The 'phallus' county of W684'18.411 pressessid
far the tenant-league anevesaent yesterday, and it
nest be said for the meeting which was held ea the
Oteadtm, that it differed from many of those whisk '
preceded it, in the important circumstance of ea-
bracing a mach greater preportion of the agricultural
element. There were more tenant farmers than have
been men at meet of tbe repent meetings, and even the
landlord class did not entirely hold aloof, as they have
hitherto for the moat part done. The County Court-house,
at Mullingar, was granted for the meeting by the High
sheriff, Sir John News., but as its precincts were
found altogether tan =now, a large ewe in front
of it was ahem for the perpeer, and a spacious plat-
form while wee eeeetad there, was crowded with
sempsetably deemed pwaoos, of whom, however, it
Red be admitted teat a very large portion were
rtistamse. Sir Percy Nugent, M.P., and Mr. W. H.
!healM.P., were prelim; the latter not having
until the proceedings had nearly terminated,
The chair wen hum by Cornelius Esq.,
of Kimmel% red Messrs. Luau, Fitsgibbon, and
Delueieebrused the league deputation.
The fenewbeg we is reported among last week's
peeseulliege in the Clonmel Insolvent Debtors' Court :
:NM R a fusser, she had been arrested at the suit
dMa vac in the case of Ricketts, minors, was opposed
en the ground of overholding the land, and paling no rent.
He owed nine years' rent, one farthing of which be would
not pay, neither would he eem up the land. All that the re-
solver wanted was to get the property out of his clutches.
Court—How elms you to owe so much rent, and what
brought you here?
lasolvent—On meant of the heavy rent I war paying.
I was paying a heavy rant, Indeed.
Mr. Lane (attorney for the receiver)—Why, man, you
paid nothing. How in the world can you complain of heavy
rent, when you didn't pay a farthing these nine years?
Court—Will you give up the land?
Insolvent—Yes, my lord, if I am paid my "rights."
Mr. Lane—What rigkm ?
Insolvent—What I'm Could I'm entitled to.
Court—Willyou give up the lead ?
Insolvent—Whoa I'm paid.
Court—Weil, I remand you for 12 months, and you'll be
let out when you give up poaseseion.
Insolvent—When I'm paid.
Court—You'll now go back to gaol, and on the day on
which you give up poseenion of the land, for which you have
not paid • farthing these nice year., you can get cut.
Inselvest—Oh ! very well, my lord. lam satisfied.
The tenantry of Mr. Batt, of the county of Dawn
have presented an address to their landlord, in which
thev ay:
ifs earnestly desire to express our minute gratitude to you
fer your unsolicited kindum towards us, in reducing our
rents, in some instances fifteen, end is others twenty per
ant., &mulling to cinumstuaces, and remitting the same lot
the two years lest put, besides promising to continue it for
the time to came. Such • proceeding on your part evidently
shows your affectionate redara for your tenantry, and we
trust that at will act u a stimulant to us, and suable us to pay
oar rents puneteelly in future. _

A manorial fora reduction of rents having been
adopted by the tenantry on the Londonderry estate
of the Marquis of Waterford, and Mr. Boyle, one of
the memorialists, having been deputed with it to the
marquis's office, returned after a short time, and thus
reported progress, according to a local paper :
After a short time Mr. Boyle returned, and said he had
given it to Mr. Beresford, who had afterwards given it to
Mr. Given, the under agent, end they had both read it. Mr.
Branford said, "This is the mesmerist to his lordship?"
" Yes, sir," said "sad the redaction be proposed is not
fit to meet the times." "Ha I" said he, " you want 25 per
cent., but if you got 50 it would not satisfy you." He thee
!seemed up, and said to me, "You have co reason to mike
each a poor Reath—your land Is not the d ." I thee
said, " I have lived for sixty years on the property, end my
lather before me, and I leave it to any man on the estate to
say whether I have not laboured hard and improved well.
My son is now going to leave me, for I can't put a new
suit of clothes on him, notwithstanding all my labour."
(Greet eheering.)—Chair: The next part of the burdens is
to select a deputation to to his lordship with thf
memorial that has been oad It has been calculated
that three gentlemen will be enough to represent the entire
property.—lt was then resolved that, in cyder to meet the
expenses necessary on the deputation's proceeding to Cur-
raAtinsore, a rate of one halfpenny in the pound be levied
off the tenantry.
Oa the Duke of Devonshire's estates in Limerick a
reduction of 25 per cent. was made in the rent paid
•
in 1849. A reduction of 12i per cent. btu been made
on the half-year's rent already paid this year ; it is
expected that the same will be allowed on the re-
maining half-year, and continued till times improve.

