SUBSTANCE OF THE NEW LAW OF PRINCIPAL AND FACTOR: Clause LA.-Gives to a consignee of goods the right to consider the person in whose name the goods are shipped to be the proprietor, unless he has notice to the contrary ; and the consignee will, therefore, be entitled to apply the proceeds in discharge of any sum due from arch person, or of any engagement entered into on his account. To guard against the improbable case of the consignor having tits mere possession of the goods, without any authority either to consign or to sell them, the right of the consignee to treat them as the property of the consignor is made to depend upon the fact of the consignor having been " intrusted for dm purpose of consignment or of sale ;" but to relieve the consignee from the necessity of proving that fact, the clause pro vides that the person in whose name any goods are shipped shall be presumed to have been " intrusted therewith for the purpose of consignment or of sale, unless the contras y shall be made to appear ;" casting the negative proof, therefore, upon the party disputing the fact. 2. The preceding clause hating relieved the consignee from the necessity to investigate the title of the consignor, this clause governs the relation between the consignee or other person having the dncumentsof title, and those with whom he may'deal. It provides that any person intrusted with, and in possession of, any bill of ladin4, India warrant, dock warrant, wateluse-keeper's carp ficate, wharfinger's certificate, warrant or order for deli very of goods, shall be deemed and taken to be the true owner of the goods, wares, merchandise, described and mentioned in the said several dt,cuments, so far as to give validity to any coot+ act or agreement entered into by such person, with any oiler person, or corporation, for the sale or disposition of the said goods, or for the deposit or pledge them eof, as a st entity for any money or negotiable instrument advanced or given by such person or corps:n*6.in, provided the person making the advance shall not have notice that such person is not the actual and bonefftle owner. 3.—Enables a creditor of any person in possession of any such document of title to acquire an interest in the goods to the extent of that persbn's interest thereii , ,, although no present advance shall be made, the dis tinction being, that a person making an advance shall be considered to have a valid title, even against the true owner, because he has been induced to give credit to the appearance of title in the individual possessing the docu • scents; but the person obta;ning security for an antece dent debt is only to acquire such interest as the debtor could properly and equitably transfer - to him—namely, his own interest in the goods. 4.—Protects persons oho may purchase and pay for goods, wares, or merchandise, from agents, although the tact of their being merely agents should be known, provided such dealing shall proceed in the usual and ordinary' course of business, and that the purchaser shall not have notice at the time of the purchase or payment, that the agent is not authorized to sell the goods, wares, and merchandise, or to receive the pur chase money.- This clause - effectually 'meta the class of cases considered so hard upon merchants, by which a purchaser might be made liable to pay a second time for goods intrusted to an agent for a Waited purpose, but not for sale, but which he had neverthekss sold, and such sale not being in open market, was . not binding upon the proprietor of the goods._ s.—Makes deposits or pledges of goods,o?documents of title, by persons known n t to be the proprietors thereof, valid to the extent of the interest which coulu or might have been enforced by the factor or agent at the time of such deposit or pledge. eves the right of the pi incipal, as between him and his factor, or agent, and also as against the as.' signees of the factor or agent, in case of bankruptcy— also, to receive the purchase-money for goods sold, in case they shall not have been paid for, but subject to any set-off on the part of the purchaser ;* also, to receive back the goods of the principal in pledge, upon repay ment of the advances made upon such pledge. The remaining chases relate only to the principal and his factor or agent, and sly not affect the rights of persons dealing with the factor or agent. 7.—Subjects factors or agents to he prosecuted for a miscltmeattor, who may deposit or pledge any goods, wares; or merchandise, intrusted or consigned to his or her care& management, or any of the said documents of title to possessed or intrusted, and who shall apply or dispose of the money or nego iable instrument bor rowed or received by such factor or agent, to his or her own use, in violation of good faith, and with intent to defraud the owner of any such . goods. S.—Provides that factors, or agents, are not to be sub ject to prosecution for having deposited of pledged goods intrusted or consigned to them, provided they are not made a security for any greater sum than at the time of such deposit or pledge was justly due and owing to such factor or agent, from his or her principal. But bills of exchange, drawn by or on account of such principal, are not to be considered as constituting any part of such debt so due and owing from such principal, so as to excuse the consequence of such deposit or pledge, unless such bills shall be paid when the same shall respectively become due. 9.—Protects (from the penalties imposed by the Act) partners of factors, or agents, who may Dot be accessory or privy to the mom missies:ts, of the beforementioned offence by such factor or agent. 10—Lablaw the peistipel t, takeilie same proceedings, and seek the IMMO remedy, against !him:ter sr agent, for misconduct, which he might have taken if the Ass had net passed.

