THE ADDRESS.

Mr. CHARLES VILLIERS (who wore the uniform
of a Lord-Lieutenant) then rose to address the House,
and was received with partial cheering. He spoke as
follows:—" I rise, Sir, to move that an humble address be
pros' n'el to her Majesty in reply to her gracious
Speech, which has just been read to this House from
the Ch sir. Sir, in doing so, I can assure the House that
I am fully impressed with my total inadequacy to full:,
discharge this duty, and I am sure that there is not a
person who ever preceded me in the position in which I
now stand that more required the forbearance
of the House. Indeed, Sir, hut for the circum-
stance that on all sides there app:ars a disposition
to refer the condition cf the country at the present time
to those recent changes in our commercial policy which
underwent such frequent discussion in this House,
and in which I bore my humble part—(Hear,
hear)—l should have deemed mpelf the least ap.
propriate person in the House to have been selected
for such a purpose. However, Sir, I am bound
to say that I do agree entirely in the views which her
Majesty's Government take of the present condition of
this country, and I have the most implicit reliance that
my Noble Friend at the head of the Government
will not compromise in any way—that he will not sur-
render but will maintain entire those measures which he
conceives connected with the happiness and vrell-being
of the people.—(Hear, hear.) I have no hesita-
tion in asking this House in other respects
to respond to the Speech which has just been read. Sir, I
will advert at once to those topics in her Majesty's Speech
which I presume will at once unite the feeling of this
House. It has been communicated to this House ths. t
her Majesty has experienced deep affliction from the
death of her illustrious friend, the Queen Dowager;
and I think I shall only correctly represent the feel.
ings cf this country, if I were to say, with respect
to her late Majesty, that her blameless life—her
unostentatious character—her numerous charities, as
well as the exemplary manner in which she performed
all the duties of her exalted position, gained her the
greatest respect from the people at large.—(Cheers.)
The House, I am sure, will not forget to concur in the
most cordial expression of condolement and sym-
pathy for the bereavement which her Majesty has
experienced. A circumstance is communicated in
her Majesty's Speech which we have always re-
ceived with tbo utmost satisfaction, namely,
that she maintains peace and friendly relations'
with her allies and with all foreign countries. It is
further announced in her Majesty's Speech that her Ma-
jesty has in connexion with France, by means of friendly
mediation, prevented hostilities occurring between the
Emperor of Russia and the Emperor of Austria on the
one hand, and the Sultan on the other. The causes of
this apprehended nif.tute areindicated in the Speech t:s
arising from certain siitjects cf the Emperor of Russia
and the Emperor of Austria having sought refuge andprotection in Turkey cf the Sultan, and a claim
havinn• Lem made by the Emperor of Russia and
the Emperor of Austria severally that these pri-
soners should be surrendered, in order to be pu-
nished for the offences with vs hich they were charged.
Doubt having arisen on the tart of the Sultan as to the
correctness of the construction put upon the treaties
with those Governments, and upon which this claim
was made, the Sultan re'erred to the Govern-
ments of England and France to aid him in the solu-
tion of his doubts; and I believe it is now a matter of
notoriety that the Governments of France and England,
adopting the construction that was placed on those
treaties by the Sultan—that construction being un-
favourable to the surrender of those persons, and ulti-
mately admitted to be the only correct and final one; and

