PZ bt/' ll ' . * lt ** 0-4 LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 28, 1833. The French Papers of Tuesday, which arrived this morning, contain further news from Spain favourable to the Spanish Government. The rebels are stated, in a telegraphic despatch from Bayonne, to have evacuated Tolosa, and it was reported at Bayonne, on the 21st inst., by the master of a chasse maree which had just ar rived from Bilboa, that on the preceding day, whilst off the latter place, he heard a heavy firing, which ceased towards the evening, in consequence, as he supposed, of the submission of the rebels. A telegraphic despatch was re ceived in Paris on Tuesday morning, but the contents, although said to be very favour able, had not transpired. It was reported that the despatch announced the taking of Bilboa from the rebels; but if this had been the case, we think the French Government would have published it, at least after a certain personage had made his stock-jobbin g operations. It appears that several Carlist chiefs have taken refuge, since their defeat by EL PASTOR, is the French territory. There are no very recent accounts from Madrid, but a Paris paper, L e Temps, which is usually well informed, states that at the date of the last accounts the unpopularity o f M. ZEA and M. CRUZ had increased daily in the Spanish provinces, and that, at Madrid, when the troops were reviewed by the QUEEN RE GENT, cries of " Down with ZEA, and CRUZ," were frequently tepeated.

There is one thing in the pre sent situation of Spain which is very remarkable. The country is really governed by the Captains- General, each of whom takes his measures and gives his orders, without waiting for instructions from the.Ministrv. These persons are, forthe most part, men of talent and energy, and of liberal principles, which will explain the ill success of Don CARLOS even in a country where the elements of disorder are so numerous ; but it must not be overlooked that in proportion to the means possessed by the Captains-General of putting down the Carlist insurrection will be their power of dictating a Constitution to the QUEEN REGENT, if they can once agree among themselves as to the extent to which free institutions shall be carried. The secret of ZEA BERMUDEZ'S political existence is the want of harmony among the Constitutionalists, but as the latter become convinced of the necessity of mutual concessions for the public good, the influence of the miscalled juste milieu Ministry will diminish, and wiser and better men will be found to take the direction of affairs into their hands, and enable the Spaniards to enjoy those benefits which they derive from a beautiful cli mate, and a productive soil ; but which are now rendered unavailable by misgovernment.

The Spanish Ambassador, M. de VIAL, has recently visited several of the Spanish Refugees who are included in the last amnesty, for the purpose, as it is supposed, of inducing them to avail themselves of that act; but it does not appear that he met with much success. General MINA was present at one of those visits, but he was not personally known to the Ambassador, and was not introduced to him. We are glad to learn that Mr. EDWARD ELLICE, the Secretary at War, who has been for several days confined to his room by indis position, has recovered sufficiently to be enabled to avail himself of the invitation which he has received from the Duke of BEDFORD, to form one of the shooting party at Woburn Abbey. On the return of the Cabinet Ministers who are at Woburn, there will be a succession of Cabinet Councils, at which several important questions will be discussed. It is understood that among them will be the English Church cations, and the proposed reductions in the army. The friends of Earl GREY assert, and we hope correctly, that the session will com• mence with several liberal measures on the part of the Ministry. It is believed that the SOLI CITOR-GENERAL, who has availed himself of the recess to receive suggestions respecting his Bill for the Abolition of Imprisonment for Debt, not only from his own legal friends, but also from distinguished lawyers of different political principles, will bring forward that important measure very early in the session. An amend ment of the present anomalous and iniquitous law of libel will also, we trust, be among the first acts of a liberal Ministry. Accounts have been received by the Plover packet, which has arrived at Falmouth from Vera Cruz, which she left on the 12th of October, stating that a battle has been fought between the Government forces and the in surgents under Generals ARISTA and Du- RAN, in which the latter sustained a complete defeat. General SANTA ANNA left the city of Mexico with 10,000 men, and achieved this triumph on the 6th ult. He had quite re covered from the cholera, which had abated throughout the republic. The Plover has brought home 140,000 dollars on freight ; and the Sheldrake, which was to follow her, was expected to have a full freight, as a million of dollars was expected at Tampico from the in terior, and a large amount at Vera Cruz. Gen. BASADRE, the Minister Plenipotentiary from Mexico to Russia, has arrived by this packet. Some sensation has been excited among the merchants connected with the Newfoundland and Portuguese trade, by the following an nouncement at LLOYD'S of the capture of the Caroline, Captain HELLYER :—" The