THE SI7N, LONDON, WEDNESDAY MORNING, JULY 29, ta4e.

they were hitherto moving in a vicious circle. He agreed in
that. He felt that the colonies and England were placed
within a vicious circle ; but he thought it would be desirable
if it were so, when a Minister of the Crown (he cared not
whether he acted from primal conviction or recent conversion—
( Hear, hear)--or on which side he sat) when a Minister of
the Crown thought it desirable to propose a law which sub-
jected many to dismay and alarm, that he should furnish some
detailed considerations why the measure should be supported—.
that he should condescend to give some arguments—he ( Mr.
Disraeli) would say facts—why the House should adopt the
charge.—(Hear, hear. )--When they were so lately told
that they were moving in a vicious circle,
it would have been consolatory, and extremely interesting and
advantageous, if the Noble Lord had given some proofs of the
benefits that would flow from the adoption of his measure—
that he should give some idea of this perfect system of com
coerce. He should be glad to see a Minister of the Crown
who was in office, or a Minister who was not, pretend to en-
lighten them on this point.(—Hear, hear.) No one could
be insensible to the secret. influences that had been in
operation to bring about the new commercial features of the
country, or that they had been brought about by unknown and
irresponsible persons. He would say nothing disrespectful of
one man, whom he knew and respected—Alr. Deacon Hume.
All he would say was, that before the report appeared of the
Import-duty Committee, or evidence given upon it, he told
him (Mr. Disraeli) that year after year he had, in established
and respectable periodicals,'given all the evidence which had
been then adduced. But the fact was, Ministers never
read, and they had to he converted by Parliamentary
Committees. But he would refer to another of their private
influences—a respectable gentleman, and he ( Mr. Disrali)
only referred to him to show the influence of his opinio; s
on the Noble Lord (the First Lord of the Treasury.) The
Noble Lord had told them that uncertainty was fatal to the
inter eats of the West Indian eclonies, and in support of his case
he referred to the opinions of men of experience—to Mr.
M'Cullochand others. Would it not have been better in the
Noble Lord, who he believed was incapal le of saying
anything injurious—would it not have been better
at the same time that he cited the opinion
of Mr. M'Culloch on the question of sugar, that he had
told the House that Mr. M'Culloch was an honest and undis-
guised advocate of slavery as all institution.—( Hear, hear. )
In the very page of the work which had been referred to by the
Noble Lord, Mr. M'Culloch laid it down that there was ne
greater delusion than the objection entertained to negro slavery,
and that it was an institution that worked well in society—
that the soil of the tropics would never have beer,
cultivated without the application of slave labour. This the
Noble Lord had not referred to, yet those were the opinions of
a man whom the Government which had just given up office
had recommended as a fit object of :royal consideration, and ti
whom a pension had been granted.—( Hear, hear.) But what
could the public think of this when they knew these to- be-the
sentiments of the man. The Hon. Member for Bolton, whe
was learned in all languages, would know a Turkish
proverb he was about to quite ; it was " Fortunate
is the man who has a peach that is sunned on boti
sides." Mr. .M'Culloch was in this position, for
though he was a supporter of slavery, his phrases were dexte-
rously used by Ministers on both sides of the House. —( Hear.
hear.) The real question, therefore, was M'Culloch agains
Clarkson, for, though the Noble Lord had plentifully supplied
himself with arguments from that gentleman's writings, he
had carefully kept his anti-slavery tendency in the rear ;
one was left to suppose that he was an advoeatr
of the institution of slavery.—(Cries of " Hear, hear.)
There was another gentleman connected with the Board of
Trade who had favoured them with his opinion—( Hear, hear
—a gentleman who preached peace and good-will to all men.
and that was his principal argument for the achievements o'
free trade. That gentleman could listen to nothing that com-
promised principle. That was his answer to all their (the pro-
tectionists') • statements—to all their reasons. There was
another individual, a pedant who put up for a philosopher, who.
at the eve of a great revolution, said, also, "Finish On
world rather than compromise a principle ;" yet, ere
twelve months passed, with all his sef-complacer t
glory, he committed suicide, in despair of the fats
of the human race and his own destinies.—( Hear, hear. )
In these circumstances he (Mr. Dcisraeli) was bound to 30.2
that he could not agree with the Noble Lord, that those
colonies were prtof a vicious system. He said he did not
oppose the Ministers on account of ther being antagonistic tr
any previous arrangement as to slavery, but because he felt
this was an act of hostility to a fragment, if such it might be
called, of the colonial system of England.—( Hear, hear, and
cheers.) That was for the moment an old fashioned notion, but
he was of the belief thst they would yet be fnrbished up by the
national feeling. It was a fragment of a system, though they
had been tampering with that system—though they had de-
prived it of its greatest advantages—though they had been
following an ignis fatuus, with so fatal a result,—still it was a
fragment which he believed they would have ere long to re-
build—a structure which they had destroyed.—( Hear, hear.)
And to retrace the steps which they had heedlessly pursued.—
(Hear, and cheers.) He (Mr. Disraeli) said so for tw,
reasons, not merely because he believed their policy to bt
wrong—though that was no sufficient reason, for all men
were liable to err; but he had learned from tir
history of this country that its characteristic was
that it would retrace its steps ; not that it was less none.
