THE LA TEACC I DENT IN GRAY'S-INN-LAN E An inquest was held on Saturday at the workhouse of St. An. drew's parish, Holborn, before Mr. Stirling, the Coroner, on the bodies of Thomas Clancy the elder, and Thomas Clancy the younger. father and son, and Michael Toomey, who were unfor. tunatsly killed by the falling of several houses in Gray's Inn-lane, and Spread Eagle-court. W. Foster was the first witness. He said he resided at 19. High. street, Bloomsbury, and was a carpenter. On Thursday morning last he went to Spread Eagle-court, to assist in pulling down some houses which were situated, in the court. The three deceased per. sons were 'shooters, and were also employed there. In the after. noon of that day he was standing on the s..eond floor of the house at the corner of Gray's Inn-lane and the court, when he observed to his master that one of the strutts was out, which was placed there to support the trimming joists. The strutt, which was a sort of pillar, lial stood on a stone placed in the old wall, and supported the floor above, but it had slipped off the stone. A man named Webb recommended that it should be shored, and he and witness were then going down stain' to procure the necessary materials, when the floor gave way. The witness, who was oo the stairs, • futund them giving .way under him, and lie clung to a wall for safety. Webb was on an insecure part of the floor, which had also given way, and he fell down among the ruins; bet Mr. Evans, their master, got on a more secure part of the floor. A cry was then raised that a man was below, and witness and Mr. Evans went down to render assistance to Webb. They found him buried in the ruins, excipt his head, which alone could be seen. A number I of labourers instantly came to the spot, but. Mr. Evans sent them back, and directed witness to go up and make them attend to their work. The witness accordingly went up to the top of the second house, and he had been there but a very short time, when he felt the floor sinking, and himself with it. On going down be was almost insensible, but when he reached the bottom he recovered himself, and found he was lying on a beam surrounded with rub bish. A man who was near him groaned very heavily, raised his head and fell down. The witness then scrambled over the fallen materials, and met his master. He was much hurt, and was nearly choked. The houses were to have been entirely pulled down and rebuilt; and in pulling down the wall, the bricks and rubbish fell upon the second floors, but that did not occasion the fall of the houses, alftlie witness said there was not more than 2,000 bricks at any one time upon the floor. (The witness said his side and foot were much hurt, and when he roughed kis breast seemed to be bursting open.) The Jury considered that it was a very careless way of pullitig down the house, as, instead of placing the bricks on the old floors, they should have thrown them into the street. Immediately they found the strutt had got away, they should have placed something there to make the flooring secure. James Carroll was the next witness.—He was in a most dread. ful situation. There were several wounds on his face, and the tutor fellow could scarcely stand or speak. He said he was em ployed at one of the houses as a labourer ; hearing the crash oc. casioned by the Fall of the first house, he and others ran down to render assistance, but were sent back by Mr. Evans. On his re_ turn he stopped at the top of the tflijoining house, when young Clancy (the deceased) came up to him, and inquired If he had found some marbles ; witness told him where to find them, and the words were searaely out of his mouth when the floor gave way under them, and they fell down to the ground floor with the rub.. bish and materials. When he was on the top floor; he saw old Clancy near the wall, with a pick-axe in his hand. On the second floor there was a great quantity of rubbish, exceeding a cart load, and on the day previous there was more rubbish anti a largequan tity of timber, which.was more than sufficient to )rave drawn'down a stronger house. The witness told Mr. Evans of this circumstance on Wednesday, but no notice was taken of it. He moved some of the wood, being fearful of an accident, but the other men told him he made himself' more busy than necessary, and he therefore went about other business. He believed the wood had been placed there because some had been stolen. Mr. Evans had undertaken to pay the doctor's expenses. Thomas Cook, of 24, Iltook-street, Holborn, said, that hearing the houses hail fallen down, he proceeded to the sect, and offered every assistance in his power ; and being one of the beet Jury who had ;ondemned the houses down the court, he was competent to give directions what course to pursue. But Mr. Evans