MORNING SUN SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. TEOII THE DAILY PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. GLOBE.—.TheCOniraitilation; addressed by Lord Lyndhurst to the company at the Lord Mayor's din ner, taken with the history of the " legislative pro vision" with which his Lordship connected them, sim ply means, that the Tories " struggled' . successfully to prevent the public from deriving from it the advan tages it proposed to confer, by facilitating the adminis tration of justice in that Court, which had become a nuisance rather then a benefit, in consequence of the tardiness of its proceedings—until they should be able to select the.additiottal Judges from their own parte ranks, and provide for the son of Lord Abinger in the way we have described, by fastening him—as a recom pense for a few months occupancy of an enormously paid office about to be abolished—a pensioner upon the public revenue ! So much for the subject-matter of Lord Lyndhurst's laudatory oration—the "we have at length been able to obtain," to which the citizens were expected to respond with suitable " cheers." Lord Lyndhurst is egregiously mistaken if be sup poses that the newly-appointed Chancery Judges, or the newly-issued Chancery Commission, will remove " the standing reproach on the Court of Chancer)." The evils in which that "standing reproach" originated, sink deeper into the system than they will venture to sound, and rise higher than they will presume to scar, in search of their origin, or the patronage which pro tects and fosters them. Toe Court of Chancery, to be worthy of, or worth anything to the country, must be so constitutes as to be placed in a condition to ad. minister justice at a cheap and easy rate to all suitors, be the value of the property in dispute 500,0001., or only 50/. To palliate the evils which abound in the constitution of that Court, is rather to retard the crisis which assuredly awaits it, and which can be postposed only to the period when the institu tions of the country are adapted to the improved spirit and character of the age. The additional Judges, "and the newly-issued Commission, may serve to ward off the dreade I catastrophe from those of the present g:neta tion who batten upon the harassing delays and ruinous expenses to suitors in that " standing reproach" upon the public justice of the country. • STANDARD.—The happy birth of the Heir Ap parent, and the safety of a beloved Sovereign, are still the engrossing eubjects of interest, anti we should fret shame for the'ilei-eneracy of Englishmen if any other subject riralled them ; hut there is no cause for appre hension of such an occasion to blush. Englishmen are what they always were.* Their public virtue has its root where only national virtue can ever flourish — in the reverence for domestic duties and domestic affections ; they are the best citie2ns, because they are first the beet sons, ,husband.', and fathers ; but al their highest domestic affections are now awakened symp:thy with their Sovereign aid her family. It i; almost to desecrate the love of which Queen Victoria is with so many millions the object, to mingle witL it any consideration of loyalty, still more es alloy it eeith a sense of personal interest ; but were it not indeecree unnecessary tssk to reinforce the feeling of personal effectiee by considerations of loyalty and of intcre;t, the birth of an hear to the British Crown and to the House of Hanover suggests such considerations in ample profusion. The Crown of England is held by older, more numerous, and more sacred titles than any crown in the world. Its tenure is of the extent of one thousand years at least ; and though that tenure has been in early times broken by interruptions, these interruptions have been brief, and the possession has constantly reverted to the family of her who • now adorns it. This proves no Divine right—but it proves the general virtue of the family to which the glorious inheritance has constantly been reserved, and the indelible loyalty of the British nation. The dignity of the Crown of England is in deed transcendent, and it has been so guarded by Pro vidence to the family hold:ng it for a thousand 3 ears, that there is some excuse for the votaries of Divine right. It is, however, upon the heals of the Hanover branch of the Illustrious House of England that the British Crown has beamed with the greatest brilliancy - -a brilliancy not less splendid because mild and beneficent. COURIER.—There is not a quarter of the British dominions, widely extended as they are, in which the birth of a Prince of Wales will net be hailed with an equal degree of vivid and joyous enthu siasm, as that which bailed the auspicious tveet oa Tuesday throughout the length and breadth of this vast metropolis. The birth of the Heir appa rent to the throne of these realms has been ever signalized in British history as an occasion for the outpourings of gratitude and thankfulness to the All-wise Disposer of all Raman events as well as for the ma, l ifes. tations of that ardent and affectionate loyalty which so prominently marks the character of Englishmen. With us, thank heaven ! loyalty is not a bare ab straction ; it is a vivifying principle, inspiring senti Intents of reverence and love for the person of the Sovereign, of obedience and attaAtment to sovereignty itsete and if ever the nation was permitted to give way so its joyoeg and generous impulses wholly and unre tser vedly—if ever there was an event connected with the occupants of the British Throne which may be celebrated iby all classes. ranks, and conditions of people, as not only a present blessing but the promise of innumerable future ones—it is that which thrilled all loyal and faith fel hearts with joy on Tuesday list. The nation re joices in it as filing up the measure of her Gracious Majesty's happiness—as gladdening t'.e heart of }ter Illustrious Consort—not more illustrious by ex piked station, than by the sublimest virtues, and as realising the fondest hopes of an a'ixious and grateful peienle. Our beloved Queen has nude 'red herself to the hesits and affections of every class of her subjects, by a eombina,';on of the rarest moral and intellectual attri butes, Iu every quality that, dignifies the woman, and beeomes the Queen of a free people, our present Gra cious Majesty stands alone and unapproached, the per fect model of every womanly and queenly virtue, And therefore it is, that even on personal grounds she com mends the dutiful affections of her people. Daring her short. reign (may it be long and glorious) she has in evesy act of her life shown herself a truly constitutional monarch ---benevolently anxious to promote the welfare o her people, to consult their wishes and be guided by their legitinneeie and constitutionally expressed advice. MONEY - MARKET and CITY NEWS. FROM THE MORNINO PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. / Dux —The &continuance of the second monthly I snail to Ametea during the four months of December, January, Fehi• it ,,,;azand 11Earch, is complained of in the Ci ty, as, s i ne , the Ch ,rd steamers began to ply, almost all other conveyances for' letters have . been disused, so that, in the event of one steamer failing, mercantile men are certain to have to sa•:Alt an additional month for their remittances. • The practice adopted at the Post-office in Lombard street, of closing the windows on foreign p ost-ni g hts im mediately on th e clock striking ten, and notwithstanding the presence of a - vast number of persons who have come with their lettere,. and who not being the foremost in the crowd are unable to give them in, is much complained of anion;; merchants. It is clear that the parties, by arriving at the Post-office at the proper hour, have exercised all the punctuality that can be fairly required, and it is hard that they should be the sufferers whenever there is a larger concourse than usual. The liberty of proceeding to St. Martin's-1e- Grand is not considered sufficient, as, besides the danger of carrying about valuable property at a late hour, the same evil is repeated there at eleven o'clock, while at half-past eleven all means of transmitting the letters is at a n end for the night. An easy method might be adopted fin- the prevention of this public Inconvenience. At the given hour a bar might be dropped preventing the approac h of persons to the ()ilk?, while all those already there might be allowed the advantage of their punctuality, although not 'so fortunate as to be first at the window.

