They thought they were bound to remand the party if any just ground of detention were shown t and he was not entitled to his liberty if detained to answer a charge of desertion. Mr. BROUGHAM then pressed the Court to hear arguments on the validity of the original conviction set out in the return. and separately to decide on the alleged grounds of tletealtion If they simply' remanded the man, he would he greatly 'preju diced i • for he would b e deprived "he benefit of an opi n i An that he was illegally pressed into service; mid if acquitted by the Court-martial, or if fotuxi !Why and punished, he might, although entitled to his discharge, be sent away to South Ame rica for years, and be prevented' from suing out another writ. Mr. PLATT followed on the :Rime side. The COURT said, the only question before them, on the re turn to a writ of Habeas Corpus, was, whether the party was en titled to immediate liberty : if he was not so entitled, they were bound to remand him. ...Now it was clear that a charge of de. • sertion was good groUnd to detain him though, if he were. de tained an improper time without trial, he might have 'ground to apply for his discharge. lie must, therefore, be remanded ; and they could not inquire whether on another ground he might be detained after 04,6 charge was disposed of, or make a pro spective order for his release. They therefore should remand him on the latter part of the return, but they should incite it part of the rule that they gave no opinion on the validity of the conviction, in order to prevent any inference to hits prejudice.— The prisoner was accordingly remanded. • • Be now therefbre moved, that as the keeper of, NV hitecfo4s. street Prison had not made that return, a rule should be grant ed to show cause why that writ of kabccia corpus' sheen! not be set aside. • , The Conn.'. granted'a rule to show cause, intimating to the Learned Serjeant that notice of it ought to ba served on the Warden of thti Plea, the plaintiff in the action commenced stt the Common. Pleas, and the defendant in the present case: COURT OF' CHANCER', Nor. 2G. • WEINIEOLT LOGAN. This was a case of considerable intricacy, in which the goes. tion turned upon the intent expressed in a deed of marriage settlement. The proceedings have become highly complicated by reason of a bankruptcy, and sonic other castialities, which haveoccurred subsequently, and the present motion bi in the nature of an appeal. But the origin of tlit, proceedings was in a deed, by which Mr. Burkitt bound himself, on the marriage of his niece to Mr. Weinholt, to bequeath one half of his efrects, or the amount of it in valuable property, to her and her hus band, it, at the time of his death, he had not married and had. no issue. Neither these contingencies occurred ; but the uncle, notwithstanding, song ht to defeat the gift by subsequent deeds to other quarters, and also by a partial conversion of his pos sessions into real property. It was argued upon a long stream of authoritiess, that the after deeds could not void thefirst grant, because the grantor had reserved a life interest to himself; and all such deeds being in the nature of testamentary instru ments would be insufficient -- againoi k illo first: much more so, • according to all the authorities, if etMined with an evident in , tention to break through the. covenants by fraud or stratagem. —ArguTent adjourned at halt-past two o'clock.

Adverting to the powerful union of interests which has been opposed to me, and to the unavoidable absence of many of ray friends at this season, I feel a comparative degree of pride and satisfaction, that the circumstances attending the contest have inspired me with the most sanguine hopes of future success. I shall persevere with unabated activity; under the confident assurance of increased strength from those friends who will now feel therriselves at liberty to support me. I therefore ear nestly and respectfully solicit the favour of your votes and in fluence upon the next vacancy. I have the honour to be, Ladies and Gentlemen, Your faithful and obliged Servant, J.

