ABDUCTION.

Thos. Gannon, Michael Quiglg, and Michael Davis,
were indicted for carrying away Melessina Bossy, on the
night of the 23d of May last, with the intent to compel
her to marry Thomas Gannon.
The first witness produced by the Crown was Miss
Bossy, an extremely interesting young lady, very pale, and
extremely delicate. Being sworn, she deposed as follows :
Her name is Melessina Bossy ; on tl e 23d of last May
she, lived at Lowpark, her brother's house. Was ac-
quainted with the prisoner (Gannon) ; he was paying his
addresses ti witness up to eighteen months before 23d of
May ; witness did not continue to receive his addresses the
whole of that time; the courtship ceased before 23d May ;
a corresporr fence did exist between her and prisoner ; he
renewed his addresses about four or five weeks before 23d
May ; did not see him that day before ; does not recollect
seeing him alone, or with some of the family ; Mrs. Henry
Bossy, after sitting some time in the room, asked her to
take a walk with her and prisoner; did so accordingly ;
forgets whether any person was in the parlour; prisoner
was in it; her sister was in the room ; is sure she was ;
prisoner said witness should go with him ; she then ran
into a closet ; her sister and sister-in-law ran in also ; they
fastened the door inside, and bolted it ; some person forced
open the door ; it was bolted with a small bolt inside ;
three or four men came into the parlour, and when they were
dragging her down stairs, prisoner called for pistols ;
was in the closet when the men came in ; they dragged
witness out of the closet ; they also dragged her through a
field ; they continued using force as they crossed the fi-ld
to the road ; they put her into a chaise ; broke the win-
dows to try to speak to the driver; it stopped at a public-
house for a few minutes; it proceeded to Moate, and stopp,cl
at Mr. Carr's ; witness wanted prisoner to let her outon the
road to en back ; prisoner alone was in the chaise with wit-
ness ; did speak and make a noise ; prisoner put his hand
on her mouth ; made the noise to try to get away ; Carr
is brother-in-law to prisoner ; does not know how many
miles Moate is from Lowpark ; believes it to be about
nine miles ; was taken no farther than Carr'a house ; she
there got out of the chaise, and went into the house ;
thought it better to go into the house than go farther ;
continued there that night till tpxt evening ; wanted to
get away whilst there; does not know what prevented
her from going away ; the police came, which enabled her
to go away.
The Jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty. On the
verdict being announced, a shout of approbation was raised
in the Court.

On Monday last, Captain STEVENSON, of
the Ant trader, sailed from York to Hull. The wind
being very contrary, he laid the vessel to, at Water Ful-
ford, and landing on the Fulford side of the river, he
walked back to York, intending to spend a few hours
here, and return to his vessel in the evening. As he ap-
proached Fulford landing, he saw a woman walking, who
disappeared suddenly, and on running to the spot he
found her floating on the water, her clothes having buoyed
her up. Her eyes were open, and she had never been
overhead. Holding by the grass, Mr. STEVENSON slid
down the bank, which was there rather steep, and reaching
out his foot, the woman got hold of it, and he pulled her
by this means to the shore. After he bad extricated her
from her perilous situation, be questioned her as to her
name, &c. ; and she told him her name was BAINES, and
that she was the widow of JOSEPH BAINES, shoemaker,
who bad died of the chole, a a week or two ago. She had
been troubled in her mind ever since, and wanted to get to
her late husband. That morning, having fed her children,
she came out with the design of drowning herself, but, by
the Providential arrival of Capt. STEVENSON, she was
prevented.— Yorkshire Gazette.

TRIUMPH OF TEMPERANCE.—It has often
been asserted that the Jews in consequence of their tem-
perate habits enjoy the blessings of health and longevity
in a greater degree than we see in any other race : as a
remarkable proof of this hypothesis in Cheltenham, where
there are about 18 or 20 of tnat nation, there are 5 indi-
viduals, the youngest of whom is 80 and the oldest 93,
and with the exceptisn of one who is blind, they are in
possession of almost unimpaired faculties ; and in Coven-
try out of a community of 6, pre 2 (man and wife) who
have attained the age of 101 and 104.

