J LAW 7, T.rdENCE: U. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Wansanwsva, NAT Sittings in Banco. NEAPOLITAN LOA N ROTHSCHILD V. H INNING& The Court gave jitdgment to-day upon the impor tant question involved in this case, which was brought before them by a writ of error; for the purpose of having the decision of the Court of Common Pleas re versed.lt will be recollected that it was an action brought by Mr. Hennings against Mr. Rothschild, the plaintiff in error, to recover back deposits paid on some Neapo litan bonds, part of a loan for which Mr. Rothschild was the contractor. The Jury returned a verdict for Mr. Hennings, and the Court of Common Pleas, sitting in banco, afterwards refused to disturb that verdict. Mr. Rothschild then brought the case before the Court of King's Bench where it was argued at considerable length. Lord TENTERDEN, gifting judgment to-day, said that it would be unnecessary for him to state at length the reasons which induced the Court to reverse the de. cision of the Court of Common Pleas, as the case came entirely within the rule laid down by Sir John Leach, in Dee v. Rothschild. reported in 1 Simon and Stewart, page 509. It was there down, that as the plaintiff had himself. in the fir instance, violated his contract with Mr. Rothschild, he had no right to require, consequently. either that Mr. Rothschild should return the deposits or specifically perform the contract. That case was exactly similar to the present.—Judgment of the Court below reversed. GRIMLY., LIG. V. ATKINS AND /NOTRE& The question in this case came before the Court upon a special case, after a verdict in favour of the defendant., The plaintiff, Mr. Charles Greville, who was Colonial Secretary of the island of Tobago, bad, in the year 1822, birgained with a Gentleman of the name of Thomas Bateman Manning for the sale so. him of the deputa tion of his ( the plaintiff's) office; and a bond was executed by Mr. Manning, in consideration of such sale, conditioned for the payment to the p laintiff of 4501 per annum. by half yearly instalments, on the lit of February and the Ist of August in each year. By the recital in the condition of the bond, it ap peared that the agreement between the parties was, that the 4501. should be paid out of the fees and emoluments of the office; but the reservation of that annual sum in the condition of the bond was gene ral ; and the question now was. whether or not the bond was void under the Act of the 49th Geo. C. 126 ? The action was brought against the defendants as the executors of Mr. Manning ; and at the trial parole evidence was given to show that the real understanding between the parties at the time the contract for the salt of the deputation was entered into was, that the annual sum of '4501. should be payable absolutely, notwith standing the recital in the bond that it was to be payable oat of the fees and emoluments of the office. Mr. PLATT, for the plaintiff, now argued that the bond was valid. The question. he observed, turned upon the construction of the Acts of the Sth and 6th of Edward VI. e. 16, and the 49th Geo. 111. c. 126. By the second section of the first of those Acts it uas enacted, " that if any person should bargain or sell any office, or the deputation of any office, or receive any money, fee, reward, or other profit. directly or indirectly. or take any promise, agreement, covetsant, bond, or any assurance, to receive any money, lee. reward, or other. profit, directly or indirectly, for any office, or the depute tints of any office, or to the intent that any person should have,• xerc ise, or enjoy any office,or the deputation of any office, which office should in any wise touch or Concern. . the administration or execution of justice, such person should not only lose and forfeit all the tight, interest, and estate which he should have of, in, nr to any such office or deputation, or of, in. or to the gilt or nomina tion of such office or deputation, but should also be adjudged a disabled, person in the , law to have, occupy, or enjoy such office or deputation; and that all and every such bargains, sales, promises, bonds, agree ments, covenant+, and assurances - should be void." The other Act. that of the 49th George 111. c. 126. ex tended the provisions of the Act of Edward VI. to all offices in the gift of the Crown, or appointed by the Clown, and all commissions civil. naval, or mili tary. + By the special case it was found that the office in question was an office in the gift of the Crown, but that it was not an office " touching or concerning the administration or execution of justice." It was, however, now to be contended on the part of the de fendants, that the bond was void, as being a sale of the deputation, or as containing an illegal reservation of the profits. He (Mr. Platt) however, should submit that the recital of the bond showed that the agreement be tween the parties was sot for the payment of a sum certain, but for payment of an annual sum out of the , fees and emoluments of the office. The plaintiff bad the power, by the terms of