LIVERPOOL TOWN COUNCIL.

LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY. The last meeting of
the town council for the municipal year was held to-
day. Sir John Bent, the mayor, presided.
Before the ordinary business of the council was
proceeded with, a memorial from the inhabitants,
very numerously signed, was read, calling upon the
council to become the prosecutors in the inquiry
about to-be held before the Earl of Carlisle into the
conduct of Mr. Ramshay, the judge of our county
court.

Mr. Councillor SAMUEL HOLME, in moving that
the council adopt the prayer of the memorial, and
become the prosecutors in the inquiry, commenced
his observations by remarking that the circumstances
under which the memorial had been presented were
entirely without precedent. Happily for this country
there was no precedent—at least it was 200 years
since a case at all resembling the present had hap-
pened. It was one of the blessings which we enjoyed
that the laws in this country were administered with
rectitude, and with a due regard both to the Crown
and the people; the balance of justice was so evenly
maintained that all cavilling at our judicial tribunals
was rendered mute. They all knew that in their
courts of law prejudice on the part of the judges
was not allowed to prevail, that their temper or per-
sonal wishes were not allowed to sway their judg-
ment, and in the full confidence of their wisdom and
integrity of purpose, the people of this country com-
mitted with perfect safety to their judicial tribunals
the rights, the privileges, the property, nay, the lives
of all those who resorted to them for justice and pro-
tection. Every man in the country had, conse-
quently, an interest in upholding the dignity of
their judicial (tribunals, and it was therefore with
great sorrow and pain he saw that in this town a gen-
tleman should (he believed for the first time in the
history of the country) have so conducted the busi-
ness of the County Court of Liverpool as to have
aroused the entire community.—(Hear.) Under
the present extraordinary and unparalleled circum-
stances in which the town was placed, the bur-
gesses had exercised their undoubted right of memo-
rialising the council to take a part in the inquiry
which was about to be held. It was on public
grounds that he (Mr. Holme) supported the prayer
of the memorial which had been read. He never saw
Mr. Ramshay until a recent occasion, which he had
already named at a former meeting of the council.
He had scarcely ever heard of him until the recent
proceedings before the Earl of Carlisle, and
therefore it could not be said of him that he
had any private feelings to gratify in the course
which he was taking. It had been said that the pro-
ceedings going on against Mr. Ramshay were simply
the result of a popular cry, but he believed that the
council would do him the justice to say that such en
observation could not be applicable to him. This
question was one vitally affecting the public of this
community ; and it was because he believed it to be
his duty to urge upon the council to act upon this
memorial, that he thus ventured to bring the question
prominently before them. After referring at consi-
derable length to the circumstances in connexion with
Mr. Ramshay's proceedings, which are already so
familiar to the public, the speaker went on to contend
that the council was the proper party to conduct the
inquiry on the part of the town. The council was the
representative of the burgesses, who were the ag-
grieved parties.—(Hear, hear.) If houses became
a nuisance to the community, it was the business
of the council to remove them. Is was the busi-
ness of the council to provide courts of law, and in
many instances to pay the salaries, all being for
the benefit of the community ; and by a parity of
reasoning, be maintained that that council was
the legitimate channel through which these pro-
ceedings ought to be conducted. It might be
said that the council had nothing to do with
it. Then, he would ask, who had to do with
it? Were a few individuals to have the entire onus
of conducting it thrown upon them ?—(Hear, hear.)
He thought not. It might be said that to vote any

f argument,those
because, if they were so disposed, they might even
double the allowance of their chief magistrate. They
could vote money to welcome a stranger, and thou-
sands to do honour to their Queen, and therefore be
thought it was a fallacy to say that they had not the
power to devote any portion of their funds in order,

