morning, you shall cause the person that neglects or refuses
to deliver up possession—that is, in pursuance of the notice
to quit—that you shall cause that person to be served with a
written notice, which means a notice of intention to apply.
in the form set forward in the schedule of the act." Now
we look at the form. "That you are to quit on or before the
expiration of seven clear days after the expiration, of this
notice." Then the act proceeds—" That if such person
shall neglect or refuse to deliver up possession; and if the
tenant or occupier shall not leave at the time and the place
mentioned, and shall still neglect to deliver up, or refuse to
deliver up possession, then the magistrates may act."
Mr. Kenyon.—Then I submit that the very words there
used meet the case. "Neglect or refuse." Refusal we sup-
pose a demand. I therefore say she has "neglected" to give
up possession, for she is still in possession. I submit that is
within the meaning of the act.
Mr. Hall.—Very well; is she still in possession?
Mr. Hornby.—Yes, she is; I saw her daughter there this
morning.

Mr. perhaps that will do.
Mr. Kenyon.—You perceive in the act you have power of
giving possession at the expiration of 20 or 30 days.
Mr. Hall.—Bless my soul, you are proceeding at railway
speed, quite. Tell me when your case is finished?
Mr. Kenyon.—lt is finished now.
Mr. Hall.—Then let the woman have an opportunity of
saying something; now Mrs. Gooding, have you anything
at all to say.

_
The defendant said she had a good deal to say, and pro-
ceeded at considerable length to give an old woman's detail
of her troubles. She said her landlord had behaved very
cruelly and tyrannically towards her; he had sent bailiffs
into her house last winter, when she was ill of the influenza,
and seized everything; and since then she and her daughter
had been lying on door mats which the kindness of a neigh-
bour had given to her. He had also stopped up her chimney,
and she could have no fire; they were suffocated with smote
and could cook nothing.
Mr. Hall.—He may have behaved, for any thing I know,
very cruelly to you ; but we have nothing to do with that.
Mr. Kenyon.—Be kind enough to ask her what rent is
due ? That will explain something.
Mr. Hall.—You were going to say something?
Mr. Kenyon.—You have a discretionary power to grant
a warrant in thirty days.
Mr. Hall.—Oh no; no such thing. It cannot be taken
from her till 31 days; It is not discretionary. The officer
cannot execute the warrant till after3l days.
Mr. Kenyon.—Cannot he do it, in your discretion, in a
shorter time?
Mr. Hall.—No. He must do it between the 21st and 30th
day. The case is proved; we shall sign a warrant on the
proofs alleged here, and it will be executed according to the
time provided by act of parliament.
Two other cases were afterwards brought forward, both of
which failed in proof, and were dismissed. Mr. Hall said he
should hold all complaints under the act to the strictest scru-
tiny, otherwise there would be great false swearing. It was
as foolish an act of parliament as ever was.

THE Zoot.ocrcAt. GARDENS.—Last evening, the last grand
gala of the season was held at these gardens. Being a beau-
tiful evening, the attendance was very crowded. A most
splendid exhibition of fire-works, by Monsieur D'Ernst, was
shown, and the gardens were illuminated. The fire-werks
excited universal admiration and delight.

IMPORTANT TO EMlGRANTS.—We—perceive that a vessel
of large burthen is announced to sail shurtly from this port,
for Sydney. This will be the first opportun►ty that has pre-
sented itself in Liverpool, for mechanics and farm servants
to avail themselves of the government bounty, for the encou-
ragement of emigration to New South Wales. We have no
donbt that many will be glad to embrace this very advan-
tageous offer.

PORTRAIT OF THE QUEEN.—The portrait of the Queen,
by Cousins, from the picture by Chalon, is now on view at
Mr. Goadsby's, and a very splendid work of art it is. It is
finished off in the most exqutsite manner, and we may safely
pronounce it a chef d'ceuvre. The figure of her Majesty ap-
pears to "come out" from the paper, while the drapery is
elegantly and tastefully thrown. We understand that her
Majesty has subscribed for no fewer than 40 copies, which
have been sent as presents to the various crowned heads of
Europe.
THE THEATRE ROYAL—During the week several stock
tragedies have been performed, with the attraction of Mr.
Morris Barnett in the afterpieces, some of them written by
himself, as " Monsieur Jacques," in which he plays as Mon-
sieur Jacques. We have not forgotten the thrilling working
up of the feelings which his acting produced in this pleasing
drama, since last he played in Liverpool, on his former visit.
We have not been able this week to pay attention to the
Theatre, so numerous have been other calls on our time, and
cannot, therefore, notice the performances more in detail.
We perceive that to-night is fixed for Mr. Morris Barnett's
benefit, when, no doubt, he will have a full house.
GRAND JUNCTION AND LONDON RAILWAYS.--We men

