IN THE MATTER OT SARAH oatrxr:.

Mr. Leturearwe moved his Honour to order the discharge of a
woman named Sarah Greene, whom he described as * person who
bad been long in very indigent circumstances, and who, having been
madea defendant in a suit in this Court, in which she had no In.
wrest whatever, had had an attachment moved against her in eon.
sequence of her not haviog put in an answer, she being too poor to
employ Counsel. Under that attachment she had been incarcerated
in Stafford Gaol for six months, and afterwards for an equal term
in the Fleet Prison. Notice of this motion had been given to the
Attorney, by whom the cruel treatment had been occasioned, and
be bed not thought proper to appear to oppose it.
The VICE-C'nmecet.Lon—Mr. Lauraine, this is • horrid ease.
I could not have conceived that an instance of such oppression could
have 0.-corred io this country.
Al. LAIIRAINE stated that he had affidavits of all the farts.

- -
His HOWOVR directed the discharge of the poor woman and
added, he hoped that she would be advised to seek other redressl
against the attorney, which he was sure no Jury would refuse.
Mr. LAUB/LINE requested that, us the poor woman wee anxious
to return to her friends immediately, the seder might be at once
made out.
The V ics•CHAN cst Lot —Gertainly. Let the order be imme-
diately made out.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH. Wt3IXINSTIII,
FRIDAY, Nov. 21

Mr. 7estice RAVLET sat In the morning at Nisi Prim, to bear
undefended 12 Mk ZI.

MELLISH R. 1111CD•RDSOW•
This, It will be recollected, is a writ of error from the Common
Pleas. The defendant in error, Mr. Richardson, was the com-
mander oral East Indianian, and resigned this command under a
contract with Mr. Mellish, by which, in a certain contingency, he
was to have the command of the Minerva East Indiaman for four
vayages. The contingency happened, and Mr. Richardson called
on Mr. Mellish to complete his contract, by appointing him (3lr.
Richardson) to the command agreed on. This Mr. :Hellish re.
• fund to do. Mr. Richardson brought an action In the Common
Fftae, tovroorer damages for the breach of contract, and obtained
a verdict with 7,3001. damages. Mr. Mellish then obtained a rule
Mel, to set aside the verdict and have a new trial, which rule was
afterwards discharged. He then brought a writ in the King's
Hand, and on a former day this term it was argued. For the
p:aintiffin error it was contended, that there was no consideration
given by Mr: Richardson ; but if there was anT consideration
peen, then the contract came within the statute against the sale of
pribllc office*, and in either case it was void.
The LORD Cater JUSTICE, as soon as he had taken his sea
this morning, was proceeding to give judgment, when •
Mr. Camp/m.ln rose to beg the Court to defer its judgment.
He said he should hare made a motion to this effect sonic days ago,
but that he was waiting the result of a rule VW in the Common
Pleas, which had been obtained for amending the postea ; this
rule had been made absolute, and the postea amended ac.
cerdingly.
The LORD Cuter JusTicE, in reply to Mr. Campbell, who
had pressed his application very urgently, said, that this was no
reason fur suspending the judgment of this Court upon the writ of
error. His Lordship stated very briefly the rounds of their
decision, reamed the judgment below, and ordered a new venire to
issue. _ _ _

At a subsequent part of the day, the LOIID Cuitr JUSTICE
said to Mr. Campbell, that to prevent any misapprehension as to
what had fallen from the Court in the morning, he wished him dis-
tinctly to understand, that when the Court of Common Pleas had
amehded their judgment, he would be at liberty to make any mo-
la on he pleased.
Mr. C*lll.llltLL—l am very glad to hear your Lordship say so.
The Loau Cats, JUSTICE—What 1 wish you distinctly to
urvierstand is, that you are not precluded from moving the Court.

MAGVIA_v. MACHADO.

