      OS THE PIRST OF JULY , 1847 , WiM * Published , HO . L ( PRICE SIXPENCE , ) OF THE PEOPLE'S LEGAL ADVISER . Tl The object of ibis monthly poblication , is perhaps suffi-« oienoiently indicated by its title ; it may be well , however , to i add add aVew words in explanafion . Tl That there aromany subjects of an exclusively lejjal « ehaieharacter , snd bearing peculiarly on the interests of the "iwurwurkmg classes—on them more than on the other classes « of siof society—is a truth that hardly requires its assertion ; land and it would , of course , be desirable that all these should 1 bet be brought together in a form , cheap , compendious , and iiattiateiligibla , for the benefit of those to whom they chiefly iTehrrehue . T Thlspm-DOSeitisproposedtoefiEectbymeansofaMagai zint cine to be published on the 1 st of every month . It is in . 1 temtended , in each number , to give some ACT OF PARLIA' . HE KENT , of which the provisions are not so generally ; ini known as they ought to be , with an analysis and explanatioi Hon , and such cafes as have been decided upon it in the Sn ] Superior Courts . This may , perhaps , be called the principal pal feature of the work . Otter pages will contain all the ret recent judgments and decisions on points of law conn -cted wi : with the interests and pursuits of Working men : Each m < month there will be a few pages devoted to an Essay on --soi-some legal question of general interest . Every Act of Pj Parliament will be noticed as it becomes a law—though --to-this notice will be little more than an abbreviated index , ¦¦ ea except with regard to the Acts relating to the class for wl which we principally write . Such space as remains after tfc the above are disposed of , will be occupied with lighter m matter ; retaining , however , the legal character of the < ook . It may , perhaps , he predicted without much doubt , tl that such a Magazine will , to the generality ot readers , be a a very dull affair , and that probably there may not be e sufficient purchased to pay the expense of publication . S Still the attempt will be made . Such a work if wanted ; £ it is frequently askedfor—thercis no other work tbat prof fesses to supply that want The following Index of the probable contents of the i first Xnnber , will parliap ^ exhibit tte scope and intention j more clearly : — Tie Joint Slock Companies'Act ActsPassed ' dtiruigthe Present ' Session . The lavs of Conspiracy . The TrUAof tie Mechanics . Cases in the Superior Courts . . Lord CampbeWs Lives of the Chancellors . Each . Number , as has been before stated , will contain ( one Act of Parliament , that Act will always be given in .:. full , and without any curtailment whatever . This may ' be objected to by some as an unnecessary waste of space . —bnt there is much to be said in favour of the course intended . The Joint Stock Companies'Act may appearto he one in which only men of wealth have any ic terest—but this is a mistaken notion , and there'are several reasons for tile selection , which will probably be recognised as ¦ - sufficient . There are many Acts of Parliament which might be rendered eminently conducive to the advancement and interests of the working classes , although they were passed with totally different objects—and this Act is ¦ -one of them ; But enough is written for the present purpose . And yet another word—in many respects theMagaiinemay be deficient , nay , there is no doubt about it Printers will -grow heavy andmake blunders—a border will be omitted —a subject of importance will appear in a corner and in a . -diminutive tvpe , hardly viable ; while a matter of no moment , thrown in , it may Be , lor naut vl !/ ettcr , mU shine out—large—spaced—and perhaps in . italics . These are accidents that cannot be avoided . We dont know that it will be so—but it may be so ; not only dinner and sleep—but life itself with us is hurried . Oursis . no "Book of Beauty . " And yetit may be honestly proaiised , that he who hu vs the Magazine for the purpose of instruction—and fairly reads it through aad over again , will recciv something more than bis money ' s worth . This avowal is made with ' very considerable confidence . This work will be entirely under the Editorship and control of Mr W . P . Bobeuis . Commnnications may be directed to him , at No- 3 , Essex Chambers , Essex-street , Manchester . 2 , Robert Street , Adelpbi , London , 10 th May , 1847 .

