THE HISTORY OF SCOTLAND.
By Sir W. SCOTT.

reality assumes when treated by the pencil of genius. In no
work with which we are acquainted is the progress of manners
painted with more historic fidelity, or with half so much vivid-
ness of colouring."—Gentleman's Magazine.

" University Education." " The great resorts and seats of
learning often outlive in this way the intentions of founders, as
the world outgrows them. Our Universities are, in a great
measure, become cisterns to hold, not conduits, to disperse,
knowledge. The age has the start of them, that is, other
sources of knowledge have been opened since their formation, to
which the world have had access, and have drank plentifully at
these living fountains, from which they are debarred by the
tenor of their Charter, and as a matter of dignity and privilege.
All that has been invented or thought in the last two hundred
years they take no cognizance of, or as little as possible, they
are above it, they stand upon the ancient land-marks, and will
not budge, whatever was not known when they were endowed, they
are still in profound and lofty ignorance of."--tlazlitt's Table
Talk: also, the Examiner, Jan. 20, 1828.
" Let the Noble Viscount persevere in the course—i. e., re-
sisting the demands of, and braving the direction of Radicals—.
which he had resolved upon taking, and then let him trust to
the good sense of the people of this country for support.'
Such were the words in which the Duke of Wellington ex-
pressed his confidence in the sincerity of Lord Melbourne."—
The Times, July 1, 1839.
" It was said by the Noble Duke (Wellington) that those
opinions were contrary to the opinions held by the University
of Oxford. He ( Viscount Melbourne) had great respect for
that University, but he could not admit that the University of
Oxford was to be infallible in these matters. On the contrary,
it was well known that the opinions of the Reformers who
brought about the Reformation in the Church were entirely
opposed to the University of Oxford. It was well known, that
if the opinions of that University had been adhered to, the
Protestant religion would never liave been established. The
opinions of Locke were opposed to those of the University; and
if their opinions only were to be consulted, everything liberal,
noble, and ingenuous in our institutions would never have been
established."---Viscount Melbourne's Speech in the
_House of
Lords, on the debate on the Esrl of Radnor's motion respecting
the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge.—The Morning
Herald, Friday, Dec. 22, 1837.
" We observe in a pamphlet, ' Anti-Deist,' published by
Mr. Bellamy, that Exodus, c. iii, v. 22, is a gross mistransla-
tion. He notices a number of other errors in the translation
of the Bible now in use, equally hostile to the true meaning of
the writers. It is not a little curious, that many of these mis-
translated passages, which give meanings in direct opposition to
the real ones, have been as stoutly defended by eminent theo-
logians as any in the whole took, and long commentaries have
been written upon them, expressly to show their beauty and
propriety."—The Examiner, Dec. 24, 1821.
" Mr. Bellamy, in a very conclusive performance, the Anti-
Deist, does not attempt to parry the weapon, so much as to
disarm the hand that wields it ; for he does not explain away
the objections that have been advanced by the Deist, but he
labours rather to extirpate them, and to show that they have no
other root but misconception or mistake. Should this author's
emendations turn out correct, they should be adopted, as no
time and no authority can consecrate error. Mr. Bellamy has
met with patronage in the very highest quarter—a patronage
liberal in every sense of the word; and as honourable to the
patron as the author."
" His alterations, I admit, are extremely numerous, im-
portant, and consequential, but they are supported by a mass of
erudition, authority, and argument, that does indeed demand
our most serious attention, and many in common with myself,
will lament that they have drank more freely at the stream,
than at the fountain."
" We hail the march of intellect, because we know—that a
reason that is cultivated, is the best support of a worship that
is pure. It is for thos. who thrive by the darkness to hurl
their anethemas against the diffusion of light; but wisdom, like
a pure and bright conductor, can render harmless the brutum
fulmen' of the Vatican."--Lacon, C. C. Colton.
" I may therefore conclude, that upon this revision of the
Hebrew Scriptures, great stress ought to be laid, as anticipat-
ing a closer approximation in sentiment among all denomina-
tions of Christians now at variance with each other, upon cer-
tain disputed points of doctrine—under this impression, I think
all must subscribe to its importance."—Chester Chronicle, Feb.
20, 1824
" We may be sure that sufficient care has been taken that
the Holy Scriptures should contain nothing unsuitable to the
character or dignity of God, and that God should say nothing
of himself which should derogate from his own Majesty."—
Milton's Posthumous Treatise.
" Mr. Carlisle then read the names of several of the sub-
scribers, beginning with the Prince Regent, who at first sub-
scribed only for five copies; but, pleased with the specimens of
the translations forwarded to him by the gentleman in ques-
tion, had increased that number to fifty. This anecdote he
had from Mr. Bellamy himself, who was intimately acquainted
with Dr. Clarke, the Prince's librarian. Here Mr. Carlisle
iterated his argument, arisiag from the discrepancy of the two
translations, and the consequent fallibility, at least, of one
version."

