quorum * Mr . Patxe , owing to the indisposition of Mr . Eddi-Bcm , tbe Town Clerk , acted as Deputy Town Oerk . Ha / ing read the minutes of the last meeting of the Council , Mr . Payne read a notice which had been served upon the Town Clerk by the Overseers of the P < x > r of the Township of Hunslet , stating that they objected to t >> e order made upon them by the Council on the 17 th of April last for the payment of a Gaol Rate of £ 69 18 =. -id ., and a Borough E * te of £ i ~ 19 10 s . 3 d . The Overseers stated that thsy objecied oa the ground that the rates were Dot imposed on the fair rateable value of property in Bnnslet , and were disproportionately large as comptred with ' . hose required from the other Townships of the Borough . The Overseere added that as the time had passed for making' an appeal against the p » ynient of the rates , they stated their objections ia order that the Council might not hereafter levy ntes Bpon the Township of Hunslet in the same way as they had done by the imposition ol those complained " of .
The special business was comprised in the feltowmg notice relative to the contract for the maintenance of prisoners in the House of Correction at Wake field : — " rt will be proposed that the Council do pass such orders and resolutions xs may be thought requisite for executing and carrying into effect the contract between the Council of the Boron ^ b of Leeds , and the Justices of the Peace for { he Wps ; Riding of the County of York , respecting the confinement , maintenance , and exprcees of prisoners sent from the Borough to the Hcmse of Correction at Wakefield .

Atki > -so 5 seconded the motion .
Mr . Joseph Cliff said he was opposed to the pnwpte of ihe contract . It ought to be made upon the-principle of paying according to the rateable property of the Borough , as compared with tie rateable property of the Ridine , and not according to the number of prisoners tent Aidencan Tottie said that what Mr . Cliff had Eated was an additional argument in favour of waging a Kew Gaol in the Borough . The proposition was then put and carried nem ttn . The Srn notice of besiness to be transacted at the vartcrly Meeting was as follows : — " A report will jw presented from the Finance Committee of sundry Biik Kid expenses incurred jh carrying into execution the provisions of the Acts relating to Muni-« pal Con > oratiocs , and a motion will be made that twsaaie be paid .

and what part of the township ot hamlet of Cookndge is within the borough of Leeds . _ The next notice was : — "It will be proposed , that in accordance with the recommendation of the Finance Committee and the Coroner , the table of fees and disbursements payable by the Coroner on the holdiDg of inquests within tfee borough of Leeds , be altered according to a schedule which will be produced before the Council . " Alderman Tottie produced a table of fees proposed by the Finance Committee ; but as he had the day before received a table drawn up by the Coroner ( Mr . Blackburn ) himself , be suggested that the entry on the jiotice paper shoald be dropped , until the Finance Committee had an opportunity of comparing the two tables and seeing which was the most equitable and would be of the greatest advantage to the Borough if adopted .
The suggestion was acceded to by the Council , and the notice was dropped . Alderman Tottie brought forward a statement from the Finance Committee , on the subject of the accounts of disbursements for special constables , &c , in the month of August last . The report was to the effect that tke accounts had been referred to the Finance Committee , by an order of the Council made on the 5 th of April last , snd that th" > y had examined them and found them to be reasonable and correct .
