The Ws Speech, et the opening of the Parliament. ruts an end to all chotii, and terminatee all our tiisemerions with the Journals of the two eppo.itions. Our words are reedited, and the political views andthe declamations of the opponent pabliciats,may now be appre ciated. We have maintained that theme was nothing unforeseen in the step taken by England, and we new rend in the Speech from the Throne. that it is conformably " to the declarations which have &eh repeatedly mode in his Majesty's name that this step has been talon.''

It is rear *hat the word " confirm" indicates here nothing new ; it is the actual situation which it is io - ended to establish. %V here then, are those ditties, which, according to two Journals which aesased us of weakness and ignorant'', were to be stipulated as I or ' 20 kis favour of Raglisb goods, while, for ours, they were to be as Streeii? We have affireed that England had sought to alleviate as much as panibla the qffeet of the step which it had just taken, and that it would carefully avoid every thing that could Ore tbs. idea of a tecogsiticcoof independence; and we had shown Med rimed with cerement capitals poured into these countries during these seven:" toes wears, in consequence of the mad expedition of Buonsparte ea Spain, which separated the Spanish Colonies from the Mother Country, England had been induced to take measures which seem ed to veto be a r.tal political fault, because they were a violation of theorinetple of legitinanew ; and we see in the Royal Speech /ids what care every thing that could meal the idea of indepen dence is kept away, since it speaks only of the confirmation of an. grim Illations, and the word Republic, and even that of New Ikaes, is not prononneed. The King, speaking of the Spanish Catgut's, says—" Those countries or Anienca which appear to haft completed their separation from Amin."

JAN. ?'.—A change of Ministers is much spoken of here, with the exception of those of the Marine and Finances. M. Ugarte is spoken of by some as the successor of M. Zea Ber trand, whilst others name ( par interim) the Duke de Flnfanuitto, which appears to predict a new and complete reaction in the mode. tart system, towards which M. Zea Win anxious to direct the aorernment. In the midst of these intrigues our Stir isms do not lot sight of their private in! mots; and as elle) , are always 03 the brink of losing their portibtrifirs, they make the best use they can of the time they remain in office.

The Tresaurer.General Das declared that if they persisted in this scandalous course of pro. seeding, he would tender his resignation, as he found it impossible to convey an Address to the King on the subject, all means of ac ross to his Majesty being closed against him. Commoniestions with Lisbon continue to be very frequent ; the r)..ange of Ministry, brought shout by the influence of Sir W. ATotirt. has produced a great sensation in that city. The nomi. native of M. Pinheiro.Ferreira, who was Minister under the Cortes, is Partimaarly objectionable to our Cabinet. [From the Constititionnel of Sunday.l The Speech from the Throne, which 'hr Lord Chancellor spoke atothe opening of the English Parliament, has been expected with impatience • curiosity was anxinus to know what language the Banish 414ernnient would hold in the new situation it had chosen. ft was -what ought to have been expected from Mr. (lanning's ahilities ; it is simple and moderate ; hut this moderation shows the strength and fixedness of the resolutions ; it at the same time proem that the English Ministry are well aware of the prontion of the Continental Powers, who, in separating their interest from that of the people, have, so to speak. nvorally disarmed themselves, rand could not undertakes hostile movement spinet England with. out hastening their ruin, and siert compromising their own ex.i‘teace. The English Minister. however, announce an aug-nentstion io thiiir military establidnuent i this augmentation is founded on the coceseity of reinfiweing the Indian army, and probably that of irek.nd ; this is the ostensible motive, but might not the true de ep be to prove to the lady Alliance that England would be ready if any ill will was shown her for her little veneration for the mo rnrchical principle as laid down by the Congresses, to bear the con • sequences! English policy agrees very well with those underhand proceedings. tThe decisive measure is at last made. England takes the proper miewaures to conlinn by treatiea the commercial relations which exist between her and th:.• Sta: es of South America, which have seceded from Spain. Now ea treaties can only he concluded with Intlepen dero Stores, it is evident that the words of the King of England sire • formai acknowledgment of the independence of the Chl Spa. ;.,•h Colonies. This is without doubt the most important event 4,1 the present period.

