selves that so many as 30,000 men have come
forward, contributing 17,0001. sterling, an ace•
rage of 51. 13s. 4d. each, for the purpose of
acquiring the legislative franchise—of freeing them-
selves from the reproach of being mere political
cyphers, without a voice in the selection of repre-
sentatives.

Such persons have proved themselves worthy of the
suffrage, and they have adopted the best mode of ob-
taining it, not only for themselves; but for their less
energetic brethren, who, although similarly situated,
have not exhibited similar zeal and enthusiasm for the
good cause. Those who are submitting to petty priva-
tions, who relinquish many little comforts for the pur-
pose of achieving their own enfranchisement, have af-
forded the best evidence of their qualifications for that
important duty. They will, indeed, be free and inde-
pendent electors, not willing to barter the privileges
they have acquired by steady industry, frugality, and
self-denial. Their votes will be given for the most
eligible candidates. They will be proof against
bribery, corruption, and intimidation, will live
honoured, and bequeath to their children the noblest
heritage, the possession of an honest and unblemished
name. We are, therefore, proud to learn that 30,000
such persons have been found among the less wealthy
classes, and we sincerely hope that next year they
will receive a vast accession to their ranks from those
who, with increased and steady employment, and with
the additional stimulus to almost every species of in-
dustry, occasioned by the approaching Exhibition, will
have larger means at their disposal than has hereto-
fore
been the case.

It must be sufficiently obvious to any person at all
acquainted with the laws of real property, and
the enormous expenses occasioned by the pre-
sent complicated system of titles, that no private
individual of small means can acquire the possession
of a freehold estate. A person with a few hundred
pounds may in vain look for a favourable opportunity
for investment. The expenses attending the deduc-
tion of title and costs of conveyance would absorb
the greater portion of his property. The purchaser
of a simple close, or small freehold, will have a, much
larger sum to pay in proportion than his more wealthy
neighbour. The latter may have to pay 5 or 10 per cent,
on the value of his new estate, but the former must
make up his mind to a larger outlay than that ne-
cessary for the purchase itself, and with this addi-
tional inconvenience and drawback, that if from any
reverse of fortune, or from its becoming divisible
among his children on his death, it will become
practically unsaleable. The Society for Promoting
the Amendment of the Law, speaking on this subject,
in one of their admirable reports, say "Prac-
tically speaking, small properties cannot be
dealt with except as articles of luxury. The
large proprietor is debarred from selling, and
the poor man from buying, by the expense of the
transfer. Retrospective titles then are not merely a
legal inconvenience, but a great social evil." This is,
indeed, the truth ; they are social evils, and that of
no ordinary magnitude. But " union is strength,"
and what cannot be accomplished singly, may be easily
achieved by the cordial and zealous co-operation of many.
The freehold land societies, if the rules be judiciously
framed and the objects carried out with judgment
and integrity, will overcome every obstacle, remove
every impediment ; a large estate may be purchased
with only a single title to be investigated, which, in
turn, may be subdivided, so as to suit the wishes of
subscribers, giving to each man a fair return for his
investment, larger than that which he can obtain
through the savings'-bank, and, at the same time,
giving him without expense the great object of his
ambition—the rights and privileges of a freeman—a
voice in the national councils, and the power of making
known his wants and wishes in the Imperial Parlia-
ment through his chosen representative.

It is not our custom to offer any observations on
ex parte statements, or questions that are still sue
judice. Audi alteram partem is a golden rule which
we ever desire to respect and preserve inviolate. We,
therefore, advisedly abstained from commenting in
any way on the extraordinary transactions brought
to light in the case of " SAMUEL SIBURY V. the
Rev. THOMAS HODSOLL Winxisis," although
affording a powerful illustration of some of
the many artful schemes and devices to entrap
the unwary, daily resorted to by some of the
denizens of the modern Babylon, and also of
the imperative necessity for the utmost caution,
on the part of those who desire to obtain pecuniary
accommodation in other than public and legitimate
channels. The matter, however, has at length been
disposed of ; the conditional order has been made
absolute. No notice that can now be taken
of the subject by the public journals can
in any degree influence or affect the result.
We are, therefore, at length at liberty ; and
we conceive it to be our imperative duty to draw a
salutary moral from the facts and circumstances, so
as to prevent new victims from falling into similar

