affairs of this Company, Notice is hereby given that the said Master
will, on FRIDAY', the 19th day of April instant, at Eleven o'clock in
the forenoon, at his Chimbers, in Southampton-buildings, Chancery-
lane, London, proceed
farther in the Settlement of the List of Con-
tributories.of this Company, and after such List shall have beau so
' settled, no party affected thereby will be allowed to dispute the same
without leave of the Iligh Court of Chancery first obtai. ad.

time to time, occupy the high position which it is your
honoured distinction to fill at this moment. We feel an-
defied that every such visit from a Minister of theCrowe
must be fruitfal in information to themselves, and that
the result will bo the advancement of England, My Lord,
I again bid you welcome, and I rejoice that you have
been good enough to bring Lady Russell amongst us.—
(Loud cheers.) We dordially hope that both your Lord
ship and Lady Russell may be long permitted to live, to
witness and to rejoice in ti e moral, the intellectual, and
the social advancement of tle country.—(Loud and pro-
longed cheering.)
Mr. JOSEPH HERON, the town clerlr, then read the ad-
dress which was voted at the council.
• Lord JOHN, RUSSELL having received the address,
replied—Mr. Mayor: Let me in the first place express
my thanks to yourself for the manner in which you
have discharged a duty which must be most grateful to
my feelings. Looking:upon you.as the representative of
this great manufacturing community, it is gratifying to
me to find that any portion of my conduct has met with
your approbation, and likewise to find that my visit to
this town has been considered as tending in any way to
give me better, information, and to further the means of
provi,ling for_ the well-upderstood interests of the
country.—(CLeers.) I only regret that at this time,
when the preparation and discussion of measures for
Parliament must occupy necessarily so great a portion
of itirtitie, my visit must be so extremely tskerti-and
that any knowledge which I may in so short a time
acquire must certainly be insufficient to servo as a means
of legislation. But I trust it will be taken as an earnest
that I consider the objects of providing for the trade
and manufactures of • this country are of the very
Ugliest importance, and that I 'shall ever consider
it my duty to obtain the best information I can obtain in
order to give advice to a Sovereign who has ever upper •
most in her heart the welfare of her subject:.—(Loud
and prolonged cheering.) You were g.lod enough to re-
fer to the circumstances of my wife accompanying me on
this visit; and I can assure you that it would have been
impossible for me to prevent her from taking a part in it
—;-so powerful was her anxiety to observe those wonders
of manufacturing skill and invention of which she, in
common with the rest of the community, had heard so
much.—(Loud cheers.) .Let-me now proceed, theref.ire,
to answer the address which you have done me the
honour topresent; and I trust you will not think that I
do.wrong iu giving effect to my own personal opinions,
because, in all the conduct I have observed in Parlia-
ment, I never found that I was able toe fleet anything
unless I was strongly persuaded of the rectitude cf the
course Which I was pursuing—(Cheers)—and tha', ac-
cording to my judgment, it was the course which was
beat calculated to promote the interests of the country.
I shall now proceed, thereore, to answer the address
which has been read by the town clerk. His Lordship
then read the following address:—
" Mr. Mayor, gentlemen of the borough of Manches-
ter,—,[ thank you heartily for the kind manner in which

with a delicate edging of chocolate. The party were
nearly an hour and a half occupied in'the inspection of
these works, ai.d at partidg 'his Lordship expressed the
.7reat gratification he had experienced frt:m his visit of
inspection.
A select party was invited to meet his Lordship at
dirmer in the evening at Claremont, comprising the
Lord Bishop of Manchester, the Very Rey. Dean Bow-
err, the Alayor of Salford, Sir. Thomas Birch, M.P.,
W. R Wood, Esq. (son of the late Member for Kendal),

course of the day w his Lordship, by the Chambers of
Commerce in 'Manchester and Salford, were presented
to his Lordship at Claremont by deputations from the-
respective chambers in the course of the evening, but
there was no formality of:served on the occasion. `:

This morning Lord John Russell, Lady Fanny, and
the other members rf the party, proceeded to the cotton
factory of Sir Elkantih Armitage, situated in Charles-
town, where they were received by Sir Elkara'n On
entering the works his Lordship expressed a wish to fel-
low the procrsa of spinning through all:its departmente,
from the original raw state off' the cut:oil•. wool up to the
completed -manufacture. A bale, 4.4 cotton wool which
had Timm recently cut open was tfiert=l.weeght fol. his
Lordship's inspection; but his Lordship expressing a
wish to examine one that had not been previously
opened, a fresh one was brought and cut open in
his Lordship's presence. After examining the
wool thus shown him, his Lordship and friends
were conducted over all the processes of the
manufacture—cleaning, carding, roving, spinning
and weaving—when Lady Fanny Rus:ell expressed a
eesire to he permitted to take a small portion of the ma-
terial in ea:th stage of its progrese. Specimens of the
various qualities, including cotton rovinge, and a quan-'
lily of twist in the manner in which it is put together to
furor warp!, were accordingly presented to her Ladyship.
During the progress through the mill the party ap-
pea•ed to be much struck with the healthy, condors•
able appearance of the workmen—a circuntsta-ca on
which his Lordship remarked more than once in his ex-
amination.
From Sir E. Armitage'i factory the party proceeded
to the Salford Library sad Museum, where the corpora-
tion of Salford met his Lordship. This building is io-
the Peel Park, one of those places of recreation which
have lately been opened for the accommodation of pent-
up workmen of the place through the Munificence of the
private liberality of the millowners, assisted by donations
from ether parties. Among these it may be remembered
Sir Robert Peel gave a donation of 1,0001., in grateful
recollection of which the park, in which the present re-
ception took place, was distinguished by the Right llor.

arranged on a scale of liberality equal to that which
characterised the opening of the parks. Donations in
books and specimens have been received to the value of
3,0004; the latest, and one of the most valuable, being a
donation from the Earl of Derby, of Gould's splendidly
illustrated volumes on the British and Australian birds.
The -museum is not yet opened. The library opened
about three months ago, with more than 5,000 volumes,
which are open to all comers without introduction or f ir-
rnality of any kind. As a proof of the manner in which
the working biasses in the neighbourhood appreciate the
advantages conferred upon them by this institution, it
may be mentioned that 8,000 volumes have been issued
from the 'library to the reading-room during the three
months the institution has been opened, the volumes
chiefly in request being history,
.biography, and works
on scientific subjects. All these particulars were pointed
out to his Lordship, who appeared to take great interest
in the details.

you have welcomed me, On the ccca,ion of my visit to
this important district. I am much gratified by the ap-
probation you have bestowed on my public p:induct. I
am glad to have the opportunity of more correctly esti-
mating, although by a short and cursory inspection, the
magnitude of the interests which are ecnnect7d with the
borough and neighbourhood of Manchester. There are
two modes in which a Government can tosttr and pro-
mote trade and commerce. The first, which is the least

direct, but the most powerful in its effects, is by secur-
ing to every man the impartial administration of law,
and the enjoyment of personal and political freedom; the
other is by the removal cf restrictions and monopolies
affezting trade; agriculture, and msnuftetures. It has
been my endeavour to promote, humbly but earnestly,
in both• these wayv, the groat interests of labour. But
I cannot give the chief p!aeo to the efforts of statesmen,
ev, n far wore effective than mine, for the ad-
vancement of these objects. The free spirit, the
independent mind, the patient industry, the inventive
skill of the people of this realm, have been the
main causes of growing population, increasing weal:le
and augmented power. You have done me the honour
to observe tbat; in seeking to amend and n farm, I have
endiavoured to .make the least possible disturbance cf
existing arrangements, and I am rejoiced to find that my
caution has met with your approbation. lam youfident
that in no part of the empire would the adoption of an
taned
the
i-
extreme policy, in whatever direction it might tend, be
pmoreynai
osensibly
business,a nd more a
diminution
of
fel(inh
trade,
interruption of confidence) than in this great centrq of
manufactures. While, therefore, lam a warm friend'of
progress, I am convinced that it is above all things Ze,
sirable that any reforms which we may propose sheaki
be calmly weighed, and, when proved to be desirable,
effected without disturbance t) the peace of the country."
At the conclusion of this address, which was loudly
cheered, his Lordship handed it to the Town-clerk, who
presented it to the. Mayor.
On leaving the Town-hall, the Premier was again
`enthusiastically cheered by the people without, who
followed the carriage to the Exchange, which his Lord-
ship alighted to inspect. As he walked arm-in-arm

