Sometimes the protkosetaty re ceived the same fee on a ptheseding as the deputy prothonotary, and roth sometimes it was smallerie, whets the and some times the deputy pmotary got a f prothonotary got none. This showed that the tees were dis tinct. A Mr. Blozans, an attoraey, accompanied by a Mr. Bellamy, called oa Mr. Hewlett. and showed him two deeds *mated by Sir Henry Campbell, one revoking Hewlett's appointment, and another appointing Mr. Bellamy to the office of deputy prothonotary. Application was made to the Wawa, d to admit Mr. Bellamy to the tales, sad certain quis ling were put to him to test his sailleireg, when, as it was clear that he blew nothing of the of the *inert, the judge refused ,o admit him, and apptinted Mr. Hewlett, following the precedent of 1812. Sir H. Campbell then brought this action against Mr. Hewlett, to try the title to the office, and he claimed not only the fees of the prothono tary, but of the deputy prothonotary, on the ground that he had revoked the authority of the defendant. There were two points which were for the decision of that court ; era, whether the plaintiff could recover because the eppeintere should have brought the action ; and, secondly, bases, the action was bruoght to ree Jeer the fees due to the Deputy Prothonotary, that the affidavits did not dis tinctly state thetas awed had been made. The learned counsel now renewed his application, and the rule was granted. 111 TSB MATIMB 01 SUS SOUTH DIVON RAILWAY CON- The Church of England Quarterly Review, for January, MO.

SUITING& AT Mu PLlTS.—tirroat Mo. JOETWE TALTOIIiIs AND A Coomos Jr HARRISON O. WATSON. -INS LONDON AND WESTYINSTIO• LOAN SOCIITY. Mr. Serjeant Byles and Mr. B. James were counsel for the plaintiff ; and Mr. Miller, with whom was another learned gentleman, represented the defendant. From the opening statement of the learned eerjc ant it ap peared that the plaintiff was a butcher, cart yin" cn business in Duke-street. Linala's inn Gelds, and also secretary to the London and Westminster Loan Society, whose offices were in the plaintiff's house. The defendant wne a baker, having two shops, one in Fleet4treet and the other in Holborn. in the month of July, 1847, the defendant was in a rate of po cuniary embarrassment, end he applied to the London and Westminster LA* Society to lend him the sum of 3001., which they agreed to d t for two years, at the rate of ten per cent. interest. As security for the repayment of the money to the loan scciirty, the plaintiff and toe defendant signed a joint and weevil ptomaine note, which was handed over to' a Mr. Wslby, sae of the directors of the loan society to hol d u trustee for the society. The defendant had paid some small sums to the society, altogether amount ing to a sum under 401. The remainder of the debt, how ever, subitqueatly became hopelessly in arrest, and the plaintiff, as the 4r:indent's surety, had teen called upon to pay the sum of 251. by the loan society, to whom he was still liebl,, and he therefore brought the present action against the defendant to recover the amount which Le had paid on his baba. The that witness called was Mr. Henry Clarke, who stated that in the year 1847 ho was clerk to the plaintiff, who was the secretary to the London and Westminster Loan Society_ Iti July, 1847, the defenthut applied to the society to lend him 300!. The signatures to the promissory note now pro duced were thole of the plai eiffend the defendant. Winton SAW four cheques paid to the defendant. Two cheque', one ir 1001., the other for 401, were paid on the 7th of July, 1847, one ter 601. on the 14th July, and one for 471. 14e. Bd. on the 20 h of July, maki g altogether the sum of :371 14e. 81 received by the defendant; 601. wee deducted from the 3001. for interest, and 2/. 61 . 4d. for expenses. Cron-examined by Mr. Miller—The agreement for the loan was redueed to writing, and witness was the attest ing_ witness to it. The agreement was here put in and read. It stated that the defendant authorised the Plaintiff to hold the leases con nected with his relent a in Fleet- , treat as a security ft r the repayment of the 3001., and that, if the plaintiff theuld be sued for having accepted the promissory note, then the de fendant would exec ate a mortgage to the plaintiff of the premises in Fleet street. Cross ex .mination oentinned—The plaintiff, as tier dary to the Loan S'rtiety, was paid 3d. a week by each person who borrowed money, and 6d. on their reentering their LAWS in the kooks of