upon the pavement, occasioned some confusion, and both horses being very high-spirited animals, ran off in the direction of the bridge. He (the prisoner) could not say whether or not his brother intended to pass through the toll-gate without paying ; but he (the prisoner) called to him more than once to s top, an 2 he answered that he wished he could. When passing through the Surrey gate, a man was standing in ;he carriage-way, and the her-c which big brother rode pushed up against him and knocked him down ; but neither he (the prisoner) nor his brother supposed that the accident had been attend- ed with any serious consequences. Mr. HALLS should remand the prisoner for the present. The offence might possibly amount to murder, and could not be less than manslaughter. The prisoner was then remanded. Mr. Thomas,- the superintendent of police, came before Mr. MiNslltrut. in the course of the morning, to complain that the parish-officers of Sr. Martin's in-the-Fields had declined to prosecute the woman, Mary Lucan, whom his worship had held to bail last week for having seduced two little girls, mere children, into bar brothel, for the purpose of profiting by their prostitution. Mr. MINSIMLL asked upon what grounds the pa rish officers declined to act ? Mr. Thomas replied, that they told him the evidence was not sufficiently strong, and that at all events the expense of a prosecution would he so great, they were determined not to risk it. it Thomas added, that it would be in vain for the police to exert them selves in endeavouring to abate the nuisances which existed, unless they were properly supported. There were at the present moment a great number of houses of ern_i very worst character in White-hart-yard and its vicinity, and unless the police were aided by the parish authorities those houses in which robberies and outrage were of nightly occurrence could not be put down. Mr. Thomas added,• that in all those houses female children of the most tender age were harboured for the purpose of prostitution. Mr. Thomas soon after retired, and Mr. Rawlings, clerk and solicitor to the parish officers of St. Martin's-in the-fields, entered the Justice-room, when Mr. Mts- SHULL took occasion to acquaint him with what Mr. Thomas had just stated, and expressed his surprise that the parish officers had refused to take any steps in the prosecution of such an infamous woman us Lucan had proved herself to be. Mr. Rawling3 observed, that the evidence was not suffcient. Mr. MlNsituld. observed that the facts of the present case were so strong, that he really must re quest of Mr. Rawlings to reconsider the subject with a view to a prosecution. Mr. Rawlings would attend to the Magistrate's stotgestion, and consider how far the evidence would warrant a-prosecution. WORSIII P-ST R EFL% Witlimn Bran:aand Elizabeth R eve were yes terday brought before Mr. BENETT for re-examina tion, on a charge of feloniously killing the prisoner Brown's wife. No evidence touching the death of the unfortit nate woman was gone into, the Coroner's inquest not having yet been held upon the body. The prisoners, neither of whom said any thing upon the subject of the charge against them, were remanded until the Coroner's inquest shall have been held, and were taken back to Spitalfields' watch-house, whence they bad been brought in or der to their examination. Both of them seemed rather advanced in years, and were extremely quiet-looking persons. Yester day afternoon, as they were passing through one of the passages from the office, in custody of the office's, a well-dressed female, in the crowd of women who wet e waiting there to see them pass, exclaimed, " This is the wretch," and struck the female prisoner a violent blow in the face. She was immediat' ly taken into custody, and placed at the bar before the Magistrate. She stated herself to be Margaret Ward, a milli ner and dress-maker. Mr. BENT^►T asked her what she had to say in defence of such conduct ? .The young woman, who appeared in a state of ex treme agitatian, replied, that she hail known the de ceased, and had been unable at the moment to re strain ti.c feelings excited a hen she first saw the woman who had been the occasion of her death. Mr. BENETT lectured her upon the impropriety of her condliet, of which, indeed, she now seemed fully sensible. The yquiig woman, who was a very respectable person in appearance, was discharged in the course of the evening, upon recognizances for her keeping the peace. UNION-HALL. Yesterday the stewards of a benefit club, called the Friendly Benefit Society, were summoned by the widow of a deceased member, for refusing to pay her the slim of 15/. which she was entitled to by the rules of the society. The co mplaitiant stated that her husband had Iwo a member of the above Society for the space of five years, and regularly made good all his payments. He ear taken unwell a short time ago, and died af ter a week'? illness ; and when she applied to the stewards of the Society of which he was a member, for the sum of 15/. which she was entitled to by the regulations, in order to bury him and pay other expences attendant upon. his illness, they rejected her application on the ground that her husband died Hof a di-ease which exempted his widow from all beriefit:; arising from the Society. On hearing_ the above statement of the poor widow, Air. CHAMBERS could not help expressing considerable surprise, and asked her of what com plaint her huahand had died ?