This was an indictment against Geo-ge Jackson, the younger, George Jackson, the elder, and Henry Jarvis, for a conspiracy to sue out • fraudulent Commission of Bankruptcy against the said George Jackson, the younger, with a viewlo defraud Fox, the pro iteentor, of a just debt, which he bad recovered from the bankrupt. . This case has been already often before the public in various legal proceeding within the last five years. It has been the subject of two actions—a formerindict ment for perjury against th same parties, but abandoned, • however, by the same prosecntor—a bill in Chancery now undecided, a former trial for conspiracy in which there was a verdict against the defendant!; hat in con sequence of important evidence discovered by the de fendaote subsequently to that verdict, the Court on mo tion granted a new trial, which came on this day, and occupied the Court from its opening until four o'clock. Me. SCARLETT addressed the Jury. The Learned Counsel, after explaining the law of conspiracy, and showing how far it applied to the present case, proceed ed to the facts which were shortly these. Fox, the pro secutor, kept a medical establishment in Bishopsgate street, which he was desirous to dispose of. Having made his intentions known to an agent, he was by him introdneWd to young Jackson. one of the defendants, who seemed disposed to become a purchaser. It was first agreed that Jackson was to give a certain sum for bait the business, but Fox subsequently gave up 'all to him, and received as security, • bond to guarantee the payment of the remaining purchase money. After some time the badness berm, to fall off, and Jackson's friends were led to think that too much bad been given for the f~ooood will of this concern. When the bond. therefore, beta e due, there was a great disinclination to satisfy it, and Fox was obliged to put it into suit. A judgment was entered up, and execution issued, which upon • certain day, was pat into young Jackson's house. A COOSlCiefiell of Bankrupt, however, was sued out *Out imbue. coder which his fat her, who lived in the country, proved for 20001., and Jervis, his father-in law, for a very considerable sum also. This was the Commission which it was uid was fraudulently obtained, 'as it was alleged that the elder Jackson claimed a much larger sem than was actuallydne to him, in order to de fraud Fox. Upon the former trial, which took place la this Comet, the defendants were fund guilty upon this charge of conspiracy, but the Court granted a new t-ial, upon the statement of the defendant's Counsel, that they had since that trial procured better means of estahlishing•the elder Jecksozi s debt. It was under these circumstances the present indictment was pre ferred. The judgment recovered by Fox against Jackson, was read is evidence, as well as the execution of fi. .14. and the seizure under it by the Sheriff's officer. The articles of partnership between the parties, and deed of assignment of good will of the pennises were read. Mr. Fox, the prosecutor, was then examined at great length. He stated in detail all the circumstances of his cennectioo with the defendants. His evidence was di rected to prove a concerted plan between the defendants in ening out this commission. On cross-examination, he admitted that he had said he would hare legal revenge ofJackson. The next material witness was Mr. Fairborn the at torney, who bad conducted the proceedings in Jack son's bankruptcy. The commission was dated Jaly 4, lnl7. Jackson, the father, proved debts to the amount of 2,0441. The instructions fur the affidavit were in Jarvis's hand writing. The whole amount of debts proved was 3,6051. Jackson the elder and Jarvis were the assignees. The bankrupt was opposed in his final examination by Counsel, but Fox did not petition the Lord Chancellor either against the allowance of his as signees or of his certificate. Edwin Chadwick, clerk to the last witness, said he was employed by the defendants to go about to the cteditors of Jackson, anti promise them the payment of their debts, if they signed Jackson's certificate. (in cross-examination, the witness admitted that lie had received from time to time, 1201. from Fox. tie lad been punished by this Court for altering a bail bond, and condemned to fourteen days imprisonment.