Under tte ® c r cumsUncas our answer to Emigrasli ^ f-f the Land is too small let the drones tic' ^ £ rom t hive , and there will be honey ' ° rfi or the bees ; let the idle non-proU * fl ° a = Jo forth from the Land that they have unread with misery , and deluged with ° r u - let the s ^ P nerds w ^ ° have fleeced the f ° f ' and nipped the top of the grass , betake ifm- * elves to their condemned vessels , and ?! the gift ° * God w e am ^ e r susai-ce of Ids children , who are commanded ie in the sweat of their brow .
MARTIAL LAW . -rt , * j hy pocritical , tyrannical "Whigs seem j ^ jmin ' ed to g ive the world another illsstra" L ofthe truth of that celebrated saving of Lasctents . that " Those whom the gods mean de stroy , they first drive mad . " Not even r ^ ujs Philippe rushed more rtcklessl y to ruin rtan this vile faction are posting to perdition . Un mindful of the humiliating punishment infl cted upon them in 1841 , they are again , by ^ gir drivelling incapacity and brutal tyranny , courtini ? tbat popular vengeance / which seven v ears ago hurled them from power , and will ^ rain smite them to the dust . Like the Bourbons these wretched Whigs have neither
for-, gotten anything , nor learned anything . They j ^ yen ot forgotten their ancient hatred of the jijen , who earnestly desire to carry out the principles that Whigs only mouth about when l % i of office , merely that they may again get is . $ < K have they learned , by past experience , fie imp ossibility of governing the country on lie strength of forfeited promises and broken pledges . Like the Bourbons , they have also had a - ' restoration ; ' and like that doomed race , they will meet with a pitiless overthrow . A s well-wishers of our country , we pray that that overthrow may come quickly . It has been laid down by " constitutional authorities "—
" Tktt it is the undoubted constitutional right of th » uiople of the United Kinsdom to meet freely . v : hen , iys , arAvTurtthep choose , in publis places , peaeefidly in tic d : v , to diKsrs tftttr orifWRCK , and political or other tubj ' . cts ; or for the purpose of framing , dUeussing , or passing any vote or rem 02 stran . ce , en any subject what . ever . And again : — " Thst the interference of any civil or military force or authority , for the purpose of suppressing or ditpsrsioj snj meeting so peaceably assembled and conducted , iihisViyuniDUitUu . ioaal aai arbitrary , " Such is the theory of " the Constitution , " which the Whigs have violated most grossly and infamously .
A memorial to the Queen , setting forth the g rievances of the people , and praying for the dismissal of the Whig Ministry , and the dissolution of the present House 7 of Commons , had been adopted at great public meetings held in different parts of the country in April last . To receive the report of the reception of that memorial , and further to consider the impudent assertion ofthe Whig Premier , that the people did not desire the Charter , a Metropolitan public meeting had been called by the Chartist Executive for Monday last . The Eieeting was summoned for " the discussion of grievances . " It was advertised to assemble ' peaceabl y in the day , " at a " public place " out of the range of the ordinary traffic of
the capital , and where , therefore it was not possible that injury could result to the " * business ' of these selfish enemies to popular rights who prefer the sale of a pennyworth of tape , to any question affecting the liberties and happiness of millions . In ansrer to the lies and calumnies ofthe hireling Press , the projectors of the meeting apprised the Prime Minister , by a public letter , ofthe real object of the meeting , and the certainty that , if unmolested , it would be strictly peaceable and legal in its proceedings . The members of the Chartist Executive made themselves responsible for the perfect peace and good order ofthe intended assemblage .
