Fwmso MoitXT . —On Thursday last , a yoang inan named Charles Say , son of Mrs . ICay , confectioner , Duncan-street , appeared before Griffith "Wright and A . Titley , Esqre . at the Court House , xmder the following ciKamstanees 1—On Tuesday last , Mrs . Battye , of Headingley , whilst at Leeds , had the misfortune to lose her purse , containing a £ 20 Bsnk of England Hole and three soTerelgns . She made known her loss by means of handbills the same dayj and the polieeliaying heard that a purse containing money had been found in Mrs . Kay ' s shop . Inspector Hainsworth went there , but both Mrs . Kay and her daughter denied all knowledge of such a drenmstance . On Wednesday , however , a female from Morley , named Charlotte Smith ,
being acquainted with Haiusworth , went to him and told him that she had , pn Tuesday , picked up a purse in Mrs . Kay's shop , which contained three Borereigns and what she thought was a note , but that it had been taken from her by Mrs . Kay ' s son , who told her she had nothing to do with it . She added that she had called at Mrs . Kay ' s on Tuesday evening before going home , to see if any owner had been found for the parse , when she was answered in the negative . Acting npon this information , Hainsworth again went to Mrs . Kay ' s on Wednesday , taking Mrs . Smith along with him ; but she , being in the background , was not seen until Mrs . Kay and her daughter had again denied all knowledge of th » purse . But when tbev saw Mrs . Smith Mrs . Kay
turned round and acknowledged that her eon had taken the purse from her . Search was then made for young Kay , and he was found at a public house in a state of intoxication . On being asked he Baid that stout lady had called upon him that morning , and to her he had given the pursa and money . He was taken to the police office , where bail was taken for his appearance before the Bench on Thursday . When he came , howeyer , he was nearly drunk ; and , in reply to questions from the magistrates , he aoknowledged haying had the £ 20 note and the three sovereigns , but said he did not know what had become of them , except that they had passed through his hands . _ The Bench , considering his conduct molt unsatisfactory , ordered him to be locked up till next morning , when he would probably be more sober . Subsequently the hearing of the case was wit
off till Monday , to suit the convenience of aU parties . The sum of £ 20 was deposited at the police office for the appearance of Kiy . Thb Watch Committee . —At the usual weekly meeting of ihiB body , on Thursday , it was resolved , on what authority we know not , bnt we think the rate-payers have a right to know , to pay the expencesof Messrs . James and Hepworth , which they had incurred by the late trials against them at York . The money , it ib said , is to come out of the reward fund . Query—Where does the reward fund come from ! Hokse Stoi . es . —During the night of Thursday last , a brown mare was stolen from the stable of Mr . Samuel Petty , in Holbeck-lanc The mare has a white star on her forehead , and stands about fifteen hands high .
Pleabcbe Tw ? . —Yesterday , being Good Friday , some extra trains left toe railway station in Hunaletlane , for Hnll , York , Derby , &c , at reduced fares , to favour the holiday people . A numerous company availed themselves of the opportunity . . BrBGLARx . —During th « night of Tuesday ] ast , the dwelling-house of Mr . John Atkinson , joiner , in "Lady Pit Lane , Hnnslet Hall , was broken into by thieves , who obtained admittance by forcing a cellar grate at the rear of the premises . Whilst they were engaged in ransacking the house , Mrs . Atkinson overheard them , and got up , which caused
a sudden flight , and some property , which had been packed up for removal was left behind . The thieves obtained several articles of silver plate , principally ¦ spoons , most of which were marked with the letters A . I . R ., and some satin and silk dresses , handkerchiefs , linen shirts , &c . The amount in value is freity considerable . On Wednesday , the Leeds oKce officers received information that a satin drees i&d been offered for sale at Wakefield , and on proceeding there it was found to be one of those stolen which had been detained , but a woman who offered it matte her escape , and hitherto no further trace has been heard of her .
