LAW LAW IN EELLIUENCE. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, OVILDHALL, Jaw. 19. Sittings before Lord Tentimost and Common Juries. • nlOO3 AND ANOTHER D. VELLOWE!. This was an action by the assignees of a bankrupt named Collier, to recover a sum of money which had btien Arid by him, after the commission of an act of bankruptcy. to the defendant, the surviving partner of the firm of Tatlock and Fellowes. From the evidence of the bankrupt Collier, it appeared that that person had given an accommodation acceptance for 1541. to the house of Welton, Payne, and . Co. who epdorsed it over to Tatlock and Fellowes. Messrs. Wetton and Co. having become bankrupts, Tatlock and Fellowes sued Collier for the amount, and after.wards took from him a warrant of attorney , p a y able by instal. menus. Subsequently Collier committed an act of bank ruptcy ; notwithstanding which he paid two of the in stalments upon the warrant of attorney, and Messrs. Tatlock and Fellowes issued an execution against Col lier's goods, which were sold, and the proceeds paid over to them. To recover the amount of the sums thus im properly paid, the present action was brought. The defence was, that the warrant of attorney had been-given to Tatlock alone, after the. partnership be tween him and the defendantFellowes had been dissolved. After some discussion between the Counsel, it was agreed that a verdict should be taken for the plaintiff, with leave for the defendant to move to set it aside, and enter a nonsuit.—Verdict accordingly for 1541. COWER AND ANOTHER b. HARRIS AND ANOTHER. This was an action of trover, by the assignees of J ames Robertson, a bankrupt, to recover the value of certain articles of jewellery pledged with the defendants be tween the 14th of March and the 19th of April, 1825. The ATTORNEY GENERAL and Mr.Cuorry conducted the plaintiff's case. It appeared that the bankrupt Robertson carried eal the business of a wholesale jeweller, in Red Lion Street, Clerkenwell, atidloas in the habit of raising money to meet hit engagements by pledging his goods ; and at the time of his bankruptcy, goods to the amount of 10.0001. according to his valuation, were in pawn. The articles which formed the subject of the present action consisted of emeralds, diamonds, pearls, rubies, &c. the value of which was about 3001. These had been pledged with the defendants, who were Jews, carrying on the business of pawnbrokers,in theStrand,duting the mouths of March and April, 1825, subsequently to the period when Robertson had committed an act of bankruptcy. It was stated that the defendants, in order to evade the provisions of the Pawnbrokers Act of the 39th and 40th of Geo. 111. c. 99, and to obtain more than the legal rate of interest, split the sums lent at one time (which sometimes amounted to upw arils of 401. into several sums, making e +eh appear on the duplicates to be under or not above 101. and dated the tickets on different days. This colourable mode of dealing being usurious, the plaintiffs contended that they were entitled to recover in the action, independently of the pledging after the commission of an act of bankruptcy. The evidence to support the case was principally do cumentary. The act of bankruptcy was proved to have been committed on the 26th of February, 1825. The commission was dated the 14th of May, 1825. The examination of one of the defendants, taken before the Commissioners under the bankruptcy, was put in and read, for the purpose of showing that the greater past of the goods in question had been pledged within two calendar months from the date of the commission.— In this examination it seemed to be admitted, though not in express terms, that the defendants had lent mire than ten pounds on pledges at one time, though the duplicates were dated r.O different days; in one iwatance the goods comprised in five tickets, dated the 18th, 19th, 21st, 22J, and 233 of Nl•ach, 1825, were stated to have come into the defendants' possession on the 38th of March, 1825 ; and in answer to an inquiry of the Commissioners whether they came in on the same hour 'of the day, it was stated that they "came in together;' as far as the defendants recollected. The sums comprised in these five duplicates amounted in the aggregate to 451. othei parcels of jewellery com prised in four duplicates, dated the 24:h, 25:11, 26th, and 'Bth of March, 1825, were stated to have been pledged on the 24th of March, 1825, " all at one tftne.” The sums comprised in these duplicates (being 101. each) amounted to 401 s { The case being thus proved, the ATTORNEY GENERAL proposed to give some general evidence et the value of rue goods. He observed, that as the usual amount lent by pawnbrokers on goods pledged with them was sel dom .more than one half the actual value, he would doable the different sums lent by the defendants, and take the aggregate amount as the sum to be recovered in the present action. The duplicates were then put in; but it was proposed, on the part of the defendants, to deliver tip the goods, in case the Jury should thick the plaintiffs entitled to recover in this action. -Mr. F. PocLoca.then addressed the Jury for the de fendants, and submitted, That as to the goods pledged on the 14th of March, 1825, there was no evidence to strew that they had been all pledged on one and the same• day, though it appeared that they had been 46 brought in" at one and the same time. Lord TENTERDEN, in summing up, observed, that the question for the Jury to determine was,whether the goods referred to in the examinaiion of one of thodefendants,as basing come in on thel4thMarch,ls2s,were all pledged .at oneandthe same time? If they were of opinion that they were all pledged together, the defendants had acted illegally in dividing them into three different parts, for the purpose *f receiving a larger rate of interest than. the Act of Parlianveot authorised. lf, as the defendants' 'Counsel contended, the goods were not all pledged oat the 14th of March, the defendants might have pm.: duced their books, to show the real nature of the trans . action. They had not done so, ncr had they in their examination before the Cosnmissioners under the bank -roptcy, stated that they were not all pledged on thati day. As to the other articles there could be no ques tion, and therefore if the Jury thought that the de fendants bad resorted to the contrivance of making out separate duplicates for one and the same pledge, in order •to obtain a higher rate of interest than they were by law entitlectto,they would find a.verdict for the plaintiffs. • The Jury immediately setaraed a verdict for the plaintiffs. It speed bet Comm] on both osides,aw the verdict should be :entered for the damages laid ii the declaration, which were to be reduced to Is. on the defendants delivering op to the ! plaintiffs the several • goods pledged in Match and April last. Shortly before four o'clock on Saturday, a poor man, sawed Allen, whu was cleaning the windows of the first Boor in Clacke's baby linen warehouse,within thieir doors of Temple Bar, fell from sihire he'was standing into the street, and had his stall, *title above the tett ear, dreadfully fractured.

