vireiterdaY a arallerld Court of Proprietors was
held at the India-House, for the purpose of taking
ineteoneopnareviteamaysubmitted
consideration two motitoo hnts;e
co noticeu r.
to f which had
b
One by Mr. &sense JACKSON, embracing. two
Resolutions :-Ist, That— no Proprietor should sit
or vote in a Committee, who was not qualified to
rote or ballot in a General Court ; and, ?Ally, That
no Proprietor should take a share in the debates of
any General Court, who .was not qualified to vote or
ballot in the same.
The other notice was by Mr. MIKE, that a bye-
law should be enacted, malting the presence of
sixty-four Proprietors Necessary to sanction any
grant of money, either in the shape of compensation
for losses sustained, or of remuneration for services
performed. •
The Minutes of the last General Court having been
read,
Mr. R. JACKSON addressed the-Court at consider-
able length, and proceeded to state, that the prac-
tice of unqualified Proprietors interfering in the de-
bates of that Court, though formerly permitted as a
matter of courtesy, had been latterly claimed as a
right. The law, however, on the subject was clear,
that none should interfere in the debates of .the
Court, or, in the words of the charter, 44 should
intermedille in the administration of the affairs of
India," who was not also entitled to vote respecting the
same; and the Court, should it deem expedient, had
an indefeasible right to enact such a bye-law. The
Learned Gentleman proceeded to corrobate his posi-
tion, by taking an historical review of the powers

" There is no other mode by which the Parisians can disarm
the vengeance which now so closely impends over them, than by
disclaiming for ever him whose crones have been the Just cause
of that vengeance. Paris, ander the white standard, returning
to loyalty and virtue, may he spared by a generous conqueror;

dictive sentiments which are attached to that hateful name."

swell that the letter purported to be from Lady

contents lie ought to be d—d. The lawyer was pre.
p'ared with a couple of Sheriff's officers at the place'
appointed, to arrest the swell for his honour/able
demand, and hired a carriage and a /ady,to carry the
scheme into execution ; but, unfortunately, the.,
verbal observation put the swell on his guard, and
he did not attend, to the no small mortification of
Mr. LATITAT and his two colleagues!
We vegret to find, from an excellent Charge of
Mr. Justice DAY to the Grand Jury of the county
of Westmeath, delivered at the late Assizes for
Mellinger, that a system of outrage prevails in that
county, similar to that which preceded the rebellion,'
of 1798. At these Assizes nine men were. con-,
victed of administering an unlawful, seditious, and
treasonable Oath and sentenced to seven years
transportation ; add six men were found guilty of,
conspiring to ~der, and actually murdering a maw
who had informed against the persons convicted of
administering the Oath, in order to prevent his giv.
ing evidence against them. The following is a copy
of the Oath

his forces and that I will aid and assist to plant the tree of
Liberty in Ireland, and obey the Officers appointed over me;

and that I will tit ready, on getting tea days' notice, to pet to

[Yet some time ago this writer assured us, that if
the French people identified themselves with Bona-
parte, they ought not to be separated from him.]
" In what momentous times do oc live ! Perhaps, the famous
city of which we speak, may even now be laid in ashes ! Per-
hap. and more weicom• be the omen, it may have returned to
its allegiance, and proclaimed its native Sovereigu, and set a
price on the head of that wicked rebel, who still. dares to call
himself the Emperor of Franre:"—Tintes, March 17.

It is a pity to spoil this morsel of Asiatic
beence, so worthy of the subject and the sentiments;
et the evident meaning of it it, that the French
must expect to do penance in sackcloth and ashes, or
consent to put on the old livery jackets, made 10
for them by our army-agents long ago, and which
'love unfortunately lain on hand ever since. If so,
they must needs be " pigeon-liver'd, and lack gall."
Yet we hardly know what to say to the chivalrous
and classical politicians of the Stock Exchange.—
They are not driven to this extremity of Gothic rage
by. the rankling inveteracy, and old unsatisfied
trudge of the Pitt-school. Yet surely no pitiable
enthusiast that

be repair
out of order. We bow willingly tel Lordoand Com•
moners, though we know that " a breath can make
them as a breath has made." Blucher, Wittgenstein,
Winziogerode, and Kttichigoff, are true heroes;
their names become the mouth well, and rouse the ear
,
as toe sound of a trumpet ; but they are the heroes
ofa day, and all that they have done might be as
well done by others to-morrow.. But here it is :
once destroy the great monuments of art,.and they
cannot be replaced. Those mighty gettioses, .who
have left their works behind them an inheritance to,
mankind, live but once to do honour to themselies'
"and their nature. " But once pat out theit light,,
and there is no Promethean beat that can their light
relornine." Nor ought it asses' Co .be re.kindled;
to be extinguished, a second Arne by, the harpies of
the human race. What have " the worshippers of
cats and onions" to do with those triumphs of human
genius, which give the'eterual lie to their creed 2
We would therefore recommend these accomplished,
' pioneers of ,civilisation and social order, after they
have done their work at the Louvre, to fellow the,

Copt, , , was enacted to exclude Proprie•
ton to a less amount from attending and discessing
questions in the same ; no bye-law, therefore, re.
garding them would be valid, unless passed with
their own consent, which was net proposed to be
done by the resolution in question.
Mr. It. JACKSON thought, that though from this
opinion, the holder of 5001. in India Stock was en-
titled, to *attend and speak in the General Courts,
yet the stela& must be held as described in the Act of
King Wilrsim. It could never be meant that the
holder of 5001. stock should be entitled to partici-
pate in any discussion. The question might be put
pro forma upon the first resolution, and might be
cenfirouid by. another Court.
Mr. PLUMMER moved, that a Resolution, passed in
1787, should be read, signed, along with others, by
Mr. Jackson, who, he stated, was not then qua-
lified.
Pair. JACKSON was disposed to admit that he might
,have signed some resolutions, when not qualified,
thrrlgh inadvertency or mistake.
Ikr.PLustxsa contended, that the honourable Pro-
prietor had signed his name, when he must have been
aware be was not qualified; and, in so doing, had
invalidated all the proceedings that had then taken
place. With respect to the second resolution of this
Learned Gentleman, he must maintain,

THOMAS V. JACKSON..
. Mr. Wimoitutt moved for supereedees el the
writ of prohibition which had issued in thiteese. It
wmi an action of debt, brought in the Court of the
Mayor and Aldermen of the City of London, come
monly called the Lord Mayor's Court, in which an
attachment had issued, on which the Defendant, with. .
out either putting io bail or plehding to the jurisdic.
port, had applied to the Cursitor of this Court for
kke City of London, and had obtained a writ of proa4
hibition against the Plaintiff from proceeding in Mei
action in the Mayor's Court, on an affidavit in which •
IN ;wpre, that Alto gauge of action ,did not arise within
the jurisdiction of the Court of the Lord Mayor of?
Ifedon; hut•in Woolwich, in the county of Kent.—
Mr. Wingfield now moved to have the prohibition
superseded on an affidavit by a Mr., ;Tones, an ate
Wiley, practising in the Mayee's Court, that the
prohibition had improperly issued, in respect the De-
fendant had neither appeared and put in bail to the
attachment, nor had made a tender of a foreign, plea,
one or other of which things he was bound to hate
done, before he could apply for a writ of probibi.
Lion. The Learned Counsel, in support of this
doctrine, readnu extract from Bacon's Abridgment,
under the title of Prohibition, in which' it is laid
down that a person applying for such a writ went do
so on an affidavit, in which he swear* that the cause
