Let the corn-law monopolists make up their minds to this, that not one brick of the corn-law robbery fabric will be left unturned in the coming period of national scarcity. The lords and gentlemen who protect themselves, must now look out for no mercy. There ha I been hope that the corn• laws were now to be allowed to die, and that PEEL and WELLINGTON were to hold their pall—but this hope has been dashed away. Mo nopoly still holds out, and the besieging army has no alter native but to renew its attack with increased 'vigour. We see that the League has lost no time in announcing new ar rangements for more extensive operations. Its last year's registration work has gained four counties; it now aspires to gain more than a dozen more, and what the League says it will do, will be done. The monopolists know that now, Bristol, Sheffield, Leeds, all the chief manufacturing towns of Yorkshire, are to hold public meetings. Let Sir ROBERT, if he has been disheartened by his Cabinet defeat, still have hope. The people of England will beat the Duke, who has beaten him. The Duke's victory in the Cabinet will be, like hie famous declaration against all Parliamentary Reform, the sure and speedy instrument of his defeat. With the fail ure of the potato crop, and deficient harvest, which now threatens high p r i ces an d starvation during the coi ning winter, every grain of food wasted or destroyed by s h e to-protecting clews becomes important; and the corn destroying tendencies of the game-laws will be viewed much more seriously next year than they were the last. The game lords— those who stifled Mr. BRIGHT'S report last year— have not then been so wise in their generation. We have been led to this subject by a letter in the Times, written by Captain FORBES, who describes himself a Deputy-Lieuten ant and Magistrate for Berkshire, and whose letter does him infinite honour. When famine impends, the case which Cap tain FORBES states, speaks for itself:— l am a freeholder living in the neighbourhood of a mighty Nimrod's game preserves, the effects of which this year (nearly a repetition of last and others preceding) are, that I have been obliged to plough up and entirely re-cultivate twenty-six acres, originally planted with wheat, and five with beans, and to dibble in beans in other land where the wheat was destroyed, which also, together with the rest of my crops, were ruinously damaged. This is a year of scarcity. My land being in the highest state of farming would yield, in ordinary seasons, a load of wheat to the acre. Now, at the average of one quarter, or eight bushels per man ( which I believe fair) in this year of scarcity, the bread of so filmy human beings is destroyed on one farm, not to mention other produce, and this sole'y for the amusement of the leisure hours of a powerful neighbour. " I think you will agree with me that, with our increasing population, and the severe competition farmers are exposed to in the markets, it is high time to expunge the game-laws from the statute-book." As for the farmers being exposed to competition, what cares the game-lord for that, except as it will diminish the rent which he receives; and if he will not consent to a dimi- nution of rent for any other reason, will he not for the grati fication of his own pleasures? He protects the farmer, not for the farmer's sake, but his own, and will protect him against every one but hitnself and his own pleasures. There shall be a duty on poultry from France or Belgium to protect the British farmer, but the farmer may do the best he can against the competition of his landlord's game at the poul terer's. Never was selfishness so complete as that of the corn-law-upholding game protecting English squire. For the protection of the English landlord, the supply of food to the people of England is narrowed, and the English landlord narrows the supply of food still further for his own amuse ment. With a free supply of corn—with the ports open— the game-laws might be . let alone. As it is, with famine im pending, all the game prosecutions and all the scurrilous letters of all the GRANTLEY BERKELZYS in the kingdom cannot save them. We regret to find from the Irish papers, that the horrible system of assassination is still carried on in that unfortunate country, and that it is proceeding to such a height, that if exertions are not made by every respectable class in the community, property will speedily lose half its value, and not even labour be found for the starving peasant. In fact, it has become a system. The fig ture in land is considered the peasant's right ; be has been buoyed up with the hope that the Saxons would ultimately be expelled, and