THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY MORNING-, MAY 26, 1842.

sition for the sake of procuring a stray vote or two. lie
thought the duty of is. Q.-more likely to be carried than
the proposition for a duty of 55., and should press his mo-
tion to a division.

The CHAIRMAN said that the division must be taken
on the proposition for the smaller duty first.
Strangers were then ordered to withdraw. Durin,,,,
our absence from the gallery we understood that Sir J.
Guest's motion was put and negatived without a division.
The Committee then divided upon Mr. Mark Philips'
amendment, when there appeared—

Ayes 37
Noes
Majority against the amendment —4s

The articles, eggs, hams, larA, pork salted (not
hams), sago preserved fruits, and tapioca, were agr. ed
to without discussion.
Mr. G. PALMER moved the resolution of which he
had given notice :—" That it is not expedient to alter
the rate of duties upon foreign vegetables, as propoed
in the tariff ; and that it would be unjust, in point of
principle, to take away the protection from that species
of British produce, whilst other interests remain protec-
ted." On the particular article of unions he proposed
that the duty should be Is. 6d.
Mr. G LADSTONE opposed the amendment. The
Government reduced the duty, because before it was
enormous. The lion. Member proposed to increase it to
70 per cent. lie trusted that the House would rtjeet the
amendment.

Mr. WAKLEY thought the persons represented by
the Hon. Member for Essex would suffer, and it was to
be deeply regretted; but were they therefore to neglect
to carry out good principles? He deprecated the atten-
tion to particular interests by Hon. Gentlemen. Thus the
Members for Cheshire having gained their point, left
onions to take care of themselves. The House ought to
support the Government proposition.
After a few words from Mr. PALMER and Mr.
GLADsTosE, the motion was withdrawn, and the
Government proposition agreed to without a division.
On the resolution imposing a duty of 2d. the cwt. on
potatoes being proposed,
Mr. STUART WORTLEY begged to be informed
on the subject. He understood that potatoes could be
introduced very cheaply from France, but he had no
knowledge on the subject himself.
Mr. G. PALMER said that a duty on potatoes. was
necessary for the protection of the home-grower. Ile
would ask for that protection which the agricultural in-
terest had a right to expect would be given them by the
Government ' • and he would, therefore, propose that the
duty imposed on potatOes, imported into this country,
should be is. per cwt., instead of 2d.

Mr. GLADSTONE sail that the present was a case
in which he felt perfectly convinced of the justice of the
reduction proposed to the Committee. He did not think
that it would operate, to any extent, in lessening the
ordinary price of potatoes. Indeed, he did not think
chat, in ordinary times, the customary price of potati tes
could be very much lowered, by even a free trade. The
great practical object of the proposed reduction, was to
prevent serious inconvenience arising to the consumer,
from a sudden increase of price, consequent on partial
failure in growth at particular seasons.

Mr. WAKLEY said, he believed there would be a
very great importation of potatoes into this country ; he
believed such an importation would materially lower the
price of bread, and, for that reason, he considered the
proposition to be an excellent one. He was not going to
attempt to calm the monster monopoly by saying that
there woad be no importation ; he believed there would
be a very large importation, and for that reason he should
support the proposition. Protect the potato-growers, said
the Hon. Member for Essex ; protect the people, said he
(Mr. Wakley). He was glad to see such a proposition
from the Government ; it was a very different thing
AVM the cry of " No surrender," and rounds of Ken-
tish fire.

Mr. AINSWORTH congratulated Hon. Gentleman
opposite upon the tariff as a whole, and this part of it in
particular ; he was sure it would be of the greatest
6ervice to the public, arid he hoped it would be carried.
Mr. S. WORTLEY said that the Hon. Member fir
Finsbury had misunderstood what had fallen from the
Right Hon. Gentleman, the President of the Board of
Trade. The Right Hon. Gentleman did not say that
there would be no importation of potatoes ; what he said
was that there would be no such great importation as
would at all injure the property of the potato-growers of
England.

