SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. It is now a matter of public notoriety that the great offices of State are to continue in abeyance until the return of Sir R. Peel. The Clerks, who have been thus unexpectedly elevated to the seats of their former masters, act under the direction of " His Highness," who issues his orders to the various departments as if it had been the legitimate province of the Premier to exercise hims?.,if all the functions of Government. Heretofore the division of power among the chief officers of state was regarded as a most important se curity to the public. The Cabinet is a little republic where one Minister is a check on another ; and the Ministers being necessarily men of different stations, professions, and pursuits, their combination in any design injurious to the liberty of the country is proportionately difficult, and they ate less likely to be subservient to the caprice of an injudicious master, or to the dictation of a too powerful sub ject. In Austria and Russia, the Cabinet vir tually consists of a single individual. " His Highness the Dictator " is enamoured of the fame of the Potemkins and Metternichs, and seems determined to introduce the practice into Great • Britain, Never was a Minister so eager to clutch in his single grasp all the power of :the State. He had hardly received the seals from the King when he hurried to take possession ,of the Home-office ; and in a few hours after he had prepared his Trea sury minutes, though the patent of the Lords Com missioners of the late Government was still in exist ence, and of course his authority could not be recog nised. His next attack was on the Admiralty ; but he was equally foiled there by the existing patent of the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty ; and lie was so deeply mortified at this unexpected defeat of his plans, that he is said to have consulted. his friend Sir James Scarlett, on the possibility of de vising some summary mode of removing such inconvenient obstructions. " His Highness suf fered another check at the Post-office. He had proceeded with very unbecoming expedition to appropriate the patronage of that department ; but the Marquis of Convngham answered with becoming spirit that he was reaily, and had offered, to resign, but as long as he remained Postmaster-General, and responsible for the Post-office appointments, none of them should be made except by himself. 'We could recount other traits of " his Highness" of a similar nature, but these are a sufficient foretaste of what we may expect from " his Highness the Dictator." They show the man, and they will not be lost on the people of England.—Morning Chronicle. The John Bull of yesterday has discovered a mare's nest, of which it intended to make a great matter : Lord Brougham is represented as guilty of great inde corum, in returning the Great Seal through Sir Her bert Taylor. It is hard upon poor John Bull that its friends should permit their Sunday organ to fall into so silly an error. It ought to have been better in formed on the subject. Its friends should have told it that the manner of delivering up the Great Seal was strictly* in accordance with the arrangement pre viously determined upon by his Majesty. In such a matter as this, it is manifest that the Chancellor would not wish to refuse compliance with his Majesty's de sire.—Morning Chronicle. It is the fate—the, perhaps, unavoidable fate—of all persons high in office to be surrounded by a little clique or coterie, who, having constant access to them, poison their ear by representations .wholly destitute of foundation, or with facts so discoloured and distorted as to be more mischievous than direct falsehoods. That the Duke of Wellington has already been, more than once, the victim of this species of delusion, no one who looks back to the causes which led to his Grace's re tirement from office can for a moment doubt. The Duke himself was uninformed of the real state of pub lic opinion, while those about him used every means of deceiving both themselves and him. No man can fall into a greater mistake, but a statesman especially, than to consider the little circle in which he moves as a fair epitome of the real world. However private individuals may suffer themselves to be thus imposed upon, in a statesman it is an unpardonable fault and a ruinous error. His eye and ear should be every where, with a mind able to discriminate and turn to useful account the truths thus acquired. Though it is as yet early to pronounce upon the policy which may guide the Duke of Wellington on his present return to office, it can never be too early to warn him from the quicksand s on w hi c h hi s f ame an d ex i stence as a King's Minister have already been shipwrecked. There are those who imagine that they already see in the names of some of those by whom his Grace has hi therto been associated since his return to office, some symptoms of their constituting the sort of clique to which we have alluded. We trust that such antici pators are wrong. There can, however, be no harm in apprising the Duke of Wellington how much more wrong he will be should such suspicions turn out in the