THE JUDGE OF TUE LIVERPOOL

COUNTY
I.yeCsOterUd/ayZ 7;s proceedings
dings PRESTON, Nov. 2
ter-
minated with the reading, by Mr. Ramshay'scomel,
of a number of cases from various law authorities,
bearing more or less upon the disputed points as to
Mr. Ramshay's alleged undue assumption of autho-
rity. None of the cases cited, however, possesses any
interest to the general reader.
This morning the Earl of Carlisle took his seat on
the bench at a quarter past ten, and
Mr. Sergeant Wilkins resumed his address in de-
fence of Mr. Ramshay. In reference to Mr. Ramshay
having been called a briefless barrister, the Learned
Connie' said he had held more briefs in one assize on
the Northern Circuit than had been held by the other
two candidates put together in all their lives. Before
appointing him, Lord Carlisle had written to the
judges of Westminster Hall and to the Queen's Coun-
sel on the Northern Circuit, and every one of them
concurred in saying that Mr. Ramshay was as fit a man
for the office as any one upon the circuit. Upon
that passage of Mr. Ramshay's speech, which stated
that Lord Carlisle had offered him an annuity equal
to the salary he enjoyed as judge, in the event of his
resignation, the Learned Sergeant said it was made
in a spirit of true nobility—not mere nobility of
courtesy, but the nobility of nature. But Mr. Ram-
shay had declared that he would not resign, as long
as one man in Liverpool could wag his finger at him ;
how would his accusers have acted—no doubt they
IN mild have pocketed the thousand a year.
Toe Earl of Carlisle here said—l don't think it
matters much to the purposes of this inquiry, hut
Mr. Ramshay has rather overcoloured my supposed
liberality.

Serge-ant Wilkins then proceeded to contend that
Mr. Ramehay had acted legally up to the point when
he sent his bailiff's by his " order" to bring Mr.
Whitty before him ; and th. latter, by refusing to go,
was guilty of the greatest contempt that could pos-
sibly he committed. He would prove, not only by
the officers ( f the court, but by disinterested wit-
nesses, that persons came into Mr. Ramshay's court
on that day purposely to insult the judge ; and he
cautioned those in London who got their bread and
cheese by writing pasquinades and making other
people laugh, no matter whether the subject
was deserving or undeserving —he cautioned
those people that it was possible to hunt
down even
,a judge. Mr. Ramshay had been the
victim of a combination set on by the Whittys, and
Jefferys, and Gladstones ; and above all, by the nick-
named " Guardian" Society of Liverpool. The me-
morialists had said that the frequency of Mr. Ham-
shay's fines want to show the folly of his conduct, but
he (Sergeant Wilkins) would maintain that they only
showed the frequency of the offences committed in
Mr. Ramshay's court. And yet it was to be expected
that when the man who was the cause of all this was
brought before Mr. Ramshay, and with a stolid coun-
tenance and fixed brow continued to insult the judge,
because that judge made use of some expressions
which upon calm reflection he would not have done,

Ths Learned Sergeant was proceeding with his
argument when our report was dispatched. He is
expected to conclude this evening, and the evidence of
the witnesses will commence to-morrow morning.

ST. ALBAIr' S BRIBERY COMMISSION.

ST. ALBAN'S, WEDNESDAY.—To-day the proceed-
ings before the Commissioners maybe said, with some
observable variations, to have been a rehearsal of the
very original exhibition of yesterday. Again, be-
tween 90 and 100 voters (250, out of a constituency
of 450, having been altogether bribed) were put into
the witness-box, each man's testimony tending to de-
velop a system that is thought to put Sudbury to the
blush. To-day was devoted to bringing up to the bar
of the Commissioners' tribunal the majority of those
who were reluctant to become their own accusers,
and who, naturally enough, were unwilling wit-
nesses. By the aid, however, of whippers'-in,
they were brought at intervals into the court, on
being told, " You received money as well as the
others ; it's no worse for you than for them ; and if
you don't come you are liable to be indicted, and
perhaps in the and imprisoned." In spite of intima-
tions thrown out by the Court to this effect, the of-
cer of the court returned during the day, stating
inability to serve some twenty or thirty persons,
theirwo
do not appear to have the fear of the law before
eyes.
The court was adjourned to to-morrow (Thursday),
escape the Commissioners intimating that to the con-
sequences it was desirable that all parties who had
been summoned to disclose the truth should attend
and give their evidence. It
is understood to be the
intention of the Commissioners
inecessary,
more com-
pletely
to adjcurn to-morrow

Paris is about at par (according.): to the new tariff), which,
at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. Mid. per ounce for
standard gold, gives au exehonge of 2 ).17 ; and the ex-
change at Paris on London at short being 25.221, it follows
that gold is about 0.22 per cent. dearer in London tfhanoian
