LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, TUESDAY, MAY 30. IN THE MATTER OF •IR GREGORY PACE TITANER-. The LORD Crtawcsum' said, that he had received a letter from Dr. Burrowes, which he intended to have brought with him, but he had forgotten to do so. The purport of the letter, accord ing to the best of his recollection, was, that he had not wished to represent to the Court that Sir G. P. Turner was of sound mind, neither did he wish to represent him as being of unsound mind, nut having had a satisfactory opportunity of ascertaining the point. This RIA very important, though he did not mean to say that it was derisive of the question of traverse or no t Mr. Ta ESLOV E said that the affidavit of Dr. Burrowes stated ex pressly that at present he could not discover any delusion or imbe cility of mind in Sir G. P. Turner. Mr. HEALD wished that his Learned Friend would sire the eir rJmstances upon which it was his intention to rely. The degree of weight which ought to be given to the letter of Dr. Burtowes would be seen when the letter was read hereafter. Mr. TRE3LOVE lAid that it was the wish of Sir G. P. Turner that he might be allowed to try the traverse, as all of his witnesses had not been examined. The Loan CHANCELLOR desired that the names of the wit- Ot.SSe3 who had not been examined might be given to him. It ap pcsrel to him, that to try a traverse or supersedeas without some circumstances being adduced, or without a hope of altering the verdict, was nothing less than throwing away the property of Sir G. P. Turner. or suffering persons to take advantage of him in a case in . which he could derive no possible advantage. Mr. HEALD wild, that he could scarcely imagine that the mere wish of Sir Gregory Page Turner was such " special circum stance" Al the Act of Parliament contemplated. The LORD CHANCELLOR desired that the case might be men toned to him again on Thursday next. YOUNG iND WITH. 31r. Pra els stated that this was a petition upon the cart of the guardian. of an infant, a ward of the Court, who eloped from school at the age of sixteen, and was married to ■ person named Stephens, at Gretna Green, praying that a reference might be made to the Master as to a proper settlement. Mr. BICE ERSTETU, on the part of the next of kin, expressed a hope that his Lordship would not agree to make such a reference as a mere miner of course subsequent upon a marriage celebrated under such circumstances, and even the legality of which might well be doubted. Ihe 140111 CHANCELLOR asked how old the gentleman might be ? Mr. PURVIS said thst he did not know the age of the gentleman. The LottD CHAIM EL Loa said, that the first reference should be to ascertain whether the parties were really married, before it was possible to grant a reference as to a settlement. Mr. Putters assented, and said that lie would take an order for a reference to that effect. The LORD Crt Awe t:xxon said, that he idstitil l also like to sea the gentleman when the subject came again betnte hint. COURT OF RING'S BENCH, TrzsoAY, MAY 30. The Court was occupied until three o'clock in herring arguments on special cases, which were of no public importauce whittler. TIIE BOIOVGII OT . MON MOU TH. )Ir. TArwrow moved for a rule to thew cause why a manda mus should not issue, directed to John Hughes and Charles Heath, a printer of Monmouth, who had assumed to themselves the fune tidos of Mayor and one of the Bailiffs of that borough; and also to John Jones and Clint les Williams, who had assumed to themselves the office of Mace-burets ; commanding them to deliver up to the real Mayor and the real mace-bearcrs. the Corporation books, paper., records, the common seal, the key of the corporation cheat, and the maces of the borough of :Monmouth. The Learned Colloid stated that this borough had long been distracted by the party feuds of a number of persons, who Billed themselves the " inde pendent Party," and as there were now two sets of officers exercising the functions of Mayor and Bailin, in the town of Monmouth. it was highly desirable that the present state of things should be put an and to. The last Mayor having been mated by a qao warrant°, a mandamus issued last Easter Term, comneandlog the Corporation to proceed under the Statute to the election of a new Mayor, two Bailiffs, and a Coroner, sdt titr old ones baying been ousted. The ejection was fixed for the 27th of Apia ; attl accordingly when the gentlemen under whom the tuna fide Mayor. Dr. Bevan, was elected, went into the Crown Court, for the porpose of obeying the mandamus, they found to eb e i r astonishment that a Mr. Ilesrkiali Swift was seated in the place which the pre s iding officer ought to occupy. They attempted to enter, huts tumult ensued ; force was used against them, anti finally, they were obliged to proceed to the election of the present bonatfide officers in the Civil Court, at the other end of the Guild hall. In the interim, the independent par.) , pretended