Graatorex, bankrupts, late calico printers of Manchester, to recover from the defendant,a Manchester Warehouseman of London, certain alleged overcharges for commission, &c. on the sae . of goods transmitted front Nlinchester, for the account of the bankrupt. before hsnkrnptcy. The case having been opened by Mr. SCA/MITT (with wham wets Mr. 81101:0UAM and Mr. CUITTO, ‘ witnesses were called to prose the plaintiff's title, as assignee : and there appearing to be considerable doubt as to the validity of the Commission, although no notice bad been given to dispate it, it was agreed at the snggeetion of the Lotto elilsr JUSTICE, to refer the (*serials to arbitration, whereby the somplex disputes between the parties were more likely to be satisfactorily adj..sted. A verdict was entered for the plaintiff—Dartages Five Thonsand Pounds, subject to the award of Mr. D. F. Jones. NrCitoLSoN C. BTAUSON. This was an action by the plaintiffs, who are bankers at 'Leeds. to recover SNiOl. ; the amount of a proshiesery note lodged with them in 1819, as security for their avances to Messrs. Field, Royston, and Field,l.who have since be . same. bankrupts. The defence to this action teas, that Mr. Manson had, in May. 1822, specially endorsed a bill of Messrs. Piel.l and Co. to the plaintiffs, in lies of his former note. Such a Lill, so endorsed, was proposed ; bat Mr. Field, one of the bankrupts, swore that it was indorsed at his reqnest, and not inreat of the note. Oo the other band, Mr. John Mattson, a nephew of the defendant, stated that be carried a letter from his uncle to the bankers. On the day when the bill was endorsed. warning them that they were to regard it as redeeming his former liability on the note. The plaintiffs ,fienied that they ever received such letter, and tressed the evidence of this witness as wholly false. The Loan Cuter dinettes i►ft the question and fact for the lore, who found r verdict for the defendant. At three o'rlock, an indictment for perjury. "The King v. Williams," was called on for trial. bat *as postponed at • the request of the counsel on both sides, as it was likely to occupy several hours. The Lonn . Junto:, finding a difficulty in filling np the time with other (-mutes in which parties were ready, espresstd %strong spinion against taking cases out of their order, and intiMa'ed to the bar that he was not hound to rise at any costerarry At last a common jury cattle, of no public interest, was taken, and occupied :lte Court till near six o'clock. OLD BA I LEY.—Wtos Eliza Mills, Caroline IFittiams, Edward Haynes, and • Sarah Collins. were put to the bar on an indictment, charging Mills and Williams with stealing from the • person of Georee Abel a par e and nine sovereigns, and Haynes and Collins with receiving and harbouring thew, knowing these to have committed the felony. It appeared that the prosecutor, though a married man, accompanied two women of the town to one of the most infamous haunts of vice in the purlieus of Drury Lane, where he was robbed of the property in question. These was nothing in the case to warrant a report of tile disensting detail it exhibited. The prisoners Mills. Williams, and Edward Haynes, were found thrifty, and Collins acqiiitted. SELLING BASF. COIN. Is Win. Nash and Ann his wife, alias Ann Smith, spinster, were indieted for selling. ham coin. Jane Bertram, a. woman residing in White.Lioo Street, Seven Dials, stated that Avis, an officer of Bow Street, Whom she bad known some time, applied to Iser to discover .same sellers of base cue. lu consequence of this appli .cation witness accompanied a woman, named Fidler, to William Street, Spa Fields. She received half-a-crown from Avis, who marked it before he gave it to witness. On the 11th she went alone to the. hoose at Spa Fields. where the prisoners lived. She tapped at the window, and the frisoner William Nash came to the door, Witness saw the female prisoner sitting rubbing half crowns with a •cork. • (in her right hand side there was some white stuff lying, and on her left a sort of liquid. She asked witness bow many she wanted.. Witness said three ; upon which Abe other polled out four half crowns; the male prisoner was in the room the whole time. The female prisoner gave witness three half crowns, for which she paid 1e..6d. As the witnesss was, going out, the officers entered, and took. the counterfeit money from her. Witness then pointed• oot the female prisoner as the person she had' received it from. Avis, the officer corroborated - the evidence of the last witness, and stated that he had found on the premises thirty-three half crown' coloured , twenty un coloured, and ko a drawer apart from the rest, five shillings and a six pence, which he thought were also bail. Taunton, another officer, gave evidence