GUILDHALL.-(THIS DAY.)

John Henderson and Charles Mortimer were placed
before Mr. Alderman Kelly, charged with having
tried to utter a forged cheque for 401. at the banking-
house of Stone, Martins, and Stone, 68, Lombard-
street.

Messrs. Bush and Mullens, solicitors to the Bank
Protection Society, appeared to prosecute; and Mr.
Woolf, from the office of Flower and Co., Hatton-
gardens, attended for the prisoners.
Mr. Mullets having briefly opened the case, pro-
ceeded to call witnesses.

George Murden examined—Was employed at
The Sun newspaper-office. Knew the prisoner Mor-
timer, who was employed by Mr. Ridgway, book-
seller, Piccadilly. He (Mortimer) was obliged to be
at The Sun office every evening, and thus witness
knew him. Witness was requested by the prisoner,
yesterday evening, to present a cheque for 401. at
the bank of Stone, Martins, and Stone, in Lombard-
street, and get six 51. notes and ten sove-
reigns in change. If any doubt were raised he
was to show the accompanying letter. The cheque
be said had been received from his brother-in-law,
John Henderson, but as he (Mortimer) could not get
into the City in time, he asked witness to get it cashed
-for him. After presenting the cheque, two con-
stables were sent back to The Sun office with him,
and he found Mortimer there. Witness said,
" Charlie, how about this cheque ?" and he replied,
addressing the constable, that his brother-in-law gave
it to him, and then they all walked over to No. 3,
Burleigh!:street, where prisoner lived. Henderson
came down, and one of the constables said there was
a bother about the cheque. Henderson said there
must be some mistake then ; he had received the
cheque of a gentleman last Saturday, for payment of
route bets on the "Derby." They,then got into a cab,
and were driven to the station-house.

By Mr. Woolf—lie had known Mortimer for
four or five years, and always believed him an honest
young man. Mortimer did everything connected
with this transaction openly, and had told witness
frbm the first, that he had received the cheque from
his brother-in-law. _

Mr. William Sangier, from the bank of Stone,
Martins, and Co. said, that Mr. C. Stokes, whose name
was affixed to the cheque, was a customer of theirs,
but the signature did not at all resemble his, and
the imposture was therefore at once detected.
Mr. Charles W. Stokes said that he did,- some time
ago, reside at the Morley Hotel, Charing-cross, where
the prisoner Henderson was a waiter. He had cheque
similar to the one produced in his pocket-book, which
-were often left upon his dressing-table.
By Mr. Woolf—The other servants of the esta-
blishment had equal access with the primer to his
room.
Mr. Woolf contended that there was no tittle of
evidence against the prisoner Mortimer, who had
from the Srst acted in such a way as clearly showed
that he could have no guilty knowledge of this trans-
action. His employer, Mr. Ridgway, was in court,
and would state to the magistrates in what estimation
the prisoner was held.
Mr. Ridgway said that he had attended closely to
the case, and so satisfied was he of the young man's
innocence, that he would still retain him in his em-
employment. He was frequently entrusted by him
with large sums, and he had ever found him trust-
worthy.
Finally, the case was remanded till Saturday, and
Mortimer was admitted to bail, Mr. Ridgway and Mr.
Young, of 112, Strand,- being his sureties, in 1001.
each.

Alderman LUCAS remarked that the very fact, that
two gentlemen of such respectability having so wil-
lingly offered themselves as sureties in such amounts,
spoke volumes in the young man's favour.
flenderson was then reconducted to the cell, and
Mortimer discharged for the time being.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS

FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF THIS DAT.

