THE GREAT EXHIBITION.

Her Majesty, accompanied by his Royal Highness
Prince Albert, visited the building yesterday morning,
and from the galleries surveyed with interest the changes
that have taken place since her last inspection. Little
more than a month has elapsed in the interval, yet how
great has been the alteration! On the 12th of October
the crystal fountain still glistened in the centre of the
immense edifice, filled with every conceivable illustra-
tion of nature's wealth and man's ingenuity. The in-
dustrial systems of every civilized country in the world
were there represented, and each class of product had its
appropriate arrangement. The nave was crowded with
the chief trophies of the peaceful arts, and, wherever
the eye turned, it rested upon the evidence of the world's
civilization. Now all is changed, The crowds are de-
parted—curiosity is at an end. The vast interior has either
been cleared out or is in progress of dilapidation.
Mountains of packing-cases occupy the site of the
chief triumphs of the Exhibition and exhibitors,
hastening to be gone, " stand not upon the order of
their going." The speed with which the great spec-
tacle was prepared is a mere joke to that with which
it is broken up, and all concerned hasten to leave a
scene upon which one would have fancied they
would have lingered with regret. Eugland, foremost is
the work of construction, has equally distanced her
competitors in the rapidity of redistribution. Her divi•
sion of the building is now almost empty, and a few of
the larger objects alone remain to indicate the industrial
strength which she put forth. Silently, and without
much apparent bustle, her contributions have been
removed, the textile fabrics, the hardware, the ceramic
manufactures, the display of precious metals, the animal
and mineral products, nearly everything, in short, that
characterized the extent of her industry, has been swept
away, and even the stalls and counters where they were
exhibited have been in a great measure taken down.
Those who are familiar with the aspect of houses
stripped of their furniture and fittings, tenantless, and
resigned to the dominion of dust and charwomen, may
by clubbing together all the unoccupied premises in
London form some conception of the change which has
come over the interior of the Crystal Palace since its
close. Though the building looks more magnificent than
ever, a widespread bankruptcy appears to have over-
whelmed its recent possessors, and over the English de-
partment especially the creditors seem to bemaking a clean
sweep. India has gathered up her treasures from the
txposed areas of the nave and transept into her central
courts, and there, guarded by policemen and surrounded
by barriers, Dr. Roylo and Professor Solly reconsigu the
jewels of Lahore, the wonderful tissues, the furniture,
the arms, the enamels, and all the other triumphs of an
ancient civilization, to the safe obscurity of packing cases.
Our colonial collections also disappear day by day, as if
they dreaded any longer trusting themselves to the cus-
tody of the mother country. With a touch of reverence
for the past, the process of dismantling the Mediaeval
Court is carefully concealed from vulgar curiosity. Be-
yond this westward nearly everything is gone. The
very locomotives are by this time, probably, tearing away
along the iron highways of the country, and taking exer-
cise after their lung repose. The Coalbrook Dale dome
and Roes's telescope, after bravely standing out for a
season, have at length yielded to the prevailing influ-
ence, and hardly anything now expressos permanence
and immobility except, perhaps, Seeley's fountain and the
ponderous mass of the Britannia hydraulic press; we had
almost forgotten—the organs still remain, and exhibitors
point to them significantly as indications of a design, when
the distribution of goods is at an end,. to appeal to the
ear as well as to the eye of the public for the preserva-
tion of the Crystal Palace. Another prominent object
also holds its place—Lawson's splendid collection of the
vegetable productions of Scotland has not yet been
touched, and would have been presented to the Commis-
sion had they chosen to pay for the fittings. It goes,
when removed, to Kew, where it will prove a valuable
acquisition. The display of minersls also holds out;
but here other institutions have carried off large and
important portions of the whole, and the Museum of
Economic Geology has especially distinguished itself by
the forays which it has made upon that part of the Ex-
hibition. The agricultural implement makers, with
their formidable array of contributions, were among the
first to depart, and of that crowded department and its
evidences of an advanced system of cultivation nothing
remains except a few machines, which are kept back,
we suppose, for the Smithfield Cattle Show. The ma-
chinery, as it was the most difficult department to pre-
pare in time, is the most arduous to remove, but even
here an almost entire clearance has been effected. To
those who remember that most interesting portion of the
Exhibition, the contrast now presented is great indeed.
Of its many attractive objects not a vestige remains, and
the rapid whirl of driving wheels and the untiring energy
of steam are over. Ascending to the western galleries
the work of clearance is found almost complete. Even
the numerous carpets are gone that hung aloft like ban-
ners, and while they clothed the skeleton forms of the
building revealed the bad taste of our manufacturers.
Finally, on the British side are now painfully manifested
the effects of six months' exposure upon the hangings
and temporary fittings. Where these have not yet been
removed they look faded, shabby, and worn. Turning
to the eastern division of the building we find the Tuni-
sian, American, Swiss, and Italian goods gone. We miss
especially the first named of these compartments, and its
fat, good-humoured, bandy-legged attendant. Ho was in
himself a feature of the Exhibition, and ;an immense at-
traction. Though he could not speak a word of Eng-
lish he was a first-rate salesman, and he disposed of so
many of the flowing white bournuses with which the com-
partment was hung that we fully expect to see that ar-
ticle of Moorish costume quite the rage next season. Tho
French exhibitors aro now exerting themselves energeti-
cally to got away, and their packing cases make quite
show in the nave. The Germans aro slower in moving,
and generally over the foreign division of the building
there is not nearly the same approximation to a com-
plete clearance as on our side. But still the progress made
is considerable. The hoardings that before the opening
separated the different countries have been resumed.
Stalls and counters have to a large extent been dis-
mantled. Tho carpets and tapestry are rolled up,
bronzes and statues for the moat part consigned to their
packing cases, the Amazon taken to pieces, and the Ba-
varian Lion loft almost alone to prowl amid a perfect
wilderness of boxes. Her Majesty must have marvelled
greatly at the change which one short month has
effected; but, in the midst of many unavoidable regrets
at the departed glories of the Exhibition, one source of
pleasure and satisfaction remained. The building, stripped
of its furniture within, and of its canvas covering with-
out, loses nothing in its effect upon the mind. The more
thoroughly it is seen, the more surprising it becomes,
and, after the last traces of the Exhibition have been
removed—when the vast area of the interior is be-
held without obstruction—the public will begin to
understand the grandeur of the edifice which
it has been proposed to destroy. Amid the hurry of
preparation which preceded the opening, one portion of
the work so pressed upon the other that the real aspect
of the building was never revealed. The period is now
rapidly approaching when this will no longer be the case,
when every obstruction will be removed, and the eye left
to roach unrestrained over an interior unparalleled in its
extent, to the remotest corners of which the full light of
Heaven penetrates, and where each pillar and girder is
placed in such due proportion as to give for the first time
the distinct conception of a new order of architecture,
founded on the mechanical genius of the age, and con-
trolled by mathematical laws. The Queen's visit at such
a moment must be regarded as significant of the interest
which she feels in this wonderful structure, and of her
desire for its preservation. She would hardly have come
from Windsor to view the wreck of the Exhibition, the
piles of packing-cases, and the confusion of departure.
The sun shone brightly through tho transparent roof and
walls of the building during her stay, and, notwithstand-
ing the disadvantages under which it laboured, the in-
terior looked exceedingly brilliant.—Times.

