THE LONDON JOURNALS. D.:11.Y EXTRACTS_ FRO.M THE I%IORN , ING PAPERS, January 25, 1822. [MORNING CHRONICLE.] The fate which awaits the proposed laws re lative to the Press in France, is of course a mat ter of conjecture; the laws themselves can afford room for but one opinion. Ultras and Liberals equally know that their end and object is to place the Press in a state of complete dependence on the party for the time in the possession of power. If there were any persons in this country in doubt with respect to the intentions of the Bridge street Gang, these laws must succeed in unde ceiving them. They emanate from that party in Fl-ance, with whom the Bridge-street Gang are closely leagued ; the organ of the one is the organ of the other ; and the same arguments which were urged in support of that most odious and inquisi torial Association, are now urged in support of those who have had the assurance to propcse the annihilation of every vestige of the liberty of The press among our neighbours. Our Mi nisters boast in their late Manifesto, " The State of the Nation," that they subdued by Six Ads•the refractory part of the Press, " by exciting tlw salutary apprehension of the sedi tious and turbulent ;" that " the greater portion of the blasphemous and seditious publications has nearly disappeared ;" that " if some still continue to insult the morals and good sense of the people, the resort to Juries is become safe and certain ;" that " the most perilous and malignant of these Libellers has become a commentator on Swedish Turnips and Leghorn Bonnets." The Govern ment of the United States has a far nobler sub ject of boast, that it requires no coercive mea sures to secure it from sedition or blasphemy ; and .that whether in prosperity or in adversity, the enemies to good government and religion are always more than matched by their friends. In truth, a Government of which the interests are identified with those of the people, can never have any thing to dread from a free Press. Those only whose conduct will not bear scrutiny, have reason to dread it. [NEW TIMES.] The Stock Exchange continued as dull through the whole of yesterday as it had done for some days preceding, and Consols for Account left off at 76. It may perhaps be thought that. the French and Spanish troops contributed to depress 'the Funds; but we do not attribute much effect to these causes. It is true, that the Private Correspondence. from Madrid states, that the Jacobins are not yet satisfied, though'the King, to please them, has dismissed ,the only Mi nisters he could have the least reliance on. But -who ever thought the Jacobins would be sa tisfied ? Were the Jacobins in France satisfied even with bringing Louis the Sixteenth to the guillotine ? No : neither will the Jacobins of Madrid be satisfied with the blood of Ferdinand, whose death they have long since decreed in their secret cabals. That gloomy scene will only be the opening of a more dreadful tra gedy. Such are the natural and necessary effects which we long ago predicted from a military revolt, and a democratic Constitution. The plot at Belfort has been found to have had ex tensive ramifications. So much the better, if the Royalist Ministry have the courage to strike the heads of the conspiracy. , The Revolutionists in the Chamber begin to cry aloud against tyranny, oppression, cruelty, &c.; which is nothing more than the common tactics of their party to disarm a just vengeance. Let the French Govern ment treat all these acts with utter contempt'; and again we say let tlrem strike the heads of the conspiracy.'The army is with them ; and the nation is weary of revolution. Nothing can shake their power hut timidity or indecision on their own part. They must be moderate ; but they must be firm. A duty too belongs to the Chamber of Deputies. They must not suffer their tribune to' be the rallying point of insurrec tion. If a Member incites the People td resist ance against the Laws and the Constitution, he is not the less a traitor because his incitement is circulated with all the weight and influence of a legislative oration. A. piece of news, which we are inclined to believe would have produced considerable effect on the Funds if it had transpired earlier, became known after the market had closed. Advices were received from Constantinople, dated on the 25th of December, and announcing,that on that, day the Ultimatum of Russia, as modified by the common consent of the Ambassadors of all the great powers, was acceded to by the Divan and imme diately dispatched to St.Petersburgh for ratifica tion. That such advises were actually received through a very respectable channel we have no doubt. The fact of the signature of the Ultima tum was certainly believed at Constantinople, and though we hesitate to