The bankrupt underwent a long examination this
morning. He said, I carried on the business of a carpenter
in Charles-street, Westminster, for boar or five years.
I lived in a house belonging to my father, who took my
furniture for the rent I owed him. I took two bills from
Mr. Scott for 5001. each, in May, 1848. Mr. Scott was
the acceptor, and a Mr. Morton was the drawer of both
of them. Morton was introduced to me by a man named
Shackell, formerly inspector of the detective force of the
A division of pohce, and a person named Falkner, whom
I had known for many years. I am not aware Falkner
was tried for forging railway scrip ; he was a gambler
at one time. He may have kept a gaming-house in
St. James's. Shackell is not now in tie police force.
I was in my own house, and in came Shackell and
Falkner, bringing with them Morton, whom I did not
know. Shackell said this "gent" wants money, and I
*aid what? Morton then presented the bills in ques-
tion to me, on which be wished to raise money. I
asked the terms, and who the acceptor was? Morton
said that the acceptor was a gentleman in the army,
and wished to raise some money upon them. I said to
Morton if you leave the bills inquiries shall be made
to satisfy me they are genuine. They then left the
bills with me, but whether both the bills were left or not
ray memory does not serve me. I then made inquiries
at Messrs. Cox, the Army Agents, through a
person named James Rodgers, a man who officiated
for me in my business. Rodgers has no other occupa-
tion; he had been about four years ago a bankrupt. He
now owes me 37/. 2s. Bd. for work. I afterwards saw
Morton next day, who came alone. He asked me if I
had made an inquiry. I said yes; and that I was satis-
fied it was correct. Rodgers was present at this time.
I then advanced to Morton 2001., which I took out of my
iron safe in my back parlour. It was composed of,notes
and gold, but I don't know tha numbers of the notes.
Morton then said he had another bill of the same
amount, and asked me if I could advance money upon
it. I said I could not. I saw him a week afterwards.
lie then brought a fat-simile of the other bill, and I
then advanced him 2001. on the second bill, I retaining
both the bills. The understanding was that I
was to have a gratuity of 201. or 30/. I
gave an I 0 U to Morton when I gave
him: the second 2001. ; the I 0 U was for 2001., making
it 500/. altogether. I destroyed that I 0 U afterwards,
when I got it again from Morton, through a friend of
Morton's, whom I had never seen before. I tore it up
in consequence of ascertaining that the bills had been
fraudulently obtained. I recollect meeting Mr. Scott
at. Hatchard's Hotel, in company with a person called
Smart, who said he was a surgeon, and he had been a
gambler, I believe. Smart fetched me from my own
house to Hatcherd's Hotel to have these bills discounted.
I had known Smart many years before. I knew he was
a gambler; he had lived in Charles-street, Westminster,
the same in which I lived. Smart kept a gaming-house
in Bennet-street, St. James's. Smart wanted to borrow
some money of me; I said I had none to spare, as I
had discounted two bills shortly before; he said he
would introduce me to a gentleman who would advance
me some money. Smart then fetched a fellow of the
name of Lawrence, whom I bad never seen before, and
Smart and Lawrence took me to Mr. Scott, at Hatchard's
Hotel. I told them I had advanced 4001. before to