GLOBE.—Lord Stanley's elevation to the Peerage,
and Lord Ellenborough's advancement to an Earldom
(the latter announced in last night's Gazette), are acts
incapable of any construction that can avert reproach
from the Government. They partake more of
the bravado of a h ally, than of the deliberation
which should precede and the dignity which
should accompany, the decisions of a Cabinet.
Lord Stanley's administration of the Colonial-
office had been censured in the report of a
Parliamentary Committee nominated by the Govern-
ment, and' the majority of which was selected from
the Ministerial side of the House. To indicate the
contempt of independent judgment which the Minis-
try entertains, the member of the Government whose
conduct in his official post had. been emphatically re-
buked, was pitchforked into the House of Lords.
in Lord Stanley's case„. the adverse report of it
Parliamentary ComMittee on the course adopted by
'his Lordship as Colonial Secretary, and. which
ought to have caused his removal from the office hr
bad shown himself i :competent to hold, was
the precursor of advancement to the Peerage. The
Colonies may complain of neglect. The West Indies
and Australia may remonstrate. New Zealand may
deplore the neglect of its rising interests, by which its
hopes ei security and advancement are frustrated; these
resifts ma-v be declared by aParliamentery Committee
twproceed from mismanagement on the part of the
"Executive Government at home :" What then? The
'Cabinet upholds its Colonial Secretaryat the expense of
the interests, if not of the existence,' of the Colonies :
and the complaints of, and censures passed upon, his
idniinistration, are the signals for conferring upon
Kim honours and rewards ! Immediately on. Lord
3Ellenborough's return from the mal-administration of
the Indian Government; from which he was recalled
'by the body best qualified to form a judgment of his
administration, and its tendency to promote of
injure the interests of British India, the Sovereign
is advised to confer the rewards of distin-
guished merit upon the man who had perilled the
safety of the Indian Empire intrusted to his bare.
So fondly anxious were Ministers to solace the wounded
vanity of their protege, -that a new patent of nobility,
4' granting to him the dignities of a Viscount and an
Earl," awaited his arrival. Scarcely had the recalled
'Baron Ellenborough reached the shores of England,
from the country where his vanity and love of military
&splay had lavished treasure to an incalculable amount,
-and created peril's it was fearful to contemplate, than
he was saluted Viscotint Southern and Earl of Ellen-
borough ! Such open contempt of all the acknow-
ledged rules of propriety—a respect for which will
sometimes atone for want of honesty—will recoi!
wonGovernment.the Governent. All respect for the acts,
all confidence in the virtue, of a Cabinet which thus
,braves public opinion, and converts merited dis-
grace into occasions for; conferring honours and re-
wards, must cease. Lord Ellenborough's acts are
no longer imputable to his own follies or faults. They
cease to he his. Her Majesty's Ministers have boldly
assumed the responsibility. They have taken the dere-
lict Governor-General under theirspecial care. They
have delighted to honour him whom all men else have
:agreed to censure. An Earl's coronet encircles the
brow which might otherwise have been suffused with
the consciousness of shame. Lord Ellenborough's
Earldom supplies an instance of the kind of services
which the Government nf Sir R. Peel makes haste to
bouour. It holds out to others—who, like him, may
ha entrusted with the discharge of duties in respon-
sible :tad highly elevated posts—that stimulus to a
prudent and zealous regard to the honour of their
Sovereign and the interests of the empire, of which
bard Ellenborough is so brig ht an example; and for
which he has been selected as the object of his Sove-
reign's gracious approbation.
STANDARD.—The elevation of Lord Ellen-
borough to an Earldom, recorded in the Gazette of
last evening, is a sufficient answer to the insinuations
which have been so unsparingly indulged in to his
prejudice by
.his Whig Radical detractors. It may
be regarded, in fact, as an intimation of the determi-
nation of the Government, not to he influenced by
ether* opinions than their own in their appreciation of
dinitingiiThed public services, how loud soever the
elanfour that may he raised against the individual.
Of whatev4r errors of judgment his Lord-

