This motion has stood over since Thursday week. at the request of Mr. Shadwell, Counsel for the loyal Plaintiff, to give hire an opporttinity of producing an affidavit - of his client, 'relative to the second security, which affidavit has not been rude." Mr. Sn AVIVIM L- 44 Sir Samuel Romilly, who is not at present in Court, is leading Counsel for her Royal Highness." Sir SAMUEL ROMILLT having come into Court addressed his Lordship nearly ns Follows I have now the honour of bring Counsel for the Royal Plaintiff. No affidavit has been made, sod I would not .bejuslified in advising her Roc' Highness to make one, and lam coutident your ordain!' would not require it if the cue was properly before you. The hill is tiled by her Royal Highness, against the Defendants, the Executors of the late Duke of Brunswick, to recover the payment of two secu rities for 15,000 i. given to her by her brother. the late Duke of Brunswick. They ask by their motion to see the second security ; I ask them, in return, what right they have to see it ? they cannot have the right by motion according to the practice of this Court. Why should the Defendants ask her to make an affidavit, for is not her protestation on honour at a Peeress of the Realm sufficient ? I sin sure your Lordship will think it is." The Lunn CtikacEt.t.ott•—•• I never thought of her being asked to snake an affidavit; her.protesta lion is sufficient. I should wish to hear more of the case. The rule of the Court certainly Is, if the Defendants want discovery they must file a cross bill. Let the case now he heard. Go on with ymtlr motion, Mr. Solicitor- General. I feel every respect for lier Royal Highness, but I must consider her and the Defendants as l would any other suitors of this Court." 1 _ The SOLIGITOIII:GENERAL stated, that lie moved ou behalf of the Defendants, who were the joist executors of the late Duke of Brunswick, that hrr Royul Highness might be ordered to produce and submit to the inspection of the Defendants two promissory notes or instruments, drawn in August, 1816, by the late Duke of Brunswick, iii favour of her Royal Highness—the oue for the sum of fifteen thousand pounds sterling, and the other for the same sum of 15,0001. payable in lotiiird'ors. He founded his motion on the affidavit of Count Munster, stating, that her Royal Highness the Princess of Wales had filed her bill in this Court against him and the Earl of Liverpool, as executors of the Duke of Brunswick, to recover the amount of the money contained in the instruments in ques tion ; and further stating, that having beets called upon to put in his answer to the bill, he could not safely do so, or prepare a defence to the suit of her Royal Highness, unless lie had a preiious inspection of the instruments alleged to have been given by the late Duke to her Royal Highness. The principle upon which this application was made—by motion upon affidavits, rather than by a cross bill for a dio covery, was, that if the Defendants .filed a cross bill, they would, in the due and ordinary course of practice, be compelled to put in their answer to the bill of her Royal Ifiglines• before they could have the benefit of her Royal Highness's answer to their bill. The Learned Solicitor adverted to several cases at law, for the purpose of sheering. by analogy, that the principle upon which he sought to have the present discovery on motion, hail been adopted and acted upon by the Judges of Courts of Law, on a variety of occasions. Sir ARTHUO PIGGOTT was on the some side. Sir SAMUEL ROMILLY, on the past or her Royal Highness, contended, that no such motion as the present one had ever been made iu this Court with *GCMG. Mr. Maim was else Counsel for her Royal Highness, and he in ' Wined that there was not a single precedent to support such a motion. Mr. Rsa.t. argued, that where, in a Court of Equity, a party sought a discovery of say thing whatever, he had on 111121111 of obtaiuing it but by a cross bill. Mr. SHADWET.T. observed, that the magnitude of the names of the litigant parties was the only cir cumstance that gave importance to such au appli cation. The SOLICITOR.GF.D IRA L, i►► reply, said he was quite sure, that in the present case justice would be impartially adminivtered ; and the Princess of Wales being Plaintiff, and the Prime Minister De fendant, would weigh little in hi. Lordship's mind. The LORD CHANCELLOR said, that he hoped in this case, as well as i►► every. other, be should decide with strict and impartial justice. He had nothing to do with those who came into that Court but to consider them ■s Plaintiff and Defendant. This was a bill filed by the Princess of Hales against two tielSollll who were executors of the Duke of Brunswick, and it was tiled to obtain