In Oil case an Insurance Compel 'w -re made parties to a bill, merely hecattse they win atakeholders. 'They sought to tile a bill of interphmler to`protect themselves from further responsi bility. On the *tier side it was contended, that each bill would ant on the principle of : n injunction. and as an in nction was not of tamable by a co-defendant, against ancther defendant, their application must fail. However true the doctrine might be in other cave:, it would be dime reruns in the nresent instance. The Insurance Company rre mat parties 'litigant. They seek to secure themselves rnU farther claims, and they solicit to pay into Court hateter money is due of them to tither of the defendants. that tlit Court may order it to he paid to the party entitled et the end of the suit. Ilia Honour thought that the ;n:icnetion should be granted, but without costs, as the F oint was novel in the practice of the Court. In future, when such a point use raised, costs would be given a.gttiost the party. Mr. Haw: said he understood the rule then Isid . down by the Court, to apply to all cases similar to those of Insurance Companies. For instance where a deposit was left in the hands of sectioarers. In the latter case considerable difficulty was found. His HONOUR thought that the question was well worth eonsideration. At present. the two cases appeared to him to stand on the same principles. BARFIELD V. NI VIIOLVIN• This was an application by the plaintiff to restrain the it. fenolant from the publication of a certain work called the Practical Builder. It appeared that the plaintiff and the defendant agreed. in the year 1813, to publish con jnintiv a work entitled the Architectural Dictionary. l'he defendant was to furnish the letter press, the plates, and drawings, and the plaintiff provided the expense of the publication, and he did in fact advance 4,0001. In la'2l, an agreement took place, by which the defendant assigned his interest in the work to the plaintiff. for the consideration of 2.30/„ and executed a deed, binding him. self not to publish any work that would he detrimental to the Architectural Dictionary. Since that time, the Wes. der t thought 6t to publish a work in numbers called that Practical Builder, which, it was contended, was a copy, or I nearly a copy, from the Architectural Dictionary. The VICE CHANCELLOR granted the injunction on the term% of the covenant, 1114 the defendant should not pub bah any rival work, or work detrimental to the Ambito:. turn' Dictionary. —oermeree— COURT OF KING'S BENCll.—Fetnay. SIMONDS V. WHITE. This was a question whether an Enzlishman's son born Auterio a, the father having been resident in that country before and after it was declared independent of this country, could inherit land in England. In an action of • ejectment, verdict was given for the plaintiff, the special matter bring reserved for argument before their Lord. -ships. Mr. Justice BATLEY, in the absence of the Chiefincice, •observed that it was a case of great importance, and that as the term WE% so far advanced it wont I be better to have the verdict made special in the interval, and postpone the *argument-to next term. CROFT V. KING. Difendadt was arrested for a debt on the affidavit of the pia ntil, and as he meant to defend the action, Mr. CIIITTT moved on his behalf, that the plaintiff he called on to give security for the costs of the action. The application was found on an affidavit of the defendant, who swore that he hail reason to believe the plaintiff resided, and meant to resitbaaelth his family at Soissone, in France, an 1 that he had cores over specially to make the affi !mit on which the defend int was err stet!, and then returned again to s o I ; i0. 'lt svas.obvious, that if :Ie defendant proceeded •witli the artier', he could have no remedy against the plaintiff in ewe of getting a verdict. Nit. Justice BATLEY—Hare you perfected bail yet? Ir. CHITTY-At is not stated, my Lord, in the sty lavit. Mr. Justice Bietev—Until you have perfected bait, you tare no right to come here. DO E, ON THE DEMISE OF RILDIGE V. BROTHERSTON• A rule was obtained this term calling on the defendant, an attorney, who had carried on some proceedings for the alemised party. to show cause why his name should not be Struck off the roll. He was charged with having included enormans and unwarrantable costs in his hill, which were afterwards considerably reduced by the Alastet. Mr. PEARSON now applied to bare the rule enlarged, os the ground that the