It was handed to the magistrate, arid set forth that John Taylor, of Fonterey-street, was lying ill. Mr. Callen had instituted inquiries in the neighbour hood ofthe street named, and the result was, that no such person 'as the- presumed patient exists.

Tl w amount claimed by Mr. Spence was £l5, and the question was-whether Mr. Saul was bound to take charge of the passengers who had been shipped by Mr. Francis Ph Ikerton, of Belfast, his agent ; but whose agency he cot tended had been withdrawn. From the evidence of Mr.. Pinkerton it appeared that he had acted as agent to Mr; Saul since.the beginning of March, and that he had issu ed 240 or 250 tickets on behalf of Mr: Saul since that timt A list of vessels, including the Intrinsic; in which the emigrants should have sailed, was furnished to him by a person in Mr. Saul's office, named Shaw. He had recei 'ved several letters to say he was to forward no more passengers, but he had brought 72 by the Sea King after ward: ;, all of whom had been received by Mr. Saul and for ward( 'd to their-, destination.