the *witty and receiving a book of its rut .. The defendant called at the (face of the society, and wish_d to borrow 6001. upon the lease of his premises in Fleet street. The pleiatiff told him to leave the lease and he would lay the matte before the directors. When the defen dant called Pepin I.e WAS informed that the sum of 3001. would be lent him. Witnees copied the agreement produced from a copy which he had in the office. The defendant was to repel the lean in weekly instalments of six puunus, womb was afterwards lowered to three pound". Mr. Pencil, a director of the London and Westmiaster Loan Society, proved that the plaintiff had paid the society 261. on account of the pronnuery note. Hr. Miller then proceeded to ad.rtess the jury for the de fiant. He said the present action was one of the most :Wel and at the same time most flimsy in its character that hid ever been brought into a court of justice, and be thought, wh..n the jury had heard the whole case, they would not he sitate to return a verdict f r the deleudant. The jury wet* aware until recently notate of interest of above o per eene was legal. It had, however, been Lund that that law some cases preand 11 F ray upon the mercantile and corate e'- cial community, and an alteration was made in the lair, by weigh it was rendered legal to charge a higher ra•is of inte rest en bills of exchange which were to ran within a sexton time limiteu by the act of parliament. Sy the 2nd and 3rd of Viet., cap. 37, sec. 1, it was provided that this rule should not apply to cases where imp land. tenements, or hereditament', or any estate or interest therein, wee • made use of as a security. In the present awe these could he no doubt but that the main security held by the loan society was the lease of the drtendent's premises, and that the pro inisaory note wee merely a colourable transaction, to e nahl, them, as they though, legally to charge tin per et n' interest on the transaction, which they could not do ou a security of the kind refund to in the a, t of parliament which be had quoted. A witness had been cello! to prove it at the plaintiff paid the compsny 261., but that was a mats twee, as there was o doubt but that the mon, y was retuned to him again. He submitted there ought to be a' verdict for the dertedant, as it was clear that v.. security upon which tee company advanced e as one upon which may 5 per cent. interest could be charged. It was said that the defendant paid only ten per cent. interest for the mon.y her when it was remembered that he was to pay weekly 61. cc 31, mei that the loan was foe two yeas, tt at made the interest between two Ltd three hundred per cent. The learned counsel conducte d a v ry able spot cle by submitting that the promissory note was not a bona Ale security, but was only given to cover the illegality of the other par. of the transaction. Mr. Justice Tattooed, in summing up, left it to the jury to say whether they believed the leas* was deptisited with the plaintiff, and ins writt. n sentiment entered into as a security, wire= tko lantiff was to hold as the agent of the Loan Society, or was it merely a private security given to the plaintiff to secure him for having accepted the Fronde wry note. If they en wend the fist question in the dile manes, they would find their verdict the the defendant. The jury found a verdict fey the defendai,t, expressing their opinion that the lease was deposited with the plaintiff, and the agreement toured into, as the agent of the loan society. 8re137.111 or TUE COOL/2. Mr. Justice Tattooed stated that the court would et at Nisi Moos at Guildhall to-morrow, and If necessary would sir there again on Monday neat, as some of the ju lees from the Common Pleas would have to attend the Court 0, Criminal Appeal, which would sit on Saturday next. THE EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVENING, JANUARY 18, 1850, There was nothing is the covenant to Jude/ the shorter of it. two routes indicated, to be Tesurted to. TM 1,0001. was a penalty is point of fact, although it was described as " liquidated damages" in the deed. iteehles the restrictions in the convenient were mousey to pablie policy, sad alto nether invalidated it. This mist was rolled on as grounds fur arresting the judgment. The Court bald that the defeniant was not entitled to a rule on either of the grounds alleged. The stipulation was revionablet and expressly stated. It was not contrary to bound, policy, se a restraint upon trade, and the court felt