LONDON, THURSDAY, NON EMBER 14, 1844.

We have always great reluctance in making com-
ments on the decisions of police magistrates, because
they have difficult duties to perform, (awing to the
conflicting evidence brought before them, and the
little knowledge they have generally of the character
of the witnesses. In doubtful cases it perhaps is
safest to side with the magistrate, and believe that he
acted according to his sincere conviction. There are
cases, however, when the public ought, and must
judge for themselves ; and a case of this description
occurred at Clerkenwell on Tuesday. It was one of
an atrocious description, and nothing can equal it
except the unaccountable leniency of Mr. COiuBE,
the sitting magistrate, to the offender. Two
ladies had engaged a cab to take them
to a dinner party, and after the vehicle had
proceeded a few paces the door flew open, upon which
the driver, taking advantage evidently of Ole helpless
condition of the ladies, charged their servant with
lhaving damaged the door in shutting it, used towards
them the vilest language, and the timid women, in
order to escape from such a horrible position, jumped
out of the cab, and tried to make the best of their way
to their own house. The cabman, who, from all
accounts, was drunk, pursued them, seized them by
th&'ir bare necks, for it appears they were dressed for
a party, shook them most violently, and they were
only rescued from this perilous condition by the
arrival of the husband of one of them, Mr. MEET-
YARD, a barrister-at-law. He naturally called
upon the nearest police-constable, to whom
be gave the driver in charge, and this con-
stable swore before the magistrate that the cabman
was drunk. Mr. COMBE very properly told this
egregious offender that he had subjected himself to
two fines of 51. each, or two months' imprisonment,
with or without hard labour; but, from some strange
hallucination, reduced these fines to twenty shillings,
which, of course, were gladly paid, and the cabman
walked triumphantly out of court. No reason what-
ever is given for this mitigation of punishment.
The master of the cabman did not come forward,
but a colleague, the yard-keeper, gave him a
good character. What man tried at the Old Bailey
has been without a friend of this kind ? The Judges,
however, unlike Mr. COMBE, pay no attention to such
evidence, or indeed any evidence as to character,
when an outrageous crime has been committed ;
they look at matters of fact, and juries almost uni-
versally concur with them. Here was one of the
grossest outrages committed upon two unprotected
femalessand the magistrate considered it sufficient] -

may rest assured. that many u'pright decis.ions7anindE

LONDON, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1844.

Mr. O'ComieLx. has sent forth another manifesto
from Darrynane, which was read on Monday last at
the Dublin Repeal Association. In this document
he proposes to apply to Parliament for an impeach-
ment of those who were chiefly concerned in getting
up the late State Prosecutions, and also to consider
the expediency of addressing the English people, in
order to obtain their assistance in compelling Parlia-
ment to institute such an impeachment. Another
object which the Hon. and Learned Gentleman ap-
pears to have not less warmly at heart, is the forma-
tion of a Preservative Society of three hundred—
just the same number of patriots as fought and fell
with LEONIDAS at Thermopylae ; though in what
way this society is to work when formed,
or what are the main points to which it is to
direct its attention, Mr. O'CONNELL does not in-
form us, but leaves us as much in the dark on the
subject as the Federalists have done, as regards their
favourite, but undeveloped scheme for the regenera-
tion of Ireland. In this state of ignorance we san
only form a guess at the nature of the public duties
which it is intended that the Preservative Society
should fulfil, and conclude that it is to act as a sort
of Irish }louse of Lords, to keep within due bounds
the patriotic fervour of the Association, which,
without some such controlling power, might be
attended with injurious consequences to the cause
of Repeal. If this conclusion be a correct
one, then we have not the slightest hesitation
in saying that the Society in question will be
a failure. It will never be able to maintain an in-
dependent position, notwithstanding its assumption
of aristocratic superiority, and will be far more likely
to take its tone from the more popular and vigorous
Association, than to act as a wholesome check on its
enthusiasm. Its attempts at moderation will be
mistaken by the vast mass of the people for luke-
warmness in the cause of the Repeal, just as they
have now set their faces against Federalism, because
it is of a more temperate, qualified character than the
original scheme for the restoration of the old domestic
Parliament; and should it at any time venture on
the bold step of coming into direct collision with the
Association, from that moment it will degenerate
into a mere nullity. Under any circumstances, the
Preservative Society is never likely to be anything
more than the mere passive instrument of Mr. O'CoN-
NELL, S will. The independence will be simply nomi-
nal. As he created it, so will he destroy it, the mo-
ment he finds that this political Frankenstein of his
own begetting has become his enemy instead of his
tool. Yet we must confess that the
scheme of this
Society is not without ingenuity, for it
will
enable Mr. O'CONNELL to carry on the work
of agitation through the medium of two assemblies in-
stead of one—first, as the leader of the aristocratic,
and secondly as the leader of the democratic section of
the Repealers, the former represented by the Preser-