opposed every proposal he made, said that nothing should be done but what he dictated, or what a builder or surveyor directed ; and when witness advised that a window should be broken to take out the timber, Mr. Evans threatened to take him to need, or to throw a brick at his bead. About five o'clock in the evening, the body of , the elder Clancy was found. At dusk, the men raid they aid not I intend to work any more that night, as it was dangerous ; awl Mr. Evans ridiculed the idea of looking for Toomey, who, he said, was at home with his wife. The witness, however, and some other persons, hired several men, and returned to the spot. They were employed the whole night, and at three o'clock in the morning they found the bodies of the younger Clancy and of Toomey. Juror—Arc you of opinion that . Mr. Evans used proper means and proper attention to find the bodies ?—No, I am not; for had he and hia.men used proper exertions, the bodies might have been found soon after the accident occurred, and they might probably have been now in existence. The witness also said that the Iseet Jury had condemned the houses. Mr. Zachariah Finch, of Holborn, said he heard Mr. Cook re. quest Mr. Evans to have more men employed, but he said that there were as many men 'on the ruins as could well be employed, anti lie would admit none but carpenters or bricklayers. Witness looked at the building, and saw no more than eight men employed; although several offered their assistance. they were refused, al. though there was room for twenty, who were afterwards employed. Mr. Evans left the premises about half-past seven, and he and his men did not work after that time. Mr. John Lloyd, the acting overseer of the parish, said he went to the spot when lie heard of the accident, about ten o'clock at night, and having been told that fan bodies were in the ruins, he informed the parish surveyor of the circumstance, and twenty. one men were immediately set at work. It was by no means a hazardous undertaking, and they procured the men without any difficulty. They removed at least three wagon loads of timber before they found Tootney's body, which was about three in the morning. Ile was lying on his face with his arms extended. The body of the boy was found about an hour afterwards, and the doc tor said if they had got it out about two hours before, he could have been restored. A young man who had been employed by Alr. Holmes was next examined, and he said he thought there was no danger in removing the materials to find the bodies. The Foreman of the Jury said there could be no doubt that the deceased persons had lost their lives by the falling of the building.. The Jury were to consider how far Mr. Evans was deserving of censure for having placed a number of bricks on the floor, and also a large quantity of timber, which had occasioned them to fall down. They were also to take into consideration the fact of his baring refused to remain on the premises and search tbr the bodies, which could have been found if he and his men had used more diligence and attention. One of the Jury said, that he saw Mr. Evans on the spot at nine o'clock, and heard him ask for assistance, which he could not obtain. The overseen could procure men very readily. \%'m. Evans was then called, and he said that the fact of his being on the premises with his men was a convinring proof that he did not apprehend danger. lie was on the spot until nine o'clock at night, and then his men refused to work any longer. in fact they were so intoxicated, that from the dangerous state of the place it was unsafe to allow them to work; he applied for others, but could not get them. ,When Mr. Cook applied to him he was not aware who lie was; ahti when the application was made about the window, his men at that time had discovered one of the bodies, and if the window had been removed, in all probability the wall would have fallen upon them. The Jury, after hearing the preceding witnesses, took a view of the bodies, and after a short consultation returned the following verdict:—" The death of the deceased persona was occasioned by the falling down of part of two houses in-Spread Eagle-court ; and that their felling down was occasioned by negligently overloading the upper floor of one of the houses with timber, bricks, and rub. bish. And the Jury regret that the pers o n s em pl oye d in taking down those houses did not sufficiently persevere in rescuing the bodies pf two of the sufferers, it appearing in evidence to bare been probable that one, at least, of them, would have revived, if he had been sooner released." A Leet Jury assembled on Saturday afternoon, and condemned ; veal of the houses in the court. LAW NOricE.y. COURT OF CHANCERY. ntroac vics-cw•Ncat.t.Ok• CO.l'llth:9 bE HEARD 'NO-MORROW.