A brief discusion took place , but no motion was made ; aad as the Connol appeared to consider the accounts satisfactory , Alderman Bateson , one of the Borough Auditors , said he should now sign them . On the motion of Alderman Tottik , the borough seal was ordered to be attached to the contracts entered into with Mrs . Hannah Walker and Mr . Win . Hardwick , respectively , f « r land as a sitefor the New Gaol . Ou the motion of Alderman Tottie , it was also ordered that the Gaol Committee pay , out of the Gool rate , Mrs . Hannah Walker the amount of the purchase money , on the 1 st of June next , or snch oiher day as they think proper . 1
Mr . Cawood proposed—* That the Market Commitiee be empowered by the Council , to make reasonable offers to the owners of the tenements required for enlarging the Kirkgate Market , for the purchase of their respective tenements , regard being had to the amount of the valuations of Mt . Child and Mr . Simpson , ( who were appointed by the Ommittee for that purpose , ) and to the valuation made of the borough by Messieurs Sharp and Cooper ; provided that such offers shall not exceed the highest valne of such tenements in any Buch valuation ; and that the said Committoe be authorised to make contracts for the purchase of the said tenements accordingly . "
The motion was seconded by Mr . Skextos , and carried . On the motion of Mr . Cjiwooo , it was also resolved— " That the Finance Committee appointed under the Improvement Act , be authorised to obtain such loans of money from time to time as shall be wanted tor the payment of the purchase money at a reasonable rate of interest ; the same money to be repaid at such respective times and in such manner as the Council shall determine . " Mr . Martin Cawood brought forward the proposed Rules and Bye Laws for the regulating Hackney Coaches , which he said had undergone several alterations by the Hackney Coach Committee since they were last before the Town Council . The principal alterations were in the mode of reckoning the distances which regulate the payment of thefares .
and in the number and situation of the stands . Instead of having a table of fees , it J 3 proposed that the fares be paid according to a map for each stand , to be provided by the Hackney Coach Committee ; the fare ( one shilling ) being for the distance from each stand as a centre to all the places within a circle whoss radius is one mile from that oentre . Beyond the cirenmferenee of the circle , the fares are to be paid at the rate of 6 d . for every half mile . There are to be five stands , namely No . 1 , in Briggate ; No . 2 , North Midland Railway Station ; No . 3 , in Northstreet ; No . 4 , in Oxford-street , near Oxferd-place Chapel ; and No . 5 , in Park-row , Bear the Court House . Mr . Cawood read the whole of the proposed Rales and Bye Laws , and concluded by moving that they should be adopted by the Council , aud notices of them duly advertised , in order that they may be passed by the Recorder at the next sessions .
Mr . Bischall seconded the motion , which was agreed to . It was agreed " That the Streets Committee be authorised to pay to Mr . George Pickles and Mr . John Myers , of Bramley , the respective sums agreed to be paid for the purchase of land , for widening the Town Street near to th * top of Bell Lane , in the Township of Bramley , as soon as the conveyances have been completed . " Alderman Lcccock then introduced a proposition which was not on the notice paper . He said that the present Board of Works were not sufficient for the accommodation of the offices for the Borough Surveyor , and a separate office could not be
eot suitable for snch offices for less than £ 10 . a year . The house of Mr . John Goodman , in Park-row , which would answer all the purposes of the Board of Works and offices for the Surveyor , as well aa a dwelling-house for Mr . Whitehead , the Clerk to the Board , conid be obtained at a rental of £ 80 . a year . As Mr . Whitehead had agreed to pay £ 20 . a year for the part that he would occupy as a dwelling-house , the rent of the premises to the Council would be reduced to £ 60 , which would only be £ 2 z year more than they had to pay for the present premises . He begged to move that the Offices Committee be empowered to rent the house belonging to Mr . John Goodman , in Park-row , at £ & 0 a year , instead of the present Board of Works .
Mr . Cawood seconded the motion , which was pnt and agreed to . On the motion of Aid . Tottie . it was ordered that the account of Ellis Hodgson , E q ., the Treasurer , for ibe West Riding , for the maintenance of prisoners in Wakefield House of Correction from the 1 st of January to the 31 ? : of March , 1843 , inclusive , amounting to £ 530 18 s be inserted iu the report of the Finance Committee passed this day , and be paid . The council broke up at a quarter to three o ' clock .

KOTTINQHAM . The Fhahe Woek Knjtt £ Ks . —Tnese lll-ut-ed operatives have lately sent » petition to the House of Commons , praying for a Committee to inquire into the following allegations : — 1 st . As to the present low rate of wages given for making hosiery , and the causes of such depression , and to provide a remedy . 2 nd .

And we fnrther pray your Honourable House to require the ho lers and manufacturers t » deliver out tickets with their work , as to the price given and the quantity of work reqaired ; and making it penal for master stockingers or bagmen , taking out hosiery to manufacture , not showing their journeymen such tickets , when they deliver the material to them to work .
