SMITHFIELD MARKET

This day's supply was rather limited, and chiefly of inferior
quality. The trade with each kind of meat was dull at Mon-
day's quotations. Mitch Cows, though rather numerous, fully
supported their last week's prices, a useful Short-horns, with
her small Calf, producing from 171. to 201

MARLBORO UGH-STREET.

A gentleman connected with the firm of Burnard
and Co., Paternoster-row, silversmiths, came yes-
terday before Mr. CHAMBERS, to a'certain if lie
could not adopt measures against Mr. Wm. Barnes,
the jeweller (recently committed for the possession
of a 50/. bank-note, under very extraordinary cir-
cumstances), for having obtained from the firm a
large quantity of sill'.'er plate, under representations
which were assumed to be of a questionable cha-
racter. The applicant said, that Mr. Barnes had
called at his warehouse, and had requested a variety
of articles of silver plate to be furnished on appro-
bation to him, which plate, from the very respectable
character Mr. Barnes bore in the trade, was sent in
without any hesitation.
Mr. CHAMBERS, in reply to the application, said
he had taken some pains to look into the Act of
Parliament on the subject, as he suspected that ap-
plications of this description were not unlikely to
be made to him. He had found in the Act, that it
was necessary for the applicants to prove the fact,
that such property bad been unlawfully obtained.
Now it appeared, in this instance, that the goods
had been supplied to Mr. Barnes, without any proof
of such unlawful mode of obtaining them.
The applicant replied, that the goods were cer-
tainly furnished to Mr. Barnes according to the
usual custom of the trade ; that Mr. Barnes bad
sent a written order for a certain description of goods,
which he stated were wanted for selection by a lady
who intended to send them to India ; but these
goods, within an hour or so of the delivery at his
house, had been pawned, as could be proved by a
reference to the duplicates found in the maid-ser-
vant's box.

Mr. CHAMBERS answered, that the duplicates
showed the property had not been pledged by Mr.
Barnes.

The applicant observed, that he had applied to

the pawnbrokers who had the property in. pledge,
with the request to be allowed to inspect the ar-
ticles, for the purpose of identifying some of them,
as it was in contemplation to found a separate in-
dictment on this matter; but the pawnbrokers had
absolutely refused to allow the goods to be in-
spected. One of them had received four new silver
coffee-pots in pledge in one day.
Mr. CHAMBERS recommended the applicant to let
_ . _ . . _

this subject rest until the result of the prosecution
of Mr. Barnes on the offence for which he stood
committed was ascertained. The best course would
be for the applicant to give the pawnbrokers notice
not to part with the property, but to wait and see
if a conviction occurred.

The applicant thanked the Magistrate for his
suggestion, and remarked that he had been legally
advised to make the present application.
It may be proper to state, in order to prevent
undue prejudice in this very singular case, that the
above application, as well as all the previous exa-
minations and statements, are of an car park cha-
racter. The olject of wit attempting any defence
to the charge at present is understood to be for the
purpose of preventing the nature of the defence from
publicly transpiring.

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

The Orestes sloop of war has arrived at Portsmouth
from Oporto—left on the 18th inst., by which conveyance
letters have been received from Oporto of the 17th inst.,
at which period all was tranquil there. There are also
letters from Lisbon, but the dates we have not as yet ascer-
tained.

Accounts have been received from India this morning,
which have brought the unfavourable information that six
Indiamen were driven on shore, in Bengal river, on the
2d June, in a hurricane.

Madras papers have been received at the North and
South American Coffee-house, to the 26th May.
(From the Madras Papers.)
It was some time ago very confidently reported that
Madras would be honoured with the arrival of the
Governor General. That the rumour had every founda-
tion is not denied; but it subsequently appeared that his
Lordship abandoned his intention of visiting the Presi-
dency—circumstances, perhaps, not having been considered
of such an important nature as to require his immediate
presence. Con.iderable difficulty, however, we believe, is
still experienced in bringing matters connected with the
Government of Mysore to a satisfactory conclusion, and
if the aspect of affairs should not speedily become more
favourable to a final settlement, we understand, from good
authority, that his Lordship intends leaving Calcutta for
Madras, in August.
Again we have to announce the distressing intelligence
of further commercial failures. Messrs. C. Ivin and Co.
have this day placed their affairs in the hands of the In-
solvent Court. The statement of their estate is not yet
obtained.

