fill the office. This request was ultimately complied
with.
Mr. Councillor HADLEY observed that Captain
Moorsom's letter was so indefinite that they could not
calculate upon his taking the declaration, by which they
might be left without a Mayor during the year. He
would have supported him in preference to Mr. Muntz,
but under present circumstances he could not think of
doing so. .

Mr. Councillor PALMER could not see how Captain
Moorsom could consistently act as Mayor after having
refused to take the declaration as Councillor. He had
been elected to represent one of the wards of the
borough, and in consequence of the declaration in ques-
tion, he had refused to do so. The case then stood
thus. The charge against Captain Moorsom was a de-
ficiency of duty, while against Mr. Muntz it was an
excess of duty—a virtue carried to excess. He had
erred on the side of benevolence and humanity.—(" No,
no,"
,and " Yes, yes.") From explanations made by
Mr. Muntz himself, he had said he had subscribed
the amount immediately after the 4th July, and he did
it on representations being made to him that the police
wounded in the affray with the people were suffering
great distress. Although he deplored as much as
any one could do their introduction into the
town, and attributed all the evils that had
occurred to their presence in Birmingham, still
he could not help admiring the feeling that
actuated Mr. Muntz on the occasion. He wished Mr.
Muntz had protested against the application of the
fund raised on that occasion, and which had been dis-
posed of, he believed contrary to his intentions. The
London police were guilty of most atrocious conduct.
The blood of persons of the most peaceable disposition
bad been spilt by them, and violence had been com-
mitted by them against men who would have done
everything in their power to prevent the destruction of
property, or public tumult.
Mr. Councillor CUTLER had a strong objection to
any man bolding the Commission of the Peace being
elected as Mayor, as he thought it of the highest im-
portance that a gentleman thoroughly unshackled and
independent should fill that office. Suppose Mr.
Muntz were elected Mayor, and was asked at the same
time to take the chair at a public meeting, at which
some iniquitous Act of Parliament, which, as a Magis-
trate, he had sworn to administer, was to be denounced,
he would put it to the Council whether Mr. Muntz
could preside on such an occasion, without the
fear of being struck off the roll of the Commission
of the Peace by the Secretary of State for so doing
He felt sure that, arrayed as the present Government
were against the people, no one could serve them and the
people at the same time.—(Cheers.) Should they elect
Mr.Muntz, the Government might well say, " Here is
this Council, that made such an outcry against the Lon-
don police, electing an individual as a Mayor who r, -
warded this very body of men.—(Cheers.) Mr. Muntz
said that he gave the money to relieve the men wounded
on the 4th of July, but how came it that Mr. May, the
Superintendant, who did not come to Birmingham till
the sth, was presented with a gold snuff-box.—( Hear,
hear.) If they elected Mr. Muntz as Mayor, they
would prove to the Government that they were anxious
to carry out the system of centralization which was now
attempted to be established in this country, and which
was calculated to fetter in every way the liberties of the
people.—( Cheers.)
Mr. RonwaY and Mr. SALT vindicated the conduct
of Mr. Muntz, and referred to his public conduct and
valuable services in the cause of Reform as entitling
him to their confidence and support on the present
occasion.

Mr. Alderman BEALE observed that as Captain
Moorsom had conscientious objections to taking the de-
claration for the office of Councillor, he had not the
slightest doubt that he would object to take the declara-
tion if elected Mayor. He had a great respect for
Captain Moorsom, and the principles which influenced
him in objecting to this test, but when he was asked to
support another in doing that which he (Mr. Beale) had
sworn not to do, he felt that he could not vote for him.
Mr. STURGE wished it to be distinctly understood that
he alone was responsible for bringing Captain Moorsom
ftrward, and if any blame rested anywhere in the mat-
ter it was with him. At the same time it was his opinion
that the election of Captain Moorsom would materially
contribute to the peace of the town.
The question was then put to the meeting when there
appeared a show of hands in favour of Mr. Muntz, the
numbers being for Mr. Muntz 27, for Captain Moor-
som 21 ; several members of the Council declined voting.
Mr. Muntz then took his seat at the head of the table
amidst the cheers of his friends, and expressions of dis-

approbation from the crowd below the bar. After
making and subscribing the usual declaration, the other
business of the meeting was disposed off, and the Coun-
cil dissolved. From the strong feeling of disripproba-

tion express by many members of •the Council. with
respect to the conduct of Mr. Muntz in subscribing to
the fund for rewarding the London police, not the
slightest doubt could have been entertained that Cap-
tain Moorsoin would have been returned by a large ma-
jority had the Council any security that he would have
made the declaration and acted as Mayor.

