R 3 . —On passine the Bradford B . 43 * u { e on Thur day week , uoiiced a young hoaUhy looking woman , washing the front doorway , on her banded knees ; on hearing a ratVle of chains , we begun to loak round to ascertain tha cause , when to our surprise , we espied a strong chain , which passed from one leg to the other of the young woman , fastened it each end with a large padloak . We -were informed , on inauiring the reason , that she had absented herself without leive . Oh , happy England ; the admiration of the world , and the eary of surrounding nations I
BXJDDSSSFZEZiD . —The new eleotion for a Board of Guardians is jnst at hand j another struggle is to be made to elect soon persons as will if possible , give a death blow to the accursed law , and place the management of the poor in such hands as can sympathise with a fellow-creature in distress . We understand that a contest will take place in most of the townships ; the people therefore will We an opportunity to record their V 0 t 63 against the Three Davil Kmgs' laTT ; if they do their work well , in all probability , before long , each township will have to manage its own affairs .
AitTi-Cobs-Law Hole asd Corner Meeting . — The Operative Anti-Corn Law Association of tf'ia town i ? tryiDg to Ret up another "flare up , " bnt the obstacle which stands in the way is , " Will the Chartists oppose us ? " One of these worthies declared that they should not , for to stop them we must have it where they can be kept oat . " So it was proposed to have , not a public meeting to get up peiition ? , bat a tea party * and inrite some great men ; and there pass the petition and get it signed It was agreed to , and in the course of a short time , wo may expect t-o s « e a snug " flare-up" to keep the Chartists away , knowing as they do , that the Chartists have declared to meet any party in public meeting , on any public question , to discuss the merits of such , no opportunity will ba given them ; but the © Id system of hole and corner meetings will be its end .
Hvddebsfielb Bastile . —There was a thin attendance of Guardians on Tuesday , but a very full attendance of applicants , trembling to meet the iaeches , who , gorged with the blood of the poor , are always ready arrogantly to perform the part of " Baffjthe beggar . " After a tedious and irksome duty of examining into the numerous cases of the applicants , ( during which Washington , the relieving officer , refused to pay what the Guardians ordered , ) ilr . Batley , in th ' e absence of the Chairman , read a letter from the Poor Law Commissioners , in reply to that ordered to be sent , containing the rcz&lnliou passed for dissolving the Union , on that day fortnight ; which said letter to the Commissioners also contained the v « te 3 on the question . The
Commissioners' letter stated that , as the resolution was so contrary to the spirit of the New Poor Law , they could not assent to the dissolution . Mjt . Bull B « gg = s moved that as there was only a female to manage the poor in Honley Workhouse , that four men b& removed from there to Golcar , aud that four females should be exchanged from Goicar t-o Honley . llr . Pitkethly expressed his surprise that any such proposal should be made , because he considered the Governess of the Hoaley Workhouse as talented a woman as that of the Huddersfield Workhouse . He opposed the principle , because every town ought to be as capable « another of managing their own poor ; and moved , as an amendment , that no exchange sbouid . be made until the debt due by the township of Golcar be paid to the treasurer ot ths Union . The amendment was last
The following notice of Mr . Piikethly was next read by the Clerk , viz , " Thaton Friday next , ho intended tamove that this Board do petition both Houses of Parliament against Lord John Russell ' s proposed Bill for the continuance ot the Poor Law Commissioners , and teat tie petitions be forwarded for pre * sentaiion a 8 early as possib ^ . " Auer some discussioD , a motion for doing away with filr . Pitkethly's notice was carried . Mr . Pitkethly then gave the following nouce , that on Friuay , the 12 th inst ., he wou ] d move u That the bastardy accounts be exhibited at ' this board on that dsy , "and also" For a return of the liumb . rs , ages , sexes , and condition of the inmates . of the several workhouses in the Union , with the average cost of each per head per week , also of the ^ health , habits , and cleanliness , and ( if any ) what diseases exist amongst them .

He piif-hed upon his head , and wa 3 killed npoa the spot ; he was forty-four years of age . An inquest was held the same ni ^ -ht before John Blackburn , Esq , at the hon-e of Mr .

The competitors were Mr . J . G . Uppleby—colour blue , wk ' ti an old corporation cap ; and Mr . R , J . Richarasort , in h&rlequin jacket , aud yellow cap . The Sirag 4 le was desperate ; the betting at starting being ramer in favour of " harlequin .

