Lord RAY N/IA M, in moving the second reading of this
Lill, odd there hail been so legislation on this, subject for
12 years, and it hail been found that many offences of this

drovers driving catUe in the met/opt/into districts. There
weressasy other provisions, the objects of which be might

MASTERS AND OPERATIVES BILL.
Mr. MACKINNON moved the second reading of this bill,
which he said had passed the House of Commons last year.
The Lords bad, however, thought it right to refer it to a
select committee, and owing to the lateens, of the period

select committee, in order to settle some of its debuis ; hot
the largo number of oiromunicetions he bad received from

The SOLICITOR-GENERAL was sorry to say that his

THE

manner. On the present ace lion he feared his speech
would be against the bill, as well as his vote. The present
wide of the law was coextensive with the bill, and the effect
14 the proposed legislation would be to lead to confusion. It
vidod that is the brat plain the matter in dispute should
referred to • council to be nominated by a select commit-
tee. If there we* one thing mom plain than another as to
throe dispiitin, it um that the executive government should
sWnl perfectly dear of them. (Ifeer, hear.) They
were matters as to which neither the judicature nor the
executive authority ,4 the country could interfere with
beneficial effect. 'l*.oy should look for the diminution and
.16CNICII of these &motes to the increased knowledge and
improved intelligence .4 the working classes. (Hear.) He
was happy to AP/ that these disputes had latterly become
much, lens numerous than formerly. These questions were
now ilisciissed in an argumentative manner on both sides.
The political economy might be extremely hail, but still
there was an to &muss the matter on a rational
bum lied he believed that newspapers which exereimel an
influence inimical the working classes were not favourable
to strike., i.e.' hail given sound though unpalatable advice
to the working men. Ile had a fundamental objection to
the iirinciptii of the bill, and believed it could not lead to
ape satisfactory roonit. and therefore, while giving every
credit to his hoe. friend for his excellent intentions, he was
&diced to oppose the measure.
)I r. L. (It't er. Elt 'obi that the system of referring dis-
putes to mimed' of arbitration had existed in the potteries
for *erred pare, and had worked remarkably well. Ile
Mel not we why the mine system should not be voluntarily
adopted in other treas.. He concurred in the objections
which had Lem mined to the present bill, and was reluc-
tantly compelled to vote against the second reading.
Mr. F. 4 'ltOSViligY believed that the bill would be per-
fe,tly inoperative, and that in attempting to legislate on the
subject the house was going beyond its province. (Hear,
hear.) Tho arrangement of these disputes should be left
altogether to the 'lemons immediately interested in them,
and he believed that they would be more effectually settled
by the good fading of the raters and their workmen than
lir any enactuient of the legislature.
• Mr. MELLOR mid that a society of the nature referred
to existed at present io Nottingham, and its success was
altogether owing to its voluntary character. The present
bill was open to all the objections which had bees urged
against it ; bet he would be happy to support a measure
that would give form to the decisions of those voluntary
asinciitinus. (" Divide, divide.")
Mr. A YHTON was proceeding to address the house when,
the time for adjournment having arrived, the further con.
siderstioe stood postponed.
The house adjourned at a few minutes before 6 o'clock.

Mr. Charles Pointer paired, on Tuesday night, in favour
of the uvernment, on the motion for adjournment, with
Kr. C. Paz.ke amnion.
Mr. Adam paired against the Valuation Acts Amendment
Bill with Mr. Perry %VatLangton in favour.

LONDON' MIICHANICS INSTrrurrozr.

