TIPPERARY BANK,

Mr. BOWYER called the attention of the Govern•
went to certain observations made by the Master of the
Bolls for Ireland on Tuesday last in the case of the Tip-
perary Bank, wherein that learned gentleman expressed
surprise at the Government allowing the case to go on
without the interference of the Government, and attri-
buting gross clirelection of duty and connivance on the
part of the Government in reference to this case.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL for IRELAND said
that he had seen the statement referred to. He bad
communicated with the Crown Solicitor, and had in-
structed him to make inquiries in order that be (the At-
torney-General) might act promptly and decisively in the
matter if found correct. (Rear.)

OATII OF ABJURATION BILL.

Mr. M. GIBSON moved the third reading of this bill.
Sir F. THESIGER moved, in clause 2, to leave out
all the words from the beginning of line 7, down to end
of line 14, and to insert these words :—" I, A. B. do
truly and sincerely acknowledge, profess, testify, and
declare in my conscience before God and the world that
our Sovereign Lady Queen Victoria is lawful and
rightful Queen of this realm, and of all other her Ma-
j esty's dominions andnountries thereunto belonging. And I
do swear that I will bear faith and true allegiance to
her Majesty Queen Victoria, and her will defend to the
utmost of my power against all traitorous conspiracies
and attempts whatsover which shall be made
against her person, Crown, or dignity. And I
will do my utmost utmost endeavour to disclose
and make known to her Majesty and her successors all
treasons and traitorous conspiracies which I shall know
to be against her or any of them. And Ido faithfully
promise to the utmost of my power to maintain, support,
and defend the succession of the Crown against all
persons whatsoever, which succession, by an act in-
tituled "An act for the further limitation of the Crown
and better securing the rights and liberties of the sub-
ject, is and stands limited to the Princess Sophia, Elec.
toress and Duchess Dowager of Hanover, and the heirs
of her body, being Protestants. And all these things I
do plainly and sincerely acknowledge and swear aword-
ing to these express words by me spoken, and accord-
ing to the plain and common sense and understanding
of the same words, without any equivocation,
mental evasion, or secret reservation whatsoever ' • and
I do make this recognition, acknowledgment, and pro-
mise, heartily, willingly, and truly, upon the true faith
of a Christian. So help me God." His object in mov-
ing this amendment was to arrest a step which, accord-
ing to his view, would be of the most serious detriment
to the public interest, and to bring the oath of abjura-
tion back to what it substantially was, and had existed
without objection for 150 years, omitting from it those
portions which were considered objectionable on the
ground of their having ceased in their application. The
hon. and learned gentleman then proceeded to address
the house at some length, using the arguments that
have already been urged both in and out of Parliament
against this bill.

[LEFT SITTING.]

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—June 7.

GUILDHALL.—Wm. Long and George Bell, the
landlords of several houses in Plumtree•court, Holborn,
and Timothy Dillon, James Cotter, Patrick Collins,
Samuel Smith, Patrick Lee, and Margaret Neale, the
occupiers, were summoned before Sir R. W. Carden by
the Commissioners of Sewers, to answer the complaint
of overcrowding the houses in question to such an extent
as to render them dangerous and prejudicial to the health
of the inhabitants.

Dr. Letheby was called, and said that, as medical offi-
cer of health for the City of London, he visited several
houses in Plumtree•court on the 21st of May last. I❑
a small room on the ground floor, in No. 6, he found
three beds, in which two men, five women, and five
children tad been sleeping. The cubic capacity of the
room was 967 feet, or less than 100 feet to each person,
instead of 300 cubic feet. The room was also without
ventilation and in a very dilapidated state. Long said
he let the room to Collins with strict injunctions not to
take any other lodgers.
Mrs. Collins, in her husband's absence, attended, and
said there were only three single women besides her
husband and herself in the room, and she thought there
was no harm in having that number ; but when she got
notice, she turned all her lodgers away.
The Alderman expressed an opinion that the present
proceedings could not be carried on against Long.
Mr. Tyrrell said, under those circumstances, he
should proceed against Long under another act of Par-
liament immediately.
Sir R. W. Carden said the public health must be at-
tended to, and it was such men as Long and Collins that
encouraged this state of things. He therefore made the
order to abate the nuisance, and fined Collins 405., or in
default of sufficient distress, one month's imprisonment.
The next case was that of a house rented by George
Ball, and the number of persons lodging in the house
amounted to 70, consisting of 12 men, 19 women, and
32 children ; and in the upper part of the house the oc-
cupants slept on the floor, without beds to lie upon.
One of the defendants was fined 406., or 14 days' im-
prisonme .t, and the remainder 40s. each, or one mouth's
imprisonment. The warrants of distress to be held over
for the nuisance to be abated.