      AUXILIARY TO TBE NATIONAL LAND COMPANY . THE FOUNDER of the NATIONAL CO-OPERATIVE BENEFIT SOCIETY respectfully acquaints his brethren of the Land Company and his Brother Democrats in general , that his object in founding the Society was to aid and assist the National Land Company in its glorious efforts to emancipate the human race ; by pouring funds into its exchequer , through the means of theNATIONAL LAND and LABOUR BANK ; but the adoption of the PEOPLE'S BANK has proved a death-blow to the enrolment of the Society . AU enrolled societies since the passing of the New Friendly Societies' Act , being compelled to deposit their cash in the Bank of England , and thus furnish , the " sinews" to uphold a Standing Army , Police , Pensioners , & c , instead of aiding to regain the Land for the People , and fanasbing "Happy Homes for Honest Industry , "—the Founder believes his Brother Democrats will join with him in infinitely preferring the latter ; he _ bas , therefore , with the full consent and approbatiou ' of the Directors , resolved to issue the-Rules cnearolled , and although they , may lack that protection which the "Registrar ' s" signature is presumed to give , he flatters himself the following securities will be sufficient to inspire confidence in ' the bosom cf every Democrat , and gain for the project that support which will cause this Utile tributary stream ultimately to sweUinto ainUhry torrent , flowing freely into The Great Land &* er : — . , . „ . first , —Its sarnies will ha Banked with a duly Registered Company , through the National Land and Labour Sank .

Fourthly , —The Founder and General Secretary ( Mr SxAiiwoon ) has been for eighteen years past , and still continues , the popular servant of the people , in addition to which he has for several years past , and still is employed as Reporter to the Northern Star , and Collector of Monies , bv Mr Feabous O'Coskob , to whom he proudly refers for " Testimonials of character for honesty and integrity .

      The Charter, And No Surrender ' ! "' Tho...

      THE CHARTER , AND NO SURRENDER ' ! "' Those who dreamed that a principle based on truth could ever be de-troyed by . ' violence , or withered by neglect , must be undeceived by the fresh vigour with which the Charter has sprung upward from its long repose . ' . It has risen like a giant refreshed with rest , and the sordid capitalist who speculated on its death , and the' eager votary who condemned its quietude , are alike . disappointed , though with far different feelings . ' -There is a period in every prolonged public mbyerhent when a pause

      for thought is requisite ; there is one time for preparation—and another for action . Those leaders make a fatal error who mistake the . relative moment for each . Those soldiers fight the battle of the enemy , who are too eager in the camp , or too apathetic in the field . But it is the glorious privilege of the Charter , that it has never been wholly dormant;—in the period of its political quiescence , it has been sowing the seedsi of thought ! and maturing the fruit of experience . The public mind is far more prepared than it was some years ago to

      grapple with the chimeras of Monopol y ? it is purged of the rashness that led it into the snares of the wily ; it is armed withjthe fortitude that can baffle the ; strength of the unscrupulous . Out of- the alembic of violence and persecution it drew the treasure of a peaceful . movement , and the Land Plan stands there as the type of the pure principle ahd true spirit of the Charter . It . is the image of that happiness which the country would enjoy under a democratic government . It is a lesson , teaching through the prosperity of the few , what might be

      the lot of all—eitheras the landed freeholder or the independent mechanic , since the Land Plan must benefit equally the . new-created freeman , and the operative released from the . crushing burden of competitive labour . Yet it is merely a microcosm of the great world of Chartism ; and this is the answtr for those who thought , or think , the latter can be damaged by the Land Plan . It is but the great incentive held up to the eyes of the people ; however successful , it can but free , a tithe of the enslaved , who must still win the Charter , before they

      can emulate their brethren on the Land . Neither will it draw those away from the ranks of Chartism who once become its lucky allottees—since these , toof must recollect that a government is over theiri , empowered to enforce , and experienced to enact , those unequal laws which crush all independent industry , and nip the flower of' enterprise in the , bud ^ The Land Plan , we say , is ati answer to those who call the Charter but an abstract iheoiy . and ask "if it will give us bread ? " It is a lesson which it rests with the country to use . It is true , unpractical theorists

      have promised the big loaf ; the propounders of the Land Plan have given it to some—have shown that it is attainable / or all , when once the political monopolies that lock up the land and crush labour shall be swept away . ' Will the Charter give us bread ? We say to the . people—what is it gave the deer-park to the landlord , and the market to the speculator ? Political power I What is it gave the tithe and glebe land to the Church , —the heart ' s blood of yourchildren to the manufacturer , —and the produce of all nature to a few ? Political power ! What is it

