housemen, seconded the resolution, which was carried with
three cheers. Mr. Blatch, a shoemaker,i moved a petition
to the House af Commons, embodying the resoluitm
which was seconded by Mr. Home Philbrick, and enp
by Mr. A. A. Jonas, a journahst, and Mr. Lyons, a Jew.
Groans were uttered for Messrs. Lowo and Horstnan, and
the " Cave of Adullam," and cheers were given for the
ministry and Mr. Bright.

ing of the inhabitants of Gravesend, convened by the
mayor, in compliance with a numerously signed regent-
sition, was held at the Town Hall, in support of the
government Reform Bill The chair was occupied by Mr.
Leith.
Bormatcrrox.—A large and enthusiastic meet-
ing was held at the Rooms, Southampton, last
evening, Major-General Tryon in the chair, when resolu-
tions in favour of the government bill were carried with
but two or three dissentients. The conservatives endea-
voured to get up an opposition, which, however, was a
signal failure. The conduct of the renegade liberal was
emphatically denounced, and the names of Mr. Gladstone
and Mr. Bright were received with vehement applause.
GLOUCIATIA—A requisition having been pre-
sented to the mayor of Gloucester, Mr. Robinson, request-
ing him to convene a public meeting for the purpose of
discussing the provinces of the Franchise Bill now before

CHARGE OP
slli auffmair
GH. AgAnor LORD
Lit
At the Brighton police court yesterday morning
Thom,. }lcon Viscount Essalagh appeared to answer a
summons taken-out by Captain R. T. Lowndesliertera, and
which charged- that Viscount .Ranelagh did mauls the
said Captain Norton, and prayed that Viscount Ranelagh
might be ordered to find sureties to keep the peace.
When the case was called on Mr. Dempster, solicitor,
Brighton, ntici,:he had (ikon out the summons,but he un-
aentood that counsel lied been instructed in the sass, said
was now in town somewhere. Hs did not appear for Cap-
tain Norton in this matter. He was merely instructed to
issue the summons, and the ewe was then placed in the
hands of a London solicitor. It involved other questions
with which he wu asoqminted, and he should not like
now to take the resility of the case.
Lad Ranelagh, who was seated et the solicitors' table,
here rose, and said that he appeared personally in the
eerie. He wished now to say, and he thought his doing so
might shorten the proceedings, that In should throw him-
self upon the judgment of the bench in this matter, and
wished they would treat the case as one of common assault,
so that other matters might not be brought into it.
Mr. Dempster said that relieved him of a greet deal of re-
sponsibility, and perhaps he now could condu the ease
himself. The learned gentleman proceeded to ct
say that en
Sunday afternoon last, Captain Marina was walking on the
Esplanade between five and Nu o'clock, when Lord Rene-
Ugh and party met him. It appeared Lord Banelsgb
shook hie fist in Cap Norton's face, celled him, he (Mr.
Dempster) believed, • scoundrel and a blackguard, and
threatened his life. Captain Merton, he must admit,
struck Lord Ranelsgh, and struck him, he believed, more
than once ; but Captain Norton did not strike Lord Rane-
lagh until after the await had been committed of which
he now complained, until after Lord Ranelagh
bad shaken his fist in Captain Norton's face,
and had used the words which induced Captain
Norton to strike his lordship. Captain
Norton and Lord
Ranelagh were, it appeared, separated by the bystanders.
When he (Mi. Dempster) was consulted, as a lawyer, to
prevent a further breach of the peace, he recommended
that these proceedings be takes. Perhaps them gentlemen
would rather have fought it out, but he should leave been
DO party to that, and, as the difference had to be settled,
he suggested it should be settled here. Those were really
the whole facts of the case. There were other facts con-
nected with it, but it was unneesmary for those to be en-
tered into, as Lord Banshee said they were to *online
themselves to this case. He .would now premed to call

