TUE BRITISH MINING COMPANY. ;outlaw argument In this case was resumed this morning, Mr. Noteivalle mut Mr. Pepys appearing in addition to the Counsel weriweVir *HMI in salmon of Lady Hanson's interests. $5. Preto, In the course of his argument. referred to Mr. Mtiesonne.'s letter to Lady Hanson, which he (Mr. Pepys) demo. mowed a threatening letter, stating, uit did, that if her Lady m..ta did sot advance her proportion of money required under an air-anent entered Into with Mr. Thomas, the then proptietor of the mines, h respect to the proportionate exptnse incurred as re goaded the twenty-four one-hundred parts of one mine, the thirty ;hue ooe-hundredth parts of another, and the forty-one one-hundred esellawritieth mots of a third, which had been purchased by her Ladyship, the Company would immediately commence an action in the Seminary Court for the foreclosure of the mortgage, or the sale ef the The pr L operty. OßD CHANCELLOR observed, that be should be very mush obliged to any gentleman who would tell him what theseStan taey lure were. (A smell volume was here handed to his Lordship by Alf. Sup. which was ileetollsol an containing the code in question, to sehiels Mr. Shadwell objected as of no authority, seeing that the eollum's nettle did not appear, nor any sanction or proof that they wee what they professed to be.l tlis Loarientr remarked, that they were professed to be past at a convocation, and that he should like to know how the power was given to this emiencetion to pass the laws in question. As far as he hna seen, at any rate they regarded only the tin mines, whereas the bill charged that, of the four mines mentioned as the objects of foreclosure, ton were of copper and one of lead. Mr. Parrs said that whether these haws were the laws of the Sissmariee or not did Let appear to him to be material; it was isiellele—t for film to show that his client, Lady Hanson, was tbersotted with proceedings under those laws • if they were not the law... then the granting of the injuncion coul d do no injustice, and es they were, then Lady Hanson was entitled to be protected in elude against their operation to the detriment of her interests. Peps's cited two eases. to show that a Court of Equity would jute-!Pte to protect the interests of individuals, although the whale of the members forming a Company were not before the Court. DVe tint was the City or London against a Water Company, and the other the case of Cullen against the Duke of Queensberry. The Loan CHANCELLOR asked if that was not the Coterie Cl , . P _ . Mr. PEPS'S repred it was the case of the Ladies' Society. wl:ich had hem appealed to the House of Lords, and the House of Lords had decide , ) that the trustees. under the deed of agreement, were rah!, for the debts of the bady. The LoRD ANTCr t.ton said he recollected the case very well, particularly 14 regarded a curious conversation which took plane bytweea Lord Thurlow and the Duke of Queensberry. The Moose of Lords were so enraged that members of their own body sought to evade the payment of a just debt, that they at once de ckled fer the appellant, thereby rendering tae trustees personally Path for the debts of the concern.* r. SBADWELL appeared for Mr. Thoinas, the original pro prietor of the mines, and read various pasmges from the evidence, t r show that the transactions with Lady Hanson, particularly that rey.ml to the loan of 3,0101. were wholly without his (Mr. Thomas's) knowledge and consent. He also contended, that Lady *arson most knew who the members of this Company were, from t"C particular man:ter in which she had set forth the communica- Vons respecting the proposals that had been made to her by the Company, for the purchase of her interest in the mines, which hterest they had been willing to take off her hands, at a lower 'sr, certainty, than that demanded by her, because all the money !.) .paid by her had not been benelicitilv capetoloil ur.zto tiok ;;,,„,h, to base been, but with which Mr. Thomas Fid nothing to do, the whole arrangement resting with Mr. dtderwon. Mr. HEAL?) appeared for some of the defendants, an 3 said, that Co war surpri.ed to hear that his Learned Friend (:11r. Pcpys) bad cited Ca 1.1.1 to show that the Court would grant an injunction in &Act of parties, for it must be fully in the recollection of his ; 4 ordship and those who heard him, as to what took place on a Oahu' application respecting the Peruvian Loan. The Learned Oh:nal Wail pursuing his remarks, when The LORD CUANCELLoa asked what would be the consequence of NI.; anpainting a receiver? How could he deal with the interests et indis,duals not before the Court ? It did not appear to him ex- Iletlf dear in what relation Lady Hanson stood in respect of these hakes, whether an proprietor or mortgagee. Certainly, if a co.pro. prierne, she could not ask for an injunction against her partners; if, as mortgagee, then a receiver must be appointed, and bow could he ittln the absence of persons interested? His Lordship said, he *paid think of these points between this and to-morrow, as it was I neer:troy for him to attend the Recorder's report. • The cars of Cullen and the Duke of Queensberry was one of ratiier a sinplar nature, and Sal as follows :—The plaintiff ri 4 is' lieu filed his bill in equity against the Duke of