that the entire soil will remain in possession of the native Irish. But what renders the present appearance ofaffairs more melancholy—the peasant is resolved not to wait for that happy deliverance, he is resolved at once to take the law into his own hand, and when turned out of a plot of ground for his negligence and sloth, he throws all the blame upon the unhappy landlord; and, considering himself fully entitled to possession, with the assistance of some comrades, he waylays his victim, and, in open day, commits the foulest murder. Mr. O'CoxxELL cannot deny such melancholy truths, which are now, indeed, admitted by all parties in Ireland. Even hand-bills are cir culated in different counties, inciting the peasantry to massacre their landlords. At the meeting of the Repeal Association, on Monday, Mr. O'ComiELL produced a docu ment headed " Landlords and Tenants—Tyrants turning Tenants out," which, he observed, was extensively circulated, and incited the people to assassinate their landlords. He added, the notice was of such an atrocious character, that he could not feel justified in giving it publicity. The paper was printed on good paper, in excellent type, and bore the signature of the Messrs. PlLKnicerox, Holborn, London. The moment he saw the document he dispatched it to the Commissioners of Police. Facts like these received confirmation from another speaker, Mr. O'NEIL, who, after adverting to the failure of the :potato crop to the extent of two-thirds, said, " That was a melancholy state of things, but it might be rendered still worse, if secret societies, so injurious to the country, were not put down. To illustrate this fact, he might mention that a friend of his had borrowed in England a sum of 30,0001., which he proposed . to expend in the im provement of his estate. Before the arrangements were finally concluded a murder was perpetrated in the immediate neighbourhood of his friend, which so terrified the English capitalist, that he backed out of the agreement, pay , ing all the costs incurred in making the title, and then lent his money on security in England at three per cent., al though he was to have received five in Ireland. It was, therefore to secrect societies, from which the murder sprung, that many of the evils of this country were to be attributed." Let the priests of Ireland ponder well on statements like these. No clergy in the world ever had such power over their people. They have many means of discovering the wretched criminals who thus disgrace human nature ; and if they do not,without delay, combine together for putting down outrages so ruinous to the country, and so contrary to every precept of the Gospel, they must incur the blame of participating in the crimes. Even under such an atrocious system the construction of railroads, which promised so fair to give employment to tens of thousands, will turn out only a curse, and every English engineer and artisan and labourer, who might be neces sary to teach them in carrying on the works, would be exposed to an untimely end. A Loyal Association, to put down assassination, might be well substituted for the present Repeal Association. The one is purely a party concern—the other would embrace every good Christian, every honest man, and every friend of his country. We have intelligence from Madrid of the 11th instant, which is of a distressing character. The investigations into the late mutiny at Valentin had been brought to a close, and the greater part of the soldiers implicated had been con demned to death. The Tiempo, in a seconkedition, states that as the last courier left ten of the unfortimate prisoners were on their way to the• place of execution, and that from eighteen to twenty more would undergo the same fate. It appears, also, that several of the inhabitants had been ba nished on twenty-four hours' notice, without a trial or par ticulars of the charges against them. The same journal quotes an extract from the Gibraltar Chronicle, according to which the last accounts from Fez were highly favourable to ABD-EL-KADER, who had killed about 800 men and captured 500 in his late engagements with the French ; and the Em peror of Monocco was about to quit Mequinez. We give the following from the Clamor Publico, relative to Court amusements : " It is said that Queen Maria Christina is very expert in the culinary art, and that, in her rural excursions, she likes to try the skill of those who accompany her. On a recent occasion she de. sired the Ministers of War, Justice, and Foreign Affairs, to pre. pare, each of them, a dish of their own. General Narvaez cooked a gaspacho (a sort of soup, consisting of water, bread, oil, vinegar, milk, salt, and