end to be true ; a knowledge which, if ever it do occur, will come too late to be of any use. Above all we would warn the Duke of Wellington agaiiist assuming that, because the country in general views with even more than indifference the downfal of his political opponents, they are therefore prepared to adopt as the principles of his Grace's future govern ment the errors of his past Administration. This would, indeed, be the most fatal delusion which the coterie in question, if there be such a one, could inflict upon the Duke or upon themselves. The truth, we believe, is that the bulk of the right-judging part of the community is sick of ultraism in both its extremes—the schemes of the destructives on the one hand, or the abuses upheld by the non-reforming To ries on the other. What the country wishes to see is a wholesome, moderate reform of all abuses in Church and State. They wish to see an Administration in which the abominable theories of the Multhusians and Doctrinaires will find no place, but who, looking stea dily to our national interests both at home and abroad, will not be drawn aside from promoting them, either by noisy clamour or interested zeal. Upon the trite maxim, that " when things come to the worst they mend," never was a wider field of national improve merit open to any Statesman than that which now pre sents itself to the Duke of Wellington. May he avail himself of it, and thus add another trophy to his high imperishable fame—another link to the chain of grati tude which must ever bind his country to him. But this enviable addition to his Grace's character can only be obtained by his as assiduously repudiating his own past errors as those of his opponents.—Morn. Herald. " Measures not men," is now the motto of the Times. We say men and measures, and it is to ex pose the fallacy of this specious motto that we intend to call the attention of our readers to the measures which have originated from the late Administration. England undoubtedly requires both men and measures. It requires measures, and men who will carry them into execution in the spirit in which they are framed. For instance, we have lately obtained the emancipation of the slaves : we have lately placed the whole of our Indian colonies under a liberal and enlightened policy. Will any one be mad enough to say that the diffi culties which must arise in carrying these great mea sures into effect will be met in the same spirit of libe rality by the Duke of Wellington as by Lord Mel bourne ? Can the Duke and his party, who have opposed both the principle and the details of these im portant and comprehensive measures, meet with energy the difficulties which of necessity must arise in their practical application? Will he endeavoar to overcome these difficulties in the same spirit as those who framed the measures, and with whom they originated . ,? Ought this first and most extensive application of the princi ples of civil and religious liberty to our colonies to be entrusted to Tories, or ought it not rather to,be under the care and guidance of a Government of men who have all their lives advocated such principles? For such reasons we say men are required. No political declaration of the Duke of Wellington, however ap parently lib era l, can h ave any we i g h t with the coun try. No man in his senses can believe that ttlerewill be more th an a sem bl ance o f lib era li ty i n the achnuus tration of any Reform which he or his colleagues may propose. Again, are not men required to work out the facts collected by the various commissions which have been recently appointed ? Will the Duke of Wellington, the friend of all the Members of the Holy Alliance—th e friend of the Bourbons —the friend of Metternich and the Austrian pc licy—the friend of Migueland the friend of Don Carlos ? will he meet the Commissioners appointed by the French Government to inquire into the commercial relations of England and France, with the liberality and enlightened views which we know are entertained by the Members of the late Government ? Will the Tory Chancellor, Mr. Goul burn, who is every day figuring in the Court Circu lar, meet the recommendations of Mr. Poulett Thom son as Lord Alt horp would have done ? Shall we, under Mr. Herries, find the French Government in clined to continue in the good work of removing prohi-, batons? Will they have confidence in his justice and liberality ? We say they will not, cannot—and thus the good feeling between the two countries, which has been so much increased during the last few years will be arrested at a time when the fairest prospects are before us. Will a Tory Ministry second the efforts of the Commissioners appointed to examine into the abuses of Corporations ? Will they dare to ' lessen borough and corrupt influence ? Will they dare to risk the loss of a vote by such liberal measures ? No—it is impossible. Their friends must be protected. What will become of the Commission of Inquiry into the state of the Irish Church ? Will the old and stale Tory trick of expediency be again resorted to ? Will the people of England trust Church Reform, and par ticularly Irish Church Reform, to the friends of the Hierarchy ? Will