SABBATH•DEFENCF

ITOR OF TIE NORTHERN TIMES

Sir,—The objectors to the present movement for
openingplaceS of popular re-creation on the Lord's
Day make much of its entailing forced labour upon
.numerous employes, who would of necessity be
required to be in attendance• at such places. They
urgd that for those, at any rate, the day of rest
would be destroyed. This seems to be founded
on a mistaken notion of what the necessities of the
case: are. Surely there are few sets .of officials who
could not be brought, of their own free will, to make
some-arrangement
,among thernselveS to take in
turn, each a Sunday, or each a portion of a Sun-
day and while the average burden in itself would
thus be light, the voluntariness of arrangement
would prevent' it in the great majority of cases
being looked:.on as taskwork,ind felt as a burden
at all, but would rather make it be felt, what indeed
most truly it would,be, a blessed .labor ,of love;,
even like unto those indirectly -eon:mended by
Jesus, for it would have ftir its object the pulling.
out from the more dreadful -pit of vice, ignorance,
and brutality, not oxen or -asses, but immortal
human beings.—l am, &a, W.

=4.^-

(BEFORE JOSEPH .FOLLOCR, ESQ., JUDGE.)
FINLEY V.. SEDDON.—His Honor gave jadgmeut in this
case yesterday. The plaintiff was a foreman ship-smith,
and ne claimed from thudefendant, in whose employ he had
been, £1 165., a week's wages of notice upon dig-
it. Qn the part of the plaintiff a number of workmen
,d that it was, the
_custom, of the trade to give a
week's notice Co the foreinan upon dismissal, while, on the
Part of the defendant, a number of employers were examined,
and they denied that any such" custom ever exiSted in:- the-
trade. His Honour said that he had been unable to dis-
cover in the case any evidence of the custom in trade
set up by plaintiff, though he thought it would be desirable
for all parties if such a .custom. existed, and, the verdict
should, therefore, be for the defendant but without costs.

, . INSOLVENCIES.
Henry Tnowas, formerly carrying on business as an
emigration agent in Water street, came up on
,his first
examination. Ile was supported by Mr. Aspinall, and
opposed by Mr.] Simon,' who was instructed by Mr.
Dedge,-. on behalf of ' the detaining creditors,
Messrs: Turner and
.Dannett, printer's, James street.
The insolvent was briefly . examined by Mr. Simon, in
ferenee, to a. bill of sale. of his furniture, -valued at £75,
ich he gave to Mr, Robert Morris,. -his brother-in-law,
,erly coal inerclunt, of .Liverpool, but now of Neston,
.iy before his arrest by the detaining creditors. He
ad that he had givia it in pursuance of a promise to 'cover
n advauce. of £lOO which he had • received 'from Mr.
Morris, and also' £66 balance of an. account. lie was
being pressed on this point when Mr. Aspinall said he
would-set the matter at rest, by stating that Mr. Morris was,
quite willing to give up the furniture, not from any feeling
that the sale was wrong or improper, but for reasons which
he (Mr.' Aspinalt) would: hereafcer state. The insolvent
was, then-asked to account- how it was that by his schedule
he ifeceived £5OO from Mr. Morris cm the 18th :September,
/8* and ou the very same day paid him £330. He was -!
14.40 e-ding to explain that it arose out 'of certain bill
.transactions; but as the case had to ba 'adjourned in conse-
queece of some of the notices not having been received in.
tune, the examination was not pressed. Air. Aspinall applied'
that the insolvent might be admitted to bail.. Mr. Simon
'observed that by :the schedule the..insolvents'dbbts :Were
They were .secured nominally to the extent of
.£4,000,- but' not, wholly so, some. of 'the property haVing
double mortgages on it. llonoilr Ordered the case. to
be adjourned for a fortnight, and the insolvent to be
discharged on finding two sufficient securities in £5OO each.
The detaining creditors—were appointed assignees for the
purPose of receiving thetarnituire from Mr. Morris.
Isaac Mayo; bruShMaker,, came np on his adjourned
exarhinatidu. His debts amounted to £297, and there were
no assets. He was supported by Mr. Conway, instructed
by Mr. Anderson, and opposed by Mr. Aspinall for, Messrs.
T. 11. Hopkins and Sons, Castle-street, creditors for £77
odd, per goods said and deliiered. He formerly carried •on
business-in Loughborough, where his insolvency arose, and
having had dealings with Mr. James Francis Eaton,
general broker, Exchange, he gave that gentleman a warrant
of attorney on a bill of sale, bearing date 3rd August, 1854,
of his stock and goods for £l7O. The bill of sale was for
goods supplied in the way of trade, and in July, 1855, Mr.
Eaton seized the inselvent's stock in execution, and sold it
off, his debt, however, still remaining unsatisfied by £5O.
Noah of the other creditors received anything. Duridg the
'operations of the bill of sale he continued to.trade, but never

