This was an action bought by the imiguers, under the ennsmiroion issued and awarded apinst the Portsmouth Mink, to recover from the Dr. reorient the sum of 3.4611. 3.. yd. the balance of amount due from the Defendant to the Bank. The defence to the action wag e that the commission under which the Plaintiffs were appointed assignees was not a valid cnmmi ' on two grounds: first, that the petitioning creditor', Messrs. Mastering!), Peters, Mildred. and Co. had no debt due to them at the date of the commission which could consti tute a legal petitioning creditor's debt; ■nd second, that the baiskruptcv hail been preconcerted between the petitioning creditors and the bankrupts. Mr. Sesjeant Pim), opened the case for the Plain tiffs, and stated the minim' of whet was afterwards proved ; that an art of bankruptcy had been com mitted in London by Mr. Mincl ) i ee e and by Mr. Carter and Mr. Kelly in the country ; the first by a denial at his then place of residence, and the ah ►condtng, tiling the word in the legal, and not in the off-iisive sense, by the partners in the country. Ile ►tatedl that the house of Masteries's,' and Co. on which the Portsmouth Bank drew, were, as might naturally he expected, in considerable advance to the house, and that, there-fore, lit►le d ou b t cou ld b e entertained that there was a valid petitioning credi tor's debt. With respect to the other point of the bankruptcy having been preconcerted with the itetiiioning creditor. the Jury would he satisfied that no imputation of that description had any foun dation; and with respect to the only remaining fl ew. non, the liability of the Defendant, that was equally clear. Henry Brtoint, the first witness, proved the ext.. cotton of • mortgage deed fur upwards of 30,000/. by Messrs. Minchin, Carter, and Kelly, dated the fith or June, 1618 ; end, together with other wit nesses who were its the hate Batik at Portsmouth, and its the house of Masterman and Co. in London, and in the lionies of die Notaries, proved the non payment of several hills to a considerable amount, which bad been endorsed over to Masterman's, and dishonoured by the acceptors when due; and also several drafts, which had been drawn upon the losse , e of Nlasterman and Co. by the Portsmouth Bank, which became due and payable o► or about the time of the bankruptcy. and which of course had been duly honoured. There was also proof of an excise draft for upwards of 14,0001. drawn by the poeismouth flank. having been presented to Messrs. Nlusterrnan and Co. and refused by them. Witnesses were then examined to prove the acts of bankruptcy. Mrs. Bowers, who keeps • lodging-house in Howard-street, Strand, proved that lodgings had been taken fur it gentleman who was called M►. Forster, but who in fret was Mr. Minchin. Persona called there, but she could not say what their busi ness was. He was only there one night. Mr. Briggs, the solicitor to the commission, stated another act of Mr. M.'s absenting himself. Martin Shrill, the younger, also deposed to Mr. Minchin's directing himself to be denied, and of persons calling to ask for him. A post-boy, at Potties, proved the hiring of a chaise at one or two in the morning of the 10th of November, the slay on which the commission issued, and that he drove Mr. Carter and Mr. Kelly to Petersfield ; and the servants of those gentlemen proved, that they had left home early on the morn ing of the 10th, and that they did not return for ■ considerable time afterwards.—The next witnesses proved, that the banking-houses were not opened on the morning of the 10th, nor afterwards, and that persons came to demand pay ment for notes.— Tile last point made wa•, that of notice having beets given to the Defendants, calling upon them for pay meta. Mr. CASBERD, on the part of the Defendant, with a considerable degree of warmth and energy, opeued the defence, and contended, that the corn. miomon could not stand for a moment, inasmuch as the Jury could entertain no doubt, upon hearing the evidence which he should adduce, that the petition. ing creditors were privy to this concerted act of bankruptcy; and, therefore, though the Court of Chancery bud held that a concerted set on the part of the Bankrupts, would not invalidate a commis sion. yet, with the privity of the peitioning tor. such commission could not ►tend for an instant. Mr. Thomas Minchin, the younger, the son of one of the bankrupts, remembers striking the docket ; was acquainted and banked at the house of Master man and Co.; Mr. Mildred was a partner ; his father came to town on Monday, the 9th of Novem ber, with notes and bills to the amount of 115,000% to cover the excise draft of 14,000/. but was told that it had been refused acceptance on the Sata►- dsy, and therefore it would be too late to attempt to maintain the credit of the Portsmouth house. Mr. Mildred expressed himself ready to do whatever the Mr. Minchins II ght advisable; but con. crived that nothing could save the creditors gene rally from the consequences of expected extents but a bankruptcy; to accomplish which, he gave direc. bons to the witness to sue out a commission, and to find cot acts of bankruptcy in the best way he could. The witness immediate ly proceeded to Portsmouth, and advised Messrs. Carter and Kelly immediately to proceed to London, in order to avoid the cciansequences of the extents upon their persons. Witt this advice they complied, and went off as described. The witness also directed the managing desk at Portsmouth to get persons to demand pay ment of notes, in order that • stoppage of pay. mem might be