From the Liverpool Journal : —"Bosjesmans, or Bush People, from Southern Africa—lnteresting specimens of a most extraordinary race of human beings have been landed in our tort; they are the Bosjes mans, or Bush People from the interior of South Africa, of which so mach has been written by the missionaries, and the few who have travelled to that far distant region. They are natives of the country berler.ng the Great Orange lifVer, 1,200 or 1.400 miles from Cape Town. They exhibit almost as striking an absence of the intelle-tual or higher faculties as is observable in the skull of that mockery of immunity, the Baboon, while the preponderance of the animal is al most equally as great. In every respect they are calculated to excite the graitest astonishment, and to confirm to the full those " Tales of Travellers" which we have certainly been inclined to look upon with su.picion. We could scarcely have credited that such a nee could be in existence on the earth. That they are genuine no one can doubt ; in proof of which we give the following extract from a Cape Town Paper of the 24th December, which we have just re • ceived We understand the brig Fanny, Captain Wheeler, which recently kn. Table Bay for Liverpool, had on board an unusual kind of exportation, viz., two males and two females of the genuine Bush man species; they are in charge of a Mr. J. G. It. Bishop, who has been at considerable trouble and expense in procuring them from the interior. They are authentic specimens of this diminutive and ra pidly decreasing tribe of Aborigines, found only In Southern Africa. ,s p . os c it a io m n ripbe of ll t ,s h , e B li ac os kh jes o m u :: : see For p r, p ,f a e r s t so i cu r l a L rs oc o h f t Methune's, and Moffatt's Travels in South Al ca. e t n h s e t e h l tat'bs habits a a r n e d h Sixpence. Admission One Shilling, and Reserved Seats Two Shillings and GULP, SILVER, DIAMONDS, PEARLS, and all the most precious and costly gems, are imitated to such perfection, that but very few uninitiated persons can positively tell a paste brooch or a ring from a diamond, the real pearl from imitation, or German Silver from the genuine ; but put them into the hands of the connoisseur, how soon the delusion vanishes when he affirms they are but vile and base imitations. So it is with the most valuable inventions as well as stones and metals. None bu, the inimitable in value are imitated in appearance, and as soon as the consumer (the best connoisseur) attempts to use them, how soon he finds out their utter uselessness. Thus it is with the most valuable of all i inventions ; the celebrated METALLIC RAZOR TABLET o, GEORGE SAUNDERS has been the target for imitation for the last thirty years. To Gentlemen who shave themselves the following query is pro posed.—Why do all the flr-t cutlers in Europe use ad recommend S au nders' Four - sided Ta blet Razor Strop ?

The inquiry into the causes of the death of the unfor tunate woman, Sarah Skinner, took place on Thursday evening betore Mr. Grindon, the city tester. James Irwin, the brother of the deceased, deposed that the deceased, together with her husband and two children, occupied an upper room in the house, No. 4, Limekiln-lane, which was the only apartment they had, the accused being a mechanic. At about half-past seven o'clock on the evening of Tuesday deponent called in upon them to see his sister, who was at home; her hus band)fotbwbaseibg well The witness recommendedlyingdownundressedinbed, andcomplained t' not being well The witness recommended him tohim take some castor-oil, and the wife set herself about pre paring some tea for her husband. They were both of them perfectly sober. While witness was sitting down he noticed that the handle of a small sweeping or hearth brush was broken, and asked how it came so, and the prisoner replied, " I broke it on Silly (meaning his rife) yesterday beating her," and she then comp l aine d of bruises. Witness replied hat it was a shame for a hus uand and wite to be quarrelling and disagreeing, and that if he were married, rather than he would be beating his wite, he would separate from her, if he went to the furthest part of the earth. The husband replied that was what she wanted, and the deceased said, " No, indeed, it is not," and that she had no wish to leave him after having been for several years married. Witness then said, he was sorry that he had beaten- her, for it never belonged to one of her family to be ill-conducted. l'he husband replied, that witness knew nothing about it, and ordered him out of the room. Witness said he would go, and got up to do so, but his sister caught hold of him, and would not let him go, exclaiming, that if he left, her husband would murder her. The prisoner then