GOODTITLF., ON THE DEUWE OF LINCOLN COLLEGE, v.
THE HET. lIARTLEY LEE.

This wax an action of ejectment brought by Dr. Tatham,
Principal of Lincoln College, in the University of Oxford,
against the Rev. Bartley Lee, to recover possession of the parish
church, churchyard, and parsonage house of the parish of
Combo, in this county.

The following eiretimsmnees gave rise to the present action
About three years ago, ilr. Lee, the defenda.nt, was appointed
by Dr. Tatham to the curacy of Combo, cf which the Princi-
pal of Linccdn College is lay unpropriator, by virtue, of his vf.
flee. Mr. Lee continued to exercise his clerical functions ; but
at last having given some offence to Dr. Tatham, he received a.
notice of dismissal. This he refused to obey, alleging that he
mild not be thus summarily discharged, but that an Appeal
ought previously to be made to the Bishop of the diocese. The
question, therefore for trial was, whether the Principal of Lin.
coin College had the power at any time, and at his mere plea.
sure, to dismiss the curate of Combe. -

that, at sir events, he could not, under

palled from the parsonagehouse and grounds without the con.'
sent of the Bishop.
The Jury, under the direction of the Learned Serjeant,
found a verdict for the plaintiff for all the-premises upon the
demise laid in the college ; but leave was given ..to the de.
fondant to move to reduce the verdict to the church and church.

THE KING, ON THE paosr.curtog OE' THE. REV. DR. TA.
TIIA AGAINST LORD ettant.EstartlitClllLL) TILE REV.
BARTLEY LEE, AND OTHERS.
This indictment had its originin the circumstances which
led to the trial of the last cause. It charged Lord Charles
Churchill; Mr. Lee the curate, the churchwarden Mr. Bentimai
the son of a respectable farmer named Iluilson, and twenty
labourers, who, with one exception, were parishioners of
Combe, with a riot and assault, in the clitirch‘yard, on Sun.
day the 29th of September last. There was a countcharging
a riotonly ; a count charging an assault on a constable named
Austin, in the execution of his duty ; and a count charging
an assault on four other individuals. Al the question of right
was disp?sed of in the former cause, it was thought this would
not be tried, but the prosecutor insisted on a concession, to
which the defendants refused to submitiand in Spite Of a t rig
11
intimation from the Bench, after the ease had. been Partly de-
veloped, proceeded to the end.
It appeared on the evidence' of Dr.. Tatham, and of three per.
1104 i who had acted on hiabehitlf, that 011 the:illondayor Tues-
day previous to the 29thkof September,- be wile iwasent when 41i.
:colons were given to police:officers of Oxford to puKeett
(onrbe for the purpose of taking possession' of, the church,. in
which Mr. Lee had hitherto perfonnetl,the dude*. on Thurs.:
day, these men, 'five in.numberf :went to_ Combe, broke •opeii,
the lock of the church, 'obtained possession, and directed a