BOW-STREET.—Mr. D welly, solicitor to the Board
of Inland Revenue, appeared to conduct a charge against
Messrs. White and Fairchild, of High-street, Borough,
wholesale grocers, for selling coffee adulterated with
caramel or burnt sugar. Mr. White, the senior partner,
attended for the firm.

Evidence was given of the purchase, by John
Nicholls, an Excise officer, of 11b. of a "mixture of chi-
csry and coffee." which, on being analysed by Mr.
M 1 Ribbon, one of the chemists to the board, and Mr.
G. Phillips, the Government chemist, was found to con-
tain nearly 20 per cent, of caramel.
Mr. White said he had for many years been in the
habit of using caramel in roasting coffee, without the
slightest notion that it was contrary to law: He also
concluded that the estimate was erroneous—there was
only ten per cent, of caramel. He produced two samples
of coffee to show how the colour was affected by the
caramel, and maintained that its use improved the coffee,
givicg it more strength and body, and was not injurious,
but advantageous to the Excise, on account of the quan-
tity of sugar used.

The chemical witnesses expressed themselves positively
as to the accuracy of the analysis.
Dr. D welly observed twat the printed directions issued
ly the board and repeatedly given to the defendant
strictly forbade the use of caramel, or any colouring
matter whatever.

Mr. Henry convicted the defendant, and inflicted the
full penalty of 1001.

CLERKENWELL.—AIfred Jackson and Robert
Lister, the latter a cabman, were placed at the bar be-
fore Mr. Tyrwhitt, charged with burglariously breaking
and entering the warehouse of Mr. W. Cook, a fancy
trimming and silk manufacturer, of Nos. 25 and 26,
Banner-street, S. Luke's, and stealing therefrom a
large quantity of Bengal, China, and other silk, in
twistg, of the value of 2501., under the following cir-
cumstances :

Poice-constable John Jones, 242 K, said he was on
duty in Es,ex-street, Bethnal-green road, at a little before
five that morning, when he saw a cab driving rapidly
up the street, both prisoners being upon the box. They
drove along the Old Bethnal-green-road to the Barley
Mow beer-shop. They saw that he was watching
them, and then they drove away, but came back again
in about ten minutes. He then ran alongside
of the cab, and upon looking inside of it, and
seeing a large quantity of raw bilk there, he told the
cabman to stop. He asked him where ho had taken his
fare from, when Lister said that Jackson had called him
in St. Luke's, and he and another man had told him to
drive to the Bethnal-green-road. He then took them
to the Arbour-square station-house, and afterwards went
with the cabman to the house of the prosecutor.
William Knight, of 6, Lisburn-street, a lamplighter,
said he saw the cab drive up to the Barley Mow, when
a man got out from the inside, tapped at the door, and
when be saw that he (witness) was watching him, he
seemed rather confused. He then spoke to the previous
witness, and watched for the cab while he ran after the
man who got out from the inside. Shortly after he saw
the cab return, and was with the policeman when he
stopped the cab.
Mr. Cook said he carried on business in Banner-
street, St. Luke's. That morning he was called up by
the police, and found that his warehouse had been en.
tered, and China and other silk, of the value Of about
2e01., had been stolen.

Police constable Eadds said he was on duty in Ban-
ner-street, when finding the door of the prosecutor's
warehouse open, he called him up, and upon making a
search he found a jemmy, a dark lantern, and some ske-
leton keys. How the thieves had effected an entrance
was for some time a mystery, until he discovered they
had got dow❑ the area grating. They were obliged to
break the door open to get the property. The thieves
had endeavoured to break open the iron safe, but had
failed.

The prisoners were remanded until Thursday next.
