This list was di-1 laded into two districts of netward and westward, as usual, the vane including claims and drafts upon persona hi the City di,- tact, and the other comprehending those at the west end of I town.

It would be for the JuryLsual d = defendateseffed not manifested se* a want of • disregard to the notices served upon them, as to 1111*- pletrly liable under all the circumstances of this case. The following evidance was then adduced. Mr. Charles Oebbins, a clerk of Messrs. Snow, Paul, and Co., On the 7th of September, 1824, a dividend warrant was paid into their bank by Mr. Lake for 1,3791. ss• lld. There was also a check paid in by a Mr. Collins, drawn by Mr. Curtis upon Sir Richard Carr Glyn and Co. for 1,3751. 51. 9d., and another check he bill. It is the practice of the plaintiffs' house to make up every t' evening a list of the collections to be made next day, and to divide them into two districts, east and west. All these orders were in the eastern district, and they were given to the porter, John James, on oho fhb of September, the regular collecting clerk being ill, in seder that they might be collected. He is now dead. He re turned about one or two o'clock on the Bth of September, bringing back no bank-notes, but some gold and silver, which he had in his breeches pocket. On the back of the 501. Bank of England note now produced there is written, " Remington, 8-9," which meant the Bth of the 9th month, in John James's hand-writing. On James coming into the plaintiffs bank, he appeared very much agitated, and showed his pocket to witness, which had been cut. Oi'itness was here about to stole what John James told him, but this was objected to, as not being evidence.) Mr. Tatham, a clerk in the Bank of England, proved that he paid the dividend warrant above alluded to, on the Bth September, for 1,3971. fn. ltd. The hundred pound note now produced to the witness was one of the notes paid on that dividend warrant. It is No. 12,959 dated Aug 23. 1824. A clerk in the house of Glyn and Co. paid Mr. • Curtis's check of :94/. by a 2001. note, No. 5,087, dated 19th Aug. 1824. It is the practice of the witness's house always to enter the numbers and dates of notes lo any considerable amount, in a book kept for that purpose. A clerk in the house of Messrs. Remington, Stevenson, and Co., bankers, proved that on the 11th of September, 1824, he paid a 501. " A HUNGRY GHOST. note upon the cheque for WI., No. 11.929, 2d August, 1821. " Norwich, Oct. 24.

A very foolish attempt, under the disguise of a ghost, has been made during the last fortnight, to alarm a re spectable family, residing on Orford-hill, Norwich. The parties have been both day and night disturbed by noises, and voices telling them to read their Bible, &c. ; and great numbers of persons have been attracted to the spot, in hopes of hearing or seeing the ghost, and to try to dis cover the trick ; but to no purpose, till Srturclay night, when Martin, the Sheriff's officer, searched the premises, and discovered that a boy had entered by some means, from the adjoining house, which was unoccupied, and, in concert witn some one of the family, had succeeded in remaining till then undiscovered. We sincerely hope the Magistrates will make him sulfa for his fun.—Bury Gazette. A letter from Norwich gives the following account of this silly affair:— i rPt BRITISti PRESS. whether this act trod doss from milk% and in coneediehel Nei previous quarrel, or wheel* it was done In a pas.' excited by the provocation given at tbe moment.

