ne tt • !: i l • ?, 4~ LAW REPOT. COUR T ,OF CHANCERY, BLtY 6. - WI)ICtieSTER D• CIIAAIBLRS. The LOnD CHANCELLOR gave judgment in this case, one of the o i ,era-house causes.. It tv.4s an application for a receiver to be appointed. His Lordship taw no grounds for appointing x receiver, either for the tents or the Oj'era•house, or the houses in Cumberland street. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, MAY 6. IN RR BeNNIITT, MAYO 3 OF FoWEIC. The particulars of this case have been already re ported at length. It was.a Petiti•in to supersede the commisinn of bankrupt sited out against Mr. Bennett; a-d it alleged that individual to be not only solvent, b.it a prison of property ; that the-debf due to the peti tioning creditor (Mr. Trefusis Smith, solicitor and town cleik of Fowey) was the amouct of a bill of costs for business of the Corporation ; and that the procieding arose from a party feeling, growing out of electioneer- ITIAtIer , . The SOLICITOR-GLNERAL contended, at some length, that this w4s the teal motive of the proceeding; and that the only act of bau.kluptcy assigned, was Mr. Ben nett's twine denied to a person who came about the bill of cogs referred to. _ - - ie support of the allegation that the-debt was a joint and not a separa'e debt, Mr. MoNTASE! read the ac count Of Mr. Smith, which was headed—" John Ben s/V*4ohp Mess•-r. Robert Halle, and John Flammand, Esqrs. Dr. to I. T. Smith." He eynatiated at some length, and very facetiously, upon the several items of the account, all of which shewed that the business done was on account of the Corporation; and he commented with some severity upon the behaviour of Mr. Smith, whom be considered to be assisting the views of Mr. Austin, the.expectant of the representation of Fowey, and who was a party at . the interviews between Mr. Smith and Mr. Wells Boson, his adviser. He contended that the debt was in fact no debt ; that nc act of bank ruptcy had been committed ; that it was entirely a manoeuvre to injure the character 9f Mr. Bennett and the party he espoused. The person to whom Mr. Ben nett was denied 'was an attorney, who represented him self as a traveller. The affidavits stated that Mr:Bennett was a most respectable person, worth 40,0001. and this was not denied by the ether party. The LORD CHANCELLOR interposed in the course of Mr. Montagu's speech,. observing, that it had been re cently fully deterniired, in a case before the House of Lords, that where a joint creditor represents himself as a separate creditor in the docket ) the commission cannot be sapported. • Mr. MONTAGU said that he was fully aware of this, and should not have occupied the Court so long, but that he wished that die people of Fowey should not think that this case was got rid of merely on a point of form. • Mr. HEALD, for the petitioning creJiror, disclaimed any electioneering projects in this transaction. He ob served that many acts of bankruptcy had been cons muted by Mr. Bennett. He complained of the impu tations thrown out against Mr. Smith, who, if he de. served what had been said of him, ought to be struck °lithe rolls. His bill of costs remained two years un paid. He offered to refer his claim to arbitration ; the Mayor and his colleagues refused. His only remedy then was an action; but when he tried to serve Bennett with a copy of the writ, the latter secreted himself; he was denied ; and though he was seen in his garden., looking at some feats of horsemanship, when the per son on the watch went to his house the servant said he was not at home. Was a nun thus baffled to be ridiculed in a Court of Justice, and to have his bill read with all the solemn mockery of pretendel pathos, which accorded very ill wish a-lawyer's bill? As to' Mr. geonett's respectability, although the Solicitor- General might think proper on-this Occasion to uphold his purity, yet if the Attorney-General's avocations threw part of his duty upon him, lie would perhaps have to prosecute this very Mr. Bennett in a Court of Justice for smuggling. Contraband goods were found secreted on his premises. 