The question being whether, on all the facts f the case. the plain tiff bad not deprived himself of the right of recovering by his con. ttalment of the forgery. • The Coull7 took time to consider a question which they stated II be of nn entirely novel kind, involving points of considerable tfillicelty and importance. 'On this day their Loyd hips said the ease had been very well w elled. but they conceived It to be of such importance, that they prefer hating it re-argued nest Teruo, when tie Court would be full. 'The Cot Arr rose at about one o'clock, and the Chief Justice troceedcd to London to try Nisi Pi les eases. airs I: e. YAW IIAWDAV• M r•Want YAWL:IIAM stated, that this was an action brought by the plaintiff to receiver compensation for a lengthened imprison. opera ahieh he had auffercd through tilt misconduct of the defend. ant, an attorney. The plaintiff had been the subject of an ee. non ionimenced by a man named Fowler, for a debt of 251., iii wrOich a Mr. Prior, the plaintiff's attorney, bad undertaken to give it cognoyit, but had failed re perform his undertaking. present defendant, in his character of Fowlsr's atiorney, thin mewed fur and obtained an attachment of contempt against Prior, and emceed up juelgment against Rose, whom he took in ilecution in Sept. 11122. Negotiations were canted 011 with Van Sandau fur the liberation of these parties, and a bill for 601. was of tered and refund, Van Sandau insisting that all incidental ex pense., should be paid. In llee. 11112. the parties came to an ar dtvganient. liv which Van Sendai' agreed to take an approved bill for 851. and rii discharge both Prior and Rose. This bill baying been given, Van Sandau sent the two discharges, and l'rior oh. lined his liberation. But as Rost was confined in another prison ( Whltecross-street), and as the keeper of that prison was not at ritininred with Van Sandau's hand-writing, he sent an officer from tin secondaries' office to ascertain whether the authority for Rose's rnste4arge had really been given by Van Sandau. The validity of the disc/tinge was acknowledged, but the words " upon "etymon sifthe p lege" were interlined in the order, and on being taken back to the prison, the keeper refused to discharge lime, rxettpt upon compliance with that condition. Now, io the execution ice. sued agsinst Re.: was an exenition against his person and not his goods, Van Sandau was properly liable to the payment of the poundage, independently of which it would be proved, that Van Sendan had accepted the &lA. bill in payment of the debts, cost., I.^d all incidental expenses. In consequence of this alteration tit Pie order, Rise was detained in custody till the 28th of Feb., when lie ebtained his discharge by paying the poundage fees, and he now lihned compensation lithe bands of the Jury, for the additional imprisorment of 87 days which he had suffered, in consequence of this breach of Van Sandau's agreement. The case for the plain tiff would he shortly proved, and he should then call on the Jury door /inch temperate damages as the nature of the case required. A jetlguient, and a warrant of execution indorsed to levy Id'. 12s. ant then put in. The keeper of Whitecross-street prison proved, that the plain tit! came into his custody in September, lied, alid was liberated in fehruary„ 1821 Illy.

Eighty pounds were to lie given by an apmovail bill ; a first bill was offered and refused ; a second, offer some deliberation, was accepted by the defendant, who, how. ever, said, its amount must he made up to B.W. to rover all inc .

The order of discharge, dated 30th December, was then read, and the plaintiff's cake rinsed, 'Mr. Sergeant PELL addressed the Jury for the defendant. This win a stngular case, and had been singularly conducted. Why had not the plaintiff' called Prior to chew the nature of the trans action ? Why had be relied alone on the testimony of Lewis, nicest he might have strengthened it by Prior's evidence ? Lewis's ateldence however, would be contradicted. It would be ',hewn that it Was pat of the original agreement that the poandage should be paid by the plaintiff Rose. That Lewis, at least, was mistaken, was proved by his statement that Ice received the order of din. drake when he gave the bill for 85/. Now they were of different dates, pfd consequently :acid not have been transferrttl from one nettle °threat the same time. And what was this Mr. Watson. the acceptor ? Itquiries had been made after him, and he multi not bd pound at Iterkeley.square, the address given on the tare of the bill ; and no doubt could be entertained that this bill had been paid rarely for the purpose of the present action. If the Jury should think the plainntrentided to their verdict. he entreated them not to Mie thrplaintiff damages for all the time he remained In person, as lit:might have obtained his discharge either by paying the pod ntlaFe, o-'if the ease was really an he wished it to be believed, by going bellati • Judge at (lumbers. That he had not done so was pre. rut:toiler proof of the weakness of his present claim, and seemed to thi opinion that this action had been resorted to for the our poke of leltubursing himself for the debt and costs of the suit in which he had been taken in execution. . . Mr Al'. Nl'Daniell, a clerk to the defendant, swore that the terms at tir‘t ofi'mcd of agreement for the plaintiff's liberation were the n:vi-g of a bikl for OM.

