CITY AND BOROUGHS' POLL BILL.

On the motion of Colonel DAVIES, that the City and
Boroughs' Poll Bill be taken into further consideration,
Mr. BARING considered the alterations were in many
respects ♦ery objectionable, and therefore moved as an
amendment, that the Bill should be recommitted this day
six months.

Mr. ROBINSON believed the provisions of this Bill
would be inadequate in most cases of contested elections.
Mr. WM. SMITH could not consent to this mode of
passing by the Bill, which he felt was extremely desirable
in many of its regulations.

Lord LOWTfiElt felt himself called on to support the
itnendment.

Mr. Alderman WAITIIMAN recommended that the
system which had been found by the experience of fifty
years to work well in the city of London, should be taken
as the model for elections generally.
Mr. C. F. PALMER bore testimony to the corrupt
conduct of returning officers, who often canvassed, and
resorted to still more iniquitous practices to ensure the re-
turn of their favourite candidates. If he thought the
object of the measure was to increase the influence of those
officers, he would oppose it ; but as, o❑ the contrary, he
believed it would have the effect of checking their unfair
practices, he should give it his support, provided it re-
ceived in the Committee some of those alterations which he
thought necessary. Ile was particularly desirous to see
some measure carried into effect which would prevent the
mischievous protraction of elections.

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said it was impossible
to reduce this Bill into any shape in which he could sup-
port it. He therefore objected to it altogether.
Mr. C. W. WYNN was of opinion that the subject was
one peculiarly entitled to the consideration of the House.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER—If there
was one thing which the House should guard against more
than another, it was, that persons in particular statious
should not have the power to influence elections thereby.
When he saw the Bill giving additional power to that al-
ready possessed by the returning officers, he must withhold
his vote from it. He objected also to that part of the Bill
revecting separate polling booths. With respect to the
duration of polls, there were modes open and devices; under
the present Bill, by which voting might be retarded. He
was not disposed to object to lessening the duration of pulls
in general.

Mr. BARING observed that there were so many per-
sons of opinion that the Bill might be improved by further
consideration, that he should recommend the Hon. Mem-
ber to withdraw it.

After a few words from Mr. Strannii,
The SPEAKER put the question for his leaving the
chair ; when
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL observed that the Bill
had been ably debated, except by himself—(a laugh)—and
he did not think there was any need of further debate.
lie should move that the Speaker do not leave the Chair.
—(A laugh.)

The SPEAKER said that the Hon. and Learned Mem-
ber might vote against the question.
Dr. PHILLIMORE observed that the question for the
House to consider was, whether the Bill should be mcom-
witted.

After some further conversation, strangers were ordered
to withdraw. No division, however, took place, and the
Bill was ordered to be committed on Wednesday.
The LORD ADVOCATE obtained leave to bring in a
Bill on Wednesday, for regulating the mode of assuming
the title of Baronet in Scotland.

The other Orders of the Day were then disposed of, anal
the House adjourned at a Quarter to One.

ROYAL. NATIONAL MENAGERIE, EXETER
'CHANCE.-In consequence of the contemplated alterations
in the Strand, this scene of our earliest pleasures is to be
pulled down, but we trust only to rise, Phoenix-like, snore
glorious from its ruins, We will not for a moment sup-
pose that so magnificient a collection is doomed to be dis-
persed ! Never since its first foundation has the Menagerie
boasted so many rare and valuable specimens : a visit can-
not fail to be highly gratifying, and we earnestly recom-
mend an early one. The feeding time, at eight o'clock in
the evening, is particularly attractive ; then a closer idea
may be formed of that dreadful ferocity which renders them
so terrible in their native wilds.

The LORD CHANCELLOR will give a grand

LONDON,
TUESDAY EVENING, APRIL 1, 1828.