take such favourable news on any thing short of official authority, we confess we are disposed to regard it as highly probable. [MORNING POST.] French Journals to the .i2d instant arrived yesterday. They mention the changes which have takra place in the Spanish Ministry. The intelligence which they bring respecting the Turkish affairs is decidedly of a warlike charac ter. An article from Augsburg says—" Very decisive movements have just been made by the Russian armies ; every thing announces that war is inevitable. The army of the South, com manded by General Wittgenstein, has suddenly :quitted its cantonments, and is proceeding to en ter Bessarabia. Another Corps d'Arm6e, com posed of three divisions, passed the Dniester on the 2,6 th Dec. destined to the same province, to join the strong division of Gen. Sehanief, which has long been stationed there. The divisions which form the Corps d'Armee of Count de Woranzoffor the Army of the West, have entered and taken up their cantonments in Volhynia. The light s cavalry belonging to the first division of the army, have also commenced their march for Volhynia. Advices froma respectable source announce, that the Getieral in Chief, Count Wittgenstein,, has established , his head-quarters at I(ischenow, in Bessarabia. On the ether hand, the Turks are concentrating considerable forces, both on the Pruth and Danube. The head-quarters of the Seraskier Czanan-Oglou are at Silistria. Subsequent advices announce, in a positive manner, that since the 23d December the entire Russian Army of the South is in full march towards the Pruth. The divisions have successively passed the Dniester ; the troops even march by night, to make room for those which follow. Each soldier is supplied with biscuit for 15 days." [BRITISII PRESS.] The-Madrid Papers which arrived yesterday fully confirm the accounts which we had pre viously givon respecting the consent of the King of Spain to remove from the Cabinet the ob noxious Ministers. The King, in officially noti fying his intentions in The Gazette,says," I have hiterto declined to accept the resignation of these Ministers, but considering the present circum stances, I now allow them to retire, declaring that I am satisfied with their good services, their at tachment to the Constitution, their loyalty to my person, and their zeal for the public good." These expressions are very remarkable ; they shew how reluctantly the King; has conceded to the wishes of the Cortes, and the body of the nation, and throw an ill grace over a circumstance which ought to have been made the bond of renewed harmony and confidence. The praises bestowed upon these Ministers are extravagantly high ; the qualities ascribed to them complete a picture of perfec tion which the most ingenious writers upon ima ginary forms of Government would have found it impossible to surpass: Every word of this proVes the bitter and abject necessity to which his Majesty must have felt himself to be reduced, but his avowal of so great a humiliation was neither dignified nor judicious. He might have mourned his loss in secret, but he was ill-advised to hold himself out to the country as desiring to maintain any Ministers upon ,whom the People and the Representatives of the People bad fixed their seal of reprobation. So closes the first contest between the King of Spain and his People since, the restoraton of the Consti tution of the Cortes, and the circumstances attending the contest are not of a nature to en courage the King to. any further trials of strength. His Majesty displayed obstinacy rather than firmness, for he merely resisted the wishes of the people without having made any efforts to check the licentiousness of those who venture to speak of their conditional allegiance. His was a nega tive or passive virtue ; but the genius of the Spanish Constitution will ever require from the King an immediate concession, or a vigorous and active resistance. We never admired the theory upon which it is built, although it is impossible not to feel that with all its faults and imperfec tions it is better—far better than the brutalizing system of despotic power which it has superseded. TIMES. A Spanish Mail arrived yesterday, and brought papers and letters from Madrid to the 11th inst. The most important part of the intelligence thus received—namely, the dismissal of the Ministry 1 -was anticipated in our paper of Wednesday last. The King, it appears, consented to this measure with great reluctance. His Majesty is ,represented to have said, " I have hitherto de clined to accept this resignation, but, consider ing the present circumstances, I now allow these Ministers to retire, declaring, however, that I am satisfied with their good services, their attach ment to the Constitution, their loyalty to my