LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Jura 18. EDWARDS W. LOW. This was an action brought to recover the sum 01 1981. 1 Is. being the amount of a bill of exchange driven by the defendant, and discounted by the plain tiff. The case was tried at Guildhall, and a verdict re turned for the plaintiff—subsequently the defendant applied for a rule to show cause why that verdict should not be set aside,.and a new trial granted, on the ground of the inadmissibility of the plaintiff's principal witness. Mr. Campeau. this day appeared to show cause against the rule. The Coe av, however, made the rule absolute on payment of care.' POWEL V. SCOTT. This was a rule obtained by Mr. BROUGHAM against Mr. Scott, a physician, residing at Winchelsea, to show cause why a criminal information should not be granted against him, for assaulting Mr. Powel, an Alderman of Winchelsea, at a vestry meeting. It was alleged, that Mr. Scott called Mr. Powel a liar, a scandaler, and a scoundrel," and held up his hand to him with an in tention of pulling his nose. Sir JAMES SCARLETT DOW appeared to show cause against the rule. He said the facts of the case were really trifling. Mr. Powel, upon being asked for some money; excused himself by saying. that he would pay it when Mr. Scott paid him 1001. which he owed him. The . fact was, that Mr. Scott did in t at this time owe Mr. Powel a farthing ; but the report coming to some Ladies ears, it did not rest there, but it reached Mr. Scott, who wrote to Mr. Powel to ask him to etplain what induced him to circulate the report that he (Mr. Scott) was his debtor. Mr. Powel never answered this letter, and Mr. Scott told him that the next time they met in company he would state his opinion of Mr. Powel. They met at a parish vestry, and Mr. Scott applied the words "liar and scoundrel" to Mr. Powel ; but as to the as sault that was impossible, as there was a cable between them, The Coney ordered the rule to be discharged on payment of costs. BRIGS, ASSIGNEE OF COLLIER, V. FELLO*ES. This was an action tried at the Sittings at Guildhall, by the assignee ot Collier, a bankrupt. for money ad vanced by him on a bill of exchange to Feliowes and Tatock, who carried on business as co-partners, under circumstances whicb, under the Bankrupt Laws, made the money advanced to these partners the money of the assignees. The bill was for 5501. of which Collier had paid 1511. and deposited goods as a security for the payment of the rest. The defence was, that the money and the goods had been advanced to Tatlock alone, and that in the course of the payments, which were by it stalments, the partnership between Tatlock and the de fendant had been dissolved. A verdict was found for the plaintiff for 1541. Mr. DENMAN moved for, and obtained a rule to show cause why there should not be a new trial; and Sir J. SCARLETT showed cause against it. The COURT was of opinion that the defendant was liable, as the surviving partner, tor the money paid by Collier on the bill ; and also liable in an action ot tro ver for the value of the goods which the bankrupt had deposited with Tatlock.—Rule discharged. Lord TIINTISDIM rose at Twelve o'Clock, to try causes at Ni.: Prigs in Loudon. COURT OF ARCHES, Jim is. HAWKE V. HAWKE. This was a suit brought by the husband, Major Hawke, far a separation from his wife on the ground of adultery. While the husband was in India on duty. Mrs. Hawke was delivered of two children in Bristol • and as the evidence of her identity and of the birth o f the children was fully made out, and the wife made no opposition to the suit, Sir lam Marina. pronounced for the divorce. KEMP V. Kil4P. This was a similar suit instituted by Mrs. Kemp againa her husband, Lieutenant-Colonel Kemp, of the East India Company's service, for a separation " a men sa et thoro," on the ground of his adultery with a tt male, who, previous to their marriage, had been his wife's servant. The parties were married in October, 1826, and in six months after he left his wife, and went to cohabit with this female at Plymouth, where she passed for his wife. There was no opposition to the divorce on the husband's part, arid the adulterous inter course being fully proved, the Court pronounced for the divorce. On the question of permanent alimony to the wife, the husband's income was admitted to be 7301. and the Court allotted her 2501. with the understanding that it she refused to have her child to herself, it should be only 2001. a-year. Sunday a Lady, in leaving Percy Chapel, was hus tled by some females, who eased her of a purse con taining five sovereigns. 1 STANZAS.

