THE CLEVELAND ESTATE.
[Mr. Acland, the Anti-Corn-law Lecturer, makes
the following observations on the Cleveland estate, in
a letter to the " League" at Manchester. Mr. A. has
been delivering- lectures against the Corn-laws to the
tenantry of the Duke. of Cleveland ; and his corres-
pondence with his Grace will not have been forgotten.)
Among the Cleveland agriculturists the system of
bondage very generally obtains—as in the adjoining
county of go rthumberl and. The single men and wo-
men are " done for" in the firm-house, whilst the
married men have a house assigned to them, with an,
allowance of potatoes, and a weekly stipend of some
10s., conditionally that he holds his wife or some
other woman at command of the farmer, for field work,
the year round at Bd. per day ; and it often happens
that, when the wife is ill, or, having a family, cannot
leave home, the man has to hire another woman for
the farm-work at a•price exceeding the contract wages
he receives.
In the desolate region of mines and moors, there
are no farm labourers. The tenants of the herbage
are only hay farmers, and beast breeders. They
make hay in the summer, and their beasts cat it in
the winter. The frame work of the animals is thus
grown by the mere breeder, and then they are sold
and driven south, that they may be rendered fleshy
and marketable. These poor tenants and their sons
work by turns in the mines, and on their small and
Miserable holdings.
Almost the entire of the Cleveland estate requires
to be well drained. This was neglected by the late
Duke, because his hereditary successor had no por-
tion of parental good-will entailed with the estate ;
and because the present Duke is not yet rich enough
to pat his tenants on a par, in this respect, with those
of his spirited neighbour of Streatham Castle. To
drain the Baby territory, would require an outlay of
from 150,000/. to 200,000/. ; and in the anticipated
event of the repeal of the Corn-laws, it must be
drained by the Duke, or suffered to go out of arable
cultivation for grain production. Here, then, we
have the secret of the Duke's hostility to free trade,
and his abuse of the League.
Another observable point is tenure of the land,
which is year by year. Hence, and under the Chan.-
do's clause of the Reform Bill, the Duke of Cleveland
is a political landowner.
At the last election the Cleveland tenantry voted,
to a man, in the Liberal interest, whilst at the next
election they will assuredly vote with no less unani-
mity for the party of which their lord, for the time
being, is so brilliant and courteous an ornament.
It will thus be seen that the tenantry can only

The bankrupt was described in his schedule as a
bridle-bit maker, carrying on business in Long-nere.
In conjunction with Alderman Thomas Wood and
several others, he had been one of the founders of the
above Company, and at its formation being considered
worth upwards of 30,0001., was appointed to act as
one of its directors, and as auditor arid treasurer. In
the early part of the year 1841, he eommenced busi-
ness in partnership with his son, in Long-acre, and
he stated in his balance-sheet that he embarked capi-
tal to the amount of 5,0001. in the firm. On the
23d ult. the case was before the Court, and Mr.
James, who' appeared for the assignees, and Mr.
Howard, for , several creditors, having raised
objections, the case was adjourned to this day, when
Mr. Eill•wiN JAMES again appeared en behalf of his
former client, and stated that the accounts rendered
by the insolvent since the last examination were not
in the slightest degree,more satisfactory to the credi-
tors or the assignees. What they wanted was an ac-
count of the trade concerns, as 'a
bridle-hit cutter,
from the 12th of January, 1842, to the beginning of
the following May, as on the first day named he was
in possession of 5,0001. ; and they required a clear
and succinct account of how this was disposed of up
to the latter date,, when the fiat was issued; instead
of.which the balance-sheet was taken up with a long
called a " narrative " of. his ilations with
Cernian Thomas Wood, and the Talacre Coal
Company, by which he lost 11,4851.
Mr. Ashurst, the bankrupt's solicitor, said as yet no
further account could be rendered, but every means
should be adopted to be as explicit as possible.
Mr. Commissioner PANE eventually adjourned the
further hearing to December, not appointing any par-
ticular day.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.

OLD COURT.

