der. Having called on the Government to abolish s'2,cb
an iniquitous practice, he proceeded to observe that
there was a subject on which he felt it his duty to touch,
though it was with considerable pain he did so—he
alluded to the indications,, as conveyed through the
press, that some of their prelates were about to receive
that act which he had so frequently styled the infidel
colleges act. At a recent meeting in Cork, a Doctor
Bullen had declared that he spoke the sentiments of the
dignitaries of the Catholic Church when he expressed
his approval of the Government education scheme.
When he read that speech of Peel and Graham's friend,
Dr. Bullet), he could not keep out of his head the chorus
of a very old song, which ran something in this way,
Lillibulero, Bullen—a lad," He paid little attention,
however, to the expressions of such small fry as the
gentleman he had alluded to, but there had been a
meeting held in Armagh, at which sentiments had been
uttered in a high quarter, which deserved their most
serious consideration. It had been said that the amend-
ments made by the Government in their Education Bill
had satisfied the Catholic hierarchy of Ireland. If that
were the case, then indeed they, the lay Catholics of
Ireland, whn, in the discharge of what they believed to
be a conscientious duty, opposed the Colleges Bill,
were placed in a most unenviable position.—(Hear.)
The Catholic Members of Parliament who opposed the
Education Bill, waited anxiously with feelings of tl.e
most ready submission and reverence for the declaration
of the prelacy ; and had they been told they were satis-
fied with the Government's amendments, th:y should
sadly, sorrowfully, but still obediently and entirely, have
withdrawn their opposition to that Bill, which they
regarded and still regard as a curse.—(Hear, hear.) The
Archbishop of Tuam was under the same impression as
they were—that the amendments were not satisfa'tory,
and his letter to that effect has remained uncontradicted.
He trusted that some authoritative expression of their
combined opinion would at once be given by their re-
verend prelates, and thereby set the public mind ::t
rest. Let that decision be what it might, they would
submit to it most heartily ; but he hoped that the peo-
ple would not be left any longer in a state of uncert4inty
and doubt on that fearfully. important question. The
hon. gentleman then commented on an article which ap-
peared in the Morning OH onicle, ridiculing the absur-
dity of attempting to conciliate the Orangemen, and ex-
pressed his entire dissent from its premises ; on the
contrary, he bad every expectation that the Orangeman
would see the folly of disunion, and would ere long co-
operate with the repeaters in endeavouring to achieve
that which alone could benefit their common country—
a domestic legislature.

?ETERS V. WARD.

WHO AkE GENTLEMEN ?—This was a summoni under the
same Act, and an objection was taken to the description of
Mr. Peters in the affidavit; he had been described as a gen-
tleman.

It gas contended that no person was entitled to describe
himself as a gentleman but an attorney. Sir John Bayley
had taken the objection, and it had been held that even an
articled clerk could not maintain that character on paper.
The COMMISSIONER—What is this deponent ?
Arvoctivstv—Nething, I believe.
The COMMISSIONER—Then how is he to describe himself,
if he is of no trade or profession ? This description does not
tend to mislead, and I overrule the objection.
An ATTORNEY said that the proper and only legally recog.
nised title under an Esquire was " Yeoman," unless they were
gentlemen by Act of Parliam=ent.

SECONDARIES' COURT. Aug. 22.
(Before Mr. Secondary POTTER.)
JOSEPH v. WILLER.
This was an action brought to recover the sum of 121. 10s. 6d.
on a bill of exchang,, of which the defendant was alleged to be
the acceptor. The defendant, who resides at Clewer-lane,
Windsor, p'eaded that he did not accept the bill, but did not
appear to support his plea.
George Winter Roberts, the drawer of the bill. deposed that
he was present when the defendant signed his acceptance.
The SECONDARY said that their could not be a doubt as to
the fact of the acceptance being that of the defendant, notwith-
standing the plea. As the law nowstood thesesham pleas were
rather dangerous.
Mr. BUCHANAN, the plaintiff's solicitor claimed a verdict
for the bill, interest, and noting.
The Learned SECONDARY said that the noting could not be
allowed when a plea was put on the record, though the de-
fend,nt did not attend ; unless the noting was proved it would
be different on a mere inquiry.
The jury gave a verdict for the amount of the bill and
interest.
Th,s was the only case on the paper.

