LONDON : TUESDAY EVENING NOVEMBER 7. 1937. New York Papers from the 9th to the IGth ult. in clusive have been received this morning. On the 11th the Treasury Notes Bill passed the Senate— havii.g previously passed the House of Representa tives—by a majority of 35 votes against li. It was subsequently approved of by the PRESIDENT, and orders given for the first issue of the Government paper. In the House of Representatives the Bill had a narrow escape , h av i ng fi na ll y passe d b y a majority of 127 votes a ,, ainst 98. Thus the schemes of the Executive have all ended in the establishment of a new paper currency—:a currency, too, liable to much greater objections than were ever urged against the issues of the National Bank. The Duty Bonds Postponement Bill, by the provisions of which credit is allowed upon all imports to the Ist inst., for periods of from three to six months, with a further privilege of renewal, has also received the sanction of the PRESIDENT. With regard to the new Bills about to be issued by the Treasury, it is proposed that thefirst issue shall bear only two per cent. interest ; in order that the interest on the remaining issues may be raised, in the event of the paper becoming depreciated. We look upon the whole proceedings as the prelude to the establishment of a national system of banking throughout the United States—for the merest political tyro must have long since convinced himself that the metallic currency scheme of President JACKSON was one of the most mischievous, as well as ridiculowi PRICH . ..“ B ..,k gt h .,,,, ...... 8 aer ie,t. -.-, 3 per .

The tyranny thus exorcised, rigorous aodi cruel as it was, failed of its object, and has entailed upon its perpetrators the usual consequences of unsuc cessful crime. It has excited the abhorrence of all right thinking men, whom it has leagued together by their common lore of virtue, as well as by a regard to the best interests of their common country, to inter pose the shield of protection between the oppress..] and the oppressor, and to vindicate the honour of the Bri tish nation from the disgrace which has bee❑ brought upon it by the minions of a sordid and worthless faction. Among the converts to the Ballot we are extremely glad to be able to enrol the venerable name of Lord DINOHBEN. At a public dinner given by the Refor mers of Flintshire last week to their late representative, the Hon. E. Al. LLOYD MosTY tsT, a report of which will be found clsewhere in our paper, Lord DINURBEN made a speech which we are sure will thrill through the heart of every Reformer that reads it. Who is there that does not feel his spirit refreshed and his principles in vigorated by such enlightened, patriotic, and truly noble sentiments as those which are embodied in the following passage :—" The elective franchise has been held by some to be a privilege ; by others it has been he!cl to be a duty. I believe it to be both one and the other—(Hear, hear)—a privilege to support our own, and a duty to guard and protect the rights and liberties of our country. — (Applause.) But if this right is to be exercised only at the bidding of another, you are not free agents ; there is no expression of public opinion ; your voice is but the type of ,ervility—the echo of an oligarchy. — (Applause.) Corruption, Sirs, has been too strong for the legislature, and things have been brought to a pass that loudly calls for reformation.—( Loud applause.) But where is the remedy for the wrongs of which we complain ?—(Hear, hear.) I cannot find it. The weak must be protected against the oppression of the powerful—(Hear, hear)—and I am compelled to join the ranks of those who seek for that protection in the Ballot." When the Noble Lord uttered this declara tion, the whole company rose as one man, and gave three rounds of cheers—cheers which, while they indicate the deep feeling of the people on this now vital question, speak of nothing but swift destruction to the power of the Tories. We advise these infatuated men to look upon this demonstration of the popular sentiment as one of those signs of the times which they will do well not to neglect. " I would" continued Lord DINORBEN, " couple that (the Ballot) with the household fran chise._(Hear, hear.) Of household franchise, I have always been a warm friend ; but I confess that I have been a late, and perhaps reluctant, convert to the Ballot.