BANKRUPTCY.--(THIS DAY.)

(Before Mr. Commissioner PANE.)
IN RE JONES.
PETITIONING CREDITOR'S Cons.—ln this case the petitioning cre-
ditor resides at Luton, in Bedfordshire, and an application was made
for an order for his expenses, an execution having been put In on the
bankrupt's goods.
The Learned COMMISSIONER said he could not make any order on
the subject. An argument might be raised that the law should be
altered, but, as it stood, the petitioning creditor must pay his own
travelling expenses the same as any other creditor.
The Solicitor said the steps taken by the petitioning creditor were
for the benefit of the estate.
The Learned COMMISSIONER repeated that he could not interfere.
THE COMMERCIAL BANE OF LONDON V. ROBINSON.
This was a summons under the 6th and 7th Victoria, calling on the
defendant, who is a tailor in St. Paul's Churchyard, to show cause
why he did pay the sum of 861., the balance of a bill of exchange.
The Solicitor to the bank said that terms had been proposed, and
as the Company were not desirous of pressing harshly, he would
consent to an adjournment for a week.
The case was accordingly adjourned.

LABOURERS IN FACTORIES.

Mr. DUNCOMBE presented a petition in favour of the
Ten Hours' Bill. Ile also presented a petition from six
factory girls, in the employ of Messrs. Baxter and
Brothers, manufacturers, of Dundee. The petitioners
complained of ill-treatment at the hands of. their em-
ployers, and prayed the House to make come inquiry upon
the subject. He (Mr.Duncombe) believed that the circuna-
stances of the case were these. The Messrs.Baxtere had it
appeared, increased the wages of some of their' workers,
and these girls made a demand fora similar increase,
which was refused them. Ti.ey did not in consequence
attend their work one afternoon, and when they re-
turned on the following morning, the six of them (the
youngest being only 13 years of age) were locked up
for six hours and then taken before a magistrate
(but previously he might state that they had been com-
pelled to sign a paper making certain admissions), when
they were sentenced to ten days' imprisonment, with
hard labour. They, therefore, prayed the House to
make inquiry into the matter, with a view to remedy
this grievance.
Dr. BOWRINd. presented five petitions from Bolton
in favour of the Ten Hours' Bill.
THE CORN-LAWS.

Mr. ROEBUCK presented a petition, signed by 5,000
of the inhabitants ot Bath, in favour of the present pro-
posal of her Majesty's Government with respect to the

THE TARIFF.

Mr. MITCHELL wished to pttt quest; on to the
Right lion. Baronet at the head of the Gover ument. He
wished to know if it was the intention of thr,, Government,
in passing the proposed measure, to allow %hat part of the
tariff which effected smaller artiel:ea to stand over
until the corn question was sett,',ed?
Sir ROBERT PEEL st:al it veas his intention
to proceed as rapidly as te could with the other articles
of the tariff. He certif'ddy could not foretf3l to what length
the discussion uynora the question would reach.
Mr. MITCII_.e:LL said his reason for asking was to
learn if Ow other articles mentioned the tariff could
not ba talowed to be proceeded with before the corn
questkon was settled. That he feared 1 vould give rise to
diswasion of a month or six weeks' dui ation.
Sir R. PEEL, in reply, stated thy. t it was his baton-
tiorA to proceed with the corn cinestio
CHANNEL ISLANDS.
Mr. ROEBUCK wished to ask what mailing had
been taken, according to the promise' made last session
by the Government, with reference t o the iednsinistra-
tion of justice 'relative to the Channel, Islands. -
Sir JAMES GRAHAM stated :th at t Committee
bad been appointed about a month since, and they had
not yet received their report.

THE QUEEN V. ?AIMEE.

