POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

BOW-STREET.

PROCEPDINGS EX-PAIITE.-THE KING V. lIETIIF.RINGTON.

Yesterday the second summonses, issued against Henry
Hetherington, of No. 13, Kingsgate-street, printer, for
printing and publishing certain papers containing news,
called the Republican and the Poor Man's Guardian
on unstamped sheets, were returnable, but the defendant
(lid not appear, and at two o'clock his name was called at
the door pro forma by Ledbetter the officer, who swore
to that fact.

Mr. Alley appeared again on behalf of the Stamp-office,
to conduct the prosecution, and stated that the defendant
not having thought proper to appear, it became his duty
to proceed against him in his abserce. He (Mr. Alley)
had four distinct informations upon which he should
proceed for penalties, two of them being for printing,
and the other two for publishing, the papers mentioned,
each of which informations subjected him to a penalty not
exceeding 20/. The defendant had declared in a letter, which
it appeared he had written to the Worthy Magistrates on
the day of the last hearing, that he would not attend to their
summons, and in a subsequent number of one of his penny
publications, which lie,.(lllr. Alley) had then before him,
the defendant distinctly stated that he would not obey the
law; and added that the object of the Government was
to crush him by an accumulation of penalties, which he
neither could nor would pay. The defendant, in the same
publication, however, boasted that the Government had
not dared to follow up their arbitrary proceedings, inas-
much as they had not ventured to enforce the payment of
the penalties which had been awarded against him, when
he appeared at this office in person. Now it would be
recollected, that on that occasion the defendant appealed
against the convictions to the Sessions, and these con-
victions were there confirmed ; and the only reason
that the penalties had not yet been enforced was, that
there had not been sufficient time for the forms of justice
which were strictly necessary in such cases to be complied
with. The Learned Gentleman then entered into a detail of
the forms necessary, from which it appeared, that the
Sheriffs could not proceed to levy under the order of the
Court above until September, when the next Sessions will
be held. He (Mr. Alley) could assure the defendant, and
all others whom it might concern, that the penalties
would be enforced, and that too with the utmost strict-
ness, consistently, at least, with the fair and mild admi-
nistration of the law. The defendant had chosen to sny
lie would set his prosecutors at defiance; but he must
and should be convinced that the law was stronger than
himself. The Commissioners of Stamps were the trus-
tees of that portion of the public revenue, and the de-
fendant boasted that the sale of his publications bad in-
creased fom 3,000 to 10,000 weekly ; and if they suf-
fered the revenue to be robbed of that number of four-
pences—(the price of each is fourpence),—a charg.!
would fairly rest against them for neglect of their pub-
lic duty.
_ _

Mr. lIALLs —Yes, and also for neglecting to afford
that protection to what I should call the legitimate press.
Mr. Alley coincided with the worthy Magistrate in his
view of that part of the subject also, and went on to say
that the defendant was mistaken if be thought that by ab-
senting hitaself he would he allowed to get off scot free,
for the penalties would assuredly be enforced in the legi-
timate way, and that too with the least possible delay.
Mr. George William Nicholls, clerk of this office, de-
posed, that he served a summons upon the defendant per-
sonally, on Thursday last, to appear here this day to answer
to an information for printing on unstamped sheets a news-
paper called the Republican.

Printed for Baldwin and Cradock, Paternoster-row.

Mr. James \Vintl-e, inspector of stamp duties, deposed,
that he purchased a copy of the Republican, which he now
produced, dated Saturday July 2d, from the defendant
himself, at his shop, No. 13, Kingsgate-street, and paid
one penny for it. It contained articles of news, and at the
bottom of the last page appeared the following words :
" Printed every Saturday, by Henry Hetherington, Printer
to the People's most excellent Majesty, at No. 13, Kings-
gate-street, Holborn, and sold by every honest bookseller
and newsvender in the kingdom." The witness produced
other numbers of the same work, of previous and subse-
quent dates, to show that they were published conse-
cutively.

111 r. Alley said, that upon this evidence he should ask
for a conviction, and he should also press for the heaviest
penalty.

