On Fri day (the day after UM nomination) Mr. Childe's friends held a meeting. at which it was voted. by a majoeity, that lie should commence a poll.

On Thursday evening, after the nomination, se veral of Mr. Chililt's friends had a dinner provided for them at the Castle Inn, Mardol ; so had many of Mr. Pelham's friends. Forty gentlemen free holdery partisans of Mr. Pelham, provided a din ner fi# themselves at the Britannia tuu ; and several spirited partisans invited many friends of the same candidate to entertainments at various inns, and who made themselves merry and proclaimed their triumph. But there is not the slightest truth iii the sulky assertion which has been published, that any " apprehension of tumult was entertained ;" nor any ground for the inaendo that " entertain. men's" were given by Mr. Pelham as a reward for, or " in connexion with, previous riot and disturb ance." He also pens such inuendues knows their falsehood. We ourselves regret, and are willing to express the strongest censure, that the endeavours of Mr. Pelham and his respectable friends could not obtain for the opposing party a quiet hearing (the diaappoititment was, doubtless, as great to the one candidate and his immediate friends as to the other and his friends); still it will be argued that the combination couimeticed with Mr. Childe stud a few of his party; and if the people refused him, es a candidate. a fair hearing, his politics au a Re presentative are considered by many as excluding them from a fair hearing in a wore important place. —(Shrewsbury Chronicle.)

The amiable young lady, whose loss her @filleted father and family have now to deplore, was, it appears, subject to epileptic a t. tack., and the probability is, that iii walking neat the edge of the river she had been seized with a fit, and fell into the stream.

YAK INftiLlbEfiCal VICE CHANCIILLORII COUR+. SATURDAY, aovsstaxa 4!. ZI-AlatE ouismaab, IN THE HATTER of HOWARD AND • Mr. HORNE moved that un action which had been directed by hi. Honour, to try wbeilirr a this: of 32,0.18/., which vas claimed by Mr. Grim teed to be due to him from the bankrupt's, was founded in usury, might be tried in the form of an issue, instead of an action; and the ground of the •ppli• cation was, that in the sctiosi Gibbs, the bawk• up , , *Mild be the IlJefendant ; sod, as he was &recta to be examined, his evidence in support of Mr, Grinistead's dedaind would completely establish i i, to the prejudiced the re-t of the creditors who Opposed helieiriti it to have ariseni out of tr....- actions in which Gibbs and Grithatersd were equally ithphcated. Mr. TREILOTE supported the motion. Mr. HART, Mr. BELL, and Mr. Morcesoutt op posed it. 'fire VicesCß•ottELLoft staled, that the very extraordinory orcunisiances of this case had ert tautly made on irupression on his mind. %%hit h lifts just as fresh as when be forrnetly hiurd the petition : he had the subject as fully he fore him now as hr had the.. This ass a case in which Mr. Grim-stead prayed that. be might be at liberty to prove • certain large debt, whieis lie had unsuccessfully claimed before the Cnnttntsa sioners: the amount of the debt was 32,0Q8/. The debt was opposed by the creditors, on the grotto I. that it had been formed in usury. The Court had thought it its duty not only to hear elaborate argu ments on the subject, ltu to examine all the ac counts.. On the result of the arguments, and the examination of the accounts, the Court formed ars opinion unfavourable to Mr. Grun•tead'a claim ; but the opinion of the Court wus never, unless the case was tO.) clear to admit of doubt, coosidertd us decisive. It always , wi‘e to the party an oppor tunity of trying that which was matter of fact and law; and it was, therefore, lie conceived it, his duty to aflord him an opportunity o: goirg to a Court of Law. lie had givett this &notion, with out regard to the former proceedings, oidermg, to the ordinary course, that Mr. Grimstead shs u'd bring bis action agaii s the banktutits, slid that the commission of batiltriryitcy should not be set up to defeat it. This would hate given Mr. Grimstead un opportunity of trying whether guy debt existed which he could itelairo. This mode had beets adopted as a mere matter of course. It now torn d out, that that which was the usual form of ptocern ing was not applicable to the care, and that the usual form would n o t decide that question which it was the object of the Court to send to a Jury ; for the action being brought against the butakrupto, as if there had been no bankruptcy, the admission of 4 thit the debt was a just one, would hay. the effect of establtshin‘ it as against the creditor' Now the question was, whether Gibbs bud tiot beet f ibric t tog a debt with Grinstead, in order to de fraud the ereditove gad, as under an action irs )1 the usual form, Us, labi would be called upon to give evidence, the force of his tlatimony must have ; I • great wt ight with the Jury its favour of the tiff. The eeclaration at Gibbs in or out of Coast would have been decisive evidence heir the Plaintiff —the charge being. that tie Plailitiff as, a et)I• federate with Giblet, a mode of trial which writ: d give such an effects to Cithb.'s rvideoce would be subversive of jusvce. This objection did wet occur to any owe et the pinto ; but Y . iii • i it was owed to hie, two days br ibe trial was to have taken plate, it forced ors hi. mind, sod lie could not avoid seeing, that if the drial had proceeded in the form directed, it would be • mere mockery—of necessity therefore he could . not permit the trial t 3 proceed in that form. The question was, in what form it ought to he tried with • view to the attainment of bobenoti4l justice.— There was souther .form which would avoid' every iticonvenieuce. lie should order an issue to try whether the bankrupts were indebted to Grim, stead ; in such case the bankrupts would not be parted, and their evidence ould not be evidence decisive for the Pfindiflegkey might be called us witnesses; foe not being parties to the record, they,,. would be coeplietent. It had been suggested, that the, they, Court ought itfdtrect that Gibbs should be examined. Why should this Court direct that which the Corr' of law would direct if required ? Gibbs would be a competent winless, and the Pleintiff might call hon if he pleased. It would be altogether new for him to give such a direction; and byte) novel a proceeding he should throw i e prejudice around the esintha of the Jury. Whatever obvervatinns were made by the Court, if they did not conclude the question, they ought not to prejudice it.