Queens. berry, the Earl of Egremor.t, Lords Alelburne, Macartney, and Luc." who were the annual Committee at the time of the traaraciion, conducting the aftitire of the Ladies' Club, generally known at that period as tke Coterie. A general meeting of yin rat scriberr took place at Lord Melbonte's in 1775, upon worth occasion oee hundred members were present, and they con vected wiili the plaintiff for the business to be done, which *settle purchase of the lease of a house, &c. &c. An agreement and let.. ter rif attorney was rigr.ed by the Noble Lords forming the Com. irsittee, with the exception of Lord Illacartney ; the term, of the ageeement were not complied with, and the plaintiff filed his bill eqii:ty foe specific performance. The Lord Chancellor Thnrlow eisdrued the aseistance of two common law judges, Mr. Justice 'almost and Mr. Justice Gould. and thee decided that the plain tiff ass iroutled to his remedy against the individuals in question. The Nob!. lards appealed from that decision to the House of Lords, and they confirmed the decision of the Court below, under *Fong feelings of displeasure that the defendants should have brought the care before them.

In admitting that this is the decision of their Lordships, I cannot but lament they have thought fit to adopt It. because I think it unfriendly to the best ' interests of the community, and opposed to all principles of natural ' justice. It is my conviction that the statement of a patty, made ' for the purpose of being laid before and obtaining the opinion of Cowrie, is strictly a confidential communication, which should on no account be ever disclosed. Such a disclosure is a revealing of the private communications between a man anti his professional advisers, which may be attended with the most unfortunate results.

COURT Or• RING'S BENCH. OuILDHALL, TUESDAY, DEC. 20. After hearing a clove of no nubile Interest, the Court adjourned at twelve o'clock, the Lord Chief Justice having to attcntlin an other place. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, TorsDAT, Drc. Sittings lefurc Lord Chle.histict BEST. CASES OF LIBEL. BIOWN )AT. This case, which was tried by a Special Jury, was an action brought by the plaintiff', a distnnting minister, residing in the parish of Bethnal-green, against the defendant, whn had been for some time vestry clerk in the same parish. Various libels had been pub. belied on both sides, some of which had been subjects of a former action in the Court of King's Bench; and Brown, the plaintiff in this cue, had been arrested on a writ of capital, and is now in prison. To calm the storm which still raged in the parish, anti restore peace and tranquillity to its inhabitants, the Lord Chief Justice recommended Counsel to accommodate matters between the parties, and that both should consent to withdraw a juror. He ob. served, that as a verdict for even nominal damages would not be given, no inference prejuoicial to the character of the defendant could be deduce-1 from this arrangement. In these views of his Lordship, Counsel on both sides coincided, and a juror was in con sequence withdrawn. PICRLIIIGILL V. THWAVTIII. Mr. fiCTCHINION opened the pleadings. The cause of action :nose out of a certain libellous atticle which appeared in the Mum. ing Herald of the 28th of March, 1825, tespeeting the vegetable syrup of De Velnns. The libel was then read " To the numerous Patrons and Friends of the Vegetable Syrup of De Velnos.—ln proportion as this excellent medicine extends its beneficial effects, and increases its just reputation, the artifices of imposture are multiplied, to profit by public credulity. The cele brated Sterne, in speaking of impostures, observes, that the vender of medicines who occasions the death of an individual by taking his boasted remedies, is, in the eye of God, guilty of mur der.' Mr. Canham, under the full conviction of this truth, cannot refrain from expressing his strong indignation at the abominable attempt of an obscure and ignorant individual call mg himself Pickersgill, who presumes to offer for sale some strange mixture, most likely some dangerous or deadly compound made by his employers, and which he has the audacity to call the vegetable syrup of De Velnos. Every man must shudder with horror when he contemplates such cool, such deliberate imposture—such dark and dangerous profligacy. The following fact is fully established : In Berners-street, a boy in the employment of Air. Birch, 39, Charing-cross, eltymist and druggist, bought, by mistake, a bottle of this pretended syrup, of Pickersgill, for the use of a gen tleman in the habit of taking De Velnos. The gentleman, on taking a glass, found himself in a short time extremely unwell, and suspecting in consequence imposition, he ex amined the printed direction sent with the bottle, and dis covered the fraud ; the bottle was immediately sent to Berner's. street, and the spurious preparation is entirelydiffirent (as may be wen there) from the vegetable syrup of De Velnos, prepared by the late Mr. Swainson, and now by his relation and successor, Mr. Canham, who, in mentioning this fact, is guided by no other motive than a desire to protect the unwary from the arts of the un principled till they can be brought to justice." t Mr. Sergeant TADA Y then addressed