The plaintiff , who is Manager of tie Mu ^^ p and Hudderfefield Banking CompanyV ^ rought this action to recover : fr 6 m the defendant , the Public Officer of the Northern and Central Bank of England , £ 2 , 433 28 s ., for a draft , and interest on it , which had been paid by Wm into the Bank in 1836 .
Mr . Cbesswsu . stated that in the year 1836 , the plaintiff was desirous of possesang shares in the ^ Northern and Central Bank of England , and accordingly applied to Mr . Scott , ¦ who managed the Leeds Branch , of it ,, and who informed him that the shares were advancing in the market , and that be ¦ would obtain him some , and endeatour to procure him the half-yearly dividends , which were then due , upon the shares " . Mr . Scott wrote to the Directors , and the result was , that the plaintiff was to have 100 shares , at a premium of S 0 & , for which he immediately sent his draft to the bank . No scrip , however , was sent to him ; and he then demanded the shares and dividend ,
which he did not obtain . Mr . Wilson then desired to have a deposit receipt for the money which he had paid ; but the bank was then involved in oifiicnlties , and the Manager stated that his name had been returned to the btamp Office as a shareholder , and that he possessed 100 shares in the bank . He accordingly brought the present action . Mr . J . P . Scott deposed that he succeeded Mr . Scarth as Manager of the Leeds Branch of the Northern and Central Bank , in 1835 j the Bank did business with the Huddersfield Banking Company . He frequently met with the plaintiff on business , who mentioned to him , ia August , 1836 , that he wished to have some shares in the Northern and Central Bank . He expected to obtain them
at par , and m » de application to the Directors m the nsnal fortiL Having received an answer from them , he wrote to Mr . Wilson , informing him that 100 share * had been awarded to him , at a premium of 80 s . per share—the charges on them were scrip at Is . per share , £ 5 ; and £ 28 18 s . interest , making altogether £ 1 , 433 ^ 18 s . He received an answer from the plaintiff , who remitted the money foT the shares . Mr . Cassels was then the agent for the bank in London , and the scrip for the shares was not forwarded to " Mr . Wilson . Tbere was a half-yearly dividend of £ 4 per « ent . paid at that rime , but he did not pay that to the plaintiff , although he applied to him
several times respecting it . Towards the end of Novembec , Mr . Wilson declined to have anything to do with the shares , and claimed a deposit receipt for the draft which he had sent to the Bank of the Ccanpauy . This the _ witness was uuable to give to him , but he communicated with Mr . Stell , one of the Director . * , ou the subject , when it was stated that his name had been sent to the Stamp Office , London , as a shareholder , pursuant to the provisions of the Joint Stock Banking Act . Mr . Wilson had applied for the deposit receipt before the shares had . fallen in price . The corre . « pondence which had passed between the parties was then read . for
Mr . Serjeant Atchebley 3 ddresed the Jury the defendant , in a forcible manner . He contended that afuT the plaintiff had contracted for the shares and demanded the dividend , he was legally responsible as a . shareholder , although he might not have > -ign £ il the deed of settlement . Let the Jury look to the correspondence . between him and Mr . Scott , and they could not doubt of bis intention to be a proprietor ; but when he found , in October , that shares were falling in the market , he endeavoured to take adrantage of his not having signed the deed to get rid of the bargain . What would the Jury ray as merchants and men ofbusiness , if speculation of this sore were not to be binding until the parties had signed the deed of settlement . Under these circumstances he submitted that the defendant was entitled to their verdict .
The Jury withdrew and after a Ions absence , returned a verJictfor the plaintiff—damages £ 1433 . ISs .

TO THE EDITORS OK THE NORTHERN STAR . Gextlemex *—Have the goodness to insert , in your next number , the following Letter of the Anti-Poor Law Committee of Macelesfield to the Lord Bishop ofUorwich : — My Lorp , —We acknowledge the receipt of roar letter , in which you state that you have received the Earl of Stanhope's " singular misrepresentation of the Poor Laws . " We , the committee , are very desirous of making allowance for the want of intellect in the heads of our fellow mortals , but cannot refrain from stating , as our opinion , that your Lordship must have put an erroneous construction on the noble Earl ' s language .