view, No. 53.
New Trans!ation :—" A tenth thou shalt tenth, of all the
increase of my seed." Note---Ookelos, the most eminent of
all the learned Rabbis, who lived before the dispersion of the
Hebrews, and consequently made the translation of the Sacred
Volume into Chaldee at that period when the Hebrew was a
national language, he thus translates the clause--gnasaara
tignsarah, " a tenth thou shalt tenth," which is the same as
the Hebrew. The Septuagint a.EY.2.7O•Ia7r6OEXCX.MO-F1 (both
Alexandrine and Vatican) " a tenth thou shalt tenth." The
learned Selden, Le Clerc, and other great authorities on
tithes, say—" It is not likely that the Levites should have had
a tenth of the whole produce of the land, because the number
of the tribe of Levi, compared with the numbers of the other
tribes, was so trifling. Neither could it be of all the produce
of the land, but of the increase of the seed; as it is truly said
in the common version : for the increase must necessarily have
been that part of the produce after the seed employed to give
the increase, had been returned to the grower out of the gross
produce ; otherwise it could not have been said it was the " in-
crease of the seed," .

" When the harvest had beene ended, and all gathered, then
the husbandman laid aside his great themma, otherwise called
the first fruits of his threshing floore, of which it hath beene
spoken in chapter on first fruits ; which, though it were one
of ten, in respect of that portion which the Levites received,
yet it was but one of a hundred in respect of the husbandman's
stocke, who payed the Levites; the Levites payed a tenth por-
tion unto the Priests ; this they termed Magnasher
magnasher, the tithe of the tithes, Neh. x. 38. The Pharises
would pay a tenth, Matt. xxiii. 23 ; and hence it is that they
boasted, They gave tithes of all that they possessed, Luke
xviii. 12."—Civil and Ecclesiastical Rites, used by the ancient
Hebrews. Dedicated to the Earl of Pembroke, Chancellor of
the University of Oxford. By Thomas Godwyn, 8,D,, 1634.
" Add to this, that by the tenth part of the lands must ne-
cessarily be meant the tenth part of the profits ; which must
be owned to be a very forced interpretation, especially in a
primordial act such as this."—Page 111, Rapin's History of
England. See The Sun, Nos. 14,628—.14,662. .
"No mention, Bishop Barlow observes, is made of tithes
in the grand codes of canons, ending in the year of our Lord
457, (which, next to the Bible, he considers as the most au-
thentic book in the world). airing all that period, there-
fore, both the clergy and Church appear to have been sup-
ported by the free gifts and other oblations of the pious."—See
Selden on Tithes, and Barb. Rem. 169.
" Tithes, from the Saxon word Teoda, which signifies the
tenth part of a thing, may be defined to be the tenth part of
the increase yearly, arising and renewing from the profits of
land, the stock upon lands, and the perSonal industry of the in-
habitants.-2 Black. Com. 24.
The King, Henry the Fourth, representing to the Parlia-
ment his great want of an extraordinary aid, the Commons
went in a body and addressed him, That without burdening
his people he might supply his occasions by seizing the revenues
of the clergy.' The Archbishop of Canterbury resisted—the
Commons brought in a Bill to seize the clergy's revenues—
the solicitations of the Archbishop were so prevalent with the
Lords, that they threw out the Bill, so the Commons were
forced to find other means to supply the king's occasions ; the
clergy granted a tenth and a half."—Page 495.
" The Commons, willing to comply with the King's
( Henry V.) demand of a subsidy, presented an address, praying
