THE CASE OF MR. FITZJANES.

Mr ROEBUCK wished to put a question to the Secretary
for the Colonies, which would require a few words of ex-
planation to render intelligible. There was some time since
in Sierra Leone a man of colour named Fitzjames, who was
called to the bar by the Middle Temple, and afterwards pro-
ceeded to fill a legal office in that colony. During the ab-
sence of the governor he became acting governor. The
governor on his return showed some hostility towards him,
and took means for getting rid of him. The Colonial-office
lent themselves to that unworthy purpose. Thinking the
man had been ill treated, he had moved for a return of papers
bearing on the case. These papers were circulated and taken
out of the charmed circle of privacy. In the papers there
was a statement relating to two respectable inhabitants in
Sierra Leone, which they considered to be libellous. Pro-
ceedings were taken before a court of law for redress, and
he wished to know whether the right hon. gentleman would
send out the original documents in order that they might
be produced in eviaence at the trial.
Mr CARDWELL said that in the course of the year a
solicitor had applied to him for the papers in this case ; but,
having taken legal advice and found that the document ap-
plied for was a privileged communication, he did not feel it
to be his duty to give up the paper. Ile thought it was
better to leave the case in the hands of the law courts.
CARRIAGE OF TREASURE ON BOARD HER
MAJESTY'S SHIPS.

"ftln reply to a question from Mr H. TRACY on the sub-I'l
ject of the carriage of treasure on board her Majesty's
ships,
Lord C. PAGET said the question of Greenwich Hospi-
tal would be taken into consideration in the forthcoming
autumn, and the Government would be prepared to insert
sorao provision with regard to the freight ct treasure on
board her Majesty's ships which would meet the case re-
ferred to by the hon. member.

OXFORD CIRCUIT.--STAFFORD, July 26.

♦LLEGED MURDER OF A POLICEMAN AT WILLENIIALL.
At the opening of the court yesterday Mr Justice Slice
passed sentence on the four men who, on Saturday, were
found guilty of the manslaughter of the policeman Lyons,
at '\Villenhall, under circumstances already detailed, but
who had been tried for wilful murder—Thomas Leckie'',
who threw the brick-end which gave the fatal blow, to eight
years'—George Lockley, his brother, to six years'--J°llll
Edwards, six years'—and Joshua Stanley, who had been
by the jury recommended to mercy, to five years' penal ser-
vitude. The fifth man, George Skilletts, was acquitted,
and he remains to be tried on the charge of stealing the
policeman's truncheon.

THE HALL END BOILER EXPLOSION.
Thomas Johnson, William Edmund Johnson, and Wea'
Bagnall, alias Bagley, were indicted on the coroner's war'
rant, for having killed Thos. Knowles. Chas. Mellor, Ben'
jamin Carter, and others, at the pariah of West Bromwich,
The grand jury having thrown out the bill against Thos.
Johnson, no evidence was offered against him. The pri-
soner Edmund was the son of Thomas Johnson, and was
manager at the Hall End Ironworks, near West Brom-
wich, belonging to his father. Those works consisted of
forge and rolling mills. William Bagnall was the engineer,
and was entrusted with the manage:nent of the steam
engine, boilers, Tho circumstances connected
with the case was the explosion of one of the largest boilers
situated in the centre of the works at Hall End, and which
occurred on the Ist March last. It blew up and caused the
deaths of 12 of the workmen,

After the examination of witnesses, whose evidence Nva6
mainly a repetition of what was given at the coroner's ill'
quest, the learned Judge summed up, pointing eut to thet
jury that they must carefully weigh the evidence in their
own minds, as what might affect one prisoner would not
necessarily affect the other. Ho then read over the evidence
in chief, and left the case with them.
The jury, who deliberated for a few minutes without
leaving tho box, found a verdict of not guilty for both pri—
soners.

HOUSE OF COMMONS—Last Evening.

The sitting was resumed at six o'clock.
THE MAGISTRACY OF TEWKESBURY.

Mr LYGON gave notice that to-morrow he would call
the attention of the house to the late appointments to the
magistracy at Tewkesbury, and move for correspondence
on the subject.
THE YORKSHIRE RESERVOIRS.

In reply to a question from Mr FERRAND on the sub-
ject of the reservoirs of Yorkshire,
Sir G. GREY said the report of Messrs. Rawlinson and
Beardmore had been printed and circulated, and any mem-
ber could refer to it himself ; but he did not find it in the
statement ascribed to them by the hon. gentleman. They
did not pretend to assign the precise cause of the accident ;
but they thought the manner in which the pipes were laid
might have affected the puddle wall.
Mr FERRAND asked whether it was the intention of
the Government to appoint a commission to consider the
question.
Sir G. GREY did not thing it was necessary to issue a
Royal commission, but that two or three engineers might
be employed to investigate the matter.
Mr FERRAND could assure the right hon. gentleman
that the lives of thousands of persons were in danger by the
present state of those reservoirs, and they were looking
with anxiety to have something done before Parliament was
prorogued.
Sir G. GREY said, if the Government made any change
in the law, it could only have a prospective bearing. If the
lives of thousands of persons were in danger, he would re-
commend the hon. member to put himself in communica-
tion with them, and adopt the measure he had pointed out
the other night, and whioh he believed would be an effec-
tual remedy.
PARTY DEMONSTRATIONS IN IRELAND.

