Mr. Scarlett stated that this was an action, for money had and received by the defendant for the use of the plaintiff, the defendant pleaded that he was not liable.— Mr. Hall was formerly in the army, and had retired, after realizing a few hundreds. At this time he unfor tunately saw an advertisement in a public paper for a partner in an advantageous concern, capable of advancing a few hundreds, on which a large profit might be made without risk or trouble. The reference fur particulars was to the Echo-office, Newgate street. Mr. Hall applied to the Echo-office, and was informed the concern was a patent coffee roasting concern, and was situated in Worcester Place, Queenhithe. Mr. Ilall applied ac cordingly at Queenhulie, where he found Arnold, the defendant, and a permit named Burgess. In answer to his enquiries he was told by Arnold that he and Burgess were partners in th., concern, but that he, Arnold, having got an appointment under Government, he could no longer attend to his concern, and was therefore de sirous of disposing of it. Mr. Hall was shewn the machinery, &c. and also the books, from which it appeared the concern was a very profit ible one, and Mr. Hall being told he would have nothing to do if he became a shareholder but come at stated periods and receive the profits. Mr. Hall was at length prevailed on to give Mr. Arnold 2501. to cash, and a bill for :in!. for his share of the concern. About three weeks after Mr. Hall called to enquire about his profits, but was told at present there was 110114 as they had been engaged in clearing off some old stock. Upon this Mr. Hall :T -idied to Mr. Arnold btu explanation, and to have his money back. The plaintiff accordingly took a friend to look at theconcern, and discovered that there was soothe partner whom he had never heard of before, a Mr. Field, who said Mr. Arnold had no right to sell without his consent. George Gieve, a friend of the plaintiff, was called, who proved having called nn the (kleinlaut at the request of the plaintiff, and that the defendant acknowledged hafting received 3001. of the plaintiff for his share of the concern. _ . John Ready,another friend of the plaintiff, also proved that he had seen the defendant, and that the defendant acknowledged the concern, whilst he was its it, produced but a small profit, and his conviction that, after he had withdrawn his personal attention, it would be still worse. Witness had been on the premises, and did not consider the stock and machinery as worth more than Ml.—He advised Mr. Arnold to settle the affair with plaintiff, and seemed inclined to di so. Mr. Scarlett said he would now call a clerk frem the excise to chew that Arnold had no interest its the concerts. Mr. Bowlbey produced the books from the office, and by the entry of the premises inquestion it appeared that the annual licence for roasting coffee was on the 9th of December, 1814, granted to Field and Allen On the 15th of December, 1815, it was renewed to Field and Burgess, and so it had been continued down to the pre sent time. The Chief Justice said he was not aware that the act of parliament prohibited any person front becoming a partner unless his name was entered. Mr. Scarlett said he could carry the case no further. The Cnief Justice said, the opening had nut been made cm, and the plaintiff must be 1111 l 'malted. The plaintiff was accordingly called and nonsuited. DAVIS V. WHITE. The plaintiff, a milk vendor, in Wardonr-street, Soho, sought to recover compensation its damages, for an as sault committed by the delendant, who lived servant at the house of a gentleman in Swallow-street. The trans action upon the whole appeared to be more the effect of accident than design, and the jury gave one farthing damages. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, JUNE T. bUDD ♦. DUGGIN.

This was a prosecution at the illtliallCC of Mr. James Bronne, a representative in parliament fur the county of vo, for writing a threatening letter to the prosecutor. and provoking him to tight a duel. The defendant is a voting man of respectable connexions in the colony of Mayo. To prove these facts, Mr. James Browne and Mr. Do minic Browne were called. The handwriting of the defendant was proved, and the letter in question was put in and read. It appears that agricultural distress is much less felt in Lancashire than in must other parts of the kingdom, for it is a singular fact, that at the Earl of Derby's last general half-yearly rain-day, there was but one detaulter among his Lordship's nutuer ous tenantry. Considerable anxiety was evinced on Thursday fu • witness the arrival of the Government steam packets at Dublin. A number of the first characters, among whom were several ladies, were Oa the pier at Howth about one o'clock, at which hour the Meteor, commanded by Capt. Davis, and also the Ta /I steam vessel, were in view —both ploughed the ocean in grand style, the Meteor being first at the the pier by a quarter of an hour, and the mail was landed from her at ten minutes past two, 42 hours only having elapsed from its leaving London. Early on Saturday morning last some thieves broke into the house of Mr. Nicholson, 0:1 Epping Forest, by forcing the window sluttli2r, and stole the dining room window curtains and several other articles: they were about to take down the clock in the hall, but it is supposed were disturbed by the dogs kept in the yam. No discovery has yet been made of the deptedaturs. Mr. Const, the chairman, shortly Anninsed up the facts of the case, and the jury found a verdict—Guilty. The defendant was then sentenced to pay a tine of 501. to find sureties to keep the peace for two years, him self iu 50til. and two other' of 1001. each. The defendant paid the fine in court, and was allowed to depart. Catholic Emancipalion.—The report of the King having written a letter to the Duchess of Glouces. ter, expressing his satisfaction at the Catholic Bill Navin_ been thrown oat, is a complete ftbrieation. One of the Royal Family, who has lately spJli.t to the Duchess of Gloucester on the subject of this re port, has authorised his friends to contradict it as a malevolent fiction. So far from the Kin ! , having testified any unfavourable opinion of the Catholics, every thing that has come to light respecting his sentiments on this question, from the time it first came before Parliament this session, shows that his Majesty is well disposed towards it.
