whole question to the decision of the Legislature. The
Learned. Gentleman then proceeded to inquire, Ist, Whe.
th'er the College had in any fair degree answered the purposes
for which it was intended, and not whether there_ was any
probability' of those purposes being answered by the substi-
tuted establishment now proposed. The Learned Gentle.
man argued that the College had fulfilled the objects which it
was instituted to attain, end pointed out the defects of the sys-
trn which would be established if the motion were agreed to.
In point of integrity and efficiency for the performance of their
duties, the great body of their Civil Servants were more distin-
guished at present than at any former period. No less than
5-7ths of these servants were supplied from Hayleybury Col-
lege, and the source which supplied so large a portion of meri-
torious functionaries could not be corrupt and worthless as
it had been described. To prove the general improvement of
the junior department of the service in India, he quoted the
Addresses of the Marquis of Hastings at the College of Fort
William in 1818 and 1822, and observed that the individuals
who were the most distinguished were Members of the calum-
niated Institution at Hayleybury. From these and a variety
of other facts, he contended that the College had answered
the purposes for which it was instituted. The Learned
Gentlemen then compared with great minuteness the system
of examination in public viva voce, which was now recom-
mended, and the. examination in writing at present pursued
at the College, and gave his opinion decidedly in favour
of the latter. He also defended, at' considerable length, the
practice of allowing the examinations to be conducted by the
Professors. The Learned Gentleman then adverted to the
charge of immorality which had been levelled against the Col-
lege, and contended that at Hayleybury there was more moral
conduct than was to be found at either of the Universities.
At six o'clock an Adjournment of the debate till Friday,
March 5, was moved and agreed to.

COURT OF CHANCERT--,(Tms DAY.)

ERRONEOUS NOTIONS RESPECTING the COURT.
LORD CHANCELLOR—As it has been repre-
sented that the person who sits here does wis-
chief by hearing certain motions without the sig-
nature of Counsel, that is to say, when motions
have been made to discharge an order of the
Vice-Chancellor orAlie-Xaster of-the Rolls, that
such motions have been brought on without the
signature of the Counsel,—I have only to state,
that having- been in this Court since the year
1775, whenever a motion has been made before
the Master or the Rolls, which he has refused to
allow, or which he did allow,-and,upon an appl:-
cation to the Chancellor to vary' what the 'Master
of the Rolls had done, or to devroy it alto-
gether; and so, again, whenever a motif n has
been made before the Chancellor, and Counsel
have been of opinion that the motion had been im-
properly granted,- or discharged, the party has
• always in all those cases been at liberty to move
again with a view to set the matter right, and if
again with
the signature of Counsel be necessary to alter the
practice of the Court, as it has obtained since
the period I have mentioned, all I can say is,
that I haveinot a right to tax the King's subjects
in that way. With respect to appeals and re-
hearings, it is supposed that I have heard them
on new evidence, and thereby brought dis-
credit on some part of the Court. It is an
utter falsehood ! On re-hearings it is always
competent to read the evidence given in
the cause, though it was not read in the
Court below either by the Counsel or the
Judge—further than that the Court does not go.
On appeals it only reads what has been read in
the Court below, and that practice I have never
departed from in any one instance—therefore •
really before things are so represented, partieu.:
larly by Gentlemen with gowns on their -backs,
they should at least take care to be accurate, for •
it is their business to be so.

Mr. AGAR—Upon motions it would be impos.4-
sible for Counsel to certify.

LORD CHANIPELLOR-Such motions as I have,
referred to, have been made for half a century
and never with the signature of Counsel, and yet
the public are told that the signature of Counsel
is necessary by Act of Parliament, and that I havo
dispensed with it.

PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS, Fun. 27.

The LORD CHANCELLOR gave notice, that the House,
on its meeting on Monday next, would be moved to proceed to
judgment in the Queensberry causes.
The Bishop of EXETER presented a Petition from Great
Torrington, praying for relief from the duty on coals carried
coastwise.

Lord HEREFORD presented a petition from a place in
Essex, praying for the amelioration of the situation of slaves in
the British Colonies. The petition was laid on the table ; but
a short time after it was withdrawn, in consequence of an in-
formality being discovered in it.
Mr. STUART WoitTLEY and others from the Commons
brought up the Leeds Tithe Regulation Bill.
IRELAND.

