This was an action to recover the amount of a bill of exchange accepted by the defendant. It was tried at the late sittings, before the Land Chief' Justire, at fluildhall. The plaintiff is tt bill. broker, and it appeared from the evidence on the trim!, that the bill came into his possession in the regular tonne of business. During his absence front loi., counting-house, it was presented to be discounted by eonterrson whom the clerk believed he had seen there before on a minder errand. He therefore desired the person to leave the bill. and call again in two hours, during which time lie made satisfactor► inquiry as to the respectability of the names indorsed upon it. Wh, a the person Came again according to ap. pnlntment, the clerk discounted the bill without hesitation. The defence was, that the plaintiff lied not used due catalog in making inquiry as to the mode in which the bill had found its way into the hands of the ',nom for whom he had discounted it. It appeared by the defendant's evidence, that the bill heel been in. closed in a parcel, anti sent from Birmingham to London, but stolen on the road before it arrived at its destination. It was con tended, therefore, that the plaintiff could have no property in a bill obtained through curb means by the person far whom he hail discounted It, and that he ought to have taken more care in ascer taining who that unknown person was. 'flee Jury, under the direction of the Lord Chief Justice, found a verdict for the de fendant. 3fr. flu RNEY this day moved for a rule to sheer cause why the verdict should not he set aside, and a new trial had. The Learned Counsel argued that the real question to be determined wu not whether the plaintiff' had or had not used due eaution in ascertain ing who the person wet that presented the bill for discounting, but whether he had or had not given value for it bona fide. There could he no doubt that he had given value bona fide, and he was therefore entitled to recover against the defendant. The Court, after consulting a few minutes, granted the rule. CURTIS V. WILLIS. This was an action tried at the late sittings at Guildhall, beftwe the lord Chief Justice, in which a point had been reserved ftw the opinion of the Court. The point was, whether a posers named ! Crttehley had committed an act of bankruptcy, by avoiding a; credits, under the follow' circumstances s—lt inquired in ad dame as the ilia!, that CfM. ley resided in Worwielohire, and had I no house of busine■s in Logsdon, but that when in morn he called at a friend's , warehouse in Friday-street, where he 'medians. wrote letter,. One day when he was there, a creditor of his mimed Johnson, happened to call at the warehouse, and Critehley, in order to avoid meeting with bins, went into the cellar, and re. maimed there a quarter of an hour, until ho was told that Johnsen had left the premises. The ArroittrEw-Getrtaat. now contended that this conduct of (Atchley was nog an act of bankruptcy. lie admitted, that where a debt., absented himself from ilia dwelling-house, or the usual place where be carried on business, or concealed himself there, or failed to keep an appointment, because he was afraid of meeting a creditor, or pc out of the way to avoid a sheriff's officer, an act of bankruptcy was committal. lie had looked into all the cases re lating to this point, and he could find no instance in which it had been held that the these act of going from one room to another M a friend's house, in order to avoid meeting with a creditor not come for_ payment, amounted to as art of bankruptcy. Mr. Justice Bar hur —I think, Mr. Attorney, that that very act has been declared an act of bankruptcy by this Court, is a ease from Plymouth. • The Arvowerw-Onxittsh said, he knew the case to which his hardship alluded, but its that instance the bankrupt crossed the street in ogle to avoid a shad 's officer, and not a auditor. 3I r. J 'Mite BAT LLY, laving referred to the ease, asserted to the A tterney-tieneral's statement lint. his Lordship added, there is the case Bailey r. Copeland, Ist Mule and Selwyn, 313, which is (mire decisive as to eis point. In that case, a person went inw a friend's house in order to avoid a sheriff's officer, and cemained there all night, through for, as be stated, of• meeting a sheriff'', officer or some of his creditors. The Court held that he had committed two sets of bankruptcy ; list, In going into his friend's house to avoid the sheriff 's officer, sad secondly, in staying there through fear of meeting his creditors. The :IT•runwur-Gewrttt. said, that after that decision, he would not waste the thus of the Court by pressing the argument any further. GREETTWI V. WIIITEIIILAD. This was an action to recover • sum of money Intrusted to the defendant,* conveyancer in Dayle-street, Burlington-gardens, to be laid out in the purchase of annuities, and which the plcintiff had lost in consequence of the negligence of the defendant, in not ingking sufficient inquiry as to the pecuniary circumstances of