Tim cause to be brought before t Court baring *ached a great deal of interest, the II was extremely crowded. 'the . following issue the tees., in which Thomas Stewart, of Glasgow 10.1d, is •Pursuer, and Thomas Allen, hanker, is ",dinburgh, and Alexander Wkiri, of Wrest, are Defenders, was submitted to the Jory t. Whether a paragraph inserted rot pie Sillth of 1817, in a certain Newspaper, publisbed nJ eisculaterlin the city of Glasgow, air elsewhere, Yelled the Belfast News-letter, of which ffie'De tenders are the proprietors, and which parseitiph is hereunto annexed, and particularly set forth had ieferred to iu the summons, is of and concerning the "Pursuer; and whether the description of Mr. S. and Mi. S. of Glasgow, in said paragraph, was. meant .ud understood to apply to the Pursuer, and_whether the said paragraph was or is injurious to the character, credit, or reputation of said Pursuer." The damages were laid at 30001. Mr. Jerressr opened the case for the Pursuer, lad , said that he appeared' - for the purpose of obtaining reparatiorret the hands of theory for the grievous injury inflicted en the feelings and reindation of . Mr. 'Stever!. The paregyaph which contained the , libel wartim:led fidget* Fraud, in capitals. It stated that .6 singular discovery had lately been made. in 'Glasgow. That a servant of a Mr. S. of that city bathos heard that a relation had died in Indio. and left him a cdgsiderable fortune, he applied to his toaster to assiet him in recovering the money. After a long delay, his master Informed him, that his ex ertions had been_ fruitless, and that there seemed to be no truth in the report. The libel then went on to state, that the servant had lately ascertained that the money left hid been. paid over to Mr. S.- 46 Proper steps," the libel adds, " were then taken to briug the matter to account, but we are sorry to add, that our report states there is little probability of much of the money being recovered, as he had given a considerable dowry to a daughter, and lived expensively. The necessary steps of law are, however, in progress." Mr. Jeffrey dwelt strongly en the injury which such a statement (acknowledge Soho false and unfounded) was calculated to do to the character of a merchant. He theft went over the history of the case. The present publication was not the first form in which the calumny had ap peared.. An appplication bad been made to the Ma gistrates for at exhibition of Mr. Stewart's papers ; but on the investigation taking place, the absurd al legation fell completely to the ground. The character of a dealer, Mr. Jeffrey observed, was like that of a woman ; to circulate a libel of the description which was contained in the Belfast Netts-letter, in the coffee-room, and among the merchants of Glas gow, who hate much connection with Belfast, was like throwing a firebrand into a pile of combustible mater. The day in which the Paper arrived in Glasgow it was so much read and thumbed, that it was reduced to m tinder, and was more read in one day than a pious old women's Bible is at the end of her life time. The libel originated with a person 'whose name is concealed, and the Defroder evaded firing him up, and therefore they, from choice alone, were Defenders its the present action. The libel was evidently of Glasgow or!gin. They refused to give up the manuscript ; and at first they refused the ju risdiction of the Court of Session, but finally they withdrew this objection, and submitted to the cogni sance of the Scottish Court. Allan, the banker, in Edinburgh, •and M'Kay, the printer, wre only nominally the Defenders. There is, no doubt, a person behind them, and that person is, no doubt, able to stand the issue of the present action ; and that he will most willingly pay any sum rather then have his time mined as the author of this atrecioos libel. Under these circumstances he confidently ex pected the Jury to award the whole amount of the damages asked • for the respectable Proprietors of t h e Belfast Nesz;letier are standing the brunt of a wealthy person. An eatract from the process lettere the Magistrates of Glasgow,• and the absolvitor sentence its favour of Mr. Stewart, was pat in and read ; as was also a letter from the Solicitors ot Mr. Stewart (Messrs. King and Campbell), calling on the Defenders for the statue of the author of the libel. The publication in the Belfast Newspaper was ad mitted. Several witnesses were called to prove the arrival, ill Glasgow, of the Belfast News-letter, containing the paragraph about Mr. Stewart, and the interest with which it was read. Mr. B. Carrick, a partner in the Ship Bank, 'where Mr. Stewart discounted bills, had beard the report. On silting the report in the Newspaper, the witness told Mr. Stewart that he considered it a stroke against his credit, advised him to take steps to clear his character, and in the mean time to lessen .111ccasaueercial.tratisactietts. After this Mr. Stewart dir. net do so muck busbies, with We Bank es before. Some persons who had placed money in Mr. Stewart's hand, proved that they bad ()mended it in cause querns of the story, which had made a great impres sion throughout the country. Mr. MONCRIEFV, for the Defenders, stated, that Mr. Allan, at the time the paragraph was published,. was abroad with his wife, whose health rendered. travelling necessary, and who .died in Italy. it had been said that the Defenders had refused to give op author of the paragraph ; but the fact was, that a , person of the name of Kilbee had firnishetithe iu. formation ; and the Pursuer was told so. This. piece of news had been inserted by Mr. liti‘Kay io tlerrou. sine of business, without his even knowing who was alluded to ender the initial S. From the paragraph itself no sue could know to whom it alluded. It wea l only from extrinsic information of the. process that any person could know to whom it referred. .Wlrtes the name of the author was 'VOW forily return of post, Mr. M'Kay repressed his regret,. end states that it was inserted in the hurry of business fie sat stated, that in the very first publication, the first op.. portunity in his power, he had published a • peiete4. contradiction of the paragreph. Thisemple refs's": Lion be published without betas solicited to do so, and, this contradiction said that she Vaasgrapit was fain and groundless. Severe' witnesses ware celled by tbd Defenders, to prove the previous ezistence d the• ripest in Gies. gow, before the publication in the Newsaitter; . and that report lad been received 4 gie. -WK.*, from Mr. Kilbee in the street of Belfast. Mr. Cocknette replied for the Pursuers. 4 • C .

