M twelve o'clock Mr. BROUGHAM and Mr. DENMAN entered the Court, dressed in new silk gowns, and in full wigs, and took their seats in the Ent row behind the bar. The CHIRP JUSTICE immediately addressed them as follows: " Mr. BROUGHAM, you having reported to me that her Majesty the Quiets has been graciously pleased to appoint you her MAJESTY'S ArroittiET.- GENERAL, you will take your place within the bar with the rank which belongs to you." Mr. BROUGHAM immediately took his place within the Bar, and made his obeisance to the Court. The Gentlemen of the Bar rose as he entered. The CHIEF JUSTICE then addressed Mr. DEN MAN—" You having reported to me that her Ma jesty the QUEEN has been graciously pleased to appoint you her Majesty's Solicitor-General, you will take your place within the bar with the rank which belongs to you." Mr. DENMAN Immediately took his place within the Bar, paid his obeisance to the Court, and re ceived the same mark of respect from the Gentle men of the Bar, as the Queen's Attorney-General. They were severally asked by the Court if they hail any thing to move? and after replying in the negative, the Learned Gentlemen both withdrew. LLOYD F. EDWAkDS. Mr. D. Por.t.oc• moved for a rule to chew cause why the Defendant, an Attorney of the Court. car rying on business at Oswestry, should not deliver into the hands of another solicitor, to be named by the Plaintiff, the articles of apprenticeship, by which the latter had been bound to him, and such portion of the fee paid on that account as to the Court should seem proper. It appeared from the Plein tiff's affidavit, that he had paid a fee of 5001. to the Defendant, and had been articled to him in due form. After having served a considerable time of his clerkship, he went one morning to the office as he had been accustomed, and found it locked against him. The next morning. and the morning after that. he was also excluded ; upon which he wrote a note to Mr. Edwards, desiring so explanation of his conduct. He received an answer in the Welsh language from that Gentleman, informing him that the reason of his exclusion was his not having been at the office at a proper hour 011 r certain morning mentioned, arid that he should not be admitted any more. The Plaintiff afterwards made • demand in writing of his articles and • portion of the fee, but the other party refused to do either, saying, he would reserve himself for the discussion of the question in • court of law. The Court granted the rule Nisi. CHALLENGE. SIR FRANCIS HOLYOKE V. FRANCIS HOLYOKE, AND HENRY HOLYOKE. Mr. JARYIS moved fur a rule to skew cause why a criminal information should not he tiled against the Defendants on the following facts set forth in the affidavit of his client : Some time since the first of the D-fendants was examined as a witness on a to isl. on the warranty of a horse at Stafford, in which the Plaintiff was toter rated. The evidence which he gave on that occasion drew forth the following observation afterwards from the deponent —" I was sorry when you used the word thought, it almost choked you." This did not appear to excite tiny angry feelings at the time. but the deponent some ' afterwards being in the town of Wolverhampton, was addressed by the second Defeudant, who told him that he had the honour of being the bearer of a letter from his bro ther, which he delivered. ft ran nearly in the fol lowing terms:—" The expressions you have used of rogue—robbed me of 4001.—sod that the word thought nearly choked me, require explanation. My brother, a Lieutenant in the army, waits on you for that purpose—otherwise you will please to appoint with loin • time and place to meet me," 4. and (as the deponent believed was added) give me satisfaction."

