Hoots, begged to call his Lordship's attention to this ease. in which his Lordship had already given his opinion, but the urder had not been drawn up. The Lotto CHANCVLLOII-4 have no reason to alter that opinion, Mr. Horne, and will dtaw up the ordet forthwith. PRACTICE OF TILE COURT. Mr. Kittratt said he was instructed to make an application, cer tainly novel in its nature, hut which, under the circumstances, by trusted his Lordship would be pleased to allow. It was the case of a country bankrupt, who had declared himself insolvent, and which insolvency had been published in the Gazette, but the estate being so small, there would not be sufficient to work the Commission in the usual way ; and, therefore, the red:loner prayed that under the.new provisions of the Bankrupt Act, five Gentlemen, resident at'Manzhester, and Solicitors of this Court, might proceed with the Commission without having the attendance of three Barristers, by which a great expense would be obviated. —Mr. Knight now read the affidavit, which alleged that a per son, named Ainsworth, had s.dzed, illegally, the whole of the ! bankrupt's effects, and observed, that in order to obtain a fair di -1 vision of the property, the present application was now made. The LORD CHANCELLOR said, " Your affidavit does not state what the nature of the property is, nor of the amount in value. — It would be a most dangerous precedent to allow the pryer of the Petition under such circumstances, as any person might declare himself bankrupt, and appoint whom he pleased to work the Com mission. The Act of Parliament by no means meant to esclude Barristers, the only object was, that those who performed th•t duty in their room might he allowed a fair compensation for .io doing. Fcr all th it I knt►a there may he a million of money to he divided, and therefore the Court must he made acquainted wi'h every particular. Ido not mean to insinuate anything sgainst the Gentlemen whose appointment you pray for, but I speak generally of the great danger that would arise to allow such a practice to predominate, and therefore I ant bound to dismiss the Petition." COURT OF K I NG'S BKNCII, Nov. 7. In consequence of the new Court of King's Bench not being ready, the Judges sat again in the Sessions flume. 1%1 1 NDANIUS. Mr. TAUNTON moved for a mandamus against the' Corporation of Oxf-rd, co:i.manding the Burgesses to proceed to th election of a new Mayor. The appl;ca tion was made npt•n atEiavits, which stated that the clia!tered day for the election of Mayor was in the month of September, and that on the day filed by t e charter no election took place. The Gentleman ap pointed to the °lice at the last election was allowed to hold the situation the following ye4r. By the 9:1) of Anne, no Ferson could serve the office of Mayor two years, and therefore it was contended that no Ma)or had been appointed. The Cower granted A Rule to chew cause. Mr. BROUGHAM made an application for a Miutchnous to compel the Corporation of Tregony, in Cornwall, to proceed to the election of Mayor, under4ircumstatices similar to the above. The Coma granted the writ. HABEAS CORPUS. Mr. Ancumitts advetted to an applic s• ion . for a wri of Habeas corpus made to the Lc:old Chief Justice a chambers during the late vacation. The application' was made in behallof a Gentleman who, he said, should be nameless, and his object on this occasion was to bring the subject before the Court. The Gentleman wished to obtain possession of his child, who was seventeen months old at the time his wife eloped and cat tied the infant away. Mr. COMMON SERJEANT here observed, that it would be for the advantage of the parties not to press any motion of the Court, as the subject would occupy the attent on of another tribunal. Whilst he was speaking, a motion might be in iking in Chancery. '.‘lr. Senatdrir expressed a hope that the Court would not stop :%Ir. Adolphus in his application. The father of the child was most desirous of having it restored. Mr. AD-LPHUS then proceeded to state that a bill of divorce mentioned that the applicant had five children by his wife, and that the child in question was one of them. The child having been found in this country, was known to be in bad health, and upon that fact having appealed, the Lord Chief Justice ordered that the in t.-tut should remain in the custody of a proper person until the case could be brought before the Court at the commencement of Term. The Term had arrived, and the Court would no longer delay the natural claim which a father had to his child. That father, who had come from a distant part of the United Kingdom (Ire. land), was then in Court, seeking for that which the law ' of nature gave, namely, the custody of his own child. M.. Adolphus added, that he was then at a loss how to frame his motion ; but in consequence of the obset V. 1.. tions his Lordship had made at the Chambers, the father expected the Court would older the child to be given up. It was then arranged that a fresh writ of habeas corpus should be . issued, returnable to-morrow (this day), OR which the whole merits of the case should be decided. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Nov. 8. 'lbis being the first day of Term, the Judges, as usual, breakfasted with the LORD CHANCELLOR, at Lincoln's Inn, and then proceeded in procession to oven the Courts :it %Vestminster. The Judges assembled fur the first time in the new building constructed for the business of the Court, in Wsstrninater Hall. It is •a small square building, very neatly fitted up, and has the addition of a gallery, with a lantern in the centre of the roof. We understand it was originally intended for the King's Bench Court, but was thought quite insufficient for the purpose. At half-past tine o'clock the Judges took their seats, dressed in full costume, as were the Counsel. There was a full attendance, with the exception of Mr. Setjeant Pau., who, it was rumoured, had retired from the liar. The Court were occupied some time in taking justification of bail. LORD MAYOR'S COURT, Novsmiss 7. LAWSON AND BARKER V. THE TRUSTEES OF THE BRITISH STEAM NAVIGATION COMPANY. Mr. BOLLAND stated to the Jury, that the plaintiffs in this case were newspaper agents, that the defendants were Lieutenant Gracia' Sir Wiltiani Congreve, Bart. Sir J. S. Lilly, Charles Mayne, Esq. Edward Walpole, Esq. and anothet Gentleman, aryl that the garnishees were Messrs. Veres, Ward, and Company, of Lombatd sir: et. The peseta proceeding was instiaited to rearm r the sum of 2071. 11>.7d. for advertisements insetted by the plaintiffs fur the defeadants, who were Trustees of a new Company, cal!ed the Witish Steam Navigation Company. Ttse Learned Counsel feared that his friend Sir William Congreve, engaged, when he entered upon tick speculation, in an unprofitable and unfortunate job. The Company's funds had been placed in the hands of the garnishees, whce they remained, as it would be !moved in evidence, to the amount of about 17201. and he thought there could be no question of the responsibi lity of those trustees. Mr. Thomas Shaw deposed, that Messrs. Veres, Ward, and Cu. were garnishees in this case. A clerk in the banking-house of Messrs. Veres and Ward deposed that Mr. Ward was 4 partner in the banking house of Meitsrs.Veres, IVard, and Co. Mr. BARNARD—In whose names does this account by the British Steam Navigation Company stand ? I know that it does not stand in the names of those individuals, nor in the names of any indivi duals at all. The witness said it stood in the names of the five individuals mentioned as trustees. Mr. Aau—Really this is quite a surprise upon me. I know .t is not mentioned in the Is rakers' book that the money is in the !tames of those individuals, and I deny their responsibility. Ihe ' recount is nu rely on account of the trustees, without naming them. 0 Mr. Ilui.i.ktip—Suplu.sa. you 'gate tobe the tact, I contrud hat the defendants are repnniasle, and that he money can be att.sched. 'Tis evident there's inmebndy behind the scenes in these transaction•. Mr. BARNARD—..Centleflirll of the Jury, • I am, AS yin perceive, in the greatest of difficulties; but I shall submit the ca•e to sour judgment and experience. Th- Ileroanta—The plaintiff's witnssses have sworn that the money lies in the hanking.house, hi the names of those five Direc tor, whatever may be their character. They were not within the jurisdiction to be served with a grocess, and therefore re-o:t was had to this Court, whose privileges made them li ►ble. The Jury returned a verd►ct for the Plaintiffs for £207 113. £A OPDRTO, AND LISBON STEAM-PACKET NAV!• GATIoN COMP:\ NY.—WILLIAMS V. CURTIS. Mr. BOLLA ND stated, this ..ction was hr ug!ir to oh the sum of 71. 9.. 6J. which had been obtained in rather an extraordinary way. Mr. Williams was a stack-brisk r, and Mr. Curtis was one of those Gentle m •n who occasionally did business in Capel-court, which is better known by the name of " the Alley." By some _ _ me•ins or other Mr. Curtis got into his posse,sioa a let ter directed to a Gentleman named Sweet man, at the Stock Exchange. T.:is letter communicated the irtel• hgence that five shares were allotted to Sir. Sweetm.in n the abovenamed Company. and was signed by the Secretary, Mr. N.irion. Mr. Curti: sold this letter in :he ma ket, and it was afterwards ascertained that he was not just•tied in doing so. Mr. appl;ed to Nit-. Curtis up in the subject, and a correspondence commenced, in whi h Curtis observed, " he hoped Mr. Williams and he wonld walk tip Crpel•couit arm-in.arm, lends, and then ti .e world would see that the"v were iends; t hat Mr. Williams had done his credit much ii jut y in the Ci,y, hit that he hoped and tru-ted all w Ind be light.aga n..' This letter con- cluded with an appointment, upon which occasion the :mount of money recetv?d I r t!te letter was to be paid. Mr. Vederick Williams, brother to the vlaintitT, stated, that Mr. Thomas Curtis applh d to his brother on the subject of the sale of the letter. Mr. C. vent up to the do,r of the Stock Exchange, and asked what could be gct for five shales in the Oporto Steam Com pany ? He was told that they sere at W. pu•rr.i.im, and he des'red the witness's br. ther to sell the late* at that rate, and he would pay commission. The letter was soli, and witness's brother trail Mr. Curtis 91.75. 6d. the difference between that and HM. was kept as bro. keraAe; witness applied to Mr. Curtis when he found that he had no right to ten the letter. • At first Mr. Curtis den! d that lie had had the letter, but he after wards ac,knossiedged that it passed through his hands, and he premised to pay the amount of the premium. The RECORDER—Where are those valuable shares? Witness—Nothing passed on the subject but the letter, and when this letter was presented to the bankers for the purpose of getting the scrip in lieu of it, the obser vation made was, t. that it had been stolen." Mr. S xeetman was next called—He wa,, he said, the person to whom the letter in question had been di rected ; it was diffitult to say how the letter got into the hands of Mr. Calais; upon hea.ing that a letter from the Company, allotting him five shares, had been addressed to him at the Foreign Stock Exchange, and that it was not frthcoaling, lie went to the bloke's, and requested that they would not receive it ; upon re- Erence to their books they found that it had not been presented, and the clerk assured them it should not be received ; witness accused Mi. Cut Lis of having stolen it, and the answer made by that person was quite un satisfactory ; Curtis, however, promised to pay the amount at which the letter was sold. The IlEcoripEn, in his charge, said, that no case could be more palpable thin this. Whether there were ever shares in this Company could not be ascer tained.floin what had taken place; but it was evident that the plaintiff had, upon the belief that Mr. Curtis was authorised to sell the letter, paid the sum stated to have been given. It was also clear that Mr. Curtis had promised to refund the money which had thus improperly got into his possession. With regard to those Companies, he wished it to be understood, that if persons received money upon the pretence that there were shares existing, while at the same time there wis no ground for saying so, they might consider them• selves very well off if they escaped without being pro secuted for receiving money under false pretences. He also expressed a hope that the parties to the numerous frauds which had been lately practised in speculations of this kind would be severely punished. The Jury immediately found a verdict for the plaintiff, to the full amount of his demand. Mr. FLETCHER, Proprietor of the Chester Chronicle, is elected Mayor of that City. Cardigan was last week visited by so dreadful a hail storm,that every window exposed to the north was demolished. The mania of forming Joint Stock Companies has extended, it seems, to India. Captain W. E. Surucanallo, who lately perished in the Comet, was (as ail his acquaintances know) an ex cellent swimmer : a soldier who served with him in America, says he was the best swimmer in the 93d Re giment, and that he has seen him swim as far as from Inverness to Kessock : yet this noble fellow scorned to avail himself of this advantage, arid remained clasped in his Lady's arms till both sunk to rise no more. Sundsy Divine Service was performed at St. Cathe rine's Church, Tower, fur the last time previously to its being pulled down to make room for the new docks; and s" anxious was a part of the congregation to pre serve some relic of that venerable edifice, that they ac tually began to demolish the ornaments even before the conclusion of the service. Mush confusion was the con sequence; and it was found necessary to call in the police to put a stop to the disgraceful scene, during which the light. fingered gentry were on the alert, and many suffered from their sleight-of-hand adroitness. In the Secondaries Office, ye.terday, Mr. Spencer, a jeweller, brought an action against Mr. Waterhouse, for damages satained by the non-art ival of ab)x at Liver pool, con! aining samples, by which his traveller was prevented doing business, and his journey tendered useless. The box had been forwarded by another coach, throa t !) nii-Aake, and was ultimately restored to the owner. The Jury gave a