PAROCHIAL SETTLEMENT BILL.
Extracts from a pamphlet communicated to us by
order of the Committee appointed by the Town
Council of Leicester, to consider and report upon Sir
James Graham's " Parochial Settlement Bill :
CONSEQUENCES OF THE PROPOSED ALTERATION OF
THE LAW OF SETTLEMENT.
" The consequence will be, that persons who have
gained settlements in this or any other place by ap-
prenticeship, occupation, ownership of property, or
any other means than those mentioned, and who may
from their youth have been living here as acknow-
ledged parishioners, will, by this ex post facto law,
be deprived of their present settlements, and be liable
to be removed to the place of their birth, or, if that
cannot be ascertained, to the parental settlement as
explained by the new law. This sudden and violent
disturbance and destruction of existing laws, will ne-
cessarily occasion an examination into the settlement
of all the chargeable poor throughout England,
amounting to 1,366,314 during the past year; and it
will be impossible to discover the birth or parental
settlements of many thousand families without sub-
jecting parishes to great expense, not only in ascer-
taining the facts, but in contesting them in courts
of justice."
CASE OF THE BOROUGH OF LEICESTER UNDER TIIE
PROPOSED ALTERATION.
" It appears, by the accounts kept of the distribu-
tion of the subscription fund raised in this borough
in the year 1840, that in the fourth week of the dis-
tribution of it, there were 1,313 families and 4,442
individuals recipients, of whom 439 families are re-
turned PIS bolos ring t' parii:c3 Lclue34,:, and °74
families to out-parishes. The effect of the proposed
law will be to relieve the Leicester parishes from the
settlement of all those now belonging to parishes in
Leicester, who were not born in the town ; but when
it is considered that there were 874 families who be-
longed to out-parishes, and that a large number of
the adults, and nearly the whole of their children,
have been born within the town ; and, further, that
hundreds of persons who are now residing and settled
elsewhere by apprenticeship, &c., will become re-
movable to Leicester as the place of their birth-settle-
ment—an alarming increase will be given to the
locally-settled pauper population. It is probable that,
by the operation of this law, four-fifths or five-
sixths of the poor now belonging to out-parishes will
become settled parishioners of this borough.
" This is not, however, the only part of the bill
calculated to prove severely prejudicial to this bo-
rough, and all other towns extensively engaged in
manufactures."
EFFECT OF THE FIVE YEARS' RESIDENCE IRREMOV-
ABILITY CLAUSE.
" The clause which has been termed the quin-
quennial-industrial-resident-maintenance-irremovabi-
lity-clause,' will, in the course of a few years, render
a large number of those who are settled elsewhere by
birth, irremovable to their place of settlement, and
therefore entitle them to relief, and practically give
them settlement in Leicester and other large towns.
The clause referred to is to this effect That no
Person who has resided the five years last preceding
in any parish, and has ordinarily maintained himself
in or near thereto as a labourer, artificer, mechanic,
servant, or tradesman, and has not been convicted of
felony or misdemeanour, end has not during such
five years been removed under any order of justices,
shall be liable to be removed; but that no residence in
any prison, barrack, lunatic asylum, or public hospi-
tal, or while receiving relief, shall be considered either
as an interruption or as a portion of such five years.'
This provision is full of obscurities, and is alone suffi-
cient to create more controversy and litigation than
any passage containing the same number of words
has ever yet occasioned. It is not stated what time
the five years are to precede ; the words ordinarily
maintained himself' are equally indefinite ; nor is
there any explanation of the distance which is to be
considered as coming within the meaning of the
words near' the parish; nor is it very easy to com-
prehend what is intended by saying that no residence
in a prison, &c., or while receiving relief, shall be
considered either as an interruption, or as a portion of
such five years.' The obvious tendency and neces-
sary effect of this clause will be, to transfer the burden
of maintaining nearly all the poor who are not em-
ployed as labourers in husbandry, or in some degree
connected with the culture of the soil, to the great
marts for labour—the commercial and manufacturing
towns of Manchester, Liverpool, Leeds, Bradford,
Bolton, Nottingham, Leicester, &c., and also to bring
a proportionate increase in the number of irremovable
poor to the large manufacturing villages, as Oadby,
Wigston, Thurmaston, Sileby, Sheepshead, &c. ;
whilst it cannot be 'doubted that--in, the smaller
parishes, particularly where the property' is in the
hands of a few individuals, every practicable means
will be resorted to by pulling down cottages, &c., for
the purpose of preventing the poor becoming irre-
movable by the operation of this clause; and it may
not unreasonably
will be rendered to their out-poor, so as to enable them
be supposed, that private assistance
to maintain themselves in the large towns for the
period prescribed by this Act for rendering them irre-
movable."

