The Chain Pier this morning had many visitors, in cluding divers families in high life. owing to the beauty of the weather, and its being known that the Life-pre serving apparatus of Captsin Manby, in cases of ship wreck, would be carried into practice, at its outer extremity. The great object of this apparatus is to convey a rope. by means of a ball, to which it is fixed, from a mortar, to a given point. It has been used here, and about this line of coast, with the desired effect.-- This morning the ball, with a rope attached, was dis charged from the mortar, but in almost every trial the rope was snapt in twain, and the design for which it was so propelled frustrated. These disappointments gave rise to a suggestion, that a chain should be con nected with the ball, and the rope to the chain, to insure soccess with the explosion ; and the suggestion was in stantly acted upon. No danger was anticipated, and the elegant crowd at the southern head of the pier became mere dense. The mortar at length was again discharged, but the chain, not three yards in length, was severed by it, within two links of the rope, and was whirled through the air in a zigzag course, while the rope, with the br ace of haks attached to it, recoiled.— The latter (though upon that subject there is a differ ence of opinion, many supposing it to have been effected by the former) struck a fine boy, about nine years of age, named Bedford, whose father is a S.ilicitor, of Bedford place, Holborn, and who, with his family, has occupied a house on the New Steyne for some little time past, on the lower part of the face and on the neck, literally smashing the under jaw, dividing the carotid and jugular arteries, and destroying him on the spot. A Gentle man was struck with the roFe or chain at the same time s which rent his habiliments, and slightly wounded him in the breAst. A third person, a boy, bad his hat Whisked cff by it, but he escaped unhurt. I shall not attemFt to describe the confusion, and the sympathetic feeling which the fate of the little boy Bedford occasioned on the pier. He was kneeling at the end of the pier, on the seat, and peeping through the fence there, to notice what was going forward, when the fatal shot was fired ; he fell instantly on the stone platform, without a sigh or a struggle ; and those nearest to him did not know what had occurred for the space of half a minute. His mutilated remains were borne to the White Horse Inn, there to await the Coroner's Inquest. CHANCERY COMMISSION REPORT. (Concluded from the &mu of Saturday.) THIRD PAPER DELIVERED IN BY Ma. FOSTER. BANKRUPTCY. The Lord Chancellor and V. both take cognitince of applications in matters of bankruptcy : but these applicatioos are attended with great expense and delay to the parties, by reason that all such appli cations must be made by petition, and can in no case be made by motion. The Court has of late, in many cases, acted upon a most wholesome rule; by discountenancing all peti tions for superseding commissions of bankrupt, until the question of the legality or validity of the commis sion had been tried at law in an action of trespass, where that course could be taken. Several petitions of this nature have been dismissed with costs. This should, however, be a standiegyule. Rut there are many other objects to which this junsdic tioll is addressed, viz. for proving and expunging the proof of debts ; for liberty for joint creditors to prove under separate commissions; tor removing assignees; Me appointing new assignees ; for taxation of solicitors' and for many purposes arising out of the porti co s. circumstances of every case. In all cases of bank rupt petitions, much inconvenience and expense is occa • sinned to the suitors, by the want of a rule as to the • time for filing affidavits, in support, and in opposition to the petition; for, according 'to the present course, the petitioner and his opponent may proceed almost in definitely by filing affidavits in answer, reply and contradiction, to each other, without either party know . ing where this war of oaths is to end; for, to have the labt word appears tole an object of equal importance to both. Upon all applications to the Courts of Common. Law, the general rule is, that the applicant files his affidavit in support of his motion, and his opponent In like manner answers them ; but neither party can go further; and a similar rule, as far as circumstances will admit, ought to prevail with regard to bankrupt peti tions. Tim Court, however, entertains no application whatever in b.nkruptcy unless made by petition.