the Court ; he said he re. gretted that so muc 'me had been occupied in that Court by Cases of libel ;he ho , however, that some benefit would be de rived from this case, though in such a case as that which was last before the Court no possible advantage maid be gained either by the public or the parties concerned. lie considered the public press as a medium fur the discussion of great and important interests, a benefit to the country, and a guardian of those inestimable pri. vileges which we had the happiness to enjoy under our most ex cellent Constitution ; but when it interfered - with private persons, and became a channel to convey to the public matter injurious to private character, it then became a curse, and the worst plagne with which society could be visited. When a libel was merely • written communication from one individual to another, the injury was comparatively trivial ; but when the press became the disse minator of those invidious statement'., the injury was greatly increased, in ecnaequence of its great and extensive circula tion. The event of such an injury could not be calculated. The plaintiff was a seller of this medicine, which was highly es. teemed, and increasing in reputation. The ',earned Counsel then read the article which appeared in the Morning Herald of the 28th March, 1825. In commenting on this article the Learned Counsel observed, that the defendant was by no means sparing of calum. ninus imputations ; he dealt in the most biter invcc.ives, and used every epithet that the MOM malignant malice could suggest. He did not, however, confine himself to general charge+ ; he states a particular case of a boy in the employment of Mr. Birch having bought a bottle of this pretended syrup front Piekeragill, for a gentleman who was in the habit of taking the syrup of De Velnos, and that this gentleman, shortly after he had taken this medicine, " found himself extremely unwell." This was raise; for if the fact could hare been proved, a justification would have been pleaded. But it would perhaps be said that there was no ma licious intention in publishing this libel. No, Gentlemen, said Mr. Sergeant Teddy, they had no view to what profit they might derive from this publication. It was solely for the benefit of the public that it was published ; without any interested motive, they determined to ruin his trade and injure his reputation; bat he (Mr. Teddy) would appeal with confidence to an English Jury, fully satisfied that they would give a verdict that would afford protection to hie client, and damages sufficient to indemnify him for the injury he had sustained. Henry Grey was then called and examined by Mr. lluvcntar sox. I know the shop 136, Strand. I once bought the Strop of De Velnos in that shop. It was sold there, and to the best of my knoaledge it was the only medicine sold there. I live with a chymiet. The shop in the Strand was smell . • larger than the witness box. I know nothing of earthen). I bought the syrup by order. I did not know it was sold at Bemers.street. William Pickersgill. examined by Mr. HIITCHINSOtt—i sold the syrup to Mr. Chapman, in the Strand, and to several chymists in town. My father's business declined almost entirely. shortly after the publication of that article in the Morning Herald. Cross-examined by Mr. Sergeant SPANK tz —1 know Mr. Chap man in the Strand. Sold him and several other chymists in town the Syrup of De Velnos. We began business in November, 11324. I know Mr. IViiite, of Cambridge. My father is not his agent. My father drew up schedules for persons in the Insolvent Debtors' Court.—( This evidence waa objected to as irrelevant ; Mr. Sergeant Teddy said it would be more to the purpose if he drew a cork of a bottle of De Velnos' syrup.)—l do not know that my faller himself manufactured the syrup. I kept no regular ac count of the number of bottles sold weekly. I sold more than fifty. I can positively swear I sold one hundred and fifty. I think I sold as many as two hundred. Ido not recollect the time my father left oft business. I never heard my father say his busi. netts was ruined by Mr. White. I do not know that my father had a dispute with Mr. White. Mr. White may have assisted my father with money. Mr. White did not psy the rent of the house. I never heard my father say that he was agent to Mr. White. Sold about two dozen weekly. The sale *VI increasing. The basiness fell o 0 early in May. Sold for thirteen shillings a bottle. Geor t ic Busby White was called, but did rot appear. 