WILLIAM BICKHAM,) Members of the Finance
SAMUEL LEES, Committee.
WILLIAM RAWSON, Treasurer.
Examined and found to be correct,
NVILLIAM EVAN S, Nleinber of the Council.
The report was receiv'ed with lcr.d applause.
Mr. Alderman CALLENDER moved that the accounts
were satisfactory, and be approved.—(Cheers.) He had
been connk cted with the League from its commence-
ment. There aas not a single farthing, except petty
cash, expended without a vote of the Committee. There
was not a farthing expended without full value received.
They were now in sight of the accomplishment of the
great measure which they wished to see repealed, and
there was no measure which to sueh an extent promised
to forward holiness, godliness, and homely comfort to
the pe,,ple of this country.—(Cheer.)
LAURENCE lIEYWORTII, Esq., of Liverpool, in second-
ing the motion, said that he was one. of fifty gentlemen
who guaranteed 1,0001. each two years ago. He had
paid more than a thousand pounds. Would it become
them, now that they were in sight of their much-to-be-
desired ohjeet, to be silent ? No ; it would ill-be•
come Englishmen. They must not only get that, but
they must also give the franchise to the bulk of the
people. These things could not be done without funds,
and the meeting must come forward liberally. The
aristocracy even would be enriched by free trade. Had
not trade been unprecedentedly profitable during the
last twelve months, in consequence of the cheapness of
bread? lie appealed to every gentleman present to say
whether that was not the fact.

The Chairman put the motion, which passed unani-
mously.
Mr. Alderman NxILD moved a resolution to the effect
that the meeting, composed of the merchants, traders, and
other manufacturers of Manchester, repeated their so-
lemn protest against the laws which prohibit the free im-
port-tion of grain and other provisions, believing them
to be opposed to the interests not only of the people of
the masufacturing classes, but also of the agricultural
interest, and pledging itself not to relax in its exertions
to support the League. He considered that they bad
gained a great morel victory upon this question. Had
the corn-laws been abolished by a mere numerical vote
of the House of Commons in six or twelve months, the
victory would not have been so great. After an earnest
appeal to the meeting to support the League, he said that
if the corn-laws were onee repealed, every man must
know that they were abolished for ever. He called
upon the meeting to show that the men of Manchester
were in earnest upon this momentous question.
Mr. H. ASHTON, of Hyde, seconded the resolution,
which passed amidst great cheering.
Mr. H. ASHWORTH, of Bolton, moved a resolution, ex-
pressing the greatful sense in which the meeting viewed
the exertions of the National Anti-Corn-law League in
the cause of freedom of trade ; and, in order to enable
the council to make renewed and increased exertions, a
subscription of 250,000/., be entered into.—(Loud
cheers.) He had seen a subscription of twelve millions
entered into for the purpose of saving an hour in the
distance between London and Manchester, and he called
upon the meeting to come forward with their subscrip-
tions towards the funds of the League. He dwelt upon
the necessity of the League turning their attention to
the registration courts. No man had suffered any in-
jury from the purchase of a freehold, for he could get
greater interest from his investment than he could get
from the savings' banks. They had once seen the ports
open—not to let in grain, but to let it out. The Govern-
ment had sent out doctors, not to repeal the corn-laws,
but to see whether they could convert rottenness into
glutin.
Alderman KERSHAW seconded the motion, observing
that he had known the League wLen it was no bigger
than a man's hand, and he could truly say that no insti-
tution so much de,erved public support. He rejoieed to
see the importance of the meeting duly appreciated by
the people of Manchester, who had met once more, and,
as he understood, once for all, to express their
disgust and disapproval of the laws which affected
the industry of the people.—(Loud cheers.) He
believed this would be the last time that the League
would appeal to the people, and he never subscribe d
money with so much pleasure as to the fund of the
League, for he considered it the best investment which
he could make.—(Cheers.) They must back their
friends who bad to meet a band of monopolists in the
House of Commons. They must attend to the registra-
tion of counties, and the late of those laws was sealed for
ever.—(Loud cheers.)
A motion for a subscription was then agreed to.
The CHAIRMAN said he would set the example. For
himself and brothers he would subscribe 1,0001
(Tremendous cheers.) Last time they gave 5001. He
understood that twenty-five gentlemen would do the
same.—(Loud applause.)

nounced :

Mr. COBDEN, who was received with the most deafen-
ing plaudits, which lasted several minutes, addressed
the meeting as follows :—Two years ago, when we held
a meeting in the small room adjoining, and when 14,0001
was subscribed to th:, great League fund, an influential
Lond..n paper designated us, in its own graphic mode,
" a great fact." Now, Gentlemen, 1 believe to-day our
subscription already amounts to upwards of 50,0001., and
that, I suppose, may be designated a still greater fact.—
(Cheers.) Without the slightest exaggeration (we are
apt, in addressing public meetings, sometimes to ex-
aggerate a little), I believe I may say that this meeting,
in the middle of the day, on a market-day, in Manchester,
is unprecedented in its numbers and the influential cha•
meter of the individuals who compose it.—(Cheers.)
I take it, no one will dispute that the amount subscribed
in this room to-day far surpasses any subscription ever
entered into in one room for any public object whatever.
—(Cheers.) I em glad to witness altogether the tone of
this meeting. There has not been the slightest reference
made to the changes that have been going on at Govern-
ment head-quarters almost as rapidly as the entrances and
exits of pantomime on the stage. We have not lost our
time by speculating on what this or that Administration
is wing to do for us ; we have resorted to a much safer
mode of defending ourselves.—(Cheers.) This meeting
will afford to any Administration the best possible sup-
port in cirryirg out our principles. If Sir Robert Peel
has an intelligible and straighttorward course to pursue
—if he will promulgate plainly and candidly that he
purposes fully to carry out the principles of free-trade—
if he will oily avow his determination to practise what
he preaches, he will see there is strength enough in the
country to support him ; and I am sure I should not be
speaking the voice of this great meeting did I nut say
that if he skia take that straightforward and honest
course he will have the suppert of the League as fully
and as cordially as any other Prime Minister her Ma-
jesty could appoint.—(Laud cheers.) This subscription
has been entered into by all present without a full ex-
planation of what mode we intend to adopt in collecting
it, or how we intend to apply it, and I am glad the money
has been put down without that explanation, inasmuch
as it shows that you are determined, at all events, what-
ever comes, that funds shall not be wanting to fight the
battle. But, as what passes here will be read by our
friends throughout the country, and with interest through-
out the world, it is quite right that we should explain
the plan we have in view in calling for this large sum.
We are not bankrupts—as you have heard, we have a
sum of money in hand ; but we who take a prominent
part in the executive department of the League wished
to have the assurance that, however much this battle
may be prolonged, however obstinate the resistance
that may be offered to our just demands, there is a de-
termination ii, the coui:try to back our exertions with
adequate funds.—(Cheers.) I knew, Gentlemen, w e
ahoutd have your support ; I never doubted it. I would
not have given 1 per cent. to any one to guarantee me
the full awount of the quarttr of a million when we
called for it.—(Cheers.) The plan that has been pro-

