The particulars have Arcady been stated. The act of trading on which thr eaibmission was grounded consisted dnly in the alleged, l bankrupt having made and sold Mitts on his pwn free hold estate. The question was, whether they brought i him within the Bankrupt Act es a trader ? His Lord ship now stated his opinion to be in the negative. He' said he was satisfied that it was not intended when the late Act passed, that it should extend to such cases as , this. If he had entertained any doubts upon the sub. jot% they would have been removed by a reference to , 111 r. Eden's Treatise on the Bankrupt Laws, in which it' • was expressly stated. that a man making bricks on his' awn land did not come within the provisions of the Act. It would be recollected that Mr. Eden was the franierl of the Act, and his authority was therefore, in a qua tints of this sort, entitled to some weight. Under the' , old Act it was clear that the peitioner could not have been made a bankrupt. for that spoke only of persons' who were tenants. The petitioner was the freeholder and owner of the estate on which the bricks were made. He was therefore of opinion, that the'commis ion could aot be supported. and ordered that it should be super. seded accordingly. VICR.CHANCRGLOR'S COURT, Jam 14. vir. sum NAV WALIIEWITON AN, MOW.

'COURT 01 1 KING'S BENCH, JULY 14. TIN RING AGAINST HALLETT AND OTHERS. This was an indictment aKainst Waitron Hallett, Thouuta Oliver, Zechariah ThompsoU, and Robert, Edward Richardson, charging them with haring col• spired to procure the issue of a fraudulent Commission Of Bankruptcy. itt order to cheat their creditors. The first count charged theta with conspiring together to defraud Charles Henderson, the elder ; and the second' charce.l them with the same offi.nce, in order to defraud Charles Henderson, the younger, and the partner of Hallett, out of his hair share of their joint effects. The ArroarszT.GaireaAr., Mr. GURKIT, and Mr. Easaturcotrducted the prosecution. The COMMON SeaoL%NT, Mr. Carrie, and . Mr. HuTcamor, conducted the defence. • __ Mr. Emus' having opened the pleadings, The ATTORNIY-GSWIRAL rose anti observed, that as, 'mid the clt fendanls, Robert Edward Richardson, had made some important diiclo.ures, which were likely to , promote the ends of justice, it was not bis intention to pursue the prosecution against him. Richardson was then acquitted and discharged. The ATTOKNIY.474ISRAI. then stated the nature of the prosecution. • . . The defendant Hallett, is an attorney, who carried on business in Northe atherland-street, New-road, Mary la-bonne, in partnership with a young man named Hen derson. When the partnership was formed, they put two hundred •and fifty pounds each into ttle concern, but finding that sum insufficient for the management of the business, they applied to the elder Haider eon, who consented to advance his son and Hallett n 4ival of six kanJusd pounds. upon the secerity of is warran t of. malmsey. mhich warrant, however, was writ to be ere cued for at lout six months afterwards, or without sufficient notice. The business, as menisci by Hallett. proved to be very successful; but it appealed that Hen derson lett the whole weight upu Hnflett, and from ill health and a disposition to pleasure, ti equently absented himself for a considerable time from the office, andre tired to the country. Hallett being displeased with these proceedings.. and - some altercation having taken place' respecting the drawing of money from 'their banker's, the elder Henderson proposed that the part nership should be dissolved upon certain conditions. Hallett, however, refused to consent to any conditions except the mete return Of the money which had been advincee, together with the two hundred and fifty pounds• pitted originally in the firm. Upon this ter- Mination of the negotiation, Mr: Henderson, the elder, pin an execution into the house . Of Hallett, on the au thority of the power of attorney, ilthOngh be bad de• dared his. intention not to demand the six hundred pounds until the .following February. This was on the 23d of December, 1826. Hallett, enraged at the course adopted by Mr. Henderson, then determined to recur* a Commission of Bankruptcy, for . the purpose, as it was expressed, of sweeping all off; but as the property of the firm, in available debts, had been ascertained to be, ' upwards of 3,376 i. and the whole of the debts, exclesive of the 6001. to be ender 1001. he telt a great difficulty. in procuring a petitioning creditor. By the advice of' Richardson, his clerk, he went to Croydon for the poi , pose of inducing Mr. Nicene, an attorney, with whom Richardson had formerly lived, to accept a check of 1001. and afterwards take kbill of exchange for that amount, in order to swear to the amount as a petition ing creditor under a Commission. Mr. Hiscox, how ever, refused to have any thing to do with it, and Haiku was ultimately obliged to give a bill of 1001. to Oliver, who was formerly a hackey-coachman, but who is now the landlord of the Wheatsheaf, in Camden Town. This bill, drawn and accepted by Hallett, in the name of Hann and Henderson, on the 29th of Decem ber, was dated on the 110th of &ober. A tailor, named Meanies, being procured to present it, and to swear to Haiku's refusal of