DiscHiBtK op a Demob rsou Yobk Castle . —On the 5 th inst-, Miss Mos 3 , who has been in custody as a debtor in York Castle , twenty-four years and bix days , was discharged . To show the injurious tendency of such lengthened imprisonments , wemay remark that during that time she had been allowed 11 , 2321 b . of the eonntj bread , which at the average of 2 a . 6 d \ per stone , amounts to the sum of £ 100 63 . We nnderstand that the legislature is about to interfere to procure the liberation of those debtors whose confinement has been of Jong standing . There is another person who has been in the castle upwards of twenty seven y eara .
LEEDS CHURCH WARDENS . We beg again to remind the people that the meeting of the inhabitants and rate-payers oT the parish is fixed by the Churchwardens to be holden nr the Vestry of the Parish ChuTch , on Thnrsday mxt , at twelve o ' clock at noon precisely , fer the purpose of choosing and electing churchwardens in and for- the parish of Leeds for the year ensuing . " Let the people be at their post . Of the seven ehnrchwardens last appointed , four , Messrs . Croslaud , Sanderson , PjbuS , and S&ville are said to have Attended to their duties : it will be but fair , therefore , to re-elect these men if th « y choose to stand . And Jet three others be looked out for , who will also do their duty in the office .
Phkeko Meskehish —We iatimated in our last , that a number of experiments in this new science , as it is called , were annonneed to be performed in the large room of the Commercial Buildings , on the erenings of Tuesday , Thursday , and Saturday , of the present week . Two of the exhibitions have already come off ; the third iB to-night . Oa Tuesday evening , after the chief operator , Mr . Sladen , bad briefly detailed the leading principles" Df the theories of Mesmerism , Animal Magnetism ; and Phreno-Mesmerism , or Phreno-Magnetism , he proceeded to operate upon two young men , of the respective names of Briggs aad Wails , the same two who were operated upon in a series of experiments which we detailed on the authority of an eye
witness a fortnight ago . The youths were seated in chairs , with their backs towards each other , and a metallic chain having been attached to the wrist of each , so as to form a connection between them , Mr . Sladen commenced to look one of them stedfastly in the face . In a few seconds the youth he vas directly operating upon went off into what is called the isagQeiio sleep ; and within one second the other was asleep alsc . That all idea of collusion might be removed from the minds of the audience , he requested that parties would step upon the platform , and examine for their own satisfaction . This request was complied with by several gentlemen present , who expressed themselves perfectly satis-Sed with the fact . One of them pinched the back of
the hand of the youth Walls , so as to have hurt him severely , had he been in a state of consciousness , or in the usual state of feeling . He also plucked several hairs from his head j and this too without any , the slightest manifestation of pain , or even feeling . These tests were used aa slyly as it was possible . The patient could ha ? e , apparently , no means of knowing that they were to be applied ; the gentleman approaching cautiously from behind , and plucking the hair out quite . suddenly , and without any , the slightest , warning . " rThile the youths were in ihe mesmeric sleep , the operator excited at the wiBh of the audience , many of the Phrenological organs . To remoye all suspicion as to collusion , a number of slips of paper had been prepared , in which were
set down in consecutive order , the names of the several organs- These were handed to gentlemen in different parts of the room , who were requested to number the organs in the order in which they wished to Bee them * xcited . When so numbered , they were handed to a gentleman who stood at the end of the raised platform , aud wbo wrote tbe name of the organ upon a black board , so that the audience might be aware which of the organs were next to be operated on , without it having to be named ; and thus rendering it impossible for the patients to hear , precluding a knowledge of what was required by that means . The numbering of the organs by parties in the audience , was to remove all notion of previous arrangement between the operator and
