Yesterday being the first day of Michaelmas Term, the Judges met in Westminster Hall with the usual ceremonies ; after which they repaired to their respeCtive Courts, where the usual business of the Term commenced. • !ORGILL V. MACHAMARA. The eirenmstances of this case we have already laid at great length before our readers. Mr. Foe snartou e. on the part of the Defendant, Mr. Macnamara, applied to the Court for further time to except of the Master's Report. The SOLICITOR-Gee es AL. for the Plaintiff, said, he never had heard of such an application, for which there were no grounds whatever. Mr. Teo m ',sort said, the Solicitor for the Plaint iff had intimated that be would not oppose the ap. plicatioe. The So Li c tt oa-G minim, answered, all he wished was, that no unnecessary delay should take place; a great many excuses had already been made to keep the party from obtaining final justice. It therefore would not be justice to his Client to con sent to this application Miss Purcell, althoujgh there was 26,a001. due to her by this Defendant. had not sic-pence to subsist on, and was obliged to take refuge within the Rules of the King's Benefi t to prevent her from being thrown into agaol. The MASTLR had made up his Repoli previous to the long vacation, and Mr. Macnamara Lad ample time to take his exceptions to it. Ar the same time, he had no obieetinn to the master standing over a few days, upon payment of costs, and provided the exceptions were tiled instanter. The LORD CHANCELLOR observed, that lie was quite sure no man ever said more justice to his client than Mr. Fonblanque. But the Court had laid down certain titles, by which it must abide ; and, if he was to entertain such an application as the present, it must be on some foundation. The Master's report has been ready since the last vaca• tion and Mr. Macnamara might be prepared'with his exceptions by this tape. The defendant WAS then permitted to file his ee ceptions this day, and the cause was appointed to come on for hearing in the course of the term. —.—......---- COURT OF RING'S BENCH, WESTMINSTER —Nov. 6 . This being the first day of Term, the proper Officer made the usual return, upon oath, of the se veral conviets under sentence of tranepqrtaticm, on board the hulks, at Portsmouth, Woolwich, /cc setting forth, that they were all in perfect health, and kept to hard labour at His Mejesty's works, and de prived of the use of spirituous liquors, except in a medicinal way. The motions before the flee were all matters of course, and of no public interest. Mr. Peers moved for a writ of flobrur Corpus. to bring up the body of Grow Whits, now a pri soner in the Gaol of Guildford, in the county of Surrey. The affidavit upnq which this application was grounded, stated, that White, being a freeman of the town of Guildf• rd, had attended at the Heating' on the oath sad liitth ult. for the purpose of sly% his vote far General Norton ; but the crowd eo great, he was obliged to come away witl.eat wilin g bra pur pose . On the evening of the Mb, while drink in g Kitt tea with his wife, a man 'of the name o William Russell, whom he knew to be attached to the interest of the other Candidate, George Home Sumner, Esq. came into iris room, accompanied by two men, who appte handed hitu as a deserter fro,u the `2d Surrey Mi litia. He st..ted, that be never was in the Militia, except when he was drawn as a Supplementary, and then be served his $1 dais, according to the Mt. - He was then brought to the house of the Rev. Dr. Weller, a Magistrate of the county, who being from home, he wa- carried tour miles farther, before another Magistrate, whom the Learned Counsel declined to name, and who also was absent; he was then taken before another Magistrate, six miles from Guildford; and from thence back to Guild -fold, to a public-hoase, where the Committee th Mr. Sumner met ; there he was questioned by Mr. Senallfield, who was the well known agent of Mr Sumner ; and, finally, he was again brought before the Magistrate, whom the Learned Counsel de clined to name, and wai committed to the gaol of Guildford. ' He further stated, that the eleetipn closed on the following day ; and ha verily believed he was detained a prisoner for the express purpose of preventing him from giving his vote at such eleaion. The Warrant of Commitment Wes also tlefeetive; it was not direeted to any particular gaoler or constaule ; nor did it set frit th what crime or offence the Prisoner was charged with. Lord ELLINDOROUGH said, the Court could not altogether discharge this person, until they should ascertain what offence he was guilty of ; but granted the Writ of /fakes Cole., and a Writ of Certiorari, to bring the depesitions taken before the'Magistrate before the COWL. PO /../(:/;'. ow-ST RICIT. in consequence of the variety of mischief and ac cidents that have taken place on the 4:6 of Novem ber, and other days of rejoicing, by the letting off of fire-works in the public sweets, by startling horses, frightening pregnant ! women, arc. the Magistrates very propetly issued a pri!claniation against such praCtices on Wednesday, and cited the alts of Par liament by which such condu.2 was punishable, as well as for selling fire-works. In the evening, the patrele were ordered to appre hend all those they found offending, and in the course of the evening, they apprehended sis tncn and ten boys. Four cf the men were FespeaAble cbaisaers, and had every appearance of gentlemen, and the other twn were labouring men. Mr. OR au Wu very properly reprobated their eon dad, and told them they ought to be ashamed . of themselves, in being the authors of such disorderly conduit as t4rowing squibs at persons who were quietly passing along the streets, and thought this a strange way of rejoicing, by annoying and fright ening people. The worthy Magistrate therefore conviCted them in the full penalty of twenty shil- Rings, which the young &shuts paid, and appeared ashamed of their conduCt. Thai, conviaion afforded universal satisfadion to I Crowded: Court ; Oct no small degree of Mirth I for when they left the,Otice, a universal laugh was raised at their expence. The two labouring men " were obliged to send