It will be perceived that Ministers last night re-
deemed their pledge of bringing forward the new
Corn Bill. So much space is occupied with the
debate on the Resolutions, which were submitted,
that we cannot at present enter into any lengthened
comments, but refer our readers to the speculations
of our cotemporaries, which will be found, as usual,
in another part of our Paper.
There is no doubt that the present Bill is inferior
in merit to that of last year, and Ministers have evi-
dently been warned by its fate to prepare one more
suited to the taste of the House of Lords. And,
indeed, after all, that may be considered as the
wisest policy which, instead of pursuing impracti-
cable perfection, accommodates itself to the resistance
of elements too well known to be in existence. Had
the Bill been better, it would inevitably have been
sent back by the Lords, and another year would
have passed over our heads, without any specific
value attached to land or to its produce.
We are, therefore, after all well pleased, that the
admirable principle of last year's Bill has been re-
tained, and that the scale of duties has not varied
sufficiently to satisfy the LETUBRIDGES and GOOCHES.
Two or three shillings here or there are of minor im-
portance—the agricultural and manufacturing inte-
rests can gradually accommodate themselves to a
standard of 60, or of 65 shillings. It is permanence
of price which is the desideratum—it is fluctuation
and instability which cause distress and ruin amongst
all classes of-society.

By the arrival of private letters this morning
from Malta we have received information which
leaves little doubt of the safety and arrival of the
Ann and Amelia transport at that island. Thk ves-
sel, it will be remembered, was stated to have been
lost on the coast of Portugal during the prevalence
of the late tempestuous gales. Government have as
yet received no tidings. But should this favourable
information prove correct, it will afford the highest
satisfaction to the numerous relatives of those who
were on hoard, as well as to the public in general.

Private letters from Hollaud, this morning, say,
that all the Foreign Funds there, particularly
Russian Bonds, are higher. Is this a stockjobbing
manoeuvre, or is the confidence :of the dealers so
strong in the power of Russia that they speculate
upon a rise in the funds ?

Dutch and German Papers have been received
this morning, but they contain no news of warlike
importance. The Dutch do not seem to appre-
ciate the system of free trade, except where it suits
their particular interests.

We have received no further Foreign news from
France since the arrival of the Gazette de France
yesterday afternoon by express.

The French Papers received this morning state
that LUCIEN BUONAPARTE is likely to visit this
country with his family shortly, and that he will
come to this country in the fine new American man-
of-war the Delaware, of 74 guns. This ship is
stated to have sailed on the 19th of February from
Hampton Roads, for the Mediterranean, having
LUCIEN BUONAPARTE and family on board as pas-
sengers.

By the last private letters received from Rio
Janeiro, the following are the private instructions
given to the privateers from Buenos Ayres by that
Government:—

" Considering as a state of blockade every port belonging
to the Brazilian Empire, consequently all provisions of
whatever kind, bound for said ports, are contraband, as
notified in the before-mentioned law."--Under the bead of
instructions, a second blockade of the Coast of Brazil is
established.

THE FUNDS-(THIS DAY).

CITY, TWELVE 0' CLOCK.

The generol appearance of the Stock market is not so
bright, or the quantity of business so extensive as yesterday,
neither have the reports which were so industriously cir-
culated, for the purpose of keeping up the Funds, been at-
tended by the same success. Consols opened at 841 a, but
in a short time declined to 84 it, and after being a shade
higher relapsed to the former quotation; they are now alter-
nately buyers and sellers at 841 ; the Commissioners gave
84k. Money continues abundant and India Bonds have
again taken a step to 93 4 pm. ; Exchequer Bills, 59 60.
The business transacting in the Foreign Fimds has been
rather slack up to the present hour; Danish Bonds are a
shade lower, being 604; 1 ; Russian are without alteration,
being 871 a ; and Portugese, 6112 ; in the South Ameri-
can Stocks there is no prominent feature to notice, and
prices seem to run much the same as yesterday ; Spanish
are 121. The only thing worthy of notice is a further ad-
vance in Brazilian Mines; the premium is now 51 2 for
money, and it seems extremely probable that a still further
advance will take place, not from any fresh intelligence
relative to the speculation, but owing to the state of the ac-
count itself.

