COURT OF ZINO'S BENCH, 114iviDAY, Juss 4. BOROUGH OF FOWEV. AlT,OlaraT-OzwswaL moved for a rule to show cause bat/ • cavaioad information should not isms against certain gentle.

The improper conduct imputed ! bankekportiee was, that they had conspired together to get persons I %AMU in the rare, who, in point of - fact, were not rateable, for foe marrow of giving them a colourable right to rote, which was expected when the reported speedy dissolution of Parliament was by many recently so stroppily urged ; for this purpose the parties sigaiost whom be applied bad from time to time made three false rate., allof which had been from time to time refused to be eon- Mooed at the Sessions. The votes of those persons who were.in. *laded in these had rates would, of course, have been rejected on a petition to the House of Commons, but the Court waisaware that mesh a remedy was a very expensive one, and many palace would I.444±aced not to resort to it.

RORIE/ V. TAYLOR. • This mina was tried here a short time since, and was an action Of slander, its which the Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff, with 401.-damages, for the defendant having slandered the character of sheitkinedf, by stating that be was an un fi t person to execute the • business of painting St. Margaret's church. Mr. Cultwoon now moved for leave to enter a nonsuit, the ver dict being not sufficiently founded by the evidence. The Corer refused the rule. _AXE LINO T. COPE, IX A CAUSE OP DOE V. Lomas. orbit Was an application to strike the defendant. Mr. henry GOO, an attorney, residing in Wilson-street, Gray's Inn-road. off thevolle of the Court, for alleged misconduct in hie character of an ••sheoriey . hoppeared from the affidavit, that Mr. Cope. who was attorney fee the plaintiff in the action, attended before one of the Judges pursuant to a summons taken out by the attorney on the other side 1W that purpose, to show cause why the trial of the cause should Mahe poitponed. On that occasion he pretended to exhibit true Medea of certain letters written to him by the defendant's attorney, osWifning proposals for an amicable arrangement of the ease ; but which copies, it afterwards appeared, were anything but true, Wog some garbled extracts. and In many respects grows misrepre eentidions of the originals. This rule had been referred to the Mas ter, who now reported, that when before him, Mr. Cope boldly ;entitled his conduct, contending that he had a perfect right to set tit in his copies just so much, or so little, of the original letters, as he (bond convenient. •The Coral said the rule for striking Mr. Core off the rolls Wiest be made absolute. He had been guilty of an attempt to prat tle' a geese deceit upon one of the Learned Judges; and also to inflict great „injustice mum one of the suitors of the Court. Such *oloas must fie put down fot the protection of the public ; and Mt Cope having had such misconduct clearly brought home to twas to Irrono• la fit person to act as an attornev. he rule. therefore, for striking Mr. Cope off the rolls, was made absolute. CRIMINAL INFORMATION. Mr. BROUGHAM moved for a rule to show cause why a criminal information should not be filed against Jose Piriero de Cavallio, for certain alleged libels upon the Marquis Palmetto', the Portuguese Ambassador. The alleged libels were rublished in a Portuguese periodical work, of extensive circulation in this country, and im puted to the Marquis that he had corruptly appropriated to himself *third portion of a SUM of 85,0001., being the produce of the, booty captured from the French, by the British and Portuguese armies, Under the command of the Duke of Wellington and Marshal Berks.-- find. at the battle of Vittoria, during the last (tontine tal war, and stemmed as prize-money due to the gallant soldiers engaged in that F sro ratable battle. The a ffi davits stated, that in consequence of an . rot between the late Lord Castlereogh, on the part of his &onic Majesty. and Marquis Palniella, on the part of the Por tuguese Government, a sum of 85,01101. was deposited by him in the hands of Mr. Hill, the Clerk of the Treasury, and by him Mllin the Bank of England, for the purpose of being distri in rateable proportions amongst the British and Portuguese aimien engaged in the battle of Vittoria. In consequence of some difficulties in obtaining the proper receipts from the Portuguese Authorities, the money had never been distributed, and now, in fact, remained in the hands of the Governor and Directors of the Bank of England, for the intended purposes. Notwithstanding tht+, the person against whom this application was made had pub kabed an address in the work in question to the soldiery of Portu- • vieJ, In which, after a good deal of coarse ribaldry, he, in direct mews, imputed to the Portuguese Ambassador, and to the Marquis &SUM. the preceding Ambassador from Portugal, and their col. leagues in the Portuguese Ministry, that they had committed a public robbery by appropriating to themselves the money now re maing in the Bank of England. The Learned Counsel stated on behalf of the Noble Marquis, that although he came from a coun ts, where there was nor the same freedom of discuseion allowed as If thig. yet he was anxious to be understood that he did not wish tosbank from the most public discussion of his character and con fide:, end did not wash to avail himself of any advantage which his situation in this country