person, and their zeal for the public welfare." An inquiry into the conduct of these unpopular Ministers will probably be one of the first objects to which the attention of the next Cortes will be directed. A private letter which we have received informs us, that one. of the Madrid Journals, in alluding to this subject, obser%es—" The Ministers are only suspended from their functions until the ap proaching meeting of the ordinary Cortes, which is the period at which they must render an account of their transactions. In fact, a total discharge might have relieved -them from their responsibility, to which they will be more closely held by a mere suspension. The next Cortes will not be disposed to spare them ; and we are fond to believe that ministerial responsibility will not be found altogether illusory in Spain."—The Cortes is proceeding in the enactment of a penal code. One article subjects to a fine of from 15 to 150 dollars, and from three months to one year's imprisonment, any person convicted of libel on the Constitution, whether by invective or satire ; but it is added—" If this offence should be committed by a Public Functionary, or by an Ecclesiastic, regular or secular, exer cising his ministry, the fine shall be doubled, with an imprisonment of from eight months to three years."—The Territorial Audiencia of New Castile has sentenced John Anderson, a native of Dublin, to one year's imprisonment and ex pulsion from Spain, for being engaged in a con- Tinley against the Constitutional System of Government. [moittiiNG nr.n.tr.o.] It would appear that the public have not yet done with the scandalous notoriety which has at tached to the domestic affairs of a Mr. Loveday, an Englishman residing in Paris. We have al ready inserted this Gentleman's petition to the French Deputies complaining of the conversion of his daughter to the communion of the Church of Rome—accompanied with such rema'ks as we thought were called for by the lamentable folly 'of Mr. Loveday on the one side, and the.u4rin cipled scheme of intrigue and bigotry that had been practised against him on the other.---We have now to add the reply which has a ppeared.under the name of the unhappy daughter, to the narra tive of his griefs put forth by the fattier. If one did not consider into what hands this young woman has , fallen, it would be impossible to ab stain from pronouncing her lost - to- all shame. In fact, both father and child are the dupes and instruments of low intriguers of opposite factions. The father got into the hands of some scribbling charlatan, who surcharged his case- with the irre ; levant declamation of a party pamphlet—perhaps evrh withorli the puny virtrte of labouring, for a I party—solely to letfro:4rnall, contribution on the vagrant literati, who peep into the book-shops of •the Palais Royal. - The daughter now ap pears, in her turn, scandalizing not only the duties arid delicacies, but the common decorum of a child to a parent, in a reply to the father's case, penned by some canting knave or merce nary stranger, who puts forth, under her name, and certainly with her consent ) a tissue of cant ing. perversions and suppressions of truth—excla mations and apostrophes of high-wrought sensi bility, borrowed from the trash of common.place novels—with professions of devoted aWection to her father, in a tone of hypocritical sneering.— We do not think _it worth our while to ex pose the falsehoods sent forth in this reply, by the intrignin - ,4,. canting coterie which has laid hold of this foolish girl for their purposes, or the impudent consciousness of security with which they suppress the truth - and gloss over palpable lies— well knowing that the public press of Paris will not be allowed to place them before the tribunal of public opinion. We cannot abstain, however, from noticing one specimen of the im moral—indeed impudent—Jesuitism which is ,vowed in this affair. The schoolmistress never encouraged Miss Loveday's conversion !—she only allowed the work of conversion to go on at Miss Loveday's entreaty ! She never wrote to the father, saying he had nothing to fear on the score of religion!