Sir R. BIRNIE and Mr. HALLS both agreed that the
continuance of such a system would be a great hardship
upon the legitimate press, and convicted the defendant in
the full penalty of 201. and costs.
Similar evidence was given on the three other informs.
tions, and in each case the full penalty of 201. and costs
were awarded, making in the whole SO/.
Mr. Alley then stated that the convictions would be
drawn up immediately, according to the strictly legal form,
and warrants would then be issued against the defendant,
who, in default of payment, or on not putting i❑ sureties
to appeal, must be committed to prison.
The convictions and amounts of penalties and costs were
then entered by the clerk.
Mr. Alley said he had one observation more to offer, and
he did it in kindness to a set of poor men who, perhaps,
were ignorant that they were offending against the law.
The publications which had now been proceeded against
were vended about the streets in all parrs of the town, by
poor men, and it was fit they should know that although
they could not be proceeded against under the Act of
Parliament which had been brought into force against
Mr. Hetherington, except by the tardy process of a
summons, from which, probably they would abscond ;
yet that by an Act passed in the reign of George 11.,
persons vending printed papers in the public streets could
be taken into custody, conveyed before a Magistrate, and
sent to the House of Correction for three months. He
begged to be understood as mentioning this only by way of
caution to the poor men to whom it applied.
Mr. lIALLs said he hoped the humane caution of the
Learned Counsel would produce the desired effect.

,NING, JULY 26, 1831.

TITHES COMPOSI I lON.

(From the Examiner.)
The Archbishop of Canterbury's Tithes' Compo-
sition Bill is "as moderate as need be," an improve-
' merit on the present abominated system. It is not
radical Reform, but rather one of those fine Re-
rorms which are scarcely distinguishable from the
evils—one of those delicate changes which are
hardly to be discerned in any good effect. In a
word, it is the measure of an Archbishop.
Our Right Reverend Father in God proposes to
remedy a sad evil. He complains that, under the
present system of composition, the parson is balked
of any share of the property of ruined people!—
" When the payment was by composition, the incum-
bent bad to wait for the previous payment of the poor• rates
by the tithe-payer, and he had also to wait until the land-
lord was paid ; and the consequence was, that before he
could get what was due to him, the whole property of the
lithe-payer was swept away by the landlord, or by cre-
ditors,"
This is shocking to think of indeed!-shocking,
that the preachers of charity, who inculcate selling
all, and g►ving to the poor, should have no opportu-
nity of seizing any of the goods of an unfortunate
man, before they ate swept away by the landlord and
creditors !

According to his Grace's Bill, therefore, the
priest is to have the remedy of distress for composi-
tion—that is, he is to have the power of selling all
and giving it to himself!

The effect of the Bill is thus shortly stated by
the Globe :

"1. Whereas no valid composition can now be made
for a longer term than the incumbency of the parson, the
compositions may hereafter be made for a term of twenty-
one years certain ; and 2. Whereas no parishioner can now
be compelled to enter into a composition for the tithe of
his own land, or to join in a composition for the tithe of
the whole parish, he may hereafter be compelled, by a
specified majority, to join in a composition completed ac •
cording to the terms of the act ; and for the composition
so agreed on the clergyman is to have his present remedies,
and also another, viz. distress."
The Lord Chancellor, in a speech full of zeal for
the Established Church, favoured the House with
some curious expositions of the nature of its property.
" Under the existing laws, he must look upon the cler-
gyman and the landowner as joint-proprietors in the farm,
nine-tenths being the property of the landlord, and the re-
tnaining one-tenth as absolutely the property of the parson.
The landlord could no more turn round upon the clergy-
man, and deny his right to the one-tenth, than could the
litter turn upon the landowner, and deny his right to the
nine-tenths.—( Hear, hear.) It was precisely the same
case as if a field were divided into ten parts, of which nine
were allotted to one of two proprietors, and the tenth were
set apart for the other. The owner of the nine-tenths had
no rig ht to seize upon the remaining tenth the property of
his neighbour. The clergyman and the landlord might be
looked upon as co-partners, of whom the latter was the
acting, and the former the sleeping partner."
There is this peculiarity, which Lord Brougham
has overlooked in the parson's partnership, that it
is a partnership in profits, and not in losses—a part-
nership in produce and not in capital. The case is
not in the least degree like that of the field divided
into ten parts, one of which is set apart for the
clergyman. No—bis share is not in a portion of
land set apart, but in the produce, whencesoever it
comes; and though the owner lose in the cultivation
of nine parts, he has to render the parson a tenth
in the only tenth part which is fruitful. This is a
bad partnership, indeed ! A farmer lays out capital
in improvement, or in experiments, or in getting
land into cultivation ; the " sleeping partner" only
wakes to cry, give me the tenth of the produce.
What has he given of the capital that has been laid
laid out for it ?—His dreams ; no, not even the
visions of holiness, but the eternal precept ever and
only in the mouths of our present. divines, the pro-
perty of the Church is held by the same tenure as
all the other property in the kingdom ; artd the
clergy have as good a right to their possessions and
incomes as any landed proprietor hes to his estate.
This is the Alpha and Omega of clerical discourse;
It is their divinity suitable to the godhead of Mam-
mon. In answer to it, we have only to remind them
that the lay impropriations show that the State has
ordered Church property, and that the judgment of
the country demands that it shall be ordered again.

