LAMBETH.

The ATTO}INEY-GENERALMOVCd for a rule to show cause
why a mandamus should not be issued to the defendants,
commanding them to appear before Dr. D'Oyley, the Rec-
tor of the parish, and produce the poor-rate books, and the
books containing an account of the collection of the poor-
rates. He stated that on last Easter T.,,lday there was an
election of churchwardens and overseers for the parish.
At that election Dr. D'Oyley, who was the Rector, pre-
sided. There were rival candidates for these offices, and
some of the candidates were supported by the old church-
wardens sod overseers. A show of hands was taken, and
then a poll was demanded, and was granted by Dr. D'Oy-
ley, who continued it for three days, but to no satisfactory
purpose whatever. The votes in the parish were taken
under the provisions of Mr. Sturge Bourne's Act, so
that there was a system of plurality of voting accord-
ing to the rating of the voters, and it was part of
the regulation of the Act that the persons who voted
must be those who were rated, and had paid their
rates. In order to know who had fulfilled these re-
quisites, and could vote, it was necessag to see the rate-
books, and the books of accounts of the collection of the
rates. The defendants would not allow these books to be
produced. It was therefore impossible for the Rector to
know whether the persons who presented themselves had a
right to vote or not, or what was the number of votes that
any one person was entitled to give. Under the circum-
stances the Rector applied for the interposition of the
Court ; for a scrutiny had now been applied for and
granted, and that scrutiny could not be carried on without
these books.

The Court thought that the information ought to have
been afforded, and therefore granted the rule.

THE QUEEN V. BIRKBECK.

Mr. CRESSWELL stated that this was a case in which the
defendant had suffered judgment on a criminal information,
and he now moved for the sentence of the Court.

Sir F. Pommel( was happy to say that he could express,
on the part of the defendant, his extreme regret that a,
letter should have beeen written offensive to the feelings of
the prosecutor, and provoking an explanation which was
still more offensive ; and at the same time, in the most free
and candid spirit, he withdrew every imputation which had
been made on the prosecutor.
Mr. CRESSWELL under the circumstances should not press
for the judgment of the Court on the defendant.

EVENING EDITION.

THE CHARTISTS.

(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)

„
BIRMINGHAM, FRIDAY EVENING.
Ti ere is a good deal of excitement here, but I believe
there is no likelihood of a breach of the peace. The Ma-
gistrates issued a proclamation against holding meetings
in the street, but after it was placarded the Chartists met
as usual without any interference on the part of the Magis-
trates, who, even if so inclined, had not the means at their
disposal of interfering with effect. To day the pensioners
bet urging to the district have been called upon to meet at
the bbrracks, and all who absent themselves must give sa- '
tisfactory reasons for so doing. It is understood they will be
furnished with arms. The most noisy and vehement here
are the very lowest of the workmen—the respectable me-
chanics have taken no part in the proceedings of the last
few days. The Bull-ring, where they meet every night, is
filled with 3,000 or 4,000 persons, many being led there
merely by motives of curiosity, while, as is usual at all such
popular assemblages, there is a large proportion of boys,
pickpockets, &c. impartial justice obliges me to add
that the ladies of the Female Political Union, established
by Mr. Salt, are the most energetic and violent in their
demeanour. A great number of special constables were
sworn in yesterday and to-day, and, as I before said, I have
no apprehensions that the peace of the town will be dis-
turbed. Let the Magistrates be prepared to act with firm-
ness, while they use a conciliatory tone towards the people
—let them exercise a sound discretion before they resort to
any overt acts, which may goad on the people to violence,
and furnish a pretext for mischief, and there is little doubt
that the agitation will speedily die a natural death.

RIOTS IN MONTGOMERYSHIRE

(From the Shrewsbury Chronicle of Yesterday.)
The accounts from Llanidloes and Newton are most
satisfactory, a number of the rioters have been seized or
held to bail, and quietness has been restored. The injury
done in the Trewythen Arms Hotel is ascertained to
amount to above three hundred pounds, which:the Hundred
will have to pay. The 14th regiment, from Ireland, ar-
rived yesterday, and will remain in portions divided be-
tween Llanidloes, Newton, and Montgomery. Three
persons were committed to prison on Wednesday, and the
constables arc engaged in all directions with warrants,
amounting to between thirty and forty, issued against de-
linquents. . _ _

Rewards of one hundred pounds each have been offered
for the apprehension of the following six persons, and fifty
pounds for information against them, viz. :
Thomas Jarman, carpenter, who escaped after having
been apprehended.
Lewis Humphreys, shoemaker.
Jenkin Hughes, Isaac Lewis, Thomas Jerman, and Abel
Owen.

