MEETING OF MIDDLESEX MAGIS-

TRATES, JAN. 14.

This afternoon a Meeting of Middlesex Magistrates was
held at the Sessions-House, Clerkenwell-green, for the dis-
patch of business. Owing to the letter of Benjamin Rotch,
Esq., laid before the Court at the last county-day, resign-
ing the Chair of the General hnd Quarter Sessions of the
Peace for the county, there was a very numerous attend-
ance of Justices from an early hour. Among the Magis-
trates present were, Sir Frederick Roe, Sir Chas. Forbes,
Sir James Williams, Sir Peter Laurie, the Dean of Car-
lisle, Mr. Sergeant Andrews, &c., &c.
Mr. Sergeant ANDREWS was unanimously called to the
Chair.

The minutes of the last Session were read and confirmed.
Mr. POWNALL rose and called the attention of the Court
to the followinc, resolution :—" That the letter of Benjami❑
Rotch, Esq., laid before the Court at the last County
Court, resigning the- Chair of
.the General and Quarter
Sessions of the Peace for this County be taken into consi-
deration." The Hon. and Learned Magistrate said it was
with the deepest regret that the error of their Chairman
bad in some measure thrown blame upon the members of
that Court ; at the same time, he felt confident there was
no Hon. Member on the Bench would call in question the
rectitude of Mr. Rotch's conduct, or the integrity of his
principles. He had, however,, received the following letter
from their late excellent Chairman, which, with the con-
sent of the Court, he would read :

" Lowlands, Jan. 13, 1836.
" My Dear Sir—Although I am fully sensible of the kind
manner in which my letter of resignation was received by the
Magistrates on the last county day, and of the generous feel-
ing which prompted you and others to support the course of
3ostponing the consideration of it—yet, influenced, as I am,
,y the same motives which first led me to tender my resigna-
ion, I shall esteem it a further favour conferred on me, if you

will, to-morrow, press the acceptance of it by the Court.
I address myself to you on this occasion, presuming that,
as a matter of courtesy, you will be considered in possession of
the Court on this subject.
Allow me to express, through you, the grateful remem-
brance I entertain of the continued kindness shown to me by
my brother
Magistrates in the painfulposition in which I
have been placed, rendered doubly p so, from the necessity I
have felt myself under, of resigning the honourable station
of Chairman.

" Believe me, my dear Sir, with great regard,
" Your faithful and obliged,
" BENJAMIN BOTCH, Jun.
,‘ To Henry Pownall, Esq., Spring. Grove."