The parties to this Buie are foreigners. The defendant was 'r-
ested by the plaintiff on an affidavit sworn before the British con-
sul at Cadiz, that he owed him 100,0001. sterling.
Mr. (11113 MY, nn a former day this term, obtained a rule to
shots cause why the defendant should not be discharged on common
ball. He moved on two grounds; first, that the British consul
was incompetent to administer an oath to hold to bail, his functions
and powers being purely commercial; secondly, that the affidavit
iris void for uncertainty, inasmuch as the sum due to the plaintiff
wee described as 100,0001. sterling, without adding whether it was
Sajfsh currency or Spanish currency.
170 the motion to make the rule absolute, Mr. SCARLETT and
hlr, Pot.Loca argued against it, and Mr. (;:Ruck and AIL
COUTS In support of it.
The Loin CHIEF JIJIITtcs this day delivered the judgment of
the Court. In respect to the Bret objection, he said the opinions
a-the Court were divided. As to the other, his learned brothers
thought the word " sterling" alone was not a sufficient description
of English money. He said he was himself of a different opinion,
but that he should have no difficulty in yielding up his opinion in
deference to his learned brothers. The rule, therefore, must be
made absolute, for discharging the defendant on common bail.

Tag RIMS, ON THE PROSECITTION OF THE MARQUIS OF
RRRRR ORD R. THI, HON. AUO. lITANHOPE.

This day gaving been appointed to ascertain what amount of bail
the honourable defendant should put in as security for his keeping
the pewee to the Marquis of Hertford,
Mr. BItoUGRAII, who is retained for the Honourable M r
Stanhope, requeited the Court to let the awe stood over till to-
morrow, for the accommodation of Counsel.

Air. AT TORNEY-GE N IAL, who is on the other side, said that
he had 1,4) obit-ciao:l to; let the case stand over for the aceotomoda-
usio of Mr. Brougham.

THE KING V. DLIDWAN.

The defendant was tried on an indictment for perjury, before
Mr. Justice Bayley et the last Assizes. The perjury was corn-
mined in an affidavit which the defendant made before a Master I
Extraordinary in Chancery, for the purpose of superseding the em-
anation which had been issued against him. He was found guilty.
The defendant was this day brought up to receive judgment.
Mr. ADoLPRUI moved in arrest on two grounds; first, that
the indictment, after assigning the perjury, stated that " they were
and ere material in the matter of John Dudman, a bankrupt,"
without averring that the affidavit was made with a view to sup-
porting the commission, or any judicial proceeding connected with
tt Tric second objeczion was to a variance in the second count of
the indictment between the petition, as set out in the indictment,
and the petition itself, when produced, the word " commission"
bring used in the former, for " Commissioners" in the latter. In
support of this objection, Mr. Adolphus referred to the King v.
Beach, reported in Douglas, and illustrated the evil consequences
whkh might ensue from any change, however small, by observing,
that tf he should say of a speech made by any of his Learned
Friends that it was very " facetious," what a strange alteration
'night be effected in the tenor and bearing of his remark, if any
one in reporting is. should Mange a single letter, for it might then
bacesne a most " factious" speech.
Mr. Commissioner LAW argued at great length, in reply to the
iLst objection, relying principally on Crossiers case, 7 l'erni Rep.
$l6; as to the second, he cited Johnson's Dictionary to show that
• ealemission" might well be taken to intend " commissioners,"
as of the signification* given to this word by that learned lexico-
raber being, " a number of people joined together in a trust or
Akr. Arroxra us replied.

-•- - •
The LORD CHM,' JOILTICi said, that It Would besufficient to '
sustain the conviction if any one of the counts of the indictment
was good ; and they were satisfied, from the very clear and distinct
argument of 31r. -Law, that the second count may be sustained.
It is not neee.sary, therefore. to Inquire into the Brat, and see
whether enough can be picked out of the affidavits to show that it
was made in the course of a judicial proceeding respecting the
bankruptcy. The word " Commission" is certainly equivocal; it
may Import either the Commissioners themselves, or the duty with
which they lore charged. It is quite clear from :he context to this
case, that the former only can be the meaning of the word.
The defendant, who had been looking towards the Judges with
intense anxiety while delivering their opinion, woe then ordered to
be re-committed to the custody of the 3latshai till the second day
of next term, when he is to be again brought up (or judgment.