snares.
On the sth of the present month a rule nisi was
obtained, at the instance of the defendant, calling upon
the plaintiff to show cause why a judge's order to
stay proceedings in the action, on payment of the sum
of 751. for principal and 61. for costs, by monthly in-
stalments, should not be set aside, and why the plain-
tiff should not refund various sums of money,
amounting in the whole to 461., which had been
already paid by the plaintiff in pursuance of said
order ; and why plaintiff or his attorney should not
pay the costs of the application. On Friday, when
the mat ter was again brought forward, mo-
goes were made on behalf of the plaintiff
and his attorney for additional time to an
swer the affidavits, but which the Court on due
consideration did not think fit to accede to. No
cause was therefore shown against the original rule,
which was made ab*olute as a matter of course.
From the affidavits used on behalf of the defendant,
it appeared, that on or about the month of August,
1849, that gentle man received by post a printed
circular letter, stating that the author had been fa-
voured with the negotiation of loans of money for
clergymen, officers on full pay, &c. (these appear to
be the parties most easily victimized, and from whom
some money can most certainly be extracted by way
of compromise under the fear of exposure), and that
he was enabled to obtain sums of money for short
terms, from 1501. to 10,0001., on the personal security
alone of gentlemen who might be in want of
pecuniary accommodation, and who had the
means of returning the same when due. It also
stated that full confidence might be placed, and
discretion would be used in the conduct of the loans,
and that no securities would be required until the
money was ready and all preliminaries settled and
agreed upon. There was one circumstance that might
have awakened suspicion, the application was to be
by letter only, and to an anonymous correspondent,
the liberal and trustworthy agent concealing
his real name under the modest appellation of
" Alpha," 57, Burton-street, Tavistock-square. But
that mystery was satisfactorily explained—it was to
prevent " frivolous applications ;" but " on receipt of
any genuine communication the real name and ad-
dress would be immediately supplied, and all neces-
sary information given." The letter was on the whole
written with great plausibility, carrying with it an ap-
pearance of frankness and bone i fides that might easily
deceive an inexperienced person—we say an inex-
perienced person, for any one possessed of ordinary
knowledge of the world must have known that such
offers are seldom, if ever volunteered, and that some-
thing more is required as a guarantee for good
faith than the self-praise of an unknown and anony-
mous correspondent. The defendant was, however,
captured by the glittering bait. He wanted money
for the purpose of assisting a friend, and he deter-
mined to avail himself of the services of the obliging
" Alpha." He accordingly wrote to the address in-
dicated, inquiring the terms and mode of effecting
such loan, to which he received a prompt reply,
signed " J. GARDINER," but which, from the affidavit
of a gentleman named " BEART," were-in the hand-
Iwriting of a person named SAMUEL SIRURT, the
younger, who became an insolvent debtor in the
year 1846, having been remanded for eighteen months
for having fraudulently made away with property. The
unsuspecting defendant was satisfied with the• terms
proposed by the eidolon GARDINER, 1;14.
himself by
113 that high-
minded gentleman could not degrade
meddling in any transaction • below the minimum
amount of 1501., it was, after some correspondence
,
agreed that Mr. Wrexties should accept a bill at
three months for:1501., and that upon such sum being

raised he should receive one moiety, the balance being
retained by the kind Mr. GARDINER for his own use,
and for which he was to provide when the bill arrived
at maturity. Even this stipulation did not excite any
doubt in the mind of the credulous defendant. It did
not strike him as out of the usual routine cf business
that he should become responsible for a perfect stranger,
or how it happened that a person with so large a
connexion among, and unbounded influence with, ca-
pitalists should require any assistance in procuring so
small a sum. The bill was duly accepted-in blank for
the sum of 1501., payable three months from the date,
the 27th September, 1849. The return did not
however, come quite as soon as he bad expected from
the professions of his new friend. He addressed two
letters of remonstrance, the second of which elicited
an answer dated the sth of October, 1849, in which
Mr. GARDINER said, "1 do not know what makes you
so uneasy. You must understand this, if you are
going off your engagements, I am not going off mine.
You agreed to my proposition of our jointly borrowing
1501., to be divided between us. lam endeavouring
to obtain this loan, and shall certainly not relinquish
the project until I fail, unless very handsomely paid
for it!"

