two towns in Wales, we have hitherto received little definite
information with respect to the progress of the collection, or
whether any collection has been entered upon. Had every one
of those persons who claim the place if not the title of the
leaders of the people, instead of criminations of all men, and
nearly all things, directed a very little of their attention and that
of their hearers to the plain practical question of the national
rent, the moral contest on which the members of the Conven-
tion ace called to enter might have been placed in a much
more favourable position than it now occupies, or seems des-
tined to occupy."
This is a home-thrust at the leaders. They have got
souls quite above such paltry considerations as the Editor
of the Birmingham Journal alludes to. Alack, that the
same hands that so readily sign petitions should be so back-
ward in turning out the contents of their pockets ! As a
specimen of the criminations in question, we take the fol-
lowing, which the Weekly CT/ironic/6 the Sunday organ of
the Chartists, attributes to Mr. Bronterre O'Brien, one of
their leaders. Replying to Mr. O'Connell's eulogy of the
men " who constitute the real wealth, the strength, the life,
the virtue, and the energy of the country," he exclaims—
" It is a lie, ' a wicked, damned lie,' O'Connell. The
middle classes are not the real wealth, the life, the strength,
the virtue, and the energy of the country. They are, on the
contrary, the real poverty, the death, the weakness, the vice,
and the incubus of the country. The middle classes of Ire-
land are—what the middle classes are in every other ' civi-
lized' country on earth—they are a lying, cheating, griping,
grinding, exacting, accumulating, slave-driving, pinch-pauper,
water-gruelling race ; no more like what their Creator made
human beings to be than the crucifiers of Jesus Christ were
like the Redeemer himself. They are an insatiable and re-
morseless horde of conspirators against the rights and happi-
ness of the bulk of their fellow-creatures."
This is a caricature of a fraction of the middle classes
drawn lately by a band from whom better things might have
been expected. The Chartists seem to be .progressing
queerly.—Morning Chronicle.
Sir James Graham has some reason for exclaiming
" Save me from my friends." The Tory party in the
Town Council of Glasgow, in a luckless hour for the Right
Hon. Baronet, determined that the freedom of the city
should be conferred on him, and accordingly be has ob-
tained the freedom in question ; but there are few persons
who would have consented to purchase that honour at the
expense of so much damage to his character. Sir James,
though he be a repentant sinner, and ashamed of the ex-
treme, nay, wicked principles, he once advocated, cannot so
far direst himself of self-love as to listen unmoved to the
catalogue of his enormities furnished by Mr. Gray at the
meeting of the Council :
" Is it possible," said Mr. Gray, " that Mr. Brown—is it not
a standing living miracle—that he, a high Tory and Conserva-
tive, should come forward and move the freedom of the city, on
the principle which he had stated, to Sir J. Graham--to a man
who has supported all the doctrines of the ultra- Radicals—who
has praised the French Revolution—sanctioned the three glorious
days of July—who has spoken at elections in terms of rapture of
the tri-coloured flag and the tri-coloured cockade—who delibe-
rately proposed to expunge a portion of the national debt—
' who went into Parliament as one of the liberal Whigs of the
old school, supporting all the principles of Fox, all the prin.
ciples of Grey, all the principles, in fact, of those who, for
disseminating them, have been denominated ultra- Radicals ?
Do I state these facts against Sir James Graham without
foundation ? No ; I will not do him injustice in a single word."
This is pretty well for a beginning. But Mr. Gray pur-
sued Sir James with a relentless industry through his incon-
sistent career. He concluded his speech with the following
spirited appeal :
" You are preparing to confer honour on one who has been
an apostate and renegade from his political principles. I am
not here to question whether these principles were right or
wrong. But they are principles which he professed in former
years. If he was right then he cannot be right now. If he be
right now, he must have been wrong then. And will you con-
fer honour, not on a man who has preserved political consis-
tency during his life, but on one who, descended though he
may be from " John of the Bright Sword," has yet lost
all character for consistency, and is branded with apostacy
from his political principles. If so, take care that you be
not also branded as apostates and renegades from your prin-
ciples. Had be been a consistent high Tory, and were a
majority of the council, as I fear as they are, high Tories too,
I could have then understood and appreciated the honour in-
tended for Sir J. Graham ; but, as he is, what I have already
called him, a political apostate and renegade from Liberal

