statements hack, s.Chich would have shown the report o
Mr. Mott to be false, and that when Sir James Graham
and Mr. Lewis were in possession of Sir John Wal-
sham's and of previous reports with respect to
the union, that Mr. Mott's report was alone
used. Mr. Lewis could scarcely be considered to
have acted fairly by putting forward the statement of
Mr. Mott alone, when others were in his possession,
which, to say the least of them, were contrary to that
report. The Learned Gentleman then proceeded to read
the affidavit of Mr. Ferrand. It stated that he was
elected a Member of Parliament in 1841, and that he
had formed a very strong opinion as to the impolicy of
the New Poor-law, as he or any other man had a perfect
right to do; and that he was returned to Parliament on
the express statement made by him that he would use
the influence of his position to obteinlthe abolition of that
law. Early that session he received a communication from
Sir James Graham, stating that he wished to see him.
On waiting on him, Sir James Graham stated, on the
part of the Government, that they were anxious that he
should abstain from opposing the New Poor-law. He
replied that he could not do so, as his conscientious
opinions were against it, and that he had pledged his
constituents to oppose it. He made a motion to rescind
an order of the Poor. law Commissioners of the 30 h of
April, 1842, but afterwards abandoned it. On the 17th
of June he made a speech in opposition to a BEL con-
nected wits some alteration of the Poor-law ; and it was
on that occasion that Sir James Graham produced the
report of Mr. Mott. Sir John Walsham had made his
report on the 9th, and made a most savage attack upon
Mr. Ferrand, imputing to him the most dishonourable
conduct, stating that in his capacity of chairman of the
union, and as a magistrate, he had done all he could to
create business for the attorneys, and that he had made
certain regulations for the purpose of creating new ex-
penses. He stated that there was not the slightest truth
in any of these charges—that they were most cruel and
unjust, and that he rose immediately after Sir James
Graham, and stated so. This debate took place on the
17th of June, when both Sir James Graham and Mr.
Lewis must have been in possession of Sir John \Val-
sham's report. The great complaints of Mr. Ferrand
up to the present time was, that although they were in
possession of many other reports at the time, Mr. Molts,
which cast upon him the grossest possible imputations,
was used. The affidavit concluded by stating that the
report of Mr. Mott was untrue, and that the committee
had so decided. He then read the affidavit of Mr.
Parker, stating that the statement of Mr. Ferranti
was correct; of Mr. Macdonald, the Times reporter, who
attended the committee on the Andover Union, con-
firming the evidence of Mr. Parker, and after comment-
ing on the material facts, he concluded by calling upon
the Court, under the circumstances, to discharge the
rule.
Mr. Boovinn followed on the same side. He dwelt
upon the fact that when Mr. Ferrand took the matter up
it had appeared in the Times, and although the appear-
ance of such a statement in a newspaper would be no
justification for a libel, it showed that Mr. Ferrand had
taken it up on public grounds, and that it had become
a public questicn, that no copy had been kept of the in-
structions given to Sir John Walsham in opposition to
the Poor-law Act ; that on the 17th of June,
when Mr. Mott's report was produced, that Mr.
Lewis had been the cause of all the injury
which Mr. Ferrand had sustained, and trusted the Court
would not make the rule absolute.
Sir F. THESIGER then addressed the Court in support
of the rule. He said he had listened with regret to the
speeches of his learned friends, because throughout the
whole of their addresses, they had done all in their
power to maintain the charges Mr. Ferrand had
made ; but he deeply and sincercely regretted that
Mr. Ferrand had not found some one calm enough to
advise him to adopt a different course than the one he
had adopted—not to add to the venom of the sting he
had inflicted, but to make some atonement for the injury
he had done to the character of Mr. Lewis. Now, it
appeared that Mr. Mott was not directed to visit the
union until the middle of March, 1842, at which time
Mr. Ferrand had not commenced his duties
as chairman until the 30th of March, and when he did
visit it, he did so in pursuance of an order from Mr.
Lewis, who was informed that many irregularities pre-
Tailed in the union. The practice and the act in
itself was perfectlyi legitimate, and the report, Mr.
Ferrand's common sense must tell him, was not of Mr.
Lewis, but for the Poor Law Commissioners to act upon
and they did act upon it, and issued the order which Mr:
Ferrand had sought to rescind, and when the matter was
before Sir James Graham, he did that which at once
showed that there was nothing at all to induce the belief
that he had embarked in a conspiracy to obtain a fabri-
cated repor, and that he had acted as an honourable
man occupying a high position in the Administration of
the affairs of the country, he suggested the propriety of
of sending Sir John Walsham to Keighley, 'who was in
its neighbourhood. Surely Mr. Ferrand must see
that this conduct on the part of Sir James
Graham was entirely opposed to anything
like a conspiracy. Mr. Ferrand had stated in his affi-
davit that the committee on Mr. Mott's report was not
an impartial one, and that those who voted in the majority
were supporters of the:Government. This was a matter of
which the Court could take no cognisance, and he only
mentioned it to show how sweepingaudindiscriminatewerc
the assertions of Mr. Ferrand. Then he stated that
Mr. Mott's report " was a false report, and that it was
backed by another false report" (Sir John Walsham's),
which would seem to infer that Sir John Walsham
had been also directed to furnish a fabricated
report, but the Committee held that the reports con-
firmed each other in all their material allegations, except
that some of the statements in Sir John Walsham's
report were too general, and required qualification.
Why this alone was sufficient to convince
any half-reasoned man that there was no con-
spiracy, for if there had been the reports would
no doubt have tallied to the letter. Then, again, ho
stated that he was prevented from exa,minine Mr.
Mott when he was before the Committee. . Very
great credulity was necessary to induce any one to
give credence to such a statement, because Mr.
Mott was called before the Committee, for the purpose of
being examined, and it was Mr. Ferrard's duty, as one
cf the Committee, to take a part in that investigation.
his Learned Friend talked of Mr. Ferrard's violent pas-
sions, but was it to be said, that because a man had a
violent temper that he was to be allowed to run his head
against any one he chose? At a meeting at Leeds he
made the statements with respect to the report, and
added that Sir James Graham had broken his tool, hut
the House of Commons subsequently voted the charge
" calumnious and false," or that the House of Commons
considered him a calumniator in this respect. Then the
letters referred to of Mr. Lewis's, and of which it was
urged copies should have been kept, partake more of the
nature of private and confidential than of public
documents. It was not a letter from the Poor-
law Commissioners, although the report which
arose out of it was ultimately presented to them.
What had been the conduct of Mr. Ferrand during the
whole of the years over which these transactions were
spread? Had he come forward and said, " I believed
at the time that there was a conspiracy, but, as I find I
am incorrect, I feel happy in making all the atone-
cr qr,t in my power for the charges I have made?"
No ; he had persevered in his gross imputations ; he
now persisted in them, and came forward to maintain
them, saying that he bore no malice to Mr. Lewis. Oh!
no ; but if his gentle nature could not be roused to any
violence, how could he so grossly libel Mr. Lewis so late as

