Mr. Justice PARK overruled the objection, and the exami nation of the witness wait continued. Witness had frequently seen the horse behave In a restive manner. Cross,examined by Mr. Serjeant Vattottax.---NVitness knew nothing whatever of the manner in which the defendant desired the horse to be driven. Parrell, an attorney, residing in New - North-street,.Red Lion-square, corroborated the evidence of the, but witness, as to the restiveness of the horse, and also stated that he had seen • the money paid for it. The horse was returned at the end of one week. The defendant keeps the Talbot yard, in Gray's- Inn-lane. Witness went with the plaintiff to return tholserse. On that' ccasion the plaintiff said that he returned hitnheeanse he was neither sound nor quiet. Defendant then said, that he was sound and quiet when he sold him to the plaintiff; and he'd be d—d if he should be left in the yard; and called for his whip to flog the horse out. Witness remonstrated with defendant on his conduct, and the plaintiff went away. Witness went 'vain to Street's on the Monday or Tuesday following. flu ac companied the plaintiff; and they said they had come to ar range matters re4pectlng The horse. After a gretit deal of versatton between the parties, witness asked defendant what he would take to cancel the contract respecting the first horse, and give the plaintiff another, which he valued at 561. or 60/. De fendant said he would take IW. to which the plaintiffafterwards agreed, Witness saw the second horse the next day, and per ceived that he tripped very much. Witness understood that the second horse had also been returned, as not answering the description given of bins. Street since the return of the second horse let him out for hire. In his cross-examination the Witness denied that the second horse had been returned With the understanding that the de fendant was to take back the firsehorse, the not having been paid: , Manufacture of cotton ; the order was fin. fifteen fames, spindles, and other articles. He then proposed to give Witness Ins. per week, on condi t i on t h at he would write the order to his (wit . ness's) name for hint (defendant}} to carry to M anchester. He Asti said that, witness would have constant einploy t' for nearly twelvemonths ; witness wrote 'the tinders he Ins own name, and, delivered thou to, the defendant.- - .Llk. rendant then left London, and was absent aluitit ten days.' On his return, he told witnesses he had ordered the intichioery of different persons for the purpose of dispatch: the goods were .ordered in witness's name, and. were to be addressed to No. Swan-street, Minories. Witness received letters. from • the dill'erent individuals, and handed' diem' to the definidine, ' When the IlladlitjerY Wat 4 reads to be seat front Manchester to London, the defeadanit was to deliver to the witness halves of Bank notes to kttend down in part nevi:lent ; aid Money was so sent ; and the goods came ,to atilt 'and KenwOrtliy`.., Wharf, Paddington ; part were' conveyed, from, the -canal to No. 79, Lower Thanies-street, andthe remainder to • A tkin'e Wharf.

Oardner and his soh had car ried the other goods to liartleris wharf. The vessel waagoing to France. The eases which h a d b een taken to' Hartley , a Wharf, were brought back again to Lower Thames.Ntreet,• and were posed at the Customs again ; but .the marks ' ant numbers were altered. The defendant said he had another order front the sam e persons in France ; some of the g oo d s t h at went to Atkins Wharf were shipped on board th e Aldb orough. 'Wit ness, by "the defendant's direction, went to Calais, and saw the machine landed there from the yeasel. About the !nth April laSt, the defendant said he expected some machines in . Lone don. , In consetetence of some misunderstanding between wit., Hess and the defendant, he made a communication to Breffett. the oflicer, and, in consequen c e, the goods at P a ddi ngton were seized. Witness afterwards saw the defendant ttt the George, in Goodin:lles-yard, anti he ' , Said if he (the Witness) would keep out of the way, he would recover the good* beck again. However, says he, if it comes to the worst, it will only be twelvemonths imprisonment, and a fine of 2(10/., which he would pay. He said he would procure witness a situ a ti on i n Eaton and Co.'s manufactory in France. Mr. William niggles, of Selfbrd,'n ear M anc h ester, stated that he was a machine-maker. About May or June, 1822, two persons came to him to intinire the price of rovin g ma . chinea. Ile had seen one of those ve t om* in Court. They said their establishment was to be opened either in Kent or Surrey. They gave an order for 15 roving machines. Wit ness asked , them where they runic front, but they evaded a re..