ORIGIN OF GIPSIES.—About this time, too,
swarms of unknown strangers made their appearance,
brown in complexion, foreign in aspect, ill supplied with
clothing; their leader was named MiciraEL, or, as he
styled himself, Duke MICHAEL of Eevpt : his followers
were known by the name of CINGARI or ZINGARI (in
German, ZIGEUNER, gipsies). So little was known of
oriental languages in those times, that these adventurers
could tell what tale they pleased about their origin. They
pretended to have come from Lower Egypt, and to belong
to the number of those who had not received JOSEPH and
MARY; that they had now become Christians, and were
bound on a seven years' pilgrimage. It has at length
been conjectured, from their language, that they were dri-
ven out by the great convulsions of India, when the dy-
nasty of the Sultan of GHALJR was overthrown by Pia
MOHAMMED JEHAN GHIA, the grandson of
Lardner's Cyclopcedia. History of Switzerland.
SINGULAR CASE OF DROWNING.—An In-
quest was held on Monday at the Barley-mow, Mount-street,
Grosvenor-square, on the body of M. W. LA RIVIEF,E)
aged 22, the son of M. LA RIVIERE the celebrated dancing
master, of Greek-street, Soho. On Saturday morning the
deceased was bathing in the Serpentine River, when he
ventured beyond his depth, and being exhausted, soon
began to sink. A boatman put off from the receiving-
house, and arrived at the spot just as the young man dis-
appeared. The drags were put into operation, and .n a
few minutes the senseless body of the deceased was raised
to the surface; and in a few seconds after, being placed in
the boat, a convulsive nmvement of the lips betokened
animation. He was speedily conveyed to the Humane
Society's Receiving. house, and being bled and placed in a
warm bath, be so far recovered as to be able to speak. His
breathing however was difficult and laborious, and he
complained of a suffocating sensation in the chest. M. LA
RIVIERE being sent for, in a short time arrived, and entered
freely into conversation with his unfortunate son, when
the difficulty of breathing increased. About noon, being
perfectly sensible, he said to his father, " good bye, we shall
again meet in a better world," and in about five minutes
afterwards he breathed his last. The surgeons who at-
tended him, attributed his death to a quantity of mud and
water having entered his lungs through the wind-pipe,
which it was impossible to extract, a thing which rarely
occurs in drowning.—Verdict, " Accidentally drowned."

Mr. HUNIE presented a petition from the vestrymen
of St. Marylebone, complaining of the exrense of the
new police. Before the new police was established, the
expense of watching the pariah was but 9.0001., and now
it amounted to no less than 24,0001. He (Mr. Hume)
had ascertained that of that latter sum, not more than one-
h•alf was expended upon the officers who were actuaLy
on duty in the parish. The petitioners had therefore a
just ground of complaint. It appeared by the returns that
not less than 206,8881. bad been collected for the police
during the year 1831—a sum twice as much as was
collected under the old system. He (Mr. Hume)
would have expected that if 100,0001. were expended under
different authorities, surely the same amount under one
head would have been sufficient instead of double the
amount. He had five or six similar petitions from other
perishes, making the same complaint. If to the debt of
150,000/. left by the old vestry of Marylebone, the dif-
ference between 9,0001. and 24,000/. be added, the bur-
den would be very grievous.

Mr. LAMB said-the expenditure upon the new police
was certainly very large, but it should be considered that
that force was much more efficient than the old one.
Every care would be taken to examine into the expenses,
and, if possible, to reduce them ; indeed, he would not
object to a Committee to inquire into the subject. It
should be borne in mind that for the 9,0001. the parish of
Marylebone had a very indifferent police.
Sir JOHN BRYDGES was not able to say whether
the expense was excessive—but he bore testimony to the
efficiency of the police, and the strict attention and soldier-
like appearance which they exhibited. Their conduct was
very soldierly, without any of the objections that would
naturally be made to the employment of the military.
Mr. HUME said, lie understood that the new police in
the city of London would cost less by 11,000/. a year
than the old, and therefore he could not conceive why it
was not the same in other places.
The petition was ordered to be printed.
Mr. HUME then presented a petition from 14 medical
lecturers of the city of Edinburgh, complaining of par-
tiality in the distribution of the medical honours of the
University. The Hun. Member would not pledge himself
to the correctness of the allegations of the petition, but he
knew that the petitioners were .highly respectable, and
very eminent in their profession.
Mr. LAMB denied that any unfairness prevailed in the
appointment of gentlemen to the medical lectureships of
the University, and he had the authority of the highest
officer in the establishment—the Lord Provost, for saying
that they were given to the best and most eminent men.
Some of the petitioners he had reason to believe (although
very high in their profession) were disappointed can-
didates, and perhaps therefore felt somewhat angry.
The LORD ADVOCATE defended the appointments,
and, in repelling the insinuation of Government or the Uni-
versity acting from political motives, said the Government
had recently given the appointment to two vacant Chairs,
to a body not very favourably disposed towards it, viz. the
close Corporation of Edinburgh.
Mr. HUME also presented petitions from the journey-
men bakers of London and its vicinity, praying that they
might be heard before the Select Committee appointed to
inquire into the due observance of the Sabbath; from
Wisheach, Gloucester, Bleaden, parishes in Leicester and
Cork, for the abolition of tithes ; from Temple Michael
and other parishes in Waterford, complaining of tithe and
church cess ; from the Greenwich and Deptford Poli-
tical Union against the tax on newspapers; from the
spirit dealers of the Isle of Man, respecting the increased
duties on rum ; from St. Leonard's, Shoreditch, against
the Bill for the removal of Scotch and Irish vagrants ; from
the electors of Warwick, complaining of the proceedings of
the Earl of Warwick, in giving such of his tenants notice to
quit who slid not vote for Mr. Greville, and praying that
the House would sanction vote by ballot, as the only
means of preventing such undue influence.
Sir JOHN BURKE presented petitions against tithes
from two paddies in the county of Galway.
Mr. LITTLETON presented a petition from the
druggists of Wolverhampton, praying for an enlargement
of the time for taking off the duty on drugs.
The Charitable Institutions (Ireland) Bill went through
a Committe-, and was ordered to be reported to-morrow.
On the motion of Mr SPRING RICE, the Arms
and Gunpowder (Ireland) Bill was read a third time
and passed.

