COURT OF REVIEW.

Ex
Bartie —ln this case, which has been so frequently
before the court, his Honour had directed an issue to try
whether, at a particular time, the Newton Bank was in-
debted to the Totness Bank. The case, however, had twice
been made a remarul, and there appeared little chance of its
being tried at law. Under these circumstances, both 'parties
now desired that the quertiox of fact should be decided at
once by his Honour, either with or without the sesigance of
a jury.—Mr. Shapter and Mr. Malin►, who appeared for the
several parties, referred to the clauses in the act constituting
the Court of Review, authorising that court to summon a
jury, and mentioned instances in which that power had
been exercised hr the court —The Chief Judge said, that it
he could be assured of having the assistance of a jury of
merchants and bankers, he should be disposed to entertain
the application, but this was a case in which the court re-
quired a jury as aseamora, to aid the court in forming its
conclusion. The case was to be heard again upon this point.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.
Before Mr. t.3eryeant Adtras.

These sessions commenced on Tuesday.
Peariotous ALBION. - Yesterday, Peter Sessede, a
Frenehmnn, was indicted for having assaulted James Ashton,
by presenting a pistol, loaded with ball, at him, and express-
ing a determination to blow out his brains. The evidence
fully substantiated the charge, and in his defence the priso-
ner entered into a rambling history of his travels from St.
Maio, his native place, to Dover, and thence to London. He
had, he said, in his journey to London, received indignities
which no Frenchman could brook. He was in • destitute
condition, and he had been pelted with stones in the street,
insulted in public-houses, even a hone and • dog had
assaulted him, and he had been ill-treated by his fellow-
prisoners in Dridewell. Every Englishman he met assailed
him with abusive epithets, and at last he procured a pistol to
defend himself. Tire prosecutor had thrown a stone at him,
and he presented the pistol to frighten him. That was the
way • gentleman would defend himself—The prisoner's
address Dated half an hour, and, during its delivery, he
lavished every species of abuse upon all Englishmen save
the army and the nobility, which he said he respected.—
The learned judee remarked that the harangue might
have some weight with a French jury, but it would not do
for an English tribunal.—The prisoner was found Guilty,
and sentenced to two months' hard labour, at the end of
which to give security to keep the peace.—The prisoner was
forcibly ejected from the dock, and, as he entered the cell,
loudly denounced " Perfide Albion !"
