channels, that the Society thought themselves warranted
in believing that a very large proportion of the general
practitioners of this country had declared their wishes
in favour of such an incorporation—that the Society,
therefore, following out the line of conduct which they
had proposed to themselves, bed &ready intimated to
the profession their readiness to assist in representing
their feelings on this subject, and in promoting, as far
as they were able, the object of their wishes. The So
ciety further represented to Sir James Graham that in
discharging the duty entrusted to them by the Legisla-
ture, they had succeeded in materially raising the cha-
racter and attainments of the class of general practi-
tioners, and that the Society were now ready and willing
irrespectively of personal or corporate considerations,
to assist in obtaining for those who had been educated
under their auspices a more perfect organisation than
they could enjoy in connexion with either of the exist-
ing medical institutions ; and, after expressing their
conviction that the grant of an independent charter of
incorporation would be a boon most gratefully ac-
cepted by the general practitioners, and would be a mea-
sure of a very healing character, the Society respectfully
invited Sir James Graham's favourable consideration to
that pr© axial,
' The Society had the honour of receiving Sir James
Graham's reply to this communication on the 4hth plt.
Sir James Graham states, that "he is ready to re-
ceive any ;natured plan for incorporating a now body of
general prisetitismers, but that before he can form an
opinion, or even Pko44ider such a project, all the details
of the scheme must be htid before him, and the names of
the leading persons who promote it, and who are parties
to the proposed organisation, must be declared,"
Th.e society are assured that your Committee, in com-
mon with the rest of the profession, will hail this ex•
pression of Sir James Graham's readiness to consider a
!natured plan for incorporating a now body of general
practitioners with the utmost satisfaction.
The Society of Apothecaries are prepared, on their
part, to afford their best assistance in maturing such a
plan as may commend itself to the judgment of Sir
James Graham, and secure hia approsal ; eed they in-
vite their medical brethren throughout the country to an
immediate consideration of the details of the scheme,
that they way bs enabled to comply with what Sir
James Graham has remuircd lie a preliminary to his
forming an opinion on the proposed incorporation of the
general practitioners.
As the Society of Apothecaries have abstained hitherto
from urging any plan of medical reform of their own upon
the acceptance of the profession from a sincere belief
that they would more effectually promote the interests
of their medical brethren by furthering the declared ob
jeer, of their wishes, rather than by advocating any mea-
-s sdeganesieg with the Society itself, so now they
se._
:..ad for the same Fawn, from expressing any
aobpint ain,
ion of the us
46-setety'a with respect to the details of the
proposed scheme of incorporation:
• If the position of the Society of Apothecaries, as one
of the medical institution. of time country, or the niflnuer
in which they may have suc,cecded in discharging the
important duties with whieh they have been intrusted for
the last thirty years give them any claims upon the con-
sideration of the Legislature and the country at large,
they are prepared to throw the weight of that position
and of those claims into the scale in favour of the object
now sought by their medical brethren. They desire,
however, that any influence they may possess should be
exercised in a manner the most conducive to the real in-
terests of the general practitioners, and they are there-
fore deeply anxious that such influence should be exer-
cised legitimately, and as becomes a body continuing to
discharge an important public trust.
You have stated, that your Committee " look forward
toithis society, being naturally placed at the head of the
movement for incorporation." The society do not wish to
disappoint this imputation, nor will they shrink from the
duties and responsibilities which attach to what you term
their natural position. They will state, therefore, in what
respect they consider they can best serve the cause of
the general practitioners at the present crisis.
Her Majesty's Secretary of State has required that the
details of the scheme for incorporating the general prac-
titioners should be laid before him. Now, It is almost
unnecessary to observe, that it is most desirable that unani-
mity should, if possible, prevail in the profession on this
important subject, because any material disagreement in
principle or detail would afford strong reason for
the Secretary of State withholding his consent to the
scheme altogether. It is a subject in which large
'numbers have a common interest, and in the considera-
• tion of which all have a right, and many will have a
desire to take part. It is not likely that upon points of
detail, or even of principle, all will entertain the same
opinions in the first instance. It will be necessary that
the parties engaged in the consideration of the subject
should understand each other's views, and they are not
likely to understand each other's views without mutual
explanations, or to arrive at unanimity in the result
without something of mutual concession. To effect
these objects it is necessary that they should have some
common centre to which their views may be addressed—
a sort of neutral ground on which they may meet to
consider points of difference, and endeavour to reconcile
conflicting opinions.
