Clark now ap. tiled to the Court by Petition, praying that Mr. Wake, a Solicitor, should be , ordered to pay the costs of the Commission, on the grounds that he had, by false representations. induced the Petitioner to out. It appeared from the affidavits of Clark, th;t Mr. Wake had represented Edwards to be on she verge of bankruptcy, and esprensed his surprise Oat the deponent should trust him. On the dep.- • newt's saying that he was not aware of any act of Ithrikruprcy of which Edwards bad been guilty.

BELL AND OTHERS. 'MS was an indictment for a nuisance in causing bstructidne to the navigation of the river Tweeti.- VPltlitt for the Defentlantson two counts, and for the Crown on two others. Mr. SCABLETT moved fora rule to show cease why the verdict for the Defendants should not beset aside, and 4 verdict entered foe the Crown, on the ground of a misdirection of she Learned Judge who tried the cause. Certso fishermen had erected four heaps of stones in the Tweed, called bats, to enable them to stand in the river at druid tides, for the purpose of fishing. It was clearly proved, that those bats were a nuisance and an obetruetirin to the navigation and the course of the river. Vessels had been lost on them. *Floods that came down in the.winter carried off the upper stones, whlch were generally replaced *eery spring: but there were two of these hats. the very foundation of which had been laid within the - 'memory of man. For these two a verdict had been obtained : but with respect tp the other two, the o r i,;n r f which could not be traced, the Learned Judgo . r. barged the Jury that ea they had *misted from ,time irernumorial, the Ilefeadants mast be acquitted es to them. Now this direction be Considered to be wrong in point of law. The Learned Judgeeeemed to think that !Isere existed some enetrrgy between a highway or land, ands navigable ricer. 'rhis, how. ever, would lead to very erroneous conclusions : high* av by tend might originate iy the grant of as individual, aid there might be reservations or condi. firm, nit.icloirl to the grant ; hot this never could be the rase with a navigable river, vrli.kh is, from ell time, the King's highway. The therefore. could] not originate in a greet; and It was impossible to prescribe fi.r a nuisance. • • A Chiet J.oitice ABBOT %emoted, that the rule es iskorl for at Pit'Sttit Wight technical in• couvrotenee, bra the Cued it, with per. to Mr. Scsrlett to draw' it ep or trot as he ought lit. 1 :~ ~: . ti 4 i I This was in action to sect) , moot. A verdict was which Mr. Serjeant But.i.oce sought to set aside, and to obtain a new trial, on the alleged perjery . of the De. (pedant's witness, Smallpage. lie had sworn posi ti•ely that the Plaintiff's witness. Ibbotson, had sp. pearpal at a former trial t and had received the sni rastiversinos of the Bar end Court for gross perjury. When asked Wore what Judge the former cause was tried, he said he did not know his name, bat it was a Gentleman who repeatedly said, " Stay, stay."— This apparent simplicity of the witness deceived the Jury, and they credited him rather than the other.— The Learned Serjrant now read affidavits which showed that the other witness had never appeared in the cause alluded to, and that the whole story was, as he insisted at the time, a gross fabrication. Rule to show cause granted. this CAMERON V. Till ASSIGNEES OE LAINE. This was an action of trover, tried at the Sittings after last Term, at Guildhall, London, when there was a verdict for the Defendant. Mr. MANTAT now moved for a rule to show cause why the verdict should not be set aside, and a new t►ial granted. The action was brought by the Plaln• tiff. to recover back a quantity of goods from tie Defendants, who were the assignees of Lainey ale had been declared a bankrupt, upon the ground that the Commission had not been legally issued, Immo much ae the debt due to the petitioning creditor did not amount to. 1001. His claim was founded on a bill of exchange for 951. and a fraction, and this bill was ever due for above a year, at the time the Com. mission issued. It was admitted that if interest was payable on this bill of exchange., it would hose swelled the amount beyond 1001.; but the objection was, that the bill did not express _any condition of growing interest, or that the petitioning creditor had no right to prove any debt under this bill s bel•ond the aum which it ostensibly expressed. There was also another objection stated, arising from the circumstance, that in taking the depositions to ground theism's of the Commission of Bankruptcy, the name of James Leine was inserted, although George Leine was the person against whom the pro ; ceedings were directed ; the question, therefore, on this point was, whether the mistake of the clerk in taking down the name would not invalidate the Statute. The Court were pleased to grant the rate with re spect to the first point, but thought the latter not a valid objection. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. Nor. 9. THORNTON AND OTHERS V. SKERRETT. ~ . Mr. Serjeant Boy applied for a rule in Ai. elistvto •show muse why the verdict obtained by the Defend ant in• Guildhall, contrary to the recommendation of the Lord Chief Justice, should not be set aside. The -notices had been brought by the Plaintiff's to recover perstirat of a promissory note to the mount of lOW. Tiie‘4lllllmit had bore . t peldicse 4 the 6, . 7 were buffeters. The Defendanehappealsog to h insolvent, the Plaintiffs agreed to tekea composition of 12s. in the pound, upon condition that the De s ii fentlatit should take all his beer front them. He did so for some time; and then sold the lease, and mat' ed off, not insolvent - , but tarrying with him 5201.-- The defence-see op was, that the beer was not good. But two dirks of the nointiffs proved, that it wits the same beer which was taken b y-free publicans.— The quantity of beer, _too, sold in two tnentbs, in i 181.7, was double the quantity sold in the correspond-1 ing two months in 1810. On the other hand, este' witness said that the beer was not bright; but these cobid he no standard of brightness in beer. Wititsr. ;mid it wet slide • 9 but that was only. matter of taste.

It'. li•cl summed op the evidence favourably to the Plaintiffs, although be disapproved of brewers hold ing pubficans bound to them in this manner. A Juror 'appeared to pay particular attention to the evidence, tnti to understand the case thoroughly, but way he 'should therefore labour under prejudices his Lord- Ship could not understand. Ile saw no reason for calling iii question the propriety of the verdict. Mr. Justice PARK considered theconduct of breitvera oppressive to publicans, and injurious to the Public. The beer, too, seemed evidentlf to have been bad. Mr. Justice Busteouan thodgkiiits beer that was Mat bright could be irseithervel 0004 8 br Ile therefore concurred.—ltule ref* . . . LOPEZ V. DE TASTETT. In this case, in which a verdict on an undefended cause was found et the last Sittings at Guildhall for 37,0001. a motion for a new trial was granted upon payment of costs, and upon Defendant giving secu rity, satisfactory to the Plaintiff, for the %mount of the verdict. ,~ EXECUTION AT GLASGOFV. Of the (nor persons sentenced to death at the Glasgow Circuit, Matthere elsdesdak, for murder ; Simon Ross and James Roy!, for house-breaking and theft ; and Marearel.Kennerly, for possingfoorged orates, two, Clydesdale and Ross, were, on Wed aesday, hauged in front of the jail—the Royal cle mency having been , extended to Boyd and Kennedy, who are ',spited during the pleasure of the Prince Regent. Clydesdale, it will be recollected, was found guilty of the murder of an old man, Ales. Live, senior, ttrarAirdrie. Exactly at two o'clock, the Magistrates, with rods of office, entered the Hall. The Prisoners, with their arms pinioned, were immediately brought to the table. The Rev. Dr. Lockhart and the Rev. Mr. Mackenzie assisted them in their devotions, and Ross's father was pre. Mt. The Rev. Dotter informed' the *Magistrates that the Prisoners confessed their guilt. They joined in prayer, kneeling. Ott the devotions in the Hall being concluded, the l'risoners received privately eu exhortation from the Clergymen. At a gutter before three o'clock, the all, which had been extremely crowded, was char ; and the unhappy men proceeded to the scaffold. All things were soon adjusted, and by gee minutes put three the drop fell. The crowd was extremely great, and the ground was guarded by a strong detachment Qf the 40th Foot, covered by cavalry. The bodiet, after hanging nearly an hour, wets cut down.— Clydesdale's was put into a coffin, and by means of a cart was fortlswith conveyed, for the purpose of dis section, to the Professor of Anatomy. The cart was t followed by a large portion of the crowd. In the dissecting-room Dr. Jeffrey was waiting. A nom ber of experiments in galvanism were forthwith made. The convulsions excited were so strong, that the limbs were thrown aboutioevery direction. The scene bad such en effect that a person. present (biased. Incisions were made in winos, parts of the .body fur the purpose of applying the galvanic power.
