VICE-CtIANI'ELLOW6 COL'AT, Tarisr•Ay, (Before Loni (irrroßD. llaske of Pie Roll:.) DELAY IN THE ER-WIRE OF THE•COURT OF CHANCERY. idly , le;ral right, under the will of their deceased uncle. 'l'hcre were altogether ne than eighteen persons. rclatlons.4f the tlereased, who had an interest in the properly. of whom ro less than 14 or 15 had finer died ; and it wad now nit possible that Mr. and Mrs. liwayre might live to the period when tbsir chikl, row an infant, could derive an interest from the property. lie 01r. i1t••k11 attributed nothing dist,vaeeful to the ;maks w' a hail the r•anagemrnt of these concerns; far aught he knew they it 1n bo able to sheer that a suit instituted by accounting prtties in the :Wart of Chancery could not be sooner settled, and tth ability and respectable gentleman in forwarding this ease, although AO much to the contrary was now insinuated. True. Mr. lleeld represented the character of Mr. Pownal to be highly respectable, ht.t still no one could mistake what was intended. The testator in this ease had made a must complicated will ; he scar a man of very chseure origin, who amassed a fortune, and the annuities with . which he charged his torture were all regularly paid since the period of hie demise. In this case delay wan unavoidable. fur it was difficult to ascertain who were the individuals (described io the will as nephew. and nieces) rho were to participate in the residue of the estate. tleald's address • 'lion, relative /owns! , fore it was the duty of Mr. Nlonkhouse to enter the appearance to the bill of reviver. If I were now to deride this case, my present impression world lead to: to grant the motion ; but it is one of PO much consequence, that time is necessary for inquiry. I ant the last man in the world who wid,cs to throw out reflections upon any professional man ; but this I must soy, that peat mischiefs very often arise from gentlemen concerned for paries who have conflict ing interest~, though sometimes also it is useful, as tending to nar. row proceedings, and to lighten expense. It behoves Solicitors, however, to ponder well betore they undixtaite to conduct the causes With respect to 31r. - to popular opini_. to the delays charged on the Court of Chancery.. he (Mr. Hart) thought it might as well have been spared. Those who heard it to-day would, when they went abroad, report it, and the popular clamour would be increased; while those who looked into the in terior of the system of the Court of Chancery must know that on human systeni could be devised, better calculated to promote the ends of justice. The motion of Mr. Heald was merely a motion as to poetize, and this he (Mr. Hart) confidently said. that no client had a right to step in and say to his Attorney, " I'll stop you at any period of the cause, and transfer my case to the hands of an. other." If the Solicitor refused to go on, then an application might be made to this Court, and the matter would be adjusted; hut the Solicitor first employed had always a lien on the papers in his pos session until his costs were 'eddied. The new Solicitor had no arms to defend his client-he had not a single record, order, or decree, the old Solicitor having paid for them, and of course holding them in his possession. Mr. Pawnsl was not the Solicitor for all the par ties; it Was improper to state so. and if he acted wrongly towards any party, his conduct could he still made the subject of complaint. No evidence was adduced as yet to inculpate him, and though vulgar minds might be I,d away with a notion that Mr. Pownal had acted improperly front the statement of Mr. Heald, yet be (Mr. Hart) was satisfied that the judicial mind would not be to affected. In 1823 Ales. Swayne came into a situa tion in which she was clothed with an authority to lay her hand upon part of the effects, but down to that period she had been abandoned by her husband, and could not obtain a lodging with out the guaranty and protection of Alr. Pownal. There was no rule of this Court to displace or dismiss Mr. Pownal, even though 3IY. Hcaid's clients had called for their bill of costs up to the pelital of the present proceeding ; 31r. Pownal had prepared every thing for the hearing the cause-briefs were ready, and every other preparation made. Ile (Mr. Hart) Should merely add, that the Court could &soothing in this case Without that obtaining the consent of Mr. Pownal, who, as matter of grace, wished to have nothing more to do with the Swaynes ; but who could surrender nothing as a matter of right. This was not the season of the year to in dulge in long or violent !melte', anti some of the topics contained in-that of Mr. Heald had nothing whatever to do with this case. Mr. MOOSE followed on the tame side, and observed that an accommodation had been offered and refused in this case by the clients of Mr. Heald. No man was more anxious than Mr. Pownal to expedite this cause. Martha Swayne was but an imbecile-her husband was living in a state of adultery ; the wife was very M utated, and only taken heck for the purpose of this proceeding. If the Court should accede to this motion, some security should be given that care would be taken of this woman, and that the new solicitor should not in the transfer oust Mr. Pownal of the coats to which he was entitled. Mr. HEALD, in reply, observed, that the season of the year, or the day-being near the long vacation-shouhl have no weight whatever in a ease of so much importance as the present. With respect to Mr liart's observations, about addresses to popular opinions, he (Mr. Heald) would say, it would be disgraceful in a Banister not tourge those topics which might suggest themselves It o him, in any case, much more so on the present motion, than which, Tortuga, not one of greater importance ever rame before a Court. The more respectable 31r. Pownal was, the greater the importance of this motion. If a petty Attorney, living ob. scurely. and haying paupers for his clients, had treated them in this scandalous manner, why, the distress and obscurity of the indivi dual would raider his shamelessness the less surprising. But here the case was widely different. Ile (Mr. Heald) hail stated coaling out of his affidavits; and if the object was to save time, ho thought the mode adopted by Mr. hart, in reading over the affidavits, before read and commented en by him (31r. Heald), was not the most desirable way of obtaining such an object. Time, no aloulyt, was valuable-but no time was too much, which was spent it the pro em:ion of justice, and the exposure of pernicious system., leading to greys delinouency. He stated nothing out of his affi davits; though Mr. Hart and 31r. Moose had both stated the cir cunt:stances of his (dir. Heald) client, and bail added matters which in no wise related to the ease now before the Court. Ills clients were poor and weak, and these were the strongest reasons shy it was the duty of this Court to interfere for their protection. Ile (Mr. Heald) did not mean to as that this cause could have been noire advanced than it t greater expedition could have been used in its management ; neither did he say that it was API it moved across the Court in a sledge drawn by a worm. Hot this he said-that if Mr. Pownal could not go on more quickly, was it not a shame that such a Court as this should be allured to exist a moment longer? 'the complaints were loud Dad heavy, oral deep.roottd against this Court ; but it was said they could not be made against the Judges or the I practitioners of the Court. or the system upon which the Court itself was conducted ; and, in fact, no one knew against whom to prefer their complaints. Al'hat reason was there for delayieg this suit ? bet that be answered if it could. Mr. Munro, in his od dity', exhibited a very tenacious feeling to protect the character of 3lr. Pownal, while he travelled out of his affidavits to d. ounce 31r. Swayne as an adulterer, and his oppressed wife as a lunatic. It was not in human nature to recite such a case as this without strong feelings of emotion; it was impossible to hear it without In.. tiignation, 0 that the Court could hear any thing except with the most impartial justice. The public complained of these delays, and they had a right to complain if a bill filed in the Court of Chancery in Inla to not to be heard till Item. The source of com plaint was said not to be in the Judge nor the Counsel, and why then is not the complaint met by Al r. Pownal % Either 3lr. Pow nal grossly neglected his duty-or if he did not, the system of the Court of Chancery must be grossly oppressive to the rights of the people. The Judges of this Court would do their duty-they never shrank from it ; and 31r. Pownal must be greatly mistaken if he thought theintroduction of the Vice-Chancellor's name world shield him m his wrongs to these poor unhappy people. As to the acclaim modetioi mentioned by Mr. Moore, he (Mr. Heald) could scarcely be induced to believe it-fur his clients did not know ifs shilling of this property was collected during the nine years in which this suit was pending. Was it to be tolerated that during all this time the personal estate was not called in, and no receiver