      BSADF 0 HD . — Crurl TaKATME . vx op Pi . VPERs .-Oa passine the Bradford Bastile , on Thursday week , noticed a young be&Hby looking woman , waslxing the frout doorway , on her bended knees ; on hearing a rattle of chains , we begun to look round to ascertain the cause , when , to our surprise , we espied a strong chain , which passed from one leg to the other of the young woman , fastened at ea « h end with a large padlock . We were informed , on inquiring the reason , that she had absented herself without leave . Oh , happy England } the admiration ot the world , and the envy of surroondine nations !

      HTTDDEESF 1 ELD , —Th e new election for & Board of Guardians is just at hand ; another struggle i 3 to be made to elect such persons as will if possible , give a death blow to the accursed law , and place the management of the poor in such hands as ran sympathise with a fellow-creature in distress . We understand that a contest will take place in most of the townships ; the people therefore will have an opportunity to record their votes against the Three Devil Kings' law ; if they do their work well , in all probability , before long , each township will have to manage its own affairs .

      Axti-Coe-n Law Hole aitd Corkeb Meeting — The Operative Anti-Corn Law Association of th ' a town is trying to -at up another "flare up , " but the obstacle which stands in the way is , " Will the Chartists oppose ns 1 " One of these worthies declared that they should not , " for to stop them we must have it where they can be kept out . " So it was proposed to have , not a public meeting to get up petitions , but a tea party " , and invite some great men ; and there pass the petition and get it sign * d . It was asreed to , and in the course of a short time , we msy expect to see a snug " flare-up" to keep the Chartists away , knowing as they do , that the Chartists have declared to meet any party in public . meeUDg , on any public question , to discuss the merits of such , no opportunity will be given them ; but the oid system of hole and corner meetings will be its end .

      Hvddeh ? fikl » Bastile . —There was a thin attendance of Guardians on Tuesday , but & very full attendance of applicants , treiobliug to meet tbe leeches , who , gorged with the blood of the poor , are always ready arrogantly to perform the par ; oi " Buffgthe beggar . " After a tedious and irksome duty of examining into the numerous cases ol the applicants' ( during which Washington , the relieving officer , refused to pay what the Guardiaus ordered , ) Mr . Batley , in the absence of the Chairman , read a letter from the Poor Law Commissioners , in reply to that ordered to be seat , containing the resolution passed for dissolving the UnioD , ou that day fortnight ; which said letter to the Commissioners also contained the v » tes on the question . The

      Commissioners letter stated that , as the resolution was so contrary to the spirit of the New Poor Law , they could no ; assent to the dissolution . Mr . Buil Briggs moved that as there was only a female to manage the poor in Konley Workhouse , that four men be removed from ihere to Golcar , and that four females should be exchanged from Golcar to Honley . ilr . Pitkethly expressed his surprise that any such proposal should be made , because he considered the Governess of the Honley W orkhouse as talented a woman as that of the Huddersfield Workhouse . He opposed the principle , because every town ought io be as capable as another of managing » heir own poor ; and moved , as an amendment , that no exchange should be made until the debt due by the town .-hip of Golcar be paid to the trea&urtr of tho Union . . The amendment was lost .

      The following notice of Mr . Pi : kethly was next read by tbe Cierk , viz ., y Tha : on Friday next , he intended u > move thai this Board do petition both Houses of Parliament against Lord John Russell ' s proposed Bill for the continuance of the Poor Law tJomaiissioners , and that the petitions be forwarded for presentation as early as possible . " Alter some discussion , a motion for doing away with Mr . Pnkethly ' s notice was carried . ilr . Pitkethly then gave the iblJowing nonce , that on Friday , the 12 ih inst ., he would move " That the bastardy accounts be exhibited at this board on that day , and also" For a return of the numbers , ages , sexes , and condition of the inmates of the several workhouses in the Union , with the average cost of each per head per week , also of the health , habits , and cleanliness , and ( if any ) what diseases exist amongst them .

