BEER.—We regret to hear that complaints con-
tinue to be made of the bad quality of the beer
which is sold in public houses in most Counties.
surely the subject is deserving the attention of
the Magistrates at the next Alichaelsnas Quarter
Sessions, or at the Petty Sessions which are held
in September for granting licences to Victuallers;
and great care should be taken to avoid in future
the interference of great Brewers, and their At-
torneys, on these occasions, some of wlpotn, in
many districts, act likewise as Clerks to the .
J us t i ce s.—(Morning Paper.)

Mr. IVIANsELL had for many years been an active

Newport division.—(Morning Herald.) •
A hand-bill, which has been industriously cir-
dilated by a person of the name of Peter Watson, of Ches.
ter-le-Street, having found its way into the columns of the
Tyne Mercury and Durham Chronicle, and been copied thence
into some of the metropolitan prints, we have thought it our
duty.to inquire into the particulars of the case, and we "find,
that though a process has been commenced in the Eeclesias:
tical Court, as Peter represents, his statement as to its having .
been relinquished is at variance with the truth, as he himself will
perhaps very shortly find. The fact is, the 1 rocecdings are still
going on, though a temporary delay has lately taken place. The
matter, we understand, is now in the Court of Chancery. We
concur with the Editor of the Chronicle, that had the con-
tents of Peter's hand-bill been correct, the matter could not be
too generally known, nor should we have withheld our applause
from Peter for his public spirit, in having so successfully resist-
ed what he'is Pleased to call " an illegal clerical impcsition"—in
Such a case indeed we should have felt it our duty (being ene-
mies to all unjust demands of whatever nature they may be) to
have joined in the proposed subscription for Peter's remunera-
ticn—but as we have reason to believe that this statemen!,- like
certain Chester-le-Street affidavits, is all dam, we think it pru-
dent to-await the final issue, and in the mean time to caution
the public lest they should bei misled by a second " moonlight"
misrepresentation.—( Durham Advertiser, August 1'7.) _
