      A Word On Land.

      A WORD ON LAND .

      (From Chxtnlers Journal, No. 1g4, New Sc...

      ( From Chxtnlers Journal , No . 1 G 4 , New Scries . ) C-rtain imi > i-ovcments made by Lord George Uiil on the estate of Gwccdorc , in Donegal , warn lately nuwta the subject of an article , which , wc understand , has given no little satisfaction to parii-. 's « h » entertain the idea that a proper system of laud allotments is the one thing needful for Ireland , or any other country with a poor and redundant population . On the question of land allotments , the article pronounced no opinion , nor did it evou allude to any such principle of rural arrangement . It presented only the intcre & ting narrative of a nobleman having reclaimed a hitherto intractable peasantry from barb . U'OUs habits , and settled them in small allotments or farms on a formerly mismanaged estate . For

      this , as the best , if not the only thing which could hi done in the circumstances , Lord George Hill , we said , deserves high praise . His conduct in every respect offers a bright example to Irish landowners generally , and wo trust it will not b-3 lost upon them . Out of such proceedings , however , as those in which his lordship has been cnjagel , arise some grave considerations as to ulterior consequences , ami on these we desire to speak frankly and emphatically . The allotment of small pieces of land—say one or two , or even four acres each—to be respectively farmed by annual or le .-weliold tenants , at a reasonable rent , is unreal advance on a universal

      confusion of holdings , as was the case at Gwendoie ; and not being aware of what Lord Gcorgo Hill primuses to do next , we cannot expivsa a definite opinion as to the probable consequences of his ger . erositi . There is no difficulty , however , in savin ' . ' what may be expected if tho arrangement bu left to work in its original form . For a few years , the asj ejfc of aTnirs will be greatly improved ; but by and by , the families of the settlers will increase in number , and remaining on the prop : vty , with or without suhdi \ Mon of lands , there will en _ s a conditio ! of poverty and wretchedness which it may defy every available expedient to remedy .

      Such must inevitably be the consequence of every scheme for allotting patches of land to poor agriculturists , unless at the same time provision be made for employing or carrying off to new fields of enterprise the redundancy of the population . After tho long experience of the wretchedness produced bv patch-farming in every part of the empire , Ireland iii particular , it strikes us as something very remarkable that men should bo seen advocating the institution of the practice on a wide scale , as a means of national prosperity . Fascinated by tho seeming humanity of bestowing allotments upon pauper , * , and gratified by the first appearances of prosperity which probably ensue , they altogether forget what is to come next—overcrowded cottages , new pauperism , and a poor rate which may pretty nearly absorb the whole rental of the parish .

      Humanity is an amiable virtue , but humanity without consideration suggests and does some very foolish things . At this moment a scheme is on foot in England and Scotland for buying and giving as acre ot land to every working-man who is a member of a certain association . In other words , a section of industrious and well-disposed operatives have , through the agency of some clap-trap humanityman , been deluded into tho fancy that each of them would be happy if he became the owner of a morsel ofland—land situated , perhaps , hundreds of miles from the place of his ordina-y occupation . We have no hesitation in denouncing this project as . one of the greatest folies ever conceived . While Nature ' s laws work as they ar < s doing , there cannot be a doubt that it will terminate in the loss and discomfiture of all concerned , Supposing , however , for the

      (From Chxtnlers Journal, No. 1g4, New Sc...

      sake of argument , that each of the members of i he association really does got his acre , has he fully reflected en tho propriety of leaving his present employment , and beginning to a certain extent the business of agriculturist ? also on the possibility o ! rearing a family on the proceeds ? Wo earnestly wish that the members of the association in question would ponder on these things before it be too late . It muv perhaps be alleged that the p < isses «< ion of a small ' piece of land in connexion with his cottage raises a working-man matcriallyin his own respect . and that itnffurds healthful occupation at leisure hours . We ftiireo with these propositions ; but here , as in all other matters , it is desirable to calculate the balance of advantages and disadvantages .