By the French mail this morning we learn that the
English steamer, Meteor, was still at Ancona, on the 14th
of Sept. We have also a confirmation of the terrible fire
at Constantinople, which broke out on the night of the
30th; and on the 31st, at the departure of the steamer, it
was still raging with the greatest violence.

G UILDHALL.

Yesterday a city policeman, named Stanton, ap-
peared to answer a charge of having rescued a felon
from the custody of Thomas Tipper, a policeman of
the F division. Tipper having apprehended two
men in Fleet-street on a charge of stealing a hand-
kerchief, the city officer then came up and said the
metropolitan officer had no authority, and by his
interference he enabled one of the prisoners to escape.
Stanton denied this statement, and said that he
merely went up to assist Tipper, in consequence of
there being a crowd; but Tipper wanted to have the
honour of securing two thieves single-handed.
Sir J.KEY referred the case to a police committee.
QUEEN- SQUARE.

Yesterday Mr. Samuel Pope, coal-merchsnt, of
Abbey-wharf, Little Abingdon-street, renewed his
application for a peace warrant against Mr. Cham-
bers, the Magistrate of Marlborough-street, for
having threatened to run his umbrella through his
thick skull. Mr. Pope had written to Lord Mel-
bourne on the subject, but his Lordship declined to
interfere. He now wanted a peace warrant against
Mr. Chambers, as he expected to meet him at the
Bankruptcy Court on the ensuing day, and he
should have to put questions to him respecting some
commercial transactions, when he; feared Mr. Cham-
bers might carry his threat of violence into execu-
tion. The Magistrates, however, refused to grant
the warrant.

KIRKALDY RACES.

Our races commenced on the 9th, and the sport wa
such as to gratify all. Although we have been present a
many racing meetings %se have seldom seen any, of a loca
nature, more numerously and fashionably attended. Th
whole of the line of the rising ground, along the beach
for more than a mile, was crowded with carriages of almost
every description, and equestrians awl pedestrians of all
ages and sexes. There could not be fewer than 10,000
spectators on Thursday. On Friday, however, the attend-
ance was not so numerous. Among the Nobility and
Gentry present were observed the Earl and Countess of
Bathes, Lord Loughborough, Lady Emma Wemyss and
the lion. Captain Hay, Colonel and Lady Isabella Wemyss,
the Hon. Frederick and James Bruce, Sir John and Lady
Oswald and family, General Balfiur, Lady, and family.
Sir Robert Mowbray, James Balfour, E.q , M.P., and
the Misses Balfour, John Pratt, Esq., of Glentarkie, &c.
The Judges were General Balfour, Captain Rhind, and
H Fergus, Esq , and their office was no sinecure, for
several protests were taken and objections raised ; but the
promptitude of their decisions, we understand, gave gene-
ral satisfaction. We feel convinced, from the eclat with
which these have gone off, that next season a still better
turn-out and increased amusement will follow as natural
consequences.—Fifeshire Journal.

lIUN TIN G APPOINTMENTS.
The Brighton hairier, will take the field regularly
thrice a week. The regular appointments have not been
made, but the harriers have then out several times, draw-
ing the covers, and on more than one occasion afforded
good sport. On Monday they found three hares, each of
which led the hounds at a brisk pace for about half an
hour, but were ultimately captured. The pack is is fine
condition. Hares are plentiful ; and should the weather
prove favourable, nothing can well retard the sport.

It is said that the west end of the town was
never so absolutely forsaken as it is at this time at any
period during the present century.

BOROUGH OF DUDLEY-SIR JOlll4
London, England, 1833-09-27

WARE RACES, BER TS, Sirr. 21.

The First Meeting at this place came off on this day,
and the success was so great that it is intended to establish
two Meetings in each year.
The following is an account of the sport :
Mr. Bond's Baronet
Mr. Giflin's Lady Louisa
I I st. lOlbs. Once round and a distance.

Baronet took the lead, closely followed by Louisa until
within a few yards of the distance, when Louisa passed
hies ; but Bironet (who was cleverly jockeyed by Mr.
Cates) regained his position, and won by two lenghts.
The Town Stakes. Ilst. 10Ib. Twice round and a die.
Mr. J. C. Allan's Telescope
Mr. John Batty's Archibald
Mr. W. White's Vestries
Mr. W. Carter's Pilot
Mr. Houchin's Misfortune 5
Mr. Judson's Rajah
Mr. Williamson's Belshazzar 7
Mr. Lockhart's Sprightly
Mr. Evennett's Lady Emily

Telescope (who carried '7lb. extra, from winning the
Hatfield cup) took the lead, and, without being
once passed, carried off the stakes, by at least tines
lengths.

