LAW INTELLIGENCE. VICE CHANCELLOR'S COURT, MAY 5. GORDON D. GREEN. Oni. the defendants in this case being in contempt for v.ailt of an answer, was yesterday brought up by Hal • i.s Corpus. After some explanation between the pities. the prisoner was ordered to be brought up to-day, to Nut in his answer to the bill. _ Tl,c prisoner was now informed by the Court that lie must either put in his answer, or remain in confinement until it was done, either by himself or some other party. The defendant stated his willingness to put in his an er, but wished to explain his reasons for not answering before. Ile was ignorant of the practice of the Court, and was not aware of the necessity of putting in any answer.. Now he was informed of that necessity, he had no objection to comply with the order of the Court. He wished it to be explained that he was a mortgagee upon the property, and was in no other way interested in the question. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL kindly explained to the 4k ndant the nature of his situation, and advised him to conform to the rules of the Court. ,Nlr. GißcterroNE, jun. undertook to advise the de ft ndant (who seemed to be a poor ignorant man,) as to the course proper to be pursued. The answer of the defendant was then put in the usual %Nay and he was discharged out of custody. 110VIR V. LORD RAIZELAGH. This case was heard during the whole day upon ex cptions and further directions. It involved no points of any public interest. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, MAY 6. [Sittings in Banco.] CRIMINAL INFORMATION ON BEHALF OF THE HON. COLONEL LYGON. REX F. JZIE. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL, adverting to the delay in granting the rules to show cause why a criminal infor mation should not be Sled against the defendant for gross imputations on the character and honour of the Hon. Colonel Lygon of the Ist Foot Guards (the rule was be fore granted, in the case of Col. Hanmer,) now stated, that he had made a mistake as to the year in which the last letter had been sent, having mentioned 1829, whereas it ought to have been March, 1830. _ _ _ _ Lord TENTERD EN—Then there has been no delay in making the application, and no explanation is required.— Rule granted. CRIMINAL INFORMATION ON BEHALF OF MR. HOLMES, TREASURER OP THE ORDNANCE. REX V. WESTMACOTT. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL applied to the Court in behalf of William Holmes, Esq. Treasurer of the Ord nance, for a rule to show cause why a criminal information should not be Eled against Molloy Westmacott, as pro prietor and publisher of a Sunday paper called the Age, for a libel—a gross libel on Mr. Holmes, inserted in the paper in question of the 28th March last. The Courier newspaper had published a paragraph, in which it was stated that Prince Leopold had refused to guarantee the Greek loan ; and on another occasion that Count Capo d'lstria was embroiling the affairs of Greece. This was contradicted, and the Courier replied that the statement of the 18th of March was correct, and came from good authority ; whereupon the following paragraph appeared in the Age of the 28th of March :—" About a fortnight ago the Courier newspaper put forward, on the best authority, a statement that Prince Leopold was deter mined not to guarantee the payment of the Greek loan ; and on another occasion, that Cape d'lstria was taking measures to embroil matters in Greece. These reports, particularly the former, had, of course, great effect on the Greek Stock, which tumbled down seven or eight per cent. in two or three hours, and they have never entirely recovered since. It is now pretty generally believed that the whole was a lie from beginning to end, got up for stock jobbing purposes ; and the Courier finding itself some what in ill odour in consequence, endeavours to brazen it out on Friday night as follows :—' With respect to the article of the 18th March, we repeat that the information it contained was derived from good authority on the spot. We believed the statement at the time, and con tinue to believe it now.' No doubt, it was derived from very good authority on the spot ; that is, a spot in The Courier office—a most excellent authority, and an old and well-known Greek he is. In plain English, the ar ticle was written, actually written, by the illustrious Billy Holmes himself, the identical whipper-in of the House of Commons. This was the authority—the magnificent Billy Hohnesios, a Greek of the island of Sligo; and William having done this feat, marched off to the Stock Exchange, and began doing a bit of Greek for himself, when he had them at the due point of depression, and will eventually make a good thing of it.