THE LONDON JOURNALS. IATIIACTS FROM Tur. DAILY 'MORNING PAPEIti, August 21, 1822. -IMORNING Pon.] The earth has now closed over the remains of the Martinis of Londonderry, and the man who succeeded 'the Pitts and Foxes in the post of public duty, of difficulty and danger, now shares with them the grave of honour, which the country bestows upon those who have served her well.— Take but a few steps, and you will have trodden upon the dust of the three mightiest Statesmen by whom the. affairs of England have been con ducted. Look abroad, and you will see that the tenants of so small a space have moved the world by the strength of their genius, and bound it in the chains of their policy. Yot will learn in the history of their lives the Utmost extent of human powers—you will read in the short epitaphs at your feet the extreme nothing ness of human grandeur. We give in another part of our paper the details of that simple tut solemn ceremony by which " dust is re tarned unto dust," and the living render to the dead those charitable offices which they know they wiil soon want themselves. On this occa sion all publiC pomp was wisely discarded, and those Ns ho attended came to relieve their hearts by a last tribute - of respect and attachment to their friend—not to enjoy a pageant : and never, certainly, was any scene more truly affecting than that which took place in the Abbey, when the body of the departed Minister was lowered into the grave, amidst the tears of those colleagues who had for so many years shared his labours and his cares. Such an unanimity of feeling and grief would have become contagious even to the most bitter political enemy, whose heart was not closed to the sympathies of our nature. Nay, a generous foe would have possibly been still more overpowered by his emotions than a faith ful friend; for a thousand considerations would press upon his mind from which the latter would be free. He would doubt whether his hostility had been well founded ; he would fear that it had been expressed with undue warmth ; he would feel the recoil of every harsh word that he had used, of every charge which he had lightly ventured to make, as that of so many acts of in justice towards the Dead, and his sorrow would be deepened by the afflicting reflection that he might thus have contributed to hasten the appal. ling catastrophe which he joined in deploring. [THE TIMES.] At an early hour yesterday morning, as will be seee from our report of the ceremony, the re mains of the late Minister for Foreign Affairs were deposited in Westminster Abbey. The body of the Noble Marquis was interred by the side of Mr. Pitt, whose patronage he had enjoyed. :end whose policy he professed to imitate, but -whose name, whether for good or evil, will swallow up that of a thousand such disciples. The policy itself, vigorous as it was, though im provident, mischievous, and futile as it has proved itself, derived its reputation from the manly character and rhetorical ascendency of that indi vidual by whom it was suggested and enforced; so the() llicehold ers rather than Statesmen who have succeeded him owe not merely their name but their political existence to an assumed admiration of his errors. That system, under the effect of which the country now groans, will fasten itself in the eyes of future generations as an indelible appendage to Mr. Pitt. Lord Londonderry and the rest will be, happily for themselves, forgotten. Such is the true relation in which this subaltern and secondary Administration stands towards its haughty original. The history of this last funeral pageant may in one respect be rendered a me dium of useful instruction. Lord Londonderry , was by official authority buried in the great na tional receptacle of the ashes of our Kings, our patriots, and heroes. His body was attended to its last abode by much of the rank and power of the empire, and consigned to the earth amidst the unaffected tears of private friends, relatives, and servants ; but, painful to relate, amidst the coarse exultation of the populace ! To say that we have been grieved and shocked and disgust ed by the last recited fact, is merely to put on record our fellow-feeling with every civilized and honourable mind in the community. There is hardly an instance of more barbarous and un manly triumph over a fallen enemy by the most savage people. There never was offered a more' offensive or more disgraceful outrage to the sot- rows of the living, or to the defenceless dead. The private character and noble virtues of Lord Londonderry were such as would in ordinary cases have disarmed every vindictive sentiment. [MORNING HERALD.] The funeral procession and burial of the late Marquis of Londonderry took place yester day. Several of the Noble .Lord's Colleagues in office stood over his grave, and beheld it close upon him for ever with strong emo iioD. Indeed, a feeling of sadness and regret, beyond even what is usually inspired by so me lancholy an occasion, pervaded not alone the friends and connexions of the deceased, but all those who formed part of the procession ; and the countenances of all who witnessed the cortege, as it passed, bore an expression of sorrow or of morunful respect. The pomp and parade, which naturally attended remains so illustrious, seemed to make scarcely any impression. It is painful and humiliating that there should be any ex ception to this manifestation of general good feel ing. Such, however, is unhappily the fact.