FiirwsG Monet . —On Thursday last , a young man named Charles Kay , son of Mrs . Kay , confeottoner , Duncan-street , appeared before Griffith Wright and A . Titley , Esqre . at the Court House , under the following circumstances .: —On Tnesday last , Mrs . Battye , of Headingley , whilBt at Leeds , ha-d ihe misfortune to Jose her purge , containing a £ 20 Bank of England Hole and three sovereigns . She made known her loss by means of handbills the same day ; and the police having heard that a purse containing money had been found in Mrs . Kay's shop . Inspector Hainswonh went thenbut both
, Mrs . Kay and her daughter denied all knowledge of such a circumstance . On Wednesday , however , a female , from Morley , named Charlotte Smith , being acquainted with Hainsworth , went to him and told Mm that she had , on Taesday , picked np a purse in Mrs . Kay ' a shop , which contained three sovereigns and what she thonght was a note , but that is 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 pnrse , when she was answered in the
negative . Acting upon this information , Hainsworih again went to Mrs . Kay ' s on Wednesday , taking Mrs . Smith along with him ; bnt she , being in the background , was not seen until Mrs . Kay and her dan ^ hter had again denied all knowledge of the purse . Bat when they saw Mrs . Smith Mrs . Kay turned round and acknowledged that her son had taken the purse from her . Search was then made Tot young Kay , and he was found at a publio-honse in a state of intoxication . On being asked he said that siout lady had called upon him that morning , and to her he had given the purse and money . He was taken to the police office , where bail was taken
for his appearance before the Beneh on Thursday . When be came , however , he was nearly drank j and , in repJy to questions from the magistrates , he ao * knbwledged having had ths £ 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 most nnsatisfactory , ordered him 10 be locked np till next morning , when he would probably be more sober . Subsequently the hearing of the case was put off till Monday , to suit the convenience of all parties . The sum of £ 20 was deposited at the polioe office for the appearance of Kay .
The Watch Committks . —At the nsual weekly meeting of this body , on Thursday , it was resDlved , on what authority we know not , but we think the rate-payers have a right to know , to pay the ex * pences of Messrs . James and Hepworth , which they bad incurred by the late trials against them at York . The money , it is said , is to come out of the reward fund . Query—Where does the reward fund come from ? Hobsb Stoles . —During the night of Thursday last , a brown mare was Btolen from the Btable of Mr . Samuel Petty , in Holbeck-lane . The mare has a white star on her forehead , and stands about fifteen hands high . . Pleascbe Trip . —Yesterday , being Good Friday , Borne extra trains left the railway station in Hunsleu lane , for Hull , York , Derby , &c , at reduced fares , to favour the holiday people . A numerous company availed themselves of the opportunity .
Boxglart . —During ths night of Taesday last , Jhe 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 honse , Mrs . Atkinson overheard them , and got up , which caused a sudden flight , and some property , -whioh b&d been packed ap for removal was left behind . The thievea 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 pretty considerable . On Wednesday , the Leeds Police officers received information that & satin dress had been offered for sale at WakeSeld , and on proceeding there it was Touud to be one of those stolen whieh had been detained , but a woman who offered it made her escape , and hitherto no further trace has been heard of her .
Discha . b « s op a Debtor prom Youk . Castle . —On the oth inst-, Miss Moss , who has been in custody as a debtor in York Castle , twenty-four years and six daysfwas discharged . To show the injurious tendency of such lengthened imprisonments , we may remark tb&t during that time she had been allowed 11 , 2321 b . of the counti bread , which at the average of 23 . 6 d . per stone , amounts to the sum of £ 100 os . We understand that the legislature is about to interfere to procure the liberation of those debtors whose confinement has been of long standing . There is another person who has been in the c * stle upwards of twenty seven years .
LEEDS CHURCH WARDENS . We beg again to remind the people that the meeting of the inhabitants and rate-payers of the parish is fixed by the Churchwardens to be holden in the Vestry of the Parish Church , on Thursday n » xt , at twelve o ' clock at noon precisely , " for 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 churchwardens last appointed , four , Messrs . Croaland , Sanderson , Pybns , and Saville are said to have attended to their dnties : it will be bnt fair , therefore to re-elect these men if thr y choose to stand . And let three others be looked out for , -who will also do their duty in the office .