are published without a fractional alteration. Ac-
ceptances of the banking-house there were none,
nor was there one bill returned unpaid, on which I
had obtained the amount, at the moment of the run
upon my house ; therefore, it will be difficult to find
even an apology for appointing an accountant at
5001. per annum, unless it was to mystify your own
transactions in regard to the Opera-house, as well
as the estates, which I defy any one to make
clear who has not the key to them in
his head, which, from my situation and
memory I fortunately possess. Do you not
know, Sir, that an accountant is not allowed to
assignees ? Has not that point been decided ?
While on the subject of the accounts, I now claim
the privilege of putting a few questions to you re-
specting your own accounts, prior to the ensuing
intended meetingin Basinghall-street, when you
will find some difficulty in packing a list of the three
assignees intended to fill up the vacancies occa-
sioned by the deaths of their predecessors. A
principal question that I wish to put to you is—
why did you permit Mr. Mayhew to pocket five
thousand pounds, with the interest thereon, being
the produce of Ebers's promissory note of hand
for that sum ? Mr. Mayhew filed an affidavit in
the Court of Chancery, when I presented my pe
tition to supersede the commission issued against
myself and son, before Sir John Leach, the then
Vice-Chancellor, that " he had accounted for

it." I have closely examined every entry in
the accounts, which you have reluctantly fur-
nished through the medium of the Court of Re-
view, amounting to 236,7041. 25., and I find
no vestige of the sum before mentioned of
five thousand pounds, which, together with the
interest for 15 years, would go far to pay ls. in
the pound upon all the claims upon me—quite
sufficient on the two hundred thousand pounds
proved. But 1 find amongst the law charges,
Under the date of 9th of June, 1826, " 1-1111's
cost for preparing case, and obtaining Counsel's
opinion on the validity of the transaction, relative
to the 5,0001. retained by Mayhew, 71. 10s. 10d."
Why did you not cite him before the Commis-
sioners, upon oath, as you had done myself, my
daughter, my brother, Mr. White, and others, at.
an enormous expense ? You were not then so
tenacious of issuing useless summonses to attend
the Commissioners. Why not say at once, can-
lidly, that you were in Mayhew's clutches—a cleft
.tick—and did not date to stir ? That would be
true ! ! He stood forward on most occasions, and
made a diversion to prevent your receiving the fire.
Possibly, as you were (mole like) working under
ground, you took Mr. Brunel for your prototype,
who, under the Thames, advances with a shield—
you chose one of brass—Mayhew, who complains
that he only received "porters' weges" (about
30,0001.) That he can bear the hardest knocks
with insensible indifference has been long admitted.
I find in your accounts an increase of the insur-
ance on the Queen's Theatre from 24,0001. to
35,0001. Am I to inquire of you or Mayhew,
whether you received the sanction of the creditors
at a regular legitimate meeting, for this extra ex-
pense of 4781. 10s. annually, and while there is a
guarantee against fire in my agreement with Mr.
Waters for purchase of her Majesty's Theatre,
" until a conveyance of the theatre shall he com-
pleted."

I now turn to charges, in your accounts for " va-
luations of properties" paid to Messrs. Machin
and Debenham, in all 1,3281. ls., contained in nine

items—a very moderate sum for cast-off theatrical
old clothes of the performers ! How many tons
are there ? Why not turn merchant at once and
freight a vessel to Botany Bay, and go out super-
cargo, for by law you have bought them on your
own account, or stock all Rag Fair with them ?
You doubtless are a sufficient holder to do so.
Have the creditors at a general meeting authorized
your proceedings ? I next !Lust remind you that
you have valued the Enfield property three different

Mmes, and the Committee once, of which your late

father was the Chairman ; the whole comprised in
another insignificant charge of only 7231. 12s. ld.
Did you imagine that each valuation improved the
soil ? The amount paid for valuations of old
clothes and estates, independent of other trivial
charges, amount to 2,0511. 13s. ld. In what par-
ticular instance have you benefited the estate? In