'and were seized by Custom. house officers, as the affidavits chewed ; and the prose cutions are still pending, though Mr. Bennett has made ineffectual attempts to compromise. With the know ledge of this, an attack ..bad been made on Mr. Smith, and his Lordship's valuable time had been consumed for•an hour in order to appease the irritated feelings of these worthy smugglers. The LORD CHANCELLOR, upon rising, intimated that he would hear the ease farther if necessary, but that is the docket distinctly stateJ that the debt was a separate debt, and the other documents as clearlyshewed that it was a joint debt, the commission was decidedly bad. INDSOVENT DEBTORS - COURT, MAY S. This Court Was to-day very much crowded, in con sequerce of his Royal Highness the Duke of York being subt cenaed to give evidence in the case of Wm. Pope, an insolvent, who c ime up on his petition, to be dis charged. Mr. Harrison, of the Treasury, was also subp,cenaed by the insolvent. The insolvent was de scribed in his schedule, as formerly of York street, Westminster, agent ; after then of Untielif, Sussex; aft: rwards of Streatham, in Surrey ; then of Stock w ell; afterwards of Glanville-house, Middlesex ; and late of Garden-row, London.roati, Sauey, taivern-keeper, and keeper of a lunatic asylum. 'The insolvent was ex. mined, and stated, that, inianuary, 1824, when he was before 'lie Court, he had in the possession of' a fiiend a trunk of papers, which had been given him by a Mr. Ogilvie, as a special security for a debt of 2,6301. The Court ordered those papers to be ermined, but he did not give !hem up, a''he did n t wish to expose the parties they related to. In March following, he gave them up to Mr. Knight, a solicitor, who gave hiM an undertaking to pay the 2,6301. but in April the papers were yeturued to him by Mr. Knight, and from whom Ire learned that the parties would do nothing. Ile (insolvent) had understood that the Doke of York had sent somebody to settle the debt doe from 'Ogilvie. Mr. Knight said, he thought it would hive bee < !,ettled, had it trot been Mr. Greenwood and Sir llzi hen Taylor. Insolvent was much surprised at the papers being returned, and said he had nothing el . se to do but to , lay the case belo - e the public. Ile aiter se Inds waited on Mr. Morrison arid Mr. Ogilvie, and, upon some representatien, returned the pK.ers again.. to Mr. Knight, to give to the Duke of York, but whether they were given to his Royal Highness or not, he could not. say. An o1f:r of money had be n recently made to him to give up tlieraperr.— There were no securities for money among tire papers. but there were letters of privacy, and a Mannstiiit 'bock in tended to be pnblished, would h :ve Paid all Fiis 4 sigh , 534- Krfight sakkt the paler k visit now the pa-4E6001%0f a Gentlirewi:.'st iusolverft hard sretgiver to•V abarn back. • -11tCy diskaot rekise 'Millie? % i di om , t ine tis he insolvent ' bad no hap:est whatever in.than. lisnostey pctnl&heve saw attained by the letters, it. must ~ bweer %rya bf eX. tortion.

The manuscript relalecr 10. some private co:- respondena of a person of high cons . deratiou, but he did not think it was intended for publicati .n. The let -ters in question are a correspondence between the Duke of York and Mrs. Clarke ; they are .53'in number, and die Court directs(' Mr. Pollock, in whose 'mods they were piateCl,to g:ve a report of.the'r contents, and for that purpose the case was adjotitned. The Court was crowded by many fashionable persons. COMBINATION AMONG THE SHOEMAKERS. bit-. Millard, the S'licitor, applied at Guildhall, on behalf of a master shoemaker in Watling-street, tor the Magistrate's advice with respect to the proceedings of the journeymen, who . have combined to obtain an aJvance of wages. The number of persons associated is estimated at from 4000 to 5000, and the amount of the inctease sought is 3d. on a pair of shoes, according to the ordinary price; but o sly ld. or lid. on those paid by respectable, masters. The addition thus sought would make a difference of about 2s. in the weekly amount of wages earned by an industrious man, and the masters do not seem to think this increase unrea sonable, the incteased price of provisions being c.insi dered ; Uut ih. y a:e unwilling to bend to the system of combination. Round all the principal shops, Mr. MA lard stated, the I,urneymen Shoemakers Committee stationed sentinels, who prevent, by persuasion, or in timidation, any person from working for a master who refuses to agree to the advance. The party for whom he attended employed about 12 men, every one of whom had -left his service, and the sentinels occupied the narrow pavement of Watling-street, and obliged every passenger to turn ont into the road. No pat ticular acts of intimidation could be proved, because the men to whom they Fere used, had now all joined the Society. Mr. Aldetman Cot said, the City Sewers' Act stated, if any person shall occasion any kind of obstruction or annoyance in or upon any street, &c. or prevent the free passage of any footway, he shall be liable to a fine of 51. Let it be proved any person had been incommoded, and he would punish the offender. Mr. Millard thanked the Magistrate and retired. Thomas Allen, who had been standing sentinel at ano ther shoemaker's, in Watling-street, was brought in, charged with stopping and questioning a man who had just left the shop with a bag of work, but as the party ho had thus been interrupted was absent, the prisoner was remanded without entering into the case. In a third case, where actual threats had been used by the sentinel, the Magistrate granted a warrant. Doyen. MAY s.