To 711 t: ED177111 OF 'VHF 1111ITISII N lK .—The great scarcity of foreign intelligence, so much 1 :,,„:1,d. by all your e..ti mporaries, has at least one good , that it gives us more I• 'anti spar; to look about us and col attention to matters width, if they do much as information concerning the in ;, the French I %thin( t, or the machinations of the at it :ISt to collie 110111 e Wine to 0111 • brnutss nl bosons;-- the ailt n i ll istration of justice Hit' Own country. F;,-,r % cur knots that Mr. I:ourlay, a clever but not I man (author, be-the bye, of the best work i e•ola extant), insulted Mr. Brougham in the lobby 11,,Le.e of I 'ominous. The I louse of I'm:moos took lb, law into its own hands, and very properly put Mr. i.,, a day in durance for such a flagrant contempt of that ef the legialature. So far all was as it should be. h:•! followed is that on which I hay- to remark, and to fi w iinestions which I holy will not be tleetiosl impertinent; and as I consider Messrs. Gourley and Itrougliam sa bring Arcades strap.. ht." there can be no danger of my showing any partiality to Tr: j 111 or Ty rian. Altir the Parliament was prorogued, and Mr. Gourley, of curse, set at liberty, we find him taken up on the war rant of a Magistrate, accused of uudnesx, and this accusa tion supported by two doctors, who knew but little about Lan, against the evidence of several witnesses equally com ptent to decide on the subject, who knew him intimately ; and for the imputed crime of madness he is Sentelleed to imprisonment in the !louse of ( 'orrection, until he becomes sane, or can find bail to keep the peace. Now, I ask, first, with Sh . nb,,i, " Is this the law ?" and if it is answered, " Thyself shall ace the Act," I then say, if such an Act exists the sooner it is abrogated the better ; for no man is for one moment safe from imprisonment, since it will be hard to find any one whom some two doc tors or other will trot deem !nail, if the contrary testimony of intimate acquaintances is not received as exrulpatory evidence. If Mr. tlourlay was mad, was the !louse of 4 'ornetion, where his antipathies must be excited by the' continual View of his fellow-prisoners, a proper place to , wlia um to? i%tost nbsue..dly not. Ile ought to have b.,n sent to some well-regulated lunatic asylum, where icily tonna that kindness and skill could suggest would b• applied to restore him to his right 1114111, and where he could enjoy every Indulgence compatible with the well being of one in his unfortunate situation. My only wish, Sir, is to know whether the prerogative here ixercised by the magistrates is legally vestell in them ? li they arc empowered, in the due exercise of their magis until functions, to dispose of us in this way, it may be a n y turn nest, according to the feeling or fancy of whoever iirtv be President as grand conseil upon thew inquisitions or lunacy, and I should like, therefore, to learn how the stands; perhaps some of your readers can inform me. I am, Sir, yours, &c. A Loos sa-osr. TO TUE EDITOR OF TUE RUMS!! PRESS.

Its Friday the Intel Mayor held I 'clues of Conservancy at Strat ful and Greenwich, for the counties o f Essex and Kent, to receive the presentations of the respective Juries; after which his Irordi rhry entertained the Court with an elegant dinner, provided by Mr. of the Crown and Seeptre.

