MORNING SUTie44-rf time, else the country will receive a shock, for the cause of which it can only look to itself. ( Great cheering.) Gentle.. men, it has been said, and very likely with too good reason, that those who resist the alteration of the Corn-laws, and who most strongly uphold the present system of things, are the landed proprietors and the aristocracy of the country. Let me re mark to you, however, as belonging to that class, perhaps, that they are, although much, not altogether to blame. For we found, not long age, in a discussion on free trade in the House of Commons, that certain other monopolists were just as for ward as the monopolists of corn to maintain the present impo litic system.—( Hear, Lear.) For myself, I cannot see why the landed proprietors should dread the abolition of the Corn-. laws.—( Cheers.) I have looked to the question in all its various bearings. I have talked to pt:actical agriculturists on the question —to men who know what the capabilities of soil are, and what, too, are the capabilities of industrious and ac tive heads; and they tell me that, if we will leave them their own industry and energy free and unshackled, they will get on tolerably well, even although the Corn-laws are repealed. —(Hear,) I confess that I have derived some little satisfaction from a great agricultural meeting which was held lately in the county of Lincoln. I cannot say that I have received much satisfaction from its results ; but things took place at that meeting, where Mr. Christopher developed his plan of a reform of the Corn-laws, that have given me the greatest satisfaction. For when I read that he whom I had seen in the House of Commons, and other friends around me had seen, denouncing with the fiercest wrath, and the bitterest enmity, any who presumed to touch these sacred and inviolable laws; when I have seen that gentleman pour forth torrents of indignation against my friend, Mr. Villiers, I cannot but hail with some satisfaction the admission made to the Lincolnshire [farmers, in words admitting of no doubt, that the time had come when the voice of public opinion was not to be resisted, and a change must take place in the Corn-laws.—( Tremendous cheering.) This indeed is consolatory ; but as to Mr. Chris topher's plan, I think we may whisper to him that it is not the plan which public opinion will sanction.—( Renewed cheers.) Gentlemen, it is not for me to anticipate what her Majesty's Government purpose on this head ; but one channel into which I see their minds are running, and which I view, I confess, with some alarm, as tending rather to inflict injury in the country than to confer a benefit on it, is an extensive system of emigra tion.—( Hear, hear.) I object most solemnly to a wide door being thrown open, through which emi gra ti on can scarce l y b e said to be voluntary, but through which a starving populace, tempted by the magnitude of the plan, and the prosrect of the success held out to them beyond seas, shall be pushed into a system of expatriation, terminating not only in increased mi sery to themselves abroad—increased misery, because, termi nating not only with none of the advantag es they were led to expect, but with all the recollections of home and country hanging heavy at their hearts, when home and country are no longer theirs.—(Loud cheers.) Such a system is dangerous to the country, by removing only the healthy and able-bodied of our population, and locating them in the colonies, while we leave the unhealthy and the infirm to be maintained with a scanty population at home.—(Cheers.) I trust, therefore, the country will be on its guard apainst rushing into any extensive system of emigration. The 'Hon. Gentleman concluded by Pwing "Earl Fitzwilliam, with the Members of the House of eers who supported his motion for the consideration of the Corn-laws."—( The toast was drank with great cheering. ) The CHAIRMAN gave—" The deputations from various parts of Scotland, who have honoured us with their presence on this occasion, and Provost Bain, Greenock."—( Cheers. ) Provost BAIN, of Greenock returned thanks, and gave— " The Farming Tenantry of Scotland, and may they soon dis cover that they derive no benefit from the present Corn-laws." I understand there are several of this class in the meeting, and it is most gratifying to know that these gentlemen are at length beginning to see that they derive no benefit from the laws which press so severely on other portions of the community. Mr. SettouLL returned thanks on the part of the farmers, and detailed the more healthy feeling which was gaining ground amongst them : _ _ _ _ The Rev. Dr. HEUGH, after alluding to the Conference at Edinburgh, said—From that meeting I have returned with the conviction deepened, that the essential injustice of the Corn-laws in this country has taken such hold of the minds, the consciences,and the hearts, of the great body of the Scot tish people, ft.om the centre of the country to its utmost cir cumference, that they will not now cease from strenuous, de termined, but legal efforts, constitutionally, and therefore irre sistibly made, until the object they seek, and which they now feel they have the right rather to demond than implore, shall be triumphantly accomplished.—( Great cheering.) I have been requested to propose the following toast:—" That the Corn and Pravision-laws are producing a constant increase of immorality." If you rob one man, you treat him unjustly ; surely your conduct does not lose its cha racter when you extend your robbery to a hundred,?—(Hear, hear.) Ido not wish to use language unnecessarily severe ; but I cannot but regard these laws as constant infractions of the law of God, and as exposing the country to his righteous displeasure.—( Hear, hear.) But, Sir, if the laws are im moral, what but immorality can we expect them to pro duce ? But from tke great, the immorality of these laws is descending open the Floor ; they are rendering the people dis contented, restless, desperate ; they are giving,to the under stratum of British society the fearful character of a heated volcano, stirring its mighty fires for a vast heat—a terrific—a ruinous outburst. Sir, that is precisely the catastrophe which from our hearts we deprecate—which, with all the influence we can exert, in our persuasions of men, and in our prayers to Almighty God, we shall endeavour, while we live, to avert. But to our rulers we say, avert it else, work with us, give the people cheap food, do not dash the cup of hope from the lips of the famishing, the long-suffering people. We ask mo rality, we implore mercy, we demand justice—justice and mercy, which are the pillars of the throne of the Eternal, land which alone can give stability to ours.—(Loud applause.) The Rev. Mr. Low of Forfar, had been called upon to pro pose " The abolition of all selfish and class legislation. '— (Cheers.) He rejoiced that the day had come when such a sentiment could be proposed and responded to—not in a hole and corner way, as they knew the friends of civil and:religioue liberty were at one time necessitated to speak their conscien tious and heartfelt sentiments, but in a large and intelligent assembly like the present, resolved not to break their bonds of union till all the oppressed go free, and every shackle be broken. He trusted the toast which he had risen to propose would be echoed from this meeting to the city, from this city to another city, from one tovrd to another town, from one vil lage to another Tillage, from sine hamlet to another hamlet, and frein the stranger on the way to the stranger who payseth by, Rising no rest to those opposed to them till their objectwas reeiseil, and till every vestige of class legislation was for ever abolished.--(Cheers.) It could not be denied the evidence was accumulating every day they lived, that there was a spirit of discontent spreading through the land. This was a spirit which would spread rapidly. It prevailed at the present, and a very little might raise a torrent, that would bring down the throne itself, with the other institutions by which it wag sue. rounded and upheld. If they continued the cause, they must expect likewise to continue the effect, as selfish and data le gislation could not fail to produce discontent in the minds of those who were placed under its cruel and withering influence. All that he knew or had heard of her Majesty satisfied him, that she earnestly desired the prosperity and happiness of the nation, but still he would take the liberty of saying to her, as Mordecai answered the words of Esther—he said it not in a spirit of braving—not in a spirit of threatening, but with a strong desire for a continuation of the throne, and many of the excellent institutions of the country—( Hear, hear)—" Think not with thyself that thou shalt escape in the King's house, more than all the Jews. For if thou altogether heldeth thy peace at this time, then shall there enlargement and deliver ance arise to the Jews from another place ; but thou and thy father's house shall be destroyed ; and who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this."