7 th . And whereas a Charter was granted for the , protection of the framework-knitters of these realms , in the year 1663 ; but as of l » te years no notice has been taken thereof , we , your petitioners , pray your Honourable House to revive those protections and , if found insufficient for oar protection , we j further pray 8 th . Aud humbly implore your Honourable House to enact a l * w empowering the Crows to appoint a commission , in cases of dispute between the employers and the employed , in the manufacturing districts , to fix and regulate wages , and to make general regulations , for the guidance of masters and workpeople , subject to the revision of the Privy Canncil . And your petitioners , as in duty bound , will eTer

LOCSWOOD ,-This town has of late been all bustle and excitement , as the following will shew . On Thursday , the 20 th of April , a meeting of the ratepayers was held for the purpose of passing the accounts of the overseers of the highways , S . Hill , grocer , and James Wrigley , farmer . The accounts of Mr . Hill were not objected to , but those of Mr . Wrigley appeared to be very unsatisfactory , and a motion was made and carried that some one should go and oppose them before the magistrates . Thi 3 was done , and the magistrates refused to sign them , and , consequently , another meeting was held , » hen a committee wa . 3 appointed for the purpose of examining his books , and on Friday last a further meeting was hel # for the purpose of hearing the result of the
committee ' s investigation , of which the following is an outline . Mr . T . Crossland , manufacturer , was called to the chair . Mr . Crossland read over the report of the committee ' s investigation , from which it appeared that on looking over the books of Mr . Wrigley they found an entry of William Making breaking fifty-four loads of stones , and on being examined , he declared he had only broken eighteen . There was also an account of fourteen days' work to William Making , and he declared be had neither worked a day nor received a days' wage . John Wrigky . uncle to the surveyor , is stated as having
made full time during the whole year , with the exception of fourteen days , and during those fourteen days he contracted for and broke twenty loads of stonas at sixpence per load . Other sums equally erroneous wcre discovered . Before the latter meeting Mr . Wrigley waited on the oommittee and offered to throw off £ 17 , but this the committee very properly refused , and on Friday , with the consent of the ratepayers , they agreed to throw off £ 35 , which offer he gladly took . A vote of thanks was given to the committee , and a separate vote was given to Mr . John Abbey , and also to the chairman , for his impartial conduct in the chair .
SHEFFIELD — Poor Law Tyranny . —Public attention was called to a circular issued by the Poor Law Guardians , and published in the Star , dated February llih , in which the Sheffield manufacturers were requested to make a division of their labour . On a deputation of the Associated Trades waiting upon Mr G . Crossland , that circular was promised to be withdrawn , and not to be acted upon ; and yet , in violation of Buch promises , the following circular has been put into the hands of several of ihe able-bodied poor , who have been obliged to call upon all the master manufacturers , and solicit employment at their own trades , for the scanty pittance allowed to them by the parish . TO . Gentlemen , —The bearer is out of employment , and the scale of relief to him would be about five shillings per week . The Guardians uf the poor of Shtflield being extremely desirous of finding employment for their able poor , respectfully rt quest that you will give this man work to ihe amount of his scale . If . bowc-ver , it ia inconvenient to do so , they would feel obliged by your signature to this paper , in order to satisfy them that he has properly exerted himself to avoid the parish . I ivm , Gentlemen , Your very obedient Servant , Geo . Ceossland . Sheffield Vestry-Office , April 29 , 1543 .
The tyranny of the Guardians , and the degradation of tbe unfortanate recipients of parish relief is so manifest in the above , aa to render comment unnecessary , and which , if carried into effect , would tend t » pauperize all the working classes of
Sheffield . BOZiTOK . —Claim for Goods from a Pawnbroker . —At the Borough Court , B lton , on Saturday last , Mr .

