The LORD CHIEF BARON gave notice, at the sitting of
the Court, ,that the Court would take the cases on the
special paper in the order as set down, commencing with
the one part heard, on Monday next, Nov. 23.
The cases disposed of to-day presented no feature of
public importance.

COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.)

. ,
ADIE. ' FALL.*REGISTRATION- APPEALS:
•

On the assembling of the Court this morning,
Mr. COCKBURN opplied in the above 'case for their
Lordships to postpone it till-next term,' in order that a
fresh :notice might be given by the appellant, the ten
clear days required between the serving of the notice
and the .day fixed for hearing the appeal having Veen
omitted, from a - misunderstanding of the provisions of
the Aet;_,- /Unless the Court extended its indulgence, a
great-number, of the appeals lodged would be quashed
from:the-decision the Court had come to on Monday last.
The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE; after consulting 'a ith the
rdst'of their:Lordahips, said, the Legislature, under the
present RegiAration Act, had delegated powers to this
Court of a mostimportant nature, and 'which it behoVed
them: to exercise in a careful 'and scrupulous manner.
The law stated, that in all matters relating to the revi-
sion of votes for the eleetionof Members of Parlitinient
the decision of the revising barrister was conclusive,
except the reservation, under *certain conditions, of an
appeal to the present Court. In making such 'an. appeal
it was required that the appellant should'give his-notice
of appealo%o.that ten clear days should be allotved be-
tweenithegday it was lodged and' the day on 7which the
appeal was to be heard. The law on this had left no
discretion- to- the' Conit. It - erriphatieullY declared ten
days at least: Where, therefore, the Legi Mature for the first
time delegated such important powers' to a dourt of law,
as, to decide conclusively on: the eleetivie franchise, such
court was bound strictly to colifine itself to the Act of
Parliament. If the law was found 'too stringew, it
should be left to the Legislature-to relax its previsions,
but it would be introducing a greater evil than any that
might exist from the operations of the, statute; if the
Court assumed- judicial power, and allowed the in-
dulgence sought -by an extension 'of -lime, in a
matter in which the Act was so distinct and pre-
cise. , • He did not see that if the' 'hearing was
postponed till next term, the appellant •would be in any
better position than now. The time had gone past for
allowing the ten days required, and however hard it may
be ,considered 'on those who were desirous of securing
-eleptoral advantages. the Court was bound to refuse the
;application.
The,rest, of their Lordships concurred, and the appeal -
!was dismissed.
GALE; ;V. THE TOWN-CLERK OF. MALKESRURY.
'lr. COCKBURN applied on behalf of the appellant in
!tbis,Case. The appeal was against the retention of the
inames,of certain freemen on the burgess roll, it being
!alleged that, they had not acquired theirright by mar-
riage or birth. , •
After Mr. Cockburn had addressed the Court for a few
minutes in explanation of the objection,
The COURT, without hearing the other side,llecided
;that the objection was bad, and ordered the dismissal Of

The, plaintitf in tNsaetiO4 is the Well-known conductor

cover the sun of 11/. 2s. 6,1. for, the hire of boxes at her
Ni.ijesty's Theatre and:at Cownt-garden Theatre.
jameSji;ennett was called, and proved that the
defendant went to,the plaintiff's shop and engaged a box
at. the Opera' fot which he agreed to pay 91:95., , and a
box at Covent-garden Theatre at 1/. 1 Is. 6d., with a
book 2's., amounting, together to the sum claimed.
The UNDER-SHERIFF said if the defenclantagreed to

The jury accordingly gave
.a verdict for the'plaintiff.
WEST V. SWEENEY.

This was an' action to recover the sum of 51. under the
following circumstances :—lt appeared that the defend-
ant was tenant of premises in Portman-street Barrack-
yard,and he 'agreed to, give UP the same to the 'plaintiff
if the landlord
.woUld grant a lease. A deposit of 51..
was paid down, and an agreement entered into, the de-
fendant undertaking to return the
Si.s/. if the landlord.
would not accept, the plaintiff as tenant, and grant a.
lease. The landlord was applied to,
,but it appeared he'
could not grant an unconditional, lease, as, in anticipa-
tion of the removal of the barracks for improvements in
the original lease, although it extended over thirteen
years, there was a condition that if'it should be required,
pdssession was to be given up without compensation.
No satisfactory lease being to be_obtained, the present
action was brought to recover batk_the deposit.
The defendant did not plead to the actioney.and the
jury fonid a 'verdict for the plaintiff for Si. '
In a case of no interest, Mr. Thomas, for the defendant,
.called for the plaintiff'w books, and the attorney was
looking over it, when' the Under-Sheriff interfered and
said that, although the counsel was privileged to do so,
no other person was. The counsel could only have ;jus-
tice in view; but- it was just possible that others might
have other objects.

