' l I 1 4 <<• s ~ ,~.. • . BANKRUPT PETITIONS. • LAW INTSLLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, JUNE S. Tuesday, his Lordship appointed this day, among others, for the purpose of giving judgment in various uses that had long been before the Court. When, however, his Lordship took his seat, several Bank tupt Petitions were proposed for his consideration, as being of the most urgent nature, and it was hoped they would not be further delayed, as they pressed si.verely upon the respective parties. The Lorin CtsaNcELLoa said he was as well aware of the necessty of taking these Petitions as any other person ; indeed, he himself had received many corn _ inunicatiens from individuals, on whom this delay bore particularly hard, stating the peculiar severity of their different cases, with which he was not wholly unacquairaed. I lis Lordship said he was convinced! that unless the Court interposed, and some fresh re gulations were made with rc,pect to these Petitionk! ailjouritnient after adjoutnment would take place— they would be made to give way to matters of the , " utmost importance," as Counsel termed it, till in the end they would remain unheard. Saturdays were! set aoart for disposing of this species of business, and that must be adhered to. On SatUrday next, theca fore, the whole day would be devoted to the hearing of Petitions. • The judgment in the case of Chappell and Cadell, which had been appointed for this day, ,was then fur ther ordered for Tuesday next. The remainder of the day was consumed in dispos i..,4 of Petitions, and the Court rose at two o'clock. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JUNE 8. THE KING V. HECTOR. This application was made to the Court by Mr. IlattursoN, in the course of last Term, for a criminal information against the defendant, who is steward to Mr. Joliffe, a Gentleman who holds considerable pro petty, and necessarily of great influence, in the bo rCllgli of Petersfield. . Mr. SCARLELT skewed cause against this Rule, vCoich had, he said, been obtained on the affidavit of a respectable Solicitor, named Atcheson, who charged Mr. Hector with having committed several misde meanours. It would have been more desirable had these charges assumed a more specific shape, and condescended upon more defined particulars—then they could have been better answered. The real tact was, that Mr. Atcheson, who was a man of propt-rty also, had taken up his country residence at Peters field, and done various acts to demonstrate the inte rest he was disposed to take in the affairs of the bo rough. Now the misdemeanours which the defen dant had committed were merely a feeling expressive or his determination to prefer the interest of his own patron and friend to that of Mr. Atcheson, in the borough. The affidavit charged Mr. Hector with summoning jurors, and appointing a returning of ficer for elections of Mayor of the borough, with the view of forwarding the canvassing purposes of Mr. Joriffe; now he (Mr. Scarlett) challenged his Learned iends to point out a single tact to justify the crimi nal imputations levelled at Mr. Hector. On the face of the proceeding there were certainly no grounds for sustaining a criminal information. Mr. HARRISON, in reply, contended that.the affi davits filed in Court detailed sufficient matter to sup port the corrupt inference ascribed to Mr. Hector, and to skew that he selected the Jurors for party pur- . . poses, and to promote the election of Mr. Joliffe as Mayor of the Borough. The ultimate object was Carly electioneering, and the exclusion of particular and very respectable persons, sufficiently established the motives which governed the defendant. In answer to questions from the Court, Mr. HAR RISON said that his affidavit did not deny that the object of his clients was also to promote party in the Borough. It was silent upou that head, and he be lieved their motives were pure. The COURT said, that as other questions were in volved in the present, they would postpone delivering their opinion upon the Rule until the first day of next Term.----The Court rose at five o'clock. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, JUNE 8. 2.IATTHEWS V. REYNOLDS. Mr. Serjeant PELL stated, that this was an action brought by the plaintiff', a widow Lady, to recover a compensation in damages from the defendant for a breach of promise of marriage. It appeared that the plaintiff was about forty-five years of age, and the defendant at least ten years older. In 1815 the for mer husband of the plaintiff died, and the defendant was appointed one of the executors of the will. In 1820, the defendant made proposals of marriage, and in the August of the following year entered into a marriage settlement, by which all the property the plaintiff possessed was settled on her, to be absolutely at her disposal. In last November the defendant re fqsed.to perform his contract, and the present action was then instituted. Mr. Serjeant VAUGHAN addressed the Jury for the defendant. He observed, that in this case no wounded affections nor hopes of settlement for life had been blasted . by the conduct of the defendant ; and he u usted, therefore, that if the Jury gave any damages, they would strictly measure them by the injury sus tained, which, in his opinion, was little or nothing. Lord Chief Justice DALLAS charged the Jury, who, after consulting for about ten minutes, found a ver dict for the plaintiff—Damages £5O. Between subsidies in time of war, and loans in time of peace, England does her part in supporting the legitimate" Governments of Europe. Many persons think that Mr. VANSITTART might lay a stamp duty on these bonds negociated in England, which would raise for him a larger sum of money than he can ever hope to receive from his new plan for sellinf Annuities to pay the Pensioa and Half-pay Lists. kor Austria, Russia, and Prussia, fully ten millions will be required, aad he might as well have helped himself to half a million out of this sum as nor.