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.
(THIS DAY.)
The November adjourned sessions for the county of
Middlesex commenced this morning, at the C:surt-house,
Clerkenwell-green, when the calendar presented the
names of seventy-one persons, sixty-two of whom were
charged with felony.
The Learned ASSISTANT JUDGE, in charging the
grand jury, said it was with regret that he felt compelled
again to allude to a subject which had long occupied his
attention, end which, he feared, must almost now be
more than familiar with the gentlemen of the grand
jury, he meant the more than usual number of
Juvenile criminals appearing in the calendar, in propor-
tion to the adults. Out of 71 cases to be brought before
the grand jury, no less than 24 were of children be-
tween the ages of nine and fourteen, and one or two
between that and seventeen. It was truly painful to
witness these cases ; and he sincerely hoped that next
session of Parliament would not be suffered to pass
away, without the attention of the Legislature being
directed to a subject of such deep import to the moral
welfare of society, as well as in a social point of view,
because it must be evident to every man of ordinary ob-
servation, that the alternate routine of thieving and im
prisonment, compelled by the present state of the law,
was neither a protection to property, an example to the
depraved, nor a means of reforming the criminal.
John James Underwood, a miserable-looking man,
about sixty years of age, pleaded guilty to an indict-
ment charging him with stealing a leather sling, value
2s. Gd., the property of the directors of the poor of St.
Pancras parish.
The prisoner, in extenuation of his offence, urged that
before he took the sling he had made several applica-
tions to the relieving officer for assistance, bnt without
effect, althorigh he told him that he was actually famish-
ing through hunger.
The Learned ASSISTANT•JUDOE said, under the cir-
cumstances, he should only sentence the prisoner to six
weeks' imprisonment.
Thomas Cosgrave was found Guilty of stealing a quan-