tioriella;t week the opening of the entire of the London and
Birmingham Railway. Since then the trains, which leav
London at eight o'clock in the morning, have arrived with
great regularity in Liverpool abou t seven o'clock in theeven-
ing, sometimes earlier; thus accomplishing the journey in less
than eleven hours. The London morning papers are received
by this train. On Monday next the mail, which will leave
London at half-past eight in the evening, will reach Liverpool
about half-past seven o'clock the next morning, and the de-
livery of letters and newspapers will take place soon after
eight. On the same day the arrangement between the di-
rectors of the two companies will be carried into effect, for
passengers by the first class trains being conveyed throughout
the entire line in the same carriages, and for each company
booking passengers entirely throughout. When these ar-
rangements are completed, they will give great satisfaction to
persons travelling on the line. NVe know that it is the anxious
desire of the directors of the Grand Junction and London and
Birmingham Companies to make the accommodations on the
railway as perfect as possible, but this cannot be accomplished
so speedily as some persons think.

TRIBUTE OF RESPECT FOR GOOD CONDUCT.—GB 9:`,.
day last, a very handsome silver cup was presented to Mr.
Millar, of Knutsford. It had upon it, beautifully engraved,
the following inscription :—" From Charles Cholmondely,
Esq., to Matthew Millar, in remembrance of his faithful ser-
vices for upwards of forty years.—Macclesfield Courier.
DRAIgON MANOR.-Sir Robert Peel, Bart., M.P., has
quite reovered from his recent slight attack of gout. The
Honourable Sydney Herbert, M.P., left on Monday last,
and Sir James Graham, Bart., M.P„ left on the following
day' for his seat, Netherby, in Cumberland. Sir Henry and
Laxly Emily Hardinge have taken their departure, as also
the Hon. Captain A'Court. I
WINDSOR, SEPT. 25.—Her Majesty and the Duchess of
Kent rode out at a quarter before four o'clock this afternoon,
attended by Lady Portman, Viscountess Forbes, Miss Quen-
tin, the Hon. Colonel Cavendish, and Sir George Quentin,
and accompanied by Viscount Melbourne and the Earl of
Surrey. Viscount Palmerston rode after the royal party
into the Grand Park. The Baroness Lehzen and Lady
Mary Stopford followed in a carritge.

The Hon. and Rev. Henry Maxwell who has been for
some time resident at Caen, in Normandy, by the demise of
his brother, Lord Farnham, at Paris, succeeds to the titles
and estates, worth 30,0001. per annum. The present peer
married Lady Ann Butler, eldest daughter of the second
Earl of Carrick, by whom he is a father of Mr. Henry Max-
well, M.P. for Cavan.—Morning Herald.