CRIMINAL INFORMATIONS.
Mr. SCAILETT moved for a criminal information sTainst Mr.
Hartley and two other gentlemen, commissioners of paving, watch.
ing, and lighting. for the eastern division of the borough of South-
wark, rot a misapplication of the funds pieced at their disposal.
Their powers are derived from the Oth Geo.III, by which they
were constituted: they elect their successors. They are to apply
tile money collected under !heroics which they are empowered to
make for the purposes specified ip the Act, and no other whatever.
They are purely a Ministerial body, and yet, on their own account,
and without at all consulting the inhabitants of the division, they
have repeatedly, and in direct opposition to the wishes of these
inhabitants, made applicati•n to Parliament for an Act to enlarge
their powers, which are already sufficiently extensive. The ex-
penile' incurred in these applications they have paid out of the
funds collected by the rates. Sonic terms ago, Mr. Scarlett applied
to this Cour: for a rule to show cause wily a warrant of mandamus
should not issue against these Commissio:ers calling upon
them to repay the money they had thus disbursed. This rule
the Court granted, and no cause has yet been shown.
The ATTONNEYMENERAL here said, that they had been
ready to show cause any time this fortnight.
3lr. SCARLETT went on to state some irregularities as to the
time of taming the rates and the mode of assessment, whereby the
inhabitants bad been prevented front appealing against it. and the
property of the Commissioners had been valued in the contribu-
tion to this rate, lower than they had themselves valued it for
another purpose.
Mr. Justice BATLEY—When were these monies paid ?
Mr. SCARLETT—In September. lOU
Mr. Justice BAYLEY—Arc their accounts subject to no re-
version ?

Mr. SCARLETT—OnIy by themselves.
The Loan Out, JUSTICE--It is the practice of this Court
not to grant a criminal information against a public body at so
late a day of term.
Mr. SCARLILTT-1 never knew that there was any difference
between one day and another, except as to the last day of term.
Mr Justice DAYLLY here read the rule to which the Lord Chief
Justice had averted, from which it appeared that it was not usual
to grant a ride like the present so late in term that the other
party would not have an opportunity of showing cause.
The Court suggested to Mr. Scarlett, whether, under all the cir.
eumstances, especially as the writ of mandantus had not been dis-
posed of, he had not better take time to consider, and make this
motion on the first day next term.
Mr. SCAR LETT seceded. _ _

Afr. Sergeant WILDE moved for a rule to show cause why a
criminal iutormation, in the nature of a writ of quo warraato,
should not be tiled against two gentlemen, who are the Sheriffs of
the town and county of Bristol. Ile moved on two grounds : the
first was, that then gentlemen had already served the office of
Sheriff within the last three years, and consequently, by the
Statutes of 14 Ed. 111, ch. 2, and Rich. 11, ch. 7, against Sheriffs
" tarrying too long in their bailiwicks," were not yet re-eligible.
The second ground way this :—That, by the original charter, the
Sheriffs ought to be elected by the Burgesses, whereas these
genthmen had been elected by the Common Council. The
Died Sergeant then mated, that the first charter which related
to the Corporation of Bristol was the 47th Ede. 111, by which
it was governed up to the reign of Charles 11, when the first
charter was surrendered, and a new one granted in the first year
of the reign of that Monarch. By this last charter the election
of Sheriffs was vested in the Common Council.

Mr. Justice BATLEY—What has been the usage within the last
fifty years ?
Mr. Sergeant WILDE said that this did not appear, hut he pre.
sumed it had been conformable to the new charter of Charles 11.
He had affidavits that the surrender of the old charter had
never been enrolled, and also an affidavit of the burgess on
whose behalf he toured, that on the day for electing Sheriff's he
bad presented himself, but that the Common Council refused to
receive his vote. _ _

The Court granted a rule to show cause.
TIIE KING V. HALL.

The defendant, at the last sittings for London, was convicted
of a nuisance, in keeping a slaughter. house for bullocks and other
horned cattle, in IV2rwick-lane. . . .

The COMMON SERGEANT now said, that he should not pray
judgment on the defendant till the second day of next term, on the
understanding that in the meantime the nuisance should be abated.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS: %Visrmixgria.

FRIDAY. Nov. 25.

STRONG V. GARVEY.