—( Hear, hear.) But though late and re luctant, I assure you I shall not be a less zealous advo .. cate." We sincerely hope the beautiful example of Lord DINORBEN will be followed by many more of our nobility. It may perhaps be in the recollection of such of our readers as are curious to see how Conservatives disport themselves on public occasions after dinner, that Mr. CoLQUHOUN, who simultaneously contrived to squeeze himself in, and Dr. BOWRING out of the representation of the Kilmarnock boroughs, delivered himself some weeks ago of an oratorical monstrosity, a sort of lin gual iusus, besmeared with bigotry and buffoonery, and spotted all over with the hereditary sins of igno rance and assumption. Mr. O'CONNELL, it appears, did what, we believe, few persons would undertake ; he read the rambling but illiberal after-dinner speech of the Killermont hero, and having read it, the Hon. and Learned Gentleman has condescended to reply by letter to those points of Mr. CoLQuimus's out pouring which possess any personal interest. Mr. O'CONNELL'S letter is necessarily long, and is, of necessity also, of that politico-polemical character for which the columns of a newspaper may not by all persons be thought the most fitting place. 'We shall, therefore, give only the briefest abstract of the letter before us. After a few very severe prefatory words we meet, in Mr. O'CoNNELL's letter, the following pas sage, which is strongly characteristic of his manner. He writes-- " You. have, it seems, determined not to sit by my side in the House of Commons. " Agreed, Sir, agreed. Ido not indeed know that you would do me any harm if you did sit by me ; but of this I am quite sure, you would not do me any good. As to your sitting part, therefore, Sir, on which you not undes lay such stress, we are heartily agreed. Sit where )ou please so that you sit remote from me." The more essentially controversial portion of Mr. O'CoNNELL's letter commences thus " Ist. You say that lam a keen Roman Catholic!: and that you are a sincere Protestant.' " Sir, I deny both branches of the proposition. I am not a keen Roman Catholic ;' I am, on the contrary, a plain, blunt, unaffected, and most thoroughly convinced Catholic—perfectly submissive to the decisions of that Church which Christ instituted to decide controversies and preserve union. " You, on the other hand, are not a ' sincere Protes tant. 1 undertake, before I close this letter, to demon strate that you arc not sincere as a Protestant. If you were, you would adhere to the Protestant principle, as the Protestant Dissenters do. You are an Established Churchman.' Of this more hereafter." The Hon and Learned Gentleman then proceeds to state in what sense Mr. COLQUIIOUN'S assertion that he (Mr. O'CoNNELL) is " anxious for the exaltation" of the Roman Catholic Church is true, emphatically deprecating any extension of temporal power to his Church by a State endowment. In reference to Mr. COLQUIIOUN'S assumption of beinz, par excellence, a champion of the ProL:stant Church, Mr. O'CONNELL concludes some cognit ob servations in contradiction, by declaring-- " No, Sir, no—you are not sincere in the support of any church. You are for money—for tithes—for church-rates —for compulsory payments—for temporal authority. In deed, indeed, good Sir, you are not sincere in your love for any church." The remaining portion of Mr. O'CON NEL L's argu mentative letter is principally occupied by a discussion on the Bible question. Mr. COLQUIIOUN revived the old story, making it rratter of charge against Mr. O'CoNNELL, and of odium to the Roman Catholic Church, that the latter gentleman was "anxious to gratify his priests by thrusting out the Bible, and keep ing it out of the hands of the people ;" whilst he (Mr. Col,QtmouN) was " anxious that every one of his countrymen should enjoy and preserve the Bible." We shall close our notice of this letter, which has extended far beyond the limits we at first prescribed to ourselves, by giving the following. passages : " I roost highly applaud the plan of National Education established in Ireland. It you would but read the Scripture lessons, and other books used in the schools connected with that plan, you would—if you be candid--at once agree with me, that such plan does prudently, and very wisely, blend the wisdom of man with the word of God: , I thank you fur so accurate a phrase." Mr. O'CoN N ELL concludes by inviting examination into the tenets of his religion, ant] connects with this invitation a consequence from which we must be per mitted to express our dissent. We give the passage, however, and take leave of the subject without further comment : " It is the inquiry which I challenge. That inquiry which, blessed b;.! great God ! is daily diminishing dissent, and augmenting the number of the professors of the Apostolic faith. Every other persuasion is