WALKSLIBT, in presenting himself, cordially thanked the audience for the gratfjiag reception they bad given his, for it assured him that the principles which ant found favour in the eyes of the electors were mill • source of pride to them, and what was of still greater importune, that the political coons he had deemed it his duty to pursue, bad remind their sanction, sad would have their earnest and hearty co-operation. (Cheers.) After referring to the ka.t important of the 202 questions upon which the opinions of the House of Commons were recorded during the past suion, Sir Joshua stated that he wee present at the debates omen most of them, and took occasion to record his vote upon 97. (Hear, bear.) He then went on to say I have never sought to pander to the wishes of any particular clan, but have given my efforts towards the advancement of that great mass which forms the substratum of the commit nity, and up_sa wooer prosperity tee well-being of the whole depends. Yy vote on the cosine may be deemed at mi mic* with my public declaration ; yet it was net so. Whilst I raver doubted the just.ce of that propositicn I did doubt its expediency ; and 1 therefore relied to sup port it if only six others could be found to do so. When fifteen including that veteran relormer Joseph Hume, grave in their adhesion, 1 formed one, and I believe its adoption would tend to ensure the peace, safety, and prosperity of the empire. (Hesr.) The labour question hashed my moat anxious and careful con sideration, and I see no reason to altos my previously ex pensed opinion on the subject. I have not altered my opi isios. I still contend, as I did when I first mot you, and shaU do to the end, in favour of that bill which is now the law of the lend. (Cheers.) I have not bees honoured with a great deal of local businee, though my kind and good friend (the Chairman) says I have attended to it verj will However, I have endeavoured to perform it to the beet of my ability ; and 1 hope and trust there has been no seal cause to complain, and that there will be. I promised to serve tile interests of my constituents, as far as they were consistent with the well. being of the whole community ; and so long as I am able, I will do so with all my heart and seal. (Cheers.) Gentleman, the Chairman has alto referred to another point—patronage and place-hunting. I say, away with them; I will have none of them. (Loud cheers.) opinions upon general po2tice are so well known that I need scarcely repeat them here. After niention?cg the impossibility of • return to protean= Sir Joshua said —They would desire us to take off certain, burdens which the landed interest pay. Well, if they do pay sorbing more than their neighbours, let us, in common justice, take it off. We &requite willing. but I apprehend they well move for a committee of inquiry lute that nut int. It would be well if those gentlemen would not try to juggle the question. They say then an certain burdens which they beer that ought to be ',moved, and put upon the consolidated fund. What dose the consolidated land mean? fee consolidated fund means. Mende, neither more Am Ina than this—that the burden shall be removed from their heck, and plead on your shoulders and mine. I went them to give us some proof of the faith that is in them. Let them give the people • fair share of political right, and see how t ey will use it. la reference to the op.:teeny for parliannutary and financial reform, the honourable member rensuind :—lf we go into the lobby of the house on any question, 16, 18, or 20 of us, who are united under any popular measure—and there are n more the 90, with 200 or 401 against us—the voice of in. popsies constituencies is practically lost. (Hear.) When we have only 16, 20, or 80 votes on questions such as the Moaner, universal suffrage, and elverenratie, you ma nn have muck chance in that bowie. What must you do to change that ? Elect men, throughout the country, from one end to the other, and support men, who will fairly and honestly contend foe your rights. (Cheers.) The inquali ues, anomalies, and absurdities of toe present system of re. pneumatics, are beyond the power 01 the moat indulgent to justify. We are told that the system weeks well now. For ' whom ? Does it wont well for the nation ? Lord John hue. sell tells you that the system works well—many great states au tell you the same; but does it work well for the people I (Applause.) No; but I will tell you for whom it does work well; for the privileged few. (Cheers.) They divide .11 the places of trust, emolument, and profit, amongst them selves. It works well when places are to be given away amongst anbanadors, for Mutsu. We wed an amban sador to Washington, at a salary of 6,60 W. • year— to represent what? British interests? In what? The President of the United States has only 6,0001. a year. (Hear, hear.) Why, we have governors le various colonies with 3 ,0001., , 4,0001, 6,0001., 6,0001., up to 13,0001. a year. (Hear, hear.) Look at the govern), of the United States: the sale there is 2,0001. ow 3,0001. Are they represented the worse for that? Is not United States isthiecee as deeply felt in any pin of the world se Nuclide influence, even if backed by the taros% Sat that 0000 existed? The speaker then exhorted his hearers to sequin political education that they might examine for themselves every question that comes be lore them. (Cries of "Hear, hear.) 1 marled tone such is the case with the great mass of the industrial classes. They are reading hard, and we must continue to read hard if we would not be behind. (Cheers.) I hope that those who hear no this eveslag, if they have any faith in the principles that 1 have endeavoured to enunciate—if they have any determination to do justice to their fellow men—to extend to them the same political privileges, the same rights ' they themselves possess—l hope that, as my friends end con stituents, they will aid in the great work. (Loud applause.) I hope to see thousands of the people carolling their names in that amociatioa, until it has acquired such mighty force that no parliament will have power looser to deny your rights. (Cheers.) Win and gentlemen, lam now ready to answer any question of a public character, and if there Is any point in my pezliamentary career in which you think I have r.eglected my duty (and I believe no men can whim it as completely as he would wish) I am ready to gins you an explanation. (Cheers.) I Steak you !nastily for the kind meaner in which you bare heard me ; and, as I said at the commeausent of lay address, I shall continue here for several days, mod mime lat ehrwii ready le give a full explanation gamy entiments on eray *Oh reeetion.

