MISCELLANEOUS NEWS. (From the Bombay Times, March 16.) In reference to the grounding of the frigate Fox, in the Persian Gulf, we have received the following from a correspondent:—" In your paper of the 18th inst., I ob serve a notice of the Fox frigate having gone ashore on a reef near Karrack in the Persian Gulf, said to have been erroneously laid down in the maps.' As it is of the utmost importance that it should be ascertained how far the Government Chart of this sea is to be depended upon, I wo u ld beg to suggest through the medium of your journal, that measures be adopted to e ff ec t thi s o bject with as- little delay as possibl e . F r o m m y own experience, lam able to point out two c o ns id era bl e errors in the said chart, viz. the direction of the coast for eight or ten miles west ward from Lingar, whi c h is laid down several pointso ut of its true bearing s , and th e form and the extent of the sand bank lying to the s o u th- we st of Kishme. To this I must add, that I have heard Captain Gray, of the Ei_l_dym_ ion, state that part of his voyage in the Persian Gulf was formed over a tract laid down in the chart as part of the southern coast of 'Persia." The repairs of this vessel have been completed in such a way, under the able sure r intendence of Commodore Sir H. Blackwood, that she is pronounced to be almost in as good a condition as when first launched. She will shortly be hauled out of deck. The following report of the Bombay Caubul Relief Fund has been publi-hed since our last:—" The committee of the Caubul Relief Fund at Bombay publish for general information a statement of the receipts and disburse ments of the Fund, exoibiting a balance up to the Ist of Feb. hf rs. 48, 412, and 3 annas. The Rev. Mr. Wolff, having returned t o E ng l an d w i t h out p rocee ding to Ati ghanistan, the sum placed at his disposal, 10,000 T' has been retu rne d to t h e comm i ttee . Lieut.-COL . sel, has M. M.'s Char g e d'Aff a i res at t h e Court of Perstan,_ve been empow ere d by th e comm ittee to 4 e o m c go r y up a ees, for a . agent, at an expense not exceeding the purpose o f en d eavour ing to effect the release cf any British subjects who may be in captivity at Caubul or in the ad,acent countries. The Honourable the Governor in Council has kindly permitted the Resident at Bushire to cash Colonel Shiel's bills to the above amount. The committee purpose purchasing an annuity of 301. per annum for the lady whose father was killed at Caubul, for the purpose of which 7,000 ru pees will probably be required, thus leaving an unappro priated balance of about 32,412 rupees." The following melancholy account of the death of an officer, his lady, aed child, from cholera, has been published by the Madras U. S. Gazette :—" It is with much pain we announce the decease, by cholera, at "Secunderabad, cn the 18th instant, of Brevet Captain Thomas Osborne, of the 40:h N.l. ' and his lady, both of w h om f e ll v i ct i ms to this fatal epidemic on the same day, having on the preced ing one lost their infant chili. Since the above was in type the following particalars have reached us in a let ter froth Secunderabad Lieutenant Osborne, of the 40th N. 1., which corps is now a stage or two distant from Secunderabad, having lost one of his children by loathing-, caws on to the cantonment with the corpse to have it buried, leaving his family in camp. No sooner had he arrived at Captain Harper 's than he was hiensel attacked with the epidemic. This news having reached Mrs. Osbo rne , s h e h astene d to j o in her husband, , • she was a:so seized by the same disease, which_ in both cases proved fatal on the same day : The hapless young couple were buried yesterday evening. The poor lady's ayah, I understand, has also fallenavicti h m to the have in pes tilence this morning. Captain and Mrs. Harper have in consequence removed from their house to avoid its dreaded effects.' " The following extract, in reference to " Railways in India," is taken from the report of the Bombay Chamber of Commerce, for the first quarter of 1845-46 :—" In accordance with the resolution passed at the annual general meeting of the 7th of October, 1845, the proceedings at which were given in the last report, your committee, in the beginning of the follow ing month, addressed a letter to the secretary to the Government of India, with the Right Honourable the Governor-General, expressing the views of the Chamber in reference to the introduction of railway communi cation, and claitnin , for the presidency of Bombay an equitable participation in the advantages which the support and assistance of Government towards the es tablishment of the new system of intercourse, were cal culated to confer. This communication, a copy of which is annexed in the Appendix, was forwarded to the Bombay Government, with a request that, in handing it up for the consideration of the Governor-General, his Honour in Council would see fit to accompany it with a favourable expres-ion of opinion in regard to the object which it sought to attain, Yuur committee have been apprised of the transmission of the letter to its desti nation, but they are not aware what view of its contents has been taken by the local authorities, nor have they, as yet, been favoured with any reply to it from the Supreme Government. In the pre ent state of political affairs, it would be too much, perhaps, to look for any very close attention on the part of the Head of Government, to subjects of this nature ; but as soon as matters assume a more favourable posture, they have little doubt that thei r me:nor i a l w i ll receive due consi deration at his Excellency's hands. Railways have so important a hearing upon the interests of trade, and seem likely, if introduced, to contribute so largely to its promotion in Western India, that your committee, as a commercial body, naturally feel a warm concern in the successful progress of the intended improvement, and are anxious to obtain an official recognition of the opinions they have ventured to express, satisfied, as they are, that their views are based upen reasonable grounds, and believing them, likewise, to be shared by a large section of the community." And from the same report we quote the following regarding the exportetion to England of an experimental consignment of wheat, made by Dr. Burn, superintendent of Government cotton cx periments at Broach, in the Bombay Presidency:— " Your committee have received from Government copy of a communication from Dr. Burn, dated the 11th Oc tober last, relativ e t o t h e exper i mental consignment of wneat per ship Osprey, regarding which such frequent notices have been contained in former reports. It will be recollected that owing to the presence of small stones, dirt, and other impurities, and the exist ence o f a pecu li ar earthy flavour, in the above wheat, -it was declared by competent judges at home to be unfit for bread pur poses; and that the Honourable the Court of