;SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. the inevitable destruction to which they are hastening. Conservatism, or rather Toryism, let us call it by its true name, was never placed in greater jeopardy than by bringing these questions; " The Use of the Lords?" and " Who are the People?" in juxta position. The design may be to divert the, popular mind from the close and necessary investigation of the utility of a second Chamber of Legislation—but it must doubtless fail of its object, as the evils result ing from hereditary legislation have excited a resolve in the country too deep and determined to be effaced or estrayed by such flimsy artifice and chicanery. The question—" Who are the People ?"—need be met by one only reply—the millions—who are resolved on the reclamation of their rights—and the prostration of the ruthless oligarchs who have so long trampled on their liberties. Rights are not now to be meted by the standard of property. Men will not now receive as a boon that freedom which is their birthright, nor stoop to acknowledge as superiors those whom nature has placed on an equality with themselves. " Who are the Lords ?" This is indeed a question which involves difficulty in its solution. • It is not, however, our intention to trace them to the barbarous credulity and ignorance in which they originated : it is sufficient for - the living generation to know that their factious supremacy is doomed to speedy demolition. Some insensate Tories affect regret that the " sport, which they anticipated in seeing the combined body of Whigs and Radicals rush against the impregnable walls of the House of Lords, and fall shattered to atoms beneath its bulwarks," has been spoiled by the moderation of Mi nisters. If, however, this regret be sincere, its cause will be speedily removed by the simultaneous effort of all genuine Reformers to correct the abuses or annihi late the existence of hereditary legislation. And, for the comfort of the' Tories, be it known that the event will be rather accelerated than retarded by any change of administration. As in other cases, the delay will serve only to increase the measure of popular Reform. Hereditary . legislation—the fertile source of all na tional ill—is based only on absurdity and imposture. 'With a liberal Ministry, however, an extensive reform of the House of Lords might allay public excitement ; but, should the Tories again attempt to resume the helm of the State, the annihilation of a second cham ber will be the inevitable consequence. With regard to the questions—" Who are the people ?" and "Who are the Lords ?"—the course of events vv - ill, ere long, furnish a'. indisputable solution.—MorrtingAdvertiser. In our paper a few days since, we gave a- copious extract from a Scotch paper, on the subject of the late Appeal Court at Inverness for the six northern counties. It seems that the " working" of the Reform Act was a little awkward, in consequence of no provision being made for the event of six Judges sitting to determine appeals, and the pos sibility of their being equally divided in opinion. The Scotch amended Act provides for the event of four Appeal Judges being so situated, and declares that the Sheriff, against whose judgment the appeal may have been brought, shall have no voice in case of such equality. But for six Sheriffs so situated, which /would only happen in this dis trict, it was not thought expedient to apply a remedy. Accordingly, in deciding some cases of appeals against the decisions of Mr. Sheriff' Jar dine, in the Registration Court for Ross-shire, he six Sheriffs being equally divided in opinion (and Mr. Jardine himself not declining to be reckoned), the ap peals were dismissed, because no judgment in such circumstances could be given. Now, in this county, where the two great interests are so nearly equipoised, the loss of several votes to the Conservative candidate by such means looks more than accidental. We re gret that Messrs. Gladstone, of Liverpool, have for the present been deprived of the franchise for one of their Scotch estates (in Ross-shire) by the extraor dinary result in the Appeal Court to which we have alluded. But, notwithstanding, we rejoice to hear that the state of matters in this county now leaves no room for doubts as to the triumph of the Conservative cause at the next election.—Morning Post. What is to be the result of the hostilities now waged, with all the energies of the State, and all the bitter ness of personal rancour, against the Press, and against liberal sentiments under every form in France, it is perhaps not very difficult to - foresee. The Assize Court of the Seine has been wholly occupied during the last week in prosecutions instituted by the Procu- , Teur General against public journals. The Charivar i Us been raised from obscurity into notice by a so 3eran accusation that it had attempted to bring the Xing's Government into hatred and contempt. Let us look at the facts of this case. A few narratives are collected together of scenes which occurred in Paris during the contest for liberty in July, 1830, during the merciless massacre of the people in the Rue Trans nonain at a subsequent period, and of some of the in.: cidents which took place during the insurrection at Lyons. It was not even insinuated on the part of the Crown that so much as one of these statements was false. They were founded upon irrefragable authority ; they were cited from the pages of the Ministerial jour nals; they already compose a portion of the history of the country. Unless the evidence of the living gene rations of France is to be obliterated from her annals .