defendant could not have sufficient time within the present term, to answer the charges which were matte against him, and which, he stated, he would be able to insert in the most satisfactory manner. Mr. B.OTCH °prised the application, at the express instruction of his clients, who, thoogh they were poor, were determined, if possible, to remove the defendant from the profession. and to doing so, they conceived that they were doing a public good. ,The charges which he made in his b;Ils were so exorbitant, including fees to Counsel' which never were paid, and many i.e:ns that never before were found in an attorney's bill, that indelicate as it seemed to be to pro ss a matter of this nature, he felt it his duty to resist tbe motion. The Cootie' conceiving that the defendant would not have sufficient time to answer the rule this term, enlarged it to next term. FORRESTER V. BRIOMAN. Mr. Cooeco moved for a mandamus, tailing on the Ilibestial of the King's Bench Prison to hear, in his capacity of Magistrate, the complaint of the tolslntiff against the &fen !ant. In April, 1821, the plaintiff, being a prisoner in the said prison, gave a ten pound note to the defendant, wlto ri presented himself to be an attorney, far the purpose of getting him to der some service which the plaiutiff wanted. As soon as the defendant obtained the money, he we.tt away, and never was beard of till August last, when be was committed to the King's Bench Prison for debt ; the Plaintiff bring also still a prisoner, and both beim: ithin the walls of the prison, he applied to the Alarshal to hear his complaint against the defendant for money under false pretences. Mr. Justice BATLEY—You sty be obtained money from your client ender the false pretence of being an attorney, an I prpposing to do services which , not b ein g an attorney, lie eo Oil not perform. Mr. COOPER-1 do, my Lord. Mr. Justice DIMLY—Take a rale to show cause. CONSISTORY ,COURT.—FR I DAT. MANVILLE V. MANVILLE. De. LUSIIISGTON said this was an action of divorce trotyrbt by the wife agaiust the husband, by reason of cruelty and adultery; the husband had not appeared in the regular manner, hut had suffered the ca.e to lay over from time to time; hat the libel was unt brouzlit in, and hr prayed that it might be admitted. - The libel stated that in March, April, and May, IS2I, the wife was grossly ill treated by bee linshind, they t'ien lived at the Constitution public-house, GreatJaines-streer, Lissoc-grove, her husband being the landlord; but through ill treatment she left the Lonse.—Soon af'er the marria;e be need to brat her, and use very disgusting language towards her. When she left the bowie she er.ot to her brother's, but at the solicitation of her Ifinband sbe returned home again, oil his promise of atoendment; but his former violent disposition was soon re newed, and on one occasion he threatened to stab her with a knife, bat his intention was prevented by persons coming to her assistance. He afterwards knocked her down in the bar, and on another occasion dragged her Into the kitchen, • -.reek hef so violently as to break several of hrr ribs, .as not since been restored to health. The adultery iu his cogitation with several females, by whiCit and strae and sae I. • eassisted • • r •• ••••.•:' - • --,•• • w THE STATESMAN It. bad contracted a loathsome disease; she in consequence, prayed for the divorce, on the charges of cruelty and adul tery.—Sir C. ROBINSON ordered the libel to be admitted. GRIM V. ono. In this cause, originally one of restitution of conjagal rights promoted by the husband against the wife, and to which the wife has since pleaded the husband's adultery in bar, a long argument was sustained upon an application made by the lady's proctor, that the Court would allow a further delay on decreeing publication, and assigning it for sentence. The counsel for Mr. Greg opposed this, on the ground that the suit bad already been depending ever since the year 1819. Sir CHRISTOPHER. Romsort finally decreed publication on the next Court day. BULB; V. HOLUB. • • Dr. LUSaINOTON said this was a cause of divorce on the plea of cruelty and adultery. • Dr. Jesse ADAMS opposed the application, and read certain parts of the libel, in which it was stated that the parties had lived separate three years, and had cohabited together previous to that time only 13 months. He (Dr. Adams) could not see what protection the wife could ex pect to have, as she had already the protection of the law, baviog exhibited