The Loki) CHAucat.Lon said that he had promised judgment in this cause to-day, but that he found himsel unable to give it. His Lordship made some observa tions upon a point of practice, in which he said that he found himself obliged to differ from some very high atuhorities. It was respecting the practice of hearing motions in a cause, before the cause itself came before the Court. He thought that, by the decisions of motions of this nature, the cause itself was very frequently de cided, and that suitors were thus liberated from the Court before they would otherwise have been. His Lordship, however, intimated, that in this opinion he' was xi variance with the Lords Apsley, Thurlow t and Redesdale. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Dec. 11. lamas nts—COOL o.

Paris Papers to the 11th inst. contain some intelli gence respecting the hostile proceedings of the Portu guese Rebels, from which it appears that eight hundred of them who were quartered at Palencia had been armed with muskets destined if for the Spanish Royal Guard," and then marched to Zamora, where they had joined the Marquis de Chaves previously to his entrance into Portugal. The same article then states, that the Con stitutional garrison of Braganza had retired at the ap proach of the invaders, but that having received a rein forcement of 600 men, it had re-entered the place, and even gene a league beyond it to meet the Royalists, who were twice more numerous. On the 23d of Nov. the two parties engaged, and the action lasted the whole day. The next morning some of the Provincial Militia having joined the Rebels, the Constitutionalists were forced to fall back, and the town of Braganca was pos sessed and plundered for two hours by the enemy, On the 261 the Marquis de Chaves became master of the' citadel of Braganza, but whether by capitulation or assault is not mentioned. Meanwhile another division of Royalists, organized and armed in Spanish Estrama dura, had entered the Portuguese province of Beira, and maneuvred to compel the Constitutionalists to divide their forces, so that on every side the Royalists appeared to gain ground, though the people were in favour of the Constitution: The Journal des Debuts, in a long article, in which the French Ministers are charged with having occasioned the present explosive state of the Peninsula, puts the following case:—"" Let us sup pose that the English land on the banks of the Tagus to support the Constitutional Throne, and the benefits which it has conferred ; that in pursuit of conquered parties, they ascend that river, as it were against their own will ; that a conflagration should kindle before them, and that war should reach the cities which we occupy,—shall Europe see us choose that moment to fold up our banners and to declare that the campaign of the Trocadero is terminated ?" The question is cer tainly become one of considerable interest and im portance. The s-ime Paper gives some itrelligence received by express from Constantinople, and coming down to the 17th of last month. It states that since the 22d of October, when the discovery of the last conspiracy had taken. place, " more than 6000 men had been decapi rated, and several thousands had been drowned." The capital was at last tranquil, but, the accounts justly add, you may imagine the nature of tranquillity produced by such menus: " The Divan met every day to discuss, it was generally supposed, the propositions made by Mr. Stratford Canning respecting the affairs of Greece. Though no resolution was yet known to have been finally adopted by the Porte, its disposition to concede Was inferred from the fact, that the British 'Minister had obtained public and ample satisfaction for an insult offered to the guard of his hotel by the populace. Such a concession on the part of the Reiss Effendi to any Annbassddor, was not remembered to have been ever made. The Captain Pacha had returned to the Dar danelles, and Ibrahim abandoned to himself in the Morea, and dissatisfied with the Porte for having made no effort to assist him, remained on the defensive in the Morea, unable or unwilling to undertake any fresh operations.

