duct.—(Hear; hear.) He trusted-that4he Noble Lord would
eschew the old prejudicial system of preferring strangers to
natives in the appointment of Government officers.—(Cheers.)
He could assure the Noble Lord that he would be able to select
men of confidence and high character—men that knew
Ireland—sot men that were brought thither to spend
the first half of their time in unbecoming Engli•h
ptejudices and the other half in beginning_ to knew the Irish

would pursue that enure he would do much to advance the
prospente and happiness of the Irish people. Well as the
Secretaryship for Ireland had been filleo by the Noble Lord
the Member for the West Riding of Yorkshire, whilst the
Whir were in offire, vet he (Mr. Shaw) doubted whether
even he was suffisiently at:painted with Ireland to discharge
those duties in a satisfactory and efficient manner. He would
undertake to say, on behalf of himself and those around him,
that if the gentlemen opposite come into power they
would at lease find them &eyelid and generous opponents.—

and he was anxious to state this broadly and wholly irrespective

affirm this, that if the Government or the present Administra-
tion should be overthrown by the voice of the representatives
of the people, that not only this country, but the whole world
would regard it as a righteous verdict and a just national judg-
ment upon public men for a great public delinquency.—( Hear,
hear, and laughter.)
Mr. DILLON BROWNE said that the speech of the Right
Hon. Gentleman who had just sat down must give the greatest
satisfaction, as it w s indicative of the conciliatory cour-e here-
after to be taken by the Protestants of Ireland towards their
Catholic fellow-countrymen. It was clear that what was destruc-
tive to the Catholic must also be injurious to the Protestant.
and that what was death to Connaught and Munster must be
contagious to Ulster, and it would best advance the interests of
4Oth parties if they were to join in furthering the good of their
common cruitry. The Right Hon. Gentleman represented
the University of Dublin, but certainly if he were to take the
speech of the Right Hon. Gentleman as a sample of the legit
used in Dublin, he must certainly say his premises did not
justify his conclusion. He made a speech against the Coercion
Bilis whilst he voted for the Coercion Bill. He did not even
adduce a single argument in favour of that measure, anti yet he
Niels prepared, though his whole speech tended to a different
direction, to vote for the measure. N•twehe did not mean to
shy this disrespectfully of the Right Hon. Gentleman, but he
was afraid that his vote on this question was influenced by
an ambition to be the future Seereta-y for Ireland.
The Members of the Government had not wale out a case in
jhstificatioe of this most coercive measure. The speech of the
Noble Nord. the Secretary for Ireland, was made for the pur
pose of esrablt-hing two points—the eai-tence of crime, and
the necessity of removing it. Tea Government had shifted
their gr.nroinn this qtr'stion, and the speech in question had
been a perfe•A failure. The sreesh of the Right Hon
Baroner tire Secretary fn. the Hem, Department was made
for the purpose of proviee that it was neeessary to su tend
the Constitution with r•seeet to I• lam!; thus estatlishing a