—( The close of the sentence was almost drowned with cheers and dis approbation, which continued for some time, and Mr. Low ulti mately gave the toast—" The abolition of all selfish and class legislation," without any further remarks. The toast was drank with great applause. ) Mr. P. M. SrICIVART, M.P., rose to propose the next toast, " The abolition of all colonial monopolies of sugar, coffee, and other tropical produce."--( Applause.) As a part and parcel of the general and universal principle of free trade, which they were met here to promote and to further, he gave this toast with every emphasis he could attach to it.— (Cheers.) He might say of our colonies that he himself would directly benefit by so beneficial a change, and that even the landed proprietors of this country must prosper in the re vival of our commerce and national prosperity.--( Cheers.) He never could comprehend the sentiment which embraced the foolish notion that the agricultural, commercial, or manufac turing part of the community could flourish, while the other classes were suffsring. His opinion was, that they must flourish or fade together, and, like our national emblem, the garland of the rose, the thistle, and shamrock, that they were bound by a union inseparable, at once the emblem of our na tional existence, and the token of our national strength.-- ( Loud cheers.) With these evidences of distress, any Go vernment that could assume a careless position under inch circumstances, must be compared, not to respectable citi zens, but to men like the Emperor of China, a Brother of the Moon—(Laughter)—who, far superior to all terrestrial com motion!, looked with unconcern at the fall of the stoutest of his places—saw the boldest of his soldiers running away that they " might live to fight another day"—and in Pekin dreamt of security—while our troops were at his door demanding re paration for the past, and security for the future--he main tained that as moonstruck must be that Minister who dreams, like his prototype, the Emperor of China, that he shall be able to uphold our commercial legislation, or save the erasure from the statutebook of this law, which pressed so heavy taxation on their suffering fellow-countrymen, and to denounce which was the main cause of their meeting this evening. Mr. Stewart concruded amidst thuoders of applause. Mr: R. Vir,it.i.Ace,'M.P., differed much from some of his Parliamentary friend's, who imagined that the Corn-laws would soon be repealed.' He did not think their object would be so easily attained: It was understood that whatever might be in the speeettLfroni,the Throne at the opening of Parliament, they (the Ceia;law vepealere) would be quiescent till after Easter, He, for.one, would. say no such thing. He would ray to them, he on tbe'watch-towers, for if their friends who were reckoned the most active did not bring forward their mo tion in the House of Commons, others would do it.—(Cheers.) They should give their enemy no res t. The y should be pre pared by the 3d of February, and give Sir Robert Peel no rest till he went to the church on Good Friday.—(Laughter and cheers.) This should be the tactics. He did not know what tactics had been definitely resolved upon with reference to the Antis Corn-law movement, but he for one would be in the right place on the opening of Parliament, and if he could, by hook or crook, he would for one break down the selfish system till it would never rise again. lie gave " A just and equal system of taxation."--(The toast was then drank with three times three and loud cheers.) The Hon. Fox NIA I/I,E, M.P., proposed the health of the Chairman, after a complimentary speech. Mr. Oswar.o, M.P., returned thanks. Mr. RUTH ER,FOII, D, after alluding to the Reform Act, said—The people of Scotland had already accomplished what was little short of a revolution, without crime or turbu lence, hut with sobriety and peace.—(Cheers ) It was im possible that truth should not prevail. It was impossible that a truth, which involved the peace of the empire at large, should not at last force its way into the minds of reluctant parties in the Legislature, till their cause was successful He said, let them profit from history, and from recent experience. Let them pursue the same course at present which they did ten years ago. Let them hold meetings. Let them exercise mu tual forbearance. Let them sacrifice minute differences of opinion. Let them not look behind, but press forward to the mark of then- calling, and the day would be theirs ; the tri• umph could not be far distant—(Great applause)—and, in ac cemplishinx, that object, another proof was added of the great truth of hit toast. that r the progress of knowledge was the o nly sufficient guarantee for the diffusion and pet manence of free institutions. —( Cheers.) Mr. A. G a arta.at was received with loud cheers. The aboli. tion of the timber monopoly, though it may prove a dry subject, is nevertheless a most important toast: at all events, I pro- mise not to occupy many minutes of your time. This mono poly has been principally instrumental in provoking the pre sent retaliative exclusion of British manufactures from all the timber-growing countries of Europe. It has also increased b y 100 per cent., or just doubled t he cost of t he raw material of the woodwork of all buildings, thereby adding_ one-fifth or 20 per cent, to the cost of their erection.—( Hear, hear.) In British built ships, the monopoly price of timber has been still more pernicious. A ship built at Leith costs 30 per cent. higher than a similar vessel built at Dantzic, and should we by the same rule measure the enhancement of the cost of all Bti tishtsuiltships, the amount of waste from this source would be enc'rzeons- • Thus.does this monopoly sit as commercial an incubus on our 'lt is thus that, We exhibit the inconsist ency of a nat i"l"utt.tt - ita..maritirtie wendanci—i nation •_. showing from generation to generation, as household words, the supremacy of its wooden walls, and yet cherishing a monopoly calculated to weaken their foundation.—( Loud cheering. ) Down, then, with this as with all other monopolies--they pa ralyze our internal industry, and limit oar foreign commerce-- they keep our currency and exchanges in a continual fever of fluctuation—they convert our corn trade into a system of jug gling and gambling speculation, and render our very subsist ence the sport of the elements—they make the representatives of the people be viewed by them as their oppressors, and accu mulate in the breasts of the poor towards the rich a mine of hatred, which threatens, like a volcano, to burst out and o verwhelm society—they forbid that daily breadifor which we are taught to pray, and blasphemously intercept the proffered bounties of Heaven. Mr. DUNCAN, M.P. for Dundee, gave " The Liberal Clergy of all denominations." It would be appreciated and responded to by men of enlightened and liberal opinions of all denominations. And they all knew, they daily taw the exer tions of that useful body of individuals, consoling the distressed and alleviating the woes of suffering humanity.—( The toast was responded to with three times three.) Mr. A. G. SPEIAS proposed " Equality of Civil Rights to all denominations." Mr. P. M. STEIcART then called upon the company to make a bumper out of their heel-taps, to a toast which he had to propose. He would remind thtm before they parted that they had their Vices, although they had been very complete that night, for amongst so many as two thousand persons there would be many vices. He would give them five vices—the five Vices-Chairmen--to whom they owed so much, namely, Messrs. Alexander Graham, Nt alter Buchanan, John Tennant, James Lumsdea, and William Gray.—( The toast was drank with all the honours.) Mr. LUMSDEN, in a short but :happy speech, returned thanks for himself and colleagues, and congratulated the com pany on the happiness they enjoyed, and on the prospect of good which was likely to result from the present meeting. The CHAIRMAN, in conclusion, proposed three cheers for the :total abolition of the Corn-laws, which was heartily respondedlito by the company. Three cheers were successively called for and given for the Queen, Prince Albert, and Mr. Fox Maule. The vast assemblage broke up with the greatest decorum and good feeling. THE KING OF PRUSSIA. On Saturday night two waggons, containing the bag gage of his Majesty the King of Prussia and of the Noblemen and Gentlemen constituting his suite, arrived from Ostend, and yesterday morning proceeded to Wind sor Castle. At an early hour, this morning, her Majesty's steamer Firebrand, Capt. Nott, R.N., commander, left Woolwich for Ostend, in order to convey his Majesty to this country. His Excellency Chevalier Bunsen, the Prussian Mi nister, will leave by the Firebrand for Ostend, to meet his Majesty, who is expected, to arrive there to-morrow. His Excellency will return in company with his Royal master, who is expected to land at Woolwich on Satur day, and from thence will proceed direct to Windsor Castle on a visit to the Queen, and not go to Bucking ham Palace for the night, as was originally intended. Baron Schlenitz, the late Prussian Charge d'Affaires and Baron Canitz, the Chief Secretary of the Legation, as also the Prussian Consul, will attend at Woolwich Dockyard to receive his Majesty. VISIT OF THE KING OF PRUSSIA AND KING OF BEL- GIUM TO ENGLAND. WOOLWICH, JAN. 15.