CIIANCERY.-(TITIS DAY.)
The Lord Chancellor sat in his Court in the Old Hal),
Lincoln's Inn, to day, and heard appeal motions, this
being the fourth seal after Hilary Term.

ATTORNEY GENERAL V. MUNRO.
Our readers will recollect that the Lord Chancellor, a
few days ago, stayed the execution of the decree pro-
nounced by the Vice-Chancellor Knight Bruce in this
case, which relates to a Presbyterian Church in St.
Peter's-square, Manchester, by which that Learned
Judge ordered the trustees of the church to be dismissed
and new ones appointed, and also dismissed Mr. Munro
from being the minister of the church. The ground on
which the Lord Chancellor stayed the execution of the
decree till the appeal was heard was, that it would cause
the dispersion of the congregation, and also the greatest
inconvenie' co, provided he should decide upon hearing
the appeal in favour of the appellants.
Mr. J. RUSSELL this morning applied to his Lordship
for leave to give notice of a motion for Friday next, to
discharge the order of his Lordship sta)ing the execu-
tion of the decree of the Vice-Chancellor Knight Bruce.
Since his Lordship had made that order ti.c etia.elt had
been locked up and deserted, and Mr. Munro and his
congregation had performed Divine service else% here, so
that the object which the Court had of preventing the
dispersion of the congregation had been frustrated.
The LORD CHANCELLOR granted leave to Mr. Russell
to give notice of motion for Friday, to discharge his
order staying the execution of the decree.
The Court then proceeded to hear appeal motions.

VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before the VICE CHANCELLOR of ENGLAND.)
This being the fourth seal, his Honour the Vice-
Chancellor of England took motions.
BARNARD GREGORY AND WIFE V. SIR THOMAS WILSON.
Mr. BETRELL showed cause in this case, on behalf of
the plaintiffs, against dissolving an injunction which
they had obtained, restraining the defendant, Sir Thomas
Wilson, from proceeding with an action of ejectment
which he had brought against the plaintiffs. It appeared
that, so long ago as the year 1813, a gentleman of the
name of Thompson entered into a treaty with the late Sir
T. M. Wilson and Lady Wilson, to take a lease of certain
land in the neighbourhood of Hampstead, and to erect a
mansion upon it. Although the lease was never exe-
cuted, Mr. Thompson entered into possession of the
land, and erected a mansion upon it, which was called
the Priory. He resided there many years, and upon his
death the plaintiffs, as his devizees, entered into posses-
sion of it, and had lived there ever since. The present
Sir Thomas Wilson brought an action of ejectment to
turn the plaintiffs out of possession, on the ground of
their having committed a breach of the contract, not
having kept the premises in proper repair or insured
them. To restrain this action an injunction had been
obtained, which it was now sought to dissolve abso-
lutely.
Mr. WALPOLE, who appeared for Sir Thomas Wilson,
said that he thought it would be best for all parties, as
there was a legal objection to the possession of the
plaintiffs, that that quEstion should b© tried at law, and
for the purpose of that question being decided, although
no lease had ever been executed ho would admit on
behalf of Sir Thomas Wilson that there was an executed
lease.
Mr. BETHELL asked for time to consider this propo-
sition, aid the motion was ordered to stand over till the
first day of Easter term.
The Vice-Chancellor Knight Bruce did not sit to-day,
and nothing of public interest occurred in the Court of
the Vice• Chancellor Wigram.

SECONDARIES'.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Secondary POTTER).
DEAN ♦ND ANOTHER V. MORTIMER.
The plaintiffs in this action are ironmongers, in King
William-street, City, and defendant is an attorney. The
claim was for ill. 7s. 4d., for goods sold. The de.
fendant pleaded that he was not indebted, but did not
appear to support his plea.
The plaintiff's attorney said the action had been
brought in the superior court, as it was a question
whether the defendant, being an attorney, could be sued
in the county courts ; and he might have pleaded his
privilege. The facts of the case, however, were very
simple, for the defendant had both ordered the goods and
agreed to the price.
A solicitor, who attended on behalf of the defendant,
said he was not instructed to dispute the delivery of the
goods or their value.
Evidence having been adduced, a verdict was given for
the amount claimed.

WATTS P. HIND.
This was an action fora bill of exchange for 101. De-
fendant pleaded that ho did not accept, but no person
appearing on his b.half, and positive evidence being ad-
duced, a verdict was given for the plaintiff.