Dr. Locke, to whom the money was paid. The ease was tried at the late sittings at Westminster, before the Lard ChiefJustioe. It ap peared in evidence, that in lOW, the defendant laid mat the money in purchase of an . annuity to be paid out of the tithes of the parish of in Norfolk, of which lit. Locke was then the inrum bent. On the trial it was stated. that when this bargain was con ' eluded, the judgment debts of Dr. Locke amounted to 39,0001., and that there were annuities already payable out of the tithes of Hillgity to the amount of 1,289/. It also appeared that Dv. Locke was generally considered at Farnham, of Which he was curate, to be a man greatly embarramed in his affairs. The detente was, that the plaintiff' had not intrusted the de fendant with the investment of the money, but had employed his own solicitor to magage ilte nueteeimiem, and that he would have been duly paid bv Dr barks, if that gentleman, in consequettee of simony, had not been deprived of his living of Hillgay. The de. fence was discredited by the Jury, who found for the plaintiff— Damages Meet les. The A TTORWTY-0/711P:11Ai. this day moved for • rule to shew cause why the verdict should not be set ride, and a new trial had. He founded his motion on some affidavits, from which It appeared. that since the trial, the defendant had, by applying to the attorneys of Dr. Locke's acelitors,ascertained that previous to the purchase of the plaintiff's annuity, Judgments had been satisfied to the amount of 33,000/., although no satiafactiott had been entered on the roll. and that the annuities had been reduced to 7811. The Learned Counsel submitted, that, if he had been able to prove these facts, the verdict would have been for the defendant. The defence would have appeared ninth stronger to the jury, If they had found that the judgment debts of Dr. Locke did not exceed 3,0001. which was the amount, judgment being always entered up for double the sum actually due, and that the annuities did not amount to Mel., while Dr. Locke had • considerable income arising from his living. and front extensive landed property then belonging to him. There was another fact on which the motion was grounded. The defendant had subpamaed Dr. locke's solicitor, .11r. Wilmot Parker, to prove the amount of his client's property ; but the evening before the trial, the defendant received notice front Mr. Parker's son, that that gentleman had died suddenly, and the defendant was therefore de prived of the benefit of his testimony, The LORD CHIEF JUST act—Of what use could any informa tion be to you that he could give you, when, in addition to the evi dence produced by the plaintiff as to the amount of judgments and annuities against lit. Locke, it was proved that writ after writ had before been issued against I anti that he was in his own imme diate neighbourhood co ns idere 'd to he in embarrassed circum stances ? It deo appeared that there was a considerable encum brance on dr living of nill o y. . . . . . The A•rrounEvAiENERAL was desirous to explain the cir-1 commences conflicted with that living. Dr. Locke, previously to 1818, had entered into a secret contract with Dr. Craddock, to va cate the living in his favour; but in consequence of 1/r. Craddock's inability to perform his part of the contract, Dr. Locke resumed possession in 1817, and was actually enjoying it when the annuity was granted to the plaintiff: ;Sometime after, Dr. Locke wished to vacate in favour of Dr. Lens, but the Bishop of Norwich suspect ing the existence of a sinionimal contract between the parties, re fused to induct Dr. Lei_ and obtained a writ of quure impcilit, and also deprived Dr. Locke of the living on which the annuity was secured. The Loki/ CHIEF JUSTICE—it appeared on the trial, that that living was mortgaged fur a considerable sum, u circumstance which the defendant might have learned, if lie had made sufficient I inquiry. It is charitable to suppose that he had nut made inquiry, for if he ha-I, he must hare Mond that in 11117 Itr. Cridtiocic was in r010:0Mi011 of the living of Billgay, and that l/r. Locke resumed possession in the course of that year ; and knowing these facts, it would perhaps be too haul to say that he would have suffered Ins client to lend Ids tourney upon such a security. 3lr. Attorney, it is clear that you krow now no inure than with due diligence you might have known before the trial. The A TTOIIIII VMENEII AL—We expected, my Lord, to prove by Mr. l'arker's etidascs, what was the amount of Dr. Locks'a debts in 11118. .... The burn Cum?. JIATICE—Does your affidavit state that Mr. Parker could prove that Dr. Locke was in gotxl ciecitnistatuxe, or only that he could prove what were his circumstances? The A vetiascr.OkitEtt.ti.