(Before Mr. Justice ERSKINE andkr.Justice MADEE.)
POST-OFFICE PROSECUTIONS.—Thomas Holloway,
33, a Post-office letter carrier, was indicted for a mis-
demeanour in unlawfully detaining a number ofletters
that had come into his possession by virtue of his office:
Mr. PAT NE, on behalf of the prisoner, consented
that he should plead Guilty to the charge, and he was
sentenced to be kept to hard labour for six months.
William 1?n,.-.lsell, 32, also a letter carrier to the
Post-office, was indicted for stealing a sovereign and a
half sovereign, the monies of her Majesty's Postl
master-General.
The Jury found the prisoner Guilty, and he was
ordered to be transported for seven years.
(Before the RECORDER.)
Hannah Price, 26, was charged with stealing a pair
of sugar-tongs, three rings, and some articles of
wearing apparel, the whole being of the value of 1.51.,
the property of John Street.
From the evidence adduced, it appeared that the
prisoner had lived with a man named Hodges, a con-
stable of the R division, at Deptford, as his wife, and
they occupied apartments in the house of the prosectu
tor. On the 20th September, the prisoner left her.
lodging, stating that she should return .to tea, but she
never came hack. On the following day, Hodges
also left, and it was then found that the boxes of the
prosecutor had been broken open, and the articles
mentioned stolen from them. It appeared-that, on
the same day that the prisoner decamped, the man
Hodges " resigned", his situation as police constable,
and upon inquiry being made for him he could not be
found. Inquiries were subsequently made which led
to the apprehension of the prisoner at Hereford, arid
part of the stolen property was found in her possession.
In answer to questions put by the Recorder, it was
stated that the prisoner was the wife of a respectable
tradesman at Hereford, and that Hodges had been his
journeyman, and the prisoner had eloped with him to
London, where Hodges almost immediately obtained
an appointment in the police.
The RECORDER thought inquiries ought to have
been made, before persons were appointed to the
police force ; and he trusted this would have the effect
of inducing more caution for the future, in such
appointments.
The Jury found the prisoner Guilty, and she was
ordered to be transported for seven years.
Robert Fleteler, 19, was indicted for assaulting
James Stedman, and robbing him of a watch, value
251. Mr. Charnock appeared for the prisoner.
The prosecutor stated that he was a servant out. of
place, and about ten o'clock at night, on the 14th
August, he was in the Green-park, going towards
Constitution-hill, when he observed three men pass
him, and almost immediately afterwards he was
knocked down. One Of the men knelt upon his
breast, and the other two robbed him of his watch
and a few shillings in silver; and in order to get at
the money, the pockets of his trousers were rent com-
pletely asunder. The men went away, leaving him
insensible. It was a moonlight night, and he had an
opportunity of seeing that the prisoner was one of the
men who robbed. him.

Ipe to retain possession of their farms by

inquiry, and what is the amount of income arising
therefrom, and in what manner and at what expense,
and by whom and where, the lunatic has been main-
tained, and whether anything, and what, is due, and
to whom, in respect of such past maintenance, and to
whom, and out of what fund, the same ought to be
paid, and what is fit and proper to be allowed for the,
maintenance and support of the lunatic for the time
past and to come, . regard being had to the circum-
stances and estate of the lunatic, and from what time
such allowance should commence.
" 11. That the Commissioner be at liberty imme-
diately after inquisition, and without any special order
in the matter, to make inquiry, and to report, when-
ever it shall seem necessary, upon the provisional care
and management of the lunatic, and his property, and
as to maintenance, until committees or a committee
be appointed.

The police-constable, who apprehended the pri-
soner, on searching him found three letters addressed
to Mr. Stringer, the man who, it will be recollected,
was transported for life for robbing Mr. Churchill in
the Park.

- ig
ip every particle of independence, at the bidding
of
their political chief. Holding their farms as tenants
at will, they dare not invest their capital (if they have
ally left) in so bad a security as the yearly tenure of
the undrained soil of an anti-agricultural landowner.
But even the tenants of the Duke of Cleveland
think ; and the League has enabled me to open to
their inquiring minds a vein of rich ore, which you
may be sure they will work to its exhaustion and their
own enrichment.
We have done, and arp doing great good in this
district. The many thousands of tracts of all sorts
which you have forwarded me have been industriously
circulated among all clases of people, from Darling-
ton, in the east of Durham, to the very borders of
Cumberland, on its western extremity.
Rents, on the Baby estate, are nominally and
comparatively low, because the political serfdom of
the tenant is a portion of the consideration given by
him for the privilege of holding a farm, year by
,year, under a political landlord. And to which cir-
cumstance the fact that much bad land (worth less
than ss. the acre) is held with land of a superior
quality, that the farm is rented by the aggregate-
:acreage, and that but a very small portion of the
very best description is in as good condition as it
might readily be brought to by the process of draining.
. Low as may be the nominal or money rent paid by
the Cleveland tenantry, it is far too high for the
quality of the land and the nature of the tenure upon
which it is held. I have been credibly informed by a
gentleman of middle age that there are not six of the
tenants who hare occupied their farms beyond his
recollection ; and that none of them have been
enabled to realise an independence, and retire froth.
the cares and anxieties of life on the accumulations of
their industry. On the other hand, many are the
instances of farmers who have been sold up and have
died paupers, whilst there i 3 scarcely one ease to be
adduced of a farmer on the Baby estate who has been
able to settle his children without having recourse to
professions, trades, and callings in connexion with
the commercial interest, and dependent upon the
prosperity of that interest for the hope of advancement
in the world.