- His Honour ruled that the question was a proper
one, and it was accordingly repeated.: Witness I object
to answer it. His Honour : And if you don't answer it I

Will comm t you. (Laughter.) Witness : I have no
objection to answer it in private. His 'Honour : You must
answer it here. We first have Mr. Eaton sweeping all the
insolvent's property away on a bill of sale, and then
immediately afterwards we have the insolvent brought to
Liverpool by you, Mr. Eaton's clerk, and set up in the same
business in which he was before. If ever, then, there was a
transactirm in which it was necessary that the court should
have a full explanation of the circumstances, it is this case.
Mr. Aspinall : What has Mr. Eaton to do with the busi-
ness t Witness : He finds the money for it. Mr..A.spinall :
What is the nature of the business—brushmaking ?,
Witness : No, we simply prepare piasava for the manu-
facture. Mr. Aspinall : And do you not maks brushes t
Witness: We only prepare the piasava ; but, to oblige
some parties, we have made a few brushes. (Laughter.)
Mr. Aspinall : On what terms does Mr. Eaton assist you?
Witness : I have a commission on the profits, and, subject
to that, the balance goes to Mr. Eaton. His Honour said
he did not see why the witness should have been ashamed
of stating Mr. Eaton's connection with the business. His
Honour then said that he did not think he ought to dismiss
the petition, but on the ground of improvident living, and
because the case was one of suspicion, he should postpone
the final order for six months, and would give him protec-
tion for only three months.

r,
LatARGE AGAINST THE AUCTIONEER OF THE COURT.—
After disposing of the above insolvency cases. His Honour
proceeded to investigate a
charge against the auctioneer,
of the court, Mr. Hallam, 'which arose out of the followiag
circumstances :—A, person- of the name of Henry Hen-
wood, a baker, brought an action in the court on the 20th
October last against a Mrs. Jones, a widow, for a debt of
£3 78. lid., and obtained a verdict for that amount with
costs. The defendant was ordered to pay it in instalments,
the first payment to take place on the 12th November, but
_having failed to do so, execution issued in December. A
few days
,afterwards the officer who had charge of the
warrant came with the 'defendant to his shop, and Mrs.
Jones then offered to pay 13 191, down in cath, and the
balance in instalments provided the execution was stayed.
l'he: plaintiff 4polined
,the offer, and ordered the bailiff to
Make his levy'. The officer took the money, £3 19i. from
her, and had a feather-bed removed to make up the balance
of the amount in the warrant. The plaintiff frequently
called at Mr. llallam's office to request that he would'make
a return.to the high bailiff in order that he (the plaintiff)
might be paid the money, but Mr. Hallam delayed to do so
until the month of January, in consequence of which the
plaintiff bad heen kept out of his money until a fortnight
since. Moreover he then received only £3 12s. Id., though, as
he ;Wedged .on the occasion of one of his visits to the
office,, Mr. Hallam offered to buy his plaint note for £4, He
communicated in a' letter all these eircumstancesi .to his
Honour, and, in consequence, the present investigation took_
place to asco:tain what was, the cause of the delay in Mr.
ilallatn's office, also, whether he had offered to buy the
plaint note for £4 ; and also why it was that only £3 12s ld
had been paid on the warrant. Mr. Aspinall, instructed
by Mr. Alniond, appeared for Mr. Hallam. The investiga-
Con lasted a considerable time, and resulted in the acquittal
of 'Mr. Hallam; except on the charge of having delayed the'
return, - This, however, he admitted, but pleaded in
excuse that the bailift's had asked-hipa at the request of the
defendant to delay the sale of the bed, in the hcipe that she
would he able to collect sufficient money to release it. The
bed, which was very small and old, and the feathers of which
by long use bad been reduced almost to powder, realized
only 93 6d, and that sum,, together with the £3 19s he paid
into the high-bailifi's office, where alone the fees were
made out and charged. He admitted, also that when pressed
by the plaintiff to make out his return, he offered to advance
T 4 on the plaint note until he had done so, but positively
ynnied that he had in, any mannerioffered to bay it. Mrs.
t o lian_ ltarris, a respectably dressed lady like woman, deposed

