SCARLET' moved for a rule to show cause why a mandamus should not issue commanding the churchwardens of the parish of St. Pancras, Mid dlesex, to summon the parishioners in the four dis tricts to assemble, for the purpose of electing a ves try pursuant to the provisions of the Select Vestry Act applicable to the said parish, namely, an Act passed in the first and second years of his present Majesty. The parish officers had applied to the Secretary of State to direct the magistrates to issue warrants to enforce the payment of rates, and they had been told they must make the vestry a legal body, by compliance with the Act of Parliament. Under these circumstances no rate could be collec ted from those who acted in opposition to the ves try, and the more wealthy and well-disposed part of the parish were compelled to pay double. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE—What do you re quire us to do ? Sir J. SCARLETT-All we want is to be able to make a legal rate. The churchwardens ought to collect the parishioners living in four districts, to assemble the parish for the election of a vestry in pursuance of the provisions of the Act. The LORD CIIIEF JUSTICE—The mandamus will not direct them as to what, they are to do. Sir. J. SCARLETT —No. The churchwardens are directed to summon the parish together, and elect a vestry. The COURT granted a rule to show cause. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, JAN. 24. SITTINGS IN BANCO. WALKER V. GROOM AND ANOTHER.

The total claims against the estate amount to not less than 40,1901. 15s. 6d. The assets, as far as can be ascertained, are as follow :—Good debts 2,9001., and value of property belonging to the estate 4,6861. There are also doubtful and bad debts to the amount of 15,6001. The principal claim upon the estate is that of Messrs. Cunliffe and Co., which is nearly 16,0001., the greater part of which the banking firm proved for during the day. The bankrupts, at the close of the meeting to-day, passed their final examination. (Before Mr. Commissioner WILLIAMS.) FELIX WHITMORE'S BANKRUPTCY. A meeting of the creditors of Felix Whitmore, many years an extensive ale-brewer, of the Belve dere Brewery, Lambeth, was held to-day, for the proof of debts. The fiat was issued in December, 1832, and the brewery having been sold, this day was fixed for the declaratio❑ of a final dividend. The proofs and claims previously made against the estate amounted to 10,876/.135. 4d., and the proofs made during this day were 1,3261. 18s. 4d., making a total of proofs, &c., of 12,2031. 1 ls. Bd. The first dividend on the estate was three shillings in the pound, and the official assignee stated that a further dividend might be declared in about four months of two shillings in the pound. WOOLWICH PETTY SESSIONS. FORGERY AND FRAUD BY A SOLICITOR. Yesterday Mr. Thomas Gorham, solicitor, of Woolwich, was charged before Sir T. M. WILSON and a full bench of Magistrates with forgery and fraud to a considerable extent. Mr. Hudson, of Woolwich, builder, deposed as follows :—He said that the prisoner sent him a note requesting him to call upon him. He went, and th e prisoner stated that he had a 50/. bill upon Mr. Lewis Shrubsole, of Sheerness, which had been paid to him by persons for whom he had been em- Played ; he wanted some money to pay on account might i ty ded a u r c 'd t l i i f is of his brother Richard, for whom he had become the witness would take t n a e k t e a t t he fir b st ill fik he e and he afterwards g ave b t6 iii r y sit the bill until he had inquired the respecta of the This he did of a Mr. Canham, the prisoner 201. He paid the bill into Mr. Shrubsole Webb, of to be a for ge ry, Woolwich Bank, when it was ob servedthat the bill was a forgery. Mr. Thomas Mile -town, Sheerness, b w i e l r f l i :t i s the acceptor, proved whose name was on the BI present. writin g , The for his defence, that it was not his hand- The prisoner, on being eallenc)! prisoner, had ac said that he had nothing to o a_a_ Mr. Andrew Patterson, cepted a bill for 401. to accormtockahteeartihi; Wool_ was his brother-in-law. This bill had wards been altered to 140/4 the stamp had after wards cut off and another put on. The bill was paid into en the house of Noakes and Ward, bankers, at wich, when the fraud was discovered. Mr. Noakes, to v'hom the prisoner had been articled, had now, on his own behalf, to bring for ward a case of the blackest ingratitude he had ever met with. Some short time ago the prisoner ap. plied to him for the loan of 1001., and tendered the lease of certain premises stated to be at Tooting, Surrey, as security. He advanced the money, but he had since discovered that the lease was entirely