LAW REPORT. One LoRD CHASNCELLOR said he had read the plaintiff's evi- dence in this case, and wished to know how much of it was ad- mnitted ? Mlr. BrCKERSTE:TH repUed,thatthepart whichrelatedto'thede- clarations of Barker ttie father, and Barker the uncle, under whom the Plaintiffclaimed, was admitted. The LouD CuANCEIMLOR had never seen so much tra-li intro- duced into depositSons in hishTie. After making somse obserrations upon the admissions directed to be made by the-ladies climing as co-heiresses. his Lordship sacil, that if evidence had been given of spoihation, he kne,v what he would do; but the case was different if there had been an innocent loss of the will. MIr. HEALD observed, that this was a case between actual spolia- tion and an innocent loss of the will. There was something in this case which prevented one,from coming to the conclusion that there had been either an actual loss of tle will, or that there had been a spoliation of it. The LORID CHANCELLOR said, that he sometimes heard a good deal of a subject by overhearibg conversations which he ought not to he-ar. There was a gentleman named in these depositions whombe knew very well. Mr. IEALD said that oneiheard a great deal by hearing people talk. There was certainlv a gentleman mentioned in these deposi- tions whose name ought not to have becn introduced. The LORD CHA-rcELLoR.-It proves how these things are got up. 1 see in these depositions the name of a person whom I know very well. He is described as a gentleman farnier. HiR name is Edward. Thomson, usually caled " Ned Thomson." He was a person with whom I used now and then to go out to course; and I will do him the justice say, that no man had more address in find- ing a hare. I could not help smiling when I saw him here de- scribed as a gentleman farnler. lie was a clever feUow-a very cle- ver, shrewd man. His Lordslip added, that counsel might find amusement for some hours in looking through thest papers. He would ptonounce judgment in the case on Thiursday next. CRAW5ISAY V. COLLINS.

SOlin Lane, aged 25, was indicted for violating the persor of Charlotte Ransom, in the parish of Cheyeley, o. the 17th of August last. It peared from the statement given by the proecotriX (a pretty modest-looking young womao, only 15 vear of aze1, lbat hiaving obtained the consent of her mistress (Miss Pickenrig, who resided at Newmarket) to visit her aunt at Cheveley, she procerded from her house, and in passing dovn Wellington-lane she met the priSOner. B e inquired if she w as going to take a walk ? She replied she was, andi passed him for Chevdey. She had proceeded abput a quarter of a mile, when he agaia overtook her, and, wsslking by-ber side, asked her to take his arm. She refused doing so; whezi he seized her rount the waist, and forcbly threw hbr down on somec standing corn (putting his hand over her mouth to prevent her callingt out), and then proceeded to effect his purpose, which he acconr. plished. On the road to Chevel,y she met a woman and a sliephbel to whom she related the outrage; and the prisoner was appreheede; the same day. MrWlen called on for his defence, he said, that owing to his lbnw illness in prison, he had not been able to mAke one; but it ws etn_ dent this prbsecution was from motives of jealousy. The jury immedintely found him Guilty, but reeommended him to mercy on account of his youh. The learned JUDGE, in passing sentence of death, gave him no hopes of mercy. CAIUBRRIDAR.

Wehaveinsertedfromaeorrespondent a statement re- spectinig certain malpractices in the attainment of Curacies. lVe believe the heads of the church are not totally uinac- quainted with the existence of the evil specified, and are duly anxious to correct it: but it is (lifficult to prove an off ~a)cc ivhich both the party sustaining, and the party oom- ntitting the injury, are alike anxious to conceal. The Le- giBdature has, we believe, from the most laudable m6tives, greatly improved the condition of stipendiary curates. Perhaps too much has been done in this respect: public sympatlhy was awakened by piteous tales, whenever any fresh measure was introduced for the benefit of the hum- bler labourers in the vineyard. Every Jurate, thien, had a wife and five childrein at least, and( a miserable pittance to support them, of, at the most, but 5f0. per annum; The consequence is, that many curacies are become (lesirable things; and thercfore the jobber steps in to frustrate the benevolent intentions of the legislator, and share the pro- fits, In enr opinion the situation of a curate should only be considered as transitorv ; and we are sorry whenever young imen enter the church, without the rea- sonable assurance of a living, or the possession of some private fortune. A curacy should not be looked to as a final object, or a permanient settlement. Anotlher evil has also crept in, of whiclh, we believe, the Bishops are aware, anti which they are also anxious to pre- vent, but which yet frequently eludes their vigilance. We refer to the subject of titles for orders ; and we speak with some shame for those who, we believe, would also have a little for themselves if they were detecte(l. There are in- cumbents so unprincipled as to present young men to the Bishops for orders, witli aaequate stipends on the face of their titles, but with a secret agreement that the duty of the church upon which the aspirant is ordained, shall be by birm serve(I gratuitously, for one,or even two years. Nothing can exceed the dishonesty and treachery of this conduct on the part of the incumbents ; and yet we are assured that the thing is done.