Yesterday mnreing, one of the most alarrnieg, and suddenly destructive conflagrations that perhaps for a number of years has alarmed that pert of the country, broke out at the splendid man. *ion of Henry Drutemon.l. Due the banker, at Notting-hill, about foir miles from town, on the Uxbridge road. The mansion has for a short time past been the residence of a gentleman nair.ed Hynd man, and family.. latel- returned from India. The whole of the family had, it appeared, on Monday visited Drury-lane l'heatre, and returned home about one o'clnek. and shortly after retired to rest. Abort two o'clock, one of the servants was )(woke by a strong and suffocating smell, and on opening his eyes felt the painful sensation of a powerful current of smoke rushing lit his lice. Ile instantly jumped up, and on opening the door to give the alarm of fire, a column of smoke and flame rushed upon him, , from which he retreated back into the room. The came cause had 1 , roused others of the servants and family, and the dreadful nature ' of the danger being epparent to all, a scene of indescribable confu ' sion prevailed. However, fortunately Mr. Ilyndman. trith great presence of mind, succeeded in cherking the alarm of his servants, most of whom are Indians, and collected his family on the lawn. just before the stealing flame burst into a universal blaze. zed one ' side of the noble mansion appeared entirely nn fire, which, with incredible rapidity, communicated to the adjoining wirg of the building, and in a short time it rrmented one grand and awful body of fire, illuminating the bonzon for a very considerable extent. Horsemen had been despatched to London for the fire engiaee, but the grand illumination caused by the conflagration in the heavens had. it seemed, anticipated their errand, and operated I as a guide to the firemen, who were met on the road, hastening to I the scene of devastation. The County. tinder the direction ee Smart, the engineer. was the first on the lawn ; and a plentiful supply of water being obtained from the extensive fish-pond in the garden. the powers of the engine were soon in full requisition. and the elements were opposed to each other, but with no evident effect, until about four o'clock in the morning, when the left wing flailing in with a tremendous crash, the dreadful element sttetained a check, and a great body of water being thrown in from enteral engines stationed at every corner of the burning pile, the flames became subdued, and about six o'clock nothing was visible but a heap of smoking mine. Fortunately, the mansion being in the midst of an extensive garden and greunde, no other dwelling wax included in the dreadful ruin, but the loss and damage done is very great. 'F he furniture, stock. he. were insured fortereral thousand pounds; but elr. ilyndnian, not having effected any policy of insurance on his property and valuables, hat susteined a very con‘iderithle loss. The alarm among his Indian servants was at first very great, but they afterwards rendered very important services to the firemen. The family a Mr. Ilyedman have returned to London. Such was the alarm ceased by the tremendous and extensive appearance of she flames, that for many miles round the alarm-bells were rang, and ergines front eietent stations, by five &deck, were on the grounds before the rraneion. The ruins were smokine at tour o'clock yesterday evening. The fire was caused, it is believed, by a flue becoming overheated. .ANOTHER COACH ROBBERY. Yesterday information was received at the Mansion-House that two parcels containing 2.0401. in Bank notes. had been stolen on ' the preceding day out of Newman's Gravesend coach. Notwithstanding the gloat beams sustained by the carelessness of bankers, the plans of the Landon gangs are still as profitable as ern to the spetnlatora in coach robberies. Ile this case there was no blame attributable to those who transmitted the 'muse. They ex actly followed the directions of the bankers whose notes are thus probably thrown into a accord cireelation. At a little rater one o'clock on Monday, a earcel directed to Messrs. Drench! y and Co., Gravesend, containing 1.403!. in coua try note.. was delivered to the coachman of the Gravesend conch; anti another parcel. directed to Meseta. Milian, TWiSP, end CO.. Graves rid, containing effil.