stated, that in February, 1826, a sale of 1021 chests of indigo was effected by the plaintiffs for the defendant, and his late partner, Mr. Chalmers, at Ils. 64. per lb. Nothing special was inserted in the contract, which is usually done when any deduction froni the broker's commission of per cent. is to be made. Cross.examined—The indigo was received by Messrs. Guthrie and Chalmers from a correspondent of theirs in the East Indies to sell on commission. I have heard Mr. Perkin (my father's late partner, Who is one of the plaintiffs in this action) say that he wished the Action had not been brought. Samples of the indigo Were sent to the three other brokers before we received the order to dispose of it. It is not usual for the broker who effects a sale to divide the commission with the other brokers, unless it is specially provided for in tie contract. It is, however, not unusual to make such a contract. It is usual sometimes to receive half per , cent. commission from the buyer, but we did not do so in this case. Mr. Thomas Taney, an East India broker, stated that it was the custom for the broker who effected a sale tone• ceive the whole of the commission, unless in the contract an express stipulation was made that he should allow, half to the ether broker, to whom samples had been previously sent. , Mr. Moses Lindow, a b'roker, gave similar testimony. Witness was one of the three brokers to whom samples' of the indigo in question had, in the first instance, been sent. He had been paid nothing by the defendant for commission, and had made no charge. Mr. H. Realty, a commission merchant, had always understood that the broker who effected a sale was en. titled to the whole commission. Mr. Wm. Cothie, a drysalter, deposed to the same effect. Mr. CAMPBELL, for the defendant, addressed the.' Jury, and said he should prove that Mr. Parkin, the late partner of Mr. Guthrie, had agreed to allow half the commission to the other three brokers. Mr. Samuel Rose, shipping clerk to the defendant, deposed to a conversation between him and Mr. Parkin, after the charge for brokerage had been sent to the defendant. Witness objected to that charge, and said half the commission must be paid to the other brokers, to which Mr. Parkin replied. " It was a capital sale for you, and you must not be too hard upon us." Another witness stated. that he had heard Mr. Par kin declare he would rather pay out of his own Pocket the sum claimed by Mr. Flood, than the action should go on. Captain Wallis, formerly commander of an East In. da ship, spoke to haring heard a similar declaration on the part of Mr. Parkin. Mr. Patry, a partner in the house of Kymer and Co. stated that he had heard Mr. Parkin tell Mr. Guthrie that he was very sorry the action was going on. Mr. Guthrie said " You might settle it by paying the money ;" to which Mr. Parkin replied, " What can I do ?" Cross-examined—lt the commission is to be divided, it is usual to state it in the contract. The ATTORNEY GENERAL having replied, Lord Tearsanza summed up, and left it to the Jury to decide upon the whole of the facts, whether the . plaintiff's ought to have made the deduction of half their commission ? The defendant had paid 361.85. into Court, and. therefore if they. found for the plaintiffs, their verdict must be for the other moiety. The Jury immediately found for the plaintiffs—Da. wages 361. Bs. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Jan. 17. City Sittings after 'Michaelmas Term.—Uefore islr.Justice Peas, and a Common Jury. BAIT? AND OT igits v. walnuts AND OTHERS. This was an action brought by Messrs. Batty, Mel. Till; and Co. wholesale stationers, of Aldersgate.strect, against Mr. M'Cundie, who was described as being a person of property, Mr. Butcher, of Snowhill, Mr. M'Callam, an insurance broker in the City, and Mr. Baldy, a linen draper, of Russell-street, Covent-garden, to recover the sum of 2801.54 Id. for stamps and paper, supplied to the defendants as proprietors and partners of the London Free Press. Mr. Sergeant ltutseLL, in stating the case, said the plaintiffs' demand had been resisted on a technical, if 'not a dishonourable objection--namely, that Colonel Jaoes, one of the plaintiffs, was a party inteteated in the Paper. But he should distinctly prove that such was not the case; and having done so, he had no doubt but that the Jury . would return a verdict for the full amount claimed. Mr. Northbouse said he had