His Lordship arrived at the Peel Park a little of er
half-past eleven o'clock, Ile was accompanied by Mr.
Russell, Sir Benjamin Heywood, and Mr. Percival Hey-
wood, and was received in the lobby by Mr. Laug-
wet thy, the Mayor, the head constable of the borough,
and the principal members of the corporation. The
morning was rattier unfavourable, and comaaratively-
few persons were assembled round the door ot the mu•
seum to see his Lordship alight. Those who were pre-
sent Ft ceived his Lordship with calm respect, but with-
out any demonstration of applause.
His Lordship was conducted to the library-by the
Mayor of Salford, where he was most respectfully
greeted by the members of the corporation.
The Ai AYOR then said—lt is with high gratification,
as the Mayor of this borough, I present to your Lord-
ship this address, which was vcteil unanimously and with
acclamation by the members of the town council yes ter-
' day; and it is with feelings of great pleasure that,
within our borough, we welcome you as the Prime Mi-
nister of the Crown. In your person, my Lord, we I e-
cognige still additional mctives for our high gratifica-
tion, when we consider the many great measures with
which your name has been connected during the long
period of your public career, measures of great value to
ourselves and of great benefit to the community. We '
feel deeply indebted ter the great exertions your Lord-
ship has made in obtaining those LGOaSUre3, and now,
without troubling your Lordship with a long speech, I
will proceed to read the address of the council.
The address having been read by the Mayor,
Lord J. RussELL said—Mr. Mayor, I thank you far
the manner in which you have presented the address;
and it is with great pleasure that I proceed to answer it.
His Lordship then read the following answer:—
" Mr. Msyor, and Gentlemen of the borough of Sal-
ford,— I am much gratified by the address you have done
me the honour to present to me. I am happy to find
that you attribute to me a love of social progress and
of constitutional liberty. It will be my endeavour to
continue to deserve that approbation. You are Lilly
justified in saying that much remains to be accomplished,
end that farther measures, both fiscal and moral, are re-
quired fir the well-being of the people. To improve
institutions in accordance with the state cf the people,
and to fit the people for improved institutions, are both
of them noble tasks. Your position qualifies you to take
a lead in the second of these labours; and I am happy to
acknowledge that you are doing much to raise the minds,
and direct to worthy objects the pursuits of your fel-
low-citizens. I. trust you will be rewarded by seeing
an increased spirit of loyalty and religion, and that the
content of your community will roe the success of
your exertions."—"(Loud cheers.)
After visiting the museum, lyis ..t;ecadship returned to
his carriage, and drove off amidat:theAseers of the people
who had assembled at the gates.
Front Salford his Lordship pro& fled direct to the
Town-hall of Manchester, where the corporation of the
city was in Waiting to receive him end to present the
aidrees voted yesterday. The broad street in front of
the Town-hall was filled with a dense crowd of persons,
principally composed of the working classes, though ie.
terspersed with n good many of the tradesmen of the
town. The arrival of his Lordship was hailed by this
crowd with loud and repeated cheering, and a great
rush was made from all Farts to see his Lordship alight
from his carriage, which it required all the efforts of a
strong body of police to prevent from issuing in some
accident. Lord John was received in the lobby of the
Town-hall by Mr. Potter, the mayor, who introduced
his Lordship to the mayor's parlour in the ball, where
the aldermen, most of the members of the town council,
and several of the principal manufacturers in the t awn,
with a number of ladies, were assembled to receive him.
Among those present we noticed Mr. Kershaw, M.P.,
Mr. J. Heywood, M.P., Mr. Brotherton, M.P., and on
his Lordship entering the room the company rose to
receive him, and testified their delight at his presence
by loud demonstrations of applause. Silence having been
restored,
The MAYOR whir ersed his Lordship es follows:--My
Lord John Russell: Though I can assure your Lordship
that I feel very deeply my own inaLility adequately to
do justice to the occasion which has brought us tooethrr
this morning, yet I cannot but esteem it a high and ks-
tinguished privilege that it has fallen to my lot to be
the first mayorof Manchester who halhad the honour/to
receive the Primo Minister of England in this town,—
(Loud cheers.) My Lord, on Lehalf of the Corpora-
tion of Manchester—on behalf I am sure, I may say, of
my fellow-citizens at large-1 bid you a most cordial, a
most hearty welcome to this town.—(Applause.) My
Lord, I welcome you to Manchester, not only as the first
Minister of the Crown, through 'whom we may most
legitimately expressour loyalty to the Queen, our
ardent attachment to her person, and admiranon of her
high virtues; but, my, Lord, I also welcome you us a
statesman, whose name will never be forgotten.—(Loud
cheers.) Representing, my Lord, as you do, the high-
mindedness of the house of Russell—
(Cheers)—it has
been your good fortune to add to the laurels of that
name, and to transmit to posterity a still more illustrious
record of its services.—(Loud cheers.) My Lord, wo re-
cognise in you a statesman who, with consummate
with singleness of purpose, with undeviating consistency,
has devoted himself to the best interests of society. we
rec gnise in you one who at all times has done his ut-
termost to maintain and to promote the rights and
liberties of Englishmen.—(Loud eitcere) My Lord, it
is peculiarly gratifying to me, as mayor of mat borougb,
that I have the satisfaction of offering t you this morn-
ing an address which was unanimously adopted by the
council of this borough. In that council, my Lore, are
the representatives of every party, ot every religious
and political opinion. But though there are many mem-
bers in that council who differ from the measures which
you have so earnestly and successfully advocated, still
they feel that it is a privilege to be able to unite in wel-
coming you to Manchester, and to offer you the only
compliment which it is in their power to bestow.—(Loud
cheers.) My Lord, I hope that the terms of the ad-
dress which we arc about to present to you will convey
c some gratification to your Lordships feelings; and I am
satisfied that any pleasure you may thereby receive will
be infinitely enhanced by the knowledge that this ria-
dress was unanimously adepted. My Lord, we rejoice
in this your visit to the metropolis of the manufacturing
districts of England, which we trust will he fruitful of
good to the country. We caimet believe that the great
results cf tate manufacturing industry of this country
can be witnessed without causing in the mind of those
who behold them a higher appreciation of that industry,
a higher appreciation of the importence of the manufac-
tures of England. We believe that the industry of Eng-
arid, as manifested in this district, is the vivifying and
maintaining cause a the commercial and social pros-
perity of our native land.—(Cheers.) We rejoice in
your visit, and we earnestly hope that it may be the
1 forerunner of many similar visits from those who from