Caro- line, HELLYER, from Newfoundland, has been taken by one of Don PEDRO'S squadron, and sent into Oporto." The facts of this case are, that the vessel was proceeding quietly up the Douro, when the Captain was informed she was seized. On expostulating with the officers, it was explained to the Captain that the vessel had been cleared out for Gibraltar, and could not legally enter the Douro, and that she would be sent off to the Tagus for condemnation. All the ships in this trade from Newfoundland are this season placed in the same situation, having cleared out for Gibraltar on account of the unsettled state of affairs at Oporto. Immediate application will be made to Government on this subject. The Merchant Tailors' Company, and the Cor poration of Leicester promised, till within this day or two, to stand alone in their resistance to the au thority of the Corporation Commissioners, but a third party has been found willing to set public opinion at defiance in the same manner. The Sheriffs of the city of Norwich it is who have thought fit to complete the trio of recusants. Some two or three weeks back, the Corporation of that city protested against the inquiry of the Commissioners, but submitted to it. Whether the Sheriffs have more to conceal than the Corporation, or whether they resist the inquiry into the nature of their fees, &c., purely for the pleasure of barking, as they cannot bite, is hardly worth investig a tion. Th e y an d their fellows may snap and snarl as mu c h as they please ; their days are numbered; they can no more save their beloved abuses than they can again restore to life the rotten boroughs of Schedule A. Their eccentricity, however, has given occasion to the publication of some amusing nonsense in the columns of our ancient Contemporary, the Morning Post. Speaking of the conduct of the Sheriffs, he says— " It presents a noble example of that exalted regard for the laws and constitution of the country, and of that ge nuine species of public spirit, which are independent oc popular applause, and superior to the influence of popular infatuation." The poor old Post puts us in mind of the hen with one chick. It no sooner finds a stray Tory of the old school, a man so loyal as to be willing even to affront the KING, if he be anything but a Tory, than it makes a cackling and clattering greater even than did all the libe ral press put together, when it was raising the whole country to make the effort which has an nihilated Toryism for ever. Those who recol lect the language of the Post a few years ago, will be amused at the following tirade:— " Can a stronger instance of delinquency on the part of any Government be alleged than that it has arrogated to itself, and attempted to delegate to others, powers which the law bas not intrusted to its hands—powers which in the eye of the law are dangerous and odious—powers which the best and wisest citizens feel bound in honour and con science to resin' ? Or is it possible that servility can be exhibited in any posture more abject, than we behold men not only crouching before such illegal and iniquitous authority, but calumniating such of their fellow-country men as dare to stand before it, in the erect attitude of freemen ?" The words, honour, conscience, iniquitous authority, freedom, &c., are used as glibly, and with about the same consistency as Mother Ccle talks of grace and Heaven. We do not forget, although the Post may, that it is not so long back when in any way to resist the powers that be, to " stand in the erect attitude of free men" drew from him recommendations of the whip, the pillory, the gaol, and the bayonet. Was any undue stretch of power by the ser vants of the Crown complained of, the most gentle insult the Post condescended to give the injured party was to appeal to a Coln of Law, —to bring an action of trespass or assault ; but what are its recommendations new ? Sup posing the Commissioners to exceed their legal authority, one unacquainted with the vagaries of "Tory selfishness would certainly not expect the following belligerent recommendations from an ostentatious advocate for law and order : " The Sheriffs are courageous and consistent men. The Corporation to which they belong is a timid and incon sistent Corporation. It is their duty, within thu it several jurisdictions, not mer e ly to r e f ra i n f rom insisting, but positively to prohibit, and, if necessary, to resist with all the force at their commend, arty attempt to open an illegal Commission, or to carry on proceedings of any kind under pretence of its authority." Resistance by force of arms to a Royal Commission—a Commission carrying all the weight of the__KlNG's authority —a Commission: malities of which, if any, Ministers are re: sponsible, is certainly what we hardly expected even from the inconsistency of the Post. Its rabid symptoms appear to be fast increaing indeed so fast, as almost to induc' THE FUNDS.-(TIIES DAY.) CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. We have no arrivals as yet of any consequence, with the exception of the express from Paris, which states that Merino and the other chiefs of the Carlists were retreating on Miranda, pur-ued by the troops of General Saarsfiell, who were marching on Biscay and Alava. Arragon, Catalonia, Andalusia, Mancha, and Extremadura, were tranquil. General Rosuet has been appointed to the command of the third division of the army of the Pyrenees, which consists of between 7,000 and 8,000 men, and to which is attached a brigade of cavalry. 