A watch man soon came ; witness told him if he did not go up stairs im mediately murder would be committed : be refined till he got another watchman to go with him: Witness then went up stairs with them. On entering the room she saw the prisoner standing over Martini's bed With a knife in his band ; the prisoner did not speak; the watchman took the knife from him; bliiabeth MeotH tin and the bed were covered with blood ; she said m the pri soner, "for Goo's sake, Tom; have mercy on me; I know I am murdered, and will die soon!" Several persons soon came int* the room; the prisoner was taken to the watchhouse, and Eliza? teeth Martin to the hospitai—Thomas Quinlan, the watchman whd answered the call of the first witness, cbrroborated her statement of the facts. after he was called. On getng into the room where the prisoner was, witness cried out to him, " You villain. put down the knife ;" but the prisoner took no notice of, it. Witness then struck him several times on the armibut he still held the knife, which the witness at length caught hold of and rescued from him. Elizabeth Martin was in a dreadful state, covered, with blood. She called fur a doctor, and said she should soon die. Witness took the prisoner to the watchhouse. William Bachelor, the second watchman, stated, that when the knife was taken from the prisoner, he (the witness) went for a surgeon. He afterwards went to the watchhouse, where he asked the prisoner what he had killed the woman fur? be said, " the Devil told me."—Robt it Clayton, the landlord of the house in which Martip and the prisoner lodged, stated, that about six months ago he let the room they occupied to tile psi.. loner's mother, who was in service. She employed Martin to take care of the prisoner. Witness had but little opportunity of observing the prisoner's conduct, but considered hint foolish, and understood he had lucid intervals, and sometimes worked. The prisoner lately said, he had dreamed that he should certainly die on the 21st of the present month, and was sure it would come to pass. Witness lived in the house adjoining that in which Martin and the prisoner lodged, and being awoke by the noise of calling the watchmen, he followed them into the room, where he saw Elizabeth Martin in such • state, that he was certain at the time she must soon bleed to death. There was a cut on the back of her neck, into which he could thrust his hand : there were also ' severe cuts on her arm, chest ' and other parts of her person. When she saw witness, she said to him, " My dear Mr. Clayton, why did you not some sooner? I'll soon die . Mr. Amesbury, a sur geon, and several other persons, came into the room soon after. Eliz. Martin was taken to the Hospital, and the prisoner to the watchhouse. Witness asked prisoner at the watchhouse why he killed Mrs. Martin? His reply was," she put a cap on my head." The wretched prisoner stood at the Bar while tuffs evidence was given, apparently wholly regardless of everything that was pass- ing around him—his whole appearance expressive of a state of melanchey idiotism. It was stated, that he was so very deaf as not to hear the evidence, and the Magistrate caused him to be asked, in a manner which it was evident he did hear, why he had cut the woman in the dreadful manner he had dour? The question was repeatedly asked, but his answers were quite in coherent. In reply to the several repetitions of the question, he said, " She put a cap on my head--she left a mug and knife on the table—l drank the beer—l heard a noise at the door, and thought they were coming up to put me to death. I dreamed I died and came to life again, and that a Minister told me I was the son of GOD and would have a crown of glory—l have no more to say." A certificate from Mr. Curtis, the house-surgeon of St. Bartholomew's Hospital, was read, which stated, " that Elizabeth Martin had several severe wounds on different parts of her body, particularly one in the back part of her neck ; and that she must be considered in a very dangerous state." No person belonging to the unfortunate prisoner appeared at the Office. He was remanded to be brought up again, when further evidence could be produced respecting the state of his mind, and the fate of the poor woman should be known. It was evidently the opinion of all those who had seen her that she could not possibly recover. TITHES. TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAR. SlR—The enormity of the Tithe System has be come so apparent, as tar as Ireland is concerned, that it is generally admitted some change must take place; but it has been studiously asserted in the House of Commons, that in England the system is materially different ; and in the House of Lords, the Marquis of Downshire is reported, upon the second reading of the Bill for the Employment of the Poor in Ire land, to have said, that " there was no similarity in the mode of collecting tithes in Ireland and in Eng ' land, and it did net in the least follow, that because a change of system took place in Ireland, there must necessarily be a change in England." Now, these assertions, if uncontroverted, may lead those who are unacquainted with the subject to believe, that the burden is here comparatively light, whereas it is in fact more oppressive than in Ireland, for there no agistment tithe is paid;* in all other respects the law is the same, and the same vexatious proceedings take place for the enforcement of the right. For in stance, in the parish where I reside, tithe is taken from the poorest labourer, occupying but a few feet of garden-ground, for raising potatoes and cabbages for the support of a starving family; and to the Far mer the system is fraught with vexation and op pression. I shall say . nothing of the injustice of sweeping away a tenth of the produce of his land, without regard to the cost of production, and shall only remark upon the vexation he is subject to, upon failure of complying with the demands of the Cie! , gyman for composition. Every head of cattle or sheep he brings upon his farm; if hut for a single night ; every one that dies, or is stolen, he must keep an exact account of (and this upon oath), in order that the tithe for a day's keep may not be lost ; every time milk is taken from the cow, a mess of vegetables from the garden, or eggs from the nest, notice must be sent to the tithing-man, perhaps at the distance of two or three miles; in short, in every step that he takes in his business, he is obliged to proceed with the utmost circumspection, lest by inadvertence he should incur some of those heavy penalties which the law has so liberally prOvided for the protection of the property of the Chuich ; this is the state of things in' this parish (and I mention it not a s a singular in stance), with those who will not comply with the Parson's demands, and I will leave you to judge of the nature of them when I tell you, that they are' as high as when corn was at the utmost price during the war. Now, I should be glad to know in what con sists. the difference of the system here and in Ireland,' and why a change is not as imperiously called for , here as there? It has been repeatedly said that the composition for tithes in this country has been generally very mo derate; this I deny, because, in addition to the sum required, the Clergy have genei ally stipulated fur an exemption from poor -rates, and all other parochial • Agistment tithe Is tithe paid for the food of cattle eaten on the ground where it grow*. _ scls sw last sis Spauia 1 • and th their it upticn since J it woul insuuc 1- "kaki -- - - Gunsnms...—kruee' garra 4t idiv rir As! ••Aittnrday, Thomas Mackie MOO% a stoat stste4n years of age, rim eherged Witb delponscip liesnded Elisabeth Martin.
