POLitt INTELLIGENCE.

• .
'GUILDHALL.—Sir P. LAURIE again attended yester-
day to investigate the way in ivhich Miss Jackson"a;flaim
to the property of the' late Duchess 'of Norfolk's 'estates,) ad
been defeated, through the production in ChancerY'OF Per-
verted copies 'of 'a register, of a hurial, and of a. Mope-
mental inscription..
The 'Rev.. Mr..' Bowyer, declared in the. outset, when .
Mr'. Clarke, the solicitor (whose conduct Miss"jaekson•
impugns), was pointed out to him, that he was ,not the
person, who, in conjunction with another; bad Visited•Suri-
ningwell and influenced him to issue an inaccurate copy of
the register. ;, it was a Much thinner man..
Mr. Clarke ',egged that the complaint might be Wholly.
finished before'he made any reply. , , • ,
Sir P. LAURIE said, this hearing was more for theinr-
pine of itffording Mr. Bowyer an' opportunity to explain
than any thing else. The complaint.was already: made, and
was in fact only this—that he bad obtained an altered copy
of a register; and mis-stated the inscription on a monument,
with the view of inducing Mr. Robert Jackson and bliss
Jackson to abandon their. claim. ,
Mr. Clarke would first adVert to the monumental in-
scription. lie was charged with lids-stating the inscription
in a letter, by saying that it provtd Mary Scudarnore(was
the ." second" wife of Sir James. Now if the letter were.
re-perused, lie would defy any man who hail a knowledge
of the ordinary forms of construction, to understand that
he Stated any such thing. ,All that referred to the monu-
ment was marked with parentheses, and the word second,"
which appeared afterwards, clearly referred to the certi-
ficate alone.
Sir WIER remarked, that he held a very different tone
upon this point before, antl.instead of denying that he had
written that ,the monument stated Mary to be the second
wife, he spoke of not having brought the monument away,
in his pocket.
Mr. Clarke allowed this. He did not in fact then dis-
tinctly understand that part of the charge against hire.
Miss Jackson produced, a letter which was directed to
her. in Cannon-street,. and dated 18th September, 1811,).
" My dear Madam—l fear you have often reproved .my
apparent neglect of your last letter, but I assure you it has
.arisen solely for want of the document which .1 now en-
close, but which I had mislaid till within these few days.

t I°ydte aeatasel ide what he had to say upon
Sir
Clarke admitted that he had in this instance com-
mitted a mistake. It was mentioned only by way of note,
thus, "see the monumental inscription," and he clearly
meant to have said, "see the certificate." But even if he
thltd mis ?Aged the imeriptionfilit was true that Mary was

the second wife, and he had evidence with him b Pr'
it. He then adverted to the second charge against hits,
• The Rev. Mr. Bowyer produced the register book, #
M;. Green, from the Prerogative Office, read the en(
premitiing that he was accustomed to reading ancient
nuscriPts, some in the Commons being of the 13th cep°,
The entry was as follows :—October 17, 1632.
Right Worshipful Dame Mary Scudamore, widow,
Wife of Sir Jetties' Scudamore, deceased." Miss JaCP;
produced the ;Wove letter, with the enclosed certifies'
wherein the word "second" was substituted for si l'
after"the word widow; and th.e Rev. Mr. Bowyer admit
that the certificate was now in precisely the same state
when lie signed it.
Mr. Clarke then said the imputation upon him Isl
that he had influenced the 'Rev. Gentleman to insert
word " second" in the 'copy, and that he had used. s'
A
copy to defeat the claim of his own client. In the fr„
place, it was clear that he had not used it at all, for ,ifr
had, it would not heie been in Miss Jackson's posse/stilt:
He would state why he had obtained this certifieate,,°:,
how it came to his hands, which lie was sure would satt
every one in the room,' except Allis Jackson, that hell°
as innocent of having caused the " second" to be intetlf,
lated as Sir Peter Lairrie himself. A solicitor could e
go personally to all parts of the 'country to take copies, 0

