EXCHEQUER-(THIS DAY.)

ORMEROD V. CHADWICH.
The LORD CHIEF BARON gave judgment in this case.
The question turned upon the interpretation to be given
to the word " door." The Court were unanimously of
opinion that it was the intention of the Legislature to
substitute for the old verbal parochial notices during
the performance of divine worship, a public written and
more permanent notice, upon the doors of all churches
and chapels where divine worship was celebrated, and
the Court was of opinion that the door referred to in the
Act meant the principal, chief, or usual entrance to such
place of worship, and not to all the doors of the build-
ing. With respect to the objection urged before the
Court to the validity of the rate, in consequence of no
notice having been posted at the door of the church, the
Court was clearly of opinion that as no divine service
had been performed in that place for upwards of twelve
years, it was not such a building as referred to by
the Legislature in framing the Act, and that there-
fore there was no necessity for affixing any notice
to the doors of such building. The third point was
whether the warrant was informal in consequence of its
not containing the evidence given upon oath before the
magistrate. The Court was of opinion that there was
no necessity for giving the evidence upon the warrant,
and that, therefore, upon all these grounds the Court
was of opinion that the defendant was entitled to a
verdict.

THAMES.

Martin New, a tall Irishman, a brick-maker, who car-
ried a fine child about two years old in his arms, was
brought before Mr. Yardley, charged by Mr. John
Hughes, the relieving officer of the Whitechapel Union,
with creating a disturbance in front of his house on
Sunday morning.
The prisoner's wife was also charged with her hus-
band, but about an hour before he was placed in the dock
she was taken in labour in the police cell, adjoining the
court. Mr. Hughes was no sooner made acquainted
with her condition than he sent a messenger to the
workhouse for a Muse and some blankets. He also pro-
cured the immediate attendance of Mr. Falconer, divi-
sional surgeon of police, under whose care the woman
was safely delivered of a fine boy, who, with the mother,
is likely to do well. A cab was procured, and the woman
and her child were sent to the workhouse. Mr. Hughes
having seen the poor woman properly taken care of and
Provided with every comfort her situation required, pre-
ferred his charge against her husband.
Mr. Hughes stated that on Sunday morning he gave
an order to the man and his wife for their admission into
the workhouse as casual poor. An hour afterwards they
returned again with the order, and demanded other re-
lief. He informed them he was not at liberty to do any-
thing more for them, on which they made a great dis-
turbance in front of his house, and caused a mob to as-
semble. He was therefore under the necessity of giving
them into custody. The wife, who had just become a
mother, was the worst of the two, and her language au()
threats were dreadful. - _

The prisoner said he objected to enter the workhouse
with his wife, where he should be separated from her,
because he had a sufficient taste of it on Saturday night,
after Mr. Hughes had given him and his wife an order
for a night's lodging. The place he was in was very
wet and cold, the floor was sloppy, and it would be the
death of him to go to such a place again.
Mr. Hughes said ho gave the man and his wife 31b.
of bread on Saturday evening, and an order for their
admission into the workhouse. The woman was lodged
in the receiving ward, the most comfortable in the work-
house, and her husband in the casual ward, which was
dry and well ventilated, and by no means deserved the
description given of it.
Mr. YARDLEY said the prisoner's conduct was very
reprehensible, and he appeared to be a dissatisfied man,
who would not receive with cheerfulness the provision
made for him by the public bounty. He had endangered
the life of his wife by his foolish conduct. He would
advise the prisoner to alter his behaviour, or he would
get into trouble, and find his way to a prison; but as he
was the lesser offender of the two he would suffer him
to depart. He should also discharge the case against
the wife, and was glad so much attention had been paid
to her.

LONDON, SATURDAY, MARCH 20, 1847.

The Lords met at Five o'clock.
In the course of a conversation which arose out of
the presentation of a petition by the Duke of RICH-
MOND, complaining of the unjust operation of the Poor
Removal Act, Lord PORTMAN entreated the Govern-
ment to introduce some measure to amend that Act
without delay.

The Marquis of CONYNGHAM complained that his
name had been improperly inserted in the list of the
deputation of Irish landlords who had waited upon Lord
JOHN RUSSELL. He mentioned the circumstance in
order that he might not be supposed guilty of the
absurdity of appearing as a member of a deputation
in favour of a measure to which he was opposed.
Lord MONTEACLE explained, that the Noble Marquis
had attended the meeting at which the deputation had
been agreed to, but had left the room before the pro-
ceedings were over, and that his name had been inad-
♦ertently handed in as a member of the deputation.
Their Lordships then adjourned.
The Commons met at Four o'clock.

Mr. BOUVEItIE asked for some explanation on the
subject of the wholesale objections which some of the
railway companies had made to the lists of Members to
serve on Committees which had been drawn up by the
Committee of Selection. The Great Western Com-
pany, he understood, had objected to three hundred
Members.

Sir J. Y. BULLER said that the Committee of Selec-
tion bad communicated to all the 'principal railway
companies a list of the Members appointed to serve on
Railway Committees, in order that the parties inte-
rested might object to any names they found in the list.
They had only received answers from the Great Western
and the South-Western Companies, and the Great
Western had certainly objected to a much greater extent
than the South-Western Company.
Mr. ELLICE, as one of the members objected to,
begged to say he bad not the slightest interest in either
of the companies, and he thought the Committee
of Selection ought not to have Entertained the objections,
unless the objectors had stated their reasons in each
case.

The nom. MEMBER also presented petitions from
several clergymen in the same barony in which he him-

AT a MEETING of Manufacturers in Glasgow,
held in the Star Hotel, on Tuesday, the 31st August, 1847,

JAMES ANDERSON, Esq., in the Chair,

The following Resolutions were moved, and unanimously carried

1. " That in the opinion of this Meeting, the attempt at present
made iT certain parties in London, to compel Manufacturers and
Wholesale Warehousemen to give 37 inches to the yard iu the sale of
their goods, ought to be resisted, as such a practice, by introducing
another standard than that which is recognised by law, is calculated
to create diversity, and, therefore, uncertainty of measure, and be the
cause of much inconvenience and loss to the trade."
2. " That this Meeting resolve to adhere to the legal standard of
36 Inches, anti to recommend the same for general adoption."
3. " That the above Resolutions be printed and circulated, anfl also
advertised in the " London Times," " Morning Chronicle," ".Man-
chester Guardian," and in the " North British Mail," and that the
following gentlemen ba appointed a Committee to see this carried
into effect :—J. H. Young, John Black, Robert Bell, John Fe ulds,