jumped out of bed, undressed as he was, and struck at her ; a sort of scuffle ensued, in which they all three fell on the bed, and he (witness) endeavoured to hold the husband, to prevent his beating her. He, however, got away, and ran to a shelf, aad seized au i vor y -handled table knife, with which he rats at either witness or the deceased, he could not say which, and drove witness out of the room down two or three of the stairs. The pri soner then returned to the room, and almost immediately witness heard a crash, but supposed it to be the break age of some cups and saucers, and went down stairs, when the first thing that met his view was his sister lying on the pavement of the street in a dying state. Malin witness left the room the window was closed. W. Watkins, a coach painter, was the next witness called, and stated, that having left his work at about a quarter before eight o'clock, on Tuesday evening, he was passing down Limekiln-lane, when on coming near the house No. 4, he noticed the body of a woman falling, and looking up to see whence she fell, he saw the third window up from the street in the act of being closed, although he could not see who it was that was closing it. He ran to the unfortunate woman, who was covered with blood, and lifted her up. She was in a dying state, and was carried into the house, where she very shortly died. A police-constable deposed that he was not on duty at the time of the occurrence, but was standing at the door of the house in which he resided, and which was not more than thirty yards from the house in question. .0 rim' a crash. li e ran _into the eas , ,t, and saw the assistance; -out.nse ennui ariasess.---s—ss- hate dead.

The inquiry was then adjourne d till to when two additional witnesses were pr oduced, one of whom, a woman, deposed to her having - seen a man's the woman a rm in his shirt sleeves closing the window as was falling.

MURDER AT KIDDERMINSTER KIDDERMINSTER, THURSDAY.—The inquest on the body Mr. R. Docker , at t he Town-hall. The excitement con of Phillpotts was re-o p ened last evenin g , before tinned as great as on the previous day. It will be seen from the following report that a num ber of witnesses were examined, and in consequence of the reluctance of one of them t o appear, the Coroner issued a summons for his appearance. Tile evidence of Cornelius Thomas, painter, was first taken. This witness was in the street at the time t, the affray took place. After some quarrelling and fighting he saw Lloyd take refuge in the house of Lockley, and saw Phillpotts and Lloyd strike each other in the door way,'lmmediately on which Phillpotts rushed back into the street covered with blood.lThe witness corroborated I several portions of the evidence given. . by the witnesses on Tuesday evening. He was the party who first saw the knife in the back kitchen. When he picked it up he did not notice that it was bloody, the light being bad. It was a two-bladed knite. The witness on being exa scia:l returnijilosie'rpohalbeginning t o en d. He deposed homeward from a club walk exa mined by the attorney for the prisoner, and by the ju r y , said he did not see any person strike Phillpotts. A n y one might have done so without H h il i l s , ing it. ) T (witness fruiterer, a saw obs e the rv- whole h e t,f nextthe that wtorn h i a t u ne a he encountered a body of nearly 20 people on Lion-hill. They were quarrelling, and witness, it appears, did his best to restore peace among them. Two of the Kidder minster police came up, and carried one man off to the station-house, after which the quarrelling recommenced, and Lloyd and Lockley retired to the house of the latter, as already stated in the evidence of other wit nesses. Lloyd aad Mrs. Lockley stood at the door, and Phillpotts coming to the footpath before Lockley's door, called to Lloyd to "come out,' and he would have a round or two at him." To this Lloyd made answer— " If you'll come here, I will show you the way to Brum magem." Some of Phillpotts's friends then incited him dgotoasttrrikAeoy" him, and Lloyd and Phillpotts struck , a r t d h o e e y. As soon as they had ' struck at each other, X'hillpotts turned back into the str. , et, and cried , in a deep voice, "Oh, dear," and , but bearing this he L: t to h tl e ee n v‘ ' e a h cry oth was in r t a h is e ed do t o h r a w t a his throat had been cut. street, saw the blood The witness was holding Lockley in a chair to pre ventspoutin, from a wound in Phillpott's throat nearly a yard in front of him. The deceased fell to the ground shortly after he ran from Lockley's house, and was picked up by a young man, who held him in a sitting got u h p i , m a and fighting runningwi thin Pardue, posture on the ground. He appeared almost insensible, and