THE JUDGE OF TUE LIVERPOOL
COUNTY COURT.
PRESTON, Nov. 11.—This inquiry recommenced this
morning at half-past ten. The court was crowded to
inconvenience, the bench being completely filled by ma-
gistrates, the body of the court by well-dressed inhabi-
tants of Preston, and the galleries by elegantly-attired
females. The Earl of Carlisle took his seat at twenty-
five minutes past ten, and business immediately pro-
ceeded.

Mr. Sergeant Wilkins stated that there were a num-
ber of professional gentlemen from Liverpool and the
neighbourhood, who were present to testify to Mr. Ram-
shay's general demeanour, and who wished to remain in
the court, if the other side had no objection.
Mr. Monk said he could not possibly interfere, after
Mr. Simon, a member of their own profession, had been
refused to be heard as a witness from unintentionally re-
maining in court.
His Lordship directed all witnesses to withdraw.
The Learned Sergeant applied for the notes of Mr.
Ramshay'a speech at the dinner given by him in his
court on his return from the last inquiry,
Some delay took place in procuring the document,
which was handed to Mr. Sergeant Wilkins, who then
proceeded to address his Lordship on behalf of Mr. Ram-
shay. Ile trusted that the adjournment which had taken
place would not be attributed to any want of confidence
in the intrinsic merits of Mr. Ramshay's case, for he
should be prepared to show that the only real:delia-
quents in the business which his Lordsdip was there to
inquire into, were those who had signed the memorial to
his Lordship, many of whom were justly subject to the
greatest censure, if not to the severest punishment. He
went on to denounce the conduct of the memorialists, of
Mr. Whitty, and others, in criticising, unfairly as he
maintained, the conduct of Mr. Ramshay. Sir Robert
Peel had called the press the " fourth estate;" but was
that a reason why that fourth estate should domineer
over the other three? Judges of the land had had
their motives arraigned by this so-called fourth estate.
It was tyranny the most dreadful. The Learned Sergeant
then contended that the case of the memorialists had
crumbled to pieces; that their object was to rob his Lord-
ship of the patronage of the County Court Judge,
by wounding him through the sides of Mr. Ramshay.
Every word of Mr. Ramshay had been perverted to jus-
tify the opposition of Mr. Whitty, and that thing
called the Guardian Society in the town of Liverpool.
He would show that Mr. Ramshay's was a model court,
which the other county court judges would do well to
imitate; and the only, fault which ho (the Learned Ser-
geant) found with Mr. Ramshay was, that instead of
threatening, ho did not begin to act earlier. Upon Mr.
Robertson Gladstone, Mr. Jeffery, and others, the Ser-
geant then poured forth a strong denunciation. What,
ho asked, could be more wicked than to tell the people
of Liverpool that Mr. Ramshay had expressed an un-
favourable opinion of them, when the remark had only
been applied to knavish suitors who came beforo him?
It was a marvellous accident that one of these placards
should be placed at each door, both the back and front
of the court, and when the Judge decided that it was a
contempt they came forward and called that a morbid
state of mind. He would show his Lordship that, in
sending for Mr. Whitty without a warrant there was
nothing contrary tg, the
,Aot of rarli(iumati and ile