„ also in country notes, was also put into his care, with ceders personally to give them into the ettetody of both houses. The fleet parcel was transmitted by the house of Williams and Co. of Birehindane, the second by that of Sir John Peering. The cenchtran, at the acme time, as, well acquainted with the contents of both parcels. Ile immediately proceeded to the yard of the Bull Inn, in Leadenliall-street, where his coach was, and deposited the parcels in a box constructed ae the depositary of esti:able property. under hi., own seat. He then double-locked the box, and put a padlock over the first lock, so that lie fancied all the (flints of the thieves, perticularly as he had to goon so short a journey, would be ineffectual. flaring thus prepared himself for the wont, he we n t into the inn to have a little refreshment, after which he collected his passengers, and drove off to Gravesend, supposing that all was safe. Upon his arrival, when he went to open the box, he found that some goal-natured fellow had saved him the trouble. Both locks had been wrenched open, tied bath parcels lied been removed. The coachman, upon putting in his hand, found nothing but the padlock, which the thief left. to order to prevent any unnecessary expense, as the repair of the old article would cost lean than a new one. When the house's at Gritreited heard of the mbberv, they immediately sent oft intelligeece to Imo. don, and as the numbers of the stolen notes are known, and hand. bilk were immediately put in circulation in Gravefiend and its neighbourhood. there are some hoots entertained of the recovery of the property. Those. however, who are hest qualified to judge of the system of the getieral run of coach depredators. apiieehend that the restoration of the notes will be a matter of greater difficulty, and that a compromise will be expected. No suspicion is entertained of any of the passengers, all of whom arc persons of good character, and resident. of Gravesend. It is believed that the trick was done when the coachman was taking refreshment in the Bull Inn at I.esdenhall-,trees. It is evident that those who accomplielad it (for there sew always. upon such occasions, three or four persons engsged t, were adepts in enterprises of this kind. It has been ascertained that when a banker's parcel is about to be sent into the country, the coachman or guard has been followed from the banking-heuse, and watched in every movement, until ho has deposited his charge. It is therefore absolutely necessary that, so long as this negli gent mode of transmitting properly is adhered to, the coachman or gaud should keep it about his per-on, arid even then much basset' is run, as has been teetided in a recent case. The banking-henees are, we understand- delighted at the re turn of the Parliamentary business, which, by obliging the Mem bers to come to town, will enable them to procure a sufficient number of franks, tinder which to send the courtly notes. without nsk. it is notorious that at several very respectable Menses in the City the notes are regularly weighed, in ruder that the Pose. office coarges tnay not be incurred and this disposal of franks is what is called " franking letters on business." Rome house,' have, we are told, determined upon employing clerk', with liberal salaries, to perform this very important part of tee hueinem: but so long as coachmen or guards are to be entrusted, the efforts of the ingenious thieves, with whom the metropolis abounds, till he con tinued and successful, notwithstanding the difficulties apparently thrown in the way of co-enroll:Lees. It is remetkable that oe the day of the robbery two of the City officers taw part of a ga , ug of coach robbers, abate the Kent road, and instantly said to each other that they feared „ a *crew was hmee" somewhere. and that the coaches would pry for it. The officers received directions updi the subject of the robbery. They know who are not the putties implicated, hut they are sileht. cuurse, on the affirmative of the queatlort. If the parcels had eeen stolen by a gang. aortae of the members of which have been already before the public, and if they had committed the robbery in the yard of the lon. it is belie:cid by those who are expe.ienced ,n detecting crimes of the most tolachterols nature, that the notes would bars tern imineilove!y sent back, to he tittered at the houses from which they had been sent; as the thieves would be likely to calculate unnn the probability that the clerks would never suspect that notes which they had just sent tett' to parcels could be returned the next woolens.. look - at with pirem auspicio .. Thetather side had not yet stated what their equity was, neither had they stated one fact which had not been tried, nor, in Mr. Heald's opinion, could they. It was one of the most forlorn cacti that lie could recollect—a mere jumble Amongst the many new Companies now before Paeh ia- - -- _— I up of eleven pleas, in the hope that the Court would do to nething.