been the Editor of the London Free Press. That Paper was commenced on the lith of. February, 1827, and was discontinued in the following June. All the defendants held shares in the paper. Mr. M'Callam, Mr. M'Cundy, and Mr. Butcher, held a 100!. share each, Mr. lialdy had a 501. share, and his wife another of the same value. A Meeting was held at the Kendal Tavern, Fleet-street, on the 21st of May list, for the purpose of auditing accounts, at which Mr. Baldy and Mr. Butcher were present, and Mr. M'Callam was there for a short time. Mr. M•Cundie was not there at all. Stamps and paper bad been supplied by the plaintiffs for the we of the paper, but he could not say to what amount. The goods were probably ordered by Mr. Henry Loire, who was the nominal proprietor. Mr. Justice Nag—What is meant by the nominal proprietor ? Iv not the affidavit filed at the Stamp Office sworn to by the real proprietor ? Mr. Northhonse explained that, when the paper was first started, it was intended that the shareholders should be persons in "high life ;" but that plan had been re lirquished, and the distinguished rersons who, at first, held shares, had withdrawn their names, and their shares had been purchased by Mr.l.osve,who undertook the ma. nagement.nf the Paper, and also to be responsible for its eng agements,and from that time it continued in his name as '1 he had been the sole proprietor. A prospectus was inted, at the bottom of which was a manuscript note, raeng that Colonel Jones, of No. 7, Upper Goucester street, Dorset-square, and two other Gentlemen, would be et e Treasurers and Managers of the concern. Col. Jones originally subscribed for two, shares, but he de. c lined taking them,l4 days before the paper was printed. Cress examined by Mr. Sergeant WILDE—He had been a lodger in Mr. Baldy's house, and first named the London Free Press to Mrs. Bally. At that time the • names of several distinguished characters were named as individuals who would support the undertaking, and among others was that of Colonel Jones. At the time be spoke to Mr. Baldy on the subject, it Was understood that Colonel Jones bad two shares.. The prospectus was issued eta Colonel Jones and the other individuals he had alluded to bad declined taking shares. Some words were written at the bottom of the prospectus, purporting that Colonel Jones and two other Gentle. , men would act as Treasurers and Managers of the Paper. Mr. Baldy paid his subatription before the Paper was first published, bet not till he felt assured there vies every probability of its succeeding from the support it was to receive horn " high quarters:"— (1410 W Sone , had, in fact, emoted himself to advance sate interest of the raper. Before Mr. Rattly entered Ai* the •Oriecers, be was told that Coknel Jones and the other Gentlemen 11-ad withdrawn themselves as subscribers, but that, Colonel Jones would continue to support it by his writings. Colonel Jones was intro• duced to him (the witness) by Mr. Hume. Colonel Jones said he would support the Paper for its political principles. Colonel Jones never told him that he would support it because he t hou g ht it would facilitate his return to Parliament. Mr. Baldy was not consulted as to the management of the Paper, nor had that Gen tleman written any leading articles in it—(A laugh). Cross-examined by Mr. Sergeant Srsetia—ln cember, 1826, he applied to Mt. M'Callam for pecu niary assistance on his private account, and it was then he spoke to him about the Paper, representing it as being likely to succeed. lie did not propose that Mr. M'Callam should become a proprietor, as it was the plan of those who had suggested the undertaking, that there should be no partnership between the parties.— Mr. M'Callam advanced 1001. and received a *limn memorandum that he should not be called on for more. When Mr. MsCundie and Mr. Butcher paid their money, they also . received a similar document. Colonel Jones saw the prospectus before it was issued, and made some ;iterations in it. The Resolutions entered into at the Kendal Tavern were then put in and read: The first stated that 1 ,000 1 . more would be necessary for the better conducting the Paper; which sum was proposed to be raised on the shares of those who had already subscribed. The second Resolntion declared that a deed, such as should not create a partnership, should be prepared and signed. Mr. Northhoese re-examined—Mr. Baldy and Mr. Butcher signed their