would be derogatory not only to that Reve-
rend Prelate himself, but equally so to the
bench on which he sat ; not to give the Right
Rev. Prelate credit for the feelings he professed, would
be to suppose him capable of grossly abusing the pri-
vilege which he enjoyed of voting in their Lordships'
House ; it would be to suppose that he prostituted the
dignity of his sacred calling ; that he was not placing
himself on a level with, but below the level of those
worst of demagogues, who, through the agency of the
Press, or public meetings, were trying to excite public
feeling against the operation of that law, which had
been framed in a spirit most conciliatory to the poor,
which had been framed on the soundest principles, and
on principles which were best calculated to carry into
effect the objects for which it was intended." The charge
which the Bishop brought forward with so much ap-
parent sanctimony was, that at Macclesfield the paupers
in the workhouse were suffering the most grievous and
unprecedented hardship, in not being allowed to go
every Sunday to their respective'parish Churches. The
regulation on this point, he insinuated, was made by
' the Poor-law Commissioners, and was not merely an
innovation, but a gross abuse of their authority.
Now it turns out that the Commissioners had
nothing whatever to do with this matter, and that
whatever has been done was done by the local
guardians ; and, furthermore, the Bishop was in-
structed in that in which he ought to have required
no instruction—namely, that the refusal to allow the
paupers to go out of the workhouse on Sunday is
no new thing, but has been a very general practice at
all times. The Bishop thinks that it is attended with
good effects to make the rich and the poor meet
together in Church: Most certainly, were they to
meet there according to the ecclesiastical theory of
Dr. PHILPOTTS, and to the doctrine of the Gospel,
that is, on a footing of perfect equality, there would
be some good produced. But we should like to know
what notions of equality the poor must entertain if they
imagine they are on an equal footing with the rich, when
they look around them in the parish Church, and see my
Lord This, or Squire That, encased in a pew adorned
with velvet and gold, and well provided with lock
and key to exclude plebeian contact, as if it were
contamination, while the poor themselves are huddled
together in a heap by themselves, with every ac-
companiment of poverty that can remind them
of the difference between the rich and themselves ? We
would ask any rational person if this can be soothing
to the feelings of the poor—if it is not a thousand
times better both for religious edification, as well
as in every other view, that divine service
should be performed in the workhouse where the poor
have all the benefit. of social worship, without any of
those drawbacks on their devotion which the contrast
between their own humble station and the ostentatious
pomp of the aristocracy, must occasion elsewhere.
But the argument which the Bishop found it

This was an action for money had and received. The plea
was non assumpsit. From the evidence given on the trial
before Lord Denman it appeared that the plaintiff had insured
the defendant's vessel, the Clarkson, on her voyage from Hull
to Goole and back. The vessel sustained considerable da •
map by going upon Wilton Sands, and put into Hull, and an
application was made to the plaintiff, as charterer, to pay the
amount of the damage sustained. The plaintiff accordingly
paid the defendant a sum of 521./., and he had since ascer-
tained that the vessel had voluntarily gone upon the Sands to
avoid a storm, and that the defendant had sent out documents
to his vessel at Hamburgh, instructing him to call upo❑ the own-
ers of goods in the vessel and the owner of the ship fur their con-
tributions to the damage as a general average. The money
paid by the plaintiff having thus been clearly paid under mis-
take, and in consequence of the defendant's misrepresenta.
tions, he brought his action to recover it back. The Jury re-
turned a verdict for the plaintiff for the amount claimed, sub-
ject to the opinion of the Court upon a point reserved.
A rule nisi for a nonsuit or a new trial having been subse-
quently obtained,

MI. CRESWELL now appeared to show cause against the
rule, and contended that the damage sustained, not being by
the perils of the sea, but voluntarily, did not come within that
description of loss for which the plaintiff as underwriter could
be held liable, but must be charged under the head of " gene.
ral average." The-Learned Counsel cited several authorities
in support of his argument, and submitted that there was no
ground for disturbing the verdict.

EXCHEQUER COURT.-(THIS DAY,

UEDGER V. STEPHENSON.

This was an action upon a bill of exchange for 991. 18s.,
which was tried before Mr. Baron Parke, at Guildhall, City,
and a verdict was found for the plaintiff'.
Mr. WATSON now moved for a rule Nisi to set aside the ver-
dict, and to have it entered for the defendant. The note was
drawn by a person named Thompson, payable to the defend-
ant, by whom it was endorsed to the plaintiff. The question
in the case was whether the plaintiff had given the defendant
due notice of the dishonour of the bill; it ran thus :—" I am
directed by Mr. Hedger to inform you that the note in ques-
tion has been returned unpaid, and demanding immediate pay-
ment." The Learned Gentleman cited an unreported case
which had had occurred in the Court of Common Pleas,
Bolton v. Welch, in which the Court held that notice to this
effect was not sufficient :—" I hereby give you notice that your
note which became due yesterday has been returned unpaid,
and I request you will immediately transmit the amount."
The Learned Counsel also cited the case of Hartley v. Case,
4 Barnewell and Cresswell, and moved for an arrest of judg-
ment in the meantime.

Mr. Baron ALDERSON said a merchant would at once under-
stand the meaning of such a notice. " Returned" was now the
word most in use when speaking of an overdue and unpaid bill.
Mr. Baron PARKE granted the rule in consequence of the
decision in the Common Pleas ; had it not been for that de-
cision he would not for a moment have doubted that the notice
was a good and sufficient one.
Rule granted on both points.
