CONST AND HARRIS.

Mr. Twiss moved, in this cause, that an proceedings
directed by the late Vice Chancellor should be sus-
pended until the termination of the suit. The Learned
Counsel observed, that if this motion were granted,
considerable expense would be saved to his client, with-
out any injury resulting to the opposite parties.
Mr. SLIGIMN opposed the motion.

The VICE CHANCELLOR said that be could not grant
this motion to suspend all the proceedings generally.—
It had not been usual to make such an application to
the Court prom which the decree proceeded ; but if such
an application were to be made, it had always been the
habit to carry it before the superior Judge. As the case
now stood. this was unquestionably the same Court that
made the decree, and he was obliged to consider that
decree right until he had heard, on the merits of the
whole case, that it was wrong. He could not be jus-
tified, on any ground, in presuming that his predecessor
had made a wrong order, or in prejudging a case on
an interlocutory motion of this nature. He could not,
therefore, make any order, except such a one as would
not impugn the decree, and would save expense.

PREROGATIVE COURT, AUGUST 1.

This was the Sift Caveat day after Trinity Terse—.
The Court sat by Surrogate.

IN THE OSODS OP WILLIAM CAMMILL, ESQ. DICeAIIiD.

Dr. HAGGARD moved that the Court do grant joint
administration of the personal estate of the late Mr.
Campbell, of kussell-square, Chairman of the Board of
Stamps in Ireland, to the widow and the Rev. Daniel
•Campbell, brother of the deceased. Mr. Campbell died
in June last, leaving a widow, a brother, and a sister.
The infirm state. of Mrs. Campbell's health made her
desirous of joining Mr. Daniel Campbell in the admi.
nistration, and a prosy of consent was given on the part
of the sister.

that sonnet discrimination ; because k was more consistent with teal
humanity that capital punishments should, in many cases, still re-
main as a terror to evil doers, knowing, as he hoped the country
did, how their application was tempered by the forbearance of the
Judge, and their ..xecution averted by the timely humanity and
mercy of the Crown. He entirely approved of the determination
to remove from the statute book the penalty of capital punishments
in cases where it was quite obvious no Judge would permit their
infliction. In the place of such useless severity, he highly approved
or the punishment of transportation for life—it was one of the best
and re 'sr salutary punishments. He was one of those who thought
:bat re. ry man convicted of serious offences was not irreclaimable t.
but ..her persons exposed themselves to second convictions, then
iedcee the chances of reform were remote, without a removal
to another country, and a new state of society, where different
habits might possibly be inspired. A man cossekted of a emend
offence bad no claim upon the mercy of the society which he had
outraged, and had rendered himself any longer unworthy of the
protection of his country. It was therefore necessary for that
country to be spared a further repetition of his offences ; and
Indeed for the culprit himself, it was necessary, to save his own
blood, to step between him and his propensities, to stop the pro-
gress of his reckless weer, and prevent his ranging over the land,
like a beast of prey, " seeking whom he may devour." The coon- .
try must be spared the contagion of so infectious an example, and
the possibly wide-spreading taint of his dangerous contamination.
Not the least valuable of Mr. Peel's improvements in criminal
law, was that which enjoined the transportation for ever of parti.
calm offenders upon a second conviction. The benefit of Clergy
(as It was called) was taken away by the late alterations—a benefit
which bad its origin in early times of fully and superstition, and
was solely intended for the ptotection of those whose punishment
ought to have been rendered more certain by way of jest example—
a miscalled benefit to set up clerical transgressions against the seeu-
lir jurisdiction. Ily the old law,if a man committed several offences,
and that one of them was what was called eke:sable, be was by the
statute pardonable. As the law was improved, this absurd anomaly
was removed, mid if a man committed one hundred offences he
was triable and punishable on each. The Lord Chief Justice ex-
posed with much force of reasoning the absurdity of the old law of
benefit of Clergy, and its attendant incongruities of counter-pleas as
to identity, which were useless and • Impracticable. He particu-
larly solicited the attention of the Magistracy to that part of the
late improvement in the Criminal Law, which adverted to the value
of the production of certificates of former conviction, when persons
were brought again for trial, either st the Sessions or the Assists. If
this were not attended to, the new law would, like the old, re-
main a dead letter, and the punishment of transportation for the
repetition of the offence could not be inflicted. Nothing could be
easier than (or Magistrates, when cases of second crimes came
before them, to apply to the Clerks of Sessions, or Record °Mem
of the tribunals of which thelfhad heard, for the requisite certifi-
cates, and then to transmit them to the place to which the Mdi-
vidaal was committed for his next trial. There was one point to
which be was anxious to call the general attention. Heretofore
the prevalence of crime was found most remarkable in the large
and populous towns, where great and diversified masses of society
congregated, but now it was lamentable to find bow vice raged
among the yeomen and agricultural peasantry of England. Those
who had the means of influence over the latter must be seriously
and feelingly told, that law alone, however coercive and unbending
in its application, could not alter this painful state of things; some
other aid must be called in to abate the evil; a corrective must be
administered to the moral habits of the people before the vices of
the peasantry can be restrained or removed. The time was, in this
happy land, when an honest peasantry were really and truly "their
country's pride," and its best and safest defence. Let all the in-
fluential classes of society try and recover this noblest material for
animal security. The Clergy (as he had witnessed with pleasure
at the Cathedral yesterday) were lending their best assistance to
this good worlo—they were arousing the weeniest energies by their
eloquence, and leading them by their example. But eloquence and
example, however great, most be unavailing, until the people could
be taught self-esteem—until they could be impressed with the due
weight of bumble and honest character. Let the Gentlemen of the
country regulate the rate of the wages of the labourer independent
of the poor rates ; and when, according to the original Intention of the
laws for relieving human want, age and infirmities should visit the
peasant, then, and toot till then, let him be the object of humane and
careful protection out of sources independent of his own earnings.
There would always be poverty in the country, and always just
claims for relief, in every age and sex ; but; as a general principle,
he must deplere the prevailing practice of having the wages of
labour made up out of the poor rates ;mach a practice was impolitic
and fraught with much mischief ; it destroyed all prudence, it era-
dicated all self esteem; it removed the wholesome stimulus to
honest and virtuous exertion, and withheld the moral operation of
all the motives for regulating and controlling human conduct which
spring from a man's own sense of his possesoue of his own rem-memo.
No greater cum could befal any country, than a relaxation of those
salient springs of independent and virtuous action, which were the
best securities of personal conduct. A great country was not one
in which one class alone lived in luxury and splendour, but sent
where the large mass of its people dwell in comfort and virtuous in-
dustry. He, therefore, must be the greatest benefactor of his coun-
try, in whatever situation he moved, who by all the means within
his sphere of action, lent his aid to the accomplishment of the great
purpose of regenerating the moral feelings of the peasantry. This
good work, while it adorned the man, would save his country. He
appealed to the Grand Jury to assist in its accomplishment, as
legislators, as magistrates. as men. He Implored them to feel the
importance of performing this great duty. Then would they find a
decrease in the calendar of county offences; then would they find
an improvement among their labouring neighbours; and then only
'Would they have arrested the progressive action of vice, whieb DOW
deformed the surface of society.