payment, a Commission of Bank ruptcy was immediately sued out by Oliver. Mr. Hen derson. however, having received an intimation of what was going on. gave such information to the Commis sioners that they refused to proceed with this Commis sion against both parties, and after some time a Com mission was sued out against Hallett alone. Hiving confessed, however, to several persons that he did not owe 304 in the world, and the whole business appearing to be concerted for the purpose of defeating the effect of the execution, which had been put into the house by Mr. Henderson, the present prosecution was instituted against all the parties, for a conspiracy to defraud the creditors of the estate. Mr. Charles Henderson, the partner of Hallett, proved that the property of the firm had been remitted, and that the debts due to than were fiend to he 5.3761. Racept the sum due to bis fattier, they did om ow* 1001. Hallett bad been In business before the commencement of the partnership, and their aksirs bed been con ducted prosperously. He had been obliged to go out of town se veral um, on account of ill health. He knew Thompson to be carrying en the benison of a plasterer in the New Road. and he believed be was Indebted to the firm fir a sum of about 3044. This witness roved the original terms of the partnership, tbsberrowing ' of the money, and the quarrels respecting the dissolution, previous to and after the exrcutiou was pot into the house of Hallett. Xe. Hiscox recollected Richardson and Hallett coming to hie Woes at Croydon, and giving him an intimation that they wanted him to be the petbioning creditor. He expressed to them his :do. tetaaleiatios not to have say Wag to d. with it.' _The Commission was sued out Is hit same aa atturaey, bat he had sever gives soy authority fre..o* VC, .Rlebardsos kad-fletw a 4rSt_, ol years ago, but ho lid not implOyed Hallett, upteithrt:oestaides. sty Het et** is Ordplieita fhf • being wholly 104‘441111!0 him before &aerial.. :William Menzies, a tailor; living in Chartire.streetiAdary.la bonne,presented a bill for ypaybaent at one home of Hallett; it wall for lOW. and drawn by z am b e dab Thompson, upon thirfirm of I Hallett and Henderson, and accepted by Hallett. in the name of the firm.

" Young man, you did Dot call upon in. as you promised, to get back the ;" and he replied, "No. we Mee al tered our plans." This witness was present at the attempt to prove the C.ommissies, and bore testimony to the fact of all the patties being present. Os his crospexaminatlon he admitted having been in custody for debt a great many times, but never confined within the walls of a prison. . Henry Berridge was a clerk in the employment of Hallett and Henderson. He swore to the fact of Hallett having asked him to I swear to the denial of" Heittlerson, for the purpose of supporting the Comadmies against the partners, and that he refused to do so. He was afterwards Asked to swear to the denial of Hallett. which he did. Mr. Bailey Fez, a grocer, proved a debt under the Commit ion hoed against the 'separate estate of Hallett. Haiku was very angry with hint for offering that proof. He asked Hallett however. weep they were in the Cbmrn4.iuoers Court. in Basinehall-wreet, who. tber he would say that be really owed one hundred pounds to any of the people about him (mousing Thaalpaoo, Oliver, and the others), and he replied, that be did not owe twenty pounds in the world, except what was due to witness, if a •balance was wreck between hint and the partnership. Witness. however, tho* be was in their debt. __— A Partner, and a Clerk of the house of Ransom and Co. where Hallett and Henderson kept cob, were then called to prove that the 1001. bill drawn by Thompson was taken away, and the wean paid upon it before it wm due. Richardson was then called, for the purpose of beating testimony to the connivance ot all the defendants in the attempt to procure the Conmiission of Bankruptcy against the firm. He recollected 1 the drawing ot the bill, dated the with of October, and he was coo. I orient that it was written on tie ,th of December; because, when it was brought to him, in order that he might write the notice of leaving it at the house, the ink was not quite dry. The body of the bill was in the handwriting or Hallett. lice signature et the eta dorsement was in the handwriting ot Thompson. This witness clearly proved that Oliver and Thompson were promo in the at tempt to procure the Consanalon„ and that ditty mini the whole of the transaction. He also proved that Hallo os declared be ow little or nothing, except a auk or two to his tailor. The CoMmon Selina* ti: then addressed the Jury for the defendants, and admtred that be could not stand up to excuse the act of which Hallett bad been guilty. He thoughtohowever, that there was much in the case sib ch might be urged in palliation of his conduct, and particularly dwelt upon the fact, that there was no in tention to defraud a single creditor of his just demand. The whole might be ascribed to the : violation of the pledge which the elder Henderson bad given, not to demand his money until Vcbruary. It was not at all wonderful, therefore, that the defendint, smarting under the . effect of the execution, and foreseeing the consequent:lain of his business, if that