smith to put fresh locks on the doors. One man, named Stoeve,
was left in the church on Saturday night, " to protect it from
depredation and danger." Early on gutiday morning, crowds
began to assemble in the church-yard, which increased as the
hour approached for performing divine service. Dr. Tatham had
given no notice to Mr. Lee of his intention to visit cite church,
and to perform the duty, but the parishioners appeared to be
aware of his design. T. assist Dr. Tatham, the gamekeepers
of the Duke of Marlborough, some farmers of the neighbour-
hood, and the men from Oxford, assembled in the morning, ;did
some of them breakfasted at the house belonging to the Lector,,
in the village. Between 9 and 10 Dr. Tatham himself ap-
peared, dressed in his canonical habits, and attended by Air.
Roberson his solicitor, and two of Mr. Roberson's sons, who are
exhibitioners of Lincoln College. He attetnpted lira to get into
the church by the ehaueale but the mob cryttsg out, '" No Tat-
ham," "Lee for ever !" deterred him, anti he returned to his
house alarmed, but without receiving personal injury. SoMe
of his own party had obtained possession or the other door by
the porch, and he now attempted' to obtain entrance by this til-
rectiop, ileel/4 however,. he saw n mob, among whom were
some of the Inferior defendants, puilUter out those who
were guarding the door for him, which was tinally effect.
ed ; —and he again, after admonishing the, people to behave
peaceable, retired to his house. While this scene was passing,
Mr. Lee, the curate, who was also habited in his sup ice was
walking up and down the church-path, in company with the
defendant, Lord Charles Churchill, and Mr., Lee, a solicitor,
of Ducklington. Ile said nothing then, but rendered assistance
to one of the adverse party who had been thrown ower a grave-
stone, and, on approaching the door, desired that it might be
opened, and ordered that these men should he remoYed who
were preventing hint from performing the service. Mr.
Bumpas, the Churchwarden, attempting to open the door
with a key, but it proved to be locked inside ; and Timothy
Slingo, another defendant, broke it open with a crow-bar.
Mr. Lee, Lord Charles Churchill, and the successful
party, then entered the church, and Air. Lee performed the
service • Dr. Tatham retiring without further contention. It
appeared that Lord Churchill did not interfere actively at all ;
but one of the witnesses said that he called out " Do your
duty," while the friends of Mr. Lee were expelling their ad-
/vagaries front the porch ; and another, that he exelahned,
" Rush on, do your duty—pull them out—stick to your Cu.
rate." Several of the defendants were not named at all by the
witnesses, according to whose testimony there were 400 or NO
persons collected.
Lord Churchill, Mr. Lee, Mr. Bumpas, and Mr. Hudson
defended separately front the other defendants. The Counsel
engaged severally addressed the Jury for their clients, but
called no witnesses.

The Learned Serjeant expressed his deep regret at the whole
proceeding ; and left the Jury to say whether' any riot was
coinmitted, and, if so, who were concerned in its progress.—
Ile thought they must, at all events, acquit the defendants on
the count for assaulting; Austin in the execution of his duty,
as he was dearly not performing his duty at the time when he
complained of violence.
The Jury retired for three quarters of an hour, and, on,
their return into Court, found Timothy Slingo, Edward Col.
let, and James Harris, jun., three of the labouring men,
guilty on the second count, charging a riot merely ; and tic.
.quitted Lord Churchill, Mr. Leo, and all the ether deftuidants.
The trial lasted till half past °nein the morning.

Alban's, against the defendant; a brielanaker of that town,
possessed of considerable property, for an alleged libel of and
concerning the.plaintifrs conduct as Postmaster, imputing to
him, in substance, that he had destroyed a letter addressed by
the defendant to the Rev. Thomas Bowman, at Ilawkhurst, in
the county of Lancaster; which letter had been put into the
Post-office at St. Alban's. The libel was contained in a letter
to Air., Freeling, Secretary to the General Post-office.
The Jury found their verdict for the plaintiff—Damages
Twenty Pounds; Costs, 40s.
MA nett B.—The Assizes for this county linisfied at a late
hour this evening. On the Crown side there were nine capital
convictions, and out of the.whole Calendar, containing thirty-
one' eases, there Was, hut one acquittal. The following are the
names of the capital convicts and their offences:--.'Thomas
Hoskin:: and. llezekiah Draper, for horse-stealing; Wm. Paine
and John Todd, for burglary ; Thomas Chapman, for high-
way robbery ; George Brace, Samuel Barby, William Green,
and John Turvey, for sheep-stealing.
The prisoners Brace, Herby, Green, and Turvey, had formed
part of a desperate_gang of :thieves who have long infested the
neighbourhood of' Hertingfordbury.- Against Brace and Darby
there were no less than five charges, two of which were for
burglary, and the remainder for sheep-stealing. In some of
these latter chsrges Green and Turver were implicated. To
one of the charges of burglary, and one of sheep-stealing,
.Brace and Barby pleaded. Guilty. On the' others they took
their trials with Green and Turvey. Another man, nam-
ed Abraham Cock:tan, • who had been. a Publican, • was in-
dicted as a receiver of part of asheep stolen by Brace and Barby,
the property of Sir Abraham Hume, Bart., knowing it to have
been stolen. lie was found Guilty, and sentenced to 14 years'
transportation. The prosecurion was conducted .by JEs.
sore. The Principal witness against these convicts was a man
named Benjamin Tap, who had been an accomplice, and he
deposed to the various acts. depredation Imputed to the pri-
soners, and in which he himself waa a principal actor. The
prisoners had been what are called trampers about the country,
living in a tent, and' plundering every person whose property
they could seize. In passing sentence of Death upon these four
men, the Learned Judge held out no hopes of mercy. The re-
maining unhappy convicts were reprieved.

