Certainly an pains had horn spared on that gentlenuti's pert in obtaining the bee' advice AS to the conduct of his suit.

It had been objected that the trial by jure was not a safe tribunal for such a case as thin; but he (Alr. coold are no just grounds for the objection.

Mr. Nrimstead mid he did nut look at the book, and was Ignorant sit its cuntenta. He admitted that he was tint deceived by at, but added, that he trusted altogether to Mr. I Wass, who trade! the entries, it was now said, with intent to deceive him I and it was therefore argued that no usurious contract could have existed, be ca use, it it had, Ile. deception on the part of Mr. I ;dohs wax wholly winrcomary.

The latter wee manifestly a question depending entirely oh the credit due to the patties. As 3lesers. Howard arid GOA% must have been cognisant of the elude transaction, there could he no ex use framed, if it turned out that there was any in. consistency or ituperfection of atatement on their parts I and as to Mr. irimatead, though he mil& he a negligent man in some re. specie, yet it was to be presumed he was competent to the ordinary bealneve of life. He admitted that he had the book in his pcKses. eon at every time of settlement, anti that it wax sometimes in his Mimi% for two. or three months together. Ile also stated, that his attention sae not drawn to the items of the accounts at any time while the !pek an% in hie posacmion, mid that if it had been he would not here uuderstmel them. The mu stinn wax, whether, when he saw the item. of produce, he understuod than as meaning interest on 'enmities, or whether he untleretoud them as a term &Menotti; home, to cover the usury ; and here he (.)Ir. Wilde) must say. that if, into, ad of meeting the claims of Mr. litanies:od in this term, he had a iri iii i t ill charge to prove against him, he shouki euntend that the facts would justify him in arguing that he had brought the knits ledge of site items hoarse to Mr. (leant stead. ilow Many instance. were there of men convicted of dk moat serious charges Oil evidence far slighter? 111 r. (him stead admitted that i.e had faded the accounts with his own hand at the foot of the page, and &hewed the book afterwards to Me. Walsh. Could anything more fully prove that he knew the items of that account P It had been objected that the of the moans of knowledge was not nuitionount to actu knowledge. In the first elate he would remark, that the existence of this trick was the reason foe Alr.lirimete•ati's keeping no other, if his Lord ship were to administer justice on the principle that a person having every opportunity of knowing the contents ut any docu ment, might absolve himself fmni the consainences of poe ms-sing that knowledge, on hie own denial that he did nut possess it, the most fauful efforts moat ensue t it was impossible to see hole I.nowltol!re mold, under any circuntranct e, be brought home to Roe person who might chine to deny it.

Them was maw dissinceiss be tween the circumstances of that ease and the present; but tie principle in imth was the mite. Here it was to be prommed that Mr. Illiiinstead had, to speak the ettim language of tiie law. tratidulentheand with a covert meths, &storm to look at the book, in order that he might be able to plead ignorance of its cemente. %tumid any question arise upon them afreeting his rights. Why "timid he what in nerd a knowledge of the item ? Ile could have only had one motive via, that he might not be suiremeal tel know the usury with which)his account was tainted.

