LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF KING'S BRNO', NOV el. TRIAL AT BAR—THIRD DAY THE ZEICAITORS of JOSHUA ReWE V. BRENTON. Wisen all their Lordships had t Aro their si ets on it. Bench, and the I , ames of the Ju y being c4lled over, Lord TRNTERDIIN ohm ved that from the time which this trial bed already occupied, and which it is likely to consume Weise it is finished, it would be almost im• ro,sihle to try the other cause during the present Tet nt. His Lordship therefore sugge , ted, that those persons who were summoned on the Jury for that trial of ej.ct• ment should be discharged from attending for the present. Mt. BROUGHAM fully coincided in his Lord-hip'. suggestion, and conceived that the kittendance of the wnties•es might he dispensed v. ith on the second trial, by reithruing the JuLlge's nv.tes to be given in evidence. This application arose from the extreme age of many of t?.e svittiessts. Sir J. SCA RLETT, in reply, said, in the absence of the Attorney Lieneral he could not accede to his Learned Friend's proposal. He had, however, no &Wm his col- Itagues would afford every possible facility. As re garded the propriety sf permitting the evidence of the second trial to be taken from the Judge's notes, he fully acquiesced, as he was sure it would require a waggon s to remove the records from the Duchy of Lancaster to this Court. Lord TENTERDZN then discharged the Jury in at tendance in the case of Doe v. Brenton, informing them, ac the same time that they should have sufficient notice M hen their attendance would be required. His Lordship then addressed the Attorney General, who had just en tered the Court, and infnimcd him of the nature of Mr. ntigh rib's pr opo i inn. The A TTORN EY GENERAL said he v o.rld give the subj-et every attention, but did not cooceive he was called upon to give an immedi ice answer. Lord TENTERDIN— Certainly not. The trial was the.. proceeded %sub, by Mr. Illingworth (the first wit- Less) leading copies from the Ittcoids in t .e Inver. Tne examin , ti m of documents was continue) dulls% the whole of the day. The ATTORNEY ditsrznis 1,, in his open:ng address, said h should produce a mass of evidence, sufficient to induce Vie Learned Counsel on the oilitr si.!e. to coy Craven ! er mule than enough. The mass all e idy weighs heavy, and there remains ninety• five or six wiAle.ses to be CIA filmed. The Judges will not ci y craven, but the) st ill certaird) have enough. The business trE this day closed at six o'clock, with the esamination of a witness named Carenz '. The I.OIID Cutts JUSTICI adjourned the Coort until ten o'clock to-morrow (4)4 day). COURT OP COM MON PLR AS, Wenuntsus, Nov. 21. (Sittings in Banco ) GARDINER V. HALLAM AND ANOTHER. This was .n action ot trespass to recover the value of two hArg,s, which, rt was alleged, had been improperly se zed by the defendants, who are the assignees of a bankrupt named Rust. The case was tried a short time since before the Lord Chid Just.ce, at Guildhall, when the eskience on either side was eztreme4 long, and ot ea ezcerdingly conflicting nature. In the opinion of, the Lord Chi, f Justice the balance of the evidrnce ap peared to be in fivour of ti e defendants, and he AC• coidingly addressed ti e Jury under that impression, Informing them of his open on. The Jury, however,, west of a contrary opintot, and returned a vers;ict tot, the plaintiff. Mr. Sergeant Caoss , a few days since, obtained a rule t ► show cause why the verdict should not be set aside ; and _ _ . Mr. Sergeant Wurre this morning appea:ed to op. pose Crat rule, the Lout Chief Ju-Cce baying rearPtris note of the trial yesterday. When the Learned Ser geant was about t i commence his argumer,t, The Coustr expressed a very strong °Orli , n that the case 'qui. eJ further investigation, arid et deavoured to per: wade the Learned Sergeant to forbear fi ow opposing ttie rule. Mr. Sergeant WILDE, however, expressed a wish to go into the case now, as he flattered himself he should be able to convince their Lordships that rise verdict, not w i.hstanding the circumstances • f its not having met with the approbation of the Learned Judge, who tried lc, was right. The Coma said, that they had read the evidence of al) the witnesses who had been cAlled at ihe trial, and were decidedly of (Onion, from the very contradictory nature of that evidence, that the case ought to go before . another Jury. ,Alr. Sergeant WILDE repeated his wish to go into the case now, but added, that if their Lordships hod read the evidence of the witru sses, and la.ttf alt eady come to a conclusion upon the case, which they thought could not be altered 'by argument, he would cf crrune abstain from entering into any ; but at the same time he con fessed that he thougLt, if the Court would listen to what he really felt it his duty to urge in justice to his client, they would he of opinion that the