LA IV INT ELLIG Cli. frame T COMITITITION.) ( Mitt OF KINWS BENCH, GUILDHALL, J►x. S. DIXON r. emit' •ND la tI.TIN, The trial of this cruse, which has eat itcd a great deal 14 interest, rani, WI this morning, tefore the Lotto I nit? .11 ATICE and a Special Jury. AIL !it.nriEr, for the plointiff, stated, that this was an in !ion brunght for the recovery of 1,7110/., being the ateiinut of the value of three hills of exchange, drawn open soil accepted hr the defendants. 'l'he bills had been received by the plaintiff from a person of the name so' Castro', oho had parted with them in payment for a qinlotite of goods which he had purchased from the p'aintiff, 31r. Dixon. In support of his case, Mr. line t:ty called several witnesses, snit, amongst others, Mr. tt Ash, the foreman, end Mr. Long, the nephew of the phintiff, who proved the sale and delivery of the goods. 'I he defence set up was, Ist, that the hills had been fa bricated and negociated on an usurious contract, anti, v could not be recovered ; and. 'ldly, that Dir. Dixon had not acted with doe rare all prudence ' it.asninch as, at the time of receiving the !dila, hr not ortie hash neglected to make inquiries respecting the pa:ties to them, but hail also reason to believ e that the - eptance had hers. given by lialpin, without the know ledge and consent of his partner, Mr. Colea. Iti support of this defence, Mr. Serjrant Cneasty ad • dressed the Jury. Ile observed, that upon the issue of this trial depen ded not only the value of the hills upon which the action was brought, but also the value of other bills, amounting to no less than 50,nlittt., which client would be obliged to pay if the bills in question were held to he good. The Learned Counsel then pee r *deft to detail the following cireuinatance.:—He stated, that Mr. Cole was a merchant of considerable property amassed in trade, and who had some years ago raised a man of the name of tialpin from a siiordi nate situation to he a partner in his liou , e. Bitterly, 1 owever, had be reason to regret this kiinliteas, for it was not long before Mr. Ualptn conceived a project — the most base and dishonourable. Ile less a scheme than to procure bills to be drawn upon the finis, which hr intendeil to accept in the name of himself and partner, and then, after getting them diet counted, to withdraw front England. By sonic mesas or other he had acquired sufficient ititinener over a sow cifMr. Coles to induce-him to concur in this conspiracy against his father. Accoolingly, in answer to a notice which appeared ins daily paper, proposing to discount tills in a confidential manner, Mr. Cole (under the as sonieil name of 31r. Throphilus ('lose) requeated an ins teryiew with the advertiser. A meeting hetween these took place, in consequence, at the Perry Hotel. and the advertiser proved to be Mr. Kinnear, a person since con victed of fraud and conspiracy. When they first met Mr. (.tole intended only to draw bills to the amount of 6,01 1 0/.; hut, at the sugcestion of Mr. Kinnear, the sans was subsequently enlarged to 75,000/. After several meetings had taken place, hills to the anemia of one hundred thousand pounds were actually drawn by a Mr. Taylor at the house of lialpin, and aes cepted by the fatter in, the name of the firm. Fur part of these bills, ing in value to 416.1100/., Kits near was to fiirnieb I. is cash, and g o tit s to the amount of 20,0091 more ; the remainder of the %AK 1 being a tunes fives to Kinnear for his share of the bush. netts. These bills were drawn in sets, for liiimear, who was well acquainted with this kind of business, urged, that if. the whole of the bills were to come lion the • market at once, it might excite inquiry ; but that if they . wiredrawn in sets, each with the same date and for tbe same sus% it would appear as if but one bill had Woo issued. The three bills upon whirls this action was brought werepart of the bills thus issued, awl the Learned Serjeant contended, that if he proved the facts as he had above stated-them, the Jury must pronounce this to lie as usurious transaction, and consequently return a verdict for his clients. To support this defence, he intimated his intention ofealling Mr. Kinnear, 31r. Jackson, who drat/' the bills, and Mr. ('ole himself, who, upon the discovery of this affair, had gone to America, with the goods far. nished bins by Kinnear, said to be worth MIMI. The sat? of these goods, however, scarcely produced enough to pay their freight, and he, being reduced to extreme distress, had consequently returned to England. This, however, the Learned Counsel observed, was not his That point of defence ; for even admitting for a moment 1 That the evidence of Boil transaction was disproved, still he had another ground of reliance, not less certain that the first. If Mr. Dixon hail exercised the smallest dr . ere of prudence and caution, he must have discovered that the bills in question had been accepted without the knowledge or concurrence of the senior partner, Mr. Cote. To explain this. it would be nec essary to show . the manner in which the hills got into circulation. Kin near had been for some time connected with a man 3f the name of Levy, who also shared in his resent conviction. 