wide dictum—•• we are not here to administer the law, but to act as Magistrates. Give me the papers, ind 111 cut this Gordon (meaning Gordian) knot. I shall sign for Mr. Archer ;" although, in truth, Mr. Arehet was not the person, but Mr. B icon, who applied. Mr. Mayhew stated, that he was the more ccnfident as to those particulars, because he made a memo random of them the morning after the !ransack!). lie said, that many of the customers - of the inn had refused to attend it if the license were delayed any longer; and averred, that much more had been stated by Mr. M•Lachlan and Culonel Bramsby ; but as they did not appear to gain anything by their interference, I peter:4story refusal was given to the claim of Mr. Mayhew, and the order signed for Archer, or rather for Bacon. The inn was then put up for sale, and bought in at 4,4804 being far below its real value. There was, it 4ppeated, a mortgage clue to Archer of 1,0001. in addition to the 5001. that had been transferred by him ; but a person of the name of Baker had also a mortgage of 1,5001• and he had stated his anxiety to'bave the or der made out to Mayhew; so that Mayhew, besides being assignee, represented property to the extent of 3,0001. while Archer oily represented. 1,0001. While Mayhew was acting for a number of persons, Archer was acting only for himself. Colonel Branson had said he could do nothing, but that it was evident the Ma gistrates only granted the license to protect Archer, their clerk. _ . Mr. Justice Bavt.Ev--The license should only havebee n granted to those who could conduct the business well. Mr. BROUGHAM said, Mr. Mayhew claimed priority as acting for the creditors, but asserted that the only object of the Magistrates was to protect Archer, their clerk, while Mayltew's duty was to protect all the creditors. Mr. Justice BAYLEY—Let us see where lies the cor ruption. Mr. BROUGHAM said, that was the point he was arriv ing at. When Colonel Branston, said the Magistrate, granted the license to protect Archer, their clerk, Mr. Crabhe, replied, " exactly so, that was our object." Now this, he (Mr. Brougham) contended, was a corrupt and sinistir inducement. They granted it to him as an individual creditor, who ought not to have been favoured at the espence of the rest. Mr. Justice Bartsv—lf they thought he could carry bn the business hitter than another, they were justified. Mr. Bacivonam—Bet, my Lord, be could not carry it on at all. As the assignee under the commission, he proceeded to sell the house without the licence, Bacon not having refused cet tarn terms proposed by the Com missioner s. Mr. Justice BAYLRY—Does Mayhew say he would have catried on the business blench? Mr. Beoutmast—Yes, my Lord, he swears that he would so have done if he had been unable to sell it to advantage for the creditors, or else'he would have put in some one to carry it on for the creditors. Mr. Justice BAYLBY—You say Bacon was out of pns lessiell; but if Mayhew had consented he would have gone in. Mr. BaoIJOHAM —He was not a sufficiently substan tial man ; if he had once got in it would have been very difficult to get him out. The two Magistrates had signed the certificate, recommending Bacon to themselves as a proper person to be chosen; and Mr. Mayhew stated that he verily believed they refused the license to him, not in the proper discharge of their duty, but tort uptly, and in order to give an undue preference to their clerk. If they had given it to one who could carry on the business properly, instead of one who could not, the property would have been worth two or three thousand pounds to the creditors more than it brought. MI. May. hew, therefore, thus applied to their Lordships, because Ile Could adopt no other course. He could not apply fir a Mandamus, and he (Mr. B.) only recollected one instance in which it had been applied tor, and then the tule was discharged. He believed he had shewn that the Magistrates had corruptly acted, and with intent to give an undue preference to their own clerk. The house was now shut up entirely. Mr. Justice BST ay—lf you bad suffered Bacon to go in, such would not have been the case. Lord TINTaaDaN—You may take a rule to shew cause, but you must do so at your peril; Mr. Brougham, you know the consequences. Mr. BRouotts►t—Oh, yes, my Lord, I am aware of the consequences that may attend on preferring a charge against Justices of the Peace. Rule to shew cause granted. Mr. CAPAPDLLL moved fora Rule to show cause why an information in the nature of quo warranto, should not be issued to Francis Hughes, Esq. calling upt.n him to show by what right he discharged the office of May( r of S:afford. The rule was moved for on the ground of a defect in the election under the New Charter.