The ATTORNEY GRNERAL 4 on behalf of the parishio ners of the parish of Putney, applied for a mandamus to be directed to the proper ,calesiastical officer, com manding him to sear in a churchwarden elected by them. There was a dispute between . the Vicar or Pal- Dental Curate of Putney and the parishioners, as to which of them had the right of choosing the churchwardens. ' The Vicar chose one, and the parishioners another; and the Attorney General moved for the mandamus in order to get the latter sworn in. .The object was to try the question. • Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE thought that it would be better for all parties that it should be a rule to show cause; but the .

This was an action on a policy of insurance on goods shipped on board a vessel called" The Monarch,' on a voyage from. Liverpool to the River Plate, with liberty to the Master, in case he should be warned off the River Plate, to put into any other port of South America that he might think expedient. The insurance was effected on the 4th of March, 1826, at the time when the port of Buenos Ayres was blockaded by the Brazilian squadron. The vessel Sailed on the 11th of March, and having reached the River Plate, it was taken by the blockading squadron and sent to Rio Janeiro for condemnation. Some of the crew had been taken out, but the Master and four others were left on board, along with the-Por tuguese and Brazilians who had charge of the vessel.-- Before she reached Rio Janeiro the Captain and his men contlived to overpower the Poituguese and Brazilians, and got possession of the ship, which was brought back to Liverpool. On intelligence that the vessel had been taken and sent to Rio Janeiro, the assured abandoned her as a total loss. At the time of the abandonment, however, the vessel had beets recaptured, and before the action was brought had arrived at. Liverpool with the goods in satety.—Verdict for the plaintiff for 2001. with leave to altar a nonsuit in ca_e this should not be con siJe. ed a total loss. 0 • The ATTORNEY Gantotat , contended that the non suit ought to be enteresilse,_because the Master, in retaking the ship, had violated the law of nations, as he ought to have awaited the iudgment of the Admiralty Court of Rio, which, it must,be supposed, would have done right; and it the Captain' had nut intended to violate the blockade, she would have been liberated 2d, because. when the. Master got possession of the ship. he ought not to ha* brought her back to Liver. pool, but should have proceeded to some part of South America-3d, because there was really no ,loss at the time of she abandonment—and 4th, it there was loss, it was only partial and not total. The Couar took time to coosider before they gave judgment. %/MARCIE AND ANOTHER, ASSIGNEES OP ALEEDO, ALMONERS OF WILLIASIS--ISSUR FROM OHANCRRYI A Mr. Hilbers had been, in 1822, engaged in ex tensive speculations in Russian tallow, and Williams bad some share in the concern. Alzedo advanced money, and accepted drafts on the credit of 1,128-tons of tallow deposited with him , at an estimated value. Lots of the tallow were to be taken out from time to time, to be sold by Mr. Rainer, a broker, and the produce was to be accounted for to Alzedo. Williams, by gua rantees of September and November, 1822, engaged to indemnify Alzedo against the difference between the estimated price of the tallow and the price at which it misist be sold ; and also engaged for the proceeds of the sales being paid him, to meet his advances and en gagements from Hilbets. Accounts were rendered by Alzedo to Williams, and were on two occasions ac knowledged by Williams, in letters to Alzedo, to be correct atter examination. The result was a very con siderable loss on the spahlations. and Alzedo, and after wards Williams, failed. The assignees of Alzedo brought, an action against Williams (defended, after his failure, by his assignees) for a large balance, appeating to be due to Alzedo. The accounts were put in at the trial, uith the letters of Williams admitting their correctness, and Hilbers and. Rainer were called as witnesses. Ile batancc on the account stated. appeared to W*118.0001..1)44 ,the phintiffs to 'k a ver dict for less—viz. 110.0001. The, then Solicitor Ge neral (Tyndal) obtained a rule' to show cause why the verdict should not be set aside, and a new trial granted; and Mr. Gurney now, in support of the tole, contended that credit had not been given by Alzedo to Wslliams for one thousand additional tons of tallow lodged in his bends, and that there ought to be a new trial, or that tke balance ought to be reduced to 63,0001. or satire Other sum less than the 110,0001. • The ATTORNEY G 21111144 Mr. Bnovounu, Mr. Pot.