CAMBRIDGE ELECTION COM.

MITTEE.

The Cambridge Election Committtee met again yes-
terday morning at 11 o'clock.
Mr. ASHTON, the Clerk of the Peace at Cambridge,
produced certain depositions, and it was then agreed that
his further attendance should be dispensed with.
Mr. FISHER was then called in, and his examination
continued from Wednesday,
By Mr. AUSTIN.—I saw Mr. Sutton during the fort-
night which preceded his election. I had no communica-
tion with Long for the last two years, with the excep-
tion of last July. The collector of the parish of St. Andrew's
had absconded at that time, and persons were then sent
round to ascertain the names of the persons who had paid
their taxes. Mr. G. Wallace, Brown, and Mr. Long,
were appointed for the purpose. Mr. Swan, senior, was
the person who proposed Long. I remember that two
votes were afterwards rejected on the ground that the
rates had not been paid by the applicants but by Long.
(It appeared from explanation of counsel that the Reform
Act requires that applicants for registry should pay their
taxes themselves, or should authorise others to do so for
them, in order that they may be able to establish a valid
claim.) I do not recollect the case of a man named
Morris. There is a Conservative Mechanics' Association
at Cambridge. lam a member of it. Ido not know
whether Long is a member or not. I remember
Long's being arrested. I was asked by Mr. Mitchell, of
the Eagle ( I believe), to become Long's security, but I
refused. There was a subscription for defending him. I
do not know who is to pay the bill against him. I heard
of Long's leaving Cambridge in March last. Saw
Mr. Swan, jun. twice at his counting-house on
the Saturday before Long left. Mr. Barker
was with me the first time, which was between
11 and 12 o'clock. Long was not there during the
time. 1 went to Mr. Swan's a second time between three
and four. I was there about five or ten minutes then. A
communication was made to me by Mr. Swan, jun., the
first time I was with him, on Saturday, that Long had
been tampered with, and was about to leave Cambridge.
I knew on Sunday that Long was about leaving, with a
person of the name of Scott. I had further conversation
with Mr. Swan about it.

(A discussion here took place among Counsel as to
the propriety of questioning the witness with respect
to any conversations he might 'nave had on the subject o
Long's leaving Cambridge. Mr. Austin said that ht
wished to put such questions, in order that he might sho,
that Fisher and Swan were the agents of Mr. Sutton.
It was agreed that the witness should be further questioned
on the subject under discussion.)
I heard on Monday from Mr. Headly and Mr. Swan,
junior, that Long was gone.
The witness was then asked by Mr. AUSTIN whether
Headley knew on Saturday that Long was about to be re
moved? but the question was objected to by the opposite
Counsel, on the ground that it was irrelevant. Headley
had been Long's bail when he was arrested.
After a long discussion among Counsel the room was.
cleared, and the Committee decided that the form of the
question was objectionable, but that the matter itself was
not irrelevant. The objection to the form of the question
was, that it partook to much of the nature of hearsay evi-
dence.