—1 t was at first anticipated, when the intention of the King of Prussia to visit Eng land to witness the important ceremony about to take place at Windsor Castle was made known, that his Ma jesty would land at Woolwich owing to its vicinity to the metropolis and the great facilities her Majesty's steam-vessels have of reaching that great naval depot with ease and safety on all occasions. According to the arrangements, however, which are now in progress, the Royal personages will proceed further up the river than Woolwich, and land at Greenwich. An escort of Life Guards has been ordered to be in waiting at Greenwich on Saturday next, and that gallant corps will have the honour of attending on the King of Prussia and the King of Belgium immediately after they have landed, and will accompany their Majesties to Camberwell or Wandsworth, where they will be relieved by the 11th (or Prince Albert's own) Hussars, by whom the Royal visitors will be escorted to Windsor Castle. The Royal party will not enter London on their routo, but proceed along the south side of the metropolis, ac companied by a splendid retinue, and should the weather prove favourable their progress will be • witnessed by thousands of spectators to welcome them to this country.

On Saturday night at eight o'clock a numerous meet ing of the Spitalfields weavers was held at the Knave of Clubs, Club-row, Bethnal-green, to receive the answer of the Poor-law Commissioners in reference to a commu nication to them conformable to a resolution of the trade passed at a meeting held on the Ist of January, request ing that they would take measures to exempt the Spital fields weavers from the employment of stonebreaking at the workhouSe. Mr. BODDINGTON being appointed Chairman, said, that the first question the meeting had to consider was, what remuneration should be given to the Committee of nil; employed silk-weavers who had been exerting themselves in their behalf. Mr. llacamaist observed that the Committee had been engaged since the 19th of November, in order to obtain relief for the destitute weavers in that district, and dur ing that period they had received no reward for their services. The weavers had not the means to make them any compensation, and as it was but just that they should have some, he would move the following resolution : " That this meeting appreciate the services of their Committee, and regret the inability of the trade to liqui date their bills, and they most respectfully embrace this opportunity of recommending to the Central Relief Com mittee the propriety of appropriating a portion of the funds to recompense them for their great exertions in the cause of the distressed operatives of the district." Mr. PIPKIN seconded the resolution, and it was passed unanimously. Another resolution was also agreed to, that a deputa tion of three weavers be appointed to wait on Mr. Ilan bury, to request him to use his influence to carry the above resolution into effect. Mr. Fox said that, a few weeks ago, a discussion took place at a meeting of the trade:upon the subject of the employment of the Spitalfields weavers at the stone-yard of the workhouse, when it was resolved that a memorial should be sent to the Poor Law Commissioners, with a request that an exemption should be allowed to the silk weavers of that district. Copy of the answer from the Poor-law Commissioners : "Poor-law CommisSion-office, Somerset-house, Jan.l4. " Sir—l am directed by the Poor-law Commissioners to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 12th instant, forwarding to them a copy of a resolution passed at a meeting of the •perative broad silk weavers of Bethnal-green, Spitalfields, and the vicinity, respecting the employment of paupers at the workhouse in the dis trict at stone-breaking, and I am to state that the Com missioners will inquire as to the alleged injurious effect of this mode of providing labour for paupers. " I am, Sir, your most obedient servant, ," C. CHADWICK, Secretary. "Mr. T. Claisse, 3, South-street, Hart-lane, Bethnal green-road." After a lengthened conversation respecting the suffer ings of the district, and the distribution of the money paid into the hands of the-Lord Mayor, the meeting broke up about twelve o'clock, THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY, JANUARY 18, 1842. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY. Jan. 17. The LORD CHANCELLOR Silt in his Court at Westmin ster to-day. WARD V. ALSAGER. The further arguments in this part-heard case were resumed, and occupied his Lordship the whole day. ROLLS' COURT, Jan. 17. WILLATTS V. BUSBY. The further arguments in this part-heard cause occu pied his Lordship, the Master of the Rolls, the whole morning. VICE-CHANCELLORS' COURT, Jan. 17. (Before the VICE-CHANCELLOR of ENGLAND.) THE CORPORATION OF DARTMOUTH V. HOLESWORTH. The Court was occupied during the morning with hearing the further arguments in this case, which had been part heard on Saturday. - His HONOUR, in giving his judgment, said that the case for the plaintiffs went on the assertion that six of the aldermen, at the meeting at which the bond was granted, had misled by false representations the remaining two, thereby inducing them to sign the deed. There was, however, no evidence whatever to prove that each of the six Aldermen had made these misrepresentations ; and it would not be enough to show that they had been made by one or two of the parties, because those who brought for ward a charge of fraud, should be held to the strictest proof of such charge. The allegations of the plaintiff were not sustained, and he should therefore dismiss the bill with costs. (Before Vice-Chancellor BRUCE.) FANNING V. DEVEREUX._ In this cause, which came before the Court on bill and answer, the plaintiff, Richard Fanning, claimed as the personal representative of the testator's next of kin. The testator, James Fanning, was possessed of an estate in France called La Roche Talbot, and of considerable sums of money in the French Funds, and other property in France, all of which was confis cated at the time of the French Revolution, in consequence of his being a British subject. In January, iell2, he made his will, and thereby, after giving a certain annuity, he be queathed to his kinsman, J. E. Devereux, of "Carigmendu, in the county of Wexford, and to the Reverend Daniel Al‘Carthy, whom he also appointed as his executors, all his wordly substance, and directed that it, at the decease of the annuitant, should go as the rest of his fortune to those execu tors. Another executor named Edward Christian, was also nominated executor by the testator. In a subsequent will, dated 1:004, the testator, after expressing a confident hope that he would be indemnified for the confiscated French estate, and for the seizure, during the Revolution, of his plate, linen, household furniture, and other personal property, bequeathed his property in the following manner:—One-third part for cha ritable purposes, for the relief of the poor of Waterford and other places in Ireland ; one-third part to his relation, J. E. Devereux ; and the remaining third to his cousin, Januarius Fanning, of the city of Naples. The whole of the property thus devised was to be subject to an annuity of 601., to be paid to the testator's niece, Catharine M•Namara. In a paper left with Devereux the testator confirmed this will in ever thing except the nomination of the Reverend D. 111 4 111acarthy as one of the executors. That nomination he revoked, and named the Reverend Dr. Walsh, of the Irish College of Paris, and Mr. Devereux, as his executors. Januarius Fanning died during the lifetime of the testator, and the third portion of the property be queathed to him became lapsed, and vested in the testator's next of kin, Catharine APNamara. She died intes tate in 1817, and the plaintiff had taken out letters of adminis tration of her estate and effects, and now, as her personal repre sentative, brought forward his claim to the lapsed third por tion of the property bequeathed to James Fanning. The cause had on a former occasion come before the then Lord Chancellor, on a petition, frhich had been dismissed with costs by his Lordship. His HONOUR thought that he was bound by the weight of the late Lord Chancellor's authority, who intimated an opinion adverse to the cause, to dismiss the bill, but not with costs, and thus the question would be left open to appeal. BAIL COURT, Jan. 17. THE QUEEN V. T. J. IVOLSLEY. Mr. SWANN applied for a certiorari to remove an in dictment, which had been found against the defendant, the proprietor of the Shropshire Conservative newspaper, for a libel on Dr. Mackenzie, the proprietor of a rival newspaper, into this Court from the Shrewsbury Ses sions, on the grounds that the list of Jurors for Shrews bury was extremely limited ; that the political feeling in the borough was very strong; and that It, was impossible for the defendant to obtain a fair trial there.