COURT OF CHANCERY, DECEMBER ELEPHANT AND CASTLE CHARITY. Mr. SHADWELL„ when this petition was called on, ' stated that it stood in the paper to-clay to be spoken upon. His Lordship's communication had been made to the Dean and Chapter of Canterbury respecting this Chat ity, and au intimation had been ►eturced, that they had not yet had sufficient time to enable them to say hAt steps they ought to take; therefore, the Learned Counsel had to pray that the matter might be again allowed to stand over, to afford the Dean and Chapter an opportunity of maturely cots.ideriug it. His LORDSHIP ►rally thought the Dean and Chapter ought ttnutnish the Court with their answer by the first Seal after Christmas. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, DECEMBER IL SANDERS AND ANOTHER V. LORD TOURLOW. This was an action against Lord Thurlow, upon' a bond for £1,500, payable by three instalments of . £5OO each ; the Noble Lord had suffered judgment to, go by default ; but by the terms of the condition to the bond, it became necessai y to txecute a Writ of Inqui , y at Nisi Prius, which writ was HOW cdlled on—the bond was put in, and the Jury assessed the amount due to the plaintiffs for principal and interest at £l,63s.—llamages One Shilling. raANctsy. HE DEMON. This was an action of assault and false imprisonment. Mr. BROUGHAM stated the case. The plaintiff was a g►ocer, in Earle -street, in the northern part of this town. A Lady named Grosvenor, with whom the de fendant, a foreign doctor of medicine, was on terrtil of clo.e intimacy, had some time since lodged in Earle street, and left the neighbourhood in the plaintiff's debt, for grocery go•ids. The plaintiff traced the Lady to a country dwelling; at Shepherd's Bush; and having taken out a summons against her in the County Court, proceeded in person, on the 25th of May last, to serve her with the process On arriving at her house, the Doctor came out, and refused the plaintiff an interview with the Lady, and desired him to quit the premises. The plaintiff said he would nisi go avatay until he had accomplished the purpose of his errand; upon , which the Doctor sent for a constable, and' gave the plaintiff in custody for a breach of the peace, and ordered the constable to lock him up.—The constable, however, refuses to proceed to that extre mity, as there .Wa3 a Magistrate then sitting at Hammer smith, who would hear any cause of coinp!aint against the plaintiff. The defendant then desired him to take the plaintiff before the Justice. Accordingly, the plaintiff was taken before the Magistrate, who, upon hearing the complaint, dismissed it as frivolous and vexatious, and advised the plaintiff to bring his action for false impri sonment. This advice be adopted, and now sought a recompen,e in damages for the unjustifiable conduct of the defendant. The plaintiff had been detained in cus tody of the constable- for nearly an hour, and he had been subjected to the unpleasant exposure of walking a mile and d half through a populous neighbourhood, with i constable at his heels. Witnesses having been es.imined, Mr. DEN:JAN addressed the Jury in mitigation of damages.—He admitted that the plaintiff must have a verdict—a frothing damages would be quite sufficient to satisfy die justice of the case, inasnuch as the de. fendant would have to pay the costs on both sides. The Cum. JUSTICR said, the plaintiff must have their verdict. The Jury would say what damages they would give, recollecting that the Lblendant would be liable only fur taxed costs. The plain tiff would have to pay his own extra costs. The Jury found for the plaintiff—Damages, Ten Pounds. SHERIFFS' COURT, DECEMBER It. AFFAIR BETWEEN BELCHER AND CRIBB. This day an inquisition was held before Mr. HENCH*I MAN, the Under Sheriff of Middlesex, for the purpose of assessing the damage sustained by Mr. Belcher, in consequence of his having been assaulted by Mr.Cribb, at a late dinner in the sporting worli. Cribb suffered judgment to go by default. Mr. ADOLPHUS appeared for the plaintiff. Though the names of the parties night lead them to anticipate much fun, he saw no fun in the pi esent case. Ile would not indulge in any abuse of in ize-fighting. Althcugh those who fought were paid for fighting, he could nut see that the natural spirit of the people of this country —a spirit which cherished courage, and inspired manly strength—he could not f ee how this spirit could be gratified if such fighting was not reduced to a science. He, however, would offer no remarks on the practice of pugilism, as it was politely called. He was not there either to eulogize the practice, or to censure it. The plaintiff was certainly 'lot the distinguished Bel cher, who was abort twenty years ago the Champion of England, and gave name to handkerchiefs. It was Tom Belcher, bro:her to Jem Belcher, the Champion. Tom, too, had fought his man. The defendant was Tom Cribb, long the Champion of England, until he chose to abdicate. In case of encounters of this kind, parties fought as passion prompted and accident di rected, but in this case the defendant ought to have had some consid.aation of the difference of weight, of size, and of vigour. It seemed that a considerable sum had been staked upon Martin, a baker, and facetiously styled Master of the Rolls ; a dinner was given at Burn's, in Great Windmill -street, and after dinner this assault took place. (The Learned Gentleman described' the circumstances.) Cribb was at least four stone heavier than Belcher, and therefore so much his overmatch as a boy of eighteen to a boy of eight. This case . called for a liberal allowance. If men possessed of such -su perior weight and skill were allowed to assault in this w.ay, it would be the greatest mischief, and generate the worst violence. Men of the-profession had hitherto been particularly reserved in private, but this defendana had acted otherwise, and the Jury would award damages against him according to the impropriety and violence of the assault. Mr. Atkinson—l was at the dinner when this hap. pened. Belcher came in at seven in the evening, on the 21st 'October, at Ben Burn's, Great Windmill. street. There were fifty or sixty present. Crilib and Spiing camq in together. They sat at the opposite end, of the room from Belcher. A dispute arose on a bet' laid on a former night. Spring said something respect. ing Belcher's bet. Belcher rose to reply, but Was not heard. Cribb said he did not hear him. Belcher' leaned forward with his hand.on the table, in order to be nearer Cribb to be heard. Cribb laiil hold of his hand and struck him set eral blows on the face. Belcher was in an attitude in which be could not fight. His mouth bled. Air. CHAS. Pralwrs cross-ertmitred witness—l am neither a lover nor a practitioner of the science; it was about a match the dinner was; porter, wine, brandy, gin, were drank; I von% say that a guinea was tip pace ; it was according as our pockets afforded; n • • cost file 21. In my hearing Ifieicher , made no chargé against Cribb ; I did not hear Cribb charged with keep ing 30/. of stake-money in his pocket ; I can't say why Cribb left his seat and went to Belcher; I .heard no thing angry said by Belch?r to Cribb ; these was some quarrelling, I dare say. (There was a long keen sparring he r e bet we e n ,C o un s el and witne ss , to eli c it some evidence of a charge by Belcher)..44 want none uf your quibbling and nonsense, Mr. Phillips; I heard blackguard language; both saiJ d—ir your eyes and limbs. After Belcher rose to speak, he went down op posite to Cribb, and leaned down on the table ; Belcher stopped about an hour afterwards; I had several glasses of wine afterwards; Belcher is a publican ; I never saw him fight ; it is well known that he has fought many battles; Cribb is well known to be a fighter, and an AI-fashioned one too ; I keep the Green Man, at Tot tenham; I had James Burn in training there; he was the other party ; I know his uncle Ben very well offered to make it up, and offered a glass of wine, but Belcher refused it; I did not hear Cribb say it would be better than to give money to the d—d lawyers; I had a bet of some half-crowns and some ale. Cross-examined-1 took Belcher away : his face at least was in danger; Cribb is far the stronger; the sixty or seventy persons were all talking, and there was much noise. By Mr. PHILLIP.3—Piercs Egan was in the Chair. Mr. Fletcher, a braker, was not at the. dinner, but went in about seven or _eight o'clock ; Belcher was in the room, Cribb was not. After Cribb came in sume ,few words occurred between Spring and Belcher ; Spring made a speech, something about holding money : Belcher attempted to speak, but • was not heard. Belcher came to the part of the room where Cribb was opposite to him; Cribb struck Belcher, who was lean ing down on the table : I think he struck him more than once. Belcher said he would ter ye him, which I thought alluded to law. Cribb jumped on the table, and got down upon Belcher: I should have thought Belcher might have received great harm from it. 1 said Cribb did very wrong, and that it was a shame, particularly among fighting men. Belcher refused to make it up, and went away. Cross-esamined—l can't tell what Belcher said. There was only one man between us, bur 1 could not hear what he said. I think Mr. Atkisson was the man between us; both were in a passion. Mr. Belcher was angry, and addressed his angry words to Cribb. 1 did not hear him call him a b—y rogue. I should think Mr. Belcher went away ten minutes after the wrangle. Cribb went to Belcher and called for wine. I did not hear him offer to give Belcher a new coat, for that all " the injury was to his coit." Mr. C. PHILLIPS addiessed the Jury for the defen dant. He regretted to be called upon to interfere in such a case, but the duty he had to perfoim was one of no unpleasant nature as regarded his own client, who had, in a moment of heat and conviviality, raised his' hand to a brother pugilist, who, whatever claims he might have had to the character for moderation, gene rally speaking, had certainly conducted himself in such a manner at the dinner as to deserve castigation. It was admitted that the honour of Mr. Cribb had been. called in question by him, and if a man who had long been distinguished as the Champion of-England was to' pocket an iltsult, offered to him in ate midst of a corn• pany, of which he was considered as an idol, what would have been said? why, that Mr. Cribb was afraid to resent an insult—that although he was ready to fight for mtssey, he was unwilling to fight fOr his own cha 