country where there a as law officers, he wished to know
by whose authority It was that this velf-cunstiiiiteil, this
iiiikno wit association, c. used %ill' the circular ad-
ders,' to the magistrates. lie thought he bad now dune
quite enough in mentioning this matter once more to stop
the course—to say no worse—the gi Obi impropriety of this
nssociation..None of the least evils of that association was
the circumstance of itt numbering among its Juembers
somewliare about 40 peers of the realm (hear, hearvlicar)
who were thus lending their names to a set of men capable
of using them for these purposes. lie would beg to
know what chance of a fair trial would 4 poor man have,
before a jury taken out of the neighbourhood of sonic
great magi, a member of this association, or who might
ever happen to be part in his tenantiy. The Attorney
General had the power of suppressing the proceedings of
this society by entering a siolk proavui upon all their in-
dictments. _ .

Mr. SCA lILETT, after the speech of his hon. and learned
friend, felt enabled to add but little to his exposition of the
mischievous which might resell from this association, with
however good motives individuals might hove enrolled them-
selves in it. Where the A• turney rieuerut btu, coucerued
the proceeding sass regular; where the party aggrieved pro-
secuted, the defendant knew his prosecutor, In timer cases
on the contrary, in which the cousioutionul nisociatiou iii-
ierered, the prosecutors were ; u 0 literati were
avowed, and some of them might beupoii that very special
jury which should try the offence cluaged se,ainst the ilefeii-
dant.—(Het.r, hear.) —The hon. and learned gent. concluded
by sayingthat teem was no person also had considered the
questiou in is teeal ur consutnimiiiit point of view, who did
'lot concur in eundernuing such an association.
Mr. WARIII cz?cvssed his surprise that this association,
having been pronounced illegal by what he considered the highest
law authority in that house, no member of his Majesty's go-
vernment bad offered a word of exploitation on the subject.
The Marquis of LONDONDERRY observes!, that net very
far buck in the history of the country, when associations had
been formed, and great [mints subscribed to those essuciations,
tor the prosecution of individuals, net indeed her the cold crime
of libel, but oil a charge for murder (cheers from the ministerial
benches), and be considered that the influence of them associa-
tions and of those great names were as much calculated to preju-
dice the minds of the jurors against the ;lodes who might have
been tried, as much as in the case towhith the hon. and learnial
gent. (Mr. Brougham) referred.
Sir J. SEBILIGHT expressed his entire concurrence in the
opinions which had been given by the hon.- and learned gent.
respecting die self called constitutional association-, which has
taken upon itself the task of teaching magistrates their duty.—
Ile for one would dispense with the instruction of such a body,
which he considered as one of the most illegal and unconstitu-
tional which had come to the knowledge of that house.
The SOLICITOIt GENERAL said, that in the absence antis
learnml friend the Attorney General, he ceukl not avoid making
a few observations to the house, and he could not avoid also
expressing his surprise that the association should have been
called illegal. lie difihred wholly from ibis opinion, and would
take it upon himself to say that in that society there was nothing
illegal, or at all contrary to the spirit of the constitution. Were
they to believe that the association of persons tor the prosecution
of übLnces against the law was-o 1 itself a violation of that law ?
De maintained that such an association was nut illegal. Of the
Policy of it he begged to be understood as not giving an opinion.
Lord MILTON said, that it had been stated that there were
some cases of libel which it might nut be proper for the Attorney
General to prosecute and he ; rord Milton) admitted the fact e
but this was one of his objections to the association," that they
would out make such distinctions.
The motion for bringing up the report of the committee cf

Mr. BROGDLN brought up the report s- and on the question

Mr. it ()ME objected to going at that late hour into the report

The Marquis of LONDONDIIRRY said if the object of It

The report was ordered to be considered to morrow.

ILCHESTER GAOL.

