About 11 o'clock the streets are thronged with freeholders, the court and booths crowded, the partizans anxious, the examining agents clamorous, and the din of oaths, questions, wrangles, interruptions, shouts, &c. re sounding even to the opposite banks of the river Suir. Suddenly the Sound of carriages is heard— the cries of thousands follow ; several hundreds of men; women, and boys are seen to run at full speed to the great place in front of the inns and hotels, followed by a grand and imposing procession of coaches, chaises, and various vehicles, bearing free holders in the interest of MATIIIIW and PRITTIE, from the distant pans of this extensive county. — Each coach is decorated with boughs of oak, syca more, scc. ; the heads of all the'horses are similarly adorned ; bugles and French horns are sounded by the outside passengers. Thus, about 1(.0 men enter itown each morning by the Cashel road, followed by about 200 horsemen and 500 pedestrians, , Arrived at this destination, the entire force conies-to a grand halt. All the neighbouring windows are stuck thick with company—elegant Ladies, fashionable youths, the gay and the grave, quakers and soldiers, the po. litician and the fiibble—all partake of the pleasure, all own the zealous emotions. In the midst of this scene, General 'MATHEW comes forth—mounts the very sufnmit of the largest coach, waves his hand,. and becomes uncovered . Instantly the mu s i c ce ases, the din is hushed, the green boughs are lowered, all' hats are off ; the palpitating Ladies sthile sweetly, and " the air, a chartered libertine, is still." The General, from this lofty rostrum, sends forth Sten torian notes to the wondering populace—he dOells forcibly upon every topic suited to an independent meeting in IrOund.

The above parties are Anomie§ at Bristol, and judgment was this day given by the MASTIA of the ROLLS in this case, on a motion before him the 4th inst. on behalf of the defendant to supptess the de positions, of Mr. Bengough and Mrs. Andrews sen. herein (taken de hens me, for the plaintiff, on account of ill, health) for irregularity ; supported by the nffi davits of the defendant and his clerk, and of his agent, and Mr. Samuel Skegg, agent to his clerk, in Court ; and opposed by that of Mr. J. A. Berry, the agent of the plaintiff's clerk in Court, when his Honour, after hearing Counsel on both side•, said he should look into the affidavits before giving his judgment thereon, and this day pronounced it against the mo tion ; expressing, that the question was one of fact and not of practice that he had to decide, and that the affidavits in support of the motion were of themselves insufficient,*. even if nothing had been sworn in oppo sition thereto ; but that the affidavit of Mr. Berry was decisive to shew that he had not only pursued the or dinary course to obtain Commissioners names on the part of the defendant, but had repeatedly made per sonal application for the same before sealing the Commission, and had been as repeatedly infoimedby Mr. Skegg thvt he had not any names' or instructions to join iii Commission. COURT OF NINO'S MINCH, NMI!. BURGH OP PLYSIOUTH--.-QUO WARRANTCI6 Mr. Seijeant LENS applied for a rule to shew cause why an intormation, in the nature of a quo warrant°, should not be directed to George Bellamy, Doctor of Physic, tilling on him to state, on what authority he claimed the right of exercising the office of one of the Common Councilmen of the Burgh of Plymouth? By a statute of the 18th of Henry VI. three places therein named were erected into a burgh, called the Burgh of Plymouth. To the ,Mayor and Common -alty was given the power of making Burgesses; and • the Mayor and 12 Chief Burgesses, or Aldermen, were to call in to them 24 free inhabitants, who were in fact to be the Common Council of the Burgh.— The question teas, if Dr. Bellamy was one of those 24 Common Councilmen, known sornetimes by the appellation of " the twenty-four," sometimes by that of " the 24 Common' Councilmen," and sometimes by that of " the Common Councilmen ?" The affi davits in support of the present application s made by three of the chief Burgesses, Mr. Kneider, Mr. Dun stanville, and an ,, ther, stated, that when a vacancy at any time occurred in the Common Council, it had always been the practice to fill it up by the Mayor and the 12 Chief Burgesses, from out of the flee in habitants, 66 calling to them," as the words bore, 66 21 of the flee tnhabitants." Since the year 18011, there had no doubt been Some few instances in which the Cornaionalty had elected along with the Mayor and Chief Burgesses ; but, up to that date the affida vits bore, that the exercise of the right of electing had always been confined to the Mayor mid Chief Burgesses. Whenever at any time the Commonalty interfered in the election of the 24 free inhabitants, the persons on whose behalf the present application was made uniformly protested against such right of election. In the present year there were two vacan cies to supply in the number of the 24 Common Councilmen of the Burgh; there were only Eve of the Chief Burgesses present, beside the Mayor and the Commonalty, insisting on their right to elect along with the Mayor and Chief Burgesses, elected Dr. Bellamy said Dr. Loom to the two vacancies. - The three gentlenten fa. present ap. 4ffication was trade Ofoiesfetraiainiethe right of too, Commonalty to elect Common Councilmen. They had made it a rule never to join in any'elecUon where the Commonalty h a d i nter fered, they the-efore en y protested on this occasion against the Commonalty's right to elect; but in spite of their protests the elec. tions of Dr. Bellamy and of Dr. Lockyer took place. Lord ELLENisonotton asked, had the turgh of Plymouth a prescriptive Corporate rightt- • Mr. Serjeant Lana sail he rather behoved tsot. It was an ancient Corporation. Lord ELLENisonouou asked, WAS airs no mode ok election prescribed in the charter ? , Mr. Serjeant LENS said thete was not. - Mr. Justice LE BLANC asked, was Dr. Lockyer comprehended in the present rule along with Dr. Bellamy ? Mr. La .s sarcl, he was not moved against at pri.. sent.