WINCHESTER, FEB. 29.

Martha Primrose and Kitty Boyes were indicted for
having forged a certain certificate, purporting to be the
certificate of Benjamin Lara, a physician, of the disability
of Ellen, the wife of John Goldsmith, a seaman, to attend
at the Nary-office to receive payment on an allotment order,
and also an authority purporting to be an order of the said
Ellen Goldsmith on the Treasurer of his Majesty's Nary,
for the payment to Primrose of the amount slue on the
allotment order of the said Ellen Goldsmith, with intent
to defraud John Goldsmith.

John Middleton, a messenger at the Nary Pay-office,
proved that on Monday, the 14th of November, Primrose
produced to bim the certificate and order, and she put her
mark to the receipt for the money, 18s.
Margaret Raymond stated, that Primrose told her she
wanted to get a sick note signed in order to get Ellen's
money from the dock-yard, and afterwards asked her to
take her to the letter-writer, as she wanted her to write a
letter for her. Witness took her to Boyce. Primrose
then put down a shilling, and said to Boyes, that she
wanted her to write two or three lines for her. Primrose
told Boyes what to write, either Lind or Lara. This was
on a Monday. Went with prisoner to the dock-yard
gates. Saw her in about an hour and a half afterwards,
when she said she had got Ellen's money.
Dr. Lara proved that the writing was not his. Ellen
Goldsmith died on Sunday, Nov. 13.
The Jury found Primrose Guilty--Death, and acquitted
Boyes.
Thomas Sawley was indicted for feloniously killing
and slaying James Jackson, on the 18th of October, at
Newchurch, in the Isle of Wight, by striking him a blow
with his fist.

The Learned JUDGE summed up, and the Jury acquitted
the prisoner.

NORTHAMPTON, FEB. 29.

James Ball, aged 27, John Cunninyton, aged 40,
William Giddings, aged 24, and Robert Payne, aged 24,
were capitally indicted for wounding Thomas Rayson, one
of the Marquis of Exeter's gamekeepers, with intent to
murder him, maim him, disable him, do him some grievous
bodily harm, or prevent him from lawfully apprehending
them.

On the night of Tuesday, the 27th (of December last,
some shots being heard in Lord Exeter's preserves, 'near
King's-cliff, the prosecutor Rayson proceeded with four as-
sistants to West Haywood, where they saw a party of
twelve or thirteen poachers. Rayson called out to them.
" Iloilo, my lads, what are you doing there?" To which
the poachers replied, " You are the very lads we wanted,
come on, we are ready for you." The poachers then ad-
vanced towards the keepers, and struck at them with the
butt-ends of their guns, and with bludgeons. The keepers,
one of whom had a gun, one a sabre, and three had
bludgeons, guarded themselves as well as they could, and
retreated with their faces towards their assailants. After
the conflict had lasted some minutes, one of Rayson's
men was knocked down, upon which Rawson struck a
man whom he believed to be Cunningto❑ on the lace
with his stick, laid his face open, and brought
him to the ground. Rayson himself was instantly knocked
down, and when down he received several blows about the
head until be became insensible. When be came to him-
self the poachers were gone away. He crawled home with
great difficulty, and for upwards of a fortnight his life
continued i❑ great danger. Six of his teeth were knocked
out. the bones of his nose were fractured, his cheek severely
cut, his head wounded, and his arm had received a dan-
gerous contusion. The next morning five locks and other
parts of guns were found on the scene of action, besides a
quantity of blood, and some of the prosecutor's teeth : and
a number of holes in the ground were perceived, as if made
by the blows of gun stocks. Ball and Payne were posi-
tively sworn to by one of the keepers, both from person
and voice ; the stock of a left-handed gun, broken but
glued together again, was found in Gidding's chimney, to
which a left-handed gun-lock found in the wood exactly
fitted; and Cunnington was seen going home from towards
the wood at midnight with a cut on his cheek, and dressed
in the manner described by the prosecutor.
The Jury acquitted Cunnington, and found the other
three prisoners Guilty.

SUN OFFICE, Seven o' Clock.

IMPERIAL PA RLIAMENT

OF THIS EVENING.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.

Mr. CHAY TOR brought in two Bills for constructing
Wet Docks at Hartlepool, in the county of Durham, and
also for improving the town and harbour of Hartlepool ;
which were read a first time.

