It was also corroborated by an endorse ment on the back of the note, which, if it were not the hand writing of Mr. Sims, added to the guilt of the parties the crime of forgery.

CONSIT, IN RI: I.E. A BANICREPT. This was a petition from an assignee, under a joint and seve ral commissions of bankrupt, to be releazed front one of his as- B ign e eships, in consequence of some remarks made by the Lord Chancellor in a recent cause impeaching the property of this kind .of double trust. The petition lies over till the hearing of some other matters which are pending in the same bankruptcy. WRITES %%AIMEE. Mr. SmAnwELL obtained permission to have the service of attachment for default of answer enlarged till Tuesday next, as it appeared that the defendant had answered to the full ness of his ability—and that the defect complained of could only be supplied by his wife, from whom no answer could be obtained until the Court co u ld se l ect some method of guardian ship under which she might appe a r suit a bl y the Court. to the forms of VICE CHANCELLOR'S COURT, Nov. 11. Ilis ilosoo it heard cases, none of which were of public in. terest. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Nov. 11. CRIPPS V. SMITH AND OTHERS. This was an action by an elderly lady against three defend. ants, Smith, Taggart, and Bascomb, on a promissory note for 701., bearing date In the year 1016. The endorsements on the note were in the handwriting of Smith ; and the .lur', believ ing the whole to be a contrivance of SMith to obtain money from the other parties, returned a verdict for the defendants. Mr. GURNEY now said he was requested by the plaintiff; Who was a poorwoman, to mention the case to the court. Ile was not himself at the trial, and therefore did not know exactly what had been proved. The LORD CIIIEF JUSTICE said, he believed some entries were produced, to show the advance of money by Smith to the others, which excited great surprise in Court, from the manner in which they were interlined.. Was any gentleman present who had been in the cause Mr. CHITTY rose, and said that he had been present, and recollected that Mr. Scarlett, who led the defence, discovered that the water-mark of the paper on which the entries were written was of a date subsequent to the time when they put. ported to be made. Mrs. Cripps herself rose, and whispered to Mr. Gurney. Mr. GURNEY said, the plaintiff' was a very poor woman, who complained that she had not had justice. • The Loan Curt, .luirrnic.—Some people are disposed to think they never have justice when they fail; I hope, and be lieve that full justice was done. Mrs. Cripps then herself addressed the Court, and ascribed the failure of her cause to the absence of Mr. Gurney. Mr. Gt.III24EY said, the case was conducted by Mr. Mar ryatt, which was much to the benefit of the plaintiff. Mrs. Cripps then addressed the Court with much volubillity, declaring that the entries were produced not as orlinals, but rt t l i t l n a i t ty th o e f t w her itn a els ru cs le, w to er g e iv n e o t t he h m ear an d ; op a po n C p ' ro ou v r i t n o g u i g ier ht c to grant as copies ; thatlz The Loin) Ci t tEr JUSTICE.—After what w as prove d i n this case, we can have little faith in what mi g h t h ave b een proved.

This was an action of trover, brought by the executor of John Sims deeense.d, to rea.vver the value of a p romissory note fur 1001., which h ad belonged to the testator. Mr. Sims, the deceased, was a man who died at an .advanc e d age, after ac quiring considerable property, in the City of O x f ord, The wife et. the defendant was li vi ng with him a s a servant, or at tendant, at the time of his death, and claim e d the note as a &math) mertir causa. On her part, three witnesses, members of her family, were called, who all swore that the old man asked for the box where hit securities were deposited, from which he took the note and gave it to Mrs. Cox, saying, " If I recover, yuu must return this to me; but if I die, you are to keep ft." On the part of the plaintiff, it was proved that the old man, being asked a little before his death b y a friend if b e had given a note to Mrs. Cox, answered in the negative. The Learned Judge, Mr. Justice Littledale, left the case to the Jury, who found a verdict for the plaintiff Mr. l'ausyrosr now moved for a new trial, on the ground that the verdict was against evidence. If the witnesses for the defendant were believed, the case was clear; and there was no variation in their testimony, except that one represented the gift as made before tea, and another after, Their testimony It will be recollected, that this was an action by Colonel Bradley against Colonel Arthur for false imprisonment, which was tried at the last sittings in London before the Lord Chief Justice.the imprisonment Tl r e were a by yeat the number inmilitary of justify ingC olonc Arthur, on which i siate s were taken ; and, after which; the ry plaintiff had further