Captain Bourchier's report of his progress up the river was so satisfactory, that I determined to prose cute the examination still further, and accordingly pro ceeded, on the following day, with the addition of the Nemesis, and we succeeded in ascending 37 miles in a direct line, and 47 miles including the sinuosities of the river above Shanghae, where we were stopped by the shallowness of the water at the entrance of a large lagoon ; but having spoken with some small junks loaded with. coal, which left SuAanfuonly on the pre ceding day, we satisfactorily ascertained that there is a water communication from the Woosung river with that rich and populous city, and that we had actually reached within 23 miles of it, with encouraging hopes that:the small steamers may convey troops within a short distance of it, should it be desirable. Commander Kellett's zeal on this service, and every ether in which he is engaged, exceeds all praise ; and I hare the satisfaction of herewith transmitting. for their Lordships' information, a sketch, which he has drawn with much ability, of the coast of the Woosung, from its entrance. as far as we have proceeded. It will convey to their Lord Ships the best idea of the locality in which we have been: operating, and, I trust, prove a satisfactory addition to our present geographical knowledge of these parts. The troops were all re-embarked at Shanghac early on the morning of the 23d, when the squadron drooped down the river, and they were in the course of the after noon transferred to their respective transports at the an chorage of Woosung. The s•trveying-vessels and light-ships of the squadron will now procoed up the Yang-tse-Kiang, and their Lord ships may depend that no time will be lost in proceeding with the expeditionary forces in prosecution of further eperatious.—l have, &e., W. PARKER, Vice-Admiral. TO THE SECRETARY OF TUE ADMIRALTY. Modesto, Wooaung River, June 18, half-past 1. Slr,—ln pursuance of your Excellency's order of yes terday's date, I have placed the ships under my com mand (except the Clio, which unfortunately got aground on her way up, and has not as yet been got afloat) out of gun-shot of the batteries. Finding this morning that the batteries on the star board and larboard sides above us had been deserted by the enemy, I dropped the Modeste nearer, and landed and took possession of them with the Marines and small arm men of the Modeste and Columbine. I found the guns—viz., on the larboard side. 8 copper guns, 33 iron ditto ; on the starboard side, 8 copper guns 6 iron ditto—had been dismounted, tents destroyed, and carriages most. of them taken away. Above the batteries I found 8 war junks, all of which were burnt, except a small one, in which I hope this evening to have all the copper .guns embarked. I - have also the honour to enclose to your Excellency a cTy of Mr. Forster's remarks, who has been sounding about a mile above the batteries in our boats. I have also to inform your Excellency, that the chop intrusted to me was forwarded to the city of Shanghae by a Chinaman, who undertook to deliver it there on the payment of a fyw dollars.—l have, &c., R. B. WATSON, Commander, her Majesty's ship Modeste, (True copy.) W..PARKER, Vice-Admiral. 'No less than 135 guns of different calibre were de stroyed in the batterics between Woosung and Shanghae, at Shanghae itself, and above the town. Cornwallis, off the city of Chin-keang-foo, at the entrance sf the South Grand Canal, in the Tang-tse-Keang,July 26, 1842. Sir.—Tt is with great satisfaction ,that I announce to the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty the safe arrival of the China expeditionary force off the island of Kinshan, at the entrance of the Grand Canal, in the Yang-tseeKeang ; and that the city of Chin-Keang-foo was taken possession of by her Majesty's combined forces on the 21st instant, after vigorous assaults on three points, and a determined resistance by the Tartar troops, who lined the walls for its defence on every part, com prising a circumference of four miles and a quarter. The squadron and transports, amounting altogether to 73 sail, left Woosung on the 6th inst., ascending this noble river in fire divisions, preceded by the surveying vessels, small steamers, sloops, and my flag ship. The intricate parts of the Channel, delineated in Captain Bethune's chart, having been previously buoyed by the surveying officers, the fleet succeeded in reaching the extent of that officer's valuable researches within two days and a half, and every subsequent difficulty has been most commendably overcome by the unremitting exertions of Commanders Kellett and Collineon, assisted by other surveying officers and the Masters of the squa dr, n, supported by the sloops which were sent in advance. It was not to be expected that a distance of 170 miles in a river, of which the dangers in the greater portion were altogether unknown, and with rapid tides, would be navigated