VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, FRIDAY, Nov. 11.

Dtwe e. wilt. •
Mt. Tgartrawe stated that this was an anpllesiron for an in-
junction to restrain from negotiating a bill of eitehange which 11.-
had obtained under the following circumstances:-..The plaintiff
was a merchant residing at Canino, in China: and the defendant,
also a merehant, had, the latter yeius of his life, resided in the East
Indies, principally at Bombay. A Rer having carried on Llama,:
there for a leng h of time, he resolved to return to his native country.
Previous, however, to cerrying that resolution into drect, he mad.
a voyage to Canton, 'heretic met and became acquainted with the
plaintiff, to whom he repreented himself as a man of greet pro
perty, stating that he had 12,0110 aims rupees in the bank , '
Al•Leod at Bombay. Seeing that the plaintiff placed entire con.
fidence in what he said, he requested ham to give him a bill ma
London, for .which he would give him a draft on bis banker ad
Bombay. Thq plaintiff fell into the trap and without hesitation
gave the defendant a bill on hi. agents, Biennia, Alaciiintesh, and
Co., in Bishopagate-striet. The defendant soon after returned to
this country, and on presenting the bin. it was duly accepted. Not;
so with the drdftlivan Ai the defendant to the plaintiff, who, whea
he sent the draft to "Mr. Mitecers, was told that the defendant
had drawn out all the money he had deposited. there. It was under
these circumstances that the plaintiff applied fir an injunction.
Injunction granted.
ABUSES OF COURT.
Several causes were now called on, but no one appeared in then'.
This produced 4 conversation between Alt. Heald, Air. Home. std.
his Honour, concerning the cause of this mischief. From what
was stated, it appeared that it arose from the circumstance of
causes getting on the paper that had no business thus at all. No.
thing was more common, when a cause WaScalleti on, for a Learrei
Gentleman t 6 rise and inform his Honour, that since the cause was
first put on the paper, it had been compromised or otherwise dis-
posed of. Five or six causes were thus dispowtd of in as many
minutes. The consequence was, that the causes following them were
called on before the time calculated upon. This was the cue ta.
day. Some causes had been heard before the Master of the Rolls.
The conversation dropped without any resolution being come to.
The few remaining causes were heard.
The Court was then obliged tosfse at half-past one.
His Iltilatirn, 14 he deputed, observed that some remedy tend
be provided. The last three days they had been loaded with per.
titularly heavy business. and each day they had lost an hoot or
two. This very day eight causes had been struck off the paper. Jr
was absolutely necessary to provide a remedy.

that the defendant had jurisdiction, and that be exercised it pro-
pel, in committing the plaintiff for contumacy, and therefore the
plaintiff ought to be nonsuited. The Judge, Mr. Baron Hulloek,
was of this opinion, but wished to have the judgment of the Court

plaintiff', with leave to move to have it 114 t snide on this point, if the

Mr. Justice Bar LGY (the hard Chief Justice having previously

they could nut yet through the gentlemen of the bar.
Mr. Wailer, on this. said that he merely wished to have it tan.

Mr. Justice Balmer replied, that he should have great pleasure

COURT OF ADMIRALTY, Futnav, Nov. li.

Upon the opening of the Court this day, at Ike ovoid hour, the

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, FRIDAY, Nov. 11.
Atha Stevenson Bushnan, of highly respecttibie connexions in
the city, came up to be heard upon his petition, when his discharge
was opposed by Mr. Heath and Mr. Cooke, on behalf of Alr.
Forty, of the Star and Garter, Richmond-hill, Mr. Hay, proprietor
of the Albion Tarern, Aldersgate-street, and other creditors.
From the examination of the insolvent, it appeared that Naha&
occupied apartments lit the house of his father, who had principally
supported hips, and had from time to time advanced upwards of six
hundred pounds, one hundred of which sum he admitted was for
gambling, horse-racing, and travelling expenses on the Continent,
(having paid four hundred already, connected with these transac-
tions) and that he had paid to various creditors no lea than four-
teen hundred pounds, which the Learned Counsel contended was
impossible, as the balance sheet spoke to no more than six hundred,
and consequently he had no less a sum than eight hundred pounds
to account for, and if this were true the balance sheet was defective
and must be dismissed. The insolvent expressed a wish to com-
promise with his creditors.
The Court said, that they could have no objection to this mode
of sculement, and adjourned the case generally, leaving the parties
to compromise as they can.
Ilknry Lewin, a kurgeon, on half-pay, was opposed by several
creditors, and particularly by a talkative old lady of the name of
Me. Laughlan„ a schoolmistress by profession, who kept the Court
in a continued roar of laughter. Before Mr. Heath, who was
Counsel fur the insolvent, could learn from her the nature of her
opposition, she declared that she was determined not to be browbeat
by him, nor by any of the bar I—that if it were attempted to be
proved that she was the there antic of the insolvent, otherwise than
as a friend, she would rot put up with the aspersi in, but snake the
whole Court ring with her wrongs. (Laughter.)
Mr. HEATH said, that he had no doubt of it, and interrogated
her as to her knowledge of the French language, to which she gave
some ludicrous replies.
The insolvent was at length discharged, on consenting to deduct
121. a year out of hie half-pay.

