LAW INTELLIGENCI;:. COURT OF CHANCERY, DEC. 6. EX PARTE PENTON'.-LUNATIC PETITION. Mi. HART raid this was the petition of Georg Penton and Robert Bruton, his sister's husband. It prayed hii Lordship to refer to the Master to inquire and report the amount of the lunatic's estate, and to order Mr. Arnold and wife to he exa mined by the Master. It also prayed that certain letters and writings should be brought into the Master's Office. A com mission had been issued, and a jury had returned a verdict of, lunacy, and that the lunatic had been without lucid intervals . since, the 25th of May last. He was attended by Dr. J. Gil-. man. He had been permitted to live without restraint in Gate house, Highgate, from the 25th of July to the 25th: of August, although lie had a handsome house of his own in Hornsey-lane. The petitioners apprehended that the lunacy had been increased by this treatment. Mr. Arnold and his wife had taken pos session of his house. Arnold had no property-, and had lately . been discharged from the King's Bench as an insolvent debtor.' The lunacy was not violent. It consisted in apprehensions that persons were eternally attacking his character. Since the 25th of August, he was confined in Fisher-house, - Islington. By am order of the Court, it had been referred to the Master to appoint' a committee, and to report who was next of kin. The peti-. tioners were informed that various debts had been contracted at Gatehouse, which ought to have been liquidated: They com plained, too, that two intimate friends of the lunatic were re fused permission to see him since he was confined in the lunatic asylum, without an . order from Dr. Gilman. The petitioners submided that his Lordship would consider this refusal highly improper on the part of Gilman and Arnold,' and prayed that his Lordship would relieve the lunatic from such restraint, by referr;ng it to the 'Master to report upon the state of the lunatic. The statements of the petition were supported by affidavits. Gilman and Arnold, on the other hand, in their affidavits, used abusive terms respecting the petitioners, and asserted Moorhouse and Thompson to be improper persons to see the lunatic, because Moorhouse had large dealinlLS in stock mat ters, in which the lunatic had been involved. Now .those per sons were not only desirous of seeing the lunatic, but they in terested themselves in hi. affairs. The conduct of "which the petition complained arose' in some measure from views enter tained respecting the eommitt-teship, for Ahich there was likely to he a contest. Mr. HEALD appeared for the next of kin, who had made no affidavits, because he had not becn aware that affidavits would have been made against the petiticn. Arnold made affidavit that the petitioner, Pentoll, had been Limself discharged under the Insolvent Act, and was, therefore, not better than the de ponent. Messrs. WIIITMARSH and WILLis followed on the same side. Mr. PHILLIMORE opposed the petition, for ~h ich he con tended that there was no pretence. Mr. Street, t'ie so li c i tor . was in reality the petitioner. It ought to have been shown that Mr. Arnold and his wife*had refused to deliver up deed s and to render an account. The fact was that no demand of that kind had been made With respect to any unnecessary ex pence, the Master, in appointing a Committee, would Ake care to guard against that. Moorhouse and Thompson, and Mt. Street, were refused, because it was highly Improper they should see the lunatic at their pleasure. Medical men were the best judges of the persons and times fit for seeing a lunatic. It was sworn by Messrs. Annandale and Gilman, that the visits of those persons were most likely to irritate his feelings. They had informed the lunatic that Arnold and his wife were his greatest enemies, by which he became more discomposed: It was in consequence that it had been directed they should not be suffered to visit him without the order of the medical man. Sir George Tuthill had been called in, and certified that the house in which the lunatic was confined was a fit place for him. Dr. Burrows 'certified that he ought to be placed under restraint: The LORD CHANCELLOR.—But Sir George Tuthill does not certify that there may not be a fitter place. * Mr. PHILLIMORE.—It was not desired that he should be confined there, if his Lordship thought otherwise. • Mr. HART rose to reply. The LORD CIIANCELLOR.—The motion must be granted of course, without reflecting on any persons. Let Arnold and his wife state the property which came into their hands, and let them and Mr. Gilman deliver all letters, papers, and deeds re lating to the property, and all letters written by the lunatic which had been stopped. • Mr. HART.