There -not being sufficient evidence to go to a jury , the trio , who are constant visitors to the gaol , were sent as reputed thieves to Wakefield for three months . DUMFRIES . —Ak Old Jack Tab akd the Rukal Polick . —On Saturday last , a case was tried by Sheriff Trotter , of Dumfries , with so much
secresv that few knew of it . The casa was this : — An old sailor , who had served royalty for about twenty years , and had got his leg so shattered in that serv . ce , as now to be of little use to him , called , with hia wife , on the policeman at Thorahill , to seek a little relief to help them on their way home , because , although he had encountered every danger , aud endnred every toil for nearly twenty long years , he had got no pension , as he had not served the whole time ia the service ; but , whether the policeman had " hardened his heart" against the suffering poor , a 3 one of our pious clergyman lately advised , or , that he bore malice to sailors , because some of them bad

distinguished themselves by helping the farmers to Buis-sh the " rurals" at our last Candlemas fair , or , that he was actuated by the dictates of his own heart , I cannot say , but ha ferociously refused to give poor Jack a stiver , although he had a passport and certificates of the best character . Jack remonstrated , and stoutly , like a bravo old British sailor , who felt indignant at being forced to travel in his own native land , with a passport like a vagabond , who was ashamed to beg and would have got the gaol if he had , and who with his poor wife had nothing to eat , and no where to lay his head save the cold ground , and nothing to cover them but the frosty sky , —and what did the cold-blooded rascal
of a policeman do f Why , he struck the poor old tar to the effusion of his blood and pushed him oat of his house—when , after , giving a broadside of oaths , he proceeded on his solitary way ; but the worthy , provoked by these harmless oaths , and knowing that his friends tho gentry and CleTgy Would protect , praise , and reward Mm , puTBUed old Jack and overtook him ( for by this time he had quietly proceeded forty yards ) and seized him by tho collar without a warrant , aud obviously without any lawful cause or right whatever . Old Jack resisted like an old heart of oak , blow 3 were given on both sides , a struggle ensued and both fell ; a lick-spittle of a fellow , ran to the aid , not of tho poor old man , but to that of the " rural . " By this time a small
crowd had collected , and a little boy , twelve years of age , having hissed , the brave " rural" seized him , and dashed him to the ground , an act which onr vsorlhy Sheriff highly commended . At seeing these things , a young nailer , named Renwick , whose face beams with benevolence and intellect—who is a noble son of Wiulaton , the place of the bold and the free , and who will long be remembered in this district , and among his brother tradesmen , sourred to the rescue ; but in vain , for the " rural" and his friend secured them both . On the evidence of these fellows and some others , the substance of which I have given , the noble-hearted nailer was sentenced to forty , and poor old Jack to fifty , days' imprisonment in onr horrid gaol . Such is the sympathy , kindness , and reward that the gentry shew to those who spend and risk thair lives in defending—aye
in defending what ! the estates which formerly belonged to the people , but which now belong all to them ; and of which , when life's weary struggle ia over , beiDg worn « ut in their service , the poor man can hardly get as much as will be his grave . I shall never forget when poor old Jack bared and held up his lacerated leg , to move the compassion of the Judge ; but it was in vain : he might as well have tried to move the feelings of a tiger ; for chough the clergy and the gentry may care for the rich , they care not a fig for the poor , who are either lacerated or murdered in their service . Old Jack feels this now , and ho iwcara if ever he handles a cutla-: again , it shall be for liberty aud the Yankees Let us bide onr time ; and we may yet live to reward old Jack and noble Renwick , or re them . — Correspondent .