IMPORTANT IMPROVEMENT IN; COTTON

SPINNING.

IFrom the Manchrster Advertiser.]
Many of our readers are probably already aware, that,
within a few months past, two patents have beta taken
out in this neighbourhood, sor self-acting mules for
spinning cotton ; one by Mr. Roberts of this town, and
the other by Mr. De longh, of Warrington • both of
which, by a singular coincidence, were granted on the
same day.
We understand that the one invented by Mr De longh
is now at work, and we have been told that it spins well,
but have not yet had an opportunity. of seeing it. We
have, however, had several opportunities, during the last
week, of observing that invented by Mr. Roberts, and we
have to announce its complete success,—a success, indeed,
so decisive as to astonish even those who were beat ac-
quainted with the extraordinary talents of the inventor,
and who consequently formed the highest expectations as
to the.result of his labours. Though the machine is, to a
certain extent, rude and temporary in its construction, and
has been set to work under several disadvantages, it is now
spinning as well as, if not better than any hand-spinner
could possibly do.
The mule to which Mr. Roberts's invention is attached
is one of 120 spindles, and quite new, having never been
worked upon before, and consequently not so well adapted
for the purpose as one that has been a short time in use.
It has been set to work in a room of very unequal tempe-
rature (being heated merely by pans of charcoal), and with
roving. in very indifferent condition ; but yet, as soon as
the different movements were properly adjusted, it spun
nineteen stretches (of 40's twist) without breaking a sin-
gle end, and it now generally spins for half an hour toge-
ther, without breaking an end in running in the carriage,
which is the best criterion for judging of the merits of the
invention ; the breaking in coming out, bring referable to
causes entirely unconnected with Mr. Roberts's patent.
Indeed it is perfectly obvious, from an examination of that
part of the machine by which the difficult process of wind-
ing-on is effected, that it must possess very great and de-
cided advantages over the hand-spinner. By a contrivance,
equally simple and efficacious, the tention of the yarn in
winding on is always precisely the same, whether it is
wound upon a bate Spindle or a full cop ; so that the cop
must be throughout of an equal degree of hardness ; and
the tension may, with the greatest ease, be varied to any
point which is requisite for spinning the finest or the
coarsest yarn, or for producing the hardest or the softest
cop. On this account the invention is extremely well cal-
culated for spinning fine numbers, in which the moderate
and equal tension of the yarn in winding on is of the ut-
most consequence; and we should not beat all surprised
if it is made to produce yarn of a degree of ilnentss
which has never yet been, and never can be, spun by
hand.

In another point, too, Mr. Roberts's invention possesses
a decided advantage over the mule in common use, and an
advantage which would scarcely be expected from it, viz.
—a considerable saving in time. In other inventions of.
this nature for which patents have been obtained, the re-
verse has been the case, there has been a great loss of time
in putting up the carriage; and this is one of the objec-
tions which have prevented their getting into general use.
Is Mr. Roberts's mule the various motions foliuta each,
other with as mach rapidity, and may be made to proceed
with as much velocity, as the yarn is capable of bearing;
so that there is no loss of time in any part of the operation.
So far as we can judge, all the parts of the machine are Ca-
pable of ready adjustment, and not liable to get out of re-
pair ; which, in a machine that must be intrusted W the,
management of persons of moderate mechanical skill, is a
matter of no small consequence.
It may prol.ahly be supposed, that a machine so eff .c-
-tivc must of iteces.sity be complicated and expeosive in its
construction ; but this is by no means the case; it is, com-
paratively, a very simple machine. It is. perhaps, neces-
sary here to exphtie, that-Mr. Roberts's improvements are
confined (with very trifling excoptions) to that part of the
Mule which is usually called the head-stock. In the
rollers, the spindles, and the body of the mule generally,
there is no alteration whatever: and we shoal(' suppose
that one of Mr. Roberts's head-stocks would cost ilttle
more than one of those is common use; so thtt where par-
, ties are getting new machinery, the difference of cost per
100 c s pindl a would be a mere triflle. But the invention Is
also readily applicable to old mules on the common con-
struction; in which ease, it will only be necessary to re-
move the old livadstocks, and replace tbem by new ones on
Mr. Roberts's plan, which may be done in about she same.

time that would he necessary to change one of the oiti
headstocks for stiv..ther.

