Mr. Turman stated the ease, and said the par. ties were both natives of Bandon, in Ireland, and they were also relations, the Plaintiff being nephew of the Defendant ; they had given a joint ;nouns wry note to a third person Inc 101. which the Plaintiff discharged: the Plaintiff's signing it was merely to accommodate the Defendant : this he would prove by a witeess who heard the Defendant acknowledge that he was indebted to the Plaintiff in the sum mentioned in the declara tion ; and that he was also indebted to the Plaintiff in the sum of 51. 9.1. I Id. for a piece of potato'. ground which he had rented. The transaction took place in Ireland, in 1806, from which time the De fendant had resided in this country. Hi would prose the Defendant's acknowledgment of the thin, which would entitle the Plaintiff to a verdict. John Scott deposed, that he was the proprietor of a public-house at Bandon, in Ireland. in the year laOli: the Plaintiff and the Defendant came into his houreto settle their accounts. and the Defendant acknowledged that he was iitl.bted to the Plaintiff in the sum set forth in the declaration. NIT. PARKE addressed the Jury, u Counsel for the Defendant. Lord Et.t.sisnottouein summed up the evidence, and observed. it was very singular that this action should be brought in this country ; Rirticularly so, as the rent for the potatoe-ground caul I have been recovered by a very simple process in Ireland. It appeared strange that • tianaaction which took place in law. in Ireland, ahould he hrosight in the Court of King's Bench in London iu 1810, and supported by • witness who has nothing but his memory to mild him. without any memorandum.

This was an action brought to recover a sum o f money alleged to have been expended he the PI lin ed. in the purchase of necessaries for the use of Defendant's wife. .Mr. Serjeatit [ltal., in atatiig the case , observed. he was extremely sorry that such an action should have been toronght into Court.

As the D4rodins had, however, thought fit to permit the action too proceed thus far. it became the bosiacta of the'iury to deri d e. upon it. The Plaintiff was a Professionsl Geotlernsii, end had, et ditf.rent times. advanced sums of money to the wife of the Defendant, to prevent her literally from stero.itte. Part of the sums laid in the declaration had been paid to a nurse to wait on the unfortunate VT0113411 when she was ill; and part had been expended in redeeming her furniture. which had been distrain ed for rent. The Defendant was an actor at one of the n'inter Theatre* in this metropolis; and his professional exertions brought him in a salary of fire guineas per week. independent of this, be. onjnyted the roam-, of a freehold estate, which he had obtained by his marriage with the very woman who hail been thus consigned to presort. lir would not detain the Court anal Jury by expatiating on the ease, boot would proceed to cool hr witness.* to prove the dotTereut SMUG illeatioued in the declare. lion.

Mr. Slrieent thought I had made myself sufficiently understood—hat I will ■gain state. that part of the money expended was actually given to the servant to go out and bay bread for the Defendant's wife." Mr. Serjeent Snromeno, for the Defendant, ob served. that Mrs. Marshall had been separated from her husband these 26 years—and that the rlatotiff, who was • relation of Mrs. Marshall, knowing thr state of Mr. Nlarslislri circumstances. bra brought the preacnt action.

When men, however, had placed themselves in public situatians, it was competent for soy gentleman to deliver his sentiments upon their public conduct. The first charge to which he should allude, was an alleged " Corobiaatioe of the Peerage to dictate to the County a proper Re. presentative."

Another circorua stance to which he Omelet allude. was. the cacti• deuce of success expressed by Sir Wm. Guise. He was of opinion Sir William dusty believed he pot. sessed the majority he boasted, for his respeet4bis . lily repelled th e idea that he would otherwit.e mated it.
