BODMIN ELECTION.
The following Members appeared at the table, and
were sworn to try the merits of the late election for ti e
borough of Bodmin :—Mr. G. A. Hamilton (chairman),
Mr. J. 11. Foley, Mr. F. French, Mr. R. Trevor, and
Sir E. Filmer.
Mr. S. CRAWFORD presented a petition from a
Baptist Congregation in Brighton against the Diplomatic
Relations with Rome Bill.
Mr. WAKLEY presented a petition from Clerkenwell
against Mr. Sturges Bourne's Act. The Hon. Member
also presented a petition from a gentleman of the name
of Sheridan, who had been employed for eighteen
years in the Excise, stating that he had been dismissed
without cause, and praying the House to take the ease
into its consideration.

Mr. HUNIE said that in his opinion a more absurd
reason would not be given for the rejection of the peti-
tion than that given by the Right Hon. Ba-
ronet the Member fur the University of Oxford,
that it could not be received on the ground that it was
opposed to the general opinion of the House. Why
those were the very kind of petitions which were
required, and which the House ought to throw wide
open its doors to receive.—(hear, hear.) Petitions which
agreed with the House were not petitions that were re-
quired. It was the duty of the House to re
ceive every petition that was sent to it. If once
the House were to begin to refuse, at what
part would they draw the line of distinction ?
Nothing but evil consequences would ensue from the
rejection of the petitions of the people.—(Hear, hear.)
Sir J. GRAHAM said that he was sorry to be com-
pelled to pronounce an opinion upon the matter. He was
as anxious as any Hon. Member to offer no obstruction
to the presentation of petitions of the prayers of the
people upon all subjects which might be a matter of de
bate before the House. He was glad that the pe-
tition had been allowed to be brought up and
read at the table, because he thought that
they would have been acting wrongly had they
pronounced any decision upon the subject in ignorance
of the contents of the petition. He could not say that
he went the full length of the Hon. Member for Mon-
trose (Mr. Hume). He could not agree with him in
thinking that it would be consistent with loyalty
to the Sovereign, or respect to the institutions
of the country, to entertain petitions addressed to this
House, calling for the abolition of kingly government
and fur a substitution of a republic in this
country.—(Hear, hear.) He could not with a
sense of duty subscribe to that doctrine. The
form of government established in this country
was a government by Kings, Lords, and Commons.
He thought that a line must be drawn with respect to
petitions to be entertained by the House, and that no
petition should be allowed to lie upon the table which
dealt with the fundamental interests of the country. He
thought that the institution under which they lived was no
less a kingly government than a government composed
of two Houses of Parliament, the Howes of Lords and
Commons; and if this opinion was well founded, then,
in his opinion, this House ought not to entertain
petitions wishing for the abolition of kingly go-
vernment. By a parity of reasoning, he would not
resist the force of the inference, that they should not
allow petitions to lie upon the table asking for the aboli-
tion of the House of Peers. He regretted the duty
which was thus forced upon him by the Right
Honourable Baronet the Member for the Uni-
versity of Oxford, but acting at once upon
the impulse of his judgment and feeling, he felt
bound to say that if this question should be forced to a
division, he should certainly feel it his duty to vote
against the petition being allowed to lie upon the table.
BRIGHT wished to know whether it had not
been the custom of the House to allow petitions to be
received for tLe rejection of bishops from the House
of Lords. He thought that if such petitions were
allowed to be received by the House, there
could be no reason to believe that the House
was unable to receive petitions, praying for
the total abolition of the House of Peers. He did not
express any sympathy, and probably no Hon. Member
in the House would express sympathy, with the whole
of the contents of the petition. (Hear, hear.)
Ho was sure, that with regard to these particular peti-
tions, the only effect of this discussion would be to
raise the petitioner, in his own estimation, and turn
the public attention to the discussion of questions
w4tthsilitanse did not wish to be discussed.—(Hear,
hear.) if `yhe House determined not to receive the
petibion he was sure that it would only lead
„.to.'", • it, presAtation of other similar objectionable
editions. Jawould express no opinion whatever upon
thA pelftion ; that was a matter of minor importance,
but he considered it of enormous importance that the
House should not take a false step on the present occa-
sion.
Mr. F. O'CONNOR had no doubt that the petition
either came from an unenlightened Chartist or an ig-
norunt Whig.—(Great laughter.) When the Hon.
Member for Montrose talked about ignorant Chartists,
he ought to recollect that ho was one of the seven wise
men that signed the People's Charter .—(Great laughter.)
He trusted that in future the Hon. Member tor Mon-
trose would express the same opinion in that House that
he was in the habit of doing out of it.—(Hear, hear.)
Mr. HUME challenged the Hen. Member for Not
tingham to state a single instance in which he had made
assertions out of that House that he did not uphold
in it. He was not, he begged to inform the Hon. Mem-
ber, one of those who was in the habit of using language
for the oecasion—(Hear, hoar)—and, as to his saying
that the Chartists were an ignorant body, he had never
said any such thing.
Mr. M. J. O'CONNELL believed that the Right
lion. Baronet the Member for Ripon had made a moat