ship has been accused, the Merits of his short
but brilliant administration of the affairs of India
have been plated beyond a question, by the irresis-
tible evidence of facts, too stubborn to be disputed.
The condition in which he has handed over his Go-
vernment to his successor is one which will bear
an advantageous comparison with that in which that
country has been left by the most distinguished of
his predecessors. The legacy of disaster and disgrace
bequeathed to him by Lord Auckland was of a na-
ture with which no Governor- General of India
has hitherto been called upon to contend ; and
could only have been equalled by the difficulties in-
herited from the Government of Lord Melbourne, by
Sir Robert Peel. He found an enormously failing re-
venue, and a decreasing commerce. He has restored
the one, and invigorated the other. The pres-
tige which had attached to the British arms
in India, had been impaired by a defeat, of
the most calamitous description ; a disaster which
the most ordinary foresight might have prevented,
and which was incurred in insolent defiance of the
Most consummate experience and the soundest judg-
ment. The Duke of Wellington predicted the con-
sequences of our occupation of Affghanistan, in lan-
guage the most earnest and impressive ; but his expe-
rience was disregarded, and his admonitions defied.
Not only did Lord Melbourne's Government persist
in its insane scheme, but they employed the most
inadequate means to carry it out, and their attempt
to make a " little war" terminated accordingly
in a catastrophe' which shook our Indian empire
to its foundations. This disgrace has been oblite-
rated and the influence thus wantonly sacrificed re-
stored. Ten successive victories, rivalling in bril-
liancy the most splendid successes recorded in the
annals of Anglo-Indian warfare, have not only re-
deemed the credit of British arms, but have placed
British dominion in the East on a more secure
basis than it has ever before attained. Lord Ellen-
borough had to encounter either open hostility
or concealed perfidy, the natural results of the
apathetic and culpable indolence of his predecessor, in
several of the most important divisions of India; lie
has left them in a state of tranquillity, which de-
mands nothing beyond the most ordinary vigilance to
perpetuate ; and the highest compliment that could
be paid to his policy is to be found in its adop-
tion in all " substantial points by his suc-
cessor. Among the more useful but not very
popular measures of his Government were the cor-
rection of several of the abuses which had crept
into the civil departments of the service, and the sup-
pression of much of the corruption which had hitherto
disgraced them. His Lordship's zealous and unflinch-
ing performance of this most difficult of his duties
could not fail of creating for him many enemies ' • and
to the intrigues of those whose peculations he had ar-
rested, and whose corruption he had resisted, is mainly
attributed his regal; whilst his popularity with the
army has tended to increase tle• jealousy a:id ill-will
to which he has been sacrificed. Whilst they have
recognised a power which had long lain in abey-
ance, and which it was hardly expected would have
been exercised, however, her Majesty's Ministers
have not scrupled to proclaim their opinion
of the treatment which Lord Ellenborough
has experienced at the hands of the East
India Company. On the first intimatimn
of the intentions of the Directors, the Duke
of Wellington expressed himself in terms
of the most unequivocal surprise and disapprobation ;
and the distinguished mark of her Majesty's favour
which, by the advice of her Ministers, she has just
conferred upon his Lordship, affords irresistible
proof that the opinions of the Government on the
subject have rather been confirmed than disturbed.
Of the circumstances which led to Lord Ellenbo-
rough's recall we have, as yet, no official informa
tion. By some, it has been ascribed to non-ob-
servance of that deference, amounting to something
not far removed from servility, in his correspon-
dence with the Directors, which they appear to
have expected; whilst by others it has been attri-
buted to his too stringent attempts to reform the
jobbing of their civil servant in India. Be the
origin of his recall what it may, he has some con-
solaiion under the heavy weight of their di-
pleasure. Hi; conduct has received the warmest testi
monials a approval from his Sovereign and her ad-
visera ; whilst for the vigour and promptitude with
winich he on several occasions redeemed the burning
disgrace heaped-upon our arms in Affghanistan, he has
twice received the thanks of both Houses of Parlia-
ment. The mystery will, no doubt, be cleared_up
when Parliament next assembles. Meanwhile, candour
demands an abstinence from the sort of abuse so
lavishly poured upon him by the organs of the Whig
Government; seeing that even a recalled Governor-
General cannot condescend to reclamations in any
other place than that in which he can meet his
accusers face to face, and test the validity of the
charges they may have to bring against him by an
an appeal to the only tribunal to which he i 3
legt-
timately responsible for his conduct.

generally entertained, of disputes between the work
people and their employers, there has been an active de-
mand both for goo& and yarn ; and prices of both, btu
especially of the latter, are very buoyant this viceli.-

has been again dull, and the sales limited. There is but

THE SUN', LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING OCTOBER 16 1844.:

The RECORDER wished to know whether Mr. Salo-
' mons asked the Court not to tender the declaration ?
Mr. SALOMONS—No; I only ask for a delay of a fort.
Sir J. KEY thought the request a reasonable ore and
would move that the delay of a fortnight be granted.
Mr. Alderman Humeneity seconded the motion.
The worthy Alderman was about to enter into a dis-
cussion on the merits of the case, when he was called to
order, on the ground that the question of delay was the
only question before the Court.
Sir PETER LAURIE was quite prepared to argue the
question. Ile opposed the application fof May; They
ivere there not to alter or modify the law, but to see the
law obeyed. They were acting ministerially, not judi-
cially, and they could not grant the request for delay.
He entertained a high respect for Mr. Salmons per-
sonally, but he should vote against delay.
Mr. Alderman HUGHES opposed the motion. It was
not as if the case .had been new to Mr. Salmons. This
declaration had been before tendered to that gentleman,
and refused. It was therefore impossible to say that he
had not batten opportunity of well considering the subject.
It was not as if he had come before the Court for the
first time, and he could not believe that the delay of
a fortnight was necessary, in order to enable Mr. Salo•
mons to ascertain his position. It was out of the power
of any Court, except the High Court of Parliament, to
modify or alter the declaration.
Mr. Alderman CHALLIS reminded the Court that
since Mr. Salomons' last election the law had been modi-
fied, and whatever might be his opinion on the matter in
question, he should certainly vote for giving Mr. Salo-
mons all possible time to consult legal authorities. As he
understood the question, Mr. Salomons contended that
the qualifications had been so modified by a recent Act
of Parliament as to enable him to take it, and he cer
tainly should have ample time allowed him to consider
the subject.
Mr. Alderman WOOD believed, as a lawyer, that the
case was one in which grave doubts might be en-
tertained, whether the law, which had been alluded to,
had not been modified by a recent Act of Parliament ;
and surely every opportunity ought to be afforded to
Mr. Salomons to get the best advice on the subject. He
should vote for granting his reasonable request.
Sir CHAPMAN MARSHALL would be happy to accede
to the request if he could do so legally. He should
like to know, from the Recorder, whether they could do
so legally.
The RECORDER said they were assembled there to
perform a public duty, which was to tender a declara-
tion to a gentleman who offered to take upon himself
the duty of Alderman of the City. It would be a most
inconvenient course for them to pursue, if they were to
interrupt that proceeding by a motion for delay. No •
thing as yet had occurred which rendered such an appli-
cation necessary. He should advis., that the declaration
should at once be tendered to Mr. Salomons. He would
then be in a position to state any legal question, and
show cause why he refused, and the Court could
then deal with the legal merits of the ques-
tion. But, at the present stage of the proc, ed-
ings, to entertain a motion for delay was what
in his opinion, it was not competent for the
Court to do. He should recommend the Court strictly
to walk in the same path in which they had hitherto
walked—to tender the declaration as had- been done in
all previous cases.
Mr. SALOMON'S had attended there in obedience to the
summons of the Court, and all he asked was for a delay
of a fortnight. He trusted he should have a definite
answer given to his request for delay.
The RECORDER recommended the Lord Mayor at
onc e to
top ilrociere.dtitaolotinheofibsus
tinoe sms,aakned decla-
rationatnodtesnudbesrerthibee,whowould either, decline or give his reasons.
The LORD MAYOR decided that the declaration should
be again tendered to Mr. Salomons.
Mr. Alderman WOOD wished to make a motion.
Mr. Alderman H. Huonzs submitted that they were
not in a condition to entertain a motion until the decla-
ration had been tendered.
The RECORDER wished to know whether or not Mr.
Salomons refused to take the declaration?
'Mr. SALOMONS did not re fuse to subscribe to the de-
claration. He asked for delay.
The REconnun would remind Mr. Salomons that the
Act did not state refuse. The words of the Act were,
"that if any person so elected should omit or neglect to
make the declaration, such election should be void."
Mr. Alderman H. HUGHES thought they ought at once
to ascertain whether it was competent to them to entertain
the motion for delay or not. lie called upon the Lord
Mayor at once to state whether he would put the ques-
tion of adjournment or not.
The LORD Mayon did not sit there to be dictated
to by Mr. Alderman Hughes. He should pursue his
own course in his own time. lie was anxious hot to
press heavily upon Mr. Sadomons ; but it was due to the
Court either that he should take the declaration, or state
his reasons for refusing.
Mr. SeLomosis still urged for an answer to his applica-
tion for delay,
The IittORDER reminded him that it was not neces-
sary that he should give a verbal refusal. A refusal
might be given either by word, of mouth, or by gesture,
or by any act; and it was competent to the Court to de-
dare the election void, in ease of any omission or neglect
on his part to take and subscribe the required de-
claration.

