He was favettaabie to freedom of diseussion, but appthended that no' Motron of aci . .iairrinieut could be put, till a motion was I,cl:ore the meanie- • and then it must be in the form of an amendment. M. t-,iOLTATI could not take the same view of the sub ject as Captain _Philips. All, however,, were.aware that, public meetings had almost invariably, been- called ' for twelve o'ciOck - n . and many of the requisitionists ~hav*g7 expressed a wish that. this, should take phice",at,tbessann:l F hour, he shop...lst then: was ;:o improprietyintadherieg v to the 4eneraCrule. . He, however, would never s ohjeet a to evening nisetiags, if such was the desire of the ,requia. sitinnists•--:(Cheers.) He was convinced of the good feel,- ing and peaceable department of the men of Plymouth, and was convinced that.ainevil would result therefrom. He deemed that it woaltthe hardly fair to adjourn now that the trreater portioa of the requisitionists were present. Me. El:nos-toe said that lalo4l) : thau three-fourths of the requisitionists ,-.-ere present.- a Mr. W.ll. EvEsts would info,-; 1, these to whom a mid day meeting was inconvenient, thatnheee were others to who* an evening meeting would be equally so. If the meeting, however, decided for the latter, of course he would give way. „ . . Mr. &trim would ask if three-ihurths of.the requisi tionists coulcl represent, the feelings of the inhabitants, of whom there were 6,000 male adults ? .lle therefore pro tested against the present holding of the meeting. Mr. IL M. Giasox would wish that the meeting should proceed to business. . Experience had dictated that the individuals who had raised the opposition had a desire to upset the object in view, and substitute in its stead their darling Charter.—(Questiou, question.) Captain PHILIPS said that the pride of an Englishman was the right of free discussion. He hoped all would now be allowed that privilege. He would ask, was it fair to endeavour to stifle a free discussion ? If the Chartists had a point to be carried at any of their meet ings, no Corn-law repealer would endeavour to frus trate it ; he was pretty sure that neither. party would make a nonsatri a nf 'the other., All he asked for was fair play and freentiiscussion. The Hall was then nearly full, there was not roonafor fifty more ; how, then, could it be said that this was not a fair meeting of the inhabitants? He deemed this interruption a great waste of time. Mr. SOLTAIT having put the resolution, it was nega tived by a considerable majority, and the meeting was therefore continued,,.,.., Mr. Nionoas was delighted that that subject had been dispflica of, aWd• alowlie" should be glad to hear the opinions of all.present. ~ It o :would be . the last man to light a ean( l 4,2i:Rwl put it urol , r a.bushel ; the better way was to came ,at mid-day, that all might be seen. There were somq ; 49 thowi..kt,tto gate else made a sacrifice for the publie;gpod hut,timmoLves ; he could say that his sacri liceljayareffillyttnntalataittheirs. He would propose the fol., 141 9q6;r 4 1,41940. 1 1'5ata`t, '.That it i$ highly important, at this eventful crisis, to seize every opportunity to make known the public - feel i ng„ - for the purpose of directing the attanaioatalf re Ahose ill power to the present a l a rming state ~4cliaiiess which prevails, with nearly equal se verity throughout the agricultural and manufacturing districts...with a view to the adoption of such a modifica tion of oar import duties as can alone remove the exist ing pressure, and invigorate our commerce and manufac tures. And as affording such an opportunity we hail the arrival of.Load,.l - ohn Russell as one of the Repre: sentatives of her Majesty's late Liberal Government among us, with antninfeled satisfaction and delight." He would now attempt an explanation of the subjects em bodied in this lengthened resolution. The first was, the alarming distress which prevailed in our agricultural and manufacturing districts. There was no doubt that it existed to a most ..unusual extent ; that at no f ormer period h a d it ever . equalled this—at least not for any continuance. It was . a pressure that was felt by all ; the capitalist, in the dep reciated. value of his property ; the tradesman, in the lack otsalc for his commodities ; the manufacturer, in having few or no orders for goods ; and the labourer, In the destitution , of employment and food. In Lancashire thousanas of families are now in a desti tute state ; each factory as it stopped added some new victims to ruin or starvation : this was no exaggerated tale ; they were facts a and he defied contradiction. • Fortunately this state of things did not extend here ;• but, as Englishmen, they must sympathize with their fellow-beings. Thousands would eagerly grasp at work, if it were within their reach. He valued the industrious classes a and would not speak a word against them ; they were, however, born:: down by destitution, and their lot was even worse than the felon in jail. Who, he would ask, was the man to stand forth to alleviate these wants ? Lord J. Russell made the attempt Ole waif, doubtless, late" in the field, but it was impossible to forget the factious opposition he had to encounter. No man could run if he was-held back. But when the measures he bad brought forward had all but.

