EZ•PARTE cueLSAA liosrITAA IN its saotiiiis AND LEITH. ......... Mr. MONTA.VS boped that the Lord Chancellor woulti e give final judgment on this petition, which hail been signed by Ste C. Long, as Treasurer Gf the HoSpi. tal, and prayed that he or his ileinity might be allowed to prove a considerable sum of Java prize money drawn from the Hospital by the bankrupts. His reason fur urg ing the Court was on account of the bankrupts being detained in prison while their certifirste was stayed. The WM theisettwitt was of opinion that the Hos pital rattail' 'Howell's prove the debt, snit the bank rupee mast be assitumbjected to summation before the agent of rho tuvrna upon that poilit. It was his Lorilsifp'i ophiott (isspressed in consequence of the sainteititsn of Counsel) that the petitioner himself must prove thl debt. Mr. illosmove inquired if the Court would not at the sarre time order the discharge of the bank, opts who were detained in custody. Tito LOtrotwenett.t.oa said that their best course 1 o p wont! be to ply themselves instantly to the esiminawi 'ion now o errd, after which they would be at liberty to r ow their application to the Court for the oartificate.

COMM • This was an action for gm) (Woes words inn:waist theft to the plaintiff. ,The wordi in" tinestlan were Used at the suction-rooms of Mr. Phillips of Bond-street, is May last. On that occasion, a dispute irose between the parties, who are dealers in old, plate, when the de fentiont said to the plaintiff, "Iron are 4 Common thief. I will put down five pounds to your hie pounds, to be forfeited, if I do not prove yen a common thief; and if I do, your five pounds will be forfeited, for }on Moho& Mr. Japp; and I will prove it," with other opprobriose words. The defendant, in justification of part of the words, pleaded, that the plaintiff did steal a *- titre from Mr. Japp, and the general lime to the re. sidue. On the cross-examination of the plaiiitiff's witnesses, It appeared that much altercation toe& piaci at the time, and that the parties actually paid U. earth by way of wager, on the question of the guilt er innocence of the, plaintiff, and that tittle sums were still in the bands of the stakahoidffei. The Loan Cnzai Tarries interposed,. awl said, be thought the plaintiff could not recover more the Is. damages. if the parties did not consent to - pnt a stop to the case, he should feel it his duty to do so, and not to permit the Court to be occu2ied by the trial of such a wager. The more regular course would be, to enter a verdict for the plaintiff with one shilling damages on the general issue and to discharge the jury frees giving any verdict on thejustification. This was assented to, aid the verdict of Is. taken on the general issue. By this arrangement each party bears his own costs, THS?MAS WEAVER, Comereial Agent and rn 1p Sroker, 116.

When the matter was before his Honour the Vice-Chancellor, he directed an issue to try whether they were accommodation hills or not, anti alienist all books and vipers to be produced at the trial—heit that was appealed from, on the ground that the ptaintiff ought to have liberty to examine the books before the trial came on ; and the argument to-day was, that, for the purpose of saving expellees, an exami nation of the books, should take ulace before the Master, and Int he should he allowetl to say whether they were Or were not accommodation bills, without the case going to • Joey. The assignees, under the commission objected to this mode of proceeding as from every view of the case they could take it would be sure to very considerably add to the expense that %%Quid attend the deciding of this ques tion. His Imantnir thought that in any way of proceeding that could be adopted in this matter much expense would be int:tiered. He, however, on the whole as a preliminary step, ordered that the case should stand over for a month; and that the liefeirdeats should deliver to the plaintiff all books and Writings; in the meantime to know whether hey could or' not make oat from them a case that hey were modation bills. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JAN. Ica CHAMBERS V. ROOPCR. This woo action upon a guarantee given by the de fendant to thAplolltiff for the payment of a promissory note for 106 01. by a Mr. Liitper, defendant's wan in-law. payable six months after :late, the ronsideration of which was money Advaneed by the banktwg tone of the plaintiff to the debtor. The plaintiffs case was conducted by Mr. SCARLETT and Mr. COMTH ; and the defendant's by Mr. MARRI•TT Mr. F. Pohkacc, and Mr. Braun. The defendant was described by the name of Doctor Hooper, soil was stated to be father•in•law to Mr. Harper, a cow keeps r. A sum of l' 4 loo/. had been advanced to Mr. Harper upon his promissory note, payable six months after date, and the defendant, by a letter given in evidence, guaranteed the payment of the note, if nut taken up when at maturity. The note was dishonoured when due, but no notice of the dishonour was given to the defendant. The defence set up was threefold; first, that the de fendant had notice of the dishonour of the note; • second, that after its dishonour Mt. Harper kept cash at the plaintiff's banking house, and at one time had money of his to the amount of 1.2001. in their hands , out o f which they might have paid themselves ; and 1 third, that after the dishonour of the note the e laintiti commenced an action against Mr. Harper upon it, and took a warrant of attorney from him for securing the payment of the debt, without the privity of the defend ant. Upon alt, or any of these grounds, it was submitted 1 that the defendant was discharged of his liability. The facts bearing out the statement. The CHIRP JUSTICIC expressed an opinion that if the jury were satisfied of the facts, the defendant would be discharged in point of law. la consequence of this opi nion, The plaintiffs elected to be nonsuited, sod they were nonsuited accordingly. OMEN V MARSHALL. This action was brought to recover a balance alleged to be due to the plaintiff for lamps and devices furnished for an illumination on the coronation of liis Majesty. The plaintiff pleaded a tender of St. I Is. 6d. parcel of the demand, and denied his liability to pay the residue. It appeared that the defendant, who is an attorney residing at Kettering, and the Under Sheriff of the county of Northampton, being