execution was' carried into effect,. should adopt means, which he did not pretend to justify,io palliate its effects. The refusal 'to consent to Henderson's conditions for the dissolution of the partnership, was perTectly defensible—Henderson had done nothing tosiarchtthe erection of the very profit. able business in which they were engaged. He had been absent or sick, Mr. Hallettwas ueite right in refusing to consent to any thing but the repayment of what be had put into the concern. The Learned Gentleman then again adverted upon the impropriety of bringing the case into that Court, when there was a proceeding be• fore the Lord Chancellor to try the validity of the com mission ; and contended, that the question as to the fraudulent nature of the transaction, could be only tried there. He Concluded by some observations upon the nature of the evidence as applying to Thompson and Oliver, and expressed 'an opinion that the participation was not, at &events, tirade out sufficiently clear against Thompson. Lord TauTeanspf soothed up at tome length, and reminded the Jury, in answer to the objection of the Learned Comtdon Sergeant, that although that Court could nut' determine the validity of the Commission, it was its peculiar - province' to punish the Commission of crime. His Lerriship, after going over the evidence, left it to the Javy - to say whether a guilty connivance was not proved against all the defendants? The Jury immediately pronounced all the defendants Guilty. When they were brought into Court by the Officer, Mr. Cnrery intimated a disposition to .give .bail for their appearance when 'called upon, but Lord pall declared his deteimination to commit them imme-' diately, and they were committed accordingly.—The , sittings of the Court at Westminster were then adjourned till the 29th of October. • His LORDSHIP bears causes at Guildhall on Monday ;this day), and the following days of the present sittings. COURT OP COMMON PLEAS, JCaT 14. ralCa O. THWAITZII. This was an action for a libel on the plaintiff, con. tamped in the publication of a brief report in the Morn ing Hera d, of a case in the Exchequer, in which the Plaintiff had brought an action against the Swaday Times, for the manner in which his name had been in troduced., in a police report. charging him with drun kenness and disorderly conduct in the streets. To the present action it was set up as a justification, that the report of what - passed in the Exchequer was perfectly. Correct. • Mr. Sergeant WILDE, for the plaintiff, stated, that this was an action brought by Mr. Price, a Gentleman at the Bar , against the defendant, the Proprietor and Editor of the Morning Herald newspaper, for a libel in that paper calculated so do very serious injury. to the plaintiff. This was not the first action brought on ac count of the same libel. An action on the same ground bad been brought by the same plaintiff against the same defendant, and in that action the plaintiff had re covered One Hundred Pounds damages. Mr. Thwaites had been ready enough to make the charge against the tefendant, for which that action was brought ; but he did not think it necessary to publish this vindication of bis own character by the plaintiff. and he accordingly suppressed the report of that action. Other tlewspapers, following the example of the Morning Her s taken notice of the same charge against the plaintiff, but not in quite the same manner, making it rather a matter of. ridicule than any thing else, and Mr. Price brought an action against the Sunday Times. That action was defended by Mr. Brougham, who, as they all traew, l was particularly well qualified to throw ridieele ern any transaction which was susceptible cf ft. if be thought it for the benefit of his client that be should do so. In that case there was a justification, but the Jury found for the plaintiff, thereby negativing theeliarges; but, as the libel was somewhat differently cast from that in the Morning Herald, they only gave one Arbil ling*damages. Mr. Tbwaites, who had_aoppressed the verdict for 1001. against himielf, Newel; to tile some sq vela. on oecealenittftivii *Ming damages. and 4ffer preteniiisf a repoff elf the`trial of that epee in.the Exchequer. puhlidstd hie libel for which the present action was brought; so that the . Jury would observe the spirit and systeni of these libel*, and be trusted they would give . heavy damages, to deter the 4foraing Herald from patikeviring in this course. The circumstances of the case were tbeve r Mr. Price hap pellet to be inur•iing home late at night, and having oc casion to relieve himself from a person.] incoanniecee, he turned tp a wall foe that parpose,when he was as be. . a watchman, who said that he had no business so to do at that place. Mr. Price thinking this swim proper interference, desired the watchman to go about his bushess. They then, however, went to the watch house, and the watchman gave in a charge, bet ink that which had been stated by the Marring Herald, which stated that Mr. Price had exposed his person indsce.itty to two females. It was a great misfortune, even to an innocent man, to have such charges brought against him; and Mr. Price, feeling greatly distressed, brought his action, as b:forementioned, and recovered 100 k damages. One would have thought, that if Mr.Thwaites had been inadvertently led into error. he would have been glad to mike rep irainn by publishing the acquit tal of Mr. Price. But no such thin,.. Cars was taken bat the readers of that Paper should not know bow unfounded the charge was. The present libel was con tained in an' account of the trial in the Exciseman, and it began in this manner—" An action was brought by man of t e name of Price."