The LORD CHANCELLOR took motions and causes to day. BRIERLY V. BOURCHIER.—JUDGMENT. The LORD CHANCELLOR gave judgment to-day in this case, which was argued before the Court a few days since. The only question in the case was whether, under the will of a gentleman named Owen Gray, his son, Nathan Gray, had an absolute power of disposition over the estate in question, or whether he had only a life estate in diem. 'Upon the case coming on before the present Master of the Rolls, his Lordship decided that Nathan Gray . had an absolute power .of disposition of the property in question, and from that decision the party against whom it was pronounced appealed. That appeal was argued a few days since, and the Court now gave judgment. His Lordship, after going over the facts of the case, stated his opiLion to be that the judg ment of the Court below was correct, and ordered it to be affirmed. The COURT then proceeded to hear appeal motions. ROLLS' COURT; Nov 11. The MASTER of the Pious was occupied all the morn ing in hesring motions, none of which had any features of general interest. BARBER V. SW NN. Mr. TURNER, with whom was Mr. Brno, stated that this case came before the Court upon exceptions to the Master's report. A gentleman named Barber was seised in fee of the property in question, and in January, 1832, agreed to sell a certain portion of it to two gentlemen named Buddel. On the 9th of February, 18:32, Messrs. Buddel agreed to sell the property to a person named Wollason, and on the 22d May, in the same year, the Buddels authorised Mr. Barber to receive the purchase money that would be due'to them from IVollason. On. the . Bth February, 1833, Wollason became a bank rupt, and the defendants, William Swan and Samuel Timmin g s, were appointed his assignees. The bill was filed by Mr. Barber and Messrs. Buddel against Messrs. Swan and Timmings as the assignees of Wollason, and against Samuel William Haynes, the petitioning creditor and solicitor under the commission, who claimed a lien on the property, upon an agreement for a conveyance, by way of mortgage, made to him by Wollasan on 18th September, 1832. The cause came on to be heard in July, 1838, and a decree was made for a specific performance, but the right of con veyance of the property being in question between Haynes and the assignees, it was ordered to be referred to the Master to inquire to whom the conveyance ought to be made, and on the 10th of February, 1841, the Master -reported that conveyance of the. propel ty ought to be made to Mr. Haynes. Two exceptions were taken to this report—first, that the Master ought to have found that the conveyance ought to be made to the assignees ; and secondly, that he ought not to have re ported that it ought to be made to Mr. Haynes. The Learned Gentleman said that under the circum stances of the case there was strong ground to pre sume that there never was any valid conveyance from Wol lason to Haynes ; and, moreover, that if there were Mr. Ilaynes had concealed it, notwithstanding many occa sions had occurred in which it was his duty to have brought forward his claim, and had permitted the as signees to lay out upwards of 1,0001. on the property in building without informing them of it, and, therefore, if the mortgage subsisted, it was not competent for him to set it up against their title ; and that if Haynes was en titled to a conveyance, it was to a conveyance by way of mortgage only, and that still a conveyance should be made to the assignees, subject to the mortgage to Mr. Haynes. Mr. RINDERSLEY, on behalf of Mr. Haynes, contended that his client was entitled to a conveyance of the fee simple and inheritance of the property, by way of mort gage, than which neither then, nor at any other time, had Mr. Haynes made any other claim. The bill al leged that Mr. Haynes had no claim at all,. and that the assignees were entitled to the conveyance of the pro perty, on the ground of the money they had laid mit upon it ; but, in their own state ment of facts, there was no suggestion that they had expended the money in ignorance that Mr. Haynes had a lien on the property; they only said that Mr. Haynes had not communicated it. The equity they attempted to set up was such as no one would. dis pute if it existed ; but there was nothing in the affi davit to show that they wore led into the expense they had incurred on the estate, without being aware of a charge upon it. The reason it did not appear in the balance-sheet of the bankrupt's accounts was, that it was not thought necessary to in clude that or the other liens on the estate. l_Tp to the moment at which the proceedings commenced Mr. Haynes had no reason to believe but that the as signees were perfectly well acquainted with his claim. It was stated that on one occasion Mr. Haynes stated it to Mr. Timmings, who said that it was of no effect, and that subsequently Mr. Haynes wrote, offering to submit the validity of his lien to arbitration. The money expended on the property by the assignee was not laid %nit until after they had received full notice of the lien ; and, there fore, if they, nevertheless, thought proper to expend money on the property, Mr. Haynes was en.titled to the benefit of it. He, therefore, asked of his Lordship to Overrule the exceptions, and when the case should come on for further directions to deal with it as he should think fit. Lord LA NG D A LE, after hearing Mr. Turner, in reply, said that it appeared to hint that the evidence before the Master on the part of the exceptants did not establish that distinct equity, by , virtue of which he could establish that a conveyance such as was sought ought not to be made to Haynes. He, therefore, thought he must overrule the objections, and decree that the conveyance must be made to Haynes, subject to being redeemed by the as siguees•. The only difficulty he might have on fur ther directions was one which he owned he might try to get over. He did not think that it was as clearly made out as he could desire, that the assignees had full and complete knowledge of this lien, though they had some knowledge, no doubt. lie should therefore try and so frame the decree, as to leave it opn to the assignees to try other means to esta blish their equity, if they should be so advised. