THE NORTHERN STAR SATURDAY , OCTOBER 2 , 1847 .
Moral And Economical Advantages Of The S...
MORAL AND ECONOMICAL ADVANTAGES OF THE SMALL FARM SYSTEM . The facts respecting tbe condition of the proprietary yeomanry , of Norway , wh i ch we l a tely gave , from Mr Laing ' s interesting work , were sufficiently conclusive as a reply to much of the nonsense written and spoken on the subject of a minute subdivision of the soil . Much , if not aU , of this nonsense emanates from persons who , in agricultural matters , do not " know a h aw k from a handsaw , " or a pl o ug h from a harrow . They are mere parrots , wh o repeat b y rote th e lesso n s they have been crammed with , out of books , in which abstract generalisations of an extremely questionable character have been substituted for positive facts . We hold , however , with Burns , that
" Facts are ohields that winna ding , And canon be disputed ;" and , therefore , recur w i t h p lea s ure to the well-authenticated statements of an intelli gent a nd careful o bserver o f men a nd institut io ns , for a fe w more p r oofs of the immense mor a l benefit s which result from a comparativel y equal diffusion of Landed Property , in common with free political and ecclesiastical institutions .
We have alrea dy described the domestic condition and comforts of the unmarried farm s ervants , on the small properties of Norway . The position of the married peasantry is equall y comfortable . They have good roomy cottages , generally situated on the outskirts of the s mall estates , with grass for two cows and half a dozen sheep ' and goats . They hold this Utilefarm fir two lives , tinier a fixed obligation of furnishing so many days labour in the year , at a certain rat e of w ag e s , an d with victuals , which are both good and abundant . The labourer is entitled to throw up his holding at
t hree months ' notice , but his employer has no power to turn him out so long as the sti pu l at e d work-rent ispaidj thus rendering the cottager virtually independent . The Norweg i a ns of a ll classes are well fed , and take four and even five meals a day .. The bill of fare for a day , of the Norwegian peasant , is enough to make the mouths of every farm labourer in " merry England " water . The workman , before going to his labour in the morning , has his cake of oat or bear bread , with butter , and a dram of the brandy d i s t i lled on eve r y estate : at nine ,
breakfast , which is a substantial meal ; at noon , dinner ; and in the evening another meal , sim i lar to b re a kfa s t , with a dram ; and a s there is nei t her w a nt nor restraint in the use of spirits , and as they might have more drams if they wanted them , they never e x ceed the customary quantity . Drunkenness , indeed , is rare ia Norway , even at f a irs , where sp irits can be had in abundance at Is . 2 d . per gallon . There is some philosoph y in these facts , which we recommend to the stud y of the Teetotal Society .
The moral effects of this distribution of the soil , and abundant provision for the ph ysical and domestic comfort of the people , are evidencedin the criminal calendar . While in Sweden , the sister kingdom , in 1835 , one person in 114 of the whole nation had been accused , and one in every 140 convicted of criminal offences ; in Norway , in the same year , one person in every 457 was accused , and
one out of every 662 convicted ; thut proving the st a tement extracte d b y u s in a previous number— " That the kingdoms where crime is the highest and lowest be side b y side , " and the c o mparison and parallel is niuch closer between them than in the case of any other two countries , seeing that the convention a l a nd uni qu e offen c e s are probably much the same in both cases . felt i s no t , h ow ever , b y the figures of the criminal calendar alone that the state of a na-
Moral And Economical Advantages Of The S...
tion ' s morals is to" be estimated . Into'the picture many minute touches must be admitted , if we w ould h a ve it comp lete . In the course of an elaborate contrast between one of the superior districts of Sweden—that , at the head of the Wener LaVe , and his f avourite country , Norway , Mr Laing delicatel y and for c ibl y brings out the dis t incti v e differences between the two nations . The inferiority of the dwellings , the absence of order and cleanliness , and the inferior workmanshi p of the houses , furniture , and implements , in t h e Swedish district , were the very antipodes of t he st a te of things , in these respects , in Norway . We can find room for onl y one passa g e from this interesting sketch : — The ricketty , decayed condition oi the erev-water .
