ORANGE PETITIONS.

The following is the Petition of the Qrsoge lostite-
don of Great Britain and behind, of which hie Royal
Highness the Duke of CUMSBRLAND is Grand Master;
ts,e Eat! of Enniskillen,Colonel Verner, Robert Hedges
Eyre, Esq. Sir A. B. King. Bait. and Nathaniel Snetd,
Esq. are Deputy Grand Ma.t vs. and Henry Maxwell,
Esq. M.P. Gland &emery. These are already two
hnndred and fifty thousanil signatures to it, and when
all the counties are collected, the number will eueed
three hundred thousand. The Act which prevented
their meetings having expiied, the Institution was re-
vived on the 15th of September last:
Petition of tie undersigned Members of du Orange
Institution of Ireland, humbly showed',
" That at the period when the spirit of the revo-
lutionary jacobin, uniting u ith domestic treason, and
aided by a foreign enemy, had shaken to the centre the
very existence of the State—when the political aspect
was such as might dishearten the mist intrepid, the
Orange Institution was formed, not alone on pr m-
ovies of sell defence. but also for the protection it
the Thsone, the Altar, and the State. flow well they
diJ their duty in those petilous times, the thanks of
•he coustit•tted authorities, civil as well as military, ate
ample proof.

"That though our in•titntion is exclusively Protes-
tant, yet, detesting an intolet Ant spirit, it admit► those
alone into its brotherhood who are well knnwn to be
incapable of persecuting or injuring any individual on
account of his religious opinions ; its principle being to
aid and aoist the loyal of every religious persuasion, and
protect thery from violence and oprression.
d' That your petitioners are fully aware- that their
motives have, by the enemies of nut glorious Con•titu-
ciao, been misrepresented; if. therefore, it be now ntH
ceis try to e+tahli•h the legality of our objects, or the
purity of our intentions, the evidence we offer k, that a
Prince of the Blood Royal, the Duke of Cumberland,
is the Grand ,Master of our Older ; and that ever-to-
be-14mented Prince, his lire Royal Highness the Doke
.of York. enrolled his name amongst the members of
our institution,' and ,as an ardeut and sealouesup-
porter of it.

"'Coat when the Legislature had payed an Act for
the suppression of all political societies. your Petitioners,
though persuaded that their ins itrt•inn was not w ithin
the spirit of Y.. yet faithittl to their fundamental dech
rations, allegiance to the Throne, a d obedience to Ole
law,' set such an example as it was hoped would have,
influenced others to a like conduct; but in ptopo•ti sn
as your Petiti.,Ders showed their submission did the
Roman C4tholic Association exhibit the most open vio-
latiots and daring defisnce of that st Lite.
'• That they have viewed with alarm the influence
which that Association has requited, through the me
diem of their priesthood. over the peasantry of Ire-
land ; but particularly over the forts-shilling fie
hoPers, an overpowering majority of whom are of the
Popish persuasion. Unimpeded in its course, it has be.
,come the uncontrolled regulator and representative of
the Roman Catholics of Ireland. Assuming to itself
the prerogative of Parliament. it has established a wri-
ggler system of taxation on the members of its o• n
communion; and, to exhibit, it p. s ibleo et further its
utter contempt and defiance of the I.ws, bas called in
to its aid contributions from corresponding societies in
foreign States.