This was a most complicated and intricate case, and will occupy
the Court the whole of this day and to-morrow. The cause of action
arose out of some bill transactions, in which the defendant was in-
volved. Upon occasion of a former trial the defendant was exa-
mined as to the nature of these bills, and it was owing to the evidence
he then gave that the present presecution was instituted, the prose-
cutor alleging that that evidence was not in accordance with the
facts in connexion with the bills in question,

IVIARLBRO-STREET.-(THIS DAY

Wtn. Bond, a young man of respectable appearance, was charged
with stealing a roll of silk serge, of the value of 60/., the property of
Messrs. Each, Landon, and Holland, of 34, Sackville-street, Picca-
dilly, woollen-drapers. It appeared that about nine o'clock this
morning the prisoner was observed by a neighbour to hastily come
out of the prosecutors' shop with the property in question on his
shoulders. His manner excited suspicion, and he was pursued. He
perceived it, and, in Saville-row, set off running, after having thrown
down the roll of serge. Ile was overtaken and secured. Oa being
brought back it was ascertained that he had watched an opportunity
of entering the shop at the instant the shepman happened to be
absent.
Mr. ILianwtca asked the prisoner what answer he had to make to
the charge against him ?—The prisoner said he had nothing to say.
He was committed to take his trial at the Central Criminal Court.
Inspector Plume, of the C division, said that numerous similar
robberies had been committed at the west-end of the town. The plan
adopted generally was for one of the gang to make a rush into the
shop, and seize hold of any property that first came in his way. As
he came out, one of his accomplices secured the shop door with a
noose thrown over the spikes of the area railing, and hitched into the
handle of the lock of the door.

AYR RAILWAY.

Mr. WARD begged leave to withdraw the notice of
motion which he gave, namely, " That the petition of
the Glasgow, Paisley, Kilmarnock, and Ayr Railway
Company (presented 24th February), with respect to
their Bill (No. 5), be taken into comideration, and that
the parties have leave to proceed with their Bill." He
considered that it was better that a Oecision of a Com-
mittee should be erroneous than that it should be
impugned. The standing orders were the protect-
ing barrier of private interests. But when he had
heard that in this case, the Committee, themselves were
divided in the proportion of five to four on the subject,
matter of this petition. He looked upon the decision of
the Committe a. as a virtual abolition of the standing

orders—such decision giving the power to any indivi-
dual landowner to throw out any private Bill.
Since he had presented the petition, however, he
had been convinced that
,the parties to the
_

petition had themselves not done all that they
should have done, and that they had been guilty of
laches, and that they had actually not surveyed the
lands of those who were their friends, although they
might have done so before the 30th of November. He,
therefore, considered that the case had fallen through,
and he now begged to withdraw the motion which stood
upon the paper in his name.—(Hear, hear.)
The motion was then withdrawn.

Sir ROBERT PEEL rose to present a petition from

the shipowners of Tynemouth, signed by lOg shipowners,
representing 260 shins. The petition stated that the in-
terests of th petitioners would be extremely benefited
by a reduction on the duties of timber. He be-
lieved that the petition was signed by almost all
the shipowners of Tynemouth, with the exception of
three or four. The Right Hon. Baronet here sat down,
but rose again immediately, and said that the Hon.
Member for Durham had moved that a petition pre-
sented from the shipownt rs of the port of London should
be printed, with the view of founding a motion upon it.
Several petitions bad been presented from other places,
which petitions took views entirely adverse from those
of the shipowners of London, and it could not be against
the rules of the House to allow those petitions to be
printed also. lie, therefore, begged leave to move that
a petition lately presented from the shipowners of Dun-
dee, and which was quite in conformity with the one
presented from the shipowners of London, should be
printed.—(Hear, hear.) He also begged leave to move
that a letter from George Frederick Young, Esq., the
Chairman of the General Shipowners' Society, on the
subject of the timber duties and colonial-built ships,
should likewise be printed.
NOTICES OF MOTION.—BAZILLIAN NUNS.

Mr. COOPER gave notice, that on the sth of March
he should move for copies of dispatches which had been
sent by the Secretary of State fur Foreign Affairs, rela-
tive to the persecution inflicted on the Bazillian nuns, at

Sub-Committee No. 5.

The Committee met at half-past twelve this'day ; present Mr.
Home Drummond, (Chairman), the O'Conor Don, Mr. G. Phillips,
Mr. H. E. Compton; Mr. Tattoo Egerton, Mr. Forbes Mackenzie,
and Mr. Cornwall Leigh.

'AMBERGATE, NOTTINGHAM, AND
BOSTON.

The further hearing of this case, from yesterday, was resumed,
and the petition of several persons against this line was entered into.
The next allegation brought forward this morning was, that in the
parish of Boston the height of the proposed railway over a certain
carriage-road was not shown.

