senting himself from Parliament. He said he was of great 
service to Ireland, and could do herno good in Parliament, 
as it was now constituted. The week’s rent was an- 
nounced to be 342/. 3s. 84d. 
Coleraine.—The election of Dr. Boyd as the member 
for this place has caused great rejoicings among the Pres- 
byterians. For a considerable time past, much excite- 
ment had prevailed regarding the result, not from political 
reasons, for both candidates were Conservatives, but in 
consequence of Dr. Boyd being considered favourable to 
the church of Scotland and Irish marriage question. This 
Jed many persons to interest themselves in the matter 
whose political views were opposed to both candidates. 
The town was guarded by troops of Lancers and con- 
stabulary, notwithstanding which, after the polling was 
over, the most determined mobs paraded the town, and 
many persons were severely beaten. It is said by the 
Ulster Times, that Dr, Boyd's return will be petitioned 
against, on the grounds of bribery, and for holding the 
situation of stamp-distributor. 
SCOTLAND. 
Edinburgh.—Dr. Candlish, and Mr. Dunlop, of Edin- 
burgh, are now in London, on business relative to the 
affairs of the Church of Scotland. It is understood their 
object is to advise with Mr, Fox Maule on the subject of 
his motion, which stood for Friday last, but which was 
postponed by the death of his father-in-law, Lord Aber- 
crombie. It is stated that, in the event of the prayer of 
the petition being granted, Dr. Candlish will himself plead 
the cause of non-intrusion at the bar of the House of 
Commons. 
Stirling.—In consequence of the demise of Lord Aber- 
crombie, it is said that there is every probability that the 
Duke of Montrose will succeed to the Lord-Lieutenancy 
of this county. 
Glasgow.—The University of Glasgow has just conferred 
on Mr. Richardson, the author of the ‘‘ New English 
Dictionary,” the degree of L.L.D.—The local papers state 
that some of the unemployed operatives of Glasgow have 
been employed during the past week.in breaking the ice in 
the streets, at the rate of 1s. per day. The great bulk of 
them however, amounting to many thousands, are still 
without the means of subsistence. 
Greenock.—The clergy, merchants, and other inhabit- 
ants of this city, have presented an address of condolence 
to Sir R. Peel, on the painful circumstances attending the 
recent death of Mr. Drummond. The following is the 
Premier’s reply, addressed to Archibald Yuill, Esq. :— 
oh Whitehall, Feb. 15. Sir, —I beg leave to acknowledge 
the receipt of your letter of the 11th inst., and of the ad- 
dress which accompanied it. I request that you will con- 
vey to those who have been parties to this address my 
grateful acknowledgments to them fo 
of the stake, and the spirit of the contending parties, it is likely 
again to make its way to the House of Lords, upon the 
tive question, what denominations of Trinitatian Sectarians are 
entitled to the benefit of the charity. By the terms of the founda- 
tion deeds, made in1794 and 1707, the charity was intended for the 
benefit of poor godly preachers of Christ’s holy gospel, and poor 
and godly widows of such preachers; and for the encourage- 
ment and promotion of the preaching of Christ’s holy gospel in 
poor places, and towards the education of young men designed 
for the ministry of Christ’s holy gospel. Lady Hewley belonged 
to the class of Dissenters known after the Restoration by the 
name of Presbyterian Nonconformists, who were, like herself, 
believers in the Trinity. In process of time a class of Dis- 
senters, who called themselves Presbyterians, had embraced 
Unitarianism, and having obtained the trust of the charity fun ds 
had applied them in support of Unitarian objects. This perver- 
f the founder’s intentions had been finally corrected by 
the decision éf the House of Lords in August last, affirming the

Patteson, Williams, Coleridge, Maule, Erskine, and Creswell; 
and Barons Parke, lerson, and Rolfe. The Lords present 
were:—The Lord Chancellor, and Lords Brougham, Denman, 
Abinger, Cottenham, and Campbell. e i 
The Queen v. George Millis—This was o: of tw 
brought up to the House of Lords on ee Trott tie Gout ot 
Queen’s Bench in Ireland, the alleged error being that the Court 
below had held that a marriage not celebrated in any church of 
the Establishment, but by a Presbyterian minister under the 
circumstances stated in the case, was not such 
valid, and to render the parties contracting the same liable to the 
contract, and not requiring the presence or i i 
. eine intervention of a 
clergyman in holy orders to give it validity, the marriage con-

riage was invalid, and consequently the indictment for bigamy 
could not be sustained—that the intervention of a priest in holy 
orders was essential to the due and legal solemnisation of 
matrimony, and that so far as the canon law was received into 
the Established Church, it appeared to establis i 
@ person not episcopally ordained was not a priest in holy orders, 
and that no sufficient authority had been shown for suggesting 
that a person not in holy orders could by approximating (no 
matter how near) be considered equivalent to a priest in holy 
orders, so as to give validity to marriages between members o} 
the Established Church. On the whole, it was contended that, 
by the common law of England, marriage was not complete 
without the performance of some religious ceremony by a clergy- 
an, and that that clergyman must be a clergyman of the

Courr or Common PiEas.— Wood v. Sir Matthew Wood, Bart. 
and Others.—This action was brought by some of the relatives of 
the late Mr. James Wood, of Gloucester, to recover from the 
defendants, his executors, the sum of 20,0002., which, it was 
alleged, a Mr. Philpotts had agreed, by the authority of Sir M. 
‘ood, given on behalf of the executors, to pay them. ‘he al- 
leged agreement was in the following words :—‘‘ Memorandum, 
2d May, 1836. It is hereby agreed between Jobn Philpotts, Esq., 
for and on behalf of Sir Matthew Wood, 
John Chadburn, and Jacob Osborne, three of the 
Wood deceased, and shall jointly, with 
of 20,000, sterling jn the public funds in the names of the said 
two persons, Wm. Bolton and Stephen Williams, upon trust, to 
ay the said sum, with the accumulations, on th 
May, 1837, to those parties, unless the said will of the deceased 
should be in the mean time set aside.” There were two ques- 
tions raised—first, whether Sir M. Wood ever gave Mr. Philpotts 
authority to enter into the agreement; and, secondly, whether, 
having such authority, Mr. Philpotts did enter into the agree- 
ment. After the examination of several witnesses, the Learned 
in summing up, told the jury it was a question entirely 
for their consideration. The evidence wa: contradictory, 
and they must determine to which side they felt themselyes bound 
credit. There was, however, this ci stance in. the

the parties immediately to invest the money without any con- 
dition being aunexed as to the will being proved, and divide it

with a verdict for the defendant.
