For some days past a great degree of excitement has pre-
vailed in the extensive and populous palish of St. Pancras, in
onseyucncc of the a►bitrary proceedings manifested by the
Chinch Trustees toward those persons who have not paid up
the arrears of their Church-rates, and on Friday, the 22d ult.
a distraint was levied for the arrears of a Church-1 ate made on
the 13th of June, 1836, by the Church Trustees acting in the
parish, without any election or appointment by the parishioneis
on the premiies in the occupation of Mr. T. Mur,Thy, during
absence from home. The article seized upon was a maho-
gany two flap table, valued at 305., whereas the rtnount for
which the seizure was made was only 19s. 6d. The warrant
authorising the levy was signed by A. Smith, Esq., and on
Mr. Murphy's return home he found the property had been ab-
stracted, and an inventory, of which the following is a copy,
left by the broker :

" To Mr. Thos. Murphy, No. 11, Edward.street.
" Take notice, that I have this day distrained the goods and
chattels mentioned in the above inventory, for the sum of
pounds fourteen shillings and pence, due for arrears
of Church-rates, and base secured the same at No. 1,
Howland-mews East, in the parish of St Pancras, and un-
less the said arrears, together with the charges of making
this distress, are paid within live days from the date hereof,
the same will be condemhed and sold according to law.
—Dated Dec. 22, IS3S.
(Signed) JOSEPH 11. TURNER, Broker.
No. 16, Tottenham-street, Fitzroy-square.
Witness, (Signed) JouN WARAIAN."
Mr. Murphy has issued' a very lengthy address to the pa-
rishioners upon the subject, declaring his intention never to
pay the impost of Church-rates in any other way. The pto
seeding has created a great deal of interest, as it is under-
stood that several other inhabitants are is danger of a similar
proceeding against them.

named Ann White and Mary Collyer, were included in the
same indictment, but ham been let out on bail, and did not
appear. In this case, wiich was not concluded yesterday
when we went to press, the jw.y found both prisoners Guilty.

NEW COURT.
John Henry Nixon, aged 30, a person respectably attired,
was indicted for stealing, on or about the 16th of December
last, divers articles of drapery, consisting of silks, merino,
calico, hose, shawls, cloaks, 4:c., of the value of 401. and up-
wards, the property of Thomas Matson White.
Mr. White is an extensive linen-draper on Newington Cause-
way. At the latter end of November, a youth of the
name of Parnell, alias Morton, sought to be received into
his establishment as a shopman, when a reference was de-
manded, and the name of a Mr. Hadlam, of Seven Oaks,
linen-draper, was given. To that address witness wrote, and
received such an answer as induced him to take Parnell into
his employ. In the middle of the last month, Parnell hav-
ing been with him only a fortnight, property was suddenly
missed out of the shop to the amount of more than 401., and
he was induced to take Parnell aside, and express to him his
suspicions. The young man declared his ignorance, but at
leagth, when closely pressed, he said on condition of a pro-
mise of pardon, he would make such a confession as would
lead to a restoration of some of the property. Witness con-
sented, and he and Parnell went to the lodgings of the priso-
ner, in York-street, Westminster, when he told him that Mr.
White stood before him, and added that he had made a con-
fession to his master, and wished that he would restore the
property he had taken from the shop.
The prisoner at first affected surprise, and declared he did
not know what was meant, but at length he produced several
duplicates, which related to part of the property named in the
indictment, and which was produced.
Mrs. Elizabeth Poulter deposed that she lives at the Post-:
office at Seven-oaks, Kent, which is kept by her father. On
the day named a letter came directed there to Mr. Hadlam,
draper, Sevenoaks." She knew of no such person in that
place, nor ever had during her life-time. The prisoner was
the person who applied for the letter so directed, and she de-
livered it to him. It was her business, jointly with her father,
to receive and deliver letters. Was quite positive as to the
identity of the prisoner.
B. Parnell, alias Morton, the confederate, was then brought
from Newgate to give evidence for the Crown. He stated
that on the 30th of November or the Ist of December he was
received into the service of the prosecutor. He had been pre-
viously acquainted with the prisoner, and it was concerted be-
tween them that a reference should be given to Mr. Hadlam,
and Mr. White was to write thither for his character. Nixon

(the prisoner) was to go down there to get hold of the letter,
and then write a favourable answer to the prosecutor : and he
did so. On the 150 or 16th of December last the other
young men had gone to dinner, it being his turn to stop in the
shop. During this interval the prisoner came in kith au
empty bag, which was filled forthwith, and he went away. A
good deal of property was put into the bag, and that now pro-
duced was a small portion of it.
The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty. (The word
" Guilty" convulsed the prisoner.)
Mr. Sergeant ARAM said the sentence of the Court was
that he be transported beyond the seas for the term of seven
years. There could be nu doubt but hi friend Parnell would
soo❑ follow him, for he was too far gone ever to do any good

in this country.
Mr. DOANE applied for the expenses of the prosecution,
which were allowed, the Court observing that it was both a
useful ana an important one.