witness sent for a surgeon, and fetched Phillpotts's brother's wife The deceased was th en gasping, and died s: drily afterwards. The witness then detailed the circumstances of the finding of the knife, as already de fy,szd to by the witness Thomas. On the knife being found Mrs. Lockley declared that it belonged to Lloyd, but Lloyd denied it. Mrs. Lockley's hand was slightly cut; and the inspector of police having asked her how it },app med, s h e replied that she did not know, but ,sup posed she must h e %e received it in the scuffle when Lloyd turned from the do , 'r. The several partie, were thet questioned by the police, and the prisoner Lloyd was taken off to the police-station, Police-inspector Peters, on being call e d to the spot, about t wo o'clock on Sunday morning, found the de ceased in a dying state, with his clothes saturated with blood, which had flowed upon the ground in consider able quantities. Having looked to the deceased, he entered Lockley's house and searched it with Inspector Merrefield. The knife already spoken of was produced by the witness Thomas, and witness asked Lloyd if it belonged to him. He replied in the negative, but Mrs. Lockley declared that it did, and said that she had bor rowed it of him frequently. On looking at the knife by , the light of a candle, witness found marks of blood upon the handle and blade. Witness told Lloyd that, believing he was the guilty party, he should take him to the sta iion-hout,e, which he did. When at the station-house he examined the prisoner very minutely, and found three spots'ot blood on the back of his right hand, and a stain of blood on his waistcoat. The blood on his hands was quite dry, and two of the spots were as large as a fourpenny piece. The prisoner said he did not know how he got the blood upon him. There were marks of blood on Lockley's front door. Mr. Bradley, surgeon, of Kidderminster, deposed to the nature of the wound in the deceased's throat. The wound was a clean cut wound, nearly three inches long by two deep, and upwards of an inch wide. The external carotid artery was completely severed, as were also the external jugular vein and tour other arteries and veins in the neck. The body on examination was in a most healthy condition, but quite drained of blood in all its parts. There could be no doubt that death had been caused by the wound in,the neck, which was sufficient to have caused death in Oleic minutes. The knife pro duced by Inspector Petelptiaight have inflicted the inju ries of which the deceased died. The knife is sharp, and must have been used with considerable _force, by the party by whom the wound was inflicted. Other witnesses were at hand, but the jury said it was unnecessary to call them, as they were quite satisfied. The CORONER then addressed the jury on this shock ing case, and pointed out the distinction between the crimes of murder and manslaughter. Ile also read over the whole of the evidence, and The jury having retired for a few minutes, rettfrned a verdict of " Manslaughter" against Lloyd, who, accord ingly, stands committed for trial at the Worcester as sizes, to be held next month. THE MURDER IN MARYLEBONE. INQUEST ON THE BODY. Last evening, at six o'clock, a most respectable jury was empannelled before Mr. Mills, deputy-coroner for the western division of Middlesex, at the Carpenters' Arms, Adam-street West, Bryanston- square, to investi gate the circumstances connected with the death of Mary Stowell, the aged woman alleged to have been murdered by a woman named Mary Ann Hunt, on the night of Tuesday last. The jury having viewed the body, which lay in the back kitchen of the house, No. 40, Adam-street West, the evidence was entered into. Charles Battersby, police-constable 124 D, was first sworn. He said, on the morning of Wednesday last, I found the deceased dead in the back kitchen of the house, No. 40, Adam-street West, at about a quarter-past five o'clock. About a quarter-past four on the same morn ing, I was passing through Adam-street West, and saw a woman, named Mary Ann Hunt, put her head outside the street door of No. 40. She had her bonnet on, and the moment she saw me she drew her head back and closed the door. I thought this looked suspicious, and I concealed myself. About a quarter before five the same woman came out with two bundles ; but seeing me she threw the bundles in again, and then went in and shut the door. Shortly after the door was opened, and I got my hand in, and forced it open. I then saw Mary Ann Hunt in the passage, and said "Do these bundles belon g to you?" She said " Yes." I said she was not an honest woman, or she would not have tried to avoid the police. She said she lived up stairs with an old lady, and I could go up and see if