To the credit of th is neigh. bourhood, there was not one person from it a fit 'subject for an loam rection case. The two Fitz. geralds, whose trials were respited from Cashel for having concealed arms, appeared to have bean the Intended victims of a malicious informer; and, after a very full investigation, were not only ac quitted, but permitter to have arms in future for their protection. They have been for some time, employed as keepers on property of their neigh bours to a large, amount (a character of which the unpopularity speaks for itself), distrained for rent by Captain Robert's agent ; and have suf fered vayiou, injuries in their property, by house ning, poisoning their cattle, &c. &c. from the in.ureents. Corot, Nov. 2.—Two persans'of the name of Phillips, who have been in this city for some' days baek, selling pottery, and who autwer the descrip tion of persons advertised in the public Hue-and- Cry, as having been concerned in a Most atrocious and horrible murder, perpetrated in the County of 1Va1 . ,:0, were, we puderstand, on 'Thursday appre hended by Mr. William White, linen-draper, an artive and respectable constable, assisted by it person of the name of Ntim. Barrow. It apnears that Barrow, who hat) seen the Hue and-cry in which those men are particularly described, and Are stated to be engaged in the pottery business, some days before seen those strangers in town, and suspecting them, he went after, and met them on Bachelor's-quay, and having accosted them, they informed bins that they were Eng men, and that their name was Sullivan. Ile sUspected strongly that they only assumed that insure ; and having foend out their lodging in Tobin-street, he there ascertained that their real name was Phillips., upon which Bartow ittruediately went for Mr. White, and both went towards the Mardyke-walk, where they found these two persons, and immediately appre- . headed them and took them before Alderman Sadler, where they underwent a strict examina tion, amd were then committed to gaol. These have been accompanied to this town by a third person, who, it. is supposed, is their bro ther, Myles - Phillips, also charged Aid) the mur ' der,loit who lilts unfortunately escaped. tie was in l'atriek•street,, exposing ware for sale, when the others were appreheatied, but having got some hint of the arrest, he matte off.

LAW INTELLIUENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, Nov. 7. The LORD CHANCELLOR came into Court this day at the usual hour, and continued sitting to three o'clock. His Lordship - intimated to the Gentlemen of the Bar, that he should strictly ob serve an arrangement, Matte on Tuesday last for taking appeals and rehearings only on Mondays and Tneidays during the-Term. Twelve months ago, he said he gave similar notice, but it was not observed, 14:141 the consequence wr.s, that he got through but a small number of appeals. He could not continue ►he irregularity. His Lord ship further observed, that he should attend to any applications on Thursdays and Saturdays. The motions were ut no public importance. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Nov. 7. LORD RIVERS V. KING AND OTHERS. Mr. Serjeant LENS moved for a new trial. in this.eatise, ‘Vhich was an action of trespass tried at the last tViltshire Assizes, to ascertain the boundaries of Cranbourne Chase, over which the plaintiff claims rights, extending over 500,000 acres in the counties of Mints,- Wilts, and Dor set. The defendants denied the extent of these rights, and seek to restrain them within about 150,000 acres, in what is called the Inner Boun dary of the Chase. The trial lusted two days, and Mr. Serjeaut Leis, who was Conn , el for the plaintit}, the verdict being for the defendants, was nearly three !tours in moving for a new trial. ll e stated she course of evidence adduced on the trial, which traced by ancient documents the rights and boundaries of the Chase from the time of lien 111., at which time it was in the perisessio - o of King John, then Earl of Gloucester. The title was deduced front that period to the pre sent plaintiff. With respect to the qoestion of boundaries, a great vaiiety of ancient court rolls, grants, leases, and acts of ownership, Wag shown over the iliiputed [round, a right of chiminnge, or road toll -rt tl►e oc►te► boundary Of the Chase. In the 6th of James I. also, t suit was instituted in the Exeliegner, in which suit the Barons directed' a map to be made, exhibiting both the inner and outer boundaries of the Chase, and that map was also produced at the trial, with the decree of the Court, establishing the claim ant's right over the extent to the outer boundaries. Besides, there was a Court of the Chase, and the ancient records of that Court were produced, which slimed that the Court sat on the disputed ground. itself. Mr. Sedeant•BEST, who went down special for she cause, met this evidence by a great deal of o' her docuntentary evidence, and attached the Decree in tne Exchequer as having been obtained by fiand and collusion. lie also gave evidence of a variety of aets of ownership of the defendants, and contended that his evidence went to spew that between the inner and outer boundaries of the Chase, was to be considered only