—AII letters allowed to be written by a lunatic ought to be allowed to reach their destination. The LORD CHANCELLOIL—I am not sure of that. A lu natic may be amused by writing letters which ought not to be forwarded. Mr. Street said something of the Post-office. The LORD CHANCELLOR.—The Master's office is the best post-office for a lunatic. Let Mr. Street be permitted to visit the lunatic. The subject may by again mentioned to the Court. Let the question of costs be reserved at present. THE PORTSMOUTH CAUSE. The LORD CHANCELLOR, while the preceding case was going on, said, that seeing Messrs . . Horne, Heald, and Shad well in Court, he would take the opportunity of mentioning the case of Lord Portsmouth. It had been understood that it would be mentioned this day. A great many affidavits had been sent to him by 'those who opposed the motion, a few days ago. He was given to understand that a groat many Affidavits had been filed on or before Saturday last, in support of the ap plication, but he had not seen them. Mr. SHADWELL said, there were a great many-35 and 22; 57 altogether. • The Loan CHANCELT.OII.—I heard there were 50. They ought to be sent to me withoutdelay. The case ought to be heard as soon us possible, for many reasons. There were re flections against individuals' stash ()light not to *rutin long' undecided. Mr. Sn AD* E thev would be sent 'immediately to his Lordship. The LORD CitvivEtton.—l will read them the first even ing after they shall be sent. I have got no affidavit o❑ the part of those who have made the application, except One from- Mr. Harnilton. • • - • Mr. HEALb said, he had heard that they bad an agent in. Scotland getting affidavits, and • tlyit. the distance was the •rea son assigned for not having► lik,cd their affidavits sooner. After a short interval Mr. SHADWELL said, he had ascer tained that there were nearly 60 affidavits filed, and that they would be sent to his Lordship to-morroi►. • . Mr. HEALD.—Your case must have been originally a rood one when you found it necessary to file sixty additional affidatits. The Lour) CHANCE LLoit.—Ln them be. handed to me to morrow, and I will read theiii immediately. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, DEC. 6. B . CRNASCONI V. REECE. This was an action' to recover the sum of 241. 6s. for a debt contracted by the defendant, in partnership with a person' named Want, since a bankrupt. • The case for the plaintiff was conducted by Mr. Gun- NEY, and Mr. H. Coorgn ; and for the defendant by Mr. SCARLETT• _ It appeared that-the'defendant, who was a physician, • had established a Medical Hall in Piccadilly. Wishing.to form a . similar establishment in Clarendon-square, Somers-town,' he„ entered into a co-partnership with n Mr. Want for that pur-' pose. The plaintiff, who is a plasterer in Chenies-street; Bed rord-square, was employed in fitting up the premises intended for the Medical Hall. His bill was the subject of the present action. _ _ Three of plaintiff's workmen were called, who proved. that Mr. Want and Doctor Reece hathbeen in the habit of giving - Pint'ortlers in the course of work, as to the manner in whiCh it was to be executed. Mrs. Nicholls, the,landlady of the house in Clarendon-square,. stated that she always considered these two - gentlemen as her tenants. Henry Person, a carpenter, employed at the same time, stated that he had been paid for his services with a Bill of Exchange, accepted by Reece and Co., and that Dr. Reece had ordered some beer tor the work men, and desired that it should be charged in the bill to him self and Mr. Want, by which means each party would pay his fair share. • _ _ _ Mr. SCAIiLtTT, for the defence, said he believed there had been some partnership existing on a former occasion, but as he was unable to contradict the evidenceof the workrnen,he would not occupy the time of the •Gourt by any longer address. The Jury immediately found a verdict for the Plaintiff for 241. 