After such a communication, it was sufficiently
manifest that the defendant had been grossly vic-
timized, that he had fallen into the hands of an ac-
complished swindler; but he continued hoping against
hope, and corresponding on the subject up to the
15th of December, one fortnight before the maturity
of the bill. Then, at length, Mr. GARDINER
conceiving " facts were best," acknowledged
that "he had received 701. from a fellow who
promised the balance the next day, which, being his
moiety, he had applied to his own use, intending to
transmit the residue, when he received it, to Mr.
WlLxres. Then commenced a series of subterfuges,
a tangled web of fraud and duplicity, surpassing any-
thing in the annals of swindling that has ever 3et
been perpetrated. Exposure was to be avoided by
all means; the country clergyman ought to redeem
the bill with 751., but GARDINER had but 25/. avail-
able, and he had actually the audacity to transmit his
own note for 501. to his victim, in order that he might
get cash for it in the country and send it up to GAR-
DINER to take up the former bill, which would other-
wise be passed away, and the full amount must be
paid. The bill, however, became due. GARDINER,
although deploring the scrape into which they
had fallen became actually jocular on the subject. He
had arranged that there was "tube noblackguardism I
but everything to be done, as.gentlemanly cut-throats
of the olden time— the CLAUDE DUvAL style." He
recommended a solicitor to accept service, appear,
and give a consent for judgment for the defendant
getting full time; nay, further, making such excel-
lent terms as to get him off for payment, by instal-
ments, of the moiety, 751. and costs, GARDINER'S
own undertaking being accepted for the residue,
which was, of course, duly and regularly paid ! !
We have not space to follow through this mass of
deceit, suffice it to say, that Mr. WILKINS, after
paying 461., on account, was at length enlightened,
and, with a manliness, for which he deserves the ut-
most credit, he determined on bringing the whole
matter before the public, and with what result we
have just seen. We trust that the entire affair may
act as a beacon-light to warn many unsuspecting
and inexperienced persons of the shoals and quick-
sands that are before them, and on which the happi-
ness of many families has been shipwrecked. If it be
so, he will not have parted with his money in vain,
or the matter be without advantage to society in
general.

SOYER'S RELISH.
Alexis Soyer has conferred upon the world a new
benefaction. The very title of it is suggestive of its
excellence. It affords another proof that the author,
as well as his book, is entitled to the name
of the Gastronomic Regenerator. They may
talk to us of " Alison on Taste," but, to our think-
ing, " Soyer on Taste " is immeasurably more
palateable. Is there any doubt upon this point ?
We refer confidently to the " New Relish," satisfied
thst the assertion, under its influence, will be
swallowed with infinite satisfaction. As we despair
of in any way affording a notion of the flavour of this
most delicious and incomparable Relish, we must con-
tent ourselves with declaring its name to be its
most exact definition. A relish it unquestionably
imparts to the most wholesome viands, and we can-
not help thinking that with a bottle or two of such
sauce the shipwrecked sailor might have devoured,
even with gusto, the kid gloves and morocco slippers
spoken of in Constable's Miscellany.

