The LORD CHIER JusTice here put it to the Coun sel, whether any Judge would not order a man to be discharged who should be brought before him on a warrant, in which the question only, and not the answer, should be specified ; and Mr. Justice HoL ROYD expressed the same opinion. The Learned - Counsel then stated, that the bank ruptcy had been for £30,000, only £5,000 of which had been accounted for : and when the bankrupt had been interrogated, as to the money due to him, lit replied, he could not tell, as his accounts were not made up, and be assigned no satisfactory reason why that had not been done. A case was also cited (Stanley v. Goddard) in which the Lord Chancellor I had held, that a bankrupt who had promised a, balance•sheet, was bound to fulfil his promise, or to, take the consequence of his refusal. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE stated, that he could entertain no doubt that the defendants were of opi- I nion they had acted legally; but it was not clear' that they had a right to commit, or were borne out by law in what they had done. He was also not pre pared to say, that an error of judgment on the part, of the Commissioners would warrant an action for false imprisonment to be maintained. On the whole, he was of opinion that there should be a new trial.. The other Judges were of the same opinion. It ap peared, that on the trial the Learned Judge had given permission to move for leave to enter a Nonsuit. The Court rose at Two o'Clock to prick for She. riffs in the Court of Exchequer. .

They were deco rated with laurel, the coachmen, guards, &c. having white cockades in their hats ; the people crowded around them on their stopping, making anxious in quiries; the news of which soon circulated through out the town like wildfire, and joy beamed in every countenance. Flags, laurel, and white ribands, were displayed in many parts of the town. In the course of the day a requisition, numerously and most re spectably signed, was presented to our worthy Mayor, GEORGE DELL, &Ai. for the use of the Town-Hall, for the purpose of taking into consideration the pro priety of presenting an Address of Congratulation to her MAJESTY on the glorious victory she has obtained over her persecutors. Our worthy Chief Magistrate 3nost readily acceded to the wish of the Requisi tionists, and a Meeting is appointed on behalf of the Free Barons and Inhabitants of this ancient and loyal town and port for to-morrow morning, at nine o'clock. In the morning of yesterday one of her Me- Jasri Messengers arrived from Hammersmith, and embarked for Calais wid.out delay." Wednesday, the unfortunate prisoners IVI 4 Colgan, Grant, Connor, and Crosbie, were executed at Glas gow, for house-breaking and robbery. At five mi nutes past three o'clock they walked up to the scaf fold with a solemn step, attended by the Rev. Mr. MARSHALL, of the High Church, and the Rev. Mr. SCOTT. Their behaviour there was extremely decent and becoming. After remaining a shorttime in eartiebt conversation and prayer with tke above Reverend Gentlemen, they kissed each other, and taking fare well of their religious assistants, dropt the fatal sig nal, and were launched into eternity. An immense crowd of men, women, and children, were prftent. - .lPOijet eT who :IterenselOVnearat. eTfAromfewtheof t u be:ra ds ssl d in ep g re th d t a ev ton es, in the street on Saturday 'night, were brought before the LORD MAYOR, charged by some of the Officers with having attempted to pluoder several persons on Ludgate-hill. The thieves had on that occasiorits sembled together opposite the house of Mr. Hone, and the houses of other persons who had lighted up in a superior manner. When an y respectable person. was passing, they seized him by the arms and openly robbed him of his watch and anything else of value "he might have about him. This was their plan of operations, and their numbers were so great, that they cared not whether the Police saw them or not. The vigour, however, with which they were attacked by several of the Officers, amongst whom were Har rison, the Marshalman, and Brown and Forrester, soon checked - their impetuosity in some places. Those Officers darted in amongst the most active, and die shew of resistance soon vanished. One of those fel lows who were taken into custody had a great num ber of handkerchiefs of all descriptions upon his per son, and other articles, which evidently were not his. The LORD MAYOR, in sending back the prisoners to the Compter, said, these were certain ill-disposed persons who took advantage of the tumults which necessarily arose from the determination of the Po lice to put down such characters as those just brougl t before him, by ascribing to the