This was an action to try the *allay of a commission of bankruptcy sued out against the plaintiff in the year 1829; and undet which the defendant had beenaubse: quently appointed one of the assignees. The plaintiff, it appeared, was a serge manufacturer, carrying on be.. susess at Buckfastleigh, near Ashburton, in the county of Devon; and during his absence from homefor the purposes of his trade, and in consequence of an illness occasioned by an injury received from the overturning of a coach, the commission in question, it was alleged, had been maliciously issued against him. For the defence, evidence was produced, proving that he was greatly indebted to the house of Sir Jahn Price ended. that they had repeatedly applied to him in vain for payment, and that an application being made at his residence, the only answer that could be obtained from his sister or his clerk was, that he was Item home, that they did not know where he was, but that he would back in a week or ten days. Several letters found in his counting house after the issuing of the comm.sion were then read, shewing the numerous demands he bid upon him for money, and that his bills and , draughts had been dishonoured. It was also roved that on pay ment of a particular debt being demanded, he promised at a time and place then appointed to meet the witness in order to discharge it, but that tie never attended for that purpose. The Lose CUM' JUSTICE expressed his opinion that that hs Itself was an act of bankruptcy, and the case was there at an end.—The plaintiff was accordingly minsinteiL WTI AND, AGIOEMZE. GSSIGNEED, P. SCUMMED sup •NOTTIM This was an action biought by the assignees of Heary Trollop, to recover a ieniuneratiiin for the introduc by the bankrupt, of an Improved process for ref sugar in the defendints' manufactory. ' Mr. &arum (with whom were Mr. Bqounnulias ' and Mr. PATTESON) stated the plaintiff's case, and called Mr. Trollop, who proved his introduction of the new principle, and that improvements were effected by it to the amount of between .3,0001.• and 4 1 0001. per year, in addition to the defendants' profits in their business as sugar refiners, previous to the bankrupt's connexion with them. I The Loan Cum JUSTICZ suggested that the amount of the damages could be better aseeitainei by a tele rence to a Gentleman at the Bar, in which the Counsel en both sides concissred, end a veidict was then given for the plaintiffs for 10,0001. subject to the award of Mr. Reader.

The first *tack was noon the Fe 4.11, which briPel,y defended by some companies of the 9th regiment: of . infantry, commanded by (:captains Jose Luiz de 11.ito, Duarte de SA Ozorio, and feenteriasst Jtise Brandao de Castro, a hich 'companies stets' sup ported by some chasseurs Nd. 12. Major Le ipol xr 'says, the Marque, was at the same time ordered to occupy the bridge of the Arco,- and the tear, of Us, tebels being thus thecateuedohey were beaten and dm pers:d. The rebels left behind five killed and 16 pri soners, and our soldiers had some wounded. Colcroel Zagallo gives the greatest praise to all the troops that he commanded. 'lite inhabitants of Haitian afFnsled the most generous assistance to all the soldiers who o e e engaged on that day. The Marquis de Angeja says, that Colonel Zagallo, who directed those movements,' deserves peat praise. g , The Matqois de Angeja writes front his head quarters' at' Braga, on the 26th, saying, that having ordered General Jose Correa de 'Mello to cause some reconnoisances to be made - on the roads leading to the different points on the line of the Tamego, they were made on the 24th. Major Antonio de Goutrea e concelloz marched with sixty men to Telhldo by Quembro : this force of thi 21st regiment of foot, united _ _ with a detachment of Chasieurs. No. 10, defeated in that direction large corps of guerillas, who left four 'dead no the 'field, and fife prisoners including an En ' sign. The whole corps merited the commendations of its commanders. Captain Ozorio, who advanced by othe road ol Montealgie, beat in Paradella another gue. tilla, from which he took some provisions and horses,dtc. • The detachmerts which marched between the Salto and Caves also mrt with several guerillas, which they repulsed and defeated. The 12th regiment of Infantry behaved bravely in these action,. • I'he Tame General continues, saying, that the regi ments of militia of the province of Tras-os-Montes, having repassed the Douro, and the guerillas .being almost as numerous as the population, the movement of General Mello could not be made with the rapidity that was desired. Colonel Ignacio Pereira, of the Regiment of Ore se, has approached the frontier with his guerilla, where he saw a great many Portuguese rebels in almost all of this province of Minho, some Spanish forces having ap proached Ilia frontiers of the same province.. "General Azeredo writes on the 27th from Toddella, which he es:tered the same day, the vanguard of the rebels having retired from k , after having plundered some houses in the town. The same General writes that he had information that the corps of the rebels was retiring ftom Viseu by the read of Mangualde. • . 8 To-morrow (says the same General) I continue my march towards Viaeu, and thence I shall follow the re treat of the rebels, it not being possible to overtake them unless they stop in some position, because they are five 'leagues in advance of me. ' Count de Villa Flor writes from Ganda, of the 25th of this month, announcing his march to Celorico as the beginning of further operations. The same Ge neral wrote on the 94th, that the Militia of Lamego and Miranda, united with 40 Chasseurs and 40 horsemen of different corps, and some Guerillas, endeavoured to oppose bts entrance into Guarda, but they were coura geously beaten by the battalion of the Ist Regiment of Foot and Chasseurs No. 6, flying precipitately in the direction' of Almeida. The 'forge of the rebels was commanded by Viscount de Mutellos, President of the Junta established in Guarda. 1 have learnt,' says the Count, that Almeida was in the hands of the rebels, and from all that I have learnt respecting this affair, I conclude that the fall of that place was owing to the illness of General Pego, and still mare to the disloyal conduct of Colonel Eiezeario, of the 10th Regiment of Cavalry. Magessi was at Almeida; Tellis JorJao at Ausur. Guarcia was nearly deserted, a great part of the inhabitants having left it with the rebels, and ethers being obliged, like them, to do so.
