S URREY 00 11 REY SESSIONS.-KINGSTON, OCT. 22. IP A number of Pauper Appeal cases being disposed 0 of this morning, the question which has excited so !. Much interest in this county respecting the sale of 4 intermediate beer by the retail brewers, came on to 0 , ,be argued upon several appeals, before -- SPEER, 1 ' Esq., the Chairman, and a considerable num:3er of Magistrates. " The first case was that of James Webb, a retail breWer, who had been convicted by a Magistrate of 6 : Popham, for selling beer on his premises, and fined I ; In "penalty of five pounds, on the 17th June last. Before the merits of the case were inquired into, ' 1 Mr. THESSIGER, for the appellant, took an objection I to the terms of the conviction, on the ground that If: the -26th section of the Act, the 9th of Geo. IV., rendered it imperative upon the Magistrate to award C ,i, 11 portion, b e i ng not more than a moiety, of t h e fi ne I , to the info rmer , an d t h e remainder to the Treasurer I I of the county. ) Mr. BACON, in support of the conviction, con ; tended with some ingenuity, that the whole penalty 6 was to be recovere d i n t h e usual manner by the ' I ~(i Treasurer of the county. ! i The Magistrates were, however, of opinion, the ; li . t he convi ct i on was :i n f orma l i n terms, and they, con. It 1 'equently, ordered it to be quashed. : 1 P. 44131 1 OF ST.

The following petition was also read to the Court by Mr. Tickner; in the course of his speech TO THE KING'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY IN COUNCIL. • '‘ THE HUMBLE PETITION OF CHRISTOPHER TENN ANT, OFSTOCKToN-UPON-TEES, I N THE COUNTY OF DURHAM, MERCHANT, Humbly sheweth—That the city of London, and the. aciast of England, from Berwick-upon-Tweed to Ply mouth, are mostly supplied with coal from the ports of Newcastle and Sunderland, to the amount of 1,200,000 Newcastle chaldrons annually, which is nearly double the number in Imperial chaldrons, or 3,180,000 tons, of which the metropolis censumes about two-thirds. " That in the year 1795, the best Walls End coals were sold free on board of ship at Newcastle at 189. a Newcastle chaldron ; and at the present time they are sold at 365. a Newcastle chaldron, although the method of work ing coal-mines has so much improved. " That the great increase in the price of coals to your Majesty's subjects arises from a combination between the Most Honourable the Marquis of Londonderry, and divers other owners of - eolleries, at the aforesaid ports of New castle and Sunderland. " That arbitrators are annually appointed to award to each coal-ownerthe quantity of coal he is to ship for the year, divided into . rhonthly parts. " That the arbitrators chosen by the Most Honourable the Marquis of Londonderry, and divers other coal-owners for the year 1826, to limit the vend of coals for the year 1827, were Benjamin Thompson, Matthew Plummer, William Stobart, George Johnson, and George Hill. " That. the arbitrators chosen by the aforesaid coal owners for the year„lB27, to limit the vend of coals for the year 1821 are William Brandling, George Robinson, Thomas Hopper, George Johnson, and George Hill. " That an office, with a Secretary, is kept at New castle, and another office at Chester-le-street, to regulate and enforce the awarded limitation in the vend of coals at each of the ports of Newcastle and Sunderland. " That your petitioner humbly conceives that the afore said limitation in the vend of coals is contrary to various Statutes provided against combinations and monopolies, to enhance the price of the necessaries of life to your Ma jesty's subjects. " That your petitioner has made the coal-trade his chief study for many years, and can point out an effectual remedy to overthrow the aforesaid limitation in the vend of coals, and greatly reduce the price of that most neces.ary article to millions of your Majesty's subjects. " That your petitioner, actuated by motives of patriotism, appeals to your Majesty, as the father of your people, to protect them against a monopoly or combination, so