pepper), and garlick was found to predominate far too much, M. Mayans bestowed his skill on chickens with a To mata sauce, but they were smoked. M. Martinez de la Rosa con. tented himself with the production of hard eggs; and the Royal Family are stated to have laughed most heartily at the culinary abi. lities of their Ministers." The Spanish Funds were rising. On the 11th the Three per Cents. were done at 35% 3 / 4 ; the Five per Cents at 24%; and the Passives at 8% lA. The Paris papers are chiefly occupied with the affairs of Africa, a resolution adopted by the Council-General of the Seine to prevent :gambling in railway shares, and an ac count, dated Montt Video, Sept. 8, of the operations of the English and French squadrons in taking possession of Colo nia. On the latter subject the Journal des Debats contains a letter, extending to four columns, of which we give the fol lowing abstract, rather to show the views of the French writer, than for much additional information :—" The united English and French squadrons have taken possession of the town of Colonia. 'Previously to the proceedings of the squadrons, assistance had been given to the Government of Monte Video in fitting out a small flotilla, in order that the possession :of Colonia might be given up to the troops of Monte Video as soon as it should have come into the hands of the allied forces. On the 29th of August two English vessels, the Satellite and the Philomele, and three French vessels of twenty guns each, the Assas,Coquette, and Ducoueclie, had come to an anchorage off Colonia, and on the 30th the two Admirals made preparations for the attack. A few days before their arrival the Commandant of Colonia had sent away all the foreigners, and they had taken refuge in the small island of San Gabriel, where they were provided with the meaas of subsistence by the French and English vessels. In the evening of the 30th the batteries of Colonia opened their fire upon the allied squadrons, but it did no in jury. The Asses was the only vessel struck by a ball, and that slightly. At the same time that the batteries began to play upon the vessels a fire broke out in several parts of the town, and the flames threw a vivid light over the operations At eight o'clock on the morning of the 31st the flotilla from Monte Video arrived, and the garrison, seeing the Oriental flag, renewed with rage the attack upon the vessels. The Philomele first replied, and was followed by the other Eng lish vessel. The French Admiral then ordered the Assas, Coquette, and Decouedie, to open their fire, which they did with effect, but in such a way as not to do more damage to the town than could be helped. The flotilla then joined in the siege, and the enemy having ceased firing, and the town appearing to be evacuated" the troops, raised at Monte Video to about 450 in number, chiefly Italian refugees, effected a landing. The fire which had broken out in the town had not done much injury, but the inhabitants had fled. The troops from Monte Video com menced a pillage, and, breaking open the storehou.ses, in dulged in potations of strong liquors, leaving what they did not drink to run to waste in the streets. Even the pretty church of Colonia was not respecter), and the altar became a drinking table. None of the English and French sailors partook of these excesses, but applied themselves assiduously —after something like order had been restored—to the repair of the fortifications. This being done, and seven pieces of cannon from the ships being mounted, the allied squadron placed the town in the hands of a garrison of the. Monte Videan troops, and returned to Monte Video. The accounts add, that Martin Gartia, which had already been aband by the troops of ROSAS, was to be occupied by a Barr; Monte Video, and all the coast of Uruguay was t• a state of blockade." ..,nod .eon from ..,be placed in The dispatches received by the l' ..:lnister of Wa r f rom add little to the previm information. If M arshal uorAup, however, b; apelieyeci t , the game is all up pith ABD-EL-KADER. In one of his reperts he thus boasts 1— "We have nothing more to fear from ABD-EL-KADER, who has probably re-entered Morocco, having failed in his attempt at a general insurrection, and abandoning to themselves the tribes that he had excited to revolt in the province of Oran. This ought to lower him in the eyes q the Arabs ; but they do not judge of things in the same way as ourselves." The last portion of the paragraph contains the whole secret of the endless disappointments to which the eccentric Governor- General is (Pobmed. The Arabs will judge of things in their. , own way, they 'will take no ad vice