riot's in injustice, but that the people being sooner sensible re
traced their steps. The history of England was a history of re-
action. Why, he asked, what was it they had done on which
they had not retraced their steps? They had destroyed their
national church and they retraced their steps—they destroyed
their monarchy and they retraced their steps—they destroyed
the House of Lords and they were now daily taking up Bills
for their sanction. They even destroyed the House of Com-
mons, yet here they were assembled to discuss a great
question. Why. not more than 100 years ago, when
they chose to effect one of the greatest revolutions in the
world, they were warned against the course pursued by Sir
Robert Walpole ; they were warned by the most gifted o.
writers, by the most eloquent of advocates, that indirect taxa
tion would be a bane to the people. But now, not a man rose
who did not advocate direct taxation, offering them proo,
that Sir William Wyndham was right, and Lord Bolingbroke
a safe guide. Why, he contrasted what was now going on
with the abolition of slavery. The Minister of the Crown
came forward and put an end to one of the greatest
struggles on which the people had entered. Having abolished
slavery, their efforts were directed against the slave trade at an
expenditure of 50,000,0001. He asked how, when they were
on their way to the hustings, they would propose to explain
this ? Fifty millions, the people would say, and all for a fai-
lure ! England would retrace her steps towards establishing
her industry, which, if destroyed, was destroyed rashly; but
if it was an error, this, at least, could be said that the peo-
ple had no participation in it. They did not send them to
destroy the colonial system ; to them remained all the
glory, and they could not experience the shame. And
here he would have stopped, and would not have troubled the
House at any further length, but for a speech which had been
delivered in the House last night. They had heard last night
a funeral oration delivered over the abolition cause by the
Noble Member for Liverpool. He thought that if the subject
was not choice, the oration was choice.—(Laughter.) When
he remembered another speech that was made by the Member
for Liverpool on the same subject, at a period not very remote.
he was the last person whom he would have expected
to make such a criticism on the motion of the
Noble Member for Lynn.—(Hear, hear.) But that motion
had not the potential parenthesis which the Noble Lord had
inserted in his speech. He knew no', and he would not pre-
sume to say, which speech—that of 1841 or that of last night
—was the opinion of the Noble Member. lint it was, perhaps,
an apt conclusion to the session, to see the Noble Member on
a hogshead of sugar in a white sheet, and holding the taper of
penitence in his hand, crying out " Peccat,i."—(Great
laughter.) He remembered that the Noble Lord at his elec-
tion carried a wooden bible before him—perhaps the speech of
last night was the wooden bible speech.—(Great laughter.)
No one understood the West India question better than the
Right Hon. Baronet the Member for Tamworth, and well he
might tell them that any system of emigration would not be at-
tended with succeass, unless it was accompanied with a suffi-
cient quantity of females.—( Hear, hear.) But great was the
mortification of himself and the friends around him to find
the Right Hon. Baronet's speech terminate with a resolution
that was fatal to all its arguments.—(Hear, hear.) But he
must say, that the reason which was given for that resolu-
tion was less ingenious and more surprising than many of the
arguments which they had heard from the Right Hon.
Baronet. ( Hear, hear.) It would seem that the
Right Honourable Baronet was induced to come to
that decision upon a consideration of the question of who
should sit on the treasury bench. He said a few minuters sine;
that if they went to the hustings, the people of England upon
being told that fifty millions of their treasure had been
promoting a delusion, might. perchance have something to say
as to the usefulness of the Parliament of England, but when
they were told it was a question not only of fifty millions, but
might be of five hundred millions of countless treasures—of
principles which they had prized beyond all treasure—they
might perhaps be disposed to rebel against the conviction of
the Right lion. Baronet. When they heard that it was
for the sake of party convenience, and settling who should be
Prime Minister of England, they might be almost
induced to say farewell to the Parliament of Eng-
land. The Bight Honourable Baronet indeed told
them that he could not, under the circumstances of the
case, act otherwise than he did. He said he could not see how
another Government was to be formed, but he (Mr. Disraeli)
thought of late Honourable Members had became rather inde-
corous in always supposing that the Government of the
country was selected, not by a high authority, but by the
House itself.—(Hear, hear.) But this he could tell the Right
Hon. Baronet that, in his mind, his forte lay not so much in
forming a Government as in destroying one.— ( Hear, hear, and
laughter.) These were the views which had in-
fluences! - him and his friends around him in re-
sisting the resolution of the Government. He was
glad to believe that there was not a Member of the Govern-
ment, that there was not a Member of that House, who could
suppose that in the course they had taken they had been
influenced by any illegitimate or sinister feeling.—( Hear, hear.)
He candidlyconfoned, as regarded the. Government themselves:
reconciling the circumstances 'under which they acceded to
office, to power, remembering-himself as a Member of the
majority which placed them upon the Treasury bench, that he
ought to take upon himself some of the responsibility which
attached to them, but ho could not see that there was any
other course open to them to adopt.—(Hear, hear) But tt
was a satisfaction to know that neither the Goetvheceyronunahridentbe they