Mr. GORDON roselneipddcaetaobenotfteyneatdobpphmtlresent three petitions from
parishes in Ireland against the system of education proposed
by his Majesty's Government. In the opposition to that mea-
sure he stated there was a greater unanimity of feeling in
Ireland than there had been upon any subject connected with
the Church, as a proof of which he would state, no sooner
was the letter of the Right Hon. Gentleman opposite (Mr.
Stanley) to the Duke of Leinster made known,
than the friends of scriptural education in-
stantly held meetings in all parts of Ireland to
record their hostility to it. In Dublin, a meeting had
been held which he might confidently say represented the
feeling of the whole country. The Dean and Chaper of
Dublin lost no time in recording their opinions, which
were addressed to the Archbishop of Dublin, and the clergy
of the diocese met upon the same subject. The Protestants
of Ireland were in fact unanimous in their opposition to

objections to the plan proposed by his Majesty's Govern-
ment; at the same time it was his firm belief that a great
portion of that feeling was founded on an erroneous im-
pression of the objects which his Majesty's Government had
in view. A Noble Friend of his had had a petition for some
time upon the same subject from the presbytery of Ulster,
and upon the presentation of that petition, he would show
that the object of his Majesty's Government was to encou-
rage, as far as possible, the use of the Bible in scriptural
education—to give the greatest possible religious instruc-
tion to Protestants which they were willing to receive, and
to Catholics which they were willing to receive.
Mr. LEADER advocated the plan adopted by his Ma-
jesty's Government, and said that various attempts were
made in England as well as in Ireland, to raise a clamour
against that plan. He implored the British public to sus-
pend their judgment until an opportunity offered istelf to
have the subject fairly discussed.
Sir J. NEWPORT deprecated further discussion in
the present stage of the question.
Sir R. BATESON wished to know when the Noble
Lord opposite (Acheson) intended to present the petition
on this subject which he had in his possession.
Lord ACHESON observed that he would present it as
early as he possibly could.
Mr. STANLEY suggested the propriety of not present-
ing that petition till the Recorder of Dublin was present.
Mr. LEFROY observed, that he thought there was but
very little prospect of the return of that Learned Gentle-
man to town for some time, in consequence of the ill.
health of a member of his family, he thought, however,

(PRICE 7D.)

it would be attended with great convenience if Hon. Meru-
bers would bring forward all petitions on this subject in
a body.

Mr. SHEIL, though he admitted that the opinion of the
Recorder might be extremely important on this subject,
did not see the necessity of postponing the presentation of
the petition on account of his absence.
After a few words from Mr. WYSE and Mr. H. GRAT-
TAN, the petition was brought up and ordered to lie on the
table.

Mr. A. JOHNSTONE presented a similar petition from
the Elders of the Scotch Church of the city of Aberdeen.
Mr. J. CAMPBELL presented a petition from certain
manufacturers in London, in favour of the Cotton Factories
Regulation Bill. The Hon. Member also presented peti-
tions from two individuals in favour of the Arbitration
Bill.

Mr. WALKER presented a petition from a parish in
Ireland, against the Tithe system.
Mr. LAMBERT supported the prayer of the petition.
Mr LEFROY rose, and at some length entered into a
defence of Dr. Newland, aeainst certain charges made
against him on a former day relative to his having sued
some of his parishioners for tithes.

Mr. WALKER, in reply, repeated the charges which
he had before made.
After a few words from Mr. GRATTAN and Mr.
BLACYNTY,

Mr. STANLEYgave notice, that on Thursday he would
call the attention of the House to the report of the
Select Committee upon the tithe question. He therefore
hoped that the Hon. Member for Waterford would consent
to postpone his motion, which stood for that day.
Sir J. NEWPORT was understood to assent to the
suggestion of the Right Hon. Gentleman.
Mr. SLANEY adverted to an Act which had passed
last session for the regulation of benefit societies, and
wished to know whether it was intended to extend the
the time for Members to enrol themselves under that Act.
He had understood that the Hon. Member from Boston in
tended to bring in a Bill to extend the time of enrolment,
and he wished to know whether that was still his
intention ? He also wished to ask the Right Ho-
nourable Secretary of State for the Home Depart-
ment, whether he would object to a Committee to
consider the provisions of the Acts, with a ♦iew, if neces-
sary, to their alteration. Great inconveniences have arisen,
though chiefly, he believed, from misconception, and it
was desirable that an opportunity should be afforded to cor-
rect the mistake.