The learned Counsel then pro.. eroded to animaihreet all the examination of Mr. (irimetead, which I e amid ought rather to have been called a blamer of his case written by his (Munsel ; foe not only had that learn ed Gentleman put Lwlteg eneatinna to the witness, but he had in sonic instance% saineetrel facts not at all warranted by any precious answer. deed 111 r. lirimstaill 'innate% to have been led limiter than he mould hair gone if he had been lett to follow hie own epontaneous retiree. The rumination was an artfully writes history, edited by the I swyer, and adopted by the witness. In his address to the Court a I eel days ago, his learned friend (Mr. It. Montague) remarked that thorn lifer! MI few contradictions in Mr. (irimstours case. that they c valuable Mr their scarcity. Ile (Mr. W. denied this shah:- merit. He %aid that eery material fart in the case was contradietal, and if h!, Leitrim' Prima could point mit one that was tint contra he wail.' give up his case immediately. Whether the ex. aminetion of .11r. lirinistemi was considered with reference to the i!:.•stiree, his knowledge re* the book, or him understandirg or the word *. praiece," it wax clear that hie mind was rut in that state in which his i videnc: (mild be made the foundeoem of a remedy to such as extent as he claimed. An affidavit had ham produced hems Mr. Caftan; but he (Mr. Wilik) wislird the 'waived,. hail hal OM. witness' In the bus. before a special jury of she city of London, where his respectability visa known, anti his v-rarim . wo Oil have been appreciated. Why wee he not produced ea tit..trill. inetead of his solitary affidavit being bought forward after this lapse of time ? Mr. Oaths, in his a motet tion, 'aid only that the book used to be product' to Mr. lirimstead, by whom the account% were signed and settled; but whether he chose, while lonising at the book, to me nothing, was of :miter more than Mr. Hibbs could undertake to declare. The evidence clearly preyed that he had a strong motive fee examinicl; the bock, and • Mr. Grimaced did not attempt to slaw why he had not yielded to that motive. Mr. Gibbs went on to state why he used the word " produce," and afterwards why he erased it. NC said he never entered into any explanation of the ancient to Mr. (irisnetead. Ilia words were. "He never Naked it, and I never glace it." But he stated that Mr. Grinstead was in the habit of signing acquit. Lances when the annuities were redeemed ; and some instances in which he did so WOOltl prove very Material in the progress of the regiment. Mr. Gittbri stated funhcr, that his partner, Mr. i Howard, was not aware of any fraud that seas practised on 't Mr. (Winstead. end that he supposed the partners were considered debtors to 3lr. Grimstes4 for the sums in their possession, for ; which he was paid 10 per cent. interest ; and Mr. Gibbs added, ' that in Ida books he entered the interest co n , ,nthit. It was re ! markable that though the profit of the annuities much exceeded le per cent., allowing for the premium of insurance on the lives, and other expenses, so that the average varied from 12 to Id per cent., vet the produce allowed Mr. Grnosteed never exceeded II ' per tent., and in some Instances was rot more than 111 per cent. It was a fallecy to try this cause On Mr. firimetead's qunlificationa as a man at' beano& A safer role would be to judge it by re ference to Air. Gibbs's character as a man of business. ilia Man tis/ST to deceive, if it really existed, might be ascertained by that test; but the cnxtulity wenitnesa, or negligence, of Mr. ei nmotead admitted of no criterion according to any ordinary mode of judgment. There was however, no doubt that Mr. Gibbe was an able, acute, and experienced man, versed in the knowledge of the law, and dexterou s in lila habi tsl of business. Before Mr. (Inmeteed could establish his rte, he must :thew that Mr. Gibbs OAP the reveree of whet every body took him to be, fur If his design was to deceive Mr. firinistewl, never before did an able and acute man, engaged in the ecommiesi,.n of a fraud, Hike so much pains to triennia. his plot. fin the face of the book, what was the conduct of Mr. flii.be as to this