We have ascertained that seven prisoners from
Llanidloes are committed to Montgomery prison, and that
from Newtown, George Russell, Richard Evans, and
Richard Jones are committed to the same prison.
Thanks have been awarded by the inhabitants of New-
town to Viscount Clive and the Shropshire Yeomanry, for
their conduct on the occasion.

BOSTON MONEY MARKET.

We have to notice another week of severe pressure
in the money-market. Matters remain as they have
been for several weeks past. There has been a very
large amount of business paper for sale, and there have
been no regular rates. Prices have ranged very high
for all descriptions, and the lowest rate at which any has
been negotiated is 1i per cent., 6 months.
Our banks have generally done all they could to assist
the mercantile community, but their facilities have been
cut off by the constant drain of their specie, which has
been taken mostly on New York account.
Exchange on New York is scarce, and some large
amounts were sold at to I premium.
Philadelphia checks continue about the same as last
week, 10 per cent. discount.

Notwithstanding the pressure here, our merchants
have sustained themselves thus far, though at great
sacrifices, and we know of no suspension of any note.

ARMY MOVIMENTS.—The Philadelphia National
Gazelle of the 16th says :—" We have information
which states that 7,000 regulars are to be sent to Flo-
rida ; among them the Bth infantry and a large portion
of the artillery are to go from the northern frontier, and
likewise the 2d regiment of dragoons. General Taylor
has been authorized to send to Cuba for a large num-
ber of blood-hounds."
This annunciation cannot but shock the moral sense
of the civilized world. In the 19th century, and in
Christian America, the Government of a great republic
is about to hunt human beings with dogs. For a pro-
ceeding so revolting to human nature the bloodiest page
of history furnishes no precedent. It is true that the
British Government, after a vain struggle of seventy
years to subdue the Maroons of Jamaica, procured blood-
hounds from Scotland for their extermination, but, to
the honour of the British army be it said, not an officer
was to be found who could be prevailed on, even by the
promises of the highest honours, to undertake the exe-
cution of the atrocious enterprise.
If our Government is resolved to send a regiment of
dogs against the Seminoles, they must get a dog to com-
mand it ; no man will do it.—Louisville Journal.
MOBILE.—The Register of the 21st instant states
that deaths have lately occurred in that city by black
vomit of the most malignant character. Some of the
persons had but lately returned to the city, and others
were old residents. The weather had been remarkably
cool, closely approaching winter in the morning and
evening, though there were as yet no signs of a frost.
A slip had been received at the Mobile Post-offico
from Columbus, Mississippi, which stated that Colonel
Byrne, the Sheriff of Lowndes county, has been found
shot dead about one mile from the town.

AunnsTA.—The health of the city is improving
rapidly. The Constitutionalist of the 24th states that
only four deaths by fever had occurred during the past
week, and the number of new cases was diminishing.

ILLNESS OF THE DUKE OF

WELLINGTON.

DOVER, N0v.20.

His Grace the Duke of Wellington passed a
good night, and is considerably better to-day. Lord
Fitzroy Somerset arrived last evening at Walrner
Castle, with Sir Astley Cooper, and they remain,
with Dr. Hume. A dinner party that had been
invited for to-day has been postponed.
(From the Morning Herald.)
WALNIER, Nov. 20.

The Duke of Wellington is reported something
better to-day, having had several hours' sleep dur•
ing the night. Dr. Hume and Sir A. Cooper
were in attendance on him at the Castle.

Lord Alfred Paget, Equerry in Waiting to her
Majesty, drove up to Apsley House, yesterday
afternoon, in one of the Royal carriages and four,
with a special message from her Majesty to inquire
after the health of the Duke of Wellington. The
Noble Lord was informed that Colonel Gurwood,
who was then at Apsley House, had just received
an express from Walmer Castle with a letter from
Lord Mahon, stating that the illustrious Duke was
much better and out of danger. Apsley House
was thronged throughout the day by the nobility
and gentry anxious to learn the state of the illus-
trious Duke.