The leading principle of this Mutual Assurance Society is, that the
whole Profits are divisible among the Policy Holders every three
years. In illustration of the eminent success which has attended the
Society, it may be stated that the additions made to Policies have
been at the rate of 2 per cent. per annum on the sum assured and on
the vested bonus.
Thus the holder of a Policy for 1,0001. effected on the Ist of March,
1832, will, if it become a claim during the present year, be entitled
to 1,2971.; or, if effected on or before the Ist March, 1833, to 1,2751.,
and so on as regards other Polities.
The Accumulated Fund exceeds 260,0001., and the Annual Revenue
is above 70,0001., the whole being in a course of steady and increas-
ing prosperity.
No other Life Assurance Institution whatever can warrantably
hold out greater advantages to parties Assuring than this Society does.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR,—It is with great diffidence that I venture to
express an opinion in opposition to that of so highly
respectable a barrister as Mr. Whitehurst; but, con-
sidering that the old law of uninterrupted usor is
still in existence, with reference to roadways which
may yet be opened to the public, and not dedicated
in the mode laid down in the Highway Act, 5 and 6
William IV., cap. 50, sec. 23, I should like to see
Mr. Whitehurst's opinion after revision on the read-
ing my statement of the case.
Before the passing of the Act of 5 and 6 William
IV., cap. 50, if a landlord had set apart a field for
building a street of houses, and left a thoroughfare
for the public, and this road was not made by the
owner, and was to remain open to the public such a
number of years that the owner had no right to close
it against the public, it became a public highway, so
that the inhabitants of the parish were liable to be in-
dicted if such road was not repaired by the parish;
but since the passing of that Act it is declared " that
no new road shall be deemed, or taken to be a high-
way, which the inhabitants of any parish shall be
compellable or liable to repair," unless the party
open►ng the road make it in a substantial manner and
keep it in repair for twelve months afterwards, and
adopt such other proceedings as are laid down in the
23d section. If then the vestry consider such new
highway to be of sufficient utility, and accept the
same, it shall be kept in repair for ever thereafter at
the expense of the parish.
I contend there is no alteration in the law of usor ;
if a new road be thrown open to the public for a given
number of years, the public will acquire the same
right of passage over it for ever as before the passing
of the late Highway Act ; the only difference is, that
the parish will not be liable to be indicted for the re-
pairs of this new road after it has become a public
highway by usor; but it can never be closed against
the public, and must remain a public highway, and
the owner of the land will become liable to indict-
ment if he allows it to become in a state dangerous
for the public to pass over.—l am, Sir, yours, &c.,

THE WORTHY AND INDEPENDENT LIVERY OF

LONDON.

GENTLEMEN,
ON coming to town this morning I found that
there had been a mistake in announcing " Monday next" as
the day for holding the Common Hall for the Election of Chamber-
lain, and that THURSDAY NEXT, the sth September, is the day
fixed for that purpose.
I greatly regret that any error should have occurred in this
respect, and avail myself of the earliest opportunity of correcting it.
The public meeting of my Friends will be held on Monday next,
at Ten for Eleven o'clock, at the London Tavern, as originally
proposed.

