LAW LVTELLIGENCEi COLIIT OF KING'S BENCH, OCTOBER 21. vOLLAND AND OTHIRS V. BYGROM r;e plaintiffs are the assignees of Marsh, Stracey, d Co. and this action was brought against the de. o mi t as the acceptor of a bill of exchange for : t ; ;; Davernier kept a banking account Mesqs. Nlarsh and Co. who had accommodated os with a loan of 4,000/. as a security for which he 'red severl bills of exchange. Mr. De jean, er ge nt of Mr. a Davernier, deliveted the b ill on which Was founded, into the hands of Mr. Faunt . no the day previous to his apprehension, and he entered the bill regularly as a discounted bill. 4r. De Jean, however, said that no cash had actually , paid on this bill, but that it was to be paid on 60 su b,equent days; and the question was, whether was sufficient to rebut the a priori claim of the intlfs as the holders of the bill? Tile Loan CHIEF JUSTICE was of opinion, that the hallos made to Mr. Davernier, gave a lien on all ,tr which cams into their possession through his nis i sufficient to constitute a good consideration for hi, bill. This.. as his opinion as a Judge, sitting in a Dart of Law; what might be the decision in a Court iffeently constituted, he would not say. M 7. GURNEY then said there was another point to %loch he would call attention. This was, that both t he commission issued against Messrs. Marsh, Stracey, .nd Co. and that issued against Mr. Fau:itleroy, were conceited commissions between the parties and the ri.ioning creditors; and if he established this, it would .Asny with the present action. He then offered to t!,ew that the denial of Marsh and Co. which consti. ttas the act ef banktuptcy, and the execution by Mr. Litintleloy of a deed, a day or two previous to the IT al, were altogether planned for the purpose of found a commission. Mr. GeRNZY then called several witnesses to prove his statement, L.: he (ittircly failed, and the Jury immediately found a vtortlict kr, the plaintiff—Damages being the amount of the bill and ir:treb. e n it. CIIENINIINANT V. TIIORNTON. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, who is the owner of a float;ng dock and other premises in the Deptleid Creek, to recover from the defendant, who is a shipownei, a sum of money fur the use of the deck and premises, fr m October, 1824., to August, 1825. ihe delend.int pleaded a tender, and paid 101. into Court.—From the evidence for the plaintiff, it appeared flat on the 18th of October, 1824, Messrs. Nicholson Alki Rushton hired the dock and premises from the plaintiff, for the purpose of repairing the ship Marga leva, alleged (but not proved) to be the property of t o defendant. On the 29th of November, the repairs Irving been completed, the ship was taken off the remises; but there was some timber left there, and the keys were not given up to the plaintiff until Aug. 1825. !kir. MARRYATT, for the defendant, submitted that •'.'ere was no case made out against the defendant; it sas not proved that the ship was h:s property, nor that !-e had given directions to Messrs. Nicholson and Ill:hton to take the premises. :lir. CAMPBELL-11y your own plea, you admit our having a ribt to £lO. 31r. MlnavAT•r—Then I shall prove a tender of that sum. A witness was then called, and he swore that Mr. Nicholson trndered that sum ; but in his cross-examination he admitted that words used by Mr. Nicholson were, " I wiU give you those !Li} sestreigns in full liquidation of your demand."