They contained many erasures and intierlineations; which she was enabled to detect froni baring. been _the. person who kept her fa. ther's books. The affidavit also stated that one of the hooks, or a part of it.*as composed of paper, the water •"frocrlc of which bore the datelof 1824, while, in fact, all the concerns of•the partnership ceased in 1821 and 1822. Upon this affidavit an attachment issued against • 'the defendant. Mr. SUODICH now moved that the attachment shou3d to removed. He did not mean at that time to-enter, into the merits of the case.' He had 'alormal objectich be had no doubt the Court would con i which n I to take, w der fatal to the continuance of the attachment. 1 1 s. Best's affidavit was sworn on the 13th of October; and .in this affidavit she swore that the examination which. she made of the books took place on the 31st of Octo ber—that was to say, that she exair•ined the books, after' she had made her affidavit respecting the nature and content, of them. The affidavit, therefore, was upon the face of it untrue; and if an attachment had' issued, upon such an affidavit, it ought not to continue after' ' Ois defect in the affidavit was pointed out to the Courr.j • Mr. MEAL!), cn the other side, contended trust no Court of Equity. would allow such an advantage to be taken rf an evident mistake—an error, rrobably, of the transcriber of Mrs. Best's affidavit. Mrs. Best examined the books on the 31st of August, and by an unfortunate error somewhere the word October hadbeen written in . the a ffi iavit instead of August. He was quite sure that the Curt would not reject the whole ,of an affidavit, especially an affidavit charging such glass fraud both on the Court and on the plaintiff ; ou account of a mere clerical error. The VICA•CHANCIILLOR thought the objection fatal,l • The jealousy with which any infringement on the li berty of the subject had .alvrays.heen contemplated by • all Courts, both of Law and Equly, was notorious. For his own part,.he should eertainly never have issued an attachment, and he therefore found himself corn • pelted to remove it. lie did not mean to insinuate any ,thing like moral guilt against Mu. Bed. The fact on :.which the objection had been taken might, and proba -: bly was, a mistake; but when so serious a consequence 'tits an attachment resulted from an affidavit, the person making such affidavit ought to be very careful what het -ideposed, and ought not to be protected if he made any' _Mistakes. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, %snarl's's, Nov. 1. NEWMAN V. SMITH AND OTHERS.

The Learned Counsel, in support of his motion, stated, that this was an action of trespass, tiied at the last Assizes for Sussei before Mr. Justice Gaselee. The de. Pendant pleaded liberum tenementum, and the question in issue between the parties was, whether the locus. in quo was Public or private property: On the part of the defend ints, who had given evidence of various acts o: occupation by the public, such as the place haring been, used by blacksmiths fur the ptirpose of shoeing unruly horses, a witness was called, avid-be having upon his' examination on the •ooir'dire admitted that he had a wager of ss. upon' the result of the cause, his evidence was rejected by the Learned Judge, and a verdict was found for the plaintiff', plincipay in consequence of the rejection of the evidence of t!.is witness.