All in vain . A triumvirate of despots—Home Secretary Grey , and Commissioners Mayne and Rowan—coolly set aside " the Constitution , " and , by " specials , " police , infantry , cavalry , and artillery , prevented the meeting . The unarmed working men relied upon " the Constitution ; " the . Whigs put their trust in bludgeons , bayonets , sabres , muskets , and cannon . The last argument of Kings was the only argument of the Whigs-Of course , they had the best ofthe discussion . Quotations from Blackstone and De Lolme had no chance against levelled muskets and loaded cannon . The Charlist Executive prudently gave way , and the Whigs , a la Jack Ketch , " finished" "the Constitution . "
The same day , a similar act of brutal tyranny was performed by the " authorities" of Manchester , under orders from the Home Omce . There , too , the Liberal magistrates suppressed a public meeting of the people by force . Had the meetingheen persevered with , the Liberal magistrates would have imitated the butchering deeds of their Tory predecessors in 1819 , and another Peterloo would iave stained the annals of that town . At Loughborough military violence prevented the people receiving Mr O'Connor , and prevented that gentleman fulfilling a pledge long given , of addressing the brave men of Leicestershire .
In short , the reign of terror is established . ft ' e five under Martial Law •' In the autumn of 1838 , the Authorities of Liverpool entertained Lord John Russell at a public dinner , when , alluding to the anti Poor Law agitation , and the agitation for the Charter , then commencing , " his Lordship *" said .- — There were some who would put dawn such meetings . Bat such was not his opinion , nor that of the government with which he acted . He thought the people had
a right to free discussion . I : was free discussion which elicited truth . They had a right to meet . If they bad gr ievances , they baa a rigM tg declare 'tea , that tbey aight bs fcaown aad redressed . If thty had 110 grleV . exce ? , common sense woald speedily come to the rescue sad put aa wid to these meetings . It was not from free dUcu = s : on , it wis not from ths oncheeked delaration oi imV . ' . e opmion , that govirnmtnts had anything to fear . Ti . en irai / tar when men were driven by force to secret com' Cfh \ ations . Tliercwas the / ear—there was the danger , and - . A ir . free discussion .
-he " right" acknowledged by Lord John Russell he has deliberately trampled upon . He has put an end to " free discussion" by the terror of the bludgeon and the bayonet . By musketry and cannon he has prevented the people declaring their grievances , and , thereby , torn from them the last hope of obtaining redress by ' ' constitutional" means . We have ever oppoied " secret combinations , " but to that re-Jouice Lord John Russell and his colleagues are driving the people . If that "danger " ^ ffies , the Whig Premier may reflect that the "fear" that will then beset society he wiH be "f- ^ K-nsible for . We warn tie people against
k'edarhanj deadly schemes of Government •^ P ^ s ; but we must also warn the Whigs that the course thev have entered upon must result " P ° ducing that danger to society which , ten vears ^ o , Lyrd John Russell declared would ue the natural consequence of forcibly depriving the people ofthe right of free meeting and ! ree dUcussion . ^ ainl y do the cruel , corrupt , and falsehearted rulers of this country strive , by fraud -and force , to stem the tide of progress , , anil J'n .-v ' .-Dt then-arch of Democracy .

THE PERSECUTED PATRIOTS . FOSTPONEMENT OF THE TRIALS . It will be seen by the report of Thursday ' s proceedings in the Central Criminal Court , 11 T ?* ,, ' rials of ¥ essrs * Jones » Vernon , Fussell , -W illiams , and Sharp , postponed until the next Session , which will commence early in Jul " * Ull > " *
y . At the time we write , Mr Jones and the other prisoners are still in custody , but we presume that renewed efforts will be made to obtain their liberation on bail . The appeal for the Defence Fund has been thus far liberally answered , but not one-fourth ofthe money required has yet been received , l ne local leaders and active Chartists must therefore exert themselves to obtain the necessary pecuniary assistance for the defence of our incarcerated brethren . Eminent counsel have been engaged to defend the London victims , and we may add that Mr O'Connor has engaged Mr W . P . Roberts to prepare the defence of the Yorkshire prisoners .
To the good work , then , brother Chartistsswell the subscription to THE NATIONAL DEFENCE FUND , and prove , by protecting your friends , that you do desire the Charter , and will not tamely allow the Whigs to destroy its . honest advocates .