The new London-bridge presented a rather
cut•ious appearance yesterday. The Royal tent on the
London side is now covered in, and, from its towering
height and dome top, it appears like a miniature of St.
Paul's. Numerous flag-staffs, &e. are also erected. The
Lunn MAyou has issued an order that no steam-vessel,
barge, &c. shall be alle)wed to pass between London and
Westminster bridges on the day of the opening.

Mr. O'CONNELL has addressed a letter to the
electors of the county of Meath, strongly urging them to
return Mr. HENRY GRATTAN for that county.

Since Friday last Blackfriars'-bridge has been
crowded on the east side by an immense assemblage of
persons, to witness the motions of an enormous porpoise,
which has remained about the middle of the river Thames,
between Blackfriars'-bridge and Southwark bridge.
THE REV.EDWARD IRVING, A.l\l.—How
fleeting and uncertain is popular favour ! The Rev, Mr.
Imarco, whom, but a year or two ago, Nobles and even
Kings pressed to her, is aow become a field preacher !
On Sunday he declaimed to a mob of about fifty pertoos,
in the fields near Pancras Old Church, Camden-town.—
He was accompanied by a respectable-looking man, who
appeared to pay much attention to the proceeding. The
Bev. Gentleman commenced by addressing a number of
ragged urchins on the impropriety of their conduct in
flying kites, &c. on the Sur.day, and afterwards alluded
to the grown-up persons present. He was interrupted 11,
a low fellow, who offered " to fight any man in England,"
and who appeared to attract more notice than the other.
Mr. IRVING said he would !ee whether folly or reason
would prevail," and at last kept the field : and after ad-
dressing the people for upwards of an Lour, they quietly
dispersed.

SINGULAR CIRCUMSTANCE!--Sorge work:•
men employed a few days since iq ptdl;ng down c.,n old
house next to the shop of Air, Devonport, die-
covered a human skull and bones of a grown person in a
spot near the kitchen fire-place, with a stone bearing the
name, apparently, of the defunct, and the date 1765.--

On Thursday last while a woman who died at
Grantham was being interred, her daughter, a cook to Mr.
WAucER, of the Cock, at Eaton in Bedforash4ei
with ber brother to attend the wheii as the body
was lowering, they will fell into the grave. The daughter
is not likely to survive, and the son who was taken home
much injured was bled, but without any hopes of reco-
very, and, singular to relate, the surgeon who attended him
was called into an adjoining room to assist a married sister
of the parties, whom he delivered of twins.