established. The witness said, that he had no other than general directions from M. Mildred, and that Mr. Alildred had never since been informed of what had been done. Ibis direc tion, were to take out the commission, but no par. bailer orders were given, nor was there any privity on the part of Mr. Mildred. Mr. Serjeant PILL, in reply, contended, that it was impmsible so respectahle ■ house as tiled of Mortensen and Co. who had so little issterest, and no other desire than that of serving the Portsmouth house, could have ititendell to have been parties to soy illegal proceedings. They supposed front the known insolvency of the parties, that acts of bank. ruptcy oust base been already committed, and, therefore, that it only wee to follow up► those acts of bankruptcy for the general benefit of tl►e creditors. Mr. Ba►on thulium, in summing up. took off all blame from the house of Masterm■u and Co. but that of inadvertency. The question for the Jury to consider was, whether the directions given by Mr. Mildred to Mr. Minchin. jun. did not make them responsible for his acts, and made him so corn. pletely their agent that they could not free them selves from the consequences. The Learned Judge praised the manner ►n which Mr. Mnichin. jun. gave his evidence, and took • luminous view of the whole case, but chiefly directed the attentiou of the Jury to the above point. The Jury retired, and subsequently followed the Judge to his lodgings. where they were celled in several times before they could settle the verdict, which at last was given for the Defendant. The commission is thus virtually done away. The trial lasted till a very late hour, and the Court was excessively ,rowded. CROWN SIDE. Wm. Bateman was put to the bar, charged with having, on the 13th day of May last, at the pariah of Hurstborn Tarrant, assaulted Win. Wallis, and fr. lonioui.ly taken front his renew, sgaiwit his will, nines of the Bank of EtiKlaud and country batik notes, to the amount of 99/. Mr. Pollen, Oil the part of the prosecution, stated it to be one of the most serious and anxious duties that had ever devolved on I,im, to lay the particu lars of this case before a Jury in such a manlier as should at the same time answer the ends of Justice, and communicate to theta and the Court those feelings of compassion and pity which not only the peculiar circumstances of the case call ed for, but which the humanity of the Prosecu tor bade him most earnestly invoke at their hands. The Prisoner was an officer in the navy : he is yet very young, barely twenty-four, of respectable con nexions. Although armed with a pistol, a threat appeared to be the only weapon lie bail recourse to; nor hail any violence marked his conduct throughout the unfortunate circumstances he was about to detail, except the first sad act, which, in its consequences, hail been the means of plac ing him at the bar to-day. On the I3th of May last the Prosecutor, Mr. Wallis, who lives at Forest, near Andover, in returning from Newbury home wards, had occasion to pass through Dagley wood, where he met the Prisoner as he was walking by the side of his gig up • hill, close by Hurst born Tarrant. The Prisoner, who was coming down the hill, on meeting Mr. Wal lis, presented a pistol at Isis breast, and said he must have his money or his life. The Prosecu tor made some resistance, but finding hint so ear nest lie gave him a part of the notes which lie hail about hint. The Prisoner, however, seeing that he had more with him, loaned on his giving up the whole, exclaiming, that he was oe distressed man. He then told the Prosecutor, who had delivered to him, oil his vehement entreaty, all the money shout him, amounting to 991 in batik notes of duff ..ent kinds, that he should go on, u.od that he would find his horse and gig at the bottom. At the desire of the Prosecutor, however, he consented that he should proceed in the gig him self, mid upon his arrival at home the Prosecutor gave the alarm to Henry Lickman, • 'tryout of his, who stool afterwards went in pursuit of the robber, whom he was enabled to trace to Basing stoke the same evening. On his arrival it the Crown Inn there, lie found that a person answering the description his master had given had arrived there, and was retired to rest. Lickman imme diately went to the door of the hid-room, and knocked at it. The Pri 1111 l er asked who was dicta ? Lickman said, " I nand something in your room." The Prisoner pretended lie could lint unlock it. Lickman instantly broke it open. The Prisoner was standing by the bed, with his hands behind hint. Lickman saw a pistol in one if them, and seized it; the Prisoner immediately gave it op to him. To the question, if he was the person who had robbed Mr. %YAW, the Prisoner replied, " I sin the mats, there is the property ;" at the same time, pointing to the pillow of the bed, under which, and in his pocket, were found all the notes missiiig, except a fraction of the change of a IL note, which he had laid out in some trifling purchase. These facts were most satisfactorily proved by Mr. Wallis and his servant. For the Prisoner, several very respectable wit. nesses deposed to the honesty of leis general charac ter, which, indeed, seemed 'lever to have been im peached before this u n hap p y traiisuction ; to leis great professional merit, which, unassisted by any extrinsic support, had raised him to the situation of master's mate ; to some late dreadful visitation of distress; to his sobriety, mildness, and civility. Even his Prosecutor most humanely addressed him. self to the mercy of the Court in his