—Rule granted. CRIMINAL INIIJRMATION. Mr.Framamit, the Banister, said he tote with wounded feelings, such as had induced him to appear before their Lordships yesterday, and with an equally agitated mind. It was, however, his duty to move for a rule to chew cause why a criminal information should not be filed against persons calling themselves J. Barry, and Co. of Bride•court, Fleet•street, and against other per. sons, named J.Robins & Co. of Ivy-lane, - Paternoster-row. Mr. Justice BAYLEY—You can't move against Co. Mr. FIRENCH—The names are not mentioned, my Lord. They ate net publishers of a newspaper, but ot a weekly publication. The Act of Parliament requires that their names shou!d be registervd in Sonter set-home, but no such names appear there, for I have searched. I dont know their Christian names, but I take them as they appear on the libel. Lord TUNTILRDYN—They must have names, and there must be persons acquainted with them. Have you made inquiry? Mr. FPRZNCH—I have, my Lnrd, and one says one thing, and one another. I cannot find out their names. Lord TiNTERSEN—They must hive names, and you must know the names of the parties you wish to rule, you are not in a condition to apply for it. Mr. FPRENCH —They call thernselvesJ—, and their names may be J, for aught I know to the contrary. J is a name in France. Mr. Justice BAYLEY—Bat no such name is known in England. Lord TIiNTIRDEN—NOII must condescend to seek your rtile on the same terms as others. Mr. Frnenett—Then, may I mention this case to morrow ? Lord TraTlßDlNT—Certaini7 r or whenever you arr. in a condition so to dn; but you must come prepared with proper materials. We cannot grant a rule against Cu. Mr. Fragra_ctr-0 no ; L must not say a word abort Co. PREROGATIVE COURT, N0v.25. JAU MN AGAINST COCK AND OTHERS. This was a suite to decide the •alidity of an alleged codicil to the will of MI s. Lydia Ellison of York. The circumstances of the case are rather singular. The testatrix, a woman of somewhat eccentric character, died at York in May, 1826, in consequence of tri acci dent which happened to her a day or two previous. During the confusion occasiowed by that occorrence. several mangers get admissive Mt& the house, and some wetting apparel, as well ass few sovereigns, were missed, together with a micros old pocket-book, in which the testatrix kept her private papers, and which she always carried about a ish her. Suspicion fell upon the rune. The testatrix had esecoted a will in the year 1796; the property she left was considerable, the per-I srinalty amounting to the sum of WOOL. Some Months'' after her death, her executor, Mr. Jameson, received a letter, with the London post mark, of which, ma literary curiosity, en exact tops is subjoined:—" Sir, i am the person who horn nercety take the two sotireins i found at Mrs. Ellison's house, also the paper, but cannot get no rest; the soeteins is gone, and i hope you'll forgive that, but this paper is sent along way of, because she durst give it you for fear. Hop pin all is right, and no person to take barns, i shall hear on it friim your humble servant, I shall never do so no more, don't tell Mrs. Robinson.—Sept. 8, 1826." In this letter was enclosed a scrap of dirty paper, in which was written, in penciLthe codicil now propounded, which h id originally commenced as a letter to the eon. &lentilsl solicitor of the testatrix: .6 Mr. Wether by, Sir." This had been erased, and the deceased declared that she left her house at York, and her money in the funds, between Mrs. Cook, of Great Beddow • Mr. Ed* are Ball, of Stamford•street, London; Mrs. Warkinson, of Burwell; Mrs. Warn, Mrs. Nenn (if living). The paper was paper was dived "York, August 3, 1824." The COURT, afttr hearing the arguments of no less than six learned Advocates engaged in the canse,rejected the paper, winch it held to be impossible to regard as a testamentary document, and decreed probate to the will of 1796. • SMITH AGAINST BLAKE. Dr. DODSON moved the Court, on behalf of-General RobeitLindley Blake, the defendant in this suit, to re scind the conclusion of the cause, and to admit his allegation. The defendant was a legatee to the amount of 6,0001. under a will of the late Dowager Lady Blake, who died the 13th of March la.t, leaving property to he amount of 16,0001. General Blake sought to set aside this will, propounded by the Rev. Hugh Smith, the executor, in favour of a former wall, which cause was to come on to•day. The Learnt d Counsel read an afff. davit from General 'Blake in support of the application. Dr. LUSHINOTON opposed the motion—the defendant had caused his party great trouble in the service of the usual notice. by keeping hii address from :hem ; and although be had bad ample time to take the necessary steps, he delayed till just before the beating of the cause. Sir JOHN Nrcnott. said that it would be'contrary to justice, and a great oppression to the other party. to comply with this motion; he must reject it, and proceed to pronounce sentence in tic cause. The Learned Judge saw no reason to doubt the validity of the pill pro pounded, and pronounced for it accordingly; PALACE COURT, Nev. 23. DOBELL V JONSS. Th's wPs an action brought by the plaintiff, who is a linendraper, upon a bill of exchange for 1.51. 