Mr. HUME maintained that these people ought to pay
~..
their own religious instruction. Could it be believed, that, ,01.
Halifax, a large commercial and populous town, tha Pe°P ,
England had to maintain a Clergyman at an expence of #041••
year. It was time to make a stand ; for what with building_
churches, and demands of this kind, the people would *()"
have nothing to do but toil for the Clergy.
Mr. BUTTERWORTH made some observations, which
were inaudible for the most part. We understood him to 09;
plain that the conduct of some of the persons sent out by '
Society had been very bad, whilst he admitted that many were
most respectable and excellent characters. He stated that the
religious and moral condition of the population of these cow"
vies required the greatest attention.
Mr. G. BEN NET contended that a strong ease had bee
made out for discontinuing the grant to this Society. Accord'
ing to his Hon. Friend, they had published Reports which
were untrue; and the lion. Member for Dover, the highest 8u"
thority upon such subjects in that House, had stated the con-
duct of some of the persons sent out by them Le he atrociouseee.
Ile should, therefore, Vote for the suns to be a plied to its 001
purpose, but not through the hands of the Society.
Mr. BUTTERWORTH explained. He had certainly said
that great abuse had marked the conduct of some persons sent
out, but he never meant to say that such was the general cha-
racter of the Society or its agents.
Mr. GOULBURN said there was a mistake in suppoiriC
that the whole expence of the religious instruction of these
Colonies fell upon the mother country. There had been barren
tracts of land laid out for the Clergy—(A laugh)—which. $4
cultivation extended itself over the face of the country, Were,.
to be appropriated to that purpose. lie argued in support °'
the Society, that it had been selected by the Gorernmert t.,
manage these funds in consequence of the difficulties wiiien
arose front entrusting it to the resident authorities.
Mr. C. WILSON supported the vote.
Mr. MONCK opposed it.
Sir M. W. RIDLEY asked whether the grant was to pro"
mote the objects of the Established Church. if it were not*
it ought to be opposed.
Mr. LUSH INGTON said it was. . . . -
Si: T. ACLAND observed that the Society was not tvl"
known. It had been chartered since the time of King Wihisro•
The House by refusal to vote the sum proposed would act with
injustice towards those who were doing the business of the
church beyond the Atlantic. Those persons had gone out in
the expectation of remuneration. The charges which had been
made ought to be the ground of a specific motion.
Lord ALTHORY said, he should prefer seeing the gract
placed in the hands of persons on spot, who might give it W
the Society.
Mr. BUTTEItWORTH wished the sum increased. 0
expressed surprise at the doubts expressed by the Honourable
Baronet. He had certain resolutions, passed by, constituents
of the lion. Baronet at Newcastle ; in those resolutions the
sentiments differed from those of the Hon. Baronet.—(Cries Of
read, read !) - •
Sir M. W. RIDLEY explained. He had seen the resold:
tions to which the lion. Member alluded, and they were passed
by so small a number of his constituents, that he would rather
leave the Hon. Member to read them. - Ile had not impre'
perly alluded to an important question. It would have been
bad taste had he done so. When that question came before
the House- he should express his opinion, but not before.
Mr. T. WILSON defended the Clergy of England. lie
was quite sure the .;rant was proper.
Mr. G. BENNET moved an amendment, to omit the word,
" to defray the chargee," thereby leaving the sum to be placed
in the hands of Governors, who might give it to the Society.
The House divided on the Amendment.

Mr. CItOKER said the old Bill would expire on the 2,511,,,

DARING ROBREIty AND A SSAUF.T.,--A dar:llZ
robbery, attended with circumstances-of uncommon atrocitf•
was committed on Monday night at the Newton turnpike-
house, near Wakefield. Edward Ellis, the barJ:eeper, had re-
tired to rest, and his wife was preparing to do the same shortly
after the mail had passed, when there was a knocking at
door ; she went to open it, and four men then rushed in, 10c.4-
ing the door after them : suspecting their design, she cried out.
for help to her husband, who rose up in his bed, from wiser
he was instantly dragged into the middle of the floor'
and trampled upon and kicked with the most fut:intl., bar-
barity ; his wife also was knocked down, but saved herself
from further ill-treatment by declaring where their l ropertf
was deposited ; the villains then proceeded to recur= it, and t°
pillage the house. This happened about half-past nine, aa,"
soon after a person on the road, who had heard the wornal,4
screams at a distance, came up to the door of the house, and ask;
ed what was the matter, and if they were comniting murder
On this the ruffians came out, and w:.lk-d leisurely avnlY
towards Wakefield, by the Fit. John's-mad the alarm w°
now given, and they were pursued, but unfortunately Wint.

visited the poor man and his wife about ten that night, reFol''
the injuries received by the woman to be trifling, but those
of the man suds as to render his case dangerous. His hea_`,
is much swelle 1, the left side of the forehead much. bruised
and cut; the skull laid bare for about an inch over we
left eye, but there does not appear to be any fracture
many bruises on the stomach, and two ribs on the right side
broken. Three men were yesterday taken up on auspici°°'
but the poor people do not appear able to recognize them.--
The villains were all young men, had on dark colour-
ed jackets, two of them rather taller than the others, a
all appeared to be persons employed on turnpike.:..ada and ca-
nals. The property stolen consists of half a dozen silver tea-
spoons, marked M. E. 1., a pair of silver plated augar-ter.lol, a