The Society of Apothecaries are willing to place them-
selves in that position—to receive the digression of the
views of the general practitioners throughout the king-
dom, through the medium of their local associations, on
the details of the proposed scheme of incorporation, to
smooth the way for mutual explanation and mutual con-
cession, and to assist in effecting such an agreement
among their brethren, at least upon the wain features of
the plan, as shall enable the Society to lay before her
Majesty's Government, on behalf of the general pracs
. titioners of this country, a scheme which may fairly repre-
sent the wishes of the great majority of that body. In
this sense the Society are willing to place themselves at
the head of the movement for incorporation.
The Society feel that their position affords peculiar
facilities and advantages for discharging this duty with
substantial benefit to the general practitioners. They
have no personal, corporate, or local interests to advo-
cate. The very existence of an independent College of
General Practitioners implies a resignation on the part of
the Society of all further interference with the education
or control over the affairs of the general practitioners.
They will have only one aim and object, therefore, left to
them, namely, to see the general practitioners in the full
enjoyment of an independent organisation, and to lend
their zealous help to promote the success of that measure.
As a preliminary and most important step, the Society
invite the attention of your Committee to the following
points, which you
will find involve the principles of the
constitution of the proposed College :

COURT OF C AMMON I'LEAS, Jan. 16.
THE ILESSTRATION APPEALS.

The Court this morning proceeded to take the ap-
peals from the Revising Barristers which were not gone
through last session.

ECKERSLEY V. BARIUM.
This was an appeal from the decision of the Revising
Barrister for South Lancashire, who had allowed the
claim of a person whose qualification " for a cottage in
Tinker's-lane, Hollingsworth, near Manchester," was
objected to on the ground of insufficient description.
The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE gave now the judgment of
the Court in favour of the vote and the barrister's deci-
sion. His Lordship observed that the number of a house
in a street was a necessary designation ; but it could not
be necessary to give a number to every house in a lane or
upon a common.

SCONE V. 1.1140111TT.-TILE CLAMS OF LODGERS.

In this case the appellant elairned to qualify f r apart-
ments which he occupied in the house, No. 17, Catherine-
street, Strand. The claim was founded on the 27th
clause of the Reform Act, by which Mr. Cockburn con-
tended that the appellant, having a latch-key, and the
uncontrolled power of entry, was entitled to vote as for
a separate tenement. The Learned Gentleman referred
to a case from Stockvrt, in which the Court, last term,
decided in favour of the claims of several persons who
rented rooms in one mill, in which their machinery was
worked by one engine.
The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE said that the Court held
this claim to be upon very different grounds from the
Stockport case. In the latter each apartment was, in
fact, a separate workshop; but here the claimant had
Tree entry only by sufferance, and could be at any
time shu., out by the will of the landlord.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
(YESTERDAY.)
MANSION-HOUSE.
Yesterday, Howell, Smith, and Franklin, the men
who were on Saturday charged with having com-
mitted a burglary in the George and Vulture Hotel,
were brought before the Lord Mayor for final ex-
amination. Mr. Nobler appeared for Howell, Mr.
Wontner for Franklin, and a solicitor'= clerk at: laded
upon the part of Smith. The justice-room was
crowded extremely during the exatnination, and very
great interest was excited.
Eliza Ann Hughes, the chambermaid, who first.
saw Howell and Smith in bed-roam No. 6, added to
her statement of the former day that, up,tn going in
with a candle for the purpose of lighting the fire on
the night of the burglary, she saw them stooping
down between the bed and a cheat of drawers, and
that she ran out and tried to lock them in, but they
burst the door open and prevented her ; soon after
which they were seized by Mr. Warrener, the owner
of the house.
