of
3,y)L
and Carron, wi h a view to cheat the creditors of the baekruet,
The cause was commenced on Monday, and it was adjou nerd
until Tuesday morning. A great number of witnesses were
elm-I-lined, and the trial was not pencluded until late on 'luny_
day evening. The following is a narrative of the facts acidueed.
It appears that Boyd kept the house Ne. 5, St. George's_
circus, where lie carried on the.busineLs of a linenclraper, and, •
about eighteen months.-ago Carron, the bankrupt, who was
erenlgaategeeldtoinhtihme
stiaymereabrunsaif,ees,s and
thed,
who, it appear.d, was also
‘‘ tally" system, went to
live with Boyd, and it appeared that one.half the shop was
a signed to. him for the purpose of his carrying en his trade,
and that Boyd occupied the other half. Du: ing the time he
was with Boyd, it appeared that he had purchased, either
for himself or through Boyd, goals from different whale.,ale
houses, to the amount of nearly 1,5001.; and about the
month of February he was made a bankrupt, and he then
made as assignment ef .his property to his creditors, the
amount of which it appeared did nut exceed 301.
Upon the necessary proceedings being taken, the de-
fendant Amber, accompanied by his co-defendant, went to
the house in St. George's-circus, and they there took posses-
sion of the property under the bankrupt's assignment. 'Phis
was on the 10th February, and oc-the 11th, it would appear,
that they again proceeded to the house of the plaintiff, and in-
quired whether there %sere any more goods in the hoase, and
the plaintiff said there were not. They then made a search,
and, in the bedroom of Mr. and Mrs. Boyd, they found a large
quantity of goods,
.with all the private marks torn off, lying
under the bed; and these they also seasesle and spbsequently
took away, and it was with reforeece to' bis transaction that
the present act ion ava's brought. The-vise for the plaintiff was,
that these pods were really his property ; and some witneeiee
employed by different manufacturers were called to prove that
a great past-of the goods found under the bed had actually been
sold by them to Boyd; an I with respect to other ?onions that
were identified as having been sold to Carron, it was set up
that there-bad been transactions of barter between Bayd and
the bankrupt,. and that these articles formed pact of them.
The plaintiff claimed 691. 16s. 5d., the value of the goods that
had been removed froal under the bed, being 3d!. snore than
the amount paid.
The Foreman said the Jury felt themselves compelled to find
a verdict fer the Plaintiff for 391. odd, being the difference be-
tween the amount paid into the court, and the value put upon
the goods that were taken by the 'defendants. He then said that
for the trespass they gave a farthing as damages.
Baron ALDERSOs said that haying given the former verdict,
the Jury need nut trouble themselves about the question as to
the trespass.
The Foreman said that the Jury, although they felt bound
upon the evidence to return the verdict they had, were
desirous to express their opini, ii at the same time that there had
been most gross and scandalous fritud in the transaction. -
Baron ALDERSON said he quite agreed with them ; but,
upon the evidence, he thought tl:ey could not return any other
verdict than they had.
This concluded the business of the Home Circuit.

CRIMINAL COURT, YESTERDAY.

OLD COURT.

Wil,7am Clark, 23, was corivicted'for burglary in the dwel-
ling-house of Mr. John Tribe, and stealing. therefrom a large
quantity of plate, wearing apparel, &e.
It appeared the house of the prosecutor, wliieh situa'e in
the neighbourhond of the Edgewaresroad, 'was broken open
durno- the night of Good Friday, and the articles in question
carries! away. The entry- wag effected by breaking out one o
the pane :s of the I:lick-door. The plate was locked up, in a chest
which teas also broken open. Oa the same i-riorning, early,
a constable, of the name of! Walton, utet the prisoner
a short distance from the. :pia .equtf4r:s promises. At
that time he oat c..irrYing large
,bundlC-and upon being
asked what the bundle -contained, h sa,d they ,were a quan-
iity of old boots which he 'iwai'l*-taking t be tepaired.
The e.,n table, perceiving that t*prisoner's pockets appeared
very bulky, thought all was not ritclit,and therefore took him
into custody ; an beingsearyhcM thi, station-house' a
tplantity of boots; a pair of eindlpst4ckse,gilver goblet, and a
quantity of wearing- apparel,.w.ss to the Uttnille; ard in
his pockets, a quantity of sEvei*Air's iiatxics, all of which
..were identified by the prosecutort --,C;oist 'quantity of other
p operty, which hal also been :tato fluintbelpro-ecutor's, Was
subsequently found in a ditch
.at 149 444 of theirosecutor's
premises.
The Jury returned a verdict oft utfty,.and the prisoner
was -entenced to IS yeais' teanspotiatina.- -
IVilliam Baker was indicted fix," eMben:ing three sums of
unney, amounting to 121. 95.., :the property of his employer,
Mr. ft. Dixon.
It appeared from the evidence that the proSccutor, who is a
,oal merchant, that the prisoner hag been in his employ as
:Awing clerk for about five yea e. The sums in question
were received by him in the conrsii bu-iness, but never ac-
counted for. It wa; elicited, upotfeross,examin.tion, that the
prisoner's defalcations amou .ted to; novards of 4501., and that
the pro ecutia- had been induced, at th; urgent request of the
;wisoner's friends, to forego the 'prosecution upon securing
-ecurity for a portion of the an-tount'lembezzled. He applied to
the cotnmiting Magistrates to release the ir:s3ner, but he re-
'used to comply w.th the .regaLst.
A tatinlpr of witnesses gave the prisoner an exc. Vent eha-
rac!er, and iwtrie.l he hail for some time b, en .übject to fits,
mil was other.; lee in a very delicate state of health.
The Jury having returned a verdict of Guilty,
The ltEcounza sentenced the ptistmer to be transported for
he term of seven years, but intimated ilat suc4 a mitigated
wnteuce wes solely in consequence or his bad state of health.

