meat or a penny-worth of milk per diem to a stable-
man at the Queen's Mews has received an official in-
timation—as grave and solemn as official intimation
can be made—that he can no longer be allowed to
supply milk or cats'-meat unless upon the condition
that he and all his uncles, brothers, and cousins should
vote for Leader and Evans, for Hall and Whalley, for
the four Radical candidates in the City, for Hawes
and D'Eyncourt,for Harvey and Humphery, or for any
body else of the Ministerial party for whom he or
his relatives had a vote to give. The system thus
practised in the metropolis has been still more
rigidly and tyrannically enforced in the ports and
arsenals where the employs of Government constitute
an important part of the population. Never until now
did the inhabitants of Portsmouth and Plymouth, of
Chatham or of Woolwich, know what it was to live
under an iron rule. Hitherto they have been per-
mitted to believe themselves Englishmen. It was re-
s.erved for the Whig-Radical Administration to teach
them that they are regarded as slaves. But we rejoice
to say that there is one of our national arsenals which
has disdained to wear the ignominious chains with
which Ministers would have fettered it in the exercise
of the elective right. The borough of Greenwich, in
which Woolwich is included, has, in defiance of the in-
solent and corrupt dictation of the Government, given
to the new House of Commons an able and high spi-
rited Conservative Member in the person of Mr. Wol-
v.A.:ey Attwood. It was too much for the borough of
Greenwich to endure that Englishmen, earning their daily
subsistence by assiduous labour in the public service,
should be told by such faineans as Lord Melbourne
and Lord Minto that they must be turned adrift
unless they voted at their dictation. The tyranny
must indeed be grinding and bitter, at whiCh even the
Government arsenals revolt. But the feelings which
have decided the Greenwich election are widely dif-
fused, and the example of its noble constituency will
be extensively followed. In spite of the odious ty-
ranny and the profligate corruption of the Government
and its agents, the Conservative cause goes on conquer-
ing and to conquer. At the latest hour at which elec-
tion intelligence reached town last night the Conser-
vatives, as we have already said, had gained eight
votes, equivalent to sixteen on a division in the House
of Commons, leaving out of the question altogether
Mr. H. Palmer, Lord Teignmouth, and several others,
who, we believe, will be seated by Election Committees,
although the Irish O'Connell system of perjury
and fraud, now first introduced into England, has
for the present deprived them of their return.
We regret the effect of intimidation in West-
minster, inasmuch as it deprives, unless some re-
medy can be found, the' new House of Commons of
the presence and services of a man qualified above
most others to grace, dignify, and instruct any Legis-
lative Assembly. A remedy for this evil ought we
think promptly to be found. Is there no Conservative
candidate not yet elected, but who has made his seat
secure, who will invite Sir George Murray to step into
his place ? We hope that one such will be found.
And we do not hesitate to promise such a man that his
magnanimous self-sacrifice will be rewarded by the
spontaneous offer of a dozen seats. Westminster, is,
for the present the victim of Ministerial tyranny, and
corruption. But the first Parliament of the reign of
the Queen ought not therefore to lose the services of
such a statesman as Sir George Murray.—Morning

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF CHANCERY, JuLr 26.
MOSS U. BALDOCK.

The LORD CHANCELLOR gave judgment in this case. It
was a bill filed for the equitable performance of an agree-
ment alleged to have been entered into between Moss and
Baldock, for the division of the profits of a contract that
Baldock held from the barrack department, to execute some
expensive works at Dover and Hythe. Moss and Baldock
are both dead, and the suit was carried on by the executors,
those of Moss alleging that he was to have contract price
for the work done, and the executors of Baldock denying
this, but admitting such tradesman's prices as would
afford him a reasonable compensation for his trouble. His
Lordship observed that a reference must be ordered to the
Master, to take an account on the footing of the only ac-
count existing in the handwriting of Moss. which account
carried up the transactions between the parties to a certain
period. If that account was followed up his Lordship had
no doubt it would ultimately give Moss all that it was
intended he should have at the time the agreement was
entered into.