(From the Times.)
It is with unfeigned and grateful rejoicing that
we find ourselves authorized to remove entirely
whatever alarms may have been caused by the me-
lancholy announcement in yesterday's Times, of a
dangerous attack of illness having visited the fiist
man of this age and nation.
The language in which the intelligence was
made public must have led almost everybody to
apprehend that something in the nature of paralysis
or apoplexy had befallen the saviour of his country.

We can assure our readers that there was no
shadow of foundation for such a fear. The Duke
having lived rather full one day, had starved him-
self the next, eating on Sunday last, as we under-
stand, nothing more than a crust of bread for his
dinner. The next morning, after an equally slight
breakfast, lie mounted his horse, and went out for
some hours with the harriers. After his long fast
and violent exercise he returned home in a state of
much exhaustion, and fairly, in a fainting fit,
dropped off his chair ; after which he went to bed,
giving positive orders that a dinner, to which he
had invited several military friends, should proceed
as if nothing had happened. His Grace slept com-
fortably all Monday night, awl has since been
rapidly getting well. The only really distressing
fact about the case is, that the Duke, at the age of
70, does not seem to have yet discovered the value
of his own precious life, and generally takes no
more care of himself than a boy of 18 or 20.

COURT OF CHANCERY, Nor. 20.
HAWYSWORTH V. BRAMMALL.
The arguments in this case, which commenced yes-
terday, were resumed to-day. The case came before
his Lordship upon appeal from the decision of his Honour
the Vice-Chancellor, decreeing the specific performance
of an award deciding upon the manner in which the
accounts of a partnership in a file trade should be kept,
that partnership having been put an end to. The ap-
pellants contended that the plan adopted by the arbi-
trators was not correct, inasmuch as it was very inju-
rious to them.

Mr. WIGRAM and Mr. K. PARKER appeared for the
appellants, and Mr. COOPER and Mr. WALKER sup-
ported the decree of the Court below.
The LORD CHANCELLOR, at the conclusion of the
arguments, postponed giving judgment.

WELLESLEY V. WELLESLEY.
This case came before the Court upon appeal from
the judgment of the Vice-Chancellor over-ruling the
defendant's demurrers, put in to the plaintiff's bill for
want of equity, but allowing it for want of parties. roe
plaintiff in the case is the present Lady of Mr. Long
Pole Wellesley, and the defendants are that gentleman,
Messrs. Wright and Greeenly, the trustees of certain of
his estates, Mr. Wellesley, jun., and several other per-
sons. On the separation of Mr. Wellesley in 1834,
from the plaintiff, for the purpose of making a provision
for her, he entered into a covenant that he would on or
before the Ist of February, 1835, well and effectually,
either by charge on freehold estates of inheritance,
situated in England or Wales, or by an investment
of an adequate sum of , money in the Funds,
or by the best means that Might then be in his power,
secure to her an income or 1,0001. a year. Mr. Wel-
lesley having failed to fulfil this engagement, Mrs. Wel-
lesley filed her bill, for the purpose of having it de-
clared by the Court that she had a lien to the extent of
1,0001. a year on the estates of Mr. Wellesley, of which
the defendants, Wright and Greenly, were trustees to
raise 462,000/. To this bill the defendants put in a
demurrer for want of equity. On the case coming on
before the Vice-Chancellor, his Honour considering that
Mrs. Wellesley had a lien on the property, overruled
the demurrer, and upon that decision the present appeal
was brought.

Mr. Wigram and Mr. Toiler were for the appellants ;
and Mr. Jacob, Mr. Richards, and Mr. Stuart for the
respondents.
The case on behalf of the appellants had not con-
cluded when his Lordship rose.

STITUTION.

We were favoured yesterday with a private
view of several copies taken from the paintings of
the old masters, by some of our young students in
art. The majority of these copies are in oil, but
there are some in water colours, executed with
great spirit. Titian's famous picture of " Diana
surprised in the Bath by Actaeon," which belongs,
we believe, to the collection of Lord Francis
Egerton, seems to have been a great favourite with
our young artists, for the copies of it are almost
innumerable. Among the best of these we may
mention the two by Miss Drummond and Mr.
Buckle. Rembrandt's " Jew"—Vandvke's " Por.
trait of his Daughter".—Rubens's " Pythagoras
and his Pupils"—have also been the subjects of
copy ; nor arc any of these attempts devoid of
merit, while some—such, for instance, as Miss
Ellen Ranshaw's " Jew"—show considerable pro-
mise. We wish, however, our young students
would not be quite so chalky in their colouring,
especially as respects the human countenance.
During the whole time we were at the 13ritish In-
stitution there were scarcely four persons present.