      makes religion a mockery , ; honest toil a badge of inferiority , and titled lust , a passport to honour ? Political power ! And what is it but political power that can raise the people again from the degradation of slavery to the manhood of freedom ? That political power is embodied in . the Charter , — -and we challenge the world to produce a plan so sound for its obtainment . Not give the people bread ? Would they , we ask , make enactments that would starve themselves ; or would they not frame laws that would develope the undeniable resources of the country ? Not give us bread ? Would they take the crust out of their children ' s mouths in the shape

      of taxes , to pension the kept mistresses of royal dukes ; or support a vile class of monied monopolists , who draw their funded revenues out of ; the misery they hare legislated into existence ? Let those who have profited by raisrulefear the people ' s possessing power . Tell them " by your fruits ye -shall be known , " and ask them , could a system of government be worse ; more unchristian , more immoral , more , tyrannical than ourpresent . system ? It has murdered one million" of ' Irishmen ;—it is murdering the English mechanic ' ; it has demoralised the spirit of the people ; it has taken Woman from her children and her fireside—chained her like

      a beast of the field to the truck—locked her in the mill , or laid her prostrate beneath the feet of monied lust ; it has driven Man to the gin-shop , ; by making his home a hell ; it has taught him to steal , by denying him food ; it has crippled . his offspring by premature labour , and 1 schooled them in sin by inuring them to misery . Could the people do worse ? Which is the party that appears most trustworthy of power—those who , amid unparalleled suffering ; and possessed of a terrible mightthat , if organised , were sufficient to . trample every monopoly under

      foot , have still the Christian forbearance to tame down the ; angry feelings' in .

      ¦ , Priestcraft Versus Religion. ,; The ...

      ¦ , PRIESTCRAFT versus RELIGION . , ; The Lord Primate has been outdone . He asserted the famine was a visitation from God for the sins of" the People "—by which , we suppose , he comprehended all classes ) though unable to reconcile with God ' s justice why the innocent should suffer instead of the . guilty , seeing that the working classes alone are the sufferers , and that the rich and great . feel no famine . The astounding assertion o the ; prelate has been surpassed by that of the " Rev . " . J . 'Hocken , . superintendant of the . Cleckheatpri Circuit , in Yorkshire , who on the late Fastday stated from y the pulpit that "CHARTISM

      [ s the absorbing cause of all God ' s judgments being poured upon our highly-favoured country . " In the face of this blasphemous dictum , the Chartists of the locality and neighbourhood convened a public meet ' ing , and decided upon challenging the " rev . gentletle-( inan' ? to a public discussion at Hecfcmondwicke—a challenge which , we need not say , he has not dared to accept . The man who could hazard such an opinion must be either a fool or a knave . We are bound by Christian , charity to believe , the former , since it is impossible for any true disciple of

      Christ , who came to break the bonds of the poor , to see anything calculated to excite the wrath of God inthe principles of the Charter . It is a struggle of Man against Mammon—it is an attempt to rescue the living soul from the snares of the flesh . Before he preached that in his Fast-day sermon , he should have read his Bible , where it is said to the great and rich : — Behold . ' ye fast for strife and debate , and to smite with the fist of wickedness . - Wilt thou call this a fast and an acceptable day to the Lord ? '

      Is not this thefast that I have chosen : to loose the bands of Wickedness ,, to undo the heavy borders'and TO , LET . THE OPPRESSED O 0 FBEK , AND THAT TE BREAK EVERT TOKE ? And this it is that the Charter inculcates . Black must be the heart , or dark must be the brain , of him who sees irreligion in its principle or practice . . What is it that the " rev . " calumniator , wants ? Does be wish the people to remain factory-slaves or agricultural serfs , at six or seven shillings per week ? His Bible tells him to'" break every yoke . " Does he see Religion in the splendours of aCourt , the riot of an aristocracy , and the truculence of the usurer ?

      Are the cries of young children in the factories music to his ear ? Are these modern Wood-offerings io Moloch the acceptable homage to his God ? Does he say that the avenging angel swept over Ireland , as of old over the Assyrian camp , smiting the guilty , and sending one million souls to their last account ? No ! for he struck not the host of the spoiler ; the Gentile was spared , whilst Israel was destroyed . Does he see a crime in the bright cottages of O'Connorville ? More true religion is preached on those holy thresholds than from the tainted lips of fanatical hypocrisy . Man was born to live by the sweat of his brow . Dare he say that God intended him'to STARVE on it ? that God

      gave abundance , to " encourage waste ; and made the larger portion of mankind a hungry Tantalus , mocking him with the sight of plenty , that he does not share ? If God intended man to live by the sweat of his brow , why do riot the lazy drones of his class obey His mandate ? But no ! It suits them not—they wish to lire upon the toil of others , and therefore still they preach their accursed doctrine"God made you to starve and suffer , and us to

      enjoy the fruits of your toil . " Let him behold the fruits of his religion in Manchester and the manufacturing North . Let him stand in the streets among the perishing thousands , and , pointing to the palaces around him , tell them if he dare— "God meant it thus !'' We know he cannot ; but then , how dare he , safe in his pulpit , cloak himself under the shadow of God , and abuse the holy name of his Creator , to screen iniquity from the hands of justice ? '