— Ile bad presented a petition to the Jung upon this sub ject, laying before his Majesty his poverty, and praying to be released. Se lof Jackson's creditors more that they bad been promised payment of their debts by the last wit tier+, if they signed the certificate. The SOLICI7OII-011:46RAL, for the defendants, ad demised the Jury.commenting upon the improbability of this charge against them, front their known good cha racters. He adverted to the threats of revenge held cut by Fos. and observed that the present prosecution was quite in character with that vindictive spi•it which pad kept legal proceedings hanging over the heals of these 'unfortunate men since the year 1811., He con tended that Chadwick was.utaworthy of credit, and that the prosecutioa one 'tam' or fall with him. It was no crime lot a °umber of creditors to concert a Coinmiesion of Bankruptcy against a peryon in trade, if any one ereoitur put an execntioe upon his property, which wo uld swe ep it all away, and so defeat the other rte. Oitors of their claims. In this case the execution of Fox would rover all the property, to the prelndice of the other creditors. There was no doubt et Jackson being a proper person to he made a bankrupt, and the only questioa therefore was, whether ur not his father was a creditor capable of striking the docket against biro. if the claim which be advanced was unfounded, the prosecutor might hare canvassed it before the Com inisnonerspf Bankrapt, or subsequently petitioned the Lord ChatioeflOragainet the allowance of the assignees, sod that would have brotight the cue fairly to an issue •In this Conrt. If truth or justice only were his objecte, the present criminal proceedings ma.; the worst courss I -~ • - vl.l t which could' be Mitch 'to aleettattl isdiethai the hither was a bona fide creditor of the son or not. The debt was allowed by the Commissioners of gankrupt, and waa not petitioned against by the prosecutor, and there was, therefore, a presumption that it was not unfounded. The Learned Counsel then went on to argue upon the probability of the loans of money from father to sett, which made up this debt of ?NO/. The father bad • large family and a moderate income, whilst the son had a property of his own; and it was therefore reasonable that he should charge him with the sums which be ad vanced to him. The son was at great expense whilst lie was in London attending hospitals, and had incurred other expenses. All these, as he bad a property of his own, it was reasonable his father should charge him with. The Learned Counsel concluded by advert ing to the respectable characters of the defendants, and trusted that these. together with the strong circum stances in their favour, and the avowed hostility of Fox, wouldsvindicate them from the foul charges of conspi racy and perjury which were now preferred against them. The CHM, JUSTICg sommed up the whole of the evi dence to the Jury, leaving it entirely to them to say. whether they were of opinion that the sums advanced, or said to be advanced, by the father to the son, were bona fide loans, or made oat solely for the pnrpose of defrauding the prosecotor of theiclaim which he bad by law established against the bankrupt. The Jury, without any hesitation, found the defend. ants—Not Guilty. THEATRICAL CONTRACT—BEDIFORP T- BUNN. Mr. Marryat stated that this was an action brought by Miss Green (now Mrs. Bedford) against .Ir. Bunn, the Manager of the Birmingham Theatre, for the reco very of a sum of 371. which was due to her out of the amount of an engagement secured to her by Mr. Bunn Site was to perform for 30 nights at Birmingham, and to receive 101. a week, and a benefit secured to produce 501. The benefit, very unfortunately, produced only thirteen pounds, and for the balance this action was brought. Mrs. Green, the mother of the actress, proved the contract on the part of Mr. Bann to give her daughter a benefit, which was secured to produce at least 501. and which only prbduced 131. In her cross•examination, she admitted that her daugh ter was taken ill at Birmingham, and in consequence her benefit was postponed, and that which was substi tuted for it was unproductive. Mr. Scarlett, for the Defendant, said, be was prepar ed to prove that Mr. bishop, not Miss Green, was the real plaintiff in the cause ; and he assigned as the rea-, son for the reduced amount of Miss Green's benefit, thei circumstance of her indisposition, for which it would lie. unreasonable the manager should suffer, in addition to what he had already suffered by her inability to sing on some of the other evenings during her engage ment. A letter from Mr. Bedford, the husband of Miss Green, to Mr.,Bann was read, in aid& Mr. Bedford said his wife had no concern in the present action, and that it was altogether Mr. Bishop's, through whom Miss Green had been engaged at Birmingham. The writer also warmly congratulated Mr. Bunn on the &access of his famous " Tom and Jerry." Mrs. Ingram (formerly Miss Fisher) said she was en gaged at Birmingham io the season of 1521. She re. membered Miss Green's engagement at the same Thea tre, and her illness during the g part of that pe riod, so as to be unable to sing, except with great pain. She could not play for 1 nights. and apologies• were made for her being unable to perform