There *ere upwards ot four hundred individuals present from all parts of the country. His Royal Highness (he Duke of Sussex was in the Chair, supported on the tight by Lord JOHN RUSSELL ; and on the left by Lord Hot.. LAND. There were also present — Lord' Dacre, Althorp, Carnarvon, Ehrington, and Ring, Sir F. Burdett, Mr. Brougham, Mr. W. Smith, Mr. H. Grattan, Mr. Coke, Mr. ohouse, Mr. Jaes Grattan, l it Birch, Mr. Den- ham ; severa H b l Boman Catholic m s of distinctioa ;among ethers— Lord% Stourton, Stafford, and Clifford, Mr. Charles Butler, &c. Tile itoYAL CHAIRMAN, on the removal ot the cloth, gave " Tire King"—" 'Ube Duke of Clarence"—" The Event we are met to celebrate"—and "Liberty of Con- science." Mr. W. SMITH, after a warm eulogium on their I Royal Chairman's teal in the promotion of the event they were assembled to celebrate, proposed o the health of the Duke of Sussex." The Duke of Sussex at great length reviewed the progress of the question in both Houses, and adverted t t vle good results which must flow from the repeal of these Acts to another great portion of their oppressed countrymen—the Roman Catholics-•;-(Cheers). He im pressed on those who had received relief through the instrumentality partly of the Catholics, not now in their hour of triumph to forget their coadjutors in the mo ment of trial and doubt. His name had been coupled with the principles which bad placed his Family on the Throne of this Realm; it was because be knew he acted in accordance with those principles in favouring this measure that he had done so. The Royal Duke, after a speech of considerable length, in the course of which he was frequently cheered, concluded by proposing •• A speedy and effectual relief to all his Majesty's sub jects labouring under legal disabilities on account of religion." This toast was received with the most tremendous shouts of applause; as soon as they had subsided, Lord Srourrou briefly returned thanks on behalf of the Catholics. The ROYAL DUKE proposed, after a warm and glow ing eulogium, The health of Lord John Russell." Lord Joao Rosan a. said, it was not less absurd for a Bishop to question a candidate for orders on subjects of trade or politics, than t't require religious declarations from candidates for political offices—(Hear). Let the State take any securities it deemed fir, as to property or political feelings, but into the sacred sanctuary of con science no earthly power should be allowed to come— (Cheers). He felt it the greatest delight of his life that be had been instrumental in wiping one of the foulest blots from the Statute Book—but he should be grossly self complacent it be did not feel that that triumph was mainly attributable to the expressed feeling of the people of England, aye, and of the Roman Catholics of Ireland —(Reiterated Cheers). His Lordship then entered into a brief sketch of the progress of the repeal of these Acts. The Ministers had opposed them with all their strength, and called on their followers by the true faith of Mus sulmen-(Laughter)—to come and oppose tt,e measure. On the debate we (said his Lordship) had all the argu ment, and on the division the majority, and the conse quence was the Ministers changed their minds, and the repealbecarne the law of the land—(Cheers). The Noble Lord then passed a warm eulogium on the first mover of the repeal of those laws, Mr. Fox, whose illustrious relative had been his able coadjutor in the other House of Parliamevt, of which be was so distinguished an ora nament—(Loud cheers). He brought it forward in 1793, when meaner minds would haie shrunk from the diffi culties which surrounded the question, and it was the more due to that great man not to forget his exertions in this his day of triumpb—(Cheers)- His Lordship then described the progress of the Bill through the House of Lords. There it had been 'opposed by a Noble Lord of a very different stamp, indeed, from the great man who had introduced it—one who was remarkable for the superfluity of his cheers on a recent occasion— (Loud laughter)—who could hunt through fifty deeds and 500 affidavits for what would pozzle the ingenuity of all others to dream of—who was. only fit fur what was called picking holes—he was sure if those who had invented the system cf phrenology had. any bump called that r f picking-liole-ativeness, it would he found on his head—(Hear, and laughter) —To think of sup?' posing a mind so constructed capable of entertaining a great question of religious freedom, would be like looking at the Alps through a microscope, or attempt iog to cut down an oak with a penknife. It was due to the Noble Duke at the head of the Government and to Mr. Peel to stay, that from the time they deter mined to support the Bill they did so with zeal and ability—(Cheers).