VICE•CHANCELLOR'S COURT, ia —ATURDAY, JAN. 23. WHITTON t. THE OAS LIOHT AND COEt COMPANY. Mr. iiART applied for leave to renew a motion on Tuesday In this cause which lie made yesterday ; and to do that without amending the bill, and making the trustees parties, agreeably to his Honour's intimation yesterday. Time plaintiff would have had nu difficulty in amending the bill, and making the trustees parties as suggested, had it been practicable ; but the fact was, there were no such trustees in the pansh of Camberwell as it was stated there were, in the sense in which the Court was in the habit of construing the word. An Act of Parliament was paned in the year 1778, afterwards amended in 1783, appointing seventy persons to be trustees for the purpose of raising certain sums of money, and doing certain different acts. Those trustees were to act as long only as they continued to reside in the parish, and therefore it was quite impracticable for any plaintiff to make such a number of persons defendants under such circumstances. The VICE.CHANCELLOIt said that Mr. Suplen was instructed to state there was a contract in this case made between his client and the trustees, and lithe plaintiff were to make the parties to the contract parties to the suit, that would answer the purpose. Mr. HART observed that that was a mere statement at the bar, unsupported by affidavit. The objection Mr. Sugden had taken had no other view than to evade the just interference of the Court. Mr. SUGUE X considered this a most tniustifiable assertion. The Vict-CIIANCELLOR said if Mr. Whitton was not in. Cannot in the COUTPC of the day orliO the individuals were that were parties to the contract, so as to enable him to amend his bill by Tuesday. making them parties to the suit, the Court would 11Pilr the application again on that day, and pronounce judgment with out regard to any circumstance but what then appeared before it. Mr. HAUT wan quite satisfied with this state of things. Mr. SUGDEX said he never heard a more improper statement thin Mr. Hart had thought proper to stand up and make oft' hand. Ilk clients were most respectable gentlemen t and if the plaintiff thought proper to take tltc trouble of applying to them, he had not a doubt that they would at ouce give him the names of the patties to the contract. Mr. HART wished to know if they could furnish him with a copy of the entire contract? Mr. SUDDEN was not at all prepared to say they would do any thing so unreasonable. Whatever was reasonable and just, that tbey would do. The VlcE.CnaxcYy.Lon said if the plaintiff wished to bare aeopy of the contract, he would bare to ask for that in his bill. Mr. HART said he would he content with the names of the trustees to the contract, and wished to know who Mr. Sugden's most respectable clients were. because Mr. Whitton did not know. He (lie. Hart) never knew Mr. Sugden have a client but who was the most respectable, though his adversary's was always just the other way. Mr. SUDDEN felt confident the Court knew that he never was in the habit of forming any such opinion or of making use of any such expressions. Mr. Hart's statement he treated, as it deserved, with contempt. 11'.s clients on this occasion were Messrs. Spence and Desborough. COURT OF KING'S ITMA SATURDAY, JAX. 21 THE LINO J. WILLIAM DOWNER. This was a vow warrant(' information against the defendant for exercising, without lawful authority, the office of a free burgess of the borough of Colchester. The defendant pleaded that he having been nominated by the Crown, in the charter granted to Colchester in the LS Geo. 111, to be one of the Common Councilmen, lie was by virtue of such nomination entitled to the rights, privileges, and immunities of a free burgess. although lie was not a free burgess previously to such nomination. The relator demurred to this plea; on the ground of its insufficiency. Jessor argued in favour of the demurrer. TY, contra, was stopped by the Court. 1 The COURT were clearly of opinion that the defendant having been nominated in the charter by the Crown, as a Common Coun. cllman, and having subsequently accepted the office, he wes, by necessary implication, entitled to all the privileges of a free bur. gees, and therefore judgment was given for the defendant.