verdict for plaintiff of £l3. Yesterday, about one hundred persons dined to,.tetster at the Crow n and Anchor Tavern, to celeb'ate the anni versary of the acquittal of Messrs. HARDY, Honst TOt.KE, and THELWALL, in Mt. Tuesday afternoon, a fire broke out in the large calico printing-house belonging to Messrs. Burton and Sons, at Rhodes, near Middleton, which was shortly consumed, with its valuable c-ntents. A short time ago, a search having been made antottg some ancient papers in fletim's Hospoal, Edinburgh, the re vas discovered a challenge t , ) mortal con,bat, ad dressed by the famotis Roh Roy to the Duke of Mont rose. It is in excellent preset vation, and not a doubt can be entertained of its authenticity. It is at . pre ent in the hands of one of the sub-:ib.stri ins of the Advo :ate,' Libtary. WESLEYAN MISSIONARY SOCIETY. • - toe immense- Methodist Chipel, near tpitAlEeLls Church, WAS crowded to overflowing last night, being the Anniversa:y of the Spitalfields'Branch of the Mis- si •irsi y S . JosEtqf BUrTERWORTiI t ESQ. M.P. took the Chair; and after prayers had been offered up by ore of the Ministers present, addressed the Meeting. He felt 'a very lively interest, not only in the general cause of Missions. but in the special Association then assembled in'that cause. The place of Meeting cated up many recollections of no ordinary character. S i :italfields must ever he asso:iated in the minds of those who heard him with remembrances of the time, when the ancestors of manyifthen present, had fled from Fra-ce to avoid per. secutin on account of their religious opinions. They ha.: establi bed themselves and the silk trade in that distriCt, where tl.ey found an asylum from their oppres sors, and many thousands of the inhabitants had since derised their subsistence from that branch of martifac- Lure. He regretted that no efforts had yet been made by ti.e descendants of these inge.tious artisans, to send back . to France some spiritual return for the tem i roral blessings derived from that country. It wss delightful to know that there was a revival of true aeiigion in ft mice. lire Spitalfields is Lrgely indebted to Pagan as well at to Christian lands. The largest portion of the rise material for the silk trade is derived from the remote Ind es. PaostneNce has given us a connection with it any mi lions of idolaters, ti,rough whom we .•btain .he means of exercising industry for the support Of our lanaes, and fcr supplying the higher classes with many luxuries and cor&orts. How anxious then should al be. tich and poor al•lc!, to diffuse blessings amongst these Pagan coanti ie.. Indeed the connection between England and the E4st seems intended to bring about the great designs of littor IDENCIL fur evangelizing the world. The Secretary then read the Report, whence it appeared that the Spitalfields Branch had contributed .C. 141 to the Parent Society during the year. More than half this suns was raised by the Ladies, to whom thanks were eminently due. The MA'. JAMES NUERSON thought, that the expression of Dr. Southey, speaking of the period in which Wesley lived, was appli csble to the present ta:e of things. They are "stirring times."— The Rev. Gent. spoke warmly in favour of Missionary Societies. The Rev. JADIM BUNTING said he should be both case-hardened and face-hardened, if he spoke much, after all the hints he got to be brief. First, he was told at the doer, that nobody should speak more than 15 minutes. Not even the secretaries—matter-of-fact men ! Secondly, that if he merely said, " ditto" to the Resolution be had to second, that was quite enough. Thirdly, a watch was I actually put into his hand that he might not transgress; and the chapel clock was before his eyes—so that it was not likely he should go astray, with clock and watch admonishing him. But the best security of all was, that he had really nothing to say. After these prefatory remarks, the Reverend Gentleman continued in a very eloquent strain to harangue the Meeting, on the idolatry prevailing in India, and the utility of Missions.—lle then put the watch on the table, saying that it was an offeting to the Missionary cause front some persoa who probably hid ant. ther watch, and did not wish to keep two. This reminded him of . . l‘lr. How ;rd's maxim :—" Our superfluities should give way to other people's convt.niences ; our conveniences to other ptop:e's necessities; aid even our necessities to other people's pressing ex tremities." The same NIG Howard said, " Every eountry.in the world is alike to me ; for everywhere that I go, I find misery in them all." The Rev. Mr. Msasoxm, and other Gentlemen, then addressed the Meeting, which did not conclude till a late hour. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. BETTING-ROOM, TATTERSALL'S, Nov. 7.