might be supposed to give him. After ng the attention of the Court to the terms to which the Maw* libelled. be COURT granted a rule to show cause. ARTICLES OF THE PEACE. Mr. Gußwrrr, on the behalf of Hannah Disney, exhibited Sr. tistes of the peace against her husband, John Disney, of St. Mar tin's-in-the-fields, Middlesex. They set forth brutal treatment on Miamian of her husband. • The COURT ordered the articles to be put on the files of the Court, and granted an attachment against the said John Disney. TUE RING P. JOSIAII TAYLOR. Then had been two indictments against this defendant for keep. tag a common gaming-house--one preferred at the instance of a per. WV named Smith, and the ether at the instance of one Bowler. The defendant had filed a plea of aNtrrfais ocqa:t to each indictment. Ijl a former term the validity of the plea to the first indictment had been argued, and the rule for taking it off the roll was made abso /air : add the other indictment. at the instance of Bowler, was ordered to wand over until the first indictment was disposed of. "Bile defendant, it will be recollected, was sentenced upon that in dictment. Since then, Smith and Rowley. and Mr. Hollingbury, listarattorney in both prosecutions, had been convicted of a conspiracy ast the prosecution of Mr. Taylor. to obtain money from him b means of these indictments. The rule for taking off the roll Tailor's plea otos:re/cis acquit to Bowley's indictment, now came so for argument. Mr. BRonenice, for the defendant, contended that inasmuch as Bowler's indictment comprehended the same period as that al leged in Smith's indictment, the offtnce was virtually the same in botb.and the Court ought not to make this rule absolute, especial. ly All both prosecutors had tnemselvee been since convicted of a CA/. t l acy to obtain money of the defendant, by means of these same e tildictinents ; at all events, if the rule was made absolute, it ought iliebe without costs. 111 r. ell rrry, contra, insisted that the plea of lontrefar acquit. being completely false, the rule must be made absolute. With re spect to the question of cons, the Court ought to consider this case in the same way as if it had been argued before the recent con fic tion of Smith, Rowley, and Hollingbury: for that conviction ought Dot to weigh with them, when in point of strict right, costa ought t• be given against the defendant. for pleading a sham plea. The Costar. adverting to the fact, that both indictments had re lation to the same period of time, end that Mr. Hollingbury was the attorney for Smith and Boieley, the prosecutors, the rule ought so Pe made absolute, each party paying his own costs. Rule absolute, without costs. BUSINESS OF TILE COURT. The Count announced, that they would take the peremptory and London and :Middlesex new trial paper, on Turniiay and Weitr.e-day respectively, instead of the Special and Crown Papers as usual. .....,........... COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Sartritaar, Jung 4. The Court rose at one o'clock, when the Chief Justice presided at Nisi Putts. ASSAULT. ruts nor Lawn compact'. (AN INFANT) !WINO ST HER NEXT FRIEND. V. HOLLAND AND WIFE. When this cause was called on. it was intimated that as the one Immediately succeeding it in the paper was an action of trover ketween the same parties, both should be made the subject of refer. *bee : and the defendant's Counsel further proposed that the other salts nos/Amending between them. in the Court of Chancery and ifi tlr. Ecclesiastical Court, should be disposed of in the same r:Sergeant Pats., on behalf of the plaintiff, in troves, was per. feetty_willing to agree to that proposition. Sr CmAttes Piritt.tra, who appeared fnr the plaintiff in the action of assault, said his client was not in COW:, and he could not aver to the proposition as tar as that action was concerned. With aseipeet to the rest,there was no objection. Mr.. Sergeant VAUGHAN observed, that this refusal clearly proved that there was a great deal of bad spirit on one side. Mr. C. PHILLIPS replied," and a great deal of brutality on the Other." The Jary were then !WM, and Mr. PATTICON opened the pleadings. This was an action of assault and battery, to which the sfareadants had pleaded Not Guilty. Air. CHARLES PHILLIPS stated the ease to the Jury. Ile should have been extrenrely willing, even In the absence of his at torney. who had instructed him, to have taken upon himself the reaponailvility of referring this cause, but that he could not but con sider it as an action of that nature which was, above all others, wor thy at the consideration of a Jury, and on: which. as men of the thee -id, as men of common sense and common humanity, they would r* no hesitation in determining. This assault was one of a pecu- Maly outrageous, inhuman, and brutal description. It was the illisforteme of the plaintiff to lose her mesler in her infancy it was IN! greater misfortune that the male defendant In this ease had been appointed her guardian. Use mother bad left her conaldatable pro" . • 'Otigidifeadanr. At that - time the wiiu nit five years okl. She never knew a fathey's care, and she had no friend on earth to con sole or to shield her but the male delitidant ; of his conduct at that nerind, we entuplaint could be made; he acted at first. not ohly kindly, but liberally and fairly toward* the plaintiff; he seat her to a very reepertabli establishment, kept by a Mel. Whiting, to