11C1011 of there being more authority for . ~our o an infusion of decided liberalism into the Cabi• net, than we at first imagined there was. By a merchant vessel arrived this morning, we have accounts from Oporto to the 20th inst. They are unsatisfactory. There had been no military affair since the sth, in which only a few lives were lost on the northern line, but the troops of MIGUEL have closed round Oporto, and entirely cut off the communication with the interior. They are stated to be about 7,000 men, but without heavy artillery or battering train. General STUBBS has in Oporto two regiments of the line, and a great number of militia, and expresses himself confident as to the defence of the place on account of the strength of the fortifications, and the want on the part of the Miguelites of heavy artillery. He also states that the attempt on the city is not in earnest, but only intended as a diversion in favour of the army in the south. SINGULAR OCCURRENCE.—On Thursday week, as the crew of a vessel, lying off the wharf, in Skeldergate, were on deck, getting their dinners, a hawk, in the pursuit of a small bird, pounced upon the arm of one of the men, and bit him so severely as to draw blood. By this means its prey escaped, and the hawk itself also made good its retreat.-- York Courant. THE SUBLIME AND BEAUTIFUL.—Every one is familiar with the peruke of Sterne's barber— " You may immerse it in the ocean, and it will stand." No had pendant to this anecdot- may he found in a sign hung over a shoetnak-r's shop in Montpelier. A lion is represented tearing a hoot, with the inscription-- Tu peux me dechirer, male jamas me decoudre. During the sojourn of Pope Pius the 7th in Paris, previous to the coronation of Bonaparte, the Pontiff paid a visit to the Imperial printing office; a low bred young limn persisted in keeping on his hat ; several persons, indig nant at the indecorum, advanced to t ke it off. -A littlelcon• fusion arose, and the Pope, observing the cause, stepped up and sail, in a tone of kindness truly patriarchal, " Young man, uncover, that I may give thee my blessing. An old man's blessing never yet harmed any one." This little incident deeply affected all who witnessed it. Some light has been thrown upon the horrid circumstance of the murder of Mrs. Jeffs, in Montagu• place, some years since. It will be recollected that this horrid deed was attributed to some relation of the mur dered lady, and fur which a man, named Jones, was tried at the Old Bailey, and acquitted ; hut, for another offence, he was transported, and some mouths back was h ang ed for some cum! in Van Diemen's Land. Toe night before his execution, he sent for the Sheriff of the colony, now in England, and confessed himself guilty of many crimes, and several murders ; amongst others, that of the unfortunate Mrs. Jeffs.

As yet we have not heard of a single de ftulrer, and we have no doubt that the payments this day will en off well. Consols have reached this morning 89 for the January Account, and for money ss a , since which they have been done at 88N-, but the chief business doing is in paying and receiving the differences. The only news we have is from Spain and Mexico.

The LORD CHANCELLOR sat to-day for the special purpose of hearinv, this case, and in which common law counsel were in attendance. Sir E. SUGDEN stated that the original question was whether the plaintiff was entitled to a share of a partner ship ; that the Vice. Chancellor was of opinion he was, and directed a reference to the Master ; that the Master found the plaintiff was entitled to a half share ; that upon its coming before the Court again, his Honour directed an issue; that the plaintiff appealed against that direction, and applied to his Honour to stay the proceedings until the appeal could he heard, which application was diszni,sed with. costs ; that upon the trial of the issue the Jury found the plaintiff was entitled not to a half but to a third share; that an application was next made to the Vice-Chancellor for a new trial, and which his Honour directed ; that the defendants now appealed against the order directing the new trial, and he had to submit to the Court that it ought to bear both the original appeal against the issue having been directed at all, and the appeal against the motion for a new trial at one and the same time. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL and Mr. KNIGHT opposed this amalgamation of the appeals as being extremely inconvenient, and against the practice of the Court. If his Lordship should be of opinion, with the original ap pellant, that no tri,tl ought to have been directed at all, then there would be a❑ end of the case ; but independently of that, the question whether there should now be a new trial or not, would turn entirely upon what had taken place at law. Upon the one application, counsel on one side would have the reply, and upon the other, counsel on the other site would have the advantage of the reply. Sir E. SUGDEN said that he would give his learned opponents the general reply upon the whole. The LORD CHANCELLOR was clearly of opinion that this would be the most convenient course, and ordered the arguments to be shaped accordingly, upon which the Attorney-General proceeded to open his case.