A Pees at a Police Office . —There is nothing but revolutions in tliia world . It ia but a few days since Lord Cardigan was brought to trial in the House of Lords for shooting at one Harvey Tuckett ; and yesterday we had the son ami aepkew of Baron Foster paraded at College-street police-office for horsewhipping a Peer of the re&lm , who i » commonly called Viscount Mass&reen . The assault occurred upon Tuesday , in Nassau-street , when Mr . Charles and Air . Arthur Foster meeting Lord Massareen , asked him " if he knew them ? " to which he replied in the negative . They were , however , not to bb put off in this way -, so one of them pulling out a whip commenced flagellating the Ptser across Lis noble ehoulderB , and when this
ceremony was Cancluded , the operator and his companion proffered his cbastenvd Lordship th :: ir cards , which he in a dignified manner declined . With aching ghoultiers be proceeded to College-street police-office , and purchased a summons , aa a cataplasm for his woundtd dignity . To this lepal challenge the Fosters appeared , and confronted t ) : o haughty and horsewhi pped Massareen . The buaintes commenced hy Mr . Hitcbcotk , the Magistrate , very improperly proposing a private investigation , which v . as objpeted to by that highly respectable Barrister , Mr . J . A . Curran , who insisted that tho inquiry should be a public one . The examination then proceeded , and Mr . Cunan elicited from Lord Massareen that he was not only a poet , but the author of a work entitled . " The Sketch of Leva . "
which we understand—for Mr . Hitchcock -would not allow it to be read—refected -with vauth seVbrity upoa Baron Foster . Lord Maasareen intimated tli . it he only desired Lis assailants should be bound over to keL < p the peace , and they were accordiug ' y held to bail , that they houid not , under a penalty of two hundred poim < l » , borse-whip his Lordship for a twelvemonth . Here is another case which the Thunderer of Printing-housesquare may cite to prove " that there is ona law for the rich and another for the poor . " Wo leave out of sight the provocation which Lyrd Massareen may have given the Foster family , aud which tempted them to commit a breach of the law by horsewhipping him in the public street It may have been very grievous or frivolouB— it may have aUudtd to what Professor Napier would call " the clouded morning of a nii ? - ipv . it life , " or to some trifling eccentricity of character
only ca ' culated to excite a 5 miie , but , bo the provocation what it may . with that we have nothing to do , having merely to deal with the judicial conduct of the police justice . Bad example ia contagious . Lord Demnan , it will be remembered , the other day was tht aivocate for compounding a criminal chir ^ e against the Ejrl of Wildegrave , who ha-l nearly murdered a po'ice constable , and the Dublin . M ^ sidtrate , trea-Jiiiir in tae su-ps of the Lord Ctdef Justice , propuses a private invts-ti ^ ation of a cas e in which a Peer and the son aad nephew of a Ju > . i ; e aro tUe parties tn ^ aged . liud a hard-working mechanic , or even au industrious shopkeeper , b .-en brought before thiB Justice Hitchcock upon a similar charge would he have proposed a private investigatu-. u , and allowed the ottvuee to bt compounded ? Of a verily wo live in an age of impartial jistice . —The Wtrld . Dublin ) .
Legal Faece the Second . —There has been a pendant to the Cardigan mockery of justioj at the Old B . ul ^ y , in the trial of his Lordship ' s seeoud , Captain Douglas . The Judge upon whom devolved the fir ^ t pirt in the farce , had to wonder that there was no counsel for the prosecution , to expl .-iiu that th ' re was no evidence that Harvey Tuckett was Harvey Garnett Phiprs Tuckett . or that Captain D > uglas was Captain Doug . 'as . He sa : el that everybody knuw that Captain Tuckett had been fired at . and wounded by , Lor < l
Cardigan , on Wimbledon Counnna , but that , according io the rules of law , and tliu evidence produced , no one coul I Ie ^ iily know it- There ia such a thing as getting up a case for trial , and also there is JUch a thing as not geuing -up a case for trial , or rather getting it up for an accpHtal by ti-. e non-proOr . ctien of evidence . Tius b : us been done by the atlt > : n- y employed by Government on the pres-nt occasion , to avoi-t the scaudal of a conviction of Captain D-m ^ -las in a criminal court , after tho acquittal of his pri 7 ; ci ; ul in the highest tribunal in tLe r . aim .

HOUSE OF COMMONS . —Tuesday , March 9 . Mr . Villieks gave notice that very soon after the Easier r > cess he would bring under tie consideration of the House the propriety of the abolition of the Corn Laws . The House was for some time engaged in the important business of giving leave of absence to several of its Members , principally lawyers desirous of attending the circuits . Seme difficulties having been suggested , Mr . Goulburn insisted upon it that the House had generally found it vury convenient to get rid of the lawyers for a short time . Upon the motion that Mr .

