Deme.tara has been in good request at the previous value Any further advance in the value of Brandy has been prevented from taking place by the announcement of a large public sale ; but holders are arm, and the demand has been good for all descriptions. A farther decrease has taken place in the stock of Brandy. To-day there was less demand for all kinds of Rum, but holders were unwilling to make any concession in price, as the stock is diminishing.

CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) IN THE MATTER OF DYCE SOMBRE, A LUNATIC. Mr. ROLT, upon this case being called on, stated that some communications had taken place between the par ties, but no arrangement had been come to. Under these circumstances he had to ask that the case might stand over to Friday week, which would be the lunatic petition day. His LORDSHIP assented to the application. GOMPERTZ V. GOMPERTZ. __ _ This case came before the Court upon an appeal from the decision of the present Vice-Chancellor of England. The question in the case was whether under the will of Solomon Baron Gompertz, made in 1796, his children, who share under the residuary, took them for life or absolutely. It appeared that the testator at his death bad ten children, five sons and five daughters, and by his will, after disposing of part of his pro perty, ho gave the residue to his children, the sons to take two parts each, and the daughters one. The terms in which the residue was given, were " to her children for lite, and after their death to become to their lawful issue. One of the daughters of the testater, named Sarah, married a gentleman named Hollinden, and died without children, and then the question was raised whether her husband, as her representative, was entitled to her part of the residue. A suit was instituted for the purpose of having that question settled, and upon its being heard before the Vice• Chancellor of England, his Honour decided that the share of Sarah Hollinden remained undisposed of, and from that judgment the present appeal was brought. Mr. Walker and Mr. Twells appeared in support of the decree of the Court below, and Mr. James Parker and Mr. Speed were counsel for the appellant, Mr. Hollinden. The LORD CHANCELLOR, at the conclusion of the ar guments, gave judgment, affirming the decision of the Court below, and directing the costs to be costs in the cause. of the documents being in his possession, he had handed them over as some fraudulent statement ; then such an action might lie. That Captain Roso was never to have any of the proceeds of the bills, and once for all, he might state that he never parted with a single penny of his money ; that it was well known to all the parties that he had no money to part with ; that he had no property whatever ; that he had even sold the rever sion of his father's estate, in order to pay certain debts, and he had indicted the defendants for conspiring to cheat him out of money, whereas 17,0001. found its way into his pocket out of these transactsons, and not even a halfpenny was taken from him—thus sufficiently dis tinguishing the case, he thought, from all that had oc curred, and all that might occur, it was certainly not a conspiracy to defraud Captain Rose out of anything, but into something, and the parties who were to be cheated, if any such intention existed, were those who ad vanced money on the bills drawn by Captain Rose. The 4th count was not proved for similar reasons. The sth specified the conspiracy -to have consisted in cheating Captain Rose out of his money, which was clearly a misconception, because all the world knew that Captain Rose had no money, and that the whole transaction was not entered into with the view of obtaining money from him, but for the purpose of raising money on his acceptances. The seventh and eighth counts were equally invalid on similar grounds, and, therefore, he would not trouble the court with any arguments upon them. The sixth count was in this form :—The conspiracy was alleged to have been con cocted for the purpose of defrauding Captain Rose of divers large sums of money, which were his proper moneys, and then an overt act was charged, namely, that they did then and there defraud Captain Rose of bills of exchange, and of the proceeds thereof prospectively. Could anything be more vague--anything more general? A man of property might be induced to marry a pauper, on the strength of being told that she pos sessed great wealth, or a woman of ill-fame, on a similar statement. In either of these cases, according to the doctrine advanced its this, would an indictment lie? He apprehended not. The ground on which Mr. Peacock obtained a rule from the Court