HTTDDEBSFIEIa ) . —Melancholy Accident . —On Saturday last , as John Haigh , millwright , at Messrs . Starkey ' s , Longroyd Bridge , was in the act of boring a hole through the floor above him , a shaft of the machinery , in the room , and in full operation near to him , accidentally caught his smock , and drew him round the wheel , which a t the time was revolving at least sixty times in a minute ; and , before the engine could be stopped , his clothes were torn from his body , and his legs were so broken and braised , as to leave no appearance of tbeir natural j form . He was immediately removed to the Infir-1 mary in a sensible state , but died in about ten ' minutes . He has left a wife and three children to mourn their I 033 . An inquest has since been hel j over the body , and a verdict of " Accidental deaf " retoraed .
BBADFOBD . —Trrass . —Sixty-nine pro * - > csses were obtained by the lessee of the tithes of tne parish of Bradford , Mr . Scholey , of Wakefj - gid , » t the Court House , against parties refusing or neR . lecting to pay tithe . The Court House ws / crowded on Wednesday by the defendants , who i fflre , many of them , defended by Mr . G . Higham , 0 ' / Brighonse , solicitor . No hearing of the cases too' place , as by an agreement the matter was adjonn iC < j t 0 j ne 21 st of June , in order to allow time to tjOi , j a meeting of the parties intered to see if the matter cannot be ajnic&bly settled .
Bradford Market , Thurs- ^ , _ Wool—There has been rather more doing in f j 9 ait } cie during the week , and the stock of combii ^ ^ scarcely so abundant as for some tiro ' past , which is to be attributed to the indiffer- ^ gg of j ne Staplers to juTchase fresh stock , sr ^ jng no chance of realizing a profit by his tr jns&ctions . In prices no alteration , but a gre >* > er firmness is manifested . Yom ~—The demand x xr Yarn continues steady , but no alteration in pric gs—pi € ce . —There has scarcely been so good an at' ^ ndance of merchants to day , or has the business ' " jone been equal to last week , vets fair quantity of goods has changed hands , ana the prices very fir m
Repokt £ d dbath FB 0 M Starvation . —During this week , ? report has been very generally circulated that A man nad died from starvation , somewhere ii \ White Abbey , Bradford . Inquiries into the master Darfe disclosed the following circumstance j . The deeeased person alluded to , was named Janw ^ -Greenwood , he was a wool-comber , aged forty year ^ an belonged to the township of Heaton . He ha d lodged for near two years with a comber named F / eyworth , who resided in Boyes' BnildiDgs , Brickiane , and had been afflicted with a cough and ex-. eessive expectoration during the winter , though he hadnotgiven up hie work , bnt was employed till about three weeks ago . He had never soaght for medical -aid . notwithstanding the repeated warningB of his
landlady and others that the symptoms of disease he exhibited were sneb as indicated eonsnmption On the 24 th ult ^ having been obliged to give up working , not having any money , and nok being in any benefit society , he applied to Sykes , the relieving officer for Beaton , at the board of guardians , for relief , and was told by him that he could not be relieved there , bnt must apply at the pay-room in Heaton , on the following Tuesday . He did so , and then Sykes told him that he could not relieve him ; as he was resident in Bradford , and therefore he -mast apply to Mr . Reancy at the Conrt-honse . On Wednesday he went to the Court-house , and made application to Mr . Hessiey , * who said he wuld not relieve him then , he must wait until Friday ,
when he would have to appear before the board of guardians . On Thursday , Mrs . Heyworth went to Mr . Reaney , who at first refused to relieve until Friday , bat on hearing her statement of the case , he gave her Is . to get over the day , asd 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 his deputy & 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 waspaid on Saturday , and a sote for the surgeon was also givea . 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 aii hopes of recovery . He attended him on the Saturday and Monday , and called on the Tuesday , but ftt that time he was dead , having expired on Monday night while eating part ni an orange . Hi- ; death was very sudden , for but a minute before he filled a pipe of tobacco and sat up in bed smoking it , and appeared very cieerful . Tke . assertion as to hi * having died froin want , appears to be unfounded , inasmuch as previous to his oeasiEg to work fie had wha ; he choose as suettnanoe ,

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 . . Dawgeb of Platuto with Edged Tools . —About half-past eight , last Saturday morning , an ostler , named Sellers , employed at the Roe Bnck Hotel , in Bradford , put hiB own existence in imminent jeopardy , under the following singular circumstances : —While talking with a party , with whom he was drinking , on the melancholy death of his master , he very imprudently took up a knife , to shew them how the unhappy man inflicted bis own death-wound , and in so doing he made a deep gash aoross his own throat about two inches long , and just over the carotid artery . Mr . M'Michan , sargeon , was immediately called in , and fatal consequences happily prevented . The man is gradually recovering .