his appointment to the situation of Colonial Secretary, to appoint a deputy ; and the tenth section of the 49th of . George 111. cap. 126, expressly provided "that nothing therein contained should extend to the making void of any • deputation to an office in any case in which it was law. fel to appoint a deputy, or of any agreement, contract, bond, or assurance lawfully made in respect of any allowance, salary, or payment made, or agreed to be made, by or to the principal or deputy respectively. out of the fees or profits of such office." It was true, that by the evidence given at the trial it appeared that the intention of the parties was to reserve the payment of an annual sum certain; but be (the Learned Counsel) cott l tended that the agreemepT, whatever it might have been, was consummated by the bond, and that the terms of that agreement could hot be controlled by any facts given in evidence by parole on the trial. The Couar said, he Reed not be troubled. Looking at the bobil itself, there seemed to be ample ground to believe that the recital in the bond, that tie annual sum was to be paid . out of the fees and emoluments of the office, yks not in accordance with the real intention of the patties. but was a mere colour to a transaction which was in its nature illegal. The defendants contended that the real bargain was to make the 4501. payable at all events; and by the condition of the bond the instal lments were to be paid half yearly, in 4"ebruary and Atigust. at the banking house of Mews. Ikerrip, Farquhar. and Co. so that the instalments would be come due before the fees and emoluments of the office could be received. This showed - that it could Dot have been intended to pay the 4501. out of the profits of the office. The present casefurnithed an exceptioo to OA general rule by whicb parole evidence could not be Osten in explanation of, or in contradictioo to, a writ. Len. instrument; and here it had been properly lelt to the Jury, upon the parole testimony adduced at the trial, to say what the seal nature of the transacting be• two= the parties was: The Jury bad fotuul that the original agreement was to pay an annual sum certain for the deputation of the office, and the condition of the bond. being elippltne for the payment of the 4.501. the, csntrt quid not stay. the condition was to be restrained, b.l". Wital. They, wee therefore of opinion that the Mind. was toicl 4 and that the defendants were entitled to judemkoptpoo such of the pleas as, alteged that thsi ( 41 4 "lA/Was liak ge.9OC9 1 4e aiktfg tilte Cteseti ? l , Judgment tor the detendints. 1 GLASGOW, MAT 21.

The rule in this case for amending the suggestion on the roll, for the purpose of having the cause tried in the county of Somerset instead of Devon, was made abso lute, Sir James Scariest consenting, on the part of the defendant, to the payment of all such additional costa as the lessor of the plaint.ff might incur by taking the witnesses to Bridgewater instead of Eimer. EX PARTE VAN MITCHELL. Mr. BRODRICK moved for a writ of Habeas Corpus , directed to the keeper of Newgat e, t o brin g u p the body of Sidney Job Van Butchell, who had been committed to his custody, charged with the manslaughter of oie William Archer. The object of the application was to have the party admitted to bail. The COURT. without bearing the whole of the alLia. tit, granted the writ. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, MAT st. KINGSTON AND ANOTHER O. HARGREAVIIS. This was an action brought by the assignees of a bank rupt, to recover back a sum of money paid to the de fendant by the bankrupt after be had committed an act of bankruptcy, but before the commission issued. The act of.baakruptcy was committed in June, 1822. the money was paid in August following, and the commis• sion was issued in May, 1828. It was contended, on behalf of the defendant, that the action did not lie, as the payment was rendered valid by the 82d section of the last Bankrupt Act, which directed that all payments really and bone fide made, or which sbOuld thereafter be made, by any bankrupt before the date of the issuing of the Commission, it those payments were not such as amounted to a fredulent preference, should be deemed valid. To this the plaintiffs objected, that the transac • tion in question having taken place before the passing of this Act, the section did not apply ; or in other' words, that it was merely a prospective and not a retrospective enactment. A verdict was found for the plaintiffs, with • leave from the Learned Judge to move to set it aside, and enter a nonsnit. Mr. Sergeant TADDY having obtained a role nisi for a nonsuit, Mr. Sergeant Wane showed cause against the role, and argued that the Act was merely prospective. Mr. Sergeant TADDY replied, and in support of the Rule contended, that the Act was intended to have a retrospective effect. The COURT were of opinion that this section should receive a retrospective construction, and consequently that the action was not maintainable.