LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF A PPSAL. - JUNE 3.
Been the Lott Obaneellor.)
lif RI HOLOATI—A COWER&

This was a peittiOraTy---eiTirt*lifritateiblers within the
parte of Lindsey, in the county of Lincoln, praying that
Mr. Charles Henry Holgate might be removed from his
office of coroner within the said district, on the ground of
misbehaviour in his office. It seemed that oomplainte
having been made to the justices at quarter seseions„ held
at Kirton relative to the non-payment by Mr. Holgate of
sums received by him of the county for the payment of
medical and other witneeses, a comruittee was appointed in
April, 1867, to investigate tbe charges. They reported that
the conduct of Mr. Holgate, when ha had been applied to
relative to the holding of inquests, had been improper and
altogether incompatible with the dignity of the office; of
coroner ; that at ionic inquests he had excluded ill
medical witnesses therefrom ; that although a special fee
of tie, Bd. was allowed him under the set of let Viet. C. 68,
see. 3, for paying the expenses of constables, witnesses, and
others immediately after the conclusion of an inquest, yet
it had bean almost hie invariable practice not to pay such
expenses at the termination of the inquest, and that in
some instances he had asked the constables and other wit-
nesses to sign receipts for their allowances as if the money
had been paid to them, and then used such receipts as
vouchers on passing his accounts at the quarter ses-
sions, leaving the parties unpaid for consider-
able periods ; that Mr. Holgate bad even been
sued in the county court for runs thus
held back by him, and had declined to make allowances
for the use of a room for holding itquests, and for the
expense of taking proper care of the dead body previous
to an inquest, end that since he was paid by salary for
holding inquests, and not by fees for each inquest, he bad
neglected to hold inquests in some oases where he ought
properly to have held them. Under these circumstance',
the present petition was presented. Four of the peti-
tioners were justices of the peace for the county. On
behalf of the rexpondent, it wan denied that he had
ever used improper language on the occasions
referred to. It was alleged that the medical
men in his neighbourhood had entered into an
lirraugement with him not to receive their ken anti; he
had received the money at the next quarter sessions ; that
he had held office for 30 years without any complaint, and
that 600 of the freeholders of the county had signed •
memorial in his favour. No cases of withholding in-
quests were brought forward in which the circumstances
were of a suspicious character. The only cases relied
upon were those of old women obviously dying a natural
death, and that of a child who was found dead in its
mother's bed. These, it was contended, were pot cases in
regard to which the court would decide that the coroner
had been guilty of a dereliction of duty.
Mr. ;Mame, Q.C., and Mr. Mahler for the petitioners;
Mr. Hinds Palmer, Q.C., for Mr. Reigate.
The Lord Chancellor said this was au extremely painful
case, and he should be glad indeed if he could indulge
theme feelings of compassion and forbearance which one
naturally experienced with reference to a gentleman who
had filled • public office so long as this gentleman had.
Unfortunately in the case he had merely a public duty to
discharge, and if he found that this gentleman
had proved against Lim a case of misbehaviour
in Lis office, be should he failing in the dis-
charge of that miblic duty if he did not exercise
the power which the act of parliament, for the protec-
tion of the public, had reposed in the Lord Chancellor.
There were in subetance three charges—lit, The charge of
taking receipts for disbursements which were not really
made, and afterwards using such receipt; as vouchers ;
2nd, The charge of neglect of duty as to holding inquests,
and the manner of holding them ; and, 3rd, The charge of
intemperate language and behaviour in the performance of
the duties of coroner. With regard to the second and
third charges, although the evidence showed that the con-
duct of the coroner bad been highly improper, yet, if the
case rested on those charges alone, he (the Lord Chancellor)
should have felt bound to take further time to consider
whether. notwithstanding the existent's of a conside-
rable dereliction of duty, he might not avoid the
extreme measure of dismissing Mr. Holgate from his
office. With respect to the first charge, that of
taking receipts from persons whom he had not actually
paid, and afterwards obtaining money from the county
funds by using those reoeipts as vouchers, the evidence
was conclusive. Mr. Holgate did not deny one word of
it, and the result wee that a greater scandal could not
be imagined. There had been a misappropriation of pub-
lic money by this gentleman by virtue of his position as
coroner. The court would be shrinking from a duty
which was imperative upon it if it did not at once make
an order removing Mr. Reigate from the couneission and
direct s. new writ for a coroner to issue.

ELECTION INTELLIGENCE.

