CAPE OF GOOD HOPE. Letters from the Cape of Good Hope to the `26th of August were received yesterday. The only important part of their contents is that which relates to the return of Mr. GREG to the colony, and the treatment he received from the Governor. Lord CHARLES SOMERSET, on his re-appearance there. All the printing implements and stock in trade of this gentlemen were seized, and as they constituted his whole capi- tal i he was compelled to deposit them in Pledge with the Colonial Government, to raise a -sum of money to enable him to defray his ex pences to England. On his arrival here, Mr. Greig appealed to the Colonial-office, and receiv ed permission to go back to the colony, with an Assurance that. he shonid he permitted to carry on his business without molestation, and that his materials should all of them be resored to him. We now learn, however, from the letters of respectable settlers at the Cape, that ;his degree of daring is not too great for Lord Charles Somerset, who, on the plea that Mr. Greig's printing apparatus had been sold to Another person, after the departure of Mr. Greig, now refuses to make restitution of the property. His Lordship's conduct has been marked by so many irregularities, that, in the spirit of the vulgar adage, he had "as lieve be hanged for a sheep as a lamb." Row otherwise would he have dared to dispose of the property of a man who had avowedly gone to England to appeal against the suspension _of his .journal, and who had declared that in that property nearly the whole of his capital was em barked ? The conduct pursued towards Governor Macquarrie, late of New South Wales, might form a criterion to judge of that which the Go vernment is likely to adopt towards this arrogant member of the Beaufort family, unless indeed Parliamentary interest, of which Governor Mac- Auarrie had none, may be supposed to alter the case. Mr. Bigge's report, if we recollect right, made it the gravamen of his charge against Go vernor Macquarrie, that he had placed himself in personal opposition to an individual, thus de grading the public character he bore ; but what will Mr. Bigge's and Lord Charles's mas ters say to the treatment to which their pro teg4 has subjected Mr. Greif; ? Mr. Bigge is preparing a report of the Cape colony itself, who will have to state his opinion on this case, when it will he seen how far his abstract notions of justice correspond with those he expressed on that of Governor Macquarrie. Mr. Greig was to commence the republication of his Journal on the 31st of Aogust. CHILE. •Ths following important Proclamation has been issued by the Supreme Director of Chile to the people of that State : " PROCLAMATION. '` ME SUPREME DIRECTOR OF THE STATE TO THE PEOPLE. " Circumstances the most imperious and urgent oblige me 'to convene the General Congress to which I had invited the gttion in my fernier decrees ; circumstances which are of such high importance, that they do not admit of the preliminary steps • then announced being previously taken, and which perhaps would have been desirable for the prov'lnces in less eventful ihoments. Europe hastens to decide on the fate of America, and England has recognized the independence of Mexico, Co itimbfa, and Buenos Ayres, hoping for the arrival of that pe aled when illegal organization of Chile will justify that recogni - On, to which she is entitled by her valour.; her 'moderation, send her virtues. The new Governments invite us td assist and prepare to form a South American Assembly, in which may be lorganized the grandipact of union and the public law of the Weir World. Already they have sent their plenipotentiaries to Panama. The Government of Chile has felt itself embar raised by these official invitations, being unable to refer to the Xational Representation, and could only reply that it was Obiu.t immediately to instal the National Congress, whose first -shags would be directed exclusively on that sublime object. *Cat aegociations, connected With the national industry, destined to promote the prosperity of Chile, seemed paralysed, because the undertakers of them delay the completion of the -speculations, waiting for the legal and consistent establishment ut °Ur system. Afore than 23 millions of dollars, it has been an manned by our Plenipotentiary, have been raised in London •tb encourage our industry anti agriculture. The Government, vacillating,and without a recognized code to direct its admi riistration, can scarcely act, feeble and cramped as it is in all Its operations, and without authority to establish principles or a policy adapted to our institutions. Oppressed by so many urgent circumstances, I hope to see the nation assembled on the Pith of September. In order to secure the greater freedom and dispatch in the elections, I have, in the subjoined procla mation, taken the most efficacious means secure impartiality and good order. " Lahahltant4 of Chile I This nation knows sufficiently well that I have no otherinterest . at heart but that of the country ; no rove for any other dignity than that of increasing its glory. • Without hesitation I protest to you anew, by that which is '• most sacred, that I shall behold with the greatest horror, (and will take care that the judicial authorities shall discharge their - functions by exemplary chastising), any one who may directly or indirectly seek to make it believed that the Government takes any interest in the persons or the opinions of those chosen your Representatives. From motives of delicacy I have resolved to Withdraw during the period of the elections of all the Gover .nors <dependant on the Directorial nominations, in order that' the slightest influence on the part of the Government shall not be exercised. " It is for you now to pursue, with the greatest purity, the national interest. You have to decide on the fate of your country. Look well to the important charge, and consider the awful responsibily you incur, and tremble for the inexorable judgment of posterity. 44 Santiago de Chile, Ju1y,12,1825. , . " FREIHE.