- It only remains that I should renew my assurances of gratitude

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sia,—lt is with great diffidence that I venture to
express an opinion in opposition to that of so highly
respectable a barrister as Mr. Whitehurst; but, con-
sidering that the old law of uninterrupted usor is
still in existence, with reference to roadways which
may yet be opened to the public, and not dedicated
in the mode laid down in the Highway Act, 5 and 6
William IV., cap. 50, sec. 23, I should like to see
Mr. Whitehurst's opinion after revision on 'the read.
ing my statement of the case.
Before the passing of the Act of 5 and 6 William
IV., cap. 50, if a landlord had set apart a field for
building a street of houses, and left a thoroughfare
for the public, and this road was not made by the
owner, and was to remain open to the public such a
number of years that the owner had no right to close
it against the public, it became a public highway, so
that the inhabitants of the parish were liable to be in-
dicted if such road was not repaired by the parish ;
but since the passing of that Act it is declared " that
no new road shall be deemed, or taken to he a high-
way, which the inhabitants of any parish shall be
compellable or liable to repair," unless the party
opening the road make it in a substantial manner and
keep it in repair for twelve months afterwards, and
adopt such other proceedings as are laid down in the
23d section. If then the vestry consider such new
highway to be of sufficient utility, and accept the
same, it shall be kept in repair for ever thereafter at
the expense of the parish.
I contend there is no alteration in the law of usor ;
if a new road be thrown open to the public for a given
number of years, the public will acquire the same
right of passage over it for ever as before the passing
of the late Highway Act; the only difference is, that
the parish will not be liable to be indicted for the re-
pairs of this new road after it has become a public
highway by usor ; but it can never be closed against
the public, and must remain a public highway, and
the owner of the land will become liable to indict-
ment if he allows it to become in a state dangerous
for the public to pass over.—l am, Sir, yours, &c.,

MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current of Aug. 30.)
SUGAR.—The market has assumed a quiet appearance
for most descriptions of Colonial Sugar, and there is
generally more disposition on the part of merchants to
realise. For West India the demand has been
limited for bright grocery descriptions, but at
present no general reduction in prices can be quoted.
To-day buyers of West India Sugar come forward with
more freedom ; the Refiners purchased extensively, and
from the Grocers a good demand prevailed ; prices im-
proved and left off the same as on this day week • the
large quantity of 905 hhds, &C. was disposed of, making
the purchases for the week 2,200 hhds and tres.
MoLA.ssEs.—For West India the demand has been
good, and former rates are suppored—Dominica, and
Trinidad at 22s to 235, and inferior aorta at 20s to 21s
;u it the quantity offering for sale is, however, not
sop
was a few weeks back ; prices rule un•

usually low, and are 4s to 6s per cwt under those of last
season at this period. For East India Molasses there
are still few purchasers. Honey, at Auction, fetched

The prisoner again said that the picture had offended
her sense of delicacy. She would, however, take no
notice of such a thing in future.
Mr. TWYFORD said that was a very good resolve, for
if she took notice of such things she would have nothing

The French Government has at last published a
dispatch from Morocco. It is from the Prince DE
JOINVILLE, and we are glad to find that the young
Admiral details the operations before Tangiers and
Mogadore without any boasting, and professes that
the only object of the squadron before these places is
peace. We have no fault to find with the dispatch.
On the whole, it is creditable to the Prince; and
though he attacked Tangiers before the return of Mr.
HAT, the English Consul, from the Court of Morocco,
the fault, according to his showing, does not lie with

TO THE WORTHY AND INDEPENDENT LIVERY OF

LONDON.

GENTLEMEN,
ON coming to town this morning I found that
there had been a mistake in announcing " Monday next" as
the day for holding the Common Hall for the Election of Chamber-
lain, and that THURSDAY NEXT, the bth September, is the day
fixed for that purpose.
I greatly regret that any error should have occurred in this
respect, and avail myself of the earliest opportunity of correcting it.
The public meeting of my Friends will be held on Monday next,
at Ten for Eleven o'clock, at the London Tavern, as originally
proposed.

It only remains that I should renew my assurances of gratitude
for the very favourable progress of the canvass, and urge upon you
that you will not relax in your exertions in my behalf.
With much respect, I have the honour to be, Gentlemea, your
devoted and obliged Servant, ANTHONY BROWN.