SOUTHWARK:—"THIS DAY.)
A tall, poiVerful-looking roan, . named John Flynn,
was placed at the bar before Mr: Seeker; charged with
creating' a disturbance in 'the Feathers public-honst,
Stoney-street, BorOugh,- and stealing a gold seal and
key from Mr. Henry Goss, the landlord.
It appealed from the evidence of the latter, that the
Prisonefentered his house the previous evening in a state
of 'intoxication, and demanded to be supplied with li-
quoe. 'He was refused, and reqUeited to leave the house,
when he became very turbulent, and used disgust-
ing language. The complainant then endeavoured to get
hit from the house, when the prisoner snatched the seal
and 'hey froni hiS Watch-guard: The police'were then
called in, and atter considerable resistance-the prisoner
was taken into custody.
A poliaeman of the 'M division stated that when he
took the prisoner into custody he had the seal and key
in his hand, but denied his intention of stealing them.
SeVE:ral of hit .companions were present, and one of
theta assaulted him in endeavouring to rescue the pri-
sonerflore custody:
• The prisoner in his defence said he was first assaulted
by some persons' in. catiplainant's house, and while he
was remonstrating with the party Mr. Gest came and
turnedullim 11e denied 'any intention of stealing
the gold keyand seal, which mint 'have come into his

(THIS DAY.)
A special general meeting of the shareholders in this.
.undertaking, was, held..this afternoon, at the London
Tavern; Bishopsgate-street,, for the purpose of receiving
report. from the directors upon the progress of the
saltine. .Sr. ThumsOnl-lauliey in the chair..
.The report stated that the number,of shares applied
for was 128,71.7, but as there were only 12,000 to be
issued, only that number was allotted, and, the deposits
ivere paid• upon 11,245, yielding 28,1121. 103. The lines
surireyed with the branches .and turn-outs were much
longer, than was contemplated in the first instance; but
on the Other hand; however; the traffic was found to be
greater than . wa,s estimated, and amply
goinPnsakci. for ,the increased outlay while. the
Cost of the,lines would not exceed 9,400/. It was pro-
posed; to,apply for an: act., of incorporation from. the.
Crown, and negotiations would be:entered into with the.
local governinent for obtaining
.commensurate advan-
tages in return for the benefit to be conferred by the
railway on the island. The receipts amounted to
.28,642/. 11s. 6d.,
.while the expenditure .reached
1-1,0621. 7s. 2d.; leaving a balance of
.14,0621. 7s. 2d., of
which 13,516/. 13s. B,d: was invested in Exchequer-bills..
Dr. Bowing said he highly apii.io'l.red of the report
and :11ould therefore move its adoption.
Mr. Moxom seconded .the !notion ; but he thought
'soino explanation ought to be given as to the negotia-
tions going on with the local government.
After a ew,Words from the Chairman,
The resolution was:pnt and unanimously agreed to.