After the usual pr. limitary business, The CHAIRMAN said that they were aware that the present meeting had been called for the purpoes of giving them another opportunity of re-comaidering the report by the directors, read at a meeting two or three weeks ago, which had been dissolved, under the impression that it was not legally constituted. There seemed to be a differ race of °plaices as to that point—nom- parties saying that twenty sharehrlden, who Lad pats up the whole of their calls, were not necessary to eonstrtute • meeting, and that it only affected the Toney:. However, be that as it might, it had been thought better to call another meeting to afford them fall opportunity of expressing their opinion oa the two enhiscss contained in the report. The CHAIRMAN then moved that the directors should be authorised to complete the agreement with the Messrs. Burns, which was seconded by Mr. W. CAM resLL, and una nimousl speed to. The CHAIRMAN also moved that the application pro posed to be made to parliament in the ensuing session be not proceeded with. Mr. YUILLE seconded the motion, which was also carried. The CHAIRMAN further moved that the directors should be instruct..l to complete the lies between Bow- ling and Locilumond, and to use all legal means for making available the funds requisite for this purpose. A good deal of discussion ensued, on a suggestion by Mr. Galbraith, that a committee of three or tour gentlemen should be appointed to co operate wilt the directors in making good the arrears of calls. Mr. Pater Blackburn sad other shareholders eapreued their opinion that the fifteen directors were already numerous enough for this purpose, and toot the proposal, it carried out, could only tend to embarrass their proceedings ; while Mr. Shaw and others stated that then was an idea abroad of favouritism cn the part of the directors, who, likewise, had not sufficient kcal knowledge. Ultimately, the Chairman's motion was pat and earned; aad Mr. Oulbraith's proposal was negatived by a majority of 16 to B.—The meeting thee separated. MIDLAND.-FINANCIAL STATEMENT TO THE PROPRIETORS.

The protectionist movement in Ireland, though so thoroughly disoomilted in what were deemed the landlords' strongholds, is still worthy of a few words. There is something bold, animating, and encouraging in the way in which it has been put down ; and the events of the last week or two would show that popular spirit in Ireland "is not dead, but only sleeps." The account of the county of Down meet ing, which was transmitted from Dublin yesterday, as the only one that had been received from the north, would of course be Understood as emanating from a very prejedicod protec tionist source. Its tone, in that respect, was too marked to be mistaken ; but it seems that it was also erroneous in describing the meeting as having been adjourned to the county room, the High Sheriff, Mr. Keown, having retaintd the chair until he put Mr. Sharman Cruwford's amendment, and die solved the meeting in due form. The defeat of the Marquis of Downshire and his knot of friends was thud= complete. The Evening Post gives, from a correspoadent• the following account of a second defeat which the pro tectionists of Wexford have encountered: Banisoorthy, Jan. 9.—The county of Wexford landlords, this day, sustained one of the most signal defeats perhaps ever recorded is the annals of cultural strife. The adjourned protection meeting was this day held, and, although every effort was made to bring forward a number of taunts to swell the ranks, the free trade party so utterly overwh e lmed them, that the landlords at ones proposed a compromise and finally agreed to propose the amendment of the free traders. This woo done by Charles A. Walker. Esq., and seconded by Francis Davis, Seq. foes of the most extensive millers in the loath of Ireland), en the part of the free traders, and was carried with coolassation. The term " protection," in its ordinary sense, was not even used ; sad a more unanimous feeling In favour of full and unrestricted free trade was never suutifested, even in the great hall at Manchester. At the meeting of the North Riding of Ti held at Nertagh this week, although it is referred to as a triumph by the protectionists, the chief object in view was the reduction of taxation, and all connexion with the Glengall movement was repudiated by the principal speaMte.