the arrangement with respect to the r ersons who sought
refuge in the Sultan's dominions, was, in accordance with
the proposition which emanated from the Sultan—
(He ar)—and the result of her Majesty's mediation, in
conjunction with France, has been to prevent hostili-
ties occurring between the Imperial Government and
the Sultan, involving, perhaps, the peace of Europe;
and friendly relations have been resumed, or are about
to be resumed, between those Governments and the
Perte.—(Hear, hear.) lam perfectly well aware, Sir,
that there never was a time when any interference
on the part of this country with the affairs of
foreign nations would be regarded with more
objection than at present.—(Hear, hear.) But,
Sir, I think with respect to that intervention you will
' agree with me that a distinction must be taken in regard
to its character, and that there is a great difference
between that interference which has for its purpose
to dictate to the people the form of government under
which they shall live, or to force a Government to sup-
press its people, an act which it would otherwise be un-
able to do, and that kind of intervention which seeks to
carry out a friendly arbitration—the cause of goodwill
and peace, the cause of humanity, and the prevention of
hostilities, the issue of which might be dangerous to
ourselves.—(Hear.) I conceive from the nature of
the caso the intervention was not only justifiable
but most politic, and it is one of the fortunate
consequences of the position which we hold in the opinion
of the world that when we do lend our intervention in
the cause of peace we do so always with effect.
inl
refer to the position which we now hold .
the world, because there never was a time
when the country was regarded with more trust than at
present. The people of other countries were satisfied
now that the greatest amount of liberty might be en-
joyed consistently with peace, with order, and wealth.
Our example showed also what might be gained
by kindly concessions to the people by the Government.
Her Majesty's Speech has announced that she has for
some time been engaged in communications with diffe
rent Powers to make arrangements consequent upon
those changes which we have effected in our laws re-
lating to navigation, and that she is at the pre-
sent time negotiating with other states with a view
to prevailing upon them to extend to us the reciprocal
advantages to those which we have extended to them.
It gives me great pleasure also to remark, that her
Majesty's Speech also announces that the United
States and Sweden have already reciprocated to
this country those measures which have been
passed by this country. It is rather early
perhaps, to express any opinion with regard to the ge-
neral results which followed from the changes in our
commercial system which have been adopted. There is
every prospect that the evil consequences which have been
productive of these measures will be removed; and
it is very gratifying to observe that those evil predic-
tions have not had the slightest Lundation. There has
seldom been mixed up in any question so much sentiment
and feeling es there has in the change which has been ?r-
-fected in our navigation-laws. Rarely have so many mis-
chievous and fetal results been predicted as were pre-
dicted to be brought into effect by this change; but there
is every prospect that these predictions also will prove
entirely unfounded. There is no prospect that they
should be realised. It appears that the interest which
most expected to be effected by this change has
already found out the benefits of it by the increased
activity which has been manifested in their depart-
ments. Never were our dockyards so full of activity
as at the present moment. Whether on the Thames,
on the Clyde, on the Tyne, on the Weir,
all is busy and active ; while the very persons
who were loudest in exclaiming against the
change, now prove by their actions that
they did not believe their predictions to be true.
And it now appears, what was not before known, that
not only can we build ships much better and cheaper
than any other country, but that foreigners can build
their ships cheaper here than in any other country;
and it does appear to me that whatever advantages we
may be supposed to have been prevented from receiving
from other countries has resulted from the system adopted
in this, and that the consequence is that the change
we have adopted has done that which will make us
equal to the competition of the ships of any country in
the world.—(Hear, hear.) Ido not intend to weary
the House with any details in these matters,
but I cannot help reading a letter that has been received
from Liverpool on this subject, and perhaps the
character of the writer may be considered as a
sufficient authority on the subject. The Hon.
and Ie axned Member then proceeded to real
the let-er, which, among other things, stated that
as :regarded shipping, there was a much better feeling
sine° it was ascertained that the navigation-laws were
irretrievably doomed.—(Hear.) First-class ships were
being built, and that there was now building on the
stacks, 2,800 vessels, against 2,229 in 1845.—(Hear.)
There had been some new British ships taken up to load
for'the United States, and a few foreign ones to load
for England. Such were the first fruits of reciprocity.—
(Hear, hetes.) The statement in the Circular of Currie
and Co., shipbrokers cf Liverpool, was most import-
ant. They stated that, in the first instance, the pr -
spect of this sweeping measure had at one time put a