detri mental to national prosperity, and oppressive to the poor classes of the community. " Your petitioner, therefore, humbly implores your Nfajesty will be graciously pleased to command him to be examined on oath to the truth of the allegations of your petitioner, before such Members of your Majesty's Right Honourable Privy Council as your Majesty may think proper. "And your petitioner, as in duty bound, will ever pray, (Signed) " CHRISTOPHER TENNANT. " Stockton-upon-Tees, 13th November, 1827." Mr. Sheriff COPELAND thought the object pro posed a good one, as he knew that as much coals were sold for 7s. at the Tees as were equal to three chaldrons in London. Mr. Ald. WAITHMAN was glad to see the subject taken up by the Court. An opposition had been got up in the House of Lords against the City of London, when, for the purpose of effecting a great public improvement, it had proposed to levy a tax of 6d. a chaldron on coals. That opposition was placed on the ground of the tax being a great injury to the poor. Their Lordships had extended their sympathy on this occasion a great: . s'Vatttid 'so strong was their sympathy that they brought wit nesses and solicitors a distance of 600 miles, and maintained them in London at a great expence, - not for their own interests, but the interests of the poor. A combination had formerly existed among the coal owners ; a quarrel had afterwards ensued among them, and then coals fell eight shillings a chaldron. The bast coals had been under thirty shillings. The differences, however, among the coal owners, had been healed; they had agreed that the vend should be resumed, and the instant this agreement had been entered into coals had risen more than eight shillings a chaldron. The coal owners had objected to a tax of sixpence per chaldron for a great public object which would have amounted to forty thou sand pounds a year, and they levied a tax of ten sixpences, amounting to four hundred thousand pounds, which they took from the poor and the public generally, not for any public purpose, but to put into their own pockets. These persons had entered into a foul and abominable combination. Ought not, he would ask, the indignation of the public to be roused, and ought not the:opinion of that Court to be displayed ? An oppo sition had been got up to the execution of a great public object, upon the miserable arid hypocritical pretence of the tax raising 40,0001. on the public, while they who opposed it levied on coals a tax of ten sixpences to put in their own pockets. He had been attacked because he had not agreed to certain doctrines concerning free trade; but he should cer tainly like to see the trade in coals free, and before people set about carrying schemes into execution which tampered with the commerce of the country, it behoved them to put a stop to such iniquitous plans as the one he had referred to, for putting money into the pockets of individuals, by taking it out of the pockets of the public, He was sorry to say that some suggestions he had made to the Coal Committee had not been attended to. The public indignation was, he believed, however, now roused, and he hoped the Committee would make such a report as would lead to presenting petitions to both Houses of Parliament. The petition was then ordered to be referred to the Coal Committee. It was also referred to the same Committee to in quire relative to the subordinate officers, and to con fer with the Court of Aldermen thereon. The City Lands Committee delivered in a report with a Bill for establishing a cattle market on Thurs day at Smithfield, which was read and agreed to; and the Bill read a first and second time, referred back to the Committee to fill up the blanks, and re port thereon at the next Court. The Court then proceeded to the election of a person to fill the office of Secondary of the Gilt spur-street Compter, in the room of Samuel Col lingridge, Esq., deceased, and the ballot being taken and cast up, the numbers were— Mr. John James Whereupon the LORD MAYOR declared Mr. James duly elected.