CARDIFF.—A short time ago it was rumoured!
that Colonel Crichton Stuart, who has oat for Cardiff in
the liberal interest wince 1857, would not again offer him-
self to the constitoeusy. It la now, however, authorita-
tively stated that the hen. and plant gentleman will
eome forward. Camel Stuart is a relative of the Marquis
of Bute, who owns much property in and around Cardiff.
On the conservative aide the names of several gentlemen
have been mentioned as possible candidates.
Caitniusii.—lt is announced that Sir Thomas
Lloyd and Colonel Pry's will retire from the representa-
tion of Cardigan county and boroughs respectively. Both
members are moderate liberals. Colonel Pryse ban given
great dizsatisfaction by his inattention to his parliamen-
tary duties, and more especially has thin been complained
of since the debates and divi4ons on the Irish church.
He has sat for the boroughs tinge 1a.57. Sr Thomas Lloyd
was returned for the county in July, ltd.i.

_ .
CORK.—The liberals of the county of Cork, in
anticipation of the county bein4 divided into two electoral
districts by the new Reform Bill, are preparing for the
duties they consider that change will impose upon them,
If the division finally resolved on shall include in the
western district, Clonahilty, Bantry, Skibbereen, and Dun-
manway, the Freemen'. Journet sees no reason why the
liberals should not return a member of their own choice.
The name of Mr. Vincent Ssully is now mmtioned among
Cork iandidatea. The &dare:o of Mr. MM'arthy Downing,
a liberal, hi already before the esietitueney.

ATHLONS. —There are four candidates already in
the field for this borough. Mr. Bearden, the present
member, Sir John Enuis, Bart., and Mr. Sullivan, of the
Notion, will come forward on liberal principles. Mr.
Robert Bayley is expected to stand as a defender of church
and state.

WF.XFORtI.—It is stated that Sir James Power,
the liberal member, will not again seek the suffrages of
the electors, but intenis retiring in favour of his eldest
son. Mr. Matthias Aldan Maher, of Ballinkeel, is spoken
of as a second liberal candidate for the county, in connec-
tion with young Mr. Power. The conservative member is
Mr. Kavanagh.

STO. KTo:r. —The conservatives .)f the new parlia-
mentary borough of Stockton-nn-Tees Lave invited Lord
Ernest Vane Tempest to come forward us a candidate for
its representation in opposition to Mr. Joseph Dodds, who
has been selected by the liberal.. It is hot yet known
whether his lordship will secede to the request.
PEMBR. E.—air Hugh Owen, the sitting mem-
ber, &liberal, is threatened with opposition from Mr. Ben-
jamin Hardwicke, who unsuccessfully opposed the bon
hart. iu

NOY.TH EAT!' NOR! OLK.-A loma paper contra-
dicts, on the best authority, r. report whit)) appears to
have been largely circulated in the neighbourhood of Yar-
mouth, that the representation of the north-east division
of the county M likely to be compromised by the liberal
party ; the fact being that the party are fully prepared to
contest both seats and the only reason why their candi-
dates are not already before the constituency is the diffi-
culty which is felt in their selection.

•
Nik, Bagnall, the present member for
Whitby, and a conservative, having signified his intention
not to contest the borough at the next election, the con-
servatives have nominated Mr. William Beckett Denison.
The liberals have applied to Mr. IL S. Thompson, but the
new borough of Darlington has received a promise from
that gentleman. Failing Mr. Thompson, the liberals
intend to apply to Captain Tui ton. 31r. Denison unsuc-
cessfully contested the southern division of the West
Riding in. 1865.

N w Rust*.—No liberal has as vet been named
for New Rosa ; but opposition is still threatened sgaisat
Colonel Tottenbani, the sittiLg nien.ber.
Yo .oar..—ln this borough, ak:eoriiing +0 some
Irish papers, Sir Joseph M•Kenna will probably be opposed
by Mr. Francis Lyons, the present Mayor of Cork, and
sou of Dr. Lyons, who formerly represeited that city.
Sir John Aruott and a local laudlotil, Mr. Little, are also
spoken of. . .

BELFIiT. —Should thin importan borough obtain
a third member, the liberals are confident that they could
return n candidate on the representation of minorities
principle. _

Qt 'EE3es Cu' NTY.—Mr. Fitzpatrick, th 3 liberal
member, is threatened with oppoUtion, on account of Ilk
having supported Mr. taadstone's Irish church resolu-
tions.

OXIOP.D CITY. —Mr. Charles Neste, M.P., has
written a letter to the Mayor of Oxford, stating his inten-
tion to retire into private life at the close of the present
parliament. A requisition has been presented to Mr. Ver-
non Harcourt, Q.C., asking him to come forward in the
room of Mr. Neste. The learned gentleman has consented
to do so, and promises to make an early visit to the city
with a view of addressing the constituency. The feeling
in favour of Mr. Harcourt's candidature is general amongst
the liberal party. No one has u yet been announced by
the conservatives.

