The Souctroit-Gutguet, now moved for the
judgment of the Court.

the Court in arrest of judgment on certain affidavits.
The LORD CROW JUITICS informed him. that
' Serest of judgment must be moved on some defect
on the face of the record, and need not have 'A-
dvents. " The case," continued his Lordship,
in was tried before me, sod my recommendation
both to Dr. iliehmore and the Counsel for the
Crown is, that the Defendant should enter into
his own recognizances to receive the lodgment of
she Court when rolled upon, and in the meat' lime
to be discharged."

The DefelUdaut observed, that he had already

Ti:.. was a case from the Norfolk Circuit. 'fht
Plaintiffs were assignees under a commission of
bankrupt issued against • person named Mousey, a
farmer, arid who carried oil contraband trade as a
smuggler. The Defendant held certain goods of
the bankrupt under an assignment by the Sheriff,
to 'recover possession of which the asitiguees brought
the present action. Tl.e Jury at the trial found a
verdict for the Plaintiffs. Subsequently Mr. Ser.
jesnt Free had obtained a rule to 'thew cowrie why
the verdict should not be set aside, on two grounds
—firer. that there was no act of bankruptcy ; and
seconefly, that the only trading proved having been
amirggling, did not bring Mousey within the sta.
%bites relating to bankrupts.
Mr. Serjeant Btosserr and Mr. Sloan now
skewed cause against the rule, and contended, an
the authority of Lord Hardwicke export/. Millman,
that a contraband trading was such a bujing and
selling as made the smuggler subject to the Bank-
rupt Laws. With respect to the second objection,
the 'act of bankruptcy here was lying m prison
above three months for Exchequer penalties; and,

Counsel contended there wins no ground for saying
such a lying in prison was not a sufficient act of

correctly these:—About three o'clock on Wednesday morn-
ing Mrs. Basil was awoke by a person calling, " Farmer '

Meanwhile, the thrasher hearing some persons talking
in the yard, proceeded thither, and on reaching the yard,

he knew where his master's money was kept! On being
answered in the negative, they, with a dreadful oath, bound
his hands behind him, threw him into a corn bin, and co-

It is with much regret we have to announce the
following occurrence. Whetlitr it originated in
mere wantonness, or resulted from concealed enmity,
we know not ; but in either case the perpetrator,
though hitherto undiscovered, is deserving the severe
mistightion of the law, which, we hope, be will not

which, coming in contact with Mr. Hope, broke

the whole of his teeth. We are extremely con-
cerned to add, that but faint hopes are entertained
of his recovery.