Mr. WRANGIIA?4 said, that considering the decision of
the Committee he should not object to the question.
Examination of witness continued by Mr. AUSTIN--
The impression on my mind is that Mr. Headley told Inc
that be knew on Saturday that Long was going. I hae
learned some of the places to which Long had gone.
from a letter shown me by Mr. Swan, and signed
S. L. ( Scott and Long.) 1 left Cambridge for London,
on the Monday on which Long had left it. I bad some
conversation with Mr. Sutton either on the Monday or
Tuesday, on the subject of Long's abduction. My int
pression is, that when I spoke to Mr. Sutton on the sui•-
ject, he teas himself acquainted with the circumstance. I
had a conversation on the subject with Messrs. Lyon..
Barnes, and Ellis, the agents of Mr. Sutton. t Lae
come up to London for the purpose of seeing t.lcs.rs.
Lyons, Barnes, and Ellis on the subject of the abduction.
I had not seen Mr. Biggs till within the last day or two.
I saw Rance on the Saturday or Sunday before leaving
Cambridge. Ido not think that Rance knew on San'-
day that Long was leaving. I think I communicated to
Mr. Sutton the fact of having seen the letter signed
S. L. I never saw Deighton at Swan's. Swan canvassed
actively at the election. I should say as actively as I did
1 remember the day of nomination at the last election I
do not know whether I saw Swan or not that day. I
remember the polling day. I think it probable I saw Air.
Swan on welt day, but lam not certain. There was ,I
room of a person of the name of Milns engaged for the
polling day. I saw several persons there, but I do not
recollect seeing Mr. Swan among the others. After the
arrest of Long. and previous to the election, I had s: en
Mr. Swan. I think that was only once. I received
three letters from Mr. Gunning, the Town Clerk. ( The
letters were here produced, and one of them was ad-
dressed to the Chairman of Mr. Sutton's Committee )
The second of the letters was shown by me to Mr. Twin,,
and I had that letter in my pocket on the day after 1,,,, g',
arrest. I tore the envelope of that letter on 5u5,..,,
morning. Some electors' names were written on it. Tea;
was the morning after Long's arrest, and during the time
he was under examination. (The letter of Mrs. Large
and other papers were here produced. A letter from ;tie
witness was read, addressed to Dr. Woodhouse, of Cain.
College, cautioning him against exercising the franebi.v,
as his vote had expired.) On Saturday Mr. F. Gunning
told me he had a document in his possession which wend
implicate me with Long. and that if a petition
were instituted against Mr. Sutton, he would be unseated,
1 think I asked kern twice if he had a charge of briL,r)
against me, and he said be had not, but that Mr. G.bsoo
and himself were in possession of something which w3u1,l
implicate me. I said to him that notwithstanding the dif-
ference of political feeling between us, I could not suppose
it possible that as a townsman he would come and draw me
into a conversation which would commit me, but that I
had no objection to receive his communication ashen
and where he pleased. We subsequently met at
two o'clock. I was accompanied by Mr. Harris, a solicitor,
of Cambridge. Messrs. Hannington and Cannon were
with Mr. Gunning before us. I said that I brought Mr.
Harris with me as a professional adviser, and that I wound
be ready to receive any communication in his presence,
I do not recollect Mr. Gunning's saying that part of the
letter was found on Long, which he had written to me the
day before. Ido not distinctly recollect having said that
could not be, because I had the letter that morning. I
saw Mr. Deck, of Ipswich, and Mr. Churchman, I be-
lieve, with him during the election. They wer,
engaged on the Conservative side. I do riot
know what brought them to Cambridge. I knew
before the present Committee had sat that Long would
take the course he did before the Committee. I knew
that from the letter signed S. L., and from conversations
I had with Mr. Barnes on the subject. I knew Messrs.
Cannon and Cooper were corning to London, but I do not
suppose they knew I was coming. The election accounts
were in the possession of Mr. Twiss, but I cannot say
who sent them to him. The amount of checques drawn
on me during the election was about 1,1001. That
sum was paid to me in part by subscriptions, and I received
4001. of it from Mr. Sutton himself. (Mr. Fisher's ac-
counts were here produced.) There is a cheque of 50/
to Mr. Mitchell, of the Eagle. Ido not know how it
was spent. There is a cheque of 701. to Mr. Joseph
Brown, a retired tradesman. I believed that that sun
was used by him in paying bills. The bills of Mr.
Sutton's Committee were signed by Messrs. Brown, Twin,
and Splintser. I know Mr. Aaron Skinner, who keeps a
public-house. That house, I believe, was used during the
election. I know nothing of treating in public-houses.
The witness here seemed much fatigued, and the Com-
mittee adjourned till Saturday.