      Let him look at the prison and the Bastile—see men , whom hunger taught to steal , punished for having learned a lesson from their tyrants , and say : God meant it thus ! Let him go from the table ofthe usurer , taste the Poor-Law soup , and say , —God meant it thus I Let him see the big tears on the hollow cheek of the worn-out pauper , while his poor wife . is torn away from him at . the gate of the Union , and though he preaches accursed be those who part man and wife , let him then say , God meant it thus ! ,

      This hypocritical preacher is the true priest of Mammon : it issuchas he who bring the name of Religion ' > to discredit , and by THEIR culpable infidelity , estrange the soul of man fiora his Creator . Then . th ' cy dare go forth to the world and say , "Chartism is infidelity ! " . Because .-. it wishes to rescue Religion from Priestcraft , to free the name of God from the slander of the bigot , and , thinks creation was intended as-a BLESSING and not as a CURSE unto mankind . We believe the Chartists to be a truly , religious body of men , and we also beHeye- -that the Rev . Mr Hocken is an unfair

      specimen of the great body of Dissenters in this country . We think far better of them than lie would make us believe ; he is evidently , one of the black sheep of the flock , and we trust , for their own sakes , they will not follow his guidance . Indeed ; their interest plainly leads them towards us , since we are the only party in the country , besides themselves , ' who advocate an entire separation of Church and State . This , Mr Hocken , no doubt , does ;—he , no doubt , wishes to curtail the splendour of the State Church ,

      > 5 o doubt he disapproves ot its monopolising ten millions per annum . But why does he endeavour ' to uphold all other monopolies ? . Would it be unchristian to suppose that Mr Hocken only hates , the State Church monopoly because , he has no share in these ten millions ? We may suppose this of the man who has spoken thus ; and . we caution those of his . own religious persuasion , gainst him , since he can ha no honest advocate of RELIGIOUS LIBERTY , whoisanuphoMci ; of POLITICAL .

      It Is Evident That The Session Is Drawin...

      It is evident that the session is drawing to an end . The usual preliminary " slaughter of the innocents" has commenced already . Notices of motion , and bills that have encumbersd the business paper for nearly the whole of the session , are either formally withdrawn , or got rid of by a sidewind ,

      such as " a count out , " and similar parliamentary expedients for escaping disagreeable er inconvenient jobs . Th » se same " counts out" have occurred rather too frequently of late , if the business before the Legislature , and the perilous position of the country , be taken into consideration . Last week there were two ; and this week , ' on Tiesday , the sudden termj . nation of the sitting at the very moment when almost important and universally interesting debate waste have been commenced , was equivalent to a ' count out . " This laxity in the manner of conducting

      public business at so critical a period is most reprehensible in itself , but is , we suspect , unavoidable with our present Ministry . It is by no means an old one so far as time is concerned , yet , in fact , it is ^ Turnout , infirm , and decrepid : its measures are thoroughly understood , and their worthless , hollow , and insufficient , character perfectly appreciated . Nobody , in fact , takes the slightest interest in them , because they are felt to be the productions of a Ministry which is itself a negation—a mere temporary occupant of power , which must be kicked out the moment that events ripen for real action .

      Even the leading members of the Cabinet , as well as their under strappers , seem to have lost what little heart and earnestness in their work they ever possessed . They feel and act as though they were already a doomed party , at feast in the present Parliament , and whatever of hope they may possess centres entirely on the chances of the coming general election . As a specimen of this official devil-may-care sort of feeling , we may , mention one fact . On Thursday week , whilst oh our way to the House of Commons , about seven o ' clock in the evening , we met returning from a ride in the Parks Sir G . Grey and a lady , and behind them Lord John Russell and Lord

      Sandon , apparently , taking it very , coolly and com . fortably . ' r The ' comparison involuntarily suggested itself between the present and the late Premier and Home-Secretary . Peel and Graham were never seen gallivanting in that fashion , when business was to be done . A motion of a most important character was under discussion when we entered the House , there were but two members of the Ministry on the Treasury Bench , and altogether a House of some thirty Members . The question was one which it might have been expected

      would , m this pre-eminently commercial and manufacturing country , have excited deep interestnamely , the means by which the cultivation of cotton in India might be extended and improved . Mr Bright , in a speech less vulgar in manner and arrogant in tone than is usual with that delectable specimen of the Mill-lords , moved for a select committee of inquiry into the subject , which Sir J .

