LAW INTELLMENCE-(THIS DAY.)

epfmoroeßs....!4-urney, Esq.)
SHERIFF COURT.
(Before
WALKER V. E n THE GREAT EXHIBITION.

The plaintiff in this action is an upholsterer, and
sought to recover the sum of 32/. ss. for price of furniture
during the Exhibition."

Defendant paid 161. odd into Court, and disputed the
remainder, and it was contended on his behalf that the
contract was in writing, but, being unstamped, could
not be received in evidence.

Mr. W. R. Buchanan admitted that he could not pro-
ceed with success on the coitract, but submitted that he
could be allowed to prove the difference between the
amount claimed and that paid into Court on the general
account stated, as defendant had paid monies on account.
His Honour said that whatever had been paid had
evidently been paid under some existing arrangement,
which the plaintiff could not legally prove ; and as the
plaintiff could not show, that it would be impossible to
have a statement of the account, he thought the plain-
tiff ought to congratulate himself on having so much
paid into Court.

Mr. Buchanan said his client did not feel satisfied
but he (Mr. Buchanan) would advise him to take what
he could ; and, where such subterfuges had been resorted
to, to baffle a just claim, to be more cautious in future in
the mode of transacting his business. _ . ,

His Honour gave judgment for the sum paid into Court'
but refused costs to the defendant, as the defence was
founded on technical objections.

BOSTON--Nov. 17.
There was a fair average quantity of wheat on offer to-1

samples supported last week's currency, but all other ts
experienced a slow sale at a slight reduction in price. T

DUBLIN—Nov. 16.
We have no alteration to report in currencies at our c°l.l3a
market to-day. The supply of everything was small, 'loet
being but in middling condition, owing to the continued sv
weather, buyers were not anxious for business.

AN EMPEROR'S BILLS.-It is expected that some
of considerable importance will be presented to the Frteo
Senate by the now Emperor, soon after he shall have •
invested with the purple—or the motley, should that Wi
be judged preferable. The bills will first bo laid befle
Imperial Majesty by certain goldsmith, jewellers, an,t', rto
sage-makers. They will, it is understood, be submit° „r 1
the Senate simply to be discharged ; and the ge,ll+;:p
opinion is, that they will constitute the principal legi,siti„,,,e—
with which that assembly is likely to be troubled.---,rli—

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.—Nov. 18.

(Before Mr. Serjeant Adams, Assistant-Judge, and a
Bench of Magistrates, at the Guildhall, Westminster.)
This was bail-day, but the following was the only case
on the list :

George Dutnell, a lad about 17, surrendered to take
his trial for an indecent assault on a child of eight years
of age.
Mr. Sleigh and Mr. Parry conducted the prosecution,
which was instituted by the Associate Institution for
Enforcing and Improving the Laws for the Protection
of Women, and Mr. Ballantine defended.
The case lasted several hours, and several witnesses
were called for the defence to establish alibi, as it was
argued that the defendant was innocent of the charge,
and that the child had been induced by the threats or
other coercion of the real party to fix the guilt on him
when the offenee was discovered.

The jury returned a verdict of Guilty.
The Assistant-Judge said that such perjury had been
committed by the witnesses for the defence that he
doubted whether they ought not to be indicted for it. It
was impossible for that little child to have invented the
series of falsehoods which were imputed to her. The
offence that the defendant had committed was an aggra-
vated one in itself, but it was grossly aggravated by the
foul and wicked perjury of the defence, and his sentence
might not have been so heavy but for that. He had
wickedly and cruelly abused the unfortunate child, and
then, to screen himself, endeavoured to fix on her a
stigma for life, in imputing to her wicked and deliberate
falsehood. He sentenced him to one year's imprison-
ment, with hard labour.
The mother and sister (as we understood) of the pri-
soner, who were in court, asked permission to see him
iw
before he was taken away to prison.
The Assistant-Judge said, certainly not. He would
allow no one who had concocted this infamous defence
to see him.

