TOTTENII Ath-COURT CII A PEL.—With reference
to the report of a transaction, calculated to implicate the
Rev. John Campbell, the Minister of this chapel, which ap-
peared in our paper of the 20th ult., we understand that
the proceedings were not only caparic, but had reference
to a circumstance which was comparatively unimportant
with regard to the question at issue between the parties :
that could not come under discussion before the Magistrates
at Marylebone-office. We learn, however, that with re-
spect to what was actually stated on the occasion, several
important particulars are either incorrectly stated or wholly
omitted, and more especially the allegation that he had only
lcted in the proper discharge of his spiritual duty, accord-
ing to the order and discipline of a Dissenting Church,
which requires that the unqualified approbation
of the
Minister must be obtained before any one could either be
allowed to administer or receive the sacrament. We do -
not wish to enter into the merits of the question ; but we
understand that it was distinctly stated by Mr. Campbell
that the Reader was directed to act at the sacrament in a
manner Ivhiell he deemed a 'contravention of the above dis-
cipline. The whole affair 'comprises questions which can
only be decided by a superior legal tribnnal ; and the Act.
of Parliament, the-52d George 111., cap. 155, under which
the proceedings at Marylebbne-office took place, leaves
these questions precisely where they were, that Act having
been passed for the protection of Ministers and their con-
gregations, and not for the purpose of settling points Of
order between Ministers and Trustees. It gives us great
pleasure to add that the Rev. Mr. Campbell still continues
to preach to crowded .congregations,—/Worithw Paper,:

The following is an extract of a letter from an
Alderman of Hull :--" Our corporate affairs go on very
well. It is an important revolution, and it must in time
produce the best effects. No men dare to support or bring
forward, in open court, before the people themselves, any
but measures for their benefit, and for the benefit of the
town at large. We may differ a little on minor points, but
the whole will unite to work well for the general good.. I
should feel ashamed of myself, if I had been an old corpo-
rator, that the public should have found in the cellar of the
Mansion-house, three hundred dozen if wine, purchased at
their expens3! But this is only a small item of the enor-
mous sums of the people's money squandered and consumed
for the worst purposes. Adieu to all this ! .We will sell
the wine, and turn the money to better account. No more
feasting on the public money ; and no boasting, at the same
time, that we are the most wealthy and most respectable
part of society, as these gentlemen were wont to do. They
accuse us of being the scum of society ;" but I shall not, be
surprised if, in the course of a year flow this time, they,
even they, do not think differently of us." .
ALMS—CORRUPTION AT BA Tll.—unarity given
through the hands of parish officers is not the usual, nor the
proper mode of "distributing private bequests. It may by
such means go into the hands of most deserving persons,
but it is not very probable. The more. industrious and
hard-working labourer, to whom assistance for one or two
days might be important, is not the person a parish-officer
would be likely to relieve ; and such a person could not
receive relief through the hands of a parish-officer without
losing his right to parti.!ipate in the Parliamentary and Mu-
nicipal franchise. For persons truly charitable, for those
who do not give in order to publish their gifts, any mode
of charity which shall degrade or depress the condition of a
poor man is cruel ; to say nothing of the immorality it is
sure, under such circumstances, to cause. As humble
guardians of the public morals, we condemn the distribution
of private subscriptions—rr eagre and small as they may be
in amount—through the hands of parish-officers. Attempts
are making
by other means, and in other ways, avowedly
corrupt and illegal, to deprive many electors of their votes,
and to induce them to violate their present integrity of
principle. In every form of speech we shall denounce
such acts, and all acts that have the colour of them. lf
morals shall hereafter be debased among the electors, and
this city should by reason of its corruption be deprived oi*
its political privileges; our hands shall be clean ; cad we
are sure that the support we receive in preventing
such an event—grateful as it would be to the Tories—will
be powerful andhonourable.—Bat4 Guardian,

Prisoner—The tools are my own. The officer took three
sovereigns from me. I hope your Lordship will order him
to give them up to me.
The LORD MAYOR—Not a farthing.
The prisoner was then remande& He is twenty-four
years of age, and formerly worked to Mr. Giscard, and is
a watch-maker. The lady is forty years of age, has been
married to Mr. Giscard twenty years, and has a son by him
nineteen years old. She did not appear to be in the slightest
degree discomposed, and walked out of the Justice Room
in quite a tragic style.
After the ordinary business of the Justice Room was
terminated on Tuesday, Mr. Wheeler, one of the stock-
brokers who were plundered by Lakeman, applied to Al-
derman Harmer for a warrant for the apprehension of Lake-
man, who is believed to be now in Paris. Mr. Wheeler
repeated the particulars of the transaction which he had
with Lakeman on Friday, and produced the check which
that person had given to him in payment for the Spanish
and Colombian bonds. The check was drawn upon the
banking-house of Rogers, Towgood, and Co., and was for_
6,201/. 17s. 6d, Mr. Wheeler had had dealings with Lake-
man for about three months, and there never had occurred
previously the slightest irregularity. Lakeman had given
the check in the middle of the day, and, no doubt, expected
that nothing would be known of the state of his banker's
book till next morning ; for it turned out upon the exami-
nation of his wife before the Commissioners of Bankruptcy
that he had appointed to meet her at Kennington on
Friday night, where he, took leave of her on his way to
Dover.