Whys his lonsilship held the tinnier (*nuns, on the I frth of June, Ls thr purpose of appointing and swearing in the Juries, in dell. her clisige, in the Malice of the Recorder, from indisposi mu by wh it is usually delivered, he took oecosive to ob sem, that the Conservancy of the River Thames, pad the eaten of 3lerlway. was 111=11114May Sewell in the City of London, end exercised by the Chief Magistrate. That our ancestors at 11l times attached Pi, much importance to this noble river, that they had ever been nuot careful to preserve its free navigation ; foe which purpose Juries were annually appointed to present all en croachments. To this river the opulence and splendour of the metropolis was owing, by which its commercial intercourse was ned on. It this was matter acorwequence in former times, what must it he when the immense amnesic Or WI capital, and its wealth and po pulation, were considered. The duties of the Joey were not to be riasidered merely nominal, hut became of hiliiiitely more come ismer, and they would, no doubt, under this consideration, fulfil doles properly. They wore to direct their attention to two treat objects, the preventing of all obstructions or impediments to the free navigation of the Thome', and the preservation of thei Fithery. They were likewise to observe, that the City of !rondo') had recently reauoved an obstruction in Yontlet Creek, by which en intercourse was restored from the Thames into the River Med iu, stitch it would also be their duty to preserve, as it not only nearer intercourse, but a safe and convenient shelter for lichine bows nod other restyle in tempestuous weather, by which tie Brea, as well us the property, of his Majesty's subjects were stir!: Preened. To all these circumstances h e fell confident they arida devote their best attentjon. Thr.hry of Kent, on Friday, made their ;presentment to bre 1.rw,1.14 • The rmes Jury made a pretentmant, which described that ■ :mace tet.•te the river lea was a nuisance, and opght to be pulled NI: and also, that the piles in some parts id the river were 4 1ervio, and ought to be instantly rettioved. lhe Loan 31 A vita stated, that the susgestions of the Grand Yfitl should be duly attended to. _ .

The LORD CHIEr Jr/TICE au occupied for a eunaidera'ole part of the day in hearing undefended 4,41111,1. THE As' 4 lllKLEal OF KAU AGA:::AT nuwsr. This was an action brought for the recovery of fit. Ifk. the amount of an Auctioneer's bill for appraising some tuntature, and putting op for sale an estate which was bnaght in. The defence was, that the auctioneer had not rehtilar authovil for offering the property for sale, and ought not to receive payment for his trouble ; that the est Ste was timely mentioned in his gene ral bill of panieulars to swell the appesratice, arid nut to furnish a source of profit. The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff for the sum of rd. lOs. the amount of his bin. BANY•1111 V. now. This Wag an action of trover by the assignees of Thomas Thur tell, a bankrupt, to recover the value of a horse alleged to have been convened by the defendant to his own use. 31r.litrawEY and Mr. STEENS conducted the plaintiff's case, and llr 31 and Mr. Con Tx the defendant's. The plaintiff was declared as assignee of the estate and effects of Thomas Thurtell, a person of some notoriety. It was stated Plat the hone in question had been purchased last summer by the bankrupt of a person named John Cooper, and left by hint in the care of the defendant. who is a livery stable keeper. Whilst the horse was in the defendant's cure, Coopso, the original owner, claimed it as his property, and took it away. It did not appear that the animal was taken away with the defendant's pnsity, upon which Mr. MAaIYAT illbliiitled th/t as there was no con version of the property by the defsndant, the action (maid not be maintained. 3lr. t:uax►> contended, that if the horse was takint away by Cooper with the privity of the dtfendant's servants, he you'd be answerable for their act. The Curer Joss rut: thought there was no conversion made out to sustain the action of trove,. If the ddendaut had ntg ligently suffered Cooper to take th e hone sway, that would be cause for an action oR the case, hut not for novo% His Lordship, however, asked if there was any other defence to the action. Mr. M said, he had • complete answer to the action I upon another ground, namely, that l'hurtell, the bankrupt, had swindled Mr. Cooper out of the hone, and, therefore, having nu I title to it, the real owner had a right to follow 1411.1 repmtea him 'elf of tht; aninnL John Cooper deposed, that the horse in question had been his. Ile sold it to Thomas Thurtell, the bankrupt, fur isa guineas, and took his acceptance at one month. The bill was drawn by Probert. Hefo;e the bill became due h e s aw Th