6s. LITMORE v. WILSON'. This was an action to recover compensation in daniagCs'. from the defendant, for having maliciously, and without pro- - babie grounds, indicted tbe,p,l3intiff and .seviir.n*er.persons,: - .. • fer a - ccuopiracy.. The case for the plaintiff was conilizeted by ;'qtr. OunNEy tanclflr. Bn ovum( ; and as the cause wasundefended, ncigen- tlenian was employed on the other side. - It appeared, that the plaintiff had rented a house of a person named Norris, the apartments in which he let out to ditierent tenants ; amongst others was a man named Price ; the plaintiff wishing to leave the house, informed his tenants of his inten tion, and sent a notice to hielandlord. This was accepted, and accordingly the plaintiff and his lodgers repared to move their furniture. While in the execution of this design, Mr. Wilson, who is a . brickrnaker in Spa-fields, entered the house, stopped the removal of the furniture, without ,any authority, and left a number of brickmakers in possession of the premises. When asked what was his reason_for this proceeding ? be said, that he was the landlord of Norris ; that the latter owed him a consider able sum of money, and he should ijistrain the goods then in the house. In attempting to do this, he assaulted the wife of the lodger Price. This conduct, on the part of the defendant, pro ducing considerable disturbance, several of the neighbours'came to the assistance of the plaintifrancl his lodgers, and in the result they were enabled to remove their furniture. An action was• brought to recover compensation in dArnages from the defendant, for the assault he had committed on the wife of Price. • When' that c.auselwas first to have come on 4 some witnesses beingabsent, the plaintiff would not proceed with his case ; it was accordingly put off till the next Sittings. In the interim the defendant pre ferred a bill of indictment for conspiracy against. the present: plaintiff, Mr. Price, a man named Reynolds, whose cart had been employed in the removal of the goods, and several other persons who were proent on that occasion, the indictment alleging thatthose persons had unlawfully assembled for the purpose. of interrupting him in distraining the goods which he found on the premises of a person who owed him a sum of money. The Grand Jury found the bill, and the plaintiff and the other parties were taken into custody, and remained so until they could find bail. This, however, did mitprevent Mr. Price from proceeding with his action. At the next Sittings in' the Icing s Bench the trial took place, and he obtained a consider able sum in damages from the defendant. Soon after, the in dictment for conspiracy against . these parties was to have been tried, but when the cause was called on no one appeared to prosecute. These were the grounds on which the action was brought. Several witnesses were called, who proved the circumstance • of Mr. Wilson's attempting to seize the goods ; that in endea vouring to take 'a looking glass . from Mrs. Price, she opposed him; and in the struggle she was severely hurt ; that Reynolds, the owner of the cart, in which the goods were to have been re moved; was at the time of. the affair lying ill in his bed; that when lie was taken iUto custody by the Bench Warrant, after the finding of the Bill for Conspiracy against him, he was ob liged to remain three days and three nights in the watch-house, before he could obtain bail ; anti that several of the persons mentioned in the indictment were merely spectators on the oc casion, who had neither taken any part in the business, nor even seen each other before. It also appeared that it had cost the plaintiff anti the rest of the parties 1371.75. 7d-, to defend them selves on the charge of conspiracy. The Loan CHIEF JUSTIC F. having summed up the evi dence, observed to the Jury that, the point which they had to , consider was, whether there had been probable or reasonable grounds for prosecuting these parties for conspiracy ? If they thought there had been, then it was their duty to find their ver dict for the defendant, but if not for the plaintiff. The Jury having retired about half an hour, returned a ver 'lict for the plaintiff—Damages 4501. ; costs 40s. REYNOLDS V. WII SON. This was another action arising out of the nine transaction,' and brought to recover damages on the same grounds by Rey nolds, the person who lent his cart to remove these goods from, the Louse of the plaintiff in the lost cause. TLis also was an undefended cause. Mr. PATTISON and Mr. PHILLIPS conducted the case on the part of the plaintiff. Thz same evidence was produced, and the Jury, after a short Consideration, returned a verdict for the plain tiff--:Damages 1501. costs 44k. PRICE V. WILSON. This action also arose out of the same transaction. It was brought by Mr. Price, whose wife had been assaulted by the defendant. The Object of the action was the, same as the two foriner cases, and the same evidence was again produced. This was also undefended. The case for the plaintiff was conducted by Mr. GURNEY and Mr. PATTK;off. The