THIS DAY'S NEWS

commissioners would take care no improper question
was put to him.
By Mr. Commissioner Henderson—He pursued a man
from the Serpentine towards the Marble-arch, who was
knocked down by a man running between bim and wit-
ness. He endeavoured to apprehend the man because
he had bees creating a disturbance, and witness being
struck on the back by a stone that came from the direc-
tion where the man was standing. He (lid not strike
the man (who was called Benjamin Bericroft) when
he was on the ground, neither did he see him
struck by any policeman. The man never com-
plained of being struck by the police. He had
his face cut by a stone, and was also struck on the br.ck,
and had his hat knocked off by stones. Stone throwing
was very general at one time. (Witness produced his
hat, which bad a hole in it, near the top.)
Henry Edwards, 434 A, was 26 years of age, and had
been in the service four years. Before that he was in the
Ist Dragoon Guards, which he left owing to ill health.
He corroborated 413 A's statement relative to the ap-
prehension of Bancroft.
Robert Burney, 370 A, was 35 years of age, and had
been in the service upwards of 12 years. Before that
he was a labourer. He had to clear the rails near
the crossing, and did so by knocking on the rails with
his truncheon as a caution. Mr. Mair refused to stand
back. He said, " You fellow, who are you ordering
back. You have no right to order us back." Wit-
ness said he was only obeying orders. Mr. Mair
said, "D— and b your orders, who are
you ?" He went up to him, and Mr. Mair pushed
him back. On going to take him by the collar
he made a thrust at witness in the grain with
his stick. He endeavoured to ward off the blow with
his truncheon, but could not say if in so doing he struck
him. At the station-house Mr. Mair admitted he had
assaulted witness, and that it was not the act of a gen-
tleman, and he was sorry for it.
Cross-examined by Mr. Mitchell—The Superintendent
gave orders that the police were peaceably to request
the people to desist from creating a disturbance
before they took them into custody. He was two
yards from Mr. Mair when he called out to him.
Witness, at the request of his superior officer, sat once
between Mr. Mair and his solicitor, at Vine-street
Station. Mr. Mair, when apprehended, did not appear
to like his grasp—very few people like the grasp of
a policeman. (Laughter.) He told Mr. Mair he " could
see he was a gentleman by his appearance, and that
he would act more cautiously with him than any one
else." Had Sir Richard Mayne acted as Mr. Mair, he
should have taken him into custody.
Mr. Mitchell examined the witness as to Mr. Hard•
wicke, in dismissing the charge against Mr. Mair, ob-
serving there was no imputation on his character ; but
Mr. Chief Commissioner Wortley said he could
scarcely understand how Mr. Mair could have been dis-
charged and Mr. Hardwick° express his opinion there
was no imputation on his character, when it was shown
Mr. Mair was bound in recognisances to keep the peace.
Mr. Mitchell asked the witness how many times he
had been reported for misconduct ? He replied about
seven times ; and at first refused to state what they
were, and appealed to the Commissioners. He ulti-
mately stated them but they were of a trivial character.
Witness only apprehended Mr. Mair. He struck no
one, but he was repeatedly struck by stones thrown at
him.

BIPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.-(THIS DAY.)

The SPEAKER took the chair at twelve o'clock.

The following bllls were read a third time and passed :
Dray's Estate Bill, Earl of Abergavenny's Estate Bill,
Jenkins' Estate Bill.

Mr. WICKHAM presented four petiticns from the
inhabitants of the borough of Bradford, Yorkshire,
praying for the repeal of the Beer Act of latt session
before the expiration of the present one ; also, one from
the shareholders of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Rail-
way against Accidents on Railways Bill.

_
LIMITED LIABILITY BILL.
On the order of the day for going into committee on
the above bill, _