stop to the ship-building trade, but as soon as it was
found that the navigation laws were doomed the caso be-
came altered, and buyers and builders were now up and
doing. Now, with respect to the Weir, he hadgot a return
from the port of Sunderland, and found the amount of
tonnage building at that port in the month of Decem-
ber, 1847, was 22,140 tons, and on the 31st of
December, 1849, when the navigation saws had been
doomed for six months, the amount was 29,210. These
were the ships that were building now. As to the number
and amount of t )nnage of vessels built, in 1848, while
there seemed some doubt about the navigation-laws
being abolished, 142 ships were built with a tonnage of
37.878, but in December, 1849, there had been
155 built with a tonnage of 44,333.—(Hear, hear.) Ile
might go into much further detail upon the subject cf
the navigation-laws to convince the House of
the advaeta•t:e of the change that has been
made, bet ho knew that there e e'e many
other Hon. Members well informed upon the meet
who were likely t 3 disclose further evidence on the sub-
ject, and which he would not trouble the House further
upon, except that he would venture to say that everything
tl at was foretold by the opponents of the change in the
law ha I be en completely falsified, while everything that
was promised by its advocates was likely to be verified.
—(Hear, hear, and laughter.) Her Majesty's Speech
had communicated to the House the satisfaction which
she had derived from her recent visit to
Ireland. That her Majesty's reception in that
country should have been marked by every indi-
cation of attachment and loyalty he believed had oc-
casioned no surprise to those who were best aequainted
with the feelings of that country.—(Hear.) The people
of Ireland had often complained of the conduct of this
country towards her, and sometimes with reason; but
still she was seldom wanting in respect to the Crown,
and as they knew nothing more of her Majesty than
that, from the time of her accession down to the,
period cf her visit, she had always manifestel an interest
in the welfare cf her people, and a desire that every reason-
able complaint should be removed, and ae anxiety that
equal just;ce should be administered in all parts of her
kingdom, it was not surprising that, when her blajest)
did visit Ireland, she was received with enthusiasm.—
' (Hear, hear.) He witnessed in the capital c f
that country, when Ler Majesty was there, a
scene which he had never beheld before. He
never saw a vast concourse of people cong, e
gated together who demeaned themselves with so
much order, respectfulness, and tranquillity. Peopl,
from all quarters of the country, c f all kinds and all
opinions, seemed to have assembled there upon
that occasion, and, without compromising their self-
respect, they t corned to have come there for the out
common purpose cf marking their respect for the
person and character of her Majesty.—(Cheers.)
From it f ,rmation he had received, he did net believe
that anything had occurred among the people at large in
that country, since her Majesty's visit, to shake
those. feelings of affectionate attachment and
lo) a'ty that were then evinced in her pre-
sence ; and her Majesty could ne coefe
a greater reason for pride on that pecple than by inti-
mating her int,ntion to revisit that country.—(Hear,
hear.) The Speech from the Throne had referred to
there being great distress in that country, and that there
was great suffering among all classes. He believed
that that was still the case. It was impossible for
those who well knew the extent of that mis-
fortune with which the country was visited to think
that so soon all traces of it should be effaced; but it
was gratifying to think that in many respects the
people of that country, and the poor of that country,
were improving in their condition, and that, owing to the
abundance of the necessaries of lire, they are suffering
less now than they were doing; and that was not only
indicated by there being a less resort to public relief of
the country, but that the people were showing signs of
more contentment, and there was evidence also of there
being less crime and outrage committed in that country.
It was a satisfactory feature too now to be observed in that
country, considering the apprehensions that were ex-
pressed in regard to the system of public relief, that it
had not realised all the fears of those who were opposed
to it. It was imagined, if they once distributed relief to
the Irish poor out of the workhouse, that the people would
be generally demoralised, and that there would be a de-
pendence on public charity which nothing could resist. It
was satisfactory to observe that the instant that the neces-
saries of life were more accessible to the people they
showed no disposition exclusively to rely on the public re.
lie; and that the relief given out of the workhouse had di-
minished in the most extraordinary and satisfactory-
manner in consequence of the increased demand for their
labour and the increase in the necessaries for life. In Jar.,
1849, the in-door relief amounted to 206,654!., and in
January, 1850, it amounted to 204,4071. With respect
to the out-door relief, on the Ist of January, 1649,
it amounted to 479,576/., and on the let of .lanuary,
1850, it am 104,650/.—(Efear, hear, and loud cheers.)
Nyhat, indeed, was the state they we-re in? He would
distinguish between the statements made up for the two
years j
of 1847 and 1849, and he would judge of the re-
spective conditions of the people f, tanthe returns of

