WOODROOTIM v. OLDVIELD, BENNET, AND CARLOC. •
Mr. C. Puts.t.ies opened the pleadinge.—Mr. GURNEY

William Smith deposed that he knew the house, N0..75, St.
Jatues'e-street ; has seen the plaintiff, Mr. Woodroolfe, there,
playing at rouge et noir, on the 2d of August last : he lost on
that occasion upwards of 401. The defendants Bennet and
Carlos were there. Has seen Oldfield as well as the other two
engaged in the Management of the house. Saw Mr. Wood.
tootle also on the 4th of August; cannot gay how much he lest.
SAW him also on the 6th of August, when he lost 20/. Cannot.
say if Oldfield was there on that particular night, but he was
generally there.

custom at the gaming tables for the lookers-on, when they

teach them some new system, or on some such' pretence. Hai
positively seen M. oodrotte put down the money, himself,
and play for himself. lie gave the witness no money. Ile was
not in general a high player; used generally to put' down three

• SALE OF BEER.
Mr. BROUGHAM wished at this stage of the Session to ob.
tain leave to bring; in a Bill to open the Beer Trade. The
proposition which he,had to submit to the House was exactly
the same as that which' he had brought forward last year, and
which had undergone some discussion, and then been postponed
only. This being the case, and as there was one alteration in
the measure, it was unnecessary for him to tremniSs long on the
time of the House. lie wished to bring in the Bill, and tins
being done, he intended to postpone all further proceedings
.on it till after the ' Recess, lie was induced to do so, not
from the accidental circumstance of the Assizes being about
to commence; but because he saw-with pleasure that the Chan.
cellor of the Exchequer had given notice that it was his inten,
tion to bring forward a measure, if not to the same etrect, at
least tending to accomplish the same object. Nothing would
please lain better than to see hit Bill adopted by so powerfttl
a foster.father as the Right Hon. Gentleman would not fail to
trroVe. From the notice which had been given he could not
hope for that, but he had no doubt that great advantages would
be derived from any measure that might be introduced to etc.
reek the evil at present tilt. He was of opinion that in this
way much might be done to relieve the Agricultural Classes,
especially in those districts where the soil was light and suit.
able for, the growth of Batley. Oreat additional comfort would
be given to the communitu in general, and a valuable safe.
guard would thus be provided, both tier the health and the morals
of the lower classes. He would add one word on what he
considered the natural 'consequences of the Bill to come before
the House, whether his should be adopted, or the more limited
measure (such- he feared it would prove) of the Chancellor of
the Exchequer. Caste he thought must be to equalize the
duties now paid by the consumers of Alalt Liquor. The House
must be aware that a great inequality wit at present cons.
plained: of. The poor man who obtains his beer from the pub.
Man,- besides paying double to the Alalt.Tax which was paid
by the rich man who teas able to brew his own beer, paid in
the proportion three netwo more to the' Beer Tax. When the
distress of the Agricultural Glasses was so incessantly pressed
on their 4ttemion, the House must feel how great the danger
which ini slit
arise out of the efforts (he would not say ma-
chinations of those wbo might be diSpOsecl to set the landlord
and all w 10 employed the labourer, and the labourer, al va-
riance with each other. At a time like the present to him it
appeared of more than common importance that the higher
classes should• proVe themselves the kind friends 4if the lowa
classes. Since it was
probable that they might shortly, (it'a
only knew bow soon, he constrained to call upon the',; c,
maintain the hentiur of'the country, and restore peace to slif.,
world, it was fitting that they shoUld dispose them to answer
the call by proving themselves anxious to remove the pre.
sent causes of complaint; ' He
,begged tu tnove for lOve ..10

