WEDNESDAY, APRIL 23, 1856

MR. LOWE, and his Town [Dues Committee sat
in judgment on Liverpool, for a second time, on
Monday ; but what that tribunal really have in
view, beyond taking from Liverpool alone, its
vested rights, we defy even the Manchester Cor-
poration to define. We have read carefully the
'hole of the evidence brought before them, and

certainly a more atrocious attack upon the
Municipal property of the realm, was never
attempted in any reign. The appointment of the
Committee was a complete mockery, as we declared
when it was first named. And the correctness of
the assertion requires no further proof, than the
simple fact, that all its Manchester witnesses have
to say, is obtained from the volumes of evidence
given before former Parliamentary committees,
and even the Shipping Tolls and Town Dues
Commissioners. Mr. HERON, who is Mr. LowE's
great gun, has not one word to say for himself,
beyond what he has had the effrontery to tell the
committee has been before Parliament for years, and
which has been re-cooked, hashed, and garnished, by
Royal Commissioners, within the last twelve months.
When the Town Dues and Passing Tolls Bill
was introduced, the Vice• President of the Board of
Trade took special care to tell the country that he
had made himself master of the whole question,
and that his bill embodied the suggestions made
by the several Parliamentary Committees and
Commissions ; and yet we have this very Mr.
LOWE sitting to hear the Towa Clerk of Man-
chester repeating the contents of these Blue
Books, as though he had never seen or heard of
them, and putting this Borough to many thousands
pounds of expense !

Was there ever such a flagrant mockery, or such
a vile piece of injustice, as this ? The House of
Commons would not receive Mr. LowE's Corporate
Spoliation Bill, and Lord PALMERSTON, to escape
a ministerial defeat, suggested the appointment
of a Select Committee to inquire, forsooth ! into
the whole subject, and the House very foolishly
consented to the proposal, believing, no doubt,
that it was only meant to shelve the bill as quietly
as possible. We cannot believe that either branch
of the legislature would suffer themselves to be
made a cat's-paw of by the Board of Trade,
and exposed to the obliquy which must
obviously attend such trifling with the pockets
and patience of the Burgesses of Corporate Towns
such as this. Government made their Bill out of
the evidence obtained by the usual tedious and
costly means—they made it a Cabinet measure
and they ought to have gone to a division on its
merits, and met the issue, as all ministers do in
such cases, and not have resorted, for a few days
retention of influence, to a course which may cost
the ratepayers of Liverpool above 20,0001., in
defendinc, a title to an'income which the superior
courts of law have decided is "good in law and
equity." It is trfling with the readers English
spirit of moderation, to be reiterating what Mr.
HERON, or any other witness the Select Committee
may be pleased to examine, but we only do so to
show the unutterable contempt in which the
whole spoliation scheme should be held by the
public.

If statesmen forsake our Constitutional land-
marks, and seek to violate all the rights of
property, as " by law established," merely to gain
patronage, and carry forward the work of centrali-
sation, we can scarcely be surprised at
Town Clerks originating a scramble in which
