The LORD CHANCELLOR observed, that he had consulted with the Vice . Chancellor relative to the Assignees in this Commission of Bank ruptcy having acted as Accountant, and as such having. made a charge against the Bankrupt's estate. He was led to understand it was a usual custom not only at Liverpool, but in London. It was a practice, however, that he much doubted whether it ought to be tolerated by the Court, as there was danger to be apprehended from it. Where an Accountant was employed by the - joint Assignees they saw that he did his duty, but where one of the Assignees was the Accountant his Co-Assignee was kept in the dark. His Ho nour the Vice-Chancellor had promised to take the subject into his consideration and communi cate the result of his deliberation to him (the Lord Chancellor,) and when he had done so, his Lord ship would dispose of the petition. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, MAY 1. PATENT CHAIN CABLES. BRUNTON V. HAWK,E. This was an action against the defendant for invading a Patent obtained by the plaintiff for making chain mooring cables, and an improved method of making ships' anchors. At the Sittings in Westminster, after last Trinity Term, before the Lord Chief Justice and a Special Jury, the plaintiff had a verdict. In Michaelmas Term a rule Nisi was granted for setting aside the verdict and obtaining a new trial. Cause was shtwn against the rule last week, when the Court, after much discussion, seemed to be of opinion that the plaintiff was entitled to the merit of inventing the chain cable ; but that, as to the anchor, it was a matter of doubt. The case, however, was or dered to stand over for further argument, this day, upon two questions :-1. Whether the Pa tent was good as to the anchor as well as to the chain cable ; and if not-2. Whether the Patent being bad as to part of the consideration, it was bad in foto? Mr. SCARLET; Mr. MARRYAT, Mr. GURNEY, and Mr. CHITTY', were heard at considerable length on both points. Mr. GASELEE (with whom were the SOLICI TOR GENERAL, Mr. F. POLLOCK, and Mr. H. I. STE PHEN) was stopped by. The COURT, who were clearly of opinion, that the Patent being - bad as to the anchor, it was bad as to all—for the consideration on which the Patent was granted having failed in part, it vi tiated the whole. Their Lordships came to this conclusion, upon the authority of the case of Hill v. Thompson in the Court of Common Pleas, but expressed extreme reluctance to coming to such a decision. It would be open, however, to the plaintiff, to take the opinion of a Court of Error upon the subject, by having a special verdict up on a new trial, should it be thought advisable upon consideration to do so. Rule absolute for a new trial. On Monday afternoon, as a funeral was pro ceeding along the Strand, the horses in a .hackney coach, on the stand oppdsite the Adelphi, took fright at the plume of feathers, and ran furiously down Salisbury-street, when, suddenly plunging against the railing at the bottom, the animals were precipitated to a depth of nearly 40 feet into a timber-yard newt the river. 1 - lad it not been for the splinter-bar's breaking at the mo ment, the coach must have been dragged along with them, and dashed to atoms. The horses were so seriously injured, that an order was given yesterday to kill them. PARLI AMENT, HOUSE OF LORDS, MAY 1. Mr. TnINDLE, from the Office of Chief Secre tary of State for Ireland,, 'presented a Report of the Commfssioners appointed to inquire into the Fees of Officers in Courts of Justice in Ireland. Laid on the table.—Mr. FORSTER, from the Trustees of. the Liverpool Docks, presented an Account of the Receipts and Disbursements of the Port of Liverpool, from the 24th December, >lBl9, to the 24th December, 1820. Laid on the .table.—Sir JAMES GitAIIAM, and other Members, brought up from the Commons the Belfast Com mercial Suitors' Bill, the Irish Law,Courts Dis patch of Business Bill, the Irish 'Lunatic Asylum Bill, the Irish Private Stealing.lit Shops Repeal Bill, .the Irish Sessions of the -Peace Bill, and the Timber Duties Bill ; beside sever) Private Bills. ,All these Bills went throw 41 a firs. readirig. BANK CASH PAYMENTS •BILL. The Earl of LIVERPOOL said, that their Lord ships must be aware that the Bank Cash Pay ments Bill had passed through all its stages, with the exception of the third reading, before the Holidays. The third reading had been, post poned in consequence of a Noble Lord being de sirous not to oppose the Bill, but to express his sentiments upon it. As that Noble Lord was not at present in his place, he (the Earl of Li verpool) would only move that the Bill be read a third time to-morrow; and should the Noble Lord then not be able to attend, he should postpone the third reading until Friday next. The African. Company Bill went through a Committee, and the Report was received. NEWFOUNDLAND. Lord HOLLAND had *two Petitions to present, worthy of the attention of the House and of his Majesty's' Government. He'' regretted that he should have to present therm' in the absence of the Noble Earl at the head of the Colonial De partment; but did so lest he should not find for some time another opportunity. The first was signed by 200 respectable inhabitants of St. John's, in the Colony of Newfoundland. The other was from a district in the same island, and both com plained of the manner in which the laws were administered, and prayed the house to adopt some measure to regulate the Government of that Colony, and to place it on the same footing as other British Colonies. 