At the termination of the proceedings, the rent for
the week was announced to be 2241. 14s. 3d.
The meetin., then adjourned.

A FISHING PARTY.—One day last week a party
of four gentlemen, not much accustomed to boating, set out
from Helenshurgh to the buoy of Roseneath, for the purpose of
enjoying a few hours' fishing. As the evening drew on,
they resolved to return home, and having pulled up
their lines, each and all of them took manfully to the
oars. They were but indifferent rowers, and made asto-
nishingly little progress. A strong tide seemed to he run •
ning against them, and the more they pulled the more obstinate
grew the resistance. Eight—nine—ten o'clock came, and
found them almost as far from the shore as ever. Never-
theless, they continued to tug away with the most de-pe•
rate perseverence, although completely worn out with fatigue.
until about eleven o'clock at night, when they di-covei
to their infinite chagrin, that they had neglected
to lift the anchor ! The party soon after gained
the shore, but in a state of total exha istion, having laboui.al
incessantly against anchor and cable for upwards e,four hours!
Great, of course, is the chuckling amongst their numerous
friends, in reference to this famous boating exploit off Rose-
neath. We likewise understand that the song usually called
for in any company they may enter is the favourite one of

NORFOLK RAILWAY.-011 Saturday last no few r
than three accidents occured. About half-past one in the
morning, as the mail train was coming past Wymotelham,
where the men are at work all night, the horses of the ballast
carriages, as usual, were taken to the opposite side of the Tina ;
but just before the train got up, three of hern shyed, and
ran into the train, which in a moment cut them to pieces ;
all were killed, but no ill consequences to the train, which
proceeded on its journey. The next was a small accident
about a mile and a half on the London side of Bishop Stort -
ford, on the old Northern and Eastern Counties line. Here
a wheel came off the engine by the azletree breaking, sr.
that the passengers had to wait two hours for the
next down train, which took them on to Cambridge. The
third case was on the line between Norwich and Yarmouth.
Some sheep having got upon the line, the train passed over
some of them, and several were killed, but no further misehie,
happened, nor was there any daneer, not even so much as
might have attended a horse and gig under such cireu o-
stances ; but a considerable delay was occasioned, and some
alarm and anxiety were felt. In addition to these there hay,-
been other slight accidents in the course of the week ; one be-
tween Thetford and Brandon, when the bottom of the furnace
fell out ; another, when a carriage in starting got off the lint ;
but in which cases there was no danger, though tin.te was
delay. —Bury Post.
TWO CHILDREN SEVERELY BURNT.—T ursday,
between eight and nine o'clock, a fire occurred in a back moot
on the second floor of a house in Wilde-street, Drury-lane, in
the occupation of a woman named Lynch. The mother, win:
had incautiously placed a lighted candle on a chair by the side
of the bed where the two children were lying asleep, went out
for some tea and sugar, and during her absence the candle fell,
and set the chair on fire, which communicated to the bed-
clothes. A lodger in the house observing a great light in the

she ran into the room, happily in time to save them from being
burnt to death, though both were much injured about the fee*

died lately at the great age of 88. Having no children or im-

From the evidence that was adduced on the part of the pro-
secution, it appeared that the prisoner lived with her father and
mother at Greenwich. On the day mentioned in the indict-
ment she was taken ill, and gave birth to a child. Upon her
mother asking her if she had not done so, she screamed
" Yes ;" and upon being asked where it was, she mentioned the
place. The prisoner appeared in a most wild state, anti seemed
quite lost. Until this to 1 pla^e her mother did not suspect
she was in the family way. When the body of the child was
taken nut of the chamber was?' it was quite dead. At this
time the prisoner was lying on the bed exhausted and speech-
less. The prisoner was very fond of children.
Mr. Hater, a surgeon of Greenwich, stated that he was
called into the house of the prisoner's father. He saw the
body of a female child on the floor ; it was quite dead, and
there was a jagged wound on the neck, which appeared to have
penetrated to the vertebra of the back. The wound was such
AS would cause the death of the child. On seeing the prisoner
.he was in a most exhausted state; she had recently beer,

(Before the COMMON SERGEANT_
Frederick Woof" a }oturr man of respectable appearance
am! ~isire.s, aged 2'i, was indicted for burglariously entering
the hou:e of James Samuel, a shoemaker, in the City-road,
and stealing therefrom a coat, value 31., a watch, value 305., a
pair of boots, some silver spoons, and other articles of minor
value.

