TIVCIPP"^"" ' . V '`''•:. LA7 INDELLIGENCE. VICR-CHANOILLOR'S COURT, AUGUST 9. EX-PARTE CHELSEA HOSPITAL IN RE ABBOTT. Mr. HEALD, on behalf of the petitioner, Sir Charles Long, Treasurer of Chelsea Hospital, applied to the Court to allow the Sub-treasurer cf the Hospital to prove a debt, under the Bankrupt Commission of Ab bott, to set aside the assignees chosen under that Commission. The Learned Counsel stated that the Commissioners, as he conceived, had unjustifiably re jected the proof of the Sub-treasurer, and cited the Act 24 Geo. 111. commonly called the Prize Act, to shew the power of the Sub-treasurer to prove under the Commission. The Act distinctly authorized per sons appointed by the Treasurer to do all matters and things contained in that Act. Mr. BELL, who was_ on the other side, contended that the clause in the Act cited, related to persons specially appointed by the Act. The Sub-treasurer.was an officer performing his duties previo us to this Act. The COVET concurred in this suggestion. As to the clarice of assignees, the Court never interfered except ing in extreme cases, where Commissioners had acted with a dishonest intention, or where such an error had been committed by them, as to exclude nine-tenths of the bona fide creditors. In this peculiar instaace, the Commissioners had acted properly in rejecting the proof of the Sub-treasurer. Mr. HEALD proceeded to argue the case in supe port of the petitioner. He thought he could shew the Court the necessity of ordering fresh assignees to be appointed. The assignees, it would be found, were not competent to undertake the duties which were. imposed upon them. ' The Cover would be happy to hear any case cited in which that principle had been acted upon. At pre sent, it seemed that the Court could go no further. Mr. H EA L D apprehended, that in this peculiar case, the Court would consider the public interest, and act, even if no precise precedent could be found. This, the Court would recollect, was an application on be half of a great body, and both Greenwich Hospital and Chelsea Hospital had consented. The assignees now appointed had no knowledge whatever of prize business, and this was absolutely requisite in con ducting such important concerns. One of them was an auctioneer, a very good sort of man no doubt, avid knew well enough how to knock down an estate by the hammer, but was wholly ignorant of prize business. He thought, therefore, the Court would here deviate from its usual course. . The COURT said it would not deviate one inch from its usual course. Mr. HEALD would not trouble h is Honour any further with the Petition. Mr. 13eu, ob erved, that in fact there was no prize business for the assignees to decide upon, excepting the matter now before the Court. • • The COURT said, that even if there were prize bu•' sines>, that did not form a part of the prayer of the Petitioners. It was not averred that the assignees were incompetent to discharge the duties. In none but extreme cases had the Court acted, in appointing fresh assignees . , M. l-lEALD thought the Court might order the Treasurer to prove under the commission. Mr. liEu. said that such an order would•be unne cessary, as the Act before cited gave the Treasurer a power to prove, in the same manner as individuals. The'CounT thought that in case it could be shewn that the assignees were so grossly ignorant as to be wholly incempetent to undertake. the. task imposed. upon them, it would be the duty of the Treasurer of Chelsea Hospital to -present a Petition to the Court,. stating the fact. In that .case, the Court- might be induced to act. As the matter now stood, the Peti tion must be dismissed without costs. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT. Villin Co4ton came up to be heard on his Petition to be discharged, and was opposed by a creditor named Sinith. Mr. Smith, who is a piano -forte maker, stated, that in April last, the Insolvent came to him and said he was commissioned by Mr. Ginger, or College -street, to purchase a piano-forte.for a lady, who was at his house on a visit; for which he (Mr. Ginger) would pay as soon as iccould be delivered at the lady's residence, and approved a, .wi k iol might be in a month. Mr. Smith, on this repretentation, gave, the Insolvent. a piano, and called at his house for payment in about five weeks after; when he learnt the Insolvent was not to be found, and some time after that he was in the king's Bench. . The Insolvent admitted that he sold' the piano the day after he.obtained it fromigr.