Parliamentary Review
PARLIAMENTARY REVIEW
After a lumbering and heavy debate , of which we have purposely refrained froml inflicting the smallest portion upon our readers , the fate of the Navigation Laws , as they at present exist , was sealed—so far as the House of Commons is concerned — last Saturday morning , by a considerable majority . It is said that a stand wrii be made in the Lords , for this last vestige ' of our Protective system , and that they will even go the length of
rejecting the new measure , as they did tbe Jew Bill . But , though they may succeed in throwing the question overboard fer a Session , there is no dou ' ot that these laws are doomed ; they must follow in the wake of the defunct Corn Laws . The Commercial and Manufacturing classes—the representatives of the buying and selling interests—are at present too patential in the Legislature for either the Peer or the Peasant , and in these matters will have all their own way .
It is , howevever , a stranger thing to see these classes still following so madly the ignis fatuus which has already led them into such dreary bogs and quagmires . We could have understood them if the previous Free Trade measures for which they clamoured , had been successful in practice ; but in the face of the general depression of trade which now exists—which has existed ever since these measures were
passed , and to which , at present , we see no termination—it is astonishing that they should cling to this exploded fallacy with such desperate pertinacity . Not one of the promised blessings of Free Trade have been realised . The Navigation Laws may be good or bad we pronounce no opinion . upon thembut , at all events , their existence cannot be assigned as a cause for the shocking state of the country , and their removal cannot , in the slightest appreciable degree , improve that condition , while it may , and most likely will , produce great loss to the shipowning and building
interests of the country * , and , consequently , a reduction of wages to the operatives ^ employed in the various trades connected with ship , building . By the existing law , no ^ foreign ship can bring into our ports the produce of any country but that to which it belongs , except it be merel y brought here to be bonded for reshipment . The object of the framers of these laws was , evidently , to shut out foreign competition , as far as possible , and g ive to British shipowners , shipbuilders , and sailers , a monopoly of the carrying business of the country . At present , we believe , that , notwithstanding the alterations which have been previously
made in these laws , they afford considerable protection to the shipp ing- interest . The shipwri ghts—whether in consequence of this protection , or not , we do not pretend to say—are a well-paid'bod y of operatives . We remember being struck with their healthy and respectable appearance , at the annual dinner of the trade in London last year , and the comfortable way in which they treated their wives , families , and sweethearts , upon the occasion . : It was a slight glimpse of the by-gone times of "Merry England / ' to find a body of workmen able to give such a holiday out of their own independent earnings .
It is very questionable whether they will have many such holidays under the new system . The Spitalfields weavers , who have been longest subject to it , are not renowned for their festivities and merry-makings , nor the district in which they live for its prosperity . How far Limehouse , Poplar , Blackball , Deptford , Sunderland , Greenock , and other ship-building localities are likely to resemble Spitalfields in future , we are not prepared to say—time will tell . The " buy cheap and sell dear'' mania has , however , in every instance deteriorated the condition of the operatives subject to its will . Is it probable the shipwrights alone will escape ?
We Lavs now arrived at another stage ofthe Session , which naturally affords a resting place and time to look back upon what has been done . Such a retrospect in an ordinary case would afford matter for a column or so of useful remarks , but the business of a Whig Parliament may be comprised in an exceedingly small space indeed . The deeds of the three acts now played out are too . First , the Irish Coercion Bill before Christmas ; second , the " Gagging Act" before the Easter holidays . For the Whitsuntide holidays the account is nil . That is , in sad and sober reality , all that has been done for tbe nation by the new Parliament of the present most detestable Ministry .
Only one consolation can be extracted from this wretched state of ^ thin gs . It must soon come to an end . We ' know from extensive experience of the feelings of the middle and electoral classes , not only in the metrop olis but alsojin the largest of our mercantile and manufacturing districts , that ihey are thoroughly and utterly disgusted with Lord John , and the set of knaves and imbeciles who make up what is facetiously called a Government ; they want hut the opportunity to treat them again in the same manner as thev did in 1841 . The nation
at that time was not to be deluded by the new trap , " Cheap timber , corn , and sugar . " It rose unanimously and threw off the Whigs , who had produced one universal sensation of disgust and nausea . We thought at that time they were gone beyond all power of resuscitation . In that we were deceived , but we will say , that after being once more driven from office , if they are ever permitted to hold it again , the nation will richly deserve to suffer to a hundredfold degree all the evilsof Whig misrule .

