You have Icerepleined that you were enable to procure witnesses, from not getting the subpopras from the Crown- Oft . c'e ;bot upon a full examination of all the circum stances of the case, the Court hale opt been enabled ,-to find outaoy just cause of complAirst. When you t Isere first brought OP, you exerted the option yes , ',re Poolilled to of pleading eithrr guilty or not guilty,, y ik nd you thought At to plead guilty. When you were , brought up to melee the sentence of the Court, the e Attoroey.Genertl permitted you to withdraw that pies, because, as you stated (without soy affidavit) e yoe would be entitled to the consideration of the _Jpri as to your intent when you wrote that leiter ; .

When the trial came on, you made no com. plaint whatever spill after Lord Sidmouth was esa mined • sod thee for the first time, yen stated, that you had beets unable to procure your witnesses, as the Crown-Office had beets shut for the then three preceding days. Every one knows that at such a Hose it would be shut, and as you received notice of . your.trial Ist the last Tertn, you had plenty of time to , prepare yourself. " The Court having taken into its consideration all the facts of the case, cannot perceive your motive for having thus acted ; if you had any legal injury to 'complain of, the laws of the country would have given you a remedy ; and, thank Heavers ! we live ill a country where justice is equally and impartially std.ninistered to the high and the low.—For this of fence, thy Court doth order and adjudge that you :be imprisoned in hk Majesty's jail at Horsham, in : the County of &Wei, for the term of twelve Galen : dar months, and that at rise expiration of that period, you de find security for your good conduct, your. • bell' in the sum of 3001. and two sureties in the sum of 1501. each, and that you be further imprisoned until such securidell are made."

This was an action by the husband of Mrs. 'Glover, the Actresp, for salary doe to her for per forming at Drury-lane Theatre; and a writ of en. glary having been executed in*the Sheriffs' Court, the Jus'y found a verdict for the Plaintiff—damages one ' farthing—the original demand being 1001. Mr. Tasuolr now 'moved to set 'sited the inqeisi... ;Hon, oii thilground ore misdirection of the Under Sheriff in point of laws. It appeared that daring the Plaintiff's absencellll6'd, Mrs. Grover was in the 'habit of receiving - 14r salary from the Defendants,' ' which she'apPiled to the maintenance of herself and of her infariectilltlden. Since the return* of the former ; •to this countrY, he' had given notice to the Defend. : ants not to'pey'his sager salary to anybody but him. ; self ; and 'llotty disregarding this notice, he brought ' the present action. 'The Under Sheriff told the Jury :that it was foithem to consider e bether the husband's sitostion,was:ineb is to entitle him to receive his wife's sakti; they were to consider the rights of the, husband as well as those of the wife. If the wife was [iris% undetthe. protection Of the husband, the • -Defendanterooglit to pay him; bat if they lived se-, wisely, ind she maintained her Children, the law gave key a right to 'ostentation for herself and her children`;.-sod therefore she might be considered as . thcknehand'i nest to receive the salary. The Lebeed,Ceettiel 'contended, that this direction was terifaun4edio' point •of liw ; for, however hard it might ,asr, under the peculiar circumstances of the Case, i fietßtrictly speaking, the husbetteseas entitled* to the unqualified controol of his wifteletrnings.