to their friends before they could raise the wind. Half the convidion money gees to the poor of the parish, and. the other half to the apprehenders. Mr. Ga A tl a rt, after keeping the boys under most horrible alarm of being imprisoned in a dark hole, for upwards of an hour, discha gstd them, with a proper can ic's not being found offending again. Some of them were extrernly alarmed at the thought of being imprisoned in a 14,4 hale, and being run away with the haigodlins, and heeler their tars ale ty rats, and their grief was increased by their tieing sure of likewise being punished at home. Frederick timitk, alias Green, alias St. Jahn, whom we stated was in custody nu a charge of robbing Mr. Thomas Bartlett. of James-sum:. in the Cont. mercial-toad, of 6071. underwent a second exami nation. Our readers will recolleft we stated, that the Prosecutor and his wife were separated. and that the Prisoner bad pretended he could bring about a reconciliation ; that they went together to Itonsgate, where the Prosecutor's 'Rite was at Cap tain Patterson's ; the Prisoner pretended he saw her, and that he knew a litimale servant at Captain Patterson's, who would assist hint in endeavouring to prevail upon her to return to iiye with her husband. The Prosecutor's wile attended, and denied that the Prisoner had ever made any application to her to retina to her liesbarsi, of that theta was such a female servant, as the Prisoner described, in Captain Patterson's family. Michael Kelly. who keeps the Welch Harp public-house, in Peter -street, 'Soho, said, he recol leCted the Prisoner and the Prosecutor coming to his house, in a coach, hr the m , ,nth of June or July last. They drank brandy and water itigether, till the Pro secutor appeared intoxicated ; alter which they had some tea ; and when he went to them in the parlour, he saw the l'risoner with a pocket-hook in lts hand, and he said to the Prosecutor, there is nothiag in it. Ile Prosecutor replizd, then you have robbed me of 6001. The Prisoner in a short time after left the house, the witness thinking he should have no chance of getting his reckoning from the Piersecutor, he be ing drunk, ran after the prisoner, but could not overtake him. Vhe P;isoner was committed for further exami natiori. WESTAILASTA IC E LECTIO.Y. At three o'clock in the aft'ernoon of yesterday, a procession came mit of the Shekspeare T.vern, in Covent Garden, preceded by marrow-bones and cleavers. A man in aterioue, with a black spear, led the way ; the effigy of a tailor, with a cab:aage and a piece of bacon, his measores, goose, and shears, and thg label, tt POOP Paull ;" next fo3owed the effigy of Bonaparte, in his state robes, and bear ing she imperial scep:re, and the inscription—" Be repeat tomnsaadb hie vale far Paull." The procession was closed by near Slii of 'Mi. Sheridan 'S friends, with cochadei in their hats. The whole proceeded round Covent Garden, passing in the front of the Hustings, where it was greeted with loud howl, intermitted with hissers Sonaparte, -before he re turned to the Shikspeare, had his state robes very much covered with mod The noise .ind tumult in front of the Hue lags,,ene„. thrued darii g of yesterday, but with some eousiderabk v iriety of opinion ; for, while one party cheered Hoed, another wished success to Sheridan, and a third shouted Paull for ever I At the close of the Poll, the numbers a : speared as follow ;—• For Mr. Paull 9143 Fur S kr Samuel Howl 1927 For She:jean.. 1330 Mr Puree MOPIIE, in the absence of Mr. She ridan, addressed the Eleihors. amidst 'the greatest noise and disturbance. He said, that as he had foretold yestcrd ty, his Right Hon. Friend had gained a considerable advantage en this day's poll. arid he roust continue to do so every day during the poll, while he was supeirted by the respectable, in dependent, and worthy part of the Eleaors of West minster. Until this day he had not been able to canvass the city of Westminster, but he now found 1 that the most numerous and respeßable portion of the voters were friendly to the true and genuine cause of liberty, and he had no doubt, .bat a day or two more would completely extinguish the little satellite or popularity. The noise and eta. moor of a hired mob raight assist for a day Or two to prevent the more peaceable Eleaors from coming forward, but they would soon be con vinced, that this trick would not avail them in the end. His Right Honourable Friend stood upon a rock too firm to be shaken by the blast of a hired rabble ; he stood upon a founda tion laid by the true and independent friends of liberty ; which all the artificer, stratagems, or shifts of his adversary, could not remove him from, and a day or two more, lie was convinced, would com pletely darken the /dee satellite of Sir Francis Bur dett, who, himself, would require all their aid and assistance at Brentford io a few days. He profess ed himself the friend and supporter of the Baronet on a: cornier occasion ; but times arld circumstances were changed since that period. He congratulated the Eleftors upon the brightening . prosprit before them, and trusted that their exertions would place his Right Hon. Friend in that Situation that would raise him beyond all competition. The noise of the populace here became so loud and vociferous. we lost the greater part of the Ilan. gentlemen's speech. Sir Serest. Hoon next came forward. and con gratulated the worthy EleCtors upon the state of the poll this day, and trusted that their well timed ex ertions would to-morrow place him at the head of it, notwithitanding all the calumnies which were levelled against him. A Gentleman had come for ward, avowedly the friend of Mr. Paull, upon two different days, for the express purpose of defaming and destroying his chatofter in the eyes of the worthy and independent Eleaors of Westminster; but tuts had no avail. as Mr. Paull himself bad per sonaily armed him in the course of the day, that the calumniator was no friend or intimate of his; and he wholly denied the calumny itself He con cluded by exhorting his friends to exertion, and as earls' attendance to-morrow.to conclude the battle so well fought, with a final and decisive vidory.
