Previous to the departure of the lietsep from Prince of Wales's Island, Captain Grant, and the crew of the Strathspey, arrived there, in the ship's boat. having been wrecked in the Straits of Co. long. The Malays had compelled Captain Grant to give a written declaration of tile surrender of the ship to them, His Majesty's ships. the Carairae and Harrier, were dispatched immediately, to re cover, if possible, the Strathspey. The Dutch prizes remain at Prince of Wales's Some difference had taken place reopening the bargain of the cargo of captured spices, on whi.h account it was said, that the Dutch lndiaman.

LAW INtIftLIOESCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, M , PPI DAT. GNUS 1. Ez-perie JOH r soOl, a Bankrupt'. The Petitioner, Mr. Johnson, the bonnier, movvi the Court, through Sir Sa MCCL llomit.ty, t be discharged out of the custody of the Warden of the Fleet Prison. on the ground of having been taken, by the Depu:y Warden, sc.the time back, as he was re:urning from his examination before the Commissioners of Bankrupts, before whom be at tended, under and by virtue of an order from the Lord Chancellor, for enlarging the time for hit snb mi-sion and examination, the forty-two days al lowed for such examination, by law, having elapsed berate he had finished such examination. The im portance of this case to all the unfortunate class of bankrupts, is great, and the circumstances of it in e.emselves are interesting, in ie :ouch that Mr. Justice Le Blanc sat with the Chancellor to deliver his opinion as to the law pat t of the question, and Counsel on both sides argued with force and seal. It was contended, on behalf of Mr. Johnson, that having obtained an OrJer under the Great Seal to surrender and be examined, after the usual time, in consideration of his services abroad, he came under the con,straftion and intent of the Aft of Parliament of the sth of George 11. which empowers the Lord Chancellor to enlarge the time of forty two days, to fifty days longer, or to such further time as the Chancellor may, in Mt discretion, think fit, and that it was common to make orders in such cases for a year, or other longer time, in ewes of persons being derainedsahroad ; that it was a privilege allowed to the era:tors; awd n , t.tirs the bankrupt himself ; and that the Aft of George 11. could not firmly be con strued to mean a limitation of the Chancellor's power to fifty days only, against the express words in a subsequent clause, granting him discretionary power in ail such cases. Cases were cited to chew that arrests made in this way, were held to be a con tempt of this Court ; and the bailiffs so arresting, upon refusing to discharge the bankrupt, were com mitted to the 1• leer ; and in the cafes of Hawkins, John King, and others, in particular, it was ruled, that not only the first arrest or detainer laid in such cases was illegal and privilege, such privi lege being both special un.ier the All of Parliament, and general or °Hemel in this Court, but that all the subsequent detainers Inid against the party in the interim, were likewise void, and followed the fate of t-,e first detainer. On the other si'Jr it was contended, that the order of the Court W'Ai not mandatory on the Bankrupt, but merely permiss.ve, giving hem power, if be would, to surrender and submit to examination, and that such order did in no case do away the capital felony previously committed by any Bankrupt who commits wilful default, refuses to make discovery, or conceals twenty pounds. It was also contended, that bail may arrest their principal in his way to the Courts, and produca him for examination, it sub pccaad as a%Vitness ; but that if the Bankrupt wet e at large when coming in to surrender, the officer arresting him was liable to flee pounds per day, during h's de:en:ion of him, and chat the Bar.krup: might have h s Wr , t of [Met,: C uriair ac the same time, n. tw C.stand ng such penalty aga i nst the officer. An application had been made to Lord Erskine in this case, who recommended an applica tion to the Court of King's Bench for an Halts& Corms, which was refused. the Lot d Chief Justice having stated that if it was a contempt at ail, it was a contempt of the Coat t of Clammy. Mr. Justice La BLAsc here gave his opinion on the AO of Parliament and common practice of the Law, and said, that tl e time intended by the Sta tute, only extended to 02 days—that Creditors might arrest the Bankrupt, or take him up under an escape warrant, and so might a gaoler. The CHAMCCLLoa said, that Johnson was not taken up by any Creditor, but that tieing where it was not com petent for him to own or avow himself to be at the time he Was taken up, there appeared no contempt of this Court in the case. The notion was ?clop el. COURT OF KISG'S lALNCti. %Vairmixsna, .Ives 1. Tilt ICING E. CORERT WILLIAM!. This w.ss a rule for a ctiminsl intormat:on against the PeCentlAnt, a Welsh Attorney, tor a libel upon the Guns' Jury ot the county ot Mon mouth. The ATTCIIINIGY•GgiInAL chewed cause this , day against that rile, and, after a few observations, he said, the better mode would be for the Officer to read the affidavits on both sides, without any ani nsadversions upon his part, and the Court would teen be able to decide the question fairly. TIN proper Officer accordingly proceeded to read first the affidavits on the part of the prosecution, which sat forth the circumstances of a bill of indiEt ment being preferred again,: one Benjamin But tery, fora misdemeanour, on which occasion the Defendant Was agent f* the prosecution ; the cir. cumstances of the Grand Jury going to dinner, and causing it to be proclaimed, that they would return at seven o'clock, to transa& the remaining business ; the Grand Jury's calling for the Defendant at that hour, and his stating that his witnesses were all gone away ; the Jury waiting upon the Judge, for his Lordship's diretlions, under these circum stances, and hit Lordship's slireaion o them to Indorse the bill of instiftrrient—" not found ;" their subsequent dismissal, and the Defendant's conduit and expressilnis