This was the last day of the Court's sitting until after the holidays; The LORD CHANCELLOR, upon coming into_ Court, said that he had looked at the list of causes which were standing for judgment, and was sorry to find that he was very much in ar rear. Be intended to stay in town during the holidays, and -prepare himself for giving judgment in several causes. lany of the causes were of great impottance, and pressed exceedingly far decision. Of that description were the cause of Broirn and . De Tastet, and Dudley and Freeman. ' He would communicate to Counsel the list of causes in which he would be ready with his judgments, in order that all parties might be prepared to 'receive them when the Court should sit again. Mr. AGAR asked whether the cause of Wood and Woad was amongst those which his Lordship intended to decide? The Loan CitAricEr.Lon—Yes,, it is. 1 have got all the causes classed alphabetically ; it is the only way in which r can get at them. All I can do is to pledge myself that during the holidays I will spend all my time in preparing myself to dispose of these causes. If any gentleman should think my alphabet is not correct, and would send me a note , orr the subject, I should feel personally obliged to him. His Lordship was during the day occupied in hearing luna tic petitions, which did nut present any thing Worthy of notice. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, DEc. 22. At Nisi Prius.—Before the Loßti CHIEF JUSTICE. WALTER V. SMITH. • This was a question upon the Pawnbrokers' Act ; the de cision will be of some general importance. The plaintiff, who resides in,Cheltenham, pledged his watch 'for two guineas, with a piwnbroker of Bristol.—The watch' being gold was worth considerably more than -the sum for which it stood pledged ; and the owner, at the expiration of 12 months and a day, wrote to desire thatthe detendant would keep it for him. The defendant replied to the plaintiff, by in timating that the watch was out of time (over the twelve months), and forfeited; and further stated, that lie would not give it up. The plaintiff then went over to Bristol, and saw the detaining pawnbroker in person : Mr. Smith confessed that the watch was in his custody, but refused, on a tender of thirteen months' interest, to resign it. • . Mr. AIARRYAT, for the plaintiff, relied upon the act of Par liament. A pawnbroker, after keeping..Pledas (value more than ten shillings) twelvemonths and fiday, was bound to have them publicly sold at auction ; and to refund, upon demand,. to the original owner, whatever the property . had fetched on sale beyond the amount of his loan and interest. The pledge, there fore, did not (Mr. Marryat contended) become tbrfeit to the pawnbroker at the end of ,twelve Imonths, and. a day; but the expiration of that period Merely gave to the holder authority to resort to specific means for the payment of :his hen - . Mr. GURNEY appeared for the defendant. The Loam CHIEF JU STICE said that the case was new.— His impression was (as then advised) that if the person pledging applied previous: to any kep towards actual sale, the pawnbroker, even although the twelve months should have expired, was bound, upon payment of principal and interest, to deliver the property up to the owner. _ A verdict for 101. was taken for the plaintiff, subject to the future opinion of the Court. ALLAILDYCE V. JOTINSON. Mr. CAMPBELL requested that this cause (a special Jury) might be fixed for trial at the adjourned sittings. The -Lout) CHIEF J.usTICE was unwilling to fix new causes while old - ones remained untried. Mr. CAMPBELL said that the -circumstances were peculiar. The action was for Crim. Con. The plaintiff, whowas surgeon to the 34th regiment of foot, was anxious to join his. regiment in India ; he intended to apply to • Parliament for a divorce ; arid,.unless the case were tried before February, he would be de tained twelve months longer in this country. There were other circumstances pressing the trial of the cause. The fact was al leged to have occurred in the course of a passage from India to England ; and many witnesses were forthcoming at the present moment whom it might be difficult at a future time to produce. The LonD Citm y Ju Trcr admitted - the peculiarity_ of the circumstances, and. ordered eh 4 t the cause should stand for an early day. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, DEC. 22: SIIIELT.9 AND ANOTHER V. ItIJCSELL. Mr. Serjeant LEN s, in stating the case to the jury, remarked _ that the circumstances connected with this transaction were of the most singular nature. It was an action brought by Messrs. Shiells and Johns, who were bankers at Plymouth Dock, against the defendants, who were the proprietors of the Plymouth wag gon, for the recovery ofstsol. which was the amount insured at their office on the Ist December, IMO, upon a parcel of the bank notes of their Plymouth Bank, amounting to between 13 and 14001. This parcel was delivered at the waggon office, by the porter of Sir John Perring's bank, on the evening of the Ist of December, according to their usual practice of remitting to their corresPondents of the country banks, the. parcels of their notes, which they had, according to previous arrangetnents, paid on demand at their bank in town. The reason why the action was not brought for the whole amount of the notes was, that insur ance was onlyspaid upon 4501. of the amount. He would prove in evidence, that the regular clerk of Sir John Perring had made up the pared for remittance to the Plymouth' Bank, on the .Ist of December, and , had in the. evening delivered it to their porter, Painter, who would prove he duly deposited it, and paid for it, at Russet's Waggon Office. By the regular course, this parcel would reach Plymouth on the 13th December, but in stead of arriving on that day, there came to the Plymouth Bank a parcel, not the same as that transmitted froni'Perring's, but one resembling it in site, and having the same direction, and also having seals resembling those used at the London Bank, but merely containing, in:tead of country notes, a parcel of waste paper. Unfortunately one of the partners at Plymouth, being ill when this parcel came, it lay by unopened in their iron safe until the'lBol, when the abstraction of the property was dis covered on breaking the seals. He must in this stage of the pro ceeding apprize the Jury that the robbery could not have been perpetrated subsequent to the arrival of the parcel at Plymouth, for many of the stolen notes Were repaid 'w ithin a few days of their delivery at the waggon-office, by Sit John Perring's bank, so that there was every reason to suppose the robbery had been committed in or near London. John West was a clerk in Sir John h'erring's bank ; they were the London agents of the Plymouth bank. It was' their usual practice, at stated periods, to return country bank notes to the proprietors; on the Ist December, witness made up a par cel'of the Plymouth notes, to the amount of 1,1161. and directed it to " Messrs. Shiells and Johns, Plymouth Dock,—per Rus sell's waggon, Dec. 1." He delivered the parcel to their porter, John Painter, to be conveyed to the waggon-office. The parcel contained the whole of the paid notes up to the ist of Decem ber; he sealed it with the seal bearing the initials of the bank, which he•now produced; the packet handed to him was not that which he so sent ; it had the same initials, but bore no resem blance to the genuine seal. The mock parcel Was proved , by a witness named Thompson, to be the same which arrived at the bank at *Plymouth Dock, on the 13th December, and that it remained in the iron sate up_ til the 19th, owing to the illness of one of the partners.. John Painter, the porter at Sir John Perring'a, examined—l have been there twelve years. I remember receiving three par cels on the Ist of December, from Mr. West, about half-past five o'clbek, or •thereabouts. I.had also letters, which I. deli , vered at the Post Office before seven o'clock. I put the three parcels into . a bag; two ctf them were directed to Messrs. Shiells •and-Johne—one to go by Russell's waggon, and the other front the Swan with Two Necks. • The latter I. delivered first ; and when I did that, I went with the other to Rusiell'S office ; it could not be much after seven when I had'delivered the whole of the parcels. 'When I went to the waggon office, I said to the porter, " Call somebody, 1 want to give a parcel." Two per sons like gentlemen were there at the time; but 1 said it was my turn to be served first, antll laid my parcelon the desk, and paid 11. 2s. Bd. for the booking (having it also vouched in ray own book) and insuring for 4501. I mentionea nothing about the sum, or the contents of the parcel. The two gentlemen who were at the waggon office when I was there, might or might . not have seen the parcel I delivered. Cross-examined by Mr. Serjeant PELL The entry in the book of vouchers is in my hand-writing ; but the initials C. 0. and the amount insured, arelay the book-keeper. L have lived several years with Peering and Co. I cannot speak to the exact. time when 1 got the parcel from Mr. West. Russell's 'waggon office was in Friday-street. The night was dark, and I think there was rather a fault light at that office. The person • now in Court (Mr. Chase) was the hook keeper whom I saw at the office. I put the parceldoWn on the desk, paid the 11. 2s. lid. and left it in his charge. The two Gentlemen did not come into the office ; I•believe they staid at the door ; but •I cannot say, for I did not take particular notice. I went there alone. know a person named Nightingale, a man with one arm and . very red whiskers.. I have known him about three years, and speak •to him when we meet, and may be have somewhat to drink.