— When the funeral reached Westminster Abbey, some disgraceful shouts were uttered by per ons, who formed no part of the assemblage attending the remains, but who had been waiting there for the arrival of the procession. This was, indeed, shameful. It was an outrage upon the national character of Englishmen, for gene rous and compassionate humanity. Such brutal conduct befits only a savage of the woods.. It is monstrous in a civilized country. But there can Le little doubt that there are very few, even of the lowest description in England, capable of ~.uch callous barbarity. The very populace would disavow them ; and a strong sentiment of indig nation and disgust was felt by all those who heard their scandalous and unmanly shouts.— Thete are few instances on record of such cold blooded barbarity and baseness. [BRITISH PRESS.] t had been originally understood that the fu neral of the Noble Marquis should be as private as possible ; but this intention, if it had ever been seriously entertained by his friends, was totally abandoned, and the last sad honours which are left to friendship to bestow upon departed merit, were in this instance as impressive by their pomp as it was possible to make them. The Ministers of the Crown, the Foreign Ambassadors, consider able numbers of the Peers, and of the Members of the House of Commons, attended upon this me lancholy occasion to mark their respect to the me mory of the deceased, and the occurrences acquir ed a deep and painful interest from the unequivocal tokens of sincere regret which many of his friends and colleagues shed upon his grave. Deeply and unaffectedly must Lord Londonderry have been esteemed and beloved by his colleagues and friends, when we find them so little capable of controlling their feelings, as to give vent to their tears in the midst of a vast multitude of people, and during the solemnity of a public funeral, where they were appearing and acting as principal characters. Lord Liverpool, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the Lord Chancellor, and even the Duke of Wellington, paid to the memory of their departed Colleague this proud tribute of their affection ; and there were, we think, very few persons present at the funeral, of ingenuous and honourable minds, no matter what might have been the colour of their political senti ments, who did not experience some momen tary pain as they viewed the mournful procession passing over the same scenes where the Noble Marquis had himself appeared a very short time previous, in the vigour of mental and bo dily health, as the most impressive figure in the gorgeous pageant of the King's Coronation. It is a painful part of our duty to be compelled to notice conduct on the part of some of the multi tude who followed the procession, that not only evinced no share in those kindlier feelings to which we have alluded, but that was totally inconsistent with the ordinary decency which is generally observed upon such mournful occasions. At the moment of removing the body from the hearse, some of the rabble who crowded about the entrance to the Abbey muttered a shout or exclamation that was not meant to convey honour to the deceased. It seemed to be a cry of exul tation, as if they felt a joy in the untimely death of this unfortunate Nobleman, and took this sad occasion to testify their hostility towards the political views which had distinguished the Mi nisterial career of the Marquis of Londonderry. We feel shame and sorrow in noticing this out rage against the common decencies of society.— Death is commonly regarded as a great conci liator, but in the death of the Marquis of Lon donderry there was something which ought pecu liarly to have disarmed every angry or unkind feeling towards the deceased. [MORNING CHRONICLE.] We received the Paris Papers of Sunday, last night, by express. The French Chambers were dissolved on the 17th. In the Chamber of Depu ties, the Cots Droit (says the Journal des Debats) separated with cries of Vive le Roi; the left re mained silent. The Constitutionnel says, that some of the left called out after Vive le Roi, and also the Charter. A letter from M. de Santa Rosa to the Minister of the Interior affords a striking proof of the meannesses to which the present French Ministers can descend. The Minister of the Interior is represented as having uttered a deliberate falsehood in the Chamber of Deputies, with respect to the Piedmontese Refugees, who have in vain applied for a passport to Eng land.