Fihb at Ecclesbill . —Early on Sunday morning last , a fire wa 3 discovered in the boiler-house attached to Messrs . Johnson and Co ' s scribbling mill , Apperley-lane , Ecoleshill . Information was conveyed to the Bradford engine-house , the alarm bell was rung , and in a very short time after both the town ' s engines and also that belonging to the Leedsand 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 , which will require , perhaps £ 40 to pat it in repair again . The origin of the firo is a 9 yet unexplained , bnt nothing has transpired to favour the supposition than it was other than accidental .
HA WICK .- Ever since December last , the trade in this town has been getting worse and worse . A great number in the various trades are now out of work . The hosiery trade , the principal one in this locality , is at present extremely dull . A great number of the workmen are out of employment , and those still in work are stinted to various small sums per week . Still they have endeavoured by small weekly contributions , to maintain those thrown off ; but it is to be feared that they cannot leng continue , as the unemployed are increasing weekly , while at the same time those partially employed are getting more and more unable to contribute anything towards their support . In one of the factories , a notice was put on the door of the warehouse a few days ago , that the stint would in future be only four shillings for single , and six
shillings for married men per week ; but that the men might work more if they would take goods in payment . Is this not the truck system ? The masters in this factory are particularly conspicuous as Corn Law Repealers—real" weeping advocates " of the poor man ' s cause . Good , tender-hearted souls ! some of them cannot even get a sound sleep in their beds for thinking on the miserable con dition of the working men of this country 1 and all caused by these abominable Corn Laws ! i Really it is astonishing that a class of working men will still follow , aye , and even applaud , such men , or for one moment believe their profession of regard for the interests of the working classes , when it is notorious that they are invariably in the habit of seizing every opportunity which their position gives them of still further reduoiug the small pittance which the workmen receive . —Correspondent .
BARSSSAD . —The Leagueis in Renfrewshise . —Mr . Acland , the respectable hero of the League , has made this locality the scene of his perambulation for some time past . On delivering his second lecture in Milstoa on Friday , 30 th of March , he boasted of the superiority of the Corn Law agitation over any other . Mr . S . Kidd , of Glasgow , challenged Mr . Acland to a public discussion in Milston , Barrhead . or any other town in Scotland , England , or Wales , but the wily repealer did not accept it , declaring that he was the servant of the League , and they had resolved to hold no more
discussions . In consequence of this , Mr . Kidd lectured in Mrs . Walker ' s large ball , Barrhead , on the evening of Monday iast , Mr . James Kepil in the chair on a Repeal of the Corn Laws , ori which occasion he proved that a repeal of the Corn Laws would not benefit the working and shopkeeeping classes . The hall was crowded to suffocation , and although the lecturer had publicly challenged Acla&d or any of Mb party to defend the Free Trade dootrines , there was no opposition . The League is completely ebop-fjillen , and has declared that they will hold no more polio meetings , but will agitate the public works through the medium of intimidation .