WI. K.—Mr. George Loch. of Uppat, has com-
menced at Dingwall his canvass for the representation of
the Northern Burghs. He has attended a large meeting
of the electors ; and, on the motion of the provost, it was
resolved to support Mr. Loch's candidature.
NOMINATION PAPERS. —Yesterday the Liverpool
Town Council, at their monthly meeting, adopted a re-
commendation of the general and parliamentary commit-
tee to petition the House of Commons to amend the pre-
sent method of nominating candidates to serve in parlia-
ment, by substituting nomination papers, to be signed and
delivered to the returning °dicers a certain time before the
day of election.

ROYAL Ai:RIM:LTV:RA L BENEVOLENT I NiTITT-
TION.—Tbe eighth anniversary festival of this valuable
institution was held last evening at the Freemas'ons-
hall, Great Queen-street ; Viscount Enfield, 31.1'., in the
chair. About IN gentlemen eat down to an excellent
dinner, and amongst those present were Col. Sir C. Rus-
sell, 'M.P., Mr. Briscoe, M P., Mr. lilechi, Mr. Plows, Mr.
Hudson, Mr. Cresaingham. Rev. Mr. McCall, and Rev.
Mr. Berkeley. This institution, of which her Majesty
the Queen is patron, was founded in 11400, with the object
of providing pensions to G.ud Jule farmers, their widows
and tensile fled orphan daughters, and of maintaining and
educating the orphan children of farmers. A feature of
the institution is that pollens of every religious de-
nomination are eligible. There are now upon pen-
sions twenty male pensioners at 20!. per annum,
8 married ones at 401. ; 32 widows at 201. ; four un-
married orphans and 4 widows at 101. per annum.
The total receipts during the year have amounted to
5,978/. On the side of expenditure we find 1,475/. paid
away in pensions; the salaries and wages were 4501.45. 3d.;
and, including this large Rens, the expenses altogether
during the year were 89lit. 13e. 4d. 3,000/. was invested
in Reduced Three per Cent Consols. The fixed capital of
the institution amounted to 12,000/. Consols and 8,0001.
Reduced—balance in hand, 770/. The chairman, in pro-
peeing the _toast of the evening, Continued Prosperity
to the Royal Agricultural Benevolent Institution,' said
that the progress and present position of the institution
must be considered highly satisfactory. The immense im-
portance of the institution could not be questioned. Agri-
culture was an occupation peculiarly liable to sudden
vicissitudes, such as drought, bad weather, ko. It should
be known that the assistance afforded by the society was
distributed to its recipients at their own homes, and for
this reason it was doubly valuable. The chairman, ea-
uupon the characteristics of the farming cl said
tritass
admirers
they
were of a handsome woman, a fine horse,
and a clever hound. The musical arrangements were under
the direction of Mr. G. Perren, assisted by Miss Mabel
Brent, Miss Palmer, Mr. T. Lawler, and Mr. J. L. Hatton.
The subscriptions announced during the evening amounted
tO 4,000!., and included a subscription of 25 guineas from
her Majesty, and one of ten guineas from his Royal High-
ness the Prince of Wales.

THIS ODD FELLOWS A. M. C. AT CHELTENHAM.
—Yesterday the Annual )loveable Committee of the Man-
' cheater Unity of Odd Fellows, which is in session at
Cheltenham, gave a very important decision with respect
to the age at which members shall be received into the
order. A proposition from the Aberdare district was in
troduoed by the Rev. Dr. Price, and its purport was to
give districts power to receive members of the age of 16,
but such members were not to be allowed to enter lodges
during lodge hours, or receive signs or pass words, or be
entitled to cards of clearance until they attained the age
of 18—the minimum age at which members have
hitherto been received. The subject has been discussed at
intervals by the A. M. C. for the last ten years, awl at
Plymouth it was decided by a majority of two votes to
reduce the age at which members may be received from 18
to let A demand was made for the names and
votes of the delegates to be recorded, and on that being
done the small majority in favour of the change was
converted into a majority of three against it. Yesterday
the matter again gave rise to a long and animated discus-
don, in which nearl forty of the delegates took part. An
effort was made to defer the question for another year, '
on the ground that the change proposed would be incon-
sistent with rules that would remain unaltered, and that
there were not tables of rates of contribution for members i
of eighteen years of age. The amendment was rejected
by a decisive majority, and amidst considerable excite-
ment, the original proposition was carried by 169 to 95
votes, and in accordance with a demand made to that
effect, the names and addresses of the delegates who voted
on the question were recorded. The result, therefore, of
the decision of the A. H. C. is, that in future youths of
16 may become members of the order, subject to the re-
strictions as to their rights and privileges alrtady
rosin-
acted. . .