The following new evidence was then produced by
Major Shaw, the superintendent of the City police
City policeman No. 514 stated that on Friday
night (the night of the burglary), at nine o'clock, he
was on his beat, and did not see any cab in Lombard-
street At that time, but between twenty-five minutes
and h an hour after nine he observed a cab stand-
ing near George-yard, and saw a person inside, who,
upon seeing him, put up the window. The cabman
was then placing the nose-bag on his horse. At ten
minutes past ten witness heard a cry of " Stop thief"
from George-yard. Went into the hotel. Saw
Smith in the custody of Mr. Warrener. Conveyed him
to the station-house, and, upon searching him, found
upon his person a skeleton key, two latch keys, a
knife, a half-crown, and a snuff-box. On the way
to the station-house in Tower-street, Smith said
to witness, " These poor innocent b-s have
nothing to do with it. I know that I am a
b--y thief, Wouldn't you go and rob a house
if you thought you could get anything ? It will
only be a drag. They could not give us more than
three months for it." Bilbre they reached Moore-lane
Smith said, striking one.liand against the other, "I'm
d-d, they have got t lot." Smith tried to make
himself appear drunk, b witness believed him to be
perfectly sober,
Tho witness, in his cross-examination by Mr.
Wontner, stated that upon going to the premises of
Mr. Warrener he found there was great confusion.
City policeman No. 553 stated that Mr. Warrener
gave the prisoner Howell into his custody. He found
upon Howell's person a screw-driver, a skeleton key,
four keys, and some matches, between the cloth and
this lining of his coat. Three of seven matches ap-
peared not to have been used. Thirteen and sixpence
were found in Howell's pockets. Howell said that he
used the screw-driver, &c., in his trade us a cabinet
maker.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Jan. let.
(Sittings in Banco.)
IN RE CRARLE4 CAPEA Was"
In this case Mr. Peacock obtained a rule for a habeas
corpus to bring up the body of the prisoner, who was
imprisoned in the island of Jersey for contempt. Sub-
sequently the Solicitor General carne before the Court,
and obtained a rule to show cause why the writ should
not be quashed fina improvideemanapit, or why a writ of
suPfreedeas should not' be issued, The Learned Gentle-
man obtained the rule, on two grounds—the first was that
the Court of Queen's Bench had not power to grant a
writ of habeas corpus which would run into the island of
Jersey ; the second ground was that, even sup-
posing the Court had the power to issue the
writ, it was a matter of discretion whether it
weald issue it, and that the present ease was such that
the Court would nut exercise its power in favour of the
prisoner,
Mr. KELLY, with whom was Mr. Peacock, now showed
cause against the rule. He did not think that the Learned
Solicitor-General would seriously contend the first
point, that the Court had the power of granting the
writ, fur there (maid be no doubt,but that the Court had
the power, both by statute and by the common law. The
statutes of the 31st of Charles 11., ch. 2, sec. 10, and the
statute of the sath of George 111., eh. 100, proved be-
yond question that the C curt had power to issue' a writ
into any part of England and Wales, Berwick-on-Tweed,
or the islands of Jersey and Guernsey. The second
statute extended the power of the Court over matters
which were not criminal. The only doubt ever
expressed on the subject was to be found in suggestions
thrown out in argument, but there was no decision or
opinion to be found expressed by any judge, to the effect
that at common law a writ of habeas corpus did not lie
iato the islands of Jersey and Guernsey. On the con-
trary, there were precedents for the issuing of such
writs. The Learned Gentleman then quoted Lord Hale
and other authorities, to show the power of the Court.
In 24 liarmwt p, fi34, 'lord Mansfield said that there
could be no doubt as to the power of the Court,
where the place was under the sulajeution of
the Crown, Some &Nitta had been suggested
whether the islands of Jersey and Guernsey
were within the operation of a British Act of Parliament;
but whatever might be the opinion of the people of Jersey
on this subject, the Court of Queen's Bench here had no
discretion but to obey the Act of Parliament, whatever
it enjoined. With regard to the second ground, as to
the discretion of tne Court, he apprehended that it aas
an abuse of the word 1, discretion' to say that the Court
could exercise it. It was impossible to fall into a greater
mistake than to say it was matter of discretion at ill.