articles of the peace against her husband, who was bound in recognizance. of 2001. She pleaded that her husband had often threatened to beat her, to run her through with a red hot poker, to stab her, &c., hut these were only threats and menaces, and net one act of personal violence proved. It was indeed in evidence, that a nurse bad come in on one occasion while she was on her knees imploring her husband to save her life, but on her inter ference he desisted, and no violence was done. He (Dr. Adams) knew that in some cases it was not necessary to prove actual violence before the party can come into this Court, but these threats are stated to have occurred fre quently, and yet to personal violence was committed.— The case that approached nearest to the present was Ot. way v. Otway, where Mrs. Otway swore to repeated threats, where her husband bad held a pistol to her head, and would have shot her, bat for the interference of her servants, but there it was also stated be'spat in her face, pushed the candle into her face, and on one occasion seized her violent ly, by her arms, in the garden, until she was extricated by the gardener, w ho beard her screams for assistance ; and yet, in that case s the prayer was not granted. There was also a difference of rank between those parties and the parties now before the Court ; Mrs. Otway was the daughter of a Baronet, and her husband was possessed of property to the amount of 5,0001. per annum ; and Mr. Ilulme was only a Pawnbroker, residing in Stepney. As to the charge of adultery, it was made in general terms, that he did, soon after the separation, and does still cohabit with one Mary Hughes, who passes for his wife ; he (Dr. Adams) contend ed that the charge ought not to be made general, but ought to be particularized. Dr. LUSHINOTON was beard, at some length, in reply ; he contended that the charge of cruelty was substantiated, although no violence was proved, and that it was not neces sary to wait until she bad been actually beaten or killed, before she complained. Neither was it necessary to prove any individual act of adultery, because it was stated that Mr Huline has all along cohabited with another *omen. — Libel admitted. PALACE coma, FRIDAY, Nor. 21. J.tCKROY C. NL'TT. • Milt COVIRT. This was a motion made by Mr. Talisman for a rule absolute to discharge the defendant, Mrs. Mary Nutt, late keeper of an extensive hoarding school on Barnes Terrace, Sorry, but now a risoner of the Palace Court, out of custody upon filing common hail. The defendant had been arrested upon a bill of exchange' of which the plaintiff was the bolder; which said bill was accepted by the defendant, who was alleged to be known to the plaintiff as a Ante covert: upon this ground the motion was made. Mr. LULA. for thc plaintiff showed cause against the rule. The Court, he was aware, he said, has jurisdiction in this case, and it was with the Court, whether, after all he could say, it would listen to so summary a proceeding as a motion, or leave the defendant to . plead hat...cot/enure. Upon a bill of exchange Diane covert is personating her self as a single woman, and sending her writing forth to the world as such; and he should show that she bad resided on Barnes Terrace for a series of years, and was not known by any one as a married woman—not even by the trades people who served her, of which he had affidavits. Ueorge Page swears he has resided in the place for seven years ; has known the defendant accept a bill of exchange in general dealing; but never knew she was a married woman. Au affidavit also of George Cook states he has known the defendant 3 years, and has been frequently in the habit of serving her with coals, consequently being backward and for ward to the house, but never knew her to be a married woman. -He (Mr. Erie) thought these circumstances, combined with her having accepted the b.l', and the plaintiff's affidavit also that he did not knave her to be a married woman, would negative the grant of the rule. It was, however, a matter fairly within the discretion of the Court. Mr. Erie then recited the cases of Madam Legal, and Barfield against Madam de Polen, fo reigners who came here to trade, and having contracted debts, moved to be discharged as forte coverts, but the Court refused the uliscilarge. He was aware when he recited these cases that they were from 30 to 30 years old, and the discretion still re mained with the Court; but he did it to show its former prac tice: he also held a letter in his hand, wherein the defendant talked of her debt and her bill, and that If she was confined, it would only place her in a situation where she would be void of the means of ever paying. The learned Judge, Burton Morris, Esq. said, a woman might talk of her debt, or her act of any sort, and still be a /erne covert, who claimed protection from the law. Mr. Tuestoen replied.