This was an action on a policy of insurance. Both the plaintiff
and defendant were merchants, and members of a society called
" The Pacific Mutual Assurance Association." The plaintiff was
the owner of the ship Waterloo, on which vessel the policy was ef.
fected ; the names of all the members of the Association being sub.
scribed, without however specifying the amount, as in other policies,
of the sum for which each subscriber considered himself liable. On
the back of the policy were a number of rules by which the sub
scribers bound themselves to abide, and the last of which declared
they were to be considered as of as great effect as if they formed part
of the policy. Among other articles in these rules was one which
expressly said that every insurer subscribed, severally and respec.
lively, for himself and himself alone. It was a time policy, to en-
sure the Waterloo from the 15th of February, BM, to the 15th
February, 1823. In the summer of 1822 the ship suffered some
daniage, and was obliged to put into Savannah. The plaintiff then
brought his action against the defendant for his proportion. A
special verdict was taken for the plaintiff, leaving the points of law
for the decision of the Court. The two questioi.s that now came on
for argument wire, first, ‘Thether the Association was not a part-
nership, and therefore illegal, by. the Act 6th Geo. 1., which prolii.
bited all partnerships in policies, and was passed to protect the
monopoly of the Royal txchanga Assurance ? The szeond point
was. Whether a tender, that had been proved eta the trial, was
1 •gal ?
The Cot at were of opinion that that article which declared each
member subscribed for himself alone, showed as plainly as possible
that this was not a partnership. ‘Vith regard to the tender, it was
merely proved at the trial that the defendant's attorney tendered the
plaintiff's attorney a gross sum, as the amount which the united
subscribers were liable to pay. If the plaintiff hail accepted it. he
would have been precluded trout pursuing his cl lions on the differ-
ent members any further. The law of tender was that it should be
made without conditions: this was clearly a condition, and the
plaintiff was justified in not accepting it. The verdict therefore
must stand.

CONSISTORY COURT, FRIDAY, N0v.26.

[Before Sir Curs roputit Roßiraoir.l
THOMAS BLUM v. ELEANOR MIS WIPE.

In this case, in which Files. Bligh was charged with an adulter.
OUR intercourse with the Honourable William Pole Tilney Long
Wellesley,
Dr. JENXER moved the Court that Mrs. Bligh should be
placed in contempt, in order that proceedings may go on. This ap-
plication was made on the ground that every possible attempt had
been tried, although unsuccessfully, to serve on Mrs. Bligh the
citation which had issued from the Consistory Court, in 1323.
In support of the motion various affidavits were produced, from
which it appeared, that when the citation was issued Mrs. Bligh
resided at Florence, where a Mr. Howard waited upon her, and
tendered the citation, which Mrs. Bligh refused to accept, unless
Mr. Wellesley (meaning the Hon. W. P. T. b. Itiellesleyl ad.
vised her to do so. Mr. Howard then applied to the lion. W. P.
T. L. Wellesley. who replied that he would not advise Mrs. Bligh
to accept the citation, unless he should be so advised by his counsel.
Subsequently, endeavours were made to serve the cita'ion upon
Mrs. Bligh when she resided with Mr. B'ellealey, at Paris, and
application was made to Lend Grenville, the British Ambassador,
to facilitate this object. The person etnployed did not succeed in
seeing Mrs. thigh, but a copy of ti.e citation was left in an apart-
ment of the house where she resided, and laid amongst books
which contained her name is her own hand-writing. Supple-
mental to this evidence was the affidavir of Dr. Bolkeley. of
Dover-street, who stated that aim. Bligh mentioned to hint that
&citation had issued to her from the Consistory Court. Under all
these circumstances, the ',earned Doctor submitted that, although
no citation was personally served, the object of the citation had
been obtained. The object, he presumed, von to convey to the
party to whons it was addressed the knowledge that proceedings
were aboutto be instituted, and to acquaint her where she should
appear to answer them. In the present case this object had been
effected; lie, therefore, prayed the Court to pronounce Mrs. Bligh
in contempt, in order that proceedings may commence.
Ih. LUSHINGTON was wills Dr. JENNER, and argued, that
the service in the present ease was as nearly in accordance with the
ordinary customs of the Court as the roistance made by Mrs.
Bligh would allow. Though she had not accepted the citation,
there was no doubt that its contents were brought to her know.
ledge substantially. There was no authority by force to oppose
the resistance to a citation, but a copy was left in the roans of •
house where she resided at Paris. If she resided in London,
throwing it down the area of the house would be held a sufficient
service. In support of this position, there was the ease of Tended,
which was a suit brought by the wife for impotency. In this case
it was held that thmwiug a citation down the area was a sufficient
service, but as it was known that Tenduci then resided at Naples.
the Court refused to deliver its judgment until an attempt was
made to WS, the citation upon him there. Under all these circum-
stances, he thought no injustice could be done by pronouncing Mrs.
Blight in contempt.
Sir C. ROBINSON said he was disposed to facilitate the process
and give any aesistanee in his power; but it was the ditty of the
Court to take care that the future proceedinos should not be ob-
structed by any present irregularity. Ile should thereture take
those to consider the application.
Dr. LUSHINOTON—We are very peculiarly circumstanced in
' the case. A principal evidence is dead, and we fear the loss of