—She replied, of the small-pox. One of the stew-as:la, who acted as spokesman on the oceasion, said, " Youe Worship, the rubs of our Society are, that the wives of members who die of the stnall-isox are not entitled to any benefit ; for it is expressly stipulated that persons who have not had the small-pox are not to be admitted as members." The steward here began to mumble forth the article whic% had reference to the different profes sions, trades, and religious persuasions of those who were deemed unfit for becoming members of the " Friendly Itepefit Society ;" the reading of which o f great rempsement. " You will find," said the steward, " that the sth article of our inks sets forth that the individuals labouriog in those voca tions are consiiiered ineligible to be enrolled amongst 116,—immely, lawyers, scriveners, thaat,crs, and otl.ers of the learned plofeszion ; neither do we admit a painter, plumber, glazier, water-gilder, eoloura grinder, shoemaker, tailor, bailiff, or bailiff's fob, lower, or any person who has not had the small ox, or bel.stig,s to any other benefit society o f this p lti a el or sort. And it is specially provided," sad tiae steward, roaring out as loud as he could, " that frialanan or Jew, or aay person other than those professing the Protestant rei;gion, shall be ad mitted as members of the said society," When the laughter provoked by the reading of the above extraordinary clause in the articles of the " Friendly Benefit Society" had in some measure subsided, Mr. CHAMBERS exclairnea," By the clause you have just read, Mr. Steward, it Appears that in addition to members of the learned peofessions being deemed ineligible to enter the society, yogi have also excluded a great majority of the different trades which are followed in London. lam only surprised," added the- Magistrate," that you were enabled to get any members to enrol themselves in a society where there are so many restrictions." He added that the society had been receiving the poor man's money for five years preceding his death, and it would be most unjust indeed to exclude his C#Y4lotv from the benefit arising from the Society. ibis opinion Mr. ELYARD most cordially joined, and the stewards were awarded to pay the sum which the widow was entitled to. M A RYLEBONE. Yesterday Henry Bai•er, a respectable-looking young man, was charged before Mr. GRIFFITH, by Thomas Ellen, a boot and sho e ma k er , a t No. 39, South-street, Manchester-square, with a breach of the peace. Nr. Ellen represented that the defendant kept company with his daughter-in-law, and had lately made himself very troublesome at his house, by charging him with being the writer of some anony mous letters which he had received, and he was obliged that morning to call in a police constable, and have him taken to the watch-house. The young man said this girl had had two ille gitimate children, and, still worse, they were be, gotten by her ov. n father-in-law. When the com plainant married her mother she was seven years old. When she was sixteen he seduced her in her mother's absence from home, and she had had a child, which is dead, and he continued the inter course with her until a second child was born, which is now living, and six years old. He was well ac quainted with all those circumstances, yet he was anxious to marry her ; but some one had written anonymous letters to him and to his parents, with the ill-natured deign of preventing it, and he be lieved they proceeded from the complainant. Two of the letters were here handed to Mr. Griffith, am/ the complainant was asked, upon his oath, whether he wrote them. He declared that he knew nothing at all about them. He told the de fendant so whenever he came, but the defendant always created a great uproar, and called him a monster and a disgrace to society. Mr. GRIFFITH said there appeared no proof that the complainant had written the letters,and there fore the defendant must not molest him respecting them. Indeed it was not to be supposed that he wrote them, for they charged him with being the father of two children by his own daughter-in-law. " It is a fact," said the defendant, " and he wants now to injure her still more, and prevent my marry ing her." The young woman was put forward, and, after she had charged her father-in•law with having had the intercou.se with her before alluded to, he said he could not swear that he was not the father of the children. Mr. GRIFFITH asked whether they had in any way become chargeable to the parish ? The answer was no; and it appeared that the one now living is suppor►ed by Mr. Ellen. The charge against the young man was dismissed.