would show also that a great deal of the tumult and
calumny now brought before his Lordship, in re-
gard to Mr. Raueshay's conduct, was attributable to
the ad captandum speech of Sir George Stephen.
Instead of admiring Mr. Whitty's tranquillity while
standing before Mr. Ramshay, he (the Learned Ser-
geant) maintained it was the mark of a hard and cal-
lous heart, which was insensible to the proper feelings
of humanity. He submitted to his Lordship that Mr.
Whitty had not been punished at all. The Learned
Sergeant then went on to denounce the Guardian So-
ciety, which he ironically characterised as the 2,000 re-
spectable people out of the 250,000 inhabitants of Liver-
pool, and maintained that they were the alpha and the
omega in this prosecution, as it was termed, but perse-
cution, as he (Sergeant Wilkins) chose to denominate it.
He would, however, give both Mr. Holme and Mr.
Jeffery a word of advice, and that was, to look into some
law library and see the meaning of the word " mainte-
nance." He also advised the constitution-mongers to
reflect a little upon the fact that the judges in Westminster
Hall were themselves the juries in deciding what was
contempt, and the judges in apportioning the punish-
ment. In reference to the charge brought against Mr.
Ramshay, that he had doubled his fist, and prompted the
witness, it was proved both by Sir George Stephen
and another, that the action was merely explanatory.
There was no stronger proof of the effect which had been
produced by the attacks made upon Mr. Ramshay, than
the fact that ho was sent night after night to water his
bed with his tears; he (the Learned Sergeant) was not
a timid man, but he declared to God, in whose presence
he then stood, that if he were asked whether he would
rather meet his enemy with his musket, or be subjected to
these attacks, ho would say, " Destroy me at once rather
than subject me to theSe continual murders." lie would
show his Lordship that Mr. Ramshay's notions of per-
secution were not untounded, and that he would have
been unfit for his office had ho net carried out the means
and method of punishment given him by the Act against
those who committed contempt of his court. Why was
it, he would ask, that Mr. Ramehay had been obliged to
enter upon a self-laudation in his court? Why, be-
cause Mr. Whitty had continually misrepresented
him in his paper, as being a help in the house-
keeper's room and a flunkey at Lord Carlisle's.
It was true that Mr. Ramshay had never read
Mr. Whitty's paper, but ho knew that he had never
given any opinion of the people of Liverpool; and to see
himself placarded was enough to disturb his equanimity.
Mr. Monk had characterised Mr. Ramshay's conduct as
judicial eccentricity." But was there ever such con-
duct pursued towards a judge as had been shown towards
Mr. Ramsbay? He would presently place before his
Lordship the sentiments of Mr. Justice Williams, and it
was remarkable how closely Mr. Ramshay's language
and conduct had squared with those sentiments. The
language used by Mr. Ramshay to Mr. Whitty was
merely giving him some wholesome advice, but the fine
was paid for the son; he (the Learned Sergeant) was of
opinion that it was a pity the Legislature had not given
the judge greater powers. The first article in .Mr.
Whitty's paper was the key to the whole proceedings?
Who were the accusers? Not the solicitors, but the
Guardian Society. In reference to the bill-sticker, the
Learned Sergeant contended that the analogy held good
—his bills were tumbled about, and so was Mr. Barn-
' shay's character. He would address his Lordship and
the Attorney-General as to the law of the case. He then
referred to the case of the King v. Clement, where a fine
was held to be properly inflicted on an editor, for not
obeying an order delivered at his office, prohibiting the
publishing of the trial of Thistlewood and Ings, wherein
it was said that it was expected that all persons would
attend to that admonition. The report was admitted to
be fair, true, and impartial; but, though the defendant
was absent from London at the time, it was held to bo
a contempt of the Court. He (the Learned Counsel)
then referred to the case of the King v. Watson, which
was read by Mr. Ovens, and cited many other autho-
rities, to show that the courts have freely exercised
the right of committal for contempt, or of inflict-
ing a heavy fine for disobedience of merely verbal orders
or admonitions. In the case of Clements the fine was
5001., and Chief Justice Abbot and the whole bench
concurred in its propriety. He next brought before his
Lordship's notice the specific words of the Act of Par-
liament under which Mr. Ramshay had been appointed,
maintained that he had strictly and properly applied its
provisions, and vindicated the powers which had been
vested in him; and who, he would ask, had a right to
complain? Not Mr. Whitty, or the Guardian Society,
nor the people of Liverpool; but Mr. Ramshay himself,
who had from the first been made the victim of continued
misrepresentation and abuse.