Jury, after a short consideration, returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 501. ; costs 40s. BRANSCOth V: BRIDGER. This was an action brought to recover compensation in da mages from the defendant, for having unlawfully seized. the goods of the plaintiff for rent, after a tender had been made of the sum then due, and also for an excessive distress. The case for the plaintiff was conducted by Mr. GURNEY and Mr. JEREMY ; for the defendant by the .OLICITOR GENERAL and MT. CHITTY. It appeared that the plaintiff, Lady Branscomb, occupied some apartments in the defendant's house, who was a tailor in Blenheim -street, Bond-street. Her Ladyship being desirous of going to the country, wished. to give up her lodings. Ac cordingly she sent for an appraiser to value the fixtures, which were her property, that she might either dispose of them to her landlord or to tne next tenant. The day after the appraise. went had been made, the defendant came into the breakfast room of her Ladyship, and after stating that he would give no such sum for the fixtures as the appraiser had fixed as their value, he demanded his rent in rather a'rude manner.. Lady Branscomb offered him 101. 10s. which was the suns due. With out taking any notice of this tender, he ordered some of his Menlo come up stab's, and take poisession of the property in the apartthents. A seizure took place of the whole furniture, the value of which was sworn to amount to about 311. but only a part was taken away and sold, which the plaintiff's• brokers swore to he Worth 251. . The SoLicrron.GsrtitAr.,objected to the plaintiff's pro cAcling on the first count in the declaration, which stated this to be an action •on the case, whereas it was. in fact a trespass, to / proceed to seize for rent, after a tender had been made. - The Lora) (ilium —JUSTICE was of opinion that the plain tiff could not support her action on the first count, but that the case might go.to the Jury on .the second count, the object of which was to obtain compensation for the damages consequent on the seizure. - The 50z.7c4T0t-GENEnAr. called two brokers, who had valued the goods in question, and they swore that the real value of the *property sold was only 131, instead of 23/. as stated by the plaintiff's witnesses. The CHIEF' .1t; sTicr. having summed. up - the evidence, - , observed to the Jury, that the only point now for their consi deration' was, what was the difference between the sum origi nally due, and the value of the property taken by. the :defend ant's broker. Of this point they were to fudge upon the evi dence of the different - appraisers who had been called before them.' The Jury, after a short consideration, returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 5/. costs 40s. • The SOLICITO ft-GENERAL obtained permission from his .I. 4 orciship to move for a ,rule to shew cause why a nonsuit should not be entered, and a new trial granted, on the ground of the plaintiff's incompetency to proceed on the second count. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, DEc. T.OMKIXS v. HILL. The Court was occupied the whole of the dad in hearing this case, which possessed little-interest, except to the' parties im mediately concerned. It was an action to recover damages frdm the defendant, for not having treated a farm, let to him by the plaintiffin a inuthandman-like manner, according to agreement: After hearing the opinions of many witnesses on both sides, as to the treatment of the farm in question, (those on the Bide of the plaintiff avering that the farm was not well used, and those on"the other aide attesting that it wps managed in a husband-like manner), the Jury, without a motlient's hesi tation; returned a verdict for the defendant. CONSISTORY COURT, DEC. 6. THE PRINCIPAL •AND ANCIENTS OIL GRAND, BROTHERS OF Tity SOCIETY OF STAPLE-INN, BY THEIR SYNDIC, BURLEY AND BOYER, •CHURCIIWARDENS OF ST. ANDREW, HOLBORN. In our last report of theproceedings in this Court we gave an abStract of a part of the speech of Dr. Adams, on behalf of the churchwardens of the parish of St. Andrew, Hellion, who are. the parties proceeded against by the Society of Staple-inn, in a cause of perturbation of seats. (See The Sun of the 30th Of NoVember last.) The Learned Counsel, in contending Thr the necessity of strict proof of the prescription or permission set tip by the Society and for which, if that permission was ever granted, a valuable consideration must, in all probability, have been . gvien, though no, such consideration was attempted to be ed)observed that if the right to