- • SPIRIT OE' THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. Among notable schemes broached at the East Suffolk Airicultural Meeting, it was coolly proposed by a Mr. Twiss to co i n t h e sovereign at two-thirds of its present value, " so that the ounce of gold should make pax sovereigns, as it ought to do."' The mani fest cl.everness of this expedient seems to have excited the pa-..titular attention of this agricultural assembly. Ingo - Lions as this projected change may be, however, it wist- be allowed that, at any rate, there is no no- Ye.ty in it ; and its frequent trial and as constant failure rshow that this species of (locus poems, like all other Currency tricks, not only does not answer the purpose of those who resort to it, but tends to injure, in a par ticular manner, the very parties who imagine they are most certain of acquiring prosperity by its medium . . •Denreciating- the Currency, in some shape or of,' ner , ims been the philosopher's stone of a `'',ass r "political alchemists in all periods. W e find, as early as the reign of Henry Ili,, the people complaining of the pressure of taxation and the dearth of money—" It was thought good to change the old money 'arid make it baser." "By which means, h0wcv,..„,,, we are told, " the grievance was increased, instead of being redressed." Previously to this time, site pound weight of silver and the pound sterling were identical ; but by this contrivance says the historian, th e people scarce received 20s. for 30s. In. the reivii of Henry IV., " the great scarcity of money was again made the pretext for lowering the value of the coinage. The previous sterling value of the ntetals had been fixed at 1/. ss. for the pound of silver, and 151. for that of gold. But now, silver was idcclared to make 'l/. 10s., and gold 161. 13s. 4d.; so . -that," says Taylor, from whom we, quote, " the pre cious metals were not only enhanced, but the it relative value was again altered. Silver was enhanced one fifth, or 20 per cent., and gold little more than one tenth ;" by these means we find, however, that a tem porary prosperity was induced. " But," observes our author, " as increased pi fees and increased wages (when unrestrained by law, naturally fol lowed in the train of consequences, a further increase of the mercantile value of gold an., silver ; so when the King had reaped the first fr.:;its of a diminution of the coin, and he, as well as otters, had enjoyed the privilege of paying off his .debts with a less quantity of the precious metals than that in which they had been contracted ; then the old evil of great scarcity of money within th e rea l m of En g l an d, and other mischiefs and causes,' gradually re turned, and called for a repetition of the process." In the fourth year of Edward IV., gold and silver were both enhanced 25 per cent., " which was in effect (says Taylor) to tell every one who owed 1001. to take his bill quickly, and write down four-score :" and in the next year the gold coinage was still fur ther deteriorated. Henry VIII. pursued the same system to an inordinate extent ; and the small shil ling of his successor, induced Bishop Latimer (wish ing to reprove the covetousness of the Court) to ob serve sarcastically, in a sermon before the King, • " We have now a pretty little shilling indeed, a very pretty one ; I have but one, I think, in my purse, and the last day I had put it away almost for an old groat ; and so I trove some will take them." The good Bishop's admonitions appear, however, to have bad hut an indifferent effect upon those to whom they - were addiessed ; for we find soon afterwards the dete rioration of the coinage was so diligently prosecuted 4. that on one occasion a clear profit of 160,000/..., cas gained by the Government upon one issue ; '2.od this public robb ery was perpetrate d f or the . 81 .Leged pur pose " of paying the debt of the realm, of defending the country, and of amending the 41Din." But mark the consequences— " After the first reduction :;pave mentieoned, an appre hension currently prevailed, chat another would soon fol low, for which cause peor,:ce refused to brinc , provisions to the markets, choosing rather to keep them than run the risk of being cheated out of the value of the money which they might receive in e.xehange for them, in consequence of which a great scarcity was presently felt..' For this new evil a remedy was sought in a procl2„. 