'ergeant SP ANX te then addressed the Jury for the defend. int e said that he was as much Inclined to lament the fre quency of actions of libel in that Court as the Learned Gentleman who stated the case. Leery grade and variety of case of that kind had been lately exhibited. Yesterday they had an important case—the case of a distinguished individual, a Plenipotentiary— that might be termed a case of the first class. The last case, from the rank of the indiaiduals concerned in it, might be called a mid. dling case ; and the case now before the Jury, which was between quack doctors, was the lowest, unless there should be a new case between a scavenger and a dustman. After a case had been tried between two quack doctors, dustmen and scavengers would be the next to come forwanl. The law, like the sun, shone alike on all ; it knew no distinctions in its beneficent provisions; it cast its beams on the quaek doctor anti the plenipotentiary. He was, indeed, wain'', to admit that some degree of blame was attributable to his client in permitting this article to appear, but there was a great difference between matter inserted as au advertisement and that which was more under the control of the editor, and for which he would naturally hold himself responsible. In this case no positive malice had been proved ; there could be no malice felt tewardsPielt cregill.The real object of this action was, by a aide wind.to puff °Mile medicine. This was not one of those mesKeines which had even a patent to protect it, but was enumerated in the 47th of the last King, among other quack medicines; this was ail he had dia_ covered of this medicine In his researches. The real Syrup of Da Vain°s was a good medicine; it was patronised by members of the Bar, and one gentleman in particular derived great advantage from the use of it. His Lordship knew to whom ha alluded. This quack tic.ctor, however, like all other quack doctors, looked only to tile public good; he did not se!' it for his private gain, and re. I edited thirteen shillings per bottle, merely as a kind of /sonar°. slum, and kept the money only as a memorandum to remind him of the good he had rendered mankind. lie drew up schedules' for the Insolvent Debtors' Court. " This wight was boru to dash, and draw— Not wine, but move unwholesome law. " Oh I" said Mr. Pickersgill, " I administered in them a medicine that will cure them of all their maladies." De Velnos' Syrup was also to be a cure for his own pocket. Now, when a man leaked for damages, he ought to belong to some useful calling— " He served apprenticeship when he shut up shop, And tried the public before he tried his drop." Such was the ridicule of Mr. Pope of Ward ; but this than has no such chin: to itidulgance. Ward tried his nostrum on puppies THE BRITISH PRESS. before he pre it to the public: but De Velnos was e good name, and covered a multitude of absurdities. This man kept no books. He went into a shop for six months and then left it, and now says that he is ruined by this publication. The Learned Sergeant, in conclusion, said he thought this no subject tOr damages, and that the Jury should not give more than a farthing damages. The Loan Cuter Jurrics.sumnied up. He raid he hoped this ease would teach editors to be more cautious. They were cer tainly responsible for articles they inserted for money ; and though in the common acceptation of the terms, no malice might appear, yet no greater malice could be evinced than to publish what might be injurious to the character of an individual. Tha editor put himself in ins place of Mr Canham, and was responsible. His Lordship then commented on the nature of the libel, and ►aid that the Jury should take into consideration, in estimating the damages, the injury the publication of such a libel might prodo re. The Jury retired for a few moments, and found a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages ant shilling. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, TunDAT, Esc. 20. Thomas Paghorn bring brought up. was opposed by Mr. Pol lock on the part nt a creditor named Bill, and also by Mr. Cooke for another named Gotobed. . _ Air. HEATH was for the insolvent, who is a clerk in the Comp troller's Office of the Board of Excise, and an officer on the half. pay of the royal attillery. From the facts stated, the insolvent's wife conducted the millinery business, and the opposing creditor gave her credit. The insolvent stated, that his wife had surrep titiously taken his books and herself off in March last,.and that either of them could prove that there were two debts due to him. His wife lately visited him in prison, hut he refused to see her. Ile supposes, that in addition to money, &e. which she took from him at the time of her departure, she also got all the good deists that were due to the concern. lie estimated her expenses at 2401. in four journeys to Liege, in Flanders. Though these sums were not actually advanced by him, yet they must have been drawn from the common fund. Nrbile his wife and he were absent on imisiness from town, their house In London wan broken open, hut the Grand Jury threw out the bill again/fit the thief. He learned from his wife Mat she had a contingent interest in some harms, and in a mine near Liege. The insolvent's salary from the clerkship at the Ex. cise (which ceased since his imprisonment) was 1001. a year ; and his half-pay VI. A letter read in Court confirmed the cessation of his salary ; but added, that the Corcmissioners might, on petition, restore his situation. The insolvent stated, that throarh a Mr. Gray he had cautioned Mr. Hill to restrict his wife's credit to 301. Mr. Hill however in creased the amount to 1201. He did not see Mr. Hill untll the credit had advanced considerably. Mr. Jonas Gray deposed that he gave the csution to Mr. Hill's managing clerk ( dlr. Turner). Mt. POLLOCK♦ on the part of Mr. Hill, contended that it was insolvent's own fault that he had not gotten the books from his wife ; and the Court WQUIII therefore, he was sure, not allow him to derive benefit from a schedule