The LORD MAyon ha..l been expected to preside, but from his multifarious business, had sent to decline thrit honour. in consequence of which, Mr. Alderman BnowN was unanimously called to the Chair. Yesterday morning, at half-past two o'clock, the watchman on the beat discovered the lower part of the premises of Mr. Wickford, druggist, the corner of the Three Nuns Inn, Whitechapel, to be on fire. The Aid gate and Whitcchapel engines were quickly on the spot, but before the possible arrival of any of those from the different Fire-offices, the flames had reached the entire premises, which, with the stock in trade, they con sumed, and communicating to the Three Nuns Inn, 1 1 shortly converted it into a heap of ashes.

Mr. HART moved for leave of reference to the Master, to inquire whether it would not be fur the benefit of the estate to continue Mr. Croft a Trustee, with an allow. ance of compensation for l:is trouble in the management of the estate? This application, though relative to a Theatre, was not like those made on other Theatres ; it had nothing to do with the internal management ; it was only as to the duty of landlord. Loan CnANCELLOR.—I am not aware of the nature of the thea trical management of those establishments, but I certainly know that the judicial management uf them is a very difficult affair. Mr. Scr.m.s, for the infants, declared his consent to the reference. The Lorin CH.% At:F.Ll.oll.—This is a delicate thing ; I don't know well whet to do. Trustees, who voluntarily undertake trust duties, cannot get rid of them. A Trustee cannot be allowed compens4- dun, except en the principle that it is fur the benefit of the rst,le. Trustees may employ others and pa) diem out of the estate, bui cannot take compensation fu: their own labour ; and Lord Thin low was so well aware of this, he directed by his will, in express terms, a compensation to be given to his Trustees. 31r.

COURT OF KING'S (int:AVIAN; WiIITMICAD. This was an action against tl:c defendant, who is an annuity-bioket, to recover the amount of certain sums which had been advanced by him to a Clergyman named Locke, upon two annuities, he having acted as plaintiff's broker, and neglected to take' the necessary precautions to ascertain whether his client (the plaintiff) might safely advance his money to Mr. Locke. The facts sse,e, that Mr. Locke, at the time the annuities were granted, viz. in 1818, was deeply emba - rassed ; anJ that common caution, used On the part of the defendant, would have served to have informed him of these circumstances.— Witnesses were now called to chew that at the time the transaction took place, and that the plaintiff had ad vanced his money on the recommendation of the de fendant, Mr. Locke, upon an income of 15001. a-year, had granted annuities to the amount of 12001. ; that judgments were out against him wale amount of many thousands; and that he had been thirty or forty times arrested. It also appealed, that in 1819, he was in the Fleet Ps ison, and, in the latter end of that year, a com mission of bankruptcy was sued out against him. Mr. SCAIMETT having called witnesses to substan tiate these facts, _ The ATTORNEY-GENERAL addressed the Jury on behalf of the defendant, and observed, that his Learned Friend had introduced his client (the plaintiff) as a man S 5 years of age, dead to the world; but how had his Learned Friend proved that the plaintiff was altogether dead to the world? Why, by s! , ewing that he had ad vanced his money on annuity, at the rate of 11 per cent. Now, persons who thus s.str:,;lit to make extraordinary profits, to get 11 per cent. instead of four or five per Lent. were not over scrupulous as to the nature of the security. As to the part v. hick his client (the deli-101;1:1 had taken in this transaction, he contended, that Mr. Whitehead had taken every precaution in hi-, power to ascertain that Locke's security was good.—The security for this annuity was a living held by Mr. Locke, called Hilgay. This living, which was a specific security for the 7001: advanced by the plaintiff, Mr. Locke after wards, r.amel, 1822, was deprived of, in consequence of some simoniacal contract into which he had entered ; and, owing to this circumstance, and not to any embar 'rassment of Mr. Locke's affairs, it was that the plaintiff had lost his security. As to the embarrass ments of Mr. Locke, there could be no doubt but that the plaintiff and his Solicitor (Mr. Lamb) must have known of them before the transaction of the annuity ; and that it was to the living of Hilgay, and not to any personal responsibility of Mr. Locke, that they looked for security. The Rev. Charles Locke, son of the person who granted the annuity, stated, that his father was, in 1816, possessed of the Rectory of Hilgay, in Norfolk ; in November, 1318, he resigned it, but held the advowson till 1822. The living extended over about 8,000 acre:. He had, besides this, the Curacy of Farnham, worth about NO/. and also that of Sele, worth about 60!. He also possessed a farm in Norfolk, and an estate at Whit more; at Farnham also he had some freehold property. Witness also desci ihed other fr e...h01d property which had belonged to his father. Witness had also seen letters from agents to his father, on the subject of mine property. Cr 0”-examined.—The rem of several of these estates did not come immediately into his father's pocket, but weca to pay interest of mortgages. His father was in ' deb:ea 16,0001. to 1)r. Sou el. Does not know that the income of the living of Ildgay was applied to pay the interest of the 16,000/. Dia not know in the beginning of ISIS that his tether was in difficulties. Mr. Locke war; then residing at Farnham. Witness was at Farnham in ISI ; recollects executions in the house; and once, witness thinks, he recollects his father being arrested. Dr. Hewlett is at present possessed of the living of ; had been since the beginning of 1819. Had been glad to grant a lease of the tythes at 9001. si- ; ear. Independent of this, there wer e 89 acres of glebe, .snich 'loess let for 851. a-year. There was a house on the tiring; but that had been made as it was by witness; in 1818, the value was nearly double. Mr. Locke r e-examined.—Don't recollect, on one oc casion, when an execution came into the house at Farn ham, presenting to the Officer an assignment to himself of the living, and Ore:rt.:Mug to turn the Officer out.. Recellected something of an a .signment being given to him by Mrs. Locke, just Inftne tire Officer arrived; but had not looked in the inside. The LORD CIIIEF JUSTICE summed up, stating the evidence to the Jury ; and putting it to them to say whe ther, on that evidence it could be said that the defendant had exercised due camiun in advising his client.—The Jut y found a verdict for the plaintiff —Damages b9`24 Ts.

Coroner for Westminster, at the Feathers' public•house, Dean -street, Westmin , ter, on view of the body of Mr. Charles Schmitz, a Bavarian Gentleman of rank. Robert Fenton, a lighterman, stated, that on Thurs day morning, while he was on board the Cordelia yacht, lying off the Penitentiary, he was hailed by three Gen tlemen, who were nigh him in a boat, informing biro that a body was lying athwart the buoy : witness jumped into the boat and pulled towards the deceased.