--A letter (said to be from Pera) in the French Papers, and dated the 15th ult., gives an account of great disturbances at Constantinople. Letters were yesterday re ceived from that city, dated the 18th August, which make no mention of disorders of any kind. We refer our readers to our City Correspondent for the intelligence brought by these letters. — The recal of Count Lutzow from Constantinople on account of peace being fully restored (stated in an article from Vienna of the 10th in our ex tracts from German Papers) harmonizes with that intelligence. [NEW TIMES.] We yesterday received some interesting com munications from Spain with respect to the new Spanish loan, of which so much has lately been said. Some particulars are communicated in the following extract of a letter received by an emi nent mercantile house in the City : " For some time past it has been expected that sr new loan for the service of Spain would be immediately introduced into the foreign stock market, although it is already overburdened with such securities; but the cause of the delay has been care fully concealed from the public eye until this moment. It should seem that the delay does not arise from the Spanish Go vernment not wanting money, but from the exoioitant price which the contractors demand for it. The agent of a French banking-house has of Bred to take the loan, but upon terms 1r unfavourable, that, poor as the Spanish Treasury confessedly -is, the Government was obliged to reject them. For the loan of 13,000,000 dollars, paying 5 per cent. ann. the Parisian banker offered 38 per cent. only, or in other words, for the 13,000,000 dollars in bonds, they offered only 4,940,000 dollars in cash.— The taxes which are raised in the more tranquil provinces are applied to the necessities of the local authorities, but they do not furnish more than oee•fourth of the amount wanting to pay the troops, and for other immediate necessaries. Not a rial reaches the seat of Government at Madrid, where the great dearth of money is seriously felt. As to the revenue of Spain, it exists only in theory ; the exorbitant duties levied by the Cortes having thrown almost the whole of the trade into the hands of smugglers." As far as the state of the Capital itself is con cerned, the intelligence, which reaches down to the Bth inst., is of a confused and uncertain cha racter. Indeed, from the present state of party feeling in the provinces, it will be some time be fore any regular communication can take place between Spain and France, or this Country. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, AUG. 20. THE CONCLUSION OF THE SITTINGS. At about a quarter past 11 o'clock the LORD CHANCELLOR came into Court, dressed in deep mourning, after having at tended the funeral of the late Marquis of Londonderry. Mr. HART said he had an application to make to the Court, which was of a pressing nature ; it was for an injunction to re strain a party from negociating certain bills of exchange. Mr. WETHERELL said he had to make an application of a still more pressing nature, which was, therefore, entitled to precedence. The LORD CHANCELLOR said, that if the ; Counsel were satisfied, he would take the affidavits in both cases home, and endeavour to decide between the parties without the necessity of having Counsel; he (the Lord Chancellor) acting as Counsel on both sides himself. Mr. HEALD stated that he, too, had an application to make for an injunction to restrain a party from injuring a coal-mine ; and requested that his Lordship would take the affidavits in this as in the other cases. The LORD CHANCELLOR—I will do as I said—take the affidavits home with me and read them. I cannot sit here after to-day. After ten months severe and incessant labour, I am quite exhausted and unable to go on with business, without some respite. Had this not been the long vacation, I should require an interval of a week to recruit myself, and then' I would return to Court ; but as it is, my faculties are too much harassed to proceed any further without some intermission ; and I am not going to sacrifice my life for the suitors of this Court. In a few moments afterwards, The ATTOREY-GENERAL rose and said, that it was the general wish of the Bar, which they requested him to express, that his Lordship would now close his sittings. After his Lord ship had been so long harassed by business, and particularly after the distressing duty which he had just performed, the bar requested that he would not add to his fatigue by deferring any longer to close his sittings ; especially as a few hours longer could not materially advance business, although they might press heavily upon his Lordship, exhausted as he must neces sarily be. The LOUD CHANCELLOR replied with considerable emo tion, his Lordship's eyes swimming in tears :—" I have ever in the course of a long professional life cherished the warmest affection towards the bar ; and I receive the expression of this wish as a proof of a return of that feeling on their parts. I feel it most