appointed, while fourteen of those interested in the distribution of the i.roptrty hod slunk into their graves ? Perhaps Swayne and his wile Red child might share a similar fate lefore this suit was settled, and then the stolicitos would be left as the tombstone to record flair premature I destruction. The importance of this ease is such that I will tan flinch from it-the truth shall he stated, whatever 'delicate cars I it may chance to offend. These are not times for men to get ter with their feelings, or neglect their duty, because the dis charge of that duty may occupy the whole of a winter or a sum. ; aster's day. Mr. Hart observed, " I am sure your Lordship y ill not make any order without the consent of Mr. Pownal." Such lan guage he (31r. Heald) considered highly improper, and he was sere it erupt not have been used in the other Court. 'Who , ! did Mr. Hart mean to say, that a poor client was not to lie allowed to extricate himself from a Solicitor's thraldom, without the consent of the Solicitor? and that this Court would wake that the oily condition of his doing so? Such an assertion was un worthy of Mr. Hart. What did the Swaynes get from fir. Pownal y a shilling now-,pow half-a-nowno-once in a way a soverciam ; but surely that would not satisfy a Court, sitting to protect the rights of the subject ! What an alarm mum not every man feel when such an authority as dlr. Bart asserts the greot per fection of the rules of this Court, and yet finds that the diligent Mr. Pownal could not get asuit through it in the ling periods:lf 12 yews What will this country say-this country so favoured shove all othtrs-wliat will her industrious people say, when they are told that a lebotious Wall may sonata a fortune and bqurath it to big plot on a•selieitor was • quite enough to manage, with ability a. despetell, the business of eighteen diflireat chents.

This might be said to be a retrograde teoremeete as an appearance omst be entered; but the answer was. that with the solicitor wile had the suits so long in his manage.. r.ett, there could be no chance of bvinging the tnaeee to any satisfsesesy conclusion.

The affidtvits of twain and les wise ceed„.thei they were anxious to know whet portion of the reopercy they Were to have, and for this purpose were ativieed to emalay a new solicitor; as it was thought that the gentleman con. e unit - , the came for the accountants and other parties might rot bs the hien persons in the world to do strict and impartial justice to aa. Ne doubt there must have been many difficulties in recon ..ci-r seen conaicting interests; but he (Mi. Heald) would by no terser Tommie any thing against the character and conduct of the suaciae. who undertook so arduous a duty. He was instructed to may ti at he well a most respectable man, and be (Mr. Heald) was taerstora not only bound to believe it, but not to impute a eltedow e rehnimility to his conduct. The Swaynca, however, were ade ie.sl to resort to 31e. C. Marithouse, a solicitor, and they did en. T3l:t . ITi../10d to mold the further delay in their cause. They were ei ea roily out of poueraien cf their tights sincelBl2. oe at all c vents since 1514: but hearing the delays in Chancery coming from the mouth of every one they nice and ',peke to; they were the less surprised, and icorildered, that if they did not themselves live long trough to en joy the bounty intended tar them, that at all events it was their duty to see that it aright be forthcoming to their son, now an in. fut. Since the institution of this suit many of the persons inter ested had quitted this earthly scene. Three persons of the name ot pster,• four of the name of Eagshaw, two of a third family, tett of a fourth, and all duriog the progress of this snit. A notice, however, was meted by Air. Alonkhouse on the tonna solicitor, wooing that the Swaynes hail discontinued ban in that capacity. and he (Mr. II.) hoped that that gentleman would , be able to show that in its managor.cnt lie had used every necessary despatch. 