'nation from the King, " stating that these elects arose from false and untrue rumours which were spread by certain lewd persons who of their Own light heads (was this meant for a pun?) had imagined that be cause the King had somewhat %bated the value of his coin, he should therefore more abate it ;" and then proceeding to award heavy penalties of fine and impri sonment to all those who should be found spreading such abominable reports of his Majesty's intentions. " About a month after this," we are told, " the second 'reduction was made." Now it is worthy of remark that in all these changes the greatest loss is said to Lave fallen upon the " lower orders," " the richer sort of PoPle having a knowledge of these changes before hand." Nor did the landholders find that it answered any permanent purpose. Our author quotes an obser vation of Sir Dudley North— "That the country entlemen are commonly full o f one profound mist a k e , which' is, that if a great deal of money be made, they must of course have a share of it, such being a supposed consequence of what they call plenty of money. So little do men fellow the truth of things in their delibe rations, but shallow unthought prejudices carry them away by shoals." It . must be perfectly evident that by whomsoever or whenever it be attempted, a depreciation of the Cur rency is a mere species of legerdemain, which, like any other sort of cheatcry, may for the moment enrich an individual or a class at the expense of the whole, but is totally inefficient for any good or national pur pose ; and even to those who do profit by it on the onset, it is like an unnatural stimulus, the exciting, influence of which is followed by corresponding ex haustion, and leads to the necessity for an ever-re returning and ever-increasing repetition, till the system being corrupted to the core, sinks under the accu mulated exhaustion which no further stimulus can effective:y combat. But this sort of political al chemy, - which our Currency doctors would foist up on the public, is not likely to become dangerous in an age which has experienced its fallacy, and in which the very Statesmen who are most looked up to by its unreflecting dupes, have taken so prominent a part in the endeavour, now fortunately successrul, to return to a sound and practicable sys tem.—Morning Chronicle.

Why, this is as notable a discovery as that if the State thinks fit to adppt the principle of a constitutional mcnarchy, it creates distrust and discontent among those of its subjects who happen to be of the Republican " per suasion." There must be everywhere some one form of civil government, and we who are friends to a church establishment affirm that there must be some one esta blished church. The question is, for Englishmen, what church ought . to be preferred ? The general impression upon that point is, that the creed of the majority ought to be that o't . the Monarch : 'take the United Kingdom as a whole, the Church of England is the church of the. majority. But if it were not, what other could be chosen ? Of Protestant Dissenters the most nume rous are the Independents, who would not be an esta-, blished church if it were proposed to them to-morrow. The Baptists arc equally averse to it. The Presbyte rians make not more than an eighth of the inhabitants of the United Kingdom. Then come to be considered the Roman Catholics. Now, even did the Papists constitute half the population of England, as they do the large numerical majority of the Irish, there are reasons, we trust by this time apparent—nay, familiar to the Protestants of both islands—why, conceding every other point, Popery, under no circumsta , - .ces, ought to be made the established religio- Sta'e, unless the people had already r .,501 - vei t o o f m a ak f e re a e burnt-offering of their liberties, it i s " tulle to assert, as has been said of us, ttat we tee nothing " objection able" in the Romish . 'faith "ot.,'t D. religion." What we did state was perfe;,'ity clew Viz., that there was nothing in Popery, as to matters of mere faith, which would justify the supreme pow- e r of the State in attempting to suppress or interfe:e with it; but that the system of universal tyran:,,- y which was . enforced by the Church Governme reat of the Papists made th a t s y s t em one o f g d ..inger and mischief to the civil 'rights and en ments of the whole nation. There 'are some who do not choose to see this plain distinction between matters of faith and discipline. We shall offer but a single instance. Transubstantiation is an article of religious belief with every Roman Catholic, whereas the celibacy of the Clergy is a mere regulation of discipline, form ing no part of the Romish creed, ingrafted on the tem poral church, we think, about the Bth century, but con stituting of itself, in the judgment of Protestants, one of the most sinister and evil characteristics of the whole edifice of Popery, because it withdraws the priest from all domestic and social ties, and leaves him no earthly office or existence but as.a member of a separate, am bitious, and selfish corporation, preying upon the rest of mankind. ,It is not, therefore, because of wha; a lay Papist or a Popish ecclesiastic may believe a abstract propositions of doctrine, that we would im. pose upon them any political restraints, or indulge preferences to their exclusion ; it is because their priests lay claim to, and exercise over the whole Popish body, powers of dictation —powers of coercion—powers of exaction —power s o f a b so l u ti on -- an d above 4 11, o f castigation, involving a general sway o *; , er the minds and actions of other men hostile t 9 every authority but their own, an d su b vers i ve of lr..w . and of eivil government. With the man who bas read those official records of the conduct of the Irish priesthood, which we have now many days in, succession laid before the public, and who har.lig read and reflected on them can sympathize with, the cause of those incendiaries, or ask, with an air of wonder, why should they be thwarted in their exer tions against the ascendancy of the Protestant church, and the safety of the United Kingdom ?