Mr. Cass's King William agst Mr. Hobbs's Sultan.
King William • 1
Sultan

Any weight. Gentlemen riders. This was a sharp
race. King William took the lead, but was several times
passed by Sultan, and, after a severe contest, the latter was
beaten by only half a head. King William was rode in
excellent style by his owner, who is both deaf and dumb.
Stveral pony races followed, and created much amuse-
ment.
London, England, 1833-09-27

UNION- HALL.

Yesterday John Bowler, an old man of seventy,
was brought up by the parish officets of Lambeth,
to show cause why he should not maintain an ille-
gitimate child, of which a young woman said he
was the father. It appeared on investigation, that
the young woman had cohabited with a young man,
and therefore the old man thought. it was not fair
to fix him with all the cost. " However," said he,
" go halves; I'll pay 2s. per week towards the
maintenance of the child."

The young woman declared the old man was the
father. " A good joke," said she, "to suppose I
don't know who's the father of my little un."

Under these circumstances, the old man was ad-
judged the father. He did not appear much vexed
at the decision.

THE COUNTRY GENTLEMAN.—What an
enviable situation is that of a great country gentleman in
this beautiful little garden of England ! lie may unite all
the happiest opposites—indolence anti occupation, health-
ful exercise and literary studies. In London, and in
public life, we may improve the world, we may benefit
our kind ; but we never see the effect we produce, we get
no gratitude for them ; others step in and snatch the re -
wards; but in the country, if you exert equal industry
and skill, you cannot walk out of your hall but what you
see the evidence of your labours. Nature smiles in your
face anti thanks you ; yon trees you planted ; yon corn-
,i-Ids were a common; your capital called them into ex-
istence ; they now feed a thousand mouths where ten
years ago they scarce maintained stuna half a dozen
starveing cows; but above all, as you ride through your
village, what satisfaction creeps around your heart By
half that attention to the administration of the poor laws
which in London you gave to your Clubs you have made
industry replace sloth, anti comfort dethrone pauperism.
You, a single individual, have done more for your fellow-
creatures than the whole Legislature has done in centu-
ries. This is the true power ; it approaches men to Coati ;
but the country Gentleman often refuses to acknowledge
this power ; he thinks much more of a certificate for
killing partridges !—England and the English.

BANKRUPTCY COURT, SEPT. 26.

CAMPBELL AND MACDONALD'S BANKRUPTCY.
A meeting of the creditors under the fiat of,
bankruptcy awarded against Messrs. Campbell and
Macdonald, army agents, was held in Mr. Commie
sinner Evmsrs's room, convened by the assignees for
the purpose of considering various matters for the
benefit of the creditors.
The propositions brought before the meeting
were the assenting to, or dissenting from, a Pr°P;
sition for selling by public auction or private
c
Aden
tract all or any of the poiicies of insurance
on the life of the bankrupt, Mr. A. Campbell, 84.;,
but it being considered necessa to consult.
Campbell before ultimate proceedings were OP"
the decision of the question was postponed. nr
Some further debts have been proved, tra",;,-t;
the total of proofs and claims against the 01-gt
nearly 100,0001. No idea has yet been formed W"-
dividend will be paid upon the joint estate.
(Before Mr. C ormissioner FANE.)
PLOWRIGHT AND BOND'S BANKRUPTCY.
A meeting of the creditors under the fiat
against these bankrupts, who carried on an exteali'd
business us linen-drapers, &c., at the cornet Id
Stamford-street, Blackfriars-road, was also he
to-day.
The debts of the firm are at present estimated
about 18,0001., and the dividend is expected to v"
about ss. or 6s. in the pound.
IMPORTANT DECISION REGARDING BILLS (5/1
EXCHANGE.
A proof was tendered for 2501. on bills of er,
change obtained under the following circuit?
stances :
Mr. JONEs said he hal some questions to subnii/
for the consideration of the Commissioners vihic"h
he considered of great importance as regarded the
negotiation of bills of exchange. The bills, for the
amount of which proof was requested, had, he v/51,
informed, been sold in the Exchange at Hanshara
for a much less sum than they were drawn for'
He considered, therefore, that the holder of the
bills could only prove for the amount he had given
for them. Ile wished to have the opinion of tile
Commissioners on this point, it being one of it
portance.
The COMMISSIONER stated the bills had been i°
circulation. The first holder having given full value '
for them would, if be had held them, be entitled ti°,
claim in full. If the holder bad sold them for ha"
value as a bad debt the party now holding them was
clearly entitled to prove for the full amount.
Mr. JONES said if that was the Commissioner
opinion he must submit to it. There was also an-
other question he had to put. A bill was tendered
for proof which was drawn in anticipation of sales
of goods made in Hamburg to the bankrupts, but
which had been stopped in transitu when it 045
known the bankrupts had failed.
The COMMISSIONER said the proof must be Bi"
lowed, and the parties stopping the goods compelled
to forward them.