BRIGHTON, OCT. 21.—SPLENDID EQUES TRIAN FETE.—A match, which had excited great inte rest here, was decided this morning on the London road. A gentleman had betted T. H. KEMP, El. M.P. 100 guineas to five that he could not ride one of his own horses nine miles within the hour in the following manner, viz. : —three miles at a walk; three at a trot; and three at a gallop. The odds had varied from 10 to Ito6to 3 cm time; and the performance was considered very difficult, as Mr. KEMP rode 14 stone. Soon after starting, the horse broke six times in the trot, which caused some delay, but he Fe:formed the three miles in 14 minutes. He com pleted the same distance, at a walk, in 36 minutes ; the gallop in SI minutes, winning cleverly, with a minute and a half to spare. The horse vas excellently rode by Mr. KEMP, who was greatly cheered by the spectators. Not withstanding the early hour at which the match came off many gentlemen were present, including Sir H. FALICI NNE, Mr. CAMPION, M&. STEWART, Colonel Alavnit, and divers cfficera of the 15th Hussars, Betting to a large amount took place, and a powerful interest was excited. At this time Mr. Kkair an d a l arge party of gentlemen,having dined there, are passing a mo s t c h eer f u l e vening at the Royal York Hotel, COURT OF KING'S BENCH, OCT. 22. MURRAY V. HODGSON, ESQ. N.P. This was an action on a promissory note made by the defendant for 8,0001., dated the 23d of Novem• her, 1825, payable eight months after date, to the order of I.l9avland Stephenson, and by him endorsed to the plaintiff. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL stated the plaintiff', case. The plaintiff, Mr. Adam Murray, was a sur• veyor, who had conducted himself with great repu tation and integrity, and by his industry had realized a competency for himself and his family. Nearly the-whole of it, however, had been put in jeopardy by the conduct of a person whose name had for a long time made a great noise in the world,—he meant Mr. Rowland Stephenson. The defendant, Mr. Frederick Hodgson, was a gentleman of large -fortune, and a Member of Parliament. He, to hi misfortune, had been on terms of great intimacy -with Mr. Rowland Stephenson. They had been connected together for a long time, partly for pur poses of business and partly for pleasure. The note of hand upon:"Which the present action was brought had been given by Mr. Hodgson to Mr. Stephenson, and by that gentleman it was endorsed to the plain tiff (Mr. Murray), as a security for money which he had placed in Mr. Stephenson 's hands for the pur pose of having it laid out at interest. The claim which Mr. Murray 'had against Mr. Stephenson considerably exceeded the 8,0001. the amount of the note, though that sum formed -by far the greater portion of it. Mr. Murray had been employed by Mr. Stephenson in the way of his profs-. sion, about two years before Mr. Stephenson disappeared in this country, and he had opened an account at the banking-house of Messrs. Remington, where Mr. Stephenson had the com -:niand of the money of Mr. Murray which had becn intrusted to his care. The note bore date the 23d of November, 1825. Whether Mr. Stephenson had given Mr. Hodgson any consideration for the 'note, or whether it had been given for the personal accommodation of Mr. Stephenson, he (Mr. Murray) . ew not. What the transactions between the ,fifties were, were best known to themselves. 11..1r. urray knew nothing of them at the time he re ' ceived the note nor since, except what he had heard after Rowland Stephenson absconded, and when Mr. Hodgson was applied to for payment of the 4.3,0001. At an. interview which Mr. Murray then had with him, he was told that there would ba no 6bjection to the principal 'remaining in his hands, .be paying the interest. Mr. Hodgson then request -0 time; but ultimately refused payment altogether. I`..lnit: refusal had given rise to the present action. He Attorney-General) should, in the outset, Malt prove the hand-writing of the parties to the •tiates.. That would be sufficient to entitle the plain tiff to a verdict in the absence of any. case on the part of the defendant. If any grounds of defence should be offered, he would contend against them in the best.way he could; and he hoped he 'should do so with success. The note was then put in and read; the hand writing of the parties being admitted. Mr. BROUGHAM 'would state to the Jury the cir cumstances under which the note had been made by Mr. Hodgson and passed to Rowland Stephenson. Mr. Stephenson had been the owner of an estate near Epsom, in Surrey, called Pitt's-place, and Mr. HEfil!speing desirous of possessing a treaty too` between, them for the purchase.. This was in November, 1825'. A contract was entered into by which it was stipulated that in consideration of a certain sum, to be afterwards