—Applica tion granted. fendant in the bar. The witness then described the state of the parties, in the same manner as the last witness. Cross-examined—Defendant did not seem under the influence of liquor. In the early part of the night ho pretended to be asleep when I looked at him, but I am sure he vas not. By - the CounT—Shrubsole had been in the billiard room for some time, and had not been gone more than a minute before this altercation took place: Sophia Cooper—l lodged at plaintiff's at the time this occurred. Mrs. Shrubsole knocked at my door between twelve and one, and came into my room. The remainder of the evidence of this witness, is unfit for publication. It, however, left no doubt as to the criminality of the parties. Mr. LINDON, the attorney of the plaintiff, proved that Mr. J. Sprogg, the attorney for the defendant, had served a demand for maintainence from Mrs. Shrubsole on her husband, dated 31st May, 1841, and entitled in the cause of Shrubsole against Garratt. This was the case for the plaintiff. Mr. Flan asked the Court if there were sufficient evi. dence of the marriage. Mr. Justice WILLIAMS thought there was. Mr. Ftsta then addressed the Jury for tl defendant, and contended that the evidence was nor sufficient to warrant a verdict for the plaintiff. A more improbable case had never been presented to a jury. Could they imagine that any man would choose the gar of a public house as a place for carrying on an adulterous inter course with a married woman when her husband was in the house, and there were four or five persons up stairs in the billiard-room ? Would Mrs. Shrubsole, had she been guilty, have gone up stairs to request the people in the billiard-room to come down—or would she have consented to the in vestigation instituted by Mrs. Cooper at the desire of the plaintiff ? These were cases in which cogent evidence was required to convict a defendant. Had they such evidence ? Now with regard to the pretended confes sion of the defendant, all that appeared was that when soundly thrashed and accused of adultery he held his tongue, and was only desirous of being let out. The defendant's version of the transaction was that he was at the time labouring under the effects of liquor, that lie had occa sion to retire, had not readjusted his dress so carefully as he should have done had he been sober, and that on re-en tering the bar he met plaintiff, who immediately attacked him. With regard to damages there was no proof as to the terms which the parties had been living together, and therefore the pl a i n tiff cou ld no t b e ent i t l e d to any heavy damages, even if they should be of opinion that lie had been guilty of the act imputed to him. One of the Jury asked if the parlour was a distinct room from the bar. Mr. Justice WILLIAMS recalled the witness Latham, who said the parlour was distinct from the bar, and was separated from it by a boarded partition, so that persons in the bar could not see what was going on in the parlour. Mr. Justice WILLIAMS having summed up, The Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff.—Da mages 401. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Jan. 17. CRANE V. PRICE This was an aotion for the infringement of a patent in vention far the smelting of iron. The verdict was for the defendant, and a new trial having been moved for, it was agreed to take the argument upon a special case. The argument was opened this day by Mr. Sergeant Bompas in support of the verdict. The hearing occupied the whole day, and will occupy at least another. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Jan. 17. (Before Mr. Commissioner HOLROYD.) IN RE WILLIAM HITCHCOCK. Our readers will remember that the examination of the bankrupt was adjourned sine die by the Commissioner, in con sequence of the continued noisy applause of the hearers, when he said anything in crimination of Messrs. Cook and Glad stone. The bankrupt having given a fresh notice, the re-ex. amination was resumed this morning. Mr. HUMFREY appeared as counsel for Messrs. Cook and Co. Mr. MAnnON proceeded with the examination of Mr. Hitchcock— Explain the reasons for the balance-sheet of 1839?—The requirement of the official assignees on this point, is as fol lows :—Wanted particulars of composing total sum on both sides of this balance-sheet and references to the account in the original books, by which their correctness may be verified. I have already statel that I have not the materials from which this balance sheet 'was made, for they were not kept at the time. I now find on reference to any books, that they do not supply materials by which the correctness of that balance sheet may be verified. The principle item of objection I understand to be is that on the credit of the book-debts, amounting to 1,712/. 4s. This would appear at first sight to be doubtful as my debts are then, according to my books, somewhere about 4,000. I am prepared, however, to offer this explanation to account for their being taken at 1,7121. 45., whilst at that period the debts are shown to be about 4,000/. I had drawn on the parties bills to the amount of 2,3001. or thereabouts. Now, as I had discounted the greater portion of these bills, and received the money for them, which had been applied to the purposes of my estate, and as I took upon mysolf to prepare for the payment of such bills, I thought I had a right to deduct that amount from the 4,0(:01., leaving a balance of 1,7001. as debts owing. In the item also of cash and bills on the credit side of 1,2241. ss. 7d., I find a difficuity at this time to account for the exact sum then in my possession. I can, however, show by my bankers' books, Smith, Payne, and Smith, and the London and West minster Bank, that had then in their hands an amount toge ther which I believe to be about 8001. ; this was in cash, whilst the item refers to cash and bills. I can offer no further expla nation on this item, as I find I cannot ascertain what bills I had uy me. This is all I have to say on this balance-sheet, unless I am further interrogated. Mr. Il It:Arany—From what documents do you draw your information respecting the sum of 2,3001. ?--From my clerk ; and I have since verified it by my books. I only give it as about the sum. Mr. MARnON said this was not new. The explanation had been given to the assignees, and he thought it better to give it in open Court. Mr. HUMFREY had read over the examinations, and found not a word respecting these bills. The bankrupt wished all questions put to him to be in writing, for he found that in the bustle of the former examina tion a question of great importance to him was altogether omitted The COMMISSIONER. directed that the questions and an swers should be read as they were pat and given. Mr. HUMFREY—I asked you where you got the documents you with ?—I h ave not . l n ie o d t taken any care of a t th e from which you made out this sum of 2,300/. Have yo u th e moranda made at the official time.documents a y r w e w h assignee's. Will you explain if the debts were 4,0001., a n d you hadt i eh e r h eey y s?i o m_ u rpTl simply re e oy r u k wg rough u r me e p p drawn upon your debtors to the amount of 2,300/., why that fact does not appear upon your books ?—I did not think it ne cessary at the time. Is that the only answer you can give?—lt is the only answer I consider necessary. Can you give any other explanation whether you think it necessary or not? Mr. MARMON thought this was a most inconvenient course. Was the bankrupt to be cross-examined on every item ? He submitted that he ought to be allowed to continue his exami nation of the bankrupt. Mr. HUMFREY had a right to eross- examine on any new matter, such as that respecting the 4,000/. ; he cross-examined on this item now as a matter of convenience. The Commissioetie thought Mr. Humfrey's course was the most convenient, but if Mr. Manion wished he had a right to go on. Mr. Mani:lox—l prefer that. In your balance sheet you state you had made a balance of 4,1591 , which is an average of 6 per cent. Explain the difference between nett profit and the gross profit made upon your purchases and sales, which yon stated to me to be, purchases 74,132/. and sales 76,8 4 6/. ?