'He (Lord Holland) had no doubt that if justice had really been admin istered, as it was stated in the Petition, and as it appeared to have been from the concurrent de clarations of the Chief Justice and Jury of New foundland, his Majesty's Government would think it their duty to propose some measure upon the subject. If they did not do it (the Noble Lord was understood to say) he would himself undertake the task, if the Session had not reached so adv,anced' _ , After a few words from the Earl of LIVERPOOL and Earl DARNLEY, the first Petition was read and laid on the table, and .the second withdrawn on account of some informality.—Adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS, TUESDAY, MAY 1. Mr. W. SMITH presented a petition from the Fishmongers' Company of the city of London, against the 13i1 . 1 for repealing the 27th of Ch ar l e s 11., which directs that an open space shall be kept on the north bank of the ThAmes, from the Temple to London Ilridge.—Referred to. the Committee on the said gill. The Westminster Irtiproverrielit 'Bill, went through a Committee. The Report was received and the Bill ordered . to be read a third time to morrow. • Sir J. GRAIIKM presented a petition from the Overseers and Churchwardens of the Parish of St. Mary-le-bone, in favour of the Bill for the better execution of the office of Justice of the Peace near the metropolis. The petitioners called the attention of the House to the custom of hawking articles through the streets, accom panied by the sounding of horns at all hours of the night, which they complained of as a great nuisance.---Laid on the. table. Sir J. SFaatotrr presented a petition , from the Inhabitants of Royston, praying *fOr an amelio ration-of the Criminal Law.—Laid on the table. HusxissoN brought in a Bill for improv ing the'Land Revenues of the' Crown, and for the better reg.ilation thereof.—Read a first, and to be read a second time on Friday,. Mr. S. Rica presented "k petition from the Chamber of Commerce of Limerick, which, after adverting to the state of Commerce in Ireland, and pointing out the necessity of the Commercial interest being 'represented in that house by per sons conversant with the subject,' complained, as was understood, of some proceedings which took place at the late election; The petition was ordered to be taken into consideration on Tues day the 15th inst. The Report of 'the Irish Tithe-leasing Bill was agreed to.—To be read a third time on Fri day next. A UDIT-OFFICE. Mr. BENNET moved for a copy of the Trea sury Minutes of the 29th of May, 1807 ; the Ist of February, 1811; and the 3d of April, 1812 ; respecting the Audit-office.—Ordered. • _ _ 1 he Iron. Memberalso moved for an abstract of the Net Annual Revenue and Expenditure of the Colonies of Ceylon, Mauritius, Nalta, the lonian Islands, and Tobago, together with an abstract of the total Revenue of those Colonies, up to the latest period.—Ordered. IRISH COURT OF EXCHEQUER. Sir H. PARNELL'ITIOVed for a statement or ge neral. description of the business of The office of Auditor of his Majesty's Court of Exchequer in Ireland, with respect to the receiving and issuing of money, and the mode and language in ►vhich the accounts are drawn up.—Ordered. The Ho,nourable Baronet also moved for a si milar statement, with respect to the other offices of the Court of Exchequer in Ireland.—Ordered. ARMY ESTIMATES. Colonel DAVlES.—Seeing the Right lion. Gent. at length in his place, I wish to know from him whether it is the intention of his Majesty's Minis ters to proceed with the report of the Committee of Supply this evening ? It is now half past five o'clock, and for the last half hour we have bad no business before us. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER answered that MinisterS certainly meant to proceed with the. report. The usual hour for beginning pub- Liz business was five o'clock, and it was not now much beyondthat. He, however, had no objec tion to commence with the public business at half vast four. The 'Right Hon. Gentleman then moved, " that the report of the Conimittee of Supply be now brought up." It was then brought up, and some of the items were agreed to without any observation.