ELDERTON V. PETERS.

This was an application that Mr. Bebb, a solicitor of
the Court, might pay the costs of a suit. instituted by
the plaintiff against the defendant.
Mr. KNIGHT BRUCE, with whom was Mr. Tripp,
stated the circumstances of the case, which were of an
extraordinary nature. It appeared that Mr. Bebb had been
induced to commence an action for an alleged person of
the name of Julian Hugh Peters against Mr. Elderton,
for the recovery of the amount of a bill of exchange
drawn by Julian Hugh Peters, and accepted by one
Jones, in the name of himself, of a person named
Heard, and of Elderton. A verdict was obtained in the
action by means of the evidence of Jones ; Elderton filed
his bill in the Court of Chancery to be relieved from the
verdict ; Mr. Bebb appeared to that bill for Julian Hugh
Peters, and shortly after the appearance by Bebb, it was
discovered by Mr. Elderton that there was no such
person in existence as Julian Hugh Peters. A rule
nisi was obtained from the Court of Queen's Bench to set
aside the proceedings at law, with costs, to be paid by Mr.
Bebb or Mr. Jones, and while the sale was pending in Febru-
ary last, Elderton applied to the Court of Chancery for
leave to dismiss his bill in that Court (be having discovered
that there was no such person as Peter.), and that Bebb
might pay the costs of that suit. His Honour 'the Vice-
Chancellor directed an issue in effect to try whether
there was such a person as " Julian Hugh Peters," the
plaintiff in the action at law. Mr. Bcbb appealed from
that order to the Lord • Chancellor, who reversed the
same, but directed the motion to stand over until the
result of the rule nisi should be knoWn. In June last
the Court of Queen's Bench made the rule absolute, with
costs to be paid by Jones to Elderton. Subsequently
Mr. Bebb applied to the Lord Chancellor for the costs. of
his opposition to Mr. Elderton's motion in the Court of
Chancery. Mr. Bebb was unsuccessful in his applica-
tion, and the original motion now came oti before the
Vice-Chancellor. It was urged by the counsel for Mr.
Elderton,. that Although there was no ground for main-
taining that Mr. Bebb was privy. to the fraud practised
upon Mr. Elderton, yet that he, having brought the
action as the attorney from the supposed person, who in
fact did not exist, and having appeared for.r hi* in the
suit, was answerable to the plaintiff in &flirty TO all the
costs which had been incurred in consevenge of Mr.
Bebb having acted as the attorney :and solicitor for

LAW AND POLICE.
An nation has just been tried before Lord Denman,
'at the assizes 9f the Northern Circuit, whereby the
plaintiff charged the defendant' with maliciously imput-
ing forgery to him. Perjury, however, was proved upon
the acceptor of the bill, and 501. damages were found for
the plaintiff. The acceptor, a man of the name of
Stockwell, was committed to
The issues directed by the Master of the Rolls to

be tried at the approaching Gloucester assizes respecting
the will of the late James Wood, have been delivered,
and the notice of trial has been served on the parties. It
was bad enough to spend thousands upon thousands in
the Courts in London, but to carry on this wilful•deseruc-
tion of the old miser's property in his native city is
enough to rouse the dead.

On Saturday the case of Mr. Williams, the Common
Councilman of the City, who was so brutally treated by
the Greenwich police on the 13th inst., came again
before the Magistrate on a charge preferred against the
police for unnecessarily taking him into custody. The
evidence given by one of the inspectors will excite
public indignation. The charge was dismissed through
the Magistrate, after a most searching investigation into
Mr. Williams' habits, and how and where he spent the
evening, declared that there was not the slightest slur to
be cast on his character.

KERRY ELECTION-AFFAIR OF HONOUR.

HEAD POLICE-OFFlCE.—Captain David Fitzgerald (a son
of the Knight of Kerry, and belonging to the 60th Rifles, now
stationed at Windsor), was arrested yesterday at Morrison's
Hotel, and brought to this office, where he was held to bail,
himself in 5001., and two sureties (Messrs. P. D. Latouche,
and Thomas Ponsonby) in two hundred and fifty pounds each.
Mr. Morgan M'Sweeney, the other principal, has not been as
yet arrested, wed the quarrel, as our readers are already aware
of, arose out of a dispute which occurred during the recent
Kerry election.
We understand that the parties were to have met in mortal
combat somewhere in the neighbourhood of Kingstown last
evening, but for the timely intervention of that active and in-
telligent officer, Mr. Irwin, who arrested the gallant captain.