—Rule absclute. FOWLER V. CHATTZRTON. The question in this case is also one upon the con struction of an Act of Parliament; namely, whether or not the last Act, commonly called " Lord Tenterden's Ad,* requiring promises which are given in evidence to take a debt out of the statute of limitations, to be in' %riling. includes promises made before the Act came l into operation? Mr. Sergeant ADAMS contended that it did, and Mr. Sergeant, MBRIMEATHER that it did net. The COURT said, that the question was at present pending before the Court of King's Bench, and they would therefore reserve their decision until they con ferred with their Learned Brethren on the subject, as it was desirable that their Lordships - should be uniform ip ' their judgments. ADMIRALTY COURT, May et. • THR MAITLAND. This was an application on behalf of a material-man (i s. a person who provides *totes or materials for thel service of the ship), calling upon the Court to direct the payment of his demand cut of the proceeds of the yes.' sel now in the registry. The circumstances of the case, are shortly these- 7 The vessel was chartered by Mr.' Ferguson; the owner, who went to Calcutta, and is now I resident there, for three voyages between England and India, to Messrs. Fraser, Living, and Co. The freighter was to supply pro,visions, and to keep the ship in repair. charging these expenses upon the height. Messrs. Davidson and Lupton supplied some ropes and provi sions for the ship; but after its return from the second' . voyage, Fraser, Living, and Co. became bankrupt. The freight was attached by the owner, in , consequence of of which the freighter was unable to discharge the claims upon him ;'whereupon actions were instituted in this Court against tl.e ship for seamen's wages, and on a bottomry bond ; the ship was subsequently wld, and out of the proceeds the wages and the bond were paid, which consequently fell upon the charterer instead a the freighter. The. Eines ADVOCATE, for the material-man, con. tended that the surplus proceeds were liable to the de mands of his client, grounding his argument upon some l eases of lot eign ships, and arguing, that as theownerin this case was resident in America, its circumstances were analogous to those t.f the cases be bad quoted. Dr. LUSUINOTON, on the part of the owner, observed, that it was a settled point that material-men could not, in ordinary cases, establish a lien on the vessel or the proceeds: there was a waggon load of authorities to that effect. The case was full of complicated transac• tions between the parties, which were only fit tor another Court to adjudicate. Sir C. lioshason said, that this claim was introduced only on an exception to the general practice and jut is diction of the Court. In the case of the American ship John, a material man was allowed' to sue the proceeds remaining in the registry ; but, it did not appear that there were any disputable claims unadjusted in that case, or that the " proceeds remaining " might not be , undaimed by the foreign owner.. In the present case, very complicated accounts were unadjusted between the parties; it was therefore a case coming within the,cau tionaly prohihitiim of Lord Stowed, in his judgment in the case cited ; and by venturing auy rash en:tell:new in such a doubtful point, he should be creating greater injury to the parties themselves than he could do them service. It was his duty, therefore, to pronounce this it wals a case in which he could not interim ; and be should direct the proceeds to be paid out to the owner He should not however give costs.

Mr. Contact having been sworn. Mr. Adolphus said, he undetsmod be complained of haring been assaulted by the defendant ea Monday last. Mr. Coilison—Yes. Mr. Adolphus—And this assault occurred in the city. Mr. Collisno—lt did. Mr. Adolphus (addressing the Alderman)-1 say you will do your duty if you call on the defendant, after this statenwnt, v. find bail to appear at the Sessions. The sureties are here ready. There is • considerable feeling existing, but it is unnecessary to enter into tie matter here. It was understood on a previous day, that the complainant was, a petty in a suit for cruelty and adultery, pending in the Kale& saint Cant, and Mr. Alderman Warrustne seemed unwilling to let the use pass off in this mysterious way. He therefore asked com pl a inant what he chatged Ur. Ituding with Complainant—With giving me a violent thrashing. Alderman—What, heat you with i flail? Complainant--I meant a seem thumping. Mr. Adolphus—When we come to plead the general issue else where, we shaU talk more at large about it. As the complainant seemed as much averse to discussion as the defendant, the Alderman disposed of the cue by taking the bail offered. Two lads, named Clunks Sneak and Henry Pike, were committed for the capital offence of stealing an end of blue woollen cloth. value Xll5, front the premises of kir. Price, a clothier in llasinghill street. They were detected by Charles lierdsadd, the Marshal man, who bad been following them through the streets nearly an hour. The premises were first reconnoitred by an accomplice,. who escaped, and