Mr: BARRY ermarelobierel in behalf :of a•creditor named• Stephen Beetle, to whom adebt 0f%11 . 31. wail deafer the rent of a bow, and for hay and corn for e heroes. The ismaned Counsel grounded his ibjection to the Issaiimmeadiseharge on that clause of Cho Act ‘which reieses:aid. its any person who has ass. ratted debts iwithout.probsele means of paying , ..ble. Wombwell, in answer to questions from Mr. ilkOalr, stated, that in the month of •July, 1816, he had taken. house from Mr. Beetle, at a rent of 2001. ausses. He .thee kept up an .establishment, i having two men and one female servant, nod frequently more. He nasally had four horses, land at times a larger -number. His rank, when he 'kept up this establishmerit, Was that of a Lieutenant 4isthei Ist regiment of Life Geards ; the pay of that commission was about 7s. a day, deducting stop *pages. He would be 23 years of age nest July. Oa attaining 21 he inherited i property which was at. ready spent; it produced about 14,0001. and one. half went to liquidate debts before he was of age, and the remainder for those contracted since. li e hail lived sis mouths in the hoes* of the opposing creditor, and paid him 1001. for the rent of that pe. riod. After the last quarter he offered him 251. if he would take back the key, as he found the establish ment bad outgrown his means, but the man refused, sod persisted in holding him responsible for the whole year. The COUttT." Mr. Barry, your Client has made a bed election." The objection was overruled. Mr. Thomas Bernard, a creditor, stepped forward, and asked the Court whether he was nut entitled to oppose, as Mr. Wombwell told hint that his Agent, Mr. Biros, owed him 2001. out of 1,8001. fur which' his Commission sold, though now there was no such debt inserted in the schedule? Since this Geretlemen was in prison, he also occasionally drove out with AI same horse and gig he had before his arrest, and tili4 property was omitted among his effects. i Mr. Wombwell, in his esataitiation on Mr. Bert 1 nerd's objection, denied Navin; represented the Agen 1 to be his debtor in the manner mentioned, and stated that the horse and gig belonged to a dorse.dealer in Pimlico. He had paid this creditor over 2001. in the COWS* of his business. This objection was also over-ruled. A creditor, named John 'Prattle, now came for. ward to oppose, and stated, that Mr. Wombwell had hired &horse from him for two days, to go down to the place where the officers kept Nair hunters; that he had sent his servant shortly afterwards to ask whe ther the witness would sell the horse; he agreed to du so ' • Mr. W. however, newer came near him to conclude the purchase, but sold the horse. Mr. PoLcoca, fer the Insolvent, hete called the attention of the Court to the written notice of oppo sition pet in by Mr. Trattle, which ran thus— " that he (Mr.. W.) had hired the horse, and after warda agreeivi4 to purchase it," bad disposed of it in such and much a manner. The Coo We acted upon the written document, and over-ruled the objection. Mr. Womb well was accordingly dissharged. LEE AND caucus a. BARRETT. Robert Barrett, a very aged man, was opposed by Messrs. Lee, Carmichael, and Co. brazil manufac turers, at Kidderminster, for a debt of 2,7001. end odd, being the amount of goody of theirs, for which the lnsolvent, as their agent, had made no return. Mr. PoLLOCK, for the opposing creditors. stated, that Mr. Barrett was their servant, or agent, in a warenriase they had in London, and bad converted to his own we this property. Q.—•• You owe Messrs. Lee and Co. between 2 and 3,0001: ? The Insolvent—" No, I do not ; they have taken away all the books, and I cannot make up the ac enema. If I could, it would appear that they owe me 9,6005." _ _ Mr. IIEATH, on the part of the Insolvent, pot in the original agreement between him and the opposing creditors, the substance of which was, that he should, as their salesman in London, have a commission of 21 per cent. on all the goods he could sell among his own connections,and that he should pay five per cent. on all losses or bad debts. Now, the Learned Counsel said, the opposing creditors wanted to make him appear it mere--mweatet, though he had always a discretionary power in the course of a trade where large losses had occurred, for which it was now sought to hold him responsible, and to remand him to prison for ten years, under the clause of a breach of trast between servant and master. If it were merely foi the five years remand, the unfortunate Insolvent tarseld : have no occasion to Brion his case before the 'Cyan, for he was already in actual custody since Au gust, 1813! The Learned Counsel added, that so far from the Insobreut's being (lie servant of the opposing creditors, they. used ideally to draw bilk upon him in his awn name, to the amount of nearly 10,0001. and desired him to sell at any price to raise the money for their accommodation. - The COURT, after reviewing the arguments on both sides, decided, that the 34th section of the Act Could not be extended so as to apply to the Insolvent as a servant defrauding his waster.—(le was, there fore, discharged.
