This was a petition ptesented by a Mr. Collins, for permission to prove a debt tinder the commission. The circumstances appeared to be, that the bankrupt being in want of certain discounts, applied to a Mr. Eagle! to get him bills to the amount of 1,6001. cashed. At the same time, by way of further security, and for the pur pose of enabling Eagles to accomplish that object, the bankrupt placed in his hands a quantity of hops. Mr. Eagles then got the bills discounted by Mr. Collins on, these terms, and the hops were transferred to his pos. session. Before the bills became due, the commission issued, end they were consequently dishonoured. On Mr. Collins presenting himself to prove for the amount of the bills, he was told that he would not be permitted to do so unless he gave up the bops; and refusissg to do this, the memo petition was presented by him. The question was reduced to this point—whether Mr. Col lins, at the time of discounting the bills, knew that the hops belonged to the bankrupt, or whether he took them to be Eagles's in consequence of the representations made by him. Affidavits had been filed on each side, the one asserting, the other contradicting this fact. The Loan CHANCELLOR said, he thought the pre ponderance of the evidence was in favour of Mr. Col lins's claim, and, however hard it might appear to be on the other creditors, that he had a right to prove for the debt which bad been incurred by his discounting Mr. Booker's acceptances, and to keep the hops which he t ,oft as a security in his transaction with Mr. E sgles. The petition was therefore granted. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Geozwat.e., Jaw. IS. Sktings before Food Thaw= and Special Juries. cox V. BORRODAILE. This was art action by Messrs. Cox and Co. to recover the sum of 3,0001 upon a bill of exchange accepted by the defendants, Messrs. Borrodaile and Co. and endorsed to the plaintiffs. Proof of the handwriting of the patties being given, TLC ATTORNEY GENERAL addressed the Jury for the defendants. The plaintiff's, he apprehended, could not recover in this case, the endorser not having complied with the conditions on which he received the bill from Messrs. Sikes and Co. by whom it had been dis counted. The short facts were these :—Doring the panic in December, 1825, Mr. Hodges, a stock broker, had assisted Messrs. Sikes and Co. (upon whose house a great run had been made) with a loan of money ; and the bill in question, which had been discounted by them, was paid over to Mr. Hodges as a security for such loan, on the understanding that he should give up some Exchequer Bills which he had also received from Sikes and Co. He had not, however, delivered up the bills until the house of Sikes and Co. had stopped pay ment. Under these circumstance:, he (the Attorney Geneitit') contended that the plaintiff , could not recover. Mr. Wilkinson, a partner in tie house of Messrs. Sikes and Co. examined—Tile def.n.iants, Messrs. Borrodaile, had an account at our house. We dis counted the bill in question, and the amount was carried to the credit of the defendants. The ba lance of their cash account with us on the 13th of December, 1825, was 4,548/. 10s. 3d. Had it not been for our misfortunes, we shncld have debited the de fendants with the amount of the bill when it became due. Mr. Hodges was in the habit of accommodating our house with limo - . He had two accounts with us—the cash account and the loan account. He had various se.- curities for the loan account, but he had no security for the cash account. On the 13th of December, 1825, there was a considerab!e run upon our house. At that time' Mr. Hodges held an Exchequer bill for 5,000/. and a Peruvian bond. On the mot-ling of the 13th he paid in 8,8201. The sum drawn out was 9,679/. 35.81 malting an excess of 859/. I sent for M:. Hodges, and he came to the banking house in the course of the morning. I requested him to pay in some notes by way of loan to us, which he consented to do, and as security for them I gave him two bills of exchange (one O which is the bill in question), and requested him, when he drew out any money, to return us the other securities (the Exchequer bills), which he agreed to do. I saw him again the same day; this was after 1 knew bow many cheques had been drawn on us tl.at day, and how many we should have to pay at the clearing. I had ascertained that we should have sufficient funds to pay all cheques at the cleating, so that Mr. Hodges's cheques were sure to be paid. 1 then asked him-for the Exchequer bills, and 1 think he told me had not got them. l have no doubt that the cheques had been cancelled at that time. The banking-house was not opened for payment after that day. On the 14th I requested kb. Desborough, our Solicitor, • to endeavour to procure the Eochtquer bills from Mr. Hodges. I never gave any authority to Mr. Hitchea or Mr. Powell to negociate respecting these bills. Mr. Desborough brought them to me on the 17th. Ido nut know what has become of them ; and 1 did not know at the time upon what terms they had been procured from Mr. Hodges. Cross examined.—The Exchequer bills were nor, I believe, the property of any of the parties in the banking house. The cash account was entered in the pass-book very day. The interest upon the loan account was settled every six months. It was kept in our house.— Toe cash would appear in the pass book, and an entry would be made from that book into the loan account. Mr. DEBBOROUGH, the solicitor, stated, that he went' on the 14th of December to Mr. Hodges, to endea vour to prevail upon him to deliver up the Exche quer bills. He told witness that circumstances had altered, and that it would be better to wait until assignees were chosen. He said the bills were in the possession of a Gentleman whom he expected in town that afternoon. Witness called again ow the fol lowing day, when Mr. Hodges said he had been advised not to give up the bills, except through the medium Of a public sale in the market. Witness afterwards pro- ' cured them from Mr. Brochick, the barrister. Cross-examined—lt was known at that time that the hue had stopped payment. Mr. Hitchin examined—l applied to Ma. Hodges on the part of Messrs. Sikes and Co. for the Eschequet-bills,, which 1 procured on the 17th liodges would not give them up without an indemnity against any loss he might sustain by so dying•--The indemnity was read. Cross-ezAmined.-1 drew a cheque on Messrs. S kvi and Co. on the 13th of December, after five o'clock. 1 drew it at their house. I had advanced them money oa loan, and ri crived some securities, part of which were Exchequer-bills. Mr. Wilkinson told me that the house was run very low indeed; and that oi.e of the part.-.ers was gone to a friend to St'e if he could get as• sistance. I then asked him whether, if he did not pro• cure that assistance, he thought the house must stop.— He said he feared so, and that he was very anxious to get the Exchequer-bills on which I had made an ad vane. He then left the room, and on his return, said he could let me have only 2,5004 He brought the no:es back, and said, I can't let you have the Exchequer bills to-night—they are not all in my possesi•ion.—l have pledged them elsewhere. I returned 1,5001. to Mr. Wilkinson that night, and I drew a cheque for 2,000/. as a satisfaction of my claim. Mr. Law, a clerk in the banking house of Sikes and, Co. sated, that Mr. Hodge?: cheques were had from the clearing house at a quarter past four on the after anon of the 13th of December. They were then can celled, and passed through the cash book. Witness stopped at the banking house till past ten o'clock that night. Whin he left it was doubtful whether the house would open the next day. It did not open the next day. A great number of persons were assembled round the house, and bills were presented for payment. An Act of Bankruptcy by Messrs. Sikes and Co. on the 14th of December, 1825, was admitted. - • Two other witnesses (clerks in the hnnse of Sikes and Co.) were examined; after which the Counsel on both sides agreed to refer the action. This being communi• cated to the Court, .- --- Lord TILNTERDEN said, I think the parties have acted wisely as respects themselves, and properly as respects each other. A verdict was then entered for the plaintiffs subject to a reference. LOVELA ND V. KNIGHT. This was an action arising out of one of the numerous' cases of defaulting on the part of tax collectors. It was brought to recover a considerable sum, the amount of an alleged deficiency, of a person of the name of Winkle, a late collector of taxes of the palish of St. Mary, Islingion. After a good deal of evidence had been gone into, a verdict was entered for 1141. 19s. 6d. subject to a legal question, to be decided by the Court above. JARMAW V. 01.0FIFLD. (Before a Common Jury.) This was as action against the defendant, to recover the amount of a bill of a paper hanger, for paper hang. ing and decorating the defrndant's house in Pall-mall. There was no defence; and the case being proved, a verdict was taken for 2E4 I ls. 71 • COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Gottonxtt, JAN. 18.

