I him It was us for eight years. making altogether eight sums of 8201. each, and the SW, to all of which the present motion applied. The VICE-Cttawe 'AA-um—Those are all sums (except the balance and the Exchequer Bills) which the defendant claims ; how then can the Court order them to be paid in now, because it does not yet appear but that the Raster will allow all thst he claims ? Mr. SIIADWELL apprehended that the examination showed ' that the items were of necessity such that the Court could Lot ' allow. The VtcE-CnawCgt.t.ton—Upon a motion like this I cannot decide such • question ; which to one proper only to be heard upon further directions. 31r. Roseau (for the defendant)—lt is not intended to decide upon that question now. Mr-SttAnwELL—What he apprehended was,that the Court would look at the language of the bents themselves to guide its decision. If the mime had been said simply to have been retained for ex- Prwcs, then no such motion •s this could have been made; but he thought that the Court would of necessity turn its attention to the particular hoguage of the items ; and if it appeared they were charges that could not be sustained, that then the Court would en tertain such • motion as the present. The cannot decide now whether the defendant is or is not entitled to retain throe sums. This is a matter of general direction. I will not state that there may . not be such a case of gross claim as that the Gott would not treat it as if no claim were made. Mr. !loner—This is not a ease made upon the 31aster's re port. but Is founded upon Memnon of a Mr. Roe, who has been employed by the ard.citors of these parties. - Mr. SHADWELL —I know nothing of Mr. Roe; I go upon the examination of the defendant himself. The VICL.CIIANCELI.OII understood it was upon the exa `asination of the defendant. Mr. SBADWCI.L—SO it is, your Honour. I ask, whether it is a fit thing toe a person, standing in the situations of executor and uustre, to be allowed such • large sum as 8201. a-year, for 8 years together, under the pretence of being retained by him for his trouble In the management of the trust estate? I apprehend that his perfectly settled law, that although • person who is trustee is entitled to repay himself all his disbursements, he is not entitled to retain whatever sums he thinks tie for his trouble in managing the trust estate. Thar is the ground upon which I rest this motion. I ask, whether this is not a gnus case of an exorbitant retainer. judging only by the language of the defendant himself in his examination ? But there is a further sum of 3.3071. 18.. Id. introduced into the defendant's schedule, in the following manner t—•• To the amount of bills of agents tied others, for the years 1812, 1813, and 1814, for sundry proceedings and expenses incarred regarding the said estates, and including part of the expenses of a petition to the House of Commons, for trying the right of voting in the borough of Weymouth. in consequence of which an Act of Parliament was passed, whereby the right of creating freehold votes by devise was regulated and declared-3,30V. Ills. Id." Now, your Honour will observe that there is nu statement of the names of the persons to whom— . - The VICE-CnAwccxxon—l repeat, that I cannot decide this now. You must except to the whole before the Master. and then bring it on regularly before the Court upon further directions. I cannot tell what part of these expenses the Master may ultimately allow; but you must pursue the usual course of the Court. Mr. SUADWELL—AIIow me to mention the balance that is in his hands. _ _ The Vicw•Cu.awcELLoa—That is a awn to which you are entitled. !fount —And which has hien since laid out and invested by a subsequent order of this Court. Mr..SHAIMELL was not aware of any such order. There was also the 7,0001. Exaltequer Bills. The defendant's Attorney said, the 7,0001. had been paid on account of the purchase of the land-tax rt Weymouth. Mr.floutrz said,it was quite obvious that his Learned friend had been instructed by persons who did not aceutately know the (Acts that hsdoccurred. All the money to which they had any claim had been already applied by the defendant as directed by the Court. Mr. WkIGHT (who was with Mr. Shadwell) °betray', that thin waa not the ease, for 20.0e01. had been received by Mr. Ure him self, from the American estates, since his examination was tiled. )Ir. flow x E—Perhaps