SOUTHIVATIX, Nov. 24.—Since our last we have had the greatest and most unexpected change in our Market that has heed known for years. NV e have now a very brisk demand for New Pockets, and at advanced prices. —Kent Pockets are from 71. to 101. 10s. and 111. ; Middle Keuts, 10/. to 141. ; Sussex Pockets, 61. 13s. to Yl, fis. and 91. • very fine, 91. Us. • Kent Bags are so very inferior in quality they are scarcely saleable— the prices are from 6!. to 111. and 121. A cunTous CIRCUMSTANCE occurred at a public. house in Botchergate, in this city, on Monday night, (17th inst.) involving the probable death of an individual. William Dempster, aged 28, lately a soldier in the 22d regiment of foot, and quartered in this city, but now travelling the country as a juggler, was astonishing the natives by thrusting down his throat a nine-inch dinner knife, when he unfortunately let it slip into his stomach There is no doubt of the fact, because the thing was done in the presence of a considerable number of persons. The poor fellow'a sensations may be better conceived than described. Several medical men were atbnce called in ; and one of them had an Instillment made (more by way of sa tisfying the sufferer than with any hope of success), and put it down the man's throat, but could not extract the knife, though Dempster declared that at first he felt the instrument touch'the handle. He is at present at hislodgings in Jullicts-buildings, dreadfully distressed in mind: hitherto he has felt no pain, but considers himself (we fear with too much reason) at a very short distance from the grave. Various gentlenien of the faculty visit him daily, and several Of them have distinctly felt the knife on applying th e han d to the abdomen. It is , as we have s w a a i fully, s very blunt. nt ne s a serious warning to persons in the has a common bone h an dl e , an d practice of so dangerously sporting with nature.—( Carlisle Patriot.) BARONY OF STAFFORD. SIR G. JERNINGIIASI V. STAFFORD, COORS, O'D oTtrEna. Mr. CastroELL moved the Court, this morning, on bel.Slf of the defendants, on affidavits for a rule to chew cause why this indictment of a conspiracy for disturbing the said Sir aeorge in the baronial lands of Stafford, should - not be tried in th County of . Middlesex, and not at Stafford, as the affidavits stated that the majority of the Grand Jury before whom .this Bill was found, as well as Mr. Keene, who is acting as the De puty. Under Sheriff; and . 31r. Seckerson, who is the Coroner , of the County, arc in possession of considerable part of the estates claimed by Stafford Cooke, as the liaron of Staffbrd ; and on the ground that the provincial paper, called The Pottery and Stalrbrdthire Advertiser, published in the said County of Staf furl, had inserted many libellous paragraphs against Stafford Coake's Mr. Justice BEST said, he believed many Improper Para• graphs had appeared on both sides. .Mr. Justice BAyLEY observed that he had had many papers sent him about this matter, which he hid MR read. Mr. CAIWPnELL•was about to read several extracts from the newspapers annexed to one of the affidavits, when Loan CHIEF JUSTICE asked if Stafford COoke bad sworn in his affidavit that he was Lord Stafford ? Mr. CA3IFRELL replied, that he had sworn that he is the Lord Stafford in Woad under and by virtue of the Act of Par liament of the Ist of Edavrd Sixth. • LouwentEr JUSTICE—Then take a role to chew cause. THE NIRO v. WICKER. Mr. Airnittws again mentioned this- case, in which he moved for a habeas mya', to bring up the defendant, in cum. tody on a charge of knowingly receiving a stolen horse, and which stood over until further affidavits should be obtained.— The Learned Counsel mw produced the affidavits, and The COURT granted the writ, directing at the same time that a certiorari should issue to remove the depositions. GAMBLING. TUE KING r FIELDER AND A r.nnmar.. The LORD ettir,r JurricE,oi;serving the Solicitor.oe• neral in Court, adverted to Mr. Justice Bayley's mention yester day of a case tried before him, in whi c h he thought Fielder was a party, ami stated thit the Learned Judge had since ascer tained the fact. • Mr. Justice BAY Ei:T said, he had looked at his notes, and found that Mr. Fielder was convicted before him in July, 1817, for kee n ing a common gaining-house at No. 2, llennett street, but had never been brought up for judgment. Mr. Aporairtus, ft,r Mr. Fielder, asked whether it was the pleasure of the Court that hitt client should attend to receive judiment ? The Loan CIIIEF JtYsTictc.—This Court does not pass judgment unless called on so to do. Mr. Justice RAirr.rir.