• LAW COURT OF CHANCERY, Jams' 2. HALL V. COOK. Mr. SHADWELL Misted for an injunction to restrain the defendant, a lace manufacturer at Not , ingharn, from infringing a patent which the plaintiff had procured for the exclusive use of a machine, invented by him, for singeing lace by means of inflammable gas. The affi davits stated the invention by the plaintiff, and that sus picions being entertained b► him that the defendant was using a machine like hit, he caused a search► to be instituted. The persons employed in this search stated thatthey went to the defendants house in Nottingham, and that in a room at the top of the house (the windows of which were whitened and obscured, so as to prevent ny nee from the adjoining houses seeing what was going on) they found the defendant and others at +cork %with a machine of the same, or a similar kind to that for which the plaintiff hat obtained his patent, and that with this machine the defendant was singeing Toe injunction was therefore granted. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Jour 2. Mr. Jaltice LITTLIDALI sat at Nisi Prigs this morn ing, and tried several undefended causes, alter which the four Judges sat ix bunco. _ _ 'The action was one of assault; and the Learned Ser-1 [rant bad obtained his Rule on an affidavit of the plain tiff, an officer of this Cents, who had been en3ployed to serve between 200 and 300 notices of ejectment on the inhabitants of Stafford and its vicinity, at the suit of Mr. James Stamp Sutton Cooke, who claims the Barony of that place. The fulfilment of this duty had brought on the plaintiff the hostility of the whole town; and he stated in his affidavit that he had been as saulted by the defendant, who, with many others, had followed him round the town. from place to place armed with pitchforks and halters, and had marched him through the streets to the sound of drum and fife. His affidavit concluded by stating, that such was the general hostility of the inhabitants towards him, that he firmly believed he should not be able to obtain a fair trial in the town, or arty part of the county. Mr. Sergeant TEDDY this morning sheweJ cause against the rule, and producedlhe affidavits of the de fendant and his apprentice.- The former was a tailor. Tho he (Mr. Sergeant Taddy) was Informed. had a most invincible horror to any - sound that even ap proached to any thing like martial music—(A laugh). The Learned Sergeant then read the affidavits, which stated that the defendant had no pitchforks in his house, nor did he ever follow the plaintiff armed with ens weapon of the kind, and that he had several wit nesses to call, who were resident in Stafford, to whom it would be extremely inconvenient to attend a trial at any other place. Under these circumstances, he thought their Lordships wnuld not be disposed to grant the rule. Mr. Sergeant WILDS, in support of the rule, said that the Under-sheriff and the Coroner were also de fendants to suits brought by the plaintiff. The former of these was attorney to the defendant, and he and the Coroner had the striking of the Julies who tried cases in Stafford. It would be evident, therefore, to the Court, that it was exceedingly material to the plaintiff that the case should not be tried in that town. Under these circumstances, the Court directed that DAUNGET V. COLONEL BERKELEY. Mr. TAUNTON moved to make absolute a rule Nisi, tobtained by the Solicitor General for a new trial in this cause, which our readers will recollect was an actiow for criminal conversation with the wife of the•plainti who was a clothier. The cause was tried before Lord Tenterden and a special Jury, at the sittings after last Hilary Term, when a verdict was found for the plain tiff, with 1,0001.. damages. The Solicitor General, on applying for the rule, said, that the damages were so large as to surprise every person who had heard the trial, but he relied principally upon the fact of one of the special Jurymen who tried the cause, Mr. Hughes, being the assignee of the plaintiff, who was a bankrupt. Lord Taerraanate, at the instance of Mr. Taunton, read the report of the trial, after which the At-roe/mt. GENERAL, Mr. GURNEY, the COMMON SERGEANT, and Mr. CHITTY sheered cause against the rule, and con tended, first, that the damages were not excessive. The wife of the plaintiff before her unfortunate con nexion with the defendant, had