THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, JULY 9, 1644.

r liver it to the sheriff, and by the 24th.section of the
same Act, the sheriff, within ten days after the
jurors' book had been delivered to him, was to Make out
a special jury list, arranging the persons according to
their rank, property, and so on
.; and that the jury list
so made nut by the sheriff was to be the special jury list
for that year; and there was a special rule in the 11th
section, by which the sheriff was not to return the names
of any persons not contained in the jurors' book
for the then current year, and by the 25th
section, where an order was made! for a special jury,
there was a provision that the officer of the court, who
was to strike the special jury, was to appoint a time and
place fit that purpose ; and the statute then provided
that the sheriff and under-sheriff should be required to
bring on that day their special jury-list. Now there
was no pretence whatever that the provisions he had
mentioned had not been properly complied with, and
there was nothing to show that the twenty-four jurors
had not been properly selected. In this case there was
no default, partiality, or misconduct attributed to the
sheriff, and he could not believe that their
Lordships would uphold the novel doctrine, that
a challenge to the array was to be considered
as good when there was no default, partiality, or mis-
conduct attributed to the sheriff. The law, as laid clown
in Coke upon Lyttleton, 156 B, is clear and precise upon
this subject, and in the same work, 158 A, it was stated that
if the array was quashed process should be awarded
to the coroners, and if the coroners were indifferent then
to persons appointed by the court. This proved clearly
that the cause of challenging the array must be some
fault in the sheriff, and he would ask the Learned
Counsel on the other side what would be the nature of
the award which he would have entered upon the record
if the panel were quashed withont, fault of the sheriff,
and to whom under those circumstances they would have
it directed ? This was not an unfair test, for if they set
aside the panel returned by the sheriff, the law pointed
out the offieer to whom they were to apply. But in this case
everything that had been done by the sheriff had been
right and correct throughout; and he would ask what
award was to be entered on the record? Were they to
call on the coroners to return a new panel? Why, they
would return the same, and there would be the challenge
to the array again. The statute expressly stated that
the sheriff was to return no name except he found it in
the jurors' book. How was the sheriff then to take
upon himself to say, of his own mere motion, that al-
though hp had a jurors' book in his possession,
returned to him by the proper officer, ho
would cancel the jurors' list of 1844, without any
order of the court? Why they were calling
.upon the
sheriff to violate the Act of Parliament. lie must be
justified, when he had no jurors' book for
1844, to go to the one for 1843. But how
could he take upon himself to decide that the
jurors' book de facto for 1844, was not the juror's' book
de jure in the case of the Queen v. O'Connell, although
it might be in other cases? Ina case of this kind, if
there were any fraud in the jurors' book for 1844, or any
ground for saying so, it was a nullity in point of law.
The defendants should make application to the Queen's
Bench, founded on a proper case, and supported by
proper affidavits, and no doubt the court would inter-
fere. He could not admit that the court would inter-
fere in every case ; but, where it saw a proper case, it
would 'interfere. He submitted that the chal-
lenge was bad ; but if it were capable of being
entertained, and they wished to establish the invalidity
of the jurors' book, they were bound to raise distinct
issues, so as to raise the question of validity or inva-
lidity. He submitted, as in the present case, there
was no pretext for saying there had been
any fault on the part of the sheriff; there was
no ground for challenging the array. The Eight
Honourable and Learned Gentleman then re-
ferred to the provisions of the Jurors' Act, and the
mode in which the Act prescribed that the general list
was to "be made out. The challenge of Mr. O'Connell
had admitted that the provisions of this Act had been
complied with, except in one particular, namely, that
the names were not arranged according to rank and pro-
perty, and that a list containing all the names arranged
according to rank and property was not delivered to
the clerk of the peace. Would their Lordships hold thit
such an averment could be supported if even
there was a single name placed out of its proper order?
He did not believe their Lordships would hold any such
thing. The challenger went on to state that " a paper
writing, purporting to be a general list, had been
illegally and fraudulently made out by some person or
persons unknown." That was the averment in the chal-
lenge of Mr. O'Connell, but there was a slight variation
in the challenges of the other traversers which had been
alluded to by his Learned Friend the Attorney-General.
[The Learned Gentleman was proceeding when our
report left.]

MPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

(THIS DAY.)

HOUSE OF COMMONS.

The SPEAKER took the Chair at Twelve o'clock.

The Colonial Postage Bill, the Three•ancd-a-Half per
Cents. Exemption Bill, and the Assessed Taxes Compen-
sation Bill, passed through Committee and were reported.
The Militia Ballot Suspension Bill, the Stock in
Trade Bill, and the Turnpike Acts Continuance Bill,
were severally read a third time and passed.
VAGRANTS' REMOVAL BILL.

On the motion that the report on this Bill be brought
up,

Colonel RAWDON said that, under the operations of
this Bill, many cases of hardship would occur. He
thought it would be a hardship for an Irishman, who bad
lived in this country for' a number of years, and had con-
tributed to the prosperity of the country, to be sent to
Ireland in case of his becoming destitute.
Sir J. GRAHAM said this Bill was merely to con-
tinue for one year more an annual Bill. With respect
to the case of hardship instanced by the Hon. and Gal-
lant Gentleman, he could only say that such hardship
might occur to an Englishman residing in Ireland. The
subject, however, would be taken into consideration Eby
the Government next year.
After a few words from Mr. Palmer, Col. Rawdon,
and Mr. Brotherton; the report was brought up.
SUDBURY DISFRANCHISEMENT BILL.

The SOLICITOR-GENERAL moved the second
reading of this Bill.
The Bill having been read a second time,
Mr. BLACKSTONE moved that counsel be heard at
the bar against the Bill.
Mr. M. D. Hill, Q.C., was then called in, and addressed
the House on the part of the mayor, aldermen, and bur-
gesses of Sudbury against the passing of this Bill.
He contended that the present Bill wholly differed in
principle from any former Disfranchisement. Bill. It
proceeded on the assumption that certain facts which were
set forth in a report of some Commission were true, and
acting upon this assumption, and without any examina-
tion of witnesses, it was intended to punish a whole con-
stituency for offences which were charged upon a portion
only of that constituency. This, he contended, was a
case of peculiar hardship and injustice.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said that, in his opi-
nion, the Learned Counsel who had just addressed the
House had failed to make out a case to justify the House
in refusing the second reading of this Bill. He (the So-
licitor-General) freely admitted that the extreme step of
disfranchisement should not be taken but upon very
strong and just grounds. But it had been clearly and
indisputably proved that a majority of the electors
of the borough Of Sudbury were tainted by corrup-
tion. He admitted that if this strong fact had not
been made clear and indisputable, he would not be enti-
tled to claim the support of the House to the second
reading of the Bill. He (the Solicitor-General) had at
that time nothing whatever to do with other cases, how-
ever analogous. He bad singly to do with Sudbury and
its corruption, as those corruptions had been proved.
And if the Bill ;passed, as he trusted it would—as he
was sure it would—it would undoubtedly act as a warn-
ing and an example to other places ; and this was oae of
the greatest advantages that might be expected to accrue
from the Bill. It should be, particularly impressed upon
the recollection of the House, that the Bill
which he now proposed was the third Bill for the dis-
franchisement of this borough that had been brought
before that House. Two other Bills of disfranchisement
had upon ptevious occasions passed that House, and been
sent thence to the House of Lords, where unfortunately,
from one circumstance or another, they had been stopped
in their course. And yet, after all these warnings, there
had at the very last election been practices of the most
gross and profligate character—thus showing the pre-
determination of the voters in this borough that their
elections should be carried by bribery and
bribery alone. No less than three thousand pounds
in gold had been received by a clerk and agent
of Mr. Dyce Sombre, one only of the candidates, and the
whole of this large sum had been expended in the most
disgusting mode of bribery, by parties utter strangers to
the borough. And yet the just and legitimate expenses
attendant upon the election—such as the printers', . and
other necessary bills, were to this day absolutely un-
settled. There was a system in Sudbury of the most
atrocious character, which it was well-known had ex-
isted for years and years, and which was this :—When
an election was likely to take place every publican
opened his house to the world at large. At each
house a large debt ,was owing for expenses incurred
at the last previous election, and which debts always
remained unpaid from the close of that election to the
time when another was about to take place. These debts
were called "fixtures," and they were paid thus. When
candidates came down at an election time to offer them-
selves as candidates for Sudbury ; the lira thing they
were presented with was a statement of these " fixtures.
If the candidates paid these "fixtures" or debts .due
from the last election, then they' were accepted
as candidates, and stood a fair chance of being
returned ; but if they declined to pay off these
" fixtures," -then all they had to do was to pack up
and be off, for no chance would they have of ever repre-
senting the borough of Sudbury.—(Laughter.) Such
was the system—the disgusting system—which prevailed
in this notorious and profligate borough. All he asked
the House now to do, was to proceed on the evidence in
the book no* upon the table, and at once to disfranchise
a place in which there was no nucleus for honesty and
public virtue. Where the franchise thus taken
from Sudbury was to be extended to, was
not then the question before the House.
That was a matter for after consideration ; and
therefore, confining himself to the only point strictly
before them, he thought Hon. Members could, upon the
evidence nowt before them, have no difficulty in agiNeing
to the second reading of the Bill for 'at once disfran-
chising the borough of Sudbury.
Mr. BLACKSTONE felt that if he attempted to op-
pose this Bill he would not be successful, as the Bill had
been taken up by one of the law officers of the Crown,
and came with the whole- support of the Government.
Ile did not, therefore feel called upon to make any op-
position to the Bill, although he did not believe that the
whole of the electors of Sudbury were corrupt.
On the motion for the Committee on this Bill he
amid move, as an instruction to the Committee,