'to this man part of the bills were given, and as, before they could get into the market, it was nec essar y to pro cure a holder, lie pitched upon one Plsilia Joseph, an old clothes-man, who was then in a state of extreme poverty, and dwelling in a garret, for which he unglit (but was unable) to pay 3s. a week. The old clothes vender was immediately decorated with the sirname of LI. Brune. and represented as a Dutch merchant, who was to sail fur Amsterdam in the first ship. It was now necessary to furnish him with goods, and accordingly a person of the name of Easton called upon Mr. atixon to purchase them. Mr. Easton was so broker, had no counting-house, and was known to no one; yet had Mr. Dixon contented himself with the most cursory in quiry, and received in exchange for the goods the bills, the valne of which be now sought to recover. But the Learned Counsel would go further. Ile would prove that Mr. Dixon hail been actually warned at the time when he did make inquiry, that this acceptanee could tot be upon a partnership concern. Under these air. . cumstancts ' then, would any one contend that the di. fenrhint onglit to be considered liable ? The first witness called was Charles Barker Coles, the son of the defendant. —His evidence did not enlarge upos-or vary from the outline afforded in his Counsel's speech. it appeared, however, that he hail, in the course of this transaction, in ad dition to the names of Coles and Close also assumed the name of Jones; and that the idea of d rawing hills upon the firm first originated with himself, and not, as his Counsel incorrectly stated, with Mr. lialpin. It also appeared that many of the bills thins drawn hail been negotiated to a Mr. Dunne, and by him delivered up to Mr. Addington, the defendant's seliritor.—Nothing material was elicited on his crops-exansination. James Taylor examined—Recollected receiving a note from Gilpin, in consequence of which he dined with him at his house in Fleet-street. In the evening be drew bills to the amount of t 3,110111., which were accepted by (Lapin. Had no claim whatever upon the house. Afterwards saw Halpin, when he was told that the bills already drawn were destroyed. In conseimence, he threw (reek bills to the amount (459,11001. The same evening accompanied Halpin to call upon a Mr. Thomp son. 'I his Mr. Thompson was in reality Mr. Coles, jun. Believed the three bills shewn him to be parcel of the hills be drew. In cross-examination, he stated himself to be an at. tomer. William Poutt was employed by Coles and lialpin in recollected a gentleman tailing OM said Isis name was Mr. Dixon, and that he wished to know if the INIMINN■ 'THE -STA TESS% AN . acceptance he had brost,ht with him was Mr. Halpin's. Witness answered that it was ; Let he woe sure that it was not Dixon iven on the partnership account. (Mr. D was here pointed out to witness, who said that he could not recognize him.) Key, or Keer, recollected Mr. Dixon calling to ask him respecting the solvency of Messrs. Coles and Halpin. He answered that he considered it a good house, and would willingly . trust them himself. Me. Dixon told him that he was in treaty with a broker who was malting an investment for Coles and Halpin, sad that be wanted some articles in his (Dixon's) line of bu siness, and had offered in payment an acceptance af Halpin's. IVitness told Mr. D. that he had seen moo acceptances of the firm, which he refused to diseoast. believing that they were not a partnership transaction. Did not recollect mentioning to Mr. Dixon where Mr. Coles lived. Mr. Langwortby was called to prove that the goods were sent to Mr. hinnear's warehouse with Mr. Dixon's knowledge; and also pointed out other circumstances, which ough t to have excited the suspicion of Mr. Dixon. Edward LanKworthy, the son of last witness, corrobo rated his father a testimony. Jacob Jonas deposed, that about the time of the deli ' very of the goods at Kinnear's, he was standing at the warehouse door, when Mr. Dixon came up, and inquired whose counting-house that was. Witness told hint, and Mr. D. subsequently went in. In cross-examination, he stated that he was a Jew. Ile had done business for Kinnear, for Levy, and Mostly Wolf. He now was called Jonts, but had once passed under the name of Jonas. William Beadle, a carman, proved that lie first took the goods to Kinnear's warehouse, and then to the Ins tom-house quay. Mr. Serjeant COPLRY here observed, that he had had it in contemplation to call Kinnear as a witness; but as some doubt might arise as to his competence, in con seqnente of his recent conviction, lie had abandoned the intention. This war the whole of the defence; and Mr. fit n SY, for the plaintiff, made an eloquent and energetic reply. Ile alluded •to the had characters of the is itni..s..s whom the defendant's cLse was suet carted, and dwelt upon the evidence of Mr. Charles Cole in terms of se vere and merited censure. He put it to the Jury to say. whether they could believe the testimony of a wan who had been th; historian of his own infamy, and proved most satisfactorily that lie was destitute of every moral or religious feeling. [Mr. Charles Cole, unable or unwilling to hear the description which the Learned Counsel was applying to him, now left the Cyan, apparently munch embarrassed.' Mr. 4;IIINZT proceeded to notice the conduct of the opposite Counsel, in abandoning their original inten tion ut examining 1 s smear.