Lord TENTVIIDEN—Take a Role to shew eau*. CRIMINAL INFORMATION. M THE SING V THE REV. JAMES ROBERTS. Mr. Gi maims moved for a rule, calling upon the defendant, who is a Justice of the Peace for the county of Wan wick, to show cause why a criminal information should not be filed against him for having oppressively, corruptly, and unlawfully, exercised his authorityot Magistrate ? Prom the aflidavit,s of the prosecutor, John Mason, and other persons, it appeared that about seven o'clock in the evening of the NA of August last, the prosecu tor, who is, a an in a humble, station in life, was ap prehended upon two warrants granted against him by the defendant. The warrants directed the constable therein named to bring the body , of Mason before the defendant, to answer two charges preferred against him by two . persons named Joyce and King—namely, that tie prosecutor's dog had . killed some turkies, the pro petty of Joyce and King. The prosecutor was kept in custody all night, and on the icill.) ! ving morning he was taken to the defendant's house at Hai tshill, where he saw the defendant, who told him that he must pay Prthwith to Joyce and King the sum of 31. 1.2, fur the turkies which his dog had killed. Masan said that he knew nothing about• the .transaction, and 'bat ; he should not pay the money unless Joyce. and /Pug: would produce the turkies and witnesses to prove filet. his dog had killed them. The defendant then oak' the depositions of Joyce and King, and of King's daughter ; but in neither of those depositions was it stated that Mason was present when his dog killed the turkies, and he in his affidavit stated posi- Aisely that he did not .know his dog had killed the turkies, that he was nivtpresent when they were killed, and that he was not in any way privy to the transac tion, The depositions having been signed, the d fend ant threatened to send Mason to gaol if he could not find meet es for his .appearance at the Sessions ; and Mason having tendered sureties, his recognizances to the amount of WE and two sureties in 101' each, were entered intoliss his appearance to answer those charges at the Sessions. Mason asked the defendant to give him in writing a statement of the charges preferred against him; but the defendant refust d to do so, and said" You will not want it, you will make it up before the Sessions. I shall take the recognizances in my pocket to War wick." Mason a..ked the defendant it there was any thing to be paid? and the defendant replied, " Yes, eight gam" Mason said; " That is too much, will not 4s. be enough?" To which the defend ant repl'ed, " Bs. is the money, and I shall take nothing less." Mason thin paid the defendant Bs. and the com plainants, Joyce and King, paid him 175., There was no clerk in the room, nor did the defendant say that the money.which he d emanded, and which he actually put „ . into his pOtket, was for clerks' fees. The charges - Car ing been ibbillispoted of, Mr.ltoberts told Mason that an iiiforMation had been lodged against him, by King, under the statute of Anne, for keeping a lurcher ( lie dog in question). arid employing him to kill and defray' game.

Mr. Armstrong stated that be bad spoken to: a professional Gentleman, 'who was 'not able then .to attend, and that he .till expected to be able t. bring forward some further. evidence ; he .therefore .wisbed the case to stand over until tn-morrow. After some argument, at the sugges tion of Mr. Adolphus, it was agreed that the Defendant should appear again whenever he should receive two or three days' notice, and enter into his own recognisance to do so. The skopman was discharged. - - - BOW-STREF:T. A young man of tither gentlemanly address, bet whose coat and minters bore evident Marks of a receut•roll hi tie mud, was placed at the bar under the following whimsical eiramsetance*: JOllll Gallway stated,, that he was brother to Mr. George Gallway, of York•street, Covent-garden, who trades in his\ whisky. On Tuesday evening; - about seven o'cloek, he was in his brother's shop, when the prisoner, whom heluainever Men to his knowledge before, came lo g and asked to•ice owne.seroples of Irish whisky. A few .aamples were accordingly sea before bin, he ordered three gallons of a particular description to be sent to the re silence of Thomas Spitnre Eaq. of Biker-street; Portman square ; and from what he salt 4, the witness believed hint to be that person. The priisoner,afseroume farther conversation its which be mentioned the li:sines - of several distingpishr4persons, w hose par tiality for Irish whisky, he said, was equal to his own,requested leave to go into the Parkisir, and asked the witness to oblige him with tome whisky and a little cold water, adding, "I Wish to try the flavour of your whisky. lost it would not be dedorous, you know, for a man In my station to be seen drinking in a shop." The wit ness complied wi:b this request, introduced the prisonerto the par lour, and provided him with about a pint and a half of rasp• berry whisky in a bottle, sit& some cold water and sugar. One or two Gentlemen then came into the shop, and the wit. n.ss went to serve them. On returning to the parlour:in about a quarter of an hour, he saw the prieutier sitting on a couch looking very stupid and queer. Suspecting the cause, and yet hardly crediting his senses, he turned his eye to the whisky bottle, and saw that it contained a vet y small quantity iedeed, although when he left it with the.prisoner it was nearly full. Tne prisoner rose up as well as he was able, stammered out something in praise of thewhisky, and promised to draw a large connssion to his brother's shop. He , again mentioned the nettle of several high personages with whom he was quite famitur, and observed that •he "eat sure hi; cousin, Sir John Burke, who was particularly attached to Irish whisky whenever he could get the genuine article, would order ten gallons at least for hie private drinking. The prisoner said his own name was Thomas Spring Rice, and added, they have made me Under Secretary of Site lately much against my will I assure you.