•Smitlf. • • Mr. Ginger stated, 414 . he once employed the in solvent to purchase a .piane alady.who was at his house, but that was long berme April-last. •He never employed him th purchase-a Mr. HEATH, for thelnyilvent,ccintenZled, - , that the credit given was a pet-Sonar deli[ ~q.theJltssosiioiutiim self, and. not at all :in consequence-ofany mention he made of Mr. Ginger, as was evident, he said, from Mr. Smith having gi ven him ugdit . wiehout maki ng any inquiry. of that Getitlemin:' The COURT said, the.insolvent had evidently made the representation of having an order from: Mr. Gin ger for a piano, for the purpose of Obtaining credit, which would not probably have been given. to hifn had not his stor-y been believed; he had therefore ob tained the credit by misrepresentation,. and the judg ment of the Court was, that he should be remanded fur eight months from the date of his Petition. KENT ASSIZES. • CROWN SIDE,-ARSON. John Wraith was indicted for setting•fire to the house, barns, &c. ofWilliam Minter. It appeared that the prisoner was the son of a wealthy mercer at Canterbury. The prosecutor was the prisoner's first cousin, rind occupied a farm at Ickham, five miles from Canterbury. The prisoner was on very good terms with the prosecutor. In the afternoon of the 25th of June, he was detected in the act of setting fire to the prosecutor's ricks. The flames speedily commuricated with the dwelling and 'out houses, and in a short time the whole premises were consumed.. The prisoner had left Canterbury for the purpose of taking a walk, and had gone to his cousin's house when the offence was perpetrated. It was admitted on the part of the prisoner, that he had been guilty of the rash act complained of; hut his Counsel proposed to shew that the prisoner was at the time, and considerably before, an undoubted lunatic. Mile witnesses, amongst whom *is the prisortit's father, were then called to prove, that for six months before the period in question, the.prisoner was flighty in his conduct. His uncle had died mad, and his cousin had died in Bethlen]. It • did not appear that the prisoner had ever had any medical advice, and •no medical man eras examined. All the witnesses, how ever, concurred in stating a variety of circumstances, clearly indicating that the prisoner was non comps mentis.—The evidence was summed up by the Learned Judge, who left it to the Jury to say whether the pri soner, at the time the offence was committed, was capable of discerning right frdm wrong. The Jury found the prisoner Not Guilty, on the ground of insanity ; and he was ordered to remain in custody. . JVilliam Colegate and William W9thaar were in dicted for a conspiracy, with other persons, to affright and alarm John Stoneham and Joseph Sampson, Overseers of the Poor' f the-Parish of Stone, in the Isle of Oxney, in this county, on the.loth of April last, and, in pursuance of such conspiracy, shooting off loaded guns into the beds of the prosecutors. The case was this :—The prisoners were paupers in the parish of Stone, and being dissatisfied with the parish' allowance, expressel their determination of attacking the Overseers, as was stated by a man named Honeyset, an accomplice, and of firing at them when occasion suited. The prosecutors were respectively the incoming and outgoing Overseers of the parish last Easter. It was proved.that on'the night mentioned in the indictment the house of each of the prosecutors was attacked, and a gun fired into each whilst they were in their respective beds; but no fatal consequences ensued, thOugh the shots, which were large, lodged within a foot or two of their heads. From the evidence of the accomplice, it appeared that both prisoners had repeatedly expressed the most violent threats against the prosecutors, and that they would do for them, but inasmuch as it did not appear that they had any joint common purpose annexed to the presence of both. Messrs. ANDREWS and MARSHAU submitted that the indictment as for a conspiracy must fail. Mr. Justice PARK acqeiesced in the objection, and reluctantly told the Ju.y they must acquit the pri soners, however unlawful their individual conduct, from the evidence, appeared to have been. The Jury, therefore, found the prisoners Not Guilty. The Assizes are not expected to finish before the middle of next week. ••••••1•••.• are. ••••••m. THE KING V. CRUTCHEIVIUId ANOTHER. This was an indictment against the defendants, Thomas Crutcher and James Brown, for a conspi racy and riot on the 7th of February, in the parish of St. Paul's,Deptford, inorder to compel a person named Clay to leave his employment ai stage-coach driver; and in pursuance of such conspiracy carrying an effigy of him, and causing a riot on divers days men tioned in the indictment. The case proved in evidence was this—The prose cutor had been in the employment bf a coachmaster named Brown, owning coaches from Blackheath to. London. In the course of his employment he was (hiving his master's coach through the Borough, on the $d of February last, when the defendant Brown, the servant of a coachmaster named aiver, plying from Greenwich to London, drove his coach