SlR,—Finding in the Times newspaper of the
29th instant a letter signed " An Observer," in
which, after exhibiting much soreness of feeling at
the recent appointment of a Gallant Admiral to the
Governorship of Greenwich Hospital, a paragraph
is added (by way, I suppose, of addenda) attacking
the present Secretary of the Admiralty, Mr. More
O'Ferrall, because, forsooth, in his capacity of
Secretary to the Board of Admiralty, he has to
convey to naval chaplains, as well as to all
other officers, the appointments that a mi-
nute of the Board of Admiralty have
made. From the paragraph in question
it appears that " the head and front of the offend-
ing" is, that the Secretary of the Board of Admi-
ralty is a Roman Catholic, or, in the words of the
paragraph, " a Roman Catholic Secretary nomi-
nates the Protestant Clergymen to her Majesty's
ships ;" and goes on to say, " may we not soon ex-
pect to see Roman Catholic Priests on board our
ships ?" Now, Sir, how stands the fact ? By the
printed instructions established for the Government
of her Majesty's Navy by an Order in Council, it is
expressly provided that " Chaplains shall be ap-
pointed by warrant from the Lords Commissioners
of the Admiralty only ; but no person shall be
warranted as Chaplain who shall not be a Clergy-
man of the United Church of England and Ireland in
Priest's Orders ; and who shall not have produced
such certificates of his good conduct and fitness for
the station as their Lordships may direct." At the
end of the Navy list is to be seen the following re-
gulation, under his Majesty's Order in Council of
the 31st of July, 1835, for the admission of Chap-
lains into the Naval service :—" No person shall
be appointed a Chaplain in the Royal Navy who
shall not have been regularly ordained deacon and
priest of the United Church of England and Ire-
land, or who shall not have been. graduated at the
University of Oxford, Cambridge, or Trinity Col-
lege, Dublin ; or whose age shall exceed thirty-
five years, or who shall hold any benefice
with cure of souls, or who shall not produce
testimonials from two beneficed Clergymen of his
good moral and religious conduct, or who shall not
have been examined by some competent person to
be appointed for that purpose by the Lords Com-
missioners of the Admiralty, and be reported by
him to be in every respect a fit and proper person
to fill with respectability and advantage
,to his
Majesty's service the situation of Chaplain.
Now, Sir, this Order in Council was passed
under a Whig Admiralty, and I imagine any un-
prejudiced mind would consider it a sufficient gua-
rantee against the introduction of Roman Catholic
Priests into her Majesty's Navy, which is pretty
broadly insinuated, if not absolutely asserted in the
paragraph in question. The vigilance of the Naval
Administration does not terminate here, for at the
end of the Navy List will also be found an Order
(circular), dated 11'ay 23, 1827, from his Royal
Highness the Duke of Clarence, when Lord High
Admiral, to this effect ;—" His Royal Highness
the Lord High Admiral, having appointed the
Rev. Samuel Cole, D.D., the Senior Chaplain of
Greenwich Hospital, to superintend the issue of
religious books to the fleet, and to correspond with
the several Chaplains of his Majesty's ships on the
subject of their clerical duties, it is his Royal
Highness's direction to the Captains and Com-
manding officers of his Majesty's ships, that they
do not suffer any tracts or religious books to be
received on board the ships of the fleet,
except such as shall have been approved
and pointed out by Dr. Cole ; and that
they order their respective Chaplains to
correspond with Dr. Co!e on all matters relating to
the religious instruction given by them to the ships'
companies, and generally regarding their sacred
duties." This order not having been cancelled re-
mains in full force, which not only places all naval
Chaplains with regard to their clerical duties under
the " Chaplain General of the Navy" (the Senior
Chaplain of Greenwich Hospital)lbut likewise exer-
cises a censorship over the religious books that are
to be introduced into ships of war ; nor can " An
Observer" be ignorant that it is the Chaplain Ge-
neral of the. Navy who has to examine all candi-
dates for the situation of Naval Chaplain, and that
it is not until a certificate has been produced before
the Lords of the Admiralty of the candidate having
gone through such order that their Lordships (and
not the Secretary, who only countersigns it) can
issue a warrant to the candidate.
I am not now about to ask whether "An Obser-
ver" is a clergyman of the Established Church, is an
Irishman who was brought up at Trinity College,
Dublin, or is a Chaplain in her Majesty's Navy. It
is pretty clear if he be the two former that his prin •
ciples are those of Orangeism or intolerance ; nor
am I intending to inquire whether he has recently
received a comfortable appointment from the present
Whig Admiralty ; but if it should so hap
pen that he be a Naval Chaplain, and came
into the Navy as such when the Right. Hon.
John Wilson Croker was Secretary, and Lord Mel-
ville First Lord of the Admiralty, he perhaps is
aware that the nomination of Naval Chaplains was
claimed by Mr. Croker, and conceded by Lord M.,
as his (Mr. C.'s) patronage, in order to enable the
then Admiralty Secretary to keep his seat for Tri-
nity College, Dublin ; and hence the introduction
of several Irish Chaplains iuto the Navy ; this oc-
curred previous to the year 1827, when we had a
Government par excellence, the Secretary of the
then Admiralty insisting on this as his share of the
patronage, and for aught " An Observer" knows
the Admiralty circular order referred to, of the 31st
July, might have been imperatively called