—This is all very well for Billy Holmes, but not quite so well for the Courier. The people might recollect the scrapes it got into in Mud ford's time, in this way." This was the libel of which Mr. Holmes complained, and he stated that he never wrote the paragraph in ques-1 tion in The Courier, and never authorised its publication, and, in short, had no connection with it in any way or manner ; that he had never meddled with Greek Bonds nor any other Stock whatever, that he never was in the Stock Exchange to his knowledge, and certainly never was there on any matter of business ; and that the state ment in the Courier could have no application to him.— The denial, therefore, was complete. Mr. Holmes fur ther said in his affidavit, that in his situation of Treasurer of the Ordnance, a great deal of money passed through his hands, and that such an imputation on his character and honour was calculated to do him more injury than it could have done to most other persons ; and this cer tainly was to be considered, in addition to the base falsehood of the libel. Then, as to the connection of Westmacott with this paper, he had to state, that the name of Anne Durham was entered and sworn to at the Stamp-office as the sole proprietor of the paper ; and it was understood that Anne Durham and Westmacott were living together as husband and wife; and the way in which he meant to prove his being proprietor of the Raper was this, and he had affidavits to verify the facts : A suit in Chancery had been lately instituted, in which Anne Durham was a defendant ; and a solicitor's clerk went to Westmacott's to serve her with process, and inquired for Anne Durham, and was told she was not there; he then inquired for Mr. Westmacott, and was informed that he was not at home, but that Mrs. West !Decoct was, and Mrs. Westmacott appeared, and the clerk said that she was Anne Durham ; she said No, but he said she was, and served her , ; and Mr. Westmacott answered in that lent as proprietor or editor of the paper. He also in a late proceeding in the Court of Common Pleas admitted himself to be the proprietor or editor.— This evidence would have been sufficient, but he had, besides, evidence to show that Mr. Westmacott was the author of the libel in question. He met Mr. Scanlan, a gentleman connected with the Courier,- et Drury Lane Theatre, and spoke to him about the paragraph in the Courier, and said that he knew the authority there men tioned was Mr. Holmes, and that he would publish the c i rcums t ance M r . Scanlan told him he was mistaken, and cautioned him how he published any such statement. Mr. S. thought it right to mention the matter to Mr. M'Entaggart, then editor of the Courier, and notice was sent to Mr. Holmes of what had passed relative to the publication in the Age, notwithstanding the denial made by the gentleman whom he had mentioned. Mr. H. de sired that notice might be sent to Mr. Westmacott that he was utterly mistaken in his notion that Mr. Holmes had any thing to do with the paragraph in the Courier, and that if he published anything imputing to him any con cern with that paragraph, he would most certainly prose cute. Notice was accordingly sent from the Courier to Westmacott, with an intimation that if lie published anything to the effect stated, he must do so at his peril. Westmacott said that he had the fact that the paragraph was written by Mr. Holmes from the best authority, and that he would rather lose 1,0001. than not publish it. He called at the Courier office for a copy of the paper con taining the paragraph, which was refused him, and then he went and got it in another quarter, and the result was the publication of the libellous statement to which he had referred. Lord TENTER DEN—Take your rule to show cause.— Rule granted. CASH V. TAYLOR. This was an action on a Bill of Exchange, tried at Guildhall, before Lord TENTERDEN, on the 20th Feb ruary last. The plaintiff was indorsee of the Bill, and sued the defendant as acceptor. The defenco was that the acceptance was written by a clerk of the defend ant's without his authority. For the plaintiff a letter was produced, from which it appeared that the defendant had paid a bill which had been accepted in the same way; and it was contended that, from that circumstance, it might be inferred that the clerk had a general authority to accept. The Judge, at the trial, did not think this a proof of general authority, and no special authority was proved, and therefore the verdict was for the defendant. On motion to set this verdict aside, the Court said that the plaintiff was bound to prove the acceptance by the de fendant, and had not done so.—Rule refused. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, MAY IL HAMILTON V. PITT AND TWO OTHERS. Mr. C. Pitt, Surveyor of the Adelphi Theatre, appear ed on the floor of the Court, and moved for the discharge of the special bail, which had been entered in this action, and that common bail should be entered. Mr. Pitt pro duced an affidavit, in which he stated that be was one of the assignees under a commission of bankrupt against Messrs. Jones and Co. bankers, and the plaintiff had ar rested him and his two co-assignees, for the sum of 781. fora debt due to him, as solicitor under the commission. —The affidavit further stated that the plaintiff had been paid the full amount of his claim on the defendants, and that this arrest was illegal. The LORD CIIIEF JUSTICE asked Mr. Pitt to pro duce a copy of the affidavit of debt, on which he and the other defendants were arrested. 