Some time since a memorial was addremed to Lord HM from the Licensed Victuallers of Chester, complaining of having bad their houses filled witkeoldlers during the late Musical Festival in that city. This memorial was accompanied by a representation from the Mayor and Magistrates, requesting to know bow they ' should act in future, in eases where a party was liable to have sal. diets - hilletted upon him, but was absolutely without acafisimoda tions for their reception. The following letter has been emitted iii reply 'rum Sir Henry Harding.:— '• War .oflice, 26th Oct. 1629. '• Gentlemen,-11aving read with attention the Memorial of the imikeepers of the City of Chester, addressed to Lord and re ferred by It's .Lurdship for my consideration, I find, upon con sulting the legal opinions that have been formerly given upon the hillettitig of officers and soldiers, and those very recently taken upon the same subject, that they all agree in maintaining that the innkeeper is hound to provide accommodation in his own house for the .fficers and men quartered upon him, and that he does not exempt himself from the penalties of the 61st clause of the Mu tiny Act, in finding proper lodgings elsewhere; or by the payment of any sum in commutation for his liability to provide what the law directs on this head. _ _ . " Upon the right of the officers and men to claim what they have demanded there can be no doubt, as their claim is in con tormity with the intention of the Legislature, and the established usage of the service, and it might occasion eniberrasement if it were left to the option of the innkeeper to decide upon what de scription of lodging should be considered a proper substitution of accommodation for the officers of his Majesty's service; although there can be no objection to make such arrangements, either for the officer or the soldier, provided the option be left with the military, who, baying a legal right, can alone decide whether they can with propriety forego that right; and I, therefore, can not consent to qualify or abridge their right, however ikluus I may be that good feeling, and a disposition to act courteously to wards the civil portion of the community, should at all times cha racterise the British officer and soldier. _ " I am. Gentlemen. " Your most obedient humble servant. - " H. HARDING& " To the Mayor and Magistrates of the City of Chester." From the "ipmvich Journal.

On Wednesday se'nnight, evidence was beard on the prosecution of the charges against Lieutenant 'Hely, of the 7th Dragoon Guards They were in effect as follows :—That Lieutenant Hely, an Officer of the 7th Dragoon Guards, had, between the 6th of November, 1888, and the 10th of July; 1929, contracted a debt of £3B 171. 2d. on account of mess, with William Hyem, mess-man to the Regiment; which debt he, the said Lieutenant Hely, bad neglected to dischaege, though frequently applied to so to do.-2. That the said Lieutenant Hely had borrowed of Thomas Sage, waiter at the Great White Horse Tkvern, on the 22th of June last, the sum of £lO, which sum he, the said . Vent. Hely, had, in violation of his promiseneilentitto pity:—.3. That the said Lieut. Hely had given *ideas Mib ofenhange for money to a non-com missioned ofiker b via. —Paymuter 'Sergeant James Gauky, of the 7th Dragoon Guards, some of which were returned unpaid, the being no funds or assets for the payment of the same, by means whereof and for roomy lent between May, 026, and April. 1229, a balance of about 474 has become due to the said Paymaster, which the said Lieut. Hely has neglected to pay, although fre quently applied to for the same ; and the said balance is now due and unsatisfied to the said Paymaster Gauley: with the exception of the sum of it 4s. which has since been received, viz. on the234l . of June last, from Troop Sergeant Robinson. Such conduct on the part of the said Lieutenant Hely being disgraceful and unbecom. ing the character of a gentlemao, and In breach of the regulations of the service. William Hyena and James Gauley pve evidence in support of the first and second charges ; they stated the balances had become due from running accounts, that they had always found Lieut. Hely highly boootwable in his money transactions, and had given him credit to a large amount, but that latterly hearing the Lieut. had claims upon him, they had made frequent applications for their debt, and had not been able to obtain It. In suppykof the 24 charge. Joseph Sage stated that on the 48th of June, fn •the after. noon. Lino. Hely went to the White Horse, and borrowed a 101. note, which he, witness, carried to him; he considered himself accountable to his master for the note, and had, but in vain, made application for payment. kin. Brooks stated that she bad written to Lieut. Hely, requesting hint to pay the ten pounds to the last witness. Mr. Brooks considered the money as due to himself.— The Court was occupied in receiving evidence on these charges till two o'clock on Thursday • and when it was concluded, Lieut. Ilely immediately commented his defence, and in a short me dium stated that he should not long have trespassed on the time of the Court, had not the charges been such as to affect his future prospects in life ; his integrity and honour had been Impeached. and he had been denied, till this occasion, an opportunity of vindi cating his conduct ; that opportunity bad now arrived, of which be was truly rejoiced. His name had stood high at the Horse Guards, and honourable mention of him had been made in six successive Genattel, no small proof of the estimation in which he washeld. - The debt was not contracted in the mess-roem, al. though be was a metaberof it, and was therefore oo Infringe ment of the mess regulations ; and he called on the Court to bear Ii mind, that, as Riding -master. he only received his pay by the lull year. Hyem, the nwuman, was, re-called, and on Isis exa mination by Lieutenant Hely, or reference to retrospective ac counts, he said be had always been satisfied with