-- 7 unless her history is to be henceforth a compilation of panegyrics drawn from the fertile inventions of a Guizot or a Thiers—we know not what crime could have been charged against the editor and printer of the Charivari. In fact, their sedition was alleged to consist not of the matter, but of the ink in which it was printed I The printer chose to clothe the journal for that day in the livery of the House of Orleans—he printed his pages in red ink, and in the colour of his letters, not in their substance, was found the grave intention of bringing the King's Government into hatred and contempt. In black ink it would have been history—in rouge it becomes treason. We are not acquainted with any law in France which prohi bits the use of red ink to a public journalist. It is one of the three colours borne on the national ensign. It was a favourite colour with all the early typographers, who were in the habit of interspersing their pages with rubrics. But according to the decision just recorded in the Assize Court of Paris, the use of red ink is henceforth to be deemed sedition. The new laws of the Press allow a journalist to animadvert upon the . conduct of the Ministers. The person of the King is inviolable, and justly is it ordained that he should not be exposed to the censure of public writers. Never theless, if the Minister be utjustly accused, he has his remedy, can prove the falsehood of the charge, and sub ject his adversary to fine and imprisonment. But here, ;hough the facts were undeniable, the party is found efui.'tY, by reason of the colour of his ink ! There is no exa mple of such Ministerial folly, of so violent a determination to tyrannise . over the Press, and of using any pretext, however petty, however dis graceful, for the accomplishment of its purpose, to be discovered in any other country. What a noble occupation, to open a crusade against ru brics. Rut this is not all. M. Gregoire, the printer of the Charivari, was acquitted because he proved that he was not at the office on the day of publication, and knew nothing of its arrangement for that clay. rut M. Simon, the editor, was found guilty, altlniugh on the same day, and for some time before and after it, he was actually a prisoner at Pelagic, a prisoner an secret, : rigorously excluded from commun i cation with anybody, a nd denied even the use of pen, paper, and ink of any co:enr. We admit that in England, absence from the office, or ignorance before hand of the con tents of a newspaper publishing libellous matter, is no excuse before the law. But in the case of the Cha rivari, that excuse was accepted on the part of Gre goire who was at liberty, and who ought to have known the arrangements of the paper ; while Simon, who could not by possibility have had any share in the business, was found guilty, and condemned by the . Court to two months' imprisonment, as well as to a fine of 2001., the maximum which could have been inflicted. We look upon the whole of this proceeding with unmitigated disgust ; and we must add, that the only persons connected with it - really guilty of bring ing the King's Government into hatred and contempt are the Ministers who directed such a pitiful prosecu tion. Another specimen of the sort of construction zrhlch the Ministers have directed to be affixed to the new laws—laws, they said, that left the Ministers open to every species of animadversion by their political op. ponents—was exhibited in the prosecution of the Bon Sens and Quotidienzze. These two journals translated from a London paper some remarks upon those laws, not distinguishable from the attacks of the British Press in general. We all, Whig, Tory, Radical, condemned the restraints imposed on the French Press without a dissenting voice—some with great energy, others in a tone of moderation, which was, perhaps, not less dis agreeable to the delicate nerves of the Doctrinaires. But those Gentlemen, not able to attack our Press here, or to bring it into unison with their views by intimidation or corruption, chose to try an experiment with it in 'France, by seeing how far they could prevent English sentiments from being translated into French. The Editor of the Bon Sens considerably modified the ori ginal, by leaving out several strong phrases ; but this act of prudence upon his part was deemed by the re presentative of the Crown as an augmentation of his guilt ; it showed, said the Advocate-General, " that he wrote with reflection !" Both the parties accused were acquitted, and thus the assault upon the British Press has failed ; but the fact that it was made, and made, too, in violation of all the fine promises which were given at the time, that the Doctrinaires were ut terly fearless of discussion, amply confirms all that we have said froth time to time of the impossibility of re conciling the continuance of a Doctrinaire Ministry in France with anything like a Liberal Constitution. Either must perish in the contest, and we venture to predict that it will not be the Constitution.—Morning Chronicle. In Blackwood's Magazine for November, there is an article on the state of Naples under the Bourbons and Bonaparte, characterized by more candour than v e should have expected in anything appearing in such a publication. On the authority of the History of Pietro Colletta, the,dangers of secret societies are shown in the case of the Carbonari. " The profounder politicians employed by Napoleon in his kingdom of Italy, warned King Joachim that all secret societies were inimical to established Governments." The Car bonari, like the Orangemen, seem to have thought it depended on them who should be King of Naples. They were at one time for King Ferdinand, at another for Murat. If the records of the Carbonari could be produced, we have no doubt there would be found many such indications of contemplated rebellion as that given by Colonel Fairman, in his letter to the Mar quis of Londonderry of the 30th July, 1832 :—" In my letter of Saturday I omitted to mention that we have the military with us, as far as they are at liberty to avow their principles and sentiments ;" and in his letter to the Duke of Gordon of the 11th of August, 1832, " if we are to be arrayed in hostility to a Re publican Ministry, we ought to be in a condition to check their subversive courses ;" and "we inculcate the doctrine of passive obedience and resistance too religiously by far." It is, by the bye, stated by Mr. • F. Fox Cooper, that there are 50,000 Orangemen in London alone. When we reflect on the anxiety to obtain the control of the policejorce, and on the lan gugge held by the bosom friends of the chiefs, to say nothing of the attempts n i iade on the servants of an illustrious personage, we can hardly be surprised that strange things pass in men's minds both at home and abroad. The following extract from a .letter dated Bilboa, 13th October, may serve as a sample :—" I can assure our dear friends, the