Mr. BINNOCII rostemded that they were not correct, awi
cestplelsied of the matmer to which the last meeting wee
ecaveawl and held.

Altos few words dimply from Ms. SI OMIT Sr ITN,
Sir JAMES Det• reemeated himself and we well
reeeired. He mid he stood the,. In the position of
• culprit locum it was alleged against him that he had
recently refused to support Mr. Dodson, the liberal candidate
for East Sara. He would tell then why he refined.
(Hsu, hem.) He lima on inquiry that Mr. Dodson was
anxious to get tale ;ornament as • supporter of Lord
Palmcraton'm government without giving any definite ex-
planation of his political principles; in fact, his views epos
the peat topics ends day were 'resistingly undefined, but
there were two points upon which ha entirely
differed with Mr. Dods. That gentleman was oppoesj to
tote by Ulla, and • supporter of the Maynooth pant.
Now be (Sir James Duke) had been essay yews in ;orna-
ment, and while he had 'limp set his fees against state
pants to any church, he had always voted Ilir
the ballot, and stood up for the cum al civil and religious
Duty. (Hear, hear.) But did he stand alone In this
Batter ? Why, for the memo reasons that he had felt himself,
Kr. Cobden. and other liberal electors or East Sussex refused
to support Mr. Delano. But there was one elector who did
not differ with Mr. Dodson upon the two vital (monies. he
had just referred to, and that elector being his friend,
and • midget in Landon, be canvassed him to
go down and support Mr. Dodson. (Oh, oh, and disappro-
bation.) He regretted that Mr. Alderman Salomon did
not give him notice that he intended to impugn his
anduct at the Met meeting, or ha would have
law care to be punt, but it was nunottred,
Motet he could not credit It, that the alderman
had repreeented that he (Sir James) had Toted fur Lord
Pevenary,:the coneervati re candidate foryart Sumer. (Hear,
Yes.)

be did not credit it, and he had may to repeat his regret tint
be worthy alderman did not give him nodes of his com-
plete!, as he had been under the impreseke that ea
explanation he had given to him at the Reform Club was
adistactory. (Hear, hear.) As regarded his candidature
ler the city of London, he felt that hitherto he had done his
duty to the electors, and he hoped he had not forfeited
their ecadenee. (Hear, hear.) It we. of importance to
the City that it should bare a man with leisure and the
'Winer to devote himself wholly to its interest ; he wain&
a man, and if the electors were ready to accept him again, he
was quite trilling to represent them in the next parliament
as faithfully as he had done in the past.
Mr. RAIIIIS Counts next presented himself to the
meeting, and was received with chain. He said he
hesitated at flout offering himself se • candidate foe the City
mittil he was satisfied that there wee a demos of another
Keret being returned. He had so saddled Limed:Land finding
that Mr. J. Gilpin would present himself to the

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
THIS DAY.

EQUITY COURTS.
(Br tomato Lords Jag:iota of APPS•)

Their lordships delivered their judgment upon this appeal
motion, beard by them towards the end of February lest,
and then mentioned in the Erprees.
The appeal, presented by Lord Stourton, was from en
ceder of the Muter of Rolls, appointing the Ron. Caroline
ebsurton sole guardian of her infant son, the posthumous
and only child of the late Hon. John Stourton,
• younger eon of the late Lord Stourton. It ap-
peared that the I ether died in tho year 1847, • member
of the Roman catholic church, in which he had lived ;
and that the respondent, the mother, up to that time,
and for throe or four years afterwards, wee deo • member of
that church. In 1862 she became a convert to the Anglican
church, and she bad all eking, without any Interference on
the pert of her deceased huatiande relations, brought up the
child in the Anglican faith. Ths question was, whether under
these eirctunstanees the court would direct • Roman Catholic
guardian to be appointed, with • view to restoring the
child to, and bringing him up fa, the faith of Ids Whir, or
whether it wee not too fat/shaving regard to any religions ten-
mession or bias the child's mind might have received, to
direct snob • change to be made. Upon tho argument for
the appeal,
Mr. Sophie., ern., and Mr. Iligehawe, jun., appeared
for the appellant, end Mr. R. Palmer and Mr. G. M.
Gifford for the respondent.
Their lordships dismissed the appeal, being of opinion,
after their interview with the child on the 28th of February
lest, that it would be dangerous to attempt to change the
milgloss impressions which under the guardianship and
care of his mother, the child had received; and that
they could not now make an order for • Catholic guardian to
be appointed, with • view to having the child educated In the
faith of its father, though such • direction would have been
of course, had the application been made by the relatives of
the father immediately or shortly after him death.