against that which the prosecutor was driving, and nearly upset it. The paSsengers were so much alarmed by the shock, that they insisted upon the prosecutor summoning l'n.nwn before the Magistrates at Union , Flail, for furiously and improperly driving ; and ac .cordingly - Brown was summoned, and, upon healing .of.the case, the Magistrates adjudged him to . pay a ; penally 01E5 ; one half to the poor of the parish, and the other to the informer. The offender paid the penalty, and it was distributed as the law directs. As scan as the case was disposed of, Clay sent for .Briewn out of the Justice-roorn, and tendered him his share of the penalty, saying, that he did not wish to take the monev,.as he had only done his duty in obe dience to'his instructions, and was very sorry for what had happeaed. Inste.td of taking the money, Brown began tarevile and abuse him as a common informer; and said that, if he.had him under the wheels of his coach, he would ;rush him and the money. The ad iiidicalion of the penalty took place on the 7th of j February. When the prosecut.l was returning with his coach in the evening, he stopped at the Centurion public-house, at Deptford, as ustial, and there found the defendants, Crutcher 'and Brown, who began to abuse him as an. htformer, and incited a crowd of that class ofpersons who usually attend stage-coaches, called cadsoy Millers; to join in the abuse. lie was hustled and Buffeted about, and was at last obliged to drive off with his coach as fast as he could. In the evening, after he had retired to rest, his house was beset by several of same persbns, who went down to Blackheath in a coach, and 'commenced a riot before his house, and renewed their abuse of him. Both the defendants were of. this party. On' . the nett and the two following dayi,' every time he passed the Centurion . public-house, in his way to a'id from. Lontion,he was subjected.to the same sort of offensive visitation. He was assailed with hoot jugs and groans, and reviled as a common Informer. —On bquie of these occasions the. defendants threw down money to the mob; and encouraged them to annoy him in every war they-could. One of the de fendants threatened that he would stick to him until he was driven off the road,: and that he should never drive a coach from London to Blackheath, Three several effigies wereenade of him, dressed as a coach man, with a whip under his arm, and with labels, designating him as a common informer. In order to point out who was intended by the effigies, pieces of clay were stuck on each side, and •on different parts of the figures. The effect of these proceedings was to prevent passengers from going by his coach ; and' at length his master was obliged to dismiss hint his service. Under these circumstances, he was advised: to indict the defendants, together - with eight other persons; for a conspiracy, in order to protect himself from further molestation. In consequence of the treatment the unfortunate man received, some of the inhabitants of Blackheath • entered into a subscription to purchase two coaches and two sets of hones, and set him up as a coachmaster on his own account, in testimonial of their good opinion of his general cha racter and conduct. After the indictment was found, he consented to stay proceedings, if the defendants would undertake not to molest him any farther, and pay the Attorney's bill of costs. To these terms the defendants consented, and the bill of costs being paid, the proceedings Were suspended ; but the defendants .having afterwards mewed Ouir systett . of annoy- r r ance, they were now brought to trial. The other' persons named in the indictment having forborne to repeat their misconduct, they were not served with process. This was an outline of the case. The prose cutoy's testimony was corroborated by two witnesses. After some discussion between the Counsel orkboth sides, it was agreed that a verdict of guilty for a riot should be recorded, the prosecutor undertajcing not to bring the defendants up for judgment, - upon their entering . into recognizance: to be of good behaviour, and, paying the expenses of the prosecution.. R ONALDA AND OTHERS V. SCOONI AND OTHERS. This was an action by wholesale provision mer chants and cheesemongers of Thames -street, against the. defendants, as proprietors of the Star Inn, Maid stone, upon their common law liability is innkeepers, to recover the value of a parcel of Bank notes stolen from the plaintiffs traveller, while he was a guest in their house. In October last, the plaintiffs' traveller had been attending Maidstone Fair, 'and had collected on his masters account about 251. in country bank notes, and some checks, from different customers of the house, in Maidstone and its neighbourhood. He so journed to the Star Inn to dine. He went out about nine o'clock to spend the