I liked. She went up a few stairs, and said "I suppose it is no use telling you a lie." I said "No, nor a thousand, unless I see the old lady." She then said she lodged with the old lady in the front kitchen. I went down stairs with her, and she said, "It is no use knocking, she is as deaf as a stone." I went into the area, and on looking through the window, saw the room was quite empty. I said, " This is the second lie you have told me, when are we to come to the truth? As we passed back towards the back kitchen door, my shoulder touched it, and she then said, "You have come to the truth now, but don't say I did it, for I haven't seen her since last night." The woman Hunt had a reti cule on her arm, and sne took a pound's worth of silver from it, and said she would give it me if I would let her go. I said, " I was suspicious before, but I am confi dent now that something is wrong." I then took her up to the persln who iivPd in the shop, and she identified the woman as living with the deceased in the back kitchen. I then took her down stairs again, and atter knocking at the door without effect, I went into the yard to look in at the windoiv, and whilst I was doing as 411431r1eu _ „ trying to strangle herself. I then took her up, anL having given her into custody of another constable, I went down stairs and got into the back kitchen by means of the window. I then discovered the body of the deceased lying with her head under the grate, with the rope I now produce tied tightly six times round her neck. I found a great deal of blood on my hands, and then saw her face was covered with blood. It appeared to me, from the deceased's hands being up, that she had struggled very much. Her cap was by her side. Saw the m :rks of a severe blow on the left jaw, appa- Herly inflicted with a poker or some such instrument. hair was completely saturated with blood. After the discovery. I ran up stairs, and having sent the woman Hunt to the station-house, I sent for Mr. Moat, a surgeon, who came in a few minutes. The person who committed the act must have got out of the kitchen win dow as the door was locked, and I found the key under the body. There was no money in the room, but I have two watches, a brooch, ring, and other trinkets, which I found in deceased's pockets, and her daughter has iden tified them as the deceased's property. On examining the woman Hunt at the station I found that the gown she had on at the time I took her into custody was covered with blood. It was stained on the left arm to the extent of throe or four inches. There were several spots of blood on the breast and front of the gown. Her hands were clean, and there was an appear ance as if she had attempted to wash some of the blood from the wrist of the gown. The witness here produced the poker, which was covered with blood and hair, as also the clothes of the accused, for examination by the coroner and jury. Susannah Nisbett examined—l reside at No. 40, Adam-street West. I last saw the deceased alive about three o'clock on the afternoon of Tuesday. I was then in the yard, and deceased was on the kitchen stairs. She then appeared as usual. The woman Mary Ann Hunt lived with the deceased, and was, I believe, a set.- vant out of place. She had lived ten or eleven weeks as a fellow-lodger with the deceased. I last saw Hunt about nine o'clock on Tuesday night, coming along the passage from the kitchen stairs. She held down her head and appeared ashamed. I heard Hunt quarrelling with the deceased on Monday night, and in the course of it I heard one of the voices, which I believe to be Hunt's, say, "I will do for you." Sarah Sinclair, another lodger in the house where the murder took place, stated, that she did not see deceased alive after three o'clock on Tuesday. About half-past nine o'clock I saw the accused, Mary Ann Hunt, lying on the kitchen stairs. I had a conversation with the deceased at three o'clock on the Tuesday afternoon. De ' ceased asked me it I heard her quarrelling over night with Hunt, as she was afraid to go to bed, as Hunt said she would do for her. I advised her to lock Mary Ann Hunt out, and we then parted. The witness Nisbett was recalled, and in answer to a question, stated, that she had heard the accused, Hunt, say that she knew the deceased was an old miser, and had got plenty of money in that drawer, pointing to one in the kitchen. Elizabeth Wills, the daughter of the deceased, stated that she took tea with her mother on Sunday, when she said she wanted to get rid of Hunt as a lodger, as she would have a man come and visit her. She said she became acquainted with Hunt at Colonel Wyndham Smith's, where she had been at service, and having left her place, she took her to lodge with her. She had seen her mother