property of Thomas Littler.
The prosecutor, who seemed far advanced in years,
and described himself as a merchant-tailor, said he met
the prisoner, on the morning of the 17th instant, about
two o'clock, and after talkins, to him for a short time in
a hall, into which he said she forced him, he missed his
watch, which was subsequently found upon the prisoner.
The jury returned a verdict of Guilty, and
The Learned ASSISTANT-JUDGE said as it appeared
that the prisoner had been convicted of s similar offence
about eight months ago, he should now sentence her to
be transported for ten years.

.
SPIRITS.—A further increase has taken place in the
deliveries of Rum, and the stock is yet deficient of that of
last year; and this is still cheaper than any other spirit.
Jamaica Rum has been purchased with more freedom, and
brought prices fully equal to those of last Tuesday. Prices
are firm kr Leeward Island, but the supply has become in-
adequate for the demand. Calcutta is wanted, and but little
is to be had out of first hands. Demerara has been sold to a
fair extent, and at firm prices. Brandy is not to be obtained
upon lower terms, as the deliveries continue large, and the
stock on the decrease. For British made Spirits the demand
is still as extensive as ever, and prices are firm.
Hors.—ln Sussex the operations have been upon a more
extended scale, but factors have been compelled to accept
previous reduced rates. All other sorts met with little atten-
tion, and there are free sellers upon former low prices.
SALTPETRE.—HoIders have refused to submit to any fur-
ther reduction in prices, but the home and export demand at
present is limited for all qualities, and 600 bags of Calcutta
at auction were sold at the previous currency, and went at
25s for middling grey 10 per cent.; 25s 6d, 26s for good
yellowish 6 per cent, and at 21s 6d to 22s for sugar damaged.
A brisker demand for all kinds, it is expected, will take place
shortly. British Refined is still in excellent request at
2956 d to 30s. Nitrate of Soda is wanted at 17s 6d to 183
per cwt.
Oft.s.—Cocoa Nut has met with attention, and brought
prices fully equal to those previously current. In Palm
there has been little passing privately, and prices are falling.
For Linseed Oil further reduced rates have been accepted
with caution. In Rape Seed Oil many purchases have
been made, but better prices are not obtainable.
In Olive only a limited business has been transacted, and
lower rates have bean accepted. Cod is offered upon rather
lower terms; still only a limited business has been trans-
acted. Seal has been sparingly dealt in, and prices tend
downwards. In Sperm few purchases have been made,
and holders are desirous to sell, good and fine British at
851 to 88/, and American at 841 to 861 per tnn. Lard Oil
moves off slowly at 87l to 441 per cwt.
TALLOW.—Although the town and country trade have
been large operators in Russian Tallow on the spot, still a
further decline in prices has taken place, 47s 9d to 48s 3d
per cwt being accepted for fine Petersburgh yellow Candle,
and at which there are willing sellers. For delivery up to
the end of the year few buyers are to be met with,
although 47s 6d to 47s 9d would be taken. There are
sellers for spring months at 48s. 3d to 48s 6d, but few
contracts have been entered into. Home made Tallow sells
freely at 49s to 50s nett cash, but having a plentiful supply
there are ready sellers at those rates. Of other sorts of Tal-
low several parcels have been disposed of privately, but at
rather lower prices; at auction 76 csks of Australian sold,
good at 47s to 47s Gd, middling 43s Gd to 46s 6d ; 91 csks
first sort P. Y. Candle were taken in at 48s, and 10 hhds
New York 48s 6d per cwt. There are further arrivals of
Tallow. Prices are still higher than last year.