FOR THE SUN. MR. EDITOII—A very SERIOUS ACCIDENT Was likely to have happened here this afternoon, the particulars of which I beg to state.—Rear Ad miral Sir CHARLES PAGET Wil3 getting under weigh in the Emerald yacht, blowing hard from the westward, about:half flood tide, endeavour ing to keep the Gosport shore outward, to wea ther the small vessels inside the Victory, 3 Vhen, by a sudden jerk of the Emerald's main boom, Sir CHARLEs ►.as thrown upon the Ice gunwhale, and from thence overboard. The Admiral was soon rescued from the waves by Capt. INGLIS'S boat, and taken to the Victor:, where every at tention was shewn him by the Commanding Officer, Lieutenant KENTISH, and the medical department of the ship. Admiral Sir GEoRGE MA wrIN, Captain INGLIS, with other Officers of the fleet, went on board the Vietou soon after this accident occurred, and Sir CHARLES PAG ET was taken on shore to the Admiralty house in a cot, we hope not suffering from the effects of swallowing salt water.. We are sorry to state that in the confusion attending this &laming ac cident the Emerald ran foul of the Vittoria fri gate yacht, belonging to Captain INGrAs, and literally tore her in ribbands. GUARDIAN SOCIETY, FOR THE PRESERVATION OF PUBLIC MORALS, The Anniversary Meeting of this Society was held at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street, yesterday• The Right Honourable the Loup M,tYo►t, President of the Society, took the Chair at two o'clock, when the business of the day was commenced by his Lordship's rising and addressing the Meeting in the following words : Ladies and Gentlemen—l am called upon by virtue of being President of this Society for this year, to address you on the merits of this praiseworthy Institution. 1 regret that this office has not devolved upon a person more competent to expatiate upon the benefits resulting from a Society of this nature. This Institution has been in the habit of holding its meetings in the Egyptian Hall, but owing to that building being at present un der repair, this room was chosen by the Committee. It signifies but little where we meet—whether in the Mansion House of this City, or even in the open air, so that the suns ines upon us, if we take into consid e r a ti on th e purpose fir wiNch this Meeting is convened, viz. the rescuing from destruction a certain class of unfortunate females. The main object of this Institution has been misunderstood—it has been said that this Society was formed for the prevention of crime ; happy, indeed, would it be could it chain the human heart, prone as it naturally is to ,• crime, but its intention is to reform that class of unfortunate fe- males before they sink deeper into the abyss of infamy, which ultimately ends in their ruin. I ask, if any of you have as a brother, father, or mother, or in any degree of relation. ship, been witness to a deviation from the path of virtue, has not the consequence been, that the feeling of atExtion has been changed into disgust and hatred towards the unfortunate object of wily artifice. Many of these misguided victims have been driven by shame to commit the dreadful act of suicide. I ant convinced that there are many Institutions that may be equal to, hut cannot surpass ours. The ex p en dit ure o f t hi s Estab lishment, I am sorry to say, exceeds the income, and many ob jects of compassion have been refused admittance on account of the limited funds. Only to-day, as a magistrate, I was ap plied to by an interesting girl, about nineteen years of age, who had been seduced from her friends, who were most respectable, in Wellingborough, by an abandoned female who had since disappeared, and left her in the most abject distress. I would willingly have sent her to this Institution, as I consider her a fit object, but owing to the reduced state of its finance, I was unable to do so. To give you an example of the good effects ! of this Institution upon the morals of its inmates, 1 shall only mention, that since last year reports have been received of females who have left the Asylum, and been in service for the following periods :—Two for six years ; three for five; five for four ; five for three ; seven for two ; ten for one ; and are still conducting themselves well, either in service, or with their re spective friends. This is a most gratifying account : persons in the situation in which they were (for no secret was made of their past conduct), must have been most narrowly watched, and yet they have been able to retain their situations. I have said more at this meeting than I have ever said at any meeting at