to remedy what he believed to be a public nuisance,
for he could call it by no other name.—(Hear, hear.)
He believed that so long as they were acting for the
public benefit they had the power to expend their
funds, and he had emphatically stated that this was a
case involving the public benefit. This matter in-
volved a great constitutional question. " Sir," said
Mr. Holme, addressing the mayor, " I look upon it
as your question, as my question, as the question of
every man in this town ; and I think that every in-
habitant, as far as in him lies, is bound to take steps
to protect himself—be was almost going to say—from
positive insult at the hands of our county court judge."
After some further remarks in support of the council
taking up the question, the speaker said that in the
event of the Earl of Carlisle reinstating Mr. Ramshay,
he (Mr. Holme) knew of no other course than that of
calling a public meeting; and he had no doubt
whatever that if the Earl did reinstate Mr. Ramshay
a requisition to the Mayor to call a public meeting
would be presented.—(Hear.) He unhesitatingly
said that if an indiscreet gentleman like Mr. Ramshay
was to be kept here, it would be the duty of the town
to go to Parliament in order to have him removed—
(Hear, hear)—for if he was to be permitted to carry
out what he called the letter of the law in the manner
he recently had done, and if the town was driven to
the last extremity, he repeated that it would be the
duty of the community to endeavour to obtain an Act
of Parliament for the purpose of removing a man from
amongst them whose temper was such as to prevent
the inhabitants of this town from enjoying those ad-
vantages and privileges which were conferred by the
passing of the County Courts Act. He therefore
begged to move that the council adopt the prayer of
the memorial, and that the town clerk be directed to
conduct the approaching inquiry on the part of the
corporation.—(Loud cheers.)
Mr. Avlsost, solicitor, briefly seconded the motion,
reserving to himself the right to make some observa-
tions upon it in the course of the discussion.:
Mr. Alderman BaAMLEY•Mooaa opposed the mo-
tion, on the ground that, to appropriate the corporate
funds in conducting the inquiry would be decidedly
illegal. He also contended that the council would be
pre-judging the case if they took any part in the in-
quiry. In the course of his address, which was
listened to with considerable impatience, Mr. Moore
contended that Mr. Ramshay had been harshly used
by the public of Liverpool. These observations were
received with shouts of derisive laughter.
After considerable discussion as to the legality of
the corporate funds being applied in conducting the
inquiry,
The Towle CLERK was called upon for his opinion.
He said his own opinion was, that it would be illegal
to appropriate the money of the corporation in the
manner proposed, but feeling some doubt about it he
had submitted it to counsel. He wrote to Mr.
Crompton, barrister, and that gentleman had for-
warded an opinion to the effect that to apply the funds
of the corporation as proposed would be against the
spirit of the Act of Parliament. The Town Clerk
then proceeded to say that, being satisfied of the ille-
gality of so applying the corporate funds, he should
refuse to countersign the order for payment of the
money, should the council decide so to expend it.
A very long discussion took place, in the course of
which several councillors expressed themselves strongly
in favour of the council becoming the prosecutors, but
the general impression seemed to be that the opinion
of counsel and the Town Clerk was fatal to this
course. Mr. Ramshay's conduct was denounced in
the strongest terms by every speaker, and several
members of the council being satisfied that the corpo-
rate funds could not be legally touched, expressed their
readiness to contribute liberally towards the necessary
expenses.
Ultimately Mr. Holme withdrew his motion, and
substituted the following motion, which was carried
by a majority of 51 to 3. Mr. Holme remarked, that
seeing the impossibility of carrying his original motion
in the face of counsel's opinion, he had so modified it
as to express the opinion of the council on Mr. Ram-
shay's extraordinary proceedings. The motion as
carried was as follows

" That in the opinion of the council, the circumstances
which have taken place in relation to the course pursued
by the Judge of the County Court for this district are
such as to call for an inquiry before the proper authori-
ties; but this council having been advised that it cannot
legally expend the corporate funds in prosecuting such
inquiry, regrets that it cannot comply with the prayer of
this memorial."

Several members of the council suggested the pro -
priety of calling a public meeting, and it is fully
expected that a requisition to the Mayor, to call such
meeting for the purpose of raising funds to conduct
the inquiry, will be presented to-morrow.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.
OLD COURT.

(Before Mr. Justice MAULS and Mr. Justice
CREFSWELL.)
Yesterday Josiah Westley, 39, bookbinder, was in-
dicted for feloniously forging and uttering a bill of
exchange, for 1001, with intent to defraud Messrs.
Glyn and Co.
Mr. Bodkin and Mr. Huddlestone were counsel for
the prosecution; the prisoner was defended by Mr.
Clarkson and Mr. Ballantine.