Directors, in referring to this somewhat discouraging opinion, sug gested that Dr. Burn (should be called on to report as to whether these objections could be removed, in which case a further trial was to be authorised. The letter under notice discusses and decides the point in question. Dr. Burn states that he has no doubt the objections may be obviated, by having the grain properly threshed and winnowed prior to shipment, instead of being trodden out by oxen upon clay floors,' as was the case—from unavoidable causes—with the consignment sent home per Ospray. Fine bread, he observes, is made in Bombay from Guzerat wheat, and there can be no doubt that the article might be put to similar use at home; and if it were properly attended to here pre vious to shipment, it might, he thinks, "reach England quite free from dirt aad unpleasant flavour, or injury of any kind whatever." Entertaining this opinion, Dr. Bara is of wine anxious that a further experiment should be made, but instead of ginning the wheat, as on the last occasion, he suggests that it should be pur chased in one of the local markets ; and he is likewise of opinion that the recommendation of the brokers. Messrs. Lyon and Fyneey, to ship it in bulk, and by a feet vessel, should be adopted. The circumstance of the wheat per ()spray having escaped damage from weevils, is noticed as a subject of gratulation, and your com mittee decidediy concur with Dr. Burn that the satis factory solution of the problem e hether Indian wheat can be sent home without suffering from the attacks of t're , se destructive iesects, is a matter of no light import ance in a commercial point of view. In tranimitting the copy of Dr. Burn's letter, it was observed by Mr. Secretary Townsend, that if the Chamber, or any member of it, would undertake a small consignment on their own account, it would, in the opinion of Govern ment, be a hr more sati,factory test than any expel-, merit made by officers of Government, who are unskilled in mercantile transactions, and whose whole time is oc cupied with their official duties.' Your committee, however, printed out that the Chamber was precluded. by its rules, from engaging in any speculative transac tion of the nature proposed, although there would be no objection to its undertaking the shipment, as before, on behalf of Government. They hardly thought that in the existing state of affairs any mercantile firm would be disposed to export wheat to England as an experi• went. Ropes are entertained of the If C. sloop of war Conte, wrecked some months since H. the coast near Calicut, being extricated from present situation. It is sail that the efforts being made u to nt h s c u a iL e her up have been partially successful.

The Madras Spectator has published the following in reference to the proceedings of the Government of that presidency towards its bank : " We understand that at the annual general meeting of proprietors of the bank of Madras, held yesterday (Match 2), a full explication was given to the assembled proprietary, of recent proceedings in connexion with the existing crisis in the money market, and the means taken to protect the public from a suspension of accommodation by the bank. The course pursued by the directors in a cor respondence with the Government, having for its object to obtain an alteration of the present onerous and most extraordinary practice of sending all the bank-notes then find their way into the general treasury fur imme die to exchange into specie, met with unanimous tip . prov..?, as did also the steps taken by the Directors to eni lea oar to meet they scarcity of money."

Mr. Thornton, aticady well known for his historical writings in refe rence to India, has been appointed editor ; and that no labour or expense may be ~p ars-A, the Court is to ad vance the sum of one thousand pounds on each volume. The resolution in favour of each of these measures was carried by very large majorities. GENEtiAL 01tI)ERS, By His EXCELLENCY THE C 0 3 I 331,,NyiDaEritc-hINI.

On the 28th ultimo they were defeated at Aleewal, near Loodianab, by Major-- General Sir H. Smith, and their guns, to the number of sixty-seven, were taken or destroyed. On the 10th insta.,t they were defeated near the Hureekee Ghat by his Excellency the Commander-in-Chief. All their guns to the number of sixty-six were captured, and they were driven across the river with great slaughter. It is thus that by the assistance of the Almighty Disposer of all events the unprovoked attack of these audacious enemies has been repelled after they have been com pletely defeated in four pitched battles, at bloodkee, Ferozeshahur, Aleewal, and Hurreekee, with the loss of 223 pieces of cannon.

Th e Commander-in-Chief directs the publica tion to the army of the following general orders, which his ExcOlency has caused to be issued to the army of the Sutlej:— (Dated 10th of February, 1846.) His Excellency the Commander-in-Cilia has the gra tification, for the fourth time, of congratulating the gal lant army of the Sutlej on the attainment of victory. Glorious as the three preceding victories have been, they fall short of the signal triumph obtained this day in the capture by storm of the enemy's stronzly entrenched position of Sobraon. The Commander-in-Chief feels that he cannot do justice to the noble daring of the troops on this occasion. The enemy's position, defended by masses of the elite of his infantry, and a numerous and well-served artillery, which our guns had not succeeded in silencing, though admirably directed, was carried at every point. Nothing could withstand the ardour of our troops, or the devoted heroism with which they threw themselves on the enemy's works. _ To the officers commanding divisions, brigades, and regiments of each and every branchofth l e service , officerservice,aretnild lery, cavalry, an d i n f an t r y ; t o t h e g allant men under their command ; to the officers of the general staff of every dep.trtment, and those of the personal staff, the Commander-in-Chief offers the tribute of his highest admiration of their conduct, and his most cor dill thanks for the able assistance they have ever afforded him in the discharge of their various important duties.

The Head, Quarter Division of the 90th Light Infantry will embark at daylight to-morrow, on board the trans port-ship Mariner, for England. After a service of ten years in Cry lon, the Lieutenant- General commanding the forces, deems it due to this ex cellent corps to record in the general orders of this command the sense he entertains of the discipline and good conduct which, with tew exceptions, have charac terised the 90th during the five years it has served under the orders of his Excellency. His Excellency offers to Captain Eld his best thanks for his zealous exertions since he assumed the command, and to the officers, non-commissioned officers, and soldiers, of the 90th Light Infantry his sincere wishes for their future welfare and success.