by the Right Hon. Rarenet, or the " pop guns " shot off by
the Noble Lord the Secretary for Ireland. One of the rea-
sons alleged fur bringing us this B II was fore, d marriaues in
Ltd Laughter ) Another reason was the number of
outrages of an agrarian chiracter in tint unf irtunete country.
He found, however, that cut of the six thousand reported,
there were not really six hundred which arose from causes
connected with the land. The Hon Member read a list of
agrarian outrages in England. to show that crime w:'s more
prevalent in that coon re than in Ireland. H-r Majesty's
Government had done much fur Ireland; he did not wish to
test their actions by the vulgar rules of arithmetic- ( Hear,
hear)- they had coma forward in th • Ire crisis in a manner
that reflected the,highest c- edit on themselves, as had already
been acknowledged in that House by the reival Members.
Sir R. PEEL said that the question which they at present
hatt to decide was not whether they should enter into Com-
Mitiee on the Bill which had been introduced by the Govern-
s' argent for the protection of life and property in Ireland, or
whether measures would be introduced for the purpose of pre-
venting the outrages which had been comma tid in that
eountry. The question which the House had to decide would
be whether thee would reject altogether the proposl of he
Government, whether they would refuse the consideration of
this question, whether they would imply that the present con-
dition of Ireland could be dealt with by the existing laws, or
whether there should not be some additional protection for the
purpose of giving that security to life and property which was
so mash required in that errantry- He regretted that
disease existed, but he felt it necessary to vindicate
the course which the Government had taken on this occasion,
but ha would take care to limit the consideration of the ques-
tion within the narrowest limits. He acknowledged the cor-
dial support which the Government had received from Hon.
Gentlemen opposite throughout the progress of those commer-
cial measures which had been ratified by that House, and he
thanked those Hon. Memb2rs for the concurrence they had
thus given to those questions. That concurrence, however, did
not impose any otligation on them ; they were not required to
give their support to measures which they might consider of
an unconstitutional character. He would give them the credit
that they did not desire that Ireland should be made the arena
for the settlement of disputes. He believed that these Hon.
IV/embers would well consider whether or no this proposal of
the Government was justified by the circumstances of Ireland,
and whether it was desirable to object to a measure
which had for its object the quietude of that country, without
any reference to mere party considerations. Her Majesty's
Government thought it their duty to propose another measure
than the existing law would warrant, because they found
that in certain.ceunties in Ireland there prevailed a system of
outrage which set at defiance every authority of thelaw. They
found that in fens or five of the counties in Ireland there had
been a system of grievances and danger to life and property
which peremptorily called for the intervention of the Govern-
ment. Her alajeety's Government foan4 that in some of the
counties there had been murders, and it was with the greatest
difficulty' the murderer could be discovered ; and it was found,
also, that the contagion seread to the neighbouring counties,
and the Government, therefore, found it their duty to brine
under the c .ns deration of Parliamert a measure having
fur its object the giving of additional powers for
the maintenance of the peace of that country. Among the
strenuous opponents of her Majesty's Governm-nt, he found
-the lion. Member for Ballast, wini had opened the debate
'this evening- The Hon. Member said, that the system rat
outrages which had occurred in some parts of the country was
such, that he would willingly acquiesce in some measure
for reutelying the evil. The Him. Member stated that
he would prefer a• suspension of the Hebei, Corpus Act to
the present, measure. There had been only cue argument

'Sir ROBERT PEEL would ask his Hon. Friend to repeat
what he stated upon the subject ?
Mr. SH t%V stated that what he referred to was to illustrate
that frcm the highest to 'h • lowest there existed a state of igno-
rance en tee condi ion ot Ireland.
Sir R. PEEL had certainly heard another account of this
matter, and that while the mother of the housemaid—
(Laughter)—was afraid of the Curren-. the master of the
servant was actually pressing the measure upon the Govern-
ment, stating that if the measure had been brought forward
an the first day of. the session, it would have passed without
ooposition. Now with reference to the speech of the Hon.
Ale nber for Stroud (P. Scrope), he stated that these c, mbi -
talons for outrage were only the natural necessity for poor
relief, and considered that there would be no chance of obtain-
ing tranquillity for Ireland until they gave to the Irish peasant
a sight of relief from the land, O.her persons thought that
this wottkLbe an unwise provision, and that it would lead to
the eanfiseation of property. But said the Hon. Gentleman,
until you pass a law of this nature, the peasant has
no right 'to live in Ireland, and the only means to
whieh..hesee could resort for the purpose of ridding himself
.res were these combinations —( Cheers.)

