After his Lordship had ceased, an application was made by a . •gentleinattbehind the bar feri-a-ruotion to be put in the paper for Friday. " The LORD CHANCELLOR consented, provided the business would permit it to be heard. There was a great deal of busi ness fixed for that day. Mr. AGAR observed, that Friday was Seal-day„ and he had something to say respecting the expences .attending motions, in consequence of the practice Of fixing motions for particular days. -He referred to a case in which the eipence thus incurred amounted to 1001. .* The LORD CHAi;CELLOR—Gire me leave to say, that this arises, Mr:Agar, partly froM vour . own pl;m—your list of ma. tions. A:motion is put into the paper,and instead of the par ties attending, .a clerk, who knows no -more about it than my -shoe, peeps in at the door of the hall, and goes away to the :Master's office, and charges for attendance. -If the influx of business respecting rall-roads„ canals, habeas carpus writs, and - injunctions of endless length, continue,zhis inconvenience must continue likewise. What can - the Court do, supposing a nio_ eiPn stands for Monday, v:diea one of:Triese' . long motions for an - injunction, followed immediately by a motion for dissolti i.tion, intrudes, and swallows up the whole week ? It is very desirable to find a remedy, but I cannot discover one. I have 'spent more time upon injunctions in one month than my pre decessors have in 12, or three times that period. There is an other class of business—writs of habeas corpus. It may-he re quisite that this branch of the Court should be applied to; but 'how many days have been spent upon these subjects ! - a/though before I came here, I de not remember a single application being made to this Court for writs of habeas corpus. If such a matter comes before the Court, and last two or three days, can any person deny that it is a subject which presses upon its Consideration ? Yet bow can the Court hear the other matters ? Mr. Rtatei—Has your Lordship observed the state of the paper to-day ? The LORD CHANCELLOR—I have looked at it; and it is with reference to the state of it that 1 make these remarks. I have been considering, whether it would not - be expedient for me to direct the Registrar, when an application is made by a gentleman at the bar for a motion being put into the paper for a particular day, not to do so, if many motions stand for that day. I was thinking of this very plan yesterday. Mr. HEALD and Mr. HART approved of the plan here al ' laded td by his Lordship. The Loan CHANCELLOR—I have long thought that a man who tries to remedy an evil, should.take care that he does not 'create a worse. In consequence of these intervening matters, I have not heard a single appeal. Mr. Acax—Nor ever will, my Lord. The LORD CHANCELLOR proposed that Mr. Agar should endeavour to suggest a remedy. Mr. AGAR appeared to accept his Lordship's proposal, and began to suggest, first, that parties who prayed for precedence should pay all the expences of those who were delayed on that day. The Learned Gentleman was proceeding to develop the other features of his plan, when The Lo RD CHANCELLOR recommended that he shoidd put his ideas upon paper, in order that the scheme might be better understood. Mr. AGAR expressed his readiness to do his best. SHADWELL here suggested that the paper should now be called ; which was done by the Registrar, and oue - of the appeals was partly heard before the Court rose. !MULISH INSTITUTION, PAI,I,MALL.