Mr. Thomas Harrison, surveyor of highways, was called, but he
did not prove the road was a public one, as it only led to private
property. He was in the habit of repairing it, and the expense was
charged to the parish.
Mr. Rice, a solicitor, of Boston, was called, but said he never saw
any carriage pass over it.
The Committee decided it was a public road, but whether a car-
riage road they would not for the present decide.
The next allegation was that a certain place in the said parish was
not mentioned in the book of reference and that there were no cross
sections laid down.

Mr. Underwood, an engineer, pointed out the cross sections on the
plan, and the Committee decided the standing orders were complied
with in respect to this railway.
CHESTER AND MANCHESTER DIRECT.

Mr. Pairr, agent to the line, begged for a postponement as they
were not prepared before Monday to enter into the proofs. The
Committee would not comp!y, and decided that the standing orders
were not complied with, inasmuch as the proofs required were not
given by the promoters of the line.

STANDING ORDERS COMMITTEES.
HOUSE OF LORDS.

This Committee resumed its sittings at twelve o'clock. The fol'ow-
ing companies having been declared to have complied with the stand-
ing orders, their Bills passed :—The Longford to Sligo Extension
Railway, the Sligo and Shannon Railway. The Committee reported
that the standing orders had not been complied with in the case of
the Wexford, Carlow, and Dublin Railway.

TONSHIRE.

The consideration of the petitions (one of which was disposed of on
Wednesday last) against the Bill was resumed.
The first petition taken was that from the trustees of the Dumbar-
tonshire highway, alleging that due notice had not been served on
them of the proposed line, in conformity with the Act of Parliament.
Mr. Graham appeared in support of, and Mr. Venables against, the
petition.
Mr. Grieve was examined to show that he had served notice on
the clerk of the trustees, Mr. M`Canister.
Mr. M'Kenizie was examined to show that Mr. M`Canister never
acted in the capacity described.
Mr. Gnamara said he thought the fact was now proved beyond all
doubt.

Mr. Grieve was re-examined, and stated that he had served the
notice In question. Mr. MeCanister was the clerk of one of the
districts.

Mr. GRAHAM contended that Mr. M'Canister was not the clerk of
the district in question, and adduced evidence to show the fact.
The Committee found that the standing orders in this case were
not complied with.

There was another allegation with respect to the turnpike-house
in the same district, in which the Committee found that the allega-
tion was sustained.

This was the last allegation in this petition.
The next petition taken into consideration was from the trustees of
the Kilmarnock district of roads, which alleged that the proposed line
crossed the road twice, first with the main line, and next with the
branch, and that notice of the latter crossing had not been served on
the trustees.

Evidence was produced, and the Committee found that the
allegation was not sustained.
There was another allegation to the same effect, which was sus-
tained.

There were two allegations, namely, that the plan deposited in the
office of the kberiff's clerk for Dumbarton, Nos. 9 and 10 marked In
tke Private Bill-office, were omitted, which were sustained.
It was alleged also that there was a similar inaccuracy with respect
to the section marked 2 chains in the plan deposited in the Private
Bill-office, which was sustained. _

It was also alleged that near the terminas at Glasgow the radius
of the curve two furlongs was not marked in the said plan and
duplicate.

this allegation was admittod on the part of Mr. Vonables, agent
for the promoters.
•-

There were several similar allegations of discrepancy between the
plans in question, which were sustained.
The next petition was from Alexander Smollett, and alleged
that the plan lodged in the Private Bill-office differed from that de-
posited in the office of the Clerk of the Peace for Dumbarton, where-
as the Act required that they should be copies.
The Committee having inspected the Private Bill-office plan, found
that the allegation was not sustained.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.