—with such a man we arc little disposed to argue. The folly of ad , ducing the Papists in America as a reason for investing them with substantial power here is utterly contemptible. In America they dare not stir, or speak a word beyond their breath, being not above one-tenth of the popu lation. In France, ag's..*:in, the priesthood arc kept down, as they are in Austria, and other military States, by the sword. But look at them in Belgium, where their enormous power and domineering spirit are' re go):",ied as an incubus upon the liberal policy and free institutions of the country. Look at what they have been for ages in Spain and Portugal, where the first nobles of the land were within these fifteen ) ears corn pelled by fear to enroll themselves among the menials of the Inquisition. Finally, see them as they are at this moment, riding roughshod over the whole political and moral face of Ireland : and then let any man ask with a grave countenance whether such messengers of ill can be discreetly trusted or patiently endured among the powers of a free and enlightened realm ?—whether, in short, those measures from which the Popish priest hood loudly anticipates the fulfilment of all its most aspiring hopes of supreme and unresisted sovereignty are such as honest, wise, and provident Englishmen ought to pass through Parliament.—Times. Expectation is every where on the tiptoe as to what will be the contents of Lord John Russell's speech to his Bristol Friends, on Tuesday next. Allowing to his Lord Ship the great advantage of a willing audience, yet there is danger even-in that ; for unless he is pre pared, which we suspect he is riot, " to go the whole hog, he is likely to be placed in the awkward di lemma of displeasing, friends without propitiating , op ponents. The great art of after dinner oratory is to say a great deal about nothing ; or, in other words, fo beat about the bush without ever coming to the point. Whether this is what the - American Indians mean by a palaver, we cannot tell ; but of this we are convinced, that that word and its prototype " humbug" form the general standard of that time of day eloquence to which we allude. Lord John Russell will no doubt, avail himself of these two signal posts as far as they will carry him ; but yet he must, after all, ar rive at the wide open common where no such guides are to be found, and, when there, must pick out his road, as welt as his ingenuity and the supposed bearings of the country will admit of. On the oc casion to which we allude Lord John is to be feasted and toasted as the parent of Reform —or rather of the Reform Act—for to Lord Grey, the cast-off and ill used Member of the Whig Government, must the true parentage of Reform be ever justly assigned. But even here the Noble Lord, we should think, will find sonic difficulty in bearing his unqualified testimony to the working of his own measure ; nor will that difficulty he at all lessened by the unfortunate fact, that some of the most striking discrepancies exist in his own family, and indeed in his own person. Few parents are so inhuman as to mutilate their own children, or wil lingly to permit their grandfathers to do so.' Yet so it is here. Lord John's own Bloomsbury vote iS a tad disfigurement of his own offspring, while eßedford and Hertford faggots .are so many Wholesale mutila tions brought about by and under eimmeditttt tion of the-grandfather of ".'ne Tleforrft Act, Lordjohti Russell's father r a willing —.vett unit (tate ; as We nakt said, ....attenee, awl thetetuit ) ,as 11).r as they are con -this di{ ditty might be got over. But his LordWip, who a nn author himself, will be to well aware that he will have to speak to readers as well as hearers, and that it does not at all follow that the tipsy cheers of the latter will Pall hi With the sober judgment of the..former. And if his own family do ings, under the Reform Act, were not altogether re crortellable with that blindness of parental affection which he will be inclined to bestow upon his offspring, we are still more curious to learn what the kind of notice will be which-the licble Lord will take of the late open sale of the representation of the county of Carlow. There's the rub. " Down with the Lords !" says Mr. O'Connell, " I am the missionary of the Government." " Here's a seat for the county of Car low for two thousand pounds," says the same all powerful authority. " Done," says Mr. Raphael, and, quick, presto, he is seated. To be sure, he is almost as soon unseated, but that is nothing to the ar gument. Now all thi s , an d muc h more, stares Lord John Russell in the face previous to the Bristol meet ing. ,When he has digested it, " then to the dinner with what appetite he may. '—illorning Herald. Nothing can more clearly demonstrate the miserable want of argument which prevails among the Whig journalists than their constant and imbecile repetition of the absurd charge against the Conservatives, of being the real cause of O'Connell's consequence, by their incessant attecks upon him. To assert that we, who hold up this man's conduct to universal execra tion ; who denounce him as the author of all the miseries of his Priest-ridden country ; who, over and over again, have exposed his designs for the subversion of our Protestant Establishment ; and who have, we trust successfully, endeavovred to awaken our country mcq to a just understanding of 'his scheme§ for the Cerr ROLL . B - COURT.