agreed on, Mr. Hodgson should become the purchaser of the estate. The written agreement prepared between the parties bore date and was signed by Rowland Stephenson on the 23d of November, 1825, the very day on which the note of hand was given. The considera• tion stated in the agreement as having been paid as part of the intended purchase money was 8,0001. No such sum, nor in fact any sum, was paid • by Mr. Hodgson to Mr. Stephenson, but the note in ques tion was passed by the former to the latter party for the accommodation of Mr. Stephenson, and partly in reference to the bargain for the purchase of Pitt's place, it being understood that if on investigation it should be found that the sum due to Mr. Stephen son on the purchase was less than that fur which the note was given, the balance should be paid to Mr. Hodgson ; but if found to be more, Mr. Hodgson was to pay to Mr. Stephenson the balance due to him. The note having been dated in November, 1825, and made payable in July, 1826, and the time stipulated for the completion of the purchase of Pitt's place expiring at the latter period, application was immediately made by the solicitor of Mr. Hodgson for an abstract of Mr. Stephenson's title. It was furnished by Mr. Stephenson's solicitor in Decem ber, 1825, and immediately laid before an eminent conveyancer for his perusal on Mr. Hodgson's be half. -On examining the title, as disclosed by the abstract, innumerable objections were found. These were stated by the conveyancer in his written opinion, and the abstract, with the opinion, was re turned to Mr. Stephenson's solicitor in Mardi, 1826. The solicitor found that the objections could not be got over, and that the title could not be perfected. The abstract was never returned to Mr. Hodgson's solicitor, and all parties considered the contract at at end. ,The note having been given at the request and for the accommodation of Mr. Stephenson on Mr. Hodgson's entering into the contract for the pur chase, it was, on the abandonment of that contract, taken up by Stephenson ; and if Mr. Hodgson had thought proper to apply for it at any time, it would have been given up to him, he having nothing fur ther to do with the estate. As soon as it was dis covered that a good title could not be made, Mr. Stephenson resumed the ownership of the estate. These were the facts which be (Mr. Brougham) should lay before the Jury. When he had done so, and proved that no consideration for the note ever passed from Rowland Stephenson to Mr. Hodgson, and that Mr. Murray received it after it had become due, it would be quite unnecessary for him to go into the other circumstances of the case for the pur pose of satisfying them that Mr. Murray had acted without due caution. These facts, as detailed by the Learned Counsel, were afterwards proved in evidence, after which the Jury returned a verdict for the defendant. WEST V. HALL AND ANOTHER.

Anothe r Stall in Salisbury Cathedral is now vacant by the dcath of the R'n's JOHN GUARD : B. 1), to inquire into the state oldie revenue arid L xpen liture of the empire, with a view to reeoreenerid ,!conomv in the employment of the former. and retitle ion in the amount of the latter. This locument exhibits a view of the prospective Tei iiisterial budget for the eighteen mouths from January next to July, 1831, making such com ments and suggesting such changes as, in the )pinion of the Committee, the public interest demands. Any extended account of this in quiry would scarcely be warranted by the trifling interest felt in the subject on this side of the Atlantic ; but we shall make no apology for a brief notice of the report, .which, being dated the 20th of August, may be regarded as the inost recent publication of the Brazilian esti mates. The Commission natueallf - diVO'theie . labours into two parts, the fir ,rere - rtitig 'to expenditure, and the last to the; ways and means. The former is again subdivideeinto six d,-p-irt.- !nents ; the expenditure, whieltlakes, pla -e tin der the Ministry of the Interior,' . .i.pfe4Justiee, Foreign Affairs, of Marine, of War, iof Finance. The charges of the Interior aiecunt in the ministerial estimates to 1,105,114 lA rees, or about a quarter of a. million sterling, and the CommisSion propose to reduce . them to 9341,710 milrees. The stun demanded fen- the department of Justice is 801,857 milrees, •• and the Commission think that 725,228 would be adequate for the remuneration all the services performed, under this. lead, They are equally Unsparin ' in the . Inanch of expenditure under th e Ministry fe,r reign Affairs, which they propnee to rie duce from 771,133 to 540,000 They then arrive at what they call one of the greit absorbents of 'the public revenue—the g:irine, which they propose to reduce from 4;920,8f53 to 3,112,400 milt-tees. In the V, Tar