(Sir R. Peel's) conduct, and, he continued, that he had by no
m-ans hunted and chased Mr. Canning to death, ln January,
)824, the Duk o' Well ing : • was cal:ed into power,and after the
explanations of ttd27. on the death of all-. Carmine, a proposal
was made by which he ( Sir R. Peel) continued in Governmen';
and if the Ga!lant arid Chivalreus Marquis of Anglesey, Mr.
Huskisson, Lora Melbourne, and others had considered that he
had bunted and chased the Noble Lord's relative to death, he
did not think that they would have aced as they did
at that period. No such charge was preferred against
him even by the nearest relative of that illustrious statesman.
But with that he had no concern. He referred only to the coo-
-1 duct of those Noblemen and Gentlemen as a proof that they
did not participate in the feelings expressed the other night
by the Not le Lord. But this h' would say, that th,-; charge
of the Noble Lord with respect to his change of opinion wet
utterly and entire 4 destitute of foundation.—( Cheers.) He
foresaw when he undertook to propose these measures the opts-
sition they would receive in that House—he foresaw the biter
hostility to which he should be subjected in the execmion of his
public duty. He had explained the motives which led him to
think that the public interest required an adjustment of the
Catholic question—he foresaw the consequences of the acts to
which they would inevitably lead - Er Lori saw that that ques-
!tion would probably lead to the breaking up of private frii nil-
ship. , He might have been in error as to the course which he
pursued on that occasion, but he utterly denied having been
actuated by impure or unworthy motives.—(Loud cheery.)
That he wished to interfere with the settlement of this question
by the Noble Lord who was absent to-night, that he wished to
fortify himself by power, that he was influenced by any desire to
court popularity—to gain distinction or advantage at any time,
he declared that the imputation of motives so base would be as
foul a calumny as vindictive spirit ever uttered.
Upon the motion of Mr. O'CONNELL the debate was
adjourned.

a great i nprovement, but he most observe that it had
been occupied by an overwhelming military force, and
great ex rtit n had been, made by he magistrates and
local sentry. In this enutery the number of offences in 1845
was 'l4; and in the five months of the present year only 164.
—( Hear, Lear. ) This was the total for the first five months
of the present year, and supposing that the same increase of
crime should go on for the remainder of the year that hal
taken place in the five months, in that case in the five counties
the number in 1846 would be 3,013, as compared with 2,026, the
number of 1845.—( Loud cries of " Hear, bear.") In Leitrim
the reduction had been most material, for while the number in
1845. was 814, at the rate of the first five months of the present
year, the number in 1e46 would be only 414.—( Hear. hear.)
Leaving offences of an insurrectionary character, he would pro-
ceed to those of an aggravated nature, such as homicides, firing
at the person, aggravated assaults, assault and threatening life,
and firing into dwellings ; and he would compare the offences
of 1845 with the 'aloe crimes ie the first five mentes of the
Present year. In the first five months of 1845,
the homicides
were 00; in the five months of the present year, 28 CaseslBs