One elector, more ec clesiastical in his look-out than others, refused his suffrages to a candidate of the fourth ward, on the weighty ground that he was going to " overthrow the Protestant religion." —Scotsman. - ry iI'E — WWI away, by the flood on Thursday we-k.

CUTLAR FgacussoN.—Th e Polish exiles, resident in Paris, hare expressed in a pleasing and most appropriate manner the grateful feelings they so ardently cherish towards the member for Kirkcudbrightshire —the great champion of their cause in Parliament. By the kindness of a country gentleman we have had an opportunity of inspecting a medal recently struck in Paris to commemorate our member's services in the cause of humanity, and we agree with an intelligent correspondent in thinking that th e country of Wallace and Bruce has good cause to feel proud of the compliment. The likeness, so far as we can judge, is good, and the mad il altogether is executed in the highest style of art. The framing is the inscription on the side presenting the head :—" Nee Dee:unt qui Slerninerint mei.' On the reverse, encircled with a laurel wreath,--" Roberto Cutlar Feremsson candido ac tenaci Juris Gentium proptignatori vi oapressa genio stiperstes Polonia D:cavit mDCCCXXXII."—Dumfries Courier. ROAD MONEY.—A tax of about fourpence per pound is now collecting under the name of Road Money. I wish to be informed whether the assessment is levied for the city or the county; how much it yields ; and how it is app ied. Is it -barged on every tenement in the city ? In this ca'e it should produce 6.000/. If only on tenements within the Royalty, it should produce 4,0001. I see no such item in the Report just published of the Town's Revenues.--Scotsman. SHOCKING EFFECTS OF INFORMERS.— Last week Mr. S eigh, of the Old Lion, St. John str. et-road, was fined for serving after hours," not- Withstanding his respectable witnesses averred that a more strict man did not exist; as a proof, one of the witnesses deposed, before the magistrates, that one night last week, his wife having been taken suddenly ill, be went to the Red Lion at a quarter past eleven o'clock, to fetch some brandy, and although he told Mr. Sleigh the cause of his application, he refused to open the door to serve him. This person told the magistrate he saw the informer knocking at Mr. Sleigh's door for admittance, when lie observed to him it was of no use, he was sure he would not he served; yet, in the face of this evidence, Mr. Sleigh was fined. The awful result has been that Me. Sleigh, conscious of his innocence, was so irritated at this vie persecution that his mind became affected and de ranged, and he died last Saturday afternoon raving mad. AFFECTING CIRCUMSTANCE.--011 Tues day last a respectable woman in Alain street, named Janet Steel, wife of Mr. John Stevenson, late baker in Airdrie, and now in New York, was labouring under a severe attack of cholera, of which she died that afternoon, at five o'clock, in presence of her bereaved and afflicted children. On the same evening, about eight o'clock, Helen Stevenson, a daughter of the deceased, went out to make some arrangements for her mother's funeral, but had only reached her grandmother's house, a few yards distant, when she was seized with cholera also, and remained there till she expired on the following morning. The fate of this amiable young woman is singu'arly affecting, and awfully il lustrative of the uncertainty of time, and its promising en joyments. She had long been courted by a deserving young man in the place, and, in contemplation of a happy sitor!, the pates had been pro c l a i me d, f or th e second time, in the parish church l as t L or d' s D a y. The wedding gar. ments—the furnishings far the house—in short, all was prepared that was thought necessary for the occasion. Next week was to have witnessed the celebration of their nuptials, and with it the commencement of all those hal cyon allusions which young and fond hearts so rea di ly and so rapturously portray in . imagination t o th emse l ves; but alas, the joyous anticipations of this devoted couple were never to be realized. From the hour that Helen was se:aed with the contagion, the stamp of death was on her fea tures, and from that hour her lover attended to render what assistance he could in such trying and perilous cir curnstances ; nor did he quit the bed -side of his faithful Helen, until " the silver cord was loosed, and the golden howl was broken." Even th en , b y the injunctions of his dying bride, he laid out a portion of her wedding dress with which to deck her corpse; by a like solemn charge he appeared at the fun e ral, in a shirt prepared by her own hands for the bridal night, and attended as chief mourner behind the hearse or pall which carried the remains of both mother and daughter to " the house appointed for all living.