The late Colonel BosvILLE, when a young man, joined in the suite of an English embassy, which was s.ent to compliment the Emperor of Morocco on his accession to the throne. The dragoman, on reading the letter of congratula tion to his (/reatrsovereign . . made a pause Of about three minutesat the end of every sentence, during which his Imperial Majesty repeated, a few words in a solemn tone of voice ; they had no sooner ended, than the gentlemen of the em bassy, following the example of the interpreter, .made a low bow, and returned thanks.. A mid shipman, who had accompanied the mission front Gibraltar, and was then present, began to enter- tain some suspicions of the nature of the seeming compliment on the part of this august personage. Having a good memory, and being an excellent mimic, he determined, a few days after, to try its effects on a boat's crew of Moors. But he had no Slight."' 011ie"' his resolution into etrect, than they immediately drew their daggers, and would have killed him on the spot had he nut been rescued from their fury. On an explana tion taking place, it was discovered that the identical expressions for which the gentitiman of the embassy bad returned thanks by the most re— spectful obeisance, when duly translated into English, were strictly tantamount to the follow. ing salutation, which is the most execrable th a t can either be uttered or received on the part of a Mahortunedanviz."

GOURT Or CHANCHRY, Nov, 13. noEnn V. ant °NORGE wool), Mr. WETHERELL l'CqUeStOd that the Lord Chantellor would add i something of explanation to the order granted in this case for the Sheriff o pay 36,0091. into the Court, being the price' at which the Ottershaw estates Were sold to the defendant, on condition of a release beinggiven against all reapOnsibi lity. It was not unlikely the conduct of the Sheriff might, independently of the proceedings, become the ground of action in the lower Courts: He prestunttl that; it was not intended that his Lordship's order .shouht screen the Sheriff from his, responsibility to the law. The LOAD CHANCELLOR explained his purpose in granting' the order, which was to secure , the Motif fron, all.responsibi lity of a pecuniary kind, as far as regarded the claim Of the plaintiffs in the cause, and nothing beyond that. • R it (MIURA V. ?Aix.. The parties are soap-boilers., and their manufactory is at }iris. tol. The plaintiff' had been sulmited to the concern about ja nuary last. The defendant had made' representations as to the state of the business, the , stock, and the general profits, which the plaintiff found to be erroneous. The present application prayed the Court to restrain the- defendadt from negocisting such of the bills given for the before-mentioned object by the plaintiff, as were not yet paid; to prevent the defendant from interfering further in the concerns ; and to appoint a receiver to the estate. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL opened the case, and detailed a variety of alleged misconduct in the transactions which had given rise to the present application. Mr. HEALD and Mr. llourzt.t followed op the same side. Mr. Ho RNE was heard fur the remainder of the time tbr the defendant. The Loan CHANCELLOR apologzed fot breaking in upon the a:guinent, but he could only sit till half-p as t t w o o ' c l oe l c i n the hull, and he was only enabled to do that through the kind nessond condescension of the members of Lin c ol n 's-lon. Mr. Ao.tn said, that the Society would be most h a ppy t o do every thing they could towards his Lordslilp i siceommodation and the interests of die public that workmen were daily in attendance during term for the arrangement of the hall afte r the sittings, so as to allow the C o urt the longest possible time. The Loan CHANCELLOR said . he was perfectly sensible of the good will of the Society, but the public ought to know that it was not his fault that he did not sit longer for the dispatch of the business. COURT OF RING'S. BENCH, Nov. 13. PRISON • DISCIPLINE. THE KING V. THE JUSTICES OF THE NORTH RIDING Or YORKSHIRE. [Farther Part scalars.] Mr. ScaaLE'rt moved for a writ of mandamus, directed tct the Magistrates of the North Riding of Yorkshire, connnaud. lag them to act on the report of Martin Stapleton, Esq., re• specting certain abuatts in the House of Correction for that district; and to inquire into and. rectify such abuses. This application W4S grounded on 4 Cleo. IV. c. 64, s. 17, which authorieed any Magistrate of a county or division to enter into and examine any prison within its limits, and if he should dis. cover any abuses, to report the same in writing to the next Quarter Ses s i ons and which further provided, that " the abuset so reported shall .e taken into immediate consideration by the Justices at Sessions; and they are hereby required to adopt the most cffetual measures for inquiring -into and rectifyi. ing such abuses as soon as th e nature o f t h e case shall allow. " Mr. Stapleton, who was a Magistrate and a Gentleman of large fortune, had, in pursuance of this Act, visited the prison, and had reported an impottant abuse which he obterved i he re ported tile abuse to the Sessions, but they provided no satins factory remedy, and he now made this applica,den to the Court, to compel them to perform the duty cast on them by the Legiit. future. The Lon!, Cum*" du BTICE.