The distinguished Freehold Mansion and Estate, so long the admired Residence of Lord Northwick, on Harrow Hill, environed by its finely-timbered Park and extended Pleasure Grounds, with ornamental Water, 'and instant Possession; and two modern Gothic Villas, and Grounds contiguous, with Eight Acres of Land, and the Her mitage a little detached. 31R. GEORGE ROBINS has the pleasure to announce, that he is directed to SELL by AUCTION, on TUESDAY, the 9th of June, at Twelve, by direction of the Executors and Trustees for Sale, and unreservedly, in Lots, at the Auction Mart, opposite to the Bank of England, this singularly BEAUTIFUL FREEHOLD PROPERTY, which has long been the DISTINGUISHED FEATURE of this ADMIRED NEIGHBOURHOOD, and has been so invariably the subject of general commendation, that it would be as impossible as it would be superfluous, in the confined lienits of an advertisement, to attempt a pane gyric. HARROW PARK was for many years the favoured Retreat of LORD NORTHWICK, and mote recently the abode of MAjor- General ALEXANDER ISLRRAY McGREGOR, deceased. The Mansion ha', been wisely placed on a fine commanding situation, giving great facility to the extraordinary, beau tiful, and interesting views which the terrace walk com mand ; the panorama presented is so rich and varied, that it is believed it will . not yield to any in England. The Residence possesses, in an eminent degree, all the Rectum modatiorr A FAMILY OF DISTINCTION CAN DESIRE, and the domestic arrangement and Out-offices of every de scription are so complete as to leave nothing to be dean - ed. THE PARK OF SEVENTY ACRES, most Inxueiantly timbered, bas uniformly been the subject of the highest admiration ; there is an irregularity and lwautiful inequality in the grounds that necessarily add to the imposing effect, whilst the majestic Timber, scattered about in pleasing.negiigence, and the extended ORNAM ENTA I. WATER, winding in serpentine form through the admirably dis posed grounds, contribute, in no small degree, to the coup d'ceil. Of the latter it will probably be quite sufficient to add, thit the genius of Repton presided over the disposi tion of the pleasure grounds. THE :HERMITAGE, CONSERVATORY, AND ICE-HOUSE are all- judiciously placed, and the hot and auctesslicn houses, with the pinery, are all _ AS RECHERCHE as the most fastidious can desire. In fact, it will be diffi cult to suggest a luxury or a comfort that is not conspi cuous here.. There are two modern Gothic Villas,• just completed by Mr. Decimus Burton. with Gardens and Grounds to each, very contiguous to ilsrrow Park, witk Eight Acres of Land, including the Hermiti , p, and to be sold on the same day, in separate Lots. Particulars may be had until the Sale at the Park Lodge,' Harrow; of Messrs. ll‘Dougall, Sou, arid Bain briggr, Solicitors, Parliament-street; at the Mart ; and cards to view may bs had at Mr. Geirge Robins's Offices, Covent-garden. ON THE COAST OF HAMPSHIRE, BETWEEN SOUTHAMPTON AND PORTSMOUTH. A Desirable Freehold Residence, with suitable Offices Gardens, Carriage House, and capital Stabling, sur rounded by One Hundred and Sixty-five Acres, statute measure, of excellent Freehold Land, Four Labourers' Cottages, and Two Pews in the Parish Church. TO BE SOLD BY AUCTION, By Mr. GEORGE ROBINS, At the Auction Mart, London, on TIIL'ASDAY, June 11, at Twelve o'clock, AVery Valuable and Desirable FREE HOLD PROPERTY, particularly eligible as an Inveettnent, and advantageous and profitable to the Agri culturist; it comprehends a Residence, substantially and very conveniently built, calculated for a Family of respec tability, with corresponding offices of every description; the latter secluded from the abode by Shrubbery Walks, Fruit and Flower Gardens, &c. ; the situation is un usually inviting, and particularly dry and healthy, adjoin ing the turnpike road, contiguous to PORTSDOWN HILL, two rni!es from the capital Market town of Fareharn, seven from Porter:loath, fourteen from, Southampton, sixteen from Petersfieg, and Chichester. Connected with the Farm are Barns, Stabling, and Granary, Cart Houses, ; apacioss aa.l convenient Homestead ; four Labourers' Cottage. end harden., and ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY ACRES, statute mea sure, OF THE FIRST QUALITY OF ARABLE, MEADOW, AND DOWN LANDS, upon which is a Chalk Pit, with A Kiln thereon constantly in use. The Pit contains an inexhaustible supply of Chalk of the best quality for making lime, and for rale for manure, for which articles there is a constant demand ; its conveyance to the surrounding neighbourhood is cheaply and expe ditiously accomplished, the Pit being within a Mile from the Water side. This property is entirely within a Ring Fence, in the occupation of a respectable Tenant for the last fourteen years (whose Lease expires at Michael mas next), at an inadequate Rent the last renewal being in 1522, (the very worst year for agricultural proluce that can be remembered.) The Residence was recently tenanted by Admirals Paterson and Gif ard, and now