whom he paid fifty guineas per year for her education : when she had been there far a little time, he thought it proper to give her the benefit of a foreign education. and acitordingly he vent her to France, where she was plated in a night'' , respectable establishment, and no expense was spared upon her education, which wan such as • to be suitable to ltereeal condition in life; in fact, she was brought lip an a eaten of independent property, for such she was. and such the defendant knew I.er to be. In the year 1821 she returned from France to this country : she was then fifteen years of age, and she • elsk ell her residence with the chit - Malan% at his home., No. 2, Park-place, Pimlico. It happened most unfortunately for the allitlntilr, that w ite she was In France, the male defendant's first I wife died, and lie had entered into marriage with the female drfen. I tint —a woman, if woman she might be called, who had nothing drew her of woman Ina the 'thine —who pores/led no one kind or hillariane sentiment—whore term wait a libel neon herself, and wl o ;tags an incarnation of every devilish quality. Let not the Jury • Mettle at the derierintion; he heantight them to hear the facts of the !Mee, rind then, if they did not lied the character he had of the female defendant to he true, they might visit 51:"Iibel on him iMr. Phillips) and on his unfortunate client. Ile should, however, forbear going into a detail of the circumstances which had taken place up to the day of the assault. Yet the Jury would be surnriaed, they would be shocked to hear, that on the day of the assault. she, who had been the* educated and brought up, hail been treated as a menial servant. Accustomed as she was ter different !Ishii, and educated as she had been, she was put to sleep with one of the menial servants of the family. Now that was important, for much, in ems of this nature, depended on the situation of the parties. She had always before been treated as a lady ; why she was thneruddenly degraded, the defendants knew arid could explain. • No doubt the male defetdant would say to day that the plaintiff had no fortune : if he did, he would perhaps, at the same time. explain why he had expended fifty guineas per annum on her education in this country, and why he had after- wards sent her, at a considerable expense, to France ? Why, for twelve years, he had betel in midnight darkness as to the plaintiff's situation ? end why it was that this new ligi.t had only burst upon him since his second marriage? lie would pethaps also show what was the reason that he had paid, out of his own pocket, such minis for the benefit of a person who had not the slightest claims upon him ? The plaintiff one day complained, that if she was really without fortune, it wan wrong in Mr. Holland to have given her such an education. This was repeated to the defendants, sad this was the only provocation she had given fur the brutal treatment she afterwards received from the female defendant—treatment whit.t was truly brutal in itself. and he might nay murderous in its Intention. The plaintiff recollected the bright promises of her youth, and she mourned over the darkness of bee future Pre*Pects; but her complaints were not uttered Insultingly to the defendants ; they were expressed to those with whom she had been obliged to associate. They were repeated to the defendants, and immediately afterward! , the plaintiff entered ' the room, and sat down to the tea-table with them, for the forms of a ward were still in some measure kept up towards her. She wan allowed to sit down, but scarcely had she done so. when I MPS. Holland threw a cup of scalding tea in her face. That was • base and brutal conduct, but it was enility compared to what after wards occurred. The servant, hearitig a noise, came in, and being possessed of the feelings of her sex, which Mrs. Holland had not, she advised the plaintiff to go down stairs. Thither the female defendant followed her, and In spite of Mr. Holland, who certainly did what he could to prevent it, she struck the plaintiff violently. The plaintiff got into the back kitchen, and locked the door ; but Mrs. H. succeeded in getting it open, *zed her be the hair, and threw her down with such violence. as to break the comb in her head. Would the Jury believe him—would the, hardly believe the witnesses, when they were told, that on the plamtiff's escaping to the second Boor, Mrs. H. pursued her thither with a red-hot poker. with which she struck twice or thrice at the plaintiff• but wan fortunately prevented, by the interference of the servants, from doing her any material mischief ? H.. on being told by ;he servant that 'be fright have killed the plaintiff , only answered," I den% are: I should be glad to be hanged for exterminating such a wretch ;" and afterwards, taking up the prayer-book, she swore by the sanctity of it, that she would put the plaintiff to death if she remained in the house another night. On the following morning the plaintiff was taken to Whitechapel, and was obliged by het feebleness to rest so frequently, that she was occupied from seven in the morning to one in the day, in going thither. If he made out fiese statements, should he not satisfy them, that nothing could be more brutal or abominable; and would they think that even 5001. the sum laid in the declaration, was too much to be given as de% Mrin such a cane ? . Whiting proved that the plaintiff