Mr. HoRNE observed, he was in hopes the' Court would not be troubled with the matter again. He Wieved the parties were endeavouring to compro mise it, and was instructed to ask that the case might stand over generally. IN Tug MATTER. OF JONItS, A BANKRUPT.. . . In this case the bankrupt had been committed by the Commissioners., for not satisfactorily answering questions that were put to him by them. It was stated that this bankrupt had abstracted property, and had torn leaves from his books. Some time since an application was made to the Court - for hie discharge, when his Lordship taking all the facts into his consideration, thought proper to remand the bankrupt. It now appeared that his brother had torn the leaves from the book, and was willing to be examined. The questions now were as to the discharge of- the bankrupt; whether he should pay' the expenses under the Commission, which in eon.; sequence of the Commissioners declining to take any fees, amounted to the small sum of 315., or whether it should be•borne by the assignees who had no pro perty of the bankrupt's in their possession. Mr. KNIGHT to-day applied again for the bank rupt's discharge, considering the length of his im prisonment (upwards of twelve months) an expia tion of any offence he had been guilty of towards the Commissioners. Mr. ROSE opposed the application on the part of the assignees. his LORDSHIP thought, taking the length of time, the bankrupt had been incarcerated into considera tion, ►•poplcd with the circumstances of his brother being willing to he examined with respect to the books, that it was but justice for biro to recommend the Commissioners to have the bankrupt brought before them again, in order that he might lee dis charged. • ROLLAND, IN THE MATTER OF MAR.SII, STRACEr, AND CO., BANKRUPTS. Mr. SUoDEN applied upon motion in this case for a variation of the order prononneed by the Court a short time since. The prayer of that rtirion was, that the Corti would either order the expulsion of the proof of a debt of upwards of 17,000/., created through the forgeries of Fauntleroy, or give the parties liberty to fie a bill in this Court. his Lordship in giving judgment, the Learned Counsel thought, had altogether lost sight of the fact, that the prayer was in the alternative. His Lordship's judg ment on nanktuptcy was final, and the questions at issue were of as great impcn tancc as sliy that before the court. The learned Counsel was sore that his Lordship would he as glad that his decision as a single Judge, should be subject to revision before a higher tribunal, as any one could he. The ob ject here was not delay, but to situ;', if pos;"i ble, all _ r _harries. Mr. MONTA2HIE and Mr. KNIGHT followed . on the same side. Mr. Hoßsr, Mr. BICKURSTETH, avid Mr. Pim,- LIMORE opposed the motion. His LORDSFHP personally would feel great relief if his decision had to be submitted to a Court of Ap peal. In the judgment he had lately pronounced, he had net lost sight of the prayer being in the alterna tive ; but considered, in giving that, judgment, he decided the whole ca,e. His opinion upon the pre sent motion clearly was that it must be dismissed with costs. COURT OF KING'S BENCH. The Court was oceupied the whole of the morn ing in trying an indictment for a nuisance against the keeper of a slaughter-house. There was no interest whatever in the case. COURT OP COMMON PLEAS. CARTER V. CARTER AND OTHERS. Thia was an action for a trespass, brought : by Charles Carter, in forma patiperit, against Robert Carter, sea., for hat ing taken his goods under a warrant of disti ess, for rent which was not due. Mr. Sergeant ANDREWS and Mr. CHITTY con ducted the case for the plaintiff, and Mr. Sergeant WILDE and Mr. KELLY appeared for the defendant. The-following were the principal circumstances of the case :--The defendant bad let to the plaintiff a house in Drury-court, of which- the Duke of Bed ford was ground larallord, at a yearly rent of 501. The rent not being paid, he sent in a broker, and a man named Wilson was left in possession. Soon afterwards the rent was paid, bid Wilson continued to reside in the house of the plaintiff, who was subsequently obliged to take the benefit of the Insolvent Debtor's Act. Prior to his going to 'nisei' WilSon bought his furniture and other fix tures for 281., and. remained in the house until the. plaintiff was *released, when he gave him up his house, and his furniture and fixtures also, upon re ceiving back from an made of the plaintiff's the 28/. he paid for them. Some time afterwards the defen dant sent to demand half-a-year's rent, upon which Wilson, who was still in the house, said that none was due to him, for that he (Wilson) hall arranged with the Duke of Bedford for the house. The de fendant, however, insisted upon having the rent, and sent his son, with a broker, to dement! it. They_ saw Wilson and the plaintiff's wife, who tendered to them two receipts for ground-rent paid to the Duke of Bedford, to the amount of 171. and 61. 