they be satisfied that the statements which may be made to them are accurate and unin fluenced by party feelings ? It is impossible, and as absurd as imposssible, to suppose that the principles of religious liberty, lately so predominant, can be ut terly eradicated from the minds of the constituency of the country. Thank God, the days of bigotry are passed. .Nothing can drive this country again into the trammels of the priesthood ? The country demands an extensive Church Reform, and it will have it ; and mistaken, indeed, shall we be, if we find the libera criminate between the ends of establishments and their abuses, who are willing to, repair the ravages of time, or to aid and expedite its beneficial influences—men who can reconcile a deep respect for the rights of pro perty, with tenderness for the sufferings of the poor- , -- -men who in the supremacy of a representative Go vernment, founded on a broad basis of popular elec tion, can discern the insignificance and nullity of that, which was once the ruling power of this kingdom— we mean a fixed and standing political party—men, finally, who will obtain 'justice for the people of Ire land, and inflict it on • the disturbers of her peace. With a House of Commons selected on such prin ciples, there is no fear but that the wants of the people will be known, and being known, we defy any Govern ment that ever existed in the face of such an organ to neglect them. Meetings have taken place, and are in progress throughout the country, for ascertaining or recording , the sentiments of the people. One at Stroud, in Gloucestershire, a dinner given to Mr. Tracy Leigh, was attended by several members of Parliament, besides a large body of gentlemen and others in that neighbourhood, amongst whom it was evident a strong reform spirit prevailed. A county meeting has been summoned, we understand, for Surrey, Lord King in the chair, to consider the cir cumstances of the country. There are others also which we have no room to notice. At Liverpool, on the other hand, a deputation of the Irish Conservatives has been received by a large meeting of their Lan cashire brethren e 'and eloquent speeches were made by the Rev. Messrs. Boyton and O'Sullivan, from Ire land. A similar meeting is expected at Bristol. An address from ten of the metropolitan members to the electors will be found in another column, which de dares a decided hostility to the new Ministers, spring ing from a rooted•distrust of their policy, and .persuad ing all classes of reformers to merge their differences and unite for a common object ; thus with singular in party backward in supporting those who alone can re form the Church, upon principles which are not base( on sordid and selfish motives. During the lastfew years, also, an attempt has been making by the Government to introduce a system of universal education, based upon the plan adopted successfully in Prussia. Can those who have been the constant supporters of all re strictions of the liberties of the subject, support and assist in the perfecting of so important a a work? And lastly, will the country entrust the Duke of Wellington with the application of the Coer cion Bill? This power was granted to the Whigs, because the country felt confidence in its not being abused. 'But suppose its provisions applied to pre vent the expression of political feeling at the present crisis ; suppose the great Military Chief placing IrelanJ under martial law, because of the indignation which will, in all probability, be expressed by that nation at his being again placed at the head of affairs—we say, to a Tory Government no such power would have been given ; and we do not think the country will be in clined to entrust them with it. When our readers reflect on the importance of the measures now re quiring the attention of men as liberal as those who framed them, we think they will agree with us, that men are now wanted as much as measures. A Tory Administration, however, may promise, but it cannot perform. It may, to court popularity, propose the abo lition of the malt tax, or the window tax—it may promise a Church reform ; but if, when Parliament meets, the Tories should, under such specious pretences, have a majority—then we shall find, as we have always found, that the principle of a Tory Government is to do little, and to grant only so much as will enable them to maintain their places and their power. But it is impossible, whatever they may promise, that they can have a majority in this Parliament. Will they, then, have one in another Parliament ? is the question which is anxiously asked by every one. We confidently assert they will not. The constituency of England never will entrust their interests to those who, like their unprincipled supporter, " the Times," can be any thing at any time to secure power, place, and money. Can the country trust those who have now- for four years been predicting that ruin and disgrace must be the consequence of that Reform which the people have demanded and obtained ? No, no ; to speculate on such a change of opinion is folly and waste of time. It has not taken place, and we are sure that the unprincipled sophistry of the Times will be futile and harmless, and that the nation will with one voice declare, that they want MEASURES, and MEN who are able to support them in "spirit and in truth."