gate at the top of Tottenham-conrt.road, for eiaa.
mg toll from him when marching at the head of his
Corps, contrary to an MI of Parliament ; Mt. BOND,
the Sitting Magistrate, agreeing with the Captain
that there was good ground for' complaint, and
knowing Mr. Handly, the lessee, to be a respedable
Man,, sent him a note requesting his attendance at
the Office on Friday evening. At the appointed
time the parties atiended.
Capt. Barber produced the An of Parliament
upon which he grounded his complaint; it was
brought into Parliament by Mr. Addington, a short
time previous to the close of his Administration, and
taken up by Mr.. Pitt, with some alterations, and
lately passed. It is entitled, "AnAn to Consoli-
date and' Amend the Provisions ,uf several Ads of
Parliament refacing to Volunteers in-Great Britain,"
The Clause applicable .to the present case states,
41' That any Field be Staff Officer, in going to nr,
:returning froth any place of exercise, mounted, and
in uniform, ;should nut be liable to pay toll at any
turnpike gate."
The Captain then. stared, that the Corps which he
had the honcur to 'Command Wenr, on the first Sunday
in every month, to shoot at a" target, at Chalk:Farm, '
and that he hid passed through the turnpike gates
without any interruption till the first-Sunday in tie
present month, when he was attuning from Chalk
Farm, .at-the head uf his Corp, along the Hampstead
road, and when he came to the toll-gate at the top
of Tottenham.court•road, Mr; Handly was attend-
ing at' it, and; demanded toll ; the Captain informed
hint he was not liable to pay, in consequence of an
Mt of Parliament having lately passed wnich exone.
rated him.
Mr. Handly replied, he had heard of the MI,
but had greit doubts shout it ; and that he should
not pass without paying the toll, and shut the gate,
which prevented the Cotps, as well as the Captain,
from proceeding on their march, and the Captain
was at length obliged o comply, and_ paid him'
three halfpence. The DUKE of CUMBRRLAND only
patroni4es this Corps, a, d has nothing 'to do with
the command, that bring solely ye- led in Captain
Berber, who start d, that he had taken Counsel's
opinion as to his being a Field Officer, who was de-
cidedly of opinion he is one. ' Mr. .BoNo-and Sir
WILLIAM PARsOrii agreed in this opinion, and
farthercontended, that even a Corporal in uniform,
and mounted, who had a ComMand, saas a Field.
Officer forthe.time. Mr. HUNTr it decidedly dif.
fered from-his brother . Magistrates, and gave it ai
hi opinion that -no Officer -of lower rank than a
Major is a • Fi.eld.Offieer, and. denied that Com•
Minder and Field-Officer were synnnimoni 'terms,
and said, he:supposed the numbers of the Corps
ere not sufficient to entitle the Comm ender to any.
hieer rank than ! Captain. To which Captain
Barber replied, the numbers were.one hundred and
twenty, and lie had nod :Ulu if he a, for a
higher rank, he shtiuld ohtatL, it; but he tiv,tig!lt the
preient rank he -had the 11,,,0ur to hold, sufficient

that Capt. Bather was_ exempted -from toll, deter.
.mined that Mr, Handly sliouid return the three half.
pence, and say he.wati sorry iori What he had (lonia—
with both of which Mr. Ilaodly refused to comply.
The Magistrates then found themselves in a very
difficult stuLition'.. for on examining the AO it was
discovered, that the framer of the AA had omitted
toinsert any punishment to the Gatekeeper who
should refuse to comply with the exemption: Mr.
Handly , was therefore, of course, discharged.—