A public dinner was held on Tuesday last at the
London Tavern, for the of &klieg the fund recently
estahhs'.ied to purchase the Tins of the London Mechanics
'esthete& and thus at once to relieve the iustitution front
the preset of a heavy annual rental (whieh has been one
ef the math MIMS of its embarramments), and to release
the treeless, Lord Brougham and Mr. Joshua Walker, from
their personal liabdity is legend to the lease, the legal, and
other eiporres. The chair was taken by Mr. THOS.
Mamie, /LP.
After the customary loyal toads,
The CliatiuLUl proposed the health of the Army and
Wavy, which was responded to by General Count
ffemoyeki.
The Cnatawan propeed the health of the corporation of
Lueders, atatlag that that body NO on • former occasion
witearibed 1001. towards the object which they were met to
prosnots.
air J. Doss, in acknowledging the toast, maid be was
waded that there was no object more deserving the as-
datums of the corporation than the London Mechanics la.
ditutioe, which had
,accomplished so much for educatioe
in the metropolis.
The Catamaran then proposed " The Health of Lord
Ireegfeass. wad Prosperity to the Landon Mechanics'
Institution." He said they must all admit that
from the diet appearance of mechanics' institutions
in this country, coupled with the other efforts
ittrth by Lord Brougham, they could date a great
ei inning in the
.geoeral feeling and education of
the people. They originated in the wise and munificent
effort@ of Dr. Birkbeck—(cheers) —who first delivered
souress of lectures to mechanics in Glasgow ; but it was riot
till 1823 that the first Mechanics' Institution was esta-
Whiled is Eaglaad, and that was the institution which they
were thew assembled to aid. At one time it bad 1,200 or
1,500 members ; bet, owing to the rime of many other com-
peting institutions, which it. own example had called into
existeace, to the establishment of reading rooms, and the
mitensitio circulation of cheap literature, the number of
mesehere digitised. Still the institutio• was acting an im-
portant part in the education of the people, sod dawned
every support which it could obtain, if only for the
objects it bad already achieved. It had called into exist-
ewe some 600 similar societies throughout England, wad Lt

wee of the highest importance that institutions should be
setahlimhed and fostered with • kindly hand, which should
withdraw them from Moue allurements and afford them
the mans of preasentiag their studies and cultivating their
intellectual powers. The inhabitants of London might well
he ashamed if they permitted the parent institution to La-
pia far want of perammy assistauce. (Hear.) A project
Lad been set on foot to purchase the loam of the
fee this 3,1100 f. would be required, together
WNW legal and other expenses, for which Lead
=and Mr. Walker were responsible. Of that sum
Ibsen raised, principally by • meeting called at
the west end of London ; and it was coofidently and
reasombly hayed that the City would supply the
remadder. 1,5001. had been rahsd on mortgage and
added to the 2,0001. aka* subscribed ; seat with
these same the team lad been purchased. It was
now &aired I. pay off the mortise and liqui-
date the elpe,MIS ; and he considered that it
would be a lasting diagram to the City if it did not
respond liberally to the appeal thus made to it in behalf el
an institution which was the source of so much marl and
intellectual improvement within its precincts. It was •
debt of honour which they owed to those noble men who
so liberally stood forward when their support was wanted—
who lent their names and pve their money, believing, as
they reasonably might, that they would have the general
erincurnitee of public opinion and support in favour of their
efforts. He called upon all who had the means to show
their admiration for the generosity and seal of time Mae to
whose efforts they were so greatly indebted, by ramming
them from that position of liability iu wLich they ought
to have been placed. (Loud cheers.)
Bir C. Itaertieron, in proposing the health of the Chair-
man, referred to the may benefits eenierred upon society
by the Load's Meelmake laditsitices, of which he was an
said member, sad the claims which it presented to public
gamet:lisnuisur hadwg briefly acknowledged the toast,
Mr. Dez.ws prnpased the health of Mr. Biricisock, the
president of the institution, did
Mr. Bottum; is reepoeslung to the toad, replied to the
argument which he said was frequently brought forward,
that mechanics' institutions ought to be self-supporting, by
alluding to the universities—establishments bearing •

their espenaes. (Hear, hear.) If such was' the' case
with institutions designed fur the education of the rich, was
it a matter of surprw that public aid should be sought for
institutions established for the instruction of working uses
who had small incomes, and were almost without the means
of instructing themselves! (Hear, hear.)
Speeches were than delivered by Mr. Alderman Dalin,
Mr. H. M. Vane, and Mr. S. Vallentine and aubscriptions
were announced (including 1001. from the chnirmawamount-

QUM F. REV. DAVID DILL.—DLECTION OF CHURCH-

WARDE2III.
In this case Mr. Cleasby bad obtained a rule for a man-
damus commanding the Rev. David Bell, incumbent of
Goole, Yorkshire, to proceed to the election of two church-
warden, for that parish, on the ground that the election
in April last was illegal and improper. It appeared that
the practice at Goole was that the incumbent should elect
one churchwarden and the parishioners the other. A
meeting was duly convened for the election, and after Mr.
Bell, who presided, had appointed his churchwarden, two
candidates were proposed on the part of the parishioners ;
and it was the course he pursued with regard to the latter
that was objected to. Instead of taking a show
of hands in the first instance, which it was
contended was the proper mode, he at once proceeded to poll
the persons present, and declared that candidate elected
who bad the largest number of votes. A show of hands
was demanded at the meeting, and afterwards an adjourn-
ment, in order that the whole pariah might be pulled, but
the incumbent refused both, and as soon as the numbers
bad been announced declared that the meeting was at
an end.