—Lait night was launched from the yard of Mr. Jesus DUKC, ship-builder, a beautiful new steam vessel, called the Calpe, of 4 tons and up wards, intended for the Mediterranean trade. Sailed yesterday his Majesty's packet, the Fury, with the mail and passengers, amongst whom were Madame CATALAN' and daughter. The Cazique of Poyais, it appears, still governs his dominions on the Mosquito Shore, though he does not possess a single foot of land in any quarter of Ame rica. His Highness now resides at Paris, and there maintains the government which the King of the Mos quitoes has prevented him from exercising in his own proper States. One of his subjects, or rather one of the adventurers, who intended to settle in his domi nions, lately applied to him for the payment of lows which he had incurred in the ill-fated expedition to Poyais. The application was received, and an answer. returned in due form. The answer states, that the Government of his Highness will take the claim into consideration, on the transmission of the proper docti ments necessary to establish its justice." This precious paper is dated April 20, 1825, .and signed by order of his Highness, by Count Blackman, Director-General of the Home Department. • The Dublin Freeman's Journal says—" Yesterday, a most painful sensation was created through town, in consequence of a forgery upon the Bank of Ireland, to a very large amount, having been discovered, and traced to a Merchant of this city, who had always borne a very fair character, and was held in high estimation. The distress and concern which this occurrence has created to the friends of the unfortunate Gentleman is consi derably increased by the misery that it will entail upon an amiable wife and twelve children. The accused has as yet succeeded in escaping the vigilance of the police. His escape was a most extraordinary circumstance. He was standing in the office of the Gentleman whose name had been forged, when the bill was brought by a Bank Clerk to ask if the signature was genuine? upon which the accused absconded." There bas been lately a very extensive circulation of base coin, both of silver and gold. At the last Old Bailey Sessions, six individuals were convicted of selling counterfeit coin at a less price than its denomination imports, for the purpose of its being uttered, which is a l felony—uttering is only a misdemeanour. The Learned person who gave judgment upon the abovernentionedi convicts, and who is supposed to have taken for his I motto 44 Joylex claietatur cum nouns absolvilur,” passed a sentence which is likell•to prevent the increase of the ciime alluded to. Several of the prisoners were ordered to be twice publicly whipped, and confined two years in the House of Correction ; and one, a Jew, who was an old offender, had an additional whipping awarded him. Tuesday, as the four-horse coach from lab to Ox ford was proceeding at a quick pace down the hill lead. tog from Swindon, it upset. One Gentleman (Captain Mairis, of Wootton Bassett), had his thigh crushed, and was otherwise so severely hurt, that he expired in the greatest agony. Anotl'er Gentleman (Mr. Phipp, of Highworth) was so much injured, that his recovery was despaired of. Oue of the horses . was so shockingly lacerated, that it was killed on the spot. Mr. and Miss Little, of Wootton Bassett, were also outside passengers —the former of whom jumped off, on seeing the danger to which he was exposed, and very fortunately was not in the least hurt. Miss Little was thrown against some palings, and received a slight injury on her back. The' inside passengers escaped with but a few brui.es. At the Boston Mayor Elect's dinner, on Monday last, the follow ing toast was received with great enthusiasm : 4 , The Member. of the House of Commons who so n'ibly* and constitutionally voted against the claims Of the Roinan Catholics." The names of Foote and Berkeley were coupled - to. Bethes as long ago arlBll ; in that year Ann Foote, the' ' wife A of the Aev. r.Fonte t was 'examined in the Berke. ley' c ause, and de'posed that Mary GOT afterwards Ladpgerkeley,theanother of Colonel 13erkeleY; formerly livott•Vith her. at Broughton Melber g in Kent. • POLICMANSIONE INTAELLMENCC. 1 • - •;_f :. .. 41 . . 4 '.'