—having only got her sister to do so Then, again, the young lady did not conceal from her father her being a .Ro man Catholic; for, during the period of her se crecy on the subject she was not a Roman Ca , tholic—having then only determined to becoMe one. It 'is necessary to repeat, that in these, and any other observations on this subject, we are far from denying the right of Roman Catho lics to make and receive converts, and equally far from casting the slightest reflection on that form of Christian belief and worship, or on the moral purity of its sanctions. RIOTOUS ACTS of the WEAVERS in WILTSHIRE. Tuesday morning (22d. inst.) the Magistrates of Bradford having received information that the weavers were - coming there in the course of the day to break the spring looms, &c., the gentle men and all the principal housekeepers were sworn in speciaLconstables, being determined to resist such illegal proceedings; and between three and fciur o'clock, accounts were brought that a:very large number, several, hundreds, were advancing, and wititin a mile of the town, and had begun to break some looMs to pieces in the houses on the road. The Magistrates and con stables immediately proceeded to the spot, when (the Riot Act being read) they took into custody such of the rioters, about thirty, as were pointed out to have been - ctrticerned in the mischief which was done, and eventually dispersed the rest of the mob. Upon examination of the prisoners be fore the MagistrateS, eight, who were identified and sworn to as being the most active, were com mitted and sent off immediately to Devises Bride welli to take their trials at Salisbury 'Assizes ; eight more were remanded for further examina tion the next morning ; and the rest were suffered to depart home, having entered into recognizances to keep the -peace for 12 months, a►rd to appear to answer the-charge when called upon. In the evening, about 150 of the Wiltshire Yeo manry, commanded by John Benett,. Esq., came into the town to assist in the preservation of the public peace; and we understand that regu lar troops will be stationed in both the towns of Bradford and Trowbridge. We hope this will prove a salutary check to these misguided , peo ple, and' that they will return quietly to their work.—(Bath Chronicle.) We find from a correspondent, that about a fortnight since a great body of weavers entered the town of Chippenham, Wilts, and proceeded to the factory of Messrs. C. S-. Taylor and Co., with one of their weavers at the head of the mob, who was_compelled to bring back his work, and prevented from finishing it, without an advance in the price of his wages s which, were the regular and established ones ; but• by the prompt mea sures which were instantly adopted. - four of the principal ringleaders were taken before'a Bench of Magistrates the following day, and were 'com mitted to Devizes Bridewell io abide.the sen tence of the law.---(Bath Chronicle.) SHOCKING AND DETERMINED SU ICIDE.—An quisition was taken yesterday before J. W. UN WIN, Esq., Coroner, at the Grave Morris, White chapel-road, on the body of Mr. George Ed monds, of Plumber's-row, Mile-end Old-town, aged 33.--Mrs. Sarah Edmonds, the wife of the deceased, deposed, that on Saturday last, about eleven o'clock in the forenoon, she was sitting with him in the workshop ; he was, cutting out his work as a boot and shoemaker with his kiae, when on a sudden he said, " now is the time," and instantly lifting up 'the knife, he cut his throat with it, but the injury was trifling. She instantly snatched the knife out of his ',apt'. Soon afterwards, without her perceiving it, he stabbed himself in the left side with anothar knife. She saw it sticking in his body, and in pulling it out they both fell on the ground toge then. She then ran for a doctor, leaving a per son to mind the deceased during her absence. The person abandoned him, and he again stabbed himself on the same side again. On her return, -she found the knife up to the handle in the wound, and the brood. flowing copiously. He was taken to - the London Hospital, where he died on Tuesday. .He had been in a low, desponding state for some time. Verdict—" Temporary Mental Derangement." Sunocs DEATu.-=-Wednesday afternoon, Mr. EDWARD SCAULETT, TeSiding in Carpenter's buildings, London-wall, complained of .a pain in his stomach, after partaking,of a hearty dinner, and instantly expired. A medical gentleman was immediately sent for, who used every effort to restore animation, but 'the vital spark had fled. Mr. S. was 63 years of age ; he had held a lucra tive situation in the Excise . for the last 49 }Tars. Wednesday night, - the chapel in Bury-street, St. Mary Axe,' formerly Dr. WATT'S, %%lIS entered by thieves, and robbed_ of an eight-day clock and other articles. LAW INTVLLIGENCE '(:CURT OF CHANCERY, JAN. N.•.