1 Mr. PITT replied that he had not got one, but would produce an office-copy in an hour. The CHIEF JUSTICE directed the cause to come on again to-morrow. COBBETT V. DODD. This was action brought by Mr. Wm. Cobbett, one of the assignees under a commission of bankrupt, issued against a person named Lister, to recover the sum of 3001. from the defendant Dodd, who was a co-assignee under the commission. The facts were these :—ln August, 1828, Lister was indebted in the sum of 1,7001. and he owed above 3001. to the defendant Dodd and a person named Bidgood. They called upon Lister, and examined his books, and they found that there was a sum of three hundred pounds due by Lord Essex to him, and they in duced him to give them a guarantee that they should receive the 3001. when his lordship the money. A Mrs. Brown, an aunt of Lister, gave the required security, and when the money was paid by Lord Essex to Lister, he handed it over to Dodd and Bidgood. In the September follow ing, Lister became a bankrupt, and the creditors subse quently discovered that two of the assignees under the Commission—viz. Dodd, the defendant, and Bidgood— had applied the three hundred pounds paid to Lister by Lord Essex, to their own private accounts, instead of distributing the money amongst the creditors ; and the question the Jury had to decide was, whether the money was paid to Dodd and Bidgoood on their private accounts, or on behalf of Lister's estate. A number of witnesses were examined pro and con, and his Lordship having summed up the case, the Jury at seven o'clock at night (the case having occupied the greater part of the day) found " That the 3001. was paid by Lister to Dodd and Bidgood, for the benefit of the creditors." Verdict for the Plaintiff, Three Hundred Pounds. A petition in favour of the claims of the Jews was sent off on Saturday evening, having received the signatures of 1,947 of the most respectable inhabitants of the town. Consider. ing that there was nothing like a canvass, and that the petitions were only placed in the public rooms, this is a very satisfactory number. ,Petidons much more numerously signed have undoubtedly been sent from Liverpool, but scarcely ever has a petition been signed by a rester number of well educated and really respectable individual.—Liverpool Paper. There is a fact stated in the Star of Brunswick, of Saturday, with respect to rum, of which we had not been before apprised, but which we find, upon inquiry, to be correctly put forward, and it is this—all bonded liquors, on being drawn from store, pay duty on the strength and quantity both were found to contain at the time of storing, no allowance whatever being made for evapora tion, leakage, or other causes of deterioration. The con trary practice prevails with respect to rum, and to rum only, on which duty is paid upon the strength and quan tity leaving store. We understand that the advantage thus given to one spirit over another is immense ; and we have ascertained that our contemporary is quite right in stating the undue preference to be the result of a trea sury order issued for the exclusive advantage of dealers in colonial produco.—Evening Mail. We have been informed that a number of the emigrants who are leaving this country for the back States of Ame rica have sailed, or are going to sail, to New Orleans, with a view of proceeding up the Mississippi and the Ohio to their destination, and that others are thinking of proceeding to the Southern States of the Union. This is an extremely dangerous course. Persons sailing from this port about the present time will arrive at New Or leans in the middle or end of June, a time at which the shores of the Gulf of Mexico and the Southern States of America are beginning to be visited by the yellow fever and other complaints which are so fatal to the natives, and against which no European constitution can bear up. It is greatly to be feared that many of those who proceed to New Orleans or the Southern States will be destroyed by the climate.—At New York the heat is most oppres sive to Europeans during the summer months, and at every degree further south it becomes more so. We be lieve that New York and Boston will be found in every respect the best places for emigrants to land, whatever may be their destination.—For persons unaccustomed to the climate to proceed to the shores of the Gulf of Mex-, ico in the summer months is a rash and most hazardous experiment, and will be very likely to cost those who are, so unwise as to try it their lives.—Liverpool Paper.