BRADLEY. 31r. 31ARATAT ;;;;47:110110; ;111;11 4' 11; had made unsuc cessfully yesterday, for arresting the judgment in this case, which war an action by an innkeeper for slander, the words alleged to baee been used by the defendant concerning the plaintiff being - Ile is a bankrupt—he will be in the Gazette in twelve months— he is a pauper." 'rile ground of the motion was, that inasmuch as an innkeeper was not liable to the Bankrupt Laws, the words Lid and proved were not actionable; and the Learned Conned new cited a great many authorities from the older reporters in support of his argument. But The Cottar were clearly of opinion that as the words spoken had a tendency to injure the plaintiff in his temporal affairs, they were actionable; and Mr. Justice Bayley referred to a case in I Lord Raymond. 130, in which the words were, " Peal not with A It ; I tell you be is broken ; there is no entertainment for man or horse in his house ;^ and the Court held that these words being spoken of An innkeeper, were actionable.—Rule refused. CRIMINAL INFORMATION. Mr. CAMPRELL moved for a rule to show cootie why a criminal information should not be filed against the Mayor of Southampton, and certain Commissioners of the town and port of Southampton, for haring levied duties on the King's subjects, contrary to the provisions of two Acts of Parliament, ot• the 43d and aUth Geo. ll r, for making a dock, basin, and warehouses, tot the accommodation of shipping and goody brought into the port. It was alleged that the Comnwsioners were in the habit of exacting certain cares given by 'Nose Acts, although the purposes for which they were passed had not been carried into execution ; and that they continued to exact them, notwithstanding a decision agaiost them by this Court in two actions, brought in 1824, by Mr. Ward. a public.spitited inhabitant of Southampton. The Coultx inquired what ground there . was for supposing that the C'•otnmissooners acted corruptly ? Mr. CASI vncLt. tutlnitted, that if the Commissioners persisted in _taking duties, in t h e face of a decision of this Coon, and that they hail no right to do in point of kw, this was a snificient ground for an information. Mr. J ustice BAYLICY suggested,that probably the Commissioners were not satisfied with the decision of this Court, and wished to carry the question to a higher tribunal. The Loan Cuter J vSTICY. maid this Court would never sußv the construction of an Act of Parliament, respecting a civil matter, to be determined tluottitil . the medium of a criminal information.— There was aiminer door open to the parties interested, but this was certainly not a case for the sun:mai) , interpusition of the Court. Rule refused. THE NEW COURT. The leinD CtttEt•• JUSTICE announced that the Judges of this Court would take possession of the New Court in .IVesuuinster Bali an Tuesday next.

Mr. Sergeant Wt Int moved for a rule tb show cause ythy a de. fendant, whose name was not mentioned, should not be discharged front a-rest in this case, on the ground that the damages 'worn to were unliquidated. He stated that the ',tendons had promised the plaintiffs to become answerable for cools to be furnished to a third person to the amount of 2,01101., that sorb coals had been furnished, that the person in question had failed, and only paid a composition of four shillingv in the pound, lu consequence of which a sum of 1609/. now remained due, and for that sum the defendant had been arre•ttrt. The Cllirr A:l'ms was of' opinion that the damages here Tete as clearly ascertained as if the coals had been sold at a stipulated price to the defendants, and the rule was therefore refused. COURT OF BXCIIEQUER, SATURDAY, JAN. 23. TOE KING V. DEARE. Jn tills case an information bad been tiled against the defendant, Mr. Deere, calling upon him to produce the books upon which certain accounts were founded, which had passed the Office of the Secretary at War some 25 years ago. In the year 1623 the War Officer sent a notice to the defendant that his accounts of the ha. nark and Dumbarton Cavalry. and other regiments, while he was an army agent, had not proved satisfactory, and required him to furnish a fresh