'fbe affidavit went no to state, that in 31arth, 1823, Swayne and Lis wife authorized Mr. Monkfuntee to be their attorney ; and on tae Ilth of November they signed a letter so stating, addreesed to • al 7. John l'oonal, adding, that they never were subpseneed to the tail of reviver; and this was corroborated by the ailidavit of Mr. or.khouse. However, about six weeks since a person called on Monkhouse with a subpcena, to be served on Richard and -11arthe Swayte --the order for the appearance to the bill of reviver Laving been made in the month of Jute last. Now what sae the answer to these affidavits? There was the joint affidavit of John it oral, of Staples Inn, and of Edward Poona], gent. of Baldock. t sqt fertile that is Easter Term, 1815, J. Pownall was employed to el:a Lift in this case ; that he did so (but the affidavit did tint state if all visor debt:darts were ircluded, it mentioned only three by same), and timely case was heard before his lino. theVice-Clinlicellor i.e March, 1820. lie e then vu a period of five yearsoloring • :ace nothing 11111 , 41(.13C ; and he (Mr. I leald) must say, that this was an evil of the greatest magnitude. It was not the cease of the tisaynes, distressing es that was—it was statue in which the Ito rum: of the Court was concerred, and the propriety of its practice ecticaiav ineolveil. Ile mentioned as a fact in the we, that only Gee solicitor was employed for so many conflicting parties ; not that this might mot Irma to a saving of expense—but expense was Bede as ounpareil with the practice of a Court which tolerated iinth ireaetable delay. sod allotted any solicitor to act for so nosy ed. yam:: parties. Bity, he asked, was a bill filed in an amicable suit in 1315, only heard in 1820 ? He asked the nature of the aca aourts—he asked how the cause stood ? for on those two aubjects both himself and his ci:ente knew literally nothing. In March, IWO, proceedings were had before the Master, who repoetal in la. xuary, 1822, and 31r. Pownall prepared the briefs. The bearing was tired :or the lath or 17th of the ensuing March (though the affidavit did not it:ate what year. whether Me', Ilea or 1821:: but being likely to occupy a considerable time, the Vice-Chancellor de eired it to stand over till the nest term. On the auth of April, 1823, Smith, the serving plaintiff, died ; thecause consequently abated, and she e then there was no accounting party before the Court. The affalavit of Pownall admitted the receipt of the letter addressed to him by Mr. alonkhouse in the Novoneher alluded to, and wbssdid Paynel do upon its receipt ? ,v he certainly ex. pressed great surprise that the cause was to be taken out of his boccie • sad no wonder he should—he had had it for eight or nine ytos before--the tl:ing went on sell—no outgoings to tile rightful usitters—.and wl:y, after remaining patient for such a period W s time. - after enduring :poverty and affliction in their worst shapei--whe eheuld they look to Mr. Pownal for the for tune left them by their uncle, so far back au the year 11113? • Bat the affidavit went on to state, that Martha Swarm went one doh after to his (Mr. Pownal's) chambers, when aloe said that he shatild still continue to act as her solicitor. Upon the demise of Smith, administration was taken out by Dorothy *eith, the presenteilaintiff, as the representative of the him sue. viviag 0X1X11:433. The wit revived, but still, as every one knew, she ceuld not be the representative of the original testator. Well, then, after the mere narration of much cirtematances• he put it to any loan to say, whether, teem the head of the Court of hancery tt ti.e lowest cf its officers, they could by possibility expect to escape the censure, tits: indignation of the public, when they are lamed to see that welt practices were permitted? The evil should ht abated, or, like other mils pushed to 30 galling in excess, they weuld ler.d to something horrible before they could be cured. The ..deputes spoaen of was notwervect till the very day it was return. attic, peel:apt to render the prerioea delay and hesitation the more strikinaly tetrarlatlee. With respect to the conversotion which peso! between Mr. Eduard Pownall,of Baldock, and 111 r. !look- rouse, the affidavit of Ale. J. Pownal contains rather a remarkable earleae, for it, one ' , rouge it states, that Mr. Monkhouse only • • cl aained to :at ;" sat, in another, that s• be refused to appear: . end tea affilava funaer went on to state, with unmatched cf ftherery, that at! thee proceedings, taut 11112 to 1315, from 1::15 to from Mae to Ida% from that penis! to the visit to Alt. al tit khottee, were all directed to despatch the concerns of the suf. .lere:g Searnai and their infant child! It would not have been v:rmt fcr Pownal mu enter an appearance for Selyne, after he tad entice net •,) do w; and had he (Mr. Heald) been enable, to Lang this ease ieto the other Court, he would certainly have done es. werely to add one more to the many causes of complaint rela. eve te the proaactinge of Chanocey. !tic knowledge of the Court ea:able:a him toshear many strong complaints upon the subject, Lot e ntrott a er or more aggravated