It was also alkyl that the blade. stamped in the manner eon• plained of had bees made for the purpose of exportation to the oversee ; sad it was urged that there was no ground whatever for the court to grant an injunction in a ease like the present, where the defendants had submitted at one* to desist from the alleged grievance. Mr. Smart and Mr. Barker appeared for the motion, and Mr. Bothell and Mr. Horton contra. The Vice Chancellor said be coosidered that the plaintiffs' title to use the trade mark in question was suMninaly esta blished, and the can came to this, that the plaintiffs bad Co rinna that there had been a piracy of the mark, and whs. Um the defendants were more or less privy to ell the dr enutances did not signify. His opinion was that when the glciatiffs that rude the discovery they had a right to an Injunction against the didnidente, and they had a right to some security front the defendan ts that what had been done should not occur again, but no such security bad been given, and he did not see that anything which had taken place same the first discovery by the plaintiffs had in any manner taken away from them the right to an injunction at the pre• sent time. He should therefore grant the motion. COURT OF QUERN'S BENCH,—YESTEHDAT. This being the first day of Hilary tens, the court, consist ing of Mr. Justioe Patteaon, Mr. Justice Coleridge, and Mr. Justice Wightman, set at ten o'clock. Mr. Justice l'atteson said that it had been fully expected that Lord Denman would be present at the sitting of the court this terns, but owing to the serious illness of Lady Denman in Derbyshire, he did not feel himself Justified I. leaving her. LLaaddy Denmaa's illness had, however, taken so favourable a turn as to give every reason to hope that Lord Denman would be enabled to resume his place in a short time. TIM QUIZI O. HAIDT.-AIDITIATION IN AN INDICT- MINT lox PLILIVIIT. Mr. Keene showed cause against a rale, which had beer obtained last term, calling on the defendant to show cause why an attachment should not issue against him for prose cuting • suit in equity, and whether he had not committed • contempt in revoking the authority of are arbitrator, or why he should not pay certain costs, or why the verdict of not guilty should not be set 'aide, and writs of procedendo lathe. The object of the rule was to enforce a reference to arbitration made under an order of Niel Prim at the trial of en indictment for perjury. A bill was filed on the 18th of March, 1847, for an injunction to restrain certain parties from receiving certain monies, and for the appoint ment of a receiver. Affidavits were filed, and two indictments were preferred at the Central Criminal Court, one for per jury in the affidavits, and another for conspiracy in concocting the accouats which were the ground of the mit. The indictments were removed into this court by certiorari, the venue of one being laid in Middlesex and the other in Lon don. Tho one in Middlesex was tried before Mr. Justice Wightman, when a verdict of net guilty was entered, sub ject to the award of en arbitrator, to whom all mitten in difference were referred. It was now contended that an indictment for perjury could not be made the subject of • reference by order of Nisi Prius, inasmuch as it was not an indictment as for en offence which might also be made the subjr ct matter of a civil action ; and that, there fore a reference, was in effect, a stifling of public justice. Sir F. Thesiger, Mr. Hurbitone, and Mr. Foster, appeared in support of the rule; hut, before they could be heard, the court adjourned. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.-YESTERDAY.