verdict was correct. and r ugl t net to be disturbed. Mr. Justice PARR—Alter shat you /save now said, 1 for one desire that you will go on. The ether Judges—G I ors, The Learned S rgeant then proceeded in his argue merit, in the course cf which he was frequently i,aer ruined by the Court, who appeared dis-atisfiei at his apparent obstivacy. &fine Ise concluth-d, he st..teo that the Lord Chief Justice had left the case to theJu: 1 as-a .fraudulent preference. The LORD thifkl , JUSTlCE—Brother Wilde, be cor rect in your statement. You have already said several times that it was left as, fraudulent preferencerl have as often said that I,lelt it as a fiauthrierit man fur. Jr.N Sergeant WILDE—My Lord, I must m i x:it that it (0... s left as a fraudulent preference. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE-1 R..re already st, ted to you what my recurection is upon the tubje,t, an I as that recollection is confirmed by the mat •nrent r f th Gentlemen on the other side, I say plainly, u asrert that it was left as a fraudoter.t preference, that I don't believe it. Mr. Sergeant Wittig—That is, undoubtedly a Erring expreisi •ri, my Lord; and as your Lordship has been r!eased to state your recollectiol of what occurred so l'etiveily, I, of course, am bound to yield to it; but I elan, nge any r•nerf heLearnedGentlemen to state,either fionr riots or their own ntemoty, that the case was left as a fraudulent t ansfer. Let diem say th it it was so if they date, and take the disgrace that would fall upon them for the as•e-tion. the other Judges here interfered to conciliate, and exyressed an opinion that the Learned Sergeant was acting and speaking with greater 'warmth than be came him. A. Sergeant WILDE—My Lords, I should be my *oily to conduct myself with such warmth as to be ()Missive to the Cons t; but when I am told by my Lord Wet Justice that he d ie. not believe me, I corfess it is an expression abich I cannot submit to, And which I , must repel. /be Costa main interposed, wlfia the Learned Set. pant said, lie thought he had said nothing which could be interpreted into diarespect to the Bench. Their Lordships, however, were (fa contrary opinion, and said that they certainly thought he made use of expressions which were exceedingly r ffensive to the Bench, and which they did not doubt the Learned Ser geant would have abstained from uttering in a cooler moment. The Lono CHIEF Antics said, that he seria:nly thought the Learned Sergeart had behaved very dis respectfully to him, for he 11.4 that lie (the Chiel Justice) in his chrge had supPrillllllll facts which were favourable to his client, and that - he had made strong comments ia favour of the defendant. This, he re peated, he felt personally offensive to elmselt, as it con veyed an imprtation of a most serious native against a Judge. He wished that the Learned Sergeant would , address the sane language to him siring on that bench that would be used between Gentleman and Gentleman in a private room. On the contiaryi he had this day addressed language to him which might, [camps he used in the company whichratte Learned Sergeant fre quented, but which he beggeNo add was unknown in the society in which he (lire itieri Chief Justice) moved. Mr. Sergeant WILDE denied I . at he had made use of the word "suppress," and 'repeated his conviction that he had said nothing disrespectlpl to the Bench, or that might not have been uttered in any society whatever. Mt. Justice GASELEE said he was awry to say that he really did t' ink the conduct of the Learned Sergeant had been disrespectful. lit had challenged the Learned Gentlemen on the other side to conirad.ct what he ha. said, and threatened them wiih disgrace if they dared to do so. The LORD CHIEF JUiTICE Said, ahat if the Learned Sers. geant had nut made use of the precise word "suppress," I e had at least micie use of others, by which the same it fetence would he drawn. Has Lordship then requested the Counsel tot Alm defendant to say whether the case had not been left as a fraudulent tramfer. Mr. Serge,nt Caoss said that it certainly apreareJ w by the note of the Learned Gentleman who was with him in the cause. Mr. Sergeant %Vaunt insisted, that although the woe d "transfer' (night liave been useJ, that it was followed by others by which the question of preference was fulls put to the Jury. The LORD CHIEF Jusrica again asserted that he had not left that question to the Jury ; and aft. .r vane fur ther observations horn the other Judges, who once snort interfered t.i conciliate, the mater was dry pped, and the Learned Sergeant proceeded in his argument. Nll. Serratit ANDREWS followed on the same side. Mr. Sergeant CROSi was about to reply, but was pre vented by Mr. Justice PARK, who said that the Ciurt thought it onnecessat y t') hear him, as it had already determined that the rule should be made aboo!ute upon payment of