AR. WATErtHOUSR. PI SAL St rllll xrritcifew D COM al ITTA L OP.IOIIIIUI Slat Dt. The most intense anxiety was manifested to-day,. to witness the eiamination of Joshua Slade and William Heddings. Slade asserts, that be never committed a dishonest act before last harvest, when he was instigated to the attempt by Heddings. Struck with alarm at the apprehension of the Slades, Heddings surrendered himself on Thursday night, and voluntarily entered into a full confession of I is crimes. Amongst other disclosures he stated, that Joshua, Slade had confessed to him that he was the murderer of Joshua Waterhouse. Information coming from so polluted a source was obviously liable to much suspi cion; but our Magistrates very wisely determined to conf, out the two offenders, and thus endeavour to esta blish more clearly the supposed guilt of Slade. Ac cordingly, at two o'clock today, Slade was brought from the prison to our Council Chamber, where the examination was to take place.- The Clerk of the County, John Sweeting, Esq. then proceeded to read the deposition of Heddings, which was in substance as follows: “ On Wednesday night, after the murder, I saw Joshua Slade on the turnpike road in Little Stukeley, near nine o'clock. The Inquest was then over. I jogged him on the elbow, and called him on ope side, and asked him what he thought of this concern ? He said, I don't know.' I made answer, • U—n It, how came you to lay hands on him?' He said, • I was forced ; I was in the low kitchen, plundering it; 51r. Warberhouse cense and catthed hold of me • I drew my knife, and began to stab him where I could; he dram ;idled out 'sunder, Ind I got him down on the IlOof. and got a weapon with which I bit him a hard blow on the face,and knocked him down; then I bit him several times on the arms, and where I could, to prevent him rising up again. I then heard the deg bark very vehemently at the door, and I went to see it any per..on was coati." ; there being nobody there, I went back to Mr. Water house again, and he had rose up on his legs. 1 theta hit him another hard blow on the head, and knocked hint into the tub. I then ran out at the garden door, and left him. I tan down the close of grass leading to Great ST uketcy." Alter the deposition had been read, and Heddings had affixed his mark to it, Slade was .irked if he had any thing to say? He answered—" No, your Honour; .but he has told some false tales; I did not say a word of what i.e says on the Wedne,d iy night ; he wants to hang me without Judge or Jury; d—n him, he ought to have been banged years ago hi/itself." Mr. Cole, Keeper of the Prison, was then sworn and examined. I produce a knife which I got from the prisoner. Joshua Slade ; I asked him for it after the first day of examination, but he said his Mother had got it and his watch. I toed him afterwards 'that he muar give it up ; be then said they (himself and the other prisoners) had concealed it, as they had no knife to eat their bread with. I replied, " You most give it up," and be immediately got it down from a shelf. I examined the knife; it was new cleaned ; I wrapt it in brown paper, and laid it past. Two or three days afterwards 1 looked at the knife again, and there appeared on the blade marks of blood; the red dudes which now appear have come out since I had it. aloe knife was then handed round the table; it is a large clasp knife, and apparently new. Stains of a dark brown or reddish shade may bevies Hy perceived about an inch from the point.) The prisoner being interrogated as to the nature of the stains which appeared an his knife, coolly replied," They a'n't blood, nor aught like it." The commitment of the prisoner was then made out, and he was conducted back to prison. Heddings was neat examined as to his participation in a felony. developed in the followiux evidence. John SitoreY, of Broughton, in the county of Huntingdoo, had two pi e s stokn tram his straw-yard one night *boot ten or eleven weeks since. Upon hearing of the apprehension of John and Joshua Slade, he went to Srukoky, and found one of the pigs in a stye at Shade's Isobar, and the wh i z in a stye at Heddings s. John Wayles, brothentAwlaw of Storey, corroborated this evi dence, and said Me could swear to the pigs, on account of their breed, odour, and acm in the noise of each. Heddings ersigiresed, though somewhat reluctantly, that be could not account for the pig beirig found in his potselaaoo, and Ws accordingly committed. No further elannuation rook place.