MESSAGE FROM THE COMMONS.

Mr. BEitNAL, and other Alembers of the House of
Commons, brought up the Merchints' Service Appren-
tices Bill.

AGRICULTURAL LABOURERS' RATE BILL.

The Duke of RICHMOND moved the third reading of
this Bill.

The Marquis of SALISBURY objected to the clause
introduced into the Bill by the Bishop of London, which
he trusted the Right Rev. Prelate would withdraw, as he
felt convinced its provisions could never be carried into
effect.

The Bishop of LONDON could never consent to do the
suicidal act of strangling his OWFI offspring.
Lord WYNFORD did not wish to press any formal
objections to the Bill, but he still considered it most unjust.
. . . . .

After some observations from the Bishop cf LONDON, the
Duke of RICHMOND, and the Marquis of BUTE, the Bill
was read a third time and passed.
The Bills on the table were then forwarded a stage,
and the House adjourned.
London, England, 1833-07-11

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
We have no accounts this morning of the least importance,
consequently we are very dull in the City, which causes the
funds to be stagnant. Mr. O'Connell's motion in the Com.
mons this evening is looked for with some interest.

Consols opened at the price they left off, ;0 % 4 for Ac.
count. Nothing doing as yet.

HALF-PAST ONE.

A report prevails that the French Government have made
some demonstrations in respect to the Carlist General, Bour-
mont, going to take the command of Don Miguel's army.
An opinion prevails that Don Miguel, on receiving the
Intelligence of his brother's expedition having landed in the
Algarves, will make a grand attack on Oporto before he dis-
patches a reinforcement to Lisbon.

Consols have been during the morning at 90 ;,!., to M for the
account with little or nothing doing.

The Dutch Funds come considerably higher by the mail,
49 y 2 ; 5 per Cents. 92.

In the Foreign Market Portuguese Scrip experienced a fall,
and was done at 2 per Cent. At present it is 1 % to 2.

THREE O'CLOCK.
Consols for the Account, 90 h.

Hors.--In the north day district (East
Retford) the hops are doing as well as they were ever
known to do. The plant has not received any dangerous check
rum the late weather. The buds are now ready to burst into
blossom, and there is little or no accumulation of filth.
In Hereford the appearance of the hop-yards is very satis-
factory ; the rains have been beneficial, and the fly is little
heard of. The high winds have certainly ruffled the
plants, but not to any great extent.

Covent-garden market at present commences
on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, about 3 o'clock
in the morning, when the crowd is extreme, and the sight
one, perhaps, of the most extraordinary in London. About
eight o'clock the market-gartlei,ers finish their business,
and the huxters then occupy their places.
London, England, 1833-07-11

not object to the establishing of a fourth presidency ; but
he thought there was danger in granting furthkr power to
the Governor General, and the danger was,it miPlit weaken
other presidencies.

The Bill was then read a second time, and ordered to
be committed on Friday morning next.
BURGLARY BILL.

Mr. EWART moved the second reading of this Bill.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL thought it would be
better to allow further time, in order to complete the mea-
sure, and define more properly the crime of grand burglary.
He therefore objected to the second reading of the Bill,
and hoped that it would be allowed to stand over until the
next session, when he promised his co—operation to perfect
the measure.

A short conversation took place as to the propriety
of deferring the measure until the next session.
Mr. AGLIONBY suggested that the Bill should be
allowed to be read a second time, and afterwards referred
to a Select Committee.

Mr. EWART consented to the suggestion.
The Bill was then read a second time, and ordered to
be referred to a Select Committee. The Committee was
appointed.
IMPRISONMENT FOR DEBT BILL.