IRISH CouRT.--The Private Ball at the
Castle, on Thursday evening, was on an extremely magni-
ficent scale, and most fashionably attended. Shortly after
ten o'clock the rooms were crowded to an almost unprece-
dented degree, comparatively with former similar occasions.
At half-past ten dancing commenced. At twelve the com-
pany retired to partake of a splendid supper.

LAW INTELLIGENCE-(TIIN -DAY.)

HOUSE OF LORDS.
LEIGH EREILAGE.

To day Mr. George Leigh brought forward his claim in
the House of Lords to the Barony of Leigh. Mr. Adams
and Mr. Kelly were his Counsel.

Mr. ADAMS opened the petition. He stated that he
appeared for Mr. George Leigh, late of Hindley, in the
County Palatine of Lancaster, who claimed the title of
Baron Leigh, of Stoneley, in the county of Warwick, which
was a title granted by Charles I. in the 19th year of his reign,
by letters patent, dated at Oxford, on the Ist of July, 1643,
to Sir Thos. Leigh, of Stoneley, and to the heirs male of
his body for ever. Sir Thos. Leigh, thus created Ist
Lord Leigh, had five sons; Christopher was the third sur-
viving son, who, it was alleged, had a son eallell Roger,
and from whom the petitioner claimed to be descended.—
The Learned Counsel felt it would be his duty to show that
the issue of the two first wens of Sir Thomas were all extinct,
which he thought he should have no difficulty in doing.
The first died in his infancy, the second died without issue.
Christopher married a Miss Cotton, by whom he had a
son called Roger, and to whom the petitioner claimed to
be connected. Ile alleged that he became entitled to the
Barony in 1806 ; but that from untoward circum-
stances connected with his family, he had not been
able instanter to prosecute his claim ; but during this
interval he had been collecting as much evidence
as was in his power. His first application to the
Attorney-General was not considered sufficiently strong ;
he presented therefore, another petition to him, and
upon that occasion he reported, dated the 25th day
of April, 1826, that if the facts stated in the
petition could be substantiated by evidence, in
his opinion the petitioner's claim to the peerage would be
established, and upon that recommended the present peti-
tion to be presented to his Maiesty. The Learned Coun-
sel considered his principal difficulty would be in establish-
ing by evidence the marriage of Christopher, third son of
Sir Thomas Leigh, with Miss Cotton, (his first wife, for
he had afterwards another, Constance Cleatt,) and the birth
of Roger, his eldest 60D. Miss Cotton was a descendant of
Sir G. Cotton, of Cumberland, and an application was made
to Lord Combermere to know if he could furnish any evi-
dence of the marriage : his Lordship replied that he recol-
lected, from Laving seen an ancient pedigree of his family,
that a Leigh had married the daughter of his ancestor, Sir
George Cotton, but in consequence of the absence of
Lord Combermere that pedigree could not now be pro-
duced. This circumstance was only mentioned in order to
remove any impression from their Lordships' minds that
there had been any lack of willingness on the part of the
petitioner to make every possible research in every way
calculated to hring any light upon the question. The next
point to which attention was to be directed was
the register of marriage. The most likely time at which
the marriage of Christopher with Miss Cotton could have
taken place was about the years 1641 or 1645, and with
this view the Register Book of the parish of Wrenbury,
in which Combermere Abbey is situated, was searched,
but though the entries appeared to be in excellent pre-
servation at about that period, yet there was an entire
obliteration of the entries from 1641 to 1650. So again
with respect to the register-book of baptisms, there were
chasms in it, front 1644 to 1617, and from 1648 to 1665,
the latter interval being just the period at which in all
probability the son, from whom the claimant alleged he
had descended, was born.

It was now suggested that it would be convenient to
examine the Crown-officer, who was in attendance, as he
had to go elsewhere. _ _

Mr. Poynter was then called, and produced the docket-
book, in which there was an entry of Sir Thomas Leigh's
patent. _ _ _

Caustum had searched the Petty Bag and Rolls
Chapel Offices, but had not found an enrolment of the
patent.