The argument was this day resumed. Mr. KNIGHT was beerd for the defendants, and Mr. HEALD, for the plaintiff, in reply. The latter gentleman adverted, with considerable point, to the argument derived by the other side from the rcspectit. bility of the defendants, as if the plaintiff was thereby to be precluded from his remedy in this Court. The Loan CIIANCELLOIL—If the act complained of be done by individuals, then the complaint against them must not be tacked to a suit against the Company. It will therefore be necessary that 1 should examine the record to discover how far that is the fact. There is nothing so well settled here as this point—that where a person applies for an injunction, he must I apply speedily, and if possible prevent the injurious act being done. Flow tar this point has been attended to is also to be as certained. You must therefore hand me the original and sup.. plemental bills, the affidavits, and the minutes, and I will dis pose of this case on Friday. His Lordship then proceeded to remark, in allusion to the emphasis laid by Mr. H ea ld on the term " respectable," that in his Lordship's experience in re gard to companies, he had found that some persons would not hesitate to do as a company what they would not do as indi viduals. Looking a t the v ar i ou s schemes and projects . during the last 25 years ; and at the mass of acts passed in consequence of them, and comparing the number with that of the antece dent 25 years, it was evident that a degree of employment had been created for Courts of Justice which no person could for merly have anticipated. This business had obliged the Court of Chancery to be called fpen for injunctions and dissolutions, and had obliged his Lordship to lay down rules, and establish principles for injunctions, which had given satisfaction to some, ar dissatisfaction to others. A new source of equity had been, as it were, opened in this Court ; and it would he a matter of uo small curiosity, could it be computed how large a I portion of the time of this branch of the Court was from this cause wasted, whereby other matters were ousted from it. It had been throught that other branches of this Court might take cognizance of motions for injunctions; but if the present ss tem continued, an d t h e grounds for injunctions remained "as numerous as at present, an infinite portion of the time of this Court must necessarily be employed upon this business alone. His Lordship's principle had been this—that the Court must not suffer these companies to do more than the legislature per mitted them, or either of them, to do; and that if they exceeded that permission, this Court should interpose. The faith of parties must be understood to be pledged that they will not do more than the Act Which relates to them expressly allows. On the other- hand, the opposite parties should be obliged to look to the law for their ultimate redress, and to try their right as soon as they can. After entering a little into the details of the case, his Lordship remarked, that when the former injunction issued, it went forth against the Company, or individuals acting in the capacity of agents to the Company. But upon looking into the record of the present case, the indi v id ua l s aga i nst whom the injunction was sought (Messrs. Crawshay, Hill, and Quest) were not shown to be acting as agents to, or co-op era ti ng w i t h, the Company, but as doing, as individuals, what they alleged the Act allowed them to do. In point of form, t h erefore, the applica- Lion was incorrect. In respect to this objection as to form, his Lordship observed, that with every desire to protect Mr. Blake more, he could not adopt the doctrine of commitment, without a due consideration of forms, which preserve the es sence o f jus tice. He had, ht ides, seen so many instances whe re t h e con duct of companies was not regulated by the motives and prin ciples which governed individuals, that his Lordship felt it necessary to watch himself, lest he should suffer a prejudice against them to supervene. As to - the objection that the ap plication had been delayed too long, if this should appear, the injunction could not be granted. If otherwise, the meaning of one of the clauses of the act soukd be to be considered ; and I it might then happen that this Court would have no jurisdiction, COURT OF KING'S BENCH; Jun. 6, CONSPIRACY. THE KING v. GODFEEY AND OTHERS. This was an indictment against Sophia Saunders, otherwise Cooke, whose name has been frequently before the public, and three persons,named Godfrey, Parke, and Gravest, for conspir ing to defraud certain tradesmen named of goods, and also generally for conspiring to defraud the subjects of his Majesty. Mr. GURNEY, with whom were Mr. A sruiteews and . Mr. BRODRICK, stat e d t h e case for the prosecution. He charged all the defendants as engaged in one combination to obtain naoney by fraudulent representations, and as designing to shar e in the spoil. Th e sc h eme was to re p resent Mrs. Saunders, who had also passed by the name of Mrs. Stamp Sutton Cooke, as a lady of fortune, having large possessions in the West Indies, and well able to pay for all the goods which she pro posed to purchase. At the time when these representations were made, Mrs. Saunders