ADVANCES TO IRISH UNIONS.

The following correspondence between the Earl of
Clancarty and Lord John Russell, appears in the
Galway Vindicator of Saturday :
" G-arbally, Oct. 9, 1851.
" My Lord,— ks chairman of a public meeting of
guardians of the poor, from the several poor-law
unions of the province of Connaught, held at BAllina
sloe on the 7th instant, with reference to the repay-
ment of advances made by the Treasury during the
famine, I have the honour of transmitting to your
Lordship a memorial upon the subject, together with
the resolutions upon which it was founded, and which
were unanimously asiented to.

" Your Lord.hip will, I trust, pardon me if I take
this opportunity of remarking to you that the addi-
tional burden which the Consolidated Annuities Act,
if enforced, will throw upon the poor-rates for the
next forty years, will probably have the effect of
disfranchi.ing many ratepayers who, under the re-
cent Act for altering the qualification of Parliamentary
voters, have acquired a right to vote, as, apart from
unwillingness to pay what is considered an unjust
exaction, the poor-rates in some districts will be so
much enhanced by the annuity, that many will be
unable to make the payment of the rate which is the
condition of the franchise.

" Your Lordship, I am sure, cannot wish that the
Irish con.,tituency should be narrowed, or that the
most heavily taxed districts should, through the very
excess of taxation, be unrepresented in Parliament.
Neither can it be desirable that those who, by pay-
ment of rates imposed upon them, acquire the right of
vo,ing, should elect their representatives under the
influence of a feeling that wrong has been done to
them at the hands of the Government.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF CHANCERY, Nov. 3.
ZULUETA V. VINENT.

This appeal motion was partly opened in the be-
ginning of August, and stood open by consent. The
bill was filed to restrain an action at law, com-
menced by the defendant Vinent for the recovery of
the proceeds of a cargo of copper ore consigned by
him to the plaintiff. The Master of the Rolls refused
the injunction, and the motion was now renewed be-
fore his Lordship.
Mr. LLOYD, on the part of the plaintiff, continued
his argument until half-past two o'clock, when his
Lordship rose to attend a Cabinet Council.
The Court sits to-morrow at Lincoln's-inn, and
will continue to do so until.after the meeting of Par-
liament.

Sir F. THESIGER moved for a rule to show cause
why a criminal information should not be filed
against the defendant, the sole proprietor, printer, and
publisher of the Carlisle Journal, for a libel pub-
lished by him in that paper upon the Earl of Loris-
dale. The libel appeared on the 15th of August last,
and when the facts came to be detailed he thought it
would be difficult to say which was most to be won-
dered c—the utter perversion of fact, the excessive
daring, or the scandalous malignity displayed in the
article. Lord Lonsdale had been at various times in
offices of the highest importance in the State, and
had therefore been exposed, as all public men in this
country necessarily were, to very severe animadver-
sions in the newspapers. He felt, however, that he
had only been so exposed, and that it was very im-
portant
that their conduct should be strictly can-
vassed, and that the observations on it should
be made with the utmost liberty by the public
press. He, therefore, never attempted to re-
strain that liberty by any appeal to the
protection of the law, nor would he I on
the present occasion have acted otherwise, or have
done anything but disregard the low scurrilous abuse
which ran through this article, if it had not likewise
contained a most daring attack on his integrity as
lord-lieuteuant of the county in which he resided, and
charged him with an abuse of the trust which had
been delegated to him by his Sovereign, and with
corrupting the source of the administration of justice.
The occasion which had given rise to this libel hardly
seemed equal to the serious consequences which had
resulted from it. The libel arose from circumstances
connected with the Whitehaven workhouse. The
guardians of that parish rented that workhouse, which
was situated in what was called the Preston Quarter,
from Lord Lonsdale. The property in question had
been converted to the purposes of a workhouse during
the time of the late Lord Lonsdale, for which pur-
poses many alterations had been made in the original
building, and a rent of 851. was reserved and paid, a
sum which did not amount to more than 5 per cent.
on the original and the additional outlay. The ques-
tion of enlarging or rebuilding the workhouse had
been under the consideration of the guardians since
1842, and in the beginning of 1850 there was a meet-
ing of the guardians, and a committee was appointed
to take these different matters into consideration.
That committee was instructed to negotiate with the
lord-lieutenant for the purchase of the house. Lord
Lonsdale's interest in the house was but trifling, for
the property in the house was vested in trustees, and
he himself had but a life interest in it. His pecuniary
interest, therefore was but small. When the proposal
for the purchase was made, Lord Lonsdale, on the
advice of his agent, asked for a sum equivalent to
thirty years purchase on the rent of 851., and he asked
a sum of 400/. for an additional piece of land. It was
perfectly immaterial for the present purpose whether
the price so demanded was exorbitant or moderate ;
hut upon this point it might be mentioned that in the
January preceding, Lord Lonsdale, acting on the ad.
vice of the same agent, had purchased property im-
mediately adjoining the spot in question at a higher
rate than he bad thus demanded for his proporty.
The guardians at a meeting held in November, 1850.
unanimously resolved that Lord Lonsdale's proposal
should not be accepted, so that his Lordship believed
that the whole affair of the purchase was at an end,
and he thought nothing more of the matter until
the 14th of March, 1851, when he received a letter
from a
person named Fox, who represented himself
as acting for the board of guardians, requesting to
known what sum he would take for the workhouse
and the additional land. Lord Lonsdale, desiring
to meet the wishes of the vestry, directed that
a smaller sum than before should be asked
as the price. In order to complete this part of the
history of the case, it might be mentioned that on
the 27th of March, 1851, the guardians entered into
a negotiation for the purchase of another piece of
land at Toodend, and the two negotiations were going
on togethei: On the Ist of May, 1851, it was pro-
posed in the vestry that the property at Woodend
should be Purchased but utt Amendment was carrie‘:

" These considerations, I think, warrant me in ex-
pressing to your Lordship an earnest request that the
rates designed for the relief of the poor may not be
impounded to reimburse to the Treasury the advances
made during the famine until after a full inquiry, as
prayed for in the accompanying memorial, before
Committees of the two Houses of Parliament

" I have the honour to be,
" CLANCARIT.
" The Right Hon. Lord John Russell, &c."
" Garbally, Oct. 25, 1851.
" My Lord,—Not having hitherto received any ac-
knowledgment of a letter I had the honour of ad
dressing to your Lordship, transmitting a memorial
from the guardians of the poor of the several poor-law
unions of the province of Connaught, agreed to at a
public meeting at which I presided on the 7ch inst. at
B dlinasloe, I rt spectfully request that you will do me
the favour of informing me whether the memorial was
received, as the subject to which it relates is one of
much interest in this province, and especially to those
who have to administer the poor-law, and many have
applied to me to know whether any, and what answer
has been returned to it.

" I pray your Lordship to excuse this intrusion
and to believe me, your very faithful servant,
" The Lord J. Bus iell, &e." " CLANCARTT.
"Dawning-street, Oct. 27, 1851.

"My Lord,—l received —your letter of the 9th
instant, together with a memorial from the guardians
of the poor of the several poor•law unions of the pro-
vince of Connaught.
" The memorid has been under the consideration
of the Board of rreasury. A Treasury minute has
been issued on the subject of the repayment of the
loans advanced in various parts of Ireland. As I
feared a simple acknowledgment of your letter might
be complained of, as it has been in other cases, I have
waited t'll the Government could make a decision on
the subject.

" I have no doubt your Lordship has seen the
minute of Treasury, by which the Poor-law Com-
missioners will be guided till the meeting of Parlia-
ment.

"I remain, my Lord, your Lordship's obedien
servant, (Signed) " J. RUSSELL.

COURT OF APPEAL IN CHANCERY, Nov. 3.
The Lord Justices, Sir J. K. Bruce and Lord
Cranworth sat to-day in the court formerly occupied
by the Vice-Chancellor of England, and heard appeal
motions.

THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. THE CORPORATION or

NORWICR.
This was an information against the corporation
filed for an injunction to restrain them from applying
the funds of the borough to defray the expenses of an
Act of Parliament, which the corporation propose to
obtain, in order that they may deepen, widen, and
improve that part of their river which flows between
Norwich and Yarmouth. The relators allege that the
corporation have have no power to devote the borough
funds to such a purpose unless there is a surplus, and
the corporation contend, in answer, that the improve-
ment they contemplate is within the scope and meaning
of the 92d section of the Municipal Corporation Act,
and for the benefit of the ratepayers, and the ultimate
diminution of the rates. The Vice-Chancellor Shad-
well, before whom the matter was heard, granted the
injunction, and the corporation now moved to dis-
charge the order, which, as they contend, is an im-
pediment to a great public improvement.
Mr. Stuart, Mr. Lee, and Mr. Brooksbank are for
the appeal ; Mr. Walker and Mr. Rogers contra.
Mr. STUART was heard until half-past three.
The Lord Justice K. BRUCE, at that hour, thought
the Court had better adjourn, unless Mr. Stuart felt
an anxiety to conclude his argument.
Mr. STUART readily accepted his Lordship's pro-
posal to adjourn, but suggested that the adjournment
should be until some time a little later than ordinary.
Their Lordships were, it was understood, to sit in the
new hall of Lincoln's-inn, but the notice had been so
short that it was feared the arrangements could not be
completed by ten o'clock on Tuesday morning.
The Lord Justice BRUCE observed that the judges
must look on Mr. Stuart, from his connexion with
the inn, as being in some measure their host, and
therefore under his directions.
Mr. STUART so far accepted the honour as to sug-
gest that it would be convenient if their Lordships
sat at eleven o'clock to-morrow (Tuesday) morning,
instead of ten.
The LORD JUSTICE had the assent of his brother
Lord Cranworth in saying that there could be no
objection to that arrangement. His Lordship added,
that it must be also understood that the court would
not sit for .the present after three o'clock.
Mr. STUART hoped the appeal motion would take
precedence of other business to. morrow.
Lord Justice BRUCE, after consulting with Lord
Cranworth, said their Lordships conceived it better to
hear the motion to a conclusion, but they were of
opinion that. the Court ought then to proceed with the
business set down on the paper of the day.
Their Lordships then rose.
The eleven Queen's Counsel. named in our report
elsewhere took their places within the bar at the sit-
ting of the Court.
The separate sittings of the Lords Justices took the
profession somewhat by surprise, as there was a very
general impression that the Legislature intended to
form one effective court of appeal, composed of the
Lord Chancellor and his two subordinates. The
reason given for the separate sittings is, that the Lord
Chancellor wishes to reduce the very heavy arrear of
appeals as much as possible before his time is de-
manded for the hearing of appeals in the House of
Lords. The object, whatever might be its effect, is
no doubt most desirable, and within the powers given
him by the Act of Parliament.

VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, Nov. 3.
(11,fore Vice-Chancellor Sir J. PARKER.)
The newly-appointed Vice Chancellor took his
seat in a court temporarily fitted up in one of the
committee-rooms opposite Henry Vll.'s Chapel. A
large concourse of spectators, professional and others,
were assembled to witness the ceremony. His Honour
was attended by Master Blunt, who, after shaking
hands with the new Vice-Chancellor and bowing, re-
tired from the bench.
ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. CROFT.—TAE PARISH CHURCH

Or 7RAJAPTON.ON-3EVERN, GLOUCESTERSHIRE.
Mr. HALLETT applied that this case might be ap-
pointed for some day next week, to be spoken to on
further directions, the minutes having been agreed to
in June last. The scheme had been prepared and ap-
provel of, by which legacies had been appropriated to
the purchase of communion plate, of a damask
cloth for the communion-table, and for railing in the
church.

Ili3 HONOUR ordered the case to be mentioned
again on Wednesday next.
(Before Vice-Chancellor KuIDEESLEY.)
Hii lion ,ur Vice-Chancellor Kinderaley took his
seat in the court of the late Vice Chancellor Lurd
Cran worth.

His HONOUR disposed of several unopposed mo-
tions; but owing to the lateness of the hour at which
the court was opened, no case of any importance was
mentioned.

TUESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 4, 1851.