posed. is this :—To eall for an instalment of 903 per C#ll
on this subscription at once, and the rest when neces-
sary. You are as well able to judge ;is lam whether it
be likviy that the curl:est will he prolonged beyond ano-
ther. session. For my own part, I think that our oppo-
nents (with any sense of prod. nee or policy— I mear
with regard to their own interests) cannot carry it on
beyond the next session. I don't believe they will find
men of intellect sufficient to lead them and undertake, the
departments of the Government to maintain this sty-stem.
—(Cheers.) It is quite clear that the Queen has been
wanting servants simply because none could be found
worthy to serve her Majesty, and willing- to do the work
of the Duke of Richmond.—(Clicers.) We are go-
verned in this country nut by enlightened men like
Lord John Russell, or Sir Robert Peel, or Sir James
Graham, fit to take office and serve the Queen and the
country—we are governed by the ignorance of the coun-
try—we have an inert mass of landlord political power to
deal with, impervious to reason, inaccessible to argument,
and unconscious of defeat in argument, or they would not
have resisted us so long as they have done. The
monopolist landlords of this country receguise but ene
power—the power of force. They will yield to nothing
but pevver, and that post er you have armed es with by
the subscriptions of this day.—(Cheers.) I have said I
think it would be wise in them to yield next session ;
but let us tell them what we are prepered to do if they
do not yield honestly.—(Cheers.) Allusion has been
made to day instinctively, by all the speakers almost, to
the necessity of increasing our exertions in the c: unty
registrations. The cenety qualification is the leverage
by which we can svlio.l7 overturn the ignorant authority
of the se monopolist landlords—(Cheers)—by which one
ein transfer the power from the Duke of Richmond, and
the Duke of Norfolk, and their peers, to the intelligent,
middle, and ieidu,trious classes of the towns of this
country.—(Chi ers.) I have no hesitation in telling
them, and I think they will now believe what I say, when
backed by such a demonstration as this, that if they
resist the settlement of this question—if the next session
does not bring this question to a just settlement, we will
plant our registration agents in every county in the
kingdom—(Cheers)—and I pledge myself, from a long
study of the subject and a wide investigation of it. that
in less than three years from this time, armed with the
funds you have placed at our dispos el, I can unseat 100
monopolist county members, and place in their stead
men who will vote in accordance with the interests of
the great body of the people, instead of the interests of an
ignorant class.--(Cheers.) They know what I am telling
them to be true ; they have felt it already ; and I have
no hesitation in saying that the speedy settlement of this
question will he brought about (more by the demonstra-
tion we have already made in the counties, and the suc-
cess which has atteeded our efforts in four or five of the
most important of them, than by anything else we have
ever done or attempted to do.—(Loud cheers.) Gentle-
men, as we are here speaking to our friensis all over the
country, I should wish just to add a remark upon the
mode in which this subscription must be raised. Many
of our friends elsewhere may probably expect that Mr.
Bright and I Might be in a position to pay them a suc-
cession of visits, us we did two years ago, and hold
public meetiegs throughout the country, and fttsist them
in making their subscriptions ; but that is, unfortunately,
impossible. Mr. Bright and myself can be nue bete
so serviceable for the next six months its in the House

