FROM TUESDAY NIGHT'S GAZETTE.
..,.....

THE Lillie V. ILSHAW.
Mr. Princep obtained a writ of Habeas Corpus to
bring up the defendant from Lancaster gaol. Ihe de.
feridant was charged with a rape on his sen•ant, and
commitied on that charge. The affidavit in support of
the application set forth, that although the prosecu►rix
stated the crime to be co►ttn►itted on a Saturday, she
made nucomplaint mail two ur three days alter. Other
circumstances were stated which induced the Court to
grant the writ.

THE MIND V. HYAM HAMMY.
Mr. Barnet moved for a rule to chew cause why Mr.
Elias Isaacs, au attorney of the court, should nut pay
back a certain soul of 2001. and answer the matters
contaiiittl in the following atlalavit. The affidavit, which
Mr. Andrews then read, stated these facts :—Mr. J. Ca-
pua, an orange merchant in Houtidaditch, on the Ist of
July last, possessed a certain bank note,value 3001. and
upon the 4th July, either by accident or robbery, lost the
same. knowing the number of his note, the loser
forthwith stopped it at the Bank, and advertised, in The
Times newspaper, a reward of 1001. to whoever should
restore it. Alter some days' anziety,Mr.Captia received
intimation that MI. Obi Isaacs had something to cam-
niunicate, and waited upon that gentleman at his house.
Mr. Isaacs received his visitor with much formality;
Muss Isaacs was desired to quit die chamber of confe-
rence; and Mr. Isaacs then said, " I have heard of your
note: witliiu these few days it would nave been at Leg-
. 110,11; but if you will give 20401. instead of the tool. yin
have offered, you shall have it, and that will be a saving
of 1001. to yon." Possessed with the merits of this
ingenious calculation, Mr. Canua left the house of Mr.
Isaacs, and tail( advice 114X111 the course which he should
latrine; he returned, and consented to give the sum
demanded. Mr. Isaacs then said, "Give me 20 ten-
pound notes, and you shall have your bill." Mr.Capua
(duetted, "As I have stopped the rote, it is hard I
should pay so much;" but his interlocutor remarked,
that " aganist a bona fide holder the Bank could not
stop payment." The 2tail. were then paid; Mr.Capua
was desired to go hoitie,and to call again in a short time
for bus note; but ne had scarcely reached his own house
' when the note wrapped in a piece of paper,was brought
by a man of the name of Yates, a clerk of Mr. Isaacs.
With the result of this transactiou, Mr. Andrews coon-
nued, Mr. Capita, as the Court would suppose. could not
be eatislied• He applied to the Lord Mayor; Mr. Isaacs
was ed, and called upon-to account for having
the note in his possetsiou, and to give up the name or
the party on whose behalf he hau been acting. lie
refused to do so, and it was riot until he was threatened
with coniuiittal, and informed that, under the Act 411 t
Geo. 111. commonly called Jonathan Wild's Act, he
would probably be liable to prosecution for felony, that
lie said he had received a note from a man of the name
of Solomon'. To holomons Mr. Andrews proceeded;
no application had been made either to confirm or to
disprove the truth of the statement made by Mr. Isaacs;
but there was one particular circumstance about that
gentleman's conduct especially deserving the attentko
of the Court. The 3001. note was in his hands. How
did he know that it belonged to Mr. Capita? Not 110111
the advertisement, for the advertisement gave au A.
address at the house of another person. How. he wisiittl
to know, and from what source, did Mr. Isaacs get his
information?
Mr. Justice Best thought that the rule hail better be
drawn tip with the alternative "or be struck off the
rolls."
Mr. Justice Bayley agreed, as it was possible the Cowl
might think that Mr. Isaacs had acted contrary to his
duty as an attorney, by lending hisnielf to such a trails-
, action.—ltule granted

ARGUMENT FOR A NEW TRIAL.--TIIT KING V. SIR
F. MURIMTT.
The continuation of the argument in this case in sup-
port of d new trial,came on according to special appoint-
ment.
Mr. Blackburn, who was partly heard on Thursday
last, agai.i addressed the court. and resumed his former
lute or argument. The Learned Gentlemen on the
other side had contended, that writing a libel witliont
publication was a c c. They had contended also,
a libel might be written in one county and published
is onorier, and that the parties were liable to be
tried in either county. To this proposition of law Mr.
Blackburn could not accede. The authorities decide
the contrary. The crime was not complete without two
acts, naun the writing and publishing. Writing
without putilication was no crime. The propwitiou