We have much pleasure in stating, that the I.onn CHIEF Juar.cs is again able to resume his judicial duties. His Lordship's bodily health appears to be quite restored. but his feet and legs are still so much affected by the severity of his late attack of the gout, that the power of walking, or even standing, is totally denied him. He was con , ,equently borne into Court in the arms of bis attendants, and quitted it in a similar manner. HANCOCK AND VASES V. HuDGSON, BLEADZN, HONE, ROBESTS AND HAWLSIR. In this action the plaintiffs sought to recover a sum of 1,7561. the amount of two instalmcits w hick the de. fendants, as Directors of the Goonearl Mining Com pany, had agr. ed to pay the plaintiffs in part payment of a Cornish mine which they had purchased of them. The terms upon which the purchase was made were contained in a deed which was set forth in the decla ration. The defendants pleaded first, that this deed was not theirs, inasmuch as that ►everal alterations and interlinea:ions had been made in it subsequently to their signature. being affixed; secondly, that the alleged teed was not executed as a deed,but as an escrow; and thirdly, that it had been obtained out of their possession by fraud. It was proved, however, on the part of the plaintiffs, that the deed had been properly executed, and it was ;accordingly received in evidence; but when read, it was discovered that the word " did" had been reci7ed in the record instead of " do." as appeared in the deed ; and . the Counsel for the defendants submitted, that it was a material variation, and must prove fital to the case. The LOAD CHIEF JUSTICE said, he was of opinion that it was not a material vat istion, and he should therefore overrule the obj ctioa, adding, that technical objections of this kind had long been a disgrace to the law, and so long as he sat upon the Bench, he would never sanction or encourage them. The deed having been read, it was contended on the part of the defendants, that the mere signature of the parties was not sufficient to make a deed good and va lid in law. It was necessary, after the signatures, that it should be delivered to the proper party. In the present case it had been obtained from defendants' Attorney, upon the understanding that it was not finished, and that it should be returned. It was insisted, therefore, that it was not obtained as a deed, but merely -111 an escrow, and that consequently the plaintiffs could not recover upon it. For the difeirdait Hawl:r it was stated that he had paid a sum of money as part pay ment of the debt to the plaintiffs, which they'hasi :e• turned to some of his to-directors, who had retained it. It was insisted, theseforearat this claim could not be prosecuted against him. Evidence was given in support of this statement. The Loan CHIRP Juartca, ill summing up, left it to the Jury to say whether the evidence which had been adduced was sufficient in their opinion to establish the defence ? The Jury were of opinion tbat it was not, ncd without hesit4tion returned a verdict for the plaintiff s —Da. usages, 1,7501. HIGH COURT OF DILEOATES, jaw lc The argument in the case of " Clack and Clark against Dew" occorged the whole of this day: Sir C.