He 'then sent to expostulate with the parties who were con sidered most influential,•but, instead of abating the dig orders, they increased, and several of the turnkeys were ass., ulted The tumult at length arrived at such a height, that the Marshal found it necessary to .send for a de tachment of the Guards, upon whose arrival tranquil lity was restored. Mr. Meredith, Mr. Stanton, and some others of the ringleaders, were then confined in the strung room; and so mutinous was the spirit mini• fisted ►y the prisoners, that Mr. JONia did not think it sate to let the soldiers depart until an advanced hour yesterday morning.

ALARMING FLoon.—The neighbourhood of Romney Marsh, ihear Rye, has been considerably alarmed by the destruction of Pinkerton Sluice, in the parish of Guild ford, last Fridiy, by an uncommonly high tide. The wrecks of the sluice floating on the river ha►e destroyed a bridge neat it. The water, unchecked by the sluice, forced its way up several small streams, damaged s bridges, and broke the banks of the stream near those bridges. A great portion of Romney Marsh, laid under water, has been drained by a temporary dam at Bucketes Bridge, about four miles from the sluice. The ex- tent of this damage cannot, as yet, be ascertained.a- Forty acres of wheat, the property of Mr. Cheesman, of Stone, were laid entirely under water. No cattle were lost—the height towhich the water rose was not sufficient to effect their destruction. The greatest activity exists amongst those persons most interested in this unfor tunate event. Workmen have been constantly employed, and great hopes ate entertained of speedily repairing the dangsge.P.S. Toe extent of damage is much grea er than was anticipated : Mr. Selmos has 45 acres of fatting land now under water.—KentishChron.Julyl7.

LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, )131.1' 17. WOHTI6/411 AND WEST. The LORD Camsceu.on had signified his intention of giving his judgment in this case, and oncoming into Court said he was prepared to do so, but that some doubts had arisen in his mind respecting the terms of the testator's will. Ti.. point on which these doubts arose, had not been called to his attention by the Coun sel on either side; and it was, that the bequest was made "to every other child of the said Elizabeth Davis now born, or which may be born within nine calendar months after my decease." These words would apply to illegitimate as well as to legitimate children, and might be considered as the children of Elizabeth Davis by any person. The reason why no mention was made of the father of the children was obvious: it was in order to effect that indirectly, which could not be done directly. This point, which, as he had said before, was hitherto not adverted to by the Counsel, might, when cl:cided, tender nugatory the decision of the other parts r f the case. It entirely changed the vestion. Beta een this day and Fti.►ay he would turn the matter in hi, mind, and oo the latter day he would give his judgment. - . ACCOUNTANT GENERAL'S onus. Sir C. Warureett. pre:en•ed a petition praying for an increas: of the cle.lcs in the (Ace of the Account ant General, the present number not being sufficient to discha►ge properly the du ies of the office. The LORD CHANCELLOR said, that as the power Of making the alteration suggested by the petition rested aids him, he should not scruple to e:e►cise it, because he was con•ineed that some of the business in the Ac- countatst-Geneiaes office had been, he would not say neglected, hut altogether omitted, owing to the small number of hands in that establishment. NEROT V. BURNAM. Counsel were heard in argument on this appeal dur ing the remainder of the sitting of the Court. VICE CHANCELLOR'S COURT, Jus.r IT. HICHICIIS V. HINDI. This case arose out of certain transactions relating to the Arigna Mining Company. The plaintiff, together with four other persons, all cf them shareholders in the Arigna Mining Company, filed a bill for the purpose of compelling the defend,nt Hii,de and another person, named Beautian, to refund, Ice the benefit of the Company, two several sums of 1.004. each, which they had received as agents to Sir WM. Congrevr. To this bill the defendants demurred, on the grounds of want of parties, and absence of know ledge on their parts of the fraudulent manner in which the m .ney had been obtained and applied. . The case now