of which the items were composed on the most vogue surmises. Mr. COOKE, on the pan of Mr. Gotobed, exambinl the insol vent, eho stated that his wife's creditors, among whom was the opposing one, met in last February, when, on the books then pro duced, there appeared good debts of 1081. These, he believed, were collected by his wife since that time, but he did not inquire from the debtors. Before a second meeting of the creditors the in. solvent ascertained that part of the goods furnished were smuggled, and hit situation in the Excise prevented him from proceeding fur ther with the meeting. As Mr. Hill threatened him with conse quences, the insolvent thought it incumbent on him to give infor mation at the Custom-house, and a seizure ensued ; but the insol vent neither received nor expected any benefit from the penalties indicted. Mr. Cool: E insisted that It was imperative on the insolvent to rectify several items in his schedule before he could derive any ad vantage from the Court's decision. Ilir. HEATH thought the opposition was of a most extraordinary description. It wns a curious and anomalous proceeding in a cre ditor to admit in the King's Courts that he trafficked in contraband articles, when honest tradesmen, by competition with such illegal practices, were driven to ruin. It was not attempted to give proof that the insolvent was aware of the debts contracted by his wife. That lie had given adequate caution was, on the contrary, evidently the fact. Mr. Poxxocc, in reply, did not deny that the goods supplied were in some respect contraband, but the insolvent was not entitled to shelter himself, under such a plea, from affording such explsi.a. lions as this Court always deems requisite. He ought to return an account of those debts which were due to his wife, if he would be exonerated from those persons to whom she was indebted. The Co uliTconsidcred that it would be too severe to remand the insolvent under the circumstances which surrounded the present case. To warrant such a course, after the caution alleged, and not disproved to hare been given by the insolvent, and after the occur rences at the meeting of creditors in February, the opponent, of his discharge should have furnished a stronger case than that which they submitted. ilowever, the insolvent's schedule was not drawn in a manner sufficiently precise to enable him with safety to vnuoh on his oath for the contents. He must therefore amend it, and if he chose it was competent for him to do so immediately. The in solvent having alter a short absence complied with the directions of the Court, he was accordingly discharged. Edward Brown, of George-street, Richmond, Surrey, wes next brought up, and opposed by Mr. POLLOCK, on the part of Row and Co., and of Say and Greenfield, and by Mr. Cootie on the part of Mycrs. The Insolvent, examined by Mr. POLLOCK—I have a copyhald interest in a haute. I have also another house. Ido not know what the cost of the building of this house amounted to. Ido not know whether I paid for building 2,0001. or 3,0004 or less. I ex pected the carpenter's work " gratis," as it was done by my father in-law, with whose daughter I got no fortune. He advised me to pull down the old house. After he became childless, he sued me for 8001. as the expenses „in his line. I spent besides 4001. or 6001. I mortgaged that house for 7001. I du not know the time, but the schedule will tell. CHIEF COMMISSIONER—If stated in schedule, you surely should know Insolvent—About 9 years ago. Insolvent's examination continued-1 afterwards mortgaged it for 300!. more to the same persons. The 1.2001. cost of building in cludes both houses. I bold the Image for amount of mortgage to Mr. Broome. I could not pay the interest without difficulty. The house was valued by the surveyor of the Norwich Union Office, and by another person. Dlr. Broome did not know of any transaction between me and my brother. I received from my brother 2861. He is a gentleman—lives on his property. He was brought up as a watchmaker, but did not follow journeywork long. He was since in the coal business. Is not my eldest brother. I mean that he has funded property. Webster, the auctioneer, valued the stock. I kept no account of the value. The money which my brother paid me, I paid away, as also a further sum to 3lr. John Noyes. Mr. Noyes is a gentleman, and lives at Richmond. He is not in business. I never hea rd called my relation. Mr. Pena-one—lli he your brother-in-law ? Insolvent—He married my sitter. I paid him because he was constantly kind to me during the last 12 years in money advances. In about five or six days after I paid him that sum I went to gaol. I admit that I got the goods from Messrs. Say. 1 did not think that other creditors had so good a claim on me as Mr. Nnyea had, for they got various sums from me previously, in the course of our dealings. My brother took up the business I quitted. The goods from Say and Co. were perhaps had after the 30th September, but were agreed for perhaps two or three weeks before delivery. 