COURT OF CHANCERY, Nov. 28. nx-rAR'i'F. sictioLL re slintWOOD. . • - Mr. HARt stated, that this Was the petition of Mr. Nicholl„ the guardian, praying that his Lord.; shin would be pleased to give some further dime tiOns respecting the education and maintenance of the infant. llis Lordship had ordered him to be sent to the University of Cambridge ; but he had not been there above a fortnight when be left it, saying that he did not like a college life. HiS guardian was now at a loss what to do with bimi but he prayed that the expellees of his mainte nance might be allowed, till hie Lordship's order was pronounced. The Lotto CH4NCELLOR said, that if this young Gentleman was so soon dissatisfied with a college life, it would he difficult to find ‘vhat mode of life might be agreeable .to him. He had been sent to the University, at his awn regnest, and had made thelairest promises to his Lordship, to con duct himself with the utmost propriety. His Lordship could not send hint back, as he had no• power to order the college to receive him again ; brit if he could find a person who Would under take to controul his conduct, he would immedi ately make an order to that effect, - The brayer of the petition vas then granted. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Nov. 21. NITAIDER. THE: KIM; V. THOMAS. Mr. TOPPING and Mr. LAWES Sbewed cause again,t a Rule, obtained by the Attorney-Gene= mai, for a Certiorari to remove an indictment agaitot the pi inner for wilfnl 'murder, front the jurisdiction of the Corporation of the city of Ro- , ehester into this Court, in order to be tried by a Jury of the county of Kent. It be recollect• ed that the prisoner, a marine on board one.of his Majesty's ships paying off at Chathani in Au gust' list, had shot the deceased, who was ap proaching the ship in a shore boat, as was sup posed for some improper purpose The ground of the application Was, 'that the pt ironer was not likely to have a sati4actory trial, from the pau city of freemen of the city who were entitled to sit on Juries, by reason of which. the prisoner could not have his proper number of challenges. Qn the part of the Corporation, affidavits were now put in by the Town Clerk and others, stating that the number of resident freemen was 400; that the pant , ..ei; in ordinary cases, usually con sisted of thirty jurymen, and that, on extraordi nary ones, the number was extended to fifty; that the deponents were not aware of any preju dices- existing against the prisoner; and they knew nothing: to the contrary but that the pri soner would have as far and impartial a trial in Rochester as any where else ; but that the Cor poration were indifferent upon the subject, and were ready to abide the decision of the -6 - iort.— Extracts of the eity's charters were introduced into the aCidavits, which declared that no Sheriff or JuStice of the county of Kent shall interfere Wifh the jurisdiction of the city. The ATTORNEY GENERAL, after repeating •the topiesiviticiihe urged in support of the, motion originally, contended, that the charters did not, :lioweeer, take aw-4 the right or the Crown to interpose its prerogative when it saw Et. 'Pie Court were clearly of opinion, that the Attorney General ha;' a right, upon motion, to the certiorari, and also to a habeas corpus, to I►rin,2 up the body of the priso►►er, to be tried at b:tr. This was clear upon the authority of 14 lien. VI. c. I. and of the cases ►mentioned in Male's Pleas of the Crown, 2 C. 52 ; but Whether the record_ shmild be afterwards tried at nisi Arius, depended upon the pleasure of the Attor►►ey General, the Court for the present having nothing to do With that Tiestion.—Rule absolute: BATES V. WINSTANLEY. This case was argued at some length the course of the tel It respected the jut isdiction o f the Magistrates of the county of Leicester over the South Fields, a district claimed to be rateable by the Magistrates of the Borough of Leicester. The Chief justice this day delivered the opinion of the Court, going over the 'various chatteri and statutes cited in the course of the argument, and deciding, that the South Fields by law might be rated by the Magistrates of the county, and consequently that the disttess in this case had been properly taken.—Judgment of non suit. NOTICE TO THE PROFESSION. Lord Ei.LeNuottouon gave notice, that die Court would sit at Sedeant'slun nail, Chancery lane, on,Monday, the 15th of January, 1816, to dispose of the new trials moved for in the present Term, and to bear the remaining special ai.gq- SCOTCH BANKRUPTS.

Mr. Serjeant BEST, who was on the other side, said, that he had also instruments in Court tet support his case. The Learned Chief on the Bench instantly remorked—" Then, Bro thers, it should' seem this Is quite a case of ihstru ments." A band of foreign robbers, said to be 50 or GO in number, have committed several crimes in the V a llais. :Six of these wretches have been lately taken, and ,the police is in pursuit of the other.

