was it wig.) to go on involving a million and a half of pro-
perty additional ? Were they to go cbllectiog 20 00Ci.
without sonic sort of esia.ive as to what wai to be done
with it ? They had 10,0001. in hand at the time the rate
bad been ordered a twelvemonth rg
Mr. T. DYER said it was perfectly absurd to contend
that it should take thirteenth months to make a rate. lie
would undertake to g. t the rate. books in the different pe-
rishes copied in a fortnight. When had these books been
sent by the parishes?
The CLERK said some of them did not send in their
books until three months after the order.
Mr. T. DYER thought it was right the public should
know that the rate was made in April 1841, upon the rate
of June 1840, so that V:ere must be a great deal of rate-
able property which did not appear at all. In justice to the
public, they ought to obtain the rate-books of 1841, be-
fore subinittirg the question to the Jury.
Mr. UN WIN said that would apply only tl a small portion
cf the rnte.

Mr. LESLIE thought it applied to all the rate. flow
could they say they were tiacing any existing pool-rate in
the hands of the Jury ? They had no rigl.t to collect a rate
sufficient to last f4r two years. The nrovr eJurie would
be to suspend furtli,r proceedings until the various ques-
tions now at issue should be decided. Ile hoped that artcr
what had Leen elicited by the lion. Magistrate, they had
brt•er pause, until they could see some way out of the
subject.

Sir. J. Wnitre had always understood the property, and
not the porsoe, was to be rated to the Severs-r,tte. The
only question agi:ated by him was, that they ?lionld leave
out nothing, no properzy whatever. The re,-son was merely
an indication of the property. With rega-d to the rate,
i; was a constant practice to make a rite last as long as it
c Add last. It was the land and not the tenant that was
assessed, and the efure the injustice of making the rate
upon the poor-rate of 1810 did not exist. Ile could see
no reason why the precept should not be signed, but he
thought it had Leen postponed too long.
Mr. BouvEnts wished to kr:ow whether the churches
were included in the property to be submitted to the Jury.
The CLERK said they were.
Mr. T. DYER should draw the attention of the Jury to
the f .ct that the presentment was based upon the rate of
1840. lie thought they ought to gr,t the rate-bark of
1841, and alter the presentment, and if additional assist-
ance were necessary, they ought to hare it. Ile put it to
the solicitor whether he wool! advise the Court to make
the presentment upon the old rate?
Mr. SMITH thought if the new rate-books were ready,
it would be unwise to proceed upon tile cld ones.
M. W. WHITE and Mr. UNWIN both said that in their
respective parishes the new rate-book was not male out.

Mr. FULLER thought it odd they should make a new
rai.e when they had that day refused to carry cm their old
decree. He could not understand such conduct. He
thought persons, not property were assessable. lie would
be no patty to signing that precept.
Mr, LESLIE contended the precept was not in confor-
mity with the statute of Henry VIII.
The CHAIRMAN rose to order, Mr. Leslie had already
spcken._

Mr. BEACH thought the precept ought to be signed at
once. The land alone was liable. The person occupying
was merely named for the more perfect identification of the
land.

The CHAIRMAN said, that unless the precept wei e signed,
they would be thrown back inextri-ably ; all the circum-
stances and opinions relating to churches would be laid
before the jury and he thought they would find it improper,
if not illegal, to include churches in the rate. He trusted
the precept would be signed for the jury to meet on the
30th April.
_ _

Mr. T. DYER moved that the Court do now aljourn

Mr. UNwilv seconded it.
On the show of hands, there were for the adjournment,
4, against it 6.

On the question of signing the precept, there appeared
for signing it 7, against it 3; majority far signing the
precept 4.
Mr. T. DYER gave notice that he should ask, in the
presence of the jury, if the Vestry Clerks were in attend-
ance ? and, if not, he should tell the jury they were
making a presentment upon the rate of 1810. He would
also give notice that at the next meeting he should move—
Mr. Beach here walked out of Court, and
The CITAIRNIAN observed there were only five Commis-
sioners present, and, therefore, they no longer constituted
a Court

The Court was then counted out at a Quarter to Five
o'Clock.

THE BANK DIRECTORS AND

CLERKS.