-1 thought it my duty to mention the case publicly,, that the fact may be known ; but we do no more. Tbe LORD Co irr-Jtrs.r IcE referred to the motion made yesterday in arrest of judgment on the other indictment, on the absence of local descnption ; and said, that if the Solicitor. General thought he could successfully contend that the objec tion was not laud, the. Court would grant a rule to :Mew cause ; but their present impression was, that the judgment must be arrested. The SOLICITOR-GENED At said, that being only incident. all) brought into these causes, he had not looked into the authorities; but his impresession was, that he could sustain the conviction. _ The Count then granted a rule to sliew cause why the judg. ment should not be arrested, observing, that the ease must be argued as though the indictment mentioned no parish at all ; as, if the parish were material, it was wrongly stated, and the defendants were entitled to an acquittal. As the defendants had received no notice of *lotion for judg. ment on the other charge, it was ordered to stand over till the second day of next term, for which day the rule was dra w n up . They were permitted to depart, on entering into their own re. cognizances in 2,00 W., to appear on the case in which the rule was granted; but were admonished that they must put in good bail to the other, or they would be liable to be taken. IN TIM lIATTEU or TuomAs NOGEII9. On a former day, a writ of habeas Corpus was srented to bring up the body of Thomas Rogers, from his Majesty's ship the Queen Charlotte, on a suggestion that he was wrongfully detained there, being no seaman, for some ofl'ence against the revenue lap's. - The return to that writ by the Captain of the vessel was now read. I: set forth a conviction more than three years ago, whereby Thomas Rogers was convicted un der the Act for " The better prevention of Smugglin ," of being found in a ve ssel hovering . about the coasts w ith spi rits, and was adjudged to serve in the navy as a seaman for five years. It then stated, that in pursuance of this judgment, he was sent on board his Majesty's ship the Bearer, and sailed for South America, where he remained for two years; and that being . mustered as a seaman of and belonging to that ship, and receiving full pay, lie deserved, and was now detained on board the Queen Charlotte, to answer for such desertion.

He t h a t the party was i n custody on a t w h a e s r a e w tu a rn re . th if at it he ar co p u ea b r i ed not offer affidavits in contravention of criminal charge; but lie contended that the word " desertion" did not necessarily imply a crime, unless it were coupled with words chewing that the " desertion" was from some lawful ser vice.

Mr. Ilitouctuat then urged, that though he was excluded from denying the truth of the return, he might still offer affi. davits to avo id i ts f o rce. Thus, admitting that Rogers was a seaman, receiving pa, and mustered on board the vessel, l ie Was entitled to show that though a seaman de facto, he was not This was an action by Miss • Harriet Wilson, against Sir Henry Wilson, het brother, to recover certain quarterly pat'. meats, which it was alleged he a g reed to make .to her,. in consideration of her . resigning the situation of governess, which she held in bold Sandwich's family.• The declara tion contained a count alleging, that in consideration that the plaintiff would relinquish the situation she then held, the defendant would allow her 501. a quarter: a count lay , ing a past resignation of the service as a consideration .for a similar promise ; and a count stating the consideration to be that she would • never engage herself in the same capacity to any one. At the trial,' before the Lord Chief-Justice, in Middlesex, It appeared that Miss Wilson, a young lady of great accomplish. meats, was living as governess in the family Of Lady' Sandwich, where she was highly respected, and receiving a salary of 1001. per annum, when Sir . H. Wilson diScovered her to be his s:ster, and prevailed on her to leave her occupation, as unbecoming one related to him, and accept the shelter of his house. After some time her continued residence with him became unpleas a nt to twine members of the family ; and he, by letter, pioposed to allow her 601. pet quarter as an adequate income, but did not in his letter. refer to her quitting the service of Lady Sandwich, as the consi— deration of this promise, if it were to be regarded as a promise. It appeared from other letters, that for some time the 21)01. a.year was paid, but that afterwards Sir H. Wilson expressed dissatlsfac, two with some parts of his sister's conduct, and refused to con tinue the allowance longer. On this evidence the Lord Chief Justice thought, though with expressions of 'reluctance, that the plaintiff had not made out her case on any of the promises upon which she sought to recover, and directed a uonsuit, with liberty to move to enter a verdict for 3001., the amount of the arrears. A rule having been obtaiped according to this per mission. Mr. LITTLEDALE