      Iii all casts in which a workine [ man has ' a reasonable assurance of permanent and properly remunerative employment it . - > vy particular place , it may be for his -advantage in various ways to own a house and garden or small piece of land ; but if he possess no assurance of this kind , and is exposed to the necessity ot seeking employment in another district , it will be preferable to rent by the year at most what accommodations ho requires . Instances of the advantages of small proprietorship are no doubt common ; but so also are instances of a contrary nature . In many country t owns and villages , a number of the inhabitants following handicraft employments possess small pieces of land , and also duelling-houses ; in Scotland , where they abound , they are termed bonnet laird * . Now , it is our conviction , from sundry examples which have fallen under our notice , that these inheritances are frequently injurious to families . Proud of their petty properties , proud of having

      a vote for members of Parliament , proud , of hem , ? lainh , they lead a poor struggling existence ; yet , attached , nailed , as it were , to the spot , they cannot be induced to remove to places where they would be properly employed and remunerated . On one occasion , a laird of this sort , who was starving with his family on four shillings a-week . which he realised as a handloora weaver , could not be persuaded to come to Edinburgh to be employed at fourteen shillings a week , because by doing so he would have abdicated hisdignity as a proprietor , and become only a plain operative . Tho heritable possession of dwellinghouses , or scraps of land , wc repeat , may in many instances bo injurious to working-men . It indisposes them for removal ; fixoi them to a spot ; wllCrC . 13 in order to make the most of their labour , which is their capital , they . ought to hold themselves ready at the shortest notice , to remove to places where the highest wages are to be obtained .

      Our opinion regarding heritable property generally is , that it is better in the hands of persons who makca business of letting it . than in the possession of those who at ence own and have to use it . Anion- ; thi ! middle as well ns tho humbler clases , where t . 'jcie is little chance of . any temptation or need for removal , the purchase of a house may be advantageous . In numberless instances , however , persons who buy or build dwelling-houses for their own use , get tired of them , or in time find them unsuitable , and arc tormented till they get them off their hands . Unless , therefore , from particular circumstances it is on the whole best to lease houses for private : residence , leaving capitalists , by general competition , to provide the accommodation wanted .

      With respect to land , it is , in tho greater number of cases , also advisable to leave it in " the ownereh'p of persons who lease it to others as a means of livelihood . Thus , for example , if the annual rant of an acre of land be £± . it will be greatly preferable for nn agriculturist to pay £ 100 . for the use of , a hundred acres , than to expend the sura ot £ 12 , 000 . in buying the propeity . And why ? Because in the one case he is binding up a great deal of capital , which may be of service in his own proper business of hu-bandry—beside * putting an embargo upon his personal freedom ; while , in the other , ho would not only keep his capital to farm the land properly , bub be so far at his ease , that at the end of a term of years he could remove to a larger farm , or , without loss , altogether relinqir ' sh the trade of an agriculturist .

      Landowners are usually considered as a very rapacious set of persons . Our notion is , that , ns a whole , they are considerably behind the age in point of ceoiininic knowledge—that they have allowed themselves to be far outstripped in" the adaption of means to ends by tho manufacturing and commercial classes ; but if by rapacity is meant the exaction of unwarrantably huge rents , the torn is certainly not applicable . In adventuring money in trade , it would be deemed a poor enterprise which did not return from ten to twenty per cent , of profit . Besides , money so risked may be turned over several times a year . A tradesmen , laying out £ 100 in a speculation in January , may hstve a final return of £ 200 before the end of December . The landowner has no

      such chance . In England , a freehold property in land may realise four per cent , per annum on the o-itlay ; and in Scotland , it really returns two and a half per cent . What a miserable affair is this I A gentleman spends £ 30 , 000 in buying au estate , and all he nets back yearly is £ 1 , 200 it in England , or £ 750 if in Scotland . ' Why the return should be so much less in Scotland , can only be accounted for by the fart , that in that country a certain imaginary dignity and political weight is associated witii territorial possessions , thus causio ? a ¦ competition which raises the value of land considerably beyond \ U fair commercial value . Assuming , however , that £ 1 , 000 or £ 1 , 200 is realised , the return is only annual . By no process can an agriculturist take more than