by the Proprietors. The whole Estate is in perfect 'order and complete repair. The Prospect rooms offer uninterrupted and very interesting scenery, ex tending to Portsmouth Harbour, Spithead, the Isle of Wight, and Southampton Waters. The View from the Down Lands is still more interesting and beautiful, em bracing a distance of at least 20 miles in every direction of Sea and Lou],a which probably is not equalled in England. The Taxes are very low; the Land Tax on the Dwel ling-house is Redeemed. Four stage-coaches to and from Southampton, Brighton, Portsmouth, and Plymouth, and the mail between Bristol and Portsmouth pass the premises daily ; and two Passage-boats, to and from Portsmouth, afford a eheap and expeditious communication, the distance being about tour miles. Particulars of this most desirable Property may be had only till the Sale at the best Ilan, at Portsmouth, Southampton, Fareham, Petersfield, Chichester, and Brigh ton ; the Auction Mart ; and at Mr. George Robins's olgoes, Londe., where a eketsh of the SlltatV may be *ea. SPIRIT OF THE LONDON JOURNALS; The proposition of the Duke of Richmond on Tuesday last, for increasing the duty on foreign wool from id. to 3(1. per lb., was one of those the real effect of which, if adopted, would be the reverse of that which its advocates appeared to look for, and which at first it might seem calculated to pro duce. The Noble Mover took for granted, that be cause'the price of home-grown wool had fallen, the fall must have been produced by the importation of the foreign article. His Grace ought to have made it clear, or at least probable, that no other causes were at work. Has foreign wool maintained its price? We are told not. Has British wool main tained its quality ? Lords Harewood and Wharn el.ffe, the best authorities in England, assure us that it has not ; but that, from the mode of feeding sheep or other cause., it, has much deteriorated. Again, the Duke of Richmond ought to have laid ground for believing, that to contract the importation of fo reign would extend the consumption of British wool by the manufacturers of cloth for exportation. So far from such a consequence being likely to" follow, it is considered as a datum by all men conversant in the trade, that cloth made up of British wool alone is not a marketable commodity any where, arid that if the manufacturer were cut off from the mixture of wool of foreign growth with that of home growth, the result would not be to extend the use of home-grown wool, but to drive the British manu facturer out of the business, and to throw the whole export trade of England into the hands of the French, the Flemish, and German clothiers.— The question ought to be argued on principles fami liar to those who have examined the subject of the silk-trade, and often referred to by this journal in discussions not long past. The English throwsters clamoured for prohibitory duties on the thrown silk of Piedmont, but they could make no answer to the f►ct that silk goods of any value cannot be wrought without a considerable admixture of thrown silk from Italy; and that if deprived of it the British weaves might lay by his shuttle, and the throwster betake - himself to the poor-rates. So with wool : a certain quantity of foreign wool is necessary to make the home wool saleable. A large duty on the foreign raw material would so enhance the price of the cloth itself, as to exclude the British manufac turer from all competition with his foreign rival, and would of necessity recoil upon the British grower, by rendering his material unfit for use. This is the whole of the reasoning. Nobody denies that the flock master of this country obtains a less price than he did some years ago forhis wool. Lord Ellenborough attri butes the fact to over-production, from a multipli cation of sheep r and to an extended substitution of cotton goods for woollen. We cannot at once lay our hands on information connected with this sub ject, sufficient to confirm or refute these assertions; but we have heard that there is an increase in the quantity raised of foreign wool, as well as British, and that a more powerf►►l rivalry has arisen in foreign countries to the British woollen manufacturer, as well as, to the British grower, which will sufficiently account for the statement made by the Duke of Richmond, that there had within the last four years been a decline in the export of British cloth, as compared with the four preceding. If, moreover, such a falling off has really taken place, does it not demonstrate the madness of ar►y proposition to raise the price of that indispensable material—viz. Spanish and Saxon wool—when, under the ad vantage of a diminished duty, the manufacture which depends upon it is maintained with so much diffi culty ? We rejoice to find that upon this question his Majesty's Government has formed, a►id will adhere to, the system of encouraging British ma nufacture by better means than prohibitory duties Timer?. We really hardly know what people are contend ing about, or what measure they would