ST £ Azt £ AES .-A meeting of the anti-Corn Law Association was held in the Town Hall , on the evening of Friday , Mr . Irving , one of the Town Council in the chair . Mr . Irving having briefly explained the object of the meeting whiob was to petition the House of Commons for a repeal of the Corn Laws , Mr . W . Magee , bookseller , arose and begged permission to etate to th © working men present , his views of the efforts now being made to obtain an immediate and total repeal of the Corn Laws . He said that many present , no doubt , recollected the manifold and expensive exertions which had been made by the British publio for the emancipation of the black people in the West Indies , and at last bad to pay twenty millions sterling for the rjere name of emanoiation , for they had bo more power in making the laws they they had to obey , than the non-electors of England .
The penny postage Yf&s yielded also upon condition that should th ' ^ revenue be injured thereby , new taxes wonld b A imposed to make up the difference . Hence arose Veel ' sinfernal Income Tax , and tariff scheme , and now that affected the working man ' s condition , ? fa ctowda Vf ho now traversed our populous citie *^ , exclaimin g bread or death , could best explain . For these reasons , I am , said the speaker , decided' . y of opinion that no bad law will ever be repeak i by our present class-legislation , more especi t \\ y if it affects their own interest , until they are r ( erfectly satisfied they will be fully compensated f ° it . The Chairman said he agreed with every tb j ^ Jlr . M . had advanced , but as the meeting was c' tiled for the express purpose of petitioning for a ' / f-peal of the Corn Laws , he hoped that nothing would be Baid or done to mar the harmony of it , and f if any one called a meeting for the advocacy of the ! Charter , he pledged himself to give it his support .

Stockings 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 . The 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 sach 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 . Whtn the 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 hands 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 the breadth of the web , to suit the tapering necessary to fit the varying thickness of the leg and foot ; while in the format : on of the heel , which , as all housewives know to their cost , requires an extra fortification against the friction of the shoe , three threads are brought at once 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 movements . The stockings which 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 the top of the leg to the tip of the toe , can be completed in the short Bpace of bali-an-hour , when the stocking iB 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 Uabour ss very great , as by the present method a stocking cannot be made ia less than an hour and ten minutes , while as before observed , the new machine obviates the necessity of ai > y bodily exertion . —Dumfries Courier .
The Devil ahong the Bakers . —On Monday morning last , an occurrence took place in the bakehouse of a most respectable tradesman—a baker living near the Market-place—which . -were it not for the rather BeriouB consequences which ensued , might be deemed of a somewhat amusing—as it is most certainly—if true , of a Btartling naturej It appears from the statement of the whole of five workmen employed at that time , tbat at about halfpast one o ' clock on the morning in question they were at work ia the bakehouse , and while induBtriously putting the dough through the processes of kneading , rolling , and pricking , were somewhat startled by a knock at the back window , whieh looks
into a yard , inaccessible from without . One of the men looked out , but Beerag nothing , their labour waa resumed , when suddenly was heard a loud knock at one of the paste tubs , and soon after another of most tremendous violence on a smaller tub in another part of the bakehouse . No wonder that the alarmed bakers' knees smote each other—that their hands trembled , and their faces became paler than the dough they were kneading , at all thia . And now their alarm was increased by a second tap at the window , which may be more easily imagined than we can describe . At length ome of them—a man we are informed , sadly addicted to profane swearing * and who had but a short-time previous , in dreadful language , wished himself in the abode of the vncked , ventured to open ' the window ^ and there

—if he may be believed , he saw a sight to make the stoutest quajj , and one which , to the astonishment and alarm of his fellow-workman , caused him , with hair on end , to reel back horror-stricken into the room , aud fall insensible on the floor . When recovered from his fainting fit , the man was conveyed home , and has , we understand , ever since been ill , unable to sleep , and dreadfully excited . When he bad so far recovered as to etate the cause of his fainting , he declared—and the manner in which he epoke Bhowed how truly he believed what he 6 aid ~ -that on looking out of the window he saw a dreadful figure , which he took to be the devil , with enormous glaring eyes , a body covered with green scales , and all enveloped in
flaoie , pointing towards him ; that horror-struck at iho sight , his vision failed him , his blood ran cold , and he fell down insensible to all that followed . This occurrence so worked upon one workman—a drunkard—that he joined the Temperance Society the next day , and being unable to sleep in consequence of his fright , fell down at his work a night or two afterwards , and unfortunately chopped his finger off with the machine he was working . The fearful figure which is stated to have been seen may have been easily " coinage of the brain , " but the puzzling part of the story ia , that all the five men should hear distinctly the knocks which preceded the alleged vision . We believe the men have not since been intruded on in their work , by this , at all times , unwelcome visitor .- —Hull paper .

