This was a cave in which the plaintiff had obtained an injunc-
tion against the defendant, restratning him from proceeding in an
action at law for the recovery of the sum of 6.10/., which defendant
bri paid the plaintiirs for the third of a certain ship.
Mr. Hong stated, that the plaittitfs twiny owners of a certain
Olio, agreed to sell otie.thinl of her to the defendant fur 64111., the
defendant to have the command of, and navigate her, which he
continued to do for several voyages to Anirtica,•and elsewhere.
The defendant hail paid his money for the purchase, but the plain.
ti°i alleged great misconduct on his part, in the management
of :.the ship—the withholding a correct statement of the ac.
counts. and the unfair disposal of some of the masts and canvas
of the ship. The plaintiffs had also diseovtrd that defendant re.
ceived chualcstinely certain sums due to the general concern ; and
an these grounds the injunction was obtained.
lag:iinr.rtTorr, fur the defendant, contended that the in-
junction trust he dissolved, because, whatever the circumstances
were between the parties, the sale of the ship by the plaintiffs,
without accounting her the produce to defendant, evidently entitled
defendant W hring his action at law for that sum.
Mx. [loam was willing to leave the whole matter to arbitration,
or t pay the 0501. into Court. The plaintiffs could not convent to
ayo that to the defendant, as he was considerably indebted
to them. 1
PERIRERTON--AVC shall do neither, as we have a legal'
rut to that slim.
Lord Ifirroan saw no reason to justify his continuing the in.
;unction, because it was admitted that the 6501. was paid to the
plaintiffs. Inc which they had a right to account. As to any othcfb
part of the irjonetior., doe would continue it, if .Mr. Horn thought
proper. Iron?, declined, and the injunction was altogether dissolved.

Tent Can OW 11•Roanur JOSES —Yesterday, Mr. vermeil,
the chersemonger, of Clare.street, Clare-market, from abus echop
the unfortunate woman, 31argaret Jones, purloined • piee tt
bacon (as reported under the Bow.etreet head in our paper of
Tuesday), appeared before the sitting Magistrate, O. It. 31 Is.
situ Lt., Esq. fur the purpose of applying to have the prisoner dis-
charged.
, • Mr. Careless stated, that he was totally unacquainted with the
eircurnitances of the case, until he saw a report of it in the
morning rpm, and he was shocked beyond description at finding
that his name was in any way mixed up with macho transaction.
Ile Misted that he had as much humanity as any man, and he
could venture to say that he would be one of the last to proceed
with anything likes harshness against an unfortunate fellow-ern-
ture. It always gave hint pleasure to prevent crime if possible,
and for months past he had on every Saturday night employed five
I additional persona in his shop, in order that a better look-oat might
be kept upon the actions of those who came in. Within three months
more than filly had been detected in petty thefts upon his premises,
and he had forgiven them all.. As a proof that he was willing to
make amends to the unfortunate family for the harshness of his
ehoptnan's conduct, he had on Tncsday evening called upon the
husband of the prisoner, anti left five shillings for his immediate
use ; and he now begged to leave a sovereign, to be applied to the 1
same purpose. At the same time he wished to withdraw the pro.
sccution, and he hoped the prisoner would be immediately dis-
charged.
Mr. Al INISIMI.T. said he had occasion to know that the eme had
excited a great deal of interest. and hail called forth the active be-
nevolence of several humane persons who had left emus of money
at the office for the benefit of the unfitertinate family. The eon.
duct of 31r. Careless was higi'ly creilituble to him, and no one
could regret that it was in the power of the Magistrate to accede
to Ms request for the discharge of the prisoner; but at the same
time he num observe, that n would be extremely dangerous to
suffer it to go forth to Meteoric!, that the surest mode of inducing
a benevolent kerne; in the_ Rubin) mind, in behalf of misfortune,
wow the commission e( Volr and the consequent ree of the
eiremnatattcrs of rfie-neense'st at a

this woman was no excuse for her crime. It shunt be reeoltestelf,
that the parish funds were always open to the rebel of the die.l
tressed, at least for a time, anti she should have taken her family
to a workhouse, rather than lute had recourse to theft. Under the
peculiar eircuinstences of this case, however, he had no hesitation
in saying that she ellotild be immediatety discharged, although',
perhaps he was taking emoething upon himself in saying so, not.',
being the committing Alagistrate; but he was sure Sir It. Binds'
would approve of the step he was about to take.
The pour woman was soon afterwards brought up from prison,
and discharged with a suitable admonition. She had her children
and husband with her, and the poor couple shed tears of gratiarde
for the benevolence that had been exercised towards them.
The sums subscribed for them will be properly appropriated for
their benefit by Sir It. Ilitnie.
11 ATTON-GA RBEN.
Yesterday Mr. Thomas Friary, accompanied by hit spouse,
paid a morning visit to the Magistrates after spending the night in
Saffron-hill watchhouse, to give hint a detail of their merry-making
on the preceding evening.
31r. Friary was of an interestingly diminutive appearance, and
the only snexaggerated specimen which we have the a long time
seen of the tailors' fraternity, while his spouse amply compensated
by her dimensions for the miniml and professional deficiencies In
bulk on the part of her husbend. It appeared that the parties, with
that liberality of feeling so creditable to trades.people, did not wish
to confine their society to their own trade, but favoured, on Tues-
day night, with their presence, a meeting of the " Bout and Shoo
Club." Whatever may have been the effect on Snip's mind by this
Introduction to anew trade, certain it was that he " kicked up," by
his own confession, a great row in the street, and when taken to the
watch-house, swore that he'd kaater the constable of the tight, and
blutr'd him up well.
Magistrate—What pretensions could you, the fractional Tin r t of
swan, have to blow that man tip? (pointing to the constable of the
isigM, whose size would have done honour to any butcher in Fleet.
Market.)
- Ott this question Mr. Emery did not look more embarrassed than
the oonstaMe of the night, as, notwithstanding' his anomalous ap-
posnutee, he was of the same profession with the defendant.
Mr. Imlay having thus found a friend in Court, did not find
much difficulty in niaking his peace, and was accordingly discharg-
ed, with an admonition in future to attend the '• Goose and Iron,"
in preference to the " Boot and Shoe" (lutb.

behind the door, and suspecting she was there Mr the purpose of
ecoimitting felony, she laid hold of her, and reflect for help, and a
woman who lunges up stairs came to her assistance. (hi examining

she put there the preceding night, and r.o person had entered

She was remanded for further examination on Wednesday next.