to the same effect. The Deputy Solicitor to the Mint proved the coin found Ilt the residence of the prisoners to be counterfeit. The II ecnerna stated to the Jury, that the female pri soner must be acquitted on this indictment, as she was de signated in it as the' wife of the scale prisoner; and as the latter was present at the time, the law presumed that she was acting. under his controul. The Jury without hesitation found the male prisoner Cluiity, and acquittedthe female, on the ground of the legal informality in the indictment. The Recommit told the prisoner Nash, that if ever again be was brought to the bar for the sane offence, it would certainly cod him his life, as he would not be allowed the benefit of clergy a second tiler. The female prisoner was then put to the hie, on anather Indictment, charging her with. having sold base money to the .same woman. on a certain Jay, :viten it appeared the Male prisoner was not lament. The facts of the case were clearly proved, and the pri est:ter found Guilty. The [tacos's:ma gave her the same admonition as lie had Victuals) prisoner, telling her that if she was ever again brought up fbr the same offence, she smut be prepared to suffer death. - Michael Sullivan was indicted for stealing several cruets, glasses, Fze. , , the property of his master, and Geo. Wooer for receiving the same, knowing them to he stolen. Mr. Attest stated the case on the pat of the prosecu tion. He said the prieoner Sullivan was a boy who was in the habit of stealing articles of glass to a -considerable amount from his theater; and he should prove that they had been received by the other prisoner, Mover, who kept one. of those.ensportucus of stolen property,cetled a marine mord-ahmti • Nalliantel Solomon - 44d be was a glass-cntter in Chit.

Aftet Sullivan went away in the evening, witness went into the warehouse, and massed. six cruets. "Moir this he went with officers to Glover's shop, and law those six, as well as several other cruets, which he 411e* to be his property. The witness is of the Jewish 'persuasion. A police-nicer said, thatin consequence of directions he bad received from the prosecutor, he watched the boy Sul• r liven on the evening of the 9th of October, going out of 'Ms master's house; be lost sight of him near Glover's bones, and did not see him till the next morning, about S o'clock, when he was going from Solomon's house. William Read, a police officer of Hatton-garden, said he searched the shop of Glover, on Monday the 12th, and there found a qnantity of glass. The shop was in Mutton.hill. The glasses were exposed to sale in the window, with a variety of other glass. Solomon being again called, swore to the articles taken from the prisoner's shop being his property. He knew the articles from the size; they %ere made by a great manufac turer at Birmingham. Glover, on being called on for his defence, handed io a written paper, in which he declared that he never had any dealings with Sullivan; that be had been in the habit of buying glass from several persons ; that glass-blowers in London and other places manufactured articles exactly like those which the prosecutor then produced in Court ; and that, as he had openly exposed for sale all the glass in his possession, lie could not be snpposed to have received any of the articles knowing them to be stolen. Several persons gave the prisoner a good character fur honesty. The COMMON SERGEANT gemmed up the evidence. The Jury, after deliberating for a short time, found both the prisoners Guilty. Mr. Attar said there was another indictment, for a similar offence, against Sullivan, hut be should not proceed en ie The boy had borne a good character fur sou.e years, and there was little doubt of his having been induced by the other prisoner to commit the thefts of which he was convicted. Win. 'Forster was tried for embezzling the sum of 51. le. ed., the property of Tbos. Evans. Mr. C. PHILLIPS stated the case on the part of the prose cution. He said the prosecutor was a respectable inn keeper at Ealing, with whom the prisoner lived, in the capacity of a post boy, and on whose account he received the sum in question, and converted it to his own use. Mr. Evans said he bad authorised the prisoner to receive the sum in question from a Mr. Caruthers. He never came back with the money ; and witness did not see him fur about 13 months after. Mr. Caruthers produced Mr. Evans's receipt for the money, which was paiel to somebody, but he could not say to whom. The COMMON SERGEANT here observed that there was no proof of the prisoner having received the money. He was therefore acquitted. Joe. Hastings was convicted of stealing from Elizabeth Mortimer. a common woman, with whom he went home to peel the bight, a purse and some money. •On account of the good character given of the prisoner. and an offer naule to give him employment, he was tined one shilling and discharged. • MaNsioN llocsg.