We have read with much interest the report lately issued by the Committee of the Association for the Discouragement of Duelling, and rejoice to see such decided proofs of the effectiveness of its labours. It is, after all, by the good sense and voluntary efforts of individuals, that the moral plague of duelling is to be abated. Something, indeed, may be done by better legislation ; for the pnpopularity (to use 3lr. BENTILAM% phraseology) of the existing punishment for duelling has doubtless contributed to foster the evil, and modes of punishment more in accordance with opinion would donbtle.ss be more efficacious. Common sense revolts at a criminal jurisprudence which makes no distinction between a murder attended with cowardly violence, and the killing of a man in a duel, where the deceased has exposed himself to the danger, and that danger has been shared by his anta gonist. Without saying, then, that nothing is to be hoped for from legislation against duelling, we repeat, that by the good sense and influence of individuals—by the example of men of high station and character—by the use of all the Inoral intluenceei which society can command,—infi nitely more is to be done than by the best possible legisla tion. And hence we view with great interest the progress of the Anti-Duelling Association. The Association was established in 1842, and has just published its second report. The number of its members is now between five and six hundred. Of these, nearly three hundred are officers of the army and navy. It contains twenty Peers, among whom are Lord WESTMINSTER, Lord BCRLINGTOIf, Lord EFFLNG/SAM, Lord GLENELO, and Lord STOURTOX. The following Members of Parliament are members of the Association, whose names we publish, as names are of use against a practice which rests upon opinion, and whose names, as we write them, will show that noble men and gentlemen of all parties are united in this good cause :- 7 the Earl of Arundel and Lord Ashley, Lord Ber nard and Lord Robert Grosvenor, Lord Ebrington and Lord Sandell, Mir Robert Inglis and Mr. Cowper, Mr. Plumptre and Mrs 'ill:Wart, Mr. Pusey and Mr. Christie, Sir Thomas Acland and Mr. Ross Mangles, Mr. Dudley Ryder and Mr. Childers' ; MeSars. Hardy, Abel Smith, Tolemache, C. Howard, M`Geachy, and Colonel Verner. All these gentlemen, in be coming members of the Association, have declared their in tention "In discountenance, by their influence and example, the practice a duelling"—in other words, they will abstain from dutis,thernselyes; and do everything in their power to induce all• within,tha reach of their influence and example to abstain also. It is impossible not to feel that, within the last two or three years, much has been done to lessen the hold of duelling,oa flea pliblic mind, and that the improved practice, and the, declared opinions of public men, have gone much further than even the most sanguine anti-duellist could have hoped, to'inake this sinful fashion unfashionable. It will be remembered, that in the year 1843, after the ainiver3aViorror caused by a duel between the husbands of two sisters, ending fatally to one of them, her MAJESTY was advised s to issue sortie new articles of war tit- the more effec tual prevention of &ICH*: in the army and navy. One of these articles subjected every nfficer challenging, or accept ing a cli'allenge, or, if Privy to the intention of fighting a duel, not taking active measures to prevent it, or upbraiding another for not fighting, , or rejecting a reasonable proposition for the honourable aditistment of a dispute, or advising its re action tel outt-mar ti aT , and, on conviction, to be cashiered, or to sufk6r, any other pnnishment which might be awarded. Another of the articles declared her MAJESTY'S " approba tion of the conduct of all these who, having had the misfor tune of giving offence to, or injured, or insulted other, shall frankly ktplain; apologise, or offer redress for the same; or who, having had the misfortune of receiving offence, injury, or insult from another, shall cordially accept frank explanation, apology,. orledress for the same; or who, if such explana tions, apology, or redress are refused to be made or accepted, shall submit the matter tObe dealt with by the commanding officer of the regiment or detachment, fort, or garrison." The report before us shows-that these new articles of war have been by no moans a dead letter. Within the last year two court-martials have been held in the navy, and severe punish ments awarded, for proceeding connected with duels. The THE SUN, LO DON, rHTTRSIMY E;VENJNG NOVEMBER 2O, 1845. report narrates an instance of arbitration between two cap tains of the navy by a court of inquiry appointed by the Admiralty. We ”..:ust refer our readers to the report itself for the particulars, having room only to quote the conclu sion :—" The court required the production of the corre spondence, and examined into all the circumstances con nected with it, and then made an award, declaring the terms in which each of the parties should apologise for the offence they had severally given to the other. In obedience to that award they each signed a paper, addressed to the President —one admitting his regret that he should have originated any statement calculated to give pain to a brother officer ; the other avowing his regret that he should have allowed the warmth of his feelings to lead him to the use of expres sions which, on more mature consideration, he perceived had exceeded the amount of provocation. The court added an assurance that the course it enjoined would leave the honour of