without some mishaps, and I believe that every ship or the squadron, as Well - as many of the transpOsts, have been on shore ; but the bottom was everywhere of soft mud, and fortunately no damage resulted. We were favoure 1 with fine breezes and met with comparatively few impediments - from shoals ; and none (that deserve . the term) from any of the Chinese works of defence, in our progress to this anchorage. At Fushan and Keangyin, on the right bank, two batteries of twelve and seven guns each were erected, but e guns were removed on our approach. At Seshan, honorer, about five - leagues below the intersection of the Grand Canal, and where - the river narrows considerably, for some distance, the surveying vessels were fired at from three batteries mounting 20 guns, which were also discharged ineffectually at the advanced squadron, as they aritt'ed off the :Tot . three days afterwards, but they were abandoned on a rex guns being opened on them by the Modeste, and the whole, together with the barracks and magazines, were completely destroyed by a party of eamen and marines, which were landed for that purpose rem tlni - Cornwallis and advanced squadron, under Com mand r Charles Richards, of this ship The fleet wai detained some days off Seshan by scant wind , , and at this point we lost the advantage of any run of fool tide, the stream constantly setting down at a rate varying from two and a half to three and a half miles an hour, with the rise and fall of water averaging two feet. On the 15th, Commander Kellett, in prosecuting Ms examination of the river with the I'hlegethon and Me dusa, was opposed at the entrance of the narrow channel between the island of Tscaoushan, and a commanding promontory on its south side, by a battery of 12 guns, which were soon silenced by the steam-vessels, with much credit to Lieutenants M'Cleverty and Hewitt ; and the same afternoon Sir Hugh Gough and myself pro ceeded with the Vixen and Medusa to reconnoitre the approaches to Chin-Keang, When'we not only found the battery and adjoining village deserted, but passed on without the slightest opposition close to the suburbs of the city and above the island of Kinshan, carrying the whole way an ample depth of water. On the 17th, Captain Bourchier was dispatched with the Blonde, Modeste, Queen, and Nemesis, followed by the Dido, Calliope, Childers, Plover, and Starling, to blockade the entrances of the Grand Canal, and with the aid of the steamers he gained an admirable posi tion for this object above Kinshan, by which it is esti mated that the traffic of not less than 700 junks has been intercepted. A party- was also landed from the Blonde, and destroyed the guns which had fired at the Phlegethon and Medusa. On the 19th, the Cornwallis, towed by the Vixen, suc ceeded in reachi ng our present anchorage, when the island of Kinshan was immediately taken possession of by . , a small party of marines, but it is entirely covered with buildings of a religious character, and altogether too insignificant for m ili tary occupation. The wind in the course of the day veered to a more favourable point, and I hid the sati , facti.m being j o i ne d t h e some of • evening and On the 20th, by the remainder of the fleet. The Jupiter, and some of the transports, however, got aground a few miles below us, which obliged me to de tach the large steamers to their assistance. The grand canal on the south side of the river runs through the suburbs of Chin-Keang, and no time was lost in making the preparatory arrangements for taking possession of that city. It was ascertained that a body of about 1,500 Chinese troops were posted in an entrenched camp about a mile and a half to the south-west of the town, and on the hills beyond. The General, therefore, made his arrangements fcr landing the first and third brigades of the army to the westward of the city, opposite the island of Kinshan ; and the second brigade at a commanding position to the eastward, within 700 yards of the north east angle of the walls ; and so little was resistance ex pected against such a combination of force, that it was not deemed necessary to add the seamen and marines from the . squadron. 'The disembarkation, which commenced on the .21st at reek of day, was judiciously conducted by. Commander Richards, of the Cornwallis, covered by the Auckland, the small steam-vessels, and"armed boats without opposition. The first brigade under Major-General Lord Saltoun, as aeon as it was formed, moved for Ward to attack the effitrencbment camp, which was gallantly carried about line o'clock, after a short resistance ; the Chinese pre cipitately retiriree over the hills. Major-Oeneral be' heedde, with the second brigade, about the same time ascended the heights assigned him on the river side, and after discharging some rockets into the city, and supported by a well-directed fire of shot and shells from the Auckland (steam-vessel), he gallantly pushed forward under