le That the purposes to which much of the fund • arising
from this illegal impost-is applied, are of a n.tute that
require the speedy interference of the le.rislatute.
" That the P•pish Priesthood, aided by the other
members of that Association, have returned an individual
of the Unman Catholic ; &suasion as a Member of yr ur
Honourable House, contrary to the express provisions
ef an ',ids Act passed in the 33.1 year of his late Ma-
jesty, which gra..ted to yersons professing the Popish
religion the liberty of vi ting in the election el Membe
5) serve in Parliament; and not cont. nt with such a
violation of the law,' the Ass• ciation has avowed its
hostility to any Member of your Honourable House (as
well as his M jasty's Minison.l who will act either in
opposition to its vi-ws or refuse submission to its im-
perious mandates. How far it can carry its threats into
execulion, the morn of that individual, with (Om
also, whose cause they espoused in tie late electiOns,
is ample pint; and your petitioners respectfully stet-
mit, that so long as the first section of that Act remains
in force, the freedom of election is endangeted, the
spirit and essence of the Constitution set at nought.
That the most unrelenting hostility to the Pr O.
t est ant Nlagistracy of this potion' of the United King-
dom, who are opposed to the r procr eJings or demands,
is openly manifested ; against whom vexatious legal
proceedings are taken by persons of the lowest rank, at
the instance of, and supported by. the Catholic Arocia-
tion—s system., f espi.rnage into the privacy e f domestic
Gtr activ ly • ngendeted—the con. exion which hitherto
exit rd betw.eit lanalord and tenant, the master and
servant, has beep hr• ken—the tie by which society has
been ft, Id tagether almost disseverel—distrust and
disunion base assumed a frightful head—the executive
of Ireland apparently paralyzed in i,s efforts, and the
influence rf the law itself placed in a state of abeyance
peti inners humbly submit their conviction, that
t'e concession of political power to persous professing
the Roman Carbolic religion must inevitably tend to
endanger ti e succession to the Crown in the Protestant
line, 'he conneziun between Get Britain and Ireland,
and again plunge this country in Papal darkness, igno•
ranee, and superstition.
" That of late years the society of the Jcuits,who"e
exister ce has been found incompatible with the safety
of los eign States (It 'man Catholic as well as Protestant)
has rapidly increased in wealth and numbers through-
out the United Korlom. The Society has es•ablished
seminaries for educat,on, to •h Ise care has been• en.
trusted the youth of the Roman Catholic Gent. y. The
history of the piss has shown that S ciety to be the
powerful and ready' agents of the Papal See, the bit.
Iciest and most active enemies of the Re'ormed Church;
and if their continuance has been prohibited in Papal
St des, your Petitioners humbly submit that its existence
in these kingdoms must prove highly detrimental to the
morals, and subversive of the religion of the pc pie.
44 Your petitioners therefore humbly pray, that yntar
Honourable House. will not grant any concessions to
the Roman Ca holies, and that so much of the statue
made by the Parliament .of Ireland in the 63d year of
his late Majesty, which grants permission to Papist= to
vote at the election of members to serve in Parliament,
and of Magi,frates in cities, towns Corporate, and Bo-
roughs, may be repealed,—that you 'will inquire into
the nature of the Society of the Jesuits, and aot permit
the continuance of such a dangerous body in these
countsies,—that that seditious Society called the Catho-
, lie Association be suppressed, and that, finally, you will
take such steps as itr yo sr wisdom you may deem cwt.

' Ritual piinciples of the Con motion in Church and

COURT 07 KING'S pENCH; IS.
DALOLEISH V. BRANIGAN ANTI ANOTHER.

This was an action to recover the sum Of 6561. from
the derendarts, as executors of Mr. D. Branigan, which
thait Gentleman had been indebted to the plaintiff. A
former action had been tried on this subject; and as
the def nclants had neglected to plead to the action, and
admitted that as executors to the deceased Mr. Brani-
gan, they had sufficient money of his in their possession
to pay his bill, a verdict was consequently given for the
ptrinriffs. On the judgment, the Sreriff made a return
that he could find no effects in their possession belong.
ing to the late Mr. Branigan. They had, however,
rendered themselves liable to the amount. The action
was u miefencird.
Mr Justice BATLEY directed a verdict to be given
for th plaintiff for only 6021.155. 2J. by deducting the
costs of the former action, and I s. costs.

DALGLRIGI P. LAWRENCE.
This was an action bronAht by the plaintiff against
the d feastant. a gentleman residing near Ipswich, on
a bill of exchange for 3331.65. Bd. Mr. Lawrence was
one of the defendants in the last cause, and the brother
of the other, and this b:11 was connected with the same',
transactions.
This action was not defended. and the Jury found a
itteidict for the plaintiff f 3441. I6s. which includes
the intetest on the bill from the time it became due.
Mr. GURNEY conducted the plaintiff's case.
BERRA:CORI V. WARESROTHER AND ANOTHER.
This was an action connected with the bankruptcy
of Messrs, Chambers, the bankers.
As these were may seven Special Jurymen pre ent,
and the defendants objected to the tales being called,
the cause did not proceed.
PREROGATIVE COURT. JAIL IS.
BEAT AGAINST CO%CHER.
This was a suit respecting an alleged codicil revoca-
tory of the will of the deceased, Mr. Peter Cowcher,
of Brixton-hilt, and who died on the Ist of December,
1826, leaving a widow (who had lived apart from him,
to differences. for some time), a son, and a clang!).
ter. In March; 1824, he executed a will, regularly at-
t sted,u hereby he bequeathed small annuities to the sun
run.' daughter, and the residue of his property (amount•
ing the whole to U) 00(1 )to them and their children.
After I is death the rifet in question was found, dated
0,t,iber.1826, bhich purported to be a codicil to the,
will, but beating initials oily, which totally varied the
di position 01 the loopetty, leaving the residue to Mts.
Elizabeth 'tray, his housekeeper, to the prejudice of his
Lentil ; aiding, that if bus wile, sun, or daughter com-
a eoced prrceeJings to set this disposition aside, his
executrices (Mts. Rea), and her sister) were to cut them
off with a shi hog. t 1 suit had already been brought
belme this Court to r spect to the will itself, which was
oposed bs r.e wiiow (.• ho took only an annuity of ten
pounds), on the glusind. that it was the result of an in.
tone dislike W het —that the deceased was habituated to
intoxication; and that he was under influence of re-
sstaint. The Court decided against the opposition, but
the case stood over till this suit could be brought,
to deride die vat dug of the codicil, in which the inte.
rests of a minor (.n only granddaughter) were con.
ned.

