used under the provisions of Mr. Pcst.'s Act,
have been placed in several baronies of the counties
of Limerick, Cork, and Kerry. The expense of
these establishments is very considerable, apd ii.
defrayed by the bsrouies witerein they are'severally
stationed by means of ■ species of land tax; but
this force is never employed except at the special
instance of the local Magistrates. At a meeting of
Magistrates and other Gentlemen at Buttevant, in
the county of Cork, on the 15th inst. Adjutant-
General Lord AYLMER submitted to the meeting,
whether they conceived it advisable to require the
assistance of this force, when after some discussion
it was unanimously resolved to decline it. The
Magistrates, in our opinion, toted judiciously in
coming to this resolution, IN' this police force,
which is in Ireland familiarly called •' The Peeleri,"
is so constituted, that it differs ►ery little from the
ordniary military force of the country, and no very
good reason could, in our opinion, he offered for
preferring one species of military %force, which must
be supported at a very heavy expense of the parti-
cular barony, to another ■ad more efficient species
of military force, which is supplied at the general
expense of the empire.

recent proceedings of the Cortes. That legislative
body has decreed, contrary to the unanimous opi-
nion of the Deputies front Pernambuco, that some
of the troops to be sent to Rio Janeiro should be
landed at the former town. The individuals who
were arrested there in July and August, on sus-
picion of being concerned in the attempt upon the
life of the Governor. have arrived at Lisbon, and
• applied to the Cortes to be set at liberty. Their
application, and all the papers eselative to the coin-

JUDGMENT.
THR ATTORNET-GRSIRRAL e. THE SKINNERS'
COMPANY.
The LORD -PIANCRLLOR—" This matter, in
Which the Grammar School at Tunbridge i. 10)
much interested, has been brought befere me
a. an •pireal from the decree of lii• Honour,
the Vice-Chancellor, on an information filed by his
Majesty'a Attorney-General against the Master Ned
Wardens of the Skinners' Company, the trustee, 1.,
the charity. lit the year 1554 Sir Andrew Judd,
an Aldermen of the city of Lawlor), and a mem.
ber of the Skinners' Comp toy. founded the school
fur the educauon of the children of the tuhshitants
of the town of Tuoloidge end its vicinity, in the
county of Kent. The charter wits granted In Sir
A. Judd for founding the school in the reign of the.
7th of Edward VI. endowing it with certain estates
in the parishes of All Saints, Gravehtirch-street,
in the city of Loudon, arid St. Pancras, in Ile
county of Middlerex, and that rout of the estate
in the latter pariah behind the Foundling, which
was called the .gravel hills, is now covered will,
building*, sod has become very valuable; these
estates were conveyed to Sir Andrew Judd aid his
servant, Henry Fisher, although they were Nu-
chased with the•money of the former. Sir A. 3udd
became seised and possessed of the estates, and lie
in his lifetime made certain ordinances for the
regulation of the school, to educate the youth who
were to be brought op in it. He directed
that the schoolmaster was to be Chneen by his trus-
tees, the Skinners' Comliany, and that the usher
of the school was to be chin-en by the master, the
master tip have a salary of 201. per annum, arid the
usher 81. riid the remainder of the SOL to be ap-
plied for the repines of estates. The Skinner.'
Company are mentioned several times in the ordi-
fiancee, but there is Do mention in them of the lola
I before mentioned, as tieing purchased by Sir A.
Judd from Gates and Thorogood, but the sum men-
tioned in the ordinances is the sane ms the amount of
the rents received for the tote, and they took no mi-
nce whatever of Fisher, these ordorances having
been made by Sir A. Judd. The information stated
that he made his Will 011 the 211 of September, in
the year !sale, before the' prosiog of the Act of the
43J or Elizabeth. which will recited that he