Morton. Lawrence said nothing to me about his
" standing in." I would not have any conversation
with him. at all. Before I went in to see Mr.
Scott I swear I had no conversation with
Lawrence. A person named Abel was with
Mr. Scott; I had no conversation with Abel. He did
not take me aside and say he believed I had not given
any money fur the bills. He (Abel) said, " Scott was
as green as grass, and I can got 3001. or 4001. out of him
if you will let me stand in." I did not say it must be
less than either of those sums, for there were three or
four of us in the transaction. I said I would have nothing
to do with them, and asked to have my money back
again. I afterwards put the bills into the hands of Mr.
Jones, my attorney. Atter that meeting, Mr. Scott came
to me with an attorney named Draper, and the result
was that I was to give up the bills for 4001 on my
having a warrant of attorney from Mr. Scott. I gave up
the bills on this understanding. It was after this that 1
received the I 0 U back from Morton. I have dis-
counted about a dozen bills within the last three or four
years, for sums like 301,401, 501., and such like. There
is no entry in my books of the transaction of which I
have been speaking. I had another bill transactiou with
a Mr. Curzon for 5801. That was three or four
months previous to the affair with Mr. Scott.
Prescott brought me that bill from Mr. Curirm. I don't
know who Prescott was ; he was introduced to me by
Shackell. Prescott was the drawer of the bill. I be-
lieve he has since been tried for bill stealing. The Mr.
Cure m I have mentioned is the Hon. and Rev. Frederick
Curzon, of Mickle-Overy, in Derbyshire. 1 had pre-
viously lent Prescott 101., through the medium of
Shackell. Prescott came to me to get the bill of Mr.
Curun's discounted, saying it was all correct. The bill
was for 500/., and I gave 2501. upon it to Prescott,
which sum I took out of my iron safe, which was
built in my wall. The sum of 250/. was
in notes, which were afterwards traced to the Bank of
Ragland, with Prescott's name upon them. It was
agreed that I should send 150/. more to Prescott, to
Brussels, whither he said he was going; and I was to
have the remaining 100/. for my trouble. But I did not
send that sum for 150/. to Prescott. The bill was after-
wards restored to Mr. Curzon, and I lost the 250/. I had
advanced to Prescott upon it. This transaction
with Mr. Curzon did not appear in my
book. Since my bankruptcy my business has
been carried on by my father, I working
for him as a journeyman. My father is the assignee
under my bankruptcy. I once bad 12 or 14 workmen;
now there is no business at all, at least only as much as
to employ myself.
Cross- examined by Mr. STEVENSON, bankrupt's soli-
citor—My father was in this business for many years;
I was then his foreman; and when he gave up the busi-
ness I took it on the understanding that I was to allow
him 75/. a year. There was at that time about 100
customers, and about 600/. of good debts on the books
due to my father, which I was to receive. I pro-
ceeded to collect those deists, and collected between
300/. and 400/. in 1845, 1846, and 1847. My father
allowed me to retain the money when I had
collected it, and I was to make myself a creditor
for it. For three years I had a profitable business
of my own, bringing me in 600/ or 7001. profit, besides
what my father allowed me to collect and retain.