• Su J. Nicuot.t. said, the questions were—first, %she•
tier this paper was a finished or unfinished instrument ?
rind i:.condly. whether, if unfinished, it could be esta.
fi,islied as a valid testament ? Upon the first point, he
tias•of opinion that it was unfinished; and secondly,
be thought that the pafe, was not dispositise, but deli.
bet 4tive, dmi piobahly w pittrn hastily, u,:der the influ•
ence of some suiden impuhe, to which the deceased,
who W4l a stiange, e,:cen•rk, violent mars, additted to
ardent spiri.s, was ticquently prone. He pronounced,
the:eft/le, against t' e paper.
KENNY AGAINST DUNBAR.

This was.a pr.,ceeding in which the executor of
testator, who died in tie West Indieg, was cited to
show cau•e why probate of a will, dated in 1755, ob-
tair•'d in 1760, should Dot be recalled; and another will,
in f ,voni of an only child (a minor at the testator's
dearh, but now an aged woman) should not be proved
instead. _ _ _

• More the argument was commenced, Sr JOHN
Nicnou. interposed, and remit ked, that this attempt to
rip up proceedings After such a lapse of time, by way
of viper iruent, could not be countenanced by the Court.
It was nut alleg,ed that any effects remained unadrni-
trivered. or that there had been any misconduct on the
part of the execut, r.

Sound guilty, and which had been perpetrated with a

which denoted a long acqtrafritince with crime, war-
ranted him in passing something like a commensurate
punishment. If the prisoner's anticipation respecting
the country to which he was about to be sent were of a
flotering description, he would be much deceived.—
The sentence of the Court therefore was, that he be
transported for 14'years. •
John King (a negro and an old offender), and Bora-
kia Parnacat, a boy twelve years of age, were indicted
for stealing a quantity of bacon, the property of Henry
Binden, a cheesemonger in the London-road.
It appeared in evidence that the pi iseners were taken
with the bacon in their possession.
The former conviction of King, for a burglary, was
put in and read, as was the conviction of the boy Par-
nacat, for having stolen a till containing some money..
Verdict—Guilty.
The prisoner King was sentenced to be transported
for 14 years.

longs to the juvenile gang of thieves who infest the

OLD BAILEY—SFS3TUNs, JAWVARY 15.

These Ssicins comn:enced this morning before the
LORD MAYOR, Aldermen WOOD and ANSLEY, and the
City Officers. The presiding Judges are, Mr. Justice
PARK, and Mr. Justice James Pam. •

OLD COURT. -
Robert Barton, aged 38, described in the calendar as
a merchant, was placed at the bar, charged on three
indictments with•uttering forged cheqnes with intent to
defraud. The prisoner passed one of the cheques to
the Secretary of the Literary Society.
Mr. CLARKSON moved, on behalf of the prisoner, for
a postponement of the trial, he not being prepared with
the necessary evidence far his defence.
Mi. Justice PARK inquired if there was other busi-
ness ready to be proceeded with, and being answered in
the affirmative, directed the trial to stand over till Mon-
day morning.
Mary Rice, aged 43, was capitally indicted for steal.
log, in the dwelling-house of Wm. Squibb, a watch,
elniin, and seal, value 91. his property.
Mr. Justice PARK told the Jury, that by a recent
Act of Parliament it was necessary that the prokerty
Istolen (when it was not a forcible entry of the premises)
should be of the value era. toconstitute a capital felony.
The Jury found the prisoner Guilty of stealing pro.
petty to the amount of 41.195. thereby doing away with
the capital part of the charge.
William Holmes, aged sixteen, was capitally indicted
for breaking and entering the duelling house of C.
Templar, and stealing thetelrom a watch and other sr-
ticks, his property.
Sever al witneses were called, whose evidence clearly
proved the guilt r•f the prisoner•; some of the property
fi and in his possession.
Tote Jury returned a verdict of Guilty of stealing, but
not in a dwelling house.
William Connell, aged 22, plasterer, was indicted for
counselling and -procuring one Dennis Aaron to steal
two coats and other articles, of the value of 51. the pro-
perty rf Ellen Donde:dale.
Dennis Aaron, a clii;d apparently about ten years of
age, was regained by Mr. Justice PARK, at Rime length,
as to the nature and obligation of an oath.

of you, after kissing that book, if yeu till an untruth ?
Child—No, Sir.
Juooa—Where will you go if -you tell a lie?
Child—To hell flames.

The examination then proceeded, by which it ap-
pealed .that the piss:mei, on the 4th of December, met
the witness in the street, and entered into conversation
with him. He said, when they got opposite to a clothes
shop, 6' There is a fine stilt of clothes ; let us have a
spire." The wituess wanted to know what he meant,