Mr. WILKES said he had intended to give notice
that on the 13th of March he would move for leave to
bring in a Bill to amend the General Friendly Society Act,
and to extend the period of enrolment for two years,
which Bill, he believed, would meet with the concurrence
of the House. It would be desirable to appoint a Cm-
mittee, either this Session or the next, to take into consi-
deration the objections to the present Bill.
Mr. PORTMAN said that great alarm already pre-
vailed among the friendly societies, which arose chiefly
from misconception, and sure he was that most
of the objections to the Bill had no foundation
in fact. He was anxious that a period of two years should
be given, which in his opinion, would have the effect of
dispelling all doubt and alarm on the subject.
Mr. LAMB approved of the Bill proposed to be brought
in by the Hon. Member (Mr. Wilkes), and was confident
that if two years were given, such explanations would take
place as would clear up all doubts.
Sir RICHARD VYVYAN deprecated such discussions
upon the presentation of petitions, and suggested that
some arrangement should be made either to defer petitions
to the close of the business, or to receive them
all before motions came on, or that those not
disposed of in the usual time, should be placed first on the
list for the following day. He begged to call the Noble Lord's
(Althorp) attention to this subject, for it was pre-
posterous that in a regular debate the Speaker should
only be allowed to address the House once, and
that o❑ the presentation of a petition Members took the
opportunity of speaking several times. In the present
instance, in which was a petition respecting tithes in
Ireland had been presented, and a discussion raised upon
it, and there were also introduced discussions respecting
Dr. Newland and the Friendly Society Act.
Lord ALTHORP was understood to say that he thought
the suggestions of the Right Hon. Baronet were well
worthy the consideratio❑ of the House, for the present
mode of presenting petitions was attended with great in-
convenience.

Mr. HUNT considered the difficulty would be obviated
by appropriating one day in a week to the presentation of
petitions.
Mr. LITTLETON thought, that if the Speaker's list
was allowed to be gone on with till seven o'clock, every
difficulty would be obviated.
Sir R. PEEL said, that in his view the only course to
get rid of the difficulty would be by compelling Members
in presenting petitions only to state the object of them,
and not allow them to enter into irrelevant discussions.

Alderman WAITHSIAN thought that the privilege
Members had of preventing petitions had been shamefully
abused.

Sir R. VYVYAN proposed, that instead of closing the
presentations of petitions at five o'clock, they should be
allowed to be presented till six. _ .

Mr. BRISCOE objected to the adoption of such a
course until the Reform Bill had passed.
Lotd ALTHORP, in mo%ing the order of the day,
made a few observations, which were inaudible in the
gallery.

-Dlr. CROKER trusted that before the order of the day
was called on for proceeding with the Reform Bill,
the Noble Lord would allow him to present the peti-
tion of which he had given notice last night. The Right
lion. Gentleman then presented a petition from the Mayor,
Aldermen, freemen, and other inhabitants of Helstone,
complaining of the decision of the House in disfranchising
that borough.

(LEFT SP/AXING.)

HOUSE OF LORDS.

Clayton's Divorce Bill engaged their Lordships' atten-
tion till a few minutes after Five o'clot.k, when the Loan
CHANCELLOR took his seat on the Woolsack.

Mr. MILLs and others from the Commons brought up
two private Bills.
Viscount STRANGFORD presented a petition from
Yeovil against the importation of foreign gloves. The
Noble Lord postponed his motion for a Select Committee
on the glove trade, from Tuesday next till Thursday.
The Marquis of LONDONDERRY gave notice that on
Monday next he would put some questions to the Noble
Earl (Grey) opposite, relative to the conduct of Lord
Ponsonby while on an embassy in Belgium.
On the motion of the Earl of WfocLow, the Irish
Banking Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be
committed on Tuesday, when the Noble Earl stated he
would propose some important alterations.
Lord TEYNHAM presented a petition from Maid-
stone, praying for the limitation of the working hours of
children in factories.