6,1941.; that while the average- of the poor• i ate
and the total amount of the poor-rates in 1842 was
8,542/, in 1849 they were only 9,o42l.—(Derision from
the Opposition benches and counter cheers.) He would
now turn their attention to the results which had been
wrought upon the great interests of the country, by the
operation of f ee-ti ak) principles, and endeavour
to show what had been the effect of those principles
upon the commerce . and general trading stock,
as he might call it, of the country.—(Hear,
hear.) In looking to this then he was equally
gratified, for whether in the manufacturing or in the
commercial departments he found that the same pros-
perity had prevailed. Then what was the state of
England? Why, the whole commercial world seemed
to have made her not only the entrepot, but

the centre of their operations ; and yet, not-
withstanding all that, the Protectionists seem to think
that: there was no reasor, or rather no necessity,
for adapting "thirgs in t`.e present day to their natural
courses. That such was the case was evident from the

course which bad been pusued; but he trusted that a
wiser as well as a better principle would pi evail,

and, therefore, it was that he took the path
which ho now observed. (Hear, hear.) The
one course contended for was a regulatel and re-
stricted trade of the country—maintaining particular
industries and interests which were enabled t
help themselves called the protective system.
The other system was to leave to tt e unfet•
tered and brilliant intelligence of a civilized people
the discovery ( f the means to obtain the highest reward
for their skill and industry.—(Hear, hear.) Placed by
general consent at the head of the commerce of the
world for years past, they seemed to have acted upon the
protective system. This system they had recently aban-
doned, and instituted another and a better one. Many ar-
guments in favour of the protective system had been ad-
vanced, butt he free-trade question seemed to have been the
one by which the question of protection had been tried;
and there had been most confident predictions and
warnings that the new system would be productive of vast
evil ,and no doubt many persons had had their confidence
shaken in come quence of the influential position of those
who took an adverse view. At the end of the first 3 ear
of its trial they were informed in the Speech what had
been the result ot the change. The time
it was true, had been short; but if those predic-
tions had been of any value they ought by this time
to have some indication of the evils that had been predicted.
He would not weary the House by a recital of all the
precEctene used one ne side or the other; but there was
one prediction introduced into all the discussions to
which he could net omit alluding,—that flee trade
could not be adopted without impairing the trade
at home impairing the condition of the
working classes, leading to the exportation of the cur-
rency, and causing the revenue to decline.—(Hear.) Ot
course a host of evils would follow iu the train.
food, which was the basis of the business of that
country, inasmuch as everything turned upon the pro-
duction of food—human and animal—there was an ade-
quate supply. The first thing they bad to look to was that
the people were well supplied wish food. Wherever thet e
was an uncertainty of supply in food, all the other
branches of trade could not fail to be deranged. Trade
simply consisted in the distribution of the necessaries of
life, and when industry was great the consumption of food
was great in proportion, for the taxes were greater upon
expenditure than income.—(Hear, hear.) Such
were the arguments put forward by the advo-
cates of free trade, and he wanted the country,
he wanted the world to know what had been the
result.—(Hear.) The evil ef the change was predicted
to be in proportion to the quantity of foreign produce
that was imported. Now, he was in a position
to state that within the la t sixteen months
they had imported more food than they had
imported during sixteen years befare.—(Loud laughter.)
They had bad an opportunity for a short time of testing
some of the predictions which were entertained as
to the operations of free trade. It was said they
had imported wheat at the rate of one million a
month. Now, what was the consequence ? his
impression and honest conviction at the present moment
was that not a single thing which had been said as to
the injurious effects of free trade had turned out true, or
offered the slightest prospect of becoming true, whilst all
the predictions of the free-traders had been fulfilled.—
(Laughter.) Trade bad increased, the condition of the
working classes was very much improved, and he did not
believe that a sovereign had left the country, or that
there was less gold in the Bank than the Hon. Member
for Warwickshire (Mr. Spooner) could desire. He was
in the possession of circulars, and documents of every
kind, coming from every part of the country, in which
people not only admitted that they were well off (a
thing which people in this country were not very ready
to admit)—(Laughter)—but said tint this happy
state of things was owing entirely to the cheap-
ness and abundance e f the necessaries of lite.
The Hon. Member then proceeded to read a letter
which he had that morning received from Bradford in
which he was told that the trade of that town had rarely
been in a better condition. The demand both for the
home and foreign market was very brisk. There has
never been so few persons receiving relief from the
parish as there were at the present time, and indeed
owing to the advance of wages, and the low price of
feod, the working classes never were in a better condi-
tion than at the present time. He had also received a
letter from Leicester—a district in which there had been
a great deal of agitation—with regard to the proposed
measure of free trade. The gre as staple trade of
Leicester was the stocking trade, and this was one of the
best indexes of the condition of the working classes:
three-fifths of the population were engaged in
this trade; and four fifths of the product of Leicester
e ore consumed in the home market. The demand in
this district had been fully equal to the capability (of
supply; all classes of workmen hal been fully employed.
There had been two advances of wages in the present
year, and there was every probability of another
increase taking place very soon in the spring.
That letter was from a gentleman, an extensive manu-
facturer of Leicester, who had filled the office of
mayor. He had another letter from the same county,
in which it was stated, with respect to the
poor-laws that there was only one able bodied frame-
work knitter in the union, and that he was only there
by mistake, and would shortly bo removed. The latter
also stated that he hal never known Leicester in a
more prosperous state. That letter was from the chair-
man of the Leicester board of guardians.—(Hear,
hear.) Ho mentioned these things in order ti
show thet the home trade did not suffer. It
was supposed that foreigners would get all, aid that the
home manufacturer would be deprived of everything;
the resul, he thought, had proved the fallacy of
such suppositions. Such was the state of
things in Leicester and its neighbourhood
but these were only specimens of what might be found
in every part of the country. He bad no hesitation in
saying that upon a careful review a the state c f the
country, what he had stated would be found to be
the fact, and that the statements in the letters he had
referred t 3 would be fully borne out. As an
evidence of the increased prosperity of the country
ees might state, that in 1848 the bankruptcies
in the country amounted to no less than 1,763,
while, in 1849, they amounted 1,146 ; being
a difference of no less than 617.—(Hear, hear.)
So much with respect to trade. Now, with respect to
the condition of the working classes, there were many
ways in which it could be taxed, and there were many
indications of a most satisfactory kind. He was
sure it would be a service of great satisfaction
to the House, that whether they looked at the
agricuitural or the manufacturing labourer, they found
him getting better wages, or enjoying more of the
comforts cf I;fe for the wages they received
than they did formeyly. It was universally admitted
that the manufacturing end agricultural labourer was
better off now than he had been for some years
past. One test ef the condition of the work.
ing classes was the amount- of public relief
distributed amongst the poor, and no doubt his Right
lion Friend the Chanoellor of the Exchequer and the
Chief Commissioner of the Poor Law Board would
presently inform ti em whether the relief el'
late months had been more useless than in
the corresponding months of last year. His owe
impression has, that there had Leon an ex-
trordinary diminution in the persons receiving
relief from the Ist of January up to the
cad of last year, compared with the preceding year.
while there was an equel reduction in the expense of
tlourpmpoartitoirnig, htehedipdoolike Ntootspiain
speak positively, aosicticveeslay,toorowifi' with
i hcon-
fidence on the subject, but he believed that between
50,0000 and 60,000 less persons had been
relieved at the end of the year than there was at the
the beginning. Conceive what a saving this would ef-
fect in a pecuniary point of view, and what a gratifying
indication it was that so many persons were no
longer in the humiliating state c f requiring public relief
in a free country like this.—(Hear.) He did not ex-
actly know the amount of bullion in the country, but, i
he was not mistaken, they were told, when discussing the
question of free trade, that it would have the effect of
draining the country of its bullion—that if we imported
corn largely, it would have a tendency to carry off our
gold, as the foreigner would not take our manufactures,
but had been the result, why never in the history of the
Bark of England had there been so much gold in the
Thenßank,
withthe respect