The speech of the Learned Sergeant was still proceed-
in: when our report was dispatched. The number of
witnesses to be brought forward is said to be consider-
able. There was a report very prevalent even as late as
this morning that Mr. Ramshay would be advised to re-
sign, but the investigation is not now expected to termi-
nate before Friday next at the earliest. The reply upon
the evidence will devolve upon Mr. Tindal Atkinson,
in consequence of the expressed inability of Mr. Monk
to be present after to-morrow. The excitement both in
Preston and Liverpool is at the highest pitch, and the
result looked for with great anxiety. Mr. Ramshay was
in court to-day during the whole of the proceedings.

ST. ALBAN' S BRIBERY COIII3IISSIO N.
The inquiry was resumed yesterday in the Town-hall
of St. Alban'e, at half- past ten o'clock.
The Commissioners proceeded with the examination
of the voters who were said to have received head-money
at the last or previous election; and up to the hour of
adjournment about 100 more of them were examined. As
on Friday, most of them (including the notorious George
Seeley Waggett, who has at last made his appearance),
admitted without hesitation that they wore paid for their
votes.
The following are the more remarkable cases that
were brought out in the course of the day:—
James Humphreys stated that he received 51. for his
vote at the last election, and two 51.'s for his vote in
1847, viz., 51. from Mr. Simpson, and another 51. from
Mr. Blagge.-
William Mayes, painter, admitted that he got 51. from
Edwards on the 20th of December last, four days before
the election, but maintained that it was for painting
work which he had done at Mr. Edwards's farm in
the preceding May. Witness had not previously
sent in his bill, but he had accidentally seen
Edwards a week before. and reminded him of
it. He received the payment of 51. at Sove-
reign-alley, about ten o'clock at night. Ho had heard
the rumours of the town about what was going on in
Sovereign-alley, but he did not go there with reference
to his vote at all. Ile happened to meet a Mr. Smith,
who said to him, " Let us go in here and get a glass of
wine with Edwards," and ho went accordingly. When
he was there Edwards happened to say, "He is one of
us, you know." Witness said to him, " Now, Mr. Ed-
wards, don't say a word about voting. We're merely
come to take a glass of wine with you." Before leaving
Edwards gave him the Si., which he understood was part
payment of the account for painting, of which he had
reminded him the preceding week. The account was
Si. Bs. 6d. Ho did not give him a receipt. He afterwards
presented Edwards with a bill, in which credit was
given him for the 51. That account was copied from his
ledger. (Witness's day-book and ledger were here pro-
duced and examined by the Commissioners, who found
them in perfect accordance with the witness's statement.)
The reason why he had never asked Edwards for the
balance of Bs. 6d. was that he had a subsequent account
against him, and ho expected that the two would be paid
together.
T. Moore, furniture broker, received 8/. from Edwards
at last election, bat not for his vote. He was engaged in
looking after voters and waiting on the committee day
and night. He believed, however, that if ho had not
had a vote he would not have been employed.
George Seeley Waggett was then called, and took his
place in the witness-box amidst shouts of laughter.
Mr. Slade—Did you vote at the last election, Mr.
Waggett 7 Witness—l did.
Mr. Slade—Did you receive money for your vote ?
Witness—l did.
Mr. Slade—From whom did you receive it ? Wit-
ness—From Mr. Edwards.
Mr. Slade—How much did you receive? Witness-51.
Mr. Slade—Did you vote at the election of 1847 ?
Witness—l did.
Mr. Slade—For whom ? Witness—For Mr. Raphael,
and, I think, Mr. Repton, but I am not certain.
Mr. Slade—Did you receive any money for your vote?
Witness—l did.
Mr. Slade—From whom ? Witness—From Mr.
Edwards.
Mr. Slade—How much ? Witness-51.
Mr. Forsyth—l hope your health is improved by the
mild climate of France, Mr. Waggett ?—(Laughter.)
Witness—l am very much obliged to you, Sir.—(Re-
newed laughter.)
Mr. Plain (at the suggestion of Mr. Gresham) asked
whether 5/, was all ho received for his vote at last
election. Mr. Waggett said it was.
Mr. Gresham—Or for anything else?
The Commissioners refused to put that question, as
not coming within the scope of their inquiry.
[ Waggett is a short, thin, pale-faced man, about 60
years of age, in apparently infirm health.]
John White, boot and shoe maker, received 5/. from
Mr. Edwards at last election, but only for his services,
and not for his vote. If he had not had a farthing
from Edwards he would still have voted for Mr. Bell.
Witness and his father had supported the Liberal in-
terest for 60 years. He received 101. from Mr. Vass in
1847 for his services on behalf of Mr. Craven. He voted
on that occasion " for those honourable gentlemen Mr.
Craven and Mr. Wilke." lie received nuthing for his
services to Mr. Wilke.
Mr. Forsyth—Does the fact of your having had two
votes to 'give in 1847 account for your receiving 101.
then? Witness said that the', canvass lasted longer
in 1847 than in 1850. He could not say that the two
votes had anything to do with it.
Mr. Forsyth—Then you don't wont a certificate?
Witness said he thought he deserved one.
Mr. Forsyth—lf you were not guilty of bribery you
do not need one. Witness said ho did not quite under-
stand what the certificate meant.
Mr. Forsyth—lf you admit you have been guilty of
bribery we will give you a certificate freeing you from
the consequences_of it, otherwise you might be prose-
cuted for it. Now, either you have been guilty of
bribery, and have now denied it, and therefore do not
deserve a certificate, or you were not guilty of bribery,
and
and do not need one.
merely bowed and retired.
The witness, in reply,
Robert Clarke, surgeon, admitted that he received Si.
at the last election for his vote, and that he was also paid
for his vote in 1847.
Mr. Webster, surgeon, was here recalled, and re-
minded of the statement he had made in his previous
examination, that, among the medical men who had at-
tended his patients while he was engaged in the canvass
for Sir R. Carden, and whose accounts he had paid, were
Dr. Hastings and Mr. Hutchison. He* was then asked
if he was sure Dr. Hastings was one? He said ho was
not quite sure. lie thought he bad given riltgoY t 9