maintain their former position, and well they might, for they
hear.) Tisey halclung to the hope that they might still
had the memorable admission of the Right Hon. Baronet
the member for Tamworth, that had he remained in office
they might have been saved for another year.—( Hear, hear.)
He was not sorry that the catastrophe was consummated in
this way. Ile was glad that the system of protection had
been put an end to under the circumstances which at present
existed.—( Hear, hear.) He was glad that it had been put
an end to by a protective Parliament, who had passed a re-
solution pledging the Commons of England to support the
colonial interest.—(Hear, hear.) But he did not see why
the opposition of the Right Hon. Baronet should have in-
duced the Noble Lord to abandon office, because the Noble Lord
might have pursued the course of the Right Hon. Baronet in
some tew years back, under similar circumstances; indeed upon
the very subject of sugar. He might have said he was defeated
on a question which was not fatal, and therefore it was not ne-
cessary for him to resign.—( Hear, hear.)
Lord JOHN RUSSELL said—Sir, in rising towards the
close of this debate, to address some observations to the House,
I must in the first place most willingly declare, that my Noble
Friend, whether in the motion that he has mode, or in the
speech with which he accompanied it, has not id or proposed
anything which he was not p'rfectly justified in doing.—(Hear,

plan before us, and we shall be ready at the: commencement
another session to take this plan, or any other plan Government
may in the mean time mature for considerrtion—( Hear,
bean) I could well undentaud that course had it been taken