to the effect that negotiations should be entered into
with Lord Lonsdale, to ascertain how, and on what
terms, the possession of the property at Preston
Quarter could be obtained. It was now necessary to
turn to other matters which were important, as bear-
ing on the libel of which Lord Lonsdale complained.
Lord Lonsdale received from the Rev. Mr. Senhouse
a letter, on the 12th of December, 1840, in which
that gentleman represented that since the Rev. Mr.
Featherstone had quitted Maryport, no petty sessions
could be held, in consequence of there being no two
magistrates in that neighbourhood, and the present
incumbent having declined to become a magistrate,
the writer was induced to mention Mr. Lawson, the
eldest son of Sir Wilfred Lawson, as a gentleman in
every way qualified to be put in the commission. On
the 15th December Lord Lonsdale wrote an answer
to this letter, in which he observed that it was not
usual to ask for the commission for a county to be
opened in order that one name might be inserted in
it, and that in truth there was a necessity for creating
several more magistrates, and he therefore asked Mr.
Senhouse, as he had asked several other gentlemen, to
mention to him the names of different persons whom
he believed to be properly qualified to act as justices
of the peace for the county. Lord Lonsdale now
stated that, acting on the advice of others, as well
as upon his own knowledge, he had been induced to
recommend twenty-nine gentlemen to the Lord
Chancellor as persona to be added to the commission.
Tne recommendation was instantly adopted by the
Lord Chancellor, who informed him that a commis-
sion would be prepared accordingly ; but before it
was prepared the inhabitants petitioned that the
name of the Rev. Octavius James might be added to
the rest, and his name was sent up to the Lord
Chancellor, and was inserted in the commission. Ofl
all these thirty gentlemen there was but one who
had applied to be put into the commission, and
that was a gentleman who had complained of the
omission of his name when the former commis-
sion had been issued. The Learned Counsel added
that he had the affidavit of a magistrate of many
years' standing, who set forth the absolute
necessity that there had been for this addition to
the magistracy ; for that the population of the
place was larger ; it was opposite the coast of Ireland ;
it was liable to immigrations of Iriih paupers ; and in
1850 about 12,000 of them had come within magis-
terial and police jurisdiction. The letter also showed
that the number of magistrates had been 33, but that
it had been reduced by deaths and changes of resi-
dence to 22, of which 22 the attendance was very
indifferent; so that though there were five meetings
of petty sessions every week, only two out of the 22
performed the duty; and it frequently happened that
the business was obliged to be suspended or adjo.irned
for want of magistrates to conduct it. For the rea-
sons thus set forth, and for no other, Lord Lonsdale
inserted in his letter of recommendation the names of
12 persons within the district of Whitehaven. Only
six of these qualified at the following April sessions,
and of these six two had been elected guardians of the
poor. At that time Lord Lonsdale did not know that
the qualifying magistrates became ex officio guardians
of the poor of the parish or union in which they
acted as magistrates; and although he held one-sixth
of the rateable property of the place, he was not
then a guardian. He had since, however, become a
magistrate and a guardian. The libel of which he
now complained attributed to him that he selected
these gentlemen to be magistrates because he knew
that they would thereby become ex-officio guardians,
that they were creatures of his own, and were chosen
with the understanding that they would do his bid-
ding, and would vete for the purchase of the work-
house from him. It was this of which he complained,
for he disregarded the rest of the article; but when
he was accused of thus corruptly misusing the trust
which his Sovereign had placed in him, he felt that
he was bound to apply to the Court for its interfe-
rence; and in doing so he negatived, in the most ex-
press terms, the imputations which it conveyed. The
Learned Counsel was proceeding to read and com-
ment on the libel, when

Lord CAMPBELL said that the article imputed a
grave offence to a high officer in the discharge of his
duty, he had distinctly denied the imputation, and
the rule must be granted.
Rule to show cause granted.
TUCKER V. THE PROPRIETORS OF THE BRISTOL AND

EXETER RAILWAY.

Mr. A. J. STEPHENS moved for a rule to show
cause why the defendants in this case should not be
ordered to take up an award which had been made in
a reference where they were parties. The Learned
Counsel stated that the facts of the dispute and the
reference, and the making of the award, and then ob-
served that the Act under which the arbitration took
place was so worded that the plaintiff was not autho-
ri.ed to take up the award; but the right to do so
was vested in the defendants alone, who, by refusing
to take it up, prevented the plaintiff from obtaining
what was justly due to him.
The COURT granted the rule to show cause.

BAIL COURT. Nov 3.
(Sittings in Belle°, before Mr. Justice Ear.E.)
His Lordship did not enter the court until a few
minutes before two o'clock. The business disposed
of was of no interest or importance.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Nov. 3.
(Sittings in Banco.) _ -

This being the first day of term, their Lordships
breakfasted with the Lord Chancellor. The Court
,at at about half-past one. The Court consisted of
the Lord Chief Baron, Barons Parke, Alderson, and
Platt.
Mr. Willis having been appointed to the office of
" Tubman" to the Court, to which the privilege of
moving before Queen's counsel is attached, made the
first motion on the sitting of the Court.
In the course of the afternoon the several gentle-
men who have recently been appointed Queen's coun-
sel presented themselves to the Court, and were called
within the bar by the Lord Chief Baron.

and on this account, therefore, it would grant a
divorce.

