tice Jackson entered the court in his judicial robes.
His Lordship stood for a few seconds at the end of
the bench, and then pronounced in a loud voice,
" This Court of Error is adjourned to Wednesday
next."—(Roars of laughter.)
[lt appeared that the Court of Error stood ad-
journed to the first day of term, and that, in com-
pliance with the formalities of that court, it became
his Lordship's duty to order a further adjournment,
in the manner above described. ,The effect, was, how-
ever, astounding. Assessors, counsel, agents, and
the public joined in an involuntary burst of laughter,
which was renewed as often as the words, " this court
of error" flashed across the recollection of those
present.]
The court adjourned at six o'clock.—Freeman's

I,VESLEYAN MISSIONARY SOCIETY,
At a full MEETING of the Committee of this Society,
held at the Centenary-hall and Mission-house, Bishopsgate.street.
within, London, on Wednesday, October 30, 1844 (the PNESI.
DENT of the Conference in the chair), it was unanimously re.
solved,—

1. That after a careful reconsideration of certain imputations
against the character and proceedings of the Rev. Thomas B.
Freeman, the Superintendent of the Society's Missions on the Gold
Coast, as recently renewed in a letter, under the signature of
" Omega," published in the Times newspaper of Friday last, this
Committee are perfectly convinced that the said imputations are
altogether calumnious and untrue; and that the defensive explana-
tions and statements of Mr. Freeman, first transmitted by him to
the Secretaries in a letter, dated June '26, 1843, and now repeated
and confirmed by him personally, in their presence, are entirely sa-
tisfactory on all the points to which " Omega" has referred.
2. That the renewal of these slanderous imputations is the more
culpable, because the person from whom they are understood to
proceed has had repeated opportunies and invitations, in the course
of the last fifteen months, to appear before the proper authorities for
the purpose of substantiating, if he could, the accusations preferred,
which he has hitherto declined or neglected to do.

3. That, fortified in their view of Mr. Freeman's case, by the
written assurances of his brother Missionaries in Western Africa,
by various other documents long in their possession, by passages in
the former communications of " Omega" himself, and by the spoil.
taneous and decided testimony of several highly respectable and
disinterested gentlemen, who have observed his proceedings, and
borne honourable witness to his labours and usefulness, this Com-
mittee deem it right to assure the public of their entire and undi-
minished confidence in Mr. Freeman's integrity, and of their high
admiration of his eminent zeal and devotedness to the great work
in which he has been engaged at the Gold Coast, in Ashanti, and
elsewhere, and which it has pleased Almighty God to bless already
with so considerable a measure of success.

It is so often our misfortune to except to the mea-
sures of Sir ROBERT PEEL—tO challenge their prin-
ciple, or to deprecate their tendency—as, for example,
in reference to his currency-regulation scheme, or
his property and income-tax " screw"—that we find
it quite agreeable to meet him upon other ground, on
which we can approach him only with the tribute of
our humble, but unqualified praise. The recom-
mendation he has addressed to the Crown—of Mr.
ERLE for the Judgeship in the Court of Queen's
Bench, vacated by the lamented retirement of Mr.
Justice ERSKINE, is a proceeding for which the
Premier is entitled to the highest credit. The ap-
pointment, itself, is one of the most dignified, of the
most responsible, and of not the least lucrative kind,
which it is in the power of the SOVEREIGN to be-
stow. In this country, beyond the example, perhaps,
of all others, the unbounded respect of the people—.
voluntary, uncompelled, unbiassed, unpurchased—
attaches to the ermined dispensers and expounders of
the law a sort of confidence which it withholds from
almost every other constituted authority, except on
full satisfaction, after much discussion and investiga-
tion—of their title to claim it. The mass of the
people, throughout all the varieties and conditions of
which it is composed, seem to go beyond the
wealthier and more dignified classes in rendering
their homage to the official position and personal
consideration of the Judges. So proud a distinction
as this among a proud and jealous people, cannot be
lightly earned. Still less can it be maintained with-
out the consistent manifestation, on the part of its
occupier, of those high qualities in the practical dis-
charge of the duties of the Bench, which the people
take it for granted must have already constituted the
principle of his selection fox; a post of so much mark
and distinction, by the authorities which have called
him to it. It is easy to imagine how many, and how
powerful appeals, must have been made to the Pre-
mier for this appointment, from qua:iers which no-
thing short of the plea of public duty, according to
his own estimation of its claims, could seem to justify
him in refusing to satisfy. But Sir ROBERT has
exercised the grace or patronage of the Crown, in
this instance, in so worthy a manner, that we should
apprehend he must 'nave propitiated the good opinion
of nine-tenths cji the Bar. He has conferred it, not
upon the rAost worthy of his political supporters—
but on the best qualified and most eligible member
of that powerful and learned body, for so exalted a
distinction. Mr. ERLE was, as to his political
opinions, a member of the Whig party—and therefore
arrayed in the ranks of the Minister's political op-
ponents, rather than in those of his supporters. But
Mr. ERLE was, in point of high professional attain-
ments, practice, character, and considera:ion, second
to none, and superior to most, of his contemporaries
in the same branch of practice. His professional
emoluments were extensive in proportion to his ex-
traordinary reputation as a leader among the leading
counsel and pleaders of his day. A career like his,
at the Bar, illustrated by so large an amount of legal
knowledge and sound judgment, of technical experi-
ence and skill, combined with the loftier talent, the
larger and more generalised views, and higher intel-
lectual discipline and reach of an accomplished and
successful advocate—terminates most honourably for
himself, and most advantageously, we will venture
to predict, for the public, by his elevation to the
Bench.

