VICE CHANCELLOR'S COURT, Auo. 10. EX-PARTS WILNERS IN RI WIGNIT. Mr. HART stated that this was a petition, the object of which was to hare certain costs paid out of the . bankrupt's estate to the petitioner, which he had been put to. The Commision bad been issued in 1810, and upon a petition to supersede it, an issue was di rected to try whether it war valid or not, when the question was determined against the Commission. The Counsel for the assignees took a preliminary objection as to the jurisdiction of the Court, after the Commission was superseded. The Tice CHANCJILLOR was inclined to doubt very much if he had jurisdiction. Mr. Haan said he did not anticipate such an objec tion, and he hoped the petition would be allowed to stand over, and he would take an opportunity of look lug over the authorities. The Vice Cuavett.t,on said, be should be very happy to have his assistance in this particular, and desired that the petition should stand over. IRR-PARTIt RADII, IN RR ',PERIL Mr. HART stated that this was the petition of Nabs, who represented himself to be a creditor of the Bankrupt, and it prayed that the certificate might be staid until ho was allowed to prove leis debt under the Commission. He stated, that when the Com mission Issued and assignees were appointed, an er roneous account of his transactions with the Bankrupt had been made oat, front which it appeared, that he. t►e petitioner, was indebted to the Bankrupt in the sum of 1,500!. Being perenatied that he% instead of being a debtor to any amount, was a creditor to up wards of 2,000!. refused to acknowledge the debt : he was pat into the Pint Prison, at the suit of the assig- Bele, where he remained for fire months. An action at law was subsequently tried at tiuildhsil, before Mr. Justice Dallas, when, by the consent of both parties, it was referred to Mr. Comen to ascertain which of the patties was creditor to the other. The arbitrator upon intestigation found that the petitioner instead of owing to the Bankrupt, was iu reality his creditor ; but as the reference did not authorise him to enquire into the amount of the sum which might appear from the accounts of the parties to br owing by the Bankrupt s be limited the terms of his award to the fart that the Bankrupt was the debtor. The Vice-Cnawciu.oa said, it was unfortunate that the reference did not include an inquiry into the aimat of the debt, for that the amount would deter-1 mine whether or not the certificate might be turned ! by the petitioner. His Hoteova made an order of reference. NORDEIUMBIRLAND ASSIZES. Nrwcerne, Ave. 7. Matatter, CUTTINO.—BIee4or Reisnqek, aged 48, was charged with having on the 15th of June wilfully, maßciously, and unlawfully eat Reginald Charlton with a poker, with intent to murder him. Mr. Lose opened the ease to the jury. It would be proved that the prisoner had threatened to (fa sortie strioas injury to Mr. Charlton before she had struck hits, as charged in the indictment. The cause ap peared to have been that Mr. Charlton had distrained urn her father for rent. Mr. Reginald Charlton lines at Moto-hill, parish of Wart ; the prisoner lives at Letterford ; her father had been tenant of witness's, and witness had occa sills t 1 distrain his goods on the 13th of May. The ptisonee lives, not with her father, but with Mr. Phalirring, to whom she was housekeeper, about a mile from witness's. On the 15th otJune last sh ows west to see Mr. Pickering; sit with him in the, kitchen, past 10 or IS minutes; observed the prisoner moving out and in 3or 4 antes. Witness proposed to ge, rose from his seat, and put on his hat. Mr. Pitkering proposed setting him on his way home, and west for his own hat to the kitchen window. At that umlaut witness was suddetly struck and knocked. doesits be felt a particularly sharp blow on the back part of his head; he became senseless; when he re covered his senses, be heard Mr. Pickering say, " Hood (Md, woman, you have killed the man!" she said, iti true Scottish dialect, " De'l ha'e them cases, for 1 have lout wished it ; but he's nae dead yet, for he's sprawl. ing." He with difficulty turned round his head, and saw her, he thought, lay down the poker. Mr. Picker• lag helped him to get up and to move towards the Jobe. The door was shut. Mr. Pickering called for the assistance of his men. Witness, by clinging to the wall, got to the end of the house. His head was boned up with a silk handeechief. The wound was Weeding most profusely; he was washing the blood nosy with his hands from both sides of his coat. He walked home, having declined going on horseback, or in a cart, for fear of Irritating tift wound on his head. When be got home, he felt particularly ill : he was hist from loss of blood. lie was confined to bed for upwards of a week. His hat was cut through. Mt.