10s. in milt, besides three receipts for the land -tax, making together somewhat more than the. half-year's rent claimed. These receipts were rejected and the de fendant refused to take anything but the full amount in money, and the execution was levied accordingly. The man in possession remained for eighteen days, at the end of which time the goods were condemned for 10/. which sum Wilson paid. This was the trespass complained of, and 'Wilson was the prin cipal witness who proved the ease. Mr. Seigeant WILoa contended that Wilson's evidence was not to be relied on, for, by his own showing, his change of circumstances was . most ex traordinary. He went into the plaintiff's house as a broker's man, after which they found him buying his goods on the ere_ of his going to prison, and subsequently restoring them back when he came out. Instead of being the servant of the plain tiff it appeared, that the plaintiff was now re siding in his house as his servant. The truth was that he became the instructor of the plaintiff, and the action was in reality that of Wilson, and not of Charles Carter. He would however call Robert. Carter, jun., and two other witnesses, who would wholly disprove Wilson's testimony as to the tender of the receipts, and then confidently submit his case to the Jury. The Learned SERGEANT then called three wit nesses, but they rather strengthened than weakened the case for the plaintiff. The CRIEF JUSTICE charged the Jury, that they believed Wilson's evidence as Co the re purchase of the goods by the plaintiff on his leaving prison, the action was maintainable, and they would then give such damages as the case seemed to them to requiie. They should give something for the injury which the plaintiff must have sustained in his business ftom suet proceedings. The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff. --Da mages, SOL Mr. Secretary Peel entertained the Duke of Wellington and a *Acct party to dinner on Saturday, at his reiiirnce in Privy Gardrtip.

Justice PARK.) Pagi. was convicted of burgleriously en teritig the: honse of Sarah Anti Barnet, of Frier's, Robert Bai.lon - was iedieted for tittering a forged cheque on Masterman and Co., with intent to de fraud them; and the prisoner was also charged on outer counts with intending to defraud Thomas Paul. 'Dir. CARRINGTON stated the case to the Jury, and Mr. CLARKSON defended the prisoner. Thomas Pnul was at the office of the King's College, in Patliament-street, on the 30th of Octo ber last. The prisoner came into the office, and asked for a prospectus for a Mr. Robert Grant, of St. John's Wood, and went away, but shortly after wards returned, and said that he was directed by Mr. Robert Grant to pay in. a donation for the King's College of 51., at the same time tendering a cheque for 101. on Messrs: Masterman. Witness gave him 51. in change, and. on presenting the cheque, discovered. that no such person as a Mr. Robert Grant kept cash there. By Mr. CuttmeoN, for the prisener.--It was in a bark room that the office is kept, and the weather was rather. haeyat the time he received the cheque from the prisoner. The cheque is dated 30th Octo ber, 1828. A clerk of Messrs. 'Masterman proved that no Robert Grant had kept cosh at their house for the last 15 years. Robert Clements, a police-officer, had etiqu'red in St. John's Wood, and could find no such person there us Robert Grant. Alfred ToPper e the postman of St. John's Wood, deposed to the same fact. Mr. Robert Drees Grant resides in-the Regent'e parle; 'Lever kept cash at Masterman's house, or signed such a cheque as that produced. Thos. Paul recalled and examined by Mr. CLARK so.—llad been repaid the 51. which he had given the prisoner in change, and had not been the loser of it himself. The prisoner then produced a very copious \vi it ten defence, which he was preparing to read, whoa Mr. CLARKSON, his Counsel, requested leave of the Court to he allowed to look over it before the prisoner reed it. Mr. Justice PARK recommended it most strongly; but the prisoner declined allowing his Counsel to see it, and commenced reading. He ,lid not eppear to think that it was at ail necessary to exculpate him self from the present charge, but entered into a long tirade against the false notions at present entertained respecting the crime of obtaining mceey on instru ments not bearing the name