SATURDAY, MAY :b.
The charges having been read,atid a few preliminaries
agreed oil, Mr. Hunt called J. Pistilli's, ut Nlatitacitte,
Esq. one of the magistrates of the county, as his first
witness, who stated that he had always considered the
jailer's occurrence book to be a diary of what takes
place in the jail ; the minutes therein of occurrences to
be regularly entered, for the purpose of enabling the
visiting and other magistrates to know what had passed
from time to time in the jail. Witness then proceeded,
"1 have examined this book lately mote than usual, my
attention having been called to it frequently during a
late investigation before the magistrates, and I certainly
have discovered very many interlineations, or rather iii-
tcrpolations, which, in my opinion, on all examination,
speak for themselves. There is an obvious interlineation,
noting the discharge of Ann Denman on the 24th Oct.
the day on which her sentence expired my attention
was called to this in consequence of the woman herself'
having sworn that she was not discharged 1 three
days aftei wards." (Here the witness pointed out a great
many interlineations to the commissioners.) Witness
proceeded, that sometimes he had been a visiting magis-
trate, and if the jailer's occurrence book wore liantLd to
him, he should certainly expect to find the entries regu-
larly entered as the circumstances occurred. lie had
been a visiting magistrate about eight years, during
which time, ulna within six weeks, he hail no idea that
there were any stocks in the jail ; un it had never come
so his knowledge that any prisoners who had misbehaved
themselves were put in irons, handcuffed, or tenanted, or
had blisters applied as punishments; but that the extent
of the punishment amounted only to solitary confine-
ment. He disclaimed even having given such orders
himself, and was not aware that any had ever been made
by his brother magistrates. He hut lately, in the former
investigation, seen the stocks for the women, and also
those far boys, for the first time. (Here the attention of
the witness was called by the governor's solicitor to the
magistrates' journals, which contained an order signed
by himself.) Witneu proceeded—" Here is an order
signed by myself, which I will very readily read. I find
1 made an order, May 18, 1840, to have an unruly boy
confined by the leg, but I had no knowledge whatever at
the time of there being any stocks in the jail. Those
which I have lately seen, called the boy's' stocks, I con-
sider to be very dangerous, and I certainty should not
have ordered boys to be placed therein; and I should
consider a boy put to stand at his work from eight till
one o'clock, awl from two till six, would be a very se-
vere coy realcorporeal punishment"
?,Irs. E.Mrs. E. Davis was the next witness, who deposed, that
was she matiott—that she had a woman under her care,
named Sarah Hewitt, who is the mother of a child born
in the jail ; that she was present when Hewitt signed a
petition to the King, for a pardon, in Mr. Hunt's ward,
•nd who read over the same to her, and explamed the
same previously to her affixing her mark, and in which
petition she had expressly stated that Mr. Bridle, the
governor of the jail, was the rather.
Ihe Court here interposed and wished to have the
fact from Sarah Hewitt herself, as she was still in the
jail ; and she was immediately sent fur. Mr. White, a
solicitor of eminence, stibmitted, en the part of Mr.
Bridle, the jailer, that she was not competeut to be
sworn, inasmuch as she was then a convict tinder sen-
tence of transportation; but the commissioners stated
they were sitting for purposes of inquiry, and that they
had power to examine prisoners on oath. Sarah Hewitt
was called in and examined. She deposed that she had .
been in the jail about 4 years ; that she became preg-
nant in the jail, and that about two year, after she had
been there she was delivered of a female child ; that in
a late investigation before the magistrates she was nut on
her oath, and she had stated the father of the child was
the governor, Mr. Bridle, but that such sigletnent was
*mime ; that she was much agitated at the time she did
SD ; she was sorry for her having made such a mistake;
and she stow declared Mr. George Bridle, the brother at,
the jailer, who was at that time a turnkey, to be the fa-
ther of the chihi. Ott bring questioned whether she had
some private conferences w tit Mr. Bridle, the jailer, in
Mrs. Davis's. the watron's kitchen, during the late in-
vestigation, and alter she had stated her muter, Mr.
Bridle, to be the lather, she replied in the negative.—
Mrs. Davis the matron, was then called in again, and
stated that Mr. Bridle the jailer, and Sarah Hewitt, haul
b iii a private interview in her kitchen, where they re-
mained together about a quarter of an Mow ; that since
the last, and before the present inquiry, she observed a
female prisoner (A. Court) of the same ward as Hewitt,
deliver a parcel into the hands of Al rs. Cox, she sister of
the jailer, as the woman came through the passage no
do jailer's house ; that she, as matron, always had the

that she, at site passed through the jailer's itassaae 111 the
morning, was hiiiiiniing a tune m hir,ell; that at lock-

jailer said " d— heavy sentence;' that in the sum-
mer she is free from the rh,mnatis.n, but not so in win-
ter. The magistrates' journal and the jailer's occurrence
book both stated that she was released front her confine-
ment on the Monday.
BECONIA, DAY, MAY 28.
Richard Pike, the turnkey, was called in and sworn
and examined by Mr. Hunt. Witness stated that; he
had formerly been a turnkey at the debtors' ward, but
was now turnkey at the lodge or entrance into the jail.

