DISTRESS.
TL, Earl of IVINCHILSE begged to call the attention of the
ad.* to a report which was in circulation, relating to the death of
ive individuals in this metropolis, through the want of the necessa-
ries of life. Ile wished to ask the noble duke at the head of his
iNlap sty's government, whether he had any knowledge of the fact.
dle understood that 2,210 persons, who came to look for employ.
lent in the neighbourhood of the metropolis, were in a state of des-
itution. Was not this strong ground for Instituting an inquiry into
* cause of distress throughout the country ?
The Duke of WELLINGTON, in answer to the question put
ty !he noble earl, observed that he had not heard one word on the
AIN-et before that night. He understood that there were some pro!
de in distress on account of the state of the weather, but he had
'card nothing of persons dying through want.
The Earl of WINCHILSEA observed that what he had stated
shad been represented in the public press, as having been communi-
?rued to Sir Richard Birnie at the police-office. The deaths had
tken place in the parish of .Acton.
The Marquis of CLANRICARE took that opportunity of ask-
'g the noble duke if he had heard of distress prevailing in Ireland ?
The Duke of WELLINGTON had heard that provisions were
gh in some parts of Ireland, but he had heard of no dearth ofj
tovisions.
The Insolvent Debtors' Bill was read a third time, a clause pro-
by Lord Tenterden having been agreed to.
TUE GALWAY RHANCHISEMENT HILL.

The house having resolved itself into a cotnmitlos on the Galway
ranchisement Hill,
The Duke of WELLINGTON, in rising to propose an amend-
t to the Bill, read the preamble of the bill 4 Geo. I. by which
tain privileges were conferred on Protestants residing in the town
Galway, among which were, that every Protestant residing in
town for seven years should be entitled to the freedom of the
Aporation. The object of the above statute was to encourage Pro-
testants to reside in Galway. The present policy was to e
:very person to carry on trade there. The present act went
sway with the exclusive admission of Protestants into the corpora-
', on the grounds of residence, which would nullify the charter.
t charter had been given to the town in the reign of Charles 11.
permitted the mayor and corporation to admit to the freedom
/ person whom they pleased. No doubt the 4th George I. was
innovation on the charter, but it was done for a particular pur.
c, and he believed that no more than 100 persons had ever ban
iitted pursuant to it. If the 4th (leo. 1. was an innovation, and
it was no longer expedient to promote the object of it, why not
it altogether? If it should be now extended to all denomi.
s, no less than 6,000 persons would be now admitted. If it
exclusively a Protestant corporation, there might be room for
Catholics to complain. He understood that dare were 800 free.
of that town, the majority of whom were Catholics. There
as many freeholders, the majority of whom were Catholics; so
it could not be considered a Protestant monopoly. The fact
that if the present bill should pass, it would subvert the cor.
Won altogether, for it would admit no less than 5,000 persons to
freedom of that town. Under these circumstances, he submitted
t the 4th George I. should he entirely repealed, as not consistent
Ith the policy of the law of this country. The noble duke con.
uded by moving an amendment to the effect of repealing the sta-
tte of 4th George i.
Earl GREY, in rising to oppose the amendment, did not mean
support the policy of the stat. 4 Geo. I. the principle of which
y had been destroyed by the healing measure of last year.—
. measure having passed, could any noble Peer in that house
and say that a disqualification on religious grounds should be
itinued la a particular town in the west of Ireland ? The noble
then referred to the objections offered by the Duke of Welling.
observing that the rights of the Corporation of Galway did not
on the charter alluded to ; for it was a corporation by prescrip-
. antecedent to the granting of the charter. The noble Earl then
tuned into a history of that corporation, stating the various modes
acquiring rights to be admitted to the freedom of Galway enteie.
ant to the year 1717, when the stat. of 4 Geo. I. passed, which gave
'rotcstants, who should have resided seven years in that town, not
right which they bad not before of being admitted into the free.
mof that town—but to be admitted without paying a fine of 20s.
;was required of others. In 1727, the guilds which formed
part of that corporationeell into disuetude, as did also the Ft.
loos mode of admitting persons to the freedom. What he (Earl
ly) now contended for was not an innovation, but a restoration of
former customs of that corporation. The corporation of that
itown had not petitioned against the bill ; on the contrary, the ma-
iority of the Common Council had petitioned in favour of this bill,
which the noble duke had represented as subversive of the Corpora-
tor.. The five or six petitions that were presented against this bill,
rue each signed by Mr. James Daly.—(cheers.) He (Earl Grey)
'as very much astonished to see the noble duke come down with
' the weight of government to oppose this bill.—(clean) A
seer system of abuse had never been practised in any borough
in this ; for it appeared that several hundreds of the peasantry
been within the last few years admitted to the freedom of that
town. And who were these peasantry ? why the tenants of James
'-:cheers;) and the effect of the noble duke's amendment
id be to promote that abuse :—(cheers ;) for this James Daly
the patron of that borough. The noble earl then detailed the
Ivarious abuses which had been practised in that Corporation for se.
-eral years, with a view to promote political purposes. In 1792,
ho Corporation admitted to the freedom a whole regiment, officers
teed privates, in order to return a certain candidate. The object of
its bill was to confer an equal right on Protestants and Catholics.
ither than that the bill should pass with the proposed amendment,
. would have the bill rejected altogether. If the 4th of Gee. L
lwas repealed altogether it would leave the right of admission to the
entirely in the power of one person ' • which so far from asr
the rights of the Corporation, could only promote the abuse
_.i right.
After a few words from Lord lilawxnas, which were not audible
low the bar.
Viscount GODERICH supported the bill, as just and expe.
ent, and regretted die course pursued by the noble duke.
The Earl of WINCH ILSEA gave his most cordial and hearty
upport to the bill.
The LORD CHANCELLOR did not see why any party cons!.
leration should be mixed up with this measure. He approved of the
irinciple of the bill • but after the fullest consideration, he was of
pinion that it would be highly impolitic to pass that bill, unless in
le amended form proposed by the noble duke. Ile admitted, as
toted by the noble earl (Grey,) that this was a Corporation by
reacription ; but he denied that they had any other charter,
tcept that of Charles the Second, for all their previous charters
been forfeited, on account of abuse ; so that the only
,ter which at present governed that Corporation, was that of
narks the Second. He denied, as alleged by the Noble
!Earl, that Protestants had not obtained any new rights, by
statutes 4 Geo. 1 ; for at that period no person was admitted to the
'eedom of that town, except according to the mode prescribed by
charter of Charles the Second. Whereas that Act gave Prot..-
/us. who had resided seven years in that town, a right to be ad.
lifted, whether the corporation thought proper or not to admit
in. The effect of this bill would be to transfer the rights of that
'poration to a new description of persons. The population of
it town exceeded 50,000 inhabitants, and this bill would confer
freedom on no less than 5,000 of that number. The number of
:oars at present is that town did not exceed 1.600. The object of
the aii.,:.dinent of the noble duke, was to put Catholics and Prates.
ints on the same footing. by repealing the act which conferred an
:traordinary right on Protestants; whereby the admission to the
adorn of that town, would be governed by the charter of Charles
:he Second.

