LAW• INTELLIGENCE VICIL•CHANCRI.Lott's COURT, MAT 6: DAVIS V. 01111 Y. This was an application by Mr. KNIGHT, for a seecial injunction to restrain the defendant from selling certain property of the plaintiff s, under a wart ant of attorney. It appeared' that the defendant had formerly been a clerk in the service of Davis, at a salary of 20s. a week, which was subsequently raised toll. 10s. Davis having ; become embarrassed, Grey undertook to arrange v com promise with his creditors, who resided principally in Birmingham and Staffardshire. Grey succeeded in inducing the creditors to compromise their debts for five shillings in the pound, and to a certain extent be came personally responsible for the amount. On his return from Birmingham, the plaintiff gave him a warrant of attorney, to secure the payment to him of his liabilities, and • had since paid him several sums of money. In April last the plain tiff tendered 2001. in discharge of the entire amount, but the defendant refused to accept that sum, and made a charge of 11. a day as an accountant, for the time he was engaged in arranging the plaintiff's affairs, although he was receiving a weekly salary. It was sworn that the amount actually due to the de fendant was very small, and that he held good bills of the plaintiff, which were more than adequate to cover it. Notwithstanding this, the defendant had entered up judgment on the warrant of attorney, and would have proceeded to a sale, but for the interference of the land lord of the premises on which the property lay. The Vice-CtienetLLon thought that it would be difficult to grant an injunction, where the plaintiff had executed a warrant of attorney to confess judgment.' Mr. KNIGHT WAS satisfied that his client should at once pay. 1001. into Court. to cover any demand which the defendant might have against him. Upon this con dition the injunction was gransed. SODEURY ERRE GRAMMAR SCHOOL. His Horroua gave judgment upon this Petition.— Aftee going minutely over all the circumstances of the case, he decided that the school was a Grammar School, and 'that of course the master, the Reg. Mr. Smith, was! not obliged to teach the scholars reading, writing, and arithmetic, but that the instruction was to be confined to the dead languages. His Honour further decided tbarthe Mile and Burgesses of Sodbur y had no ri g ht to dismiss She Rey. Mr. Smith from his situation, or to eject hinefrom his house, as. they were now proceeding to do. Refetences were orderedes•to the formation ofj a scheme for the future management of the school, and I the direction of part of its revenues. His Honour said, that the conduct of the Corporation to Mr. Smith had bees harsh and improper, and that they ought to pay the costs up to the bearing. COURT OF KINO . 'S.BUNCII, MAT 6. DONN ih; MARTYR. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, who is clerk to theWardmote of Colesuan-streetWard; London, against the defendant, to recover a penalty of fifty pounds for refusing to take the oath as collector of the consoli dated rate of the ward, pursuant to the Act of Parlia ment of the Sist George 111. By this Act it was pro vided that a certain number of e substantial inhabitants" were to be appointed on St. Thomas's day annually, to 511 the office of collectors of the above rate, and item to talce a certain oath for the proper perform ance of the duties of the other; and that any one so appointed, being an inhabitant, and refusing to take the oath prescribed, should be subject to a penalty of 'fifty pounds. The defendant, was a carpenter 'sod builder, living at Greenwich, and had workshops in vielescparts of town, and a counring•house at Founder's Hall, Lothbury, *leashed tint for fifty years been used; as a dwelling- house; there was no one slept in it, nor was there any cookies carried on there. On Sr. Thomas's ; Day, 1824, the defetidaiit was ruminated d's one of the; collectors& the rate, but refined to undertaketheetffice 9 l and was sued for the penalty: Thaw y found a vet dict for the plainti&-Darnages 501.—subject to the opinion of the Collet's% to *tether the defendant was an inhabitant within-the meaning of the 'Act ?. If the Curt should decide in the negative, a nousuit was to bientered. The CoURT decided. after hearing Mr. PARtce for the plaintiff, and Mr. LAW for the defendant, that Mr. Martyr was not such an inhabitant of the Ward as to redder him liable to called upon to undertake the office.