Tories, that at the end of our two years' service in Spain, we shall be a fine body of troops to throw into the scale ip favor of the Ettle Princess Victoria, if ever our Don Carlos is mad enough to play the part of his worthy brother at Du rango. '—Morning Chronicle. The question—" The Use of the Lords?" is now attempted to be met by the defeated, shattered, yet insolent Tory faction, by the stupid and monstrous interrogatory, " Who are the People ?" It would be difficult to conceive a greater stretch of temerity and absurdity than is involved in this inquiry. In fact, we would scorn to reply to it, were it not that a desire of protecting an infatuated fraction of the community from the fate which their idiocy provokes, induces us . So tear aside the veil which conceals from their eyes THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 3, ISS3Q CORONERS' INQUESTS. Yesterday afternoon an inquest was held in the receiv ing-room of Whitecross-street 'Prison, before Mr. Payne and a respectable Jury; on view of the body of Henry Charles Granger, Esq., aged 72, formerly a partner in the banking establishment of Messrs. Birch, Chambers, and Co., of New Bond-street. It appeared from the evidence of the Governor and Surgeon of the prison that deceased was brought to the prison in the month of January, 1834, having been arrested on account of MIME bill transactions ; that he never enjoyed good health ; and that, notwithstand ing every attention had been paid to him, he died on Friday evening, his constitution being completely worn out. The Jury expressed themselves satisfied, and returned a verdict of " Died by the visitation of God." An inquest was held at the Black Horse, Deptford, on Friday night, on the body of Miss Mary Ann Crosbie Adams, a young lady, eighteen years of age, the daughter of a respectable schoolmaster at Deptford. The body was found in the Surrey Canal, and in consequence of screams having been heard, and some jewellery which the young lady wore being missing, it was suspected that she had been thrown into the canal, after being robbed. The father of the deceased deposed that his daughter left home about three o'clock, stating that she was going out to tea. She wore her necklace and ear-rings, and ap peared in her usual cheerful state. Miss Mass, an acquaintance of the deceased, deposed that, cm Wednesday afternoon last, she saw the deceased, and that about five o'clock they went together to have their fortunes told, by a fortune-teller at Greenwich ; but that, in consequence of a large company waiting there for. a si milar purpose, they left the house, and went away toge ther. In the course of the afternoon they met a young man, with whom the deceased entered into conversation, and witness heard them appoint to meet one another again in the evening. Other witnesses were examined, with a view to ascertain where the deceased had been from the time she parted with the last witness, until screams were heard in the direction of the canal, but not one could throw any light on the sub ject, and the inquest was adjourned until Saturday even ing. In the mean time Inspector Thomas searched the fortune-teller's house, but neither of the missing articles could be found. The fortune-teller herself was examined before the Jury, but there was nothing to implicate her in the transaction. It appeared, however, that she obtained a livelihood by fortune-telling, and she admitted that crowds of the female sex constantly employed her to tell their for tunes, and amongst them several belonging to families of the first respectability about the neighbourhood. " Indeed," said she, " they come far and near to see me." The young man who was in company with the deceased on Wednesday was examined, and his statement perfectly satisfied the Jury that he had no knowledge how the de ceased got into the water. There being no further evidence, the CORONER observed that there certainly were circumstances of.suspicion, but as they had been unsuccessful in ascertaining how the de ceased got into the canal, he would advise the Jury to re turn a verdict of Found Drowned, which would leave the case open for further inquiry. The Jury then returned that verdict. Saturday an inquest was held at the Old Ben Jonson, Great Wild -street, Lincoln's Inn-fields, on Richard Bloxam, brush manufacturer, of No. 32, of the above street. The deceased and his wife retired to rest on Wednesday evening about ten o'clock, he being at that time quite well. On the following morning Mrs. Bloxam was awakened.by an unusual noise, which she discovered proceeded from her husband's throat. She instantly got up and sent for a sur geon ; but the deceased had breathed his last before his arrival. The surgeon attributed his death to apoplexy. Verdict—" Died by the visitation of God." On Saturday an inquest was held at the Elephant and Castle, St. Pancras, on the body of a female infant. The child was found wrapped in a newspaper, in Lord Mans field's Park, and was in a very decomposed state. The Jury, after some conversation upon the distressing effects of the bastardy clause in the New Poor Law Bill, returned a verdict " That the body of the infant was found indecently exposed, but whether born alive and destroyed, or was still born, there was no evidence to the Jnry." On Saturday an inquest was held at the Princess Royal, Tabernacle-square, City-road, on the body of Edward Skegg, aged fifty. The deceased was found dead in bed, and one of his children, aged six years, lying by his side, with her arms clasped round her parent's neck. The de ceased died suddenly, from an effusion of water on the chest. Verdict—" Natural Death.". On Friday -last. as Mr. Richardson was attempting to mount the Stockton and Middlesborough Railway coach, which was just moving off, his foot slipped from the step, and he fell with his leg upon the rail. One of the wheels of the coach passed over the limb, and severely injured the calf and ankle. Mr. R. is rapidly recovering from the ef fects of the accident, —Durham Chronicle. ROLLS COURT-MONDAY. OLDFIELD V. COBEETT. This was a motion on the part of the plaintiff, Mr. Jesse Oldfield, to commit the defendant, Mr. William Cobbett, to the Fleet, under the following circumstances : A bill having i tieen filed by the late Mr. Cobbett's cre ditors, a receiver was appointed over his estate, and an in junction was granted restraining the defendant from re moving any portion of the stock from the farm at Farnham. In support of the present motion it was alleged that the defendant had lately removed the stock ; but that fact not being supported by an affiddvit, the motion was ordered to stand over to the next motion day. VICE-CHANCERY.