omas an d John T hurtell to. gethn at the ('sick, in the Haymarket. They were sitting in a ' little parlour. The mome n t John Thurtell saw witness, he burst out laughing and said, " I thought yo u h a d b een l ong enoug h on the town to k now Letter than to let my brother Thomas do you out' of your horse." The bankrupt, Thomas, also burst but laughing, sour asked witness to take wine with him, and told hint not to mind what his brother John said, for that the bill would be honourably' taken up when due. Withers waited till the hill was due; and when it was due it was dishonoured. Witness afterwards um the Thurtells, and J ohn said he was a fool to let his horse go. Thomas then told him he would pay the bill, if he would bold the bill over a little whlle longs. He held it a week longer but it was not paid. Witticism saw both brothers again repeatedly, and Thomas told Whn candidly that he did not mean to pay him far the border and that lie might do his best or his worst. Wimese then arrested Thomas, who being admitted to bail, sent for him, and reproached him for haring put him to so much expense, for that he meant to. give him his horse again. He then fetched up a bottle of wine, and said, " bet us be frin.ds, not fuca; I mean you to have yuur horse ' after all ; if you go and stay lour law pmcedings, and pay your own expenses, I shall pay mine, and you shall have ybur horse . back, provided you give me a good character to anybody that in quires about awls laugh'. 1 limn, however, have him a week or ten days to make use of him, and then you shall have him back." Witness paid all his own law expences, which amounted to fi or 7/.„ and the proceedings in the action were stayed. Ins week or ten day% afterwards the bankrupt gave him up the hone. Thurtell had told him where the animal vas, and at the end of the time stipu. Mted, riven weet to the defendant's stables, saddled the horse, and rode away with it. The horse had been dreadfully used, and 'cut in the legs. The bankrupt had told witness, half a score times, teat be never meant to pay him far the hose, and told him that he was a fool for letting him go, for he did not mean to pay for that, nor 100 more horses he had hail. Witness received his horse hack about the ;rah of August last. Ile was enabled to fix the day in comequence uf a billof IW. delivered to him by Thurtell, in which lie charged him fur every time he Waked him to take a glass of wine with biro,—This was the defendant's caw. The Lotto CHIEF Jusrict: thought it was a complete answer to the action, and therefore directed a 'sunsuit. COURT OF COMMOSPLEAS, (IvILDnALL, SAT CADA/ u Li' 24. Brfiore the Cul Ey JunTie.E and a Special Jmry. CO . NDER v. CIIAI.I.ENEII. Mr. Sergeant PELL stated, that this was an action brought to recover compensation for a malicious prosecution instituted by the defendant against the plaintiff, on a charge of perjury, ill gail to have been committed in an answer put in by Mr. (kinder to a hal cled against him in the Court of Exchequer. The circumstances out of which the case had mina% were briefly these :—The plaintifl; in the year 1818, was In partnenthip with a person named Evans, and they together carried on the business of tea d ea l ers and grOCe"‘ The defendant was engaged in the same business, and eatsM trans;.c!ions took place between them, in consequence of which they claimed from him a sum of Zfit. 3s. kid. as lot goods sold to him by them through the meslium Of a third person, of the name of Freeman. The defendant resisted the demand, and an action for that sum )race commenced agamst kim, which wan tried before Lard Chief Justice Dallas in 111111, and in which the plaintiff and Mr. Evans his then partner, recovered a v i g li c i t o t h e f u ll amount of their claim. A motion was made in the Court of f.'ommon Pleas to set aside that verdict, but the result being unfavourable to the defendant, he brought a writ of error, which, experiencing the same fate, he filed a bill in the Exchequer, on the Equity aide of that Court, fur a discovery and to stay proceedings. To that bill the plaintiff put in an answer, and it was dismbisal. . The defendant " then filed an amended bill, which was dispuied of in the same manner. Defeated thus in every (breeder, the defendant Then preferred an indictment against the plaintiff at the Sessions for perjury committed in his answer to the original bill. That indict ment, bentevey, was not pressed, on which the plaintiff unload it by certiorari into the Court of King's Bench, and the record being then taken down for trial, it was di s co vere d, t h at t h ere were suc h fariances between the allegations in the indictment and the state ments in the answer, that the indictment could not he supported, and the plaintiff was at once a:quitted. lie should here obeerve,, that the acquittal, though