for a new trial was, that the jury found the defendants guilty of six conspiracies. In the great case of " O'Connell v. the Queen," it was held that a general judgment referred in some respect to the whole of the indictment, but that if there was one bad count, that the judgment could not be maintained. So, he apprehended, it must be held in this case. In fact the Court had the power to inflict six separate punish ments on each finding ; nay, more, it would become a question whether the Court would discharge its duty properly if it forbore to inflict such separate punish ments. On these, grounds he held that the Court must accede to a new trial. Mr. PEACOCK followed on the same side. He reiterated the arguments of Mr. Hill, that an unstamped document was inadmissible, and quoted a number of cases in which unstamped docu ments wese so held. The only cases in which such documents could be admitted in evidence were those criminal cases in which the fraud and conspiracy charged consisted in forged unstamped documents, which were necessary to prove the offence charged. The third count set forth that the defendants conspired to get the bills from Rose on the statement that a person named Parker, then staying at Hatchett's llotel, would advance 55,0001, on them, and that Gompertz was to receive 12,5001. of the amount for his trouble. Now, the evidence of Rose himself went to show that he was per fectly insolvent at the time he signed the bills, and other evidence adduced showed that the bills were signed by Rose for the accommodation of Gompertz; that the bills were never in the possession of Rose ; that they were not his property ; that he received the warrant of attorney from Gompertz as security for drawing the bills ; and that his condition forbade the inference that he could be defrauded of their amounts. In fact, if there was any conspiracy to defraud at all, it must have been a conspiracy to defraud those who advanced money upon the bills. By the very agreement amongst the whole of the parties Captain Rose was not to receive any of the produce of the bills, and up to this time he had not ever paid the bills. He dealt with the 4th, sth, 6th, and Bth counts, and held that they were invalid for the reasons he had stated. He then referred to the six separate findings of the jury, and held that they were bad, inas much as they rendered the parties six times punishable for what was virtually the same charge. On these grounds he held that the Court must accede to a new trial. Mr. WATSON, Q.C., who appeared with Mr. Cowling, for Mr. Robert Witham, one of the defendants, then proceeded to address the Court. He said he was in strutted to say, on behalf of his client, who was the youngest son of Mr. William Witham, that he was wholly innocent of the crime brought to his charge, and that his conviction must have arisen out of some misconception on the part of the jtiry l. who tried him, and that his conviction could only have arisen out of some of those circumstances which generally weighed in the minds of a jury called upon to try an indictment of conspiracy. Mr. Francis W itham died before the indictment was brought before a court of justice, so that, whether he was guilty, or whether he had been made a dupe of, or not, were questions which it was unnecessary now to determine. His client was 19 years of age at the time, and when the indictment wac, instituted against him he had only been two years in his father's office. His father and grandfather had occupied a high position as solicitors, and had carried on business in the same office, in Gray's-inn-square, since 1J72. Captaiu Rose was an outcast from his family, an outlaw, and in great pecuniary difficulties, his only means :of subsistence being half-pay, and 200/., which was allowed him by his friends, and the reversionary interest of 8,0001., to which, after all, he had no claim whatever, as his father had advanced the money upon it. Captain Rose, it appeared, had been a candidate to represent the borough of Poole in Parlia ment, and in order to pay the expenses of the contest a Mr. Slade lent him 1,0001., but as be could not get it back again he instructed Mr. Parr, his solicitor, to pro. teed to London in order to obtain its repayment from Captain Rose. Being thus pressed, and being anxious to get rid of the importunities of Mr. Parr, he and Gompertz, on the 25th of Avgust, during the long vacation of 1841, attended at the office of Messrs. Witham, and in duced Mr. Robert Witham, who was the only person there, and he had nothing whatever to do with the ma nagement of the firm, to write a letter, to Mr. Parr, stating, in the name of the firm, that they had