LA W INTELIGENCE.

COURT OF CHANCERY, JUNE 26.
The LORD CHANCELLOR sat in Lincoln's Inn Hall to-
day to hear appeals, but no case of the slightest public
interest came before the Court up to its rising at half past
four o'clock.

His Lordship will sit in the House of Lords to-morrow
(this day) and Friday, for the purpose of hearing the
further arguments in the part-heard appeal of Shore v. the
Attorney-General, and also to assist their Lordships in a
Committee of Privileges.

VICE- CHANCELL OR' S COURT, JUNE 26.
His Honour the VICE-CHANCELLOR was occupied the
greater part of the day with the further arguments in the
part-heard motion of Maddeford v. Austwick.

THE BANISHED COTTON SPINNERS.--...A.
meeting was held on Friday evening in the Bazaar, at
Glasgow, in behalf of the five banished cotton spinners,
! an
i d for the support of their wives and families. The ad-
-1 kniss;on was by ticket, price threepence each. The meet-
mg was pretty well attended, which shows the great in-
terest still taken by the working classes in the fate of these
1 men who were sacrificed in their cause. A petition to the
Queen for the release of the five cotton spinners, to be
presented by Lord Stanhope, was unanimously adopted.
REPRESENTATION OF GREENWICH. —.. The
Reform Association of Greenwich met specially on
Thursday evening 'last, to take into consideration the
future representation of the borough. A vote of thanks
was unanimously passed to Captain Napier, for his with-
draa ing in favour of Captain Dundas, and it was deter-
mined to invite Captain Dundas to come forward at the
next election as a colleague of Mr. Barnard to redeem
the borough from its present nonentity in the political
world.

The following Members voted with the Ministers on
the 20th, on Lord Stanley's motion, and did not vote
on the 24th :—Aglionby, Major ; Berkeley, Honour-
able G.; Bernal, (Chairman of the Committee);
Blewett, R. ; Brodie, W. B. ; Buller, E. ; Cave, R.
0. ; Chalmers, P. ; Conyngham, Lord A. ; Ellice,
Captain ; Euston, Earl of ; Evans, De Lacy ; God-
dard A. (not Whig) ; Halyburton, Lord D. ;
Handley, H. ; Macnamara, Major ; Molesworth,
Sir W. ; O'Connell, Morgan (Meath) ; Pryse, P. ;
Ripon, C. ; Sharpe, General ; Smith, John Able (Chi-
, chester) ; Speirs, Mr. ; Surrey, Earl of ; Turner, W. ;
Wrightson, W. B. In all 26.
On the contrary, the following gentlemen did not
vote with the Ministers on the 20th, and voted with
them on the 24th :—Andover, Viscount ; Ainsworth,
Mr. ; Bodkin, J. J. ; Brabazon, Lord ; Brockelhurst,
J. ; Brown, R. Dillon ; Busfield ; Butler, Hon. Col. ;
Chetwynd, Major ; Crawley, Samuel : Crompton, Sir
Samuel ; Davies, Col. ; Etwall, Ralph ; Fenton, John ;
Fitzgibbon, Hon. Col. ; Grey, Right Hon. Sir C. ;
Grosvenor, Lord Robert ; Langton, W. Gore ; Mar-
tin, J.; Staunton, Sir George (voted on the 20th against
the Ministers); Westenra, Hon. J. C. In all 21.
We shall learn something by now looking at the
Tories. The following Members voted for Lord Stan-
ley's motion on the 20th, and did not vote on the 24th :
—Ashley, Hon. A. ; Bailey, J. (Sudbury) Blakemore,
R. ; Bolling, W.; Cartwright, W. R.; Dick, Q.; Dun-
combe, Hon. W. ; Heathcote, C. (not Tory) ; Johnstone,
Hope ; Kelburn, Lord ; Marsland, T. ; Master, J. W. ;
Pollen, Sir J. ; Powell, Col. ; Staunton, Sir G. (a Minis-
terialist) ; Tennent, E. ; Tyrrell, Sir J. In all 17.
The following voted on the 24th, and did not vote
en the 20th :—Broadwood, H. ; Cantelupe, Lord ; Cope-
land, Mr. Alderman ; Cripps, J. ; Dottin, A. R. ; Fielden,
John ; Fox, G. S. ; Howard, Hon. W. ; Jervis, Swynfen ;
i',loneypenny, T. C. ; Pollock, Sir F.; Price, Richard ;
Rose, Right Hon. G. ; Sugden, Right Hon. Sir E. ;
Wilbraham, H. B. In all, 15.
The first thing that strikes us in this is the number
of Members who hang loose on their duty, and, on a
question of such importance as this, can be present one
day and absent at a distance of only four days. Non
the number of Liberals who so play with the impor-
taet trust confided to them is much greater than of
Tories. The latter amounting, including five quasi
Liberals to only 32, while the former amount to 47.
Of the real Tories, too, it may be remarked, that not
one of those who were present at either of the divisions
was absent from the other without a pair, except Mr.
W. Duncombe. The Hon. William Howard, Mr.
Swynfen Jervis, Mr. John Fielden, Sir George Staunton,
and Mr. Heathcote, who voted with the Tories on one
or other of the divisions, are usually reckoned amongst
the Liberals or Doubtfuls, and could of course,
being uncertain, find no person to pair with. But of the
Liberals, on the two divisions, no less (without including
Mr. Bernal) than nine were absent without pairs. The
plain deduction from these facts is, that the Tories are
much better disciplined, look after their party objects,
and work better together than the Liberals.
It must be noticed that in the division on the 20th,
two professed Liberals, Sir George Staunton and Mr.
G. Heathcote, voted for Lord Stanley, and Mr. God-
dard, a Tory, voted, by mistake it is said, against
him. One LibCral, Mr. Swynfen Jervis, voted against
Ministers on the 24th, for which his constituents at
Bridport will hardly thank him. We scarcely know what
to call Mr. Fielden, who also voted against them on
that day, but we presume his vote was given on the
principle that he would, like Mr. Cobbett, resist all such
grants.

Several Liberal Members were absent on both votes
without pairs, some like Mr. Benctt, Lord G.
Lennox, &c., probably being averse to the plan, and
others, like M. Prothero and Mr. Pease kept awa)
by sickness or family circumstances.
Before closing, we feel called upon to make an addi
tional remark. We read frequently such announce
moots as these :—" Mr. B— has renewed his pair with
Sir J. K—, till the 15th July." " Mr. and Mr.
have paired off for the rest of the session." But how
will these gentlemen perform their duties to their con-
stituents, should any questions be discussed on which
they both agree ? For example, two party men might
both agree on the Ballot., or an extension of the fran-
chise, or on some question concerning the Chartists,
and their absence would deprive their opinion of two
votes. They might have agreed, like Sir George Staun-
ton and the Tories, on the education question ; and two
such men having paired, would now have the painful
reflection that their absence from the House had giver,
a triumph to a principle, which their presence would
have defeated. Such compacts, while they prevent the
Members who enter into them from performing thou!
duty to their constituents—make the whole business
of legislation appear to the public as nothing better
than the squabbles of parties, or the contests of faction.