bound, therefore, to give effect to the intention of the parties, as plainly espy:laid in the deed, and to protest the plaintiff. They ware also of opinion that the learned baron bad not misdirected tha jury. The mode adopted for mea suring the distance was the correct one. As to the motion to arrest judgment, that question altogether depended on the feet, whether the covenant was illegal by which the defendant bound himself not to reside within two miles and a half of his fanner residence. They were of opinion that that was a very fair and reasonable copula tioo. The practice might be worth little oc nothing if the defendant was to be at liberty to live within such a die taries as to interfere with the plaintiff's r7ghts, for which he had paid a very considerable sum of money. As to the re duction of the damages to one shilling it was impossible for the court to say that the parties who expressly stipulated they should be 1,0001., might rot have ascertained their pro bable amount beforehand. It was certain that the damages eririeg from en infringement of the covenants of the deed were uncertain and not such as could be ascertained precisely by calculation. The parties had stipulated what their amount ought to be, land on that ground there wee no reason for disturbing the verdict —The rule was refused generally. SHERIFFS COURT.—Y6BTERDAY. Herons Ma. thenzarperrr BORNI V. WILCOX AND ANOTNEII —FAIAI UP/160MM This was a writ of inquiry to assess the damages in at. action for false imprisoment, the defendant having suffered judgment to go by default. Mr. Harry appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Prentis in mitigation of damages. Toe learned counsel, in stating the cam to the jury, said that the plaintiff was an old man. 77 years of age, end during • long residence of 60 years at Stoke Hammond. near Leighton Buzzard, in Buckinekansabire, he had maintained an unblemished reputation. He followed the occupation of a horse dealer, and was in the habit of attending country fairs, end on the 17th of May last he attended Binbury (sir, where he met the defendant Wil cox, who was a substantial farmer in Ozfordshire. The plaintiff bought a horse from the defendant for 61., and they went to the Plough public-house, in order to settle the bar pin ; plaintiff paid the money and the defendant left the house, but had not been long absent when he returned with the constable of the parish and gave both the plaintiff and his son into custody ; and not satisfied with keeping them cnnfined in a room, Letts, the constable, by the defendant Wilcox directions, resorted to the most unnecessary vio lence, having handcuffed the old man and his eon together, end compelled them to sleep in that position all night. They both frequently requested Wilcox and Letts to tell 'hem what °Same they had committed, but neither Lett* nor Wilcox would do so, until they took them before a magistrate, who resided three miles from the Plough. They arrived there about twelve o'clock next day, after being twenty hours in custody, and when the mogiatrate heard the charge he told the detendents t. they were fools for their pains," and ordered the plaintiff and his son to be discharged tram custody. This, the learned counsel submitted, was a very aggravated case, and he begged the jury would take into their serious consideration the Peeped age of the plain tff and the total absence of any justification on the part of the defendant, who not only put the law in motion upon an anf-unded charge against the plaintiff, but added to it insult and precast violence, which in any case was totally unne cessary. Ile therefore called upon the jury to mark their sense of the injury inflicted upon the plaintiff by awarding him such ample damages as would compensate in some mea sure for the false and unfounded imputations upon his cha racter and reputation. Jonathan Horne, the plaintiff's son, was examined, and his evidence in chief clearly proved the above facts. In crapezaminatien by Mr. Prentis, he stated that the horse which his father bought of Wilcox was sold by his bro ther, John Horne, a few days before fr 121 to the di (cad ent. He denied most positively that fie knew the horse was glandered, or that • " plug fell out of his nose" on the day his brother sold him to Wilcox, and whilst be was taking him home. Mr. Peentis then prcceeded to address the jury in mitiga tion of damages, in the course of which he contended that the plaintiff and his sons had conspired together for the pur