of Commons, and as it is not in our power to visit our
friends elsewhere, I hope, and feel coiiiident, when they
see how Manchester, at one meeting, has subscribed a
quarter of the whole sum required, they will, in other
places, by their own spontaneous exertions, make up the
remainder.—(Cheers.) I may add, that I have not can-
vaesed a single individual for one farthing of this sub-
scription ; therefor e, so far as I am concerned, gentlemen
have come forward in this noble manner without any
personal trouble to myself. I mention this that others
may mark the spirit which has prevailed here, and
act themselves accordingly.—(Cheers.) There is another
point to which, in all frankness, I must allude. It is the
opinion of many sanguine minds that this question must
now be settled within the next two or three months ; I
am not so sanguine, although I don't see how the• mono-
polists can tide over another session ; but we mast be
prepared for all accidents. These sanguine friends, how-
ever, may ask, " Shall we be liable to pay all this money
we have put down our names for if the corn-laws are
abelished in the meanwhile ?" It is quite fair that the
most explicit understanding should be had on that
point. Our object in associating together was to procure
the abolition of the corn and provision laws, and of this
we believe there is but one fair and candid interpreta-
tion—we meant corn, we meant beef, butter, cheese—in
short, we meant the primary elements of human subsist-
ence grown on our own soil.—(Cheers.) We said, " We
don't want a league to put down the sugar or coffee mo-
nopoly," feeling assured that the landowners themselves,
stimulated by a sense of their own interests, would do
all that for us, when once we deprived them of their
own monopoly.—(Loud cheers.) The total abrogation
of the corn and provision laws would at once dissolve
this League, and altogether exonerate every gentleman
from any further claim to contribute to its funds.—
(Loud cheers.) I think it may be useful to some of our
Imost candid opponents that they should know that
now. It has been reported that this is a body seeking
anarchical objects ; that we want to do away with
primogeniture; that we want to root up the Church;
that we are opposed to all law and constituted authority
in the country; bat I defy our opponents to find in the
House of Lords itself a body of men so interes ed in
public order, so identified with the maintenar.ce of our
institutions, as the body of capitalists 1 see before me in
this room.—(Cheers.) We have no such objects. Our
object is bond fide. We are united fer one object; we
are a rope of sand on any other question. Mr. Bright,
Mr. Wilson, and myself, differing on a di zen other ques-
tions, are united for this only, and therefore I tell the
monopolist landlords, who are afraid of what we are
doing in the counties, if they think this may go on to
more than corn—if they think the qualification we are
now procuring may be good fir other questions as well
as corn, they may now stop and dissolve us by the aboli-
tion of the corn laws.—(Loud cheers.) But if they want
to keep alive this association—if they want to give some
of those gentlemen among us who have ulterior objects,
and I don't know but there may be some who have—if
they want to give them the power of keeping our bond of
union intact, then they must keep up some wretched rag
of their system of monopoly.--(Cheers.) If Sir Robert
Peel wants to root out his friends in the counties more
than they are, let him come down to the House
of Commons with some new " dodge at the opening
of the session.—(Load cheers.) We say distinctly we
will have no conditions.—(Long continued cheering.)
If they ask us to pay for the abolition of the curn-lawa
by a grant of money, by traneferring their taxes to our
shoulders, if they can find any they pay exclusively, we
say, " You have been challenged to show your peculiar
burdens, and uniformly ran away. We ask you to show
us one tax you pay which we do not, and we in return
will undertake to show five taxes we pay from which you
have exempted "yourselves."—(Cheers.) They have
abolished the duty on your yarn. By far the largest
industry of all your manufacturing processes is the spin-
ning of cotton yarn. The 10 per cent. duty On that
article was abolished last year ; as if Sir R. Peel
wanted to furnish a strong argument against the corn-
laws, he did away with the 10 per cent. which some might
have considered a protection to you, in order that we
might say we .ball not allow the agriculturists to have
protection at our expense.—(Cheers.) We say, then, we
will have no conditions, no qualifications.—(Cheers.)
Let this matter be settled fairly and justly,without terms
or compromise, and the League is abolished.—(Cheers.)
Bear in mind, if we talk of compromise or concession, we
will admit that the corn-laws have been a benefit
to those who have maintained them ; that I
altogether deny.—(Loud cheers.) I challenged their
advocates twice is the House of Commons, but
they dared not go into committee, for I could
have prove I from the mouths of the best agriculturists
they have never been a benefit to either "farmer
or landlord.—(Cheers.) We do not proceed on the nar-
row basis that this question is one merely affecting our
interests, We say that the land of this country main-
tains a value only in proportion to our wealth, and the
prosperity of manufactures and commerce ; and to ad-
mit that the core-law had been beneficial to its upholders,
to come to any terms of compromise, would be to give
up our whole case.—(Cheers.) I cannot say how
proudly I feel in being surrounded here by a body of
men prepared to make such magnanimous sacrifices to
the cause of free-trade.—(Cheers.) You have been
complimentary to us for the exertions we have made ;
but we should have been nothing without the magnificent
support you have given us.— (Cheers.) I cannot help
feeling gratification at this movement, which has taught
the leading men in this country—the most useful and
important in the kingdom—the power the% possess ; and
I hope they will use it to elevate themselves in the social
scale.—(Cheers.) You, Gentlemen, are not promoting
any narrow interest—you are promoting the cause of
the whole kingdom, of the whole world—(Cheers)--and
in carrying out your principles Manchester will hereafter
be recognised as the birthplace, the cradle of free-trade.
As Jerusalem is identified with the origin of our faith,
as Mecca is with that of the Nlahomedan, so in history
will Manchester be recognised as the birthplace and spring
of that great movement, the greatest since the invention
of printing, which will have the greatest effect in the
world's history of any struggle that ever took place in the
annals of civilisation —(Loud and vehement cheering.)
Mr. BRIGHT, M.P., then said—l am at a loss for words
to express the delight which I feel at the event which
takes place this morning in this town. I am surrounded
by some gentlemen who have attended meetings in Man-
chester f'er the last thirty or forty years, and they have
never met in their experience any circumstance of a
public character in this town at all to be compared with
that which we have all here witnessed. No man here-
after can say there was anything unsubstantial or insin-
cere in the character of the great movement with which
we are connected. Past meetings have demonstrated that
we are in earnest, and, if confirmation were necessary,
wu have now read that confirmation in the fact of these
suuseriptions, It is a fact which will ti II most power-
fully on public opinion, and most powerfully also on the
decision at which the now-forming Cabinet must spee-
dily arrive.—(Hear, hear.) We have told the world that
trade in this district is resolved no longer to work in
fetters ; that we are determined to emancipate our in-
dustry and ourselves. We are held to be valuable as
creators of wealth, and held specially valuable by the
most powerful class in the kingdom so long as we will
create wealth for that class to enjoy ; but the moment
we raise ourselves and look up from the circumstances of
suffering and oppression in which we are placed, then
that class and its organs in the press heap slander and
obloquy upon every person connected with manufactures
in this part of the country. I have in my hand two
extracts, which I am desirous of reading to the meeting,
to show what is the feeling with which we are regarded
by that class with whom we are now coming into serious
collision. On the 16th of this month a morning paper,
—supposed to be, assuming to be to some extent, the
organ of the late Ministry, and hoping also, I presume,
to be the organ of the present Government—the Morn-
ing. Herald—(Hisses)—published the following para-
i graph:--" It may he, however, that Sir It. Peel contem-
plates the accompaniment of a modification of the

MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS.
CITY, TUESDAY EVENING.
TIMES.—It will be seen that, notwithstanding the
warlike tone of the American President's message, the
Funds hare risen to-day. The market, however, is in a
complex position, which renders it a very imperfect test
of the general feeling on this subject. Sales, not only of
English, but of foreign stocks, railway, and other se-
curities, of all kinds, have been proceeding systemati-
cally for five or six weeks past ; and, as a very large
proportion of these were speculative sales, or sales made
with the intention of reinvesting at a lower price. there
is found suddenly a scarcity of the article when wanted
for delivery or for re-purchase. The return of Sir R.
Peel to power seems so exclusively to have occupied
the attention of capitalists as to have prevented their
thinking of anything else, and a more agreeable feel-
ing on the score of public credit has been diffused by
observing that the late abstraction of bullion from the
Bank of England has arisen, not through its exprta•
tion to the continent, but for a domestic purpose—the
supply of the Scotch and Irish banks. Money, of which
there has never been any real scarcity, is now offered,
as confidence returns, more freely on all sides ; and as
all are for the moment more inclined to buy public se-
curities than to sell them, they follow the course which
is usual, under such circumstances, to all markets. The
full effect of the doubtful relations which have arisen be-
tween ;this country and America will probably not be
seen until the message has been read and considered
among capitalists generally. For the present the mere
state of the market, as above described, prevents any re-
action.
The position of the English securities continues ex-
ceedingly promising for the speculators who have ope-
rated for the rise. The advance in Consols was about
one per cent. on the actual bargains of the day.
In the Foreign Market prices were well supported.
The announcement from Messrs. Baring of the suspen-
sion of the remittances by the Buenos Ayrean Govern.
ment on account of the dividends of that stock caused
no alteration in its value. Spanish was steady, as was
also Mexican.
There was not much business transacted in the Foreign
Exchanges to-day. The rates for bills upon Amsterdam,
Paris, Vienna, and Trieste, were rather higher than last
post. Hamburgh remained about the same.
The premium on gold at Paris is 111 per milk,
which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 100. per
ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 1,5
43 ; and the exchange at Paris on London at short
being 25 57k, it follows that gold is 0.57 per cent.
dearer in London than in Paris.
By advices from Hamburgh the price of gold is 433 k
per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 3/.175. 10id.
per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13 9i-;
and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at shoe t
being 13 10i, it follows that gold is 0.69 per cent. dearer
in London than in Hamburgh.
One of the morning papers in citing the will of the
late Mr. Irving, the head of the firm Reid, Irving, and
Co., has described his personal property as swol'n under
30,000/. ; the real amount, however, should have been
300,000/. Of the large estates, which he was so
well-
known to possess, no mention is of course made in taking
out probate of the will.
The President's message, irrespective of that portion
which relates to the Oregon territory, and which is more
or less important so all classes of readers, contains a
greater number of topics interesting to the commercial
and monetary circles of London than any similar docu-
ment that has appeared for several years.
The declaration respecting the tariff is, as far as it
goes, thought satisfactory, since it shows a disposition
to a more liberal policy than that represented by the
tariff of 1842. The illustration of what is meant by a
revenue duty, as distinguished from a protective duty, is
considered so clear and well put as to be worth quoting:--
" It becomes important to understand distinctly w hat
is meant by a revenue standard, the maximum of which
should not be exceeded in the rates of duty imposed. It
is conceded, and experience proves, that duties may be
laid so high as to diminish or prohibit altogether the im-
portation of any given article, and thereby lessen or de-
stroy the revenue which, at lower rates, would be de-
'rived from its importation. Such duties exceed the
revenue rates, and are not imposed to raise money for
the support of Government. If Congress levy a duty
for revenue of 1 per cent, on a given article, it will pro-
duce a given amount of money to the treasury, and will
incidentally and necessarily afford protection or advan-
tage to the amount of 1 per cent. to the home manufac-
turer of a similar or like article over the importer. If
the duty be raised to 10 per cent., it will produce a
greater amount of money, and afford greater protection.
If it be still raised to 20, or 25, or 30 per cent., and
it; as it is raised, the revenue derived from it is found to be
increased, the protection or advantage will also be in-
creased ; but if it be raised to 31 per cent., and it is found
that the revenue produced at that rate is less than 30
per cent„ it ceases to be a revenue duty. The precise
point in the ascending scale of duties at which ft is ewer •
tained from experience that the revenue is greatest, is
the maximum rate of duty which can be laid for the bola
fide purpose of collecting money for the support of Go-
vernment. To raise the duties higher than that point,
and thereby diminish the amount collected, is to levy
them for protection merely, and not for revenue. As
long, then, as Congress may gradually increase the rate
of duty on a given article, and the revenue is increased
by such increase of duty, they are within the revenue
standard. When they go beyond that point, and, as they
increase the duties, the revenue is diminished cr de-
stroyed, the act ceases to have for its object the raising
of money to support Government, but is fur protection
merely.'
above definition Polk explains that it does not follow from the
o
definition that Congress is always to levy the
highest duty
which articles will bear. The adoption of
the revenue standard therefore, will still leave open a
wide margin, so that the exact principle of future modi-
fications remains undetermined. Indeed, throughout
the whole of this portion of the Message, a great deal of
caution has been noticed, as though the President were
unwilling to compromise himself with either of the two
great parties of the Btates,
The recommendation of the " Constitutional Trea-
sury," which shall keep the pubic Money without any
power to make loans or discounts, or to issue a paper
currency, shows that the Sub-Treasury scheme brought
into operation by the Democrats, and subsequently re-
pealed by the Whigs, is again, in principle at least, to
be ad opted, if the President's advice be acted on.
By the financial statement wade in anticipation of the

The CHAIRMAN read some other subscriptions, and
then stated that the Committee would meet in the even-
ing to receive subscriptions. The amount now sub-
scribed was

The Chairman then left the chair, which was taken by
his Worship the Mayor, when the thanks of the meet-
inz were given to the late Chairman, with great
applause.

