— 12. The Quarter Sessions determined 
that a county rate for £8,000I., ordered to 
be levied in January, at a time when 
13,5001. was in the hand of the county 
treasurer, should be quashed. Never- 
theless it appeared that the treasurer, J. B. 
Mainwaring, had made a forced collection 
in several parishes; and he had, in the 
intermediate time, absconded to France 
with 24,0001, of the county’s money. This 
Mainwaring was also chairman of one of 
the police-offices, and formerly the minis- 
terial candidate for Middlesex, opposed to 
Sir Francis Burdett. 
— 16. A motion of implied censure on 
the conduct of Alderman Waithman at 
Knightsbridge, made by Alderman Brown 
in the Common Council, was unanimously 
rejected, after several eloquent tributes 
to the public services of Alderman W. 
— 17. At the king’s levee this day up- 
wards of 1300 persons attended, being the 
most numerous ever remembered. 
—— Sir Alexander Boswell, author of 
some libels in a Scotch party paper called 
the “ Sentinel,” on Mr. Robert Stuart, 
was mortally wounded in a duel. 
— 20. An action for several false and 
scandalous libels against Alderman Waith- 
man, published in a party paper called the 
John Bull,” was tried at Guildhall, and, 
no justification being attempted, a verdict 
of 500/, damages was given in favour of 
Alderman Waithman. 
— 24, Sir Francis Burdett, after one 
of the most eloquent speeches and 
most ably argued cases ever heard in Par- 
liament, moyed, that an address should be 
presented to the king, requesting the re- 
mission of the remainder of Mr. Hunt’s sen- 
tence. Afterspeechesfrom Messrs.Dicken- 
son, Peele, Mackintosh, Wynne, and Bux- 
ton, the house divided, 84 for the motion, 
against it 223. Perhaps the case of no 
individual ever excited a more universal 
synipathy than that of Mr. Hunt, who has 
been sentenced to two years and a half 
imprisonment, and other penalties, for 
attending a meeting of petitioners, which, 
owing to some features, not under the 
control of Mr. Hunt, the law has construed 
as illegal; but, to render such features 
palpably illegal, certain acts of Parlia- 
ment have subsequently been passed! Sir 
F. Burdett’s motion was opposed on the 
ground that it had no precedent since the 
revolution; but has there been any prece- 
dent of such a sentence for such an act 
since the revolution? 
— 25. Lord Jolin Russel moved a de- 
claration in favour of Parliamentary Re- 
form, which was lost by 369 to 164, a 
strength of minority which however leads 
to hope for ultimate success,

Ata public meeting lately held of the 
parishioners of Tottenham High Cross, it

notice to the tithe-collector of the parish

might be taken in kind. About 70 prin- 
cipal landowners signed this notice.