Deputy Adjutent-Generai's Office, Colombo, Jan. 31, 1846. In confirming the proceedings of the general court martial, the Lieutent•General commanding the forces feels it to be incumbent upon him to notice some unusual circumstances which have transpired in the course of the examination of the first and indeed the prin cipal witness in support of the prosecution. Thi s witness, who was the senior officer on board the Mariner transport at the time, deposes that Captain Capel was very much intoxicated on the night of the 26th of November, 1845. Such being his opinion, his line of duty was clear ; he should have placed that officer im. mediately in arrest, and relieved him from the duty of captain of the day, but instead of adopting this regular and usual proceeding, he admitted that he made no re port against Captain Capel to Major Cuthbert until the 28th, permitting Captain Capel in the it-Aerial to go on shore, under the impression that there was nothing against him. It is true that the witness in question offers reasons for having allowed such an interval to elapse, and for the course he was induced to adopt. Although the Lieutenant-General is willing to give every considera tion to the motives assigned for his forbearance, his Excellency deems them insufficient to justify a departure from the rules and practice of her M tjesty's service. The Lieutenant-General cannot close these observations better than by endeavouring to impress upon the minds of o ffi cers the importance of the strictest circumspection being observed when employed upon any duty, and should be most careful not to place themselves in a posi • tion where any doubt could be entertain, d for one mo ment of their being capable of performing any duty that might be required.

Finding —The Court, having duly and deliberately weighed and considered the evidence in support of the prosecution, together with what the prisoner, Captain Daniel Capel, of the 15th Regiment of Foot, has offered in his defence, is of opinion that the prisoner, Captain Daniel Capel, of the 15th Regiment of Foot, is not guilty of the charge preferred against him, and does, therefore, acquit him thereof.

(Before Vice-Chancellor Sir KNIGHT BRUCE.) lIODGILISS V. HIPKISS. _ _ This part -heard case, hich came on for further bearing to day, was in prosecution of the vt ill of John Hipkis3, who died in 1835. Immediately after the testator's death; and previous to the production of the will, a conditional agreement was entered into between the plaintiff and the defendant as to the division of the property; but against the validity of this agreement, it wa s a ll ege d i n the pleadings that intoxi cation had been employ e d i n o bt a ining the signature. When the arguments were conc l u d e d, hi s 1-I,:nour gave judgment, observirg that such an agreement ought rot to have been entered into without good and sufficient advice, as, in the case of intestacy the plaintiff had the power of conferring a title, and in case of there being a will, he might have been left without control over a single shilling. His Honour, in the case before him, could not apply those particular principles which apply to agree ments in the case of families. Without referring, therefore, to the allegation of intoxication, he dismissed the bill without costa, and without prejudice to an action being brought at bar. ROLL'S Colin'', April 20. ARMSTRONG V. STORER. Lord LANGDALE, in delivering judgment on the petitions in this case, which was tiied last March, said, it appeared by an order, dated the 12th of January, 1841, made with respect to the petition of James Grant, now deceased, the ieceiver of the rents of the estate, as well as the plantations in Jamaica. There had been a reference, to ascertain it Grant had any lien on the 8,654/., the balance which was due to the receiver, Mr. Williams, who had committed an excess in the payment of his account. It was found by the Master that Williams had a lien under a deed bearing date w A i u t g h tes ci t, ran i t B , 4s T , he w od h o ic r l had b ei Williams,ee entered n andua into ragietti by deceased,imh and under whom the present Baraglette, the representative of his father claimed That lien had been aesigried to Barag lette for a sum of 1,7001., which was paid to the representatives of Joseph Storer Williams. The Master found that, under the agreement between Grant and Theodore Wil liams, Baraglette had the lien for 3,6541. 25., the principal, and for 1,8591.125. 2d.• interest. The report was not excepted to, and was confirmed. Mrs. Ann Catherine Storer, the widow, had obtained leave to present a petition against the report, which she accordingly did. The report also prayed fur a reference to review the same, upon two grounds, namely, that the Master was not autho rised to do more than simply to report on the alleged claim of Grant, and ate) that his decision on the claim of Baraglette was made without authority, and that Baraglette having filed bills on behalf of the testator, Anthony Gilbert Storer, could not be allowed to enter into any compromise with Williams's executor for his own benefit, but for the common benefit of all the creditors. As there had been no exceptions taken to the report, no questions whatever raised upon it, and no excuse offered. for the matter not having been brought before the Court in a proper manner, and that it was not even pre tended that there was any error in fact or law committed by the Master, these objections could have no weight whatever. The petition set forth that the profit coming to Baraglette was gratuitous, which assertion was unfounded. Baraglette filed the second bill,which was a bill of review. If it bad been shown in a proper mariner that Baraglette was bound to protect the interests of the creditors, and that he failed in his duty, there might then have been grounds for the appli cation. But the petition did not allege that Grant was not entitled to what he had obtained. The petition must, there fore, be dismissed with costs. The case was directed to be spoken to on Saturday. NELSON V. DIINCOMBE. His LORDSHIP gave judgment in this cause, and went in extenso through the details. It appeared that the plaintiff Nelson was the residuary legatee of Mrs. E. Nelson, for whom Duncombe acted as personal representative. Mrs. Nelson had appointed Mr. Nelson as her sole agent, but subsequently, in a codicil to her will, she joined Duncombe with him in the executor ship. Duncombe administered to the estate, and was pre pared to settle with Nelson, claiming, however, the ex penses at which he had been for sustaining the plea of unsound mind, and in obtaining the commission of lunacy. Mr. Nelson objected to this, and filed a bill. after which Mr. Duncombe filed a cross bill. The alleged lunacy was not sustained. his Lordship here went into all the circumstances of the case, which have appeared before the public, and decided upon granting the reference to the Master to ascertain the state of mind of the plaintiff, and to make a report with respect to the expenses incurred. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, April 20. (Sittings in Banco.) ICYNE V. EVERSHAW. Mr. MONTAGUE CHAMISIRS applied for a rule to set aside the non•suit in this case. It was tried before Mr. Baron ;-.lderson at the last assizes of Lewes, and the facts were shortly these :—lt appeared that plaintiff was a builder, and defendant a solicitor; that plaintiff built houses at Brighton, which he had let to tenants, but was pulling down a wall of one of the Louses when defendant interfered and told plaintiff to desist, which he refused. Defendant then brought a police-officer, and plaintiff still persevering, both parties went to the town-hall before the magistrates, and eventually went to trial. That the only evidence given was to the effect that the witness heard that the house in question had been mortgaged, and that defendant was solicitor to the mortgagee.—Rule granted. THE QUEEN V. PARKER. ... Mr. Sergeant SHEA moved for a rule to set aside the ver dict in this case. The case was tried before Lord Denman at the sittings alter last term at Guildhall, and a verdict re turned for the Crown. Sergeant Shea now moved upon affidavits. Lord DENMAV intimated that it had better be brought on when the defendant was brought up for judgment. In the case of TIIE QUEEN V. LEWIS, the same course was directed by the Court.

