thin this was not done in the present case. The warrant of commitment merely stated, " that the said Robert Gourliy had been discovered under circum stances wh:ch denoted a derangement of mind, and an intention to commit a crime. vie. an assault for which be might be indicted;' and it then proceeded thus:-- « - and the said Robert Gourley being brought before in% and it 4ppearing to me that I ought to i-sue a war rant for - his commitment, as a dangereous person, sus- Oected to be ipso e, I therefore require you (the Governor of the House of Correction) to keep him in your custody until be shall be bailed. according to the statute, or dis charged in doe course of la Now he(Mr.C.) submitted, that the warrant did nor, according to the provisions of theActof Parliament, plainly set forth the cause of the commitment. If the-accused were brought up before ttittirtiirdahips to be bailed, they would be in entire iknorarnce of the circumstances under which he had Oen committed. and would not know what bail to require. This was a most extraordinary power given to rnagiattiites, and it was therefore of the greatest conse quence that it should be guarded ag'ainst abuse. The Legislature had indeed guarded it, tfy providing that the' cause ache commitment should be expressed in the warrant. The present warrant, however, merely stated that the party was supposed to be about to commit an assault and breech of the peace, and that he was sus pected to bean insane and dangerous person. There wait no statement of the circumstances from which this inference was drawn, although the whole of the cir drtbstarnes ought to have been set forth in the warrant, ifs leder that their Lordships might be able to determine *tether the committing magistrate had come to a right conclusion. Mr. Justice BABLRY—The warrant, I think, follows nearly the words of the Act of Parliament. -MP. CAMPBELL—Certainly, my Lord, as nearly as it Obit but still I submit that that is not sufficient. The Act kequites that something more should be done than merely following the words of it. it requires that the cause of the commitment shall be clearly expressed in the warrant; that the substance of the alleged offence shall be stated, together with the time and place when and where committed; and it should be made to ap• pear that evidence of the facts was given before the Ma- Ziscrate. This, in substance, is a conviction, and the warrant ought to have the qualities of a coaviction; • ' but -here them is nothing to shew that any evi decree was given before the Magistrate. It does not even appear that the Magistrate was, present. or that any . evidence was laid be fo re him. Agaipi it.ought to hate appeared that Mr. Goutlay was put upon his defence, and that he bad•hael an opportunity of disproving the charge brought against-him; but nothing of this kind heated to havetaken place. Could ithave been intended by the Legislature. that onder this Act of Parliament a Magisttate trould have the power of committing a penile to prison under a suspicion of his being insane, by-merely, " it appears so and so," without particu larising the circumstances which led to the conclusion of his being a deranged and dangerous person? It was clear that the Act of Parliament intended that the whole of the circumstances should be clearly and explicitly stated on the fete of the warrant ;• and they not being so stated in this case, he (Mr. Canipbell) contended that the warrant of commitment was insufficient, and that the party was entitled to the remedy he sought. The Judges conferred together for several minutes . Mr. CAMPBELL suggested, that if the Court thought proper to grant the habeas corpus, the question of the illegality of the commitment might be further consi dered when the prisoner was brought up. Lord TiNTERDEN.— The difficulty is to knew who is to appear an the other side to oppose the writ.

The Learned Counsel stated, that an aco eethetodation bill had been given by Collier the bank.. -vitt/ tathe house of Wetton, Payne, and Co. and from them:kind come into the hands of Tatlock and Fel-. 'loves .(liellowes as the surviving partner of the firm being Mr:present defendant). The bill became due in .

An agreement between the plaintiff and defendant WAS signed in the usual form. by which it was stipulated to complete the purchase on a day named. Subseque: tly, however, a defect was discovered in the vender's title, and on the part of the plaintiff a notice was given to the defendant, as auctioneer, not to p a y over the deposit money to the plaintiff. He had, how ever. already paid it over ; and at the trial it win con. tenci,d on his part that such payment exonerated him from all liability to the plaintiff. Lord Tenterden, however, directed a nunsuit, on the ground that the de Pendant, as stakeholder between the parties, ought to have retained the money in his hand until the purchase was ready for completion, or at all events until all objec tions to the title were removed. • Mr. Fot.t.ary now applied for a rule to spew cause why the nonshit should riot be set aside, and a new trial granted. Although his Lordship (Lord Tenterden) had on the trial laid great stress on the circumstance of the defendant having signed the agreement, yet he (Mr. Follett)should submit that the defendant had not by that act rendered himself personally liable. He contended that if .n auctioneer paid over deposit money before he received notice to the contrary, or before he knew that any objection to the tide was made, no acti n would lie against him. There was not, he admitted, any di rect authority for this doctrine : but it had been inci dentally advertei to in many cases where the question of liability of auctioneers had come - helots the Court. At all events he submitted, on the authority of many cases which he could cite, that an action for money had and received (which .the present was) would not lie against a party being a known agent, who had received no notice not to part with the money. Mr. Justice liirtny—The defenclaint, you know, receives the money as a stakeholder, and therefore in paying it over he is guilty of a breach of his duty. It was his duty to hare retained the deposit till all the conditions of sale had been colbplie4 with. Lord TIDITICRDZs—His duty is to keep the money; I am verrunwilling to cast even the shadow of doub upon the liabilky of auctioneers in such cases ; but we will hear what you have to say. Mr. FOLLSTT said there were several case; in which the Judges had declared that an auctioneer was not lia. ble in an action for money had and received, unless he paid the money over after notice. The Learned Counsel then cited the case of " Hardacre v, Stewart," in Espi. nassee Reports, and "Ed w auis v. Hodding," " Lee, and Bunn,' and " Horsebeld and Handley," in sth and filch Taunton. It had been considered in ibtne cases ,that an auctioneer was a stakeholder, but in the present case the defendant had been employed on the part of the vender only, and did not Act as an agent of both parties. An auctioneer employed as the defendant - had been could not be cosisideresi a stakeh older, for if he became insolvent while be-held the depbsit, thp loss would fall Go the vender. .He was therefore elausiVily the agent of the vender, and the mere receipt of the diposit Money . did not make beat a. stakeholder. • • . • -,..