LAMBETH.—(THIS DAY.)
George Nadge, a respectably-dressed young man, who
has been recently sworn in a special constable, was
placed at the bar charged with being one of a party who
had amused themselves by firing pistols in the Kenning-
ton-road.
Police. constable 94 P, proved the offence.
The firing of pistols has now become common with
the recently-created conservators of the peace, and
tradesmen have in many instances complained of broken
windows from the concussion.
The prisoner explained that, having been detained in
court all day yesterday as evidence against the Camber
well rioters, he had not had an opportunity of taking
food, but after retiring, he,. with more " specials," ad-
journed to a public-house, after leaving which one of
his, companions, who was armed with a pistol, fired it
in th• air, in order to prevent after danger.
The MAGISTRATE fined him lOs., or in default to be
sent ten days to the House of Correction.

ELECTION COMMITTEES.
(THIS DAY.)
HORSHAM.

The Committee appointed to try the merits of the
petition presented against the return of Mr. John
Jervis for Horsham met this morning; Lord Courtenay
in the chair.
Mr. M. D. Hill, Mr. Calvert, and Mr. Merewether,
appeared for the petitioners; and Mr. Sergeant Wrang-
ham, with whom was Mr. Clarkson, Mr. Bodkin, and
Mr. Wordsworth, for the sitting Member.
The usual preliminaries having been gone through,
Mr. M. D. HILL rose to open the case for the peti-
tioners, but he was interrupted by
Mr. Sergeant WRANGIXAM, 'who stated that the peti-
tioners prayed that the election might be declared void
on the ground that Mr. Jervis was not of age, and did
not possess a proper qualification, and that the lion.
Gentleman obtained his election by corruptly treating
and brioing the electors. Now he would admit at once,
on behalf of the sitting Member, that treating was
practised at the election, and of course the consequence
of that admission would be that the election must be
declared void, and that Mr. Jervis would be precluded
from contesting the borough during the present Parlia-
ment. The object of the petitioners would, therefore,
be gained without going into the case at all, and it would
save the• time of the Committee, and expense to the
parties, it the admission were at once accepted.
Mr. M. D. HILL said the proposition of the Learned
Sergeant had taken him and his Learned Colleagues quite
by surprise, and he must, therefore, apply to the Com-
mittee for an adjournment till to-morrow, in order that
he and his Learned Friends might have time to consult
the petitioners on the matter.
Strangers were then ordered to withdraw, and the
Committee having consulted together for a few minutes,
the parties were re-admitted, when
The CHAIRMAN intimated that the Committee had
determined to accede to the application of the Learned
Counsel for the petitioners, and to adjourn till twelve
o'clock to-morrow. At the same time he was instructed
by the Committee to mention, that although the charge
of treating had been admitted they felt it would be
necessary that some formal evidence of the allegation
must be put in order that they might found their resolu
tion upon it.
The Committee then adjourned.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.
(THIS DAY.)

HOUSE OF COMMONS.
The SPEAKER took the Chair at Twelve o'clock.
BEWDLEY ELECTION.

Committee, brought up the minutes of the evidence

lition of the duty upon solicitors' annual certificates.

against the Bill for establishing diplomatic relations
between this country and the Court of Rome.
Mr. K. SEYMER presented a petition from the
Governors of Christ llospital, praying for the aboli-
tion of the duty on legacies left for charitable pur-

poses.
RIVER DUN NAVIGATION (EXTENSION

TO SHEFFIELD).
The Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be
committed.
EJECTMENTS (IRELAND.)
Mr. POU LETT SCR OPE wished to ask the
Secretary of State for the Home Department whether
any steps are being taken or contemplated by the
Government for the prosecution of the parties con-
cerned in the illegal destruction of several houses,
and the forcible ejectment of their inmates, which
took place in the Union of Galway on or about New
Year's Day last, and which occasioned the deaths of
several of the unfortunate beings so ill treated; as
appeared by the evidence taken on oath before Major
M'Kie, Poor-law Inspector for that union, at the
request of the Commissioners, printed in page 467 of
the Fifth Series of Papers relating to the Relief of
Distress and State of the Unions in Ireland. The
Hon. Member proceeded at sonic length to read
extracts from the Report of the Commissioners of
Poor-laws in Ireland, forming the ground of his
question, but was finally called to order by the

