CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES, 16m 23.

The Order of the Day was the continuation of the de-
bate on the Budget of 1832. The sth chapter is under con-
sideration, and respects " The Royal roads, bridges, navi-
gation, ports, and private services."
M. Jouslin proposed an amendment, which the Chamber
did not distinctly understand. As far as we could hear
amidst the noise and conversations in the Chamber, this
amendment demanded the applications of the sums granted
to particular objects in preference to others ; it required
also a reduction of one million four hundred thousand
francs. The amendment was not supported.
The Minister of Commerce declared that the system of
the Hon. Member could not be admitted.

General Demarcay thought the amendments good, but
did not think them sufficiently clear, and feared they would
not be adopted. The Minister of Commerce opposed them
hy:a common place and hacknied observation of Ministers.
Whenever any change is proposed to the Administration,
Ministers exclaim, " Take care ; you are assuming the
rights of the Government—you are governing." Now,
gentlemen, do we assume the rights of Government by
saying to the Government, " Sir,"—(Loud laughter, in
which the orator himself joined)—by saying to the Mi.
[lister, " Sir,—The canal of Niort is a matter of local
interest, and ought to be constructed with the funds of the
municipality ?" The orator then alluded to the municipal
expenses of Paris, and declared they would be always
badly regulated until Paris had a municipal body of its
ow❑ choice.

The first part of M. Jouslin's amendment was not
adopted, and he withdrew the second part. The sth and
tith chapters were adopted, after a debate in which nothing
of interest occurred.

It is asserted that the French Government has signified to
the King of Spain that, in case of such an expedition
taking place, France would support Dan Pedro with
military force. It is also said, that AI. de Rayneval is
appointed to the Embassy of Msdrid. A bet of ten to

on Portugal. Italy also occupies the public mind; it is
said that the expedition to Ancona has met with the dis-
approbation of Austria, and still more with that of the
Pope, and hence it is believed that nor troops will not land.

By the Dutch Papers, received this morning,
we regret to find our apprehensions confirmed
respecting the length of quarantine which would
be imposed on our commerce to that quarter.
The first quarantine is forty days, and the second
tens This is surely too severe in all conscience,
and must be ascribed more to political spleen
than originating in any reasonable apprehensions
of infection. But the evil will not be felt ex-
clusively in England—the Dutch themselves
must participate in the consequences of such
indiscrimate and unjust severity. The King
of HOLLAND cannot surely pretend that his
subjects stand in more danger of infection than
our nearer neighbours the French ; and yet he
quadruples the time of quarantine ! If his object
be to carry the points contended for in the
treaty, this is not the most likely way to con-
ciliate favour or command respect. Obstinacy
in a good cause amounts to virtue---zin a bad
one to folly---and must fare according);—
Tux HAGus, F xja, 19,.—Count Orloff, whose arrival

at Berlin has already been announced, ..,11 abortii tx

_
Their Royal Highnesses the Prince of Orange and
Prince Frederick arrived here yesterday from head-
quarters.

The fifteenth birth-day of his Royal Highness, the eld-
est son of the Prince of Orange, has been celebrated to-day.
It is said that the commanders of corps of the army and
the Governors of fortresses, have received orders from the
War-office to make a general inspection of the troops under
their command by the Ist March next.
Accounts from Eindhoven lay, that a body of Belgian
troops has again approached our frontiers. About three
thousand arrived on Monday at Turnhout. The vicinity
of the enemy renders increased vigilance necessary on
our part. _ _ _

Fin. 21.—Count Orloff, whose arrival here has been
before announced in some Journals, arrived here yester-
day noon. The Berlin State Gazette says, that the
Count, who is charged with a mission from the Emperor
of Russia to our King, will go from hence to London.
By a resolution of his Excellency the Minister of the
Marine, of the 17th inst., it is ordered that London, and
all places on the river from London to the Nore, shall be
considered as infected, and that all places on the coast from
Dover to, and including, Harwich, shall be considered as
suspected, and that, in consequence, all vessels included
in this regulation shall be subjected to a strict quarantine :
those under the first to a quarantine of forty days, and
under the second of ten days.
We have, for the first time, received the London Papers
purified.

Rorrzmixt, FIB. 19.—The Batavier steam-boat, by
which we received the melancholy intelligence of the ap-
pearance of the cholera in London, remained off this city
only a few hours, and was ordered to the mouth of the
Meese, to perform quarantine. The few goods already
landed were removed to the public entrepot, which goods,
however, consisting of a few hogsheads of sugar, cannot
convey infection, as sugar is a preservative against conta-
gion. The cholera bad not appeared in that part of Lon-
don from which the Batavier departed.