THE IRON TRADE.—In consequence of the great quantity
of orders received from the United States by the leading
houses in the trade, iron has advanced 10s. per ton; and
from the prospect which is held out, that the prssent heavy
demand for iron rails will be immediately succeeded by others
of a similar magnitude, it is now confidently calculated upon
that an additional 10s. will be maintained at the next quar-
terly meeting of the iron masters in the Staffordshire and
Shropshire districts.—Birmingham Advertiser.
THE REGISTRATION IN YORKSHIRE.—We point to the
revision of the West Riding voters for the polling district of
Sheffield with peculiar pleasure, as showing the alteration
of the conservative position, with reference to our opponents,
in a clear gain to us of 159. The clear gain to our party
upon the whole polling districts of Sheffield, Rotherham, and
Barnsley, now revised, is 218, a number which speaks in
plain terms that the reform bill mania has given place to the
more sober and substantial principle of conservatism.—
Shleld Mercury.
NAVAL HOSPITALITY.—A splendid dejeune was given on
Monday, on board H.M.S. Hercules, by the officers of that
vessel, to the gentry of Cove and its neighbourhood. At an
early hour dancing was commenced on the quarter-deck, and
was kept up with great spirit until late in the evening. The
quarter-deck was covered with an awning of canvass, fes-
tooned with the flags of the vessel. The band of the Hercules
played during the day some fine waltzes, which gave great
gratification to the numerous fair visitors, who were highly
delighted with the elegant hospitality and attention of the
gallant officers of this noble vessel.—Cork Constitution.
VETERINARY OPERATION.-011 the 15th of August last,
a cow, the property of Mr. Davies, of Skibeden, was tapped
for the dropsy, and 30 gallons of watery fluid taken front
her; and on the 29th the operation was repeated, and 45
gallons more taken away, making altogether the enormous
quantity of 75 gallons, and reducing her weight 5851b5. The
beast is hearty and doing well, and does not increase in size.
Leeds Intelligencer.
Yates, the manager of the Adelphi Theatre, in London, •
(says the Gazette Musicale,) has purchased from M. Tardivel,
the services of the Bavaderes, for fourteen months, for the
sum of £5OOO sterling; and has undertaken to fulfil that part
of M. Tardivel's contract which obliges him to re-convey the
Hindoo dancers to their native country, and replace them in
their pagoda, which bears the harmonious name of Tirouvenni
Lourhain.
The Prince George of Cambridge passed through this city
(Exeter) on Saturday evening, stopping about an hour for
refreshment at the new London Inn. His Royal Highness,
who was attended by Colonel Cornewall, then proceeded on
his road to Falmouth, where he will embark on board the
Braganza steam-packet for Gibraltar.— Western Luminary.
It is said that government has taken up the large steamer
Sirius, which lately made a trip to New York, for the pur-
pose of conveying the Marquis of Cianricarde to St. Peters-
burgh, the Firebrand and Lightning steam yachts not being
large enough. The Actaeon, 28, Capt. Russell, is ordered to
accompany the Sirius.—Hampshire Paper.
CURIOUS CASE.—On Monday, Mary Gretham, wbo had
been in confinement as a maniac, was brought before the Pe-
terborough magistrates for causing an obstruction in that
city. The unfortunate creature had been discharged from
the asylum, and, finding that it was impossible to gain em-
ployment as a female, she assumed the male dress in which
she then appeared, and had worked as a reaper of corn, earn-
ing twelve shillings an acre; after which she had two-and-
sixpence a day as rick-maker and thatcher until a few weeks
since, when, falling off a rick, she received a severe injury in
her hip, when her master and mistress, to their surprise and
horror, discovered her sex, which becoming public, she at-
tracted the notice of the idle boys and people of the city, who
followed her in crowds on her going to seek some relief. She
stated that seine money was owing to her for work done for
her late master, and she was sent to the workhouse until in_
quiry could be made into the facts stated.—Stamford Herald.,
The Shell steam-barge has effected another passage from
London to Oxford, where she arrived on Monday last. The
fact of hat having surmounted the difficulties which she must
have experienced at this season, owing to the extreme low-
ness of the water, is the best proof of her competence to make
regular voyages.—Reading Mercury.
THE WRECK OF THE FORFARSHIRE.—On Tuesday morn-
ing last the Superb steamer, Captain Davison, of South
Shields, when about eight miles out at sea, picked up the
body of a lady floating. She was dressed in a second mourn-
ing gown, had a gold watch with two seals by her side, two
rings on a finger of her left hand, one sovereign and a half
with 7s Gd in silver. and some keys in her pocket : her linen
was marked " L.M.P.;" and inside one of her boots was
written " Mrs. Patrick." This unfortunate lady is supposed
to be the wife of Captain Patrick, of Hull, and was a pas-
senger on board the Forfarshire steamer, when the late me-
lancholy wreck of that vessel occurred. An inquest was
held on the body at South Shields, on Thursday, and a ver-
dict returned of " Found Drowned."—Durham Chronicle.
THE PRIEST AT THE SALT WATER.—We have received
a very long communication regarding the conduct of a cer-
tain priest, who officiates as curate in an eastern district of
this county, at a watering place not ten miles from Cole-
raine, but the details are too indelicate to place before the
public, although we have full reliance on the veracity of our
correspondent. Suffice it, therefore, to say, that his rever-
ence has proved himself a worthy disciple of Peter Dens, and
of that " corporation of bachelors" whose immoral piactices
we described in our last. We understand that the particu-
lars have been transmitted to the titular bishop; we shalt:
therefore wait to see how his " lordship" will deal with the
culprit. We would recommend the two females who were
exposed to the beastly insults of the priest to institute legal
proceedings against the delinquent.—Derry Setttitter.