being worth no more,' and Mrs. Jones dePOSed

that she might be able to release it. In the making out of
the fees in the high (An', 70:6d was chargeff for

entitled.tolii 6d as the possession fee, only Charged
7s 6c). With the making out of these charges, however,
Mi. Hallam had nothing- to do. --Hid 'Honour said he
relieved Mr. Hallam from the imputation placed on him iu
the case, but censured him for the delay in making the
return, and also for the offer of an advance on the plaint
note which arose out of it.. As to the possession tee, there
could be no doubt that under the oidar of the secretary of
state the high bailiff, was entitled to it, but still it was so
mOnstrous that he (his Honour) wouldifeelit his duty to
bring it under notice in the proper quarter. The secretary's
order entitled the high bailiff to charge 6d in the pound on
tho amount for which the exechtion issued, not on the
amount' levied, and as he (his Honour) did not think
that that was the -intention -of the legislature,
he would-ice that it was not lost sight of. In conclusion,
he ordered the plaintiff to be repaid the 6s overcharged in
the fees, and informed him that he could bring his action
against the high bailiff for the balance, in consequence of
his officers having failed to levy sufficient to cover the
amount of:the warrant. At the suggestion of his Honour,
Mr. Hallam consented tc pay the plaintiffs for his attendance
at the inquiry.'

THE BALTIC) FLEET.
Sir C.,NAPIER postponed his motion, with regard to

THE BANK CHARTEA ACT,

Mr. H. BAILLIE asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer
whether, in the event of, the Government deciding to re-
new;the Bank Charter Act for another-term of years, he
would be preparea•to:introduce a clause to continue in
forco the • arrangement r y iwhich the Bank of 'England
. .. • .
agreed to pay to these private, banks, who consented to
withdraw their paper circulation, .1 per cent. per annum
upoq the average issue of-those banks in the three previ-
P)US years, and to continue the same so long as the other
private banks are Permitted to issue their paper.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER replied that it
was his intention, if the Bank of England did not object,
to introduce a bill to continue its powers, and which he
thought would meet the other question of the hon. mem-
ber.

THE CRIMEAN COMMISsioN.
In reply to Lord W. GRAHAM,
Mr. PEEL remarked that the Crimean commission had
made two reports ; one relating to the Horse Guards,
which was dated in London, and could not, therefore,
have been presented immediately on the return of the
commission ; the second report related to the commiss-
ariat, and was, therefore, sent up to Lord Panmure, and
to Lord Hardinge. It was completed in the month of
January, and by Lord Panmure 's orders, was immedi-
ately printed and circulated, and if there was any delay
between the production of the two reports, it must have
been inconsiderable.

Colonel NORTH inquired whether the whole of the
report of the committee had been published?
Mr. PEEL (replied that there was no intention of pre-
senting the report in any other form to Parliament.
Mr. ROEBUCK: I beg to say that is no answer to the
hon. and gallant gentleman's question.

EIFOR
Sir C. NAPIER beggedADMIRALTY
to ask theM.
first lord of the
admiralty, if he had any objection to lay upon the table
of the House the whole of the evidence which had been
taken before a committee which lately sat to inquire into
the management of the board of admiralty.
Sir CIIARLDS Wool) replied that the committee
to which the gallant admiral alluded was one of simple
inquiry with respect to the duties, &c., of the clerks
and other persons employed there, and there was cense-
qu.eatly no report to produce. The committee was com-
posed of two of the lords and two secretaries of the
board, and it was merely oue of internal management.
They, saw no occasion whatever calling for a report.

Sir C. NAPIER: I thought how it wls,aaitidsis just
what I want. (Laughter.)

EMPLOYERS AND SERVANTS,

for a select committee to consi-
der Mr. MACKINNON moved'
the inconvenience now felt in the country from the
want of equitable tribunals by whose means any differ-
ence :between the master and the operative might be
satisfactorily adjusted, and also to ascertain whether the
Conseils des Prud'hotnmesZini France had answered the
purpose for which they were established.