      FiXO . vT . —On Moadaytwo young lads , but old thieves , earned George " Buckley aim David Pollard , were charged before the magistrates with having stolen a till" and a quantity of copper coin , from a shop at the top of Richmond-street , the property or ' Mr . John Turner . The lads had twice before attempted to obtain tbe contents of the till in question , and on Sunday evening , while the back door of the house Tra 3 ielt temporarily open , they contrived to obtain acces ? to the shop , and being overheard , were stlicd witii tbe property in their possession . They were ccmminea for trial .

      Race vob Mill Hill . —A seat in the Mu ^ . cipal Conncil of ihis Borough , in Mill Hill Ward , having become va-.-a . ut by a shufSo of the pea by the " thimbieriggers , " who now pretend to govern this unfoituLaie town , a imirt rxce for the honour of filling th-j vacancy took pla < v . ou Monday . The cbmpecirors were Mr . J . G . Uppleby—colour Hue with an ol < T corporation cap ; and Mr . R . J . Richardson , in harlequin jacket , and yellow cap . The simple was desperate ; the betting at starting beiug rather in favour of k > harkquin . " Blue , however , e-przjig off with the lead , at nine o ' clock in the mornhifcj , was never headed , ( though the other tritU for a " cro ^? , ") dnd won cleverly by twenty-one lcugtas , at four o clock in tne afternoon .

      Jcvkkilb Thieves . —On Monday , three young lads , liame-d Samuel Batty , of York-street , Henry Cowley . aBd James Cowley , of Madras-street , were charged wirh having , on Saturday night , stolen ft purse and 12 s . from the pocket of a young female . There nos being sufficient evidence to go to a jury , the trio , who are constant visitors to the gaol , were sent as repnted thieves to Wakefield for three months .

      DUMFSXES . —As Old Jack Tab akd xhb Ruaal Police . —On Saturday last , a case was tried by Sheriff Trotter , of Dumfries , with so much secresy that few knew of it . The case was this : — A . u old sailor , who had served royalty for about twenty years , and had got his leg so shattered in % batserv . ee , as now to be of little ueo to him , called , with hi 3 wife , on the policeman at Tnornhill , to seek a liule rehef to help them on their way home , because , although he had encountered every danger , and endured every toil for nearly twenty long years , he had go ; no pension , as he had not served the whole time hi the service ; but , whether the policeman had " hardened his heart" against the suffering poor , as one of our picus clergyman lately advised , or , that he bore malice w sailors , because some of them had

      Untitled Article

      distinguished themselves byhelpine the farmers to smash the " rurak" at our last Candlemas fair , or , that he was actuated by the dictates of his own heart , I cannot say , but he ferociously refused to give poor Jack a stiver , althongh he had a passport and certificates of the beat character . Jack remonstrated , and stoutly , like abrave old British sailor , who felt indignant at being forced to travel in his own native land , with » passport like a Tagabond , who was ashamed to beg and would hare got the gaol if ho had , and who with his poor wife had nothing to eat , and no -where to lay his head save the cold ground , and nothing to cover them but the frosty eky , —and what did the oold-blooded rascal of a policeman do ! Why , he struck the poor old

      tar to the etfusion of hia blood and pushed him out of his house—when , after , giving a broadside of oaths , he proceeded on bis solitary way ; but the worthy , provoked by these harmless oaths , andknowing that hia friends the gentry and clergy would protect , praise , and reward him , pursued old Jack aud overtook him ( for by this time he had quietly proceeded forty yards ) and seized him by the collar without a warrant , and obviously without any lawful cause or right whatever . Old Jack resisted like an old heart of oak , blows were given on both sides , a struggle ensued and both fell ; a lick-spittle of a fellow , ran to the aid , not of the poor old man , but to that of the " rural . " By this time a small crowd had collected , and a little boy , twelve years

      of age , having hissed , the brave rural" seized him , and dashed him to the ground , an act which out worthy Sheriff highly commended . At seeing these tilings , a young nailer , named Renwick , whose face beams with benevolence and intellect—who is a noble son of Winlaton , the place of the bold and the free , and who will long be remembered in this district , and among his brother tradesmen . « Durred to the rescue ; but in vain , for the " rural" and his friend secured them both . On the evidence of these fellows and some others , the substance of which I have given , the noble-hearted nailer was sentenced to forty , and poor old Jaok to fifty , days' imprisonment in our horrid gaol . Such iB the sympathy , kindness , and reward that the gentry shew to those who spend and risk their lives in defending—aye ,