was put to his mother's school, at fifty guineas per annum, and was ordered to be treated with every indulgence. Francis De Vaugh, the clerk to Heerlen and Co. the defendants' bankers, proved the orders for payment of money for Miss °OW bell's education in France. Mary Anne Lawrence wan then called into the box. Before she Imre bee evidence she 'ftid she wished to claim the protection of the Court. as she had been threatened with violence by (as we on • flentoodi Mr. Holland. •The Cuter Jrrsvrcl said the Court was quite strong enough to protect her, and desired her to proceed. The witness then deposed as follows:—In February, 181'.3, I was a servant of the defendants. I had then lived with them about Mt months and a week. On the 12th of February 1823, Miss • Oseebell was in the house . I have heard Mr. Holland say he rpe,t won upon her education; and she afterwards said it was a pity all that wan expended on her education, and nothing saved to put her oat to some genteel business, as she had no' fortune of her own. I told this to Mr. and Mrs. Holland ; about ten iniruten afterwards I saw the plaintiff sitting at tea with them, 39e. Holland said it was very sensible of Miss Campbell to have said what she had. Miss Campbell came in then, and was asked if she had made use of such expressions ; and she said she had. I left the room immediately, and as I got to the bottom of the SMITS the bell rang in a violent manner; when I got to the parlour door, Miss Campbell wan coming out, with her bosom all wet, the cup was broken en the floor, and the sideboard was wetted 1 with hot tea. Miss Campbell went down into the kitchen, where she was followed by Mr. and elm. H.. the latter of whom took her by the hand and owing her round the kitchen. Mrs. 11. then took a ,ightee candle from my candlestick, and threw at her. Mr. H. received her arms to prevent her from falling. Men. H. ran to.. wards her; but Mr. 11. gave her ;blow, which threw her aside and knocked her down. Miss C. ran away into the back kitchen, and better: the door. Alin. H. said she was not tile. H.'s daughter. I called to Miss C. to come out of the kitchen to help me to save Mrs. H. from her husband. Miss C. did so. and Mrs. H. then took hold of the red-hot poker from the kitchen-fire, and run at tills' C. who fled to the nursery. Mee. H. pursued her, lifted the poker with both her Ninth', and struck at her; the blow struck Al ix* C. on the collar, and fell down to the ground. She made another blow at Miss C., but 3largaret Mason, another servant, stopped her. I opened the door to let Miss C. run down stain ; she did so, and fastened her. self in the kitchen. Mrs. H. wns by the parinar-door, and fell in s note of fainting fit. Mrs. H. called out, " Mies C., open the door, you wretch, and let me have Rome water." I asked her to open the tinter, she did no. and Mrs. H. then seized her by the hair, threw her down on the Odor, and broke her comb in her head ; she then seized the poker end the carving -knife, and pile :ivied MUM C. up stain. Whin I had an opportunity, I put bilis C. into the front area, to get her into the coal-cellar ; after. wards I got Ales. H. to bed, and she was very much exhausted, I brought Miss C. in again, and kept her in the kitchen, and locked Mrs. H.'s door. Alias C. enmplained yery much of her side, back, and head. On the next day I took he 7 to my brother's house, in the Commercial ii ; she was six hours in walking that distance. her - ' Mts. H. took her oath she would mur. I took .._ away, because Mn. H. der Miss C. ; she said, " So help me God, if she Pays another night in the house, I'll murder ltev," and then she kissed the book. I never sew Miss C. give an► provocation to Mrs. H. for the treatment she received. I have heard Dlrs. H. say her bus. band was worth 1,500/. per annum ; the plaintiff had very good clothes, Mr. Sergeant Nratranow objected to evidence of the value of the clothes. Mr. PHIL t.H.s said, it was to show that she had been formerly treated as a gentlewoman. The Cuter JU STICE—The mental accomplishments conferred on her by her education, are better evidence of that, than any dress, however expensive, can be. The witness was then cross-examined;—Plaintiff was fed, clothed, and supported by Mr. Holland ; he (the plaintiff; attempted in every respect to restrain Mrs. Holland's violence ; he always treated the plaintiff' very kindly ; he endea voured to protect her, and struck Mrs. H. in doing so ; Miss C. oposevally took her meals with the family, bet she was sometimes sent down to the kitchen ; Mr. H. had four children living when I was in his house ; I have never heard Mks C. give the lie to Mrs. A.: I remember hearing Mr. H. say he had advertised for a situs tion for the plaintiff; I never heard her refuse to go to a situation; I never threatened to be revenged of Mrs. H. ; I never but once denied that I had said she used the carving -knife, but I denied it because I was afraid of her coming to my situation to hurt my cha racter ; Mist, C. went before a Magistrate once, but that war on another attempt on ber life ; Mrs. H. was committed on Mies C.