Untitled Article
Mr . VVilkins aud air . Overend were for the proseoution . Mr . Wilton is a farmer at Ack . vroi-: h Low-grange , near jPontefract , and the prisonor , who had been formerly in Kfs service , lives at Hunslct , near Leeds . On the 31 of October , during the night , a horse was taken from his field , and on the following day the prosecutor made ' a series of inquiries of the . various toil-bar keepers and others , who lived on the road to Leeds . From these inquiries his suspicion was excited against the prisoner , and he went to Hunslet , in company with a police-officer . He reached the place about noon , and the prisoner was there dressing himself , an if he had just risen . Ou being charged with stealing the horse , he said that , he knew nothing of it , and had not been at tho place ; that he had been at Methley , and from thence went to Stanley , and forward to his home , but was never nearer to Pontefraot than that . This
SJatement was contradicted by a person , who proTed that on the evening before the robbery , the prisoner was at a public house , at East-Hard wick , which is within a mile of the prosecutor ' s house . The horse was subsequently fonud at a public-house , kept by a Mrs . StubUs , who is since dead , and the prisoner admitted that he had left the horsa thero , and gave a long rambling account of the manner in which he had become possessed of it . The prisoner in his defence , denied that be had stolen the horse , aud said that if he had been the person he had plenty of time to get away , and to have set the horse at liberty . He called the prosecutor , as to character , who said he had never heard anything against him until this transaction . The Jury found the prisoner Guilty , and he was seuteuced to be imprisoned , aad kept to hard labour for one year .

About half-past twelve he was awoke , when he found that his house had been robbed ; his drawers had been emptied , and a considerable quantity of wearing apparel carried awaj ; also silver acd copper tothe amount of 46 a . To connect the prisoner with the robbery , it appeared that a person named Kawnsley was passing the prosecutor ' s house about midnight , when he observed a light in the lower room . This excited his attention , and he made a stand , when a man outside put his head in at the window , and immediately the light went up .
Rawnsley s suspicions were then excited , and he went up to the house , when the mau outside ran away . Another mail attempted to get out of the window , when Rawusley seized him , and held him by the collar for some time , and called for assistance . The first man that he saw then returned with a large stick m his hand , and threatened to run it into Rawnsley ' s side , when he let go of the man whom he had seizsd ; but ho had sufficient opportunity to be satisfied of tho identity of the prisoner , to which he swore most distinctly . Some days after , on the 19 th of September , the prisoner was apprehended near an empty cottage , albout three miles from his own residence , and in that cottage was found a bundle , secreted in the roof , containing a portion of the property belonging to tho prosecutor . Guilty . To be transported ten years .

NISI PRIUS COUUT . —Wednesday , March io ( Before ilr . Justice Maule . J BECKETT AND OTHERS V . WILSON . Mr . CRESSWELL and the Hon . J . S . Wortlei appeared for the plaintiffs ; Mr . Btabiiey and Mr . Addison tor the defendants . This was an action of asoumpsit te recover £ 2 , 277 for money advanced , commission , and on acccount statsd . The defendant pleaded first that he did not promise ; and secondly , a set-off . Mr . Chesswell stated the facts to tbe Jury . Messrs . Beckett , Blaycis . and Co ., the plaintiffs in this case , are bankers in Leeds , and they sought to obtain from the defumtant a considerable sum of money , which , undoubtedly , they hod advanced to the defendant and others . Mr . Wilson did not deny that he waa a paity instrumental in obtaining the money , but he stated that he never entered into any engagement to
repay it , aud that it was not advanced on his credit . In 1834 , tho defendant with several other gentlemen obtained an Act of Parliament for repairing and maintaining a road called the Wortley and Star . ningley Kvjad . TJnUer this act tho trustees were empowered to raise mom y by mortgage on the tolls , and in various otuer ways , if a man advanced his money on mortgage of the tooj » , he fenew the security ne was taking , aad if it wan worth nothiug , he had only to blame his own folly . He believed the trustees had induced persons to advance money on such insufficient security , and bfoidtjs a number of mortgages , it was found essential for the interests of 'the trust , that the trustees sheuld open a banker ' s account . The defendant , Mr . Wilnon , was appointed treasurer , and he drew on the bankers for the purposes of the roa » l . After the act was passed , ; hey appointed Mr . Upton their clerk , and ho drew on M < saw . Beckett and Co ., whenever they wanted money . Tho cheques were in this form—« ' On demand ,