1 do not know who drew up the agreement between my brother and my. self. I rent a house at Citfilen. I do not know where my wife is ; she may he at Clifden. There is some furniture there ; I did not give an account of it in my schedule, but • broker went to value it. Another peeson lodges in the house. I do not know but my wife carries on the business of a dresa.tnaker ; she has no annuity or property, to my knowledge. James Broome being called for as a witness, and not appearing, after some delay Gertrge Greenhill was examined, and dermal, that he carries on the tallow-chandlery business in Bury-street, St. James's, and that he supplied goods to the amount of 481. to insolvent. These goods were fetched in a bag by the insolvent's order ; they were ordered about a week before. He drknot know of the arrangement be tween insolvent and his brother. He thought it unfair that his goods should be taken in such an underhand way, and therefore lie op the insolvent. =trent examined--I dealt for many years with Messrs. Row and Barry. I paid them thousr.•.ds of pounds; my father dealt with them before ire. I owe, on balance of accounts, more than 1,000/. I paid in part Mr. Noyes's debt of 8001. with the proceeds of the sale to my brasher. James Broome examined-31y wife has the writings of the deed of sale. She paid the purchase money ; she bought it out and out. I said no such thing as that the insolvent had a power of redeeming without my wife's content. Shea Broome and Brown are sister and brother. I consider the sale to have been tot full value. The money was paid to Mr. Griffin, the trustee. John Nom examined.—l live on my property. I lent the in solvent various sums of money to keep him up. (The witoesr was here so affected as to weep.) I should not have asked him for the money, but having sustained two heavy losses otherwise, I was obliged to press him. I know Mr. Griffin, and that the money wax paid to him. I was a builder at the time of sale, anti would not give I,OOW. for the house, because it was so very badly built. The house is held in trust, an that neither Mr. nor Mrs. Broome can yell it. Insolvent paid me 3001. I knew that insnivent's brother had a legacy left to him to: the purpose of setting him up in bu siness. Mr. Cootie, for the creditor Myers, said that his debt was admitted, and there was theretere no occasion of proof. Mr. HEATH thoughttlifferendy, and should like to see Mr. My ers present (Myers, it appears, is on the Continent.) Insolvent examined by Mr. Coolg.—l owe Mr. Myers 331. ; there was no collusion in the arrest. It took place in Holborn. I do not know the arresting officer. I got into the Bench the came day, and the next I presented my petition. Mr. Myers never said he would withdraw hula detainer UtliCSI his amount was paid. I drew outo model for Mears. Barclay and Perkins. It was made of paper and cork ; not worth intrinsically three farthings. I in tended it as a present. I can't tell my claims on the Norwich Union Office. I had an establishment at Bath, but have no in. wrest in it now. My wife's millinery is her amusement. My bro thee was tor a long time in the chandlery business. Mr. POLLOCK said that Mr. Broome had been brought up to /Ando'', in the preseinewse, because hi was reported to have said that it was in the insolvent's power to effect a redemption when ever be pleased. Beeidee, there appeared to be some contradiction in selling a house Tor lees than the sum expended in the building of it, and this anomaly Mr. Broome had reconciled to reason, by the explanation he gave of the state of the structure. As to Mr. Noyes's debt, it was rot,ff;puted ; but Messrs. Say and Greenfield have reason to complain of undue preference shown to him, as the articles that belonged to them were not delivered, but sent for by insolvent's orders when he knew he was in a state of insolvency. Mr. COOKE said that he was induced to curtail his examination, as the chief points had been anticipated by his Learned Friend; but he thought he had good ground for opposition, when the insol vent, on the very verge of insolvency, effected a sale to his brother, and transferred the prodeee to Mr. Noyes, his brother-in-law. He did not impute blame to any person for accepting such a preference, but he considered the insolvent exceedingly reprehensible in giving the opporturity to any oar. Mr. Hien"- it, for the insolvent, replied that it should be mei. deed that Mr. Noyes and Mr. Broome are still large creditors, and !hat the money was in the one case seated in a trustee. Suf. ficient allowance was not made for the state in which the insolvent was plated. lie felt that he could not do as much as he wished, but should do nothing. because in liquidating a debt he could not do so without proving that he acted under the impulse of gratitude? It could not be expected that he would unnecessarily reduce such persons to adopt proceedings at law to compel his compliance, and he surel• should not be censured for contrary con duct. Considering that, in the course of thirty years' dealings, the other creditors hal received money from him at various times, it was not unfair that he should give something to those that were excepted from the previous disbursements. It should also be re membered that the insolvent's brother was left a considerable pee. perty to settle in business. ♦Pith respect to the Roods of Messrs. Say and Greenfield, the transaction was not an isolated one, and it was their fault not to have delivered the goods sooner, as they had been treated for long before. The