new assigned that the defendant- hail imprisoned him for a longer period than the occasion, if authorizing the. arrest at an, would justify. It appeared in evidences that Colonel-Arthur' .was, qa..theltird Jttly,jit 4, appointed by the Duke of MancliestfOhen Orseilhar etyle:e maica, Superintendent of the Settlement of Honddas. On the following day, being then Colonel of the York Chasseurs, quartered at Quebec, he received a commission from General Fuller, the commanding officer on the station, authorizing him to command such of his Majesty's subjects as then were armed, or as thereafter should arm themselves in defence of the settlement. Under this commission he continued to act, until the regiment of York Chasseurs was reduced to half pay. Upon this, Colonel Bradley conceiving that Colonel Arthur had ceased ipso facto to be a soldier, and that conse quently his military authority ceased, claimed, as the superior oflicer, to command the garrison, and refused to obey Colo nel Arthur. For this disobedience he was put under arrest, and detained for 291 days; during 210 of which the arrest was open, and for the residue close. Sir Henry Torrens anti Sir Herbert Taylor were examined, and gave their opinion that Colonel Arthur continued to be the superior officer on the stations notwithstanding the reduction of his regiment. The Lord Chief Justice gave his opinion, that in point of law Colonel Arthur had authority to order the arrest of Colonel Bradley, but left the Jury to determine, on the new assign ments, whether the imprisonment was excessive. Under this direction, the Jury found a verdict for the defendant on the special pleas, and for the plaintiff' on the new assignments, with 1001. damages. Mr. 131ton - turas' now, on the part of the plaintiff, moved for a rule to show cause why there should not he a new trial, on the ground that the direction of the Lord Chief Justice as to the validity of the justification was wrong. He grounded his motion on three distinct propositions—first, that the Crown had no power to delegate the right of granting military com missions ; secondly, that if the Crown possessed that nen, it had never actually delegated such power to General h uller ; and, lastly, that if it possessed, and had delegated the power, General Fuller had not exercised it by the commission granted to the defendant. And first, he would contend, though it was not necessary to his case, that the Crown itself possessed no right of delegating to another the power of granting commis sions. He denied any power excepting that of the Crown to make a man a soldier, and clearly no such power had been exercised on the present occasion. Mr. Justice Bay LEv.--Was the commission to • General Fuller produced? • Mr. Blum fiAM.—No, my Lord, it was not produced ; and if it had been, the Court would have seen at once that it dole gated no such power. The idea that commanders of districts may grant commissions, has excited very considerable alarm ; and perhaps I have said enough in a case so important to entitle me to a rule. If the Court think not, I ant prepared to go fur ther—to show that when Colonel Arthur was reduced to half pay, he ceased to be a military man, or amenable to military discipline ; but probably I have said enough to induce the Court to put this important question in a train for further in quiry. In the case of Captain Ross, it was decided by all the twelve Judges that a half-pay officer is not liable to be tried by a court-martial. Mr. Justice BAYLE Y.-But he is not obliged to give up his half-pay under the insolvent debtors' act : for it is not only a reward for past, but a retainer for future services. Mr. BRcitinnaNt.—lf a half-pay officer be summoned to active service, and refuse, he cannot be tried by a court martial. The Lonn Cuter .11 , sirtcs:.—No ; but the King may strike him off the half-pay list for his refusal. Mr. BROUGHANI.—.And so he may whether he refuses or not. The Learned Counsel then proceeded to remind the Court, that it' necessary he would argue that the Crown itself could not deligate, and had not delegated, to General Fuller the right of granting a military command. Mr. Justice BaYeEv.—.Chan, supposing in any colony there should happen not to be a number of troops sufficient for any emergency, and other persons are disposed voluntarily to serve, the King must be deprived of their services, because no one on the spot can grant a commission ? The 14011 D CHIEF JUSTICE.