SUSPENDED A NIMA TION.—At the Conclusion
of an inquest held on Wednesday evening before Mr. Wakle)l,l
on the body of a boy accidentally drowned in the Regent's
canal, a juror said it was surprising that the body was not re
suscitated, it having only been in the water twenty minnt.
The Coroner said that he had once a Royal Humane Societe.
man under examination in a case similar to the present, when%
in answer to a question put to him, he said the longest time a
body had been in the water, and which they had been able to
restore to animation, was three minutes and a half. The Co-
roner further said he had no doubt the man was correct. The
sympathies of the bystanders were excited, and made one mi.
nute appear ten.
A SON ROBBING HIS FATHER AND BRO-
THER.—At the Essex Quarter Sessions, a labourer, named
John Hammond, was convicted of breaking into the house of
his own father, and stealing some articles of trifling value. The
Chairman, in passing sentence, observed that the offence was a
most atrocious one, inasmuch as he had robbed an ages! parent
of that which had been obtained by honest industry ; a parent
to whom he should have been a help rather than an impedi.
went. At the same time, his father had begged for mercy,
and therefore he (prisoner) would be indebted for any leniency
exercised by the Court in the sentence, to that petition. When,
consequently, the term of his imprisonment expired, instead of
owing his father any he (the Learned Chairman)
trusted he would thank him for that interest in his behalf,
which had saved him from transpertation.—Nine months' hard
labour.
GRESHANI COLLEGE.—Wednesday being the
first day of Easter term, Mr. Pullen commenced the lectures
by the introduction to his short course en astronomy. The nt-
tendance was very thin, and but little improvement seems, to
have taken place from the removal of the lectures to the Citli of
London school, the hour at which they are delivered beingi so
very unfavourable for an auditory. The Latin lectureti are still
nominally continued at twelve o'clock, but the lecturers ire
rarely troubled with the delivery of these orations.
It is the intention of the corporation of Kilkenny
to abolish tolls and customs from the first day of May next.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF CHANCERY, APRIL 16.
FRANCIS V. SPITTLE.
The Court was occupied the whole morning with the ar-
guments in this appeal motion, the facts of which were of
no public interest.

meeting more than any other Chairman. He had no right to
adjourn the mceting,but was bound on everySint or question
which may arise, to take the sense of the meeting, and hav-
ing ascertained it, was bound to eofiform to it. The second
point was as to the meaning of the word nomination in the
local Act. No witnesses had been called for the defend-
ants, but the question rested entirely on the legality of the
exertion of authority on the part cf the Rector, the Rev. Dr.
D'Oyley. The issues were merely these. The mandamus
having stated that a poll had been duly demanded, and
granted, the return stated that the poll had not been duly
demanded, nor duly granted and allowed. He contended
that upon that issue there had been a misdirection on the
part of the Learned Judge, who decided that it belonged
to the Chairman, proprio vigore, to hold a poll or not, and
when and where he thought proper—that, in fact, the
power vested in him and not in the meeting. Now, be
( Sir F. Pollock) would submit that such was not the law
—that it was the duty of the Chairman to submit every
question which might arise to the meeting, and having
ascertained the sense of the meeting, to act in conformity
thereto ; that he had no authority to adjourn the election
to any other time or place ; but if the meeting chose to
have the poll instanter, he was bound to grant it. The
Chairman had determined that he would not take the sense
of the meeting. One party had demanded a poll—another
had demanded that it should take place then and there.
The Chairmaa had refused to put that question to the
meeting, but said that he would grant a poll to take place
at the church-door on the next day. Now, he contended
that that was nct lawfully granting a poll. The Learned
Gentleman then cited several cases in support of his argu•
ment. The Rector having left the Chair, the meeting nomi-
nated another Chairman, and proceeded to the election of
persons who had continued to exercise the offices up to the
present time. The same persons were elected at the poll
next day, at the church door. On that occasion a scrutiny
had been demanded and the books had been required to be
produced; the majority, however, was so great that it was
impossible to hope to break it down by any scrutiny,
and the defendants, considering the whole proceeding to be
illegal, did not consider themselves' bound to aid in what
they esteemed a vexatious proceeding. The other part
of the question was merely as to the construction of the
word nomination in the Local Act, and he contended
that, guided by the construction which the Court
had put upon the same word in Hobhouse's Act
in the Pancras case, they must decide that no-
mination did not mean election—that the meaning of
these four persons being nominated by the persons then
and there present was, that the Chairman should take the
sense of the meeting as to the four names, that he might
divide tha meeting, so as to ascertain their decision more
accurately, but that he had no right to take a poll, and
more especially to adjourn that poll, and order it to be
taken at another time or place, as that would be not a no-
mination, but an election, which was contrary to the mean-
ing of the Statute. On these grounds he contended that
he was entitled to a rule, although, in all probability, no
new trial would take place ; yet as Easter Tuesday was
approaching, it would be very desirable if the Court could
give some intimation of their opinion on the subject, by
which all parties might be guided.
The ATTORNEY. GENERAL, on the part of Dr. D'Oyley,
was desirous that the. Court should lay down some rule, to
which he would be most happy to conform himself.
Lord DEN MAN-I think you are entitled to your rule.
As there seems now to exist on both parts a spirit of con-
ciliation, perhaps some agreement may be come to on the
subject. With regard to the first part, perhaps a rule
might be laid, but the second part requires very great con-
sideration.