MELANCHOLY EVENT.-ROBERT WARE, a man about twenty-eight years of age, who with his bro ther occupies a farm in the parish of Hew, a short distance from this city on the Tiverton-road, on Saturday last went into the house of a dairy-woman, whose name we have not yet ascertained, but who resided neatly opposite, and with out any known provocation, discharged the contents of a gun at her body, so that she died in less than two hours of er, in great agonies, part of her bowels having protruded before her death. The individual who has committed this dreadful act was attacked, during the last spring, with a phrenzy fever, hut considered by his medical attendant to have recovered from its effects, and in consequence no gusrd was kept over his conduct. We understand the husband of deceased was with him at the time of his ill ness; from which circumstance the only conjecture at pre sent formed is, that the recollection of being under his control had rushed into his mind with a return of the dis order, and instigated him to murder, as an act of venge ance. The information we have been able to collect states that WARE, with his gun in his hand, proceeded to the tarm-yard of the unfortunate woman, and watched her entrance to the dairy, where he followed her, in order to accomplish his purpose. He is at present, we find, in a state of delirium ; and the husband of the deceased, who is left with five children, in a most distracted state of mind. An inquest is now being held on the body, from the result of which, further particulars will be gained of this de plorable affair.—Exeter Alfred. . . A MORAL CONSTABLE.—A few nights since, a parochial representative of the King's Majesty, in a certain city which takes rank as the second in the king dom, happened to see a gentleman accompany a fair dam sel into a dontiae, which in the estimation of the neigh bours, was no better than it should he. Now this trun cheoned authority was none of your straight-laced moralists, who assume an imperturbable gravity, rand frown upon every little enjoyment of life, but a man who knew the world, and who knew how to enjoy himself in it. One who can take a cheerful glass, and who often takes one—and who, on the night in question, had he been put to his oath, would scarcely have cleared his conscience in swearing whether he saw one or two coupled' inamoratas enter the domicile aforesaid. But he is a strictly moral man, and very properly felt scandalized that such proceedings should take place in the street over which he was the peculiar and la. , ful guardian. He thereore remained en guard until the gentleman made his re-appearance in the street, when in the plenitude of his office, which the effects of his glass caused him abundantly to magnify, be seized the gentleman by the collar, and telling him he would have no such do ings in his sinct, made him his prisoner. The stranger was astonished—at first he thought he was in the grasp of some SC mudrel who wanted to make money of him ; hut on mentioning pecuniary matters, the virtuous constable repelled the offer with an indignation becoming a sworn constable of Gtorge IV., and hiccupped forth his detesta tion of the immorality the gentleman had been com mitting, and for which he determined to have him locked up. The gentleman was now convinced that he was in the grasp of a lawful executive, and as was the duty of a good subject, proceeded with the captor, who took him to a famous lock-up-home, in a certain street with a Swinish name, where sundry of the swinish multitude arc accom modated with a nights hlgint,7, when found " night wandering" in coutravertion of the city statute in that rase made and provided. The worthy constable having ar rived with his chat ;e, he staggered into the lock-up, doubtless expecting to be thanked for his vigilance in pro- teeting the public morals. Bnt the officer in command of the establishment did not look upon the case exactly in the same light as the constable. The gentleman was perfectly sober, and apparently had conducte3 himself in the streets with all due decorum, whilst the constable by his frequent deviations from the perpendicular, showed his infraction of that part of his Majesty's Proclamation against vice and profaneness, which treats of drunkenness. The tables were turned, and the amorous gentleman was sent about his business, whilst the tippling constable was kept in " durance vile" until the morning.— Yuri: Courant. 4W , HOi t , )1 4 4 • - THE MARCH OF HUMANITY.—On Sun day week, during . the yerformance of Divine Service at the parish church of Lca, near Gainsborough, says the Notangliam Mercury, a n:an with " solemn step and slow," and "a countenance more in sorrow than in anger," was observed to enter and steal silently towards the servant of Mr. the 'Squire of the village, and which the man's earmstness of manner and mournful gravity of face bcspoke to be a communication of painful interest. Tice servant, in a hurried manner, immediately accompa nied the man out of church, amidst the wondering curiosity of the whole congregation. After a short interval the servant returned, and, with a countenance in which anxiety was strongly depicted, hastily summoned his master, Mr. 5 himself, from his paw, and they both in a moment hurried from the church. The excitement of both Minister and congregation was now intense, and p iinfuffy displayed itself in every face. The people turned to each other with inquiring eyes: and every one appeared to be lost in conjectures. " Some fearful domestic or other affliction must have befallen Mr. S was whispered front one to another, and every one was ready to pour the healing balm of sympathy into the lacerated bosom of the pow evidently heavily afflicted gentleman.

LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 11, 1829. The following ore extracts from Lisbon Gazettes to the 31st October inclusive. The Anniversary of Don MiGuEL's Birth. day has afforded ample scope for the sycophants o usurpation and hypocrisy : LISBON, OCT. 26. The sentiments of heroic Slelity and profound respect which all loyal Portuguese feel for our august and legiti • mate King, never manifested themselves with such splen dour as on this auspicious day, in which Divine Provi dence, shedding its blessings o❑ the Royal Throne, gives the world to know that this throne is the object of its un •ernitting protection and support. Few kingdoms have enjoyed the singular happiness of possessing a long series of illustrious and virtuous Monarchs, constantly occupied with the true prosperity of their loyal subjects ; but cer t tinly no kingdom has had the good fortune tobe governed by a Sovereign. who by his exalted virtues possesses such a firm and unshaken empire over his people as the great, magnanimous, and legitimate King who happily governs us, and the auspicious anniversary of whose birth is to day the subject of the lively rejoicing of the most faithful Portuguese nation. Day of happiness and joy, when in the midst of the festal pomp is heard the shout of national ' exultation, and all hearts faithful to our august and be loved King address pure wishes of submission and cordial congratulation to the Throne, and fervent supplications to the Omnipotent Preserver of the Kings of the earth, ' that he may deign to protract for a long series of happy years the precious life of his Majesty Senhor Don Miguel 1., to whose existence the dearest interests of this Monarchy are indissolubly attached. Let us not doubt that God, who in the plains of Ou rique consolidated the foundations of this kingdom—who at all times caused the Lusitanian arms to triumph in the midst of hostile phalanxes—who, after so long an absence, conducted amidst the fury of the elements our august and beloved Sovereign to the salvation of the country, and into the arms of the faithful defenders of Royalty, to assume, according to the fundament d laws of Portugal, the sceptre which of right belonged to him—will lend a propitious ear to our ardent and loyal prayers, and will cause days of prosperity and glory continually to illuminate the political horizon of Portugal, under the happy reign of the best of Sovereigns. All the farts and the ships in the Tagus hoisted their colours, and fired salutes at day-break, noon, and sun-set. About eleven his Majesty, with a brilliant suite, pro ceeded to the Real Tapada de Alcantara, when be re viewed the hoops assembled there, who, as well as the immense concourse of spectators, welcomed his Majesty with the loudest acclamations. His Majesty then went to the Palace of Ajuda,where there was a brilliant assemblage of persons of distinction, and having received on the Throne the compliments of the Archbishop of Petra, the Pope's Nuncio, and of Don J. d'Acosta Montalegre, Ambassador Extraordinary from his Catholic Majesty, the King was pleased to give his hand to kiss to the whole Court, and to the immense num ber of persons of distinction who had the honour to be admitted to his presence, and whom his Majesty received with the affability which so remarkably characterizes his magnanimous heart.. In the evening there was a grand asembly at the Palace of Queluz, where a great number of persons of rank went to pay their respects to her Maksty the Empress Queen. In the evening the city was brilliantly By the arrival of the George and William from the Cape of Good Hope, we have Papers from the Colony to the 30th August, which are of some interest. The following notice had been issued from the Colonial Office on the 25th : " Advices were received this morning from the frontiers, by which it appears that a general apprehension existed of approaching disturbances on the Citrre frontier, several of the Chiefs having manifested hostile intentions towards the Colony. Up to the date of the despatches no act of hos tility had t iken place, the troops were on the alert, and the armed burghers hail received instructions to hold them selves in readiness to take the field in case of actual invasion of the Colony." _ _ _ From what we can glean from these accounts it would appear that the location of the Hotten tots in the ceded territory had given offence to the Caffres on the Eastern frontier, as it was affirmed that unless by mutual consent this was to be held sacred. The expulsion of MAcoioto from the territory he held had also excited great disgust among the tribes. Up to the 29th August nothing decisive was known at the Cape. The following notice had been issued from the Colonial Office on tl►e 28th " The advices received from the frontiers by the morn ing's post contain no ftn thcr intelligence regarding the ap prehended hostile movements among the Cafire tribes, nor bad any part of the araud burgher force been called out.up to the 21st inst." It appears that the Governor, Sir LowitY COLE, was about to leave town for the frontiers. He proposed to be in Graham's-town on the 19th September. The post from Graham's town was anxiously looked for. It appears further by these Journal ,, , that since the death of CHAKA, the Zoolah nation has been divided under two Chief's, one of whom, with his adherents, had been driven out of the country. upon the Amapootas, under TAKoo, ho, with the assistance of some of the Cafrre tribes, repulsed them, and forced them to return northward. The Chief, GIIIKA, is said to have expressed his uneasiness at the hostile demonstrations around him, and to be anxious to conciliate the matter. The agricultural reports from the interior re specting the crops were encouraging, and