—On the resolution for granting 105,9431. ss. 10d. for the pay of the' general staff in Great Britain being read, Mr. 11. G. BENNET said, that in the absence of the Noble Secretary at War (Lord Palmer, stony, it was not his intention to take up the time of the 'House by any observations on the various items at present. He, however, took this oppor tunity of stating that it was the intention of an Non. Friend of his (Mr. Hume) to submit to the House, as soon as the whole of the estimates for the army, the navy, and the ordnance, had been reported, a series of resolutions on the whole of our military expenditure. This, he (Mr. Bennet) thought, would be a better mode than that of going now into the details of each item ; for, from the scanty attendance of the House, it ap peared as if the House had become tired of the ,Estimates. When the whole should have been gone through, the motion of his Hon. Friend would embrace a comprehensive view of the en tire of our military'expenditure as compared with former. years. The House had now been occu-. pied with those estimates for seventeen days, and notwithstanding all the efforts that had been made on. teat (the oppoSition) side, a reduction. of a single siditing - had not taken - place. They had passed greatarid Small Estimates just as they had been pro'posed by Ministers, without the slightest deduction. Indeed, upon the amount . they seemed to have been wholly indifferent. He was satisfied,, however,. that though the Honse. was not ashamed of granting such immense sums,; his Majesty'S Ministers were not now indifferent' to them, and that we should never again, in time of peaCe; see such Estimates. The CHANCELLOR Of the EXCHEQUER said that the Estimates had been brought - in on a scale' suitable to the circumstances of the country, and the "louse had agreed to them with Ont a single deduction ; and having the approbation or the House in favour of those Estimates, it was not the opinion -of the Hon. Member (Mr.":'Bennet) which should induce Ministers to change them. Any change that might'hereafter be made would be such as suited the circumstances of the case; for it should be recollected that die estimates were not a fixed arid' permanent expenditure, but varied with 'circumstances. Whenever the reso lutions of which the Hon. Member had, spoken should come to be discussed, Ministers w - ould be ready.to meet them ; but in the meantime he must protest against the assertion that Ministers ought to be ashamed of what they had done, considering that all the Estimates they had brought forward had met the approbation of the 'House. Colonel DAVIES said that when the half pay should come to be re-considered he should op pose it. As to the approbation of the House, which the Right lion. Gentleman had boasted of, he thought it was but saying little in favour of the Estimates ; for be felt satisfied that if Mi nisters had proposed a thousand pounds for every hundred that had already been agreed to, the House would not have opposed it. Mr. R. MARTIN rose to order. lie said he did not consider it fair to impute to the whole House what he was sure the Hon. and Gallant Officer would not have imputed to any man below that bar—that he would vote for 1,0001. instead of 1001., if Ministers had proposed it. lid hoped the Gallant Officer would have the decorum not to persist in such a charge. The SPEAKER said that he had paid attention to what had fallen from -the Hon. Member (Col. Davies), and he did not consider that it was at all out of order. If the lion. Member had mad a charge upon any other Member calculated to produce an unfavourable impression, then it would be disorderly ; but he conceived it by no means out of order to state that a majority, or any portion of the Members of that House, would take a different view of any subject from that which he (Col. Davies) had taken. Colonel DAVIES said that the Speaker had certainly put the true construction upon his words. What he meant was, that such was the blind confidence of the majority of that House in Ministers, that they would have voted 1,0001. for eyery 1001. ,that had been granted, if Go vernment bad thought proper to propose it. As to the observation of the Hon. Member (Mr. Martin), that he . (Colonel Davies) would not state to a Member below the bar what he had said of a majority of that House, he ,would tell him that he was not ashamed to avow below the bar, or any where else, whatever he said in his place.—Mr. MARTIN explained. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER had un derstood the Gallant Officer differently from. the Member for Galway he conceived, that by saying Members would have.. Voted 1,0001. in stead of MU, he only paid'a high comgliment to the Ministers of the country. Mr. SCAttLETT, was not surprised at the Right Hon. Gentleman's considering it as a high torn pliment, because., be must be aware that the House had had long experience of them; and the confidence of Members was shewn in a- still higher degree by the thin houses- in which those, -vast sums had• been voted. It might be a ques tion, however, whether many-of those Members would not have done the same for any Ministiy.: The Resolution was then agreed to.