names as subscribers to the addi tional fund raised under these resolutions. The MS. note to the prospectus was taken in substance from a note in the handwriting of Colonel Jone'. He had been the conductor of the Glotons Free Press. Mr. Parting, the plaintiffs' attorney, saii that he was desired to apply to the defendants for payment in October last. Mr. M'Callam called on him the following day, and said he did not consider himself a partner. He said he thought he (Mr. M'Callam) was, and advised him to consult his legal adviser ; and the day after, Mr. M'Callam called again, with Mr. Butcher and his attorney, when they admitted that they were partners. At that meeting it was arranged that all the defendants, with , the exception of Baldy, should pay their proportion of the demand; and Baldy was to be applied to for the payment of his share separately. The plaintiffs at this time held • bill for 501. which 'Lady had paid for his shares; and it was proposed that an action should be brought against him for the amount. They afterwards refused to keep their engagements, and then this :union was brought. Mr. Northhouse recalled—He never tepresented Col. Jones as a partner after the publicatien of the Paper. He had never said he was a partner to a pet son named Corder; but he might have said that Colonel Jones would be a warm supporter of it. Mr. Sergeant WlLoa, on the part of the defendint, Mr. Baldy. said this was a case in which the plaintiffs could nut recover. It was one of those instances where great names had been put forth to the world for the purpose of deluding the unwary; and those persons having obtained their object r they crept out. and left all the burden on the shoulders of a few humble tradesmen. He did not deny but that the defendants must be con sidered as 'amulets, and liable to the debts of the Paper to every person who was not aware that there was a distinct understanding among the proprietors themselves that they were not to be considered as co-pattners ; and if he distinctly showed that Colonel Jones was fully apprised of this circumstance, and was himself a proprietor of the Paper at the tilne he was supplying the goods, there could be no doubt of his client's right to a verdict. He should also prove that, after the publication of the Paper, Colonel Jones had been represented as being a shareholder, although the contrary had been staled by Mr. Northhouse ; and, in addition to this, he should :how that the dfendants never knew that Messrs. Batty. Melville, and Co. meant Colonel Jones a co-proprietor with themselves until long subsequent to October, when the interview was had with the plaintiff's attorney. Mr. Justice PARK observed that, if Colonel Jones's acts wete the acts of the plaintiffs, he thought a fraud bad been practised on the public. Mr. Sergeant WILDE—Then, my Lord, I do assure you that my instructions are that the defendants never knew they were dealing with Colonel Jones till after October last, and having made that discovery, they thought themselves justified in resisting this demand. Mr. Sergeant SPANK'S made the same defence on the 'part of the other defendants. Mr. Corder, a tea-dealer, of Covent-garden, said that Mr. Northhouse had suggested to him the advantage of becoming a shareholder in the London Free Press, and, after the Paper had been published, he (Mr. North house) told him that Colonel Jones was a partner. He also met Colonel Jones at Mr. Baldy's house after the publication, when he (Colonel Jones) said, " llow do you like our Paper?" Reynolds, an errand boy, stated that he carried a bundle of prospectuses to Colonel Jones's house about a week before the first publication of the Paper. Mr. Sergeant SPANKIII put in a note received from Batty, Melville, and Co. in which they did not treat the defendants as their debtors, but applied to Mr. Northhouse, the Editor, for payment of their demand. Mr. Justice PARK, in his charge to the Jury, said that the defendants were unquestionably liable to 'all debts due from the Paper to parties who were not aware of the arrangement as to the partnership. But the ques tion was, whether Colonel Jones did not set this Paper afloat with the full knowledge that Mr. Baldy, and the other defendants, were not to be considered as co-part ners? and if, at the same time, he was acquainted with that fact, then, in point of law, this action could not be sustained. The Jury immediately found for the defendants. 