that the right of voting should be extended to.the hun-
dred in which Sudbury was now situated, which had
been the course pursued by the Government with respect
to Bassitlaw, that place having been extended to the
hundred of East Retford. If he should be unsuccessful
in this, he should take the sense of the House upon the
principle of the Bill on the, third reading.
Mr. TUFFNEL expressed his satisfaction at this
having been introduced. He trusted that the Govern-
ment would, on every occasion, do all they could to
put down bribery and corruption. He congratulated the
Government upon their having introduced the Bill, and
he sincerely hoped that it would be successful.
Mr. DILLON BROWNE thought there were other
boroughs in the country, besides Sudbury, which ought
to be disfranchised on account of bribery and corruption.
Mr. W. WYNN thought the House ought to be con-
sistent with itself, and proceed at once to pass this. Bill.
He thought the evidence which had been adduced, with
respect to this Bill was amply sufficient for the House to
act in legislating on the subject. He looked upon this
Bill not merely as a penal but a remedial measure. He
thought that no borough had ever exhibited such a sys-
tem of bribery and corruption as that which had been
shown in the borough of Sudbury.
The Bill was then read a second time. and ordered to
be committed to-morrow at twelve o'clock.
The House then adjourned until Five o'clock.

The commercial letters received yesterday from the Bra-
zils are not of a satisfactory character. Much disappoint-
ment continued to be expressed at the want of a greater de-
gree of liberality than has been shown towards Brazilian
produce admitted to British ports. A most extended
trade would be carried on in our manufactures were but the
imposts upon sugar reduced a trifle only.
The attempt to introduce into the London market Aus-
tralian salted meats appears to have met with very indifferent
success up to the present tittle, and there are some who look
upon it' as a decided failUre, and augur no better re-
-suit for- the future. We think, however, in reference
to the latter, that whatever may have been the
case hitherto, too hasty a decision should not be
come to as regards what may be accomplished hereafter,
since it is a matter of considerable importance, and in which
perseverance would be highly laudable.. We pronounce no
decided opinion, however, upon the subject, and the heat of
the climate may be an objection ; but the following informa-
tion from Mr. Williams, the American Consul, at Sydney, to
the. Editor of the Herald published there, seems very favour-
able
"Knowing the solicitude which is felt by this community
to learn the result of the salting experiments of the last
season' I have much pleasure in stating, that Capton Tabor,
of the American whale ship TuscOoosa, who supplied his
ship with colonial salted beef, on his last visit to this
port, has informed me that, he never had beef on
board his ship which gave himself and his crew better
satisfaction than that from Sydney. The beef in question was
packed with Liverpool salt exclusively, and he thinks might
not keep so well for a long voyage as if St. Übe's salt had
been used." The editors of the Sydney Herald say in reference
to this communication :—" This beef we understand was