CIVIL SlDE.—nitnn V. SIMKINS.
This was an action of trespass for entering upon a farm call.
ed Privy Farm, in the possession of the plaintiff, and seizing a
large quantity of farming stock, his property.
This was the second trial of the same cause of . action. .At
the.last Summer Assizes the plaintiff had a verdict, and in
Ililary Term a new trial was awarded. 'l'he plaintiff claimed
the property in question under a bill of sale, ex,e.cttted to hint
by a 141r.-'rlionias Archer, lessee of Lord John Townsliend, of
Priory Farm, near:Hertford. Archer,had become a hank;
rapt, and his assignees, took possession of the, fanning stock• in.
question under the commission ;. and the question was, whether
the. plaintiff had a right to . the, proprrtt under the bill. of
sale to him so as to defeat the..title of ;the assignees. A
new trial had been granted on the ,ground that the ,c

ROMAN ,CAlrklo
Mn. Entrott—For the instruction of
,your
Correspondent Iperamus,-1 beg leave to state
that the infallibility of) the Pope.as supreme head
of the Roman Catholic Church, very far from
being, a point insisted upon by any Member or
that I.Thurch, is one that is never admitted as port
of his belief. What the Roman Catholic believei
is, that the decisions of a Council) canonically
constituted, and freely deliberating, and deckl-
ing, are those of truth itself; and this belief is
founded upon the promises that Christ made to
his church that the gates of hell should never'
prevail against, her. Bat a convincing proof that
the Catholic Church never admitted the infalli-
bility of the Pori!, is that some have beensen-
sured, and even exposed, by Cottheils of the
Church.

The Pope is considered by Roman Catholics
as a descendant and representativo of St. Peter in
the See of Rome, for the same reason that the
present Archbishop of Canterbury considers
himself, and is considered by Protestants, as the
descendant and representative of St. Augustine,
viz., because he is the last of a series of Prelates
that have successively filled that See from its first
erection to the preseutday. > Ignoramus says that
he believes a long period elapsed between the
death of St. Peter and the first appearence of the
Pope, As I know neither how many weeks, he
may consider as a long period, nor what he means
by (he first apearance of the Pope, 1 must, of ne-
cessity, leave that part of Ins remarks unanswer-
ed. lam also, though with considerable reluc-
tance, compelled to pass over the hisdorical part
of his epistle, for the very simple reason that I
do not know what he means. He seems to imply
that the authority of the Papal See was esta-
blished by the Emperor of Germany. Hut I
imagine that by consulting the records of History
with a little more attention, he will find that
Popes, or Bishops of Rome, existed some centu-
ries before the dignity of Emperor of Germany
was so much as thought of. The same historical
inaccuracy, or confusion, exists in what he re-
lates concerning the schism of the west, but as a
refutation of his positions would extend far
beyond the limits of a letter, I must pass them,
over unnoticed.

That the interference of the Popes in the tem-
poral concern of Sovereigns has been, in many
instances, productive of considerable mischief, is
a fact which no one can deny ; and Tarn equally
ready to admit that such interference is pregnant
with danger to a State. But no Roman Cathodic
believes that the Pope has the right of any such
interference. The ignorance and barbarity
Which so universally prevailed duriiu what has
been very properly called the dark ages, no
doubt enabled the clergy, who a.lones were pos-
sessed of learning, to assume no inconsiderable
share of authority,,and thus materially tended to
establish the amazing temporal power which the
Popes once possessed ; but so unnatural A state of
timings gradually gave %%ay as civilization and
knowledge increased, without such change hay.,
ingi however, in the least a I feted the 11..ornun CO'
tbolic Creed., The Popes thernselves have aban.
.cloned a power which they had no right to pos.,
sees; and as we do not believe them infallible,
we cannot admit with Ignoramus that this change
in 'their political conduct has the least to do with
the question.