came on upon the demurrer. Mr. litiwa (with whom were Mr. Hostads Twos and Mr. Lowest:ma) appeared to support the demurrer. He contended that these five persons could not be al- lowed to file a bill of this description against o her shareholders, who had an equal interest with themselves in the affairs of the Company. The shares of the Com pany had been sold to others who were not original subscribers, and—there was no evidence to shew that' those others were not participants in the guilty know. ledge of the fraud. Such persons must be bound by the knowledge of the parties from a horn they purcha,ed. Admitting, however, that a fraud had taken place, and that three plaintiffs weta entitled to file a bill, still the defendants were not the proper parties. There was no eyidence" before the Court that the defendaots, as agents of the Directors of the Company, did more than merely receive the money tor the benefit of their principits. It was for his Learned Friends on the other side to shew that the defendants had committed themselves in any other way, before the plaintiffs could look for any re medy against them. Mr. SUODKN began to address the Court in :ippon of the bill, when The VICIrCHANCRLLOR said, that it might save both time and trouble if he. gave it as his opinion lit once, that the objection on the ground of want of parties had long since been overruled. In the case of is Adair v. tie New River Company," and in other cases where the crews of privateers sought relief in equity for a division of their prize money, the question had been completely set at rest. His principal difficulty was the objection to make these defendants give an account in a Court of Equity of monies which they appeared to have received merely as agents, for the use of others. In plain lan guage, the question was, whether the hand which passed the money to others was to be made responsible for its application when it came into its possession for the sole purpose of passing it, and for no other ? Mr. SUODEM thought he could satisfy his Honour that the dekiidants were not only the agents of the Di rectors, but also the officers and servants i f the CM. par,y, participating, as well as the Directors themselves, in the advantages derived 'from the fraud. It was quite clear that they knew that instead of 25,0001. only 10,0001. had been paid, and that they were privy to the sharing of the 15,0001. among certain persons connected with the Company. The Learned Counsel here read a variety of letters from Sir W. Congreve to Mr. Hob oyd, agent to Messrs. Clarke, through whose means the Company was formed; and contended, that upon the face of them the defendants had cognizance of the whole transaction, from the moment it was projected until its consummation. After a few words in reply from Mr. H. Twigs, • The Vice CHANCELLOR said, that although it was, , very doubtful whether the plaintiffs could ultimately succeed, yet he felt that he was bound to over rule the demurrer. The case could not be perfectly understood before the defendants put in their answer. What ulti mate success would attend the plaintiffs depended upon a variety of circumstances, some of which were not yet before the Court, and some of which would be the sub ject of future consideration, when the case itself came before him for judgment. For the present, he should dismiss the demurrer. COURT OF KING'S BENCH. JULY 17. SROBIEIRLD AND ANOTHER, ASSIGNEES OF SCOTT AND CO. AOAINbT TODD. This was an action of trover against the defendant, a wharfinger, to recover the value of twenty-five firkins of butter, shipped by James Reid, of Newcastle•upon- Tyne, on board the Swift,Captain White, and consigned to the bankrupts, Scott and Bright,who were provrsion• n4rchants and commission-agents, in Walbrook, in the city of London. Mr. COMYN opened the pleadings, and the Comics/4 SIBOZAMT stated the case. The goods were shipped at Newcastle on the 14th of January, 1826, and on the same day Reid wrote to the bankrupts that he had shipped to them for sale twenty-five firkins of butter, aid had drawn a bill for 501. at two months' date, to which he begged their usual kindness. The bill was duly ae eptcd by the bankrupts. It was payable to the order of the drawer a for value recelv:d• in goods per the Swift as advised." Tbkgools arrived it th;dete n d s ant's wharf in the river, on the 11 h of February ; but Scott and