as the purlieus of the Chase, as described by Lord Coke. The Learned Serjeant having stated the outline of the evidence given at the trial, moved for a new trial, on the ground that evidence was received which ought not to have beets received ; and that the. Learned Judge was wrong in his direction as to purliees, the text of Sir E Coke not wartant tug the law as was laid down upon his supposed authority at die trial. The Court said it was a case of such importance, that it was fit to grant a Rule to spew cause, INSOLVENT nEwroitY COURT. Yesterday this Court met for the first time since its atijournment. There are 300 cases for the pre sent Sittings ; but no business of any moment was transacted yesterday, the Court being chiefly oc cupied in making arrangements for the accommo dation of the Gentlemen of the liar, who are ne cessarily required at times to attend in the other Cimrts during Term. It was resolved 4, That the Business of this Court should commence at flit V past Ten o'Cloek in the Morning, and continue until Three o'clock; and that the Court should continue its Nittiugs daily until the preient Arrear of Business was dis posed of." OLD BAILEY, Nov. 7. Mx Taylor and Int. Judd, two young lads, bode 14 years old, were convicted of grand lar ceny. The punishment bring in the discretion of the Court, the .COMMON SIIRJEANT intimated hi s intention of sending the boys to the Philan thropic Institution . Robert Eden was convicted of stealing a bundle from the person of Miss Bailey, in Holborn. The COMMON SERJEANT observed, that the prisoner would be transported for life. This WAS a most useful prosecution, fur his Majesty's subjects must be protected from such depredations. David Cabilow and iittn, Jones were found guilty of a. burglary in the house of John Senate, on the sth of September, who is a butcher in .Spitalfields. The prosecutor had gone out in the evening, leav ing his wife and family in the house ; and about haMpast 5 the robbery was found to be commit- led. The wearing apparel stolen was traced to an 'old clothes shop, kept by Solomon Solomon s. Richard Dacidge stood. capitally indicted for stealing in the dwelling-}rouse' of Dr. Reece a silver tea-pot, value 101. The: prisoner, according to the depositiOne of the servant of the prosecutor, called tit the-house and said that he came to mend a drain, which was defective. No suspicion was entertained and he was admitted down stairs. After having pretend ed to examine the drain, he said to the servant, '' I think you are' called up stairs," but she said that she would no: go until she wax rung for. Pre sently the bell did ripg ; it was answered ; and upon the servant's coining down stairs again, she found the prisoner had contrived to make off with a silver tea-pot.----Guitty of stealing to the Value 0(39 shillings. The prisoner stood again indicted for, a similar offence in the house of Samuel Breuer, by steal ing therein a quantity of plate. Accompanied by another man, the prisoner went into the house as ,plumbers, under the pretence of measuring the water-pipe. One of the awn went into the hack pin lour with the servant to look at the pipe, amt the other proceeded into the kitchen, and ob. mined the property in stuestien. Both the men then went away, and said they would call next day. Of course the promise was not fulfilled.—Guilty. PaCTuall.--Thontos Goldsmith was indicted for wilful and corrupt perjury. Mr. ALLEY stated the case for the prosesution. John J. Wilson produced an office copy of a re cord, in a cause in which William Bainbridge was the plaintiff, and Mr. Osborn the defendant. Richard Smith, clerk to Lord Ellenborough, deposed, that the action in question was brought in the King's Bench on the 15th of July. Mr. Oliver, an attorney, was present at the trial. The defendant was examined as a witness for Osborne. Au account was 'put into the de fendant's hand on that occasion, and he was ask ed, whether the first entry of a bill of 1021. was in the book in October 1815, which Goldsmith denied. 'He said, that the bill of exchange upon which the action was brought was not paid when it became due. The note was drawn by Osborne, Butterfield, and Denny, and made payable to Charles Thoroughgood or order at seven months. The defendant said, that on the 25th of June, 1815, he hail paid Thorough good 50/. and a simi lar sum in October, at Malpas's, in the neigh bourhood of Covent-garden, and that Bainbridge was present at the time. The defendant said he paid these sums on account of the note, for which the action was then brought. Mr. Comma', for the prisoner, then mile an objection that the evidence for the prosecution was not complete. The whole of the averments in the indictment were not proved, as was re quired, according to the cases of the King r. Lough, In Term Reports, and the King v. Dow ding, in Peake's Reports. In the latter case, Lord Kenyon had decidedly given it as his opi nion, that hetore the conviction of a defendant for perjury the whole avelments in the indirtmeht tumt be proved. • Nir. ALLEY , on the other hand, maintaived that it was tint necessary for him to prove' t, very words sworn on the trial, and that the evidence was sufficiently complete, according to the opi n,ons of both Lord Ellenborough and Lotd Kenyon. The COMMON SEaJEANT, however, • watt of a different opinion. The evidence, he conceived, which had been adduced was not sufficient to con vict the defendant. The Jury therefore found.a Yerilict—.Not POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-I-IOUSE. A NEW KIND OF FORGEEY..