copious and salutary rains had fallen. _ _ The Bushmen bad been rather troublesome, having carried away a large quantity of cattle. Few more important questions have ever oc cupied the attention of Parliament than that, in the anticipation of which the country has lately roused itself in all quarters, and champions on both sides, in numerous force, have shewn them selves in readiness to enter the lists when the field shall be ready on which is to be determined the future fate of our East Indian possessions. It must at no distant date be settled, whether from and after the year 1833 the happiness of a hundred millions of his MAJESTY'S subjects, and the interests of the manufacturing and com mercial branches of our population at home, are to remain for another term under the controul of a Company established under national circum stances wholly different from those now existing, and which has risen, from being the owner of a single factory, to become the sovereign of a ter ritory extending itself over 600,000 square miles of the globe. The importance of any question in itself, amidst the large portion of knowledge and good sense that is to be found both in and out of Parliament, might be naturally supposed likely to secure it a fair and impartial consideration, were it not for the heavy weight of interested selfishness that always lies in the scale of monopoly. The rami fications of the patronage of the East India Company are almost innumerable, and it is well known what slight arguments will induce men to support the continuance of even a bad system, when they think the interest of themselves and their families is concerned. Nevertheless, the truth makes its way by degrees, and the benefit of a few is always destined to give way sooner or later, when it interferes with that of the nation at large. We entirely agree in the remark made by Mr . WYNN, the late President of the Board of Con_ troul, " That India must not be held solely for the benefit of this country—solely as a means " of wealth to England—for we have a higher " duty to perform, in providing for the security " and happiness of the inhabitants." But in recognizing, in its full extent, the moral obliga tion we are under to study the welfare of the native population, not only because the Govern ment of every Sovereign acting otherwise is a tyranny, but inasmuch as we have to atone for a heavy load of crime and cruelty,- perhaps inevit able, perpetrated for a series of years under the British administration, we cannot for a moment admit the implication that the interests of the mother country, and of her eastern colonies, are in any way opposite or divided, so as to render a system of misgovernment beneficial to - Great Britain. The intercourse "ith India is valuable to us exactly in proportion as the condition of her people is wealthy and prosperous ; and the poorer and more ignorant the natives are, the less profitable will be our communication with the country. For our own part, while we admit that all reasonable compensation should be made to the Company, and their interests liberally consulted, we have little doubt that India would be infi nitely better taken care of by the KING'S Mini- sters than the East India Directors ; but whether the necessary arrangements can be made for that purpose, at a period so early as the expiration of the present Charter, is a point on which we can hardly venture an opinion. There are two alterations, however, so indispensable, that no clamour of monopoly can prevent their taking place very shortly, the general voice of the Eu ropean inhabitants of India, and of all our ma nufacturing and commercial towns, having impe ratively demanded their adoption. The first of these is the free settlement of Europeans in India, whereby they may purchase lands, and introduce capital, industry, and the useful arts. That so rich a field for British in- dustry should exist, and that we should be de barred from availing ourselves of it by the re strictions of the Company, is an absurdity, for the late modifications by Lord WILLIAM BEN.. TINCK are sufficient proof that changes are deemed necessary by the Government. It is a. gross delasion to suppose that it would be detri mental to the natives, which is much the same thing as declaring civilization to be injurious in itself; for what rude country has ever suffered from the introduction into it of the arts of civi lized life ? The second thing needful is the perfect free dom of trade, especially of that with China. It is monstrous that the price of tea should be enor mously enhanced, to prevent our own ships from being admitted into the very ports which are filled with Americans and other foreigners. Talk of the protection of trade indeed ! this system is the prohibition of our trade, and of the employment of our shipping. Since 1814 the commerce of the Company has been regu lady declining, while that of private merchants h a s greatly increased ; a* . pretty strong proof that it is not from Lcadenhall-street that we arc to expect the means of invigorating British com merce. If the India trade in the hands of the Company be incapable of extension, as they told us in 1813, it is high time it should be thrown open to the exertions of those who know how to make it really valuable to themselves and the country. In fact, we think that an honourable principle of competition woula be beneficial to t h e Company itself, by stimulating to greater enterpl We shall not let this subject sleep ; and in the meantime we recommend to the Associations t hat have l)een already formed in the commercial disttictß, to persevere steadily in their ends to obtain a redress of the grievances, from which it is hard to say whether Great Britain or India at present suffers the most.