      in defending what 1 the estates which formerly belonged to the people , bnt which now belong all to them ; and of which , when life ' s weary struggle is over , being worn » ut in their service , the poor man can hardly get as much as will be his grave . I shall never forget when poor old Jack bared and heid « p his lacerated leg , to move the compassion of the Judge ; but it was in vain : he might as well have tried to move the feelingB of a tiger ; for though the clergy and the gentry may care for the rich , they care not a fig for the poor , who are either lacerated or murdered in their service . Old Jack feels this now , and he iwears if ever he handles a cutlass again , it shall be for liberty and the Yankees ! Let ii 3 bide onr . time ; and we may yet live to reward old Jack and noble Renwick , or re ¦ them . — Correspondent .

      A Peer at a Police Office . —There is nothing but revolutions in this world . It ia but a few days since Lord Cardigan was brought to trial in the House of Lords for shooting at one H&rvey Tuckett ; &dA yesterday we had the son and nepkew of Baron Foster paratfed at College-street police-office for horsewhipping a Peer of the realm , -who is commonly called Viscount Massareen . The assiult occurred upon Tuesday , in Xassau-street , vrheu Mr . Charles and Mr . Arthur Foster meeting Lord Massareen , asked him "if he knew them ? " t . which he replied ia the negative . They were , however , not to bb put off in this way ; so one of them pulling out a whip commenced flagellating the Peer across his noble shoulders , and when this ceremony was concluded , the operator and his

      companion proffered his chastened Lordship tbeir cards , ¦ which he in a dignified manner declined . With aching shuuldtrshe proceeded to College-street police-office , and purchased a summons , as a cataplasm for his wounded dignity . To this legal challenge the Fosters aypemKl , and eonfronted the haughty and horsowhipped Massareen . The business commenced by Mr . Hitchcock , the Magistrate , very improperly proposing a private investigation , -which was objected to by that hiyhly respectable Barrister , Mr . J . A . Curran , who insisted that the inquirj should be a public one . ThO examination then j . roct « ded , and Jlr . Curran eliciteu from Lord Massareen that he was jiofc only a poet , but tbs author of a work entitled , " The Sketch of L « ve , " ¦ which we understand—for Mr . Hitchcock would not

      allow it to be read—reflected with much severity upon Baron Foster . Lord Massareen intimated that he only desired his assailants should be bound over to keep the peace , and they were accordingly held to bail , that they should not , under a penalty of two hundred pounds , horsewhip bis Lordship for a twelveiuunib . Here is another case which the Thunderer of Printing-house-{¦ quaro may cite to prove " that there is ono law for the rich and another for the poor . " We leave out ef sight the provocation which Lord Masaaretn may have given the Foster family , and which tempted them to commit a breach of the law by horsewhipping him in the public street It may have been very grievouB or friv-ilous—is may hava alluded to what Professor Xapicr would call " tho clouded m'Tiling of a llliafcptiil . lile , " or to some triflins eccentricity of character

      only calculated to excite a smile , but , be the provocation what it may , with that we have nothing to do , having marely to deal with the judicial conduct of the police justice . Bad txuiipie is contagious . Lord Denman , it will be remembered , the other day was the advocate Cgr compounding a criminal charge against the Earl of Waldegrave , who had nearly murdered a police constable , aad the Dublin Magistrate , treading in tbe steps of the Lord Chief Justice , proposes a private investigation of a case in which a Peer und the son as . ii nephew of a Jui !» e are the parties engaged . Had a hard-working mechanic , or even an industrious shopieeptr , been bruUjht befora this Justice Hitchcock upon a similar charge v .-ould he have proposed a private investigation , and allowed the ofience to be compounded ? of a verity we live in an ago of impartial juiiic . —The Wtrld Dublin ) .