case than the present he never hnew. The affidavit of Mr. Pownal cone/tided by two remarkable Fess:ages, the one was, that he was net ordered to do anything by tots Court; rr.,l the other. that no offer wax made to discharge the teemed. What rule of Court matte an order necessary to discharge or discontinue a solicitor? No such rule exalted or utiget to exist. Whit ! right or wrong, was a Solicitor f re emplayed to be continued to the conclusion of a cause? Th- proposition sat monstrous, as much as it was absurd. lea yasty should lie so shackled, and he Uttered lien: would of pieties having conflicting interests, as evidenced in this case now before the Court. One cannot help lamenting that a suit com.l menced in 1316 should not hare terminated before 1824, and that' tie notice of melon was offered for the appointment of a receiver. lint the question the Court has here to decide is. whether it is con. sistent with the practice of the toart to discontinue a Solicitor: and if not, then, whether in this case Mr. Peanut, having *flacon tinued to be the attorney, and applied to Mr. 31onkhouse as such. could exercise the authority which he did, by putting in the ap pearance. As I said before. I consider this a titiestion of great im. portance ; I shall take the affidavits at both sides home with me; I shall attend to the authorities on the subject. and to-morrow , morning perhaps, I shall be prepared to deliver the judment of the Court. In the course of the day his Lordship intimated, that he would hear cause papers to-morrow (this day) and Saturday, and bane. rapt cases on Saturday. lIIIIIERTSON V. FIELD. In this ease, which had been partly heard on a former day, Mr.' II FOLD applied ran order of Court for a Commission to examine wi:nesses in Cuba. The plaintiff was n cotton-manufacturer # Manchester, and had sold goods to the amount of 11,000/. to the do. fendant, from whom be was unable to recover p a yment. lie sue d hint in the Court ci King's Bench, where the defendant also brought a en's action against the plaintiff for has ing supplied him with uns , saleable goods. The defendant had reeeived 1,0001. drawback on the goods exported. The Court of King's Bench stayed the trials; till sufficient evidence could be procured. A bill had been tiled in this Court, to which an answer had been given. The original bill; was thin intended, and the question wits, whether it was neeemaryl to give a subpoena to answer an amended bill, and whether the de , ftsolart was in contempt of Court by refusing to answer till a sub prna had been served. Lord 6irronn deferral his opinion till he consulted a Clerk of , Coon respecting the practice. fie now said, that having consulted lone of the Six Clerks, lie found fiat no fresh sr:limns was necessary in the case of' an amended bill. lie could not, however, grant the commission for inquiry, '.l the defendant had put in his answer, or had subjected himself to contempt of Court, by refusing so answer. POLICE. 3IANSION-HOUSE. Manatwoutat. Ric erra.—A cue of p shunt:sir elesertptiot was heard Wore the Lard Mayor and Sir James Shaw yiseterdey. Kio... ?sky. the beadle ul Altigate, applied far an order of filiation aping a Jew, who, according to the parish account, deserted his bastard child. 1 Viten the father vas brought up on a former meg ewn the mother of the child assured the hard Mayor that her child was no bastard, as the defendant married her before consummation. She then &hewed the ring, which she called upon him to say, whe ther he had not put upon her finger, pronouncing thaw words which ecmstitated them man and wife. The beadle said. that sort of marriage amounted to nothing more than a broennstick marriage, which the parties had it in their power to dissolve at will The Loan Mahon. whom the pone woman appealed to in a very carnet manner for the honour of her child, asked whether such marriages were customary amongst the Jews, and whether the defendant had 'wedeln d the cereraohy in the manner described ? The woman solemnly declared, that a marriage of the kind was binding until a divorce Wok place. If it was not the case she had 1 been betrayed and seduced. One of the Goldsmith's had been married in the sante manaer. The defendant admitted, that he had married the young woman so far as she had &licensed, but the tie was of no avail. There were irregularities in the ceremony which made it impossible to be . recognised by the Jewish law. Indeed, if his expectations of her had twee answered, he would have completed the ceremony before the high Pri at, and thus put the legality of her claim to him beyond all question ; but she had bitterly disappointed his hopes. and as he had taken her upon trial, and she had broken down it that trial, he would resist all claim except that of the child, which, whether a bastard or not, the Jewish law obliged him to support. 