      one crop per annum ; and so neither can a landowner ret more than a year ' s rent for a year ' s use of his property . While tho manufacturer and merchant are daily planning extensions of their business , sometimes losing , but msre frequently making large sums , in reward of their ingenuity and enterprise , the poor landed proprietor is left to pine on his meagre rental , or draw consolation only from the prescriptive fancy that ho is the salt of the earth . A little consideration suffices to show that the landowner is a man more to he pitied than envied . His situation imposes on him a certain degree <> f state and r .-. tio of expenditure , too apt to be beyond his means , and whatever goes wrong in the country , on him falls the principal blame . At present , the arcater number of lauded proprietors throueltnut the United Kirgdum are in cliltietilcies . Everything tends to prove that , as a class , they arc not nuvnn - ing ; while it is iqually clear that the wanuliw-uring

      and commercial clasps , from the circumstances adverted to , arc already beginning to take tho predominance in wealth and social importance . It is not difficult to see how this will en : ! . The proposition that land is held in trust by its owners for the general good of the nation , tip pen rs reasonable ; for land is the source of food , and in the p roduction of this article in due abundance every one 'is concerned . Partly , however , from ignorance , and partly from the effect of certain laws of inheritance , land has scarcely ever been under a rational system of tenure ; that is , open to free disposal and c-unpetition . Pride has b ? en at the foundation of tho mischief . In some countries , the inheritance of laud belongs proscriptively t > the eldest s > n of too deceased owner , to the exclusion of his other children ; and in some cases , to make this principle of primogeniture doubly sure , tho inheritance is destined , ' by deed of entail , to go in all time coming to the nearest male heir of tho decen-ed On this

      account , large properties are daily passing into the hands of elder sons , greatly to the injury of brothers and sisters ; and , what is move painful , properties arcgoingout of families altogether , leaving ( laughters pretty nearly destitute , and arc seen passing into the hands of remote male heirs , who perhaps arc in the enjoyment of handsome estates already . This entail system is more rigorous ia Scotland than in England , and has greatly damaged the general and individual interest in land . Reducing the proprietor t <> thi- position of a liferenter , he is ind . tt' . rcnt to improvements ; aul if otherwise disposed , lie , has not tho moans toc . ve . aitcany bvno . ieiil alterations en his property . Lately , in pity of these unlbrt-inatc

      proprietor . ! , a law was pa-s . nl empowering tk .-tn to burrow money from the state to improve their lands . How humiliating tho position ! Wont would ha thought of the state toing asked to lend money to manufacturers U > renovate tlwir buildings and " machinery ? The universal ; ind pn > per remark would bo , that thoso who could not draw on private resources for such renovations , should sell their properties to men of urealcr wealth . The same remark , therefore , ought in propriety to be applied to thoso owners of lands who are destitute of means for their improvement . A law abolishing or greatly modifying entails , would have been the reasonable plan of procedure .

      Contemplating the evils which arise from a too rigorous law of primogeniture and entail , the people of other countries have gone to an opposite extreme , and instituted laws making it obligatory on the father of a family to leave his property in equal portions to all his children . This is a tyranny and a folly as revolting to common sense as the most outrageous law of entail . A man , by success f ul industry , acquires means to purchase au estate , consisting of a hundred acres of land . He has five children , three of whom rirc well behaved , and hava afforded him much comfort ; two are depraved , and act in defiance of all

      admonition . Ho would wish to divide his property into three , for the sake of the well-behaved ; but this tho law does not allow him to do . He dies , and the estate is divided into five equal portions . Each child has now twenty acres , and tho same law ag .- » in operates to subdivide . Suppose each to have five children , then each of these gets four acivs . There are now twenty-five proprietors instead of one . Butt he sub-division does not stop ; on ic goes , generation after generation , till at length the whole land is cut up into paltry sections not the stzi of a cabbage garden .