JUDICI WILUMM To-day being the first day of Hilary Term, their lordships took their seats on the bench at half-past 10 o'clock. LBLDIIII AND OTILIMII 0. STILAiOI.—COPYRIGHT. This was an radon which was tried before the Lord Chief Justice at the sittings at lasi prim in Middlesex rater last Michaelmas Term, when a verdict was found for the plain tiffs, with sentinel damage,. The action was brought against the defendant, a bookseller and music pub:isher, carrying on has business in Paternoster-row, (or having infringed the copyright of the plaintiffs by selling copies of a certain song mined "My boyhood's love, enchanting theme," which formed part of an opera which was first published in German under the name of ' Der Furster, " known in France by the name of "Lathe en Peine," and brought out at the Prin. Mos'. Theatre under the title of t• Leoline." The plaintiffs were not the original proprietors of the opera, but were the assignees of the copynght. Mr. Serjeant Byles, on behalf of the defendant, now moved, pursuant to leave reserved, for a rule to show cause why the verdict should not be set aside, and a verdict re graded for the defendant, or why a consult should not be entered. The learned aerjeant stated the declaration alleged that the song in question was a musical composition ; that there was a subsisting copyright in it at the time when the alleged infringement took place, and that the plaintiffs were the proprietors of the copyright. The jury found that the defendant did not print the musical publication, it being proved that it was printed at • printer's in Holtarn ; and also that, although the defendant published the song in question, yet be did net de so with a guilty knowledge that it had been unlawfully printed. The verdict was entered he the plaintiffs upon the first plea of the defendant which was " not guilty," and the learned serjeant now submitted that upon the finding of the jury with respect to the printing Yd the publication of the song, the defendant was entitled In a verdict upon the plea of not guilty. The Copy , light Act was the 6th and 6th of Victoria, rap. 46, and by the 16th section of that act it was provided that if any person in any part of the British domi , Wass printed, or caused to be printed, or exposed, or caused Ite be exposed, fcr sale or hire, any book, do., which should be the subject of copyright, he should be liable to certain penalties mentioned in the act. The act also provided that Eperson who should unlawfully print, or cause to be Minted, any book imported frem parts beyond the seas ' or ing the book to have been unlawfully printed orint ported, and should sell it, or cause it to be sold, or expose it, or cause it to be exposed, for eats or hire, should be liable to certain penalties mentioned in the act. It was upon this section of the act of parliament that the declaration was framed, and the learned serjeant now contended that, upon the finding of the jury, it was clear the defendant had not infringed the provisions of the Copyright Act. It was now further argued, on behalf of the defendant, that the pida tiffs were not in a position to maintain an action for an Gwent of copyright, because the form of the entry Made y the plaintiffs at Stationers' Hall was not correct. In that entry the word proprietor was used, and the learned serjeant now submitted that by proprietor was meant the author of the work or publication, and not as in the present instance, a case where persons be came proprietors of a publi cation by assignment. The third section of the 6th and 6th of Vic , eap. 45, of the Copyright Act provided that the copy right of a work should endure for the life time of the author, and for seven years after his death, but was not to exist for more than 42 years altogether, and if the assignees of • copyright were to be entered at Stationers' Hall as proprie ton, no person going to the Stamp-office could tell how long the copyright would have to exist, and it would have the effect of prolonging the copyright over the proper time. The court expressed an opinion that this objection of the learned serjeaat wee not a tenable one, because the entry at Stationers' Hall was only a preliminary proceeding. The objection could not now be made, as it was one which the defendant ought to have pleaded. Mr. Serjeant Bylaw, after taking another objection, which the court also overruled, said that he would rely upon the first point which he had made, namely, that the defendant was entitled to • verdict upon the finding of the jury upon the plea of not guilty. Upon this point the court said they would grant • rule nisi. Mr. Berjeant Ryles said besides taking the rule in the form which he had mentioned, he would have a rule to show cause why judgment should not be arrested, and he would take the rule in the alternative. Rule nisi granted. COURT OF EXCHEQUER.—TEEITERDAT. emcees a Bunco. The court sat yesterday sensing at 10 o'clock. The judges for the present term are Sir F.

Bill GIORGI GREY, BART., AND ANOTHEIR. ----- This was an action of trespass, brought to recover damages from the Secretary of State for the Home Department and Mr. Hudson, governor of the Queen's Bench Prison, for swanking the plaintiff, and removing him from one department of the prison to another, where he was subjected to more restraint and privation. The defendants pleaded " not guilty by statute," and a justification. A general verdict saving passed for the &doodads, • motion was subsequently made for a new trial on various grounds. The result was that, after a lengthened discussion of the questions raised, the defendant's counsel consented, at the suggestion of the court, that • verdict should be entered fee the plaintiff on the issue raised by the I first plea, and for the defendants on the plea of justification. On the 17th of December last the taxation of costa was cone , manned, and a question having arisen as to the costa to which the plaintiff was entitled under the circum stances, the proceedings were adjourned for two days. In the interval • eertificate was obtained from the Lord Chief Baron, before whom the cause was tried, stating that the defindaata had probable rause for pleading • the plea of "not 'silty," cad the officer held in consequence that the plaintiff was not entitled to full mete of the haus on which the verdict was emoted for him. Mr. Cohhett moved now in person for a rule calling on the dereadaate to Mow same why the officer should not revisor hie taxation, on the ground that the °mitigate of the learned juke should have been granted at the trial, if at all , and that it ought not to have been an at any time upon an expert* opplication. lite Court took tints to consider. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.—YrarazDAy, Room Ma. CONNINNONIR Powswicura. IN RN ELLIOTT. G. Elliott , taker, Islington, came up by adjournment to paw his last examination. His liabilities are about 3,00 W. Mr. Ili 'bury opposed for the assignees. The adjournment had taken piece to obtain from the bankrupt a full state ment of his building society transactions. On this point the assignees were satisfied ; bat the discovery of a lot of paper. in his premises relating to some building operations in the Caledonian-road required further exp:anatton. The bankrupt was examined at considerable length, but the details were uninteresting. Mr. Lawrence urged that the objections came rather late, and that the bankrupt had rendered all the assistance in his power to the mesiguees. The examination win ultimately further adjourned. Ix II BLAIN AND PEARCI.—VAVINALL GIARDINI!. This was the adjourned last examination meeting in the ease of Blain and Pearce, late lessees of Vauxhall Gardens.