—I have shown the nett profit to be in my balance sheet 4,159/. ; that is all I can show according to that form of balance sheet, and that form was required by the official assignee. I will now proceed to account for the absence of a larger profit shown in that balance sheet. Loss on account of goods sold by Leaf and Co., 1,093/. I Is. 7d. Loss on old stock which had accu mulated up to the spring of 1841, and which was unsaleable and not suitable to our trade in the new shops—this loss I esti mate tohe 25 per cent. less the cost price, or about 6,000;., making a loss of 1,500/. The pr o fi t on on 6,000/., at 124 per cent., 750/. Losses on sales in the usual way of business, being goods depreciated in value during 2i years, I estimate at 10,000/., which at 10 per cent. less than cost price, being about one-seventh of the return of the profit—loss, therefore, at 12 1 / 2 per cent. 1,2501. Loss on millinery during 1840, 3501. Supposed robberies during the same period at 2001. per annum, 5501., and loss. Profits on Irish linen sent to Cooks, 800/. at 124 per cent. 110/., making a total o f 6,7451. 4s. Th ese losses, I believe, to have occurred, and which to my mind account for the want of a larger profit in else balance-shut. You have taken credit in your balance-sheet for a debt due from your brother, James Hitchcock, of 1,100/. Explain whether the entries forming that item are entered in any of your books, and what books are they ?—The original entries relating to this debt will be found in the day-books, and since I have been examined have been folioed, and references affixed to all the items as required by the official assignee ; and here I wish to observe that this debt is not a new debt, but one which can be shown to have existed previous to January. In your balance sheet you have stated that there is a debt due to your estate from Mercer of 1,2061. 17s. 9d. Is that a debt subsisting, and not a loss ?--It is a debt. Do the items composing that debt appear in your books ? —They da. Mr. Groom, do you produce those documents and letters I required by letter of the 15th of January ? Mr. Groom—l have sent for all the letters and documents, but I know nothing of the particular letters you ask for. Mr. MAanoN-1 will ask the bankrupt respecting them. Have you seen in the assignee's office a letter signed H. Par kinson, for Cook and Gladstone, dated 14th January, 1840 ? Mr. Groom produced the letter. It was addressed to the bank rupt, and referred to several bill transacnions on which interest was charged by Mr. Cook. • mentioned in rate of i n t erest was rec k on ed on that 1 , in that letter?---Six per cent., as was explained in that letter when I last saw . it, and of which I took a copy. A memorandum, dated 6th May, 1840, was put in. It was a receipt for 91/. odd, paid Cook and Co. for interest upon a sum of 3,000/. Mr. MARDON—Did you receive that memorandum from Messrs. Cook and Gladstone?--I did. By whom was that sum of 3,0001. lent? —By Mr. William Cook, senior. Was any security given for the loan of that s um ?—Y es , the lease of the house INo. 114, Regent-street. A memorandum, dated Nov. 18, 1839, was put in. It also referred to a calculation of interest between Cook and the bank rupt at 6 per cent. What is the total amount of bills discounted, referred to in that memorandum ?-3581. 11 s. 10d. What is the average ti me these bills had to run?—From two and a half to three months. What was the rate of i n t eres t u pon them . 9 6 per cent. What commission ?-14 per cent. on the amount, being to gether about 19 per cent. to 18 per cent. per annum. From whom did you receive that memorandum ?—From Messrs. Cook and Co. Several other memorandums were put in in order to show that the bankrupt was right when he stated that he had been charged interest at the rate of from 10 to 15 per cent. State when you first commenced removing any of your goods from your business premises.—Early in July. Was it after the interviews spoken of by you in your exami nation with Messrs. Cook an d Gladstone, in their library ? It was after some of the interviews, and which related to these goods, and here I squid observe that these interviews continued almost daily through the whole of July. Did you show to Cook and Co. the plans for the alteration of your premises did. When did you begin your alterations ?—I think in August, 1840. Did Mr. Cook or Mr. Gladstone, introduce you to the Plate Glass Company ? Mr. Cook did, personally. Did you give any bills to that Company for goods supplied? —I did. Was there not one of those bills falling due in August, 1841 ? —I believe there was. Did you pay it when it became due ?—No. Did you see Mr. Cook upon the subject ?—Yes, Did any conversation pass between you and him regarding the payment of that blll?—Yes. State what Mr. Cook said to you on that occasion ?—Mr. Cook told me that although he was interested in the Plate Glass Company, yet he was more interested in my estate ; and he said I had better not send a large quantity of old plate glass which I then had, and which I had promised the Secre tary of the Company to send to them iii part discharge of my bill. Mr. Cook said I had better not send such glass, as I had promised, as he was more largely interested is my estate. Were you in the habit of going to Cook and Gladstone's, on business, in 1841 ?—Yes, frequently. Where did you see them upon business before July, in that year?—Ordinarily in the counting - house or warehouse. Where did you see them, after that period, on business? — Always in the private house—in the library or dining-room. Did you see Mr. Goubien in Regent-street, at any time in December, 1840, or January, 1811 ?—Yes, I believe on Dec. 29, 18-10. Was he introduced by Messrs. Cook and Co. by letter, ad dressed to you?—He was. Did you send one of your buyers to Paris to buy goods through that introduction ?—Yes. Did you mention to Mr. Cook, or Mr. Gladstone, that you intended to buy goods in Paris ?—Yes. Did you purchase any goods in Paris?—Yes. Did you say anything to Mr. Goubien relating to your cir cumstances or credit ?—Not anything. Did you apply to Cook and Gladstone for the loan of any sum of money after the period when you saw Mr. Goubien ? I think on the day previous, or on the same day the letter was written. Did they lend it you ?—No, not at first. Were any objections raised ?—Yes. State what they said upon that occasion ?—Mr. Cook said that they had determined not to lend me any more money, and that therefore the 1,0001. which I wanted I must get somewhere else in the market. I did not get that 1,0001. any where else, but in a day or two I called upon them again, and renewed my request. Mr. Cook then advanced me the 1,0001., but I did not know at that time that he had waited on my brother unknown to me, and had obtained his guarantee for that sum, as it came out in a conversation some one or two months afterwards. I now believe that I can show that upon the same day he introduced Goubien to me, that he, on that day, refused me any accommodation unless he obtained my brother's security. I believe, also that I can show Mr. Cook also went to my brother in Janu ary, 18,1, and also in February of the same year, for a simi lar purl), se, and this I wish the Court to observe, was about the period that the document of January, 1841, purporting to be a balance sheet, has been stated by them to have been re ceived from me. This document would make it appear that. I was not only solvent but that I had a balance in my trade of from 3,000/. to 4,000/., and yet I can show that the application which I made to them about this time was not for any increase to their debt, but simply a renewal until my premises were complete, the leases of which they have, and upon which an immense eutlay was then being made. Were you directed by either Cook or Gladstone not to send any of your buyers to them ?—Yes, after July the Ist. Did you ever say to Cook and Gladstone that that document purported to be a balance-sheet ?—No. Did you give them a statement, exhibit 8., of the former ex amination ?—This paper I might have given to either of them, but not in its present state. Does that purport— Mr. HUMFREY—I must insist upon an explanation of the bankrupt's meaning before we go further. Mr. Ma RDON—Explain it.—There are remarks upon it, I think, in the handwriting of Mr. Gladstone. Does it purport to be a balance-sheet ?—No; it is not at all like one. - Do the items in exhibits A and B materially affect your ba lance sheet?—No. Were you desired by either Cook or Gladstone in June or July to cease buying goods of them ?--Yes ; I think on the Ist or 2d of July. Did you buy any goods, and what quantity, after that pe. riod ?—Not any except one parcel of 11. Is. 4d., which was bought through error. Were you requested by them, or either of them, to refer houses in London to them or either of them ?—Yes ; as I can show. Can you state the names of any of the houses whom you re ferred to them in consequence?—Messrs Wheeler and Strachan. None others that I know of after July Ist. Were there any other houses referred by you to Cook and Co., after January, 1841; to July?—Yes ; a great number. State the names of those houses you referred to Cook and Co. since that period?—Messrs. Hollington and Warwick; Leaf, Smith, and M.Dougal ; Messrs. Smith and Thompson; Messrs. Lindsay and Patterson ; and I should think a great number of others. Mr. MARDON said he did not think it necessary to ask the bankrupt any further questions, as he intended to examine the parties referred to Messrs. Cook and Co. by the bankrupt. Mr. HUMFREY asked if there was any other statement be fore he entered upon his cross-examination ?