recommend, when they speak with clamour of the present state of the country as one of extrem e su ff er i ng a nd dis tress. That it is not a season of full employment and abundance, is but too true : but what is it, com pared to the prophetic descriptions which have been given of it for the lust two years ? Now is the time when wheat was to be a shilling a bushel, and farms were to be all thrown up ; and England, in fact, was to become a desert ! Arc these things so ? The last harvest produced probably but scanty crops, which in the south were ill got in ; in the north they were abundant, and the grain was better housed : there have been also considerable importations. Yet, not withstanding this, and the extinction of sma ll notes, wheat maintains a fair price,—too high an one for the poor labourer. On the subject of crops, how ever, we advise the public at all times to beware of impostors. To hear the people who call themselves political economists, and the yet greater louts, the country gentlemen, talk, you would think that they knew to a bushel how much grain of all kinds was produced every harvest. They know not hi ng what ever of the matter. Their opinions, however con fidently given, are not worth a barley-corn. With respect to the small notes now recalled, some bankers of tottering credit, looking to the state of their own concerns, have been impud ent l y g i v i ng out that they must be re-issued. The declaration of the Duke of Wellington in the House of Lords on Tuesday evening, has given a detrh-blow t o th at . wild and wicked hope. Grace declared ex pressly, that Government " would persevere i n t h e measure, for the purpose ot placing t h e fi na n c i a l concerns of the country in a proper state." Nor is there any reason why they should not persevere, it being obvious that the recall of the sma ll notes, from which so much difficulty was predicted, has occasioned none whatever. Observe, we do not say that there is not pressure and embarrassment ; but the embarrassment and pressure are not greater than they were when the small notes were in circulation: the recall of the small motes cannot, therefore, haYe crested er even aggravated the nsisvhief, There is less distress now than there was last year at this time—less than in the spring of 1827 ; less, infinitely less, than in that of 1826, when small notes were abundant. How, then, can it be said that the pre sent extinction of the small notes has occasioned the pressure, be it more or less, which is felt ? The Duke cf "Wellington's statement is authentic and undeniable—that the present circulating medium is more than sufficient for all the wants of the coun try, consisting of notes of 5/. and upwards, and gold supplying abundantly the place of the small notes. The nationa! debt has distressed many a loyal reasoner, and cheered the heart of more than one knave and traitor ; yet still the interest. of the national debt will be paid, in contempt of the fears of the former and the hopes of the later, even though 11. notes are withdrawn from circulation. This is very extraordinary, after so many "great geniuses" had predicted the direct contrary. Upon the whole, the Duke of Wellington's speech, to which these remarks refer, is satisfactory so far as it goes. If, to the information that no tricks were to be tried, no experiments practised, in the funds or on the finances, he had added the assurance (that assurance the fulfilment of which in his case may be almost considered as citing dicto), that needless establishments would be cut down, tasteless extra vagance controlled, and annual expenditure dimi nished, and the poor supplied with corn at the cheapest rate, it would have left the nation nothing to desire.—lbid. The Lord Chancellor's Bill for creating a new Equity Judge having been withdrawn for the pre sent Session, that appointment which rumour va riously destined will not immediately take place.— Changes of a considerable nature in the legal depart ment are, however, forthwith to be made. It is understood to be settled, strange as it may seem, that Sir W. D. Best is to leave the Common Pleas, and, with a Peerage, to take upon him the Deputy- Speakership of the House of Lords ! His promotion makes way for Sir Nicholas Tindal, who will be come Chief Justice of the Common Pleas, and so leave the office of Attorney-General open to Sir J. Scarlett. In the contemplation of these arrange ments, which would create a vacancy in the repre sentation of the University of Cambridge, several persons have been mentioned as likely to be compe titors for that honour :—Mr. Goulburn, whose official station as Chancellor of the Exchequer would have ensured his success, had not his recent acquiescence in the liberal measure of Ministers indisposed the High Church party towards him; Mr. Cavendish, the heir to the title and estates of Devonshire—a very young man, who lately took the degree of a Second Wrangler ; Mr. Frederick Pollock, who has been recently named as likely to be Solicitor-General. This gentleman now fills the office of Commissary in the University, which is in the gift of the Chancellor (the Duke of Glouces ter), by whom he is supported. Mr. Pollock is further recommended as having taken the highest University honours. He was a Senior Wrangler.