Fax, the Annual eeting of the Blau cestershirtOwneltutional Whig Club took place at the King's Head, likuicester, in commemoration of that event. Although, from a variety of cantos, the attendance was not so full as up dia. yet a numerous and highly respectable party or gestlctnen of the county and city met their President, Major Oenerel The mood routine bovines% of the club was transacteti bdore dinner, when sevtrtd new members *ere elected, and the report of the pr;ss. litmus state of the funds was highly gratifying. About four o'clock the party adjourned to the dining-room, where an entertain ment, unite in character with Mr. Dowlines accustoined taste and liberality, was served up. Nothing was wanted to complete the pleasures of the table ; but tie great enjoyment of the day arohe from the continued succession of patriotic and censtitntional semi nienta, which kept the minds of all present In a *tate of highly• wrought interest throughout the whole of the evening. Oa the removal ofthe cloth, the first toast given by the President as--- The ging and the Coostitutien, and may the filmset never for get the sentiment so honourable to himself, mid so woolly of a British Monarch, that the Crown is licid in trust tor the :ienetit of the people." This toast was received and drunk with great applause, as were likewise those of— • .. " Ilia Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex ;" and " His Royal Highness the Duke of Gloucester." The gallant Par:sloe NT then addressed the meeting in nearly the follow ng terms " I now rise to propose the toast appropriate to this day, and coctnemorative of that illustrious Statretian, the splendor of 10 , sts • talents so often shone forth in the arse of freedom and the t institution. On such an occasion it may be weld to look back a little into the page of hi-tory, and trees how far a dereliction of Whig principles has proved Injurious tii the best interests of the community. Since the lamented death of Mr. Fox, the paisent Ministry, by artifice and intrigue, seized the helm of the State, the chief director of which (the late Lord Castlereagh), without talent, or one spark of patriotic feeling, sacrifited to his own self ish anthitiOrs the character of the country, prostrating alike before the shrine of that Unholy .4 'liana, our policy. our commerce, and our turd faith t and at the semi time strensoinly opposing every strieafte for frt.:dons and the people's rights, both at home ' and abroad.

If we tumour eyes honiee an!. the scene appears equally gloomy.

Ihe public burdens have in sonic degree been alleviated, end the foreign policy not altoeether no subservient to the dictates of the Holy Alliance. But still let us be on our guard; too much of the old leaven remains, to hope for a thorough reformation of abuses, without which no permanent advantage can be obtained. To prove this, we need only observe the timid conduct pursued to wards Spain, and the time-serving and doubtful policy towards South A /Hail= Had a more manly and decisive tone been as sumed, and the Foreign Enlistment Act been repelled, Spain Might still have been free, and our interests with South America, both political and cummercial, firmly secured. klark, ton, the weakness evinced last Session towards that oppressive and car 'opt Orange faction, who, whilst they domineer over the Irish refloat, set at defiance the State, the Parliament, and the Laws. Let, then, the whole Whip of England stand forth in support of Parlitunernary Reform staff the just rights of the people - . Let doss rouse our Eepresentatives to their duty ; and, whilst we in. 'eke the name of Fox, let the solemn appeal be a watch-word to rally all the virtue and energy ok the nation round the standard of the Constitution. The President then concluded by proposing - " The immortal memory of the Right lion. Charles James Fox"—which was drunk standing and in silence. Colonel BE na ELcir then rose, and, in proposing the health of the President, heartily congratulated the - Meeting upon the seal and ability which he had displayed, ati well in the excellent ad shess which be had just delivered, as in conducting the general - business of the Club. When the applause with which this heist was received had rob., sided, General Gr tse. returned Busks in a brief speech. Colonel BERKELEY again rose, and, in to most handsome dub proposed the health of Sir William Guise, the ti'hig Alen. ter for the County, observing, that ati en honest Whig, he felt' 'called upon to mike one remark respecting their worthy Retire kentative's first election. On that wawa, it was well known that lithiself and a considerable