t 3 elect the persons against whom the present application was made, to the Wets of 3layor, Bailiff, and Mace-bearers. There was nut the ifillitielt pretence for their Instating on the validity of that election. and the present application wan for a mandamus to command them to deliver up the public pro,.:rty of the Corporation, which they lawleo , ly restrained: Tit E 1.0.113 CII lEr JUST tce—Take a role to show cause. Nothing further transpired in Court of any public importuner. - - COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, TUESDAY, MAY 30. iSittingn in Banco.] SILLICK V. BMITII. This was an action of trover, tried at the last Sittings, to recover eighty hogsheads of sugar from the %Vest India Pock Company of which the defendant la the treasurer. There were two other de fendants. who had indemnified the Company : a verdict was given for the defendant Smith, and against the other two. Mr. Sergeant VAUGIII.O: this day moved to enter a verdict for the plaintiff, on the ground that, although the action was not brooght within three months, agreeable to the terms of 39th Geo, 111., a:ill that the act done by the Company was not in pursuance of that Act, and consequently they were not protected by it. Ile conceived the intention of the Legislature to be to limit the acts done to those necessary for the construction of the docks, and for the completion of which it was necessary to give them eaten. give powers. The Counv were of opinion that the Act, both in spirit and letter, extended to acts done by the Company generally : the words were, "nn action shall be brought, without first . giving fourteen days' notice" of any injury sustained ; nor could it be maintained if not brought within three months. The question was of great importance to the public; but there could not be a doubt respect ing the intention of the Legislature. Rule refused. SNOW AND OTHERS v. SADLER. This was an action of trover, brought by the plaintiff., who are hankers, against the defendant, a horse-dealer, to recover a 30!. Bank-note. The note in question was stolen from the plaintiffs' porter, in the month of September. 11324, and was taken by the defendant in September. 1023. It was proved on the trial. which was before the Lord Chief Justice, in London, that the defendant admitted either having received the note from his bankers, or in payment of a bet with some permit whom he did not know, at the St. Leger races. Dcmeaster. The Lord Chief Justice charged !he Jury to find whether the defendant, in taking - the note, had or had not exercised a due caution. Mr. Sergeant {Wilde tendered a bill of exception to his Lordship, on the ground that there was not evidence of a want of caution. Mr. Sergeant I91Ln:: now said, that the defendant waived the bill of exception, but instructed him to move lOr a rule to shew cause why a new trial should not be granted. Ile contended that it was proved the defendant admitted he did not know of whom he received the note: but it did not follow that he did not at the time know of whom he received it : he might have known the indi vidual then, though he did not now that he was challenged. The LORD CutEir JUSTICE—The evidence was, that the de fendant admitted he took the note, betting with strangers. Mr. Sergeant IV/I.DE slid, they must refer to the nature of the !ransaction. lie believed it was a common thing for pople to bet with individuals whom they did not know. Another point he would submit to the Court was, that the defendant did not take the note till more than a twelvemonth after it was stolen. The 1.01111) CIIIET JUSTICE—YOU must nay the costs. Mr. sergeant Wtt.tc-1 tear l must, my bord. The Lotto Cutts Jorrice—This will involve a discussion uto whether bets me legal or not. I was afraid of deciding this during the Epsom Races. (A laugh.) Rule Nisi granted. PASCOE V. Wit IGHTER. Mr. sergeant In LDE moved, on affidavit, for a rule to chew cause why the nonsuit in this CIAe should not be set aside and a new trial granted, on the ground of a Inmerial witness having refused to be present at the trial ; and also for a rule to show cause why the witness should not be attached. The affidavits stated that the witness, being served with a subpoena, refused to attend unless his expenses were paid, he living in the country, and the deponent thereupon gave hint 201., which he received; notwithstanding this he was absent. _ The LOAD CHIEF JUSTICE—Take both rules. HARRIETTE WILSON'S MEMOIRS. EISIIER STOCKDALE: Mr. Stockdsle apPe;etiiip;;l;; floor of the Court with a great mass of papers. Ile said he wished to make a motion, if their Lordships would permit him. The CotraT, after a short delay, occasioned by the Lord Chief Justice stepping out, desired him to commence. Mr. Stockdale accordingly proceeded, occasionally reading from his voluminous papers, and occasionally delivering himself extern poraneously. He began by saying, that lie should not offer any apology for exercising the undisputed