conducted herself in r proper and becoming manner, so that no imputation could be cast upon her character; she bad borne the plaintiff children, and they enjoyed domestic hip piness. It was of little consequence to the plaintiff, whether his wife felt a victim to the skill of the defendant, and to his knowledge of the weaknesses of the female heart, through the slow progress of long continued and assiduous attentions, or through the ad vantage he took of a sudden opportunity. In the midst of his misfortunes, the only consolations the plaintiff had left.were his wife and family t the defendant had bereaved him of his wife, and the damages were little enough for such an injury. With respect to the second point, there were affidavits to shew that Mr. Hughes was but a small creditor of the plaintiff, and that he had before the trial assigned his debt; so thiit he never had much interest in the estate of the defendant, and had none whatever when he sat as a juror in the cause. Mr. TAUNTON, Mr. BRoUGHAbf, and Mr. CAMPBELL, in support of the rule, contended that the damages were excessive; for that Lady not only yielded to the first. solicitation, but seemed the more willing person of the two, and large damages in such a ere had an immoral tendency, as it destroyed the distinctions between right and wrong—between the estimation in which a good and a bad wife should be held. As to the other point, Mr. Hughes was personally answerable for the costs of the commission, and all the proceedings under the bankruptcy, in ease there were not sufficient assets to defray them ; and no assignment of his debt, or any act that he could do, would free him from this liability. It was clear, therefore, that he had an interest in the amount of the assets of the estate, and it was impossible to say that such interest had not biassed him. Lord TENTERDEN, after consulting with the other Judges, said that on the latter ground the rule for a new trial should be made absolute, on payment of costs. Mr. Hughes might have an interest as assignee in the amount of the damages, and at all events he ought not to have been on the Jury. It was of the greatest im portance that the administration of justice, through trial by Jury, should be placed above all suspicion. Mr. Justice BATLEY added, that the Court were not influenced in their determination by the amount of the damages, which they saw no reason for thinking exces sive.—Rule for new trial absolute on payment of costs. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. JULY Y. At the sittings of the Court this morning, Messrs. Sergeants Tann; Citoss, and WILDE were sworn as •Ig's Sergeants. HUSHING O. ROTHSCHILD. .the venue should be changed to Warwick. In the course of the day, Mr. Jtmes Stamp Sutton Cooke made a personal application to the Court, to ob tain judgment against the casual ejector, on several affidavits which he produced, and which were read by the officer of the Court. Oa three of these affidavits the Court granted Rules to shew cause. MR• COOKE:THE STAFFORD PEERAGE., Mr. James Stamp Sutton Cooke, the brother of the Gentleman who-claims to be Lqrd Stafford, appeared upon the floor of the Court, holding in his hand a large parcel of affidavits, relating to a variety of ejectment causes, in which he was plaintiff. One of his objects , then was, to move the judgment of the Court upon thirty of the casual ejectors. He had discovered that the lands on which the town of Stafford had been built, were held by the tenure, called Borough English ; he then, as next brother to Lord Stafford, was entitled to that property. He appeared in person, not having the means to fee Clunsel, and he trusted that some Gentle man of the Bar would have the humaui:y to take up biv cause. tt the titl of this case, a special verdict was taken, order that tie facts should be argued bef3re the The LORD Cut.cr JUSTICE said, that the proper course for a person circumstanced as he was, would be to make an application to a Judge in Chambers, upon an affidavit, stating himself not to be worth a certain sum,and accom panied with the certificate of a Barrister, that he had a good cause of action. Mr. Cooke then moved in person upon the affidavits, which were read by the of i:er of the Court, but in only three cases was the application of Mr. Cooke agreed to. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Jets , E.