portion of the Whip of the county were placed in array against Sir William Guise, who at that time gained a great victory; but the Hon. Baronet had sines then rertherved a still greater triumph; for such had been the unifonn eon. amtency of his Parliamentary conduct with the principles he had ever professed, that he might now reckon Lord Sherborne, himself, and all the other Whip who then opposed him, amongst the pawnehest of his friends. . . „. ....... Immense applause followed this toast; after which Sir William returned his thanks for the very flattering *ay in which the meet., jag had drunk hi health, and begged to convey his particular' acknowledgments to Colonel Berkeley, far the very handsome eaanzer in which he had introduced it. The worthy B onet then : proceeded to observe that since the death of Lord Londonderry, and the removal of 3lr . Vansittart to the House of Peers, the present Chancellor of the Bede/wet had et inced a disposition to relieve' the country from the pressure of some of those burthens, which had become so great as almost to overwhelm it. For this tin was in some measnre entitled to the gratitude of the country; and he *aped he would continue to pursue the same track. The near ap prtrtch of the session of Parliament called upon itim to prepare ler the resumption of his public duties; and for himself he could only sar„ that it was his hmt intention to use all possible exertion in supporting (levy propreitiim for the reduction of taxation. At the aatue time he expressed his hope that, by a system of economy and retrenchment, and by a considerable reduction of the milittv-y ..eit4b:lehment of the country (which he thought was aOraillaMl more for the sake et the patrenege and power tt *inferred, than far any real use), a large porion of the existing hurthens might ,W ;akin off. After a few other remarks, the Ben. Baronet eon. cliodad by returning thanks for the attention with which he had been heard, ant sit down amidst the cheers of the company. The gallant General next proposed, in a very complimentary apes* the health of their late President, Colonel Berkeley, which 'en immured with the in wt flattering notice rout rfl idea, and for which the Colonel returned thanks in a forcible and well-delivered spc.t:h. • Cannel Wens, the Whig member for the City, was next given by Cob Backeley, in the recent Memorable terms; and the mew Was drunk with the moat enthusestie bursts of applause.

Mr. C.. then proceeded to make some re marks upon the political state of Europe, and observed, with re ference to the Holy Alliance, that their conduct proved them to have assumed the character of the undertakers of the Continent, who coetracted for the burial of the liberties of Europe, making the destruction of those liberties the best source of emolument to themselves. Ir. C. next adverted, with touch feeling, to the re marks which had fallen from the President with regard to the situ ation of Ireland, observing, that he had there touched the chord on which all their sorrows vibrated. Ile lamented much the diTerence of opinion which pc-era/led on certain topics connected with that w e unfortunate eentecjr, t still looked forward wi th hope to the day when. all might ti f l it wi th him, that five millions of his Majesty's subject*, who enj in common wit)) their fellow-creatures, the breath of Heaven Air, the almighty providence of God deigned to give them, were 2146 entitled to a participation in that political cli mate,of which the Ministers held the thermometer. In concha- Sion, the eloquent speaker besought the individuals then present to abstain from sudden or ill-digested decisions, either with reference to the present or fame state of political affairs--to let the acts of Ministers, not their professions, speak for them, and to hold their best energies in readiness, in case the moment should arrive when it woulu become their duty or their interests to em ploy them. General Gems then proposed one of the chief pillars of our Constitution, that inestimable blessing, the " Trial by Jury," one of the crowning ornaments, and the capital of which, we had now to lament as lest to the nation. lie meant that excellent and con stitutional lawyer, 1.0 , 1 Erskine—a constitutional lawyer in the strictest sense of the cord, and consistent in the cause of the Cu,'.

Let, th'n, his name always stand united with that blessing which his exertions taught us std well toaPiwe elate. " The Memory of bad Erskine, and the Trial by Jury." The following touts were then given in succession : Mr. Colchester; (Mr. (1. returned thanks).—Mr. Clive. and success to him at Hereford —Rey.

