Several of our contemporaries seem to have completely Ode. taken the state of the question of publishing Police Reports, as it stands between us and the attorney DUNCAN. They suppose that be has actually obtained a verdict against us, whereas the action in which we are concerned has never gone to trial at all, and most probably never will be carried to that ordeal. When he declared against us for a like; we pleaded first, the general issue, not guilty; nest, that the articles of Which b e com plained gave a true account of his examinations at a public Ake, before a Police 31agtstrate which, as we contended, we had a right to publish, and finally, th at the facts stated were true. — To those pleas asserting the right to publish, and those alleging the facts to be true, he demurred. That is to say, be denied that in law we had the right contended for, and he insisted that upon the face of our own record, the account was an incorrect one. The question was brought in-the usual way before' the Judges of the King's Bench, and after argument they decided that the pleas asserting the right to publish police reports were bad in law ; but they left the other issues to go to a Jury. Upon these disal lowed pleas they gave judgment for DUNCAN but it remains for that person to bring the cause to trial on the ;mites still depending, upon which we are prepared to meet hint ; fur him also it remains to proceed on the judgment which be has obtained on the disallowed pleas from the Court of King's Bench, and the moment he does we shall be in a capacity to remove the question to the House of Lords. COMBINATIONS IN DUBLIN. This abominable system increases rather than di minishes. We have had lately to record several in human outrages which have resulted from it. At six o'clock ore Monday evening, the house of Mr. Butter- Windt, clothier, 53, in Chamber-street, was entered by five or.six men, alined with bludgeons—they had pre viously rapped at the door ; when it was opened, they rushed in, broke the furnitote, the windows, and as saulted Mr. Butterworth's mother—he fortunately es caped wctse treatment, having been absent at the rime. This system has become very alarming—if it be in the power of a lawless and desperate banditti to break into, or even enter the private houses of all whom their edicts may mark out for summary vengeance—no home is a sanctuary from ruffians, no family secute from such visitations. No time should bt lost in probing the really alarming combination to the bottom. We can understand that an station of trades exists in this me tropolis, to a very serious extent—and exchange of ser 7 vices is no uncommon thing among .them—the nailers are ready to do business for saw)ei 3 and others, and in return receive their friends' help in like way—so faith ful ate they to each other, that the utmost difficulty exists in bringing offenders to justice—Dablin Paper. WINCHESTER, Fes. 5.—A writ of inquiry of da , mages, in a cause, Lord Palmerston v. Charles Henry Wade, Esq. of Upton House, near this place, was exe cuted at the Town-hall yesterday. It was proved, on the pint of the plaintiff, that the defendant, wi Ii his . servant and two drigs, committed a trespass in Night ingale Wood (a preserve of the plaintirs).in the early part of October last, and repeated k on the loth of November, after having received sevetal notices front the gamekeepers of the latter not to trespass, one of whom the defendant had endeavoured in vain to conci liate by the amicable offer of a gratuity. The Jury assessed the damages at 6d. Saturday se'nnight, as early as six o'clock, Mr. Crab tree, of Colston Bassett, Nottinghatnshite, was return ing home, and when going up Colston-lane, he was stopped -by two men, who threw a rope over his horse's head, which immediately slipped from the horse on to Mr. Ctabtree, and catching him tound his neck, drag ged him off, and nearly strangled him. The horse set off at full speed home, and an alarm being excited by its lappearance, a servant man of Mr. Clabtree's mounted ; him, and went in search of his master ; he had not pto -ceeded far, when he .aw Mr. Mat tin's waggoner r ei:der ing assi‘tance to Mr. Crabtree, whom be had just f.tnid thrown into a ditch, with his hands tied behind bins, also his feet tied together, and been robbed of upwards of 1201.—Doncaster Gazette. A letter ft om Honduras of the I I th of December, re ceived at Kingston, states that the town of Truxillo, in the province of Honduras, had been taken possession of by the Chat ihs and some French people, who had driven away the European Spaniards.— AU the chief people and authorities of the place bad arrived at Belize. Omoa was likely also to fall into the hands of the Charibs, and the cireumstancewas considered soinjurious to the settlement of Belize, that the interference of the British was strongly urged, to recover the possession of those places from the Chatibi. A letter irons Madeira, tit the 12th ultimo, says— " Yesterday, at 20 minutes past three, I was witness to a moat extraordinary phenomenon :- about a league out, beyond the ship ping in the port. the sea seemed to be boiling and throwing out smoke, as if from a submarine bre, and I almost expected every 'moment to see the flames bursting out. After a time, I espied a stream of water descending from a cloud , very high in the air, proving the appearance-to be a beautiful water-spout. This hap pened in a fine clear day, and remained in view about half an hour." INSOLVENTS' PRTITION6 TO BE HEARD, FEB. so, AT THE COUKT, PORTUGAL-STRUT, LiXdPLII .