r CUSTOM-HOUSE, LONDON, Nov. 13, 1844.
—Whereas certain pawns, under the names of REUBEN
ROY and CO., have published certain handbills, in which they
state that they, in conjunction with the Custom-house authorities,
continue to sell for a short time longer on the premises, No. 130,
Regent-street, certain goods which in their handbills they describe
as contraband, confiscated, and bankrupts' property, being an ac-
cumulation of stock from the numerous detailed delinquencies and
contraband speculations of the wholesale and retail drapers, recently
productive of such intense excitement and secret investigation
throughout the city of London is to give NOTICE that
the said persons are totally unknown to any one in authority at the
Custom-house, and that they have no official authority whatever
from any person at the Custont.house to sell the said goods, or any
of them, and that goods seised under the law in the Customs are
never sold except at the Custom.house Sale Rooms.
By order of the Commissioners,
C. A. SCOVELL, Secretary.

REGULATION OF DISTILLERIES.
Some proceedings lately instituted by the Board of
Excise, and still in operation, against Messrs. Smith, the
extensive distillers and rectifiers, of Mile-end, White-
chapel, are exciting a! painful degree of interest in the
wine and spirit trade, the more particularly as the cir-
cumstances out of which those proceedings have arisen
are very imperfectly known, if at all. There are ru-
mours in abundance afloat on the subject, which natu-
rally assume that there is some very serious charge
against a firm, whose business is so extensive that their'
payments to Government, for the duty on spirits, are
not less than at the rate of 1,0002 daily ; and that this
charge must rest upon something like legal evidence to
justify a course which will appear to all, but especially
to those who have had no experience in the working of
the Excise laws, extremely severe and harsh. When
these rumours, however, come to deal with facts, they
betray the greatest ignorance of the real state of the
case ; and it becomes, therefore, of unusual importance
to put the affair in an authentic shape, so far as it is
'accessible at the present moment.
By the Act 57th Geo. IV., cap. 123, for the regulation
of distilleries, &c., it was enacted that the business of a
distiller and rectifier should not be carried on upon the
same premises; but, as there existed at the time when this
law:was made some establishments, of which this now
conducted by Messrs. Smith was one, uniting both ope-
rations within the same walls, an exception was created
in their favour, and a few others :similarly situated,
with only this proviso--that the communication between
the distillery and the rectifying houses should only take
place by means of carts and waggons, in an open man-
ner. By a subsequent Act, the 6th George IV., cap. 6,
a modification of the clause above described took place.
and, instead of the expression " shall only take place,"
the words " can only take place," were introduced.
This Act is dated in 1825 (nearly twenty. years ago),
but it is only just discovered that there is an arrange-
ment on the premises on which both the operations of
Messrs. Smith are situated for conveying water from one
department to the other, and which brings them within
the range of the altered clause in the Act of 1825. On
Saturday, the 2d inst., they receil ed notice, not in writ-
ing, but verbally, from the Excise-officer on the premises,
that their works must be stopped, which was of course
complied with, as no offer from them to give any se-
curity that might be required would be listened to.
Early in the week following the water communication
between the two establishments was adverted to by the
officers of Excise, and notice given that the experiment
must now be made whether by the same medium spirits
could not also be conveyed. To this no opposition was
made, and it was ascertained, what there could
be no doubt of under the circumstances, that the
hydraulic principle would be just as available
for one liquid as for the other ; but the spirits so
conveyed were, as it is stated, so much deteriorated
and mixed with water as to become unfit for use with-
out undergoing again the process of distillation. Under
this experiment, therefore, property of considerable
value was wasted. That it must have been considered
by those who made it conclusive against the Messrs.
Smith as a breach of the law of 1825, must be assumed
from the continuance of the restriction from carrying on
their business, which still remains in force. Under that
restriction about sixty of the workmen were discharged
on Saturday last, and the same number will be dismissed
at the end of the present week. The premises, from the
disappearance of the activity manifested there when at
full work, have a mournful appearance, and are further
disfigured by the laying open of the whole pavement be-
neath which the pipes passed for conveying water from
the distilling to the rectifying house.
This is, we believe, all that is known, unless, perhaps,
to the Commissioners of Excise ; but Messrs. Smith
have addressed a memorial to the Treasury on the sub-
ject, an answer to which is daily expected, and which
may throw some further light upon the matter.
The question arising out of this affair is one whicb
will be viewed with much interest by the Scotch and
Irish distillers, who complain that the indulgence granted
to the existing large English distilleries by the Act of
1817, in allowing both operations still to be carried on
within the same walls, was injurious to them, and shut
them out from the competition with their rivals in this
country. Under Lord Liverpool's Administration 'a
commission of inquiry was instituted, and an Act passed,
4 George IV., cap. 94, extending at first only to Scot-
land and Ireland, but which had for its object the con-
solidation and assimilation of the laws for regulating
distilleries, and the trade in spirits throughout the
United Kingdom. The provisions of the Act last re-
ferred to were found to be so well adapted for the pur-
pose in view, that it was proposed by the Government
to extend the same regulations to the United Kingdom,
but in this they did not succeed. There can be no
doubt that a pretext will be afforded by what has just
occurred for a revival of this discussion by the Scotch
and Irish distillers.—Times.