At the risk of being deemed importunate and te dious, we must continue to press upon the attention of our readers the claims of this important under taking. In our fourth page will be found an article from the—Merthyr Guardian, showing the benefit that will in all probability accrue to South Wales from its adoption. We rejoice at this the more, inasmuch as the co-operation of the great iron and coal interests of South Wales is much to be desired, and we should regret to see their energies wasted upon another plan, infi nitely more speculative, which would in some degree have come in opposition to the Western Railway. It argues well for the latter, that in all the lines which would have interfered with its formation, it has been considered advisable to withdraw their pretensions. Ably, however, as:the Western Rail way has been advocated, there is one point which we do not think has been insisted on ; and that is, the establishment of Bristol as a Packet Station to the United States, &c. At present, almost all the lucrative passages between this country and America are taken from' Liverpool, and one consequence is, that the Liverpool merchants are thereby enabled to take and bring back goods upon much lower terms than Bristol ship pers, who have only freight to look to for remu neration. Now we believe that we are strictly correct in saying, that upon an average of cases, vessels from the States could run into Bristol two days earlier than they would reach Liverpool. Suppose the railway established, we believe that New York, via Bristol, would be at least three days nearer London than via Liverpool, and what immense advantage this saving of time would afford, in a multitude of instances, need not he pressed upon our mercantile readers. That our enterprising neighbours of the North are fully aware of such advantage may be judged of from the fact, that although there are already five distinct lines of packets (on the Ist, the Bth, the 15th, the 20th, and the 25th of every month) another line is now started on the 14th and 30th of the Fame. If only a portion of this activity existed at Bristol, our It.- mentations over the decline of its trade would soon cease to be founded on fact. (From the llierthyr Guardian.) We stated in our last number that a meeting had been held at Bath to take into consideration the expediency of forming the Great Western Railway from Bristol to Lon don. The intelligence that we then laid before our readers showed that the plan was approved and warmly supported; but subsequent intelligence, found in ano , her column, in forms us that a deputution from the Bristol Committee has proceeded to Ireland, to lay the plan before the wealthy landholders of that country. We conceive that the Great Western Railway is a pro ject deserving much more serious attention than it has yet received from the southern part of the Principality. It is now about five months since we first announced to the public the project conceived by Mr. Woodeson of a railway to lead from Milford, through Gloucester, to London. After we had for some weeks adverted to this subject, it attracted the attention of one of our respected subscribers, a gentleman of great influence and discernment, at whose suggestion Mr. Woodeson laid his plan before the princi pal iron masters of Merthyr, and afterwards before the public meeting held ha this town. The result of this meeting, and of the consequent meetings at Swansea and Need), is fresh in the memory of our readers. In this stage of the affair, Mr. Woodeson proceeded to Gloucester, with the view, it was generally supposed, of drawing the attention of the inhabitants of that district, to the great advantag, s of a railway communication between them and London. Here, however, to the unqualified surprise of; we believe, every man in Wales, the idea of a railroad to London appears to have been dropped, and a railroad from Gloucester to Birmingham to have been unexpectedly and solely contemplated. A railway to London was an object in which the interests of all Wales were evidently and deeply concerned : but one to Bir mingham was, we conceive, a very different matter. Such a railroad can have been useful to us only on the supposition, either that Birmingham was a natural market for our produce; or that it was a stage in advance towards London ; or that it was one towards Liverpool. As to the first supposition ; 19 tons in 20 of Welch ex ports are coal or iron ; but who would send these things 150 miles, for sale to people who dig them from beneath their own cellars? In the second supposed case, (besides making our road two sides of a triangle) we leave it open to the Staffordshire ironmasters, our natural rivals on