_ .
turning officer, inquired if any other elector had a
candidate to propose, and, after a silence of a few
seconds, only broken by the facetious remarks of some
of the crowd, declared Lord A. Lennox duly elected.
—(Loud cheering and some groaning.)
The crier made proclamation accordingly, but the
time-honoured "Oyez, oyez, oyez I" was uttered in
such a chilly, inarticulate voice that the crowd hooted
and laughed at the aged functionary.
Lord A. LENNOX proceeded to address the electors,
observing that the only drawback he felt to the proud
position in which he was placed was the recollection of
how short a time had elapsed since they were repre-
sented by one for whom he entertained feelings of
sincere regard and friendship.— (Cheers, and cries of
" Bravo !") The straightforward and honest conduct
of Mr. Goring in private life gained him the respect
and esteem of all who had the happiness to be ac-
quainted with him. lie was a liberal landlord—
(Hear, hear)—ever their steady friend, and that not
only to his equals but to the inhabitants of the poorest
cottage—(Cheers, and cries of " Bravo !")—as well
as one who in his public capacity boldly asserted and
acted up to those principles which on the hustings he
pledged himself to support.—(Cheers.) To have been
selected to succeed one of so high a character was
most gratifying to his feelings, and agreeing with him
in the opinions he had expressed through life, he (Lord
A. Lennox) would endeavour, however humbly, to
follow his example.—(Cheers, and a groan or two.)
He (Lord A. Lennox) was a strenuous supporter of
the Established Church of this country—(Cheers)—
and he was strenuously opposed to the admission of
Jews into Parliament. He was proud to call himself
a Protectionist.—(Cheers and groans.) He advocated
protection not only to the farmer but to all classes of
British industry—(Cheers, and cries of " Gammon,"
particularly from the one-eyed boatman)—and he was
opposed to what was called free trade, which was
really free trade to the foreigner only, at the expense
of our countrymen and of our highly-taxed farmers.—
(Hear, hear, and groans from the man with the
herring and the boatman.) (A man in the crowd,
" Lower the rents."—Cheers.) Lord A. Lennox—
" Shut your mouth, and PIE open mine." Great
laughter followed this rejoinder, and the Noble Lord
continued—The farmer could not now afford to pay
or employ so many labourers, nor could he afford to
give them as good wages as under the old system of
protection.—(Voices, " Lower the rents.") Nor could
the labourer afford to live as well or expend as much
money with the shopkeepers.—(Cries of " Lower
the rents," followed by cheers and hisses.) While at
the same time free trade increased the poor-rates and
diminished the funds out of which they were to be
paid.—(A man in the crowd, " Gammon," cries of
Turn him out.") The cases of the shipbuilder and
the shipowner, as well as of the colonial interest, were
similar. By the repeal of the protective duties and
this alteration of the old navigation laws the industry
of this country has been deeply injured.—(" No," and
cheers.) And who had been the gainer ? The
foreigner, who kept the profit and obtained all the
advantage, while he paid no taxes and paid but little
wages. The English shipowner, on the contrary, who
must pay heavy taxes and give higher wages, would
be driven from every market of the world by the
foreigner, who was untaxed, and fed his men on food
on which no Englishman could exist.—(Cheers.) The
British shipbuilders were also to be sacrificed to the
same system. What was to become of them and of
their dependents ? They were told, indeed, by the
free• traders to emigrate—to quit for ever their native
land, and never again to see the country they had
enriched by their industry and intelligence.—(Hear,
hear.) He unhesitatingly declared himself in favour of
retracing their steps—(Cheers, and some hisses)—of
placing duties on foreign produce, and thereby giving
protection to British industry, without which this
country could not continue great or prosperous,
happy or contented.—(Hear, hear.) They might
depend on it, so long as he was their Member he
should advocate protection.—(Bravo!) He was at a
loss for words to express how sensible he felt of the
honour they bad conferred on him by electing him
as their representative—(Oh, oh !)—and he would
only conclude by saying ho trusted sincerely the
confidence of the independent electors—(The one-
eyed boatman—" Oh, there's no independent electors
at all !" Cries of " Turn him out.")—of Shore-
ham and the Rape of Braniber would never be nels-
placed.—(Loud cheering.)
The meeting was then dissolved, after the custo-
mary vote of thanks to the returning officer; the
orange banners were collected in advance, the band
followed, playing tunes of which much of the music
seemed to be in the predicament of that in the frozen
trumpet of Baron Munchausen ; the procession of
orange and blue riband and stavebearors reformed, and
the Noble Member and his friends left the platform
and went into the town, the proceedings not having
occupied half an hour altogether.