Hicks returned thanks.)— Rev. Mr. I.hre on . —The l iberty of the Pieta—peal/mit, to the Club.--The Mayor and Corporation of Gloucester. The Gallant Prlnsinsier introduced the next toast, by ob serving, that when we looked around and saw the Holy Alliance trampling under fbot every spark of trtedom, wherever to be met with, and the equally Holy Inquisition giving its assistance in striving to quench the flame of religious liberty, so that the cause !of freedom is nearly extinguished in Europe, let us hail her re-op- ' pearantie on the Smith American contirent, and may her torch burn with brighter add brighter radiance, till it illuminate anti blaze ninniphant throughout the world. Ile therefore begged to wom " The Cause of Civil and Religions Liberty all over the Globe. " Mr. P. HICKS immediately rose, to request that the name of Admiral Guise might be counted with that toast, whose late and present gallant exertions in the close of liberty, in the very quarter alluiled to, justly entitled him to that tiiatinetion. This suggestion was adopted by acelastatim, and the toast drunk with reiterated cheers.

In this cue, which related to the striking two Solicitors of Hull off the list of Solicitors, The Loan CIIANCZILLOR said that hehadesamined the petition of the Solicitors, but was of opinion that it should come in its regu lar. order. The case of Ortmstead had taken up great length of time, and if the other case of bankruptcy took up equal time, the' 'ourt would hare no other duty to perform than to entertain cases of bankruptcy : It was the practice of this and other Courts to insist on limiting ths o number of Counsel that they should hear. If the parties would-agree that one Counsel should be heard on ,lath side be would entertain it out of course, otherwise it must come on in its order. SIR GREGORY PAGE TURNER. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL rose 10 present a petition from the mother of Sir Gregory Page Turner, praying that she and Mr. Baron, who married the stater of Sir G. P. Turner, might be appointed committees of the lunatic. 111 r. P):MIIERTON said that they were not next of kin to Sir G. P. Turner. The SoLicyrow-GEstrnAi. was rot aware that the petition would be opposed, and, with his Lortlship'simrmiassion, he would resume it on Thursday. The LORD CHANCELLOR ordered the petition to stand over to Thursday morning. multi - TEAT) IN RE DOWARD AND GIRDS. ... Mr. Hoene resumed the argument in this cause. Ile com menced by commenting on the evidence of Mr. Gibbs relative to the honk which passed between the parties, and in which their ac counts were balanced and adjusted. The argument on which his learned friends !relied for giving credence to 31r. Gibbs was, that he came forward to convict himself, and disclose his past miscon duct. It certainly would be creditable in him to redeem himself ; but the contradictory and false testimony which he gave on that occasion removed any favourable sill position that he enterained a dispesition of redeeming himself. As to the allegation of Grim stead being the dupe of Gibbs, he would rather say he was the dupe of his own avarice, of a deaire of getting 10 per cent., and not being satisfied. What was the conduct of this easy, simple man, when he first heard of the fraud of which he now so pathetically complains? If this feeling of surprise and indignation was so strong on the mind of Orin-mend now, it would be at least equally strong at the time of the bankruptcy. 1 When the communication of the fraud was made by Mr. Porter to Mr. Grimstead, instead of taking up all his papers from :11r. Gibbs, instead of the natural indignation and surprise which might be expected, Mr. Porter returned with a power of attorney to Gibbs to take up his di vidends. The Loan Cusses:Eton inquired if Mr. Grimstead knew, at the time that he gave the power of attorney, that he had been de- fraud:al of the money by Gibbs . Mr. lionst replied, that he knew of the har;rnoptcy, and with the power of attorney which Mr. Orimstead gave he also gave an affidavit to prove his debt under the commission. This was con duct strange and extiamdinary indeed. He would next advert to the statement of Mr. Grinistead respecting Mr. Porter, whom his beamed Friend seemed desirous of cot introducing into the con-' sideratinn of the case. In his own petition to the Vice-Chancellor, ! Mt. Grimstead termed Mr. Porter " his confidential friend ;" whilst his learned feiends would fain rvesent him as an utter