They said they mold not tell him, as they took no particular* during the race week, on amount Of their establishment being so email, and the boldness being then so great. Witness then produced to them the 1011. motet they de. vied all knowledge of it, and did not know they bad peld it to Mr. Goodrich. Witness did not know at that time that the 501. note had passed through their hands, but no aftenrards ascertaining that fact, he went again to the defendants' back, and showed it to Mr. Tew, who acknowledged it had Wen paid to Mr. Taylor. but did not know from whom it had been received, as egotist also have been received during the race week. Samuel Taunton, a Bow-street calker, left seine of the hand bill,' advertising the hiss at the defendants' bank, at Doncaster, on the 20th September, IBM, which war the first day of the races. He called at the defendants' alter the rams to know if any of the notes had been paid in, but was told they had not. They knew what witness was, as 14 has been in the Wit of going to Doncaster ' Ant seven years past. A great Deny bad characters go to Doncaster ISOM Croft-examined by the Cotonou Scassinwr—Witness was at Doncaster races in 1823, and called at the defendants' bank to get cash, but did not tell them that these notes had not been recovered. Dlr. Bastin stated that he went with Me. Goodrich to the defend ants on the Saturday in the race week, 1885, and my bite receive a 1001. note among others. Cross-ersmined by Mr. PARZ—The great betting-day is the St. liege day at Doncaster; and the ssstbog day for het° "'"e " that race is the next day. barge sums of men are then paid and received. This being the plaintiffs' case, The SOL 1C1T01.6 EN EIR.U. submitted that, es so the 2001. and the lOU. notes, there was no proof that they bed over been paid to the porter, who was alleged to have Mew robbed. if robbed at ell, he might have been robbed of the cheques and the dividend, and then the plaintiffs could not ham such a property in the notes paid for those securities as would give' Qum a right to bring the present action of trover. The Cater Jun? len then called tip Mr. OnMins spin, who stated that John James, the porter, when he exhibited his cost cut to the winless, paid him elides iiviedellit phiesef, the several sums he was to have collected, in gold, silver. and halfpence, which he had preserved on account of their befog In hit breeches pocket. and they amounted to 281. Itts. 7d. Jan James was an old servant, aged sixty. The CHIEF JUST IC t refused belfillegt, ei9lltEr that dal* last piece of evidence left it for tke Jury to dside whether John Tames was not robbed after he had got all the money into his posseision. The SOLICIT° it.OEft am. then @Admired the Jury on the part of the defendants. It welcher that die plaiudisked lost all the money in question in consequent@ of their own eaellieNOMS, for they bad intrusted this large snot to a helpless el* mos of sixty years of tackwho was incapable of takin meg of the 'tepee! whet at ed. Next, they had not given g the delandants due and proper notice. They had only advertised to them the ens they had ear mined during the rates in 11124, and it was dear that so such notes had been presented to the defesidanntat that time. In the third place. it was to be fairly presumed by defendants that the lost SSW had been recovered, because Tasman, the Dow-street Mese, who had originally given them neske v visited their banking-house at she races in 1825, and never said a word about the notes in quie tism In the fourth and last place, the plaintiffs bad not famished M the defendants an accurate description of the stolen property, because they had alleged in ibis maim thatthe lost 2001. note was dated the 9th of August, where's it was dated the 19th of August. The beamed Counsel submitted, an these grounds, that the de bates* were not responsible, because he would show that they had gime the value of she notes in question when they received them. Mr. Senior, a clerk in the defendant's bank. then proved they course of business. It wis not their habit to ask gentlemen travelling to York or Edinburgh, oi thence to !Ando°, any parti culars when they got a Mate Bank of England note cashed, but they entered such note, 'strange gentleman." In the daily trans mama, however, they did ask diver, bat at race times it was *- possible, as there was not time. Cross-examined—At rasa times she banking hoofs were from half-past nine in the moaning until one o'clock, and then the clerks had liberty to go to the races. The Cashier of the dotendant's bank was then tailed, and proved that the value of the notes% question had been given for than, as the accounts were Wafted and found correct This witness elm proved the custom of the *attestants not to ask_pankulses, stalest of suspicious persons, remeeting large Bank of England notes. Two other country bankers' clerks proved a similar custom in the banks in the north. Mr. George Dyer, a clerk In the Bank of England, proved Shit it was poni.We for two 2001.

Mr. HORACE Twice and Mr. Marts conducted the case far the Crown; and Mr. ALLEY and Mr. C. PHILLIPS fur the defence. Mr. /Insect Twigs addressed the Jpry. The circumstances of the case were shortly these. In March last the Bussorah sailed from Madras for England, having on board Lieutenant Kenny and Mr. Robert Charlton.

Those feebiw which the prisoner had this day manifested the possession of limed prevent a recurrence of the offence with which he was charged, and it renisined for him (Lord Stowell) only to pronounce the seetesee of the Court, taking into consideration all the circumstances of the case: it was, " That Lieutenant Kenny should pay a fine of )dL to she King, and be imprisoned until it was paid.