1 he Jewess submitted to the Lord Mayor that her claim was un deniable ; she had given no cause for divorce. The Lean 31 Avon, under all the circumstances. submitted I the question of the legality of the marriage to the High Priest, I from whom he and Sir JAMES Suave received the following com munication : The enleninhation of marriages amongst the Jews is regulated by a rode of laws, which impose certain ceremonies to be per formed, and blessings said under a canopy, by a person properly qualified and authorised for such purpose. Parties, how ever, surreptitiously contract themselves in marriages by the man put ting a ring on the finger of the woman, in the presence of wit. ruses, and declaring vs purposes but such marriage is not only disreputable, bat occasions much inconvenience, as its validity may be questioned; and the law considered the wife of such tor. ; mama in the light of an unclean woman. Her claim for mainte. Dance is likewise subject to much question, although there is none as to that of her children ; and neither the man nor she can marry any other person, unless a regular divorce has been executed be tween them. Thus, though the ceremony is incomplete, and suhject to dispute, they must. with respect to other connections, still begonsidered as man and wife Sir J. SUAW entertained a very different view of the case from that which the High Priest had communicated. Ile considered the case analogous to those Scottish cues which were so Linn liar, and in which it was known the use of a few words of en - I gagement and acquiescence horned an indissoluble tie. He did not see how the parish could call mien the defendant to main. taro his bastard child multi such circumstances, as it appeared to him that the infant was, to all intents and purpcses, legitimate. The Loan Aaron was of the sane opinion. lie considered the ceremony that had taken place a tints Ate contract, whith, whatever might be the operation of the Jewish laws , he wo u ld not attempt to disturb. Ile recommended the parish to proceed against the defendant in the usual way, fur having deserted his wile and child, and measures would be speedily taken to punish the father, who certainly deserved to wirer, for having attempted so gross and injurious a deception. The case being discharged, the next step will he to proceed against the man in the manner suggested by the Lord Mayor. • HATTON-GARDEN. IV. Taylor was brought up in the custody of Lee the officer, charged by Mr. Samuel Sparrow, ornamental pearl manufacturer, 18, llrook.street, Holborn, with having stolen four pearl ornaments, mid twenty strings of pearls, the prime cost of which was 130/. and upwards. It appeared in evidence, that in consequence of the de. licate state of Mrs. Sparrow's health, she and Mr. Sparrow slept la the country every night ; and for the protection of the house and pmpe.ty at night, they placed the prisoner in the house, whose wife is Lie family laundress. On Tuesday last, on naming to town as usual, she went to an iron chest which contained a small cabinet, in "kWh were always deposited the valuable pearls, and on bringing it in the work-room where her three female apprentices were em- Played. she discovered that the property in question was missing. Suspicion falling on the prisoner 31r. Sparrow, gave information at Ids o ffi ce of the robbery, and L ee was itunieuistely despatched to the prisoner's residence In Paradise-place. Kentish Town, where the wife (the husband being absent) denied all knowledge of the circumstances. On searching, however, he found in a cupboard, in a pickle jar, eleven strings of the pearls. Al'hile Lee was at Kentish Town, the prisoner came into Mr. Sparrow's house as usual, where he was detained until Lee's return. On teaching him, one string more was found in his shoe, where he had put it, suspecting the purpose for which he was detained. He then confessed to where the remainder of the property was to be found at his own house, and declared that he was tempted to commit the robbery on finding the iron chest open on the preceding Friday, and so ignorant was he of their value, that after getting possession of theist, he was afraid to offer them anywhere for sale. On Lee's again searching his re sidence, but three of the ornaments were found, leasing still a de ficiency of ore ornament and eight strings, all knowledge of which the prisoner denies. The prisoner was fully committed for trial. A seen 1/04.4 ORDERED FOR EX CttTsO,e.