should come into, and be exported from, the said poi.-
and that the best mode, probably, of settling what should
be paid was by concurrence between the receiver al,c;.
persons liable to pay, and that by assimilation, ag
as they could assimilate to the nature of the thing

cribed, and that the same might legally be done :
the said objection as to the arbitrary imposition the
assessment, and varying and unreasonable amount, o 4_o°
said town's customs had nothing to do with the dernanatube
the said defendants, except as it might go to shrthst
improbability of the custom ever existing at a-,
there was nothing claimed against the said defendavld
but what had existed as far as was known fr°lllt°to
times, so that there was no ground for the defendants to
say they would not pay the said town's customs heca e
it was the subject of a new arrangement in consequend
of the articles being new. And the said chief justic
net direct the said jury as the said counsel for the Balds
defendants, had theretofore, in that behalf, insided as
aforesaid. And the said chief justice did then
express his opinion to the said jurors that the said
entries, documents, matters, and things objecte
aforesaid, were admissible in evidence, and ough
considered by them, and did read and submit tl
to them accordingly. And the said chief jtl'3
not leave it to the said jurors to consider 1,1101

left the case to the said jury, and the said jury then end
there gave their verdict for the said mayor, bailiffs' he'cie
burgesses, and £486 9s. 10d. damages, being thew "the
sum claimed by the said plaintiffs, and including no
dues in respect of goods landed and shipped at itnecaiid
aforesaid. Whereupon the said counsel for the said
defendants did then and there, on behalf of the "-aid
defendants, except to the aforesaid opinion of the 6
chief justice, and insisted on the said several Wtel;:i
before insisted on ; and inasmuch as the said otle„d,
matters so insisted on, as aforesaid, by the said dele':d
ants, do not appear by the record of the verdict aforesalivi
the said counsel for the said defendants did then Ito
there propose their aforesaid exceptions to the opielbio

seal to this bill of exceptions, containing the said sev-aia
matters so produced, and given in evidence by the spral
; mayor, bailiffs, and burgesses and the said se said
matters so insisted on by the said counsel for the sloe

The bill of e pxceptdions being filed, the pro

examine the state of the municipal corporations 0
England and Wales, with a view to correct the she 01
in those bodies, was issued, and as in the 003°,1%11

of their of that ilabnquirou rsy., certain of the con? eilj

sioners appointed to investigate the state of Munkbet
corporations, visited Liverpool ; an; some time :atio•
their visit an attempt was made to terminate, 011'a %atea
factory basis, the ligitation between the associ
the
merchants and the corporation. After negotiation,
niy
merchants consented to an arrangement, being strollnoi
impressed with a conviction that the legislature, bal.l
had their attention drawn to the obvious inj

partial operation of the town's dues, as a coma'
impost, would immediately take measures to place
men and non-freemen on the same footing.

Bolton, Ogden, Sc. Co. who became defendants in tie` •
at the call of the merchants, were, as part of the rtibe
elated merchants, bound to obey the resolution 'tiffs
whole body ; and it was finally agreed that the Pl3,hat
and defendants should each pay their own costs, an °4.4

proceedings. The committee at the same time (It c the