theoperated-on , in the way of consecution . Themont-Jestaiions were such as have before been detailed . When " veneration" and tune" were excited , the patient whistled the " Old Hundred Psalm / ' When ** wit" aad tone" were excited , be sang a snatch of comic song abont " Old Roundlegs . " When " bene-TOlence" was excited , alms-giving was the order of the day , even to the coat and waistcoat from off the back ; but when acquii ! itiveness " wascalled into play tiie whole were speedily taken back , and even more than belonged the party . ** Conscientiouness , however , soon brought tbe wrongly-taken property back , with evident signs of ooBtrmon and sorrow . One peculiarity attending these manifestations was , they took place in both youths at the Bame time , although the direct excitement w » b only made upon one . In almost all cases was this phenomenon manifest while the two were connected together with th « metallic chain . The operator , however ,
wished * o make the human body a medium of communication between them ; aDd lor this purpose invited two gentlemen to step npon the platform The wish-was complied with , and the strangers were placed betwera the two youths , holding a hand of each , xnd joining theii own lianas in the middle In & few moments , however , Walls , shewed signs of irritation . He hastily withdrew his hand , and . commenced crying as though he was erievonsly ' offended . The operator Sned 1 to jsopth him , and partially succeeded . After the hands had been Bgara joined , be retained hold for a moment or two , and then a similar manifestation of nneasiness and grief was made . Several parties in the audience hereupon requested the operator to demesmerise them both , they having been in the magnetic sltep for a considerable time . The next person operated upon , was Mr . Longstaff , a taiior m this towa ; one who is vrell known to hundreds , and deservedly respected for honour , integrity , an . 4 upright-

ness . Every one who knows him at all , would at once dismiss from the miud all idea that he was capableof practising simulation . He WB 8 SOOn placed in ihe magnetic sleep , as it is called ; his passagefrom consciousness into it , however seemed to be a paiBful one . The chest heaved and swelled ; and the features were slightly convulsed . A few passes from the operator seemed to remove these unpleasant symptoms . The phrenological maniff stations were most marked in this subject . Ho is a gentleman of some attainments ; and the difference in manner and matter ( whtm language was employed ) between tbe uneducated youths aud Mr . Longstaff was manifest and striking . With this subject a new experimefit was performed . A few passes were made
about the head with an artificial magnet ; and then he followed it all round tho stago , though passed from hand to hand , in the most crosswise manner . It was like " hunting the Blipper f with this differenoe however , that the patient seemed always to know where the magnet was ; for he invariably went to it . When it was laid down upon a chair , he instantly fell down on his knees , and laid his temple close to the magnet . He staid there until it was removed , and its influence broken by the operator making a few personal passes . He wa 3 "next laid down with his back upon the platform , and when the magnet was presented to his arm or foot , it slowly raised f ^ om the floor , as if following its influence . When the magne * was rendered
inoperative by applying to it " the keep , " the limb slowly fell to its original position . During a portion of the time the subjeot was laid on the floor , he was in a cateleptic state ; and demagnetizing passes had to be made before the limbs could move . When raised from the floor to his feet , the usutl means of restoring the patient from the mesmeric sleep wero resorted to . He appeared to have suffered very much from its effects , complaining of head-ache , and of general exhaustion . The experiments with Mr . Longstaff were , with us , the most conclusive . We know him . We know him to be above deceit . Wo are therefore bound to receive the evidence of phrenological manifestations , produced by excitation while the patient is asleep , or in . the magnetic stupor , as given ^ in his person , as keal . We know him to be incapable of
simulation . Tae proceedings of Thursday evening were of a similar nature to those above sketched . Mr Sladen operated on the two youths , producing the usual manifestations , when the different phrenological organs were excited . It had been annonneed , that one of them , who has been often operated on , had exhibited some little susceptibility of the clairvoyant state ; and that he had played a game or two of " dominoes" when in the magnetic sleep . It was also announced that this experiment would be attempted on this ( Thursday ) evening . The consequence was a very crowded room , and great expectation . During the evening , when the youth BriggB was , apparently , in the meamerio sleep , a box of u dominoes" was
