JC917:1 MHZIL TO NIL DAMIT.SETII.OO2, 11. n.

T 3, Eatee•plane, Jun. 9, 1960.
Sir,—ln the Times of this monung you are repre-
sented to have made the following observations in the
Home of Commons :
. . .

" Then, again, Colonel Shell had, he believed, nothing to
do with overthrowing the slave trade, which important con.
cession was the work of Mr. Murray.
. .

lam desirous of rectifying the misconception to which
these expressions may give rise. In August, 1851, an ar-
rangement was concluded by the Persian government with
me, conceding to English men-of-war the right of search
and detention over all Persian slaving vessels ; the shine
being, moreover, placed at the disposal of her Majesty's go-
vernment. Severe penalties were attached to the offenos
d importing negrom by sea into the 13hah's dominions.
This e meat was to last eleven years, and was after-
wards embodied in the treaty between England and Persia
concluded at Paris in 1857, of which it forms the 13th article.
The following is au extract from that article :
" The high contracting parties hereby renew the agree-
ment entered into by them in the month of August, 1861
(Shand, 1267), for the suppression of the slave trade in the
Persian Gulf, sod engage further that the said agreement
shall continue in force after the date at which it expires,
that 14, after the month of August, 18b2, for the further
space of ten years."
A copy of this treaty was presented to parliament in the
same year. My despatch to Viscount Palmerston, No. 10,
of the 4th of August, 1851, contains sufficient details on the
subject. That despatch is to be found at page 523 in the
"Blue Book" relating to the slave trade, which wag pre.
seated to parliament in 18511.-1 rennin, ho.,

Mt. DANDT 811110 CR TO SIR JUSTLY OREM

39, Upper Groavenoratreet, June 12, 1860.
Sir. -I beg to apologies for not having before answered
your letter of the 9th mat., which 1 only received yesterday
afternoon, on account of my absence from town.
You mention that I am reported to have said, on Friday
Lit:—" Then again, Colonel Bheil had, he believed, nothing
to do with the overthrowing of the slave trade, which im-
portant concession was the work of Mr. Money." If I
used the name of Mr. Money, in this place--a point which
I csauot, remember—it was a mistake for that of Colonel
Irammit, for whom I bad already claimed credit for obtaining
the abolition of slavery in the early stage of my remarks.
Tim report in the Times has osmium* been much ab-
breviated

When I returned into the house to rectify a mistake I had
made, 1 then dal stated most distinctly that Colonel
!arrant had obtained the amens for abolishing slavery.
I found this assertion upon the following document which
I find ui Herslet's Treaties, vol. ix., p. 615, entitled "A
finnan of his Majesty the Shah of Persia relative to the
slave trade, dune 12, 1848," in which his Majesty distinctly
says, " That having up to that time refused to grant the
reriese‘ for the abolition of the importation of Degrees by
sea seeds by the ministers of the Bntish government, &a,
. . . he now granted that request in consequence of the
favour entertained by his Majesty for Colonel Farrsnt, then
the charge d'Affaires of the British government." I also
observe that in a letter from you to the Ameer Siam and
ix a despatch to Lord Palmerston of Feb., 1850, in noticing
some slave transactions in the Persian Gulf, you refer to them
as being illegal, clearly admitting that the abolition of
slavery already existed previously to the date of August,
1861, to which you refer me when the concession previously
obtained by Colonel Fermat was embodied in a treaty to
which your name is appended.

ale JUSTLY SH!IL TO Ma. LUSBY SEINOUII, N.P.
June 12, 1860.
Bir,—l cordially concur in the praise you have bestowed
on Colonel Fervent in the House of Commons, and in the
letter which I have just had the honour to receive from you,
dated the 12th inst. Colonel Farrant no doubt obtaincd,
as all my despatches clearly indicate, the firman, or decree,
for the abolition of the importation of slaves into Perna by
sea, and that gentleman is entitled to the credit of having
established a principle ; but any one acquainted with Persia
is aware that a mere firman to the semi-independent chiefs
of the Persian Gulf is a dead letter. The entire of my cor-
respondence, which has been published in the " Blue Boa"
on slave trade in 1852, commencing at pegs 514, is a con-
firmation of this assertion.
_

What I u, that I obtained the right of march and
detention by British men of war, the appropriation of the
slaves by the English govcrrunseit, and the specific punish-
ment of the infnngers of the law, by all which the above
Orman was rendered of effect.