BATSMAN v. SRO& 'The Plaintiff in this case was a widow woman, and owner of a house, the occupier of which had become considerably in arrear for rent. She in consequence directed the Defendant, who is a broker, to make a distress on the premises for a quarter's rent, amount ing to 111. 18s. 3d., free of all deductions. The Defendant proceeded accordingly to make the levy, and having done so, be waited on the Plaintiff, and tendered her 81. 125., and receipts for lAnd Tee and Sewers' Rate paid by the tenant, for 31. 41. 3d. mak ing together the amount of the quarter's rent. Mrs. Bateman refused to receive this sum, and insisted on the Defendant paying her the full sum which he had, been instructed to levy, and the Defendant refusing to do so, she brought the present action. Eight pounds twelve shillings bad beep paid Into Court by the De fendant. Mr. AGAR, for the Defendant, contended that his Client had conducted himself in a perfectly legal way; he was bound to allow the tenant the amount of tases paid by him. The Act of Parliament provided that they should, in the firm instance, be paid by the tenant, and afterwards be deducted frees the rent. The Learned Judge; on the Act of Parliament being produced, held that such was the law, unless there was a specific agreement to the contrary, which there did not appear to be in the present case. The Plaintiff not proving any such specific agreement was Nonsuited. GREENWOOD MITCHEY. This was an action to recover I 11. money said to be doe from the Defendant to the Plaintiff for two chaises. 'lite demand of the Plaintiff was proved. The de fenue set up was, that the debt had been Paid by a bill given by the Defendant, which bill had never been presented. On the part of the Plaintiff a wit ness was celled, who proved tlaat he had loar4be fttitf in question. fie was in the service of theVlaintlff, and had been employed byhis master lobate thebill to he discounted, when he had the misfortune to lose The lull was dated the 25th of April, at one meat,' after date After the bill became due, namely. onl the 24th of June, the Defendant was waited on, and a demand made of the amount of the bill. At tMs time the Ptaintiff offered a bond of indemnity to the Defendant against any future demand on the bal.— The Defendant, however, said, he would not pay unless the bill was produced. It further appeared that after the acceptance of the bill by the Defendant the date was altered from the 26th to the 25th of April. On a subsequent application to the Defend.. ant, he said he would pay the bill on having gond and sufficient indemnity ; but he would not take the Plaintiff's indemnity. The Plaintiff now contendeti that the alterationin the date had so far vitiated the bill, that nn future demand could be made against tbnDe. fendant ' ion it Ant op.. .• On the part of the Defendant, it was stated, that the alteration in the date of the bill did not atall affect the Defendant's liability, inasmuch as it was made with the coulee tof both parties; and further, that he hid offered to pay the bill if he had gond and suffi cient indemnity : but that be would not accept the Plaintiff's alone. After a summing op from the Judge, who o delivered his opinion, that the bill, notwithstanding the alters•, lion, which was made with the knowledge of belle: the parties, was good, and further, that the Defend: ant's liability would continue for six years ; fouod'it verdict for the Defendant. !NEJMOUS CONDUCT or 4 WA TCHMA .......dem..-- MARLOOR9CGII-rtfttltT.—On Friday. font Gentlemen Irene bron.lit in this'affice..charged by Bonney. a watchman in tas.