The plaintiff was a cheesemonger, and had supplied the Idefendant with a considerable quantity of cheese, eggs, and butter, from his house near the Regent's Park.— For the demand thus accruing, a bill of exchange for 11001. and another for 501. were given by the defendant. Besides this amount, there was a claim of 321. for com modities supplied since the bills were given. The ac ceptance of the defendant and non-payment were then proved. There being no defence set up, the Jury found a yes dict for the plaintiff, inclusive of the interest, for 1771. Costs 40s. SHERIFFS COURT, RID LION SWAZI, Dtc. 11. IHiRWOOD V. ST. NAITHILAINZ DOCK COMPANY. In • this case a Special Jury was impannelled, so award compensation from the St. Katherine Dock Com pany to Messrs. James and William Sherwood, the eminent gun lock manufacturers, in East Smithfield, for their leasehold premises, fixtures, and *good = will of their trade. The total amount of claim sought to be recovered was 69001. ss. Mr. Doman and Mr. Tamara were for the claimants, and Messrs. Apex and PLATT represented the Dock Company. The plaintiffs' chief reliance was on the annual returns of their trade, which were stated to have been—in 1824, 3,9971. 145. 9d.-1 in 1825, 4,4701. Is. sd.—and in 1826, 4,6291. Os. 6d.—and the profits on their returns 30 per cent. The defendants rested on the actual value of the premises, lease, and fixtures, as the trade would not be lost by removal. After considerable pains had been taken by the Counsel on both sides, to elicit facts favourable to the contending parties, the Jury awarded 1,0171. 55. 4d. for the leasehold interest ; 2711. 3s. 4d. for the fixtures; and 1,9161. 18s. 4d. for good-will of trade; making a total of 3,2051. being 3,6951. ss. less than the sum claimed. SECONDARIES' OFFICE, DIODOINIM 11. SPICER V. TILE HON. AND ILEVOVIN. CAPE'. This was an action for the recovery of the value of two asses, or donkies, which had been seized on the high way, by the Rev. defendant, and sold by him without any legal right ; and also for compensation for the loss of the services of the aforesaid asses or donkies, from the period of the seizure. The defendant had allowed judgment to go by default. Mr. ADOLPHUS, for the plaintiff, stated the case as follows : A boy was driving the plaintiffs two asses, and three asses the property of another person, along the high road, and was accosted by the Rev, defendant, who desired him to stop. This command the boy did not think proper to obey ; upon which, the Rev. de fendant seized him, and ordered a man to take away the asses. This was speedily put into execution, One of the plaintiff's family afterwards questioned the de fendant as to what was intended to be done with the asses, which had been so nawarrantably taken possession of, but a very unfatisfactory answer was returned; and the following notice was sent to the plaintiff. " Watford, June 4, ISM " I hereby give you notice, tbat I have some of your donkies in pound, for damage done to my hedges, &c. ; and that I shall tell them, on Monday next, unless the damage, amounting to one pound, be paid. " Yours, " Spicer." " WILLIAM CAPEL." Eipostulation proved unavailing. The reverend de fendant said, that the plaintiff must pay the 11. for each donkey, increasing his demand as he increased the injury to the poor man, acknowledging, at the same time, that no damage was sustained by him, but de claring his determination not to allow any more asses to shew their faces in the county—(A laugh). Since the days of Salaam never was there such ado about the dived ! Never, from the moment of the seizure, had the plaintiff obtained restitutition of his property. At last he was induced to apply to the highly respectable attorneys who , now conducted the suit. Those Gentle men wrote the following letter to the Rev. Mr. Capel :— .I Hollowed and Reverend Sir—We have been applied to by Mr. Spicer, of Watford, respecting the seizure and detention by you of two asses, his property. From the statement made to us, we cannot see any legal ground for you so doing, and request that you will either restore the Uses to Mr. Spicer, or pay him the value thereof, together with some reasonable compensation for the loss he has sustained by their detention, or favour us with the name of your professional adviser. " We are Reverend Sir, " Your obedient humble Servants, " ASHLEY and GOODMAN." The Hon. and Rev. W. Capel, Watford, Hens." To this application the following answer was returned:— " Sir—l thank you for your civil letter. If it is necessary, Mr. Fellows, of Rickmanswurth, will attend you; but I should hope, al I hive done nothing towards the parties, but with the greatest forbearance, for injuries and annoyances innumerable, that they will not be foolish enough to drive me to ruin them, which I could do. I think, by your writing in the way you have done, they bare got into ttiure respectable hands than 1 feared they might; and, there. fore, I will add, that supposing I had done any thing unjust (which Gob forbid), their going to law seems to be a joke, and that you have very unprobtable clients. When I come to town, I will, if necessary, call upon you and convince you, I trust, I have not done wrung. .6 Your obedient Servant, W. CAPEL." " Y.S. If nothing, however, will satisfy these Gentlemen, but , law, pray communicate with Mr. Fellows." Sctiveuer depo s ed that, as he was driving two or . the plaintiff's and three of another person s cionkies, in the public way at Coney Butts, Mr. Capel Cross-examined by Mr. Tatromen.