** own evidence ; bail was offered, but not taken at the time ; I never kn-w anything of the mother of Mist, Campbell ; Mrs. H.'w mai den name wait Mary Delahan ; I do not know Miss C.'s hand writing; I have never heard her say she amused herself with writ. ing reroute on Mrs. H. Mr. Sergeant VAUGHAN—What, none of the verses we have heard from Mr. Phillips in his speech ? Mr. Prime re —I never aced any verses in my speech. Mr. Sergeant V•I:OHAV-0 yes, you used a great deal of poetry. Margaret Mason confirmed the former wi•nes4 in every particular; she added, that the plaintiff was always called Miss Holland in the family; witness understood her to be Mr. lio,!and's daughter; plaintiff had been put in the nursery to assist witness in the care of the children. Sarah Waistcoat was a servant in tine house when Miss C. came from France; there was preparation made for her as for a daugh :et. Creas.exaniined—Never heard lilies C. use irritating language. The first witness was recalled, and asked by the CHIVY Jos- TICIC, why she did not get a coach for the plair tiff? She answered, that neither of them had any money. This clewed the plaintiff's ease. Mr. Sergeant VAttlfitat, for the defendant, observed, that he had not often, in the course of his professional experience, been in a more painful situation than at this moment. Ile appeared here as the advocate for these defendants, that is, he appeared substan. Bally tot the husband, who was responsible in law for the conduct . e plait. appealed t. .: feelings -. the Joey. . ... Vaughan) knew that their feelings were always up in arms against a defendant who wan accused of having acted in stieh a manner as that imputed to Mrs.llolland. Indeed, if they possessed :he feelings of men, they could not remain unmoved through inch a statement. but neoessatily be affected—nay, almost transported beyond the boundp . of their,judgment, by the powerful and eloquent spceell of Oka plaintiff's Cout.sel. Now, of all this statement, no proof had paireved.nor even a tittle of evidence had been tendered. to in what situation the plaintiff' really timed with regard t i Mr. offend. lint the Jury must have surmised the rate nature of his situation. for his Learned ?Acid had said the plaintiff had not shown a father's care— ' ‘• The child. whom many fatliees share, Has seldom known a father's care." • There was no pretence for sayir.g that the plaintiff's , possessed of, or entitled to a fortune. For all that had appeared to-day, she had :muerte farthing of property in the world,—indeed, the evidence, instead of showing thou she was a person of property, proved the very reverse. The epithets which had been heaped together in the opening speech, were proved by the evidence to apply only to the female defendant, and not to her husband ; and !be Jury should remember. when they listened to those epithets, that it was the husband alone who would have to pay; and when they remembered that, thee would take care not to confound these persona with each oilier. The hemmed Consul for the plaintiff hail ornamented his speech with line images -and with the poetry of his thoughts, in a way which might have been expected from him. Ile had set out with a Outer:Mien, that he Airfield state the facts without comment; but this plain matter.of-footman, who wan to leave these luta to make their own way to tlio_hearts of the Jury, had not hesitated to describe Mu. Holland sa a Melon whose " forru was a libel CO her sex, and who was an, incarnation of every devilish quality." Thie WS, plain statement with a vengeance, and yet this had hew resorted to in the present else: now, if the Jury were much ac customed to sitting in this Court, all this would produce • con siderable effect anon them : for as the advocates in this Court never had recourse to any flourishes whatever, as they always stated their ease in a simple unexaggerated way, the Jury were naturally led to place considerable reliance on them ; and, there fore, when they heard such statements mode here, they could hardly refrain from believing them ; and if they did believe them. they would say that the female defendant wu a devil indeed (a laugh.) If she was, so much the worse for Mr. Holland ; but bad as she might be, she could hardly be as bad as she had been repre sented. The female witnesses who had described the transaction, seemed to have been infected with the aerie spirit of exaggeration as the Learned Csouneel; and ffom th• eestement of the first of them, one would nlmorit hare been led to sr` pose that she had been threatened by Mrs. Holland with the red - hot poker end the Brat carving knife (a laugh.) These witnesses, however, bad carefully abstained from stating what wan the provneatimi given—nome moat have been offered. Could the Jury be at a lops to conceive what it was ? Could they not easily imagine that this plaintiff had ins*. lently taunted the defendant with the education he had given her? And if they could imagine that, did they not know that the tongue of woman was sometimes as bad as the poker or tl4l knife ? That such provocation had been given, he had no doubt ; but he could no: prove it, because the defendants could not be witnesses in their own cause: and the only other person who could be called, and who had already given her evidence, was not in the room at the time. If the Jury believed the evidence that had been given, they must return a verdict for the plaintiff; but they could hardly think of awarding her damages to any considerable amount. The CHI Cr JUSTICY, having stated the nature of the action, and recapitulated the principal points of the evidence. The Jury would consider attenuvely all the circomstances of the rase; ant if they believed the evidence, they would find for the plaintiff, with such damages as they might think the nature of the assault required. The Jury retired for above en hour, and then returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 2411. Ifrti The action of (rover was afterwards ordered to stand over till the next Sittings, by which dine it was expected a guardian would be appointed. CONSISTORV COURT, SarunDarr, Juxx 4.