witi the Mayor up the noble hall—one of the most
spacious in the kingdom—the building was filled by a
dense mass, who crowded around to obtain a ♦iew;ot the
Premier, in such a manner as must have incommocb-d

him not a little. Order, however, was restored; a lane
was made, through which his Lordship and friends
passed down the middle of the hall, amidst the cheers of

the crowd. The party then proceeded to Sir Benjamin
Heywood's bank, in St. Ann'a•street, where a lunch was
provided for them.
About two o'clock his Lordship proceeded to insre'2,t
the silk works of Messrs. Smith, in Lower Mosley-
street, and Ras occupied for an hour and a half in in-

specting the machinery there for the throwing and
manufacture of silk. The Jacquard looms for the fancy
silk weaving excited great interest, and his Lordship
and Lady Fanny were minute in their inquiries as to the
various processes. _

The oilier establishments which it is understood to be
his Loidship',s intention to visit are the Oxford-road
Twist Company, the extensive warehouses of his Wor-
ship the Mayor; and, if possible, the Messrs. 'Whit-
worth's machine establishment and Mr. Edmonstone's
machinery fur the manufacture of railway ticket•.
It ought to be added, that wherever his Lordship ap-
pears his carriage is surrounded by the people, and his
presence is greetel by them with hearty clicerp.
The working classes, however, as well as their betters,
appear eaterrnined, if possible, to turn the Prernier's

visit to their own account. A public meeting is called
for this evening, to be held in the Corn-Exchange—the
Rev. Canon Wray in the chair—for the purpose of pre-
senting an address to his Lordship. thanking him for the
supper: he formerly gave to the Ten Hours' Bill, ald
requesting him to support the measure now introduced
into Par!iament by Lord Ashley. Whether his Lord-
ship will be able to receive this. address is uncertain, as
it is stated he is to leave Manchest 1-, on his return to
town, early to-morrow morning.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.

FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.

CIIRONICLE.—Lord John Russell appears to
have visited Manchester with a view rather to
relaxation than to study, and to have shown
more interest in the workshop than in the
"School." But it was not the less a proud
and happy moment for the inhabitants of that
famous emporium of manufacturing wealth and in-
dustry, when, for the first time (as we learn from the
Salford Town Council), they were honoured by the
presence of the Chief Minister of the Crown. "A
sight of you is gude for sair een"—and it is not to be
supposed that the Lancashire dames fell into the same
mistake as the French countess who inveigled Talbot
into her castle—

I thought I should have seen some Hercules,
A second hector, for his grim aspect
And large proportion of his strong-knit limbs."
If so, they must have been sadly disappointed. ".,M.
de Cormenin (Etudes sur les Oratehrs Parliament-
aires) describes his Lordship as " so little, so pale,
and so feeble, that it was necessary to stretch him on
a sofa in the lobby after his speech on Parliamentary
Reform." But this is French exaggeration ; and, at
all events, Lord John Russell might reply with
Talbot—

" You are deceived ; my substance is not here ;
For what you see is but the smallest part
And least proportion of humanity."
Look again—and you are forcibly reminded of Cla-
rendon's remark in his History, that most of the stir-
ring spirits of his time were little men. There is no
mistaking the expression of those small, finely-
chisseled, and impressive features. That pale brow
is the constant seat of thought; that wasted frame is
o'erin formed with mind; and it is persevering amhi
tion of the loftiest order that has shrunk those sinews
and deprived that step of elasticity. Whatever differ-
ences of opinion may exist as to Lord John Russell's
other qualifications, he will be admitted on all hands
to be one of the most highly-cultivated of contempo-
rary statesmen. His long exclusion from power gave
him ample opportunity for political studies; and his
published works show with what unremitting dili-
gence he prosecuted them. lie had long ago ex-
hausted the entire round of constitutional reading,
and it is deeply to be regretted that many of the wise
conclusions at which he arrived in early life in the
closet, were so readily abandoned or disregarded at a
later and far more important period of his
career. Posterity, as well as the impartial and
reflecting portion of his contemporaries, would cer-
tainly think better of him if he had less frequently
manifested a willingness to sacrifice principle
for popularity, when popularity happened to
be a necessary guarantee for place. Still, there he
stands—theoretically, if not practically—in spirit and
temper, if not uniformly in act and deed—the em-
bodied essence, the living, breathing personification
of the genuine old Whig party, with all its good and
all its bad qualities—with its liberalising views and
tendencies, its love and patronage of letters, its high-
bred courtesy, its real want of true aympathy wi h
the people, its inbred haughtiness, and its morgue.
Ana well may the elite.of Manchester assemble to do
him honour ; for providence has so ordered it that the
great interests which they represent have largely be-