—Used to drive the donklet ever since he was able to do anything. Al r. Capel had a small farm near the spot where the donkies were pas-ing, and a new quick hedge. The donkies had not been an hour it the lane when Mr. Capel seized them ; not one of the donkies are a bit of the hedge. Thomas Fidi:r deposed that I e 6A seen the asses; the value of each of the plaintiff's asses was 21. They were employed in carrying sand, and ought not to work under a shilling or Eteen pence a day. Ann Uzzell deposed, that she met Mr. Capel aft.? the seizure of the asses, and he said, " Well, Mother Uzzell, I have got your asses." " Well, Sir," replied ihe, "and what have they done?" N, thing," replied he, " but I'll sell them—l mean to send all the asses out of the county." They worked at the rate of Is. per day. Cross-examined—Mr. Spicer's donkies never did Mr. Caper' grounds a hap'orth of,harm; never beard that Spicer had been advised by any one to bring this action. • • Mi. TattPotnin said, 'the action should have keen checked in the commencement t but Mr. Cape), as iwaS the case with many country Gentlerilen, neglected the matter until it Was too late. He, however, determined chit the plaintiff iheruld incur as little expense as possi. ble, and, therefore, he allowed it to gall Lao that Cohrt. where the value of the asses would, no doubt, be given; but where, he begged leave to say, nothing could be awarded for the loss of the asses' services, as the action was an action amour. The plaintiff sought, in fact, to recover ten times as much as he was entitled to. It had been said, that an ass ought not to work for less than a shilling a day. He was sorry to say, that many a poor man in England laboured for leis; but, had it been proved that the plaintiff could get no other asset ? Were there no others in Hertfordshire? Mr. Ta gourd concluded, by condemning the air of importance with which this case was introduced, and declaring, that his client, who had certainly committed a mistake, was not at all deserving of any reproach that bad been cut upon him. The SICONDAar admitted that Mr. Talfourd's objection was geed The &COI/DART, in summing up, said, that even if such an action bad been brought as would warrant a verdict fur recompense for loss of services, the plaintiff could recover nothing like the sum of a shilling a day. The Jury assessed the damages at .e. 4, the value of the two asses. Mr. Trireme was anxious to explain the meaning of his client's -letter; but the Secondary objected. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Dec. 11. John Gouge Wilkinson, a land waiter, in his Ma jesty's Customs, enjoying a salary of 500/. a year, sought to be discharged from debts am tinting to 1,1491. Mr. Cooxa appeared against the insolvent on behalf of Mr. Smart, and several other creditors appeared in prpriepersona.' The insolvent stated, in his examination by Mr. Carte, that he had been for many years in his present employment, and has been father of twenty children, one of whom was discharged by this Court on Saturday last, and the other six seniors are depeudant upon him ; some of the juniors have been employed in the mei chant service, and other respectable situations, but at present they are out of situations; is connected with some an nuity transactions at a great interest, and that is the principal cause of his present application. Mr. Coons said, that the only object of his client was that the Court should order a portion of his salary- en jofed in his civil capacity should be appropriated to the liquidation of his debts, which. amounted to very li.tle more than two years' income.• The insolvent had been engaged in an annuity transaction at an enormous in terest, and he (Mr. Cooke) blamed him not for sec king to be absolved from the con.equences; nevertheless, this circumstance was no reason why the bonaftde cteditors should not be paid their claims. The COURT would obsnve, that, on many occasions, they had recommended Naval and Military Officers to live within their income of 1001. a year, therefore it ' appeared reasonable, that some considerable deflation should be made from the 500/. salary, paid by Govern , went to an officer in a civil capacity. In his examination by Mr. HEATH, the insolvent stated, that, in the year 1821, he raised money orpan nuity to pay his then existipg debts, and that he had paid from 17f to 20 per cent. interest, and considerable expenses connected with the loan. • Several other creditors were then asked by the Cuurt what they bad to object to the Insolvent's discharge ? They all 44=44 they preferred payment to imprisonment. Mr. /11111TH said, the only question was, what amount should be deducted from the insolvent's income ? He hoped the Court would remember the number of per sons dependant upon his client for support, and he (Mr. Heath) could not help regretting, that, as the law stood, no distinction could be made between an annuity credi tor, who had taken exorbitant interest, and those trades men, who had bona fide supplied the insolvent with necessary articles. After a short consultation, the Carty Commission= said, that the Court would recommend to the proper authorities, that 1251. should be applied for the purpose prayed, and that the deduction commence on the sth of April, 1827. • Upon this condition the petitiener was ordered to be di,charged. Recent letters from Madrid state that Capital to be deeply agitated. Numerous arrests had taken place, and the - Monks and Clergy were in furious activity. Many of the latter, like the valorous Trappist, were potting on the Armour of Faith, and becoming Military Partisans. They are said to be employed in enlisting troops, and making purchases of gunpowder. The ob ject of this new Crusade is plain; but a few British regiments will soon damp their ardour. . CORPORATION 01 WARIVICILA writ of mandamus, from the Court of King's Bench, directed to the Mayor, Aldermen, and Burgesses of this borough, commanding them to meet and elect a Mayor, was served upon Johu Wilmshurst, Esq. on Saturday morning last, by Mr. Joseph Parkes, Solicitor, of Birmingham; and public notices, appointing the meeting to be held at the Shire Hall, for. that purpose, on Monday nest, were after wards affixed to the door of the Court-house, and posted up in different parts of the borough. What with the numerous Election Petitions, and the various important matters which are to come before Parliament after the recess, the approaching season may be expected to be the fullest which has been expe rienced in London for some years.