desirous of making a splendid demonstration of loyalty on the night of the coronation, called at the shop of Mr. Owen, at the cor ner of Russell Street, Covent Garden, looked at a crown and letters, and afterwards gave orders for the words and letters" George IV." to be sent to him pith a large crown, and thirty dozen of lamps, ready for lighting with oil. The lamps were accordingly sent, but they were never returned, and Mr. Owen accordingly charged for them first as if let to hire for the occasion, and then for the value as if sold ; making in the whole a charge of eighteen shillings per dozen, besides the oil and devices. Redid nut show that the original contract was for hire, and not fur purchase : unless this inference might be drawn from a list which he amt with the ar tides. Witn were called on his behalf, to prove that the somle in which lie charged was according to the usage of the trade. The defendant bad advanced ten pounds, and tendered 81. 11%. &I, which be had paid tuns Court ; but the plaintiffs demand, according to his rare of charge, amounted to about eight pounds beyond this sum. For the Moo/int, Jameeßarlow was called, who fixed do price of lamps prepared fur illumination, at Its. per desert ; tied Ault. Randall, of the tirue of:Alatthewe sod itsaftalk agents for the defendant, proved that the plaintiff bad expressed liis willingness to take 181. I Is. fiii. in addition to what he had already received, in sa tisfaction of his claim. Mr. SCARLITT, in his reply, observed, that the de fendant, like others of the present day, was willing to let his loyalty shine forth at the expense of others: but when the day of reckoning came, like them lie was un willing to pay the costs of his enthusiasm. The Loan CHM' JUVTICIS left the my to say whe tiler 15:.11s. ti d, was or was not a su cleat compensa• WESTMINSTER S ESSION Soon after the Sitting of the Court, Mr. Charles Tebbut, who had on the preceding day been found guilty of it- Inc George Kent on the 11th of October last, at the Hay market Theatre, was brought up to receive his sentence. The Citsinteas observed, that as an action had been brought against the defendant by Mr. Kent, for the very as sault of which he had been convicted. and as considerable expense might then be incurred by him, the Court felt in clined to pass a more lenient sentence than it otherwise should do. The sentence therefore was, that the defindant be fined 101. and discharged. William Golding, a publican, was found guilty of assault ing a poor labouring man named John Driscal, and fined All. with liberty to speak to the prosecutor. Driscal afterwards received ten pounds of this fine; the remainder goes to the King. _ _ . iV Aftride was found guilty of a similar offence. -- Essington was Indicted for assaultiest a person named Hayward. This case arose out of an affray which took place one night in the Horseferry-road ; and next morning the prosecutor charged Essington, at Queen-square Police-office, with robbing him. But Mr. Rainsford. the Magistrate, dismissed the charge of robbery, and held the defendant to bail for the assault, for which he was now, tried. Mr. WALtORD conducted the prosecution, On behalf of thedefeudant, Mr. ADOLPHUS called Mr. Miller. the Clerk at Queen-square, who read the de positions made at the time the defendant was examined titgajaijuoalimssep eho y now were ealled for the prose cution. In order to show that there wasii - naterial variance between the statemeats they made thee and at the present time. The Jury - , after some deliberation, acquitted the defend ant. Tile RING ON THE PROSRCUTION OP JOHNSON 5 4 . NORRIS. A short time since, the defendant, Mr. T. Norris, licensed victualler, of White liart-yard, Drury-lane, appeared. *modest others, at the Police-Offloe. Bow-street, to answer an information under the late Act of Parliament, preferred by Johnson en:l Pringle, Informers, against him, for keeping his house open beyond the time prescribed by law on the Ist of December last. The charge was denied by the defend ant, who, it appeared, was afflicted with en attack of the gout at the time, but being positively sworn to have had his house open until after one o'clock, he was fined in the penalty of 51. and casts. lie, however, gave notice of art appeal to t 5. Sessions. and entered into recognizances to thlt effect. Tile appeal was this day called on. hir.WALPORD appeared for the respondent, and Mr.A.not.- gnus for the appellant. Mr. Wat-roao, prior to the case being opened by Mr. Adolphus, said tie was instructed to oppose the going into it on the ground of an informality in the reeognigance,which had not been drawn up according to the Act of Parliament, which directed that security should be given for the pay ment of all costs, penalty, and expences. Here the recogni zance did not contain any expression as to costs, penalty. and expenses, end the party not having complied with the Act of Parliament. the Court was not empowered to decide on the merits of the ease. . _ . . . Mr. Avoi.puus—Good God! I never heard such an ob jection in my life before. The Justices take a cognizance for the appearance of my client; and you, now that the cause is called ou for hearing, turn round on ue and say that the Magistrates have done that which they ought not to have done, and that we are to suffer by it. After some further argument and a conference on the Bench, the Chairman said, the Court were of opinion that the objection was a valid one, and consequently the appeal could not be heard. Mr. WALPORD—Then the appeal must be dismissed, and the distress will issue. . Mr. ADOLPRVS —Then if the Magistrates venture to isms the distress. I will immediately apply for a Maw/anaus to the Court of King's Bench. The Order, os above stated, was then made absolute. The Graud Jury broke up at three o'clock. CORONER'S 'NW:EST.—Yesterday, an inquisition was taken before C. Jrtumett, Esq. Coroner for Surrey, at the Red Lion, IValwortb Road, on the body of Laurence Kirkpatrick, aged 36. Captain Dowsock, residing in South Place, Kenning. ton, deposed, that the deceased was his groom, and had been in his service for the last three years. J hal been private in the 12th Light Dragoons. and was to the time of his death on garrison duty. The deceased was very motet addicted to drinking, and his constant inebriation produced an aberration in his intellects.