6s. 7d. given by the defendant, as a security for the payment of that sum, contracted for goods sold and delivered. Mr. Ross conducted the caserOhitlf of the plaintiff. It appeared ft om the state men( pande and evidence ad. duced, that the defendant had been seduced from the home of her parents, by a person reptesenting himself as Capt. Moore, about ''2 years back, she being then about 16 years of age, and lived with him for about 12 months in Milford-place, Edgeware-road, during which time she was introduced by a respectable person, and dealt with the plaintiff. During her stay at Milford.place, she paid her bills : subsequently, from same alteration of ciicumstances, she removed to the house of a Mrs. Timberlake, in York-pLice,.Bryanston•squate, occupy ing her fir►t Rim, obese she received the visits of more than one Gentleman, and where the present debt was , contracted. Mr. FLANNAGAN contended that the defendant was not liable. Lord Mansfield had decided, in the case of Williams and Watson," that a minor could not be a party in law to such an instrument as a bill of exchange; that plaintiff knew he was to be paid from the wages of the defendant's iniquity ; and that in no point of view were silks, silk stock'ngs, icc. proper necessaries to be supplied to so young a person, without the express con currence of her friends or relations. The Learned Jurics briefly recapittila•ed the evi• dente, and observed that Lard Kenyon had decided, in a case where a mintr, taking up his residence at ai. Ho el, c ritracted a debt fur a suit of clothes with a tailor, who afterwards brought his• action, but was nonsuited, it was not necessaries which could le recovered for, unless it could clearly be *hewn that they were supplied upon the consent or sanction of the per. sons having the paternal custody cr controul of the minor." There was some calico and flannel charged in the bill. lie would leave it to the Jury to consider, after the explanation he had given, and the evidence t!.ey had heard, whether such things were or were not necessaries, and return a verdict accordingly. The Jury retired about ten minutes, taking IA ith them the pl.intirs bill of articles supplied, arid on their return into Court, gave a verdict for the plaintiff for 121. Subtequently to the rising of the Court, Mr. FLAN PAGAN, the defendant's Counsel, moved for a rule to slier, cause why there should not be a new trial granted upon three distinct grounds, via. That by the decision of Lord NI msfield, the cause of action merged in the bill, st hich was clearly an illegal instrument.- 2dly, That no such thing as necessaries supplied to minors living in a state of open prostitution or de bauchery, could be known or recognized by the law ; 0 and 3dly, That the verdict had been given both against law and evidence.—Mule granted. • In a case before Lord Ellenborough, It was decided that even persons purchasing, on credit, goods for t►e pbrpose of supplying them to others to commit prostitution.such debt was not recoverable, although in that case t►e evidence of the fact was but slight. The body of Lowe, who was executed on Thursday for coining, was conveyed to his late residence in St. (i lees where it was exhibited by his wife. Many of t' e 'spectators contributed their mites to the widow, who, after they were gone, fell asleep, when one of the can dies which su rounded the body set file to the sh,et which covered ir. The door was forced, when the p-or woman and her infant were h and nearly in a state of suffocation; and one side of the head and two fingers of the corpte bur nt.to cinders. The flames were, how ever, speedily suppressed, but not till the interior of the room and great part of the furniture vete destroyed. • Wednesday evening, about six o'clock, a man and two women came driving along Old-street-road in a chaise cart, in such a furious manner, that on their at. riving at the corner of Bunhill row, the horse, which appeared to be under no management, came violently against a fruit stall ; and before the poor woman who belonged to it could get out of the way, she was knocked down, the wheel of the vehicle passing over her body. Both the upper part of her legs were shockingly frac tured. and the spine of her back most mien*, injured. POLICE INTELLIGENCE Ai ANSIQW.SIIOUSS.

The prisoner came op to the door in a hackney cinch, and, walking in with an air of authority, said to Mr. Newailtam, " You koo, me, Sir ; you will pay nay coach, hire." Mr. N.

Mr. Newubam got out of his way, and obtaining assistance, sent him ,off to the Cumpter. lie had beets burthensonte to the Farads fin sonic years, and had been treated by some of the Parish (Iffi,eis as au insure , man. Others had believed him to be of sound mind.

He.was the natural son of a Captain holland, and had no friends. lie had horn a steward of several men of war, and bad been a clerk in the C ~,,, minariat at the Cape; but having the misfortune to fall down the hatchway of the Semiramis, and injure his head, he became melaneboly. was shut up for months in hurrows's Lunatic Asylum at Hooton, and was reduced to a wretched state ot pauperi•m.

The defendant did not appear. Henry Bond, the guard, stated that thy defendant was very much intoxicated when he mounted his boa at the gables this side of Hounslow. The witness then mentioned various accidents t bad occurred. When they were about two miles and a half ftM Hounslow, the defendant ran the coach into a heap of stones and nearly upset it. Three of the horses fell, and the harness was a* damaged that the witness was only able. to pat two horses to the teach after it bad been disengaged from the stones.

