This Ward returns 16 Members.
As soon as the numbers were declared,
Mr. GALLOWAY rose.—Notwithstanding his opponents had
used all the arts and schemes they were able, in order to for-
ward'Mr. Butterworth, yet he still was placed in a most con-
spicuous situation, for which he begged to return his sincere
thanks. 'lle had- no objection to urge against Mr. Butterworth
individually; but he appeared to be supported by gentlemen
who had uniformly been opposed to the principles of liberty.—
(Loud cries of " No, no," and " True, true.")
The LORD MAYOR said, that every candidate was at liberty
to use the best argument he could in his own behalf; he trusted
that such an interruption would not be persisted in.
Mr. GALLOWAY proceeded--Nothing should deter him from
the path he intended to pursue ; truth to his opponents was like
a rag to a viper—it extracted the venom from the animal—
(laughter)—therefore he was determined to encounter them.
It was not him they disliked, it was the inhabitants; and it
was to their active exertions he was indebted for whatever sup-
port he had received. lie had come forward to advocate the
principles of liberty, which were obnoxious to them ; but he
would rather have that which he was anxious by all the means
in his power to court—their hostility—than desist from faith-
fully advocating those principles the inhabitants were the cause
of promoting, and he did not doubt at the close of the election
of finding the friends of independence and public liberty
triumphant. Mr. Galloway begged again to return thanks for
the support he had received, and to remind them that it was
their cause, in which it was his duty to see they were triumphant.
Mr. Galloway sat down amidst great applause.
Mr. BUTTEP.WORT/f, in rising, said he was unable to ex.
press the obligation under which he laboured for the support he
had received throughout the day: it was to their free exertions
he was indebted for his present situation on the poll, and it ap.
peered like the ashes of the Phoenix—(lond laughter and
hisses prevented us hearing the remainder of the sentence.)-..-
He would not follow the last gentleman through his observa-
tions, because every person in a contest was liable to be led
astray ; he hoped,•however, to see hia friends to-morrow give a
long pull, a strong pull, and a pull altogether, which would
enable him .to defeat the phalanx to which he was opposed—
(Loud hissing.) -

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF CHANCERY, DEC. 23.

W TWX IWATTIEIt OF 8111 G. P,TLIINER, A LUNATIC.

Mr. PHILLIMORE.mOVeiI, on.the part of Mr. Turner, bro.
ther of the lunatic; that it might be referred to the Master to
report upon a proper person to be appointed as Committee to
the estate and person ; also that the Master should report Upon
the question, if any and what steps Ought to be taken to pre.
vent, roceedlngs :at law, which were instituted in 30 different
actions, three execotions being now in the hands of the Sheriff'
of Bedfordshire.; also to report if any, and what part of the fur-
niture and estate of Battlesden-house should be, disposed of to
meet the claims of the creditors. The petition alleged that the
roams of Battlesden.house were filled, some of them to the
ceiling, with pictures, books rare furniture, and curiosities, re.
cently purchased, mostly packed' up in cases, so that the value
could by no means be ascertained. It also alledged, with re.
spect to the three executions before mentioned, that they were
put into effect the clay after thq Oita had issued a Commission
to inquire into the lunacy of the subject, the Solicitor under the
Commission having given notice to the plaintiff's Solicitor of
the mental derangement.—The Court granted the motion.
THOMAS v. mONTOOHER.Y.—IN THE MATTER OF TILE
QuEgrrsititßY ESTATE,.

An application was made for an appropriation of the effects
in the hands of the Court, under an order of the Court, obtain.
ed in 1820; the claims amounted to 900,000 t, while, as it was
alleged, the property in the hands of the Accountant-Oeneral
was 1,000,0001.
The motion was resisted on account of the speedy approach Pr
the Parliamentary Bession, the first week of which had been
fixed for determihing the right of the parties in the appeal.
The LORD CAIANCELLOII would not disturb the arrange.
talents which had been made with great difficulty for bringing
on the appeal, by entertaining the present motion.
