years prescribed by the statute of limitatiour, which would, on the authority of many decided awes, iake the debt out of the provisions of that statute. It was proper to observe, that the house of Hough ton and Co. carried on two distinct businesses--une pate of it wits occupied with general shipping con certo—the other, and to that department Mr. Whereon belonged. was embarked testy io inset. rancesnerolitirtus. Long after the bankruptcy of • part of that firm, it was found that Mr. Wharton. who had not shared the tome late. was a partner, and against hire the present action was brotight. Mr. Gardiner ' a partner in he house of Hardy. ()Hey. and Co. deposed, that the arm to which he bad belonged, had many transactions with the house of Houghton and Co. He perfectly recollected the arreptance of the bill, dated the 10th of Febenary, 1010, fur 1,5401. which was draws ht Houghtou and Co. At the close of the Tear 1809, whites and his partners were indebted to Houghton and CO. out the in acomint, between 11 and 12,000/., and accepted the present bill. is part pat neat of that deasand. The bill was drawn by &fr. Henry Houghton, the head of the firm. It was Peeved tinder his corniniesion, and some money paid on it. The insurance account was kept separate from:the general eccount. Witnees's house dad belittlers with the firm of Houghton and Co. in a general way, exclusive of. the insurance business. He believed the Defetidaist was *. partner its the house of Houghton :sod Co. before and after the bill war drawn. [The bill was here put in and read.] W. Moretriori, an Attorney, produced the com missionof bankruptcy issued remind Henry Hough ton. It was dated the Stith of Merril, 1811. Wit ness also produced a proof of a debt claimed under it on the lit It of May, 1811, by Mr. Brandram, for the sum of 9i1191. 6s. 1 Id. The present bill was, on that occasion, mentioned, as the only security he held her that-stem. Cross-exessieed.—Witnees had in his possession a rrleirse given by Brandrain for all claims OH Hong) and Co. He believed he saw it signed. That wass long antecedent to the commission. being dated the 11th of January, 1811. It was a condi tional release. The coodition was, that Houghton and Co. should execute an assignment of all their effects to trustee , named by the creditors, No ouch essignment was ever executed. Mr. Montriuu then produced a declaration of di sideed paid to Breathes] and Co. under Hough ton's commission. dated Novetuber, 1812. The dividend their paid was 115/. 10s. The joint estate produced a dividend of is. 10d. in the pound. Mr. Scsat.rre, for the defence, argued, that Mr. Mliarton was not liable. First, it was to he considered whether Houghton, in drawing this bill. meant to pledge the credit of a secret partner. It was evident the bill was not accepted on the De fendant's credit—fur of that the Plaitstiflit knew nothing. II was drawn by a person having a right to do so, and using the name of Is specific firm, without any notice whatever of the present Defend not, and the Plaintiffs had looked to other pettier for payment. A case was decided in the House of Lords, where it was held. that a smut had a tight to select the ownership to which he would resort for payment—hut, having done that, he was not justified in proceeding against others. But tliss was not the ally objection. He would, under the statute of limitations, phew that Wharton had a good defence. If this bill of exchange had been ' proved as a debt, under the commission, eo ;ton tine. it would have operated spinet die statute of limita tions. But this was not the awe. Proof was indite of a debt of 2,119/. fur which this bill of exchange was held as a collateral security—and the payment of a dividend under the general account, nut specifically on the bill. would nut take it out of the statute of LAVA ELLENSOROUGH held, that it was given as • general security by the party, within the course of the caries decided—and, therefore, the payment of the dividend must be cuosidered as a bar to the' plea of the statute of limitations but his Lordship expressed his willingness to reserve the point, if Mr. Scarlet deairril Verdict for the PI • •ffs, 1,3131. 10v.—the divi dends received being deducted. CROWLEY V. IMPEY mid 011111‘. Mr. (In Rolfe stated, that this action was brought by the Plaintiff. terminally to recover damages for an assault sod false imprisonment. brit iu reality to try the validity of a commission of bankruptcy is sued against him, under which the Defendants, Mew*. Wiley, Ansley, and Grant, Commissioners of Bankrupts, had proceeded to commit laim to prison, as a contumacious bankrupt. In the month or March. 