CITY POLICE BILL.

Mr. Alderman WOOD moved the second reading of
this bill.

Mr. H. HUGHES suggested to the hon. member whe-
ther it would not be better to postpone the second reading
of this bill until the house could hear what was the opinion
of the Common Council of London with respect to it. He
would move, for this purpose, that the bill be read a second
time to-morrow.

Mr. Alderman WOOD did not see any necessity for
postponing the second reading, and could not therefore ac-
cede to the suggestion of the hon. member.
The gallery was then cleared for a division but no divi-
sion took place, and the second reading was agreed to.
The General Steam Navigation Bill, and Lumley's
Name Bill, were both read a third time.

The Reports of the Committee upon the Welland Na-
vigation Bill and Forest Gaol Bill were laid on the table.
The Dublin Cemetery. Bill was read a second time.
Upon the motion of Mr. ROCHE, the bill for the
drainage and improvement of waste lands in Ireland was
read a first time.
Sir F. BLAKE presented a petition from the dissenters
of Portsmore; in Northumberland, praying for the redress
of their grievances.
Mr. WALKER presented a petition from the northern
part of the county of Down, praying for the total abolition
of tithe ; and from Clanmore to the same effect.

and a petition from the, Dissenting clergy of the county of
Kildare, praying for the separation of church and state. •
Sir S. GLYNNE presented a petition from Rigley, in
support of the Established Church.
Mr. WILLIAM ROCHE presented a petition from
the parish of Ballybriggan, in the county of Limerick,
against tithes.
Mr. H. HUGHES presented a petition from the parish
of St. Peter in .Oxford, against the bill for the admission
of Dissenters to the Universities.
Mr. POTTER said he could not see how the admission
of Dissenters into the two learned universities: would tend
to the separation of Church and State. Dissenters were
now admitted to seats in the house, and he believed there were,
at this time at least 50 Protestant Dissenters there. It surely
was of great consequence that the dissenters should be able
to give their sons suitable education, as they were eligible
to be members of the house. With.the permission of the
house he would just mention his own situation ' he had an
only son, who he was wishful should have a good education,
and receive greater advantages than his father had. He
(Mr. Potter) wished to have sent him to Cambridge,
but as a Dissenter he could not do so consistently with his
principles, for supposing his son was sent there, and had esta-
blished his title to a degree, before he could talct it he
must declare his belief of the doctrines of the Established
Church. Now he would be put in a situation to be
tempted to abjure his religious belief ; if he had the for-
titude to withstand such a temptation, he must leave the
university in some respect degraded. But this was not
all he (Mr. Potter) had to complain of, for the universi-
ties had actually interfered to prevent a charter being
granted to the London University, and Sir C. Wetherall
had actually been retained to plead before the privy council
against the grant of a charter.
Mr. BEAUMONT presented a petition from St. Luke,
Norwood, in the diocese of Winchester, in support—of the
Established Church. _ _

Mr. MILES presented similar petitions from Allerton,
Badgley, Kintore, and ()the': places in the county of
Somerset, in support of the Established Church.
Sir EDWARD KNATCHBULL presented several
petitions from parishes in Kent, in support of the church.
Mr. FITZSIMON presented a petition from Mary
Connelly, residing in the county of Dublin, complaining
of vexatious proceedings in the higher courts for the re-
covery of tithes.
Mr. F. O'CONNOR said he was sorry that such oc-
currences were too- common in Ireland. He knew several
instances in which parties were proceeded against for nine-
pence or a shilling, and the costs amounted to 2/. I7s.
Sir H. HARDINGE presented a petition from a pa-
rish in Kent, in support of the union between church and
state.

Sir J. ASTLEY presented a petition from Norfolk, in
favour of the Islington Market Bill.
Sir R. PEEL presented petitions from 100 parishes in
Devon, one from St. Giles in the Fields, one from a place
in Somerset, in support of the Church, and one from Thos.
Powell, a Clergyman in the West Riding of York, to the
same effect ; also a petition from Jane Ormsly, widow of
the late William Ormsly, praying that the /louse would
take her case into consideration.
Mr. HODGES presented a petition from Sundridge in
support of a State Church.