Your Lordship goes on to state , that you have devoted much of your time to an investigation of its principle ? , ^ and closely watched its operations in various parts of England ; and that every day ' s experience strengthens your conviction that no legislative enactment has erer tended mor-e effectnally to raise the character of the pauper population j that , under its judicious regulations , profl ^ acy , idleness , intemperance , and improvidence are gradually giving way to sobers industrious " , and prudent habits ; that whenever it has been allowed a full and _ fair trial , the state of the poor has been obviously improved ; and that mothers and wives baverepeatedly expressed their satisfaction at the increase of then * domestic eomfort . Your Lordship then says , that you are
bound , as a Christian , and friend to the poorer classes of vour countrymen , to give it your warmest support . We cannot withhold from your Lordship our doubts , as to your devoting so much of your time to ihe tyrannical discipline carried on in the Poor Late Prisons , and beg leave to call your attention to the Deptford Union Workhouse , where , in the case of an aged couple of the name of Dodwell , who had been married upwards of forty years , who through age and infirmities were driven into the above workhouse , the aged wife having been separated from the partner of her joys and sorrow ? , was taken very ill , and , during the seven days she lived , iepeatedlv inade application to the governess of the
workhouse "for leave to see her husband , which was as often refused . The indulgence was ordered by the visiting surgeon , but to no purpose ; and , what is more horrible , the day on which she died , she asked leave for a clergyman to come and render her consolation in her dying moments } can yoar Lordship believe this last request was also refused ; but , when the inhuman governess saw the victim of the Poor Law about to depart this life , she then gave orders for her aged husband to see her , but , alas ! a corps , for , on his arrival at her bed-side , sue was dead ! i ! The next case to which we invite your attention , is that of an old man named Gnrney , who died suddenlr in the Kensington Workhouse . No inquest
was held , but information was sent to the * wife of the deceased , who was living by herself at Poplar , and , on the following day , accompanied by a friend , she went to the Union workhouse to see the body of her husband * On entering the yard , she was directed to the dead-house , when she was horror stricken at the sight which presented itself , t / ie place being sprinkled trith gore , and ttie body of her husband nakeO i -and uncovered , lying mi the talk . The stomach and chest'had been opened , but not sewed up again . The eyes were nearly starting out of the head , which had been opened , and the brains removed . Such was the state in which she was allowed to . see the mangled remains of her aged husband .
One other case and we have done , which is that of a poor woman residing in NottingMll , in the same Union , who applied to the guardians fora coffin to bury her child in , the ^ icar and churchwardens having agreed . to forego their usual fees . The guardians told her to bring the child to the Union workhouse , and they would send it to some dissecting-room , which would sore the expence of a coffin . The above are only a few out of hundreds of cases that might be brongnt before your notice ; and bear in mind , my Lord , they are / acts , not having-been contradicted by any enquiry the commissioners , have
made . Yet your Lordship passes an euloginm on , and warmly supports , -with your voice and pen , the cursed law under -which such . torture can be and is inflicted on the saffering poor of this countryj and it is with extreme regret ire find the last act of your Lordship , prior to your resignation as . a guardian in this Union , was that of sigfling your name in favour of erecting a Prison House in the neiehborirhood of Macelesfield , an act , that * for wMct / generations must pass away before the ; nsmfr of Norwich "will be held in % any other light ( heat that of abhorrence—but to yourletter . ' - - - . Your Lordship expresses your deep regret that *• many should be found who , either from ignorance or

an unwillingness , or an inability to' examine !^ in ns ! TOfcw ^ d- ^ ruii ^ influence ( top often , moreover , itis to be suspected ) of private or party feelings , do their utmost to excite the p&ble , b y misrepresentations and groundless or exaggerated instances t > f individual hardships , to recast its general introduction and pennanent establishment , as a means' of promoting the welfare of all classes « f the community . ' My Lord ,. these are scurrilous . charges to bring against a fsfmen who havetaken . constitutional means of bringing theirs and thousands of their fellow-men ' s grievances before Parliament , with , a view of altering a law founded on the doctrines of the * xecrable Mdlthus ; which goes to dry up the worjabs of the fair daughters of England—to increase ( as it has done ) infanticide , suicide , and every other crime
that has a tendency to reduce population . And , mjr Lordj you are base enough to charge us with ignorance , unwillingness , and inability to examine such acursedlaw ; and what is still worsey you accuse us of being influenced b y private or party feeUngs ! We throw back the charges to your : Lordshipwith that unmixed contempt which they merit ; and be assured , my Lord , had you stood aloof from party tricks since the year 1 &J 0 , it is more than probable you would never have been called on-to fill that place which you now do . However , by your high party feelings and actions , ( Anglesea election , to wit ) , you have pamphleteered yourself into a snug Bishopric ; which never would have been the case , if the Government of this country had been olaced ^ in such hands as would have managed its affairs with credit to themselves , and honour to the name of every person who wishes well to his country . We remain , My Lord , Tour's , faithfully , THE COMMITTEE . Joseph Smkdley , Secretary . To the Lord Bishop of Norwich . Maccledfield , Feb . 19 , 1838 .

