COURT OF KING'S BENCH, OCTOBER 26. . v This_day the LORD CHIEF JUSTICE sat at Guild hall, London, to dispose of the remaining causes on the paper. PEARSON V. HOLDING AND ANOTHER. This was an action brought by Mr. Pearson, against the defendants, as proprietors of the 'footing and Mitcham coach; to recover a compensation for the injury lie had received from the careless driving of the defendants' servant. The particulars of the case were as fellow.:—On the evening of the 21st of Fe bruary last, .about seven o'clock;the plaintiff was re turning to town, with'his v. ife and child, in his chaise, and when arrived near the foot of London Bridge, he observed two stages and four coming at a furious rate down the bridge. Alarmed for the safety of those with him, he drew up near the kirbstone, and stood still, to let them pass. The first passed clear, but the 'second, which was the defendants coach, caught the wheel of the chaise, threw it over and broke it to pieces. The plaintiff and Mrs. Pearson were thrown out, and •seriously hurt.. The horse, which was a very fine one, ran away, arid was so much injured that he was obliged to be killed. The defence set up was, an attempt to prove that it was not the defendants' coach which did the damage. • The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—Da mages £2OO. MOHARMON V. WOLFS. This was an action to recover from the defendant the value of ,a 1001.. Bank of England note, which had been stolen from the plaintiff, and it was alleged had come improperly into the hands of the defendant. From the effidence it appeared that the note was stolen from the plaintiff by a boy named Geofge Biggs, who was in the plaintiff's employ, and who had since, with his brother Richard Biggs, been tried rand convicted at the Old .Bailey, and both transported. A witness, named J ane Somerfield, deposed, that in March last she went with Richard Biggs to the Rosemary Branch,. Sr. Catherine's-hill, where they met George Watts. Richard Biggs here got into trouble, and was taken to the . watch-house. George Watts afterward's took the witness to the defendant's house; she had the 1001. the same now produced in WHITAKER V. BOARDMAN AND ANOTHER. This was -an action brought by a corn and flour factor to recover a loss sustained by the improper de livery of a fiu!uvity.of flour. It appeared that seve ral sacks of flour had been ordered to be shipped on board a vessel at Yarmouth, called the William, in stead or whiCh they *ere shipped on board the Wynd ham, and never,-reached the plaintiff. ' The alleged loss by the wrong shipment a as .501. Several witnesses were examined to prove the plaintiff's case. • The COMMON SERJEANi contended that the plaintiff had no property in the flour to enable hint to support the action, but the Jury, under all the circumstances, found a verdict for theplaintiff.—Darnages, 601. SMITH V. DAY. .. This action was brought by the assignee of atank rupt, to recover 571. fer•lioard•arid lodging furnished,l the defendant by Holms, the . bankropt. The contract foie board and lodging was proved. The defence was, that previous to the bankruptcy 14 . Halms, a debt was due to. Day, and it was agreed to se,t off one demand against the other. It was urged .on the part of the defendant that nothing could be more harsh than the endeavour made by the assig, need to tnake.the defendant take for his debt a small dividend. under the commission, and at the same time compel, him to pay the full amount of the debt he had contracted with the bankrupt. A witness, harried Shepherd, stated that he was present when a conversation took place between 'HOlins'and Day-about their respective debts. The witness heard a. prop:hal . made to set one debt off agaiust.the other, but the bankrupt annexed a condi tion to which the defendant did not accede. The Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff — Damages 571. n•lsoLvEvr DEBTORS' COURT. Yesterday, Philip ,11.Gman was opposed by Mr. HEAT{(, on behalf of several creditors. The insolvent, as soon as his case was called on, addressed the Court, and asked leave to relate all the circumstances of his case, as far as related to the ship Lod Nelson, and to his marriage with the widow Roberts, or, as she was called in the Newspapers, the buxom widow Roberts. The insolvent, without wait- ing for any reply from the Court, proceeded to relate his story with a volubility that rendered him scarcely intelligible. He said he married the widow Roberts in St. Andrew, New Brunswick ; soon after which he came to this country with his .wife. lie purchased the Lord. Nelson, partly with his wife's money, and partly with his own; and having entered into a char ter party to go to Nladeira, his wife gave out that he was going to run away with the cargo, in consequence of which he was arrested, and was obligod• to let a ship-broker. put a master in the vessel, who went the ; .and although she made £l3OO freight, the master brought her, in debt £4OO. The insolvent proceeded to state, that the ship was illegally de tained in the river Thames, that her register was ille gally detained by the ship-broker, and that his credi tors and his wife, had entered into a conspiracy to rain him. He was proceeding with great fluency,. when the Chief Commissioner told him, that when he had exhausted his abuse of his wife and creditors, he must answer the questions put to Ciirn by• Counsel. The insolvent, on receiving this check, .declared himself ready - to answer; and in reply to the.quei tions put to him by Mr. 