Ist of January to the ,nd of May, that the total of offences in

remedy. Of the 1.1-8 offences, Tipperary had 2'6, Clare
171, Roscommon 3e3, Limerick 210, and Leitrim 138. Out
of the, whole of these 1,188 offences there had been but 54
convictions.—( Hear, hear.) Let them conceive the melan-
clip!), spectacle it presented, and say whether some extraardi-
nary measure of this kind was not required. According to
the returns of homicides or murders, he found in the five
counties, that in February, 1846, the number of homicides or
murders was 18, and 26 attempts at murder. In March there
were 23 murders or homicides, and 14 attempts at murder.
Was it possible they should not deal with such a state of things?
No alteration in the law of landlord and tenant would come
in operation to meet this state of things. Let them
consider the class of parties that were the victims; they
would end that they were persons in the humblest walks of
life. (The Right Hon. Baronet here read an extract from the
document in his hand, to the effect that persons in the poorest
walks of life had been attacked.) This (he continued) was the
class of persons that lost their lives in Ireland, and they might
conceive what must be the amount of apprehension, anxiety,
and fear, that prevailed, where murders were committed night
after night. Admitting that the remedial measures proposed
by Hon. Members on the other side of the House were cor-
rect, when there was no evidence of their being immediately
brought into beneficial operation could they dispense
with some temporary measure to meet the present state of
things. It would not interfere with the operation of any
temedial measure they might propose, while it would prevent
the growth of crime. During the five years that a similar
law was in operation,, it was found that the fear of it was
sufficient on the minds of the people without bringing it into
actual operation. From the consideration of these facts, he
felt it his duty to press forward the second reading of the Bill.
He knew not of anything more be had to say in vindication of
. the Government, in proposing the present measure for putting
1.
' -nd end to crime and to restore confidence. Here he was
willing to dismiss the question, but he felt it imeeraiive to
not'ce the speech made the last night of the debate by the
Noble Lord the Member for Lynn (Lord G. Bentinclr)' He
( Sir R. Peel) deeply regretted, not only for his own sake, but
for the character of the House, that during the present
session for the first time a license of speech had been
used which he felt assured would prove most
injurious to the cause of free discussion. During a
parliamentary life of 35 }ears he had not witnessed any exam-
ples of such proceedings.—( Hear, hear. ) He had sat in Par-
liament in tim• s of great excitement. and he believed it-lr-o:de
to conduct debates in that House with every latitude conducive
either to free discie sion or the interests of the public without
thong anything to lower their characters as public' men.
(Hear, hear.) But if the Noble Lords preceecing is to be
considered parliamentary, it behoved him (Sir IL 'Peel) to
say it must not be one•sided.—( Hear, hear, and - cheers. )
Ti.eir sense cf justice would induce them to give all parties
the same freedom of speech that was claimed by
these he had alluded to. —( Hear. hear.) They would not
refuse to give those who were calumniated and maligned the
same justice to defend as they had been attacked. He hoped
they would maintain him in the course he was about to take,
and he should endeavour to do nothing inconsistent with his
position as a public man ; but should hestep beyond the rule of
strict propriety. he hoped they would not forget the provo-
cation he had received.--t Hear, hear. )—He would endeavour
not to forget, as he had ever remembered the position in which
he was placed, as the Prime Minister of the ceuntry, charged
wish the proposal and conducting of more important
measures than had ever been submitted to
Parliament by any public man.—(Hear, hear.) But
there were bounds which ought to be respected by every
one in such matters. The Noble Lord had said not merely
that her Majesty's Government despaired at the ultimate sue-
cess of carrying this measure, but he presumed to ray that
they were not in earnest in passing this measure.—tHesr,
eear.) The Noble Lord had given them his supp rt during
the progress 'sof the measure, but be (Sir R. Peel) had not '
characterised them as " hired janissaries" tecause they had
avowed their intention of now turning round and opposing the
Bill. Gentlemen exercising their free right of judgment upon
public matters had been denouneed by the Noble Lord as base
senegades. The Noble Lerd had exercised his private right
of varying his.vote according to his sense of public duty. He