Speaker.
Sir G. GREY said that it was impossible to read
without feelings of considerable pain of the destruc-
tion of a great number of houses in the county
of Galway. He was not aware, however, that the
parties so destroying the property had laid themselves
open to any criminal information. It was his opinion,
that if a landlord in the exercise of his discretion
acted in an unjust manner towards his tenant, the
latter would have a right of civil action, but he did
not think that they were open to any criminal pro-
ceedings on the part of the Government.
On the motion that the order of the day be pro-
ceeded with,
Mr. P. SCROPE said that he begged to differ from
the opinion expressed by the Right Hon. Baronet
the Secretary of State for the Home Department,
with respect to the persons who had forcibly ejected
their tenants and destroyed their houses not being
amenable to any criminal proceedings. It appeared
to him, from the statements in the reports, that such
conduct was punishable under the " White Boys'
Act," which prohibited the destruction or pulling
down of houses. In this case the unfortunate tenants
had been compelled to leave their houses in the middle
of a cold and inclement night, and their houses were im-
mediately destroyed. It was nothing more nor less,
in his opinion, than a system of agrarian outrage
carried on by the more powerful classes, for which
many of the poorer and weaker classes had been im-
prisoned or transported.
Sir G. GREY said that he deprecated the facts of
the case as much as any Hon. Member ; all that he
had stated was to the effect that he did not think that
the Government had the power to institute criminal
proceedings against the landlords for the commission
of such acts.
Mr. B. ROCHE said that it appeared to him that
the whole of these evils were the result of the opera-
tion of the " quarter-acre" clause, which the Irish
Members had vainly requested the House to repeal.
With respect to the right of the ejected tenant to
bring a civil action against the landlord, it was a
perfect farce to talk of such things, or suppose that a
poor wretch stripped of everything, turned out of his
dwelling, and compelled to seek refuge in the union
workhouse, could carry on an expensive suit against
the rich and powerful landlord. Was it to be sup-
posed that the poor people of Ireland could feel any-
thing like confidence in a Government which treated
them in this cruel and unfeeling manner ? The whole
object of the legislation of the House appeared to be
to protect and give impunity to the rich landlord in
his oppression of the poor.
Sir W. SOMERVILLE denied that these eject-
ments were the results of the " quarter-acre clause ;
there was no proof whatever to show that those
so ejected were the holders of only quarters of acres ;
they might, for aught they knew, be the holders of
eight or ten acres. He quite agreed in the opinion
of his Right Hon. Friend the Secretary of State for
the Home Department, that the Government had no
power whatever to institute criminal proceedings
against the landlords for these ejections and destruc-
tion of houses.
Sir A. BROOKE deprecated the wholesale charges
which were brought against the landlords of Ireland.
If cases of oppression and injustice occurred he was
perfectly willing that the names of such persons
should be made known and held up to public repro-
bation.— (Hear, hear.)
Mr. REYNOLDS proceeded to read further ex-
tracts from the " Blue Book," in confirmation of the
opinions expressed by the Hon. Member for Stroud
(Mr. Scrope), of the atrocity of the acts complained
of, and expressed his thanks to the Hon. Member for
bringing the subject before the House, and his sur-
prise that he should have been induced to vote
against the motion recently brought forward for the
appointment of a Select Committee to inquire into
the operation of the poor-law, and the causes which
led to this disastrous state of things.
Mr. NAPIER wished to confirm the opinion ex-
pressed by the Rignt Hon. Baronet the Secretary of
State for the Home Department, that the Govern-
ment had no power to institute criminal proceedings
against the landlords of Ireland.
Mr. R. M. FOX suggested that Mr. Blake, the
party who had been guilty of these outrages, ought,
at least, to be removed from the commission of the
peace.
AGRICULTURAL TENANT RIGHT BILL.
At the request of the Earl of MIRCII,
Mr. PUSEY consented to postpone untill this day
three weeks the second reading of the Agriculturtil
Tenant Right Bill.
After a few words from Mr. Slaney, Sir G.
Strickland, and Mr. Henley, the motion was agreed
to, and the Bill was ordered to be read a second time
this day three weeks.
OUTGOING TENANTS (IRELAND) BILL.
Mr. S. CRAWFORD moved the second reading
of the Outgoing Tenants (Ireland) Bill. The tenant
right had been, from time immemorial, treated in
Ireland as real property, and the object of
the present Bill was to place the rights
of outgoing tenants in Ireland upon the same footing
as they were at present in Ulster, and to assimilate
the common law of Ireland with that of the common
law of England, as it related to the relation of land-
lord and tenant. One great reason why he was
anxious that the Bill should become law was, that
the tenants of Ulster were attempting to invade the
custom that prevailed there with respect to the rights
of tenants, and it therefore became necessary to
perpetuate the custom by making it law. Unless
this Bill became the law every man in Ireland
would feel that he had not a permanent title to his
land, and he therefore could not be supposed to have
any motive for attachment to the country. The tenant
right in Ulster had proved beneficial in various ways,
It had been the means of establishing and extending
manufactures, and without it they would have
been in as miserable a condition as the other
parts of Ireland. Commissions after commis-
sions had reported upon the necessity of some
alteration in the
lawof landlord and tenant in Ire-
land ; the reports of those Commissions had been un-
heeded in that House, and one great object of this
Bill was to relieve it from the obloquy under which
it laboured for this neglect. The Hon. Member
having at some length observed upon the provisions of
the different clauses of the Bill, concluded by mov-
ing that it be read a second time.
(LEYT SITTING.)