--Only the last point. The Lorin tut J oar lc E —Then in all probability it would have ellilleilleil with the evidence already given. lteeti.lex, If the defendant had done his duty towards the plaintiff; he would have discovered in 11111: what be seine only very re. ratty to have learn ed, namely, that although the judgments were on the roll, the greater part of them has been tumefied. Mr. Justice BATLEY —Is Mr. Parka's name in the brief of witnesses ? The ASTOUND:T-OEIM lIAL—VCI, my lord. Mr. Justice HAY LET—IVIIat is it stated he was able to prove ? The AvroarrrY-GEXERAI.—Tiot the living of Hifigay was In 11118 in the possession of Dr. Locke, and that lie subseiptently lost it in consequerce of a proceeding under a writ of quart inspedit. The bolo) (limy JITIBTfct —That Is a very different thing from proving the general state of lk. I,ocke's attain. As Mr. Firker is dyad, he onset be a bold man who will now cane before tie Court and swear that Mr. Parker could have given evidence of the general state of Ile. Locke's affairs. indeed from your own statement It appear not to have been intended to call Mr. Parker to prove any such thing. The ATT OWN EY-tlimmtat.—The ground on which we rely in stippert of this motion is, that it the Jury had hail an opportunity of weighing all the circumstances which 1 have this day stated, they would have come to a very different conclusion. The Loan ('rater JUST IC E—lt is your climes fault that they hail not that opportunity, and he Is not to tak: the benefit of his own uegligence. - - - • SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE. CUSTOMHOUSE, Maw 11.

ELLIS. I This wart an application to Ole Court for the revocation of a pro bate of a will which had been granted to the defendant last term, on the ground that the testator was not in a perfect state of mind at the time of executing the same; also that the Court would allow pro bate of a former will, and costs of the present application. The parties in this suit are brothers, and the testator, who was also of the same name, is their uncle, and bad, by will, executed about a year r r and a half before his decease, bequeathed bis pro riy, amounting to upwards of :Al,OllOl. equally among his six ne ews. Thls will, ' however was revoked by one made a few day* tefore his demise, in which he bequeaths the great bulk of his property to Mr. John Ellis, who is we defendant in this suit, and from whose affidavit it appears that he is himself a solicitor, and that the latter will was drawn up by himself. In opposition foible' latter will It is contended, that at the time of Its execution the testator was In too infirm a state of mind to he able to comprehend its contents ; that he was unable, from weakness, to sign his name to it 4 Wril that in consequence it was found neces sary to guide his hand; that the contents of this will were in oppo sition to his repeatedly declared intentions, and that the whole transaction was of a clandestine character. ....... Judgment was deferred till Thursday next. WILLINSON, LATE LAWES v. unarm's. This was an application on the pan of Mrs. Wakeman, late Miss Imitea, he letters of administration of .she property of her deceased Sian, Elisabeth Lawes, who she alleges died intestate, and a spinster. The allegations set forth, that Thomas Gordon, to whom the deceased was inserted in September 1818, was previously married aHarriet Cole, and that the said Ilarriet Cole being alive at the period of the second marriage, it became no legal marriage. It joss on to state that Thomas (Jordon had offered bribes to different potties who were anputinted with the flintier marriage, to bind them to secrecy, and that a true bill had been found at the Easter gessions, 18118, at the Old Bailey, agnint Thomas (Jordon, for bigamy, who was thereon tried and convicted, sad sentenced to seven years transportation. In reply to these allegations it is averred, that the int wife, Harriet C ole, tuned out a most prolligete woman, dementd her husband, and was some time atter admitted into St. Thomas's Hospital, under the name of Mary White, where she died on the Bth of July. 1818. That prior to the indictment being preferred against him for bigamy, placards had been Issued offering a reward fur evidence of the existence of tho brat sme, at the time of .he wood marriage, and that subsequent to his convictim, a me. atonal bad been transmitted to his Majesty, who had thereon graciously granted him his free pardon. It is further averred that the property of his second wife had been bequeathed to him by will. An exception was also put in to the evidence of Emma Baker, who on the trial swore positively to having seen the first wile after the second marriage, on lewd a vessel off Plymouth, at which time she was pestling by the name of Lady Rodney among the seamen on board. 'the exception is grounded on an affidavit, which mated that the female alluded to had been since confronted with Emma Baker, who then acknowledged herself to be mistaken, and that the real name of the female who had acquired the appella tion of Lady Rodney 'was Charlotte Lindsell. Counsel were heard at length on both sides, and judgment dc. fisted till next Thursday. POLICE. „ QUEEN-SQUARE. I vaults llf ORA TlTllllE.—Nathan Shenk was yeStefday charged before D. %V.