- Sir G. GREY said he had no objection to the motion.
provided the committee merely decided with regard to the
adoption of the principles of Conseils des Prud'homnzes,
which considered only existing contracts.
The motion was then agreed to.

COMPILATION OF THE STATUTES

Mr. LOCKE KING moved the following resolution:—
That there be prepared, under the direction of the clerk
of the Parliaments, an edition of the statutes at large, for
the use of this house, including all public general statutes
and parts of statutes in force, and omitting all such sta-
tutes and parts of statutes as are expired, or have been
expressly repealed ; and that, in place of the statutes or
parts of statutes repealed, there be inserted' the titles of
the statutes repealed; the respective numbers and
abstracts of the clauses repealed, with a reference in the
margin to the statutes by which they are repealed.
Mr. EWART seconded the motion, He had soma
doubt
as to the power of Parliament to carry out the resolution
as it at present stood, but nevertheless he agreed with the
hon. member that the reform of the Statute Book would
be a wise undertaking, and he would therefore support
him in the present motion. He alluded to the simplicity
of the French law, observing that any person of average
ability, studying for three years, would make himself
master of it;'and while urging the Government to hasten
the modification of the Laws of England, he despaired 'of
seeing the question satisfactorily settled till a Minister of
Justice was appointed.
, The ATTORNEY-GENERAL hoped that the motion would
bo withdrawn, as it would be impossible to carry it out,
the Clerk of Parliament being an officer of the House of
Lords, and, therefore, not at the command of that House.
He admitted the necessity of expurgation before consoli-
dation, but thought that both steps should be undertaken
by the same persons'.

Sir F. KELLY generally agreed in the observations of
the Attorney-General. In addition to the clerk of the
Parliament not being an officer of the House of Commons
he had no opportunity beyond any other individual who
might have been selected, of gaining the information
necessary for the purpose.
Mr. S. WORTLEY objected to the motion, on the ground
that it was not just that the public should be put to the
expense of an improved pocket edition of the statutes,
which would be no more authentic than the one now in
existence, and which would be no step in law reform.

'Mr. WATSON said the present state of the statute----
was a disgrace to the country, and the first step towards
its amendment was to remove obsolete, expired, and
repealed statutes.

Mr. G. BUTT recommended the withdrawal of the
Genera
Motion,l in consequence of the speech- of the Attorney-
. .
Mr. It. linummouE moved an amendment omitting the
words, " by the clerk of the parliaments," and the words
" for the use of the House,"

M. M. CHAMBERS seconded the amendment.
Mr. L: ICING acceded to the amendment.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL still considered the resolution
objectionable, as nothing was said as
,to what the indi-
vidual appointed should do.
The original resolution was negatived, and a division
then took place upon the resolution, as amended by 11Ir.
R. Phillimore. For the resolution, 63 ; against, 164 ;
majority, 101.

MINIRTERS' MONEY (IRELAND).
Mr. FAGAN moved a resolution to the following effect :
"That this !-louse will immediately resolve itself into a corn-
Act 17 and 18 Vie., chapter 11,
amending the same, so far as re-

to consider th

apects the tax thereby enabled to be levied in
eight corporate towns in Ireland, in lieu and substitution of
ministers' money, in order that the said tax may be abolished."
lie alluded to the statement that tlis tax was a compromise
observing that if that was the case, it was a one-sided com-
promise. The tax was levied unjustly. Some of the large
and populous towns of Ireland being exempted, and the town

councils, composed principally of Roman Catholics, were en
trusted with its collection, They had, however, refused to
collect, and it remained uncollected, except in Dublin, where
the collection was placed in other hands. Ho contended that
there was no.necessity for the tax, and shewed that there was
a large-- surplus in tire hands of —the ecclesiastical

Mr. DUNLOP seconded themotioo
Mr. HORSMAN saic

le object was to ,remove: a tax; there
was no occasion for the House to resolve itself into a committee
t 9 deal with the question. He admitted that the legislation on
yle subject was not in a proper condition, and that it requires
amendments, but he was not prepared at present to say what
objection should be made. He would allow the, honourable
rnemliei to brink in his bill, and the subject could then be
fully discussed.

AlnPlpt was surpritx(l

Lord NAAS observed that if the Government allowed Mr.

The resolution advocated the repeal of the tax, and be
know if the•GOvernment would sanction that object ?