casts. Mr. Sergeant CROSS .begged, with great deference, that the Court would hear him before it determined to make the defendants pay the costs. Mr. Justice l'isarc said, twat where the question was one of fact, and where the Jury had given a verdict upon very full evidence, although that verdict might not be satitlictory to the Court, yet if it was not actually a perverse verdict, the rule was that the party applying for a new trial sh ,, uld pay the costs. It was in the creiion of the Court to alter this rule It they thought fight, and they would probably do so in the ease or a perverse verdict, where the Jury bad run riot and given a verdist in despite of the facts. But in such a case as the present, in which there was a doubt as to the pro priety or impropriety cf the •erdict, the rule was as he had stated. Mr. Sergeant CROSS, however, repeated his entreaty to be allowed to address the Court, and after some fur. ther contentt4,4 he was allowed tr proceed. The Learned Sergieini then went into a long speech, in which he complained that Mr. Sergeant Wilde, at the tii had made use of expressions for the purpose of with dr swing the confidence of the Jury from the opinion of the Lord Chief Justice. lie then went on to describe the manner in which the verdict had been returned, assenting that the majority of the Jurors would have given a different verdict, had they not been gained over by one or two uho were determined to give for plaintiff. Mr. Sergeant WILDE objected to such observations as the Learned Sergeant was then making. He might say what he pleased about him (Mr. Sergeant Wilde), but he submitted that such statements ought not to be made with respect to the Jury without an Affidavit. The COURT, however, were of opinion that the Learned Sergeai t was not compelled to be furnished with an affidavit in an argument to show cause why the de Pendant should not pay costs. _ _ The Learned Sergeant then proceeded in his argu ment, and was followed by Mr. Sergeant JONI& The COURT, after a shun consult-4ton, said it would take time to consider on the question of costs. Mr. Sergeant WILDE—Then 1 trust your Lordship will inform your brethren whether 1 w.is guilty of mak ing any disrespectful obsefeations towards your Lord ship at the trial. The LORD CHIRP JUSTICR—Oh, certainly. I have no hesitation in saying at once that there was nothing at the trial that 1 thou A lit at all disrespectful. Mr. Sergeant Wit.ux expressed his thanks to his Lordship for the ready acquittal he had given him of the imputation which had been cast upon him. He never had any intention of sty, any thing disrespect. tul.—H re the case-ended. During the last fortnight three persons have been in tei red in H4sldington church-yard, whote united ages amount to '272 years—viz. 1 7 ..iz ibeth Bald, aged 86; James Hamilton, 90; and Walker, 96.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. •• • 'VOW-STREET. FIRADADDIART AND DARING RuseLeay.-sA burglary was TM mined on the morning of Thursday, in the house of Thomas War. norm). Esq. Grove 4,:ottage, West Moehey, Surrey, under veal ate aordlottry circumstances. A gang of burglars got over a wall into the garden of %Ir. Js ffs who resides in a house adjoining Grove Cottage, and there took a ladder and a quantity of cord, lift in an outhouse by the g.trilener, and then scaled the wall of Mr. Warrington's garden, ralard ghe ladder to a window on the first floor, opening to a passage leati.ng to the chamber of Mr. and Mrs. Warrington. Mr. Watrinoon was asleep in bed—but his lady was sitting up writing. It was them about two o'clock in the morning. Mrs. Warrington heard the noise, and awoke her husband, who jumped out of bed and sclacd a pistol, and clicked it, and at the same moment the door of their b.d.raom was burst open, and four men entered. Mr. Wars ritigton instantly fired, but washout effect. One of ate robbeis Presented a pistol at Mr. Warrington, and pulled, bet it nsi•sed fire. Be re cocked, and again pulled the triage,. het the pistol merely flishesi in the pan, or murder might have ensued. The tobbers then seized Mr. IraTrington, and with part of the cord tied his bands behind hint and lashed his legs together at the mule, They served Mrs. Warrington in the sante manner. and also two female serviette, *hum they also bound hand and We, and each thief took out of the prisoners in care', and carried them down to a vault uedeitseath the house, in which wine and coals are kept. 