—The plaintiff's ilmital was considerably more than £lO. Mr. l'.Hrs►mt.t. submitted, that as the tender was made upon condition that the plaintiff should accept it in full satisfaction of a larger sum, it was not a tender to constitute a sufficient defence so this avian. Mr. AAAAA Ir having been beard in reply, His immune was of opinion, that it was nut a kgal tender. The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, £lO is. BOYCE v. STOCKDA LE. It Mg sought to recover Al 10s. being the balance of a bill due to the plaintiff, a livery-stable-keeper, for the use of a horse to cc: r, y 3lr. Stockdale from his country house at Kensington, to hi♦ no* n rniticiice in the Royal Arcade. Pall•mall. There was no !arm, and the Jury of course returned a verdict for the plaiuiff. Accounts from New Orleans state, that the small pox makes frightful ravages there. Letters have been received at E4rl Bathnrst's Office, from Captain FRANKLIN, stating the arrival of the ex pedition under his orders at Lake Winnipeg, early in June, from whence they intended to proceed to... Bear Lake. The persons composing the expedition were in perfect health, and the season had been extremely mild. The HECLA is arrived at the Note. A Court-Martial is to be held directly at Sheerness, on Capt. HOPPNER, fcr ihe loss of the FORT. Admiral Sir ROBERT MooR• M to be President. During the Quarter ending on the 30th of June last, nearly 25 millions of pounds of raw cotton were ex ported from New York. The total amount of exports, during the same Quarter, from that port, amounted to nearly eight millions of dollars. A number of Spanish Refugees have lately applied to the LORD MAYOR for relief, from the fund raised in their behalf in this country ; but his Lordship inti mated that applications must be confined to the cases already before the Committee, as he feared many Spa niards were coming to this country as a sort of specu. lators in English bounty. Yesterday afterncon, between two and three o'clock, 2 S Mr , CHARLES BATH, superintendent of the Sluice Casters of Lambeth parish, was proceeding along the New Cut, towards his residence, in Lambeth Walk, suddenly dropt d. s w n and expi re d. At the Derby Sessions, three lads, named Whittaker, Glovers and grail, were indicted under the new Act, for robbing an orchard. The prosecutor, Mr. H. Coll thaw, requested the Court to shew all the lenity to them in its power. The boys (who were very decent children, and who wept bitterly) pleaded guilty. They had been in prison two months. The Chairman gave the poor boys a most paternal admonition, and ordered them to be discharged after three days' further. imprisonment. An unmanly !tam secreted himself in Miss Foores bed-chamber the other evening, at her hotel, in Edin burgh, most undoubtedly for an unworthy purpose. Miss FOOTE had retired to rest, when this person was discovered by the noise and confusion be made in re moving from his hiding place. The Lady immediately called out , and alarmed the house, but the warn escaped before anybody arrived ; there is, however, some clue by which it is thought he will be discoevred. There was a General Meeting of the Shareholders of the British and Patent Rock Salt Company, on Thurs day, to take into consideration the necessity of reducing the nominal capital from 2.500,0001. to 500,0004 a resolution to which effect was proposed, and unani mously agreed to. The report of the Directors was read to the Meeting, arid was considered to be of the most gratifying description, as to the present and pro bable future profits of this national undertaking. TI•lE ARMY. The 22d Ujzlment wRI re)slace the detachments of the 61st at Rathkeale, ewcastle, Abbeyfessie, Glaaduff, Ballingarry, Shans golden, Glin, Athea, Adam Patrick's We, Askeston, Stoneball.