      Hobhouse said the Government were willing to- grant ; but before the motion was put from the chair the House was counted out , on the motion of Dillon Browne , a gentleman who has lately somewhat distinguished himself in this particular line , and who , , -n our , opinion , if he has neither inclination nor a bility to attend to public business , ; ought not to prevent others : from doing so , in so wanton and causeless a manner . " But the real error rested with

      our dilletanti Ministers . They ought to have Seen that a sufficient number of Members were present to make a House , and to have provided for the due transaction of business . One effect of this obvious decay and premature old age of the present Cabinet has been , to give currency to rumours of a coalition between Peel and Russell ; or , at all events , some of the lieutenants of the former statesman . We do not give the slightest credence to them . Sir R . Peel will not return to office unless upon something like a very urgent

      demand from , the whole country , and if he takes place under such circumstances , he is not the man to be hampered with an incongruous " open-question " Cabinet . One mind and principle will pervade every department of his Administration , and his associates will , as in the case of his . last Cabinet , be selected on account of their general agreement with him , and their administrative abilities for carrying out his general ideas in their respective departments . In such a Cabinet-Russell could find no place , and we do not see many of his subordinate colleagues who would beat all up to Peel ' s standard of a man

      of business . Oh the other hand , it is scarcely likely that young and promising men like Lords Dalhousie or Lincoln ; Mr Sidney Herbert , Mr Cardwell , and others of the late Ministry , will consent to risk their fate with what is evidently a doomed and incapable party , and with an inefficient leader . The Election ; and the course of events , must determine who are to be our future rulers . The pear is not yet ripe for Peel ' s plucking just yet ; but , if we mistake not , the period is not far distant when natural calamities , conjoined with financial and administrative blundering , will produce a unanimous demand for his resumption of the reins of power .

      The Business Transacted This Week Has Be...

      The business transacted this week has been multifarious , and generally of a discursive character ; its termination reminding one more of the passages in old houses which lead to " nowhere , " than anything else . On Monday , a monetary debate took place on the Chancellor of the Exchequer ' s statement , as to the intentions of the Government with reference to the present pressure . These were briefly to raise the rate of interest upon Exchequer Bills , and to allow a discount of five per cent , upon instalments of the £ 8 , 000 , 000 Irish Loan , paid in

      advance . By these ' means Sir C . Wood expects to raise ' the value of Exchequer Bills , which have been selling at a discount ; and to preclude the necessity of going to the Bank of England for gold which it cannot spare , by inducing the capitalists to come forward with advances ; for the sake of the extra 5 per cent . This is merely another of those desperate Stop-gap expedients , iu which Whig financiers are so fertile , but it leaves the great question exactly where it was . The problem to be solved is this : Great Britain possesses labour and machinery

      sufficient to create constantly an enormous amount of wealth , by which we mean all those , articles of consumption necessary for the physical and mental wellbeing of the whole community , and generally included under the category of food , clothing , shelter , and education . But with . this superabundance of means for producing the real wealth , it finds itself suddenly arrested in its operations by the want of the representative of that reality . Men and

      machines , < w ho shoulrlbe employed in executing orders for home and foreign markets , are thrown idle ; trade is at a standstill ; confidence is destroyed ; credit is suspended . The wheels of society almost cease to revolve , solely because , though wq have with the exception of food , which is scavce this year , an abundance of the raw material , and of industry to work it up into articles of consumption , we have not yet found out a representative medium ( of exchange which . % \\ kfjft Pace vrivh our

      produc-I five powers and the wants of society * ' . The problem j we admit , has been fennd difficult . tf solution b y our [ legislators heretofore , and , ' looking U * the debate of Monday night , it does not seem much advanced to . wards a satisfactory answer ; bnt we can warcely imagine that ignorance , prejudice , or interest , will be long suffered to prevent the settlement of this most vital and Radical question . In fact it , more than any other , lies at the very foundation of the existing social structure . It is clear that the present monetary system does not adequately perform the duties it ought to do ; ' t is equally clear that it throws undue and enormous power and riches into the bands of the money-dealers , and , by a thousand secret and unsuspected channels , drains the wealth

      of the country from Labour , into the coffers of the capitalist . Until this monster evil be put an end to , it will be utterly impossible for an equitable and beneficial distribution of wealth to take place , or to put trade upon a sound and satisfactory foundation . The talk upon the subject was to have been resumed en Tuesday , but the Marquis of Granby , who should have opened it , was not present when the order was called , and , much to the amazement of the House .