This gentleman does not believe that the disease called the hydrophobia can be communicated in the way generally supposed, and has resolutely refused to adopt any.of the precautions recommended in such cases. Ilia wound, which wan in the arm, has been suffered to heal. The dog was secured, and subsequently died in his keeping. Mr. White, in an account which he has pub. fished, states, that upon the dog being dissected strong excitement from some cause was evidently developed. But Mr. %'hite is still of opinion that a bite from any dog dying sulestauch circumstances could not infuse a specific poison into the hqman system. He had, in the minds of his medical friends, etakcd./lis life on his opinions. iso Ile had every confidence, short of bid °try, in their correctness ; and, with (what they have been pl to term) the most dreadful of human maladies, presumedsto hanging over him, he felt com petent to declare, that imagination would at least have no share in the result. He should die, "and the wonim might at him," but not of hydrophobia. THE BRITISH PRESS• settle - We. Ni was rstritaely sorry that this cast, together with FROM all the other suite, and bites, and actions, had not Lees referred to some mutual friend, who might have arbitrated between thetar- , ties. However. the plaintiff had chosen torrlnve the otter, and had appealed to the feelings of the Jury. Now he, (Mr. Sergeant THE MARCHIONESS OF WESTXESTE V. THE MARQUIS OF WESTMEATH. This was a suit instituted in the year 1820 for a divorce, by rea son of cruelty and adultery. • It must be in the recollection of our readers that a recent decision in Ireland has impugned the testimony of several of the alarchio ness's witnesses This day an exceptive allegation to the evidence of another of her witnesses, Miss Frances Elix3heth Wood, was tendered on behalf of the Marquis. The ground of exception was, that this young lady had, in her answer to interrogatories. stated, that she did not recollect being, in the year 1818, at a ball given by Lady Robinson at her mansion in Albemarle-street; nor did she recollect having ever said "that the Marchioness was endeavouring to get all she could from her husband-by bullying him." In contradiction to this part of her testimony, it was prayed that the Court would permit Daniel Giles, Esq. to be examined. Dr. LUSHIRGTON. in reply, argued that. admitting this young lady to be in error as respected these points. still it was more pro bable that it arose from a larvae of memory than from any in tention to commit the serious offence of deliberate perjury. He did not perceive that there was any thing so very peculiar in a young lady's going to a hall, as to cause her to retain a recollection of the circumstance three years afterwards ; and it was still more impro bable that a conversation taking place there should be impressed on the mind. He had not been at a ball for twenty years put, 1 but from what he could recollect it was a scene of gaiety and confusion, in which the whirl of the dance, the play of the music, the glitter end glare on all aides, sad the multiplicity of remarks and compliments, were well calculated to prevent any mere cursory observation from making a deep impression on a young lady's memory ; the more especially when, as in the present cue, it oc curred in a conversation with an elderly gentleman. Sir C. Rontsisow thought himself bound to admit the exceptive allegation, and permit evidence to be taken in support thereof. The question of its Importance, as weighing against this young lady's testimony, he should lure to betdiscussed at a more mature stage of the proceedings. SLANDER. RICHARDS v. CLARICE. This was a suit instituted for defamation of character. The parties are sisters-in-law, resident at Paddington, arid it appears defendant entertained a suspicion that her husband maintained a criminal intercourse with Mrs. Susannah Richards, the plaintiff ii this cause. Five witnesses were examined, who swore to different defama tory expressions. One witness was told by the defendant, "that Mrs. Richards was walking in her shoes; that she was a w—, and that she was her husband's w— ." Another swore that the defendant, seeing her nnsband coming out of the plaintiff's house, called to him, " Von have been to see your w—, have you ?" At another time, the defendant seeing the plaintiff standing at her own door, called to her, "tin in, you nasty w—;" with other equally conTlimentary expressions. No defence was attempted. lair C. Rontrisow pronounced judgment. No reply had been given to the libel exhibited, and the Court therefore must consider it to be fully proved. it therefore pronounced its sentence to be— " That the defendant do, on Sunday, the 12th inst., perform penance in the parish church of Paddington; and that she pay the costa of this suit." POLICE. MANSION-HOUSE. On Saturday, a fisherman, named Williams, was brought before the Loan 'klaxon, charged with having used a white bait-net, contrary to the Act of Parliament. Nelson, the assistant water-bailiff, stated that