Mr. Sergeant BYLES moved for a rule to show cause why the verdict in this case should not be set aside and a non-suit entered ; or why the damages in the case should not be re at the last York 1501., assize , before Mr. Justice Patteson, and a verdict given ''the plaintiff for 1501 en for The actio ncontract between arose out of a theparties, in The case was tried which Mr. Kilner, the defendant, engaged to supply the plaintiffs with 100 shares ' in the Huddersfield and M anchester Railw ay at 15r. premium each.

Several objecti ons were taken at the time on the part of the de fendant, but the grGund s on wh i ch h e (M r .

LORD MAYOR'S COURT, April2o (Before the RECORDER.) TINE CHAMBERLALN OF LONDON V. STURT AND OTHERS. This was an action brought by the Corporation of Londor, to recover certain penalties from the defendants, for having carried on the profession of wholesale traders within the limits of the City, without having previously purchased the City freedom. Sir Thomas Wilde (with whom were Mr. Gurney, Mr. 11. Bill, and Messrs. Ryland and Laurie, city pleaders) ap peared for the plaintiff, and The Solicitor-General, with whom were Mr. Butt and Messrs. Randall and Altcar (city pleaders), appeared for the defendants. The usual preliminaries having been gone through, The SOLICITOR. GENERAL entered a protest against the case being tried in this court, and another against the mode in which the jury had been empannelled ; whereupon Sir Thomas WILDE couriterpleaded, and said that the course now to be taken would be for his Lordship to appoint proper parties to inquire into the mode in which the jury had been empannelled._ _ _ _ The S4LICITOR-GENERAL hoped that R 3 be was ignorant of the practice of the Court, it would not be considered un reasonable if he expressed a hope that he might be informed by the plaintiff's agents of the party who had made up the jury list, because that information did not appear upon the record, as wrs invariably the custom in other courts. Sir T. WILDE said that no such custom prevailed in other Courts. Mr. Burr contended that it did. The RECORDER hoped that the parties would come to some agreement, whereby the necessity of trying the objections of the Learned Coun'el tor the defendant might be obviated. The SOLICITOR•GENERAL hoped that his Lordship would try the question himself. "The RECOSDER-I am not an unindifrerent person.— (Laughter ) The SOLICIToR-GENERAL—Why, my Lord, it is a misfl r tune in cases of this kind that, it there be an objection taken to the mode of conducting, there is no human being unindif ferent. The jury cannot• be unindifferent persons, for they are citizens of London. The RECORDER—How do you know that they are citizens of London ? The SOLICITOR-GENERAL—We shall find that out by-and by. I shall be quite willing for your Lordship to try whether the jury was empannelled by an indifferent person or not. The RECORDER—You are willing, in fact, to make me your neminee. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL—Precieely so, my Lord. Before issue, however, is joined upon this, I hope your Lordship will consider us entitled to some indulgence, because we are proceeding upon a matter which involves a great constitu tional question, and we have not the same meens of informa tion as my Learned Friend possesses. I should therefore, before issue is joiner!, pray your Lordship to allow me to make an alteiation in the challenge which I have put in to the jury, viz., to the effect that the inhabitants of the Cripple gate ward, out of which this jury has been empannelled, are not unindiflerent persons. Sir THoetas WILDE apprehended that it was contrary to all practice to allow a proceeding of that character and ten dency, in cases of this kind. He never before heard of such alterations being allowed. He had already counter pleaded to the objection of his Learned Friend, and really if this proposed alteration were permitted, his Learned Friend might propose alterations in perpetuity. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said that the proceedings had as yet only been ore tenus, and as his client, as well as himself, were entire strengers to the practice of the Court, he hoped his Lordship would not object to the alteration. He would undertake not to propose any further alteration. The RECORDER said that the Learned Solicitor General had already made a solemn suggestion upon the record, and he could not see how he could properly allow him to alter hit objection. The SOLICITOR GENERAL again urged his ignorance of the practice as a ground for the extension of some indulgence towards him. His Loomed Friend on the opposite side had every advantage over him in respect of the customs and practice of the Court. He had learned practitioners of the Court on all sides ready to consult with him on behalf of the plaintiff. He certainly did not expect to have been met with such determined opposition and severe adhesion to the strict letter of the practice of the Court on the part of his Learne.l Friend on the opposite side. Sir THOMAS Wier*: said that his Learned Friend had no reason to complain of ignorance of the Court, for the gentle man that instructed him was actually one of the attorney's of the Court. Sir TIIO3IAR WILDE said, his Learned Friend must have peculiar notions of the proceedings of the Lord Mayor'e Court. He seemed to infer that the jury came there prejudiced in favour of the plaintiff. But he was not content to come there and raise the question of juris diction, but had expressed his intention to take objections in every stage of the case. The objection lie now proposed to raise was simply this—whether the sheriff', officer, who eared nothieg, not a farthing, whether the plaintiff pained the action or not, was a proper person to summon the jury. That was the que-.lion which he wished to raise, and out of it to ground a challenge to the array. But when his Lordship knew that the officers had nothing mote to do with the selection of the jury than any other person living, but that other pereone were entitled to elect them—that they happened to occur in the list which happened to be apportioned to this month—that: persons serving on juries were elected for e, r tain'inatters in the year, and not selected to try any parti cular case The'REcotthEn intimated that the list contained freemen and non-freemen ; in fact, all who were qualified to fill the office. Sir THOMAS WILDE said he was only showing the little value of die objection of his Learned Friend, and why hi. Lordship ought not to entertain it. The jury were selectee by the sheriff's-officer, whom his Learned Friend said was not impartial, and, therefore, that the jury were also not impartial. Then, with respect to the am en