--Yesterday a Gentleman nante•l Brooke, summoned the proprietor and porter of an Inn, for an overcharge made on the carriage of a parcel sent from Pakenham, Norfolk, the charge entered in the trifi.:r books being 31. tel., and that marked in the ticket deli vered by the porter to Mr. Brooks as., including 101. porterage. The desk who attended fur the proerietor, stated in his defence, that a ticket had been given to the porter with the correct charge. but that he bad lost it. fie porter admitted this, and said that be made out a new ticket, essing the charge as neatly as possible. 'Phe Loan Macon thought it a gross imposition on the public, and fined both the proprietor and porter in the penalty of 401. each; for the Act positively directed, that a ticket, written by the book-keeper of the office should be delivered with the parcels and in case the porter delivered a parcel without such a ticket, he was liable to the above tine. He regretted not having the rates of carriage from the county of Norfolk; for which great blame was attached to the Clerk of the Peace who was bound by an Act of Parliament to forward a return to the Lord Mayor of such rates, when fixed by the Quarter Sessions. The subject merited the attention of Members of Parliament, and more particularly of the Member for the County of Norfolk, and he hoped the matter would be made public, as it was of general interest. BOW-STRILIAT.MTSTERIOVS Occuatteece.--•Yeaterday Ruthven, one of the principal officers, brought two persons in his custody on suspicion of being concerned in a murder. supposed to have been committed on Friday last, at, Aldenhaen, near Watford, Herts. Their names are Thur. , tell and Hunt. The former , it is sai d, is t h e son of a I gentleman, formerly of Norwich, and the other lately kept the Army and Navy Coffee-house, St. Martin's-lane. The murder is supposed to have taken place in consequence of the report of a pistol bring heard, which was immediately followed by the groans of a person apparently in great pain; and on the following morning a quantity of blood was discovered on the spat, and also a pistol, with time muzzle choked up with a substance like brains ; a hand kerchief and a knife were found at a short distance, and a gap had been forcibly made in the hedge through which it appeared the body had been dragged, as blood and brains were found on part of the bushes. A strict search was made for the bode, but without effect, and the place where it is secreted still remains undiscovered, although thirty persons are employed in different directions making search, for it. Information was transmittal to Bow-street, and Itutliven was dispatched to make enquiries, when lie succeeded in gaiuing such information as induced him to apprehend the two Prisoners, which Le did yeverday morning at their lodgings, in King-stret t, Holden Square; a coat, much stained with blood, was found in their possession, and also a pistol, which is supposed to be the fellow to the one found in the fields. ltuthven immedi- ately set off with them in a chaise to Watford. where they will undergo an examination by the Magistrates on the spot. The Governors of Greenwich Hospital, it seems, have determined to form a gallery of pictures of the repr , senta• tions of all the sea battles in which the English have been engaged, from the earliest times. These are nottn be new paintings, but authentic pictures executed at the iliffereut periods, or as soon as possible after the respective actions took place. ft is said that among other celtinated pictures, that of the Death of Nelson, by West, will be there. The visits of the public (for the gallery will be open. as the ball and chapel now are) will undouhiedly, before lung, repay the Hospital their expense in collecting. HATTON OARDIIN.—Mr. Franks, of Chariton Crescent, Islington, appeared to asm tins obtained by the driver of the hackney coach Nu. 733, fur refusing to pay one a filling back fare (rani the Angel hill, at Islington, to the nearest edaell stand on the pavement, it being 7 o'clock in the even ing before he was engaged. . The defendant stated, that he took them:melt from Smith• field to the Angel at Islington, and paid Did. as his fare ; but I.e certainly did not consider himself liable to the back fare claimed, as there is a coach stand within 30 yards of where lit was set do'vn, and the distance from Smith field to the Angel being very little, if any thing, more than a niile. The Magistrates differed entirely from the coachman in his construction of the law, declaring, that in fixing , back fares, the nearest coach stand was ineint by the legislatitre, and mot the neatest stand-on the pavement. The summons wits therefore 4isulissed with costs • MARLISOROUCiI States!.