Mr MAGUIRE asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland
whether his attention had been called to recent party de-
monstrations which had taken place in Armagh during the
present month, and whether it was intended to adopt more
stringent measures for their suppression.
Sir R. PEEL said no action could be taken by Govern-
ment in such a case unless information was sworn before a
justice of the peace; but no such proceeding was taken.
Those party demonstrations in Ireland were fast dying out,
and he believed the reports in the newspapers of the recent
demonstrations were somewhat exaggerated. It was not in-
tended to make any change in the Party Emblems Act,
which was fully equal to meet any emergency that might
arise.

'The invasion of Maryland has realised the result
intended by the Confederate Commander-in-Chief.

carrying the wer, so to speak, to the very gates of
the Federal Capital of Washington—contrived
yet once more to replenish his resources at the
expense of the foe. In order to realise the extra-
ordinary importance of the former of these two
aohieveinents—no matter how fleeting it may have

the revtvsal of the situations." Conceive for one

ing the progress of this latest movement of the
Confederates, beyond the Potomac, into Maryland,
towards -Washington, the sound of the Southern
guns could be distinctly heard by Mr LINCOLN
from his Presidential residence at the White Rouse.
Imagine anything like that to have been related as
truthfully just upon the opposite side—to the
effect, namely, that Mr. DAVIS bad heard
the reverberations of the Federal artillery hard
by Richmond ! Yet the events have been precisely

Death of Mr Sergeant Mereivether,

This gentleman, who was for many years town-
e.erk of the corporation of the city of London, died
a few days ago at his resider ce at Castle• field, near
Caine, in Wiltshire, at the advanced age of 84. He
was elected to the office of town clerk on the 23d cf
June, 1842, on the death of Mr Henry Woodthorpe,
the father of the present town clerk, who had held
it for 17 years. On that occasion he stood a contest
with :!sir William Pritchard, the then High Bailiff
of Southwark, and was returned by the Common
Council, in whom the right of appointment vests, by
a majority of 26. The salary was £2,000 a year,
with an official residence, and many incidental enio-
laments besides. At the age of 62 he entered on the
duties of the cffice, relinquishing with that view the
whole of his professional practice, which had become
very lucrative from the extent to which be was re-
tained as counsel before Parliamentary committees.
He was called to the bar on the sth May, 1809, and
was for many years previous to his death a sergeant-
at-law, with a patent of precedence. He was also
Attorney-General to the late Queen Dowager, Doc-
tor of Civil Law, Recorder of Reading, and went the
Western Circuit. He issaid to have owed his appoint.
ment as town clerk to a pamphlet which he wrote in
defence of the alleged right of the corporation of Lon-
don to the foreshore of the Thames, then 11 subject
of protracted litigation with the Crown, and his last
appeararca as an advocate was i:i the Court of
Chancery, where he spoke fora whole day with his
accustomed ability on tl'
".1 side of the corporation.
He was afterwards P;zarained as a witness before the
Royal Commies:ion, of which Lord Taunton (then
Mr Laboi,heee) was chairman, and threw much
light 0"., the constitution. customs, and affairs of the
eer-t,oration, giving his evidence in the spirit of a
conservative, which he always was in politics. On
the 10th of February, 1859, when verging on 80
years of age, Mr Merewether resigned the office of
town clerk on a pension of £l,OOO a year, which
now reverts by his death to the civic purse. He
was a man of fine presence, with much suavity of
manner and a dignified bearing, and it is generally
acknowledged by the civic authorities at Guildhall
that the office was never more worthily sustained
than by him within living memory. Mr Merewe-
ther had a large family, five of whom survive, his
eldest son being Mr Henry Merewether, Q.C., and
Recorder of Devizes. It is a remarkable circum-
I stance that his death was preceded by a few hours
by that of his brother, the Rev. Francis Merewe-
ther, rector of Cole-orton, Leicestershire, at the age
of 80.

SCINDE.

It appears from recent advisee that the chief engineer in
charge of this company's proposed Indus Valley Railway
has reported in favour of an extension of the Scinde Rail-
way from Kotree to Mooltan—and that a bridge across the
Indus at Kotree is perfectly practicable at a cost of little
more than 1200,000. The permanent way on the Punjab
section of the undertaking is being carried on rapidly to
Mooltan, so as to insure the completion and opening of the
Punjab railway for traffic by the end of the present year.
The contract for the earthworks on the Delhi section. at
the Umritsir end, is being proceeded with. It also appears
that a tender has been sanctioned for the works on 58 miles
of the line, from Oharzeeabad, near the Delhi end, and that
extensive arrangements are about being sanctioned for
carrying on the remaining works of this section. A propo-
sition for an extension line from Lahore to Peshawur was
looked upon with much interest in the Punjab.