The House then went into Committee on the Pri-
soners in Ireland Removal Bill. Report to be received
to-morrow.

In a Committee on the Irish Coal Bill, Mr. S. RICE
said, that an inquiry had been made into the claims of the
meters to compensation for the loss of their trade by this
Bill, and the result was that they had made good their
claims. Government thought that as it was a local griev-
ance that was removed by the Bill, the fund for compensa-
tion ought to be raised from a local tax ; he therefore pro-
posed a resolution, that it was expedient to levy a Custom.
house duty of 4d. per ton upon all coals imported into
Dublin, not being Irish coals, in order to raise a fund for
compensating meters of that port.
The resolution was agreed to, and the report ordered to
be received to-morrow.

Mr. HUNIE presented a petition from a place in Ire-
land against the Tithes Bill.
Mr. SMITH brought in a Bill for regulating the pro-
testing of bills of exchange payable at places not the re.i-
deuce of the drawer or drawee, which was read a first
time, and ordered to be read a second time on Friday.

- -
The Post Roads (Ireland) Bill went through a Com.
mittee, and was ordered to be reported on Thursday.
Mr. SHIEL postponed his motion relative to the Irish
Church Revenues till the Qd of August. .

Mr. RUTHVEN rose to bring forward his motion, of
which he had given notice. The Honourable Member
had not proceeded farther than the announcement
of his intention to follow up his notice—when, observing
the thinness of the attendance, he moved that the House
be counted. •

The Gallery was then cleared for a division, but forty
Members having been present,
On our return to the gallery we found the Hon. Mem-
ber vindicating the course he had pursued in moving that
the House be counted. He then, after alluding to the
state of legislation in Ireland, and to the unfortunate, mis-
chievous treatment it had received since the Union, re-
linquished his motion, with the intention of bringing it
forward next session.
Mr. C. ROSS moved the issue of a new writ for
Aylesbury, in the room of Lord Nugent, who had ac•
cepted the appointment of Chief Commissioner to the
lonian Islands.
Mr. S. RICE objected to this course of moving for a
new writ, before the appointment had been made out
and accepted...—(Hear.) He bad told the Hon. Member

Mr. HUME r .se pursuant to notice, to move for le rve
to bring in a Bill to disqualify the Recorder of Dublin from
sitting as a Aletnher in any future Parliament. He cun•
sidered the motion of great importance, more from princi-
ple than for the sake of disqualifying any particular indivi-
dual. Last year he moved for returns, in order to ascertain
the importance of the office of the Recorder of Dublin ;
and from those returns it seemed difficult for him to
understand how that officer could do his duty as a
Judge and as a Member of Parliament at the sane
time.—(Hear, hear.) He conceived that no Judge
ought to have a seat in that House, because he
thought it would be moat inconvenient that a man
should act the part of a political partizan in that
House one day, and have to sit perhaps on the following
day as a Judge in a Criminal Court. By the 48th of
Geo. 111., the Recorder of Dublin received 9231. Is. 6 `.
a year; and by the sth of George IV. an additional
5331. 16s. Ild., making an annual income of 1,4561.
(Hear, hear.) By a paper which he (Mr. Hume-)
held in his hand, it appeared that the present Recorder's
predecessor sat in Court thirty-nine weeks out of the fifty-
two in 1825 ; forty-two weeks in 1826 ; and forty-one
weeks in 1827. It appeared strange to him to fi:.•l
that the present Recorder sat forty-five weeks in 1829,
and forty-six in 1830. He (Mr. Hume) certainly had
not missed the Recorder from the House so long as thos,
periods ; and if he were asked, he should say it was im-
possible that the Recorder could have been there so much.
It further appeared, that in 1828, the committals for fr
lony and misdemeanour in that Court amounted to 1,762 ;
in 1830, to 1816, and in 1831, to 1,929. Looking at the
business i❑ that court, he thought it impossible that its
Judge could properly discharge his duties there, and also
those of a 'Member of that House. After some further
observations, the Hon. Member concluded, by moving for
leave to bring in the Bill.
Colonel EVANS seconded the motion.