this occasion, to lay a prohibitory duty on our produce. There can be no doubt that the great hulk of the shares in the London and Birmingham Railway will be held by these gentlemen. In the Act of Parliament for forming their railroad, it will be necessary to limit the tonnage to a certain rate. By introducing, under the plea of a sure protection, a rate rather higher than is absolutely neces• eery; and then by charging on the Welch iron the full legal rate and on their own only the smallest saving rate, it will be open to the Staffordshire ironmasters to impose on the Welch iron a duty which will put us out of the London market. So much for the value of a railway to Birmingham, as in transitit to London. And if we con sider it as a road towards Liverpool, we are to remember that the value of that market is almost wholly for ship ping, to places to which we can sail from Cardiff, New port, or Swansea, without going over 200 miles of land. It appears from these reasons that the Gloucester and Birmingham Railway, great as will be its usefulness to the many seats of trade through which it will pass, is not that great thoroughfare that is necessary for the traffic of Wales; but in the Bristol and London Railway, we have an intere,t which deserves our very serious attention. By a line about 28 miles in length, leading from Gloucester, passing a little to the west of Cirencester, we strike into the Great Western Railway a little North of Swinton, and thus reach the metropolis with an expense, East of Glou cester, of only 28 miles, instead of 106 miles, in con structing a railroad. The vast importance to the Prin cipality in forming a railway communication with London is so manifest, that it were wasting the time of our readers to dwell upon it. In our case it is a matter of self-preservation ; for if we have it not, our pro duce is shut out from the market by more enterprising rivals. Let not those districts of South Wales to which the road does not reach, suppose they are not affected by it : in the increased trade and wealth of Merthyr and Swansea and Neath, there is a great accession to the value of tne agricultural and manufactured produce, and to the em. pioyment for the industry of Breconshire, Ctrmarthen shire, and even Pembrokeshire : and a railroad to Swan sea is only an anticipation by some few years of a railroad to Milford. The Great Western Railroad was first pro• jetted in Bristol, where it underwent the searching exa mination of many intelligent men before it was announced v t t i usii t :oe h na e otaf p ray u t ht t e r iec l in i h c beeu : nb i ev t bshl w as afterwards adopted with great eager. mess in London as a prudent investment of capital : and schemes, c d t h w h e e na h when the j e: e m:a o t r a ' k r j e e e t d ww prettyai s tini s not, ‘ o l I n a s e t : i:.ne tired the few d d bn a e y e s a s g u o b:c ig rited tthousand out o f t en th ousan d sh a r e s ; hundr e d and forty-tw these to b e convincing oaptroooni of ti t b h l e tc sou e nd ti ness l o t ,.

The circumstances attending the trial for the murder of Mr. Colin Campbell, of Glenure, supposed to have been perpetrated by Allan Breck, under the instiga tion of Mr. James Stewart, who was brought to trial, were of a very extraordinary and mysterious nature. A bitter feud had for some time existed between the clans of Campbells and Stewarts, and it was at the time considered that justice was not done to the accused by placing his fate in the hands of a jury of Campbells. Much may be expected from such a remarkable subject in the hands of so able a writer as the author of " The Subaltern." We are led to expect a story of equal interest with that master piece by Bulwer, " Eugene Aram." Mr. Gleig's new work is announced under the title of " Allan Breck.". EXTRAORDINARY SUICIDE.—Last night an Inquest was held at the London Hospital, before Mr. Baker, on the body of Catherine Rennell, a young wo man, aged 20. On Monday afternoon, the deceased was drinking with a young woman named Wilks and another person, at 40, Phoenix-street, Brick-lane, when Wilks lost her ring, and the deceased was accused of having taken it. She sent for a young man named Tipple, with whom she cohabited, and told him, in tears of the ac cusation ; but Tipple replied that she was served right, as she ought not to have got drunk. The deceased then collared Tipple, and insisted o❑ his remaining and drink ing with them ; he remained there, but refused to take any liquor, on which she seized an oyster knife, and, with a horrible expression, said she would stab him. Tipple warded off the blow, and held both her arms until he thought she was cooled ; but on letting her free she snatched