these pews were conceded to• the principal , ancients, and grand brothers of the Society, therewas nothing to show why or how it could be withheld from other inhabitants of the same extra-parochial district—proprie tors of chambers, for instaece, and students of, t 1 inn. In• the year 1668, the pews appeared to haye been repaired (at the expence of the inhabitants of the inn) for the sum of 141.; having, been marked out in. 16211, anti lint in 1023 ; and in 1709 there was some mention of a sum of 'money, about 4/.,, paid for repairs; but after this last period there was no entry on the Society's books to show that the Society had paid any further sum in compensation for, or consideration of, the pews.. There was, therefore, up to the present year, 1822; not one item. in the lapse of 113 years of this kind,' it being in the mean time most material to the case of the inhabitants of this inn, to show reparations frequently as possible. Yet from 1709 there was an altuns silenti UP?, on:the part of these accounts on the subject. It was little for the gentlemen to show, that till late years they were aecnstomed to go to this church in sonic pomp,. with their beadle bearing his mace, and their butler carrying the keys of the pews before them. The mere possessimtor oc cupation of these pews for any length of time could not give the society a right to. them ; for former churchwardens might have been equally well disposed to resist such a claim, but might have thought an Inn of Court rather formidable anta gonists, and have been, therefore, reluctant to attack them. Sir CHRISTOPHER ROBINSON. this day, on the question of admitting the libels after stating the nature of the cause, which was understood to have been 'promoted with the consent of the minister of the parish, observed that it seemed from the evi dence, that the society's possession of these pews had been dis turbed by the churchwardens alone, . without any application to the ordinary. The Court, • therefore, meant to consider the present suit without reference to any motives as on the part of the ordinary ; but as one between the churchwar dens, and the society alone, so far as any legal effects were likely to result front it. The question, for the Court, then, was, whether the law on these subjects was of such a de scription as shtiuld lead to the dismission of this libel ? Now it had been contended that the society was hardly in act before the Court ; inasmuch as their messuage, in virtue of which they claimed, was extra-parochial ; that the descrip tion of that messuage was not so clear as to admit but that . meaning, as in the course of the argument had pretty clearly been • showin. The Learned - Judge, after citing the stat. 16 Jac.. 2 Boll's Abridgment, f. 24.: Braddyn's Work ; 7 Roll's Abridgement, p. 250; Popham ; -and 'several decided causes in the Terms' Reports, was of opinion that the libel might be admitted, subject only to those alterations in regard to local description which had been suggested by the Counsel at the opening of the Court, ,apd this admission expressly reserving the legal question as to the validity of the Society's claim. THE MOS T NOBLE TAX MARQUIS OF IVF.STMEATH AGAINST THE MARCHIONESS OF WESTMEATH. Dr. - SW.II3EIr. stated that this suit was originally commenced by the Marquis of Westmeath against his Marchioness, in a cause of restimtion of conjugal rights pronitzted by his Lordship. On the part of the Marchioness, an allegation was row prlired, alleging certain charges of adultery as against the Marquis. Dr. JENEIt, who appeared 'for his Lordship, said, he should ()Wet to the 2d, 3d, Bth,.9th.llth, 13th,18th, 19th, and 22d articles of, this allegation, which consisted of no less than 33. In the commencement of the cause, a libel had been given in on the part of his Lordship, to which an allegation of 29 arti cles was ()tiered by her Ladyship, pleading cruelty on his- side by way of answer. That was admitted, ar (I the answers of his Lordship were brought in. Upon these followed the present allegation, containing charges of adulterous connexion between the Marquis and five several females. The stilt was now, there fore, commuted - into one of separation and divorce, by reason of ctuelty and adultery, and the Marquis had, in' fact, become the; party proceeded against. The 2d and 3d articles charged generally, that some time in the year IPI7, the Marquis formed an adul terous intercourse with Sarah, otherwise Jane, Smith, then liv ing as servant with his aunt, the Countess of Olengall; and several times in the years 1817 and 1818 did with 'her commit adultery." Now, this was. much too vague and indefinite. — Specific dates and places ought to be pleaded. The Learned Counsel took the same objection to the allegations touching the Marquis's illicit intercourse with Catherine Flynn, of Mullin gar, and with three other females. Dr. Puns MORE followed on the same side. Dr. 