" all persons whomsoever, front keeping the coffee-
room open, or ineetin4 therein, on Sabbath, dur.

RIND V. SCARRATT AND CO.

This was an setinn for the recovery of the amount
of w qnsntity of goods sold and delivered by Pima-
tiff to Defendants.

It wag staled on the pert of the Plaintiff, that
the Defendruto havinga desire to send several cases
of j .!wellery and hardware to Buenos Ayres, in the
year lattS, they applied to the Plaintiff to supply
them.. which he accordingly diJ, mid the present
action was brought to recover the amount.
The defence art up was, that, at the period
whet; the Kaiak fir sending goods to South Ame-
rica was at nil height, the Plaintiff. who was ac-
quainted with the Dileildinits, wishing to partici-
pate in the golden circulations which had ruined so
many, applied for a,.rf obtained a share in two ves-
sels. the Active anti Elliott. belonging to them,
which were nil the eve of sailing with a venture for
South America : on hoard the latter of these ves-
sels he had shipped the goods which were the sub-
ject of the present action. The venture, however,
turning out very unproductive, and a bankruptcy
hanging over the Defendants' head'', in consequence
of the great 'linens.. they were put to in fitting out
the vessels, the-Plaintiff thought fit totally to dis-
claim the transaction. as being at all connected
with a partnership though, in point of fact, he was
really and bum fide a partner in the venture; and
his retraction arose from a fear that he should be
called on for his quota towards the payment, gene--
rally. of the cargoes with which the vessels were
freighted.

Certain accounts were put in, which, it was de-
posed by the clerk of Xlersre. Scsrnitt and Co. had
been perused by Mr. Bird. in which he was instill-
.cated in the partnership nextve. and to which ac-
counts he had not at the time objected. This evi-
deism was ilreinA decisive of the fart on the part-
uership, and Plaintiff was ordered to he called.

would, first of all, regard the commencement of the
Expeditioh.
Sir laAsicrs BUaOUTT conceived, that one defect
in the papers before them was, they contained no
instructions from the Commander-in-Chief to the
Officers under him ; and no report of these thlicers
upon such instructions.
Lord C•67II.EBEAGIi observed, that the instruc-
tions alluded to by the pion. Baronet could not,
from the nature of the Conarti.indar-in-Chief's
office, be given from the IVar Department.
Mr. CILOILER suggested the propriety of referring
any deficiency of information to the consideration of
• Select Committee.

After a few words from Mr. Wirass, Lord CAS.
TLIREAGII, and Mr. TSCIINST,

The CHANCELLOR of the Emits:Gees approved
of the suggestion made by his Hon. Friend (Mr.
Croke!), that a Secret Committee should deter-
mine on the papers necessary, and for that purpose
he would move for the appointment of such Com-
mittee on Monday.
Mr. TIERNEY remarked, that the Chancellor of
the Exchequer ought to be reminded, this inquiry
W.llll altogether contrary to his opinion ; but, instead
of delaying till Monday, lie should propose the
subject be taken, into immediate consideration tins
evening.
Mr. CANNING thought that the military part of
this proceeding should be referred to another tri-
bunal. With respect to the 'Airy of the Expedi-
tion, taken into consideration as to the state of
Europe, if that were to be condemned, all, without
exception, who were in His Majesty's Gove►nment
at the time, were responsible. He should hold
himself responsible for so much of the proceeding,
with the rest of the Administration. But his situa-
tion had been so far changed since that period, that
he lutist observe, in respect to some circumstances,
he did not consider himself responsible. If relin-
quishing, for instance, the island of Walcherea,
were wrong, in that part of their conduct he had
no participation. It appeared to him more thou
pomade. that, is the course of this examination,
blame would be attached somewhere; and altho'
he had taken this opportunity of making a few ob-
servations, he felt restrained from saying much on
the occasion, because he foresaw an active inter-
ference alight lie construed into an attempt of
throwing the blame from himself upon others. Ile
should, therefore, reserve himself as much as pos-
sible, during the sequel of their proceedings on this
Inquiry.
Upon the motion of Lord PoitCHESTER. the
papers on the table were refeirrd to the Committee.
Upon the question bring pia, that the House
resolve itself into a Committee of the whole House,
for the purpose of inquiry into the Expedition to
the Scheldt.

Mr. YOR.Kg rose, and moved the Standing Order
of the House. that strangers lie excluded.

Strangers were secordingly obliged to withdraw ;
hut. upon leavin., the gallery, a luud tad general
hiss ensued, which disorderly noise was heard with