The Court of Directors of Bank of England, on the
Bth inst., passed some resolutions to establish a guarantee
fund for the clerks of that establishment in lieu of finding
securities. According to these resolutions, each clerk inthe service of the Bank is, on or before the sth of next
July, to pay 2s. per cent. on the amount of security re-
quired under the existing system, and is to pay a like
amount on every ensuing sth of April until five payments
have been made. The sums raised by these contributions
arc to be invested in Consols or Three per Cent. Reduced,
and to stand in the name) of the Governor and Deputy
Governor under the title of " The Guarantee Fund for the
Clerks of the Bank of England," until, with the in-
vestments of the interest, the fund shall amount to.
6,000/. stock. This fund is to be held for the pur-
pose of making good any losses by the acts or defaults
of the clerks, and the resolution of the Court of
Directors is to be till authority for the sale of so
much stock as they shall specify, the demand being, how-
ever, limited to the actual sum for which the clerks will
have been required to give security. The Directors may,
upon their own terms, admit a clerk again to become a
subscriber to the fund, after a demand has been made
upon it to meet the losses occasioned by his defaults.
When the fund is reduced by claims, the interest on the
remainder is to be invested until the fund shall again
amount to 6,0001. stock, provided the reduction shall not
Le to the extent of 1,300/. ; but if it be reduced to that
amount, each subscribing clerk is on the quarte.--day next
succeeding the reduction to pay a sum not exceeding 24.
per cent., and continue paying on every sth of April till
the 6,000/. stock is again reinstated. Accumulations of
interest, subscriptions, &c., bevond the limit of the 6,0001.
are to be paid to the Clerks' Widows Fund; but the Di-
rectors are at-liberty to extend the limit if they think fit.
Clerks elected into the service of the Bank are at once
to pay 103. per cent, on the sum for which security is
required, and clerks appointed to situations, whereby a
greater amount of security is required of them, are to pay
in addition to. their former payments the sum of 10s. per
cent., and not be subjected to further payment, except
in the case of a reduction beyond,l,3oo/. As for the bonds
now held on behalf of the clerks, the sureties, but not the
clerks themselves, are to be considered discharged on the
completion of the fifth annual payment, and the clerks
may anticipate the payments, if they wish to release their
securities, while clerks who have not gig en bonds already,
are to give their personal bonds, which the Bank may put
in suit in case of default, in order to make good a loss to
the guarantee fund. In the case of minors a bond is to be
given by a surety.. That the system may not he adhered
to if it is not found to answer its purpo-e, the Bank re-
st.rves to itself the right of returning the subo..iptions,
and reverting to the system at present existn, Times
City Article.

A CANADIAN READER

COMMODO HE NAPIER.

(From the Liverpool Mercury.)
The Oriental steam-ship, Captain Soy, arrived in our
river on Wednesday morning last, from Falmouth, having
landed the mails from Egypt there on Stanley evening,
and immediately proceeded to the quarantine station,
where she has since been lying. A mong-t the passengers
is Commodore Sir Charles Na'ier, the hero of many
gallant exploits in the Peninsula, and more recently in•
Syria. Is will be seen from our report .of the Coumil
proceedings on Wednesday, that steps were immediately
adopted on the part of the Corporation to pay due honour
to the distinguished visitor, and that a Committee was
appointed to prepare and present an address, and co-ope-
rate with the inhabitants in any manifestation of popular
feeling .which may seem desirable. On the part of the
inhabitants, a requisition inviting Sir Charles to a public
dinner, was prepared in the course of the afternoon,
which, in a few hours, received upwards of 200 signatures,
comprising those of the leading merchants, bankers, &c., with-
out any distinction of political opinion. Yesterday morning a
deputation, consisting of Thomas Bolton, Esq. (the Mayor),
W. Brown, Esq., John Garnett, Esq., John Taylor, Esq.,
William Stewart, Esq., Jacques Myers, Esq., 'l'. C. Dunlevie,
Esq., R. Woodward, Esq., and Pollock, Esq., proceeded in
one of the steam-boats to the Oriental, for the purpose of pre-
senting the requisition, of which the following is a copy :
TO COMMODORE SIR CHARLES NA PIER, K.C.8.,