IrAII.LER CLIF7') Mr: Serjeant YAM; iIAM now submitted, that the plaintiff had made out no case at all, as there were two contracts be tween the parties, one of which had never been Milled by lite plaintiff: Mr. Justice NUS said there was not a colour for the objec. tion. If such an objiiction were admitted, i t wou ld b e a bl ot on the law•of England.. As the case now stood, it appeared as roguish a- transaction as ever was brought into a Court of Justice. Serj..ant Vatronax then commented in detail on the merits of the case, and contended that no filets were established which could entitle the plaintiffto a verdict. He maintained that the second horse had been returned with the express un derstanding that'the plaintiff had consented to take back the first horse, hating ascertained from Mr. Coleman, the retell nary surgeon, that he was not unsound. The Learned Serjeant was then proceeding to call witnesses to the soundness of the horse, but Mr. Justice PARK said that the question of warranty had nothing to do with the matter. John Jeeks, a person in the employment of th e d e f en d ant , stated the par ticulars with respect to the purchase and return ' of the first horse. Witness showed the plaintiff the second ' horse, which he was desiro us t o get I n exchange, as being the one t hat the defendant himself was accustomed to ride. The plaintiff agreed to give 1111. in consideration of his getting the second horse. The plaintiff desired a receipt to be, sent to his house for the 10/., babe afterwards told the witness that he was not then prepared with money, but would call in a day or .two and pay The plaintiff on returning the second horse, told the , witness to take the first horse to Mr. Coleman, and if he pronounced him sound, he would consider that Mr. Street and alt-parties had acted hononrably. Witness accordingly took the horse to Mr. Coleman, who was not at home at the time but his partner, Mr. Sewell, examined the horse and pro nounced him to be perfectly sound. After this, the witness took back the horse to the plaintiff, with Mr. Sewell's compli ments, stating the fact, that he would not receive him, as h e had not been returned the they previous.

LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF KrNO'S BENCH, Mo. 2. - - The adjourned sittings at Westminster commenced this day before the Loin) CHIEF Jurrlct and common Juries. STOlttlt V. BUCKTOX. This was an action brought by an undertaker, to recover the sum of 251.75., the amount of his bill for the funeral of Mr. Leering, a gentleman who died on the 24th of May, in last year. • The simple question in this case was, whether Mr. Storer gave credit to Mr. Buckton, who was related by marriage to the widow of the deceased, or to the estate. In order to show. that Mr. litickton made himself liable, proof was offered that he had written on his card certain directions, and had subse. quently acted as principal. On the part of the defendant, evi dence was adduced to explain part of the circumstances so re lied on, and to contraven the residue. The Loup ixr .Tustice WI the case to the Jury, on the only question in this awe, and they found a verdict for the plaintiffs, damages 251. 4110 for ,ruch quantifies of NAILEDTRUSS HOOPS. .clout likewise fr n. such quantities of HOGSHEAD, BAR REL, KILDERKIN, FIRKIN, LONG and SHORT PINK, and STOUT lIAZEL WOOD HOOPS. as may he demanded fir the Serviee of the said Stores for the _ - - The 4 .