of any livieg person. Mr. :it:slice PARK informed him seeee r' to be lubouriuj under a great fallacy ; that it i.Ati J,ecn decided 70 years ago that the clime of uttc.ing a cheque, bearing the name O'r' person who did nut exist, Nvas just es mirdi a forgery as if his (Mr. Jus tice Park's) mane had been used. The prisoner then compared the crime of forgery with that of murder, seduction, housebreaking, and high Way rubbery, and attempted to prove by the most phrenzicd sophistry, that it was productive, but of little injury to society, either as a Moral or mer cantile crime. lie accused the clerk (Paul) of great negligence in being so foolish as to take a draft from a stranger. Mr. Justice PARK explained to the Jury that the • magnitude of the crime or the propriety of the re ' sent laws on the subject were not under their con sideration. The fact they had to try was, whether the prisoner had uttered this cheque with intent to defraud. 'The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty. The prisoner then wished to retract the plea of not guilty to two other indictments for similar offences, and to plead guilty. Mr. Justice PARK cautioned him that with three such convictions he could not expect nine') mercy. The prisoner persisted, arid the verdicts were re. corded. (Before - Mr. Baron TAUGITAN.) ALLEGED MURDER. James Steward, aged about 23, was . indicted for ‘..e wilful murder of James Soppet, at Kensington, on the 24th of December list, by wilfully driving a cart against the right side of his head. Mr. ADOLPHUS and Mr. BOLLAND conducted the prosecution, and Mr. LAW and Mr. CLARKSON the defence. Mr. ADOLPHUS stated to the Jury that this case came before them in rather an unusual manner, in asmuch as that the Coroner's Jury had returned a verdict of manslaughter, and the Grand Jury had fousrd a hill for murder. The Learned Counsel then detailed the facts, and called the following witnesses : Maria Soppet, the widow of the deceased, James Soppetovae walking with him at Teddington, on the 24th of December; it was about half-past live, and twilight. Deceased was about four yards behind her. Saw a cart meeting them at full gallop; a woman on the road cried out, and witness turned round, and saw her husband lying on the road ; he never rose again alive. By Mr. Law—Her husband was not in her view. Teddington church-yard has some white torah-stones projecting close to the road, about 200 yards - from the spot. First saw her husband lying on the road, and not the footpath. Deceased had been a whole sale grocer, was an elderly man, and lived on his property. Her husband was in the act of crossing at the time of the accident. Jonathan King, a fisherman, of Twickenham, was present on the road ; saw a cart and horse pass the church-yard; the horse took fright at some tomb stones, and the man in the cart struck the horse over the head or neck ; this was 250 yards or more from the place of the accident; when the horse was struck he was gullopping as hard as he could; heard a woman scream out and witness ran to the place. Wm. Turner showed witness a man lying on the road; witnesslifted the man out of the road on to the path; the man stopped the horse and returned to the man; witness said when he lifted him up, that the man was dead; the man in the cart replied, " Is he by —!" could not see the prisoner's face, it was too. dark ; the man in the cart asked William Turner if he would go into the village for the surgeon. Turner refused, and the man then asked witness, who also refused, saying perhaps he might kill him. The man then said that he might be then, and said something about seeking redress, and used a most contemptuous expression, and rode off. This witness prevaricated and hesitated so much that the learned Judge, Mr. Baron 'VAUGHAN, ex amined him closely as to whether he had had any communication with the prisoner since, the Grand Jury had found the bill. By Mr. CLARKSON—There is an awkward turtl ing at the church-yard, the tombstones were very likely to frighten horses; witness had seen many horses shy them. When prisoner struck the horse the latter had shyed, and was running out of the road, when the prisoner struck it on the side of the head, to bring it hack. The part of the road where the accident happened was so dark, from the trees and wood, that a person who was en gaged with iris horse could. not have seen a person in the road. The body was lying on the left side of the read, with the feet about a yard from the path.. Before the prisoner had abused witness. and the others, wit - aess abused the prisoner, before he replied contemptuously. Before the horse shyed it was trotting gently. Esther O'llarow was