BUSINESS. 01? 'IIIE 110U.SE.

The Earl of BESHOkOUG H. moved that a letter be
sent to each Peer on the first week of the ensuing session
of Parliament, requesting him to say when it would be
convenient to him to attend on Committees on opposed
13.0„. • . .

The Duke of WELLINGTON' congra,thiaiea4
House upon the mode in which :heir Lordship; Lad dis-
charged the laborious duties imiosed on them, end he
felt confident that they would always be rer:dy to dis-
charge the important trusts which devolved upon thcm.
twi!trit the, tttt>~tt area o thve !ords sho nevcr
came to !be Ilousti at ab, anti who should liaire ItttflPrtA
theirJssistance 9n the several private Committees which
had bten sitting during the latter part of the session.
He would therefore beg that the Nothe Earl would post-
pone the enitirn of; whieh he had given notice fir the
tirestill, -aliu when the pil(ipei: tdhe tar tit pti tle s!eiold he
glad to give whateter aid he could in order to rend-r it
efficient.. He trusted, therefore, that the Noble Earl
vould r gfratq from tlking• any steps on this subject, for
then he should gat/id dtittt the bminess of the
House would be performed usefully id pUblin end
satisfactorily to the House.

Lord MONTEAG LE thought that the present timont:t
of business in the House, and with that which had so
lately been to the House, that some regulation should be
Made by *hid hetttr regOttion mlght be adopted for
the passing of gills through the Legislature. The
standing orders had caused a considerable imp. diment
to the passage of Bills, but the difficulty was done away
with by the resolutions to ,thick the House had come to
carry on Bills the next session in the area state as they
were left at the close of this. But it should not con-
cealed that this was a great departure from the principles
of the e.inAtitution, and what was done in private Bills
wet equelly applicable to public Bills. One alteration,
hoe ever, might be effected with advantage. This was a
resolution that Bills for. canals, railways, docks, and
other affairs of a similar character, should be brought
into their Lordships' House in the first place. This
course would in no way aMet the privi+ges of the
other House, and the change would enati!e both !louses
to proceed at the same time, and thus that inju ticious
haste to which they were now compelled would be
avoided.—(lF ar, hear.)
Lord REDESDALE objected to the motion.
The Earl of BESBOROUGH said that, under the
circumstances, he should follow the suggestion of the
Noble Duke, and withdraw his motion.

RAILWAYS.

On the motion of the Earl of DALHOUSIE, several
verbal atnendownts and alterations mare made in the
-tending orders or the House relatipg to railways.
L9r.l REDESDALE then moved, on behalf of Lord
BROUGHAM, that a series of rteso!ution• be added to th,
standing orders, that Committees shall have the power
of awarding costs to parties who opposed the et.nstrue
Lion or railways.
Lord MON I'EAGLE thought the provision would be
unjust unl ss rendered mutual, so as to prevent vexatious
opposition. as well as pertinacious promtrion.
The motion was then negatived without a division.
The bills on thri table were then adva ced a stage, and
the House adj: tuned till Two to-morrow (this
day).

indicted, the one for forgery, and the other for procurin, and
uttering a bill of exchange for 3 knowing the same to be
forged, with intent to defraud William Coleman.

Mr. Waddnigtnn and Mr. Spooner wvre for the prosecution ;
Mr. Miller defended Pollard, and Mr. Willmore, Tanfield.

The facts were these :—Pollaril was a stilt dyer at Coventry,
Tanfield acting as his clerk and kccounta,.t. On the 21st of
February Pollard paid an account to Mr. Coleman, a manu-
facturer of Coventry, with an acceptance of 301., purporting to
he drawn hi Vuillard upon Mr. Leeson, accepted by that gentle-
man, and pa)ahle at Jones Loyd and C.., London. The bill
was endorsed by Coleman, and was paid into the Coventry and
Warwickshire bank, but upon becoming due was dishonoured.
Mr. Leeson upon being called stated that he. could nut
write; it followed of course the endorsement on the note was
not his. Being in a large way of business he authorised his
son-in-law, Jaycocks, to draw and accept bills en his account,
but he swore most distinctly he never authorised any one else
to accept or draw for him.
Mr. Coleman stated he received the acceptance in question,
and paid it into his banker's, but on becoming due it was dis-
honoured.
Mr. Jaycocks, the son•in-law, swore the words "James
Leeson" were net in his handwriting.
Several persons ware then called, who proved the body of
the bill, the signature " Pollard." the acceptance " James
Leeson," and the endorsement " William Coleman," were in
the handwriting of Tanfield. Before the bill became due
Pollard thought fit to quit the country. ,
The prisoners were found Guilty, and sentenced to be trans-
ported for seven years.