The prosecutor stated that on the morning of the 7th of
July, on coming down to his show-room, he missed his coat
and boots, but found in their place a coat and pair of boots,
which were produced in Court.
The coat was Identified as having been stolen some time
before from the prisoner's master, who lost at the sane time
a brea,t-pin, which a pawnbroker swore wa, pli,(lged in his
sh-,p by the prisoner. The pawnbr.ker wa• poiitive as to th
Heotity of the prisoner, and that he pawned the goccis of Mr
Samuel.

Alr. BALLANTINE defended the prisoner, and called his
landlord. and the wife of the latter, who swore that the prisoner
did not lea►e their house on the night of the 6th of July.
These witnesses ga►e him an excellent character.
A genteel young woman, named Atm Dawson. stated that
on t`•e 7th tar July the prisoner was in her company for more
th,n one hour, at the time when the pawnbroker swore to his
pawning the goods laid in the indictment.

would take the evidence of one witness who might be mistaken
in a matter of identity, against three witnesses wha could not
be mistaken, but must have sworn falsely, if the prisoner were

jury, without hesitation, acquitted the prisoner.
The COMMON SERGEA NT saw that there was another in-
dictment against the prisoner, but if it depended on the sane
eviden,e, he would not recommend counsel to proceed with it.
The Counsel for the prosecution expressed a determination
to proceed, and the case was ordered to stand over for the
present.

The ,econd charge against Frederick In if was abandoned.
He was, however, tried upon an indictment for stealing and
unlawfully having a carpenter's rule, the property of his
master, value 3s. In this case it appeared that the" prisoner
had taken away the rule with the master's knowledge, and had
promised to pay for it.
The jury at once returned a verdict of Not Guilty, which
was followed by very indecorous applause in Court from the
prisoner's friends. This was strongly rebuked by the Judge.

The case was postponed for the opinion of Commissioner

that he was quite sober at the time.
Mr. Gaines, who said he had net been engaged at the early
part of the case, assured the bench that this was not the fact.
On the contrary. he understood him to be a very well-conducted
young man, and be had his employer and other persons to
prove the fart.
Mr. Robert Riser, who described himself as the manager of
the London Conveyance Company's omtrbuies, said the de.
fendant had been in the company's employment about three
months, and during that time had conducted himself very well.
Mr. Notttort remarked upon the defendant's conduct as

Elizabeth Cockton, was charged with being drunk and dis-
orderly, and committing an assault on Louisa Sullivan.
The prosecutrix, Weise face was covered with scars, said
that she lodged in the same house with the prisoner, and that
interfering in a quarrel between her mother and the prisoner,
she received the ornaments above alluded to from the latter.
She bit her several times in the face, and also in the hand.
Mr. JARDINE asked if the witneet's mother was in at-
tendance ?—Wi+n•yss replied that she was.
Mary Sullivan, the mother of the last witness, was then
called, and said that she quarrel had originated in a dispute
about a gown which she had lost some time before. She had
spoken ab.'ut it in her presence, and she, the prisoner, con-
sidering her honesty impeached by her observations, had taken
a most valorous, but by no means becoming method of clearing
her character. This witness also showed marks on her face.
Mr. JAanmes said, that as the prisoner was not charged
with any assault on this witness, he could not take any notice
of that part of the evidence.
Policeman F 144 found the prisoner fighting with the elder
Sullivan in the street, before the house in which they lived.
He separated them with some difficulty, and they went to their
rooms. An hour after that, he found them again fighting, and
the prosecutrix was endeavouring to separate them. Cockton
and the elder Sullivan were drunk, but the prosecutrix wasnot.
The prisoner was committed to the House of Correction for
fourteen days.