With respect to the hypothesis that M r. Heuld had of the put th case on, It was necessary for his Lordship to captain past year. himself. In any observations he had made, he ITltafil to confine himself to this, that *lmre rornpavies eactd only be legally fermcd -- - by Charles, or Acts of Parliament, till they were so formed. they could not sell shares for profit. In advertisersems which are to be seen almost every day, there are twenty or thirty fine names MP tinrcd as direerms, Eating, perhaps, that thry lisve a fund of five mithona of money, end that they are selling shares, winch are to prtalcce. the Lord knows what I But they do not say that they had only subscribed one pound I Thus people, seeing such golden prospects before their eyes, go and buy shares at an advance of MI. per cent., and som afterwards they are left to maks what they can of their shares, with an ink imation, that no such company had ever been framed, or intended to be formed, nor cry such turd seen or heard of except in the adveriisernentr ! It was by the farmwife' of the New River Company (which had a most laudable object io view) :hat Sir William Middleton (Lord !tiepin) was ruined. In one instance the name of an individual of high rank (a Noble Earl) has been held cut as having made 140.0001. in selling shares, but his Lordship had reason to believe and be satisfied that that indivi dual never had any more coixern with any thing of this sort than his Lordship himself hal, and which was nothing on earth ; but the degree of influence aas amazing that the propagation of such a re port had ip creating an appetite fey such speculations. And was it not the duty of every feeling mind, who knew the law respecting such transactions, to let innocent, unsuspecting, and honest men, know in what condition they place themselves when they embark in such speculations ? A Gentleman behind the bar appeared on the same side with Misses. Hart and Ile-aid, but he abstained from entering into any argil men T. Mr. Fon LiCtronsGrsZnar. replieu with his usual energy and ingeruite. observing with much forte on the arguments of his Lesmcd Friends on the other Ride. He concluded. by offering to bring the money into Court, if the Court should think it necessary, with a view to have the question mare fully tried. phis LO R DSH I P said, whether the no:ion that this was an illegal body was tiro entertained in this Court a tiny or two ago, he did not know, but it clearly was raised on the pleadings at law. The first question was, whether the Court ought to interfere at the in. stance of the plaintiff? Wi:h respect to whether the bond was de livered as an wrote, has been matter of two pleas, bnth of which have been negatived. The neat point w.ut with respect to surety ship ; it never was said in judgment that the surety should be at liberty to say to the principal, he shall not pay that which he has guaranteed to pay. till the principal has run through all the Courts. As to those speculative companies. men were not to run away with the ides, that they who are so active in those speculations are, as it were, making an ex post facto law—they nrc doing no such thing ; no Court of Justice can refuse to act on the law as it now stands. and no subject in our Courts can be taken to be ignorant of the law of the land. In this particular case, let the object have been ever en praiseworthy, yet upon looking into the book, which seemed to have -been examined elsorhere, it turned out that this was a body acting as a corporate body. without having been legally incorporated, and it would be impossible ter this Court to sanetinn any of their acts. Ilk Lordship concluded by saying that he would inimeetiately read the bill, answer, and pleadings, and give judg ment in it other to-morrow or the following day. for him, and when the defendant called, he was asked to prudes; his rate book. Now he (Mr. Scarlet* apprehended that the over seer was not• required to caere the rates in his pocket : it was Its. upon these two questions that the Jury had to decide, and they, by their verdict, had determined that the dematet to inspect the rates IV/I4 rot made either at a coatetilem time or at a coureuiesat place. But he would submit further, wilether this was an Imper fect refusal on the part of the defeadent to allow the plaintiff to in spect the rates ? The defendant did not peeitively refuse, but oily ribbed to ascertain, first, whether the party applying lied the power to insist upon taxiing the rats shown to him : and as sena as he had learnt this (set. which was at the expiration only of a few hours, he went and offered to show the plaintiff his books, but Mr. Smith, the attorney. raid it was then too late. for he had issued out the writ to recover the penalty which ha had incurred by his former refusal. The defendant went to a neighbour the next morning t aid stated the circumstance. who advised him to let the plaintiff have a copy of the rate, arid lie (the defendant) went accordingly, so early as six o'clock the next morning with it, but nothing Pus than the prosecuting of this action would satisfy the plaint:ff. This Act of Parliament au nude to mete:it overseer' from mak ing rates upon frivolous occasions but if their Lordships should think this action supportable, and grail a new trial. they would enable a sharp and canning attorney to involve always every vri- Lige churchwarden in the country in actions upon