ANTI-LEAGUE MEETING AT HADDINGTON.— Ott
Friday last a meeting, called by Lord Elcho, as Vice-Lieutenant of
the county, was held at Heddington, for the purpose of consider.
ing what course could be adopted for securing due protection to
agriculture. The meeting, which was numerously attended, was
composed of the noblemen, gentlemen, commissioners of supply,
justices of the peace, and tenant farmers of the county of Melding.
ton, and amongst those present were Lord Elcho, the Earl of Lau-
derdale, Sir T. B. Hepburn, M.P , Sir D. Kinloch, Major. General
Sir R. Houston, Mr. J. M. Balfour, M.P., the Hon. F. Charteris,
M.P., &c. Lord Elcho was called to the chair, when the following
resolutions were agreed to :—" That it is with deep regret
and alarm that we have seen the attempts which are making
all over the kingdom, by means of false statements, and under
the pretence of advocating the principles of free trade, to de-
lude the working classes, and to prejudice them against the
best institutions of the country. That agriculture is the great
leading interest of the country, and that unless it prospers,
all other interests must languish. That to enable agriculture to
prosper protection is absolutely necessary, and that in the exist.
ing state of things in this country the protection afforded by an
adherence to the present corn-laws, though too low in amount,
ought not to be disturbed. That the argticultural interests have
already made greater sacrifices than any other class of the commie.
nity, and that the time has now arrived when their interests and
the interests of the labouring classes, imperatively call for an effort
being made to retain that protection which they now possess. That
to effect this object, it is the very duty of the agriculturists of
this county, and of every county in the United Kingdom, with-
out loss of time, to stand forward and to petition Parliament not
to entertain any proposition which has for its object an alteration of
the present corn.laws. That this meeting have seen wsth satin.
faction the organization of an Agricultural Protection Society in
Essex, and they recommend the adoption of a similar proceeding
in this county, and that a Committee be appointed for the purpose
of carrying the above recommendation into effect." A Committee
was then appointed to carry the last resolution into effect, and the
meeting separated.
BRENTWOOD SESSIONS.—On Saturday afternoon,
David Kempton, a determined, and lll.looking, desperate fellow,
was brought up from Ilford gaol, in the custody of Mr. Coulson,
Superintendent of the rural police, to the office of Mr. Wall, soli.
citor, at Brentwood, and placed before J. H. Lewis, Esq., one of
the county Magistrates, on a charge of poaching on the demesne
and preserves of Edwin James, Esq., at Herongate, and with also
having wounded and desperately assaulted the keeper of that gen.
tleman. The facts of the case are known to the public. The
prisoner, in his defence, in a sullen tone, denied all knowledge of
the affair, and said he was not near the place. The Magistrates