every reason to believe that the bills of Captain Rose, for 30,0001., would be duly paid by Parker. There could be no question that this letter was obtained for the express purpose of satisfying Mr. Parr, and was obtained from a young man of 19, who was not entrusted with any voice in the management of the firm, by Rose and Gompertz, both of whom were experienced men of the world. This was the only evidence against Robert Witham. Rose, however, stated at the trial that the letter was written without any pressing request on his part, or on the part of Gompertz. On the very day the letter was exhibited to Mr. Parr, and an order given to him or Messrs. Witham for 1,0001. Shortly after, Parr, at a meeting at the Carlton Club, he having received a letter from Mr. Witham sen., saying that Parker was not his client, and that he did not know him, stated that he be _ lieved the matter was all humbug, and that they had only:misled him. Lord PENMAN said the worst part of the matter was that the Withams acted as the attorneys of Rose and Gompertz, and that a solicitor named Smith acted for - . the imaginary Mr. Parker, thus favouring the assump tion that they did not act for Parker because there was fraud in the transaction. Mr. WATSON went on to say, that notwithstanding the letter of Mr. Witham, sen., stating that Parker, who was to advance the money on the bills, was not his client. Rose, who knew of the circumstance, signed the bills shortly after. Th en it was state d by Mr. Parr that Mr. Robert Witham was at the meeting at the Carltun Club, whereas it appeared from his affidavits that he never was in the Carlton Club in his life time, and that the evidence given in the course of the trial was a mistake ; ho was often taken for his brother, who is dead. Lord DENMAN stated that the Court would look at the affidavits bfore hearing Mr. Watson farther. BAIL COURT,-(THIS DAY.) 'Sittings in Banco, before M. Justice TATTESOI:O THE QUEEN V. DITNN. The defendant in this case appeared to make an ap plication to the Court to change the venue in au indict ment against him for perjury, from the city of London to the county of Middlesex. The Defendant stated that his Lordship would re number that, in chambers, a writ of certiorari had been granted to remove the indictment from the Central Criminal Court to this Court, and he now sought to change the venue. The affidavit on which he moved stated all the usual facts mentioned in such applications, excepting that he could not obtain a fair trial in the city of London, although there were many difficulties in the way of it which did not exist in the county of Mid dlesex. The prosecutrix resided in Middlesex. Sir F. THEsIGER stated that the applicant had de. scribed himself as living in Red Lion-square. Mr. DUNN—Did not reside there at present, and no advantage would, he felt sure, be taken of any such mis take. The prosecutrix resided in Middlesex, as did both her partners, who were also parties to the prosecution. The allegation in the indictment was, that he had at tempted to make the parties bankrupt, and although it was not a true allegation, it was calculated to create a very angry feeling amongst commercial men, because any such attempt must necessarily be considered a harsh, wanton, and improper proceeding. The proceeding be had adopted was to summon the parties as traders, and that summons would not make bankrupts of them. Co mmercial men were peculiarly alive to any unhandsome it, wealthy, and against parties equally respectable, and responsible, and though he had defence, ag oc in th e city o i ea t created a great prejudice against him Middlesex, l a e l s l e their i i r t was their own county w London. As the part h ie e s r e re tb st e d y ed ma i inn st ' natural influence. He sought to com e into their county it to be tried, and would be a further convenience as all resided there. There had been certain proceedings e a s dopted in the Old Bailey which were cal culated to create very great alarm in his mind as to the safety of carrying on the proceedings in the city of Lon don. When the case came on in Chambers, it was stated that there was only one witness examined to sup port the indictment. That was not enough, and, besides, since the indictment had been found, he had ascertained that a most material addition had been made to it. They had placed on the back of the record the name of the foreman several weeks after the indictment had been found. That record had since been returned into the Crown office. T1..,t was the mascot. fur his sup posing that ho would not have as fair a trial in London as in Middlesex. lle supposed that the parties were too respectable for a moment to think of shoving him into a corner by any unjust means. Mr. Justice PATTESON—W hat is the indictment for ? Mr. liuNN said it was for perjury ; for swearing in the Bankruptcy Court that Miss Burdett Ccutts was in debted to him in a certain sum, ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.) ROBINSON V. WALL. The arguments in this cause were resumed by the Counsel for the defendants, Messrs. Turner, Roupel, and Rogers. They occupied the whole day, and had not concluded at the rising of the Court at three o'clock. VICE-CHANCERY.