thought the Noble Lord . voted last year against restrictions
sponfaetory labour, and voted for them this year, and without
bong questioned by any one as to the purity of his motives.—
( Hear, hear.) He thought the Noble Lord was prepared to
support by far the most absurd and impracticable
measure, namely, the permission to import foreign grain
into Ireland, but that permission was not to extend to England.
—( Hear, hear, and laughter.) The Noble Lord, he believed,
voted for the first reading of this Bill, upon the ground that r o
man could safely go to church--(Hear, hear)—that old
women—(Laughter)—could not go to church without being '
subject to constant danger—that women with children in their 1
arms were assassinated—that there was no security for life and
property ; and that he and his friends, without respect to party
considerations, were determined that this licence should not be
tolerated upon the pretence of this Bill being
contrary to constitutional liberty. Well, the Noble Lord was
prepared to vote against this Bill.--(Hear, hear, and laughter.)
The Noble Lord said he would withhold his confidence from
the public, and he thought himself justified to vote against the
measure; but if the Noble Lord claimed for himself the
privilege of varying his vote, let him (Sir Robert
Peel) tell him ' that he was bound to withhold
from others such expressions as paid janissaries and renegades.
—( Cheers.) Why, who were the men who were included as
Janissaries?—( Hear, hear.) He (Sir R. Peel) looked upon
them, and he did not name them because they were more parti
cularly eminent, or more particularly entitled than others. He
believed that every man who had given him support, had riven
him that support 'rom pure and honourable motives. But was
it ' o be tolerated that such Members as his eight II n. Friend
the Chancellor of the Exchequer, or Lord Francis Eger.on,
or Mr. Wilson Patten—( Cries of " Order, order. e)
He begged pardon for mentioning names, but
was it to be said that because they exercised
that public right which every pubic matt might
exercise, that such men were to be branded with the names of
paid Janissaries and renegades?—( H ar, hear.) He did be-
lieve that such language was not only calculated to impede fie,
discussion, but he believed that if such language was perm tied.
it would create unmitmated disgust.—( Loud cheers.) Let him
now proceed to notice the personal attack which the Noble
Lord had made upon him. He was glad he di,- net act upon 1'
the impulse of the moment, and immediately reply to thef
attack made upon ' him. The Noble Lord referred
to eircumetances --which had now pss-ed, he beteved,!
about 19 yeais,. and he (sir Robert Peel) being then
' in imperfect recollection of the exact state of the affair, re-1
jotted that he did not give au aeseer to those petsonar al ega- j
eons tilt- he had an opportunity of ascertaining how far 'they i
were well founded. That attack" was made in the pteseece 'of many members who were entering Parliament new for the
first time, and who, perhaps, hail an imperfect recollection to'
what the Noble Lord alluded, and he was particularly anxious
that however hostile they might be to his policy, thee sh ield!
not remain under the impression that the Noble Lord's;
sllegations were calculated to create. (Hear, hear. )
That particular attack to which he was referring,
was couched in these wards—" fhe Noble Lord said that'
he was old enough to remember, and remember with heart-
felt sorrow, that he (Sir R. Peel) chased and hunted an illus-
trious relative of his (Lord Bentinck) to death—(Hear, heat.)
—on the ground that though he had changed his opinion on
the question of Catholic emancipation, in 1827, he yet professed
to hold the same opinion in 1829, and that he had communi-
cated his change of opinion to the Earl of Liverpool ;
but that did not prevent him, in 1827, getting up in
the same assembly and stating that he could not support a
Government, of which the chief Minister was favourable to a
' measure, which, in two years afterwards, he (Sir R. Peel)
intended to carry. That was the statement of the Noble Lord.
The Noble Lord said that he very well recollected the time.
No doubt he did, because he was at that time a Member of the
House of Commons, and the Noble Lord heard all that
passed. It was now nineteen years since that transaction oc-
curred, and seventeen years since the' speech was made in
1829, Well, now, be (Sir R. Peel) must say that he did re-
spect the feelings of the man who felt uneasy at the conduct
that had chased his relative to death. The Noble Lord
Abhorred those who tried to hunt and chase a public man who
,eos'acting in the performance of his public duty--( Hear,
lale:)' But if that man was chased and hunted to death as
in this 0., his feelings were to be respected in the highest