PREROGATIVE COURT, Nov. 3.
(Before Sir H. JENNER FUST.)
WILLIAMS V. WARD.
In this case it is sought to prove the last will and
testament of the late Robert Watson, Esq., of 15,
Old Cavendish-street. The will was dated January
25, 1850, and was propounded by Mr. Williams, one
of the executors named therein ; and Mr. Ward
(one of the executors named in a former will) op-
poses its validity. The arguments were only in part
heard.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
GUILDHALL.

John Tinabelin was placed at the bar before Alder-
man Lawrence, upon the charge of stealing four
fowls, two ducks, and a brace of partridges, value los.,
the property of his employer.
Mr. James Herbert Cooke said—l am a poulterer,
carrying on business on Holborn-hill. Prisoner was
in my service. On Saturday he was going out of the
shop, when I observed something sticking out of one
of his trousers' pockets, and called him back, and
asked him what he had concealed there ? He said
" Only a duck ;" which he immediately produced.—
(Laughter.) I then asked him if he had anything
else, when he put his hand into the other pocket and
brought out this fowl.—(Laughter.) I then de-
manded if that was all ? but, to my astonishment, he
put his hand into his trousers again and produced
another duck, and then another fowl.—(Great
laughter). I repeated my inquiry, when be plunged
his hand again into his capacious trousers and drew
forth a brace of partridges.—(Renewed laughter.) I
thought that, like the man at the theatre who dis-
played such a partiality for waistcoats, he would
never stop, and was about to call in a constable to
have him searched, when he, for the last time, made
another dive into his unmentionables and brought
forth two more fowls.—(Roars of laughter.)
Alderman LAWRENCE—Are those the fowls and
ducks ? Prosecutor—Yes, sir, but the heads have all
been cut off to make them fit the trousers more con-
veniently.
Alderman LAWRENCE—He must have a very large
pair of trousers to allow him to stow away those eight
birds.

Prosecutor—l do not think thin is the first time,
and I rather believe he has somehOdy connected with
him to diSpose of the goods.
Prisoner—l own lam guilty of this charge, but I
assure your worship I have been a worthy member of
society, and hope to be so again.
Alderman LAWRENCE—You have not given us a
good specimen oryour honesty, or of the likelihood of
your ever becoming a useful member of society.
Prisoner—l was driven to this from distress.
Alderman LAWRENCE—I cannot believe that, for
the officer found 1/ 83. 7d. on you. I shall, therefore,
send you to the House of Correction for three months
with hard labour.

who had but lately commenced business, and had no
place of business.
Mr. James Atkinson, re-called by Mr. Cobbett,
stated that on Tuesday morning he found in Stone's
house seven pieces of shawl cloths and a quantity of
twine. These were things which he hr.d lost, and
which were in his warehouse on Saturday More he
went to Comae.

In cross•examination by Mr. Bennett, he stated
that he took a porter to Scone's house, and asked for
the goods, but that Stone refused to let him have
them. He had heard from Foulds that some sheeting
had been brought back from Stone's house to the
warehouse. When the goods were removed he had
no reason to believe that they were in danger while
in his warehouse, nor had he since had reason.to
believe so.

Mr. Bennett then proceeded to call a number o
witnesses for the deeence.

Mr. Blenkinsop, formerly bookkeeper with the
prosecutor, proved that Foulds could sell goods and
order their delivery.
Mr. David Pickup, of the firm of Pickup and
Hulse, packers, stated that on one occasion five cases
of goods were sent to his place by Mr. Atkinson.
He afterwards received an order to deliver the goods,
signed Foulds and Co. He refused to deliver the
goods upon that order, and after wards •received one
from James Atkinson. Those goods he afterwards
gave to Mr. Giles, who had printed them, and who
told him that he wanted 1081. odd for doing .50.
Mr. Giles gave witness a written•undertaking to clear
him from all charges if an action were brought against
him for doing so.
Timothy Faulkner, porter, stated that on M mday
week he saw Foulds and Stone removing goods trom
Mr. Atkinson's warehouse to the house of the latter.
He heard Foulds tell Stone to look sharp, and after.
wards say to Mrs. Stone that she must not " split,"
Had Foulds acted to him as he did to S'ooe, he
(witnes.) should have thought him to be his master.
Mr. Simpson, calico To inter, proved that on Wed-
nesday week the prosecutor offered to sell him some
goods which he said were at Stone's house. Stone
wa. sent for, and admitted that he had some goods
belonging to Mr. Atkinson, who ordered him to
send them to his (witness's) warehouse, but they
never came.