nefited by the strength and determination of his cha-
racter, and have hitherto suffered little from its faults.
They may be excused for seeing in him neither a pro-
moter of the Lichfield House Compact, nor a party
to the I3edchamber Plot; and although we do not
quite agree with Alderman Shuttleworth, that "he is
characterised by a consistency which few other states-
men can boast," we cannot refuse to concur with the
worthy magistrate, to a large extent, in the best part of
his compliment:—" Lord John Russell entered the
House of Commons about thirty-seven years ago ; and
since that time he had been constantly labouring for
the improvement of our social and political institutions.
He was was pledged by his very name—see hloore's
poetical Remonstrance'—to freedom in every shape,
and the efforts which he had made had always tended
to remove acknowledged grievances and promote the
principles of justice." That pledge has, on the
whole, been well redeemed, and few names could be
mere fitly coupled with the favourite Whig toast of
" The cause for which Hampden died on the field and
Sydney on the scaffold ;", in giving Which, by the
way, the present head of the House of Russell (on
Sir John Hobhoute's 'prompting) once transposed
the names so as to make it. appear that Hampden
died on the scaffold and Sidney on the field. We are
not aware whether Lord J. guides to the
wonders of the place meant *Ai. typical allusion to
his services in crushing and beating down in-
tollerance—but hammers of enormous dimensions
formed the chief part of the first day's ex-
hibition. Lord Jeffrey
.said of the steam-engine,
"The trunk of an elephant, that can pick up a pin or
rend an cab, is as nothing to it. It can engrave a
seal and crush masses of obdurate metal before it,
draw out, without breaking, a thread as fine as gos-
samer, and lift up a ship of war like a bauble in the
air. It can embroider muslin and forge anchors, cut
steel into ribbands and impel loaded vessels against
the fury of the winds and waves." Neither this, how-
ever, nor all that we have since read and seen, quite
prepared us fig the exploits of the hammer which was
made to go through its exercise for the edification of
the Premier. It beean by beating a shapeless mass
of metal into a longitudinal bar. In this there is no-
thing very extraordinary, except (as noted by our re-
porter), " that the ladies of the party especially mani-
fested almost as much indifference to the sparks that
flew in all directions as the workmen." What followed
was the triumph of mechanic art :—" A piece of timber
being placed upon the forge, two or three tenpenny
nails were driven into it with as much apparent ease
and gentleness as a lady might stick a pin into a pin-
cushion. As if this were not enough, a further trial
was made. An egg was inserted into a wine-glass,
the end projecting as in an ordinary egg-cup, which
was then put upon the forge, and the hammer de-
scending, chipped the egg, while the glass itself re-
mained perfectly uninjured." This hammer has been
made to order for a firm in New York. The Russian
Emperor has become the envied purchaser of the
largest boiler and the largest planing -machine in the
establishment. Does this prove that we cannot com-
pete with foreigners—or that we are acting impru-
dently in permitting them to take advantage of
our :kill ? In one way or another, the circum-
stance will doubtless be regarded as a fatal augury
by our Protectionist contemporaries. Not con-
tented with giving his Lordship an illustrated
lecture on physics, some members of the town
council were anxious to improve the opportu-
nity by inoculating him with some of their own
social doctrines. " Mr. Abel Hey wood hoped that
his Lordship would not go back from this neighbour-
hood without having carefully eifsed and ascertained
for himself the working of the Ten Hour Bill." JP •
might also, it was suggested, advantageously devote
an evening or two to Financial Reform ; and, in fact,
there appeared in some quarters a strong. disposition
to forget the proverbial effect of all 'work and no play
in making John a dull-bay: But the Premier-ewes in
no humour to imitate that denizen of -thes Queen's s
Bench Prison whee whenever he got a dayertey, spent
it in the Fleet ; his replies to " Mr. Mayor and Gs-n-
-ee-sof the two boroughs which constitute what is.
populety termed "•Manchester," were emphatically
safe ; and. there is every chance, we reoicatto
of his Lordship's re-appearance in the House of Com-
mons on Monday next in renovated health and spi-
rits, and haply with increased confidence in the na-
tional resources, but unwarped, unprejudiced, and un-
pledged.
HERALD.—If there be one thing more than ano-
ther on which we pride ourselves in this realm of
England, it is the complete purity—the perfect inde-
pendence with which justice is administered, irre-
spective of rank, irrespective of party—with which
justice is impartially administered—whether the de-
linquent he a rich rogue—or the innocent sufferer a
