NOTICES OF MOTIONS.

Mr. Sharman Crawford—Resolution, That it appears to
this House, from the reports of the various Committees and
Commissions, that the system generally adopted in times
past in the letting and management of landed property in
Ireland, have been one of the main causes of the present dis-
tressed state of that country, and the disordered state of its
social relations ; and that no measures can be effectual in
producing a demand for labour, or improving the condition
of the people, which limn not include such an amendment of
the laws of landlord and tenant as shall give to the improv-
ing tenant in occupation a sufficient permanency of tenure,
or else establish the tenant's right to claim by law full com-
pensation for all benefits created by the expenditure of his
labour and capital on the premises in his occupation.—Tues-
day, Feb. 2.
Mr. William Smith O'Brien—To propose an absentee tax
for Ireland.—Tuesday, Feb. 9.
Mr. Ricardo—Select Committee on navigation laws.—
Tuesday, Feb. 9.

Or. llewring—Resolutions for adding to the safety of the
public revenue and the improvement of the public accounts.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
ROLLS' COURT, Jun. 27.

THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. THE IRONMONGERS' COMPANY

This was a petition, praying for the payment of the cost
of certain advertisements which had been incurred by the
petitioner. It appeared that a charity of 150,0001., which
had been left for the purpose of ransoming British captives
in Turkey and Barbary, had by a decree of the Court been
diverted into the maintaining of certain schools in this
country. The petitioner advertised the existence of this
charity, and demanded the payment of the expenses of the
same, which was resisted by the defendants, who are trustees
of the charity.
Mr. Cooper appeared in support of the petition, Mr.
Wray for the Attorney-General, and Mr. Kindersley for the
Ironmongers' Company.
The case concluded to-day, but his Lordship deferred
judgment to afford the parties an opportunity for arrange.
ment, and directed the matter to be mentioned on Saturday
next.