Mr. WALLACE fully concurred in the motion made by
the Hon. Member for Middlesex, thinking the offic,
of Recorder of Dublin, or any judicial office, incompati-
ble with that of legislator. He thought all such should
be excluded from that House.
Lord ALTHORP said, that as the motion was f,r
leave to bring in a Bill, there would be other
periods at which the merits of the case might be
more fully discussed. He, however, thought that
subject one of difficulty, and did not see why the Bill
should apply to the particular ewe of Dublin alone. H -
should not object to the introduction of the Bill, but in its
progress he thought it would be well to consider the pro.
priety of its extending to other places.
Colonel PERCEVAL defended the character of the pre
sent Recorder of Dublin.

Mr. JEPHSON disapproved of the Bill.
Sir R. PEEL strongly objected to the exclusion of a
particular from Parliament. He thought it would be
tablishing a dangerous precedent, and therefore he would
resist the motion for the introduction of the Bill.

Mr. SHEIL said that the Right Hon. Baronet, who
disapproved of the exc'usion of particular officers, could
not recollect the case of the Irish Masters in Chancery.
They were declared incapable of sitting in Parliament, by
a Bill introduced by the present Lord Chancellor of Ire-
land, avowedly for the object of excluding Master Ellice.
Again, the Irish Master of the Rolls was excluded by a
particular Bill. These precedents would meet the argu-
mcnts of the Right Hon. Baronet against bills which
referred to particular individuals.
Mr. LEFROY said, in reference to what had faller:
from the Hon. and Learned Member for Louth, that no
bill had been brought into Parliament for the special pur-
pose of excluding the Master of the Rolls in Ireland from
Parliament- That officer bad been included in an act
which comprehended a number of judicial persons. The
Recorder of Dublin had the power of appointing a deputy,
—a power exercised by former recorders, but which bad
not been resorted to by the present, because he bad shown
himself fully competent to the discharge of his donde
duties, as a civic judge and a member of that House. I,
would be but fair, he conceived, if they legislated at all
upon the subject, to legislate alike for all the recorders and
common-serjeants in England and Ireland.
Mr. CRAMPTON said if be might venture to offer a
suggestion to the Hon. Member for Middlesex, he would
recommend (looking to Mr. Shaw's absence and the ad-
vanced state of the Session) that his motion should be with.
drawn for the present, and if he meant hereafter to take up
the question on the matter of principle, that he should
bring in a Bill to amend the Act which excluded the
legallnloa snts er of the
H functionariesous House
of Rpoai lrsil,ni
attnlhreeeni atn.d Masters

i n Chancery,his
so and o
pini n

e,
would

be a better course than seeking to disqualify a single indi-
vidual—a single officer.
Sir E SUGDEN considered the motion of too personal
a tendency. It appeared to him, that the presence of 1.e,-
sons in that House who were conversant with the law was
advantageous to the public.
Mr. C. FERGUSSON objected to the partial character
of the motion. He was at the same time of opinion, that
judicial and political duties should be as much disunited as
possible.
Mr. C. PELHAM opposed the motion.
Mr. WARBURTON maintained that, as a high judicial
officer, largely paid, and called upon to sit every week in
Dublin, the Recorder should be excluded from a seat in
Parliament.

Mr. LEADER thought that the motion ought not to
be confined to the Recorder of Dublin.

Mr. HUME, in reply, said, it was evident that a
Judge could not try 2,000 cases in a year, and discha.ge
his duties as a representative of the people. In bringing
forward the motion, it was his intention that no Recorder
of Dublin should sit in a future Parliament. In deference
to the wishes of H 'n. Members, be had no objection to
make the motion general. If the House gave him leave
to bring in a Bill, he was quite willing to extend its pro-
visions to all Recorders, and perhaps to all judicial persons
whose situations were incompatible with the due exercise
of Legislative powers. .

The Howie then divided—

➢Majority -17
The Bill was then (we understand) ordered to be
brought in by Mr. Hume and others.
TAX ON EMIGRANTS TO BRITISH NORTH
AMERICA.
On our return to the gallery, we found—

Mr. HUME moving for an address for " a copy of any
Act passed by the colonies in British North America, and
which have received his Majesty's sanction, by which a
tax is to be levied on emigrants arriving from the Unite
Kingdom." Also for " a copy of a circular from the
Colonial Office, directing the same."
After a few words from Mr. C. PELHAM, the motion
was agreed to.