--Although his learned friend had brought forward those records, ha had takes the marginal notes, and not looked into the body of the case ; and even in the plaintiff s own affidavit, he did not ettempt to deny what was put at issue on a former occasion—that at the time of this bill transaction,he asked the defendant whetherMr.Nutt was not In a good situation, which clearly demonstrated he knew of heo husband ; and even in his afflfavit, tie altogether evaded this circumstance. Although the defendant answered. Mr. Nutt was not— The s learned Judge saw the point to which the counsel al luded, and was of opiuion the pristine: was entitled to her discharge. Rule absolute, with costs. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT.---Futroar. Thomas Kenton was opposed by the Churchwardens oi Stoneleigh under the following circumstances :—lt appear ed that the insolvent had been at a former time one of the Churchwardens of this parish—at this period be was in debted to several of the parishioners; these parishioners were bound to pay certain parish rates to the insolvent, in his pa:ochial other; these sums, amounting in into to i3ll. 9'. I Id., he left in the hands of the creditors, as a set off against the money due by him to them on his private account; be subsequently hecain4 31 insolvent: he never paid this cleliciency to his successors in the office for the puld:c uses of the parish. Ile farther stated in his affidavit, that be, while Churchwarden, made payments in advance on account of the parish, which soup, it was 1 proved. he really never paid.—TheCusimissiostat express ed, in very .trong terms, his reprehension at such a per version of his Fubdc duties, to the improper and unprinci pled prom.ition of his private iut.rest ; it was a flagrant violation of public trail; and as tie affair rallied to the parish, he considered- the sum delicient to constitute a raudelent debt ; he, therefore, felt no hesitation in sending him hack to confinement, Ni , hin the prison nails, fur the space of twelve calendar mo rvhs. Charles Spencer Clair/hi:l, E.g. commonly called Lord , Charles Spencer Churchill, ano sued as Lord Charles , Churchill. ri Mr. rots.octc rose as Conniel in the above m I.ter, and I *Served t:sat In had an applicati. , n to tne.lie rclati‘e to the petitioner,who was opposed by a variety of creditors (whose names the Court would take down), by his Learned Friend Mr. Cook. Those creditors principally resided at and near St. Albin's, and owing to the circumstances under which the debts were contracted, considerable difficulty had arisen not only as to amounts. but also as to the actual persons claiming to be creditors. His application, there fore, was, that the Court would grant an extension of time, and issue a new order for hearing, on payment of costs of the day. Mr. Coon did not oppose the application, and the Court acceded to the prayer of the learned applicant. George Deane was opposed by Mr. POLLOCK on behalf of several creditors. The insolvent bad been before the Court on a former day, when his case was referred to the provissional assignee of the Court. whose report was now read, and stated that the insolvent had been examined, and bad stated that be had been robbed in his house at Crockleigh. in Wiltshire, on the night of the 6th of June last, of WI. in country bank notes, and other prorerty, to the amount of 2301.; and that he had received the hank notes for cattle he had sold two days before, but could not name any of the persons by whom they bad been purchased. The report also stated, that one of the insolvent's creditors bad made an affidavit containing facts, which added to the many inconsistencies in the insolvent's answers, made it highly improbable that lie bad lost the money of which is said be was robbed.—The Insolvent prayed the Court for time to answer the affidavits that had been made by his creditor.—The Coon . said, ample time for that porprse bad been already given biro, and he had made no use of it; further time should be allowed him on his undertaking to pay the costs of the day.