up a table knife, and said " I would as soon stab you as myself," and, at the same time plunged the wea pon into the right side of the abdomen, and instantly fell on the floor. She died on Tuesday last, of the wound. It appeared that she was a woman of very violent tem per. Verdict—Temporary Insanity, caused by excessive drinking. ‘, The first thing, I did," said Davy, " after I got to Washington„ was to go to the President's house, —thinks I, whose afeared If 1 didn't I wish I may be shot. Says I, ' Mr. Adams, I'm Mr. Crockett, from Tennessee.' So,' says he, ' how d'ye do, Mr. Crockett, and he shook me by the hand, although he knowed I went the whole hog for Jackson. If he didn't I wish I may be shot. Not only that, but he sent me a printed ticket to dine with him. I've got it in my pocket yet. (Here the printed ticket was exhibited for the admiration of the whole company.) I went to dinner, and I walked all round the long table, looking for something I liked. At last I took my seat just beside a fat goose, and I helped myself to as much of it as 1 wanted. But I hadn't took three bites, when I looked away up the table at a man they called Tash ' (attache). He was talking French to a woman on t'other side of the table. He dodged his head and she dodged hers, and then they got to drinking wine across the table. But when I looked bark again my plate was gone, goose and all. So I jist cast my eyes down to t'other end of the table, and, sure enough, I seed a white man walking off with my plate. I says, Hello, Mister, bring back my plate.' He fetched it back in a hurry, as you may think ; and when he set it down before me, how do you think it was? Licked as clean as r:;) hand. If it wasn't I wish I may be shot. Says he, What will you have, Sir ? And says You may well say that after stealing my goose.' And he began to laugh. Then says I, Mister, laugh if you please; but I don't half like such tricks upon travellers.' I then filled my plate with bacon and greens; and whenever I looked up or down the table, I held on my plate with my left hand. When we were all done ea•ing, they cleared every thing off the table, and took away the cloth. And wh think ? Th ere was ano •h er cloth tita,ler it. If do you there wasn't I wish I may be shot. Then I saw a man coming along, carrying a great glass thing, with a glass handle below, stimething like a candlestick. It was stuck full of little glass cups, with something in them that looked good to eat. Says I, ' Mister, bring that thing here.' Thinks I, let's taste them fist. They were mighty sweet and good ; so I took six of 'em.

Whereas it is provided by the statutes 3 and 4 William IV., cap. 42, sec. 1, that the Judges of the Superior Courts of Common Law, at Westminster, or any eight or more of them, of whom the chiefs of each of the said Courts should be three, should and might, by any rule or order to he from time to time by them made, in term or vacation, at any time within five years from the time when the said Act should take effect, make such alterations in the mode of pleading in the said Courts, and in the mode of entering and transcribing pleadings, judgments, and other proceedings in actions at law, and such regula tions as to the payment of costs, and otherwise, for car rying into effect the said alterations as to them might seem expedient; which rules, orders, and regulations were to be laid before both Houses of Parliament, as therein mentioned; anct.were not'to have,effe - a until six weeks after the same should have beei:so laid before both Houses of Parliament, but after that time should be binding and obligatory on the said Courts, and all other Courts of Common Law, and be of the like force and effect as if the provisions contained therein bad been expressly enacted by Parliament. Provided, that no such rule or order should have the effect of depriving any person of the power of pleadine the general issue, and of giving the special matter in evidence, in any case wherein he then was or thereafter should be entitled so to do by virtue of any Act of Parlia ment then or thereafter to be in force. It is therefore ordered, that from and after the first day of Easter Term next inclugive, unles Parliament shall in the mean time otherwise enact, the following rules and regulations, made pursuant to the said statute, shall be in force : I.—GENERAL RULES AND REGULATIONS. I. Every pleading, as well as the declaration, shall be entitled of the day of the month and year when the same was pleaded, and shall bear no other time or date; and every declaration, and other pleading, shall also be entered on the record made up for trial, and on the Judg ment-roll, under the date of the day of the month and year when the same respectively took place, and without reference to any other time or date, unless otherwise spe cially ordered by the Court or a Judge. 