—Most assuredly he (Mr. Gurney) would not have obj ected, but the fact was, the other side were afraid, lest the evidence of the c0.,- «fried might tint tally with the evidence of the meson vista conspirator, and that, amidst the falsehood contradictions of both, the Jury might not discover a word of truth. Alter sonic fur merits, Mr. Gurney concluded, by expressin g tion, that their verdict mast he fur the pla int The Cuter JUSTICE summed up the cane care and accuracy, and charged the Jury, II thought that the bills had been mandacti usurious contract ; or that Mr. Dixon had sufficient prudence in his enquiries respectit veiny of Cole and Ualpin, their verdict mast defendants. The Jury deliberated a few mlloutts, and for the defendants. WESTMINSTER SESSIONS, .I.or. TPIR METROPOLIS PATIN° ACT. The attention of this Court was occupied . nearly the whole day in hearing an appeal from a decision of Hinans F.s ORA sr, Esq. the Magistrate of Nlarlimeough. street, under the Metropolis Act, against the landlord of the " Two Brewers," a very respectable publir-house, at the corner of Church-passage, Jermyn-street, St. James's. It appeared that the haulm fronts both Jermyn-street and in the passage, and at earh front there was a propos. lion of the window of souse feet. Under the Statute named, the Surveyor of St. James's parish proeeedel by information to compel the landlor d to remove Owl roections, and Mr. Farrant, before whom the cam was laid, pronounced a conviction. The defendant, kw. ever, contriving himself aggrieved, determined ell appeal to the Sessions. Mr. ANDREWS and Mr. ADOLPIICA were for the dm fendant, and Mr. ALLer appeared fur the Commis sioners. Mr. Axostews addressed the Court at considerable length in half of his client. It appeared from his statement, that the house in question is held under a lease from the Crown, and that the projections complain ed of have existed for a great number of years. The Learned Counsel, in the course of his address, attributed the proceeding partly to Colonel Jolitfe, who resides im mediately adjacent to the " Two Brewers," and who felt annoyed at the projections, because they in some de gree interrupted the view from his house, and partly to a jealousy, which, in the present state of popular feeling. was too apt to exist, of what is called the prerogative of the Crown. Several witnesses were called to prove the length of time that the projections had been known to be standing, and among others were two persons upwards of seventy years of age, who bad known the house from their childhood. One witness, named Priest, on his or oss-ez ansination, admitted that lie occupied part of wee of the projections, and there carried on his trade as a tailor. He certainly did not think the bow windows any nui sance or obstruction to the public. Another, named Bousstead, the beadle of the At was of a similar opinion. Mr. A LLET.-" 1 daresay you have often smoked your pipe very comfortably enough in one of these windows, Mr. Beadle Buinstead.—" You are a false prophet for once ; for did in my life." It was also proved by the evidence of other persons, and the production of the lease from the Crown, under which the house is held, anal which was granted in 1713, that the grooad extended no further than the level line of the passage and street, and that the bow windows were erected since by the lessee. Mr. At.t.sv addressed the Court on the part of the ICommissioners, and said, the right of the Crown was not at all involved, the encroachment having been made ' subsequent to the granting of the lease, and the whole lexteat of groomd minted in the lease being still remits ing. He would say that the prerogative of the Crown was and ought misr viewed as odious, if Crown p ropert y was to he sheltered from the operations of the laws, while that of the subject was to he swept away,ad the owner exposed to penalties. But this was Borne ease here, the whole extent of huilding granted by the Crown lease, still remained, and the interests of the Crown conld sot therefore he benefitted or injured hy the de cision. As to the authority of the projections, there was no part of the Statute which said that enisances should remain unmolested, because they were ancient. On the contrary, the Act was passed for the purpose of removing all obstroctions, however long they might hive existed. The windows in question were so °twit obstructions to the foot-path, that the landlord might have been indicted for a nuisance at Cotninon Lair, in stead of being proceer'ed against under this Statute. The CRAIMAIA,t, after consulting with the rest of the Bench, said, the Court were of opinion that the convic tion should be continued. Had the rights of the Crown been at all involved, the Court would have felt hosed to take time to consider the question; but as it was simply whether this was or was not an obstruction, within the 'weaning of the Act of Parliament. they felt themselves competent to decide at once.—The conviction was ac cordingly confirmed. PICKPOCKETS. When the trials hail dosed, a great number of reputed thieves were brought before the Court, fur further con viction and punishment. Amongst the number were several very smartly dressed young men, who had been apprehended in the avenues of the two national theatres,charged with being there with intent to co 11111 l it felony. It will be recollected, that some time ago we stated, that not a night passed without numerous depredations being committed at the entrance and departure of the audiences at Drury-lane and Covent-garden ; in conse ence of which additional constables were steioned at the entrances, with strict orders to aprreliend all well known characters who should be found in or abdot them. The good effects of this arrangemeut were soon visible. Several of the most dexterous of the light-fingered tribe were taken into custody, and committed to the Sessions to be farther dealt with. Alost of them were well dressed, and belonged to the superior order of thieves, end it Is now no longer dangerous fur persons who choose to enjoy dramatic enteriaiiiments, to go to the Theatres with money or other propel ty about them. Those who were clearly recognized as reputed thieves were now adjudged so by the {tench, and sentenced to six months' imprisonment, anti two or three, less no torious, were discharged, with a proper admonition not to be seen about any public place again.—The Sessions then ended.