Mr. Thompson was concealed in Mr. Dodd's house on the night in question, when the defendants went to take him upon a writ of Middlesex. It was alleged, that on their arrival they did not ask for Thompson, but for a person named Palmer ; and being informed that no such pet son was there, they rushed up stairs, and were met at the top of the first flight by the prose 'tutor, whom they seized and forced down stairs. On being asked for their warrant to search the house, they said they had left it at their office. The pro secutor called for a watchman. and the defendants were taken to the watchhouseS 1 The ... prosecutor, on cross-examination admitted that thompson was in his house when the defendants came to arrest him. He also admitted, that he put in bail above for Thompson, two days after the assault was committed. to the amount of 2 000. and he had bailed him more tlikn half a dozen times. Mr. ADOLPHUS addressed the Jdry on the part of the defendants, and said, that but for the prosecutor con gealing Tnompson his caption would have been effected, and the defendants could have had no motive to commit in assault on the prosecutor.

Yesterday, about two o'cloac, as a French Gentleman was riding in a gig lilting Piccadifiy, the hone took fright and ran off, overturning tt e gig. from which the Gentleman was thrown with great violence. The horse, having dashed the gig to pieces, ran down Piccadilly at a furious pace, and several females and children very, narrowly escaped being trampled by it. The Gentle.: man, whom thigh appeared to be broken, was taken to' his house in the neighbourhood. A Lady who had' been sitting in thesis with him had alighted about a minute before the accident occurred.