THE CENSUS OF YORK AND ITS

VICINITY.
(Frem the York Herald.)
To some of our readers it will be a matter of consi,
derable interest to ascertain the advance of the popula-
tion, and the consequent importance of our ancient city..
In former times, we find that the population of the
suburbs greatly exceeded that of the city, within the
walls ; but those times are gone, and York, thrown back
by the outrages of war and the progress of manufactures
in other parts, has had many difficulties to contend with.
It, however, has lately risen from its ashes, and, during
the last twenty years, has assumed a progressive im-
provement, which, we trust, will continue till the future
shall surpass the olden time, and rival the most flourish-
ing cities and towns in the British Empire.
Our readers are aware that the Census is taken only
once in ten years. We will, therefore, commence with
1801, and show the increase through succeeding years.
The population, in 1801, was 16,846
1811, ... 19,090
1821, ... 22,529
1831, ... 26,777
1841, ... 29,435

We, hence, see, that the increase from 1801 to 1811,
was 2,244 ; from 1811 to 1821, the increase was 3,439 ;
and from 1821 to 1831, the increase was 4,248. The in-
crease of the population during the last ten years, ap-
pears to be only 2,658. This may be accounted for by
the change in the boundaries of the City. The estimate
is now governed by the Poor-law Union, and we have
at present our City Boundary, our Rural District, ancl
our Registration District, &c. The consequence is, that
the population does not seem to have increased in pro-
portion to other years. It, however, is a notorious fact,
known to all, that the population of York has increased
far more during the last ten years than it ever previously
did in the same portion of time, and that this compara-
tive difference is solely to be attributed to the present
mode of eftleulating the divisions of the boundaries.
We mention these particulars, in order to prevent
false conclusions, and we feel confident that the spirit of
enterprise is such at the present moment in our city, that
we may look forward to a far greater extension both of
the population, the manufactures, and the general pro-
sperity of Old Ebor.

EXTENSIVE FIRE.

On Friday evening, a few minutes before fire, as police
constable Burnham, 58 H, was going his rounds, he observed
a quantity of smoke and some flame issuing from the upper
floor is indews of a lofty and extensive building in Wentworth-
street, Whitechapel, in the possession of Messrs. Maltby and
Sons, of No. 34, Old Broad-street, which has been employed
by them as a shot factory and lead works. The officer in-
stantly rang the bell of the premises, and gave the alarm of fire,
and found that there were two men and two boys employed in
the lower floor of the building. One of the men so employed,
w hose name is Harrold, ran up stairs as fast as he could, and on
reaching the sixth story, he discovered that a great portion of
the flooring above him was on fire, and particularly that part
cf it which was situated near a flue which ascended from the
lower part of the building to the roof. The engines were
quickly on the spot, and the supply of water was abundant, but
owing to the extreme height of the building the engines did not
appear to be of sufficient power to force the water to the upper
floors. To counteract this, the firemen, under the direction of
Mr. Braidwood, carried the hose and branches through the
lower part of the building, and in about two hours succeeded
n extinguishing the flames, not, however, before the immense
pile of building, and some beautiful machinery, which has been
erected within the last eighteen months, for an improved method
of casting shot, and executing all sorts of lead-work, at an ex..
pence of over 2,0001., were very considerably damaged.
Mr. Gill, the foreman of the works, and who lives on the
premises, states that for the last week or ten days, in conse-
quence of the very advanced price of lead, the upper part of the
building bad not been used, but a fire was continually kept up
in u fie nace on the lower floor. On Monday last it was found
that the upper part of the flue, which carries away the smoke
from the premises, was so foul that the fire below would scarcely
burn, and means were taken at once to clear it, and the fire
below but ned as usual, and nothing more was thought of the
iisatter, but he ( Gill) is of opinion that the flue had again be-
come foul, and that that was the cause of the tire.
Tho stock and building are insured, but not to an amount
that it likely to cover the low

ELECTIONEERING•

The. Hon. J. Elliott, late Member for Roxburgh-
shire, has written a long letter to the Times, in which he
denies that he ever made a speech or anything like it,
which had beon inserted in that Journal, respecting the
disturbance at Hawick. He at the same time gives a
full account of the outrageous proceedings of the mili-
tary, about which an investigation is to take place. If
all that is stated is true, the sooner the Marquis of
Lothian and Sheriff Oliver Rutherford are removed the
better.