present.—(Hear, hear.)
the revenue, according
as
to general report, the revenue now was fir from
declaring there was an actual increase of two mil-
lions —(An Honourable Member—" A surplus you
mean.") Oh well, it came to the same thing,
a surplus over expenditure. He did not think it
was what they were accustomed to in that House to
have a surplus over expenditure.—(Hear, hear.)
Then, with regard to crime, which was
another index ot the state of the country.
In 1847 the number of offences in England was 10,052,
and in 1849 it amounted to 9,502. With respect to
Ireland, the number of the offences reported by the consta-
bulary in 1848 was 3,615, and 1849 it was 2,501. He had
always contended that the poverty and crime of the people
were influenced by the price of their food. He had got a
calculation of what the country saved when food was
cheap, compared with when it was dear. The people in
this country had to be fed, and there was a cer-
tain expenditure required, in order to acquire that
food. Ihe average price of wheat in December, 1847,
was 695. 5d.; and in December, 1849, it was 395. 4d.
The average price of barley in 1847 was 435., and in 1849
it was 255. He took the very lowest estimate of the
consumption of the food of the people in this country.
The difference in the price of grain between 1847
and 1849 was 61,000,000/., and in other articles
of provisions, including batter, cheese, &c , the
difference in price in those two years was 30,000,0(10/.
So that the result was, that between 1847
and 1849, 11 e difference in the expenditure of
the proplc in food was 91,000,000/. They
celled It 91,000,000/, and 301 notwith4tinding
the great di-parity which gas exhibited by 'rat re fight e
the adoption of free trade ea; called an experiment. An
experiment !an experiment ! What di/1 they mean by
an experiment ? When they called free trade an expe-
riment, he would ask these by whom the cry was raise d
What had been the result of this experiment ? Tht.fires
was that to which he had just alluded, and in common
justice he felt bound to inquire ; and in rendering justice
lice to all pat ties he thought the inquiry ought to be an-
swered, and he felt bound to inquire what substitute the
Protectionists would find for free trade? He knew of
ao oee which was equivalent to the benefit now enjoyed
by the country, and until some better provision was made
did not wish to alter the system which had been adopted.
Quite sure was he that no other system would be adopted
in that house.—(Hca", hear.) The next subject
noticed in her Majesty's Speech was a declaration
of her respect for the &Artie which was awed to pre-

vail in the agricultural districts of the country.—(Hear,
hear.) For himself, no one could be more seri-
ously grieved for such distresees. Much had
been said about these distrerses as arising from the
expenses levied upon the land, but he thought that
those expenses were easily ascertair able, and might be
much reduced, yet the source of his regret
was the deeper, because Le felt that in that
House they might net he rightly understood
The question would probably be raised, whether the
occupiers of land were suffering or not, but he thought
there would be great difficulty in extending any
legislative relief to them. The landed interest
had great power in this country, and he
was not aware that they had thrown away
any opportunities of st sting their views, or of
getting any relief from the legislature.—(Laughter.)
It was difficult to find any measure of relief which
could le rendered to the occupiers of land that had
not already been anticipated.— (Laughter.) He had
never been able to discover that any liability
attached to what was called the agricultural interest,
though he found they had been fortunate enough to ob-
tain a great many a xemptions.—(Cries of " lle ar,
hear.") Indeed, to the agriculturalist exemp-
tion was pc cear ; his horses nerd exempt
from duty, and he had no taxes to pay for his dogs
nor his irnpleatentr, and he was released from
the payment lof tolls. He observed that those who
represented the agricultural interest showed great
solicitude about the occupiers and not the owners
of land, but the fact was that when any local burthen
was removed the value of land increased, and conse-
quently the landlord demande 1 a higher rent;
so that which was. sought to relieve the occupier
c:i', in truth, relieve the landowner. He made allusion
to the 6ubjrct of local burdens, because so much stress
had been laid upon it, and because he thought it was
impossible to extend any relief by legis-
lative means. Lord Eldon, who was pre-
possessed in favour of land, said on the ques-
tion of the corn-laws, that the removal ef local
burdens would be no sort of use to °croupiers,
because every burden removed would tend to
increase the value of the land to the owner.
Now, looking at what was claimed by the occupiers of
land, he could see, a‘ter much examination, their claims
simply amounted to this, that they expected Parliament
to guarantee the price of their produce, and then
they thought they would be safe. And he
thought that, considering the experience which
the farmers had had, or ought to have had,
that was one of the greatest delusions he had ever
beard of in the history of human delusions. All the
evidence which had been given before this House had
consisted merely of details given by farmers them-
!elves of the manner in which they had been
deceived with regard to this question, when he
himself had addressed the House some ten years ago,
on the subject, the greater part of his speech had con-
siste 1 chiefly of extracts, which he read from the evidence
which had been laid before the House. It shewed that
distress of the farmers arose mainly from their having
trusted blindly to the Act of Parliament. In 1822 they
had come to the flothe, complaining that they had had
a price of 80s. per quarter guaranteed to them, and that
it was then only 49;, and they had to pay the same rent
then as when they got 80s. In 1836 they had
complained that they could only get 355. per quarter. It
was remarkable, that the time of their greatest :dis-
tress was also the period of their highest protection—at
those two Feriods when they had sought relief from
the House they had bad the greatest protection.
The entire question which was agitated was
whether farmers could live when wheat was
at 55., that was the problem which he thought
had been propounded. The farmers said that in former
times they always had hope because they had protection.
But in the evidence which had been given to the House
at that period there was nothing but dismay and despair
—expressive of their having been deceived. In 1836 the
femurs said they never expected wheat at ss. or 6i. per
bushel ; but a farmer bad contessed that it was possible
for farmers to live when wheat was at this price.
And they would have been a happy and contented pee-
ple now had they then been satisfied with that ss. duty.
He believed the Legislature could offer no relief to the
cecupiers of land which would have the offect of prevent-
ing distress. A duty on wheat at 40.9. a bnshel could not be
entertained by this House; and they were not pre-.
pared to raise the price of the food of the
people, because it was impracticable to do so. The
landowners held under such a variety of circumstances,
that no stated rules could be applied to them. Belisle
did net always take land as people took a
shop or a mill. Some were sportsmen,
some were politicians,end some were agriculturists,whilst
some tied it up, wishing it to go in alpartieular;line of
descent circa eistances very unfavourable to
agriculture, and unless the Legislature regulate d the
price of land and the way it should be produced,
they could get no good by interfering with the ma.t_ee
You could not guarantee a tenant against distress any
more than you eould guarantee any man against the evils