ANTI-POPERY.
TO THE DISSENTERS OF ENGLAND.
MY GOOD FRIENDS,—Are you too busy in :the
fight for our glorious Church Establishment to listen
to a fireside story ?
There was a certain pilgrim who journeyed alone
across a great desert, wherein was no help for him
against man or beast. And it came to pass, as he
journeyed, that two savage beasts contended in the
way. They were spent with long fighting and at the
point of death and because they saw the end ap-
proaching their cry was exceeding loud.
And the leopard said unto the pilgrim, " Oh pil-
grim, my brother, save me from this tiger. Re-
member, I beseech thee, slaughtered men and ravaged
folds, and aid me in this strait, for it is very sore."
Then the-pilgrim uplifted his staff and disabled the
tiger, whom the leopard easily worried.
Moreover, the pilgrim) washed the wounds of the
leopard, and anointed them with oil from his cruse ;
and the leopard yelped much in praise of the pilgrim.
But when it was now dark, and the leopard was an-
hungered he made a meal of the pilgrim, with this
comfortable apostrophe,—" Thou fool, can the Ethi-
opian change his skin or the leopard his spots; and
hadst thou not known me of old ?"

My poor good-natured friEnds,

DEATH OF LORD NUGENT, M.P.—The Right Hon.
Lord Nugent, M.P. for the b rough of Aylesbury, expired at
his seat, Lillies. yesterday afternoon. His Lordship's demise
was scarcely expected, as his disease had taken a more fa-
vourable turn.

DEATH OF COL. KEATE, LATE SCOTS FUSILIER
GuAans.— On the 23d instant, Colonel }create, who had
retired from the army, died in town. lie entered the service
in the year 1800, and served with his regiment in the Penin-
sula from 1803 till the beginning of 1813; he was present at
the passage of the Douro, the affair near Salamanca, battle
of Busaco, siege of Ciudad Rodrigo, covering the siege of Ba-
dajoz, battle of Salamanca, capture •f Madrid, and siege of
Burgos. The late Colonel Kate had received the silver
war-medal for Busaco, Ciudad Rodrigo, aid Salamanca. He
formerly held the appointment of equerry to the late Duke of
Cambridge.

The original MS. of Waverley, wholly in the
handwriting of Sir Walter Scott—the same MS. which was
sold at Evans's, in 1831, with the other MSS. of the noble
series of novels and romances, has just been presented to the
Advocates' Library at Edinburgh, by Mr James Hall,
brother of the late Captain Basil Hall. At the sale alluded
to, the MS. was bought by Mr. Wilks, M.P., for something
under 201., and it was sold by that gentleman the next week
to Mr. Hall at Mr. Hall's price of forty guineas. It is a
well known fact to all readers of Scott, that the novel of
Wavierley was commenced about the year 1805, and laid aside
in an old cabinet till 1813, when it was again taken up, com-
pleted, and published: we need hardly add with what suc-
cess The MS. both in the dated watermarks of the paper
and by features in the handwriting, confirms and illustrates
the story of the delay. It is not perhaps generally known
that the trustees of the Advocates' Library were in treaty
for the purchase of the whole of the MSS., and actually
offered more for them than they realised at the sale. While
we regret that the offer of the Advocates was not accepted,
and the MSS. kept together for public use and general grati-
fication, we are pleased to think that, all circumstances con-
sidered, the most interesting of the MSS. (thanks to Mr.
Hall) has been added to the treasures of the noblest library
in Scotland.-401theneurn.

LONDON, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 1850.

The second annual meeting of the members of the
council and members of the Freehold Land Societies
was held in the committee-room of the Town-hall,
Birmingham, on Tuesday morning. It was numer-
ously and influentially attended ; several Members of
Parliament, and delegates from the various societies
throughout England, almost all of which were re-
presented, took part in the deliberations preparatory
to the public meeting. It appears that there are
already no less than eighty of these associations
in existence, exclusive of a great number of affiliated
branches ; that they contain in the aggregate no less
than 30,000 members subscribing for 40,000 shares,
and that the paid-up capital amounts to about
170,0001. This is a very fair commencement for an
institution which is still but in its infancy ; but we
confess that we shall be deeply disappointed if it
should not receive a vast accession of strength, as
well in the number of subscribers as in the pecuniary
resources that will be available within the ensuing
year. Heretofore the condition and circumstances of
the country have not been favourable for the due
development of such a project. The nation is only
just recovering from the commercial crisis that
brought so many persons to the verge of ruin, and
paralyzed industry. The labouring population, from
whose ranks these associations must chiefly be re-
cruited, could not obtain remunerative employment
sufficient to enable them to set aside a portion of their
earnings for any purpose, however desirable. The
sufferings of past years—the knowledge that so long
as our infamous monetary code is main-
tained in its present form, such crises must
be of constant recurrence, induced the great
mejority of the working classes to put by their savings,
in a shape in which they could at any moment be
made available, on the approach of " the rainy day."
-Under such circumstances, then, it is by no means
surprising that greater numbers have not enrolled
their names as members of the freehold land so-
cieties. We have rather cause to congratulate our-