Mr. Whitaker, calico printer, stated that he had
had considerable dealings with both the prosecutor
and his brother, Jthn Atkinson, of Glasgow. Pro-
secutor had told him that he had shipped goods to the
'United States in Foulds's name. Foulds acted as a grin-
, cipal person Some goods which ought to have been sent
to Pearce Brothers for an advance were not sent; and,
upon being asked last Tuesday week why they bad not
been sent, the prosecutor said that they had been sold.
lie afterwards told witness that they were at Stone's,
and were safe. Witness had gone to Atkinson on the
occasion when this conversation took place, because
Atkinson had shipped goods in witness's name to de.
traud his creditors. He wanted an advance, and wit-
ness was determined he should not have them. Wit-
ness had printed some goo is for Atkinson, and it was
arranged that the goods should be sent to the shipper
as goods shipped by witness. Witness was to re-
ceive the money advanced upon them, and after
deducting what was due to himself for print-
ing, to pay the rest to the prosecutor. As Atkinson
was a minor, which, however, witness knew at the
time, be agreed to the above-mentioned plan, and his
creditors therefore had no hold upon him; he deter-
mined to prevent his obtaining any of the advance,
and to do the best he could for them with some other
goods of Atkinson's which he held. Witness ob-
tained as much of the advance upon the goods shipped
in his name as paid him his bill for printing them.
Ann Wynn, a lodger in the house of the prisoner,
stated that Stoee.and Foulds were equally concerned
in bringing the goods there. On that night John
Atkinson slept at Stone's house. Some sheets were,
by his direction, fetched from the warehouse, to cover
himself and a man who was with him. On the following
morning, John and James Atkinson and Henry Foulds
went into the garret where the goods had been placed,
and remained there about half an hour. When they
went down stairs, witness heard Mr. Stone say the
goods would be safe, and James Atkinson replied
that they would be as safe as in the bank. Henry
Foulds took back to the warehouse all the sheets but
one. John Atkinson told him not to mind the sheets,
as they had never bean paid for, and never
should. On Wednesday night, three gentlemen,
Mr. Wilcock, Mr. Norbury, and a Scotch
gentleman, fetched the goods away. When they
went to the house they said they had come for
the de laines which were there. They talked a great
while about its being a shame that the Atkinsons
should bribe people, and so on. Stone told them to
take the goods, and they sent for four porters, who
removed the goods.
Mr. Wilcock, of the firm of Wilcock and Nor-
bury, engravers, stated that he and his partner
were creditors of J,imes Atkinson. He saw the
goods being removed from prosecutor's warehouse, hut
did not suspect that anything was wrong. He
afterwards heard from Mr. Petty that some goods
belonging to Atkinson were concealed in &sine's
house. He went with his partner, Mr. Norbury, and
the representative of a Scotch house, also creditors
of Atkinson, to endeavour to get these goods from
Stone. Teey told Stone who they were, and asked
him to give up the goods belonging to Mr. Atkinson.
Stone said that be was miserable about these goods,
and did not know whether or not to give them. He
afterwards consented to give up, on condition of their
giving him an agreement in writing to be answer-
able for the consequences. The goods were then
removed by the porters, and sent to Mr. John Lee's,
to be packed and sent to Glasgow.
The prisoner said that he regarded Foulds as his
master, and had acted under his direction. He was
at work removing shawls from the warehouse until
six o'clock, on the evening of the Saturday before the
removal of the goods now in question.
Mr. Maude said that this case showed discreditable
transactions throughout, both on one side and on the
other. It seemed to him that a set of persons
going and tampering with a man's servant, to
get goods from the hands of that servant, which he
held by the authority of his master (supposing such
to have been the case here), was most discreditable,
and he did not know where it was to end if pursued
in this large manufacturing town. He thought, how-
ever, that there was no evidence to prove a felonious
asportation in this case, as it would appear from the
evidence, and particularly from that of the last wit-
ness, that the goods were really removed to protect
them from some of the creditors, who thought they had
a right to them. The prisoner must therefore be dis-
charged.—Manchester Guardian.

[We are informed that John Atkinson, of Glasgow,
has just been apprehended and committed to take his
trial on a charge of forgery by the authorities of that
city.—ED. Sun.]