right which every English man possessed, of conducting, if he pleased, his cause in person. In the sittings after last Easter Term, he was defendant in an ac tion for an alleged libel, tried before the Lord Chief Justice, when the Jury found for the plaintiff most unprecedented damages. He should now move for a rule to shew cause why the verdict should not be set aside and a nonsuit entered, or why a new trial should not he granted. In support of his motion to set aside the verdict, he would observe, that it was suited in evidence on the trial that the plaintiff had been married for a long apace of time, 31 years, and that he had had eight children, three of whom were living. Now, it was incumbent on the plaintiff to prove that he was a legally married man, according to the forms of this country. This he had not done. The only proof he had of was the production of a book, in which was registered a certain marriage which took place 31 years ago between two individuals, named Hugh Evans Fisher and Elizabeth Farrar. The hand-writing was not proved by the sub•cribing witness, but by one Marshall, who said he believed the writing in the register to be the plaintiff's. This witness also proved that the plaintiff had only three children, and it was set out in the declaration that he had eight. Ile believed it was always held that a fact must be proved by the hest possible evidence. lie contended, therefore, that the plaintiff ought either to have pro duced the subscribing witness to the register, or have shown that he was dead, and then proved hisl hand-writing. He thought in point of law he was entitled to nonsuit the plaintiff', he having set out that he had eight children, and it was proved that he had only three. Another point to which he should call the attention of the Court was the description of the plaintiff'. This individual's name was Hugh Evans Fisher, but the name affixed to the alleged libel was Charles Frederick Fisher. One of the witnesses on the trial said he believed the plaintiff was the person meant in the libel. The testimony of this witness, however, was not to be particularly relied on, for he had not lived at Lyme Regis more titan half a year. If, however, he should be able to show that Mr. Fisher had quitted Lyme Regis two years before the publication of the libel, and that he had lived at Bath and subsequently in London, he thought he should show sufficient to prove that the present plaintiff was not the person alluded to in the Memoir,. If he were allowed, he could explain how it was that this witness was brought against him. His name was Ponsonby, and he was carver and gilder to the King ; and from a correspondence he had had with Lord Ponsonby— The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE—We cannot htar this. Mr. Justice PARE —WC must not allow you to publish fresh libels. _ . _ _ . . . ...,...... Mr. Stockdale said he would refer to another point, as a further proof of the plaintiff not being the individual meant. AD. Fisher was spoken of as the Devonshire attorney, - and Lyme Regis was in Dorsetshire. Ile thought he had now shown sufficient grounds for a nonsuit ; but if he had not, he should proceed to state what be thought would entitle him to a new trial. The charge of the Lard Chief Justice was calculated to inflame the minds of the Jury, and excite such a prejudice against him as to induce them to give to the plaintiff excessive damages. The Jury had bean addressed by Mr. Sergeant Vaughan in a style of great virulence. That gentleman had described him as worse than a highwayman ; and if lie might, he should like to ascribe to this address what he considered to be its motive. Many years ago Mr. Sergeant Vaughan was engaged as Counsel against him, and— Mr. Justice PARK—We cannot permit this. Mr. Steckdale Snid he did not wish to take any liberties with the Court. Some reference was made by Mr. Sergeant 1 Vaughan to his (Mr. Stockdalc's) defence to a previous action, brought against him by his printer; and it was said his defence was, that the work was of too abominable a nature to enable the plaintiff to recover. When this was about to be answered by Mr. Sergeant Wilde, who was his Counsel in that cause, but who was now against him—when that Learned Gentleman was about to dis claim that this defence was made with his (Mr. Stockdale's) know ledge), he was stopped by the Lord Chief Justice, who promised to direet the Jury to dismiss from their minds any prejudice that i such a statement might be calculated to create. Ilia Lordship, however, neglected to do this; and, instead. charged him with libelling all that was "great, noble, and amiable in the country," I with a view to gct:ing hush-money. When his Lordship was pre i siding over a libel cause, it did not appear just that he should allow his feelings—he would not say prejudices, bemuse that would be an expression used in reference to any other person, in any other place—to hold him (Mr. Stockdale) tip as an