soaked , wooden hoases . Junpainted and unrepaired , and the disorder of everything in the house-yards , gave the impression of thoughtlessness and reckless poverty It is the best in the country , yet , in the course of thirty-five miles through this tract I saw not one new house building , no repairs of the old houses going on , and the steadings and outbuildings very crazy . In Norway , on the contrary , we are told that Every little estate , not so large , nor of such good soil , in general , as these , has the main-house , barn , and cow-house , and all the valuable offices , painted ted , often of orange , pink , or some colour which says little for the good taste , but much for the good condition of the peasant , and for his spirit of conservation , keeping in order , and in a good state all his property . In the Wener Lake
district-Not one house had runs and water-spouts at the roof , and very few porches , with benches at the door , for the house-father to sit and smoke his pipe in the evening . No cottage in Norway is without these appendages . < What is the cause of this remarkable difference ? Mr Laing shall reply in a m a nner to which we request serious consideration ;—There is some cause fur the want here ( Wener Lake district ) of those outward signs of the : wellbeing and prosperity of the country people . The wages of common country labourers are much less here than in Norway . The only travellers , indeed , I met on the road , were labourers going to seek work in Norway . If labour sells at a lower price ,
it is evident tbat both the labourer , and the persons who live by supplying the labourer , can abstract less of it from the simple necessaries to bestow on the gratifications of life . But why are wages less in this richer country ? Here . are canal ? , steamboats , iron werks , inland trade , and a great extent of land in cultivation , of all sizes , and towns to consume the produce . Why is the supply of labour greater here than the demand , while Norway , with a few , or none * of these advantages , is under-supplied ? lean only conjecture , that from the division of property in Norway , few are so entirely unconnected with it , and totally destitute , that they must sell their labour at any price .
In that sentence Mr Laing has "hit the rig ht nail on the head , " That is the secret of the whole matter ; and it is one of the most severe blows that could be g iven to the theory and system of the political economists . Sweden , with its greater actual wealth , and its more impoveri s he d people , is the natural offspring of that system . Everywhere we find tha t i t bring s into ex is ten c e the same hideous social monstrosities ; and the National Land Company , in endeavouring to' introduce the contrary princip le a nd system , is , in eff e ct , laying the axe to the root of a most unnatural state of things that where wealth is greatestwages are lowest , and the labouring classes worst off .
I f a ny a ddition a l . proof was needed , after what has been adduced , as to , the physical , political , and moral advantages which naturally spring from the direct proprietary interest o f a l a rge portion of the people in the soil of any country , it is to be found in the same work from which we have drawn these important and interesting illustrations of the pra c tical w orki n g of s o u n d a n d u nsound principles of national economy . We have seen that those portions of Sweden , which are thoroughly under the dominion of the polit i c a l econ o mists , present analogous features to those offered by our own and every ether country over which these gentry hold control . But even in Sweden districts occur in which
these pestiferous doctrines have not yet penetr a ted , and in which the prevalence of natural and just institutions impart comfort and prosperity to the inhabitants . Mr Laing gives a charming description of Angermanland , in which agricultural and manufacturingprocesses were simultaneously carried on by the same p op u l a ti o n in conne c ti o n w ith possession of the land , by the bulk of the peasantry , and a co-existent equality in station . In every hou s e the c heerf u l clic k of the loom was he a r d , and the banks of every rivulet had webs of linen spread on them to bleach . The manufactures are entirely domestic ; the whole is
carried on upon the little farm on which the flax is grown , and is m a naged by the females of the family , save ' the preparation of the land and the sowing of the flax seed . Mr Laing says : — The people of these two countries , North and South Angermanland , seem to unite on a small scale all the advantages oi a manufacturing and agricultural population , more fully than any district I have ever seen . The land is all in small estates , in the possession of the peasantry . The men do the farm business , the women are driving & net less profitable branch of industry . There is full employment at the loom er in spinning for old and young of the female sex . Servants are no burden . About the houses and inside , there is all the cleanliness and
neatness of a thriving manufacturing , and the abundance of an agricultural population . The tablelinen , laid down even for our glass of milk and piece of bread , is always clean ; the beds and sheets always nice and white . Everybody is well clad , for their manufacturing is like their farming , for their own usb in the fibst puce , and the surplus only as a secondary object for sale ; and from the number of little nick-nacks in their household , such as good tables and chairs , window curtains and blindswhich no hnt is without—clocks , fine bedding , papered rooms , and a few books , it is evident that they layout their winnings on their comforts , and that they are not on a low scale of social well-being , but on as high a seale as such of onr artisans as have a clear vein of constant living by their trades .