you will state your authority for making such a s•atement. Me. 8/lADWELL.4 will sta•e my authority; it is that of 3lr. Frazer, who has made an affidavit, in which he said that the de. fentlant, about the middle of April last, informed the deponent that he ban, since he lodged his accounts in Chancery, received from America 20,0001., of which about 12,0001. was In the hands of Ransom and Co., being the produce of the trust estates in that country. Aod he also *fated, that in • letter written by Lord Allosray to Mr. lyre, there was the following passage :—•• When the banker's account is rendered, I trust it will appear that the whole funds"— The VICE-CHANCELLOR—But, Mr. Sliadwell, why do you read these letters, surely you do not mean to argue that the Court can decide upon the question now Mr. HORNE —Here has been a pamphlet published and circu lated throughout ell the club-houses of London, evidently with the view of ituriu the character of Mr. Ure. The as It does all other motions. _ Mr. buLsowELL-1 brought forward this motion upon the con tents of the resmination of the defendant himself. The VICE-CaaircELLow—l cannot enter into any discussion of it here: you roue go regularly before the Master, and bring the question forward upon further directions. 31r. 1101 NE observed that the present Solicitors of the plaintiff had hut just come into the cause, and had instructed Counsel with. out knowing the facts of the case. Mr. SHADWELL said they could not possibly know them with. nut having the papers, which the former Solicitors had not yet given np. Mr. 1101 NZ—Then his Learned Friend must know that the practice of this Court was quite clear that such a motion could not be fronded but upon a full - knowledge of the contents of the papers in the cause. Mr. SHADWELL—Whit he meant to say was, that they were not informed with respect to the orders about the 1.910. ss. and the 7,00 W. ; but he moved upon the facts exhibited cn the face of the examination, with regard to the other sums. The VICZ-CHANCELLOR—I assume that you more it four the examination ; but my objection is, that the Court cannot take your objections to that examination in this stage of toe proceedings. Mr. nom hoped his Honour would consider him entitled to the costa of the motion. The VICE-CIIANCELLOR—Yes, I think you are entitled to your COMB. Mr. W•10TIT begged to be allowed to state bow this cause had been conducted. When the proceedirgs were originally instituted, the solicitors wets Messrs. Shaw and Le Blanc, who were the soli citors to Lord Allover, and who by some strange mistake was in. traduced se a plaint& in the cause, but he having no purpose to answer by investigating Mr. Ure's accounts, the cause was lett un attended to. But when the present taJlititOn succeeded Messrs. Shaw and Le Blanc in the management of the cause, they found, upon the face of the examination of ,Jr. Ure, only about AIN items had been examined into: and they also found that by the defen dant's own statement he had received upwards of 14,0001. of money, beside+ seven or eight thousand pounds in Exchequer bills, which be had no pretence to claim. The defendant's Solicitor—The present Solicitors have rot been appointed by any order of the Court. Mr. WRIGHT—It is not necessary that they should be; they are ollicers of the Court, and act on their own responsibility. If they do wrong, they are answerable to the Court. The Vice-CoaNcet.Lon-31r. Wright, I cannot attend to this. The simple question before me is, whether you can except to the items to this premature stage, without going regularly be fore the ester;M and, according to the settled principles of the Court, 1 think you cannot. If you bap any complaint to make agnlttyt the solicitors, you must make a. vety different motion from the present. Torre is certainly a spirit here which does not belong to proceedings relating to a question of property. Mr. Wn t anre—.ln:l there is a spirit in this case which does not bettog to the principles of this COWL Mr. lloaxx—My Learned Frend has not said one word about the will of bit J. L. Johnstone. WRIOSIT—This estate at %Vermouth brings in only 1,3001. a year ; arid this Mr. Cre has charged 8201. a year far its manage ment, besides 2001. a year for an assistant. It is impossible any Court can say that a trustee is entitled to make such charges. Tire Vtc E.CHANCE 1.1.0 a—l f he Is not entitled to it, you know the proper course to bring him to account. Mr. Watattr—nnt them may be some danger in the delay that would intend it. It Is the danger oldie delay that brings us here. Mr. lion mg The secret rouxs out at last. It is quite obvious what'the purpose of all this is. The Vic g-Crtnec t.t.o a—There is not the least difficulty here, nor any reason why this c. • .! should be treated differently to what ts utast In all other eases of the kind. If the Soho:Ms do not do their duty. the parties enn set that right, upon a proper applicatioo being made. Mr. floe we—These gentlemen are not the Solicitors for the other plaint blotiou refuse', with costs.