poor and unfriended man. In opening the recc.rd3 of
our legal history, even from the earliest ages—and in
considering the conduct of our judges, even at a time ,
when the prerogative was unquestioned, and the-obief
magistrates in the law held' their offices at, the plea-
sure of the Crown—it is astonishing how few are the
men connected with the administration of the law who
have disgraced the ermine of the bench, or tarnished
the fair repute of the judges of the land. If we have
but one Sir Thomas Weyland, but one effreyes, but
one Scroggs, but one Allybone ;. on the other hand,.
see the numerous Johannes de Mettinghams, and
Elias de Beckinghatus*—the Fortescues, the Cokes,
the Hales, the bolts, the Rsytnonds, the Fosters, the
Atkyns, the Somers, the Cornyns' the llardwickes,
the Catndens, the Mansfields, the Der:awls, who il-
lustrate and adorn the bench, giving strength and
lustre to the Crown, and satisfaction and contentment
to the people. In the earliest times, and before oar'
Constitution arrived at its full perfection, the errors
and crimes of judges, recorded in history, are few and
inconsiderable, and weigh but as dust in the balance..
But for now a period of more than a century and a
half that the judges arc the grand depositaries
of the fundamental laws of the kingdom, and have
gained a known and stated jurisdiction, regulated
by certain and established rules, which the •
Crown cannot alter but by Act of Parliament, it
were difficult to conceive a body of men in any
country more Pure, more virtuous, and more stain-
less. Separated from the legislative, and also from 'I
the executive power—nominated by, but not remov-
able at the pleasure of the Crown—the judges stand
indifferent between the executive and the people, and
there is not a man of any intelligence in the country,
from. the Land's End, in one corner of the kingdom,
to the old assize towns of Monmouth, Mold, and
Chester, in the other, who does not feel that his • life,
his liberty, and his property are safe in the keeping
of gentlemen who have been distinguished either as
foremost advocates or as leading jurisconsults—men
who have in our day invariably bean promoted to the
bench for their ability, their learning, and their high
character. Knowing this to be a cardinal and indis-
putable fact, we always, as journalists, see with regret
the slightest disparaging allusions to the judges on the
bench. Even when such allusions proceed from learned
and instructed writers—not labouring under bias or
prejudice—we entertain the belief that in nine
cases out of ten more minute inquiry would
convince the honest and dispassionate critic of the
judges that he has been misinformed—or proceeded
on false data or imperfect information. • When, how..
ever, such allusions proceeded from the Times in re,
ference either to the late Chief Justice of the Queen's
Bench or to Mr. Justice Talfourd, the attentive ob-
server may almost always conclude that the observa-
tions and criticism are but a pretence, the real pur-
pose being to malign and vilify men against whom the
Ministerial journal, for some reason best known to.
itself, has had a grudge, if not a " lodged hate.",
Thus it was that the case of the Birds, husband
and wife, was fixed upon to drag before the public
Mr. Justice Talfourd, as though through his cri-
mica]. carelessness and culpable indifference this
infamous pair had escaped the punishment they
had so well merited for their crimes. Now, though
when we read this charge some nine or ten days
ego we well knew it was baseless and unfounded—
partly from the character and very nature of the
judge—partly from internal evidence—neverthe-
less we did not choose in a matter in which private
feeling or conviction ought to have sway to pronounce
an opinion one way or other. We determined,
therefore, to wait patiently, well assured that before
the expiration of a week time would do Mr. Justice
Talfourd tardy justice. Glad are we now indeed
that we then adopted this resolve. Since Sunday
last it has so chanced that we have come into contact
with five barristers of the Western Circuit, three of
whom were present at the trial, and each and. all of
these gentlemen bear testimony that the general
opinion of the bar of the Western Circuit was, that
the case for the prosecution had completely broken
down ; and that the presiding judge could, according
to law, and according to the obligations of his oath
and his conscience, do no otherwise than direct the
jury as he did direct them. This opinion see find •
confirmed yesterday in a letter addressed to us by '
Mr. Henry Ball, a gentleman connected with the
Western Circuit as attorney and barister
for a
period of more than five and thirty year!•For
twenty years Mr. Ball has gene that circuit as
barrister. He is known to both branches of the
profession as a pains-taking, labogious,. and indus-
trious man—not prone to busy hinsselt in matters
that do not concern him—nor over-anxious to volun-
teer a defence for any one, whether culprit or judge.
%Vila', however, does Mr. Ball—whose letter we

