COURT OF CO.V.VON COUNCIL.

"".'hursday a Court of Common Council was held, which was
eery numerously attended. Before the business of the day cont.
menced.
Mr. Dixon said, he had a question of the greatest importance to
coinalimity to put to the Lord Mayor. He wished to know whe-
tter the ,public had benefited by the change that had been made
with respect to the regulations relative to bread. It had been stated
le 'he newspapers, and by eeveral respectable corn dealers with whom
Lee had communications, that there was a constant regular •fallef the
material weekly. It might therefiwe be presumed, that the public
would feel the effect of that decrease ,in the price. his object was
not to entrap by thus suddenly putting a question of such impor-
tance, on the contrary, he should rather have an answer predated
from a consultation with the Alffirmen, if his Lordship thought it
necessary to refer the question VP the Court. We understood the
I turd Mayer to have said, that. the question required the deliberation
s.iggested.
.tfr. 01.ntea in roec to present a memorial from the Commissioners
of the Court of Requests. in the flomis.th of Southwark, Which
-contained sonic charges against the Chief Bailiff of Southway*. The
Member olywrved, that much inconvenience had arisen from the
confined size of the place in which the business of suitors was trans-
acted, Ina that the complaint made to that effect to the Court had
been disregarded. A complaint was now made, which he truttcl
would meet with snore attention. It had been formerly the case that
the Deputy Bailiff allowed the clerks of the Court of Requests a
certain salary tow transacting hi.s. business. 'rite Chiet Bailiff now
. insister, on receiving in person his own fees, to which lie was certainly
eluded ; but he also insisted that the clerks should send all suitors
front the Court of Retprescs, Snow's-tieltl, to St. Margaret's-hill,
where the Chief Bailiff a Office was. The inconveniences resulting
from such an alteration we/indeed very grcat,and the Commissioners,
`Up the sake of *he public, who were to be the great sufferers, had
timught necessary to make an application to the Court, all aims at
a mutual aerommodation hiving proved ineffectual. Mr. Oldham
to oved, that the Memorial be referred to a Special Committee.
Mr. Dixon said, the merits of the question should not be entered
i!.. e before Mr. Prinsep, who had acted with the most honourable
real since he came Into office, had ao opportunity of answering the
attack. The conduct he had adopted was indispensably necessary to
h• a dhertsl to, and had caused surprise, merely because the gentle-
roan who ffirmerly held the office had been unable, front the unfor-
tunate state of his finances, to ma in a similar mania:T. The mater
ought certainly to undergo It et:lions investigation, for which reason
lie should nova an aineedineat. t'hit tlo.. Memorial should be submit-
ted to the Committee for General Purposes.
Mr. Jacks was of opinion, that in the present stage of the business,
there shmild he so reference to a Comorittee, but that a copy of the
Memorial elsould be sent to the Cilia' Bailiff. in orilvr that he might
I:ave an Opel romity of replying to the clute;e. The fact was, that
the husinc r: of the Court of Requests ha.: been done, since Mr.
Psinsep eerie into office, with the: tit most dispatch; and that the
tlissatisf.crit n tit -rely arose from the rieitsal of the Gii•-f Bailiff to
nmunerahr the ender clerks it of hi-- own riA try, the injustice of
expecting which sacrifice was sufficiently palpable.
Mr. Pt ar,all regretted, that so respectablea /tide neaten or the
Caramissioners should have made a chaa ge ,gainer an individual who
'deserved stitch commendation. The Memorial was so artful one,

EQUALIZITION OE THE DUTY ON .CO.ILS.