A lad, in the service of Mr. Madducks, of Chancery-lane, was charged with stealing two gold watches, value 301. with which be allneled on the lath Instant. Float a description of his person, the prisoner was taken on Thursday evening in a public-house at Knightsbridge, with a pawnbroker's duplicate, referring to one of tie watches, in IS. pocket.—Remanded. Mother Jona,' portly looking dame, some years since , imported from the heart of North Wales to the interior of the Metropolis, where she carries on the pecan-Salon of fortune-telling, was brought before the Magistrates of this Office yesterday, to cuswer the com plaint of Mrs. Sarah Combs. From the statement of the complainant, it appears that Mrs. Kirby halting 30111 C doubts as to the conjugal fidelity of bre b.sband, sought the professional assisuuee of the defendant, to ascertain how far she was right in brommjectures. Mrs. Jones assured her that her ideas of her rib's frailty were but too true, and.that the com plainant was the person who robbed her of the affections of her liege lord and master. Inflamed with this intelligence, Mrs. Kitby, assisted by the defendant and several other women, went to the complainant's house, and abused and threatened her, wail her life was not worth a pin's point. She, however, took no notice of the circumstance theta. satisfied that there must have been some tida -1 take in the matter, as she protested she never saw the man whose affection she was supposed to have seduced. Every day since, however, she had been troubled in the same way. and at teat the defendant, on the preceding Tuesday, took up a pair of tongs, and threatened bee life, for seducing, as she said. the " honest woman's husband." Finding there was no chance of escape from the cruelty of this " petty warfare." she determined to seek the protecting' of the illagistrates, and bind the defendant over to keep the peace,— Mrs. Jones appeared quite dupl . :alien, and did not make any defence. The MAGIb ordered her to be locked up for want of bail. M A It LBO IiOU G hi. A man of the name of Morris was brought up under the following circumstances:— .%.r. Powis, oil merchant, Piccadilly, stated, that some days ago the prisoner came into his shop, and asked fur the head clerk, whom be said be knew. Mr. l'owis said that be was out at the time, but that he would be soon back. The prisoner then-said, that perhaps Mr. Powis himself would change a 40f. note for Lord Headley, from whom he had just got ij. Mr. Powis said he would, of course, oblige Lord Headley, and gave the change, the prisoner having endorsed the note with the name of Morris, as his own. Mr. Powis paid the note to his banker, who, on sandlot it to the Bank of Reiland, learned that directions bad been left there by Mr.Vines,thesolicitor,to have it stopped. It was then returned to Mr. P. who refused to give it up to filr.Vines,as by giving it up, be would tacitly acknowledge that be had Conic badly by it, as he bad given full value for It. He could not learn anything of the prisoner until that morning, when, oce of his clerks saw him going into a public house in the neighbourhood. A constable was sent for, who took himanto custody and brought him to this office. Lord Headley, when sent to about the note, was quite astonished, and declared he never had it in his possession, nor bad given any note to any mato get changed on the day in question, and alto that he knew no such, manas Mortis. The prisoner acknowledged that it was be gave the note to Mr. Powis, and got full change for It; but refuter to tell how or from whom be received it. Mr. Powis still refuses to give up the note, and Mr. Vines says he will Wing an action against lain to recover it. The prisoner was remanded for another ezatninatios. LA MBETH.STREMT. Yesterday, Messrs. Wyatt and Fount, plop' ietors of the" Royal Pavilion," Whiteehapel, and Mr. Williams. a performer ar the saint place of amusement, were summoned at the in.tance of the Bruns wick Theatre, now erecting iu the Whitechapel road, for violating the Act of 22.1 Geo. 11. in keeping open tte Pavilion as a place of public entcrtaianeant.w•bere dancing and music were performed, and money received at the doors. A man named Willets proved, that on Tuesday evening he went to the l'avilion, which was fitted up upon the Mane principle as Drury-lane or Covent-garden Theatres; iie paid to. for admission, and witnessed the performances of Mr. Wi.hanas, which were atter the style of Mr. Matthews' entertain. nients at the Etiblith Opera House. There were also singing and music. . Ale. Aootrnes, who appeared for the defendants, Slid, that wkh respect to the singing and music, they were provided with a license from his Majesty's Serjeant Trumpeter, which gave petunia. non to persons to whom it was granted to blew trumpets and use music and musical instruments. As to Mr. Witham* being sum. sunned as a proprietor of a theatre, nerdy because be attended as a performer, was must absurd. Kean, Liston, Wallach, or any other performer, might just as well be considered one of the proprietors o f th e l'atent Theatres. The license of the King's Trumpeter was then produced ; It was signed by Mr. Farqubarsou—sealed with the official seal, and surmounted with the Royal Arms. Dlr. Elaisowsce said, it was a case which ought mist decialeil by the Sessions, and therefore merely held Mr. Vt illiams in his owh recognizance to answer the charge at the Sessions.