—(THIS DAY) (Before the VICE-CHANCELLOR OF ENGLAND.) His Honour the Vice-Chancellor of England took demurrers, and further directions to-day. KIRKE V. THE BROMLEY UNION GUARDIANS. The arguments on this part-heard case, which came before the Court upon a demurrer, were resumed and concluded to-day. The Court ordered the demurrer to be overruled. LEWIS AND OTHERS V. COOPER AND OTHERS. This case came before the Court upon a demurrer put in by the defendants to the plaintiffs' bill. The plaintiffs are some of the shareholders of a railway that was projected last year, to be called the South and Midland Railway Company, and the defendants were some of the directors of that company. The scheme having been abandoned the shareholders filed their bill for the purpose of ob taining an injunction to restrain the defendants from taking out of Court the money that had been paid in under the provisions of the Act of Parliament. Upon a motion for that purpose, the Vice-Chancellor of Eng land granted an injunction, which was dissolved upon an application to the Lord Chancellor. The present bill alleged that the directors had received 99,000/., that out of that they had paid certain expenses, together with 55,0001., which they had paid into Court, and that amount the bill asked the Court to order to be divided amongst the shareholders. To this bill the directors put a de murrer for want of parties. His HONOUR, without calling upon the counsel who appeared for the plaintiffs, ordered the demurrer to be overruled. GRAND JUNCTION CANAL COMPANY V. DIMES. The arguments in this case occupied the Court the remainder of the day. (Before Sir J. WIGRAM.) IN RE BRIGHTON RAILWAY COMPANY. His Horrotnt said he considered with respect to the petition in this natter, which had been presented yes terday, that the trustees had sufficient powers, and con sequently that the Court had no right to interfere in the case. (Before Sir J. K. BRUCE.) MORRIS V. MORRIS. Mr. ROGERS, on the part of the defendant, put in an answer to the original motion in this matter. The Learned Counsel stated, that by that answer the defend ant threw himself on the mercy of the Court, setting forth that he was too poor to adopt the necessary steps before. It appeared further that an application had been made to the Court in Ireland, and proceedings understood in that country as writs of eject ment had been executed. The application to the Chan cery Court in Ireland had been unsuccessful, the Court refusing to interfere till after the settlement of the ori ginal motion which was pending before the Court. His HONOUR, after hearing the arguments, said—With out giving any opini on w h a t ever as to w h et h er the notice of the defendant in this matter was or was not correct, or deciding whether he had made sufficient apology for the delay that he had been guilty of, he nevertheless considered this motion too late. With regard to the original motion he thought it more espe cially belonged to the Court of Chancery in Ireland, and would, therefore, order it to stand over for the present. TAYLOR V. COOPER The object of the plain tiff in this case was to enforce tho condition of a will of Wiliam Cooper, who bequeathed to the plaintiff and to William Cooper, the defendant, freehold house property in Fleur-de-lis-court, as well as four leasehold houses in Tichbourne-street, upon trust, with directions to pay the rents accruing to his widow for life. After her death the testator devised the freehold houses to William Cooper absolutely. lie also gave the leasehold houses to William Cooper, on condition of his granting a lease of the houses in Tichbourne-street for the remainder of the testator's interest to George Taylor, at a rent of 5/. per annum. Taylor died in the lifetime of the widow, and his executor claimed the lease, which was refused, this refusal being justified on the ground that in the will the object of the testator was purely to confer a benefit on Taylor himself, and not his estate. After hearing the arguments, his HONOUR said, be considered that Mrs. Taylor's executor was fairly en titled to the under lease which she claimed. However he did not think he would be justified in giving costs on either, as the question at issue was one of that nature which might be equitably raised. The Court rose at the usual hour. QUEEN'S BENCH.