      Such is the proces « now going on at a rapid rate in Franca ; and any one who wishes to have a comprehensive idea of its consequences will find tho subject amply treated in tho lately issued number of the 'Quarterly Review . ' The only modifying arrangement in that country consists in the father bciinr allowed to leave by will a certain share of his property . If he has only one child , he can bequeath a half ; if ho has two children , ho can will a third : and soon . But this luw little practical efficacy , and as the father is aoU'loffpd to make a gift <> f liwnroncrtv

      (From Chxtnlers Journal, No. 1g4, New Sc...

      during his life , he is , in fact , little butter than a puppet in the hands of his ; family . Fat- better the most stern law of primogeniture than this grossly demoralising and impoverishing folly . It appears that with a population of ^ bout thirty-five millions , France has upwards of eleven millions of landed proprietors , at least five millions of whom own no more than five acres each , and a vast number not more than one aero . It is calculated that five and a-half millions of these proprietors do not realise individually above £ 11 . 10 s . annually ; and yet , with their families , they amount to twenty-seven millions of souls . Thus the great bulk of the population of France , with the name of proprietors in enjoyment or prospect , are in a condition allied to that df pau pcrs . That even in this abject and precarious state

      i hey enjoy greater tranquillity and indopemlence . than their forefathers prior to the Revolution , may backnowledged ; but to compare them—a poor , barelegged , wooden-shoed , half-clad , half-fed set of beings —with the artisans of Great Britain , would be manifestly absurd . Yet , as we have said , some people arc actually so insane as to propose a subdivision of lands in these islands on a similar scale . In certain districts of France the morsels of land are so small , that some families own no more than a single ridge ; and the consequence is , not only excessive p ' . verty , hut constant litigation as to the elucidation and settlement of rights . If this practice of subdivision remain unchecked by law , nn agrarian convulsion , more fearful in its effects than the Revolution of 1793 , will , in the course of another generation , inevitably ensue .

      Rise In Tub Price Of Brkao.—On Saturday ...

      Rise in tub Price of Brkao . —On Saturday last bread was raked in price generally throughout the metropolis , the advance being one halfpenny per loaf of 41 b . On Monday the price was again advanced one halfpenny more , making the charge by tho cheap bakers from 9 d . to 9 | d . for a loaf of 4 lh ., the full price bakers' charging for what is termed the bi-sfc bread from lojil . to lid . A further rise is anticipated . _ The Wosdbrs of Etukr . —The formidable operation « f removing the entire blade b . ine from a patient in King ' s . College Hospital , under the influence of ether , has been succeeded by a still more formidable one , performed with equal success at the London Hospital , by Mr . Adams . The patient , a yountr man ,

      while attempting to oil the wheels of an engine on the Eastern Counties Railway , was knocked off during the motion of the train , when the wheels of thirty carriages passed over both leg " , crushing them completely , almost us high as the knee on 1 oth sides . Tiic only chance of savins him was by the amputation of both thighs , to which the patient " readily consented on hearing that the operation could be performed without pain . In one minute and a half he was completely etherised . , andthe limbs were both amputated in 85 sccouls . During the operation the patient appeared as if in a tranquil sleep . When he recovered from the effects of the ether , he said that lie knew something was being done to him , but he had really felt no pain . Ho has progressed favouraby since the

      operation . A novel and interesting application ol ether has also been made to aid in reducing a dislocation of the shoulder , of three weeks' standing . Dislocated limbs arc , in general , readily " put in " asain , provided tho attempt be made immediately ; but if delayed , the bone get-- fixed in its new situai ion , and the muscles adapting themselves to the change , render it excessively difficult to overpower them ; a process which when attempted after some weeks , is exceedingly tedious , exceedingly painful , and in numerous instances fruitless . The following case , however , shows that we now possess a very promising aid in these accidents , in the uss of ether . At the Middlesex Hospital a farmer was admitted whs had dislocated his shoulder three weeks before . The real nature of the accident was not at first discovered . The

      surgeon who afterwards detected it , endeavoured to restore the bone to its socket : but the muscular resistance was too groat , and he failed . The patient then came to London . He Said he had suffered severely from the attempts already made to restore the bone to its piece . . With a view to relax tho muscles , and also to prevent pain , the ether was administered ; extension of the arm was made , the bone moved immediately , and in five minutes was in its place . The sensation felt by the patient during the process he described as a " numbing" feeling , not a pain . Tno other cases have occurred , in which the nails of the great toes have been extracted without pain ; one at the Middlesex Hospital , whea , immediately after the operation , the patient declared he