Some time since the case was argued by the Counsel on both sides, but the Collet took time to con 'der previous to giving their judgment. The question their consideration was, whether the plaintiff was led to recover the amount of certain deposits which :ad paid into the hands of the defendant on the ipolitan Loan, of which the latter was the contractor? : plaintiff had refused to pay up the whole of the in- Anents, until he found the scrip had then to a pre im. He then made an offer to pay up the whole of sum be was in arrear, but was rejected by the de idant, who also refused to give up the money that ' been deposited. Upon this the plaintiff brought his Aon, which was disposed of as before staled, when 'ought befote the Jury, and upon which the Court is morni►g gave judgment. The LORD Cum Justice said, that having consi dered the whole facts of the case, the Court were of Tinton, that under all the circumstances the plaintiff entitled to recover the amount of the deposits he made. It would be contrary to law and jus tice, if a man were to lose 99 per cent. because he had paid the remaining one. There was one point which id not been raised by the Learnel Counsel on either le, which the Court thought proper to mention in the •nt of this case being carried into a Court of Appeal, ten it might be thought that it had escaped their tendon also. It was this—whether any subject, with '. the express consent and authority of the King, quid advance a loan to any foreign Power ? There *as a doubt in the mind of the Court upon this point; as it had not been raised, it would not affect their piesent judgment, which they decided should be for the Aaintiff. SIDNEY S. COCKER. A duel took place a year ago in the wood of Bou logne, between two medical students ; one of them was bit with a pistol-bail, and died on the spat—the other fled immediately. A prosecution was entered against the latter, tootling to skew that the combat did not takoplace according to the usual forms adopted for the purpose of nullifying the effects of these deplorable quarrels. Bring referred from the Chamber of Accusation to the Court of Assizes, Sitar GOOMID suffered himself to be judgedparcentunsace, and was sentenced to bard labour for life, as having been guilty of voluntary murder. lie was taken prisoner within the last fort night, and presented bimselt on Saturday to purge his cantaimace. His defence was successful; be was therefore acquitted by theJary, and set al liberty forthwith.—French Paper. Friday, about half-past tour o'cllick, Henry Petty, one of the workmen employed at the King's Palace, fell from a scaffold upwards of twenty feet high. He wasinunediately conveyed to the Westminster Hospital, where he expired in about a quarter of an hour. No person, we believe , saw him fall, the chief part of the workmen beitig a bsent, it being their watering time. On their re turn to work, they found their companion lying at the bottom of the scaffold, in the most dreadful agonies. The unfortunate man has left a wife and one child. ACCIDENT.--Oil Wednesday last, Jonathan Ryder, a boy 13 years of age, son of Mr. Ryder, of Hunslet, was proceeding on horseback towards the upper end of ilaigh Patk Race Course (without the rails), before the commencement of one of the races, when six Gentlemen abreast, riding in an opposite direction, came ht contact with him. The young man's horse, in consequence, was thrown down, and bad his shoulder put out. Ryder himself was rode over, and received so much injury that be survived but a few moments, although surgical aid vasiimniediarety procured. PARR was strongly adverse to quackery in educa tion. Old Dr. BUSBY, he observed, had a surprising faculty of bringing boys forward in a short space of time, whilst he was master of Westminster School.— But it was not by short cuts, but through the old established highway of learn' ng.

Yesterday Jamey Gregory, a watchman, of Ffishopsyste Ward, charged a man named Clarice Mud, who appeared at the bar in an undress by far too cool to suspect him of having, at thi hour stated in the watchman's charge. committed the pranks complained of.— The watchman, being duly sworn, stated io the most circumstan tial manner that tfie prisoner, about a quarter before two on Sunday morning, there or thereabouts, had come up to him as he waa com fortably smoking his tau &um, (anglici—fragtnent of a pipe) in ids shelter, and snatched at it in a manner that was quoit ovinteel ; with that, said the watcbmaa, I up, and all him, wuat are you up wksays I? and he made nu manner of a reply at ail, begging your Hssour's pardon; only says he, what need you care? klekaase,says 11, Weeny boaiona to and whereupon be upped with his La and sat Masi au!, ;aid only I tiJr a 'mold of him, he'd be there still , barring ire *holt hid left hips.