-MONDAY. VINCENT V. BRIZAC. This was a motion to dissolve an injunction granted in March last, restraining Mrs. Brizac from transferring into her own name certain sums of stock, the property of an in testate named Largent. It appeared the intestate died so long ago as 1804, leaving two sums of stock. His widow, Mrs. Largent, administered, and his sister, Mrs. Vincent, in 1807, claimed a share of the stock as next of kin. In consequence, however, of some expected demand by the Government against the estate of the intestate, the matter lay dormant till March last. Mrs. Largent died in 1827, and the defendant was her administratrix. Mrs. Vincent having every confidence in Mrs. Largent, the money had been all the while suffered to remain in the name of the latter ; but last March the defendant was about to transfer the whole fund into her own name, when the injunction was obtained. It was now ob jected that the attention of the Court bad not been properly directed to the dates of the transaction, or the injunction would not have been granted. His Honour was of opi nion that the circumstance of the dates was in this case unimportant, as a claim had been made, and had not been prosecuted wholly on the ground of the confidence the parties reposed in each other. But as the plaintiff had now waived one part of the claim, and bad not established to his Honour's satisfaction the rest of the claim, the in junction was dissolved with costs. Mr. KNIGHT, with Mr. ELLISON, for the defendants. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL and Mr. KENYON PARKER in support of the injunction. GREENLAW V. COX. Mr. KINDERSLET moved that the defendants Green wood and Cox, the army agents, should pay a sum of money into Court, the proceeds of the sale of an officer's commission. The name of the officer was not mentioned ; but it appeared that he placed his children with a family of the name of Greenlaw for their education, and on this account he contracted to them a debt of 2,4001., which he secured by bills on his pay, and by a covenant affect ing the proceeds of his commission, if he should sell it. It was a little time ago discovered that the officer, who had been in foreign service, had just sold his commis sion, and that the money was in the hands of the de fendants, his agents. They were immediately restrained from paying it over to him, and the object now was to have the fund brought into Court.—The motion was granted. KING'S BENCH.-MONDAY. CP.IMINAL INFORMATION-REX V. ROTCII, ESQ. The RECORDER said he was instructed to apply to their Lordships for a rule Nisi for a criminal information on be half of the Lord Mayor of London, against Mr. Benjamin Rotch, the Chairman of the Middlesex Sessions. The circumstances were shortly these : In a Report of a Committee of the House of Lords, on the state of the gaols of England and Wales, there was a document published purporting to be a return, by Mr. Rotch, as Chairman of the Sessions, of the state of the se veral prisons in the county of Middlesex, and in that return there were strictures on the conduct of the Magistrates of the city of London, in reference to the gaol of Newgate. These strictures of Mr. Rotch upon the Magistrates of London were brought under the notice of the Court of Al dermen on the 27th of October, and in the course of the discussion which ensued the Lord Mayor made some ob servations, thanking the Alderman who bad brought them at ter under the notice of the Court. OA the following day there appeared in the Morning Herald a report of what bad taken place at the Court of Aldermen. In conse quence of the observations of the Lord Mayor being re ported, Mr. Guppy called, on the 29th of October, at 11 o'clock, upon the Lord Mayor, at the Mansion-house, and _ delivered the following letter : " 1, Furnival's Inn, Oct. 29, Thursday morning. " My Lord,— I copy the following paragraph from the Morning Herald of yesterday :---• The Lord Mayor said that the Court was much indebted to Mr. Alderman Thomas Wood for bringing forward this scandalous matter.' I need not al lude to the occasion on which the above is stated to have been uttered, as it must be fresh in your recollection. You will oblige me by informing me with the least possible delay whe ther it be a correct report of what you then said.--I have the honour to be, my Lord, your obedient servant, BENJAMIN ROTCH. "To the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor. _ _ _ Mr. Guppy requested the Lord Mayor would give him an immediate answer, but his Lordship declined doing so. On the same evening a gentleman named Carvick called at the Mansion-house. The Lord Mayor happened not to be there, and he followed him to the King's. Head, in the Poultry, where he was dining—(A laugh)—and insisted upon an answer to the note which had been delivered by Mr. Guppy in the morning. The Lord Mayor, however, still refused to give an answer. At eleven o'clock the same night the Lord Mayor received at the Mansion-house a note from Mr. Carvick, enclosing one from Mr. Rotch. He (the Recorder) would read them to the Court. " Union Club House, Trafalgar-square. "My Lord,—l beg to enclose a letter from Mr. Rotch to your Lordship. I shall wait until eleven o'clock to-morrow morning to receive any communication from your Lordship. I have the honour to be, my Lord, your Lordship's most obedient servant, " THOS. CARVICK. " Right Hon. the Lord Mayor." The letter from Mr. Rotch was to this effect : " 1, Fdrnival's Inn, Oct. 29, 1835, 10 o'clock, p. m. "My Lord,—l had the honour to address a letter to your Lordship this morning, a copy of which I enclose. Not hav ing at eight o'clock this evening received any reply, I request ed my friend, Mr. Carvick, to wait upon your Lordship. He informs me that your Lordship still refuses `replying to my note. Under these circumstances I have no alternative but to fix upon your