This witness did not appear to Lave made a satisfactory
search, though it was supposed the enrolment might not
have been made, and a more diligent searel► was directed.

Mr. Anams resumed his address. The chasms he had
been alluding to, were the more extraordinary from there
having been found ass official certificate, from the In-
eumbrancer of the time being to the Diocesan Cot.rt at
Lichfield, that the registers were complete from a certain
year to another given year, the intervening period between
those tars overriding the chasms alluded to. Then,
too, with regard to the evidence of monu-
mental inscriptions down to the year 1811, or
1812, there was a tablet in the Church of the parish
to the memory of Christopher Leigh; on which was
inscribed his marriage with Miss Cotton, the birth of his
son Roger, anti his second =triage with Miss Cleatt.
This monument was taken down at the above period,
when the Church was undergoing repairs, and had not
since found its way into the Church. It was alleged to have
been removed at the request of the present Mr. and Mrs. Leigh
upon the estate, and deposited in a wine-cellar in the Ab-
bey. There were a vast number of witnesses, however,
perfectly well prepared to prove that they had, times with-
out number, seen and read the inscription; and also the
workmen, that they distinctly recollected removing it
from the wall of the church. This train of apparent
unfortunate circumstances rendered it impossible for the
Learned Counsel to lay before their Lordships the evidence
that was usual in a case like this; but he had no doubt from
the witnesses he should call, and the documents Le meant
to bring forward, their Lordships would feel perfectly
satisfied that Christopher was the third son of Sir Thomas ;
that the two former died without issue, and that Roger
was the son of Christopher. When this was shown there
would not be the slightest difficulty in establishing the
claimant's connection with Roger, and therefore he would
proceed immediately to call his witnesses.
Mr. Adam, from the Petit Bag Office, examined by Mr.
Anam.—l produce the writ of summons sued out in 1673
to Thomas Lord Leigh, to sit in Parliament.
The Rev. Archibald Charles Henry Morrison, examined
by Mr. KELLY. —I am curate of the parish of Stoneley,
in Warwickshire, and I produce the register of the
burials in that parish. I produce a register of the burial
of the first Lord Leigh, in 1671.
Sir J. ScautArr said he appeared there on behalf of
Mr. Chandos Leigh, who was the owner of the family
estate, and he wished to know whether, under their Lord-
ships' order, he was authorised to cross-examine the wit-
ness:2s.

Lord SRA FTESBURY.—The order of the House expressly
states, that you are to be at liberty to cross-examine any
witness or witnesses you may think lit.
Cross-examined by Sir J. SCARLETT.—The family of
Leigh are impropriators of the parish of Stoneley, and own-
ers of the chancel of the church. The chancel
is very large in comparison with the rest of the
Church. There are now four Monuments of the Leigh
family in the Chancel—namely, those of the first Lord
Leigh, the Duchess of Dudley, the last Lord Leigh, and
the Hon. Mrs. Mary Leigh, the sister of the last Lord.
The monument of Mrs. Mary Leigh was the last put up,
before that time there was abundance of room in the chan-
cel for several monuments of the family, if they had
wished to put up any.
By Lord I'EDI:snALE.—The monument of the Duchess
of Dudley is viewed by strangers as a curiosity, and has been
viewed by several persons.

Re-examined by Mr. KELLY.—I know that Chris.
topher was the third son of the first Lord Leigh, and I un-
derstand, that he is buried in the family vault, but I cannot
speak positively to that fact, as I have. never seen the inte-
rior of the vault.