Here the defendant, acting for his principal, signed the con act iii such terms as rendered it personally binding upon himself. If an auctioneer were not to be made bode an such a ease as this, instances might occur where a vender being in needy circumstances, might get the money into- his own hands, the consequence of which would bet bat the auctioneer would be exonerated from aU responsibility, and all confidence in purchases at auctions woul.kbe destroyed.—:Rule refused.

IVWILLIAM. • ' This was an action of libel, which it was alleged wool contained in a letter written by the defendant to the Co►rtmittee of the Battle•bridge and Holloway. road Company, of which the plaintiff was clerk and agent. This letter directly charged the plaintiff with having been guilty of prrjury in the evidence given by him, before a Sheriff's Jury. The case was tried a few trays since, before the Lord Chief Justice, at Guildhalls when a verdict was returned for the plaintiff—Damages 40s. M►. Serjeant Musa, on the part of the defendant, now mowed for a rule to show cause why that verdict should not be set aside, and a new trial granted, on the ground of 11 d.isstirection on the part of the Judge in leaving it to the Jury.

LONGMAN AND OTUEAS. - Iwthis.ease an action of damages for libel had been wriest by she plaintiff, a teacher of languages, agaihst the defendants. The case had been tried in the Sittings after last Michaelmas Term, and sc verdict found for the defendants. The circumstances are fresh in the public mind. Tbis day Mr. Baeuerium moved for a rule to thew cause why that veraid.ahould not be •et aside, and a new trial granted, on the ground that the Learned Judge who tried the cause (the Lord Chief Baron) had erroneously instructed the Jury to find for the defendants, if the plaintiff could adduce no proof of hawing sufferedloss through the libel. Mr. Brougham argued, that this direction of the Learned Judge, though correct in a cases/ verbal libel, or spoken slander, was erroneous in the present case of published libel, and, as such. calculated to turn away the attention of the Jury from the nature of the libel. • The Lotto.