procured on legal 'Objections, equally gave the plaintiff a right of action • but he should be able to show, by the most incontrovertible proofs, namely, by the defendant's own books, that at least one part of the ans wer alleged to be false, was, in fact, literally true. And he should also prove the same in another manner, with respect to the remainticr of the answer. The Learni-d Sergeant concluded by observing, that ahen he had made out his case jn the manner he hail stated, he should have entitled himself to • verdict, and he should call on the Jury, in order fully to exculpate the plaintiff, whose grand object was the vindication of his character, to give such damages as they thought would an swer that purpose. and be an adequate compensation tea an injury like that of which he complained. Some witnesses were then called to substantiate the case; but before they had proceeded far, a consultation was held among the defendant s Counsel, when it was finally arranged that the cause I should be terminated on the folloaing couditions:—A verdict had formerly passed, in this Court, against the present defendant, in a rause similar to this. when the Jury gave 14101. damages. Those damages the plaintiff now consented to velinquish,ori the defendant's undertaking to pay the costs of all the indictments which had been preferred, in consequence of time trahsactions, and other expenses, 111110Unting to about 18101. The (*rimy Jai NT icr thought, that as the plaintifrs object was the vindication o f his character, that object had been fully attained ! by this arrangement.—A Juror, who had sat on both the furrier trials, concurred with his Lordship in the propriety of the course now adopted.

A NDIEWS moved, that a Jury should be impaonelled to value a piece of ground on the west side of Milbank -street, which the Commasioners of Pavement of the parish of St. Paul, West minion., had given notice would be required to wit.an that tweet. A Jury was accordingly sworn, and by direction of the Chairmen went to liilbank-street to view the piece of grour4 to be valued. On their return into Court, Mr. A waiters staled, that theConaniasionen, under the powers vested in them, thought i; expedient to putchaae the piece of ground in question, for the purpose of making Milbank-stremot a uniform breadth, and they had it valued by theiwo pirish surveyors, Mr. Taylor and Mr. Howell, who wood that it was worth about three hundred and fifty pounds, whicn sum* the Commissioners would have readily paid, without any a pp ea l to a J ury : Mit it appeared that Mr. Graham; in whose possession the ground was, could not make a good title, as there was another elan:t e nt o f the ram . ut CtomwelL l'ode; these circumstances, the only way in which a pod title could be obtained was, by the verdict of a Jury, who, however, had bedtime to do with the question of tide, •but merely with th e question of value, which shoulthe fermi in mketscc. • Mr. Jetsam Howell, surveyor to the Cormtutisiiitiors; stated, that he had valued' the pie* of irw4W is question, as freehold, at JCL Its., it itta . bd.a foot Mr. Taylor, also surveyor to the Commis/timers, stated that he valued the grmind at 34.

They lint saw the flames in the char, and lost no time in alarming the family, who had re. tired to rest &tea after ten o'clock; ind were at the time asleep, u.t. conscious of the danger that threatened then,. Mrs. Stein was the first who heard the a a-m, and, thinking that some person required the professional assistance of her hUsband, she went to the window, when she len apprised of the perilous situation of herself and fa mily. She immediately aroused her husband, and took the nett-, any steps forsecuring the safety of her children and parents ; the whole family made a precipitate escape front the house in their night clothes, the rapid progress of the flames rendering it dang.r. Ms to stay for the purpose of putting on even a single article of dress, or of securing the 'Richest portion of the property which the house contained. Mr. Stein attempted to save his book of counts, and had two or three of them in his hands, but was so overcome by the dense smoke, which rushed in clouds from the cella:s, that he fell, and was obliged to relinquish then:, and seek safety in flight. The flames having commencit: in the lowest story, made a very rapid progress upwards • in a very short time after the family had escaped, the whole house was ea relived in flames. An alarm was, of mum.. immediately given and several engines were speedily brought ; but considerable diffl- Way was experienced in procuring a supply of water ; the nearest fire-plug that could be found was at the hOltOlll of King.street, aro: when it was opened, there was no sater in the pipes ; so that ti., engines were useless tin half an hour of they arrived.