Mr.lAnam.-1 (now propose, my Lords, to prove the
the death of John, the eldest son of the first Lord Leigh.
Henry Kent Causton produced a copy of an inscription
upon a monument erected by the first Lord Leigh, in 1670,
in
which Sir J. Leigh was stated to be the eldest son of the
first Lord and Lady Alice, his wife.
Cross-examined by Mr. ATTORNEY-GENERAL.—This
monument, when I copied it in 1824, was lying in a
vault recently erected. It appeared to have been taken
down from the place in which it had originally stood, but
I don't recollect having ever seen it in the Chancel. It
appeared to me to have been fixed up against a wall rather
than on the pavement. I think it was fixed originally
over the vestry door. There were four other monuments
of the Leigh family in the Chancel, on the north side of it.
By Sir JAMES SCARLETT.—I am a printer, and have,
caaried on business in London for the last twenty-five
years. I had one of my soas at school at Wigan, in
Lancashire, in the year 1814. I am no relation of the
claimant, but I sin concerned as plaintiff in an action of
ejectment, brought to recover the estate of. the Leigh
family. I was compelled to be a plaintiff in that action,
because I am one of the assignees of the claimant, who was
discharged under the Insolvent Debtors' Act ; I am a large•
creditor of 'the claimant, who had no profession or occupa-
tion.i He was my debtor for money lent. That money s still

saw it in Coventry, on my return from the north of Eng-
land to London. There was another hand-bill offering
reward of 101. for a copy of the inscription of the monument.
tssist
but that was not printed in my office. I attended as a wit:
l'ne4s for the claimant before Lord Gillett] in the sprint
of 1822, which was after the circulation of the hand. bill.
There were witnesses produced before Lord Gifford 4

prove the existvw of that monument ; I did not conduct
that investigation, but I furnisher) money for defraying the
expences of it. Previously to that investigation before
Lord Gifford, I did not examine the witnesses about the
existence of the monument. To the best of my recollec-
tion there were seven or eight witnesses examined before
Lord Gifford by the Lord Chancellor. The affidavits be—
fore Lord Gifford were not, I think, in nay hand-writing.
Cross-examination resumed— I did not employ any
solicitor to conduct that investigation. The person em-
ployed was Mr. Bankes. When I last heard of him be
had just returned from America. I never employed Mr.
Manning in this business, but I have heard from the claiAl-
ant that Mr. Manning was employed in it. Mr. Maiming
resides, in London, I believe. The witnesses before Lord
Gifford gave evidence as to the inscription on the monu-
ment. I saw some of those witnesses at Coventry, where
I staid several days fur the purpose of getting information
respecting this Peerage. This is the first claim I have
been engaged in.

By the Lean CtrANcaLrott—The money due from the
claimant to me, is for the expenses of this claim. It is
upwards of 1001.

evidenceßyi
given before
Lord Gifford, as to the inscription, was amended after his
Lordship had made his report. According to Lord Gif-
ford's opinion, the evidence as to the inscription upon the
monument was not sufficient to support the claimant's ti.
tle ; but some evidence, which was not laid before Lord
Gifford was afterwards added. None of the witnesses
have received the reward of 100 guineas, nor are they to
receive that reward, because none of them could produce
a copy of the inscription, and the reward was offered for
a copy.

By Lord LA UDERDALE.---1 don't recollect having seen
more than one copy of the band-bill at Coventry.
By the Lord CHANCEI.I.OR.-The handbill has not my
i
name as printer on t ; the name is sometimes omitted ;
know that it is illegal to do so. It is likely that the mo-
tive for omitting my name was to conceal my being the
printer of the handbill.
By Mr. ADAM—Whatever may Lave been the motive
of the party who procured the printing of that bill, I
had nothing to do with it. None of the Gentlemen who
now conduct this cause had any connexion with it at the
time the handbill was printed, or when I advanced money
to make out the claim.

By Lord REDESDALE—The solicitors now employed are
Goren and Price. I discontinued Bankers but be would
no doubt give a different account of the transaction, and
say, that he discontinued having any thing to do with me.
By the LORD CHANCELLOR—I have heard of Bankei
having been lately iu Scotland, but 1 don't know where
Lie is to be found.

By Mr. ADAM-1 discontinued Bankes for an affair of
some money, in which I did not like his conduct.
By Lord REDESPALE—Bankes said, as 1 have beard,
that he had an extinguisher to put on this claim, but 1
never heard that he said so before I discontinued hig services.