'Fleath, stated,,that 110 . was committed to WhireCross-street prisou.onthe.9th of December, 1820, and was removedby liabeas Cor pus to the King's Bench, on the 4thof.May, On reference to the affidavit filed • in, the Court, on which the insolvent obtained leave to petition ; it-ap peared that it stated, that the insolvent ha,clbeelf first committed to prison on the 4th of May,: 1$(2,1:. and:. had not petitioned within 14 days from that d?fp, in the expectation that he would be able to pay all hii creditors by the sale of his ship, the Lord nels4 Mr. HEATH submitted, that the insolvenesfetition• could not be allowed to stand. It stated the4ime of the insolvent's arrest five months later than it wit; i.n reality ; and, in consequence, it did not account for his not petitioning within 14 days after he was ar rested; but fOr not petitioning during 1.1• days that did not arrive for several months after his arrest. The COURT said, that the objection taken by the Learned Counsel was fatal to the Petition, which must be dismissed. John Harman came up to be heard on his Petition to be discharged, and was opposed-by Mr. POLLOCK, on behalf of a creditor named Lowe, and by several other creditors in person. The insolvent was a milkman, in Kingsland-road, and had purchased a cow from each of his opposing creditors, previous to the month . of•Aril, when, he stated, he sold four cows and a horse and 'cart to another milkman, in payment of a debt of £2B; and in the month following he sold the rest of his cows to pay his landlord, but the produce not being sufficient,' the landlord put in a distress, and sold everything, even the shoes off. his children's feet, and a straw ' snattras on which they ,lay. The landlord was examined, and did nbt deny the Lin..olvent's statement. • Several of the insolvent's creditors were ermined, ~, SEviwi-Pvib*: and all proved that ale insolvent %iced tbefoiii ch‘ift; . . he said he had sold in April, as his own, dowel Id the time of his arrest in August, soon after which they were sold at Smithfield at a marderinfpria t4 10s. a cow. The horse and 'cart - appeared tcrtre the insolvent's to the present time. ' --.t ..The insolvent called the milkman to wham he stated be 14rd sold the cows and the horse and tart and be gave an account of the purchase,'"Orhicli was wholly at variance with the insolvent's. . . The CounT said, the case at first appitateAtete one of undue preference to a particular creditor, but the witness called by the insolvent made it evident it was one of concealment of properly, and of palpable perjury; the judgment of the Court therefore was, than the insolvent should be remanded for twelve months; • We are happy to find that the public . symiathY has been excited in favour of Mr. EonzaT ottz.tir, whose reduced cirsumstances we have already stated: The farmers of the parish of Wily, who knew him in his prosperous days, disliking to see him on the high- way breaking stones, have within these few weeks resolved to allow him the parish pay without work. There_ is now living at Thomastown, Ireland, a woman of'the advanced age of 109 years; Her name is Elizabeth Walsh or Boyle: She was once in good circumstances, but is now reduced to great poverty, and is actually supporting three persons of her fourth generation in the,greatest want. About six years ago a person in the parish of Tullober, in Kilkenny; took a house clandestinely from the landlord, and -put her and five fatherless children out of it, which ,has .since left her without a residence for herself and these orphans. She and her descendants were a few ,days ago lying on a cold floor, without a bed-cover ing, in this cold weather: nor had she a cloak to cover her aged,body, now, more than 109 years old. On the after-noon of Sunday se'nnight, the body of _ Mr:3l'llroy, undertaker at Kildonan, parish of Col .A yrshire,. was found in the water of Dusk, at Pinwherry Bridge. Mr. M'llroy rode to Girvan on the prectding day, and it is supposed that, on his re turn home, he had either been swept from his horse while attempting to ford the river at the wooden bridge, near Kildonan, or that the horse had stumbled in crossing the bridge, as the animal came home at one o'clock in the morning, with the bridle on its neck. Friday senaight, as a man, his ss i!e, and child, were returning from Brilten, they were luacked by font' men, who pinioned the man and ts , ,ed the woman in a manner delicacy prevents us mentioning ; after this brutal conduct they left them, and the unfortunate wo wan, in attempting to get up, fell backwards into the canal, where she was drowned, before her husz band could give her any assistance. Information was given to the Police , _ Manchester, and three men were apprehended in the neighbourhood, and the officers me: the fourth on the road to Manchester They were ail committed to Lancaster Castle. - RESURRECTION NEN—Theft)'lowing circumstance has excited considerable attention in Bristol during the past week. On Monday night a grave was opened in Sr. Augustine's church-yard, and the..body of a female taken therefrom. On the same evening two men, one of whom had a sack on his back, were ob.. served entering the door of a. dissecting-room, .in Lower College-street, which is sittiated'over the shop of asreen-grocer, and with-which, strange as it might seem, it has a common entrance from. the street... the woman who keeps the.shop had, it is supposed, little reason to be satisfied with the business usually trans acted up stairs, and, therefore, on the present occa sion,. she had very strong suspicions as to the' con tents of the sack, and resolutely opposed the entrance of the man and his burden. The latter, ho• Never, gained a lodgment; but the woman soon commuhi‘ cated her fears to her neighbours, and in consequence a considerable number of peopleassembled about the house. Among the rest, there was a man who had lately buried his wife, and who,'on learning the cir cumstances, immediately pfoceeded to the church.; yard, where he found that the grave had been dis turbed, and the .body taken away. ShOCked at the discovery, he returned. to the:disstaing-room, and having, by means of A ladder, gained an entrance from one of the windows, .the first object which met his eye was the sack, containing the body . of his wife, lyihg rinder.one of the bergehes: The man was &le lowed into the room by several of his friends, and a sharp contest ensueil, but ultimately the corpse was carried off-by the right owner. . •The Rev.