- Look, and Mr. Rico AWOL relied on the settled accounts, and the adenissiob by Williams that they Mere correct, which the plaintiffs could not get rid of, and contended that the verdict ought 1Q stand. Lord TRNTERDstt (after the Judges bad consulted for some time), intimated that his Learned Brothers were not satisfied that justice had Was dope, and therefore there must be a new trial —Rule alisoltite lot a new trial. IT PART* POOH, A PRISONER. Mr. CHITTY moved tot a role to show cause why .1/avid Pugh, who had been imprisoned in the country on indictments for various misdemenoors, should not be admitted to bail._ It appeared that the trial of two of these indictments, at.the prosecution of a person of the g name of Stylds, had been postponed by the Ses sions, at the instance el the defendant. on the ground of the absence of a matezial witness; but it was made a condition with the agent of the defendant that be should out •be bailed by the Sessions unless be paid Styles his costs already incbtred ; these weresalculatoci at 421. which included 201. for Styles's personal molten in travelling about. The sum was extravagant, and therefore the defendant trusted that he would be bailed by this Court, without insisting on the conditions. Lord TENTIRDZII—aake a role to show cause. COUEF OF COMMON PLEAS. Jute s 7. Sittings is Banco. • Ili Rit murrnsr. Mr. Sergeant Wiina moved for a rule to chow cause why a writ of privilege should not issue on .behalf of Mr. Jeffrey. He founded his motion .on an affidavit, which stated that Mr. Jeffrey was a clerk in the treasury of this Court; that his official duties required constant attendance; that he had been appointed Overseer in the parish in which he resided; and that, although he had made the parishioners acquainted with the fact of his official duties, and had offered to provide a substitute or to pay a fine, they had positively refused to allow of any muse, and had began to proceed against him, by , way of indictment, for 'not accepting the office. The COURT, under these circumstances, granted a rule to show cause. • BOARD OF IMMO., Jima Cl. Bridget Kennedy was charged with having in her possession a quantity of spirits which had not paid the duty. It appeared that the defendant's husband, who was an old trafficker in the mountain 'dew, had several times been caught with quantities of that liquor, and was now expiating his last offence in prison. His wife, however, nothing daunted by his conviction, continued the business, and was found, upon this occasion, with between three and four gallon: of spiritst twenty per' ' cent. under proof. . The defendant, in a pure Hibernian accent, said that this sort of trade was the only means of support . for I herself and four helpless children. who stood by her ' side in Court. If their Honours would release her hos. bind, she promised faithfully to histrifilothing more to 'do with spirits. - The Comer convicted her in the penalty of 251. but intimated that the penalty would not be enforced unless she was found again offending. William Brown and Thomas Brown were charged with illicitly manufacturing glass on their premises: It appeared, that on the 6th February three Excise officers went to the house occupied by the defendants, in Weatherhead-gardens, Bethnal Green,and on oboin ing admission, found in a back room a peeled glass manufactory in full operation, together with a quantity of manufactured glass, cullett, moulds, &c. In an upper room they found one of the defendants in bed, and the other on the bed; both of them were however dressed. and their appearance showed they had been recently at work in the glass factory. The defendants were convicted in the full penalty of 1 001. and the materials ordered to be condemned. M r. John Milton, grocer and tea dealer in the Strand, was charged with retailing foreign wine without a li cense, which subjected him to a penalty of 2001. Thomas Leonard, an . Excise officer, stated that on the 9th February he went to Mr. Milton's shop, and said' he was recommended to them by a Mr. Morris, of Nor. IHk-street, to whom he understood they sold wine, and he wished for a bottle of port as a sample. The shop man solid they did supply Mr.