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.
OXFORD CIRCUIT.--Hereford, March .415.
..)ILOWN COUHT.--(Before Mr. Justice CeEsswxl.L.)
Joseph Bishop, 24, was charged with a burglary in the
house of Mary Cotton, in the city of Hereford, on the
6th of January, and stealing therefrom two silver cups,
several silver spoons, a silver sugar basin, and other
articles of plate and jewellery, her property.
The prosecutrix, a widow, is now the landlady of the
Greyhound llotel, but at the time in question kept the
Maidenhead Inn, and retired to rest leaving the premises
all safe, and the stolen property also, at half-past
eleven o'clock. The next morning it was found that
an entrance had been made into the house by raising
the trapdoor of the cellar, and so passing through
the vault, ascending the steps, and getting into the
bar, in the door of which, leading into the cellar,
two panes of glass had been broken. Various articles
were missed, and no clue obtained to the thief,
until about a fortnight ago, when a female named
Prosser, pledged a ring with Mr. Myers, a pawnbroker,
and it transpired that it was given her by the prisoner
for a night's lodging, in lieu of money. This ring
was identified by Mrs. Cotton as her property. In ad-
dition to this, it was shown that the prisoner was seen
loitering near the house at twelve o'clock on the night of
the robbery, and coming from that direction early the
next morning.
He was found Guilty, and several previous convictions
established against him.
The JUDGE told him his whole course had been a
career of crime; reformation in him was hopeless; and
passed sentence of transportation for fifteen years.
John Beaten, twenty-six (who was deely affected),
pleaded guilty to an indictment and coroner's inquisi-
tion, charging him with the manslaughter of his brother
James, at Leintwardine, on the 4th of October.
Mr. IIUDDLESTONE, on the part of the prosecution,
strongly recommended the prisoner to mercy. It was a
very melancholy case. The brothers were together at a
ball, when the prisoner struck his brother in mere sport;
the other returned the blow rather severely. The
pri-
soner struck him a second on this, but it not appearing
violently ; but it was a most unfortunate blow, as the
next moment the poor young man lay stretched a corpse
at his brother's feet.
Mr. Justice CRESSWELL said, it was a most distressing
case, and if the prisoner had not :been in prison one
single day he should not have felt himself justified in
inflicting on him a more severe sentence than the one
he was now about to pass, which was, that he be
further imprisoned until the rising of the court. The
melancholy catastrophe was entirely the result of ac-
cident, and he (the Judge) did not think any one in
court could imagine for a moment that the prisoner
meant to injure, much less cause the death of his
brother.

"ABOLITION-di- TIIE DOUSE OF LORDS.

As the Court rose at air, the unfortunate instrument
of a brother's death having received ju igment at four
o'clock, only remained in custody two hours.
The alrzes terminated at six o'clock, and tho com-
missio❑ for Monmouthshire was opened by Sir J. I'at-
teson, who preceded Mr. Justice Creswell.

MUTTON LEGS.—Among the articles of food
brought from the United States of America, are legs of
mutton ia casks, in a salted, or slightly preserved state,
to be manufactured into mutton hams• The vessel just
arrived from New York has brought twelve barrels of
these mutton legs or hams, in the state mentioned. If
only salted, they are free of duty, but if they have un-
dergone the process of drying and smoking, so as to
bring► them within the meaning of the term hams, as
commonly understood, they become liable to the duly
on that article. The same remark applies to the Fork
legs brought in considerable quantities from the United
States of America.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.
ROUSE OF COMMONS. Mach 27.

NORTH STAFFORDSHIRE RAILWAY (DE-
VIATION AT WILLINGTON) BILL.

On the motion that this Bill be read a second time,
Mr. lIINDLEY moved as an amendment that it
be read a second time that day six months.
Mr. COLV [LE seconded th© motion.

Mr. RICARDO protested against the ex par te state-
ment which had been printed and circulated amongst
Members. The allegations contained in that paper were
untrue, and the map appended to it were untrue also.
Toe facts were these :—The North Staffordshire Com-
pany had brought forward a line which passed through
the estate of a gentleman who had proposed another
line, and the Committee rejected the company's Bill.
The line now put forward was the very same that gen-
tleman had advocated—taken from his own plan put up
in the Committee-room. This was a question of money
between the company and that gentleman, who had
asked 25,0001. for twenty acres of land, and which sum
the company had refused to give.
The House then divided, when there appeared—
For the second reading 143
Against it
Majority for the second reading —l2B
The Bill was then road a second time.
SLIGO ELECTION.;

Mr. GRANGER, Chairman of the Select Committee
appointed to inquire into the allegations contained in
the petition complaining of an undue election return for
the borough of Sligo, reported to the House that the
Committee had come to the following resolution :
" That Mr. J. P. Somers is not duly elected to serve
in the present Parliament for the borough of Sligo, and
that the last election fur the said borough is a void
election." .