cured so far north as the Richmond River. We have also
been informed that the colonial beef shipped on board her
Majesty's ship North Star was so much approved of, that on
her last visit to Sydney she landed all her Deptford cured
meat, and filled up with colonial."
As respects railway property the circular of a Manchester
firm, received to-dav, has the following remarks :—" The
Government and other dividends coming upon the market
along with rents, and the continued difficulty of employing
money beneficially, will work favourably for railway adven-
tures ; moreover, the improving traffic for the last half year,
in comparison with 'the same period of the former, cannot
fail to have influence, especially under the increasing abun-
dance of capital, unrequired, as it is, for other purposes at
the present time."
The Funds are steady to-day. The dividends are now in
course of payment at the Bank, but parties receiving on the
first day, except bankers and trustees, are not generally those
who have a surplus for re-investment. Consols for Money

bags 86 casks Mauritius, 3,913 bags Manilla, 275 baskets
Java, and 901 boxes Havannah and Cuba. The Barbadoes
went off very heavily, but mostly sold at a further decline of
Is, viz., mid to fine yellow, at 58s 6d to 65s 6d. Nearly all the
Mauritius found buyers at 55s to 60s for low to very good

instances a reduction of fully Is. The Manilla and Java sold,
the former at 13s 6d to 16s for. very low soft to mid dry brown,
188 6d for mid greyish yellow ditto, and the latter at 17s 6d to
23s for mid brown to low strong white, all of which are
about previous prices. All the Havannah were also disposed
of (excepting 160 boxes low to mid white Cuba, which were
taken in at 27s 6d to 30s 6d, being above the value )at 17s to
20s 6d for good brown to fine greyish yellow, which are likewise
about former rates. The quantity of British Plantation landed
last week at the East and West India Docks was 1,098 hhds,

into London this year, to the 31st inst., are 38,022 hhds,
4,458 trcs, against 32,279 hhds, 3,801 trcs at this time
last year. The ritock in London is 16,231 hhds, 2,455 trcs,
against 10,443 hhds, 1,887 trcs at this time last year. The

TEA.—The market is quiet, but the consumption is tole-
rably good.
Immoo.—The public sales of 13,146 chests, commenced
this morning, but as they will last several days, it is too
early to give an opinion

SUBMARINE OPERATIONS.—On Thursday week,
the smack Argyle, of Jersey, belonging to a company in the
West of England, arrived-1n Castletown-bay, Isle of Man,
with a celebrated diver, apparatus, &c., for the purpose of
taking up the brass guns and other parts ofthe wreck of the
Racehorse sloop-of-war, lost on Langness-point, about 21
years ago. On Wednesday last a great number of people,
gentle and simple, were out at Langness, looking at the diver.
The weather was beautiful, and there were- persons sailing on
that day who bad not been on the water for man,Nr years.
There was riot a single boat left in the harbour. The diver
has succeeded, with the assistance of the crew of the Argyle,
in taking up about 30 tons of pig-iron, a large quantity of
copper, and a large anchor and chain. The diver was under
water three hours at one time on Wednesday.—Isle of Man