Central Criminal Court
CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT
POSTPONEMENT OF THE TRIALS . Shortly after the opening of tho court , Ernest Jones was placed at the bar . Mr Cl 4 RS 33 N applied for a postponement of the trial until next sessions . Tha learned counsel said the prisoner at the bar was charged with a very serious misdemeanour , and that he had not been able to obtain a copy of the indictment against him , or to aub [ cona a material witness . The affidavit stated that iroportast points of law would arise on the trial , which the prisoner's counsel had not had time to prepare themselves to argue , and that the application was not made for the . ipere purpose of delay .
Mr Bodkin , on behalf of the prosecution , said he was prepared to go on with the trial to-morrow morning . It was evident , for the purposes of jusice , that no unnecessary delay should take place , but at the saroe time there was no desire to exercise any pressure injurious to the defendaatst The defendant Jores had been in custody since the 7 th instant , ' and when before the magistrate he acknowledged that every word of the speech which formed the ground of the indictment against him was correct , and he was prepared to justify it . With respect to a copy of the indictment , that had been furnished . Similar applications were made on behalf of the other prisoners . After a discussion ,
Mr Baron Rolfe said , he thought these cases ought to be treated like all other charges of misdemeanour , in which tbe prisoners in any court in the kingdom besides the Central Criminal Court would have the right to traverse . Under all the circumstances of the case , therefore , he ftlt justified in ordering the trial ofthe cases to stand over till next sessions . The Chartist trials are consequently postponed until next sessions . The following counsel are retained to conduct the defence ofthe different Chartist leaders : — For Mr Fussell— Mr Serjeant Allen , aud Mr Huddlestone . For Mr Williams—Mr Serjeant Wilkins , and Mr Ballantine . For Mr Sham- — Mr Serjeant Murphy , and Mr Robinson ,
For Air E « . VBsr JosEB—Mr Cockbnrn , Q C . and MrClarkson . For Mr Vernon—Mr Parry , and Mr Metcalfe . For Mr Loo . vky—Mr Parry .

Coercion Op Public Opinion
COERCION OP PUBLIC OPINION
TO THE EDITOE OF THE WOBTnEBH STAB . Sib , —The ' Reign of Terror' has commenced . The truculent Whigs aro once more trampling upon the rights and liberties of tho paople . They are once more resorting to tbeir old gome of proaecntinj , transporting- , and imprisoning the friends and advocates of freedom . Lord John Rnesell ia attempting to rule with a rod of iron , and treats the claims of the working classes with seom and contempt . Ho is playing tbe part of « ' - ? 'in England . But , if ho thinks he can put down , or even stifla , the cry for justice , liberty , and political equality , he ia miserably mistaken . No , Lord John , yoa cannot murder a principle—yeu candot kill a truth—you cunno ; imprison , transport , or hang an immortal thought , and you may destroy the men who advocate
those principles ; but neither you nsr all your co . conspi-Mtors , spies , packrd juries , partisan judges and the Whole of tho prostitute Preis put together , will be enabled to destroy the principles which those men have so nobly , manfolly , and fearlessly , instilled into tho minds of tbe great mass of tbe people . No , *? ou may as well go stand upon the btacb , And bid the main flood bate his usual height ; You may as well use question with the wolf' Why he hath mads tbe ewe bleat for the lamb ?' You ma ; as well forbid tbe mountain pines To wag their high tops , and to make no noise , When they are fretted with tbe gusts of heaven ; as attempt to stay the upward aud onward progress of Democracy ,
The right of public meetings must not bo destroyed In England . Englishmen ! ar . > you prepared to receive this blow at your liberties ? If you are , tell the minister that you are saticfied with things as they are , tbat you are content to ba slaves , and that you are willing that the aristocracy should still continue to oppress and degrade the people , for , remember ! the poet says : —