Lordship the words imputed to you by the Morning Herald of yesterday, and to demand that satisfuction which your conduct (alike unbecoming a gentleman and a man of honour) entitles me to. "BENJAMIN ROTC H." On the evening of Friday the Lord Mayor received another letter from Mr. Rotch, the meaning of which was very apparent. It was in these words : " 1, Furnival's Inn, Oct. 30, 1835, five o'clock. " My Lord,—You have publicly insulted me in your capa city of Chief Magistrate of the City of London while presiding in the Court of Aldermen. I atla fully aware of the protection which that situation throws around you, but you have, by de clining to reply to my letters, refused that which one gentleman ought not to refuse to another. Under these circumstances it only remains for me to abide the decision of men of honourable feeling on my conduct, and to consign yours to the contempt it deserves. " BENJAMIN ROTCH. " To the Lord Mayor." The Lord Mayor, in his affidavit, stated that in making the observations which appeared to have given offence whilst presiding over the Court of Aldermen, he was wholly uninfluenced by personal or vindictive feelings against Mr. Rotch, of whom he knew nothing save in his public capa city. He also stated that he believed Mr. Rotch intended to provoke him to commit a breach of the peace by fighting a duel. Lord DENMAN—Are those all the facts ? The RECORDER—Those are all the facts, my Lord. Lord DENMAN—We think you are entitled to your rule. —Rule granted. THE KING V. COPE. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL moved for a rule that the verdict of Guilty, entered in this case at the trial before Lord Denman, at the last sittings in London, should be set aside, and that a verdict of 'not Guilty should be entered. This was a proceeding against the defendant, the keeper of Newgate, for refusing to receive certain prisoners commit ted on charges of misdemeanour by the Magistrates of Mid dlesex. One count in the indictment also charged the de fendant with refusing to receive a prisoner committed by the Middlesex Magistrates on a charge of felony. On this count no point would at present arise, as the Jury, as well as the Learned Judge, at the trial, thought that with re spect to it there was no proof of an absolute refusal. The question intended to be raised on the other counts of the indictment was, whether, since the 4th of George IV., c. 64, the Magistrates of Middlesex had ,any power to commit to Newgate persons charged with misdemeanours. The object of that Act was to effect a proper classification of 'the prisoners, and that object had been carried into effect by a special order made by the Court of Aldermen, under the authority, as the defendant contended, of the Act it self, and in consequence of that order the prisoners com mitted for misdemeanours only had been refused to be received at Newgate. By the 4th section of the Act in question it was provided that " it shall be lawful for the -Mayor and Aldermen of the City of London to make such further rules for the government of the gaol as to them .may seem meet." On the 6th of July, 1826, they did make an order, reciting the Act and the power it gave them, and then directing that by virtue of that power, and to further the object of the Act, that the cells of such pri son should in future be only applied to the detention of prisonets charged with felonies. The question intended to be raised by the rule was, whether the Mayor and Aldermen had or had not by this order duly exercised their autho rity.—The Court granted the rule, BAIL COURT.-(MONDAY) IN EE MOItLEY. Mr. PLATT showed cause against a rule of Mr. Thesi ger's, obtained last Term, calling on Messrs. W. and Jas. Morley, of Gutter-lane, to show cause why an attachment should not issue against them for contempt in not obeying subpcenas of this Court requiring their attendance as wit nesses, in a certain cause, to produce a deed, the promoter of the rule being the defendant in that cause, who alleged that the verdict went against him in consequence of the non-attendance of the witnesses in question. The Learned Counsel contended that there was no ground for the rule. The witnesses had been subpcened in January, and on the 13th of May, the day before the trial, the defendant's at torney called on Mr. W. Morley, requiring his attendance in Court the next morning at ten o'clock, when it was ul timately arranged that Mr. Morley's clerk should attend at that hour, to ascertain when the witnesses would be wanted. Mr. James Morley was at this time out of town, and was no party to the arrangement, and on the next morning the clerk, on attending at Westminster, found that the cause was over. Under these circumstances, it was maintained that the Messrs. Morley could not be held as bound by the subpcenas, after having complied with the agreement with the defendant's attorney. Mr. THESIGER, in support of the rule, denied that the clerk had attended at ten o'clock, and maintained that the rule ought to be made absolute, as the defendant had lost the trial by the absence of the witnesses. Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE said that the rule must be dis charged as regarded Mr. J. Morley, and that the case should go to the Master on the point of fact as to the at tendance of the clerk. COMMON PLEAS.-MONDAY. SHACICELL V. ROSIER. This action was tried the London Sittings after last Term. It was brought by plaintiff, as the proprietor of the John Bull newspaper, against the defendant, on an in demnity for the publication of a libel which was published in that paper. It appeared at the trial, from the evidence of Mr. Weaver, the sub-editor, that the defendant called at the John Bull office, and tendered him the article in question for publication, at the same time handing him his card, as a voucher for the correctness of his communication. The article in question, through the channel of a violent attack on the Whig Ministry, contained a libellous charge upon a Mr. Chalmers, who shortly after its appearance, gave notice of action for libel against the plaintiff, as proprietor of the paper. Plaintiff upon this instructed his solicitor to apply to defendant on the subject, who, after a few inter views, gave a written indemnity against the consequences. The action proceeded to trial, and Mr. Chalmers reco vered damages to a large amount against the John Bull. Plaintiff then addressed the present defendant to bear him harmless, according to the terms of his indemnity, which de fendant declined doing, and the present action was accor dingly brought, in which plaintiff recovered damages to the amount of 326/. Ss. 10d. Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD this day moved for a rule to show why judgment should be arrested, on the ground that the indemnity was nugatory, the paper on which it was was written having been with out a stamp. He contended, therefore, that being with out a stamp, this was not a contract the law could enforce. 'The CHIEF JUSTICE considered the Learned Counsel had raised a sufficient point to grant his motion. The rule was granted accordingly. SIIARPE V. JOHNSON. The Learned Counsel for the defendant moved for a rule to show cause why the defendant should not be discharged out of the custody of the warden of the Fleet. He grounded his motion first on an affidavit, which stated that the Commissioner before whom the affidavit of debt bad been sworn in Ireland was not a Commissioner of this Court ; and, secondly, on the fact that proceedings had been alrezdy taken, and judgment obtained from the Court of Session in Scotland for the same cause of action. The CHIEF JUSTICE considered that enough bad been shown on the first. ground to grant leave to show cause. — Rule granted. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. DOE, ON THE DEMISE OF ORMSBY GORE, V. MORRIS AND OTHERS. Mr. Joux JERVIS moved for a rule to show cause why the verdict in this case should not be set aside, and a new trial had. It was an action of ejectment, to recover posses sion of several cottages in the county of Carnarvon. It was tried before Mr, Sergeant Taddy at the last Assizes, when a verdict was found for the defendants. The grounds on which he made the motion were, that the verdict was against the evidence. It appeared that the defendants had been ejected by a legal process from the said premises in 1830, but Mr. Gore, not wishing to turn them out, per mitted them to continue on the premises on paying him one penny by way of rent, and signing an attachment ; but not withstanding this evidence the Jury found a verdict for the defendants.—Rule granted. EX PARTE CARMICHAEL SMYTH. Mr. CARMICHAEL SMITH moved for a rule to show cause why a writ of prohibition should not be directed to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council, interdict ing them from proceeding further in a suit originally in stituted against himself in 1831 by his wife, in the Con sistory Court. The grounds upon which he made this motion were, that the Privy Council had transgressed the bounds prescribed to them by the Act of Parliament, in ordering him to appear absolutely in a suit in respect of which they had no jurisdiction. It appeared that Mr. Smyth had appealed against a decision of the Arches Court relative to this suit, and that the Judicial Committee had `decided in his favour ; after which, and before they re mitted the case back to the Court of Arches, the Privy Council ordered him to appear absolutely, in an appeal which his wife had made from the decision of the Con sistory Court, though that appeal was not before them. Mr. Smyth endeavoured to show that the Judicial Com mittee could not take cognizance of that appeal, as it was not before them. He cited numerous authorities to show that it was competent for any of the Courts in Westminster Hall to direct a writ of prohibition to any other Court, when they proceeded to adjudicate in matters over which they had no jurisdiction. He contended that the pro ceedings in the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council were corain non judice de facto, and corani non judice de jure. Lord ABINGER observed, that though he was a member of the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council, he had never attended it, nor was it likely that he would be sum moned to attend in respect of this cause ; therefore he felt no scruple in giving his opinion on this question. Now, assuming that this Court had the power to direct a prohi bition to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council, in his opinion there was not a case in which they could exer cise such power. The grievance was, that even if the Court of the Judicial Committee were wrong, it was in a Court over which they had no jurisdiction ; for though they had decided in his favour on the appeal, they had power to re view the cause ; and if they were mistaken in their judg ' ment, this Court could not sit in an appeal from it ; true, it was a grievance, that if the Judicial Committee pro nounced an erroneous judgment, there was no appeal from it. But on the short ground, that if that Court chooses to retain a cause, on any ground that they may think fit, they may make any decree respecting it which they may think fit ; a prohibition is not the remedy. Mr. Justice PARKE said, that whether the Judicial Com mittee of the Privy Council were right or wrong in ordering Mr. Smyth to appear absolutely, it was a step in a cause in which they had no jurisdiction ; and as the law prescribed no superior Court, if they were wrong, it was a wrong with out a remedy. A Court of final appeal may err, and there is no remedy.—Rule refused. ARCHES' COURT-MONDAY. This being the first day of Term, the Dean of the Arches and the Civilians and Proctors of the Court heard prayers in the Court room. _ Herbert Jenner, Esq., was admitted in the usual forms, as one of the Civilians of the Court. WYNN V. DAVIS AND WEAVER.