Sir *Limn Scam-I:Tr put in the hand-bill as part of his
evidence, and said be should by and by state to their Lord-
ships where he found it.
By Sir JANES SCARLETT-Mr. Corbet was connected
with this case up to February last, when Messrs. Goren
and Price were employed.
By the ATTORNEY-GENERAL.—A person named Burns
said he would take up the claim ; but he afterwards gave it
up, because he did not like going to the expense at-
tending it.

By the LORD CHANCELLOR.---I am not at the expense
of this inquiry, nor have I pledged myself in any way as a
security for the expenses.

By Lord RiDESDALL—I have not advanced any money
to the claimant for snore than 12 months past.
By the LORD CHANCELLOR.-11 the claimant succeeds
in getting this property and title, 1 expect to be paid what
he owes me ; but if he dots nut succeed in getting the
property, I don't think I shall ever be paid my advances,
which are between 1,200/. and 1,00/.
By Lord REDESDALV—This hill was put upon Walker's
house ; but I don't think that Walker, from his situation
in liib, is able to advance any money to the claimant. 1
have heard that a person who supplies the funds for this
proceeding is Mr. Evans, a Manchester warehouseman, in
Ilacklershury. 1 don't know that any person has promised to
indemnify hint fur what he Las advanced. 1 have nut
promised to indemnify him, Evans did not to my know-
ledge advance auy money in the early stages of the in-
quiry. No money to my knowledge was obtained by the
claimant from the tenants of the Stoneley estate.
By the ATTORNEY-GENERAL—There are assignment
of Stoneley Abbey under the Insolvent Debtors' Act.—
(A laugh.)

By the Loan CHANCELLOR—I don't live in Bucklers-
bury. I live very near it. I have heard of a person of
the name of Long, as likely to assist the claimant, but I
don't know what he is.

By the ArroaNEY-Gxxxitat.—Upon my oath, I don't
know of any contribution from the tradesmen employed
to furnish Stoneley Abbey, in the event of the claimant'.
success. I never heard of such a thing.
By the LORD CHANCJELLOU-1 am joint assignee with
Mr. Barnes, of Oxford-street, to whom the claimant Wall
indebted 701., but I have no connection whatever with
Mr. Barnes.

By Lord REnitSDALE—I don't know the exact amount
of the claimant's debts when he was discharged by the
Insolvent Debtors' Court.

By the ATTORNEY..GENFRAL.--.-1 have printed the cases
new before the House.

By Lord LAUDERDALE-I have never been paid for
printing them. Your Lordships may consider that by
printing these cases I have made sonic advance to the .
claimant.

By the Log D C
HANCELLOR—EVart9 i 3 not to pay like
fur them.

The LORD CH ANCELLOR said, when we bear more of
this case, we can again examine this witness. In the mean
time let him stand down.

Mr. Wahnesley produced the Journals of the House,
stating that Thomas Lord Leigh sat, in that House in
Jantiaiy, 1673, upon the decease of his grandfather, the
first Lord Leigh.

Mr. Morrison produced the baptismal register of
Thomas, the 4011 of Thomas, Lord Leigh, end Eleanor
his wife, dated February, 1682.
Mr. ADAM—That Thomas I shall prove died without
issue, by showing that his next brother, Edward, rat in
that House.

Mr. Walmesley produced the Journals, from which it
appeared, that ou the 17th of March, 1710, Edward Lord
Leigh sat in Parliament upon the death of his father,
Thomas Lord Leigh.
Mr. Thomson produced the Burial Register of the
parish of Stoneley, from which it appeared that Edward
Lord Leigh died on the 17th of March, 1737, and that his
son Edward died on the 9th of August, 1737.
George James Massey, from the Prerogative Court, pro-
duced the original will of Edward Lord Leigh, in which
Edward was stated to be his eldest son, and Thomas his
youngest son.

Mr. Wahnesley produced the journals of the I-louse,
from which it appeared that in the month of January,
1739, Thomas, the fourth Lord Leigh, took his
seat in Parliament on the death of his father Edward, who
was third Lord Leigh.
After some evidence of no importance, the fui they con-
sideration was then adjourned to Tuesday, the `?9th of