The Comniissioners say that they have been parti-
cularly desirous to ascertain the opinion of the clergy
of the Established Church of England; but the
number is so great that they have found it impracti-
cable to collect the opinions of all the individuals
composing that body.
The Commissioners, however, express themselves
thus :—" We are satisfied that a great diversity of
opinion prevails among the clergy of the Church of
England upon both questions. We think that very
many of them do not consider such marriages to be
prohibited by the law of God; but that the majority
of them object to them either upon this or upon other
grounds."
" The various bodies of Dissenters in England do
not appear to entertain the opinion that these
marriages are interdicted by Holy Writ; or that they
are in themselves reprehensible.

Surely the great body of English Catholics will not
suffer such a work as this, describing the rulers, the
clergy, and the poor of England before the Reforma-
tion, in the very words of the monkish historians them-
selves, a work which may be regarded as a record of the
evidence on behalf of Roman Catholicism as
against the Reformation, to be discontinued when
a plan is comp'eted and the materials arranged. As a
body they are rich as religionists, they are peculiarly
attached to their faith, and we trust that they will
come forward and enable Mr. Mac Cabe to devote the
whole of his future time to the completion of the
work he has undertaken, of giving to the world "The
History of England, as written in the very words
used by the Monkish Historians themselves." The
present volume is compiled on the same plan as the
former one ; in every instance, the monkish historian
quoted tells his own tale in his own words, and
whenever Mr. Mac Cabe thinks it necessary to make
any comments, those comments are invariably made
in the form of notes. The quaint phraseology of
these monkish writers is occasionally excessively
piquant, and their descriptions are admirable. We are,
however, inclined to look upon them as news writers
rather than historians, as men who wrote all they
heard, without taking much pains to ascertain whe-
ther or not the story which they recorded was or was
not gossip ; and who rather preferred a narrative
well spiced with the supernatural and miraculous to
a plain statement of facts. Their works, however, con-
stitute the only records that we have of the early
history of our country, and we certainly prefer the
plan pursued by Mr. Mac Cabe, of giving all
that they have written, and giving it in their own
words, leaving it to the reader to judge from internal
evidence what is fact and what is gossip, to that
which has been punned by the historians of the
Eclectic school, who leave nothing to the judgment
of the reader, and are sometimes inclined to bolster up
a false position, by suppressing or cooking the evidence.
Every biographer conceives an affection for his hero.
—every historian acquires an almost superstitious
reverence and veneration for his authorities • we are
not, therefore, surprised at finding that Mr. Mac Cabe
entertains a much higher opinion of the accuracy of
these monkish historians than that which we have
ourselves expressed. It is evident that Mr. Mac Cabe
places implicit reliance not only on their honesty of
purpose, but on their critical acumen ; that he has a
firm faith in all they say, and therefore is he the man
of all others the best adapted to do ample justice to
their works. Again we urge upon the Catholic body,
and upon the nation at large, the necessity of enabling
Mr. Mac Cabe to complete this labour which he has
undertaken, of concentrating into a focus all that is
known of our early historical traditions. It is a
national object, and national resources have often been
wasted on objects less worthy. At all events, we

" The opinion prevalent among the Jews is, that

In a very able pamphlet published in 1846, by,
George A. Crowder, Esq , on this subject, a corre-
spondence with the members of the Right Reverend
Bench is unavoidably laid before the public. A perusal
of this correspondence will amply repay the reader.
Mr. Crowder, in summing up the result of this
correspondence, observes—" That in the face of the
direct, positive, and unequivocal declarations of the
Archbishop of Dublin, and the Bishops of Llandaff
and Meath, and of upwards of 500 clergymen of the
Church of England, there must be added the nega-
tive but equally unequivocal testimony to the same
purpose atibrded by the silence of the Archbishops
of Canterbury and Armagh, and the Bishops of
London, Lincoln, and Rochester, on the scriptural
part of the question, while all of them (except the
Bishop of Lincoln) give opinions against the measure
on other grounds, it is impossible any longer to
doubt that marriage with the sister of a deceased
wife is not prohibited by the law of God."
The Bishop of London certainly expressed an ad-
verse opinion in his speech in the House of Lords,
though in that speech he carefully abstained from
declaring his opinion that such marriages are for-
bidden by Scripture, albeit, and most truly marvel-
lous it is, that as a Bishop, it was the only opinion
asked of him or required from him. Talk, indeed, cf
the Dissenters bringing at every opportunity the
dignitaries of the Church into contempt, it is their
own acts on too many occasions, their own neglect of
or direct evasion, as in this instance, of positive
duties L. whilst the ,age we live in is getting far too
enlightened to be thus trifled with any longer.

FATAL OCCURRENCI AT CARNARYON..--The in•
quiry into the cause of death of the late Ellis Jones was
resumed on Monday morning, and again adjourned after
an investigation of some hours. At the third meeting
of the Court the wounded policeman, Robert Evans, was
capable of giving evidence. His testimony was to the
same effect as that of his senior police officer, M'Naught,
namely, that there had been neither quarrel nor struggle,
nor wrestling between him and the deceased; but that
he himselt fell into the water from accidentally receiving
a blow from the stone which deceased threw; that being
rendered insensible by the blow, he knew nothing of the
fate of the deceased except by hearsay; but remembers
that M'Naught was standing five yards from himself
when be received the blow. Understood that deceased
bad died in endeavouring to save him, in the manner de-
posed to by M'Naught. Two medical gentlemen de-
posed that the wound on the brow of deceased must have
been in all probability inflicted by a blow against the
edge of a buttress to the pier, or one of the steps lead-
ing to the water, as he was in the act of plunging in to
save the junior policeman. They were decidedly of
opinion that no blow with a stick, stone, or fist could
have inflicted the wound, which, though net of itself
sufficient to cause death, had doubtless precluded the
unfortunate man from being able to swim to shore. Se
veral witnesses disposed that M'Naught had used every
effs)rt to save the deceased ; and there being nothing
whatever to warrant the idea of ill feeling between them,
the jury, after two hours' deliberation, returned a verdict
of " Accidental death."

