CORRESPONDENCE.

TO HENRY LAWRENCE, ESQ.

Let your kind and generous influences, upon all occasions, de-
scend upon schools, which neither dispose men to division in
Church, nor sedition in state, but which train up their sons and
scholars to an invincible loyalty to their Prince, and a strict, nu.
partial conformity to the Church."—BlSHOP SOUTH.

Six,—l take the liberty of addressing you, on the part
you have taken in the Council on the late discussion of the
education queaion there, feeling well assured, that your ob-
ject is only to do that which is right, and that your candour
will induce you to retrace your steps when satisfied that you
have been in the wrong.
I will

,unie, then, that an opulent person was induced
a sum of money to the corporation of Liverpool, an-
nexing to his gift a trust, " for the public benefit cf the in-
habitants," the very words in the 92d section of the Muni-
cipal Corporation Act, with a direction that one-fourth of
the income should be applied in the education of the poor
children of the borough. In such a case, what mode of
education do you conceive that the Court of Chancery
would enjoin, if the direction of that court were solicited, for
the government of the trustees? I apprehend that that
which the court would lay down is precisely what ought to
be adopted in the present instance; for the Town Council
are not legislators, with power to create and establish of their
own will, but merely local executive functionaries, to carry
into effect that which the legislature has directed, with re-
ference to corporate estates.

Now we do know what the Court of Chancery has lately
decided in the case of Bury St. Edmunds; and although
your kinsman, Mr. G. H. Lawrence, did not consider that it
had any bearing upon the case now under consideration, yet,
as I think it will be differently entertained by you as a
lawyer, I shall be at the pains of transcribing it for your
perusal before giving your vote on Wednesday.
Nocte interposita, metior sententia surgit.
I am, Sir, your humble servant,
RANULPHUS PRICE, L,L.D
Hope-street, 12th Dec., 1842.