The Earl of LIVE RP6(sl:lidon the table several returns
relative to Irish tithes and other matters which had been moved
for in anticipation of Lord Darnley's motion. The Noble Earl
said the returns were extremely complicated and imperfect, but
he thought it right to present them, such as they were, that they
might be pr' d, and an opportunity afforded for consulting
them before tl'!€ motion on the state of Ireland 'came on.- Other
papers might be moved for, to supply the deficiencies.
The Marquis of LANSDOWN observed, that it might be
convenient for Noble Lords to know that it was not the inten-
tion of his Noble Friend (Lord Darnley) to bring on the ino-
Lion of which he had given notice on Tuesday next. He
wished to put it off for some time, and would renew his
notice after all the information which could he procured on
the subject should be before the House. It was his Noble
Friend's intention to attend in his place on Tuesday next,
when he would move for further papers, and fix a distant day
for his motion.

The Transfer of aid's sill, the Reciprocity Duties Bill, the
Exchequer Bills Bill, and the Irish Law Courts Bill, were
read a second time.

The Marriage Act Amendment Bill was reported.—Ad-
journed.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.

Mr. R. MARTIN presented a petition from certain inha-
bitants of Liverpool, praying for the abolition of Bull-baiting
and other cruel sports, and also for some measure for the pre-
vention of cruelty to Dogs. As to bull-baiting, the Honour-
able Member said it was already illegal, according to the opi-
nion of a very high law authority.—The petition was laid oi,
the table.

Alderman WOOD presented a petition from some
parish in Devonshire, against the Duty on Coal and Culm.—
Laid on the table.

Lord G. SOMERSET presented a petition from the in-
habitants of the town of Bury St. Edmund's, praying for the
Abolition of Slavery.—Laid on the table.
Sir W. INGILBY presented a petition from a place in Lin-
colnshire (we did not hear the name,) praying for some mea-
sure for the more etrectual recovery of small debts.
Mr. H. SUMNER presented a petition from Dorking, in
Surrey, for the repeal of the duty on Coals.
IRISH MINES.
On the motion of Mr. S. RICE, leave was given to bring
in a Bill for Incorporating a Company for working Mines in
Ireland.

there no Bills. Our belief is, that in all the
crafts we have named, there would be, on the
average, less fraud or impropriety if there
were no Bills. We cannot imagine why Mr.
Martin and his Constituents are so alive to
the sufferings of a bear, a bull, a horse,
or a donkey, when, for a day together, they
ride after a fox, a deer, or a hare, till it
drops down dead of a broken heart ; when fre-
quently the horse dies of the fatigue of convey-
ing the hare's pursuers, or when Mr. Martin and
his constituents are out a whole day firing off
guns loaded with shot, which in size are, in com-
parison with partridges, like bullets to men,
killing one when they fire, but sending ten
wounded into the hedges or woods to bleed to
death. As Mr. Peel justly observed, this
mania for Bills may be carried to too great
an extent. Mr. Martin should rather assist
the Ministers to get rid of Acts of Parlia-
ment, than strive to enact more. The greatest
evil that afflicts this country is its Acts
of Parliarnent. We hope to see a stop put to
this Bill-making. It may be called the disease
arising from the democratical nature of the third
part of our Constitution. Every Member must
be legislating for the benefit of the State ; and
every Member is teased by his constituents to
bring forth a law, till the people become
so law-ridden, that at length they deliver
themselves up to some enterprising absolute
King. Mr. Martin boasts of his petitions ;
these are the last things a Member should boast
of, for any body can procure petitions, which
people too generally sign because others have
signed them—often without knowing their pre-
cise meaning. This observation especially applies
to the country ; there, when a petition is pro-
posed, the Clergyman, the Medical man, and
the Solicitor, are commissioned to go round—and
who can refuse his signature under such circum-
stances ? We remember, when the mania raged for
educating every labourer's son and daughter, that
the profession and the gentry went round to get
people to put their names down in a book
to subscriptions, and he who would not subscribe
—he who had a different opinion, was looked
upon as an outlandish being; and, in many cases,
the Clergy, till they began to reflect as to what
would eventually befall their tithes, told non-
subscribers, in plain terms, that they were no
better than the heathen.

tention.

" Lord Liverpool says, in his speech, that the
most wise course is to leave the Spaniards to
quarrel amongst themselves."