A voice—" T.low . - .l;e - ut. the Poor-law.") He was convinced that even if the present generation did not praise him, those who came after surely would do so. He was the advocate of truth and, justice—(Yes, yes—no, no—groans)—whether his opi nions were adopted or rejected was a matter of little, im • port to him. He was convinced in utteringsfhose,Oiti ments he had done his duty.—(Uproar.) ;', l l'hey were facts, and he defied contradiction..--(Cheers and up. roar.) He had no reservation to mak-e'in -hiestaterrients. He thought a thorough change of the Impcift Duties the only way to benefit the country.—(Cheers, and hissing.) Dr. HAMILTON rose to second the proposition, and . la jarstify-it by - tileve additional facts which all must under stand. They would recollect that in June last the Lih*al Ministry *ere taunted by their opponents with ebringing-forwarkthese measures, and were told they had merely done so to .prop up their tottering power ; these opponents were eager to have Parliament called together at.. the earliest possible opportunity. Parliament was dissolved, appeal Was made to the constituencies, and Tory tactic.; were all employed. Blackest falsehoods and 'Calumnies of the deepest dye were abundantly propa gitel at the hustings, at meetings, and in conversation. Coercion, corruption, and bribery, were employed ; the aid of the 'fads of the Carlton Club was called in ; in fact, there was a complete crusade against liberty and prosperity; against the rights of Englishmen, and against the starvingpar, Parliament met ; this desperate, san luinary tagrsg?ized upon the reins of Government, as they preten)ept the call of the nation. He would deny such to lutve'beed the case; he would deny that they were the peoplemhpi.ge ;.. he would deny that they were the{ chosen MitiNiftrs of the Crown. What was their firSO act ? Te procrastinate all inquiry into the distress of the country for six months. They forgot their pretences in their anxiety to grasp place and pension ; with the damning facts staring them in the face of the "poor droppin g dead at their looms—of the degraded paupers— whiles they ..

Leeds, with a population of 123,000, has 30,967 whose weekly earnings average 94(1. per head, while 5,776 do not earn one farthing per week. At Manchester and Stockport q 7, mills, had entirely stopped, and 49 in part, working about nr five days per week. These are some, of the fruits of our restricted. laws on commerce. Sir Robert Peel prorogues Parliament in the face of this. He would say that . the. present Ministry had already committed more . atrocious acts than any had ever pre vioasly- done. The Learned Doctor here drew a con trast between the acts of the Whigs and the Tories, ex tending to some, length. In August last a petition was forwarded for presentation to the Queen from Sir Robert Peel's pocket borough of Tantworth, praying that lisr liament might not be dissolved till some means had been taken to alleviate the distress of the poor. The speaker here entered into, full details of the reception of this petition, which having .so lately been before the public, it will be needlessliere to repeat. He animad verted_in the strongest,ternwen the . conduct of Sir Ro 13ertreel in this . business...—(Some one here called out it,was not fair.) He would say it. was fair to expose his sialitical opponents, and wouldd, challenge any one to pro hicesa parallel net of Lord John Russell; or any other 'inan's.—(Cries of " Question.") He could not further follow up this Tamworth case; it was too black, too dark, too villainous a job. He would consign it to the oblivion it merited, but he would challenge any one to produce an act half so bad perpetrated by the late Ministry. He concluded by seconding the resolution. Mr. SMITH rose amid deafening cheers from the Char tists. He said he had listened with much pleasure, but much surprise, at the scope which had been afforded for free discussion. He conisdered that the meeting had been called for the purpose of addressing Lord John Russell, but was surprised at finding the subject of the Corn-laws and Import Duties discussed. He agreed with the speakers as to the propriety of repealing the Corn laws, although not as to the means by which such an end was to be accomplished. He would not grapple with. the subject on such shallow grounds. He therefore hoped to have the same leniency extended to him in discussion as had l been afforded to others. Two bads would not make a good. Allusion had been made to the failings of the Tories, but nothing had been said of