him to seize the clergy's revenues. The clergy perceiving
their ruin inevitable, came to the resolution to, resign a part of
their riches to the King in order to save the rest."—Page 509,
Rapin's History of England.
" It has been presumptuous," so we read in the pithy Exam-
iner, No. 780, "to dabble in chemistry; to look through a te-
lescope ;to innoculate for the small-pox ;to abate the virulence
of a pestilential disorder by the salutary assistance of a cow ;
lastly, and we trust the argument will be deemed conclusive—
to read the Bible. And in what has all this presumption gene-
rally consisted? In the anxiety of some men to know more
than it was convenient for other men they should know. The
moment the daring inquirer discovered a truth—a truth !—whieh
threatened to militate against a profitable system of error, then
the awful secrets' were invaded—the ark of the sanctuary'
disturbed. Any Barabbas of the day was milk-white compared
with the daring offender : in a word, ' away with him.' Could
great men thunder,' says Shakspeare, there would be nothing
but thunder.' Could they make a thirst for knowledge sinful
and presumptuous, there would be a most inconvenient multipli-
cation of awful secrets.' "
Having now emerged from the honourable estimation in the
community, we take leave to mention a few whose great names
gave permanency to the system.

Reasons in favour of a New Translation of the Holy Scrip-
tures. By Sir James Bland Burgess, Bart. 1819.
" The matter is highly deserving of attention. It is a
question of no less magnitude than the choice between a blind
adhesion to error, and a pure and perfect knowledge of the re-
vealed law of God. Which of these is preferable—which of
them is it no less the interest than it is the duty of every rea-
sonable being to adopt—cannot admit of a doubt. In such a
case let us not be alarmed by any vain fear of temporary in-
convenience, which ought not for a moment to weigh against
the permanent and incalculable advantages attendant on such
a measure. Let us, on the other hand, entertain a lively, and,
I trust, a well-founded hope, that those who govern our Church
and State, may be pleased to take the matter into consi-
deration, and direct an immediate revision of our Received
Version, or, what might perhaps be more recommendable, a
New Translation of the Original Test."—Extracts.
A Reply to the Rev. Mr. Todd's Vindication of our Trans-
lation and Translators of the Bible. By Sir James Bland
Burgess, 1820.
" I certainly, therefore, should have considered them as alto-
gether undeserving of a reply, had they not been employed as
a vehicle of much illiberal personality, to which the writer has
affected to give an additional weight, by ostentatiously an-
nouncing himself in his title-page, as keeper of the Arch-
bishop of Canterbury's Records,' and by dating his preface from
The Library, Lambeth Palace.' "

" Resting on this evidence, I leave this charge, and with it

tion and translators, than which a more meagre, crude, and

" The charge of Socinianisra is a mere stale hacknied trick
of miserable controversialists, when they are reduced to the
paltry shift of calling names, in the hope of thereby escaping
from the effect of arguments, which they are incapable of an-
swering. Does not he know that it was employed against Le
Clem? Did be never bear of a similar charge made against our
immortal Locke ? If such artifices were used against men of
their exalted characters, I can have no pretension to expect a
more liberal treatment."

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

BANKRUPTCY COURT, SEPT. 5.
IN THE MATTER OF WILLIAMS.