&c. &c

SIR,—We, the Mayor and the undersigned inhabitants of
Liverpool, impressed with a sense of the great services rendered
by you to our beloved country, and to the interests of Europe,
request the honour of your company at a public dinner, on
your being released from quarantine, or as early afterwards as
may be convenient to you.—We have the honour to be, sir,
wild profound respect, your obedient servants,
THOMAS BOLTON, Mayor.
(With upwards of 200 signatures.)
Liverpool, 14th April, 1841.
The deputation saw and conversed with the gallant Com-
modore, who seemed in high spirits, and very much gratified
by the compliment. On ascertaining its natu.e, he exclaimed,
" 0, I'll stop a day for this," and conversed for some time
with the Mayor and deputation. It will be seen from the ad-
vertisement that a meeting of the requisitionists will be held
this day at the Cotton Sales-room to make arrangements for a
public dinner on a grand scale. Neither time nor place has been
fixed, but we have no doubt that the demonstration will be
worthy both of the visitor and the town. The hero of Sidon
deserves a hearty welcome from his fellow-countrymen on his
return to his native shores, and we are quite sure thrt he will
receive it. It is expected that the necessary papers will be
received from London this morning, in which case Sir Charles
will land in the course of the day.

ON COMMODORE CHARLES NAPIER.
Will Wallace was a bra' chiel,
For claymore or for rapier ;
But for rockets, bombs, and cannon-balls,
Our Commodore has NAE-SEER.I6

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, APRIL 16.

THE QUEEN V. THE JUSTICES OF LANCASHIRE.

Mr. CRESSWELL moved in this case for a rule to show cause
why a writ of certiorari should not issue to bring up an order
of two Justices of the County of Lancaster. His application
was grounded upon the I 11th section of the Municipal Act. It
appeared that the Borough Justices made an order for the removal
of a pauper and an appeal was made to the County Justices, who
heard and de termi ned the appeal, quash ing the former order. Now,
lie apprehended that the County Justices had no jurisdiction at
all, because the section distinctly provided, that the County
Magistrates should have jurisdiction only in these cases where
there was no separate jurisdiction in the borough. If there
was any appeal, it should larve been to the Borough Justices.
After referring to the section in question, the COURT
granted the rule. • •

COURT OF EXCHEQUER, APRIL 16.
(Sittings in Banco.)
ItOADKNIGHT V. GREEN.
Mr. llumFnEv showed catve against a rule obtained by
Mr. Watson, which called upon the Master to review his taxa-
tion. The Learned Gentleman said it was an action for as-
sault and battery, which was tried at the Warwick Assizes in
1837; when the Jury gave only Is. damages. The Learned
Judge who tried the cruse refused to certify, in order to allow
the petitioner to recover- his costs, and under such circum-
stances he, of course, had not had them taxed, nor had he
thought it worth his while to sign judgment. In the mean
time Lord Denman's Act was passed by the Legislature, which
repealed the statutes of Charles 11. and Elizabeth referring
to costs in personal actions, and they being as if they had never
existed, he knew of nothing which would prevent them from
now obtaining their costs.
Mr. Baron PARKE—The Act repeals these Acts, and con-
tains no proviso for cases where judgment has riot been en-

tered up.
Mr. 141111FILEY—Certainly. The act wholly repealed the
former statutes, and it had been often laid down that a sta-
tute when repealed became as if it had never existed, and as
the law now stood he knew of nothinc, to prevent them from
obtaining their costs. The plaintiff had not signed judg-
ment until the 20th of January, 1841. He was not compel-
led to do so before—there was no Rule of Court requiring him
to do so until he pleased. The defendant might have ruled
him to do so, but had neglected that, and having signed
the judgment, as he was entitled to do, on the 20th of January,
1841, they must take the law as it then was.
Mr. Baron PARKE—If you, succeed, this Act will prove a
large bonus to all who have brought frivolous actions,—at all
events during the last twenty years.
Mr. HUMFREY—Certainly. No doubt neither the noble
author of the Bill nor the Legislature intended to grant such
a boon, but their Lordships must administ.r the law as
they found it.
Mr. Baron ALDERSON—If you succeed there will be a vast
influx of business in the Courts.
Mr. HusteitEv—Unless a Commis'ion were issued to ascer-
tain the number of such actions, and stop all proceedings, no-
thing else, he contended, could prevent the plaintiff in the
present action from recovering his cost,, for the statutes which
prevented him were now repealed. The Learned
.Gentleman
cited several cases, in order to show that the Courts had held
that plaintiff had a right to sign judgment when he pleased,
and that they were bound to apply the law which was in force
when such judgment was signed. He trusted the rule would
be discharged.
Mr. WATSON supported the rule, and 'at great length en-
deavoured to construe the words, " Shall recover by verdict
of a Jury," to mean " Recover through, or by means of a
verdict." He also contended that the Act of Lord Den-
man did not apply to an old verdict. The verdict
given in 1837 must be satisfied according to the law
as it. then stood. The plaintiff was entitled to sign judgment
on the first day of Banco, after the verdict of Nisi Prins, and
his judgment must date from that day when Lord Denman's
Act was not thought of, and he was entitled to no more costs
than he would have been on that day. He further contended
that the Act of Lord Denman repealed the statute in respect of
all future actions, but it left all former actions under the law
which was in force at the time of verdict. That was the clear
intention of the framer of the Act, and the Legislature in
passing it, and their Lordships would carry out such intentions
by malting the Rule absolute.
The Court took time to consider the case.
HUGHES V. ROGERS.