—On pro posing the Resolution for granting the sum of 122,3241. for the pay of General Officers not having reffiments Sir - ILTEnoussoN said he had before .ciir& plaiyed of the treatment of many.General.Offi cers without regiments. lie did not !maw that every General Officer should be allowed 'the same as formerly ; but what he rose to state w-as; that a great many. of them who were old: ntid meritorious officers, were left with only_ the '-half pay of LieutenantXolonels, and some of them with the half-pay of Majors, after a constant•ser vice of from SO to 40 years. He had a letter from one of them in his possession, in which he stated that after a constant service of 41 years-4-:- a great part of which was- spent in a N . varin mate, by which his constitution was considerably . injrved—he was now. at the age of 60 years, left with his family to depend on his half-pa:y. as a Major, though he had been created a Major- General. Ile did not wish to disturb the settled rules of. the service .with respect to the paY. of those General Officers ; but surely some excep tion might be made for such meritorious officers as he had described. When he saw clerks who had only served a few years , so well provided for, he thought it would be - but justice to consi der the greater claims of that highly respectable body.of men whom he had mentioned. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY said that,- in the absence of his Noble Friend at the head of the War department,• he was unable to give au explanation on this subject that would be satis factory to the House. The resolution was then agreed to. question for re-considering the half pay, Colonel.Divies said that, in his opinion,. the great body •of the officers on half pay had beeli very ill treated, and the country had not• been justly dealt with in having so many. new corn. missions given while so large a body of men re mained on the half-pay list. The total number ofretired officers of all ranks, exclusive of general officers and.those who had retired on full pay, was 8,616 ; the half pay of which cost the country the sum of 765,7811. I t .night be expected that a considerable portion of this number should bti• promoted to full -pay when vacancies occurred ; but the total number of appointments in 4 years and a half, fropi half pay, had been only 411. Of those officers on half pay, there 'were 1,421 Cornets and 'Ensigns. Now in the time -which he spoke of, there had been 508 appointments, as Cornets and %Ensigns ; and of these only .5'2 had taken place : the others were made from cadets and from civil life. In this he considered there was great injustice done to the individuals on half pay and to the public, by having such a number chargeable on the half pay list, whose half pay might he saved if they got promotion to full pay. The Hon.. Member then went into a, series of calculations to shew, that if half those appointments he mentioned had been made from the half pay, a saving of 206,3531. might be . made to the public, taking their lives at 12 y e a r s' pur. chase. It might be said, perhaps, that this-was arguing as if all those officers were to remain on half pay all their lives; but hewould say,such calculation was fair with respect to most of them ; and if ally' occasion should occur when the services of all of them would be required, they would not have to thank the present regulations for-it. He did not mean to say that all commissions should be filled up from the half-pay, but that a fair pro. portion of those officers should be selected for promotion. On this subject he would take an early opportunity of submitting a resolution to the House. The resolution which he would pro pose was oue- which had been carried nem. con: in that House in the year 1740. It was, that an - humble Address, be presented to his Majesty, praying that he would be graciously pleased, for the present and future ease of his Majesty and the public, to employ in his army such officers on the half-pay list as were still qualified to. serve. If such a resolution were considered ne cessary in 1740, it would be found much more so in the present time. Lord PALMERSTON said that it was the inten- ' tion of his Royal highness the Commander in. Chief to fill up vacancies from the half-pay, and to satisfy the cravings of the officers on that list; as far as could be done without prejudice to the service. The Noble Lord then went on to show, that the number appointed from the half-pay was greater than the Hon. Member seemed to be aware of. He added, that it would be injurious to till up appointments from the half-pay only, • for that mould close up the army, and shut out persons in civil life, the, leaving the army open to which was necessary to connect the in" terests of the army with the property of the' country. Any one who had viewed the transac tions of Europe for the last 12 months would see how necessary that was. On the Mr. HUME contended that a very considerable' Sa ins might be made if a fair proportion of half pay officers were appointed to the full pay. 1 - 144 such a proportion been followed, the present, an- . Dual amount of the half pay might be lessened tto
