21IE RIOLIT HON. THE EARL OF CARLISLE, CHAN-
CELLOR OF THE DUCHY CF LANCASTER.
The Memorial of the Undersigned Inhabitants of
the Borough of Liverpool, iu the County of Lan-
caster,
" Showetb,—That your memorialists have occa-
sion, which they deeply deplore, to address your
Lordship in language of indignation and complaint
at the conduct pursued by William .R amehay, Esq.,
the judge of the Liverpool County Court, since his
acquittal by your Lordship and the recommencement
of his sittings.
" Toat Mr. Ramsbay has brooded • over wrongs
erroneously supposed to have been committed against
him by the public press of Liverpool, until he has
come to view all their acts in which his lame isjin
any way mixed up through a distorted and distem-
pork d medium ; and, as evidence of this trAh24 py
temper, 11,~ has, on several oc,c;,isions, deelsred Lis In-

supposed to be his aocus,-is previous to the late in-
vesti:,a ion b,:4'ore your Lord ,hip.
" Ufflitr the iai,rence of this morbid state of mind,
ha has lately denounced a rno,t innoetuit placard (ac-
cidently placed jipon a wooden paling ncar his curtly
and used by hill' stinker for all their placards) aS ft
libellous attack upon Liintelf and es a contempt of
his court ; and, in the assertion of his power Of which
he entertains a very exalted opini,,n), ro visit- all acts
which he chooses to consider con!cluots of Lis court
ia a summary manner, be has lat&ly sent u person,
stated to an officer of' his court, with verbal direc-
tions only, to bring Mr. Michael James. Whitty, the
publisher of,tbe placard above mentioned, to his court.
The officer proceeded to Mr. Whitty's place of busi-
ness, with a companion, to execute this verbal miler.
Mr. Whitty demanded their authority, and on their
stating they hod none to produce, he refused to'
company them ; but at the same time expressed 16
willingness to wait until they could procure either a
warrant or summons from the court. This they re-
fused to do; and, having recourse to force to cAispel
him, they were resisted by Mr. Whitty and his eon,
and some of his servants, and they did not accomplish
their object.
" The Judge afterwards issued his summons, which
was left at Mr. Whitty's dwelling-house, requiring
him to attend his court to answer for a contempt.

for insulting the Court, or to be imprisoned seven
days at Lancaster Castle; and to be imprisoned at
Lancaster Castle absolutely for two terms of seven
days for assaulting the officers ; and to pay two other
fines of 51. each for insulting the officers, or to be im-
prisoned 14 days. The two penalties of seven days'
imprisonment absolutely for assaulting the officers the
Judge afterwards withdrew, substituting the infliction
of fines of Si. each, or seven days' imprisonment in each
case in defaultof payment. The fines were not paid, and
Mr. Whitty was sent to Lancaster Castle. Two ;Joys
after the hearing of the charges against Mr. M. J.
Whitty, Mr. John Whitty attended on et summons
for assaulting the officers, and, in result, he was fined
in four penalties of 40s. each for assaulting and in•
suiting the officers ; in default of payment as to the
assaults, the judge
,imposed an imprisonment in each
case ; and as to the two penalties for insulting the
officers, he stated that the amounts would be recover-
able :as debts under the County Courts Act, and, if
not paid, that the defendant would be liable to two
imprisonments of 40 days each. Orders were drawn
up to send Mr. John Whitty to Lancaster, when the
inhabitants of Liverpool interposed, and paid all the
fines of Mr. John Whitty, jun., to prevent his going
to Lancaster, and paid the fines of Mr. M. J. Whiny,
and procured his dicharge from Lancaster Castle,
when the following receipt was given to tie contri-
butors :

" That throughout these proceedings Mr. Whitly,
sen., exhibited no contumacy; on the contrary, ashile
at his own place of business he expressed his readiness
to the Court, if served with written request, and ac-
cordingly did so as soon as he was served with the
summons; and throughout the inquiry against him,
which lasted about seven hours, he was patient, re-
spectful, and forbearing, never uttering a single word,
although very many observations fell from the judge
greatly calculated to wound and exasperate him.
"That the judge of the County Court, on the other
hand, throughout the proceedings against Mr. M. J.
Whiny and Mr. John Whitty, in his various character
of accuser, witness, judge, and jury, was pre-
eminently harse, vindictive, and oppressive.

REVOLTING INIIUNIANITY.--The Boonville (Mo.)
G sort r of the 26th nit , gives the following details of an sec
of barbarity :—" In Morgan county, not ions ago, a citizen

girl about
Seven years of age. Not long after the death ef
her husband the woman married again. Soon the girl died,
and very recently the boy was rf ported missing. The sudden
and mysterious oisappeaLuce of the child, together with the
fact that upon the death of the woman's first husband the
property lie possessed was left to the two children, aroused
suspicion in the neighbourhood, when a search was made for
the boy. He was found in the woods adjscent, with bei
legs broken and his mouth sewed up ; being still alive, how-.
ever, he was properly-
• cared for, when he reported that his
mot her and stepfather had been the perpetrators of the deed,
and, in addition, that his sister's skull had been broken by
them, which caused her death. The boy's statement further
tended to develope the fact that the girl was known befwe
her death to have had a bandage round her head, and, upon:
her body being exhumed, it was found as the boy had stated,
that the skull was fractured. The parents were arrested and
imprisoned at Versailles."

him to take the weed from his mouth, test he should leave
the other monkeys bad habits.