ROYAL ARTILLERY.—WOOLWICH, Nov. 26.-17
gunners left the garrison this morning in charge of a ser-
geant for Leith Fort, to fill up Captain Pickering's company,
3d battalion, at that station, and Captain Paynter's com-
pany, 2d battalion, at Glasgow, and Fort George, North
Britain. 11 gunners also left the garrison at two o'clock
A.M. to-day for Euston-square, under the charge of a non-
commissioned officer, to proceed to Manchester, to fill up
Captain Cock's company, 6th battalion, at teat station. 12
fine young men, recruits, joined bead-quarters yesterday
from Coleraine, where they were enlisted by the recruiting
party under Captain Knox. A new great coat, of a better
description than those now used, is to be issued to the non-
commissioned officers of the battalions and field batteries.
The cloth is of a dark blue colour, similar to the cloaks used
by the Royal Horse Artillery, and of such good quality that
it is calculated to serve five years inalead of three years, the
period allowed fur the present gray coats. The new great
coats are lined with serge and fitted with scarlet collars.
ROYAL ENGINEERS. -- Lieutenant-Colonel Ord,
who for several Years was the commanding officer of Royal
Engineers and Royal Sappers and Miners at Quebec, has
left Canada and returned to England, and has been suc-
ceeded by Lieutenant-Colonel Streatfield, who had the com-
mand at Kingston. Captain Gordon has proceeded from
Montreal to Kingston, to take the command of that district
I for a temporary period; and Captain the Hon. H. F.
Keane, recently arrived in Canada, is now in charge at
Montreal.
SHIPWRECK AT LONDON•RRIDGE.—On Monday,
during the high wind, a vessel, containing 350 quarters of
malt, in endeavouring to pass under London• bridge struck
one of the pier-heads, and the crew had great difficulty in
effecting a safe retreat from the vessel ; the whole of the
valuable-cargo, however, sank- to the bottom of the Thames
—but during yesterday a great number of sacks filled with
grain were recovered from the river, which, of course, were
greatly damaged by the water.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris papers of yesterday.
We find in the National the following admirable
article on the agitation going on in England against
Papal aggression :
" The Catholics complain of the Liberals of all coun-
tries who demand liberty for all opinions, and yet who
raise a cry of alarm at each new progress made by Ca-
tholicism. The reason is clear; because Catholicism is
the born enemy of liberty; because, as soon as it has ob-
tained a footing in a country it endeavours to enslave it.
All other religions consider themselves free enough
when they are permitted to govern themselves, but the
Catholic Church believes itself oppressed as long as it
does not govern the conscience of others. Who can
forget in its history the inquisition, or St. Bartholomew,
or the war of the Cfeennes, or the revocation of the
edict of Nantes? When, two mouths ago, a
Paris journal undertook the defence of the
inquisition, it was in the truth of Catholicism. The
demonstration was accused of being inopportune
inopportune and rash it may have been, but false it
certainly was not. The English can remember Thomas
Becket, Rho owed his glory to his obstinate resistance
to the wishes of his sovereign ; they can point to the
gunpowder plot, and to King James, supported by Loui.
XIV., to make the country Ca•holic in spite of itself.
In fact, their whole history is full of lessons of the am-
bition and intrigues of the Court cf Rome, of the
trouble which it causes in all states where it dominates.
But what need of history have we when we have before
our eyes Piedmont and Preece ? Who arrests Pied-
mont at present in her efforts to obtain civil liberty ?
Who urges the bishops against the Constitution ? Who
forbids the people to obey the law of the State ? Who
glorifies those culprits whom the justice of their
country has condemned ? Who profits by our
misfortunes, by the incapacity of our statesmen, to
resume, except in name, all the privileges of state-
religion ? Who brings us back these artisans of dis-
cord, these public pcisone;s, branded with reprobation
less by the sentence of a Pope and the decisions
of our Parliaments than by the hatred with which the
people pursues them? Who, after having asked only
for liberty, dictates it conditions to the Ministers of the
Republic, removes from all functions the unbelieving or
the dissenting, asks to have the disciplinary prescriptions
of the Church, and seizes as a right on the exclusive
monopoly of public instruction? If England could have
any ,doubt as to what is to take place in her country
from this newly-created clergy, let her cast her eyes on
Ireland. The council of Thurles has been scarcely ter-
m.nated, when of its acts—the only one published—is
the letter which forbids the Catholics to frequent the
mixed universities founded by the State at Cork, Gal-
way. and Belfast. In the apostolic letter which
establishes the episcopal hirearchy in England the
Pope does not conceal his hopes. It is to
favour propagandism that he creates bishops—
it is that the number of neophytes should increase
daily, and at least cover all England. The
new Cardinal is not less explicit, as, after having feli-
citated the Church of England on having again recovered
its orbit in the firmament, he exclaims, This day opens
to us a brilliant prospect Thus it is not to live that he
ask, it is to spread; he comes not as a priest, but as an
apostle. This religion, the ugh only just emancipated,
open4y aspires to supplant the: of the State. Het.cefor•
ward the Court of Rome has in England an interest in
opposition to that of Queen Victoria; it has there a re-
venue, an army, and generals, and will every day endea-
vour to obtain fresh followers, who will be at the same