The King of Denmark expresses his sincere 'wishes for the
happiness of his Imperial Majesty and the prosperity of bis
Government, and his own constant desire for the mainte-
nance of the amicable relations now happily subsisting be-
tween Denmark and Brazil.

The Regency, in the name of the Emperor and his Ma-
jesty's presence, gave audience on the 9th to Baron de
Daiser, Charge d'Affaires of the Emperor of Austria, who
presented a letter from his Sovereign to the Emperor of
Brazil ; and on the 16th, the Regency gave audience to
Count Renentlow, Charge d'Affaires of the King of Swe-
den and Norway; and to Senor Joao Baptista Moreno,
lately appointed Charge d'Affaires and Consul-General of
Portugal to our Government, to present the congratula-
tions of the Regency, in the name of the Queen his Sove-
reign, to his infant Majesty on his accession to the throne
of Brazil.

The Lisbon Gazettes, from the 4th to the

of all the books, copper-plates, maps, and charts,
published in the kingdom, shall be delivered to

We regret to learn that there is little or no
hope of the completion of the Thames tunnel ;
that, in fact, like the boroughmongers, it is
in articulo mortis, or in extremis, as Sir C.
WETHERELL would phrase it. Surely the
Board of Commissioners for public improvements
should take up the matter,ffor it is really a re-
flection on the national spirit of enterprise that
a work which has excited so much interest
abroad, and curiosity at home, that no less than
twenty-seven thousand persons have paid to visit
it during the last year, should be neglected
from want of adequate encouragement ! As a
matter of public utility it has, if possible,
still stronger claims to patronage, for the
conveyance of merchandise from one bank
of the river to the other, by means of
such a tunnel, would be an extraordinary
saving in point of time, and consequently of
money. Were the possibility of its completion
üblic support, to be
at all problematical, the case would be different ;
but enough has already been done to prove that
the experiment
rimaenid it onlycnoemedpsieted in
a style, and with a p
spirit, worthy of the first commercial natiom in
the world. Were the Tlianjes tunnel but once
worthily finished, the metropolis would stand
without a rival among the great cities of the
earth. As it is, London is surpassed in beauty
by Paris, and in grandeur by St. Petersburgh.

We give below, for the benefit of the Great
Unpaid, the Barrister's opinion on the case of
Mr. CROMPTON, who was some time ago con-,

victed before.. JOSEPH, RIDGMAY, Esq., a
Bolton Magistrate, and one of the worthy co
peers of HULTON of Hulton, of Peterloo memory,
under the 30th section of the new Game Act.
The informations have been since dismissed at
the Bolton Petty Sessions ; but we think so
flagrant an instance of ignorance, assumption,
and dereliction of duty on the part of a county
Magistrate, should not be allowed to pass without

remark. Without now entering upon the merits
or demerits of the new Game Act, we can hardly
see how any Magistrate, who had taken the

trouble even to read the sections of the Act,
could possibly have convicted in this case, where
no reasonable proof was adduced that the party,
by whose authority the complaint was made,
was legally entitled to the game, and when the
deputation was not produced in the absence of
the party holding it, and no witness, in support
of the information, swore positively that the
party had such deputation, and authorised suc
complaint. Mr. CROMPTON deserves great
credit for his spirited resistance to the arbitrary
conduct of the Magistrate :

(From the Bolton Chronicle.)
NEW GAME LAWS.
CASE.

The following case was submitted to Mr. Deacon, the bar-
rister, and we subjoin his opinion.

Mr. Crompton, a gentleman who, prior to the passing of t
present Game Act, was duly qualified both by property and cer.
tifieate, and who still continues to take out a certificate for the

purpose of shooting, has been summoned before the Magistrates,
under the 30th section of the Ist and 2d William IV., cap. 32,
whereby a penalty not exceeding 40s. is imposed upon every
person whatsoever who shall commit any trespass, by entering
or being, in the day time, upon any land in search or pursui'
of game or woodcocks, &c. &c., and the evidence adduced in
support of tke charge was as follows :
A kind of keeper, without certificate, proved that he was
employed by a gentleman, who had told him that he had the de.
putation of game from the Earl of Balearrar, the lord of the
manor ; that, on the 22d December, he saw the defendant with
greyhounds in pursuit of gain., and that when he first saw him
he was on land occupied by one —. The offence, so far
as regards the fact that Mr. Crompton was out, was clearly
proved, and he was convicted in a mitigated penalty.
Two other informations were then gone into, the facts being
precisely the same, only that in each case he had gone off the
land occupied by—_ into farms in the occupation of two others.
To the first ease it was objected that, as Mr. Crompton was ad-
mitted to have a certificate, he could be liable only to an action
for trespass. By the sth section of the new Act it is enacted,
" That nothing in this Act contained shall in anywise affect or
alter (except as thereinafter mentioned) any Act by which every
person killing game must take out an annual certificate, and
that all the powers, provisions, and penalties, contained in s
Act or Acts, shall continue in as full force and effect as if th
Act had not been made;" and by the following section, "
every person with such certificate shall kill game, subjec
to an action or such other proceedings thereinafter meintlir