-des.. Trrtoa,a pauper io Si• James's Workhouse, was charged with indecently exposine his person to two children.—Mary Smith, a child, shout 13 years of age . stated, that on Friday last, between four and hoe o'clock in the evening, the prisoner sallal to her from a window in the above worklionse, and indecently exposed himself, which witness distinctly described. She called to another girl, about 14 years of age, of the name of Amelia Leven, and pointed out to her what prisoner was doing Amelia Leven was prodneed and corroborated this evidence. —Mr. Harwood, the master of the workhouse, explained the Situation of the window in relation to the yard where the children was standing.—The prisoner was ceded on for his defence, and made no satisfactory reply.—Mr. Dyer .then said, Ina very emphatic manner, " James Turton, you have been convicted by the clearest evidence of a crime of 'Odell I know not how to speak in adequate terms. It is unnatural, unmanly, unchristian, and, I will add, un-English. I ',sweet to say, that from the many instances of such cases, l tear a total change of national manners has taken place your conduct was to make those poor children the unwilling victims to your base and unnatural passion ; your crime is a misdemeanour at common law, for which I might send yoU to trial at the Sessions, bat 1 have a power vested in me by the Vagrant Act, which, notwithstanding all that has been said about that Act, I will fearlessly exercise, by sending you to the Houseof Correction for two months, and I am glad to see around me several respectable Gentlemen from the press, who will give a correct ant faithful account of what has occurred this day; so that should you, or any friends of yours, set forth to the public a false cr-parie statement, ashes before been done, they will find themselves disappointed." MARYLCISONC Orrice.—Yesterday Wm. Adams was brought up charged with asssolting John Walker, a watehnsan, whilst in the ezecation of his duty, on Manday night last. It appears, that that part of the New Road near the Yorkshire Stingo is rendered totally imaassable, and has long been a most intolerable nuisance to the foot passen' gets, and the inhabitants in the immediate neighbourhood, by the numerous fellows called cads, and other persons connected with the Pad lin:mon stages that ply every it Elf hoer in the day for passengers, by their mischievous and insolent conduct, so that the persons on foot are invariably obliged to turn into the road, in order t I avoid being in sulted by the fraternity, and at all limits of the night the peaceable inhabitant' of Cninherlentl Place, anti the houses contiguous, are continually being annoyed by the discord• ant sounds of the horns, which are unnecessarily used, as if they were determined to disturb the neighliourhood.— The watchmen had all received strict orders, whenever they discovered any of the fellows creating such unnecessa ry disturbances, to take them into custody, which was con sidered the most efficient means of abolishing the nuisance. It teas in the execution of this injunction that the present complaint had arisen. 01 Monday night last, between 9 and 10 o'clock, a parcel of boys belonging to the stages hail assembled opposite the Yorkshire Stingo : each of them had a horn, and by their blowing created the most intolerable discordant noise ever heard. The watchman, on whose beat they stood, desired them to desist, on peril of being lodged in the watchlionse. They disreaardeil his threats, awl continued the noise. ll' wis then about to take the worst of them into custody, when the defendant, (a proprietor of one of the stages), who was in his gig, first abused him by designating him by all manner of opprobri ous names, and to prevent him taking the boys to the watt-1111mile, attempted to drive over him. Viritoess was obliged. to relinquish taking the fellows in charge, and his life was placed in the most imminent (huger, as the defena. ant drove his horse on to the footpath, and it was at it incredible difficulty he preserved himself from being tiene pled tinter the horse's feet. The watchman concluded his statement, by calling for the protection of the magistrates, I otherwise such was the conduct of the coachmen on I the road, that it would be impossible for him to perform his duty. . The Magistrates said they would do all they could to ossist In suppressing the nuisances that are well known to exist in the road, occasioned by the ill conduct of the Pad dington coachmen ; and unless Mr. Adams could disprove the charge against him, they would hold him to bail to answer the charge at the sessions. Mr. Adams merely denied the charge, and he was held to bail forthwith. LAMBUTII STREET. A Lagos° VIOLATION.