penalties, by catching them comniitting themselves from igaoranee of their liabi lity to such penal consequences as 'he one now tinder their boid ships' notice. But he conceived their Lordship would not thus construe the Act. Ti.e pretext fur die action was, that Mr. Smith hail, as the pluintifre attorney. wanted to give notice of appial against the rate, and that he wanted a copy of it immediately. but it Mr. Sp meeley thought that he was ng;,nieved by the rue, why did he not give notice of critical at all events. anti -.hen he atm the rate on the following day, he might then have determined wbctber he would actually appeal or not. Mr. ALF:Witte:a followed on the same side. Mr. Bani G A:d argued in %import of 'the rule. He said that his Learned Friends 'scented to have greatly mistaken the ground of this ;union. They argued as if the 'round wan that his cheat had endured an injure front their Metres; but this was not so, tor whether he lied or t of was perfectly immaterhil, for the statute not give the penalty with regard to any less sustained, but it said in positive teems that if the set was neglected or refused to he done, the action should he had i—and why ? In order to keep tiw churchwarden to Iris duty, nod that was to he done by a penal sc rim+, and not as a compensation to a party bringing it tor damages sustained in consequence of the refusal. The circumstances of Ow present case did not admit of his Learned Friend's comments. (Sr the churchwarden did.not live more than a hundred yards from d plaintiff. applying for the rate, and lie had been aid two days be fore that the rate would be required to be seen, and was desired ri t to forget to bring it with hint when he was near for. But a hat to (Mr. Brougham) complained of was. that his Lordship had at the trial put it to the Jury whether the refusal wan emcluaire, tt whether it was not complied with in a reasonable dice. Now, what lie contended was, that if the refusal was once made, the party was liable to the penalty under the Statute : although he afterwards gave a copy of the rate, that did-not purge away the original reftis.d, nor exempt him from the penalty ; lie therefore contended stint this wan rot a question to be left to the Jrry, fie the penalty haying lams once incurred. no nuosequent compliance with the request could do it away. Ile therefoie hoped their Lord ships would make the rule absolute. The hoar) Corer JrSTICX said. lie thought if they were to grant a new trial in this case, they should convert the Art of Ps:- liement into a means in the hands of a running attorney, of doing • great deal of mischief. The only question with him was, net whether his Learned Brother had lett the question to the Jury correctly or not, but whether lie ought to hare left it to the Jury at ell, but to have taken It upon himself to nonsuit the plaintiff. Ton words of the Statute were, that if the Churchwarden did not permit the party to inspect the rates. he should forfeit the sum of 201— Ta wham ? Not to the party siting, nor to the party applying to inst2ect the rites, but to the party aggrieved. Now, was this plant till aggrieved ? It did not *gives? so. Ile was not prevented from appealing. Before the action could be brought, it must he shorn that application to inspect the rates was made at a convenient tune and at a convenient plate. Now, It did not appear that the re quest was either at a conveniert time. for it was very late at night, our at a convenient place, for It was not at the churchwarden's own home. but whet he was from home. Ilia Lordship had no doubt that the question lett by hislwarned Brother to the Joey, had been so dore in a proper manner, but he was very much inclined to think that his Unread Brother ought to have nonsuited the plain tiff altogether. The other Jutiges concurring in this opinion, the rule for a ter trial was disiebar,ud. COURT OF RING'S BENCH, TurwaY., FE/. & PEXXOTIM r. ADAMS• This was an action Wires brought by the plaintiff against the defendant, tried at the hest Somerset Assizes, before Mr. Baron Germs and a Special Jury. The cause of action wait, that the de fendant hail lopped aril topped certain ornamental trees, which overebacied the plaintiff's field. The Jury gave a verdict for the planed]; damages—hOOL Mr. Selwin, last Term. on behalf of the defendant. moved the Court for a rule to show cause why the damages should not be reduced, and obtained a rule for that purpose. Mr. Sergeant Pent. now appeared to show cause against the rule ; but wa , interrupted by the Chief Justice aiming whether the parties could rot come to an arrangement? Mr. Seeger...et PELL said every thing had been done on the part of his client, with a view to an arrangement, and that he was even willing to give up all claim to damagee, provided the defendant should ray his costs. to be taxed between attorney and client. Mr. Jusiice BATLEY then suggested that this arrangement had better be come to ; aryl it was ultimately ageeed to refer it to the Master to tax the plaintiff's ems. as between attorney and client, and to allow such charges as ehould appear to him to be reasonable, not coming strictly within that rule. RASTIN W. CAREW AND OSSORNI (CLERKS). This was an action brought against the defendants, al Magi*. twee of the County of Devon, to recover dameges for the injury he had sustained by consequence of being expelled by them from a farm which the plaintiffoccupied as tenant