BISHOPSGATE WARD. in tha precint lists the names of Mr. Harvey and Mr. !White were omitted. The former...however, was put in no mination by bis friends, and three new candidates were pro posed, viz. Mr. H. Sandford, Mr. W. Petreoc,k, and Mr. W. Morley. Mr. Fearon stood forward to oppose the reelection of Mr. -Harvey, on the ground that that gentleman's conduct during the last year had been completely at variance with the pi in ciples whirls be professed, and which, it' adhered to by hint, might establish a proper ground fur his present claim. Mr. Harvey, he would contend, so far from maintaining Parlia mentary Retinas, had abandoned it in the hour of trial, by Matte conduct in the Common Council, and in so acting, had abandoned the only principle which entitled him to popular forma; for that was the only principle which the present times required to -have put in full force, and without it all other measures would be but as palliatives for the national disease. This gentleman then took aa , eview of the conduct of Ministers during the host sitting of Parliament, in the course of which he reprobated the whole of their proceedings. The grant to the poor clergy ought to have cmanecn! from the rich bishops, twenty•four of n horn enjoyed an income of 10,0001. per annum, which was quite at variance with the meekness of their apostolic character. He then went into a review of the past history of thirty years of the American colonies, of France, and Ireland, and drew conclusions from the state ofeach, that it' Parliamentary Reform bad then sub sisted, the state of things which had since existed could never have have taken place. He was particularly anxious to oppose the re-election of Mr. Harvey. Mr. Itarvey, In reply, thanked the gentleman for the oppor tunity he had afforded him of defending his conduct. He then entered into a les iew of hi , public conduct, In the course of which Le avowed his opposition to the present ministry, while -at the same time he declared his conviction of the necessity of a practical I etbrm, not one of an ideal and impractihie cha racter, hut which WOlll4 go to an election by ballot; for, otherwise, the smite evil influence would be felt in elections that now reviled. He was neither connected with Mr. Jacks nor Mr Waithman, - any further than concurring with them when he thought they were richt. He had never dined at the Corporation dinners, and was determiued never to com promise his principles at the nod of Ministers, or to the popular (i nlet ! , of their opponeuts• 1 1 1 hat heisted been be would still continue. Mr. Lcwaitie replied to this speech, and severely censured tl:e conduct of Mr. Harvey for opposing the o ply question of rafotui Khich had been introduced in the Common Council during the last )ear. The profession of good principles, and the practical departure frornAltem, showed the impossibility, er dein tiding on a MOO who could .he capable of such con duct. On the show of hands being called for, the appearanoowas unfits ouroble to Ms... Harris, Manned by the precinct of All. ballot% s, and also Mr. Peacock and Mr. Morley. For the two last, a poll was demanded. It was, however, ado some con. imitation, declined, and the election terminated with no other alteration in lust 3 ear's list than the substitution of Mr. Sand lot d fur Mr. W bite. In the ward of Farrington ithont, Mr. Thempson„ took eceasion to animadvert upon the conduct of the Lord Mayor' in the late riots, and to reprehend -him for wasting so match time in the perusal of idle hoaxes respecting young Wittson. lie alto describes his Lordship as a Trimmer, and one -mini did not support the principles of reform in that bolditad de cided manner which should at ad times eltanteteriae the man mho bail the real interests of bis conntry at heart. Ques tions of a po'itical nature were also discussed in many of the other tweiit:s tour wards, to which, from our limits, it would be impossible to do .instice. In the Court of King's Bench on Saturday, She fol lowing cause was tried. SNOW r. ALLEN. 