' SUMACS V. ADDRaWS. Mt. AiettpOLD stated, that. this action was brought. to. ,r over a considerable . sum of money adtaored by ;ho .plaintiff to the defendant. The parties met original{} is .1816, at Stevens's Hotel; they formed a close- intt• niers; and afterwards set out together for a tour .on this ormaisent.• Mr. Andrews 'represented himself to, hie. Mood as in temporary want of mosey , from the beck wards's* of those relations who ought. to supply him, 'hat as well assented of speedy independence and wealth. Belying on these assurances, Mr. Wallace paid the bill which the defendant had costrected at the hotel, and continued to supply him with cash, and to make• ments for him daring their travels. They resided fur It; months atParis, under this system, till the intswedialo resonrceauf Mr. Wallace weee exhausted, when he.fituad himself deserted by his friend, and arrested for their tamest debts.. Tbui Mr. Wallace was theatre into pri son in a foreign coorstry, and might have lingered there till thie day, had not the British Ambsseador, who was acquainted with his family, interfered on his behalf, and paid the debt., aniountiow to 12,000 fronts, for which he was then in custody. Sir. Andrews, though he bad since become possessed of a large fortune, had forgotten this debt of honour, of aeatitode, and of justice, and bad compelled the *knit/ to substantiate hist 'claim in a Court of Law. It might be said, that Mr. Wallace had encouraged the defendant to spend more money than. he could. afford ; but this ungracious defence would not avail, as Mr. Andrews must be supposed the best judge of his own resources and prospects in life. The leasnail Counsel called a mto who had served as valet to both parties, named Homey, who stated rations payments made by the plaintiff for the defendant. The LORD Curer JUSTICI strongly recommended a reforence, as the .parties were gentlemen, and had been on terms of friendship . . After some conversation, this suggestion was adopted, and a verdict was taken for 1,00 W., subject to the award of Mr. Jones. HIGH COURT OF JUSTtCIARY, EDINBURGH MAT It The Court this day resumed its sitting. The first canoe which came before it was a prosecntion for per jury, at common Jaw, and under the BANKRUPT Statutes. Joke ilairlie, convicted at the last Glasgow' circait of perjury, was arraigned at the bar, on certification, for the purpose of teceiying judgment. Lord Gtwas reported the case. The panel bid been convicted of having lodged a false and fraudulent affi davit, in which he claiafed as creditor on the sequestrat ed estate of Robert Smellie, to the amount of X4,0'11, Os. W., and of having accordingly voted for the election of a trustee. The case appearing, to his learned brother, as well as himself, one which was deserving of particu lar notice, they had referred the punishment of it to, their Lordships. Lord tlillies concluded by suggesting that the crime be marked with infamy, and be punished with transportation for seven years. . Lord HaeNAaD considered this a proper ease for an ex ample, and one which d d all the publicity to which the most exemplary treatment could expose it; for a crime more dangerous to the commercial world, or of deeper in famy in , itself. had rarely ever occurred. The panel bad been convicted of lodging a fraudulent claim in a segues tration to the amount or 40001. This sum might have been large enough to influence the election of a trustee in his own interest. His Lordship felt convinced that rrimes of less dangerous consequence, and of less moral guilt In the sight of both God sad man, had frequentiy been punished with death. He would not have been for going that length, if the law had permitted him ; but there were instances of perjury, in which the approprlgte.punisliment of the pillory had been added to that of imprisonment or transportation. If be had sat alone, he should certainly have indicted a se verer punishment than bad been proposed. Some of his brother Judges, however, thought transportation for seven years an adequate punishment in the present instance; he should tweed* to that proposal, but he certainly could not have approved of less. Lord VITMILLT also assented, and the Lord J . USTICE CLERK pronounced jasigosent, saying that he lamented, on the panel's own account, and on account of his family, the disgrace and the punishment which the commercial iaterests of the country required that lie. should nnder• go. The sentence of the (Jowl " declared the said John Haillie a false and perjured person, infamous in all time coming, incapable of holding any public office or trust, abd adjudged bins to be transported fur seven years." The panel afterwards protested his innocence, and sup plicated the Court to examine some accounts which he said would convince them of his truth. He was remind. ed by the Court, that his documents bad been laid before the Jury, and he was then removed from the bar. , be ii mat:more than.rili-akkffiffi it~f.tltivia~, it.

