STATE CHURCH PER SECUTION.—
Five individuals, Messrs. Barrett, Edwards, Randall,
Spur, and Ball,are now lying in Botirnin gaol in the County of
Cornwall, and are suffering the treatment of common felons !
for what has been tsrmed a riot. Three of them are highly re-
Tectable men in a large way of business in the borough of
ruro, and they attended the sale of their property which had
been seized for Church-rates. In the cour,e of that sale there
was uproarious behaviour on the part of the crowd, and some of
the auctioneer's windows were broken. This gave the Tory
faction an opportunity for persecution, and one which they on
this oecaslon, as on all others, readily embraced. They insti-
tuted criminal proceedings against the five persons namedabove,
and obtained a verdict, hoping thereby to put a stop to all future
opposition to Church-rates in the borough of Truro. The
legal expenses of the prosecution, including a fine of '251. each
en three of the defendants, amount to about 3001., and an
appeal is now earnestly made to the Dissenting and Liberal
Portion of the community fur their pecuniary aid.
The Church party are not yet satiated. They have seized
this week upon the property of three other Dissenters for trifling
sums due for Church-rates, and they seem determined to foster
the deeply malignant feelings in which the recent trial origi-
nated. It is hoped that the public will nnirk their detestation
of such bitter animosity, which, instead of promoting the cause
?f religion, tends to bring discredit on the party that resort to
and on the principles they profess to espouse.
Subscriptions will ho received by Robert Michell, Esq.,
Treasurer ; at The Sun and the Pa.ri,:t offices, London ; the
Western Times office, Exeter; the Devonpart Independent
OEN', and in most of the towns in Cornwall.

COUNTY OF IkIIDDLESEX PAUPER
LUNATIC ASYLUM.
rsAt a BOARD of GOVENORS and DIRECTORS of the
'OR of the parish of SAINT JAMES, Westminster, held
n the 19th day of April, 13.39, present
Mr. GEORGE KEITH, Overseer, in the Chair, &c. &c.
It Itvbis unanimously resolved—
That a communication be forthwith transmitted to the Clerk
f the Peace, to be laid before the Magistrates of Middlesex
o the next. county day, expressive of the entire want of con-
fimee which this Board feels in the present Visiting Justices
, the County Lunatic Asylum at II:1mill, arising from the
40attious Statements put forth by them in their official reports ;
t-_fint their having withheld the accustomed annual statement of
..,,eipts and expenditure of the Asylum, and particularly the
reasuri-r's account, and from the enormous increase made in
le weekly rate of maintaitiance for patients since Michaelmas
at., amounting to upwards of sixty per cent., such increased
eh"P"' being, in the opinion of this Board, mainly attributable
the absence of all due vigilance, attention, and proper eco-
l'aty on the part of such Visiting Justices to the general
'anagetnent and the financial concerns of the Asylum.
Extracted from the Minutes of the Board.
By order, GEORGE BUZZARD, Clerk.