RIPPON, Chief Cashier. Bonk of England, 26th April, 1830. Examined by E. TraRELL, Deputy Remembrance,. We understand that the venerable Bishop of Norwich attended at the House of Lords on Friday last, with the 'view of presenting a petition from that town in favour of the Jews ; and that, not having received the petition, in consequence of some unexpected delay in dispatching it, he honoured Mr. Goldamid with a visit, at Champion Hill, on the following day, in order to express his regret that he was obliged immediately to leave London, and would thus be deprived of au opportunity publicly to express his anxiety for the complete success of the mea sure brought by Mr. Grant before Parliament. Friday evening, about eight o'clock, a serious and most distressing accident occurred in M'Alpine-street, Anderton, Glasgow, in the yard of Mr. Neilson, boiler maker there. A number of heavy iron bars were resting on a thin brick wall fronting the street, at the side of which a number of children were playing. In the course of their play one of them had made a stone strike the window of a shop in the neighbourhood, and the shop keeper came out to frighten them. On this all of them but two ran off, and, at the very instant, down came the wall with the heavy iron rods on the top of the two children who were sitting below, and who were crushed to death. A long time elapsed before they were extri cated, and the confusion and anxiety which was created in the neighboorhood was immense. Females were run ning in all directions in search of their children, all un certain whose it might be who were buried in the ruins. It was at last discovered that the two sufferers were two boys, one seven and the other nine years of age, belong ing to a coach-driver of the name of *Neil, at present out of a situation, and who has, within the last few weeks, buried the eldest of his family. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. A SPRIG OF ROTAL;I( T3T 115;;;;;zse.—Yesterday, , ti:, Wilmot, a good-looking young man, 23 years of age, was bru i ,o, before Mr. Alderman WAITHMAN, having been found in a state u destitution in the streets. A watchman of Cripplegate stated that about two o'clock %e,. terday morning, he found the prisoner sitting on the steps of a L.,. in Fore-street, when he ordered him to move on ; but the prisuL,, declared he had no place to shelter himself in, and if he did mos. on it was only to seat himself on the steps of som e et h er d 0,,,. Th watchman asked him who be was P To which he replied this h. was the son of no kis a than her Royal Highn e . % tht Princess Olive of Cumber al receiving this informatiol, th,, night guardian deemed the least respect he could pay to royalty to accommodate her royal highness's son with a lodging inc h , watchhouse. Alderman Warruseax asked him if it were true that he was t I . son of the celebrated Princess Olive? The prisoner replied that it was, and produced one of her roy a , highness's pamphlets, with which he had been presented by Stock. dale, the publishes. The alderman expressed his doubts of the fact ; but one of th, marahalmen said that he recollected when the prisoner was brought to the Mansion-house some time ago. On that occasion he made the same statement, and, it being inquired into, it was aseertaine,. that the prisoner really was the person whom he represented him. self to be. Alderman Waithman asked him how he had been getting Ls living hitherto? He replied that he had been to sea, but, one voyage to India having effectually cured him of all penchant for " ploughing on the deep," he supported himself with hawking about a placard for the Weekly Dispeseek. This kind of itinerant advertising getting oat of fashion the placard was laid aside. After which he engaged with. one Adams, the master of an equestrian corps, with whom he wen. to the Irish metropolis. He filled the situation of property-lad I the company while they performed in Dublin ; but Adams b ro k e up his establishment there, and proceeded with his equestrians on a tow through the south of Ireland, performing in public for 'hater-- they could get. However, when they were at Mallow, the famous watering-town in the county Cork, poor Wilmot was discharged, there being no property to look after. This was on the Bth o; March last, and since that time he has been making the best of his way to London. Alderman AVASITEX/SW—lf the Princess Olive be your mother, how does it happen you do not go by her name ? Prisoner—l am an iltimate son of her's, and was born during a separation from her h usb and. My father was a captain in the guards, but was killed at Waterloo. While he lived he provide! for me ; when he was killed I was left entirely destitute. Alderman Warrumax—Why don't you apply to your mother' Prisoner—She won't own me, nor can I discover where site liver. I applied to Mr. Stockdale, the bookseller, who gave me tire pant. phlet, but he refused to tell me where to find her. If any doubt exists u to the fact of my being her son it will be at once removed by an application to the medical man who attended my mother i. the Isle of Wiffitt. Alderman 'el arruseart—Have you no parish to apply to? Prisoner—l am entirely ignorant in what parish I was born. Aldermen WAITHMAX—We have no funds from which I could assist you, but I think if you were industrious you might be able a - , got something to do. Prisoner—l assure you, sir, that my distress arises from no want of exertion on my part to get a living. I may have faults, to b. sure, and the principal one was to indulge a passion for the see, contrary to the wishes of my foster parents, by which I lost then countenance and protection. Alderman WAITIIMAN—You ought to try and get some one !,, recommend you, and you may be able to get a situation in the no. police, for which your appearance would qualify you. It were bet. ter for you to do anything, even clean boots and shoes.—(prole on. dor ! a princess's son ! )—than starve. The unfortunate young man, whose conduct while at the bar created an impression in his favour, having neither shoes nor stock. togs, an order was given fors pair at the Compeer. The Aldernia:. gave him a few shillings and desired him to call at the office again. when he would speak to some of his brother Aldermen and try it they could do something for him. BOW-STREET.