The Marquis of LONDONDERRY was not aware with
what intention the Noble Chancellor of Ireland had moved
for the papers connected with the emoluments of his secre-
tary, but he had seen in the Irish newspapers a list el
places and pensions enjoyed by the Noble Lord's family--
in all amounting to twenty-two persons, and 26,000/.
That list he then held in his hand—he hid not heard
that any of those papers had been prosecuted, nor had any
contradiction appeared of that list, therefore he trusted
that the Noble and Learned Lord would amend his
motion so as to embrace and include in it the whole of the
places filled by his relations. This would be the only way
of meeting the slander, if slander it was, as the Noble
Lord seemed to have HO objection to prosecutions. He
thought it was inconsistent with the professions of eco-
nomy made by the present Government to see so many
places filled by the relations of one of their high Mem-
bers. He considered that the present Government
of Ireland was fast bringing that country to ruin. He
would quote the words of Mr. O'Connell used at a meet-
ing in Ireland, as they pretty nearly agreed with his own
opinions. There never was a worse Legislature, nor a
more venal politician than Lord Plunkett.—( Loud cries
of " Order, order," from both sides of the House.)
fie regretted that such a character was one of the Council
of his Majesty ; he considered that a Noble Lord was in-
competent for such a post, who could give advice to his
Majesty to return such an answer as had lately been given
to the Corporation of Dublin.—(Laughter.)
Lord RADNOR spoke to order. He inquired whether
the Noble Marquis intended to conclude with a motion.
The Marquis of LONDONDERRY was going to pre-
sent a petition which he considered would answer the same

Sereral Nobe Lord, unpo• the Ministerial aide here
rose, amongst whom was Earl Radnor, who was generally
called for. He said he again spoke to order. The Noble
Marquis bad said when before called to order, that
he was about to present a petition, and so had been
allowed to go on with a serious charge against the Noble
and Learned Lord ; now that he had finished that, he de-
clined to present the petition, but by the rules of the
House that could not be done—he must present it.
The Marquis of LONDONDERRY again rose, and
declined at present to present the petition.
Several Noble Lords again rose at once.
Lord PLUNKETT said he spoke to order. He called
upon the Noble Marquis to present the petition, as he was
bound to do by the rules of the House.
The Marquis of LONDONDERRY again declined to
present the petition.

.
Amidst great confusion Lord PLUNKETT said 1e
take the liberty of proposing a resolution to their Lord
ships upon the subject. He would move that the Noble
Lord be called upon to present kis petition, or be declared
out of order.

Lord ELLENBOROUGH said, the Noble Marquis
had said, at the time when he was called to order, that
he intended to preaew a petition before he sat down;
therefore he should have done so; but there was one case
in which it was the practice of the House to allow Noble
Lords to change their opinions almost in a moment
—that was, when the House came to a vote.—(Hear.)
Noble Lords were allowed to hand in, first a proxy
on one side, and almost in a moment after, hand in one for
the other side, which might be called a change of the Noble
Lord's opiuion ; so it might be with the Noble
Marquis, who might (as regards the presentation of
the petition) have changed hi. opinion since he made
the promise. If it was therefore intended by the
resolution to pass a vote of censure upon ,the Noble Mar-
quis he would decidedly ebject to it.
A number of their Lordships here arose. Earls GREY
and RADNOR, who were called for, the former of whom
gave way to the latter Nobleman, who said he again rose
to order, but had not said above three or four words, when
Lord ELLENBOROUGH also rose to order, which
called up several Noble Lords on the Ministerial side. A
scene of great confusion ensued, which was put an end to
by the Lord Chancellor, who said he was perfectly aware
that, as Speaker of that House, he had no power
hardly even to make a suggestion. No doubt that- was a
wise regulation of their Lordships, or it would not have
been one of their Lordship. orders, but through
it, that House had been presented one of the most
disorderly aspects during the last two sessions of Parliamnt,
that he had ever seen. He Was bound to tell their Lord-
ships that every one who had spoken, was equally out of
order, there being no question before the House. The
better way would be for their Lordships to allow him to read
the resolution, which would have the effect of reducing
them to a state of some sort of order. The resolution
was then handed up to his Lordship, and was to
the following effect :—" That the Earl Vane having ri en in
his place without any question before the House, and
having said, when called to order, that he had a petition to
present, and having refused to make any motion or pre•a
sent that petition, was guilty of a breach of order.
Lord PLUNKETT then rose and was left speaking,
