CITY TITHES.

Wednesday, a deputation from the City Tithe Com
mittee and the Tithe Committee of St. Botolph, Aid
gate, waited, upon the Bishop of London, at his'
house in St. James's-square, to request his Lordship's
intercession and mediation in the disputes which have
arisen between the citizens of London and their Pastors,
as to the justice and legality of the claims made by the
latter for tithes. Aldermen Wood, Bridges, and Thomp-
son attended, and Mr. T. Saunders aid Mr. Blencairn
appeared with the deputation from St. Botolpli. Al-
derman Thompson stated tile complaints of the citizens
at great •length to the Bishop as his personal friend, and
ap, ealed to him to interfere, on the grounds, that sup-
posing the validity of the decree was beyond a doubt,
and the legality of the claim made by the Clergy of his
diocese clearly established, yet that the exaction of
such a sum as 2% 91 in the pound must be produc-
tive of interminable animosity, and do serious injury to
the Established Church. Other Gentlemen of the de-
putation spoke at great length, and declared that it was
the universal sentiment in the several parishes to pay
the Clergy liberally, but that they could not accede to
the exorbitant demands of imptopriators, who were far
from having the interests of religion at heart. His Lord-
ship received the deputation with the greatest manifesta-
tions of kindness, and expressed his regret at the contest,
but declared that for the present he mast remain silent.
The deputation then retired. A deputation from the City
Tithe Committee, as well as that of St. Botolph, A Idgate,
also waited upon Mr. Secretary Peel last week. Mr. T.
Saunders stated the case oldie parish of St. Botolph, Ald-
gate. Mr. Hurcombe, the Chairman of the City Tithe
Committee, Mr. Savage, and Mr. I'. Wilson, M.P. spoke
on the subjects of the general complaints of the other
parishes affected, and of those that were content with
the present demands of their Clergy, but required se-
curity for the future. Mr. T. Wilson declared, that
although he had in the first instance been favourable to
the claims of the Clergy in question, yet that subsequent
examination had convinced him that they were un-
founded, and that the citizens were fully entitled to the
protection of his Majesty's Government. Mr. Peel
declined expressing any opinion on the question at the
present time, and requested that returns of the amount
of the emoluments received by the Clergy should be
made to him. This was promised as far as the depu-
tation had means of obtaining them correctly, and the
several Gentlemen retired, after an interview of an
A hour and a half.'

BUCKINGHAMSHIRE ASSIZES.
AYLESBURY, MARCH 4.
Mr. Justice GAZELEZ on Thursday opened the Com-
mission for this County, the calendar of prisoners is
heavy, and neatly the whole of a capital natute. It is un-
derstood that the trials for murder will take place on
Monday. The witnesses against Lynn, for the horrible
and mysterious murder at Whaddon Chase, have ar-
rived. The unfortunate man is perfectly composed.
A man named Brown, commonly called the Sprig of
Myatt, has surrendered to take his trial on the Coroner's
inquisition, for killing a man named Scott, ia a prize
fight at Colebrook.
Mr. HARKER has the defence of Lynn and him. It
was stated in the town that the young Gentlemen
charged with the fatal business at Eton, are to sur-
render to take their trial at this Assizes.
Mr. Justice (ungs took his seat at half-past nine
o'clock, and the list of causes was called over. The
Grand Jury panel was called over, and the Marquis of
Chandos was chosen Foreman.
Mr. Justice GAZELEE addressed the Grand Jury, and
said, he should call their attention, as an imperative
part of his duty, to two cases in the calendar, one the
murder at Whaddon Chase; that case, in his opinion,
from many circumstances, required close attention, as
he thought it probable the case might become the sub-
ject of consideration hereafter,from statements as to the
prisoner's state of mind. The Grand Jury would, how-
ever, perform their duty in returning the bill, as the
case admitted of no distinction whatever.
With respect to the other case (of murder), it is the
law, that when any party of persons assemble without
an iliegal purpose, and without any intention in the
aggregate number to commit any deadly violence, and
one of that party provides himself with a deadly wea-
pon, and, without the knowledge or privacy of the
others, kills any person; then, between his case and
the others there is a distinction, because all cannot be
guilty of the murder of the individual ; but, however,
if any assistance from him, on the point of law, was
necessary, the Learned Judge expressed his readiness
to give it. It appeared in the depositions, that some
previous quarrel had taken place, and to this he desired
their par Ocular attention. The Learned Judge then
alluded to the case of Brown, the Sprig of Myrtle, and
said that the law had so often been stated on the subject
of prize-fighting, it was unnecessary for him to repeat,
only in general terms, the law of the case. The Learned
Judge having done so, observed, it appeared the battle
arose after a pitched battle between others had been
fought, therefore some consideration on that subject
would, of course, arise; but it was very clear all the
parties had assembled for an illegal purpose. Having
concluded his remarks, he directed the Grand Jury to
retire to their room.
When the Jury were about to retire from the Court,
Lord Nugent, one of the Jurors, asked his Lordship to
repeat his remarks upon the second case of murder, as
he did not understand him directly ?
Mr. Justice Games accordingly did so, nearly to the same effect
as we have already given them in his Lordship's charge.
The remainder of the day was occupied in the trial of tra-
verses of mere local interest.