taken by the Noble Lord, and it might have been supported by
the majority of the House, and Government might still have
thought themselves justified in continuing in office—(Hear,
hear)—for the course which my Noble Friend Las taken is
widely different to this. It declares in the first place that the
tneerence of this Howe was pledged to princ'nles of
a particular commercial policy. It declares in the
next place that the plan before the House is calculated to give
a stimulus to the slave trade, and altogether condemns, upon
these two allegations, the whole plan that has been submitted
to the consideration of this House.—( Hear, hear.) Sir, I will
endeavour, in the first place, to touch upon a few of those
topic 3 to which my Noble Friend, as well as the Honourable
and Learned Member who has just sat down, have adverted,
and I will then ask the House to consider what
may be the effect of the adoption of the resolution
of the Noble Lord. Sir, my Noble Friend commenced
with a statement as to the production of the colonies,
and went into a calculation of the sugars to be expected
this year, but I am not going at present to follow him with
regard to any calculation as to the amount of sugar that may
be introduced into this country from India during the present
year.' I cannot, however, but say that the principle upon which
my Noble Friend proceeds is, that you should endeavour to
create a necessity in India for the production of sugar, by
establishing actually high rrices for that sugar than it would
otherwise obtain if you did not by law give them. Now, Sir, a
,worse instance for the adoption of a protective policy
I could not well conceive. I can well understand with respect
to corn, or ev,th, respect to any production that has been long
favoured by is s, that any i istry may say, this s! rte nit is
difficult to tax, because there is a great portion of our popula-
tion whose interests are induced in the protection of this
article.—(Protectionist cheers.) My Noble Friend the Mem-
eer for Lynn has said that we must raise up a protective
interest, and give to the sugars of India an advantage in the
market by raising the price by law, in the hope that at some
future time the price would be again reduced to meet
the exigencies and the wants of the people of
England —(Cheers.) But, except this House is ready to
revoke its former votes and decide that protection is neces-
-ary for the interestsof thi s country, and should not be inter-
fered with, I conceive it cannot give its consent to the resolu-
tions of my Noble Friend the Member for Lynn.—(Cheers.)
fhe Hon. Gentleman the Member fir Shrewsbury has gone
into some statements with respect to the revenue; I do no i
tend to follow the Hon, Gentleman in that course. But he,
and the friends who act with him, seem to forget that the cal-
culations upon which we rely are, that with diminished
prices there will be an increased consumption, and with an in-
•creased consumption you will have an addi.ional importation,
end from an addiconal importation 3ou must have alt increase
of revenue.—(Cheers.) With reference to the last portion of
the Noble Lord's resolution, that the proposed measure will
give a stimulus to the slave trade, I must say that the Hoe.
eteeenee -for Shrewsbury was led into the most extraordi-
nary aonfusion of ideas. He supposed, that because we do
not think that the exclusion of slave sugar from the markets
of this country could be kept up as an efficient
..ystem that we were ready to say that the abolition of slavery
was a failure. Nothing could be more distinct than the two
propositions.— (Cheers. ) After .he plan of Mr. Wilberforce
had been adopted and carried into effect, there arose another
question, which was, if you can give protection to your own
colonies against all the sugar producers of the slave colonies of
other countries. Upcn that arose the question whether or not
it was defensible upon the principle of protection, or upon the
grounds of humanity, to maintain that system of protection
and exclusion.—( Cheers.) Sir, I was one of those who had
:he honour of being her Majesty's advisers at the time of
the abolition of the slave trade.—( Hear.) I still hold that
to be a great measare—a wise and judicious measure—
founded upon the sound principles of justice and humanity.—
'Cheers.) I cansider it, Sir, as a measure which experience
has sanctioned, and which no House of Commons will. I
venture to say, ever propose to revoke.—(Lord cheers) The
question before this House is, do tou think you can put any
check to the slave-trade by the proftihition of the single article
of slave-grown sugar, while at the same time you admit slave-
grown tobacco, rice, copper, and other things? The Hop.
Member for Shrewsbury has said, that to defend the practice
Ton this principle, would be to do so on the principle of a
person who might as well be hung for a sheep as a lamb.
L do not admit that it is wrong to admit these articles into the
country. The adoption of such a principle would not, I think,
advance the cause of humanity in the world. It would leave
fen to declare in your tariff, and in your customhouse books,
that you would take an exact account of the means to ascer-
tain the products, where produced, and the different lints at
which the various articles were shipped and embarked for this
country. Will any man say, that if such had been the ease—
that if on the gropnd of humanity, such had been the policy
.f this great commercial nation, mankind would have been in
a better situation in that case than they are at the present mo-
ment? Will any man say that the commercial intercourse
If this great and civilised country with Asia and with Africa,
vas not tended to mitigate those barbarous practices?--( Hear,
.ear)—to mitigate slavery while it existed in India and the
other countries, and upon the whole, reviewing the state and
condition, has it not produced a policy more civilised—a policy
more happy in relation between man and man, than would
have been the case if you had continued to sanction that exclu-
3ive principle, and which was conceived to be humane, but
which would have turned out to be a barbarous and
injurious policy?—(Cheers.) Such, Sir, I think, is a fair de-
duction from the principles which the Honourable and
Learned Gentleman has put forward, and is this an opinion
solely of my own—is it an opinion, with regard to what is at
present carried on with regard to sugar, which her Majesty 's
Ministers entertain? Why, my Right Hon Friend near me
quoted the opinions of an anti-slavery society in Liverpool.—
( Hear, hear.) The opinions of that anti-slavery society, as
here stated, are that freedom of labour in the pro-
duction of sugar is promoted, not by the
exclusion of slave-grown sugar, but by its free admission.
They say, that from observation, they are of opinion that free
labour, when brought into fair competition with slave labour,
will be more effective in the abolition of slavery, and they can-
not but regard the continuance of the protective duties as
virtually and practically promoting the continuance of the slave
trade; and they say that they believe that sugar can easily be
produced by free labour, and that the free labour colonist will be
able to compete with the slave holding colonists. Such is the
opinion of the Anti- Slavery Society. I hold in my hand a re-
port from a very different body, the association of the West
India planters and merchants ; and what is their opinion on the
present subject? They say that it is perfectly practicable to
compete with the slave growing colonies by means of free
labour, and that the abolition of slavery can be better effected
by admitting sugar into this country free of duty; than all the
high-sounding denunciations which can be used, and which
they say will be fruitless. Thesimple plan of abolishing slavery
they say is to follow the course pointed out by the Government.
Why, Sir, those opinions are almost identical in expression,
and yet they come one from the; Anti-slavery Society, and the
other from a committee of the West India body, deeply inte-
rested in the preservation of these colonies. I say, therefore,
that no one has a right to say that the plan which we propose
has any tendency to increase the slave trade and slavery. But
let me take another part of the argument, and show you in
what manner I think that the present system does prevent.
the good you labour to effect, and that argument is no other
than the well-known argument which experience has re-
peatedly shown to be well-founded, that the effect of monopoly
and protection is always to check exertion and diminish enter-
prise, and prevent the full and fair fruits of the capital, skill,
and labour of those who are engaged in any branch of agricul-
ture or manufacture.--( Hear, hear and loud cheers.) What
is the case with the West Indies? We find during
the last two or three years some evidence given
before a Committee of the Assembly of Labour by persons
who are well acquainted with the West Indies, showing that
the cost of the production of sugar is very much greater than
it need be if all the advantages of machinery, if all the specu-
lations and skill were used which moral science
and moral ingenuity would dictate. I have be-
fore me a plan proposed by the West Indian
colonists, who say that the 'plan which they proposed was
generally well received. The plan which they propose to sup-
port the manufacture of sugar or the cultivation is such as, in
their opinion, would enable fthe proprietors of estates in the
colonies to produce sugar at 143. pciecwt., instead of 275., the
present price.—( Hear, hear.) I do not say that this statement
or that those particular figures are just, but that there would
be a very great economy with regard to the manufacture of
sugar, and particularly so if those colonists were exposed to
competition.—,Hear, hear.) It is competition, and it is com-
petition only, which ever does bring out enterprise, and
economy, and skill. (Hear.) I have spoken of late years with
various persons engaged in the various branches of manufacture,
I have asked them what it was, in their opinion, that caused
the very great advances which had been made in machinery of
late years, and they have all uniformly answered—" It is the
great increase of competition ; it was necessity which led us to
improve our machinery and resort to every species of economy
that we could, to be able too into the markets of the world.
—( Max, hear.) With the same stimulus—with the same
unlimited exertion of the West Indian colonists, I believe and
I think that you will see that they will rise and flourish
more than they have done for many years on the old system
(llear, hear.) From an Hun. Gentleman who spoke to-night
' I was very sorry to hear of persons who had resolved to culti-
vate their estates no longer. lam sorry to hear that there are
persons so dispirited, but I do believe, that if these estates
arc properly worked, there will be no better in-
vestment than the West Indian estates.—(Hear, hear.)
fhe Hon. Gentleman has alluded to some other points, to
which I should wish to draw attention before I sit down.
Now,,Sir, one point is that with regard to the opinion of Mr.
M'Culloch. That gentleman has been in the habit of sending
me copies of his works, and he did send to me a copy of his
last work on taxation, but with a note saying that he hoped
that I would approve of the greater part of the work, but that
lie was aware that there was one question of it regarding
slavery with which he felt sure I would not coincide, and
such was the fact. I look upon Mr. M'Culloch as a most
able and well informed writer, though I do differ with him
upon that point. The Honourable Gentleman with
some of the fancy, of which he possesses much,
says that I stated that the colonies were:on a vicious system.
Now, on the contrary. I said that the colonies were a great
part of the empire, and I hoped that they might flourish ; but
I did say that the ancient system, by which you refused to the
mbeadoef afaxoTao
htmhmactoorrrtceheiheai
mr
colonies permission to send its produce to other countries, was
a vicious system. Now, this is a point of considerable im-
portance, for it said, that if you are not in favour of the
ancient system, you wish to destroy the colonies ; but on the