hopes. Mr. flan said, that he occupied a bed-room over the sta-
bles, wherein the prisoner's brother and the prisoner himself were
employed, the termer as assistant or helper, and the latter as an
occasional courier. From the prisoner's showy appearance and
11.
mited means, coupled with other circumstances, suspicion had
plaied the robbery to his account.
Mrs. Hall, with whom the prisoner lodged, said, that she had
often been surprised at the manner in which he dressed, and the
profusion of money which he displayed. She had also missed the
key of a press in her kitchen, to which the prisoner had access—
this key had been filed down so as to open almost any common
lock, and after it was missed she remarked the prisoner always to
have plenty of money.
Mr. Ham stated that this key was tried to the German's box, and
opened it readily.
Mr. Root its said, that he never met with a more flagrant case
of plunder. nor one that presented stronger claims for public sym-
pathy—it might be truly said of this, poor sufl'ering man, that
misery had marked him to her own."
The prisoner denied any knowledge of the robbery, and said that
he wns enabled to make the appearance he did, through the libera-
lity of the gentleman by whom he was occasionally employed.
Mr. ROGERS having some doubts on that, thought proper to
remand him for further examination on Wednesday.

DISTRESS OF THE BRADFORD TCRX-OUTs
—....,_

We stated last week that about 1700 of these misguided
men found it impossible on any terms to obtain employ.
ment, and that the resources of the Union were entirely
drained. It now appears that, embracing the wives ani,
children of the unfortunate beings, the total number at
present in a state of the most abject destitution is nearly
3,000 ! All hope too, we believe, of collecting from the
are pantry,.
working classes sums capable of affording this vast maggot
sufferers as much as one penny a week each in future, are
vanished. The appalling extremity of

into which they have fallen is described by an eye-witiast
in terms that freeze the soul. They are said to be " with.

A Coroner's Inquest was held on iVedneslay on the
body of West, the domestic in Lord Liverpool's family,
whose melancholy death we noticed yesterday. The Jury
brought in a verdict of "Accidental Death."
MITaDEROUS OUTIAGE.--Mr. Cowry, a respectable
merchant, of Ble, county Roscommon, went on Sunday
last to IlighwoM, in the county of Sligo, adistance of sii
miles, to transact some business with the Roman Catholi:
clergyman of that parish. After staying some time nu'.,
his reverend friend, he proceeded towards home, but Itatl
scarcely gone half a mile, when, in a retired hollow of the
road, he was violently assaulted by two men, one of aliens
seized his horse by the bridle, and struck Mr. Coury with
a stick, while the other attacked him from behind. Afar
a gallant and protracted resistance, during which Mr.
Coury had received several desperate wounds, be would
have succeeded in making his escapehad not one of the
lains struck him from behind with a stone, at least seven
pounds in weight, which knocked him almost lifeless int.,
the ditch at the road side. The cold-blooded assassins thin
walked leisurely off, but returned almost immediatelr,
when, in order to insure the death of their helpless victire..
they precipitated an immense stone on Iris head. The,
then departed, and soon after the unfortunate gentlernai
was discovered by some persons who were passing, an!
carried by them to the house of the Rev. Mr. Shaw, recta
of Kilmackabranny, from whence he was that night con.
veyed to Boyle, covered with wounds, and almost exhaustal
from the loss of blood.—Dublin Paper.

half, discovered his watch to be missing. Ile immediately
reported the circumstance to a resident Magistrate, end
asked his advice on the subject. The Worthy Magistrate
observed, that in all probability the thief was by that time
beyond the reach of apprehension ; however, he reeom•
mended the poor man to lose no time in going to a police
officer (Pardoe), and stating the particulars to him. Away
the man ran, as fast as be was able, towards York, and be.

perceived a man to be walking before him. No sooner did
this man see the person robbed, apparently, pursuing him,
than he instantly ran off himself, at the same time dropping
something from his band, and taking the feta-road in the
direction of Holdgate. The person who had been robbed
presently lost sight of the person absconding, but when the
former had arrived at the place where he had observed