Lieut. Hely', payment, and had given him credit for five and six moo ts, without receiving any payment. Lieut. Hely here observed. that it was an locomistent and contradictory statement to affirm that frequent application had been made, what five months had not elapsed. Hyem had found him in ditfinakies, and had reported him to his Commanding lacer. With regard to the second charge. On the time in question, about four o'clock in the afternoon, be chanced to pass the Post-office. when he suddenly recollected he bad a remittance to send to York ; he had not a suldcient sum in his pocket, and, therefore. went to the White Hone. and sent his name to Mr. Brooks. r eq uesting the loan of £lO ; the waiter brought it him, but he did not consider the money due to the waiter, and therefore did not pay him. He produced a receipt, signed by Mrs. Brooks, for the £lO, which was settled a few days after it was borrowed. With regard to the last charge—Lieut. Hely observed, that when he entered the regiment, he found Ser geant Gauley In the confidence of every *Meer in it, and he em ployed him in the capacity of an agent, as other takers did ; he bad been charged with having given various bills of cecinas', without having 'sans to meet the same, and some bids on Green wood and Co. had been cited as proofs of this charge. In answer to this he stated, that when his regiment was in Ireland, his father died—an order from the Treasury for money payable to his father, was received by him, which he considered was his imme diately after his father's death; he paid it into the hands of Messrs. Greenwood and Co. bankers in London, and soon after Guilty came to hint and asked him for three bills of exchange, which were given him ; but a few days before those bills became due, be (Lieut. Hely) received intimation, that if he touched the money due upon the order, in consideration of which the bills were drawn, he would do so at his peril, it not being properly made over to him.— The bills were out, and he could not tell in whose hands they were, and stop the holders from presenting them; and there fore, he wrote to Greenwood and Co. requesting them to dis honour the bills—they did so—and he, when they wore returned to him, immediately paid two; and Gauley, the Sergeant, with out acquainting him, paid the third. Could this, he asked the, Court, be called dishonourable' This statement wis supported by written documents, and by the evidence of Gauley. By Unlatch,. sion of Gauley, it appeared that he had at one time 1601. of Lieu tenant Hely's cash in his own bands. Lieutenant Hely observed; Gauley could have paid himself with it, but as there were other prior claims upon that money, he considered it the more honour able course to discharge these claims, instead of paying himself. Gauley was satisfied with his (Lieut. Heiy's) conduct, upon his as surances—first, of receiving his appointments in case of his leaving the regiment; but when he understood there was no probability of his or doing, he was satisfied with a promise of payment which be (Lieut. Hely) promised to send from London ;that promise be had been unable to fulfil in consequence of some billepayable to his order having passed into bad hands before be received the money due upon them. After making great empairies,and subjecting biassed* aspenele of upwards of £4OO. he found the holders of his bills, (of -410(1 4 ' earls) one in the Fleet, the other in the King's Bench ; soder throe ' circumstances be was cheated and Gawks disappointed. He con sideted it a piece of injustice that the charges against him bad been put into his Mode without his having received intimation of them, as, had he known of the last charge by Gauley, be wooki, as he had since done, have reduced his charge to 492. He never treely borrowed money of Guar!, but only had transactions with him as an accredited agent, and Gauley could speak to his never having issued bills seithouthavitor reasonablegrounds for supposing they would be taken up. • When Lieut. Hely dubbed his defence; which was on biondayobe Dcputy Judge Advocate requested the' adjournment of the Den tiliWitdonday last,.to give him time to rept, an meter. ' It was granted ; and on Wednesday the De puty Judge Odeon* contended. that Lieutenant Hely had not refuted either strement of frequent applications for money having been made to him in sin. He referred to some written documents respecting the bills drawn on Greenwood and Co. and Abided to a letter (which 'be did Dot produce) mut by Hewn. Greenwood to.Lieuttnant Hely. to inform him they mold ace pay his bills of exchange. He likewise referred to the other bills of AVM each. stating, that it did not appear how Lieutenant Hely was the loser by them as they were drawn by a Lieutenant Bulwer ; and there was no evidence that Lieutenant Hely bad paid any law apogees. An assignment of pay had likewise been made by the Lieutenant, In which neither Hyetn's nor Gauley's account were included. Lieutenant Hely haling obtained an adjournment of half an hour, in reply to the Deputy Judge Advocate's statement. said that he never remembered the letter in question being sent to him ; and as other correspondence from Mesas. Greenwood had been pro duced in evidence, It was strange that this letter, (if it had been sent to him—of which be bad no recollection) was not likewise produced, as it most materially affected the case. With regard to the bills being drawn by Lieut. Balwer, be informed the Court, that he bad considered himself so far responsible for them that be had made over the greater part of his pay to Lieutenant Balser, in liquidation of them. He greatly objected to statements being referred to of things which occurred after the charges were oat &gales' him, and which had no connection with them. The Court closed at three o'clock on Wednesday. The decision of the Court will not be made public until his Ma jesty has been pleased to signify his wW that the circumstances which have led to the inquiry be made known to the army.