      Legal Fakce tjie Second . —There has been a ptndant to the Cardigan mockery of justice at the Old Hailr-y , in the trial of his Lordship ' s second , Captain Douglas . The Judje upon whom devolved the first pir t in the farce , had to wonder that there was no counsel for the prosecution , to explain that thtro was no evidence thut Harvey Tuckett was Harvey ( Jarnett Piiipvs Tuckf . t , or ihut Captain Douglas was Captain Di-jg . ai He sa . d that everybody knew that Captain Tucktt : had been fired at . and wounded by , Lord Cardigan , on Wimbledon Common , but that , according to the rules of law , and the evidence produced , no one coui i legally know it . There is such a thing as getting : ;;> a case for trial , and also there is t ^ uch a thing as not g-.- ' . nng up a case for trial , or rather getting it up for an ucquhial by tJ : o uon-produciinn of evidence . This has

      b . en done by . the attorney employed by Government ou th » . pres-. nt occasion , to avoid the scandal of a conviction of Captain Duudas in a criminal court , after the at-quittil of his principal in the highest tribunal in tbe r a ' . m . The sauce for the goose has been made sauce for the gentler . Ti . at there has been equal injustice in the two CJSefl canuut be deaieu ; but hjw disgraceful it is , for any reason or object whatever , that ths persons ts ' . ensibly employed on tha part of the public for the furtherance of justice , should rtaily have been engaged in producing so imperfect a case as to elude it There c . innot now 6 s a doub ; that tiie sama contrivance was employ , d to procure the acquittal of Lord Cardigan , which appears so cukeiiiy in that of Captain Douglas . With a public prosecutor , tricks of this sort , making a mockery of justice , would be impossiole . —Examiner .

      Mr . E . J .

      NISI PRIUS COUKT Wednesday , March 10 . ( Before Mr . Justice Maule . J BECKETT AND OTHERS V . WILSON . Mr . Cresswell and the Hon . J . S . Wortlei appeared for the plaintiffs ; Mr . StaRKEY and Mr . Addison for the defendants . This was an action of assumpsit te recover £ 2 , 277 for money advanced , commWwn , and on acceount stated . The defendant pleaded first that he did not promise ; and secondly , a set-off . Mr . Cresswell stated the facts to the Jury . Messrs . Beckett , Blayds , and Co ., the plaintiffs in this case , are bankers in Leeds , and they sought to obtain from the defendant a considerable sum of money , which , undoubtedly , they had advanced to the defendant and others . Mr . Wilson did not deny that he was a party instrumental in obtaining the money , bat be stated that he never entered into any engagement to

      repay it , and that it was not advanced on his creditin 1834 , the defendant with several other gentlemen obtained an Act of Parliament for repairing and maintaining a road called the Wortley and Stanningley Road . Under this act the trustees were empowered to raise money by mortgage on the tolls , ana in rwrlou 3 other ways . If a man advanced his money on mortgage of the tools , he knew the security he was taking , ami if it was worth nothing , he had only to blame his own folly . He believed the trust sis had induced persons to advance money on such insufficient security , and besides a number of mortgages , it was found essential for the interests of the trust , that the trustees should open a banker ' s account . The defendant , Mr . Wilson , was appointed treasurer , and he drew on . the bankets for the purposes of tbe roa < l . After the act was passed , they appointed Mr . Upton their clerk , and he drew on MtBsra . Bectett and Co ., wheneve * they wanted money . The cheques were in thisform— " On demand ,

      pay ; or bearer , on account of the Wortley and Sianningley Boad . " In the year 1838 , another act was obtained giving larger powers , and for making additional branches to the roads , and after this act was passed , viz ., in January , 1839 , this order was made by the trustees in favour of their surveyor— " That the clerk give a cheque to the surveyor of £ 8 weekly , and Messrs . , are appointed a committee for auditing these accounts . " These cheques were to be drawn on the bankers . Messrs . Beckett and Co . did not like this additional order of £ 8 per week , and accordingly they sent the following note to Messrs . Upton and Clapham , clerks to tho trustees of Wortley and StanningLey Road ;— " Dr . to Messrs . Beckett & Co ., £ 2 , 150 10 s . Od . Sir—Wo request you willlay before the Coniniissiuners