time its subjects. This is what touches the patriotic
feeling of England—this is what causes her clergy, her
universities, and her political men to cry cut. They
have so much the more reason to cry out that Catholic
emancipation gives the right to the Pope and the Ca-
tholics. They cannot be driven our, but they roust be
watched. The Archbishop of Westminster is at present
only the guest of England, but to-morrow he may be, he
must be, her enemy."
In the Assembly General FABVIER brought for-
ward a motion for the liberation of ABD-EL-KADER,
in accordance with the formal promise given to him
by the Duc D'AUaIALE and by General LAMORICIERF,

Which promise hae been his inducement to surrender.
The motion was opposed by General SCHRAMM, the
Minister of War, who declared distinctly that the
promise had only been given to obtain possession of
the person of ABD-EL-KADEE, and that it would be
absurd to suppose that such promises so given by a
General to attain his object were ever intended to be
observed. There were repeated interruptions during
the course of the General's speech, but the motion
was rejected by a large majority.
The movement of concentration of troops on the
eastern frontier of France continues. The garrison
of Luneville is now stronger than it has been for a
considerable length of time.
The Algiers journals of the 19:h state that the
cholera has broken out again, and that 23 deaths oc-
curred on the 17th and 18th.

The gerants of the Assemblie National and of the
Gazette de France were tried on Monday on a cherge
of libelling the President of the REPUBLIC, and were
acquitted.
The dispute between the Assembly and the Minister
of the Interior on the subject of the appointment of
the police of the Assembly continues, and it is
probable that the resignation of M. BAROCHE may be
the consequence.
The Committee on the Budget yesterday exa-
mined all the amendments proposed on the Paris and
Avignon Railway Bill. It is expected that this im-
portant question will soon have a definitive solution.