The Gazette of Madrid says the following on
that subject:—

"This way of thinking is that of a country
where they see with pleasure two-men fight until
one of them falls dead ; but it is fortunate for us
that the French Government look upon us with
more compassion than Lord Liverpool."
" According to the British Minister, Spain
ought to have made concessions, not to France,
but to Spain herself."—" His Excellency will
permit us," says the Spanish writer, " to observe,
" that this way of speaking is not intelligible
except to himself."

" Lord Liverpool thinks that Spain ought to
lose her Colonieb because she refused the medi-
ation of England."

" No," says the Spanish Journalist, " we are
convinced of the bad intentions of all the Revo-
lutionists in the world, and we think if their
projects are promoted, it will prove prejudicial
to all the world. According to this principle,
we believe that the recognition of the inde-
pendence of our American Colonies will be dan-
gerous, not only to Spain, but also to England."

PARLIAMENT,

HOUSE OF LORDS, FEB. 16.
The LORD CHANCELLOR informed the House, that
Sir Geo. Henry Rose wished that his son should, with their
Lordships' permission, act as his substitute as clerk, instead' of
Mr. Birch, who had hitherto discharged the duty. The Noble
and Learned Lord, after highly commending the manner in
which Mr. Birch had executed the duties of the offiee, moved
that the request of Sir George Rose be complied with.
The Earl of LIVERPOOL concurred in the approbation
which the Chancellor had expressed of Mr. Birch's conduct,
and supported the motion. He also availed himself of the
opportunity which this question afforded, to remind their Lord-
ships of the conversation which took place a few days ago, re-
specting the appointment of a Committee to inquire into the
state of the office of Clerk of Parliament, and intimated that
he would on some early day call their Lordships' attention to
the appointment of a Committee by which the entire regulation
of the.office should be taken into consideration.

_ .
Lord HOLLAND thought that no time ought to be lost in
commencing the inquiry. The present was the most conve-
nient time for the execution of such a task, and the whole sub-
ject ought to be gone into.
The motion being agreed to, Mr. Rose took his place at the
table.

A person from the Custom-house presented copies of orders
of Council exempting vessels belonging to the Kingdoms of
Hanover and the Netherlands from taking en board pilots in
certain cases ; and also for levying duties on American vessels.
The Bishop of EXETER presented a petition, from a place
the name of which was not heard, praying for relief from the
duty on coals carried coastwise.

The Marquis of LANSDOWN moved for a variety of
papers relating to Ireland, as the composition of tithes, opera-
tion of the Insurrection Act, &c. These papers, he observed,
had already been ordered to be laid before the ouse of Com-
mons, and he wished them to be on the table of their Lord-
ships' house previous to t 11• discussion of the motion of which
a Noble Earl (Darnley), not then in his place, had given no-
tice. The papers were ordered.—Adjourned.

vanced to 3il premium, on the contracting price.
In Spanish Bonds there has been considerable
fluctuation. The Bonds of 1821 were done as
high as 261, but they afterwards declined to 25,
and closed at The Jamaica Mail which ar-
rived on Sunday night, it was expected would
have brought the new Minister from Colombia ;
but he has not arrived, nor does the Mail bring
any news that could in the least operate on the
value of the Colombian Bonds. Amongst the
passengers brought by the packet was another of
the Colombian Commissioners appointed to inves-
tigate the claims of the Bondholders here on the
Colombian Government; but as yet his arrival
has not been officially announced.

[MORNING CHRONICLE.]
We have been looking forward with the
greatest anxiety to the Motion of Lord Nugent,
which stands for this day. Though the Papers
which his Lordship will ask for may not be
granted, Ase shall no doubt receive from Mr.
Canning an account of the substance of the in-
structions sent from time to time to Sir William
A'Court, and of the communications received
from him. We are, it is true, but too well ac-
quainted with the tendency of the course pur-
sued by the Representatives of the British Go-
vernment in Spain, and those who acted under
him ; but still it will be edifying in the extreme
to hear Mr. Canning declaiming one moment
in praise of a well-regulated freedom, compli-
menting the Democracy of the United States on
the excellence of their institutions, and the
next extolling the anxiety of Sir Wm. A'Court
to restore the captive Monarch of Spain safe
and sound to that liberty of which he has made
so noble an use. By the bye, if Mr. Can-
ning revert to the difference between the pre-
sent and the past relative position of Great Bri-
tain and the Continent, it would be gratifying
where he to remove the uneasiness which his last
speech occasioned with respect to a point of some
importance. lie told us that the Continent was
now shared by predominant Powers, which were
beyond the reach of our might ; and that it
would be uise in us to move in our own orbit
hereafter, without scanning too nicely the at-
tempts of these Powers at aggrandizement. But
if we can no longer reach the predominant
Powers, are they in like manner unable to reach
us ? Can we hope to move in our own orbit
without interruption from them ? We confess we
have our doubts on this delicate subject.