—The Churchwardens anil overseereof the parish of St. Luke, ac companied by a Solicitor, attended yesterday at this Office, for the purpose of instituting proceedings against a man named Williams, by trade a smith, reoi ling in Globe Lane, Mile End, for alleged misconduct.—lt seems that the ac cused had seven girls apprentices, to learn the tambour work of his 'wife, who followed that business ; four of them were bound from the parish of St. Giles's, and the other three from St. Isnke's ; one of the latter, named Elizabeth Bowen, now 13 years old was bound in 1531, and had only served six weeks of her apprenticeship. wizen the accused assaulted her, and violated her person, and although on this occasion her serciams for assistance were heard by the charwo'nan, named Browne, no person came to her assistance. The wretch did net desist here, for by holding out threats to his victim, he was enabled to repeat his guilty purpose as often as he could find opportunity. His base conduct remained enveloped in tuysteryy, until about a week ago, when the child, assuming courage, ab sconded, and took shelter with a relation, to whom she revealed what had passed, and that friend made the case known to the parish officers, who instantly took her under their own protection. The girl was very minutely and c irefully examined by the Magistrate; she seemed sensible of the injury she had sustained, and gave her evidence in a simple and colietent manner.—The wife of the accused was examined at the request of the complaining party ; she said, that having sonic suspicious that her husband's con duct was not altogether correct towards the apprentices, she questioned Elizabeth Bowen on the subject, and the girl merely told her that her master was in the habit of taking improper liberties with her; she accused her husband of the conduct complained of, but be denied it to the extent stated, mud the consequence Was ilia they nitimately parted. She requested that the apprentices might be all turned over to herself, as she intended to live separate from her husband for the future ; but this the parish officers refused to do, and wished the Magistrate forthwith to cancel the . intlen• tures. Mr. WYATT was of opinion there were sufficient grounds to warrant their doing so ; hut as this was only an ex parte statement, they should desist from it until the man ap peared before them on the charge now alleged against him ; he might he either proceeded against for the felony or misdemeanour; het, in his opinion, the better way to act would be, first to summon him to show cause why the in dentures should not b 3 cancelled, and then the parish might proceed against him in whatever manner they tient& proper. The parish officers acquiesced in the opinion of the Magistra e, and intimated that they would purish Wiiiiams with the utmost rigour of the law. QUEEN Soca ite.—Tun VAGIIAN r ACT.—A considerable portion of the time of olr. WHITE, the Magistrate vii 11119 Office; has recently been very meritorioasly occupied in the investigation of a charge made by a Bow-street patrol, rained • Jeremiah James Cewlay, against a twin named Dwelt Williams, which leas finally led to the establishment of the innocence of the accused, anal his discharge from prison, by order of the Secretary cf State, who obtained his .Majesty's pardon. The facts of the case are tit- se tile early part of last week, Jeremiah James Condy, who belonged to Nixon's party of Bow-street patrol, wl o are stationed in that part of Westioiestet, brought a sailor to this office, 'and charged hint midi on act of vagrancy in begging at the stoop of a baker in York-street, Westminster. The sailor douied that be had ever. begged at all, hut ads witted that he was inebriated when taken into custody-by the officer ; the Magistrate giving .credit to the op, , b a Candy, whose Only motive in making this false accusation could have been, the trifling sum of ss. on conviction of the offender and the poor sailor was committed for one month to prison, to he kept to hard labour. In conwquenee of the accut•ed persisting in his innocence of the fact alleged, and some circumstances being stated to the police tending to establirli the troth of the unfortunate man's assertion, an _ . inquiry was Instituted, and the falsehood of the charge was manifested to the Magistrate. The baker, in York-street, declared that the sailor did not beg at all, and Nixor., the conductor of patrol, and an assistant,confirmed his statement, which was further corroborated by ts.e evidence of Gilmour, the chief constable of this office. - Mr. White, on obtaining tie above depositions, laid them before the Secretary of State on Standey morning. Owen