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, Nov. 11. (Before Vice• Chancellor KNIGHT BaucE.) This being motion day, his Honour, on the sitting of the Court, disposed of a few, which were on the paper, and thou proceed to hear causes. SEARLE V. COLT AND OTHERS. The parties interested in the cause were the plaintiff, Edward Searle, the personal representative of a person named Andrew Searle, to whom the defendants Mr. and Mrs. Colt granted an annuity of 1221. per annum, charged upon certain freehold premises in Bushbury, in the county of Stafford. Sir John Dutton Colt was the sur viving trustee of the marriage settlement of Mr. and Mrs. Colt ; and in him the legal fee of the premises was vested, and Robert Abraham, the legal personal repre sentative of a subsequent grantee of an annuity which was charged on the same premises as the original an nuity, and also upon certain leasehold premises in the county of Herts. Both the plaintiffs Edward Searle, and the defendant, Robert Abraham, claimed representatively. Abraham had also vested in trust for him, as upon legacy, an old mortgage term for 500 years, which affected those freehold premises at Bush bury, and which term was created in June, 1749. The object of the bill filed in the cause was, in sub stance, to insist that the annuity granted to the in testate of the defendant Abraham was in effect void for want of proper enrolment, and to obtain for the plaintiff the benefit of 500 years, which term, either in whole or part, was vested in a person named Bevon, for the benefit of Mr. and Mrs. Colt. The plaintiff claimed the assignment of that term as a fur ther security for the payment of his annuity. The facts of the case were these. On the marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Colt in March, 1804, a marriage settlement was executed, by which the freehold premises at Bush bury were conveyed to two trustees, the survivor of whom was the defendant, Sir John Dutton Colt, upon trust during the life of Mrs. Colt, so as to rest the legal fee in those trustees to pay the yearly rents, profits, &c., of those premises to such person or persons, or for their use, as Mrs. Colt should from time to time direct, or for want of such directions then to pay the rents and profits to Mrs. Colt during her life to her separate interest. The legal fee in those premises, therefore, by that set tlement became vested in the trustees ; and long antecedent to the execution of that settlement the mortgage before-mentioned, for the term of 500 years, was created on those premises, and vested in trust for Abraham in the following way :—At the time of the assignment, there was due upon the mortgage of that term, a sum of 46,1 L, to a person named Smith, who, upon the occasion of granting the annuity to the de fendant Abrahams, intestate, assigned that term to I , evon upon trust, for the purpose of securing the annuity to Part of subject .to any trust for Colt and his wife. of Ab ra h ams ' cons id erat i on money f or th e purchase of the annuity went to pay the mortga g e to Smith. long antecedent to those transactions Mrs. Colt granted an annuity o f 19q. per annum to And life of M rs .

Searle, in w hose f a vour that annuity was granted, died in the year 1533, and it does not appear that any part of the annuity was paid since the year 1820. Scarce died intestate, and the present plaintiff had taken out an administration to his estate. It was upon that state of facts, the plaintiff founded his title. 'The arvuments in the cause had not been terminated when the Court rose, shortly before four o'clock. (Before Vice-Chancellor WIGRAM). His HONOUR was engaged this morning in h ear i ng motions, none of which presented any feature of public interest. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Nov. 11. BROOKE. V. JENNY AND OTHERS. This was an action of trespass, brought by Mr. Abra ham Brooke, a wine-merchant, residing at Wood b ri dge, In Suffolk, against the defendant, surveyor of highways for the parish of Hasketton, for having entere d a certai n field, his property, and cut and carried away certain trees and bushes. The case was tried before Mr. Justice Patteson, at the Suffolk Assizes, and a verdict had for the defendant. A rule for a new trial was now moved for, on the ground of the verdict being against the evidence, and of misdirection. It appeared that the plaintiff was the owner of a certain field adjoining the high road in the parish of Hasketton, which he leased to a person named Butcher, reserv ing the trees and bushes which grew on the road side. The defendants, as surveyors of high ways, laid an information before the Magistrates and summoned the plaintiff, and at the Sessions it was alleged that the trees and bushes overhung the road, obstructed the sun and wind, and thereby injured it. An order was made by the Magis trates on the 27th of November, 1839, directing the plaintiff to cut, prune, or plash the hedge, which it was alleged the plaintiff did in an improper way, and a man was employed by the defendants to do so, and it was while executing their orders that the alleged tres pass was committed. At the trial evidence of a very contradictory nature was given, the wit nesses for the plaintiff alleging that the hedge did not cause any damage or injury to the highway, while for the defendants it was said that the plaintiff bad suffered no injury by the manner in which the thorns, &c., had been cut and pruned. Mr. ANDREWS appeared to show cause against the rule. One of the objections of his Learned Friend was that the land in question was not in the possession of the plaintiff, but in the possession of his tenant, Butcher ; but if that were so the plaintiff could have shown before the Ma gistrates that he was not the owner, which he had failed to do. Another objection to the order of the Magistrates was that it should not have been given in the alternative, " to cut, prune, or plash," as the Act the sth and 6th Geo. IV. cap. 50, gave them no power to make an order in that form. A further ob jection was, that the order did not state the purpose for which the hedge was to be cut or pruned ; and that it did not state in express terms that the plaintiff was the owner of the land next adjoining the high road. Now, with respect to that objection, the order set out that the plaintiff was the owner of the land on the right-hand side of the highway ; and he had taken the trouble to refer to Johnson's Dictionary to ascertain the meaning of the word " side."—(Laughter.) The explanation given was, " border, verge," or " edge," which, he submitted, was a complete and pesfect description of the plaintiff's lend. Lord DENMAN did not think it was necessary for the Learn td Counsel to descend to such minute criticism— it restrd with the other side to show that the description was insufficient. Mr. ANDREWS would put an end to all the objections on that point by a reference to the 108th section of the Highways Act, which provided that the omission of matters of form should net vitiate the orders of Ma gistrates. A further objection to the order was,• that it did not set out any offence ; but he contended that the neglect to cut or prune his trees or bushes was an offence under the Highway Act. Now, with regard to the objection that the Magistrates had no power to give an order in the alternative, he sub mitted that it was for the benefit of the plaintiff that the order should be so given, inasmuch as he would adopt that mode which was likely to do least injury to his hedge. Lord DENMAN did not think that the Magistrates had acted improperly in giving-the order in that form, because until the surveyor went there and examined the obstruc tion, he could not tell