enmity was farther excited by the circumstance of the slate

Early in the morning the royal 'Madera' were displayed

riages iu motion, containing ladies and gentlemen elegantly

Owing Cross, Whitehall. ike. were lined with carts, waggons,
caravan., and various other carriages, to accommodate per-
sons at so much per head. A guard of honour of the Royal
Horse Guards marched to the King's Palace in Pall.mall, at

IIUXING.

JOSH. HUDSON AND TILE CAULKER.

The Tuesday aid the diaaypoiotmentr, alto-
gether, have tended much to give an additional damp to
the syatetw, which is much on the decline. Banslesd or
Epsom Downs was the first place appointed for Ike rice. It
was previously known that it cou'd not take place there, and
Frattliarts Bottum. many miles across a billy country, in
one of the roughest days of the season, was next hit upon,
and in spite of wind and rain the cavalcade was in
motion, horsemen following the amateurs who frequented
the Derby Haat, over hedge and dimclt in a complete steeple
chase style, nutil few of them reached home, and vehicles
of
every description were at a stand-still in the muddy lanes,
and pedestrians had no chance, while the piti:ess stormcouled
the blue rule within. At Satithant Bottom there was shelter
only fur • favouredfew, and uu attempting to form the ring a
beak said it would out null. A fight, liowtver, was deter-
mined on, more than ten miles across the country, on • mo-
✓ass forming part of Wimbledon Commun. More than half
of the men and horses coedit not make a third start. An.
other steeple chase followed, and but few fields were without
a knock-up, and nut use-third of those who started to see
the fight were present. None but grime ones were present,
and it was gelling dusk before operations commenced.—
()nen and Randall seconded Hudam., •nd Whoa and the
Caulker's bruther picked him up...Fiveto four on Hudson.

The C4stlket received a hit behind the ear in the ►ecund
rotted, and on the same place in the third round, which
finished hint, after a whole day's dance to 04 e the fight.

SHAWE IN THF. lIIATTER OF HOWARD ♦ND
GIBBS, BANKRUPTS.
The ATTORNEY•GENERAL said, he had to ad-
dress his Lordship in support of the proof of the
debt of Howard, one of the bankrupts, as an exe-
cutor, against the estate of the bankrupts, and his
subsequent vote for assignees. Ile coutended that
• commission of bankruptcy haying issued against
• person, did not take front him his legal cll4incier
of an executor. He hail looked into the bankrupt
laws, and he could find nothing in them to prevent
• bankrupt executor from proving a deist under Ilia
own uortmlisaion. *Elie bankrupt io this me hay.
ing been permitted by the ConsinissiOners to prove
his debt as an executor, he had the right to vote
for assignees ; it was so ►ettled by Lord Hard.
wicke in the matter of Cooper, a bankrupt, as
reported by Greene. Lord Hardwicke, iel
that case, carried it much further than he con-
tended for, for he decided that • bankrupt
executor had the right to .igni his own certificate.
Suppose a bankrupt executor was;the largest credi-
tor. was he, as trustee, to he prevented to prove Iris
debt ? if he were, who was to prove lor those who were
interested ? for they could only vote for :Heav ier.
by their ttustee. The easels ail ex parte Leake and
ex parse Brooke, alluded to in Mr. Cook's Book on
Bankruptcy, page 175, were in punit. He then
contended the Court would not prevent a bankrupt
executor from proving against his own estate, but
would take care to secure the dividends fur the
persons entitled, by ordeting then) to be paid into
Court.

The LORD CRANCELT.OR—" I must interrupt
you here, for I sin obliged to intend elsewhere.
The question here ought to he subdivided: first,
whether a bunk. opt executor can prove against his
own estate without an order of the Court for that
purpose; and, secondly. if he can prove, whether lie
can vote for his choice of as.ignees. Ido nut think
the case reported in Greene hears on this. You
may go on with this to-morrow morning."
His Lordship theu rose at half-post twelve
o'clock.

further, that he should have stated these facts to

torney nor a commissioner fur taking affidavits were