LAW INTELLIGF.NCE.-(THIS DAY.) COURT OF CHANCERY. HENSON V. EADY. Tile Loan CHANCELLOR. stated that he had read the bill and answer upon which the Vice-Chancellor had granted au injunction. The order directing the injunc tion had been drawn up in a form different from the man ner in which the injunction had been granted. The order was in terms that the Vice- Chancellor never could have directed, and which the plaintiff, who was a solicitor, ouclit to have known. Not only did his Honour not make such an order, but no application was in Court on which such an order could have been made. An applica tiod was subsequently preferred to the Court below for the purpose of having the order set aside, which the Vice- Chancellor complied with, making the pl iintiff pay the costs. The present was an appeal from the last proceed ing, awl upon the whole of the documents on which the Vice-Chancellor bad acted, his Lordship was of opinion that he had proceeded with perfect accuracy. The peti. tion further prayed that a new injunction :night be di rected, but the case appeared to be so suspicious, there seemed so much appearance of fraud awl trickery through out, that the Court could not feel justified ininterfering in the case at all at the instance of the plaintiff. Under these circumstances the appeal was dismissed, the costs to be costs in the cause. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT. JUDGMENT.-ASTLEY V. DE CLIEVE. The VICE-Cu NG ELLOR, this morning, gave judgment in this case, which involved questions under the will of Mr. Philip Attley, late proprietor of the Amphitheatre, which still bears his name. The testator had given annui ties to his nieces of 321. a year each, and other legacies to the De Clieves, under certain contingencies. The ques tions raised by the bill were—first, whether the annuitcs to the nieces ceased upon the death of the sen of the tes tator without childr, n ; next, if they did not cease, whe ther they took for life only; and the last question was, whether the gift over to the De Clieves was void. His Honour, after going at some length into the will, stated it as his opinion that the annuities given to the nieces did not cease upon the event that had happened, that they took only life interests, and that the gifts to the De Clieives wa void. The testator, at the time of his death, was in pos session of certain leaseholds in Lambeth ; the interest in which his Honour considered was taken by the persons who took in sixteenths under the will. The Court considered t he next of kin, at the death of the testator, entitled to t he residue by whom also the costs must be paid. COURT OF KING'S BENCH. SWAM V. SIR W. INGLEBY. Mr. GURNEY stated the case, which was an ac tion by an Indorsee of a Bill of Exchange to recover 142 L 135., the amount of the bill. The defendant, Sir W. Inglehly, was one of the directors of the Potosi Mining Association. The drawer of the bill was a m,ner named Ward, who was sent out by the company with a party of miners. It was accepted by an agent of the company sent out to arrange their affairs in America. The action was tried before Lord Tenterden, at Guildhall, ard a non suit was directed, as evidence of the presentation of the bill at the office of the company could not Le procured. Ilse Learned Counsel now stated, that he had procured the notary who had presented the hill at the office of the com pany, which had been partly broken up. He had other affidavits confirmatory of that fact. He hoped therefore, as, from the broken state of the company when he before brought his action he had great difficulty in getting the requisite evidence, the Court would now grant a rule to show cause upon payment of costs:—Rule granted. SAINSBURY V. CRUMP AND ANOTHER. Mr. DENMAN moved for a new trial in this case, which was an action against the acceptors of a Bill of Exchange, which had been drawn by Mr. Leigh Hunt, and discounted by the plaintiff. The Learned Counsel moved, on an affi davit of Mr. L. Hunt and others, contradicting the evi dence of a person named Avon, who bad contradicted Mr. Hunt on the former trial. Loan TENTERDEN said it would be a dangerous prece dent to grant a rule where the only ground was the dis agreement of the evidence which had already been decided by one Jury.—Rule refused. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. YONTIVEX V. DUNSTAN AND OTHERS. This waft another of the numerous actions brought against Shareholders in the late Imperial Distillery Com pany, for goods supplied by order of the Directors. Mr. Setjeant TADDY obtained a rule to show cause, why the verdict, which was in favour of the plaintiff, should not be set aside, and a new trial granted. MC COURT was afterwards occupied in hearing motions for new trials, none of which posqessed any public interest. A question Was raised in this Court last Term, whether or not a person possessed of a leasehold estate could legally justify bail ; and which question has been submitted for the opinion of the twelve Judges. The LoRDCHIEF_JusTicE this morning stated, that it was the opinion of their Lordships that a leaseholder was not qualified to justify, and in future none but house holders and persons possessed of freehold property would be accepted. rnICES OF STOCgS THIS DAY AT OILY o'CLocx. ft ink Stock 3 !,er Cent.