It is most true that the Roman Catholic Church
has thought fit .to order that the sacrament of the
Eucharist should now be given to the laity under
only one species ; but however sacred we may
consider this act, we cannot perceive that there is
any inconsistency in altering the manner of admi.
nistering it, nor that any such change of the ori-
ginal form, militates against the infallibility of
the Church ; still less can we admit, that because
a Church is infallible in its doctrines, it most
-therefore never be wrong in its ceremonial. Surely
doctrine and, ceremonial are not both similar ?
With respect• to the difference froe make be,
tween a PAPIST and a Roman Catholic, l leave
the solution of. that question to the. Protestant
brethren at Ignoramus, who have bestowed upon
us the former Appellation for no other reason, I
suppose, than because they thoulit we wor-
shipped the Pope!

CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES-
SITTusit) or MARCH 8. •
The Sitting was opened at two o'clock. There
'were Deptatieson the ,left side; a few Mem-
bers were seen on the left centre.
The PitEsiDEliT stated that he had -o?ceived a letter from
.M. Der Pavilion, beggirq the Chamber to excuse him far not
pertaking in its labours during this Session, his health not per..
mining him to quit the department.
Messrs. ('amelle, Teyesere, and Rodiere, .requested leave of
atieence, which was granted.
The Preeideet—The order of the day is the discussion of the
prirkaOSavieliilive'wthe veterans.
M. Alexander tie L .aborde is to speak (" he is absent.")
The President looked airiniig the Members present for those
who had inscribed their names ageinst the prej.ect. He called M.
'Bristerreche, who replied in a-' faw,words ,which we could not
heakand which the Alembees of ,the right side likewise tom.
plaihed of not hearing.
The President.-31.11asterreche says, that hawing spoken on
be tither law, and that being founded on the same motives, he
'refrains from taking part in the debate.
The President--ii. Sebastiani is to speak.
M. Sebastiani (from his place), " I spoke my opinion the day
• before yesterday. I have nothing to say."
The President then called M. Saglio' who was stated to be
absent ; and General Anthouard, who declined to speak ; on
which he said he had called on those Members who had inscribe
erl their names to speak against the project, and who were pre-
sent ; he then called on General Donnadieu to speak ire favour
of the project.
General Donnadieu spoke as follows i_Since I inscribed my
name to speak in favour of the projet, things have greatly.
changed. I now desire to speak, to examine thoroughly the
tonduct of the affairs of Spain. I have connected with this
. subject, which has already been treated of at length in your
preceding debates, all the other political considerations which
have led to the situation in which we are, as well as those in
segich we shall he engaged.—Every thing in this world is con-
vulsed ; superficial minds are struck only by the effects ; men
who exanune and reflect see only the .causes. I should have
said the whole truth, as it belongs to the frankness of my cha-
racter to say it, without fear and without hope, as I have said
it on other occasions : but, from a sentiment which it ie not ne-
cessary to justify under present circumstances, I think it my
duty to refrain from any thing that might have the slightest
mark of opposition ; and the more so, as it is perhaps to this
appearance of opposition, so legitimate and conscientious, that
1 owe the atrocious calumnies which have been circulated, for
sonic days past, so freely with respett to me—calumnies which
in other respects, have been equally lavished on my honourable
"friends-infamies, it is true, to which I ought to be accustomed,
- since, with lime small share of courage and talent, I have
been able to render some services to the Monarchy. In such
conjunctures 1 find myself doubly obliged to be silent. I de-
cline speaking.
M. Lefebvre Gineau retiring, the President called upon him
to epeak, but he declined.
The Marquis De la Caze spoke in favoUr of the law.
31. Clawiel de Conssergues observed, that no argument could
be adduced against this law but those which had been used
against that relative to the 100 millions. The question is the
same. Is the war with - Spain necessary ? Little has been
said on this subject. T shall only state some facts which
demonstrate that war is not to he carried on against Spain,
but against a military conspiracy, which, for the interest of
the conspirators alone, have endeaeoured: tosesteblish a sort of