a smart fire of canuon, jingalls, and musketry, from the walls, and entered that point of the city by escalade about ten o'clock. Captain Grey, of the Endyinion, accompanied this brigade ; Captain Eourchier and other naval officers attached themselves to the forties which attacked on the land side, and I had the pleasure of accompanying my gallant friend, Sir Hugh Gough, d ur i ng a great part of' the operations of the day. The city gates were all strongly barricaded, and, as it was Sir Ilugh Gough's intention to escalade the walls, in the direction of the south gate, some guns were ad vanced on a height to dislodge the troops, with which it was now observed the ramparts were lined, but the canal was found to run close under its walls, which ren— dered an assault at this point impracticable ; it was therefore determined to blow open the west gate with powder-bags," and enter the city by the bridge at that point as soon as the third brigade, under Major. Gen. Bartley (which was the last landed), could assemble. . During these proceedings, the boats of the Blonde, in an anxious desire to land the artillery guns as near as possible to the west gate, unfortunately advtinced by the canal, wider the city walls, which were much obscured by buildin gs before they were aware of the force to wh ic h the, became e x p ose d ; and thus felt under a very severe fire by which 16 men out of 24, which formed the cr ews of the Blonde's b arge and flat-boat, and two officers and eight men of the M a d ras Artillery were wounded ; and ii was only by great presence of mind that Lieutenant Crouch, of that ship, after receiving" three Wound!, suc ceeded in getting the men from those boats landed in the suburbs on the opposite side, and removed the other boats from a position in which it was impossible to use their buns. Not a moment was lost in communicating this casualty • to the flag-ship, when Captain Richards, with excellent judgment and promptitude, immediately landed with 200 Marines at the entrance of the canal, where he wa's joined by a detachment of 300 of the 6th Madras Na tive Infantry, under Captain Maclean of that corps, and pushed through the suburbs to the city walls, while the whole of the boats of the Cornwallis, with their guns, under the command of Lieutenant Stoddart, advanced by the canal on his right flank. This little flotilla, having joined the boats of the Blonde, took up an ex cellent position and opened their fire with good effect in checking that of the Chinese, at the west gate. Captain Richards had determined if possible to scale the walls, in the hope of forming a junction with Gen. Schoedde's brigade in the city ; and having fortunately discovered a heap of rubbish from which his ladders could reach the parapet (about thirty feet high), he was in the act of rearing them, when Commander Watson and Mr. Forster, master, with a boat's crew and a small escort of marines joined him from the Modeste, which was stationed some miles higher up the river. Lieutenant Baker, of the Madras Artillery, Commander Watson, Captain Richards, and a private marine of the' Modesto were the first who ascended. The two former were wounded, and the latter killed by the fire from the west gate, in this intrepid achievement ; the remainder of the gallant band, including part of the 6th Madras Native Infantry, happily followed, without further loss, thus effecting an important lodgment in the suburbs of the city, between the outer and the inner west gates, where they shortly afterwards communicated with the advance of Major-General Schoedde's brigade. About noon the arrangements for forcing the west outer gate being completed, it was most effectually blown in, when the third brigade, under Major- General Bartley, accompanied by the Commander in-Chief of the Forces, gallantly rushed in, sweep ing all before them. The buildings above the gate, in which • the Tartar troops had been posted, were at the same time completely enveloped in flames. The Tartars, however, within the city, were still unsubdued, and having collected in a large body, the 18th and 49th Regiments, in advancing by the ram parts, about half an hour after the explosion of the gate, were suddenly fired upon, and unfortunately sustained a severe loss of officers and men, although their opponents suffered in a tenfold degree. The seamen and marines under Captain Richards were at this time halted for temporary rest, on another part of the ramparts, but immediately advanced in the direc tion of the firing, and in passing along a narrow street in the Tartar city received a volley from a considerable body of those troops, who had posted themselves at a gateway, where they seemed inclined to make a deter mined stand ; but on the advance of our men, and the discharge of a few rockets, they retired, leaving several men dead ; and many others, who had the temerity to fire from the houses as our men passed along the streets shared the same