was nominally a prisoner in the custody of the Marshal, but having obtained the liberty of the rules, she set all bounds at defiance, and commenced her career as if she had been entirely free from embarrassment or restraint. To further the scheme, a house was taken for h er at H amm _ stead, where she hired fi rs t a carriage, and afterwards a gig,. and was attended by a servant in livery. Here Godfrey ap peared as the master; and became the main instrument in ordering goods, which were largely procured from credulous tradesmen. Gravett, who sometimes went by the' name of Tur ner, acted as servant; and 'Mr. Thomas Josiah Parke, who lived in Westbourn-place, Chelsea, contributed his services as general referee, and vouched for the respectability and the for tune of Mrs - . Saunders: Orders were accordingly given ; Mr. Parke represented Mrs. Saunders as entitled to property which would enable her to pay ; the goods were supplied—harps, pianofortes, and other articles, which could never be intended for use ; and which found their way, in due course, to the pawnbroker's or the broker's. 'The same system was pursued at Bayswater, whither Mrs. Saunders removed, and was conti nued until she was discOvered, and safely lodged within the walls of the King's Bench Prison. This was the outline of the case, which it was wholly unnecessary to pursue into de. tail ; and if, on the whole evidence, the jury should be of opi nion that the defendants, taking the several parts allotted to them, had combined for one unlawful purpose, though pursu ing it by various means, they would discharge their duty by returning against all a verdict of guilty. Ambrose Parish, a clerk in the King's Bench prison, proved that William Godfrey was committed to the prison on the 22d of June, 1822, and continued till the 7th o f J anuary, 1823. Sophia ooke was committed on the 7th of July, 1822, and was discharged the 20th of March, 1823. She was again com mitted on the 13th of May, 1824, under ths name of Sophia Saunders, and remained in prison at present. Thomas Josiah Parke was committed 30th January, 1824, and remained till the 24th March, 1824. 11 Daniel Flight said, in December, 1823, he was hired by Mrs. Saunders, then living at Spring -cottage, Hampstead, as a foot boy. From Hampstead she removed, to Bayswater. He ap peared in a livery, a blue jacket and laced hat. At Hampstead, she went by the name of Saunders ; at Bayswater, by the name of Cooke. Mr. Godfrey and Mrs. Turner lived with her at Spring -cottage ; Mrs. Turner went by the name of Gravett ; and her brother, the defendant, c ame to see her under th a t name. Mr. Parke came, but not often, four or five times, an d once slept there. She kept a gig, and used to visit the Clare.. most Hotel. She also had a glass-coach when at Hampstead. Parke once lived in Pulteney-street, afterwards at Westbourn. place, and at both Mrs. Saunders went to see him. The wit ness used to be sent out of the way, and on his return found that goods had been left—once a piano, four harps, and a quan tity of wine; the harps were left three or four days or a week, one in the place of another. He left Mrs. Cooke at Cra'ven cottage, but did not get his wages, which amounted to 21. 4s. but he afterwards received them.. The AT TORNEY.GENERAL stated, that he appeared for Parke; that Mr. ADOLPHUS appeared for Mrs. Saunders; and Mr. UNIACKE for the other defendants. On cross-examination, the witness said, that Parke kept the Claremont Hotel, and that Mrs. Saunders bought wine there. Mrs. Saunders used to play on the musical instrument; Gra vett used to come to the house to visit his sister. Sophie Lewis proved that Mrs. Saunders, having lodged at her house in April 1823, left it without paying a small balance of rent, for which her boxes were detained. Mr. John Dance proved that in November 1823, Mrs. Saun ders hired a glass coach of him at Hampstead, which she kept till April, 1824, and that soon after a horse and gig came from London, of which Godfrey appeared to be the master. The whole of his bill amounted to 1301., 'but he obtained 401. on ac count at different times. Mr. Godfrey, when the witness pres sed for money, said that Mrs. Saunders, to whose account every thing was to be placed, had large property in the West Indies. John Slack, the coachman who drove Mrs. Saunders, proved occaasenal visits to Mr. Parke in Viresth ou r n -place, and that she was sometimes accompanied by Godfrey. Jane Brown, who lived servant with Mr. Parke in Clarges street till January 1824, said that Alr , . Saunders took a first floor in the same house, but did not sleep there. Captain Sweetman, the proprietor of Spring -cottage, p r o ve d that he let it furnished to Mrs. Saunders at 1201. a-year. She gave a reference to Mr. Clarke, No. 4, Bengal-place. She af terwards gave a reference Mr. Mather, whom she represented as her agent, at the East India Chambers : he went. and found a nian who answered to the name ; but .afterwards that man could not he found. Mr. Godfrey Used to come arid make eaKuserefor the non-payment of the rent, hut declined to make himielf personally liable. Mr. Labee, ;In auctioneer, proved that in. July, 1823, Mrs. Saunders took a house of itt Beatinont-street, and re ferred to Mr. Parke.