MR. COBDEN AT SEVILLE.
(From the 'Manchester Guardian.)
We have been favoured with. a copy of the Diario' de,
&villa, of the 4th itiStant, from which- se learn that;
several merchants, landowners, and
Saville,public functionaries;
gave athiaiquet to lit Cobden,on the. 2d inst.:
The chair was taken by Senor Miguel Chaeony D;iflY
director, 'of the Economibitociety- of Seville, seven
members of which were present. Senor Chicon pro-!
pQeilthe toast, of COliclen ;Mid the application ofi
his ideas to the economical state of Spain." Mr; Cobden'
replied to the r folloWing. effeot in English, which Was
translated by Senor Alberto Prats y Soler :--- • - •
Gentlemen;, I :.ieturn you myAnost sincere -thanks,
for the kind reception which you have given me in the:
beautiful capital of Andalucia.." I atii aware that, per-i
sonally;.liini not -entitled to the consideration with which!
You .so .generOutly.treat me.. . I have, however, had
_,the.
pleasing satisfaction of finding at Seville .4 great numb4r,
of enlightened, individuals,- who Share 'those principles.
of which I have sought to be the' interpreter. As I have
altehdy- thanlied you for 'the cxpression of yoUr kind-:
ness, scarcely anything remains Thr me to say. If Thad;
been. a Spaniard, 1 should have. given you the :trouble. of
listening to a long speech. I should have-endeavoured!
to show that free trade would' Confer the greatest bene-.
fits on this country; that it would cause activity in your
ports and alarketi,- that it. would enrich your agricul-
ture, and that it would render:your finances proSperous.
I shOuld haie inculcated the moral advantages which re-
sult from the mutual communication of nations. I could
have drawn you a very lively picture of the pacific bene-
fits which would ensue from the general adoption of the
principles of tree trade. I could have demonstrated to
you that natibrs greatly differing frOrti each other, if it
were possible for them to communicate their ideas, lay-
ing aside .their mutual prejudices, would gain extraor-
dinarily by the acquisition of information which would
be useful to the country, and would increase its enlight-
enment. I should enlarge with pleasure on these prin-
ciples. were I a Spaniard; buf,,its anEnglishman, I think.
it more delicate to leave the defence of them to Spa-
niards, in order that I may not'be blikeed for seeking to
propagate, beyond my own country, doctrines of which
the advantages are- sufficiently knovin. helieVe, • hbw-
ever, that, in. this. enlightened assembly, there are per-
sons who, with the eloquence natural to their nation,
will know. how.. to 'defend SuCcessfUlly theie' princi-
ples of humanity and.philanthrophy upon which it is not
allowable for me to expatiate: Lam glad that after I have
communicated my sentiments to you, you will.responelto
them. by showing the-state 'of the eotintry, and'the appli-
cations of my doctrines of which it is capable, which it
is not for.me to eiplain. .illns.diatreltisiOn, I would wish to
propose a toast in favour of Andalucia ; but I experience
a diffiCulty, in finding one in'a Country privileged by
nature, and abounding in every kind of produce. What
can I desire for this country ? A single thing is want-
ing to double its wealth—freedom of trade: Let us
drink to its attainment." Other toasts, amongst which
were the bealths of the ladies' of
Seville, and of Mr.
SChwabe,.Mr. Cobden's travelling
companion, were pro-
posed and drunk; land several speeches were delivered by
Senores de los Rios Frets y Soler, and other gentlemen.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sin,-7-Observing in your paper of this evening a para-
graph, as from . a correspondent, respecting
a meeting
held last evening in the Southgate-road for the purpose
of establishing an improved investment and building
society, so much at variance with the truth, I cannot help
calling your attention to the subject.
I beg respectfully,to inform yoli!that the meeting was
a full one, and highly respectable, and every question
answered to .'the entire; satisfaction- of every perion
present ; indeed, so much so that the person who:asked
the most pertinent questions subscribed for eight shares,
and the greatest difficulty was: experienced by three
gentlerden in taking down the names of members ;- and
the result was that from 100 to. 150- shares were sub-
Scribed for before the room was closed.

I am perfeCtly aware of your love of justice, and have,
therefore, taken the opportunity of showing how you
have been imposed upon by some person calling himself
" a correspondent." , • ,
I am, Sir, yours respectfully,

A DUTCH PICTURE.—As the day got on, and the
canals closed in, a more varied range pf objects presented .
itself to relieve the monotony. • Huge, dreamylooking,
cows—dappled and white, and-orange-brown—laying
" their happy lengths along" in meadows, just as Paul
Potter painted them, with a willow or so for background;
and peeping 'above. that,' the sail of a barge, in some
water-path not seen.; small farm-houses, each with a
fart of trimmed trees pressed against its face:--pretty and
• cool enough to look at, in such blazing weather, but
which, under a gloomy, spongy sky, must, methinks,
make a house unaccountably dismal and unhealthy.