Mr. MUNTZ rose to oppose the further progress
of the bill, characterising it as one of the most
objectionable measures that could possibly be conceived.
Every man of business that he had conversed with on
the bill expressed a similar opinion. If the principle of
this bill was a sound one, why not carry it out ? Instead
of doing that it would effectually prevent poor men
from deriving any benefit from it, and none but capital-
ists would derive any benefit from the measure. He
had read the speech of the right hon. gentleman, the
Vice-President of the Board of Trade (Mr. Bouverie),
who introduced the bill, and a more theoretical piece
of stuff he had never read. (Hear, and a laugh.)
Watt and Arkwright, and other men like them,
had made large fortunes, but it was by their
own energy and ability, and he doubted if they
would have done so had they been subject to
a limited liability. The Vice-President of the
Board of Trade had said it was well known that in the
Italian States the gentry, who were ashamed of taking
an active share in trade, were in the habit of embarking
their money in trading establishments without letting
their names be known, and that such a result might be
expected in this country when this bill became law ;
but he (Mr. Muntz) believed a greater delusion was
never entertained ; for, take the most intelligent and
best-intentioned country gentleman, and let him have an
active part in any trading speculation, and he would
ruin it. (Hear.) He would ask the promoters of the
bill, who had asked for such a measure, ? What portion
of the commercial classes of England, Ireland, or Scot-
land had demanded this measure ? (Hear.) The bill
would be a fruitful source of litigation. He believed it
was a mere lawyers' job. (Hear, hear.) Therefore he
thought if the promoters of the bill could not show better
grounds for it than they had yet shown, they ought at
least give time for more consideration than the bill could
possibly receive at this period of the session. He there-
fore moved that the bill be committed on this day three
months. .

Mr. GLYNN seconded the motion. He entreated
the house to postpone for some time at least so important
a measure, until they should have time to consider an-
other subject intimately connected with it—he meant the
law of bankruptcy. (Hear.)
On the question that the Speaker do leave the chair
being put,
Mr. E. BALL rose to oppose the motion of the hon-
ourable member for Birmingham (Mr. Muntz). He
denied the assertion of the hon. member thatevery com-
mercial man out of doors was against the bill ; every
division that had taken place in this house had shown
by majorities of two to one that the house was in favour
of the principle of the bill, and he believed that the
opinions of commercial men on this subject were fairly
represented by the house. (Hear, hear.) He believed
the bill would be a great boon to the country generally,
and he hoped the Government would persevere in pass-

Mr. Chief Commissioner Wortley—You say you were
punished for " gossiping." What is he punishment ?
Witness—Fined from Is. to is. 6d., according to the
time so occupied (he stated the gossiping sometimes was
with females).
Mr. Ellice proposed to recall Mr. Mair to examine
him in a similar manner to the course pursued: by Mr.
Mitchell with reference, to charges that had been
made against the police, but the commissioners thought
Mr. Ellice should have questioned Mr. Mair, with a
view to show he was a man of violent temper at the time
of his examination. It would be an inconvenient
course to pursue such a line of examination and re-ex•
amination, as that now suggested.
The identification of the policemen was then gone
into.
385 A was called and identified by Mr. John Blan-
ford as the man spoken to by him in his evidence.
;:::429 A and 12 A were both identified by Mr. Robert
Sims.
At the suggestion of Mr. Ellice the commissioner
asked Mr. Sims if he had been in the police force, and
under what circurostanes he left it ? He said he was in
the force from 1848 to 1853, when he was dismissed by
Sir Richard Mayne. The report was that he had been
15 minutes absent from his beat.

re•

ing it.
Mr. W. BROWN said he had had considerable expe-
rience of the working of the limited liability principle
both in France and the United States, and be was con-
vinced that that principle would not be for the advan-
.

tage of this country.
Mr. STRUTT said the question they had now to con-
sider was, whether they ought to introduce the limited
liability principle to the ordinary trades of the country.
(Hear, hear.) Was there any great want of capital in
this country to enable persons to carry on trade ? He
believed the very contrary was the case. Ile believed,
if they passed the bill this session, a very great clamour
would be raised against it, and they would have to re-
peal it after it had done a great deal of mischief. He
recollected in 1825 they had new companies starting for
every conceivable purpose, and tha consequence was the
ruin of a large number of persons; and he believed, if
this bill passed, they would have tie same evils-renewed.
Mr. JOHN MACGREGOR expressed himself strongly
in favour of the bill.
Mr. V. SCULLY also agreed in the principle of the
bill, but believed it could not receive that consideration
which its importance demanded at this advanced period
of the session. He entertained the same opinion on
another bill on the paper—the Partnership Amendment
Bill—which was of equal importance, but to which the
same objection existed—namely, that it could not receive
due consideration at this period of the session,
Lord PALMERSTON entreated the house not to
waste time in discussing whether they ought or ought
not to go into committee on the bill, but to gointo com-
mittee at once when hon. members could discuss the
merits of the bill. (Hear, hear.) Ho himself believed
this was a question of free-trade against monopoly.
(Cheers, and counter cheers.) He did not say this
offensively ; but he was determined the country should
see who it was that wastedthe time of the house by long
speeches, and thus retarded the progress of this impor-
tant measure. (Cheers.)
Mr. SPOONER supported the motion of the hon.
member for Birmingham (Hr. Muntz).