produced , and a request made that a gentleman from the audience would step upon tbe platform to play with the patient . Several responded to the request , amongst them Mr . John Ayrey , of the Old George Inn . A board was placed upon two chairs , and Mr . Ayrey and the sleepingyouthassayed to play . They played , sure enough , two games : and at the end the youth waaexamined to ascertain whether he was still asleep or cot . He was certainly , to all appearance , in a | sleeping condition . The pupils were distended ; and the eyes themselves turned upwards , ( but each inclined towards the nose ) in the socket . After some farther experiments , with the magnet , the youth was demesmerised . It ought to bo stated , that while the " games" were
being played several of the audience called out for his eyes to be bandaged up . This , however , was not done ; it being stated that the patient always resisted an attempt to do this , complaining when he was restored to consciousness of # reat pain . At a snbsequent part of the evening , v ? hen undergoing opreations with the magnet , an attempt was inide to blind his eyes with a silk handkerchief , as he laid on the platform ; but the moment it was placed there , he fstrnck oat at the person applying it , and threw it off . In consequence of these things great dissatisfaction was manifested by the assembly ; and an almost general feeling that trickery was practised was apparent . This feeling Mr . Joshua Hobson gave expression to . He stated
that he had come there to witness the experiments and to judge of tbe facts brought before him . He was not a believer in all he heard about what was called ** Mesmeric Science . " Far be it from him , however , to deny that effects , and effects , too , 01 an astoundingsature could not be produced by pursuing the methods pointed out by mesmerisers . 11 would be the height of folly to do so : for that very evening theylhad witnessed things , which it vras impossible , iu tae present Btate of knowledge with respect to them , to account for . He muit believe that persons of a peculiar temperament could be placed in a state of apparent sleep , and ^ ind eed catalepsy produced , by personal contact , snob as holding the thumbs , and looking steadfastly into the eye . But
whether these effects were produced by a magnetic essence , or iuid , given off by the operator , or the operated-on , as some alledged , did pot very plainly appear ; for analogous , indeed , similiar , effects could be produced without personal contact at all . Mr . Baird , of Mancbesier , had & system , bv which persons were sent to sleep , and catalepsy produced , by merely looking continually and steadfastly npon any object , and concentrating the mind upon one idea ; while Mr . Cs . tlow , of Manchester , had discovered that similar effects oould be produced by acting conttnuonsly on anyone of the senses ; or indeed by acting upon them all together . But while he ( Mr . H . ) did not deny that certam effects could be produced by perhaps these and other means , he moist
confess that he was sceptical as to most of what he had heard respecting the clairvoyant [ stages of the mesmeric trance . That scepticism could only be removed by the evidence of facts , and it would take stronger facts than those he had witnessed in that room that night to convince him that his scepticism was wrong . He had paid great attention to the appearances and movements of the patient during the time ha was playing nhe game of " dominoes j " and he felt constrained to say that his judgment was that the youth was simulating . Ha had placed himself on the floor just in front of the platform , a position from which he could observe the eyes
and features of the " magnetised player . His firm conviction was that the youth was not unconscious . He believed that he was able to see what it was that he was doing . He distinctly saw the eye open and close , in accordance with the reqnirments ofhia playing . This the audience could not observe ; for the player leaned down over the board . Let him , however , not be misunderstood . He did not aver that simulation had been practised . He enly gave it as his opinion ; as his conviction . All might have been right and fair ; but such was not his impression from witnessing the movements of the party .