—Morning Advertiser. An evening contemporary, supposed to be in the confidence of the " provisional" Cabinet, announces its fears that a dissolution of Parliament cannot be dispensed with, the " caballing" of the metropolitan members, and a repetition of the meeting of Reformers at Stroud on Friday last, being likely " to render it impossible for any Government not prepared to sacri fice the King to go on with the present House of Commons." This opens a very serious subject. If the present House of Commons be such as the Duke of Wellington or Sir R. Peel cannot " go on with,". it must be that the House of Commons is held by them to be of a tendency too democratic, or being, as the Standard has it, " prepared to sacrifice the King." Now, it is unquestionably true that men of all shades of opinion, and even where there is no definite opinion, of all shades of character, temper, and of passion, have found their way into the present House of Commons. From " divine right," to the " rights of man," a few samples of all forms of politics, however monstrous, may perhaps be found there ; but such extreme ca; es , whether ultra-monarchical or ultra-republican 3 are, it is plain, but few, perhaps not exceeding F,it or 70, both extremes included, out of an asseit'oty of 658. But w.e may ask, is it not quite cle,af, that had not a large majority of the House of Commons been attached to the Sovereign and the ""State, ay, and to the Church also (save only ita abuses), it would have gone some lengths in the path of revolution, and would have en acted measures tending to a democratic subversion of the Monarchy ? Did Lord Grey, a man devoted no lesS to the Crown and Aristocracy than to the people, ever complain that the House of Commons, which, al though it generally supported his policy, was, neverthe less, opposed to it now and then, consisted in any de gree worth mentioning, of materials which threatened serious danger to the Monarch ? We apprehend not. 'We never heard that the present House of Commons was held by the reasonable Reformers of England to be a revolutionary or ill-disposed body, although it did and does, as we have said before, contain in it some few members who are not the fittest companions possible for well-educated, honest, or loyal English men. If then this assembly be dissolved by the Crown for its assumed excess of democratic leaven, the prima facie conviction of the people of England will be, that a Parliament less favourable to popular rights—in the sense of Conservatives less revolutionary—but in that of those who are not Conservatives less friendly to the progress of reform—is wanted by the advisers of the Crown ; and therefore that its present or coming ad visers have not a due sympathy with the general spirit of the nation. Contemplating matters in this light, we hope that Ministers may prepare such measures as will meet the sanction of the existing House of Com mons. If it should be otherwise, and a dissolution £hould take place, the duty of the electors is self evident. We have all along maintained that it was impossible for the Duke of Wellington or any other Statesman to remain three months in the Government of Great Britain except as a reform Minister, and for the plain reason that the mind of the whole kingdom was made up upon that question, and would instantly compel an anti-reform Cabinet to retire. But since the only manner in which the nation can constitutionally make known its will, and evince its attachment to reform, is through the voice of its representatives in the House of Commons, it follows that the only constitutional means of enforcing, if necessary, upon the Adminis tration the expediency of a Reform system, is by a choice of the greatest possible number of Reform Can didates that can be secured throughout the whole realm. We.desire no republicans—no revolutionists— no fanatics, either religious or anti-religious --no des perate adventurers—no mere paupers—of such we have had, though not many, examples more than enough to satisfy an intelligent and upright English man that they are not the proper stuff for Representa tives of his opinions or for guardians of his welfare. It is reformers we demand, and not destructives—men placed by birth or the fruits of industry above the temptations of dependence. It is men who can dis decency begging the whole - question, and endeavouring to excite alarm by vague and indefinite surmises and suspicions. What the result may be of the move ments pro and con., a short time, we apprehend, will show with sufficient clearness ; but in the meanwhile it is mere drivelling to imagine that there will be any where the slightest tendency to other than the most peaceful and orderly expression of public feeling.