what would be the best mode of removing it. The Learned Counsel concluded by submitting that the finding of the Jury was correct, and that there was no ground for disturbing the verdict. Mr. BYLES followed on the same side. Mr. KELLY was heard in support of the rule. It would certainly be a matter of much surprise and regret to him, if their Lordships should be of opinion that a surveyor proceeding under the Highway Act would be justified in destroying the property of one of the Queen's subjects in the manner that bad been shown in the pre sent case. He would remind the Learned Judge before whom the case was tried, that a portion of some of the trees was produced at the trial, and they were of a height and thickness which, in Coe eyes of any fair Jury would have at once put an end to the case. Their Lordships would be of opinion the ease must go down for a new trial, inasmuch as the verdict Was against the evidence given on both sides. He was satised that when he had called their attention to the terms of the Act of Parliament, and the defects in the order of the Justices, they would be of opinion that these proceedings could not be maintained. He was surprised at the argument of his Learned Friend, that because the plaintiff in the first instance sought to obey the order he acquiesced in what was done after wards. That was an argument which would have very little weight with the Court. He would now refer to the language of the-63th section, because upon it the whole question turned. Now the effect of the section was, that where a manager alleges before Justices that the owner of certain land or hedges next adjoining the highway had failed to cut it, and that the sun and wind were prevented from coming to the road, whereby it was injured, then the Justices might determine the question between the parties, and might make an order upon the owner of the land to cut and top his hedge in such manner as that the road should not be prejudiced. Then followed a proviso, that where the Justices made an order, and the owner of the land refused to obey it, then the surveyor himself may proceed to do the act. It was as clear as the lan guage of the Legislature could make it, that the power of the surveyor to cut these trees was conditional, and dependent upon the Justices having made such an order. Now, he thought he could show their Lordships very conclusively, that the parties never made such an order within the meaning of the Act of Parliament. Lord PENMAN thought the order was a sufficient pro tection to the surveyor. lie could not be supposed to examine with special pleading accuracy that the order was in the precise terms of the. Act of Parliament. It was only necessary that the thing should be substantially correct, and then the surveyor was bound undera penalty to do it. Mr. KELLY submitted that the real question was, whether the order was legal for not ?—and to answer that, they must look to the framing of the Act of Par liament. If the defendants in the present case had not complied with its provisions, the verdict could not be supported. Now, the order directed the surveyor to cut and prune these trees, but it did not state the object for which that act was to be performed, and that was an express contravention of the terms of the statute. The Learned Counsel having referred to the other points in the case, The COVET said it was impossible not to lathent that when the wording of the statute was so clear that it had not been adopted in the order of the Ma gistrates, and thereby have saved the very long argument that had taken place upon the question. The objection on that point appeared to the Court to be a good one, because when a party was called upon to exercise a discretion his attention should be called to the object for which that was to be done. On these grounds the Court was of opinion that the rule for a new trial must be made absolute. *JONES V. GURDON. This was an action for an assault and false imprison ment, brought against the defendant, a Magistrate of the county of Suffolk. The case was tried before Mr. Jus tice Patteson, and the plaintiff was nonsuited, with liberty to move for leave to enter a verdict for 101. Mr. ANDREWS now appeared to show cause against the rule. The facts of the case were as follows :—The plaintiff was brought before the defendant and the officer of Excise of the district on the 25th October, 1839, and charged with having on the 22d October, 1838, shot at a hare, without a game license, and thereby incurred a penalty of 201. It appeared that shortly after the alleged offence took place, the plaintiff left his home, and did not return for six or eight months afterwards, and that would account for the delay that had taken place in the com mitment. For the plaintiff it was alleged that the con viction not having taken place within three calendar months after the date of the offence, the "party could not be convicted in the penalty of 201. under the 52d George 111., c. 93, but that lie should hare been convicted undr another Act, the 43d George 111., which limited the pe nalty to 51. He submitted, however, that Mr. Gurdon had good defence to the action, because, where the Ma gistrate acted erroneously it was held that an action of trespass could not be maintained against him, but only an action upon the case, and even an action on the case could not be maintained unless it was averred and proved that the Magistrate had acted maliciously. Mr. BYLES followed on the same side. Mr. KELLY submitted that there was no legal authority for the proceedings taken in the present case, and that the Magistrate had no jurisdiction in the matter. By the Act the Magistrate was bound to issue a summons, and bring the party before him; but that had never been done —no" opportunity was given him of bringing forward his witnesses and meeting the case, and without any previous inquiry a warrant was issued for his apprehension. That warrant was not put in force for six months after his re turn home, and he submitted that there never was a grosser violation of all law than the apprehending the plaintiff under such circumstances, and sending him to prison for 38 days. Independently of the want of juris diction in one Magistrate to adjudicate upon an informa tion laid before another, he submitted that the conviction was a direct violation of the statute, which provided that it must be laid within three months after the offence had been committed. The COURT took time to consider its decision. was only the factor of Clapham ; that the money ad vanced to the latter was in the • nature of loan, to be repaid as the goods of the borrower happened to be sold fur him by the plaintiff--that the property never was in the plaintiff—and that the defendants, having the goods in their possession, hail a lien on them for freight and wharfage. The case was tried at Guild hall before the Lord Chief Justice, and the Jury found for the plaintiff in damages 5001. Mr. Sergeant Channell obtained a rule nisi to set aside the verdict, on the ground that the verdict was against evidence, inasmuch as it was proved that the property had not passed from the consigner to the plain tiff, there having been no bill of lading or other instru ment by which it could appear that the goods were con signed for plaintiff's own use. Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD showed cause against the rule, and Mr. Sergeant CHANNEL replied at great length. Their Lounsiares, after a brief consultation, discharged the rule. THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 120841. compromise for 10s. per pound was entered into with his other creditors, but the defendant refused to come in. The father-in-law of the plaintiff thinking it would prove his son's ruin, gave the defendant 551. I 9s. Bd. to induce him to sign the deed of composition. This was clone without the knowledge of the plaintiff. As soon as he became aware of it he brought his action for the recovery of the excess. It was tried before Lord Abinger, who nonsuited the plaintiff. Mr. Erie had obtained a rule nisi to enter a verdict for the plaintiff, or for a new trial, cause against which was now shown by Mr. TEESIGER, who contended that as the father-in-law had paid the money voluntarily, as there was no pressure upon him, he could not maintain an action for its recovery; and as he could not give the plaintiff a title which he had not himself, the nonsuit was right. The Learned Gentleman cited many cases in support of his view of the case, and also to show that the transaction having been concluded, no action was maintainable. He admitted that had the defendant been seen seeking to enforce an agreement which was clearly in fraud of the other creditors, he could not have recovered, as its illegality would have been a good defence. Mr. ERLE and Mr. BRAMWELL appeared in support of the rule, and contended that a fraudulent preference was in itself illegal, even although the money was not that of the debtor. As the defendant could not enforce any such an illegal agreement, could he do so indirectly by circulating the bills given him for such preference ? The COURT ,were of opinion that there should be a further inquiry, because no evidence had been given of the payment of the bills. Neither did it appear that they were in the hands of third parties, when they were paid. They would therefore make the rule for a new trial absolute, the costs to abide the event. BAIL COURT, Nov. 11. WALKER V. THELUSSON. In this case a rule nisi had been obtained to set aside the ca sa, on which the defendant was in custody, on the ground that at the time it was sued out the plaintiff was an outlaw. Mr. THESIGER this morning showed cause against the rule, and contended, that as the defendant himself was an outlaw he had no right to come to the Court for relief. Mr. CRESWELL contended, in support of the rule, that the whole proceeding being irregular, must be set aside, and that although an outlaw could not set in motion a process of the Court for his own benefit, yet he could apply to the Court for relief in a case like the present, in which he was wrongfully kept in custody. Mr. MARTIN followed on the same side. Mr. Justice W IGHTMAN said there was a marked dis tinction between an an outlaw seeking to take advantage of the process of the Court for his own benefit, and his applying to the Court for relief from wrong. All the authorities were in favour of such an interference of the Court, and therefore the rule must be made absolute.—. Rule absolute. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Nov. 11. EVAXS V. NICHOLL. The plaintiff in this case is a wholesale d r uggist in London, an d t h e d efendants are wharfingers an d ship owners. The action was brought (in assumpsit) to re cover the value of a quantity of alkali, consigned to the plaintiff from H u ll, b y a manufacturer of that article, named Clapham, and detained by the defendants for previous debt on ac count o f freight and wharfage owing to them by Clapham, who had in the meantime become bankrupt. The case for the plaintiff was, that he had paid for the goods in advance, having advanced con siderable sums of money to the bankrupt, above the value of the cargo in question, as the pre ptr se of the drug as it s h ould be manufacture d. Fortchathe defendant it was set up that the plaintiff ALEXANDER V. BURCHFIELD. This was an action brought to recover the sum of 90/., the amount of a cheque upon the bank of Young and Co., given by the defendant in payment for two horses bought by him from the plaintiff at an auction in the " Repository," Barbican. The sale took place on the 10th of March, and on the morning of the 12th, shortly before the cheque 'was presented, the bank stopped pay ment. The defence wa:, that the cheque had not been presented within a reasonable time ; the plaintiff's case being that he took the cheque w!th the un derstanding that, as it was too late for presentation that day, he should cross it to his own banker, and hold the defendant liable. Conflicting evidence as to the hour when the cheque was given to the plaintiff, and as to the conversation which then took place between the parties, having been adduced at the trial, the Jury found for the defendant. Sir T. Wilde obtained a rule nisi for a new trial, chiefly on the ground of surprise, alleging that if he had known the defence which was to be set up, he should have been prepared to rebut it, and to prove more completely the lateness of the hour when the sale took place. Mr. Sergeant CHANNEL!. this day showed cause against the rule ; and after hearing Sir T. Wilde in reply, Their LORDSHIPS said it was a very important case to the mercantile world, and they would take time to con sider their judgment. . CON SIS TORY COURT, Nov. 10. SCALE AGAINST VELEY AND JOSLIN. The QUEEN'S ADVOCATE stated, that the church of the parish of Braintree, Essex, being in a dilapidated state, and the Churchwardens having no funds to effect the repairs, and a rate for that purpose having been several times refused by the parishioners, a suit was commenced in this Court by the Rev. Bernard Scale, the Vicar, against Messrs. Veley and Joslin, the Church wardens, and the parishioners in general, and the Court issued a decree, citing the churchwardens and pa rishioners to appear and show cause why a monition should not issue against the Churchwardens to take the necessary steps for putting the parish church into re pair, and for providing necessaries for the decent celebration of Divine service, and to call a vestry, at a time and place specified, for making a church rate for the current year ; ,and against the parishioners, to meet and make a rate. The Churchwardens ap peared to the decree, and alleged that they were ready and willing to submit themselves to the lawful orders or commands of the Court ; and, the parishioners not appearing, the Court decreed a monition agreeably to the tenour of the decree. On the Bth of September, the Proctor for the Churchwardens alleged that his par ties had, in obedience to the monition, convened a vestry meeting at the time and place mentioned therein, and that they had, together with the vicar and certain other parishioners, made a rate of 2s. in the pound, but cer tain other parishioners then and there present had re fused to join in making such rate, or to make any rate. 