This is a powDer. fli eriforcement of the Liverpool mnemorialj and will, no doubt, be followed up from every commercial body in the empire. The London petition is somewhat more specific than its prototype in describing the extent of. the recogri.. tion which it prays for, pressing upon Mlinisters more dis- tinctly and exclusively the States of Buenos Ayres, Chili, and Colombia, as being free, not only from any risk; of sub. jugation, but from every pretext for imagining a re-action upon them possible; since they are each, and have been f& a considerable time, in the regular and understood exerciss of all the powers of complete sovereignty-not a Spanish soldier or functionarv showing himself in any one- of these provinces.

'T'lhe Schatqfhausen Gazette gives an accoulnt of a s t cide committed in a miiost extraordinaty manner by a man at lift rot, who fl'ued his nostrils, mouth, and ears with ginpowder, and then blew off the top of his head. The weather has been hotter in Holland than in Eng- land. At the Hague the thermometer stood 92? degrees Fahrenheit in thc shade. Tlhe rap!(l increase in the amount of money expended on the poor, at the commencemnent of the late war, andt during its con- tinuance, was the subject of much declamation amongst a class of political canonomists, who considered it as a proof of the truth of their doctrine, that any attemtipt to alleviate -,he distress of the poor by a legal provision inifalliblv adds to their nunmberand their misery. It was in vain to tell them of the increase of taxation-the increase of population-the fluctuations of commrnerce in that agitated period -thie operation ofthe corn bill, and the depreciation of the paper currencv. " Poverty." they replied, " grows in propor ion to the means provided for its reliet." War and its train of attendant evils had exposed the poor man to the necessity of receiving assistanee from the hantd of his mote fortunate neighbour; and thUY assumcd- titat after committing this crime, he would ever aftcrwards be guilty ofthesins of poverty and depentldece,and that consequently the poor- rates would go on increasing. The reduction in theamount of rates, which has gradually been taking place during the last six .vears, has contradicted their theory; and now they tum round, and compute the expenditure on thie poor, not as before, when it suited their pur pose, by its amountin money, but by the quantity of food which can be purr.hased with it; ana they.say that it is now as great in pro- portion to the produce of the lapd and labour of the country as it was in 1817.

We cannot help suspecthig that the people of Irviand will be tlisapp inted, if they expect any important results from the late visit of the Righ,t Honourable Secretary to their country. What call lie do indeed ? Pity then, ? Alas! who does not do that ? Bat whvat advantage do they derive from the feeling of compassioni ? If einancipation were now capable of pro(ducing any great benefit, Mr. CANNING had no need to go to Ireland to convhice him- self of the policy of the measure. He should rather have sent some of his colleagues tlhither-his friend the LORD CI{ANCELLOt, for exam.ple. As to the repeal of the Union, or the translation of the United Patliament from London to Dublin every third year, these projects are too ab- surd to need refutation. Neither are we convincetl that the aggranaizeinelit of the capital of a king- dom exclusively, is a very desirable object. We are aure that the increase of London becomes traly for- mi(lable, and would be much more so, were it not that the commercial -townis in every other part of tbe island increase along with it, and some of them even in a more rapiri proportion. So, also, if the rest of Ireland were thrifty, we shoul(d wish that the capital imight take its share. But if iMIr. CANNING was affected by the misery exl4ibited to him in the city of Dublin, what would have been his. feelings if lie could have traversed some of the counties? The variety of discordant conjectures respecting the pur- pose of the Right Honourable Secretary's visit, and its probable result, is at least a proof that lie has been pru- dent-that is, silent. He appears to have copied Lord Bur- klghl, in the Critic-to have seen much, to have thought much, to have shaken his head, and said nothling.