From Marseilles we learn that Messrs. Rolland
Rutlio, and Co. have been enabled to resume business
by the reNipt of remittances from the Levant.

•
Sir W. BARRON immediately after moved, and it
was ordered, that a new writ bo issued for the election
of a Member for the same borough, in the room of Mr.
Somers.

the 'great principles thatlahouristhes?urce of all
are the only legitimate wealth; that the people source
of all power; that labour, therefore, should be the first
to partake of the fruits of its own industry; that taxa-
tion without representation is tyranny and should be
resisted, and believing that the resources of this country,
would be best developed by a Government of represen-
tatives chosen by the labouring classes in conjunction
with others living by induArious pursuits—that, in re-
cognition of these, truths, this House adopts the princi-
ples of the People's Charter, annual elections, universal
suffrage, vote by ballot, equal electoral districts, no pro-
perty qualification.), and payment of Members of Par-
liament."—(The announcement was followed by laughter.)
In answer to a question from Sir J. DUCKWORTH,
Sir G. GREY stated that the Bill which had been
suggested in the last session relating to the management
of highways and atncting turnpike trusts had been re-
modelled in the recess, and would Ise laid before the
House at the earliest possible period. It was not the
intention to propose the same central control which had
originally been contemplated.

THE POLISH PEOPLE.

Tho 'lox. MEMBER also presented a petition from a

Mr. ANSTEY gave notice, that on Tuesday next

(this day week) he would move that an humble address
be pm. rated to her Mfili,sty, on the occasion of the
recent iin,i,ertant politic:A evuiti in Austria, Poland, and
Prussia, praying her Majesty that she will not consei,t
to any new territorial or other arran;.ement in connexion
with such events that does not recogiiiie and secure to
the Polish people the full enjoyment of their lawful
liberties and independence.
Mr. AGLIONBY asked the Secretary for the Home
Department how soon the Government would introduce
a Bill for the compulsory enfranchisements of copyholds?
Sir G. GREY replied, that such a Ed! had been pre
pared, on the recommendation of the Copyhelds Com-
mission, and was now in the hands of the Lord Chan-
cellor, and would be introduced at an early period in the
other House.
Mr. ROCHE asked whether it was the intention of
her Majesty's Government to bring in a registration
Bill for Ireland ; and, if so, when?—(llear, hear.)
Also, whether her Alajesty's Government had any real
intention to reform the present grand jury system in
Ireland ?—(Hear, hear.)
Lord J. RUSSELL stated, in answer, that Bills on
the subj. cts referred to were in preparation, and would
be introduced whenever the chance presented itself of
securing a clear duy for their discussion.
EJECTMENTS IN GALWAY.

Mr. I'. SCROPE asked whether the Government had
yet taken any steps against the parties implicated in the
case which he had brought before the House on Friday
last ?

Sir G. GREY said his Right Hon. Friend the
Secretary for Ireland had stated that, when a fortnight
ago the facts of this case came under his notice, he at
once laid the matter before the Government in Ireland.
Further information of what had been done was now
awaited; he (Sir G. Grey) again communicated with
the Solicitor-General for Ireland, who was now here,
but he could hold out no hope, in consequence of any•
thing he had heard from him, that a criminal prosecu-
tion would be instituted by the Government. The
subject, he could assure the Hon. Gentleman, was under
attentive consideration.

Sir R. PEEL begged to ask the Right Hon. Baronet
the Secretary for Ireland, whether it was not the duty
of the police in the county of Galway to have made a
report of the circumstances which had recently been
brought under the notice of the House by the Hon.
Member for Stroud?—(Hear, hear.) It appeared, from
the papers of which the House was now in possession,
that the police were aware of all the facts of the case,
and had yet made no report whatever to the Goveru-
ment. Had they not been guilty of a dereliction of duty
in this matter?—(Hear, hear.)
Sir W. SOMERVILLE was not now able to tell the
Right Hon. Baronet why the police had not made the
proper report, but he would take care that a careful in-
quiry should be instituted.

- Sir R. PEEL called the attention of the Right Hon.
Gentleman to the fact, that the first intimation received
by the Government was not through tho Galway news-
paper, but through a Poor-law Commissioner, who had
since unfortunately died.—(Hear, hear.)
Dr. POWER gave notice that he should, on an early
day, ask the Secretary for Ireland whether Mr. Blake, the
party implicated in this transaction, still continued in the
commission of the peace.
In answer to a question from an HON. MEMBER,
Sir G. GREY stated, that some facts connected with
the alleged illegal removal of Irish paupers from Scot-
land had been reported to the Home office, and the
subject was now engaging the attention of the Lord-
Advocate.