the failings of the Whigs. It appeared as though there were but two parties ; they forgot there was another party, a grow ing one, to which had been assigned the name of Char tist. If the Tories massacred the people at Peterloo, where was the massacre at Calthorpe-street ? The ex peaces of the present Government were fifty times more than it ought to be, and ought to be reduced. If Lord John Russell had been the . advocate of the cause of the people, he would not fall out with him, but he had not been. If Tory measures had been bad those of the Whigs were equally so. Mention had been made of the pocket boroughs of the Tories; but had not the Whigs some pocket boroughs too ? He would in stance five counties in England which, with a popula tion of a million and a half of inhabitants, sent 81 Mem bers to . Parliament ; while three other counties, with a population of.four millions and a half sent but 79 Mein hers, Was this an equal distribution of the repres'entaLl tion ? What had always been the conduct of the Whigs . to the Chartists ? The Chartists had not endeavourer 1 'to break the public peace.—(Cries of " Oh, oh I New port' If their.meetings had disturbed the quiet of the :Wilip, Xlie Reform Bill had disturbed that of the To- Ties.,---,(LOod cheers.) The newspaper reporters at Dun , -. dee ,were required to assist as spies at their , meeting‘sJi Perhaps even now the reporters present were acting asi , spip4or some flf the factory masters. ChwitrutrveretHr a multitude ofsins: .He would point out the vast amount of Church property, amounting to 48,8891. 13s. 4d. an nual income; which had been taken from the Churchiin the time of Henry VIII. by the Bedford family; which was of right the property of the poor.—(A voice, "Lord John Russell could not help that." Much confusion.) He here entered into a lane- harangue about the politi cal defalcation of Lord John Russell ; and his having stated that he could not let Reform progress. He then spoke of the great sums of money expended by the Whigs. There was Queen Adelaide, to whom 100,0001. per year had been given ; and Prince Albert, to whom 30;000/. per annum was granted ; and he would ask, who prevented his having 50,000/? While, again, they granted 70,0001. to construct stables for the horses of this German pauper. -=(Cries of " Shame, shame ; turn him out," with a very great confusion, and cheers from the Chartists.) • Mr.• T. GILL, M..P., spoke to 'order ; ,he would say that let the speaker attack WhigS 'or 'Tories as he might,' but at least respect that man who above' all others was entitled to their regard, by being the husband of that Queen whom they adored. The Prince had been villified, but it was well known that he had no hand in the Parliamentary grant. He trusted that the expression was caused by the state of excitement of the speaker, whom he trusted had in this instance been carried away by his feelings. ' • Mr. T. STEVENS rose to order ; after the violent lan-. guage which had b e e n use d by . D r . H am il ton, an d w hi c h had been allowed to pass unnoticed, he 'hardly wondered at what fell from Mr. Smith. Mr. S3IITH had little practice.as. e. public Speaker. If he had said wh at was i mproper he would apologize, but he should be glad to Ingle the word ‘• pauiwr7. defined to him. Mr. SOLTAU considered the term used a r .v,ceedingly harsh, • Mr. Slurra—The fact, however, was not.; disproved, even if the harsh language were removed. :•i)V,ho again stood .forward against the unstamped newspapers ? Who transported the porcheist, eT labourers ? an event which never ,ought to be forgotten.—(Question, question.) Mi'..,SoLTAu decided that the speaker was in ..,rder ; great scope had been allowed to others, and he would extend the same to him. Mr. SMITH thought that Lord John Russell deserved a vote of censure inltead of praise ; he would, therefore, propose as an amendment, that "It was unnecessary and uncalled for •to render •a vote of thanks to the indi vidual named in the requisition." (The speaker here was ,alludinn. to the principles of the Charter, but was called to order from various parts of the Hall) He said in reply that he had as great a right to go on as any other, and with the permission of the Chairman, he would maintain that.right. He here rambleddiite'a long abuse of the reporters for Whig newspaper4;!ivito, he said, suppressed the real statements' and facts; till he 0 - .•-as stopped by the Chairman, whO decided thathe vas ,out of order. , ; , 'II 1.- ' ' ,`lr. 110 4EILTS0N (a Chartist) seconded the amendillehti' .!,t.r.

LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, Nov. 19. MITFORD V. REYNOLDS. The arguments in this part-heard appeal were resumed to-day, but had not concluded when the Court rose. We have already given in detail the facts of the case. The case will be proceeded with to-morrow (this day). ROLLS' COURT, Nov. 19. KING V. HAMMETT. In this case a testator died insolvent in January, 1838, his estate amounting only to 2041.85, and a creditor having obtained a judgment on a warrant of attorney for 1491., with interest and costs. In addition to which there was a sum of 60/. due to the landlord for rent, in this state of things the plaintiff, who was a creditor for 421., made application for pay ment of his debt, in answer to which he was in formed that the estate was insolvent. Without ranking further inquiry, or any complaint of misrepresentation ; he filed a bill on the 27th of September for the recovery of hiS debt. On the 6th of November the solicitor of 'the defendant wrote to the solicitor of the plaintiff, ex pressing his surprise at his taking such an ill-judged step after he had been advised that the estate was insolvent, land undertaking to convince him that such was the case; of at consequently- he must look for his costs to his own he further stated that he should Wait a rea jsonoloime before putting in an answer ; and that if pla.intiff,prneeeded i after this notice he must do it at his peril. l'o,this letter. no answer was returned, and on the 16th January, 1830, solicitor for the defendant wrote again, sending a :copy of the administration account, r by' which it appeared' that the balance in hand, after pay= if , rent of the judgment debt was but 91/. 12s. Bd., and in ' forrning him that testator's books were open for his in spection. Notwithstanding this information plafififfr persisted in his suit, which now came on for hialards ship's, decision. Irk Mr. li. - indersley appeared for the plaintiff, .atid hrr. Pemberton for the defendant. The MASTER of the ROLLS said he thought the pro, sedition of this ease must be extremely regretted by the. plaintiff, and by those who advised him. lle found at. the end of the suit that he had acquired no information that had not been given to him at the beginning, and without having in the least increased his interest, secu rity, or property. No doubt if a creditor's suit was properly instituted for the purpose of realizing the assets, and when they were realized it was found that they were not sufficient to pay the specialty, although the plaintiff might obtain nothing for himself, yet the costs he had incurred in the proper prosecution of the suit for the benefit of others would be awarded to him. But was this case of that nature ? Was it properly instituted? Was it properly prosecuted ? With respect to the mat ter of right, there was no doubt whatever of the right of every creditor to have an account of the estate of a person indebted to him ; but did it follow from this that when he did this rashly, without regard to his own interest, or that of others, he should be reimbursed all th e cos t s h e might have incurred ? lie was not aware of any such rule as this. There might be a case in which, for want of information, it might not be known what was -necessary to be done before the answer, and when the suit IA as further proseCuted, it appeared the answer was correct ; even in that case, though he knew nothing of it when the answer came in, he would (not be entitled to costs. With respect to the specialty debt in this case, it was not denied by the de fendant that the finding of the Master was correct. It was no way in question. Before the institution of this suit, and after the answer was, put in, the plaintiff had not only a statement of account, but knew what the result was. He had an offer of the inspection of the books, but he did not find that this offer was accepted. The investigation that might have been made, was not made, and therefore his opinion was, that a person who ,went on under these circumstances, went on not only.at the risk of no costs, but at the peril of costs to pay. ThiLarasexactly.what the plaintiff did. It was loandv l tlant•the' an wer was in all respects correct ; • and if there were no principle recognised, he should think it right, on this occasion, to *take care that justice should be - dotie IYr'had, therefore, no hesitation in dismissing the suit •ivith costs. CHANNELL V. MARTIN. Mr. CHANDLESS stated that this case came again be fora the Gotta upon' exceptions to the Master's re port. The bill was filed on the Gth of December, 1827, by parties interested in the remainder of the funds arising from the sale of a freehold estate, which, in the