Before it had been intimated, on arlequate authority,
that Sir R. PEEL had thus gratefully and promptly
recognised the superior prf.aterisions to this high ap-
pointment of a political opponent some of our
Contemporaries h:,-,a already discussed the contending
claims of sevreral other parties, either actually candi-
dates, or probable claimants for it. We have per-
ceived with regret, in one article more especially, now
before us—a very able one, undoubtedly—that the
writer, in advocating the right of Mr. ERLE to ex-
pect that he should be nominated, has thought it
necessary—(in bad taste, and injudiciously, we must
say)—to go out of his way to damage the pretensions
of others. We lament to see the name of one very
sound and estimable Criminal Judge—the Recorder of
Earl RADNoa has addressed a letter to the Editor London—brought forward in this way, on a meresurmise that a Noble Earl had been warmly solicit-
of the Economist on the subject of the Allotment ing this Judgeship for that Right Honourable person,
System, of which, as might be expected, he strongly his Lordship's brother. This is neither a candid nor
disapproves, chiefly, however, because it "is opposed a justifiable course. We should strongly question
to every principle of political economy." We do not the fact of the Recorder's having sanctioned, sug-
think the system is to be thought the worse of on this
account, for political economy is by no means infal- Bested, or assented to any such solicitations. But, in
the absence of all positive knowledge on that point,
lible, and though it has been the rage among our we will only remark that, if anything could enhance
legislators and many of our public writers for some 1 the value which we attach to the proper and judicious
years past, it has been productive of little or no
good I selection Sir R. PEEL has made, or to the merits of
on a comprehensive scale, while in not a few instances Mr. ERLE in being the object of that selection, vs e
it has shown itself wholly at variance with the dictates should find it in the sense of duty which has induced
ofh humanity, and though it may have the effect of the Premier to pass by the claims of political and
s arpening the understanding, and imparting toofficial connexions, and among them, an auxiliary of
keen, worldly, practical tone, we are yet to learn such standing and efficiency in Parliament—and, on

and worldly understanding, unaccompanied by a
kindly nature, is incompetent to legislate in such an
enlightened and comprehensive spirit as shall be pro-
ductive of general benefit. Our rulers have been
steering by the lights of political economy ever since,
if not before, the days of HUSKISSON, and how has
the country at large been benefited by their gui-
dance ? Class interests, indeed, have derived
advantage from their narrow system of legis-
lation, but the vast mass of the people have
in no respect been bettered by it. Look at
the condition of the poor man, whether in the manu-
facturing or agricultural districts ! What has political
economy ever done for him or his ? Has it elevated
his position in society—has it improved his moral
character—has it drawn forth the kindlier and nobler
feelings of his nature—has it even increased his pecu-
niary means, or given him a slight taste of some-
thing like prosperity ? Nothing of the sort. It has
left him in precisely the same condition in which it
found him—we might almost add, in a worse condi-
tion ; for by avoiding everything like an appeal to his
feelings, by treating him like a machine rather than
a human being, and accommodating him with a strin-
gent New Poor-law—which, though equitable enough
in some of its provisions, is cruelly unjust in others
—by way of showing its sympathy for him ;—by so
acting towards the poor man, political economy has
at length succeeded in alienating him from his
superiors in station, and converting him into a
Chartist, a Socialist, a rick-burner, and what not.
If public attention be now fully directed to the case
of the poor and destitute ; if it be at length dis-
covered that something must be done for them, and
that they must be treated in a far more kindly, re-
spectful, and considerate :manner than has hitherto
been the case, it is not political economy we
have to thank for this tardy discovery, but
the antagonist principle of humanity, which is now
coming actively forward in the hope of remedying
the evils of the former system. It is net-as political
economists that the manufacturers are now endea-
vouring to secure pleasure-grounds and parks for the
recreation of the workmen in their employ, to instil
into them a feeling of self-respect, and to improve
their social and moral condition in every possible
way ; but as humane and beneficent men, who have at
length become awakened to the great truth that the
poor and humble have affections, as well as prejudices
and passions, and that these affections may be appealed
to with success. Nor is it as political economists that
the landowners are now making such an active stir in
behalf of their peasants, but they are urged to it by
precisely the same motives that are influencing the
manufacturers. Political economy deals only with
the understanding, and in the pride of its pedantry
scorns to take into consideration the important fact
that the humbler classes have quick and ardent
feelings which are not to be neglected or trampled
on with impunity. Hence the notorious decline
of this cold, calculating, selfish system, and the
rise of that more enlightened and philanthropic party
which calls itself " Young England," and which, by
appealing to the heart as well as the head of the com-
munity, and adopting as its rule of action the divine
behest, "Do unto others as you would they should
do unto you," bids fair to confer an immense amount
of benefit on all classes, but more especially on the
humbler and more hard-working orders of the com
munity.