From the opening speech of the Learned Counsel for
the prosecution, it appeared that the prisoner, who had
carried on a considerable business as a bookbinder in
Playhouse-yard, Blackfriars, had, for three or four
years, kept an account with Messrs. Glyn and Co.,
and latterly they had discounted bills for him for a
considerable amount. On the 21st of April of the
present year the bill in question, which purported to
be accepted by James Gilbert, a bookseller, at York,
was so discounted in the ordinary way of business, and
the account placed to the credit of the prisoner, and
upon the bill becoming due it was dishonoured, and
this led to inquiry, which resulted in the discovery
that there was no such person as James Gilbert at
York, and the present prosecution was, in consE quence,
instituted against the prisoner.
Mr. Williams, the discount clerk at Messrs. Glyn
and Co.'s, produced the books, and proved the formal
facts of the case. In addition to the bill which was
the subject of the indictment, he proved that two other
bills for the respective amounts of 113/. 153., and
1151., apparently accepted by George Master, a
printer at Leeds, were also discounted for the pri •
soner.

Upon being cross-examined by Mr. CLARKSON, the
witness stated that the discount transactions of the
prisoner with the bank had been very extensive, pos-
sibly to the amount of 29,0001. since his account was
first opened. The prisoner had represented that his
capital was not sufficient to carry out his business,
and he repeatedly applied for discount accommodation,
and the prisoner had given the bank a lien upon some
property in which he had a reversionary interest, as
security for the advances they made to him. The wit-
ness also said that inquiries were made, when two of
the bills he had referred to were dishonoured, but no
criminal proceedings were taken against the prisoner
until after he was declared a bankrupt.
Some witnesses were then called who proved that
there was no such person as James Gilbert, a book-
seller at York, or George Master at Leeds.
Mr. CLARKSON, at the close of the case for the pro-
secution, said that the prisoner desired himself to ad-
dress the Court in answer to the charge.
He accordingly read a written statement to the fol-
lowing effect :—The prisoner said he was placed in his
present painful position by circumstances over which
he had no control ; and as to the charge of forgery, or
feloniously uttering a forged instrument, he was en-
tirely innocent, and he had hoped down to the very
last moment to be able to produce the persons who
had in reality committed the offence he was charged
with. He entreated the jury to take into con-
sideration not only the position of himself, but that of
his wife and family, and to believe that it was possi-
ble for an innocent person to be made the victim of
really guilty parties who declined to come forward
and expose their guilt. His present unfortunate po-
sition arose entirely from the conduct of one of his
relations, who was under great obligation to him for
having set him up in business. Having himself a
large business, requiring sometimes so much as 1001.
or 2001. per week for the payment of wages, the jury
would naturally suppose that he was occasionally
pressed for money, and having mentioned his diffi-
culty to his brother, he told him that he could pro-
cure him accommodation acceptances. Placing con-
fidence in the representations of his brother he did
draw these bills, and his brother procured the accept•
ances for him, and he believed them to be genuine,
and passed them away as such to Messrs. Glen and
Co., and he intended to have taken up the bills when
they arrived at maturity, but was prevented from
doing so by unforeseen circumstances. He said
that so much as 90,0001. of his money had passed
through the hands of the bankers on his ac-
count, and they held security upon property which
had been recently valued at 4,0001., and he therefore
thought that he had some claim upon them ; and he
called the attention of the Court and jury to the fact
that they did not take any proceedings against him
until he was declared a bankrupt. The prisoner, in
conclusion, asserted in the most solemn manner that
he was guiltless of any knowledge of the forgery, or
of any intention to defraud the prosecutors.
Mr. Justice CRESSWELL in summing up said, that
as there was no evidence to support the charge of
forgery the only question for the jury to consider
was, whether the prisoner had uttered the instru-
ment in question with a guilty knowledge that it was
forged. It was his duty to tell them that in point of
law the placing the name of a non-existing person as
an acceptor to a bill of exchange, with intent to de-
fraud, amounted to the crime of forgery, and it was
for them to say whether, upon the evidence, they
were satisfied that when the prisoner passed away this
bill he was aware that no such person as James
Gilbert, bookseller, at York, was in existence.
They had heard the statement that was
made by the prisoner, and his admission
that the bill was an accommodation bill, but
it was for the jury to consider whether, even accord-
ing to his own showing, he must not have known that
there was no such person as James Gilbert; and if he
did know this, his offence in law amounted to utter-
ing a forged instrument. It was evident that there
had been very extensive discount transactions between
the prisoner and the bank, and it was certainly rather
a curious circumstance that when two of the bills had
been dishonoured, and inquiries had no doubt been
made respecting him, that no steps had been taken
against the prisoner until he was declared a bank-
rupt. The jury would, however, take all the circum-
stances of the case into their consideration, and if the
statement made by the prisoner raised any serious
doubt in their minds upon the subject tbey would of
course give him the benefit of such doubt, and say
th t he was not guilty.
The jury retired, and were absent about half an
hour, when they returned a verdict of Not Guilty.
Mr. BODKIN said there were two more indictments
against the prisoner, having reference to the other
bills; but as they involved the same facts he did not
think it necessary to proceed with them after the con-
clusion the jury had arrived at.
A verdict of Not Guilty was accordingly taken
upon both charges.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MARYLEBONE.
WHOLESALE UTTERERS OF COUNTERFEIT COIN.
—Yesterday a man and woman, who gave their
names Thomas Meredith and Mary Wilson, were
brought before Mr. Long, charged with having in
several instances uttered counterfeit coin, and it is
imagined that for some time past they have carried
on their nefarious calling to a considerable extent,
the spurious pieces being for the most part half-
crowns, a great number of which, bearing date 1817
and 1822, have been within the last few months
passed to tradesmen in and around the metropolis.
The court was much crowded during the proceedings,
which excited a considerable degree of interest; the
female prisoner has before been brought up as a
" smasher."