—His Lordship could not sit down without declaring, that be hoped to see a speedy re moval of all disabilities in all classes of his Majesty's subjects. It was due to policy .and justice, nay more, the only means of establishing that peace which the Duke of Wellington had %rely and conscientiously de clared he bad so mach at heart—(Hear, hear). The ROYAL CIMAIAMAN then proposed the health of Lord Hol land, which was drank with immense cheering. Lord HOLLAND said, his opinion as to the malignant nature of the laws which bad been repealed still re mained as strong as ever. He was convinced that that event was the commencement of that splendid edifice of religious liberty which it was the glory of those.now living to see so far advanced. Nay more, he would say the repeal of the Test and Corporation Acts was the restoration of the Constitution of the country— (Loud cheers). Yes, fot the Constitution, by the ancient law of the land, was the birthright of all his Majesty's subjects—(Cheers). That repeal had given the death blow to monopoly and intolerance. Monopoly, thank GOD, was gone !—(Loud cheers). It was said that no Monopoly had existed, because they did not exclude, but suffered others to enjoy the Constitution. What ! was he to be told that enjoying the Constitution by sufferance and by right were the same ? The man who thought so was undeserving of freedom—(Loud cheers). His Lordship expressed the satisfaction with which he had heard the universal principle of religious liberty echoed and re.echned through that mom. He rejoiced, but was not surprised at this—(Hear, hear). He had always considered it a calumny when it was said that the great body of Protestant Dissenters were opposed to Catholic Emancipation—(Cheers). He had always contended oat such an orroion was utterly impossible —tt was impassible that any Protestant Dissenter could to continue the civil di,abilities of one third of their fellow subjects; and he thanked GOD that his apieinn WitS that night most gloriously borne out — (Li u I cheers, at tie termination of which some Gentle men called out, . 4 Ohe cheer more," which was given aid) the most heal y enthu•iasm). His Lordship said, the anniv. tsarrsary si the battle of Waterloo was not the e,s fit f r t .e es ent they met to celebrate —when he r..membered t e great D..ke who had on this day led u am ies to victory, he would most certainly rejoice n Vie h pe that he would lend his aid tor procure corn olete religitu • liberty—(Cheers); but with him or with u• him, it would he finally triumphant. The ROYAL. CHAIRMAN then gave the health of J. Smith, nui." Mr. Alderman Sum' returned thanks in his father's name, for whoce absence he apnlogired. " 'fire Duke of Welkugton. and the brave men he had the honour mad glory of leadii,g at Waterloo," and several other toasts,' were then given and drunk with enthusiasm. The CHAIRMAN then gave the health of Mr. Brougham, and an. need to it, " Education without the necessity of subscribing to any test or qualification"—(Loud applause). Mr. BROUGHAM returned thanks. He congratulated the Dissenters on their success, which he attributed to their union, firmness, and moderation; and he hoped so n to be able to congratulate the country on the same successful termination of the applications of another and very numerous class—the allusion to which had been so rapturously hailed that evening. In the attain ment of that success he hoped they would have the co operation of Government; if not, they would do with. out that aid—and even in spite of it, they must succeed as t e Dissenters had done. The Learned Gentleman then defended the London University from the attacks made on it by its opponents. Let those who thought tests and subscriptions necessary for the education of their childten, send them to seminaries where they were demanded ; they only wanted one where they would not be required—(Cheers). The Company separated soon after twelve o'clock. , . , - 11 f 4 ' ' k 1 • I.J i i ‘ 1 , • 14 , ii 1 1 I 1 4 . , . ii t i i t 11 '' it 1 POLICE INTELLIGENCE GUILD II A LL.

While his head was turned from the part where the prisoner was standing, he noticed that lie snatched something out of a tray on the counter, and immediately left the place. Witness opened a window, and called out " Stop thief;" upon which some of bis servants pursued the prisoner, and overtook him in Addle-street, Wood-street, he having just before thrown away two pieces of ster ling silver, which were picked up. The pieces could nut be singly identified, hut they were silver, in the same state as the rest in the tray, and upon the contents of the tray being weighed, there was a deficiency of eighteen ounces, which was precisely the weight of the pieces in question. The value of them was above 90s.—The prisoner was committed fur trial. fil A la—LA-802<NR Louisa Armstrong. a girl of the town, was charged with stealing two 5/. Bank of England notes. Mr. John Smith, a respectable looking middle-aged man, stated that on Monday afternoon he met the prisoner by accident in the street. and being pleased with her per-on, and still more with a romantic story respecting her birth and family. and believing her to he the daughter of a Devonshire Magistrate. he took her to a public-house and treated ber with ale. They afterwards repaired to another public-house, and there the circumstance occurred which gave rise to this charge. The prose cutor, it appeared, accidently drew from his pocket a parcel, con taining two 5/. notes, and it fell at the feet of the defendant. who, picked it up, and after she had examin. d it, and declared the notes were not worth twopence. she returned a tat!ot's bill to the po o secutor, and said she would keep the money unlit she was !Nought , before her betters.