warmth of the pol tical hostility against certain measuies all the cor.. sequences of those scandalous'proceedings. He re gretted that a very gross misrepresentation had been made of what had occurred in the City on Saturday night. It was stated in a very respectable Morning Paper, of popular character, that the Officers had been attacked with iuccess by vast numbers of the crowd, and that they were driven within the gates of the Mansion House. This and other .assertions in the paragraph alluded to were directly:the reverse of the truth. The fact was, that the Officers, upon seizing some offensive persons in the crowd, placed them within the r,ates of the Madsion-House for greater security, and then traversed the streets, to prevent any further disorder. There never, perhaps, was a stronger proof than Saturday night presented, of the disposition of an extraordinary population, col• lected to celebrate a triumph, to acts of peace and good nature. His Lordship lamented that the ap plicatiost of the Editor of a Morning Paper, whose house-had suffered much from the indignation of a wild multitude, had not been made at an early period of the evening, for he was convinced that very few of the Police could have prevented an event which every one in society must more or less deplore. He had himself gone to the house in question, and as. certaiiied that no injury had been done, except what everybody could see from the street ; and he led away three or four hundred persons from the spot;l but he could not help declaring, that he saw not the slightest inclination in any of them to commit riot or 1 , disturbance of any on. He knew that the Editor of the Paper in question was dissatisfied at his con-' duct, and seemed to think that lie should be in three or four places at a time, a power which none even of his predecessors enjoyed ; but he had only to declare, that he had remained at his station, and that he had shewn as much readiness to serve that individual as he could shew to any person under similar circum stances. The attack upon the house had been begun and ended within fifteen minutes. There were pre parations made to prevent any recurrence of such improper proceedings; but, indeed, he apprehended nothing dangerous or mischievous from the approach ing celebration. It appeared that the LORD MAYOR had arrived a few minutes after the house alluded to was but st open ; Mr. Alderman WAITIIMAN arrived at the same time. The latter addressed the crowd, and declared that the enemies, and not thefriends of the Queen, had committed the outrage complained of. When the LORD MAvoit reached the Mansion-House, he addressed the crowd that followed him, and advised them to go home to their wives and sweethearts. Bow- srazar.--Yesterday, DTr. BIRNIR was sitting from an early hour till midnight, with very little in termission. Several persons connected with the mobs were charged with outrages in breaking windows, &c. for which they were ordered to find bail or be committed. The worthy Magistrate was busily en gaged during the day in distributing the officers, constables, and conductors of the patrol ; and also the numerous bodies of horse and foot patrol in dif ferent parts of the Metropolis to preserve the peace. Soon after four o'clock two men were brought to the Office from Coient-garden Market, armed with six muskets, six swords, and four pistols, calling out " the Queen," &c. They afterwards underwent an examination, when Lack, the constable, said, he met the prisoners in Henrietta-street, with t he above wea pons, and behaving in a very disorderly way, and hearing one of them say, they would go into Covent garden Market and load them, he took them into cus tody.—The prisoners, in . giving an account of them selves, said their names were William Hervey, a coach-maker, working for Mr. Turner, of Long-acre, and William Ryles, a brass-founder and sword cutler, residing in Wild-street. He and Hervey had been to Hungerford to fetch the weapons, they having arrived there from Richmond, where they had been lent to Mr. Klanert, the Manager of that Theatre, for theatrical purposes. They belonged to Mr. Benjamin Bond, who supplied the small Theatres with the loan of such articles. The weapons were examined to ascertain if they were made foe theatrical purposes, when five out of the six swords were found to be so, the other was sharp ; one of the: pistols had belonged to a dragoon; the guns had flints in them, which the prisoners accounted for by saying it was necessary, *hen they were to be fired" on the Stage. The Magistrate believing the defence, discharged the prisoners, but detained the weapons till this day, to prevent their • being used for nus. chievous purposes last night.