It is perhaps not of much use recurring to the desul

tory observations, which were made on the Corn-keeping
out Bill the evening b4ore last. We c,nnot now en-
tel•tain the smallest hope that the Bill will not be carried.
if we revert to it, therefore. it is rather to place the

from any hope of either delaying, or improving the

We have, ihdeed, no wish to improve it. The uglier
it is, so much the shorter be the time we may ex-
pect the people to bear it. In our judgment, it is too
much the fashion to consider only the adaptation
of a law, and if these duve-tail in nicely and with
preAsion, its objects and bearings are frequently
overlooked, from admiration of the skilftil work •
nianship. There is among men a veneration fur
power and skill to whatever uses they may be applied ;
and hence not a few of the soi-disant Liberals of out
tiny, when they see a law beautifOy adapted to answer
an intended purpose however diabolical that may be, art
quite delighted with the wonderful legislative con-
trivance. The more bunglingly, therefore, a short-
coming, or an iniquitons ho -drawn--nip, the less
chance there is that it will be long tolerated, and We,
therefore, have no wish to see any so-called improvement
introduced into a lain, of hich the chief object is to
limit the supply of food, and starve a portion of the people.
The sort of discussion, however, to which such enact-
mows lead is worthy of notice. The pro Corn-lice
.llz:nberi were obliged to _Mend themselves against
insinuations and charges of increasing the number ol
towns which supply the averages flom improt en mo-
tives. They had added, said Mr. ll.twics, fifty minor
towas from districts in which inferior wheat was grown,
and only twenty from those districts in which the wheal
is of a superior quality. They did this, however, to de
grade the present averages,' and thus cunningly and fur-
tively raise the duty on. corn, While they pretend to

the House .that the towns had been selected from no
such motives ; but the-Legislature always sets the public
the example of suspecting the worst ; and though their
assurances could not be contradicted in Parliament, they
will not'gain credit with the public.
Another topic which these law-makers discusSed,• was
how much or how little pigs' meat might be included in
the. averages as bread stuff. Mr. WAKLEY carried some
samples of good and bad wheat into the Hotise, and -
showed the Members wheat which sold for 365., and
wheat which sold at the -same time for 80s.• Now
whether more towns be _used for the • averages,
to allow more of this 'pigs' meat to be included
in the returns or not, is it a worthy occupa-
tion for ' the law-makers of this empire, the men
who are to make rules for the guidance of society, to b:
engaged in discussing such matters ? Ought such dis-
cussions not to make every reasonable man shrink

from a subject which involves law-makers in a
discussion about their own characters and motives,
and about the relative quantities of pigs' meat and fine
wheat, the sales of which may be returned under the
averages ? The law which involves such discussions
must be an enormous error, for it degrades the Legisla-
ture itself.

AND TILE

• We do not boast of much reading in codes and in
works on legislation, but we have no recollection of any-
of the law-makers of antiquity, any of the founders of
great empires, or the builders up of social organization,
engaging 'in elaborate discussions about_pii.ss' meat tuld
wholesome food, and about selecting more or fewer places
in order to get a return, of the prices of wheat a shilling
higher or lower. Neither do v,e remember in any
scientific books on legislation, which it has been
our fortune to meet with, any rules laid down
fur the guidance and instruction of legislators on such
questions. How to adjust prices, to collect averages, to
di6eriminate by law between good and bad wheat, to
give the consumers et-lough, and the producers a fair re-
ward, as far as we know, forms no part of any works on
the science of legislation. The gentlemen of the House
of Commons seem to us to follow an art or science ex-
clusively their own. There is nothing like it anywhere
else. Ordinary men, qerefore, can have no clue to their
conduct, and they must not be surprised should their
discussions about pigs' meat, and coll&ting averages
from more or fewer towns, be neither comprehended nor
admired by the rest of the community. Neither must
they be surprised if the people, wholly unable to fathom
their sublime discussion for the public good, and behold-
ing their anxiety to have the pigs'. meat included in the
averages, should irreverently call them in their corpo-
rate capacity, the pigs'-meat Parliament.

INCOME TAL—The Town Council of Manchester
held a meeting on Monday, the Mayor in the chair, and
passed resolutions against the income tax, and in favour
of free trade, as a substitute for taxation. At the meet-
ing Mr. Alderman Brooks used such strong language
that the Mayor thought it necessary to take notice of it.
We think it worth while to give a specimen of the lan-
guage with which distress is inspiring even decorous
Aldermen :—" The tariff was as complete a _robbery on
the people as was ever made, and the alteratias were
made in the worst form. Thus, pigs were to come in at
ss. ; but cut up in two, a hundred weight a side, they
would each pay a duty of 28s. Could anythinj be con-
ceived more monstrous ! This showed they were only
contriving to keep the monopolies ; and then they said,
' They ought to have an income. tax: If ever there
was a hell upon earth,;, it was now. Lord John Russell
had turned the devil with his imps for a time, and he
did notplease the people ; and now Sir Robert Peel had
turned devil with his imps, and they would be kept, and
were kept, out of the people. They did rule, and would
rule, over us, till we could destroy them ; till we could
starve them, and put them to_rights. If we would only
join together as men of business, and stick to our prin-
ciples, we should have justice done us ; but we should
never have our rights till we took them."