for thereforef
personthl
game."rce, a certificated I
provisionswould be liable to an action for trespass, and to the above.
named penalty.—ln the second place, it was contended that, if
a deputation were in the hands of a second party it ought to
a ya c t
of committedformer
Acts in
remain pursuit
in of
force,
have been produced, and that it was not sufficiently shewn
whether he, or the tenant, or the owner of the land, or the re-
puted lord of the manor, had a right to authorise the informa-
tion.—ln the third place, it was conceived that the three infor.
mations had relation only to ene offence. That as there was a
reputed lord of the manor, he could not go for a penalty in-
curred for a separate trespass upon each. That, as the witness
had proved that the game did not in any way belong to the te.
nants, it could only be one tresspass, the words of the act being
" entering in the day time upon any land, &c., in search," and
the latter part of the same section deeming the lord of the
manor to be the occupier of such land.
Your opinion is therefore requested,
lstly. Whether Mr. Crompton, when in pursuit of game
(though with a certificate), be liable to the penalty imposed by
the 30th sec. of the Ist and 2d William IV., chap. 32 P
2dly. Is the evidence produced sufficient to convict him in
the first of the cases, no proof having been given of the owner.
ship of the game ?

idly. Whether, if the first case can be supported, presuming
the game of the three farms to belong to one person, and under
one manor, is Mr. Crompton liable to distinct penalties upon
the other charges ?
And 4thly, generally upon the case ?
OPINION.

1. lam of opinion that Mr. Crompton is not protected by his

ertificate from the penalty imposed by the 30th section of the

Ist and 2d William IV., c. 32:for trespassing on land in search
or pursuit of game : the provisions of the 6th section of the Act
expressly declaring that no certificated person shall be exempt
from such liability.

2. It appears to me that the evidence, as stated in the case,
was not sufficient to convict Mr. Crompton, unless the informs.
tion was sanctioned by the lord of the manor, or the landlord
of the farms in question, or by the occupiers of those farms.
For, though no evidence of title to the land is necessary to be
adduced on an information under the game laws, yet where the
complaint is made by a person who is neither lord of the manor,
nor owner of the soil, nor occupier of the land, the Magistrate
ought to have reasonable proof before him that the party, by
whose authority the complaint is made, is legally entitled to
the game. And in this case, as the information was laid by
the keeper of a gentleman holding a deputation from the Earl
of Balcarras, I think the deputation should have been produced,
in the absence of the party holding it,—or, at all events, that
a witness in support of the information should have been able to
swear positively that the party had such deputation, and
authorising the complaint. But, though this last mode
of proof might be admissible, where the witness is an
educated person, and can speak to the contents of the de-
putation, I strongly incline to the opinion that, where the
information is not preferred by the lord, the owner, or the oc-
cupier, but by a party merely holding a deputation of the game,
in such case the deputation ought to be produced; for the
Magistrate should be satisfied that the complaint is made with
the sanction of the person having the right of killing the game
on the land trespassed upon, and where the complaint is made
by neither of the three parties above-mentioned, the Magistrate
should see the deputation ; not only that he may be satisfied that
the party claiming the game is the party named in the deputa-
tion,aanldse that the otherthatthedeputa requisitestiexten of theoverds A

—but .
plied with ; for, by the 16th section of the new Act, the depu-
tation is expressly declared to be invalid, unless it is registered
with the Clerk of the Peace.

3. Presuming the game on the three farms to belong to one
person, and that such person is the complaining party, I incline
to think that Mr. Crompton is not liable for separate penalties
for the simple act of trespassing in pursuit of game. For, as
under the former Game Laws a party could not be convicted in
separate penalties for killing several hares on the same day,* so
by parity of reasoning, it would seem that he cannot be con-
victed under the new Act in separate penalties for trespassing
on the same day on several parts of the same manor, and that
the manor being divided into separate fields or farms will not
multiply the offence. This, however, is only on the presump-
tion that the complaint was made by the lord of the manor, or
by the party having the deputation of the manor; for, if several
complaints were made by the several occupiers of the farms, then
a distinct penalty would be undoubtedly incurred for the tres-
pass upon each farm.

4. I have already gone so fully into the points of the case that
nothing further occurs to me on the subject ; except to. state
ray opinion, that Mr. Crompton has a good ground of appeal
for the reasons above mentioned, provided he complies with
the provisions of the 44th section of the new Act, by which
such appeal is regulated. E. E. DEACON.