'linty deposited them titer., and fastened the dour of the vault at st another door at the top of the step leading to it, with some e of the curd before mentioned. The unfortunate persons remained In that dreadful situation,half expiring with cold and terror (they were all in their night dresses) fur more than two hours, when one of the maid servants, by great exertion, and at the expose of much suffering, contrived to extri cate her hands from the cord fastening, and very soon liberated her comp-niuns- Ey their joint teatime they succeeded in forcing the two doors, and they found the house bad been completely ran sacked, and every thing of value that could he removed was taken away. An alarm was given to the neighbour., and Cooke, the active constable of Kingston, was snit for, and it was disco vered that the thieves had also broken open the coach house and stables, and taken out Mr. Warrington. phaeton, to which they had harnessed the only horse then in the stable, and drove off in the direction of Walton. Cooke traced them to Walton-bridge, where he learned that they had branched off ha another direction, and he fullosved them, in a circuitous route, as far as between Kensington and Knightsbridge, where he found the horse and phaeton on the road, the horse grazing, and several persons standing by, wondering where it could have come from. The thieves took away about zol. in motley, and a quantity of plate and jewellery. Four men, strangers in the village, were in oar or two of the public houses over night, making Inquiries about the neighbouring gentlemen's houses and their inmates. There is one very singular circumstance connected with the transaction, namely, that two halls of the size used by Mr.Warrington in loading his pistol were found sin the S.or of his chamber ; but they were nut at all !learned, not were any perforations or marks visible on the wall of the room. Air. Warrington bad only a day or two before received a considers.' able suns of money for rents and dividends. Information was given at this of f ice of the burglary, and Ellis, a principal officer, was iointediateiy sent down to West Moulsey, while bishop commenced a vigilant inquiry in town. lIARLBOROUGUI-STUItla.

A vast number of pawnbrokers attended, and produced sheets, table cloths, towels, dm together with wearing apparel, of dif ferent kinds, belonging both to Mr. Verrey himself and to his de ceased daughter, which the prisoner had pkdgell with theta; and all these articles Air. Verrey, who gave his evidence by means of an interpreter, identified as having been stolen front his house. Valentine, the officer, said that be had, on searching the prisoner's boxes, discovered a great variety of other property, which the prisoner hod stolen from other families in which she had also been employed. The prisoner said, that she had nothing to urge in hsr defence ; but that, if allowed to du so ' she would make up the value of the things to Alf. Verrey, which she admitted she had stolen. Mr. Commit said, that the prisoner was a person of all others, of whom an example should be made: While Mr. Verrey was suffering under the severest domestic slEiction, the loss of his daughter, and even while he was confined to his bed by abuts, in consequence of that loss, the prisoner was plundering him of every thing within her reach.—The prisoner was committed fur trial. TII A M ES—POLICE. Yesterday the landlord of the King's Arms Tavern. Blackwell, appeared before Captain. lircisaam, to answer the charge of a young man, named John Murray, who described himself to be a' pawnbroker, who alleged that Mr. Allen had detained 4s. 611. bis property. John Murray stated, that on the 49th of October he went to Mr. Alien's house. and bad not been long there before be was accused of stealing 4s. ed and that sum of money, which he had in his band, the bar maid took from him. Ile at the time said the money was his own, and denied having taken it from-the tifl, and solemnly declared that the money was his own, which he had only a few minutes before taken from his pocket. The landlord detained him a short time, and then turned hint out, when be was dreadfully ill.treated by a crowd of coachmen and cads. Mr. Allen declared, that the complainant was detected by the bar maid in the very set of stealing the 4s. ed. from the till. She saw him open the till, take out the money, and seised his hand, with the money ht it. Miss Mary Allen, the niece rf Mr. Allen, proved that Murray stood outside the bar, a few yards from her ; she turned her back just at the time he was raising a telescope with bis right hand to his eye; she had only a few minutes before put four shillings in the till, which contained at the time only sixpences. While her back was turned she heard the till opened, and saw the prisoner move his left arm act o•ii the counter; she immediately opened the till and missed the foist skilings; she instantly accused the prisoner of the rubbery, and (petit% his hand found the four shillings and a sixpence, which the took front him. Another person also proved that he had stolen the four sin:longs from the till. Captain llicseant., immediately after hearing this testimony, directed Murray to step into the bar, and the depositions against him bring regularly taken, he was fully committed to Newgate fur trial.