statement. This the defettlent complied with and upon re-examination of his books found that there was a balance of 5001. due to the Crown, which he paid. The officer, however, not satisfied with this, then demanded the ledger', and out of the refusal to grant them arose the present proceedings. The case was now brought before the Couu upon the considera tion of a big of exceptional and Mr. Joilw-Wirt.tasts argued at great length, and with consi derable power, upon the extreme hardship of compelling the pro duction of items of account after such a lapse of time, when all re collection must be almost extinguished, and when it must be im. possible to produce the vouchers which. the War-office never failed to require on such occasions. lie was proceeding to go further with the merits, when The CHIEF BARON eXpit".•ed liiinself doubtful of its being agreeable to the practice of the court to hear objections to the merits In the present stare of the proceedings. Mr. PtPYS was contending that the Court had permitt&l such a course, when 31r. for the Crown, consented to wave his title to the objection. The Coons. then ordered Mr. Williams to continue his toga ment on Friday next. COURT OF ARCHES, ,ATIIIDAY, JAN. r. Wore Sir JOHN NIICHOI.L, Keit.] SAV 'MERL V. DAVIS. delk. Upon the sitting of the Court this day to Register said he had received various documents put in on behalf of the Rev. David Griffith Davis, A. B. of Chalbury, in the diocese of Oxford, who had been put under suspension for three years, by order of the Court, in consequence of a charge of gross roisconduct made against him. The term of suspension had now expired, and, in compli. .trice with the order ofthe Court, Mr. D. G. Davis forwarded certi ficates from Samuel Nash, vicar of Easton. the Rev. W. Brown, chaplain of the county gaol, and another clergyman, who united in certifying that Mr. Davis had conducted himself with propriety during the term of his suspension. A notice was also put in, which had been publicly read in the chapel of Chedlington, palish of Chalbory, stating, that Mr. Davis intended to apply to the Court to absolve him from the sentence of suspension.. Sir JOHN NICIIOLL thought that Mr. Davis had compiled with the sentence of the Court, and that there could be no objection to let the stypension be taken off. The rroctor for Mr. Saunders. who had promoted the articles against Mr. Davis for gross misconduct, said that no notice had been given to Mr. Saunders of the application now made to the Court. Under these circumstances lie respectfully begged to sug gest, that the Court should defer making any order iu the case until the next sitting. Sir J. NICHOLL said that the notice of application having been read publicly in the church was, perhaps, sufficient; but there could be no objections to let the case stand over to the next day, with the understanding that, if no sufficient objection was then made, the suspension shoukl be taken otl. There being no other case on the books of the Court of Arches, Sir J. Nichol! desired, that the reading of the allegations in the cases of Dew v. Clarke, which is in progress in the Prerogative Court, should be commenced. The reading of these voluminous document, occupied the remainder of the day. EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF BANKRUPTCY. IN THE NATTER OF RICHARD DOUGLAS, alias 'acumen WD[ CLODE DOUGLAS, OF ?OODCOTE PARE, WEST RAKPNETT•_ IN THE COUNTY Or SUSSEX, A BANKRUPT. Saturday was appointed for the third examination of the bankrupt, who turns out to be the individual who, some short time since, was advertised in the newspapers for levying contributions upon the tradespeople in Westmoreland, Cumberland, Lancashire, War. wick, Leamington. Windermere, &c. &c. when travelling about in a very dashing sqle, with a carriage, attended by his man " John" in livery, a " Nurse," and a bliss Morgan, alias Owen, alias Wilson.

Mr. MONTAGU mentioned the names of about half a dorm ere. ditors, and added that they could not believe that " Richard Doug las. the coach proprietor," and " Richard William (lode Douglas, of Wooticote Park, West Ilatupnett, in the county of tiussex," were the self-same persons.