the character of the country, Ido not refer to those times of
violence, when the throne and Parliament was scattered by the
assumption of an usurped authority, but since the accession of
the house of Stuart, there was nothing more clear than that
the character of the country was to adhere with firm determi-
nation to the conquests of reason which had been made. In
those days personal liberty was at the will of the sovereign.
The Habeas Corpus Act was passed. Had they slates', a
wish to repeal that Act? The Bill of Rights was also obtained
—had any attempt been made to repeal that Bill ?—(llear,
hear.) The Act of Toleration was passed, but who had ever
moved that it should be suspended—( Hear.) Ido not believe
that there is any party in this House that would wish to restore
the disabilities that were formerly imposed upon the Catholics.
—(Cheers.) When a question had been ripened by discussion
and decided, the triumph of reason ha; ever remained permanent
and without even a wish being expressed to repeal er go back.
Sir, my Noble Friend who began the debate, and the Hon.
Gentleman alter whom I am now speaking, contemplated the
passing of this resulUtion, and in terms of great courtesy to
her Majesty's Ministers, contemplated that after the passing of
the amendment, we might continue with benefit to admit-sister
the affairs of this country. I beg to thank my Noble Friend
for the manner in which he addressed us, and I have teething to
find fault with in the terms of hisspeech, but the resolution itself
is:one completely subversive of the pelicy which we have thought
right to recommend to this House. I had hoped that in
assuming with my colleagues the Government of this country,
I had hoped that after a period of angry contest, after a period
during which a measure was carried which bad been attended
with more violent opposition than any measure ever met with
in that House, I had hoped that we shouldhave had at least
the acquiescence of all parties till at length affairs
had assumed a settled course, that they would
have waited to see whether the measure we

brought forward would meet with the approbation of the coun-
try. With that expectation I did feel (what an Hon. Member
calls) the presumption—be it so—l did feel :hat. I sbnuld
undertake the adrniniatration of the affairs of this country; but
I do think that no "Ministet could COndect the domestic dffairs
of this country, or maintain its character in the face of
foreign powers, milieu he hmi the respect of this House

and the country ; and I candidly confess that
if I consented to go on with the administration of the affairs
of this country, after the resolution was carried, and my
volley set aside, I should be exposing my Administration to
conteme, I should be injuring the dignity of the Crown, whose
servant lam; I should be injuring the reputation of the Go-
vernment, at whose head I am placed ; I ?hould be causing a
diminution of the glory of this great nation, to which we all belong.
I can also state that, if the resolution correctly represent the
opinions of the majority of the House, and if it be a reflex
of the opinion of the country, I think her Majesty would do
well to place the administration of affairs in the hands of those
who advise that policy. That would be a constitutional pro-
ceeding, and though I could not support my Noble Friend
in his views. I must ;admit that he would be intitled to carry
out that policy, by assuming the position which would enable
him the more effectually to do so; but of one thing I am sure,
that to remain in power after being degraded by the passing of
the resolution of my Noble Friend, would bring a permanent
injury to the constitution of this country, and I would not be
doing justice to my Sovereign to continue to hold office one
moment longer.—( The Noble Lord sat down amid loud cries
of "Divide.") .

Strangers were then ordered to withdrawn, and the House
divided, when there appeared—
For Lord G. Bentinck's amendment ..

The amendment was received with considerable cheering
from the Ministerial side of the House.
The resolution was then agreed to.
The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the
House adjdurned at half-past One o'clock.

week has been so great in the metropolis, that the Batavier
from Rotterdam, the Antwerpen from Antwerp, and the
steam-packet from Havre, have landed on our quays such an
abundance of fruit, that currants, which recently sold for
10d. the quart, have been sold during the past week at 19d.
the gallon. But what of all thi,, if the poor man, the
decent mechanic, and the great bulk of the population, are
deprived of a cheap and abundant supply of that commodity
which can alone enable them to turn these advantages to
account? What could more conduce to the health and com-
fort of a large community ?—what greater domestic luxury
to the poor, than such a supply of sugar as would enable
them to preserve for futare use such an abundant and cheap
supply of fruit? A good Sugar Bill is a necessary, comple-
ment to all the reductions and reforms which we have made
in our tariff. Weigh against the great public interests in-
volved in the measure all the arguments which are put for-
ward by the monopolists against it—in all of them we re-
cognise only one idea and one fact, which has been the con-
spicuous mark of our sugar legislation from time immemorial
—the interests of the many sacrificed to those of the few.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
HOUSE OF LORDS, July 28.
The House sat to-day to hear appeals. The Peers present
were the Lord Chancellor, the Earl of Charlemont, and the
Bishop cf Oxford.