daily complaining- of a falling off, or division. The Catholics alone perceive and avow their augmentation. All, therefore, we can have to wk.h that our reliuiou 'ue known to th;;;. tvi:ich in rt.ality." At a Cabinet Council held in Hanover on the 25th uh., the Ministers in a body tendered their resignations, sooner than countersign a decree for convoking _the States according to the law of 1819—which Minis tetial act would be tantamount to an official abrogation or the Constitution of 1833. King ERNEST was furious at meeting with such strenuous opposition ; but adopting the advice of M. VON SCIIELE, he. at . once accepted the resignations of his Ministers, adding that he would not be driven from his purpose by the 'fears of the timid, or the clamours of an insolent fac tion. His MAJESTY had previously informed his Cabinet, that he would allow the Members of it till the 25th ult. to reflect whether they would or would not sign the R nyal decree for setting aside the Consti tution ; and that whether they signed it or not, he would, on his own responsibility, issue it on the 27th, and look for success to his own firmness, the fidelity of his troops, and the influence.of the Crown in the Electoral Colleges. ERNEST has good reason to an ticipate support even in this stronghold of popular liberty. Since the promulgation of his memorable Decree of the sth of June, his creatures have been employed day and night in bribing, threatening, and corrupting the electoral body. No base device—no lying expedient has been left untried. Corporations have been threatened with the abrogation of their charters, and. Municipalities with the ruin of their trade, in the event of their so voting as to give the shadow of offence to the Royal despot. The army, too, has been augmented, and a reinforcement of 200 troops were ordered to the capital on the Ist instant to quell any popular attempt to uphold the Constitution of the country. The grand struggle is therefore on the eve of its commencement, and we most sincerely hope it will terminate in the overthrow of the tyrant who has provoked it. But whatever be the result, the attempt to overturn the Constitution of Hanover imperatively calls for an Act of the British Parliament-for changing the order of succession to the Crown of this country. If the lineal descendants of JAMES 11. were voted incapable of inheriting the Crown of these realms, by reason of the crimes of one of their ancestors, no Member of the Legislature who approves of that A - et can hesitate to vote for the exclusion of an Heir-pre sumptive, stained with the turpitude of attacking the fundamental laws of a constitutionally free people ? A Legislature that can approve of the exclusion of Prince CHARLES EDWARD, must glory in abrogating the hereditary claims of ERNEST, Duke of CUMBER LAND, and tyrant of Hanover. The Paris Journals of Sunday have all been re ceived. Their contents are unimportant. The elec tions, as we stated yesterday, commenced on Satur day ; but very few members of the electoral body ap peared to trouble their heads about the result. Nearly a fourth of the members of the late Chamber of Depu ties have either been promoted to seats in the House of Peers, or have retired altogether from the candi dateship for seats in the next Chamber. When to this retired list is added the names of such of the late Deputies as shall be rejected by their constituents, it will be found that Ministers and the Court will have an abundance of fresh materials to work upon. The political complexion of the new candidates is decidedly liberal ; though a few of them hesitate not to avow their, attachment to the KING, in preference to the people. In the fourteen electoral colleges of the de partment of the Seine, the preliminary proceedings on Saturday were regarded as especially favourable to the Government candidates. From Spain there is no ne►is of any interest in these Journals ; and the accounts from Africa are still more meagre and unsatisfactory. The annexed paragraphs contain the only extracts interesting to English readers : . According to the Sentinelle des Pyi eenees of the 2d inst., the Christino fort of Inigo had capitulated on the 29th ult., and the garrison, after laying down its arms, had retired to Pampeluna. The next day the Carlists removed the four pieces of artillery of the fort to the valley of Ulzama. Ge neral Bartolome Giubelalde had been relieved in the command of the line, of Andoain by Brigadier Iturizza. On the 26th the junta of Navarre sent round to all the villages a pro clamation to the inhabitants, in which it was stated that all the Cellist deserters