with comfort to himself, and consistently with the
duty he owes his family, this most valuable national
work, and to render available to posterity the fruits of

BOW-STREET.--(THIS DAY.)
Two respectably•attired young men, named Wilson
and Dixon, who describ, d themselves as chemists' as.
sistAnts, and a merchant's el,rk, named Coliier, were
charged with riotous conduct in the streets.
They were observed last night, or, rather, early this
morning, passing up Bow-street, arm-in arm, in the
manner of "out-and-out young gentlemen," singing and
shouting most vociferously; and upon being told by a
policeman that their vocalisation was more noisy than
vusica.l, they became very abusive, and made use of
sarcastic remarks at the expense of the force in g,-neral.
The constable, however, was proof against the bitterness
of their insinuating that he was " to be bought for a
glass of brandy," and good-humouredly rcquest.'d them
to go home; but it is easier to give advice than take it,
which the fate of these youthful sparks ultimately proved.
Instead of doing as the officer wished, they passed
through Broad-court, went down Long-acre, and re-
turned into Bow•street again, where they resumed their
efforts at singing and shouting, and soon afterwardsjthey
were safely deposited iu the station-house.
The sive first prisoners did not dispute that they were

POST-OFFICE ARRANGEMENTS.—The following in-
sfruction has been issued by the Postmaster-General to
the Deputy Postinasters:—Numerous errors having been
made by postmasters in the manner of forwarding the
letters which arrived yesterday morning (Sunday the
23d instant), it must be distinctly uuderatood that the
dispatch to London on Saturday is to be confined ex-
clusively to stamped forward letters. No registered
letters, unpaid letters, nor letters prepaid by money
must be sent up, nor any letters addressed to London
or the London district, except those for the chief officers
of the Government. - All foreign, colonial, and ship
letters, landed at the outports, must of course be for-
warded as usual.
METROPOLITAN COMMISSION OF SEWERS.— Yester-
day a Special Court was fixed to beld, for the purpose
of ratifying the appointment of Mr. Foster as engineer,
but the requisite number of members not being present
at one o'clock, the Court adjourned till the llth of Ja-
nuary. An ordinary court was then held, and some
formal business was then transacted.

lIIGII TIDES AT YARMOUTII.--nie high spring
tides of the last two days, increased by heavy gales of
wind from the north-west, have laid under water the
towns of Great Yarmouth and Lowestoft, and the whole
of the surrounding country for miles. The lower flats
of most of the houses are flooded to the depth of from
three to six feet, and, as a necessary consequence, there
has been a great destruction of property. The quay, the
market place, and the streets of Yarmouth, are all inun-
dated. The water over the bar at the mouth of the
haven is twelve feet deeper than usual. Eleven vessels
have been driven on the sands, and it is feared must go
to pieces. Nor has the inundation been confined to the
immediate vicinity of the coast. The waters have ex-
tended far and wide over the low-lying pasture lands
around. A bridge near Lowestoft has been swept away,
and the railway trains have been unable to proceed
eastward beyond Reedham, eleven miles from Norwich,
where the lines to Yarmouth and Lowestoft meet.
Every exertion has bean made to save property and lite,
but the loss which has been caused must be Tory serious
ii eiteut, and will ee felt merely.

THE ARMY.—COMMISSARIAT.—Since the promo-
tion of 1846, two commissaries general, seven deputy-
commissaries-general, and fourteen assistant-commia-
saries•general have died, and all these vacancies remain
unfilled, with the exception of one deputy. commissary-
general, who, in 1847, was promoted to the rank of