If after this explanation, in addition to that contained in
my former letter, you still consider that I had " nothing to
do with overthrowing the slave trade," I can only hope that
others will not share in your opinion.— I remain, Ste.

ML DANIT niT1101:11 TO SIR J. SHIM

June 23, Iftiio.
Sir,—As you wish our correspondence to be published,
and with the view of making it more complete, I now
write an answer to your letter of last week, which I
thought under other circumstances it did not require.
Xr. Whiteside, reading from a memorandum enumerating
your services in Persia, stated that you bad been the
mesas of obtaining the abolition of the slave trade in that
ixontry, or words to the same effect, leading the house to
umegies that you had been the sole mains, and deserted
the whole credit of the suppression of that traffic. There
was so mention of Colonel Farriet, but the whole credit
of the transaction was attributed to Sir .Justin Shell, by the
person who gave Mr. Whiteside hi. information.
Without wi.hing at all to dispaiage your services, it was
only due to Colonel Farrant to mention the whole facts of
the ruse, and in doing so I am represented to have said,
" That Sir Justin Shell had nothing whatever to do with
the suppression of the slave trade." If I did say so lam
ready to acknowledge a slight error, and that I should have
rid "That Sir J. Shed had but little to do with the sup-
pression of the slave trade ;" because it warn Colonel Fermat
awl not yourself who overcame the main difficulties of the
case. In fact, as I remarked on a former occasion, you
enileelied in a subsequent act what Colonel ',arrant had
obtained, in the same way that Lint Cowley ernbcdied it in
his convention with Ferokh Klein, without, I presume,
claiming the credit of having abolished the slave trade in
Persia.

But my principal reason for adverting to this matter at
all was not personal but public. I wished to show that
Colonel Parrant got, by conciliatory means, without delay,
hrmans declaring the slave trade illegal, which you for years
had sought for in rain, because as I maintain the policy
which you pursued was harsh, peremptory, and overbear-
ing, an opinion in which I think I am borne out by such
of your despatches as have appeared in the Blue Book.
I do not understand how this assertion of mine imputes
any blame to you. You only followed out the instructions
of the Foreign-office, and were approved and rewarded,
while others who have pursued a more peaceful and con-
ciliatory policy have not met with the same good torture.
I have done nothing more than my duty as a member of
parliament in rep.obating the one policy, of which you
happened to set as the instrument, and in doing my utmost
to force on the government the other policy, which I am
sure, if they were fully informed on this special subject, would
be acknowledged by our fellow-countrymen as that most
agreeing with our interests and our duties ; the only po,
in fact, befitting a powerful nation, which, while it guards
its honour, is anxious to leave a good impression of western
civilisetioo on every distant people with whom it has relit-
tions. —I have, &c.

ala JUSTIN RIMIL TO Ida. DANBT SZTVOITIL,
13, Eaton-place, June 24, 1860.
Sir,-1 beg to make one remark in reply to your letter
of yesterday, in which I End the following words:—" la
fact, ac 1 remarked on a former occasion, you c embodied I.
a subsequent act what Colonel Farrant had obtained, in the
same way that Lord Cowley embodied it in his convention
with Ferokh Khan, without, I presume, claiming the credit
of having abolished the slave trade is Perlis." "The fade
will scarcely justify the conclusion you have reached, for
neither in Lord Cowley's treaty nor in my convention is
there the slightest allusion to the finnan obtained by
Colonel Fermat, or to its contents. The finnan and the
convention are two perfectly distinct things. Without
the slightest desire to undervalue Colonel Farrent's services
ion the contrary my feelings are all the other way), I may
remark that a finnan is a proclamation addressed by a
sovereign to his own subjects, and is consequently an za-
strument wholly different from a convention between two
states. 3fy convention of 1,161 placed the power of sup.
pressing the slave trade in the hands of England itself, a
power which is equivalent to its extinction. I am, there-
fore, unable to conceive how Lord Cowley or I cse be add
to have "embodied" Colonel Farrant's firman.

It is not my province to discuss the policy of Great Bri-
tain towards Perwa, into which you enter at much length.
That pursued by me was the general policy approved by
Lord Aberdeen, Lord Palmeratoo, Lord Granville, Lord
Malmesliury, Lord John Mureell, Lord Clarendon, states-
men under all of whom I have had the good fortune to

In the year 1741 Leonard Glad wan conveyed certain pro-

and parish church of Northwingfield. A scheme was now
being settled in chambers for the future management of the
charity, and upon it two questions arose, first, whether the
district church of Clay Cross was entitled to any benefit,
and secondly, whether provision was to be made for the
repair of the chancel of Northwingfiekl church, to the benefit
of the rector of that perish.
Mr. Berkeley, Mr. Fucher, and Mr. C. Barber were in the
case.

fabric fell upon the pariah.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. Tore 27.