The plaintiffs in this case, on the 24th of February, 1825. sold to the defendants twenty-nine 'chests of black tl-e, at the rate of M. per pound, amounting to 1,473/., which he engaged to pay oo the 2lth of May following. Shortly after the sale the price of the arti cle fell, and in consequence, previous to the 24th of May, the de fendant applied to plaintiff's to he allowed a further extension of time for payment, and, as a collateral security, lodged with them three chests of sapphire. The price of black dye continued to decrease, and the plaintiffs gave the defendant notice, that uuleaa he paid for it by a certain day, they should re-sell it and proceed against hint for any loss they might sustain by such re-sale. Ac cordingly, on the 21st of July, they re-sold the dye at ls. per lb., and by the present action sought to recover the sum of 3331. 165., being the loss bio re-sale. The Logo CrrtET J usTlct, after recapitulating the evidence to the Jury, stated that the only question for their consideration was, whether there had been an agreement to allow a further time for payment or not. If they were of opinion that the plaintift's had agreed to give further time for payment, that would certainly he a waiver of tiny claim for damage+. The Jury found for the defendant. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, TUESDAY, MAY 23. Sittings in London before the I,nnt. CHIEF JeSTICE and a Common Jury. CURTSTIAIf v. DOBEI.L. _ _ Mr. C. NMt ire opened the pleadings. 11 r.:4ergeant VAUGHAN said. this wan an action of assault. The plaintiff and defendant were publicans, who met at a certain public house on the general Harming day, they having both been to get their licenses renewed. The defendant was very athletic, and well conversant with the pugilistic art, and having science and strength combined, was more than a match for ordinary men. it wouht be proved that, without any provocation, this man struck the plaintiff and loorked him down. Plaintiff had no sooner got upon his leg. than defendant again struck him. and anntinued beating hint until he was so severely injured that the people of the house thought he would die. He was extremely ill in consequence, and was attended by a surgeon. The defendant had pleaded flint the gener II issue, and secondly a justification; and he had no doubt, therefore, he should have again to address them. Henry Taylor recollected seeing the plaintiff and defendant on the 7th March- at the Crown, Ilill.street, Ilasinglialhatreet. The plaintiff put his hand on the defendant's shoulder, and said de fendant wet a very good fellow. but that he told a lie, and nobody would believe him, or words to that effect. The defendant then struck th.: plaintiff a violent blow across the bridge of the nose, which knocked him down. Ile repeatedly struck him afterwards. Cmatt-examined—lle could not swear to the pre• ime words, but the plaintiff told the defendant nobody would believe him,and called him n liar. The plaintiff keeps a public-house, called the Lamb and Lark. A lad, named Dennis, corroborated the testimony of this wit ness, and swore that he was in the room during the whole time. 3lr. Blake, a surgeon, said the plaintiff appeared to have been very ill-used. His nose was injured; both his eyes were nearly closed ; and the whole done side of his face was black. Ile at tended the plaintiff a fortnight. This closed the case for the plaintiff. 