—How can we inquire into the exercise of a discretion with which Magistrates are invested, and compel them to act in a particular course? Mr. SCARLETT said the subject was of great importance, and deserving the utmost attention of the Court. The Loan CittEr. JUSTICE.—yes . ; but the importance of the subject cannot justify the interference of the Court when they have no power. Can you ahetv us how we have power to direct the hlagistrates in this case ? Mr. Scant EIJ. submitted that the abuse complained of was a plain' violation of the Statute, and yet the Magistrates had refused to affbrd effectual redress. The lOch section of the Act contained a series of regulations, among which were the follow ing :—" Every prisoner maintained at the expence of any coun ty or place shall be allowed a su ffi c i ent quantity of plein and wholesome food, to be regulated by the Justices in SessionS, regard being had (so far as may relate to convicted prisbners) to the nature of the labour required from them 1 and it shall be lawful for such Justices to order, t'or such prisoners of every description as are not able to work, or being able, Cannot pre). Cora employment sufficient to sustain themselves by their in dustry, who cannot be otherwise provided for, such allowante of food as the Justices shall from tune to time think necessary for the support of health." The 37th section of the Act point -1 ed out the ewe in which persons committed for trial may be employed in work and atter reciting that persons in that situa tion were often willing to Work, empowered one or more visiting justices to authorise the empl o y ment o f s u c h p r i soners " w ith their own commit." It wail perfectly clear from these regula tions, that Magistrates hid no power to compel' untried pri. scalers to work in any way, and still leas to place them 'on the tread-mill but Mr. Stapleton last year discovered that-all the prisoners were indiscriminately forced to perform the irksome and humiliating drudgery of that machine. 'He mentioned the Subject several times to the Quarter Session , : ' -but without effect; and at last made hi s report , succ i nct ly stating t h e eiiiiince of this grievous abuse. The 1144;iitratei took the subject into their consideration, and made an order, not coun. termanding the employment of prisoners at the tresulanitl, but directing that those prisoners wh o wou ld n ot wo r k s a t th e tread mill 'should have no provision but bread and water. Stapleton felt that this was a . grievous abuse, ,and therefore he brotight it forward, imputing no dishonourable motive ,to the Magistrates; many of whom w ere his intimate fri e nd s , b u t feeling that they had, greatly mistaken their duty. The 'Jolty CHIEF JUSTICE,—YOR do ,not say that they have prohibited . prisoners Who . have resources to 'avail them.' selves of them ? Mr. SCADLETT replied, certainly not but, they wete botiod to foul for all who were unable to support themselves by dieir •intlustry, " wholesome and sufficient ' food ( - and he contended that bread and water alone were not "..wholesome and suffi. dent" fur the support of nature, even . when given in p ro p e r • quantities. The LORD Custer (IVITICE.•—.TA there any statement in the affidavit, that bread and water are not wholesole and sufficient tot the support of the prisoners ?: Mr. SCARLETT replied, that Mr. Stapleton solemnly deposed to his belief, that, alone, they were very inadequate to the pre servation of health and strength. It was clearly ascertained that the recent mortality in die Penitentiary athfill Rank arose from the want of nourishing provisions. Was it, then, to be suffered that Magistrates, - - having no. power to commit any untried prisoners to hard lab Our, should compel them to the most distressing species of toll, on pain of being deprived yf the means of health Ail subsistence? • They were directed to supply prisoners with food who could not 'earn their eatssub instence and was the tread-mill to be forced on them lets if it .were their own occupation and trade? Suppose a poor man, in nocent altogetherof crime, being quite able to support himself in 1 his own trade if at large deprived of the mein* support by imprisonment, a nd utter ed food only on condition of mounting the treats-mill, would not this be a case of intolerable twill:hip Note many mei were wm i n itt e d to prison fiir amanita and petty offences, or who were entirely innocent, and who might be offer ed this cruel option of the tread-mill or starvation? They might be willing to labbor tlit.ir vocations, or i n any f a i r ocettpa . tion ; andit was the duty of Magistrates before they refused them sufficient nutriment, -to give these th e opportunity often. gaging in such works. Wax nut the order of the Magistrates, then, " as abuse," and would not the Court compel them to apply a remedy ? The hoax: Cutts. JusrscE.—Some one must judge as to the kind of labour in which ,prisonere may be employed, and as to the sort of food WhiCh is aufficient if• they are unable or unwilling to work. Mr. SCARLETT.—yes, MY,LCIrd ; but I contend that mere bre a d er a %Il i a i re indisputab ly inadequate and unwholesome. on nu.r vontica would : the (74) " .t "X they dying thekdiscr' were Merely cur.