Wings at Nisi Prim in London.—(Before Lord Chief
Justice Erie and a Special Jury.)

ALLEUED BREACH OF

The plaintiff., Meows. Van Notten and Co., on the 18th
Nov., 1858, chartered the Austrian ship Osvetitel to pro-
ceed to the Havannab and load a cargo of sugar and take it
to Cowes or Falmouth, and thence proceed to any one of
esetain pats named, of which Copenhagen was not one.
The veseel went to the Havannah, and the plaintiffs' agents
there, thinking it desirable to send the sugar to Copen-
hagen, at their request the captain signed the following en-
dorsement on the charterparty :—" I do hereby agree to
go with my vessel to Landscronn or Copenhagen, at an
advance of 2e. 13d. on the freight for Gotteoburgh." The
vessel arrived at Falmouth on the 18th June, 1859, and
the plaintiffs ordered her to Copenhagen. War,
however, was then being carried on between France
and Austria, and the captain, being fearful of beints-
tured by French cruisers, declined to go to Copenhagen,
tying, however, that he would go wherever he was ordered
s soon as the navigation was free. The captain was sub-
sequently ordered to Plymouth, and there the cargo was
sold, the total loss between selling at Copenhagen and at
Falmouth being 4901. 19s. 101., and this amount was
claimed to be recovered in the present action.
Mr. Bovill and Mr. Honyman appeared for the plaintiffs ;
and Mr. M. Smith and Mr. Watkus Williams for the de-
fendant.

Evidence was laid before the jury particularly in refe-
rence to the fourth plea, which raised the defence that the
captain bad been guilty of no breach of contract, and that
wUe he was hesitating whether he should proceed to
Copenhagen, Mr. Wilaher, the plaintiffs' agent, gave him
•" clean order" to peoceed to Plymouth.
The jury erpreral their opinion that there had been no
breach of contract ; they thought that the captain had
hesitated about going to Copenhagen, and that he was per-
fectly justified in so doing ; that the plaintiffs' agent did
not protein against this, and that he afterwards gave him
a " dam order " to go to Plymouth.
The foreman added that his own opinion was that the
gentleman in question was a very excellent captain, and
that he was very wise and prudent in staying where he was.
Verdict for the defendant.

enured omaiderable wealth ; and in 1803 he purchased the
house in Blairkfriars-road, in which he and ha wife resided
till the time of their respective decease. In 1830 he had a
severe attack of illness, and Mr. Hutchinson was sent for.
It was stated that Mr. Watson was very much pleased
with him, and a very close intimacy up between
Miens. Mr. Hutchineca was then a oompuatnely yang
men, being about 36 years of age, but Mr. Watson was fat
advanoed in life. He died in 1845 at the age of
80 and by his will, dated in 1826, he bequeathed
the whole of his property to the testatrix,with the exception
lot a life interest in 4,0001., which he gave to Mrs. Tappin.
It was explained that he bad given Mrs, Tappin 5,0001. on
her marriage, and other sums ; but it was stated that she
was much offended at only having a life interest, and
became on distant terms with her aunt and stepmother.
Mrs. Watson was fora long period of her life afflicted with
hernia, and frequently needed surgical assistance. This was
rendered her by the defendant, and it was alleged that she
entertained for him an esteem not less warm than that
with which her husband had regarded him. After she be-
came a widow she was in the habit of giving parties on her
own and on Mr. Hutchinson's birthday. On these occasions
she used to make little speeches, in which she promised
that as long as Mr. Hutchinson conducted him&
properly be should never want a friend. Wm was
• greet will maker. In 1851 she executed one by which
she left him 5001. Afterwards she gave him 2,0001. and a
third of her neither. Later still she doubled this legacy,
and by the will before the court she left him 2.0001. as •
remembrance of her husband, and 4,0001. as a remembeaces
of herself. She also gave him the whole of the residue, and
amongst her nephews and nieces she distributed a number
of legacies, the largest being 500/. She had at one time
had her nephew, William Edward Sims, the plaintiff, to live
with her; but she had dismissed him in consequence of a
quarrel. She left him only 500/. The will and codicils
had all been drawn by Mr. Wm. Harris, of 5, Stone-
buildings, Lincoln's-inn ; and it was alleged that the whole
process of giving instructions, collating the engrossed copy
with the draft, and executing each instrument, had been
gone through in the most formal and methodical
manner. The codicils did not make any material changes
in the disposition of the property. At the tes-
tatrix's last birthday party she desired Mr. Hall, one of
her nephews, but not one of the opponents of the
will, to read the following popes :—" In order to make per-
fectly clear my intention towards Mr. John Hutchinson, as
expressed in my last will, I wish to note down a few words
in explanation of the motive which has induced me to re-
prd that gentleman in the favourable manner I have
thought proper to do. Mr. John Hutchinson attended
through his last fatal illness my dear husband, with a devoted-
ness and assiduity most exemplary ; for thirty-six days and
nights he never left his patient, but endured all the fatigue
incident to such a prolonged attendance with cheerfulness,
kndneas, and undivided attention, So much were his ser-
vices appreciated by his dear suffering patient that towards
the close of his life, when nature was sinking exhausted,
and the voice scarcely audible, he yet was able to give
utterance to the following significant expressions .
My dear wife—a good son—take care of him."
To me that expression was a command, and I have felt it
my duty to carry out the intention and implied wish of as
kind, benevolent, and amiable a man as ever existed, whom,
I feel assurvil, had it pleased God to have spared him a
little longer, would have bestowed some substantial mark
of his approbation and his esteem on his devoted medical
attendant. "A. WATSON.