THE MINISTERIAL CR [KS.
(From the Times.)
Sir Robert Peel is Minister again, and the nation is
re-assured. The funds at least rise, and manuracturers
feel a little more encouragement to add to their stocks.
The test may be vulgar, but there is no other. Unhappily
for the sublimer class of politicians, there exists no scale
by which we can measure the aggregate fluctuations of
the moral susceptibilities. Were it possible for people to
lend their consistency at 34 per cent., and realise their
romance in Exchequer-bills—were there a consoli-
dated stock for all the virtues, and a suitable secu-
rity for good taste—we might then, perhaps, have to
record a decided depression in this branch of the
funds at the present conclusion of the " Ministerial
crisis." In the absence of such a standard, we have no
alternative but to enter the money market and feel the
pulse of the capitalist. Last week that pulse was low,
weak, and irregular, denoting a general collapse of the
vital powers, a congestion of blood to the vital organs,
and consequent desertion of the extremities. Sir Ro-
bert Peel returns, and a reaction ensues. He braces the
system like a tonic—like other tonics, rather bitter and
not very nice—port wine seasoned with bark, perhaps,
such as certain commissioners have recommended for
pauper ague. There certainly is an universal impres-
sion that Sir Robert Peel is the man to carry this mea-
sure. No other man can do it so easily and so inoffen-
sively. No other statesman can boast so strong a posi-
tion. He is the Hercules who alone can force the gates
of trade and open to our commercial navy the wealth
of Fortunate islands and Atlantic shores. The manifold
anomalies that are centred in his person, give him the
key to many classes and influences, which no other man
can command. He is the very type of our mixed and
motley state. By birth and inward sympathies a manu-
facturer, by education and connexion an aristocrat, he
wanders through many phases of change, but attains a
sort of unity of returning to the creed of his fathers and
his native soil. The text of free trade was among the
first that he heard. and through his whole life it has rung
in his ears, though ever so stifled by the clamours of
party and the whispers, perhaps, of private ambition.
e Quo semel est imbuta recens, servabit odorem
Testa diu."
It is just thirty years since old Sir Robert Peel de-
nounced with the most enlightened sagacity and the
deepest indignation the fatal measure of 1815, foretelling
its blighting effects on the trade, the labour, and the
wealth of the country, and on the landowner himself not
the least of all. A generation passed, and his son happily
lives to follow up the tradition of his father. His mea-
sure once resolved on, Sir Robert Peel needs all the de-
termination he can muster, and all the support he can
receive. We know now both our measure and our man,
and it is a very dilatory and superfluous wisdom to occupy
oneself in retrospective meditations on the course of the
present actual promoter. A hundred converging causes
;make Sir Robert Peel a free trade Minister. Fit or
unfit, there is now no help for it. We must swallow our
congruities, bow to necessity, and give our allegiance to
the de facto repealer of the corn-laws. A task of incal-
culable difficulty lies upon him. He has to overcome in
one way or another—we had almost said by fair means
or by foul—the inveterate prejudice of the ignorant, the
dogged pride of the exclusive, and the desperate selfish-
neess of those who imagine themselves the interested
classes; and for this arduous task he demands, and very
reaso,ably claims thus far, the assistance of every man
who affeete to wish well to his present cause. In fact,
it is a very' rough piece of work that is to be done.
and whoever undertakes it must put into it all his
strength. He must be prepared for trials and sacrifices,
without which nothing really great ever was, or ever
will be, accomplisheed. Even the lesser changes of the
last twenty years have not been without frightful strug-
gles. Putting out of question their wisdom or necessity,
Mei are not to be compared with that now in progress
for the magnitude and extent of their operation, The
Romeo Catholic Relief Bill brought into Parliament a
few dozen noblemen and gentlemen of that communion.
;The Reform Bill disfranchised a few hundreds, and en-
feseechised as many thousands. The other chief mea-
sure,. of the period were of still less compass and signi-
ficance. The rep al of the corn-laws affects every one
that eats' and every one that produces bread, and every
one who scan do either of these things—in other weede,
the whole buman race. It promisee, and will most as-
suredly give to every civilised man increased facilities of
employment and subsistence. It will put a nation which
is the wealthiest, the most mercantile, the most in-
genious, the most adventurous, and the most philan-
thropieal in the whole world, into immediate, free, and
open communication with every race that is civilised
enough to till the ground for food. It will bring all na-
tions to the best customer and the best producer of them
all. It will wake the ports of Britain the porta of the
world. Is its Lien, according to the analogy of huult4

" JOHNSON, MAYOR.
" Caution.—Whereas a person, calling himself Joseph
Ady, bath for souse time past been in the practice of
sending letters to various parts of the kingdom, stating
himself to be in possession of information for their pecu-
niary advantage, and offering to afford the same on pay-
ment to him of 205., and, in some instances, of 55., and
referring falsely if: such letters fur his character, inte-
grity, and responsibility to the Right Hun. John John-
son, Lord Mayor of London, Sir Peter Laurie, Alder-
man, and other members of the Court of Aldemen who
have passed the chair, as voluntary referees, the public
are hereby cautioned against paying any attention to
such references relative either to the character, integrity,
or responsibility of the said Joseph Ady.
" By order of the Lord Mayor,
" S. R. GOODMAN, Chief Clerk."
Alderman WILSON observed that it was extraordinary
that the newspapers, which used to teem with accounts
of the impositions of Ady, had not adequately guarded
the public. He thought there was scarcely a person
in the empire who had not heard of the person coin
plained against.
The LORD MAYOR said Mr. Goodman was constantly
occupied in answering applications addressed to the
Chief Magistrate concerning Ady. He hoped the ad.
vertisement would be considered a sufficient answer in
future.
One of the communications of Ady to clergymen is
a copy of an Act of Parliament, " to remedy the evil
consequences arising from the fact that a number of
spiritual persons entered into trade."
. The following was sent to the Lord Mayor by Ady:—
" My Lord Mayor,— --- wants to entrap von into
his quarrel, and to make you look as foolish as himself
" rot him restore my hooks ; and if ho has burnt
them, pay their value. He knows well, as the City So-
licitor, that a City Magistrate has no jurisdiction in
the Tower Hamlets, nor has he a right to impugn or
defame any man not legally before him. If you hear so
many complaints against me, surely you might pick out
one to follow up.
" But the is ary wants to get Jezabel's work
done without Jezabel's pay. Oh, yes, he would like the
City to pay again, and that accursed wretch call find five
hundred false witnesses. By that advertisement you
have appointed yourself universal referee for me. I am
about printing something (not like you, gratis)—will
send a copy as soon as able.—Respectfully,
"JOSEPH ADY."
Alderman WILSON said the impudence of Ady was
the most extraordinary he had ever witnessed. All the
magistrates of London knew of him, was from the reite-
rated complaints of impositions, and the fact that the
man was tried at the Old Bailey and convicted, and had
since taken care to remove himself from the jurisdiction
of the City magistrates.
The LORD MAYOII requested that the editors of news-
papers would lee so kind as to acknowledge his receipt
of the following sums for the poor-box:—the Grocery'
Company, 101. ; the Goldsmiths' Company, IN.; H. S.
(a lady), Si. ; W. Thornborrow, Esq., V. 2s. ; Charles
P. Pearce, Esq., 51. ss.