year 1784, was devised by Samuel Gordon to four trus tees, fo r the purpose of sale, with directions to invest the p . rOceel's arising' from such sale, and to pay thereon certain' dividends to Elirsbetli - P - alife — and her husband for' their lives, with remainder, under which the plaintiff b'eaame interested. The trustees, instead of selling the estate to the best purchaser, sold it to one of themselves, in 1784, far 9801., and that shortly after the purchaser bought the life interest of the parties entitled to the dividend. The parties interested in remainder being 'unborn, no. inquiry was then made into the. cirCitmstances.of t,he gale, but issue had subsequently come into existence,: and had attained the age of 21 yrs, .and having 4ap. inquiries, 14. d found that the estate .wits sold int 414,snanner stated. In the meantime tht i riurc h 40 .. , ai,pd,,,,,„,,a the estate became vested in Mr. Satnnel ;1.. E. Ai j artin, aril the bill was fikd for the pur pose of having t , the sale ,set :The case was heard e Tolut ...Leach in' '1:8p1, who decreed that the vtqllof.i,ho testator oughi, to be established, and the trusts performed;and that the sale of the estate to Thomas Martin, the trustee, was void,. and must be set a , side, but without prejudice to the right of the defendant, S a muel J. E. Afartm, is against the defendants, Paines, in r,sspect of their life interests. It was then ordered to be r,sferred to the Master, to inquire whether the saleable' condition of the estate was improved to any, ; t ie r svliat extent in pecuniary value, not taking into account any alteration since the sale in the value of land, and with k Ither directions. When the matter came before th e Master- be threw on. the defendant the onus of prov ing, the am mint of expenditure, and twenty•five Aida 7,itss were ;ilea „upon the subject, when the Mas ter , ha v i ng come to tieJ conclusion that he could report that :iny improvement had taken place to nsequence,pf defend:ales expenditure, directed the inqi !try to b e proceeded is ith in another. manner; and. i tavi,rig found what the estate was sold for in 1 ; 794, and 'wits t was it s va l ue at the present time, he , deducted the amou n t ar i s i ng from the increased value: 'of land!, and d ec id e d that the balance s Shoot u , d ti: •h e o d w ef t e o n t d h a e eentlardar3, and unlesslaidout, mad e his was the. .exact il s the report cordi'; igly.

An d th a t Ole defendant ought to have given positive ee idc..m:e of his expenditure, and of the increased value. From this decision' defendant appealed to the late Lord Waster to revi ew hi s report. The Ch anc ellor, by: vrhtlll . l,4 was confirm e d, an d t h e matter reftiaed beck , to , the 3 - 4;rl'kre Master then allowed the defendant to procure L.w u of the former witnesses to make addi tional affidavits, and on these he reported on the 10th of February, 184 . 1, that he found the increased saleable valuec_ef thestate to be 1,4751. To this report the present exeltions 'were taken, which were 23 in number, their effect being to traverse the whole of the finding ii the report. A conversation having ensued ainotig the Counsel, it terminated in an arrangemeni- to , . allow 1,0001. to be found the amount of.the increased value, without costs for the exceptions, to which arrangement his Lord ship assented, and the case_was referred • back to the Master to find accordingly, by consent of the parties. His LORDSHIP having heard one.or two other short causes •of little general interest, rose shortly before two o'clock, there being no other- ease•on the paper ready for hearing. these:—The Reverend Gentleman h e ld th e li cense o f the Archbishop of Canterbury to perform the duties of chaplain to this establishment. His appointment had taken place under the 9th George IV., c. 40, s. 32, by which it was enacted that, in every case where a county lunatic asylum existed, there should be provided a Chaplain for the same, who should be a person in full orders, and should be licensed by the Bishop of the Diocese ; and the said license to such person should be revocable by the said Bishop whenever he should think fit to withdraw the same : and the said Chaplain should perform service on each Sunday and on the great fes tival days, according to the forms of_ the Church as• established by law. This appointment was only for the purpose of preaching and prayer, for, by the ecclesiastical constitution, the cure of souls within the parish belonged to the ldWfully-appointed In cumbent thereof. The applicant in this case was elected to his office in 1839 ; he was presented to the Archbishop, and duly licensed .by his Grace. In July last the visiting Justices thought fit to dismiss Mr. Tebbutt, and to nominate Mr. Burke in his room, and they applied to the Archbishop to licence the gentlemen so nominated by them, and to revoke the licence which his Grace had already granted to Mr. Tebbutt; but this his Grace refused to do. In fact, there was no good ground for such a course, for Mr. Tebbutt had not been accused of any misconduct, and the visiting Justices themselves accompanied their application to the Arch bishop with a request that his Grace would provide other preferment for him. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S. COURT. Noe. 19. His Honour the VICE - CHANCELLOR Of ENGLAND was occupied with': tinoppd§ed petitions, short causes, lay arguments on the Part-h e ard cas e a n t d he the w hbl e further . of Salisbury v. Morrice. The arguments in the latter case were not concluded, and will be resumed to-morrow (this day). . (Before 'Viee-Chancellor KNIGHT BRUCE.) RYAN V. DANIEL. This suit was instituted by Miry Ryan, the adminis tratrii and personal representative of John Burke Ryan, aaj, tint George Robert Danieh'the devisee and executor qt Niaolits CharMs Daniel; fur the purpose of obtaining the performance of a contract, entered into by the parties, te pay a sum of 1,0001.,• under certain circumstances, to cacti other. It appeared that J. B. Ryan and Nicholas Charles Daniel were officers in the Horse Guards a long time ago, and•in the month of June, 1799, entered into a'avrit ten contract with each other, to the effect that Daniel, in case he died before Ryan, charged his Ofaniel's) real and personal property with a stun u 1 1,00(1;, 1,0044 13 , to .. paid after his decease"by his exe C utors , the latter having left to DRUM the same sum. in case- Daniel should survive him (Ryan). Darnel died in May, 1833, when his executors became liahle to the perforMance of the contract. Ryan died in : December, 1835 i Application had been unsuccessfully. - made by,tte pl4iiitiff for the payment of the money, and in conseAttenco:ste filed the present bill in Trinity vacation, 1838x7, Mr. FERGUS (with whom Was MilT)lagslittay . ), appeared for the plaintiff, and submitted that the—contract •in question was one which ought to be performed. It would be objected; on ,the other , side, that it was a con tract in the nature ' of a wager, and was not therefore good in law, but he, contended that even if it were of ziuch a. nature, •it was good in lass unless. Some - public •tolil4':or positive Act of Pitiliainent rendered it bat 'L . Counsel quoted several authorities sup port of his ar.Turnent, and pmeeeded at some length to" show that`Cert`ain correspondence which had taken place baweett the parties 'Mg aft the eon tract, and which it would be insisted, 'on thcatother side, had put an end to the contract, had not such an effect, but only exhibited an intention in theparties to cancel the engagement, but which iptention vas never carried . into effect. His HONOUR observed, th : at if by,.the engagement a _ legal debt not legally extinguished had been created, the Court would, he apprehended, be bound to give effect to it as against the assets of the de ceased. His Honour was by no means satis fied that such was the ease. ' Supposing a debt not to have been created in law, the question was whether such a demand had been created as a Court of Equity should give effect to, 119 t being legal. His Honour thought not. Those documents re on the face of them every mark of improvidence, having no reference to any possible change of circumstances which might subse quently take pace at eitheide by marriage, birth of children, or any inc re ase. ' or diminution o f fortune. They were drawn up in 1799 by gentlemen in the army, who soon afterwards lost sight of each other, It was re markable that in each of the papers the word " left" oc curred. His Honour was not satisfied that at the time they were meant as contracts, in the legal or equitable sense of the term. It was very probable that neither of the parties understood what they were doing. He was not satisfied. that the instruments were not testamentary ; but on that, however, any positive opinion w as no t ne cessary. Looking, however. to the nature of the instru ments, the probable ages and position of the parties in society, and at the correspondence at a very remote period from the transaction, which took place relative to it between them, in which they expressed a wish either to cancel the contract, or have it completed in a legal form ; it was impossible for the Court to treat the debt as an equitable one, as it was not a legal debt. If it were a legal debt, of which he was not satisfied, it would be his duty to give effect to it as against