BOXERS.

SPRING AND LAwGax::-Oftlie vast assemblages upon any
sporting subject within our recollection, nothing exceeded that
which our informant met with at Belcher's last night. Talent
of every sort and size was there assembled up3n the tiptoe of
expectation for the making of a second match between Spring
and Langan, for 500 sovereigns, on the terms already
stated. A sovereign each only was staked, and neither
of the men appeared. The 1001. on the part of Langan was
ready, and offered to be staked by a Sportsman, who paid every
compliment to the manhood of Spring. Neither of the men
appearing, and more than a thousand persons being present,
some clamour seemed to be arising. Belcher showed the
articles, which we have already published, and the company
were informed that Langan's absence arose from unavoidable
circumstances. The company wire satisfied.

dating the Debts of the late Nabob of tiw Car-
natic, came up to claim his discharge, which was
not opposed. The Insolvent, however,
went a minute examination by Mr. Commission,r
nowt:Nl, when it appeared lie was to resume his
situation again, and attributed his insolvency to
the acceptance of accommodation bills for a friend.
The Learned •Commissioner observed, that per.
sons were highly culpable who put their names
to bills, and entered into ensr,agernents of a pe-
cuniary nature, when the:), well knew their
to fulfil awns. It was fortunate that no
one opposed on the hills or the case might be
materially altered, and in their absence the Court
declared the Insolvent hititled to his discharge.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

VICEXUANCELLOR'S, COURT, Auousr

argued in the Rolls' Court. Lord (;IFFORD then proceeded
to hear petitions and motions for the Lord Chancellor.

BRECV E L L AND OTHERS V. HODSON.
In this case the plaintiff's had been owners of a vessel called
The True Blue, and in the year 1821 they agreed to dispose of
a share in it to the defendant for 6501. The defendant paid the
money, but the assignment was not executed. In the mean
time he proceeded on several voyages in the vessel as captain,
for which he was to be allowed a salary. The plaintiffs, how-
ever, thought proper some time ago to dispose of the whole
vessel without the consent or privity of the defendant, upon
which he commenced an action against them in the Lancaster
Courts for the recovery of the 6501. purchase-money, and of other
sums which he claimed fur salary due to him as Captain of the
ship in the voyages above Mentioned. The plaintiff's obtained
an order for an injunction to restrain the defendant ( the plaintiff'
at law) front proceeding with his action until he ►ad first ac-
counted before the Zlaster for several large sums alleged to
have been received by him for passage and freight-money upon
several of these voyages, which, it fairly accounted for, it was
contended, would leave a balance due by him to the plaintiffs.
The defendant having served notice upon the plaintiff's of a
motion to dissolve the injunction, that motion now came on to
be argued.
Mr. Hong E supported the injunction on the grounds above
stated.

Mr. PEMBERTOS contended that the Court ought nut to
interfere to stop Mr. Hodson from proceeding for the recovery
of the money he had paid for the purchase which the plaintiffs
had never carried into effect; but, on the contrary, they had
thought proper to dispose of the vessel without his privity, and
put his 6501. into their pockets.
Lord GIFFORD was of opinion that the defendant ought n
to be prevented from bringing his action; and if the other party
had a counterclaim against him, they might plead a set of.,
and prove it on the trial.—lnjunction dissolved.

This was an application by the infantatand

perty to a very large amount, and prayed that,
after paying.offcertain incumbrances, the leglities
should be paid over to the petitioners ;!thataite-

the accounts of the respective managers of'.the
plantations abroad, and that, On the receipt, of
the different consignments to this country,,the

read, the Lona Cu A SCELLOII directed an inquiry

considerable sums in the hands of the trustees,
who had paid the same over, and that the con-
signee had now ready for sale the last consign-
ment from' Jamaica. The lteceivcr had passed

CHARGE OF STEALING OUT OF A LETTER.