both parties unsullied and unaspersed." It is in the army and navy that hitherto the false code of honour has found its chief bulwark; and when that bulwark is lost, as there is now every sign of its being lost, we may hope that the prac tice will die away speedily among all classes of society. "We possess a power over the Government and the people of Great Britain, which is a sort of bond and mortgage for their good behaviour—we mean the cotton market—the monopoly of the cotton market—which is now still more cer tain than ever by the possession and annexation of Texas." Such is the boastful congratulation the New York Herald addresses to its readers as the qualification which they may safely apply to any apprehensions that might otherwise be occasioned by the spirit of resistance and hostility which would be excited throughout this country by the avowal of President PoLx, at the ensuing meeting of Congress, that he meant to enforce not only the pretensions of the United States to the Oregon territory, but their determination to extort the unqualified cession of that region from the English people ! No nation has, of late years, so rapidly effaced the memory of its stern and self-sacrificing efforts to vindicate its early independence, by subsequent boasting and extravagant bragging, as the United States. Flushed with their incidental success in their past naval war with Great Britain (in which, how• ever, they were finally defeated, and but for the g..ievous folly of our Cabinet might have been extinguished as an independent power), they affect the assumption of an air of arrogant superiority over us, as if the transient triumphs which they achieved were not solely attributable to their own vastly superior strength in all the engagements of that war, wherein they were the victors, to their heavier metal, and especially the careful Amin iulretiwi or.a « r ..tpu,,,ut their navy, so vastly superior to the disgraceful condition of ours under the long incubasage of JOHN 'WILSON CRoaEis for a Secretary, and of Lord LIVERPOOL and Lord CASTLEREAGH'S Admralty lay Lords. The tone of insult and rhodomontade they have ever since adopted towards England, and the disparaging estimate they have affected to entertain of her power, might well have involved, long since, a less thoughtful or excitable race than ourselves in an indignant declaration of hostilities against them. But they have so much mistaken our strength in our forbearance, that they have thrown off the mask of hollow alliance and avowed themselves to be actuated by an incurable and malignant animosity to our grandeur, our authority, our power, and our position—the most commanding among the nations. Looking, however, to their diminished navy, the dilapidated 'condition of their ports, the vulnerable exposure of all their great harbours and commercial emporiums, the ridiculous character and complement of their military force, we really begin to think our coldly calculating brother of the West insane in rushing on his fate, by so perpetually bearding our dignity and honour. The notion here announced, that we cannot resent their affronts, because they have the monopoly of the market which supplies the raw material for our cotton manufacture, goes near to solve this mystery. But JONA THAN is somewhat over-cunning here. He is wrong in the fact, and he helps our Government to a lesson of political wisdom which he never meant to do, and which they were at all times determined not to learn, except from an enemy, or under the humiliating conviction of its compulsory adoption. Our own magnificent possessions in India require nothing but adequate encouragement in the markets of this country for their native staples to rise into the rank of nations which are the most powerful and opulent as well as the most populous of the globe. Let Britain exert every energy to aid and extend the cultivation of cotton in India, and she will not only consolidate and extend her per manent dominion in the East, over a contented, industrious, and grateful people, her colonial subjects; but she will draw from them the resources that will enable her at once, by "repudiating" (after a more honest fashion than the bank rupt States of America) very pound of cotton grown in the United States. She may import it more cheaply from India, and thus render the popular notion of the United States of their monopoly of its supply to us, and of the right which, with their usual good taste they assume on that ground, of grossly insulting us, almost as chimerical as their dreams of uni versal dominion over the whole northern half of the western world. In the meanwhile, we are content to wait the issue of events. It is clear that JoruernAlt is very ill-informed of the care which has been taken to give effect to the resentment of Britain, whenever she shall think fit to strike. Accoants from Madrid of the 12th inst. confirm the re port, which we published two days since, some insurrec tionary movements at Barcelona. Martial law had been proclaimed; and it was believed by the authorities there that General Pr m, now residing at Marseilles, had organised a plot, and was preparing to invade either Catalonia or Valencia, at the head of a body of emigrants. Two officers con nected with the War Department at Madrid had been dis patched to these quarters with instructions addressed t e-Ter-j- military ea - won against in t'T irpo l ri"p - rne'v"iiie7 negotiations with the Court of Rome had been broken off, and that the Spanish Minister was about to return to Madrid. The Funds on the 12th remained nearly stationary. The Three