The ATTORNEY.GENIRAL said that if before Easter-
Tuesday they could ascertain what were the views of the
Court on the subject, it would be very desirable.
Lord DENMAN would be happy to give such an intima-
tion, if he thought the Court could be justified in so doing ;
but the consequences of any decision would be so very
extensive, as regarded other parishes, that he was of opi-
nion they could not do so with propriety.—Rule granted.
At the conclusion of the business of the Court, Mr.
G. E. Boggis, one of the parties charged with using sedi-
tious language at the Trades' Hall, Bethnal green, ad-
dressed the Judges on the Bench in the following terms :
" My Lords, I hold in my hand a notice calling upon me
to appear before your Lordships, to enter into recogni-
zances, myself in 5001. and two sureties each in 2501., to
answer to an indictment found against me at the Central
Criminal Court. My Lords, lam but a working man ; I
have suffered imprisonment, and the loss of a situation
which I have held for many years ; I have a wife and three
children entirely depending on my own hands' labour, and
I am unable, my Lords, to procure such exorbitant bail, so
titally out of proportion to my condition in life. I, there-
fore, appeal to your Lordships, hoping you will reduce the
amount of bail.

Lord Chief Justice DENMAN—Hand me your paper.
Who fixed the amount of bail ?

Mr. Boggis —I know nothing more, my Lords, than
what I see on that paper, which your Lordships will ob-
serve is signed by the solicitor, Mr. Hobler.
Lord DENMAN—Have you pleaded ?
Boggis—No, my Lord ; neither have I been called upon
to plead_ .

Lord DENMAN—Are you prepared to put in your plea
row ? Will you plead now ?
Boggis—l am, my Lord.
The Clerk asked the applicant's name, and what he
pleaded ; and further, what the charge against him was ?
Boggis said he believed the chargo against him was,
that he bad used seditious language, to which he pleaded
" Not Guilty."
Judge LITTLEDALE said—Had I the fixing of the amount
of bail, I should put it l 00t., and two of 50/.
Lord DRNMAN—That's what I should have done.
Remain as you are, unless some special application is made.
The applicant then bowed and retired.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, APRIL 16.

PRIVILEGES OF THE SERGEANTS.

The SOLICITOR-GENERAL intimated to the Court that
some doubt existed on the minds of some gentlemen of the
bar as to the exact iilture of the Court's decision last term
with regard to the exclusive privilege of the Sergeants to
move in the Common Pleas—how far it extended to new
trials.
Lord Chief Justice Timm said he did not think there
would have been any doubt as to his decision ; but he
would take an opportunity of referring to the precise lan-
guage he used.

ECCLESIASTICAL COURT,

NORWICH.

On Monday last, April 13, the case of the Bungay
Church-rate came again before the Court, the respond-
ent, Mr. Chas. Childs, having been assigned to put in his
written answer to the libel of the Churchwardens. Hav-
ing been sworn, he delivered in the answer, and expressed
at the same time the regret he felt that he had been driven
to bring before the Court one charge contained in that
document, and that his opponents have given occasion and
imposed upon him the necessity of making such a charge.
The Praetor for the Churchwardens then prayed and ob-
tained a term probatory, that is an order for the produc-
tion of his evidence, within the three next Courts, and was
instructed to give Mr. Childs notice at which Court the
witnesses would be produced. The answer put in by the
respondent contains the following paragraphs.
After alleging that the rate propounded is invalid by
reason that the Vestry Meeting was not duly held, and that
the assessment is unequal and incomplete,
This respondent saith, he denies that the said alleged
rate was duly confirmed ; for that after the same had been
signed by the Chairman of the said meeting, and the other
persons assembled thereat, it was altered, interpolated,
and added to in many particulars, and it is not now the
rate that was attempted to be made by the said before-
mentioned meeting ; but it is in substance and effect es-
sentially changed and thereby rendered invalid. And this
respondent submits, that by reason of such omissions, al-
terations, and interpolations, and for the reasons hereinbe-
fore stated, the said rate, and the: said confirmation thereof,
were and are invalid.