Mr . Sladen begged most distinctly to say that if simulation had been practised , he was no party te it . He w » b acting in perfect good faith ; and if any deception had been resorted to , he was one ot the deceived . Mr . Hobson instantly acquitted Mr . Sladen of all such attempts . He would not for one moment even impute such thing as simulation to him . He believed he was acting in good faith . The audience hereupon rose , having very generally manifested their accordance with Mr . Hobson ' s objections : at this moment it was intimated to Mr . Sladen that the boy Walls had several times played the game of" Dominoes ' ' in private with his friends , with his eyes bandaged np bo as to preclude all
possibility of seeing by the usual method ; and that he expressed a willingness to try the samo feat before the audience . On this being announced from the platform , the seats were instantly resumed , and a general buzz of satisfaction was heard . Walla was brought forward , and was magnetised . He was examined by several gentlemen on the platform to satibfy themselves that be was really and truly asleep . They were satisfied . A silk-handkerchief was folded up fora bandage . It was applied by Mr . Ayrey . It covered the eyeB completely , and a portion of tbe face to the tip of the nose . Every one was sure that he could not see . The rt dominoes ' were produced , and thrown out of the box . Wall 3 instantly pet to work , and turned over all that had
their faces uppermost . Ssven each were counted . Mr . Ayrey was Wall's competitor . They turned np for the " go in . " Mr . Ayrey played . Walls pointed his finger towards tbe " dominoe played , ( he did not touch it , to feel . ihe number of pips , ) and he then instantly played to it . This continued through two games . He played rightly . Not a single mistake did he make . It was impossible for him to see with his eyes the play of Mr . Ayrey . Whether he &aw them with his fingers or not voe cannot say . At all events pointing with his finger was the apparent means adopted to ascertain what had been played , and what he had in his band to play again with . The experiment was indeed astounding , but satisfactory , as far as it precludes all idea of
simulation . When the bandage was removed , he was again examined ; and the parties examining declared that they were satisfied he was asleep ! Mr .

Every one would now go - away With quite a different feeling from that which would have possessed them , bad the last experiment not been witnessed .

The Court House was crowded on Wednesday b y the defendants , who were , many of them , defended by Mr . G . Higham , of Brighouae , solicitor . No hearing of the cases took place , as by an agreement the matter was adjourned to the 21 st of June , in order to allow time to hold a meeting
of the parties iatered to see if the matter canaot be amicably settled . Bjudfohd Market , Thursday . — Wool— There has been rather more doing in this article during tho week , and the stock of combing sorts is scarcely so abundant aB f or some time past , which is to be attributed to the indifference of the Staplers to purchase treati stock , seeing no chance of realiz ing a profit b y his transactions . In prices no alteration , but a greater firmness is manifested .

Bepobmd Death v&oh STARVATiON .-Dui-ing this week , a report has been very generally circulated that a man had died from starvation , somewhere in White Abbey , Bradford . InquirieB into the matter have disclosed the following circumstances . The deceased person alluded to , was named James Greenwood , he was a wool-comber , aged forty vears , and belonged to the township of Heaton . He had lodged for near two years with a comber named Hey worth , who resided in Boyes' Building ? , Bricklane , aad had been afflicted with a cough aud excessive expeotoradon during the winter , though he had notgiven uphis work , but was employed till about three weeks ago . He had never sought for medical aid , notwithstanding the repeated warnings of his
landlady and others that the symptoms of disease he exhibited were euoh as indicated consumption On the 24 th ult ., having been obliged to give up working , not having any money , and not being in any benefit society , he applied to Sykea , the relieving officer for Heaton , at the board of guardians , for relief , and was told by htm that he could not be relieved there , but must apply at the pay-room in Heaton , on the following Tuesday . He did so , and then Sykea told him that he could not relieve him , as he wag resident in Bradford , and therefore he must apply to Mr . Reaney at the Court-house . On Wednesday he went to the Court-house , and made application to Mr . Reaney , who said he oould not relieve him then , he must wait until Friday ,
when he would have to appear before the board of guardians . On Thursday , Mrs . Hey worth went to Mr . Reaney , who at first refused t relieve until Friday , but on bearing her statemen of the case , he gave her Is . to get over the day , and 1 bid her tell him to attend at the board-room next day . He was too ill to comply with this direction , and in consequence , Mrs . Heyworth became bis deputy a second time , and attended the board on his behalf . She stated the case , and an order was made for 2 s 9 d per week , which was paid on Saturday , and a note for the surgeon was also gives . Mr . Robinson , in whose district White Abbey stands , received the note near noon and about one o ' clookheattendedjon Greenwood , whom he found in the very last stage of
consumption , and apparently past all hopes of recovery . He attended him on the Saturday and Monday , and called on the Tuesday , but at that time he was dead , having expired on Monday night while dating part of an orange . His death was very sudden , for but a minute before he filled a pipe of tobacco aad sat up in bed smoking it , and appeared very cheerful . The assertion as to hi « having died from want , appears to be unfounded , inasmuch as previous to his ceasing to work he had what he choose as sustenance , and afterwards he was fed with toast , coffee , and other foed of a similar description , and on the Monday before his death , he took part of a beef steak which Mrs . Heyworth purchased and cooked for him .