111611 COURT OF DELEGATES, JAL 17. The Cow t was occupied all day with the argument in the case of 11 Clark and Clark against Dew" com• menced yesterday. The argument is of exactly the same tenour as in the Court below, which was fully reported when the cue was heard. To repeat the whole of it would be super Buoys, and to give a pat t of it only would Ibe unfair. The hearing will probably last some days. We shall give the result. Dr. Patutuottz and Mr. KNIGHT were this day heard for the respondent, and Sir C.'W/LTHERELL for the appellants. W. LUSWINGTON and another Learned Gentleman follow Sir CHARLES on the same side, and the COMMON SERGEANT will reply on behalf of the respondent. • Wednesday a little boy, named Brooks, who was re turning from school, was run over in Wild Street, Lin coin's Inn Fields, by a coal waggon, the wheels of which passed over his head. From the excessively wet state of many of the grazing districts, the rot is expected to be very general among sheep during the towing spring. SURREY SESSIONS. J. 17. Awedusßertjamin was indicted for stealing a watch, the property of John Forster. The prisoner and prosecutor had been shipmates; and the 'prisoner visited the prosecutor's mother, who lived servant in a Gentleman% family, in company with a female. After spending some time with the mother in the kitchen, the prisoner and his companion departed. The watch in question had been seen hanging up in the kitchen a short time after the prisoner arrived,. and was missed shortly after he was gone. John Punter, the owner of the watch, saw the prisoner in a Isiig which was starting for St. Domingo. He went on btfurd and taxed the prisoner with the theft. He denied it, but said that he had seen it hanging up in the room of'the female who accompanied him to the house, and would call on the prosecutor and take him to her liditt•e ; he however never called, and the prosecutor after wards saw him in custody. The prison -r, in defence, hid the whole of the blame on the female who had not been yet discovered any more than the watch. . The Jury, after a few minutes deliberation, returned a verdict of Not Guilty. POLICE IN lELLIGENCE. MANSION-IMM Yesteliarf the Loan Mayon sat at an early hour, having to attend a Court of Common CounciL The Rev. Robert Taylor applied to the Lord Mayor to grant him a warrant or summons against the late Lord Mayor, Alderman Atkins, and W. Newman, the City Solicitor. The complainant stated that they had each .of them exhibited personal - hostility towards him, and intimated that there was a con spiracy against his life. After the trial that had been called on that morning, the City Solicitor had even said "so him, " Take .care where you go in future," or words to that effect. His life, said the Rev. Gentleman, .was really not safe. Mr. Alderman Brown and Mr. Alderman Atkins had also used ill language towards bins, and attacked his character. The LORD Maim patiently heard the complaint and statements of the " Orator;' but told bins lie could not grant a warrant, no indictment having Bern preferred, nor bill found; and there was, in his opinion, no ground whatever stated upon which it was neces sary to grant a summons. BOW.STR BET. Mr. Warmwell, of the New Somerset Coffee.hnuse, in the Strand, and Mr. ilardley, proprietor of the Wine Roosts, also in the Strand, were convicted, by Mr. Mmsttut.t. and Mr. HALLS, on the informations of Johnson, the common inft.rmer, in the mitigated penalty each of 101. and 4s. 6d. casts, for sel:ing on their premises foreign wines, without having been duly authorise d. The defendants ' who declined appealing, paid the money and depirted. hi A IiLIIOROUGII-STREET. Yesterday, about twelve o'clock, a noddle-a3cd Lady veiled in lace, and cloaked in plaid, entered the Office, and striding with much dignity across the floor, proceeded to let herself in, without any ceremony, at a small door which admits to the Magis trates' bench. • Mr. Plank, the chief officer, very civilly asked her, what might he hee business ?