-.This was net the usual respectful style adopted when speaking of Gentlemen of the learned profession. The libel then went on to repeat the charges of being dt unken and disorderly ni che streets, and exhibiting his person indecently to two lemalei. He was instructed to say, that this latter part was entirely groundless and erroneous, as no.charge had bren made against Mr. Price for exposing himself indecently to females. They said that their report was fair; but he denied that it was fair, and he denied his Learned Friend A prove it. The Mirefeas iferebt of the sad and ride Fabreary, were thee esate.ssit hamiLmapp ease the arid revert et the Encheieer rem whisk inn plea libel le geeeden. r Mr. Sergeant %Los remarked, that there vas there a refeleace to the Vagrant Act, and to the insulting two females; Qantas, in point of fact, tie watchman was asked whether Mr. Price intended to insult females? and the answer was, that he did not think he did. Mr. Sergeant T.IIDoI (with whom was Mr. Sergeant &maxis) for the defendant--his. Learned Friend had Wily stated, that the plaintiff. Mr. Price, was a banister. esid be could net help wishing that all bat risters, who gave good counsel to others, should be as able to do so be themselves. it had been said that— Gi wise rites e'er freemen, shoeld Wand be free." Bat Doctor Johnson had objected to this, and observed that it might at well be said, thet— a' Who drives fat earn;stralsid Isitarelf be fat." His Learned Friend bad dwelt as the gist of the charge, upon the allegation that the plaintiff indecently exposed his person to females. That was not the charge, but that two females were standing at the time at the neigh. bouring door. Mr. Price, however, thinking it a point of law thit he should be at liberty to relieve himself where he pleased, had betaken himself to a door or an area, and when challenged by the watchman, had agreed to go to the watchhouse, probably in order to have the Magistrate's decision upon the point. If these was no. thing about females in the watchhouse books, there was at least, that Thomas Robinson, the watchman, charged John Thomas (which was the name Mr. Price gave in), with being drank and disorderly in the streets, and indecently exposing his person. Perhaps the plaintiff belonged to a country where the people were said to be choleric and fond of cheese, end he that was wilful and angry would be pugnacious; and he that ate cheese and drank cyder would be pressed in a certain way. The plaintiff brought his action against the Morning Herald for the police report of this transaction, and recovered, as they had been already informed, 1004 damages. He afterwards brought an action against the Sanday lister, and reentered one shil ling. This proceeding against the Sunday Tines was noticed in the Morning Herald; and the only question was, whether the account there given of it was substan tially correct? The present prticeeding was a kind of new nisi, in order to ascertain whether the 1001. da mages or the shilling damages was the most propel? His Learned - Friend bad remarked on the-expression, " a man of the name of Price,7 and appeared to think it was an imputation on the defendant. t .at he had not described him as " George -Price, Bsq. Barrister at Law." • That was done in mercy to Mr. Price; for if 'a MO of lit r.nk conducted himself in this manner, the less be was srsken cf 'as a Barrios, the better. The account published in the Morning Herald was perfectly fair, except that it was mentioned that there were two females present, which was not charged ac the watchhouse. But then that circumstance was alluded to at the Bow-street Office, if not entered in the book there. The paper did not affect to say that be exposed his person for the purpose of insulting the females. It would beim the Jury to say, whether the Morning Herald had lowered the plaintiff in the eses of his friends or the public, and whether it could lower hies more than be had lowered himself. The Alarming Herald had done him no injury...he had only perse vered in injuring himself by bringing the present actkin. If a person did commit himself in this menace, he must take the consequences. He remembered to have heard that a certain person took it into. bk. to go to a masquerade in the character OP a mile -stone, and a Gentleman thought proper to perform against him the same operation as thE plain. tiff had done against the, door, or in the area—(A laugh.) For this the mile-stone brought an action, and the Gentleman justified—maintaining, that as the plaintiff there had made himself a mile-stone, be - waa entitled to use him as such: Some people certainly were more fastidious than others about these matters; and they might recollect, that by the account of n eels heated Book of Travels, a certain Lady was not very teal pleased at an exhibition of this kind.