what have you not failed ? as if havoc was Ole
order of the day I I All your attempts have been
abortive ; in no point of law did you succeed, though
supported by the evidence of Jesse Lake, Brett,
Selby, and Co. Your whole success has been con-
fined to squaridering away thousands of pounds.
So much for your legal abilities and those of your
coadjutor. Mayhew, who esteems himself superior
to any Lord Chief Justice that ever sat upon the
judgment-seat. He is verily a " rara avis," a rare
black swan. How many affidavits has he sworn
for you on the various proceedings ? and you, Sir,
his pupil, have little hesitation in following your
master. Nor does your enlightened assistant Mr.
Richardson, want spirit in seconding your motions.
I call upon you, Sir, in my own name, and in
hat of every creditor, to sign the omitted itat zed
account, and to explain at the ensuing general
meeting why you neglected to subscribe it, and, if
you can, to justify your various acts, for it will not
be satisfactory that you attempt to throw the whole
blame on Mayhew.
I am now compelled to conclude, my letter being
already too long for the columns of The Sun, but
reserving the right of further checking your receipts
and payments.
I remain, Sir, your obedient servant,
A. H. CHAMBERS.

DISASTROUS EFFECTS OF PASSlON.—ln-
telligence has just reached this city of an event which
occurred within the last few days at one of the Mon-
mouthshire ironworks of a very melancholy nature. It
would appear from our information that on Monday last
an ironmaster, whose name we do not think it right
in
the present state of matters to publish, was engaged in
paying his men, when an altercation arose between him
and one of the labourers, in the course of which the
former kicked the latter with such violence in the groin
as to produce consequences so serious as to have termi-
nated on Thursday in the poor man's death. In an-
nouncing so painful a fact, we have some consolation in
being enabled to state that the person involved in this
fatal calamity, is not one of the well-Known, respect-
able, and wealthy ironmasters of the before-named
county, but is a shareholder in a comparatively small
joint-stock establishment. This event is the more to
be regretted, as it appears to have created great ex-
citement amongst the colliers and miners of the dis-
trict generally, who were only just recovering from 'hat
discontent and disquietude which had been generated
amongst them by some of the Chartist demagogues.—

ILL-TEMPERED GROOMS.—No ill-tempered
man should ever look after a horse for me, if he were in
other respects as good a groom as I could wish to have.
When you have a surly, bullying fellow in your stable,
your horses soon get terrified at the approach of any
one, jump from one side of the stall to the other when
told to " come over," and, instead of showing confi-
dence in the man who looks atter them, wilt perhaps
scarcely allow themselves to be handled without flying
about as though they expected a blow. Such a fellow,
though he be perfect master of his business, is totally
unfit to have the care of horses, gentleness being one
of the very best qualities a groom can possess. With
a bad tempered fellow in your stable you perpetually
find your horses with fresh scars in some part or other,
about the head commonly—or with swelled hocks
or knees ; and if you ask how they became so, you
will be told that ‘. the horse got loose in the night,"
or " he cut or bruised himself by rolling ;" whereas, if
you knew the truth, you would be well aware that either
kicks or blows with the pitchfork were the cause of the
mischief. If these disasters frequently occur.. try if a
change of servants will not prove a cure for them.. A
.
man who loses his temper with a horse, be he riding,
driving, or
injury, and at the
time of inflicting it does not consider
cleaning him, is almost sure to do him an
whether it will be great or not. I remember a short
time ago being on a long coach, and siting beside an
excellent dragsrrian, who handed me his whip, which a
good judge of couching had made a present to him. On
the handle were engraved the words " Keep your tem-
per ;" and it would be well if this motto were hung up
in every stable as a hint to grooms and their helpers.—

JOHN THOROGOOD. AND THE

LONDON SOCIETIES.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE LEICESTERSHIRE MERCURY.

Chelmsford Goal, Oct. 28, 1839.
SIR,—It is impossible to visit this place without feel-
inga stropg emotion of surprise and indignation at
that state of society which tolerates the perpetual im-
prisonment of John Thorogood, for refusing to support
a creed he does not believe.
For ten months has this enduring man been the in-
mate of the gaol from which I write, and in that period
has had to suffer heavy misfortunes, which would have
shaken the resolution of one who relied up:m his own
strength, and was not comforted by the principles of
holy truth.
Shortly after his apprehension his father died ; and
thus in a letter to myself he expressed his feelings on
the occasion :—" 0, Sir, the pain I suffered, when at the
death of one whom I hope to meet in a better world,
I found myself prevented from seeing him before his
departure, by being locked up in a prison,
and that for no crime ; but although the members
of the Poor Man's Church' hold my body in du-
rance, I trust my soul breathes the liberty of the sons of
God." His health has also given way under the long
confinement, and while I believe his resolution has
never for a moment quailed, his mental tranquillity
could not in such circumstances fail to be affected by
the bodily weakness in which a fever left him. His
health is now mercifully recovered, and in the consci-
ousness of sustaining principles which never forsook
him, is restored to his usual placidity of mind. The
" Poor Man's Church" does not do its work by halves ;
and it has managed pretty nearly to ruin the business of
the man whose body it holds in safe cu -tody. He was
in a small, respectable trade : beyond his means, h.' was
noted as the promoter of whatever was charitable or be-
nevolent in Chelmsford ; and the thanks of this parish
were on this score publicly voted to him ; but he is a
Church-rate recusant, and it is fitting h should be
ruined in his worldly matters.