—The Insolvent declared he was unable to pay the costs. The Cotarr said, if be did nut consent to pay costs, the case roust either go on, or the order for hearing roust be dismissed.—The tosolveat pre ferred the latter alternative, an.: the order for hearing was in consequence dismissed. Aurae° Wuaestiox was opposed by Mr. Heath for a creditor named Day, a saddler, at Ilampstea I. The Insolvent stated that be was of age in Jane 1321, when he became eotitledto 1,5001. 8 per cent. stock, which he sold in the August following for 1,232/. of which lie gave his father, who is a butcher at Hampstead. 5001. in gratitude for his having given a very good education. — The insolvent admitted he co'sll neither read nor write, but said it was owing to the weakness of his eyes, and not want of care in his father. On receiving his money in August 1821, he commenced cattle dealer, and being very unsuccessful, lost all his money. and the last of his cattle was sold under distress about 3 months ago. Mr. Day, the upposin: creditor, stated that the insolvent borrowed a saddle and bridle from him after lie had refused to give him any further credit, and never re turned it. The COLMT said the Insolvent had certainly obtained the articles from Mr. Day in a fraudulent manner, and re manded him for three months from the date of bis petition. El:lwatt) PaOngllT was opposed by Mr. Cooke, in behalf of two creditors, name i Nicholls and Randal. The Insolvent was a butcher and cow keeper in Cold Bath Square, for 30 year, and in June 1820, gave bis brother in law a n arrant of attorney for 5001. which he then lent the insolvent to assist bins in his business. The insolvent since paid his brother in lea , 1001. and being arrested three times in August Fast, the warrant of attorney was put in force. and all the insolvent's property sold under it for about 200 t. The insolvent's opposing creditors both depose , ' that they wod not have given him credit it:td they known be had given a warrant of attordry; they admitted that the insol vent had dealt with them, and made his p iyments in the same manner after the date of the warrant of attorney as before. The COURT said it was evident the insolvent hal not given the warrant of a , torney fur the purpose of giving an undee preference, arid ordered hint to be discharged forthwith. POLICE. MANSION 11017811.—•DA8NIN 0 SWINDLERS .A gentleman applied to the Lotto Malmo for a search-warrant for some very valuable race-horses, which bad been fraudaleutly ob tained a short time ago from a man of fortune in 1 ork. shire. The applicant stated that the fraud had been com mitted by a gang of dashing London swindlers, who laid their plans with great ingenuity. The stud of horses haviog been advertised, a man of highly respectable appearance drove from the Metropolis down to Yorkshire in a curt icle and pair, and looked at the stud. Then went down another character of the same description, and with the appearance of being a man of fortune. One of those gentlemen offered the sum demanded, 1,8001. for the horses, one of which bad been valued at 5001., and proposed his accept., incest° the owner. The references were of the party of swindlers, and the bills were taken, and the race horses delivered. It was soon, however, ascertained that the bills were not worth a farthing; that the drawer and acceptor had been at the time of committing the fraud insolvent debtors, in the rules of the Bench, from which it was believed they had been lately released under the Act, and that the curricle and apparatus had been hired fur the pug pose of carrying on the system of plunder, on which those swindlers—one of whom contracted debts to the enormous amount of 36,01101. lived. 'the swindlers of course kept out of the way; but the horses were, it was believed, n him) the jurisdiction of the Lord Mayor.---at least four of them were known to be st livery in the City ; and a search-war tent w..s the only u.eans the applicant could think of for recovering any part of so valuable a stud. The LORD AIAYOR, who bad been just before consulting with the City Solicitor, availed himself of that gentleman si assistance, expressing . his fear, at the same time, that a Magistrate could not interfere for the benefit of the lusty of the horses under such circumstances. The City Solicitor recommended a prosecution for the conspiracy, which had been certainly made between the parties to defraud the owner of the horses; but said the Lord 51iyor could not assist in punishing the sharpers. The LoaD Nelms regretted that