— To these names, that of one of the Messrs Bankett is to be added, but which of them nobody seems to know; and as they are alike devoid of just pre tensions, it seems a matter of perfect indifference.— Morning Chronicle. The conduct of Mr. Nash formed the subject of warm discussion last night in the House of Commons. Colonel Davies confined himself simply to moving " That a Select Committee be appointed to inquire into the conduct of Mr. Nash, so far as regarded the granting of leases, or the sale of Crown lands in Suffolk-street, Pall-mall East, in Regent -street, and adjoining the Regent's Canal." Sir M. White Ridley, on the part of Mr. Nash, expressed great anxiety that the charges aga'nst him should be in vestigated thoroughly ; and Mr. Jones, on the part of Mr. Edwards, whose name had been introduced into the discussion of •Mondrsy night' in connection with Mr. Nash, said he could assure the Honourable Member for Worcester (Colonel Davies), that he himself, as well as the Honourable Member for Newcastle, knew something of the transaction ; and that Mr. Nash's character stood fully as high as that of the Honourable Member for Worcester himself, and Mr. Edwards's also." Mr. Huskisson said " the Honourable Member for Worcester had ob served, on a former night, that he had his information on undoubted authority, but that he was not at li berty to name his informant. If the Committee were granted, all he (Mr. Huskisson) should pray was; that the informant as well as the party might be brought both fairly before the House, arid that there would be no attempt to evade the detection of the informant by the charm of secrecyovhile the other party was dragged before the Committee to be ex amined. He would tell the Hon. Member for Worcester, that when the Committee Was named, that anonymous informant should appear. (Hear, hear!)" It is, no doubt, proper that individuals should not be loosely asailed in the House of Com mons. But we do not see the propriety of this minatory language in the outset. Of course Colo nel Davies would not think of moving for a Com mittee to investigate into the conduct of Mr. Nash, without being prepared to submit to the Committee evidence in support of the accusation. It is quite time enough to talk big when Mr. Nash has made his appearance and no accusers have been produced. We never like this big language before hand. It is exactly the language that a man conscious of some thing wrong would use, in order to deter .his assails ants. The tone of triumph is most in place when the accusation has been preyed groundless. After all, the conduct of Mr. Nash in the matters alluded to is a very secondary matter. The great affair is the trickery (for it deserves no other name) by which the nation has been choused out of such an enormous sum of money for the erection of un un sightly edifice. Mr. Nash is but an instrument, and no one dares to point to the party really in fault.—lbid. It is almost ridiettlons now to talk of the reporting the debates in Parliament as being a breach of privi lege; the plain truth being, that the speeches that are made there are, in fact, quite as much addressed to and intended for the eye of the many, as for the ear of the comparative few who hear them. What passes in Parliament has long since become, and is, in fact, the food and foundation of history. Members themselves take up and comment upon the report of each father's speeches as authentic documents, which the whole world, in fact, looks to as the only touch stone of truth in the midst of those vague surmises and mistakes with which every other source of poli tical information abounds. Surely them it is the more to be lamented that those on whom the litho rious and important duty devolves of reporting to the present and to future ages what passes in the Legislature should be so situated, as to obtain that so imperfectly, and as it were bystealth, on theaccuracy of which not only the truth of future history, but so many present interests, depend. In all the efforts of human -intellect (and we say it advisedly, and with pride and satisfaction), there is none more astonish ing than the accuracy with which the debates in Parliament are given, considering the difficulties and disadvantages under which those who execute the task labour. This difficulty has of late years, and especially during the present Session, been much enhanced by the low tone of voice in which many persons in Parliament now deliver their sentiments. We trust it is no breach of privilege, or even affront to Members, to,say, that if they mean, as they evi dently do, that their sentiments should go forth accurately to the world, they should be delivered in a tone of voice which the faculty of bearing may reach. Nor is it, we trust, any affront to both Houses of Parliament to say, or indeed on the part of the country to demand, that they should be con sistent with themselves, and that if they speak, as they manifestly, do, to t h e wor ld , t h at t h ose w h o are to be their reporters should be placed in situa tions to enable them to be faithful ones.