—A fine little )wry, of the cause of Pike, ten years of age, was brought to the office, accompanied by his father and mother, and a number of nWei. hours, to complain of the child being bit by a ferocious dog kepty a woman 'teeniest Duffer, mid her daughter, living in Titsb.oswit, Gray's Inn-lane. Joseph Rayner, of 5, Tash-street, deposed he had seen theft, which was left unmuuled, bite three other children, and that iv had also bit the Tax Collector in the leg. Several other persons spoke as to the ferocious disposition of the dog, which was suffered to roam about unmarried, to the great an noyance and danger of the neighbours. The Magistrates granted a summons, which they ordered to be screed for Mrs. Duffer's appearance, and ordered Thiselton, the officer, to bring the dog forthwith to the office. The summons was served ; the defendant, after a refusal, at last attended; this dog was brought in strongly mai:relied and chained ; it was a eery strong dog, between the bull sued mastiff breed ; he was foaming at the mouth, and appeared very ferocious. and was dragged along by force ; he was brought into the yard of the lock-up-house, and ti to an iron staple, where the two Magistrate*, clerks, and officers, came to see him ; and though strongly tied, every person was fear ful of approaching him. The defendants denied that the dog was their property, althea. they admitted they kept and fed him for the last fate months, sod finally signed their consent to have him hanged, which sentence the Magistrates ordered the officers to put in execution, which, after the office was cleared, they immodiately attended to. Atonal timer, a man who professes hintself to be a lawyer, was charged by William Fry, driver of the Hackney coach No. 534 for not paying hint the hire of his coach. I The complainant stated that the defendant took his coach at Euston.square, at half-past one o'clock on last Friday afternoon, drove from one sporting and flash house to another, and set down at half-past six at the house of Correction, being in all five hours. which, for time, amounted to thirteen shilling, which the defend ant told him lie could not pay, in consequence of which he sum. moncd hint. The defendant said be certainly acknowledged the coachman's claim, but he ought not to be hard with him, for he treated hint with brandy, gin, &c. at all the flash houses at which he stopped. The coachman told him if he paid him, he would not charge for his loss at' time. The defendant being unable to pay the complainant's demand, and costs, amounting in the whole to IN. 6'41. was sentenced to one month's imprisonment in die House of CelTeetiOtt, if not soonerpaid. A SELECT PARTY OF OFNTLEWOMEN.—Three ladies, re siding on one side of Bell-court, Saffron-hid, appeared " via a vile* against three residing on the opposite side, the principals being a al TS.

In this ease both the pasties were engaged in a partnership con cern, for digging stones in Yorks Lire for paving the streets of Lon don. The plaintiff had obtained an injunction to restrain the de fendant from using the name d the firm, on the allegation that a dissolution of partnership had taken place by mutual consent. Lord ir row) said, that it appeared by the defendants affida vit that no consent had been given on his part, and that therefore the plaintiff could not dissolve the partnership without the consent of the defendant, or giving - him due notice of such intention. ths this ground the present injunction must be dissolved. WINCELLY V. I.OIID DE LA ZOUCIIE. Mr. Moos% applied for an order of Court to appoint a proper receiver for the rents and profits of en estate in Oxfordshire, be. longing to Lord de la Zouche, on the ground that the rents were not dt present satisfactorily accounted for. Mr.I3ICRERSTETII misted the motion. No CAW of miston. duct•bad been made out against the gentleman who now received the rents, and he therefore trusted, that the motion would be dis charged. Lord GIFFORD was of opinion that no ease had been made out against the present receiver. There had been no misapplication of the rents; a decrease in the relit' was a matter of course—in fact, since 1821, nothing was more common than applications to the Court for a reduction of rents in consequence of the reduced value of produce. Ile thought, therefore, that the present application must be refused, and refused with costs. Alotiou refusal. INSOLVENT DEBTOR'S COURT, ArOVIT 12.