Fox, who was accompanied to the office by Lord Bingham. deposed, that on the preceding evening be returned home from Holland House about Owen o'clock, and rambled in the li brary until half.past one, when he retired to rest. He was awoke about six o'clock by one of the servants, who told him that the house had been broken into: and on proceeding down stairs he' found the panels of the outside door had been forced open with a centre-bit, and also the panels of an inner door, throu g h which the thieves had effected their entrance iutu the house. On going into the drawing-room he missed two French clocks, worth about eta and a portable silver inkstand ; and on entering the library he found that a pair of silver candlesticks, a silver inkstand, and two silver forks, had been taken away, besides a variety of articles, consisting of French bijuuterie belonging to Mrs. Fox. The Colo nel estimated his loss at nearly 2001. About four o'clock in the morning the prisoner was stopped by a patrol in Piccadilly, who insisted upon searching a bundle which he carried under his arm. The prisoner said the bundle contained his clothes ; but on being examined it was found to contain two silver candlesticks, two silver forks, a silver inkstand, an ornamental work box, a scent bottle, and some Ladies' trinkets, all of which were identified by Colonel Fox. The workbox had Mrs. Fox's maiden name," Mary Insclarence," engraved on the cover. Colonel Fox exprssed his surprise that a little spaniel, which lay close to the inner door, had not alarmed the house, but it was stated by the patrol that the burglars might have given the dog a preparation I on a piece of liver, which bad the effect of silencing the animal without doing him any injury. The prisoner said that be saw three men digging under a hedge that morning, about four miles from Uxbridge, who, on seeing him approach, ran away, and lett the plate and stock of the centre-bit behind, which he picked up.—He was remanded for examination.

Defendant was convicted in the penalty of U. and 1 ts. costs on the first; and 51. with Bs. costs on the second information. Lewis Dankly and Thomas Hill were brought up by West, a Bethnall.green constable. It appeared that on Monday evening a fight took place in the fields, and the officers and watchmen inter fered, when the prisoners made a brutal attack upon a private watch man, named Sears , whom they beat unmercifully with his own thick stick, and left him in a dreadtul condition.—They were remanded. LA M BET 11-STREET. Thomas Walker was charged with the following highway robbery : 1 Joseph Spencer stated, that he was returning home along White chapel on Tuesday night, when be was surrounded by five or six fellows, and robbed of his pocket-book, containing a number isf bills of exchange.—Edward Winter,* watchman, heard the cry of stop thief, and saw the prisoner running away: he pursued Was, and took him to the watchhouse.—George Webb, another watch man, saw the prisoner throw the pocket-book away, which he now produced, and was identified by the prOsecutor.

Alderman J. J. Siam thought a promise not to repeat the offence would probably suffice, but Mr. Cutto said the orders at the Com missioners were peremptory; and the Magistrate having no power of mitigation, the penalty of 40s. was inflicted. "I am not in pos session of as many farthings," said the defendant, " or any property, except the clothes on my back ;" and there being'no other resort, I be was committed to the Borough Compter for seven days.

SOUNDNESS OF THE LuNcia...l—A physician of burgh proposes an ingenious and practical test ing the soundness of the lung'. The patient is directed to draw in a full breath, and then begin to wont: as he can slowly and audibly, without again drawing in his breath. The number of seconds he can cow:- counting is then to be carefully noted. In consumption, the time dues nut exceed eight, and often less than six seconds In pleurisy and pneumonia is ranges from nine to fourteen seconds. But when the lungs are sound, the time will range as high as twenty to thirty-five seconds. Tuesday night the horse of Mr. Richard Hicks, if Newgate Market, took fright at the noise of a stage coach passing over some gravel near the Horse Guards, and,the more exertions he used to sooth and stop his the more he galloped and pulled. Finding, from tte number of carriages driving in all directions, 'hemp sibility of avoiding a most serious accident, unless im mediately stopped (going at the rate of sixteen miles ao hour), opposite Drummond's, Mr. Hicks drove him with his head against the lamp post, which stunned him, and he immediately fell. The chaise ssasoeerseti and Mr. and Mrs. Hicks, and a friend and his de, were thrown out, but providentially none ut them War hurt, except only a few slight bruises. The tome vs killed. Mr. Hicks adopted the expedient of drivirel horse against the post as the only chance of s aving the lives or limbs of himself and party. The system of imposition practised by the itinersot Irish labourers, who come over here every summer to get in the English harvest, has been disclosed to a Coto. mittee of the House of Commons, and is of a very CU' riot's nature. We understand that one man, governing a gang of twenty or thirty, brings them over here and leads them through the country, he making the bar gains for work with the farmers and receiving the wages. He advances money on account as they go on, and when the harvest is over, most of them rsttittlto their native country through the medium of paroch ial passes here, although they have several guineas secure, in the waistband of their breeches, and in other pets ct , their dress.