RURAL PO LICE.

HERTFORDSHIRE.—Yesterday a Special Meeting of
Magistrates of the County of Hertz was held at the
Shire Hall, Hertford, for the purpose of taking into
consideration the propriety of adopting the provisions
of the Act 2 and 3 Victoria, for the establishment of a
Rural Police in that district.

There was a very full attendance of Magistrates, and
among them were Earl Verulam, the Lord Lieutenant
of the County, Lord Deere, the Marquis of Salisbury,
Sir Culling Smith, Rowland Alston, Esq., M.P., and a
number of the principal gentry of the county.
Lord DACRE in the Chair. He observed that if the
Act was carried out, it would nearly double the
County rate.
Mr. BLAKE proposed the adoption of the Act in the
County of Herts.
After some discussion, the motion was negatived.

DEARMAN V. WYCHE.-JUDGMENT.

The LORD CHANCELLOR also gave judgment in this
case, which was heard yesterday on a point of strict
practice. The question in the case was, whether an
enrolment of a decree was good, though after the pre-
sentation of a petition of appeal, the party enrolling the
dtcree, not receiving notice of the appeal until after the
enrolment. In the present case the enrolment of the
decree was made on the 15th of August last, the peti-
tion of appeal was presented and answered on the Bth,
and the appeal was set down on the 11th, but there
was no service of the order till the 17th ; under these
circumstances the question was, whether the enrolment
was bad and ought to be vacated. His Lordship was
clearly of opinion, upon principle and authority, that the
enrolment was good at the time it took place, and
ordered it to be retained accordingly.

WARBURTON V. THE BLACKWALL AND COMMERCIAL

RAILWAY.

The arguments in this motion, which were com-
menced yesterday, were resumed and concluded to-day.
It will be recollected that the application is on behalf
of the Blackwall Railway Company, to dissolve an in-
junction restraining them from proceeding with the
works at their terminus, near the Minories. The injuc-
tion was granted ex parte in the affidavit of the plaintiff,
which stated that the excavations which were in pro-
gress by the defendents, would prove destructive to the
house of the plaintiff.
His HONOUR, at the conclusion of the arguments,
said he must take time to consider what he should do
with the injunction. He might however say this, that
if the weather should continue wet or turn to frost, that
the mischief which was dreaded might be accomplished,
his Honour therefore thought the Company should be
allowed to proceed sn far with their works as to pre-
vent that mischief taking place.

IMPORTANT INVENTION. A gentleman of
this town informs us that he has invented a new engine,
immensely superior in every respect to the old steam-
engine. The power is created by air and steam. It
will consume only one-half the quantity of fuel of the
old one ; and the rapidity by which a vessel propelled
by it will sail will enable it to perform a passage to
America in six days. Owing to a particular way in
which the power acts upon the vessel, twenty miles the
hour can be realised with the greatest possible ease.
The weight of the machinery will be only one-half of
that required by the old steam-engine, and instead of
straining and weakening the ship, will brace and
strengthen it. By this method the steam power is more
than doubled.----Liverpool
HIGHWAY ROBBERY.. AS Mr. Crocker,
cooper, of Montacute was on his way home on the
evening of Saturday, the 9th instant, when between
Norton and Holy Tree, near Stoke-under-Hamdon, he
was attacked by three highwaymen and robbed of 4/.
odd in cash, and much beaten. A somewhat singular
coincidence, however, has happily led to the discovery
of one of the offenders. While rifling the pockets of
Mr. Crocker, whom they had down on the ground, one
of the victims covered the mouth of his victim with his
hand to prevent Mr. Crocker's calling for aid, when, in
the scuffle, Mr. C. contrived to lay hold of one of his
fingers with his teeth, and so griped the villain that the
mark led to his detection, and he proves to be a fellow
of the name of Foan, a mason, living at Crewkerne, an
old offender. He has also since been recognized as the
delinquent in another recent case of highway robbery.
We are happy to add that his two accomplices have also
since been apprehended and committed.—Sherborne
Journal.
A trial has just occurred before the Tribunal of
Premiere Instance, which is a sort of libel upon the
times. Mr. Hope, the Dutch banker, was defendant in
an action brought by his cook for 2,103 f. 50c., the
amount of his bill for the provision of the kitchen for
seven days. Mr. Hope admitted that he owed 1,7601.,
but that the disciple of Ude had modestly added 25 per
cent.to the fair profits of the place,which he was not will-
ing to pay ; and the Tribunal, judging that 101. a day, or
:3,6501. per annum, ought to be sufficient for the kitchen
even of a Dutch banker, ordered the plaintiff to receive
the sum offered by the defendant. One of the items of
the bill was 1401bs. of butcher's meat for a single day,
and that in a capital where it is admitted that of a
single arrondissement nearly 7,000 persons are upon the
liVres de bieniaisance, and do not receive, even in bread,
half the quantity necessary for the support of life. As
to butcher's meat, at least onc-fourth of the inhabitants
of Paris do not taste it once a week.—Letter from
Paris.