The plaintiff in this case was Signor Benedic Negri.
.a professor of music, and the action was brought to re-
cover between 3001. and 400/. for teaching the Duke's
daughter music, for which he was to receive a.
guinea a lesson, and an additional half-guinea
if he was to remain longer than 'an • hour
in attendance. It appeared that the plaintiff was
recounnended by a person called the Count de Labat,
friend and adherent of the family and fortunes of the
Duke, as one capable of giving the best instruction.
The lady had made the greatest progress, and was
a skilful musician ; but v, hen payment was de-
manded, promises had been made that when the Duke's
rights were established in France, the claim would be
satisfied. The plaintiff, however, declined to postpone
his claim till those rights were settled, for it would ap-
pear that the Royal Family of France were. very stow
in recognising them ; and it was to recover coti►pensa-
tion for the services tie performed for the defendant that
the action was brought..
Eugenio Negri, son of the plaintiff; proved that the
Count de Labat came to his father's residence in Re-
gent-street in 1839, and engaged his father,
Mr. Cusson, a surgeon-dentist residing in Percy-street,
.was next examined.—He knew the Duke of Normandy,
very unfortunately. Ile lived in Cateberwell-green ;
had different houses at present. Witness's family had
been in the habit of visiting th.,re. Saw Signor Negri
instructing the Duke's daughter at (:amberwell, about
halt• a dozen times in 18::;9. Had no conversation with
11,is Royal Highness on the suljeet of the engagement of
Negri.
A young and extremely graceful lady, who stated her
name to be Amelia, Print ess of Bourbon, was next
audned by Mr. MILLAR :—I am daughter of the Duke. of
Normandy ; am acquainted with Signor Negri ; he his
.been in the habit of giving me instructions in music for
some time ; he was brought to me by the Count de Lab.tt ;
Signor Negri first instructed me in May, 1839.
used to come twice a week, but I was soinetlWQS delicate,
and he did not come then. He was instructing me about
two years and ten months. My father did not
live w►th us at that time. Ho was elsewhere.
He used to come every Sunday. We Were • ti,en
living with our friends., who were adherents to our
family and cause. When 1 came to this country,
I expressed a desire to my father to receive 'instructions
in music, but he did not comply with my wi-sh ; he did
not know that Signor Negri was attending me till a
month after it came ; he was satisfied that, he should
conic to me whet► he knew it alas not to be at his ex-
pense ; Signor Negr► em pn,,etattl tiiins...ll as a friend to
our house, and my lather told him that. he would
be well reiv anted Iv hen he ()lustily d his rights. My
lather made experiments of projectitea at Woolwich,
Des not recollect my father saying that if the experi-
ments succeeded he -hotthl pay Signor Negri.-
Cross-examined by Mr. JAMES.—My father has seven
children. The Count, he Labia ►s about forty-five years
of age. lie is attached to my father and his cause.
He expended a large foittme in my father's cause,
and gave up a magistracy in France. Signor
Negri, the plaintiff, said he was v4•ry poor ;
solicited money from us at times. The Count de Labatt
was often present a hen he was instructing me ; he, lived
in the house with us ;he .was our guardian. •
Signor 'Vitali Albera gave his evidence through a
French interpreter. He resided in the Duke's house for
a year and a half. Made a demand on him for Signor
Negri. The Duke said he did not owe anything, but
when he was in a position to pay he would remanerate
the plaintiff. Does not know that the Duke promised
plaintiff that he would pay Min if the experiments at
Woolwich succeeded. Witness told the plaintiff so from

parish officers.

Mr HUMPHREY, on the part of the plaintiff, here in-
timated that he could not. carry the case any farther, so
that the plaintiff was nun-suited.
Mr. Humphrey and Mr. Millar appeared fur the plain-
tiff; and Mr. James for the defendant.

:! t'~,~c

present.
A conversation here ensued between Mr. Clarkson and Mr'
Phillips re pecting the prisoner's funds. Mr. Clarkson stating
that the executors had laid a distringas upon all his proPertY'l
and he had not sufficient money to conduct hi's defense 10
proper manner. the
Mr. JAKIANE declined to mak, any ordersrespeetuf aid

now remand the prisoner fur a week, to give time for the ma.
pletion of the second case.

Yesterday a messenger from the Mendicity Society: wok' to
Mr. Maltby, and made the following communication. relative
h
the case tit Theophilus William Currie, who was charged
Court on Tuesday with having twice attemped to commit 'f
tide. A lull report of the particulars appeared in The Sun
yesterday, which, it seems, had drawn the attention of the 6
ciety's officers to the subject.
•'`lo the
The additional facts ascertained are as follow :--•
am unto of last year, the individual in ttue,tion came under t
he
Society's notice from his having been fiend by one of sera'
constables in a state of destitution ; on that .
sins he gave a s:.m-what sitniar account of hl;
self; his case' was then thoroughly investigated, and
`,ti
statement lit was mailly f :und. to be correct. It was. bow's ht
also established that tits distressed condition had been hrett,
on solely by the dissolute course of life to which he• hid *f
cloned himself, viz. by a fondness for loose company; and of , e •
treme indulgence iu habitual intoxication ; it likewise al'r
ing that on the receipt of any remittance from his relan,,
however considerable the amount, it was invariably and re