The activity of the political Church has been effec•
wally seconded by the apathy of Dissenters, and the
" insufficiency" of their leaders. * * * is it c-edi-
ble to D ssenters in the country, who hear so much of
what their betters in London do for the advancement
of religious " Liberty." " Equality," and " Freedom,"
that during the wearisome 41 weeks of Thorogood's
imprisonment, he has not been visited, nor has a single
step on his behalf been taken by one of the men who
make up the " London Societies."

In these circumstances, it behoves us, who hold his
principles, and honour the steadfastness with which he
has defended them, to encourage him with our sym-
pathy, and to s.ep in between him and ruin.
I commend to the good men of Leicester a sub-
scripi ion alr,ady commenced here, which is about to be
opened on his behalf—not to pa) the demands of his ec-
clesiastical persecutors, but to cover some portion of
the losses which their persecution has entailed upon
him. lam sure I know enough of Leicester to believe
the appeal, when it comes, will not be in vain, and I
trust our friends in Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds,
Sheffield; and the large towns will show their sympathy
towards this excellent man.

I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
JOHN CHILDS.

(From the Ipswich Express.)

JOHN THOROGOOD. The Parsons. are treading
Thorogood into the earth—we say the Parsons, for he
is basely persecuted on account of the Church. He
has proved by his perseverance, that it is on principle,
and principle only, that he refuses to pay five shillings
and sixpence. " Honour)" one of Shakspeare's heroes
says, s' will greatly find quarrel in a straw," or some-
thing like. We think it was Judge Buller who said "An
Englishman must not be wronged of a blade of grass."
Five shillings and sixpence is a trifle indeed ; but to a
man who considers of it as a compromise with Satan
—a sacrifice to Moloch—a desertion of Christ—and
a tribute to Belial—it is no trifle. We do not agree
with Thorogood ; but we bow down with profound re-
spect to that adamantine soul of Faith—genuine Faith
—which sustains him in his fiery ordeal, and enables
him, whether right or wrong, to acquit himself to the
best of his judgment and power, of what he conceives to
be the only true service to his Lord and Master. For
this has he been imprisoned for Ten Months, and is liable
to be imprisoned for Life. Oh ! Shame ! Shame! ! upon
the Judicature, upon the Legislature, and upon the Ex-
ecutive of England. And this foul blot is stamped upon
us by and for a Church that confesses Christ !!! Repeat-
edly have we raised our voice in poor Thorogood's cause.
Feebly have we been responded to, even by Dissenters.
Pardament has been petitioned—the Queen has been
petitioned—but chiefly, we believe, through the zeal of
a gentleman on our establishment—and the man still
remains unheeded and uncomfortec , to rot, if it may he
so—an honest. man—in a gaol. We love the Queen—
we are devoted to her Ministry ; but a just man pining
in gaol for conscience sake, is we feel. and t arnot pal-
hate, an execrable, a damning fact, upon which we can
never reflect, without a pang of self-condemnation, for
supporting a Government and loving a Qua.n, under
whose eye such cruel injustice is perpetrat- d. Often
have we raised our voice—often have we thrown this
damning tact in the teeth of our Hierarchy, and no
clergyman has yet ventured to outrage humanity jus-
tice, truth, and religion, by attempting a reply.
A subscription has been opened on behalf of Thom-
good, and some of his friends have contributed liberally
In the list are the names of several Members of th,
Established Church ; and already we believe, nearly a
hundred pouncis have been received. We know not
whether the persecuted man will ever be liberated—he
.nay be left to die in gaol—or the Legislature may in-
terfere, and restore him to his family and friends ; but
whatever may be the result of his impr'sonmont, it is
the duty of all who love our holy religion, and profess
-o be followers of Hiin who regards with complacency
the cup of c,0(1 ~ater given to a necessitous brother—to
alleviate as far as possible his pres.'ni seff,riiii4s—to ;al
minister to the wants of his family, and in case should
be liberated, to see that he is not cast upon the world
pennyless and heartbroken.