ST. JAMES'S THEATRE.

Auber's Masaniello was performed here last night
the veteran vocalist Braham taking his old part, the
hero. With the merits as well as the demerits of the
performance the play-going public are well acquainted.
Brilliant of course has lost much of his power, but in
even passages he succeeded in imparting a smack of
the sweetness and strength that eminently distinguished
his younger days. He now lives on his reputation ; and
a British audience, generously reminiscent of the glory
of other days, continues to receive the old singer with
rapturous applause. Miss Cooper was the Elvira, but
she was, we understood, labouring under illness. Mr.
Hatton, who played Pietro, is naturally a clever singer,
but was unfitted, by cold, for his duty. The dumb
character of Fenella was beautifully enacted by Pau-
line Guichard. Franks, as Alphonso, sang carefully.
Some of the new scenery was good, but unfortunately,
from some damp in the fireworks, the " eruption" did
not " come off" at once, and the eclat of the finale was
diminished by the accident. After Masaniello, a bur-
letta, in one act, entitled A Close Siege, enlivened the
audience. It is a merry little piece, and went el well.
The Earl of Chesterfield (Tilbury) has a dashrg son
of dissipated habits, George Stanhope (Mr. _King), who
is in love with Mabel Flarrowden (Mrs. Frat..ks), an
orphan, betrothed to Gilbert Arkwright (Mr. BiJer).
Tne equivoque turns upon the fact of the Christjan
names of both lovers beginning with G, which leads tb'
mistakes on the part of Mabel. For instance, the girl
is reproaching her innocent Gilbert with infidelity and
dissipation, and threatens to prove her accusations
producing his own father as a witness. She makes good
her threat by bringing forward the Earl of Chesterfield,
who is then too happy to discover that Mabel's " dear
G.', is not his son George, but Gilbert, the weaver, and
whose intimation of the difference makes the half-waver-
ing Mabel just as happy in the fidelity of her betrothed.
All the parts were well and equally sustainer. and the
acting carried off the piece with applause. It was an-
nounced by Mr. Baker for repeti ojn
tion every cv:niNg
until further notice. Mrs. Franks rather broke d
in a song which she had got imperfectly.
The ballet L'Amore closed the evening's performance.
Apropos to the ballet, we may justly enough say, that
there are in it some good dancers ; but we think the
manager must have had much difficulty in getting to-
gether so rare a collection of ladies whose faces have
been cheated of every, even the commonest charm, to
be lavished, perhaps, on their legs. .1

STATE OF TRADE.-NEw YORK, Nor. 7.

There is a fair supply of broad stuffs daily arriving.
The demand has, however, been a good deal checked,
and the sales have been very limited. Prices for western
ranged to-day from 5 dols. 56c. to 5 dols. 75c. In freights
we learn of no improvement.
CoTTorr.—There has been no improvement in the
activity of this article, and prices are still tending down-
wards ; although, in the absence of any extensive trans-
action, without marked change, sales extend to about
2,300 bales at 10 to 12f for upland, 10} to I I f for
Mobile, 10 to 13 for New Orleans. The arrivals have
been 1,200 bales at Charleston, during the week ending
on the 2d inst. There was a decline of fc. on the rates
of the present week, and purchasers demanded further
concessions. The sales reached 3,610 bags, at extremes
of 9i to 124.