-FRIDAY. Tltt KTTORNEY-GENERAI, V. THE FISHMONGER'S COMPANY. • Mr. BICKERSTETH, who appeared for the relators, was abe:dt opening the case, when Mr. PEMBERTON, who appeared for the defendants, said that he did not understand how the case now came before the Court. When the matter was before the Court, on a former occasion, the late Master of the Rolls, with great warmth stopped the argument, and said that he would re fer the case to th 6 Attorney-General, to ascertain whether he thought it proper to proceed with it. After the parties had left the Court, his Honour said that he would cause his Secretary to write to the Attorney-General that he might examine the matter. The parties, after endeavour ing to come to a compromise, were summoned before the late Attorney-General, Sir F. Pollock, who after hearing the statement of one side, refused to interfere at all. He (Mr. Pemberton) thought that the Attorney-General was bound to obey the order of the Court, and that he ought not to be suffered to depart from those duties which were imposed upon him by the office which he held. Mr.. ANDERTON and Mr. ROMILLY, who appeared be fore the Attorney-General as Counsel for the parties, con firmed the statement of Mr. Pemberton. It appeiaed to them that the Attorney-Genhral had refused to exercise his judgment in the matter. His Honour the MASTER of the ROLLS said that all the Court could do was to call the attention of the Attorney- General to the case. He did not at all understand that the Attorney-General was to be at liberty to say that, from the circumstance of his being a party to the proceedings, he would not exercise his judgment as to whether the case should proceed or not. If the Attorney-General exercised his judgment and adopted the suit as a proper one to pro ceed with, then he had done all the late Master of the Rolls had required ; but if he had refused to interfere at all then his (the Master of the Rolls') duty would be to follow the course adopted by the late Master of the Rolls. After some further discussion at the Bar, His HONOUR said that he thought himself bound to give to the public and to the suitors in this case the same pro tection which the late Master of the Rolls had thought ne cessary. The only objection he had to the course he was about to pursue was, that he might appear to be expressing an opinion as to the merits of a case about which he knew nothing. He should, therefore, in the words of the former order, direct the case to be laid before the Attorney-Ge neral, in order that he might form an opinion as to whether it would be for the interests of the charity sought to be af fected by this information to proceed with the suit. His HONOUR was engaged for the remainder of the day in hearing causes, none of which contained any points of interest. KING'S BENCH-FRIDAY. HODGXINSON V. MAYER. This was an action to recover from the defendant penal ties incurred by practising in the County Court of Stafford without being an admitted attorney. At the trial of' the cause at the last Stafford Assizes, it appeared that the plaintiff had been admitted as an attorney in 1828, and had taken out his certificate until 1833, when he omitted to do so, but had since continued to practise in the County Court. The Jury gave a verdict for the plaintiff. Sir W. FOLLETT now moved to set that verdict aside, and to enter it nonsuit on the ground that the action was nut maintainable, because the statute, 2d Geo. 11.,.cap. 23, and 12th Geo. 11., cap, 13, applied only to attornies prac tising in the superior Courts of Record. In the first the words were, " the Court of King's Bench, Common Pleas, o . r Exchequer, or Duchy of Lancaster, or any of his Ma- Jesty's Courts of Great Sessions in Wales, or in any of the Courts of the Counties Palatine of Chester, Lancaster, and Durham, or in any other Court of Record in England wherein attornies have been aceustomably admitted and sworn." The County Court clearly did not fall within any one of these descriptions, and the latter Statute, which was designed to prevent unqualified persons practising in County Courts, forbade any person, after the 24th of June, 1739, so to practise, " who is not, or shall not then be, legally ad mitted an attorney," according to the Statute of 2 Geo. 11., c. 23. Thu 23th and 37th Geo. 111., were merely Re vetitte Acts, and the omission to take out a certificate under those Acts did not render a person unqualified under the fattier Acts. The authority for this was the case Hodg son and Ros's, 1 Harrison and Wollaston's Reports, 265, where this Court held that though under the 37th Geo. 111. the milis§lOn to take out a certificate made an attor ney's admission null and void, it did not render him an un qualified person within th , :- 22d Geo. 11., c. 46. The same rule of construction must be applied in the present case.