accoont? Ile Anted, indeed, now, that tic in tended to deceive ; but judging by his actions at the time, what was the re:instal inference t., he &PPM from his confect ? As soon ns lie received any money from /de Inimstend, lee entered it. erne, hr paid any he incik care to specify to whom and fie what., lie enrretly struck the balance, and, as a faithful cunt, allowed mein on the sum hi hand. Ile furnished the means of eheck ing every item. From the first to the brat, not a fractional loss of interne at to per cent. could he traced for a single day. Ile eon enure I his book in the mom Pimple and intelligible form. There wait no *menial of dates, names, or same; and vet in the teeth of this irresistible testimony of his fidelity, he was to be considered a dishonest man, aiming only at defrauding . his principal ! The Learned Comm' then entered net the examination of the items of prieluce, with a view to prove that it was a word used only to con ceal the mutely.* contract between the parties. Every annuity, It was to be on-reed, uffiteded a profit exceeding 12 per cent. in order to cover the profit to the grantor, the premium of insurance on the grantee, and the charge attempt and other expenses, which, i t the cast. of what had bete called by the other side real transac tions, were always charged regularly to Mr. (kimono! ; but where them was no veal transactions, these charges were emitted. In t he ran of an annuity pan oft' by load James Hurray, on the 20th of April produce was &newest for the two days up to the lilt of Bay. kl'ily, if any fraudulent design had existed on the part of Me. liens, was reface allowed so carefully for the two days, in. stead of the annuity being prolonged? In every real transaction, the :unmet of the annuity was regularly credited. It was evident , by this instance, that lily. Giblethati most faithfelly discharged his tear. nut suppose it appeared that lie. (irimstead himself had signed an acquittance for the annuity (which was the fact), how could the knowledge of the Account be brought home to him more clearly teen by thia document, in which he was compelled to admit his knowledge 1 lie must have known that the produce items tare plated to his credit, not as part of the annuity, which he had ran/allot, hut as inherit on the principal emu in the hands of Howard and Gibbs. The produce itcnts all through the account were calculated, not with reference to any annuity, but to the date of the settlement—a course very proper as tointerest, hut highly ab surd rot to annuities. Hut his knowledge in this instance could be brought even timer home. The insurance on Lord James Mur ray's life did not expire till July. The policy was bought by the etar-office s he arraigned it, and credit was given to hint in the ac count for the return of the premium. If lie believed his money had been re.inirested, how came he to alaign his policy P If it was nuinvtoted, he had the same intenet as before, in lord James Marray's life. Besides. he received his ten per cent. on the die. ference between the stuns. Who could he suppose made bin this allowance but the bankrupts ? Could his Lordship believe that Mr. Gene, who had kept his accounts PO correctly, had done so with a design to deceive ? There was another instance when Mr. linoleum' was present, when the money was received in redemp. tern of an annuity. It remained for general purposes. Produce was allowed for :le dart. It was then reduced by the purchase of an annuity, and produce was still allowed on the remainder. Fi nally. there remained up to the settlement of that account, a sum of :Apt. not invested, and on that rum, as on the others, produce was allowed. It was clearly stared to weont the former sums were invested, but the hater remained unexplained. In fact, it was in the hank of the bankrupts, from whom only Mr. lifinatesd must have.known he received the produce. He (Mr. W.) might go through all the items in the same way, if he was not afraid of el hauenng the attention of the Court. They were all of the same sort. He defied the Counsel on the other side to select one of a different complexion. The ;Gitlin I 'IIAWCET.T.nII-11'hat become of the 5071. ? Ale.