THE SIXTH MURDER.—On Saturday last, about the
hour of four o'clock, as a man, named Pat M`Gennissy,
was on his return home from the Quarter Sessions of
Thurles, where he had been obtaining a decree for the
small sum of 305., and when near the demesne of Brittas,
two men jumped out from over a ditch and pulled him off
the car on which he sat, and on which three men were
also travelling, but who never interfered to save the un-
fortunate man. The two murderers beat their victim
with stones about the head to such an extent, that he
died from the effects on Sunday evening last. A man,
named Tracey, against whom M'Gennissy had obtained
the decree, has been arrested, and is in custody.
THE SEVENTH MURDER.—On the evening of Sunday,
the 20th of October last, three men, named James Molo-
ney, Patrick Carr, and William Carr, went into the
house of Denis Bryan, a publican, at Kilconinton, and
after drinking some beverage, which had the effect of
making them a little tipsy, they had some dispute, and
after leaving the house a quarrel ensued, and the two
Carrs went into the dwelling of another brother,
named John Carr, out of which they came, and after
shouting outside the door of the houso where Moloney
went in fur protection, Moloney jumped out of the win-
dow, and was seized by John and Wm. Carr, and was
beaten with stones on the left side of the head by Paddy
Carr, which fractured his skull, and of which he died on
Saturday night last, the 9th of November. An inquest
was held by James Carroll, Esq., coroner, and a verdict
returned, " That said James Moloney recei►ed a mortal
wound on the 20th October, inflicted by some person or
persons unknown, and of which he died."
THE EIGHTH MURDER.—An inquest was held in
Thurles on Saturday last, by Michael Cormack, Esq.,
coroner, on the body of a man named Thomas Ryan,
who had been assaulted by Patrick Ryan, on the 2d of
October last, in that town. The jury brought in a ver-
dict to the following effect :—" That the deceased, Thos.
Ryan, came by his death in consequence of a blow from a
stone on the head, inflicted by Patrick Ryan, on the 2d
of October last, of which lie died on Friday, the Bth of
Nov. inst." The Coroner's warrant was then issued, and
Patrick Ryan has been arrested.

UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE.
OXFORD, Nov. 14.—This morning, Mr. Henry Nowell
Barton, scholar of Pembroke College, was elected a
Fellow on the foundation of Thomas Tesdale, Esq.
At a congregation holden this morning, the following
degrees were conferred:—

EXTRAORDINARY CASE.
Yesterday a lengthened investigation took place before
Mr. W. Carter, touching the death of John Thomas.
The body was lying at Kent-street, Borough, in one
of the most horrible dens that ever met the human eye.
The room was about eight feet square, in the centre of
which stood an old counter, underneath was an old flock
bed, and a parcel of dirty rags, covered with filth and
vermin, which formed the deceased's bed-place. There '
were neither table nor chairs, nor any signs of food.
The body of the deceased was lying on the floor, and
presented a most wretchedly emaciated appearance. The
walls, which were bare, were covered with cobwebs,
and the room had evidently not been cleaned out for
some years.
The CORONER said, that he had seen a great many
strange places, but had never met with such a horrible
one before.