per Cent F. were offered at 36 7-16 %, and transactions took place a 36% 3 / 4 for time ; Five per Cents., 24 1 4 1 / 2 ; Passives, 84 for cash. According to accounts from Paris, the anxiety manifested for some time respecting the state of the crops had greatly subsided, and the Government had been actively engaged in making inquiries in every province with a view to ascertain what grounds there were for apprehension. The:Minister (f Commerce and Agriculture, to whom reports of the quantity of grain in the kingdom, its quality, the potato disease, &c., had been made on the 15th instant, issued a circular letter to the Prefects of France, containing statistical details of much interest, with instructions, at the same time, to tran quillise the apprehensions of the people respecting the supply of corn, and to give every encouragement to the free circulation of agricultural productions from one department to another. The following is an abstract from this document :—" The harvest of 1845 has been less favour able than the harvests of 1844 and 1843, but greatly superior to that of 1839. In good years between 30 and 35 depart ments have a harvest exceeding their consumption, between 25 and 30 have an adequate harvest, and between 20 and 25 an insufficient one. This year 26 departments have an excess, 28 have a sufficiency, and 32 a deficiency; the latter are principally the departments of the south, whose habitual production is the feeblest; the produce, on the contrary, has been abundant in the department of the north-east, north west, west, and basin of the Seine and centre, which, owing to the usual richness of their crops, supply the country. Buck wheat and maize, which figure for about a tenth in the ali mentary consumption, have yielded sufficient produce; and saving in a few departments, such as the Upper and Lower PyFennees, they present an excess as compared with the ordinary wants. Chestnuts have failed in the two or three departments where that resource is of some importance, As for potatoes, the crops have sustained some damage In con sequence of the disease which has affected that tubercle ; in thirty-six departments the supply .is inferior to that Of ordinary years; in thirty-nine it is adequate, and in eleven superior; but this damage has been greatly exaggerated; and the reports that daily reach me notably diminish the first reckonings ; moreover, it is remarkable that the departments of the north and north-west, where pota toes have most suffered, are precisely those where the produce of grain has been most abundant, whilst that tubercle has been but slightly injured in the department of the south and south-west, where the crops of grain have been the feeblest. In short, if altogether the harvest of 1845 has been inferior to that of an ordinary year, it is undeniably adequate to all wants, and its results present nothing that can alarm the people. Besides, at the moment of the harvest of 1845, there remained from the preceding year a considerable excess. In ordinary times we may reckon at 100,000,000 hectolitres (hectolitre equal to 24 imperial bushels) the quantity of grain (wheat, and mixed wheat and rye) necessary for the food of the inhabitants, and at 20,000,000 the quantity employed as food for animals, sowing, and the various industrial uses ; the harvest of 1843 had bequeathed to that of 1844 an' excess reckoned at. 5,000,000 hectolitres of the above three principal cereales ; the year 1844, whose produce in wheat alone exceeded 82,000,000 hectolitres, has raised this excess to above 15,000,000, which represent nearly two months of the country's consumption; the remainder in barley maize, and buck wheat, did not fall short of 5,000,000 hectolitres." The report then proceeds to state that the entrepSts for grain, especially on the Mediterranean, are well stored, and that the present prices, either of wheat or foreign grain, do not justify any fears. Advices from 'Hol land d Belgium were satisfactory as regards corn ; the crops in Germany were deficient, but in Italy and Spain the produce had been abundant. The amount of grain in the entrepUts of the north, nearest to England, namely, Dantzic, llamburgh, Rotterdam, and Amsterdam, contained, from the 18th of October to the 10th of November, 2,052,310 hecto. litres. Of course the Government try to make the best of their case, and some of their conclusions therefore ought to be received with caution. The Journal des Debuts has anothEr article on Lord ABER DEEN'S dispatch relative to the payment of the Greek debt, and though on the whole complimentary to his Lordship, the writer seems to entertain a suspicion that the foreign Minister is actuated by a spirit of hostility to Corxrrt, because he is supposed to be the opponent of British policy in Greece. " The English Government," it is admitted, " has right on its side, and there can be no doubt that the Government of Greece will give way to the desire of the Earl of ABERDEEN, and present, if necessary, a Bill for the application of the excess of the revenue. It is to be desired, however, in the interest even of the Powers who have guaranteed the loan, that none of them should be too .