make the following extract :
" The loweting the restriction k.
laying a duty of only 15s. per quarter,
to pay the whole duty, except is. per porter,
of the growers here, in lowering the restriction price, and will
not amount to any impediment to import; because, the ability
of the importer to sell is not regulated by_ the cost of production
in this country, but the cost of production abroad. ' Thus, ea
an average of years, wheat can be delivered in London at
355. per quarter. Add the duty 15s. makes 60s. per quarters'
and thus foreign wheat can be always brought to market at
50s. per quarter by the importer, to the ruin of the grown%
here, when the home price shall be 67 shillings per quarter.-..„
Thus the growers here must be sacrificed by •such a system,.
which is founded on feeding the population of ihis country arti-
ficially cheap, at the expense of every man embarked in agrical.
tare, and paying the taxes consequent on a residence in die
Country. But with our present taxation, 805. per quarter is tie
minimum at which wheat can be grown on an average Of years
in this country, and therefore, on the first indication of a failing
crop here, the price must necessarily instantly rise above 84s.
and the previous gradations will only present so many straws to
protect the growers,while the self-same inundation of grain as was
experienced in 1818.19 will again stock the market for three years."

The French Papers of Sunday are chiefly occupied

ings, when the King's Counsel rose, and strangely dis-
appointed the curious spectator's by the ibllowing mo-
tion r—ig As the .publicity of this cause might bring
with it serious inconveniences, we require that it be
pleaded with closed doors, on the day which it shall
please the Court to determine."—The Court being of
opinion that the public discussion of this cause would
lead to serious inconveniences, ordered that the plead-

ings should take place with closed doors on Monday.

Aida Grail steed indicted capitally for stopping, on the

Orbs of stealing, but not with force and violence.
The Common Seemwer said, he owed his existence to tic! wry
sierriful verdict of the Jury, and transported hhn for life.
Amp* iluggen, aged 42, was indicted for stealing a qua mil
of leatbw, the property of W. Guelder.
The only evidence against the prisoner was that of a boy
Mina Lorimer, who admitted, that he gave the 'prisoner the

Coaceast Swaimr directed an acquittal; observing, that
&wow be dangerous to convict a man of felony upon the on-
testimony of a boy, who, upon his own stewing, was a
and had rob6ed the employer of his own father.
The Jury returned a verdict of—Nut Gaily.
Mr. Ammons requested, that the Court would allow the
'trial of the last prisoner's daughter, a child of six years of age,
:zeted
who had been committed on a similar charge, to come on next.
The Court consented; and
JU lieggeU, aged six years, was put to the bar, upon

value 6s. the property of W. Guelder.
This case also rested solely upon the evidence of the boy T.
rimer; and Mr. Gadder being called, said he would not believe
him upon his oath.
The Common Sramrawr said, the law presumed that a child
of the tender age of six years had not the capability of knowing
right from wrong; and even if that were not the ease here, the
Jun, could not convict upon the evidence of that boy.
The Jury found the prisoner—Nat Guilty.
..
Mr. Anommus, addressing the Court, said, he was happy to
be able to state, that the mischief which might have accrued
from the committal of so young a child to Newgate, had been
nennteracted by the humane conduct of Mr. Brown, the G.ver-
sec of that prison, who had placed her under the care of a 1 taw,
and had kept her separate from other prisoners.
The Common SiRJZANT said, Mr.. Brown had acted as he uni-
tohnly did, in a most praiseworthy manner.
Mr. AbCiLPHUS said, the Magistrate who committed such a
child ought not to remain in the Commission another moment.
A Colonel in the Army informed the Court that he came to
speak to the character of Joseph Huggett, who had served under
him for 17 years, and was a brave and honourable soldier.
Mr. Guelder applied to have the boy Lorimer detained on a
charge of felony, but was told he must apply to a Magistrate.
