By the Coney—There was ple nt y . of room to tack on 'each side bf three buoys, which were in a line in the course of the river.. Mr. Gnawer replied.' Two defences were dangerous lied Itedh would fail hem. Tbe night was stormy, but tide lead delete by broad daylight ; the boats were seen by the' tress; and they had so much water in them. But would that stave the boat ? Why this was like the defence of tie Irishman, who when charged with biting off a man's nose, lisrbre that the man bit off his own nose. The mate had reached out his short foot to try if he could touch a boat-I0 feet elf. Was Oat to be believed ? The Learned Gentle. 'man animadverted then with great minuteneis upon the defendant's evidence. The Loan Cater Justtca —lf they thought the Swift 1 struck against the boat, the plaintiff was entitled to their verdict. Is was imprudent and improvident to have left the boats so; and if they had been struck in the dark, no redress could be given, in his opinion. • It was difficult to conceive that the injury woe done to one boat by the ether. The credit of the whoever. was entirely a matter for their consideration. Vegdiet for the plaintiff—Diontgts, 191.: coats 40s. • ~............... INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT—Wtorstanar. W. Thomas Thomas Braisher applied for 'hie discharge, which Mr. Heath oppose, at the instance of Mr. Poole, of Everett Street ; Mr. Jones, of Devonshire Street; and Mr. (}eddies, of Oreat • Ormond Street, all tailors, of whom the insolvent perchased clothes Stre e t, h own use, and he came responsible for some to others to the amount Of 12/1. !Qs. within the course of about ten days. • Theineeleent gave the following description of himself in his-arffedule:—`•.W.'l'. Britisher. formerly of Lamb's C o nduit Street, Middlesex, jouroeyman fishmonger; then of Rotterdam, in the prostate of Holland, genleman; and l as tly of Chancery Lane. London. gewleman. t " The insolvent stated that he had served as journeyman to Mr. Liu key. a fishmonger in Lamb's Conduit-street,and receir ed a salary of 201. a year; be was so when the transactions took place which were about to be inquired into—had been a gentleman sometimes, and became so in 1822 ; Llekey I 1 married lois sister. s fer was respectable named boot Duran er t, who is a gentleman; he became so perhaps by marrying the niece of Isrly Drummond Smith ; lie formerly lived in Castle Street, Finsbury Square, where be was a tailor, but "done over." and obliged to compromise with his, creditors : after which he also becathe a gentle' man, and went to Holland; to. live on the property of hit wife, which the creditors were unehle to touch. He be• lieved her income to be 1501. a year. This was the person he introduced to the complainants, by reason of which he obtained clothes to the amount of 561., fur which he held bimeelf responsible. He acknowledged also that 'the same persons, and almost at the Caine March, 1822, supplied himself with clothes to the amount of 801., or thereabouts. He had also purchased a piano forte, a gold watch and appendages, and a silver mug and cop; the latter he paid for, and the former the vender got back. The plate was given to his uncle to discharge au obligation, and he left London for Holland in March, -1822; resided, while there, at No. 32, Bolter's Quay, Rotterdam. His object in going thither was to get a .Wtaation which offered at Hatnburgh ; but the house failed, and he returned to his native city. lie denied, in the cwt positive terms, having had any interest in the fish 7 nger's shop in Lamb's Conduit Street, Mr. Jonathan Jones deposed that, about the 3d o r March, 1822, the insolvent and Durant : called on hint, 'and requested witness to come to his house. He did so ; (when the insolvent 'aid he had been introduced to him by some of his (witne ss ' s ) customers, but be could. not same one of them. He wanted to give an order for 'self and Durant ; being a man of repute as a trades 'h su im an, iilto took the order for " first rate clothes ;" among ot l her (things requested , was a great coat of the best cloth-404A ipearl buttons—the collar sod cuffs to be covered with ler, and the lining thronghout to be of silk. The order Mason ready money terms, and the charges made ac- - Oordingly. When they were taken home, insolvent said. a suit of black was necessary, and must he delivered on the following day, and then the bill for the whole would • be discharged. Durant was represented as a gentleusan of fortune. Had he known lie had been a broken taildr, witness would not bare made him any clothes. Mr. Alex. (}eddies deposed that the insolvent bad been a iseighbour of his. He was supposed to be one of the pro ?titters of the splendid fishmonger's shop, and used to act as such in every respect. When witness went to receive the or- Wee, he saw the last witness there. He went away; and returned When lie asked If that was not Mr. J., of Devonshire street, "the insolvent !ably's. . Ile called, es he had heard that there :Faison extensive order . • .but he did not employ him , becau se his cut was not as fash ionable as witness's. Witness would not even now take lab. in the pound, from the conviction that the shop belonged to the insolvent. Mr. Jas. Poole stated that he had Inn known the insolvent; who complimented him on one oceiselos on his smart cut, and' observed as he had been a customer for fish, he hoped he' would give him a turn by an order for clothes. lie did so fpr in. tea., and would have given hint credit for lOU., as ills reputed proprietor of as 4andootne a fishmonger's shop as any in !madam.