CONSUMPTION OF CORN IN ENGLANIS.—.The popu ation of England and Wales, in 1765, was rated at six millions, and Dr. ADAM SMITM estimated, that for the immediate consumption, by that number of individuals, 7.556,350 quarters of grain was necessary. The popu lation of Great Britain, at present, may be estimated at 14 millions in round terms. The total amount then, absolutely required for annual Consumption by the country (exclusive of Ireland. which is always a grain• exporting country, and, consequently, able to support, from its own resources, more than its share of popula tion), will be but 15.299,816 quarters of all descriptions I To this may be added one-tenth of the entire fur seed. ... ;;""*. • •-•. ^ . ...ntsrmart•4so7 -- +"^ -- V O -• • • .• • LAW REPORT. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S couaT, Nov. 7. COURT. OF KING'S BENCH, Nov. 7. SUM V. CLIMEXT. Mr. GUAM moved fora rule to show cause why the verdict of the Jury, given for the defendant, the Pro rietor of The morniNg Chronicle, in the above cause, should not be set aside, and a new trial had. The case, it will be recollected, was that of an action brought by a Police Reporter of The Times Newspaper, against the defendant, for certain expressions calculated to injure his character , contained in a Marlborough-street Police Report in The Morning Chronick Newspaper. The LORD CHIEN JUSTICR was of opinion, that the verdict in the cause ought more properly to have been for the plaint;ff, with damages of .51. Mr. Justice liatiav thought no actual damage had been proved, as the plaintiff bad not lost his situation. Mr. Guasry said that be had been injured in his reputation by the libel, and was entitled to the protection of the law.—The rule ' was granted. :x• PA 111TIROXIlla lUOW , /14. • The defendant, who had taken the benefit of the Insolvent Act, came into Court to move for a rule to shew c•iuse why he should not be discharged from custody, exempt on the recogniz4nces, which were estreated with respect to Lord Clifton, the son of Earl ' Darnley. The affidavit of the defendant was read, stating that he had been injured considerably in has health by a confinement of six years. He prayed that he might be discharged from custody on judgment on his recognizAnces. The Court granted a rule to shew cause. CIMMUYALL INFORKAIIOIII4 The Commou SERGEANT moved for a criminal infor. matron agaiisst a Clergyman and a Magistrate of the c %rot, of Lincoln. The application was made on the part of the husband of a L ;dy • who, before ber mar- NATAL STANNANT AIID annum lIIIIIINe ASSOCIATION.-ILAINIC ANA Oltlsif V. WV P. IL AVAIL •ND OVUM -^T- _ • In this case a bill had been filed by five *Sim's, as well for themselves as others, orginal subscribers to the above Company, and at present holders of 1,700 shares. The prayer of the bill was, that the Managing Direc- tors be compelled to repay to the Subscribers the sums which Oey had respectively advanced on their shares. The equity named in the bill was, misconduct on the part of the Directors. It was alleged that some of the Directors originally named in the Prospectus had re fused to act, and were replaced by the others without the concurrence of the Subscribers. It was further charged in the bill, that the Directors kept back 3,800 shares, although application had been made to them for double the number proposed to be issued, namely, (10,000), and it was stated that they were influenced in so doing by a regard for their own private advantage, intending to reserve those shares to themselves in case the profit'succeedeJ, bat to dispose . of them should the result prove unfavourable. To this bill the defendants put in a general demurrer, on the grounds of " want of equity." Another objection was advanced by them, namely, that the bill wanted pasties, inasmuch as all the persons in the case were not in Court. His Honour, in giving judgment, said, that being of opinion that the defendants were guilty of misconduct, he felt himself bound to overrule the demurrer. With respect to the other objections stated by the defendants' Counsel, namely, that the bill wanted parties, the general principle was, that all the parties should be named in the bill. He was aware that in some special cases the Court admitted one to sue on behalf of many ; but it never was held that, in all cases where the patties hap pened to be numerous, a similar indulgence was to be granted. Feeling, therefore that he was bound to ad. minister the law as he found it, and not to establish new :tries, it became his duty to allow the latter objec• Lion, and refuse the prayer of the bill. His Honour further observed, that although the 6 Geo. I. (the Bubble Act) had not been alluded to in the course of argu ment, he thought it in some measure applicable to such Cases as the present. 