Mr. Malls;;, aiereesZi the Low Coano;i ror u be wee
rising at three o'clock, said there waa a motion on the paper
of Thursday on behalf of a party in a Ouse who was in prison,
and he understood from the party's wire, who wu then in
court, that the.. was some misnaderstandiag in respect to
the prisoner's petition forfora habeas corpus to be brought up to
court.

The Lod Chancellor said there was no mianderstandieg
in the matter. The party in his petition for the habeu cov-
eys stated only that he wee dwdrase to be present is a mo•
Lion to be made on his behalf. That was not sufficient, in
the eta of a prisoner in a civil cause, to warrant the issuing
of a babas corpus. Hs should state some grounds. His
lordship considered the spoliation well, and be felt that he
was baud to refuse It. The law on the subject was amply
stated in the mama of the case of the King v. Kabbala'
in 2 Chitty 's Hearts, sad is 3 Barnwell and Alderson.
The law was well considered before this person's application
was refused. If, however, Mr. Helios would undertake to
say that this person's promos in court would ben in

Mr. Bethel now moved experts for an injunction upon
affidavit, stating that the company had not the means of
paying the defendant's debt, end that the latter was upon
the point of ageing final judgment end tinting exe-
unt= upon a judge's order obtained by him in an
Geffen egoism the company. The ground upon which
the learned counsel founded the epplieration wee that
by the act 9 sad 10 Viet, e. 270, enabling the company to
mile money upon mortgage or bond, it was provided " that
the respective mortgagees and bond creditors of the corn-
patsy should be entitled to be paid out of the toile and effects
of the company the several sums advanced by them and
interest thereon, rateably and in pa portion one with the
other, and without preference the one above the other of
them; " and that the proceeding about to be taken by the
defendant would enable him to obtain a preference over the
other bondholders of the company, and thereby to defeat
the
eredmadams of the statute for the general benefit of the
itorat

The Vie* Chancellor refneed an order frr an injunction,
but gave leave to move upon notice to the defendant.

CLARKS V. LllOO2l. —ACTION AGAINST Till &MITT
TOR ♦ TAX GATHIV.I.B.
This was en action brought by one of the commissioners
of amused taxes upon a build given by the defendant es
sandy for • person named Welland, who bad been appointed
leader the act of parliament of the 43rd Ceo. 111., cap. 99,
me. 9, to be a collector of the unwed taxes for the town
and liberty of Diver. Mr Welland had turned out to be a
defaulter for the sum of 5741., for which amount the bond
had been give•, and for which the jury hal found a verdict.
' The ease was tried before the Lord Chief Biron at the last
assizes held at Maidstone, for the courvy et Kent.
Mr. Baleen% She., pursuant to leave reserved, now moved
ler a rule to show cause why the verdict should not be set aside
sad a nonsuit entered, on the ground that the act of parlia-
ment only *nth( rind the commissioners to appoint a col-
lector for each parish separately, and they had appointed
Mr. Welland collector to • district consisting of three
parishes. The appointment, therefore, was not a good one;
and all limey collected by Mr. Welland was consequently
illegally collected, and his surety could not be made liable for
his defalcations. In support of his argument the learned
serjeant cited the case of Makes v. Knowles" (14th
Bast).

The court expressed their opinion that it would be ev
treasely inconvenient if the act were construed in the
manner contended for by Mr. Serjeant Sher, and therefore
no rule ought to be granted.
Rule refused.

the best price; and the third for selling without due &p-
-i count,Twhbeen c aeui verdictfwora a
and also upon the second count, damages 281.
Mr. Chambers, Q.C., now moved, pursuant to leave re-
served, for a rule to enter the verdict for the defendant upon
the first count, or for a new trial. It appeared that the de-
fendant became the lessee of the Turf Hotel at St. Albers
at a time when a Mr. Coleman was in pessersion of the pre-
mises, he having kept ihe hotel for many years, but latterly,
muting into difficultne, he occupied the tJp only, the hotel itself
being let to Measn Quick and Dell ; the key of the whole of the
premises, however, wee left in the porsenion of Mr. Coleman,
who, during a temporary absence, entrusted it to his son.
Mr. Page, an auctioneer, applied to the son and obtained,
through him, an entrance into one of the rooms, in which
he deposited a quantity of goods, and afterwards cold them
by auction. A portion of those goods belonged to the plain-
tiff, and whilst the auction was pending they were nixed
for rent due in respect of the premien, and subsequently sold
for 521. The first question was whether the goods were
privileged from distraint, and the learned counsel contended
that they were not. The can of " Adams v. Grave" (3
Crump. and Matson, 300), would not apply, because In that
ease toe goods were sold in a public auction room, over the
door of which wu planed the words '. Anders-AV' Auction
Rums ;" and it wu clear that it was teethe benefit of the
public that goods sent there for sale should be protected. The
point now arose fir the first time, whether goofs deposited by
an auctioneer in a room, not a public auction room, were
liable to be di.trained for rent due for the premises whore
they were so lodged.
Mr. Justin Mauls thought that a public auction room wu
where a public auction took place. If not, how was the
title created? Must there be • freehold, or a term; or
would an estate tail, after poseibility of il.llO extinct, be suffi-
mot ? (A la2gh.)
Mr. Chambers said the point wee, whether it was suffi-
cient to hold an auction once, to constitute the place a
public auction room.
Mr. Justice Mauls—lf the auctioneer in this case had
had title to the room, there could be no cosephint. Thera
are CUM which say that goods in a man's hands belo•gieg
to some one else, for the purpose of his exercising his trade
on them, are not liable for rent. This case tails within
those general t. rens, and there is no ground upon which to
[Gana 1111 inception.
Mr. Chambers then proteeded to contend that the
verdict was against the evident* ; and also that the learned
judge had improperly admitted the evidence of • person
named Cowie, who applied to young Coleman on the part of
Piga for leave to use the room in the hotel: before this esi-
deuce could properly have been admitted, the ploi..tiff should
have called young Coleman, in order to ascertain whether
he had any authority to allow Page to use the room.
The Chief Justice said it wea clear there could be no rule
on the first point: the interests of trade would not allow
that the liability of goods to distraint should depend upon
whether the person holding them wu a trespasser or not.
Upon the other points the court would communicate with
the Chief Baron.
EIIoURT o, WILIUNIL—FRATIDIILENT BILL TRANSACTION.