The male prisoner, Ralph Joicey, was immediately
afterwards brought into the court. He was in a weak
state and shed tears, and his mother and sister, whose
apprehension I communicated some days ago, appeared
totally unconcerned. The first witness called was
Ann Richardson, who said, I lived with the deceased
as servant for about six months last summer. I left his
service last Martinmas. During the time I lived with
the family there was a good deal of quarrelling. About
a month or two before I left there was a quarrel between
the fattier and the son and daughter, which was begun
by the father. The daughter, who is now prisoner
told her father to beware what he was taking, as she,
would poison him. The mother and the son—the male
prisoner—did not say anything, One Sunday night
afterwards the daughter called me out of the house,
and said if her mother was better she would soon make
her father a corpse, as she would poison him. I am
quite sure she made use of these expressions. The son
and the father never agreed. The daughter did net say
what sort of poison she would give her father. I know
nothing about the son having poison. I did not tell the
old man what the daughter had threatened she would
do. She was in a passion tat the time she uttered the
threat, and I did not think she would put it into execution.
The male prisoner asked the witness if she had ever
heard him use threats towards his father, to which she
replied is the negative.
Margaret Joicey, the daughter, denied that she had
acted as the witness had described, but admitted that
when her father was abusing her she told him to take
care that she did not play " the lass of Arlington" (who
was tried for poisoning her father, but acquitted).
The mother merely denied the witness's statement
generally.
Sarah Thompson, the next witness, said, lam the
wife of a husbandman, living at Cockle Park, next door
to the deceased. I knew him since May last. On
Tuesday, the second of this month, my husband told
me that the deceased was unwell, and on the fel-
' lowing Thursday I went to see him. It was in
the forenoon, and when I went the wife and the
daughter were there. The deceased was in bed. I
asked the women how he was, and they said he was
very ill, and he said the same. He said he had such a
burning at his breast, and such a rising that he was like
to be choked. He was hiccuping much, and complain•
ing of great thirst. He did not say what had caused
illness. I advised his wife to get a doctor, and she said
they had already employed one. I replied, "I know he
is in Dr. lledley's hands, but the doctor has never seen
him since he was so ill, and it would be better to send
for him." She said she was afraid to do so, for fear of
mi.-chief. The daughter appeared quite unconcerned.
I left the house immediately. On Friday the wife told
me that he was neither better nor worse. On Saturday
morning, about eight o'clock, I was called into the house
by Hannah Brown. The wife and daughter were there.
The deceased was in a fainting state, and they held him
in their arms. The son was not present. I asked the
deceased how he was, and he said he was still very ill.
No doctor had then been sent for. I saw the deceased
again on the Sunday morning, having been called in to
assist him into bed. After we had got him into bed,
Edward Brown asked him how he was. He said he was
very ill ; and added, " Ned, this is five nights and
days I have lain here, and not one of them has asked
me how I am." The wife and daughter of the deceased
were present when he said this, but they made no ob•
serration. On the same evening, I went in with my
husband, and Dr. Hedley was sent for by Mr Dicken-
son's orders. On the following morning, between five
and six o'clock, the wife of' the deceased called me out
of bed, and said they had had Dr. Hedley, who knew
nothing about the powder that had been left at the Port-
land Arms.
The CORONER—But you hare said nothing about a
powder before.
Witness—On the Wednesday morning the old woman
said they had got three powders from the Portland Arms
for her husban. She said Dr. Hedley had sent them
as a present on the previous Monday morning ; and that
her husband had taken one of them, but that she had
burnt the other two. She added that the powder was
blue or slate colour, and that about an hour after her
husband took it he was seized with a severe purging
and vomiting. On the second or third time he vomited,
he threw up a good deal of blood. Once the daughter
asked the old man if he thought it was the powder
that had made him ill, and he replied, " Say nothing
about it—the least that is said about it the better." The
daughter made no reply to that. I never saw her pay
any attention to him until after the doctor had been
three. I never saw the sou., in the house until the Mon-
day on which the old man died.
The mother, when asked what she had to say in rep;,
to this witness, stated that she had not told her there
were three powders, but only two, and that the deceased
refused to have medical assistance.
The daughter endeavoured to explain her apparent
neglect, by saying that she was from borne during a
portion of the week when her father was ill, but that on
her return she attended upon Lim carefully.
The son declined to ask the witness any questions.
Thomas Browne, of Cockle Park, said-1 was sent by
Ur. Weallens on the 14th of the present month, to look
for some powder which he said was concealed in a hedge
at Causey Park road-end. I found a powder wrapped
in blue paper, with the word " Poison" written upon it.
It was given to Wigham, the police-officer. I was in
Joicey's house between six arid eight o'clock on the
evening of the same day. The mother and daughter
were there. The daughter said that Ralph, the prisoner,
had left a paper in the stable to certify that what he had
told Mr. Weallens was true. The mother said she was
not sorry for her son being punished, as he had done the
deed, but they were clear.
John Thompson, of Cockle Park. said, I am in the
service of the Duke of Portland. On Sunday evening,
the 14th instant, when I went to the stable to attend to
the horses, I found a paper there. Some men were
there, who said they had been looking for something
that Ralph Joicey had left, Ralph Joicey's great-coat
was hanging in the stable, and I examined the pockets
of it, in one of which I found a written paper, stating
that Ralph Joicey was the man who had done the deed.
I gave it to Mr. Weullens, who read it in the hearing of
the family. It was as follows
Ralph Joicey is the man that did the deed, and
bought the arsenic on Creton (Creighton) the chemist,
and there was jalap in amongst it ; there was no one
augment (acquainted) with it but myself. It was bought
about two months since for the purpus, and there is sum
ling (lying) in a bus between Casey Park road-end and
the turn of the Ilellem-bank, on the west side of the
road, in a buss near the helm turn, in a blew paper."
Walter Weallens said—l am farm-steward at Cockle
Park. Ralph Joicey, the prisoner, was a hind on the
estate. I have had some conversation with him since
his father's death. It was on Saturday, the 13th instant.
I was in the barn about three in the afternoon, when
John Thompson told me that Margaret Joicey (the
daughter) wanted me. I went into Joicey's house and
said, " What is your will, Margaret?" She sat me in a
chair. Ralph was in the house, and he said, "Itis me
that wants you. From the great respect I have for you.
I have sent for you to confess." I said," Confess what?"
Ile replied, "I did the deed." I asked, " What deed?"
and he then said, " It was me that poisoned my father."
I said, " I was sorry to hear it," or words to that effect.
He said, " They are all innocent but myself. I
got the stuff from Mr. Creighton, the chemist." I
asked what the stuff was, and he said "arsenic and
jalap." He added, " There is part of it laying in a
thorn bush near the hellem of the hill turn." I then
asked his sister Margaret if she was innocent, and she said
she was. Ralph Joicey also stated that on the night
before he got the arsenic, the old man almost pushed
him into the fire, and that he procured the poison in
consequence. He said it was Morpeth horse-fair night
when he got the poison; and that on Sunday night,. the
30th of November, he went straight through the fields
from Cockle Park to the Portland Arms for the purpose
of leaving it. He said he gave it to the stetman, and left
immediately, and went down to Trellington, calling at
James Ord's on his way herne. He said he was very
sorry fer what he had done, and would have willingly
shared his father's sufferings after it was too late. I
hive no doubt that the paper just react is in the hand-
writing of the prisoner. I never saw any disagreement
among the family except in October last, when the son
and the father quarrelled. The old man used some very
improper expressions towards Ralph, aho upbraided his
father in return for having threatened to take his life
privately. The old man said he never used such a threat.
John Nigham, police-officer, Morpeth, said—l produce
a packet of arsenic, which was given to me by Thomas
Browne on the 15th instant, and which he said he had
found in a hedge. I was informed, on the previous
Saturday evening, that Ralph Joicey, the prisoner, was
charged with poisoning his father. I went to Newcastle
and apprehended the prisoner in an inner room of his
brother's house, in Hutton's-yard, Pilgrim street. I
charged the prisoner with poisoning his father, and he
said he knew all about it. On the road to Morpeth I
asked him if it was correct that he gut the poison at
Creighton's, and he said it was. He said that when he
saw his father in such pain, he wished he was in his
place. He said he had dreamt on the Friday night that
he was to make it known, and he would be forgiven.
This closed the case.
The prisoners declining to make any statement,
The CORONER recapitulated the circumstances of the

