 stood there on a letter footing than many mem- 

 bers of that House, having been returned, free 

 of expense, by 12,000 freemen!!! He therefore 

 thought it right to represent the real state of the 

 affair! If the House was determined to remedy 

 our i!i tresses, th y should insist on a reduction of 

 taxation, beginning at the top, and not stop till 

 they reached the bottom ; t icy should begin w th. 

 the army and navy estimates !" On one of the days 

 when the general distress question was agitated, 

 Aldermmi Waithman said, in allusion to (he at- 

 tempts to cough him down, " that it reflected 

 little honour on sprigs of nobility and young 

 g-ntlemen who had received a university edu- 

 cation, to attempt to put down a plain man who 

 was doing what he conceived to be his duty; it 

 was true he knew little, and what he did know 

 was acquired during hours which were devoted 

 by others to cards and the bottle!''

 control of Chancery amounts nowto.40,000,OftO!'' 

 " Ti.ere is " said his Lordship* " in the Court 

 of Chancery a large fund, which 1 cannot describe 

 better than by liking it to tbe unclaimed dividends 

 in the Bank; it had its origin wore than 100 

 years ago, and it now furnishes an income of 

 .50,000 or .60,000 a year."