stranger to that petitioner. In another part of his petition he re. presented Mr. Porter as " an utter stranger" to him, who intro duced himself at ('alais, and said, amotigst other things, that im proper as the conduct of Gibbs had been, h s hoped that hc (Grim- stead) would not sustain any material loss. lie was at a loss to know how his lea rn ed friends would reconcile statements so contra dictory. He (Mr. Horne) was cmrided to infer from it, that Mr. flrimatead's evidence was not entitled to credit, and therefore that tits testimony, as well as that of Gibbs, should be altogether left out of the matters at issue. There was a remarkable coin cidence in the conduct of Gibbs and Grimstead, in the circum stance of ftbeir both destroying and burning several letters which would explain the nature of the transactions between them. The expression of Lord tinnthmore was, that he found that " Grim stead burned the letters by wholesale." Even the letter which eorter brought from Gibbs to Orinuttead, to Calais, was burned. This and the other letters might hire been evidence of the fraud, if a fraud had taken place. This circumstance warranted a sus picion, and, indeed, almost amounted'to a proof, that Porter had advised the burning of these letters whith were likely to throw light upon the transaction between Gibbs and Grimstead. It was a circumstance too worthy of notice, that after the bankruptcy and after the accusation of fraud, the utmost con fi dence existed be tween these two gentlemen, aid that Grimatead had authorised Gibbs by power of attorney to collect the dividends and the an nuities that remained in the possession of Mr. Orimaterat The martian in which the Vice-Chancellor disposed of this cast was the subject of severe animadversion by his learned friends • they had said th at a denial of the justice of the country had be en Made to Mr. Grimstrad when this case was before his Honour. It had been said that no argument took place in his Honour's Court. He (Mt. Horne) held in his hand a copy of the short-band writer's notes of the arguments that were heard treble the Vice-Chancellor. There were eighty pages of close riot allotted to Mr. Hart, al though the affidavits which he read were not inserted in the book. The Vice-Chancellor, besides, had read the whole of the docu mentary evidence, containing the various and long examinations that had taken place before the conthihsionerti, the letters and affidavits to which he bad referred. On the whole, his Honour's judgment on the petition was not given until a full bearing of argument, and ample al investigation. The Learned Counsel then detad of the proceedings subsequent to the judg- Mak of tt tl7l t!!.(,'kjucelor, to the time of trial. He would ask te'NdthlPONCifte Proceealasp before the Vice-Chaagellor, aner aff that trim sceistreo. Oslo for nothing? Ten hours had been occupied id trying the case, and was the oinsidetailon of so long a trial tb go for tiottfng ? It had, indeed, been gravely argued, that ten hours wen an insufficient portion of time to try . It • It wouldhe hard, Medd, upon the suitors of this country—indeed, atmolt every bottle in the country should be convened into a court of justice—if a simple question, such as that of " usury or no usu" were to take tin hours to determine. 7ne Loan Chatter iron said, that with the highest respect for both the Vlatt-Chancellor and Chief Justice Dallas, and with a disposition noble m suppose that he himself might be wrong than that they were not right, be certainly was of opinion that, neither in antthing that fell from the Vice-Chancellor, nor in any thing con.

No evidesve had be offered am to the ineans possessed by the witness to entiblehim to meet math kisses ; on the contrary, it was amply proved that at this period Winans was in the common habit of bor rowing motley io small sums, frequently so low as half a crown. Another saspicions circumstance was, that the whole of the items was included width; the year, which enabled tie plaintiff to sue. Indeed, the beamed Counsel contended, that the paper was no &Übe alteketber Is fabrication, as it appeared to have been written all at one tiro& Wiliam had further stated that Taylor resin the habit of attending the play -*nom, and that e.:estions and disputes were In:fared to him fur decision ; and it had been proved on the other hand by mein than one witness, that during the whole of this period, TitOor 'tern-once was in thereon; but intd entirely with. 1it.31 , 11 himself.

