opinion he had most reason ref feel anxious, and
there was no other Court to which he could appeal
to determine on that conduct to which he held him-
self so responsible. In answer to the very hand-
some manors in which the Worthy Aldermen had
spoken of his public services, be could only soy
that those services were more than amply repaid by
the good-o,ill of his countrymen ; but as to the ea.
crificts to which the Worthy Alderman had allotted,
considering also that whatever ill treatment he had
received he had been subjected to on account
of defending the people's rights, he could not
isttribute any merit of suffering to himself, when he
considered the circumsteaces of those who really

was as had not been ventured on by any of the
Governments of this country since the expulsion

lightened electors of Westminster; to witness the
same ardent zeal sod solid determination to recover
the rights of the country, and to obtain that ob-
ject which had been named to them before his
intone had the honour to be meutioned—(s salutary
Reform of the Commons House of Parliament)—
to seinhein steady in their pursuit still ; to be
convinced that there was no falling of in their
zealous toil in that hitherto unprofitable and
yet hopeful vineyard, in which he and they
had so long laboured, gyve bins sturningled plea-
sure and sati,faction. Ho trusted that danger
and difficulty had iu a great measure been dimi-
nished by time. He was happy io beiug able to say
that some who had hitherto stood in opposition to
them were at length couvinced, by the fatal effects
of that system which had alike reached the highest
and the lowest walks of life, and equally afflicted
all, and that those their enemies berth:Awe had at
length determined on lending their aid towards the
attainment of that object, for which he and the
electors of Westminster had so long contended. He
congratulated them on the prospect of seeing the
vainlys shades of opinion preserved un this subject
all mingled in the desire and conviction that some-
thing more might he speedily obtained by the
union of all parties, and their ',solution to adopt
that course %Inch they (the electors of West-

During his absence from the House of Commons,
that great question of Itefortn which had so long
clamed their efforts, had been taken up by a Geo-
tlemau well calculated to do it justice, and by
whom ample justice had !seen done to it. Though
by peculiar and fortunate circuit:milers, the ques-
tion went off in a peculiar way, the subject had
suffered nothing by the support of that Gentleman,
but had been materially sided by his srgutneuts.
He exculpated all parties from any blame or im-
putation of unleir iteeistious ih the accident which
bad dispoaed of the question. He now looked
with confidence to their future ptarpects when he

though it was manifest how little cause or really
there had existed for them. he had no doubt the
House would lend its belief to similar statements
from the same quarters, if they were deemed neces-
sary to the purposes of those who had made them.
In truth, every. free man now understood that the
'thick of the Manchester meeting was the last des-
perate attempt to quiet the claims of Refocus which
were loudly made at the time from one rad of the
country to the other. That assault referred to,
arose out of the struggle its which the people had
been engaged to recover their rights in the consti-
tution of the Commons House of Parliament.
Whoieverefrors the people might have been led into,
either of Ludditisen or any excesses, would have
been borne with, but because they urged their claim
for their representative rights, because ihey attack.

lining had beesidone to them short of declaring their
emsdoct to be high treason. He was periusded that
the people had never entertained ally thing like
views of treason; they had no wish to destroy or
restrain the constitutor'sl power and iweregalives of
the King ; but they knew that if there was to be
II great power at the top, there ought to seriaiii •
Jest weight at the bottom to check it. by tratioyi
lee and uninfluenced the representation of the
paapie.--(Cheesa.)—This was the only treason of
which they had been guilty. This was the system
of politics which alone their enemies knew not how
ea meet. They had not courage as yet to declare it
high treason to demand Reform. They had passed
Bdls to puuisb those who should seek to effect any
elterution in the institutions, whether of Church or
.111tate. as by law established ; but they hod not yet
publicly enacted the penalties of nation for seeking
to obtain Parlismentary Reform. It was quite
plain that they must do so, or their measures would
altogether fail of effect. If the people should rem•
lately keep their view upon that subject, mot suf.
feting it to be deviated from by any inferior'
considerations, they must prevail. Any efforts
to reduce enormous establishments in the gross,
or their separate portions in detail, were
valuable and praiseworthy. But the people ought
still to feel, that there was nothing done while the
great inconserience remained : the predominance
of a few in the Commons House of Parliament,

hum which he was laying. saying that Mn. Tilbury' if he
liked the horse slits • day'etrial, would keep It at thetas
demanded, and if not, lie should return it again at that time.
Mr. Seeley having no suspicion of the correctness of the

hum. ; the Prisoner absconded. soil ram nut heard of until

Mr. Harmer contended the charge amounted to •
felimy, and quoted several eases to support the charge.
The Magistrate was of opinion,. Omagh near it was to a
felony, the charge vraslinly a friar,. inasmuch as the OM-
plaillani parted the possession of the horse.
The Pii.ouer was then committed for the fraud, but in.
formed 11.4 as it was a bailable offence ; he should give Mr.
Harmer 24 homers notice of the hail he intended to produce,

This was a special action for deceit of as extraordinary
nature. The firm count stated that the Plaintiff, Chadors
Cuthbert, being then a bachelor, was, on the 40th of March,
ISM, wrongfully and eloreifully informed by the Defend.
ant, John Browne, of Casale-evert, in the county of the
city of Dublin, that Hannah Darling, the sistrr•in-law of

well knowing to the contrary; ■nd that in order to ite.

presene her as ■ pure and undefiled villa, and that he
thereby did, falsely and deceitfully, cease and procure the
said Charier Cuthbert to marry the said Harrah Darling--

' defendant, John Browne, he, she said Charles Cuthbert, on

ling, in marriage, in Castle-street, in the comity oftise city
of Dublin, and slid then and there marry the said Newish
Darling. The count farther stated, Iliad the said John
I. Browne well knew the said Hannah Darling was not a pure
and undefiled virgin, as he hail represented to the Plain-
tiff, hut that she had been debauched moil defiled by the
said John Browse. 'ffhe count further staled, that the said
Hannah was delivered ~f a child on the sth of October fol-

the said Hannah. and fur medical advice and attendance
during her seeuuchement.
Mr. Brea inns coatewded that the marriage contract dill

of the yeoman, deprive the husband of •ny benefit he gaol
derive from her, or limit any of the privileges she, as • wife,