Bovt.sitets.r.—Yeatertlay the investigation was iesumed before RICHARD Biome, F. , q. respecting :the filling op tke.seatler'a tickets, with the counter signing ot.tbe meter,'s news to them, to insure the haser's receiving the sort of coals the . vender's , iicket purported they were. The question eucited ( C onsiderable interest Itmeng the coal trade and the meters. Mr. Minim, again attended to support the in formations preferred. against Mr. George Alder, a coal-merchant. The Learned Gentleman addressed the Magistrate at some length, in answer to the in sinuations that had been thrown out on Tuesd.4y spinet Mr. Bradfield, the informer, that the motives that actuated him in bringing forward the charges wets of a personal nature, whereas he stated him to ph Most respectable coal-merchant, and that he stood upon public ground, and for the goblic good. The first information called on out of the seven unheard was, for the delivery of 38 sacks of coals at the house of Lady Eliza Smith, in Piccadilly Ter , : race, on the 1 25th day of August fast, without the vender's tir \et being properly signed. On the information being read, Mr. Hnenitterez took an objection as to the form of it, as it stated 6 ' vender's tickets." whereas in the Act of Parlia ment there was no soch word as tickets, it being in the Act in the singular number, without the letter s. and be contended, that if they set out any part of the Act of Parliament, they were bound to set it out correctly, es weethe case in prosecutions for for gery, where the variation of a letter was fatal. The MAGISTRATE admitted, that in cases of for gery the statement of Mr. Humphreys was correct. Mr. ANDREWS, in answer, contended, that the whole of the objection was groundless, and that it was not necessary to recite any part of the Act of Parliament and that all that was necessary to say was. that it was contrary to the Statute. The MAGISTRATE over-ruled the objection, and the charge proceeded. After the examination of several witnesses, who, substantiated the charge, the Magistrate observed he was sorry the penalty fell upon the vender, and not the meter. The MAGISTRATE enquired if all the informations were to be proceeded upon? Mr. Ilusieneus said he had offered to plead guilty to all then, or pay 151. and 10s. each on the other cases; then there would be something for costs, as it was in the Bank of England ease. Mr. Annezws said he - would agree to this. if Mr. Humphreys would abandon his appeal to the first conviction, which he agreed to.—Mr. Bradfield said, he should give his share of the conviction to the Royal Fever Hospital and the Humane Society; he added, he was determined to uprise the meters. POLICE. .;.? iL SWARMS OF BEGGARS IN FLEF,T.MARKET. GUILDHALL.—In obedience to the order of Alder. man Goodbehere, the City Officer brought up a nom 'ber of vagrants who had assembled in the night wade, the thimbles of Fleat.market, and appeared so for. nvidable to the respectable inhabitaots. Most of them said they had no other place to go to, and ?ere passed to their perishes, ,after having received sit ad. _monition from the Sitting MAGltattAig (Mr. 3. Smith), who' made a declaration of much- imports*, to the Public, in the course of his comments upon the duties of constables and watchmen. " I know nothing," said be, "of the appointment of con• stables for any particular district. Those who are chosen by us are chosen as constables of the City of Loudon, in every part of which it is their duty to act ; and if they should refuse when called upon, they are liable to the consegisences of an information. It is also supposed by the watchmen that they are justified in refusing to lease their beat upon any emergency. This is also a most gross mistake. It certainly is not the business of those persons to run about the city, but they must extend their uqual ser• vices when necessity requites. I was stopp'ed by a fellow in Chespside, one night 'boot six weeks ago; a watchman was walking on the opposite iiirle'of the way, and he refused to come to my assistance be.. cause I was not upon his beat. My summoning him, before the Lord Mayor produced a reptim. lid to him, farther than which I did not wish to press it; but I shall pay the utmost attention to any complaint of a similar kind." The Alderman received a letter from many of the respectable inhabitants of the ward, complaining that their property was not protected by the watch. He referred the complaint to Alderman Waithman, who belongs to the ward, stating that be was con vinced that active Magistrate would correct the evil, and declaring that all the fault lay in the ward itself. With regard to the multitudes of prostitutes; of whom the letter also complained, what could the ward el. pc! wit.' houses es Mack florse.alky was siiirinid with were allowed? A beadle of one of •the parishes declared, that if, the watchmen In his parish were half murdered, thus* in the neat would not come to their relief. ManLIIOROUGH-STREET.--Yeaterday,a person who described himself to he a medical student, was charg ed by Mr. Roebottom, proprietor of the White Bear, Piccadilly . , on suspicion of stealing linen end other articles.—Mr. Roebottom stated, that the Prisoner occatlonally had a bed there, and it had frequently happened that Gentlemen had lost their property ; and suspicious circumstances induced the landlord to detain the Priboner, on Thursday night. A Gen tleman who lodged in an apartment adjoining to that wfiere the Prisoner slept, saw him on the stairs, o n Wednesday morning, with a new pair of shoes eon. celled under his coat, which 'had been stolen from I another Gentleman's room, and a razor. This wit. ness had also lost some articles of linen from his drawer , . The PriSonei said, that he lodged over the water, but he had an objection to state where ; however, on the Magiattate's aiming that he should detain him, he'salil that he was already in custody, and that he was a ruler 'of the King's Mooch, which was the over the Itiierr readout:a.: The Prisoner was remanded. ny Oaf returns on the books of the Margate Har bour Coletstif, it appears that 30,000 perscalarre paid tior •Pier butits . tbis season; r • 4 _ At eitht in Hie Committee-1 ef Cordelia Weir lives WednetdaWilliam trol of St. nestlity morm, him from the tawthe smoke bow open the dour.