1815, the commission in question issued —sod the allegation opposed to it was, that the Plaintiff had, before that time, becomes bankrupt, that he was uncertified, and consequently, that the second commission was null and void. It was only necessary that he (Mr. G.) should prove the warrant under which the Plaintiff was coin eee i e ted, sod then it would he for the Itefendent's Counsel to make out the plea of justification that had been placed on the record, by proving that lie was a bankrupt. For the satislisction of the Jury. however, he would state, that the Plaintiff a few years ago, kept the Quern's-I lend Tavern, in St. James's-street. He had parted with that concern to his sister-in-law. and removed to Paddington, when after • few months residence there, a creditor sued out a coin shi.,airri of bankruptcy against him. Plaintiff pro tested against the cnitimiseiou on two grounds—in the first place, a commission issued in 1808. when lie resided in the North of England, still subsisted, which rendered the last commission inoperative— and, in the second. he defied any person to prove MI act of bankruptcy, or of trading against lain, to support the last commiroion. Evidence were then called, who proved, that on the 18th of June 1816. the Defendants, as Com missioners of B ankrupts, had signed a warrant, cumin ii ing the Plaintiff' to the custody of the Marshal of the King's Bench. without bail or maisiprise, until lie answered, setisfectorily. certain interrogatories put to I • . Ile had previously been in the rules of the Bench, on two actiusis of mow process, and for a contempt of the Court of Chan cery—but, alter the Commissioners' warrant of coin ointment cater down, he was confined to the prison. One of the actions or mesas process still remained unsatisfied--and he had not purged himself from the contempt of the Court of Chancery. Alr. SCARLBTT, on the part of the Defendants, stated, that the Lord Chancellor. doubting the va lidity of the former commission, had directed an issue to he tried. in order to set that point at rest — but the Plaintiff had never thought proper to pro ceed with it. Indeed it appeared to be a friendly continisdioit. The bankrupt was still uncertified— he might get in debt as much us he pleased—and it was a convenient thing to have the former commis won to plead, in order to invalidate a good one— and thus enable him to defraud all those who would trust him. The Plaintiff was a man of very sus picious character. What he had brought with him from the North, besides his wits, no per• son could yet find out. He had first set up a Circulating Library, and contracted debts to a large amount, which he 4101 not paid. He nest appeared as keeper of the Queen's Head Tavern. In that capacity lie also ran deeply in debt-..and, when called on to pay, he assigned all hie property to his sister-ins-law, who, when triter rogated on the subject, never could state how she got money to pay for the concern—what sum she paid—or through what medium the payment was made. All she-eould say was, that she gave a valuable consideration for it. With respect to the trading, that could not be denied—amid be would eerily prove the petitioning creditor's debt. As to the act of bankruptcy, he would she, that the assignment was fraudulent—and, by the statute of Elizabeth, a fraudulent assign ment constituted an act of benkruptcy. He would, beyond this, *hew, that the Plaintiff was frequently denied to persons who called on him for money—and although some of those visits were paid. after his name was taken down, and that of his sister-ins-law substituted, the alteration made no difference, if it appeared that this was a 'natter of collusion. After the commis sion was issued against the Plaintiff, his sister-hi law brought an action in the Court of Common Pleas, against the assignees. to recover back the property they had balm iintisesiffou of. In the first instance, a verdict was given iu her favour (or ra ther in favour of Crowley, who was the real Plain tiff in the case). but it was afterwards set aside— and, on the subject of that action some material evidence would be giveii. The commission of bankruptcy, doted the 7th of March, 1815, and a promissory note fur MIL, bring the debt of the petititming creditor, Mr. Alexander Webber, wine merchant. of St. James's street, were then put in awl proved. George Lovett, who lived as waiter at the Queen's Head, proved