Bow-svnicae.—On Saturday the son of a most respect. able solicitor in Surrey. was brought up, charged with assaulting a Jew salesman named Josephs, under the following rather singular circumstances. It appeared that Josephs' house, according to the Jewish custom, was closely shut up on Saturday, and Mr. C., who happened to be looking for a house to let, soak the liberty of knocking at the door to inquire the teems, conceiving that the house was empty. Ile Led no sootier done so, than the occupier rushed out, and without much ceremony called him a 'aspic' charac ter, and taxed him with an iutention to rob the house. The defendant, astonished at such a charge, demanded an explanation i • and Josephssaiil that a robber had been committed in t he house, and he supposed he (Mr. C.) was the thief come to renew his plunder. he latter explained his ohject for knocking at the door, and readily gave his address, hut the other would not he sa tisfied, and having repeated the term lie had used before, Mr. C. was at length provoked to strike him. In a mo ment he was surrounded by several of the tribe, and • friend of his, who was waiting at a little distance, com ing to his aid, a sort of "battle royal" ensued. TUe !e -rudite., however, were filially victorious, and the de fendant was " lugged" up to this office to answer for his crimes. Mr. Josephs, after stating his complaint, observed, that the conduct of the defendant was suspicious, " very suspicions indeed, to come a knocking at a mati's lonic in the middle of the day ;" and he hoped his Worship woald make biro find hail. Mr. C. again explained who he was, and offered to 'send for a relation of Ws to confirm the truth of his statement; but a gentlemen present, u Lei w him, said *efficient to render this unnecessary. Ile explained his conduct, as he had already done to Mr. Josephs. The latter strenuously insisted that he ought to find bail, but the Magistrate was of another opinion, and discharged the defendant, who declared that he would proceed against Josephs. The latter also vowed lie would indict Mr. C. at the Sessions this day fur the assault. HATTON-HARDY.—On Saturday, a person named Craire was brought np,•tineler the hawkers and Pedlars Act, for vending sand without a license. • The office was crowded with public informers, of whom there were no less than fifty present, anxiously anticipating the con viction of the defendant; but Mr. Serjeant SaLLoN, be. ing desirous to have the opinion of his brother Stogie: l trates„ at the ensuing Sessions, upon the merits of the case, postponed his decision for a fortnight.

She was ill at that time, and had been so ilk, i 'hristinas-day. In consequence of my application, m e. Phillips came to see her about five o'clock in the aft er . noon. He went into her room, where she was placed ae a chair, being unable to lay down. He asked her mem' questions u to her parish, and she stated to him that'll @ belonged to St. t lement Danes, and that she %%tilted forte. lief.

I answered, perhaps they would not take het in, and in that case I wished to know what I was to do. He then said, " Uun't he concerned about that, they resit take her in; and if they ito not, take her out of thecae& place her on the steps of the workhouse, anal leave her:' (there the witness India into tears, and was so touch aged. ed that it was some minutes before she could proceed.)" ) said I could not do that, hut he answered, that they weald take her in, and he then went out of the shop. I tweet home an.l got her ready, and got her into a coach, with the assistance of the landlady, and about eleven we set off !o St. l ienient's workhouse. When we came there, the ; refused to admit her.

Mr. Kimpion stated, that he bad taken a note to the Coroner from liow-street, requesting him to bold an is quest. Mr. Ilartu. very humanely remarked upon the eon duet shewn to this woman, and upon the manner is which poor people were driven about. Mr. Phillips said, he did not drive the poor . people about, and he conceived the Alagistrate had no right to say so. The first time he heard of this woman he was attending to his duty as an overseer. He went to Cole warostreet, and saw her. lie said the best thing for her would he to send her to her parish ; hut, he Obaerved, she was not in a it state to be removed, and he proposed taking her into St. Luke's workhouse, until she was better able to be passed to St. ('lenient Hanes.