Saunders, who went by ate name , ..of Cooke, with meat s 'and not obtaining his money, threatened to arrest (1,,,i -frcy came about the money, and said he wis veer trouble some; The two next witnesses proved nothing. Mr. Erat, a harp manufacturer, proveit that he sold a harpto Mrs. Saunders, for which he had never be e n p a id ; an d M r. Smith. a pawnbroker,• proved that the same harp had been first pledged, and then sold to hint by Godfrey. A person in the Employ of Messrs. Erat proved, that be called on Mr. Parke, to inquire art to the circumstances-of Mrs. Saunders, and that Mr. Parke said she had West. India ..pro. perry, consisting.of cottons and plantations,' and was a lady of great respectability. Thomas Butcher stated, that in March, 10'.2.1. Mrs. Saunders .hired a piano -forte of his employers, and afterwards proposed to buy it for a niece, who had taken a fancy to the instrument ; Godfrey and Mrs. Saunders afterwards came, and she pressed*. for it; proposing to pay 101., and give a bill for the remainder of the price, which was about 46/., payable when the dividends should become due. To this he assented, and she drew a bill, becoming due the 24th of July: The bill was never paid, nor the instrument returned. The day before the hill bec ame d ue, Godfrey called an d said Mrs. Saunders was in some diffi culties, bitt had house's in Kingston, Jainaiea, and if the hill was not paid when it became due, it would be shortly. He stated that Mrs. Saunders was in prison. The witness closed the door on him, and asked who he,was. After some time lie said his name was Godfrey, and named some street in Parton. ville, where he lived. James Finn, a clerk from the Bank of England, proved-that Illrs.'Saunders had no dividends payable in July, 1824, nor any, stock whatever. Mr. W. Bevan, of 130, Piccadilly, a paper-hanger and house decorator, said, in February, 1824, Mrs. Saunders called at his house in a carriage, with Mr. 'Parke, Godfrey, and another !person whom' he had not seen since; He went out and saw Mrs. Saunders, who said she was a stranger and a West-Indian - -she was about taking a house in Weatbourn-place, and be. fore she did so, wanted the opinion of a respectable tradesman. She asked him to go in the carriage, and he accompanied them to No. 2, Westbourn-place.. Parke, Godfrey, Mrs. Smolders, and the witness went over the house, which Mrs. Saund ers pro posed to paint and d ecora t e , which he engaged to do. He pro. .ceeded .to the extent of 1281. or 1301.; but never -was paid.— While the work was goin g on , h e saw P ar k e an d Godfrey in the house. - - Charles Bevan proved, that while the work was going or) in Westbourn-place, he frequently saw Mr. Parke there, who did not direct any thing. Some-paper yeas brought in,and not put up, and Dlr. Parke interfered to prevent it from being taken awa►. • John Carpenter, partner of Mr. Leak, of Oxford -street, said that in June Godfrey came to him, and applied for a horse and cabriolet, for a lady who was a lady of property, residing at Bayswater ; and he agreed to let her have. them for a month.--. Turner used to come for them as groom, and they were used five weeks. He could not obtain his money. In answer to a remark of the witness, Turner said he was very lately come into Mrs. Cooke's service, and did not know much of her. The whole hire of the gig was 151. Thomas Ruckerings proved that he arrested Turner, who said his name was Gravett, and Wished he had never known the party. Mr. Nutting, a pianoforte-maker, in Oxford-street, said; in August last Godfrey called and said a lady had taken a fancy to one of his pianos, and wished to buy it at six months' credit. He represented her as a lady of considerable Vest I ndia pro. perty ; her remittances would come over in six months, and then she would positively pay for it. He -gave her address—. " Mrs. Saunders, No. 9, Beaumont -street, Devonshire-place," on an engraved car d. H e gave ' a ref e renCe, " Mr. Parke, builder, No. 2, Westbourn-place, Chelsea." Godfrey called again, and asked if 'he had been ; he replied in the negative, on which Godfrey offered to give him a lift in his gig. This offer was accepted, and the witness went to Westbourn-place. There he saw Mr. Parke, who expressed his surprise at being called " builder," as he was only building a new wing to his house. He stated that Mrs. Saunders was a very respectable lady ; that she had rented a house of him in Clarges-street, Piccadilly; that he had taken her bills for wine to the amount of 1661., which were always paid. The Witness expressed his' satisfaction. The next day Mrs. Saunders and Godfrey. came and selected a piano for 601., and Mrs. Saunders gave a bill. He afterwards saw his piano at-Mr. Reeves's, a pawnbroker, on Snow-hill. - It was proved that the piano was bought by Mr. Reeves of Godfrey, on the 20th October, f0r . 