walking along the road, close to Mr. Soppct. She saw a cart coming at a furious rate. Mr. Soppet was crossing from one footpath to .another when the horse knocked him down. Could only sea the cart for twelve yards before it got up to her. The man turned his cart, and witness told him he had done murder, and begged him not to rim over him again. A man then picked up Mr. Soppet, and abused the prisoner, who replied, that they might seek a recompense and be —, arid might cash him if they could. He offered before that to take either of the men in his cart for a surgeon; but they refused to go with him, anti went by there• SC!UCS. It was the clearest part of the road, whtire there were no trees. Mrs. Soppet asked for the pismires address, but did not get ft. NV. Turner deposed ti , nt when the prisoner had offered to t:ike iiher of the men xli h him for a sm.- roil, and they had refused, he replied _that they might do their best and their worst, and catch him if they could. Mr. Bdron VAUGHAN here intimated to the Jury that it would not be safe, in the administration of justice, even to convict the prisoner of manslaughter, under the evidence that the horse was actually frightened. The Jury returned a verdict of acquittal, and the LearnelJudge cautioned the prisoner as to his driv ing in future. NEW COURT. Hannah Goodman, aged 2S, a good•looking young woman, was indicted for marrying William Eagles, the 15th September last, her former husband, Henry Goodman, being at that time alive. Mary Goodman deposed, that she was present at the marriage of her son with the prisoner, on the the 4th June last ; the ceremony took place at St. Martin's Old Church, Birmingham ; her son was now alive. By. the Prisoner—Pray was not your son a married man, at the time? Witness—No, certainly not; he had been married and lived six years with his wife, but she was dead at that time. Prisoner—How do von know that ? Witness— I was with his wife when she died. William Eagles, a respectable looking man, proved that, from the prisoner's.earnest solicitations, he was induced to marry her. The ceremony took place at St. Martin's Church,, Middlesex, on the 15th Sep tetnber. last. • The pri*nner, in her defence, stated that her first husband had a wife, by whom he ha 4 two children, living in London at the time she married Eagles ; she therefore conceived that she had a right to marry again. • The Jury, without a moment'd hesitation, returned a verdict of Guilty. The following prisoners were convicted during Saturday of larcenies, but their cases possessed no feature of public interest :—Ann Gooseberry, John Brigden, Eliza Anthony, George ling, George Gardner, Robert Newman, John Walbrook, James Nurlev, and Thomas Bray. The following were acquitted :—Williarn and John Leggett, and Charles, Wheeler. ROWLAND STEPHENSON. Mr. TALFoRtO entered the Coot in the course of the morning, and, said he was instructed by a gen lem&D, whose name ;lid :mz transpi:e, to ask the ad vice of the Court under the following circum stances :—A bill for felony was about to be pre senteti to the Grand Jury against Rowland Stephen son, and his Mr. Talford's) client was one amotT.st many ether tmfortunates who had *uttered by that person's delinquencies,, having been the loser of Exchequer Bills to a considerable amount, which had been taken off by Stephenson, Mr. Gates, therefore had subpranaed him to appear before the Grand Jury to give evidence, and he was informed t h a t if he did, it would materially prejudice his claim as to any future legal proceedings he might think necessary to adopt. He had objected to give evidence, and he understood an application would he made to the other Courts in the courxe of the day to compel him to av_:..nd. Ustder these circum stances he wished to ask the advice of the Court how ho should act. The COMMON SERGEANT said he could not give any advice on the subject ; the gentleman knew the consequences of not attending the subptena, and he was the best judge whether or not it would be to his interest in obeying it. Ile could give no opinion as to whether it would prejudice any future legal proceedings. EXECUTIONS THIS MORNING AT lIORSEMONGER-LANE. The extreme w.ntence of the law was this morning carried into effect on John Jardine and Daniel Page on the top of the county-gaol of Snrrey, both convicted at the last King ston Assizes. The former was condemned to death for having administered a dose of arsenic to his wife with in, tent to poison her ; and the latter for horse-stealing, a crime which has of late been carried to a very great ex tent in Surrey. Jardine is the first, we belies's, who has been executed under the new enactment of the 9th