d men t w hi c h h , proposed to introduce, he (Sir T. Wilde ) was of opinion that such amendments were never allowed in cases of this kind. In pleas of abatement, or in challenges to array, were amend. ments ever allowed ? He did net say what his Lordship might do if he were sitting in a different capacity in another place, but he was sitting here at nisi Fritts. His Learner! Friend had put in issue—he had counter pleaded and they had been entered on the record. But, after this, he now asked to amend these proceedings by making a nevi challenge—for this was the real nature of his application— this was the real secret—but he (Sir T. Wilde) held that it ould not be granted. He, therefore, submitted to his Lordship that this was not a case in which any amend ment should be allowed, as it was mere dilatory proceeding, because it was perfectly obvious that the officer by whom the jury 'Was sunsuit ned could have no interest whatever in the matter. Besides the jury which had been empanneled was as impartial as any jury, empanneled by any other officer, could be. Theref,re, the objection was purely a technical one, and was mule without any just rea son. What was there in it to induce his Lordship to allow the amendment? Most respectfully, therefore, he submitted thet it did not fall within the ordinary principle of amendments; that it could not be properly made, because hi law they could not ground a second challenge on another. How, for instance, was it to be in' reduced on the rec or d? The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said there was no record until it was finally made up. Sir T. WILDE held that the record had been virtually made up. Some discussion then ensued with respect to the way in which returns were made of the Persons qualified to serve on the grand and petty juries. • The RECORDER said the returns made by the different. wardmotes came to the Court of Aldermen, from whom they passed to the Town Clerk. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said the Sergeant-at-Mace then obtained all or some of the returns, he then summoned the jury, who were accordingly brouzht here. The objection was, that these officers (for if there had been a sheriff there would have been no difficulty in the matter), that was, the aldermen and ward officers The RECORDER—They are not officers. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said these persons and the al dermen with whom they acted, first return a list of persons qualified to serve as jurors, and then " somebody," out of all these returns, who is a freeman of the City of London, se lects the juries. Wh e th er t hi s was directly a fixed rule or by rotation, he did not know. The RECORDER. —Nobody selects. Suppose it was done by an act of Common Council? The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said it would no doubt be a valid act. The RECORDER. --That is conceding the whole question. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL.—II might be an act of Com mon Council that the persons should be taken by rotation. I have the Act in my hands, but I can find nothing about rotation or anytlsing else.—( Laughter.) The SOLICITOR -GENERAL said, the Act showed him that the jury were to be chosen out of the ward of Cripplegate. This would enable him to shape his challenge, which would be to the effect, that the aldermen and inquest were citizens, and interested in the question at issue. After wishing that the jury bad heard the able arguments of his Learned Friend before the House of Lords, in the ease of the " Queen aga i nst O'C onnell, " he proceeded to say that his Learned Friend had insinuated to the jury who.were to try the case that he (the Solicitor- General) charged them with partiality —a line of conduct which he considered unworthy of the hieh stand ing of his Learned Friend. He repudiated the charge that he attributed the slightest shadow of partiality to the gentlemen constituting the jury This was a great constitutional question, which, if not settled in that Court, would have to be decided by.the House of Lords. He thought no more of attributing partiality to the jury or the officers by whom they were summoned, than he did of making such a charge against his Lordship. After some further remarks, he read the challenge to the array, w hi ch set forth that the persons elected at wardmotes held before Alderman Challis, on the 21st and 22d of. December, and the two fol lowing days at the boys school, R edcrose-street, to serve as jurors, were elected by aldermen, and that the divers persons forming the inquest, and ea c h o f them, were freemen of the city of London, and interested in the issue of the case, and would participate in the penalties s oug h t to be r e covered by this ac'ion, and that the defendant Henry Sturt prayed that the panel might be quashed. Sir T. WILDE said, that was a new challenge from be ginning to end. The - Sommott-GEtiznAL—W e ll, my Learned Friend, may plead a demurrer. The REcoRDEE—Then you mean to impeach t he unindif ferency of those gentlem en , the jury, who were elected and sent here. 1:11) Sotacrron.thatEnAL intimated that that was the object of the challenge, and applied to have it introduced in the former challenge to the array. Sir Tuomns WILDE said at first he understood that the application of his Learned Friend was to amend the record, but it was in substance and in form an application to with draw the old challenge and to substitute a new one. The IlEcottuzit—lle wishes to incorporate the two. Sir T. WILDE said, nevertheless, it was an application to withdraw the former challenge, and to make a new one. The RECORDER—It is in substance that. • Sir T. WILDE submitted that it_could not be done, because there was no jurisdiction. He knew of no instance, and yet his attention had been peculiarly given to the subject of challenges. It may be proper to counterplead assuming the amendment made. There were three things to be considered, first, the freedom from the jurisdiction of any challenge ; secondly, the objection; and thirdly, the right to sustain that ob jection in this Court. His Lordship was aware that the panel was first sent to the inquest, and it was for them to make the array. The Solicitor-General had raised the ground that this was a great constitutional question, and had asserted that the body 'who made that array was too indefinite in law. He (Mr. T. Wilde) referred t the case of Mr. O'Connell, and sta ed that he bad challenged the array, because there was fraud in the case. That, it was true, was a great question, but, like all such que,tions, there might be great abuse, and this, he conceived, was an instance. The question was really as to whether there was any jurisdiction, for if there were not, there was plainly no discretion to be exercised, but all precedent bad shown that there was jurisdiction. Yet, nevertheless, as this was a matter of greAt importance, he wend pray for time to consider the valichty of the amendment. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL would not include any of the popular matter which his Learned Friend had introduced into his address, but he must say that this was a question the importance of which it was impossible to exaggerate. If his Learned Friend would allow, instead' of arguing merely for the amendment, that if the time were given the position of a new challenge should be permitted, he was quite ready to submit to the delay. That would certainly be the more convenient course, for if not raised here the ques tion would certainly be raised elsewhe:e. and would save the inconvenience of carrying two cases to the House of Lords instead of one. The RECORDER suggested that there were more cases than one. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL thought that made no difference, for if there were nh.eteen cases, he conceived that no diffi culty would arise in amalgamating all the other cases after the first. After some conversation, in which the Sotterzoß-GEstrAtAL stated, that he did not conceive that a jury could be eir pan nailed through any other agency than the irquest, but if the challenge was now refused to him he should' make it in a Court of Error, . The RECORDER said, that a point had been put to him, and that was, that if this delay were to ba allowed, there would be a different jury at the next hearing from that which was now challenged, so that the challenge, as well as the jury. would have gone off. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL conceived that the dely would only be in the nature of an adj mrnment, so that no incon• venience would arise on that account. Sir Tnostas WILDE objected to an alteration of the mode of challenge. The RECORDER conceived that he should not be difp , sect to entertain any different moth , of challenge than that which had already been made. He thought that the cause ought not to be decided by persons who were strangers to the customs and privileges of the City, and he would rather that the course should be by consent than an appeal to his jurisdiction. He should wish yen ranch that there should be such a challenge made as would oblige a return to be made of how really the jury was returned. Th is would occasion no difficulty, as the real fad of right of trial would then be developed, and the right itself might be tested by writ of error, and he did wish that some agree ment should be come to, to save confusion on the record. The Soucr TOR-GENERAL thought, that of course the ad journment would be by consent. Sir TIIO3IIAS WILDE thought that his Learned Friend ought not to be permitted to go otherwise than on his first challenge. The 'RECORDER decided that he would not allow the defendant to substitute in the challenge, and the adjourn ment ought either to be by consent, or that the parties should join issue. The SoLICIToR-GENERAL then would join issue. At this point the jury were allowed to retire for a few minutes. • On the return of the jury the Solicitor- General opened the • proceedings by calling • Mr. Sewell, the Sergeant -at-Mace, who stated that he was aware that the return of parties fit to serve on juries was made to the Town Clerk's office by the several inquests of the different • wards, but with the general business he had nothing to do, as Mr. Gore, his deputy, does it for him, there being no fees Mr. Gore was then called, and stated to the S • General that he acted on behalf of the Seijeant-at- Mace, and that he obtained the lists from the Town- Clerk's office for summoning the juries. That he received • the list only of such wards as were required for each month, and that, therefore, he received a list every month. Those lists varied in numbers, going from 24 up to 150. When the list contained as many as 60, he sum moned them all ; but when there was more than seventy, but in consequence of removals or allowances i n Court he found his numbers reduced, he was obliged to summon all remaining on the panel. When he had more on the panel than he required, he consulted the lists of last year, and omitted those who had served twelve months before, in order to save them trouble. When thi s ru l e cou ld not be observed, he took the names as they came, always securing 48. In the present case, be went to the Town- Clerk's office a few days before the commence ment of April, at which time he received the returns in Court, of which he took copies the corrected copy he produced. In that copy there were 48 names. He had not summoned thewhole of the 48, having omitted four, because be could not find the parties. He made a rough copy of the 48 before he went out to summon the persons, 44 of whom he had summoned. With respect to the other four, he went to their residences, but he was in formed that they had left, and he therefore left no summons, not having learned where they were gone, though in one or two cases he had inquired, and had learned that they had left the ward. This was the case with respect to a person of the name of Smith. To the RECORDER—The witness stated that he was not at liberty to follow the parties summoned beyond the bounda ries of the ward. To the SoLICITOR-GENERAL he stated, that with regard to Lea, another of the four, he had been told that he had gins to Goswell-road, beyond the bounds of the City, but with respect to Pugh, he had made no particular inquiry. With respect to the list he kept it himself and made a re turn of the parties summoned to the office of the Deputy Registrar. Mr. Brandon, deputy-registrar, was next examined, and stated that there was no.list beyond that which he received from the summoning officer. He never saw the paper. Cross -examined—Th e papers before the Court contains the names of all those persons liable to serve in the wardmote in quest ion. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL stated that that was the evidence which he had to submit in support of his allegation, and he thought that it clearle supported his allegation. Sir T. WILDE said that the evidence did no such thing. Charles Sewell, who was a freeman, was charged with haying made a panel, which panel he had never seen. The navel was made out by another person, who acted ministe rially. He received the panel. and was instructed o summon all that he might find liable to .eve, and he returned a list of those that were liable to serve, and be summoned. What in the world had that to do with the panel? The panel of the jury contained the names of the whole forty-eight jurors who had been summoned. The evidence adduced did not in the least eunport the challenge against the array. The Some-nem-GENERAL being about to reply to Si Thomas Wilde's objections, was interrupted by that Learned Gentleman, who contended that he had no right whatever to reply, after having sat down. bystating that "that was his After some discussion it was ultimately decided that the Solicitor-General might if he chose address his Lordship. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL accordingly proceeded to answer the objection of his Letirned Friend, who he said must not suppose that because he happened in this case to appear as counsel for the City of London he had it in his power to stop every one's mouth that might appear against the interests for which he appeared.--(Laughter.) He (the Solicitor-General) appeared there as Counsel for one of her Majesty's subjects, and as an interlocatory question had arisen in these proceedings, he presumed that he had a perfect right to address his Lordship upon it, who, be hoped, would treat this subject with the seriousness and attention which it deserved. He had no wish whatever to occupy unnecessarily the time of the Court, because he happened to be concerned in cases which demanded his presence else where at that moment. Whet was the allegation which he had submitted on behalf of the defendants in this case ? That the array was made by Charles Sewell and that in stead of the complete list ofjurors liable to serve on this occa sion, only 48 had been returned ; andeit was from that paper and that pc per alone which lay before the gentle man that occupied the seat underneath his Lordship, that Sewell or hie deputy had returned the jurors who had been called into the box. He wished to ask, if he paper Which had been produced was not the array, which was the array? If diet paper had net lo n produced before the Court, there would have been no other instrument. The second objection to the array w •s, that it was made by a particular individual who was interested in the issue of the trial. Now, if the paper before his Lordship was not the array, there was, in fact, no array at all. was fro m that paper that the jurors had been called, and in all ordinary vises that was termed the array, He apprehended that the question whether the officer, the s rereanteat-Mace, had made the array or not was per !tly immaterial. The officer received the list of 150 parties liable to serve in ordinary canes, but as the number was so gr, at he reduced them to CO, which GO constituted the array, and in the se7sAion of. those 60 individuals he was at. perfect liberty to exercise his discretion. If he saw any parties. amongst the 150 parties liable to serve who might be favourable to that party against whom he entertained same dislike, he might refuse to select them. And in the present case be (the Solicitor-General) had aright to assume that Sewell, or the party who had returned the jurors in this case, had an interest in the result of the action, prejudicial to that of his clients. And he muesn,atosungothht bfoepratrhotlyid s . that the li s t, i n thi s case, was chosen by the names having (bteheen stehirinewitennionteonearayel)lopttui r il p g o - s b e ''x that ; S t e l :Ae ‘ ' as l m by whom the li s t h a d b een returned, and he contendede that i t i li n e hld p i a ff r e t r 3 e , e r t e p tu e r rs n o h n tg , wthhieeh Theenseelbmouifthetd ;ler. Sewell l, w e e a u s nor an In delegating to the Sergeant -at-Mace, the P owe of Co et ii in allowed that he was an un i ndifferent officer of the he tion of London, b ecause h e was enabled to choose a small out o pora l; out of a large number of jurors. Th at officer hadheld-hisa office sixty and bad no d ou b t di scharged his duties in a proper manner, but that was not the questi in. The ques tion was not whether this officer conducted himself in a proper manner, but whether he was an indifferent or unindifferent officer of the Corporation. He knew that he was the person entrusted with the list, that he reduced it, and that he made the selection, and conse quently the array, sometimes for one cause and ' so metimes • for another. At any rate it was this officer who made a list from the large list which contained this panel. Thus the , Sergeant -at-Mace had the power to omit the names of par ties who might entertain peculiar views and might give a desired decision. It was enoug h to say t h a t he e had ei t ,he tt power, whether ex erc i se d proper ly or not. i f he ht either reject or reta i n a cons id erable number. aerent or not. He submitted that he was question then was, whether he was and therefore that the panel must. be set aside, o ; t un unindifferent, inasmuch ht as Charles Sewell, the Sergeant-at-M ,cc, was a freeman of the City. Sir should have irTrluAs WlLDS devot e e v d as his as ta to l n eh is t h s e t d o arle in the v that his Learned a Friend he had done. It was perfectly evid en t th a t the piece of parch ment whi..h his 11,arneil Friend had christened a panel was a legitimate instrument. It was returned by the proper officer, and contained the names of forty-eight persons, forty four of whom were summoned. He had only to summon those on the list, and had no authority to make it a panel. • The panel was made by the wardmote, and the officer had no power ova. it. He, therefore, submitted that the objection was not tenable. The RECORDZR then proceeded to give his decision on the point. He said the issue was that Charles Sewell made the array. Now la was of opinion that the jury list was made at the inquest during the wardmote from the list presented by the inquest jury, and that the duty of the officer was in that respect ministerial only, and that omission to furnish the names of tour persons who had moved out of the ward, and whom he consequently was unable to summons, could not vitiate ttie only array—namely, that presented by the in quest at the wardmote. He did not think he was anything more than a summoning officer, limited to the ai ray. That was the object of the presentment of the inquest; and if they were to enter into the history of the practice, they would find that it was of the most popular description. It was comprehended in every presentment to every ward mote that a return sl!auld be made by the inquests of all those who were liable to serve on ju ries within each wardmote, and the entire City constituted a large aggregate number of wardmotes. Of this process they had a return of the inquest from all ' persons throughout the City who were liable to serve as jurors in the City. Then earal the Act of the Common Council, which direeted (the number being far greater than was required fur the City Courts), that they s , ould take in rotation