TO THE EDITORS OF THE NORTHERN STAR . TO THE WORKING CLASSES OF GREAT BRITAIN AND IRELAND . AND TO THE MEMBERS OF TRADES UNIONS IN
PARTICULAR . Friexds axd Fellow-Couxtrymen * , —For the last six months you have been denounced by the public press of tins country , by persons holding high official authority , and by pretended " ¦ Patriots " aiid w Liberators" as assassins , murderers , anddestroyera of property , for the purpose of maintaining your wages against the inroads made on your order by misgovernment and misapplication of capital and machinery . In Scotland an attempt has been made to crash the Unions and spirits of the wealth-producing classes , by the persecution , trial , and sentence of seven years transportation of five Cotton-spinners , for no offence committed by them , but , because they were the principal office-bearers , or directors , of the association of which they were members . To remove the strong feeling produced by the
misrepresentauves of the truck uug , hireling press , against Trades Unions in geueral , and the unfortunate Cotton-spinners iuparticular ; and to induce the working classes to liquidate the debt incurred by the Committee of Trades Delegates in Glasgow , for defending the rights of labour , and to obtain n re ~ mission of the sentence of transportation , we were sent to London to represent tbe matter to such of the representatives ol the people as we could find willing to take up the ca ^ and represent it in both Houses of Parliament ; and we are happy to inform you , that in Lord Brougham and Thomas Wakley , Esq ., Member for Finsbury , we have found willing and powerful advocates , and we do now fully anticipate that their efforts will have the -effect of soon sendiug the condemned spinners to their now disconsolate wives , helpless children * and sorrowing friends .
A Parliamentary Committee of Enquiry into the Unions of Employers aud Workmen has ariseii out of the case , which , tee consider , inay either prove \? rj beneficial , or very injurious , to the working classes . If the working men of England , Ireland , and Scotland remain careless and uninterested spectators of this enquiry , they may " restassured that their Masters will take advantage of it , and produce such evidence before the Committee as will give a pretext to the Government to pass more stringent laws asain . * t the Unions of the Working Men .
As neither ofir time nor means . will pennit us any longer to remain in England to address you relative to the Parliamentan' em | iiiry , we will now copy into this short address the * advice of your excellent friend , Mr . Wakley ; he say 3— - "The Trades Unions should every where furnisutlie Committee with eridence on their behalf . They should at once fix upon , sav two or three of their companions who may be pest qualified to give evidence Before , ^ Jhtt ^ oniniittee ^ . and if I an * in dne time famished wfraT'the names and addresses
of the parties , I doubt ^ ot the ^ © mjttw ^ reaches the town of whirh they are inhabitant ^ , I shall be enabled to procure an order for their attendance on the Committee , when , on being duly summoned , they will , of course , be paiJall necessary exppnee . * . The sooner the witnesses nre selected by the Trades the better , they will be enabled to prepare their minds for the examination which they will have to undergo . Persona of clear and distinct knowledge , and of firm nerves ' , will , of course , be moat fated for selection . "
The London Trades haye already nobly responded to this call , and have taken rooms , and appointed a secretary , and attorney to conduct the enquiry , and jrive such information to the ^ Trades throughout the country as they may require , on this nnport ; mt business , addressed to William Lovett , Trades Combination Office , 4 , Br idgeitreet , Westminster . - ¦ . ¦ Before closing this address , we cannot but express our heartfelt-gratitude for the reception we have experienced during our mission trom the Committee of the London Trada * , from the various public and Trauy meetiiigs we had the" pleasure of addresring every where ; We must also express our
respect to the Working Men ' s Associations of London , Bath , Bristol ; and Leeds , and to the Radical Association of Dewsbury , not forgetting the Sociauste of Birmingham , Bristol , and Hnddersfield ; and in a parncular manner we return our sincere thanks to Richard Oostler , Feargus O'Connor , and the Rev . Mr . Stephens , of Ashton , for their unwearied patriotism in the cause of the Cotton Spinners , and the working classes in general ; and although last , not least , our unbounded thanks are due to the cotton spinners of Manchester , and every other individba ] who may liave responded to our call .