The wound.which was very slight, -was dressed; but in a few days after. wards, the unfortunate man began to show evident symptoms of hydrophobia, and - although the usual means were adoptedfor mitigating the paroxysms, the unhappy patient expired, atter suffering all the tortures produced by - that dreadful milady. Previous to the fox having bitten the dedeased,the knimal was not con sidered mad; and-the men were in the habit of playing with it continually, Without any apprehension. Even after it had bitten the deceased, it exhibited no more ferocity than before the accident.

Mr. Mitesnott—What brought you to the watehhouse? Oh, said the cultivator of flowers, in a tone of indescribable gravity, I am about to write and publish the history of my life, and I came up to London in quest of adventure. I thought a night spent in the black hole of a watchhouse would furnish my readers with amusing incident, and so accordingly, hi order to be able to give them a description true to nature, I went there; for you must know, your Worship, that a barrow of practical knowledge is worth a waggon load of theory.—(Peals of laughter.) fillesnutt—Well, I hope you have been furnished with all Irma wanted?

Fuson AND Fonozar.—At a late hour on Saturday, Mr. Thomas Griffin, of the firm of Griffin and Co. silversmiths, in Leadenball 'street, gave information at this office, of the following fraud and forgery. In the middle of the preceding week a man, about 40 year* of age, dressed in deep mourning, called at Mews. Griffin and Co.'s shop, saying that he bad been directed by Messrs. Hawley, of the Strand, to whom be was shopman, to get for them a dozen of silver forks, of the old King's pattern. Mr. Griffin said, that at that moment they bad not got any forks of the description in the house, and asked if forks of his present Majesty's, pattern would not answer. Oh no, was the reply—none but the old King's will do. Mr. Griffin said they would have some home on the following Saturday, when Messrs. Hawley might have what they wanted. Accordingly on Monday last he called with the following note— " 75, Strand. 14th January, 1828. " Messrs. Hawley 's respects to Messrs. Griffin and Co. and have delayed executing the order for the old King's pittern forks, owing! to the representation of their assistant, Mr. Marchant, who in formed them that Messrs. G. and Co. would have the forks on Sa turday. The order must be imperatively executed, and sent per mail this evening. Should the forks not have been returned, Messrs. G. and Co. will let their young man look at some others, provided Messrs . . G. and Co. will exchange them for the old King's pattern to same weight, if their customer should not approve same. On reading this note Mr. S. Griffin produced three or four dozen of the forks, and wanted the supposed sbopman to take them. No, said he, I can't take more than one dozen ; the weight is 40 oz. which, at 7s. 641. per oz. (trade price), amounts exactly to 15/. and here is a check, handing one purporting to be drawn by J. T. and C. Hawley on Ransom and Co. Pall Mall. Not having the slightest conception that there•was any thing wrong in the transaction, Mr. T. Griffin put the check into his pocket, anddefivered up the torks; but, to his no smallas:onishinent, on its being presented for payment on Friday, the answer was, "No account. Application was in stantly made in the Strand, when Mr. Thomas Hawley informed Mr. Gain that the cheek was a forgery, and that he and histwo brothers, John and Chalks, had dissolved partnership more than (eight years ago. Mr. hassuou.offered the assistance of an officer to find out the swindler, but Mr. Griffin however declined being at any further eapense, but on leaving the Office he atated'his intention of appre hending hint wherever he suet him.

On Thursday last, while going along the Kilburn-road, the defendant came up to her, in a state of intoxication, and demanded to know whether she had a license ? She immediately produced it, and wished to know by what authority he made the inquiry. He spewed his staff, and said, he knew that she had smuggled goods in her cart; and he began to search the cart, which she attempted to prevent. The defendant struck her violently, and made use of language of an indecent character to her. The defendant denied the charge altogether. Mr. Itawunsort—l want to know what right you had to inter fere with the poor woman ? Defendant—l say I did.not interfere with her. Mr. 'Mew:Anson—Well, what do you say to your being drunk?