31r. sergeant TADDY, fee the defendant, said he should prove that the plaintiff' had behaved himself in such a way as to deserve the chastisement he got. He had abused the defendant and threatened to knock him down stairs. He should have put in some better claim to the titles he had assumed. As his voice had wanted the melody of the " lark," and he was equally deficient in the mildness of the " lamb," he ought to have foreborne bringing in present action, like a good "Christian." (A laugh.) The Learned Sergeant thought, in reference to the plaintiff's threat to knock the defendant down stairs, the lines of the song would apply— " Perhaps it was right to dissemble your love, Rut why did you kick me down stairs ?" The plaintiff had been ill-advised w bring the present action. He recollected a story of a Colonel who forgot to pay some of his honourable debts at a gambling-hmse at the west end of the town, and the next time he presented himself in the room he was thrown out of a second-floor window. He consulted a friend about bring ing an action. but he was recommended, instead of doing this, not to play so high for the future. (A laugh.) If the plaintiff had received some such salutary advice it would have been more beneficial to him. One of the witnesses had said that the plaintiff tapped the defendant on the shoulder. This tap would turn out to be some thing more serious; but at all events it was not always the pleasantest thing in the world to be tapped on the shoulder, fur thi, sort of tap was often followed up very disagreeably. Thomas Cotterel was then called, and proved that the plaintiff shoved the defendant violently, called him a rogue. a fool, and a liar, and made use of the threat before referred to. He met the witness Dennis coming down stairs. The Loan CHIEF JUSTICE recalled Dennis, but be persisted in his former story of being in the room the whole time. Mr. Sergeant VAUGHAN Contended that his witnesses were en. titled to credit. His Learned Friend had extracted sonic of his jokes from a gambling-house at the West end of the town, but h believed the parties in this cause had little to do with fashionable life, and, instead of playing high, played perhaps rather too low. The Loan CHIEF JUSTICE summed up; and The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff--Damagts, One Farthing. HIGH COURT OF ADMIRALTY, TUESDAY, MAI 23. [Before the Right Hon. Lord STOWELL.] MISCONDUCT OF A PRIZE AGENT. Lord SrowEzr. this day proceeded to give judgment in a case, which, he observed, was one of rather unusual occurrence in that Court : it was a suit against the securities of a prize agent, who had tailed to perform his duty under the following circumstances. In the year 1810, La Lutine, and three other French vessels, were captured by his Majesty's ship Impetuous. which was at that time commanded by Captain Garth. One of the four vessels was cap. tured within sight of another of his Majesty's ships, the Captain and crew of which were of course entitled to share in the distribu. tion of that prize. The four vessels were brought into Plymouth, condemned to the captors in the ordinary way, and the produce lodged in the hands of Mr. John Teed, for distribution, as prize agent. 31r. Teed having tailed to distribute the produce of the prizes within a year, as he was bound to do, and several unavailing applieatiens having been made to him on the part of the captors, the Treasurer of the Navy commenced proceedings against him in 181 S; but these proceedings proved ineffectual, as 31r. Teed was returned Member of Parliament for Grampound. and sheltered himself under his privilege. Proceedings were therefore delayed until the dissolution of Parliament in 1813, when they were again renewed, and the answer to the summons issued against Mr. Teed was, that he had 'mated such serious losses of property, that he was, in Oct, become bankrupt, and that the claimants n;ust expect nothing from him. Proceedings were then instituted against Messrs. Slade and Rowe, who had become sureties for Mr. Teed to the amount of five thousand pounds. Mr. Slade was re: aiding in the West Indies. and it did not appear that any separate proceedings were taken against him ; but the suit was against the a‘signees of the second surety, Rowe, who had become bankrupt. The assignees objected to the payment of the bond out of Rowe. estate, on the groudd that the bankrupt had only become security for Teed's good conduct as a price agent, and was not answerable for any deficiency of property which might accrue from lases in. cuffed by turn in trade, or any other apecutition. In answer to this objection the Court observed, that the produce of prizes placed in an agent's hands was a sacred deposit ; that if the agent ap plied