Danger of PlatIHG WITH EDGED Tools . —About half-past eight , last , Saturday morning , an ostler , named Sellers , ' employed at the Roe Buck Hotel , in Bradford , put his own existence in imminent jeopardy , under the following singular circumstances —While talking with a party , with whom he was dr inking , on the melancholy death of his master , he very imprudently took up a knife , to shew them how the unhappy man inflioted his own death'wound , and in so doing he made a deep gash across his own throat about two inches long , and just over the carotid artery . Mr . M'Michan , surgeon , was immediately called in , and fatal consequences happily prevented . The man is gradually recovering .
FrRE at Ecclkshill . —Early on Sunday morning last , a fire was discovered iu the boiler-house attached to Messrs . Johnson and Co ' s scribbling mill , Apperley-lane , Ecolesnill . Information was conveyed to the Bradford engine-house , the alarm Dell w& 3 rung , and in a very short time after both tbe town ' s engines and also that belonging to the Leeds and Yorkshire Assurance Company arrived at the mill and commenced playing upon the fire , which was partly subdued , the roof of the building having fallen in . The damage was confined entirely to the boiler-house , whioh will require , perhaps £ 40 to put it in repair again . The origin of Vhe frreisas yet unexplained , but nothing has transpired to favour the supposition than it was other than acoidental .
The slope of the incline through the tunnel from Spital tongues Colliery to the river Tyne at the North Shore , broke on Saturday whilst ten waggons were descending . The waggons thus at liberty ran amain to the river , where a vessel was being loaded , over which a portion of them ran completely into the water , and the remainder were lodged on the deck . Happily no lives were lost , though the damage done was considerable . —Newcastle Journal .

Rural Police . —It is a positive fact , that the rurals in this county have cutlasses ! If the Secretary of State , in the rules and regulations for these men , has authorized such an outrage upon the feelings of Englishmen , it is proper that some of the county magistrates , under the third seotioo of the first act , applioablo to them , made a representation to the Homo Office on the subject . —Nottingham Review . Stock mas made in Half an Hour . —We lately alluded to the manufactory of a new patent knitting machine , established in the vicinity of Newabbey village ; and we are happy to say , that the first machine constructed there is now all but finished , and is already in working order . Tbe merit of
inventing the machine belongs to Mr . Thorburn , stocking manufacturer in this town ; and although the model was completed fully seven years ago , the delays incident to all such inventions , and especially those caused by our complicated patent laws , have hitherto prevented consummation . The machine is compressed into a very small compass , and possesses nothing in common with the stocking-frame now in use , with the single exception of the needles . When tho thread has been looped on by the workman over a certain number of needles , according to > the breadth of the article to be made , the mechanism is set a-going , and driven by waterpower , moves backwards and forwards , adding a row at each movement to the rapidly forming web ,
the workman having nothing to do but see that all is going on properly , without the necessity , as in the common frame , of labouring either with his bands or feet . In the formation of stockings , for example , the greater or less number of needles brought into play at the will of the workman varies tho breadth of the web , to suit the tapering necessary to fit the varying thickness of the leg and foot ; while in the formation of tbe heel , which , as all housewives know to their cost , requires an extra fortification against the friction of the shoe , three threads are brought at onee into play by a novel and beautiful adaptation of the machinery and a treblerow of loops formed in that tender part by one ef the same movementB . The stockings whioh we saw on Saturday
last , made in this manner , are of a beautiful fabric , the regularity of the looping far surpassing that of the ordinary manufacture . The whole process , from tbe top of the leg to the tip of tbe toe , can he completed in the short space of half-an-hour , when tho stocking is ready to be stitched , and then worn ; 'and it is , moreover , anticipated , that experience will enable a single workman to superintend the movements of two machines at one and the same time . Even without this , however , the saving of labour bs very great , as by the present method a stocking cannot bo made in less than an hour and ten minutes , while , as before observed , the new machine obviates the necessity of spy bodily exertion —Dumfries Courier .