pay -, or bearer , on account of the Wortley andStanningley Road . " In the year 1838 , another act was obtained giving larger powers , and for making additional brandies to tho roads , ami after this act was passed , viz ., in January , 1839 , this order was made by the tnmees in favour of their surveyor— " That the ctf rk give a cheque to the surveyor of £ 8 weekly , and Messrs . — ¦ -, are appointed a committee for auditing these accounts . " Ttiese cheques were to be drawn on the bankers . Messrs . Beckett anil Co . did not like this additional order of £ 8 per week , aad accordingly t !; ey sent tho following note to Messrs . Upton and Clapliam , cleik . s to tlie trustees of Wortley andStanningley Road ;— " Dr . to Messrs . Beckett fit Co ., £ 2 , 150 10 s . 9 d . Sir . —We request you will lay before the Commissiontrs
of the above road the ainouiit oi debt due to us , anu inform them it will not be agreeable to us that tbe account should so continue , unless decisive steps are taken for its liqaidation , of which we beg to be informed . " On this , tho trustees agreed to the fellowing resolution—" Ordered that the clerk wait on Messrs . Beckett and Blayds , stating that the trustees intend to make a continuation of Water-lane , and request they will continue to pay £ 8 per week to the surveyor for the purpose of koepiug the road in repair . '' And now they s . iiil the money was advanced o « security of the tolls , and having bad the pleasure of rivalling M'Adam in the making of roads , they were much obliged to the . baukers for udvanciug them the money to do it . but th : it they would not repay one farthing of it . The L'jtuiWil Counsel contended the trustees were personally responsible , and referred to the casa of Barret v . Ayr « , reported in the tenth volume of
Binghsin ' s Reports , p . 283 , in which tho question was precisely similar , and the Learned Chief Justice of tho Common Pleas'left it for the Jury to determine whether the money was advanced on the credit of the trustees , or not . It might lie said the trustees were protected by a clause in the General Turnpike Act ; this would undoubtedly have been the case bad they mortgaged the tolls as provided in that statute , but Mt-ssrs Beckett and Co . had no such mortgage , and therefore he submitted the trustees were personally liable . It might be asked why they hart sslected Mr . Wilson as defendant ? Tho fact wm , he was wealthy , and he had taken an active part in the aftliirs of the tiust ; if he uad ochers joined with him in the trust , he would have to look to them for thair proportion of the debt . It now amounted to £ 2 , 277 , ixcluaive « f interest for a short period , which - «?; is , per u ^ 'S , not very niateriu . 1 , and that was the sum sought to be recovered .
Several admissions agreed to be aiade by the parties were made . Mr . Clapham , one of the clerks to the trustees , -was then examined in support of the circumstances stated by the Learned Counsel in his opening . Mr . Stark ie addressed the Jury for the defendant He said it would bd a great hardship on Mr . Wilson if he had to pay the whole of this large balance himself , whilst he was inertly acting as ona of the trustees of the road , deriving no benefit whatever from its funds . Tub Jury wmUl ' find the tol' . B had fallen greatly in vuluo of latts years , and it was not until the tolls had become a falling concern that tho bankers
had made any demand ' of the money . It was difficult to say how Mr . Wilson could be made liable—he had not pledged hia own personal responsibility—he had only aoted as treasurer prolempore , and it was , therefore , a harsh proceeding as against him . The Learned Counsel then contended that the credit was givtn on security of the tolls , urging , in eupportof this view , that the heading of the passs-book was to tbe treasurer of the Wortley a » d Stauningley Road , and that the general account , audited on the 17 th March , 1840 , was signed by Mr . Blayds , as treasurer . On this ground ho argued that if an action was maintainable , it was by the treasurer against Mr . Wilson .
The Learned Judge briefly summed up , and the Jury retired . After a shert absence , they returned a verdict for tho plaintiffs—damages £ 2 , 277 14 s . 10 d .
NAtLORU . XYAS . Mr . Wortley appeared for the plaintiff ; Mr . WiLK / NS for the defendant This was an action brought to recover damages for an assault The plaintiff is a mason in the neighbourhood of Halifax j the defendant is a maltster at that place . The assault arose out of a dispute which took place at a public-house . In stating the ease Mr . Wortley expressed bis hope that the time of the Cpurt would not be occupied with such a case , and suggested a reference , which was acceded to by Mr . Wilkins ; and Mr . StansfitJd , the barrister , was appointed arbitrator .
KIKG AND ANOTHER « . HODGSON . Mr . Knowles and Mr . Baines were for the plaintiffs ; Mr . Cresswell was for the defendant . The plaiutiffii aru the assignees of a bankrupt named Elsworth , wLo carried on buaintss as a worsted manufacturer at Bradford , and the action was brought to recover from the defendant , a relation of his , £ 95 , for money lent The jury returned a verdict for the defendant . After hearing the above , and other minor cases , the Count rose at half-past six o ' clock .