this produce to his own purposes, it was a deviation from his duty ; and that as Mr. Teed had so applied the captors' money, it was a breach of that rectitude of conduct which the sureties gua- ranted. The assignees also objected that the sure :ea had gone on in blind vcurity , and thought that Mr. Teed had discharged all his enga , fements, until suddenly tilled upon to supply his deficiencies. The Court held that this was no excuse, as every one knew that he expo Ned himself to much hazard when he became security for an other : it was, an advoottiroun undertaking to become security for the good conduct or another ; and it belonged to the sureties to look to the due execution of an office which affirded great temp. tattoos to the misapplication of money. puler all the circum stances, the Court pronounced the bond entered into by the secu rities forfeited, and that the amount chimed by the captors. which was 2,6441. 6s. /Id. should be considered a claim on the estate of Rowe. CITY BUSIXESS. Yesterday the Lord Mayor held a Court of Aldermen at thaildhalL The Sheriffs delivered in statements of the number of prisoners in the several gaol., and of the heal•lt of the same. The Keepers also delivered in their quarterly returns pursuant to Act of Parliament. The Recorder and Common Sergeant were heard upon the case argued before the Caen on the 21st March last, relative to the custom of London respecting freemen's widows, and a certificate was ordered to be prep.ded slid laid before the next Court for ap proval. The thanks of the Court were unanimously voted to the Rev. Mr. Dillon, Chaplain to the Lord Mayor, for his sermon preached at St. Paul's on the first Sunday in Laster Term, before his Lordship, the Judges, dm. and he was requested to print the same and send a copy to evety Member. The Chamberlain reported the state of the Orphans' Fund for the I rat quarter; upon which theCnurt directed 14,11001.. part of the outstanding deb., to be uaid off; and the Chamberlain was in. ,treated to give notice to the parties Interested to receive the same acconling:y. The First Courts of Conservancy fur the counties of Essex and Kent were appointed to be held on the lath, and fur Sutrey and Middlesex on the Pith June next. The Court appointed the election of Rulers of the Cnmpany of Watermen and Lightermen to take place at their first meeting in June, and also the Election of Beadles of the Court of Requests. Precepts were nirectect to be issued to the several Livery Compa- Ides, for a Common Dail on Midsummer Day, for the Election of Sheriffs, Chamberlain, Bridge-muters, And other Officers annually elected on that day. Seine routibe bailing was afttrwards arranged, and the Court adjulacd. AFRICAN EXPEDITION. By letters from Captain Willis, of the Brazen, transmitting his correspondence with Captains Clipperton, Houston, &c., it appears that. on the sth December, Clipperton writes to say, that through the intercession of the King of Badagry he had obtalad permis. snot from the King of Iflo to pass through his dominions, and that a proper escort of horses and guides were waiting Ilia arrival ; that he was to proceed the following morning, first crossing a lake near I'apoe. He states that Ilio is the Yariba of the Arabs. On the 15th he writes from .lennah, a town in the kingdom of Yaribs, describing the difficult and fatiguing journey they had made, chiefly through thick woods, but that the country after wards became exceedingly beautiful, the people kind, well dressed in cap, shirt, and (roamers, and in possession of numerous horses. He states that, from Jennah to Katona*, tite capital of Variba, is about thirty days' journey, and from thence only three days to the Niger Kowsra ; he adds, that Captain Pearce, Dr. 3lnrrison, and their white servants, had suffered much from fever, but were getting better. On the' 4th Mr. Houston writes from Jernsh, to say that, in consequence of Dr. Morrison's xecc;e indisposition, and after hay ing advanced from Jennah about twenty mile+, he was under the necessity of being sent back to the coast, Ira that the others were recovering. In a few days after their return from Jennah, Dr. Morrison and his servant both died. On the 10th January 31r. Houston writes to his agent from Chiudo, saying, that lie found, on his return from Jennah to lin gua, that Captain Clapperton had been ill with fever, and his servant Richard the same, but