~} LAW INTELLIGENCE. .GOV=T OF CHAN.CERY, Aran. 14. - MANORS V. Milt. . Mr. AGAR (With whom was Mr. GIRDSI3IIOIII4 jun.) moved to have an injunction, which had been granted in this case, dissolved, and an order which had been made, for a commission to examine witnesses abroad, discharged. The defendant in this suit had been en gaged by the Potosi Mining Company, of which the plaintiff was a member, to superintend the operations of their concern, under the directions of General Pa, mission, at a salary of 1,5001. per annum. He embarked on board a ship provided by the Company, and on his arrival at Arica, the port to which the ship was bound, it was discovered that there were no roads by which the , machinery sent out by the Company could be trans. ported to the mines. They were carried, therefore, by mules through a circuitous route, and Mr. Fryer, acting under the orders he had received, remained at Arica,' during which time he received from Gen. Paroissien, as the Company's Agent, two bills to the amount of up wards of 2,0001. on account. At the end of two years he returned to England, and on requesting payment of the balance of salary, which bad been agreed on, and the expenses , be had been put to, amounting, toge ther with the bills, to 4,0001. his claim was wholly rejected, in consequence of which he brought his ac tion. The present plaintiff, who was the defendant at law, filed a bill against him in this Court, in which be alleged tint Mr. Fryer bad neglected the duty he had, sandertaken,• and that the failme of the concerts was at tributable to him ; that he had remained at Arica in stead of proceeding to Potosi, and that he bad possessed . himself of sufficient property belonging to the concern • to pay all that they had ever owed Wm. Upon the defendant's answer, which denied these charges, and ii.sisted that he had done all in his power to effect the objects of the company, the present motion was made. The Counsel contended, that unless the money claimed by the plaintiff, and a large portion of which, as he had received bills from General Paroissien, who was the acc,edited agent of the company, was an ascertained and settled account, was first brought into Court, the Commission ought not to be directed. The LORD CHANCILLOR said he could not concur in that doctrine. The transactions which formed the greater part of the defendant's case had taken place in South Ametica. It was possible—he did not say that there was any thing to apply that possibility to this case—but irv..as probable that the bills might have been • given by collusion between General Paroissien and the defendant. lt.was clearly a case in which the plaintiff had a right to a commission, and. his Lordship thought, without paying the money into Court. Mr. &HIDER, for the plaintiff, said he had been en. gaged in all the cases arising out of transactions similar to this, and he could assure the Court that the money had never been ordered to be paid in as a condition precedent tbe granting the commission. The LORD CHANCELLOR said, he was so clearly of that opinion, that he would not trouble the plaintiff's Counsel to go on, and dismissed the motion with costs. OLD BAILEY SESSIONS, APRIL 1 OLD COURT. FORGERY.

Mr. Georgp Barclay proved that the cheque was hot in the handwridog of any one belonging to their firm authorised to draw cheques. Several clerks in the Bank of England were ex amined, to eshiblish the necessary legal proof of the notes being paid. Williailtßrakewell was a publican at Horton ; had known, die prisoner for some time; he lived in the teghbourhood ; witness gave the prisoner, some time, abourChristmes, change for two c.f the 201. notes now proalated ; witness's son was present, and wrote the prisoner's name upon them; he went with Mr. Cope, the Marshalman , to Gloucester - street , where the spri. soak, resided.

D Forrester, the officer, who accompanied the last witness, searched the prisoner's lodgings. There was a chest of drawers in the front room, in which be found a blank chequebook of Sir William Curtis and Co. The one now produced was the same. Blakesley recalled—The prisoner never kept cash at.the banking-house of Curtis and Co. Bankers never gave cheque booki only to 0 eir customers. Sophia Isaacson lives at Canton-place. Corumeicial road. There was no other person in that place that has lodgers. There was po person ache name of Charles Wilson:l94log there in lloveraber last. Horatio Hardy, the superintendent of the Jemmies, Cofee-house, stated thit •be knew nearly the Cap: to ns of the East India ships, bat did not know anyi Capt. Seillev.