The prisoners, when Oared at the bar, seemed much depressed, particularly the females, and they were drosined in tears. The depodtions were long and minute, but us it would occupy too numb of our spate, we can only give an abstract. The most material witnesses were, Drew, the conductor, and Keys and Van, of the Bow-street patrol, who stated in substance, that on the lath of tbliniurith, in consequence .of information hey had received, they went to the house of the prisoner, James Coleman, In Jubilee Place, and found hem and the other prisoners sitting at dinner.-- Van asked Coleman what he bad got there, and be replying no thing, be handcuffed him ; and leaving a brother olker to watch them, he proceeded to search the house. On going into a small shed, to which there was a communication from the room in white the prisoners were sitting, he found a small tub, in which, covered with some straw, be discovered the moulds ' which he then produced. and, inn going to an upper room, be and his brother °Meer found there, .and elsewhere, a number of implements for coining. Arum' them were a small crucible, a furnace tongs, some charcoal, several Britannia metal spoons, plaster of Paris, brushes for cleansing monies, glass paper, and 'eventl base half-tr.mns and shillings.— Drew examined the person of Mrs. Hanson, on which was tumid a sirtiling, which, by the peculiar mark of a T it bore on the head, apps ed to have been the one from which the•moules were taken, tpressiou appeared to have been made by sonic Licensed Vic. cr , io order to verify the purity of the coin, and the coiner overt ing this circumstance, with a fatuity that generally accum p ese illegal practices, made it the principal to his incuipstion. daughter and mother-in-law were discharged ; the latter, bow. ever, being admitted as a King's evidence, and her testimony taken of having received the fatal shilling, found upon her, from her daughter, in payment for the making of a shirt, she was conirt itted to Clerketawell fur detention until the next Ses•lons and Coletnan and his wife were transmitted to NeWgpate, to table theif trial for high treason.

AVARICE PUNlSHED—Thursday sennight, a High. Iland girl, who had little, or rather no English, engaged a porter, who had no Gaelic, to carry her truck to New. haven. Being afraid that the steam beat would be sailed for Stirling ere she reached the Chain Pier, she gave the porter to understand, that if he mended his pace she would increase bis hire from one shilling to eighteen pence. On trudged the bearer of burdens, cheerily, merrily, and threw down his load on the deck just as the vessel was about to start. True to her pro. mise, the woman promptly paid the stipulated turn; but, instead of departing humbly grateful, as he one t to have done, the porter with intolerable noise and ribaldry, demanded two shillings for his trouble. The Captain insisted that he should go ashore; but persua. sion and threats sere equally unavailing—no time could be lost—the engine was set on—and away went the vessel. On observing that he was rapidly leaving the shore he fell into an indescribable paroxysm cf rage, wh . ch continued for nearly a quarter of an hour. to the great amusement of the passengers. It was to no pur- pose that he raved, stamped, and foamed— the revel was kept on her way, and the porter was put ashore at N rth Queensfetry. He was charge) sixpence for being landed on the south ride, sixpence for being fe vied across, and he expended tlle other sixpence dining his journey home. Me arrived in the evening quite tired and grievously mortified having last his time, and travelled upwards of twelve miles—a deserved punish ment for his intended extortion.—Edin.Conrant. BIRTH.