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL, applied to have the rule
in this case enlarged, on the ground that the defendant
required time to obtain affidavits from France and other
places which were necessary for the proper hearing of the
ease. The rule was obtained on the 11th of June, last term,
but it appeared that notice was not served upon the de-
fendant until the 7th of August.
Sir F. THESIGER opposed the application, on the
ground that the defendant had had ample time to obtain
all the affidavits he might require. lle might even
have obtained affidavits from India.

Annum.

In this cause, in which in the early part of the dly
Mr. Chambers obtained a rule for a nonsuit and arrest of
judgment,
Mr. MARTIN moved, pursuant to leave given him at
the trial, for a rule to show cause IN hy the amount of the
penalties should not be increased from one shilling
on each sack of coals that were found deficient
in weight to five pounds, that being the maxi-
mum penalty affixed by the Act of 1 and 2 Will.
IV., and also why the verdict for ten pounds on send-
ing out an improper ticket with the coals should not be
increased to twenty pounds,lthe maximum penalty int-
posed,by the let and 2d Victoria. This rule was sought in
order to raise the question whether the Court ought not
at the trial to have fixed the amount of the several
penalties, instead of leaving the question to be decided
by the jury.—Rule granted.

IN FOR3I ATION.

This case, the particulars of which must be fresh in
the recollection of our readers, came on this morning
for argument. The rule was obtained on the first day
of term, and called upon Mr. Ferrand to show cause
why a criminal information should not be filed against
him for the publication of two letters in the Times, on
the Bth and 10th of August last, which charged Mr.
Lewis with having connived, with Sir James Graham,
in order to obtain from Mr. Mott, an Assistant-Poor-law
Commissioner, a false report with respect to the
Keighley Union, for the purpose of injuring his
character, and crushing him as a Member of the House
of Commons, Mr. Ferrand being the chairman of the
board of guardians of the union.
Mr. Ferrand was present, and occupied a seat next
his counsel.
Mr. MARTIN, showed cause against the rule.
He said in the summer of last year a Committee
was appointed by the Howe of Commons to in-
vestigate certain charges which had been made
with respect to the management of the Andover Union.
It was during the sittings of this Committee that the
two letters complained of appeared in the Times. Re-
ports of the evidence adduced before the Committee ap-
peared from day to day in the newspapers, and thus
came under the notice of Mr. Ferrand. A few days be-
' fore the first letter was written a Mr. Parker, who had
'been on a Government Poor-law Commission, but who
:bad been dismissed on account of some proceedings
with respect to the Andover Union, and Mr. Chadwick,
who held the office of Secretary to the Commissioners,
were examined before this Committee. The first letter
was written by Mr. Ferrand on reading a report of the
evidence given by these gentlemen. (The Learned
Counsel then read the letter, which stated that he (Mr.
Ferrand) had been unable to attend his Parlia-
mentary duties on account of indisposition, but
'that he had watched the proceedings of the
Andover Committee with the most intense interest,
'and that the feelings of every Hon. Member of the
House of Commons must revolt at the evidence ad-
*feed before the Committee on the preceding Saturday,
'as it was distinctly proved that part of the statement
-made in the House of Commons by Sir James Graham,
-reflecting severely on his conduct, was false. Further
disclosures were prevented by the chairman requesting
'Mr. Parker to confine his answers to the matter before
the Committee ; and when further observations with
respect to the Keighley union were made, Mr. Manners
Button ordered the room to be cleared. The letter went
on to state that he should prove that Mr. Mott was
merelyl.t.hen tool of Mr. Lewis, that the whole business

From these letters it appeared
that Mr. Lewis
was charged with having assisted in getting are
made by Mr. Mott which contained falsemit port
and that, knowing them to be false, he delivaetereTnts,
report to Sir James Graham, to be used by him in the
place in the House of Commons, and that the report was
so used.
Sir FREDERICK TIIESIGER said that was not all. His
Learned Friend should read the last passage.