AIL Sergeant Vst:i.n Ait moved for a rule to chew cause why the verdict which had been given for the plaintiff's in this case should not be set aside. The action was brought by the plaintiff's, as sureties for the defendants, to the amount of ♦l6l. debt and costs, in an action brought against them, as attorneys, by the principal of the plaintiff's, in consequence of their negligence. The Learned Sericant contended, that as there was no express proof that the money was paid out of a joint stock fund, the action could not be maintained. . . Mr. Sergeant I'ArC;IIAW cited several cases, where it had hem held that parties could nut recover jointly, unless they had paid out of a joint fund ; but that they mit4t bring separate actions.• The Cory T said, that as it did not appear nut of what fund the money had been paid, he Eck that the rule ought to be granted. HAL:, Mr. Sergeant VA re. u A v moved for a rule to shew cause why the verdict for the plaintiff in this case should not be set aside, and a new trial granted. It was an action brought upon a bill of ex change, and was tried before Mr. Justice Burrough, at the Sit tinge after last Term. 'rile bill was drawn by a person named Little, and accepted by the defendant to meet losses that he had sustained in consequence of gambling transactions that he had en tered into in the funds. The bill got into the hands of the plain tiff; who brought his action for the amount, and obtained a ver dict. The Learned Sergeant contended that the verdict ought to be set aside on three grounds-Ist, because there was evidence enough adduced on the trial for the jury to infer that the tranaat tion was illegal : 2dly, because the brokerwho had done the time bargains was bound, when he was called as witness, to answer the questions put to him, as the 46th Gm. 111, chap. 41, enacts that • broker is bound to answe- all questions respecting transactions in the stocks that he has knowledge of, although such answers should subject the party to a civil action, either at the suit of the King, or any fellow-subject ; but he admitted that A broker was not bound to answer any questions that exposed him to the pc- Palsies of • criminal suit; and 3dly, because the broker did not produce his book, which he was bound to do under the enact ments of Sir John Rarnard's Bill, which makes it peremptory on brokers to keep books, for the purpose of making entries of stork transactions they are engaged in. The Learned Sergeant thought that Sir John Barnard's Bill would be non-effective, if the Court could not compel a stock-broker to produce his books. It was nugatory for entries to be made, if they were not available for the purposes of the act, Mr. Sergeant Vaughan submitted, that by reason of the broker not answering the questions put to him on the trial, and not producing the book in which the en tries of the tranianioas which produced the bill of exchange were made, were grounds sufficient for the Court to grant his motion. The Couar thought it a point deserving consideration, and therefore granted the rule. WILI,III v. DtAPLESON AND Yt7CELE•. Mr. Sergeant VAUGHAN moved foe a rule to shew cause why the verdict fur the plaintiff in this case should not be set aside, and a new stria] granted, on the payment of costs and bringing the money into Court. Mr. fflapteaon was a gentleman of great respectability, and bad the honour to be eupper to his Majesty. Unfortunately for his client he had taken a man into partnership named Buckler, who had accepted bills on the partnership account for his own accommodation, and the one under date of the 30th of September, which the Learned Sergeant believed had been ante dated for the purpose of bringing it within the partnership account, was of this desertpuon. It was darn} Sept. 30, lit2ll, was drawn by a man named Charters, and was for 84401 The partnership ceased in October IMO. There was no partnership debt. as their Lordships must be aware a nipper could want no stock in trade, and it was purely a trussaction for the accommodation of Buck ler. The plaintiff had proved merely a prima facie case, and re covered upon than lie now held in his hand an affidavit from Mr. Mapleson, and another from the drawer of the bill, Charters. He was aware that the Court would pay but little attention to the unsupported affidavit of his client, but Charters' affidavit was im portant, for it stated that Willis was privy to every eineumstanee connected with the bill, and knew that it was tOr Buckler's accom modation. The COURT inquired if Charters' affidavit stated that it was not known to Mapkson where he was at the time of the