-Morris, and he delivered a bottle of port wine.to the officer, for which he paid Ss. Sd. The officer asked if he could have several dozens, and the shopman replied he could have any_quantity he wanted. _ The defendant admitted he was not licensed. and that his shopman sold the officer the bottle of wine; but it seas only because the officer said he came from Mr. Morris. who was one of his customers. The defendant complained very much of the deception that the officer bad practised. The COURT said they would not allow the fair trader to be placed on such disadvantageous terms as would be. if other persons were permitted to sell wine without paying for their licenses. The Court then convicted the defendant in the mitigated penalty of 101. Saturday se'nnight two young gentlemen belonging Belfast, together with a young lad of the name of Cooper, who lived in Holywood, put off front Cultra in a yawl, at about. half past ten o'clock. The boat was rigged with a sprit and lug sail. When they were about a mile front the Holywood shore they attempted to put about, but in doing so the boat capsized, and they were precipitated into a very rough sea. They an succeeded in getting on the bottom of the boat; and one of the party, artery some time, with great pre settee of mind, leaned over her side and cut away the halyards and hainer—thus freeing her from her mast, and from a small anchor that bad tumbled out when she • capsized, and which bad firmly I grappled itself in the sand beneath. The boat was thus so far freed las to partially right herself. In consequence of theheavy surf their desperate situation was unperceived by any of the numerous yachts that lay at anchor a short distance front them. The boat continued to drive slowly towards the Antrim coast ; but at the expiration of about an hour, the poor boy Cooper became so weak that he drop ped off, unperceived by his companions, and sank to die no more! Prior to this i one of the young gentlemen had seized him by the foot as be was slipping into the water, and hauled him out again on the boat's bottom ; but be was too far exhausted to retain his bold. The boat was now so much lightened, that k drifted quicker towards land ; and after they bad bung on for up. 1 wards of two hours, they were perceived front White Abbey; and. a bdat put off to their assistance. They were found about half a mile from shore. in a most deplorable state, quite worn out, and I nearly blind. They' ere immediately put to bed in Air. William. son's, df White Abbey, ant treated with the greatest attention. In a few hours they were so far recovered u to be able to some to town in the evening. Thy body of the hey Cooper has one yet been found; be was an orphan. of excellent character, and was supported by an uncle. His anxiety was so great to go on this sailing trip, which proved so fatal to him, that he induced a servant belong fog to roue of the young Gentlemen to sit up during the greater part of the previous night, to Blush a check shirt, that he might appear properly rigged out on the occasion,—/eifeat News Letter. • Friday last, at ten o'clock its the evening. it was die. covered that the office of Messrs. Sterry, Tweed. and Steffy. rat Itoolosii. had been robbed of a rash-bcz, containing notes and cash to the amount of between 2004. and 3001. There was no appearance drily en trance by vitdrnt means; the windows of two of the 'offices leading into the coach-yard were found open, and underneath one of them, on the ground, the notes were found lying tied in a bundle; the cash.bnx was afterwards - found in the orchard adjoining, which ap peared to have been forcibly opened wit.'s a sharp in-- sir-omens ; the sum lost in cash was 4$ sovereigns and 20s. or 30s. in silver. A reward of 1001. was offered upon the conviction of the offender, and the assistance of Pendergrass, from Lambeth-street, was procured, hut no clue could be obtained until Wednesday night, when very suspicious circumstances appearing against Edward Riven, the butler in Mr. Sterry's employ, he was taken into custody, and was on Thursday examined at the Town Hall, Romford, before Thomas Mashiter, and E.

He also produced variety of articles which he found on searching the te sidence of the prisoner's wife, at Cbadwell Heath, some of which were positively sworn to by Mr. William Sterry as his property.

In consequence of this he was unable to meet his ins• mediate demands, and sold his goods at less than the cost price. In the December following he was declared a bankrupt, and hid not as yet obtained his,certi4cate. His opposing creditor sags bis,assignee, who had dealt with him very harshly. Mr. Coosa said the creditors did not belirve the story of the robbery, and intended shortly to being the circumstances before another tribunal. The Learned Counsel then went through the Insalvenes balance sheet minutely, and contended that they were defective, and i did not convey to the creditors the knowledge of the Insolvent's affairs which they ought to have done. Mr. Commissioner Bowan, atter ascertaining that the Insolvent's attorney had applied to Mr. Boyce, who refused access to the books, was of opinion that ;he In solvent could fi'e no better account, and he was there fore ordered to be discharged..