Hicawa Y ROBBERY.—John Henry Wrigley and Nicholas
Allison, two labouring men, were charged with the offence
of assault wi'h intent to rob. This case was tried yesterday
afternoon, but was not concluded until some time after the
post closed.
Mr. Grainger and Mr. Ramshay appeared to conduct the
prosecution.
The prosecutor, William Bushby, a man of about fifty-
four or lifty-Eve years of age, is a farmer and maltster,
residing at Prospect, a short distance from Cuckermouth,
and farms about IWO acres of land. He stated that on the
2d of September last he was at" Cockermouth" market, and
there, during the day, received 8(11. He received 601. from
John Carer, at the Woulpaek Jun. Relieved the prisoner
'Wrigley was present at the -time. Leit Cockermouth at
about eight in the evening to return hi;me, on foot, and he
would have about two miles and three quarters to go. On the
way he met one of his labourers who was coming to meet him,
bringing a mare for him to ride. He got upon the mare, and
that was at about three-quarters of a mile out of Cockermouth.
After proceeding some distance on the road, he saw the two
men, sullin,ed to be the prisoners at the bar. They came out
from under a hedge, and one had a gun. They again retired,
and the one having a gun gave it to the other, and then crept
along under the hedge fur aoout WO yards a-head of him (th.
prosecutor). This induced him.to put the mare ;Ito a canter.
On coming towards the Spot where 'Le nearer man was, that
Man came out into the road with the gun, at a few paces be-
fore tt e mare's Mad, ar.d endeavuorest to stop her, say.ng,
" Deliver up bout money, 'or we'll shoot you Witness said,
" les all non-ense, I've left it at the bank." He then put the
mare into a gallop, and went towards the other man a-head.
That mr.n was the prisoner Wrigley. Had known him before,
and lie is called "Proofer,". from being a hat-proofer.
Wrigley then came running in a drips rate way, sloping
towards witness, seizirg the mare's bridle with the lef;
hand, and grappling with the rght to get witness off
He told with, as to stedvs r up his money, or t at he
should have his brains !mien out. The mare swerved to
one side, and went against a stone wall. Wrigley had
hold of the bristle, but witn ss struck his hail with a
stick, and oisengaged the baud of Ws %ley, at the same time
caliing out to him, •• Clear the road, you beggar." Wrigky
appeared to fad, and witness then gatlops d on home as fast as
he could. •At about eighty or ninety yarns fr.,m where he had
lest the first man these was a Attu fired. Witness did nut know
Allison that night at all. He told the 'amity at home whet
had happened, and deser.hed to theta •• Prooter" as one of the
men. A servant noticed that his hand was bleeding , it was
found to be scratched; east the next morning, on going to the
spot where he had the struggle overnight, he found there was a
brier, by which the scratch, as he supp set, was made. His
brother Sc; s en a visit to him some days after, and he showed
the spot to him, and had a conversation with him respecting
the occurrence. Did not go before toe magistrates till the 23,i
of last June; but on the lain 01 June was with Mr. Ho-kits,
the magistrate, about this matter. On the 4th of June lest
witness was at Cockermouth cattle-marke , and went with Mr.
Thomas Bird to the Ship Inn. While there, at about three
o'clock in the afternoon, the prisoner Allison came io. Alli-
son asked witness it he knew him. Witness said he did not.
Allison then went on to say that he had once saved his
(witness's) life, and explained how. He said that en the
night referred to he and Wrigley were
_out poaching; that
they saw hini (witness) coming on the road from Cocker-
mouth, when Wrigley said that he ( witness) had got 10(11. ;
he had seen him get the 1001 that day ; and that if he (Alli-
son) would take the gun and shoot witness, they would divide
the motley betwixt them. " But," said Allison, " 1 rued-
-1 thought that Wrigley was that sort of man that if anything
was said about it be would inform, bud I would either be hung
or transported " Allison added, " Le's a bad 'un ; we got nine
hares that night, and he sold 'em, and told me he never got
paid." Allison came into the house a second time that day,
and repeated the same story, except that in one ease he said it
happens d six months ago and in the other nine months. Wit-
ness was at Cockermouth fair on the 18th of June, and saw
Wrigley in the street. Went before Mr. Hoskins, the magis-
trate, on the 19th or 20th.
.In answer to the question from Mr. Ramshay, why he had
not told sooner, the pro:ecutor slid that " but one of the men
was known by him; that he thought it would be a great deal
of trouble to prosecute, and that he was much excited at see-
ing a man remaining in the town who had attempted his life,
and hired another man to shoot him."

• Mr. Wilkins appeared Jur the defence of Wrigley, and .Ir.
James for Allison.

The prosecutor, upon crovs.examination, admitted that he
had at tirst told Mr. Hu,kais that the occurrence was on the
23d of December ; but he found, aft,r lookii g at his bank-
book, and a memorandum there, that he was wrung.
Other witnesses were call, d, who corroborated the evidence
of Mr. Busbby in certain particulars.
John Coulthard, gamekeeper to General Wyndham, had seen
the prosecutor on the road on the night in question, and saw
two labouring men near the same spit.
John Rubinson, landlord of the ono at Cockermouth, heard
the talc told by Allison as above repeated, aria this witness was
confirmeo again by Mr., litmus Bird, the prosecutor's compa.
niou upon the occasion.
Thomas Barton, a blacksmith, said that Allison had come to
witness on toe 7th of last September, and reiated a similar tate
to him. lie came to get a lock mewled. ' A memorandum of
the lock being mended was written in a ht,ok (now pit duce,d).
Thete was tile uate ut the 7th of Sepetober apparent; but so
written, that it was contended for the defence that there had
been au interpolation in making the memorandum. This wit-
ness said he hart not merlin/nen the matter cat iier, because he