MALTA, JUNE 3.—Her Majesty's steamer Lncust left pore
•m Friday e.veili .g last, having on board Commander Grav,,,,;
of her Alajesty's surveying service, and the daughter of Rear•
Admiral Curtis.

The Locust proceeds to Girgenti, whence Captain Graves
will proceed to visit Graham's Shoal, r.nd ascertain, by
soundings, if the late shkcks of earthquake -felt here have
affected in i.ny manner that curi”us volcanic batik.
The Locust will Oso go to Salerno, and there ascertain
the difference of longitude between that place and Malta, for
which purposes she has been provided with ten chronometer,
by trilerof Government.
The brig Ilarlt gum will proceed to• morrow to Corfu, where
she is ordered to relieve the Orestes.
The Jiff Tent packen and mail-boats have all an ived, and
continued their several voyages to the places of their ulti-
mate destination.

Two dicers of this garrison, Lieut. Cockburn, of the 42d
Regiment, and Lieut. Power, R.A , have been sentenced by
Mr. Charles Harper, the sitting magistrate, to five days'
imprisonment, for an assault committed b% them on the Ist
instant on a young man named Gergani, .on leaving the
Opera House on Monda. last. The assault was must un-
callid tOr and unjustifiable, and seems to have been caused
by an old piq :e against the prosecu'or. It is, however,
pleasing to reflect that such events are of rare occurrence.
On the arrival here yesterday of her Majesty's ste,mer
Acheron from Marseilles, news of. her Maksty's having given
birth to a Princess reached us. Ills Excellency the Governor
immediately ordered the royal standard to be hois- ed at the
Palace anti the public offices, and a royal salute was fired
from Fort St. Angelo, the receiving-ship Ceylon, and her
Majesty's brig Harlequin.
Dr. Sabina Vella, one nf the magistrates of the judicial
police. d ed on Sunday last, deeply and unive,sally regretted.
The death of Vice-A.,miral Sir R. W. 01 way. K.O

This gentlemen, who let: Malta with the Admiral on the

decease. By refer,nce to the naval intelligence received from
I_-radon. we observe he has been superseded ire th command
of t,at beautiful steliner Connnander J .hn Lunn, 'we

"A'AD tttAIITY,
OR THE PEA:-ANT OF THE OPERA-HOUSE AND
THE AGRICULTURAL LALOILIER AS HE REALLY
IS.—(A CON TRA:)T. )
Ail the fashioLablo young ladies and the elegantly.
dressed young gentlemen who frequent the Opera-
house, have a sort of vague idea that the spruce
young peasants with broad brimmed straw hats,
and stiirt-sleeves tied up with blue ribbon, and
fl, sh-coloured silk stockings and satin tights, as
se en on the stage, are true arid exac_ repre-
entatior,s of country Jai ourers ; that these same
peasants, a 3 they caul thorn, are e!`go.ged all day senti-
mcntally leaning against a tree And p!ay ing on a pipe to
a flock of sheep, and dancing every night under trees
illuminated by
lamps, with yourig damsels as elegantly
dressed as themselves. And these young fashionables
think tiieir papas and their uncles, who make protec-
tion speeches in Bond-street or the House of Com-
mons, v-ry p,triotic and wise men; and tout that wicked
Sir Robert Peel, that odious Sir James Graham, and
that dreadful revolutionary League, wish to destroy this
rural happiness, and to shut up the dear creatures in
union workhouses. And they further believe that all
these stories, got up by Mr. Sheridan and t-ie Rev. Mr.
Osborne and others, about labourers breaking stones,
with cold potatoes in their bogs, and their wives and
children with nothing to eat but cabbage leaves and
horse be ans boiled together, and wages being only seven
shillings a-week—are inventions of free traders to make
"protection to native industry " unpopular, and to bring
that worthy class, the country gentlemen, into contempt,
and that it is all a cunningly devised scheme to inveigle
these charming and interesting young men and women
who dance so divinely and sing so charmingly in chorus,
into horrid and pestilential factories, which they are
never allowed to leave to retura to their dear country
pavtunes.

,IttoNsiDE AND ANOTHER V. WHARTON.-- ILUIMAY
REPUDIATI,N.
This was an action (or, money paid for railway shares on
account of the defendant.

COZ
Scuatt.—The market has been rather dull for British Plantation.
although cheaper. early in the week. Barbadoes has' realised 54s 6d,
fur tine Yellow, and 50s 6d to 51s 6d for mid.

The defendant pleaded that he was never indebted, and
that he had nevcr autlp,rised the purchase.
Martin, with whom was N. T. Jones, conducted the
case for the plaintffs; and Mr. Jervis appeared for the de-
tcndatit.