M. DESAGE, who was political director of the Mi-
nistry of Foreign Affairs under the Government of the
ex-King Louis PIIILIPPE, and whose entire confi-
dence he puss( s,ed, died yesterday in Paris.
Bordeaux was on Thursday visited by a long and
violent storm of wind. The English brig Clara, of
Guernsey, was driven on the hank Des Olives, and
went to pieces. The captain was drowned, but the
crew of seven men escaped in the boat.
The speculators at the Bourse appear to be much
discouraged by the accounts from Germany, and
public securities declined considerably. The Five
per Cents. opened at 92f. 25c., rose to 92f. 35c., fell
subsequently to 91f. 40c , and closed at 91f. 50c.

In this case, which was tried at the last ses-:;i0e
Huntingdon, before Mr. Justice Patteson, theltigh'
in dispute was whether a certain road was a Public
Ouse
road, and whether a certain branch of the rivA;l the,
was a navigable stream, and there was a verdict gad
plaintiff on the first, second third, and fifth lestetl by
for the defendant on the fourth. The action wee it,'; par
order of the Vice-Chancellor Knight Bruce for t;;sitit
pose cf trying the above questions, which '•• arose In
in chancery. les/
Mr. O'MALLEY, Q.C., now moved, pursuant ja pal°
received, for a rule to show cause why judgfeeech-„3dieP
not be entered for the plaintiffs, non oestante fies
The first count stated that the road in questiou is le
highway, and that special damage had been dellivbie,a
consequence of the obstruetion by the defendant, ja the
special damage and obstruction were admitted. or
same way the second count stated that A parr
titular branch of the river Ouse was tree;
gable river and that there had been 1112, am
lion and special damage, the obstrueolecies'
special damage being admitted. In the u
lion the plaintiff complained of the defendant nels
filling
up such river in its ancient hkinfliplig
is
and course, and preventing the same from r°l3,ebede.
and along those ancientichannels and courses.
fendants stated in their plea that they made tiler:a-Of
within the lines delineated on their plans and of --

in their book of reference. In the plea thei',,,.Wor
were added—" Under and by virtue of the Prr,ittere
provisions of the said Act, and not otherwise. •Lt-id or •
him (Mr. O'Malley) at the trial that it might be ileie•
supposed that those words would amount to au allege.

to

and provisions necessary to give them a right
on the land had been complied with; and ontilsel.
ably if that was the meaning of the plea the d!t-ig,
did not prove the requisites necessary to sustefl34los
cause one of the requisites was that they Olt beau'
chase the laud, and give notice to the owner of to! ajlel
river, and pay over the value before they entered' ; tics
Learned Judge who presided at the trial thellg",ser4
was not the meaning of the plea, but that It eu'
meant that the defendants went there for the Purrtb°:,
executing the works botAl fide, which they wee for
rized by the Act of. Parliament to do, and not rnd tlo
wanton purpose. Near a place called Holly 11-
epoil
river Ouse separated into two channels, the one ": rdif-
east and the other west. After the be
of the jury, both of those channels Pius reel
taken to be public navigable streams; and lief] d°l:
question which the parties went down to Lti°,-icilig°A
to try was whether the particular branch erra-i. and
stopped up by the defendants was a navigable riv'lifil!°
the plaintiff completely established that it Wee .11e/t)''
navigable river. Along the whole length of the, 'sy
branch of the river the embarkment of the reifaieterf

annihilating it as a stream. On the other sidea'a-i'lgell),;:
they had put clia,ed laud for the purpose of wi0e",,1:4)
other branch of the river. The position on r'"oet_if''
( Mr. O'Malley) grounded this application we'sl,„--iierlP
their Lordships should be of opinion that the
words to which he had alluded contained an 51119i,'eli`''
however loose or general, that all the requisites Pit reed
out
by the Act of Parliament to be complied with' jesae''
a misdirection to tell the jury that that was notch

if a larger interpretation was put upon the woru°'
the plea was not proved; in other words, if such

struction was put upon the plea to make it a g°-
then it was not prove d.
The COURT granted a rule nisi.
Mr. WELLS then, in the same case, moved for A tb'°re
rule, calling on the plaintiff to show cause i'llfelkcs
should not be a new trial on the ground of L

being against evidence, with reference to the,4; ,100-
question being a public 'highway. He contend; 11411