NORTHERN CIRCUIT, Carlisle, Feb. 25.
This being the cononissionAlkt Newcastle, Mr. Justice
Coleridge proceeded thither by an early train-Mr. Justice
Patteson remaining to dispose of the few cases still on the
calendar. _

Charles Stead was indicted for cutting and wounding John
O'Brien, at Penrith, on the 12th inst.
The details of this case were the same as those already
given of the attack which was made by a number of English-
men working on the Lancaster and Carlisle Railway;on the
house of a person of the name of MLevi, where a number of
Irishmen lodged. The prisoner was identified as having
been one actively engaged in the outrage, and by whom the
prosecutor was knocked down and severely wounded. He
was found guilty of a common assault.
Joseph Andrews was indicted for an assault on James
Mooney.
This was a portion of the same transaction. The prisoner
was clearly identified as one of a party by whom the prose-
cutor, an Irishman, was knocked down and severely beaten.

—Verdict, Guilty.
An indictment for riot had been found against John Hob-
day, convicted yesterday, Geo. Fallowfield, Charles Stead,
Joseph Andrews, and John Richardson, but it was arranged,
they pleading guilty to the riot, that those not convicted of
other offences should be discharged on their recognizances
to keep the peace, and to come up and receive judgment if
called on.
His LORDSHIP then proceeded, in a most impressive ad-
dress, to pass sentence on the prisoners. He characterised
the attack made on the house of M'Levi, and the treatment
of the inmates, as one of the most cowardly, brutal, and
savage actslhe had ever heard related in a court of justice ;
and observing that it was necessary to repress such outrages
by a severe example, sentenced Hobday to be transported for
15 years, Stead to 18 months' imprisonment, and Andrews to
12 months.

BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.)

Thomas Jones was charged with lurking about Pall-mall, in female
clothes, and not being able to give a good account of himself. lle
was brought into the Court iu his disguise, and certainly had the ap-
pearance of a lady. •
A policeman of the A division said that he observed the prisoner
loitering about in Pall-mall for about two hours, from one to near
three o'clock this morning, and having some suspicion as to his real
sex he at last went up to him and told him "he thought he was a
man." The prisoner denied it, but he, witness, being convinced that
he was right in his suspicions took him to the station-house, where
he admitted that he was a man, and said that he had been at a
masquerade, but would not say where.
The prisoner refused to :give any account of himself, or to explain
the motives for assuming the disguise. He said, however, that
Jones was an assumed name, and that his real name was Beasley.
Mr. JARDINE said that he could not force the prisoner to give an
account of himself, but he must form his own opinion as to the
reasons for concealment. The prisoner must find bail to keep the
peace and be of good behaviour for six months.

LONDON, FRIDAY, FEBRIIA.RY 27, 1846.

The Lonn CHANCELLOR took his seat on the Woolsack at
Five o'clock.

After the presentation of various petitions,

The Marquis of WESTMEATH asked whether a deputation,
consisting of several persons, waited upon his Excellency the
Lerd Lieutenant of Ireland, after Die conviction, and before
the execution of BRIAN SEERY, to pray that the convict
should not be respited, or his sentence transmuted, but that
he should be executed ? Secondly, whether the deputation
purported
to proceed from the county of Westmeath. Thirdly,
whether sucb proceeding is to be deemed " harsh and unusual."
TheNo Noble Marquis then went into a long statement, im-
pugning the conduct of the Catholic clergy of Westmeath in
regard to the case of
tBRIAN SEERY.

The Marquis of WESTMEATH and the Earl of ST. GERDIA'..NS
mutually explained.
Lord STOUI:TON vindicated the Roman Catholic priesthood
from the attacks which had been made upon them.
Lord BROUGHAM thought that any such discussion as
the one now entered on tended to poison the administra-
tion of justice. He hoped that the Catholic priests were
worthy of the eulogium that had
been passed on them, and
of it
they would be more deservingif they were to give up,
at once and for ever, the absininable practice of delivering
political addresses to their flocks. If any priest, Catholic or
Protestant, were to interfere with the administration of
justice, it would be the duty of the judge to punish him.
The County Works Presentments (Ireland) Bill was read
a second time, after a few words from Lord MoNTEAGLE and
the Eirl of of GERMAN'S. 1

The other Bills on the tablo were forwarded a stage,
ant their Lordships adjourned.

The SPEAKER took the Chair at Four o'clock, and upon
s.) called the attention of the House to a discrepancy
between the writ and the return for South Nottinghamshire,
which was amended by the Clerk of the Crown at the table,
after which Captain VYsE took the oaths and his seat for
the southern division of that county in the room of Mr.
