The plaintiff, a piano forte manufacturer, residing it Charles -street, Middlesex Hospital, brought this action against the defendant, an attorney, to mover a cont• pensation in . damages for having caused Mr. Smith to be arrested and held to bail, without any reasonable cause, for an alleged debt of 411. 10s• The pleadings were opened by Mr. Jowls, after which Mr. SCARLET? stated the case to the Jury, and called witnesses, from whose testimony it appeared that the plaiatiff had entered into partnership with a m.m name I Jaw* uhrs was a Sheriff's-officer for Surrey. Being dissatisfied with the accounts of business furn6lted 1) Jervis, the plaintiff filed a bill in equity against him, and Dickens, the present defendant, was the attorney of Jervis in that suit. During the proceeding in Chancery, a Mr. Robertson, a friend of the plaintiff, had several communications with the parties, and expressed his wil lingness to take an assignment of the debts due to the firm of Smith and Jervis, thinking such an arrangement likely to tep - minate all litigation between them. This he communicated to Mr. Dickens, Jervis's attorney, who refused to accede to the propaition unless Mr. Smith paid him the costs of defending Jervis in the Chancery suit. These were costs due from Jervis only, and not from the firm of Smith and Jervis, who were adverse parties in that suit. At the time Mr. Robertson was deliberating whether he should take an assignment of the debts due to the firm of Smith and Jervis, it became necessary to ascertain if them were any debts due from them to other persons, and the present defendant, Mr. Dickens, several times asserted that there were none. On Mr. Robertson inquiring the grnount of the costs in curred by Jervis in the equity suit, 'Dickens expressed his opinion that they would not be more than 251. or SOL It was arranged that they should be paid. Mr. Robertson discovered, when the draft of assignment or the debt was prepared, that Jervis was about to commit on act of bankruptcy, which would render the assign ment of no avail, and consequently he declined being a patty to it. On learning this, Dickens, for the first time, set up a claim of 411.105. as due to him for business done for the firm of Smith and Jervis, although he had previously denied there were any debts due from them jointly. He wrote a letter to the present plaintiff, dated the 15th Selstember, enclosing a bill, and threatening to arrest Mr.- Smith ualcss •it was discharged in a week. Mr. Smith placed.tbis letter in the hands of his solici tors, Messrs. Fisher and 'son s who appliied the defend ant, if he intended to execute his threat, they would put in an appearance if it was sent to them. Mr. Robertson, about this time, met Mr. Dickens in the street : the latter expressed his determination r , to serve the plaintiff out," and did sue out a writ against him, by virtue of which he was arrested, although Jervis, who was joined in the suit, was only served with a common process. The ( plaintiff was two hours in custody, and having found bail was liberated, and defended the action ; when the ease was referred to the Master of the Court of King's Bench, who reported that the defendant had no claim on the firm of Smith and Jervis. The present action was brought to recover compensation for the injury which the plaintiff had sustained by this arrest. The COMMON SIRJEANT, for the defendant, main tained, that unless there was a to.al absence of all pro bable cause, malice could not with propriety be inferred. It was incumbent on the plaintiff to establish affirma tively that there was no probab!e cause, and this the Learned Gentleman contended he had not done, for though the defendant might have acted under a mis taken notion, yet if he really believed there was good ground of action, the plaintiff could not recover. At all events, supposing malice to be established, the plain tiff had sustained no material injury, as the time of his being in custody was very short. The Lotto Caine Juorscz, in summing up the evidence, left It to the Jury to deeide whether, from the defendant's declaration, he must not be thought to have acted from motives of malice ? After deliberating shortly, the Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 'fa PORTER V. HORNE. The plaintiff brought this action against the defend ant, an extensive coach proprietor, to recover compen sation for a breach of contract under the following cir cumstances :—The plaintiff, being at Liverpool, con tracted with an agent in the coach-office for a passage to London for himself and daughter. It was stipulated' that the latter should travel inside during the night, and the plaintiff himself, provided there should be room. On arriving at Newcastle under-Lyme the guard re fused to permit the plaintiff's daughter or himself to en ter the coach, although there was ample room. The plaintiff referred him to the way-bill, and also to the written agreement, which he produced. The result was, that the plaintiff and his daughter, wbo was in a delicate state of health, were compelled to make their way to London •n foot. This was the plaintiffs case in substance, as stated by Mr. Guaramr, and subsequently established by the evidence of Macallister, a man em ployed by the defendant, who made the contract on the part of his master, the plaintiff's daughter, and other witnesses. Mr. &muse, briefly addressed the Jury for the defence, but called no witnesses. The Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Daniages, COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, June 27. BURFORD V. HARVEY. Mr. Coftwooo opened the pleadings, and stated that this was an anion for Wander. Mr. Serjeant WILD 6 stated the case t• the Jury They bad heard from his Learned friend what the nature of this action was. The plaintiff was an Attorney, and the defendant a Captain in the army, who had uttered certain slanderous expressions against his client, tending to affect his professional character, to such a degree as , would, be hoped, entitle him to serious damages at their hands. Their verdict must, of course, depend upon the nature and extent of the slanderous words; what these were he should leave them to gather from his evidence, and left the amount of damages with confidence in their BANKRUPTCY ENLARGED.