A low,* and very disorderly discussion here arose as to
whether the Court could entertain the proposition for
delay.
Mr. Alderman MdadaoArl% wished to know from the
Recorder, whether, in his opinion, a ineniber of that
Court could at that stage of the proceedings legally pro-
pose the adjournment of the Court for a fortnight ?
The RECORDER was of opinion that §titii a motion
could not that 130 legally enteitaitled. BerOte silcti a
motion could be made Mr. Salomons must either refuse
to subscribe the declaration, or raise some legal point on
which he might submit to the Court that he was gxempt
from the inseessity of taking the tliciartltioni ten-
dering that detlitration they Weft) engaged in a solemn
act Of duty, and that act could not be interrupted by any
motion for adjournment.
After a few words from Mr. Alderman Farebrother
and Sir Claudipl florae;
TliLi I 1 IlLocort announced that he had determined
not to put the question on the motion of Sir John Key
for delay. His Lordship then formally called upon NIL
Salomons to make and subscribe the declAration which
had been tendered. hitti b the, Chritt
Mr. then proceeded to address the Court.
He had hoped that his application for delay, which had
to the cdtift gib ()pinions of
_6;6 he had ilientiofied, and
been made in no bad spirit, and with no sinister mot:ve,

Salomons then referred to the case which came before
the Court some years ago, in which it was decided by
the Exchequer Chamber, contrary to the opinion of

taken before the oath. There were seven
judges against fife points, which had
been tried in his o*n glit it WOulci appear, from
tlit judgment, that it was in the discretion of the Court
to decide whether the oaths should be administered be-
fore the declaration, or the declaration heft*, the lath.
The same woilld appear to have been the opinion of
Lord Eldon, as appeared from his judgment in the case
of the Cineptl'S College; Cambridge. Ile had also the
tlpiiiitiii bt a most etilinent iakydi M. Me D. Hill, who
stated that the declaration need not be taken before
the actual admission. He begged to impress on
the Court, that if they wished, they might bare the
oath atittlitlistertel iii the first instance, and the
declaration signed afterwards. The next point to which
he drew their attention was as to the practice of
the Court, ard observed that it was formerly
the practice of the Corporation to force persons,
tinder heavy penalties, to serve in offices for which
they were not qualified, as persons who had not
taken the Sacrament according to• the forms of the
Church of England twelve months before. It was well
known that many individuals were elected Aldermen
who had not taken the Sacrament twelve months before
their admission ; but though that was required by law,
it was not the practice to enter into such an inquisitorial
preeetr,
The itneonniga said the Court was with Mr. Salo-
mons oh that point. If he did not take the declaration,
they would not impose a fine of 500/. on him for not
doing so.
Mr: SALOMONS then referred to two statutes, the Ist
of Victoria, c. 5, and the 1g and 2d of Victoria, c. 165,
which relaxed the laws in England to Moravians,

tianity was the law of the land. Mr. Salomons had referred
to the Acts mitigating the law in favour of Quakers,
Moravians, and Separatists. Now, if Mr. Salomons felt
it fight tn. stibsdribe the declaration as a Separatist) ha
would be glad to hold oat the hand of fellowship to hini
But he begged to remind the Court that one of the opinions
of the Separatists was, that It was not right to take an
oath. If Mr. Salomons could declare that he was a
member of the sect.called Separatists, and made the de-
claration as such, he would be glad to see him amongst
them. But he heard Mr. Salomons say that he would
give tip his ambition rather than his religious convictions,
add lid was glad to heat that tentitflent, of it was that
of an honest man. If the Jewish persuasion wished to
be relieved from the necessity of taking this declaration,
they should go to Parliament. Mr. Grote made a
motion on the subject in their favour. He (Sir P.
Laurie) was as liberal as any one--(Great laughter)—
but he could not consent to see the laws of the Court
violated. He should therefore move that the declaration
be put to Mr. Salomons in the usual manner.
Mr. Alderman HtlottEa seconded the motion. _ _