—" Business !" exclaimed the Lady, " what do you ask me about business ; don't you know me? I am the Ouches, of Onslow. _ _ _ . . Mr. Roe,without still admitting her Grace to the bench, asked the Lady, if sbe wished to make any communication to the Magistrate. Tile Lady replied, that she wished for a warrant to apprehend a man of the name of Grosse, in whose house she lowered her dig nity by becoming a lodger who had grossly insulted her. The Niagistrate was questioning her Grace more particularly, when it stepped Mr. George, who said, shat hearing the lady had come to make a complaint against him at the 011 ice, he came also to meet any citirge -she had against him ; but be believed all she could accuse him of was neglecting sometimes to style her as a Duchess or bet Grace, which he used to do foe some time; but he bad reason now to believe that she we, no more a Duchess than he was.—" What! fellow," exclaimed her Grace, "do you pre. sumo to doubt the legitimacy of my title, even alter having yourself recognised it by your signature to this document?" drawing a paper out of her pocket, which began thus—l , Terms of agreement be tween Edward George, on the one hand, and Jane, Duchess of Onslow, on the other." Mr. George said, that he certainly bad signed that document, but at the time be did so, he thought the Lady was a Duchess, as she desetibed herself when she hired his lodgings, but he found out since that she was no such thing. Mr. Roe said he had nothing to do with their dispute about the title; as both parties were present, he was ready to hear any com plaint Mrs. Onslow bad to prefer. " Mrs. Onslow, Sit r exclaimed the Lady in as agony, " don't Mistress me, Sir, if you please, I am a Duchess, and as such I shall be spoken to." Mr. Ros requested the Lady to. go on with her complaint. She replied that she would not have the ease beard at all then.— She must have a warrant to take Mr. George into custody, and ihat warrant must be granted to her as the Duchess of Onalow. Mr. Roe said, if thatwas her determination she had hewer with draw, as neither the one nor the other should be granted to her. The Lady skewing no disposition to avail herself of the blagis trate% hint, and still continuing to press her claims to a title spa a warrant, Mr. Plank, after a little persua4on, induced her to retire, which she did with a magnificent flounce of her cloak, and a din : dainful toss of her head to all present. TOWN-HALL. Navy Jrnes was charged with stealing two shawls, the property of Mrs. SATO; English. of Crown-court. St. Thomas's. The pro perty was found at the house of Mr. Wharton, pawnbroker, in Bermondsey-street, who identified the prisoner as the person pledging, and she was remanded. LA NI BET 11-ST REET. Sarah Wright, a young woman, was charged with biting the ear off an aged female, named Ann Athcrsuch. The complainant, who is upwards of eighty years of age, lived in George-yard, White chapel. The prisoner uttered her room one morning while she was at breakfast; the prisoner at that time was intoxicated, and knock ing the complainant down, bit her left ear completely off. The Magistrate said he never he..rd of a more gross assault, and di rected the prisoner to be prowcored at the expense of the parish. 11N1014.11ALI. Yesterday Thomas Cheshire, alias Jack Ketch, attended at the Office, accompanied by his daughter, a married woman for the' purpose of complaining against the parish officers of Lambeth, who, he alleged, had ret used to give her any relief in her distress, her husband being for the last two years confined in a madhouse. Whoa 41 Jack Ketch" had described the reduced circumstances of his daughter, the Magistrate expressed souse surprise, observing, that the least her father could do in such a case,.was to support her himself, without %flowing her to make application for relief from the parish. Jack Ketch—Lord bless you, Sir, it's out of my power to support her ; she has two children. and I never could find.a living for therm " You know, Sir," added be, shaking his head, " business is very slack with me of late." Dlr. nom—Have you any other children? None, Sir, thank Goa. but I have my old woman to look after. Mr. Hose-11 you have only a wifeto support, I think you must be in circumstances to assist your own daughter. Jack Ketch-1 have only a guinea a week from the'City of Lon don, and it's hard enough for two people to make out on that. Dlr. STAPLIti, the Chief Clerk—You floret mean to say that your income is only at the rate of a guinea per week ; your business is not confined to the City. Jack Ketch goes into the country sometimes, but not often. l'lr. Staples.