MART noRouGH-STREET.
Annulino:l CAsss.—Charlet Rabrache, wine merchant,
Opera- colonnade, was summoned before Mr. Hard n ick for refus-
ing to support an illegitimate child, which had been sworn to him
by Esther Rains.
The mother said she lived servant in a house where the de-
fendant lodged, and the defendant, during the time-she was in
her place, attempted to take liberties with her. She, however,
resisted his importunities for some time; but after quitting
her. place she met' the defendant one evening, and he persuaded
her to enter a public-house in Rupert-street, and in a club-
room. which was then unoccepied, he effected his purpose. This
was the only occasion on which she had any intercourse wi' h the
defendant. She proved encienle, and was in May last, delivered
of 3 female infant.
Tne defendant denied that he was the father of the child, or
that he had ever taken improper liberties with the girl. lie
admitted that he had on one occasion taken the girl into a
public.h.,u,e, bat it was only to treat her to some beer.
Mr. Ha anwicx. who had heard the case previously, and who
had dismissed the information because the complainant, igno-
rant of the law, had come unprovided with corroborative evi-
(tenets, asked if the complainant was now prepared with any
evidence in suepert of her statement ? The mother aid there
mai a young; woman present who had seen the defendant give
her motley for the support of the child.
This young woman was called forward, and she said she ac•
eampanied the complainant to the defendant's place of busi-
ness. She heard the young woman ask him for money to sup-
port his child ; he gave her half-a-crown then, and told her he
would do no more fur the child than the law compelled him '
to do.

tion ha admitted that he had been in the room in question,
falsely alleging that he - had been sent up by Mr. Spring him-
self. Presently afterwards, when sought for, he had absconded.
William Bradley, a police-constable of the D division, said
he apprehended the prisoner in the Edgeware-road, on the 13th
He asked, while on the way to the court, what the wit-
ness thought would be done to him, and the witness replied
that he could not possibly say. but it was a very serious case.
The prisoner then said that Mr. Spring was wrong in charging
him with stealing seven 5/. notes and four sovereigns, the fact
being, he said, that he took only five 5Z notes and two sove-
reigns; 27/. altogether. The witin-ss added that a letter was
found on the prisoner, from which it appeared that he had in
the interim been to Bristol, and there left a box, and it was
conjectured that he might have deposited part of the stolen
money in the box, as none of it was found upon him. The
witness, therefore, went to Bristol by the magistrate's direc-
tion, but he found that the box referred to in the letter was
merely a musical box, which he took possession of and pro-
duced. The prisoner, when taken, had in his possession a
silver watch, an expensive cigar-case, some powder and shot,
and a few shillings, but none of the stolen property.
The prisoner was committed to Newgate for t-ial.
A FM/ALE DRUVxARD.—Martha Fuller, a notorious
drunkard, who has been numberless times before the magis-
trates, was placed at the bar.
It appeared that in her cups, yesterday forenoon, she strayed
into Shored itch Church, ar.d made her may to the pulpit, and,
being handed down to the police, was conveyed to the H police-
station, but she was so frantically drunk that she tore all the
clothes from her person, and reduced herself to a state of per-
feet nudity, and was bi ought before the magistrate wrapped in
a policeman's great coat.
A constable was sworn to the fact of her having been con-
victed before, and the prisoner herself muttered that she had
been in custody just one hundred and fifty-three times.
Mr. Bixanast consigned her once more to the House of
Correction, and she was conveyed thither in a cab.

FORGING SRANIEN'S ADVANCE-NOTE.-On Thnr.day a
youth, named William Grant, of good appearance and ad-
dress. whose name. was entered in the po;ice-•sheet as William
Robert Herbert Grant, aged 17, ws hrosght before Mr. Bro-
derip for final examination, charged with forging and uttering
a great quantity of seamen's advance-notes for the' payment of
money. The offence charged aotinst the prisoner hip been
very prevalent of late, and extensive frauds have been com-
mitted on slop;ellers awl others who are in the habit of cash-