361., and that he had before pledged articles at the shop. James Walsall, a piano -forte maker, in Howland-street, proved that in September Godfrey called and proposed to buy a harp for 40 guineas for Mrs. Saunders, who wanted about four months' credit, as her dividends would not become due till January. A bill was accordingly drawn for its price. Mrs. Saunders called to look at the harp, but she obviously could not play a note; she desired it to be sent home, and accepted the bill. The harp was sent, but the bill was never paid. God frey,was to have two guineas for commission. On the witness calling for his money, Gravett said Mrs. Saunders was out of ; town. He afterwards saw his harp in the possession of Miss Rachel Nathan, in Blackfriars road. John Flower,' in the service of Mr. Cotterell, a pawnbroker, of 99, Shoe-lane, proved that on the 13th of September God frey pledged the harp with his master for IN. in the name of John Thomas, and that it was redeem e d a f terwar d s . It was proved that Miss Nathan purchased the duplicate of Godfrey, and obtained the harp. John Smith, who was in the employ of Messrs. Kelley, i n Oxford-street, in December, 1823, and Mrs. Saunders came to purchase goods,. and gave a reference to Mr. Parke, who said she was a very resp e ct a bl e l a d y , possesse d o f Westlndia pro perty to the amount of 500/. a-year ; that he might safely give her credit, as her property was in houses. Mr. Dodd, of Oxford-street, proved that a piano was hired of him for Mrs. Saunders, which was delivered - on representa tions that she was a lady of fortune ; but the piano never was returned, nor had he received its value. - Alr.Jaines Delbw, a musical instrument rn;ker in Conduit_ street, proved that he sent a harp to Mrs. Sanders, at [lamp. stead, on hire, and that Godfrey a f terwar d s app li e d to him to sell it, but that he refused. He never received the harp nor its value. This was the case for the prosecution. Mr. Citt - rry, in the absence of the Attorney-General, ad. dressed the Jury for Mr. Parke. He contended that there was not the slightest evidence tending to impute any corrupt motive to this defendant, or the least desire to participate in what had been called "the spoils" of the enterprize. Air. Parke was a man engaged in extensive concerns—a builder of capital and credit ; to whom it was absurd to impute a desire to share in. the miserable gains which might be derived from the hire of -a carriage and the sale of a few musical instruments, out of which, according to the case for the prosecution, Mrs. Saun ders's expences must be paid. The truth was, that if Mrs. Saunders was not possessed of the property which she claimed, Mr. Parke was deceived, for he would prove that, on her application to rent apartments of him, he made in quiries, and that on these inquiries he let the rooms, and supplied her with wine. Even during her transactions he allowed her to increase her debt to him ; and could it be believed that he would have done this had he known • her to be insolvent ? She was a lady of fascinating manners and accomplishments ; appearances were entirely in her favour ; and it was obvious that if she had deceived others, which was not prOved, she had also deceived Mr. Parke, and that he was wholly innocent of any, fraudulent purp<:aie or interested object in the answers which he had given to the inquiries of tradesmen. It could not be forgotten that, in the case of " Ilayc ra f t v. Creasey," where a young lady named Robertson practised an ex- • tensive fraud, the defendant was holden not even liable to a civil action, though he had untruly asserted that he knew her to be cr.- PRICE SI3VENPENCE.

CruACRE, on the part of Gtavett, submitted that there eras no case to go to the jury. The LoRD Crimp JUSTICE said, that the ease against this defendant would probably appear.asvery slight one, but that he could not wirthdraw it from the cousideration of the jury. .Mr. UNIACKE then addressed the jury for Gravettand fied frey.. As to the first, he merely came te visit his sister, and at most was a servant to Mrs. Saunders, and could not be irnoh cated in her designs. The Learned Course' - then took a review of the' evidence as affectiizg Gedfrey, and contended that 'had never represented Mrs. Sanders :is solvent--as he had never become responsible for her-- it was clear that he &el eel become a partaker alio design which such conduct mieLi have promoted. He argued that the conduct of ' the perfiss could not. be distinguithed' from that of any ptreors who cor tracted debts without the means of paving them, and which: though immoral, was never yet regarded as the Subject of penal visitation. Mr. CHITTY, .then, for Parke, called the. following vita • neases : • ' George Kenning, a builder, at Horton. 'had 'clown M. Parke about 18 years. Went with him ih September, 182';5% to inquire at Mr. Parkinson's Greek-street, Soho, respecting the character of Mrs. Saunders.