that the Queen's chief Minister in Ireland, for such
Lord Morpeth is, should publicly, before the whole Irish
people, lend his countenance to men who, a few days be-
fore that on which they became his honoured guests, had been
loudly proclaiming their determination to dismember the dtni-
[lions of his Royal Mistress ? The Precursors' Society has, it
may be said, reformed its constitution. But have its members
undergoneany similar transformation of character, or purpose?
Determined as much as ever to agitate for the Ballot,
for pauper suffrage, for permission to swamp the House of
Commons with Irish Papists, they have for the present
withdrawn their threatened alternative of Repeal. But who
believes that they are not Repealers in heart and purpose,
now as much as before they consented to accommodate
their friends of the Administration by a temporary change
of language ? The whole meaning of this change is, that
they think they may get more by suppressing the threat,
than they could, for the present at least, hope to obtain by
its means. And as an earnest of what is to come, Lord
Morpeth begins by giving them a dinner !—Morning Post.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF CHANCERY, Diee. 22.

THE RIVER DUNN COMPANY V. THE NORTH MIDLAND RAIL-

WAY COMPANY.

This was an appeal from the Vice-Chancellor, who had
refused an injunction to restrain the Railway Company from
proceeding with their works in the vicinity of the canal, and
in a part which was alleged to trench on the defendant's
towing- path .

The LORD CHANCELLOR gave judgment now, and allud-
ing to the case made for the plaintiff, said that the defend-
ants proceeded on two Acts of Parliament, the first of which
gave them power to diverge from their line within two
years, and the second of which they contended had the
effect of continuing the powers of the first Act. His Lord.
ship was of opinion that the second Act might bear the
construction the defendants put on it, and he, therefore,
did not think that under such circumstances he would he
justified in granting the injunction ; but still he was of
opinion that there was something for the plaintiffs to raise
a question ; and if they thought on advice that it would be
for their advantage to require it, he was willing to point out
the form of the issue which they might try. At present the
appeal must be dismissed.

There was an interim injunction granted against the
Railway Company, to restrain their meddling with the
ground until judgment was given on the appeal. This
injunction his Lordship also dismissed but reserved the
question of costs.

V ICE-CHAN CELL OR' S COURT, Dile. 22.

NYE V. MAULE.

Mr. KNIGHT Bauch appeared in support of a petition on
the part of the plaintiffs, which prayed an advance of a sum
of 500/. out of the estate of an intestate, to which Mr.
Mimle, the Solicitor of the Treasury, had administered, to
enable them to try an issue, which was pending, whether
they could make out their title as next of kin against the
Crown. A sum of 250/. had been already advanced to try
a former issue, which had the effect of narrowing the ques-
tion as regarded the Crown to the claim of the present plain-
tiffs only ; and an affidavit was now produced that the mo-
ney had been bona fide laid out in the law proceedings. Of
course the parties should undertake to account in any man-
ner the Court should require for the outlay of what it should
think proper now to advance.

His HONOUR made the order for both advances.
DEVAYNES V. NOBLE.

The petition of Mr. Sergeant Wilde and Mrs. Wilde,
prayed that Robert Garrett, the receiver of the estates of
the late Mr. Devaynes, should be removed, and a new re-
ceiver appointed, and that William Angus Devaynes, who
was the grandson of Mr. Devaynes, and R. Garrett, should
pay Mrs. Wilde the arrears of an annuity of 1,°3001., to
which she was entitled as the widow of Mr. Devaynes, and
that the new receiver should pay the several annuities
charged on the estate, and should pay the balance of the
rents and profits to William Angus Devaynes.
His Hommit made the order as prayed for payment, and
for the appointment of a new receiver.
MUNCH V. COCKEREL.

This was one of the many suits for breach of trust whici
have arisen from the loss of trust funds by the failure of
Palmer and Co., at Calcutta. The case was argued a
considerable time ago. His Honour decreed an account of
what was due to Mrs. Munch in respect to the balance in
the hands of Palmer and Co., at the time of their failure,
and that the amount should be paid out of the estates of
Sir Charles Cockerell and H. Trail, with costs, And, as
assets were not admitted by the legal representatives of
'.hose persons, an account was directed of their estates.

principles, and a recent convert to Tory doctrines and prac-
tices, the Tories of this council will earn for themselves a curi-
ous character, indeed, by voting such an honour. Can you
tolerate a renegade? Can you be satisfied with one who blows
hot and cold ?"