nutlaw,ultom it would be an advantage to destroy. The charge of his Lordship was cal culated to inflame the minds of the Jury, and induce them to ex terminate, to stamp him as an outcast of soc'ety. Ile thanked Mr. Sergeant ‘Vilde for the candid mantiet in which he disavowed that he had received instructions from him (Mr. Stockdale) to make the defence he hail to the claim of the printer. He would rather have sacrificed 20,0110 f. than that the effect this statement had on tile public mind should have been preduced. Such a defence was highly dishonourable; and when Ise heard of it, he said, that it never with his consent should have been resorted to, even if In carceration in a prison for life hail been the consequence. The fact was, the plaintiff had nommited himself without such a defence. Mr. Justice PARK—We Cannot hear that which refers to an- other cause. 111 r. Stockdale—lt was introduced in the last cause against me. alr. Justice PARK—But we cannot grant new trials on such grounds as these. I Mr. Stockdale—The damages were enhanced on that very I ground. Mr. Justice Pant—How do you know that ? Mr. Stockdale—From the newspaper reports, and from persons who were in the Court during the trial. He had just thanked Mr. Sergeant Wilde for his handsome address, though— Mr. Sergeant IVILnE said the defence lie made on the trial to which Mr. Stockdale alluded, was not made without the Attor ney's arsuieseence, though Mr. Stockdale had certainly not given instruction, to that effect. Mr. Justice Pants said, Mr. Stock dale had not yet stated any specific grounds for his motion, either as regarded excessive da mages, or the evidence. The libel even was not yet before the Court. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE aaid he had the libel amongst his notes, and he would read it. His Lordship proceeded to read the' libel, and said he told the Jury that any thing which had a ten dency to bring a ;triune individual into ridicule was libellous; MIME THE BRITISH PRESS. but the question here was, whether it was not a libel to Impute to 3 man with a family of children, the youngest of whom was nine teen, that he indulged his passions to the greatest extent his consti tution would permit. Mr. Stoekdale said he should now refer to the excessive da mattes of the Jury. One witness (Marshall) proved the residence of the plaintiff' at Lyme Regis ; but he had affidavits to show that Mr. Fisher wild all his business, and left Lyme Regis, two years before the publication of the libel. The Loan CHIEF J usT ICE said the plaintiff could have pro duced the roll of the Court, to show that there was no other at torney of the Court of the name of Fisher. Mr. Justice PARK said the libel itself admitted that the plaintiff was a married man. The Lon° CHIEF JESTIEE said, one of the witnesses at the trial swore that there was no attorney hut Hugh Evans Fisher re siding at Lyme Regis, and he had no doubt but that.this was the pert an referred to in the libel. Mr. Stockdale said, this witness only went to Lyme Regis once a year. and he said that Mr. Fisher now resided there, which the af fidavit denied. Then there was the marriage of Mr. Fisher. Mr. Justice PARR.—It was laid down by Lord Mansfield, that the only civil action in whieh it is necessary to prove marriage, is for criminal conversation. In all other causes cohabitation and the admission are sufficient. Mr. Stockdale.—The admission must apply to Charles Frederick Fisher. Mr. Justice PARK—That is a question of fact which the Jury have decided. Mr. Stockdale—lf he had a new trial he could contradict the statement that Mr. Fisher lives at Lyme Regis, Mr. Justice linnuourm—Every body who goes the circuit knows that he practise.; there. I know it myself. - Mr. Stockdale—l presume your Lordship did not give evidence to that effect. 111, affidavit shows that he does not now reside there. The LORD (THIEF Just 'cc—Have you any affidavit that you were surprised by the evidence ? Unless you have we cannot grant a new trial. Mr. Justice Pane said, the Court would not receive docu mentary evidence of simple facts, when they might be matter of rive rare evidence. Mr. Stockdale referred the Court to his grounds fora nonsnit. The Loan enter JUSTICE—YOU cannot have a nonsuit,' be cause there were no points saved for you by your Counsel at the trial. Mr. Justice PARE said he had already stated that there were no grounds Itir a nonsuit. It was not necessary that the marriage should be proved. Nei:Ler was it of any consequence whether 111 r. Fisher had eight children or not. 111 r. Stockdale said the greater the numberof children, the greater would be the damages. Mr. Justice GAZELEE said the points must have been taken at the trial. There was no objection made then to the marriage of .11r. Fisher not having been proved. The dissimilarity between the two names was a matter of fact to be left to the Jury. As regarded the children, the declaration merely set out, that the plaintiff had " divers children, to wit, eight.' The word divers rendered it quite immaterial whether there were more or less titan that number. Mr. Stockdale said if he must abandon the nontsuit, he would refer to the new trial, on the ground of excessive damages. Ile had an affidavit to show that Mr. Fisher did• not take out a certificate for the years 1822 and 1823. His Lordship had referred to a list of names on the cover of the Memoirs, and said they were printed to extort hush-money from individuals who might prefer paying to being shown up in the subsequent numbers. These names, how ever, were given as the contents of the current number, and not as what were to be the contents of any number about to be published. He would hand tip the numbers three and live that his Lordship might satisfy himself on this head. The Loan CHIEF JUSTICE—Hand me up the number in question, Sir; not any other numbers. Mr. Justice PARK—Oa the cover of the number containing the libel, there are the names to he introduced in the next number, are there not ? Does not this number tell people what they are to ex pect for the future ? Mr. Stockdale admitted that in this number it did happen so ; but this was the only one. To refer to the question of excessive damages, there was not a scintilla of evidence as to Mr. Fisher's character. The Loan CHIEF JUSTICE—I must tell you, that if there had been, it would not have been received. It was open to you to show that his character was not good, which you might have done by pleading a justification. Stockdale said he applied for time, to ascertain how far he might be able to plead a justification ; but Mr. Justice Iturrough refused to grant it, saying that a justification to a libel could nut be pleaded. (Great laughter.) The Loan CHIEF JusTicr. believed he could turn this into common sense for him. Isle. Justice Iturrough must have said, that he thought lie would have some difficulty jn pleading a justi fication to suck a libel ns this. Mr. Stocktlale said he could put in a copy of his attorney's letter, telling him that the application for time was refused. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE—There was probably no pretence for giving time. Mr. Stockdale said it was not stated in the declaration that Mr. Fisher was an attorney at Lyme Regis, or any other place, and he must contend, therefore, that nn evidence of that fact ought to have been received. Tili3 was ruled by the Lord Chief Justice of the Ring's Bench, and he had suffered severely by it. This was an action of trespass, and the evidence related to some gates opening to the high road ; but his Lordship refused to take it, because there was nothing about gates in the declaration. He hoped the Court would not allow one law to be established in one place, and another law in another. He contended that the charge of the Learned Judge, without any foundation, precedent, or evidence to support k, was calculated to inflame the minds of the Jury. He would tell them how the manuscript came to be 'placed in his hands. Harriette Wilson called on him, and requested him to edit it but he told her he could do better for her than that by pub ' fishing it. (A laugh-) She said she should not have come to him but she had not a friend in the world. (Great laughter.) lie had an affidavit of tome letters received from the plaintiff. Mr. Justice PARK said the time of the Court could not be so OC. cupied. Mr. Stockdale said he did not know how to proceed. Mr. Justice PARK—You do not want understanding, Mr. Stock. dale. You cannot, excepting on affidavit of surprise, bring any thing before the Court which was not before it at the trial. Mr. Stocktlale submitted that these proceedings were instituted entirely against him to plunder him of the property he had paid for—the copyright. It was stated by the plaintiff in this action, that he never knew a person of the name of Harriette Wilson, and that he never had any communication with her. It was therefore on his own showing impossible that he could he the individual meant In the libel. Some very strange expressions had fallen from tha Lord Chief Justice, in his charge to the Jury, ns regarded the mo rality of the work. God in Heaven knew that he (Mr. Stockdale) conscientiously considered it highly moral. (A laugh.) He looked upon it as the greatest possible check on the vices it enumerated. (Great laughter.) lie should like to refer to another work, which was the work of a divine, and yet detailed greater excesses than these memoirs ; but which was nevertheless considered a moral work. Perhaps, their Lordships would direct him how to proceed. The Lout) CIIIEF JUSTICE—GO on ; we will check you when you are wrong. It is our province to hear, not to direct you. Mr. Stockdale then proceeded to read a long extra:t from the Anti-Jacobin. An objection had been made to the names being given in the Ilfcww!ra ; but Mr. Justice Bayley had once expressed a very strong opinion on the subject of giving names : whether he would do so now or not he could not say. Had the work been in dicted there might have been some excuse for designating it as it had been. The effect of the prejudice which had been excited against him was beyond all human calculation ; if he had not been conscious of its injustice, his mind must have sunk under its weight. (A laugh.) He had now offered the grounds of his motion, and he should conclude, relying with confidence on impartial jus tice to himself and his wife, and family of twenty-two children—on whom, in his person. would be infltcted a deadly wound, if he were denied it. Should the latter be the ease, he intended applying to the framers of the laws which the Judges were appointed to oarry into execution ; and. as a last resource, he should apply to the Throne itself. _ _ The Loan Cuter Ju ST ICE—I think the grounds of this appli cation are as absurd as the publication is infamous. Mr. Justice Poise thought there were no grounds for the Court to interfere. They had already expressed their opinions on the nonsuit. He had listened with a great deal of attention to all which had relation to the excessive damages. The Court always required very strong cause for granting new trials, on account of damages. He could not say, in the present instance, that he should have given damages to such an amount, but he could not say that he should not. The Jury were the Constitutional judges of what ought to be given in such uses; but it was said their ver dict was delivered under great irritation. On referring to the libel, he thought there was quite sufficient to account for the conclusion they had come to. In his opinion, it was of a most gross nature. •lt affected the plaintiff, not as an attorney merely, bin as a moral man. He did not think there was much to offer in the way of mi. tigation, when they referred to the wrapper, and saw there the most illustrious names in the kingdom whose characters were tra duced. Ile was not bound to inquire what the private characters of these individuals were ; but until they were proved to be defec tive, theyinust be considered as good. here were a hundred indi viduals assailed, including members of the highest families. Mr. Stockdale had asked why his work had not been indicted ? but Mr. Fisher hed pursued the best course. Individuals were at liberty to publish what they pleased; but they did so at their own hazard. The defendant had an opportunity of putting a justification on the record, but had not been able to do so. He said he had a family of 22 children. In his (Mr. Justice Park's) opinion, it was peculiarly the duty of a Christian father not to publish a work which must tend to demoralise society. Mr. Justice BURROVGII said he thought Mr. Stockdale and Harriette Wilms might consider themselves fortunate in having escaped being prosecuted for a conspiracy. He could not discover the least grounds for the motion which had been made. Mr. Justice PARK said, that Mr. Justice °melee, who had been obliged to go to his chambers, desired him is say it was his decided opinion the motion was groundless. Rule refused.

THE EALING GROVE. This wu a snit brought by James Carman, a seaman, against the ovum of the ship Ealing Grove, for wages alleged to be dste lIMIIIMOMM mannsumein for service, in a voyage:to the island of Dominica. and from thence to England. It appeared that the ship sailed from England in December, 1824, and arrived in the West Indies in the month of February, in the ensuing year. During the outward voyage, Car. man was said to have been negligent of his duty, and after his arrival in the NVest Indies, he was charged with having indulged in habits of constant intoxication, which incapacitated him from discharging his duty. It was further stated, that after the arrival of the vessel at Dominica. Carman got leave to go ashore for a short time, but that he failed to return when his leave was expired. For this misconduct, the Master o'o%4:hi proper to take Carman before Mr. Anderson, a Magistrate of the island ; and, on this occasion, Carnyin having conducted himself in a most insolent manner, and violently refused to return to his duty on board the vessel, the Magistrate committed him to prison, where he remained until shortly before the Ealing Grove set sail on her return, when the seaman was again taken on board the vessel, and came hack to England. Under these circumstances, the owners of the Ealing Grove refused to pay Carman his wages, on the proanda of actual desertion, and of gross misconduct, su fficient to incur a forfeiture of wages. Dr. LUSHINGTON appeared to support the mariner's claim, and argued, that although occasional acts of drunkenness had been proved, there was no evidence to support the charge of desertion ; nor were any acts of misconduct proved against the mariner, of a character to induce the Court to decide that the claimant had for feited his wages. The charge of desertion could not be sustained, for the mariner had