A young fellow, named Goodman, was brought before the Left Mayor. on Friday last. charged with having stolen watches to rb s value of upwards of 44101 . Coin the shop of Mr. Gram, at N 0. 74, Fleet-street. Mr. Grant's stuntman stated, that on the 18th of October last, the prisoner came, at V o'clock in the morning, in company with aaa. thee young man, and desired to see sonic watches. They did n ot pretend to make any purchase at that time, but next morning they came again at the same hour, and the prisoner's ernripanton selected a particular watch, and paid half a crown deposit upon it. Tnep l i„ wooer then asked to look atsome steel watch chains, winch were hun g in a corner of the shop. He was some moments in selecting the cult chain. On turning round the witness perceived that the priso n ., er's companion had disappeared ; the prisoner immediately followed him. The witness did not at the instant miss anything, but there had been lying on the counter a case about a foot and a half squo te , containing watches which had been taken out of the iron chest. This, in a minute after the disappearance of the two yo uk: men, he perceived was stolen. An immediate alarm was given, and a pursuit commenced, but the thieves got clear off Kith Citir wo witnesses, one a boy in Mr. Grant's service, the rehrfr sa errand-boy in the service of a next-door neighbour, identified the. prisoner. The first of those witnesses saw the two young n: ; enter his master's shop on the first morning : and the armor, whilst lie was cleaning his master's windows. observed two you'. men consulting together near the door, one of whom was the pr.'. wooer. The prisoner was silent, and he was fully committed for trial. Mr. (leant has not recovered any of the property. Some time after the robbery be received information in a certain way, that ha might have his watches back again at a bargain. The party who had offered to negotiate the business on.uted him that the present proprietors of the watches could get 21101. for them, but they hats thought it but fair that 31r. G. should have the preference, as he had possession of the articles before, and considerable interest had been made in his behalf; they therefore should let him take the whole lot for MOl., by which arrangement they made a cle ar sem i. five of SO/, as they could prove, if the peculiar circumstances of the case permitted. They were, it was stated to Mr. Gant, on their way abroad at the time this proposal was made, and if he did not de. tide immediately, it would be out of their power to do him any ser. vise. Mr. Grant at once rejected the o ff er made to him, and pre. ferred the alternative of making every sacrifice to that of reaigr.ing the chance of bringing the thieves to justice. The prisoner was known from the description given of him, and Daniel Fomenter, an excel. lent officer of the City establishment, asked a friend of his, who belonged to another office, to do him the favour to apprehend the prisoner or his companion, or both, if he met with them, as Thep were more in lii way. This was done as, as far as regarded the prisoner. We understood from Mr. Grant, that for eight or ten days before the robbery fellows in couples, who he has not the alighest doubt were thieves, came to his shop and priced various articles; he however suspected, and kept a sharp eye nett them. They were mostly dressed in a flashy style, but there were minute points, such as Linty finger" or coarse hands which formed a contrast to their new clothes, anti gavo intimation of the extant of their respectability. Shortly after he was robbed, his neighbour, 31r. Newman, berry, lost a piece of cloth or linen from his shop, at about eight or nine in the morning. The window of Mr. Hill, at No. 61, was est ashore time since. Miss Pettit, a neighbour, lost a pia of flannel from her shop, and Mrs. Itobinsoo, of No. 711, has several times been robbed in the evening, and so, Mr. Grant says, have others of his neighbours; neither have his customers escaped. Mr. Jur.. lice Burrough's pocket was picked of his spectacles and banker's book, in the middle of the day, in Fleet.street, about two months ago, but the thieves seeing the Learned Judge's name in the beds, which had nothing else valuable in/ it, wrapped it up neatly in a brown paper parcel, and sent it by a ticket porter to his house in Badtbrd.row, where he was presented with it on his return home, A lady, who is a customer of Mr. Grant, was robbed in Fleet. street, some time ago, while she was in the midst of a awwd caked &y the women of the town ; she lost upon the occasion 1001. HATTON-GARDEN, • On Saturday a young fellow named Edward Parrrll, wanting on crushes, was examined on a charge of aggravated assault on ;if r. 