The bill stmeil, that plaintiff was the Rector of the perish of St. flare, regularly, formally, and legally 'inducted. The defendant lived within the Rectory, at 23, Crutched-friars, 111141 had nut made the required payments since March, 11W. The defendant refused to pay the , demand on various grounds, especially because the agreement I made by the Archbishop nf Canterbury was not enrolled a. the law retjuired • and because different customs hail been long known to most in the parish of St. ()lave upon the subject of tidie. This was the substance of the plaintiff's bill. The defendant demurred to the entire: and in consequence of this demurrer, the matter came to be argued befo:e the Court. In support of the demurrer. the CO lIMON SM•GEANT main tained that the plaintiff advanced claims in tlifell different shapes. rot only inconsistent nith, but destructive of each other. lie did not rely much on the quantum of tithe, as regulated by the law of the land. but he seemed to depend upon s o me ancient rule, which, according to the averment of the plaintiff. gave him a right and title to 2s. ltd. in the pound front the inhabitants of his rectory. Ile first supported his right by the Statute 37tit of Ilenry the kaghtli. This, he maintained, gave him a right to 2a. ltd. in the pound ; and even if his title by this Act was weak and had, he would produce a still older, which gave him a right to 35. ; and in case of failure in both these attempts, he advanced a thirst right by particular cus tom, to another sum. The quemMii in the lint case wes, which of three three claims established a modus. Thin was yet perfectly uncertain, and was a matter for antiquarian speculation. It was incumbent upon the Rector to make out a fixed and specific title. This he was bound to do, and then the defendant would , knew the ground upon which he stood. Ile would know what tide he should admit, and Oolitic against which he deemed it advisable to struggle. The three claims at preterit advanced by the plain. rill's were incompatible with, and destructive of, each other. For obese reasons the defendant had demurred, and would persevere in his demurrer until the Rector haul stated his par.ictilar right, and mentioned the particular made of chum upon which lie intended to rely. This choice must be made, this selection must be taken, be fore it was necessary for the defendant to answer the Rector's bill. Until the platntifi made his specific, and accurate, and defined claim, and advanced it in the Court. it was the duty and privilege of the defendant to demur, and by dustmen* protect himself from the enormous and unnecessary expense which a vague and inde terminate defence must entail oil him. There was another mode reword to in the bill, which he sulintitual must be fatal to it. The Rector had set up an alternative claim : this was of itself a novel proceeding ; it had never occurred to him in the course of his peat. tire. In addition to the novelty of these alternate claims, they were inconsistent with, and destructive of, each other. In the case of "Harrigan amt !loge," alder:try question, where the property in certain books claimed by one of the parties was evaded. the t'emurrer was allowed by the Court, because the alle gation,' , contained in the bill were inconsistent with each other. In the case of " Ki.tgleon t'. White and others," in which insurances were effected on five vessels, the 4101111,Tel' TAW allowed, because the pleadings in the original were multi. rations. How mach yawner, therefore, ought the slenuirrir he el. lowed in the present atm, where the allegations in the Bill were not only multifarious but inconsistent and incompatible. The case of the Attorney.lieneral a'jsinst she Corporation of Caruarthen, for the misapplication and abuse of certain charities, was also in point. 'Fhe demurrer was supported because the allegations were multi. furious, contntry to the rule t.f pleadine, and because claims were made on taunts destructive of each other. The situation of the defendant. in the present action, was peculiarly disagreeable. It was to the last nfl ammable to require of him to point oat to the plsintiff wlitree %i of the three counts it. Ida Bill was the best to act upon. The ground taken by the Rector was not distinct or defined. Ile was bound to make sonic certain proposition, and then his client would hare the opportuaity of meeting him. The plaintiff' was to come forward with a certain claim, and with on accurately defined title. The defentli.nt was wit bound to moist hint in the making out of his case. Mr. Baron the Ait Au said the plaintiff's cilia' was clear and do. he claimed as Rector. The Cosmos StagraNT said lie was not therefore entitled to tithe by common law. 11r. Itsron llrt.t.oca said, he had not the right by common law; he might by custom. The Coirsiox It(IEAN T thought he should assert his usage. Mr. Baran Llaaitair said,the Rector, in his