-gid under existing circum stances. They should take cars not to realise tha fable.9l the Goose with the Golden Eggs. Should the three Powers claim every year from Greece the still feeble excess of her revenue, they would only succeed in obtaining a small por tion of her annual debt ; they ,could rep - ,,,ularly impoverish the country, and render it more and more incapable of discharg ing its debts." In reference to this subject, a letter from Athens of the 2d instant, in the Augsbutgh Gazette, says : " In answer to the note from the English Cabinet, the Govern. ment has declared it to be impossible this year to effect the pay ments demanded. The Coletti Ministry has met with two Parlia. mentary checks. The First Chamber has rejected the Bill for. bidding the carrying of arms, and the Second Chamber has an. nulled the election of M. Calavrita, which was favourable to the Ministry. The Opposition are already handing about lists of the new Ministry." The following are additional extracts from the papers:— " It is reported that the Ministry has decided on convoking the Chambers for the 27th of December. " The marriage of the sister of the Duke de Bordeaux to the hereditary Prince of Lucca was performed on the 10th at Frohs dorff, at eleven in the morning. At an early hour numerous bodies of the people carrying banners filled the avenues of the castle. At ten salvos of artillery and military bands announced the arrival of the Duke of Lucca and the bridegroom. They were immediately followed by the Empress and Empress- Mother of Austria, avid all the Archdukes and Archduchesses at Vienna, attended by their Court. Magnificent presents were offered to the bride by the Duke and Duchess and Prince of Lucca, the Duchesses d'Angouleme and de Berry, the Duke de Bordeaux, and the Empress of Austria, who is the aunt of the bridegroom, and much attached to him, and who, on this occasion, represented the mother of the bridegroom, who was unable to be present, on account of indisposition. the Duke de Bordeaux led his sister to the altar. The nuptial benediction was given by the Archbishop of Vienna, who was surrounded by a numerous body of the clergy. Atter the wedding feast, the newly.married couple, accompanied by the Duke of Lucca, set off for the Castle of Urchensdorff, which is about an hour-and-a-half 's drive from Frohsdorff. " The King of Sardinia has just promoted to the rank of Colonel the Infanta Don Juan, second son of Don Carlos."

It is expected that a proclamation will be issued this evening, summoning Parliament to meet for the dispatch of public business. THE LORD CHANCELLOR.—The accounts of his Lordship's health received in town this morning, from Turville Park, are favourable.

There is a considerable increase since the previous week under two heads—diseases,of the lungs and other organs of respiration, and endemic and contagious diseases. The deaths from bronchitis were 45, average for live autums 19; pneumonia 113, average 110 ; and consumption 115, average 139. Measles still continue very fatal, the deaths for the last week amounting to 88, while the average is only 31. The deaths from hooptng•cough are also considerably above the average. Violent deaths 22, of which 10 were from fractures and con• tusions, 4 from hanging and suffocation, 3 from barns and scal&, and the rest from wounds and drowning. Of these 4 Iv, ra suicides, three of them women. THAMES EMBANKMENT AND RAILWAY JUNCTION COM l' AN Y. —We are rejoiced to find that at length the subject of the embankment of the Thames is about to be taken up in lion f o f which tntßm lrmx... 0n,.....1- .7 7 1:2.:43.. -..".....-Talll r... ~ v Fv0t.....1 I, C IDan k the north shore of the river on the plan proposed by the Royal Commissioners, and to connect with such an embankment an atmospheric railway viaduct, of ornamental construction, which is to be continued eastward of Blackfriars-bridge to the terminus of the Blackwall Railway, Fenchurch-street ; and also across the river by a railway-bridge, or by one of the existing bridges, to join the Greenwich, Croydon, Dover and Brighton Railways. Not only will this plan, if carried into effect' conduce greatly to the adornment of the metropolis, and the health and comfort of the community, but in a commercial point of view it will confer an immense benefit on every man who, residing west of Temple-bar, has business to transact in the City. Who has not felt the an• novance of being blocked up by the crowded state of the 1 thoroughfare in Fleet-street or Cheapside, at a time, per haps, when five minutes were of incalculable importance -1 when loss of time was, in the strictest meaning of the word, loss of money? This is an evil which has hitherto been patiently endured, because it was believed to be irremediable, but by means of the pro posed railway a safe and easy communication will be opened by which in five minutes any business part of the City may be reached from the 'West-end, and by thus diverting a por tion of the passenger traffic from Fleet-street and Cheapside, those thoroughfares will be left more free than heretofore, and the annoying " blockings up" will be of less frequent occur rence. The Earl of Lincoln, who, as Chief of the Royal Com missioners, has been addressed on the subject, appears favour ably inclined to the project, and promises to obtain a meeting of the Commissioners early in the ensuing year, and - to make the construction of the projected railway the first matter fur consideration. His Lordship further assures the Company that, in his opinion, the proceedings of the Commissioners will be closed in ample time for any necessary proceedings in Parliament. The Com pany have also secured the co-operation and support of the Central Terminus Company and of the Great Western and Brentford Company. They have, therefore, determined to apply to Parliament during the ensuing session, and with every prospect of success, as it is underst od that no compet ing line will be presented to Parliament during the next session.