sensibly, and shall continue to recollect it with gratitude." His Lordship, however, continued to sit for a short time longer. IX THE SCATTER OF THE EARL OF PORTSMOUTH. Mr. TRESLOVE stated, that he was with Mr. HEALD in this case, and it was impossible that the affidavits in support of the petition could be answered by his client, without their being first referred to the master for impertinence. It was usual that a motion of this kind should be made by Counsel outside the bar, and the duty therefore fell upon him. Mr. HART said, that his Lordship would read the affidavits; and he would be the best judge of their pertinence. Mr. TRESLOVE thought this a motion of course : for, after the affidavits were referred to the Master, they would, on his report, come before the Lord Chancellor in the shape of an appeal. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL offered to hand the affidavits to his Lordship's officer, Mr. Hand. The LORD CHANCELLOR said, he might do so when the other side were in full possession of them. In cases like this, his Lordship thought it his duty to read the affidavits, in the first instance, on which the application was founded. PILKINOTON, DART. V. SMITH, BART., AND OTHERS. In this case an application was made by Messrs. HART and BARBER, on behalf of the guardians of Anne Pilkington, one of the infant defendants, under the following circumstances, as stated in the petition, and the affidavits filed in support of it : In the month of July, 1811, the late Sir Thomas Pilkington died, leaving four infant daughters, his co-heiresses, of whom the defendant Anne is now about 17 years of age, and entitled to a fortune of 60,0001., subject to a couple of annuities. In 1813, her paternal uncle, Sir Thomas Pilkington, and her ma ternal uncle, Mr. Tufnell, were appointed her guardians by this Court. She had been residing for the last eight months with her grandmother, Mrs. Tufnell, at Springfield-place, near Chelmsford, where she became acquainted with Mr. Philip Bennet, the younger, of Bougham, in Suffolk, who, about three months ago, applied to her guardians for leave to pay his addresses to her. They, however, did not consider him an eligible match for their ward, and therefore declined to en courage his overtures. On last Friday the young lady dined at the house of Sir John Tyrrell, Bart, at Boreham, near Chelmsford, in company with her grandmother and other re latives ; and in the course of the evening she contrived to ' withdraw herself from the rest of the company, and eloped with Mr. Bennet, with whom she was seen travelling in a gig with the utmost expedition ; nor has either of the fugitives been since discovered. The petitioners conceived it their duty to state these facts to the Lord Chancellor ; and prayed that his Lordship would be pleased to make such order as he should think proper. The LORD CHANCELLOR ordered, that Mr. Bennet should immediately restore the infant defendant, Anne Pilkington, to her guardian, Mr. Tufnell, and that he (Mr. Bennet) should attend his Lordship on the next seal. The Court will not sit again before November. INSOLVENT DEBTOR'S COURT, AL-G. 20. 'William Yale came up to be heard on his petition, and was opposed by Mr. Cordell and Mr. Huxley. Mr. Cordell stat ed, that the insolvent applied to him to take a stable for five horses, representing himself as a gentleman of fortune, and say ing that two persons who accompanied him were his grooms, and giving a reference to two persons of his own name, who kept a cheese shop in Barbican. Mr. Cordell made inquiry of the cheesemongers, who confirmed the insolvent's account of him. self, adding, that he kept race-horses, in consequence of which he let him a stable at 201. a-year, but never after saw him till yes. terday in Court. The insolvent's associates brought horses to the stable, and occupied it a year and a quarter without paying any rent, and then ran away. Mr. Cordell, on inquiry, found that the persons who used the stable were swindlers, who dealt in horses; that the cheesemongers were the insolvent's own brothers ; and that the insolvent, at the time he took the stable, was lodging in a garret in White-horse court, at Is. 6d. a-week.. Mr. Hux ley stated, that he was a wholesale glover, and that the insolvent in July last year applied to him for a supply of gloves, having, he said, just taken a shop for the sale of such articles in the Strand, and referring him to a brother who lived in Sweeting's alley. Mr. Huxley made the inquiry, and was assured that the insolvent was commencing business with a good capital, in consequence of which representation Mr. Huxley gave him credit for gloves to the amount of 711., for which he then took a bill at two months. The insolvent was very anxious to get more gloves before the bill was due, but Mr. Huxley refused giving any until the bill should be paid ; and just as it was coming due, the insolvent cleared the shop of every thing, and absconded in the night. Mr. Huxley arrested him as sooni as he could. The insolvent, in answer to all this, said, that he had taken the stable for a couple of Gentlemen of his acquaint. arice ; and with respect to Mr. Huxley's debt, when he (insol vent) found that no further credit would be given, he thought it useless to continue the shop, and took the stock to Bristol, where a friend of his sold it for their mutual advantage. The money was all gone. He admitted that he had pledged 15 dozen of Mr. Iluxley's gloves almost as soon as he bought them. Mr. Commissioner HARRIS, after sonic animadversions upon the dishonesty of the insolvent and his associates, ordered that he should not be discharged for 13 months after the filing of his petition.