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH , Tjiuhsda y , May 4 . ( Sittings in Banco . } All the avenues to the court were much crowded this morning , in consequence of its having been understood that the Chartists were to appear to receive the judgment of the Court . The following persons answered to their names : — Feargus O'Connor , Richard Otloy , George Julian Harney , William Hili , John Arran , William Aitkin , Sandy Challenger , Samuel Parkes , Thomas Raiiton , William Woodruff ; the above were convioted on the fifth count ou ! y . James Leach , Christopher Doyle , Jonathan Bairstow , James Arthur , Thomas Cooper , Robert Brooke , John Durham , James Fenton , James Moouey , Frederick Augustus Taylor ; convicted on the fourth and fifth counts . The Attorwey-Genehal prayed the judgment of the Court upon these defendants , who had been convicted in Lancashire .
Lord Denman said the Court had been informed that some of the parties who had been convicted at the assizes were not in attendance . The Court was of opinion that that circumstance made no difference as to those who were present . The Crown had a right to proceed against those who were present ; and the defendants who were in court had a right to make a-Dy application , notwithstanding the absence of the others . It would be better to read the report in tbe first place . The Attorney-General said that if any of the defendants or his learned friends proposed to move in arrest of judgment on the indictment , perhaps that might be done at once . Lord Denman—Certainly .
Mr . Dundas then said that he appeared for Robert Brooke , who bad been convicted on the fourth and fifth counts , and in his behalf he had to move in arre » t of judgment oa both counts . Lord Denman thought it would be & 3 well to have the counts read . The ofiicer then read the counts . The fourth count set out that on the 1 st day of August , aud on divers other days and times between that time and the 1 st of Ootober , divers evil-disposed persons assembled together , and by threats and intimidation forced divers well-disposed subjects of the Queen to leave their occupation and cease the labour . they were carrying on ; and that the defendants , with other evil-disposed persons unknown , did incite other persons to continue and persist iu such unlawful assemblages , with intent to raise » terror and alarm in the minds of peaceable subjects of the Queen , and to cause and procure great changes to be made in tbe jaws and constitution of the country .
The fifth count charged the defendants with having incited the liege subjects of the Queen to disaffection and hatred of the laws , and to unite and agree to leave their employment and produce a cessation of labour , with intent to bring about a change in the laws and constitution of this realm . Mr . Dundas then continued—If their Lordships would permit ; him , he would make a few observations on the fifth count first . If their Lordships would look at that count , it would be seen there was no venue stated iu it at all , and he therefore submitted that the count was dearly bad and defective upon the face of it . It was so plain a thing , that he trusted it would not be necessary to make any observation ? upon it , but merely to point it out
to the attention of the Court . It was quite clear that the indictment was framed in great haste , for there was no special venue laid at all , and he apprehended it was pot cured by the verdict , and that still bv way of arrest of judgment it might be made to appear to the Court to be a fatal objection . He begged in the first p lace to call the attention of the Court to the necessity , which he hoped he need not argue , that there must be in every count of an indictment some venue or o her to show that the offence was committed within the jurisdiction of the Court that was to try it , and that without a venue it would not do , and it had been so decided , and it had not been cured by the 5 th Geo . IV ., cap . 65 , Bee . 20 . He submitted it was a defect
which vitiated the indictment . Tbe 20 th section of the aot declared , that in order that tbe punishment of offenders might be the less frequently intercepted in consequence of technical niceties , it was enacted , that no judgment upon any indictment for felony after verdict or outlawry should be stayed or reversed for the want of the averment of any matter unnecessary to be proved , nor for want of a proper and perfect venue where the Court should appear by the indictment to have had jurisdiction over the offence . Now , he apprehended it was perfectly clear that these words , "for want of proper or perfect venue , " implied something where a venue had been laid in the indictment , but either improperly or imperfectly , but did not apply to a case like the presant , where there was no venue at ail .
Lord Denhan . —It is an objection yot to be considered undoubtedly . Mr . Dundas would call their Lordships' attention to the ease of ' * The King v . Hart , " in 6 Carr and Payne , 133 . Although that wiis before verdict , yet it wouid nevertheless appiy to this case . That was an indictment for stealing a bill of exchange . The indictmuir ha >( been found by a , London yr-jud jury .