      and to those members who had postponed their motions in order tbat this question might he brought on , the Speaker adjourned the House at six o ' clock . It was , we dare say , looked upon as a sort of Godsend by the Treasury Bench , —anything is welcome which staves off work and a day of reckoning . Meanwhile , matters in the City continue as gloomy as eyer . The manufacturing districts are rapidly approaching the same state of things which , ia 1842 , produced a wide-spread insurrection ; and , altogether , our future prospects are of the most , gloomy description .

      Closely Akin To The Preceding Subject Wa...

      Closely akin to the preceding subject was that of the quantity of food really in . the country , which was mooted in the House of Lords by Earl Hard * wicke on Tuesday night .. If his statements approach correctness , it is evident that we are as yet only at the beginning of our troubles . From all that can be gleaned in the present imperfect state of agricultural statistics , it is to be feared that there is not enough wheat in the country to maintain us until the next harvest comes in ; while , at the same

      time , such is the scarcity abroad that continental buyers are in our markets purchasing and sending off the very food , of which we have an insufficient supply . Unless this can be replaced by fresh importations , we are in a fair way of knowing practically what the meaning of the word Famine is' ia England . Already , as a premonitory symptom of its approach , we have wheat higher thai it has . been for the last thirty years , and bread at one shilling the quartern loaf !

      The Peers Grow Frightened At Last In The...

      The Peers grow frightened at last in their task of mutilating the Irish Poor Law ; and though Stanley , with that recklessness and keen appetite for mischief which characterises him , was as ready to have carried the Bentinck clause as the other amendments ( 1 ) which their lordships have agreed to , some of them , more discreet , did not like carrying . the game so far as to make the Whigs give up ,

      and be themselves saddled with the responsibilities of office in these ticklish times , and under such sir * cutnstances . But they have done enough . As Aferewfto says— - "The wound is not so deep as a well , nor so wide as a church door ; but it will do . " The Irish Poor Law is effectually rendered nugatory . It is not worth the paper on which it is printed , and with it has vanished the last shadow of efficiency in the Whig nostrum for Ireland .

      Another Measure Which Was Urgently Neede...

      Another measure which was urgently needed—the Health of Towns' Bill—has been dealt with after the approved recipe of this most precious Cabinet for getting out of hard work and inconvenient opposition . It is to be cut into two or three parts and materially altered in its machinery . The country corporate towns are to' be first meddled with . London is to be separately assaulted by the sanitary

      Reformer . The citadels of filth are too securely entrenched , the upholders of nuisances too powerful , it appears , for the weak prowess of Whig statesmen to encounter collectively . We confess to a suspicion that the whole matter will ultimately be found among the " good intentions " with which a certain place , not to be named to ears polite , is proverbially said to be paved ; and to which said pavement Lord J . Russell and bis colleagues must have made considerable additions .

      Lord J. Manners Called Attention On Wedn...

      Lord J . Manners called attention on Wednesday , to a practical grievance of considerable extent . The law . of Mortmain was , no doubt , in its origin , a most useful and necessary' measure . Bnt it seems equally indisputable that , in the lapse of time , and with the changed circumstances of society , it is now in many cases the . cause of much loss , inconvenience , and injustice . It confounds the innocent with the guilty ; and in the attempt to prevent abuses , prevents really good objects from being carried out . It is high time that

      the obstructions which the law now places inthe way of publicly-beneficial bequests should be removed , and the law itself adapted to the existing condition and requirements of the '• community . Since the . matter was first brought forward by his Lordship it has evidently made an advance in pnblic favour , and time is all that is necessary to produce such a strange conviction that the mere »» inertia of those whose nature it is to " stand in the old ways , " will be overcome ; while , at the same time , all probable abuses of such an alteration of the law will be as far as possible guarded against .