The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said, that in conse-
quence of what had recently occurred in another place, he
did not feel himself in a situation to press this Bill to
Committee, because the Judges under the Local Courts
Bill, were to have carried the provisions of his Bill into
effect. But he hoped that he should be enabled to make
an arrangement, by which the Commissioners of bankrupts
might enforce the provisions of his Bill. Under these
circumstances he would move that the Committee on the
Bill be postponed till Wednesday next.
The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and
the House adjourned at a quarter to two o'clock.

DUTCH PAPERS.

Ting HAGUE, JULY B.—Their Excellencies, Baron
Veratolk Van Soelen, and M. Dedel, set out this morning
for London.

His M,jesty, by a resolution of the 24th of June, has
approved of some measures for the further execution and
improvement of the Great Canal of North Holland. Part
of the works will be completed in the year 1833, and
another part in 1834.

On the 6th, in the morning, a salute of 101 gun: an-
nounced to the inhabitants of this town that her Royal
Highness, Princess Frederick of the Netherlands, hid been
happily delivered of a Prince. Flags were immediately
hoisted on all the public offices and the houses of many of
the citizens, and in the evening the Town Hall, and many
private houses, were illuminated. Her Royal Highness
and the young Prince are doing well.
In consequence of the measures lately adopted of grant-
ing indefinite furloughs to a great part of our troops, the
war department has resolved to suspend the former plan
of granting two months' furloughs, and has given notice
that those to whom such have been granted, are to be
considered as having furloughs for an unlimited time.
A letter from Zealand of the 7th instant says, that the
defensive works that have been thrown up in the country
in the 4th and sth districts of that province are to be
demolished, and that the owners of the land on which
they were erected are to be indemnified.
Letters from Curacoa of the I 1 tb May say,—" We
have not heard that any hostilities have been committed
by English or French men-of-war in those seas on Dutch
vessels. An English corvette has twice lain to before
our harbour, when it sent a boat on shore, with expres-
sions of regret at the suspension of the friendly relations
between the two countries. The shipowners belonging to
the island have, however, for the sake of security, assumed
the Columbian flag."
An official account has been published by the States of
Groningen, of the damage done by the fire in the tut f moors.
2,173,692 tons of turf were burnt, together with '76
houses, a mill, 7 ships, two bridges, &c. &c. And the
corn, potatoes, &c., on more tban 130 acres of land
destroyed. The amount of the injury is estimated at
about 180,000 florins.

It seems that several travellers wishing to go to France,
thought they would pass through Belgium, but at present
this is not permitted. The nearest way is either by C!eves
and Aix•la Chapelle, or direct from Rotterdam to
Dunkirk.

All the men of the levies of 1826, 1827, and 1828,
who were to be discharged in time of peace, are sent
home with unlimited furloughs.

HOUSE OF COMMONS, Juir 10.

Mr. STEALER resumed his seat at ten minutes past five
o'clock.

Mr. HALCOMB presented a petition from the inha-
bitants of Coventry relative to the last election. The
Hon. Gentleman stated, that upon this petition he in-
tended to found a motion respecting the conduct of the
Sheriffs.

Mr. ELLICE said he thought the more consistent way
would have been for the Hon. Gentleman to have left the
matter in the bands of the Committee, or of the Chair.
man of the Committee to whom it had been referred.
The petition was ordered to lie on the table.

Mr. HALCOMB gave notice that on Thursday, the
lath inst., he would move that the sheriffs of the county
and city of Coventry be ordered to attend at the bar of the
House, to be dealt with as the House might be pleased to
direct for their misconduct at the last general election, as it
appeared by the evidence taken before the Committee. Also
that the Attorney-General should be ordered to prosecute
Robert Randall for inciting to riot at the election,by which
many of the electors were severely beaten and prevented from
voting. Likewise that the sheriffs be ordered to furnish a
copy of any and what appointment of Robert Randall to offict
under the sheriffs, and the date thereof.

Lord ORAIELIE presented three petitions from the
county of Perth, against the Clackmannan Road Bill.

Lord G. SOMERSET complained of the present
system of proceeding with the business of the House, there
were a great number of orders of the dav, and the Noble
Lord by shifting about and chopping and changing, pre-
vented Members from knowing what business was actually
to be proceeded with.

Lord ALTHORP was understood to say that the ar-
rangements that had been made were for the purpose of
forwarding the most important business that was before
the House.

ROLLS COURT-(THIS DAY.)