SHOUTING AT THE FUNERAL OF THE MAR QUIS OF LONDONDERRY. MARLBoROt, GII-STREZ T.—Yesterday William Clifford, having the appearance of a decent tradesman, was brought to this office, charged before— ROE, Esq. the Sitting Magis trate, with being disorderly, and endeavouring to excite a dis turbance at the funeral of the Marquis of Londonderry. Samuel Plank, the police officer, being sworn, stated, that that morning he was on duty in St:James's-square, when the remains of the late Marquis of Londonderry were about to be removed for interment to Westminster Abbey. When the procession was about to proceed thither, he observed the pri. soner addressing the multitude assembled, but could not hear what was the subject of his address. On the procession moving the prisoner went on huzzaing, and, after continuing this mode of conduct for some time, he returned to the Marquis's door, con tinually calling out " Iluzza" with the greatest violence, and seemed to exult in the remains of the deceased being removed to his tomb. Witness cautioned him on the impropriety of his conduct, and requested he would desist; but he defied the of ficer, saying, he had committed no offence, and he would huzza as long as he chose. Witness still requested him to move on, but on refusing, several gentlemen present cried " Shame" at the Prisoner's conduct, and reproached the wit ness with dereliction of duty if he did not take him into cus tody. Wales, the officer, corroborated the statement of Plank, and added, that on the Prisoner being taken to St. James's watch. house, he was hooted by several of the mob who followed him. Mr. RoE asked the Prisoner where he lived, and of what trade he was ? Prisoner (with an air of assumed confidence)—" I live at No. 2, Seymour-place, Chandos-street, and am a coach. painter." MAGISTRATE.—" What have you to say in your defence?" The Prisoner said that he had business in the Hay-market, and hearing that a grand funeral was to take place in Saint James's-square, he went to see it, on which he was told that it was the Marquis of Londonderry's. He did not deny having huzzaed, but it did not proceed from any ill-will towards the deceased ; but he had laid a wager of a glass of rum with an other man that the funeral of the Marquis of Londonderry would proceed from St. James's square, and not from North Cray, and, on winning the wager, he was so overcome, that he cried out " Huzza 1" on which the officer took him in custody. The Magistrate said that he would not comment upon the disgraceful conduct of the Prisoner, and regretted that an in dividual could be capable of such gross indecency at a public funeral. The Prisoner was ordered to find bail, and was locked up until it was procured. MANSION-HousE.—PRIZE MONEY.—Yesterday Mr. AL LAY, the barrister, attended the Justice-room, for the purpose of preferring a serious charge against an army agent (a bank rupt), at the instance of an Officer of Marines, who some time ago lost a leg and thigh in the service of his country, and now complained of being stripped of his only recompence—his prize money. Application had been previously made to the LORD MAYOR upon the subject, and his Lordship sent a summons to the army agent, requiring his attendance at the Justice-room. Mr. ALLEY waited much beyond the time generally-ex pected from the patience of professional men, but the army agent did not make his appearance to answer the charge. His Solicitor, however , attended, and was very anxious to know the precise nature of the imputation against his client. Mr. Alley said, he knew no attorney in this case. It was the duty of the accused to attend the summons. That, however, there might be no mistake in this matter, he should not hesitate to state, that his client charged the army agent with having defrauded him of 2,0001. 