We certainly expected that all the vespectahle
inhabitants of Greenock and Port Glasgow would
unite in the determination to forget, as speedily as
possible, the late unfortunate affair ut which these
two woos were involved ; but we are sorry to see
thst the details sae contisitted, nod something ap-
proaching to SI controversy rowed upon. This is
the more to be regretted, is we observe several of
the London Pipers are disposed to ascribe the
whole business to a mean and contemptible jealousy
betwixt the two places. Such grudges, no doubt.

-

The State Trials at the Old Bailey having been
adjourned over till Friday, the Lord Chief Justice
took his seat on the Bench this morning with his
Learned Brethren. .
M twelve o'clock Mr. BROUGHAM and Mr.
DENMAN entered the Court, dressed in new silk
gowns, and in full wigs, and took their seats in the
Ent row behind the bar.
The CHIRP JUSTICE immediately addressed them
as follows:
" Mr. BROUGHAM, you having reported to me
that her Majesty the Quiets has been graciously
pleased to appoint you her MAJESTY'S ArroittiET.-
GENERAL, you will take your place within the bar
with the rank which belongs to you."
Mr. BROUGHAM immediately took his place within
the Bar, and made his obeisance to the Court.
The Gentlemen of the Bar rose as he entered.
The CHIEF JUSTICE then addressed Mr. DEN-
MAN—" You having reported to me that her Ma-
jesty the QUEEN has been graciously pleased to
appoint you her Majesty's Solicitor-General, you
will take your place within the bar with the rank
which belongs to you."
Mr. DENMAN Immediately took his place within

ceived the same mark of respect from the Gentle-
men of the Bar, as the Queen's Attorney-General.
They were severally asked by the Court if they

LLOYD F. EDWAkDS.
Mr. D. Por.t.oc• moved for a rule to chew cause
why the Defendant, an Attorney of the Court. car-
rying on business at Oswestry, should not deliver
into the hands of another solicitor, to be named by
the Plaintiff, the articles of apprenticeship, by which
the latter had been bound to him, and such portion
of the fee paid on that account as to the Court
should seem proper. It appeared from the Plein-
tiff's affidavit, that he had paid a fee of 5001. to the
Defendant, and had been articled to him in due
form. After having served a considerable time of his
clerkship, he went one morning to the office as he
had been accustomed, and found it locked against
him. The next morning. and the morning after
that. he was also excluded ; upon which he wrote a
note to Mr. Edwards, desiring so explanation of
his conduct. He received an answer in the Welsh
language from that Gentleman, informing him that
the reason of his exclusion was his not having been
at the office at a proper hour 011 r certain morning
mentioned, arid that he should not be admitted any
more. The Plaintiff afterwards made • demand in
writing of his articles and • portion of the fee, but
the other party refused to do either, saying, he would
reserve himself for the discussion of the question in
• court of law.
The Court granted the rule Nisi.

SIR FRANCIS HOLYOKE V. FRANCIS HOLYOKE,
AND HENRY HOLYOKE.
Mr. JARYIS moved fur a rule to skew cause why
a criminal information should not he tiled against
the Defendants on the following facts set forth in
the affidavit of his client :
Some time since the first of the D-fendants was
examined as a witness on a to isl. on the warranty of
a horse at Stafford, in which the Plaintiff was toter-
rated. The evidence which he gave on that occasion
drew forth the following observation afterwards from
the deponent —" I was sorry when you used the
word thought, it almost choked you." This did
not appear to excite tiny angry feelings at the time.
but the deponent some ' afterwards being in the
town of Wolverhampton, was addressed by the
second Defeudant, who told him that he had the
honour of being the bearer of a letter from his bro-
ther, which he delivered. ft ran nearly in the fol-
lowing terms:—" The expressions you have used
of rogue—robbed me of 4001.—sod that the word
thought nearly choked me, require explanation.
My brother, a Lieutenant in the army, waits on
you for that purpose—otherwise you will please to
appoint with loin • time and place to meet me,"
4. and (as the deponent believed was added) give me
satisfaction." Deponent, on reading it. dAted
having made use of the language imputed to
him ; but the Lester of tire message said lie
hail nothing to do with that, and demanded
whether hi would give his brother the satisfac-
tion required 1 He replied. certainly not, and
that it could scarcely be expected lie would. Mr.
H. Holyoke upon that raised his hand in a threat-
ening mariner, and exclaimed aloud in the public
street, where the conversation had been held, "You
are a blackguard. and • d—d coward ;" repeating
the smite expressions in another part of the town, at
a very short distance. lie also wished to leave •
written paper, for the purpose of posting the De.
!indent at, an inn, but; sberioni7keeper would not
receive it. Other facts werandst forth in the affidavit.
with • view to phew that the parties had continued
011 good terms for some time after the first offensive
words had been used.
The CHIEF JUSTICE gave the opinion of the
Court. that this was a more fit case for a Grand
Jury. unless in the mean time tome comma
friend should interpose between the partin.
The application was therefore not acceded to.