Mr. Temple having been heard against the rule, end Mr.
Cleasby in support of it,
The Lord Chief Justice said the court entertained no
doubt that the proceeding adopted by the rector wu irre.
gular. Instead of taking the sense of the ratepayers at the
meeting, according to established usage, by a show of
hands, iu the first instance, and then when • poll was
demanded, prozeeding to poll the whole parish, be
took the poll at once, and ea uo prior notice of it had been
given it followed that the poll was confined to the persons
present at the meeting or in the immediate neighbourhood,
sad that, practically, the majority of the ratepayers in this
large parish had no opportunity of recording their votes if
they were so minded. That was certainly an irregular pro-
ceeding, and if any practical mischief had resulted from it
the wart would treat the election as a nullity and direct a
fresh election. But before they issued a writ it was within
their discretion according to all the authorities, to say whe.
the:. there bad been any practical mischief and: the affida-
vits upon which the application was made did not show
directly or indirectly that any ratepayer was prevented
giving his vote by the course pursued, or that any person
desired to vote or would have voted if there had bees a
more ample notice or a more prolonged poll. He could also
readily understand that most of the ratepayers would
be perfectly indifferent as to who were elected
churchwardens, as it appeared that it had been
announced that no church rate would be proposed, and that
the amount required for the purposes of • church rate would
be raised by voluntary subscriptions. He, therefore, thought
that as this was an annual election the ought not to direct
a fresh election in respect of the irregularity. The purpose
of the applicant would be fully answered if they said that
the proceeding was not legal or proper, although it was not
so totally illegal as to vitiate the election. Under then
circumstances he thought the court would exercise a wise
discretion by abstaining from granting • madam&
Rule refused.

COURT.

OLD COURT.
(Before Mr. Justice Wiles.)

The prisoner John Relief*, and another post-office letter
carrier, named Jo.eph Aldred, who had also pleaded guilty
to a charge of stealing post letters, were then placed at the
bar to receive judgment.
Mr. Justice Willes, in passing sentence, said that the
prisoner Aldred had put in a statement in mitigation of
his offence, which was to the effect that the wages he re-
ceived from the post-office were inadequate to support him,
and that this had tempted him to commit the offence. He
had heard similar representations made before, and he felt
bound to say that it afforded no excuse. There were hun-
dreds and thousands of respectable persons in the country
who would willingly perform the duties that devolved upon
post-office letter carriers for the wages that they received,
and it was absolutely necessary that the public should be
protected from depredations of this description. He then
sentenced both prisoners to be kept in penal servitude for
six years.
Jobs Durden, 45, and James Holerof t, 50, the two per-
sons who stand charged with being concerned in plundering
the Commercial Bank to the amount of between 50,000/.
and 60,0001., were then placed at the bar.
Mr. Hawkins, (.C., who, with Mr. Taylor, was instructed
to defend the prisoner liolcroft, applied to his lordship
to postpone the trial of that prisoner to the next
session. He said that there were eight indictments found
against the two prisoners, by six of which be believed they
were charged with felony, and .by the other two they were
charged with conspiring together to obtain large sums of
money from the bank by means of making false entries in
the books. The transactions appeared to be of the most
complicated character, and extended over a great many
years ; and it would be a matter for very serious consider-
ation what answer should be made to the various charges
that had been preferred. He felt that it would be quite im-
possible for him to lay the prisoner's case properly before
the jury at the present session ; and he said he might state,
as an additional ground for the postponement, that only
within the last day or two aotioe had been served upon the
prisoner by the prosecutors calling upon him to produce
certain bills of exchange, cheques, and other documents,
the description of which alone filled the four sides of a sheet
of paper, and related to a vast number of transactions. It
would be impossible to comply with this notice utiles*
further time was afforded, and be therefore hoped 'his
lordship would allow the trial to stand over to the next
aession. _ _

Mr. Metcalfe, who appeared for the primmer Darden
(with Mr. Baxley), said that oa the part of his client it
war a matter of indifference whether the cue was at owe
disposed of, or whether it was poetpned to the nut
session.

