THE SLAVE TRADE.
Lord BROUGHAM brought the subject of the treaty
with America for the suppression of the slave trade under
the attention of their lordships,
In reply to which Earl RUSSELL promised to make a
statement on the matter on Friday next.
'ACT OF UNIFORMITY AMENDMENT BILL.
Lord EBURY rose to move the second reading of this
bill, which he considered one of great importance. He
commenced by referring to steps he had taken on a former
occ.ision to obtain a royal commission to consider the
changes necessary in the liturgy, which for a period of two
centuries had remained without alteration or modification.
On the first night of the session he intrcduced two bills on the
subject of the form of religious worship, but as they had been
withdrawn he would not then make further reference than
to say that at the proper time he should be perfectly
ready to defend them. He was also fully aware of
the extreme difficulty and delicacy that surrounded
the present subject, especially as the terms of the Act
of Uniformity had remained so long without alteration.
According to the act as it at present stood, every clergyman
appointed to a benefice was called upon to make a subscrip-
tion that he would conform to the liturgy, and that
ho accepted everything contained in the Book of
Common Prayer. Even with respect to the pre-
sent translation of the Bible, ho thought that
such a declaration was too rigid, but with respect to the
Book of Common Prayer, ho was convinced that if the act
had to be passed over again not one of their lordships
would be found to vindicate such an enactment. _ _

The Bishop of LONDON gave the noble lord credit for
his intentions, and admitted that the bill was an improve-
ment upon its author's previous attempts at legislation. He
thought, however, that it was so important a matter to dis-
turb an act which had existed for two centuries, that he
hoped the noble lord would not divide the house upon it.
The Bishop of ST. DAVID'S also opposed the bill, but
suggested some less objectionable modification in the form
of the declaration which the clergy were required to make.
Lord LYTTELTON, whilst not opposed to a revision of
the Liturgy, thought the bill of too sweeping a character to
receive their lordships' assent. It would be most unwise
to abolish the only security a congregation now possessed
for the adherence of their clergy to the Book of Common
Prayer without providing some substitute.
The Earl of SHAFTESBURY pointed out the danger of
liturgical revision at the present moment, and recommended
that the bill should be withdrawn, in the hope that the
clergy themselves might be induced to concur in some safe
arrangement for giving relief to tender consciences.
Earl RUSSELL contrasted the present age, remarkable
for inquiry and the exercise of independent judgment, with
the period in which these tests were adopted, when men
banded together to obtain the emoluments of the Church
whilst not believing in the doctrines which she taught.
There were many men of Christian piety and zeal who in
these days were unable to subscribe to the declaration en-
forced by this test, and it was a great misfortune that the
Church should lose their services. The bill, however, went
too far in that it abolished the only standard now existing
in the Church by which the clergy were separated from the
great body of Dissenters.
The Bishop of OXFORD was of opinion that no greater
injury could be inflicted upon the Church than to allow the
clergy to receive her emoluments without declaring their.
belief in her doctrines. He had no faith in the assertion
that hundreds and thousands of young men were forced
into dissent on account of their objection to this test. The
noble lord who had introduced the bill was, in fact, trifling
with a great subject, and it was a mistake to suppose that
after a clergyman had subscribed the test ho was precluded
from changing his opinions. Full liberty of conscience
was allowed him, and if he saw cause to adopt views which
were contrary to the doctrines of the Church it was only
right that he should resign the office he held in it.
After a few observations from the Bishop of SALIS-
BURY, the bill was withdrawn.
The Leases, &c., by Incumbents Restriction Act Amend-
ment Bill, the Public-house (Scotland) Act Amendment
Bill, and the Local Government Supplemental Bill were
severally read a second time.
Their lordships adjourned at a quarter-past eight.

buildings distinct from those already existing or sanctioned
by Parliament, the estimates for the same should be sub-
mitted for the consideration of the house in a separate form,
and at a separate time, from the annual estimates for cur-
rent expenditure.
Sir G. LEWIS objected to the proposal, that, if carried
out, an additional class of estimates would have to be pre-
pared, and that many questions would arise as to what
were "new works or erections." The number of new works
was very small indeed ; and the Government had every de-
sire to present the estimates in. the form most convenient
for discussion; but he did not think any useful object
would be served by complying with the suggestions made.
The motion was wit hdrawn.
INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION.
Col. SYKES moved that in any system of education by
Government aid provision should bo made for teaching in
industrial schools ; and that, with a view to encourage
evening study by adult operatives, provision should be made
for supplying a teacher in such mechanics' institutes as
might apply for one.
The motion was opposed by Mr. LOWE, and ultimately
withdrawn.