IMPORTANT QUESTION BE-
TWEEN THE ENGLISH AND PORTUGUESE
GOVERNMENTS.
(From the Times Correspondence.)
After the expulsion of Don Miguel, more than one
of the noble families restored to Portugal with Don
Pedro sought to replenish their coffers by a marriage
with Dona Maria Luciana de Oliveira, the only
acknowledged daughter of M. Manoel Joze de
Oliveira, a wealthy old bachelor, with whom she was
residing in Lisbon. M. Oliveira, however, consulted
his daughter's inclinations, and on the 3d of June,
1834, gave her in marriage to Mr. George Croft, a
British subject, with the premise of a dowry of six
contos of reis in jewels, and 80 contos, or 20,0001.,
to be invested in lands, or in the English Three per
Cents., besides 5,0001. to Mr. Croft.
Subsequent to the marriage, M. Oliveira paid the
5,0001, delivered part of the jewels, and paid interest
upon the 20,0001., but delayed the investment under
different pretexts, until quarrels ensuing, Mr. and
Mrs. Croft commenced, on the 15th of May, 1840,
an action at law to compel him to acknowledge and
make good the dowry.
Upon conclusive evidence, and M. Oliveira's solemn
confession that he had freely and spontaneously pro-
mised the dowry, he was in every sentence, during a
tedious litigation, condemned to pay it. It also passed
in judgment that he had failed to prove his allegation
of having promised the dowry upon the condition of
Mrs. Croft renouncing all future rights; and that she
was, on the contrary, proved to be his daughter and
heiress, without his enjoying any privilege of fidalgo
or other position which could exclude her from the
inheritance after his death.
To arrest the execution of the sentence M. Oliveira
put in several pleas, and, amongst others, set forth that
the dowry required the previous registration, or
insinuarao of the administrative authorities, upon
which a small tax is levied ; but he was ultimately
cast upon every point, as shown by the accompanying
copies of the sentence and tencoes, or written opinions
of the three judges in the Supreme Court, who gave
the definitive decision on the 31stof March, 1843, con-
firming the previous sentences, and condemning M.
Oliveira to pay the balance of jewels, besides the
20,0001., and balance of interest thereon—" under the
condition that the dowry of 20,0001. shall not be held
valid without the registration of any excess over what
the daughter may inherit from her father's effects, in
conformity with the law of July 21, 1797."
Having given the preceding extract from that part
of the sentence which relates to the registration, it is
only necessary further to refer to the written opinions
of the three judges upon which it was founded, in
order to clear up any doubts, since this point has now
become a serious question between the English and
Portuguese Governments. The first judge writes, on
the 3d of March, 1843—" The dowry in this case
is a marriage portion (profecticio) given by a father
to his daughter, which requires no registration
except for any excess over her share of
the inheritance, and as until now it has not been
proved that such excess exists, the appealer (M.
Oliveira) has net established the necessity of previous
registration in arrest of execution, and, therefore, the
sentence must he confirmed, condemning him to in-
vest the 20,0001., with the declaration that the said
dowry, in respeet to any excess, shall not be valid
without the registration."
The second judge writes on the 24th of March,
1843—" All exceptions taken in the appeal have been
victoriously refuted, and they all disappear under the
consideration that the dowry is given to a daughter
who has the right of inheritance; it is, consequently,
props r to declare that this dowry is to be registered
when it shall be opportunely known that there is any
excess."
The third judge writes on the 31st of March, 1843
—" I agree with the others."
Upon these unanimous opinions the sentence was
issued by the three judges, and, having passed in
judgment without further appeal, became the law of
Portugal, at a time when Mrs. Croft was the only
heiress apparent of her father; he, however, subse-
quently married in September, 1844, at the age of 75,
and after being created Baron of Barcellinhos, died on
the 11th of January, 1847, leaving a widow and two
infant children to share the inheritance with Mrs.
Croft.
Such are the chicanes and delays of Portuguese
law proceedings that the execution of the sentence had
not been fully carried out at the time of the Baron's
death, but he had been compelled to pay 93 contos of
reis into the public deposit of Lisbon for the security
of Mr. and Mrs. Croft. Upon his death, and as soon
as the inventory and valuation of his estate showed the
probability of an excess, Mr. and Mrs. Croft made
the necessary declaration to the competent adminis-
trative authorities, and presented the sentence
for registration, which was refused, upon the
ground that laws of 1642 and 1775, referred to in
that of 1797, " required them (the administrative
authorities) to have interrogated the donor within
four months as to his having given the dowry freely,
and not under compulsion," dc.c. This refusal of the
regi-tration has now been held good by a section of
the Council of State,which reports that independent