publish-in another trt of the .2110.ning .Herald—my?
Mr. Ball, accustomed in his early lite to the getting
up of evidence for prosecutions—accustomed in his
mature age to the duties of prosecuting counsel—
states " that the evidence of the mother of the un-
fortunate girl, and the evidence of Mr. Turner, the
surgeon, had wholly failed in bringing home to the
prisoners the infliction of the blow which was the
cause of death." What then could Mr. Justice Tal-
fourd do ? The judges are to give judgment accord-
ing to law, and what is alleged' and proved, and not
according to their private knowledge or private feel-
ings. No man could have known Mr. Justice Tel-
fourd for a week without knowing that, of the 3,400
members of whom the bar and the judges is composed,
he is perhaps the very individual man who would be
most moved to burning indignation against such re
welting cruelty as was sworn to against the Birds..
But, with all his tenderness fur human life, and
all his pity for human suffering, he is not the man to
condemn a Mother Browitrigoo• who, according. to
Canning, in the "Anti-Jacobin," " Whipped three
finale children to death, end hid them in the coal--
hole," unless by due course of law and according to
the evidence. "Judex bonus," says Coke, "nihil ex
arbitrio suo faciarnec propositio domesticm voluntatis, •
sealjuxta leges et jura pronunciet ,m* and Dyeref the
earliest reporter in our law, says, " Judicis est judi-
care secundum allegata et probate." Tried by these
maxims, the summing-up cf Mr. Justice Talfourd will
be found just what it ought to have been—just what
every lawyer and gentleman expected from fl man of
his sense and standing in his profession. That the
view taken by the Learned Judge was the
right, and the only proper one is further de-
monstrated in this—that the course adopted ,
by Justice Talfourd received the recognition
and assent. cf one cf the ablest °lawyers, and
one of the hest judges and most humane men in
Westminster Hall—Mr. Justice Erle. The map ,
mint animus of. the Times in making the charge, how-
ever, is very apparent, and peeps out in every line of
its three articles. True, says the Times, Sergeant
Talfourd never had a very high repute in Westmin-
ster Hall as a lawyer. Never was there ft more
flagrant misrepresentation. For nearly seventeen
years Sergeant Talfourd led the Oxford Circuit (a
circuit which produced an Abbott, a Taunton, a
Campbell, a Maule, a Vaughan Williams, a Thomas
and John Jervis, and a Ludlow), and for nearly ten
years he divided the business in the Common Pleas
with the present Chief Justice of that court. How
a man caw lead a circuit for seventeen years, and pos-
sess leading business in a superior court of law for
ten years or more, without being a sound lawyer,
we do not ourselves very well set, nor, we may
remark, does the profession at large. When the
Times states that it will not condescend to answer
the accusation ef being actuated by feelings of ani-
mosity against Justice Talfourd, it acts judiciously.
The deliberate, the cruel, and the unjust attempt of
the Times, in 1845, to exclude Sergeant Talfourd's
name from the Oxford Circuit reports, is not for-
gotten, and was than indignantly stigmatised in the
Chronicle, which now joins the Times in its ignoble
and unworthy efforts against a most amiable man,
and a most able and learned judge. The rarest part
of the joke, however, is, that the Times now asserts,
" he came forward to do what he could to promote
the elevation of Sergeant Talfourd." It is very true
that two days after Sergeant Talfourd had
been elevated, the Times encumbered with
its help in a rather patronising article,
a man whose claims had been put forth
ten, six, and three days previously in this journal.
The modesty of this tradestnaelike attempt of the
Times to trace the appointment to its supposed in-
fluence, we exposed somewhere about the middle of
last July. If the Times supposes that by the reite-
ration
of this baseless assertion it can induce any
human being to think it bears no malice to Justice
Talfourd, it hugely deceives itself. Its animus is
proved by its refusal to insert the calm and temperate
letter of Mr. Ball, which we print to-day. To the
Learned Judge, to whom that letter refers, we say, in
the words of Coke—" Fear not to do right to all, and
to deliver your opinions justly according to the laws,
for kar is nothing but a betraying of the succours that
reason should atibrd. And if you shall sincerely
execute justice, be assured of three things—first,
though some may malign you, yet God will give you
his blessing ; secondly, that though thereby you may
offend great men and favourites, yet you shall have
the favourable kindness of the Almighty, and be his
:favourite; and, lastly, that in so doing, against all
ssandalous somplaints and pragmatical devices against
you, God will defend you is with a shield."