— Whenever, therefore, a difficulty at ices in settling the minutes of an order, a petition must be presented to vary the minutes ; if, upon any refere.rce to the Master, it be expedient that as to part of the subject matter, he should be at liberty to make a separate iepOrt, an order fur that purpose must be obtair.ed by petition; and a petition must also be presented to confirm cverT report. If, on the hearing of the petition, an issue be directedi the patty, successful on the noun, roust inform the Court of the result, and bring the subject again under coml. r deration by petition ; and if it be requisite to apply f 0 1 .., T a new utalp .l l petition for This purpose is in like mann necessary. The attempt to enumerate all the cases f this nature would be vain ; but it is suggested that mu h time and expense would be laved. if many of these ap plications were allowed to be made on motion. It wotAd also be advantageous if a general order were made to enable joint creditors to prove under a separate Com mission, without the present necessity to obtain a special order for that purpose. Thewriter recollects an instance where a joint creditor, whose debt did not exceed twenty pounds, was induced, by his solicitor, to petition fur and obtain an order to prove under a separate commission, on the assurance that the costs would be ordered to be paid out of the estate; these costs exceeded the amount the petitioner's debts, and as the assignees had no assets wherewith to pay the costs, the unfortunate creditor was obliged to pay the amount out 0 his own pocket. There exists an anomaly in the laws of bankruptcy, which the writer cannot help noticing in this place.— A joint creditor of two or more partners can, in right of his joint debt, take out a separate commission against one partner, and receive a dividend equally with the separate creditors out of the separate estate. An instance of the great injustice of this law occurred stithin the writer's knowledge. A joint creditor of two partners, whose joint debt exceeded seven thousand pounds in amount, took out a separate commission against one partner; the bankrupt's separate estate was considerable, and was divided amongst his, separate creditors, and the petitioning creditor, who, in that, character alone, was entitled to receive a dividend out. (if the separate estate ; the dividend was Very consider : cable; and the joint creditors did not receive a .shilling. If the docquet had been struck by a separate creditor, all the separate creditors would have received 20s. in the pound, and there would have been a surplus divisi ble amongst the joint creditors. tUNACY. Amongst the many complaints which have been rah lvd against the delay and expense of proceedings in the Court of Chancery, there is no branch of its practice where these evils are more glaring and burthensome than the jurisdiction of the Court in matters of lunacy. For the Ototection of the persons and property of those unfortunate beings, who are incompetent to the care and management of themselves and their estates, the King, in right of his prerogative, has generally deep. ted to the Lord Chancellor, Lord Keeper, or Lords Commissioners of the Great Seal, by warrant under his sign manual, countersigned by the two Secretaries of State, the custody of idiots and lunatics, and the power of administering their property. This power, being specially vested in the Lord Chancellor, cannot be ex ercised by the Master of the Rolls or the Vice Chancel lor, who, of consequence, can entertain no applications in matters of lunacy. Hence the delay which fre quently occurs in proceedings falling under this juris diction ; for, whilst applications in causes, for bank. ruptcy,•or under special Acts of Parliament may be made indifferently to the Lord Chancellor, or the Vice Chancellor, and, in the first and third cases, to the Master •of the Rolls also, all subjects of lunacy mast came under the purview of the former alone. This delegated jurisdiction of the Lord Chancellor, in matters of lunacy, is much more comprehensite, and embraces a much larger proportion of the practice . of the Court, than may, perhaps, be generally known to the public. The office of the Secretary of Lunatics affords a melancholy preof that insanity is a daily in. creasing 'malady in this country; and scarcely a family can be found whose members and connection; are en tirely free from this lamentable imperfection of human intellect. Whilst suits pending in the Court of Chancery ate confined to some specific and definite objects, the verdict of a Jury upon a commisson of lunacy, at once places under the administration of the Great Seal the whole of the affAirs of the incompetent person, not un frequently embracing almost every subject cognizable in a court of equity, and rendering indispensable the institution and prosecution of numerous suits and other proceedings, which, if insanity had -not intervened, would have been unnecessary. All proceedings in mat ters of lunacy are moreover clogged with difficulties, former proceedings and tee.hnkalities, peculiar to this branch of the practice of the Court, for the powers of e the committee of a lunatic's estate are of themselvs i most narrow and limited ; no discretion in the manage.' ment of the property committed to his care is vested in him ; but the power to do, as well as the indemnity for doing, every specific and individual act must be ob tained from the Court. And the mode in which this power and indemnity are to be obtained is not less ob jectionable than the necessity of obtaining them ; when ever it is necessary to do any act for the improvement of the lunatic, estates, to grant leases, repair buildings, enfranchise copy