which I have had the honour to preside this year, because they have been in a prosperous condition, and therefore required little to be said, but I feel myself called upon in this case to solicit the assistance of the humane towards the support of this valuable Instit . ion. 1 have to relate a generous and disin. terested action of Mr. Fry, the Treasurer, who has advanced 4001. to relieve the wants of the Society. After apologizing for thus trespassing on the time of the assembly, his Lordship sat down amidst the applause of the company. The Reverend Dr. WEnsTEn, the Secretary, then read the last year's Report, in which several affecting cases were men. tioned of those unfortunate females who had been relieved by this Society. It stated also that since the last Report 196 fe males had been provided for or sent home to their friends, and that freim the commencement of the Institution in 1812, to July 13, 1825, 927 women had been received, of whom Had been placed in service - 235 Restored to their friends - 240 Sent to their respective parishes 345 Discharged or withdrawn 43 Had died 9 And were now under the care of the Institution 55 • Total - 927 But such were the existing necessities of the Asylum, that it was resolved by the Committee to reduce the number of female penitents from 50 to 30. It was also resolved to appeal to the public through the medium of the daily press, and he was happy to add, that appeal had been answeted in a manner highly gratifying to the Society. The amount of subscriptions re ceived since last advertisement was 7W. lls. - The Rev. H. G. WATKINS, Rector of St. Swithin's, said that he was so little accustomed to public speaking that he felt very diffident in addressing the fleeting, but upon a subject of this importance, viz. the preservation of the public morals, he was sure that it needed but little apology. He thought that this Asylum embodied the Gospel, and that it also wore the diadem of that Holy Writ—Forgivenness of Sinners. Sir F. OMMANN EY spoke to the sante effect, and concluded by saying that great praise was due to the Magistrates for the support they had given to the Society, and especi;dly the Gen tleman who had presided this year. The Rev. Dr. Fila, Chaplain to the Duke of Sussex, said that as a sincere well-wisher to the Society he would add a few words. While there were so many public institutions in Lon don for the preservation of life, this Society, instituted for the preservation of public morals, ought not to be allow e d t o f a ll to the ground for w a nt o f that support, which would reflect credit upon those who came forward to that effect. If a prece dent were wanted, he said, to countenance the founding such an Institution, he would adduce the Magdalen, the Lock, and the Foundling, Hospitals; and though it afforded him great pleasure to contemplate the benefits resulting from this Insti tution, yet he had equal regret in seeing its decline. He could not finish without thanking the Public Press, for the spirited manner in which it had taken up the matter. The Institution had derived considerable support from its eurtions. HEN ItYJE REMY, Esq., and the hey. GEo. TOWNSITEND, spoke at some length in a general manner as to the grad effects or this Institution, and the regret they felt at the decline of it. Dr. BIM. LOB LOTSK r, Professor of Theology at Gottingen, spoke in a most feeling manner of the good effects likely to result to this country from an institution of this kind. lie stated that he had heard in his country that the English faith was a dead faith, but that he should refute that calumny, be cause he had seen sufficient in this country to see that the Eng lish had feeling hearts and a living faith. The Doctor apolo gized to the meeting for taking up their valuable time, and troubling them with such a metamorphosis of the English lan guage (he spoke with a very strong German accent), but his feelings prompted hint to express himself in some way or other. Mr. FRY proposed a vote of thanks to the Lord Mayor for his obliging conduct in t',le Chair, and for that kind and zealous attention with which he had invariably promoted the interests of this Institution. The LORD MAYOR returned thanks for the honour they had done him, and which was undeserved, as he had done nothing but• what every man that had any humanity would do. Several votes of thanks were passed —to his Royal flightless the Duke of Sussex (the Patron), her Grace the Duchess of Wellington, to the Committees of Ladies and Gentlemen, and to Mr. Bleaden, the landlord of the London Tavern, who had handsomely allowed the meeting the use of the room. The Meeting, which was of the most respectable kind, and com posed of a great number of Ladies, then broke up. ST. BRIDE'S STEEPLE. Yesterday being tbe-,day appointed for laying the foundation-stone of ...tlA6w buildings forming the avenue leading to the above Church, a numerous party of ladies and gentlemen assembled in the vestry-room, at one o'clock, and shortly after two a procession, consisting of the Rector of the Parish, the Committee appointed to manage the erection of the new building, the Secretary, &c. proceeded from the Church to the spot where the foundation-stone was to be laid. Nothwith standing the unfavourable state of the weather a number of elegantly dressed ladies