Payne, a blacksmith, to pay to Dr. Hastings for attend-
ing him. He also gave es. to another patient, named
King, to pay Mr. Hutchison. Ho could not mention
any other cases in which ho had paid money, though he
had previously stated that he must hare paid between
•./. and 101. in that way. Ile could not show any entries
inhisda-
sti bodoikrneestpley inetaisnkgpg nayments of this kind. Ho
remembered
Dr. Hastings to attend to
his patients during the election.
Dr. Hastings was here called and sworn—He had oc-
casionally attended patients for Mr. Webster, but not
often, and he had no recollection whatever of any ap-
plication onthe part of Mr. Webster to attend to his pa-
tients during his absence at last election. He had never
received a farthing for attending any Mr. Webster's
patients, either from Mr. Webster or the patients them-
selves. Witness had attendedho Payne,l%,ascailethdeinblba;krsmayitnhe,
but not for Mr. Webster.
himself after he had given up Mr. Webster.
J. King, the. patient referred to, was here
called. He
stated that.er. Webster was the medical
attendant of a
club to which ho belonged; that he was ill all the time
of Mr. Bell's
canvass, and Mr. Webster ought to have
attended him, but neglected him.. He was, therefore, at-
tended by Mr. Hutchison. Ile paid Mr.'llutchison'ese
and was repaid by Mr. Webster.
William Hill got; 5/. from Edwards to vote for Mr
Bell at last election, bat did not. He voted for Sir R.
Carden, but got nothing for so voting. He could not
'
explaia why he voted for Sir R. Carden after having re-
ceived 51. to vote for Mr. Bell. Ho did not return the
money to Edwards.
S. Harcourt, millwright, received Si. f iep m Edwards at
the time of last election, but not fur his vote. It was in
part payment of an old account for work done for Ed-
wards. He received nothing for his vote in 1847.
Mr. Edwards, on being examined on this point,
stated that the SI. he gave to Harcourt had nu reference
whatever to the account referred to. It was simply for
his vote., He also gave Harcourt 6/. or 71. for his vote
in 1847.
Harcourt insisted that the money he received in 1850
was not for his vote, and that he did not receive a farthing
from Edwards in 1847.
The Commissioners took some pains to try and
reconcile these contradictory statements, but in vain.
Each party stuck to his original statement.
Joseph Richards, saddler, received 71. for his vote at
last election. His son had since received a place in the
Excise, but witness had nothing to do with .that. His
son had no vote. The place was asked for him by Mr.
John Kinder, of that town. Witness was also paid for
his vote in 1847.
Thomas Rulfit received .5/. from Edwards at last
election, but it was by way of a present, and not for his
vote. He never promised him his vote. He should
have voted for Mr. Bell whether he had received money
or not. On being severely questioned by the Commis-
sioners, as to whether he did or did not actually receive
the money as a bribe, ho at length reluctantly admitted
that it might be so considered.
Thomas Birchmore (one of Seeley Waggett's com-
panions at Boulogne) admitted that he also received
51. from Edwards for his vote at last election.
Mr. Forsyth—l believe you were abroad lately,
Birchmore? Witness—Not very lately, Sir.
Mr. Forsyth—l hope you have returned better?
Witness—Yes, Sir.—(Great laughter.)
Mr. Phin—You've learned French, I dare say ?—(Con-
tinued laughter.)
W. Smith, carpenter, acted with Mr. Edwards on
behalf of Mr. Bell during the earlier period of last
election, and received from him 411. to pay the band,
&c. Finding, however, on looking over his books, that
he had better friends (customers) on Sir Robert Car-
den's side than on Mr. Bell's, he went over to Sir R.
Carden. During the canvass he received a notice from
his landlord to quit the premises he occupied. He could
not say that that notice had any connexion with the
election, but it might have had. Ile would not swear
that he did not think it bad. The notice was served by
the clerk of Mr. Low, Sir R. Carden's agent. His
landlord did ask him for his vote, and he promised him.
That, however, was after he had loft Mr. Edwards. He
had not left the premises. The landlord and he were
now good friends.
Mr. Low begged to be allowed to say, that ho had re-
ceived instructions to serve the notice upon Smith
before Sir R. Carden was in the field.
James Skeggs (another of the missing witnesses)
stated that he received 51. for his vote at last election,
and was also paid for his vote in 1847.
Mr. Phin—You've been to France, too, lately, Skeggs?
—(Laughter.) The witness (an old man), who is ex-
ceedingly hard of hearing, made no reply.
Peter Wood, clerk to Mr. Searanke, received 5/. from
Edwards at the last election, but not for his vote. It
was for acting as clerk to Edwards. Witness would be
twenty-one years of age next June. He was aware he
was not entitled to vote at last election. His name,
however, was on the register, and had been placed there
with his knowledge and consent. It had not been
objected to before the revising-barrister.
Mr. Harris stated, in reply to the Commissioners, that
he could not produce a complete list of tho persons to
whom he had paid head-money on behalf of Mr. Wilks
at the election in 1837. Mr. Wilks had the list.
Mr. Vass produced a list of those to whom he had
paid money.
The list was read. It contained between twenty and
thirty names.
Several voters whose names were called not having
appeared,
Mr. Phin stated, that as the inquiry would probably
terminate to-morrow, he wished it to be known that
those who had been summoned, and who did not then
come forward, would be exposed to serious consequences.
The inquiry was then adjourned till next day.