trial. Mr. Sergeant I'AUGH•N said that it did not go that length, but it declared that Willis had desired him to keep out of the way. • The COVRT held that anything his a ffi davit stated. Charters, on the trial, might have proved ; and if the defendant wished for his evidence, it did not appear that he had used due diligence to pro cure it ; he had not sought him out to bring hint forward as an evidence. Rule resod. TAYLOR 1 . . lIINGT.Y.. Mr. Sergeant PELL moved for ■ rule to alley cause why the verdict for the plaintiff in this ease should not be set aside, on the ground that the verdict was against evidence. The case was tried at the sittings after last term, before Mr. Justice Burrough. It was an action of trespass brought by the plaintiff against the de fendant, who is a bricklayer (and only the nominal defendant in in this action. Mr. Barber Beaumont being the real one), for da nlegcs done by him in making certain erections at the Weavers' Arras public-house, at Mile-end. The Collar ruled that this case had been fully before the Jury, and mold see no reason for disturbing the verdict. Rule refused. EDWARDS, CLERK r. SELL AND OTHERS. - •• • • • Mr. Sergeant PELL moved that there be a verdict in this ease entered tbr the plaintiff, on the genera/ plea, notwithstanding the verdict for the defendant. It was an action brought by the plain tif, the Rev. George Hdwards, the Minister of a Dissenting Chapel at Great Marlow, against the defendants, as printers and proprietors of the Times newspaper, for a libel, in having pub lished a certain paragraph, charging him with having made the pulpit the vehicle for female slander, in publicly attacking the character of a virtuous young lad, a member of his congregation. The ease was tried before Mr. Justice Burrough, at the Sittings after hat Trinity Tenn. The words used, and copied from the hacks Chronicle, were these:—" I have something to say, which I have thought of mentioning for some time, viz., the improper conduct of one of the female teachers ; her name is Miss Fair; and if any of the children dare ask her to go home they shall be turned nut of the school, and never enter it again. Miss Fair does more harm than good." The ease went to the Jury upon these issues, and they found a verdict for the defendants, on the plea of justification, and fur the plaintiffon the general issue--Dameges Mr. Justice PARK read the record of the pleadings. The first plea denied the libel, and the '2:l plea declared that Margaret Pair did assist in the management of the Sunday School, and was a ' person of great merit and spotless reputation. Me. Sergeant PELT. submitted that the libel imported one thing, and the justification or jostificatory matter another. Mr. Sergeant VAI'ORAK showed cause against the rule, and said that the question was, whether the plea was good, or the justi fication sufficient? It had appeared in the Tint:: newspaper, and he was not certain whether it was a libel or not. If it was one, it certainly was one of the most milk-and-water and diluted libels h. had ever met with—for what did it state ?—that a Dissenting Minister hail thrown nut an aspersion against a lady of spotless re putation and distinguished merit ; therefore it was a reflection on him to throw out such an observation on any pay; and that was the libel. Rut the law held that the truth was a sufficient justi6- ! cation ; the plaintiff had said that Miss Fair's conduct was a disgrace to the school; and the question was, if that was not a personal invective, the giving publicity to which had caused dis sension in his congregation ? Should it be permitted to any one to make the pulpit a vehicle for these personal allusions and invec tives, against any individual ? It should be remembered that the paragraph stated that a serious misunderstanding had taken place in the congregation, and nix between the Minister and his congvega thin : a serious misunderstanding had taken place in the congrega tion in consequence of these expressions of the plaintiff. The justifi catton was co-extensive with the libel. The libel imported the misunderstanding ; the justification did the same. Mr. Sergeant TADDY, on the same side, observed, that to main tain such an action, it was necessary for the plaintiff to show a wilful perversion of language. The question was, whether the de fendants had made a malicious and wilful misrepresentation? If the weeds were even not exactly the same the action could not be maintained. The Learned Sergeant cited the ease of Lewis and Clements, 3d Barnewall and Alderson Reports, 702. It was a case heard in the Insolvent Court, and headed "Shameful con duct of an Attorney." Although the accottot was hit. it was evi dent something had been added on the writer's own authority. He considered the present action so far founded in truth as to cieelude the purpose of malice. There was no addition, as in the case he hod quoted ; and, under all the circumstances, he treated the Court would rot ant the motion. Mr. Sergeant PE gr LL, in support of the motion, contended that the malice had been proved by the damages, and he thought a mote malignant libel was never published. The discourse related to Miss Fair, as a teacher in the school, and her condu 3 in that capacity, and did not, he submitted, come under the denomination of personal invective. But the most serious part of the libel was, that a serious misunderstanding had taken place between the plaintiff and his congregation. The Learned Sergeant contended, that the words were not the same, and the libel not justified. Mr. Sergeant Praia: followed on the sonic side. The CMET Jurrice stated, that this was an action bmtlght by the plaintiff, who stated himself to be the minister of a dissenting congregation at Great Marlow, against the defendants, as proprie , tors and printers of the Timers newspaper, for a libel. The gist and sting of the libel consisted in its stating that he used the place set apart for religious •orship for the purpose of calumny against • young lady of spotless reputation. The libel did not state that the wards were used in a sermon, but that they were used in the pul pit ; and the serious misunderstanding between the pastor and the congregation might only mean, that a misunderstanding had taken place In the congregation, of which the minister was one. On that par of the libel, in which it was stated that steps were about to be taktuin c4usequence of the worth used, it might not Imply a ,em„,l of t h e minister, but it mien MOO doter friends woui.l take tna young lady from sehttuL Under all the circumstances his horiNtip thaught that the Jutlgtnetst ought to wind.

CHARGE or .1n•os —John Wells, a jobbing bricklayer, who stood remanded, charged with setting his ho use on fire, In F ort. street, Mile-end Old Town, was yesterday finally examined before Joint HARDWICIEE, Ettl. the Sitting Afagiatrate. The prisoner is a man of rather respectable appearaaae. Mr. HARM E a attended professionally for him, and e following evi. donee was adduced:— Mr. J. Rumeey sworn.—The prisoner was a tenant of his in the house Li question, and had ran in arrear two quarters. He applied to him for the rent on the 'Arth inn. ; but, instead of his promunag to pay it., he wished him to take his goods; at the sense time oh. aerving—" I'll stay at home all day to-ronnow." Witness did take away all the goods on the 2lst, having seized on them for the rent. He did not do so from vindictive motives, but in a friendly manner ; and, en the name night, the alarm of fire was given. Turner sworn—Witness is servant at the Duke of York public.houae, which iv next door to the prisoner's house. About • quarter past eleven o'clock on the night alluded to, he was going out with a pot of hecr, when he was met by the prisoner at the door, who requested a light, which witness gave him. In about half an hour afterwards, as the female servants were going to bed, they per their room full of smoke, which appeared to be coming from the prisoner's house, and mite an alarm of fire; and, on witness's going out, he saw a person come from the house with some burning wood, and throw it in the street. ti itntas afterwards went into the house, and saw a quantity of wood 'blazing in the grate in the back kitchen on the ground floor. John Ilan sworn—Witness saw a great deal of wood on fire is the chimney of the prisoner's house; a neighbour wok out some of it, and he himself brought out more. The Me appeared to be made intentionally, and to h'e consistedof a clipboard door, which was wrenched off; there was a considerable quantity tttoro than w-s necessary to make a tire in the grate at the time. Judah sworri--IVitneas was parsing through YorLetreet, about a qua-ter before twelve o'clock, on the night of the 21st instant, and saw sparks conair.g out of the top of the prisoner's house. The watchman and the prisoner were attending at the door when he came up, and he said to the former, "'the house is en foe, why don't you go in ?" Upon which the primacy answered, " Yet it is, I set it on fire," and he soon after walked away. The weds. man and witness went into the house; they were the first who en. tered it, and found a large quantity of wood ea fire in the grate, which was shortly extinguished. The