CHARITABLE PAWN SOCIETIES BILL.

OLD COURT.
(Continued from our Afternoon Edition.)
After a lapse of about twenty minutes the jury returned
into Court, when
Mr. Ju,stice Wirsixtus proceeded to read the evidence at
length. After the Learned Judge had finished the evidence,
he told them, that if the evidence was such as to leave a just
and reasonable doubt im their:minds the prisoners should have
the benefit, but if there was no doubt on their minds they
would give their verdict accordingly. He again begged of the
jury not to regard any observations which were addressed to
them, except so far as they were founded on the evidence.
The question they had to consider with regard to the prisoner
Barber was, whether he had merely acted as an ordinary at-
torney would act in the matter, or whether he had produced
the will for probate, well knowing it to have been forged ?
The jury* then retired to consider their verdict.
The prisoner, Barber, seemed to have retained his self
possession throughout the trial, frequently handing down
notes to his counsel, till the close of the Judge's charge; he
then appeared to become extremely agitated and nervous.
After an absence of about an hour and twenty minutes,
the jury returned with a verdict of GUILTY AGAINST
ALL 111 E PRISONERS.

Mr. Barber—l am not guilty, my Lord, and Mr. Fletcher
here knows that I am not.

The prisoners were then removed.
The Court then adjourned till Monday morning.

VICE-CHANCERY.—(THIS DAY).
(Baore Sir JAMES WIGRAIL)
TAYLOR V. THE EARL OF HAREWOOD.

. In this case, the bill was filed for the purpose of
proving an estate administered ; and amongst other pur-
poses, inquiring whether Daniel William Davidson had
come into actual possession of an estate to which he was
entitled under the will of Robert Davidson, made in the
year 1810. - On the Bth of March, 1842, a decree was
made in the original cause. By that decree, it was re-
ferred to the Ma -ter to make inquiries as to the state of
the family, and also as to the accounts of the property ;
and it was ordered, that the Master should also inquire
and state whether Daniel Wilson Davidson, in the will
named, had come into actual possession of the estate ;
and if so, under what title and what circumstances. iThe
Master made his report, stating the facts.
llis HONOUR, after entering fully into all the points
of the case, declared it to be his opinion, that Daniel
Wilson'Davidson was not in the actual possession of the
estate.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.
(THIS EVENING.)

H OUSE OF LORDS.

Their Lordships met at the usual hour.
Several Bills from the Commons were brought up and
read a first time.

Petitions against the Dissenters' Chapels Bill were
presented by the Earl of Rosebery from Berwick-on-
I' weed ; by the Marquis of Normanby from a ulace in
Ireland ; and petitions in favour of the Bill were pre-
-ented by the Earl of Sefton, from a congregation in
Renshaw-street, L;verpool ; by the Earl of Radnor,
the Marquis of Normanby, Lord Sudely, and Lord
Beaumont. _ _ _

Lord MONTEAGLE postponed the second reading
of the Bill for preventing the forestalling of markets hi
,Ireland till Tuesday next, for the purpose of amending
the Bill, so as to apply to Scotland as well as Ireland.
Lord CAMPBELL presented a petition from several
places in Ireland, praying that their Lordships would
legalise the Presbyterian marriages.
The Duke of BUCCLEUCH presented a petition
against the union of the sees of St. Asaph, and Bangor.
After a few words from Lord CAMPBELL and the
Loan CIIANCELLOR, the Dissenters' Chapels Bill was
postponed till this day week.
Lord VVHARNCLIFFE presented a petition praying
for the alteration of certain' clauses in the Poor-laws.
The Bishop of EXETER presented petitions from
several parts of the United Kingdom against the Dis-
senters Chapels Bill. Ile.,said that the petitioners felt
confident that the interests of religion were involved in
this measure, and prayed their Lordships not to sanction
it. This Bill, for the reasons he had stated, would therefore
receive his opposition, and he gave h;s full support to
the prayrr of the petition. In presenting these petitions'
he would state to their Lordships that thre was an irre-
gularity with respect to them, inasmuch as they were
headed as coming from members of the Presbyterian
Church in Ireland. Now, there was no such church
either in England or Ireland. Had the petitions come
from Scotland, of course -he would not have made this
observation ; but in England and Ireland no church was
recognised except the Church 'of England, and there was
an express canon of the Church against any persons
calling themselves the members of any church_ not the
.Church of England. „
Lord CAMPBELL wished to know the date of such
canon.
The Bishop of EXETER was perfectly ready to give
!he Noble Lord an answer. The canon was established
in England in the year 1603, and in Ireland about thirty
years later.
The Marquis of DOWNSHIRE presented several pe-
titions in favour of the Bill..
_PUBLIC WORE:S.

Lord GOSFORD gave notice that he should, on an
early day, call the attention of the House to the subject
of public works in Ireland.