MOST EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE . COURT OF REQUESTS , CASTLE STREET , Arau . lira . SHABVAN tr . LORD M 0 NTEAQLB , Much surprise was created in this Conrt to-day by the presence of Lord Monteagle , accompanied by several friends and gentlemen connected with the Treasury and other Government offices . The plaintiff , William Sharman , who , it appears , was formerly a constable in the city police , stated that he claimed the sum of £ 5 , which he had put into the hands of Lord . 'Monteagle for the puippse of procuring him » situation under Government . A Commibsioner . —Are you sure that Lord Moatesftie received the motey 1 Plaintiff—Yes ; I saw tfw money iu tho hands of Lord Monteagle .

The Commissioner then called oa Lord Monteagle for his answer , when ) His Lordship stated , that one afternoon in the mont h of May , 1840 , when about entering the House of Peers , the plaintiff put a letter into his hands which he did not then stay to open , but broke the sea . ! and examined after entering the House when he found that it contained an enclosnre , which proved to be a Bank of England note for £ 5 . with a request that he would procure for the writer a situation under Government either as a Custom-house officer , or as a letter-carrier in the Post-office . Immediately after he ( Lord Mooteagle ) returned to the entrance of the House and inquired of the police-constable on doty whether he had Been a person give him a letter ! The
officer replied in the affimative , upon whioh he directed the policeman to endeavour to find the individual and briBg him jbaok . The policeman tried for some time , but waB unsuccessful in his search . He ' ( Lord Monteagle ) consequently retained possession of the [ note and the letter till the plaintiff applied for an answer . Being then desirous to ascertain whether the writer had offended against the law in ignorance , he granted him an interview , when , finding that hia knowledge of such matters was much superior to that of tbe lower orders in general , he referred the plaintiff to the Lords of the Treasury , and sent his letter and the
enclosure to their Lordships , who after some consideration determined , although a very bad case , that they would not indict the irrriter , but resolved on paying the £ 5 note into the Bank of England , to the credit of the Exchequer , as conscience money , which was accordingly dene on the 2 lst of December , 1840 . The plaintiff after applying several times to official parties to ascertain the result , was referred to him ( Lord Monteagle ) , who referred him back to the Lords of the Treasury , and after some time , as ths plaintiff found he could not obtain either restitution of his money or the appointment ho sought , he took out the present summons . :
His Lordship , in confirmation of the statement , produced the Treasury minutes , and various official letters and documents , including the bank receipt for the £ 6 note , and was about to produce Mr . Bulley , of the Treasary , and Jother witnesses , when The Commissioners intimated that they were satisfied that the plaintiff had no claim on his Lordship , and dismissed the case . His Lordship then called ! the attention ef the Court to a clause in the Act ; of Parliament under which the court was constituted , wherein it was expressly stated , that " no Government officer shall be amenable to that court for any act performed in his official capacity , " and the reasen why he did not claim exemption in this { case on the ground of the non-jurisdiction of the court was , that ho considered it better to go into the mtrits , as a full explanation was due to the country as well as to himself .