prisoner returned in about half an hour, and wee then taken into custody. Mr. Hardwicke—ln what state did he appear to to at the time? Witness—He appeared to be very drunk. The watchman said, that previous to the alarm being given by the last witness he informed the prisoner, who was star.ding at the door, of the lire ; but he said it would " come to no hurt," and that he was " quite tired of the house." Witness accompanied Judah into the house, and found the place " all on fire." 3lr. HARMER observed, that under Lord Ellenborough's Act. it was necessary to prove that some part of the house was on fire, and that it was dime with a malicious intent ; but that here there was no direct evidence to establish these facts. Several persons of respectability, - who had known the prisoner for many years, spoke in the highest terms a s to hi s g en era l cha ratter. Ile had been a master-builder once, in an opulent way of business; but being reduced, through misfortunes in trade, hi gave himself up latterly to drinking, and when drunk was uo better than a madman. The 31agistrate said there could be little doubt that the fire made in the grate was dune with the intention of destroying OW house; but that still he was inclined to think it was the act o f a drunken frolic, which amounted to a misdemeanour, foe width be wart liable to be indleral. Mr. !I AR NEI oheerved, that whatever M bathe annequess of the preseen proceedings, be hoped it w ould be a caution to ha client how he should act for the future. _ _ The prisoner vu taiinately — cliseEged from the Isar. It was evident that Mr. Itunisey no wish to press the matter any further. ALLEGED SEVERITY OF AN OVER'Ern.—Ten seemingly hull-working . poor fellows applied for redress to the Magistrate, us. der the following circumstances : It appears that, during the winter, any of the men who become chargeable to the parish of Westham, sad who are capable of work, are employed by the pariah in drawing sand from a pit, and shoot. ing It at Stratford, about a mile distant, for the purpose of repair. Mg the roads in the summer. It is drawn from the pit in carts or a peculler construction, to each of which is harnessed, after the manner of beasts of burthen, ten of these poor fellows, and fte which work they are allowed a certain remuneration. The pre. sent applicants formed a gang of these slaves; they did not, hov erer, entirely object to the work, but the object of their visit to his Worship was to complain and seek redress against the comb= of Mr. .Mundy, the perpetual overseer of the parish, residing at Strat ford, who, they now alleged, obliged them, under the eye of a re gular foreman, to work harder than they were actually capable of performing, as they were compelled to draw in the cart, for the dis tance alluded to, 324 cwt. of gravel, on a bad road, in part of which they were ancle-deep in mud. They presented rather a novel spectacle, having come to the office in their smock frocks, and regularly harnessed as when at work. The Magistrate, after patiently hearing their revolting am, said they had better apply to some of the local magistrates, who might be better acquainted with their cave than he was, and there. fore had a greater facility of alit:ding than props redress. The applicants, silo »re, replied that they had applied to Mr. Wilson, the Magistrate at Easthan, on the subject, and that it was his opinion they could not be compelled to work harder than they were actually capable of, and he wrote a letter by them to that effect, to Mr. Mundy, but be took no notice whAt• ever of it. :ili:llAarnricicE here took occasion to °bean, that the Me. gistrates had a power of punishing the orereees for such conduct ; and that as the case was out of his district, the applicants had bet• ter again apply to the local 31agiatrates. They were told that a 'tench of Magistrates sat once a fortnight at the Angel, in Ilford: that they had better lay their complaint before them, and that then their grievances would be thoroughly investigated and redressed. Upon this suggestion they all left the office. Roast as.—The other night some ruffians burglariouely entered the boon No. 1, Beak's-buildings, Wentwortb-street, Whitechapel, and plundered it of eleven sovereigns, sieves shil lings, a silver half-pint mug, two pair silver sugar-tongs, eleven silver table.apoona, six tes-wpoons. ■ silver pepper -aster, silver soup-ladle, silver sugar-basket, silver milk-pot, a pair of salver salts, and a bill of exchange f o r 21L drawn by Wolf and Levy. on Mr. Joseph White, of 15, Baker's-row, W aimed% and dated 7th Jan. 1821, at three months.