MANsiox -HousE.,lllar ilia Tribble was brought before
the LORD' MAYOR charged with having feloniously stolen the
sum of 22/. in bank-notes out of a letter directed from the
country to London. A Solicitor,-Mr. Dowurro who conduct.
ed the prosecution for the Post-office, stated that on the 20th
July, a gentleman of property, residing at Langworthy, near
Oakhampton, transmitted a letter, as he thou ght, from that
place to the metropolis, inclosing 22/. consisting of three N. coun.
try notes, one 11. country note, and six 11. Bank of England
notes. This letter was, regularly delivered at the Post-office at
Langworthy,and by the regular course should have been delivered
in London on the morning of the 30th. It did not however reach its
proper destination. Complaint was made of the non-arrival of the
letter, and the Postrnaster-General,being determined to use every
effort for the protection of the public against robbery, set an ac.
tive investigation on foot. Itice, the officer of Union-hall, suc-
ceeded in tracing the notes to the prisoner. It was ascertained that
on the morning on which the letter ought to have been deliver.
ed, three 111. country notes.were changed by a woman, whose ap-
pearance the clerk had forgotten, and that the six 11. Bank of
England notes were changed by a woman, who gave the name
and. address, " Martha Crooks, Maze Ponell Bermondsey," as
her's. This address was found to be fictitious, and Mice ob.
tamed such information as induced him to apprehend the pri-
soner. When lie took her into custody she betrayed great
confusion, and ,at length admitted that she had changed the
notes in question, partly at the Bank of England, and partly
at the banking-houses, where the country notes were made
payable. The letter, enclosing the notes, was directed. to a
gentleman residing in Sise.lane. The prisoner now declared
that she had found the notes on the morning of the 30th July,
at the end of Size-lane. Her poverty, she said, prompted her
to get them changed for her own benefit. She denied that she
had: used a wrong name or address, as Martha Crooks was her
maiden name and she had formerly resided at Maze Pond.--
Rice said she had not resided there these fourteen years.
The Loaf.) MAYOR said, it was no legal justification for the
appropriation ,of the money to prove that it had been found by
the prisoner. The common notion of a right to appropriate
property that was found, ought by this time, after the repeated
conviettons that had taken place, to be exploded. The prisoner
was remanded.

BRIGHTON, AuG. 17.

Yesterday, the natal day of the COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF,
the British flag was displayed on the venerable tower of the
Parish Church, and the bells were rung merrily during' the
greater part of the morning. Soon after noon his Royal High-
ness crossed from the Palace to the Royal York Hotel, on a
visit to the Count and Countess Lieven ; and subsequently be
was on horseback, attended by Lord Alvanley. The Royal
Duke's dinner party yesterday included fourteen Noblemen and
Gentlemen, among whom were the Duke of Dorset, the Earl
of Chi Chester, the Earl of Glengall, Lord Alvanley, the Right

LAW INTELLIGENCE,

COURT OP CHANCERY, Nov. 2.
0 LI) BANKRUPT PETITIONS.
When his Lordship came into Court, he intimated his belief
that he had now read all the bankrupt petitions urn papers
that are before him for judgment, of which he was anxious to
disencumber himself as soon as possible. He would therefore
state on Thursday (as he will not sit to-morrow) the judgments,
and the dayS on which he will give those judgments.
BANKRUPTCY.
Mr. SPENCE understood his Lordship had received a package
from Liverpool, relating to a commission of bankrupt which
had been executed in South AMer'ea ; and as that package had
been sent to his Lordship instead of having been regularly
livered to the Solicitor here, it Was apprehended. that some
irrereioguuslaconsrity might have taken place which might be of most
sequence.
The LORD CHANCELLOR had received a package which
appeared to him, from what he could conjecture, to be inter.
rogatories upon parchment: and provided he was correct
in supposing that package related to the subject in question
Mr. Spence alluded to, if the Solicitors on both sides would
meet him in- hisprivate room befhre he came into Court on
Thursday morning, the package should be opened in their pre.
sence.'
Mr. SPENCE promised that the two Solicitors should be de.
aired to do so.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Nov. 2.
lIVIINE V. raiding,.
Mr. Fitxmcn, as the Judges were rising, begged to mention
this case, in which the defendant obtained a rule td show cause
why there should not be a new trial. Ile was Counsel for the
dekridAnt, who, as his colleague 111 r. Cooper was dead, looked
entirely to him, and at present he was in an ill suite of health.
He was anxious, theretorel that the case should not be taken
till after the early part of the term.
The LOAD CHIEF JUSTICE said it was impossible to ap-'
point the case specially, as that course always produced incond
venience to some one.