LAW AMENDMENT SOCIETY.
This useful society met on Monday night at their
rooms, 21, Regent-street, for the first time since the
close of the long vacation. The meeting was nume-
rously attended. Mr. Commissioner Pane was in the
chair ; and among the members present we noticed
Mr. Koe, Q C., Mr. James Stewart, Mr. Lowe; Mr.
Pitt Taylor, Mr. Cooke, Mr. Carpenter Rowe, Q C.,
Mr. Vansittart Neale, Mr. Trower, Mr. Macqueen,
Mr. Power, Mr. Gaussen, &c.
The following gentlemen were balloted for and
elected :—Mr. James Hannen, barrister; Lord
Robert Grosvenor, M.P. ; Mr. 11. P. Roche, barrister;
Baron de Rothschild ; Lord Murray, Lord of Session,

Mr. JAMES STEWART read a report from a com-
mittee of the society to whomit had been referred
" to consider in what respects the law of England
and Scotland can be advantageously assimilated, and to
report as to the best means by which that desirable
object can be attained." The course of proceeding
suggested by that report was to form branch Law
Amendment societies in Scotland, which should co-
operate with the London Society ; and it is
stated that associations with this view had already
been established at Glasgow and Aberdeen, and
that similar societies were in the course of forma-
tion in Edinburgh, Dundee, and Perth. Mr. Stuart
also laid on the table two reports upon the amendment
and assimilation of the laws of England and Scotland,
which had been issued by the societies of Glasgow
and Aberdeen.:
These reports having been received,
Mr. PITT TAYLOR moved that it be referred to a
committee of the society "to consider the present re-
lations between the Bar, the Attorneys, and the Client,
and to report whether any and what alterations can
be made therein with advantage to the public
agreed to; and certain members named with power
to add to their number.

Mr. STEWART next read a paper on what is tech-
nically called the " Judge Master Question," and the
object of which was to show that the business of the
Courts of Equity would be greatly facilitated by an
enactment that should compel the Judges to work
out their own decrees without the intervention of the
Masters in Chancery. The paper referred to valuable
evidence on this subject which was given before a
Committee of the Lords of last session by the Master
of the Rolls and V ice-Chancellor Turner, and it
ended with certain resolutions in favour of the pro-
posed reform. _

- These gave rise to an animated discussion, in which
Mr. Neale, Mr. Cooke, Mr. Commissioner Pane, Mr.
Taylor, and several other gentlemen took part, and it
was ultimately arranged that the paper should be re-
ferred to the Equity Committee, with directions to
that body to report on the subject at as early a period
as possible, it being a matter of very great importance
The other formal proceedings were then disposed of
and the meeting separated.