His Honour the ''ILSTER of the ROLLS sat at Westminster
at eleven o'clock to-day, and proceeded with petitions, upwards
of 60 of which are set down for hearing before his Honour. At
the time our reporter left nothing of any public interest had
been heard.

VICE-CHANCERY COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

MONTGOMERY V. CALLAND.
His Honour the VICE-CHANCELLOR gave judgment this
morning in this case, in which the bill was filed for the pur-
pose of redeeming a mortgage of certain copyhold tene-
ments made to a lady named Lewis, the defendant Mr.
lland insisting that he was entitled to the equity of redemp-
tion of the property in question. His Honour was clearly of
opinion the defence was not available, and decreed for the re-
demption asked by the plaintiff.
London, England, 1833-05-23

INJUNCTION.-LAW V. HARDING.

Mr. Wsecox applied for an injunction in this case, to re.
strain the defendant from pulling down a party wall. From
the statements of the Learned Counsel it appeared that a lady
of the name of Shepherd, the ancester of the present plaintiff,
was the owner of two houses in High street, Barnstaple ;
the year 1810 she sold one of them to the person through whom
the defendant claimed, with an exception in the conveyance of
liberty to herself, her heirs and assigns, or the owner of the ad-
joining house, to rest any beams or joists on the northern
wall—the wall which the defendant had threatened to pull
down. The father of the plaintiff had built a very valuable
house upon the premises, and the consequencf. of putting the
defendant's threat into execution would be to pull down one
end of the house, and place the whole of it in great danger.
The present application was made in consequence of a notice
received by the plaintiff, of the intention of the defendant to
pull down the wall in question on the 2lst of the present month.
The VICE-CIIANCELLOR—You may take the injunction; but
lam very much afraid the mischief is already done. You
should have come to the Court earlier.

FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE.
London, England, 1833-05-23

different parts of Devonshire, against, slavery ; also pet',
.ion from thre, parishes in Devon, for an equitable com-
mutation of tithes.
The NOBLE LORD alsn presented petitions from Hartland
for the commutation of tithes ; from the Dissenting farm-
inc society of a parish in Devon for the relief of Dis.
centers from church rates, and from the land.owners of
Hartland for the repeal of the 16th section of the sth
of George IV., for the establishmant of uniformity in
weights and measures. The Noble Lord stated, that
in compliance with the wish expressed in this and other
petitions, he should, on the 17th of June, move for leave
to bring in a Bill to repeal the 16th section of that Act
which gave liberty to parties, in certain cases, to use the
old measures for a certain period.
Mr. R. KING presented a- petition from Callow, in
the county of Waterford, complaining of the grievous
manner in which the county cess was levied in that and
other towns in the county.
Mr. E. DENISON presented a petition from We't
Rochford, in the county of Nottingham, pray n r for the

London, England, 1833-05-23

JUDICIAL APPOINTMENTS.

The House then resolved itself into a Committee on the
Privy Council
The SOLICITOR GENERAL said it was necessary
that the Privy Council should he made a more tffici,nt
tribunal ; and he thought the House would not object to
the proposed addi'ion of 4001. to the superannuated allow-
ances of retired Ju,?ges, on condition of their affording
the Privy Council the benefit of their legal experience.
Mr. PRYME made a few remarks, which were not
audible.

Mr. LLOYD said if Judges were capable of acting, they
ought to be siintinued on the Bench, and not placed on
retired allowances.
Mr. JERVIS understood that there was a Puisne Baron
of the Exchequer, who, having been on the bench for 15
years, was entitled to the retired allowance, but who re-
fu,ed to retire milers a certain addition was made to that
allowance. There was, also, Ire understood, a Learned
Gentleman connected with the Government, who expec'ed
an appointment in the Court of Exchequer. What con-
nexion these points had 'with the present Bill, he did not
pretend to say ; but there were now three judges more
than formerly, and he did not see why one or more of
them should not attend the Privy Council without im
posing any additional burden on the country.
Mr. HUME spoke in opposition to the Bill.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL was astonished at the
surmises which had been thrown out. He did not deny
that certai❑ circumstances had occurred recently ; but the
proposed measure had been projected nine, nay, twelve
months ago, when it was resolved to re-model the Privy
Council. A Bill had been drawn up then, and part of the
plan was, that the retired judges should be requested to sit
on the Privy Council, and should be indemnified in the
way now proposed.
An HON. MEMBER (name unknown) moved that the
House be counted, when there being only twenty-eight
Members present, the House adjourned at a quarter past
two o'clock.