BOWEN V. EVANS.
The further arguments in this part-heard case occupied
their Lordships the whole day.

ROLLS' COURT, July 28.
The Master of the Rolls sat in his Court in Chancery-lane
to-day.

BAINBRIDGE V. BADDELEY.—JUDGMENT.
The MASTER or THE Roils gave judgment in this case to-
day, which was argued before his Lordship a short time since
upon a demurrer put in by the defendant to the plaintiff's
amended Bill. The Bill was filed for the purpose of obtain-
ing the direction of the Court for the t►ial of certain issues
fir the purpose of ascertairiog whether the will of a trltator
named Bainbridge, which was made in 1818, was valid or
not, it being contended that the will was of no effect, inas-
much as the testator was insane at the time of making It.
To this Bill a demurrer was put in by the defendant, on the
ground of want of equi!y. His Lordship ordered the de-
murrer to be allowed.

LENDOREN v. LENDGREN.-JUDGMENT.

The MASTER OF THE ROLLS gave judgment in this case,
in which the question was whether certain legacies left by a
testatrix of the name of Standon were good or not, under the
circumstances, and if they were good whether they were to
be paid out of the testatrix's general estate. It appeared
that the testatrix Mrs. Standon, being possessed of 1,0001.,
Three per Cent. Consols, sold them out for the sum of 9031,
which she handed to the plaintiff, upon the understanding
that he should pay her the came amount of interest (301. a
year) as she had received from the stock. This was regularly
done up to the period of her death, sho►tly before which
she made her will, leaving a legacy to the plaintiff
of 5001., and others of smaller amount to other per-
sons, all of which she directed to be paid
out of the Three per Cent. stock. The testatrix having no
Three per Cent. stock at the time of her death, it was con-
tended that the legacy must fail.
The MASTER OF THE ROLLS was of a different opinion, and
directed the legacy to be paid out of the testatrix's general
estate.

.IKYVES V. THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON.-JUDGMENT

The MASTER OF THE Rotas also gave judgment in this case,
which was argued before him in his court at Westminster
some time since. The case came before his Lordship upon a
demurrer put in by the defendant, his Grace the Duke of
Wellington, as the surviving executor of his late Majesty
George the Fourth, to the bill filed by the plaintiff, the re-
presentative of a natural daughter of the late Duke of Cum.
berland, brother of George the Third, claiming a legacy of
15,0001., left by the will of that monarch to Olive, the
daughter of his brother, out of consideration for
her situation. George the Third died on the 29th
of January, 1820, without having revoked his will,
and George IV. possessed himself of his personal estate.
George IV. died on the 28th of June, 1830, and by his will he
appointed the Duke of Wellington and Sir William Knigh-
ton his executors. The legacy of 15,0001. not having been
paid, and Sir William Knighton having died, the plaintiffs
filed their bill against the Duke of Wellington, as the surviv,
ing executor of George IV., for an account of the personal
estate of that monarch, of which he had possessed himself,
and also for the payment of the legacy. To that bill the
Duke put in a demurrer for want of equity, on the ground
that the matters contained in the will of George 111., were
not cognisable in the Court, inasmuch as the will had never
been proved in the proper form. His Lordship was cf
opinion that the demurrer was sustainable, and ordered it to
be allowed.—Demurrer allowed.

VICE CHANCERY COURT, July 28.
The VICE-CHANCELLOR OF ENGLAND, after disposing of
the short causes in his paper, and making orders for the re
turn of the deposit in several railway cases, heard motions.
(Before Vice-Chancellor WIGRAM.)
THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. MITEDOCII.
Mr. ROLT, QC., continued his argument on behalf of the
defendants, the trustees of one of those chapels built by vo-
luntary subscription in Scotland !in connexion with the
Established Church, before the disruption. His argument
yesterday proceeded on the special circumstances of the case,
by which he endeavoured to show that the residuary
church established by law had no claim over the cha-
pel by the deeds. But to-day he assumed that there
might be something in the deeds apparently supporting
the claim, and argued that the trustees of this chapel did no-
thing more than elect to follow a model, and that for this
model they took the Church of Scotland as it then existed.
He contended that so far as this model of a Christian church
was concerned the Church of Scotland and the Free Church
did not differ, in support of which he referred to the Veto
Act of the Church of Scotland, as expressive of her opinion
in 183.5, to the secessions which were made from her com-
munion in the same spirit in 1733 and 1732, and to several
passages from the first and second books of Church Disci-
pline. He denied that they had connected themselves with
the Church of Scotland or the Free Church.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, July 28.
(Before Mr. Commissioner FAKE.)
IN RE HOPKINS.
This bankrupt, who had carried on business as a trader in
Portman-street, Portman-square, came up to pass his last
examination.
A Solicitor said he attended as solicitor to the assignees.
The Learned CommissioNsit asked if he was the solicitor
to the fiat, and'was answered in the negative.
The Learned COMMISSIONER said he never recognised any
one as solicitor to the assignees, they were, if appointed, so•
licitors of the Court working out the Eat.
The Solicitor said he had been appointed after the choice
of assignees.
The Learned COMMISSIONER said he could examine the
bankrupt.
It appeared that the bankrupt had started in busine=:s
without capital, and there would not be a shilling to his cre-
ditors, as he had made a post nuptial settlement on his wife
in 1844. He had net kept any cash- book, and his accounts
were very imperfect.
The Learned COMMISSIONER said that these were properly
subjects for discussion when the bankrupt applied for his
certificate.
The bankrupt was then allowed to pass.