thrmigh ill ness. When Miss Green's benefit was &snowed on the last night of her performance, aed en immense house was expected, to me Guy Mannering, but her illegal caused the postpoietweet of the play, ate. Waslefk In the Glen was substituted for it, and theri was, owing to the disappointment. a selectable house.. Witness was to have played Meg Weenies on the night of the poet ponement. Mrs. Wa3 lett said, that she was also engaged at ,the Birmingham theatre when Miss Green came there, and remembered that lady's indisposition, and consequent inability to perform un some particular occasion. Richard Collier, proprietor at the Birmingham Thea tre, anal occasionally performer, proved Miss Green's ill ness, so as to be unable to admit her performance ea specific nights. Apologies werej often made for her. and he remembered a Farce being changed to Fortone'ePro lie, as she could not sing.. At 2 o'clock on the darof her benefit, she had it changed, owing to her illness, cad the house was a poor one. The house would hold two hundred pounds. Mr. Bellamy, an Apothecary at Birmingham, proved the fact of Miss Green's indisposition, which had pre vented her from singing at her benefit ; could she have performed at that time, she expected a very full attend ance. She was also unable to sing on the night when her subsequent benefit took place. The Lord Chief JUSTICE summed tin the evideoce to he Jury, who returned a verdict fur the Plaintiff for Ling seven pounds. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, IVIIDNDSDAT, Dec. 11. • (Sitting* its itmtlutc) FROST e. ISINGOUGH. This was an action to recover the amount of a bill of exchange for 301 given by the defendant in 1816. The defendant is a member of the dramatic corps of one of the winter theatres. The defence to the action was the statute of limitations, by which the plaintiff's claim was barred (more than six gears having,elapsed since the defendant had admit ted.the debt). The plaintiff How brought a letter tii 4 him from the de• fendant4n 1817, in which he stated, that if he succeeded in Liverpool, he shook] see him soon after in Bristol, and that at all events he would arrange with him as well as he could. The defendant's hand-writing to the bill was also proved. Mr. Sergeant Vaunnax, for the defendant, contended that the evidence was not sufficient to take the case out of the statute of limitations, and therefore the plaintiff could not recover. The Jury thought the letter produced referred to the hill, and returned a verdict for the plaintiff for the amount of the bill and the interest. mtpot,EsEx SESSIONS, WCDNXSDAY. tart RieT AT HAMPSTEI D.—This day, Hod:kis, Crean. Burton, and Hough, the four persons who had been tried the preceding day for conspiring together to carry away the materials of the Old W bite Hart public house, and acquitted on that charge, were tried for the riot rod assault. It appeared, however, that the parties who had come to prevent jinni from taking away the property, and who were the prosecutors, had first at. tacked them, and, therefore, in point of law, committed the tint assault.. They were, therefore, acquitted. 1V,,,. Edward Hall, a decent looking young man, was indicted for idealistica quarter of a yard of kerseyuiere, the pro_perty of hie employer. hir..41.1,0,,f0r. the prosecation, said it was lament• able that a Person of the prlionerl appearance should stand in his situation, charged with a scandalous offeace. lie stated the particulars of the case, which be called wituesses.to prove. ---; Harris said he lived at No. 222, in the Strand, , and is a tailor. The prisoner lead lived with him as formalise); be was employed to cut out a pair of pants. Moos front a piece of kerseymere in his possession, con. 'listing of eight or ten yards. 'When lie wee going away at nigh • witness asked hint what became of a piece that - Wgl !NEE 1•1111rMI al.". • was left ; the prisoner desired witness to go to another winks/tan for it. Witness replied that the prisoner had been robbipg kits' for months, and he must not go away gain he was searched. On that the prisoner palled nut the piece from his pocket, and said, " here it is.'"f he valve of the piece was 18.9 d. On cross mienination hr Mr. AnAntm, the witness said that. 'hiring his absence for three weeks, when lie went to Paris, he had entrusted the prisoner with the management of his business, and that the prisoner lived with him near a twelvetuotith ; he had said to any one that the prisoner was going to be married, and in tended to set up in business in opposition to witness. The prisoner did not say that the bit of cloth had been intended by him for the waistband of the pantaloons, which lie had forgot to give to the workman. Aiad who was apprentice to Harris, gave a similar statement with that of his toaster. Mr. ARASIN, on behalf of the prisoner, call:3 a wit ness named Eld.