— Rule Nisi granted. BRIDGWOUD V. WYNN. Mr. Sergeant 1471iCow — tt[oveil for ' ;tile to show cause why the vordict should not be entered in this case for the plaintiff or why a new trial should not be granted. This was an action for an assault, tried at the last Assizes for Ctloncester, beford Lard Denman, when it appeared that the assault was the result of a drunken brawl and after the case had been fully gone through, the Jury found a verdict for the defendant, damages one farthing. The Judge and Counsel, it being the last day of the Assizes, hurried out of Court without any very accurate idea of the verdict which had been returned, and the consequence was that the mistake of the Jury In giving a verdict with da mages to a defendant was not discovered till some little time afterwards, when the attorney for the defendant asked his Counsel what they should do with the farthing da mages, and was answered, " Give it to the plaintiff." The Learned Sergeant produced an affidavit of one of the Jury men to show that the verdict had been given' by mistake, in consequence of the defendant's Counsel having begun the cause. Lord DENMAN remarked that the affidavit of one Jury man could not be taken to explain the opinions of the rest, and that he himself was satisfied with the verdict, as the case was a trumpery one.—Rule refused. BAIL COURT.-FRIDA.Y. SUMMERSBY V. SHERLEY. The plaintiff brought his action to recover the sum of Gel. 10s. upon a hill of exchange. The circumstances from which the action arose were as follow :—Some time since, Mr. Robert Nelson, of the Belle Savage, was indebted to the plaintiff in certain sums, and as a security he took two bills of exchange, which were endorsed over to him as a col lateral security, he having signed a warrant of attorney to confess judgment. When the first instalment became due, judgment was entered up, and the money paid. When the second instalment was due, a fc. fa. was issued ; but that, accordir , to the defendant had also been paid, with the ex penses which had accrued thereon. To prove this, Mr. Bensfield, aO , attorney,' was called, who underwent a very COMMON PLEAS.-FRIDAY. star§bar V. gilt liofll2o' TiiS - tVa an a'etion flied at the last Surrey Attifb;fi'lfoH the plaintiff; at his Oin feqiiest; was nonsuited. itippeared that; in the yedf,.1717 ; the late Sir William Clayton ' took a lease fidm the DliChv.of dernvHil.fpr three of Certain property ea!IN t 4 lieuriihgtdn in the 1 . 85 Ile Vdhtea a tilli;itiitSe: Hr f 35 e.^aFs f 8 two persons of the names of Maser and Hampson, of whoin the plaintiff is assignee.

In the year 1834 all the interests of the Claytons ceased, and the pre sent action was brought against the defendant for not using dne exertions in'having this lease renewed. 811tA to-tlay moved to set aside the nonsuit. It WAS true that it was quite unusual for a person who chose the election of being nonsuited to move to set it aside ; but he trusted, under the peculiar circumstances, the Court would not adhere so strictly to that rule. The Learned Judge who presided expressed an opinion that the law was against the plaintiff. Counsel, with all due deference to that opinion, took the election of a nonsuit to a verdict against his client, though, on a more mature consideration of the vase, he should have resisted that opinion, and have let the case go to the Jury. He was free to admit that the demand of the Duchy of Cornwall was a large one, yet when it was considered the price which had been originally paid for the property, 485,0001., and the vast value of it now, containing 1,400 houses and a population of 10,000 people, such a valuable lease should not have been per mitt:id to fall, to the great detriment of his client ; and, moreover, since the nonsuit, other facts have come to light which will give the plaintiff a good and substantial title to compensation for the negligence of the defendant, in not procuring a renewal of the lease from the Duchy of Corn wall.—'rhe Court granted a rule nisi. EXCHEQUER COURT.-FRIDAY. GARItY V. JUDYINS. Mr. H UMFREY moved for a rule to show cause why the verdict for the defendant should not be set aside, and a new trial had. The case had been tried before the Sheriff of Middlesex ; the plaintiff, who was an attorney, seeking to recover the amount of 191. odd from the defendant, for work and labour done, and money out of pocket. The plaintiff proved his case by witnesses, and all that the de fendant relied on was cn agreement which he alleged to have been made, that be should only Pay the plaintiff the costs which he was out of pocket ; but he called no evidence to substantiate this. Notwithstanding he produced no cor roboration of his bare assertion, the Jury immediately found a verdict for the defendant. Mr. Baron PARSE—Take a rule, certainly. ABBOTT AND ANOTHER, ASSIGNEES OF