The 11,EeOlibElt then pot the question that the declara-
tion be tendered to Mr. Salomons by the Town Clerk in
the manner prescribed by the Act.
Alderman Sir J. KEY moved, as an amendment, that
the oaths of office be tendered, in the first instance, to
Mr. Salomons. The worthy Alderman commenced by
passing a high eulogium on the character of Mr. Salo-
mons, pt' lic and private. There were few persons who
were more ready to support by his means the charities
of the City of London, no matter of what religious com-
plexion, than Mr. Salomons. With regard to any danger
to the Church, he would, observe that a most respect-
able clergyinan, Dr. Bunting, came forward and bade
Mr. Salomons to go forth and prosper. He thought
that the Court would do well to accommodate themselves
to the temper of the times, and admit Mr. Salomons as
an Alderman.

Mr. Alderman W. IIuNTER seconded the amendment.

The RECORDER then put the amendment, when
Mr. Alderman HUMPHERY rose to reply to some ob-
servation of Sir Peter Laurie, and said that the statute to
which the worthy Alderman referred, respecting
the Separatists, was repealed by the statuta of
Victoria. He thought that Mr. Salomons could take
the declaration made by Separatists.
Mr. Alderman SIDNEY said he should vote -on this
occasion for the amendment, because he did not think
they would be abrogating any law in putting the oaths
first, which would give time to Mr. Salomons to take
the highest legal author itv.
Mr. Alderman WOOD rose to speak, when
Mr. Alderman FAREDRCrYIIER rose to order, and said
that after the question had been put, and since Sir J.
Key had not replied—(Laughter and a hiss)—it was
irregul'sr to proceed. He would move, in consequence of
the disturbance of the Court by the person who hissed,
that the Court should be oleared.—The Court was then
cleared.

After some time the Court was again opened to
strangers, when

Mr. Alderman WOOD rose, and argued that it was per-
fectly legal to put the oaths of office first to Mr. Salo.
mons, leaving Mr. Salomons to take his own course
with regard to the declaration. The declaration was a
substitute for the sacramental test. Persons were ad-
mitted by the Court who had not complied with that test.
He did not think, therefore, that the Court ought to insist
on Mr. Salomons taking the declaration then.
The amendmi nt was then put, when there appeared—
For the amendment 6
Against it
Majority against the amendment 4
The amendment was then declared to be lost.
The original motion was then put, when there ap-
peared—
For the motion lO
Against it
Majority - 7
The declaration was then tendered to Mr. Salomons
by the Town Clerk.
Mr. SALOMONB said he begged to say that he protested
against the construction put upon the Act of Parliament.
There was nothing in the Act to compel him to subscribe
before the oath. He would do so in the legal form if the
oath were put to him.
The RECORDER said the effect of his not complying
with the order of the Court would be to render his
office void.

Mr. SALOMONS—I ask of you to tender me the oath
of office.

The RECORDER said the next resolution he would
have:to put was "that a Salomons,Esq., having neglected
and omitted, and in fact refused, to subscribe the usual
declaration, as prescribed by the 9th of Geo. IV., c. 17,
this Court doth adjudge the election of the wardmote of
Portsoken to be null, and the Lord Mayor is directed
to hold a wardmote of Portsoken to elect an Alderman,
in the room of the late Alderman." He wished to read
this to Mr. Salomons before he put it, in order that he
might not be taken by surprise.
Sir PETER LAURIE proeosed, and Mr. H. HUGHES
seconded the resolution, which was put and carried, by a
majority of ten to four.
Mr. SALOMONS protested against the proceedings of
the Court, because Ile had not neglected or omitted to
do anything which was lawful.
Mr. Salomons then left the Court, and was cheered
outside,
The Court then transacted some other business, after
which it was cleared.