--Plaintiff non c suited. IR PARTS HAKIM • 'Mr. Sante moved the Court for a role to show cause why a writ of Maws. Corpus, to bring up the body et Cho les Baxter, who bad been committed by the Ciiesmissiutters•oi Bankrupts, in order to be discharged. This person had beets before committed by the same Commissioners. and lad been brought uphy Hubegs Corpus and discharged. The in'an had been eaarnined on the subject of the bankruptcy-of brother, and had not answered a manner satisfactory to the Commis sioners, and tl ey committed fiim ; after his discharge, the Ccimmissioners called him pp :again for examination, and he having again refused to answer to their satisfac tion. they again committed hies. The ground on which he applied for the rulewas, that the questions to which Baxter bad refseed to give satisfactory answers were not materisd.—Rule granted. 211• PA ItTS SANDAE:L. Mr, Ceeat sots moved the Court for a rule to show cause why a Writ of Mandamus should not issue, cons snanding the nediuth Railway Company to issue their precept to the Sheriff of Cornwall to gammon a Jury; to ascertain the amount of compensation due to a person of the name of Sandell, for damages done to him in his trade by the Company's entering on the land. The Company was incorporated by an Act of the sth of his present Mojesty, which empoWered the Com pany to enter upon certain lands for their purposes, paying the value, which was to be ascertained in tl.e usual manner by the verdict of a Jury. The Company entered en Sandalfs round, and a Jury had found the value, hut they had not found what was dorm Sindall, over and above the value of the land, for the damage done to tits in the way -of his trade, for which •he was entitled to compeusation under the Act. To supply this deficiency was the object of the present application.— Rule granted. CHIIIIIIAL INFORMATION. Mr. BROUGUAM moved die Court fora rule to show cause why a criminal itsfermation should not be filed against Chilies Dunn, fer a libel' on Sir It. B. Joddrell, published in a work calhed " Tete Modern Lawyer."— TLis was the same libel for which a rule for a criminal information had yesterday been made absolute against Mrs. Teutcher, whose name alone appeared as the pro prietor of the publication called they Modern Lawyer." They were before well aware that Ducts was the author -of the libel, but bad not till now been able to get legal prod of the fact. He had now an affidavit of a person eesift rsaine of Young, which stated that the maouseript of the libel was' in Dunn's handwriting—that Young . itakimirsimoi it iota Dunn to the printer's office, and bad afterwards carsied,the .prarof sheet frosnahe office to Dunn for correction. It was clear, therefore, that Dunn was the author of the libel, and the Coast could have no di ffi culty about granting the Rule. Rule granted COURT OP COMMON PLEAS, M•T I. BATTHEWS o• GALINDO. This was an action on a bill of exchange. The defence set up was, that the bill was concocted in usury. At the trial it was proposed by the defendant to call a woman, who had cohabited with the defendant for a considerable period, and passed as his site, to prove that there id as usury in the original fOrraation of the bill. The Lord Chief Justice Best, who tried the cause, was of opinion that the evidence could not be received. The Jury found for the plaintiff. A rule was sub sequently obtained for a new trial, on the ground of misdirection.—Cause having been shown, The Lord Chief Justice BEST said, he was of opinion that the judgment he had formed at the trial was incor rect. He was far from wishing to narrow the rules of admitting evidence recognised in the Courts in this country. He thought they were ton much afrdid of allowing facts to be proved. The woman w hum it was here proposed to call, although supported by the de fendant, was not de jure his wife: and, however long their connexion might have lasted, an end might have been put to it whet ever they chose. The interest, there- fore, which she had in the defendant, could by no means be the mime as that of a wife, whose connexion would be for life. He was, therefore, of opinion, that she ought to have been admitted. It would, of course, be for the Jury to say what credit they would attach to her tes timony, considering the circumstances in which she stcod with respect to the defendant. The Rule must, therefore, be made absolute. The other Judges concurred with the Lord Chief Justice.