the river was co vered by illegal fishing-boats; that as the white bait was now in season, the most destructive means was taken to get at other fish, such as smelt and flotanders, under pretence of fishing for white bait alone. The defendant was not only guilty himself of using a net calculated to take the smallest fish, but had at the moment he was speaking some men at work in the river. The fisherman said it was notorious that the whole world now fished for white bait ; that the delicacy was required daily by his Majesty. who was pleased to countenance the practice of fishing for it by eating it; that the river, in fact, was overrun with white bait, and that in fishing for it, he (defendant) avoided as much as possible touching any other fish. Under those circumstances he thought it would be very hard to fine him and to deprive him of his net. Nelson produced the Act. and declared, that unless his Lordship did something decisive against the practice. the river would be robbed of all its most valuable spawn. He informed his Lordship, that notwithstanding the prohibition by Act of Parliament, several persons in the (;ity of London had advertised that they devised it daily ; and last year the public could get supdlied, before his face, with the fish in the greatest abundance. The consequence of this general disregard of the Act was, that he was laughed at down the river by the fishermen, who, the moment he appeared, gave the signal to their fellows, and away went the nets, notwithstanding all his vigilance and labour. The Loan MAYOR strongly approved of Nelson's anxiety to protect the fish, and said he should at least condemn the nets. Ile had it in his power to inflict a penalty of W. upon the offender, but be should remit the penalty in the present case, although, perhaps, it would be more advisable at the commencement of the season to set an example to the rest of the fishermen. His 1,7414 said he should write to Mr. Alellard, at Blackwall, not to dress any of the favourite fish at the Conservancy dinners, as he could not conscien tionstly think of eating white-bait, when he condemned the nets by which it was caught. Nelson highly approved of this plan, and said that the present Chamberlain of London, wben an Alderman, had prohibited it. His Lordship then condemned the net, but remitted the tine. The fisherman went away declaring that Nelson never gave the poor lellowsppon the water any chance of catching any thing but hunger and cold. Way ON St:l RIII:R.—We understand an official com munication ha* been received by the Chamber of Commerce, whereby it appears that the duty on Sulphur is to be re duced from 20s. to Los. per cwt. To bleachers, calico printers, and some other classes of commercial men, this alteration is important.—Manchester Guardian. Within those few days past nearly sixteen hundred tons of flax have been imported from the Baltic into Dundee. SON. On Saturday, at twelve o'clock, in consequence au advertise. ment which appeared in several of the Morning Papers, signed by a number of the creditors of Chambers and Son, late bankers, Brosd-street, a numerous fbeeting of creditors took place in tie King's Concert.room. at the Italian Opera House. Mr. CALCSAFT, M.P. being called to the Chair, said, that he willingly acetified to the general voice of the respectable and nu merous body of creditors then present, and assured the meeting that some information. very in-peewit, u it affected their general interests, would be laid before them. The lion. Gentleman then read the advertisement by which the fleeting had been coo. vened. Mr. A BECKETT ofr, red himself to the m Ice of the meeting; he stared that the Committee. who represented tie general body of creditors, hod tsice advertised the. sale of Mr. Chanibers's estates, r at Chettle. Enfield, Ste.. and though great numbers of gentlenteu from different parts of England had attended with the intention of bidding. the sales had been most unaccountably postponed; he was of opinion, with others of the creditors who had convened the meeting, that it was not too much to expect of Mr. Chambers or the Committee, to give an explanation of such extraordinary proceedings. Mr. 13180011. one of the Committee, read the minutes of their proceedings; by which it appeared that Mews. Chambers and Son had executed a deed between them and the Committee. and had granted a letter of license, upon condition that they should aid 'he Committee in winding up the accounts, and in making the property available to the creditors, for which they were allowed 7fol. per annum. Instead of Mr. Chambers rendering the pro. mixed assistance, be had thwarted the Committee in almost every step they had taken ; and because the Committee refused to release 31r. Chambers, jun. (in opposition to the opinion of Mr. Rich mond, the Barrister), Mr. Chambers hid refused to allow the estates to be sold, and had threatened violence to those who dared to intrude upon his property. 