George Stacey, barman at Mr. Smith's, the Lord
Tyrawley, High-street, Marylebone, deposed that
on the previous afternoon between four and five
o'clock, the woman Wilson came to the house and
asked for a quartern of gin and a half-pint of porter;
she drank the beer, and the spirits having been put
into a bottle, which she brought with her, she threw
down a half-crown in payment. Witness discerned
that it was a bad one, and told her so, when she said
she was not aware of such being the case, but that
she expected her husband in presently, and he would
pay for what she had had. In a few minutes Mere-
dith came in and paid for the spirits and beer with a
sixpence, receiving a penny in change. The priso-
ners went away, witness keeping possession of the
counterfeit half-crown.
A second charge was gone into against the
prisoners.
Alfred Beshonden, waiter to Mr. Wolff, an eating-
house keeper in Charles-street, Middlesex Hospital,
stated that on the previous evening, at a quarter be-
fore six, Wilson came into the shop, and he supplied
her with a basin of alamode beef. He gave her 2s. ld.
in change for a half-crown, and she quitted the
premises.
A third charge was
gone into, from which it ap-
peared that between six and seven in the previous
evening "Wilson passed a bad half-crown at the shop
of Mr. Appleton, Foley-street, Portland-place, in
payment for a pot of bear's grease.
Sergeant Hardwick, a plain clothes officer of the
D division, said that having heard of there being a
barmaid in " Bloomer" costume at the Lord Tyrawly
Arms, he went thither out of mere curiosity, and
during the short time he was standing at the bar he
witnessed the passing of a spurious half-crown. lie
followed the prisoners after they quitted the pre-
mises, and having kept a close watch upon them in
their progress through different streets, and witness-
ing their manceuvres, ultimately took them into
custody. He (witness) produced three counterfeit
half-crowns which the female prisoner had uttered,
and he proved that while watching the prisoners they
separated, and again met two or three times, thus
proving the connexion between them with regard to
their malpractices.
Other evidence was gone into, and the prisoners
were remanded until Thursday next, upon which day
the Mint solicitor will be in attendance, and they
(prisoners) will be sent for trial.