Serious Accident . —A great gathering of Mathewites was held on Sunday , at a place called Minanebridge , in the county of Cork , which by the Falling of a platform had very nearly led to a very tragical result . The affair is thus described in the Cork Examiner . — ' * * Dear friends , '" said Father Mathew , ! "' wo are met here this day for a '—just as the word \ was Bpoken , the long beam or scantling , crossing from pole to pole , and supporting the front of the platform , was broken across with a loud crash , and down came the whole stage , with the band and gentlemen who were grouped round Father Mathew . The frame-work alone remained , and as the people { who stood on the platform and the beams which j composed its flooring fell together to the ground , a
wild shout of terror and dismay broke from the mighty multitude , and piercing shrieks from those who sought to extricate themselves from the mass . The only one who clung to the remaining part of the frame-work was the apostle , -who calmly held on by the ropes , and then , although with some little difficulty , was helped to descend from his perilous elevation , a height of ten feet from the ground . After the first rush and confusion necessarily consequent upon such an- accident , it was discovered that , witti the e&ception of one poor cake woman , who was bruised , from men , women , and children tumbling over her , there was no matt rial personal injury suffered . She ,
however , soon recovered from tne fright she received , and was amply compensated by Father Mathew for the loss of her basket and ( takes . Had the platform fallen towards the people , who stood before it in one dense mass , the consequences would , no doubt , have been fatal ; but , meat providentially , it fell in the opposite direction , aad against jjhe rise of the field , and thus numbois who were actually standing under the front , fox shelter from the rain which then descended , were happily and miraculously saved ! Some musical instruments were shatterd , and some garments were rent , besides a few slight scrapes and contusions receivedand this , thank Heaven . ! was the total amount of the injury sustained . "
Obtlawht at j Bbightoj * . —A novel occurrence took place ou Sunday morning , in the parish churchyard , just as the congregation were leaving the church . Previously to the service , the Sheriffs ' officer bad posted ou the dpor a proclamation of outlawry against a Mr . Knight , formerly a surgeon and apothecary , residing in Sillwood-plaoe , and now nanest ; and as the close of the sermon , the officer , elevated on a tomb close to the principal door , read , three several times , a proclamation , warning the said Mr . Knight , that unless he appeared on the
following day before the Barons of her Majesty ' s Exchequer , he would be " outlawed . " The congregation speedily formed a circle around the officer , and at the repetition of the appalling word exchanged looks of snrprise with eaoh other ; but as their astonishment was reaching its height , the officer , having finished his duty , left them to their wonderment . Thecopy posted on the churcfr-door notified that the proceedings are taken by a considerable number of Brighton tradesmen , to whom the outlaw was , we hear , indebted to a large amount .