Mr. Thomas stat 4 that he had caused the prisoner to be taken into custody that morning in consequence of information which he had received from a young Irishman named Jeremiah Bryan, who stated himself to be nephew to the murdered woman, and that ti:e prisoner was the man who committed the deed. Jerry Bryan, a raw Corkoalan, here stepped forward to dechre that the prisoner at the bar had " kilt" his aunt. Mr. ILtans—How do you know that P " Why, then," said Jerry, " I don't know it of my own know. barin I'm towld so by a man what does know it. " Mr. HALLS—Can you bring that man forward? Jerry said he could. Mr:HALLS then directed that Florence should be detained further inquiry should have been made. Florence—Your wortship may do wid me just as you plebe. to; I'm innocent, and I don't care who knows it ; but it's a hard cast to be taken away from work at the New University. Jerry, being father interrogated by the magistrate, stated that the name of the murderer of his aunt undoubtedly was Florence Donovan. He war living at the time as servant to a gentleman in the neighbourhood, but absconded immediately after the murder : and, although a reward of 501. was offered for his apprehension, tale or tidings could be learned of him until the present time. LAISIBETH.STREET. _____---- ------- JUVZWILE SHOP-PLUNDZIItiII--Two lads, John Hopkins and John Hattie*, the first about 16 years of age, who is lame, act: walks with a crutch, the second 13 years old,were charged yesterday by Mr. Jones, the silversmith in CarobllL, with robbing him of 3 child's silver cup. value 335. Mr. Jones stated that on that day fortnight the prisoners came into his shop, and asked to look at a silver thimble. H e wa s b us) in serving a lady who purchased a child's silver cup. Three cups. which the lady had rejected, were standing on the counter. His thopman attended to the prisoners, who, after looking at the thim ble, went away without buying h. So on after they were gone h: missed one of the cups. Reynolds, the high-constable of Whitechapel, said he m e t ti t : prisoners that morning, and from information which he had re ceived apprehended them and sent for 31r. Jones, who identif.ed them as the lads who robbed hint. The younger prisoner (Daniels,) who seemed perfectly at ease about the matter, said that fir . Jones stated the robbery was com mitted a fortnight ago. lie had not been out of Newgate a for. night. Mr. Jones said he could speak positively as to the lame prison:l (Hopkins,) but not to the other. He had no doubt, however, b.. that he belonged to a gang of thieves who had visited his shop s:- veral times, and he had lost many valuable articles by their .s• pertness. Reynolds said that numerous robberies had been committed ultc., various shopkeepers by the prisoners, and if time were allowe , i, sufficient evidence could be advanced to convict them both. Mr. Maio 'nett ordered them to be remanded until next Wed nesday. The prisoners were dressed in the most superb stile, and are welt known to the police. Their depredations have been very extensive. especially upon watchmakers and jewellers. BIRTHS. On the 4th instant, in Montagu-place, Bryanston-square, lady of E.
