+rry difficult to know by what right they claimed
VS a tiuni of cr.iporate body, Which (his Court never
ioold ar:'l.;ri)edgr, or
.listen to ; lre, therefore,
tivmght ,is:trght that thetrustees' shOuld present 'a
petition. The rooodatimi.of the charity was by the
charter of VI. -for the fOunding of It
griillllll3l. school. An Ac't of Parliament was
enacted on the 13th of April, 16(34, which recited
the letters patent, and gave the' rrustees a school
house built • by Sir Wm: limper, and certain lands
• bequeathed by that Gentleman tor the marriage
portions of the poor maids of the town of Bed-
ford ;-a ad ior-appreatice fees orporir children bran
in the ;owl), and vested theta in the Mayor and
Comniottalry of the town of Bedford for the time

being. Ilis• Lordship then went into the history
of the case, which we have already reported; and
also took a review' of the several Acts of Patlia-
ment, and the decrees that had been made in that
Conit, !dative to the charity'. '1 he master of the
graMmar school was IV he a-fellow of the New
College at Oxford, or a Clergyman, to he appoint•
eel br the Wardens and Fellowi- of Oxtord Col-
lege,-and liable to be removed hy'thern; awl that
the Warden and Fellows should sendt visitants
to the school, on the first day of every month of
Nay, to examine into the progress of the chil-
dren's- education, and the conduct of the master,
and that the visitants were to appoint three boys
to go to the'universPy each year, end the Trus-
tees to allow. them 401. per annuni for their sup-
port. It appeared, that until about thirty years
• ago there was no application of the charity funds
to the children of Jews. Much had been said
at the bar en t!:e subject of religious tokra•
tion ; itll that he would say on it was, that Le had
only to look :o the 'charter of Edward VI. whe-
the'r it contemplated Jews as objects to partake of
the charity. -13 tit, as a J,idge, 'he waS honnd to
recollect that Clni•tianity was-pari 'of the law of
the lie could find nothing that wonld en-
title hint to say that the visitants had not the au-
thority to make regulations for the school. -Then,
even it the Act of Parliament did not shut -out
Jew boyc; they Would have the right to exclude
thent from the henefiis of the school. When Ed-
ward VI. founded th'eschool, be never could haVe
Cobtemplated the 'education of 3e4s. How was it

possible that in wachool, part Christians and part
Jews, that education should go. on ? Therefore
he had no doubt but that Jew boys were not en-
titled to the benefits of the grantmat school
As to the 'next gnestion, whether poor Jew
girls • were • entitled to 'draw lots for appren-
tice fees, if Jew boys could not partake ' of
the benefits. of the gtamniau•scbool, ve4s it for
bin) to say that others, who were not Chris-
wen to partake•of the charity lie could
trot lotget that the-candidates to thaw lots must
siend in their Christian and surnames. It bad
been said at the Bar, that Christian name meant
first name; and that it. that 4-. as not the meaning
the children of Anabaptists would be excluded;
but Anabaptists were Christians,. although they
aid not baptise their children as soon as we did.
The conclusion he had come to, After giving the
case his fullest consideiation, was, that the chil-
dress of,Je-ws were not entitled to partake of the
benefits of the charity. lint as the petition ortbe
trustees was Irresented after the argument, he
would give an opportunity of its being re-argued,
if the parties thought proper.

- MANLY-FACTORS OF fixes.—On Saturday. Mr..
iirtowri', the Depnty Marshal, in pursuance of the
direction of the Loan MAnort, proceeded with a
irote' to the Magistrates at Worsiiip-street, 10 re-
quest their' assistance in' searching the premises of
Harland, whose name was mentioned by Bland-
ford, in the course of his interrogation, as the
person front whom he hail received the pike-blade,
.-1,k1r., Brown, on presenting his note to the Magis•
Crates, was informed .by them that nothing had
been stated upon which they could be justified in
granting their warrant. Any thing which Mr.
frown might resolve to do, therefore, was at-his
ywn risk. Under these circumstances,. Mr. Brown
agreed to indemnify the Officers of Worship-
btrret for any assistance which they might give