Geo. IV• cap. 91, which renders capital the attemi t to take away life. At about nine o'clock the procession moved on, and Jar dine was the first to ascend the staircase leading to the top of the gaol ; he was firm and composed. Page ascended next but trembled excessively. The whole of the awful preparations haying been fully completed, the signal wax given, and the unhappy men were ushered into another world. Jardine died instantaneously, but Page was a thin man and suffered for a few minutes. The intense cold and fog of the morning prevented a numerous attendance of persons to witness the execution ; indeed the air wax so thick as to prevent a sight of the awful ceremony being seen from the street. Rear-Admiral Baker, C. 8., is appointed to succeed Sir Hobert W. Otway, K.C.B. as Commander-in- Chief on the Sonth Ameriein station, and will hoist his flag on board - the Worapite, 76, at Plymouth, the com mand of which is given to Captain W. H. Shirreff. Lieutenant James Henderson (a) is appointed the Mr spite on her being recommissioned. Captain Devonshire the officers of the Warspite are to be removed to the Kent, 74, at Plymouth. _ - - It has been reported that the Governor of the Bank of Ireland, who ban been in Lcndon for some days, and has had interviews during that time with the Chan cellor of the Exchequer, is connected with some apprehen sions entertained by the managers of that establishment that • the excited state of political feeling among the Catho lics -aid produce a run upon it. The Directors of the Bank of England, we undtrstand, have also horn cunsultad respecting the course most proper to be pursued in the emergency. It does•not appear that the alarm felt by the managers of the Bank of Ireland is participated in by those to whom it has been communicated, but it is believed that measures of precaution, suited to the occasion, have been taken by those more immediately concerned, and that some of the large sales of stock which have lately taken place hare originated in that quarter. The circumstance is at tracting much attention in the city, where it is univer'sally felt that we have difficulties enough to -contend, with in regard to - the circulation, without creating a new one, aris ing out of the unhappy policy pursued towards Ireland. Of the solvency and ample means possessed by the Bank of Ireland to taut tiny claims open it, no doubt is entertained in any quarter ; but as the expected run can only be guarded against by an ample supply of gold, the abstrac tion of it might disturb the currency in London, at a time when full employment of it from other• causes seems to be hand.— Times. MR. BRANSI3I COOPER.-LITHOTOMY We are not in the habit of directing attention to the opera tions which we place en record in the usual routine of our hospital reports, but the circumstances under which Mr. Cooper is placed are so peculiar as to warrant the infringe ment of a general rule. After what has so recently occurred, any thing unusual in a case of this nature, — any diffieulty, any delay, though perhaps in no degree de pendent upon him, would have been his ruin; no ex cute would have been received, no explanation have saved him from the inevitable consequence—the total wreck of his surgical reputation. When this is considered, it will he felt that it required nerves of iron to carry a man through the ordral which awaited Mr. cooper on ' Tuesday last. He had to perform the operation of litho tomy on a subject by no means favourable, in the presence ~.;- :1 l'lnatre crowded with spectators, and with the, public eye fixed upon him. He did perform the operation, and tee must car, tinder such circumstances, with admirable coolness and self possession. His manner was calm, and ids hand was steady, amid the anxious looks and trembling auxi,:ty of his friends, and complete success rewarded his efforts.- The operation was performed it; a few minutes, and a large ceculus removed.—Medical Gazette. Bunt:E.—We learn, on good authority, ' hat Burke Las addressed a letter to the Lord Provost, ex treshing his desire to make a full disclosure of his crimes to a profer.sion ii gvntletnan whom he has named, with tha view of their bring published to the world. Thinking, as we do, that sorb a disclosure is due to the public, and would tio a goad deal to t-anquillize public feeling, we • hope the request will be grented.....Scommen. THE MAR(TS.-;-(THIS DAY.) COM-EXCHANGE The supplies of last week, ohiefly foreign, were aga'..i considerable, and abundance of Fleur was also repotted This ruornio-; the samples of fresh et market are ineoesi &rattle. lize foggy state of the It cattier has prevented our buyers front making many pntehattes.