next the rails. On reaching the distance Bloodhound headed
Mr. Parr's horse, and halfway up the pair were joined by
the favourite and Olive Branch, the four, joining issue at
the entrance of the stand enclosure, ran locked together to
the end, and finished one of the finest races seen for some
years. Olive Branch running the longest just landed her

ZEtna, Lady Evelyn colt, and Oak Apple, the lot running
in a cluster to the half distance, when Escape again ap-
peared in front, having /Etna at his girths. On reaching

A GAME CASE.

On Monday, at the Bromley police-court, before
a bench of magistrates, the hearing of a case,
" Weatherley v. Cowper," came on. It was a sum-
mons taken out by the prosecutor, charging the
defendant with having on a certain day committed
a trespass upon Chislehurst Common, in search and
pursuit of game. The defendant pleaded first, not
guilty; and, secondly, leave and license.
Mr. Gibson appeared for the prosecution; Mr.
Pearce (barrister) for the defendant.
Mr. Gibson, in opening the case for the prosecu-
tion, stated that he in reality appeared on the part
of Lord Sydney, the lord of the manor of Chisle-
hurst, who was the real prosecutor, although the
summons was taken out in the name of Weatherly,
who was ono of his lordship's watchers. The de-
fendant was a young gentleman, 18 years of age,
the son of a gentleman occupying a farm on Lord
Sydney's estate at Chislehurst, and the complaints
occurred under the following circumstances :—On
the 30th of April last, about half-past seven o'clock
in the evening, the defendant was on Chislehurst
Common with three dogs—viz., a greyhound, a
spaniel, and a retriever. He carried a stick in his
hand, with which he was striking the furze, with
the intention, it was alleged, of starting a rabbit;
and he was also encouraging his dogs, who were
running about amonst the furze, to all appearance
in search of game. At that time a gamekeeper of
Lord Sydney's named Norton, came up, when the
defendant left the common, and a summons was
then taken out for a trespass in pursuit of game
under the let and 2d Vict., entitled the Game Act.
The opening was supported by a boy named
Robert Clark and his uncle Norton. The boy
swore that the defendant was in the furze some
distance from the bridle road; that he had warned
the defendant off the common, but he had refused
to leave. In cross-examination he admitted that
when the defendant was warned off he did every-
thing he could to call his dogs off. Norton was
called, and swore that he saw the defendant beating
the furze, and calling his dogs towards a bush which
he had his foot upon. In cross-examination he ad-
mitted that no rabbit was caught. The defendant
had no gin with him. He had quarrelled with the
defendant's father some little time previous. He
had not used insulting words to young ladies whilst
they were with defendant.
The magistrates thought Mr. Pearce could not
go into those questions, because he had not given
them any notice that he was going to prove malice.
The defendant's case was supported by Mr.
Wheden, an uncle of the defendant, who resided at
Blackheath. He swore that on the day in question
ho was very ill, and went with the defendant to
meet the latter's father on his return frem town.
He took the dogs with them, and upon arriving at
Chislehurst Common, they sat down upon some logs
of wood in the road. Whilst there a rabbit
started into the road, and the dogs went after it.
The defendant went into the furze to call the dogs
off, when the boy Clark, who was beating the furze,
said " There goes the rabbit, sir." The defendant
said, Shall Igo after it ?" and upon the boy say-
ing he might, he put his foot upon the bush. He
had no sooner done so than Norton sprang over a
hedge, behind which he had been hiding,
an
in an
and ran
up the path towards the" defendant, cryingout
eager tone of voice, I have got you at last—
have I ?"
on the
been
It was contended that that was sufficient evidence
e
to prove that from previous ill-feelingb n
of Norton towards the defendant,
lurking about to find a ground to "serve him out,"
and that he had laid this trap out of malice and
spite.
The court having been cleared.
The Chairman, after a conference with his brother
magistrate of one hour f, nd ten minutes, said it was
the opinion of the majority of the bench that the
defendant did not leave home with the intention of
hunting game, but that he had committed a tres•
pass within the meaninr, of the Act of Parliament,
and fined the defendant ls. and costs.
Mr. Pearce hoped that finding destroyed the
aninzus furandi.
The Chairman--Certainly;
the bench.
The fine was immediately paid by the defendant,
who left the court with his friends.