His Hemenr gave indgment this morning, on an applicit lien made, a few days ago, by Mr. W. Kvkman, to be removed from the assigneeship In the can of Hughes(lon and Mackay, merchants of Calcutta, on the ground that he dis approved of the proceeding's of his co-ivoignees. The removal was treated as a matter of right by the counsel for the appli cant ; and he (the Commissuoner) had beat disposed, in the tint instance, to yield to that opinion, not knowing the practice of the Court of Review in that respect. But on locking over the books he could not find one case on the subject. It appeared that Messrs. Henderson had acted as the London agents of the bankrupts, and claimed to be credi tors for upwards of 20,0001. The question turned on the validity of the sale of two cargoes of goods, by Messrs. Hen derson, of London, to Messrs. Hendenon, of Liverpool. The opinion of two eminent Queen's counsel had been taken, and they had directed four actions to be brought, one of which had been commenced. He was clearly of opinion that no sufficient reason had been shown for the disehari,e of Mr. Kirkman. Books Ma. Common= Munn). CHARGE OP MALICIOUSLY COMMENCINO PROCEEDINGS IN BANERVI.TCY. Mr. Bagley appeared in support of a petition presented under the 267th section of the new act, which is as follows " That if the debt stated by the petitioning creditor in his effidavit, or in his petition for adjudication, and verified by affidavit, to be due to him from any trader, shall not be really due, Sr if after a fist issued, or petition for aajudica tion of bankruptcy filed, it shall not have been proved that the person against whom such fiat has been issued or peti tion filed had committed an act of bankruptcy, and was • trader at the time of the issuing of the fiat or filing of such petition, and it shall also appear that such fiat was issued or that such petition was filed fraudulently or maliciously, the court shall and may, upon . petition of the pers.as against whom any such fiat or petition was so issued or filed, exa mine into the same, and order satisfaction to be made to him for the damages by him sustained." The petitioner, Mr. Richard Moore, was a commission agent and dealer in beer. Previous to 1817 he had acted as agent to M . Thorne and Co., brewers, of Westminster, when that firm underwent some cliange. In January, 1819, Mr. W. Hawes, one of the new partners in the firm, pro posed a reduction in Mr. Moors's allowance, hom 12 to about 6 per cent. He was diasatisfiA, and ceased to be employed by them, at the same time ceasing to deal with them for beer. He had since been employed by Messrs. Wood and Co. Toe petition alleged that there were hostile and vin dictive feelings entertained towards him by his former em ployers. They commenced enaction against him for • balance due of 1221. ; but just before trial Mesas. Thorne counter manded the notice of trial, and the cause ha I never come on. The new act soon after coming into operation, Mr. Moore was served with a summons in bankruptcy for 3731. ' • he ap peared, and admitted a d e bt o f 2691 ., p l ea di ng t h at he had a good defence as to the remainder. Seven days after the ser vice of the summons, on the 24th Nov., Mr. Moore sent to the office of Messrs. Thorne to tender the debt; none of the partners being to be found, he sent it to Mr. Thorne's house, but it was refused. Oa the 27th a petition for an ahjudica tion in bankruptcy was filed, Mr. W. Hawes, one of the part ners, making affidavit that Mr. Moore had committed au act of bankruptcy. The next day a letter was sent from the firm inquiring whether Mr. Moore was still prepared to pay the 2431., and it was accordingly paid over to the clerk, who gave a receipt for it. The petition in bankruptcy was allowed to stand over, and nothirg was ever done under it. Mr. Moore now complained, under the 267th section, denying that he had ever committed an act of bankrutitcy, and charged Mr. Hawes with improp-rly receiving his debt after he had taken proceedings in the Court of Bankruptcy. It was clear there had been no act of bankruptcy, the debtor having complied with the act by tendering payment of the portion of debt which he ad mitted within the prescribed period of seven days. Then the question arose whether the fact of filing an affidavit, declaring • person to have committed an act of bankruptcy who had not done so, was not an offence against the banarupt law, as well u a serious injury to the person against whom such pro ceedings were taken. The Commissioner—The question is, whether it was done fraudulently and