--Scots Times." IN RE LORD WARD. The ATTORNEY GENERAL wished, before the proceed ings of the day were entered upon, to recall to his Lord ship's attention the case of Lord Ward. It was hoped, he said, that an arrangement would have been made, which would have prevented the Court from having heard any more of this marter, but that arrange ment had not been effewed. Neither upon the proceedings which had taken place in this Court, nor upon the proceedings before the Mister of the Rolls, had any order been drawn up. There was a dispute about the guardian. ship and the maintenance, and it was proposed that an early day sthoild be fixed for bringing the whole subject under his Lordship's notice, and having the direction of the Court thereon. The LORD CHANCELLOR said be would let the parties know on what day he could take it. He was sorry to hear that it was found necessary to bring it before the Court again. Mr. KNIGHT hoped that the matter might be discussed in private. LORD CHANCELLOR bad no objection to that; be thought it a fit case for it. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL observed that at present he did not offer any opposition to that, but he was not autho rized to consent to it. VICE-CHANCERY CO ITR•r.-(THIS DAY.) TOUCIIET V. UTON. This was the petition of a lady named Frances Mary Touchet, playing for the transfer to her of two sues of money, 13,0001. and 4951., in the bands of the Ac countant-General. The bill was filed for the administra tion of the testator's estates, who, by his will, after giving an annuity to his widow, left the residue of his property to his two children, of whom the petitioner was the youngest. Mr. Touchet, the elder child, having attained his age, had received his part of the residue out of Court. The petitioner had also attained her majority, and the ob ject of the present petition was the payment to her of her share of the residue. I❑ cons( quence of the absence of the clergyman from home a certificate could not he ob tained of the young lady's age. That, however, could be procured on Monday, if the Court wou:d mike the order, subject to its not being drawn up till the production of the certificate. HIS HONOUR made the order. EX PAItTE THE RECTOR OF ST. PAUL, SIIADWELL. This was the petition of the Rector of St. Paul, Shad well, for a reference to the Master to inquire whether a for arts certain purchase was a fit and proper investment of crr tain surplus motleys.

The parsonage-house had been completed, and ali the provisions of the Act complied with, and there now remained a surplus in the hands of the Accountant. General of upwards of 1,5001. A treaty bad been entered into for the purchase of a freehold estate, and tie object of the present petition was to ascertain whether that would be a tit and proper investment. SPECIAL INJUNCTION.•—JOLLY V. WILLEY. Mr. GELDAKT applied exparte on behalf of the plaintiff for a special injunction, restraining the defendant from accepting, drawing, or negotiating any bills in the name of the partnership, or doing any a. -t fur which it would become liable. From the statements of the "Aimed Counsel, the bill, and the affidavit•, it appeared that in the month of January, 1832, the defendant, who then carried on the business of a chyrnist, druggist, oilman, and dealer in Mediterranean produce, represented to the plain tiff that his business might be considerably increased with more capit 11, and proposed to take him into partnership if he would advance 1,000/. From the representations of the delendant the plaintiff got his friends to advance the money, and they entered into partnership under the firm of Jolly and Co. One of the stipulations of the articles of pirtnersbip was that neither party should draw any note or security for the payment of money for which the partnership was not to receive valuable consideration. Shortly after the commencement of the partnership tie plaintiff discovered that the defendant's representations as to his credit and circumstances were altogether erroneous, that lie had considerable difficulty in meeting the demands of his creditors, and, on the plaintiff remonstrating with him, lie assured him that his difficulties were only of a temporary nature, and induced him to advance large sums out of the partnership fund to reliev e him from those difficulties. Those sums were to be paid by bills drawn by the defendant, payable to the partnership. Differences arose between the plaintiff and defendant ; Jolly, it was agreed, should manage the money transactions of the partnership. Various hills were accepted by the defendant which were paid away by the plaintiff. The difficulties of the defendant, instead of decreasing, increased upon him ; he became totally unable to meet the demands of his creditors, and, as stated by the affidavit of the plaintiff, was in a most desperate state of insolvency. On the plaintiff refusing to make further advances, the defen dant threatened, if he did not return, all the bills lie hid accepted payable to the partnership, to ruin him by accepting bills in the name of Jolly and Company. Under these circumstances, the bill was filed for the dissolution of the partnership, and the present motion made for the injunction. His HONOUR thought that sufficient bad been stated to justify the interference of the Court, and ordered the in junction to issue. KING'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) Sittings at Westminster after Michaelmas Term before the Lord Chief Justice and Common Juries. DOE, ON THE DEMISE OF SIRES, V. BROWN. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL appeared for the plaintiff in t hi s case , which WiS an action of ejectment brought by the lessee for the purpose of recovering possession of certain premises situate in Drury.lane. The case, which presented nothing of public interest, occupied the Court during the entire morning, and was not concluded when our reporter left. COURT OF EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.) :Nisi Prius Sittings at Weittninster before Mr. Baron GURNEY.) NOGUESS V. WROTTON. _ _ Mr. liurcuzsoN stated this — action was brought by the petitioner, a foreigner, to recover 231. Si., for work done by him on the defendant's account. It appeared that the defend int had a cause in Chancery respecting a will. He was told that the wife of the plaintiff, who was a Spanish Refugee, could give him some important information, and was introduced for tha. purpoie. The petition then represented that the person from whom she could get the information resided at Lynn, and a string of questions to be answered was drawn up by the defendant. On the evidence it appeared that Mrs. Sergeant, from whom the information was to be got, lived only next door to the plaintiff; neither could the plaintiff make out that any thing hail been done, except an admission by the defendant, which was proved by' Mr. Wallis, the clerk of the plaintiff's attorney. Mr. PLATT addressed the jury for the defendant, but had not got far when he was interrupted by the jury, who said they had made up their minds. Counsel for the plaintiff preferred to be called, and las was nonsuited. OLD BAILEY SESSIONS.-(THIS DAY.)

Many gentlemen urged their advanced years, and others bodily infirmities, and for these reasons were excused. The attendance of jurors was numerous, and consequently but few person. were fined for non-attendance. THE LATE " MISTAKE." Afr. BODKIN applied to the Court in the case of Joseph Bowman, who had been tried at what were called the " Mistake" Sessions, to postpone the trial until the nest Sessions. The Judges who had presided at the subsequent Sessions had, from time to time, respited the trial of this prisoner, in order that an application might be made to the Court of King's Bench for a mandamus to the JO' tices, commanding them to make up the record of the former conviction of the prisoner, which they had refused to do. That application bad been made, and a rule, calling upon the Justices to show cause, had been granted; but in consequence of the press of business in the Court of King's Bench, it was impossible for the Justices to show cause until next Hilary Term. As the prisoner could not be tried until the record of his former occasion , his (Mr. Bodkin's) application now was, that the Cour t would pronounce the same rule as bad before been done by the Judges. Mr. C. PHILLIPS remarked that there were no less than twelve other prisoners in this day's list who were precisely in the same situation ; and it was melancholy t° reft•et, that whether guilty or innocent, they must r emsi° in custody until after this rule for a mandamus was dis' posed of.• Mr. Sergeant ARAEIN said that was much to be de . plored ; but as he was aware that the Judges intended t° confer upon the subject before coming into C o urt, h e should be glad if Counsel would make the motion before the Judges when they arrived. The presiding Judges (11r. Justice LITTLEDALE, I%ir k . Biron BOLLAND, and Mr. Justice BosAHQuirr) t° ° their seats upon the bench shortly after ten o'clock, wb e '} Mr. C. PHILLIPS renewed the appli c ation on behalf °f the prisoner Bowman, and the twelve other prison er ' , . . labouring under the effects of the " mistake." Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE inquired if th e rule had 00t come on during the last term, in consequence of the pr' s ' of business in the Court of King's Bench. a hu gr t e h e _e : ir HIP was equally certain that moti o ns of tar less impor tance press l r o C. .b P u e L s L s t ns saidth e Court there and been dispos e d of than a mo ti on , w hi c h, like tbi 4 t c o e f r t a K i n l ~ bad B e b n e c e h n , Ivolved the liberty of no lees than thirte e n s ubjects of w to 5.. , ,uw0. Th e J ust i e - s h a d, h owever , not on l y re fused iec tue en,ife term Pas without showing cause against the rule nisi for a ['lands' inns, tho:;,,. 