      felt no pain in his feet , and wished to prove this by dancing the Polka . As this illustration was not permitted , ' he was obliged to content h niself with whist ' . ing the tune , which he did mo . it lustily . In a short time theexcitcment passed off , and he resumed his usual quiet manner . Un Saturday afternoon Thomas Wakley , juu ., E-q , surgeon to tho Royal Free Hospital , performed a very difficult operation upon Aliss Ann Skeen , a »» tl 20 years , in the presence of several medical gentlemen connected with the charity . The ether having been administered by Mr . T . W . Cooke , the house surgeon , and inhaled a s ' lort time by the patient , a tumour of a cancerous nature was removed trout the right breast . Un rccov- ring from the effects of tho vapour , the patient spoke some incoherent sentences , and asked if to : no oau had not been pricking her with a pin , and , on further recovery , ob served that she would rath' * r defer the operation , and was greatly astonished on finding it already effected .

      Allkogo Child Mchdeii—By Mr . W . Carter , at the Rose , Russell-streC , Ecrmondsey , on the body of a fine male child , which was supposed to have been murdered . On Wcdiu sday last , as a shipwright was at work on a vessel at tli- ' East-lane tier , licrmyiiuVy , h- ; observed the b-. itly of a child to rise up from under a fi Kiting stage attached to the side of the ship , fie got . it out , and found it was tiic body of a full grown ina ' e child , quite naked , and very much decomposed , having been in the water some time . Mr . Ferguson , a surgeon , who had examined the body , said he f juud no external marks of violence ; the child appeared to have been born nbiut a form glit . The lungs were filled , and the child had breathed ; they also floated in water . He thought the child had breathed after the birth , but it was difficult to say accurately . The jury ivturnci a verdict tint the deceased was found dead , but they had no sufuVieat evidence as to the causa of it .

      A Mad Cow . —Oa Sunday morning a mad ciw perambulated the various streets in LarabHh , Ivmnington , and Soutiiwark f-r hou . 's in a very furious a-id in-iddcaed state , inflicting severe anil it is faired fatal injuries on several individuals , who were unable to gc out of it * w . iy . The cow was being driven ovir Blnekii lira Bridge , and had proceeded very quietly until ir . reached atamford-strcet , when she ru » hed on to the pivement at an aged female stllng oranges , who io't \ mr goods and ran i . ito the nearest gateway . The c > w then darted along the pavement at a furious rate , f . dhiwed by at least two hundred persons , until it reached the Elephant and C-is ic Tavo-n , where she paid a visit among the omnibus-d .-ivers , & a ., who m . muted choir

      vehicles for safety . Sir . th-m rushed among a party of men who were at woris rermiciitg the wat « r- pi ;> ' -s facing tlu Fislr . n inkers' Al-iisltimes , High s . reet , Newington , where she e . v . is-j d tho utnn-t alarm . A large lire which they were miug tor melting tlw le . vt was tossed several feet into thj air , and afterwards she ran at a truck and likewise after the men , who bad to make aprccipitate retreat . By this time tho crowd had increased threefold , and when the Animal reached tho I'loughand Harrow Tavern , in the Kennington-road , she rati at a man named G . Coleman , wh i was t ' . » s c . i an ; , train . ded upon before he was abla to get oat of the way . IIo was taken into ; i surgeon ' s opposite , wheiv his wounds on thi head were drussed , after which he was ttkc . i to hi * home

      by A tuilawmaii . The cow then went on , and on reaching Kviininstonominon , she ran at aliased man , natu-jd Samuel llavt , au inmate of Lambeth workhouse , whoh-td leave ot ' abjoneu for a few hour . s . lie was in the act of passing across th . ; road by the I Linn Tavern , waen choc » w nu ' ied at h ' ma'id toss . 'd the poor old frll-iw twice , and b .-foi-o any one could get t'i hisaid , he received most serious injuries . His head was fearfully lacerated , and one of the animal ' s horn * had penetrated the unfortunate man ' s billy . He wa » raised up in au insensible state , audVir . 'icd by the police to the surgery of Mr . Watson , who , having rendered every possible aid ,

