The Loan CHANCELLOR gave judgment this morning in this case, which came before him upon appeal from the de cision of the Vice Chancellor, who bad ordered the trus tees under the marriage settlement of Mrs. Begot to pay the costs of the action, in consequence of the course they had pursued in aiding the different proceedings of the hus band in retaining from the wife the proceeds of certain timber cut upon the estates, which were her property pre vious to her marriage. His Lordship was of opinion the decision of the Vice Chancellor was correct, and dismissed the appeal with costs. WALLWORTH V. HALL. His LORDSHIP gave judgment in this case, which also came before hint upon appeal from the judgment of the Vice-Chancellor, allowing a demurrer put in by the de fendant to the plaintiff's bill. The plaintiffs were some of the Shareholders of a Company called the Imperial Bask of England, the business of which had been sus pended since 1839, and lir.d paid all the calls made upon them, and the defendants were shareholders who had not paid their calls. Although the business had been sus pended the partnership had not been dissolved. All the Directors were bankrupt but one; large debts were due by the Company, and there were also considerable assets, and the object of the bill was to render jointly liable for the debts of the Company those parties who had not paid their calls with those who had. To this bill the demurrer was put in, which the Vice-Chancellor allowed. The Lord Chancellor disagreed with the Court below, and ordered the demurrer to be overruled, and gale the d, Ludants time to answer. therefore brought against the insurers for the total loss, and the damages were laid at 2,0001. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL now moved for a rule to set aside the verdict for the defendant, and enter one for the plaintiff, on the ground of misdirection, the Learned Judge having put the issue to the Jury in the English kw instead of the French, by which, recording to the express terms of the policy, the assurers were bound. Mr. Serjeant STIEA, on the other side, was allowrd to move at the same time for a rule to enter a verdict for the defendant upon the issue found (of partial loss) for the plaintiff. This counter motion was also grounded on the tnisdirection of the Judge in that part of the case. The COURT considered the case intricate es well as im portant, and would look over the documents before the ar gument comes on, SHREWSBURY P. BLUNT AND OTHERS. Mr. Sergeant HALCOMBE moved for a new trial in this ease. which was an action of tort, brought against the Directors of the Wheal Brothers Mining Company, to re cover the amount of shares which the plaintiff was induced to purchase in that concern, by the alleged fraudulent re presentations of the defendants. The jury found for the defendants, and the Learned Sergeant contended that this verdict was against the ev id ence , which, he said, had clearly established the charge of false and fraudulent representa tion on the part of two defendants, Blount and Harrison. Although the other Directors were not aware of the false hood of the r: presentations by which the plaintiff and the public were imposed on, they were liable for the damages, inasmuch as they gave their sanction and authority to those statements. The COURT were of opinion that the Judge, Mr. Justice Erskine, had rightly put it to the Jury to say whether the evidence was sufficient, that the defendants knew nt the time when they published their prospectus, that the mine was worthh•s. IF they were not, they were entitled to a ver dict according to the decision in the great Scotch case of H:y cro ft v. Creesy. The Court would give no opinion on the point of law, as to the responsibility of the Direc tors For the truth of their representations, because the cries tion had been put to , theJltrA.,whetile . r,6e plaintiff had been induced to buy shares in A u gu s t i 836; in conse quence of the representations made by the defendants in the April before ; and the Jury had found in the negative. Nor did there seem to be any reason for impugning that verdict, for it was plain that the decline of the price at the time when the plaintiff pnrchased, was sufficient to inform him that the golden promises of the prospectus had not been realized. Their Lordships therefore refused the rule. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. Inspector M 'Lean stated that he waited upon his Lord. ship et the desire of the City Police Commissioner, to mention that, notwithstanding tho notice which had some days ago been sent round to all the inhabitants of the City to keep the pavement opposite to their doors properly scraped and swept, some of the great establishments to tally neglected to pay attention to the direction, although sanctioned by an Act of Parliament. He particularly al luded to the Bank of England, the London Dock Honsf., and several buildings in the immediate vicinity of the Mansion House. The Commissioner also ordered him to mention that London Bridge was both as to the pavement and the carriage way in the most filthy, and almost im passable, condition, although it was understood that men rceeivedweekly salaries for keeping, or pretending to keep, it clean. The LORD MAYOR.—I ordered a notice to be put up, directed to the inhabitants, and stating the necessity for observing the rule. lam surprised that it has not been observed, particularly with respect to the Bank of F,ng. land, to which such multitudes now flock daily on account of the payment of dividends. Inspector M'Lean said that the notice which the City Commissioner had sent round was as follows: " City Police-office, Guildhall, Jan. 9, 1841. " Tho Commissioner feels it to be his duty to call the att-ntion of the inhabitant householders within the City and its liberties, to the following provision in the City Police Act ; and also to apprise them, that the officers and constables of the force have received strict orders to sum mon all persons who shall be found offending in this respect. " Every occupier of a house, or other tenement, who shall not keep sufficiently swept and cleansed all footways and water-courses adjoining to the premises occupied by him, shall be liable to a penalty of forty shillings ; and if any tenement be empty or unoccupied the owner thereof shall bc deemed the occupier with reference to this enact ment." The Loan MAYOR directed the Inspector to go at once to the owners of the premiss complained of, and state that the police had been obliged to make complaint to the Chief Magistrate on the subject, and to request that in future due attention should be paid to the Act, the violation of which he was sorry to have attributed to establishments which were supposed to be inclined to do everything for the public convenience. The Inspector accordingly waited upon some persona in authority at the establishments particularly alluded to, and upon his return to the Justice-room, informed his Lordship that peremptory directions had been issued to attend to the Act of Parliament by the gentlemen to whom he had de livered his Lordship's message, and that at an early hour every morning the • pavement • should be scraped an,l ch.-nt.sed. 11. also stated tb3t the Comptroller of ths. Widge House had-sent additional scrapers and sweepers to London-bridge. Two young fellows, named Baker and Andrews. were brought up in the custody of Daniel Forrester, the ofliaor, charged with having been on the watch to plunder people who came out of the Bank with their dividends. Forrester said that he saw Baker, whom he knew to he 1 a pickpocket, " give the office" (a certain signal) to An drews and another lad, and immediately follow a lady who came out of the B ink down Bartholomew-lane, which was so narrow, on accoant of the shoring up for the R gal Exchange, as to affird great opportunities for thieves. The two who were with Baker pressed close upon the lady, in order to give him the power of robbing her, when witness seized the prisoners. The other got away. The Loan MAIOR —You have no doubt that their in tention was to rob her? Forrester—Not the least doubt of it. My eye was fixed on their motions, the meaning of which was very plain to me. Had Baker seen me, h., would have run away. The Loan MAYOR—WeII, Baker, what have you to say? Baker—Nothing at all, but that I was taking a walk in the City. As for this gentleman (Andrews), lam sire I never saw his face afore. Andrews—Never, my Lord. I don't know Mr. Baker, if that's the gentleman's name, at all. The Lofty MAYOR—Be so good as to tell me who you Andrews—Who lam ? Why I comes up to town from Bath on a visit to London, and I just walked up to see what the people was about when I was took into custody. I'm sure I never expected such a thing. One of the officers stated that he had observed Andrews in the company of thieves frequently. The LORD Miami committed both prisoners to Bride • well for two months, for having been in the neighbourhood of the klaiik with intent to steal. Sam Scott, the American diver, was the son of a carpenter in Newtonbarry, near Belfast. Scott, the father, who, we believe, is now alive, was concerned in the Irish rebellion of 1798. He, in consequence, emigrated to the United