at present in Prance, who, in the space of sixteen days, had not presented themselves before the autho rities of their respective districts, would have their property confiscated, and their fathers and friends arrested and brought to the French frontier. It was reported in Bayonne that a new Carlist expedition was preparing to cross the Ebro. The Moniteur of Sunday contains a report on criminal jus tice during the year 1835, addressed to the King by M. Barthe, the Keeper of the Seals. It appears from this docu ment, that out of the 7,233 individuals brought to trial in France during that year for criminal causes, 2,816 were ac quitted. and 4,407 convicted and sentenced to various penal ties; viz.— To death To hard labour for life l5l Ditto for a number of years To seclusion 796 To imprisonment 2,599 To surveillance without any other penalty 9 Children under 16 years of age, sent to I - louses of Correction Total 4,407 El Tiempo, a Cadiz journal, announces that thanks to the firmness of M. Tacos, the new Governor of Ceuta, the Maro. quins whose insolence had so increased as to threaten the place, had consented to the placing of Spanish sentinels on the outer sea line from north to south. There is every reason to believe that our former intercourse with the Maroquins will be soon resumed ; they have withdrawn their forces, and placed their camp in the interior of their empire. Fifteen or twenty Moors are appointed over the guard of the camp. This account has been transmitted to the Governor of Gibraltar for his informa tion. The hostilities had been directed up to this time by the Governor of Amhara, supported by 2,000 men ; those troops of the enemy had occupied the outposts of the place from the 16th of July last. All the remonstrances addressed to Tan gier were of no avail.—Gazette de France. Sir Alexander Grant and Mr. Wilson Croker, wh o proceeded to Put-is to meet Sir Robert Peel on his arrival from Germany, will accompany the Right llon. Bart. to England. Sir Robert is expectea to remain two or three days in Paris, on his route to England. A small body under the denomination of War renites, who some short time ago withdrew from the Me thodists in Pcnrith, were dissolved on Sunday last, from the want of funds, and. the congregation gradually re ducing itself.—Kendal Mercury. There is said to he growing in the hot-house of Lord Shrewsbury, Alton Priors, Staffordshire, an enormous pine, described as having 15 heads. THE BISHOP'S COURT.—Last Wednesday week Mr. D. Jones, the parish churchwarden of Llanelly, a Dis senter, attended the Bishop's Court, held in St. Peter's Church, Carmarthen. to receive judgment for net regularly attending church. The proctor who conducted the case endeavoured to stay the judgment of the Court by an at tempt to have the said warden dism;ssed from his office ; but the Court objected, and delivered judgment, censuring him for past neglect of duty, with an'admouition to a more strict observance of the same for the future, at the same time mulcting him with costs of the citation !—Ca»zbrian. DREADFUL SHIPWRECK.—We are concerned . to state that the ship Robert Thomas, of this port, burthen near 1,000 tons, bound from Quebec to Liverpool, laden with timber, deals, etc., came into this harbour at eight o'clock on Wednesday evening- - -being water-logged the day before. She anchored above Craven-head, got a pilot in a short time who weighed anchor for the purpose of get ting her into deep water—but striking shortly afterwards her anchors were let go—both her cables parted, and she aro% e on shore at Broom-hill, where she now lies, at four o'clock this morning. We have the consolation of saying that the captain and crew, after exhausting and tremendous exertions saved their lives by climbing up the precipitous and rugged cliffs of Broom Hill, and were brought to this city on Thursday by the Duacannon steamer. Captain Grandy has received some dreadful bruises, and is in a weakly state. In cutting one of the masts it fell in a con trary direction on his legs, which is the cause of the injuries he has received. In honour to our respected fellow-citi zen, Mr. Pope, who owns the greater part of the ship, we have to record that he expressed himself in terms of thanks gising for the safety of the captain and crew, saying that he did not care what became of the ship and cargo, as they had survived the wreck. We understand that the.stern of the Robert Thomas has gone to pieces, and that there is little likelihood of her being of future utility. The cargo w ill, we learn, be saved in part.--_Waterford Chronick: CHANCERY COURT—(TMs DAV) dousuzy V.