Hurst and Robitarn were chargeable with 'having purchased some of the its, under such circumstances as proved they were aware the property was stolen. Mr. Robinson, however, appeared, and brought his books to prove that tbetransacdon was strictly correct 1 and honourable. •• . 1 Tice LORD Maeon said there was nothing incorrect in the con- , duct of the highly respectable house which Mr. Lee had attacked, and conimitted the prisoner for trial. BOW-STREET. Two fashionably dressed young men, named Morehead and Esterby, were brought before Mr. Ilaws charged with assaulting. a Bow-street patrol, at Shooter's.hill. R andall, the patrol, stated that, an Tuesday evening last, be was on duty at Shooter's-hill, and observed a chaise on th e road coming' towards him in a zig-zag motion, and the driver appeared unable to drive his horse steadily. i It appeared that Mr. Esterby had the whip, and Mr. Morehead had the reins; and whilst Mr. F.sterby, flogged, Mr. Morehead tried to guide the horse; but The horse—which never in that sort had handled been before ; • I What things behind his tail had got, Did wonder more and more. 'When they came up they drove him Randall, on the butt, and then cut him across the head and face with a whip. He had previously calked out "Patrol,;' and when they flogged him with the whip, they repeated his -words, with some sneering observations. He followed them up the bill, and called to Mather, his companion, to stop them, but the defendants kept on at a rapid rate, lorehead with the reins, and Esterby with the whip iu his hand. In reply t this charge, Esterby said he was a Cadet under Col. Peters, o the Riding School , Pimlico, and Morehead said be 'vas a s edical Student. They bad engaged a horse and gig to enjoy a day's pleasure, andleing rather fresh, and the horse having had two feeds of corn, he had gone on at a very brisk rate. They declared . most positively they did not strike the Patrol, and they accounted for one having the reins and the other the whip, by assuring the Magistrate that was a matter of necessity. The reins had broke, when they were ascending the hill, and while one joined them, the other held the whip. They further stated, that they got intoxicated after dinner, and they believed that the Patrol observed it, and was desirous of making some money by a compromise. Mr. Haas said he would prevent anything of the kind, and called upon the defendants to find bail for their appearance at the Sessions. QUEEN-SQUARE.Cha►Ies Sheinsonels, a footman in the service of Mr. and Mrs Stikeman, proprietors of one of the boarding-houses in little Dean's Yard, was charged with robbing several of the Westminster scholars, who reside in Mr. Stikensan's house. The Rev. Hugh Hodgson, one of the tutors in the establishment, who resided at Mr. Stikeman's house, stated, that during• the last six months, the wardrobes of the scholars had suffered very considerably by pecu lesion, and articles of wearing apparel were coutinually disap pearing in a very mysterious manner he himself had also been a sufferer. Numerous were the complaints of the scholars of their losses, and various plans had been adopted to detect the thief, but all to no effect. Yesterday morning, one of the scholars missed many articles of dress from his wardrobe, and an alarm basing been raised, aU the servants' boxes were ordered to be searched; aU were willing for the examination to take place, except the prisoner, and he said he bad lost the key; his box was Sneed open, and a vast number of articles of dress, watch-chains, seals, and keys, were found concealed under the prisoner's clothes. They were all pro duced, and a considerable portion was claimed by Mr. Hodgson, and several of the scholars. The prisoner, l his defence, said he knew nothing about the property found in his box, nor how it came there, unless it. bad been put there for the purpose of entrapping him.-.He was committed for trial.

Such is the throng of business at tke House of Cora. mons on Private Bills, thit yesterday there were twelve separate: Committees on twelve distinct Bills, all assem bled in one room ! Mr. O'Coarazu. was, last night, under the gallery of the House of Commons. After the Bill had gone into a Committee, Mr. O'C. walked away to the Coffee house, arm in arm with Mr. ELLis, the Master in ; Chancery, and a Member for Dublin. It having been publicly announced that a young Lady, a native of Guernsey, intended preaching in the Caledonian Theatre, Edinburgh, on Sunday evening, at half-past six o'clock, an immense concourse of people were attracted thither by the novelty of the exhibition.' So early as five o'clock, the doors were besieged by a crowd sufficient to have filled a house ten times the size. When the doors opened the rush was tremendous, and in a few moments every corner was crowded. Public worship commenced with a hymn and prayer, but many of the congregation spewed no greater sease of decency than if they had been witnessing a ,theatri cal performance. Hisses, plaudits, and vulgar wit ticisms were heard in all parts of the house; and at length the young Lady, whose sex certainly entitled her to more forbearance, came forward and stated, that if the uproar did not cease, she would stop the Ser vice. At this time-an idle report was circulated, that the gallery was giving way—the audience were seized with panic. and simultaneously pressed towards the I doer. A scene of indescribable confusion anJ danger ensued—many pei sons had their clothes tern, several females lost shoes and shawls, and two men and a wo man actually leaped from a window on the first story into the street. S.) sdon as it was ascertained that the alarm was unfounded, the theatre was again filled, but a strong party of police eventually interfered, and Mr. B a native of Spain, and well known in the City as one of tl e oldest and most eminent Spanish mer chants, is now a primaner in the debtors gaol, White cross.street ; he is nearly 80 years of age, and but a few years back, Was supposed to be worth nearly $OO,OOO/. extensive transactions in the Loans to the Spanish Go vernment have been - the cause of his melancholy re• verse of fortune. cleared the In the case of the ship go Susan," t' e Court of Admit ratty has adjudged MI. salvage and costs to the bolts crews nii• sat that. vessel eff a wad at Whitstable be June last, without injury. 0441C4t INTSl4lo ial td : •••••1 , 5 .•. . .