— Times. THE SUN, LONDON, TIMSDAY, NOVEMBER 25,.: 18x4. METROPOLITAN CENTRAL COURT. OLD BAILEY OLD COURT. Yesterday being the first day of the Sessions under the new Metropolitan Central Bill, the Court was crowded to excess by a number of gentlemen who had been summoned to attend as Grand and Petit Jurors. At tep o'clock the Lord Mayor, Sheriffs, Recorder, Common-Sergeant, and other City Authorities, entered the Court and took their seats on the Bench. The High Sheriffs of the Counties of Essex and Surrey were present, they being called on to attend by being placed under the jurisdiction of the Court. _ _ Upon the usual proclamation being made, the High Sheriffs were called on to deliver up the precepts sent to them in order that the King's Justices might act on them. In consequence of the crowded state of the Court the Recorder desired the gentlemen who were summoned on the Grand Jury to enter the box appointed for the Jury in waiting, which was done, and the Petit Jury took posses sion of the body of the Court. The names of the gentlemen of the Grand Jury were then called over, and Robert Hedger, Esq., the Chairman of the Surrey Sessions, was appointed the Foreman of the Grand Jury. Proclamation was then made by the Crier for silence dur ing the Recorder's charge to the Grand Jury. The Recorder having desired the gentlemen belonging to the Grand Jury to be seated, observed that as this was the first occasion of their being assembled together to give effect to the carrying of an Act of Parliament into execution, by which the New Criminal Metropolitan Court was esta blished, he trusted he should be excused in addressing them at some length on the provisions of the Act of Parliament. He would endeavour to do it as briefly as possible, observ ing that the members of the Grand Jury were gentlemen of great experience in their respective counties, arising from their filling the office of Magistrates, and also that of Grand Jurors. The Learned Recorder then proceeded to read the various clauses of the new Act, and explained them at con siderable length to the Grand Jury. On adverting to the fifth section, the Learned Recorder remarked that it gave the power to commit to one gaol all persons committing offences within the jurisdiction of the Court, and also to be imprisoned and kept in custody. The sending so many persons as would be. committed in execution to New gate, would be most prejudicial to the public at large. The gaol was not of a capacity to contain many persons, nor was it ever intended to contain persons committed in execution by the 6th and 7th sections of the Act. The Magistrates at Quarter Sessions had the power to commit in execution to the Penitentiary at Millbank, and which in his opinion was most admirably adapted for secondary pu nishments. He considered it was the best prison in the kingdom for the purpose of carrying the experiment relative to secondary punishments into effect. The Learned Judge then proceeded to the other clauses. One of the clauses gave this Court the power to try all cases committed on the high seas. Those offences were formerly tried in the Admiralty Court ; but by being authorised to be tried here, the Judge of the Court of Admiralty and the Dean . of Arches, were named in the Commission for the purpose of enabling the Court to have their assistance in matters of which they were more thoroughly acquainted. Of offences committed on the high seas there was one of a very serious nature, besides a number for assaults. There were other matters in the Act which he had no occasion to trouble them with. Perhaps there were some points which had been overlooked ; but these, in a few months, would be re medied. In carrying this Act of Parliament into effect, considering the vast variety of important subjects, it was a matter of surprise that so much had been effected. The Learned Recorder then proceeded to detail the cases which would come before them, and he should advise them in the most important cases to find true bills—and let the offences come before another tribunal. The Learned Recorder con cluded his address by thanking the Grand Jury for so nu merous an attendance from the different counties. The Petit JuiT, consisting of three persons from each county, was then sworn in. Mr. Barber Beaumont here applied to the Court to be allowed to go away. He was a Magistrate of Middlesex and Westminster, and had other duties to perform. He considered it was very hard that county Magistrates should be obliged to attend for the purpose of seeing if they were required on the Grand Jury when their presence was re quired elsewhere. ...The RECORDER observed that the gentlemen summoned were taken fairly from the various counties, and there were a sufficient number of. Magistrates left to perform the busi ness at the Quarter Sessions. Mr. B. Beaumont—l have to attend to-day at the County Court, Middlesex, on the new Act relative to the weights and measures ; and there are twelve Magistrates required to be in attendance before a Court can be formed. The LORD MAYOR observed that it was improper of any gentleman to interrupt the business of the Court. The RECORDER here said that those gentlemen who had not been called could leave the Court. The Grand Jury here entered the Court with some true bills. Ann Ma hony, a young woman, was indicted for stealing two rings and other articles of jewellery, and some wearing apparel, the property of Mrs. Ann Jury, her mistress, of No. 33, Bishopsgate-street. The