have been stolen was stated to be in tke parish of St . Marylebone , without stating that the offence was committed in London . Mr . Justice Littledale and Mr . Justice Bosanquet held that was bad , and not aided by tho 7 ihofGeoige IV ., so that the 6 tatute only aided tbe want of a proper and perfect venue . He apprehended that though that was before verdict it still showed that there was no ; hiii £ on the face of the indictment to give the Court jurisdiction over the offence , and he submitted that the absence of the venue vitiated that count of the indictment . If their Lordships would look to the count itsblf , he apprehended it would appear , upon a fair construction of the matter , that there was no offence charged on the face of the
indictment ; it really amounted only to this—it charged an attempt to persuade persons to do what tht ; y might lawfully do ; it would , he apprehended , be no 'ff nee at all . It charged that the defendants uniawiuily endeavoured to incite her ; Majesty ' s subjects to disaffection and hatred of her laws , and unlawfully endeavoured to persuade her subjects to unite and agree to leave their employment , and produce a cessation of labour , with intent to bring about aud produce a change in the laws and constitution of che realm . Now , their Lordships would gee in tho first place there was no conspiracy charged ; it was aa endeavour to per .-uade persons who were tho lawful subjects of tho Qjfen to a ^ rce to leave th' -ir several employments and produce a cessation of labour . Xo doubt that was to apply to the case of workmen .
Lord Denman—We think that is also an objection . Mr . Dundas said then , that he had an objection to the fourth count . Ho submitted that the fourth couut v ? as defective also , by reason of having no venue laid in tbe early part of it . The Court would see what the nature of the count was ; it charged that several persons had tumultuously assembled together , who , by throats and intimidations to divers others , being peaceable subjects , forced them to leave their occupations and employments , meaning tliat thoy had been tumuUuQusly rising , and tint the workmen were forced to leave their employments . He took that to bv > tho material fact in this count , becauso the charge was that the defendants did
u-i-lawiul ' y aid , abet , assist , and encourage the said evil-disposed persons to continue and persist in the unlawful meetings ; and it was not stated where these uulawiul meetings were held , nor though it was a material fact necessary to be found , was is laid with any venue as it ought to hav « been by the rules of pleading , and he submitted that it was not cured by the statute to which ho had referred , because it did not appear that the fact , which was a material fact , to be tried and found by the jury was a fact wiiich was tryable within the jurisdiciiou of the court that tried it . He did not know whether he need refer the Court to authorities to prove that every material fact in issue and to be tried must be laid with time and place . Justice
Buller . had laid down the rule in " The King v . Holland , " 5 Term Reports , 620 ; but all tho authorities , both ancient and modern , concurred iu laying it down that when there is a material fact to be tried by the jury it must be laid with time and place , or else the count was defective on the face of it . Where was the venue laid here ? There was a time laid , but no place . It was laid on the 1 st of August , and on divers other days between that day and the 1 st of Ootober , and at divers places , but never saying where those places were . They might be any where in the world ; they were not laid aa being within the county of Lancaster , but at certain times
and certain places ; no man could say where . There were certain tumultuous risings , and afterwards it stated that these persons did , &c , and then a venue was laid very imperfectly ; it stated that on divers other days , between that day aud the 1 st of October , in the parish aforesaid , and county aforesaid . After verdict perhaps that would do , but he submitted that , in the early part of the indictment , the count wanting the veuue was defective in a material fact necessary to be tried by the jury , and without that there was no offence charged agaiust the defendants , because it was aiding and abetting such persons in their said acts .
Lord Denman—Supposing the count bad simply stated , that the defendants bad aided and abetted , at a time and iilace , certain persons who were before engaged id doing some unlawful act in doing it , then the act of the defendauta would appear to be at that place—was it not the same ! Mr . Dundas submitted there were certain things that ought to be done in an indictment . The facts ought to have been laid with a proper venue to be tried by a jury of Lancashire . There mu « t be time and place laid as venue to that effect . That was the objection , he submitted , which was on tbe face of the fourth count . His learned friends , who appeared for other individuals , would address the Court on the same point . Perhaps he ought to have stated , as to the fifth count , the aot of the 6 th Geo . IV ., c . 129 , sec . 34 , which related to workmen meeting to settle waites .