' Tyrants miko not slaves , slaves make tyrants . ' But if you are prepared to resist the unholy attempts of tbe Whigs to put down public meetings , then tell the minister in a to ' cj which cannot ba misunderstoodthat you are sick of Whig Intolerance , and aristocratic misrule , aud that you are determined to persevere in the course you have hitherto taken , to spread the principles of' Fraternitj , Liberty , Equality , ' The trial , conviction , and sentence of John Mitchel , and the black . heartednesB manifested in the House of Commons by the ministers , when any questions have been
addressed to them respecting the conviction of that truly nobleman—have not tended In the remotest degree to make tbe' Crown and Government ' of the UnitoJ Kingdom more secuie , nor has it pat down the ' rising discontent' of tbe starring people ; but , on the contrary , it has taught the people of England , that to hops for justice from tho House of Commons , as ot present constituted , is rank folly and madness ; and the people oi Ireland , that it is tbe intention of the Saxon rulers of that country to make it their Poland , But the Irish people are beginning to understand tho words of the poet , when he said : —
" Who would ho frer , themselves must strike the blow . ' Thank God , they are bfglnning to see , that if they are to conquer tyranny , oppression , and wrong , they must bo United as one min , and then they can—and not tilt thtndefy all tlie assaults of thoir common enemies , who-like that arch fiend , Mettebmch , Chose his residence in courts And conclaves , stUriug princes up to acts Of blood an'i tyranny , and moving priests To barter truths , andanap tho souls of men For lusty benefice , and address
Of lofty seundin ? , but who is now a miserable outcast ; and , Lorf John , jou may go ' a step too far in your career ef tyranny ; therefore take narnias from what is passing around you and btfore you , and instead of treating the ' wealth pro . ducers' of this country Hkebsasts ol burtbes , treat them like men , and grant thorn tho rights and- privileges of mm If you do not yield to the just dtmaads of tho people , you may—when too late—sea through their folly , and wish that you hid heeded the cuy of an en . slaved people .
1 well remember hearing Mr O Connor atato , at the Cjavention heli in Iiaeds nearly two years ago , ' that tho Cfiuso Of Chartism had to undergo- another dreadful ordeal of persecution and prosscutfon , that the leaders would enoo more have to pise anA suSer in stato dungeon ! ,. ' Well , he was not wrong . ia ala predictions , as tho arrest of Mr Jones , and c-tasr Chartist leadess j testify . Chartists of England , rally round your friends , and show tho government that they know , respect , end honour those man who havs—ivv spite of gagging bills , and 'P ? ateetion to Life and * Property Bills' preached forth tho great principles of political Eqaallty .

WHIG WAR AGAINST" THE WORKING *
PUBLIC MEETIN GS SUPPRESSED . ANOTHER AHRK 8 T . On Saturday , at Bow-Street , Fiuhch Loomjy , & . \ middle-aged , serious-looking man , was placed at the 1 bar before Mr Henry , charged with making a sedi- tioui speech . WlLWAM OOUNSELL Said ha ilVfid J \ t NO . 5 , Of * . ' chard-place , and was a shorthand writer . Ofl til 9 i evening ofthe 5 th of June ha attended a meeting at i the Chartist Hall , Webber-slreet , Black friars-road . Looney said , ' I am not a speaker , but I am ono wha has a deadly hostility to Lord" John Russell , and I will tell you more , I am one of his most practical . opponents , I believe , at present in London . I go
into every neighbourhood where Irishmen and En * > glidhmen are to bo found , and try to get them to become dissatisfied with his government ; and I will tell you moie , I advise you to get arms . All tha i world seems to heave at this EOtneat for liberty tnd ' . for justice to the working classes ; and now the only man who effectively preached the true doctrine oat culated to give the working man the means of living , , is taken away by the horrible machinations of an ; unjust and pernicious law , and transported away from us . We have not bin fellow . I believe he waJ I the first man who preached that doctrine ; and I be * > ieva it is the only true doctrine which is calculated . to save tha lives of the people . ( A voice , ' Robert > Emmett . ' ) Emmett did his business in his day ; but men havo forgotten Emmett and the teaching of ' EmtLett . Wemustnot be afraid of govercmnnt . I .