CHANCERY COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

The Lcrd Chancellor sat in Lincoln's Inn Hall to-day.

WATSON V.
13 AYtS.-JUDGMENT.

The Lone C)tANCELLOR gave judgment to-day
in this case, which was heard some time since
before his Lordship, upon appeal from the deci-
sion of his Honour the Vice-Chancellor. The
short facts of the case out of which the question
arises may be stated as follow :—The testator in
the cause directed his real estates to be sold, and out
of the proceeds his widow was to have 4001. a year ; his
natural daughter was to have a legacy of 5001., and
5001. was directed by the testator's will to be
expended in other legacies, and the residue was
to be divided equally among his five legitimate chil-
dren. Some time after the testator's death the widow
died, as well as the testator's natural daughter ; and
in this state of circumstances the first question in the
cause was, whether the amount set apart to produce
the 4001. a year to the widow was to be considered as
belonging to the residuary property, and therefore go
to his children under the will, or whether it must be
considered as part of his real estate, and belonged to
the heir-at-law ? The other question was, whether the
legacy to the testator's natural daughter must be
considered as having lapsed in consequence of her
death ? His Honour the Vice-Chancellor, on the
case coming before him, considered that the fund
which had been set apart to produce the 4001.
a year for the widow belonged to the heir at law, and
decreed accordingly. As to the legacy to the natural
daughter, his Honour was of opinion that it had not
lapsed by her death. His Lordship this morning, after
shortly going over the facts of the case, stated his opi-
nion to be that the Vice Chancellor's judgment was
correct as far as it declared the property producing the
4001. a year went to the heir at law. With respect,
however, to the legacy to the natural daughter his
Lordship felt bound, after lockitig at the cases of Han-
son and Graham, and Meek and Robinson, decided by
Sir Wm. Grant, and Bawdrey and Hill, decided by Sir
John Leach, to declare that The legacy had lapsed, the
judgment therefore of the Vice Chancellor would have
to be altered in that respect. Ai to whom the legacy
weuld go his Lordship did not feel himself called upon
to decide in the present state of the record. His Lord-
ship ordered the costs of the appeal to be costs in the
cause.

AND SELBY ROADS

In this case a rule had been obtained, calling upon
the defendants to show cause why a writ of mandamus
should not issue, directed to them, and commanding
them to pay into the Bank of England, pursuant to the
provisions of the Act 3 Geo. 4, the sum of 3551., with
interest at the rate of 4 per cent., or so much of the
above sum as they had in hand, as compensation for
certain land taken and used by them in making a turn-
pike road.
Mr. CRESWF.LI. now appeared to show cause against
the rule, and observed that he regretted the Rev. Gentle-
man, at whose instance the rule had been granted, had put
himself and the trustees to so much unnecessary expense.
The trustees had not Is. to pay, and he regretted to say,
that the road was in the same condition as many others
in that country, in consequence of the traffic having
been taken off the road by the Railways. There was
a debt of 30,0001., and they had not the slightest pros-
pect of being able to pay a farthing. It appeared that
a portion of the glebe lands of the Rev. Gentleman who
was incumbent of the parish before Mr. Green had been
taken far the purposes of the road, and it was sup-
posed that the Rector, like the landowners, all of whom
were equally interested in the formation of the road,
would not have applied for compensation. The applica-
tion was, however, made, and the trustees feeling that
he was entitled to it, at once submitted to arbitration.
The incumbent died, and the Rev. Mr. Green who suc-
reetied him, applied to the trustees, and it was agreed
between them, that the money should not be demanded
provided they paid interest, and what strongly corrobo-
rated that fact was, that two days afterwards,Mr.G reen's
attorney applied for, and received six years interest at 4
per cent. Now the whole debt on the road was 30,000/.
and of that sum 14,0001. was due to the Treasurer
for Exchequer Bills, for a loan under the Exchequer
Act. The Act of Parliament under which the loan
was granted, provided that the Government for any
loan of Exchequer Bills should have priority over all
other creditors. The debt to the Government being
unliquidated he apprehended the rule could not be
made as they had no money in
hand to
to absolute, inasmuch
pay over.
Sir FREDERICK POLLOCK said if an agreement was
nowmre.ntecareEdmibvnryto to pay the interest regularly, he would
not press for the
