it is rather an argument against the effect of unanimity, that the vote includes posterity also. In the case of St. Stephen's, Walbrook, where the inhabitants were unanimous, the clause was inserted. All precedents prove only, that in some cases the Court has thought proper to insert such a clause, but not that it is bound to do so, by any rule of law with which I am acquainted. If it is a rule of discretion only, what are the circumstances in this case? Here is a populous parish, of great public resort, with a rental of 12,000l., and with inhabitants in easy circumstances. The expense on resident inhabitants, will be little more than one halfpenny in the pound. If such a parish is willing to have the power to tax themselves, and the Court should refuse, it would amount almost to a declaration that no parish ought to have an organ.

"But it is to be considered also, whether any private right will be affected by it. All that I find on that point is, that one person makes an affidavit, that three pews, belonging to himself and two other persons, will receive much detriment; but in what manner is not stated. It appears that his pew

was erected by himself without a Faculty; there is, therefore, no prescriptive right. It appears, that it was not built by leave of the parishioners, and although the Churchwardens have the general right, usage in some places gives it to the parish in vestry; and on the affidavits that have been exhibited, I think it is so here. This private right, therefore, which is claimed, is founded on no legal ground, nor is it good against the churchwardens or the parish.

Considering all the circumstances of this case, I am of opinion, that the Court has authority to grant the Faculty, and that there is no such general rule, requiring the unanimous consent of the parish to obtain the Faculty without the clause mentioned: there is a decided majority in favour of the application, and they have acted on a reasonable and prudent confidence.

"It is highly proper that there should be an organ in this church, if in any; and I pronounce for the grant, without inserting any clause respecting the provision for the organist, or for exonerating the parish from the expenses that may be incurred in maintaining it."

POLITICAL RETROSPECT.

DOMESTIC. The present month has been important in showing some symptoms of offensive warfare on the part of the Conservatives. At a splendid banquet given to Sir Robert Peel, by 313 members of the House of Commons, a complete union was announced to have been formed with that party by Lord Stanley, Sir James Graham, and those who usually act with them. This was shortly followed by a motion for rescinding the celebrated Appropriation Clause from the journals of the House, which had been the means of ousting Sir Robert Peel from office; and though the ministry succeeded in defeating the motion by a small majority, yet they were compelled formally to declare that they durst not act upon the resolution thus continued on the journals. There has been also some renewal of the agitation on the immediate abolition of

Negro apprenticeship among the public, and a motion for effecting it carried by a trifling majority against the measures of Government; but of which no other results are likely to follow, than a compulsion of the Whig-Radicals openly to resist for once the popular clamour and agitation The Ministers have refused to postpone the Coronation to a later period of the year, but have altered the day from the anniversary of the death of George IV.

FRANCE. The celebrated trial of Hubert and others, for a conspiracy to murder the king, has just terminated in the condemnation of Hubert himself to transportation for life, Steuble, Annat, and Mademoiselle Grouvelle, his accomplices, to five years' imprisonment; and Giraud to three years of the same penalty. The three other accused individuals were acquitted. The announcement of the