Edward Osborne. _ On the part of the prosecution, an application was made to put off the trial, on the, ground of the absence of a material witness, who, it was alleged, was kept out. of the way by the prisoner's friends. The application was granted, and the prisoner remanded until the next 'Sessions. MANSLAVOMITIILANIU Hales, aged 2S, was in. dieted for killing and slaying James Harris. Maria Harris, a daughter of the deceased, stated that on the 10th of March, about ten o'clock in the evening, the prisoner, who lodged in her father's house, was in the room of another lodger, and she was also present. The prisoner's mother, who•cohatnted with her father, came up stairs, and witness on seeing her said, here she comes, grudsbling as usual. The deceased afterwards came home, and went up to his own room, and she soon afterwards beard some china broke ; upon which she said to. prisoner, what is all that, I will go up stairs and see; and _they Went .up to her father's room together. Oa entering the room they found the whole place in confusion, and the stove-grate wrenched from its proper place. The prisoner's mother and the deceased were quarrelling, and the prisoner took the Eimer op stairs. The deceased followed, and said that neither should remain in his house any longer, and that he would send them both to the watchhouse , and at the same time tent a boy for the watchman. The prisoner then caught hold of wit ness by the bait, and threw her dole. She screamed out, and the deceased came out of his room with an open razor in his hand, and said he could not bear such a di,. turbance, and that he would cut his own throat. Wit. ness said, Father, for Goo's sake don't think of such a thing—give me the razor; and the deceased then gave it to her. The prisoner then picked up a piece of wood that lay on the floor, and deceasid asked him what helms; going to do with it—.whether he was going to kill him? to which he made a vulgar reply,and immediately struck him with the piece td wood on the side of the bead. Deceased fell immediately film the effects of, the blow, and the prisoner, then ran down stairs. The prisoner must have seen her take the razor from the deceased before he struck him. Witness asked the prisoner why he struck her father? to which hi replied, it served him right, he had no business to come up to me with a fazor; her father walked dower stairs and kid himself on the bed ; the prisoner's mother went to him and ap plied some oil to the wound on his head. Deceased' afterwards became insensible, pod died Oa the folloisint day io the hospital. Cross.examined by Mr. C. Thatt.tru—The parties had been out all day and got drunk together. The de ceased cohabited with her mother, and she with the prisoner; they all drank hin together after the deceased was struck. Never told any one the deceased had fallen dosn and cut his head open. k Sarah Hales, the prisoner's mother, confirmed part of the above evidence, and added, that at the time the prisoner snuck the deceased, the latter was advancing towards her with a razor, declaring he would cut her throat. Mr. Charles Burnett, a surgeon, described the nature of the injuries the deceased had received, and which he attributed to a blow on the head. Joseph HAnsmond, an officer, proved the apprehen sion of the prisoner, who said he was sorry he had struck the deceased, and that he did not intend to kill him. The prisoner in defence said, be left his case in the bands of his Camel. The Rev:more _summed op 'the evidence, and the Jory returned a verdict of Not Uailty. SUMMARY.

Mr. AIIOLPHUI stated the case for the prosecution.— The prosecutors u ere anomie* in extensive practice, sad the pi isener their confidential cles k. They bad an estate to transfer to a client, and in order to complete the conveyance, it was necessary to levy a fine, and the prisoner, who, as their clerk, was in the habit of having cash of theirs in his hands, was directed to pay the fees due at t'..c different public offices on levying sash fine.

Payne," which said stun was never paid by him; and in order to show the imamate* of she case to the prosecutors, he would only stile, that had either of the parties to the conveyance died before this omission on his pair bad been discovered, the evil could not have been remedied, and the whole of the pro• ceedings up to that time rendered nugatory.