Whose bea;th, iti the judgment • of medical men, had been injured by the diet complained of; -as, if the system was really prejudicial, such instances would haye Mr. SCARLETT . admitted there were. none; but the order I might have had the effect of driving all theprisoners to th e treed-mill to obtain atrgtlequaw supply for their wants. Mr. Justice BrsT.--.There are great numbers of the indus trious poor whose fare consists often of bread and water ; and why should prisoners who will not work be better provided for ? &mart 'r said, he hoped the poor of the country were not now in such distress. Mr. Justice I3AYLar.--I believe many of the population of this country would be glad to obtain a safficient quantity of breed ; and we all know that the inhahitants of a northern part of this kingdom,' if they do notlive on bread and water, live on oatmeal and water, which can hardly be more whole. sortie. Mr. SCARLETT hoped that the Court would think the case worthy of deep attention. The prisonds, innocent as they Might be, Inane other protection than that which the Court could afford them, and for that he tru s t e d th e y wou ld n ot ask in vain.' - The Loan CitiEF JtisTrtE asked if Mr. Scarlett could re fer the Court to any act whi c h ma d e i t compulsory on Magia tratel to provide for prisoners who reflised to work? Mr. Justice Btnrr observed,' that the 19th Car. 11., c. 4., recited that poor men perished before trial, and authorized Me gistrates to provide for them means of working. The provi= sions enabling them to supply those with food who could not earn it were of a later period. Mr. At.ExAmiwit (who was with Mr Scarlett) referred the Court to 33 Geo. I 11.. as extending the powers and dnties of Mitgistrates in reference to the support of prisoners. The Loan CHIEF Jtis.ricE observed, that the Court had listened to hear if any act was cited, making it compulSory on Magistrates to find food for those who, being able, refused to work; but, at present, they had h ea rd no ne ; and, in the ab. sence of such provision, they were bound to refuse the rule. They could not say, from any thing before them, that labour at the tread-mill'was not a proper.specles of work, or that bread and water was not sufficient diet for those who refused it. Finding no provision respecting the kind of labour, and seeing, therefirre, that the Magistrates had done nothing contrary to law, they could not interpose and direct them to `pursue a dif, &rent course. They ought to be exceedingly cautious how they Interfered with Magistrates in the exercise of duties peculiarly cast on them, and to reihse their interposition unless they saw them disregarding Some known duty. They must, therefore, refuse the rule, Mi. Justice BAYLEY said, the Court could not grant a roan• dames unless they saw that the party - was bound to perform some particular act whiCh he had 'neglected. In this case they clearly luid . no power to prescribe the sort of food which Magis trates should allow to those who would not work, and who, in strictness, were not entitled to any thing. Mr. Justice flOtitorn having been absent in the early .part of the argument, declined giving any opinion. Mr. Justice Brat said, it was clear that, by the Act, a ills cretion was intrusted to the Magistrates, and where this was the case the Court would never interpose to say how that diecre. tion should be exercised in any particular case. A man who was committed to prison was not to be placed in a better situation than one who was at liberty; he was to he placed in as good a situ ation merely; and as a man at liberty who refused to work would not be sustained in idleness, so a man in prison could ask no more: The 'Magistrates were bound to find the means of work they had found them; and if these 'were rejected, the prisoners had no reason to complain. lie was not prepared to say that bread and water was not sufficient food for men who were too idle to work"( and he was afraid that many men who were at large and willing to labour would be sled to obtain a sufficient quan tity of those provisions. Mr. SCARLETT said he had certainly found no statute cotn pelling Magistrates to provide food for those who refused to work. Mr. Justice BEST.—NOf haie I. When 1 looked, I found none but the 19th of Car. 11., which directs Magistrates to tied work, that they might maintain. themselves. The Coon , accordingly refused the rule. • THE mato' v. wityrcoati. This defendant, it will be recollected, was convicted, at the last Assiees for Shropshire, for improper conduct in his office as a Coroner of that County. Since the conviction the de fendant had inetnorialieed the Quarter Sessions to be permit. ted to resign hittottice of Coroner, and had In fact sent in his resignation. In consideration of his conduct in this particular, Anil as the prosecution hadhad the desired effect In exposing his delinquency, the Magistrate s bail c om e to a re s o lution, desire ing the Clerk of the Peace "to certify their wish that no further punishment than removal front office might be imposed upon him. The defendant now appeared in Court, and these circum stances being represented by Mr. PE ARSON, Counsel for the prOsecution, and Mr. ,lEnvls and Mr. CORSET for the de fence, it was prayed on the part of the former that the defend , . ant Might pow be discharged'on his own recognicanees, to come Up to abide the judgment of the Court when called upon. • The Courr acquiesced in this arrangement; and the de fendant was discharged on the tears proposed. • • • THE KING V. 1110 M -0 DOLBY.