tell you from this spot that I am a Republican in heart and gout . In my own club ibis is our night pf meeting . I shall not , therefore , inflict any more oE my remarks upon you , for there are other men who have come here to speak to you ; but I tdl you to bo particular and do this . Let every ten or twenty of you in the neighbourhood you live in meet , and . if your means are very poor , and you canisot provide yourselves with guns or pikes , you can get pikes from Is 3 d to Is Cd each , and mind you , you can get pistols very cheap . I tell you , as oce of your friends , not to misuse them . Do not go about the afcraets ^ . I am opposed at present te street work ; I do not like to act such a part ; I do not like to go into open-air meetings or processions ; but any fellow who is paid for cudgeling my bead in , _ will find me stiff ensugh for him ; and I can tell him , that jf he attempts to strike me he shall strike no body e . ' s- ? . '
Mr MuRBOtsu addressed the Court for tho prisO ner , Whose only offence was , tbat be was ths deter « mined enemy of Lord John Russell . Aad who , he would not ask , was not hostile to the miserable admi nistration of tbe noble lord ? As to sedition , if hia client ' s speech partook of that character , why . Eart Grey , Sir 3 . Graham , and some of tho first men of the day , were guilty of sedition , for they had spoken in terms qnite as strong when advocating , nay domand ' wg , tbe Reform Bill . If his client had called on the people to arm , he told them at the same time for what purpose-. ! o defend themselves from marau « deraand burglars , and the myrmidons of oppression . He was an Irishman , and therefore spike in strong terms j but his only crime was his love of his country . His own speech proved he was the frierid" 6 f order .
Mr Hehbt had no de-ubt as to the tendency of the speeeb , and should certainly commit the prisoner for trial ; requiring two sureties of £ 100 each , and his own recownmanceB of £ 200 , with twenty-four hours notice ot bail . There was a second charge against the prisoner . W . GoDFREr , another constable of the C division , deposed , that ho attended a Chartist pieeting in Dean-street , Soho . on tho oth instant ( the same evening as in the last case ) , and saw the prisoner there . Witness did not take any notes , but recollected some parts of the prisoner ' s speech . He said he had just Jeft a most enthusiastic meeting-at Southward , where he was glad to find tbat the people were organising themselves iu'o sections in different parts of the metropolis . He advised them all
to arm themselves , as the time was fast approachirg that they would be required to use them , as tbey had taken them by surprise once , and would shortly do bo again . Any poraon who wanted a pike , and did not know where to get it , could come to him . He could get them one , or ns man ; as they liked , at 2 j each , or if they wished it , they might leave their ad « dress , and he would send the manufacturer to them . Tbeir meetings had been denominated meetings for pickpockets ; they intended to do away with those meetkgj of pickpockets , and they would shortly commence with the House ot Lords , and do away with tbat meeting for pickpockets Ural . Any person who wished to learn to write with a steel pen migi ' . t stop behind , and he would be taught . Mr MuRiiouoH presumed that the witness ' s - evidence , unsupported by notes , could not be believed .
Mr Hesby would leave the jury to decide that question , and committed the prisoner on this charge also , with the same order as to bail . The prisoner was then taken to Newgate .
CASE OF MR 30 NES . While the night thirges were disposing of , Me Feargus O'Connor , M . P ., accompanied by Mr Macnamara , his solicitor , attended before Mr Henry ,, to be admitted as ono of the sureties jointly with Mr John Sewell , for Ernest Jones , who was commitfed from this court on Wednesday last . lie stated that he had waited on Friday evening on Mr Jardine , tha sitting magistrate , for tbe same purpose , and being referred by him to Mr Maule , the Solicitor to the Treasury , he brought back a note frcm that gentleman authorising the court to accept him as one of the sureties , but on his return Mr Jardine bad just left , which caused applicant to be kept in town , much to bis inconvenience , and be hoped there would be no objection on tbe present occasion to " accept him as a surety in order that he might leave town in the afternoon .