'Vet it appeared that !abed called and asked wee.' thew a particular stint had been curried to his credit P The de in', as his Inquiry, turned to the folio in the ledger and satisfied hen.

Indeed, no part of his conduct argued negligent... There was no fact to build such an opinion but his owu declaration, by which it seemed that he was as anxious to provide the means of examination as he was neg.' ligent in using them. In every case of real annuity, Mr. Gibbs charged fir stamps, but there was none on the produce Items. Mr. Grimmest! said 0,1 his elimination that Mr. Gibbs had no autho rity to re-invest t h e annulate, redeemed, though this stateneut. like ever other be made, was, in another part of his examination, eon. tradietion.

MrSTERIOIIS DICAPPEARMICC.—Yesterday a young man named Grow Plarwroier was brought before the Loan Matron, charged by his father, a respectable old man, with having Com mitted a breach of the peace. The father, who hes been for many years established as a stay. maker, in Princes-street, Minories, stated, that for more than two years loot his son had been in the habit of committing the most serif/WI breaches of the peace. The son, when asked by the Loin Marna what he had to say in his defence, was at fast so witch agitated that he burst ism tears. He said it was extremely painful foe him to be placed at the bar under a charge preferred by his father; but it was another imputa tion of an awful nature, no lei.s than that of having murdered his brother, which had been east upon him by his family, and had for • long time made his mind unhappy. It was this which had an effort on his mind thal he could not prevent, and, when he drank, worked him up to commit those breaches of the peace which he now lamented. His brother, who was no more, and whom he was charged with having in wane way or other destroyed, would now, if be were alive, be abnnt 117 years of age. The thought of that accusation was quite intolerable. The Lonn Masoa questioned the father upon this extraordi nary statement. The father said that he had never made such a charge against the unhappy young man at the bar, and never would have breathed the subject had it not been thus publicly alluded to. The truth was, that he had had another son named Robert, who some years since was set tip in business at eit.,,,ilban'a, where he succeeded in establishing himself as • stay-maker. Hut he made an unfortunate marriage, and separated from his wi(e. It was now seven years since he had suddenly disappeared from his family, who had never since received the slightest information as to what had become of him. A reward was offered for any information reverting him. hut tlit only intelligence they could. receive was merely conjectural, land describd hint as having leen seen at Redfern, in Hertford shire, on the day after he wan missed from St. Alban's, getting into a post-chaise, arxompluded by a rtrenge The Lon, Mat - ox here desired to know whether Mr. Plummer had accused his non at the bar with being instrumental to the dis appearance of Robert. 111 r. Plummer said he had never dreamt of making such an ac cusation ; but, George himself had spoken of his absent brother sit • murdered MO, and had, by what he stated to his mother and and his youngest brother, imputed to hint:A.lf • knowledge of the fate of yoliert.... . . . . . . . 11IC Loru .lame then immediately desired that the mother, who stood next to her hushand 4lniwned in tears, should state what had occurred between her and her son icorge upon tke subject of Robert's disappeamcre. Alra. Plummer said, that the prisoner told her, shoot a month after Robert tea that he was either dead or soon would he drad, and that she nit be convinced a the truth of it. The dreadful f cat furs oeaion by this comr.itiniestion were not alleviated by an il,:11111111CC made soon alit-muds by George, that Robert was 'dead ; an assurance seeointried by the words, " I know where he is --. I know where he Bea, Frequently since that period George had alluded to the dreidful subject, bat never had he bean accused of being a party to the disappearance of his brother. There war a younger brother now at tit. Albaa's, who had mentioned that George had told him that Robert was dead t that he (Geot, knew of his death, but would Mt swlich (tell tan). Roth f athe r and mother had, until this 'detonate, been io doubt whether their child had gone abroad or bean destroyed. The prisoner here said he area sorry to be obliged to contradict his parents, for whom he had the utmost respect. He never had made. any assertions to the elect stated, and declared that he was only provoked, when in a state of intatleation, to allude to the as persions which had liceo made upon hint with regard to the death of his brother. Mr. Plummer admitted that the prisoners general conduct was proper, hut his frequent and terrifying allusions to the calamity were such, as, with the COWllift of other painful circumstances, al ' most drove him (the father) to the commission of suicide. The prisoner here ezpressed the satisfaction he felt at the publi city given to the circumstances of the case, as all imputations 'against hitrfse.lf would he speedily terminated by it. The boast MAYOR said that a great advantage would certainly i arise from the pi:Airily gives to the case ; as, if Robert Plummer were dead, the inquiry which must necessarily take place wherever the facts and auspicious were nientletied, would most of ktuilly tend to bring to light any existing evidence; and if he were alive, would furnish the hest means of making him acquainted with the of condition of his family.