The second division of the 24th (Warwickshire) Regiment of Infantry, which embarked on beard the Princess Royal transport, and sailed from Devoaport on the 11th blatant, bas arrived at Cork. Detachments belonging to several Regiments of Infantry have embarked on board the Vittoria transport, at Plymouth, for Gi braltar and the Mediterranean. CORONER'S INQUk.ST. The Inquisition which it was thought would: have taken place on Thursday evening, on the body of the young man named Barton, whom we mentioned in our yesterday's publication, as having been killed by his grandfather, did not sit until one o'clock yesterday, when the Coroner, J. W. Unwin, Esq. accompanied by the Churchwardens and Parish Overseers, and a highly respectable Jury, assembled at the Crooked Billet, public-house, to make the necessary enquiries touching the fatal event. After being empannelled, the Jury proceeded to •iew the body, which lay in the house where the deed was perpetrated ; and on their return from ibis melancholy part of their duty, the following was the eviden:e submitted for their cons . deration : Ann Hill, the housekeeper of the accused, was the first witness examined.—Her direct testimony corre sponded with that given at the Thames Police Office, with the exception of her adding to it, that the prisoner, after receiving a blow from the deceased, went up stairs and brought down the dagger, and, on the de ceased's raising his band, gave him the stab which caused his death. Juror.—Was the first blow given by the deceased to the prisoner a violent one ? Witness.—No. it was not. Juror.—Why did :he deceased keep the dagger? Witness.—He kept it to protect himself against the deceas►d ? who frequently threatened that be would either himself deprive him of life, or that he would get some of his companions to do it for him. Juror.— Do you, from your own knowledge, think that the prisoner's life was in danger from the deceased? Witness.—l do; and, under that impression, I frequently re quested of him to get the deceased bound over to keep the peace tow..rds him. The next witnesses, Daniel Kinsman, George Uri:, William Murray, and Joseph Charles Miller, Surgeon, varied in, or added nothing their depositions taken at the Thames Office, and given in our last number. At the close of the last witness's testimony, the Beadle entered the room, and said there was a person in the house who was anxious to give his testimony. The Commas thought that there was enough, indeed too much testimony, to support the charge against the prisoner. The Foreman of the Jury wished to know whether they were not in a similar situation as a Jury at the Old Bailey? CosoNsa.—Yes, to a Grand Jury with open doors, appointed to inquire into certain things, under the presidency of a Coroner, elected by the public, and approved of by the Crown. Mr. Isaacs, the solicitor, who attended on behalf of the prisoner, requested the Coroner that he would examine the witness. This appearing to be the wish of some of the Jury, the Conner consented to their request, and the witness was called in and examined. John Jelinir,gs sworn.—l am a day labourer, and worked for the prisoner; the deceased and I were in company at the Trinity Arms, Ratcliff-cross, on Wed nesday last, from thence we went to the Phoenix at half past five, whet e we remained until about half-past seven; while there he said he had but half-a-crown, and that he wanted more money. I told him that half-a-urown was enough for any man to spend of an evening, he re plied that he would have more money. I told him that his grandfather would give him more, and he said, if he does not give me as much money as I want, " I will have his b—y old life, or lose my own." On this I observed to him, that he ought not to talk about taking life away, as it was a thing he could not restore. Witness added, that the deceased said, that the money he had (meaning the h.411-crown) was not 1-Bth enough for the evening's expenditure, and that he should have more. Ann Hill, the past whams, was recalled, at the request of a Juror. Juror—Did the prisoner, at any time previous to this, carry the donee about him for protection ? Witness—Several times. Juror—When was it be went for the dagger? Witness—After the deceased struck the blow. Juror—Did the deceased strike the prisoner, after he (the pri soner) came down stairs? Witness—No; but he attempted to do so when he received the fatal wound. William Wilson examined—l am a Thames Police Officer ; on Wednesday night I was at the Shadwell watch-house, from twelve to one o'clock ; the headbo rough in attendance desired me to take charge of the prisoner. I took him to the office in company with the headborough and street-keeper. On going down Shakspeare s-walk, I desired him to say nothing in my presence which might tend to criminate him in the bu siness which had occurred, for that if he did so I would be obliged to gi►e it in evidence against