Alderman HARMER said that it would be necessary to
have the evidence of somebody from the banking•house to
prove that Lakeman had no assets there when he drew the
check, in order to constitute the false pretence under which
I the securities were obtained.

Mr. Sharpe, one of the partners of the firm, deposed that
Lakeman had kept cash at the house 0f,.; Rogers, Towgood,

and Co. Lakeman had on the morning of Friday in the
bank 12/., and he drew in the course of the day a Check for

401., which was paid, so that he overdrew 281. This was
about two o'clock. When the large draft was presented
Lakeman had overdrawn. He sent his livery servant in

the course of the day for his box and papers, which he kept

at the banking-house:
The great stir was of course made the moment it was
found that Lakcman had decamped with the plunder.
Mrs. Lakeman was called upon, bu she denied that she

knew anything about her husbund, and it was after the
interview with the plundered party she met Lakeman at
Kennington. If she had not kept her appointment the proba-

bility is that her husband would have lingered in this country.
Mr. Aston, solicitor to Mr. Wheeler, stated that Mr.
Rothschild, the moment he heard of the robbery, wrote
off to ,all his great and extensive connexions on the Conti-
nent, inclosing the numbers of the bank-notes which had
been obtained at the Bank of England 'by Lakeman, and
giving other information which was likely to cause a resti-
tution of a great, part of the property. The portmanteau
of Lakeman had been seized, containing, by Lakeman's
wife's admission, a great part of the plunder. Lakeman

- . .
himself, however, was .not detained, bet had, it was be-
lieved, gone off to Paris from Calais.
Alderman ilmtraut signed the warrant, and expressed
a hope that, through the instrumentality of the British
Ambassador, the French authorities would give up Lzke-

man, or at least oblige him to disgorge the whole of the
money he had stolen. The Alderman then recommended

that Daniel Forrester, by whose advice Lakeman had
had been pursued to Dover, shou:'.l be employed to act.
Forrester was immediately sent over to Paris.

HA T TON- G ARDEN
Yesterday Inspector Miller of the N division of police,
attended at this Office to consult with Mr. Laing, ouchr
the following singular circumstances:—
It appeared that on Monday last Edwards and Poole,
the drivers of the Emperor and Dart Paddington omni-
busses, were charged before Mr. LAING with furious
driving, and causing the death of Mr. Leo:-..:rd Coleman,
of High-street, Camberwell, when they welt:
remanded
until Thursday (this day) in order that the Co.er, s Cot
quest might be held, and further evidence produced. ',The
• prisoners were accordingly taken by Waddington, tilt%
gaoler, to the New Prison, Clerkenwell,' and delivered
into the custody of the Governor, with the commitment,
laieh was signed by Mr. Laing'. On Tuesday night, how.
cv_!r, th.e Coroner's inquest was held, and the Jury returned
a verdict of ." Manslaughter" against John Edwards, the
driver of the Emperor, and Mr. Payne called the whole of
the witnesses together, and bound each of them over in the
sum of 401. to appear on Thursday morning next (this
day) at the Old Bailey Sessions, and then and there to
give evidence against John Edwards ; and the Coroner is-
sued his warrant of commitment for trial, and placed it in
the hands of the proper officer to execute upon the prisoner.
Edwards and Poole, however, could not be delivered up
until the term of the Magistrate's commitment had expired
—and in this dilemma the officers could not act upon the
Coroner's warrant, and it being impossible to prefer a bill
of indictment aga'nst Edwards until he was in custody on
the commitment, e.ey determined on making application to
the Judge, but inspector Miller resolved to apply to Mr.
Laing on the subject.
Mr. LAING inquired whether the fact of the prisoners
having been committed for rc-exatnination on Thursday had
been mentioned to the Coroner ? Inspector Miller replied
that ho had mentioned that fact to Mr. Payne, the Coroner.
Mr. LAING thought the proceeding very strange, and
said he had nothing to do with the Coroner's Inquest,
and that he was not to be interfered with in his. duty
as a Magistrate. He had remanded both prisoners, and
it was his province to investigate the 'matter judicially.
The Jury had only returned a verdict of manslaughter
againSt one of them ; but he might feel himself justified,
en further Inquiry, to commit them both to take their trial.
Inspector Miller intimated the verdict ofthe Jury, stating
that thirteen out of fifteen were unanimous as to a verdict
of manslaughter against Edwards, of the Emperor, and
that only two were in favour of that verdict against Poole,
the driver of the Dart, but the whole of the Jury were
agreed that the conduct' of the latter was inhuman in
not stopping when called to by the conductor, after the
,evident, and that they passed a vote of censure upon
him. The Coroner said that the power of Magistrates
was too limited as to the punishment of such felloWs for
furiously driving, and placing the lives of the public in
jeopardy. They were simply fined, when another was
transported for taking a pocket-htmdkercbief. Ho hoped,