This , it will be remembered , i s an e x ception to the gener a l st a te of Sweden , as described by the same author . The people' are there ruled by the clergy , the aristocracy , and the trading economists ; and among them they seem , at the time of Mr Laing ' s s o journ in the country , to have brought things into . a worse mess than they are even with ; ourselves , under the Government of the same blessed trinity . S w eden is , in fact , quite a priest ' s paradise . The State Church has it all its " own way . They are untroubled by dissent , are well paid , " and the body of clergy and professors ,, lay and clerical , maintained by the law to teach the people . the i r rel i g ious and moral duties , amounts to one in every 125 of the whole
population , and yet it appears , on the authority of official statistical documents , ' that the Swedes a re the most demoralised peop le in Europe ! It appears that they commit more crime a g a inst persons and property , even in the rural district s , than " is known in our most densel y peopled manufacturing towns ; while the proportion of illegitimate to legitimate births , exceedsi ] anything to be ( found elsewhere . Paris is generally reported , to be the most depraved capital in this respect . ' In that city , illegitimate births are as one to five , But in the Swedi s h capit a l , with a population of 80 , 000 , the proportion of illegitimate births is ONE IN EVERY TWO
THREETENTHS \ Such are some of the more prominent results of a false and unjust distribution , a dominant church , an idle and oppressive j aristocracy , who live on the taxes wrung from the landle ss labourer , and a profitocracy , who sq ueeze fr o m industry that w e a lth which should gladd en the poor man s homeste a d , a s it does in happy Norway and pleasant Angermanland , where the princi ples of common sense , and th e natural instincts of justice , h a ve not yet been bani s hed b y the learned ignorance of pseudophilosopher s , and the all-grasping selfishness of modern traders .
We leave the facts to speak for themselves in the meantime ; and in a future article shall dir e ct a ttention t o s im i lar political a nd s o ci a l p he no mena i n o ther co untries , to show that the connection between the general subdivis ion of t he soil a n d g eneral prosperity and comfort , is essential—not accidenta .
• Registration. The Central Reg Istratio...
• REGISTRATION . The Central Reg istration and Election Committee have issued a circular setting forth the duties of over s e e rs in counties and boroughs ; an important and useful branch of information , since many a duly qualified person is disqualifie d , by the wilful or accidental neg lect of th e parish officer on the one hand , and the i gnorance of the ratepayer on the other . It is very easy for the officer to call a day too late , to omit a name from the list , or to enter one not duly qualified ; and various and frequent have been the tricks thus practised , owing to a want of
information on the part of the general public We recommend the s ynopsis , now published , to the careful perusal of our readers , and we would enjoin on them the necessity of especially attending to the reg istration , between this and the ensuing Parliament . We have already stated we do not anticipate a very long continuance for the ' present one , so confl ic ting ar e it s elements , s o littl e may the new spirit infused into its composition be expected to harmonise with theold . Work ' mgchw representation is the great question of the day —to it almost every public speaker alludes , be
heFree Trader or Protectionist . AttheCpngress of . Brussels , as at the meetings in Englandin the har a ngue of the peer , as in the speech of the merchant—the " Ri g hts of Lab o ur " are beginning to be recognised words . Whether it shall be more than " words , " rests with the peop le themselves—whether it is to be the mere " sop to Cerberus / ' or the manna to the weary wanderer in the deserts of monopoly , will d epend on the po s ition the peop le assume at the next General Election . The triumph gained in the last , is either the foundation of a glorious super structure , or the mere bar over which the torrent of misrule
frets and chafes , but rolls on afterwards with added impetus . True , indeed * the victory of Nott in g ham must leave glorious and lasting results , but popul a r apathy m a y impair thempopul a r apath y might let the harvest perish after it was ri pe—popular energy must secure fre s h fruits for the next gr eat s trugg le . To the work , then , Chartists ! The time to begin for the second victory , is the moment the fi rs t i s gained . Remember , we cannot be too strong . The greater our power , the more peaceful our progression , since Whig and Tory brawlers will not dare to outrage our forces . And let us al s o remember , that if w e want our l ead ers to fi ght with a bold front and an un da unte d heart , we must show them that we are still
working by their sid e ; we mu s t let them see that they will not stand alone in the next struggle , or else what encouragement have they to continue this one . We must prove to them , by our exertions and our energy , that we will make them even stronger than they areand while fragmentary faction is emp l o yed in the Penelope-like task of patching the old garment of monopol y , and then unravel' its own wor k , as expe d iency oblige s it d a ily to a lter its tactics , unsay its say ings , and undo its doing s —we must , b y k eeping the ste a d y course of working to one given p o i n t , with one u n divided power , g ive test i mon y th a t we reall y are practical reformers , who are skilled in their work , a nd not t o be calle d as ide b y v i s i o n a ry o b jects from the unmistakeable path of duty .