'letsey Brand. After being some time at Mr. Cat-
lin's house the old lady removed to a house taken
(or her at Walden, next door to Mr. and Mrs. Ro-
' )inson, the defendants in this cause, and here, as
yell as at Mr. (-atltres, all her relations and former
equaintances were denied any access to her, and
',er favourite niece and nephew were even..insulted
vhenever they asked to see her; and, on..one occa-
sion, Miss Brand was turned out of C rtiWs house,
And threatened with personal 'Violence by.tMr. Hall,
the attorney, because she went into her aunt's room
vithout permission: At the house' to which the
jid lady was removed, in Gold-stteet; at Walden,
he front windows were kept 'consflEintly closed, and
the street-door always chained; 'fo'that no one not
ipproved of should be admitteVihat way; and the
only free communication was a door newly made for
she purpose, at the back of the house, to communi-
cate with Robinson's house, and some certain pet-
sons approved of were only allowed to Natl.. In
this abode the old lady lived chiefly in the
kitchen amongst the servants., and a new doc-
,or (the doctor of tie Catlins) as well as thee
new attornies, was appointed to attend her, to the
exclusion of her own former solicitor and surgeon,who
in vain applied to be admitted to her presence :
and in this house, and under these circumstances, the
old lady remained until she died, .none of the rela-
tions or former friends having ever again seen her
alive. When the will, signed by the testatrix on
the 10th of March, as above stated, was duly wit-
nessed and completed, Mr. Hall, the attorney (and
also, with his partner, the attorney in defending this
action), got from the old lady the will of 1828, in
which she had left her property to her relations ;
and it being no longer of any use, as he said, he
very deliberately put it into the fire. For some rea-
son which did not clearly appear, and must be
guessed at, the testatrix made another will, on the
19th of the same month of March, also drawn up
by Mr. Hall, leaving her property to the Catlins, ass
before, and one or two legacies of trifling amount to
two servants ; and on the 28th of October following
she made a third will, drawn up again by Mr. Hall,
his partner Master always assisting in the proceed.
ings, in which she left the whole of her property to
Mrs. Robinson, Air. Catlin's sister, but omitting
the names of the two brothers, except a legacy of
1001. to one of her relations, a young lady named
Cornwall, who, however, refused to accept any
thing under the will. A Mr. Smith, a very
respectable gentleman, at Walden, and a great
friend of Mr. Catlin's, was named an executor
in this will, but he refused to act, although Mr.
Catlin strongly urged him to do so, and offered to in-
demnify him against any pecuniary risk. On the
morning of the day that the last will of October was
made, a number of persons, acquaintances and
friends of Mr. Catlin, at Walden, were taken to
see the testatrix by Mr. Catlin, before she signed
the will ; and they held a sort of inquest in the
room on the state of her mind, .and signed on the
spot a paper, as was stated, declaratory of her per-
fect sanity ; and these men, some of whom were
witnesses to the different wills, gave the chief evi-
dence as to the sound state of her mind.

For the plaintiff, whose case was opened this day
by the Common Serjeant, in a most able address,
which occupied nearly four hours in the delivery, it
was clearly proved by many most respectable wit-
nesses, both professional and otherwise, that the un-
ham old lady's mind had been in quite a diseased
and distorted state long before she quitted Ciavering
and went to live at Catlin's, from which, at her ad-
vanced time of life, there was no hope that she
would ever recover.

At eight o'clock this evening, candles having
been lighted in the Court, and the Judge having
arranged to sit until twelve o'clock that night, and
to enter on the case again on Monday, as there was
no chance of its being finished before the Sabbath
day commenced, Miss Betsey Brand, the fifth wit-
ness out of thirty in attendance for the plaintiff, was
examined.

This young lady, whose affection for her aged
aunt, and whose perfect disinterestedness and scru-
pulous conduct towards all her relations in the whole
transaction, as appeared in the course of the pro-
ceeding, and in the manner in which she was de-
scribed to have been wronged, gave the chief interest
to the whole case, increased that interest greatly by
her personal appearance, and the mild and amiable,
yet clear and satisfactory manner in which she gave
her evidence, which Has of so overbearing and un-
answerable a nature, that before half her direct ex-
amination had been gone through, the Jury one and
all, rose from their seats, and declared that they
wanted to hear no more evidence after what they
had heard from Miss Brand, and said that their minds
were quite made up to declare the whole of the three
wills produced null and void, as well as the power of
attorney, and to pronounce a verdict against the sa-
nity of the testatrix.

On the verdict being returned, there was a gene-
ral burst of applause from every part of the Court,
which was crowded chiefly with ladies from the be-
ginning to the end of the trial, and each of the
Counsel for the plaintiff, us well as a number of
strangers, shook hands in the most cordial manner
with Miss Brand, congratulating her on the success
to which she had so mainly contributed ; and soon
after the verdict was announced through the town
the bells were set a-going, and rang a merry peal.
Tho whole of the property left by the deceased is
about 15,000/.

It is stated that in consequence of his connection,
with these transactions, the Messrs. Gibson, who
are of the Society of Friends, have compelled Mr.
Thomas Archer Catlin (who is not) to dissolve part•
nership with them, and that lie no longer belongs to
the bank.