Mr. CIIARNOCK addressed the Jury, and called wit-
nesses to prove an alibi on behalf of the prisoner, but
neither Judge nor Jury seemed" inclined to believe
them.

ieldin

The letters found in the prisoner's possession were
then put in, and the superscription upon one of them
was Mr. Elvin, care of
Mr. Sretaridn.gelr,t Dwe'anszeals4riele°t7C:Farelinarliet."
Tne RECORDER having summed up, the Jury im-
mediately returned a verdict of Guilty.
The prisoner was then called up for judgment, and
the Recorder addressing him said there could be very.
little doubt that he formed part of that gang of mis-
creants some of whom bad been recently removed
from this country for robbery by means of extortion
and threats of the most horrible description, and the
Court, therefore, was bound in duty to the public to
pass a severe sentence upon him, the only doubt being
whether the full penalty of the law ought not to have
been inflicted. The law empowered the Court to re-
move him from this country for the remainder of his
life, but taking into consideration his youth, and
believing that perhaps to some extent he might have
been made the dupe of others, the Court would not
proceed to that extremity. The prisoner was then
ordered to be transported for 15 years.

The following may appear to some an extraordinary
specimen of the practical working of Corn-law pro-
tection, whereas it were by no means difficult to cite
many similar instances enutatiB mutandis) of agicul-
tural pauperism in connexion with low rents, un-
drained land, yearly tenantcy, Corn-law protection,
and ducal prosperity :
Charles Laybourn occupied a farm of some 200
acres in Langley Dale, as did his brother John a farm
of abut 150 acres.

" 12. That the Commissioner be at liberty, by
' certificate under his hand, and without any special
order for that purpose, to enlarge from time to time
the period within which any person approved of as
committee of. the estate of any lunatic ought to com-
plete his security.
" 13. That the Commissioner be at liberty, without
special order, to receive any proposal or conduct any
inquiry as to the managing, setting, or letting the
estate, or otherwise respecting the person or property
of any lunatic, and may report thereon as he shall
deem fit ; but such report shall be submitted for con-
firmation, as is now done with respect to such reports
when made upon special reference.
" 14. That it shall not be necessary for the coa-
-1 mittee, or the legal personal representatives of the
committee, to obtain a special order in the:inatter for
the.-taking and passing from time to time his accounts,
'but such committee, or his legal personal reprenta-
fives, as the case may be, do from time to time, with-
out any special order in the lunacy for that purpose,
attend. before the Commissioner, and have an account
of his recepts and payments for and on account of the
lunatic and his estate taken and passed; and that in
taking and passing such accounts, the Commissioner
make unto the committee, or his legal personal re-
presentatives, as the case may be, all just allowances,
including an allowance of his and their reasonable and
proper costs, charges, and expenses, and those of the
next of kin f the lunatic, of passing such accounts.
" 15. That the Commissioner may, from time to
time, determine whether all, or how many, and which
of the next of kin, or of the heirs of the lunatic shall,
unless at their own cost, attend before him on any
proceedings in the lunacy, and that no other of such
parties shall be allowed costs out of the estate, unless
by special order for that purpose.
" 16. That the Commissioner be at liberty from
time to time, and at the request of any party or other-
wise, to make separate reports, or a separate report,
and to state any circumstances as to the suVe
ter of the report, especially, as he shall think iit.
"17. That for the purpose of avoiding, as Much as
may be, expense and delay in drawing orders in lu-
nacy, no part of the statements in the petition be re-
cited in any order, but only the prayer; and that no
part of the Commissioner's report be stated in any
order except the Commissioner's finding or opinion;
and that before any order be passed the original peti-
tition or petitions be filed with the Secretary of
Lunatics.