[We saw the observation of the Times alluded
to by our Correspondent, but it is so replete with
ignorance, as well as folly, that we deemed it un-
worthy of remark. The Secretary of the Admiralty
makes no appointments whatever, except, perhaps,
those of his own clerks. All the appointments are
made by the Lords of tha Admiralty, who, and not
the Secretary, are responsible for them. !VII.. More
O'Ferrall cannot appoint a boatswain's-mate, much
less a Chaplain.]

MR. BRADSHAW'S SPEECH.—The Tories of
London are trying to escape from the consequences.
" Mr. Bradshaw," says the Times, " never uttered the
sentiments, nor anything like the sentiments, attributed
to him by Whig malignity !" But those sentiments were
published in the Kentish Gazette—a Journal which glo-
ries in being the leading Tory Journal of East Kent,
which sent forth his speech with every mark of approval
—the " loud cheers"—the " deafening applause"—and
all the other terms by which the assembled Tories could
be described as testifying their entire approbation and
delight, were duly introduced into the report—a refer-
ence to which will show that in proportion as the sen-
timents and language rose in violence, the animation
and applause of the company became more boisterous,
until the welkin rang with their " deafening cheers."
The Tories of the provinces are not so chary. The
Editor of the Liverpool Mail, whilst he rebukes the
London Standard, Times, and other journals for haw,-
ing fire, says—" The speech of Mr. Bradshaw, at Can-
terbury, has apparently given a firmer and bolder tone
to the addresses of Conservative and constitutional
Englishmen in other parts of the country. Neither the
Times nor the Standard (continues the Mail) has yet
approached with any fervency the real question. The
Queen's only true and faithful subjects (says lie) will
protect her against her false and perfidious friends ; and
while they establish her throne in dignity and honour,
and minister to her happiness and peace of mind, &c.
Whatever the Queen may think, or shall be permitted
to do by the men and women who environ her, or by
the Ministers who make Windsor Palace their hotel,
what we have said the Protestants of these realms are
prepared and resolved to do. The nation is now most
effectually roused."_

ENGLISH V. FOREIGN HUNTING.—There is
Something in fox-hunting peculiarly English. A run
with Monsieur is very well for a make shift—a sort of
bribe for the longing appetite, till the more fastidious
palate of the true British sportsman can be satisfied
with the more substantial fare of old England—but it
lacks the roast beef bottom—that earnest and reckless
gallantry—that every thing which can give a zest to a
five-barredgate, or render a quick-set rasper delicious.—
Chelmsford Chronicle.