nom!, of cheating the defendant. He purchased the horse of Lint Horns for 12e, end the father bought him back for 61, one-half what he bad paid. He did not attempt to justify the defendant., although Lett., in law, had some justifica tion ; but, as he had nerknted to take advaatsge of his ptivilege of being a constable, he must now abide the cones quencs, and take an equal share of the damage awarded, with the defendant Wilcox. Wilcox had decidedly com mitted an error is law. The selling a glandered horse was an offence punishable in criminal courts, and instead of giv ing them into custody he should have applied to a justice of the peace for • warrant for their apprehension. The learned Under-Sheriff, in summing up, said that the only question for the jury was the amount of damage the plaintiff was entitled to. It was clear the defendants bad done wrong, and they both admitted that fact, therefore, they were both equally liable. It was an offence, and a very serious one, to poop a glandered lapse for sale in a put.lic piece. It was dangerous, nut only to horses, but also to human beings, and the criminal law of the land t ro tided a suitable punishment fur such an offence, but there was no direct evidence that the animal was Wandered. Nei ther the plaintiff aor the defendants had thought proper to 'might: it the jury on the point, therefore, it must go for a biog. They did not, however, sit there to proeccute the defendant, but to deal out such amount of damage as the plsinCflought reasonably to have for the injury inflicted They were told that Wile:: was • substantial farmer but 'here was no pr of that he was. It would, therefore, be well to dismiss that from their minds, and only take. into consideration such facts as were pr.ved before them. A Jurymen asked what amount of damages the ',Lana claimed. The learned Under-sheriff told him that it did not matter what the amount was that he claimed. The sum inserted in the pleadiags was a mete matter of form. There was, however, no harm iu telling the gentlemen of the jury the rem claimed—it w-s 3C01; but they must not estimate the Isintiff 's character at his own valuation. The jury gave a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 151. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT.—VESTERDAY. Barone Till CIII) I COIIIIIIMIONEk IN THI ILATTRIS OP JOHN BROWN.—SCILDING SPECU LATIONS.

CHAIOE 07 TAKING ILLEGAL POSSEqRION..—JOSeph Whiteside, Henry l'rosser,James May, andlVilhans Hughes, 'our labouring men, were brought before Mr. Binge ass, there'd with having forcibly and illegally taken possession of the White Bear Hotel, Piccadilly. Mr. Beckett, a solicitor, said it would be necessary to make a short statement to show the character of the offence the defendants bad committed. Some time ago the lease of the White Bear Hotel was purchased by a person named Jones. The new lessee put in a manager named Jackson, who up to the present time carried on the business of the hotel. Jones made alterations in the house, and was obliged to borrow money. The Law Life-olliee lent 1,0001. on the lean, ta, and Jackson became security for the amount. Jones became embarrassed, and could not repay the 1,0001. and consequently the Law Life office put in a bill of tale and took posses ion. Jones was out of the way, and could nowhere i be found. Mrs. J ones, however, bad that day made her appear ance with the defendants at the bar, turned the occupiers and lodgers oat of the hotel, and taken possession of it. Toe defendants wen given into custody and brought to that to. art to answer for their conduct. Mrs. Jones bad lock.d her-telt in one of the rooms, and refused to open the door. 'the defendants said they had be n authorised by Mrs. Jones to act as her servants. Mr. Bieghemexplaned to the defendants the impropriety of the course which they bad a'opted, and required that they should promise not to go near the house again. The defendants gave the to quired promise, and on eriftr-* leg into their own recogniare a were liberated. THAMES.

Evans at length r. plied, "That is ro bininees of yours," and then calling to the person inside, said. " Idr. Greene, here is a constable wants to know what we are doing here on sour premises." Pye, who was not to be so easily taken in, i* sent d on knowing more of the matter, and directed Mrs. N. shun to bring a light, o.i which the parties inside made towards the kitchen pursued by the constable, who heard teem throw something in the direction of tee fireplace.