now showed cause on the part of Sir IL 'Wilson ; and contended that the evidence did not establish un absolute promise at all; that it - absolutely negatived the consi deration alleged ; and that even if the promise were given, and liven on the consideration stated, still it would not he binding in law, because it was not a contract to be performed within a year ; and therefore the full consideration should he.ve been stated in writing, agreeably to the provision of the Statute of Frauds. Mr. OVENEY addressed the Court on the other side. ' Ine - 1.0 lin CHIEF JUSTICE said that, at the trial he very came to the conclusion that the plaintiff had not made out her case, and to that conclusion he was very Un willingly forced to adhere. It a pp eare d t h at s h e l e f t the how, of Lady - Sandwich, not on any promise of an annuity, but Irfi the invitation of Sir H. Wilson to make liis house her fu ture home. She quitted that situation, relying on his bounty and kindness; subsequent circumstances had induced him to withdraw that bounty ; but the Court could not found on it a legal obligation when none was intended. Perhaps, I . owever, Sir H. - VVilson might voluntarily g i ve w h at he did not choose to yield on compulsion. The other Judges concurred in the legal opinion, and seve rally intimated a hope, that though the defendant had a right to the opinion of the Court on his legal obligation, he would ' make some provision for so near a relative und er th e dram stances disclosed at the trial. THE KING V. EDWARD BEVAN, Mr. Bevan, a Magistrate or Herefordshire, who_ was eon victed at the last assizes for that county on a criminal inform. tion, charging him with illegally imprisoning two 'labourers named Probert and Bolton, now' appeared to receive judgment. Air. Justice BEST read the cvidennt the trial, which was reported in Tut Styx. • It may he reinembered that it was then proved that Mr. Austin, a miller at Kington, eMployed work men to cleanse the watercourse turning his mill, which passed by Mr. Bevan's house; that Mr. Bevan, after requiring them to desist, sent Probert, one of the men, to the round-house, where he was confined till evening ; and on the following day, he insisted on proceeding against him under the Trespass Act, contrary to the opinion of hi brother Magistrates ; and that he arrested another workman named Bolton, who Was engaged in the work, but who was only taken to the house Orthe constable, Affidavits were now put in on the part of the defendant, alleging that i%lr. Austin was much exceeding his rights in, deepening the water-course ; that Ale. Bevan's house was co. dangered by the proceedings; that a mob was collected; and that he acted bona fide, and without malice or corruption. There were also affidavits from the Chairman of the Quarter Sessions,. from the Members for the county, and from several Magistrates, speaking highly of the general deportment and Conduct of the defendant. he affidavita of Mr. Austin anti others negatived the alle. ' gation of riot, and represented the conduct of Mr. Bevan as , without 'adequate cause. The Cots ire observed, that it was manifest that a gentleman who had so little self-command as Air. Bevan ought not to con tinue to act in the commission :of the peace, They thought, under all the circumstances the ends of justice would he best attained, both to the individ ua l an d t h e pu bli c, If the defend ant would withdraw from his office as a Magistrate; would make compensation to the labourers aggrieved ; and would pay the expences of the prosecution; the parties undertaking that no action for false imprisonment should be brought against him. Mr. Bevan, after some hesitation, acceded to these terms, and no judgment was prayed. THE KING v. EDGENLEY SHERWOOD, AND JONES. Mr. CHITTY renewed, the motion .which he made yestergay for a rule calling on Mr. Edgerley, a s th e pri nter, an d Sherwood and Mr. Jones, of Paternoster-row, as the pub lishers, of a pamphlet relating to the charge of murder against John Thurtell, to thew cause why a criminaHtforrnation should not be exhibited against them. lie had now a positive affidavit that Mr. Edgerley was the master of the house, 76, Fleet-street,. and the printer of the work ; and that the other defendants were the publishers. This pamphlet .not only as serted, in positive terms, that Thurtell was guilty of the mur der of Mr. Weare, but also charged him wall attempting to assassinate Mr. Barber Beaumont, and a person named Woods. The Loan Cuter JUSTICE—Take a rule to ahew cause. COURT OP COMMON PLEAS, Nov. 26. LEVY AND ANOTHER V. ViDITTADADD. Serjeant VAUCIIAN moved for a rule to show cause why the writ of Hams Corpus', by which the defendant had been removed from Whitecross-street Prison to the Fleet, should not be set aside, and why the defendant should not be re