131TERIAL DISTILLERY COMPANY. His HoNowt nest proceeded to give judgment in a ease arising out of the above Company. A Shareholder' filed a bill against the Managing Director, for the re covet y of 11.0/. advanced by him on 20 shares which he purchased on the faith of the statements put forth in the original prospectus of the Company. According to this prospectus, the capital of the Contpany was to be 600,0001 A to 'be raised by 12,000 shares of 501. each. Officers it was said were to be appointed for every e• partment—a deed of settlement to be executed, and an Act of Parliament applied for, to enable the Company to stie and be sued by its officer.. The plaintiff charged in the bill that two of the persons named in the original prospectus had refused toact,and were replaced by others; a second prospectus was subsequently issued, differing materially from the first. A few of the shares only had been disposed of, and a first call of 51. on each had been psi.* on still fewer ; notwithstanding this, the Directors '. m ide a second call of sLand proceeded to purchase exten sive distillery premises, and expend large sums for other purposes. For chase reasons, and because the Directors, had in these matters acted for their own private etnolu- Ment, and sold at a high premium several shares which they had in the first instance retained, which had the effect of defrauding the petitioner and the other share. holders ; the petitioner now prayed, that the 1001. ad vanced by him be repaid to him. To this prayer one of the Directors had put in a general demurrer, alleging want of equity on the part cf the petitioner. His Honour was of opinion that the demurrer ought to be overruled. The plaintiff was entitled to recover the one hundred pounds, and the only difficulty was, whether he could recover at laW or in a Court of Equity. He did net lay much stress on the difference between the first and second prospectus ; this would be a more fit subject of inquiry for a Court of Law; being convinced that this proposed Company was a mere snare to induce per sons to subscribe to what the Directors intended to convert to their own profit. He thought it came within the rule laid down in Holt v. Wollaston.* Mr. WAKILFIELD applied for time, that the defendants might have an opportunity of pleading de novo, to which his Honour assented. • This was the eekbrated ease, arising ont of a Company, estab lished for the purpose of extracting oil from radishes !

There was on this occasion, as on Friday last, a very Lull attendance of Barristers and others. The Bar was filled with silk gownsmen.

Mr. was a married man, and the young Lady before her marriage was on terms of intimacy with the family, and in the habit of visiting at his house. • Mt . : on healing that the young Lady was about to be married, endeavoured, by every means in his power, to prevent its taking place ; he wrote anonymous letters under the sig nature of " Vern," in which he stated a sort of intercourse between the young Lady and himself to have taken place. The Gentleman to whom she was about to be married disregarded the imputations, and the marriage took photo. Since that time Mr. -- had repeated his chat . ges against the Lady, in the most in decent and offens ive terms. Her if stated expreisly, and in the largest terms, that there was no foundation for the charges. The Learned Sergeant then read part of letters, which were couched in the offensive terms already stated. The Loeb Cam Jussses—Take a role to thew cause. THE AGE rtawseanis. Mr. SCARLITT, immediately on his coming into Court, moved for a Rule Nisi, for a Criminal Iniorma tion against R. D. Richards, the Printer, Publisher, and sole Proprietor, of the Age Sunday Newspaper. The Learned Counsel stated, that he made this application on the part of Mr. Easthope, the Member of Parliament for Saint Alban's. In the defendant's paper of the Ist of October last, an article appeared, containing reflec tions on the conduct of Mr. Easthope. It stated, that Mr. Easthow, whom it designated as " a prig of a stock.broker," had brought a quantity of Chil an Bonds into the Stock Exchange, because he had received in formation that the Dividends on Chilian Securities would not be paid, and the article contained other imputations against Mr. Easthope. The Learned Counsel said, he had the affidavit of the chairman, and other yet sons, of the Stock Exchange, denying the truth of the statement contained in the defendant:. paper. Mr. Easthope had, in fact, purchased a quantify of Chilian Bonds, instead of having sold them.—Rule,n isi granted. WELSH RIOTEIL Sir WILLIAM OWEN, the Attorney General for Wees, moved for a writ of certiorari, to have the trial of cer tain rioters, concerned in demolishing a house, removed from Cardiganshire to some adjoining county in Eng land, on the ground that it was impossible to procure a fair and impartial trial in Wales, for the following rear. sons : About twelve years ago there was an Act of Parliament passed for the enclosing of commons in Wales, in consequence of which p large tract of land was inclosed in Cardiganshire, of which a Gentleman, named Brackenbury, was a purchaser to a considerable amount, and built a splendid mansion thereon in 1820 ; but before be was long in possession of it, an immense multitude attacked and set fire to it, whereby it was utterly destroyed. The perpetrators of this act remain as yet undiscovered, although rewards to a great amount had been offered. Mr. Brackenbury, not dismayed by this, built another hou e, which was completed in April last. After he had been ten days in possession, a mob collected in the neighbouring mountains and bleW horn. In a few hours six hundred persons assembled, and surrounded the house; they warned the inhabitants to withdraw in an hour, or else they should be burnt. 