TUE KING OF HANOVER.—The last accounts from

King had passed an agitated night, and had not recovered

previously.

in good style by Mr. Morrish, of Bell-alley, in the ward), was
given to the children, 89 in number, one being absent through

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
ROLLS' COURT, .Nov. 11.

POPE V. POPE.
This was a special case to take the opinion of the
Court upon the construction of the will of Mr. Field, de-
ceased, a veterinary surgeon in Oxford-street, dated 30th
July, 1833. The testator bequeathed to his daughter
Mary, in trut, 10,0001. Consols, for the joint life of her,
self and any husband that she should marry, and for
that of the survivor ; and then upon their decease to
such of her issue as should be living at the time of the
decease of either. The will contained a provision that
if the issue of his daughter died during the life-time of
herself or husband and leaving issue, the issue of such
of the issue of his said daughter so dying should stand in
the place of his, her, or their parent, as to the share to
which such parent should be entitled. The testator's
daughter married Mr. John Gould; she dying left a
daughter Mary, who married a Mr. Pope, of which
marriage there were two children, John Goould Poo)
and Ernest Pope. The question arose whether Mary
Pope, the mother, should be entitled to take the whole
fund, or the two sons two thirds between them. The
decision depended on the interpretation to be put here
upon the word " issue."
Mr. it)upcll was heard for the plaintiffs; Mr. R.
Palmer for the defendants.
The MASTER of the ROLLS said it was clear the tes-
tator bad used the term issue as meaning child. Th©
word issue in its ordinary tense meant descendants, but
the testator in this case used the term " the issue of
such issue ;" and, therefore, the word issue restricted its
meaning to children. His Honour decided that on the
death of Miry Gould Mrs. Pope, her daughter, became
abs,lutely entitled to the whole fund.—The judgment
was entered ar•cordingly.