      suggested his immediate removal to Guy ' s Hospital , whither ho was taken with care . Tho cow then turned round and dartc-l alter tho mob which followed it , but they made their retreat down the streets on tltJ other side of K- 'iinington-road . She then returned to the New Kent-road and continued her speed to Bermondsey , where she threw every one into a state of fear and alarm . At a late hour in the afternoon she wa * driven into a field near Rothcrhitlie where she became so much exhausted that her capture was ultimately effected by ropes Many other accidents were caused , but the one above named is most likeU- to end fatally . .

      nniis . On Saturday last , a fire occurred at No . 9 , Ward ' sbuild ings , Woodstock-street , I ' addington-street , Maryleb ? nc , by which an aged female , named Mary George , lost her life . Mrs .

The material part of the » fh"davit , which was sworn under the 5 & 0 Vict ., c . 122 , s . 67 , before a registrar of the court on March 30 , when the court was not sitting , was in these words : — " Richard Dunn maketh oath , and saith , that A . B . Coutts is justly and truly indebted to this deponent , Richard Dunn , in the sum of £ 100 , 000 ., bv virtue ol a certain bill drawn by this deponent on the bank of Messrs . Coutts and Co ., by the especial authority m writing given by the said A . B . Coutts to this deponent , wluVi was expressly given by hsr as compensation tor divers injuries and imprisonments inflicted , and for which injuries this deponent had commenced legal proceedings against the said A B . Coutts , and which gum she promised in writing should be dufv paid , but whi . di said bill , although

      duly presented , was not paid or honoured , and which * did bill . remains wholly due and owing to this deponent ; and this deponent further saith that tho said A . B . Coutts is a partner in the banking-house of Coutts and Co ., and is a trader within the statute , as this deponent verily believes . " The " bill" was in fact an order thus worded : — " 4 th March , 1816 . Messrs . Coutts and Co . Pay myself , or order , one hundred -Thousand pounds . R . Dunn , ( by authority of Miss Coutts ) . " The " especial authority in writing , " alleged in the affidavit to have been given by Miss Coutts , consisted of the last two stanzas ot » copy of doggerel verses . " which the defendant held himself out to have received from Miss Coutts by post in the year ISM . They were in the form that follows : —

      Oh , Mr . D ., You ' ve spoilt all our fun By your very imprudent advances ; Why diiln ' t you meet Me , except in the street—Why not meet mo at routs or at dancts ! i ' ou calh'd me "fair girl , " Ti 1 you made my head twirl , So that all tliu folk's thought I was silly ; At the window I stood , With my tears in a flood—You were posted just in Piccadilly . When to Il .-irrog . its sweet Tiipn beat a retreat , To take spa waters supt : rsuI ;> hurocus , I could hear your heart thusnp As we stood naar the pump .

      While you bolted that stuff so injurious . 0 ! i ! how , my dear pet , Cau lever forget That mixture of love and aversion ; Of love for your lass And disgust for jour glass , Just like attotot . il conversion . yfhen pior papa ' s gout Put us all to the tout , And drove us to Norwood Hotel , Your flame crowing stronger , You couldn ' t wait longer , So posted away there as well . Our servants to cool Your heat in the pool , And cure yon of love so mysterious , Immersed y «« therein , Nearl y up to the

      chin—What a . sceiitt Uotli t >{ comic and serious 1 But such arc the antics That come from romantics , When once they lay hold of the train , That you termed it "BaptiVng My lover , " and prizing My dower as much as love ' s chains . Jf y pretensions grew grander , 'Till stern Alexander By a capias ad sat . ciptctuKiu , Put the lock on jouv love , And caged my sweet dove ,

      ^ V ith his hillin gs and cooings esu . ' e ! 2 . But at last I ' m relenting , Sly jewel , repenting , Of all that you ' ve suffered for me ; Nay ! I'm oven grown tenuer , Di-po ^ cd to turn lender Of cash , your sweet person to free . Send to Coutt * ' your bill-There are lots in the till—I'll give the clerl « orders to do it ; Then get your discharge , Your dear bod y enlarge , And in Stratton-strect do let me vi « w it .