fate. In this movement, I regret to say that Lieutenant Fitzjames, ono seaman, and one marine of the Cornwallis, were severely wounded. The operations of this day were executed under a burning sun, with the thermometer above 90, and the loss of life in consequence has been serious ; in addition to those killed and wounded in action I have to lament the loss of Brevet-Major Uniacke, an old and distin guished officer of the Royal Marines, and one private of the Plover, who died from the effect of the sun, and I fear the army did not lose less than sixteen from the same cause. The movements were so entirely military that I can but ex?resi my admiration of the energy and ability with which they were conducted by my Gallant Col league, the General ; and it is with renewed pleasure that I again report the zeal and gallantry evinced by every officer and man of the Royal and Indian Navy and Royal Marines under my command, which has been equtaly manifested in bringing the fleet up this river, as in the subsequent operations on shore, in which they have been engaged. I inclose a list of the ships present in the Yang• tse- Keang, of the killed and wounded, and also of the names of the officers of the squadron who were from circum stances most conspicuously engaged on the 21st. It is unnecessary to speak further on the share which Captain Richards and his companions had in the assault on the outworks of the city; they will no doubt be pro perly appreciated by their Lordships. Lieutenant Ten nant, my Flag Lieutenant, took a prominent part in the attack of the Tartar troops in the city. Lieutenant Fitzjames (severely wounded), a highly de serving officer, has already distinguished himself on dif frrent occasions. _ _ Lieutenant Stoddart showed excellent judgment and good conduct in command of the flotilla of armed boats. Lieutenant Crouch, of the Blonde, I have already no ticed, and the steadiness of Messrs. Jenkins and Lyon, midshipmen of that ship, who were in the advanced boats is spoken of as highly creditable to them. Captains. Loch and Napier, R.N., who accompanied the expedition as volunteers, • also participated in the ac tive operations of the day. The loss of the land forces, I fear, is not less than 19 killed and 107 wounded in action, three missing, and 16 who died from the effects of the sun ; that of the Chinese must be immense, as, independently of those who fell , in action, incredible numbers of the Tartars (in some cases including whole families) have unhappily died by their own bands ; their force within the city is supposed to have amounted to three or four thousand. _ _ _ Twenty guns were mounted on the walls, which, with numerous jingalls, matchlocks, and other arms, and a considerable quantity of powder, have all been destroy d. About 50,000 dollars' worth of Sycee silver was also found in the treasury, which has been embarked. The troops intended for the operations higher up the river will be re-embarked as soon as possible, and, as the report of the navigation upwards is favourable, I trust the expeditionary forces will soon renew operations at Nankin, if not arrested by overtures fur peace from the Chinese Government, which may be consistent with the terms intimated by her Majesty's Government.—l have the honour to be, Sir, your most obedient humble servant, W. PARKER, Vice-Admiral. To the Secretary of the Admiralty.

GENERAL MEMORANDUM. The Commander-in-Chief has the high gratification of announcing to the squadron and transports under his orders, that the treaty of peace between Great Britain and China has now been happily signed, the Emperor's assent to its provisions being likewise received, the blockade and interruption of the Chinese trade and com munications are to be immediately discontinued within the rivers and on any part of the coast of China. The officers arc expected to exert themselves to pre vent the slightest cause of offence or disagreement, to, or with the natives, with whom it is hoped the most friendly intercourse will be hereafter observed during the continuance of the British forces in this country. W. PARKER, Vice-Admiral. To the respective Captains, Commanders, and Commanding Officers of her Majesty's ships and vessels, those of the Indian navy, and to the Agents and Masters of Trans ports. [To be Continued.] SURCHARGES UNDER THE IN COME-TAX. The extravagant and uncalled-for surcharges now made tinder this impost by the Income-tax Commis sioners or their agents, are causinggeneral dissatisfac tion. Reference to past documents, relating to the time when this noxious tax was first put into force under Mr. Pitt, only show, that the British subject stands entirely unprotected. The statement and sig nature (X no man in the kingdom is respected, as if, putting principle and honesty out of question, the heavy penalties threatening him at the head of the paper on which he renders his return, were not of themselves sufficient to dragoon the most dishonest into truth. Mr. Pitt, in bringing forward his proposition for this tax, in 1799, stated at full, in the House of Com mons, the system upon which he considered it ad visable to proceed in the collection of the tax, the offi cers and machinery necessary to he employed in the task, together with the general order of proceedure. 