CORONER's INQUEST . . A Coronet's I nque ,v4, 4 i, on Monday takentOsfore GEottdc I.IODGsoN, Ls+ one of the Coroners for the county of Middlesex, and a Jury of the re spectable inhabitants of Kentish Tow'u, on h View of the remains Of the late THOMAS CAR-rwrIGHT SLAcx, Esq. and Sarah Borrel, his cook-maid, who perished in the fire at Kentish Town, on Fri -day mot fling. The first witness called was Mr. R. Tate, jun. who deposed, that he was a resident in the house of his father, next door to Mr. Slack's ; that be 'was first alarmed by the cry of fire, at about half past two 'on Friday morning. He immediately proceeded to Mr. Robinson's door, where he ob served Mrs. Slack, her sister, and some other fe males,: he had first entrusted the care of his own family to his elder brother, as his father was out of town. Mrs. Slack said, that one .of her children,. Eliza, was missing, and all were safe but that child. Un hearing Mrs. Slack scream, the deceased made his appearance,•but whence he cattle witness knew not ; he immediately rushed to his own door, and called for a light. Witness returned to his father's house, where he met one of his - servants . , from whom he snatched a 'lan te'rn, and followed Mr. Slack into the house. - Mr. Slack exclaimed, " bring a light, for God's sake!". Witness followed him within a couple of steps of the first landing ; the smoke'was so dense, that the lantern would not afford the least light : wit ness was nearly suffocated by the smoke, and re treated down stairs, but kneW not how :---lie saw, no more of the deceased afterwards. The child was subsequently rescued, but it might be after tile lapse of 20 minutes. Fie did not know the cook, nor any of the eircunhtances relative to her unhappy late. ACcordiog to his opinion, Slack must have perished five minutes -aftentards from suffocation. No exertion was wanting' on the part of the 'neighbours, or any person, to render every assistance possible. Miss Rebecca Grainge deposed, that she was a ward of the deceased, and a resident - in his house ;' she was called out of Litt' I .ti - :ti-room at (she was informed) abont.two'Welock on Friday morning ; she immediately- went to the nursery - to the chil dren, and she Was there informed that the Chim ney - was on fire; she took sine 'of the children in her arms, and proceeded °tit of the• house ; she went to Mr. - Robinson's and went into the- bed room, where she Mr. R. ; she did not of her own knowledge knoW where the child was that was Missing ;. she did - not know who saw the cook last ; the child's legs and arms were scorch ed, but her shift was not somuch as singed ; there was nothing before the laundry fire, no clothes or any thing else hanging to air; iu the course of the preeHing evening the Ii mily,bad been burn ing some green wood in tho fire, which occasion ed a slight smoke in the roam, but they thought nothing of that, nor was that, in. witness's opi nion, the occasion of:the fire : Mrs. Newel told !beta to look it there .. was any tire ; -they did, and there was nothing of the kind; the family,retited to rest at about eleven os.elock; ,it teas the. con smut custom of Mr. Slafsk to go down end see that all the tires-.were before-he is tired to rest ; there teas not an onosually large firecio.the preceding evening in any of the fire-places that witss was aware of. Thomas -----,'was coachman to th . e deceased, and slept in the at tic story at the top of the house. Ile and the f.;'artletier a et e called ,by their master about two o'clock On Ft idayniorning, anti in formed there was ay tire in the house. Witness immediately came_down, and went into the din ing -parlour, and there was a Lire at the left hand side of thr fire-place, and it was working towards the partition ‘vhieli divided the diTling 7 room freta the drawing-room. It was not thett iu flames. Tht y ran down to the kitchen to Kct water, mid on their return they could not get_ into the room for the tire. There was a. hole shy. the chimney in the ceiling of the kitchen. Witness conceived that the lire originated from a beam of the parlour floor going into the chimney and catching fire. Mr. Slack then went to 'the door, and called out- - --- " Watch I" and " fire and told them for God's sake to run tip stairs, and save the family. Both witness and gardener then went tip stairs for the family. The females were altogether,on the top landing-place., Witness assisted Mrs. Slack and the children down stairs. They leaned against the wall in the lane for a time,and then went to Mr. R obinson's. They then looked round for the family, and missed the infant Eliza and the cook. Mr. Slack called out to know if the child was toned and Mrs. Slack * replied " No." This was after any assistance was possible to be rendered by the ap plication of water. Mr. Slack called for a light, and went into the house. Witness did not see his master after that. Ladders .were then applied to the windows, and Witness ascended and burst open the shutters, and beard his • master calling out for help, and the child. The voice appeared to be iu the upper part of the house. Ile called Out " For God's sake, 1:41) me !" There were doors at the top of the house. Mr. - Gardner came round to witness, and told him that the child was on the stairs in the front part of the house. The child was sitting on the stairs, about seven steps up. Lewis \Veber rushed in, and witness fol lowed him : in coming out, the floor gave way, and Weber fell in up to his knees : witness pull ed him, with the child, out by the shoulders, and supposps that he himself must have been standing on one of the joist,s . . There was no fire in any . other place but that place by the kitchen chits-.` ney, which went through the parlour floor. Wit ness heard the cook say " What is the matter?" but knows nothing of her loss. Every possible and, useful service was rendered by the neigh bours. Witness saw the remains, which the Jury had viewed, digged from the ruins ; they were about three feet asunder. There was an ironing stove, but not in the part of tliC house where the fire took place. The body, which was supposed to be Mr. Slack's, was found not three inches from whence witness conceives he fell, after hang ing on the balustres ; he must have been a corpse then. Mathias Archibald Robinson, Esq. deposed, tliat he lived next door but one to the deceased, and %vas alarnied by a knocking at his door, and ringing 4t the bell. ; at about two, o'clock on Fri dly On hip ite . fting tip, lie fo ' lll slack, tvith the terndle part tuc f' o some ofliis children, at•his lie too': in, and after he bad rendered ever-v. as,stance to them', went to the house. the three (14 0.- ters of an hour alter, the fire eoinwelfzed: .there WaS not even aheat in the-kiteheu.