LA VALEI'TE,
This gentleman who has long resided at Augs-
burg, set out on his return to France a few days
ago. His history is well known. Mons. Lavalette
was charged with the crime of high treason for re-
sun►ing his functions as Post-Master General hn-
mediately after the departure of the King from
Paris, and &fore Bonaparte had entered Paris and
re-invested him with that appointment. This was
the charge on which he was tried ; but the true
motive of his prosecution was a belief that he had
conducted a correspondence with the island of Elba,
and encouraged the return of his former Sovereign
his benefactor, and relation by marriage. He was
tried, condemned, and ordered for execution. The
subsequent transactions which effected his release a
few hours before the consummation of the sentence,

and secured ultimately his escape from France, are
as well known as they are honourable to England.
Matiame Lavalette, however, became the victim of
her generous devotion ; she had, to rave her husband,
risen from a bed in which she had endured the
affliction of miscarriage. This effort, and the great
anxieties of her mind, followed by long confinement,
impaired her health, atal produced alienation of her
mental faculties. Touched by these misfortunes,
and convinced, no doubt, of the innocence of Mons.
Lavalette, the King, about a year since, signed the
act of grace which cancelled the former proceedings,
and re-established Mons. Lavalette in all his rights
as a French citizen. Previous to his departure from
Ausburg, Monsieur Lavalette considered it to be his
duty to publish a declaration, to the asseverations of
which all those who know the private virtues of
Mons. Lavalette will not hesitate to give implicit
credence. This declaration confirms the belief en-
tertained generally at the time of his trial that the
suspicions alas agency with the Isle of Elba during
Buonaparte's residence there were false.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer plumes himself
upon the statement he has made to the House of
Commons on the state of the finances of the country
—now admitting for the sake •+.- argument (which
we do, while we doubt the fact) that his statements
are not founded in fallacy nor bottomed in fraud, at
what point of Glory have we arrived !—Why, that
by depriving us (all but the blood-sucking reptiles
who exist upon the hard-earnings of an industrious
people) of our luxuries, and almost of our necean-
ries of life, that in the seventh year of profound
peace our War Taxes suffice to support our Govern-
ment, all but a Loan (or call it what the Rt. Hon.
Gent. may please) of 13 millions from the Sinking
Fund !!! The Chancellor of the Exchequer may
counsel us to " Thank God 'tis no worse," but we
know we have to thank him and his Right Hon.
Colleagues that it is so bad—if pensions and places
were not granted for the purposes of corrupt infiu.
ence in an assembly which ought to be incorruptibly
patriotic, then might our Taxes be progressively
decreased, then might the agricultural and manu.
lecturing parts of society see a refuge from despair,
and then might the landholder be enabled to meet
the demands upon him, by the receipt of his rents,
instead of by ruinous mortgages of his estates.
Mr. Brougham has again most laudably called
the attention of the Commons to the formation of
the soi-disant "Constitutional Society"—a Society
founded on principles not only destructive of the
little that remains to us of the liberty of the press,
but in direct opposition to every feeling of fairness,
of honour, of honesty, and contributive only to the
gratification of the worst passions of the worst part
of human nature. The learned gentleman's de-
claration of the illegality of their measures, though
confirmed by Mr. Scarlett (and two better legal au.
thorities could hardly be found) was positively and
impudently contradicted by the Solicitor-General.
The Scottish poet (Burns) when using his favourite
simile on the score of probabilities, " Oh, 'tis gold
to brass," little thought that his expression would
ever receive so perfect a double exemplification us in
this instance—for the weight of opinion :s as much,
comparatively with Messrs. Brougham and Scarlett,
as the comparative assurance of Brass is with the
learned Solicitor-General.

The Congress at Laybach has broken up, and the
Holy Alliance has published an account of their
views and their exploits—which account, if strip-
ped of its sophisms and falsehood, will proclaim to
the world that this tri-une demoniac Alliance has
been formed for the purpose of supporting villany
however consummate (provided always that it be
legitimate and hereditary) against every effort of the
people to regain that kind of liberty which belongs
honestly to every man and to every nation; and
yet these Despots are the same, whose pusilluni-
inoustiess in the presence of the superior genius of
Napoleon Buonaparte would have submitted, and,
indeed, did submit repeatedly, and for a belies of