At this moment Mr. Oppenheim, barrister, entered the
court, accompanied by Mr.-Dares, soiiattor, London, and
apologised to the court for being so late in atterdanoe. He
had not seen the summers, and did net knee the hear
when the court met. Mr. Dempster having stated the
facts of the case, it would only be neessaary for him to
remark that it was not his wish ar that of his client that
anything should be brought before the court but the
actual facts of what occurred on the Marine Parade.
Mr. Biw (dip
ha magistrato) said Mr. Dempster
had told Oiem that Lord Reaslagh had shaken his fist in
Captain Norton's face, and bad called him a scoundrel and

;til• ackguard.
Mr. Oppenheim—And. further, that when he met him
alone he would take his life.
Lord Ranelagh—l, perhaps, may save the time of the
court by at once admitting that I did use those words to
Captain Norton. I wish only to say I did so under peat
and gross provocation that I have suffered for some time,
but which I shall not allude to in this court. I only re-
pet that any gentleman who has worn the uniform of her
Maim!) 's service should have thought fit to have ad
the course he (Captain Norton) has done today. (Loud
spplame in court.) All I beg is ask of the court is that
you won't bind over Captain Norton at all events.
(Laughter.) lam not afraid of Captain Norton. (Re-
newed laughter, and cheers.)
Mr. Verrall (magistrates' diem told Lord Ranelagh the
charge, and said he understood his lordship to admit it,
and to be prepared to eater into such recognisance' as the
bench might think peeper. He understood Lord Ranelagh
to plead guilty to having so acted.
Lord lianelagh—l do, certainly; not only on this am-
"ion, but on many others.
Mr. Oppenhalm said Lord Ranelaghliad just now remarked
that he was surprised any gentleman •gg her Majes4's
uniform should have adopted these • . Captain
Norton was in this position—lie might have bowed to the
offence and insult offered him, but if be bad yielded to
that it would have reflected on hie honour and credit as an
officer; or he might have taken the law into his own
bands, which might have appeared to Lord Ranelagh and
some of his friends very chivalrous, but which would not
be permitted or allowed • or he was obliged to come here
to vindicate himself from this insult offered to him.
Therefore he had no other course than this to pursue.
After a brief consultation,
Mr. Bigge said Lord Ranelagh had pleaded guilty, and
expressed his willingnees to be bound over himself. As
this, however, was a serious ease, the bench had decided
on binding over Lard Ranelagh in his own recognisance of
5001., and further order him to find one surety in 5001., or
two in 2501., for six months.
Captain Spencer Cosby Price at once offered himself as
Lord Ranelagh's surety, and wee accepted.
The case caused great interest. There was a full bench
of magistrates, and the marl was crowded, many noble-
men and gentlemen of position being present. On leaving
the court Lord Ranelagh was surrounded by quite a little
crowd of rympathimers.

three men who were convicted last week, the lint-men-

latter, in addition to that charge, of having assaulted sad
caused serious bodily injury to several police constables of
the town of Guildford, were brought up for judgment.
The Chief Baron, addressing the primers, said in this
country nothing wee masidered of greater importance than
the preservation of the public pekoe, and it was well that
it should be known that any one who endeavoured to came
a public disturbance such as that of which they had been
convicted was guilty, in theeye of the law of • very serious
I crime. t appeared that for a resit many years
very serious disturbances had taken Plass in the town of
Guildford, on the attempt to continue the custom which
had undoubtedly suited for a very long period, but which
at the present time it was almost universally considered
ought to be abolished, that of letting off fireworks on the
sth of November, and on many occasions very serious m-
amma had been committed. He could not help mein ex-
prui the opinion he had given at the trial, that the
authorities of the town were to some extent to blame for
not having taken more effectual steps to put a stop to those
proceedings, and to show their determination to vindicate
the law. It was said that they had not a sufscient
number of police for the purpose, and if this was so they
ought to double them, or swear in every inhabitant of
the town an a special constable, and if this had been dons
these di/Facia violations of the law would, in all proba-
bility, not have taken place. The present was the only
case in which a prosecution appeered to have been insel-
tuted, and he hoped that what bad now taken place "Quid
L have the effect of preventing a recurrence of such sots of
I violence. He then sentenced Stevens to be imprisoned sad
kept to bard labour for three, and the other two prima=
for twelve months, and kept to hard labour.
The Chief Baron then disposed of some of the remaining
special jury oases, but they were all of the most uninte-
meting character. Chief Justice Brie was engaged in the
other courts part of Wedneedayandthe whole of yesterday
in trying a running down cause mixing out of a collision