'SWADEY and Dr. LUSIIING'ION contended for the ge neral admissibility of the allegation, and agreed to furnish, where practicable, the names, dates, and places, at present de ficient in the various articles. The JUDGE, subject' to the future making of such altera tions before a Surrogate, or before himselr in chambers, admit ted this allegation. PALACE COURT, DEC. S. A DISSEMBLING LOVER:—CLARKS T. (LASSIE. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, a young lady, against the defendant, a young Man; to recover the sum of 19s. for goods bought by the plaintiff,- and delivered. to the de fendant on her account. The defendant !prying intimated his with to get married to her, after a courtship of some months standing, she was in duced to purchase furniture and. proper - necessaries' for going into housekeeping, and she accompanied his mother to an auction to make 'those purchases ; the mother bid for half a dozen of chairs, and being the highest bidder, they were knocked down to her ; the plaintiff paid 19s„ the sum for which they were bought. - The chairs were sent home •to , the mother, in expectation that her son would marry the plaintiff, but he formed an acquaintance with another lady,. and :got married to her, leaving the plaintiff in sad despair and disap pointment. She then had no other alternative than to sue for the money she advanced, of which this claim fonned onl- a small portion. Evidence being produced to prove the facts set forth in declaration, the Learned Judge summed up, observing tha. the defendant acted so far honourably as to suEr judgment to go by default. The Jury unanimously found a verdict for the plaintiff— Damages, 19s. OLD BAILEY, DEC. 6. BIGAMY. John Geynor was indicted for feloniously marrying with Phcebe-Launing, his former wife, Lydia Seotehman, being alive. Sarah Scotchman deposed, that she knew the,p4soner, and was present at his marriage to her sister Lydia Scotchman, at. Marylebone Church, in 1814. The prisoner lived with her sister for some tinie afterwards, but not regularly, as he waa i►r service, and she went out to nurse. The result of their coha •bitation was four children. Her sister was still alive, and was then in Court. Phoebe lianning deposed, that she was married on the 16th of October, 1818, at St. James's Church, Westminster, to the prisoner, who lived with her for 12 or 14 months. • Michael .Morris a police-officer, who had had the prisoner is custody, stated, that he bad-attended at the two churches where the prisoner had been married, and had examined the registers thereof. He then produced the copies of both, and swore to their correctness. _ _ _ These copies were then put in and read. The prisoner made no defence, but threw himself on the mercy of the Court and Jury. -- _ Being asked if he had any witnesses to call to character, he replied that he had - been a servant in two or three families, whose names he mentioned, and had sent for the heads of them to speak in his behalf. He did not know whether they were in attendance or not. • The crier called their names, but nobody answered. Mr. Barron GARIIONT summed up the case, and the Jury immediately returned a verdict of Guilty. Mr. Baron GAnnow—This is a crying offence, and one which the Court must take every opportunity in its power of punishing severely. A set of men get acquainted with young women, marry them, live with them for a short period, and then ruin them anti all their prospects by leaving them when they have a family of young children to support. They then pay their addresses again to the first engaging young woman they meet, and conclude by plunging her into the same distress in which they have left their former victim. The law upon this crime has been lately much improved by the wisdom of the Legislature, and we are now empowered to visit it with the punishment of transportation. I am going to make a memoran dum to inflict it in this case._ • The prisoner in this case was a coarse heavy-looking man.— The woman, Phoebe Lanning, whom he had trepanned into marriage•with 'him, was crying bitterly all the time she was giving her evidense. HARDENED OFFENDER. R4,:bard :Thompson was indicted for stealing from the person of i w hamYanoven, Esq., of the Ordnance Office, a silk handkerchief, his property. The prisoner was Seen to take .the handkerchief from the pocket of . the prosecutor, and was intantly sectired.