only been absent fifteen hours after his leave had expired ; and the law required, that, to constitute desertion, a mariner should remain twenty-fota hours absent without leave. The charge of desertion was negatived, too, by' the circumstance, that the claimant hail not removed his property from on board the vessel when he went on shore. As to the charge of misconduct, sufficient to incur a forfeiture of wages, it could not be supported, because the master had taken Carman on board after his miscon duct, and he returned in the vessel to Englartl. Under these cir cumstances, the Learned Advocate contended thet a forfeiture of wages was not incurred. and that the Court was bound to pronounce favour of the seaman's claim. Dr. J F.l4lin n.on behalf of the owners, argued that the charge of desertion was supported by the evidence. The circumstance of the master's taking Carman on board again, lie thought, made no part of the case ; for by the local regulations of Dominica, sanc tioned by his Majesty, the master was compelled to enter into a bond not'to leave any of his men on the island. Had he neglected to take Carman on board, therefore, he would have forfeited his bond, which was for 1,0001. The necessity which the master was tinder to take the seaman on board, however, was no justification for the seaman's conduct, which was on all occasions, on the out ward voyage as well as during the stay of the vessel at Dominica, marked by the most intolerable negligence, disobedience, and Potence. When taken before the Magistrate, lie was asked whether he would return on board his vessel, and his reply was, " I be if do." Ey this act, which was in evidence, the Learned Doc tor submitted that the seaman had forfeited his wages, and that the Court must dismiss his claim. Lord STOWELL said, the circumstance to which Dr. Jenner had just alluded, the seaman's refusal to return to his ship, seemed tha most important point in the case. Dr. !Aram xn•ro ia reply, insisted that the evidence in sup port of the allegation, that the seaman refused to return to his ship, when enjoined by the Magistrate, was not entitled to credit. The only evidence in support of that allegation was a document. pur porting to he a certificate of the Magistrate, and that document was forcibly contradicted by the presumptions which arose out of the CAM The seaman was in custody when he was stated to have so replied to the Magistrate, and he was aware that be might be compelled to return to his ship, whether he wished or not. He had already felt the full force of the law in Dominica, hav ing been confined for a considerable period in prison, by order of the Magistrate, before he made the alleged declaration. Lord Sr ow En 1. said, he would look over such of the papers as threw any light on the point to which he had called the attention or the Advocates, and would pronounce judgment on the next Court-day. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, MAT 30. Mr. Francis Wright, late of 3largate, lodging-house-keeper, was opposed by Mr. R. Collard, the holder of a bill of exchange for 301. bearing the name of the insolvent. The opposing creditor stated, that a short time before the failure of the petitioner lie was solicited by him to discount a bill for 301., drawn upon and accepted by a person named Doland. Before wit ness compljed,he inquired as to the character and circumstances of Doland, and received in answer that he was a person of property, and had an annuity which he paid to his (insolvent's) wife ; indeed, he was assured that the bill was as good as the Bank of England. Upon these representations complainant was induced to advance the money for the bill, taking nothing for discount. Before or about the time the bill became due, both the insolvent and Doland failed, and hence lie had been defrauded of his money, by means which he considered more culpable than highway robbery. In his cross-examination by Mr. ii EAT u, the opposing creditor said that he nad known the insolvent many years, and as he be lieved him to be an honest man, he did not make any further in quiry as to Doland, the acceptor of the bill. Ile could not help expressing it as his opinion, that both the parties had leagued together to defraud witness out of his property. Ile had since heard that Doland was a bankrupt, and consned in the King's Bench prison. The insolvent was called upon to explain this transaction, and contradict, If he could, the testimony which thus militated against hint. Ile stated that Mr. Doland was his brother by marriage, and had been many years a respectable army clothier in Soho. Previous to this transaction they had been in the habit of mutually accommodating each other by bills, but up to the period ' that the one was given to Mr. Collard, they had been regularly pro vided for. With respect to his wife's annuity, the representation he made to Mr. Collard was quite correct —The insolvent frequently conducted himself with great irritability