MARLBRO'-STREET.—(THIS DAY.)
George Smith and F. S. Breewood were charged with
riot and assault in the coffee-house, 265, Oxford-street.
James Stewart, the proprietor of the coffee-house,
said the two prisoners and some others came into his
house about half-past three o'clock, and ordered coffee
and bread and butter and cheroots for six. Complainant,
on their receiving these articles, asked for payment.
Smith, the defendant, said "that's the payment I'll give
' you," and threw the contents of a cup of coffee into his
' (complainant's) face. Complainant struck him a back
stroke in the face, got up on the seat and collared Smith,
and Breewood then dealt him several severe blows about
the head. Complainant went out and called the police,
and when he returned he found the defendants in con-
flict with his waiter. The prisoner Breewood struck
witness in the chest. They were given into custody,
and in the struggle several articles of crockery-ware:and
the glass in the door were smashed to pieces, to the
amount of 10/. in value.
Several witnesses were called, who corroborated his
evidence.
The prisoners denied the charge, and called a witness,
who, on the testimony of the police, was more violent
than any present, and would have been taken into cus-
tody had there been force enough.
Mr. LONG said they.must pay 40s. each for the assault
or go one month to the House of Correction.
Michael Connor, Mary Slater, and Pat Ilannan, were
charged with assault in the Victoria public-house, Castle-
street, Oxford-street.
John Williams, being sworn, said, the three prisoners
and some others came into his father's house, the
Victoria, last night about half-past eleven o'clock, and
called for a pint of rum. His father refused to serve
them. They told him if he would serve them they
would go out quietly, otherwise they would not go out
of the house. He then drew a pint of ruin, and, holding
it in his hand, asked for the payment. Connor snatched
the measure out of his hand and drank off half the con-
tents; the female then had it, and drank the rest. His
father again asked for payment. Connor then struck
the landlord on the breast with the measure, and
parties went out and gave Connor into custody of a
policeman. The female at this time seized a pewter
measure off the bar and threw it at witness's mother,
whom it struck in the chest; she threw a two-quart jug
and a quart pewter pot at her. This done, she smashed
taro gas glasses and set the taps runeing. She then
went up and assaulted the barmaid, scratching her face,
and tearing off her hair by handfuls.
Elizabeth Jones, the barmaid, said she had been eleven
years in the same house, and on the night in question
the prisoners came in arid acted as had been stated. She
then took off her bonnet by desire of the Court, and ex-
hibited the one side of her head almost as bare as the
palm of the hand, contrasting strangely with the other
side, which was well covered with hair.
Police-constable E 118 said he took Connor into cus-
tody, and the other male prisoner, with the female, came
out and rescued him, and took him into the public-house
again. The constable followed, and was struck by the
defendant Hannan when proceeding to take Connor
again into custody.
Mr. Loso said, Connor, for the assault on Mr. Wil-
liams, must pay 405., or go one month to the House of
-Correction ; Hannan, for assaulting the policeman, 405.,
or one month's imprisonment ; but the female, for this
brutal and horrible assault on the barmaid, must pay 51.,
or go two months to the House of Correction.

COMMON PLEAS.—(THIS DAY.)
Their Lordships gave judgment this morning in the
following cases:—

IHE ATTEMPTED MURDER AT ISLINGTON.
Clerkenwell Police-court, yesterday, George lirj
alias George Smith, was brought before Mr. G
wood for further examination; charged with havin,
tempted to murder Mrs. Susannah Haines, the wife o
Mr. James Haines, plumber and glazier, of Paradise.
terrac-, Liverpool-road, Islington. Mr. Greenwood in.
quired as to the present state of Mrs. Haines, or whether
the officer had brought a surgeon's certificate ? Ser-
geant Howard, 22 N, produced a certificate from Mr.
Haines, surgeon, of the Liverpool-road, purporting that
the injured woman was still confined to her bed in a bad
state, and it would be unsafe for her to attend at the
Court in less than a week. Mr. Greenwood, addressing
the prisoner, said it was not necessary for him to require
the attendance of illfs4 Haines, as they had already
taken down her deposition ; but if she should die, the
charge will be a very serious one. He should, therefore,
remand the prisoner for another week.