of the free gift of the dowry proved in the courts of
justice, the laws already cited determine " that the
donor shall declare before the magistrate, or admini-
strative authority, if he is agreeable that the dowry
be confirmed," which cannot now be done after his
death.
The Council further states in its report, " That no
conflict has arise' between the judicial and admint
strative authorities by the refusal of the registration,
since the sentence provides that the dowry was not to
be valid without the registration of any excess which
might be proved over Mrs. Croft's share of the inhe-
ritance ; and that the judges had not by that provision
intended to impose upon the administrative authorities
the duty of admitting the registration against the
express determination of the law, "1. e., without their
having interrogated the deceased donor.
The Portuguese Government has now confirmed
the report of the Council of State by a Royal decree,
notwithstanding the remonstrances the English
Chargé d'Affaires had made against the power of the
administrative authorities to interpret laws which are
held to have been legally interpreted in this case by
the judicature.
On one side it is asserted that the usual formalities
of the law necessary for the registration of dowries
four months after the date of deeds executed by the
donors had been superseded by the long pending ju-
dicial process, and that the tour months in this case
could not be counted from the time of the marriage
in 1834, since no deed was executed then ; that the
law only admits public instruments to registration ;
and that a verbal promise could never be a subject of
registration; that the sentence of 1843 overruled
this very objection, and that taking, as it
did, the place of a public deed of sdttlement, it
prescribed a future date for the registration, by
making it dependent upon the donor's death and the
division of his estate; that this final sentence
resulting from a lawsuit in which the donor had been
heard, and always confessed the dowry, suspended the
usual interrogatories of the administrative authorities;
and that consequently the sentence did, in fact, im-
pose upon those authorities the duty of registering
the dowry after the Baron's death, if it should be
found to exceed Mrs. Croft's share of his estate.
On the other side the report of the Council of State
does not set forth the epoch at which it holds the
donor ought to have been interrogated by the admi
nistrative authorities, but that as the sentence so
clearly precludes 1834, it is supposed that the ground
taken is four months after the date of the sentence in
1843. At that time, however, the donor was not
dead, and there was no known excess to register in
the terms of the sentence; nor could there be any
excess until after his two infant children were born
to divide the inheritance with Mrs. Croft. In short,
the lawyers say that no safe ground can be taken but
"that a compulsory registration was prescribed by
the sentence ;" they say that all others lead to an
absurdity, and they certainly appear to do so.
In conclusion, it is well to note the effect which the
Royal decree just issued has in this case. For this
purpose, it is necessary to note that the late Baron of
Barcellinhos had the power to will away as he pleased
a portion of his estate, called " his thirds," and that
the rest had to be divided in certain proportions to
his widow and three daughters, including Mrs. Croft.
The Baron left his thirds also to his widow, but as
the law makes such thirds first answerable for any
excess of dowries previously given, and Mrs. Croft's
share of the estate is not equal to her dowry, the
refusal of registration prevents her receiving that
balance, which will thus remain with the widow. I
hear that the widow will now attempt to have in-
cluded in Mrs. Croft's share of the estate the sums
paid by the Baron in jewels and interest upon the
20,000/., also the 5,0001. given to Mr. Croft, and in
this case the question now at issue may involve a loss
of upwards of 10,0001. to Mr. and Mrs. Croft.

REMARKABLE 111ETIOR.—The meteor which, as
noticed in our last, was seen here between five and six
o'clock on Wednesday evening, was observed at the
same time at Edinburgh, as appears from a communica-
tion from Professor Forbes to the Courant. He says its
course was from W.N.W., towards N. (true), and main-
tained an elevation of about 20 deg. above the horizon.
It described an are of from 60 to 70 deg. in azimuth, in
a space of time of about 15 seconds. Its apparent speed
was therefore very small, compared with any similar
body. From first to last it was followed by a luminous
train, and the main body of the meteor, before it disap-
peared, divided itself into two, the one part following the
other at some distance. All these characteristics, with
the exception of the latter, correspond with the appear-
ance of the phenomenon here.—Perth Paper.
Rovad. ACADEMY OF Mustc.—The board of pro-
fessors, consisting of Messrs. Potter, Bennett, Elliot,
Lucas, Goss, and Howell, appointed to examine the
candidates for the King's Scholarship, sent in its report
to the committee on Monday, and the following were
elected:—Mr. W. G. Cousins, and Miss Martha Street.