Mtn, roper vented himself as a man of fortune, and enjoying Yost . . landed property in Devonshire, and expressed a wish .to treat for Kent Mansion. Witness told him the terra : ZQO guineas per year, to be Oki monthly. The prisoner viewed. 1 the house, and expressed himself satisfied with it; parti. calmly with the coach house and stabling; the latter he said, were admirably suitable ter his horses. Solisequentif •the bargain was atcuek. and an agreement was entered tote between the prisoner and witness. as agent of die widow Gossett; and it was understood that he shou4 take possession on the day after Chiisonis day, upoo eondition that lie was a rtspect.ble man. Next day he wrote to Salt, stating that he required a reference to some persons who could speak to his responsibility ; and on the sth instant, be was referred to Mr. Whittingbana, No. 9.1 Torrington square, from whom he received a g ood charity 1 ter of Salt, with w hich i he was satisfied ; and on the 11th i Salt took possession of the mansion and furniture, and. the agreement was regularly executed. Since that. be had I ascertained that the representation made by the prisoner Whittingain, of the character of Salt, was false, and that both were notorious sharpers. Finding he bad been thus swindled, and being. solicitous of protecting Mrs. Gossett's property, lie waited upon the Magistrates at Bow street, to whom be represented tke case, and they told him .the law would allow him to regain possession in the best way heicoulsl; but *her it aid not allow hint to mike a forcible 'entrance, or to use any violence in ejecting the person in . possession, 'although they obtained it fraudulently. • Mr. ALLEY said that it had been decided in the Court of Common Pleas recently, that where a tradessuso or - any other person had been cheated oat of their property-ono matter what—by a set of swindlers, that the law empower ed them to regain possession in the beat manner they could, so long as they refrained from violence. , I Mr. Dyer then continued t o sta t e that be had acted in the manner sanctione d. lie desired has clerk to go wit h I the three men who . ate charger ilifi assaulting the pii- I sorer Salt on Tend* afternoon, and, Rpossible, to regain possession, hut ty no means toned 'violence. Mr. John Palmer, clerk to Mr. Dyer, stated, tint in consequence of the instructions of Mr. Diet, be went about 2 o'clock in the afternoon of Tnesilay to the houses and the door having been opened, he inquired fo Mr. b as. who, he was told, was from hom e. He qiiitly walked in followed by the three wren, Carron, Frazer, and Heyward: There were in the hoose,Mrs.Salt and two tensile domestics. Ile told Mrs. Salt his business, and left the three men id oss ession.—Shortly after she and the two female s left the house without being forced out. Joseph Caron, one of the men who was left in possession; stated, that about ten o'clock on Tuesday night, after be and his fellow servants had been left in possession, a vio lent knocking and ringing took place. Witness ran up stairs, and looked through th e hall window, and inr,uired I " who was there ?" and almost immediately the window was broke and he received a tremendous blow on the head, which laid his skull open. Presently Salt made kis way, into the hall through the aperture in the wito:ow, foP lowed by the prisoner Whittingliam.