GOLD VERSUS STEEL.—The tool which the Emperor
Napoleon used to coerce Spain was the sword. Alas! it
is now—blunt.—Puna. _

GOVERNMENT Wouxs IN GUERNSEY.—The slight
and parenthetical Manner in which the intention of her
Majesty's Government to construct extensive works-in
Guernsey was announced at the last meeting of the
States, caused the value of that fact to be less perfectly
appreciated than it would have been had it been more
emphatically exposed to the public. The importance of
this fact can scarcely be over-estimated. The works upon
Which Gevernment have determined, will, we believe; be
Of the most,extensive nature, involving an outlay in this
island of at least 500,0001. The plan, we believe, em-
braces the construction of stupendous breakwaters so as
to form a naval harbour between Fermain Bay and the
Terres Point, with magazines and Other requisite
buildings, together with barracks, in the .vicinity, of
Fort George, for the accommodation Of several thou-
sand men, whilst defensive works will 'also be esta-
bliShed at the Vale, a.nd,at Jetiuk or 'Brehon. These
works, while in course Of construction, will occasion
au immense, eipenditure. in.. labour alone, and the
wages. of
,this labotir will; of course, ' be.-chiefly ex-
' pended amongst the tradesmen and farmers of the island,
so that our commerce and agriculture :will receive an
infusion of new life, and be restored to that .healthful
vigour to which they-have so 'long beenT itrangetse and
houses and lands may again acquire something riTie
former value. Nor will the completion,.of •the works
bring a termination to this state of things.' On the con-
trary, it will make it, permanent. With an extensive
naval harbour, and barracks for a large military force,
there will. be ie crews of ships, and troops, whose ex-
penditure will fertilize the island, givinguctivity to all
branches of industry, and adding sensibly. to the- local
revenue. -Moreover, the completion of the works in
question, and-the formation of the establishments which
must be connected 'with' them, will give Guernsey an
importance whith it 'has never hitherto pcsseised, and,
perhaps invest it with those attraction's -to visitors in
which it at present. is wanting; Another immense, ad-
vantage will be, that in case of War persons would, feel
,perfectly secure in remaining in the Wand, ,as -the de..
fences which it will pOesess would effectually guarantee
it against a coup de main,
.the only danger to which .it I
'could at any time be exposed, and consequently `it would:
not be, depopulated, as it now would be, if hestilitiee:were
to take place.--Guernsey Star. ,
CURE FOR RABBITS.—I was once informed. that`;
rabbits have a-dislike to treading ppen. a newly tnrnedsup
soil—(says a correspondent of ihe Gardener's Chronicle)
—I thought I would give the thing.a trial..., Five. ,rows of
young cauliflower plants were put in vilwe rabbits were
knOwn'to be; the plants were allowed to remain undis-
turbed for the first two nights after. they -were planted;
on the third morning a few -plants were atlstrofed, tin the
evening of that day the ground was' disturbed 'with a
Dutch hoe; the next .morning when OEI were'eXiaiiiied,
all the plants were safe;' the hoeing was continued for
some time, until the plants 'were well taken with -the
ground, and when that is -the case they are seldom eaten
by rabbits, unless they are very numerous and provi.eions
short. The hoeing may be
.done in a few moment's in
the evening, and, besides' keeping off the rabbits, is a
benefit to the plants.
AMERICAN SODA Mscurrs.--A new article. of im-
port has recently
.been brought into . this country from
America, called soda, biscuits. Several shipments have
been made, but as yet the demand exceeds the. Supply.
The biscuits are made very light—about twenty to the
pound, are of excellent quality, eating, as fresh as if they
had just left the oven. They are retailed in Liverpool
at 6d. per lb. - but as the supply has hitherto been chiefly
from one baker; a higher price his been obtained than
they could be supplied at were there competition. We
are informed than the maker of them has found the specu-
lation so profitable that he has resolved to. build six large
ovens to extend his trade. So far he has been able to
keep the business in his own hands ; but we learn that
several English bakers have resolved to try the experi-
ment ; and when it is stated that one barrel of flour will
make three barrels of biscuits, and' that the freight of a
barrel of biscuits and a barrel Of flour are the same, there
seems to be every 'reason to think that they-will success-
fully compete with the American maker ; and When it
is known in the States 'that their biscuits are a profit-
able shipment, there will be more general supplies, and
consequent reduction in price. Liverpool Courier.
CITY INSPECTORS OF WEIGHTS AND MEASURES.—
The labours of these very useful functionaries are alto-
gether suspended for the present,' in coliseqUenee of a
defect in their appointment, arising from a singular over-
sight of the Corporation law officer; and all their.pre-
ceedings since they began to exercise their Official duties
are rendered, ii all probability, null and void; and the
Corporation authorities are in ne stnall trepidation lest
the numerous persons who, on the prosecution of, these
inspectors, have paid fines and Costs, should claim a
restoration of the money of whiCh they have been
'mulcted without. the requisitions of the law being .duly
complied with, and as 'part of the corporation
funds, have been so Cieditably and usefully employed in
" trips to Ireland," visits to Oxford,,Lord Mayor's show,
and other civic recreations. Connected with the duties
of these inspectors, it is; howe'Ver, a remarkable fact, and
greatly to the credit of the London Corporation, com-
posed as it is for the most part of retail tradesinen, that
not one of the aldermen or common councilmen has been
'charged with an infraction of the minor morality of
.giving just weight and measure since the iaspectors (ap-
pointed by the Corporation) began their office 'in the
City.
The new issue of shares on the York and New-
castle Railway will realise a capital of 3,975,000/. The
-new issue of shares on the York and North Midland
Railway will realise a further capital of 1,573,7501.
Taking the whole commercial community at this
moment, including the railway world, we believe there
has been less speculation during the last six months_
than for a long time, and that the business done has
been more of a bon( fide description for immediate con-
sumption. A strong evidence of this has been the 'readi-
ness with which buyers, in most branches of business,
have discounted their purchases, instead of giving ac-
ceptances, as usual, and which has been one of the best
ascertained causes for the recent scarcity of bills. "
MARINE AIONSTER.—An exceedingly large and
fine specimen of "sea-devil" was taken lately at Tian-
I mere. A working man -on the beach observed it first,
and, on approaching it with several others as it lay half
immersed in the receding tide, it made towards him in a
savage manner, but was disabled by the blow of a boat-
hook. One of the men put his spade into its open
mouth, which it seized, and held with such tenacity as to
admit of its being drawn ashore by the shaft of the im-
pleinent. Its head is about three feet four inches in
breadth, and four feet eight inches in length. Its mouth.
is of a semicircular shape, about a foot in length, and is
armed with triple 'rows of sharp teeth. The cavity of
the' mouth is large enough to contain, at least, two gallons
of water. On the top of the head was a row pf horns,
and the eyes, which were of a very luminous nature,
projected an inch and a half. It bad two pairs, of
powerful fins, two at the side and two underneath. Its
body was about two feet six inches in length, and only
about six inches in breadth. A more hideous looking
monster it is scarcely possible to conceive.-Liverpool