—(THIS DAY.) CONSPIRACY—THE QUEEN V. GODIPERTZ AND OTHERS. Mr. HILL, Q.C., resumed his address this morning. He first addressed himself to the question of the admis sability, in legal cases, of unstamped documents ; and quoted the case of Buckstone v. Carlisle, 12th Mason and Wellerby, p. 226, in support of his argument, that the use of unstamped documents at the trial rendered the finding of the jury invalid. In the case referred to, which was an action fez work and labour, the onus of proof lay in an agreement which was not admitted in evidence in consequence of its being unstamped, and therefore the case of the plaintiff fell to the ground. After briefly glancing at the law relating to stamped docu ments, and contending that a document which was pre pared without a stamp, but which ought in law to bear a stamp, was not only invalid but inadmissable in a court of law; ho proceeded to review the counts of the indictment, which, he held, were bad, and not proved by the evi dence adduced at the trial. The third count divided itself into two branches—first, that the defendants got possession of the bills; and, secondly, that their object was to defraud Captain Rose of the proceeds of them. Now, Gumpertz brought the stamps to Captain Rose, who signed them, and they were taken away by Gom• per .tz They never were in Captain Rose's possession; they never belonged to him at any time and in any way, whereas the count set forth that the bills had been taken improperly from him, they having been in his legal possession at the time, and that the act was fraudulent, and therefore Wits untenable. He could not, for in stance, maintain an action for trespass. If the stamps had belonged to ,him, And the whole Mr. Justice PATTEsoN—Was the affidavit made in London ? Mr. Dubai said that it was, - but the parties were too respectable to adopt any course to make him un easy. He left it in the hands of his Lordship, as to whether or not it would be safer or better to have the case tried in Middlesex. He also moved for a special jury, but ho believed that that was a matter of course. He did not wish to throw any im putation upon the City. He did not, of course, say that twelve honest men were not to be found in London, or, indeed, in any place ; but he thought that there were great difficulties in the way. Mr. Justice LITTESON—The indictment was taken out of the Central Criminal Court by writ of certiorari, and whenever any case is thus removed, if there are any difficulties about it, the place in which it is the practice to lay the venue is the county in which the cause of indictment arises. The proper place in this case is in London, and you must have a very strong ground to remove it to another county. The grounds which you state as your reasons for apprehending an unfair trial are not strong enough. It is impossible to say that twelve gentlemen coming from the city of London would allow themselves to be unduly influenced. Mr. DUNN said that all the parties and witnesses to the prosecution resided in Middlesex. Mr. Justice PATTESON—That is no reason at all, Mr. DUNN hoped that his Lordship would give him an order for a copy of the bill, and the names and ad dresses of the jury. Mr. Justice PATTESON—N o such thing has ever been done in my recollection. Mr. DUNN had sworn that the name of the foreman was placed on the back of the bill since the jury had been discharged and the sessions over. Sir THESIGEa said that that fact was not stated in the affidavit. Mr. DUNN had not entered into particulars. Mr. Justice PATTESON--All the facts must be dis tinctly set forth before the Court can take any cognisance of the matter at all. Mr. Dunn then withdrew. EXCHEQUER.—(THIS DAY.) The Judges assembled this morning in the Exchequer Chambers to form a Court of Error, for arranging the days upon which errors should be taken. The Court adjourned till to-morrow. (Sittings in Banco.) LISTON V. ST. HELEN'S RAILWAY COMPANY. Mr. BAINES moved upon affidavits for a rule to set aside a nonsuit to which the plaintiffs was obliged to submit, in consequence of seven of the witnesses who were called upon the trial not answering, although sub poenaed. The plaintiff was a clerk in the employ of the above named company, and sought to recover a sum of money for services rendered during a number of years to the company, and the attendance of a large number of wit nesses was necessary to prove his case.