(: -- nteci,)tio:;•, that ever enured into the brain of a tical madman. oucstion of the annexation of Texas to tl e United States has been repeatedly discussed in Con- t ress since the opening of the present Extraordinary Session. From dorninonts submitted to the Legislr, ture by the Secretary of the Forein Department, it appears that the Texians were themselves the, first to propose such an annexation, and that the proposal was but indifferently received by President JACKSON. Upon the whole di,: news from the United States is more favourable than we had reason to expect. We give the state of the Money Market for two days front the New York inquirer : NEW YORK MONEY MARKET. SPECIE, OCT. 13. American Cold 5 to per cent. prem.

Spanish Dollars Mexican ditto American Halves Five-franc Piece The only sale of Specie at the Board, this morning, was of 264 sovereigns, at 35 dole. 13f cents. The market presents no change of any moment. A decline of per cent. has been experienced in Treasury Drafts, a sale of one for 980 dole, having been made at 3 per cent. premium. The transactions at the Board in Stocks were moderate, without any variation from the previous rates. United States 1 Bank, 117-Z-. The Five end Ten Dollar Bills of the Phoenix and Man hattan Banks, in addition to the notes of the Brooklyn and Tralesman's Banks, are now redeemed in specie. OCTOBER 14.—The sales at the Board were 1,270 sove reigns at 5 dollars 15c. ; 52 patriot doubloons at 16 dollars 50c. ; and 2,000 dollars in Spanish quarters at 5+ per cent. premium. The market has shown little variation during the week. Treasury drafts are held at 31 per cent. premium, without sales. It will be observed that the first emission of these drafts, pursuant to the Act recently passed, will probably be made immediately, to the extent of 500,000 dollars, bearing an interest of 2 per cent. to be gradually increased as the notes may depreciate in market. In Stocks, no material chance either in rates or demand is perceptible ; the fluctuation of the past week has been very trifling, though on the whole the appearance of the market is rather more favourable. U. S. Bank 118, without sales. The transactions in bills on Europe for the packets leaving on Monday, were not extensive. Sales on England were made at 15 a 16 per cent. premium; on France, fro. 4 95 a 4 97,1 ; on Holland, 42 a 421 cents. ; on Hamburg, 37:i cents. ; on Bremen, 844- aB5 cents. About 150,000 dols. in specie will probably go out in these packets. The Albany paper announces that the Canal, and Mecha nics' and Farmers' Banks of that city have resumed specie payments. The following are the quotations for specie, &c. at New Orleans on the 7th instant. Specie was reported dull at these rates:— American gold lB a 20 per cent. prem. Silver ... lB a2O do. Checks, U. S.

The Wheeling Gazette describes a canal steam-boat that has recently been constructed on a new model, at Steuben ville, Ohio, by Messrs. Watkins and Co. It is propelled by paddles fixed on chains which are carried around pullies or wheels, like those of the worker cards of a carder machine. The machinery works in an opening made in the bottom of the boat. Two engines are used as with stern-wheel steam boats, thus saving a fly wheel. The object of thus apply ing the power is to avoid the agitation of the water, which causes abrasions of the banks of the canal. The boat is intended for the Ohio canal, and is said to answer in all respects the pur poses for which it is intended. At a Meeting of •the friends of Parliamentary Re form, held yesterday, Mr. C. BULLER, who was in the Chair, well observed, " it is more than ever ne cessary for Ministers to abandon the do-nothing policy which is the real strength of their opponents, and to link their official existence with measures so pOpu lar and so practicable, that the country may really think it worth its while to keep them in office." This is just the language that we have uni formly held since the re-accession of Lord MEL- BoUtiNE to office. Government must not crawl on at a snail's pace, and refuse to settle this ques tion, because it is too early in the Session, and that, because it is too late ; but adopt Mr. BULLER'S suggestion, and at once, without an instant's delay, " link their official existence with measures popular and practicable." They have been placed at the helm by the people ; they are kept there by the people ; and it is the interests of the people that they must consult, to the exclusion of all other considerations. A bold, manly, unhesitating line of policy is what we confidently