He swore that he beard nothing. She never mention:4l any thing to hint bat that she had to pay money. When be had rebelled her after he had returned, she said she was su.ry for 14 but she could not help it ; she felt in a passips for what he bad dune to her.

AlTsmA made to remand the pr'soner, to give opprttlnity for the attendance of Mr. Harmer, on the part of the pro secutors, he begged permission to put in bail for the prisoner's appearance. Sir James Shaw observed, that in this transaction he lost sight of the prisoner as a servant, and consi dered him as a principal ; be gave the order, received the property, and made the false and fraudulent repre sentations. He looked upon the whole transaction as not so mach of a fraud, but as a direct felony; as, credit was given, or intended to be given No Illipmmii nor, in his opinion, had the property been e Under such circumstances be could not take : l ent cause, if he ultimately committed the prisoner, he should commit him for stealing the property. The prisoner was again remanded. At the close of the business of the day, jest at the moment of the Magistrate's leaving the Chair, Wad dington, the Radical standard bearer, who had been waiting his opportunity the whole of the morning, stepped forward to renew the complaint he made be fore the Lord Mayor on Wednesday, relative to the conduct of the City Officers, in seising his placard board, s a nd to refute, as he said, the foul assertion of Mr. Wontnor, the City Marshal, that he (Waddington) was a volunteer prisoner, whereas he was taken by force, only for carrying that the )e placard, at the same time exhibiting one to the Magistrate. Sir James Shaw was not desirous of hearing a long speech, and having learned from Waddington that the affair had been fully heard before the lord Mayer, cut the matter abort, by mildly assuring the com plainant that the Justice-room was not a Court of Ap peal from the Mansion house, and that therefore he could not intet•ere. " Then I must go bark to the Lord Mayor," re plied Waddington, and•left the office for that purpose. MARLIOnatIOII-11THIEr.—A publican from Wilt shire came to prefer a charge of robbery against a corporal in a marching rer;:aeal. under singular cir cumstances. The corporal was quartered at his house, and he obtained a furlong!. uu the Ist instant to come to London. His landlady having business a few miles on the soldier's road, they left together in the has band's cart, which nas returned without his frail rib. The wife had taken with her more than 201.; they were living together, and she refused to return house avin. There was no pretence far felony against the soldier, and the husband was informed that his only remedy was by action. WO tIcItIP-111111IT.—A most daring highway rob- 1 berg.—Deniel Loy and Julia Fox, two yonths, were brought up to this office charged with a highway rob bery, at half-past eleven o'clock in the day, in Spital.l ' square.

Yesterday, shout half-past eleven o'clock, be was on his way throng+ Spital-square to Lamb street, when the two priciners and a man came up So him, and a- he termed, shored him up against a Whs. dow; the pr4oner, Daniel bow, took his watch out of his pocket.

On being examined, he impugned a person named Brown, who was apprehended and his premises searched ; but there being nothing to criminate bins, be was libe rated. Brown attended to-day. Mr. Orchard, how ever, from motives of humanity to the prisoner, and believing this offence to be his first, consented to his being discharged. The Magistrate observed to the prisoner, that the lenity of the prosecutor ought to have its due effect. There was every reason to suppose that he had been the dupe of some designing person, and he advised him for the future to pursue the path of rectitude and avoid evil counsellors. The prisoner expressed his thankfulness for the cle mency shown him, and was then discharged.