bill, put forward tbe amount of his usage. The Commox-SEacEaxT said, he would take the liberty of reminding the Court, that the mode in which this wax done was one of the grounds upon which the demurrer was moved. The manner in which the Rector claimed was threefold; this involved thr defendant in a great and eiromiuus expense, which would not be the case Wane title was put forth. In the second of Vesey, jun. a demurrer was sustained upon the plea of multifarious counts. The pinintirs claim was alternate; how was it possible to meet such a claim ? The plaintiff could have but one right; upon this he was to stand or fall; why then should he be allowed to advance thr.' if the plaintiff' had, as in the present case, alleged three rights, two of them must be clearly unfounded. The Loan CHI Er 14110 N—if your argument be correct, and admitted to the extent to which you wish to carry it, would not the result he, that the plaintiff would be enabled to tile three distinct and separate bills, and maintain in each bill his distinct and sepa rate right? The Cox stow—SERGEANT was ready to admit that such may be the me; but the Court would also recollect, that the defendant need, upon principles of equity, reply but to one of the three. This was, lie said, his argument in support of the demurrer. lie rejoiced to find he would be followed by other Learned Gentlemen, who would do greater justice to the argument than he could. Mr. AnEat Bostic concurred in the arguments of the Conn. mon Sergeant. It was the practice of all Courts to allow a de ' murrer when a claim was not specific. Mr. Baron UaAllA3l was of opinion, that the Rector was, by construction of law, entitled to tithe when the amount was decided upon trial by the ordinary proofs. Mr. Row E followed Mr. Abercromby in defence of the de- RIUITVT. 3lr. MARTIN, in support of the bill, wished to know upon what principle the demurrer was brought into Court. The Cit 'Et. ItAit N said, the chief objection seemed to be that the bill was multifarious. MARTIN 'would deny the bill was multifarious; it could not be impeached upon this account. The plaintiff simply states, he is entitled to a certain sum in the pound in the parish of which lie was Rector. The demand was made, and the nght grounded upon a decree or stipulation passed in the reign of Henry VIII. In answer to this plain and simple claim, the defendant endeavours to maintain, that the decree not being enrolled, it was productive of no advantage or benefit to the plaintiff. It would, however, be proved upon trial, when this demurrer was, as he knew it would be, disallowed, that the decree was acted upon as it it were en rolled, until the defendant thought proper to refuse the payment and demur to the Rector's bill. In the demurrer much was alleged and asserted which was not allowable in a Court of Equity. The jilkitntitra claim was simple; it was not multifarious; tithes were due to hint by several of his parishioners, and his only question was, 110 W he should support Isis claim. The bouts tuner LAaaN said there was no occasion fur pro ceeding farther. The Court was unanimous in its opinion against the de rev. There was nothing multifarious attach*! le to the allegations in the Rector's bill; it was perfectly tree from any defect of the kind. The plaintiffmaile his claim for tithes under the Act of Parliansent by which these titles were regulated • it was under the Act. the demand whether right or wrong was ;lade. It was the decided opiaion of the Court that it would be a violation of all the rules of equity to allow this demurrer, and therefore it could nut be sustained. 111 r. Gaanam coincided with the Chief Baron. His Lordship acknowledged the ingenuity by which it was attempted to sustain the demurrer, but, itt hts opinion, this ingenuity was wasted, as tic original bill was not in the least affected or weakened by the rises cited in support of the demurrer; it was scarcely necessary for Idol to state, that when a plaintiff came into a Court of Equity hie title must be clear and without impeachment; this was the ease in Lir twiner 1 dime the court. Plaintiff rested his claim upon an Act of Parliament ; in stipport of this he referred to the decree of the 3;tli Ilen.V I 11. This Act gives, it was admitted, the Rector some thing. Ile acts to the beat of his judgment under this decree, and lie supposes that obedience to his Act, and the fulfilment of its blibb•:rinns on the part of his parishioners, was equivalent to an enrolment. It was under this conception the Rector had made his claim, and he made it in a Court of Equity. as it could not be supposed at common law. The claim was therefore properly made. The bill should be allowed, and the demurrer was not maintainable. The other Barons were of the same opinion. Time was then applied for by. anti granted to, the defendant, to put in an answer; eonsequeptly the ease will be tried on its merits. 71IE ARMY.