of temper, and was more than once reprimanded by the Court. Upon reference to the schedule, it appeared that the insolvent hail omitted to set forth the annuity alleged to be bequeathed to his wife, by her father's will ; he was therefore ordered to be remanded until lie produced all the documents relating to the said bequest. ESCAPE OF A PRISONER.. This morning, as John Woodrow, a prisoner for debt, in the cus tody of the keeper of Whitccross-street prison, was being conveyed to the Court, to be heard on his petition, he contrived to elude the vigilance of his conductor, and got clear off. Mr. HEATH appeared to oppose the prisoner's discharge, but his name was struck from the cause paper for not appearing. We heard that the fugitive was charged in custody upon a debt of considerable amount. GOONEARL MINING COMPANY. On Monday afternoon a Meeting of the Shareholders in the Goonearl Mining Company took place. Mr. Joux BLEADE X was unanimously called to the Chair. Mr. FLORANC E, the Solicitor to the Company, read the Report. It declared that nothing had occurred to alter the view-s which the Directors entertained from the commencement of the Company, as to the ultimate success of the undertaking. Mr. Wm. CLARK opposed the Report. The Prospectus stated that the Company should consist of 5,000 Shares, and that 50,000/. being requisite, 101. was to be paid on each share. According to the statement now made, scarcely 1,000 Shares had been taken, which Shares would produceonlylo,oool., and yet they chose to pro ceed, and told the Shareholders that such a capital would answer their purposes. The Citsinmax said, that the whole of the plan had not been carried into execution. On referring to the Prospectus it would be seen, that beyond the Goonearl mines they had it in contemplation to purchase such other mines as might be found advantageous. As the public had not taken the full amount of the Shares, the Direc tors thought themselves justified in proceeding with one part of their plan, for which the Shares taken were deemed fully adequate. Mr. CLARK said, this answer was by no means satisfactory, and contended that the Directors were not warranted in expending the money of Shareholders, who had subscribed their money upon the prospect and implied condition that at least the majority of the Shares would be taken before anything would be done. He then proceeded to question Mr. Ifancocic, one of the proprietors, from whom the (ioonearl mines had been purchased, as to the prospects of success in working them, and as to their value. After a great deal of desultory conversation between Mr. Hu ard( and Mr. Clark, A SHAREHOLDER, in a very unceremonious manner, charged Mr. Hancock with haring received the Shareholders' money, and demanded that lie should account for it. Mr. HANCOCK—You are a rogue and a rascal for making such a charge. I am ready to give every explanation, but I deny that I have even received's hat is justly due to me from this Conrpany.— Ile then stated, having determined to sell the mine to a Com pany, the course he had pursued for the purpose. Mr. CLARK moved a string of Resolutions, declaring that the plan had proved abortive from its commencement; that there was no Company ; that the Directors were bound to return the deposits entrusted to them, and that if they refused, legal measures should be adopted for their recovery, they being personally responsible. The CHAIRMAN refused to put these Resolutions. They went to declare that those supporting them were not Shareholders, and if they were not Shareholders, they had no right there. Several of the Shareholders said they would vote the Chairman out, and appoint another. The CHAIRMAN said he could easily understand that it was de sirable for many persons who never intended and never were able to make any bon , : fide investment, to have the deposits returned to them. It would he highly profitable to numbers. Mr. CLARK—I do not mean rouse it as a threat, but I only say this to you, Mr. Chairman, that If you do not put these Resolu tons, I will move such a vote of censure upon you as never Chair man had in his life. The CHAIRMAN said he was wining to take the sense of the Meeting as to whether he should put them. There was a considerable majority in favour of the Resolutions, which were then put and carried. The CHAIRMAN declared that there was not the slightest ground for them. The Directors gave a great deal of time to the measure gratuitously ; success was certain ; and this was their reward. The Chairman 'a declaration only excited merriment ; but the Meeting, before they separated, passed a vote of thanks to him, for his conduct in the chair.

The public sales of blarbedoes and Mauritius Sugars also tended to keep arm from purchasing until the 'ale prices were ascertained. The qaandlf landed last wick is abote 6000 casks, against about 2000 last year; the stock has therefore rather increased. The weekly deliveries continue to exceed those of N 323.