This charge, which was delivered with great energy
and earnestness, excited an unusual sensation through-
out the Court and shortly alter the Grand Jury had
retired with the bills first presented to them, they re
turned into C.utt, and Mr. Benett, their Foreman, ad
dressed Lord Chief Justice Best in these words:
"My Lord,--I bay. the greatest satisfaction in presenting your
Lordship with this resolution, which has been unanimously agreed
to by the Grand Jury, and which, sells your leave, I now beg leave
to read."

Mr. Benett then read the following resolution:
"6 Grand Jury Room, July 30, 1827.
Residued—That the thanks of this Grand Inquest be pre-
sented to the Right Hon. Lord Chief Justice Best, for the able
charge which he has just delivered to us.
" That our Foreman be Instructed to present the above resolu-
tion to the Lord Cbief Justice, and to express to his Lordship our
earnest request that he will permit his admirable charge to be
printed, in order that observations so important may be more gene-
rally circulated, and that the public may receive the gratification
and advantage which an acquaintance with such valuable informa-
tion cannot fail to impart."

Lord Chief Justice BEZIT (with evident emotion) said,
he was quite unable to express to the Grand Jury his
thanks for this most flattering mark of their approba-
tion. What he had said in his charge was the extem-
poraneous effusion of his mind, arising out of what he
had seen and heard in his recent progress through the
country ; and he had, therefore, no note of his address.
11, however, after the circuit, he could recal to his me-
Aory the purport of Isis charge, he should feel much
pleasure in complying with the very flattering wish ex-
pressed by the Grand Jury.
Mr. Betarr.—We have seen, my Lord, that there
are reporters in Court; and perhaps, with the aid of
the notes of these Gentlemen, you could favour the
country at large with a corrected report of your Lord-
ship's admirable charge, at an earlier period than you
have mentioned. We are most anxious that the public
should profit, with the least possible delay, from the
enlightened observations which we have just heard with
so much pleasure and advantage.
His Lordship, by an obeisance, appeared to assent to
the mode of early publicity suggested by the Grand
Jory, and took immediate steps to secure its accom-
plishment.
The Court was occupied throughout the day in trying
common larcenies winch were of no general interest.
JULY 31.

jaws mead, a coal merchant and barge proprietor
of Devizes, and his son George Mead, were charged with
having feloniously stolen a quantity of horse corn, the
property of George King. The corn and sacks in which
it was found were traced into the possession of the pri-
soners, who were usable to ere any satisfactory account

of them. A number of witnesses gave the prisoners an i
excellent character, and the Jury found James Mead,
the f..zher, guilty, and acquitted the son. Lord Chid
Justice Bear, in passing sentence, declared, that were it
.not for the character which the prisoger had received,
he should have felt it his bounden ditty to have trans-
ported him. The punishment which he would inflict-
upon him was one year's imprisonment in the House of
Correction, and to be fined 2001.
William Tucker and Robert Sadler were charged with
having broken open the shop of William Alexander
Long, at Kingswood, and wilfully and maliciously cut
and destroyed four woollen cloths, value 201. It ap-
peared from the evidence that this injury was perpe-
trated owing to some angry feeling of a few workmen,
arising out of a dispute respecting wages. and the case
against Tucker being clearly proved (Sadler was ac-
quitted), he was immediately sentenced to transportation
lur life.

•
Some unimportant trials for sheep stealing also took
place—in one of them, Imes Milliner was convicted,
and sentenced to transportation for lite, the Chief Jus-
tice remarking, that were it not far the youth of the
prisoner, he should have undoubtedly left him for exe-
cution, so great was the prevalence of this crime. He
added, that if this example of mercy failed in having its
due operation, he should, if he came this circuit next
spring, undoubtedly leave for execution all offenders
who were convicted of this offence.

Thos. Shaw proved having seen John Baton as late as

Mr. Harvey, the overseer of the parish wh:re she re-

that it was generally believed in the neighbourhood that
her husband was dead. The man to 'whom she was
