This was an action by the East India Company against the firm of Barclay and Co. bankers, to re cover a sum of £55,000, which the plaintiffs had paid, as they alleged, on the faith of the defendants' indemnity, and which afterwards they were obliged to pay over again, ill consequence of the decision of a Court of Law, that the original payment was im properly made. In 1809, a Gentleman named Hope, who had been long resident at Madras, determined on returning to England; and in order more safely to transmit his effects, converted them into bills drawn on the East India Company by the Presidency of Madras, and remitted the hills to a Gentleman named Card, residing in Lonem, and carrying on business' in partnership with k person narited Davis. He took his oWn passage in a ship called the Jane; Duchess of Gordon, which was lost, and 'in which he unfortunately perished. Before his fate was known,., the bills reached the hands of Mr. Card, who had been accustomed to act for him under a power of attorney, and who then kept cash with Barclay and Co. as his bankers. Mr. Card took on himself to endorse the bills to Barclay and .Co. " by procuration of Mr. Hope," in order that they might obtain payment from the Company when the bills should become due, hot without receiving from them any value. Messrs. Barclay and Co. in their turn, endorsed the bills, which, with these endorsements, were presented to the Company for payment ; and the Company, find ing that Mr. Card had a power of attorney, which they conceived gave him authority to endorse.as Mr. j-lope's agent, paid the bills, and Mr. Card received ose amount for which they were di awn. After the proceeds had thus passed into the hands of Mr. Card, who, with his partner, subsequently became insolvent,' news was received of the misfortune. which tenni.' nated Mr. /lope's life. - His next of kin, Mr. Jrtnes l Murray, obtained administration of his estate and' effects, and demanded of the East India Company ' payment of the bills, on the ground that Mr. eitd; had no authority _to endbrsetliem. and that, there• fore, the payment made to Mr. Cat d'senclorsees. was made by the Company in . their.own wrong. The administrator enforced this claim by action, and uli. timately succeeded, OR the ground that Mi.. Ctird hid exceeded his authority, and that therefore the Company were still liable to pay the amount of the bills. Upon this decision, the Company paid the bills The THISTLE gun-brig arrived last week at Ports. over again to Mr. Murray, and sought by the pre mouth from the coast of Africa, where it appears sent action to obtain repayment from Barclay and that Sir CHARLES M'CARTHY, the British Governor Co. who, they contended, had, by endorsing the bills,' of.

The object of the prisoner was evidently to escape. from his imprison ment, and not to commit a theft; he v4as therefore acquitted of the charge, but ordered to be detained fur the offence for which he was originally taken.