The case of this bankrupt, the keeper of the noted
" eating house" at the Old Bailey, has been frequently be-
fore the Court, and many private and public examinations
have been held in order to investigate his affairs, but with
no satisfactory result.

This was the day appointed for the bankrupt passing his
last examination, previous to which several debts were
proved; and from the returns contained in the balance
sheet it appeared that his debts contracted in a very short
time amounted to upwards of 6,3501., and his assets next
to nothing.
The returns having been examined by the Court,
Mr. Commissioner HOLROYD said, this is such an extra-
ordinary return upon the face of it that I wonder how any
person can ask me to pass it ; it is really quite " too bad."
The Bankrupt—Why, sir, I never kept any books, as I
did not think the nature of ray business made it necessary
for me to have any ; and I have only been able to make a
guess at the state of my affairs from recollection, and a few
memorandums.

His HONOUR-Here I find you owe the enormous sum
now (and I speak not at all of your former bankruptcy) of
6,3521. odd shillings, and that all the credits you have to
show against that sum is some 50/. of bad debts. This is
too monstrous a case to be lightly passed over ; and, with-
out further explanation, the case must be at once disposed of.
The Bankrupt—l regret much, your Honour, that the
assets should be so little, but the state of my affairs has
arisen from the precarious nature of my different specula-
tions, and my losses at different fairs throughout the king-
dom.

Mr. Commissioner HOLROYD—The Court is always glad
when a bankrupt's assignees are satisfied; but the Court
has also to take care that the interest of other creditors
are protected, and that the public at large should be satis-
fied. It it only when a bankrupt has fairly rendered his
accounts, and passed a satisfactory examination, thatbe can
obtain the benefit intended for honest though unfortunate
traders under the merciful provisions of the Bankrupt Act.
But here, you offer no voucher of any description—you
render no books—you give no information, in fact, as to
the real state of your affairs; and, as such, I think you
are not fit to be sent again into the world with the charac-
ter of a fair trader.

Mr. Commissioner HOLROYD —I adjourn the final exa-
mination sine die.

The Bankrupt—l think, Sir, in fairness to myself, I
should state that my assets, exclusive of the bad debts,
realised upwards of 1001. by the sale of my furniture and
other effects. It certainly is a small sum, and I regret it
is so; but it was not in my power to have it otherwise.
Mr. Commissioner HOLROYD—Why, the 1001. you
speak of is in the bands of a few creditors, and there is
literally not one farthing to be paid is liquidation of
G,OOO/. This is such a case, in fine, as has not often come
before the Court, and when it does, must be spoken of in
language which neither the bankrupt nor the public can by
any possibility mistake.
Mr. Commissioner HOLROYD—The case should not have
come here at all, and must now stand adjourned sine die.

The Bankrupt—Perhaps, Fir, when you consider the
numberless arrests to which I may be liable, in the event
of your finally adjudicating to adjourn my final examina-
tion sine die, you will grant me a " protection" for a
fortnight, during which time I may be able to obtain such
information as may prove more satisfactory to the court.
Mr. Commissioner HOLROYD—In the hope that you
will realise that promise I will sign your protection for a
fortnight.
The bankrupt then left the Court.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, SEPT. 6.
Mr. Commissioner Boyars heard a number of mo-
tions on Wednesday, and the Court on its rising ad-
journed until Friday, the 13th instant, on which day and
on Wednesday, the 18th, bail cases will be taken. The
sittings of the Court for the hearing of cases will be re
sumed on Monday, the 23d of September, and continued
until the 9th of October; a recess until the Ist November
will then take place, but it is understood that the Court
mill bear bail cases in the intermediate period.

IN RE ROSANNA RATES.