States, and settled in Philadelphia, where the late unfortunate individual was born. It must be re marked that Scott was perfectly sober when the sad acci dent that terminated his life occurred. He was in the ha bitual custom of saying that he was not born to be drowned. His fate fulfilled his prediction. When a boy (1821) he fell by accident from the main royal yard of an American line-of-battle ship, in New York harbour. His escape upon this occasion seems to have implanted in his mind a taste for those adventurous exploits that hare made him so sadly celebrated in this country. It is understood that the police have received distinct instructions to prevent all such exhibitions hereafter. Scott was always a great favourite with his shipmates, and upon many occasions has been in strumental in saving human life. Upon one, being by ac cident on board of an Indiaman in the Bay of Biscay, he having come from an American vessel in distress for provi sions, saved the life of a child, about three years of age, daughter of a distinguished military officer, now a General in the British army, who, it is said, assisted him by frequent donr:tions of money up to the time of his death. THE " WAITER."—He attributes all virtues to every body, provided they are civil and liberal ; and of the existence of some vices he has no notion. Gluttony, for instance, with him, is not only inconceivable, but looks very like a virtue. He sees in it only so many more " beefs," and a generous scorn of the bill. As to wine, or almost any other liquor, it is out of your power to astonish him with the quantity you call for. His " Yes, Sir," is as swift, indifferent, and official, at the fifth bottle as at the first. Reform and other public events he looks upon purely as things in the newspaper, and the news paper as a thing taken in at taverns for gentlemen to read. His own reading is confined to " acci. dents and offal - ices," and the advertisements for butlers, which latter he peruses with an admiring fear, not choosing to give up a " certainty." When young he was always in a burry, and exasperated his mistress by running against the other waiters, and breaking the " neguscs." As he gets older he learns to unite swiftness with caution ; declines wasting his breath in immediate answers to calls ; and kndws, with a slight turn of his face, and elevation of his voice into what precise corner of the room to pitch his " Coming, Sir." If you told him that, in Shakspere's time, waiters said " Anon, anon, Sir," he would be astonished at the repetition of the same word in one answer, and at the use of three words in. stead of two ; and ho would justly infer that London couli not have been so large, nor the chop-house so busy in those days. He would drop one of the two syllables of his " Yes, Sir," if he could ; but business and civility will not allow it ; and therefore ho does what he can by running them together in the swift sufficiency of his " Yezzir." " Thomas ?" " Yezzir." "Is my steak coming ?" Yezzir." " And the pint of Port ?" " Yezzir." " You'll not forget the postman ?" " Yezzir." For in the habit of his acquiescence, Thomas not seldom says, " Yes, Sir," for " No. Sir," the habit itself rendering him intelligible.—Leigh Hunt. ALL IN GOOD TIME.—A curious circumstance occurred at Lewis Sessions last week. The Grand Jury had ignored the bills preferred against two prisoners, which being by some means overlooked, the men were placed at the bar, where they pleaded guilty. The Chairman was just on the point of passing sentence on them, when the error was discovered, and they were discharged. CHILDREN BURNT TO DEATll.—During the past year the number of children (under the ageofT . - years) burnt to death in the City and Southwark was 5 PRICE sd. LIVERPOOL ANTI-CORN-LA W ASSOCIATION. LIVERPOOL, THURSDAY MORNING. Last evening a numerously attended meeting of the members of this Association was held in the Music Hail, for the purpose of petitioning the Legislature for a total and immediate repeal of the Corn-laws ; and also to consider the propriety of presenting an address to the Liberal electors of Walsall, in favour of Mr. 3. 