LAW AND POLICE.

A woman named Jones was committed for trial
on Friday at Union Fall, charged as the receiver of a W.
note, stolen from a man described as a farmer, residing
near Tunbridge Wells. Lle,foolishly allowed himself to
be robbed of the note and six sovereigns by a " gentle-
man," who, to secure the property, was permitted to fold
it up carefully, and instead of putting it into the pocket
of the clodhopper, put it into his own.
The trials which have taken place at the Devizes
Assizes during the present circuit, give an awful picture
of the degraded and brutal character of the peasantry in
the agricultural and Conservative county of Wilis. The
cases tried there on Thursday are quite horrible.

Two men- were, fined_ 100/. each, at -the, Thames
Police-office on Friday, for smuggling tobacco. , The
quantity of contraband tobacco daily run from the fo-
reign steamers is said to be very great, and the Commis-
sioners of Customs have therefore resolved to enforce the
full penalty in every instance. •
Mr. Johnson, one of the Directors of the Asso-
ciation of Omnibus Owners, waited on the sitting Alder-
man at Guildhall, cn Eriday, to assure him that the pro-
prietors had resolved to put an end to the creeping
system, and replace the plates in the inside of the omni-
buses, which, contrary to law, had in many instances
been removed.

The allegation that the Dissenting clergy took an ac-
tive part in their corporate capacity in the struggle to ob-
tain a repeal of the Test Act, and that the Catholic clergy
took an equally strong part in the struggle for Catholic
Emancipation, is not, in point. The disqualifying laws
were a brand upon their creeds, which they, anxious
that these creeds should have a fair hearing, -had an es-
peCial interest in getting removed. Their struggle
against disqualifying laws was a part of their missionary
labour—a preparatory measure towards having their
doctrine listened to without prejudice. They were in
the strict line of their clerical duty.
if the supporters of the Corn-laws advocated them,
knowing—believing them to be calculated to impoverish
the community and distress the pocr, they would be fair
objects for the clerical battery proposed to be opened
upon them. But whether the Corn-laws have that effect
or not, is the very question at issue. You must convince
the majority of the nation that they have that effect, be-
fore you can get them repealed ; and you must convince
them of that by hard-headed reasoning, not by clerical
denunciations. The Corn-law question is not a theolo-
gical question, but a question of pounds, shillings, and
pence. It must be settled by profane secular logic, not
by garbled and misapplied quotations from Scripture.
The Corn-laws can only be put down by argument ; and
of all arguers clergymen are the worst. Their educa-
tion is directed to making them dexterous supporters
of a creed which they must adopt, not bold inquirers
after truth. Their practice in the pulpit, where no one
can gainsay them, encourages a dictatorial spirit im-
patient of contradiction. When they step out of their own
proper sphere; they almost without exception turn out to
be quibbling and unfair, declamatory and vituperative.
It would almost seem that humbug has greater charms
for the political writers on the side of Reform of our clay
than common sense. If any unfortunate wight comes to
the conclusion that the cause of good government may
he better promoted by some new line of action than that
which has hitherto been pursued, and back his opinion by
arguments, he is assailed with abuse, contumely, mis-
representation, and called an enemy in the camp. If, on
the other hand, some one, as in the present instance,
rises up and proposes to settle the matter by pulpit ora-
tory—although every man among them will whisper you
ur confidence that the plan is a gross desecration of reli-
gion, an unfair and disreputable substitute for reasoning
--.4hey all assume a grave deferential face in public,
and, even when some lingering remains of a conscience
Teter them from advocating the project warmly, profess
to think it an important suggestion and worthy of a trial.
We cannot " teach our tongues to glaze," and there-
fore we beg to repeat, in still stronger language than be-
fore, that we think the projected clerical irruption into
the field of secular controversy is calculated to do very
great harm to the cause of rational politics and tiub
religion. 1