      of tho above road the amount of debt due to us , and inform them it will not be agreeable to us that the account should so continue , unless decisive steps are taken for its liquidation , of which we btg to be informed . " On this , the trustees agreed to the following resolution—" Ordered that the clerk wait on Messrs . Beckett and Blayds , stating that the trustees intend to make a continuation of Water-lane , and request thry Will continno to pay £ 8 per week to the surveyor for th « purpose of keeping the road in repair . ' And now they said the money was advanced on security of the tolls , and having had the pleasure of rivalling M'Adam in the making of roads , they were much obliged to the bankers for advancing them the money to < lc ; it , but that they would not repay one farthing of it . The Learned Counsel contended the trustees were personally responsible , and referred to the case of Barret v . Ayre , reported in the tenth volume of

      Binglism ' s Reports , p . 283 , in which tae question was precisely similar , and the Learned Chief Justice cf the Common Pleas left it for the Jury to determine whether the money was advanced on the credit of the trustees , or not . It might be said the trustees Were protected by a clause in the General Turnpike Act ; this would undoubtedly have been the case had they mortgaged the tolls as provided in that statute , but Messrs . Beckett and Co . had no such mortgage , and therefore he submitted the trustees were personally liable . It might be asked why they had selected Ms . Wilson as defendant ? The fact was , he was wealthy , and he had taken an active part in the affairs of the ttust ; if he hud others joined with him in the trust , he would have to look to them for their proportion of the debt . It now amounted to £ 2 , 277 , exclusive « f interest for a short period , which was , perhaps , not very material , and that w ; is the sum sought to be recovered .

      Several admissions agreed to be made by the parties were made . Mr . Clapham , one of the clerks to the trustees , was then examined in support of the circumstances stated by the Learned Counsel in his opening . Mr . Starkie addressed the Jury for the defendant . Ho said it would be a great hardship on Mr . Wilson if he had to pay the whole of this large balance himself , whilst he was merely acting as one of the trustees of tha road , deriving no benefit whatever from its funds . The Jury would find the tolls had fallen greatly in value of late years , and it was not until the toliu had become a failing concern that the bankers

      had niado any demand of the money . It was difficult to say how Mr . Wilson could be made liable—he had not pledged his own personal responsibility—he had only acted as treasurer protempore , and it was , therefore , a harsh proceeding as against him . The Leainea Counsel then contended that the credit was given on security of the tolls , urging , in support of this view , that the heading of the pass-book was to the treasurer of the Wortley a * d Stanningley Road , and that the general account , audited on the 17 th March , 1810 , was signed by Mr . Blayds , as treasurer . On this ground he argued that if an action was maintainable , it was by the treasurer against Mr . Wilson .

      The Learned Judge briefly summed up , and the Jury retired . After a shert absence , they returned a verdict for the plaintiffs—damages £ 2 , 277 143 . 10 d .

      NVXLOK V . TTAS . Mr . Wor tley appeared for the plaintiff ; Mr . Wilkins for the defendant This was an action brought to recover damages for an assault Tbe plaintiff is a mason in the neighbourhood ol Halifax ; the defendant is a maltster at that place . The assault arose out of a dispute whichtook place > t a public-house . In stating the case Mr . Wortley expressed his hope that the time of the Court would not be occupied with euch a case , and suggested a reference , which TO acceded to by Mr . Wilkins ; and Mr . Stansfleld , the barrister , was appointed arbitrator .

      KING AND ANOTHER » . HODGSON . Mr . Knowxes and Mr . Baines were for the plaintiffs ; Mr . Cresswell was for the defendant Ine plaintiffs are the assignees of a bankrupt named Elaworth , who carried on business as a worsted manufacturer at Bradford , and the action was brought to recover from the defendant , a relation of his , £ 95 , for money lent . The jury returned a -wrdict for the defendant . ' ' ' a * . After hearing the above , and other minor oaaes , tae Court rose at half-past six o ' clock .