--JUDGMENT. This was an appeal promoted by the Reverend Thomas Wynn, from the Consistorial Court of Hereford, against the admission of certain articles exhibited against him by the Churchwardens of St. Nicholas, in the city of Here ford, Mr. T. Davis and Mr. James B. Weaver. The ci tation issued in the Court below called upon the Rev. Mr. Wynn to answer certain charges preferred against him, of having unduly and unlawfully published bans of marriage, and married parties by virtue of such bans, who were not resident in St. Nicholas parish. Another charge was, that the Reverend Gentleman had not disposed of moneys col lected at the offertory after divine service, as directed by the Rubric. On behalf of the Reverend Mr. Wynn, it was contended, that the Court had no jurisdiction—that it was cognizable by the Courts of Common Law, the new Marriage Act having taken away the jurisdiction of the Ecclesiastical Courts in such matters. The Learned Judge took time to consider his judgment as to the admissibility of the articles to proof. Sir H. JENNER gave judgment this day, and after having stated the contents of the articles exhibited against the Rev. Mr. Wynn, quoted the case of Middleton v. Croft, heard before Lord Hardwicke, in which his Lordship stated that the canon law was binding on the laity, and a fortiori on the clergy. Lord Hardwicke, in his judgment in the case cited, expressed his opinion that that jurisdiction was not repealed, but that the statute and canon law existed together in punishing the identical offences alleged. Nei ther in the 2Gth Geo. 111., nor in the 4th of Wm. IV., was this power repealed in express terms, nor were the provisions of the new law repugnant to the old. The whole tenor of the present law continued in full force the power of the Ecclesiastical Courts. In order, however, to con vict the Rev. Gentleman of felony, it must be proved that he knowingly and wilfully, and unduly published the bans and celebrated marriages of parties not residing in his pa rish. The Court was clearly of opinion that its jurisdic tion was maintained under the new marriage law. The Learned Judge cited several cases which bad been decided by Lord Eldon, and for these reasons be (Sir H. Jenner) had come to the conclusion that the jurisdiction of the Ec clesiastical Court was not taken away. He then proceeded at considerable length to describe the contents of the arti cles, which he directed to be admitted to proof, after va rious reformations had been made in them, pronouncing against the appeal from the Court below. INSOLVENT COURT-MONDAY. The Court sat to-day to hear cases for the first time since he autumnal vacation. Ellen Jones, alias Ellen Simpson, a milliner and dress maker, came up for judgment. She was opposed by Mr. WOODROFFE, on the part of Messrs. Morliett, the bankers at Manchester, and supported by Mr. COOKE. The insolvent owed 9041., of which sum she had received no consideration for 8671. She had, she alleged, improvi dently accepted bills of exchange to the amount of 4301., for a man named Lewis, with whom she had lived. The bills were drawn by a Mr. Harvey, and she accepted them at the instance of Lewis, who had left her some time ago. Several of the bills, to the amount of 3771., had passed into the bands of the opposing creditors, who now opposed, on the ground that their debts had been incurred without reasonable or probable means of paying them, and a re mand was prayed, for the protection of trade. Mr. COOKE urged that the insolvent was entitled to the commiseration of the Court. The COURT, on the former occasion, held that the debt with Messrs. Morliett had been contracted on the faith of the bills, and the insolvent must at the time she accepted them have known her inability to pay the amount, or any part. The case stood over from the September sittings for amendments, and to-day Mr. Commissioner HARRIS sen tenced the insolvent to an imprisonment of. six calendar months, at the suit of Messrs. Morliett, for contracting their debt without means of payment. IN THE MATTER OF CHARLES BROWN. The insolvent, an inmate of Nottingham Castle, was ar rested in June last, by a person named George Hallan, for a debt of 25/., went to prison, and in August last was heard on the Circuit at Nottingham, before Mr. Commis sioner BOWEN, when the Learned Commissioner ordered the petition to be dismissed, on the ground that the arrest bad been friendly. The insolvent had remained ever. since in prison at the suit of Hallan, and now positively swore that the arrest was hostile, and that he had no means of procuring his liberty, unless the Court granted him another hearing. Mr. COOKE applied for an order for hearing at the en• suing Circuit. Mr. Commissioner HARRIS was surprised that the in• solvent had not applied in September for the assistance o the Court ; he should only grant a rule nisi. Mr. COOKE said that the man would then lose the next Circuit, which was fixed for the beginning of December. The notes of Mr. CommissionerßOWEN were referred to, and after a discussion the Court granted a rule nisi, re turnable on the Circuit at Nottingham ; and, in the mean time, the petition and schedule to be filed. The COURT disposed of thirteen• cases. On Wednesday another adjournment will take place. GREAT FLOOD AND STORM AT BANFF. On Monday Banff was visited by a storm and a flood in the river, which exceeded in magnitude any thing ever be fore witnessed. The Preventive Service rescued several persons from death. Whilst this was going on, the scene in the town was becoming most interesting ; and danger was apprehended, not from the river, but from the sea. These apprehensions were well founded, for long after the hour of tide the water continued to flow from the sea, over , all the bulwarks into the lower parts of the town. The old market-place was speedily filled, and the houses surrounding it were flooded in their lower apartments ; and by three o'clock P.m. the whole area of the old market-place was covered to the depth of several feet, and the water ex tended up the streets leading front this to a considerable distance. Shortly before four o'clock the pressure of the water was so great as to force down the wall of Lord Fife's garden, and vent being thus given, the water flowed with great rapidity into his Lordship's park. This relieved the town for a short time, but before five o'clock it was ascer tained that the river had overtopped its bulwarks, and that the water would soon rush through the park upon the lower parts of the town. Accordingly, in a very short time the water began again to flow, and very soon reached a height beyond that of 1829. At this time the scene was terrific, and great fears were entertained for the safety of lives and property. Boats were, however, soon procured, and all in jeopardy were soon rescued ; and we have the satisfaction to say no lives were lost. The destruction