—Rule made absolute. L ANOLIN V. BROWN. • • • This was alt action to recover a awn of 3001. which the plaintiff, who is a milliner at Bedford, alleged to have been lost through the negligence of the servant of the defendant, who is. a carrier from London to the same place. It appeared that th e waggon usually, stopped for several hours during the night at a place called B:11 Bar. On the occasion in question a constant watch was not kept on the waggon, and the conaequence was that a parcel belonging the pl , intiff, of the am”unt in question, was lost from - the waggon. A verdict was found for the plaintiff. A- Rule Nisi for a new trial was ebtained. on the ground oh st the misconduct of the defendant did riot amount to gross negl!gence. Alter a short argument in showing cause, The LORD CHIRP JUSTICE, in giving his opinion, said that the rule, according to which, the fact of a carrier's conduct amounting or not ter gross negligence, was very correctly stared by Sir William Jones; was the carehe4ad taken of the property in question , such as any man would take of his owd? Now, no man could say that such would .have been the Conduct of the owner, as it appeared the defendant bad adopted to• wards this parcel. The -rule must therefore be dip charged.—Rule discharged. This morning, between two and three o'clock,. the warehouses attached to the extensive whey Page of Messrs. Jonas. HuLt., and Co. coinfactoi s, situate in Dale -street, Old Wapping, were destroyed by fi , e, which, it is be litved, originated in the negligence of some men whose duty it was to close 'the wartrOorns. The flames were first perceived from the water, sod an immediate alarm was given ; but they obtained such air ascendancy as completely to overwhelm every effort totheck them, acd were not extinguished until the ruins of the building overwhelmed and smothered them. Tbe.damage done is exceedingly ?feat, but the firm was folly insured. During the conflagration a clump of bricks at the rear of the premises tell with a loud crash, and crushed two men so dreadfully, that they were carried to the hospi tal in a hopeless state. Dispatches were received yesterday morning at the Colonial-office from Sir FARDBRICK ADAM, the Lord High Commissioner of the lonian Isles; from General PONSONDY, at Malta; and from. General DONNA, .at , Gibraltar. The Marquis Watt.Eacky's •ote-was given in favour of the bill for the repeal of the Test and Corporation Acts, as was that of Earl CAWDQR: their names were by mis►ake omitted in the published list.

They wear broad hats like-those of Quakers, and bushy hair hang ing over their backs: to judge, also, both from their sta ture and corpulency, they do not appear to be much ad dicted to abstinence and mortification ; but, on the coa teary, bear in their persons evidence of their enjoying the good things of this life.—Wilson's Travels. ADMIRALTY, PETERSIHINGSI.-It iv, nut a little mat kable, that, in the British metropolis, notwithstand ing the variety of institutions and exhibitions with which it abounds, there is not a single one set apart for models of naval architecture; and the same obser vation is applicable both to the Scottish and Irish me• tiopolis; yet the utility, as well AS interest, of such a collection, in a country that relies so much upon its naval force, can hardly be disputed; and, if I may be permitted to do so, I would avail himself of the present opportunity to call the attention of the Lord High Ad miral of England to a point that has been neglected by his predecessors in office, be having already distin-' guished himself so highly in every thing that regards] our maritime interests.—lidd. Burglaries are more frequent now Than ever in thel Metropolis and its outskirts. It ir r said that the expert: thieves often attack one house after having succeeded' in another on the same night. It is no slight proof of the boldness of the London thieves, 'that about six months afo one of them attempted to break into the Governor a house in the front of Coldbadt-fields Prison. The Governor had kept the several articles of plate, which he is in the habit of using, on the ground floor ; and the thief endeavoured to cut his way into the place, but whether he was alarmed, or his apparatus was not in good order, he did not succeed. Mr. Vicinity deter mined that the temptation should no longer remain in the same place, and removed it to another. Yesterday morning the house of Mr. Const, ivory turner, Albemarle -street, Clerkenwell, was broken into and robbed of a number of billiard and bagatelle balls, ivory boxes, apple scoops, and other ivory articles; also a silver watch, and a bag full of casinos silver and copper coins. The thieves broke open the baeltilter:, mises without noise, and evidently without • . a judgment can be formed from the manner kl w trich the wrenching iron was made to perform its part. Two of Mr. Conss's servants slept in the room below that' which was plundered. and if one of them had net de sired t he watch Man to call him before four o'clock, the shop would probably hive been completely stripped. At half-past three the boy was called, add upon going op stairs he saw the contents of several-of the drawers lying about the ground in the shop. • 1 POLICE INTELLIGENCE. • GUILDHALL. George Dailey was yesterday charged with stealing a large powerful donkey, the property of Earl Cowper. Mr. Dame, a farmer at Trwiogbury, Hens, d that the animal, which was one of the fine-t of its kind, was lent to hint by the Earl's Steward ; on Tuesday morning (she Stith ult.) it was n►issed from a meadow in Tewingbury, and on the Friday following it was found at Smith held, in the possession of one John KylEn, who stated that hr bad purchased it that morning, at the five-mile stone at Turnharn Green, of the prisoner, who was living with a gang of gipseys there. Mr. proved that the prisoner sold him the ass in question, and two others, for 4t. 3s. yesterday se'unight.