LOVE AND SUICIDE.—On Monday between one and
two o'clock, Ellis Ring, aged twenty-one, servant out of
employ, was admitted into the Charing-cross Hospital,
under the following circumstances : She was a few
weeks Ago in a situation in the neighbourhood of Wal-
worth, where she formed an attachment to a young man
who promised to marry her, and on whose account she
is alleged to have left her place, She went to lodge
with some friends at No. 9, Duke-street, Adelphi, when
her stiltdf failed to keep his appointments to meet her
upon several occasions, and she became so melancholy u
to excite the attention of her friends. On Monday morn-
ing she went out in an unusually cheerful manner, and
returned almost immediately, exhibiting symptoms of
illness; it being suspected that she had taken poison,
she was removed to the above institution, where she was
at one pronounced to be labouring under the effects of
some deleterious potion, and she expired in about an
hour after her admission.
PATAL VAN AootnEmr.—Yesterday Mr. Payne
held an inquest at St. Bartholomew's Hospital on Mrs.
Caroline Thomas, aged thirty years, the wife of a
copperplate-printer, residing in Dorrington-street,
Clerkenwell. On Friday last, about eleven o'clock in
the morning, deceased was crossing Warner-street, when
she csrce in contact with a van drawn by one horse. and
heavily laden. She was knocked down, and fell under
the hind Off wheel Her body completely " scotched"
the wheel, and she was pushed along the road for up-
wards of twenty yards. She expired almost immediately.
A great number of witncs3es were examined, but it ap-
peared that the driver, who is in custody, used his en-
deavours to stop the horse, but ineffectually. The house
surgeon said dcct,ascrl died from the irjues, having caused
an effusion of blood in the abdomen. 'Verdict—Acci-
dental death.

GIBBS AND ANOTHER V. FLIGHT AND ANOTHER.

Mr. Justice CoL'rai&N delivered the judgment of the
Court in this well-known case. This was an action in
trover brought against the defendants for the detention
of certain books alleged to belong to the plaintiffs as the
churchwardens of the parish of Walbrook. The de-
fendants were two of the rate-payers of the said parish,
who disputed the legality of the election of the plaintiff's.
The principal point raised by the case, which now came
before the Court in the shape of demurrer, which had
been argued in a previous term, was, whether the
plaintiff's were the churchwardens of the said parish on
the 12th of April, 1844, or in other terms, whether the
re-election of Mr. Alderman Gibbs on that day was valid
or not, he having beenjunior churchwarden, the year beforr.
By the custom of the parish, there were two church.
wardens elected every year from the body of the parish-
ioners, and the select vestry was made up of the past
and present churchwardens so elected. It was stated in
the records of the parish that from the year 1648 b
1734 one churchwarden was elected every year, in the
manner before described, and such churchwarden was
junior churchwarden for that year, and became senior
churchwarden for the next. This was so during the
above period, with the exception of from 1660 to 1672,
which was immaterial to the case, and this was the
period of the great fire of London. From 1734 to 1775,
and from thence to 1824, the order of proceed•
ings was the same, with but four exceptions.
The mode of election named must, therefore,
be pronounced to be the custom of the parish. The
succession of junior churchwarden to the office of senior
churchwarden would, therefore, be stopped, if that office
was allowed to remain in the possession of one person
for many years ; and the number of the select vestry
would also be reduced so as to be ineffectual for useful
purposes. The decision of the Court, therefore, was,
that the re-election of Mr. Alderman Gibbs to the office
of senior churchwarden, on the day in question, was not
valid, and that a nonsuit must be entered. In giving
this judgment, his Lordship said his brethren, Mr.
Justice Maisie, Mr. Justice Cresswell, and Mr. Justice
Erle, concurred.
