DOMESTIC TREACHERY.

Peregrine CA; Onoie man of

was diarg.d on two indictments, with stealiog a
large gosanisiy of linen, winr, a gold watch, and
many other :uncles, the property of James Harris,
Esq. in Ina dsvelling-house at Barnet, its this
comity.
It appeared from the opening of Mr. CoLLANID,
the substaitce of which was afterwards proved in
evidence, that the Prisoner had been brought from
the setileineut of Tr • lid by a widow lady, with
whotu his mother arid other relittimis lived as favour-
ed servants. Deing desirous of leaving her employ-
ment, she rreoinuiroded him in very favourable
terms to thr proreentor. Soon after coining into Ins
new service. ill health obliged Mr. Hurts to retire
iron Stiff .Ik, and the Prisoner from that period com-
menced his deprrilaiiosis. These be had carried to
a very great event, making Isis hate mistress a
preseist of a gold watch, wine, and other thing%
which he had purloined from his master. At length,
to conceal his guilt, as he thought, in the most cf.
factual manner, he wrote a letter to hit muster,
stating very esrcuoustatitailly, thnt the house had
been broken open in the night ; that he had been
*lightly wounded ion conflict with the robbers, who,
at length, had effected their escape, offer plun-
dering the house of a great many valuables. To give
more effect to Ms deception, lie went, at the saute
time that he wrote his letter, and laid an informa-
tion sit llow-creet. Taunton. the officer, repaired to
the spot, and to the great mortification of *• poor
Peregrine," discovered that the house had tievtr
been broken frosts without, but that all the injury
had been dune Irons withiu. Pursuing the metro-
Kano, to which thus cirrsionstance set veil as a clue,
the active and iugeitious officer soon discovered
where the false private lied concealed mine of the
property; stud, by a letter, whirls lie had revrived
from a youtig lady, which was in the Prisoner's pos-
session, discovered where he had deposited is urea

where the Land Tax had been redeemed.

Mr. G. BANKES deprecated the passing of an
Act so important without due deliberation.
General THORNTON hoped the clause would be
withdrawn by the Honourable Nleniber.
The SPEAKER begged the House to observe,
that as the business now stood they could not enter
into the consideration of the propriety of leaving
out the clause altogether, or even altering the
numbers to be polled on each day, that having al-
ready been decided upon. Such a motion might
be discussed in a future stage of the Bill, but not
in the present stage.
Sir W. BURROUGHS said he should feel it • duty
imposed an him, under the circumstances, to move
the House be counted.

Dr. Put Lustoae denounced such a proceeding
as very unbecoming on the part of the Honourable
and Learned Gentleman. The Bill had already
been amply discussed.
Mr. WYNN consented to the Bill being re-com-
committed to-morrow, and read the third time on
Friday—and to-morrow should propose, that its that
clause empowering the Returning Officer to sus-
pend the poll during " riots or disturbances," the
words " outrageous riots or disturbances, necessarily
creating interruption in the poll," should be sub-
stituted for the words " riots or disturbances."

Mr. HART DAVIS approved of the Bill, and
hoped its application would have a salutary effect
in regulating elections.
The clause oljecteil to was then withdrawn, and
the Bill ordered to be taken into recomideratiou to-
morrow.

The other Orders of the Day were then read, and
the House adjourned.