13. Smith, the Anti-Corn-law candidate for the representa tion of that borough. Sir JOSHUA WALMSLEY was called to the chair, and after a few preliminary remarks, he said that he consi dered this was a question totally independent of party politics. Before he proceeded to the general question, he would state that the Liberal candidate for Vs slsall was an uncompromising advocate for free trade. He lied known him for many years. He was a retired mer chant. and perfectly conversant with mercantile affairs. For many years he had devoted his time, talents, and money to the promotion of the best interests of his fellow-men, without reference to self-interest. Such was the man whom they would be called upon to recommend to the electors of 'Walsall. The first question to come before them was as to their petitioning for the total repeal of the iniqui tous taxes upon food, and it was to him .a source of the highest gratification to see the industrious classes aroused to a sense of what was due to themselves upon this important and vital question. He considered this as the question of questions. He considered that all questions, eompered with this—whether they were of Household Suffrage, Vote by B dial, or any other of the political questions which agitate the country, total): insignificant when compared with the great question of free trade. England was essentially a commercial and manufacturing nation. She was not as the Continental countriesestssa trisengricultural country ; but yet the agricultural interest had thriven. by itv great advancement ; they had doubled, trebled, nay quadru• pled the value of the land, by the taxes put upon the necessaries of life. Surely this was sufficient, with out their still continuing to advance the price of land, at the expense of every poor man's family in the country. But this was only a small portion of the evil they interfered with, these iniquitous Corn-laws interfered with the rights of labour ; they interfered not only with the manual production of every man, but they taxed the articles which he took in exchange for those manual pro ductions. 'File) not only enhanced the price of food, hut they made us pay almost double what we ought for the first necessaries of life. Witness the price of corn.—( Hear.) Was it not from 60s. to 70s. poi. quarter? With free trade we should have it at 40s. —(Hear.) He did not, however, look for that enor mous reduction that many persons did ; for it had been so low as 38s. under the present system ; so that it was not an absolute protection for the land owners ; but what he wished was an equality of prices as far as it was possible to obtain it. The present Corn-laws, as they had hitherto been carried out, had induced other nations to retaliate upon us, to put restrictions on our commerce, to prohibit our manufactures, and to advance their tariffs, not only in Europe, but all over America. We refused to take their corn, their timber, their coffee, and their sugar ; and the conseqoence had been that they had raised manufactures to compete with us. The result had been to produce competition in the labour market, to reduce the price of labour here, and wages must go down if the system were con tinued ; but the people were deceived by being told that if the Corn-laws were repealed, the effect would be to reduce the price of labour. These laws restricted our commerce, they reduced our labouring population to the lowest scale of existence, and they made them to have only half a loaf where they should have a whole one ; they kept their children from education, they produced crime and misery, they filled our gaols with felons, and all in his opinion, was in a great degree attributable to the iniquitous law which the Legislature had doomed the people to suffer under. The Chairman said he would draw attention to other articles besides corn, in which the iniquity of the Corn-law system was felt. He commenced with sugar. Colonial sugar was allowed to come into this country at 245. per cwt., and foreign sugar at 635. What was the simple fact ? • Into whose hands did the difference between 2.45. and 635. go ? Certainly not to the revenue. It I came out of the pockets of the people, and went into the pockets of the West India planters, to whom we had already given twenty millions of money. The some was to be said of coffee and timber. The Chairman then argued the question whether repeal of the Corn-' laws would reduce wages ; and described it as his opi nion that, so far from reducing, it would increase them, I by removing competition amongst labourers. He then referred to free .trade principles, and quoted Jar it -oly. Irete the Report of the CornasiSte"ii of the House of Commons, as respects the evidence of Mr. J. D. Huhne and Mr. Macgregor and others in aid of them, and concluded by expressing his conviction that, if they until lend a willing hand to send no man to the House ' of Commons who was not disposed to take off every prohibition and restriction which was imposed upon the chief articles of consumption, and which pressed so heavily, and almost to death, upon the poor of