a return Of two wards for each month throughout the year ; and as there were more wards in the City than months in the year, it frequently occurred that they had three wards in &ails particular month. Every wardrnote contained within it a court leet, at which the proper officer presided to see it rightly done, but almost: everything was done by the public, empanelled as a jury_ It was a most ancient and popular institution, and what were' they charged with? With having resorted, according to• ancient custom and by the law of the c ity, to a most popular • mode to arrive at the names of persons liable to serve , as jurors; thus, instead of being referred to the nomination.. of one officer, they had the collective inquests of the City re- • turning from their respective - wards those liable to serve ase jurors. The duty of Sewell's deputy was simply ministerial._ The only defect was this, that he had not signified in thee list which he returned the names of those whom t he was unable to find. He was, therefore, of opi-- rion that the array was Lot made by thee Sergeant nt-Mace, but by those who elected the jareee The objection, therefore, was not, in his opinion, tenet) le. The Recorder must insist upon his right to be referred to as fryer and not as Recorder ; and he would put. the matter •is any way %Oriel) should not inculpate his successor, but he cc 'mid not sign the bill ot exceptions in his c h aracter o f Recru tier. The SOLICITOR-biENERAL then handed chellerg aof the array, on the ground of unindifference in the Sheriff , Al d rmen, and the other members of the Corporation, art cer tain of the instrument, of making the array. Sir T. WILDE objected to the challenge on the ground' the it all the challenges could net he taken at once, on the gr ou nd that the precedents of the books were decided un that eari:nt. The SOLICITOR GENERAL must ask for his Leareied Friend's authority, for it really appeared, to pine that the terms of the cleeieion were, that all challenges should be to ken at the same time; that is, that the challe•oges must be ma ade not as one challenge, but that all should be taken before the other party proceeded. The RECORDER conceived that the challenges were: 'to be taken in succession like a number of- counts, for if 01 to suc ceeded that was sufficient to destroy the arra:v. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said that the points of the: -chal lenges were under different issues. The RECORDER conceived that although the whole, erf the challenges had not been put in upon parchment, : rel. that they were to be considered as so many different chal'le nges. But they must consider the confusion on the record. Sir T. WILDE was of opinion that although the pot lts of challenge might be different, yet the whole of the re asons ought to be stated on the same paper. After a little interruption the SOLICTTOR-GENEINA L re sumed, and stated that he had challenged the array on the ground of several individuals acting from indifferency and if he succeeded on one, that was sufficient, and it was certainly new to him to find that because the parties were , different, -- the cause being the same that he was to be precluded from his challenge, and he apprehended that some ,sufficient authority ought to, be given instead of the vague intie nation, and if his Lordship gave any erroneous intimation he should be entitled to an amendment in the writ of error. The RECORDE,E—Then I will take the matter in eltis way. I will take the parchment as diverse challenges, but not on double challenges. Sir T. WILDE said that his Learned Friend bad. stated that if a second challenge would not be allowed he would be taken by surprise, but he very much doubted whether he had rota long consultation with those who he had instructed him, as to which of his two challenges against the officer who made up the array and the party themselves he should submit first. His Learned Friend had also stated, with his characteristic courage, that he had not quoted any authority in support of his opinion, that the defendant could not now put in another challenge. He had quoted the authority of no less a personage than Lord Coke (than whom a higher authority could not be quoted), who stated, that " if an adversary wished to make any challenges. he must make them all at once." And if that meant any thing, it meant that he was precluded from punting in chal lenges in succession, and he submitted that although those challenges might be tried in succession, yet that they must all be laid before the Court at one and the same time. It was ridiculous for his Learned Friend to say that he was surprised by the objection which he (Sir T. Wilde) had made against the second challenge, because when he informed him at the outset that he would not be permitted to make a second challenge, his reply was, "Oh! we shall see about that afterwards," which showed that he feared be should be unsuccessful in his second attempt to interrupt the progress of the trial, and that be could not therefore be now surprised at the objection taken against the challenge. It was plain that his Learned Friend wished to have as many strings to his bow as be possibly could. The language of Lord Coke was clear, and decidedly against the course pro posed to be taken by his Learned Friend, and he therefore trusted that his Lordship would not sanction it. • -The RECORDER salt that it was perfectly conclusive te his mind that the passage quoted from Lord Coke was against the Learned Solicitor-General, but he was disposed to admit the challenge, although he had no right whatever to make it. • The challenge and the retarn of the inquest having ,been handed in, the Recorder deliberated, aid Sir T. WILDE stated that. a serious question arose as to thee interference with the law of the wardtnotes. The RECORDER conceived that the question would hinges on the way in which the juries were removed. Sir T. Armin thought that that question was already dies.- posed of, and the only question was, whether the further' consideration should come on in the way of challenge or de— murrer. The SOLICITOR GENERAL Conceived that the right of chs lenge had been substantiated, and after considerable deliber a.- tion it was decided that the cause should be adjourned t ill Monday next at ten o'clock, the right of challenge being left to the Solicitor-General, with a power on the behalf of the plaintiffs to question the extent to which it R 'as exercised, the understanding being that the exceptions shot Id be several, but confined under one statement. MARKET NE WS.-(YESTERDAY.. CORN-EXCILILNO E. The arrivals of English Wheat were somewhat on the inerea 0 0 , and of very superior quality, compared with the parcels lately ob. show.