'rule meeting first assembled in the Vestry-room, but, being numerously attended, it was adjourned to the body of the church, the Vicar being in the chair. Immedi ately after the adjournment the Churchwardens produced a survey and estimate of the repairs necessary to be im mediately done to the church. and of other expenses ab solutely and indispensably requisite, amounting in the whole. to 733 E The necessity of the repairs was not disputed, nor was any objection made to the amount of the estimates. Mr. - taley, one of the Church wardens, then proposed a rate of two shillings in the pound, which was seconded by a parishioner ; where upon an amendment was moved by Samuel Courtauld, and seconded by Edward George Craig, two parishioners, to the following effect :—" That all compulsory payments for the support of the religious services of any sect or people, appear to the majority of this vestry to be unsanctioned by any portion of the New Testament Sctiptures, and altogether opposed to, and subversive of, the pure and spiritual character of the re ligion of Christ ; but that for any one religious sect to compel others, which disapprove their form of worship or system of church government, or which dissent from their religious principles and creeds, to, nevertheless, submit to support and , extend them, appears to this vestry to be a yet more obvious invasion of religious freedom, and violation of the rights of conscience, while also it appears to be a gross injustice to Dissenters, as citizens, to compel them to pay for the religious ser vices of others, in which they have no part, while they build their own chapels, support their own Ministers, and defray the charges of their own worship ; that- compulsory Church-rates, and more especially such rates upon Dissenters, thus appearing to be, as a tax unjust, and as an ecclesiatical imposition adverse to religious liberty, and contrary to the spirit of Christianity, this vestry feels bound by the highest ob ligations of social justice and of religious principles, to refuse to make a rate, and does refuse accordingly." Upon a show of hands a great majority was in favour of this amendment, which was declared by the chairman to be carried; no person demanding a poll ; and no other motion was made. The majority of the Vestry having thus refused to make a rate, as required by the monition of this Court ; the Church Wardens and certain monition,a majority of the meeting, and in discharge of the the parish by th e l aw a nd custom oinb other lgbae td r i io a en t n e c - ce p a a s t 3 t ; oen not of the realm, did, at the meeting, and while the the Vicar, the Church e. The Learned Queen's pa rishioners continued in vestry , make a rate of 2 s. in the signed ep ay by rs pound, r Church wardens, e s whichand v other as rate-payers. Advocate, on affidavits of these facts, moved the Court to decree all the parishioners of Braintree to be cited to appear, and show cause why the said rate, made on the 15th of July, in obedience to the monition, should not be confirmed. The rate had bean made in this man ner in consequence of a suggestion from a high quarter, the Court of Exchequer, in the case of " Burder v. Veley and Joslin." Dr. LUSHINGTON—The point was not decided. The QUEEN'S ADVOCATE—No ; therefore it becomes necessary to cite the parishioners to show cause why the rate should not be confirmed. It is laid down by PH &aux and other authorities, that, rightly and properly, all Church•rates should be confirmed, and it was re commended by Sir John Nichol], in the Stanmore case, as the proper mode of proceeding, to take out a monition against the parish. Dr. LUSIIINGTON—I have followed hitherto exactly the steps taken by Sir Herbert Jenner, in the Head come case (on the 22d of April), and I should be pre pared to continue to do so ; but I find that that case :tends still. The PROCTOR for the party proceeding in the present case (as well as in the lleadcorne case) said, that in that case, the rate due from none of the parties who had refused payment amounted to 101. ; consequently, it was necessary to summon them before a Magistrate ; that the Churchwardens,being afraid to incur expenses which might fall upon themselves, had declined to go on with the suit. The Judge had, therefore, struck the case out of the book. In this case the Churchwardens were going on with the suit. Dr. LUSHINGTON—The difficulty I have is this-4 am afraid that we are going to complicate a matter extremely difficult per se. In the first place, lam not aware of there being any precedent in modern times. I apprehend, with Sir John Nicholl, that whether a rate be confirmed or not, you have a tight to sue for it in these Courts. In this case there are these two points :—Suppose the decree to issue, and be returned, and there be no appear ance, whether the confirmation would produce the effect of closing all objections to the rate ; secondly, whether I can confirm the rate under the circumstances. Now I am ready to confirm the rate instanter, and then you may sue for it ; and then will come the question, which must come sooner or later, whether a rate made by a minority is good or not. I shall confirm the rate without hesita tion, but I shall consider the whole question hereafter, for I entertain considerable doubt whether, by issuing a decree at: this time, .I could include the whole body of the parishioners. The Court, accordingly, confirmed the rate, the heading of which did not set forth that it was made by-the minority. COURT OF EXCHEQUER' Nov. 11. THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. MOULTNETT. In this case Mr. Erle bad obtained a rule nisi for a new trial, and the late Attorney-General (Sir Thomas Wilde) had obtained a cross rule nisi for the production of certain books. On its being called on this morning, The ATTORNEY-GENERAL (with whom was Sir Thos. Wilde) said he was happy to inform the Court that upon eonversation with his Learned Friend they would be spared a long argument, as they had agreed that both rules should be discharged. Rules diaoharged accordingly. TAYLOR V. ALTAREZ. Mr. C. JONES moved to set aside a verdict for the de fendant which was found at the trial before the Secondary of London. The plaintiff had been a sailor in the ser vice of the Portuguese Government, and brought his ac tion against the defendant for 191. due to him as prize money. The defendant was an agent of the Portuguese Government. The plaintiff's attorney called upon him, and he said, if the papers were left with him they would b e exam i ne d, and if fourid correct the money would be paid. The p a p ers were left with him, and aft er t wo or t hroe calls the defen dant said they were all r i g ht, an d if t h e plaintiff called him self he would p a y hi m . Th e p l a intiff called, but pay ment was refused. He (Mr. Jones) contended that the promise to pay was sufficient to show that the defendant had received the money for the plaintiff, and was enough to bind him. The defence set up was that the defendant was not the prize agent—that that office was filled by a Mr. Waring. Now the evidence showed that although Waring held hiMself out to be agent for prize money, he was poksessed of no funds ; that in fact be acted as clerk to the defendant, to whom the whole of the funds for the payment of prize money was entrust ed b y M. Mendi zabal, and was the on l y respon sible party. He sub mitted that his promi se to pay b o und him. The COURT thought th e ve rdict was perfectly right. The action had been brought against the wrong party.— Rule refused. BRADBIIAw v. lIRAD BHAW. This was an action brought to recover 55/. 