from aik , enemy, but go 4 fighting his ,21 'troops in detail rassing them on v . / . - march, and sur prising them in ' ry mountain pass Wglen. Some of the Opposition withVieason consider the gaAhal totally unfit for the Government of Algiers, and look only to increasing and hopeless warfare while he retains supreme power. The meeting of the Council General of the Seine, which took place on Saturday, has caused a good deal of sensation among the Parisians, those especially interested in railway speculation. M. ARAGO was present, and recanted his opinion delivered in the Chamber, to the effect that the management and formation of railways ought not to be entrusted to the state. He may think himself right at last, but the opinions of this philosopher are not to be de pended upon, for he changes them with wonderful facility. A proposition was made with a view to check jobbing in shares, and when the President was about to put it to the vote, M. ARAGO rose and said,:— " My position requires that I should offer some explanations upon the vote I am about to give; for it will be in favour of the amendment of M. Considerant. In the Chamber I was a member, and was appointed reporter of the committee of eighteen which decided, in the railroad question, in favour of companies. It is not necessary for me to explain my reasons for then refusing to grant the formation and management of the railroads to the State. But I shall take this opportunity for declaring explicitly that I was mistaken. I did not foresee those things which we how witness; but, considering the deplorable and ecundalous transactions to which semblances of adjudication have given rise, my opinion is altered." The following is the proposition which was adopted : " Considering that the Legislature, in ordering the execution of the great railway lines by public adjudication, intended that the State should profit by the diminution of the length of the concession, and by the other advantages arising from a fair competition ; con sidering that if the spirit of association, recognised as useful for carrying out great enterprises, allows bona fide companies, but in dividually too weak for the intended object, to unite for the execu tion of great works, yet it is important that the wise prescriptions of the Legislature in what regards competition should not be eluded; considering that it is urgent to put a stop to the incessant forma tion of these companies, which, without any hope of arriving at an adjudication, without preparatory surveys, without means of exe cution, are got up for the purpose of jobbing in promises, or with a view to arrive at a fusion ; considering that it is the interest of trade to see the large amount of capital embarked in such compa nies restored t• circulation, its absence being calculated to en danger public credit, the Council expresses its desire to see the Minister of Public Works and the Minister of Finance adopt such measures as may prevent a similar state of things, ensure a real competition for the great lines, and remedy the inconveniences re suiting from the abandonment of the great lines by the State to pri rate companies." Some of the journals express themselves strongly in favour of this resolution. The price of bread had fallen in Paris, and for the lasi fortnight of November bad been fixed at 36c. the kilo gramme, or about 60. for the 41b. loaf. For the first fortnight of the month it had been 89c. the kilogramme. The following are miscellaneous extracts from the papers : " All the vessels destined for the western coast of Africa hare received orders to leave Fiance as soon as possible. The Caraibe, steam frigate, which bears the Admiral's flag, is to proceed in the first instance to Cadiz, to come to some understanding, it is said, with the officer in command of the English squadron, relative to the object of their joint mission. "The Minister of the Interior has just addressed to the Pre fects of the Departments a circular, calling on them to send in such documents as may be useful to draw up, according to the wish expressed by the Committee on the budget of receipts of 1846, a statement of the mortmain property belonging to the several charitable establishments In each department. The Mi nister also directs the Prefects to collect detailed information rela tive to the property of every kind belonging to the hospitals and other charitable establishments within their district. " The Chateau de Ferney Voltaire was sold by auction on the 12th inst., at Gex, for 456,000 f., to M. Grignolet, late a shawl manufacturer at Paris, who is reported to be the possessor of a fortune of 20,000,000 f., or 800,0001. sterling, and