take money from a drawer in the kitchen. Constable Battersby said he found the drawer in ques tion open with a key in it, but it was perfectly mpty. Another daughter of deceased said, her mother had told her she was saving a little money to bury herself deuntly. She was 78 years of age. Mr. Hayman said, I am the landlord of the house, No. 40, Adam-street West, but reside at 43. I was called in on Monday evening on account of the quarrel betwee Hunt and deceased. The deceased said Hunt had bee n abusing her because she asked for her rent. On speak ing to Hunt she said deceased was avvetous old wretch and would not lend her daughter 6d., although she bad plenty in that drawer, pointing to a drawer in the' kitchen, and that she had seen it. Mr- W. Crofton Moat—l reside at 28, Upper Berke ley-street, and at half-past five o'clock on Tuesday morn ing I was called to see the body. It was stone cold, and the limbs were rigid. Blood was flowing from the nose an d mouth. I found the cord produced tied six times round the neck, but it was not tight enoh to rodhad uce strangu l a tion. My impression is that the deceased been dead about eight hours. I have, by order of the Coroner, made a post mortem examination. Externally blood had flowed over the chest and right arm, and the head laid in a pool of blood. On the right side of the scalp there was a mark of violence, but the skull was ymosis ex s i ted around the right eye; sound. Great ecch prominent,caused by a severe bruise ; the the ) tongue e 'e p w ro a j s e projected three -quarters of an inch beyond the gums. The marks on the neck did not indicate that the cord was tig mosis extendinght. 111-!cler the left from side the of the jaw there was ecchy A similar mark was n e ar the esphiinnaltovetrhteebagle. The ribs on both sides were very extensively fractured, indeed broken quite rough. There was great congestion of the vessels of the chest aroun.l the fractures. The rings of the pipe . were fractured by violence and the t rochea wind g urged with b lood. The lungs were crushed by the fr ' t: ctured ribs. The cause of the deceased's death was t h e r ush o f blood into the air vessels of the lungs, caused by the crushing in of the ribs upon them. The ribs m►ght have been broken in by stamping with the feet, but I should think it was done by a larger surface. I believe that she was first injured over the right eye by an instrument at lea3t two inches in circumference. I do not think the poker produced was the weapon used. I have no doubt that death has been produced from the crushing in of the chest. I ha►e seen the gown produced, and I have no doubt the spots on them are marks of blood. Elizabeth Quarterrnan proved that the cord produc'd was the part of a clothes-line she had placed along the passage of the kitchen's in the house where deceased resided. There being no further evidence, some cPscussion en sued between theDeputy-Coroner and jury as to the non production of the accused before the c..urt. The DEPUTY-CORONER then proceeded to sum up the evidence, and the jury, atter a short deliberation, re turned a verdict of " Wilful murder" against Mary Ann Hunt, and the Deputy-Coroner issued his warrant tor her committal to Newgate- The inquiry did not terminate until a late hour. LAW INTELLIGECE. ROLLS' COURT, June 4 ATTORNIT•GENEILAL V. GILBERT.- NO EDWARD'S GRAM MAR-SCHOOL DT BIRMLNOHAM. The ATrOILNEY-GXNERAL replied to-day at considerable length in this case. The matter came before the Court upon an ex-officio information filed by her Ma jesty's Attorney- on the recommendation of th e Charity Co ers, made so long ago as September, 1835, for theintirpese of settling a scheme for the administra tion of a charity, to set aside certain leases of the charity property alleged to have been improperly granted, to take an account of the profits accruing to .the lessee in respect of the property, and for the application-of the income, as to part thereof at least, in a manner different from the present usage. From the statement of Counsel, it appeared that a Mr. John Milward, who was born in Birmingham, received part of his education at Brasenose College, Oxford, and resided for a con siderable period of his life in Haverfordwest, being desirous of bestowing some lasting benefit on those three places, inserted a provision for that purpose in his will, bearing date the 10th of June, 1654. The clause was to this effect :—And in respect of my estate, with the appurtenances in Bordesley, in the county of Warwick, now let for a term to Michael Hunt, at the rent of 261. a year, and all my right in the house and premises with the appurtenances, in the town of Birmingham, called the Red Lion, I devise the same to the bailiff of Birmingham for the time being, the principal of Brasenose College, Oxford, for the time being, and the mayor of the town and county of Haver fordwest, and their successors, to hold the same to the uses hereinafter mentioned; as to the first two years after my decease, that the rent of the estate be paid by Michael Hunt to my executrix, for the five daughters of Jenkins Howell, of Haverfordwest, and for the residue of the term, 8/. 