POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MARYLEBOAE.
Mr, Edward Raleigh Moran, a gentleman connected v.

one of the daily papers, made "an application to the sitting
Magistrate, Mr. Long, on the subject of a forgery of his
name, by which some person representing him, and describ-
ing himself as the applicant, had obtained forty shares
through the medium of his forged application, in one of the
Paris and Lyons Railway Companies. Mr. Moran stated
that the secretary of the company was the son-in-law of
an intimate friend of his, and that through that gentleman
having written to him stating that the allotment of shares
for which he applied had been made 'to him, and would be
forwarded to his address, No. 38, Manchester-street, Alan-
chester-square; he obtained the first intimation of the fraud
attempted to be put upon the company in his name. The
applicant here handed to the Magistrate, through Jones, the
usher of the Court, two letters, the first of which was that
having the Christian and surname " Edward Moran," with
a description of the paper to which he stated himself to be-
long, as also the place of residence and address, as required
by the Company, " 38, Manchester-street, Manchester-
square," and giving a reference to the proprietors of the news-
paper upon which applicant was engaged. The other letter
contained the announcement made in the usual way, that the
forty shares applied for had been allotted. The applicant
further stated that he had obtained those documents through
the secretary of the Company, and the object of his present
application was to know from the worthy Magistrate if he
could not obtain some redress; and if so, of what nature that
redress was?

Mr. LONG. after perusing the papers, declared his opinion
that as the applicant had not been injured in the transaction,
he could give him no assistance.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.
HOUSE OF LORDS, April 17.
The Earl of RIPON presented a petition from the
Legislative Assembly of New South Wales, praying that
the corn and wheat of that colony may be admitted into
this country on the same terms as the corn and wheat of
Canada.

NEW CHURCHES.

The Earl of CADOGAN then brought forward his
motion, of which he had given notice, relating to certain
returns concerning the building of new churches. The
Noble Lord said it had been stated in another place that
the matter was of little or no importance, and affected the
interests only of private individuals. So far, however,
from this being the case, it involved the administration
of public funds by a public board, and the invasion of
the rights of one party by another. He would proceed
to give their Lordships an idea of' what these acts were ;
he would quote the -Act 58th Geo. HI., by which this
fund was created, which gave a complete power to apply
the surplus pew-rents to the rector of Upper Chelsea,
instead of appropriating thenatoitheartestioathafß;time
Lion -of the parish—. Under the Act of 3d and
4th Victoria had arisen powers of an unlimited
nature, and which enabled them to transfer for
ever the surplus pew-rents to the rector, instead
of applying them, as they ought to have been applied, to
the building of a rectory-house, The Right Rev. Pre-
late (the Bishop of London) bad stated that he had
expressed displeasure, when in reality displeasure was
not the word at all which should have been applied to
his observations ; but it was true that he did object to
this proceeding, and he would show the grounds on
which he objected. By the surveyor's report, he found
that the new residence for the rector was to cost 1,5001.
or 1,600/. when a place which Pas equally appropriate
as that which had been selected might have been chosen,
and on that a house might have been built for 1,1001. or
1,200/ ; and thus a house would have been obtained in
seven or eight years, as useful as that which would now
require fifteen or twenty years to erect it. With respect
to the parish of Paddington, the population had in-
creased, while in Upper Chelsea the population had
very greatly decreased, rendering an addition to the
income of the rector quite unnecessary. He would now
explain to their Lordships the peculiar nature of the
funds derived from the pew-rents. This was not a fixed
but a fluctuating sum ; and that made it a very different
matter, and he believed that the application of this sum
was not only unjust but perfectly illegal. With respect
to the assignment of this sum, he had no objection if it
were rightly applied; but the present rector was
in good circumstances ; and there was no
need whatever for increasing his income. He
wished to know if all the communications and papers
which had passed between the rector and the Board of
Commissioners had been laid on the table of the House;
because, if they had not., he thought it was essential for
the interest of the public and the Church that they
should be. The Noble Earl concluded by moving for a
Select Committee to inquire whether the assignment of
the pew-rents of St. Luke's, Chelsea, to the rector and
his successors for ever, by the Commissioners appointed
for regulating the building of new churches, was advis-
able or not ; or whether it would not have been more
advisable to invest the money in Government Securities,
and afterwards appropriated it to the building of a rec-
tory house ?
The Bishop of LONDON did not feel himself bound
to say whether any private communications had taken
place between the Commissioners and Mr. Burgess on
this subject ; but he could assure the Noble Earl that
every document which had been submitted to the Board
in its public capacity had been laid before the House.
The question more concerned the private interests of the
Noble Earl than the welfare of the public or the Church,
and he could therefore see very little ground indeed
calling fur a Parliamentary inquiry. The pew-rents had
been considerably increased by the talents and popula-
rity of the rector. Mr. Burgess, and in his opinion it
would be extremely hard to take away that emolument
which bad accrued to the rector from his own zeal and
exertions, merely to provide for the convenience and
comfort of some future incumbent, or to swell the value
of a particular advowson of which the Noble Earl was
himself the patron.—(Hear, hear.) He ciid therefore
trust that their Lordships would not for one moment en-
tertain the motion which had been proposed by the
Noble Earl, because he did think he had given sufficient
reasons for the rejection of the motion.
The Earl of CADOGAN complained that the Right
Rev. Prelate had thrown out as unjust an aspersion
upon his character, as it was possible for one man to
throw out against another. He said that he (the Earl
of Cadogan) made this motion through interested mo-
tives ; such motives he despised, and considered that
they could be entertained by no one sooner than the
person who imputed them.—s Laugh ter.)
The motion was negatived without a division.
ENTAILED ESTATES IMPROVEMENT.
The Duke of RICHMOND was induced to submit a
motion connected with entailed estates, because the
improvement of such estates was closely connected
with the improvement of agriculture ; and he
believed that there was no person who was
not satisfied that thorough drainage was one of the
principal means by which that improvement was to be
effected. There was an Act in existence in Scotland
called the Montgomery Act, and in 1840 an Act was
passed to effect something of :he same kind in England,
through the instrumentality of Mr. Pusey. But in those
Acts entailed estates had been overlooked, and itwasevi-
dent from the owners only having a life-interest in such
estates, and from the natural anxiety vi hieh they felt to
provide for their younger children, that these estates
would not have fair play and share in that improvement
which was necessary for the general benefit of the coun-
try. The passing of such a motion as he had to make
would have, if passed, the effect of providing for the in-
dustrious and worthy agricultural labourer that employ-
ment which he now too often sought in vain,, and of
giving hies a fair day's pay for a fair day's work. Ile
saw, with much satisfaction, that the commission of
which his Noble Friend (the Earl of Devon) was the
head, bad recommended such a measure as this for Ire-
land, and as he (the Duke of Richmond) believed that it
was calculated to do good to both countries, he should
move that a Select Committee be appointed, with a view
to some legislative enactment for enabling the o
osse-b rs
of entailed estates to charge such estates with pa
certains
sum, to be limited, and to be expended in drainage for
the improvement of the same.
The Duke of CLEVELAND said that as the object
of this motion was to improve these estates permanently,
and would be as much for the benefit of the successors
possessors of them, and as
to the estates as for the