—You had something to do in the country very re cently in your line. Jack Ketch (scratching his bead)—Aye, Sir, that was a Godsend to be sure ; but they do not come so often as to make a man in my profession independent euougb to support a large family. It was ultimately decided that the daughter of the " Finisher of the Law" should attend on a future day, when the parish officers were present, and, in the interim, her father promised to support her. In the High Court of Admiralty, Edinburgh, on Fri day, David Smith, master of the luggage steam boat the Favourite, plying on the river Clyde, Norman Ja meson, mate of the said steam boat, and John Macar thur, acting master of the steam packet Fingal, plying between Belfast and Glasgow, and Donald M‘l3ryd, seaman on board that vessel, were placed at the bar, accused of culpable homicide, in managing their vessels, so that on the 21st of August, the Carolina smack was upset and sunk by the ksagal, which sailed over the said smack; and in consequence Mary Duncan, or An derson, Margaret Anderson,Grizel Anderson, and James Anderson, her children, were dioaned.

MiDrycl, and NOMAD Janu sou Not Guilty. ROBBERY OF THE LEDBUBY BANK. There are some very curious circuinstances connected with the perpetration of this daring and extensive robbery, s which have not yet been communicated tb the ptiblic. The two per. sows who, beyond all doubt, committed the robbery in question, S had paid more than one visit to Ledbury before the last ocea. lion, and were supposed to be London travellers, and therefore attracted' no particular notice, and of course they took rate to inform themselves of every circumstance connected with the Bank, which cook/ on alkiweout their-views. The Banking-house itself was not iokabited at night, but was taken care of" by an ancient couple who occupied a small tenement adjoining and front which tenement there was a door of communication with the Bank. The old man, in addition to the emolument he re, reined as the nightly guardian of the Banking Establishment carried on the business ot a barber. He and his wife were botbot a very religious turn of mind, and regular in their atteodance at places of Divine Worship ; but were never known to go together, because of the important charge entrusted to them • so that they made their visits in turn. One of the two men allu ded tb, spot the last visit, went regularly every morning to the barbek's robe shaved, and, having made himself acquainted with their habits, he took care to provide himself with religious books, to-which he drew the attention of the barber and his wife, and wadi! slt and converse with them upon their favourite topic for an bout together. His mangers were pleasing, his information, appa: rently to them, extensive, and the old couple were Mite delighted with this strange Geatlemen. On Friday morning last (the robbery was coninsitted on the everting of that day) the strange Gentleman" called as Weal to be shaved, and the convervatiori taking the customary rites, be observed, diet a friend of Ms, 3 most pious, and an ekcerdingiy a6v4 WIN wes gang tb reach that evening at a chapel, which he nan - i, and he wished he could prevail on them to go to hear him. They would, he assured them, be greatly edified, and their souls comforted by the ffiscourses of his friend. They hesitated, sod be even offered to accompse} them. This latter proposition was irresistible, and the barber and his wife consented to go. He called in the evening, aed they all went to the chapel together, the barber seeming his -doors in the best manner the fastenings would allow. They bad not bent long in the chapel, however, before the stranger whit. pered to the barber that he was seized with a violent *min hi bowels, and must retire for a time. He did not return ; and the barber concluded be was worse, and remained until the conchs. sion of the service. In the meantime the work of plender wa going successfully on. The door of the barber's tenement was opened with picklock keys, and an easy entry to the Bank was effected in the sante manner. The woo chest from which the greater part of the property was abstracted had a secret spring but this the thieves discovered, and thus set at nought the in genuity of him who had constructed it. An iron safe,' however in which some very valuable property was deposited, escaped ti. villains; whether from its having pstssed unnoticed. or that they were unable to open it, cannot be known. The thieves were many miles from Ledbury with their booty before the robbery was dis covered. An active officer has been to Ledbury to make iuquizies, and to exanuue the premises, ENJOYM EN F.