the de fendant's assets ; but in his view of the case he could not do so. He therefore proposed to retain the bill for twelve months before the Court, with ,liberty to bring Lora DENmAN said, that it was quite out of the usaal course to grant a rule absolute, in the first instance, in any but cases of a very peculiar kink The present was one which required to be discussed, and the Learned Serovant might, therefore take a rule t o show caus e . Rule granted accordingly. • FRIDAY. JOHNSON V. FAULKNER. In this case an action had been broUght against the defendant, who held a rent-charge of the plaintiff; Ibr • having seized a quantity of hay and corn by virtue of the authority given him upon the aforesaid rent-charge, and a verdict had been given in favour of the plaintiff. Mr. Richards had obtained a rule calling on the plaintiff to show cause why that verdict should not be set aside, and a new verdict had, on the ground of inis direction, as the statute of William and . Mary provided that hay and corn were not liable to distress. Mr. MARTIN, on the part 'of the plaintiffir4 showed cause , an d con t en d e d that, a l t h oug h the : 4. Of William and Mary provided that.hayand corn should ,be exempt from a warrant of distress, still, subsequent Acts hail provided that in such cases where the property could be restored in the same plight as when seized, such seizure should be good. The -- .Btatutte . of William and Mary provided th a t - . no distress shoUld be' made upon 'hay and corn in 'consequence of its. being not returnable in the same as when seized. But the distress in the present case did not come under that statute, as the hay and corn iti question were seized in a cart, and therefore could be returned in the same state as when seized. Mr. RICHARDS having replied, the Court took time to consider. BAIL COURT, Nov 19. EXPARTE JENKINS IN THE MATTER OF THE COMMIS STONERS OF SEWERS FOR WESTMINSTER. Mr. HoGams moved for a certiorari directed to the Westminster Commissioners of Sewers, to remove certain minutes of the proceedings of that body into this Court. He made the application on behalf of a person named Jenkins who was the owner of a slip, situated about two miles and a half from London to the north of Padding ton. Some persons had' built cottages upon this slip of land, upwards of thirty years since. These cottages had private drains, communicating with an old drain, which eventually discharged itself into the Chelsea sewer. The Commissioners of Sewers had destroyed all these private drains, and had summoned Jenkins before them, and had fined him 2501. Under these circumstances he made the application.—Application granted. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Nov. 19. ALDRIDGE V. THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY. This is an action brought by a farmer against this Railway Company, to recover the value of a stack of beans, which was destroyed by fire, occasioned by sparks from a locomotive steam-engine. A special case was raised upon the pleadings, and came on for argument this day. Mr. Sergeant CHANNELL, for the plaintiff, contended that the Company were liable for the damage, even though negligence were not proved. The Learned Ser geant cited a number of cases to show that culpable nea ligence on the part of a servant was not necessary to RYAN V. DANIEL. make the master liable for damage done. Mr. Sergeant BOMPAS replied. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE said that there was a differ ence of opinion in the Court as to the statement of the case, but their Lordships were agreed that the cause must go to a Jury. an action. Mr. BOTELER (with whom was Mr. Wacoci) having argued the defendant's case at some length, His Hosoun repeated the obserVatiOnS given above, and said that he could not take frbtn'tlie filaintiff the right to prove the legality: of the debt, and he should therefore decree that the hill.ba retained twelve months, with liberty to bring an: action; and if the plaintiff should bring an action within sik, Weeks from this day, upon the alleged debt Stqt'o in the bill, let the defen dant for the purposes:Of that action admit that it was commenced on the day wboti the present bill was filed. HOARE V. lIORNBY. In this cause, William O'Brien Hoare was the plaintiff', and William Ifornby, the defendant. The bill referred to a marriage settlement, of which the defenaant, was the trustee. The object of the bill was to have it declared that the plaintiff was absolutely entitled to' the sum of 2,70G1., and any other. sum's now in the har.ds of the defendants. SECONDARIES' COURT, Nov. 19. Walter v. ---, Evans v. Salvator, Henry v. HarriAcin, Skarratt v. Ralfe, Roberts