the land, their object, would soon be accompl:shed. A letter was then read from Mr. Thornely, the Mem ber for Wolverhampton, expressing his regret that be was unable to attend the meeting, but intimating his in tention to vote on every future occasion for a total re- peal of the Corn-laws. Mr. JOAN MURRAY moved the first resolution, which was seconded by Mr. ROBERT JONES, and supported by Mr. Rosso s, the barrister. It was to the effect—That the present. Corn and Provision-laws impose upon the people of this country a burthen of 50 millions a year, enabling the landowners enormously to increase their incomes, at the expense of every other interest of the community. Mr. DUFFEY and Mr. BOYD moved and seconded the next resolution, which was that a petition be adopted for a total, immediate, and unconditional repeal of the Corn-laws. On the motion of Mr. i\l‘ INTYRE, seconded by Mr. M'KEN NED, the following address to the electors of Walsall was agreed to unanimously : " TO THE INDEPENDENT ELECTORS OF THE BOROUGH OF WALSALL. " On you is devolved the signal honour of being the first constituency in Great Britain to repudiate the pre tensions of any Parliamentary candidate unplcdged to a repeal of the inhuman starvation laws, which so fear fully affect our beloved country. In a few days your borough will be made the battlefield for a great princi ple. On one side is the fearless and disinterested advo cate of the enlightened principles of unrestricted com merce ; on the other, the scion of grasping and re morseless monopoly, who would make the hunger of Englishmen, like the sweat of the negro, the source of unholy wealth in the coffers of insatiate ambition. What man in whose breast lives one generous feeling, will hesitate to side with the champion of industry and plenty against the supporter of monopoly and want. Men of Walsall, the eyes of the empire are upon you. The wives and daughters of England, working men, look with intense interest to the progress of your struggle. Our unemployed operatives for a tune forget their pri vations in the excitement with which they watch your conduct in the coming contest ; our drooping commerce and decaying manufactures feel a vivifying spirit in the expectations which arise from the noble po sition you have taken. Britons! Brothers ! Men ! from this great mart of commerce we send you our sympa thies, and pray for your success. Let not, then, we implore you, the triumph of monopoly in your borough blast the high hopes you have created. Strike, men of Walsall, strike a manly British blow for the prosperity of Old England, and your first loud shout of conquest will give joy to every honest heart throughout the land ; and towns and counties, catching up your glorious spi rit, shall, in imitating your example, make ' gallant Walsall,' a rallying cry to• many a future victory." Mr. Rathbone - ana Mr. Shiel next addressed the meeting, when the proceedings terminated. Two individuals attempted to oppose the resolutions, but the Chairman refused them a hearing, on the ground that the meeting had Dot been called for discussion.

ST. PAUL'S, COVENT -GARDEN.—A public meeting, for the total repeal of the window-tax, was held at the Vestry-room, on Thursday evening, the 14th instant; Mr. Cribb, of King-street, was called to the chair. A scrias of resolutions were passed, unanimously condemning the unjust character of this tax.

HOLLAND'S BALSAM OF SPRUCE, the newly-discovered remedy for COUGHS, COLDS, INFLUENZA, INCIPIENT ASTHMA, and CON SUMPTION. Medical Science is daily producing new wonders, and among the discoveries which take place none see more deserving of public approbation than a remedy for those complaints which, in this variable climate, are so productive of fatal consequences to the comfort and lives of the public as Coughs and Colds. This Extraordinary Remedy . relieves the most distressing symptoms in a few flours, and a little perseverance in its use will, in every case, effect a permanent cure. Coughs and Colds, accompanied by a difficulty of breathii.g„ soreness and rawness of the chest, impeded expectoration, sore throat, and feverish symptoms, will be quickly subdued, while its use will assuredly prevent consumption from this prolific cause. Holland's Balsam of Spruce gives immediate ease in all Asthmatic cases, and particularly in hoarseness, Wheezings, and Obstructions of the Chest; while those who have laboured for years under the misery of a confirmed Asthma, have been enabled by its use to enjoy the blessings of life, and to pursue their avocations with a degree of ease and comfort they had been strangers to for years.