—The question on the trial was, whether the defendant was authorized to conduct himself' as he did towards the plaintiff. Mr. Ilitouottast—lf your Lordship is going to decide against me, I must beg to he heard further. I thought it was understood at the trial that I should move the Court, or tender a hill of exceptions. I was invited by your Lordship to tender a bill of exceptions. The Loan CHIEF JUSTICE—Then I will state the nib. stance of what passed at the trial, and my Learned Brothers will judge whether you should take a rule, or proceed further. His Lordship then stated the evidence given at the trial, and repeat ed his opinion that it proved an authority in Colonel Arthur to arrest the plaintiff. Mr. BROUGHAM proceecied. The evidence of the military men—most respectable as they undoubtedly were—went only to matters of opinion ; and that opinion involved matter of law, not local or foreign law, but constitutional law, on whi c h thi s Court alone could decide. If required to argue that no mill tary commission could be granted by a subject, his only diffi culty would be the absence of precedent, fot the case had never arisen ; no one had ever been wild enough to suppose that any but the King could grant commissions. The recognition of Colonel Arthur's authority could make no difference, if there wax no power in the Crown to delegate it; they amounted to nothing but the erroneous opinions of individuals, and did not carry the case one step further. The evidence of the two an cent contained doctrines which contradicted each other; for they admitted that a half-pay officer was not amenable to martial law, and yet they asserted that he, by virtue of his military character, continued to retain a military command. Mr. s also r it a t Justice c en t n i l o t B n tohfA o eY l 7f h to irc:coYelrsoeTg"iiiisn, he to n i fba frith aae n another military q te a il nto r t aft e nh r i o ii t ep i s el)sogi comma ndtbtle asuperinppointed by the of which he is ignorant ? Mr. Bnoutmast—And that evil is felt and provided for, by immediately sending out another commission, when it hap pened. Of this there are numerous instances. Mr. Justice BAY LEY.—But here the defendant rests not merely on his commission from General Fuller, but on that from the Duke of Manchester. Mr. BROUGUAK.—Nnt so, my Lord: the commission from the Duke was only mentioned to be dismissed—it could do no thing—the whole case was bottomed on the commission from General Fuller, which alone could give a military command.— But what did that commission effect ? Nothing clearly, if it did not proceed from n- delegated power, of which, if it could exist by law, no proof was given. It was difficult to conceive how officers could draw their pay, unless appointed by the Crown. The officers in the North American Colony, and those of the East India Company, though the latter hail commissions from the King, were allowed to take rank only by virtue of express provisions in the articles of war. Without those,pro visions, they would not be amoebic to military law, or entitled to military powers. Mr. Justice BaYLEv.—ls not a commandant, as such, amenable to martial law ? Mr. BROUGHAM.—Certainly, when he has a commission from the Crown; but not when he is a mere civil officer, who, having been a soldier, has ceased to be so by the reduction of his regiment. The LUSH CHIEF JUSTICE (Mr. Justice flolroyil having left the Court) said, I am given to understand my brother Lit tledale will decline giving any opinion on this question, and my brother liohoyd is gone. Would the Attorney-General object to have the facts brought before us in a special case ? The ATTOHNEY-UENERAL said be would consider of the suggestion, and inform the Court. The Lour) Clime JtrsTreE (to Mr. Broughani).—Vour argument goes the length of maintaining that Colonel Arthur To-day, the counsel for Mr. Palling addressed the Court, ob serving that he was not present on t'he last court-day, when a statement had been made to the Court by a learned gentleman, calculated very much to prejudice the interests of his He was now instructed by Mr. Chas. Fenton, the proctor fur Mr. Palling, to bring in an affidavit, signed by three persons (the landlady, a friend, and the solicitor of the party), together with several exhibits and certificates, as to the condition of Mr. Palling's mind, signed by Dr. Burrows, M.D4 and by Mr. Fletcher, the surgeon. This affidavit was read. The lady at whose house the party had lodged for a considerable time, de posed that he had always, and in every respect, conducted him self as a person of sound mind and understanding. A gentle man who had been acquainted with him for the last three years deposed to the same effect, adding, that one Mrallett, the keeper of an establishment at Battersea for the reception of lunatics, under whose care Mr. Palling had been onceplaced by his father, had recently met deponent, and informed him that Mr. Palling was as well as himself or deponent either. Mr. Law rence, of Doctors'-Commons, the gentleman's attorney, also de posed to several instructions which he had received from Mr. Palling in respect to effecting what lie knew to have been his father's intentions in favour of a particular individual, dec., and to his (Mr. Lawrence's) belief of the perfect soundness of 111 r. Palling's mind. Documents were then read ; the first being a letter from Wallett, dated in the beginning of July last, and addrasied to Mr. Palling, the