favour. The Learned Judge shortly addressed the Jury, who immediately found the Prisoner guilty. but strongly recommended him to mercy, a prayer which they were assured by the Berich should not be un attended to. John Wilkinson. charged with breaking open the dwelling-bowie of Mr. Albiu. of Partied, was for merly a carpenter in the navy. He had worked fur the Prosecutor, who went from home, leaving the bank notes, gold, and silver in his secretary : Prisoner entered the premi•es by cutting a pannel out of the door, and broke open the secretary ; he took away with the money, a boiled tongue mid' sonic bread and cheese; went to the Blue Anchor, Paalagrove, called for some beer and tea. and eat part of the tongue. Prozeeded thence in a cart to Portchester and Crocker Hill ; the carter saw him the nest day, when he told him, if he would take him back, he would show bins where he had hid some incioey, in a bank under Portselown-hill: he returned with him next day, and went to the spot. where he discovered a bag of silver—it may be 301. worth. Prisoner told the carter he had been carpenter of a ship. and had ►aved money in his youth. to take care of him iu his old age. Poisoner was apprehended at Brighton, and in his box was the bag and pen of the money he stole, and work log tools, which corresponded with the holes made in the door, and secretary at 31r. house.-- The Prisoner iu his defence said he was innocent. accused some of the witnesses of perjury. and con ducted loitwelf in a very violent manner. He was one of the Prisoners sentenced to suffer death. Hannah Lucas, aged 49, sentenced to seveu years traosportatiou, fur stealing a cap and utekerchief, was servant to the Pivaeetitoe's OddiisotheV. She stole, besides the articles stated, five guineas in gold, out of • boil, and which she had paid away. at Salisbviry, before she was apprehended. J. W. Rood was charged with having used fire arms in the parish of Porters; and therewith causing the death of Robert Gilchrist. The circumstances of this were as follow Rood was sitting, after dinner, in conversation with Mr. Pink, 'satins, and Mr. Pink, junior, when Mr. Gil. christ, a Mau whose eccentric good-natured tem per constantly tempted persons known to him, to make play with him, approached the premises. Rood having just loaded a piste's!, and, shaking it, remarked, the hall rattled. Pink. jun. said. " Here comes Gill,. frighten him, Mr. Rood ; give him • benefit"—a term used to mercy a fro licsome intention. Rood instantly sprang from his chair, ran to the window, and unscrewed the barrel of the pistol, which he knocked seise. ral times against the window-ledge to extract the bullet, and which he supposed he had done, from seeing something of the same size fall ; but which subsequently proved to be only a piece of earth from a flower-pot, which was stand ing on the window-ledge. Rood was in the act of firing out of the window, when Pink, jun said, " Not there, Mr. Rood ; he is come in now" (meaning that Gilchrist hail entered the premises by a gateway lead ing to the cou oting-house).—Pink, sen. said, " Here. Gilly, Gilly !"—" Stop, stop," said Rood (in • laughing good-natured tone). " let me frighten hint first," and immediately as Gilchrist passed the door, he pulled the trigger, which snapped, and Rood remarked, " what a foolish thing this is. it is not worth a farthing."—Pink, junior, said, " Is the ball out ?"—" Yes," was the reply, and, pointing to the window-ledge, said. " there it is." The ball, however, had not been heat out of the pistol as was supposed. but was fired from it. and passing through Gilchrist's body, he died in shout half an hour afterwards. When blood was disco vered, Rood said, it could not have been him who had hurt him, for the bullet was out, mid. running to the window, said, here it is, when. to his great grief and disappointment, he saw that it was a clod of earth had fallen, which he had supposed to be • ball. when lie struck the window with the pistol. He ex claimed " 0 God, what have I done !" and became so sigoilized awl distracted. that two persons with difficulty could prevent him doing himself per sonal injury. The Jury returned a verdict of Gailly.—He was sentenced to be imprisoned one week, and fined Is. The business of the Assizes ended on Friday m • ig, in passing sentence of Death on the fifteen prisoners capitally convicted. The Judge told them he should spare their lives; and he would deal thus candidly with them, that others may abstain from similar offences, as it was his iiitention, if this lenity had not the effect of stopping the in creasing offences of housebreaking in the day time, and of sherp-stesling, at the next Assizes, if he came this Circuit, to leave such offenders to the extreme sentence of the law, as the property of the farmer was left unprotected, except by the law, sod so was the house of the labourer. HERTFORD ASSIZES. The Home Circuit commenced here on Wednes. rimy, before the Hon. Mr. Justice Palk, on the Civil side, and the lion. 1114ron G mot', ou the Crown side.

Williams Pius, for • burglary in the dwelling-house of Dimling HoMaga worth, at Cottered, in this county ; and Rickard Boyford and ✓uha Dickenson. for a like offence, at Braughin. They - were humanely urged by the Learned Judge to retract their plea", but they obstinately persisted in declaring their guilt, upon which sen tence of death was immediately paused upon them, in a very impresri►e manner, and no hopes of mercy were held wit, the wretched convicts being men of desperate and abandoned habits. %Sanaa l.ilbe►t, alias Downey.