Mr. Coomt moved for the appointment of an assignee in
this matter, under singular circumstances. The insolvent
was discharged under the Act some time ago, and there was
some property arising out of a friendly suit in chancery.
The applicant, William Bates, was the son of the insol-
vent, and came recommended by two sons-in-law.
There were some lawyers in the schedule, and
Mr. Commissioner LAW remarked that they could take
care of themselves ; he ordered notice to be given to a
tailor, who was a sufferer.
Mr. CooKE read an affidavit of a tailor's clerk as to an
interview he had with the creditor, and his consent to
waive any right.
Mr. Commissioner BOWEN refused to receive the affi-
davit, and the matter was again adjourned.

" Some may say, . Let us introduce no change, for we cannot
tell what further changes may be required of u4.'—Had this
been listened to, neither the Reformation nor the Revolution
could have taken place, and we should have been still subject to
Romish superstition, and to despotic rower."
" On the side of those who advocate the necessity of a New
Translation rests the whole weight of facts and arguments. Let
not these be counteracted by less worthy considerations ; let us
not leave to the enemies of Christianity the only weapons by
which it can be assailed ; but let us cordially and sincerely
unite with the learned and pious prelate Archbishop New-
combe, in the prayer with which h e concludes his preface.
' May the all-wise God, in His fit time, dispose the Sovereign
of the first Protestant Churches, and of the most learned
countries in the world, to complete his true acts of piety, by
promoting equal attention to the English Bible !' "—Extracts.

ANOTHER " TRIAL"-LIN RE HENRY UNWIN.

This insolvent, confined in Whitecroas-street Prison,
mode a " fifth" application for an allowance from his de-
taining creditors. He was beard some time ago, and on
the opposition of several creditors was remanded for twelve
calendar months. He set forth in his affidavit that he was
in great poverty, and living on the county allowance. He
had no situation in the prison, and bad a mother and sister
depending on him for support ; the present was his " fifth"
application.
Mr. Commissioner Bowax said before ha granted a role
the affidavit must be amended as to the residences of his
mother and sister.—The matter stood over.
POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION-HOUSE.
A few days ago, Mr. Baylis the Clerk to the Board
of Guardians of the East London Unico, applied to the
LORD MAYOR, tO pass Mary O'Connell, a married woman,
and her five children, to Ireland. The woman and her
family had, he said, been supported a considerable time in
the workhouse at a great expense, without having any
claim whatever on Bishopsgate parish, where they re-
mained a burden, and would, if permitted to remain,
become an intolerable annual charge. The Guardians
were extremely unwilling to do any that might appear to
be harsh, but they felt that this was an extreme
case and as the father, who had deserted his
family, was a native of Ireland, and resident in Dublin,
and the woman was an Irishwoman, the only course
which seemed to him fit to be taken was to pass the woman
and her children at once. The woman was guilty, too, of
deserting her children.
Mary O'Connell—l won't be passed to Ireland. My
husband is not there, and I know nobody there at all. I
have been twenty years in England and had eleven chil-
dren, and all these have been born in Bishopsgate parish.
It is false to say I deserted my children. I was not al-
lowed to see them.
Mr. Booker, one of the officers of Bishopsgate parish,
said that the woman had uniformly refused to he passed.
The LORD MAYO R—These children are English chil-
dren, and it must be shown to me that lam justified in
passing them to Ireland before I sign the order.
Mr. Baylis—The support of the family will cost 501. a
year; and it is quite monstrous that such an expense should
be entailed without any assignable cause.
The LORD MAYOR—It appears to me that it is the
father and not the mother that has deserted the family.
Mr. Smart, the vestry clerk of Bishopsgate parish, sug-
gested that if the Lord Mayor did not think proper to pass
the family, the burthen of maintaining them slr.uli not be
wholly cast upon Bishopsgate, but divided amongst the
Union.
The Loan MAYOR thought the proposition reasonable,
but observed that the whole nation ought to hear the ex-
; pence in such cases, by one general rate through the
country. The very charges made for discussing and re-
I moving were sufficient to support the families of the poor.
Mr. Baylis said that the burden of the particular caso
before his Lordship ought to fall on the proper back, and
that back was Ireland.

no means of support at all.
Mr. Baylis—The decision of the Guardians is that the
woman and her family shall be passed.
The LORD MAYOR.—I 9 that the decision of the whole
Board ? •
Mr. Baylis—Most certainly.
The LORD MAYOR—I wish the Board would take the
matter into consideration again, and send to me their de-
cision.