CONTRACT CORPORATION (LIMITED).

Yesterday the first ordinary meeting was held of this
corporation, established for the negotiation of contracts for
the construction of public works at home and abroad ; Mr
J. Robinson in the chair.
Mr J. C. Handfield. the secretary, having read the
notice convening the meeting, the balance sheet for the
half year ending June 30 was taken as read.
The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the balance-
sheet, said the meeting was rendered necessary in compli-
ance with the articles of association. The directors scarcely
expected to have been able to report so satisfactory a pro-
gress during only the first six months of their establish-
ment. They had however a profit and loss account showing
a highly satisfactory dividend, and they had contract orders
before them far greater than they could possibly undertake.
Determined, however, to act upon principles of prudence,
they had resolved, in view of the present unsettled political
state of Europe, to enter into such an amount of transac I
tions as they felt assured were perfectly safe. The profit Rug
loss for the half-year showed a sum of £12,099, besides
writing off £1,569 for preliminary expenses, and lacing a
sum to the credit of the reserve fund equal to 15 Per cent.
The earnings for the half year would enable thredeltol,sn
de-
clare a dividend of 15 per cent., and to carry
dividend at the
forward
35
The total net profit would represent something eten per
cent. The field for business operations was veryex sive,
and the only difficulty WAS how to make the most Judicious
selection. He concluded by proPasing thatij a
rate of 15 per cent., free of income tax, o declared fur the
past half year. nd congra-
tulated the shareholders on the remunerative results of the
Mr Alderman DARIN seconded the motion a
enterprise. Important business was now under the conside-
ration of the directors which would lead hereafter to more
successful results.
The resolution having been carried unanimous] , £5O
y
each was voted as remuneration to the auditors.
The CHAIRMAN, in reply to a proprietor, said there was
no call in contemplation at present, and after a vote of
thanks to the chairman and directors the meeting separated.

THE CASE OF MR. FITZJAMES.

Mr ROEBUCK wished to put a question to the Secretary
for the Colonies, which would require a few words of ex-
planation to render intelligible. There was some time since
in Sierra Leone a man of colour named Fitzjames, who was
called to the bar by the Middle Temple, and afterwards pro-
ceeded to fill a legal office in that colony. During the ab-
sence of the governor he became acting governor. The
governor on his return showed some hostility towards him,
and took means for getting rid of him. The Colonial-office
lent themselves to that unworthy purpose. Thinking the
man had been ill treated, he had moved for a return of papers
bearing on the case. These papers were circulated and taken
out of the charmed circle of privacy. In the papers there
was a statement relating to two respectable inhabitants in
Sierra Leone, which they considered to be libellous. Pro-
ceedings wore taken before a court of law for redress, and
he wished to know whether the right hon, gentleman would
send out the original documents in order that they might
be produced in eviaence at the trial.
Mr CARDWELL said that in the course of the year a
solicitor had a➢plied to him for the papers in this case ; but,
having taken legal advice and found that the document ap-
plied fur was a privileged communication, he did not feel it
to be his duty to give up the paper. He thought it was
better to leave the case in the hands of the law courts.
CARRIAGE OF TREASURE ON BOARD HER
MAJESTY'S SHIPS.

=ln reply to a question from Mr H. TRACT on the sub-
ject of the carriage of treasure on board her Majesty's

ships,

Lord C. PAGET said the question of Greenwich Hospi-
tal would be taken into consideration in the forthcoming
autumn, and the Government would be prepared to insert
some provision with regard to the freight of treasure on
board her Majesty's ships which would meet the case re-
ferred to by the hon. member.

ROMAN CATHOLIC PAUPER CHILDREN IN

SCOTLAND.

In reply to a question from Mr MONSELL,
Sir G. GREY said no change was proposed in the man-
ner of affording relief to Roman Catholic children, but new
rules were to be made, which would be submitted to the
board for registration, and afterwards to the Secretary of
State for approval.

WINE AND SPIRIT LICENSES.

In reply to a question from Mr J. EIVART,

The ATTORNEY GENERAL said that by the Act of
Parliament absolute discretion was given to the rnagis rates
to judge as to the granting of licenses, It was quite com-
petent for them to take into account the requirements of the
neighbourhood, as well as the suitability of the house and
the character of the applicant.
FLOGGING OF PRISONERS IN GAOLS.

In reply to a question from Mr. HADFIELD,
Sir G. GREY said he had seen a statement in the public
papers of two prisoners having been subjected to corporal
punishment. He Lelieved it was strictly in accordance
with the act passed last session, which required that the
judge should specify the number of lashes, and the instru-
ment with which they were to be inflicted. He did not be-
lieve there had been any departure from the law in this
case; but of course the punishment could not be otherwise
than disagreeable. (A laugh.)