—The Jury found him Guilty. • The RECORDE R in passing judgment, said, the prisoner had been in custody before. He was an old offender, and the sen tence of the Court was, that he should be transported for the term of his natural life. clothes." Can't you give me another day to mend my old Catharine BayVcs and Susannah Weisley were found guilty of stealing, and Mary Mumford of receiving, knowing them to bestolen, various articles of wearing appafel, the property of Harriet Johnstone and of Henry Coe. The two thieves were lodgers in the house of the female prosecutor, and while she was absent, had taken the opportunity of decamping with_ the property. THE CASE OF Me.. DUNCAN II4CALLUM. Mr. BOLAND filed an affidavit for the pursuer in the case of Duncan M'Callum, charged with having forged a delivery of some bales of cotton. goods, on the ground that the principal wit ness against the prisoner had not appeared before the Grand Jury upon his recognizance ; but had written a letter stating, that if the East India Company would abandon the capital charge, he would indict the prisoner for the fraud. Upon these grounds Mr. liolland prayed that the case might stand over till the next Sessions, that the recognizance of the witness who had refused to come forward might be estreated, and the recog nizances of the others extended. The prisoner denied all collusion with the witness, com plained of the hardship to whi'h he would be put by the delay of his trial, expressed his readiness to go on with it ,at present, and in the event of that not being done, hoped he would be ad mitted to bail. The COURT ruled that the case should stand over; if the witness did not appear in time for the Grand Jury, ordered that witness's recognizance to be entreated, that of the others to be extended, and in the mean time declined holding thg prisoner at bail. AVARICIOUS SNAIL.—We relate the following fact just as it has been communicated to us by a most respecta ble Gentleman :—A friend of his, who resides at Tranmere, some time ago lost from his breast a gold pin, about one in , h and a half in length, with a small brilliant head. Five weeks afterwards, a snail was observed in his garden, having appa rently subsisted on a cast-away apple, in the remaining part of which it was then reposing.—The person who noticed it, per ceiving something bright at its mouth ; and on examination l e found the lost breast-pin, the whole of which, except the head, had been swallowed by the snail, without proving fatal to it— ( Liverpool Mercury.) UTILITY OF SPARROWS.—Mr. BRADLY, in his General Treatise on ilusbaniry and Gardening, shows that a pair of sparrows, during the time they have their young to feed, destroy on an average, every week, 3360 caterpillars. This calculation he founds upon actual observation. He discovered that the two parents carried to the nest forty caterpillars in an hour. He supposed the sparrows to enter the nest only during twelve hours each day, which would cau se a consumption of 480 caterpillars. This sum gives 3360 caterpillars extirpated weekly from a garden. But the utility of these birds is not limited' to this circumstance alone, for they likewise feed their young with butterflies and other winged insects, each of which, if not destroyed in this manner, would be the parents of hun dreds of caterpillars. USE OF THE TOES.—It IS remarkable to what excellent use the toes are applied in India. In England, it is difficult to say whether they are of any use at all ; but in India they are second fingers ; and in Bengalee, are indeed called the • " feet fingers." In his own house, a Hindoo makes use of them to fasten the clog to his feet, by means of a button, which slips between the two middle toes. The tailor, if he does not thread his needle with his toes, twists the thread with them ; the conk holds his knife with his toes while he cuts fish, vegetables, &c.; the joiner, the weaver, and several other mechanical trades, all use them for a thousand purposes, for which an European would never think of employing them. In England, however, there have been some instances of a more ingenious use of the toes, than any ydt mentioned of the Hindoos. Some years ago, a maimed sailor in England use to write with his toes ; 'and an other person was exhibited, who not only wrote, but cut out watch papers, with great precision and ingenuity, with a pair of scissors, which she held in her toes.