This was an section by the executrix of the late Mr. Cutting, an attorney, against Mr. Lavor, also an attorney, to recover the = 01 ) 3 41, 4 kboo)6%o4*e for :41i1.,aus44aterseat, given in Stay, 111111, payable l months.-after date,' - lty ~the defendant to the testator. The defendant pleaded litilsney. Mr. au texEr, in stating the case tbr the plaintiff, observed that the defence was peculiarly ungracious. Mr. Lesvor '41713 clerk to the deceased Mr Cutting, and when about to be admit ted au attorney, not havin : ; sufficient money to pay his fees, borrowed 281. of his master, and was admitted in a day or two afterwards. This note WM given for the repayment of .the money an advanced; and Mr. Lavor now thought fit to refuse payment, on the ground that he was not of age when the note was given. It was not very probable that he was a minor when he was admitted an attorney; but, supposing this to be the case, he had made subsequent acknowledgments which would deprive him of the benefit of the defence on which he had'thought fit to rely. To establish this case, the Lorned Counsel called a gentlee- MAN who proved the signature of the note to he in the hand writing of the defendant; hut being asked as to the ac knowledgment opened for th e p l a i nt iff, stated that Mr. Lavor admitted he had given the nine for a valuable consideration ; but added, that be was not liable to pay , it, as Mr. Cutting had agreed to give it up to him instead of raising his salary. Mr. Mann - rave, for the defendant, repelled the dune that the defence was ungenerous. In point of fact, Mr. Cutting bad agreed to give this note up instead of. nominally raising the sa lary of Mr. Levu, who continued to act as his clerk for several years. This was evident, from the circumstance that, though die note became tine in 1817, no demand of payment was ever made till after the death of Mr. Owing, when it was found by his widow, who, as executrix, had the opportunity of suing without liability to costs. As the proof of acknowledgment had entirely failed, he had only to show that the defendant was an infant at the time when the note was given, to entitle himself to a verdict. WOT . Dr. LUSUI OW prayed the Court to admit an affidavit to be read, setting forth that tits intlividnal in piention, in com. plia»ce with the ntimitinT(Which was issued only 10 ilaYs ago), now brought into Court 255 pieces of gold 'coin, and the articiot, part of the property in question. That property, the deponent stated, he was not aware that he had no right to appropriate as be had done, nor that he was nut empowered so to dispose of articles found,fiottoni,partot, and ligan. De had, at the time, endeavoured toy distribute it, according to what he coneriv. ed to be the provisions of the Prize.ACt; the sum total be ing 076 stall gold doubloons, five larger ditto of double value, five old French franc*, eleven E ng li s h sovere i g n s, gold rings, do. The division he had made was, one.twelfth to the chief mate, one eighth to the crew, one-fourth as his own share, one-eighth to the owners, &c. 'Under the tiireoromc stog of this the learned Counsel submitted that, the - Court would; not too tevcrely visit the party for being ignorant ot'a Very . se. vere Act of Parliament, the existence Of which WAS not till very lately known to himself (Dr. lat%hingten) who might, by posnibility, have been expected to be snore knowing on this subject. The affidavit being read, The Gutsy said, that as there 'was now property in the Re. gistry to proceed upon, it w ou ld so procee d on what was befor e . it, at least. Michael Jones, another person in the defendant's employ. mcnt, deposed to the soundness of the horse, and his nut:tit:es having refused to take him back. The Court now consented to have Mr. Sewell examined as to the soundness of the horse, and that gentleman accordingly deposed to the fact. The clerk of Mr. Aldridge proved the sale of the horse; and a person named Hale swore .that the horse still continued sound. Mr. Serjeant PELL was heard in reply, and Said that the defence set up was the.moat preposterous that could possibly be . imagined. The question was not as to the Soundness of either horse; but as to whether Mr. Davies had or had not been grossly imposed upon by the defendant that he had been grossly imposed upon could not be disputed ; and he had no doubt whatever as to the decision Of the Jury. Mr. Justice Palm summed up the evidence, and the Jury returned a verdict for, the plaintiff to the full amount, deduct ing the sum of IGI. paid into. Court. M. WALLER CLIFTON.

This was an action of trover, to recover the value of a mare, alleged to be the property of the plaintiff, and converted by the defendant to his own use. 'The mare in question was claimed by the plaintiff as one which be had lost from Barking on the 13th of March, 1820. To prove that the mare claimed in the possession of the defend ant was the saute which he lost, Mr. Gillman called witnesses, who swore to a mark on her fetlock joint, as caused by an acci dent at Finchley, and to a mark on one of her eyes, by which they recognized the mare.

On the part of the defebdank witnesses were called to prove that the mare claimed was bought by the defendant at Tatter- Mill's on the 24th of April, 1820; and that she was sent there for sale by Messrs Mascow and Baker, and that they bought her of a person who had for some time possessed her.

The Learn ed Serjeant observed, that though his client was very skilful in setting the broken legs of others, still he had no wish what. ever to break his own, and therefore retusned the horse. It was, however, agreed between the parties that the plaintif shouhl receive another horse, on paying VV. in exchange. The second horse was still worse than the first, and was also returned after a short time ; but the IV. bad not been paid.