19s. Bd., An excess of composition paid to the defendant. The plain tiff was insolvent, bein g indebted to the defendant. A BILL AND ANOTHER V. BAMENT. This was an action tried before the Lord Chief Baron, when the verdict was found for the plaintiff. Mr. Erie had obtained a rule calling upon the plaintiff to show cause why the verdict should not be set aside and a non suit entered. Cause against that rule was to-day shown by Mr. THE SIGER and Mr. MARTIN. The plaintiffs are brushmakers, Who received a large order for some of their goods for the defendant, through an agent named Harvey. The goods were sent to Harvey, who delivered them over to the de fendant. The question in the cause was, whether there had been a legal acceptance of the goods by the defend ant, and whether the contract was not void by the Statute of Frauds, inasmuch as there was no contract in writing, the sum being much above 101. They insisted that Har vey was a del credere agent, and the action maintainable. Mr. ERLE and Mr. VITATELEY (contra) contended that the hairbrushes were repudiated by the defendant ; and although some of the other articles were accepted, that would not make an acceptance of the whole. Har vey was the agent of the plaintiffs. There was, then, nothing in the case but a verbal order, which was void by the 4th section of the Statute of Frauds. The COURT were of opinion that the rule must be made absolute. There was no doubt some evidence to go to the Jury of acceptance, but very little. The pecu liarity of this case was that Harvey was the agent of the plaintiff, and sold the goods for cash, and it was his duty not to part with the goods without the money. The de fendant could not claim the goods without the money; therefore there had been no full acceptance such as to take the case out of the statute. No delivery had been proved ; there was no evidence of a change of possession in the goods; therefore the rule for a nonsuit must be made absolute. On the application of Mr. THESIGER, The COURT ordered a rule for a new trial to issue, the defendant paying the costs of the former trial. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Nov. 10. SMITH AND MARSHALL'S BANK EUPTCY-THE LATE TALLOW SPECULATIONS. In this case the sitting was for the choice of assignees, and proof of debts against the joint and separate estates of these bankrupts, described as Russia brokers, of Austinfriars. There was a large attendance of creditors present. Mr. MAYNARD, who appeared for the petitioning cre ditor, said there was a number of creditors who sought to prove upon contracts, the relative positiOn of some of which materially differed from others. lle proposed to submit them in regular order to the Court for its de cision. The first was that of Messrs. Raleigh and Co., for 4,3451., which showed a guarantee on the face of it made by the bankrupts for John Marshall and Sons, in favour of the claimants, and which was signed in the re gular way. The custom of business at the Baltic Coffee house was, he was given to understand, to hold the broker liable for all contracts made, whether a guarantee was given or not. With respect to that, however, he thought in all probability the Court would differ, when the circumstances of these particular cases eame before it. In the case of Messrs. Raleigh the guarantee was fully stated, with the consideration paid—namely, a sovereign. Mr. Commissioner FANE said, he could not refuse the proof if no objection was raised. It appeared to him all regular enough. Mr. MAYNARD could see no objection to the proof. He had mentioned it to bring the proofs in regular order before the Court. Mr. R. Thornton, a creditor, wished an examination of the bankrupts, to prove the actual passing of the con sideration stated. In a case some time ago before one of the Commissioners, and in which he was a heavy suf ferer, all proofs of this sort were disallowed if it was not shown that the consideration had passed. Mr. Marshall (one of the bankrupts) was examined on this point. lie could not swear that he received the con sideration. He usually received it, and made a memo randum of it, but for this contract he could find no entry of the receipt of the sovereign. Mr. Commissioner FANE was open to argument on the subject, and would readily hear all that had to be said. Mr. MAYNARD did not apprehend that the non-pay ment of the consideration made a material difference, for if it h'ad not been paid it was still owing, and was re coverable by rate of action. In the case of policies of insurance it was well known the underwriters made the premium received, whereas, in fact, they did not receive it till the arrival of the vessel. Mr. HUBBARD (who at this stage of the proceelings entered the Court) said he at the next meeting should have a number of heavy proofs to put forward on the strength of a guarantee without consideration. He hoped, therefore, in the present discussion his case would not be prejudged before he had had the opportunity of supporting it. Mr. MAYNARD said he had purposely abstained from involving the cases in one common discussion, with the view to let each stand upon its respective merits. He then referred to the 4th section of the Statute of Frauds, for the principle of guarantees, and for which he con tended that as long as the consideration was stated it was sufficient to bind the parties making the contract. Mr. Commissioner FANE was understood to say that that was his present impression. In these cases it seemed that the guarantee was given on the payment of the no minal sum of one sovereign for the increase of business. The principle that Lord Ellenborongh had laid down for guarantees they had modified to the shortest, and, what appeared to hint, the best method, for the convenience of their trade. After further discussion, in which it appeared that Mr. Maynard was not quite prepared to go fully into the whole of the proofs, the consideration of them was further adjourned, the Commissioner stating that it would be useless to go into one or two before him now, as he should not sit again for some time. The better plan, he said, would be to take the whole of these proofs before the Commissioner, who would on the next occa sion take the cases, and then argue them seriatim. They then could all be disposed of at one sitting.' Or, if the creditors throught proper, a day could be set apart for their consideration. As the creditors all agreed with the suggestion, a (lay, it was understood, will be named for the disposal of these proofs. Tho debts admitted at this sitting amounted to 21,800/. and the assignees chosen were Mr. Richard Thornton and Mr. Charles. SHERIFFS' COURT, Nov. 1:. The whole of the actions tried were undefended, and the Court adjourned at 12 o'clock. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. Anne Finden, alias Creasy, alias Payne, the young woman who was charged on Friday last with swindling a great number of coffee-house and tavern-keepers, a re port of which investigation appeared in The Sun of that day, was again placed at the bar before Sir F. Laurie, for re-examination. _ _ Sir P. LAURIE inquired of Mr. Clarke, one of those whom the prisoner had victimised by her specious repre sentations, whether he had any further evidence to offer? Mr. Clarke replied that he had not. Sir P. Lamm said he was sorry that he could not deal with the prisoner as a felon. One good, however, would result from this investigation, namely, the publi city given to the facts by the press, which, he entertained little doubt, would effectually prevent the success of her future schemes. . _ The prisoner is low in stature, with hard features, and speaks with great fluency and volubility. Her man ners are rather lady-like. After soundly rating several of the simple persons whom she had deceived, she walked from the bar with an air of injured and dignified inn°• cence, saying they were "quite mistaken" as to her real character and position in society. An interesting and modest-looking girl, about 16 years of age, was charged with attempting suicide. In