—Morning Vera.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, MAr 27. THE KING V. HUMPHREY PRICE, CLERK. The defendant, who had been convicted at the last Hereford assizes, of having published a series of libels, reflecting on the conduct of the High Bailiff and Magistrates of the town of Kidderminster, and also certain inflammatory addresses to the carpet weavers in that place, tending to excite them to a continuance of the outrages which they had engaged in in the early part of the last year, came up, at the sitting of the Court this morning,to receive judgment. Lord TENTERDEN intimated, that owing to the great pressure of business at this period of the term, it would be impossible to take the case until next term. They would at once postpone the case till the first Thursday in the next term. The defendant, who appeared satisfied with this arrangement, then withdrew. DOE, EX DEM. WOOD AND OTHERS, V. BRENTON AND OTHERS. In this case, in a former term, a rule nisi had been obtained on the part of • the defendants, to stay the proceedings in this action until the costs of a former action, brought by the late Mr. Joshua Rowe to try the same right and question (the right to certain mines in Cornwall) as in this action, had been paid. Mr. GURNEY and Mr. FOLLETT now showed cause against the rule. Sir J. SCARLETT (with whom was Mr. DAM.. PIER), in support of the rule, entered into a short detail of the proceedings which had taken place within the last eight years respecting the right to the Cornwall mines and minerals. The present ac tion was brought by Benjamin Wood (►he person who had brought two former actions) and several other persons, and the cause of action was the same as in the former ejectment. The defendant had been already put to an expense of about 10,0001. by the proceedings adopted in these cases: and it was now for the Court to say whether, under all the circum stances, the parties ought to be allowed to proceed further without either paying the costs already in curred, or finding some - secnrity for the payment. The. COURT thought, that as another action was now pending which it was intended to take down for trial at the next assizes, the best way of dispo sing-of the matter now would be to enlarge the rule till Michaelmas Term, and to- stay the proceedings in the mean time.—Rule discharged accordingly.

RACTEII, 081 HIGHWOOD HILL, has for many years been proverbial, no less for ita external appearance, than the very great conveniences which will be found to preside throughout the interior of this favoured retreat; it is judiciously seated on a lofty and command ing spot, giving very great facility to views which can hardly be surpassed in any part of England. THE TERRACE WALK is of considerable extent, and adorned by a multitudinous collection of all that is rare and estimable in plants and flowering Shrubs. The Kitchen Gardens are extensive, and the fruit trees prolific, and of the best kind. THE PLEASURE GROUNDS AND SHRUBBERY WALKS EXTEND NEAR ONE MILE, and ate well sheltered from the north and easterly winds, and it would almost appear, from the extraordinary tact that is manifest every where, that the genius of Repton must have been enlisted into the service; it was from this interesting spot that LADY RUSSELL dated her memorable letters.

Mr. TAUNTON showed cause against a rule nisi, obtained on a former day by Mr. Campbell, for leave to exhibit a criminal information against Mr. Pelley, a Magistrate of the county of Gloucester. The Learned Counsel observed, that this application arose out of a conviction, under the Game Laws, of a Mr. Robert Saunders, an attorney of Bristol, on whose affidavit the rule had been obtained. Rule discharged—Mr. Pelley paying the Cogs. THE KING V. JOHN FISHER AND OTHERS. Mr. BROUGHAM moved to make absolute the rule obtained by him last term, for a criminal informa tion against John Fisher, Hobert Alexander:: and George Gate'', the printer, publisher, and proprie tors of the Morning Journal newspaper. Sir J. SCARLETT, for the defendants, said, that this was a rule obtained at the instance of Viscount Itabayana, the Ambassador from his Majesty the Emperor of the Brazils to the Court of London, for a criminal information against the defendants for a paragraph published in their Paper reflecting on the conduct of his Excellency. He could not deny that .the paragraph. was libellous, and he was now authorized by the defendants to state their convic tion that the statement it contained was unfounded, and to express their sorrow for having published un founded aspersions on the prirate character of the Ambassador. The defendants humbly hoped that the Court wo•ild think this apology sufficient to jus tify his Excellency in forbearing to rress to have the rule made