Dena - rtment Lhey find more work for the pruning , knife than in any other service, cutting doiAn the Le,tiinated supplies from 7,800,000 to 4,400,000 mlrees; or lopping off nearly one half. The depart ment of the Minister of Finance. shares a similar fate, the estimate in that budget being 14,011,713 milrees, anti that of the ConunieF3ion amemiting only to 9,929,885. The whole e , i;inatcd ex penditure of the state is thus rei7tieed by the Commission to 19,672,223 milrees, which taking the inilree at its late value in Porzu , ral, would amount to nearly 5,000,000/. s!eriing, llut which, from the depreciation of the Brazil curiencyi must fall much below that sum. • Arming the many evils with which the present - , ys!em h as' afflicted society is the Law of Arrest. \Yid:out this law it has been deemed impossible tc , parry on trade to its present extent ; and to el: lonseribe the transactions of commerce is incompa tible with raising the present amount of taxes. Thi facilities for recovering debts induce persons to hob; out great inducements to the thoughtless arid inex perienced to make purchases, which, we regret to state, is carried to such an extreme, that even shop men and apprentice boys are not exempted from the lure.-- The effect of which is, that instead of n young man saving his money first and spending it afterwards—as was formerly the custom—he now runs in debt, relying upon the chances of trade, or the chapter of accidents, for the means of meeting the demand when it becomes due. We would, however—if attainment were within the reach of our powers—lay the axe at the root of the evil ; failing this, we would repeal the Law of Arrest, which, although the effect, would soon cheek the cause. But this, also, is attended with great difeuity, fraikihe existence of the prejudice wt have above referred - Th'—namelyi.thattlifjaw of ar rest must be co-existent withntitelireittat system of taxation. Therefore, in our iXtability to_ remedy the evil, we are anxious to see Inch palliatives adopter as the Legislature may be inAuced to accord to us; and - to accomplish this end is the object of the pre sent notice. We need hardly say that-the expeuce of recover ing debts is a great grievance to the fair trader; for it is very evident that the money paid for costs attending the recovery of a debt is so much taken from the pocks is of other creditors. This is so evident a proposition that no one, wu think, will be disposed to di-muse it. A owes at other letters of the alphabet 500/.; of this sum, I claims 50/. He sues A for the amount, which is ultimately paid with 201. or 301. costs. The pay ment of these costs renders A less capable of satis fying- the demands of his creditors who have been less pressing than B ; and consequently the money which, in the -shape of costs, passes from A to B's attorney, is Qo much taken from the pockets of the other creditors. .. But if this be a great grievance in cases where the debt is_ to a large amount, what is it where small turns are concerned ? For instance—a man goes into a shop and gives an order for goods to the value of thirty-five shillings. Though this transaction is supposed to be for money, the cre ditor evades the payment, either from a .lack of cash or of principle. To recover this debt in the County Court, supposing him to be litigious as well as poor or unprincipled, the skopkeepermust incur the risk of. an. enormous expellee of costs ; and successful, must entail that enormous expence or, the debtor. If the creditor be a „roan _of thought and of principle, he must prefer putting up with the loss' of his property to embarrassing the debtor, although he knows Mtn to he of dishonest character. But if he could :recover without , the infliction of the-enormous attendant expence, and without the delay which at present places(' the creditor at the mercy of the debtor, the case would be very dif ferent, The - s,llopkeeper would recover his due; the creditor would be compelled to pay " what he ought, and what he bought;" and many a man, and many a family, would be.4aved from irretriev able ruin. Our object is to induce the inhabitants of this town to petition Parliansent for the establishing a Court of Requests in. Brighton, for the recovery o! sums, say under 51. or 10/. Besides the great sav ing in point of expence,At would have this good effect :—The Court of - Requests would be an open Court. It thence follows, that if a man were un able to pay, his ability would become generally known—his facilities to obtain credit would be di minished, and he would be preserved from the con sequences of speculating or living beyond his means. A Court of Requests would also be invaluable in cases of disputed accounts, where the parties are obstinately disposed, end inimical to each other. Some persons may say that these stubborn