Sjsip Emancipation . —To the editor of the Northern Star . —Dear Sir , —Believing it to be an imperative duty upon every member of the National Land Company , to embrace and to put into execution aU plausible means that may offer themselves to hU imagins . tion or the per . ception ' of bis mind , tor the extension of the same , and the benefit of its members generally , I would beg to suggest a plan by which I calculate every member might in a few years become ' a small capitalist , and ( by co-operation ) a powerful auxiliary in strengthening that company . I suggest tbat every , member of the Company subscribe not less that one penny weekly , ( those who can afford it , and those who have already paid the full amount of their shares , tobe allowed to subscribe as much more as they may think proper ) for a definite period , and the money so raised t « be for .
warded by the treasurer of the respective branches , to the manager of the National Land and labour Bank , to be applied to' the purchase of land , and the erection of houses for the members , in the same manner in every respect as the present funds of the company and tbat every member be supplied with a memorandum or banking book , wherein he may have the amount ofhis subscriptions regularly entered by the secretary of the branch to which he belongs , and likewise at certain periods , the interest to accrue upon tho same . The good of the plan , will , Iapprehend , be clearly seenfrom the following view of it :-Supposing the number of members to average 30 , 000 weekly for a year , the sum realised by their subscriptions at the endof that period ; and at the above rate , amalgamated with the interest arising upon it , would exceed £ 11 , 000 . This sum would purchase 2 ae acres of land , admitting it to cost £ 50
per acre , and locate upwards of sixty families , upon allotments of three acres each , at the end of the first year , increasing in number every succeeding year , since the sum of the yearly subscriptions , at the endof the second year would be enlarged by nearly £ 550 , the rent of those allotments , and consequently a larger number located . -1 am , dear Sir , Yours , faithfully , T .