TO THE EDITORS OF THK NORTHERN STAR . Gentlemen , —In your paper of last week there is a letter from Mossfey , and signed "John Walker , " detailing the formation of a Working Man ' s Association in that village , and stating that its members are making themselves acquainted with their rights , privileges , and duties , as citizens . Had the letter concluded here , I should not have troubled you with any remarks of mine ; bnt the latter part of that communication contained the most unwarrantable abuse . It heaps reproaches and hard names upon the inhabitants of this village generally , a ? td -upon hundreds of working men in particular , — -working men who are equally as respectable , intelligent * social , and virtuons , as the writer of that letter ; but because thev do not think as he thinks , and act as
he acts , for these sins against his dictatorial cower , they are branded as "Not worthy the name ot men " —" not n ' t to be associated with , "— unsocial fellows , "— would be thought pious things , who use their influence to stop the progress of morality , "" the worst ajid deadliest foes to the spread of knowledge , wisdom , virtue , and happiness . " Geutiemen , believing the above quotatioos to be the sentucents of the writer individually , and not of the Association with which he is connected ,. I beg to state that they contain a gross falsehood , and pour unmerited reproach upon the characters of the vrorking men of this neighbourhood . The writer of the above abusive statements ought to associate himself a little more with charity , truth , fair dealing , aud good citizenship ; he ought to make himself still more acquainted with the rights , privileges , and duties of bimfcelf and others , before he sets himself asi " -a pattern of excellence , and
exclaims , " You are not men , I will not associate with you . " I do not object to working men associating for mutual protection , conversation , improvement , and morality , to obtain a knowledge of their position , rights , and duties ; on the contrary , at proper times , and on proper days , I think they oughMo do . Bat , gentlemen , i do object to the working classes of this neighbourhood being identified with the outrageous sentiments contained in ihe Tetter of John , Walker , and were it not that thay possess more charity and candour than he does , they would throw back upon himself , with indignatioD , the sentiments which his letter contains , ? Fhe great body of working men here have learned to Slink , and let think , and I trust they will never be so deluded as to follow one who is so uncharitable in his views , and who has proved himself , in his first letter to you , so unworthy to be their guide .

The man was very ' violent ; the
constable took him to his own house ; and when all peaceable meaas had failed to quieten him , he was obliged to handcuff , and do hk dsty by taking him 10 prison . Thecondnctof theplaistiffwas extremely blameable and oatrageons , and therefore th « constable was justified in having leooarse to strong measures for the preservation ofthe peace .