vial proceedings. In the beginning of February, to
nine thousand 006.'1:Vete sent to him foe eXaminatio°',
and, to drew, tbiiiiindustriouS he was, he ,produced
journal, where there Was an entry on. the sth of February
of writing for the certificate of the burial of Mary Scut
more, in consequence of a schedule of a deed stating Or
a,
she resided in the parish of Sunningwell. • {lie read;
copy of his letter addressed to Mr. Baster of Abingdon, wll°'
he knew nothing of, but selected prOniiscuouily tipoi
ferring to the law list. It desired Mr... Baster to search
register of Sunningwell for the burial 'of a I.:l4.`Peton
more, who was stated to 'be living at 'Hayworth, in 01
parish, in 1627 ; 'and he nekt-, read Mr. Raster's reply
enclosing the certificate, and charging 11. Is.; because
had had the trouble of sending to Sunningwell, tot
rector being from home the first tithe.] I The certificate I'
so received was the one he forwarded to Miss Jackson"
that he 'would take his oath of. •
Sir PETEa LAURIE asked- whyle did not get an.
rate copy of the register, when he went to Sunningwell I°'
look at the monument, which visit he had admitted ?-41.
Clarke did net go to Sunningwell professionally. nor die
Mr. Turner accompany him, some different business
obliged him to go to Oxford. This was in Jannary, 18109
two months after the Master (Harvey) had settled tl's
point, as to the heir at law, by reporting in favour of Sir
E. F. Stanhope ; but being at Abingdon, -curiosity along
led him to stray the three miles to look at the montumene.l
Sir Peren asked why he had applied for the register,'
he did not make use of it?—Mr. Clarke explained tIC'
the deed he had referred to, stated (he had obtained 51i°
Jackson's leave to.mention the contents), that ,Lady Sell'
damore lived at that place, -and it recognized John SO'
damore as "her son," the very thing which Miss Jacks°'
was contending to be untrue; and he was desirous of see"
ing whether the register would elicit any fact of impOrtallce
to the cause in any way.
Miss Jackson multi bring a battery of government boo°
to overturn the assertion, in the deed.

Sir PETER. then called upon Mr. Bowyer to wake hii
sta tenlen t.

. ,
The Rev. Gentleman repeated; that.he.had not the It‘I"
recollection of Mr. Clarke's person, but two gentle-at°
came to him, whether from London Or not he could as
tell, and examined thin register. One of them was parti;
calmly anxious to find the word second in it, and cons,'
over the erased word preceding " Dame" with gros
anxiety. He said he could read it, and that it was second,
but witness confessed be was unable to read it 110. The
gentleman, however, insisted on it, and he would swear br
was. influenced by them to-give up hie- deliberate judgmeo!
upon the erasure, and give the certificate now produceo
by Miss Jackson. He supposed this was not the stun* be
had delivered to the Abingdon solicitor, whom, however,
he did not know.
While all this was going on, Mr. Fitz•Stratherne, ski
law genealogist,;and Mr. Green, of the Prerogative-office,
.employed thernadves in endeavouring to trace the-Witr
rated word in the register, and they now were decidedly t'
opinion the erased word was " third." It was mentioned
that a duplicate of the register would be. found.-at tist
.Bisliop'sOfOce, but Miss Jackson said she had inquired there,
and found that they bad good naturedly lost the record of
that precise period.,—(A laugh.), i_tl
Sir PETER LAURIE did not-know that the matter could
be carried any farther. He was perfectly satisfied that no
imputation remained upon the. Rev. Gentleman's conthict.
With respect to Mr. Clarke, he had no hesitation in sayig
he was not the person that had induced Mr, Bowyer toil,"
troduce the word "second ;" that he bad sent the doce'
ment unaltered to Miss Jackson, and that no corrupt pet
had been traced to him.
Mr. Clarke admitted he committeda.misialte in refer'
ring to one document instead of another, but he $4'49
writing from recollection, four years after they bad been
before him. He was an officer of the Court of Chancery'
and if he had done wrong, the Chancellor would hear the
complaint, and know better how to deal with him than 01
body in that room.
Here the matter rests.

UNION-HALL.—Yesterday, a man named Lawrence,
was brought up on a warrant, at the instance of the pari,ll"

The defendant said, that if he was sent to gaol he sh°o-r.
net be able to support either the child in attendance °
another that was then at home.
Painter said that the defendant had another child, a suT-f
daughter, at home, whom he also was in the habit °
treating with great cruelty. When he (Painter) went:°
the house, lie saw the other child, up stairs, in a garret'
fastened with a strap to the bed on whicb it was lyhrg.
Ihe poor child seemed to be in great distress, and he re-
leased it.
The defendant, being unable to procure sureties, Wrd
Conniiitted to gaol; and the parish officers were b.°llil,e
,over to prosecute him. His children were taken to t
workhouse during his incarceration.