expect from them, and most earnestly do we hope that we may not be dis appointed. We were glad to see the veteran GAL LOWAY at this Parliamentary Reform dinner. He was an enthusiastic advocate for liberty, and suffered for it, both in purse and person, when half the existing generation were in the cradle ; and consequently de serves the lasting gratitude of every man who calls himself a Liberal. While reaping the har vest, we must not forget those who amid toil and trouble, in sorrow and in sickness, sowed the seeds of Reform ; and foremost among these— almost the only survivor of a race of unflinching, patriots—stands the Member of the old London Cor responding Society, Mr. GALLOWAY. Honour there fore to his name, and may he live to witness the full success of those liberal measures which forty years ago he urged with such spirit in the face of a thousand dangers—when aa ELDON was Attorney-General, and a PITT First Minister of State ! Mr. PARKES spoke forcibly and justly on the subject of the Ballot, and commented on Lord EBRINGTON'S late equivocal declaration on that question, in a frank, straight-forward spirit. The truth is, there is no hope, for Reform except in the protection of the Ballot. Without it, Earl GR EY'S boasted Magna Charta is little better than an old woman's recipe for rheumatism. The Tories held a gathering, or—as their journals magnilcquently phrase it—" a grand Conservative festival"—at Hull on Wednesday last. This festival, it seems, wa3 given in honour of the sitting Members, Sir Wm. JAMES and Mr. WILBERFORCE, both of whom indulged in abundant speechification—by way, we suppose, of evincing a lively sense of gratitude for an unimpeachable feed. We cannot, however, com plimLnt the latter gentleman on his oratorical faculties. Heaven knows we have no desire to be censorious or vituperative, but a regard for the sacred interests of truth compels us to assert that Mr. 'WILBER WORCE'S speech—notwithstanding it bears marks in every sen tence of having been diligently premeditated—is about as signal a specimen of false taste and illogical reason ing as we ever happen to have met with, even in the report of a vestry meetino. In animation it resembles a Turnpike Act ; and in the graces of style, a Railway Bill. This Hull Cicero condemns Ministers; praises the Parsons ; and winds up his unprecedented .oration—we say unprecedented, for there is a dullne.ss which, in point of intenseness, may fairly lay claim to originality—by turning into stupid, vapid, idiotic prose, one of the most poetical passages in POPE'S " Essay on Man." Sir WILLIAM JAMES'S speech was better,. and would almost have been tolerable, had there been a sitn!le idea in it ; but, as it is, it must de pend for its character solely on its brevity. We do not wonder that the Hull Conservatives " separated at au early hour." JAMES and WILBERFORCE must ha.'e given them a dose, the bare recollection of which they will yawn.over to their dying day. We antici pate much lively " Cock-crowing" when these two bright Senators shall get up on their legs in the, House of Commons. Every day furnishes fresh and strong proofs of the progress which the Ballot is making throughout the country, and among all classes of people. The most deep-rooted prejudices have given way before the force of that light which has flashed upon the minds of men from the political events of the last three months. Never did the spirit of despotism rage more fiercely in VICE-CHANCERY.-(TIIIS DAY.) His Honour the, VICE-CHANCELLOR was engaged the whole morning with cause petitions. ROLLS' COURT-(THIS DAY). PERCY V. CLARE. Mr. SPURRIER moved caparte for an injunction to restrain the defendant from selling an oil for the hair under the name of " Perry's Medicated Mexican Balm." The plaintiff, in his affidavit in support of the injunction, stated that, having purchased a recipe for an oil fur the promotion of the growth of the human hair, had been in the habit of selling the same under the title of " Perry's Medicated Mexican Balm," and that on the 29. h of August last, he discovered the defendant was selling a mixture with that inscription on the bottles. Lord LANGDALE-If the plaintiff discovered that towards the end of August, why did he not apply for the injunction earlier ? Mr. SPURRIER trusted that the circumstance of the long va cation intervening, would be a sufficient apology fur the delay his client has been guilty of. Lord LANGDALE —lt is always convenk!nt for the Court to hear any application. Mr. SPURRIER said his client could not have made the appli cation in the long vacation without incurring great expense. Lord LANGDALE—He has waited from the 29th of August till the 7th of November, and I think he must now wait long enough to give the defendant the opportunity of appearing. Let notice be given to the defendant. - - - - - - CLAILKE V. ALEXANDER.