holds, adjust accounts or claims, or take any proceedings whatever relating to the estate or con. terns of the lunatic, a petition must, in every case, be presented to the Lord Chancellor, who refers the matter to the consideration of the Master, who reports his opinion, which opinion must be confirmed by the Court upon another petition, before the act or proceeding in question can be done or taken. For the passing of every annual account by the Committee before the Master, he must in like manner obtain an order upon petition, and he cannot even pay any balance which may be in his hands into Coon, without a similar order made also upon petition. The only mode in which any application whatever in matters of lunacy can be made to the Lord Chancellor is by petition, setting forth the circumstances and groundi on which it is made, supported &ederally by affidavits Vet ifying the facts ; and, upun everrorder, referring particuldr subjects to the constderation of the Master, evidence must again begone into and produced in his office. The power of the Master is strictly limited to the letter of the order of reference, and he can take into his consideration no subject relating to the lunatic, however trivial, without express directions from the Court. The delay and expense occasioned by thesepro ceedings may readily be imagined to be enermour ; but the expense is still further increased in every case in which the order of the Courtis to be acted upon by the Accountant-General. This occurs whenever the Com mittee has to pay into Court his annual balance, and whenever a sum of money is to be paid into or received out of Court; and also when stocks are to be transferred into or from the name of the Accountant-General, or are to be sold or purchased by him. All orders in mat ters of lunacy are drawn up by the Llrd Chancellor's, Secretary of Lunatics ; but all orders to be acted uponi by the Accountant-General must be drawn up a second time by the Register, and also enteied by him. Thus the expense of every order of this nature is more than doubled. Another close of grievous expense to the estates of lunatics is to be found in the office of the elvk of ti , e Custodies," whose fees on every grant et the person and estate of a lunatic, and on the tecognizances of the sure 'ties * of Committees, ate 'Eery large; and on the appoint -mem of evetj new Committee, the same, or very nearly the same, expenses are again incurred. To obviate many of the difficulties and delays, and to render unnecessary much of the expense attendant upon proceedings in matters of lunacy, it is suggested, that upon every appointment of a Committee of the estate of a lunatic, a general order of reference should be made by the Court, authorizing the Master to take into his consideration all matters connected with the lunatic's estate and affairs, and to pass the annual ac counts of the Committee, and that the annual balances of his accounts should be paid into Court upon the Master's certificate. Proceedings would moreover ba much facilitated by the extension of the jurisdiction, in matters of lunacy, to the Master of the Rolls and Vice- Chancellor, unless a separate Court for this branch of the administration of justice should be established ; de lay and expense would be further diminished, if appli cations to the Court in matters of lunacy were allowed to be made on motion; and if all reports of te Master were held to be absolute, without confirmation by the Court, unless objected to within a'certain number of days after the signature by the Master. The necessity for orders to be twice drawn up, as above stated, ought also to be removed. It is further suggested, that on every appointment of a new Committee, the recogni zances to be entered, into by his sureties should be of the same amount as those required on the appointment of his predecessor, unless the property shall have been altered ; and that a revocation of the former grant, and thk preparation and sealing of a new grays, should, by assygnment from the former Committee, or his repre sentatives, or otherwise, be rendered unnecessary, and the payment of the large fees above alluded to, be saved after the first grant. It is further of the utmost importance that no solici tor should, on any pretence whatever, be allowed to represent both the Committee and next of kin of the lunatic. 'Amongst many evils resulting from a contrary practice, within the personal knowledge of the writer, the allowance of improper and exorbitant charges in bills of costs, professing to be taxed by the Master, may be mentioned ; all bills of costs incurred by the Com mittee of a lunatic's estate must be taxed by the Master, before they can be allowed as payments in the Com mittee's accounts ; and to protect the estate of the luna tic from'profuse expenditure and extravagant charges, the next of kin are, by the present practice of the Court, allowed at the expense of the estate to attend before the Master by their solicitor, on passing the Committee's ac counts and the taxation ofthe bills of casts. But this salu tary provision is in a great measure rendered abortive, by the practice of