The Lose Maros'. having beard from another witness something almost confirmatory of Gregory story, ordered the prisoner to find bail. Oh ! asked Hunt (the prisoner) can't I settle it with him ? No, indeed, said the LORD MAYOR; I shall never suffer charges made by watchmen to be arranged for money. If their object in making charges be to obtain money for hushing them up. I shall dis appoint them ; and if they do not choose to prosecute, they shall be without any recompence. The prisoner and his accuser were evidently dismayed alike at this decision. and the former was removed in custody, followed by his antagonist, whispering words of consolatiou. GUILDHALL. The City watch had $ bard time of It between Saturday sun down and its rising on Monday morning; for within that space they captured no less than three dozen and odd felons, drunkards, misdemeanants, and simple dimrderlies, In the western half of the City alone, not to mention th , ise captured In the more disorderly eastern half, and carried to their account before the Loan MATOL. The three dozen and odd were brought before Mr. Alderman WAITHLAII, at the Justice Room, Guildhall; and the following are a few of the most weighty charges: Mr. Edward Humphries, a tall, thin, elderly, in a snit of rusty black, was charged with haying wantonly demolished a transparent sten and path-bowl, the property of a publican in lanig-faire. In Miltdellente be pleaded, firstly, that he was very lame ; secondly, diatbeitras very tipsy ; thirdly and lastly, that he was a %Velshman ! The publican e.timated his transparent sun and punchbowl at fifteen shillings; and the defendant having undertaken to pay that sum, he was discharged. Ahn Barnard and James TANWPON. a couple of stout young Irish men in new blue coats and white continuations, were charged with having assaulted a kw-stationer, living hi Chancery-lane —"• I was walking along Holborn with my. wife ander my arm," said the complainant, when these two Gentlemen came up and collared me, and tore my shirt ; but as I find they are hard-working men, and very sorry, I don't wish to hurt them.' It appeared by the evidence of t►eir friends, that they were but recently imported from 'Cork, and lad transgressed in sheer Igno rance of the usages of this country.—Fur themselves they pleaded penitence; and they were discharged, with an adm•mitioo to go back to Cork as soon as possible. John Cannata/tam was charged by Mr. Dennis O'Keefe,a watch man of St. Andrew's, with having been "bogey drunk" and" er trainely rebellious." " Plate sure Honour," said Mr. Dennis O'Keefe, " Sunday mornin, hard upon four, he was bastely drunk at the earner of Field lane, an' bekase it was eneself .ortheed him en out of that, he thritten'd to bate me, if I wouldn't let him alone ; so I tuck him of to the watches." John Cunningbana denied that be was drunk at all—he was " sober as a Judge," he said ; and was ouly speaking to a friend whom he accidentally met, when Mr. Dennis O'Keefe peremptorily ordered him to move sus out of that. " Mee yore Honour," said Mr. Dennis O'Keefe, " I've said nothing to ye, worth sinking of; but t'other watchman's here to the tore, and he'll make it all clear to lure Honour!" Tother watchman said—" Dennis O'Keefe toukl me the nun was raisin a &ernes upon the street ; so we tuck him to the watches, bekase be thought not to go in if we wouldn't bring him in forcible." And as this evidence unfolded the matter, instead of making it all clear, the prisoner was discharged. Mr. Timothy M'Curtat and Mr. Bartholomew O'Toole were found fighting with each other in Shoe-lane, on Sunday afternoon ; and as they would not be peaceable they were locked up, 'ln their defence they admitted having thumped each other a bit. " But," said Mr: Timothy WCatty," I've no call to Pat O'Toole ;" and Mr. Bartholomew O'Toole declared he bad no charge to. Tam Carty ;"..ad so they were both discharged, with an admoni tion t►at a repaid's' of such conduct would lead them to she :macho& MARY-LA-BONNR. - _ _ Yesterday Andrew Nowau, a young man, was charged with stealing a quantity 4 wearing appatet, a fowling piece, /cc. from a cottage belonging to the Grand Junction Company's engirte-house, at Paddiogton. It appeared by the evidence of Mrs. liosina Gin. gell and others, that on Sunday morning, between 11 and 12 o'clock, the prisoner got into Mrs. Gingen's bedroom by the window, and took the property from thance,with which be endeavoured to escape, but in attempting to get over some pales, he fell backwards . with the bundle, and was apprehended by Thomas Alexander, who had watched his actions from a window at No. 5, Cooduit.place. He was committed to Nevegate for trial. A lad named Wm. Mar* was charged with stealinga copper coal scuttle and other things, the property of William Brummell, Esq. and fully committed. He was Wand a little before six yesterday morning in the area of that Gentleman's house, in Connaught. terrace, by the watchman, with the coal scuttle tied in a handker chief, and some shoe brushes at his feet, and a bottle of blacking in his pocket. The prisoner said his cap fell down the area, and he went after ft. Mr. Itawitsison observed, that his cap could not tie up the scuttle, nor put the blacking in his pocket, therefore his case must go before a Jury. A shoemaker was charged