The MASTER of the ROLLS next delivered judgment
upon the information in respect of Henry Preston's
charity. This information prayed for a declaration that
the defendants were possessed of certain property de-
vised by the will of Henry Preston, in trust for the uses
expressed in the will, and not for their own use, subject
only to the payment, for the benefit of the Company,
of two yearly SUMS of 26/. 13s. 4d. and 131. 6s. Bd. ;
that it might be declared the great hall of the Company,
with the appurtenances thereto, were a part of the
charity, and that a scheme might be settled by the
Master for the future administration of the rents and
profits of those estates. The will under which this re-
lief was sought was dated the 00011 of February, 1434.
The defendants a:leged that they had a title in them-
selves to the property, and his Lordship, on a considera-
tion of the facts, and having regard to the law at the
time, was of opinion that the property in question was ob-
tained by the Company under an arrangement with Sir J.
Cornwall. His Lordship observed that 400 years had now
elapsed since the transactions in question took place,
and it was difficult, if not impossible to explain every
particular of the whole transaction, but he was of
opinion that after so long; and uninterrupted a
usage, anything that was ambiguous ought to be
taken in favour of the Company's title. Being there-
fore of opinion, that by the grant of the subsequent
Statute of James the First, the estate became the
property of the Company, the information must be dis-
missed with costs.

Mr. TEMPLE, on behalf of the relators, observed that
the defence which the defendants had made, and which
had succeeded, was different filmy the defence given
before the Charity Commissioners. Probably his Lord-
ship would, therefore, make a different order with re-
spect to costs.
The MASTER of the ROLLS had read the answer
carefully, and was of opinion the information must be
dismissed with costs.

In the course of the day the Lord Mayor, attended
by the Aldermen, Sheriffs, and other civic functionaries,
entered the Court, and invited his Lordship to the en-
tertainment at Guildhall.

BAIL COUR7; Nov. 9.
(Before Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE.)
STOCKDALE V. HANSARD.

Mr. KENNEDY applied in this case on behalf of the
Sheriff of Middlesex, for a rule to show cause why the
execution of the writ of inquiry issued in this case
should not be stayed until the Court shall further
order. This case was one of so much importance, that
he had felt it necessary to apply to the full Court ; but
Lord Denman said that they could not depart from the
usual practice, and referred him to this Court. There
was an imperative necessity upon him to make the mo-
tion now, as the Sheriff had been directed to execute
the writ of inquiry by next Tuesday ; and he accord-
ingly did so on the affidavit of a most respectable gen-
tleman, the Under-Sheriff for the county of Middlesex :
and from that affidavit his Lordship would see that his
client was placed in a position of the utmost danger and
delicacy. That affidavit stated, that since the proro-
gation of Parliament, the plaintiff, Mr. Stockdale, had
commenced an action against the defendant ; but that,
though it was a different action from that in which their
Lordships' judgment bad been given, the subject-matter
of it was precisely the same, and the parties were the
same ; it was brought for the same libel, and the circum-
stances were identical. In that fresh action judgment had
been allowed to go by default ; and a writ of inquiry had
been lodged at the Sheriff's Office, with the warrant from
the Queen, commanding the execution of it by the 12th
November. The affidavit recited the various resolutions
of the House of Commons, and, with the rest, that
which declared that the House of Commons should hold
all persons who in any way assisted in any proceedings
against their printer for the publication of documents
published by their authority guilty of a breach of the
privileges of that House, and amenable to their dis-
pleasure ; and further, it recited a notice which had
been served at the Sheriff's Office by the solicitors of
Mr. Stockdale, acquainting the Sheriff that, in the event
of his taking any steps or proceedings against their
client, an application would be made to the House of
Commons on the subject as soon as it met. These were
were the main facts upon which his application rested.
His Lordship would see what imminent peril was hang-
ing over the head of his client, and he prayed of him to
interpose the equitable jurisdiction of the Court and re.
lieve him from that position. The Sheriff was an officer
of the Court, and liable to attachment if he refused to
execute the orders of the Court ; but he was also an officer
of the House of Commons, who had important functions
to discharge with relation to that Assembly, and was
amenable to punishment by them. Why was the Sheriff,
the Ministerial Officer of the Court, to be placed in such a
situation? If he refused to execute the writ he was liable to
imprisonment at the suit of the plaintiff: and boy/ long was
that imprisonment to last ? Until he paid the debt
and costs ; that had been distinctly decided in many
cases. The damages in this case were laid at 50,000/. ;
was the Sheriff to pay that ? But, even supposing the
damages had been moderate, say 1,0001., every boil),
knew that Mr. Stockdale's object was to try the right,
and action upon action would be brought, in all of
which the Sheriff must suffer. He expressed no opi-
nion upon the judgment of the Court of Queen's Bench
in the last case ; it might have met with the approval
of a majority of the people of this country ; but there
was a most influential and powerful part of the com-
munity which had expressed its disapproval of that de-
cision. The House of Commons had declared war
against that Court, and a Member of that House, who
was also one of the greatest ornaments of the bar, had
seen to what results that collision must lead, and had
not hesitated to tell the House of Commons that they
must employ the military force in support and in main-
tenance of their privileges. What dangers then sur-
rounded his client? What force had he, were he de-
termined to execute the writ, emanating from that
Court, which would enable him to do so ? Would he
have the police ? How could he tell that the Govern-
ment might not choose to support the House of Com-
mons, and then the police would be under their con-
trol? Must he resort to his power of calling upon
all persons above the age of fifteen to assist him in the
execution of the Queen's writ ? He (Mr. Kennedy)
implored his Lordship to consider the frightful conse-
quences which was likely to result from urging the
Sheriff, at present, to execute the writ ; he implored
him to interfere with the equitable authority of the
Court, and prevent those scenes of confusion and blood-
shed which had disgraced every part of the country,
from being enacted in the metropolis, which bad hi-
therto, and which he prayed to Heaven, might still
escape. He might be asked for what length of time the
execution of the writ should be stayed, and therefore it
was that he had appended to his motion the words
" Until the Court shall further order"—that was to say,
until, by the adjustment of the dispute by a conference
between the two Houses, or in some other way, their
Lordships should be in_ a situation to issue some orders
which would not involve an innocent party in such great
and imminent peril to his person and property.
Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE said he was obliged to go
to Chambers at three o'clock, and wished to know whe-
ther the Learned Counsel would soon conclude his ar-
gumont.

