This cause is of very greatnportce,o a • ii antll the • i • Oimmercial and trading world; ,itoCCujiled almost the , whole .of. this day; and many of those long \doubted and contested points in the code of - the Bankrutit . Laws are by. it, for the'present, setticd by Lord ELOON. We lately repined the interest'- ing ,trial of the first issue in this 'cause, direeled to be tried at the Sittings after last,Terni, at Guild hall, before Chief Justice MANSFIELD, and a Special Jury of Merehants, when a verdiCt was found for the Defendant, A motion was this 'day 'made for a new trial, on the grounds the Learned Judge's misdireclion - totheJury, and the terms °lbis report; which. both parties complained of, and,,with due deference to that Judge; found fault with. The Jury hid offered to find; tf the' 'patties would c,on sent, a verdi&, establishing the, act of bankruptcy in issue.as- committed on the. i 7th Or April, but not on the 16tH ; the words of the issue being, whe ther that at - t was committed before the.date and is suing of the Comniission, which bore date on the same 17th of April ? The question of fait was, whether Mr. Wydown, having been arrested at his own houSe, in Thames -street, on the evening of the 16th of April, at six o'clock, and kept in a Look up-house until one the next morning, when he found bail, by then going, with the advice of Mr. Chippendale, his Attorney, to the Attorney's howie, at Islington, was an att of. bankruptcy ?. The Chief Justice was of opinion, at the trial, in his charge to the' Airy,. that it was coupled with his subsequent remaining at Islington until. Sunday following as one continued act ; but the Ju l y were o f a diff erent opinion, as is the CHANCELLOR no‘i', by .directing another issue, to tind.on kt hat hour on that ThOrs day, the i 7th of April, the Bankrupt had risen from his necessary rest, .an,i bad returned from the house ofrElaWkins, HanitinOnd, and Co. Cheapside, where he , was stated to have come on the t.7th„ with the view of settling with them, as creditors, to avoid .a Cot/in-fission. The CHANELLOR:,Said; that if the Commission. was sealed before the hour or moment - of such re.' turn frOM the house of HaMmoritfandCo. the Com- Mission is . bad; but he. is determined to allow the fra&ion of a day in' all: such 6.'.ses; and against ' strong arguments, on the other side, held, that the .entirety of a day being a legal fiction, i 3, and of late years has been digcOuraged and diSir!owect, although .it waS formerly otherwise;. for lie •a case upon the gabled once referred tier , of the twelve Jtidges, which - they mild - upon--- naMely,. whether' t he .day in t Bich one . King of England died, was' te the day of that dead King or of 'his Su; •n,'we, - latz also held, that the awarding, on Corotnis sioti of Bankruptcv; and the was the issuing of such Commission, t such award ing and sealing did liot, with the docket Or affidavit and bond .befoi-e-elen6oned, constitute the as of issuing such-a ComtniSiinn, as_ strongly contended for by Sir SiNutit. llomtLier and Mr. COOKE, who argued against the hasty decision of Lord KFIN - YON, in the case - 4 -Bernard v. Hammond , (called the decision of moinent), niiw quoted by , Sir. ARTHUR PIGGOTT and .Mr. WETHERALL, by which the, calling of any Creditor is not (as before) held- necessary. to constitute absconding frem Credi-' tors, with a view of avoiding or delaying them, but that other evidence may he received to prove. the view or intention of the party abSconding or abietit. His Lordship remembered a case of a. man proved to have been at house, and •concealing himself, who was afterward found •to have been . in prison at the time of the call of his creditor ; but as the decision of Lord Kenyon; in full Court, was now add as a Creditor was, ex debit() justitie e, .entitt.ci to a C0111111i,61011 of Bankruptcy, op the usual recjoisites, and as the Court of Chancery might have sealed a Commission between the boUrs of twelve 'find mid"' o'clock, oa the - 17th of April, as he, and Lord Rosslyn had done sometimes, in the night time, it Might turn out that the Commission has issued in this: case before Mr. Wydown had left , the Lock up-House, in, which case it could not at all stand; and being dissatisfied with the verdict, even were it the other way, and with the Judge's Report, who refused to let the Jury find an Aet of BankruptCy, . on some hour of the 17th of April, .as .they offered,. his Lordship inusl - have another verdiel ; and on Sir SAMUEL - ROMILLY 'asking What the Assignees did, or could mean, by such expensive. proceedings ? and desiring to know, whether Mr, Wydown must not, in all events,have the crists of the verdict found for him, whatever tile net might be'? the considera-- tion of ; costs was reserved ; 'and ,on Sit- 'SAMUEL'S suggestion, his Lordship proniised to confer with the Chief Justice. , COURT OF KING's BENCH, furit ts; TheATtroat;icy-GENERAL applied for leave to file a criminal infornation 'against a Person of the: name_ of Harry Lutfman;on behalf of a Mr. Stokes, for violently assay.ltiotr - ;him and challenging shim t o fight a duel. The Affidavit stated, that Mr. Stokes Was confined, by' very severe iiidispositiou, •in the house of a Mr..HaNing, an - apothecary in Union stteet, Southwark; atid' , abotit a month ago, while Mr. Stokes was,, so ,vecy ill, Mr. .I, A ffinan (who ,was a pupil of sr.