J . Sweet acknowledges the receipt of 8 s Id , from the Fox and Hounds , for the Sleaford murder case Policeman HAHYBT .--A correspondent commenting on a w $ h * " Wi 1 } w 5 i <* aPPearedinthe S ™ of Sept . 18 tb , says , 'Ionly disagree with 'Franklin' for not more publicly noticing the City policeman' Harvev and can only account for his not doing so , by pre- ' f " f he was not acquainted with the facts of the Marylebone sell . ' Allow me briefly to allude to the attalr so far as I and my co-associates were concerned . « j . s ? . e and a few staunch Chartists seeing with - n *??« oa * h ° impudent aspect assumed by the miscalled' MaryleboneReform and Registration Association , ' organised a society of « Electoral and non-elec torai inhabitants' to take measures to secure the independence of the borough . Previous to « HarveyV com . . mg forward the society not only rave their inVH » Hii » i
exertions to ensure his success , but went to some rather heavy expenses in printing for the man , and paying for rooms for meetings-this was cheerfully afforded , but as Harvey behaved so counterfeitedly , the exertions were certainly begrudged , and itisconsidered the society ought in fairness tobe reimbursed the ex . penses they underwent . * Stuart and Hall' have ' comin Egypt'if therelis noneinthe 'Old Jewry , ' Again , the society had to be sufferers in espousing Sergeant Shee ' as the next best man , the same expense incurred , and the same result , so far as loss to the society . Really , air , such conduct as this is discouraging to sincereradicals , and if Franklin' would observe upon this , instead of peeping into murky clouds , ha would be conferring a benefit upon the massts . —I am , sir , your obedient ssr . vant , Washington . [ We have not much pity for Washington' and his
friends , and certainly think they have no claim upon Stuart . » nd Hall . If men calling themselves Radicals , will consent to play the port of dupes to such as Harvey and Shee , they deserve to suffer . Shee professes to be nothing but an unmitigated humbug , and those who know the history of Harvey must know that , with tho exception of possessing superior abilities , he is other , wise no better than Shee . At the John-streetmeetine . when Harvey was brought forward by Messrs Williams Hetherington and Savage . Julian Harney proposed , that before Harvey was accepted by the people he should set wrth , in black and white , a declaration of his principles , particularly with respect to each and all of the « points' of the Charter . This was opposed by Messrs Williams antt Hetherington , who volunteering to act godfathers for the city policeman , rowed that Harvey was a thorough Chartist . The meeting was
gullible enough to believe Messrs W . and H ., and Julian Harney ' s amendment was rejected . Harvey was deemed to be above suspicion , and was , therefore , declared to be th . man of tbe people . A few days , how . ever , sufficed to dispel the popular illusion , Harvey exhibited himself in his true character , and then it was seen that ( the ; John-Btreet Radicals would have done weU to have adopted Julian Harney ' s amendment . Experience is said to ( be the best , if not the cheapest of schools—it is to be hoped , therefore , that Washington ' and bis friends have gathered political wisdom from the Marylebone election sufMent to compensate them for the less of their time and money . ] E .

NOTICE . —Anxious that clients should not be disappointed , and the number of cases rendering it impossible for me to attend to aU , I have arranged with a professional friend , equally competent with myself , to render tne his assistance . I , therefore , request tbat , in future , all letters containing law cases may be ad . dressed to me at No . 48 , Queen ' s Road , Bayswater , London ; but letters which relate to any other than legal business , to be addressed to me , as heretofore , at the Star office , since No 48 , Queen ' s . road , is not my place of residence . I also beg to decline all personal interviews , not having time for the same , neither can they be of any advantage to clients .
The immense number of unanswered law cases now before me , renders it absolutely necessary to prevent , if possible , the sending of any more for the present . In order the better to prevent it , I bez to state that till the cases now before me are finished ( of which due notice will be given ) , all law cases will be returned , unless accompanied by a fes of at least 5 s . Ebnest Jones . To ; LeTi Carrlrigton . —The widow is entitled to onethird of her late husband's personal estate , and his children by herandhis former wife are entitled to the other ' two-thirds in equal shares . As the husband , I suppose , was in possession of the furniture belonging to Iris sesond wife , it must be considered to be a part ofhis per . sonal estate , and must be divided accordingly .. T . Thornhill . —First . Unless the debt has been contraded or acknowledged in writing within the last six
year < It cannot be recovered . Second . Yes ; if for food , clothing or other necessaries . Third . Yes ; but where a debtis barred by the statute tbe alleged debtor might demur to the question , that is , refuse to answer it . Rich . Knebbbaw , Scarborough . —Mary "White may dispose of the real and personal property given to her by the will of John Taylor as she pleases , and without the concurrence or consent of her husband . Jno . Hobboces , Ardwick Green , Manchester—If you will send me correct copies of the two deeds of gift , and tell me how long you and your father have been out of possession , I will advise upon your case . To institute law proceedings , as you wish , without my knowing more about your case than I do at present , would be an act of madness . Sami . Hall , Windsor . —I have written to Mr Vewles about your father ' s will , and unless he assigns a more