5 per cent. stock—a crime subject to the penalty of transportation. The presence of the defendant was the only thing necessary, to enable the Lord Mayor to come to a deci sion on the case, as the depositions could now be made to the most satisfactory extent. The Solicitor wished to see the depositions which were said to warrant the representation that fraud had been committed. Mr. ALLEY ridiculed such a mode of proceeding, as wholly incompatible with professional practice, and desired that the name of the person summoned should be called. The name having been called, and no answer returned, the Solicitor stated, that he knew the object of the complainant, in this case, was to hold up the defendant to public exposure. He added, that he saw no reason, except the Lord Mayor declared his opinion in the affirmative, why his client should be present on this occasion, there being no distinct charge against him. If his Lordship expressly desired it, the defendant should make his appearance at any time. Mr. ALLE v said the defendant had been treated with great lenity, in having received a summons instead of being com pelled to attend upon a warrant. But as mild treatment had no effect, and the authority of the Chief Magistrate, so far as it had been exercised, had produced no consequences, another measure should be resorted to. The Solicitor here strongly denied that any fraud had been practised, and said that a gentleman was in the Justice room who was ready to be bail for the defendant to any amount. Mr. ALLEY said, the case was one which could not be bailed. He again animadverted upon the absence of the defendant, and declared that the unfortunate gentleman who had been de frauded was almost aruined man in consequence of his reli ance upon the integrity of the accused. The LORD MAYOR said, that nothing could be done with out the presence of the army agent, against whom he certainly could not think of issuing a warrant without the regular affi davits, a representation having been made by the Solicitor to that party, which gave the imputation a different cast from that which it had just received. The Solicitor stated, that he knew the complainant was a great sufferer by the bankruptcy, but he most solemnly de clared that the case was far from being one of felony. Mr. ALLEY then gave notice, that the affidavits should be drawn up, and that the defendant might expect a warrant. This case excited great interest, and will come on in a few days fbr the decision of the Loan MAYOR. The complainant was ready to make his deposition before his Lordship, but it was thought more advisable to have the affidavits drawn up in the customary form, and to compel the attendance of the de fendant by a warrant. GUILDHALL.—ROBBERIES BY SERVANTS.—Mark her, a lamplighter, in the employ of the City Gas Company, Dorset-street, Salisbury-square, was brought up yesterday be fore Mr. Alderman Lucas, on a charge of felony, under the following circumstances : It is the duty of the prisoner, it seems, to attend at the factory every night until 11 o'clock, to be in readiness to relight any of the gas-lights that may happen to be extinguished. On Monday night hewas more than usuallyanxious to get offiand,a full quarter of an hour before his time, suggested to Robins, the watchman of the factory, his intention toleave. Robinsobjected to his going so soon ; he remained very impatiently for a few minutes, and at length left the premises, as Robins thought, before 11 o'clock. On the latter going his rounds at that hour, he perceived a man on his hands and knees on the outside of the gates, en deavouring to get something out of the yard underneath them ; and on watching, discovered it to be the prisoner, who, it ap peared, afraid to be detected in carrying any thing out of the premises, had placed a spade within reach, from the outside, and was drawing it out under the gates. Robins waited quietly till the prisoner had effected his pur pose; he then gave the alarm of " stop thief," and pursued Pember, who threw down the spade in his way, but was se cured by the watchman in New Bridge-street. The prisoner, in his defence, said, he merely meant to bor row the spade to do a small job for himself', intending to return it in the morning. The clerk of the works gave the prisoner a good character generally. The Company, he said, were not desirous of being too hard against him, but the quantity of tools of different de criptione stolen from them was so enormous, that they felt it their duty not to pass the case over. Mr. Alderman Lucas observed, that cases of depredation by servants upon their employers were lately of such frequent recurrence at that office, that he should not do his duty if he permitted the prisoner to escape punishment. Although the article stolen was of small value, the intention was manifest. Had he only meant to borrow it as he pleaded, he would have applied to the foreman for the loan of it, and was not likely to have been refused. If he had hitherto borne a good charac ter, and this was his first offence, he would receive the benefit of it in the mitigation of his sentence.—Committed to New. gate. Bow-STREET.-oAmiNo.