Counsel were fully heard in the lunatic petition, artd the arguments occupied the whole of the day. The LORD CHANCELLOR observed, that this was a pe-. tition (,f a singular nature. It was that of the husband against the wife, and it prayed for a commission to en quire whether or not she was a lunatic? In the whole course of his long practice he never recollected but one case of the same kind, and there the commission was refused. This Lady conceived herself to hive been ill used by her husband. This might be true or false, but Of this he felt quite sure, that he (Lord Eldon) should be the most mischievous of all human pe-ts, if he was to issue a commission upon the facts as they had been stated to him upon affidavit. The female sea, supposed to be inferior to the male in point of reason (..vhether justly or Pot he could not pretend to determine,) very .ften felt strongly when they conceived tl emselves to be ill-used. Was he then to issue, a commission be cause this Lady had gone beyond the strict line of rea son w ith respect to her alleged ill-treatment ? After some further observations relative to the judgment be had given in Lord Portsmouth's case, and the doubts he then entertained, he concluded by dismissing the peti tion.—The question of costs was reserved. SHERIFF'S COURT, COLEMAN-STREET, FEB. 5. CHARLES ThIsTAN COUNT DE MONTH , 'LON, EXECUTOR OF TILE LAST w ILL OF NAPOLEON BONAPARTE, PLAIN TIFF, JAQUES LAFITTE, DEFENDANT. Mr. F. Poi.t.oca, Counsel fur the plaintiff, stated that the plaintiff was the executor of the lad will of Napo- . leon Bonaparte ; and the defendant had been Bona parte's banker in Paris, with whom he was in the hank of lodging considerable suns of money, previous to his quitting France in the year ISIS. When Bonacarte left Fiance in that year, he took with him documents from the defendant, which sheaved the amount of the money then in the defendant's hands belolving to Bonaparte. These documents it would not be neces sary now to produce ; but an account, the result of them, and a declaration of the defendant's admitting its cor rectness, and that the balance equal to £1'29,422 6s. 2d. 'remained in his hands, would be pioveJ, which would entitle the plaintiff to a verdict for that sum. It would he unnecessary to clove the Will cf Bonaparte, as the defendant, by alloning judgment to go by default,Wd mined that the plaintiff was his exeLwor. Honourable Dauglas Kinnaila stated, that he was acquainted with the defend .nt's ha.,d-writing ; be had seen him write, and was in the habit of seeing his writing every week ; the signature to the account and declaration produced %tete in the defendant's hand-writing. Mr. John Allan Powell produced translated copies Of the account and' declaration moved by Kinnaird.— The balance due to B maparte on the account was 3,248,500 francs. The declaration stated, that the de fendant held that sum on account of Napoleon Bona parte, and was Bated January 15, 1825. Major Miller stated that he knew the defendant, and had lately seen him in Paris, at which time he (the de fendant) read the declaration now produced, and said the contents were true. Mr. Wiiliam Criquler stated, that he was clerk to a French merchant in London, and was acquainted with the rate of exchange with France. At the rate of ex change yesterday, 3,218,500 francs was equal to C1i9,422 Gs. 2.!. This was the case for the plaintiff, to which theta was no defence. The SecounallY charged the Jury that the evidence was complete. The Jury immediately assessed the damgaes at 6i tr 9,422 64. ad. SECONDARY'S COURT, FEBRUARY 5. HENRY CONSTANTINE JENNINGS U. WITCHURCH. This was an action to recover 1701. as a compensa- 1 tion for services performed by plaintiff, as an en gineer,and defendant had suffered judgment by default. Mr. Battumy opened the plaintiff's case, and stated that the plaintiff was an engineer of high and acknol hedged talent ; the defendant was proprietor of an ex ,tensive establishment in Goswell-street, for the drying of ,bacon. It was suggested by the former, that bacon could be dried much more advantageously by the adop tion of Perkins's patent stoves ;for that purpose: he at tended the defendant on more occasions than one, and pointed out the mode in which ;hi stoves could be ap plied, in consequence of which one of them was adopted, and answered the purposes contemplated, though not so effectually as the defendant expected. A bill of par ticulars was put in as a part of the plaintiff's case, wherein charges were made for driwings, designs, &c. none of which, however, were produced, and the only drawing ever made by the plaintiff, that . appeared in evidence, was the delineation of an angle in chalk on a door, which was to suggest an alteration in one of the pipes of the stove.—Evidence having been examined, Mr. ADOLPHUS then addressed the Jury for the de fence, in an eloquent and humorous speech. He ridi culed the idea of the plaintiff having a right to extraor dinary compensation, because he had given his friend a suggestion which had turned out of advantage. His Learned Friend, however, who had opened and con clucted the case with much ability, had felt his case falling away from under him, and had had the pru dence to stop it as soon as he could. One shilling would be ample compensation in the present case, and would afford the .plaintiff ao useful lesson how he again tried experiments with his friends, by bringing actions against them. The Jury, after as hour's consultation, found a v erdict—Daal Ames 40s. • in. the Insolvent Deli7=ourt, on Friday. Mary , and Harriet Boater, two respectable young women, were el posed for debts amounting to about two hundred pounds. They were milliners, and had 'Miffed she debts for furniture, in order to increase their business, principally with a view to support an aged father antifamily. It was the opinion of the Court, that their Adventure was praiseworthy, and they were discharged. Upon leaving the Court, the youngest fell into fits. Thursday, the Court of King's Bench, in the case of &lissom a. Doirrox made the rule absolute, on contition tbit Mr. Eu.nros should produce the letter received in answer.
