to riot, when the yeomanry made a formidable and
teell•timed attack upon an almost unopposing enemy
—an enemy that might well be compared to Sir
John Falstaff's corps, with scarcely a shirt or
weapon amongst them : after discharging a
few collies of missiles, they retreated, and left
the field to the galliat chargers. —ln the even-
ing they, as usual, assembled in a tenfold num-
ber, and apparently peaceably disposed ; but the
eomanry were again anxious to distinguish them-
selves, and having received reinforcements, they
renewed the attack, on which the Reformists drew
themselves into line, and made a very formidable
stand.
Things were not now of that comic appearance
as in the former case, many of the Reformers has-.
ing procured fire-arm% °there sticks and stones, to
enable them, if possible, to rind the *aggressors. •
serious struggle snot ensued, its which, it is stated,
three special conAtoldes were carried off in an hope-
less state, and many on both sides very Iwtion%ly in-
jured. At this c•i-is personal safety became a ne-
censary consicleration. owl all who had nut an active
part in the idfloy. fled in every direction. It was re-
ported that several pieces of artillery were brought
on the ground, i,, which the Reformi‘ts fled. The
lofiruntry is ciii•h the wounded, and the

the French ports to commence the bedding of large

conspiracy at Cadiz as being extremely for 000 i t lable.

actively imp:tett in invesaigating this subject ; and
it is from the seizures and discoveries they have al-

of the convpiracy now stated have been collected.

The Lome C 11.% NLLI.LOR came into Court at
nine o'clock, nod delivered ail elaborate judginent
its this case. Ile oh.ervt,l, HIM it cone
hefiare him on Ose pelition of Joseph Lyon mid
Shebt l.coit, his demgltter, Jew iiitialtitaide of the
town or Bedford. and tr• elders of the Jewi*li sy-
nagogue in Loudon, lira) tog. that II might lie de-
eared that the poor iithabitants of the tow Is of 13.11-
ford, whether Christians or Jews, were esititleil to
assoteke of he benefit, of Use charity, and that the
petitioner Sheba sieaull be allowed to draw lots for
ass •pitrentiee fee. Wh-ti the petition woes pre-
settled a difficulty arose, whether it could lee sus-
tained ler Sir Samuel It Ity's Act, or under the
Act regulatong the Beilkril Comity, without there
was some miriooduct on the part of the trustees.
Another difficulty arose. that if the Jew iiiliabt-
tams of the too. of Bedford were entitled to the
benefit of the charity, hour the elders of thy 118,3-
gogue in Loudon could ask for retires.. It was
very difficult to know by what right they claimed
as a kind of corporrte body, which this Court 'sever
could acknowledge or hewn to; he, therefore,
thought it rseitt that the trustees should present a
petition. The foundation of the charity was by the
charter of Edward VI. fur the looming of a
grammar school. An Act of Pailtioneot was
enacted mi the 13th of April, 1664. which recited
the letters patrol, Hoil gave the ousters a school
house built his Sir Win. Harper, suit certain lauds
bequeathed by that gentleman fur the marriage
portions of the poor maids of the toast of Bedford.
and for apprentice tars of poor clitidren burn in the
town, end vested them in the Ms)or mod Com-
monality of the town of Bedford for the
bring' His Lordship tern went into the history of
the case. which we hive already reported; and also
took a review of the several Acts of Parliament,
and the decreer that had been made in that Court,
relative to the charity. The mister of the winnow
school was to be a fellow of the New College at Ox-
ford, or a,elergymais. to Ise appoilited by the War..
dens and Fellows of Oxford College, and liable to be
removed by them ; and that the Warden and Fel-
lows should stud two visitants to the school, on the
first day of every month of May, to examine into
the progress id the children's, education, rod the
conduct of the master, and that the visitants were
to appoint three buys to go to the thaversity each
year, and the trustees to allow them 401. per annum
for their support. It appeared that until about
thirty years ago there was no application of the
charity foods to the children of Jews. Much had
been said at the bar on the subject of religious
toleration; all that he would say on it WON that he
had only to look to the chatter of Eduard VI.
whether it contemplated Jews as objects to partake
of the cluir.ty. But, as a Judge, lie was bound to
recollect that Christ trolly was part of the law of the
land, He could hint nothing that would entitle
him to say that the visitants had not the authority
to make regulations for the school. Then, even if
the Act of Parliament did out shut out Jew boys,
they would have the right to exclude them from
the benefits of the echool. When Edward VI.
founded the school, he ',ever could have contents
plated the education of Jews. How was it possible
that in a school, part Christians sod part Jews.
that educat should go ou ? Therefore he hod uo
doubt but that Jew boys were not entitled to the
benefits of the grammar school.—As to the next
question, whether poor Jew girls were entitled to
draw lots for apprentice fees. if Jew boys could not
partake of the benefit* of the grammar school, was
it for hint to say that others, who were out Chris-
liana were to partake of the charity ? He could not
forget that the Candidate' to draw lots moat send
in their Christian and summer. 11 had brew said
at the Bar that Cll6'll6B'l name meant fist tirine,
and that if that was not the meaning the children
of Anabaptists would he excluded ; but Asia-
baptists were Christiana, NllllOllOl they slid nut
brpuse their children as soon as we did. The con-
clusion he had come to, after giving the case his
consideration, war, that the children of Jews
were not entitled to partake of the benefits of the
charity. But as the petition of the trustees was
piesented slier the arguniesit, lie would give au
opportunity of its being reargued, if the parties
thought proper.
IN THE HATTER OT WIC SPENCER NAUGHTON,
A BANKRUPT,
Mr. HoRNE Iwgged leave to mention the peti-
tion in this case, or it related to the liberty of a
subject. The bankrupt had surrendered to the
commission, sod had passed his examinations be-
fore the Commissioners ; a creditor proved a debt
under the commissiou, and alterwrrila arrested the
bankrupt, which certainly was illegal. The pot-
lion therefore prayed that his Lordship would.th-
reel the bankrupt to be discharged from the cus-
tody of the Sheriff.
The LORD CHANCELLOR—" Have you given no-
tice of this motion ?"
Mr. HoatiE said, be believed notice had not been
given, and lie perceived there was an irregularity in
the proceedings, as the tiffidavit in support of the
petition was memo at Lancaster before the petition
was presented.
The LORD CHANCELLOR—" Re-swear the affi-
davit, and give the parties notice for Wednesday."
The ATTORNET.GENNRAL requested leave to
mention an order that was made by his Honour the
Vice-Chancellor that wanted correction.