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Jan. 30.
(Before the CIIIEF CommtssioxEß.)

IN THE ➢TATTER OF THE HON. ADOLPHUS FEEDERICE
CHARLES HOLYNEUX CAPEL.

In July last the insolvent applied to this Court for
protection. His petition was refused. lie had re-
sided at Theyden House, Epping, and contracted
debts and liabilities to the amount of 32,0001. He
had no assets, but it was said that, out of court, an
offer of 2s. 6d. in the pound, proposed to be raised by
means of friends, had been refused by the creditors.
A. few weeks since an affidavit was presented to the
Court, setting lorth that he had been residing for
some time at No. 4, Wilton-street, Grosvenor-
square, unmolested by his creditors, and praying that
he might be heard under the 28th section, on an ap-
plication for a final protecting order. The prayer
was granted, and be now came up accordingly.
Mr. Nicholls (with whom was Mr. Sturgeon) sup-
ported ; Mr. Dowse and Mr. Sargood appeared on
behalf of a number of creditors ; Mr. Bagley opposed
on behalf of Mrs. Woodhouse, of Toxteth-park, near
Liverpool, a creditor for 4,0001.
The insolvent was examined by Mr. Dowse, and
said he had been residing at• the house of Mr. John
Joseph Jowett, who was a creditor for 5681., on ac-
count of which he held bills of exchange. After a
stay of eight days at Mr. Jowett's, he went by an
early morning train for Dover en route to
France. He stopped at an hotel at Calais a
few days; then at an hotel at Boulogne
for about six weeks ; then at an hotel,
and with his sister at her residence at Paris.
He returned to England a little before the middle of
November. During that time he visited England
twice, once in July, and the other time in October.
On the occasion of the first visit he arrived in Dover
on a Saturday morning, went to Brighton that after-
noon, and left Brighton on Monday night.
When at Brighton, he stopped at the Bedford
Hotel. On the second visit he came over to
Folkestone on a Sunday morning. The first
visit was on pleasure, the second on business.
When he returned to England in November he
went direct from the railway station to lodg-
ings at Mrs. Andrews's, No. 4, Wilton•street.
He had resided before at 4, Wilton•street, and been
known by the name of Mr. Cuthbert. On this oc-
casion he took lodgings in his own name. He had
resided and slept there ever since, except a few days
when he had been out visiting. He had never
given instructions to Mrs. Andrews to deny him.
Thomas Clarke, cf Museum-street, Bloomsbury,
said he was a process-server, and after having made
fruitless inquiries at 86, Ebury-street and in Bond-
street, he inquired at No. 4, Wilton-street, and
Has told that Mr. Capel was not known there.
About a week since he applied at Mr. Lewis's, the
insolvent's solicitor, but could not get his address.

Mr. DOWSE submitted that the insolvent was not
entitled to his protecting order under the section in
the 7th and Bth Victoria. The statute required that
the insolvent whose protection was refused on his

first hearing should place himself in the hands of his
creditors. In place of doing so he had been to France.
His evidence was now that he had visited England
twice. The evidence did not bear out his affidavit.
Reckless as he had been in contracting debts, he had
not evinced sufficient caution in making his affidavit.
His affidavit set forth that be had twice visited Eng_
land, and that be had walked about the streets of
London without concealment.