The Duke of RICHMOND considered the proposed amendment
a ira.a*ttre of disfranchisement, and on such grounds he should
ipose it. lie looked on the disfranchisement of 40s. freeholders
the most revolutionary and unconstitutional measure that had ever
brought before that house, but he did not then imagine that
wertunent should so soon endeavour to extend the principle of that
urc. The 4us. treeholders had been disfranchised because they
to vote against a Minister of the Crown. The present amend-
it was to disfranchise the Catholics of Galway, lest they should
. support an adherent of 31inisters. He en:rested their Lordships
oppose the anieralinent.
The Earl tai* WICKLOW supported the amendment, as more
insistent with t paity and justice than the bill In its present state.
The Marquis of CLANK ICARDE never heard& more irrational
station to any hill than was made to this. Some noble lords
it as ar invasion of the rights of the corporation, but that
_.)11 itself did not petition against it ; on the contrary, the ma.
ity of the corporation, and the whole town of Galway were in fa-
jr of the big. He regretted that the noble Duke should pursue
/illiberal a course ; it would only tend to keep up a notion of the
ixistence of that disgusting partiality by which Ireland had been
lverned for centuries.

The 31arquis ot LAI%SDOWN supported the bill. He looked
a the auk utitnent as an act of disfrarcbtsentert and spoliation. The
thole system o representation in England might be overturned ou

' The Duke of WELLINGTON replied, observing that his amend.
mein would deprive no person of a right which he possessed up to
this period. The effect of it would be, to place the inhabitants of
that town in the same situation that they had been in antecedent to
the passing of the 4th of Geo. I.
Earl GREY denied that the inhabitants of Galway would be
placed in the same situation as they would be in if the Act of 4th
Geo. 1. had not passed at all.
Earl DARNLEY supported the Bill.
The Marquis of BUTE supported the amendment of the noble
duke, as he thought it put the question on a fair footing. lle sup.
ported the measure of relief, but he could not sac how the amend.
ment was in violation of that measure.

