LONDON,
THURSDAY EVENING, AUGUST 6, 1835.

The proceedings at the Bar of the House of Lords
have never, in our times at least, been paralleled.
After an inquiry into the state of Municipal Corpora-
tions instituted by the House of Commons, and con-
tinued by a Commission, issued in consequence of an
address of the House of Commons, the Lords have
been occupied in an attempt to defeat the decision. of
the other House of Parliament, and to disappoint the
hopes of the people, by the examination of witnesses
against the Bill for Corporate Reform. There have
been examined against the Bill, the Town-clerks of
Coventry, Grantham, Worcester, Oxford, Leicester,
Bristol, &c.—together with an Alderman, and another
dependant or two ! These witnesses, so disinterested
and so impartial, have been examined by Messrs.
WETHERELL and KNIGHT, in a style hitherto
unknown in our Courts of Justice. The Lords
seem disposed to extend the same ample license
in the examination which they vouchsafed to the
speeche3 of Counsel. It was a curious sight to
see Lords BROUGHAM and PLUNKETT within
the House, and now and then a lawyer or two behind
the bar, with difficulty suppressing their laughter at a
scene so foreign to the usual proceedings of judicial
bodies. It is hardly possible to suppose that wit-
nesses could be examined to matters of hearsay, of
opinion, and of belief; and requested to answer ques-
tions proposed in a tone solemn, affected, and pom-
pous, by men who, however skilled in the intricate
mysteries of Chancery, have rarely been engaged in the
practical investigation of truth, according to forms which
have been sanctioned by the experience and the wisdom
of those who have presided in the Courts of Common
Law, without interruption from the liberal Lords.
We think the Lords should not interrupt, as the in-
terrogatories are in strict keeping with the whole of the
conduct of the case. The people of England, at least
that part of them who inhabit Corporate towns, will know
what value to place upon the evidence in favour of self-
elected Corporations, which is derived from Town Clerks!
Mother H., when brought up to Bow-street, for out-
raging all decency and order, was always attended by
several of the well-dressed frail sisterhood, who swore,
in opposition to the Police, that Mother H. kept the
most decorous, quiet, and orderly house in the neigh-
bourhood.

" There is nothing like a fair trial,
Where the King appoints his own Judge and Jury ! "
SouTH ET

Sir CHARLES WETHERELL is the Recorder of
Bristol, and has been already unhappily distinguished
in connection with that Corporation. At the Bristol
Riots, in 1831, which an Elective Corporation would
have put down in an hour, the legal KnighL made his
escape in an old woman's clothes. Yesterday, he was
employed in defending his own unpopularity as a mem-
ber of the Corporate body, by examining Mr. BUR-
GESS, a Deputy Town Clerk of that ancient and
loyal City. In the course of his examination, he read
a passage from the Report of Sir JOHN GAMBIER
and Mr. DRINKWATER, and then he propounded
the following question :—" Now, Sir, I ask you whe-
ther this part of the Report is not a scanda-
lous falsehood ?" To this question the Learned
Counsel could not procure the adoption of his words
by way of answer from Mr. BURGESS. This is how-
over a matter of minor importance—the cross exami-
nation of Mr. BURGESS effectually established, by the
testimony of an enemy, the honour of the Commis-
sioners. Now Mr. BURGESS is an attorney ; he is
the client of Sir CHARLES WETHERELL 011 the
Bristol case ; Mr. BURGESS refused to take Sir
CHARLES WETHERELL'S words ; the inference is
obvious—Sir CHARLES WETIIERELL was not in-
structed to ask the question : he imported his own in-
temperate feelings into the case—he united the poli-
tical partizan with his character of advocate, and he
has thereby degraded the high and honourable profes-
sion of which he is a member. Is this Recorder fit
for the office of Judge ? Can we wonder after this
exhibition at the sentiments of the people of Bristol
concerning him ? Is it not grievoUs to see a scholar
(for such Sir CHARLES is) and an old man so fierce
and intemperate ?