Bright suspended their payments on thes9th, and were denied to their creditors on thie 50th of January, and a commission of bankrupt was issued against them on the 4th of February, under which th plaintiffs were chosen assignee., and the assignment was executed to them on the 26 h of. March. The iniroice was received on the Ist of JAnuary, and on that day the bankrupts wrote to the defendant, .1 that they had re ceived an invoice of goods from Mr. Reid, which, in their present situation, they did not feel justified in holding." Reid, on the 6th of February, as soon as lie heard of the bankruptcy, wrote to the defendant not t deliver the goods to the bankrupts; and the derendaiit afterwards delivered dila) to Reid's order, without the plaintiff's consent. The bill which the bankrupt bad accepted was pro duced by Mr. Coleman, who received it from a house at Newcastle. The ATlroaNsit-Gnalut., for the defendant, con. tended that the consignor Reid had a right to stop the goods is transibt as soon is he became acquainted with ihe bankruptcy of the consignees; and that the de- fendant was therefore justiSed in deliveting the goods ,:o Reid's order. The Cosmos SZIAGEASIT and Mr. COMYN insisted, that after 4Leid had made the bilLais own by endorsing and payini it away, his tight of stoppa g e in transitti was gone. Gird TENTUDEN, however, held otherwise. T e whole law of stoppage is traxsign was against the phi tiff; cave. If Reid rec, iced rn-mey to which he w s not entitle) wider the bill, the assignee, could recover t of bina.—The plaint:ifs were accordingly noosuited. FLORA:-Cit AGAINST GOLD;4I/0 This was an acti. a brought fur the iecorery of a bill of cuss which the plaintiff, who is an attorney, claimed for business done for Mr. Alegandet Goldsmid. Mr. Ba uowa stated the ease. The defendant, wl o .rasa Director of the Metropolitan Alderney Dairy Corn. pany, suspecting that a Mr. Parker, who vas in the employ of the Company, had broken open a desk and taken money rot of a till to pay himself the arrears which he claimed from the Company, gave Mr. Parker in charge cf a Bow-street Officer, in consequence of which Mr. Parker brought an action against him ill the Court of Common Pleas for defamation, •nd indicted him at the Sessions for an assault. The defeudant em• played the plaintiff as his attorney both in the acti , a and in the indictment, and for the balance of his bill of costs, amounting to 631.4'. 101 Of which 251. had been paid, the action was brought. John Tucker, clerk to the plaintiff, proved a delivery of the bill of costs, and that the business specified is the items of the bill had been done. Cross-raamined by Mr. PozzoCK—The plaintiff svas solicitor to the Dairy Company, and the defendant was a Director of at. The bill of costs aas horn business arising out of a charge the defendant had brought against Parker fcr embezzling money. Mr. PoLzocit said that he had the plaintiff's receipt for 1251. in full of all demands upon the Company, and there was no proof that the defendant was the personal employer of the plaintiff on his own behalf, without re. Ihence to the Company. There was. nothing mo,e pro bable than that the defendant, who was a arectori should have taken Park:r into custody immediately that he suspected him of embezzlemeat, and there was nothing more just than that the Directors should protect and defend the defendant, and employ the plaintiff, their solicitor, to conduct his defence. When the plain. tiff was paid the 1P.51. he expressly said that be did not claim any thing from the defendint, and there was a special charge in the account of V... 51. for actions and it:. dictsuents. against Mr. Goldsmtd, The plaintiff was employed, and considered himself employed, by the Company only, and not by the defendant t and his pre. sent attempt td charge the defendant. after his receipt in lull of all demands'of the Company, wat entitely an after-thought.

He applied (or 201. which witness %as ai.rcted to give him. Witness afterwards gave him 251. understinding it %At on account of the Company. Witness also proved the receipt of the 11th of May, and that the plaintiff re. ceived the 1254 and that he told the defendant, who asked him the question, that he bad no separate chow against him. The plaintiff was the secretary and soli citor to the Company. Cross-examined—Witness was a shareholder. The Conapany was at aeend.