VICE CHANCELLOR'S COURT, JAN. 15. His Honour the VICR-CHANCELLOR was occupied the whole morning with unopposed petitions and short causes. COURT OF QCERN'S BENCH, J. 15. (Sittings in Banco. ) PETERS V. ELDERTON AND OTHERS.-EXTRAORDINARY CASE. This was an action against the defendants upon- a bill of exchange for the sum of 3001. drawn by Julian Hugh Peters, and accepted by the defendants, who were in part nership at the time. 'The bill was made payable seven months after date. Two of the defendants suffered judg ment to go by default, and the cause was defended by El derton. At the trial, before Lord Denman, at the last We,tminster sittings, the Court had permitted one of the defendants, named R. Jones, who stated that he was a con vej anzer, to be called and examined as a witness on behalf of the plaintiff He swore the defendant Elderton was present when the bill was accepted, and also when it bad been discounted by Peters, and that Eld rton had part of the money. The Jury, upon that evidence, found for the plaintiff. Sir F. POLLOCK now moved for a rule to show cause why the verdict should not be set aside, and a nonsuit entered. _ _ _ Lord DENMAN said the rule might instantly be granted upon the ground of the reception of Jones as a witness. Sir F. Pot.Loma had other points which he wished also to state to the Court. Indeed, the ease was in his opinion one of the most extraordinary that had ever come before him, and he hardly knew how to shape his application, and he should wish to hear the opinion of the Court a* to whether it should be against the witness or the attorney. The bill was drawn upon a stamp issued in Feb: nary 1834, and the case of Eldcrten was that he had never seen or heard of the bill till the action had been commenced against him ; that be never received any of the money ; that he was utterly unacquainted with any person of the name of. Julian H. Peters ; that he had made every attempt to discover whether any such person exiated, but that no person of the name could be found.

Lord DENMaN thought quite enough had been stated to entitle him to the rule prayed. Sir F. Potamme said, as the case might affect Mr. Babb, the plaintiff's attorney, he wished to state that so far as he knew, that gentleman was of unimpeachable character, and it was not surprising that he should believe the statements of Jones, who was in appearance and by birth and educa tion a gentleman. He wished to know in what way he should shape his Application. Perhaps the better course would be to move that all the proceedings in the case should be sot aside, and that the plaintiff's attorney should pay the costs. Lord DENMAN thought that would be rather a strong course to take. Sir F. PoLLocit—Tho attorney gay° a wranfr address of the plaintiff. After some further discussion, the COURT granted a rule to show cause why a nonsuit should not be enter( d, and why all the proceedings should not be set aside, with costs, to be paid by Janes or his attorney. 13 AIL COUR"! , JAN. 15. (Before Mr. Justice WILLIAMS.) FULLER v. CURLING. Mr. CLARKSON moved in this case for a rule to show cause why the verdict had for the plaintiff should not be set aside and a new trial had. The action had been tried a few days since befor e th e Under-Sheriff. It was brought by the plaintiff, a gardener, against the defendant, whose name has been lately before the public as one of the can didates for the borough of Southwark, for work and labour done, in converting a small piece of ground into a garden. The defendant had paid 381. Is. for gravel and mould, a sum of 171. at different times to the plaintiff, and 8/. Rs. into Court, and the Jury had given a verdict for 81. Bs. additional. The Learned Counsel referred at some length to the evidence at the trial, and submitted that there was nothing in it to warrant the Jury in finding any additional sum fur the plaintiff. It would be only mere justice if the Court would also direct that the trial should take place be fore one of their Lordships. The COURT said that should be a substantive motion in itself, and granted a rule for a new trial. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, JAN. 15. (Sittings in Banco.) ALAVA V. THOMFSON AND OTHERS. This was an action brought in the name of the Spanish Ambassador against Lord Sydenham upon a bill of ex change for 3,17.5/., dated in 1823, and accepted by the late firm of Thompson, Bonnar, and Co., of which the Noble Lord was the head. The bill was accepted upon a con signment of sugar from Teaser and Co., of the Havannah, and was made payable to " the Prior of Consules of the National Consulate of Cadiz, " which body was suppressed, and its functions distributed amongst other bodies, one of which was called " The Junta of Commerce of Cadiz." The ATTORNEY-GENERAL had obtained a rule for on lorging the time for returning a commission to examine witnesses in Spain, and to add-anew plea. Cause against the rule was this morning shown by Mr. Cresswell, who was interrupted by the Court suggesting that the action should proceed, a verdict taken, and the defendant have a stay of proceedings until he had a release from the Junta of Commerce at Cadiz, and from the Spanish Government. sug gestion from th e C ourt.