that both were convalescent, and proceeding to their destination ; end concludes by saying, "there is no fear for Clapperton'a health now ; in a short time he will have accomplished what has been the object of other nations—that of travelling from west to east of the great African Continent. Dur ing the lust five days, we have been crossing the mountains of Kong, which, through the whole of that distance, are the most ro mantic and beautiful that can be imagined. Weitre now, I sup pose, 2.n00 feet above the level of thrsea, in a fine atmosphere, the thermometer 89 to 99 deg. (we have had it 03 deg.), and in lat. 8 deg. 23 min. 110 sec., and half-way to Katunga, at which place, as we now travel so much faster, we hope to arrive in twelve days. I shall see Clapperton across the fig:-, and return with all haste. He is again quite well, and as hardy es a Fellatuh." By a letter front Clipperton to Captain Wil!is, dated Engua, 28th December, he says, " It is my misfortune that I have nothing to communicate but the worst of news. Poor Pearce died yester. day, and I buried him to-day all respectably as 1 could, all the people of the town paying the greatest attention while I read the funeral service over his remains." It has alrtauly been mentioned that Dr. Dickson set out from the coast for Dahomey, accompanied by M. de Souza and Mr. James. The latter had returned to the coast. From him it appears that they reached Dahomey on the 16th December, where the.. were re ceived by the King and his Caboceers with the greatest respect. Mr. Dickson bud a fever, but on the 26th he was sufficiently reco vered to attend an audience, when it was settled that be should have a safe conduct through his dominions and those of his allies, to a place called Sher, said to be seventeen days' journey from Da. homey, in a northerly direction. He left Dahomey on the 31a, accompanied by b 0 armed men and 100 bearers. The King ap pointed a relation of his own as a guide and ambassador to accom pany him on his journey, a man who knew the country well, and who had travelled to Yariba. The direction from Shat to - Youry is a little to the eastward of north. ELECTION INTELLIGENCE. If Lord Brabason persist in standing for the county of Dublin, a very arduous contest will be the consequence, and the thief sirup 'Lie it is supposed will be with Colonel it. White. Mr. James Daly is certain of his room for the county of Gal way; the contest will be between Mr. Martin and Lambert, of Cregclare, the new candidate, who is promised all the influence of the Marquis of Clanricarde. The resignation of Mr. St. George, of Tyrone, is much regretted. Mr. Burke, the candidate for the town, is opposed to the Corporation.—Cork Consalution. CITY OF LIMERICY.—There is some foolish candidate for the city of Limerick against the pretensions of Mr. Seeing Rice. A Gentleman of the name of Dixon, an attorney, offers himself on independent principles—that is to say, on principles independent both of the Corporation and the Liberals.—Dublin Evening Post. Mr. Sergeant Firth says, in his address to the Freemen of Nor wich, on occasion of the approachi^g election, which place, it seems, he intends putting up for—" I have not yet forgotten, that even within the compass of your city, numbers of innocent victims to Roman Catholic unrelenting vengeance and persecution, both men and women, have been publicly burned alive at the stake, for professing even die same religion which you now profess; sod they would do the same thing crabs if you give them but ale power; and I mould sooner die tnan he consenting to any con cessions to the Roman Catholics, to endanger the present pence and security we enjoy under our glorious Church Establishment." It is confidently stated that Sir Hugh lone% of Lochalsh, Bart., will be re-elected for the district of Burgle which be represents at present.—lncerurrs Courier. Kin lALDY.—Lieut.-General Sir Ronald C. Fergusson having announced his Intention of again otferirg himself a candidate for the representation of this district of Burghs at rest election, the Magistrates and Council met on Tuesday, and unanimously agreed to suppor t him.. . . _ 'ftiisday last. in consequence of a requisition from some electors of Abingdon, Thomas Duffield, Esq., of Merchant Park, de clared himself a candidate for the representation of that Borough in Parliament. and immediately commenred his canvass.