Orti.onst.t..—'fbren boys. named Anises Morgan, Henri Moir, and George Sinrlrton, were brought up yesterday before the sitting Magistrate, Me. Alderman Atkins. . • Mr. Sandford, of St. Mary's-place, Kent-roads passing through Mt. Swithires-lane, on Wednesday. missed his _handkerchief ; be was addressed by a little boy, nam ed Davison, who told him sums boys had been trying his pocket. He mentioned the road they hal takes, and . Mr. Sandford, accompanied him into Lombard-street, where he pointed out a buy in a brown co it (the prisoner Morgan) as the one he had seen put his hand into Mr. Sandford's packet, and he wakin consequence taken 1* custody to the Compter. Here he was soon recognised as an old acquaintance. He, however, stoutly denied having ever hesn in custody before. While this conver sation was going on, Singleton applied at the Compter door far liberty to see him, having at the same time a black cost over his arm, which he said was Morgan's. Martin, the °Meet to whom this application was.utisde, knowing Morgan had a cost on, suspected something, and on looking round, saw another little boy, about (germ's size, standing without coati This was the • prisoner Moir, who was also initnedi stely recognised as having been discharged only the day before from New gam, having had the good:141one to be acquitted on an indictment for picking pockets. The two new comers were consequently detained. When brought before the I Magistrate yesterday, the boy Davison swore positively to Moir si having been in company with Morgan at the time of the attempt on Mr. Sandford, end it subsequent ly came out, that the tao boys being Much of the same size aid age (neither of them 14), had changed coats with' the view of changing again atter committing their de predations, that their persons might not be so easily re cognized.

The friends of Mor on bed been applied to, but they had given him op as, incorrigible, and did not appear in his behalf. Singleton said he was in employ, and could send for his master, for which purpose, as also to consider wife= they any thing could be done with the other hays, he sides sending them to trial, the/ were all remanded for , another examination. BOW•STRIMT.—DISRONVIIT SERVANT.—/ferberi GU beet was brought before Sir dimwits ataxic yesterday, charged with having robbed his emp toyer, Messrs. It, Garrard and Brothers, the silversmiths, in Pantoe-street, Haymarket. The prisoner has been four or five years in Messrs. ilarrards' service as a porter. The other day he offered a small quantity of old silver for sale to Mr. Whitford, a working silversmith in Porter-street, Newport-market, and be knowing the - prisoner to be Messrs. 6arrards' ser vant, suspected he bad no procured the silver honestly ; and, retaining the property, he desired the prisoner to call again on the fallowing slay. In the meantime he eomninuicated the circumstance to Messrs. Garrard, and, es he bail snspectei, the property had been pilfered from their stock. The prisoner was then- given in custody to Jefferson, and a search warrant having been obtained, a great number of different articles, their property, were found in his house, No. 13, Burton-street, Walwortn•Counuon, where, it seems, his wife kept a shop for the sale of them. The prisoner said nothing at all in his defence, and was fully committed to Newgate for trial. Isis* Row.—Ed. Walsh alias Tipperary Trebly, was brougat before 0. R. MINSHULL, Esq.. on Wednesday night charged with having violently assaulted Peter Apr, one the beadke of St. Martin's parish. It appeared by the evidence of the beadle and others, that two Irishmen were indulging their natural propensitigs by knocking each other about, in Old Round-court, on Saturday night lest, to the very great annoyance even of that pugna cious neighbourhood. The beadle went to quell the disturb ance, and with some difficulty he prevailed upon the combat ants to desist ; when Tipperary Teddy was so exasperated at the sport being spoiled, that his knocked the beadle down by a tremendonstlow in the mouth. This blow was the signal for a general row ; for the poor beadle was no sooner op the ground, thane dozen other Irishmen f,ll upon him, kicking and beating him most unmercifully; and had' not a powerfal body of English bystanders interfered, he would hardly hate escaped with his life, As it was, became out of the affray with his countenance so disfigured, that scarcely a feature was discernible, his hand totally disabled by their trampling upon it; and his whole body literally covered with bruises. Tipperary Teddy, in his defence, pleaded an alibi, and called the landlord of s neighbouring public-house to prove, that he WAS "busy a driakikg,'la tup-tooin the whole of that evening. The landlord failed to prove this,—all he could may wa•, that he saw Tipperary Toddy in his house repeat edly on that-evening ; ■o,t that Tipperary Teddy WAS so much giveoto talki sg,th at Itivl tie been &tweet aoly fur a ninon, he inset have misird Win by the falling o'ir of the noise.