—Rule granted. ROBERTSON, YOUNG, RTC. v. GLASS& Mr. MARRYATT chewed cause against a Rule ola• tamed by Mr. Campbell for having the defendant, who had been arrested for a debt to the Amount of /00,000, discharged out of custody on 61ing com mon bail. The present defendant, Mr. Glasse, was a partner of Hunters, Rennie, and Co. who were ebtors to the plaintiffs to the amount of 440,000. ne of the partners of this Company resided in Scot land, and of course was 'beyond the jut isdietion of the law of this country. • Against the other three in dividual partners commissions of bankrupt had been talcsa ow. The plaintiffs had proved their debt un. des Rennie's commission, and in consequence of having done so, the present application on the part 4 . 11 Mr. Glasse, another of the partners, and under whose separate commission the plaintiffs had not pro. ved, wai made, on the ground, that having proved their debt under t he commission against one of their debtors, they must thereby be held- to have - .•,, mid* *Or option , and be precluded from taking the Am% soli of any of the other co-obligants in this debt.— This, Mr. Marryatt contended, was not, and could I not be the fair construction or intention of the Act of Parliament. Supposing that the -plaintiffs were ' holders of a bill of exchange having the names of twenty different indorsers upon it, could it he conten ded, because they had claimed for the amount on the estates of nineteen of them, that they were there by prevented frcrn taking the person of the twen tieth ? The point seemed to the Learned Counsetto be so plain, that he did not think he had occasion to argue it farther. Mr. CAMPBELL had no doubt he should be able to satisfy their Lordships that he was entitled to have the present rule made absolute. The firma of Hun ters, Rennie, and Co. of which the defendant was a partner, consisted of four co partners, Alexander Hunter, whoreside t i in Send and,. Duncan Hunter, Robert Rennie, and J. W. Glasse, all of whom resi ded in this country: From the circurhstance of Alex ander Hunter residing out of the jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery, and not having committed an t act of-bankruptcy, a joint commi ss ion c ould not be 'sued out against the whole four co-partners as a comi. pany, but separate commissions were sued out against the three,,as partners of H unfits, Rennie, and Co. From the great expence and trouble attendant on the work ing, as it is called, of three severalcommissions,fordis tributing the effects of one estate, a petition*as pre sented to the Lord Chancellor, praying that the joint creditors might be allowed to prove under the sepa- rate commission against Mr. Rennie, and that the joint funds should be distributed among the joint creditors Under that commission. The forfhet part of the prayer of this petition the Lord Chancellor had granted, by allowing the plot creditors to prove their debts under Mr. Rennie's cotrirdission ; but as co the remaining part of the prayer of the petition, his Lordship postponed it till after the choice of ae. signees of the other estates. The debt due to the plain tiff was a Joint debt, and as such, the plaintiff; Mr. Robertson, who was assignee on the estate of the de fendant, had proved it under Mr. Rennie's commission. This being the case, and the whole joint estate bein; to oe distributed under the Commission taken oit against Mr. Rennie individually, Mr. Cartiphell Tuba mated, that a proof under Mr. Rerloies commission was, in such circumstances, tantamount to a proof under the commission against the Defendant himself. It this was not so, the greatest injustice *auk be done to the Defendant in this cdse, and the obi.ct of the Act of Piul'ament would be completely disap: I pointed, which provided that a creditor should only have an option of proving undet the commission of Bankrupt, or of taking the person of his debtor. If he once embraced the option of the former, then all right to avail himself of the latter was totally lost to him: Here,' however; if the Plaintiff was to be al ' lowed is keep the person of the Defendant, while, at the same time, having proved his joint debt under Mr. Rennie's commission, under which the joint estate of the Defendant, and of his oche partners, was to be distributed ; not only would he, in effect, havil claimed under the Defendant's commission, and might even receive dividends from 'the Defendant's joint property, while at the same time he availed himself of-the inconsistent and contradictory right of keeping ,his person in custody. • . Lord ELLENBoROUGH said the plknent,application aid not fall under the words of the Act. There was here no proof under the commission against the Defendant, and the Court could not et tend the word* of the Acts . Mr. CAMPBELL said, the object of the Act of Par liament evidently was, that the creditor should net have the property of the bankrupt under his sornmis‘ sion, and his per*on at .the same time. Lord EL•LIiNIoROVOM said,. the meaning of the Act, so far as he could collect it from the words, was, that the' creditor should not prove under the • commission against the Bankrupt, and h'at'e his pet son at the same time. Mr. CAMPBZLL again submitted that then was a (very hard case, and a case of great importance. Hese all the property of the present Defendant was to be distributed under a COMmissiem under Ili& the Plaintiff had proved this very debt against that Defendant, and yet sought to keep his person also: ' Mr. Justice Ls BLANC said, the Lord Cbitnceller had not yet decided that the joint funds wllre to fta distributed under the separate coMMimicni against Mr. Rennie. When his Lordship should seeeekt, the , _ Defendant's .ease would be materially amps IS" the better.—ltale diatbarged. ••••• • t).