—No. By Mr. BUTT—Was there a proposal of a loan of 7,0001. in May, 1840, between you and Messrs. Cook and Co. I—Yes, about that time. What terms were agreed upon between you for that loan ? —They offered to lend me 7,0001. for ten years. Was that loan first proposed to be secured by a bond, and your brother, George Hitchcock, proposed to be a security for that amount ?—Yes, he was. Was it arranged that you were to give your brother a bond to indemnify him against loss ?—lt was. Was that proposed originally between you and Messrs. Cook and Gladstone?—l am not sure. In consequence of this arrangement did you cause a bond to be prepared between you and your brother ?—I did. Was that about the time of the arrangement ?.—lt was. Mr. Mardon, the solicitor, prepared the bond for you?—He did. Have you got the draft or eopy of the bond so prepared ?—I have. Produce it. This was not executed, can you state the rea son ?—Yes. When I gave instructions to my solicitor, Mr. Manton, to prepare that bond, I had not stated to any one in the City that I had not given any such bond but on one occa sion. Subsequently, I inadvertently stated to a house, that I had not given any bond to my brother, nor to any other person. On consideration, after making this statement, I felt that I could not execute such bond. That was the cause of its not being completed. Does the word " subsequently" in your last answer refer to the time of the agreement for the loan and the preparation of the bond ?—No, but subsequently to the order which I had given to Mr. Mardon for the preparation of the bond. The bond was here read. Mr. HUMFREY again asked the bankrupt if there was anything he wished to say before he cross examined him ?—Yes, I have. The bankrupt then made an application to the Court, which he said was necessary to place him before the public as an honest and upright man. The application was, that as he had been examined as to the parties he had referred to, Messrs. Cook and Gladstone should be brought forward, in order that they might upon their oaths say what the character was that Messrs. Cook and Gladstone gave of him. If any gentleman should not be able to attend, as he expected, he hoped the Court would allow a letter from that gentlemen to be put in, and which would be sworn to. He was sure that his Honour must have noticed that he was very much indisposed during his examination, and therefore was incapacitated, from his exhaustion and excite. ment, to give that attention which he had since done, and on that account he wished to make an application to the Court respecting an erroneous statement in the Times, which he wished corrected. The COMMISSIONER said the Court could not allow him to refer to any report but that upon the files of the Court. The Bankrupt then stated, that Mr. Ashurst, in his exami nation had involved various points in one question, and thei eby embarrassed him in his answers, by which he was easily led into an error in his answers, and this was the reason be wished to refer to the Times' report. At another opportunity he should address the Court respecting this. Now, referring you to your examination of December 13th, where you were asked" Will you swear, to the best of your be lief, Sou had disclosed everything relative to your estate," was that answer true?—l considered then it was true. Had you pawned plate at. that time which you had not dis closed to the assignees ?—I had pawned plate which I had not disclosed to my assignees. The fiat- was opened in my estate about December 20. Shortly after and about the period that I began to reveal my transactions with Messrs. Cook and Gladstone to my assignees, I was subject to a great many h e avy exp e n se s. I n th e first place I have a wife and seven children to support, some of them in a very de licate state. I had also been told that it was necessary for me to employ an accountant in thepreparation of my balance-sheet, or I could not pass my examination. Relying on the information that it was necessary for me to employ an accountant, and who was recommended to me by the official assignee of this Court, I did employ one. Now, at this moment I had no funds where with to pay such an accountant, except the 51. which you have kindly allowed me for the support of my family. Five pounds a week, you mean ?—Five pounds a week. This I found to be insufficient to pay even the cost of my balance sheet,for I found that his charges were, for himself ss. per hour, for his clerk, 2s. 6d. per hour. Even supposing that he worked eight hours a-day at my balance sheet, that would have entailed an expense upon me of 31. a. day ; and, as I had not been my own clerk, I found it quite impossible to under staid or explain my books, without engaging and paying him his salary. There were also many other expenses incidental to my then situation, and which expenses I was obliged to bear. I felt myself unwilling at that moment to apply to any of my friends, but still funds I must have in order to pass this Court. I therefore did not hesitate, knowing that I had some plate which belonged to my children, and which was, therefore, not the property of the assignees, to pledge such plate. I did so to the amount of 16/. 10s., and which money was spent in expenses necessary for my appearing here. I believe, also, that about this time Mr. Cook, who was then one of any assignees, objected to my receiving any allowance for my maintenance. 1 will, how ever, say, that the other assignees were willing to allow me the amount, and that Mr. Cook, finding himself thus placed, made it a matter of grace to sanction it. Now is that the only reason for swearing you had given up the whole of your property when you had not?—That was my reason, and my determination was to bring any tickets at my last examination, which I was told was usual. Then, according to your own account, jou said that you had delivered up to your assignees all you had, and yet at the time you had in your pocket duplicates which you had not disclosed. is that so ? Yes, and for the reasons I have before stated. Now, you said you had plate belonging to your children. Will you swear to having pawned none belonging to yourself ?—I will not. The Court will remember that my wife and family were at the Isle of Wight. When they left town for the Isle of Wight my plate had been inventoried and mortgaged to Mr. Buzzatte, arid we decided only on taking that plate which belonged to my chil dren. It appears now, however, that after such inventory and mortgage had taken place, my wife considered it neces sary to have a few articles for the use of the family. On our return from the Isle of Wight I understood that that portion of the plate belonging to myself was given up to Mr. Buzzatte. It appears now that some few articles were taken from the parcel brought from the Isle of Wight, and that some few articles belonging to my estate, but which were of trifling value, were retained in the parcel containing my children's plate. About the time this plate was pledged, 1 was very much harassed and engaged in the City all day from an early hour to a late hour, and it was on one occasion that, when I went home without the means to go through the next day, that I asked my wife for this plate, alluding to my children's plate, which had remained tied up without my ' having seen the contents. 1 certainly, therefore, took the parcel from my wife, and handed it over to another party, without ever knowing the number of articles, to pledge, and this, I think, will account for my having sworn in the way •in which I did. I am not asking you now to account for pawning it ; but whether, on the 13th of December, you knew that those tickets in your pocket referred to articles of your own ?—I did not know that those articles were of my estate till within the last week or ten days. I will raad to you the artieles—Salt-spoons, &c. Which of these articles belong to your children ?—I am incapable of saying, unless I have a list at home. Ten table-spoons, one cream jug. You can't tell without referring to a list whether these are yours or not ?—I can may that the milk pot and jug were engraved with the names of my children, and put with the spoons. What spoons, tab'e or desert, or what ?—Some of each, or it may be the whole of them. Mr. HUMF.CEI rad , f the artides ov r bank, upt. When you were examined on the 13. h December did you be lieve that these were articles belonging to you or not ? I did not see the duplicates for weeks together. I never gave it a thought. Although I had the tickets about me I never looked at them, ner was I acquainted with the number of articles till a few days ago. Immediately on my discovery that there were some articles belonging to my estate in the lot which was pledged, I came forward, without waiting till the day, and made it known to the assignees. When was that ?