—This does not occur_often, but I am so far intimate with him, if you call that being acquainted; as to call upon him sometimes ; he has never called upon me since ' this 'has occurred. • . Mr. Serjeant PELL here called Nightingale, whom the wit ness identified as being the man of what'll lie spoke, - but who was not with him on the Ist of December. Mr. Serjeant PELL, for the defendants, addressed the Jury at,considetable length; hesaid, that in this ease his painful duty was to establish guilt upon an individual who was a party in this most singular transaction, for he apprehended, iMthe result,. they would have no other alternative than to fix guilt upon the book-keeper at the waggon-office, or upon Pain ter, the porter to Sir .John Peering. The Learned Serjeant then commented with great severity upon the testimony of the porter, whose statement of the occurrence he altogether hn pupal. They had heard from Painter that the parcel was de livered to him by the clerk about half-past five o'clock, and he should prove that he did not deliver it at the wkneon office until about ha,-past seven o'clock—a space which admitted of suffi cient opportunities for transforming the parcels. The Jury had heard Painter declare that he went unaccompanied by Nightingale to the • waggon office. Now, on that. point, he ; should prove the witness's statement untrue for out of the mouths of a number of witnesses he would clearly deniOn strate that Nightingale was with him at the very time of his being at the office .on the night of the Ist of Decem ber. ' The appearance of Nightingale was most remarkable, and could not be mistaken., for be was a man with one arm only, and wearing peculiarly red whiskers. If he then proved, to the satisfaction of the Jury, that Painter sworefalsely when he denied being accompanied by Nightingale, then there would be an end to the ease. It was admitted from the books of Sir J. Peering and co. that ofthe Plymouth notes transmitted to the Plymouth waggon office on the Ist December, 1101. and 1301_ had been paid again in two sums at Perring's on the sth of December: 1601. and 1401. in two sums on the 6th, and several other sums on the days immediately succeeding. Air. Case, the hook-keeper to Russell and Co. deposed Pia the night of the Ist December, near eight o'clock, Painter, Nightingale, and two others, came to the office, which was lighted with gas and was quite strong and clear then as is now the light of this ' Court The persons have named came to the office nearly at one time. I spoke first to the two gentlemen. Painter was at the time standing near the desk, and Nightingale near the door post. Painter then gave me 11. 2s. -W. with a parcel, to insure it for 4501. The other two men who came up to the office had left it before I took the parcel, which I in stantly deposited in the iron safe, where were pregioaaly 5 other parcels, worth 14 or 15001. I then locked the chest and pet the key into my pocket. Daniel Ilooder and a person named Mayes were within five yards of me on duty at the time. For any thing I know the five parcels, with that in the safr, arrived all right • believe they did. After locking the safe and keep ing the key in my pocket until the next day, I unlocked it, took out the parcels, and deposited them in a sate and secure box, which we have for valhable parcels at the bottom of the waggon, and chained to the rails. After depositing them there, I waited to see the waggon loaded ; at five o'clock, on the following morning, the waggon set out; when Painter breught parcels he was in the habit of applying for drink, but he dui not on this occa.sion, • Cross-examined—He was positive the valuable parcels were put in after the box was fixed in the •Vaggon ; be saw them locked in, and then the general loading was piled on under his own observation ; he was quite positive Nightingale was pre sent when the parcel was delivered by Painter. Daniel dodder, porter at Russell's waggon-office, saw Painter and Nightingale at the waggon-office together about half-past seven o'clock on the night in question. • William May es,in the service of Messrs. Russell, deposed to the same effect. It was clearly proved by several witnesses, that the box had not been opened until the errival of the waggon at Plymouth, though there a ere other keys on the road. • James Stevens, from Plymouth, proved he was at that place the book-keeper of the defendants, cMessrt. Russell. He re membered the arrival of the wagoon in question at Plymouth; he took the parcels out of the safe-box and put them into the iron-box in his office, and locked them there. It was forward ed the next day to Dock to Niesses. The following witnesses were therm examined for the plaintiffs in reply. Nightingale was ordered' slit of Court, and James Pitt was examined as follows :--I ain an appraiser and auctioneer, and know Nightingale, bat not very intimately. I remember being at his house about six o'clock on the Ist December. I saw Nightingale. • serving in his shop when I entered the house, about six o'clock. I staid there an hoar,- and he (Nightin ! gale) was in the shop as I went