When it was said, in the case of air J. VII-i.bhause,
that It wits tf4attel' pP di4eTetioii, the meaning was
that the writ would not issue at the mere instance of
Counsel unsupported by affidavit, But where there was
en affidavit showing probable cause that the prisoner
was unlawfully imprisoned, the issuing of the writ was
mat ter of right and not of discretion. It was a matter
of right to the subject, and ef imperalii‘e duty in the
Court to issue the writ. It was not a matter of course,
that as it was not to issue upon mere application by
Counsel, but upon probable cause shown, the
Court had no discretion but to issue the writ.
In this case Mr Charles Carus Wilson, who
was born in England, and a subject of the Queen, had
been seised by the Deputy Viscount of Jersey on the
23d of September and lodged in prison, which Impri-
sonment he swears he believes to be illegal, On the 23d
and 24th he asked for a copy of the warrant for his
detention, and the gaoler. John Cantilch, told him he
had nothing of the kind to give him. On the 29th of
September a paper was brought into his cell, in which
it was stated that he was condemned to pay a fine of
101., and was to make an apology to the Court, and was
to be confined till then. The Learned Gentle
man argued that this warrant was bad on
several grounds, the principal of which was, that
there was no means pointed out by which he could ever
obtain his liberty, because he was to be kept in prison
till he nude an apology, and how was he to matte the
apology ? Who was to accept It Prom him The gaoler
was net appointed to receive it, nor was he bound to
transmit it. He, therefore, contended that there was
sufficient ground before the Court to chow that this
gentleman was illegally imprisoned ; and he therefore
hoped the Court would set aside the rule with costs, and
then the merits of the question, which was one of im-
portance, would be fully cliscussad when the party was
brought before the Court,
Mr. PEACOCK followed on the same side.
The SOLCITOR-GENERAL, with whom were Mr.Wortley
and Mr. Smith, appeared to support the rule. The
Learned Gentleman, after arguing at considerable
length botk the grounds on which the rule had been
obtained, drew a distinction between the writs of habeas
corpus which were judicial as the writs of habeas ad
rospondendum, ad testificanduin, &c., which it was
allowed would not run into the Channel Islands, and the
great writ of habeas corpus ad subjiciendum, which he
would not contend the Court had not the power of
issuing. But the writ, in this instance, was not the
latter writ, but what was called the writ of habeas corpus
ad faciendum et reeipieedum cum causA. If, then, those
writs did not run into the Channel Islands, and it was
not contended that they would, if the gaoler of Jersey,
in obedience to this inferior writ, brought up the body
of Mr. Wilson, he could certainly bring an action for
false imprisonment. They were then in this position,
that if they did not obey the mandate of the Court they
would be liable to such proceedings as this Court had
the power of ordering to enforce obedience, and if they
obeyed, there could be no doubt that Mr. Wilson could
bring an action for false imprisonment. This was a case
of the most vital importance, because the Court was now
called on almost for the first time, perhaps for the very
first time, to issue a writ of this kind, and the Court
would hesitate before it placed them in a position from
which, do what they could, they could not extricate
themselves.
Mr. PEACOCK said that this was a new point altoge-
ther, of which they had no notice, but the Court would
see that the terms of the present application were to
show cause why the writ issued in pursuance of the rule
obtained by him should trot be set aside, On the tith of
November a writ of habeas corpus issued out of the
Court, directed to John Canolch, the gaoler of Jersey, a
copy of which was annexed to the affidavit, but they did
not say that was the one issued in obedience to the rule,
and of course the Court would presume that the writ had
be, n properly issued in obedience to the rule,
The SOLICITOR GENERAL said that it was not stated
that the writ issued in conformity with the rule, but that
it issued in pursuance of it. It was, no doubt, a writ of
habeas corpus cunt caustl, and as such the Court could
not act upon it.
Lord DENMAN—I don't understand you, Mr. Solici-
tor-General, to contend that the Court has not power to
issue a writ ad subjiciendum?
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL—Certainly not, my Lord.
Lord DENMAN— I don't see how you could do so. And
I suppose you don't contend, Mr. Peacock, that a writ of
habeas corpus coin causa would run into Jersey?
Mr. Peacocx—No, my Lord, I do not.
Lord DEN/tux—Then there is nothing at issue.