has a son deaf and dumb, who, it is positively stated, will be shortly married to a young lady of a distinguished family at Geneva. " On Thursday last a locomotive engine, about to convey some English workmen along the railroad to a certain point, set off of itself from Blois, without an engineer or stoker, and ran with such velocity that it went a distance of seven leagues in ten mi. nutes, and then stepped of its own accord, the valve having spon taneously opened and let off the steam. " On the 11th a petition was presented in the Chamber of De puties at Dresden, praying the Government to take measures to prevent the possibility of a scarcity of food. The Minister of State, De Falkenstein, declared that, from the inquiries made, no serious apprehension of a scarcity ought to be entertained-first, be cause the potato disease was not general In Saxony; and, next, because the harvest was not a failure. The Minister added, that if any extraordinary circumstances arose, the Government would immediately adopt such measures as would be advantageous to the country." " The Lucerne State Gazette publishes a long confession, by Muller, of the murder of M. Leu. He states that he made an en. trance into the house of the victim by means of a ladder, and shot him as he lay in bed, then rushed out of the house and made his escape. Muller declares that he never would have committed the murder if large sums of money had not been offered to hiss as an inducement. The liberal journals in Switzerland concur, how ever, in opinion, that the denunciations of persons who have been arrested as accomplices have no foundation in fact, whatever truth there may be in the confession of Muller as regards himself. " The Nese Zurich Gazelle of the 13th says:-' The Government of Lucerne has required our Government to arrest all such of the assassins of M. Lcu as have taken refuge in our canton, but, with the exception of Lieutenant Brummer, already arrested, none can be found within this canton.'"

ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.) Some petitions remaining over since yesterday, as well as some orders of course, were disposed of. STOCKEN U. DAWSON. Mr. TURNER resumed his arguments in this case. Mr. ROUPELL followed on the same side, and contended that this was a case which properly came within the jurisdic tion of this Court," and was not, as had been contended, a matter exclusively for the consideration of the Court of Bankruptcy. He conceived that it was the practice of the Court not to divide assets until the trade debts had been satisfied; because, in fact, until this had been doiae, no just distribution of the same could be made. Mr. KINDERSLRY replied at great length, and contended that trade debts were not entitled to any priority of payment over other equitable claims His LORDSHIP—It has been contended by the other side that there isle. lien on all description of property, which I think very questionable. Mr. KINDERSLET—I am going now to call your Lordship's attention to that question. (The Learned Counsel then pro ceeded with, his argument, and cited several authorities in support of his position). His LORDSHIP decided in favour of the plaintiff, and or dered the costa to be taken out of the estate. VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) (Before the VICE-CHANCELLOR of ENGLAND.) WHITEHEAD V. BENNETT. _ - Our readers will recollect that this case came before the Court on Monday upon motion for a receiver, and that upon that occasion it was ordered to stand over to see if they could not come to some agreement among themselves. Mr. J. PARKER stated this morning that no proposal had been made to his clients which they could accept, and there fore he was afraid he must go on with the motion. Mr. STUART observed that it could not be proceeded with to-day, as he had not his brief in Court. It was ultimately arranged that the matter should come on first to-morrow. BLACKBURN V. STANILAND AND SOWERBY. The bill in this case was filed by the plaintiff, who is a wine-merchant, for the purpose of obtaining the decree of the Court that the defendants were liable to account for the property of the business alleged to have been carried on by the defendant Staniland in his character as executor, and also for the assets which were admitted to have been re ceived by both the defendants on account of the estate of a gentleman named Thomas Clifford. From the statements in the bill it appeared that Some years ago Mr. Thomas Clifford carried on the business.df an innkeeper at the Palace Inn, Sheffield, and in that character he had dealings with the plaintiff, who was a wine-mer chant, and became indebted to him to