-CLARKS V. DALLAS. This suit was instituted by Trustees under the will of the Hon. and Rev. John Blackwood, late of Thayer-street, Man chester-square, for the administration of his estate. Among numerous bequests and legacies contained in the will was the following, " I desire my trustees and executors to pay to Mr. Wm. Blackwood, my cousin, of the Account Office, Cumber land-place, the sum of 5001., to wet his whistle and my whistle occasionally."—( Laughter. ) The following posse of Learned Counsel appeared for the respective claimants :--Sir Chas. Wetherell, Messrs. Tinney, Pemberton, Horace Twiss, Treslove, Kindersley, Spence, and Temple, with their juniors, Messrs. Duckworth, Richards, Rogers, Stuart, Monro, Bethel, and Hetbrington. QUEEN'S BENCH-(THIS DAY.) • (Sittings i❑ Banco.) LEGGE V. BEARD AND ANOTHER. Mr. Sergeant TALFORD moved in this case for a rule to show cause why the verdict for the plaintiff should not be set aside, and a new trial had, on the ground that the verdict was against evidence. The case was tried before Lord Abinger at the last Gloucester assizes, and it was an action brought by the plaintiff to recover the amount of two Bills of Exchange, accepted by the defendants in the month of June 1836. The defendant, Beard, had suffered judgment to go by default, and the other defendant, Herbert, had pleaded infancy. He was a young man who had been induced to enter into a partnership in the last year, and on a failure in business having occurred, a fiat of bankruptcy was issued against the parties. To support the plea on the part of the defendant Herbert, his mother was called, and she deposed that he was born a fortnight before the 31st March 1816, and that he was a fortnight old when he was baptised—that circumstance had brought the date particularly to her recollection, and he could not be of age under the circumstances until March 1837. The tes timony of the mother upon that part was corroborated by that of the daughter - of the woman who had attended her in her confinement. Upon the cross-examination of the mother, it was elicited that the young man believed himself of age at the time he had accepted the bills, and that he had received from certain trustees a sum of 2001., which he had invested in the partnership, and which he could only have received in the event of his being of full age. Under these circumstances, the case was left for the Jury for their decision on the facts, by Lord Abinger ; and it was quite clear that the verdict re turned could only be accounted for by the circumstance, which was given in evidence, of the young man having believed him self of age at the time he entered into the partnership. The case was considered of great importance, w►th reference to other liabilities, affecting the bankruptcy ; and he submitted that he had made out a case to entitle himself to the rule prayed for. Lord DENNIAN saw nothing in the case to call upon the Court to disturb the finding of the Jury ; but the Court would consult with Lord Abinger on the matter, before pronouncing its final decision. COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.) ( Sittings in Banco.) ERNEsT V. BROWN. This was an action brought by the plaintiff to recover the costs of a mortgage which he conducted for the defendant, and, in a second count, for the value of a certain cart and other property, sold to the defendant. The defendant pleaded the general issue to the first count, relating to the costs of the mortgage ; and to the second count, he pleaded, first, that he never owed the plaintiff anything—and, secondly, that he never owed him more thin 3L Os., which was paid into Court. The jury found for the "plaintiff on the first count, but gave him only Is. damages ; and they found for the defendant on the second plea to the second count. On the taxation of costs, the prothonotary disallowed the plaintiff's costs in part, and allowed the defendant's costs in 30/. upon the first count. Mr. Sergeant WILDE this day moved for a rule to show cause why the taxation should not be reviewed. He argued that it was erroneous in law and in principle to allow to a de fendant the costs upon an issue on which a verdict had been given against him, however small the damages. The Prothonotary, Mr. Ray, explained to "the Court, that he had actually allowed the plaintiff all his costs in the action, but had disallowed his costs for witnesses to prove the count on which a verdict was given against him. • Mr. Sergeant WILDE replied that costs were allowed to the defendant upon the first count, on which a verdict was given against him ; and although these costs were for witnesses who had proved his plea upon the issues, on which a verdict was found for him ; yet it had been - ruled repeatedly, that a de fendant could not :be allowed the costs of witnesses, who aro called to an issue, on which the verdict is against him, although they prove an. issue, on which he obtains a verdict.