13s. 4d., one-third part of the annual rent, to be paid to Michael Hunt, by the directi on o f the bailiff; to the school of Birmingham, for the maintenance and use of the school master, 81. I3s. 4d., by a like direction of the mayor, &c , to the school at Haverfordwest, for the sc h oo l master, an d 8/. 13s. 4d. to Brasenose College, Oxford, for the part main tenance and education therein of a scholar to be placed or sent there by the schools of Birmingham and Haverfordwest in turns; and the income of the Red Lion to be applied in three equal shares for the use of the college and the schools. And after the expiration of the existing lease of the estate in Bordesley, the same as well as the Red Lion was to be let at an improved rent by fine or otherwise, so that a rent of 26/. be always reserved as before, and if a fine be taken, that it be equally for the schools and the college. And the testator appointed Elizabeth Thomas his execu trix. After the death of the testator the trusts of the will were carried out in this way. The principal of Brasenose College, the mayor of Haverfordwest, and the schoolmaster of Birmingham, leased the property at first together, and afterwards separately, and the rents and profits were received by them and divided equally, and ultimately, when they began to lease separately, each re ceived his own share. The schoolmasters of Birmingham and Haverfordwest, however, each received the entire of the one-third of the proceeds, but the college retained their one third for their own use, except Qui sum of 81. 13s. 4d., which they paid to a scholar when there actually was one sent up by the schools, but which they also retained for their own use when there was no scholar. After the parties began to make leases separately of their respective shares, which was as far back at all events as 1710, the leases were for a teat of twenty-one years, at a rent of 261, renewable every seven years on payment of a fine. This continued till the year 1762, in which year the mayor of Ha verfordwest granted a lease for ninety-nine years, at 881. a year, the Birmingham School and the College con tinuing to let as before. In 1829 the Birmingham School granted a renewal of the lease of their third, at a fine of 158/. 175., and in 1838, Dr. Jeune, the then master, agreed with Mr. Taylor, the lessee, for the renewal of that lease, but subject to the approbation of the Court, the information having been filed. Dr. Jenne had got the appointment of Dean of Jersey, and, there fore, wished to exercise his right to renew before leav ing the school. The information sought to establish the right of the scholar sent from Birmingham or Haverford west to the whole of the one-third profits of the estate, whether in the shape of rents or fines, and of course to de prive the college of the beneficial interest therein; but it did not prop,so tty disturb the apnlicatlon of the funds T-thinlAlT—a-a--gi.i4h:iffoLV,:riV'coasnlcYlu°sion of the Attor ney-General's reply to-day, postponed giving . judg ment, in order to afford all the parties an opportunity o f seeing whether or not some arrangement could be come to among them. The case was ultimately ordered to stand o ver to the 1 1 th Of the present month. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, June 4. (Sittings in Banco.—Trinity Term.) IN THZ MATTER OF THOMAS SUNNING. Mr. PAsSILEY moved, this morning, that Thomas Binning, brought up out of custody on a writ of habeas corpus, ob tained yesterday, be forthwith discharged. The prisoner had been committed to custody for the non-payment of an i ns t a lment of a debt owing by him, and which. he was or dered to pay off by instalments, after hearing the statement of his circumstances, by one of the judges of the County Courts. The Bth and 9th Victoria, chap. 127, sec. 1, gives power to the judge to commit a debtor to prison for not more than forty days for any fraud, or concealment of his ability to pay, and for non-payment of such instalments of the debt as, after hearing the case, the judge may deem him to be capable of paying. In the applicant's case he failed to pay an instalment of his debt thus ordered to be paid; and on proof of this, to the satisfaction of the judge ex parte by the creditor, the applicant was committed to gaol. The Learned Counsel now raised several technical objections