Lord Denman said it would be better to hear all parties upon the application . Mr . Serjeant Murphy appeared on behalf of John Durham , Jonathan Bairstow , and Thomas Kailton . He understood the rule was &mnted as to the fifth count , ard he should , therefore , on the fourth count , first observe that there was a material distinction between this case and that of con » piracy . This count did not oharge conspiracy , it was a common statement of aiding and abetting . He was aware , with regard to conspiracy , that it had beeu held that the offence was complete with regard to conspiracy when the conspiracy itself was charged , and therefore the observation his Lordship had made certainly would have been completely
conclusive had this been a charge of conspiracy ; but this was a mere charge of aiding and abetting . They could not be aiding and abetting , unless it was aiding and abetting in some offence charged upon the indictment , and the charge of that offence must not be taken with regard to those who wcre aiders and abettors , to be mere inducement , it must be taken that there was some substantive offencecharged which the defendants were in connexion and within the jurisdiction of the Court , if they were charged with aiding and abetting in that offence . What was the charge made in this case ? That these persons were aiding and abetting several other persons who had assembled tumultuously together , and by threats and intimidations used towards other persons ,
forced them to leave their occupations and employments . Supposing it appeared on the face of the indictment that iu addition vo the mere statement , that these were peaceable subjects of the realm , it had gone on to state that these persons were residing in the kingdom of Scotland , —he would ask whether their Lordships would not say that the mere aiding and abetting them must be a constructive presence at the aiding and abetting jitmustbe , therefore shown , with regard to the offence , that it had taken place within the jurisdiction of the Court ; aud if that wero so , there was nothing on the face of the indictment to point out that this offence might not have taken place out of the jurisdiction where this indictment was preferred , because the only
allegation was , that they were peaceablesubj ' ct . s , whom they were endeavouring to prevent going on with their trades , and attempted to intimidate with threats and violence ; there was nothing to show that these subjects might not have been in Ireland and Scotland , where this Court could not have had any jurisdiction . Their Lordships would recollect that in ordinary cases , where there was a charge of aiding aud abetting , in order to give that certainty , and not leave it to inference or implication , there was always an express allegation that thty were then and there aiding and abetting . There was nothing to show but that , the tumultuous outbreaks might have taken place in Scotland , and the party might have been in England . He might clearly have been aiding and abetting , though not then and there present when the outbreak took place ; but it
was necessary that that should be alleged on the face of the indictment . Supposing the offence charged had been a felony , and that a murder had been committed by certain persons without an allegation of venue , and supposing afterwards it was stated that in the parish aforesaid , iu the county aforesaid , John Jones did aid and abet the person who had committed the murder , he would ask whether their Lordships would say with regard to that felonious charge whether it would be 8 ufficieat , or whether any verdict could aid that which was a material statement of the murder having been committed 1 If the murder was not committed within the jurisdiction , the aiding and abetting would make him amenable to the jurisdiction . The Learned Counsel , for these reasons , urged that the fourth count was bad .
Mr . Bodkin , for Doyle and Parkes , and Mr . Atherton for Fenton , Leach , Harney , and Arthur , adopted che same line of argument on behalf of their clients . Lord Denman asked if any other defendant wished to move in arrest of judgment ? Mr . Dundas believed not . Lord Denman then said—We are of opinion that all these objections ought to be considered , aad there will , therefore , be . a rule . Will it not be convenient to appoint sometime now when the rule may be argued ? The Attorney-General eaid , ( that any day that might be convenient to the Court , the Crown would be ready . It was ultimately arranged that the argument should be heard on the second day of nest term .
The Attorney-Gknekal said , that one of the defendants was in custody . On the part of the Crown there was no wish that he should remain in custody , but that he should be discharged upon his own recognizance . The defendants then all entered into their own recognisances to appear for judgment when called upon , and left the court . Thomas Cooper and John Richards , who had been convicted at Stafford of conspiracy , then came forward . The Attorney-General prayed tire judgment of the Court upon these dcfunfiati !^ .