—Yesterday James Noel, Fran cis Brown, and eighteen other well-dressed men , were brought up from St. Martin's watch-house, by Nicholls, Ellis, and Morris, three of the conductors of patrol, charged with being found at a common gaming-house in Pall-mall, contrary to the statute. Private information was received by the Magistrates a few days ago, that a common gaming-table was kept at No. 55, Pall-mall • and on Monday a warrant to enter the house, and to seize all persons and gaming apparatus found therein, was put into the hands of J. Smith, one of the principal officers, who with Taunton, Ruthven, and about 15 others, went to the house soon after midnight. They took with them a ladder, which was placed at the first floor:wiridow with cautious silence, and Ruth ven mounted it in order to effect an entrance there, while the rest went in below, the better to secure the bank before the parties could have time to remove it. The interior of the cita del, however, was too well guarded, and the plans of the gar rison too well arranged, to admit of a complete surprise. The d officers had no sooner entered below, than (before Ruthven could effect his entraftee at the window) a large bell was rung by at porter, and some little resistance being made by the defendant Brown, the party within had time to conceal the greater pot 01 , 1 the treasure, and the o ffi cers found only 271. in the bank, an d most of the defendants sitting in a quiescent state round a table. Ruthven was obliged to dash his arm through a pane of glass to get at the window-fastening inside before he could enter, and in doing so he cut his hand severely. The defendant Brown met the officers on the stairs, and attempted to close a door against them, and when Morris, one of the conductors, atteroßt ed to force his way in, Brown struck him a heavy blow in tne side, and knocked him down. The rest of the defendants con ducted themselves very quietly, and accompanied the officers to the watch-house without a murmur. The private information upon which the warrant was issued, we understand, charged the defendant Noel with being the, keeper of the house, but no one came forward in support of that charge, and the officers being asked separately if they wer s prepared to swear that he was, said they were not. They had no proof whatever of that fact. A rouge et noir and une deux einque tables, with all the l 3ll ' raphernalia attached to the two games, were produced by tug officers, together with the sum found in the bank. Mr. ALLEY shortly addressed the Magistrate (G. R. 2 41 I f ' s suutt, Esq.) for the defendants, and complained strongly n ' the act of Parliament which authorized the issuing of such tf warrant as this, and such proceedings upon it. The act, veld"' was passed in the reign of Henry VIII., had for a long tim,f, remained a dead letter on the statute books, and it was on l y of late years that it had been again acted upon. It woul d have been quite as well had it continued a dead letter, O r sure he was that in modern legislation no such act 0 this would have passed the Parliament. The informer, whoever he was, in the present case, had not the con rage to come forward to support his information b 1 proof. He (Mr. Alley) would advise him the next time tv hit at higher game, and set the police at the club-houses in stead of attacking a minor house, like the one in question.--" Under all the circumstances, considering the small sum of 0 1 °' ney found in the Bank, and the small number of persons in the house, it ought to be regarded as a mere matter of rears' tion, and not of determined gaming. Mr. 111msitur.r. said, the object was to get hold o f the keeper of the house, but as there was no proof to fix that charge upon any one of the defendants, he should discharge them It s ' upon their own recognizance of 401. each, with the exception "• Brown, who had committed an assault upon one of the officer s ' and must find good bail to appear at the Sessions. Before the defendants left the office, Mr. ALLEY begged' to the name of his clients, to thank the officers for the very ten t . perate and delicate manner in which they performed their an'', on this occasion. It was much to be regretted that warrio r ' like this should be issued at all, but it was very satisfactog o when they were, to have them put into the hands of men'" knew how to perform their duty without wounding the feelua" of those against whom their authority was directed. A case of common assault came on to be heard before Sri RICHARD BIRNIE, in which a woman of the town was t " e complainant against her landlady; and, in the course of Inquiry, it came out that the former had been living a long r irn t e ‘ with a patrol of this establishment, of the name Of Maidl lo who, being about to separate from her, had given orders to re' move his furniture from the apartments which they had oc cti : s pied, which she endeavoured to prevent, and was pushed ° by the landlady. This was the assault complained of. I s t Maidment was sent for, and asked how long he had lived W I this woman, and he replied about seven years. Sir R. RIRNIE.—And now you have turned her off to statZ lit Maidment said his reason for separating from her was s " co she had got connected with a very bad set of people, and O . associated with reputed thieves. Sir R.