      And , by the bye love , My aft ' oet on to prove , For your long cruel incarceration , Fill a good round sum in ( As I ' ve plenty of tin ) , To make you a fair compensation , A . B . C . In addition to the formal proof that the affidavit had been sworn by the defendant , witnesses were called to show that it was wilfully and corruptly fa ' so . Miss Burdett Coutts sworo that she had not written tho supposed authority , and had never in her life written to the defendant . That she had forwarded all letters sent to her within the last few years by the defend mt , to her solicitor , unopened , when his

      handwriting was recognised on the superscript ion , and unread so soon as others , not so superscribed , were found to bo his , and that her solicitor had genera ! directions that every legal measn-e to protect her from tho defendant should be taken ; that she had not given authority for paying tlw sum iu question , nor any other sumti thedefenJant ; and that she never was indebted to him in any way . Mr . Maijoribanks and Sir Ednvtud Antrohus , who are partners of Miss C-mtts , Mr . Humphries , her soli , ci ' . or , and two of the clsrlu in the bank of Ctfuttsaml Co ., deposed , in substar . ee , to tho efteet , that tho defendant hid twice presented the order for payment , and had each timo been refn-ed ; that on each of these occasion * ho had produced the supposed authirity , and hid b'on distinctly told that it was not . in tho handwriting of Miss Coutts : ani that he had written letters , the i

      object of which was to indue : Mi-s Coutts or her partners , under tho pressure of an abu < e of the bank- runt laws , or a reluctance to encounter the annoy- - aucoufieg . il proceedings , however ill-i ' oande . l . to > uompromis ' . ' his aliened claim by paynuut uf the sum i of £ 100 , 0 ) 0 . The cro ^ s-cxiunuwthw i » f these wit-¦ nesseswiis > iirectsd towards creating the inference 0 that Miss Coutts , by not writing herself to the defend-.-ant , or authorising others to write to him , for tho 0 purpose of assuring him that she had not ; writtenn the suppose *! authority , had confirmed the defendant t in the delusion that it had been written by iicv * . thait . her partner- ; had in like manner , an i alsD by notii giving the defendant into custody when he presented ! , his order at tho bank , strengthened his belief thilttt ; tho authority to draw on the housa had come frommi her ; and that Mr . Humphries had likewise contri-ibutrd to this error by the hostile bearing which heiei had exhibited toward the defendant .

      [ In the course of his ctiiss-csaminatt » n of Misasai Coutts , the defendant put into the hands of that ladylyi a letter written by her father , the Itte i-ir Frar . ctstsi Burdett . Her struggle with the emotions which th < hei sight of the hand writing caused , excited the strongest !!! indignation of the audience against iIvj defendautiti and , as it appeared , of the noble and learned lord whdwi presided . ] Tho defendant addressed the jury at some lengthihi urging the points indicated by thecrus ' s-exuminatioDiDJ

      and protesting his belief that the sufferings and pererr sccution which ho bad met with from Mias Couthtto and her friends , had led to the belie ! that she hata « been at length induced to make him compen # at ; on > m and had therefore sent him the authority on which hihi . i had acted , lie then called witnesses to prove thami ho had received the alleged authority by putt , an < n « i that he had compared the handwriting with thatctoo Miss Coutts , awl fvowi the v «\ vh o > C that eoTOpimwrawy was justified in arriving at the conclusion which haliai founded his subsequent conduct .

      Lord Deiiman having summed up , the jury at oucucc returned a verdict of guilty . The defendant then moved in arrest ot jiuL-raeneji on two grounds : first , that the affilavu did not allegegg a positive debt by Miss Coutts , but a hypothetical debt only , depending on tho fact whether or not tt ttt authority had been signed by her , and therefore hahaa not given to the Court of Bankruptcy jurisdiction In II administer the oath ; seemdiy , that there wiwi'l a variance between the alh'davit set for ; h and thjik proved .