—One day last week, and I stated my readi ness to receive a list of such plate to take it home to my w ife and ascertain what small portion belonged to the estate. Have you, or any person on your behalf, pledged any other plate belonging to your children, or not?—Not that I am aware of. Why were these pawned in the name of Churchhouse?—Be cause 1 felt that I should disgrace my name by putting it in a pawn-shop. Who pawned them ?—I don't know. When did you first get the tickets ?-- I should say the day subsequent to their being pledged. I believe on the morning a . ter such pledge from Mr. Churchhouse. Now I want to ask you, can you tell us, by reference to any book, what money you drew out on your own account between the Ist of July and your bankruptcy cannot, exactly. I don't want it exactly. What books do you refer to? —The cheque-book will show it. 1 never kept any private ac count of my own. You said that Messrs. Ovington and Co., and some other names, referred to Cook and Gladstone between June and July; now will you name to me any firm which supplied you with goods to so large an amount as Coek and Gladstone them selves ?—I cannot, and for this reason, I had not given any security to any other house for goods supplied, atid I had to Cook and Gladstone for all goods supplied ; and this I think is a reason. Now you say that Cook and Gladstone had security. To what amount was it? Name what they are ?--First, security of 3,0001. to Mr. Wm ('ook, senior ; 7,0001. to the firm. They held the lease of No. 118, premises of mine, on security for goods sold. What do you value them at?-1 submit to the Court whe ther that is a fair question. The only answer I can give is, that it cost me 12,0001., and this is about one-third. What do you value the third ?—I am not competent to value it. There has been at least 3,000/. laid out upon this part of the property. Is there any other security for their accounts ?—I gave them Mr. Buzzatte for 5001., and no other. Will you tell me, in the month of July, what was the state of your accounts with Cook and Gladstone ?—I will tell you in the morning. Will you swear it was not more than 19,000/. ?—I believe it was 22,0001., but I can't tell without reference to my books, and that has been over-ruled. Had any security been given between January and July ? No; but they had been increased. Was there any other security between January and July, 1940?—Yes. But I am only prepared to say upon probability, and that is the security of my brother, which I challenge them to deny. To what amount ?—For 2,e00t. When you say you increased the value of your leases, were they ever increased beyond the value you have now put upon them of 6,500/. ?—No. My brother also gave security for 750/. Assuming this to be the case—the whole amount of the securities, you say the debt was upwards of 20,0001. Now had they security to the amount of their debt in July ?—No. But they had more security in proportion when I tailed than they ever had before ; that I will prove. I am taking the month of July, when you owed them a debt 5000/. above the securities. Now, was there any other cre ditor had advanced between June and July as well as these gentlemen ?—Yes. Whom; name them?—Messrs. Lewellyn and Co., Smith and Thompson, and Leaf and Co. ; in this way these houses, whose names I have mentioned, had increased their account upon Cook and Gladstone's representation, without any security, whilst Cook and Co. only increased their account in proportion to the securities which they held. These houses to whom I have referred had therefore increased their risk, whilst Cook and Co. had not increased their risk, only in proportion to the se curity. Taking the securities at their utmost value, were not Cook and Gladstone unsecured to the amount of 5,0001. in the month of July ?—I can't answer that question to 1,0001. without my books. To 1,0001. then ; were they not unsecured to the amount of 4,0001. or s,oool.—Yes. Can you tell me Ovington's account in July by referring to your books ?—Yes ; to the bought ledger. I think it is about 550 i. to 6001. And how much have you paid to them between those times ? —Nothing. Now tell me the amount Messrs. Lewellyn supplied you with in the same dates ?--From 6501. to 7001. Turn to Smith and Thompson?—About 4001. Leaf, M'Dougal, and Co. ? Wh a t qua n tity b y th em ? — Th e amount of goods supplied, 1 should say, about 1,3001. Any other name that supplied you with a large amount I will take, if you please ?—Sheriffs and Co., 7001. What amount did Cook and Gladstone supply you with in the same time ?—I should think 4,000/. Did you deal with Brown and Co. during January and July, and to what amonnt ?—1,3501. Now, who are the largest creditors for goods supplied be tween January and July besides these ?—Lindsay and Patter son, 550/. in two months. Well then, Wrelord and Co. ?-400/. or 500/. What is Goubien and Co., of Paris?—The invoices are not posted up, but therare about 1,200/. It being now past four o'clock, the further hearing of the case was postponed to eleven o'clock on Friday next. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Jan. 17. IN THE MATTER OF JOHN GOLDWIN. The insolvent, in this case, was a market gardener, and extensive farmer, in the neighbourhood of Brent ford, in Middlesex, and applied on his petition to be dis charged. lle was supported by Mr. Cooke, and opposed, on behalf of Colonel Lyster, by Mr..Woodroffe. It appeared that he had he'd a large quantity of land under the opposing creditor, and having gone consider ably in arrear in rent, was arrested between three and four years ago, and remained in prison ever since. I lis debts and liabilities were considerable, but the principle creditor was Colonel Lyster, who had since taken pos session of his farm and gardens, with all the improve ments previously made by the insolvent. Mr. Commissioner BOWEN ordered the case to stand over till to-morrow. IN THE MATTER OF ALEXANDER WEBB. The insolvent was an officer on half-pay, and was op posed by a clerk in the employment of Messrs. Smith, the ale-brewers, of the New Kent-road. The insolvent stated that he had lost a large sum of Money which had been invested in one of the L nited States banks at a very high rate of interest, the conse quence of which was his present insolvenc. The Learned COMMISSIONER said the fact of the pri soner having lost so much money by the failure of the American bank was in some degree an excuse for his difficulties, and he should therefore order him to be dis charged forthwith. BOSANQUET V. GRAHAM. In this case, which related to certain disputes between the London and Westminster Bank aud the South Western Bank, the SOLICITOR-GENERAL applied on behalf of one of the Shareholders of the South Western Bank, to set aside the warrant of attorney which had been granted by the defendant, acting as representative of the South Western Bank, to the plaintitf, acting as representative of the London and Westminster Bank, and to be allowed to plead to the scire facias th - e - §ame matters that would have been pleaded to the original action. The ground of the application was that the defendant who had given the warrant of attorney had been acting under a wrong appointment, inasmuch as he had not received his ap pointment until after the South Western Bank had ceased to exist.—Rule nisi granted. THE QUEEN V. F. O'CONNOR AND ANOTHER.—CRI3IINAL INFORMATION. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL a few days since applied to the Court for a criminal information against the above defendants for the publication of a libel in the Northern Star, reflecting on the character of the Roy. R. Anstie. Mr. Justice WuLiAms this morning granted a rule nisi. CRIM CON.-SHRUBSOLE V. OARRATT. This was an action brought by William Henry Shrub sole, against Daniel Garratt, to recover damages from the defendant, for criminal conversation with the plain tiff's wife. Mr. FORTESCUE haring opened the pleadings, Mr. PETERSDOYFF stated the case to the Jury, and said that the plaintiff had been compelled to bring this action to 'recover damages from the defendant for the greatest injury that one man could inflict upon another, the seduction of his wife. The plaintiff who was a most respectable man, had, for sixteen years before his marriage, been in the service of the Archbishop of Armagh as valet, and his wife had also been for some .years previously in his Grace's service as laundry-maid. They were married in the year 1835, and shortly after their marriage had left his Grace's ser vice and had come to London, where, in April, 1841, the plaintiff was keeping a respectable house, the York Min ster, in Audley-street. They had lived happily together up to April, 1841, the time when the circumstance occurred which was the cause of the present action. They had been prosperous in life, and had a large family, and until the 22d April, 1841, the plaintiff had not entertained the least suspicion of his wife's fidelity. The defendant, who he believed was a courier, had be come acquainted with defendant and his wife, had been in the habit of visiting at the house as an intimate friend, and had taken advantage of the opportunities