satisfactory reason for refusing to give it up to you than he appears to have done , I will advise you as to the course you must take . . I hope , however , he will put it into your liands , and by doing so allow you to prove it , as you clearly ought to do . A Member of the Land Plait , Plymouth . —I do not clearly understand your case . You begin hy saying that you and your family have possessed the piece of land more than fifty years , ' without paying any rent for it , ' and then say that you and your family ' rented this house' upwards of fifty years , and that upon leaving the house two parties claimed the land ; one of them being the person from whom you rented the house . I think it is very likely that the land and the house , though , as you say , ' a gun-shot apart , ' belonged to the same person , and that the land , as well as the bouse , if
comprised in the lease under which you held the house ; supposing there was a lease . If there was , you had hotter look carefully into it ; but if you had no lease , enquire amongst the old people of the neighbourhood , and they possibly may be able to tell you whether the land belonged , fifty years ago , to the same person as the house belonged to . Unless you are quite certain tbat neither of the claimants can show a title to the land ) you had better give it up to the party of whom you held the house , and not get into a law suit . Gxo . Cherry , West AuklMid . —Give me the name of the man who employed the poor Irishman , and will not pay his wages , and . I will write , tobim-, and also give me the name of the Irishman . You ought to have paid the postage of your letter . I am put to considerable expense by clients neglecting to pay postage , and omitting to send postage stamps for private answers to their
case . Nathaniel Kittibwbll . —I fear the copy of Mr Jackson ' s will is lost . Perhaps you can send me another copy ; for as the executors intimate an intention not to pay except under a decree of the Court of Chancery , it will be the best that I should consider the case very care , fully , ( in order to see if a Chancery suit may not be avoided , ) and which I cannot well do , unless I see a copy of the will , the accuracy of which you can vouch for . Tbos . Clowsb . — The copies of tho wills of Francis Allen , Ralph R . Allen , and Ralph P . Allen came safe to hand ; but I have , for some time past , been so overwhelmed with business , that I have been unable to attend to them ; they shall , however , now receive an early attention . Will of Saml . Kent . —Amongst the numerous copies of wills and other papers now before me , I find an extract from the will of Saml . Kent , of St Michael ' s ,
near Winchester , but no letter or case along with it . Let me know who seat the extract , and for what pur-. pose . Jno . Knowles , Rochdale . —You say yourself and your father made frequent applications to the War Office during the last sixty years . Ifyou have got the answers of the War office , something perhaps may be made of your case , but ifyou hare not got the answers itis , I fear , a hopeless one . You state that your uncle died , worth more than £ 400 ; Do you moan to say that the whole of that sum was owing to him by the government , and that his relations hare received no part of it . John Ashwobth , Bury , Lancashire . —If you can give mo tho names of the plaintiff and defendant to the Chancery suit , and teli me in what year the bill was filed , I may be able to procure you the information you wish for ; but as there will be fees to pay for the search ,
and , probably a good deal of trouble attending it , you ought to send a Post-office order for 10 s ., or , if you ore poor , as much as you conveniently can . John Wilb , Leeds . —So far as respects the 'building ' there is no necessity for the enrolment of any deed re latlng to it ; though if it ( tbe building ) belongs to a number of shareholders , there ought to be a deed ( but it need not be enrolled ) defining the share of each shareholder , and investing two or three of the number with power to grant leases , sell , mortgage , & c . With respect to your rules , I cannot advise upon them without seeing them , and as the copy you say you sent to me some time ago is , I fear , lost , send me another , Sinclair . —I hare never seen the copy of the deed of gift which you left at the Star office . You had best call at the office and see Godfrey , and desire him to search carefully for it . If it cannot he found you probably have
a sufficient recollection of the contents of the deed to be able to put them down on paper , wh ' ch you may send , addressed to me , at 48 , Queen'fl-road , Bayswater which will answer your purpose as well , or better , than a personal interview . * Edwaud Eleus , Cambridge-row . —If you will send a copy of the abstract of the will , with the particulars of your case , to No . 48 , Queen s-road , Bayswater , I will give it my best consideration , as soon as possible . Patbick Yobb , Busby . —I will take an early opportunity of writing again to Mr Reynolds . CHARLta Rostock , Newton Heath . —1 st . The directors will not have any further or other powers than those given to them by the intended Act of Parliament ; but it being usual to invest the directors , in similar cases , ith
wpower over the society ' s funds , the Act iu your case would , most likely , invest the directors with such power . —2 nd . It . is impossible for me to answer this question without seeing yonr rules . If you will send me a copy of them with a reasonable ice ( for your so-. « » far , I suppose , from being poor ) , in that case I wul answer the question . O . Cable . —It is utterly impossible for me to say whether the lawyer ' s demand is a just and proper one , without seeing the porcicufars . I think your best plan would be to state your case ti the court , and ask its protec tion aguinst | unreasonable demands . Your letter , I per . ceive , is of an old date , and my reply , I fear , may come too late to be oi any use ; but it has been quite impossible to return early answers to one-tenth of the cases I have received .
