In the first place, I take it for granted that a
coilviction of the absolute necessity of some kind of
reform exists generally throughetit the kingdom.
It is self-evident that a state rennet be rightly
governed in all its parts, which, possessing the re-
spumes of industry, science, and morality. after a
Peries'of victories, and in the midst of triumph* occa-
sioned by the most complete success, discovers in
(he neva year of the most profound peace ! a deep-
rooted discontent among the working classes. and
an undefined terror among the upper, • dewed of
something terrible about to happen, something to
vd•icts they fear to give a name. To produce such

tilliaw it to spread under the cover of a court plait-
ter, till it eat out every healthful part of the Con-
stitution, and present one diseased and disgusting
inl4•4 of corruption ? Shall we not rather remove
the knife from the hands of the popntacr, and tak-
log advantage of their zeal, make use of them as
coacistants, while we skilfully avert the mischief,

CORK RECORD COURT,
TIICRSDAY, NOVESIBF.R IS.

ROGERS r. CORDON.
Tv,s was an action of trespass, for assault and
ft:!,- imprisonment, brought by the Plaintitl, who
sole. a Major iu the 3d regiment of Font, or the
Putts, against the Defendant, a respectable
weadlen-draper of this city.
It appeared, from the statement of Counsel, and
the testimony of the witnesses examined, that the
Plaintiff, who had *old his majprity some time since,
and with the produce purchased interests in lands,
which necessarily fell with the change in the times.
and was now living on the intereat of his wife's fur.
uue alone. was indebted far upwards of two years,
to the Defendant in sown of 10/. for cloth sold and
Oelivered to him ; that in January last Defendant
sued Plaintiff, at the Sessions held in this city, be-
f:.re theAksistatit Darrister.and recovered the amount
cr his demand, the Plaintiff making no defence;
that Defendant accordingly took out a decree. but
i•: copying it from the book of the Clerk of the
Peace, his attorney, or his clerk, entered the name
ff Idniond, for Ldward, the real name of the
whicii was also entered in the warrant at-
tidied to the decree, and which was signed by the
Sheriff; and that, upon this decree and warrant,
Plaintiff had been committed to the gaol tif this city
on gist May last, where lie still remains. Upon this
misnomer the ground of the present action was
formed, and the damages were laid at 5001. It also
appeared, that on the ,22d August lust. when the
error was first discovered. Plaiutili applied to De-
fendant, by Mr. Greg,'r. jun. son to his attorney,
to liberate him, but thebeferidant refused to com-
ply. saying he had received a letter front Mr.
Daltem, his attorney, which stated he was legally
cot.faiect ; and also on another occasion, when this
same Young gentleman met the Defendant near
She Commercial Building, he matte the like
application to him, chore sing, that the Plaintiff
could not take advantage of the Insolvent Act,
whilst such an error remained on the face or the
wsrtant for I.ii committal; but Defendant still
ver.evered in his refusal, stating, be gave the
right,tinme, Edward. to his attorney. It also
came out, that Plaintiff made an application to
t'.e A ssirtuot Barrister, who was in this city in
October last, anti who held a Special Sessions
Court for the purpose. to be liberated from pri-
*oh on the ground of this misnomer, but was
refused ; and that the same day Defendant's
Counsel also spolied to the Assistant Barrister to
Lave the warrant amended, but did not sue-
t red, as notice was not served on Plaintiff's at-
t.a.rey—so thus the matter stood until the present
action was brought and issue joined.
'The RECORDER stated that if proper application
Was made to him. lie would stop the proceedings in
this case under the equitable power the Court pos-
sessed, until the warrant vies amended.
The RECORDER shortly addressed the Jury. oh-
serving, they could not avoid finding for Plaintiff;
hut that he suffered no hardship. as he was compe-
tect in, or not debarred front, applying to the As-
sistant Barrister under the Insolvent Act.
• The Jury had scarcely retired when they return-
- ed. stating, they could not agree; but the Re-
CORDER said he would never suffer a Jury to treat
to Court in that manner, and ordered them back
again ; when, after a delay of some time, they
earn? into Cowl, and brought in a verdict of—
Thee Farthing damages, Sixpence coots. and were
very sorry they could not find for Delendaut.