LEIPZIC FAIR.—(FROM A GERMAN JOURNAL.)—
The fair of Leipzic is drawing to a close ; there were
on sale 140,000 pieces of cloth, two-thirds of which
have been sold at good prices. The sale of buckskins
has been considerable. The produce of the Low
Countries still carried on successful opposition to that
of France. The sale of English merchandise has
been of little importance, that of silks middling.
Leather sold rapidly, and at higher prices. Hardware
was quickly exhausted, especially for Moldavia and
Wallachia. Jewellery sold well. Cotton stuffs, of
German manufacture, especially from the Zoll-verein,
were taken at an advantageous price. Woollens have
had little success, and furs but middling. The mar-
ket was full of Russian produce, but it has not seld
yi ell. The retail merchants have sold very little,

BIRD TRAP EXTRAORDINARY..—UpOR the arrival
of the Elk engine at Nine Elms, on Tuesday night,
with the six o'clock train from Southampton, a lark
was found in the ash-pan (within six inches of the
fire-bars), which had received no further injury from
this novel species of bird-trap tlan the singeing of a
few tail feathers. It is now in the possession of the
engine-driver, and appears quite lively.
The Augsburg Gazette of the 21st inst. states that
on the 18th inst., a day ever memorable in the annals
of Germany, were commenced the works of the forti-
fications of the City of Ulm. A salvo of cannon an-
nounced the commencement. The works are to be
continued during the winter, and in the spring they
will be continued on an enlarged scale.

for stock, &c. Under Corn-law protection, and not-
withstanding what are called low rents, the young
farmers were sold up, some four years since, by their
landlord, who took all there was, and the old people
became paupers and died paupers. One of the agri-
cultural sons became a publican at Staindrop, the
other is a labourer in the docks at Sunderland. A
third son is a draper at Hartlepool, and the fourth is
also connected with trade.

Of the daughters, one is married to a cabinet
maker, and the other keeps a charity school at Stain-
drop, and honourably supports her widowed mother
under the walls of liaby Park, and within gun-shot
of the Castle of Corn-law protection.

Another instance may. lie shortly stated. A yeoman
named Ha wden rented a farm on the Raby estate of
about 300 acres at Wackerfield. Ile had four sons and
three daughters. Three sons were brought up to be
farmers • but two of them have emigrated to Aus-
tralia, the third remaining at home with his father,
and the fourth brother being an attorney. Two of the
daughters are married to attorneys, and the other to a
medical gentleman.

DEATTi OF MR. COMMISSIONER BOWEN.—XF.
Commissioner Bowen, of the Insolvent Debtors'
Court, breathed his last yesterday evening at his re-
sidence, No. 19, Portman-street, Portman-square. As
a Commissioner he will be remembered by all who
knew him for his kindness of disposition, and in pri-
vate life his numerous acts of beneficence not only en-
deared him to his own circle, but to many public in-
stitutions to which he was a subscriber. He had been
a Commissioner of the Court upwards of twenty
years, as also a Bencher of the Inner Temple, as well as
a Director of the Chelsea Water-works. Mr. Cooke,
the barrister, has holden Courts in Kent for the
Learned Commissioner, under the authority obtained
from the Home-office; and as the Court will resume
its sittings on Tuesday next, it is probable that until
a new appointment is made, a pro. tem. Commissioner
will be named to relieve one of the other Commis-
sioners, in order that the cases in town may be heard.
Mr. Commissioner Bowen was 74 years of age.
RACING IN FRANCE. —Notwithstanding the death
of the Duke of Orleans, it seems to be determined
that everything shall be done to keep up with spirit
the amusement of horse racing in France, and, in
consequence, to encourge the breed of horses. The
King has given his patronage to racing; the Go-
vernment supports it by liberal donations : the aristo-
cracy, in imitation of the King, favour it with their
Patrcnage ; and the mass of the people follow the gene-
ral example. At Chantilly the races went off with
spirit, but the attendance of fashionables was not
large, owing, however, to the very unfavourable state
of the weather. On Sunday last the Paris races took
place on the Champ-de-Mars, and, the day being
beautifully fine, there was a good attendance of a