1)11% AITECKETT moved, after some further prefatory observe. lions. the following Resolution : " That this Muting learn, with great regret, the conduct of Mr. Chambers, senior, and the opposition given by bin to the proceed. ing' , of the Committee." Mr. IVitsow seconded the motion. Mr. Vi'lLaoec said, that he had twice advertised the estates to be gold by order of the Committee, and great loss had been occa. sinned to the creditors, by Mr. Chambers preventing the sale ; but his conduct was in direct opposition to the Committee, and the only alternative left was the revocation of the Letiefot Licence. Mr. CALCASrT eulogised the conduct of the Committee, and was sure the creditors would support then. Mr. Chambers's con. duct unfortunately spoke for itself ; he seemed to be influenced by an infatuation that was ruinous to the claims of the creditors. Mr. Tooaras said, the Committee had been constantly insulted by Mr. Chambers. Two of the memters, who were highly re spectable in the legal profession, were charged by him with being hirelings, although they had given their services gratuitously ; and he had been informed in the Committee-mom, that Mr. lock, a gentleman well known to all present, whose age ought alone to have entitled him to respect, had been threatened by Mr. Chem hers to be thrown into a horse-pond if he intruded on his estates._ (Cries of " Shame.") Mr. BICKNELL opposed the motion, and moved an amendment. He wished Mr. Chambers to be heard before dhe motion was carried. (It was stated that Mr. C. had left the room sometime before). He had had a paper placed in his hands, the hand -writing of Mr. Chambers, who complained of the conduct of the Committee in refusing to grant his son the release promised, and for that reason he refused to allow the estates to be sold. After some discussion Mr. Bicknell withdrew his amendmeut, and the original 'nation was put and carried u iarthnously. Mr. ATECKETT moved the following Resolution : " That a revocation of the Letter of Licence appears to this Meeting to be unavoidable; but they leave the expediency, at d the period of such revocation, to the Committee, relying with the most perfect confidence on their judgment and prudence." Mr. A r.f.Esr, M.P. wished some Member of the C,oenenittee to give his opinion whether he thought it would be for the Interest of the creditors to adhere to the deed, or to revoke it and issue a cum. mission of bankruptcy ? Several of the Committee said, that such was the conduct of Mr Chambers, that they had been of opinion for sometime that there was no other course but the issuing a commission. Mr. CALCIATT said, that it the Committee were to be blame , at all, it was tor the lenity they had shown to Mr. Chambers. Mr. STONE said that it was impossible for the Committee to art further with Mr. Chambers. He was of opinion a commission of bankruptcy must eventually be issued ; and all the d'Sculfies In which they had been placed, had originated through the hostile pmeeedings of Mr. Chambers. A Creditor said, if a Commission was issued, they should hare Ss. instead of 15s. is the pound for their debts. Mr. Huxrueerrsaid, that justice would not be done to the Creditors who had signed the deed, notes' the Letter of License was rooked. After some further remarks, the motion was carried unani mously. Mr. ATECIETT moved, and another Gentleman Erconded the following Resolution : " That it appears to this meeting that the Commitge have acted with sound discretion, in refusing to release Mr. Chambers, jun. without meaning to imply any disapproba , ion of his condiact." Mr. Toole hoped, within three weeks, to have a satisfactory answer from the Committee upon the subject of revoking the Letter of Licence, issuing a C,ouimission, flee. The Committee undertook to report. their proceedings to a Gene ral Meeting, to be held within the ersuing three weeks. Thanks were voted to the Gentlemen who convened the Meeting, and to the Chairman for his able conduct. A Member of the Committee stated, that considerable property had been removed from Enfield Farm by Mr. Chambera, who was not content with the seven hundred pout ds per annum allowed lfm and his family. The same person also infer ned the Meeting, that the Committee had discovered that the sum of 2,000 L and dicers other sums, had been invested by Mr. Chambers in the name of different tyrant's on the day the Bank stopped! Mr. BICKNELL said he was glad the f. eta h id been stated, be cause it gave Mr. Chambrrs an opportimi y o r plying to them. A Creditor asked to be informed by the Com iiittee what was the state of Mr. Chambers's account at the time the Bank stopped pay. ment ? One of the Committee replied, that his prvre account was over drawn 71,000 L MELANCHOLY SUICIDE.—Our readers will remember the circumstance of the house of John Tyars, a harmless old man, of Clinton, near Peterborough, being broken into three years ago. ! by midnight robbers, who, after • long resistance of the old man, succeeded in robbing him of all his wealth, amounting to • con siderable sum, which he imprudently kept by him. On the lessor the property, such was the distress of mind of Tyars and an aged sister who lived with him, that the wretched pair, to terminate their worldly agony, agreed rodestroy themselves, and went fee the pur pose to a po'td where the woman actually did drown herself. The unhappy creature, her brother, did not at the time succeed in his purpose • hut on Saturday last, being the third anniversary of the day on which a coroner's inquest was held on the body of Elisabeth Tyars, ra Ty', an inquest wax held at the %Vim& Sheaf at Clinton, by Mr. Hopkinson, coroner for the sake of Peterborough, on the body of the above-named John Tyars, who had that morning succeeded in drowning himself. A vedict of ktmacy was recorded. it is re markable that another brother of the above committed suicide some years since.