2. No entry of continuances by way of imparlance curia advisari vult, vice comes non misit breve, or otherwise, shall be made upon any record or roll whatever, or in the pleadings, except the jorata ponilur in respectu, which is to he retained. Provided that such regulation shall not alter or affect any existing rules of practice as to the times of proceeding in the cause. Provided also, that in all cases in which a plea puffs darrein continuance is now by law pleadable in bane or at nisi pries, the same defence may be pleaded, with an allegation that the matter arose after the last pleading, or the issuing of the jury process, as the case may be. Provided also, that no such plea shall be allowed, unless accompanied by an affidavit that the matter thereof arose within eight days next before the pleading of such plea, or unless the Court or a Judge shall otherwise order. 3. All judgments, whether interlocutory or final, shall be entered of record, of the day of the month and year, whether in term or vaca►ion, when signed, and shall not have relation to any other day. Provided that it shall be competent for the Court or a Judge to order a judgment to be entered nunc pro tunc. 4. No entry shall be made on record of any warrants of attorney to sue or defend. 5. Aad whereas, by the mode of pleading hereinafter prescribed, the several disputed facts, material to the me rits of the case, will before the trial be brought to the no tice of the respective parties more distinctly than hereto. fore ; and by the said Act of 3 and 4 William IV., c. 42, s. 23, the powers of amendment at the trial in cases of variance, in particulars not material to the merits of the case, are greatly enlarged. says that." 11. It shall not be necessary to state, in a second or other plea or avowry, that it is pleaded by leave of the Court, or according to the form of the statute, or to that effect. 12. No protestation shall hereafter be made in any pleading ; but either party shall be entitled to the same advantage in that or other actions as if a protestation had been made. 13. All special traverses, or traverses with an induce ment of affirmative matter, shall conclude to the country. Provided that this regulation shall not preclude the opposite party from pleading over to the inducement when the traverse is immaterial. Several counts shall not be allowed, unless a distinct subject matter of complaint is intended to be established in respect of each ; nor shall several pleas, or avowries, or cognizances be allowed, unless a distinct ground of answer or defence is intended to be established in respect of each. Therefore, counts founded on one and the same prin cipal matter of complaint, but varied in statement, de scription, or circumstances only, are not to be allowed. Er. gr.—Counts founded upon the same contract, described in one as a contract without a condition, and in another as a contract with a condition, are not to be allowed, for they are founded on the same subject matter of complaint, and are only variations in the statement of one and the same contract. 14. The form of a demurrer shall be as follows : " The said defendant, by , his attorney," (or " in person," &c., or " plaintiff,") " says that the decla tion (or plea, &c.) is not sufficient in law," showing the special causes of demurrer, if any. The form of a joinder in demurrer shall be as follows : " The said plaintiff (or defendant) says that the declaration (or " plea," &c.) is sufficient in law." 15. The entry of proceedings on the record for trial, or on the judgment roll (according to the nature of the case), shall be taken to be, and shall be in fact, the first entry of the proceedings in the cause, or of any pin thereof, upon record, and no fees shall be payable in respect of any prior entry made, or supposed to be made, on any roll or record whatever. So counts for not giving, or delivering, or accepting, a bill of exchange, in payment, according to the contract of sale, for goods sold and delivered, and for the price of the same goods to be paid in money, are not to be allowed. So counts for not accepting and paying for goods sold, and for the price of the same goods, as goods bargained and sold, are not to he allowed. 16. No fees shall be charged in respect of more than one issue by any officers of the Court, or of any Judge at the Assizes, or any other officer, in any action of assumpsit, or in any action of debt on simple contract, or in any action on the case. But counts upon a bill of exchange, or promissory note, and for the consideration of the bill or note, in gcods, money, or otherwise, are to be considered as founded on distinct subject matters of complaint, for the debt and the security are different contracts; and such counts are to be a'lowed. 