Some time ago he re ceived an injury from Captain Harvey's horse, on which he directed his a'torney to write a letter to the Cap tain, asking compensati-n for the injury he had sus tained; this attorney's name was Burford, who, on Rudd's giving bin) these directions, said,_" Leave the matter to me, and I will bring you through the piece." Rudd complied with this advice, and Burford had issued a writ; but before the action came on to be heard, Rudd, with Seaborne, waited on Captain Harvey, to try if he would come to a composition. This the Captain refused o do, and exrressed himself very warmly on the action being brought. He said to Rudd, I supp••se you are as great a rogue as your lawyer ; he will sell you for SI. be w ill have )ou in the lurch, just as he did that man the oth‘r day with the cow; he told hires it would suc ceed, and took the cause into court t but it failed, arid he then left him in the lut ch." Witness was rather deaf. He could not say positively that the Captain was in a passion, but that he coke very rapidly and warmly; on the subject. He never said to the defendant that he had given no authority to Burford to act as he had done, but he had certainly dropped some expressions whio :night have led the Captain to suppose he regretted having brought the action. Rudd afterwards consulted Mr. Harmer, who allowed the cause to be non•prossed, and he was consequently obliged to pay the costs. J. Seaborne also proved the slanderous words uttered by the defendant. Mr. Serjeant VAUGHAD, for the defendant, admitted the plaintiff must have a verdict, but thought one farthing damages would be sufficient to satisfy thejus tice of the case. .It was quite clear that the expressions were not used maliciously, but with the warmth natural to a man placed in such a situation. The LORD Oita/ JUSTICE summed up, and observed, that his Learned brother (Mr. Serjeant Vaughan) had very properly admitted that the plaintiff must have. a verdict ; it was for them to decide on the amount .of damages. • . The Jury, after a short deliberuion, returned a verdict fur the plaintiff—Damages 40s. costs 401. . . ILZMPSON 9. SANDIRL This was an action for money had and received... Lt appeared, that in December, 1824,,a_Joint Stock Com pany, called " The Bristol Western and Nor thern ay Company," wis established. It Val preposed to raise 16,000 shares, at 501. each. The Confpany was 'dissolved last May, and the plaintiff, finding the defend ant had not, in fact, made him' a shireholier, as . he bed not complied with the required Conditions; now brought this action to recover the money. ' The defendant not *big able to prove that the shares tiad been regularly sold, the icy found a vetlict' for the plaintiff for the 4UO guinea.. INSOLVENT DEIJORS' COURT, Jona Id: Mary Ana /Cation was opposed by Mr.olscnoweis t , on behalf of Mr. James Gill, the insolvent's s a creditor for 4151. It appeared in•evidence, eat the insolvent adminis tered to the estate and effects of Mrs. Mary March, her late mother, who, among other things, bequeathed by ber will a legacy of 1,0001. to the wife of the opposing creditor, to be paid on the day of her marriage, or when she attived al the age of 21 years. It was alleged that the insolvent had misappropiated the.money which she received in the c Tacky of administratrix : hence a bill was filed against her in the Court of Chancery. The insolvent ss as interrogated as to the manner in which she had disposed of stock vested in the 3 per cents. She stated, that in February 1824, she sold out 2001. through Mr. Biddle, and s to also sold some in or about the year 1821. She stated, moreover, that the property so disposed of was her own, as was also 811. worth of furniture, which she sold to her daughter Ca therine. She stated that she had been unable to pay Mr. Gill the 1,000 legacy; but he had been tendered 8001. which he refused to accept. . The Came COIUMSiONIM Inquired of the Learned Counsel upon which section of the Act of Parliariaent he relied. Mr. Mscoosvets replied, that he considered he had suffdent ground to proceed on account of the delay and expenses the insol vent had subjected his client to. The Otter Comausssosaa said, that the Act referred to the put ting the plaintiff in an action to vexatious expenses, by setting up a frivolous defence. Mr. Macnowati. said, be bad understood that the Court took cognizance of dilatory proceedings in the Court of Chancery, for in this case the insolvent had put in, if not false,contradictOry answers. The CHIEF COMMISSIONER replied, that they had never acted upon proceedings of this•description, and the Court mild not temand a person under the 18th section unless the offence was therein set forth. Ile had no doubt but that there had been something very wrong on the pail of the insolvent relative to the proceedings in Chancery, but the case did not come within the pur view of the act. The Conic having no Ulternative, she was therefore entitled to her iischarge. ADMIRALTY COURT, Jews 27. TIIt AVM). Lord Srovizu. gave sentence in this case, which was argued on the last Court day. It was a question as to the right of the Ban ship of war to share in the benefits accruing from the capture of the Biaz . lian slave trader Aviso, actually taken by the ship of war Maidst o ne.— The Learned Judge, alter detailing the circumstances of the capture, observed that, according to the prize law, there cou l d be no doubt that the Ban was a joint captor, and entitled to share in the proceeds of the cap ture; and that where the legislature authorized an ap peal to the High Court of Admiralty, he must presume that it did not mean that the Court should lay dims new rules. The fact therefore, of an appeal being admit ted, called upon this Court to apply the prize rules with due eanCon and temperance to cases of this description. In cases under the prize law, the rule respecting con structive capture had be en carried to an extent wh ic h later policy had condemned. But here was an actual cooperation; the Ban would have been the sole captor of the prize but for the superior sailing of the other ship. She was therefore entitled to share in the boun t y money, and a fortiori to the proceeds of the ship and t sp. parel. His Lordship inquired what became of the ship. Dr. LUSHINOTON stated, that by treaty, the vessel was condemned to the Government, and that by statute, a moiety of the proceeds went to the Government, and the other to the•captors. Lord Srownt..concluded by stating, that under the circumstances of the original sailing orders, the continual • •