POLICE. MANSlON•lifferffE CONAPIRACY To DEFILIIUD.—(hr Saturday Jahn List, Chas. Saunders, and Checks Bolton, three young men of respectable ap pearance, were brought before the Lord Mayor, charged by Mr. Shea, a merchant of Laurence rountney-lane, with having Con. spired to defraud bun of between five and six thousand pounds. Mr. Slwa stated, that he had authorised Bolton, who was hls clerk, to accept bills of a certain description, in the name of the how.e. Bolton was not to accept any bills but those which were eardeolarized. No suspicion was entertained of the Integrity of Bolton until one of the bids wart brought to the house for pay. ),(..n:. This bill was, we understand, drawn by one of the pri soner., all of whom were engaged with one Richardson, who is not Set apprehended. Bolton listened to the proposal to accept it in the name of his employers, and it was calculated that the money which could be raised on another bill of a larger amount might be applied to liquidate the first that became due, and so on, until the catastrophe approached, when the extent of the freed would burst upon the house, and the conspirators would have so opportunity of , chiding justice. The first bill was, however, dishoooured, and thus an almost complete check was given to the deception. One of the City Marshals. and John Forrester, the officer, having received infonnation tiom Mr. Shea, that his clerk had absconded, after having accepted a bill which was of no value, and which he had no autho—ty to meddle with. apprcheaded the prisoner. It was then ascertained that a great number of bills had been accepted by . Bolton, in the name of the firm of Shea and and that some of the bills had been drawn by List, some by Saunders and some by Richardson. The whole amount was estimated at between 5,11001. and 6,0101. (If those Richardson had drawn five bills to the amount of 2,201 e. Richardson is, we understand, a prisoner eon. fined fur debt, and, of course, a detaieer had been lodged against him. Ile had put those bills into the bands of an attorney, who is prientier confined in the same prison, for the purpose of getting them discounted, and that gentleman very industriously went upon 'Change fur that purpose ; but before he had got them cashed the game was up, and the Marshal soon succeeded in getting hold of the acceptances. The attorney was very unwilling to give up the bills, and when he raw the determination of the Marshal to get possession of them, he proposed that at least he might be permitted to obliterate the name of Mr. Richardson, in order that that fientlentan might be relieved from any personal responsibility. It is needless to observe that the Marshal refused to listen to hay conditions. ..... We understand that no more than Irk/. has been obtained by the four persons engaged in this scandalous fraud. Bolton asserts that he wits induced by List to accept the bilk upon the assurance that he (List) woul.l, upon marrying an heiress, an event which was soon about to take piece, pay every penny of the money. In !het, Bolton seemed to expect it. for when the first bill came due and was presented, lie was in Mr. Shea's office, and requested that the person who presented it would he so good as to let it Ile over Mr a couple of days, after which an arrangement should take place. The proposal (an extraordinary one coming from so respectable a house) was inmsediately agreed to, but when the period elapsed tOr which the b.ll was to be held over, and the bill was again pre sented, the clerk absented himself, and Mr, Shea, to his astonish. ment, found himself responsible for a sum of money for which he neither had received nor expected to receive value. Ile refused to pity the amount, in the apprehension that his consent to take up the bill would involve him in the responsibility for other bills. accepted under similar circumstances. Law proceedings were then resorted to, and Mr. rhea was obliged to give bail for the amount. 31r. Is.vc appeared for the prosecution, and requested that the prisoners should be back to prison until they could procure Ind to the antount of 20111. Mr. Hata an, the Sidteitor fur the prisoners, stated, that bail should be forthcoming numediately. The Lout) M AVOS consented, and the prisoners were committed in default of bail. GUILDHALL.

Lucy Dixon sworn.—l am day-nurse in the accident ward at Guy's Hospital ; I remember Mr. Gregory being brought there on the 21 of May ; I heard that lie had been stabbed by his eldest son ; but he never told me the cause of the wound from fint to last ; when I asked him how he did, he shook his head, but made no answer ; he never expressed to me his apprehension that be should not mom. Ann Constable sworn.-1 am nightmurse of the accident-ward at Guy's Hospital. I attended the deceased at night, during the time he was in the Hospital. On the fourth day after he entered, in the course of the morning, he told me that he had been ruptured for 33 years. Ile raised himself up in bed, and said, "It will go greatly in the boy's favour that he did not take up the knife, intending at the time to raise it against me." I r e pli e d, " G oo d Heaven ! that all this should have taken place about a bit of bread and butter." .... Mr. LEE x—Did you mention this observation of the deceased's to any one ? iVitness--Ves, to Mrs. Dixon, the day-nurse. Mr. ALLEN—Did Mr. Gregory ever express to you that he was in extreme danger ? Witness—lie never did. Mr. A rt.r.x—Was he sensible to the time of his death ? Witness--Yes, Sir, to the last, and said nothing more than I have stated. lklr. 'Rowley, the master of ths prisoner. said he called to see the deceased when he lay ill in the hospital ; on asking him how he did, lie cod that he had had a bad night, and wished to see his boys, W illiain and John; for if he had such another night, he was leorful he should not be able to speak to then. The deceased also I did nut feel that I had received a wound till some time afterwards, and I discovered it by lowing the use of my left side and leg. I an sure poor GeorFe is in much trouble, and if I recover, I hope and trust he will make amends fur what he has done." Mr. ALI. E w—l understand that it is not uncommon fur a person receiving a flesh wound and a blow at the same time, to be uncon. 'dais of the injury till some time afters anis. Mr. Alirrin, the surgeon of the Hospital, said it was not an un counnon circumstance. 111 r. A 1. I.F.N paid, that he remembered that an attempt was made to assassinate the late Captain Paget, when at Constantinople, by a men who struck it him with a large-bladed knife ; the Captain put out his arm to save his body ; and the assassin, after giving hint a violent blow, ran off.
