We understand that it i. its the contemplati.o
of auine ineu.buie of the Livery of Loudon to con-
vene a cunaLou Lail, for the purpose of takiug the
opinion of that body as to the late climates intro-
duced into t. e reform bill.

At the late Lancaster assizes, in a case against
a man, *Ewen, who was convicted on Thesday
of being actively engaged in the riots at Wigan
during the late election, a witness, who happened
to be a freemason, *tared that the prisoner was
Tikr to the freemasons' Lodge in that town.
'• What, Tyler is the prisoner, eh ?" asked Mr.
Brandt. The pungency of the pun of course pro-
duced a burst of laughter, in which sir. 8a.•13
Vaughan heartily joined.

LAW REPORTS.

L'wd.ihip did not eome Into Court umil neat Twelve
o'clock.

An app!iestion wet made to him to insert a bankrupt's
petition m the papee. Lila Lordship having assented to
'he arrliration, a similar request was mole by another
Connect. His lordship very significantly declined lead-
ing to the request. by calling on the first Cage in the paper.
'• My Lord,' said ;he Advocate, " the ease is very pme-
ainp"
e LOUD CR•NCl.l.Loa—Haywood
Coussex—But, my Lard. the urgent". of the case re-
quires--
LORD CHANCZLLOST will hear astimaall but the eel*
in the paper. and let it he proceeded with.
Another Leaned Gentleman, not content with the refusal
just given to his Brother of the Bar, also made an applica-
tion relative to a Bankrupt'', petition.
His Lordship peremptorily refused to permit any other
pelitton to he put in the paper except those already there.
He had, he 'mid, been si:tiog in Court until 12 o'clock Imt
night, and had nor got through one case. He was determined
to ire on with the business regularil-
in the course of the proceedings the noise in the court was
very rear, and his lordship frequently remarked it. He
was at last obliged to older the Court to be cleared of ail
potions but counsel and attorneys.
It was impossible, however, for the officers of thy Court
to carry his Lordship's order into effect, and the Court re.
maimed as full as before, but not altogether as noisy.

PREVENTION OP NEARSAi-IMIAIIIXO.
The Lord Cnaarcxx Lou has been engaged on Thursday
in hearing bankrupt petitions. In the court of the day he
took occasion to say that he, with the other heads of the
Court, had consulted together upon the propriety of making
an order (the draft of which was prepared, but it would not
be passed into an order till neat Michaelmas Term) to pre-
vent irrelevant hammy swearing. The purport of the order
ly would be for the defendant to put such information
ftritoevtirte aflldavit at his peril, ualeas he gave the names of the
parties from whom he had got the information. so that an
indictment for perjury might be found, should it turn out to
be false. Also, to compel a party when he put parts of a
letter into an aficlavit, either to annex the whole of the
letter, or to state that it or the part not set out had been
lest. A ease in which it turned out that a poor man bad
been committed And kept in prison for three months by the
Vice Chancellor, upon idfortnatio• and bel.ef, has given rise
to this order.

brought before the Luau Maxon foe a second examination,
and he saw assembled around him. in consequence of the
publicity which was given to the first examination, about
fifty respectable tradespeople, whom he had victimised. He

OU IL ORA L Yesterday. Sarah Huai, ens of the DUMB
at Capplegate workhouse, was brought before Mr. Aldewstan
ficsoase, at the Instance of dlr. Alderman Wood and the
parochial authorities, for the purpose of ascertaining whether,
her vestment of a pauper, named Elizabeth Cooper. (upon
whom an inquest was held on Friday last,) would not war-
rant a committal for manslaughter. Elizabeth Collins, an
inmate of the ward in which the deceased, Elizabeth •
was confined to her bed, said, about midnight, on Monday,Ce
witness was awakened by hearing the deceased vomiting,
and calling upon Mrs. Hunt, the nurse, for assistance.
The nurse replied, if she was puking, he might puke
on, for she could not puke for her. After some time
deceased asked for a light, and a woman, named
Emig, obtained one. Nurse then got up, and witness pro-
cured • hale vinegar, with which the deceased's face was
bowed. She was then laid straight in her bed, and all par-
ties retired to test. As witness passed the bed. about three
o'clock in the day, she saw the woman was dying. The
nurse was shaking hes head about in • violent way, and
pinching her nose. She also saw her begin tying her legs,
and told nurse it was a shocking thing to do that be-
fog, the woman was dead. Nurse told her to mind her
own business. Witness could not bear such cruelty.
and went down to Mr. Cross, the master, and
asked him to send somebody up, as the nurse was
tying the woman's legs. Mr. CMS answered that
witness was able to take her own part. Mr. Cross then seat
Mar Ann Smith, the nurse of the Infirmary, along with
her, who untied the legs of the deceased. A school girl
untied her jaws. Mts. Cross sent up a Hide wine, which
was given to deceased. bat she could not swallow it. She
expired about half an hour after her legs were untied. De-
ceased had eaten a hearty supper of cold French boos and
meat on the Monday night. The nurse was drank when
she went to bed. Several other witnesses confirmed this
testimony. The prisoner was committed for trial, and the
Vestry Clerk promised to take Counsel's opinion, whether
an indictment for assault would hold good, after the party
assaulted was dead.