prisoner made no defence, and the Jury instantly found her Guilty. About three o'clock the RECORDER remarked to the Jury there being nothing just then before the Court they could retire, if they wished, for a short time. Mr. PHILLIPS here made some remarks on the subject to the Recorder in a low tone of voice. The RECORDER—It is an arrangement of the Judges and not one of mine, and those cases are taken for the pur pose of enabling the Judges to come here on Wednesday to try the serious charges. Mr. PHILLIPS—By these delays, my Lord, there will be an enormous expense incurred to the county by the end of the year ; besides, we are obliged to attend. The RECORDER — If this mode of proceeding should be found practically inconvenient it can be amended at a fu ture time. It is the wish of the Court to attend to the c•nvenience of the Bar. Mr. PHILLIPS thought there was no occasion for any delay. After some further remarks from the Bar, The RECORDER said that he would most willingly assist the Bar in making arrangements for facilitating the busi ness ; he, however, thought that the business of the Coun ties ought to have the priority for the purpose of lessening the expenses. He should wish, as in the superior Courts, a list of the cases to be laid before the Bench. Mr. PHILLIPS—AS it used to be, my Lord, but I have no doubt that the Bill will work well. The Grand Jury here came in with some further bills, and the Court then proceeded on with the trials. About half-past four o'clock Mr. Doane inquired of the Recorder if the Court contemplated sitting after five o'clock. The RECORDER—It 1S very probable it will, for Mr. Ser jeant Arabin has made arrangements to come here at that hour ; but how long it will sit afterwards I cannot say. The Court then proceeded to try a case of pot-stealing, in which the prisoner was found Guilty. At five o'clock the RECORDER informed the Court that as the Grand Jury had broken up the Court would now adjourn ; and it was his wish to inform those gentlemen who were summoned for Grand Jurors that the reason of their being called together on a Monday was for the purpose of enabling them to be discharged during the current week. From the rapid manner they had found bills the two Courts would be enabled to sit to-morrow (this day), and on Wednesday some of the serious cases would be ready to come on before the Judges. For the purpose of preventing any delay those gentlemen who had been summoned on either Juries would be pleased to attend at half-past nine o'clock to-morrow (this day.) The Court was then adjourned. The High Sheriff of the county of Kent was not in at tendance in consequence of the death of his son. COURT OF KING'S BENCH.--Nov. 24. THE KING V. WARD. Mr. RICHARDS moved to make the rule for a criminal information absolute. Sir J. SCARLETT, Mr. POLLOCK, and Mr. FIUMFREY ap peared to show cause against the rule, which was for a cri minal - information against the publisher of the Morning Chronicle, for a libel upon Mr. Gregorie, one of the Police Magistrates of Queen-square office. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL spoke in support of the rule.: Lord DENMAN interrupted the Learned Gentleman in the course of his arguments, and said that the Court did not think any answer had been given to the charge made in the paper, that Mr. Gregoric had acted inconsistently with the first principles of justice. Mr. Justice TAUNTON observed that as the defendant had chosen to adopt Mr. Shillibeer's account of what had taken place at the Police Office, and had proceeded to argue upon that account, and made it the foundation of unwarranted statements, he must take the consequences. Rule for a criminal information absolute. BAIL COURT, Nov. 24, A motion was made for an information in the nature of a quo warranto, calling upon a gentleman named Abel. A nthony Gore to show cause why he claimed to exercise the office of portreeve of Kilgerran, in the county of Pembroke. By the rules of the corporation, before any burgess can be elected into the office, he must at least have served as bur gess for three years, if not for a longer period. The fact was, that Mr. Gore had not been elected a burgess without the prescribed time, and therefore the Learned Counsel submitted that he was bound to show that he was legally elected to the office. The Court directed the Learned Counsel to take a rule. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Nov. 24. ROSE V. MAINE. This was a case of considerable importance td the commercial world. The plaintiff was petitioning creditor and assignee of de fendant, under a fiat of bankruptcy, which had been issued against him on the Ist of November, 183.2. Plaintiff had proved his debt, which amounted to the sum of 1401. 