Ex chequer Chamber this morning, informed the Counsel present, that Mr. ul had been raised to the dignity of one of the Judges of that Court, in the room of the late Mr. Baron Ilullock. Mr. Baron VA uGnaai on taking his seat this morning, informed the Bar, that he could only take motions of course. The Lord Chief Baron being engaged in the Ex chequer Chamber, and Mr. Baron Garrow unable to at tend the Court by indisposition, arising from a severe cold. A Gentleman behind the Ilar, (in a case the name of which we did not hear) applied for a rule, calling on an attorney of the Court to show cause why be should not be called upon to pay costs in enaction that be had brought without any authority—to answer the matters contained in a number of affidavits—and pay the costs of the present application. Ic appeared from the affidavits that the at torney in question went to a female whose husband was at the - time a prisoner in gaol, and throwing before her some papers said, " sign them for your husband," she relying that all was right, did s'gn without knowing what the papers were. It turned out however that the paper was an affidavit of a debt of 4001., alleged to be due to her husband from a very old and infirm person in the neighbourhood. . On this affidavit the attorney issued a writ , which he put isito the hands of a person who he (the attorney) got ap pointed a special bailiff, for the purpose of executing it. The Learned Counsel real several affidavits, which states that the Attorney had said, when he was accompanying the bailiff to execute the writ—" Now, if we can ' grab' the old fellow, and get him to sign over his life interest, we shall make a good day's work of it." They then de tailed the conversation between the parties on arriving at the house. The attorney, after mentioning they had come on an unpleamnt business, viz., to arrest him for I _UT debt, said perhaps it may be settled it you will assign ov . r. your life interest in such a property. To Oil T i nld man replied, " I do not owe any such debt, and go to prison rather than do to." The attorney then Al gested that be could get it arranged for a certain sum money, which he gradually lowered in amount to 0 1 ' ; but the old gentleman was deaf to all his offers of 0173 , promise, and put in bdi to the action. There %vas an affidavit of the person whose name appeared. as P ilw „ tiff, positively swearing that he never gave any instrur o ., to bring an action, neither did the old gentleman °we'll"' any money. Baton VA trona N—Take your rule, Sir. —Rule grant ed. __, Ili Lordship, after hearing several other motions, rui at half-past eleven o'clock. EXCHEQUER CHAMBER. The LORD CMIEF BARON sat in Equity this morning' I3OZON V. WILLIAMS. This cause stood in the paper for judgment. His Le i ' ship, after going into a detail of the extraordinary lair; tion between the parties, said he could not sat isf f mind to pronounce a final judgment, until the c t oe 11 a d been again referred to the Master ; such had been the 0 1 /' stinscy on all sides, such had been the difficulties , P e . plexities, and labyrinths into which the question in ~, pute had been brought, that, in its present state, it w impossible for any Juke to decide with satisfaction himself. Now, said his Lordship, I know it will be or a this proceeding will cause another delay, and the Court iv' be censured; but it is not the fault of the Court, -it isd ° • fault of the parties. It is now 20 years since the bill wi" ,, filed. Mr. WALKER—No, my Lord, only fourteen years. CutEr BARON—WeII, never mind, say fourteen Ye ll ) the whole of which time has been attended with ration., • earense, and the case now presents much greater difflen than it did at its commencement ; and I again say it is l ot the Ludt of the Court but of the parties themselves, at the outset it might have been settled by a mutu al frig ; in two days. His Lordship concluded by saying , i n j not tA to those who presided in the Equity Courts, he felt beli to stite thus much. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)