permitting one solicitor to represent . both the Committee of the lunatic's estate and the next of kin; and the expense of copies of the accounts and bills of costs, which are charged for, although not made, by the Master's clerk, is uselessly incurred. The solicitor, moreover, charges for copies of petitions, orders and other proceedings, made, or alleged to be made, for the next of kin ; for the service of petitions, ord ers, and warrants, which in fact are never served; and for at tendance in Court, upon the secretary of lunatics, on warrants before the blaster and otherwise, in his double capacity of solicitor for both parties. A s representing the committee, it is his interest to support every item charged Its the account and bills of costs; and as soli citor tor the next of kin, being very frequently infants, it is his duty to see that no improvident payment or ex orbitant charges are allowed. The two characters, thus assumed very generally by solicitors practising in mat ter: of kinky, have been thus shown to be perfectly incompatible. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. Two women were charged with having robbed a sentient= named Lane of three XS notes of the Ipnrieh Bank. Thept tor, in walking through abbopepte-street on Satur day night , Was addressed by NeOwn, who took him by the arm and asked bin WO/ Wier PI take a walk with her. He disengaged idemdf o ned Drown walked away, bat be heard rather a " rumble" he his clamors' pocket, and, upon putting his bands in, he felt that hie Dotes were pos. He immediately turned round, and saw her talking to a Capeab of a Alp. He put his hand upon her, and told the Captain that she bad just robbed him, to which the Captain re plied that nobody was snore likely to de a thing of the kind. She was then conducted to the watchhouse ' where she was searched, but no money was found upon her. The Captain, however, described Gorden, who he said had suddenly left Brown when the latter spoke to him, and an officer was dispatched after the prisoner, who was soon afterwards found in Houndsditcb, and taken to the watch house and searched. While the operation of searching was going forward, she made the most desperate resistance and outcry. The notes suddenly dropped near the spot where she was searched, and alilresent were convisted that it was from her they dropped. TheCeptain stated, that Brown, when the addressed him said, " I remember, Mr, hobs men you before ; and lam sorry ior the robbery I committed open you scene years ago." She had scarcely said• the woros, when Mr. Lane came up and accused her. The LOMB illavort--And were you robbed by her? The Qptain—Exactly di years ago I was robbed by her of a £lO note, on the very spot where I met her on the night of this robbery. I did not prosecute her on account of the trouble and an noyance ; and I never saw her since until Saturday night. The two prisoners denied.they knew any thing about the notes. The officers said that they were two of the most desperate thieves. Nothing was too hot or too heavy for them. They had stolen hun dreds of pounds ent of Gentlemen's pockets.--They were then fully committed. woof Lie wait yesterday brought before the Loa* Mecca for a second examination, charged with having committed an Wham under the Act, called " Jonathan Wild's Act." Mr. Yomick, when shop was robbed of umbrellas and other arti cle; attended, and stated, in answer to some questions put to him by the Lord Mayor, as follows:—The prisoner called on me, and said he could get me pan it the property that had been stolen from L. I did not pay him any gooey upon the oc colon; bp; I said, I was willing to do so, upon the recovery of the property and the' prosecution of the thieves. He said that all that Miglarbe - done and be asked me for some property like thit whicklad beensteles: from as. We let him have an umbrella, as a pattern, but we never saw him or the umbeella since tin now. Lee—l am ready to give up the umbrella, which I took nterely to assist ate in the investigation—(A laugh). The Loan Marna observed to the City Solicitor, who attended upon the occasion, that this case, be apprehended, did not come within the meaning of the Act, as Mr. Musick had given no money. The Qty Solicitor WAS of the same opinion. Mr. Penick further stated, that he was present when the pri-, setter spoke to Mi. Prier,the silversmith, who had been robbed subsequently. Lee said to Mr. Piter, that the-stolen property was at three different places; and that If he was sufficiently remunerated he would produce it. The Loan Mama.—You are here accused of obtaining money under pretence of getting back part of the property that had been stolen. Lee—There is nothing against me wkate►er—(A laugh). The Loan Mairoa—..You'll had that we have quite enough against you.—The case was then remanded till Friday. GUILDHALL • Two jews, of the names of pu ps and Allen, men well known to the Police as experienced" Duffers," were on Tuesday taken into custody in Fliet street, after having in vain endeavoured to palm off one countryman, at a high price, a worthies; diver watch, which they represented as b e in g ve ry ;Astable.