Loss of Two Ships by Firr . —Accounts have , withia the last two or three days , been received at the different insurance companies in the city , of the total loss of two vessels , with their cargoes : —the schooner Agnes , belonging to London , and the brig Jemima , of Glasgow , The loss of the first-named vessel , which was a- fast sailing sohoonor , about 150 tons burden , occurred on the night of Friday , the 24 h ult ., Iat . 54 . deg . 9 . h . long . 3 , east , whilo on her passage from Havre to Hamburg , having a valuable general cargo oa board . She had been but a few days on her passage , when , at about half-past nine o ' clock at night , the watch on deck were startled by the appearanoe of smoke issuing through the main hatchway , which was instantly torn off , and ,
to the dismay of all on board , they fouud the cargo to be on fire ; but it was evidently at the very bottom of the vessel . For three or feur hours water was poured down in torrents amongst the cargo , without producing the slightest effect upon the fire ; in fact * it was rapidly gaining head , and , as a last resource , the hatches were closed , battened down , and means adopted to stifle the flames . In the meanwhile the master , whose conduct throughout is spoken of in terms of high praise by the crew , brought the ship round into a different course , in hopes of meeting with some vessels , and lights were hoisted at the mast head as a signal of distress . At about half-past two o'clock the destruction of the vessel became inevitable , for the decks were nearly
burnt through ; and before there was time for the crew to launch the boat the devastating element burst forth in an immense volume from the main hatchway , in its ascent communicating to the mast , sails and rigging , and , ere a quarter of an hour had elapsed , the whole vessel from stem to stern presented one vast body of flame ; the crew , who had previously jumped into the longboat , remaining withia a short distance of the burning ship until she went down , which did not take place until between six and seven o ' clock . Everything in her was . by that time consumed ; the mast had fallen overboard , and nothing remained but her mere shell . Two hours after the vessel had sunk the crew were picked up by the Norwcgiau barque
boaoatre , Captain Holot , from Holmstraad for Harlingen , the fire having been seen by them at a distance , and were bearing down to afford assistance . On board of that vessel the master and received the utmost kindness and on Monday week last they were safely put ashore at Texal , near Niewdiep , The vessel and cargo are only partly insured . The destruction of the other ship , the Jemima , of Glasgow , by fire , happened on the morning of Wednesday , the 22 nd of February , in Iat . 35 . long . 18 , under similar circumstances . Soon after the outbreak of the flimes , a vessel , called the Gartsherrie , came alongside and took the crew on board , and afterwards landed them safely at Madeira . The ship is fully insured at Glasgow .

MOST EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE . COURT OF REQUESTS , CASTLE STREET , April 11 th . SHABKAN 0 . LORD MONTEAQLE . Much snrprise was created in this Court 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 , waa 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 purpose of procuring him a situation under Government . A Commissioner . —Are you sure that Lord Montesgle received the money ? Plaintiff— Yes ; 1 saw the money in the hands of Lord Monteagle .
Untitled Article
The Commissioner then called on Lord Monteagle for his answer , when ' , His Lordship stated , that one afternoon in the month of May , 1840 , when about entering the House of Peers , the plaintiff put a letter into his hands which he did not then stay toi open , but broke the seal and examined after entering the House when ho found that it contained an enclosure , 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 Monteagle ) returned to the entrance of the House aud inquired of the police-constable on duty whether he had seen a person give him a letter ! The
officer replied in the affimatiye , upoa which he directed the policeman to endeavour to find the individual and bring him back . The policeman tried for some time , but was j unsuccessful in hia search . He ' ( Lord Alonteagle ) consequently retained possession of the note and the letter till the plaintiff applied for an answer . Beine then desirous to ascertain whether the writer hadoffended against the law in ignorance ^ he granted him an interview , when , finding that his knowledge of such matters was much superior to that of the lower orders in general , he referred ! the plaintiif to the Lords of the Treasury , and sent his letter and the
enclosure to their Lordships , who after some consideration determined , although ja very bad cats , that they would not indict the writer , but resolved on paving the £ 5 note into the Bank of England , to the credit of the Exchequer , as conscience money , which was accordingly deno on rhe 21 st of December , 1840 ; The plaintiff after appl y ing 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 th » plaintiff found he could not obtain either restitution of his money or the appointment he sought , he took out the present summons .
His Lordship , in confirmation of ihe statement ,, produced the Treasury minutes , and varioHs official letters and documents , including the bank receipt for the £ 5 not . e , aud was about to produce Mr . Bulley , of the Treasury , and other 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 of the Court to a clause in the Act of Parliament under which the court waa constituted , wherein it was expressly stated , that " no Government officershali be amenable to fhat court for any act performed in his official capacity , " and the ( reason why he did not claim exemption in this case on the ground' of the non-jurisdiction of the court was , that he considered it better to go into the jmtrits , as a full explanation was due to the country as well as- to himself .