W . SurcLiFFErllaigh House , Warley . —At your wish . I ad dressed a private letter to you , but it has been returned by the Post Office marked ' not known . ' I therefore give you acopy of the letter inthe columns of the Stab , ' Your friends' father had the p < , wer to gWethe property

' Thomas Tabebneb , Lamberhead Green . —Captain Waters it appears , is dead , baling appointed his son and a Mr Moser his executors . Mr Mover , in reply to my letter to Captain Waters , says that Captain Waters ' s son in . forms him that Mr Pennington ' s affairs were settled twenty or thirty years ago , and that upon winding uo the executorship £ 4 er £ h was found to be due to Can . tain Waters . Mr Moser adds tbat Mr Pennington ' s will does not ap pear amongst Captain Waters ' s papers but that an'application was made not long ago by a ner ^
son who stated that she had acopy ; but Mr Moser does not mention her name . You may possibly know , and may obtain soma information from her . John Niwbt , Thornley . —I really cannot see that Ann Nicholson has the slightest chance of recovering any thlmjfromMrPearetb . In your last letter ( that of tbe 22 nd ult . ) you refer to one which I have no recollection of having received . A letter accompanied the copy 0 f Mr Rutherford ' s will ; H > ut that etldently is not the letter you allude to . W . Coops , Sherbrook . —The property alluded to in yonr letter , must , I should think , from what you say , be in the Bank of England , and not in the Court of Chancery . A book of unclaimed dividends might give the informs . tion you wish for ; but I have not the book , a ^ 4 ivij a high-priced one . John Roqo , 3 , Poplar-square , Nottingham . —The father of Sarah Kenny's cM'dren has a right to tbe property de . vised to his late wife during his life , as tenant by the
courtesy ; and subject to his life estate , bis late wife ' s only son in entitled to it as tenant in tail . With respect to the property devised to William Kenny , if he died without barring the entail and without devising or other , wise disposing of the property , in that case , it belongs I conceive , to the eldest son of Sarah Kenny , and Mary Ann Kenny ( if living ) as tenant in common tail . Your wife has no present right to any part of the property . Isaac Kilsall , Dukinfield . —If you can send me acopy of William Kelsall ' s will , 1 ! will see if the £ 200 legacy can be recovered ; and if it . cannot , not one farthing ( of expense will you be put to . If you possess a copy of tbe will , you had best keep it by you , ( for fear of loss ) and send me a copy of such copy ; but let it be a correct one Mart KiBK .-Your aunt having left a daughter , yoa have no right to take out letters of administration to her effects ; unless indeed the daughteris an infant , Jakes B . Milleb , Edward ^ street , Ardwick Green , —If
you do not come to a fresh agreement with your land , lord , he may either eject you , if you hold over , or coir * pel you to pay double your present rent . You are net a ' poor ' man , and yet you solicit gratuitous advice ; and , in despite , too . of the notice which has appeared for several weeks past in the Star . William Wilshaw . —I will take an early opportunity of writing to the executor of your late father ' s will , and hope I shall be able to bring him to a speedy settlement with you . ... Wk . Cbabtbee , Derby . —The case to which you allude has , probably , been lost or mislaid by the gentleman into whose hands you put it . You could , perhaps , see Wm .

Richabp Jackson , Careystreet . —If I recollect right , I some time ago answered your case ; but if not , I will take an early opportunity of looking over Mrs Lynn's will , and advising upon it .