In passing through a bye court, leading into Wardour-

his hand into the prosecutor's breast-packet and grasped
the contents, a sovereign, a half-sovereign, and seven
shillings in silver. The prosecutor seized his hand Oh

The prisoner said the prosecutor did not wish to press
the charge against him. He (the prisoner) had friends
in the Court to settle it.
Mr. MALTBY—Let the prisoner be committed to New-
gate for trial, and the witnesses beund over.
The final investigation into a charge of assault, alleged
,o have:been falsely merle against a hootrnaker, named
William Hierons, living in Meard's court, Wardour-
street, by a woman tamed Elizabeah Cox, took place
before Mr. Maltby.
About ten days ago the woman arvired at this Court,
and stated that as she was Passing the ugh Meant's-
court, about two o'clock that morning, the defendant
(Hierans) came up to her, ace isted her indecently, made
improper proposals to her, and on receiving a repulse
struck her a blow on the face which knocked her down
senseless. A stranger who was passing at the time,
and
who witnessed the assault, assisted her in causing the
defendant to be taken to the station-house, and having
signed the charge-sheet promised to attend on her behalf
in the morning. This person, however, had not come
forward.
The defendant said he knew nothing whatever of the
assault, and called a witness, who said that the defendant
was not the man who struck the blow.
The woman said she was positive the defendant was
the man.
Mr. MALTBY immediately inflicted a fine of SL, which
was paid.
In a short tivae afterwards the defendant came into
Court, and said he had accidentally met with a. witness
who could prove he was not the person who had assaulted
the woman.
The witness, a neighbour of the defendant, but a
stranger to him, told the magistrate that she was at-
tracted to the window by a disturbance in the court
bete een a man and a woman. She looked out of the
window and saw the man knock the woman down. She
further saw the defendant came up to protect the woman,
and then she saw the man who had committed the assault
make his escape, and the defendant immediately after-
wards given into custody.
The defendant said this was a true statement of facts.
He had just rcached home, and was about to put his
latch-key to the door, whets he saw a woman knocked
gown. He ran forward to her assistance, and was given
into custody as the person who had committed the assault.
Inspector Aggs (who booked the charge) said he had
no doubt he should be able to produce the person who
signed the charge-sheet on behalf of the woman.
This witness was found, and brought into Court. Ile
said he certainly signed the sheet, but it was only as a
witness to show that the woman had been assaulted.
He had never pointed out the defendant as the man who
had committed the assault ; on the contrary, he had no
recollection of having seen the defendant in the station-
house at all. He did not attend as a witness the next
morning, because he understood from the inspector that
his presence was not necessary.
Inspector Aggs said he was certain the witness had
pointed out the defendant in the station-house, other
wise he would nut have been admitted to sign the shere
as a witness.

GUILDHALL.
Mr. George Robinson, a student residing in the Tens.
ple, and one of his friends named John Ross, attended
to answer a charge of assault which had been preferred
against them by Mrs. Jane Fish, of Gloucester-street,
Queen-square. A woman who had passed as Mrs. Ro-
binson (and who was recently tried at the Old Bailey,
for stealing a piece of silk from a tavern at Norwood,
while she was out for a day's spree with Mrs. Fish
and Mr. Ross) did not surrender to meet the charge,
though ske was aware she was included in the warrant.
Mrs. Fish stated that sho is the wife of John Fish,
who is now lying dangerously ill. On the 10th of No-
vember she went to Mr. Robinson's chambers in the
Temple, having received a note inviting her.
Mr. Alderman WiLsoN asked if it stated for what ob-
ject ? She said she believed it did not, but her solicitor
had it. She supposed it was to receive her rent, as she
had sent in a bid for 54 12s. Mr. and Mrs. Robinson
had lodged in her house three weeks. She found Mr.
Ross waiting in the court, and detaining her a few
minutes he showed her up to Mr, Robinson's rooms,
where she found Mrs. Robinson.
Mr. Alderman WILSON asked why Mrs. Robinson
was not in attendance ? Mr. Robinson said she was not
his wife. She was living with him some time ago.
Mr. Aldermen WILSON asked if she had not been
living with him since as well as before she went to pri-
son ? Mr. Robinson replied she had left him, and he
had no control over her.
Mrs. Fish continued her statement—On entering the
room Mrs. Robinson asked her if she had brought the
rest of her clothes. Witness said she had not, because her
son was not at home, and she said she wished she bad
never seen Mrs. Robinson. The latter flew at her
immediately, and began beating her furiously.
Mr. Robinson interposed, and forced his lady back to
the sofa. She rushed upon witness a second time, and
was again pulled off by Mr. Robinson. Mr. Ross had
locked the door, or she could have escaped. Mrs.
Robinson renewed the attack, though Mr. Robinson
stood to keep her off; but she got at witness, knocked
her down, and kicked her, and tore her face. She was
black and blue from head to foot.

Mr. Alderman WILSON asked why she had included
Mr. Robinson in the warrant? She replied, because be
levelled a gun at her, and threatened to shoot her if she
cried out, and Mrs. Robinson was then beating her.
Mr. Alderman WILSON asked what Ross did? She
said he, by command of Robinson, put a chair against
the door, and stood against it to prevent her from leav-
ing the room till Mrs. Robinson had done beating her.
At last she heard something said amongst them like,
" She has had enough of it now." She had not yet re-
covered the use of her arm, and was suffering from an
internal rupture.
Mr. Robinson asked her if he did not use every exer-
tion to prevent Mrs. Robinson from beating her, and if
he did not pull her off four times? Mrs. Fish said he
did so only twice, and then let Mrs. Robinson best her
SS she pleased; sad he said he would be revenged if he
went to the bottom of hell for it.