were present, who appeared to take a lively interest in the proceedings of the day. The Committee and Gentlemen having assembled, Mr. SPOT TISWODE ad dressed the surrounding multitude, and detailed the particu lars of the intended improvement. JOHN BLADES, Esq. then came forward, and addressed the company assembled. He stated that it afforded him great plea sure to see so numerous and respectable a meeting of his fellow citizens assembled on the present occasion. He felt a great in terest in the undertaking they had met to support, and which he had every reason to believe would be crowned with success. A Plate, representing a plan of the proposed improvement, was then exhibited, after which various gold and silver coins, of the present reign, were deposited in the cavity appointed for their rfeeption, and a brass plate, with the following inscription, was read by A ttwood Smith, Esq. the Secretary, previous to its being placed under the stone The SPIRE of the CHURCH of ST. BRIDE, in the City of LONDON, A master-piece of Art, designed by the great Architect, Sir CHRISTOPHER WREN, Knight, flaying been obscured by surrounding Buildings for upwards of a century, A Public Subscription took place, tor the purpose of bringing into View its hitherto concealed Beauties, and of affbrding an improved approach to the Church. These objects haying received liberal Encouragement, the Foundation Stone of the Buildings, forming ST. BRIDE'S AVENUE, was laid by JOHN. BLADES, Esq., the Treasurer ; Assisted by JOHN PAPWORTH, Esq., the Architect, Under the Auspices of The Right Hon. JOHN GARRATT, Lord Mayor of the City of London, On THiT asHAY, the 3d day of November, 1825, and in ' Sixth Year of the Reign of his Most Gracious Majesty King GEORGE IV. On the completion of the ceremony, H. Manittovr, Esq. came forward, and stated, that as a member of the Committee, be felt bound to thank his friend 11Ir. Blades for his attend ance. The intended improvement would rescue one of the most beautiful specimens of art from obscurity. Without the liberality which had been so nobly displayed by the Gentleman who had that day honoured them with his presence, and laid the tbundation of a building, which he believed would prove to he a great ornament to the City, the object, in which all pre sent took so great an interest, would never have been carried into effect.—Three hearty cheers were then given by the spec tators, after which they departed. LIVERPOOL, NEW CHURCH, SCOTLAND-ROAD. On Friday last the ceremony of layinz, the foundation of the New Church, in Great Oxfbrd•street North, Scotland-road, was performed by the BtsitoP of CuraTEn, attended by the clergy of the town and a number of gentlemen. At half-past one they began to assemble in the Council-room in the Town-hall: his Lordship arrived before two, and was received by Mr. Langton and Mr. Wotherspoon, the Church wardens. The Mayor did not enter the roam until after his Lordship, being particularly engaged by the important business of the Sessions, which prevented him from being present at the ceremony. The procession began to move at two o'clock. A party of constables, followed by the boys of the Blue School, preceded the Mayor's state carriage, in which were the Bishop and the Reverend Samuel Renshaw, Rector ; they were supported by the Churchwardens and Clergy on foot, followed by several Members of the Common Council, the Local Committee, Select Vestry, and a number of Gentlemen. They proceeded down Dale -street, through Barom.street and Scotland-road, and at the end of Great Oxford-street the Bishop alighted from the carriage, and walked in the procession the remainder of the way. His Lordship, the Churchwardens, Clergy, and as many Gentlemen as could be accommodated, descended into the foundation, which, being cut through a stratum of marl to the rock, was very deep. A specimen of the coins of the present reign, &c., inclosed in a glass case, were laid in a hollow in the foundation stone. This was covered with a brass plate, on which was die following inscription : 44 THIS STONE, Being the Foundation-stone of the National Church, Great OXforil-street Nortli, Liverpool. was laid by the Right Rev. Charles James, Lord Bishop of Chester, on the 28th Oct. 1823. 44 JOSEPH LANOTON, G°} MATTHEW . WOTHERSPOON, Churchwardens. 44 JOHN FOSTER, Jun., Architect." Mr. LANGTON, having audibly read the inscription, replaced the plate, and, taking in his hand the trowel which had been prepared tin the Occasion, addressed his Lordship to the follow. ing effect :-- "My Lord Bishop_As one of the Churchwardens of this parish, the duty is assigned to me of presenting to your Lord. ship this trowel, for the ceremony of to-day. I congratulate myself and my fellow-parishioners, that the time is at length arrived for the commenc e m e nt o f this church, so much wanted for the convenience of the large and rapidly increasing popula. tion of the neighbourhood ; and I trust that the poorer classes, for whose accommodation such liberal provision is here made, will not be backward in availing themselves of the advantages which it affinils. I have only further to express to your Lord. ship the obligations of the parish-officers for your attendance upon this occasion." His liolinsurP, taking the trowel, (a very beautiful instru ment), spoke