This was an action upon a bond for 501„ dated in 1895,
*high was tried at Shrewsbury I efore Justice Coleridge—ver-
diet far defendant. The obligor was Mrs. Rogers, and the
attesting witnesses were John Regers, his son, and John
Wilding, a son-hi-law. The obligor was dead, and the action
was brought against v.is sons. who were the executors, and one
of them was the attesting witness. At the trial Wilding, as
was expected, denied his handwriting. •On the part of the
plaintiff they were obliged to produce, witnesses to prove the
handwriting of both the attesting witnesses, which th,y did.
A son of lingers, the defendant, was called, who stated that the
writing in the bond was not his father's. Another paper
was put into his :;,711d., the signature to tvhich he also denied
to be his father's, altht:...,sh they were prepared and offered to
prove that several persons say( him sign it ; but this evidencewas no other suggestion of
etas rejected by the Judge. There was, odd that. the party
the forgery, and if it were so. h. Qd the chances of
witnesses at a
guilty of the crime should have incre..-
detection by having the names of two attesting ,
time when one was enough.
Mr. Sergeant L u ntow now moved for a rule nisi
.
trial on the ground of the verdict being clearly
agraritei:; I
weight of the evidence in the case.—Rule granted.

THOMPSON P. GIBSON

This was the last action which was tried at the Westmor-
land Assizes, before Mr. Justice Coltman, when a verdict was
found for the plaintiff, one shilling damages. It. was a
Special Jury cause, but the Judge was not asked im-.
mediatoly to certify that it was a fit cause to be tried. It
being the last cause, the Judge had proceeded to his
lodgings at Appleby, and there he was asked to grant a
certificate, which he said he would be very willing to give if
he then bad the power ; he granted the certificate and re-
ferred the parties to the Court. The words of the Act of
Parliament said "immediately after the trial." The question
was, what was the meaning of the word immediately? Lord
Ellenborotugh and Lord Tenterden had both laA it down
the Judge could not grant the certificate the day after
the He submitted that if any other Act had outt-
pied the mind of the Judge after the trial, the power to
grant the certificate wai gone. In . this . case the Judge had
adjourned the Court, and gone to his lodgings.—llule granted.

ELLIS V. JAYLOIt.
Mr. carsswELL moved to set aside the verdict for the
plaintiff in this case, which was for 361. The plaintiff sued in
forma pauperis, and brought his action to reco er compensa-
tion for the sale 'of his goods under a distres', after a
tender of the amount due, with expen'es. It appeared that
a third party came after the goods had been impounded,
laid down the rent due, and a further sum fir expenses, at the
same time tering the bailiff that if he took a farthing more
than the law allowed, he would bring an action. The July
found this was a tender, but upon the cases, he contended, that
it was no tender at a1!..--Rule granted.