to a gentleman of the name of Pugh. The defendants tiering been applied to by Mr. Pugh. the landlord, to glve him possession of the farm by virtue of elleAct of the '!d (leo. 11. cap. 19. which empowered them so to do in case it should appear to them that the tenant had deserted it, laving rent in mercer, and the premises in a dilapidrited state : they accordingly went and viewed the condition of the farm, left the usual nonce to the tenant, of their intention to come at a future day and deliver up possession to the landlord. unless be in ihe rnean.iimcsieturned and occupied it, and paid the rent that was in arrest. This notice not having keen complied with, the Magi*. rates went on ti e day appointed, and delivered up :he fartn to Mr. Pugh. Against this act the plaintiff entered his appeal, on the ground that the record made by the Magistrates did rot set forth the evidence upon which they had procreileel ; but when the appeal cane on to be heard, there appeared to be some informality oat the part of the plaintiff and the proceedings on the appeal were quashed. Subsequently the present action was brought. which was tried at the last Devonshire Assizes. before the hoed Chief Justice. when, After much coo2:cting testimony , as to the actual state of the film at the time the plaintiff was expelled, his Lord ship left it. to the Jury to say whether they thought the farm hued been really deserted ; who returned • verdict for the defendants. A ode girl having been obtained last Term, culling on the de fendants to show cause why the verdict should cot be set aside, and a new trial granted— Me. Sergeant PELL this day showed cause against it, and con. tended that the defendants had done no other than what they were hound to do by the Act of Parliament, and that it was nut nate , - any they should receive evidence on oath, as had beeu argued on the part of the plaintiffnt the trial. CUITTT folio% ed on the same Side. Mr. Sergeant if ienr. argued in suppon of the rule. He would respectfully submit to the Court that the paper called a record in this cause was not deserving of that name. The evidence on the I trial was all one way. First of all there was an Act of Parliament made for summary proceedings, by which the magistrates without trial were empowered to dispossess a tenant of his farm. In this case, no summons was issued to require the plaintiff to appear be. fore the defendant, precious to their givitier over possession to the landlord, although they knew that he lived only a few yard' froth diem ; but having been &palled to by the landlord, they, 11j;00 those hearsay facto. immediately proceeded to judgment, which he was told was conclusive. 31c.Justice Bev Le e—No, that is not said; Cie party has an ap peal. Mr. Sergeant WILDE then contended that they ought to have given the plaintiffs henring, andel:at the proof of there being rent actually in arrear should have appeared on their record, aid that too should have been taken upon oath. Ile considered this crate a very hard ore, and lie hoped their Lordehipe wotild tint sustain the conviction, but make the rule absolute air a new trial. The LORD Cutter .11151110 E said, he thought he ought. at the trial, to have nonsuiteil the plaintiff; forte took it to be the law. that where a Magistrate did an act under the authority of an Act of Parliament, de wits not liable to an action, utilise clear evidence was adduced of his having acted wilfully corrupt, or with malice. Much hail been said ca to the absence of proof of rat being in ar. rear; bet this question was immaterial, as to the liability rf the delendante, provided it had beea represented to them that there was rent due. The person who caused them to act where no rest wee due, wou'd be liable to an action en the case, but not the Ma. ! gietrate. Again the Act of Parliament did not require the Magis•- i trace to :rake inquiry into the circumstances upon oath, and was 1 that Court to say that the Magistrate hail not done all that was re. ! gutted of Min, because he had not ac ed upon the oath of the said person ? It wmild be very hard upon Magistrates if they should be liable to an action of treepass, or en the exile, for not having done that, which, upon looking at the Act of Parliament, tits, nut appear to be required of them. Suppose all the Magistrates within that jurialietton had refused to do as these had done, and an application were made to that Court for a Mdndan;us, would they not be obliged to grant it ? All that the Court could re_ quiet, of them would he to view the premises ; but we meld not direct them to hear the parties on oath, for the Act of Parliament dtd rot go so far. The rule, thecefore, must be discharged. Mr. Justice BAYLEY said, that there was no hardship in the case, inuniurb as the party had a right of appeal ; and it would be very hard upon landlords, if. upon a tenant loving his farm, which was going to a state of dilapidetion, he should have no means but by the tedious process of an action by ejectment to regain po•session of his property in order to prevent its altogether going to ruin. He WAS of opinion that the Justices were not liable to this action, and that th. record was conclusive ir: their defence. Mr. Juvice HOLPOYD agreed with leis Learned Brothers that the rule ceight to be thecharged. Rule -Visi diachargal. SPENCELEE V. ROBINSON. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, 11 - treamtsrms, FEs.