CONVOCATION.
' Sir J. V. SHELLY wished to ask the right hon. the
Secretary of State for the Home Department a question
relative to the sitting of Convocation. He understood
the sitting was adjourned until February next, and he
wished to know whether the sitting was to be resumed
or forbidden ? (Hear, hear.)
Mr. WALPOLE was obliged to the hon. gentleman
for having put this question, because he thought a mis-
understanding had taken place with reference to the
powers and conduct of Government as regarded Convo-
cation. (Hear, hear.) Perhaps the house would there-
fore allow him to state that the usual course observed
with reference to Convocation was this : It's sit-
tings could be held accordingly to law until the ad-
dress was commenced without any interference of
the goverment, and government could only interfere
when the Convocation required to continue its sittings
for the purpose of making canons or ordinances. A sit-
ting for that purpose could only take place with the
sanction of the Crown, and no application had yet been
made by the Archbishop of Canterbury for such permis-
sion. (Hear, hear.) From the commencement, it was
never intended on the part of the -government to allow
any deviation from the usual course with refer-
ence to the sitting of Convocation, and they
had strictly and steadily adhered to that determination,
and had taken no part whatever in the matter, nor
could they, indeed, do so, unless the Convocation re-
quired the sanction of the Crown, for pursuing a differ-
ent course to that which had occurred on previous occa-
sions. (Cheers.) In the present instance, the only de-
viation that had occurred was that the address had been
debatrd three days instead of one, and a com-
mittee had been appointed on the subject,
but the Government had nothing whatever to do with that
siatter. (Hear, hear.) The question of prorogation
had not yet arisen, and it could not arise
until the question of the address had been answered, but
he could assure the house, that so long as he had the
power of holding the office of Secretary of State for the
Home Department, nothing should induce him to recom-
mend the Crown to grant its license to Convocation to
make canons. He had never made this declaration until he
was called upon to pronounce it, but he made the declara-
tion now most heartily,because he entertained the strongest
opinion -that nothing could be more detrimental to the
Church of England, and nothinc, was more calculated to
cause schisms in the Church than the revival of Convo-
iion. (Cheers.)

We have buried our dead out of our sight, and
Wellington is sleeping by the side of Nelson. How
unspeakably precious are these two jewels of the
national honour, safe in the sacred keeping of our
renowned. cathedral ! Who will henceforth pass
that hallowed structure without a thrill of fond
pride and enthusiasm ? Where in the wide world
sleep two greater warriors -and both Englishmen !
—who have turned their vast warlike capacities to
nobler purposes, and conferred more extended and
enduring benefits upon society by their skill,
prowess, and patriotism ?
Yesterday we buried our Wellington—that is, all
that was mortal of him. In the sublime accents
which were chanted over his dust—" His body is
buried in peace, but his name liveth evermore."

The Dead Alan's Question has not
by the people, if it has been slurred over by the
Government. Yesterday forenoon a meeting was
convened by the churchwardens of St. Mary
Abbott's, at Kensington, for the purpose of enabling
the rate-payers to determine whether a burial-
ground aheuld be provided for the locality under the
provisions of the Act of 15th and 16:h Vic., cap. 85.
The circumstance is sufficiently illustrative of the
evils of that . miserable system against which
we have so long, and so earnestly, and,
unhappily as yet, so ineffectually inveighed.
Instead of witnessing the commencement of a grand
and comprehensive effort on the part of the supreme
authorities to dissipate the evils complained of during
the last thirteen years by Mr. G. A. WALLER and his
sympathisers, we are perpetually doomed to observe
nowas. in one direction, and now in another, a few oc-
c_iota' and scattered efforts to establish the desired
scheme of extramural interments. Of the inefficiency

nature :

" Humbug, which is in universal use, if not chssitally
admissible into an English dictionary., comes unques•
tionably from Hume of the Beg, a ScO!ch laird (*o.cailed
from his estate), who was celebrated in Edinburgh so-
ciA,y, during the reigns of William and Anne, for the
marvellous tone of his -stories, in which he indulged so
commonly that they became proverbial; and, thus, a
very long shot was always designated, 'a regular Hume
of the Bog.' Hence, by simple contraction, Humbug."
Epitaphs and Elegiac inscriptions are also brought
on the Lapis, and the death .lied jests of celebrated
men. In " Sir Jasper Carew," is one of the truest
sayings on record, viz. :
"No man ever knows when, where, or whom he'll
marry. IL'a all nonsense, planning and speculating
about it. You might as well look oat for a soft spot to
fall in a steeple-chase. You come smash down in the
very middle of your speculations."