The insolvent explained that the passage respect-
ing his walking in the streets of London had refer-
ence to the period when he resided in London.
Mr. DOWSE would submit, notwithstanding this
explanation, that if a gentleman, no matter in what
position of life, was thus careless in making an
affidavit, he was not entitled to explicit reliance in
other statements that he might make. His affidavit
further set forth that he returned to take up his resi-
dencea
hours as
in London on the Ist of November. His evi-
dence that day fixed the date at about or a little
before the middle of November. The insolvent said

them his whereabouts.

Mr. BAGLFY could not help regretting that the in.
solvent had not, in mercy to himself and in mercy to
his friends, avoiding bringing► his unfortunate con-
duct again before the public if his affidavits had
stated fully what had been his conduct since the last
hearing, he was persuaded that the Court would not
have acceded to his petition to be again heard that
day. Not a single creditor resided in Dover, Folk-
stone, or Brighton, the places which he had visited
on pleasure or business. He was asked if he had
seen any of his creditors, and his answer was
" No." He was asked if he had endeavoured to
make any arrangement with his creditors, and his
answer was No." His petition virtually was to be
again heard, because since the 12th of July he had
not been arrested. Ile had not given the ere-

if he had, there were many of them whose judgments
were either too old, or who had not obtained judg-
ments. These had no power to arrest him. It was
said he bad been in London since November. lle

would protest against the resent application as an
absurdity, and such as the Ceurt, in the due exercise
of its dignity, would unhesitatingly reject.
Mr. SARGOOD said, the application at that tino:t
was obviously premature, and it 'rust necessarily be
dismissed.

Mr. NICHOLLS said be was sorry that any errors
had crept into the affidavits made by the insolvent,
but he submitted that the explanations which had
been given to his Learned Friend Mr. Dowse wculd
be deemed satisfactory by the court. He was sure that
there had not been, on the part of the insolvent, any wil-
ful intention to deceive the creditors or the Court. It vas
true the insolvent's debts were large, but he had known
many insolvents whose debts were much larger that Mr.
Capers were who had obtained their immediate
di-charge. It should be recollected that the amount
of 32,0001., included 6,0001. on account of railway
liabilities, for which no consideration had been re-
ceived ; also a sum of 5,0001. to his brother (the Earl
of Essex) ; 4,0001. to Mrs Woodhouse, and other
sums to private ere diters, leaving no amount of trade
debts between 11,0001. and 12,0001. Seine of these
had been contracted in the course of eight years next
preceding the insolvency, and not in four, as stated
by Mr. Bagley. There was no evidence that the
insolvent had been guilty of any fraud or misrepre-
sentation in contracting these debts. The creditors
knew that he was, elthough a member of a noble family,
only a younger son. Oa the last occasion 43 credi-
tors opposed ; that number was now reduced to fif-
teen. He would submit that the insolvent had suf-
fered great inconvenience by being obliged to live se-
parate from his family, and that he had been so long
in the hands of his creditors that he was now entitled
to receive his protecting order.
His HONOUR said that when the insolvent first
came up for his protection, whether he regarded the
amount of his debts or the period in which they had
been contracted, he felt it would have been an entire
dereliction of his public duty if he (the Commis-
sioner) had not then refused him the protection of
that court. He had heard nothing to alter his opinion
that those debts bad been recklessly incurred, not in-
curred fraudulently or by misrepresentation, but
without any reasonable expectation of payment. He
should have been ashamed of himself had he refused
protection to a poor tradesman who had thus con-
tracted a small amount of debts, and let a gentleman
of elevated rank go scot-free from such a mass of
debts as he found in that schedule. He was clearly
of opinion that what the law contemplated in the
98th section was, that a person who had contracted
debts as the insolvent had, and had the protection of
that court refused in consequence, should place
his person in the power of his creditors. Could it
be said that this gentleman had done so ? He had
flitted from place to place, in every way escaping
and avoiding his creditors. The section, he repeated,
contemplated that the person should be liable to the
seizure of creditors. Could it be said that the insol-
vent had done anything towards effecting an arrange-
ment with his creditors ? No ; nothing. Whilst he
felt it his duty to refuse the application now made, he
would say that he did not believe there had been any
intentional mis-statement by the insolvent in his affi-
davite, and that he had answered all questions as be-
came his station and character.