The surgeon of Brixton house of Correction in his
report staid, that there had been a great many cases of
itch id the gaol, and the great majority of them were
pefedli6 wfid had home from the union workhouses.
Mr. HAWES, M.P., expfesged eft opinion that the
nestles of the unions whence such persons came ought to
be reported, for he considered it disgraceful that such
estq.blishreente were not kept in a cleanly state.
The report Wag fiZeired:
The lieu. Mr. Rowe, the chaplain of the county gaol,
made an annual report, and after detailing the number
of prisoners that had passed through the gaol during that
period, he stated, that the extent of ignorance that pre-
ailed salon* them was almost surpassing belief—not
one-third of the whole number being able to read, and
out of 1,258 prisoners, male and female, only 304 were
able to repeat the Lord's Prayer and the Commandments.
The prisoners from the rural districts appeared to be
the most ignorant. They all, however, appeared anxious
to learn, and paid great attention to those who endea-
voured to give them instruction. The Rev. Gentleman,
in his report, went into a variety of statistical details
relative to the prisoners and the causes of crime, which
were listened to with considerable attention by the
Court,
Mr. HAWES moved that this report be printed, with a
view to its bring circulated among the magistrates of the
county.
The motion was carried unanimously.
Mr. SMALLPIECE, the county treasurer, made a report
of the state of the finances of the county. It appeared
that, from the last quarter, he had a balance of 9,059/.
ss. 11d., which was increased by other receipts to 10,099/.
Bs. Ild. He had since expended 14,5141., which sum
included a payment of 5,0001. on account of the lunatic
asylum. There were accounts outstanding to the amouet
of 12,972 L 3s. 11d., which would be chargeable upon
the rate now in collection. The rate would produce
about 18,0001., so that he should have a balance of abort
5,000/.
Colonel CHALLENOR observed that, on repairing the
gaols of the county, 1,8001. had been expended ; but the
accounts did not show that this was the amount sanc-
tioned by the Court. His impression was that 1,400/.
was the sum granted, but he had no means of ascer-
taining whether it was so or not. If it were the case,
400/. had been expended over the amount agreed to by
the Court. •

Quakers, and Separatists.
The RECORDER said that if Mr. Salomons made the
declaration as a Separatist, it would be sufficient under
the Act of Parliament to which he referred.
Mr. SALOMONS then referred to Ist and 2d of Victoria,
which was much more extensive in its proviso, and gave
the amplest scope to persons taking office to take any
oath which was binding on their conscience. Mr. Salo-
mons then referred to the various offices which he held,
and urged that it would be most illiberal if the City of
London were to reject him, when the Governments
of the country, of both parties, the Whigs in
the first instance, and the Conservatives, who followed
the example of the Whigs, seemed anxious to unite per-
sons of all denominations. It was Sir H. Peel's Govern-
ment which appointed Mr. Lonsada, a Jew, to serve in
the office of High Sheriff for the county of Devon•
shire. Sir Moses Montifiore also was appointed
a magistrate, and the Duke of Wellingtom
himself made him a magistrate of the Cinque Ports.
He hoped there would not be one mode of proceed-
ing in the city of London and a different one in the
rest of England. He would ask, whether it was
fair or right to press him to do that to which
he was conscientiously opposed as a man of honour ?
If the Court pressed him to take the declaration, he had
no hesitation in saying that he would sacrifice his ambi-
tion to his conscientious convictions ; but if he was
elected, it would be his object to do his duties in such a
manner as to confer honour on himself and the Court of
Aldermen.
Sir P. LAURIE said he had the highest respect for Mr.
Salomons, but he would advise the Court not to act con-
► trary to law. They were a Christian people, and csigia.

Mr. PUCKLE assured the Hon. Magistrate that the
estimates of the repairs had never been exceeded, and
in many cases they were below the amount granted by
the Court.

Colonel CRALLENOR said he had no doulr. that what
Mr. Puckle said was quite barrect ; but still he thought
they ought to have some means of seeing in the accounts
that, where a certain sum of money was allowed by the
Court for a specific purpose, no more was expliitled ;
and, as the guardians of the county purse, it was their
duty to do it.
Some routine business having been disposed of, the
Court then adjourned.

Mr. GUEENWOOD said a more abominable con-
spiracy to take away the character of a reliectable
tradesman he had never listened to. It was quite
plain that the whole trio were nothing but a set of
sharpers, who entered the house at a late hour hoping
they might find some inebriated persons there, whom
they could cheat out of their money. The allegation
of Mr. Haynes having stolen the watch he believed to
be a base falsehood. He did not believe one word of
what the two witnesses for the defence stated, and
should fine the prisoner 31., and the amount of damage
done to slr. Haynes' dress, or one month's imprison-
ment. —The money was paid at once.