This is conferring honour with a vengeance. Why, the
very children in the streets must point with derision at the
unhappy victim, whom the Tories have, as it were, dragged
to a place of execution. Sir James will have cause to re-
member Glasgow to the last day of his life.—illornin,g

We make the following startling extract from the chief
leading article of the Leeds Mercury of Saturday
" The price of corn continues to rise with fearful rapidity,
The average price of wheat for the last six weeks (not merely
of good wheat, but also including the damaged grain) is
745. sd.! the average for the week ending December 14, is
78s. 4d.1 and yesterday wheat rose from 2s. to 3s. per quarter
in the Wakefield market I The price of corn has not been so
high for twenty years. It is now high time for Leeds and
all the other trading communities of Yorkshire and Lan-
cashire to commence a system of persevering exertion for
the abolition of the Corn-laws. Within six weeks Parliament
will assemble; and those six weeks ought to be diligently em-
ployed in the holding of public meetings and the preparing of
petitions."

We concur with our provincial Contemporary, that the
manufacturing classes must bestir themselves. The Session
of Parliament will soon be here—the people and their
Liberal Representatives, and the Press, cannot be better
occupied during the interval than in explaining and agi-
tating this important question. We assert that the
Corn-laws are a palpable violation of the fundamen-
tal principles of commercial legislation. The object of all
legislation is, first, to facilitate the means of ob-
taining subsistence by the people, and next to
facilitate the production of wealth. Both these ob-
jects are obstructed by the Coro-laws. They obstruct
the means of subsisting the population, and they trammel
the exertions of industry in producing wealth. By these
laws the British people are prevented from buying food in
the cheapest markets, and for what purpose? For the
purpose of compelling them to pay a dear price, artificially
created, to the domestic landed proprietor. The first con-
sequence is the creation of a startling difference between
the price of corn in England and the price of corn on the
continent. The second consequence is, that every operate
artisan, and manufacturer has to pay from 43 to 63 per
cent. more for his food, for the price of bread involves the
price of all other food, than the same class on the adjacent
continent. Now, the merest tyro in political economy
knows that the price of food regulates the cost of produc-
tion and the value of commodities. It is the principal
clement in the price of our staple manufactures. 'What
are the results ? The restricted comforts and enjoyments
of our population, and obstruction and deterioration of our
foreign trade. These results are so clear that " he
who runs may read" them. The commercial and
manufacturing classes in this country have been too long
supine and indifferent to the disastrous anomaly of the
Corn-laws, which by prohibiting the free trade in human
food, prohibits the free development of all other trades
in a commensurate proportion. It is time that they
should shake off this lethargy, and exert themselves to ob-
tain, if not the entire redress, at least some mitigation, of
an injustice which injures themselves as a class, while it
does not the slightest good to the aggressive class, and
inflicts a deep wound on the general prosperity of this
commercial country. They must think and act with energy
for themselves. The people never obtain justice unless
they are prepared to show that they deserve it—in con-
formity with the French adage, "aide toi et le ciel Caldera."
When the rustic in the fable prayed to Hercules to get
the wheel of his waggon out of the rut into which it had
sunk, his answer was, " First set your shoulder to the wheel,
and then pray for help, which, as soon as you deserve it, you
will obtain."—Morning Advertiser.
The Precursor Society, now that it is so far reformed
as to render it possible for men calling themselves the ser-
vants of her Majesty to maintain alliance with its members,
seems destined to higher honours than were ever conferred,
even by the most liberal of Irish Governments, upon any
of the numerous associations which have preceded it in the
annals of Irish agitation. Our Dublin Correspondent in-
forms us that on Thursday last Lord Morpeth entertained
at dinner a distinguished party, and adds a list of the
guests, from which we learn that the Noble Lord's
party was literally a Select Committee of the Precursor
Society, every man at table, excepting the Noble Lord
himself and the Under-Secretary of the Government, Mr.
Drummond, being Precursors. There were Mr. O'Con-
nell, the father of' the Society ; Mr. Purcell, its Chairman ;
Father Fore, one, we presume, of its chaplains ; Mr.
Morgan O'Connell, Precursor ; Mr. Daniel O'Connell,
n., Precursor ; Mr. Mahoney, Precursor ; Mr. 3.