"July 8, 1P59.
"I have been neither cold nor indolent in preparing to
discharge what I consider a sacred duty."
After Mr. M. Clambers' opening statement the day was
occupied with the evidence of Mr. Harris, who proved most
of the above statements. According to the witness,
the deceased was a woman of singularly good busi-
ness habits and skill in accounts. She powered
great powers of expression, and was very precise and metho-
tlical in her habits. She was a great reader, and kept •
journal, in which she regularly entered the books she
perused, with such comments and critical remarks as
occurred to her mind. Stypimens were read respecting
Virgil and Junius. They Were couched in very stately
Johnsonian English, but were not remarkable for the
novelty of the ideas they contained. The witness detailed
at great length the numerous and complicated matters of
business which he bad transacted for her, and which ex.
Melded over • great number of years, down to within
• very abort period of hisysleath. Witness had no
manner of doubt as to h* perfect capacity to
execute the instruments before the court. Mr.
Hutchinson never attempted to interfere with her. At the
clon funeral most of the relatives of testatrix were present,
including those who were now 'tut the will. None of
them sad anything against tl testatrix's capscity, and
none lodged a caveat. Mr. Wei. Sims, the plaintiff! was
there, drunk. Had heard the deceased express diesatisfac•
tion at the conduct of Mr. Alfred Hodgson. She was dis-
satisfied with Mr. Ferdinand Hodgson beause be bad mar-
ried the daughter of a baker opposite to her. As to Mr.
Blosam, he had taken the benefit of the Insolvent Act
twice, and bad subpoenaed him as • witness. She was also
dissatisfied with her other relatives.

erose-examined—Mr. Hutchinson did not appear parti-
cularly at home at /Ira Watson's parties. He used to sit
y her side. His wife was present. Had known copies of
verses presented to the deceased. Mr. Hutchinson did not
read them to her. She used to have them printed. Should
say she was rather • vain woman. These addresses were
anonymous. Had not seen the addrees for 1856, which
ended with something in Hebrew. (Laughter.) In 1858
Mr. Prank Hutchinson, the defendant's brother,
that • portrait should be taken of her, and should be
for by • subscription amongst her friends. Was acting as
attorney for the defendant. Had heard from the defendant
that the testatrix expected him to call on her every morn-
ing and every evening. Her habits were not eccentric.
At the conclusion of this witness's examination the awe
was adjourned until Thursday.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS COURT.--JuNe 27.
(Before the Chief Coommicuter.)
IX RE ROBERT ALMS.

Mr. Sargood applied to the court for a rule on Messrs.
Clarke and Carter, the prison solicitors appointed by the
omporation of London for Whitecrosa street Prison, to re-
fund 151. 17s. (or a part) paid to them by the insolvent to
conduct his business in the court. On the 22nd instant the
insolvent appeared, but his notice had not been served, and
his case was adjourned, with leave to employ mother at-
torney. The insolvent had employed Mr. James Holt, and
the application was that the money paid to them might be
returned.

The court granted a rule nisi returnable on Monday, say-
ing that Messrs. Clarke and Carter were clearly liable torus
action for keeping the insolvent in prison.