Mr. Nrcuora.s trusted his Honour would name a
day when the insolvent might renew his application.
His HONOUR said the application might be renewed
after the lapse of five months. He should then require
the insolvent to show that he had made some proposal
to the creditors, and the creditors to show that they
had also made some efforts to effect a settlement of
their demands.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MARYLEBONE.
The Rev. Mr. Boone, rector of St. John's Pad-
dington, and another Rev. Gentleman, one of the
curates, whose name did not transpire, attended at
this court before Mr. Broughton, who, on the previous
day, deferred his decision upon a charge preferred
against Mr. James Gammage, master of a national
school in Paddington, at the head of which is the
respected clergyman first alluded to, for having cruelly
ill-used one of his pupils, a delicate little boy named
William Taylor, ten years of age.
The evidence in the first instance given has already
appeared.
Whipp, the officer, now produced a cane, with
which, as alleged, complainant had been castigated.
(It will be remembered that it was sworn on the first
examination that the boy's back and shoulders had
upon them large wheals, and that blood had issued
from one or more of them; there was also blood upon
his shirt.)
By direction of the Magistrate, Mr. Jones, who
took down the former depositions, read the whole of
them to the several witnesses.
Mr. BROUGHTON (to complainant)—ls this the cane
you were punished with ? Complainant—l think it
is, Sir ; it looks like it. (The cane was about a
yard and a quarter in length, and of no very great
thickness.)
By defendant—l was standing when you flogged
me. I think you were in a passion when you did so.
While you were punishing me you did not say any-
thing, to the best of my recollection. You were en-
gaged in giving a singing lesson at the time, and after
the caning you gave mc, you went on with the lesson
as usual.
William Davidson, one of the teachers, said, in reply
to defendant, I saw you immediately after the corn-
plainant left. You did not then seem angry. You
resumed your duties in the usual way. I have never
seen you lay a boy across the form to cane him, nor
did I ever hear of a boy being caned by you in that
way.
Thomas Bryan, the pupil teacher, who had given
the most important evidence on Tuesday, was de-
sired to stand up in the witness- box.
Mr. BROUGHTON—Did you ever see a boy beaten
before at the school in the same way that this boy
was ? Witness—Yes.
Mr. BROUGHTON—Have you ever seen a boy put
across the form when he had what you yesterday
called a•' downright" flogging ? Witness-1 saw
such a thing once ; the boy's name was John Porter.
By defendant—That was a year ago; and it was
for playing truant. He was flogged at his father's
request. I did not hear you caution and admonish
him while you were punishing him.
Crosswell, one of the warrant-officers of the court,
was re-examined, and said that when the warrant
was applied for he saw the state of the hod's back
and shoulders ; there were several marks of violence,
and blood had oozed from one of them.
Defendant then called his witnesses.
Joseph Drake, a beadle, employed at the Rev.
Mr. Boone 'e church, said that he was present in
the school-room during the astronomical lecture,
and he 35W the complainant there ; he behaved him-
self very improperly, and blackened some of the boys'
faces with ink, which caused a laugh, while the lec •
ture was going on.
Alfred King (a pupil) said, in answer to defen •
dant, I saw complainant laughing while the lec-
ture was being delivered, and he was cutting up an
apple, and putting pieces into ether boys' mouths. I
have never seen you lay a boy across a form to cane
him. It was not my impression that you bad lost
your temper.
By Mr. BROUGHTON—The first caning was for
playing in school. The second for being saucy.
I never saw any boy caned so much before; but 1
don't think the caning he had was enough for him.
James Hazeman, aged 12, was next examined. He
stated that he bad been at the school between five and
six years. He was present when the caning took
place, and he heard complainant say that if he could
have laid hold of his whip which he had in the school,
he would have brought it out to his master.
By defendant—l have been caned by you, but only
when I deserved it. I believe lam the better for the
caning which I have received.
Defendant---I am glad to hear it.
Mr. Frost, master of another school at Paddington,
said that complainant was formerly a pupil of his, and
was a very unruly boy.
Mr. BROUGHTON—Did you ever cane a boy till he
was bruised all over his back ? Witness—Certainly
not ; I should be sorry to do so.
Defendant—Does it require a very severe blow to
make a mark on the back ? Witness—l should
think not.

A. number of testimonials from clergymen of high
standing were banded in for the inspection of the
Magistrate ; they set forth that defendant was a man
whom they much respected, and that his firmness of
purpose and at the same time kindness of manner to-
wards his pupils, were calculated to afford satisfaction
to all under a hose authority he had as a teacher and
master acted. _ _ _

7 he Rev. Mr. Boone spoke in the highest terms of
the defendant, whose salary had recently, in conse-
quence of his valuable servic,s, been raised from 701.
to 801. per year. In giving him so good a character
he was not only speaking his own sentiments, but
those of the whole of the committee also. Ile would
not enter into this particular case, but this he knew
that parents had frequently come to the committee
with a request that their children night he severely
punished for misconduct. Be (the Rev. Ge►►tleman)
knew no school in London in which corporal punish-
ment, which he, generally speaking, disapproved, was
so seldom inflicted as in the establishment in which
defendant was the master.

Mr. BROUGUTON carefully reviewed the whole of
the evidence adduced, and ultimately came to the
conclusion that chastisement of much tco severe a
nature had been inflicted, and he must therefore con-
vict defendant in a penalty for the atsault.
He was fined 405., and in default of payment one
month's impri onment.
The amount was paid by the Bev. Mr. Boone, who

sail I he considered it a very hard case, and the parties
than left the court.