Government entirely contrary to the will and. to the 'manners
of the nation ; consequently, France will be 'in this war only
• the auxiliary of Spam. Allovi me some details ; it is import.'
ant that they should be universally known when his Majesty's
Army is advancing to the frontiers of Spain. I shall take my
first proof from the acts of the Cortes themselves. While the
brave Spaniarde were combating Buonaparte, some men with-
out any mission, Composed at Cadiz the republic Constitu-
tion of 1812. 'When Spain was delivered, they did not ven-
ture to offer this pretended Constitution to the acceptance
of the towns and provinces, but ordered every Spaniard to
obey it, on the pain of being deprived of all public func-
tions, and even of being banished from Spain. This foul per.
eecutioa was not long, because the King returned. The Cortes,
. however, hail time to expel from his See the Holy Bishop of
()sense, who, during nine years, had afforded hospleility to 300
exiled Frentli Priests, and who would not recognise a vio-
. lent and illegal act which was calculated to produce in Spain
a revelation like that of France. The King of Spain, after,
seven year3' imprisonment, arrived on the frontiers of his king
.dons. • It would be supposed that the Cortes, who had imposed
a Constitution on the nation, would at least desire to have the
King's assent. No, gentlemen they decree that the King
atti4l proceed direct to Madrid, without exercising any act of
liortysl authority, till he shall have taken the oath to the Con-
atliution in the presence of the Cortes. Ferdinand, after so
long an caller finds not subjects, but absolute masters. He was
as much a prisoner in Spain as in France. The whole differ-
ence war, that instead of the walls of the Park of Valence), for
tie bounds of his prison, he was guarded by the soldiers of
e the Cortes on the great road from Roussillon to Madrid. The
Notierch, however, prevailed on this guard to let him visit the
feitliful and heroic city of Saragossa, which was not on the road
prescribed to him. Count Torreno, one of the authors of the
-Constitution of Cadiz, says in a work which lie has publish-
ed at Paris,. that this passing through Saragossa was already
a trensgreseton of the decree of the Cortes. Title double via.
lenee to the nation and the King, sufficiently proves that the
Government called Constitutional, which was abolished on the
arrival of the King at Madrid,. amidst the acclamations of the
capital and of all Spain was but the work of a faction.
A still stronger proof furnished by the attack of the Cortes
on religion Every body knows that the Spanish nation is re-
markable for its attachment to the Catholic religion, and the
• authors of the Constitution at Cadiz bore testimony to this by
Art. It--" The religion of the Spanish nation is, and shall
always-be, the Catholic, Apostolic, and Roman—the only
..true religion. The nation protects it by wise and just laws,
and prohibits the exercise of all others." This was the uni-
Verael opinion, to which the Cortes were forced to do homage ;
but do we wish to know how the friends and authors of the
Comeitotion *meek of it ? Count Toreno says, " The Legie-
lators of 1012 were obliged to pay so disgraceful a tribute to
the universal prejudice." ' (P. 124.) And 'again, when the
Pope refused the bulls for two Bishops appointed by the Go-
veretnent, a Statesman, who was well acquainted with the na-
tion, said, " Let the Court of Rome take care what it does
it does not know that the Spanish people have so much good
serve, that hi less than ten years they become Atheists."
The Houeurable Member having made sonic further remarks
on the self-intereetedness of the Constitutional party, proceeded
to refute the notion that France designed to tub' Spain to
the Inquisition and to absolute power. He stated, that Perth-
meet lusti resolved to assemble the legitimate Cortes, according
to the ancient laws, and ordered them to be convoked for the
7th of March, 18211. The next day his palace was attacked by
conspiratore, and lie was obliged to sign the Constitution of
Cadiz. The Tloncurable Member then vindicated the charac-
ter of Ferdinand, observing, that in six-years, from 1014 to
1020, only' hree persons suffered capitally for political offences.
M. Mareellus made an animated speech in favour of the
law.—" The throne of the King," lie said, "is in danger,
when a person of his family is a captive, and threatened on
leis throne."
M. Dupont, the reporter, having stated the grounds which
. had guided the Committee, the project of the law who put to