him ; he then turned round is me in a wild manner, and exclaimed, if I have done the job for him, I don't care who knows it, you will never take him again: He used the same expressions four or five times on our way to the Office. The evidence closed here, and the Coroner summed up, in the course of doing which he said, that in this melancholy occurrence there might be a heat of blood, but it was in evidence, that after the deceased had struck the blow, the prisoner went up stairs and removed the fatal weapon, and on his return inflicted the deadly wound ; the interval of time which had elapsed from his going up to the bed-chamber to his return down stairs, was, he thought, sufficient to remove that irrita tion which might otherwise authorise them to bring in a verdict of 14 Manslaughter." It had been ruled, and there were many instances on the books, that an inter val of time, shorter than the present, was denotative of a malicious intention on the part of the accused, and as such, subjected him to the charge of 41 Murder." On the present Inquest, he thought that evidence sufficient had been supplied, and all the necessary ingredients were present to warrant them in recording a verdict of " Wilful Murder" against the prisoner, William Har wood. This was his opinion, and in discharge of his duty he was bound to state it; but it was for their (the Gentlemen of the Jury) consideration to declare, by their vet dict,how far his criminality extended. A con siderable difference of opinion prevailing among the Gentlemen of the Jury, the room was cleared, and they remained in deliberation, with closed doors, for nearly two hours, when they returned a verdict of is Man slaughter." In the evening the pi isoner was brought up for final examination to the Thames Office, when he was fully committed on the capital charge.—Daring the proceedings on the Inquisition, the Court was ex tremely crowded, the Coroner having afforded every facility fur the publicity of the investigatitA. The price of a piece of wine (63 gallons) at Orleans • 45 francs (11. 165.) including the gala: THE BARON OF RENFREW ABANDONED OFF THE DUTCH COAST. Natraet of a letter from the Agent to Lloyd's at Dover, dated the 21st of October : " The cutter JEra, THOMAS Ora; Master, arrived here this morning with the Second Mate and sixty of the crew of the B,ron of Renfrew. CLARK reports that yesterday morning, at seven o'clock, the wind blowing very bard at N.B. the ship parted from her chain, and her bead cast to o the Eastward ; there being a great deal of sea, and the after-part of her rudder loose, the ship would not veer. At live rat. the ship being S.E. of the North Foreland, about fifteen miles, driving under bare poles to the Southward, the wind N. by W. the cutter Friends' Endeavour in company, the Ara took out Mr. Haul , Second Palate, and sixty of the crew, and in effecting this the /Era's and the ship's boat were loot. The Ara staid by the ship until half-past eight, r.o. when she appeared to be driving towards Graveines, and their having nearly seventy people on board, and no boat, CLARK considered it expedient to leave the ship, and steer for the English coast. We hope and trust the Friends' Endeavour will arrive with the remainder of the crew. The Ara has returned in the direct km of the ship, with two other *utters, to render every assistance. Great praise appears to be due to the Master of the Xra for his exertions." NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

WESTMINSTER COURT OF REQUESTS. RATCATCHER TO THE ROYAL. FAMILY. Busse tr. Isaacs.—ln this case Mr. Busse sought to recover of Mr. Isaacs 16s. for work done, and agree able to bargain. Mr. Isaacs denied this, saying, that he had paid ss. already, which he thought more than enough. Mr. Busse being ordered to make out his claim, stated that he had the honour to be the Royal Ratcatcher ; to prove which he handed in his card, a really royal looking thing, greatly emblazoned, with the King's Arms at top and G. R. in the corners ; by his card, moreover, it appeared that he was rat de stroyer not only to his Majesty, but to all the Royal Family ; and he begged to assure the Court, that he had this, summer cleared out all the Royal Palaces, in none of which did a rat dare to shew his nose, or ven ture to look for a candle end, or a cheese paring. At this stage of the case, one of the Commissioners en quired if he looked after the rats in the Parliament Houses? to which he answered, with much naivete, that he was not yet appointed, but hoped to be so shortly. He then went into a full, true, and particular account of his engagement with Mr. Isaac!, who is a fruiterer, in Bridge•street, Westminster; he said that he was called in, a short time back, when Mr. Isaacs complained to him that the rats were playing the very devil with his apples, pears, grapes, &c. and as to his nuts, they cracked and ate them like squirrels ; in