.111 r. FItENCII said he did not wish that the case should ba
specially appointed, but only postponed for the present. •
The Lonn CHIEF-JUSTICE suggested that it might meet
the wishes of the Learned Counsel if the Court now said they
would not take the case at the present Sittings.
111 r. Frunica assented; and the matter dropped, with an
understanding that the case ut all events will not be argued'
before terni.
The other proceedings were entirely destitute of interest.

POETRY.

A FAREWELL TO AUTUMN.
Farewell lovely auttmin, thy lastcharm bath faded,
Chill winter approaches, in rude blowing stOrms
Farewell to the joys which thy short reign pervaded,
No more the bright sunbeam the young bosom warms.
The leaves that bloomed round me, in sadness are streaking
The path, where so fondly I lingered before,
Past scenes of enjoyment in sorrow awaking,
Which memory whispers, for ever are o'er !

Life dawns on our youth, like the sun when he's rising,
We hasten to bask in its soul cheering ray,
And fancy the hopes; we so fondly are prizing,
Will shine through the rest of our sunniest day ;.
But soon the dark clouds of affliction oppress us,.
Our hopes die away as the sun disappears,
How blest then the heirt, which securely possesses
A sunbeam within that can light all its years.

CATHOLIC ASSOCIATION.

On Saturday (26th) the Catholic Association
met at their rooms, Capelsstreet. JAMES O'CON•
NELL wns culled to the• Chair.
Mr. CONWAY stated that he had written to Lord Holland,
and enclosed the petition to him, which it was resolved should
be intrusted to his Lordship for presentation in the House of
Lords. Ile had received an answer from his Lordship, which
he should hand to the Secretary. Those letters were then read.
The following copy, of the reply of Lord Holland:—
. House, June 17-
" Gentlemen,--I had di.' honour to receive your letter and
petition this morning ; 1 beg you to accept my beet thanks' for
the very flattering reasons you have assigned far 'notating the
petition to my care, and it I. have .lave neglected to comply
request that should present it to the House of Lords, with your
s, 'entreat
you not to ascribe that neglect to any want of a due sense of the
obliging manner in which you signified
the subject. ;
your wishes to me on

" My motives in withholding the petition are my persua-
sion that it would not be received by the House,. and my appre.
hension that a rejection of it would I
mve a tendency to defeat,
rather than promote the objects yoit had in view in conveying
it to Parliament. The petition is unquestionably irregular,
especially as in the body of it you deprecate the only proceeding
which the House could, with any propriety, institute on a
complaint, founded on a report of what had passed in debate
in the Houle. Any ireport of a debate, true or false, is a
breach of privilege, and the House could not well allow it to be
broughtbefore them, much less to make it the ground of any
proceeding, without *icing and punishing it as such. On the
other hand, the circulation of calumnies, however base or un.
founded, against either individuals or asses of his Majesty's
subjects„ is punishable by other tribunals, and does not come
within the original jurisdiction of the Upper House of Parlia.
MOIL It is clear, therefore, that the House would either .pro.
ceed against the printer of The Times, for purporting to give a
report of the debates, or would reject the petition. The first of
those proceedings would be directly contrary to the wishes you
express in she petition, and the last would give some publicity
and currency to a story which I can assure you has made no
sensation here, without atlbrding you any additional opportuni-
ty of investigating the truth, or exposing the falsehood of the
statement of which you complain.
" I have the you
to be, Gentlemen,_

.. .. _
" Your obliged and obedient hunible servant,
VASSAL HOLLAND."

Mr. O'Gnaatarr then read a letter which had been addressed
by Mr. Broughton to Mr. Conway; and a letter from Mr.
flume relative to the petition on the subject of tithes, which
had been Intrusted to that Gentleman ; but their contents were
not important.

CRIMINAL INFORMATION.

Mr. J. EVANS moved for a rule, -calling upon Mr. Robert
Link% gentleman, an attorney, of Lincoln, to chew cause why
a criminal information should not be filed against him, for con-
duct towards Mr. Gresham, another attorney, tending to incite
the latter to a breach of the peace. The Learned Counsel stated,
front the affidavits, that a Mr. John Fisher had sent Mr. Ore.
sham a challenge to fight a duel. Mr. Gresham having taken
no notice of the challenge, he mina soon afterwards met by Mr.
Lings in the market place, who pulled out a pair of pistols and
some bullets, and threated that if he did not give Mr. Fisher
the meeting he would post him through the City. Upon this