mischievously. Mr. Bagley said the law always implied malice where the circumstances were such as so show it ; but here there was clear and undeniable evidence of malice. The learned gen tleman proceeded to read affidavits in proof of this ; but the application being wholly ex parte, we omit the particulars The court was now asked to judge whether the conduct of Messrs. Thorne had not been such as to call for explanation, both in respect to their commencing proceedings and their receiving the amount of the tender after they had filed their petition against Mr. Moore. Should the court be of opinion that this proceeding had been commenced, not to obtain a distribution of the trader's asset, but to harass and injure him, it was entitled to call on t he parties for explanation, under the 267th section. The c urse now pursued by the court would doubtless be • guide for future proceedings, and would become a precedent of great importance. His Honour said the 267th section was not a new enact ment, but merely rave a new jurisdiction. After reading the section, he said his judgment would not debar the appli cant from his common law remedy, of commencing an action against the parties. The court must be satisfied that the petition of Messrs. Thorne had been filed fraudulently or maliciously, and that it had injured Mr. Moore. The evi dence did not satisfy him of the former ; the circumstances stated did not go to the extent of showing malice. Had a good legal tender of the sum due been clearly proved, and a refusal, and a subsequent filing of a petition in bankruptcy, malice might have been inferred. Late in the evening of Saturday, a clerk was sent with the money to the brewery, hut none of the partners being there, he goes to the private resi dence of Mr. Thorne, who refers him to Mr. Hawes, as the managing partner ; but he did not go there. On the Tues day following (the 27th) the petition in bankruptcy was tiled against Moore, which might be legally justified on the sup position that the tender was not a good one, and that conse quently Moore had committed an act of bankruptcy ; but there was no evident* to show fraud or malice. There was no specific allegation of damage sustained in this case ; and as the petition had been allowed to remain above fourteen days without anything being done under it, it was virtually superseded, for no further step could be taken under it. The cue was not one of that clear nature in which the court could conclude that the petition was tiled in malice, though augment the cost to the applicant by calling on Messrs.

IN KZ BURTON AND BULFIN.-FORCED SALEL The bankrupts carried on so extensive business u linen drapers and silk mercers, in Dalton. The debts amount to upwards of 20. f OW., and assets to the amount of between 7,0001. and 8.0001. have been realised. This was the cer tificate meeting. Mr. Manion appeared for the assignees; Mr. Lawrence for the bankrupt.. The chief ground of opposition urged was that the bank runts had sold vast quantities of goods by public auction, the result being a large law. Mr. Commissioner Molroyd, in giving judgment, strongly reprehended the practice of traders &Toeing of their goods otherwise than in the ordinary course of their business; and after giving the bankrupts full credit for the extenuating circumstances urged by Mr. Lawrence, particularly the large amount of assets delivered up by the bankrupts on their failure, he, the learned commissioner, felt himself bound to suspend the certificate for twelve months.

Joel, 25, described as a jeweller, was indicted for feloniously forging and uttering an acceptance to a bill of exchange for 1,0001., with intent to defraud John Manua Clements. Mr. Clarkson, Mr. Bodkin, and Mr. Buddlesions, were for the prosecution. The prisoner was defended by Mr. M. Chambers, and Mr. Ballantine. Mr. Clarkson, in opening the case, said that the prosecu tor was the son of Col nel Clemente, who had formerly represented one of the Irish counties in parliament, and was also connected with the noble family of that name in Ireland, and the Marge he made against the prisoner wm that he had forged, or rather that he had uttered, for he believed the evidence would only support that portion of the chur l a bill of ex change for 1,0001., bearing upon it the forge d aomptenoe of the prosecutor. The prisoner had formerly carried on the business of a jeweller and money lender in Dublin, and, in 1847, at which period the prosecutor wee with his regiment, the 13th Light Dragoons, in that city, they were Introduced to each other, and a great umber 91 4 I V ":