Mr. Wigram and Mr. Daniell, for the plaintiffs, Sir Henry Hervey B u* and Mr. Francis Ali:ander Damon, moved for an injunction to restrain Mr. George Samuel Ford, the defendant. ham sting out or enfraing execution upon two judgments for 3,9001. and 4,0001. It appeared that Mr. Robert Judas Clifton, who was the only son or Sir Juekea Granville Csitton, while under age, contracted large debts, and accepted hills of ex change to a con side:able amount. Betore the son attained his ma hoary an arrangement wee made by the family, by which a considerable sum was placed in the hands of the family solicirnr ter he payment el the 9011'11 debts. The defendant (My F- rd) thin:sod to to laid under this arrangement the martini of cerai:o -r sums amcunting to 6,5001, et c pted by the son during his minority, amt the solicitor pro , pearl to Fay 4.300/., being the money actually advanced on he bills, and 10 per cent. interest, in full or all demands. This sum was accepted, but aftermath, on Mr. Ford being ,/,plied to for fur. her a :vane.. by the son, then in confine- Izetat for debt, Mr. Ford cone anted to do so if Mr. Clifton (save him security, nut only (or the amount adt..need, but ' far the award ahandoned on the settlement with the family solicitor, and for the sums expended by Mr. Ford in keep ing op life policies of in-uraoes. This was consented t a sum of 4001. accordingly advanced by Mr. Ford, and the judgments now in qoescion given by Mr. Clifton. After wards, in April, 10149, a dead was executed, whereby the Clifton Had and Wilford writes were limited to the plain tiffs as trustet.s, and by the same deed a rent charge of 2,0001. par annum was secured to Mr. C Non.

Mr. Melina and Mr. Tout's* appeared for a Mr. Siepbene, a solicitor, who bad been served with notice of the :motion, having been present at one part of the teats action, hut took no part in the argument. Mr. Jams Parker and Mr. Toiler resisted the motion, upon the grounds that the trustees had no power to make such a meth* ; that the execution of the judgments would au affect the property of which they were trustees; that over a coneiderable portion of the estate which was subject to the mortgage, Mr. Clifton bad only an equity of redemp tion ; and that Mr. Pea had fairly stated all the facts of the ease, which shoved that he bad incurred great liabilities in oldie to serve Mr. Clifton in his difficulties. After some dtiessaion, it wee agreed that Mt. Ford should give an undertaking not to sue out execution on the judg meats, or ei th er of them, against the estates, the trustees undertaking to pay him within a fortnight 4001. with interest. The Vice-Chancellor observed that Mr. Ford had admitted the facts with great fairness, but if a young man was to be ' resisted in his pro frigidity by peenniary advance., the maw quanta might be 'early foreseen.

The cause was tried at Guildhall on the last day of the sittirge be fore Mr. Justice Erle. It was an action for money hat. and ',coital; the plea was never roi.ebteel. The plaintiff was the protrionotary of the Palace s-turf, and the defend*: acted iut deputy-prothonotary, and the action was brouSlat to recover certain fees, and the par hailers of dentood, which ware somewhat unusual, stated " that the action was brought to receiver the unease of fees, pr .tits, and mAumects received by the defendant* deputy proilionotery tor a peri rd, the amount of which was stated, and also f r an- Cher pea 4, the amount of which was not known to the plaintiff, but the same were in the know. help, of the dettndent." The court was constituted hy charter of Charles 11., and there were to be three judges, the Lord Steward, t he Knight Marshal, and the Steward, the tatter was generally a lawyer, who had power by the charter to appoint a depu ' y. The charter also provided r the appointment of a prothoaotary, who was also em pews red to appoint a deputy. Sir Henry Campbell, who was a genera' emcee, was appointed protheaotary . in 1792, and was admitted, but never afterwards appeared in emelt, or interfered in the app eintment of a deputy, so that the matter was left pretty mush to the steward. An order of the suet of 1812 was put in by which a Mr. Crucldey, who h.