'l. had been obtained on the very first day of the term. Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE, after conferring with hi s , Learned Brethre n , grante d t h e app li cat i on as regar ded all the thirteen prisoners. Richard Vickers was indicted for feloniously breaking and entering the dwelline-house of Peter Browne, at Sr. Pancras, on the 23d of October last, and stealing there'd from three pillow-eases, two towels, a table cloth, ar other artic'es, his property. The prosecutor deposed that on the day in question be had observed the prisoner in company with anoth er man in the street in the immediate vicinity of hi s house, and on the witness returning home, about 2 o'clock' he saw the prisoner coming out of th e h ac k yard of v"`: nesses house with a b un dl e under his arm. Witne:: called out to the p r i soner to stop, on which he ran 01' Witness and a man, of the name of Barton, pursued' and in his flight the prisoner threw down the bundler which witness picked up, and Barton secured the prisone r ' The bundle was found to contain the property cloned in the indictment. The other man effected his escape. William Burton deposed that he was a journeyma n biker, and that he wts called upon by the prosecutor 01 pursue the prisoner, which he did and secured him. There was an:tther man who escaped, but the prisoner sv Ag handed to a police-constable, and conveyed to the station' house. Witness saw no bundle with either the prisoner or the other man, but observed some linen lying in the road as he ran on in pursuit. The police•constable proved that the prisoner was given into his custody by the last witness, and conveyed by 1 1 ' 111 to the station house. The prisoner said that he bad been in Mr. Brown's skittle ground that afternoon, and when charged with stealing some linen there, the prisoner said he had met with a man who asked him to play at skittles. That he went on with him, and that the other man had stolen some linen from the kitchen. On searching the prisoner, witness found upon him Is. 3d. The prosecutor identified the linen, when produced, as his property. The prisoner, in his defence, repeated the story that the robbery had been committed by the young man who escaped, while he (the prisoner) was in the water closet. Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE, in summing up, told the Jury to dismiss from their minds that part of the charge which imputed to the prisoner the breaking and entering the dwelling-house, as there was no evidence to sup port it. The Jury, after a short deliberation, returned a verdict of Guilty of the minor offence of stealing only. Mary Noon was indicted for stealing, on the 17th of October, in the dwelling house of Joseph Pearce, a bank note, value 1001., and a bank-note, value 5/., his property. 11r. Pearce proved that he resided in New -street, Co. vent Garden, and carried on the business of a bootmaker. The prisoner had lived in his service for about six months previous to the 15th of October last, before which day witness hasl drawn 5001. from his bankers, and received two notes for 1001. each, a 200/. note, a 501. note, 4 20/. note, a JO/. note, and four Si. notes. These were all link of England notes. Witness put the notes in a small box, now produced, and placed the box in a small crevice - in the cellar for security on the 7th of October. Wit ness's family consists of his wife, three children, the pri soner, and two shoptnen, all of whom lived in the house, and all of them had access to the cellar, which was not locked. On the 17th of October he had occasion to put some more money into the box, and witness gave the box to his wife for that purpose. She counted the money in his presence, and found 105/. gone, namely, a 1001. note and a Si. note. The prisoner had then left his service two nays before. The numbers of the notes were, the 100 L, dated Dec. 12, 1832, No. 711, and the 51. was dated Aug. 14, 1533, and numbered 28,050. Bnides taking the numbers, witness marked the notes under the lamming with his initials, and the date he received them. On missing the money, witness went in pursuit of the pri soner, but did not find her that night, though she was taken into custody, while witness was away from home. Witness has since recovered the 1001., which was pro dmel at Bow-street by Mr. Dyer, the Bank (aerk. Mrs. Pearce corroborated the evidence of her husband in the main facts of his evidence, and added that the prisoner came to the hou se on t h e 17th October for her boxes, when witness taxed her with having taken a 5/. note, en which the prisoner laughed, and said she had not taken it. Witness sent for a constable, and gave the prisoner into custody. Mr, Dyer, a clerk in tile Bank of England, prvduce4 10 t 1