not exploded, and the question is, who will have courage

lord of the Crown public-house in St. John-street-road.
The complainant stated that on Friday evening the de-
fendant had some refreshment in his house, which he
paid for all but threepence. Witness in consequence
seized his hat, when the accused immediately collared
him, and, after shaking him, threw him from the bar
into the street. For this assault he was given into the
custody of a policeman.
Defendant, in his defence, said that he paid for what
he had. He had been in the plaintiff's skittle-ground
with a friend, and when about to leave the pot-boy said
there was threepence due. That amount had been had
in by strangers to him, who had quitted the place. Mr.
Williamson said the pot-boy should not be a loser of it,
and that he (defendant) should pay. He, naturally in-
dignant, refused, and the complainant then took the
liberty of snatching his hat from his head, for which he
justly chastised him.
Mr. COMBE (to complainant)—What right had you to
take away his hat ? Mr. Williamson—l considered that
the law authorised me.
Mr. COMBE—lndeed it does not. An innkeeper has
the power to detain the luggage of a traveller for neces-
saries supplied. If your notion of the law were correct,
you would be equally justified in taking off his shirt or
trousers. You commenced the outrage, and I consider
he was justified in resenting it. He is discharged.
Mr. Williamson—Then do you mean to say a publican
has no remedy against a person who eats and drinks in
his house, and then refuses to pay ?
Mr. COMBE—You can detain property, such as a trunk,
but you must not strip him. If it be an evil, you can
easily remedy it by refusing to give up your articles
until you receive payment. If you think my opinion
incorrect, go to the Sessions, and indict him for the assault.
Mr. Williamson said he would do so.

that the aspect of things is becoming every day darker.
The failure at Vienna has paralysed the German houses,
and domestic failures are of every day occurrence. The
city of Gloucester is suffering under a full share of the
general distress and want of trade. That place never
was in so deplorable a condition.
On Friday the steam-ship Dundee arrived in the

lONIAN ISLANDS.

SIR HOWARD DOUGLAS'S DEPARTURE FROM
CORFU.
Coate, Juwz 23, 1841. Sir Howard Douglas took his de-
parture in the lonian steamer on the 16th instant. The day
before he left I went to take leave of him, and on entering the
Palace I found it crowded to suffocation with people. all in
tears, and so eager were they to get a last sight of Sir Howard
that I had great difficulty in coming near enough to shake
hands, and when I did so Sir Howard spoke very feelingly to
me, and was deeply affected at seeing such strong demonstra-
tions of regret amongst the people. There were crowds outside
the Palace, who, when he left the Palace, followed him to the
waterside, and there he was gratified with a very pretty sight—
there was a beautiful barge waiting to convey him to the
steamer, manned by eighteen officers of the gars ison, in sailor's
uniform, each having an oar, and Sir George Berkeley officiated
as coxswain. As Sir Howard stepped into the barge the citadel
fired the usual salute, and on leaving the steamer the officers
gave three cheers. I never saw a multitude show such un-
feigned grief as on the day Sir Howard Douglas departed.
Captain and Mrs. Douglas, Mrs. Duckworth, and Lieutenant
Forbes, Sir Howard's Aide-de. camp, accompanied him. They
will join Lady and Miss Douglas at Trieste, and thence proceed
to the baths at Carlsbad.

(From the Government Gazette of June Ig.)
In delivering the Government into the hands of his Excel-
lency the Right Hon. J. A. Stewart Mackenzie, Sir Howard
Douglas thus addressed him :
" In placing in your hands the office of Lord High Commis-
sioner, in the presence of the most Noble Senate and its
Pres:dent, I wish you all success, and trust that your Admi-
nistration will be prosperous in every respect, honourable alike
to your country and yourself, and advantageous to the inhabi-
tants of these States, and I sincerely hope that your residence
in these islands will be agreeable to your family and yourself,
as it has been to my famly and myself."
To hick his Excellency the Right Hon. J. A. Stewart
MackenTie replied :
" Allow me, Sir Howard Douglas, to express my most sin-
cere thanks for the anxiety you have so kindly manifested rela-
tive to the prospeiity of my Government, and the Adminis-
tration which I am about to assume.

" It will, indeed, give me great satisfaction if, at the end, my
administration shall obtain that prosperity and good success of
which you have to boast, and which has signalised the progress,
and distinguished the close of your long and arduous career in
them) States, whose interests and permanent well-being you
have promoted with so much ability, so as to secure you the
high ,at isfaction and approval of the protecting Sovereign of
your measures, as well as the general voice of a grateful people.
I thank you likewise for the kind expressions which you
have used towards me and my family."