PREROGATIVE COURT, NOV: 11.
(Before Sir HERBERT JENNER FUST.)
WILLIAAIS V. WARD AND LAIDLEY INTERVENING.
In this suit it is sought to prove the last will and tes-
tament of John Watson, Esq., late of Belmont, near
Maidenhead, and of Old Cavendish-street, dated the 25th
of January last year. Mr. T. M. Williams, one of the
executors thereof, proceeds against Mr. Ward, an exe-
cutor under a former will. On the part of Mr. Ward
it was pleaded that deceased died on the 25th or 26th of
nhed nieces wn of
sister, Watson,
hi
his
hisl a
whfruult brother,
he at
and
January, 1850, a bachelor, aged 65, and leaving Robert
of an intestacy, would be entitled in distribution. That
at his decease, and for many years before, he had been
in
thedee deceased
the head partner of a mercantile firm in Bengal, the im-
portations from which, consisting of silk,
indigo, rum,
and sugar, amounted to upwards of 100,0001 per annum.
That Mr. Ward, the party to the present suit, was em-
ployed by the deceased in 1638, as his lei 1. •
so ter and
continued 80 until his death. It pleaded that the' de-
ceased executed a will in the year 1839, and in the early
part of 1644, being desirous of making some alterations
in the disposition of his estate and effects, gave instruc-
tions for a new will, which he was anxious should not
interfere with his agents in the management of the
partnership affairs, and which be signed on the 19th
of April in that year. That Mr. Watson, by such
will, devised all his real and personal :estate in Eng.
land and Bengal to trustees, to carry on his business
until the co-partnership expired, and in addition to
certain annuities, bequeathed pecuniary legacies amount-
ing to 85,000/. He gave 20,000/. to his trustees to pay
such parts of the dividends thereof as they thought prop jr
for the maintenance and education of Miss Watsone;aei
illegitimate daughter, during her minority, and on
her attaining 21, to transfer to her the principal
thereof; and he bequeathed to the wife of Mr. Williams
a life annuity of 200/. It pleaded that, on the 25th
January, 1850, the deceased being very ill, Mr. Williams,
the party in the cause, called on Mr. Dimond. a solicitor,
and requested him to call on Mr. Watson, for the pur-
pose of making his will, informing that gentleman that
he had made no will, and wished to make a provision for
his natural daughter; and in reply to a question from
Mr. Dimond, said that the deceased had no solicitor of
his own. That at the time instructions were given for
the will, and also when it was executed, the deceased
appeared to be in a dying state, that his mental faculties
were impaired, and that he was incapable of understand-
ing the contents of the instrument, and the effect it
would have upon his estate its India, or upon the capital
embarked in his business in that country, and especially
with respect to the winding up of his partnership affairs.
That at the time the will now propounded was executed
the will of 1844 was in an unoancelled state, and was
found in a box, which be kept in his room. That the
daughter to whom 20,000/. was bequeathed by the will of
1844, was the same party to whom the annuity of 200/.
was given by the latter will; and that Mr. Abbott, one
of the executors named therein had had no previous
acquaintance with Mr. Watson, but was a friend of Mr.
Williams, and was on terms of intimacy with him. On
behalf of Mr. Williams, the responsive allegation
pleaded, that the deceased sustained serious losses sub.
sequently to the execution of the will of 1844. That
the mercantile firm in which he was head partner re-
quired advances amounting to 290,0004, and that the
deceased's affairs consequently were in a very involved
and embarrassed condition, and his estate was not more
than sufficient to meet the several liabilities thereon.
That the deceased frequently :complained, during the
latter years of his life, of the embarrassed condition of
his affairs, and said he should be a ruined man; and
during the last year of his life expressed a great anxiety
lest his natural daughter, for whom he had always en-
tertained much affection, should be left wholly or nearly
unprovided for. That, shortly before his decease, he
wrote to Sir G. M. Anderson, Governor of Ceylon, ex-
pressing a hope that, under all the circumstances stated
in the letter, he would allow Miss Watson 300/. per
annum. He wrote also to his brother in India, asking
him to protect her. That the deceased, towards the
latter part of his life, had greatly diminished his confi-
dence in Mr. Ward, and had determined on executing a
new will. That, on the 24th of January, 1850, he sent
Mr. Williams, with whom he was on terms of great
friendship, and who had charge of Miss Watson, to his
house at Belmont, to fetch certain boxes of papers,
with the view of making the will now propounded.
That, on the following morning, being warned
by his medical attendant of the necessity of
settling his affairs, he, on the return of Mr.
Williams, requested that gentleman to fill up a will
paper. This Mr. Williams declined to do so, and pro-
posed to send for Mr. Ward or Mr. Laidley, which
proposition was negatived by the deceased, who told him
to call in any professional man ho liked. On asking
him whom ho wished to appoint executors, he replied
that he could place confidence in Mr. Williams, and
would appoint him. That on Mr. Williams suggesting
various parties to be associated with him, the testator
replied, " No, name any one you like." Captain Abbott
was named, and immediately approved of by the de-
ceased. It pleaded also that Mr. Williams, in accordance
with the desire expressed by Mr. Watson that he should
call in a solicitor to prepare his will, waited on Mr.
Dimond, with whom he was not previously acquainted,
but did not inform him either that the deceased had
no professional adviser of his own, or that he had
made no will. On the contrary, ho mentioned that the
deceased did not wish to call in his own solicitor.
That on the day of the testator's funeral the will
of 1844 was discovered in a box containing old account
books and loose papers, with the envelope ure-
sealsd, and was not in the room in which he died.
Tara his usual manner of speaking was very quiet,
slow, and gentle, which was increased by his illneas;
but that his faculties were not in the least impaired or
debilitated at the time he executed his last will. It
pleaded is conclusion that he was advised by his medi-
cal attendant to settle his affairs, and was at the time
perfectly capable of understanding the effect which his
will would have upon his estate and partnership.
Dr. HARDING appeared for Mr. Williams, and con-
tended that the capacity of the testator was most clearly.
proved; and the only difficulty, if any, which appeared
in the case was Mr. Dimond seeming to doubt now about
an net in which ho took an active part at the time. The
features of the will propounded appearing somewhat sin-
gular, and at variance with previous dispositions, might
be attributed to the changes which had occurred in, his
circumstances, and from the securing 2001. per annum,
being the suggestion, not of deceased, but of Mr. Di-
mond, whose views of the legal machinery to carry his
intentions into effect were adopted by the deceased, lie
submitted that the Court would feel bound to pronounce
for the capacity of the deceased and the will of 1850.
Mr. DEANE followed on the same side.
Mr. Robinson appeared for Mr. Laidley, a nephew of
the deceased, and supported the will.
Dr. JENNER, on behalf of Mr. Ward, said he did not
contended
tend to rest his case either on insanity or del that, owing to the testators 'delusion, but
weakness of mind
he must have been effected thereby, and this was borne
out by medical testimony. It seemed the testator, as
well as Mr. Williams, was ignorant
of anyformer will,
although the one of 1844 was in the . room when the
later one was signed. Without imputing
any wrong in-
tention to Mr. Williams,
l whose motives might have bees
very good, that gentleman had acted in ignorance of
what had been formerly, and Mr. Dimond had taken for
granted all that Mr. Williams had told him; whereas
all difficulty would have been removed had the testator
been questioned about the former will, and the state of
his affairs. The testimony of Mr. Dimond showedo
nr
Wat-
t have
that
if ho had known the state of the case he woul
v
allowed the latter will to have been made b d
Mtie case, the
Wat-
son. There being a deficit probatio
in
Learned Advocate submitted that the Court must pro-
nounce for the will in dispute.:
Dr. R. Phillimore appeared on the same side.
Drs. Harding and Robinson replied.
Judgment deferred.