• WILOA74 HENRY COATES v. HENRY COATES, • Mr. bit moved for an injunction to restrain the.defena-. ant frompractiSing as a surgeon and midwife within 10 miles of Salisbury, bit the grounds that the plaintiff and defendant had entered into partnerships in that profession, on the express condition that, at the expiration of, the partnership, he should not practice as a surren and midwife iri the limits abOyemenz• timed ; but he was at liberty to practice ta a physician. The defendant had serVed . the plaintiff with notice of the expiration of the partnershiP, and was canvassing for.patientA, and practising as a surgeon and midwife at Salisbury, contrary to the express meaning of the clause in the deed of partnership. Under these circumstances, he trusted that his.Lordshipwould grant the injunction. The Loan CHANCEALOR. said he could have no hesitation to grant the injunction, were it not for the unfortunate patients; and on their account he thought the defendant should receive notice of motion. The dtfendant might be called upon to act a fractured- limb, or to deliver half the women in Salisbury: Mr. HORNE said it would not be proper for him to say that the defendant had no busineis, because his . client complained that he was taking his away. The defendant should therefore receive notice of motion. EX-PARTE CARROLL, IN THE MATTER 01' HOWARD AND GIBBS. The Loan CHANcELLon, addressing himself . to the: Coun sel. employed in this case, observed, that he had found that Mr. Howard, one of the bankrupts, had proved a debt against the joint estate to the amount of 9251., in the character of an exe•• cutor, and he had in consequence voted, upon the election of the assignees, in favour of Messrs. Carroll, Wilkie and Dulf.— lf the vote of Mr. Howard were subtracted,. themajority. would be against the persons he had just named. lie wished to know whether , oiy Gentleman at the Bar could furnish him With a case in which a bankrupt, proving a debt against hiniscifi had been allowed to vote for asngnees CHAI'PLE AND FISDER V. CADELL, MAIVUAN, AND OTHERS. ' This case ; which we have already fully reported, came on again this day, when the Counsel for the . defendants .were heard. It was an appeal from the judgment of the Master of the Rolle, on the merits of a, bill, filed by the plaintiffs, for the purpose of Nina- ' restored to - the enjoyment of their interest iti the proilts of the British PrtsS and Globe Newspapers, from which, as they alleged, they had been debarred by an act of their co-partners, .which they were not competent to do. The Master of the Rolls decided in their favour to a certain extent only, and, in consequence, they appealed from his ..tidg merit to the Court: of Cheiseery. The case on behalf of the appellants was heard on a former day. Messrs. "WETuEnE La, HORNE, and RAITHRY, addressed the Court this day for the respondents. They first entered into the consideration of the preliminary questions, whether or not there was any thing in the articles of - agreement originally be tween all the parties which negatived the power of the ma jority to bind the whole by their acts, and even, if necessary, to dissolve the partnership. They entered into an examination of the articles themselves, and contended that, according to the terms of these articles, as also according to the understanding of the parties themselves, this poVaer was resident in the majority. Upon the merits of the case they were equally clear that the appellants had no equity, because, though they had opposed' the resolution to sell the papers, and though they protested against the sale, yet they afterwards tendered proposals for the purchase of the concern, when it was exposed for sede by private contract, by virtue of the above resolution. Again : the relief a hich they prayed, was of so singular a nature, that it could not but very much affect the case of the appellants. They first asked relief because they said that the majority had not the power to dikprise of their (the appellant's) interest, and next they sought relief upon an adoption of that very sale. Thus then, the Learned Counsel contended, that the majority had • right to sell ; and k it next, that they sold in a legal, fair, an honest . manner ; that the appellants were not entitled even - o the measure , of relief which the Master of the Rolls affbrded them, but that the bill should have been dismissed avail= them with costs ; and that the only equity which 'theilthe appellants) had a right to was their proportion of the parchase a money paid for the papers, which was never denied to them, but which they obstinately refused. Mr. ItaitT was about to reply, when The LORD CHANCELLOR said he was afraid lie could not hear the whole of the reply, and it would 'be better to post pone it. M. IlArtT—My reply shah be extremely short. The Loan CHANc ELLOR—I am afraid I could mit wait to hear it all , and that would be unsatisfactory to your clients. COUIVI I OF KING'S BENCH, JAN'. 