—TLe prisoner was lolly I committed for trial.. BOW—STREET. Last night, James John Smith brought four well dressed persons before air. MINSHULL, charged with attempting to pick pockets yesterday at the Meeting of the Church Missionary Society, Free masons' Tavern, where 2,000 persons were assembled, and at other public places. The prisoners ate all middle-aged persons, and bad an appearance of great respectability. The first prisoner gave his name Akre Morgan, City-road ; the second prisoner said his ame was Ahri Thomas, but refused to give his address; the third prisoner was Ann Minion, alias Jennings; arl)l the fourth Harriette Triers, alias Williamson. John James Smith said, that he saw the prisoners at the Free masons' Tavern, and believing that they were there for the p urpose of committing felonies, he took them into custody. Allensby, late a constable of St. James's, said, that he knew the two female prisoners to be reputed thieves. He see them on Fri day last attempt to pick the pocket of a Lady in Great Queen street, lie also saw them on Monday night at St. Bride's Church, Fleet-street, and he had no doubt their object was to pick pockets. Herring. an in.ipector of patrol, stated, that he knew the pri soners to he teputed thieves. lie apprehended Ann Johnson seven years ago for attempting to pick the pocket of a lady in Deptford Church. Trivets, alias Willianrson, was tried at the Old Bailey with-her husband, for picking pockets, when her husband was transported for fourteen years, and she was discharged. The Ma-1 gistrate convicted the wholeof the prisoners as reputed thieves, and sentenced them severally to two months imprisonment. • QU REN-SQU ARE. Johnson, the informer, having retired, his man, Atkinson, has commenced business on his own account; and yesterday eppeared here with a new recruit as a witness, to file thirteen informations against licensed victuallers, bet the exposure of the practices of common informers lady al klation.garden bas (to use Atkinson:s own phrrse) created a " stink" that , could not fail to reach the Magistrates. Mr. Wl3lll refuted' to receive the informations, be.: eathe only One viitness could be prodhced• to support them. • W OES II I P-STREET. James Brice, a labouring man, was yesterday brought up by the parish of fi cers of St. John's, Hackney. charged with marrying Mary Stormer, a wife whom he had married ten years ago being still alive. On Monday similar charges were preferred against Mr. Dominic Fealty. a tight little Irishman, who some, two or three months since married one Mrs. Griffiths, a publican's widpw. Fur a length of time past the Magistrates have been pestered.with the alternate complaints of the last mentioned parties, who both before and since their hymeneal union seem to have been constantly strug gling for the mastery. Dominic, who was an old acquaintance of the widow's, protests that he was wheedled into the match when be was drunk, as a means of setting the widow free front certain pecuniary obligations.—The cases were remanded. THAMES POLICE. Yesterday the Captain of an East India free trader was charged, befose.Mr. &miasmic's, with assaulting a seaman named Bousfield, upon the high seas. It appeared, from the statement of the wit ness. that on the voyage from St. Helena the complainant inquired for some wood to form a couch for a sick man. The Captain said there was none'; . ilkosfield contradicted him ; some words arose, and the Captain ordered bins to be lashed up and flogged. Bousfield retreated into the gallry, but was, by the Captain's order, dragged out and tied up, and a black man ordered to flog him. The black man refused to dog a white man, and also secreted himself, but was discovered, and the Captain struck him with a rope's end until the black, to save himself, administered the punishment upon Bousgeld, who now applied for redress.—The Captain defended himself upon the necessity there was to keep subordination among the crew, the complainant having been exceedingly insolent and sbusive.—The Captain was ordered to find bail, which he did, and was discharged.