TESTIMONIAL TO MR. THOMAS WARLEY, M.P.—
On Monday evening a public meeting was held at the
large room of the Angel Inn, Islington, to consider what
steps ought to be taken by the inhabitants of Finsbury
" to mark their approbation of the great services of Mr.
Wakley, especially in the late investigation at Houn-
slow, when his firmness and consideration so materially
tended to mitigate the horrors of the flogging system."
Dr. Lynch was called to the chair, and suggested that
as the meeting was so very thinly attended, there should
be an adjournment to a- future day. The secretary, Mr.
Curzon, read letters from Mr. Collett, M.P., Mr. T. Dun-
combe, M.P., Dr. Bowring, M.P., Mr. Douglas Jerrold,
and many other gentlemen, inclosing subscriptions, and
expressive of their desire to co-operate in the movement.

A DUCHESS MADE AMENABLE TO THE GAME-
Lews.—A paragraph in the papers recently announced
that the Duke of Marlborough was accompanied in a
shooting excursion by his lately married Duchess, and
that the latter personally took part in the amusement of
the day, and with her own hand killed several head of
game. Of the fact there is, we apprehend, no doubt;
but it has been followed up by consequences little ap-
prehended at the time. Informations, it would seem,
have been lodged against the Duchess for shooting with-
out a license. It is supposed that this unusual step,
which, if followed up, must in all probability lead to a
conviction, has been adopted 'in retaliation for some
severe measures recently taken by the Duke to punish
certain trespassers upon his manorial rights.—Country

A PROTRACTED COLD BATlL—Yesterday a person
of the name of Wurd, in order to exhibit the effect of
some newly-invented apparatus made of cork, for the
purpose of enabling persons to float on the water and
use their limbs with ease, swam for a considerable period
in the river, about Westhainster-bridge. Ire afterwards
attempted to swam to Hurgerford-bridgc, but before he
yeached it, ho became so much exhausted by, cold and
by his exertions, that he ine unable to help himself,
and it required the 'most • vigorous exertions of the men
in the boat attending on him to save his life. After he
was taken out of the watert hd plaCeEl' in bed, various
restoratives were applied, but two hours elapsed -before
be was so far recovered as to be pronounced out of im-
mediate danger. • , -- •

PUBLIC WORKS.-LABOURERS.