TITHE OF FISH.
LolvEsTorT.—On Wednesday last the case of Mr.
Roberts came again before the magistrates for hearing.
Mr. Cunningham, the vicar, conducted his own case.
Mr. Tillett, of Norwich, appeared for Mr. Roberts. Mr.
Cunningham's claim was for 10s. 3d., the value of a pro-
portion V the mackerel teken during the fishing voyage
of the boat Wesley, belonging to Mr. Roberts, which
proportion is called the " half-dole." In support of his
claim, Mr. Cunningham called three fish merchants,
whose evidence showed that within their knowledge
the half-doles had been paid for forty years, and that
they themselves had paid them during the whole
period they had been connected with the trade ; they
considered the claim was just, and paid the demand
as they would do any other debt. They had heard
at various times opinions stated with regard to the
origin of the custom, which were to this effect—that the
h►lf-doles were paid at first voluntarily, at a time when
the vicar's income was slender; but they did not think
these opinions to be of any authority. They had known
these claims to be. made under all circumstances, even
when there was a positive loss to owners, and showed
that the men employed contributed their share to the
amount as well as the owner. Mr. Cunningham pro-
duced
the accounts of his predecessors from 1677, thus
carrying back evidence of the fact of payment for 168
years. Mr. Tillett remarked that these entries afforded
no proof that the payment was any other than a volun-
tary one; and upon an examination of the books he
discovered two papers, one a letter written by
T. Tanner, a commissary at Norwich, to his brother
John, vicar of Lowestoft. This letter related to a
dispute about the tithe of fish, which arose in 1709,
and stated that the case must be tried under the pro-
visions of an Act of the 2d of Edward VI., which
requires proof that the custom existed forty years before
the date of that Act (i.e., in 1509). This Mr. Tillett
had insisted upon at the previous hearing. The
ether paper was entitled "Thoughts on the Tythe og
Fish at Lowestoft," having special reference to the
mackerel fishing. This old document po,itively stated
that the vicar " accepted what the merchants were will-
ing to give." Mr. Cunningham then read a paper pur-
porting to be g, copy of a document in the Rolls' Court ;
but this was not received as evidence because it had not
been authenticated. This paper declared that " twenty
years before the 9th of Erzabeth," there was a tithe of
fish, called Christ's dole." On this Mr. Tillett re-
marked, that as the document was " upon the decay
of the vicarage," the language used was a fair pre-
sumption that at the date of the document there was no
such custom. This ended the vicar's case. Mr. Til-
lett contended that the claim had not been substan-
tiated, and then pressed some technical objections, one
of which was to the information, which declared that
these tithes were " arising in the parish of Lowestoft,"
whereas they clearly arose in the sea, which vats not in
the parish of Lowestoft. The magistrates overruled
the objection, and thought that sufficient evidence had
been given to prove the legality of the custom, and there-
fore ordered payment. It may as well be stated that
the order for payment was made out by the clerk to the
magistrates, before the case had been heard.—Su elk
Chronicle. n.

Mr. Robinson replied that he could not say he recollected

Ross locked the door by his order; as also that he
levelled a gun at her. He did his utmost to prevent the
affray; but Mrs. Wilmore, who was called Mrs. Robin

her to question her as to some exorbitant items she had
charged in her bill, and to confront her with Mrs.
Wilmore, in respect to some statements she had made to
her prejudice. lie began to talk to her about the bill,
but the affray began, and Mrs. Fish retired as soon as it
WAS over.

Mr. Alderman WILSON asked Ross if he wished to say
anything? Ross replied only that he had taken no part
in the assault.

OUTRAGE AND ATTEMPT TO MURDER AT BUL-
MAN.—A most daring outrage was committed on Friday
last, about half-past one A.M., at the house of Mr. F. Stevens,
a farmer, at Bulphan Fen, in this county. Three men,
macked, made a forcible entry, by breaking through a lath
and plaster end of the building; and Mr. Stevens hearing
them below, took the novel course of jumping out of the
window, when two of the villains attacked bins, and one of
tl.em discharged a pistol at him, but happily missed his per-
son. Mr. Stevens escaping from them ran towards a cottage,
when a second shot was tired at him, but fortunately
without injuring him. The fellows then ns ide off,
taking with them a double-barrel gun, the only thing missing.
Information having been given to the police, an active
search was instituted in the neighbourhood, which resulted
in the apprehension of a man named Freeman, residing at
Horndon, on suspicion of being one of the parties implicated
in the outrage; Inspector Smith, who immediately went to
London, succeeded, on Sunday evening, in taking into cus-
tody, in Ratcliffe-highway, another party, named James

The jury retired fur a short time, and, on their return,
stated that they found Ralph Joicey " Guilty of wilful
murder," but that there was nothing to implicate the fe-
male prisoners.
Ralph Joicey was then committed to take his trial at
the next assizes. The women were immediately after-
wards discharged from custody.

Mr. Alderman WILSON said it was altogether a cruel
and disgraceful assault, and he should send all the
parties to the sessions. Mrs. Wilmore should not escape
if she could possibly be found. The two defendants
could and might have prevented Mrs. Wiimore from
continuin the assault if they had been disposed, but it
seemed that the complainant was enticed to the cham-
bers and locked in for the purpose of being cruelly
beaten by a tall, strong young woman. Ross had not
even made a show of protecting the complainant. All
the parties were equally bad. lie had supposed that

The witness had asked if he were obliged to attend

but he might do as he thought proper.
Mr. MALTBY appointed yesterday for the woman Cox
to attend before him.
The woman, who appeared to be still suffering from
the effects of the blow, when questioned, said the blow so
stunned her as to render her incapable of speaking posi-
tively to the person who had inflicted it. She had been
induced to swear that the defendant was the man from
his havinL been pointed out to her by persons who saw
the assault as the man who had struck her. Since she
was before the Court, she had heard so many persons
declare that she was mistaken that she was now re•
luctant to swear that the defendant was the man who
had assaulted her.
Mr. MALTBY said, the case having now assumed an
aspect so different from that which it presented in the
first instance, when the woman swore so positively to
the identity of the defendant, he should order the de-
fendant to be paid back the 51. fine.