Mr. Ciffard, who appeared for the prosecution, said that
all that was desired by the Commercial Bank was that the
matter should be properly investigated, and be would
merely observe that a number of witnesses were in atten-
dance from different parts of the country to give evidence,
and that the case was a long time under investigation at
the police court, and the prisoners mint be perfectly well
aware of the nature of the charges that would be preferred
whist them. At the same time, if his lordship should
think that the application for a postponement wu • reams-
able one, he should not offer any further opposition to it.
Mr. Justice Willes, after a abort deliberation, said he
thought be ought to grant the application fora postpone-
ment of the trial, but the prisoners must be prepared to
take their trial upon any, the first day appointed by the
judges for that purpose.
Edward &gars, 36, described as • merchant, was in-
dicted for forging an order for the delivery of goods with
intent to defraud Pierre Toni.

Mr. Kemp and ii;:i.l,;:cooducted the prosecution ; the
prisoner was defended by Mr. Metcalfe.
The circumstances connected with this charge have been
given very fully, recently, in the Oniklhall polies report.
The prosecutor of the indictment was a merchant ferry-
ing on business at Nice, and it appeared that the prisoner
wrote to him describing himself as "Raid and Co., importers
sod exporters, of No. 12, it. Andrew'erced, Heat-toad, and
gave him an order for a quantity of Leghorn beaus* the
invoice prior of which was 1161., which ware mat to the
address mentioned, and which wen to be paid for by a bill
at fifteen days' sight. There was, of course, no each Armee
Reid and Co. in existence, and it was proved that at the
time the order was sent the prisoner was confined in White-
erosr-street prison for debt, and that he gave an order for
the delivery of the goods, and they were sold by his direc-
tion, and the pr seeds heeded over to him. One of the
witnesses for the pressoutioe was Ignatius Pollaky, the
superintendent in the detective establishment of MI.
Field, the late inspector of polies, who was called to prove
the handwriting of the prisoner. He, however, expressed
some doubts upon this pmnt, and it was not until the
learned judge had psesmd him epos the subject, and handed
him the &poetess that be bad made before the magistrate,
that he expressed his belief that the letters sent to the pre-
mentor were ia the prisoner's handwriting.
The jury, after a short consultation, found the prisoner
Guilty, but et the ems time expressed their opinion that
the prosecutor bad acted very incautiously in parting with
his property to persons who were entire strangers to him.
Mr. Kemp observed that he wea thrown off his guard by
the Weiner-like form of the letters that were written to
him by the prisoner.
The learned judge, in passing sentence, observed that the
charge bad been very dearly established, and the only diffi-
culty presented in it was in consequence of the witness
Polleky declining, when he wee now examined, to give the
same evidence he did before the magistrate as to the hand-
writing of the prisoner. He was, however, aware from the
depositions what he had originally stated, and if he had
persisted in the statement he bad just made to-day, be
(the ladled judge) would have taken care that some further
steps should have been taken in the matter. He then sen-
tenced the prisoner to be kept to hard labour for eighteen
months.

In reference to the statement that has appeared in some
of she papers relative to the supposed attempt to break
into some of the rooms connected with the court, and that
the locks bad been tampered with for that object, it may
be as well to state that from inquiries that bare since been
made, it appears that although the lacks attires of the
rooms could not be opened readily with the keys belonging
to them, and the locks had evidently been tampered with in
some manner, yet as the building has been for many months
under repair, and there are new locks to every room, it is
possible that the wrong keys may have been used by some
of the persons connected with the establishment to these
rooms, and that this was the cause of the difficulty. It was
at Int suggested that the object of the depredators, if de-
predators they really were, was to Ohtani possession of the
costly chains and paraphernalia worn by the sheriffs, but it
may perhaps be as well to state that these valuable articles
are never by ►ay chance left upon the premises, so that this
object could not by any possibility have been effected.