ARBOR, V. OUSELEY. Mr. Sergeant BOMPAS said that this case had been tried in July, in this Court, before Lord Abinger, when a verdict was found for the defendant. The Learned Counsel now moved for a new trial on the ground of insufficiency of evi dence, and a misdirection on the part of the Learned Judge. Mr. Arbor, the bankrupt, had been engaged by the defen dant, Sir Gore Ouseley, to build a house, which he agreed to do for a certain sum. On going to Sir Gore Ouseley, he found the plans so different from the original, that he ob jected to sign the agreement, unless there were appended a stipulation to pay him a certain sum for additional labour, when his wish being complied with, he. signed the document. Before completing the work lie became a bankrupt, and the plaintiff finished it. The defendant refused to pay the amount, on the ground that Arbor had not completed his contract, although no complaint was made of the plaintiff's work.—The COURT granted a rule. STODART V. DRYDEN. This was an action on a mortgage deed for 6001., tried before Lord Abinger, at Durham,' when the Jury found for the plaintiff. The defendant pleaded that the deed was not his, but a countetfeit one. Mr. CRESWELL now moved for a Rule to show cause why the verdict should not be set aside, and a new trial Clad. He founded his application on the fact of Lord Abinger having rejected as evidence at the trial a declaration of a person named M'Crie, one of the witnesses to the mort gage. The Learned Counsel cited several cases in con firmation of his views. The Comr thought no sufficient grounds had been shown for the motion, and would not grant the Rule. BELL V. lIARRISON AND OTHERS. This case was tried at Durham, before Lord Abinger, and a verdict to the amount of one hundred and forty pounds found for the plaintiff. The action was brought by the plaintiff, who lived at South Shields, against the defen dants, the Directors of the Stanhope Railway, for a nuisance. The plaintiff complained that, by reason of the noise and smoke proceeding from the Railway, his house, which was originally worth 8501., had been reduced in value to 3501. The plaintiff laid damages at 3501., and the Jury gave a verdict for 140/. Mr. WATSON now moved for a new trial on the ground of excessive damages, and said that South Shields being a large manufacturing town, might be considered full of smoke. There were some alkali works near the plaintiff's, the smoke of which destroyed all vegetation, in fact it destroyed the coat on one's back.—(Laughter.) Besides, since the com mencement of the action, the alleged cause of nuisance had considerably diminished. The Court granted a conditional rule that the verdict should be final, unless the plaintiff could show at any future time that the nuisance was greater than at the time the ver dict was found. PALACE COEUT.-FRIDAY. LEE, ESQ., V. RAVENSCRO'YT. This was an action brought by J. Y. Lee, Esq., a Bar rister of the Chancery Bar, to recover of the defendant, the well known wig-maker of Serle-street, Lincoln's-inn-fields, ti.e sum of 19 guineas. Mr. Ross, with 'whom was Mr. Gaselee, appeared for I.ie plaintiff ; and Mr. Erle and Mr. Bosanquet for the de- Fendant, It appeared that the plaintiff had assisted the defendant with loans of money, and an agreement was entered into between the parties that the defendant should assign the lease of his premises ; that the plaintiff should repair them, and grant an under-lease of the loWer part of the house. Two sums of 101. bad been advanced, and 121. paid for plate glass. The two former sums were now sought to be reco vered. Letters were read, written by the defendant, in which he stated that Lord Abinger, the Speaker of the House of Commons, Mr. Horace Twiss, and other's, were his customers, whose debts he could in time collect. For the defendant it was contended that the sums had been advanced under the agreement which was read, and the consideration was to be an assignment of the lease ; and that the defendant had proposed to give security on his furniture. The Learned JUDGE told the Jury the question for them to determine was, whether the money had been advanced according to the agreement or independently. The pleadings were very lengthy. • The Jury, after a short - consultation, found a verdict for the defendant. —The trial lasted four hours. PAGE V. TUCKER AND WIFE. This was an action by a widow to recover 461. Is. Id. for sundry goods and money lent to Mrs. Mathews, a widow shopkeeper, from the Ist of September, 1834, to June. 1835. It appeared that Mrs. Mathews was married to Mr. Tucker in May last, and part of the articles were furnished since her marriage. It was contended that he was not liable, and that the items had not been correctly proved. It was proved by one witness that. Mr. Mathews had been dead fifteen months. The Learned JUDGE said the Jury would take the bill and give such a verdict as would meet the justice of the case. The Jury found a verdict for 361. 165., and the attorney said be must bring another action against Mr. Tucker for the difference, the Jury having deducted the articles fur nished since the marriage.