reply . to Sir Peter Laurie, she stated that yesterday evening she was induced to enter a house of an improper character with a gentlemanly-looking person, but whose name she was unacquainted with, but when she found what description of place she was in, she endeavoured to escape, but he used violence to detain her, and other. wise brutally ill.treated her, until her cries brought the owner of the house to her assistance, when the police were called, but the ruffian got off. She was afraid to return to her parents, and consequently meditated sui cide. She refused to give the slightest information as to her name or connections. Sir P. LAURIE desired the constable to try and find out her residence, and remanded her to the Compter in the meantime. QUEEN-SQUARE. Robert Smith, a man about forty years of age, whose appearance and manner evinced his havinc , seen better days, was ch arge d w i t h h av i ng a tt em pt e d' to break a lamp in the street. police-constable of the B division proved that he saw defendant at eleven the previous night throw two oyster shells at a gas lamp in Sloane-street. Ile took de fendant into custody, when the latter admitted that he had tried to break the lamp in order to be sent to prison. Mr. BURRELL asked defendant what he had to say to the charge ? Defendant—l did endeavour to break the lamp in order that I might be sent to prison. I have no roof, no home, no food, no shelter ; nor have I the means of procuring any. Mr. BURRELL—Where is your parish ? Defendant —I came from the neighbourhood of Dorking, Surrey, but I decline mentioning the name of the parish. Mr. I3URRELL—Where have you been hying recently you surely must have some relations or friends ? De fendant (despondingly)—l have plenty of relatives, but, alas! no friends. I failed as a gardener in Kent, and came to London, where I fell into deep distress. I can not beg, and never yet have stolen. Mr. BunnELL observed that he could not commit the defendant to prison, as he had committed no offence. He was, therefore, discharged. The defendant declared that he must commit an of fence for which he would be sent to prison, as it was the only refuge left to him. A REPENTANT SlNNER.—Margaret Dodds, a young woman about 23 years of age, was charged with at tempting to drown herself at Westminster-bridge, as also to - strangle herself in the station-house. Policeman 126 B proved that at an early hour that morning he found the prisoner on Westminster-bridge. She was crying, and appeared to be in so low a state of spirits that he watched her narrowly. In a few minutes she ran down the steps towards the water. He ran after her, and caugnt her at the water's edge. The prisoner implored him to let her go and do as she wished, for she was tired of life, and had nothing to live longer for. Ho then took her to the station-house. Policeman 188 B said he had charge of the cells, and about half an hour after prisoner had been locked up he went to look at her, and found her lying senseless on the floor, her cap and bonnet strings were tied tightly round her throat, and her face was black ; he cut the strings, and the prisoner, after some time had elapsed, was re stored to a state of consciousness. Mr. BURRELL asked the prisoner if she had any rela tions ? The prisoner said she had a sister married to a eoachmaker, at Norwich ; she was respectable, but as for herself she was an unfortunate woman. Mr. BURRELL—W hatever troubles you may have, you must not be allowed to commit the crime of self destruction. I shall hold you to bail. Prisoner—Oh take me from the life I've been leading. Send me to some asylum. I'll do any thing rather than again lead such a horrid life. Mr. BunRELL—I am glad to hear you say that ; you are desirous of again becoming a respectable member of society. You will go to prison for the present, and something shall be done for you. The prisoner fervently thanked the Magistrate as she left the bar. LAMBETH-STREET. On Wednesday Win. Virtue, who stood remanded since Monday last, was placed at the bar for final examination on a charge of stealing a telescope, of the value of 31., from the Ordnance Map-office in the Tower, during the fire in that fortress on the morning of Sunday week. It appeared from the evidence adduced that the pri soner had been employed during the fire in carrying maps, &c., from the Ordnance•office. The telescope in question was identified by its owner, Mr. Baker, an engraver employed in the Ordnance Department, as his property, and was left by him safe on leaving the Tower on the Saturday on which the calamity happened. A pawnbroker produced the telescope, and proved that it was pawned by the prisoner. By other witnesses the prisoner was identified as hav ing been active at the fire, and as having partaken of the refreshments ordered for the men who had been so employed. Mr. Gunner, the master of the prisoner, gave him an excellent character, and said he had been frequently in trusted with the most valuable stores belonging to her Majesty, and other property of a very costly description, and he had always considered him, for the twelvemonths he had been in his employment, an excellent servant. A constable belonging to the Tower, and who had been on duty at the Spur-gate on the morning of the fire, to examine persons going out, said he was confident the prisoner, whom he knew very well, had not passed through on the morning in question, but he did not wish to be sworn to the fact. A gentleman from the office of the Solicitor to the Ordnance, who was present, said the case had been laid before the Buard of Ordnance, and the Board had deter mined on prosecuting the prisoner. Ile had, th.refore, to request that the prisoner might be committed for trial on the evidence at present adduced against him. Mr. HENRY committed him, and the witnesses were bound over to prosecute. UNION-HALL. On Wednesday William Johnson, clerk to Mr. Gilham, solicitor, of Symond's Inn, applied for a warrant against Mr. Jones, a Conveyancer, and three other persons, in mates of the Queen's Bench, for " pumping" on him in that prison, The applicant stated, that on the preceding day he went to the Queen's Bencn Prison for the purpose of ex ecuting a process against Mr. Jones, at the suit of his (applicant's) employer. On meeting Mr. Jones in the lobby applicant exhibited the writ to that individual, who refused to notice it, and at the same time seized him by the collar and shook him most unmercifully. Applicant resisted, but his assailant being the more powerful man thrust him down the stairs, calling out, "Hurrah . for the pump," by which he soon collected a crowd, and applicant was dragged along to the large pump which stands in the yard. The person against whom he made the application then offered a sum of money to any person who would " pump" upon appli cant, who was held by his assailant under the spout of the pump while three men took the handle and pumped upon him with all their strength until he was drenched from top to toe. When they saw he was soused with water they desisted from further violence, and he was suffered to leave the prison. The applicant added, that the Aject of the present application was to obtain a warrant against the parties, in order to lodge a detainer against them, as he was determined on preferring bills of indictment against them at the ensuing Surrey Sessions. The Magistrate granted the application. LLOYDS' SHIPPING LONDON, NON:. 11.—Wind at noon, variable and light. PLYMOUTH, Nov.lo. Wind N.N.W.—Arrd.