of property has, however, been immense ; and one poor widow has had her house (her sole property) completely swept away. She suffered to a less extent in 1829, and the damage was then repaired by subscription. We recommend a subscription in this instance, but not to repair the house, as we should think any sum to be raised would be much better applied in purchasing property removed from the risk of similar accidents. The water still is the sole tenant of the greater part of the cellars and low apartments in the lower parts of the town ; and although the pumps have been actively at work, it will be days yet before it be completely ejected. On the whole, this visitation has been greater than that of 1829 ; but, unlike it, it has flowed from the sea instead of the river, and has served to demonstrate that, subject to both, property in the parts of the town liable to be over flowed is not worth, by one-half, what it would be were it situated where the water could not reach it. From the sea, the accounts, in addition to what we have stated, are very afflicting, and still more are expected. Two vessels are on shore at Sandend, between Cullen and Portsoy— the crews of both luckily saved. One is the Francis Wil liam of Cullen, not much damaged, and the other a north country trader, about 90 tons, considerably damaged. Four Davis' Straits men were seen off Whitehills, and had the wind not shifted they must have come on shore. Luckily, however, the wind changed about five o'clock to the north west, when these vessels bore up ; and there can be no doubt that they succeeded in clearing all the headlands on their voyage southwards. From the country, the accounts arc not very bad ; and although the turnpike roads have been damaged in several places, the loss, on the whole, is much less than could have been expected.—Aberdeen Observer. ACTIONS FOR ALLEGED LIBELS. " WOOD" AT THE SUIT OP " DOMBRAIN."—Friday last a writ of summons was served by the clerk of " Robert Farley, of Ashford, Kent, Attorney," on " Elizabeth Wood," of High-street, Canterbury, at the suit of " James Dom brain," "in an action of trespass." It was stated by the person who served the writ, that it was " for a libel ;" and it appears from a statement in a Tory newspaper, that it has reference to " Mr. Dombrain in connection with the case of Captain Hanchett." If this should prove to be so, our readers may rely that we shall be prepared to meet the case upon its merits ; but we must say, that from the ground of the alleged " libel" being first made known to us through a Tory newspaper, it looks more like an act of party vindiaiveness than an anxiety to clear the character of an individual. Besides, why is not Captain Hanchett, the avowed author of all the remarks on Mr. Dombrain, made the object of his attack—Captain Hanchett's state ments being printed and widely circulated long before they were heard of in Canterbury ? We thing it must be agreed that it would have been the more straight-forward and manly course to have met the actual accuser. However, as we are without any precise information, more than we have stated above, we forbear at this stage of the business to comment further on these rather extraordinary pro ceedings. " WOOD" AT THE SUIT OF " CLARKE."—Mr. Samuel Archbutt, of Symond's Inn, has served the publisher of the Kent Herald with a writ of summons to appear at the King's Bench at the suit of one Edward Clarke, who seeks com pensation in damages for the insertion of a paragraph on the Bth of Jaauary last, respecting the dispersion of a gang of (alleged) swindlers, which originally appeared in the Times, and afterwards went the round of many of the lead ing London and Provincial journals, several of which have been served with a similar process, though the chief ag gressor is probably overlooked. A more bare-faced and im pudent attempt to extort money never appeared upon the face of an action ; but we can assure Mr. S. Archbutt, of Symond's Inn, that if his client thinks to frighten us into a compromise, he is much mistaken—not one farthing shall he get from us unless at the hands of a Jury. We have no fear from the decision of twelve honest and intelligent men, who cannot avoid seeing the matter in its true light. —Kent Herald. BARBADOES.—A letter from Barbadoes has ar rived in Dublin, bearing date the 15th ult., from which it would appear that sixty lives were lost among the shipping during the hurricane. A public meeting bad been called for the purpose of considering the best means of affordi ng relief to those who suffered pecuniary damage. The bishop presided. Considerable subscriptions were entered into ; and a balance of 2,0001., which remained in his lordship's hands from the contributions on a former melan choly occasion, were handed over to a committee. The poor people were actively engaged in rebuilding their houses. —Dublin Register. GREENWICH PETTY SESSIONS• Yesterday at the Greenwich Petty Sessions HOY Hastings, Henry Howell, and Robert Graves three la; bourers, employed in Greenwich Hospital, were charge d with stealing a quantity of lead and copper, value 349 '" the property of the Commissioners of Greenwich Hospital, and Thomas Bayley and John Bayley, were charged with feloniously receiving a portion of the same, knowing it to have been stolen. A professional gentleman named Lethbridge, attended oe behalf of the prosecution, and Messrs. Flower and Carttar, defended the prisoners. As nearly the whole of the evidence against the prisoner) has been very recently given it is unnecessary for us to re" peat it at length. At the close of the evidence, the prisoners' solicitor; Pt mitted to the Bench that there was no case whatever ail out against them, the only evidence against them being tbs of an accomplice, totally uncorroborated in all essential Pa r. titulars. The Magistrates after a brief deliberation, stated till they had come to the determination of discharging 1 1 °w et ' upon his own recognizance, and of committing the oth prisoners for trial, but, under the eircurhstances of the c ase ' they would admit them to bail. Bail was immediately put in, and the prisoners were dig' charged. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE. AT ADVICES, ARRIVALS, AND DEPARTURES THE SCOTCH WHARFS, NOVEMBER 2.