evening, leaving his tra velling case, containing his money, in the travellers' room. About one o'clock he returned to the inn to sleep, and went to bed. Early in the morning he was roused by an inquiry whether lie had been rob bed ? He got up, and missed his money. His tra velling case had been found broken open on a wharf by the side of the river Medway, and, its contents gone; but in consequence of some scattered papers, the finder was led to the inn, and discovered the owner of the case. It was proved thattlnee strange' looking men had called at the inn in the evening to look for beds, and it was supposed that one of them had entered the travellers' room, and carried off the case in question. The CHIEF BARON charged the Jury, that, under the circumstances stated, there was no doubt of the defendants' liability ; and the Jury, under his Lord ship's directions, found their verdict fur the plain tiffs—Damages, Twenty-five Pounds, being the amount of the Bank notes lost, the plaintiffs waiving any claim in respect of the Banker's cheques, which had also been stolen. TIRE KING V.CRIPPEN AND OTHERS. This was an information filed by the ATTORNEY.. GENERAL against James Crippen, Crippen, and John Wilson, for a riot at Canterbury, on the 26th of April last. It appeared in evidence, that at the last Assizes, Ann, the wife of John Eldridge, a shoemaker, of Canterbury, was supcenaed as a witness against one out of nineteen prisoners who were then tried for an unlawful assembly on the coast of Kent, for the pur pose of effecting a landing of smuggled spirits. After the trial wis over, when the whole of the offenders were capitally convicted, she returned with her hus band to Canterbury, and found a mob assembled in the town, by whom both were assailed and stigma tized as informers. She was then advanced in preg nancy, and after she had been confined for about a fortnight, namely, in the evening of the 26th of April, a mob cralected in the front of her husband's house. The defendant, James Crippen, who lived opposite, brought out two effigies of a man and wo man,which were designated as Eldridges the informers, and set file to them. This collected a large mob, who threw stones and brick-bats at the door of the prose cutor's dwelling. As soon as the effigies were burnt, the mob threw burning embers into the windows, and afterwards forced open the door, to the great terror of the prosecutor and his wife. Some of the mob en tered, but they did not appear to have committed any farther violence. It appeared that the defendant, Jarnes Crippen, was the most active person in the riot. As to the other defendants, the only evidence was, that William Crippen appeared very much de lighted at what took place, and that Wilson was seen amongst the crowd by the prosecutor when his door was focced open. _ _ _ Mr. ADOLPHUS admitted, that he had no defence for his client, James Crippen, but . insisted that there was no evidence whatever upon which the other de• fendants could reasonably be convicted. • The LORD CHIEF BARON sumnied up the case for . the Jury with minuteness and impartiality. The Jury retired for ten minutes, and found the two Crippens Guilty, bur fdbnd Wilson NoI Yesterday afternoon a fire broke out in the pre- mises of Messrs. SHAKSPEARE REED and G. W. WAINWRIGHT, in White's-yard, Dock -street, Upper East Smithfield, near the western entrance of the London Docks. Messrs. SHAKSPEARE REED and WAINWRIGHT, carried on the largest plate-glass ma nufactory in London.' Although there was plenty of water, and the assistance of the fire-engines prompt, yet the devouring 'element defied human art to quench it: The premises, which appeared like well-built barracks, equal to the accommodation of 5,000 men, were on every side encompassed with buildings; and they ate now reduced to a heap of rtiins. CUMBERLAND, who commanded the picquet guard' of the Sd Guards at the Tower, instantly turned out, and brought the picquet to the spot. They' were of the most essential service in clearing away the neigh bouring ground for the firemen to work their engines; they were promptly assisted by Jeffery and his as sistants, of the Thames Police, aided also by the Gen tlemen in the neighbourhood, many of whom are constables, and were preparing to go to church when the work of necessity called them from theit religious duties. Nothing now remains of this large manufac tory but the shattered walls, expected every moment to fall, and a few rafters reduced to charcoal. The property destioyed is immense; judging altogether from the valuable business and extent, 100,6004 will not cover the damage. Those who are acqUainted whit the respectable firm, and especially with the head of it (Mr. SHAKSPEARE REED), will greatly la !meth the calamity. A great number of indu s t rious men are for a time thrown out of employment.