Williams was set at liberty fom his co alinement in Tothill-fields Prison. Condy, patrol, h se absconded. WORSHIP-STREET:4Ir. Ooldsmitl, of Dulwich Hill; Mr. Lucas, of Finsbury Square; Mr. Cohen, of Woburn Place; and Mr. Salomons, of 31 mei Street, tioodanan's having waited on Mr. BEVILL, it was directed that the poor woman whose distress has excited so nand) beneve. P • lence, and also her lausb trial, Joseph Simons, should be recrested to appear before them. l'hey appeared accordingly, and were informed that out of the subscriptions so generously sent to Mr. BkVILL, amounting to 721. Its. and those which were raised by the other ceneem-n, amounting to 7.5/..it was provided that part of it should be expended in purchasing a stock in trade and other necessaries, and that tie balance sham'd be paid into the Savings Bank, in the names of trustees, allowing Simons 101. per annum until the whole, with in. wrest, should he expended, with power for the trustees to make farther allowance if they should think proper. It was also agreed that the eldest son should be bound out as an apprentice. Simms and his wife said, they hied received contrilm tions at home, end wished to add Clean to this fund, an 1 Simons immedittely dent house and bronght 20 sovereigns, which will he applied in the same manner. Mr. Goldsmid, Mr, Lucas, and Mr. Bevil,. took upon themselves the office of trustees; and Mr. Cohen and Mr. Salomon, humanely undertook to procure Simons a stuck in trade and other necessariev, and the clerk was directed to pay 1001. into the Savings Bank in Bishopsgate Street.

The defendant here gave to the M agistrate a letter of cha. teeter from Mr. Woodthorp.—Tha Magistrate said, he had no doubt as to his character, there were many men in thin city worth from 100,0001. to 209,000/. who were nut quali. fled men to kill game, and it was very hard they shonid not •have a bare or partridge in their larder; but that if it met the eye of an informer, they should he liable to a pe %tatty of live. pounds for every head.

A CAUTION.—.—Every day we hear of some robe fiery laming been committed by the patties taking. advantage of the darkness of the night. Yesterday evening, about eight o'clock, as toe 31argate wail met on its joirney to this City, some person ascended the roof of the coach, unobserved by the coachman, stud cut a Liege tenni( front the st ap, the property of Mr. t;illow, of Saint Nicholas, with which lie got iTetf nadiseorered.

Tree Jury returned a verdict of Accidental Death. Elayter and his wife had lived most happily together. IiAIIDENED ItoGues.—At the Manchester Sessions, on Saturday last, Saumel Shore, David Hughes, and John Grattan, were tried for stealing a pocket-book anal its MI. tents (oue Bank of England note far one pound, and three promissory notes), the property of 'Donnas Moss. The two former were found guilty, and Grethen was acqeitted. Previously to pausing sentence, the Chairman, as is usual, asked what was known to the previous habits of the men , when he was told by Itattye (one of the headles), that Shore had already been transoorted, that both men were of notoriously bail characters, and that the brother of Ilughei had recently been hanged. Sentence of transportation for life was then passed on them; and immediately Hughes struck Bettye a severe blow on the face, which felled hint to the tlaor ; another Beadle came to the assistance of Bettye, and Shore joined in the outrage, both prisoners striking and kicking him in the must brutal manner. The Court instantly became a scene of uproar anal coda: sion, some women who were in the dock, as prisoners, shrieked out, and it was with diffieulty that the villains were secured, in (Wino. which Mr. Lavender came in for a severe wound on his shin. The men were taken from the bar and put into heavy irons. The Court then proceeded to consult as to the proper mode of treating the culprits. 'flue sentence of the law had been already passed, an 1 could not be altered ; but on referring to tee Act for thee regula tion of prisons, it was f 0911,1 that, at the discretiou of this Magistrates, prisoners guilty of outrage in prisons se li z et h e whipped. They were, therefore, again put ti the bar, and evidence of their conduct being regularly gone into, they were ordered to be taken and severely Clogged instanter. This was done in the front o f a ll th e prisoners of the ward to which they belonged. Shore was the first upon whom the cat-o'-nine tails was applied. 111 :ailed out for mercy during the whole time of the operation; hut Hugle s, though Ire internally anoartad. was more hardened, he uttered no shriek. When he de scended the steps, at the top of which he laal been •hippreh lie jumped down the two last, and said he care I not le what lie had done.