The wool market is also inactive, but former prices hayebeen fully maintaiusd.—Afanch ester Guardian. itOLLS' COURT.-(TIIIS I) ~ • Several unopposed petitions, praying that money in Court to the credit of certain causes should be paid to the petitioners, were heard. FORDYCE V. SIR 11. BEYDGES, Mr. KLXDERSLEY applied for an erder, to the effect that an affidavit of a bill of service having been filed in the Court, should be taken as an actual service. It appeared that the matter had refarence to a Scotch entail, Lira there were no less than 150 witnesses. Leave was granted to mention the case on Tuesday next. LANGLEY V. FISHER. This was a cause in which the plaintiff sought to set aside a fine, which he alleged had been unjustly imposed on pro perty to which he was entitled. Mr. MALINS (in the absence 'of the senior counsel, Mr. Finney) stated the case. It appeared that Mr. Benjamin Langley, the plaintiff, claimed as heir-at-law, to certain estates in Somersetshire, as heir-at. law to Susan Langley, daughter of Robert Langley. On the marriage of Mr. Robert Langley these estates were settled on the child or children that might result from that marriage, and Susan Langley, who was admitted to have been the only child, died in 1788. By the law at the time, the father could not be heir-at-law to his child, but his brother became the heir, .when, at his decease, as in this case, the niece was at an age that she could have no offspring. Mr. Benjamin Langley was the uncle of the deceased infant, Susan Langlex, and died in 1815, leaving an only child, the present plaintiff. Mary Langley, the plaintiff's mother, died in 1820, and the only knowledge of his claims which plaintiff possessed was de rived from the information of his father, who frequently told him that, at the death of his (plaintiff's) uncle, he (the father) would become entitled to the property in question. Plaintiff at that time was resident at the Cape of Good Hope, and had been so for many years, but in September, 1821, he returned to this country for the purpose of aserting his title to the property. He had at that time a brother carrying on business in England, to whom he committed the transaction of his affairs, from a conviction that he was more conversant with such matters; and that gentleman accordingly made inquiries as to his right to this estate. It appears that the uncle of the plaintiff had devised by will all his real pro perty to three trustees, of whom a Mr. Grenville Prideaux was one, and to this gentleman Mr. Robert Langley, the brother of the plaintiff, applied for the necessary information. Mr. Prideaux was solicitor to defendant, and at that ti me Carried on businesss at Bristol. in partnership with a Mr. Bush, where Mr. Robert Langley had an interview with him, and where he was assured by him that the plaintiff had no right to the estate. Relying on this information the plaintiff did not prosecute his claim. The statement made by Mr. Pri deaux was to the effect that by the deed of settlement of 1784 this property was so arranged as to give the wife of plaintiff's uncle a testamentary power over it in the event of there being no issue, and that she had devised the same to George Dyke Fisher, who was one of the trustees under the deed of settlement, and to whose eldest daughter Mr. Prideaux was married. Now it was a fact that this will had been made by Mrs. Langley; but the planititx contends that under the deed in question she had no such power, and that Mr. Fisher, who was her brother, had no claim whatever to the estate, inas much as the property was vested in her child, who died. The plaintiff at length employed two respectable solicitors, be tween whom and Mr. Prideaux a correspondence (which the Learned Counsel here read) ensued, and which ending in their being only able to get an imperfect abstract of the deed of 1784. from which no information coact be ascertained. _ _ Mr. TINNEY here entered the Court and proceeded with the case, recapitulating sew* of the facts already detailed. It also appeared that a fine had been levied on the estate for the purpose of preventing the plaintiff obtaining possession ; under these circumstances he conceived that the Court would have no hesitation in acceding to the application of his client. The case occupied the remainder of the. day. VICE-CHANCERY•-(THIS DAY. (Before the VICI, CHANCELLOR of ENGLAND.) wniTEHEAD V. BENNETT. The arguments in this case, which came before the Court the other day upon motion for a receiver of certain estates in the neighbourhood of Manchester, were resumed and concluded to-day. His HONOUR, without calling upon Mr. James Parker to reply, gave judgment, referring it to the Master in the terms of the notice of motion to approve of a proper person to be the receiver of the estates in question. In making this order, his Honour wished it to be understood that he did not intend to insinuate that the defendant Mr. Bennett had acted wrong wilfully, but his Honour felt bound to state that Mr. Bennett seemed to have greatly misunder stood the duties he was bound to perform in the management of the estates. It had been said in his behalf, that he had improved part of the property by turning a farm into a race-course. His Honour was at a loss to con ceive of what benefit that could be, except to enable the de fendant, or any other person, to ruin them more easily. The COURT then ordered it to be referred to the Master to appoint a receiver. His Honour then proceeded to hear motions. (Before Vice-Chancellor KIiIGHT BRUCE.) EXPARTE HUTCHINSON. This case came on for further hearing and judgment. The petitioner, William Hutchinson, brother and clerk to the bankrupt, had had his claim for wages disallowed by Commis sioner Goulburn, and a further claim to prove on the bank rupt estate for a sum under 201. ; implying a belief on the part of the assignees that there had been something ap proaching to fraud and collusion between the two brothers. His Howoun, in giving judgment, said the case was not in any substantial sense an appeal from the judgment of Ser geant Goulburn ; the case had been conducted in a mode, mad on evidence, different from that before Mr. Goulburn, so that his conclusion would, on the same materials, possibly have been that of his Honour. Amidst much conflict one thinewas clear, that during the year 1844, and up to the ear ly / rut of July, 1845, William acted for the bankrupt, his brother Robert, as his assistant ; oc casionally as ilerk, occasionally as traveller. Obscure doubt on the part of the assignees could not affect the evidence which estaOshed this connexion of master and servant between the brothers before the bankruptcy. The point did not arise whether the Connexion existed at the time of the bankruptcy. If such connexion existed before, there is a prima facie title to three months' salary, not ex ceeding 301. His Honour did not think this claim to salary had been displaced, and made order for payment of the same. But the reasons which had prevailed with him to make this order led him to disallow the other claim to prove on the estate for 2001. His Honour would be understood as ex pressing no opinion on the character of the petititioner or his brother; if he had, it would rather be in favour, for he ate 41..4 ..60111111/ weal. The petitioner's costs were allowed out of the bankrupt's estate. Pilbrow Atmospheric ... 1 Portsmouth Dii•ect ...... 3 3 A 4 14 Preston and Wyre Do.

QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY . The Court was occupied for a considerable portion of the day in hearing an application in reference to the validity of a lease, and the arguments of counsel as to which of two leases was the valid one, or whether the last-made lease was to be held to be the governing lease. BAIL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banco, before Mr. Justice PATITSON.) The ArronNztv-GENERAL moved for a rule to show cause why Mr. Billing, an attorney of this Court, should not an swer an affidavit. In April last Mr. Billing brought two actions against a Mr. Mackenzie, who not receiving the usual notice of declaration searched the office and found a notice of declaration filed upon an affidavit of service by one John Smith, stated to reside in the Bethnal-green-road. Mr. Mackenzie at once instituted inquiries, and found that no person named John Smith re sided at the address mentioned in the affidavit, and no person of that name had resided there for many months previous. An application was made by Mr. Mackenzie to stay all fur ther proceedings, but in consequence of some delay on his part it was dismissed with costs. Another action against the same party had since been entered by Mr. Billing, who again filed an affidavit of service by the same John Smith. An application was made to Mr. Justice Wightman, who ordered all proceedings to be stayed on the ground of irregularity, and Mr. Billing had to pay the costs. On the first application to stay the proceedings Mr. Billing produced a sheriff's officer, who swore that he saw John Smith serve the notice of declaration, but Mr. Justice Wightman did not seem to put implicit reliance on that statement. Mr. Justice PAITESON said that the affidavit of service might have been made by a person bearing the name of John Smith, although he might not live at the place described. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said that that doubt constituted their only difficulty, as in the event of the affidavit not being made by John Smith it would be an indictable offence.—Rule gr.anted. THE QUEEN V. ••••-•••-•,--. My. WORDSWORTH moved for a rule to show cause w hy a certain attorney should not be struck off the rolls, or why he should not answer a certain affidavit. The Learned Gentleman stated, that the proceedings in this case arose from an action on two bills of exchange for 1501. each, in the case of Wood v. the Earl of Portarlington, which was tried in the county of Sussex, before Mr. Justice Coleridge. A verdict was given in favour of the plaintiff, for 8701. The present case arising from it was one of a flagrant nature, such as seldom came before the Court, being an offer of a bribe of 10/. from an attorney to a witness to swear to that which he knew to be untrue. The facts on which this application were founded were briefly these :—ln the action he had before•mentioned the two first counts in the defendant's declaration pleadedthat he did not accept the bills, and the other set forth that - the money was given to play at unlawful games, and that the bills were given to secure the payment of money lost by defendant to plaintiff at unlawful games and by gambling. The cause was fixed for' trial on the 29th of July, but did not come on until the fol. lowing Wednesday, and at the conclusion of each day Mr. Richards, the attorney for the plaintiff, and a witness named Wallace, went to Brighton, and put up at an hotel called the White House. Mr. --, the attorney for the defendant, asked permission to join them there, which was allowed. One morning they all breakfasted together, and Mr. Richards went up stairs, leaving Mr. --- and Wallace in the coffee room. What took place there would be best learned from the affidavit subsequently made by Mr. Wallace. The Learned Counsel then read the affidavit, from which it ap peared that, on Mr. Richards leaving the coffee-room, Mr. - banded a paper under the table to Wallace, which paper purported to be a proof of his evidence to be given on the trial, and told him at the same time to read it when he should be unobserved. Mr. Richards came into the room at that time, and they all started in a carriage for Lewes, where the cause was tried. On their arrival at the Court-house, Mr Richards got out, and Mr. - then said to Mr. Wallace that be had better read the paper, and he would engage Mr. Richard's attention while he did so. Wallace then read the paper, which stated that he would prove that when the bills became due Mr. Wood had called upon Messrs. Pine and Richards, the defendant's solicitors, to whom he (Wallace) was clerk, and had threatened to institute proceedings against the defendant, and that he, as clerk to Pine and Riehards„informed him that the defendant had instructed them that the hills were for a gambling debt, and that if he was pressed for payment he would plead that fact on the trial. He was further to state, that the plaintiff at once ad mitted that fact, and did not press for payment for some time afterwards. At the bottom of this paper was written in pen c il 5, Q. Si.," thereby intimating that such a sum would be given for swearing to the document. Mr. Wallace expressed his astonishment that Mr. - should wish him to swear to that which he knew to be untrue, and Mr. - increased his offer to 101., stating that money was no object if that statement could be sworn to. On Wallace's refusing. he begged that he would not tell any person of what had occurred. Mr. Justice PArrEsoN—Such an offence would amount to a misdemeanour. _ Mr:WOEESWORTIT said that it would do so no doubt, but it did not follow that, because it was an indictable offence, that application should not be made to the Court of Queen's Bench. That impression once existed, but it had been clearly decided by a Learned Judge that in such a case an application to the Court of Queen's Bench could be made. The remainder of the affidavit was then read, and it ap peared that the attorney for Mr. Wood (Mr. Richards) had been instructed to make the present application. and had in formed Mr. of his instruction, and Mr. had requested that it shnuld be referred to some gentleman at the bar, but that was declined by Mr. Wood. The Learned JUDGE then grant a rule to show cause why the affidavit should not bo answered. -----"••••--"--".-----"---epail • - ERRATITM.-111 our report of the proceedings I. ,-; war' Court yesterday, read "; Sv moods v.