the next cay, when, alluding to the proceedings of the Grand Jury, he said, it was a dis graceful and blackguard tiansaaion altogether: that Philport (an attorney) was at the bottom of it all, and if it was in his power he would punish the Grand Jury, who had come there as gentlemen, but were nothing more than hl tchguards, and had seed in that manner to defeat the object of his indiftment. On the part of the Di tendanc, his Users affidavit was first read ; it stated, that he had caused the Bill of indictment, in question, to Le preferred against ese said Benjamin Buttery, for extorting money from one Elizabeth Nlitrgan, and had it carried into the Grand Jury, for ;heir consideration ; 4 the same time he spoke to Mr. Thomas Stowton, One of the Jury, to here the business expedited, as Isis witnesses ha ! borne distance to go. He and his witnesses remained at the door of the Grand Jury Room for up.s.a.fs of six hours, until the Jury went to dinner. tie had repeatedly, during that time, requested the foreman to call in his witness*, and us promised h- should he expedited without delay, but never ' 4, • • • •• told hint they had deferred the ieadinw of his diament until 'after dinner. He was afterward, in. formed, and verily believed, that the said Mr. Stowton, and Mr. .lames Austin, another Juryman. repeatedly urged the 'Jury Co proceed with his In. dietnient, but to this no sat►tfa9ory answer' was given, nor any reason aisirned for putting it off. He WIS also told, that ho had some enemies upon the Grand Jury, and that Mr. Thefisas Griffin Phill pot, an attorney, had made every exertion against htrn to throw out the sill. Ile WAS further assured, mad &chief, told, that the Jury would not me.: again that evening. bat the nett morning, at ten oclock; be, accordingly, sent his witnesses away, and when he next came. he finiii4 the Grand Jary had been dismissed. He denied, most positively, having heard say thing of the adjournmrnt until seven o'clo:k in the evening, and was corroborated in this, as well by Messrs. Stowton an' Austin, as by all his Witreises, arid several other persons. Much exosperated at this, he admitted he did sa.7. it was a disgraceful and biackguard transaction, bn: denied meaning any disrespedi to the Grand Juty. This affidavit further set forth, that some of the Jury had been attorneys and tax gatherers. and ore of them a person of no ; r .pe; ty in tha;ecunty. fd , r also stated, that the offence upon which tare lndih ment was preferred, having been committed in bosh the counties of Hereford and Monmouth, he pre. leered another Bill of Indiamont in the former county, which was immediately found. The Officer was then proceeding to read the affi davits of Messrs. Stowton and Austin, Corroborating most of the above fads, when Mr. G A R Rove, for the prosecution, obj4led to the re.ding them, upon the grounds that the Grand Jary being solemnly sworn to keep the secrets of themselves and fellow-jury men, aiid these affidavits going to discover those deliberation: and transaftions, which should be kept inviolably secret, they could not possibly be read. _ _ _ Lord Etteitsosoccit observed, that she disclo sure of these crania/lions would be a violation of their oaths as Grand Jurymen, a: , .d the Court could not'dpen their mouths without destroying the very principles non which their fundions rested. The affidavits of several other persona were ad- mitted to be read, II of which corroborated most of the has stated by the Defendant himself. After some general observations on both sides, Lord ELLINIOROVOH said, that taking all the cir cumstances into consideration, the Court were of opinion that justice would be best adm:nistered t 3 all parties, by discharging the rule, with costs. against Mr. %Villiams At the same time he wished it to be understood that no indiesn tnt sit uld bit preferred against Mr. Williams; and the most pru dent way for all parties would be to drop all fur• ther proceedings. THE KING V. JA WES THIODUCE. Mr. Gas sow sheared cause against this rule for a gay rsarriPite to slew why the Defendant exercised the office of one of the Commonalty of the Borough of Thetford. After bearing Counsel, at Gres' ierTh, ott bolt sides, the Court deterred their final judgment till a future day. . 7 LINTON v. PHIPPS. The Arrotessr-Gssea sr. and Mr. Toerreci 'hewed cause at great length in this ease, agrinst a Rule obtained by Mi. Darrow, calling upoi Mr. Edward ltushworth, an Attorney, to en-wer ti e matters of an affi.lovii relating to sevtral q4i tern sorties, upon the Game Laws, wherein Mr. Rests worth was charged with being the real Plaintiff in all there affirms, which were brought by him solely for his own benefit and advantage. Several affidavits were read, exculpa:ing Mr. Rushworth from these charges, and stating, mo,t explicitly, that he nerelp acted as Alorney for Oa Prosecutors, and derived no profit or emolument whatever from them, save and except what he was entitled to as Attorney for the prosecution. Mr. Gaaauw was proceeoing to support the original Rule, when the Court postponed the lux ' then consideration till a future day. GORDON IN SICR ET AN. The Arsonstv-Gcscam. obtainzd a conditional Rule for a new trial in this case, which was tried at Guildhall the last Sittings. as reported in a former Paper. upon three grounds; first, a void policy. the Plaintiffs having an interest upon the whole, where they were only entitled to two tllirdi; se condly, upon the prodaftion of an agreement. which was contend.d to be sufficient without fur ther pool; and lastly, on the grounds of surprise, the party not being prepared to prove the hand wiitidg of the witnesses to said agreement. 0111•01 and •Tllllls9. CtSII. Mr. Neat also obtained a eonditinnal Rule for a new trial in this case, likewise tried at Guildhall, of which we have given a report. The applicntirm was grounded upoe the Register AA, which required that the bill of Sale and the Certificate 61 Registry' should be at the SAM, duet whereas, in this case, the Cc-talc:ate nt Registry was dated one month, subsequent to the Bill of Sale.