natures are justly punished by the results to which we have referred above ; but this is not a Statesman's view, whose duty it is to enable a man to assert and re cover his legitimate rights, with as little inconve nience as possible to him who withholds it, whether from unworthy motives, or from an erroneous im pression. A case that has just transpired we shall take the , liberty of citing in illustration of our position. It is that of a disputed debt. The particulars are these : Mellish, a coachman, and a very respectable man, had agreed to supply a young woman, named Streeter, who keeps a fruit and green-grocer's shop in this town, with a certain quantity cf walnuts at a stated price. The agreement %vas not reduced to writing. The walnuts were delivered. Streeter says they were not according to sample—Mehish says the contrary. She refuses to pay, and he in sists. This transaction took place, we believe, in 1826. Well—at length Mellish applies to a lawyer, who issues a summons from the County Court —to which the defendant puts in an appear once. The cause proceeds step by step, from the July Court, 1828, to that held the Bth October, 1829, when the matter comes on for trial. The evidence, as a matter of course, is conflicting—but, the plaintiff has the good luck to get a verdict to the full amount claimed by him, with one shilling superadded as damages, carrying costs. Now comes the gist of the matter. Plaintiff's attorney delivers his Bill of Cests, which of course is submitted to taxation. It comes out of that fiery ordeal, and assumes the following shape : We have not space to enter into lie grounds on which these various reductions are proposed and justified. The Commission s anictimes ge!!; satirical, and at other times becomes intligna'nt at the extravagance on which they - are called to report. They find out that two noble Mar- , guises who had been judges of the Supreme Court, and had been promoted to places in the Administration; still retained their judicial sala ries after they had retired from judicial duties.— On this they observe that the nation is too poor to support, by • accumulated sinecures, idle ness and vanity. In remarking on the ex penditure of the Foreign Ministry, they ex press an opinion that Ministers of the second order should be sent to France, England, Austria, Russia, Rome, and Colombia. What Courts shall have Ministers of the first order ? It would . . appear none. So that the Brazil commission, in their diplomatic arithmetic, start from the number 2. They cannot withhold a sigh whets they think of the London mission. " Would to ' God," say they, " that there never had txisted a London legation ! Then the treasury of Brazil would have been more fortunate.!ll7 To make this " oxala" speak to the eye as well as the car, they point the expression of their re gret with three marks of emphasis as above. In coming to the Department of Marine they object to the quantity of stationery employed in the office of the Minister, and—properly enough, perhaps—think a porter and four deputies too many for opening his door. But the climax of their surprise and repugnance is reserved for the expenditure of the War Department, which they say is enough to drive the blood back into the heart ! • It supposes an army of 26,000 men, and makes out a budget to be merely an arbi trary estimate to obtain money. A very delicate point is touched in the remarks of the Commis sion on the expenditure of the Finance depart ment, which includes not only the charge of col lecting the revenue, but the payment of the divi dends on the public debt. We cannot go further," say they, " without asking, have the interest and sinking fund on the Portuguese loan in Lon don been paid ? Have the dividends of the last six months of 1828, and those of the year 1829, been yet discharged ? If they have not, where is the money ? If the Commis sion can lend its ear to public report, there has been no interest paid on the loan, the payment being suspended by the omnipotence of the Lon don legation. If this be the case, !haw, without some explanation, are the respective sums ad vanced which show an uninterrupted continuance of the transaction ?" To these questions the London Brazilian Legation and the English Portuguese hondholders can respectively ipet i : e the best answers—the former as to what ' has be come of the money, and the lattee. i s to whether they have received it. Some e:planation, how ever is due from the one to the other, as the original nhis ac towards iva debtor o i s interceptedccr comp huts a o is that risibl,aas third. defeated,ris i t e y. t inter- Brazil would do well to enforce punctuality in the dischar ge o f h er pecun i ary obligations, as, from the st cneodxpe f her di revenue lure compared tisliot x u vi n t l li ik t e l l i y e abro nes t e.