21 DIXON V. REID. This was an action on a policy of insurance, tried before the Lord. Chief Justice at Guildhall. The declaration .stated,..that. after the vessel left Sierra Leone, and while she was prNieeding on her voyage from .thence to London, she was lost with her cargo, by barratry of the ;Master and Mariners. I . t appeared in evidence, that after the ship had set sail on her homeward voy age, it was discovered that some of the casks containing Water' had been staved : the crew were put on short allowance, and the vessel was finally taken to Barbados, and sold with part or the cargo. . The rest of the cargo arrived in England, but it did not appear that any part of it ever was recovered by the owner. The plaintiff recovered a verdict. The So i.teiTon-GENE it AL now moved for a new trial on three grounds :-Ist, that if, as was probable, the fraudui- , t intention of the Captain had its inception before the ship left Sierra Leone, .so that in fact she never sailed fdr London, it, could Rot be truly averred, ip the language of: the declaration, that the_ arratry took place while -she was proceeding on the voyage to London : 2d, that as part of her cargo we brought to England, the plaintiffought fornially to have given notice of abandonMent : and, 3dly, that if the alteration in -the course of the vessel took place from the want of provisions produced by the negligence of the Captain, not amounting in the first in stance to barratry, this was such a deviation as would put an end to the liability of the insurers. • But the COURT thought, on the first point, that the allega tion was divisible, and that, even supposing previous fraud, the loss was well stated. On the second point, they thought it suf ficient that none of the proceeds had been shewn to come to the owner's hands : and on the third, as it was not suggested at the trial, and as they did not conceive the Jury would have found reason to alter their opinion on the whole case if it had been sub mittal to them, they . would not disturb the verdict. They therefere refused the motion ; but ordered that inquiry should be made, whether any of the proceeds of the cargo had been re, ceived by the plaintiff, -and if any had been received, that the amount Ilhould be deducted from the damages. \VEST V. YRANCIP.,. • This was an action for the piracy of prints, representing the performers at some of the Theatres, in picturesque attitudes. The defendant was not the artist who had imitated the origi nals, but merely the publiSher. The prints sold Is%I: - .i . not exact copies from the originals, butvariedfrom them in several ciremn stances of dress and attitude. The Jury ibUlld 4. verdict for the plaintiff. Mr. OuliNE X' now -moved to set the verdict aside, and to enter a nonsuit. The Act of Parliament made this distinction between the artist who was guilty of pirating the works of ano.: ther, and a mere publisher—that the former was liable to an action if lie copied any part of another's design, however he mightalter it in many particulars, but that the latter was liable only when lie an exact copy. This distinction was made to protect • a publisher who might never have seen the ori ginal, or only have looked at it in a cursory manner, and who might be entirely unconscious that the work which lie sold was, in part, taken from another. In the case of Galia;an v. Cooper, 3 Campbell, 111., the point was decided on- a similar clause of .the 38th Ge0..111. c. 71. The Co u ItT thought the point deserved consideration, and therefore granted a rule to chew cause. THE KING.V. DENNELL AND OTHERS. Mr. Cun;e)o;;ved for a rule to shew cause why a crimi nal information should not be rranted against James Bennell and thre e other persons residing - at Colchester, in Essex. Qn the 3d of September last, the election of the e\layor and four Headm en was holden at Colchester, and the 'election for the offices of headmen was severely contested. Qn this occasion James Bennell tendered his vote, Which was disputed, and otl findin g an objection iaised, he seized the poll-books, and ob tained possession of them, while the other parties moved against made a violent - disturbance in the hall. The books were reco vered, but the destruction was so great, that the Mayor adjourn ed t)e election till the followingday. The Cou av granted a rule to chew cause. BLUNDELL V. BLUNDELL. Mr. ANDREWS moved - for a rule to shew cause why the de fendant's Attorney should not pay the costs of severarattempts to justify bail beibre a Judge in Chambers. It was sworn that he had given notice of bail, one of whom he afterwards acknow ledged to be insufficient; that he supplied his- place with an other equally improper ; and that he had caused great delay in the attendance to justify. A letter had been addressed to him, requesting him to pay the expences occasioned by this conduct, but he had returned no answer. . _ The COURT granted the rule, the Chief Justice ohseriing that very great abuses prom* in putting in bail at Chambers. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, J.N. 24. IMPORTANT CASE. _ _ VincenWhoiast:YWiuiUTN;as discharged under the Iniolverrt Act, was now a g ain brought up by Mr. Clegg, and uti►cr oppesing creditors, to give an acceunt of Ins effects • anti t? mc;l in which thy previotin to Li 4 • .discharge 'The Creditors had made inquiries into the estatoh and effects a the insolvent, arid , dii.Ylvr,-(1 t:lat thik had been,' by his- artifices and t:•l6Se of. the insolv.!nt's fathri' , • and relations, deftauded of a con,iik.mlo.2 qiiantity of valuahlC property both real and personal, amenntma to.a Wry 1avg6441 , 2 4 ' of money. The insolvent, vr%o is a shopkeeper reaisqing at Sudbury; was examined at very Feat length by lir. if ans.:Pa oas the part of, the opposing creditors. In the course of thi.4 . -etamihation he stated that his father was a farmer, li-anig WtdtlintAtid; afld that 'while in priSon (previous to his former diScharge) he had frequent intercourse with him, and' alsoarith; - is:'two•brothero Philip and Henry. From the latter he had received 1101. worth, .of debts collected. There was also 'an agreement .entered-into' between his brother and himself, while in prison, relative to some land which was his (the insolvent's)propetty. The effe c t' of this tn.ateement Was to allow his brother to take the land upon! the consideration of MI. While in prison; too, some debts were scratched Mat of his boos tia paid which wesharevar paid; antls which were mentioned os paid in his schedule. He would.. swear he - did not scratch'ont 2001. worth of thresealektsaThere might be 10Q1. thus scratched out, but not more. The principal evidence against the insolVent' 'wag a wiftiass ce tht name of Nellor, who had been empinyed by him, andeh4 been Li his confidence, as Well as that of all his relations who. were concerned in the business. He proved 'that lie was with; the insolvent while in prison many times, and drew up the: agreement between the insolvent and his brother; by which the' latter was to give 501. consideration for an estate worth some. hundred pounds. It was (Intim up in a regular form, signed by the parties. (fin another oceserion witness was in. prison with the insolvent, when Philip Vincent, the insolvent'i brother, brought to his brother a bill for 2001., drawn by the executors of the insolvent's present wife's father, at two *ears', date. This was the insolvent's own property. The bill wa s ' shown to-witness by the insolvent, but the latter would ni.'• suffer it to go Out of hi* custody, and kept his thumb on til signature' of the brittioM of the bill. Witness Niked: at back of the bill, and he saw it had no . endorsement. Anotina: time Henry Vincent brought his brother 1101., he salt - t: were debts collected from various er,2o - fors. Fie said h had had a hard job. of it, .and he considered himself. Very, lucky in having. obtained so much. Witness :!shed the iasolos vent call his brother a d—d fool for, tioratehirag the debts which had dates with them. The ineolvent•th en ' a tt em t.M to alter the dates in the book by spitlts suit, diluted water, and by scratching with a pensknife. Dore the book -11 ' 5 4 introduced, and a _particular entry Was pointed. cht by the witness, where the insolvent had attempted tdobliterate a date. and had failed. The entry was, " Received the above, Ike. Pt 1820 " Witness heard.the insolvent while in prison, and before he was brought to the Court td be discharged, say, " My father will become assignee. He will, get pOsaession of the books; and all will be well." The iuSolvent's • father asked his ;ton whether it would be necessary that he should be examined•as l to the agreement, and the inso!vent replied, " No, I will adinit that, and not a word shall be . mentioned about it." The fathef alse expressed his apprehension that Cleggwould come' to the knowledge of the 2001. bill. The insolVent answered, that he had just received a letterfrom Clegg; and he (the insolvent) was 54'' tisfied he knew nothing about it. The father was anxious that he should have ,possession of the bill, and asked 'the insolvent why it was not as safe in his hands as 'Philip's. The insol vent replied, ".No, no, Philip knows hew to keep it best.',and implied, that his father might be inducud, as he was 2 1 old and infirm man, to disclose it. Witness, after the nisei , - vent's dischasge in February, went down to Sudbury, and then to WaitlingilAd, where the. insolvent's 'father - lived. The je' solvent then aliEwed him a room in his father's house, where there was a quantity of pack e d g o o d s , cons i s ti ng o f h a ta,•t a blngs chairs, earthenware vessels, and glass utensils of various kinds. - The insolvent told him that these were his property. P re vions . to his'cliseharre, the insolvent h a d inf orme d w it ncs a th a t ht , had sent goids to Waldingfield, and that th e carter in way •from Sudbury to his' father's house had been fortunao t enough not• to meet a single person.
