Though this excellent actress might have taken higher ground, we are happy to greet her in a new character; she confines her talents, we think, within too limited a range, as if she doubted the extent et, her posers, or feared to risk the well.earned foam she has acquired. Bertha, thoegh not the most strike, log feature of the Play, contains two scenes se. ceptible of great power end pathos; one in the pris son with Duriael, jest before he is led out to este. cation ; the other where she remains, erroneously, under the impression that his sentence has bees carried into effect, and is roused teem a trance of horror* by the entrance of Derimel himself, need; almost miraculously, from his impending fate, ky tLe interposition of St. Franc, hit father. • To theset O'Nrim. gave ell the effect that attends some' of the meat celebrated passages in her Belridera. The Play was well performed throughout, and was an-' saanced for repetition on Monday evening. Is . ; : 0 . . • • " " : " • - • • ---~ . 1- 1409 e. tr - r : IN .

JURIES. • CROWLIN V. ilenT, AINALRY, AND GRANT, EMIL The Plaintiff comphiined of a tremens and fake imptisunnieni, ender a warranit• eigietd by die Der Coutasiswouers of Bankrupt., oho pm a ;o..ttfication on the record. J Mr. G wince, in opening the case, admitted, that the object et the Plaintiff was net to obtain damages, though he had seataioed considerable usury, jives. much as the Defendants had no doubt acted bona fide.. though asider mistake. The Plaintiff bad qu okka on business as a tavern-keeper, at the Qveen's Head, in St. Jaines'a.street. and in March, 1816, •as declared a bankrupt : he was taken into custody by the messenger, on the 18th of June following, on. der a warrant from the Defendants, who sat as Com missioner', and under that authority had been c , tn. 'eyed to the King's Bench prison, and there confined until the present time. The important object of this *Vies was to ascertain the validity of that Commis. lion, the Plaintiff contending that it Wes void, on the .ground of • prior 'sitting Commission under which the Plaintiff had not received his certificate dated in the year 1808, end obtained chile he resided in Abe North of England. Application, by petition, bed been made to the Lord Chencellor, and sit issue bad been directed, bat the assignees had not thought fit to proceed. They had already been once defeated .in the Common Pleas, though anew trial had been afterstattds granted, which the Plaintiff, from acci dent, had been unehie to purse.. Win. Betwood, clerk to the Messenger under the Cosmiuiun, proud llto grant of the warrant by the Defendants. The instrument ;WO was prodoeed,by. Mr. A. Pa- Who deposed that the Plaintiff was in confine ment before and since the &Ile of the warrant (18th June, 1816) oo an action end i process of the Court of Chancery for contempt. Mr. SCARLETT, for the Defendants, submitted, that the Plaintiff had yetusade out no trespass, lees. OtsCh as he had been broeghi up .io custody to the. Commiesiesers, sod wee sent flack in the 'erne cal tody., having been pretioosly tendered in en-action, and committed. for • contempt. It did not splitter, therefore, that the warrant of the Defendants bad veer operated upon him so sts•to cause his arrest or coofineaserit. Lord ELLansoitouon was at brat inclined to think this objection well founded, though Mr. GRIMM! ogled that the warrant of the COO • aissionets must at least be considered one of the jos lifications of the Marshal of the King's Beach prison for detaining the Plaintiff. Lord Et.tassoitooon offered to rare the point, but it was rendered unnecessary by the prodection of another witness on the part of the Plaintiff, who swore that two Messengers under the Commission accompanied the Marshalaran hack to prison, with this Plaintiff in that/ joint custody ; end that. where. AS before the geeeting of the warrant the Plaintiff was in the flutes, after it bad been greatest be was lodged within the wells of the prison. A prima fads case baring been mad* oat for the Plaintiff,• 'I- Mr. 011.111 WET left It to the other sills to establish the justification.