LAW IN7'FLI.IGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, TUESDAY, Fia. & ERR% V. EVERETT, WAI.NER. AND co. This was an appeal from hi, Honour the Vix.Chancellor. The question was, whether an injunction to restrain suing out execution upon a bond should be discharged or continued. His Honour had been of opinion that, under the circumstances, the iejunction ought to lie discharged. The Solicitor-Orr:nal yenteilay sought before his Lordship to reverse thin judgment, and to continue the injunction. The short facts of the case a ere these. In 1814 a Company was formed. proposed to be incorporated by Act of Par liament, called the Bayswater Spring Company. and the defend. ants, Messrs. Everett, AValker, and Co., were the banker* to the Institution formed for the manufacture of stone pines for the ton 'cermet of water through London. The principal managers and eltroolioldern of this Company were Mr. Richard Hill, Mr. ll:nry Wright, Mr. George Bolton Mainwaritig. and Mews. Everett and Co. The shares were of lOW. each, and Mr. Mainwaring agreed to take tl2 of them at a sum of 2.2001. A bond was cxe. toted he Mr. Mainwarirg for the payment of thin sum, and the plaintiff. Mr. IValpole Erre. became surety in the bond for that sum of 2.2001. Upon this bond legal proceeding. had been inci toted against Mr. Eyre, a VellliCt pronounced. and the injunction had been obtained before b Honour to restrain suing out execu tion. The gtottnds upon which this injunction rested were many; first, that the fact, stated in the bond were not correct, and that in truth the res fern( therein contained had n a subsequent bond won executed bykol xieitence in:arine! in "°nd ' favour th o s f i Mr. Messrs. Everett and Walker. for the ROM of 10,1661., and that the rum of 2.2(01. was included in that larger amount. Besides these two ground's, there were others equally conclusive, founded upon the Act G (leo. 1. c. IR. No Act of Parliament was ever period or Charter :ranted to form the Company, no certificates were made out. and no money had actually been paid. An action had been brought in the Court of Common Pleas, and a decision had Leen pronounced against the present plaintiff. The Sciatem rna.Grornot. referred to the Act 6 Geo. 1.. and argued that it wan applicable only to vendors snd vendors in a tranitaction, and not to sureties, who might be drawn in without having any interest whatever in the matter. There were penalties of premunire mentioned in the Act, which, if the construction were otherwise. would not be quite so agreeable to the present plaintiff. end others in a similar predicament. Ile conceived, therelSoe, that the object of the Act was to annul a contract, as between tenant. and vendee only. He entitled to a case, Law v. the Fast India Company, where a surety had actually paid money for hie principal, and a here the money wan refunded, the Court having declared that it was prematurely paid. in the present rase no money bad been raki,, end he eppreiggoied that upon these several mounds the injunction should he continued. Mr. WYATT. on the Same side, thought his Lordship would not he now prepared to decide, whether the case did or did not fall within the Act of fr Geo. I. The LORI) CHANCELLOR agreed that it was a point of consi• dereble importance. and lie should he isnwillng to say any tiling which might be any way prejudicial to any parties. As the matter now stood, if, in a writ of error, the House of Lon!' should rive no opinion favourable to the plaintiff, then there would be no neva. Finn for thin injanction ; and If against him, of course no injunc tion could be obtained upon that legal ground. Mr. Ilene proposed that the portent argument should be ion:_ pencil until the legs] question was decided, and di: Lord Chin. cellor consented to that Course. Mr. Ileol.n, however, who wan for the defendant wlth fir. Hart. objected to this proceeding, and Mr. Wyatt continued his ohs rvationn, omitting all argument upon the Act 6 Cleo. 1., as irrelevant in the present state of the question. Thin day the Loan CHANCTetOR called upon Mr. Wyatt to proceed in this case. Ile wished first to make one observation ; he observed in the sixth nr seventh plea. the parties had pleaded that this transaction was within the Stock Jobbing Act ; the plea W 44 denied, and then both parties put themselves upon the counoo. Now, was this the usual way is which it was ascertained whether or not transactions were within the meaning of an Act of Par liament ? Mr. H.IIIT thought it was not, unless followed up by parole evidence. Mr. WYATT said, if there was any difficulty about bringing a writ of error, he was quite sure his Lordship would direct an Issue : all he could say wan, that the Court below felt no difficulty with resorts to the form of pleading. There wits only ore circumstance which he omitted to state yesterday, vehich Its row meant to trou ble his lordship with, and . which was, that as the but d for 2.003,'. was raleulated in the bond for 10,0001, and also in the insignment, the old sureties were discharged by the panics having taken a new surety. Mr. llorot appeared to oppose the motion. This was an appli ration for an injunction upon equity contemn' by the answer. Front whet his Lordship had observed yesterday with respect to the bond. Mr. Hart thought he might take this bond to be a legal available bond, and capable of