He .was iw the habit t f conducting the vocal department . in the Chapel, and as he has a most deep, powerful, and melodious voice, he, received a great deal of flattering admiration, even amongst persons who were expiating their own offences. He had entertained hopes of some remission of the commuted punishment. in - consequence of the representation made to Mr. Seams Rion -in his favour ; but that Gentleman was,.wc understand, soon after the commutation of the sentence. of death, unde-.1 ceived. The amount of his depredations may be guessed' at from the facility' with which, upon the commutation of his sentence, he concealed the diamonds. and the ad-, dress with which he blindd the people whom he was robbing. He said in Ncwgate that some of the phreno logists bad examined his skull, and pronounced it to be rich in musical bumps, but that they were unanimous in declaring that tl , e organ or bump of discretion was net at all perceptible. Fur about a fortnight past four men, apparently, by their accent, from the South of England, have, at inter valt,been staying at the Volunteer Inn, in lleansgate, 'Manchester. It is conjectured, from their motions, that they contemplated some robbery of importance, and were then busied in making their preparations. Chance, however, threw in their way a booty which they could not have foreseen, but of which they were by no morns slow to avail themselves. Mr. Edwards, a manufac turer of jewellery, at Birmingham, came to the Volun seer, having a considerable quantity of his wares in a box, which was inclosed in a travelling bag. -After having been out on Friday morning last, amongst his customers, he dined at the Volunteer; and, about three o'clock, went out, leaving his property in the travellers room, and leaving also there two of the four individuals whom we have mentioned. These persons had no doubt ascertained the nature of the contents of Mr. Edwards's bag; for, on his return, about four o'clock, he found that his box had been forced open, and nearly the whole of the contents, consisting of seals, rings, &c. to the value of about 4001. carried away. The robbery appeared to have been erected with great deliberation. the jewellery was deposited in a number of trays, which were placed in the Ist x one above another. All these, with the exception of one, had been taken. out, and stripped, and then carefully; returned into .the box,, which was replaced in the bag, as if nothing had hap • pened. The tray which the robbers had not removed contained only gilt articles of very trifling value ; and there is reason to suppose that- when the robbers saw the nature of its contents they thought it would be use.' less to examine further ; and very well it was that they ,did so, for if they had lifted out the tray they would have seen, in the bottom of the box, 120 sovereigns, and', several at tides of jewellery of considerable value, which' escaped their rapacious grasp. They were seen to leave room about a quarter of an hour before Mr. Edwards's. retero,.and of course did not revisit the house. They had paid for everything as they had ,it, and conse quently hid no reckoning 'to discharge. Nothing has' ' been heard of them or the property ; but they axe sup. posed to have quitted the town immediately. DIED. Aged 73, William Nowt% Esq. of !Sty, mar 0114°41' Vito- Admiral of the Blue.