the extent of 991. The plaintiff brought an action against Mr. Clifford for the amount, but before the proceedings advanced so far as the plaintiff's obtaining judgment, Mr. Clifford died. The defendant Staniland, who was his sole executor, carried on the business afterwards, as it was alleged, as executor of Clifford, but, as he asserted, for the creditors. The other defendant, Mr. Sowerby, who was a solicitor, it was alleged, had acted as such to Staniland in his character of executor. In these characters certain funds cameinto their hands, which they deposited in the hands of Messrs. Shores and Co., bankers of Sheffield. These funds were lost in consequence of the bankruptcy of Messrs. Shores, and the object of the present bill was to compel the defendants to make good the amount, and also to compel Staniland to 'account for the profits he had made by carrying on the business of The Palace Inn, at Sheffield. Mr. Stuart and Mr. Campbell appeared for the plaintiff. Mr. James Parker and Mr. Bethell were Counsel for the defendants, and contended that they were acting as the ser vants of the creditors, and as such were not liable personally to make good any losses that had occurred. His HONOUR at, the conclusion of the argument gave judg ment, dismissing both the original and supplemental bills with costs. (Before Vice-Chancellor WioRAM.) SHARP v. TAYLOR. His HONOUR pronounced judgment on the exceptions taken in this case by the plaintiffs and defendants. The first of the plaintiffs' exceptions was allowed, the account being subject to a correction by striking out the sum of 1,000/. ; the other exceptions were allowed. On the eighth, which wasthat the Master had committed a certain witness, and received evi dence, his Honour said he had seen the Master, who in refer ence to this said he conceived himself justified in receiving the evidence, for reasons not stated in Court, but such as in his Honour's opinion ought not to have prevailed. He was extremely sorry to allow this exception, but Mr. Burge's client, (one of the defendants), would have the benefit of its going back to the Master; the 3d, 4th and sth exceptions being in consequence drawn with it again before the Master. Of the exceptions by tlie defendants, that having reference to the 7441. net proceeds of 100 bales of cotton shipped for Liverpool, at Charleston, was reserved for further directions. Another exception was taken to the charge of half the ex penses incurred by Mr. Hodgsoo, and placed to Mr. Sharp's debit; Mr. Hodgson was emplored by Robertson without the privity of Sharp, and sent out on instructions and matters in which Sharp had no interest; but while out Mr. Hodgson did act in matters where Shaio was concerned, and in consequence one-half of his whOle expenses, which amounted to 4001., was charged to Sharp. This exception must be referred back to the Master, with liberty to Taylor to show, if he can, whether any of? such moneys expended by Hodgson are to be allowed out of the sum due to Sharp. Reference was made again to the Master on the seventh and eighth exceptions, on account of imperfection and incon clusiveness in the Master's finding. AWLINS V. MOSS. In this case it was argued, on the part of Mr. Moss, that the 9001. recovered on the estate of Harrison was a sum due on the general account. In this view his Honour could not decide in the absence of the other parties, and therefor() sent it back to the Master to inquire who were the parties en titled to participate in this sum. His Honour allowed Mr. Moss his professional charges up to the time of his becoming trustee, but only such sums after that as he might be out of pocket. The suitors, in case they could not agree on what the sums were which have been so allowed, are at liberty to go before the Master for this purpose. SIR CHARLES PRICE V. THE CORPORATION OF PENZANCE.' This case, the facts of which were mentioned in The Sun a few days ago, came on by petition to be heard on the sub ject of costs. His HONOUR said the plaintiff had received the benefit of the suit, inasmuch as the market had been built and the road made, and although there had been unusual delay on the part of the Corporation he did not see sufficient grounds for allow ing costs to either. The cause has been ordered to come on for re-bearing on an objection taken by the defendants. QUEEN'S BENCH.