'With regard to the matter of surcharges he expressed himself thus : " Individuals might also state in what they had been overcharged. If the Comm;gsioners should not be satisfied with the schedules given in, they should have, in that case, the power to proceed to examinations by oath ; but they should have no compulsory power to make a man answer. They, should neither have au thority to call for books, nor to examine any man's clerks or agents. If, however, the party examined should withhold any information on these points, it should rest with the Commissioners to form their own opinion, and their judgment should be final, un • less the party chose to appeal to the higher Court of the Commissioners. But even in that case no books or papers should be examined. If the party should be unwilling to produce those papers, he must acquiesce in the decision which the Commissioners should come to upon such other information as it might be in their power to obtain. Such information the Commissioners should be strictly sworn not to disclose, nor to avail themselves of it for any purpose separate from the execution of the Act. If, however, any information should be made, upon oath, which the Commissioners should think to be false, they might carry on a pro secution for perjury." We now proceed to notice an action brought by the Earl of Uxbridge, Messrs. Hughes, Williams, and Grenfell, plaintiffs, and proprietors of very extensive copper ccncerns, against one Teed, the defendant, an inspector of the duties on income and property in the City of London, for a wilful and vexatious surcharge made by him, in respect of the plaintiffs' returns and profits for the year. The matter came on for hearing in the Court of King's Bench, before the Commis sioners, on the Ist of Me-ch, 1810. The statement made on the occasion was, that Teed, the defendant, without any information or ground of surcharge, except the circumstance of plaintiffs having the year before, made a much larger return of profits, surcharged them the sum of 28,3571., several months after their returns of profits had been, upon examina tion, allowed by the additional Commissioners, and the amount of ten per cent. duty thereon being paid into the Bank, the inspector at the time he made such a surcharge having been also aware that Mr. Gren fell, one of the plaintiffs, had appeared before, and fully satisfied the Commissioners, previeusly to their passing the assessment upon which this surcharge was afterwards made. Upon hearing, however, before the Commissioners of appeal, the surcharge wag disallowed, and the plaintiffs, considering it a ques'aon of great public im port to ascertain by the decision of a court of law, whether the inspectors were justified in making sur charges, (as, observes the reporter of the case, is now by far too much the practice, without any ground of information for doing so, and taking the chance of putting a proportion of the surcharge into their own pockets, in event of its being 'n any degree disallowed), brought this action. It, however, appearing that one of the additional Commissioners had advised the defeniant to make the surcharge, the Court was of opinion that it removed from him all imputation of his having made the surcharge vexatiously, and the plain tiff 3 were of course nonsuited. It was, not withstanding, distinctly understood, that a sur charge made without any ground besides an inspec tor's own presumption is unwarrantable, and would be deemed vexatious. From this decision it would appear that the subject is not protected by the existing law against a false surcharge, provided the inspectir acts under the ad vice, or at the suggestion ef-any one of the Commis sioners, notwithstanding the assessment having been made by the Commissioners before whom an investi gation respecting the same had previously taken place. Mr. Horne Tooke's reasoning on this subject, as conveyed in an answer of his to the' Commissioners of Income, upon their apprehending that his income was greater than sixty pounds, the sum for which he re turned, strongly expresses itself to the point, and ex hibits in a plain point of view the light in which an Englishman's word is to be taken, by these fiscal Judges :—" Sir," he writes in answer to the Commis sioners Clerk, in the year that the impost was laid on, " Sir, I have much more reason than the Commissioners can have to be dissatisfied with the smallness of my income. I have never yet in my life disavowed, _or had any occasion to re-consider, any declaration which I had signed with my name. ' But the Act of Parliament has removed all the decen cies which used