proper inquiries had not been made into the characters of the persons who went to make so large a purchase—an oversight which was indeed rather peculiar in a gentleman from Yorkshire. The applicant said, his friend was a man of very large fortune, and completely imposed upon by the off hand and I I candid maonersof the two swindlers, whom any body might mistake for gentlemen of honour and opulence. He then asked the Lord Mayor whether he could seize the Wise* wherever he should see them ? The Loan Marva advised him if be saw the the horses in possession of either of the persons who had a hand in the bills, to seize them without ceremony; but said that if the horses had been purchase 1 front them, and weir in the possession of others, it would be very unsafe to take them away from that possession. and needless to dispute it. The applicant said he should follow this advice to the letter, and thanked his Lordship, who wished that the swindlers were under his power. Thomas Sibly, one of Messrs, Whitbread's draytnen, was charge , ' by Mr. Flint, of Fish street hill, with having wil fully-drives Lis dray against the small cart of a mats nettled Clements, overturning the cart, an i thereby e ndangering the life of Clements and his chili. Mr. F lir.t described th e- conduct of the draymau as .most barbareuf. As soon as the fellow saw the cart entangled in his wheel.be said. • Now I've got you," anticouly observed the cart overturn ed. Had not the father caught the child in his arms, death or broken limbs mast lave been the consequence. The repair of the cart cost 2/. The Loan Mason said, that lie witnessed every Jay of his life that the conduct of these drayisieu was of the most dararerous kind, that they , were regardless of the cobse (moon of ; heir curios &alas, sal tact, in tic', they laughed at the most perilous condition ia which they placed passengers. His Lordship then committed the drayman for trial at the sessions. OUILDHA LL•••••A PRETENDED COUNTRY CARRIER. —,1 fellow, who gave his name James Ilirterell, whose dress and general appearance corresponded very well with the character, he was enactino—natnely, that of the Willem more Hill carrier, was brought op yesterday before tie Sitting Magistrate, Mr. ALL elagnay, charged on stupid* with baying obtained goods from several tradesmen under fraudulent pretences. Mr. Udell, a tradesman at IVinchrster Hill, Edmonton; having discovered that goods bad been delivered by several tradesmen in London to a person in the garb of a carrier, in conseclitence of written orders pnrportiog to • come front him, thought it nece , sary to caution all the persons with whom he regularly dealt in London, in mire to pot them on their guard against similar impositions; and amongst others, Messrs. Theobald and Co, hosiery Skinner Street, Snow hill. The necessity for this cautioe was soon apparent, for Yesterday morning the prisoner rafted at Messrs. Tneoliald's, and presented a nute, per. potting to be from Mr. Udall. desiring them to sent; e l the bearer a dozen of full sized wln'e lambs' wool has , and a dozen of drab ditto, and thet he sitettld be in tare' on Monday, and settle fur them. This, or course, led to the detection of the prisoner, alio, after a hoed attempt t run otf, was secured and brought to this (:rice. its pt property had, in this instance, hen obt tined, no timbre proceedings could be hail upon this case ; but a Mr. Noble from the house of Messrs. D.weon and Newman, Fenchurce Street, attended, and produeed a tote of a similar do. scription, purporting to be siened by Mr. Udall, ev e which, goods to the anoont of 31. )Js. hail been obtained from their house, and upon comparison of the note brought to Messrs. Theob,lu's by the prisoner, and that produced by Mr. Noble, it was evident they were both the SM. band writing, and were both declared by Mr. Udall, oho was ;regent, nut to have been writ'en or authorised by him ; indeed, he had, he said, no knowledge whatever of the prisoner. In this latter case the vritience was inroa pletc, as Mr. Noble bad not himself delivered the goods to the pretended errand cart man, and could not, therefore. identify the prisoner as the person who received them. h order, therefore, to give time for the attendance of Via proper witness, as well as to afford opportunity to other tradesmen who had been defrauded in a similar way, te prefer their charges, if the person of the prisoeer shelf be identilied,he was remanded for further examinatitn ti I Monday next.