deceased, requesting him to re. move his son from his care, as he could not feel justified in re taining him any longer. The second was a letter from and to the same, dated the 211th of July, 1024, preferring the like re quest, but in still more urgent and pressing terms. The third was a certificate from Dr. Burrows, certifying his opinion of Mr..l. 0. Palling's sanity of mind, and dated 9th of Novem ber, 1024. The fourth, a similar certificate from Mr. J. b'letchcr, surgeon. Sir Joitti N wator.t. was about to permit the letters prayed to pass the seal, when The adverse counsel stated, that the widow and aunt now gave an appearance in the cause, and prayed the Court's grant to be made to her for the use and benefit. of Mr. Palling. If Mr. Palling had produced a certificate from Dr. Powell, under whose sanction he had been first placed at Battersea, he (De.; Lushington) would not for a moment object to th e l e tter s b e i ng granted - to him, as the son of the deceased, in the usual way ; but, on the contrary, the learned counsel con t inued, h e now held in his hand a certificate, signed but yesterday, by Dr. Powell, which, with the Court's permission, he would read. The counsel for Mr. Palling objected ; inasmuch as the sug gestion thrown out by the Court on the last Court day had been already complied with. It was extremely prejudicial to this gentleman's interests, and very cruel to his feelings, that. most unfounded assertions respecting the state of his mind had already found their way to the public. lie was in his Majesty's service, mid on half-pity. Nothing could be more expresti than the language of the certificates that had been brought in by his proctor. Sir Join( NICITOLL admitted that it was a cruel thing that Mr. Palling's sanity should be questioned in this manner, par ticularly if, as the Court did not doubt, he had now quite re covered from any affection whatever of the mind. But it was an equally cruel case with any individual, who, being of sound mind, was nevertheless driven, as often occurred to establish his sanity by legal evidence. The best thing Mr. Palling could do would be to submit to an interview with Dr. Powell for, as he had once been confined, it was prima fiteie a ground f the present application ; and as the lady, who ,was his relation, could have no personal interest in the success of her prayer— which was only to administer for this gentleman's use' and benefit—the Court would certainly feel reluctant to grant letters to him under the present circumstances of the case. At the same time, if the averments which had been made in respect to Mr. Palling's mental incapacity should not be proved, the Court would condemn the party snaking them in Nos : if they should be proved, then it would decree the letters, limited " fo r the use and benefit of Mr. Palling," to the party so applying for them—namely, his aunt. Counsel then stated that Mr. Palling was now in Court, and would most readily consent to any examination: Dr. Powell might think proper to make into the state of his mind. The other side said, that in that case, undoubtedly, if Dr. Powell would give a certificate of a nature to establish the gen_ tleman's sanity, he would pledge hinisennmediately to with. draw all further opposition. Thus the matter stands over to next Court-day. 111IDDIAESEX SESSIONS, Nov. 11. This day the sessions were held pursuant to adjournment, to dispose of the cases which had been traversed at the last sessions. William Danger was indicted for assaulting William Ha. zard. The parties were mere lads. - The prosecutor stated, that he was one evening, at the end of October, proceeding very quietly along Brill-row, when he re ceived a blow on the right side of thehead. He turned round. to look for his assailant, but the latter, us if aware of his in tention, cunningly hit him in tho left eye with such force and precision, that the blow at once closed up that necessary organ, and lodged its possessor in the kennel, to the serious detriment of a new suit of clothes which lie had on. The prosecutor, however, had still one eye left, which enabled him to discover that it was the prisoner who used him so roughly. The prisoner, when called on for his defence, proceeded to tell his story. On the night in question he saw the prose. tutor walking arm-in-arm with a young lady, with whom he had " kept company" far a year and eight months, arid, as he im. agined, to some purpose. Many a lover under such circum. stances would have ventured upon some desperate net ; but be, fortunately was all self-possession, and contented himself with asking the prosecutor what business he hail with the lady. The prosecutor, in return, asked the prisoner what th at was to him. The prisoner, still all meekness, said, "it was something to him ;" whereupon the prosecutor inquired con. temptuously " How he could help himself?" Frotn worth they came to blows, but which struck first he could not for the life of him tell.
