Onildhall, When the of tensive ateonists of the firm were finally investigated, and a commission of two years and eight months' standing was brought to its leapt-protracted close. • Mr. Senior Commissionee Taxiszca.—lt would seem that we are at length arrived settle termination of our arduous labours ; it is now for mb to examine' Whether we (the commissioners) hate done our dfity; Whether the assignees have done ' their diity. and the lianketims theirs; as to our conduct; I.sbalisay but little; f i or myself, I can truly state that I have never given greater attention to any matter than to this estate, nal trier have 1 ever bestowed more paini in any investigation' than in that of this bankruptcy : we bare - heard all that has been advoacted on either side with impartiality, and bare sought only to do justiceto allparties. The secodd question is, whether the assignees here' dons their duty: I do not think that assignees should rite be limited lit'the examination which they ought to make, still' less do t conceive that the assi gimes of th is Concert have done so; as far as I can judge. they have faithfully discharged their duty to the creditors whom they bare represented.— Lastly, have the bankrupts done their ditty ? And such is the nature, such basil/en the extent and importance of thepresent commission, that I think they bays a rightie claim at our beads judicial opinion of their cohdatt, as , it has come before us. I shall say but little &bad Mr. Howard, for almost the whole matter has devidied' in all its unpleasant ramifieations upon Mr. Gibbs, led I think it my bounden duty to that gentletnaii to state, that having now sat as azoninussioner , for nearly 20 years, here never met with any bankrupt more rftily to comply with the requests of his creditors than Mr. Oasts uudelr all the circumstances of the case, I am able to form bat one opinion as a judgment on the ease, and that is, thee the bankrupts are fully entitled to t h is bein g then :thud. examination. Mr. Commissioner &CATON and Mr. COMMilliioooe SMITII spoke to the same effect. The necessary and usual papers were then signed by the•bankrupts and commissioners, and thus terminated an investigation into en estate that has excited the most considerable interest anamag all classes throughout the country that has existed ler' mazy . yeas.

The case was partly' argued . hy Its. Canis id. fir the plaintiff; and Mr. B. Lewes roe the suit, and thelintber hearing was poitpoied until : ant paper day. ' CRIMINAL INFORMATION. Mr. ScARLKTT moved for a Rule to shew came why i Criminal Information should not be filed against i Lieutenant in the Royal Marines, aimed Tane, for lei alleged atrocious libel against James Carter, Esq..* MaJ gistrate, of Portsmouth. It was stated from the allsha• vi.s by the Learned Coonsel,th at Mr.Tnne bad biena sae. vieted of a certain misdemeanour, at the Borough sions, and sentenced to be imprisoned for six months' the Borough Gaol. Mr. C arter and Mr. Hunt; the Jae s t al the 'gaol, had been active in triaging Ur. Taws justice. At the same Session a person named Rawlini, had been convicted of another misdemeanour, and WW I tenced to three months confinement . is the um prison. Whilst in gaol. Rawlins became the see- vent of Mr. Tune. OD the 9th of March, Rawlins's term of imprisonment expired. Shortly after Rawlins's re lease, a letter was found in a lane near Mr. Carter's house, purporting to be addressed to Rawlins, cot. taming an imputation on Ur. Carter's character of the most abominable description. It was alleged that the letter was drop by design in the spot in question. by some agent of Mr. Tone. There was ao direct proof that the handwriting wag Tene's.but on seething his desk and person in the gaol, there were papers found urn him evi dently *hewing his privity to *hi letter, winch 'was ill spelt, and manifestly written in a disguised hand. Under these circumstances the Court were called twos to require AI r. Tane to purge himself of the imputed guilt. The Cover were at first disposed to grant the rule. bat on reflectbon,cossidering that 'lane could sat by law be compelled to criminate himself, the better war was to leave it to MT. Carter to his remedy by indictment, which would have the effect of reaching the justice of the case. On this principle only the Rule was refused. APRIL 24. KINO. V. Joule FARRIRR. On the motion of the Solicitor-Genenlohe defendant, who is the master of a merchant vessel, was sentenced to three months imprisonment in the Marshaher, for having refuted to bring home from Genoa two seamen. whom he bad engaged in England. for the voyage out and back.

The case was tried before the Lord Chief Justice! at the Middlesex .

All the prisoners, except the first six, pleaded in Eng lish, which language they appeared tolerably well ae qoainted with. The captain of the smuggler, Cornelius Kejmus, is a good looking man, and pleaded Not Oullty, with great firmness. The facts have been so recently detailed at length 1* Tea STATIMMAN,Aat his unnecessary to repeat thew' When the case for the prosecution was closed, the pri goners, on being called upon for their defence, said they would leave it to their counsel; with the exception of Repass and A. Molinaar, who handed in written paper". Before these were read, however, Dr. LUSIUNTON rose to offer objections in point of law to the present proceeding. The learned Doctor con tended, in the first place, that the Badger bad no right whatever to search the vessel in question , and that the attack made by the former was illegal, and not anti o risett by any existing statute. The grand principle of the law of nations (the learned Doctor contiaued), as laid down by the Noble Lord (Stowell) now on the bench, was mutuality ; and if the right of search exercised in the present instance were to be allowed and sanctioned by the authority of their Lordships, there was not a single British vessel upon the ocean which would not be "abject to similar visitations by the vessels of war of every other independent State. Dr. Loshington pro ceeded to cite various authorities in support of his posi tion, and was about to enter upon a new pow, when Mr. Justice PARK said, he begged pardon for inter rupting the learned Doctor, bat it might be the most con venient course to inform him, that it was the intention of the Court to reserve these points for time consideration of the twelve J edges ; and the learned Doctor would then, of coarse, have an opportunity of repeating the able ar-1 guments which be bad now advanced. The learned Judge added, that he considered the case as one of the very last importance, aed deserving of the most grave deliberation. Mr: Baoccumw then informed theit Lordships that he had'Upwards of 20 witnesses to call, and it was Impossi ble to say at what time the trial would conclude. The Judges consulted, and Mr. Justice Pau informed the Jury of the intimation of Mr. Broughams, observing that the trial would, in all probability, last until four or five o'clock in the morbing, if they proceeded with it, and perhaps they would thick it better, exhausted as they Oast all necessarily be, to adjourn until the next morning. He must, however, inform them, that' he weld not permit them to separate until the trial was finished. They must be conducted to some coffee-bee*, under the care of an officer, for the night. The Foreman of the Jury, on behalf of himself and fellows, offered some objections, but finally acceded to the proposition, and the Court adjourned until 10 o'clock tomnorrow (this day.) The Jury were conducted to the London ColYee-house, under the care of an officer of the Court, who wss sworn to watch and 'keep them from all communication with other persons. On Thursday morning Edward Hales, under 10 years of age, who was convicted at the late Surrey Assizes for a rape, underwent the awful sentence of the law at liorsemooger-lane Gaol. The unfortunate youth was ordered for execution on Monday ; but in consequence of a communication, from Mr. Hayfield, of Guy's Hospital. ' to Mr. Baron Graham, a reprieve was granted till Wed- " nesday, when it was exten ded to Frida y ; but subs.- ' quently the order was countermanded, and most unex pectedly the warrant was received from the Secretary of State for his execution, it appearing there were no cir cumstances of a mitigating nature. The miserable boy wa s attended by the Rev. Mr. Mane from bis cell to the roof of the prison. When arrived at the scaffold, he said to the executioner, " Be quick, let me die as fast as you can." Every thing being ready, soon after eight o'clock the drop felt, and b e su ff erer was launched Into eternity.