--JOhi/ Williamson was yesterday brought before the LORD MAYOR, upon a charge of having committed a' forgery, with a view to obtain the discharge of a prisoner confined for debt, and now in the custody of the Marshal of the Fleet Prison. A Mr. Broadhurst, who is Clerk to Baron Graham, stated, that sonic days ago the prisoner obtained from hitn a-stIIIMMIIs in an action enti tled KLNT V. lIOt'KINS, calling on the plaintiff to attend at the Judge's Chambers, to show cause why the defendant should not he discharged bons custody, in consequence of the plaintiff having omitted to enter up judgment in dile time. On a subsequent day the prisoner demanded a second summons, saying that he had in the first instance mistaken the plaintiff's name, which was Mil ward, and not Kent. The second summons was granted on this application, but no appearance was made to either. The prisoner again presented hint•elf to the witness the day after he had pro cured the corrected summons, and showed upon it an endorsement, which be said was the writing of a Mr. Alexander, a Solicitor, residing in the New Inn, who, by Williamson's account, was employed in the action by the pl►►intiff. The en dorsement signified the Solicitor's consent, under the authority of the plaintiff, to the discharge of the defendant. The mean appearance of the pri soner, and the circumstance of the extraordinary mistake which rendered an amended summons ne cessary, led the witness to suspect the integrity of the dealing : he accordingly rejected the pt toner's application to him to make out the order for the discharge of the defendant until the Soli citor to the action should conic forward and prove his hand-writing The witness soon after waited upon Mr. Alexander, who immediately said that the endorsement was a forgery, and tl►at he had not been at all concerned for the plaintiff in the action. A warrant was under this assurance issued for the apprehension of the prisoner, and an iutor. :nation was sent to Messrs. Clarke and Richards, the Solicitors engaged in the action, entitled Mil• ward v. Hopkins, who preferred this charge in the Justice-room. _ Upon searching the prisoner, en officer found another forged consent to the discharge of a pri soner who was defendant in an action tried its the Court of Common Picas. This purported to be signed by Mr. Pearson, a Solicitor, in Grenfell street, upon application to wkom, it was ascer tained that neither the prisoner nor the summons 11441 been ever seen by him. It was represented 14 the parties who com plained against the prisoner, that there W4S a .very serious aggravation of his ofrenee, namely, that he had swcirn, upon obtaining the superadeas on the latter consent, that he saw Mr. Pearson place his signature to it. - Mr. llout.e•u said, that no case of a similar de scription had ever been. brought before the Lord Mayor upon any hornier oceasion.—Fully commit ted upon both charges. QUEEN-SQUARE. CURIOUS RaMOVAL or a PAUPER.-. 4 Mr. Adams and another Uentleman from the village of Bray, near Maidenhead, in Berkshire, and which gave rise to the old saying and song of " The Vicar of Bray," brought a boy (about nine years of age) to the Office, under the following novel andeurious circumstances :•-c-The Gentleman stated to the Magistrate, 'that three days ago the boy was put down in the street in Bray, during the night, by one of the west country waggons, and in the morn ing was found asleep strider a gateway by some persons who happened to be the first passengers that witv. These people took him to the Over seer, wir; conducted him to the Vestry-room, where he was examined, and 'they gathered from him that be was sent from the Workhouse at Chelsea to kirk Pak-corner, end there put into a covered waggon, which had brought Lim to Bray and left him there, as above stated.* He said the person who took him to the waggon paid the wagg oner six shillings tor his passage. Mr. Adams said that he and his companion had been deputed at a toll vestry meeting to bri n g , boy back to Chelsea. On coming to town tat bad been informed the parish business otchelseii was transacted at this Office, and had therefor" • called to know it a pass had been granted here for his removal. The Magistrate (Mr. CoLounoux) told them no pass hatLbeen granted there, and for thia.P94 reason, that the parish officers %veil knew that no Magistrate at any Office would grant `a piss such evidence as the boy's account of himself. 4 " advised them to take the boy to the vestry clerks; Chelsea, and they would be able from him 10.0 , tain information whether the story told was'ettfr rect. The boy was dearly a casualty at Om lU parish, and they had endeavoured to pa1tn , 10,10.5 a casualty on that of Bray. Mr. Adams and his companion thanked the MP• gistrate for his advice, and, with the boy, departed to follow it. MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