short, he told Mr. Busse, that if he did not give the rats a quietus, he should be ruined, and must retire from business. Mr. Besse kindly assured him upon the ho nour of a royal rat-destroyer, that the thing should be done ; id est, if he agreed to pay him one guinea, which must be paid in advance, and for which he should take care that not a nut should be cracked in his shop, by a rat at least, for one year to come: meaning that he would, like Paul Pry, drop in upon the rats, from time to time, with his " kindest inquiries." Mr. Isaacs agreed to these terms; Mr. Busse set to work, and for a fort night fed the rats upon something so inviting, that every peach was preserved, and not a medlar was missing from the well-stored fruit baskets. At the end of this time he set his live traps, and 48 fine rats trotted into them; very much to his disappointment, as it seemed, for he protested to the Court he would rather any day or night catch 500 for half-a-guinea, than 50 for a whole one. This may puzzle the uninitiated, but it was soon un derstood when he said he could have 6d. a-piece for them, for the dog Billy and others to break their necks at so many per militate, for the amusement of the gemmen of Tuthill-fields, and its genteel neighbourhood. In windiqg up his case, he said that a if so be any of their Worships on the Bench wanted a dog trained to tke ferret, or a few dozen rats for a day's sport, he could supply them with some right good ones any time."— Their Worships not replying to this very handsome offer, Mr. Isaacs proceeded to I,is defence; but in this he could not deny the rat-catcher's main facts; only he seemed to think ss. was enough for what had been done ; but upon being assured that all his rats should be caught gratis fur the remainder of the twelvemonth, he good-naturedly agreed to pay the 16s. with the, Royal Ratcatcher s costs. There is to be found in Mr: Pepys' Diary, anion other curious traits of the times in which he lived, an anecdote on the subject of Inquests on cases of suicide, which presents a remarkable contrast to the practice of the present day. A respectable and wealthy tradesman, related to Mr. Pepys, had the mi•fnttune, in the great knaof L .ndon, to lose a considerable amount of pro perty, which threw him into a. st ice of despondency, and under the influence of this disetse of •he Mind, he attempted to drown himself, but was preserve 4 by the bystanders, and brought home. He caught, however, in consequence of the drenching, such a cold as brought on a fever, that terminated sortie weeks afterwards in hisclesth. A Coroner's Inquest was to be held notwithstanding, and so great was'the appre hension of the widow and his other relatives, that their verdict would be feto•de•se, in which case all his re maining property would fall to the Crown, that Mr. Pepys was obliged to exert his personal influence be forehand with the Duke of York and the King, to ob tain a promise of a grant of the estate to the iiiviving family, in case such a verdict ensued: and this was the more necessary in those days, as the courtiers very often, on gaining scent of a case of suicide, applied in like manner to the King for a grant of the estate As) themselves, and frequently had it promised befoAthe verdict was known.

The American squadron has been entertained by the Greeks; it has departed, leaving a corvette to protect its commerce against pira:y IR the M.tclit4ranean. Accounts from New York state, that in the late fires in the woods, several farms, and a great many cattle have also been burnt, and the heat.of the fire ways() excessive, that a large number of fish were found dead on the shore, and birds, which were flying in the air, were seen to fall to the ground. No estimation has been made of the loss occasioned by these fires.

The General Steam Navigation Company's vessel, the Hylton Joliffe, arrived last night from Hamburgh, after a passage of five days and six nights, during a continued gale, or rather hurricane from the N.N.W. and N.W. points.—The force of her engines fortunately enabled her to keep on her course.—She observed several brigs about mid channel, under close-reefed main•topsails, and last night, a ship and a brig were riding in the Lower Swin, with signals of distress flying.—The Hylton Jolliffe encountered violent hail storms of several hours duration on Tuesday and Wed nesday nights, and on the latter especially, when the hailstones were of the.size of common marbles. OLD the Pamphleteer just published, in a second edition of the life of John Elwell, the miser, it is stated that he always considered it to be an impro priety to ask a Gentleman for money due to him. At his death it was ascertained by his executors, that va rious Members of Parliament were indebted to him to the amount of 120,0001. for which be had their bonds and promissory-notes ; but his executors were never able to recover one farthing of the said loans.