'racter. But the fact was, Mr. Belcher had calculated upon the well known forbearance of this prince of pugi lists. and believi ng that it would be exeicised towards himself, went up to him and actually bearded him while he was employed in addressing the room with an extraordinary degree of eloquence. This was not to be endured, and an intimation was given by Mr. Cribb, in the usual manner in which hints were given when men went too far with their jokes. After all, the plaintiff sustained no injury, and it would be unfair to punish him by any greater than nominal damages. The Jury assessed the damages at 101. The moment the verdict was given, Belcher, who was present in Court, declared it to be his intention not to take a shilling nut of his opponent's pocket, and gene mud), sent a friend to communicate this to Cribb. ANOTHER GENTLEMAN APPREHENDED FOR FORGERY. For the last four years a Mr. Savery, the son of a banker in Bristol, has been carrying on a business in that city as a .sugar-refiner, in conjunction with a Mr. Saward. Their reputation was'unimpeachable, and their la c redit extensive; latterly, howeyer, as it is reported, Mr. Savery, who was the managing partner, extending the business beyond the capital, and rather than expose lie necessities of the concern, resorted to raising money on Acceptances, which now turn out to be forged. About ten days ago he left Bristol for London, under pretence of attending to the business of the firm, and wrote in a day or two after to excuse himself, on account of-illness, from immediately returning, and his wife and family left apparently to attend him. On Sunday se'nnight his-partner, received intelligence that excited alarm ; a Meeting of some of the principal bill holders was con vened ; forgeries to a great extent appeared, one Gen tleman alone holding bills to the amount of several thousand's; the partner was dispatched to London to make enquiries after the offender. At Bath, he met Mrs. Saver y, her son, and her father and mother, on their return to Bristol. They said Mr. Savery had left the Thames for America. The partner, on arriving in Lon don, gained information which led him to suspect that the fugitive might join the 86 Hodson," which left the Thames on the 3d instant, and was then at Cowes. He immediately went to the latter place, and on going on board the Hudson, discovered his unfortunate partner, passing under the name of Henry Serrington. The of-. fender was taken into custody on Thursday last, and conveyed to Bristol in a state of great mental agony and despondency. Extract of a letter, dated Cowes, Dec. I 0.—" Sailed yesterday, the American ship Hudson, Champlin, mas ter, fur New York, with passengers. When the ship was under weigh, a Mr. Savery, merchant, at-Bristol, who 'tad embarked en board her the preceding day, was, • taken out of dill ship by a constable from• this place, accompanied by a Gentleman, who is a partner of his ; it appears he is suspected of forgery. Immediately Mr. 'Savvy saw his partner come alongside the Hudson, he threw bimSelf overboard, but was prevented being drowned. He then attempted to make au ay with him self, by dashing his head against the.side of the ship."

A fire broke Out last Friday morning, in the south east corner of that magnificent pile of buildings ' the new quadrangle of Trinity College, Cambridge. The first alarm was given about ten o'clock in the morning, and in about a quarter of an hour an engine was brought to bear upon the I- trading. Few persons only having col lected in the first instance, the fire had gained some head by half-pas ten, and flames burst out from every window; by this time, however, a very larg e number had assembled, and two mote engines were nought in, which played with great success; at a little after eleven, several men having reached the top of the building, took off the slates, and two pipes being conveyed there, and a large supply of water procured, they poured it down wards in torrents. This expedient proved highly effec tual, and happily by twelve o'clock the fire was com pletely extinguished. It broke out in the ground floor, where a number of doors and planks had been placed to dry, and the damage consists principally in tie large quantity of timber which has been destroyed. The out side is very little injured, but the Roots and ceilings are nearly demolished. The Master and Fellows of Trinity College, were indefatigable in their exertions and giving the necessary orders in every directions, while the Mem 4rers of the University in general laudably Rocked from every College to assist in bringing pails of water to supply the engines. Four double rows were formed with the greatest regularity.to the river, and had it not been for the immense nnml.ers, and the promptitude and regularity with which they assisted, the fire wouktl in evitably have been attended with the most serious re sults. No lives were in danger, as the south and east sides of the quadrangle are not yet inhabited. There was a very large supply of most aorta of Grain, and a con siderable quantity of Flour last week. "This morning the fresh arrlvaleof Wheat, Barley, Beans, and Peas, from Essex, Kent, and Suffolk are good ; there are also several vessels in from the Northern ports and Ireland, with Wheat and Oats.