Cnter COMMMIONER said that the first impression of the ease was decidedly unfavourable to the insolvent, but further investigation considerably altered its effect. It was clear, from the evidence of Mr. Noyes, that lie urged the payment of the sum due to him, order very imperative circumstances ; therefore the insol vent might have paid him without any fraud. The case hears more strongly against the insolvent in respect to else transaction between him and his brother, in which the Messrs. Say and Green field were implicated. There the insolvent was decidedly wrong. He should not have allowed the goods which were ordered In his name to get into the possession of another person. Under this view the zudgment of the Coutt is, that with respect to the debt of' Messrs. bay and Greenfield only, the insolvent shall be confined within the walls of the prison for eight calendar months. POLICE. OLILDRALL, ..... Thomas Gray, who was charged on Saturday with defrauding Mr. Weatrup, a flour dealer, out of two quantities or floor, was brought up for re-examination yesterday, before Mr. Alderman J. J. Smith. After the minutes of the former hearing had been reed over, the Alderman expressed his opinion that the evidence would not sus tain a charge of fraud as to either transaction, and the whole question now was, whether a forgery had been committed by utter ing a fictitious acceptance. Mr. Miller, the solicitor for the prosecution, then called Mr. Westrup into the box, who stated that when the bill for 1001., drawn by the prisoner Gray, had been returned dishonoured, he himself went in search of the acceptor, recording to the direction upon the docoment, at the East and West India Chambers, Fen church-street, but could discover no such place. At the East India Chambers in Leadenhall.street, where he had received the some. reigns for Gray, he found the chambers (on the first floor) had been r:n red by a Mr. Rutledge. The Alderman asked the witness whether Its Bought after the drawer at the same time ? Witness—Yes ; at the place of his business. No. 4. Staining lane ; anti there I was told by Mr. Coster, that Gray was a rogue, and he was afraid I should never get a farthing. Mr. BUTLER. for the prisoner, Asked whether Mr. Wectrup did not know or learn from a Mr. Creed, that such a firm as Bond and CO. had offices at the East India Chambers, and hrd been publish ed in the list of swindlers? The form of this question was objected to ; but in answer to other inquiries, he said he entirely forgot all names as far as re spected the bill which he presented at Gray's request, but he un derstood that the 1001. bill was drawn on tha same party where he had seen the large quantity of sovereigns. Mr. BUTLER then called for the DireetoryoflB24, to show that the firm of Wm. Bond and Co., of the East India Chambers, was no ticed in its pages, but the book was not at hand. Mr. Kilby, the keeper of the East India Chambers, in Leaden !rill-street, during the last four yearn, said he let the offices, No. 13, described by Mr. NVestrup„ to one Rutledge, who occupied them eighteen months. For sonic time the names of Kettle and Co. and Williams and Co. were upon the gate, and afterwards that of William Bond and Co. The latter was upon the gate for nine mouths, at the date of the one hundred potted bill (July), and for two months after. No Mr. Bond was ever pointed out to him. Mr. BtrrLE• contended .hat there was no ground for the fur ther detention of the prisoner ; he had proved that there was such a firm u Bond and Co, and he had expected to be able to produce Rutledge, who had a power of attorney from Messrs. Bond and Co. to accept bills and transact other business for them. He was, however, lie understood, prevented from attending by • fit of the gout. Never were sales more complete, he said, than in the two transactions between Gray and Westrup ; there was no fraud. A flaming report had appeared In the public papers; there were Inaccuracies in the statement, and with the permission of the Alderman he would just put a question to Mr. l'restrup, to do away with the impression it had made. He could see no reason why the character of Mr. Coster should be traduced more than that of any other man. Mr. Westrup was then ea/led, end asked by Mr. Butler whe ther he had not had dealings with Mt. Coster both before and since the transactions with Gray, in which he had received payments ac cording to the agreements ? Mr. Westrup—l never tied any transactions with Mr. Coster ; I newer sold him any thing. Mr. BUTLER—YOU swear that? (with acme surprise) Mr. Westrup—Yes, I do. A gentleman then stepped forward and said, that in consequence of the reports in the newspapers he had brought with him one of Messrs. 