COURT OF CHANCRRY, Sartramr, ?Arnim* 6.

This being the first day of:she Term. the LORD
CHAwect.i.oft came down in the usual state to
Westminster Hall, accompanied hr the MASTER
of the Rota.% the VICS-CH•PiCELLOR, the Judges,
&c.

MORDFN D. AIR W. CURTI9 AND DTHENS.
The case Caine on by a motion instle• by Mr.
WETIIIINFLI., praying for a special injunction to
restrain the Defendants and the Hon. Esst India
Company. from disposing of certain goods which
were in the warehouses of the Company. The
Plaintiff had several dealings with a firm of Bow-
man and Co. and several riccentancev were down
out, which were taken by Roberts and Curtis.
When the same became due, they were not paid,
and, therefore. the firm of Bowman and Co. gave
the home of Roberts and Cuitia certain warrant*
fur the goods in the warehouses, which warrants
were the same es those usually granted by the East
India Company.on goods in their possession. The
ground of the present application was, that Bow.
man and Co. being mere factors for the cotton,
had no right to give any lien on what was not their
property; and as there was every reason to believe
the cotton would be.disposed of, the present EDO.
.tionvvas to prevent it.

The LORD CUANCILLOR—" You may take the
injunction, but let ounce be served forthwith on
the parties."

ALDCiMAN WOOD AND OTBIDIS V. ROL
In this ease application was made for longer time
to file a bill, and to prevent certain attachments
from being issued against the Plaintiff. The
Court gave no immediate judgment, excepting •
delay of the case till Tursday ; and in the interim
no attachment can be isi•ed.

HEAL. AND OTHERS y. IRASHLIEWR.
This Defendant had large estates in Cornwall,
on one of which he had erected a considerable num-
ber of houses, ■nd employed an agent, who after-
wards became a bankrupt, and gave the Defendant
certain leases and deeds. The other creditors raised
actions fur the recovery of these, in which they suc-
ceeded, and the present was an application for
• receiver of the rents and profits. No decision will
be given till Tuesday.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Saimaa; Moveless: O.

So early as ten o'clock. Mr. HUNT, accompa-
nied by Mr. KNIGHT, of Manchester, and Mr.
MOORHOUSE, made their appearance in West-
minster Hall, as also did Major CARTWRIGHT,
accompanied by Mr. PC•RION, his Solicitor, in
the expectation that the Court would sit at
that hour. They remained in attendance until
the Court sat, when' they took their places,
the relievable Major in the Jury Box, and Mr.
HUNT and Ibis Wends in the seat under that
occupied by the Officers of the Court.

CRIMINAL INFORMATION.
Mr. Guam EY rose and moved fur a rule to shew
cause why • criminal information should not be filed
against Richard Carlile and his wife, fur the pub-
lication of blasphemous libels. The Learned Gen-
tleman said, it was hardly necessary for the purpose
of the present information, to inform the Court, that
Carlile had lately been tried and convicted for the
publication of two blasphemous libels, one of which
was a book called The Age of Regime, in three
parts. In the course of that trial Carlile occupied
the Conn with the disgusting recital of the whole
of that infamous and blasphemous book, and lie was
now engaged in dis►eminating the libel in the
cheapest possible way,- viz; by publishing it in
parts, purporting to be•a report of his trial, •nd
selling it at two-pence • sheet, the whole to be
finished in 40 sheets. The Learned Counsel sup.
ported his motion by quoting cases in which similar
,applications had been acceded to by the Court.
Mr. Jastice BATLEY—" You are forced to hear
in Court, in the shape of a defence, very objec-
tionable matter, which cannot be published else-
where."

Mr. Cinemalr ibid. his object was to check, if
possible. • practice that would defeat every pur-
pose of 'ustit•e.
The CHIRP JUSTICE—u You stale in your affi-
davit, 1 presume, that the wife sold some of these
sheets ; but how does that affect the husband 1"

Mr. GUIINET" He is in prison, and she
tarries on the business in his shop, and on his ac-
count. This is prima facie proof as against him—
at all events, it is enough to call nn him to shew
cause."

CHIEF JUSTICE—" The ordinary course here is to
require evidence on your affidavit against all the
persons to whom your motion applies. You say,
Richard Carlile is not at home, but • prisoner,
How then can he be implicated in the act ?"
Mr. GURNEY replied, the shop was his, and the
business carrying un on his account, but lie ad-
mitted he was unable to state mote than the affi-
(Lett contained.

Mr. Justice BATLIT said. there was • g►eat dif.
ference in • man's having • shop to which he had
access, and one from which he was debarred access
by legal detention.
The Courts were unanimously of opinion. that.
as the affidavit stood. there was not sufficient evi.
dence to affect the husband. but granted the rwle
to sheto comae against the wife.

WRIT OF PROHIBITION.
Mr. EVANS said he had to apply to their Lord-
ships on the part of Mr. Cowan, assignee of T.
Richmond, as bankrupt, for • writ of prohibition
to the Lord High. Chancellor, sitting in bmtik.