IMPROVED SYSTEM TO FORM THE RALLYING SQUARE. INSTRUCTION OF Tur. CO]IT.INT• The following original directions for forming the Rally ing Squire (a most important movement) are commanded to be observed, in Part 2, via.:— •OF TIM COMPANY. I. The inspector of the Drill having caused the recruits to fall out and disperse to a certain distance, will give the won', Form the liallying Square, at the same time placing himself facing the supposed enemy the recruits hasten to the person so posted, being bayonets and shouldering their arms as they reach hint. The two ' that who join hint firm on his right and left, facing outwards, (I )-- The three next place themselves in front of those posted (2), and three others to the rear, faring to the rear, thus forming a square of three (3). The instructor will cause the next four men to take post at the several angles, which will form a square of tire. If the front rank of either of the faces of the square should be in complete, the instructor will till the vacancies from the rear rank. 2. A square thus composed of twenty-four men (besides the per ' son who is to rally) and funned two deep. may be atihnuented to a square of seven, three deep, by four men taking post at the angles, and others cut • g up to comelete the lases as before; the square I will then consist of forty-eight Inert, and may be augmented in the same meaner to a square of nine, four deep by the angles being occupied by four mote men, and the faces tilled up as before; and the square will then be composed of eighty men. 3.

In this m,u:ncr small dispersed punier, from eight to eighty men, may be binned to resist an attack of cavalry in an open country, where, either from fatigue or other causes, soldiers may be sera rated from the eel of march. The formation must be Ire quently practised in squad and company drill, so that soldiers thoroughly instructed, may always be enabled to protect themselves upon an emergency. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

Can sox, Flaw plod. MACIIINPRT. Mr. Howie, an ingenious mechanician of Hudson, on Friday exhibited, at the Tontine Coffee House, a model of machinery, by which he is confident vessels of any size may be propelitil at sea, independent of wind or steam—the inn lion of the yawl being alone required to give it effect. The machinery, is simple, and would take up but an incon. sidcrable space in a vessel ; in fact, the inventor says, three or four feet in length, and the breadth of the vessel would be amply sufficient for its operation. A rotatory motion if , produced by a vibrating weight in the hold of the vess e l without the aid of a crank—an iron shaft connects the ho rizontal wheel in the hold (propelled by the pendulum) with another on dick, which latter causes the shaft, ors which are the paddles, _to turn--end thus is the machine. put in operation. A portion of a cargo—such articles as are heavy—might be placed as weight in the pendulum, to the amount of some tons; and thus may this machinery be used without diminution of the quantity of cargo that would be conveyed in a vessel dependent on sails and wind fur propulsion. Although this machinery might not entirely effect the objects of the inventor, and supersede the use of sails, we think it might with advantage form a part of the equie ment of merchant vi studs. It would, we are of opinion, be found useful in the calms which succeed the most boister ous weather—when, though not a breath of air might move the sails, the rolling of the tea, which continu es strong for some days after the abatement of the storm, would give sufficient power to the machinery to propel the vessel, and so relieve the weary mariner in some degree from one of the most disagreeable and disheartening situa tions in which he can be placed—exposed to the mercy of the waves, being unable to moves knot in his voyage. Some sea-faring men, who viewed Mr. Iloxie's invention, inti mated their opinion that by its use all vessels would be safe even with a lee shore; for the greater the swell, the miller would the vessel recede from the land. This alone is an object that would warrant an experiment by some of our wealthy merchants or ship-builders of the utility of Mr. /fettle's machinery, the gain by which, in two or three of the days it might be used, would, we think, fully remune rate the expense attending its construction.