Mr. Baylis said that he would as soon as possible corn-
municate with the Board on the subject, and let his Lord-
ship know the result.

on a subsequent day Mr. Smart, the vestry clerk, at-
tended with the resolution of the Board of Guardians, that
h was their opinion the family should be forthwith
passed."
Mr. Smart then applied under the statute i 9 Geo. 111.

cap. 12, and argued that the marriage of the parents in
Ireland being legal and the children legitimate, the chil-
dren constituted a portion of their parent's family, and be.
coming chargeable, came within the meaning of the Act of
Parliament. The case would be different if the children
were illegitimate, for in the eye of the law they would then
have no parents, and being born in England would have a
settlement in the place of their birth.
The LORD MAYOR— Is not birth a settlement when no
other settlement is capable of being proved ?
Mr. Smart—lt is a prima facie settlement, but in this
case the law steps in and prevents it. We are not to
argue on a subject of this kind as a question of feeling.
The LORD MAYOR—Certainly not. If we were, I should
never for a moment think of passing the woman and
children to what may be considered, as regards them, a
foreign land.
Mr. Hobler (to Mr. Smart)—You say the children
have no settlement here. Now, suppose some years hence
these children, having been born in Bishopsgate parish,
come to England, and are destitute, I don't see how you
can deny their claim upon that parish, and pass them to
Ireland. _

The case was again adjourned, in order that the Vestry-
clerk might irave.an opportunity of producing authorities

sanctioning his application.
When the question was next discussed,
Mr. Smart, after briefly re-stating the nature of his ap-
plication, cited several cases closely bearing upon it, and
urged that although a woman, previously to her marriage,
had a settlement, yet her husband not having any, upon
becoming chargeable, she was liable, together with her
husband and children, to be sent to Ireland or Scotland,
as the case might be, but if it chanced that her husband
had deserted her, and she was thereby not under his main-
tenance or control, she and her children must be
passed to her maiden settlement—the settlement being
suspended so long only as she continued under his power.
He then referred to the King v. the inhabitants of Cot.
tingham in confirmation of his view of the question. He
also cited the King v. Benett and Broughton, Esqrs.,
Justices of Middlesex, who had refused, on application, to
pass an Irish pauper and her illegitimate child for the
purpose of nurture. The Court of King's Bench decided
that the statute authorised and required the Justices to
remove the mother, who had not gained any settlement,
but that it gave them no power to remove the child, which
had acquired a settlement by birth.
The Loan MAYOR—Is not that rather against than for
the present application, as it evidently recognises the birth
settlement ? _ _ _

Mr. Smart—lt recognises the birth settlement, because
the child being nullus filius , does not constitute part of
a family, and therefore is not within the Act of Parliament.
The LORD MAYOR—I do not see any difference. Your
Act of Parliament is silent as to the parish of children.
Mr. Smart—lt is so, but it is very clear and distinct as
to children being part of a family chargeable, and as these
children were born of a legal marriage, they are removable.
Mr. Hobler wished that the Recorder, who was engaged
as counsel on the occasion just quoted, and who was well
acquainted with all the facts and circumstances, should be
consulted in a matter of such importance.
Mr. Smart also cited the King v. the inhabitants of
Leeds, which was an appeal against an order of Justices,
upon an application to pass to Scotland the husband who
had no settlement in England, his wife who had a settle.
ment in England, and their eight children. He had the
opinion of the Judges, which was—" We think it impossible
to read the words of the 33d clause without seeing that the
Magistrates have now the power, in cases like the present,
of sending the husband, together with his wife and family,
by a pass to Scotland, and having this power, we are of
opinion that they cannot remove the wife and family to her
maiden settlement, so as to separate her from her husband."
He contended that this was a much stronger case than the
present, inasmuch as in the one the mother had, and in the
other she had not, a maiden settlement.
The LORD MAYOR--.lt is so, but that is a Scotch case.
Yours is an Irish case, and, in a matter of such moment, I
should wish for the production of a case as closely similar
as possible to that on which I am called upon to adjudicate.
Mr. Smart—Ours is an Irish case certainly, but the 33d
clause applies to persons born in Scotland and Ireland.
The Loan MAYOR after reading the clause just
quoted, granted the application, and directed that the pass
should be made out.