On Tuesday a well-dressed man, eluding
the vigilance of the gatekeepers at the Triumphal
Arch at the Barriere de l'Etoile, ascended to the top
with the utmost haste, and immediately threw himself
off on the side towards the Tuileries. His head was
caught in the scaffolding, and such was the force of
the fall that it was severed from the body, which thus
decapitated fell to the ground, and presented a horri-
ble spectacle.—French Paper.
A dreadful fire broke out on the 3d inst., at
the Rethem-on-the-Aller, in the Hanoverian domi-

were reduced to ashes. As many as 700 or 800 per-
sons were thus deprived of their homes, and many of
them of all their property.—Hamburg Correspondent.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER-

-(THIS DAY.)

(Sittings at Nisi Prius before Mr. Baron PARKE and a
• Special Jury.)
GILES r. SMITH.

Mr. Sergeant BOMPAS (with whom were Air. LEE and
Mr. ALtNsEL) stated that this action was brought to re-
cover damages for the seizure of plaintiff's furniture, under
a Commission of Bankruptcy, to which defendant was
assignee. 'ln the year 1831, two ribbon manufacturers in
the city, of the names of Wilson and Newark, were'in
the habit of accommodating each other with their ac-
ceptances, and wishing to snake them more negotiable,
they asked and obtained the plaintiff's name to several
bills, in :all amounting to 1,793/. Those bills were
duly honoured by Mr. Newark, but were left in the'
hands of Mr. Wilson, who in that year was suspected of
forgery on the bank, and found it convenient to run off to
America. Before doing so he called upon his brother,
George Wilson, and gave into his hands all his documents,
among which were the bills in question. He was prepa-
ring to follow his brother, but before doing so he
put those bills in force, and struck a docquet
against the plaintiff, who was a very young man,
and ruined him in his prospects in life. The
plaintiff,:who had not been long married, had spent a large
sum of money upon his house, but all was swept away
under these most unjust proceedings; for that he hoped
that day he would be fully recompensed at the hands of
the jury. The learned sergeant put in the warrant and the
inventory of the goods, which were sold for 4301.
Mr. PoLtoce, for the defendant, took some objections
to the action, which were over-ruled by his Lord-
ship, who reserved them for the consideration of the
Court above. The learned gentleman then addressed
the jury. He said he trusted to receive a yd.-,
diet for his client, for the sake of all those gentlemen
who took upon themselves the office of assignee. The
facts were these :—There could be doubt that the petition-
ing creditor had a right to strike the docquet so long as he
held the bills which he had got in a legitimate way ; that
question had been decided in two other courts, for the
laintiff had petitioned the Court of Review, and, after five
adjournments, it was dismissed with costs against the bank-
rupt; an indictment was then taken out in the King's Bench
which, when called upon, was abandoned, and a verdict of
a .quittal entered, no evidence having been offered. Then
comes .that action, and he was almost certain that the
plaintiff would not then be More lucky than on former
occasions. He would prove that the plaintiff was present
when that debt was proved ; he objected to some others,

he had applied for it ; he had received his maintenance from
the defendant, and for two and a half years he had treated the
o
commission as a valid one, and it was not till he was fortu-
nate enough to get acquainted with Mr. Dicas, that he found
out he was ill treated.

The proceedings under the commission were then put in,
and it was proved that the defendant had, in all cases,
acted as stated to the jury by Mr. Pollock. Also, that
when the dccquet was struck there was an execution in
plaintiff's house, and he had given directions for him being
denied when any one called for him.
Mr. Sergeant BGMPAS was proceeding to call more
evidence, to show that the bills were accommodation ones,
when our reporter left.