to the sufficiency of the warrant of commitment; and also urged as the chief ground why the prisoner should be dis charged, that before any such commitment, on default of paying an instalment, the prisoner was entitled to be heard, because the punishment to be awarded was discretionary, the statute enacting that it should not be " more than forty days," and he might be able to show a sufficient reason to the judge to excuse the default or to mitigate the punishment. This was the chief argument relied on, and it is not neces sary, the judgment being founded on this, to notice the other objections. Mr. PYTERSDORFF, on behalf of the creditor Or a party interested, contended that this was not a penal enactment, but a power given to the creditor, suspended on the pertorm ance of the condition of payment. It gave the creditor a limited ca. sa. against the debtor. An arrest of a debtor on an ex parte statement was not unusual. An arrest on mesne process was always on ex parte statement ; for notice to the debtor would defeat the whole object of the creditor in mak ing the application to a judge for the warrant. So notice here to the debtor might have the same effect. He might aoscond and avoid the arrest. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE said, the Court had looked very anxiously at the question which had arisen on this part of the statute, it having come before another Court, which bad not be able to come to a satisfactory conclusion upon , the very en Learned Judges of that Court differing as to the construction of the statute. The Court thought that this return was not sufficient, and that the defendant was en titled to be discharged by reason of the insufficiency of the warrant under which he was taken into custody. This gave a ta tute was to a consi terable extent penal, because it power of imprisonment not bay of satisfaction of the debt. If a party was taken upon a ca ` pias ad satisfaciendum the im prisonment suffered under that writ was a satisfaction of the debt; but here it was simply used apparently by way of punishment or coercion, and the party was sub jected to an imprisonment which was to vary accord ing to the circumstances of his particular case. It appeared by the section in question that, if a party wished to enforce payment of his debt, he was to apply to some one of the Courts for an order on his debtor. 1 The debtor was to be summoned, and an inquiry was to take place on certain matters. One of those matters was the debtor's means of p:tyment, and the judge was to exetcise a discretion as to the time for the payment of the debt, which was to be regulated by the means of the debtor to pay ; and the judge had the power of imprisonment for the concealment of those means or for failure of pay ment ; but that was not a satisfaction of the debt, it was a punishment. If a judge found that a debtor had the means to pay and would not pay, the judge had the power of committing him. It was obvious that it was material at all times to know when the debtor had the means of payment. The general purview of the Act seemed to be this, that it was inhuman to send a man to prison for non-payment of his debt when he had not the means of pay ing it, reserving power to punish him for fraudulently with holding the debt if he had the me ans of p a y ing it. Ajg was to inquire into the then c ircumstances of theparty, and as to his future probab le means of paying e It was enly on the presumption that he had not the prese nt means of payment that the jThe n udgc i 1 wuf time was au th or ised to grant time for pay ment. gran ted in reference to the debtor's means of payment, an h d power of c( ) appeared that judge, d p , ay t : h m e j en t ud l-as e hot made according to in t . e What was tobe the da to ys. be formed with regard to omi b tr i uadanneptr of h d at not io d n exceed e t e he i n g flirt judgment 3' the time for which the debtor was to be committed ? Could it be doubted that the debtor's means of payment must be one of the essential points of the inquiry ? And if it could the j ud g e by possibility make an effectual inquiry into a person's means of payment unless he heard the debtor, who might be the only person to know his means ? Many circumstances might exist, either of hboadvielyhommisefoarhtsunofe or of knowing.

The Court found the statute based altogether on the principle that the debtor should not be n • p•s° ne dwho had not the means of paym en t. H e t h ou ght, therefoethat the warrant was defective, and th a t th e p r i so er was therefore, to his discharge. Their Lordships severally gave judgments concurring with that of the Lord Chief Justice. The prisoner was, therefore, ordered to be discharged. PRICV. SD. COURT OF BANKRUPTCr i - Jane 4.