to prevail between gentlemen, and has given the Commissioners (shrouded under the signature of their clerk) a right by law to tell me that they have reason to believe that lam a liar. They have also a right to demand from rne, upOn oath, the particular circumstances of my private situation. In obedience to the law, I am ready to attend them upon this degrading occasion, so novel to Englishmen ; and to give them every explanation and satisfaction which they may be pleased to require." SUGDEN v. BLACKBURN. — We do not understand the motives of the Mail for the malicious contrast it has drawn between the Chancellor and the new Master of the Rolls. There was a time when the Mail would have acted a very different part towards Mr. Blackburne, when that Right Hon. Gentleman spoke with voice potential at Dublin Castle. But let that pass. We cannot, however, but admit that this very early condemnation of a solemn decision of the present Master of the Rolls—a man who enjoyed so very tip top a reputation at the Bar, and who is regarded as a Solon amongst the equity lawyers—has come upon us quite by surprise, the more .so, as the Rolls' Court, during the incumbency of the late lamented Judge who presided there, had become celebrated for the dis cretion and completeness of his judgments. On this subject we recollect a very remarkable statement made by Mr, Ford, at the recent meeting of the Irish solicitors, who assembled to consider the. most fitting mode of exhibiting their reverence for the memory of Sir Michael O'Loghlen—" In the space of five years and a half (said Mr. Ford) that he presided in the Court, he disposed of upwards of twenty-five thousand dif ferent matters. He pronounced more than that num ber of orders, and out of that number there were only twenty appeals from his decisions. On the hearin g those appeals, f our t ee n o f his orders were affirmed, three varied in part, and three only reversed, and one of these on a communication he himself made to the Appellant Court, on the re-consideration of the case." ,Evening post, THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 25, 1842. cz ' 2 31 , 4.1 U 4,ott SUN-OFFICE, Seven o' Clock.

The largest measured five feet in length. A few sharks, of the flat -nosed species, have, from time to time, been caught on this coast ; but, in the present ease, all th . e sharks taken were of the long-nosed or voracious kind,—Aberdeen VICE-CHANCERY.—(THIS, DAY.) (Before the VICE-CHANCELLOR of EN'GIAND.) The Court was occupied to-day in taking Motions. ' The following application excited considerable interest : WOOD PAYING..—COUNT DE LISLE A - ND OTHERS V. SAUNDERS. This was an application by Mr. TORIANO, on the part of the plaintiffs, Count de Lisle and others, for an injunction against the defendant, Saunders, chemist, of Windmill-lane, Camberwell, to restrain him from using and applying to the pUrpose of paving public thoroughfares with wood, a certain kind of block, which it was contended was a piracy and infringement of a patent granted to the defendants. The original inventor of the block for which the pa - tent was granted was Count de Lisle, a native of France, and by him conveyed to a person named Hodgson, one of the present plaintiffs. The plan of the Count de Lisle is that used by the Metropolitan Wood-paving Company, under a license from the original inventor and patentees. This plan is the bisection of a cube of wood, laid down in a certain combination of the angles, and this mode of dividing and laying down the blocks had, been closely copied by the defendant. Specimens of each plan were ex hibited in Court, accompanied by numerous plans and drawings of sections. Mr. WAKEFIELD, on the part of defendant, con -1 tended that no infringement whatever of the patent had taken place.; his client had only done what every one had a right to do ; he had gone to a timber mer chant and bought blocks of a certain shape, and put them together according to his own patent, bearing date subsequently to that of the plaintiffs. By this plan a perfectly horizontal platform was produced without an arch, and this was claimed by the plaintiffs as a novelty, when the same thing could be done by three other patents, viz., those of Geary, of Steed, and of Carew, all dated prior to that'of plaintiffs. Another important part of• the plan was the combination of the sections ; but laying down the blocks in that manner could not be called an infringe ment. If any parties were entitled to complain it was not the plaintiff's, but the Metropolitan;Wood paving Company. It appeared from the affidavit of Mr. Virtue, that the blocks were imported from Nor- Way, and part of them purchased by the Metropolitan Company, but it was found that they were not properly made, and they were altered for the purposes of the Company. Other blocks of the same sort were sold to the defendant, and by him laid down according to his combination, so that from this it appeared that