payment out of the assets of the Duke of Bruns wick of two bilk, which had been given by him to her Royal Highness. The Defendants stated, they bad been advised that it was material to them to insist ou her Royal Highness's demand bring made out in the first instance by the produc tion of the bills. He felt it his duty to dispense the same measure of justice as he should do between other parties. It was a caseof very great importance with reference to the practice of the Court. He should say but little on the subject, because it was not his intention to give his final judgment till a future day. His Lordship remarked. that in Courts of Law it had been the practice for ages to insist on having a prefer: of a speciality ; and here his Lord ship alluded to cares in the time of Lord Mansfield, and also quoted the opinio►► of the learned Judge up on the subject, as founded upon chat he conceived to have been the practice of Courts of Equity. His Lordship, speaking with deference of such a men as Lord Mamfield, said, he did slot appear to him to have recollected what a Court of Equity would have done upon the questions to . which he had re ferred, but his Lordship added, that theyases at law did met, as he apprehended, apply' to the preeent clew. The present case could be dccitled only with reference to the practice of that Court.' There might be particular exceptions to gene►al rules of practice, but then care must be taken, that the Quart should be satisfied the excap►tiot: did 'Warily exist. It be oame him, therefore, with reference to all those rules by which the production of instruments was enfoi ced, to recollect what it was those roles required. The bill stated that a double security had been given for the same sum. It would be natessary hereafter, wheu the answer was filed, to look at the bill, in order to see what the hill said ; but as the answer was not put in, and as the Defendants alleged they could not put it in without the previous" prod uctiou of the instruments, he must look at the affidavits on which the present motion was grounded. to see that it stated a case, forming an exception to the general rule of practice. He should read the papers, and look at some of the notes he had taken as the argu ment had proceeded, and would deliver himself on this subject on Tuesday next. The Court was extremely crowded to hear this motion. READING ASSIZES. NhacH 3. Lord FOLIISTONE V. ZASTAFF. Lord Fo'ketone, under the Act of the 31st of the present King, which directs ell Magistrates to visit the gaols, and examine and report the state of the prisoners, demanded admittance to the three state prisoners confined in the gaol of this county, which the Defendant, who was the gaoler, refused, by order of the Secretary of State, which directed him to admit none but the Visiting Mogistretes. For the Defendant, it was contended, that the Act could nut contemplate State prisonerri and on this ground, alter a trial of ten hours, a verdict was gives for the Defendant.

Tile Pri.oner was a clerk in the Navy Pay-office ti the Dock-yard at Portsmouth ; and to hint being confided the office of paying pensions, he was in trusted with a considerable sum, fur the proper appropriation of which it was usual for him. at cer tain periods, to account to the chief clerk. On the morning on which his deficiency was detected, being that on which he was to hand over his balance. he produced sundry notes. assorted in parcels of 501. composed severally of 5/. 41. and one pound notes. Upou examination of these, it was discovered that two parcels which he produced as each con sisting of ten 51. notes. were arranged with a 5/. note at the top and bottom or each, the interme diate ones being nuly those of 20s. On further ex amination. it was found that he was dr ficieut the sum of 38!l. 4.. I Id. On being told his balance was not correct. he replied he would mike it so, in stead of which he immediately left the office, took a post-chaise, and absconded to London, whither he was followed, and afterwards traced to Dover, where he embarked for France.

Next morning they met to settle the dispnte by fighting a duel. [lend and Redesdale measured the ground. Hand called Sutton, and give him a pistol, wheal he and Major Lockyer took their ground.

Mr. Fitzgerald (brother to the owner of the ves sel) deposed. that Hand seriously pressed Sutton to settle the affair, when they were going to the field—all was said that could be said to induce him to make concession fur the words he had used, and not light : this admonition he repeated several times. Several other witnesses were examined. but their testimony added no new fact to those not already known. Major Lockyer and Mr. Hand both read a long and very able defence.