CHARGE or EMBEZZLEMENT AGAINST NICHOLAS
Suissx.—This individual, who, it will be recollected, was
remanded pending some investigations going f 'sward at
Milan, was on Tuesday brought before Mr. Jardine for further
examination.
Alesssrs. Phillips and Bodkin conducted the prosecution, and
Messrs. Clark-on and James the defence.
Mr. Phillips said he would Inns proceed to give all the evi-
dence in his power in the charge in question, for which pur-
pose he called
Air. Walker, who said he was clerk to Messrs. Jones Loyd
and Co., bankers. He produced the bank bo-k in which was
entered 2 01)01., paid in to acc-mot of Mr. l'hoinat Gra-
ham, by himself, on the 311 of February last; one note is for
btai/. No. 8,936 ; two for 3001., Nos. 54,370 and 41,:305 ; an-
other for 2001., No. 17,202; ant seven notes for 10W. each.
ilumbered, tiJ,O7 4, 76,742, 94,343, 95,70. &e.
Mr. Bra ant was in the firm of Capron and Cu., solicitors
to the er &tors of the late ‘iarquis of Herit' rd. Ihe prisoner
came to the office of the firm oil he 4th of April, and witness
called his attention to the fact of his (the prisoner's) having
remitted, between the ht and 9th of Febtuary, the eum of
9,2001. in two cheques. Witness then asked him how it had
been applied, and he replied that he took the amount credited
in his book for the current expenses, and gave the rest into his
Lordship's hands. The book now produced was the one allmied
to. Ibe prisoner hats giv, n credit' fir the sum of 2:351. on the
9th February, and that was the only sum ei,tered between the
Ist and the 9th.
By Mr. Clarkson—The prisoner came to the office on his
own account. Witness was acquainted with the deceased Mar.
quis. Had reason to know that.Suisse was in his entire coriti-
dence. Knows that the prisoner was vritru-ted with sums of
money to dispense by the i\larquis. Was acquainted with the
Marquis's will.
Mr. Clarkson then asked the witness, if he was aware of the
contents of the codicils ?
Mr. Jaantszt: said, if such questions were asked it would be
necessary to ermine the witne,ses again.
Mr. larkson said, he thought that all the clorges which
wets intended to be brought against the prisoner ought to be
made known on the prescnt occasion.
Mr. Janni NE said he lvd. nothing t.,! do with anything but the
case before him ; he could not call upon the prosecutors to pro-
duce an evidence except, what was sulticieut to commit the
prisoner for trial.
Mr. Brabaiit's cross-examination continued—There was no
other account-book of the prisoner's that he was aware of.
Knew that there was a great number of paid b,ll, in the
session of the executors, which nut not appear in the hook ; he
believed they were paid by the prisoner, and he (wit,ess)
ought to state that when pressed for au account of this 9,0001.,
the prisoner said the bills wouid account for a great part of it.
Witness could also state that the book did nut contain any-
thing like an account of the disbursements of the prisoner on
his master's account. The bills he mentioned are merely of
tradesmen's accounts.
Re-examined—After reckoning all the bills, there remained
2.0001. unaccounted for.
Inspector Partridge examined—Sa:d he took the prisoner
into custody on the 4th of April. Found in his room an 10 U
for 1,8001., a second fii 2501., and a third for 501. He also
found a receipt for 3,000 f.
Mr. Blenkinsop, clerk in the house of Messrs. Coutts and
Co., deposed, that cn the 7th of February he paid a cheque for
3,5001. to the prisoner. Amongst the no:es were numbers
96,702, 96,703, 96,704, 96,705, for 100/. each. •
Mr. Itabhett, another cleek at Coutts and Co.'s, deposed
that on the 7th of February the prisoner paid in 4001. to the
account of 31ailame Suisse The flutes were the same numbers
mentioned by the last witness.
Mr. Bodkin said this was all the evidence on the first charge.
Mr. JAaDINE said, as this case now stood, his' impression
was to commit the prisoner for trial
Air. Bodkin said there was another charge relating to the
stealing of 5i3 inscriptions for the amount of npvt ardsof 80,0001 ,
payable to bearer entitling the holder to the p.iyment of the
arno mt. Si. Caillisz had proved that he received from the
prisoner six inscriptions, forming part of the 58 ; he received
them from the prisoner shortly after the death of the Mar-
quis, arid they amounted to 30,0001. With respect to the
other fifty-two he was in a condition to prove that Mon-
' sieur Cailliez received from the prisoner the coupons, relating
to the inscription ; it was, however, necessary to show first,
that they ware the property of the la-e Marquis, When
31. Cailliez was examined he said that he took no
notice of the numb: es of the cow,- oris. but he had put them
into the possession 01 Cadliez and De Back, the bankers,
-and
it would be thetefure necessary to c.:11 some one from them to
prove the numbers. It. had been discovered on inquiry that it,
was not permitted to remove the coupons from the bank. He
(Jr. Bodkin) woul i now proceed to prove the purchase of the
inscriptions by the tate Marquis.
Mr. Fredetick Vande;:brock he is a clerk to Mr.
Adolphus D'Etchtal. a banker in Paris. lie produces tie
late Marquis's receipt for nine inscriptions for the annual vim
of 8,500 francs French rentes. They were purchased on the
3d of April, 1839. He knows of the purchase of six others
for the amount of 30,000 francs French rentes annually, which
he believes were sent to Milan on the Marquis's acnount.