manded to his original custody. He made this motion upon affidavits, stating that the defendant, having been arrested at the suit of the plaintiff; went to Whitecross-street Prison, and whilst there petitioned the Insolvent Court fin his release under the Insolvent Act;—that having been remanded for 14 months by that Court for fraudulent conduct, he got a friendly de tainer from the Court of Common Pleas lodged against him ; that in consequence of it, he was removed by a writ of Habeas Corpus from Whitecross-street Prison to the Fleet ;—that he WAN now enjoying the rules of that prison, and that he was thus avoiding the sentence of the Insolvent Court. From the circumstances mentioned in these affidavits, the Learned Ser.- jeant maintained that the keeper of Whitecross-street Prison ought to hive returned to the writ of habeas corpus , that the defendant was in his cus t o dy f or 14 mont h s under the sen tence of the Insolvent Court—in which case the defendant w ould not have been allowed to remove himself to the Fleet. • PRE ROGATIVE COURT, Nov. 21. CtlttlaNO V. 7 . IIOitNToN. Dr. DODSON said, that in this case the Learned'Counsel on the opposite side had - contended that the. facts did not billar sufficiently to establish the rule obtained. The facts are these : Colonel 'Thornton quitted England in 1813, and went to reside in France, where he took up his domicile, and 'irsided chiefly in Paris, until his death in 1823, and the will Made by him was to 411 intents and purposes null end void; he remained itr France from the year 1815 till the time of his death, excrot ire 1818, when he came to this country for the purpose of nusi. ness'only, and r e t urne d i n a very short time ;jte had applied to the King of France, and was by him authorised to be tio- - . miciled in that country according to its customs : he runained in that country without the intention of r,•turningte England, and he died a domicile in France; and by the -civil law, the law of domicile is quite appliCable to Colonel Thornton's ease, Sir Joust Nieuwe; in giving the judgment or the Court, said it was a question air the Will of Colonel Thomas Thornton, dated on the ad Oct. 18111, and he died in Mareb, 1823. The head of the Will described him as of Thornville Reyel, in the East !tiding of Yorkshire, and of the principality of Clutin-• baud, in the kingdom of France; he gave all his real and per sonal estate in trust to pay, all his d e b ts , l egac i es, and fire eral expcnces ; it authorised one P r i sc ill a D arn , to reside in any of his houses in England or . France, and to ha,' the use of the furniture, &c.; to her he gave an annuity of 6004 per annum ; provides for the education of his natural daughter until she be comes of' 21 years, and gave her a life interest in his property ; in failure of issue the property devolves to sorts other persons of his family ; the trustees were authorised, with the consent of the tenant for life, to meil any of his estates in England or France, the produce of which was to be invested in the purchase of estates in England only ; his fu rn it ure an d other moveables to die sold, and the proceeds to become part of the surplus to be invested in property in England. His plate, hooks, paint ings, &p. were to be considered heir-loonut and sot to be sold. He gave a few small l egac i es , one of 100/4 to a person whom he described as Thomas Thornton, his son by his wife ; he di rected the possessor of the estate to take the name of 'Thornton, and appointed Messrs. Curling and Roussel executors. The will was a very long one, written in English, manifested sewed,: ing to the English law, and was attested by-three witneases, Mr. Curling, in April Nit, was sworn to the testato r ' s w ill , and the widow, Mrs. Thornton, put in an allegation, w hi c h did not affect to deny the existence of the will, but suggested that it Was not valid according to the law of France, and whether it was the law of F rance that ought to govern the validity of the.will. The all gation pleaded that in 1815 ColOnel Thernten went to Franc ,and determining to reside there, he came again to England to fin a lly arrange hi s affairs, and returned to. France, and fixed his residence hi Paris. In IBlti, in purauanee of his determination, he applied to the King of France for his' license to domicile in France; he obtained the Royal license on -30th January 1317, by which he enjoyed all the civil rights so long as he should remain in France, and was created nn.tquis de Ponti ; he continued to reside in France until March 183. when he died. If a person died without making a will, it was fairly to be 'presumed that his property was to lie disposed a according to the law of the place where' he was lloiniciltd, but if' he made a will, his intention was to be taken from the will itself, and his property must be so governed. Colontl Thornton was a British subject, but resident in a f ore i gn country, possessed of the rights and privileges of the coun try, ;qui was there domiciled. Many cases had been'adduced to prove to him the manner of personal property being dispo4ed of, but not one had bee n s h own o f t h e disposition of property under the present circumstances. After svoighing well the facts of the case us they titand,:he (Sir John Nickell) wits decidedly of opinion that the allegation of Mrs. Thornton ought to be rejected, and the diaposition of the will adhered' to,—Allega-• tion rejected accordingly. THE LATE HORIUD 'ItfIURD.2EIL nritTPORD GAOL.