HINTS TO GRAND JURORS:' The following, which we find in the Manchester Ad vertiser (whether original there we do not know), is of infinite importance, and, if well considered, admirably calculated to save time, trouble, and expense. All young grand jurors, that is to say grand jurors so sum moned for the first time, or who attribute to themselves not only powers which do not legally or legitimately be long to their office, but a wonderful talent fur legisla tion, choose, much to the annoyance of their fellows (whose knowledge and experience render their exhibi tions exceedingly tiresome and ridiculous), to endeavour to try the prisoners who are brought before them, and against whom they have to hear only ex parte evidence to an extent sufficient to enable them to make up their minds as to whether that ex parte evidence is sufficiently strong - to let the accused but absent parties be put upon their trial before a petit jury. The suhjoined hints place the duties of the grand juror in so plain and clear a light that we are quite sure, if we obtain the thanks of no other persons, we doll gain those of the chairmen of quarter sessions, who arc often, with their brethren on the bench, kept without their dinners, while the grand jury are puzzling them selves in discussing e‘idence which they have no busi ness to discuss, and cross-examining witnesses whose plain testimony as to evident facts is all they have to do with : " HINTS. " 1. The grand jury are not to try the prisoner, but only to nscertain whether there is sufficient presumptive evidence to put the prisoner upna his trial. However,. in eases where the person charged has not been sent to, trial by a magistrate (that is to say, where he is neither in custody nor out upon bail), then the grand jury should be most careful in their examination of all witnesses: 2. The grand jury on first entering on businTss should proceed on some of the bills which have on them the fewest number of names, and should send such bills' to the Court as soon as found. When the Court arc in the possession of three bills, the grand jury should not send any more bills untid they are apprised by ape officer attending the grand jury that the Court is tr3ing the last indictment, and then the grand jury should send to the Court all the bills found or thrown out. By sending down single bills (after the first three) the Court may be very inconveniently interrupted in the trial of prisoners. 3. Each witness should first be examined by the foreman, and no other juryman should put a question until such examination by the foreman is ended ; and it would tend to preserve regularity if such last mentioned questions were put to the witnesses through the foreman. ;, 4. he m first witness ayn coatH know a called should s be much ( the,fthe t prosecutor riu and, s_ action as the other witnesses, he can inform the jury which of the witnesses knows most. " 5. In cases of larceny, the person who possesses the property, and who generally is the constable, should be the second witness culled. " 6. The person who took the prisoner into custody should always be asked what the prisoner said, in an swer to tha charge when arrested, and also when he was before the Justice. It frequently happens that the pri soner has confessed his guilt ; but if a question should arise, whether such a confession was obtained by per suasion or threat, the grand jury should find the bill, leaving that question for the decision of the Court and jury. 7. If the grand jury are satisfied that the prisoner should be tried, although they have examined only a f e w of the witnesses, it will not be necessary that they should examine all the witnesses ; but no bill should be thrown out without having examined every witness. " 8. Of whatever number the grand jury may con sist, no bill can be found but by 12 at the least. " 9. The grand jury are not usually very strict as to documentary evidence ; they often admit copies where the originals alone are evidence, and sometimes even evidence by parole of a matter which should be proved by written evidence. " 10. It is not essential that the goods stolen should have been found. " 11. if possession of goods charged to have b_e t e i n e stolen is proved against a prisoner, the duration o f the possession is immaterial ; though it be only I ° Lit any and be instantly relinquished, it is a sufficient " 12 A carrying away of goods is esientts rc n osion. the least removal of a chattel from the occupied is a sufficient carrying " cay ' that the prisoner 13. Although it should be proved place which it out the bill. to the law, the foreman " 14. In cases of dou bt as is insane, the grand jury mus t not on that account throw Id iou go on the bench for and it is desirable that lie L v i se stating the question publicly that purpose, oteen . of the foreman to report to the of the grand jury should stat:3 l such doubt to the Court man absents or misconducts e- du tr t i y a ncloihrltts,p.irfeljt.autildsyiciettihtrelyi FATAL ACCIDENT.--On Thursday an inquest in the board-room of onmddy on nf the Wednesday, evidenceldl inaemsdaKye:mthhia)et, t a:‘ ; l C siedsddhleeel deceasedlsedevMiddlesex before 1 1r.
