This was .an action of trespass alpinist the defend •arts, as the messenger sad his assistant, tattler a coin mission of htnkrapt against one Joint Crowley, for tentering - the Queen's-Arms Tavern, St. James's Street, 'kept by Crowley, and alledged by the plaintiff to belong Aci her, and seizing the stock, furniture, eta effects itherein. The themages wereelaid at 5,0001. The defendants put in the record a justification. Mr. Flour opened the pleadings, and Mr. Sergeant 4GoeLta , addressed the Jury on the part of the plaiutiff. fft was tteted by Crowley, who was examined on the part of - the plaintiff. that he took the Queen's-Arms Tavern, in June, 181*, and that so shortly afterwards main the following December, he transferred his le terests in the premises and in the stock and furniture ito his sister:in-law, the plaintiff; in consideration of 2000 t., which was paid in Bank notes, and the rest by ;bills, and took a house at Paddington, to which he re auoved. He stated the stock of wines and seirits at glad time to be 11.001. and of ale and porter fin n 80 do 1001. On his cross examination, which he underwent with :Angular er.ontery, he stated that he came to Sr. James's Str‘et, Goodman's-fields, where his wife k's a circy 11- alng library ; that at that time he wa, • „-; afcrel .elutut, buying anyteing and all 1 fiat hip r, hotit•cs were in the satire haus° with tit. farcul J , • Irary, liar which house he paid 91. a year.

That he ..:ft St. James's Street, and took the small house at Paddington, to carry on the wine trade! He also acknowledge that he had for been a milliner anti fancy dress-maker, at Leeds , Where lie became a bankrupt, and had f. tierwards been an auctioneer. The aceount he gave of the considera tion motley, said to be puitl him by the plaintiff, was 'lutist prevaricating and incredible. The learned deltas: here said, that if the transfer were nut banafide the plaintiff's. possession was a fel- Ley. Several other witnesses were called on the part of the plaintiff, with an endeavour to show that the various forms of the transfer were attended to. An attempt was also made to set up the former commission, under which t:rowlcy had not obtained his certificate, but the prauf failing, the learned Judge told the Jury that the farmer commission had fallen to the ground, It came out from the plaitititi - s witnesses, in speak tag of the former enninisaion, that Crowley's brother was the petitioning creditor, and sole assignee, he claiming a debt of 1051. That he had poisessed himself property 11.411): , .riwr to the bankrupt Ceowley to the amount of 4001., ar.d that the crediters tv e that co mammon had never received one penny, no cacti had tee solicitor's bill been paid. /dr. Sergeant VAUGHAN, in animated speech of two Lours, addressed the Jury on the part of the defendants, stating this to be ore of the most fraudulent cases that ever came before any Court ; be commented with great force and severity upon the evidence produced on the part of the plaintiff, and particularly on that of Crow ley. He could not refrain from noticing, with sonic humour, that instead of a fancy dre-o-tuaker, Crowley should he culled a timer commission-maker, and said, that he was a pedal Proteth, having been successive de a milliner and fancy ores.-maker, an auctioneer, a 1 b-arian, merchant, dealing in every thing and shy thia a trivet fi-ke , per, arid a wine-merchant. After thew: eg the fraud of the pretended transfer from Lauwl.y to the plaintitl; or. Sergeant Vaughan told the Jury, he wietld ;4 6N e them the hest evidence, for he would lay lief:ire theca the evidence of the plaintiff herself. Up :n tl.is the proc,tedings under the pre cut conunir. Sion xs:re prodJced, and the examinations ot the plain tiff. on or 4 , beil.re the Commissioners, contained in Viem, were read. We cannot detail the examinations, ari ac..-o , int of their ;,eat length ; but we must say we never heard sut.h a t . ...sue of prevarication and is jury! We give a short exvact, as a specimen, where sue was askeit as to the c,')" )1. Whe t : i s did con ..,,tain the money which you said you paid for the purchase procured it from friends.

She stated on her oath, on being brought up front Newgate, in answer to a further inquiry as to where she got the money to pay Crowley, that she was recommended by a Mr. Davis to a 34r. Bomb, who lent her the money. But Barak was put into the witness's box, and said, that he never lent the plaintiffuny moncyotur ever saw her or knew her until he saw her in Newgate, !after her examinations. Davis was also produced, who denied that plaintiff had ever applied to him to borrow money, nor did he borrow money for her, and particularly that he never applied to Barth. On the part of the defendants, evidence was also p&nced to support the present eommistion, which was established to the satisfaction of the Court. Mr. Sergeant Curtsy replied. The learned Judge summed up the evidence in an able manner, stating that the case was pregnant with fraud. and that the examinations of the plaintiff were quite fearful. The Jury returned a verdict for the defendants, • NEW BOOKS Published by Meurs. Lovnan and Co. Paternoster Rom NiEiOIRS of the e()UIiT OF QUEEN F.T.I z.vnr.Tn. ny Lucy AMIS. In 2 vols. live.