...
Mr. KENNEDY said that he should be obliged to oc-
cupy his Lordship's attention for a considerable time
longer ; and he would, therefore, if his Lordship pleased,
resume his argument on Monday.
The further hearing of the case was accordingly ad-
journed to Monday, and the Court rose shortly after-
wards.

subsequently said Mr. Halifax, a banker, had
made a
claim. He produced a list of causes in which
the name of Hart and Halifax appeared.
He said
he was going to " Court," but Mr.
Halifax had
relinquished his claim, and there were only a few
"forms of law" to go through before he was put into
possession •of his "estate. He further
said he

did not know where to find the aforesaid Fox. He
had no solicitors, nor did he expect 100/. He l'ad
been found as a person who would " hear of something

Mr. COOKE asked him why he had produced the
cause list to Mr. Wood.
The insolvent said it was a bit of waste paper, and
having the name of Hart and Halifax on it, he, pro
duced it to prevent being sued. He was not aware of
his pretensions to an "estate."

Mr. COOKE said Mr. Wood had kindly retired from
asking a judgment.
Mr. Commissioner BOWEN advised the insolvent not
to say a word to any other person about his " estate."
Mr. Wood had consented to his discharge ; but if he
again indulged in the statements he had made, and was
brought before the Court, he would find himself in an
awkward position.
The insolvent was ordered to be discharged
On Saturday Thomas Kingston, whose case was be-
fore the Court a few months ago, and which had been
adjourned at the request of the insolvent, who had de-
clined to swear to the truth of his schedule, came up
to be heard on a new one. His debts were about
1,4001., and his assets were very small.
He was opposed by Mr. COOKE, on behalf of several
creditors, on the ground of gross fraud.
Mr. WoonaoFFE supported the insolvent.
The case appeared to excite considerable interest
amongst various tradesmen who had been victimized by
the insolvent, who described himself as a hay-salesman
and potato-dealer. He had obtained possession of four
houses in Crispin-street, Spitalfields, the property of a
gentleman named Gray, under an agreement, which
houses he pulled down, sold the materials, and
pocketed the money, under which agreement he had
agreed to erect other houses in their stead, represent-
ing that he should come into the possession of 24004
at the death of his brother, which turned out to be all
moonshine.