In this cam Mr. Creasy moved for • rule eating on the
plaintiff and another person to show cause why an order of
M.r. Justice Coleridge to stay the proceedings in this cam,
upon payment of certain stuns, should not be set aside with
costs. The learned counsel said that the defendant was a
clergyman, from whom an acceptance tf 1501. had been
obtained in consequence of a money lending advertisement
by • penon calling himself " James Gardener." The defen-
dant did not get • farthing for his acceptance, but was sued
for the amount of it by the plaintiff when the bid became
due. Before the bill was presented, Gardener wrote the
defendant to say he had obtained 701. for the bill, but had
applied it to his own purpose.. A correspondence followed,
which ended in Gardener's suggesting that the defendant
should employ a solicitor whom he (Gardener) named,
end by whom advice the judge's order in question was
given. The learned counsel put in several affidavit. to
show that the transaction was a fraudulent one as against
his client, and the court granted a rule nisi.

WILL7.B.—APPOINTNINT Or TRIIIITIZS.
This was aa union of ejectment, brought to recover poe.
session of a sehoolhouse. The can was tried before Mr.
Janke Williams at the last amide of Shrewsbury, when a
verdict was returned for the lesson of the plaintiff.
Mr. Whitely, Q.C., mow moved, by leave of the learned
Jades, for a rale to set that verdict maids and enter a verdict
for the defendant, or for a new trial. It appeared there
IMO leVelblan trustees of this charity appointed in 1836,
and the defendant was appointed to fill the office of muter
of the school in 1838. He was disullued last year, and the
qualm was whether the trustees had the power of doing so,
as It was contended their appointment woe invalid. The
Lord Chancellor in 1649 ordered a reference to be made to
Use water to report who were fit and proper persons to be
appdated tunnies in the place of fire who had died and
three who bad left the borough. The master accordingly
reported, and the Lord Chancellor confirmed the re-
pert, which set oat the names of the eight per-
sons fit to be eabstituted se trustees. The costs of
the proceedings were ordered to be paid out of the funds of
the shanty, bat there wee no other appointment made by the
Lord Chancellor. It was now submitted that that appsint-
ment was not sufficient—that the removal of the residence of
the three original trustees was no ground of disqualifieatioa,
and that it was not competent for the new trustees to dismiss
the defendant. It was also submitted that the truism
were bound to state the grounds of removal on the record
and they had not done so. The charity came within the
provis4ous of the 9 and 10 Viet., chap. 18. There ought to
be 17 traits's, but of the eight approved of by the Lord
Obemeldier there was nothing to disqualify three, who, not-
eitheleeilag their removal from the borough, could still be
etwelde sad act. If the action was brought only by 14 in-
deed lithe entire number, it would be grounds for nonaait-
id&plaintiffs.
mart were of opinion that au the Lord Chancellor had
Ed ink approved of the persona receaamended by the
nester, list ordered them to pay the colts of their appoint-
ment este the funds of the charity, it wee sufficient and
displased the three trustees referred to. Confirming the
master's report was univalent to appointing the new
trustees instead of the eight others. It would have been,
perhaps, better that a more formal appointment had been
made ; but the ell hew appeared to have been adhered to.
It was not that original trustees should have

delle, bps eppelalet the others, and he had done

of the charity, and it was very right they

for a rule.