'Phis was an action for damages, the declaration complain ing that the deli natant had maliciously and unjustly caused the plaintiff to be arrested on the 28th Decendier, 1813, and hail detained hint in prison till the 7111 of Febrnary, 181 I. The facts appeared to be the following:--The plaintiff i• a Captain in the army, and during his minority had incurred u debt to the defendant, a tailor in Bond-street, to the amount of 981. After he came of age, he acknou [edged the demand, and the defendant, not being able to procure pay ment. arrested him. The father of the plaintiff, and a friend Er the name of Mitchel, became ids bail, and Capt. Snow pro ceeded to his regiment on foreign service. The defendant l ammed li;•• action, and obtaining a verdict and judgment, he penceeded :against the bail for debts and costs, the plaintiff continuing abroad. The father made a composition at five shillings in the pound, and Mitchel went to prison; heroine bankrupt, and was discharged under his cer titicate, in the mean time Captain Snow had been appointed to another regiment, and lie was proceeding to join, when ..e 2Stli flecember 1813,11 e was arrested u4ain at the suit •01 . the plaintiff, wir was slut satisfied with tic MULLS obtaiucd EGISTER. from tile L iii. From ILtstiu2s the plaintiff was conveyed in costotty to Dover Castle, troM thence he was removed to the King's Bench, and from thence was discharged on the ith of February, 1811, on application to the Court, and after artn mt•nt. _ _ Attorney-General, in stating the plaintiff's cue, enlarged much upon the injury his client had sustained by the unjustifiable proceeding of the defendant in the action, after he had been warned that the Court had decided against it. The personal inconvenience was also very con 4derahle and the arrest and confiniment were in jurious both to the plaintiff's character and promotion : what was most grievous, however, to a young soldier was. that by the conduct of the defendant, he had been prevented from fi;.,liting among his com rades at tine battle of Waterloo. Under all the einvmsuroces he left it to the Jury to decide what damaKes on individual so harassed, per secuted, and injured, ought to receive. Admissions were put in, agreed by both parties, which rendered unneconary parole evidence, of nearly all the facts above detailed. The principal admission was, that soon after the arrest of the plain tiff in December, to v. the plaintiff 's attorney wrote to the defend ma's attorney, citing many decided cases, to show that it was not al lowed that a party shotiLl proceed against the principal after the debt had been paid or cornpounded for by the bail. l'he answer of the defendant's attorney referred to as many authentics the other way, which, it was conceived, justified the proceeding. The plaintiff's attorney proved the discharge of his client on appli cation to the Court of king's Bench ; the expence appeared to es coed MA. The case heurg cord, Mr. Suiten addressed the jury fur the de. Evident, expressing some surprise at the manner in a hich the Attor. ney-General had opened. Ile CMG S.) apprehended that the facts justified nu part of the pathetic appeal made to the jury ; and least of all, what had been said to enhance tne damages renowting the dis appointment of a young soldier at bring debarred from fighting on the field of Waterloo• What had, in truth, detained Capt. Snow, the learned Counsel could not decide; but assuredly it was not the conduct of the defeudatit, for the battle did not take place till June, 1815, and the plaintiff had been liberated from prison nearly 18 months before, in Feb. 1814. Ile desired the jury, should it come to the question of compensation, to measure the rest of the case by that standard. It was clear that the defendant had gained nothing by the steps he had been legally edvised to take, excepting a loss; for he was at present loot. out of pocket, besides the amonut of the ori ginal debt not covered by the composition and dividend of the buil. The learned counsel, however, submitted, first, in point of law, that the plaintiff could not recover, inasmuch as it was alleged in the de claration that the arrest and imprisonment had limn malicious, whereas no malice had been attempted to be proved. The Attorney-General submitted, that it was to be drawn from the facts, more especially after the notice which the plaintiff's attor ney had given, that the defendant could not proceed against the prin. ci Lord Flleriborough was of opinion that there might be enough to show negligence and mistake on the part of the plaintiff and his at torney, the latter of whom had been misled by the authorities he quoted in Ids reply. l'heve was not, however, sufficient evidence to prove any malice on the part of the defendant, and the plaintiff ought therefore to be nonsuited. The plaintiff was called accordingly. BIRTHS. The lady of John Bacon. I..sti.ollrien Howe, Colney Hatch, of a son.—ln Upper Grosvenor-street, the lady of the Hon. Gerard Vannettog a daughter.