Upon being informed that she must pay the rates, she begged to know what benefit she was to derive from discharging the amount? The Loan MAYOR told her that she would have, amongst other things, the benefit of seeing and hearing the worthy Bishop preach in the Church every Sunday. The defendant said that she was a Roman Catholic, and obliged to contribute to the support of her pastor, who had no other means of maintenance, than that which the liberality of his sock afforded. Besides, the benefit. which had been just described couki not be re ceived by her without more payment. If she thought flt to go to the Church, she mast pay for her seat, so that the demand made now upon her yeas not at all to be justified. She hoped that the worthy and humane Bishop of Chester would reflect upon all this, and remit the rate in her instance. The Loan Maros said, that it was his duty, in compliance with the Act of Parliament, to make the order. His Lordship allowed the defendant a preparation to.pay of three months. GUILDHALL. Saturday Mr. Colk, the chemist, who resides opposite the clock of St. Dunstan's Church, in Fleet-street, informed the Magistrate, that about six o'clock on Friday evening a small bullet, from au air gun, passed through the fan light over his shop window, and per. limited a pound of hair powder within a gimp case on the opposite side of the shop. That there was not an intention to kill any one belonging to the premises •he inferred from .the facility with which the gun might have been fired from the part of the Church directly opposite his house. He conjectured that it was intended fur some! persan who was riding on the top of a stagecoach. Mr. Alderman CROWDER said it was a strange affair, and be hoped the mention now made of it might be the means of übtainink some information. lie thought Mr. L. 1% ilk would do well to advertise a reward.for the discovery. Mr. Colk said he was not under alarm for himself ; but he fitmly believed it had been aimed at some one with a 'diabolical intent. BO W.STREET. Saturday. two grave nistrotily.looking women, stewardesses of a club calling themselves " The Female Britons Friendly Society," were summoned to shew cause why they withheld from Mary Shenton, a sick member of the society, the usual weekly allowance of eight shillings. The claim was resisted on the ground that the funds of the society were exhausted. The Magistrate, however, would nut admit the excuse, and an amicable arrangement was effected under his directions. A hook, containing the rules and orders of the society, was pro- duced by the stewardesses, from which we were tempted to extract the following passage, which precedes the list of rules and regulation.: " Female Britons' Friendly Society. In the name of Goo be our proceedings; for this cause we establish ourselves, to aulst one another in the casualties which may befall us in all our ways, that we may nut turn ourselves from the ways of righteousness and eqeity, and that no vain glory be in our undertakings, but whol:y to be of one mind, and to assist one another as sisters united by this society, calling ourselves Female Britons,' who have thought fit to unite ourselves in sisterly love and friendship, and to maintain and support these our orders, rules, and regulations, for the good of every member belonging thereto, fur the tuilowing reasons : '• First—That the institution being so just and equitable iu itself, that it is justifiable before Goo and sumo." The Society, it appears, have their meetings at the Plough, in Beaufort buildings, and although they seem to dispute the supre macy of man, they are needy all of them married women, and sworn to " love, hoitod, add obey." Thalia Dennis was charged with committing a felony in the benne of Dr. Jeokins, Ns. 8, Great Castle-street, Regent-street, on the 3d of December last. The prisoner, it appeared, tie the day in question, saw the porter of Meurs. Hailing and Co. inquiring in Castle-street for the house of Dr. Jenkins, where he had to leave sonic goods. The prisoner immediately offered the porter his services to help him to carry the goods and show him the house of Dr. Jenkins. Having delivered the goods at the residence of that Gentleman, the porter was directed to call on his return home, and take back to . his employers a Swiss stress, two bodies for dresses, linen fur sic shirts, and a pattern shirt. 'lle prisoner having accont panied the porter to other places where be had to call to deliver goods, in the neighbourhood of the Regent's Park, suddenly left him, and, as it afterwards appeared, returned immediately se the house of Dr. Jenkins, where be obtained the goods for which the porter was directed to call. A description of the prisoner's person having been advertised, he was taken into custody on Friday by Herring, a couductor of patrol. Upon searching the prisoner, 141 b. of soap were found in his po ion, with the word " Lona" or " Luna" written upon the paper. " Sir IL- BIRPill; in remanding the-prisoner for a ,re-examination,. 'observed that be had reason to believe that he was in the habit of practiiing similar frauds upon the public, and he hoped that publicity would be given cu the ease, which, in all protiability, would bring forward persons who bad suffered by his fraudulent practices. The prisoner was ordered to be brought up again nest Friday. ARLIJOROUGH-SlittliT. Saturday, a man named reeky. was charged with assaulting a fe male named Harrington, and with having murdered her infant. The complainant deposed, that on the itBth of Deceniber she went into Dtury-lane to look after her husband, who was drinking far one of the public-houses, and among the houses she entered was one known by the name. of the Compasses. There she met the prisoner, who said, "Oh I you are one -of the gang," and he then kicked her several times iu the stomach, although she was widdn three weeks of her accoucheinent."•--' She declared sbe bad never seen the man before in ber life. and was endeavouring to get away from him as speedily as possible, when be followed her, and abused Ler in a most wands- Jahns manner, and beat her about the head and face. She was very ill at the time in consequence of the prisoner's violence. On the 14th instant she was delivered of the child of which -she was pregnant when ill treated by the prisoner, but such injuries bad the Infant received that it presented a most horrid spectacle, and was quite dead. The midwife who attended the complainant in her accouche. ment partly corroborated her testimony. Mr. Dees commented in. 'strong terms on his brutal conduct, and ordered him to find bail for his appearance at the Sessions. QU EEN-SQU A UK Saturday Mr. Oldfield, of Stafford-place, Pimlico, appeared upon a warrant to answer the following charge, preferred against bins by Mrs. Maria Platt. There was a cross warrant against the com plainant at the instance of the defendant. Mrs. Platt stated that she resides next door to the defendant. On last Thursday his servant swept some dirt on the steps of her door; she ordered it to be cleared away; the defendant came out and swore he would " do for witness;" he then went into the garden, and threw some pieces of brick at her window, and said he would murder her. This statement was corroborated by other witnesses. The defendant, on being asked for his defence ' said he had, for a long time, been annoyed by the complainant's family. The dart was swept on his steps by her servant, in the first instance, and when he went out to clear it away, Mrs. Platt emptied the coaceuts of a certain household utensil upon his head, and almost smo thered bins. Mr. Meamorr said he would not decide the case until he heard the cross charge. Mr. Oldfield being sworn as complainant, repeated the statement he made in his defence, which was confirmed by witnesses called on his behalf. lir. ?Cilium: said, it appeared from the evidence that Mrs. Platt was the first aggressor; he should, therefore, distnibs both warrants.