being enforced in a Court of Law, and then the question was. whether the concomitant circumstances were sufficient to authoriz- the defendants at law to call upon a Court of Equity to bind the hands of the plaintiffs. and thereby to prevent their having that benefit which a Court of Law tells them they are entitled to have? Mr. Hart then recapitulated the cit. curnstaneea attending the formation of the Company. These trees actions, be was willing to admit, had worked greater mischief and more irreparable cumin to thousands of families, than ern did the South Sea snecolationn ; and were at this moment causing more 'messiness in die city of London, tuna any public arecuiation could coosibly cause. TMs. heoever, he (Mr. Hart) washed to imprtss on bin Lordshiti'a mind, was not one of those public speculations, which deserved the character that many of the ' , resent tossing tem porery trinwlctiora merit. Hi. LonostrtP said. if he understood thane speculairons (and he was far from being able to say he did fully understand some of them) many of them had in view what might be exceedingly laud_ able ; butt still, as Maie of them, conducted in the same way. might operate as cheats and frauds. the Legislature bad until words, which, for a time, included the one class as well as the other. Mr. FIART considered, that in this case he was relieved from tie legal construction. His LORDSHIP thought so too: became, where on application is made to this Court for an injunction, a question of law might arise, which it in lust an competent for this Court to decide as it is competent for a Court of law to decide; hut whether this Court will take upon itself to decide will depe• II greatly on the conduct of the parties', particularly where they had been before at law. In this case the parties had had a trial in the Court of Common Picas; there was a judgment, and also a writ of error to the Court of King's Bench ; there was a judgment of the Court or Kite's Bench ardent it party who had not thought proper to argite the question in that Court ; and as a winding up. his Lordship wan now told, there wax a writ of error to be brought to the Horse of fiords. His ' Lordship felt himself autftori•serl to say, that if there be a question to be argued in the Court of !Clog's Bench. and the parties choose to pens by that Court nod go to the House of Lords, they are, by an doing. neither treating the Howie of Lords well, nor taking those steps the policy of the law required should be taken ; because the Legislature, in giving the suitor the advantage of an appeal to 1 the House of Lords, meant that a correct judgment should lie given 1 an anon as possible, and that time House of Lords. in decilirg :he question. should have the orivanta,gc of the judicial opinion of the t Courts below. Therefore, upon reflection. his Lordship was of 1 opinion that lie was bound to confine himself, and to cordite hlin self only to equitable grounds in this case. Ili. Lordship could not 'Link that any man could be no extravagantly will as to say, , that a great nosey of those speculative trausa,:tions were carried on i by honest men, and aith honest intentions; and the heginlattint i may be indocesi hereaPet, with a view to protect hottest men from the cheats and frauds of some of these transactions, to name Atone that have useful objects in virw ; nod therefore. those who are now engaging in therm shossla take great care that those in which they engage are such as shall be by the Legislatuie included in thisie I they will declare to have useful object,. in view. This hit Lordship considered as an extremely important caution to many very honest men. Mr. Hisao said, in this ease there never was any ale - rtisement • gent forth to the world. inviting such persons to purchase shares is I thin Company as could purchase them. His Lou:taut' , wished the Isearned Counsel not to understand that he meant to say this was not such a Company an he described, but :he defendants at law had put Mr. Hart's clients nn the recnel in the Court below, as on, of thine Mupanies that are so prolific at the present moment. If they had proved their record, thin Court would he bound to take it tribe so ; boo if they had no: proved it, then his Lordship hilt' nothing to do with it. Mr. llone contended, that this was a mere.private partnership between a Certain number of most respectable gentlemen ; nor had it any thing about it to entitle it to tl e apuellation of a bobble. W hen he said he considered himself relieved from tl:e argument on the legal cooatructior, it was not bccanne he conceived this Court at all incompetent to deride the question. One of the serious ob. jections merle by the %VT!, Pa], that the shares purchased had not been immediately transferred to Mr. Mainworing. In answer to this it was only necessary to sat, that the eminent the sale war made, notice wax given to Mr. Foster, the clerk of the eurnosnv, that Menton. Everett had Redd their sixty. six shares to Mr. Main. Waring. and nothi•tg more could be required. Another objection was, that the bond which bad been given never sae a deed, but Mr. Hart could smote the Court that the bond was not delivered as an escraz. And with respect to the last objection, that the old surety wan discharged, because the two thousand pounds was cal culnted as Mr. Wyatt bad stated, it was but necessary to say the fact wan not so.
