which happened whilst Lord S. Churchill was driving
on the King's-road, Chelsea, in consequence of which
a female lost her life. Mr. Gurney was sure, when
the facts were fairly stated, the Court would feel that
the Rule had been obtained by misrepresentation, and
that it must be discharged.
Mr. SCARLETT did not object to the subject I,eing

time than could he allowed.

The Court was of opinion that Mr. Gurney had
better postpone shewing cause to a more convenient
opportunity, as there really was no time to hear him.

COURT OF EXCIIEWER, NOV. 19.

IN RI:. MACCLESFIELD SUNDAY SCHOOL.

The LORD Clime, and.oiler Barons of the Exche-
quer, were occupied, during the day, in attending
to the arguments of Counsel on this case, which
lyeing of considerable interest, many persons atten-
ded to hear it.

Mr. DAUM:EY stated the facts of the case, which
was founded on a petition from George Pearson, a
silk-manufactwer, and Thomas Roberts, a•surgeon,
residing in Macclesfield, praying the interfe-
: of the Court in certain matters appertaining to
Sunday-school of that town. Both the peti-
'oilers were mcmbers of the Committee which had

management of the School. This School was
dished in 1793, for the ecellent purpose of in-
_ing the children of the labouring classes of that
manufacturing town and its neighbourhood, as well
arts of reading and writing, both so necessary
civilized country, as in their duties to their

,xt TOR, according to the doctrines of the Esta-
tished Churcl+. During tke first year of the exist-
of the Institution, the number of children who
attended was 582, for the accommodation of whom
room was procured. But in process of time, as
number of children increased, more rooms were

, until, in the year 1813, when the number of
children amounted to 1,963, a building capable of
-ding sufficient liberty for a school was commen•
, on a plot of ground rented for the purpose for
term of 999 years. The Gentlemen who compo-
' the Committee, on perceiving the beneficial re-,
, arising from this excellent Institution, even when
contracted within the narrow space of one or two
loms, exerted themselves much in procuring sub-,
scriptions to this praise-worthy undertaking, and at
,gth, in 1814., the building was completed, at the
irpense of £3,967, of which a sum nearly. amount-
ng to £1,700, was borrowed fiont some of their
11-lends, who, desirous of assisting in the finishing of
useful work, willingly lent this sum to them.
Gentlemen became also Trustees to the Cha-
, and subscrib2l the contract by which the ground
the erection of the• school was leased to them.
. the commencement, in 1796, several rules and
regulations were proposed by the founder, who; be-
ag of opinion that religious instruction ought to be
considered as.among the most essential parts-of edu-
cation, regulated the School in such t manner, that
children regularly attended the Established
lip each Sua&fiy in the town. In this beneficial
it he was much assisted by Mr. Simpson, a Cler-
ai of the Established Church, who resided in
nun, and who, dining the last three years of his
, generally addressed the children, and explained
them their religious duties. After his death, in
` another Clergyman continued the useful prat-
, and in 1801, as the expense attendant on the
:hag increased, annual sermons Were introduced,
means of defraying it. The regulations of the
;cool were conducted by a Committee, consisting
iginally of seven persons, and two Clergymen ; but
-wards their number was increased to twenty-one.
thildren were distributed into regular classes,
the care of masters who all gave their services
iitously, and the whole internal was superinten-
,y one person, chosen specially for the purpose.

During the time when the subscriptions were
foot, many assurances were given by the Commit-
that the School would be conducted on the for-
plan, and early in 1814., the draft of an agree-
t for the leasing of the plot of ground was drawn
for the perusal of the Committee. It provided
t the School about to be erected, was for the edu-
lon and instruction of the neighbouring poor, in
doctrines of the Established Church ; and also in
the building should not be used as a School-
that it should be converted into a Dispensary