'The servants consequently left the house, and in a few minutes after it was destroyed. A ringleader of this mob was shortly after apprehended and tried; but though he had been clearly identified, he was, to the (great astonishment of all present, acquitted; such w is I the prejudice entertained by the lower cusses against Mr. Brackenbury and the inclosures,:that it was impos sible to obtain a fair trial; independently of this preju dice, there was another reason—the witnesses were all Englishmen, who did not speak the Welch language, and nine out of ten of the Jury did not understand them or the Judge. On the late trial, the Jury expressed a wish that the evidence of the principal witness should be interpreted into Welsh for them, but Sergeant Haywood, who presided, objected to 1 - , on the ground that, by law, all proceedings in Courts of Justice should be in the English language.—(Much laughter.) The consequence was, that tire prisoner was acquitted, from the Jury not understanding the evidence. —Rule granted. sssß ma e: - sena ILAWLINSON, SSC& Mr. &Antat she Wed cause against a rule obtained last term for a mandamus, to compel Mr. Rawlinson, l the Magistrate, to hear the information of the Commis sioners for paving the North West district of the parish of St. Pancras, charging several hackney coachmen with refusing to remove from Howland-street- to Tottenham court-road. The refusal, according to the view taken of the Act of the 12th George HI. by the Commissioners, rendered the parties liable to a penalty. The Commis sioners, in consequence of complaints respecting the improper arrangement of hackney coaches at the end of Howland -street, ordered the stand to remove to Tottenham-court-road. The Knights of the Whip being refractory, several were summoned to appear at the police office. The Magistrates refused to take cogni zance of the complaint and convict the parties, being of opinion that the Commissioners had not power to remove coach stands. They were therefore desirous of taking the opinion of the Court upon application for a mandamus. Mr. ScriaLzzr now contended that the words of the Act only gave the Commissioners power to direct and regulate hackney coach stands. Trrotv words "direct and regulate" could not be considered a poster to re move. In 1771, a general regulation with respect to hackney coaches gave them the privilege of ternaining in any street more than thirty feet wide. Mr. ANDREWS held the same line of argument. The SOLICITOR GRIRRAL, in support of the rule, contended that the Parish Commissioners hml power to remove coach stands in their district, and that they could not do the business entrusted to them by the Act without that power. The LORD CHU/Finance, in giving judgment, said —" I think the Commissioners were justified in saying coaches should not stand in Howland-street. I say no. thing about Tottenham Court•road ; that may be out of their jurisdiction. They had power to say the stand should not remain in Howland•street. Judges HOLROTD and Lams:Daus were of the same opinion. The rule for a mandassus was made absolute. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Nov. 7. WALSH AND OTHERS O. LORD HOWARD DI trauma. This was an issue directed from the Court of Chan cery, to try the legality of the attestation of the will of the late General Harvey. The question turned upon the evidence of the signing witnesses to the will, one of whom said that he verily believed the signature to be his own handwriting, but he had no tecollection of ever having signed a will. The Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff, thereby establishing the legality of the will, of which so much has appeared in the Court.of Chancery, and on which, we Roderstand, more than 50,0001. is depending. A A... - MARGATE. This place begins to assume its wintry appearance; the gaiety and bustle of the summer season has subsided; the inhabitants now may rest iefeace to enjoy the fruits of their smell-earned labour during the few short months engaged. Of the steam-packets two only run twice in the week ; the number of persons brought by these vessels is unprecedented in the annals of any former year, but their stay in the , town has been of short dura tion. The Joint Stock Company of the Pier have reaped a most beneficial harvest by the amount of head money (two shillings for each person, both ways). A few days since, during the gales, a large French fishing vessel, with twenty hands on board, was lost on the Knock Sand, and all but two boys, who were picked up by a collier, unfortunately perished. Part of the wreck was seen on the sand the nest day by some of the Margate boys. Three bodies, supposed to be Frenchmen, were wash ed on shore, near the Dreit-houses on the Pier, on Friday, one on Saturday, and on Sanday morning one more, not far from the same place. It is conjectured they must have been driven from the Ling Sand, ac cording to the winds anJ tide, and were in a most eata coated state; they were immediately conveyed to the workhouse. Owing to the great crop of potatoes in the vicinity of Margate, they are selling at 3s. ad. per •ark, by the single sack, NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.