Me went on Tuesday to Mr. Hod son, and - told him there was a customer for a quantity of old news papers, and the complainant sent them,' as directed, by a boy, who was to bring back the money. The boy, however, was no scholar, and the prisoner gav him no more that. about half the amount of the demand, thinking that his commission ought to reach a moiety of the sum givesl. The prisoner said, that he received no more than the money be had given to the boy, and that he was as bad a scholat as the hely. He added, that thepaper was very deficient in weight, as it had had time to dry in the open air —(A laugh). The LOUD Miami remanded the prisoner. BOW-STREET.

The applicant had been committed under the Hawker's Act, and on the first night of his couhnement, the man alluded to threw some blankets over him, and deprived hint of all he bad got in his pockets. Sir R. Boma expressed the utmost indignation at such conduct, and wished that mention had been made of the circumstance at the niceties of the klagiatrates which had taken place en the pre ' vious day. Jones. the sealer, said that such robberies were frequent. Sir RICHAno,on hearing this, directed him to order the Governor of the Prison minutely to examine into the matter, and the appli cant was directed to be in attendance on that day week. Citherine liars is, a nymph of the paid, whose manners and address bespoke the woman of education, was charged with rob bing a harness maker, named Savory, of two sovereigns. The pill:s had passed the previous night together, and in the morning the money was missing from the fob of the prosecutor's unmentionables. He accused the prisoner, who denied the fact, and said that the landlady was as bad as her. Prisoner—Well, although I admit myself to be in the lowest degree of degradation, can it be denied but the person who keeps a house is , equally bad? Sir Rieman') admitted the fact, but notwithstanding comntitted the prisoner. IIATTON GARDEN. Last night a man named JahoS.terter, about fifty years of age, was charged with passing forged Bank of England notes. Tues day last the prisoner and a wain named Smith, having been drinking at the Britannia piablic-house, Ilattlebridge, gave the landlord (Mr-Ow/cry) a SZ. note, and directed him to deduct the amount of their expenses. He immediately changed the note as desired. Yesterday evening the pi banner again went to Mr. Uwery's house, and ordered some gin and rum to b: sent to his lodgings, in latncaster-street, liattlebridge. in payment he gave a 54 note, which Mr. Owery changed, and the prisoner left the house. Shortly after, Mr. Owery discovered that the note was a forgery ; and upon loo king: at the one he had taken from Smith on the evening previous, be discovered that that also was a turgery. He then went to ancaster-street, but found the prisoner did not reside there. Afterwards the prisosier•was apprehended ha the Hornsey-road.

A few days back. having missed the half doyen of spoons, he made a strict inquiry through the fa mily after them ; but every one declared his ignorance of the chan nel through whi ch they were lost. le consequence of which, the young Allen was taken to task and examined about them, who im mediately confessed that he had taken them one by one, pawned some with different pawnbrokers, and sold others to the prisoner Waters. Mr. Rooms, from a feeling that there were persons probably of maturer years acting as instigators of this felony, and sharing in the spoil,ordered them for re.examination on Wednesday next, and de. sired that a strict Investigation should be set on foot meanwhile. MARLBOROUGH.-STREET. Elisabeth Martin, au old woman, who says she belongs to EN& ing, in Berkshire. was charged with stealing a great coat teem the Hon. Leslie klelville's, Park. Crescent.

The owners honing become bankrupts, coold suit assist them; and they were again sent to the India Hours, and by them to the Ma gistrates.—Mr. UALLAiTY)III thought that the conduct et the India House was very bad; the parish was not to be burthened with the poet creatures, who were greatly to be pitied.