' Mr. ItAierts's invention possesses various other advan-
tages of minor importance, which, however, are still wufth
mentioning. The alteration in the headstock.ncoesstry for
changing the count of the yarn, is effected hi a very simple
and expeditious manner;—the headstock Well does not
extend beyond the rollers, so that when placed in the
centre of the mule it does riot obstruct the view or the pas-
sage along the wheel pease ; there will also he a consider-
able saving in the-expense of shaftirrg a mill intetul,d for
these mules, es no crew-shahs will be. necessary for driving
them.

BRITISH PRESS.

POLICE.
MANSION-HOUSE.
Yesterday a fish salesman. named Jacobs, was charged before
the Lord klayor with having violently assaulted a poor Irishwoman,
named Ann Ford, at Billingsgate.
The complainant, the greater part of whose fate was quite black
I with bruises. sod whose head wan tied up in a handkerchief, stated
that the defendant and amulter man bad same dispute in the
market, aria that the former not having succeeded against the
latter hs turned round to wreak his vengeance upon her, although
she never gave him the slightest °Hence. The manner in which he
had attacked her was particularly savage and dangerous. She had
her beck turned towards him, and her face was opposite to the side
of a door. He shoved her with both hands against the door in the
most violent way, and sherdl with her face against it, and was dis-
figured in a frightful manner.
The defendant dented that he had intended to do the complainant
the least mischief. He had, in fact, by said, accidentally staggered
against her, and she happened to fall, and he was very sorry for
what occurred.
The Loan MAYOR told the defendant that his conduct was un-
manly, and that it he did not consent to recompense the woman for
the injury she had sustained he must appear to answer the charge at
the Quarter Sessions, when lie (the Lord Mayor) should feel it his
duty to say what he thought of the assault.
The defendant retired with the complainant, but soon returned,
and said, 'that the master of the latter would nut allow her to com-
promise the unault.
The Loan MAYOR approved of the conduct of the poor
woman's master in determining to punish her aualiant, whom his
Lordship then ordered to find bail.
BOW-STREET.
An application was made yesterday to the sitting Magtstrate by
a person of the name of Rymer, who is in the leather trade, against
a Mr. Hovey, who is in the same lineal business, in order to re-
cover from the latter a quantity of leather, millet' had been fraudu-
letuly obtained from himself by one Samuel Ford, which he had
prosecuted to curniction for the offence at the Old Bailey Sessions.
The article in queation had beep sold to I.llr. Hovey by Ford, and,
as Mr. Rymer contended, for little more than half the value. At
all events, Ford having been Once transported,,he now called on
Mr. Hovey to restore his property.
Mr. Ilaawkn, who appeared for the latter, however, now con-
tended that 51r. Rymer, although deceived by Ford, hail yet, as the
transfer to that person wax a voluntary one, parted with all right of
ownership in the leather, which, in contradiction to the complainant,
he affirmed to have been fairly purchased at its full value by his
client. 'fife article, he added, for which Ford was transported was
not the leather, but a sum of money, which he succeeded in obtain-
ing intim Mr. Rymer at the time of the transaction, and which was
the part of the charge on which the conviction was obtained. This
of course could nut affect any tracafer on his part of the leather.
But waving this argument altogether, he (Mr. flamer) should
contend that the question wan at present carom two judice. This
was not the proper court to decide it in, nor the proper method to
be pursued for the recovery of the property, even supposing it to be
wmngously detained.
In this view of the case Mr. HALTS concurred, arid dismissed
the application, on tins ground of hie having no jurisdiction in
the matter, recommending 31r. Rymer to apply fur advice to his
attorney.
James Whalley. a middle-aged man, of very shabby appearance,
was brought before Twhates Hat.t.s, Esq. charged with felo-
niously receiving a 201. Bank of Englaud note, knowing it to be
stolen.