Mary O'Connell—The d—l a use there is in passing
me, for I won't go to Ireland. What would Ido there ?
I don't know a creature there. Can't you give me a few
shillings a week, and stop all this fuss about us?
The woman and the four children then left the Police-
office.

Yesterday Mr. Booker, the Assistant Overseer, brought
Mary O'Connell and her children again before the LORD
Mayon, and the Rev. Dr. Russell, the Rector of Bishops-
gate and Chairman of the Board of Guardians, and Mr.
Smart, the Vestry Clerk, attended to make an application
to his Lordship with respect to the family.
Mr. Booker said that according to his Lordship's direc-
tion the regular examination had been prepared preparatory
to the issue of the order of passing, but the woman had re-
fused to sign it, and now pleaded that she remembered that
she had been born in Bristol and not in Ireland.
Mr. Smart—That is quite immaterial. Her husband
was born in Ireland.
Mary O'Connell--So I have heard, but I don't know
it. But I know nothing of Ireland now. Consider that
I have not been there these twenty years.
The LORD MAYOR—I have made the order.
Mary O'Connell—l'd sooner pison myself than go there
The LORD MAYOR—Have you no friends there ?
Mary O'Connell—Not one. What am I to do there?
Mr. Smart—Your husband is there, according to your
own account.

MaryO'Connell—l don't know that he is. If he was

there Pd wish to be with him, but I don't know where on
earth he is. I think I see myself going about Dublin with
all my children looking for him. I tell you there's no use
in passing me.
The LORD MAYOR—WeII, Dr. Russell, what do you say
to this?

Dr. Russell—We are most desirous to pass her and her
family to Ireland, for if she is to remain here we shall
have other Irish ‘vornen deserted by their husbands, for the
purpose of making them chargeable to the parish. It is
our duty to protect the rate-payers of the parish, who are
at great expense from the inundation of poor of this de-
scription.
The Loan Mayon—What is it proposed that I shall do
in this case? Pow can they be passed?
Mr. Smart—She may be passed upon her own oath, or
upon the oath of any person who can swear to the matter
inquired to be set forth.
The LORD MAtOß—The question becomes more difficult
as we proceed, and I think that Counsel's opinion ought
to be taken on it. At at all events, it is a matter I cannot
take upon me to decide.
Mr. Hobler—Surely you would not pass her to Ireland
in irons I
Mr. Smart said that the woman had, by deserting her
children, subjected herself to punishment under the 17th of
George 11. The case was, however, as the Lord Mayor
stated, extremely complicated.
Mary O'Connell—lt is quite wrong to say that I de-
serted my children, I never had any notion of such a thing.
By sending all of us over to Ireland you would do worse
than my deserting them, for we would all perish there. I
am too fond of them to take them there to starve.
Mr. Booker declared that she had deserted her children
for five months, and that she was one of those obstinate
impostors whom nothing could move or improve.
The LORD MAYOR—I have no doubt at all that she is im-
posing upon the Board of Guardians, and sets you all at
defiance, but I should not like to endeavour to dovetail
two Acts of Parliament to punish her.
Mr. Hobler—The Act of Parliament which relates to
the removal of poor persons never was intended to mean
compulsory removal.
The LORD MAYOR—Certainly not. At every step, you
perceive, our difficulties and embarrassments increase.