And this respondent further answering said, be denies
that he is rightly and duly rated and assessed as in the said
article alleged, because he saith that be is a Dissenter from
the Church of England as by law established, and because
it is held by her Majesty's Judges that Christianity is
part of the laws of England. And he submits to this
Court that the practice of that Church in compelling
those persons who cannot conscientiously join in its
worship, to support that worship, is unlawful ; and he
claims to be dismissed from this suit upon that ground.
And this respondent further answering saith, that he
being now before a Court Christian, in which the Scrip-
tures must necessarily be held as of supreme authority, he
submits that such practice is also unscriptural and un-
christian ; and further he submits that he, being a Dis-
senter, the act of citing him before a Bishop of the sect
called the Church of England, established by law, and of
judging him by a member of that Church, sitting as and
for the said Bishop, in a matter in which the Bishop is and
ought to feel himself interested, is partial and unjust.

THE -ANIMAL PUBLlC.—Writers should
always recollect that the animal public' hate reading ; the
lovers of instruction are a very small minority. The great
bulk are only to be inveigled into information by the smallness
as well as raciness of the doses.
The Dublin Evening Mail states that Lord
Loftus, having withdrawn his pretensions to the representation
of Fermanagh, Sir Arthur Brooke will be returned without
opposition.
FATAL ACCIDENT FROM FIRE-ARMS.----011
Wednesday afternoon, an inquest was held in the board-room
of St. George's Hospital, Hyde Park Corner, before Mr.
Higgs, on view of the body of Daniel Long, aged twenty-one.
It appeared from the evidence that the deceased was a mariner.
On Tuesday fortnight last, the deceased was at Chalk Farm,
St. Pancras, with a gun. There was a pigeon-match on the
ground. The deceased was walking about for a stray bird,
carelessly carrying his gun, which was charged with swan shot,
and on the full cock. In getting over a small fence the piece
went off, and the contents passed through his right foot. Cea-
veyance was obtained for the deceased to the above hospital,
where he was attended by the surgeons. The foot was ampu-
tated a few days afterwards, and the deceased died on the 12th
instant. Verdict—Accidental Death.
OLIVER CROMWELL.—His speech on dissolv-
ing Parliament, April 20th, 1653, is a noble burst of elo-
quence :—" It is high tine for me to put an end to your sitting
in this place, which you have dishonoured by your contempt of
all virtue, and defiled by your practice of every vice. You are
a factious crew, and enemies to all good government. Ye are
a pack of mercenary wretches, and would, like Esau, sell your
country for a mess of pottage, and, like Judas, betray your God
for a few pieces of money. Is there a single virtue now re-
maining amongst you? Is there one vice that you do not
possess? You have no more religion than my horse : gold
is your god. -Nhich of you have not bartered away your con-
science for bribes ? Is there a man amongst you that has
the least care for the good of the Commonwealth? Ye sordid
profligates ! have ye not defiled this sacred place, and turned
the Lord's temple into a den of thieves by your 'immoral prin-
ciples and wicked practices ? You, who were deputed here by
the people to get grievances redressed, are yourselves become
the greatest grievance. Your country, therefore, calls upon
me to cleanse this Augean stable, by putting a final period to
your iniquitious proceedings in this house ; and which, by
God's help and the strength he has given, I am now come to
do. I command you, therefore, upon the peril of your lives,
to depart immediately out of this place. Go ! get ye out ;
make haste. Ye venal slaves, begone ! So ! take away that
shining bauble (the mace) there, and lock up the doors."

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION-HOC) SE.