•• • •••
ing seamen's advance-notes, and supplying them with and
outfit on the credit of those documents, which are hawked
about by wholesale in the district. The Legislature has
taken cognisance of the evil, for in the 7th section of the
Bth and 9th Vie., cap. 116, " An Act for the Protection of
Seamen entering on board Merchant Ships," it is enacted,
" that no owner, part owner, master, or person in
charge of any merchant ship, or ship's husband, shall
pay or advance, or give any note in writing or otherwise, in
the nature of and purporting to be, an advance note for any
part of the wages of any seaman hired, engaged, supplied, or
provided to be entered on board the said ship, anvil six hours
after the ship's articles have been duly signed by the said
seaman on board the said ship, and by the master or owner of
the said ship, and then only to the said seaman himself, unless
such wages or advance of wiges be paid in money, in which
case the payment thereof may, be made to the said seaman him-
self at any period most convenient after the signing of the said
ship's articles as aforesaid." This Act coma into operation on
the Ist of November next, and will prevent frauds by seamen
as well as upon them.
In this case it appeared that the prisoner has been victi-
mising the Jew clothiers and others on both sides of the water,
who are in the habit of cashing advance notes, or providing
clothes, chests, and hammocks to seamen for them. The
appearance of the prisoner, which is that of a smart young
sailor, and who has been at sea anti made several voyages.
was well calculate I to impose upon his dupes. From a host
of cases detected we select the most prominent. On the
30th of July the prisoner called at the shop of Messrs.
Hallett and Co., outfitters; in Broad-street, Ratcliff, and
presented to their shopman, Wilson, an advance note for the
payment of 1/. 155., a month's wages for an ordinary seaman,
which the prisoner represented himself to be. It purported
to be signed by Captain Martin Fleming, the master of the
ship Maranham, and was made payable at the offices of Mr.
Charles Gu.nrn, broker of the ship. at No. 4, King's Arms-
builiting.. 'Change-alley, three days after the sailing of the
ship, provided the person whose name was endorsed on the note
sailed with the vessel. The prisoner represented that he had
signed articles to go out in the Maranham, and that he had
dealt with Messrs. Hallett before, and they had treated him so
well he wished to patronise them again. He was supplied
with clothes and money to the amount named on the credit of
the note, which afterwards turned out to be a forgery. The
Maranham sailed on Tuesday week, and Mr. Wilkins, clerk to
Mr. Gamin, said that no part of the note was in the captain's
handwriting, as it pretended to be. On the 22d of July the
prisoner tendered a similar advance note to Mr. Cohen, a 'whir
and outfitter, in Tooley-street. It purported to be signed by
James M'Pherson, master of the Elizabeth, bound to Bom-
bay, and was made payable at the office of Messrs. Toulmie,
the ship brokers, in Great St, Helens. Cohen said he would
math the note if the prisoner gave him security, and he said
his mother would do that. Cohen wrote him out a form,

This witness was severely cross-examined to shoe- that the
half-crown had been given because tee complainant said she was
in distress, and not for the maintenance of the child, but the
witness maintained her statement without the last variation.
Mr. HARDWICK said that the corroborative evitlence in
this case was eeitainly of the most meagre character. It rested
principally on the testimony of tee witness who deposed to the
defendant paying money for the maintenance of the child.
Unless it could be shown that this witness, who could have no
motive for stating that which was untrue, had deliberately
perjured herself, he must consider that a sufficient amont of
corrub 'ration had been proeuced, and he must make an order
for 2s. 6d. a week on the defendant.
The defendant, through his legal adviser, gave notice of
appeal.
Cbartes Butler, a tailor, 26. Little Wind Mill-street, was
surnamed for re eusing to contribute towards the maintenance
of a child, affi:iated on him by Joie Hoare.
The mother said she had been acquainted with the defendant

seaman's advance note, purporting to be signed by the master
of the Maranham. It was proved to be a forgery. On Thurs-
day, the 7th instant, the prisoner called upon Mr. Hunter. of
No. 17, Parsons-street, East Smithfield. and said he had
joined the Wellington. and had left his advance note in pawn
with a Jew for half-a-crown. On the following day the pri-
soner called again with an advance note. The blanks were
fluted up with the name of the master of the Wellington. The

proved to be a fo"gery. When the prisoner was apprehended
by Hale, he found a memorandum-book, which contained an
account of all his transactions, and a history of the frauds he
had committed upon .0 many persons. There was also a letter
found upon him, signed " Hobert Atkins," and addressed
" M,ss Alargaret Grant," which contained the following sen-
tences :--" I am compelled to act in a manner wholly against

traced the utteiing of sixteen advance notes to the prisoner.
He had obtained mon.y and clothes on the whole of them.

Previou. to the fist examination the prisoner appeared sur-
prised at the number of per4ons who attended to identify him,
and said he did not think that any one would prosecute him for
such small sums.

The depositions in four cases were taken, the witnesses were
bound over to prosecute, and the prisoner, who made no de••
fence, was committed for trial.