another struck his hand. Whea the prisoners were ap-
prehended, Meek said that the gun had been fired at a lark ;
and it turned out tha the waggon, at the time of the firing,
was distant about 35 yarda from the prosecutor.
For the defence the criminal intent was again denied, and
several persons gave the prisoners an excellent character.
Mr. Justice WILLIAMS told the jury to consider whether
the gun had been fired at such a distance from the prosecutor
as to show that the prisoners must have contemplated its
taking effect; if it bad not been so fired they ought to be
acquitted.
The jury deliberated a few moments, and returned a verdict
of Acquittal.

July 25.
CROWN COURT.

BREAKING AND ENTERING A DWELLING •HOUSE.—
George ifilia.'es was indicted for having, on the 10th of May,
feloniously entered the dwelling-house of William Miles, at
Beeston, and stolen fourteen pounds therefrom.
Mr. Evans conducted the prosecution, and Mr. G. L.
Browne defended the prisoner.
It appeared that the house of the prosecutor had been en-
tered while the family was attending divine service, and the
money taken by some person, who must have cut oat a
small-latticed window from its rude framework at the back
of the house, and squeezed himself through the aperture thus
made, for there were the footmarks of a stranger outside the
window. The window-frame was whitened, as if some per-
son with a whitened coat had forced himself through, and on
the sill there was an impression as of whitened corduroys.
The footmarks were traced to some distance, and it appeared
that the thief in his retreat must have forced himself through
a place where he would have to creep on his hands and
knees, and, in all probability, wet his knees, and cause his
dress to be marked with green staips. All these indications
of guilt coincided with the state of the prisoner's dress, ex-
cept that the impression of his highlows did not correspond
with the footmarks. It was proved, however, that the pri-
soner, after he bad seen the constables examining the foot-
prints, had drawn some nails from his highlows, and that in
ngth and breadth they coincided with the impressions.
None of the money, however, was found on the prisoner or
traced to Lim. The defence consisted of very ingenious com-
ments, tending to discredit the accuracy of the witnesses.
The jury returned a verdict of Guilty; and the prisoner was
sentenced to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for two
years.

WOUNDING A MAN IN PossEssiox.— William Tennant
was indicted for having, on the 30th of April, wounded John
Utting on the head, with intent to do him . some grievous
bodily harm. Mr. Palmer prosecuted, and Mr. W. Cooper
defended the prisoner. On the day in question the prisoner
went to a small farm, of which he has recently been dispos-
sessed in due'course of law, and I,ersisted in remaining on the
premises there, notwithstanding that he was warned off by
the prosecutor, who is a sheriff's follower, and had been left
in possession. The prosecutor determined to eject him, and.
was rising from his seat for that purpose, when the prisoner
took a steno from his pocket and struck him with it a tre-
mendous blow on the back of the head. At that moment the
son of the prrosecutor entered, and, rushing to his father's
assistance, knocked the prisoner down and secured him.
The blow on the prosecutor's head proved to be one of a very
serious kind, and the attendance of a medical man for some
time became necessary. In cross-examination it was elicited
that the prosecutor had been convicted of a conspiracy to
procure evidence against a man on a charge of rape. For the
defence, the daughter of the prisoner proved that the prose.
tutor had commenced the affray, and she also denied that
her father had bad any stone in his hand. The jury Ac-
quitted the'prisoner. .This case concluded the assizes for this
county.

MIDLAND ClRCUlT.—Nottingham, July 25.
The Crown business was finished in the course of the at'• er-
noon of Friday, when Mr. Justice Patteson proceeded to
assist the other Learned Judge in the disposal of the causes.
The business has been very light on the criminal side of the
court, the only serious charges being a case of stabbing, and
that of a girl of the name of Zillah Clarke, charged with
firing some straw in a hovel. She was Acquitted. The Nisi
Prius business, though heavier than was expected, did not
present anything worthy of a report.

OXFORD CIRCUIT.— Stafford, July 25.
CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice Mintz.)
FORGERY AT WOIXERHAAIPON. - Robert Mitchell, a po-
liceman, pleaded guilty to the charge of forging a cheque
for 751. upon Captain Hatton, the chief constable of the South
Staffordshire police force, and was sentenced to seven years'
transportation.

MANSLAUGHTER AT TlPToll.—Joseph Bale was indicted
for killing a fellow-workman in the parish of Tipton, on
the 24th of June. This case afforded another of the many
proofs brought forward at Stafford assizes of the fatal conse-
quences arising out of the ungovernable conduct and ex-
cessive passion displayed towards each other by the men
employed in the mining districts. In this case the prisoner
and the deceased, a man named Cooper, were working with
many others at Messrs. Benson's works in the neighbourhood
of Tipton. On the day of the occurrence, they ( with others)
were engaged in carrying hot metal in ladles from the fur-
nace to a place where a large hammer was fixed; a contest
seems to hare arisen as to which should arrive at the ham-
mer first; the men were running along a floor the surface of
which was of metal and highly polished. Ihe deceased
swung the hammer round, with the view (as it appeared) to
obtain first possession of an anvil; the prisoner thereupon
forcibly thrust him round. The effect of this was to hurl
him with violence against the hammer. consequent upon
which his head came into contact with some part of the ma
chinery, and he received blows upon the bead which caused
death. Mr. Justice Maule, in summing up, expressed an
opinion as to the impropriety of permitting the existence of
floors of such a nature as had been described, and further re-
marked, that there did not appear to have been any ma-
licious intent on the part of the prisoner. The jury almost
immediately returned a verdict of Not Guilty.

NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—Durham, July 23.
The commission was opened last night by Mr. Justice
Wightman, who presides in the criminal court. Mr. Justice
Cresswell sits in the civil court at this place. The cause list
is not numerous. Mr. Justice Wightman, after the list of
the magistrates and coroners had been called over, and a
grand jury sworn, addressed them shortly upon the
duties the grand juries would have to perform, and con-
gratulated them upon the comparative lightness of the cal-
lendar.

PASSING COUNTERFEIT MONEY.—John Crowther, aged 46,
and Harriet Johnstone, a very aged woman, were arraigned
fur having, at Stockton, uttered a couterfeit half-crown,
with intent to defrtud, well knowing the came to be forged.
The prisoners passed at their lodgings as man and wife, and
left behind them there a carpet bag, locked up, the morning
before their apprehension. On the 25th of March they pro-
ceeded to the Market-place, where the female prisoner pur•
chased with the base half-crown a pound of butter from a
small farmer's wife standing in the market, and received the
change. Upon their apprehension their late lodging was
discovered, and in the carpet-bag was found, locked up and
enveloped in several folds of wearing apparel, a rouleau of
' twenty-nine bad and counterfeit half-sovereigns, and two
bad sovereigns, and three counterfeit half crowns. There
was a bunch oekeys found on the woman, with one of which
the policeman with ease had unlocked the bag. The man
had given, when taken into custody, a false name.
Mr. OTTER defended the prisoners. He gave up the case
of the female, but contended there was nothing in the evi-
dence to affect Crowther, whom the jury acquitted, and found
the woman guilty of uttering the base coin, knowing it to
be counterfeit.
St.e was again charged upon another indictment for at-
tempting to pass off a counterfeit half-sovereign, similar to,
and cast in the same die as those found in the earpet.bag.
A second verdict of Guilty was returned, but the sentence
was postponed.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSION-HOUSE.

- - - -
Alderman Hughes Hughes was engaged during a great
part of Saturday in examining witnesses in the following
serious cases of robbery .by a servant, and receiving the
stolen goods by the brothers of the accused.
William Slater, aged between 15 and 16, was charged
with having stolen a quantity of silk handkerchiefs, the
property of Messrs. Keen, Tebbutt, and Rippin, of Wood-
street, Cheapside, and with having embezzled several sums
of money, which he bad been intrusted to receive for the
firm; and his brothers, Thomas and John, aged severally 17
and 19, were charged with having received the goods.and
money, knowing them to have been stolen.
Mr. G. E. Radford, cashier to the firm of Keen, Tebbutt,
and Co., stated as follows :—lt was the duty of William
Slater to account to one for the several sums of money
which he had collected. I gave him a list of the debts to
collect on the 10th of July, but he did not account for any
money; neither did he return to the warehouse, and was
apprehended the following day. This morning he told
me that he had been persuaded by his brothers to steal
the money, that they had previously wished him to
steal on several occasions, and on the morning of the
10th he met them at their lodgings. The arrangement was
then made that he was to rob on that day ; that he met them
accordingly in Whitechapel-road, and gave them the whole
of the money he had received up to that time, cheques and
all, and that they went together to Tottenham ; that he had
no portion of the money himself, nor had they, when he left
them, spent so much as a sovereign of it. He also told
me that he had, from time to time, stolen various silk hand-
kerchiefs from his employers, having been persuaded by his
brothers to commit the robberies, and he received only a
small portion of the proceeds, one or two shillings at a time;
that he took the property early in the morning, during the
time he was sweeping his portion of the warehouse, and he
carried it off the premises in his hat or cap ; and that he had
stolen a gold 'pencil-case, the property of a young man then
living in the house, which pencil-case a pawnbroker named
Cotton detained. About 12 months ago I observed one of
the prisoners, whom I believe to be John Slater, walking
outside the warehouse, and whistling for his brother to come
out ; and in consequence of that William was prohibited from
holding any intercourse with his brother John.
After some. further evidence in corroboration of this state-
ment,
William Slater. upon being asked whether he wished to
say anythingcsaid, "All that Mr. Radford has stated is quite
correct."

The two other prisoners said, "We have nothing to say
at all."

The prisoners were then committed for trial at the Central
Criminal Court.

WORSHIP-STREET.

Hannah Darker was brought up for final examination be-
fore Mr. Broughton, charged with having feloniously admi-
nistered a quantity of oxalic acid to her husband, George
Barker, a journeyman shoemaker, with intent to murder
him. _ _ _

The facts of the case were fully detailed in this paper.
The prisoner was fully committed on the capital charge.
WHoLEsAr.s SwmrnunG.—George Rose Keate, alias Kean,

tained from various tradesmen a vast quantity of property
by falso representations, were placed at the bar for final ex-
amination.

forgery against Keale, having been completed, both the pri-
soners were committed for trial.