His HONOVII came into Court this morning at the usual hour, and after delivering judgment in a case of no Importance, proceeded with the causes which stood'on the paper of the day. Eight or ten were called on, and no Counsel appearing they were ordered to be struck at. A ease of no interest having been then argued for two or three hours, the remaining causes on the paper were called, and no Counsel appeering, they also were ordered to be struck *IL His Honour having asked if any motion was to be made by the Gen tlemen of the Bar, and being answered is the negative, immediately rose and left the Court at half-past one. Several of the King's Counsel, and the Gentlemen without the Bar, complained loudly and vehemently of the practice of striking out cases, which was, in the present instance, so rigidly adhered to, and reminded the Court of the course followed by his prede cessors, when causes were taken as Counsel were ready, without reference to their position in the paper. COURT OF KING'S BENCH,—Nov. 7. Sittings in Banco. ROILINSON e. w OVIR. This action was tried at the last sittings for Middlesex, and was brought by the plaintiff, the owner of the Auction Man for the sale of horses, in Little Britain, to recover a debt owing to him by the defendants, the stage-coach proprietors, carrying on business at the Swan with Two Necks, Lad-lane. The defence was, that the plaintiff had agreed to accept a composition within a month, and that the tender to that effect bad been made. The question therefore was, whether or not ft was a lunar or a calendar month ? Lord TIDITRILDLN tried the cause, and directed a nonsuit to be en tered, as he was of opinion th at the words " within a month," meant a lunar month. The Arroaaar•GsuraaL now applied for a rule to show cause why a new trial should not be granted. on the ground that his Lordship had Improperly nottsuited the Plaintiff, and cited several cases to show that the decimals in the reports did not justify the course adopted in this muse, and that the time allowed ought to have bees a calendar month. Lord Tor:moan observed that the Court Inclined to his opinion, but to enable the Plaintiff to have the point argued, the Court would grant a rule to show cause why the nonsult should not be set aside and a verdict entered for the Plaintiff.—ltule granted. DAVIS D. CAMS. Mr. TAMPION applied for a rule to show cause why the verdkt should not be set aside, and a nonsult entered. This action was tried at the last Assizes for Gloucester, before Mr. Baron Vaughan. and was brought to recover a compensation In da mages from the defendant, a Magistrate of the County, for false imprisonment. The plaintiff. had been brought before the defendant on a charge of felony. and as there was strong suspicion against ber, he committed her for the space of four teen days for re-examination. The action had been before the Court twice ; on the first trial the plaintiff had been nonsuited, but the Court set it aside. and granted a new trial on the ground that the Learned Judge who tried the cause ought to have left it to the Jury to decide whether or not the defendant had committed the plaintiff for re-examination for an unreasonable length of time. and whether or not be had done so from undue motives, in expectation of obtaining a confession from her. It again went down and was tried at the last AMISS% when the Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff, damages 1110. on the ground that fourteen days was an unreasonable length of time fora commit. anent for re-examination, but that the defendant bad acted bona Me, without being influen ced by improper motives. The Learned Counsel now contended, and cited several cases in support of his argument, that as the defendant bad jurisdiction in the case. the plaintiff ought not to have brought an action of trespass. but a spe cial action on the case, and, therefore, the plaintiff ought to be eon suited. Lord TONITMIII aid, the Court would take the ease into cstui• deration. and give the decision on some future day. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS—Sarisuar. Nov. 7. Sittinp in Banco. 1111111 V V. AWN. Mr. Sergeant Want applied for a rule to show cause why the verdict, which was foe the Defendant. should nut be set aside, and a new trial granted. The case was tried at the last Anises for Nottingham, and was brought on a bond of £l,OOO, the execution of which was clearly proved, nevertheless the Jury returned a ver- dict for the Defendant. The Learned Sergeant observed that this was not the only instance of a Nottingham Jury's intelligence.— Rule granted. The Court was occupied the whole morning in bearing applies. duns for new trials, chiefly in causes tried during the last Assizes. The Police have directed that persons taken up by the constables, and confined for drunkenness only, tray be discharged when sober, without being taken before the Magistrates. The different watch-houses or stations for the New Police are fitted up with barrack reclining boards, for the repose of the men eff duty.