to the following effect :—" I have very great plea sure in officiating on this interesting occasion. The making provision for the spiritual wants of such an immense popu lation as that which surrounds this neighbourhood is a sub ject of awful interest. Although much, has been done by the piety of individuals, as well as by the liberality of the munici pal body which administers the government of this great and flourishing town, with so much advantage to the inhabitants and honour to itself, yet much still remains to be accomplished ; and what has been already done in the good cause will, I trust, only serve as a motive to perseverance in the like course for the future. - This monument of national piety which we are now about to erect will, when completed, not only be a conspicuous object to those who attend divine service within its walls, but may serve to remind those who are navigating the seas which surround these islands, of the great duty of common worship to God. it will also be a satisfactory memento of that feeling which, thanks be to Gad, is now excited in this nation, and which is daily increasing—the intense' desire of providing for the spiritual wants of our poor brethren ;. a desire which exists not only in the breasts of pious individuals, but in the Govern ment of this great Christian nation itself. And I thank God, that the eyes of our Government are awake to the imperative necessity of making a provision for enabPng the poor to attend on the common duties of public worship, in an age when a spi. sit of religious inquiry has .gone abroad, and when the bless ings of religious educatiOn are widely diffused. I now pro ceed to discharge the pleasing duty which has devolved on me this day." The Bishop having spread the mortar, and the covering-stone being lowered into its place, his Lordship, When it was settled, took a mallet, struck the stone, and completed the form oflaying the foundation. H is Lordship then made an impressive prayer, the attendant crowd standing uncovered. " 0 Eternal Lord God ! of Majesty unapproachable, whom the heaven of heavens cannot contain, much less the walls of temples made with hands, and who yet hast been pleased to ap point, under the law, peculiar places, wherein thy name might be glorified, and the prayers of thy devout servants offered up to thee ; and, under the gospel, hast promised thy especial presence where even two or three are gathered to in thy name, we humbly thank thee that thou hast put into the hearts of thy faithful servants, in all ages of thy church, to erect temples to thy great name and for the edification of thy people. We thank thee more particularly, 0 Lord that, in this our age, a zeal for this good work has gone abroad among us, and that those whom thou hast appointed to be our Governors are careful to provide for the spiritual wants of the people whom thou hast intrusted to their charge. Grant, 0 Lord ! that this spirit may increase among us, and that we may prove the blessed fruits of it in the daily growth of Christian piety, in unity, and godly love. 0 heavenly Father! be pleased to bless the pious work which we have begun, that it may be brought to a prosperous issue, and made conducive to the tbrtherance of true religion and piety. And gran t, 0 Lo r d ! that th e c h urc h to which we belong may he enabled to dispense. the comfortable ordinances of religion to the increasing wants of the people of this neighbourhood; and that she may advance to that per fect state, when she may be presented to thee without spot or wrinkle, or any such thing. For Christ's sake, merciful Lord we beseech thee to accept these our imperfect petitions, and to I accomplish our desires, according to the spirit of that prayer which our blessed Lerd himself has taught us." The Bishop having recited the Lord's Prayer, and pro nounced the usual benediction, the ceremony was concluded. The Churchwarden, who had held the trowel during the prayer, now presented it to his Lordship, calling his attention to the inscription, which is as follows : " This Trowel, with which the Right Reverend Charles James, Lord Bishop of Chester, laid the Foundation-stone of the National Church, in Great Oxford -street, North, was presented to him by the Parish of Liverpool, 28th Oct. 1825." His Lordship said, that he was highly gratified to receive from the parishioners such a pleasing memento of the occasion, and that it would at all times give him sincere pleasure to be instrumental in promoting their welfare. _ The. processiOn returned in the same order; and in the evening his Lordship, the Clergy, Churchwardens, and other Gentlemen, dined with the Mayor in the Town—hall.

LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, Nov. 3. WELLESLEY tr. DUKE OF BEAUFORT. Mr. TRESLOVE applied to the Court to have this motion put into the paper of :Saturday, and to he peremptorily heard on that day. The plaintiffhad obtained a writ of Habeas Corpus to obtain possession of the persons of his children, the issue of the marriage of the celebrated heiress the late Mrs. Tilney Long Wellesley Pole, who were wards of the Court. The writ was returnable into the King's Bench on Monday. The object of this motion was to restrain the return and to prevent any pro. ceedings upon it. The Loan CuANcEt.r.ou directed it to be heard the first thing on Saturday morning., WELMAN V. BOWRING. The argument against the appeal in this case, and in sup port of the Vice Chancellor's decree, and to dissolve the in junction, was heard at length. The LORD CHANCELLOR postponed the hearing of the reply till the second day of the term ; because the state of the facts differed essentially from that which appeared in the plead ings, and he wanted some further assistance from the opinions of the Counsel upon a point, which had not been considered, with respect to the possibility of creating such an estate as that contrived by the deed of marriage -settlement, according to the customs of the manor. The remainder of the sittings were taken up with bank- ruptcy matters of no general interest. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, Nov. 3. His HONOtTit heard pleas of demurrers, none of which pos. sessed antgeneral interest. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Nov. 3. The LORD CnIEF JUSTICE to-day resumed his sittings at Nisi Prius, and proceeded with the trial of Common .Jury causes. PRINCE AND ANOTHEIt V. LEWIS. This was an action by the lessees of Covent-garden Market, who hold the market under the Duke of Bedford, at a rent of 2,500/. a-year, against the defendant, to recover tolls to which it was alleged that he was liable, and which it was considered that he had evaded. It apieTreif that the defendant was a potato-salesman, re siding in James -street, Covent-garden, and that he occasionally suffered hix waggon to stand at his door for the purpose of selling marketable commodities on that place : but on the cross-examination of Mr. Perry, the toll-collector, it was proved that the defendant's premises were not exactly within the verge of .the market, and that part* of the intenor of the market were appropriated to china and earthenware stalls and shops, which might occupy a third of the space devoted to the public. _ The Lonn CntEr JUSTICE, on this evidence, stopped the case, and declared his opinion that the lessee, before he claimed tolls for goods sold out of the verge of the market, ought to show that he had appropriated the whole market to the purposes for which it was designed; and as it appeared that the plaintiff had not done so, he should direct a nonsuit, giving leave to move, in case his opinion should be thought open to correction. The plaintiff was accordingly nonsulted. The causes in this day's paper were mostly undefended, or of very trivial nature, and many records were withdrawn, so that at half-past two the whole of the paper was disposed of, with the exception of one cause which had been postponed to this day for the accommodation of professional witnesses. The LORD CHIEF-JUSTICE took occasion to say, that he wished Attornies, when causes were settled, would send word to the office, in order that the real state of business might be known ; but he had no means of obliging them to do so. At half-past two the Court rose. We do not acquiesce in the statements which have appeared in some of the papers respecting the apparent illness of the Lord Chief Justice. He is certainly thinner than before the vacation ' • but in mind, he never was more vigorous and active s and we hear from good authority, that his general health is il3l. proving. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Nov. 3. _ _ ASSIGNEES OF HOWARD AND GIBBS v. JACKSON. f,lr. H tut. read the declaration, which set forth that this was an action brought by the assignees of " Howard and Gibbs against Thomas Jackson," for the payment of two promisory notes, value between 2,0001. and 3,0001., and endorsed to the bankrupts. Mr. Serjeant WILDE, in stating the case to the Jury, ex plained the nature of thebusiness of money agency which had been so long carried on by Messrs. Howard and Gibbs, and which had already, from the repetition of legal proceedings, acquired so much public notoriety. The defendant was now a man of considerable property, retired from business, but who formerly was extensively engaged as a horse dealer. At that time he became possessed of certain property in annuities, which led to his connexion with the firm of the bankrupts, and accounts of a very complicated nature appeared to have been Itypt open between the parties, the particulars of which would be rendered more intelligible from the evidence the Jury would collect from the statement of the accounts from the bankrupts' books. The defendant became possessed of some annuities on property of which Mr. Howard had become the purchaser, and a bond of 3,9001., and interest thereupon, then passed in the course of the account. Bills were after wards drawn by Jackson upon-Howard and Gibbs, in satisfac tion of this bond; but the -general result of the accounts was a balance of 2,4701. due by Mr. Jackson to the estate, subject only to a trifling deduction for a balance of one account with the bankrupts. The several transactions that had taken place between the parties were very obscure, without the information which the books alone could furnish : and Mr. Serjeant Wilde offered to refer the calculation to some person out of Court, for the purpose of having the simple facts reduced to a clearer form, Mr. Serjeant VAUGHAN, for the defendant, consented to this proposition, and the matter was referred accordingly.