• The door, which was chained, was opened by Salt, and a vast number of persons, amongst whom were some of the Life Gouda, rushed into the house. The greatest confusion took place, which ended in his fellow servants and himself being carried to the esatchhouse on the charge of S.lt, fir as. wilting him, by which means he again got possession ;of the house. Mr. WHITS said, that as Mr. Dyer had stated that he bad sought the repossession of the premises in consequence 1 of 'his hearing he had l e t t hem to a swindler, he cow ' ceived the persons ought to be produced Ironrw.boin lie had heard such statement. . , • Me. T. Croft, grocer, residing in Marylebene ;Street, Gel den Square, then stated, that on Tuesday week the prisoner IV hittingham called on him, and wished to take a ready; furnished house lie had to let, in Norfolk Street, GrosveUor Square. He agreed to become a tenant, to 2(101. per year, and it was understood he was to take possession on the day alter Christmas day. Witness told him a reference would be required ; upon which he referred him to the prisoner Salt, at Kent House, Mount Row, Knightsbridge. Witness accordingly waited upon that gentlemmon Wtd• nesday last; be was introduced to him by a livery servant. On hearing the nature of h i s bus iness . he raid that Whit. tingham was a young man of considerable proporty,,and n a( abort purchasing a house, and be supposed he merely wanted the one in question for the interinedieto time. Hs armored witness be need not he at all afraid of bie friend Whittingbam. Witness suspected all was not right,wed made inquiries in the neighbourhood of Kent Ifortaae g • amongst other persons he went to Mr. Dyer. . ... • Mr.-HARMER submitted that this testimony did not bear upon the case before the Magistrate. • I Mr. WHITS said, he should not receive it as evidence against the prisoners ; all ,he wanted to know was, whether Mr. Dyer had grounds fee attempting to regain the house ; and from the testimony of Mr. Croft, be seas satisfied he had quite sufficient reason. Mr. Aehford, in the entitles, of Mr. Wood, ironmonger, of Tottenham Court Road, said the prisoner 1V hittingliani some time ago contractrto debt of 1,10 1 - with his ' , DP' a::orr for which be wes *boot te ,rust him. 04 Itednebilay evening last the prisoner Salt balled upon Mr. Wood', mak stated his, uawe to he Npetqn, and that he was Witilling• liains‘a miliciter, stoO assured him ;bat be toislil t e.field every fortirkig ;• adding,. that the Coupe of Mr. %Twang . hm's oeige,ncies was ewottg.to Ids haritig *thronged a.

It appeared from the evidence of the young lady, that the dispute between the parties, though it had not er.de,i, originated in smoke. There we' a certain door in the housq which, when opened, cawed each a Tontity of sinifke in the French lady's apartments, as to threaten suffocation ; while, on the other band, when eho', the young lady was in danger of fainting for want of air Aa altercation accordingly baring ensued as to' the paid lion of thei door, ft seemed thtt after each pity hail es. handed the renscolar power, of the toogae, Madame" called in the aid 'd those of the band. and gave the yomig lady such >i aristmas Box en' the cheek, that in lepmn. dently of the. derangement it produced in her jag, hal 'totally annihilated a fa'fonrite dimple. The French la ly, id s her defence, pat in a pies of justification. She stated that the young lady had applied to her some gross epithets; cline , ' her a nasty woman, cast some tntolerahla redetions en her country, and then spit in her face, and thrust her &segue out et her. ,There wag,, however, no evidee to prove that this tali vary dityliarge against'her face might net have he.m en accidental splash of the team of raze, and that thrusting the lenges °Gimlet not ham been intended as an instill. but for the peptise of codling it after the violent exercise it had. previously undergoem. 'The Ceptai6, a' very gentlemanly man, appeared Ne es' h'ebalf of his *IV. and the Magistrate told lifsethit would ' only moire his renewals _nee fot his trlte's ape pearence: Upon hearing this decision, two eittVisiteit. who appeared in sunport of u Beauty inland," espy.seed themselves in 'such a• manner as to call for the seir.ius animadversion of the Magistrate. They then quitt.d the others quite indignant that the' French cut of their cons and their English na , ivity had not given them a doulide ad vantage in the decision of this important case.