with aruelty towards Matthew Clark, his apprentice. Mrs. Jane Gillman, who has lodged in the same house five years, stated, that although the boy earns for him from 121. to 15s. a week by boot closing, his master compels him to sit up every Saturday during the whole night to wash his linen and scour the rooms. He sohabited with the boy's mother after his father's death, and has three children by her. She died in October, and since that time she has had occasion frequently to interfere when she heard the boy , scream murder. The prisoner was in the habit of coming home intoxicated in the middle of the night, and then he dragged the boy' out of the bed, and beat and kicked him most unmercifolly, the marks of which still remain. She (Mrs. Gillman) did not know, until after her death, that the prisoner was not married to the boy's mother. Evidence of cruelty was given by Other witnesses, and Mr. Raw. Lissom held him to bail i■ 504 and two sureties of 2.51. each, for the parish of St. Pancras to prosecute. The prisoner not being provided with bail was committed, and the boy was taken to the workhouse. UNION-MALL. Yesterday, two unfortunate-looking Italians, named Guiseppe Velluti and Giovanni Alcantari, who have just arrived In this coon try from a small town to :he east of Leghorn, were brought up in custody by Dickenson, a constable of Camberwell, who charged them with exhibiting a species of bird that annoyed the public. The constable stated, that it was at the particular request of the inhabitants of Camberwell he apprehended the defendants that morning in the pariah ; one of them played a hand-organ, while his companion was employed in exhibiting a large bird which he (the constable) did not know the name of, with eyes as large as saucers. The women particularly were very much alarmed at the sight of so disgusting an object, and be therefore brought bird, owners, music, and all, before the Magistrate, in order that he might dispose of the lot as he sh..uld deem fit. Mr. Cuaataaas having expressed a wish to have a sight of a bird which was described as of so foebidding an aspect, the Italian im mediately wishing from his shoulders a box, which on being placed on the floor, out jumped a very fine buzzard, that began to caper about the office highly delighted, while its master hummed over a waltz, with which it seemed well acquainted, and to which it kept time by the flapping of its wings. " Well," said the Magistrate, addressing the constable,'' what do you want me to do with these poor fellows ? What charge have you to make against them? I cannot see, for my part, that there la any thing hideous in the appearance of the bird." Dickenson—Your Worship, look what a pair of eyes he has got. Why, if a Lady in the family way happened to get a sight of such a ferocious-looking bird, there's no knowing what might be the coo sequences. Her offspring might be brought into the world with a pair of saucer eyes, and a hook nose, enough to frighten Old Nick himself. I think, your Worship, added the constable, that the de fendants were committing acts of vagrancy in exhibiting such a frightful bird in the public highwass. Mr. Cuansuar-I repeat that I cannot distinguish any thing re. !oohing In the eshlbition of such a bird; he has se beautiful a p-ir l of eyes as I ever 311 M. I certainly shall an detain them poor men. The Magistrate then told the defendants they were discharged ; Ivan which the buzzard, Is if gifted with knowledge, sapped his wings with exaltation, and making a spring of tiselloor wasperebrd out hie master's bead in a moment, in which position it was conveyed out of the once, to the no small amusement of the auditory. TOWN-HALL _ _ _ A sprightly young woman, the wife of a supereatgo, charged h er husband, a sedate portly man, who attended by summons, with bear ing her unmercifully. The Lady commenced the history of her misfortunes, by stating, with much flippancy, that after a few months' trial of a marrird hfe,she was forces by her husband tonecompany trim to Rio Janeiro. His behaviour to her there was rode and brutish, but beca me s o shamefully bad on their arrival out, that their acqu a i ntance cried shame upon it, and paid her passage back. She iu c onsequence re: turned to England without him, and non lived under th e roof and protection of a Gentleman who loved ber dearly. (Th e m et h ane looked at the fair bloat ian with astonishmeotmhich increa se d al a l t ! proceeded).

The Lady having concluded this modest account of herself, the Magistrate (Aid. J. J. Sat. ro) transferred his attentions from her to her busband,whomith a look of mingled reproach and scorn directed to big frail rib, observed, it was unnecessary for him to take up the Magistrate's time after what had been heard, further than Was neces. sary to assure,hisa,that the account she had given of his brutalitywas a maertionention to serve her own purposes, as no man could treat a woman with more tenderness than he had her be bad the misfortune teaser Ma wife—a misfortune alike destructive of his peace of mind and property; for, instead of forcing her against her inclinations to accompaoy him abroad, he offered her 50s. a week to remain at ban with bet Mauve,, but go she would to Rio, where she destroy ed Me brightest prospects a man could have, by loping with a stran ger.