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER could aysure
the. Hon. Alderman that he could not be more anxious than he,
(the Chancellor of the Exchequer) was not to relieve the peo-
ple ginerally from taxation, nor could he be more earnestly
desrious that the poor should feel the full benefit of that re.
mission of taxation which might be :found practicable. He
could not help flattering himself that in what he had lately
proposed the interests of the lower classes had not been over-
looked. lie admitted that_ under. some circumstances the re-
peal of taxes was beneticia, and acknowledged with much
satisfaction that considerable advantageahad already been tie.;
rived Prom those remissions which had: received the sanction
of Parliament. He regretted his absence from the House
while the Honourable and Learned. Gentleman was intro-
ducing his motion. Had he known that it Would have been
brought on so early he would have made it his business to be
in his place. He certainly should not oppose the bringing in
of the Bill, which he would be glad to find such as he could
approve and support. But, at the same time, not knowing
the nature of the Bill, and not being aeituainted with any of
its details--

Mr. BROUGHAM stated the det..ils of the Bill to be the
same as those of the Bill which h hacl introduced last year.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, he
could not at present sny what course he should take with re.
speet to the measure of the Learned Gentleman\ but thitt.lto
coald say, that the ant wiatch lea- had ititt eonteraplalfon tri
offor on the u•nto subject, would to) to offer to the potir man a
cheaper and better beverage than he had been acitstmnP.d. to
get, it would thereby increase the consumption of Baxley, and,
as he trusted, benefit all classes by its operation.
Leave was then given w bring in the Bill,

the Insolvent Debtors' Act.,--Ordared to be printed.

AGRICULTURAL DISTRESS.
Mr. NVODEHOUSE presented a petition front the Hun-
dred of IVeyland, in Norfolk, complaining of Agricultural
Distress, suggesting certain Alterations in the Corn Laws, and
praying that the average system might be done away t but de-
claring that they had no wish that the just • and undoubted
rights of the public creditor should be interfered with.
The petition was ordered to be printed.
Mr. V. FlTZGERALDppresentedn petition from the Land-
ed Proprietors and Land Holders of the Co!int vof Clare. He
thought it his duty to state that this petition had been unani-
mously voted eta meeting over whiebthe kligli.Sheriffpreaidcd,
and he was confident that there existed not 3 body of Yr.en in the
country who were better entitled to the consideration of the
House. ;

, Mr. M. FITZGERALD suorted the'Petition, and bore
testimony to the goad conduct tithe petitioners.
The Petition was ordered. to he printed.

FRANCE AND SPAIN.
Mr. BROUGHAM wished to ask the Right Ilcin. Gent. the
Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, a question of informa-
tion which had recently reached this country, and which had at.,
tracted universal attention. He alluded to the debate in the
French Chamber of Thputies, in which a person-L-one of the
French Ministers, whose accuracy of 'statement he was not dis-
posed to tax, but who had at one period defied the BourbOns,
and at another, somewhat irreverently, compared a Buontiparte
to the Saviour—had made certain assertions respecting the con-
duct of the British Government. That Minister who was dis-
posed to do all that tine writing and eloquence could ACCOM.;
plish to beat down liberty, but whose efflirta did not make him
feel any great 'apprehensions for the Spaniards, had reftrired to
a curious note, said' to have been presented by the Duke of
Wellington to the Congress at Verona, embodying a Declare-
Lion which was afterwards repeated in another and materially
different form. In one communication the words ascribed to
the Noble Duke made England approve of the aggressive mea.
suits of France against Spain. The other expressions put into
the mouth of the Noble Duke, and which were contained in a
Note from the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, to the
French Charge d'Affaires in London, only went the length of
making this Government declare themselves, in *your of the
precautionary measures adopted by France, along the line of
the Spanish frontier, whether against the plague, or against
liberty, but against the plague es it had seemed in the first in.
stance, though subseqtterttly are amat liberty, The statement
thus made .by the French Minister was comparatively in-
noxious, after the speech addressed by his. Majesty to his Par-
liament, and after those proceedings which hail followed, and
the part taken by those lion. Cleritlemen connected with the
Government, in the debates of that House. ne therefore
could not but express a hope, either that the assertions alluded
to had not been made, or if made, had been much more qua-
lified than they would be led to suppose from the mere perusal
of the French 111inister's speech. He wished to know how this
matter stood, and whether the whole truth had been stated, or
whether certain parts of the notes in qiseltion had been fished
out, which might be materially modified by other parts of the
documents in which they had, been found. •
The part of the speech of M. de Chattaubriand, alluded to
by the Honourable Gentleman was the ftillowing