It at.peared that the plaintiffs are brokers at Sheffield. and
the defendant a file worker in the same place, and that on
the 3d of Se t. tuber last .year the latter called upon the
former, and instructed them to purch,se ten shares in the
Manchester. and
,Southampt,n Railwry. In the course of
the same' afternoon, howev,r, the son of the defendant called
by his father's direction, and begged that the purchase should
be for twenty instead of ten shares. On• that evening the
plaintiffs wrote up to their agents, Messrs. Alsopp, to execute
the commission. Those gentlemen did so. and bought at
4/.- 7r. 6.1. premium, the deposit of 2/. being paid. The
Messrs. Alsopp wrote by post on the 4th, stating that they
had made the purchase, and the terms upon which it had
been made.. This letter was received by the plaintiffs on the
.s!h, and on that day they apprised the defendant of their
having carried out his instructions. About the end of
October the scrip was issued, and then the plaintiffs called
upon the defendant to take up his twenty shares. Instead of
doing this, however, he applied, through a friend of the
name of Barker, for time, accompanied with,. a promi'.a to
pay after iJhristmas. The plaietiffs acceded 'to the requt st.
In the month of January, the defendant was called ppoufor
the performance of his promise, but he then called upon. his
friend Mr. Barker, and stared, that as many respectable men
were repudiating' their bargains, -so should he in this
particular transaction.. - Barker remonstrated with him
upon the diabonourable character of such a proceeding, but
without any effect. The plaintiffs, upon hearing this, wrote
a letter to the defendant, threatening to post his name, un-
less he at once tame and took up his shales, for they were
net,at that period aware that there was any remedy in the
shape of an action at law. Millers, however, went on until
the month of March last, when the plaintiffs sent a clerk of
the name of ,Belcher to demand payment for the shares. The
defendant on that occasion denied all knowledge of the
plaintiffs and the shares, that he had ever had any trans-
actiors with ti em, or that he had anything to do with the
shares. In consequence of this treatment the plaintiffs re-
solved.upen instituting the present proceedings.
On behalf 'of the defendant it was contended that the
shares were.the shares of the witness Barker, and that they
had not been bought by the plaintiffs en account of the de-
fendant. This -poi. t, .toweVer, after the examination of
Barker, the Learned Couusel for the defendant abandoned
He also contended that an unreasonable time had elap-ed
between the date of the instructions to pure!-age and the
alleged purchase, inasmuch as that if there had been any in,
structions at all, they had been given on the 15th of August,
whilst it had,been admitted that.uo purchase had been made
' until the 4th of September.
The son of-the, defendant was examined, but in his cross-
examinati .n he proved that he had c fled as recently as Sa-
turday last upon Mr. Unwin. of Sheffield, the plaintiffs'
attorney, and offered a compromise
li4r. Baron PAI4E, in leaving the case to the jury, said
thee:the. first qm•sti -n was, whether the defendant had given
any order for this purchase; of
.that f.ct there could be no
doubt after the tei,thnony of, his eown on ; next came the
question whether it was material as to whether the instruc-
tions Were given nit the 15th. of August or the 3d of _Septem-
ber. Now, as to this it was clearly not material,. because in
any of the subsequent corresp4idence which the. defendant
had had with the plaintiff's be had never raised ainy such
point as an ohjecti. it. • 'wired, he had never raised it at all
u. rl Oe'ac top bad been brolight. These were matters of
c nsickration fur the jury, and they must determine upon
them.

rates are insisted upon, but there are few buyers at present

non a:=sumpsit. The cause • was tri, d before him
( the Lord Chief Baron) on the 22d of February last,
and was brought. against the defendant as one of the
Provisions! Committee t f the Din et Birmiegliam and. Ox-
ford Railway. The Company was provisionally registered
under the 7,h and Bth Vict,ria, the capital was to be
2,000,000/.,divided into Br,ooo shares of 25/ each, the deposit
to be '2/, 12s. 6d. - On the 7th of October, 1845, die. plaintiti
applied tor shares, and on the 18th of October she received
her letter of allotment ; it was for thirty shares, and on which
she paid as dept sit the sum of 78g. 15s. This letter was to
have been. exchanged f r scrip. On. the 27th of October
the plaintiff applied for the:scrip, when the was informed
that the issuil-g of the scrip wouN take place on the
6th. of November. On the 12th the plaintiff applied
again, when she was infOrmed by the secretary that the
company did not intend to issue any, and that the affairs of
the company would be wound up, and the mimics, after pay-
ment of the expenses, would be retorted. • In consequence of
public confidence in the Share Market being shaken, the
deposits or only 4.000 shares had been paid. On these grounds
the plaintiff brooght her action against the deendant, as one
of the pr c ainnittee. At the trial it was contended
that, the defendant was not table. The jury, however,
found a verdict for the plaintiff; leave being given for the
defendant to move to enter a nensuit if the Court Should be