skosmtieveroagsuseem
This is not exactly
the way in which Mr. O'Connell enlists his Precursors. In
respect to the slipping of the shilling, the
operation would
have to be reversed. We are not quite sure, how-
ever, that the Noble Lord and the Under-Secretary are
on this account the less likely to have been enlisted
unconsciously. But to be serious. Is it not monstrous

This was an action by the executors of a foreigner to re.
cover from the defendants, as executors of the lute Nathan
Mayor 'Rothschild, a sum of 3,1631., with 31. per cent. in-
terest for the same, which it was alleged had been deposited
with Mr. Rothschild, on his receipt, acknowledging the re-
ceipt of the same, and his liability to pay 3/. per cent. inte•
rest till the principal sum was repaid, There were several
pleas on the record, setting up a defence that the money had
been in fact paid by Mr. Rothschild to Mr. Henry Win-
chester, who was at that time Lord Mayor of London, in
consequence of a document having been produced to him,
Mr. Rothschild, addressed to the Chief Magistrate of the
city of London, and making some kind of disposition of his
property. The defendants considered they ought not to
pay the money to the plaintiffs without having the opinion
of this Court.

Lord DENMAN had no doubt in the matter, and a verdict
was therefore returned for the plaintiffs.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, DEC. 22.
GIBSON AND OTHERS V. BENNET.
This was an action of trover to recover the value of
' a bill of exchange, brought by the assignees of a bank-
rupt named Green. The defendant pleaded that at the
time of his bankruptcy Green was not lawfully pos-
sessed of the bill, and to that plea there was a repli-
cation, which raised the distinct issue to be tried, viz.,
whether at the time that this bill had been passed to the de-
fendant by Green, he (Green) contemplated bankruptcy. It
appeared in evidence that the defendant had been in the
habit of advancing various sums of money to Mr. Green on
short credit, and that in the month of August, 18:34, he ad-
vanced to Green 2051., in payment of which sum Green, on
the 3d or sth of September followinn sent him the bill of
exchange, to recover which the present action was brought,
and which was for 2051., drawn by Green on a third
party, and accepted by him. Previously to this transac-
tion Mr. Green had been insolvent for a considerable time,
and to a large amount, and on September 4th, having ap-
plied to his bankers, and failed to procure any further ad-
vance from them, he stopped payment. There was a
meeting of his creditors on the IRh of that month, and
on the 11th of October he became a bankrupt. A ques-
tion arose in the cause—whether this bill was sent to the
defendant before or after the 4th of September, when
Green first stopped payment ? In the bankrupt's book the
delivery of the bill was entered as having occurred on the
3d of September ; but his clerk stated that it had been so
entered by his direction, though the transaction really took
place on the sth. With regard to the main question, the
bankrupt's attorney stated that Mr. Green had committed
an act of bankruptcy on the 11th of October by his advice,
but that lie (Green) had expected to compromise the matter
with his creditors.
The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE, in summing up, told the
Jury that it was not enough for the plaintiff to prove that
when Mr. Green delivered to the defendant this bill he was
insolvent, nor that he did it in contemplation of a compro-
mise with his creditors : the plaintiff must satisfy them that
it was done in contemplation of bankruptcy ; and, looking
at the circumstances of this case, it was for them to con-
sider what might be the expectation of a reasonable man
under such circumstances. If they thought the bill had
been delivered in contemplation of bankruptcy, the delivery
was void, and their verdict must be for the plaintiff ; but,
if they came to the contrary conclusion, then it must be for
the defendant.

The Jury retired, and returned for the defendant.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, DEC. 22.
IN THE MATTER OF THOMAS HALLS, ESQ.
Mr. WOODROFFE applied in the case of Thomas Halls,
Esq., ex-Magistrate of Bow-street, who had been some
time residing within the rules of the Queen's Bench Prison,
for further time to file his schedule on which he would
appear for hearing. It appeared, from an affidavit of
Mr. Halls' attorney, that a creditor named Webb, a soli-
citor of Great Marlborough-street, had applied to the Court
under the compulsory clause, and on his petition a vesting
order had been made, by which order the estate and effects
were vested in the provisional assignee. By the same
if?rined that an au-

fourteen days. The vesting order was obtainedexierdr

exchange, and 'the required information to complete the
schedule had not been obtained. It was expected within
ten days, and the schedule would be filed. The Learned
Counsel moved that three weeks might be allowed to Mr.