The prosecution was conducted by Mr. PEACOCK, the Solicitor
to the (intend Post.office.
• In April 1824. a man, named William Whalley. a lesser carrier,
*5l apprehended on a charge of stealing money-letters, and was
capitally convicted at the Old Bailey, but his sentence was com-
muted to transportation for life. It was then known that several
money-letters had been stolen besides those upon which he was
tried ; but the missing bank notes could not at that time be traced.
Some notes have since been traced to have been disposed of by thE
convict, and amongst the vest a 201. note was traced to the prisoner,
who is his brother. The following evidence was called to prove
a guilty knowledge.
Mr. John Foster stated that he was an oil-merchant, and lived
at gnaresboraugh. On the '26th of April 1824, he enclosed a 201.
Bank of England note. No. 2,883, dated 31st of January 1824, in
a letter addressed to James Howell, Esq. Vincent-square, West-
minster. The witness gave the letter himself into the hands of
Mrs. Taylor, who kept the post-office at Knareaborough, and paid
the postage. He could not identify the note produced except by
the number and date.
Mr. James Howell, of Vincent-square, deposed, that he never
received the letter spoken of by the last witness.
Anne Oldaere, wife to Thinnest Oldacre, the landlord of the
Dolphin public.liouse. in Coleman-street, deposed, that on a
Sunday morning, in the Summer before last, the prisoner, who had
been a customer from the time that they took the house in the pre-
Timm December, gave her a 201. note, and asked her to lend him
V. upon it, observing, that he did not like to have so much money
about him, for fear of losing it. He then wallaby the sale of
Harrison, and lived with two sisters of that name In White nose-
' court, Coleman-street, where he parsed as their brother. He wrote
James Harrison " upon the note. The note naw produted was
the same. She kept the note till the followiog Septetinber, when a
person, representing herself as the prisoner's sitter, came and re-
deemed the note by the payment of the 21. adslnced tpon It. The
note was afterwards brought to her again by the same young
woman, who borrowed come money upon it; and she and her sister
had, in different payments. 10/.los. and witness then gays the
balance to the prisorer and paid the note away. Atliss Radael
Harrison, now present, was the pinion who redeemesithe notethe
first time.

.....
Raehnel Harrison deposed, that she and her sister now live in
Shoemaker'e-mw.larkfriars. and are dress-makers. In April,
1624, the prisoner lodged with them in White Rose-court, Cole-
man-street. They had him as a lodger, In order to ease their
rent, and he passel as their brother, because the people of the
house would not have permitted a stranger to reside with them.
He did not cohabl. with her or her sister. (This was stated in
answer to a questi in put- to the witness.) The prisoner was a
coppersmith by trade. She reNleeteti his giving her 21. and tel-
ling her to take it to Mrs. Oldacre, who would give her something
belonging to him. Mrs. Oldacre gave her a 201. note, which she
delivered to the prisoner, and she subsequently gave the same
note to Mrs. Old,cre again.
Mr. Woods stet d, that be was Inspector of letter.carriers, at the
General Post-offics—ln April, 11324, William Whalley was a
carrier in the Wce minater division, and ft was part of his duty to
sort the letters bef ,re they were delivered. lie was on ditty on the
28th of April, 18.14, tt momiNg that Mr. Howell's letter should
have come to hand, and he would in the regular course of business
have access to slat letter. When he was convicted, at the Old
Bailey, the prisoner epplied to witness for some duplicates that
were taken from the convict at the time of his apprehension, and
he filth atarekt that be was his brother.
. . .

James Ellis, one of the principal officers, stated, that he was
directed to apprehend the prisoner, in February last, anti made
diligent search after him, but he was not to be found. He
searched the !ridings of the prisoner, which the lather had left
suddenly without taking away some things that belonged to him,'
and witness searched a hoz and found some letters addressed to
the prisoner. (It was not stated whether or not these letters had
any relation to the charge.)
Taunton, jur. a polite constable, stated, that he apprehended
the prisoner in Barnet, on the 2d Instant. lie told him what he
apprehended him for, and he admitted that he was burher to the
convict W. ‘Vhallcy. He said, he "received the 201. from his
brother William, who was a letter carrier, and who got into
trouble." The prisoner was working at Barnet, at his trade, and
passed by the name of Jones. Witness was instructed to appre-
hend the prisoner in February last; but he absconded, and he was
not able to Bud hitn until he received information that he way at
Barnet. .

The Misses Harrison were taken Into custody in February last,
by Taunton, consequence of the note having been traced to their
possession, sod they then told the same story related now by the
witness Michael.

Previous to goiwg into the eridence, Mr. Hanstvi contended
that the charge against the prisoner amounted only to illegally
poiwning, inasmuch as, that when he abstracted the article which
was the subject of complaint, he had no felonious intention, but did
so tinder the impression of'his being shortly able to restore it.
Mr. A tatatws replied, that the ease was clearly one of felony;
tier, that In order m make it illegally pawning, it was necessary that
the article pledged should be intrusted to his keeping. Now, such
ens not the fnct ; for it was in the care of the sexton, front whose
charge, without any kind of authority, it had been feloniously
remorse.
The Magistrates were of the ume opinion with Mr. Andrews,
that the charge could not• be coontrncd into a charge of illegally
pownitt tit mast be taken u a felony, and that as to the in-
tent of 4

The de 4

the epee t.4ast September, a cloth belonging to one of the church
tablas, which ma...intrusted to the sexton, was missing. It basing