11 , nd and . Co. dishonoured bills for twenty-tire pounds, for the purpose of comparing the hand-writirg of the acceptances, which preyed to be dissimilar. The drawer of the bill was one Jacobs, who had taken the benefit of the Insol. vent Act. Mr. Alderman J. J. SMITH expressed a doubt whether Rut. ledge could, under the alleged power of attorney, accept a bill, without stating upon the face of it that the acceptance was by procuration. It was the practice of partners to write the r.ame of the firm simply, but Rutledge did not stand in that relation. After some desultory conversation, the examination was ad. Rurned till to-morrow (this day) a summon s f ur th e a pp earance o f Rutledge being issued, and the prosecutor directed to bring fur ther proof that there was no such firm in renchurch-street as that of Wm. Bond and Co,---the address given upon the bill. BOW-STREET. The driver of the hackney chariot, 695, was summoned for wit fully driving against a cabriolet, and upsetting it. There bare been several instances lately, at this office, of hackney coachmen being tined for driving against cabrioleta, and it has been stated that in consequence of the increase in the number of the latter description of vehicles, the coachmen have declared open war against them. In the present case, the cabriolet was on the stand in Holborn, and was the last la-the rear of the stand, so that the defendant, in crossing the street behind it, must hive had plenty of room to pass it without coming in contact. lhe coachman, how ever, could not let so good an opportunity pass, and he drove his chariot with such force against the wheel of the cabriolet, as corn. pletely to upset it. horse and all, and the driver was rolled in the dirt. The cabriolet was very much dampged. These facts were proved by respectable witnesses, end the coach man having no other defence to make than that be had no recollec tion of driving against any thing, lie was fined 10s. and costs, the highest penalty awarded by the Highway Act. The complainant was told he could recover the amount adenine in another quarter. Emma Vash, the gitl.who was supposed to have beeera,he female fund drowned near Waterloo. bridg e , a f ew d a y s a g o , en whom an Inquest has already Rat, yesterday gave evident tokens of being still alive and merry. She was brought up before the Iklagistrate, ' charged with riotous and disorderly conduct, very unbecoming a dead woman, on Monday right, in the streets, in consequence of which she had previouslybeen taken to the watchhouse no lera than three several times, but had been dismissed as often by the night constable, on a promise of better behaviour. On her fourth ap pearance there the patience oh that enc. r was exhausted, and the modern Vampire was now broin;la up to he laid in the Red Sea, or otherwise secured as their Worships might think advisable, in order to prevent her " Revisiting thus the glimpses of the moon, Making night hideous." Miss Naah's-defence was, that rile was not dead, but tipsy, which being thought an aggravation rather than an excuse, ehe was ordered oft' to the House of Correction for two months. In going out of the office she availed herself of the opportunby ef giving the Watch man a parting blessing, in the shape of a Luc on the ear, which made his eyes flash tire. 11A TTON-GA RDEN. Information was received at this otlice yeatereny of some wavy considerable robberies having been committed I,y pickpockets at the cattle-show in Gnswell-street, Smithfield; in consequence of which an officer was dCIIARCbed to make the necessary inquiries. and to apprehend any suspiciqus characters *lto might be found in the repository. It appears that one gentleman, John Hawkins, Esq. of Baslams, in the county of Hems, has been the princi pal sufferer by this extensive system of depredation. He had on Monday concluded a mortgage, on account of which he received a draught on the house of Messts. Barker and Go. bankers, forfiOnf. which was paid in Dank of England notes; having occasion to call at the Repository won after, he was accompanied by a friend. who cautioned him respecting the money; but Mr. Hawkins having, as he conceived. safely deposited it in his side pocket, paid no attention to this prudent counsel. Soon after entering the Re pository, Mr. Hawkins seas addressed in polite terms by a stranger, whose appearance and manners were so much those of tile gentle man that it was impossible to have supposed him anything else. Aker some cursory remarks on the beauty of the cattle, the good effects resulting from annual exhibition*. &c. the stranger invited Mr. Hawkins to ge up stairs and see the machinery ; the crowd here was eacemere, and Mr. Ilawkins soon after lost sight of his obliging friend, and on leaving the room he, ti dismay, perceived that the pocket-book had vanished at ail events with some of his confederates. Ina few mi wards another gentleman declared himself a loser of third of 1061. all by the same sort of stratagem. I: officer, with the assistance of the ',wish constables, dctai searched several suspicious charseters, but without effc party having, as is customary in such Mitt, been it transferred to other hands, and as instantaneously remov, the spot. The numbers of the notes bring known, pay. stopped at the different banks, and the officers of the establishments are on the look out for the thieves. QUEEN-SQUARE. Yesterday, nomas Roots, a private in the 15t hsi 3d regiment of guards, was brought up, charged wit and aggravated assault on Mr. W. Graham. of Graham and Stocke, the pawnbrokers, in Tuthill-1m preceding evening.

The defendant, on being questioned, admitted being a little le liquor, said he knew the woman, and was only just shaking ita. while asking the complainant what business he had to interfere witk him. or the girl, and denied his ever striking Mr. Graham.