16s. 3d., for goods sold and delivered. On the 16th of the same month plaintiff drew a bill of exchange for 701., at twelve month's date, which was accepted by defendant ; and an action was afterwards brought to recover the amount, when the Jury found a verdict for defendant. Mr. PARSTOW now moved for a rule to show cause why the verdict should not be set aside and a new trial had. The Learn f d Counsel contended for the plaintiff that were was nothing in the bankrupt laws which rendered it illegal for him to draw, and for defendant to accept a bill of exchange, as a security for the whole or part of the debt which had been formerly proved. That the Legislature had anticipated such cases would arise was evident from the words of the Bankrupt Act. The Learned Coun sel proceeded to read the Act of the 6th George 4th, section 131, wherein it was stated, that any debts or promises to pay, contracted or made by a bankrupt before receiving his certificate, should not be held binding unless in writing. The Court here inquired out of what fund the Learned Counsel imagined this bill was to be paid, supposing no certificate had been ottainel? Mr. PARs.row said in that case it must have remained unpaid, but here a certificate has been obtained before the bill became due. The COURT inquired whether the 701. was to be considered a part of:the debt of 140/ which had been proved by the plaintiff?— Mr. PAusTow---It is. Mr. KELLY appeared for the defendant, plaintiff had proved for his w h o l e deb' ,_ana he had no right .what ever appe ever to require any other secur::,,_c on tended that the y whatever from the defendant. s to us that upon a due and attentive con.. sideration both of " such a cont .ne letter and spirit of the Act of Parliament, contract as this is clearly illegal, and must consequently be held ni l and c void s void.—Rule made absolute. PREROGATIVE COURT—Nov. 24. HINDMARSH V. HINDMARSH. This was an allegation propounding t wo testamentary papers as together containin g th e w ill o Mr. Ralph Robin son Hindmarsh, of Basing-lane, plumber and builder, who died on the 27th of June. The papers were imperfect, and were prepounded for the opinion of the Court by Mr. James Hindmarsh, the brother of the deceased, and one of the executors, and opposed by Elizabeth Hindmarsh, spin ster, the deceased's sister. The personal property was alleged by one side to amount to 12,000/. ; on the other side the estate was alleged to be insolvent. The Court admitted the allegation. WALLIS V. WALLIS AND COURT. This was a suite for bringing in the probate of the will and a codicil of Mr. Thomas Wallis, coal-merchant and ship-master of Melcombe Regis, Dorset, which had been granted to Mr. Samuel Wallis, brother of the deceased, and Mr. William Court, the surviving ex ecutors, calling upon them to show cause w h y th e probate should not be revoked, and probate of the will alone granted. The suit was pro moted by Mr. Thomas Wallis, only son of the deceased, and one of the legatees. The deceased died on the sth of April, 1833, leaving a widow, two daughters, and a son, by a former wife, and a daughter by his surviving wife. The property was between 5,0001. and 6,0001. The will, which bore date the 10th of May, 1820, was not disputed. The codicil bore date on the day of the deceased's- death. The general effect of the latter was to increase the legacies to the second wife and her children, and to limit the benefit given by the will to the son to a life-interest, the principal to devolve to his children.- The codicil- was opposecF on the ground of the absence of instructions and the incapa city of the testator. The case was only opened, and the evidence partly read MEETING OF MIDDLESEX MAGISTRATES, A meeting of the Middlesex Magistrates was held yes terday, at which the Report of the Committee relative to weights and measures was presented. The Report stated that the Committee, in pursuance of a Resolution adopted at the last meeting, had, on the 19th of November, inserted an Advertisement in the newspapers for tenders for the supply of six copies of the imperial standard weights, in ad dition to those previously ordered ; and that, after exa mining the several tenders, orders had been given to Mr. Bates, Mr. Pontifex, Mr. Burchfield, and Mr. Williams, to supply the copies required. The Report recommended that the inspectors to be ap pointed under the Act do attend with the said weights and measures at the following places, in rooms to be fitted up for the purpose of stamping weights and measures brought to them, viz.:— Uxbridge, Hounslow, Kensington, Hendon, Edmonton and in some convenient places near Goodman's-fields Shoreditch Church, Goswell-street-road, Tottenham-court• road, and the Yorkshire Stingo. The Report also stated that the Committee having heard that there had been some delay at the Exchequer Office in stamping and verifying the copies of the imperial standard weights and measures, suggested the propriety of makinc , an immediate application to the Secretary of State upon the subject, in order that the persons who hat l entered into contracts to supply copies of the said weights zod mea sures might not be prevented by such delay frol It com pleting their contracts, as that would be a great, i ti c onveni ence to the public,. NEW COURT. Since the last sessions this. Court has again undergone considerable alteration and improvement, and by its admir able laying out is by far the handsomer Court of the two. The COMMON SERGEANT and Mr. Alderman HARMER at a quarter past ten o'clock took their seats upon the Bench, and proceeded to open the Commission.