•joarneyman tailor, who said be re ceived the pantaloons from the prisoner to make them up ; and there was a deficiency of cloth to complete the waistband. He went to Harris to tell him of this, and Harris said the prisoner was Ening to him aids a piece of cloth to make up the deficiency. Witness never male up the perskons ; they were taken from him. Mr. Atte! afterwards called a tailor, who said the prisoner had confessed to him that he took the cloth es his pemisite. Several respectable persons goer the prisoner an es• cellent character for honesty. Anions: these wore the person in whose house lie lodged, and a mister tailor who had employed him before be cause into the prosecu tor's service. The CHAIRMAN said, it was lamentable that a deceit young man like the prisoner, 'lmola risk his character for so trumpery a thing as this, and he thought Mr. Harris might as well have forebore this prosecution ; bat at the same time be thought the prosecutor had a right to bring the prisoner there if be chose. If the jury had any doubt oldie prisoner's inteutisen to steal, his character must weigh wi h them. The jury found the prisoner not guilty. The I.:teammate; expressed his sattsfasion at the vet , diet, hot at the same time wished the prisoner and all other tailor's servants to understand, that they hail no right to take away any pieces or bits of cloth, tinder a lotion that they were perquisites. The law held such an act to be a felony l CHARGE OP SWINDLIXO.—Peter lipsal was indicted flif a fraud, in oletaining goods under false pretence.. Mr. AWAY stated the case to the Jail. He said the defendant was charred with a gross and scandalous ' fraud upon his client, who win a respectable hatter in Helboro. After mentioning the I facts intended to be given in evidence, he said this man had been In thehatit of practising his fr.nds upon several other per under a pretence of being a wan of rank and fortune. W. Blissett said, be was a hatter residing near Mid dle-row, in Holborn; that there was an estate, which he advertised in a Morning Paper to be sold for Will. He understood the prisoner was a lawyer, and that be had been struck oaf the Roll The prisoner called at his house to purchase the estate ; he came a second time in a very stylists carriage, and ordered four hats to be seat to his house, which lie never paid for. Cbgrles liitham, shopman to Mr. Blissett, sail, that, in Mout last the prisoner came and made an offer of Lift for the estate which had been advertised; he thee proposed to buy two hat., he made choice of a is bite and black one, and witness sent the two hats with posi tive directions-to the person be sent, not to leave them e without the money ; they were brought back ; the next day the prisoner drew up to the slime in Holborn in an elegant carriage, with coachuses and footman, and de- Itsow the reason why the hats had Wilms- Vi7VAtoess was deceived by this appearance, awl promised to send them. The prisosev then said be wanted two mere for his servants. The four hats were dm takes to the prisoner's house at the west end of the town, and no money had since been paid. F This was the case os tibit part of the prosecution. The Camases said, that in a moral point of view he was as guilty of fraud as any swindler could be; but In point of law be could not be convicted, because the flee pretence was not proved. It was lamentable that the law could not reach a fellow of his description. Verdict— Not Gritty. The prisoner held a bundle of papers In his hand, and presented himself to the Court and Jury with unusual etonilence. But Mr. [Bissell said he was then quite disgeised from what he had been at the time be visited his shop. POLICE, M VCSION-ROUSC—A man named Dunmore was/ brought before the Lord Mayor, yesterday, on a charge of having become improperly possessed of a 501, two 10!., and two St notes, the property of Mr. Ashmore, of ; Catler-street, who had lost them either by accident or I I a thief.

It was then traced to the prisoner. who said he had found it with two SI. notes, and fl piece of w A woman named Bates, who presented the Mit note, stated that she bad advised the prisoner to look for a reward in the papers, and told ham he would no doubt get it. He did so, but finding no notice of the loss, she advised him to get rid of the money gradually in an honest way. He accordingly took some things out of pawn, sod having thee disposed of the two W. notes, he began to think of the best way of getting rid of the 501. note. The Lord Mayor said he had been eery badly advised by Mrs. Bates, and remanded him fur further examina tion.—His Lordship oh d, that the guilt of appro priating money under such circumstances,was little short of that of robbery.