(Before Mr. Justice Blackburn.)
Basted Griffith, 26, was charged with the wiNel murder
of lame Newport, on the 26th of February, at Dunham-
on-the-Hill.
Mr. Gifford, Q. 0., with Mr. H. Lloyd were foe the pro-
secution, and Mr. Swetenbam for the defence.
It appeared that Newport was a labourer living at Long-
green, near Barrow, some Ave or six miles from Cheater,
and was a aura shout 66 years of age. He was described
by this learned counsel as having bean frugal in hie habits,
and byal, this means he had boas able to amass soese little

for some hours. Among the other persons present was the
prisoner, a man who had been living in the neighbourhood
for some Tears, and who bore a very indifferent reputation.
He was observed keenly watching the paying over of the
money. About two o'clock in the afternoon Newport left
the house, and went in the direction of his home. He was
never afterwards seen alive. About six o'clock the same
evening an old man of the name of Joynson, who went to
look for some heifers in a pisce called the Christian-
field, found the deceased lying there, the body
being partly immersed, and the bead lying out

were searched, but the money was missing.
This Christian-field in which the body was found was
stated to be about three-fifths of a mile from the Railway
Inn at Dunham. The prisoner left the public-house imme-
diately after Newport, and evidence was given that he in-
quired in which direction Newport had gone, and when
putting the inquiry made some remarks about the deceased
being at the Railway Inn and receiving the money.
Short after two o'clock the prisoner was seen going
towards the deceased's home. Again, at three o'clock, a man
was seen running from the direction of the field where the
deceased's body was found ; and another witness, who
knew the prisoner perfectly well, swore to his coming
about that time from the same direction. In an inner
pocket 131. in gold was found, wrapped in s purse which
Newport's wife swore she had made out of a window
curtain some time before, and that her husband had oar

The fury found the prisoner GitUty, and he was sentenced

been made to give the defendant the opportunity of offer-
ing an explanation) he had been to the house, but the
family were out of town, and would not be home till
Tuesday.
David Nicholls, hackney-carnage driver, said he took
up Mr. Buxton at the House of Commons on the night
of the 19th, and drove him to Grosvenor-crescent, where
be arrived at a little after seven. Mr. Buxton left the
cab, never paid him, and went into the hones. He waited
till a quarter past ten, and then the servant came out and
gave him 34., telling him it was no use his waiting ; Mr.
Buxton had one out again. He wept= the 3s. as part
payment, and summoned for as.
By the Magistrate—Didn't ring, or knock, or sive any
intimation that he was waiting, as he didn't conceder it was
his duty to do so. Would have waited till 1 o'clock, going
home time, and summoned for six hours' waiting bad he
not seen the servant. A gentleman left the house while
he was waiting, but he didn't recognise him as the one he
set down.
Mr. Arnold said his impression was that complainant
was not entitled to anything. He thought the complainant
should have waited a reasonable time, and then asked if
he was wanted, telling them be had been waiting. He
might as well have waited • day or • week and then sum-
moned ; for, according to his argument, hiring never ceased
till he was paid. He should have given notice that
he was waiting. It was evident that he wen forgotten, for
Mr. Buxton left the house while he was waiting at the
door. He should make no order for payment.

THAMES.
Christian Olifius, aged 65 years, who was described as a
general merchant of 14, Tredegai-plaoe, Bow-road, wee
brought before Mr. Partridge, charged with taking an
unmarried girl, named Elisabeth Tolley, under the age of
16, from the custody and possession of her parents, and
against their consent.

was no doubt the prisoner, who was a man of weight
and in • good position, had induced the young lady to
leave her home, that he knew where she was, and that she
was being concealed with his knowledge and consent. It
was a most aggravated case. The prisoner was a married
man with a family. His wife was livinc, and he had •
daughter 26 years of age. He had told Mile Tolley he was
to be divorced from his wife, had sent the young lady •
valentine on St. Valentine's day, and various presents,
and at last induced her to quit the home where she had
been brought up under the airs of kind and estimable
parents. •