The Parliamentary Committee on this bill reassembled
this morning shortly after one o'clock—Mr. a. Berke-
ley in the chair. There were also present Sr W. Jol-
life, the Hon. C. P. Vilders, Major Baring,
Messrs.
Branrle, O'Brien, Gregson, Cheetbam, Cobbett, Schole-
field, and Massey. The absent members wire Sir W.
Clay, Sir J. Pakington, Ur. Ker Seymer, and Lord H.
Vane.
The room was immediately cleared, and t Commit-
tee proceeded to the consideration of their re ert.
It was understood that a draft report wa
in print,
and would be submittedto the consideration Qf the com-
mittee, recommending the opening of public
houses on
Sundays from one until three o'clock in the afternoon,
and from five until 11 at night.
A second report, in manuscript, it was believed,
would also be introduced in favour, it was said, of the
opening of houses from one o'clock in the day until 11
at night, without intermission.
It seemed to be the general impression that the former
one would, in all likelihood, be adopted ; but the final
decision of the committee cannot, of course, be satisfac-
torily known until the report is presented to the house.
The committee still remained in deliberation when our
report was despatched.

STATE or TRADE.—The month of August, which is
generally accounted in our lace trade the worst business
month in the year, has already anticipated itself ; and
there is little or nothing doing ; nor till about the middle
of September. when a few articles may begin to be made
for the winter, can we expect a resumption of anything
like activity. In hosiery we have nothing particular,
and fortunately no bad feature, to report. As the
months reckon from the 20th to the 20th we are already
entered upon August. The tidings from America con-
tinue favourable to our spring prospects ; and unless the
sudden access of bad weather interferes with those of
the harvest, a good home trade also is hopefully looked
for. Yarns continue firm.—Notts Guardian.
DARING AND EXTENSIVE ROBBERY.--Yesterday morn-
ing a burglary was committed at the house of Mr. Bar-
ringer, an independent gentleman, situate in the Old
Kent-road-place, near the Bricklayers' Arms. The
house was unprotected, Mr. Barringer being on the con-
tinent. A burglary had been attempted at the kitchen
door, a large portion of one of the panels of which had
been cut away. Being foiled, however, in this attempt,
owing to the security of its fastenings, it is believed the
burglars went upon the grass-plot, and having succeeded
in opening a window, an easy entrance followed. Every
box, every drawer, and every p'.ace of security in which
property might be supposed to have been deposited, was
broken open, and a considerable quantity of plate and
other valuables, known to have been possessed by Mr.
Barringer, were all carried away. The extent of the loss
. is no doubt very considerable.
CAMPS OF INSTRUCTION. —lt is in contemplation to
establish camps of instruction on Barham Downs, within
a few miles of Canterbury, and on Penenden Heath,
near Maidstone. It was at Barham Downs that the
Flushing expedition, and a part of the army destined for
Egypt, were encamped previous to embarkation. The
camp here is intended to accommodate about 4,000
troops, cavaly, infantry, and artillery ; and that on
Penenden Heath 3,000.
THE AFRICAN TRAVELLER, DR. BARTEL—Letters
from Malta mention the arrival there of Mr. Giovanni
Battista Gagluffi, her Majesty's consul at Mourzouk,
up to the date of whose departure from Tripoli (in Bar-
bary) on the 22d of June, Dr. Barth, hourly looked for,
had not yet arrived from Bornou, nor had any caravan
come in from the interior, by which tidings of him could
have been conveyed.
TRAGEDY ON BOARD A TURKISH VESSEL.—The barque
which was seen in the Gulf of Lepanto, and which sub-
sequently went to the Roumeliot coast, proves to be a
Turkish vessel. The crew consisted of eight Greeks and
nine Turks. Five of the latter were murdered; theremainder have been taken by the Greek authorities i 1
the Gulf of Lepanto. The vessel is a total reel ti
ag
very small portion of the cargo has been saved, Collo