She was deputed by a !Tye:table young lady (whose name we, from feelings of delicacy, forbear to mention), who is carrying ea the millinery business near Regent-street, and who directed her to state, that a fcw evenings since her house was entered by burglars, or, as from their conduct she could not judge, persons who Mille for another purpose. The family had retired to bed at the usual hour, and were very much alarmed by sue persons breaking into the house, and searching it, they said, faa a person who had dis charged fire-amis at them from the roof. Mr. RAW LI X3O N begged the lady to be more minute in her de tail. The lady said it was about the middle of the night when the at. tack wee commenced, and the persons entered by fiwcing open the door, which was carefully closed and watched by them ; they then proceeded all over the house, searching, as they said, for the man who attempted to rmatsinate same one of them. They were re peatedly assured, diet if any person had fired he could not belong to the establishment of that house, and were requested by the young lady to withdraw; but they refused, and after searching the roof, they had some conversation And went away. Here the lady pauvxi. Mr. RAs• Ltxsow—DQ, pray, proceed ; be more explicit. The Lady— 'Vier having acted very improperly— Mr. I t I.lNsow—litalty, Madam, so it would appear, and might say criminally ; but upon a detail of this kind it is requisite every part of the particulars should be known. The Lady-1 have nut concealed any of the leading farts, I do assure you. _ _ Mr. Rim Ltwsns—Pray, Madam, how did they forte an en. trance into the bowie without giving any alarm The Lady—They go open the grating in the street, and then forced opm the kitchen dour. After having opened the grating, they by means of a ladder tint into the area. Mr. RAWL I NSON—This is a very strange story. flow did they demean themselves towards the female part of the family ? The Lady (in • low voice)—Why, Sir, very improperly, Indeed. _ _ r. R AWLIWRON—Be so kind u to explain your meaning? The Lady—Why, very— indelienklii. They traversed every room in the house, and entered Mises apartment, and one of the party took the clothes from the bed. Fortunately, being alarmed, bhe was up. Mr. Itaws.t xsow—Did the breaking into the house alarm her, ' or the conduct of the pasty afterwards The Lady—l believe, Sir, she was slammed ; they knocked at her chamber door, and on saying the house was beset with thieves, whom they were pursuing, she admitted them, and one of them, indeed all, acted a very unmanly part in insulting her, but they used no violence. . . . Air. RAWLINSON-1 am happy to hear it. I was apprehensive they had ; but might they not bai si k:m some persons on the roof, and, perhaps without aily guilty don, have pursued this in temperate method of acting, iniag ing them to be thieves ? The I.ady—Thty certainly might have done so ; but I cannot speak its to their intentions. ltawritxsoN—Did you understand that • person on the roof fired at them, or they at him ? The Lady—Why 1 th.nk they were understood to say a person fired at them. .51r. RA W I s lYßOW—Latterly ninny robberies have barn commit. tad in that neighbourhood, and in sonic instances robbers having obtained the rout by means of uninhabited houses, got into other houses. The Lady—Yes. Stir t it has heed the am. They may have Seen somebody out the roof. All I wish is, that itmay be inquired into. Mr. RAW LTNSON—IIIIetI did this occur? The Lady—About a week since. Mr. N SOW —Why did you not inquire before ? The Lady explained that the was busily occupied all the week at one of the Ambassador's, and could not before make the appli cation. Mr. Ilawidatsox—What did the party who broke in takeaway with them ? The Lady—Nothing, Sir; hut departed quietly and quickly which makes the aiiior the more extraordinary and mysterious. Mr. IiAWI.III9ON—It Certainly is a curious business altogether; and u you wish the assistance of a police-officer, you shall hays it - - - The Lady expressed her thanks ; and maid all she wished was, that Mule discovery might be made of the party who had thus daringly, and in Ma dead of the night, entered a dwelling-house, and of their intentions. The outrage (she thought), was certainly o:te that carried more danger in it than appeared now on the face of it ; because, supposing a party had been tired at, they would, she thought, hive acted differently than by bursting into a house, a.td then examining ..111 the rooms, particularly selecting a lady's chamber. 3lagistrite Irving given some Instructions to the officers, the lee,' withdrew. arcomyaniwi by an officer, who had not made his report to the Alagssuate w:lca our reporter left the office ; but It was - hinted that the arair had more of the intention of a forcible abduction than of a burglary and robbery.