I nspector Brake of the City police informed the Lord
Mayor that several of the men in the employment of Mr.
Taylor, the City plumber, had found, while digging on
their master's premises, in Eastc;aeap., near Pudding-
lane, sixteen or seventeen gold coins of a very remote
period, and appropriated them to their own use. Mr.
Taylor considered, although he knew nothing of the
coins, that the act of his men was dishonest towards him,
and therefore he determined to make the representation
to the Lord Mayor. The men had sold the coins for
3/. 30s. per ounce to a respectable silversmith, who, it
appeared, sold them soon afterwards to a Jew named
Solomons, who was in the habit of calling from shop to
shop to purchase commodities of this kind.

The LORD MAYOR—Ought not coins so found go to
the Queen ?

Mr. Taylor said that that was a question. The men
p.ere working on his premises and they tossed up the coins
with a shovel. From what he had heard of them he be
lievec; them to be of the reign of Ethelred, and they
were pt'obably of much greater value than they were
intrinsically worth. The Jew to whom the silversmith
had disposed of them was not at present at home, and
he apprehended that they were by that time melted
down.

The LORD MAYOR desired that one of the men who
appropriated the coins should stand forward, and give
an account of the occurrence.
John Rule stated that he, and several other men in
the employment of Mr. Taylor, had turned up the coins.
They were altogether, and in a loose state, and they
agreed to sell them and divide the profits. The sale
was accordingly made to the silversmith, who at once,
without asking any questions, weighed the gold, and
paid them 31. 10s. per ounce. They told the person to
the shop that they had found them in digging.
The LORD MAYOR—Did not the silversmith make
any remark about the finding of the coins ?
None, my Lord. If he had said one word against our
selling them under such circumstances, we would have
given them up to our master.
Mr. Taylor said that the men were perfectly aware
that they were doing wrong in appropriating the coins.
Upon one occasion, they dug up a piece of a cistern,
above 200 years old, and immediately gave it to me,
I, as a reward for their integrity, handed them over
the full value of it. They well knew that they ought
to have done the same with the coins.
Inspector Brake said he believed that he should be
able to get the coins back, as, in consequence, of their
antiquity, they would doubtless be preserved front the
crucible.
Mr. Taylor declared that it was painful to him to
have so many workmen in whom, of course, he could
no longer place any confidence.
Rule—One word from the silversmith, would have
been enough to show us what our duty was.
Mr. Taylor—Don't say a word more about your
honesty. You all gave my boy a share of the profits,
to keep the secret ; but the boy told his father, who
was too honest to keep it from me.
The LORD MAYOR—The fact is, the lower classes
are not to be persuaded but that what they find is
their own, and I think these men held that opinion.
Let the Inspector make further inquiry, and commu-
nicate with Mr. Taylor, on the subject. His Lord-
ship having then sworn Rule, asked him whether be °r
any of the men had dug up any more coins ? Rule
replied most positively in the negative, and again ex-
pressed great sorrow at the oversight.
The Lord Mayor was informed of a trick by which
an extremely well dressed man, of excellent address,
was levying contributions on the public. The jai"
postor went into the Salopian Coffee-house, in Charing-
'
cross, and dined very daintily, and drank two Piot
of wine. After dinner he entered into conversation
with some Members of the douse of Commons, wh°
also dined at the Coffee-houser and having called lor
his bill, which amounted to 125., sent to the landlord,
Mr. Hill, to let him know that he- bad left his purse in
another pocket, but informed him that he might I°,
up for him in his box a considerable- property, vTI British
he had in an opulent concern, designated The
Wax Candle Soap and Oil Company," until next dal,
when they should be redeemed. The request wilts.
accompanied with a bundle of printed papers, purpor
ing to be shares in the Company, and the 101lowillg

The Loan MAYOR observed that the Share enthibitld
was a fair specimen of the general run of Shares, by
which persons who wanted to make rapid fortunes a
couple of years ago, were duped. He thouzht that at
the present time of day it was extraordinary a landlord
should be duped by such an experiment, but to L'!
sure the manner in which the thing might have bear
done, probably, was calculated to put the most wary off
his guard.