—The situation of the pd. soners Thurtell, Probert, and Hunt, in Ilertford:Gtiol, con tinues unaltered. Thurtell maintains his wonted composure, expectation that his triad will be post, p a o nd ne a d i : Pe al`re oss t tert l l l a a y ve Ie some wrote a long leiter t o his soli ciPor„ . which,. With the seal unbroken, was transmitted: to London by. lea night's post. Ile appears impatient for the arrival of Mr. Jay or Mr. Fenton f and the other prisoners are equally anxious to Bee their respective solicitors. Probert, in particula4 is eager in his inquiries for Mr. 'Williams, in consequence of the commu-. nication mentioned yesterday, which that gentleman made in his behalf to Mr. George Nicholson, one of the agents for the' imoseeution. :The gaoler, it was said, mentioned yesterday to Thurtell, the mysterious rumours. in the newspapi.tr respecting the disappearance of the &Y. Mr. Colton. Thor. tell admitted his recollection of that gentleman, and having met him in several places, but said he had not seen him for a considerable time, and absolutely denied having been with him and the late Mr. Weare at the last Epsom races. Thurtell cats heartily, and sometimes seems irritated with theinadequate process of carving and•lielping, which a small tin knife anil a wooden fork impose. Ile drinks a pint and a half or a quart of beer in the day. His family have confined their communica_ tion with him to the employment of Mr. Jay to pnpare and conduct his defence.; their wish, es communicated to him, was, that he should make no tioncealinent of his real case, but act in obedience to the obligation of public justice. Letters are occasionally addressed to hiM, some with subscribing names, although strangers to hire, and others anonymous, containing friendly Advice, and religious instroetion ; but these, by h i s manner, he deems r a th er Obtrusive than cousolatory.' Mr. Justice PAU X, who will try the 041150, 11414 already ree. ed copies of' thuprincipal dep os i t i ons .

Ile was immediately to submit it to couti-ael l and ~this day to put it u po n the files of the Court. With reference to the order of the Magistrates, bywhich'Mr. Fenton was excluded, it is right to state that there has be-eit mistake in the copy which has gone before the public. The word in the original is not " advisers," but " adviier," thus expresily confining the admission to one Solicitor. THE BUTCHER'S Tit&f.---A butcher , residing in a village in the immediate vicinity of the Metropolis hal an amazingly fast-trotting galloway, which Mr. 111—.„ tleman of fortu ne i n t h e ' nei ghbourhood, and prid e d Idin s ett possessing a superior stud, and finding himself offal 'outdone by . the butch ers b o y, was most anxious to purchase. The bor.. gam was eventually struck, the purchase money paid, and the horse warranted sound wind and limb. The head itm had ro him under his' immediate care , he was trimmed, trained and got up in the hi g h est sty l e f or action—gay in all his POitits. , No sooner, however, was the saddle put on for his new master, it was found he would not budge an inch. amlessin a rttrogriitle position ; neith er whip nor spur haul any effect; and on re resent_ mg the eircumetan ea to the botch er,ltesaid he warrawart the horse would not go--without the tray. " Not go without the tray?"' exclaimed the purchaser with some astonishment .; " how am I to manage ?" ""That's not pay business," replied the butcher, " he is a sound horse, and us such I warranted hint; but I knew he would never trot unless he had the tray on his bark ; indeed that's the only good trait in his character." " 1:/euce take the tray (trots),' said Mr. NO, Sir, no; I don't know at what game that occurs; for even at Put the trots is the hest card in the peek." " Well, that's very well," replied Mr. 111—.. • " but since you h ave tea dated the horse you in/ have film back at two-thirds my 'purchase," " it *lf raid the butcher, laughing in his sleeve." The proposal was acceded to ; and the butcher's 'horse now " road alon Ahe ad," as gaily as ever , w i t h the tray ou his back, ihe hitcher chuckling over his joke and adding that the tray (:this) had, as usual, won the trick.-