Witness had lived in Mr. Parke's family three yeilrts' before Mrs. Saunders came, buthad never, durnig that peritel, heard or seen any thing of her. She understood Mrs. tiaehde:a intended to keep a•school. Cross-exarnined.—Alrs. Saunders was a lodger of Mr. Perke's two months, during which time she never slept in the house; she had hollowed money of the witness; Witucte'dirl' not kuo t . by whom Mrs. Saunders WAS introduced to lir. Parke. mi.. Parke was in confinement four months in the'. year 1823 wit- mess did not know that Mrs. Saunders vies introdlice:ei to• Parke, in order to purchase goods which she and Perke-and Godfrey were to share; she might have said so ; witnesaslever said that - it was arranged Parke should have a.share in the produce of • the fraudulent purchaser, to be made by means of hi r.oa-iii tnendation, but that he was to appear as little as pooahlte the affair; she might have said. that Go thy bed told hee. ae. Godfrey and Mrs. Saunders used to go out in the rayriak: and in the gig. Parke was sometimes with them. Diti.aot say that upon those occasions Parke used to get out of the ea...t riage, and walk to the place where it was intended to obtainthe goods, as if to. meet M rs .

Parke wished witness to say that s.l7e knew Mrs. Saunder s , an d t h at ' s h e h a d li ve d at the Clare mont Hotel when witness Was there. Witness went to a mas querade with Mr. P. and Mrs. Saunders ; they dressed at the Covent-garden Chambers. where witness lived, and went thence to the masquerade. At this time Mrs. Saunders lived at Down shire-hill, and Mr. Godfrey was living there also. None .of the goods bought by Mrs. Saunders came to the 'Chambers. where witness lived. She had seen goods brought to the cot tage. Mr. Smallwood, in whose service she lived, did not turn her away bemuse the neighbours had remarked upon the quail- Cities of goods brought into his Chambers. Re-examined.—lt was in 1822, not in 1823, that Mr. Parke was in Coldbath-fields prison. Witness was at variance with Mr. Parke, and had appliedao him for payment of - thernoney she had lent to Mrs. Saunders. W. a'Beckett had been attorney for Mr. Petite; was so it: 1823. Knew that Parke purchased some property in West bourn-place for 2,2801., of which 800/. was left on mortgag, and the rest was settled by means of an exchange of other pr perty. . _ _ Cross-examined.—These transactions took place about tll.- end of 1823. Parke had made a composition with hit creditors; witness thought, a year before the exchange alluded to. By the COURT—Parke was confined in the House of Coo rection at Coldbatit-fields, from Trinity TerM, 18 ( 22, for four months. Jarnes.Bayley, clerk to Phipps, an attorney, believed that Mrs. Saunders was possessed of property in the Vest In dies, under the will of her husband. He did not know that ft produced any thing. ' Rir. Farren, a Qnaker, one of the trustees under the will, was called, but refused to take the oath. He ...id he had a cf. , - trustee, who had been subpcenaed, and who was not a Qualtcr. 4 builder was called, and Mr. CHITTY was about to exa mine hirn respecting Parke's prope , t7, but, upon the suggc, - tion of the Lord ChitlJustice, lie declined to do so, and stated •~ that his case was closed. I Mr. °HANEY then called Wethrell, clerk to 14. ko. gers, attorney for the prosecution, who was asked if 'he had taken down from the lips of Mrs. Baker, the contents of .4 paper now produced, and from which Mr. Gurney had pre iously ex.. atnined her. The witness said he had written it Or the inornine, following a conversation with Mrs. Baker. He then stated (refreshing his memory by reference to this paper), the sub. stance of that conversation, which was to the elect directly ne gatived, by Mrs. Baker in her examination. Cross.examined.—This conversation took place in the even.. ing, and the writing was made in the morning. Mr. Smallwood, in whose service Mrs. Baker lived at en. vent-garden Chambers, dismissed her in consequence of her connexion with Parke and Mrs. Saunders, and b:ea'ise goods were brought into his chambers of which the neighbours com plained.
