JAMES PEARL, Esq. [Commander.]
Obtained the rank of lieutenant on the 21st Dec. 1808, and was second of the Mediator fire-ship, Captain James Wooldridge, at the attack of a French squadron near l’Isle d’Aix, in April 1809. Speaking of this service, Mr. James says:–
“Several of the fire-ships were ignited and abandoned long before they got abreast of even the northernmost of the two vessels stationed as guides. Others, again, were admirably conducted; especially the Mediator, the largest and most efficient of the whole. This ship, from her great weight, and the strength of the wind and tide, broke the boom, and thus afforded a clear passage to the others. So determined was the Mediator’s gallant commander to see the service he had engaged in properly executed, that himself and the officers and men who had volunteered to accompany him nearly perished, along with their vessel. The gunner was killed, and Captain Wooldridge, Lieutenants Nicholas Brent Clements and James Pearl, and one seaman, were blown out of the ship, the three latter slightly, but the Captain very severely scorched.
The fortunate circumstance of the Mediator (formerly a 32-gun frigate) being fitted as a fire-ship, was the means of the success with which the British arms were so gloriously crowned, as all the other fire-vessels were so small and light, being mostly transport brigs, that none of them could possibly have forced the boom. She was not set on fire till long after the boom had been broken, many minutes after the vessel conducted by Lord Cochrane had exploded, nor until she was within the buoys of l’Océan 120, flag-ship of Vice-Admiral Allemand. Her gallant commander was immediately ​advanced to post rank, and presented by order of his sovereign with a gold chain and medal, and by the Patriotic Society at Lloyd’s with a sword value 100l. Lieutenant Clements was made a commander and received a sword value 60l. Lieutenant Pearl was presented with one of similar value, but, unfortunately, he had not served sufficient time as a commissioned officer to render him eligible for promotion.
In the ensuing summer. Lieutenant Pearl was appointed to the Harpy sloop, Captain George William Blamey (formerly commander of the Mediator), under whom he served in that vessel and the Comet 20, at the reduction of Walcheren, and on various foreign stations for upwards of five years. He obtained his present rank on the 29th Sept. 1827.

RIGHT HON. HENRY JOHN, LORD SELSEY, Fellow of the Royal Society. [Post-Captain of 1812.]
This officer is the second son of the late Lord Selsey, by Hester Elizabeth, daughter of George Jennings, of Newsells Park, co. Herts, Esq. and cousin to the late Marquis of Clanricarde.
He obtained the rank of Lieutenant, Jan. 5, 1807; and served as first of the Cornwallis frigate. Captain W. A. Montagu, at the capture of Amboyna, in Feb. 1810: his conduct on that occasion was highly spoken of in the public despatches. A very gallant exploit subsequently performed by three boats, under his direction, is thus officially described:–
“H.M.S. Cornwallis, at Sea, Mar. 3, 1810.
“Sir,– Having chased a Dutch man-of-war brig, during the whole of the first day of March, we observed her take refuge in a small bay on the north side of the island of Amblaw; and as the wind was light and variable, and night approaching, I sent the yawl, cutter, and jolly-boat, under the ​command of the Hon. Lieutenant Peachey, assisted by Mr. Garland, master, and Mr. Sanderson, master’s-mate, to bring her off. After a fatiguing pull the whole night, they found themselves at day-light close to her, when she was boarded in a most gallant manner, in the face of a heavy fire of grape and musketry, and defended bravely by pikes and swords; in a few moments she was carried, and proved to be the Dutch national vessel Margaretta, mounting 8 guns, but pierced for 14, and having on board 40 men. She had left Souroubaya nine days, having between twenty and thirty thousand dollars on board, for Amboyna, and supplies of all kinds for Temate.
“Lieutenant Peachey speaks highly of the able support he received from the officers and men under his orders. I am sorry to say, that we had one man dangerously wounded, and four slightly; the enemy, one officer killed and twenty seamen wounded. I have the honor to be, &c.
(Signed)“W. A. Montagu.”
“To Captain Edward Tucker, H.M.S. Dover, senior officer.”

Mr. Justice STEWART.
In this case the appellees showed that the apportionment of seats among the districts represented in the Delaware House of Representatives and within the counties represented in the Delaware Senate, apparently reflects 'no policy, but simply arbitrary and capricious action.' The appellants have failed to dispel this showing by suggesting any possible rational explanation for these aspects of Delaware's system of legislative apportionment. Accordingly, for the reasons stated in my dissenting opinion in Lucas v. Forty-Fourth General Assembly of Colorado, 377 U.S. 744, 84 S.Ct. 1477, I would affirm the judgment of the District Court insofar as it holds that Delaware's system of apportionment violates the Equal Protection Clause.

Appeal from the decree of the Circuit Court of the United States for the District of Columbia.
This was a proceeding for the distribution of the estate of Thomas Law, deceased, among his creditors and legatees. The same cause was here before, and is reported as Adams et al. vs. Law, in 17 Howard, 417. It was then remanded, and was further proceeded in according to the opinion of this court. The questions which arose afterwards were on the following claims:
1. Lloyd N. Rogers made a claim as creditor for money lent in 1822. It was not shown that this debt had ever been demanded of the decedent in his lifetime, nor or his executors before 1855.
2. Lloyd N. Rogers also claimed as creditor under the deed which will be found described in the opinion of Jr. Justice Nelson.

Rogers v. Lindsey
THIS was an appeal from the Circuit Court of the United States for the Southern District of Alabama.
The bill was filed by Rogers against Lindsey, Atwood, and Bennett, under the circumstances mentioned in the opinion of the court, and which it is not necessary to repeat.
The cause was heard upon the bill, answers, exhibits, and proofs, in the said District Court, on the 17th of April, 1850, and the court being of opinion that the plaintiff, Rogers, by his contract with the defendant, Lindsey, had assigned and transferred the judgment in the said court, in favor of Rogers & Gray against John S. Bennett, to said Lindsey, and that he, Lindsey, and the assignees under him, were entitled to the money made thereon, ordered and decreed that the plaintiff's bill be dismissed, with costs.
Rogers, the complainant, appealed to this court.
It was argued by Mr. Crittenden (Attorney-General) and Mr. Chilton, for the appellant, and Mr. J. A. Campbell, for the appellee.
The arguments of the respective counsel were so much connected with the facts and circumstances of the case, that it is impossible to narrate them without protracting this report to an inconvenient length.
Mr. Justice NELSON delivered the opinion of the court.