—(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banco.) THE Q UEEN V. JOHNSON. In this case Counsel moved that the summary conviction had in this case be brought up and quashed, on the ground of its being informal and against the statutes. Defendant was convicted before the magistrates, at Hull, in October, 1844, under the 39th Geo. 3, sec. 75, cap. 15, and fined 201., for taking 2d. at the door of a public-house, as admission money, to hear alecture delivered by one Emma Martin ' on " The Crimes and Follies of Christian Missions." The Act under which the conviction had taken place was an "Act for the Better Suppression of Seditious Assemblies," and it pro hibited the taking of fee,a under circumstances such as those charged against the defendant. The penalty is 201., one half of which went to the Crown, and the other to the in former. Counsel contended that the conviction was bad and informal, inasmuch as the conviction set out that the infor mation was laid by an informer, but did not specify his name. Counsel having cited several Acts of Parliament in support of his argument, The COURT decided that the conviction was good, inas • much as the information was in conformity with the form contained in the Act of Parliament, and, therefore, if there was any omission, it was the fault of the Legislature. THE QUEEN V. THE MAYOR AND ALDERMEN OF LONDON. Counsel stated that this was a demurrer to a return to a mandamus, calling upon the Mayor and Aldermen of London to admit or cause to be admitted William Henry Ashurst an attorney of the Loft! Mayor's Court, to which he was entitled by the 6th and 7th Tic., cap. 73, sec. 27. The mandamus stated that the Court of the Lord Mayor of London was an inferior court of the City of Loudon ; and the return, he (the Learned Counsel) said he conceived was rather an extraordi nary instrument. It appeared that Mr. Ashhurst was an attorney of the courts of Westminster, and was, therefore, en titled, as he (the Learned Counsel) would show, to be ad 176tted an attorney of the Lord Mayor's Court, which was an inferior Court. Counsel then read the 27th section of the 6 and 7 Vict., cap. 73, which gave an attorney of the superior courts the right to practice in all inferior courts. The man damus commanded that Mr. Ashurst should be admitted an attorney of the Lord Mayor's Court, and as it was alleged that that was an inferior.court, it was expected that that fact would be admitted in the return, but that had not been done. The return, on the contrary, se t f er t,, that the Lord Mayor's. Court was a court of law and equity', S and that- it also had a penal jurisdiction .attached to it, and ti. at penalties awarded by it could be recovered in that Court only; Mr. Justice WILLIAMS said th a t that, WAS argument to show that the applicant was not At. COUNSEL said it might or might not be an argume nt that way House of Commons or House of Lords. Lord DErrmbeforeAN the You rest on the w ords of the 27 th sectiora COUNSEL —es, my Lord. Lord DENMAN thought it would the more COnvenien course to hear the opposite Counsel first. COUNSEL on behalf of the Lord Mayor then proceeded. to,. contend that this application could not be granted, and ton' the Act read by his, Learned Friend never could have oc r templated including the Lord Mayor's Court amongst tne. inferior courts. The court of the Lord Mayor of London !co! a court from time immemorial, and had jurisdiction attaeloot:', to it different altogether from any of the inferior Courts, as that an action tried in it could not be removed to any of t s * superior Courts : the Learned Counsel proceeded to ore 7. rt those points at considerable length, and contended, Id" the Lord Minfe r Mayor's Court was not an infer Cou, n: a anal' of court of law only, or a court of equity only, but law and equity. Mr. Ashhurst's Counsel then p r oceeded with his erg!! ment, and contended that if the Mayor's Court w as not to be considered an inferior Court, that fact should have been se forth in the return ; but that bad not been done. Lord DENMAN said the Court would take time to forconsider the section of the Act upon which the Learned Canoe' for Mr. Ashurst relied.

Cla ifif i l tl o l This was an action of debt, brought by iefe' on of assignee of an insolvent debtor, to recover from t" e c L a a particular sum of money, which was the result „` - a criSV, arbitration. The declaration made the cause 8 , - t be debt upon the submission or agreement to abide /), pa r in question, and the defendant had demurred to i t o c, the declaration, on the ground that it was bad in law. Mr. ATIIERTON now appeared to suport the den' fie ree t y first objection was to the form of action, for their o poll i asi would perceive that this was not an action /Ad award, but an action of debt, founded upon id'eferle'o6 promise between the plaintiff and the tba t to to abide by a prospective award ; and he subinide a otr a • ddif form of pleading was contrary to precedent, an d principle.