TO THE EDITOR OF 7.IIE.SUN.
TORONTO, MARCH 23, 1841.
have no doubt but you will be anxious to hear of
the tate of the eketion, which has created so much feeling
in this part of the Province. Owen and Buchanan beat
them out. Owen, majority 70 ; and our J. B. `25 The elec-
tion lastid.the whole wrek, say from Monday morning till late
an Saturday night.
Yesterday (Monday) was the day appointed for chairing the
members, and I n.ust say I never witness:A a procession where
so much good-will and order seemed to prevail, on account of
the great triumph achieved by the people, in rooting out the
family compact, and their pretended loyalty.
But our procession did not terminate as orderly as ex-
pected. A regular band of Tories and Orangemen attacked
the Members throwing mud, &c., the carriages, and a
regular row ;hen took place ; and melancholy to say, a few
got wounded, arid two men were shot dead by the Orange-
men. The house they fired from was regularly demolished
by our party, and the band of Orangemen taken into custody.
The Riot Act was then read, and the town is now in posses-
sion of the military. No further riots arc expected ; and I
trust in a day or two we shall be quiet and peaceable' apin.
The elections a-c all over : the Provinces have returned mostly
Liberals. No other men living could have got over the old
official party in Toronto, but the very men who carried their
election, viz., Owen and Buchanan.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSIO.N-HOUSE.

A mendicant of rather uncommon character, who said
that his name was Jones, was brought before the Lord
Mayor, charged by a gentleman of the name of Kull!, un-
der the following circumstances :
The de fondant, who walked with a most independent
air to the bar of the Justice-room, had called at Mr. Knill'a
house for • charity, and the servant girl to whom he ap-
pealed was struck- with- commiseration, and relieved him
with -a penny. Mr. Krill himself having.be-a-d the knock
at the door and the voice 0r tl.e defendant, went out to
secs.who the visitor was, and finding how the master was,
desired that such vagabonds should not knock, 'or they
should go to the station-house. The defendant's :tone of
supplication thereupon suddenly changed into the fiercest
abuse, and he called Mr. Knill 4' a yvagabond,"
and spoke of brvking the nose of another gentleman who
happened to witness what took place, and expostulated on
the occasion. As Mr. Knill thought such a fellow ought
to pay his nest visit to t'e Lord Mayor, rt policeman was
called and desired to procure an introduction 0 the Chiet
Magstrate. The defendant, who had Eisen an itinerary
vender cf publications, then let fly such a volley of abuse
at Mr. Knill and the policeman as showed that he bad
faculties far an' vo the average class of mendicants, hut he
was at last canveyel to the station-house, and from thence
to the presence of the Lord Mayor.
The Loan MAYOR—What excuse can you make, Mr.
Jones ? •Defendant—l declare to you, my Lord, that this
man (pointing to Mr. Knill) has grossly misrepresented
my conduct. I defy him to say that I did not address
him as one gentleman would another.—(A laugh.)
The LORD Maven— Why should you knock at his door
for charity? You received a penny from his servant.
Defendant—l did not knock at the doer. I merely asked
this lady (the servant girl) for assistance pod. ely, and she
attended to me, and answered me like a lady, when out
comes this man (Mr. Kni!l), and says " get out you
vagabond." That was language not to be endured by a
respectable person, so I told him he was a vagabond, and
then he called this policeman, who noel like a ruffian,
and took me to the station-house.

The policeman said that he beard the defendant use the
most opprobrious terms in addressing the complainant,
and when witness was called, away ran the beggarman, but
soon to be apprehended.
Defendant —This fellow (the officer) is a mere brute
and liar. I never ran ; I merely retaliated, when I was
insulted by that man (Mr. Knill), whose conduct was very
different indeed from that of the lady who assisted me, and
who has a claim b the character of humanity.
The policeman.—l never heard worse languaga in my
life than the defendant made use of, my Lord. He said to
a gentleman who was with the complainant, " I say, do
you want your nose broken, eh ?"—( A laugh.).
The Loan MaYou.—Defendant—you are an able and
a well educated man, and cannot be at a loss to support
yourself in a proper manner instead of going about in this
disgraceful way of beggary and insolence.
Defendant.--1 am, my Lord ; but I happened to he in
need of pecuniary assistance. i have always been a hard.
working man night and morning.
The LORD MAYOR. —I dare say you are known to the
officers of the Mendicity Society, and you shall have an
opportnnity of seeing them to-morrow._ _

The defendant then requested that his Lordship would
order the policeman to treat him respectfully in conducting
hiton to the Cornpter, and was remanded till this day.