away, serving as he was when I *ent4red. Mrs. Nightingale was called, bat she did not answer. John Nightingale was then re -conducted into Court- and - eX amined. It is false. that I was at the waggon-office (as swam) on any part of the day or evening Of the Ist Decienber ; neither was I there in company *with Painter on any period of that day or sight. Mr. Segjeant Pr.tt was heard, in consequence of the addi tional evidence last adduced; 'and he contrasted the evidence of Painter and Nightingale with that of all the persons in the waggon office, and asked the Jury whether it was possible fog them to hesitate upon the. point Of credibility ? Mr. Sergeant LEN - s fait, the most important question first: to consider wase. whether Painter and Nightingale were at the. waggon-office together. If the fact had been so, why conceal it ? It would have been as easy to say originally that Nightin gale was present with Painter, as that he was not. There could have been no motive upon earth for concealing such a fact, if it really had occurred in the smile meaner in which it was pre tended at the other side. - ' • - At half-past four o'clock Chief Justice Dallas charged the Jury. He remarked upon the great difficulty of personal tity, as applicable io the eVidenee respecting Painter and Night ingale ; • but could not help aalvertinA to the hesitation of the former to acknowledge at first his intimacy or acquaintance with the latter. The Learned Judge then summed up the evidence in the most impartial manner, and the Jury, without leaving the box, found a verdict for the defendant. • The moment the verdict was given, NI r. Serjeant Pell applied to have Painter and Nightingale taken into custody, Lis clients . pledging themselves to prosecute them for petjury . and feldley. The Learned Judge, after a•minute's . consideration, assented, but said he would take bail foe their appearance. On the parties being called upon for bail, Painterappealed to Mr. Benjansin Shaw, one of the partners in Sir John Peering's . • firm ; but that gentleinan declared, that .after what- the . Court had said, he did not think that it would be proper for the Bank to oive any ball for the party. Painter and Nightingale were then handed over into the cus tody of Foy and Drinkwater, the Felice officers. [FROM THE CONTINENTAL JOURNALS.] It is stated in a letter from Berlin that the Officers belong ing to the corps of the late Prince Blucher have subscribed 11,569 dollars to defray the expence of a grand Momane:at about to be erected at Krilowitz, where his family have built the Mausoleum; in which are depoSited. the remains of the trious deceased. A neat house has been appropriated to the cus- todist, who has occupied it a twelvemonth. Trees have also been planted with great taste; and the Monument in question, which is to be prepared from a granite rock near Zobtion, and to . be 20 feet high, is expected to be completed in the Spring. The following truly extraordinary circumstance is mentioned in a letter, dated Mtinich, the 29th large Rock-Eagle (Aquila , ossifraga) darted down, from a vast height in the at mosphere, upon a child 9 months old, as it was sitting on the ground, in a garden in Turk-street. Luckily the maid servant was near : with equal courage and presence of mind, she im mediately threw a cloth over the feathered robber, which ed him, and disenabled him, fOr the moment, from rising. ii;:a then boldly threw herself upon the bird, and grappled with him most mm fully, till she got furthera4sistance, when he was set cured, and the poor child preserved.—As soon as the King heard of the extraordinary affair, he sent a handsome pre Bent to the Heroine, who did not escape without wounds from the en counter. His atmospheric majesty was conveyed, a dose pri-! sonar, to the Menagerie at Nymphenbourgh. • . In the month of August lasi a Gentleman, of Warsaw, we a • was drinking the waters at Gozdeikomo, had a pudel-dog with him which for some 'time had been ill, and in a languishicig state. On three successive days the animal drank coprouslaa as if impelled by great thirst, of the mineral water ; on the fourth day he vomited a tapeeworm 12 feet in length. The 'cater he refused to drink again ; but his former health and livelines e quickly returned. On the 19th ult. a very daring robbery was committed in the e streets at. Augsburg, upon a merchant, a stranger. , Ile wee not only robbed of all the money he had about him (200 florins). but was severely wounded besides.

They mal treated a passenger, and inflicted a severe wound in the belly of one of the poor horses, ransacking, at the same time, all the packages in the waggon. Luckily no money was being eon veyed, and only one small packet was missing.—A similar out rage, it is observed, had not taken piece in the Kingdom of Saxony for a long While. • It is stated in a letter from Vienna that Mr. Sommer, the bookseller, was lately found dead •in a sequestered part of the . town, apparently strangled.