—Rule granted. THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. BAILEY. In this case which was tried last term befdre the Lord Chief Baron, verdicts were returned for the Crown upon the first fourth and fifth counts of the declaration, the first count charged the plaintiff with being in pos session of four illicit stills, upon this count a verdict was found with the sum of 2,0001. The seventh count charged the defendant with distilling spirits without a license. Upon this count a verdict was returned with the sum of 500/. The fifth count charged the defendant with removing spirits without a permit. The verdict upon this count was also for the Crown, with the sum of 4,0001. The defendant carried on the business of a wholesale chemist and druggist at Red burn, in Derbyshire. Mr. MARTIN now moved for a rule either to set aside the verdict, or for a new trial. Although it had been proved by the witnesses called at the trial upon the part of the Crown that these stills had been improperly used, yet these stills were primarily intended for the purpose of distilling sweet spirits of nitre, and as this article was exempted from the operation of 6 George IV., the defendant was not bound to take out a license, and therefore the verdict returned upon the two last counts was wrong. If the party owning stills kept for th e pur pose of distilling such spirits of nitre, should use his still for the purpose of manufacturing spirits properly go called, there were other acts under which he could be punished, but under the 6 Geo. IV., it was now con tended that the defendant could not be convicted. The COURT held the verdict to be good, and consi dered that the defendant came under the definition of the Act.—Rule refused. COMMON PLEAS.--(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banco.) CAREY W. SMALLMPOD. Mr. Sergeant CHANNELL showed cause against a rule obtained by Mr. Sergeant Taltourd, on the 9th June last, for a stet processus as plaintiff, the defendant to give security for costs. The rule was obtained by the plain tiff on a single affidavit, alleging that the defendant was either in a state of insolvency, or that he was residing abroad. The action was directed to be brought by the Court of Chancery, to which the plaintiff had applied for an injunction to restrain defendant from infringing a patent for wood pavement. The defendant denied that the plaintiff's system of wood pavement was a new invention, but one similar to that previously brought out by Mr. Macarthur. The injunction was obtained from Vice-Chancellor Wigram, on an ex parte application. The defendant shortly afterwards succeeded in procuring a dissolution of the injunction, the Vice-Chancellor reserving the question of costs, the defendant being directed to keep an account, and the plaintiff to proceed by action at law, and this action was accordingly brought. The affidavits filed by defendant denied the allegations contained in the plain tiffs affidavits, and it was contended that the application arose from an unwillingness on the part of plaintiff to go to trial. Mr. Sergeant GLOVER followed on the same side. Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD replied in support of the rule. The COURT was of opinion that there was no ground whatever for interference. The rule must therefore be discharged with costs.—Rule discharged accordingly. REGISTRATIOIT APPEAL FROM THE BOROUGR OF DART MOUTH. Mr. Sergeant DOWLING applied to the Court to en large the period for entering an appeal against a decision of the revising barrister for the borough of Dartmouth. He made it under the 64th section of the Reform Act, which gave the Court power to extend the time of entry. It was required that the notice of the appeal should be forwarded to the Court so as to be entered on the 4th day of November. It seemed that the attorney bad not taken the necessary steps for forwarding the appeal till the evening before the last day, when requiring the presence of his client to complete the application, he was disappointed by his absence from home. A day, therefore, was lost, and before affidavits of the cause of delay could be made, and the necessary steps taken for the present application, the present week had arrived. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE, after consulting the Act, was of opinion that the Court ought not to interfere. The Act gave them the power of extending the period of entry, providing that a reasonable time had not been given for preparing the appeal, but here there had been plenty of time. The delay had been occasioned by the neglect of the attorney. The application must, there fore be refused. The rest of their Lordships concurred. THE LONDON GAZETTE. (THIS EVENING.)