Region, and Thomas Boulier, fear young men, between twenty and twenty•two years of age, were brought up PiMse custody of William Read, juu. and William Wainwright, officers, and put to the bar, charged by Mr. Michael Riley, landlord of the Greyhound, fileurielbs.street, Brunswick-square, with infusing and mixing some deadly poison in some porter, and giving it to drink to Sarah Morgan, Sarah Woodhani, Betsy Fox, Jane Griffith., and Jane Tucker, five young women, with iuteut to deprive then, of life. The Complainant deposed, that he is landlord of the Greyhound public-honer, Henrietta-street, Brunswick-square, and is likewise a brush-manufacturer ; that the above five named young Wofilesi worked fur him in a workshop in the upper part of a bowie situated in an enjoining mews ; that the tau first earned prisoners ire.gentlenteu's servants, and the other two journeymen brush.makers, who work fur another person iu the same mews; that shunt twelve o'clock that forenoon, one of the two first named Pri soners Caine to-his house fur it pot of porter, which Com plainant drew into a clean pet; that after taking the chill tiff ►e carried away the beer, end meeting the other three Prisoners, they drank better than half of it; after which the Prisoner, Samuel Renton, took the remainder to the above five young women, and which they drank between these. The Primmer* returned to Complainalit's house, where they sat liown nod had some refreshment. They had not been long there, when a messenger came and informed bins that the five young women were stretched on the floor in the room in which they worked, lying in, the agonies of death. Witness hastened to them immediately, and found them as described : one was in strong cuuvulsions , black in the face, send (naming at the mouth; • second speech less, and apparently iu ■ dying state; and the other three stretched by them on the Boor, sufferisig excruciating pain. —Witmer sent immediately for Doctor Darling, of 29, Brume iek-equare, who come and administered the necessary medicines, but finding their case 'toy daugerou•, be deemed it proper to have further advice, and three other medical Gentlemen were called in, sill of whom' agreed in opinion that their livis were in immi•ent danger, and that they could rot give the smallest hopes of the recovery of either, •ud the opinion was, that they laboured under the efforts of some deadly poison; and not from julep, opium, Spani►h flies, or any similar things that might be administered to them for any vile purpose. Complainant, under all these circumstances, caused the Pt isoners to be taken i•to custody and brought to trial. The Prisoners were salted by the Magistrate, Mr. Seems, if they wished to say any thing in their defence ? un which a coutroversy look place between two of the Prisoners. One, • zentleman's servant, said that be was sent by the two hrustiniakers to the Complainant's house for • pot of beer ; when lie got it, hr took tly chill off, and returned with the beer to the brushmakers ; they made him and his companion, the other servant, drink ; they swallowed about • pint of it, and the Prisoner, Samuel Renton, a bruslimaker, carried the remainder to the young women. This Poisoner declared, that there could be •o poisonous ingredients in the beer, when he and his companions drank : as if their had been they would have been as much effected as the women. The Prisoner, Samuel Renton, said, that there mast have been something in the beer which was improper when it was given to hint by the person who lwought it, tor that he drank of the beer before be gave it to the young women, and that be found himself very much affected, sod nut able to go to work. A gentleman who happe: , ed to be present iii the tap. room when the two brush-snekers were apprehended, stated that he heard the Prisoner Renton say to his companion, the other brush.maker, "'lush—nut a word—keep close, and they can ilo nothing." Mr. Riley, the landlord, stated, that he drew the beer himself, in • clean pot, from two both., which were on danglit, amid of which no person had complained. The Magistrate ordered hint to draw no snore beer from those butts, until it was ascertained whether this melaiichuly circumstance arose from the quality of the beer or not. As the case stood at present, he found it his ditty to commit the four Prisoners until the Doctors madu their report. Sail was offered Alf the gentlemen's servants, which in the pre sent instance was refused. _ Oa inquiry last night, we karn that three of the pout women are coauidvred not of danger ; that Riley Fox and Jane Griffiths, the two who were moat iu danger, had n chance about half past 11 o'clock that forenoon ; and that Dr. hug, who attended them, bad strung hopes of their recovery.