Ann Nash stated, that she had been living with de-
ceased twelve years, and was not married to him, al-
though she went as his wife. He was a shoemaker by
trade, but had not done any work for some years. He
always pleaded the greatest poverty to witness, although
she know him to be in the receipt of 15s. per week. She
was in the habit of earning a shilling or two now and
then, but ho always took it from her, and sometimes
spent it in buying food. She had had one child by him,
which was ten years old. They were often left two and
three days together without food or firing. He would
never allow her to apply to the parish for assistance, as he
was fearful of its coming to the ears of his relatives, who,
she had heard, were highly respectable, and lived
somewhere in the city, near Newgatc-market. He was
of the most filthy habits, and would never permit her to
wash any of his clothes. He had formerly had plenty
of good wearing apparel sent to him by some friend,
which he had pawned in the Dover-road. He was in
the habit of going out every Monday morning to receive
his money, but she had never received a single farthing
from him during the twelve years she had been with
him. On Wednesday week he went out with an old
great coat en, but he returned without it in about an
hour afterwards. She asked him for some money, as
they had not tasted food for two days. He said that he
had not got any. Shortly afterwards he took some money
from his pocket, and sent for half a quartern loaf, which
lie shared among them. In the evening of the same day
he was seized with pains in the groin. He got into bed
with his clothes on (as he had been in the habit of doing
for years), and remained in his bed until Friday last,
when he appeared so bad, that witness called in Mr.
Hankin, surgeon, of Dover-road, who attended with
promptitude, and ordered a mustard poultice and leeches
to be applied immediately. He then gave her 6d. to
purchase them. She went out, and returned in a few
minutes with the articles, and on entering the room she
found 4s. lying on the corner of the table or counter.
She tried to rouse him ; but Ise had expired, and on
looking in the bed she found four more half-crowns and
a shilling, which must have been his last payment, on
the Monday previous to his death. She had repeatedly
begged of him to have a doctor, but he always said,
that "if she brought a doctor into the house, he would
kick him out again."

A Juror observed, that it was a most extraordinary
case; he could hardly believe that a woman could live
in such a state of horrible filth and destitution for so
long a period as twelve years.
The CORONER—Do you think the deceased has died
from want ? Witness—l do, Sir. Ile had the means
of getting food, but he would not hare it. I and my
child have been without food for some days together.
He would occasionally pull out money, when he found
that I had none.

The CORONER—You must be a very strange woman
indeed, to have lived with a man so long in such a mi-
serable state. I never met with a case before to equal it.
Mr. Hankin, the surgeon, said he had found deceased
labouring under strangulated hernia ; inflammation had
taken place, and mortification ensued, which was the
cause of death.
The jury found a verdict in accordance with this evi-
denoe.

ACCIDENT ON THE SOUTII-WESTERN RAILWAY.-

GREAT TROTTING MATCH FOR ONE HUNDRED
Pousns.—Tho long-pending match between Mr.Vander-
stein's (of Whitechapel) grey gelding and Mr. M'Grath's
(of Lambeth) bay cob, to trot two miles in harness, camp
off on Tuesday on Sunbury-common, and, from the
amount of stakes, the heavy betting on the race, and the
great celebrity of the horses, an unusual degree of in-
terest was created in the sporting arena. The spectators
might be fairly computed at 1,500. The distance being
measured, the horses, harnessed to light match-carts,
were driven to the starting mark, and at the signal they
went away at great spt-ed, and accomplished half a mile
in eighty-eight seconds. At this stage the bay horse
broke out into a gallop, and was suddenly pulled in (in
compliance with the usual rules of trotting), and the
great cavalcade of horsemen and vehicles came violently
upon it, and it was thrown down, the chaise overturned,
and the driver seriously injured, and, being unable to
proceed further, the grey horse completed the distance
and won the stakes, the spectators being much mortified
at so unsatisfactory a result. The winning pony is of
American breed, and performed the two miles in six
minutes.

About twenty-five minutes past ten o'clock on Wednes-
day night, as the goods down train, which left the Nine
Elms terminus at ten o'clock, had just passed the Merton
Gate, the train was suddenly thrown off the rails
by coming into contact with something upon the line.
Fortunately no injury occurred to any person ; but upon
examining what was the cause of the occurrence, two
bullocks were found :with their heads severed from their
bodies, and several others were lying upon the rails so
dreadfully mangled, that it was found necessary for them
to be killed. It was found that the beasts had broken
through the hedge of an adjoining field, and strayed on
to the line. ISeveral police-constables of the V division
lent their assistance, and a special engine and other as-
sistance having arrived from the Nine Elms terminus,
the train was shortly after replaced, and it proceeded on
to its destination. _

TIIE ATTORNEY- GENERAL v. GTBBS.—We are
enabled to state, that in this suit there is no likelihood
of a report being made. The suit was originally re-
ferred to Sir George Rose, but from the alleged anxiety
to bring the cause to a conclusion, an order was obtained
to refer it to the vacation Master, who has done nothing,
and sent it back to Sir George Rose.