DUBLIN, Nov. 17.—The Clare Journal received to-day
contains the following :
" ENNIS, Nov. 16.—At the present time men cannot
be procured by the farmers for the purpose of performing
the necessary agriculturl work. We know of some in-
stances where labourers refused to accept of 7s. a week,
'subject to no deductions for days when the weather
would not permit them to work, and preferred to take
their chance of employment on the public roads. The
farmers cannot afford, under existing circumstances, to
give higher wages than the above, and the consequence
is, the land is neglected ; and the evil effects of such
neglect upon the country in the coming year must be
obvious to all.
" We must again revert to the various outrages which
are still being perpetrated throughout the country. Last
week another horse was shot at Carahan, within a short
distance of the police barrack, the property of Mr. J. P.
Malony, of Cregg, on returning home from leaving some
wheat at Ennis mill to be ground into flour for the use
of his family. Another poor man of the name of Whelan,
who had also brought in an ass load of wheat for the
same purpose, had his ass shot at.Cranaher, when re-
turning home.. What is peculiarly distressing with re-
gard to such outrages is the confidence with which these
lawless ruffians perform their deeds of violence, not being
apparently under ,the slightest apprehension of being

"An altercation took place on the 1 1 th, on the new
line of road making to Fooloe, between a man named
M Namara, who had been some time before a gangsman
in charge of a few men, and a man named Lyons, the
gangsman recently placed over him, when M.Namara
struck him two awful blows of a hammer on the head,
which. has placed his life in imminent danger. On hear-
ing of it, Mr. Heard with soma police were soon on the
spot, and made every exertion to find the fellow, but he
had fled. It is believed he has been arrested since,
through that gentleman% exertions, though not as yet
brought in.
" At the late presentment sessions held in this town
for the barony of Islands, a memorial for an ' extra-
ordinary sessions to present for new and reproductive
works,' was forwarded to his Excellency the Lord-Lieu-
tenant. We find by his Excellency's answer that he re-
fuses the prayer of the memorial, on the ground that
there has been already a sum of 17,0001. granted for
works in the barony. The following is the reply which
has been received to the above memorial
" ' Dublin Castle.
" ' Sir,—ln reference to the memorial signed by. you
and other magistrates and cess-payers assembled •at
Ennis at road sessions, requesting that an extraordinary
presentment sessions may be convened for the barony of
Islands, I have the honour to inform you that upwards
of 17,000/, having been already sanctioned for the relief of
destitution in that barony, and which his Excellency the
Lord-Lieutenant trusts will meet the distress which
may be expected to exist during the winter months, his
Excellency does not consider it expedient at the present
moment to convene another session. I have the honour
to be, sir, your most obedient servant,
" T. N. REDINGTON.

The Ainzagh Guardian contains the following :
"Fellows' Hall, Armagh, Nov. 16.
" Sir,—On going up to my church (Killilea) yester-
day morning, I found the accompanying notice posted
on one of the pillars of the churchyard gate. The
only comment I shall make on the document is, that
from my long acquaintance with the peaceable cha-
racter of the inhabitants of this immediate
neighbourhood, I feel satisfied that none of them
have been concerned, in so discreditable a trans-
action, which I would rather ascribe to some of those
itinerant incendiaries who occasionally traverse the
country on their errands of mischief. The corner of
the paper having been torn off before it met my eye,
some words are wanting, but the imagination of your
readers will not be heavily taxed in the attempt to supply
the htatus, to which the previous part of the production
furnithes 5. key.
"I shall only add, that the wording of the document
being so superior to the spelling, the defects in the latter
respcet may be nothing more than a ruse to:render the
fraternity of the act less easy of detection.
I am; Sir, your faithful servant,
" JOHN C. Ii‘CAUSLAND.