Mr. Pritchard, an upholsterer, claimed 421, for fur
niture furnished to the insolvent, who occupied pre
mises in Panton-square, Haymarket, which were for
prompt payment ; but owing to the insolvent informing
him that he had met with unforeseen losses,- he con-
sented to take his bill of exchange at four months,
which, when it became due, was dishonoured.
Mr. Lawder, a livery-stable-keeper, claimed 52/. 10s.
for a horse and phaeton, for which he took a bill of ex-
change at four months. which had been dishonoured.
Mr. Pickford, a builder, claimed 3331. for repairs of
houses in Stacey-street, Lincoln's-inn-fields, of which he
had only received a few pounds.
Other creditors were similarly situated. The hear-
ing of the case occupied the Court the greater part of
two days.

Mr. COOKE prayed a judgment of two years.
Mr. WOODROFFE replied in mitigation.
The COURT, after going through the evidence, said
that the insolvent mast re-advertise, and that when his
case was ripe for judgment, he would be remanded for
a considerable time.
The case was then adjourned sine die.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MARLBORO UGH- STREET.

Mr. Joshua Hands, lessee of the Kensington tolls,
summoned Mr. George Cloud, proprietor of a number
of omnibuses plying from and to the Bank and Ham-
mersmith, for having refused to pay the toll of six-
pence, demanded one Sunday night, in October, for the
passage of one of his vehicles.

Mr. George Cloud, junior, admitted that the toll
had been refused, and he justified the refusal on these
grounds :—For the public accommodation on Sunday
evenings his father sent from Hammersmith, as far as
Piccadilly, a number of extra omnibuses. As soon as
the omnibuses had got rid of their passengers, the con-
ductor was directed to remove the plates and take the
vehicles back home, without carrying or offering to carry
passengers. Now, as the Act under which his father
had been summoned, expressly stated that public car-
riages carrying passengers or goods for hire or reward
should only be subject to the toll, he contended, as the
plates wese removed and the omnibus on its way home
empty, that it was no longer a public carriage, and,
consequently, was not liable to the toll.

Mr. Hands contended, that whether full or empty, an
omnibus was invariably liable to the toll, especially if,
during any part of the day, it had carried passengers for
hire and reward.

Mr. DYER asked if one journey was considered to be
from Hammersmith to the Bank and back, or whether
Hammersmith to the Bank and back again was consi-
dered two journeys?—Mr. Hands replied two journeys,
for which the vehicle each time paid duty. Mr. Cloud,
jun., denied this to be so. When the Sunday evening om-
nibuses were on their return from Piccadilly empty, they
were neither liable to duty or toll. The way the duty was
ascertained, was leaving a ticket every journey, except
on those occasions when it was not intended to carry
passengers. Mr. Hands said if Mr. Cloud did not pay
duty for all journeys made by his omnibuses, there was
something wrong. He was an omnibus proprietor him-
self, and he knew that the duty under all circumstances
was to be paid. The only way to get off from paying it
when the vehicle returned empty, was (according to
Mr. Hands own words) " by moralising' the Commis-
sioners."

Mr. Cloud, jun., said the question had been tried
about a twelve month back at Queen-square, and the
decision was in his favour.

Mr. Hands said he had tried the same question over
and over again, both at Worship-street and Hatton-
garden, and had invariably gained his point. The last
decision in his favour was given by Mr. Bennett.
Mr. DYER said it was desirable to have the benefit
of unanimity in magisterial decisions. As the case
stood at present he was inclined to differ from the view
asserted by Mr. Hands to have been taken by his col-
leagues, and he should like, therefore, to be in posses-
sion of all the circumstances, and he would take time to
consider his decision.

The omnibus conductor was called in, and he stated
he had received general orders not to take back pas-
sengers on the return journey on Sunday evenings. The
reasons was that the number of passengers seldom paid
the expenses of duty and toil. He admitted, however,
if a dozen passengers applied at once before he started
on his return he would take them.

In the course of conversation Mr. Dyer was told that
if the toll was paid at Kensington-gate it cleared Ham-
mersmith-gate, and vice versa.

Mr. DYER said he had paid both tolls hundreds of
times, and he had invariably been told by the collectors
that one gate did not clear the other. The next time
he passed that way he should tell the collectors his opi-
nion of their honesty.
The final decision was postponed to next Saturday.