'rhos. Creme, to whom he had been apprenticed about nine month 3. It appeared from Mr. Crane's evidence that he wait formerly a tailor fin considerable business in Joseph-street, near the Niw. road, but has latterly been in embarrassed circumstances. He had been residing for some days on a visit at a friend's in Thornaugh. street, lledford-square. On Monday morning last the prisoner called on him, and asked for a little money, which he was obliged to refuse him, being himself in want of some. The art. Amer afterwards asked for breakfast, which Mr. Crane also denied him, on account of his inability to supply him with any. The prisoner itunmliately struck him with a large pair of shears on the left cheek bone, and inflicted a wound of two inches deep. Mr. Crane, from the violence of the blow, staggered senseless against a table, bleeding profusely. The prisoner attempted to escape, hut wes prevented. The prisoner laughed in the most unconcerned manner,repeating that he was sorry he had not done his business for him, and that lie hoped he should yet. Elizabeth Appleby, wife of John Appleby, whom 111 r. Crane wars visiting, stated that she heard the blow given to Mr. Crane. On her taxing the prisoner with the cruelty of the act, and pointing to the blood that dropped from Mr. Crane, he said the drops gave him more satisfaction than as many sovereigns. Llnyd, a police officer, who searched the prisoner, said he fouril on him a large steel awl. The prisoner sajd it was a pity to take is from him, for it was a fine thing; that he was sorry the blips , li gave Mr. Crane was not higher, and that he hoped his right barn! might be cut off and given to the dogs if he would not yet be the death of him. Mr. LAINO asked the prisoner what he had to say for himrelf ? He replied, with the utmost indifference, that he had nothing more to ray than what he had often before repeated, that, on the most mature consideration, he was sorry the blow had not been fatal, and that be hoped he would yet have it in his power to be the death of him. Mr. LAINO, who appeared shocked and surprised at the old blooded determination of the Prisoner, inquired if any thing par ticular had of late been observed in his conduct ? He was in formed that there xas not, but that the young man was in great distress. Mr. LAING said he should take a few days to consider whether the prisoner should not be committed for the capital offence, rather than for an assault, and directed the medical gentlemen who dressed the wound, and some other material witaesses, to be sum moned for a future day. The prisoner was then remanded. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. .. Our readers vedaree;;;lentem;;;theL;tlAWwhich was lately committed on the property of Mrs. Lemb, in Henry-street, Ham; - stead-road.

OUTRAGE IN BROWN'S-LAN E.—On Saturday, Jaws 1.1-x:on, brother to Edward Lawson, who fortified his house against die entrance of the officers of justice, and who resisted the police in the execution of an assault warrant, was brought before S. Tw TIMM, Esq., the presiding Magistrate, for further examination. Mr. TWYFOUD directed the Clerk to take the depositions ot all the witnesses respecting this act of resistance to legal authority. Mr. Graham, the head constable, and all the officers, were swora and examined; and the depositions were taken at great length, de- I tailing the whole of what we stated on a former days Mr. Tw - rr•oan observed that he was anxious to ascertain it there was sufficient ground to permit this prisoner to be at on bail. It appeared, however, from the evidence of Hanley, that he ad mitted he had taken a part in what he called protecting his brother. Hanley said, " After the wall was broken down, and we had leaped Into the premises, Edward Laws m cried out toe: he surrendered. James Lawson was behind him, close to the steps of the dwelling-house door. Close to the right hand diatribes Lawson there was a pike against the wall ; it ass • short handled pike, and I observed it was blomiy. I said to James Lawson, this is a villanous weapon ; you must be • villain to make use of it. He said, ' I had a right,' or' I consider I had a right to protect my brother.' " After this evidence, the worthy Magistrate considered it his duty to remand the prisoner to the House of Correction till a future day, when he and his brother are to undergo another exa mination.