Their Lordships then divkled, when there appeared,

SLAWDER.--Alooas v. RZYWIDIOX.....TLI4 was 4D action for
damages, fur slanderous words, imputing an atrocious offence to the
plaintiff, who is a respectable man. The jury had been sum.
moned to assess damages, judgment having been allowed to go by
default.- t. . .

The defendant and a man named Spence, both of whom are car-
penters, were engaged at work In a building in which other men were
also employed ; and they thought proper, in speaking of the plain-
tiff; to say that he was a person whose propensities rendered him
unfit for the company of other individuals. The prejudice natu-
rally excited by this description. which was expressed in the gross.
at terms, was calculated to do infinite mischief. The charge was
made before several, and under such circumstances as rendered
it impossible to by indictment for conspiracy, which was the
course the plaintiff have much preferred. He sought no more
damages than would place his character in its proper light, and be
adapted to the pecuniary means of his calumniators, who certainly
deserved no indulgence whatever, but who were not able to discharge
pecuniary obligations of any great importance.
Mr. POTTER, the Under Secondary, in addressing the Jury, re.
presented the dangerous charseter of the slander, and stated, that the
merest insinuation of the kind against a man was withering MS.
culty got rid of. It appeared, however, that in this cam the plain.'
tiff would be satisfied with damages proportioned to the means of
the defendant.

The Jury Immediately assessed the damages at SOL

in fact, the same. Spencer and the defendant in the former ease re.
presented the plaintiff in the terms above-mentioned, and the only
mode of reparation left for the plaintiff was by action.
It was not thought necessary in either case to employ counsel.
The Jury assessed the damages at Twenty Pounds.

UNCLAIMED DIVIDENDS.—A gentleman writes to
I thus :—" From the year 1791, until the year 1008, the Bank of
England, publihrd,about once in three years, a list of theunelaimed
dividends upon the different stocks under their controul. But iron
1808 to the present time only two such lists have been published.
namely in 1815 and 1823. It will be in the recollection of man)
of our readers, that 31r. Vansittart, while Chancellor of the Ex.
chequer, appropriated to national purposes, part of the unclaimed
dividends, to the amount of sonic millions. Whether such a pm.
ceeding--adreif it was authorised by Act of Parliament—was jets.
titled by any necessity, is a question that need not be hetc descantee
upon. It is enough to say, that in this case the personal !trepan
—and no doubt the only property, of many private individuals, Lid
for a time at any rate, fall a prey to a necessitous adminlstra.
tion. It is much to be desired that such an appropriation of
private property, should be averted in all time coming : and
how is this to be done ? Why, partly by the Bank of Engg.
land faithfully and honestly discharging its trust to du
holders of Stock, or their heirs and representatives. Man,
thousands of pounds sterling is well known to lay in the repositorict
of the Bank, unclaimed ; and many a poor man, now living—or
rather starsing—has the best right to a great part of it. But he it
kept in profound ignorance of his claims. No list of unclaimed di.
vidends has been laid before the public since 1323—n0w nearly sere*
years--and only two lists since 1608, a period of twenty-two years :
If ever there was one document that had a better title to be pub.
belied than another—once every three years at least--it is the last of
unclaimed dividends. You have regularly enough list. and state.
merits of all notes and coins in circuiatiort ; but no list whatever of
the money, bottled up by the Bank, which ou!,lato be in simulation
A peremptory demand, in one shape or another, ought to be made
on this very important item of public interest and public duty ; anel
surely, it is not too much to expect that Mr. Hume, Mr. Davenport.
Mr. Attwuod, Mr. Baring, or some other hon and public-spiritec
31ember of the House of Commons, would give a few hours of thti
time and attention to the ir.vestigation of the subject, and urge the
necessity—or at least the honesty—of publishing the list of stn.
claimed d.vidends once In every three years. It is clear, at all
events, that the Bank has little. or no right to swallow them up al
together ; and it' there really be. as there unquestionably are, divi
dentis that there can be no claimants tor. let them he applied to tea
necessities of a starving and emigrating people, or some other patri-
otic purpose. You, and others, may speedily have occasion to re•
vent to this very important matter in another shape. Various effort)
have been made to bring the subject before the public; but hitherte
without avail. You, it is presumed. haring your hands tied by tee
hardy, can have no objection to cemmuricate the content* of chit
nlnt .ty the public."