absolute. Mr.' BROUGHAM, on the part 'of Viscount Ita bayana, was disposed to accept this as a sufficient apology, though it came very late. The Court, in discharging the rule, would of course order the de fendants to pay the whole of the costs. Lord TENTERDEN—Yes ; let the rule be dis charged, the defendants.paying the costs. Rule discharged accordingly. To-morrow (this day) being Ascension-day, the Court will not sit. THE KING V. CAPEI. The defendant, who was convicted at the last AAsizes for Hertford of an assault upon Mr. John Parkes, was brought up for judgment. The assault in question was that of breaking a fishing-rod be longing .to the prosecutor, who - was angling in a stream which ran through defendant's grounds, who is Vicar of Watford, Herts. The Court ordered him to be fined sixpence and discharged. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, MA T 27. STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS. In the course of an argument to set aside a judg- ment on the ground of irregularity, allusion was made to the defendant having pleaded the statute of limitations, which led to a long argument, in the opinion of the Judges as to the validity of such a plea twing a complete bar to an action. Mr. Baron GARROW said the Judges were now unanimous on this point, that the statute of limita. tions was the best possible receipt a man could have. He remembered Lord Kenyon once sayi ng , t h at after six years he thought it would be prudent in any person to destroy all his receipts. The Court afterwards heard a few motions, and then adjourned, COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, MAY 1. EVERETT V: DESBOROUGO. Mr. Seijeant WILDE resumed his argument in this case to-day in support of the verdict of the Jury, contending that as there had been no misre presentation ou the part of the plaintiff, the policy was good, and he was entitled to recover. Mr. Serjeunt MEREWETLIER replied. Rule absolute for a nonsuit. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, MAY 27. Joseph Manton, the celebrated gun-maker, came up to be heard upon his petition. His debts, as stated in his schedule, amounted to 20,000/., but the actual amount of debts contracted by him since his bankruptcy in 1826, was not more than between 5,000/. aHd 6,000/. Upon obtaining his certificate, he entered into business again, having been assisted with 700/. by a Mr,. Wilkinson (described as a widow), who had formerly lived as a nurse-maid in his family. The discharge of the insolvent was op posed by Mr. Todd, a wine -merchant, in John -street, Adelphi. The opposition, however, was not of that nature to warrant the prisoner's detention, and the Court accordingly decided that he was entiiled to the benefit of the Act. He was cautioned, how- ever, not to appear again in that Court, unless the usual time had elapsed from one period of insolvency to another. IN THE MATTER OF SAMUEL SEABOCRN, AN INSOL• VENT. Mr. Coosa, on behalf of Mr. Brown, Warden of the Fleet prison, appeared to show cause against a rule obtained upon a former day, calling upon that gentleman to show cause why he should not be committed to prison for contempt, in having refused to obey the order of the Court, which directed the discharge of the above-named insolvent. The learned counsel, after adverting to the vague man ner in which the report was drawn up, and to the falsehoods contained in the insolvent's affidavit, pro ceeded to argue that the proper place had not been chosen to bring this question to an issue. Mr. Brown held his appo:ntment under letters patent granted by the Crown, and by virtue of an act of Parliament passed in the reign of George H., enti tled " The Lords' Act." In the Hilary term of the 30th of Geo. 11., certain rules and regulations were made by the Judges of the Common Pleas, for the government of the Fleet prison. By the fifth of these rules any prisoner who refused or was unable to pay chamber.rent, might be turned out in the common wards; and the sixth rule said, that ... the warden shall have liberty to detain the pert of prisoners until all fees were paid by them. c d learned counsel, in supp or t o f hi s ar guments c h ip the case of Roehfort, in the Common Pk. , o f which the Court laid it down, that the War d44l Ld the Fleet prison was perfectly justified in demon" fees of prisoners. Mr. CRESWELL followed on the same side. , be Mr. DUNN, contra, urged that the rule sho ul d made absolute. The simple question was this—lis Mr. Brown justified, a y e or no , i n i m prisoning `...i insolvent for the amount of his fees, and did lie ',— thereby incur contempt ? The Learned Gentle.; in speaking of th e r ul es an d regu l at i ons made by e ' Court of Common Pleas, conten d e d that no J had the power to order the imprisonment of al ; • • dividual who was lib era t e d f rom cus t o dy by v of an Act of Parliament.

They therefore decided, that the W 6 A le' was not guilty of the alleged contempt. The '''' was therefore discharged, but without costs.. THE MARKETS. COAL MAN. Adair'a Yl4. Bd.