COURT OF. COMMON PLEAS, Nov. 15. SEHOLEY v. tiOOEIIAN. Mr. Serjeant PELL m o v e d t h at t h e ru l e obtained in this cause should be made abaohire. It was an action brought by the plaintiff as the trustee of the wife of the delenelatit, Miele* a deed of separation, for the fulfliment of the agreenieut ei. - tered into between the parties, by which she was to receive 121, a week as alimony. The defendunt, however, refused payment of the stipulated SUM on the ground of ilia wife's adultery. An action was in consequence brought by t h e w if e ' s trustee, anti adultery was the'defence let up at the tried, when the husband obtained a verdict. Mr. Serjeant Vauoteest was now heard at great length against the role. Be contended that, under the particular eie curnstance3 of this eaiie,' where the parties,' were living sepa rate from each other, the evidence .or the one was admit:. table against the other upon the principles of common reason, though he was not prepared with Petty* authorities in support of the fact. The plaintiff could 'only be regarded as the mere medium by which the allowance of the husband was to be conveyed to the wife. There were numerous instances in which contracts for alimony had been declared null and void in consequence of adultery on the part of the wife. The cue of Knight and Fuller was one of them. .1a that case it ay. peered that, though the' wife had been :Wowed, by a special agreement, to Cohabit with her paramour, still the Court held that adultery was a bar to alimonve The principal point in the ease of Knight and Fuller was, as to whether the word " co habit" necessarily implied criminal intercourse. But such profligate agreements had n o reference to the present case ; for it had. never been assumed for a moment that the defendant had connived at his wife's adultery ; nor was it thought neces.. eery to Unlit the allowance to the period during which the wife eontinued chaste. That was implied in the agreement. In the case of l'ittly and Durant, 7th Price, in which a deeti of cove mint had been •drawn between the husband anti wife and a trustee appointed, stipulating that the husb an d should' pay au annuity to the trustee ao long as the wife lived separate ; that covenant was declared null and void, because it had been entered into contrary to the policy of the law. But upon the great nth - , ciples of law there Was no difference between an agreement en , tered into on the day of marriage and the day of separation. There could be no doubt that all agreements of this kind were contrary to the policy of the law. The Lord Chancellor had repeatedly expressed his doubts as to the policy of the law with respect to these agreements, and had decided that pro spective separations were bad. Lord Kenyon's judgment in " Itutter v. Marshall," had been given fully, and stated the inconvenience that must result from initting a wife in the cha neer of a j'enorne role. The Learned Serjeant observed, this he objected in limine to the principle of giving a woman a power which the law did not reco gnise. If she were a ll owe d to bring her action through her trustees, the wife might then sp. pear its a witness against her husband, for this action wa s t h e 111 r. Justice PASS X.—Brother Vaughan, I think you are as suming too much in saying that this is the action Of the wilt. Mr. Serjeant VAUGHAN submitted that the agreement merely called on the defendant to pay the allowance, and the trustee would prevent him being asked for more; but it was not to the sum,_ but to the principle that h e objeeted. Mr. Justice PARK said, that in the ease of Evans and Frock, It had been decided that the declaration of' a wife made before her separation, might be received in evidence atter she had se parated from her husband. Mr. Serjeant VAUVIEaIi observed that he should not have called the Wife to give evidence under such' circumstancee. Mr. Justice Pax x—There must be a new trial in this mtge. Lord Chief Justice Ateens said there was no doubt'as tq the principle upon which the husband and wife were precluded from giving etidenee for or against e ac h ot h er . The principle hum always hold good in ordinary eases, and the only doubt on his mind could be, in cases where opposite interests arose by the parties being separated from each other. He agreed with his Learned Broiler that there must be a new trial in the present etuse. Mr. Justice BURROIIOII delivered his opinion on the merits of the question. Mr. Serjeant VAUGHAN asked whether the defendant would be allowed to plead his wifes admission of adultery. Mr. Justice ?MIX said, certainly not. Mr. Sergeant PELL cited the case of Nurse and Craig, in the New Reports, as perfectly analogous' to the present one and adverted to.a case which Was tried before Lord Alvanley, to show that though the parties were divorced at the time, still neither the - husband nor wife could beititnitted as evidence against each other during the precedency of any put of the proceedings.—Role i'or a new trial made absolute: CAPTAIN PARRY AND MISS BROWN g.