v. Ruer, were all undefeudit actions, and verdicts were severally taken for - 'the plaintiffs. CLEMENTS V. TEAGUE. This was an action to recover the sum of 301. for two quarters' education to the soturof the defendant. The plaintiff in this action is the proprietor of Bel mont-house school, at llamniersrpith. Itt Aptil last the defendant sent her sons to plaintiff's 'school, agreeing to pay fifteen guineas per quarter - for.: the board - and education of the two. In June folloWing she removed the boys from the school without any notice ; and the plaintiff commenced the present; action to recover the amount of the quarter's education the boys bad received,' and also for a fart her quarter's schooling in 'con*quence of the • ol.aat. removilegalter , son - s• from the' school without previously giviaksititifireeeeThe• fifteen guineas had been tendered to•tha•tilain tiff,: but he refused to re ceive it withdutt the further e amount of a quarter's schooling.' ss4 c' , '^: • , The usher of the school. was put into the box to prove that the boys had been under the plaintiff's care. lie was also called upon to .prove the reasonableness of the charges for " extras," and caused some amusement by his replies to the various questions put to him. On being asked what he thought would be' a fair charge for a quarter's schooling, he replied " just what is set down in the bill." The Learned SECONDARY then r ea d over th e items in the bill, inquiring of the witness what would be a reasonable charge for each. The COURT—What would be a reasonable charge for washing ? Witness—Washing was not in my depart ment.—(Much laughter.) The Learned SECONDARY summed up the evidence, and said there was no doubt that the boys were at the school ; and the only question for them to decide was as to the amount of damage sustained -by the defendant taking her sons from plaintiff's school with out a sufficient notice. In. assessing the amount, they must bear in mind that although it was customary to insert a clause in the prospectuses of schools, that in the case of a boy being taken away without a quarter's notice, a quarter's payment would be required, that when such was the case the parties were relieved from the trouble, expenses, and responsibility - orthe charge of that boy, and therefore he did not tliink they were entitled to the full amount to be paid if the boy had re mained. It was, however, altogether a question for the Jury. The Jury, after a short deliberation, returned a ver dict for the plaintiff damages 251. SHARP V. LAMIIURN 'AND ANOTHER.

SCAWIN' V. SCAIVIN. The plaintiff in this case was William Scawin, the fa ther of the late husband of the defendant, Sarah Scawin. The other defendants were the Managers . of the York City and County Banking Company, and the object of the bill was to compel the defendant, Sarah Scawin, to transfer to the plaintiff fifty shares in that Bank, and to have it declared that James Scawin, the late hus band of the defendant, was trustee for the plaintiff of the said fifty shares. Evidence was read by the Counsel for the plaintiff to show that the husband of the defendant had never been entitled to ,the shares. Ow therpart of the defendant it was contended that in the plfreliase of the shares, there had been an evident intention on the part of the ; father to advance his son, and,,tliat the. presumption of law, therefore, was in the judgment fo r th e p l a i nt iff , w i t h out defendants l fiVour. .. ~ .

Previous to this transaction, it was alleged that he had borrowed various sums of money from his mother, for which he executed a bill of sale in her favour, conveying to her all his household furniture and stock in trade ; and when setting up in business in Bow, he said she allowed him the use of them for a cer tain weekly payment. He then got into debt to a large amount for goods supplied by several merchants in the RuSsian trade; and retired (according to his own state ment) to the country, during which time his mother took 41.7fihy•all-the property by virtue of the alleged bill of sale, although it was stated by the landlord that he was seen removing goods to his mother's residence. When his books were handed into Court, many of the figures on them were found to be written in a kind of short-hand, dr hieroglyphics.. his mother was examined at great length, and said, that although she was able to write, she never kept a regular account of the monies she lent her son, but " used to write them down on the kitchen wall." The Learned COMMISSIONEn said this was a case which called for the marked censure of the Court. He should, therefore, order the insolvent to be remanded for twelve months. FROM LAST NIGHT'S GAZETTE.