17. When money is paid into Court, such payment shall be pleaded in all cases, and as near as may be in the following form, mutatis mutandis : " C. D. The ats A. B. The defendant, by his attorney (or "in person," &e), says that the plaintiff ought not further to maintain his action, because the de fendant now brings into Court the sum of £ ready to be paid to the plaintiff. And the defendant fur ther says, that the plaintiff has not sustained damages (or in actions of debt " that he is not indebted to the plaintiff") to a greater amount than the said sum, &c., in respect of the cause of action, in the declaration mentioned, and this be is ready to verify,—wherefore he prays judg ment if the plaintiff ought further to maintain his action." - IS. No rule or Judge's order to pay money into Court shall be necessary, except' under the 3d and 4th William IV. c. 42, s. 21, but the money shall be paid to the proper officer of each Court who shall give a receipt for the amount in the margin of the plea, and the said sum shall be paid out to the plaintiff on demand. day of Two counts upon the same policy of insurance are nct to be allowed. But a count upon a policy of insurance, and a count for money had and receivgd, to recover hack the premium, upon a contract implie3 by law, are to be allowed. Two counts on the same charter-party are not to be allowed. But a count for freight upon a charter.party, and for freight pro rata itineris, upon a contract implied by law, are to be allowed. Counts upon a demise, and for use and occupation of the same land, for the same time, are not to be allowed. In actions of tort for misfeasance, several counts for the same injury, varying the description of it, are not to be allowed. In the like actions for non-feasance, several counts, founded on varied statements of the same duty, are not to be allowed. Several counts in trespass, for acts committed at the same time and place, are not to be allowed. Where several debts are alleged in indebitatus as sumpsit to be due in respect of several matters—ex'. gr. for wages, work, and labour as a hired servant, work and labour generally, goods sold and delivered, goods bargained and sold, money lent, money paid, money had and re ceived, and the like, the statement of each debt is to be considered as amounting to a several count, within the meaning of the rule, which forbids the use of several counts, though one promise to pay only is alleged in con sideration of all the debts. 19. The plaintiff, after the delivery of a plea of pay ment of money into Court, shall be at liberty to reply to the same, by accepting the sum to be paid into Court, in full satisfaction and discharge of the cause of action, in respect of which it has been paid in, and he shall be at liberty in that case to tax his costs of suit, and in case of non.payment thereof within 48 hours to sign judgment for his costs of suit so taxed ; or the plaintiff may reply that he has sustained damages (or " that the defendant is indebted to him," as the case may be) to a greater amount than the said sum," and in the event of an issue 'hereon being found for the defendant, the defendant should be entitled to judgment and his cots of suit. 20. In all cases under the 3d and 4th William IV., e. 42, s. 10, in which, after a plea to abatement of the non-joinder of another person, the plaintiff shall, without having proceeded to trial on an issue thsicon, commence mother action against the defendant or defendants in the tction in which cinch plea in abatement shall have been pleaded, and the person or persons n imed in such 11 , a in ,batement as joint contractors ; the commencement of the declaration shall be in the following form Provided that a count for money due on an account stated inky be joined with any other count for a m,ine demand, though it may not be intended to establish a distinct subject matter of complaint in respect of earl, of such counts. The rule which forbids the use of several counts is not to be considered as precluding the plaintiff fruili alleging more breaches than one of the same contract in the same count. Ex. gr.—Pleas, avowries, and cognizinces, founded on one and the same principal matter, but varied in statement, description, or circumstances only (and pleas in bar in replevin are within the rule), are ant to be allowed. Ex. gr.—Pleas of solvit ad diem, and of solvit post diem, are both pleas of payment, varied in the circum stance of titre only, and are not to be allowed.