-i s tlaKiing,) Caine: hito his room, and without -anyiprevious provoeittiot 'whatever; i ptruck him a violent blow: ; he.,,thpn produced a case of loaded pistols ( and . usi s ted , ,h e should take pile of them and ligh't him, giving him, at the same time,' a written challenge. , . Lord ,Eit,ENßoktouoll doubted whether it would not be abetter way to indict him at the Sessions, as the Assizes were now so near at hand ; this mode he thought, would be best, as , it. would prevent the necessity of waiting',until next, term befere the ,Defendmi could she.w cause against this applica ;tion. On these groUnds the Court,refused to grant the Rule. Mr. GARRow said, he had a similar. motion, which seemed peculiarly to deMand the . attention -of- the Court, from the rank of the parties, and theaggrava tiOn of tire case. He moved it on the behalf of Major Fowey, who . was Commandant of the Hert lOrdshiie Militia, against a Mr. Chester, who was formerly a J.,ieutenant in the same Regiment. -In his situation as Major, he was called upon to exhibit some • charges wing Mr. Chester, in order to-have him, brought, to a Court-Martial. Mr. Chester, bowes e;•,' tbiragbt,il, better to retire-wit huut meeting • the charges, and he petitioned atici•Ot.taitiet; • leave t 8 resign. His resignation was.Otereitin,,the Orderly Book of the Regiment, ohli df Aine last, from which day he conseqUently ceased to' be part of. the Reginient he,'however, cattle to the -mess , that day, and, behaved so coarsely, that the Otlicers, present dehlared to the Major; that they must take some steps to keep him a..yvay ; and not to suffer them to be annoyed with his company in future. In consequence of this he wrote.to Mr. Chester, and in reply lie received a challenge.; to which he said should send au answer tO-morrow. He accordingly commissioned an Officei to,call on Mr. Chester, and tell hini, that he did riot feel him self bdund to anSiverhirn iti the manner he demand ed, and that; if he repeated his challenge, lie should have recent - Se tti measures which would not be plea sant... the . Office r did hdt go the next day, as it rained bird, and Chester had changed his lodgings; but he went the • following day, when Mr. Chester immediately proclaimed his intention of posting the Major as a coward, which lie ininiediately did, - by going into a Coffee 7 house and• sticking. till a placard against the wall , tii that effe4.4- 7 .ltule Nisi granted. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Ju COX y. GOULDING.' The Plaintiff, Mr. Cox, is the owner of the Cam berwell stage coach, and on the night of theBlit of April last was - driving his'OWn co a c h throug h Wal worth abbut the hour of dine o'clock, wlien th e Defendant, Mr. Goulding, a Gentle Man of fortune in London, was, with. his wife and nephew, driving his gig from CamberWz..ll into town, and.in driving against the Plaintiff's coach, by means. of the pole of the gig running under the shoulder Of - one of the Vaintiff 's horses with great torce, the Plaintitf's horse, valued at 20 guineas, in a few minutes After dropped down dead near the _Turnpike at Wal *worth. By this dreadful collision, in a very 'dark nighl the three persons in the gig ,were thrown • out, and Mrs. Crouiditg was left senseless on , the road ; her husband lifted her. in his arms into an opposite green-grocer'S shop,. and a cry was heard for a Doffor from some person 'in the road : ,the company in and upon the stage coach esca p e d un h urt ,. b ut Were much alarmed. This action was, brought to recover the value of the horse; which appeared in evidence to have had two eyes, but no power to see with either. . The first witness, Mr. William Hammond, tai lor, an outside passenger on the hind part of the coach, stated, that Mr. .Goulding .turned his gig out of his proper side of the road,•and drove it furious ly against , the Plaintiff's coach, and drove the pole of the gig into the,loins of the Plaintiff's horse, by which it way killed. This witness was very inticli confused, andOn,his cross-examination, stated, that the cause of his riot seeing the 4t'air More distinaly was, that all his attention was diretied towards the lady in white, who was: thrown from the gig, but he could not tell what became of her, nor did he go to her assistance. . On bell df of the' Defendant it was contended andiswern, that he had kept on his proper side of the, road, .and, that the Plaintiff broke out of the right.line, and came to the Defendant's side of the road, and dashdd against the^ gig,, which occasioned 'the evil: It Was settled,-.that accident was out of the case, and that the whole' turned upon. the, tiia, which of' the parties had quitted his proper side of the road, in driving, as the lac on.that head was :fully settled ,? • . . _ The witnesses, on both s:(lOs, so positively and direaly contradidet one another, that it was left to the Jury to tfrelieve which they please..l.

The Defendant: pleaded the general issue,' .but no justification of the truth of the libel, by which means the amount of the damages was the only question f)r the Jury ; the Plaintiff was entitled to a verdia for some damages, at all events, by this plea. !Tile slanderous words were these : " Dare you Oppose Mr. Tuson ? (another Attoiney at Ilchester.) Mr. Tuson has forgotten more law than i6u . have la,your head. You are -'a scoundrel and a cheat, and know no more law than the .chair I sit upon.