of ..pinh)n the plaintiff had not made out her ease. Mr.
Martin, in the last term, obtained a rule nisi for a Honsuit or

a near:trial. As the whole matter had been very fully dis-
eu sed, it would not be necessary to advert to the
a,guments of Counsel, further than to say that

the Court fully of opitdon that they plaintiff
iz; entitled to. recover, and therefore cn the count for

- •
money had and received, the verdict must be entered for the
plaintiff; aid for the d fendart on the first count. Ir. was
• argtoA by the dt-foriliant's ,00nsel that there existed a quasi
partnership. but such was not true, for there was no
evidence or proof f that fact; and we are of, opinion
tlitt no such partner.hip ever 'existed. With re-
spe6t to the point that the plaintiff had by her
application for the scrip became itionitied with the G m.
pang, we are of opinion that no scrip I, at ever been issued,
tOr the scheme w,e an 7 b •rtive one, and that it had failed
bet Ore any allotm, ht of ,crio was Madc. With re!rard to the
p .int raised that the C topaoy was not at an end, the Court
is fully of opinion that the answer of the secretary that the
affairs of the Company were about to be wound up, was suffi.,
dent evidence to go to th, jury, and they found the:. the
Company was at an end: and we 'hick tbe• jury we'e well
warranted in coming to that conclusion. The next consi-
deration for the Court is the claim which was made for
2s. fd. per shire towards- the defraying of the expenses of
the Company. Now. that motfry was f -pecifle pur use, and
until the scheme Wii,3 fully carried out such a claim could not be
maul tained, and therefi.re the plaint iffis entitled to recover that
part back also. The judgment et the Court therefore is, that
the verdict on all the pleas is to he en,er.-d for the 01,,tint HT,
With the exception of the plea to the first count, which will be
fir the d;Tetolant.

There are some • fashions which have so little of tho
enduring principle in them, that they seldom inirvii7r tit
of a single season ; others which, fr°enslterilem, and

invaluable R.gistered Paletot, made by the Messrs.

Highness Prince Albert. This exceedingly -tiseful and

ephemeral character, is mite in almost universal use. N"

QUTCHN V. BANKS AND CORMACK..
In this eaQe, which was tried at he last Kent Spring As-
sizes at Maidstone, the defendants were brought up for judg-
ment. The defendants are manufacturiugchemks in Thames-
street, Greenwich, and the.premises in which thty carried on
their business was entered upon in :the sprin, of 1845. In
November of the ,ame year, the parish aut!.orities of Green-
wich receiving- complaints of the works of d,femlants occa-
sioning a nuisance. and injuring the health ..f the ileigh-
bourbond, notice of action was served, and the del,ndants
not sati-fying .the
.complainants as to their aband-ning the
processes occasionint the nuisance complained of, an in-
dictment was preferred ; and a verdict was obtained after a
long trial, and the. examination of a large number of wit-
nesses. at Maidstone. • Bail was then given for the appearance
of the defendants for judgment in the Court of Queen's
Bench, when called on. This morning several affidavits
in mitigation were put in. to the effect that the processes com-
plained of wete'not injurious to health, and that had they been
so, they were discontinued before the indictment was pre-
, ferre,l, est hey were ot.ly entered on as experiments preliminary
to the obtaining of certain rtents that. would materially le-
move the existing objections to large chemical works in
towns arid popul,.w4
Mr. Sergeant BUEii was heard at some length also in
mitigation.
The COURT decided that the defendants should

pay the.e