By Mr. WILLI toss.—He called it a contused wound as contra-distinguished from an incision ; it had ragged edges ; it approached more a great deal to a bruise than a cut. By the COURT.—tie should hare said it was a cut by a blunt instrument. This was the ease for the prosecution. Mr. WlLLtssts submitted, whether there was a cue Ito go to the Jury. He remembered, when a very young counsel, to have been engaged in a case at York, in 1806, "the King and Atkinson," where a blow had been given by the claw-side of a hammer, which was reserved for the opinion of judges. A ease had occurred, too, in Chester before Mr. Chief-Justice Dallas and Mr. Justice Bnrton, in 1808, " the King against Ilurlston and lambert," where the wound had been gives by a windlass on a canal. Chief-Justice Dallas reported that Lord Ellenborongh and Mr. Jus tice Lawrence thought the case was not within the in: tentien of the act. In the mean time, in 1806, the opinion of the Jeages had been gives respecting an instrument used by highwaymen, between a crow and a chisel, but capable of great acuteness of edge. But the present ease seemed to he entirely similar to that at Chester, and was nut wi the meaning of the act. Mr. Justice PARK—The Welsh Judges have not the same means as other judges of taking the opinion of all the . indges. All the Judges in 1805 held a con viction right where a blunt instrument had been used. It is clearly within the reason of the law. The Jury retired for half an hour, and found a ver dict of—Guilty; but recommended her to mercy. Mr. Justice PARK—I am bound to ask the reason. Foreman—tin the grottnJ of her former goad cha racter.

SHAW. The prisoner,• who has previously undergone two examinations, was apprehended *boat a week ago, on the pr mises in Fleet market. nothouse, it seems, was literally besieged by great nunthen of tradesmen, from whom property had been obtained, all clamorous fur their goods or the money. Murphy, an officer, was called in to prevent the disturbance, and the pri soner being the only person to be seen, and having appeared in most of the trausactions himself, was given in charge, upon suspicion of being a principal in the various frauds that had been praetimed. The system pursued to obtain the property lu this instance was by no means new ; in general orders for foods, signed William Simpson," war written on the back of the card of the shop, and sent to different tradesmen ; the prisoner in some cases was the bearer, and directions were always given that a bill and re ceipt might a.:conipany the delivery of the property, a ready money payment being promised upon the de livery. Different excuses were itigeuiously contrived to induce the parties to leave the gdods without pay ment, and from that moment neither the goods, the money, or the customer, could be gut sight of; the only person to be seen was the prisoner, and the ge neral answer to all applications was, that his muter was not at home. In this wanner, besides the cues of several other tradesmen which were not goae int% a linen•draper, a hatter, two shoemakers. a sturegraie maker, a cork -cutter, and a stationer, had se r bsopere-the dupes of these nefarious peacticee v . en . i ft i t Ithough in all these cases the prrsdlent cad s .pt be carefully bad he contrived to act the' of servant to Simpson, that it was very Mika Implicate him as a principal. The usual caution had ast, however, keen adopted in the eased Mt. ret hink wholesale stationer, No. 196, Upper Thom Meek from whom a quantity of paper had been pse eared ; in this instance the order for the goods was brought by the prisoner, who himself gave the as sistance that they would be paid for, ready ameney oa delivery. He received the goods when bissught to 'the eltep, in Fleet-market, and induced the carman to leave them, his master being out, ky aseatitsg him that the money was quite safe, and would be sent when his moister returned; that it would have been left with him, but that it was not expected that the paper would have been delivered that day, as it was so very wet a day, and when at length lu the evening Mr. Perkins sent his servants with the cart to insist 'on baring the paper back or the money, the prisoner was the only person to be found, and he declared that the property had been taken away and was no longer upon the premises. urns tu. .c=vvvali imez Mr. Chester. who attended as SoHeitor for the pri- ntanntn* they had been i t sonar, urged that this transaction wag a bargain aid Wednesday evening, b sale, and that credit was given to Simpson t - jut at an broke t•ztt in the p ran k' events, the prisoner had acted under the .