the blocks themselves were not identical. The form of . these blocks could not be , a patent, since the form itself must be as old as the creation ; nor could the mode of laying them down be called an infringement. These . grounds were quite sufficient to warrant the Court in refusing the injunction.. - His HONOUR said a case had been shown quite suf ficient to - justify an injunction. The essential matter in Hodgson 's patent was the particular mode of cutting the cube so as to produce a figure necessarily cf a definite shape, as the angle must always be the same. The defendant's block, exhibited beside that of the plaintiff, appeared to correspond ex actly—to be in fact - the same thing.. Then the question ww. whether that which was called an improvement, was not, in fact, a colourable mode of invading the plaintiffs' patent. To some extent a question of right to the patent was involved. He should grant the injunction, with liberty to the defen dant to bring such an action as he might be advised. Several other motions of no particular interest were disposed of. This is the last day of Term, and the Court does not sit again till the 3d of December. BAIL COURT.—(THIS DAY.) WEEKS V. PUSINEY. Mr. JAMES moved for a rule to shew cause why the proceedings, judgment, and writ of execution, should not be set aside, and the money returned to the defendant ; and why the costs of the motion should not be paid by Mr. Hamer. The facts of the case as disclosed by the affidavits were these :—Mr. Pusiney is an attorney, residing at Stockbridge, and was en gaged as the election agent of Lord Hunting tower, who offered himself as a candidate for the borough of Andover. In consequence of Lord Hnnt ingtower not being of age, Lord William Paget be came a candidate, and he and Mr. Hamer, an attor ney, came to Andover in June, 1841. When at Andover they found there was no money to mat the election expenses, and a private meeting was held to devise means for procuring the necessary funds. At this meeting Hamer proposed that a bill of exchange for 4501. should he drawn by Mr. Pusiney, accepted by Lord Huntingtowcr, endorsed by Lord William Paget, and that he would take it to London and get it cashed, and return next day to Andover. The parties agreed in this arrange ment, and Mr. Hamer left for London, but did not return as he promised, to Andover. Mr. Pusiney heard nothing, of the bill till May, 1842, when an application for payment was made to him by Mr. H. Valiance In consequence of this Mr. Pusiney called upon the plaintiff to explain to him the hardship of the transac tion, when he discovered that he was not a bona fide holder of the hill, and was not the real plaintiff at all. When the bill became due it was dishonoured, and notice of dishonour was given, which was stated to be written by .Hamer himself, at his own office, he having forged the name of Cassidy and Co., bill brokers, residing in Bucklesbury, from whom it was stated to have come. The affidavits of Lord Hunting tower and Lord W. Paget corroborated these facts. Affidavits were also read from two persons named Reading and Winter, stating that Weeks, the plain tiff, 'was formerly a waiter, living . at No. 11, St. James's-square, and afterwards in Pall-mall ; and that he now kept a low gambling-house, and was not a person in circumstances likely to be come a bona fide holder of. the bill in question, and that Hamer was in the habit of using his name as a sham plaintiff.—Rule granted. THE QUEEN V. CONSTABLE. Mr. Bonmy moved for a certiorari to remove the indictment in this case from the Central Criminal Court into the Court of Queen's Bench. The indict ment was against a highly respectable lady for a for cible entry, connected with the service of an attach ment issued out of the Court of Chancery, and several important points would arise, upon which it was desirable to obtain the decision of the Court of Queen's Bench.—Application granted. . TIIE QUEEN V. MARTIN. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL moved for a rule calling on the defendant to show cause why he exercised the office of Councillor for the borough of Leeds. It ap peared that at the last election for the borough there were five candidates for the West Ward, and the state of the poll at its close was Craven, 585 ; Brandley, 547 ; Martin, 543 ; the other two candidates being still lower on the poll. The asses sors, however, struck off, without any examination, five votes from the poll of Mr. Brandley, on the ground that those five voted at the previous election in 1841, for another ward, there being no new revision of the burgess roll in the meantime. Another ground for the rule was that a voting paper with the name of a person named Baxendel . was counted for Martin. There was an affidavit from Baxendel, stating that he was not in Leeds at all at the time of the election. —Application granted. COMMON PLEAS.—(THIS DAY.) (Continued from our Afternoon. Edition.)