the trailing. When the commission war taken out against Crowley, he took a house in Paddington. But, before lie gave up the louse in St. James's-street entirely to his sister in-law, Miss YOUlig, lie used, fur about three weeks, to go out after breakfast, at nine or ten o'clock, and not return till night. Miss Young answered all inquirers, that slit did nut know where lie was to be found. Charles Morley was porter to Mr. Crowley for four months. fie quitted him on the Ist of May, tsils. Before Crowley went to Paddington, per sons frequently called for money, hut he did not know their names. lie was desired not to tell where Crowley was gone to, by Mips Young. While Crowley was in the habit of sleeping at St. James's street, and keeping out all day, many persons call ed for tuottey. John Duncan called many times at the Queen's Head, for payout-in of a bill drawn by Mr. Webber; but, except un one occasion, Crowley was always denied. Thomas Cotton had also frequently called at Crowley's house, in St. James's -street. on behalf of Mr. Hayes. but could never see him. William Nimbi, a Sheriff's officer, had two war rants against Crowley. and endeavoured to serve them iu February, 1815. He called 20 times, and never could get a sight of him, or learn where he was to he found. William Martin recollected the action brought by Miss Youug against Crowley's assignees. for the recovery of the furniture, &e. In a conversa tion he hail with Crowley, the latter stated, when his sister had a verdict. he would get possession of the property aglow, to the amount of 3,0001. He said, that the property was assigned over to hiss sister-in-law by a friendly appraisement—part of it was paid by a bill of ext hatige, part in real bank notes—and part in sham-notes. -- Mist was present when conversations took place between Martin and Crowley. He heard the latter say. if his sister-in-law succeeded, be would repossess the property the assignees had taken— but witness heard nothing about sham-notes. Mr. GURNEY declined his right of reply. Lord Et.frannuouoti put it to the Jury, whether the Plaintiff had not endeavoured to hide from his creditors ? Mr. GvIIIEY consented to a non-suit. OLD BAILEY, I -ANVARY 14.

Morgan, She man who stands charged with plundering a great her of coffee-houses and taverns of silver spoons, &c. was yesterday finally examined. In addition to the charges preferred against the Prisoner on the former examination, the following evidence was now adduced : James Barlow, a waiter at the Horton coffer-house, Cheap side, stated, that about three weeks since the Prisoner came to that IMAM', and called for some soup. He remained in the room a considerable time, but at length went out un observed, and ininrediately afterwards the witness disco vered that the WM spoon which be had given to the Pri soner had been taken away, and a plated one substituted. The plated article, iu shape and size, corresponded exactly with the one taken away. Mr. Newman, proprietor of the Edinburgh Castle Tavern, Sweesing's-alley, Curulull, stated, that a fortnight ago some person came into his house, and contrived to purloin two plated spoons from a sideboard adjacent to the coffee-room. A person who was standing in the passage first informed him of the circumstance, and said he believed that the thief was jaw gene out. Witness had a few moments before observe! a inst., having his fare partly concealed by a large Belcher handkerchief, leave the house in a ucerning hurry. From what he could see at that time of the man's face, be had no doubt that it was the Prisoner. _ There were at least a dozen waiters from different taverns present, and sliminess to prefer charges of the like nature against the Prisoner, but the Lord Mayor said, that milli -1/1 had been already advanced to send him fur trial, and the 'sallies might then if they pleased indict 111111.

Two of the inhabitants of the Stroud attended to confirm the testimony of Humphreys and Oddy, whose names for obvious reasons we du nut mollies'. One of them said, that he bad seen the daring conduct of the Pfl9olllCr mud his gang. Mr. Micas, the Magistrate, convicted the Prisoner under the Police Act as a reputed thief. The Act, unfortunately for the public with such characters, admits of bail, hut the Magistrate required it to be ready imatanler, when two men presented themselves, uot very likely, from their appearance, to beimine hail: the Magistrate was not to be impinged upon so easily, and said he should not receive them sill he had closely interrogated them.
