SANDEIISON L. LAMBKIN.

Mr. Sergeant WYLUE moved for a rule to show cause why the
proceedings on the bailbond in this case should not be set aside, on
the ground that the affidavit of debt, Bled by the plaintiff, had
' been improperly framed.
It appeared from the Learned Sergeant's statement, that the af-
t fidvait was rather an allegation of the result of legal reasoning,
than a detail of facts, and that it was framed in such a manner,
that if the words were literally construed, the pleintiff might be in-
dicted for perjury.
The LORD Cum' JUSTICE—Then the plaintiff must take the
consequences of that. If he has rendered himself liable to the pil-
lory he must go there.
Mr. Sergeant ll' lune observed, that the Court would not only
punish the guilty party, but would relieve the other from the con-
sequences. Besides, thank Gtd, a man was not to be put into the
pillory for being a bad lawyer, for if that were the case, more than
half of the people in this country must submit to that punishment.
—( A laugh.)
The Court granted the rule.

COURT OF EXCIIEQUii,R, SATgamAr.igar.

THE TRUSTEES OF THE CHELTENHAM T ru.Nriß ES V. LETT

Mr. Ctrawooo moved for a rule to show cause why a non.
suit should not be entered In the above cause, which was tried at
the last Assizes for the county of Gloucester. The trustees had
let by contract the tolls arising from certain turnpikes in the en-
virons of Cheltenham, at a rental ; the defendant objected to the
authority of the trustees so to let, and that they erected one gate,
where they had no jurisdiction. They subsequently braught their
action for a bretch of contract, and obtained a verdict against the
defendants, although it was proved that some of the trustees
themselves had refused to pay the toll at one of the gates that
they had erected.

Rule granted.
There are four actions pendiog under similar

POLICE.

MANSION-HOUSE.

On Satnrday Mr. Cooke, the Managing Director of the Owe.
nappe Mining Company, appeared before the Lord Mayor, fur
the purpose of swearing to the truth of the contents of a paper,
which he held in his hand, relative to the interview he had had with
Lord Nugent on the subject of the shares allotted in that Company
to his Lordship.
Mr. Cooke requested that the Lord Mayor would grant him the
indulgence, which had been, in so kind and gentlemanlike a man-
ner, conceded to him by his Lordship's predecessor.
The Lonft Mal'Oft said Mr. Cooke's stcement should be at.
tended to.

Mr. Cooke then said, that Lord Nugent had sent a letter to the
newspapers, asserting that the note signed by his Lordship, which
had been published some days ago, referred not to the Gwenappe
Company, but to sonic other Company. Now it is his (Mr.
Cooke's) object, to rivet his Lordship down to that statement,
and he thought he should add to the strength of the ease he had
made out before the public, by an affidavit of the facts, in
contradiction to his Lordship's last letter. lie should nut have
given his Lordship the trouble to attend to any further obserra.
don upon the subject of what had taken place ; nor, indeed,
s'iould he have given his Lordship's excellent predecessor any
trouble, had not the rank of Lord Nugent prevented him from
resortitig to another alternative.
The Loan MAYOR—You must not, Sir, make any further al.
Fusion to that alternative here.

Air. Cooke begged pardon fur having made the allusion to what
might in other circumstances have been done. lie then mentioned,
that it would be fully proved at a meeting of the shareholders,
which was to be held very shortly, that all he (Mr. Cooke) had
stated was perfectly correct, that the affairs of the Company were
carried on in the most fair and honourable manner, and that there
was the most certain prospect of success in its operations.
The LORD AIATOR said, he had not objected to hearing the
statement of the gentleman, as his object was, no doubt, to have
Publicity given to his contradiction of a charge which had been pub-
licly made against him. ills Lordship said, he agreed in every
thing that had fallen from his worthy predecessor relative to Shares
in Companies, but the Chief Magistrate had nothing to do with the
punishment of persons who had acted improperly with respect to
them. He agreed to the opinion expressed, as to tile prohabl•C•W.'
sequences of those mad speculations, and that the Directors should
do all in their power to give satisfaction to the Shareholders, with

On Saturday a man named HigFins, in the employment 0
Messrs. Pugh, upholeterera, in High.street, Southwark, re,
brought before the sitting Magistrate, L. B. ALLEN, Laq• charm
with robbing his employers to a considerable extent.
One of the gentlemen belonging to the firm stated that thep&
sonar was for some length of time suspected of robbing the pin
mince before he was detected. The clay on which he was en.
prehended a plan was laid for his detection. One of th`e;
trustworthy servants had directions to conceal himself in hl
warelimute to which the suspected man had access. The
dividual in question had not been long in hie concealmeat
before lie observed the prisoner enter it, and proceed to roman'

one of whom questioned Higgins, who exhibited great manna;
and, subsequently, 'a search warrant was procured, and exempt
upon the prisoner's premises, where a great quantity of property
consisting oPaiartieles used in the trade, and bdongutg to Meter'', Pugh, went discovered. The prisoner was remanded for anottae
examination, in order to have the aitendance of a principal eitner