thus afforded him to effect the seduction of the plaintiff's wife. Up to the 22d April, 1841, Mr. Shrubsole had entertained no suspicion of his dishonour. On the even ing of that day the defendant Garratt came to plaintiff's house. Mrs. Shrubsole had suggested to the plaintiff to send the waiter home on that evening earlier than usual, to which plaintiff had acceded. In the course of the evening plaintiff had occasion to leave the bar to attend to the business of the house, and on his return he found the defendant and Mrs. Shrubsole in a situation which could leave no doubt as to their crimi nality. Mrs. Shrubsole rushed from the room, and plaintiff immediately inflicted summary clidstisement on defendant, whose cries brought persons to the bar, in whose presence plaintiff accused him of the crime he had committed, a hen defendant did not deny the truth• of the accusation, but only begged to be permitted to leave the house. Since the action had been commenced, the attorney for the de fendant had served a notice on the plaintiff, in the name of the plaintiff's wife, demanding a maintenance during the continuance of the action, thus endeavouring to make the husband instrumental, not only in maintain ing her, but her paramour also. He hoped the Jury would not forget this conduct when they. came to con sider the question of damages. The Learned Counsel then called the following witnesses : Susannah King—l am in the service of Lady Isabella Bridges. I was in Armagh in 1835, living in the service of the Archbishop. I know plaintiff and his wife, and was present at their marriage in the New Church in Ar magh. I left Ireland the year after their marriage, and have had no acquaintance with them since. Plaintiff had been in the Archbishop's service eighteen years as valet, and his wife had been in the service nine years. Plain tiff and his wife were Protestants. Cross-examined by Mr. Ftsir—l know they were Protestants because they attended the Protestant Church. Robert Patterson, I am the proprietor of the Green Man and Still in Oxford street. I have known defen dant "a long time. He was footman and valet to the. Archbishop of Armagh. I saw plaintiff and his wife about three or four . years ago in London; they were then carrying on business in Princes-street, Cavendish square' and afterw ar d s wen t t o th e Y or k Mi nster, in IslorthAudley-street. I have seen them occasionally since, and, as far as my opportunities allowed me, I should say they lived happily. I b e li eve t h ey ha ve four children living. Ido not know defendant. By the COURT—I should say that at the time of the marriage Mrs. Shrubsole was about 25 years of age, and her husband about the same. Wm. Latham--I was billiard mark er i n t h e service of plaintiff on April 22d, last year. In th e evening of that day I saw defendant at plaintiff's house early in the evening. I went up stairs, and hearing a screeching at the bar I went down, and saw defendant there. This was between twelve and one. Plaintiff was giving him a good thrashing. Defendant's dress was disordered. I asked what was the matter, and plaintiff told me he had found his wife in an im proper situation with defendant. Defendant made no observation, but desired to be let out of the house. As I was going down stairs, I met Mrs. Shrubsole coming from the bar. Her cap was off, and her hair hanging about her shoulders. Cross-examined—l went to the billiard-room of the plaintiff. Defendant had the appearance, during the early part of the evening, of being fresh. When I saw him afterwards, however, he did not appear to be the least so. There were five persons in the billiard-room when the altercation took place. Some of them accompanied me. I did not hear Mrs. Shrubsole say, " For God's sake, go down stairs, or Shrubsole will m ur d er Garratt." She said something, but what I do not know. Re-examined—Defendant is a valet, or travelling ser vant, and appeared to be very intimate at the house. Mr. Shrubsole has five children living. Defendant is about thirty-five years of age. John Stourton—l was at plaintiff's on 22d April, 1841. I had been in the habit of using the house as a customer. I was there the whole evening. I observed Garratt in the parlour. Mrs. Shrubsole was in the bar. I went up to the billiard-room, and shortly after twelve o'clock I heard a disturbance, and came down stai'-s Mrs. Shrubsole came out of the bar as I got to it, and ran by me and went up stairs. I found plaintiff and de- IN RE MUSTAPHA ALL In this case the insolvent was described as a general dealer in foreign merchandise, and applied on his petition to be discharged. No opposition having been offered by any of the cre ditors in his schedule, the COURT ordered him to be dis charged forthwith. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. CROYDON POLICE. A person named Isaac Crick, attended before Messrs. Reid, Adams, Currie, and Sutherland, to answer an in formation laid under the Police Act, by Collier, the In spector of Police for this district, charging that he being the keeper of a place of public resort, did unlawfully al low persons of notoriously bad character to assemble in his house. This was the first information of the kind that has hitherto been brought forward, and it will be seen that it involved a question of some importance as to whether the Police Act applies to such cases. ➢ir. Robert Russell attended for the defendant. From the testimony of the Inspector and other officers, it ap peared that Crick keeps a lodging-house, or place of resort for vagrants, and other disorderly persons, and that from the disturbance constantly going on there it was a complete nuisance to the neighbourhood. On the occasion which led to the present pro ceedings, upon an alarm being given, the police went to the house, and found 37 persons, many of whom were convicted thieves and prostitutes, drinking and gambling. In some of the rooms a number of boys and girls were in bed together, and the scene altogether appeared to be one that required the interference of the public authorities. This was about one o'clock on Sun day morning, and soon afterwards several of the party were turned, very drunk, into the street, when they commenced fighting and creating a disturbance, and the police were obliged ultimately to take them to the sta tion-house. In answer to questions from the Bench, the Inspector said that the defendant's house was open at all hours, and persons were stationed at the door to induce parties to take up their abode there ; and any one who chose to apply was admitted. Dlr. Russell then addresied the Bench at some length, and contended that houses of this kind, though a nui sance, could not be done away with by summary process. The Bench, having consulted together, came unani mously to the conclusion that the house of the defendant was within the meaning of the Act of Parliament, and they adjudged him to pay a fine of 51., and in default to be imprisoned for a month. Mr. Russell said, that he felt so strongly upon the point that he should appeal, and try the question at the Quarter Sessions. The BENCH said, they were very glad that power of appeal was given: These lodging-houses were a com plete nuisance, and it was understood that the clause in question was expressly introduced into the Police Act to enable Magistrates to do away with them without the trouble and expense of an indictment. If the Magis trates had the power they would certainly exercise it, but as it was a novel and important question, it would be satisfactory that an opportunity should be afforded to have it fully argued, before a final decision was come to upon it.—The usual notice of appeal was then given. THE LATE RAILWAY ACCIDENT.---The Di rectors of the Great Western Railway Company intend, it is said, to appeal against the verdicts of the two Berk shire juries, upon whom it devolved to investigate the circumstances connected with the late accident at Son ning-hill. The well known leaning of the superior Courts may excite the railway management to this de termination, but in our opinion they will do well to pay the deodands without litigation, and allow the matter to rest as quietly as it may. The more the occurrence is discussed the less likely will the undertaking be to regain its former position in the confidence of the public. That such confidence has been exceedingly shaken will be evident to any one who examines the weekly returns of traffic before and after the accident. Ten times the amount of the deodands imposed will not meet the loss which has fallen upon the Company through this occur rence ; and the longer the recollection of its details is kept alive by arguments and statements in Courts of law, the further will such loss extend. We never heard of a railway accident concerning which public opinion was less divided than in this instance. Generally and unequivocally the arrangements of the Company with respect to the conduct of, at least, their third-class trains, have been condemned, and, as we think, condemned not without cause.—Railway Times.