—Rule granted. BAIL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE took his seat on the Bench at half past ten o'clock. IN THR MATTER OF THE CORPORATION OF GUILFORD. Mr. CHAMBERS moved for a rule to show cause why a man damus should not issue, calling upon the Mayor, Burgesses, and Assessors of the Corporation of Guilford to appoint a per son to serve in the office of Town Councillor, vacant by the death of the late Mr. Slater, a member of that body. By the sth and 6th of William the Fourth, it was incumbent on the Councillors, Auditors, and Assessors for the time being to proceed within ten days to the election of a person to fill the office of Councillor in case of a vacancy occurring among that body, and as they had in the present instance failed to perform that duty, the Act in ques tion could not be applicable to the case. The Act of the present reign went to remedy any inconvenience that might arise from such a circumstance, by giving authority to the Court of Queen's Bench to call upon the mayor, bur gesses, and assessors to assemble, and proceed to the election of a person to fill up a vacancy occurring in their body, and as this was .the first application of the kind under the Act, he (Mr. Chambers) thought necessary to go. into details. Mr. Justi6c LITTLEDALE—Take a rule to show cause.— Rule nisi granted. The C:.urt then proceeded to dispose of Nisi Prius cases. EXCHEQUER COURT.-(THIS DAY.) ALEXANDER V. THE GENERAL STEAM NAVIGATION COMPANY. •Sir F. PoLLocx. moved to set aside the verdict fur the de fendant, on the ground of its being against all the evidence in the cause. The plaintiff was proprietor of a vessel called some times a Billy Boy and sometimes a Humber Keel. On the 15th of January it came up the river laden with Corn with the tide, following in the wake of a vessel called the Thobiley. The defendant's steam-boat, the Belfast was going down the River with a large vossel, called the Ontario, in tow. When nearly opposite the Thames Police-office, the Btlfast attempted to pass to the south after passing the Thornley, hut the moment she had made the turn a Warp, which the Thornlcy had thrown out, suddenly rose out of the water, and presented an obstacle, which ren dered it necessary for the steamer to put about again, and then the 500 ton ship, the. Ontario, having good way on her, bore down and drove the steamer on the Billy Boy, by which she was sunk. At the trial such was his case, and it was proved by lour witnesses, one of whom a' Trinity pilot, said had the men in the Billy Boy let go their anchor the acci dent would have been avoided. He, however, did not wish to cast blame on any one. Ilia case was that the accident was unavoidable, and therefore that the defendants were not liable. The Loan CHIEF -BARON referred to his notes of the trial, but be said he wrote so bad a hand that he could not then make them out. The Court would refer to them and con sider the evidence. In the meantime if Sir Frederick would furnish him with the shorthand writer's notes it would assist him in making out the case.—Judgment deferred. COULD V. BAIIRETT. This was an action for maliciously holding to bail, tried be fore Mr. Baron Bolland, when a verdict was found for the de fendant against all the evidence in the case. Sir F. Pou.oex now moved fur a rule Ms/ to• s e t asid e that verdict. The plaintiff was arrested on the 15th March, 1836, for '2701, alleged to be due to the defendant. Ile was taken to a lock-up house, where he remained two days. He was then removed to I Vhitecross-street Prison; he remained three days there, and at last was liberated by depositing the money, for being arrested in the City he was necessitated to have resident citizens fur bail, which he could not procure. The action was brought in the Lord Mayor's Court, and the defendant, the present plaintiff, was obliged to bring the trial - 7 ----"---.-------------------- be pre\isn . , when the Couo;el IT M.