Mr. H. Holyoke upon that raised his hand in a threat ening mariner, and exclaimed aloud in the public street, where the conversation had been held, "You are a blackguard. and • d—d coward ;" repeating the smite expressions in another part of the town, at a very short distance. lie also wished to leave • written paper, for the purpose of posting the De. !indent at, an inn, but ; sberioni 7 keeper would not receive it. Other facts werandst forth in the affidavit. with • view to phew that the parties had continued 011 good terms for some time after the first offensive words had been used. The CHIEF JUSTICE gave the opinion of the Court. that this was a more fit case for a Grand Jury. unless in the mean time tome comma friend should interpose between the partin. The application was therefore not acceded to. REIPONSIBILITY OF ATTORNEYS. SHORT H. MICARTHY. This action was tried before the Chief Justice at the last sittings at Guildhall, and a verdict given for else Plaintiff. but a ease had bees ramrod use the Stature of 'Limitations. Mr. SCARLIITY stow moved for a rule to spew cause why the verdict *herald net be set aside. and a pea ' wit entered. The onus et actinn originated is S• , , supposed bequest of property to a Mrs. Shawl, It at old lady of near po years of age. The property consisted of 7001. a sum alleged to be vested in the 5 per cent. stocks, in the mime of the last per s.% and a will making the disposition described, was found lei Doctors! Commons. Mrs. Shand was desirous to sell the reversionary interest us the stock, sod a Mr. Huitt4ltiss, with whom she lived av servant, undertook to conduct the bargain. The Plaintiff being informed of the inteotion to sell the reversion. such given to understand that the proprie tor could not survive more than a few months, agreed to purchase it at 3401. hut before paying the money, he employed the Defendant, an my, to prepare the deeds, aid " to see that all was right." Mr. Hodgkiss. on bring consulted by the Defendant, stated, that he kiwi, nothing concerning the property except from the will. A clerk of the Defendant's writ to the Bat►k to in. veatigate the fact of the existence of the stock, but he would not be permitted to examine the books. But the contract was completed, and the money paid under the Defendant'a directions. This took place in the year 1812 ; and in the year 1818. it was discovered that the imagined stock had no exist ence. acid that the old lady was still living. The Plaintiff brought leis action against Mr. M'Carthy to recover his losses. and obtained a verdict. The Learned Counsel supported his present ap plication on the Statute of Limitations, on which he said he had relied at the trial as a good bar to the action, and referred to the case of Bitty.. Faulk ner, where that statute had been held to be a good plea. It had occurred to him, he said, on read ing over the evidence, that there existed a second ground fur setting aside the verdict, viz. that the first cutout in the declaration had been wholly un supported by soy evidence produced. It set forth that the Plaintiff had employed the Defendant to see whether that sum of 5001. 5 per cruet. stock was standing to the honk.; whereas the evidence went merely to the fact of the Defendant's bring em ployed to prepare the deeds ■nnd ate that all was right. The CHM JUSTICE asked whether that was not an agreement to du every thing proper in the trans. action ? At the trial lee had said, that where an attorney was employed generally to see that all was right, and neglected to de so. he became answer- i able for the cuu•equences. He thought he had left that point to the Jury, but with so strong an ex presaion of his own ()pluton as almost to amount to a direction. 'flee Cotta? granted the rule on the ground of the a pplic a bility of the Statute of Limitations. • V Intl If''" ..~ y Mt LONDON anA D JCR? AND my STATE PRISONERS.

The consequence might be very serious if they were ad mitted, because the prisoners might make a rush, and by it attempt an e.cape. He (the Common Serjetint) was confident from Mr. Brown's general good character, that he could toot have any inten tion to insult the Grand Jury, he was only doing that which he conceived, and perhaps eery pro perly, to be his duty. He (the Common Serjeant) could not therefore nay, that the Grand Jury had a right of admission. The Foreman observed, with great submission and deferesoce, that as the Grand Jury they had a right to inspect every part of the gaol of Newgate. Mr. Common Serjeaut—Are you Magistrates, Gentlemen ? Foreman—No, I am not; but I claim my right as one of the Grand Jury. The Common Serjearit observed, that the ques tion was not before the Court, and he could not give them an authority to visit those places. Jury—We claim it as a right. Mr. Common Serjeaut—Mr. Brown has • most awful responsibility placed upon him. ' Mr. Brown—My Lord, I only refused the Gen tlemen admission into the places su winch the State Prisoners are Confloed. Mr. Sub-Sheriff 'Turner—Mr. Sheriff Rothwell. my Lord, has been consulted upon the subject, and he has given his full concurrence to what Mr. Brown has done. Foreman of the Jury—We beg leave most re- apectfully to protest against the power exercised by the Court. Mr. Common Serjeant—Well, Gentlemen, the question is not before the Court. If Mr. Brown has acted wrongly or improperly, you have your remedy ; you can try the question. The Foreman said they should do so, sod with drew. The Jory proceeded to inspect Newgate most minutely. but were slot permitted to ruler the places in which the State Prisoners are confined. Shortly after seven o'clock they entered the Court, and made the following presentment, which wee reed by Mr. Clarke, the Deputy Clerk of Ar- reigns " The Lourdes Grated Jury respectfully beg leave to pre sent to the Court, that, is their opinion, the alarming in. crease of crime is the Metropolis, especially amongst the juvenile offewdemts so be chiefly attributed to she wry nem. dequate state of Newgate Paws, for the purpose of climatal; the prisoners according to their various degrees of rennin'. lily; shies boys and girls, who may have beet committed fur some slight misdenseariurs, are forced to associate with the basest andrnost hardened Mous, and are coisseqsestly re. tensed upon society (whey the periods of their imprison. meat are passed) in possession of all the theory of the most practised offroders.

The Grand Jour `had tin such right ; in that, therefore, they were mistaken. It was a custom which from time to time had been al lowed; but be'denied that ally such right existed, Or that 'the 'Grand Jury ought to interfere.
