check at the time, and in Mann
and form set forth in the declaration.
The order of Mr. Justice Littledale having been read, .etMr. BAIN, for the defendant, said the defence in the prese
case was that the check was post-dated, and he believed it 010
known to his Lordship, and to every gentleman carrying °I
business, that when a check was post-dated, it was of no ava'.;
If a draft upon a banker was delivered before the time it 11,
dated, it required to be stamped, and in the case before
Jury, there was no stamp upon the draft. e.
Mr. Justice WILLIAMS— You should have framed your (1,4
fence in another shape. I fear w. 9 cannot now open that vs.'
tion as the Judge's order is conclusive.
Mr. BAIN had taken the opinion -or an eminent specs ,n
pleader, and he believed the defence could not be shaped '
any other way.
Mr. Justice WILLIAMS—I think we cannot receive the eibe

TORY LOYALTY.—For a long period after 11 j
vember, 1834, the Tories of this district eulogized our wed
meaning Monarch as a perfect Solomon. On the returio
Lord Melbourne to power, they began to speak rather flipPaTe,
of his Majesty, but their adoration again commenced alien
profligate Times and hypocritical Standard assured tu
was not his own master, but that he would very soon burst
and
Whiggish bonds asunder. The speech from the throne, 11°06
ever, has dissipated all their crafty plans and selfish hePes'•cael•
now they plainly talk of William the Fourth as as old drlo,
ler. Verily, these Tories are a loyal clique.—Hamrslifri

GLASGOW ELECTION.—Lord William Aiello-
Committee met yesterday in the Town Hall, at three o'cle,'
when Bailie Bankier was called to the chair. After some ,iet
cussion with regard to the opposition threatened by the Pariy,
who had got up a meeting in Gorbals in favour of young
Mills, son of the Lord Provost, it was stated by Mr. Deng:
our late member, that he bad seen his Lordship on the 9?
ject, who positively assured him that the opposition in questle
would be withdrawn. Mr. Dunlop stated in addition, that tick
Lord Provost himself would propose Lord William nenwpe-li
on the hustings. The young gentleman made a short epee the
of which we have given the substance in our report of t,,,
meeting, and his followers shouted, and notwithstanding th",
Lord Provost's assurance to Mr. Dunlop, we presume that Is
and they are ready to encounter all consequences.---'-'"

We understand that the proposed bill for the ref
lation of lighthouses is not to be extended to Scotland, so
the management of the Northern Lighthouses will still rem s.
with the present commissioners, whose exertions have been e
highly beneficial. It is satisfactory to learn that this sells%
is to be abandoned, as it is quite evident that lighthouses '
Shetland and the Orkneys can be much more effectually 55
perintended in Edinburgh than in London.—Edinburg

Mr. and Mrs. Butler are expected to arrive in Ends

POST OBIT.—A few weeks ago, a gentleman !oil
this county, who had just entered into the "holy estate," w.
applied to by the ringers for the usual gratuity, which he 1111;

importunity. " Who are you ?" said the gentleman ?

THE BURGLARY AT UHIPSTEAD.--001401;
SION OF THE WOUNDED BURGLAR.-Our readers will remerll"4
that in September last the residence of Captain Rankers, "if
Chipstead, Surrey, was attacked in the night-time by a gan",
of armed villains, and that ultimately one of them was shot
Captain Rankers, but he contrived to get away, but was
sequently taken into custody and committed for the offence()
This man, whose name is James Hill, has recently confessieje
the whole of the circumstances connected with the affair.
states that there were seven men engaged in it, namely,
self, a man named William Arley, another known by the ra
ko
name of " Curly Jem," another by that of " Bucking',le tio
Joe," and three others, whose names he mentioned ; and t"(
whole of whom arc in custody. Hill states that the plan °
the burglary was concocted at a beer-shop in the neighbourAd
hood of Chipstead, and that it was to have been carne
into effect on the Monday ; but when they got to the
house they found that some boards had been put tirt,
on the paling, which induced them to think that the',
had mistaken the house, and the attack was put off to tu
next evening. Hill then states that he and two of the other
obtained an entrance to the premises, while the other folic
kept watch, when the gallant resistance made by the inmate ,5:,
and the consequent wound which Hill received, induced t". 4
villains to quit the house. Hill states that they assisted )"";
for a short distance, but they then refused to carry him an/4
further. He begged of them to assist him, but they persist%
in their refusal ; and ultimately, as he says, left him ,e to dig
like a dog." He contrived to crawl under the furze where
remained till morning in the greatest agony from his wearla
and ultimately managed to get home. Hill says that he ‘01.3
never have iaiplicated his accomplices, but for their brutal
conduct towards him when he was wounded, and that he vc,,a:
determined, as they had behaved in such a manner to him, '7
would not be the only sufferer. Four of the men accused by
Hill of being his accomplices, are now awaiting their trial lo
Doncaster gaol for the offences of burglary and highway rolY
bery, committed in different parts of the country since t"
month of September. William Arley, another of the tner4
at present in Horsemon,ger-lane on the charge, has been COai
fronted with Hill, and he declares him to have been conneetc
with him in the burglary. There are various other cirettin;
stances which tend to corroborate Hill's statement; and there
is very little doubt that the ease will be clearly brought hoe'
to the prisoners.