who pretended to inquire if an errand-boy wu wanted. Aka Beaton and istalleCerweek were finally examined, charged with receiving some remnants of drill, which had been stolen from the premises of Mr. Painter, the hosier, at the corner of Ludgate bill. The remnants had been pledged. and the duplicates were found at the lodging of the female, in a box which Boston admitted belonged to him. The female being the sister .of a man who was . recently foreman et Mr. Palmer's, he was apprehended vu suspicion of hiving stolen the property, but there being nu direct evidence affecting him, Sir Pane L&Olilt discharged hint tat a former day. The prisoners were now committed for trial. QU EEN—SQU A Ii N Thomas Hall, an old Greenwich pensioner on crutches, was charged with marrying Sarah Smith , his first wife being alive. John Begard, of Greenwich, knew the prisoner, and was pre sent at his marriage with Ann Turner, at Greenwich Church,' about twenty years ago. Sarah Smith stated that she was married to the prisoner at Ber mondsey Church, on the sth of August. 1823. Sarah Taylor stated that she was present at the prisoner's ruse with Sarah Smith, and that his first wife was alive at the present time. The prisoner declared he had no other wife but the one in the once, but she was a bad ooe.. She bad pulled him up to Union Hall some time ego on the same charge, and Mr. Chambers dis missed it.

Damuntwe, Esqrs. with violently as tasking and beating hint. William Yarrow, a journeyman weaver, a most pitiable looking object, stated that be was in the itabit of dealing at the defendant's shop for bread, and bad long entertained a suspicion that the bread was deficient in weight. On Wednesday last be sent for a four pound loaf and a two-pound loaf, and weighed them in his own scales ; he found the four pound loaf three ounces and the two pound loaf two GIMPS deficient. He sent his boy bask with the loaves, and the defendant refused to make any allowance, and in sisted they were full weight. He then went back with the bread himself, and asked defendant to weigh it, which he did. They both weighed down by the defendant's scales. He then told the defendant that they were five ounces deficient, and asked him if his alls. weight was correct ? The defendant told him not to touch it, and said it was correct, and that be should not make any allowance. He then asked the defendant to let him have his money back again, Wt be might go to a shop where be could get his weight, but was refiNsd. He told the defendant be thought it very bard to be &NW oat of five ounces of bread, and should endeavour to seek dm tereamsese elsewhere which the defendant had refused. The iisishot then came round the counter and struck him violently on the bead and face. He also took one of the loaves up, and struck him with it, and then kicked hint out of the shop. He was so terribly bruised that several leeches were applied, the bill for which, with some medicine, amounted to ifs , which it was im possible for him to pay. He produced a certificate front Dr. Chapman, Goldamithe-place, Ilackney-road. stating that be had been seriously bruised and much injured in the bead, so is to be in capable of working). When the defendant kicked hint out of the shop several persons passing by thought he had stolen the bread, and said it served him right, until they found out the truth of it. Previous to taking out the warrant be sent his wife to the defendant to request payment for the doctor's bill; be told his wife, if she didn't get out of the shop, be would serve her the same,and pushed her out by the shoulders, she et the same time being in a very weak stare, having just recovered flow a long illness. Mr. Blows said it was a moat gross outrage,as far as the plain tiff had stated, but no doubt the defendant could rebut some portion of it.—The defendant, with great assurance, laughed at the charge, and said he never struck the plaintiff at all; and as for the scales, to be sure they bad rather the draught in his favour, and, in fact. it would not answer his purpose to sell his bread without such draught. Mt. Baum—lt is the most impudent thing I over met with for a man to keep a public shop for the sale of the very staff of life, under pretence of selling it at a reduced price, and, not contest with defrauding the public by cheating them in the weight, but when told of it by is pour man, who, by his appearance,Gue knows, you bad more Deed give him five ounces of bread than cheat him of it, you violently beat sod ill treat him.

It was first discovered by some chit. siren, who happened so be playing near the premiums they gate an instant alarm, and the parish engines were prat into immediate requisition, but the flames, based all efforts to suppress them, and continued to rage with great fury. Several of the large engines soon came up, but the building, from the inflammable nature of the stock, was nearly destroyed before they could be put into use. The shop at the time was well stored with deals, and the greatest fears were entertained for the safety of the surrounding houses.