Mr Hekry paid he had received no communication from the Solicitor to tbe Treasury respecting- Mr Sewell , and inasmuch as the recognisances could not be taken separately he had no power to comply with the request . Mr O'GuNXOR , io reply , said be did not consider it absolutely necessary to have the sanction of Mr Maule , particularly as there could be no doubt of Mr Sewell'a solvency . Mr Hesby said he was net guided by tbe sanction ofthe Solicitor to the Treasury , it being indispensable that twentv-four hours notice should be given by each person offering to become a surety . Mr Mac namara said tbat on Friday he sent in four names , and that Mr Sewell was among them .
Mr Henry said , if such was the case , the specified time would not expire antil two o ' clock , by which time there might be a communication made by Mr Maule upon the subject , but , aa the matter stood , a © knew nothing of Mr Sewell ' s solvency . Mr O'Connor said , tbat as the twenty-four hours would not expire until two o ' clock , ha would return to the court with Mr Sewell by that time . M * Henm was willing to give every facility , and begged to draw his attention to the fact that
members of the Heme of Commons were not eligible to aot in tbe capacity of bail for any parly , such being the decision of the Court of Queen's Bench , in the case of Duncan v . Dill ( 1 st Dowling and Ryland ' a Reports ); besides which , there were ether decisions to tbe same effect in the other courts , the cause of which was , tbat members of parliament , by season of their privileges , were not amenable to the ordinary processes of the court , aud could not be proceeded against should it be required ; it would therefore be necessary for the hon . gentleman to consider 6 he objection
before his return to the court . Mr O'Connor replied that the Solicitor to theTreasury had omitted to point out the objection mentioned , but of course his worship was most likely to be well acquainted with tbe law uj > on tho subject , and he would takt occasion to look into the case referred to ; but probably there was a distinction in tho rule when applied to such matters as the one under consideration ; however , should it turn out that he should aot be qualified , tha other namea that had beea submitted would be found quite competent . —The honourable gentleman then left tha court .
BAiL FOR MR JINKS aSlrOSSl ) . In the course ' of the afternoon , Mr Macnamara , who attended with Mr O'Connor , said , that that gentleman had gone out ot town , as the magistrate did not think him competent bail . Mq proposed as bail Messrs Sewell and Blooixfield . Mr Sbw-bUi , an upholsterer ,. e (' 2 , New Keit-road , having been a householder fou twenty-four year « , at a rental of £ 36 , produced his receipts for remand taxes , and said he was worth ) more than £ 250 after paying , his debts . lie possessed freehold and leasehold property . The latter pr-iduced him £ 80 & .. year , and the latter JtoOO a yeai *
Rcasas Bloomfisld , ob Barlow-house , Mile-endroad , employing sixteen , men , came forward , and said he had not paid his taxes for tour quarters . IIo had-not paid his last hal £ year's rent , which was payable quarterly . He had been distrained upon ior rent within eighteen , months , or i orbaps twelve months . He possessed five small cotinges , three of which were tnorteage-l . The others . Reduced him £ 3 b a year . He had only one man in his employ at present . He COUlinot produce hisast receipt , not b t ? S'X ^ him he was to produce his rei * eip . -s . \ frl 7 K \ -RT refusal to accep ' i Blcomfield as bnil „ on S ^^ rrell , agv « ev ol' 105 Berwick street , -was . put forward , who sajti be paid £ 80 a jcar rent had been three lnor . Aii in business , and had put down £ 150 tovvaids setting up Imnsc- ' f . 'ibc leit he had found by means of bills .
Mr Henry refuted to accept Ihe bail , atd , aa both sureties should be tftken jointly , he could not accept Mr Sewtll , and i ' ush notice should be given . The parties then left the court , and in the latter part of tbe day fresh notice of bail was served on Mr Burnaby , tho chief clctk , tho names being Mr J . Sewell , and Mr EJward Hippie , publisher , 42 , Holjwell street , Strand . lYVe believe that subsequently Mr Dipule was also refused ; Mr Jones , therefore , re * mains in custody .