Baisis repned in a forcaie address , calling npon them to weigh the probabilities of the case , " and contrast the evidence given by the defendant with the acknowledged Jacts . He contended that the
witnesses proved too much to be implicitly credited ; and where they deceived on one point , how were the Jury to draw the line of demarcation between fakehood and truth . After commenting on the entire evidence , submitting that the defence was an afterthought , trumped up to suit th « purposes of the present action . The Learned Jchge , in summing up , laid it down * $ a clear point of law , that a constable has no right to apprehend a man for a breach ofthe peace , unless committed in his presence , nor to enter into a man ' s nouse merely to remonstrate with him . The constable had not known his duty . The Jury , after bems absent above an hour , returned a verdict for the plaintiff— " Damnges , oae farthing . "

WiGHTiiiix , Mr . nxxsox , and Mr . 5 Ijetix , for the defendant . The action was . bronghtby the assignees of Mr . Henry Haflfley , a bankrnpt , lately carrviDg on business as a woolstapler , at ^ VakefielS , against Mr . John HalBey , his father , to recover £ 4164 , taken under a writ of execution . The defendant pleaded the general issue , and specially denied the bankruptcy of Ms son , at the time the property was taken . Mr . Cresswell entered-into a short narrative of tie facts of tie case . The defendant and his two 50 ns formerly carried on business as wool dyers , at
Wakefield ; m 1825 , the partnership was dissolved , and the bn .-ii > ess tran ? ferred to Mr . Henry HaBQey one of the < ons . Shortly afterwards , he married the dai > 2 htM - of-Mr . Jonathan Barthrop , who carried on the business of a woolstepler . at that town , and Mr . Henrv HaHIley then entered into partnership with his father-in-laV , embarking £ 4 . 000 in the business , which was advanced to him on a promissory note . The business thus continued until September , 1833 , vhen 31 r . Barthrop suddenly died ; and left Mr . Edwin BaithrDp , his executor ; and the latter , who was a commission agent , then undertook to wind up the affairs of the partnership . On examination , it was found that he had died insolvent , and Edwin Barthroii being then desirous to embark in the
business , was very nnwiDing that its insolvency should become known ; to prevent this , he advanced berreen £ 5 , 000 and £ 6 , 000 , of his own money , to meet the bills as they became due ; and Henry HaBBey , as surviving partner , was debtor to that amount . Having thusinvolvedhimself in difficulties , Edwin Barthroj ) oecame himself a bankrupt in 1836 ; and was examined under ih& commission of bankrjiptcv . on the 2 nd of J anuary , 1837 . His examination " was calculated to expose the aSairs of the fam 3 v ; and on the 4 th of January , Mr . Archer , a solicitor , who married Mr . HaimeVs daughter , obtained a warrant of execution , at the suit of Mr . Jonathan Halfiley , to seize the goods of his son . The eoods were valued by Mr . Hauxwell and Mr .
Carr , at £ 4 J 5 t ? 2 , aad a . sheriff ' is-officerl&ok them in execution . They were , not sold in the ordinary coarse of law , bnt assigned to the High-Sheriff of Yorkshire , for the benefitof Mr . HalKIey . Enquiry ^ as then made by the creditoni as to the reasons for this proceeding ; and it was then found that in November , 1835 , Henry had girenhls father » war rant of attorney for £ lf £ 00 Q , which very far exceeded every farthing he had in the world . But although this warrant was given in November , Mr . Archer iept it safely in his pocket nntil the 4 th of January , ¦ when the affairs of the parties were -exposed . TL us matters then stood ; fn 1835 , old Mr . HaUik-y transferred his business to his son Henry , who , in addition to the business of dyer carried on that of a ^ olstapler until 1835 , when Mr . Barthrop , his P&teer , died , and it was found that the concern wss insolvent . The affairs were wdnndTjp in
September , 1835 , and the next month Mr . Henry HaBIler , gave Ms father a warrant of attorney for £ 12 ^ V ^ nth ° ming nirn to seize the whole 01 his assets . Immediately da ; ihe exaaiuiiaiion of ilr . Qenry HaTnley , on the' 4 rh of January , the seizure » as made . They would also hear that the average sock of indigo nsually kept by the firm for the Purposes of dveing was worth about £ 200 ; while Bpmediately "before the seizure there waa £ 2 , 000 Talneof that article . Thus the merchant in indigo was a creditor to above riw ? amount of £ 2 , 000 , while lie entire of the property had been swept off by the fether , under a warrant of attorney . Mr . Ceessweu- . submitted that this was a fraudu lent transaction by a family compact , and that , therefore , the bankrupt laws required that the property should be given up for equal distribution anonest all the creditors .
. Several witnesses were called , who established fliefectsstatediuthe opening . ^ , . , Mr . Wightmax submitted that Ms learned mends had not made out the petitioning creditor ' s debt Mr . Priestley , clerk to Mr . Edwin Barthrop , was < 3 Eed to cutp this defect , who proved that on the 26 ih of August he denied Ms master . at Ms request tQSIr . Wilkinson , the manager of the Hndderefield Bank ; and that Messrs Grinsdale andBedale , con-% nees , were the petitioning creditors , whose debt *« 5 entered in theledger . ,-.- ,, Mr .