The SOLICITOR GENERAL—It has been over and over
offered to admit Mr. Wilson to bail, but he is so ena-
moured of prison that ho has reined these offers ; and
there was no doubt, if the writ issued, the result would
be that the prison doors would be opened to Mr. Wilson,
and he would be at liberty to walk out.
Mr. Justice COLERIDGE—What do you say to that,
Mr. Peacock?
Mr. PEACOCK said that Mr. Kelly was not present,
and he did not know how to act. He would ask for
some time, to consult with Mr. Kelly on the proposal of
the Learned Solicitor-General.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL did not offer the suggestion
as a proposal; he had every reason to belieye fact he
knew, that if the writ issued that would result
but if Mr. Wilqou was 3C4 PPEr4lo4lrOd of prison as nott„;
leave it, he must make application for a new wrio,
Lord DENMAN said that the first,.— • -
regard to the posse. e'

Mr. Warrener stated that one of the keys found
upon Howell opened the door of No. G bed-room in
the hotel
City policeman 469 stated that at ten minutes past ten
he saw Howell and Smith in the custody of the two
officers who had just given evidence, and he was told
by Mr. Warrener to apprehend Franklin. -Witness
followed Franklin from Fenchurch-street to St. Mary-
at-hill, took him into custody, and conveyed him to
the station-house, where a bag of large dimensions
was found in his hat. After the prisoners were
searched, Smith turned round to the witness and said,
" D—n me, you've got the lot. I suppose they'll
give three months apiece for it." Witness replied
that that was fur the Lord Mayor to decide up n to-
morrow.
In answer to questions from Mr. Wontner, the wit-
ness said that Franklin gave his name and address at
the station-house, and that the conversation between
Smith and witness just detailed was heard by the
other persons in the station-house at the time.
Jane Richardson, housemaid at the Georg- and
Vulture Hotel, stated that some keys and a glove
were picked up at the foot of the stairs when the
prisoners Howell and Smith was in the custody of
the officers.
Mr. Hobler—You don't know how the keys got
there ? Witness —No.
Mr. Warrener stated that the keys did not belong
to the house.
The LORD MAYOR, who attended very closely to
the whole of the evidence, and was most particular
in ascertaining the exact time at which the prisoners
Howell and Smith quitted the cab and were found in the
house, desired to be informed in what parish the
George and Vulture Hotel was situated r Mr. IN ar-
rener replied that the premises stood in two parishes
—the principal part was in the parish of St. Michael,
Cornhill, and the remaining part was in the parish of
St. Edmund the King and Martyr. The bed-room in
which the girl saw Howell and Smith was in the two
parishes, and he believed that one part of the bed was
in one parish and the other in the other parish.
The LORD MAYOR—Have you lost anything your-
self ? Mr. Warrener—Nothing whatever. The wit-
ness said, with respect to Franklin, he observed that
prisoner following the other two when they were in
custody, and saw that the moment Franklin saw that
he was watched he turned away quickly, and was
making off when he was apprehended.
Mr. Wontner then submitted that there was not
evidence sufficient against his client Franklin to jus-
tify the Lord Mayor in committing that prisoner as an
accomplice with Howell and Smith. The cabman
could not identify the two latter as the companion of
Franklin in the cab ; and as for the appearance of
Franklin in the hall, that hall was a passage common
to the public, and a complete thoroughfare, from ap-
pearing ►n which an inference, was not to be drawn that
he was aiding and assisting others in the commission
of an nftbnce in the room above stairs.
Mr. Hobler, for Howell, stated that it would, per-
haps, be a question with the Lord Mayor whether it
would not be most advisable to di-pose of the case in
a summary way. No property had been found upon
Howell.
The solicitor for Smith said that nothing appeared
against that prisoner, except what had been said by
the officers.—(A laugh.) No keys had been found
upon him.
The LORD MAYOR said he had distinctly heard
and marked the evidence in the whale of the case, and
hi% duty appeared to be very plain indeed. It was
his duty to commit all the prisoners for trial. His
Lordship declared that he by no means entertained
the opinion of Franklin's, case which Mr. Wontner
endeavoured to impress.. lie would, however, say no