Mr. Warrington having been called to the chair, Mr. STaurr proceeded to state to the debenture holders what had been done by himself and his colleagues to carry out the resolution agreed to at the last meeting. They had addressed letters to each of the trustees, and to Mr. W. A s Arnold, the mortgagee in possession of the theatre. From Mr. Hallett they had received an answer, stating that e h p e pl h iee ad b n ie o to acc th o e un p t u s rp t o o se ex s h of ibi t t, he ne t y rn er st h , a a v n i d ng for re a c n e y ive in d io fu rm nd a s . tion on the subject he referred them to Mr. Johnson, of Chancery-lane, who had drawn u the trust deed, and who had been deputed by Mr. W. Arno p ld to act in the affairs of the trust, to keep them distinct from his accounts as mortgagee. From Lord Saltoun they had received an answer stating that his Lordship had never received any monies applicable to the trust; and from Sir Andrew Barnard and Mr. S. J . Arnold no a nswer h ad been received. :Fro m Mr. Walter Arnold a l etter had been received , referring to his letter to M r . St rutt o f t h e 16th of April, for his answer to the request. Since then, Mr. Walter Arnold had addressed s letter to the debenture holders, which letter he would wish to have read, and to some of the state ments in which he should feel it his duty t r o ead r a e . p fe ly lwt , de(Theye since,lette s andwhich which app i e a s rdeadt dated d n 31 emostt May , of t t he newspapers w asthen denied the truth of the charges which had been brought against the writer, and stated that the expenses incurred would all but absorb the ideal balance which Mr. Strutt wished to make it appear he had in hand ; stated that the private box to which allusion had been made had been spe cially reserved for Mr. W. Arnold's father, and for his use, wnen the theatre was let • denied that it was because t difilE Mai. an o inat tiiernum - quit The letter concluded by saying that he 'should be sorry to foreclose his mortgage, but that if he were driven to the adoption of hostile proceedings, they would be conducted as vigorously as they wonld be commenced reluctantly- Mr. Strutt denied that he had made any charge against Mr. W. Arnold. All that he bad done had been to take that gentleman's own state ments, and to show that they required explanation, and he had said before as he said now, that it was the duty of Mr. W. Arnold to be present to answer for himself.-- (Hear, bear.) With regard to the sum charged for insurance, the accuracy of his statement concerning which Mr. W. Arnold had denied, all he could say was, that he had received his information from one of the directors of the West of England Fire-office. (After going over several of the items of account Mr. Strutt continued.) With re gard to the private box, it had been reserved for the use of Mr. Arnold's father and his friends every night, but that did not give Mr. Arnold a right to let it, and deprive the lessee of twelve guineas a week for having the best box in the theatre ; it would be sure to be let first. The Marquis of Exeter had never let his box, and Mr. Arnold might as well sell the eight double orders which he had the privilege of writing every night. With regard to his giving to the theatre, it happened in this way : — After he and Mr. Seeley had ha d the theatre some time, and had retrieved its prospects, they applied for a renewal of the term, and Mr W. Arnold refused to let them have the theatre except they bound themselves to pay a rent, increasing by 2001' every two years, and to spend annually a certain sum in decorating the theatre. Last year during the warm weather they lost 1,600/., as nothing during such weather would attract people to the theatre. They applied to Mr. Arnold to assent to any reduction in the rent (they were now paying him 2,9001. per annum), which he refused, as also to forego the increase of 2001. a year upon the present rental, and they. knowing that at such a rent the theatre must be carried on at a loss, had given him notice to quit. Mr. MAYHEW knew that when the private box was first given to Mr. Arnold it was not given with the idea that he was to let it. He knew Mr. W. Arnold to be a very honourable man, and therefore did not think he would, put his threat of foreclosure into execution. Still it was ill-advised and unwise in him to hold out such a threat to those who had come forward to assist his father is his difficulties.—(Hear.) He also thought he acted im properly in paying . himself the interest on his mortgage, while, at the same time, he had neglected to pay the ground rent.

Mr. MILLAR, of Bath, had advanced his money to assist Mr. Arnold, and he thought it was a very ungrateful return for such kindness for Mr. W. Arnold to turn round upon them with a threat of foreclosure. He thought he was a very im proper person to be trusted with the management of the property, and he hoped steps would be taken to remove him.