Tuesday a numerous moving took place in th.: Egyptian Hall of
the Mansion House, for the purnoiti of netitioning. Parnell-win to
equalize the Duty Coals througlicot. tlee. kiegnolll ; the Lord
Mayor in the chair.
The Secretary re:d the rie,ult of the application to llinietars upon
the subject: which ww, that Clowrninent would fully consider the
propriety of the suggiauceis .aide by the deputieioa.
Mr. Jacks there proposed re,olatae.s. Ile observed that
London had stiffened much fret: epee preseut tax, which was uppity
sive and injurion. in an extr-me degree. It appeared that the
people of Surrey and Middlesex paid duty at the rate of its. per head
per annum, for man, WOW 111, and child ; and that in fourteen other
counties, the iivera,,-e was us: per head ; Wales about td.
per buil ; in Scott-nail, not one sixth of a farthing ; end in other
places no di.ty at all. Mr. Jacks then described the many additions
made to the tax eine ground of which was site necessity of building
churches; until it readied the preaert deplorable extreme of 911. 4d.
a chaldruu.—Every thing that occurred recently tended, in his view,
to rectify Mit inequality ; and the claims of the poor, to whom
warmth might be twuvidertd as necessary as hind, were now likely to
be intended to.; An oppoaltion could nut be entertained, except by
the manufacturers ut' iron iv %'s'aks and other parts; although, from
the calculations ha had made, lie found that the consequence of the
equalization ttr them woul t be very in:materiel, a consumption of
;0 horse power, nut exceeding one chaldron per day. or at most dou-
ble that quantity, and reaching infrgreater expense than ;ail. a year.
Ho should theretOre propose itcailutions, stating.the particulars of
the inequality, and declaring it to be unjust, oppressive,and injurious
to the auterest of the community. lie also prekenext a petition to
both Houses of Parliament, prayieg an ego:di:46cm of the Duties,
and stating the grounds of the application.
A Gentleman having moved that certain words in the resolutions,
which struck hint as likely to prove effensire, should be omitted.
Sir W.Curtis said, this wasp subject on whielkiisfullow citizens had
a right to command their Itepresentativee in Parliament. They knew
in what manner their interests wore oonoenied in a case efthis diacrip.
non e he should therefore go the whole length of the words, however
they might offend the delicacy of other people. Government, he had
no doubt, would pay every regard to the .application t for it never
could be in contemplation to levy an unequal taxation.
Mr. IS'aiithman concurred in the-Resolutions: He could not toe
why the Counties of Middlesex and Surrey should pay 600,0001.
whue is great portion of the eountryiVlClC exempted from tiny demand
at all. But one ti.ing had been overlooked. In addition to the tax,
the City was at an exorbitant expense, in having the Coals brought
to it, while those who resided on•the spot where the Coals were-dug
were at none, under any circumstances. The thing appeared more
unjust, as there was nu tart when the Ceal was 4 or se. a eh:l'lton
but there was an enormous one when it was at 50 or bus.
Mr. Rowcroft did not rue to oppose the notion. He, however,
thought it necessary that the question should be more deeply
ai-
quised into than seemed to have been the 484, and that it should be
referred to a Committee. He objected to the idea of making place,
where a production originated pay a duty upon that production equal

on Sunday night, and the next day proceeded towards Hereford.
MATCH AtiAlllllT TlME.—MOnday, two young men, of the
names of Gittbrd and Raissford. in the service ola respectable coach-
maker, tin wager of a pound, agreed to run a carriage wheel of equnt
dimensions. a ,certain distance. This mutest excited considerable
intetest amongst their friends, as both the competitors were known
to possess great &Leahy in the running of a wheel of the above tie-
aeription. The ground selected for this trial was in the New.road,
where a quarter of a mile was measured out. They started at four
o'clock, when Gifford took the lead, and was closely followed by his
opponent, who, the short distance they. went, lost it by about two yards:
the quarter of a mile was performed in two minutes:. when. in =-
sequence of this close contention between• them, another match was
made, and 51. deposited by the friends of each to run a distance of six
miles ter 101. a side, in the course of ten days. The place for this
is expected to be in the Edgware-road. and will excite much interest.
CUItIOUS CUICUMSTANCLC.—In the early part of 1817, the
Beavonslicki and London carrier had a small parcel delivered to him
to convey to town,. which, by some imitate he ne.er could surmise,
he lost on the road out of his pocket. Nothing was ever heard of the
parcel until a few days ago, when a carpenter repairing Hall Barn,
the seat of the Rev. 11. Waller. near Beaconsfield, accidently found
the lost parcel in perfect preservation in a Jackdowit nat.
On Monday evening last. after dark. the Rev. Henry Baker,
brother to Mr. Baker, the Magistrate of Marlborough-stie:t, was
stopped by two footpads, disguised as cour.tryinen, near Stevenage,
in -Hertfordshire, and robbed of a gold repeating watch, with two
gold seals. He gave the alarm as soon as prudence would show, and
the villains were traced by some persons as far as the %Vare-road,
but unfortunately meapeit the vigilance of their pursuers.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, MONDAY.
OUNDY %% TOE BANK OF ENGLAND.

This WM a rule obtained List ferm, Ly Brougham,
calling upon the delendanta to slit w cause why a writ of Alan.
damns should not issue, commanding them to proceed to
divide among all the members of thr corporation, fur the time
being, rateably in port.ons, the part, shares, and interest tut
the cumnion capital stock, of such profits as 11411 ilf:sCIA Cult
of the management of the said corporation, and haul nut been
so divided Miura the l9ub of March last, excepting the charge
of maintaining the blisiness of the said corporation.
Nil. A. Pi.,:got now appeared to spew cause against this
rule, and contended, flirt this Court had nn right, still less
any power, to interpose its authority to cows oul the manage.
meat of any Commercial Company in 145 pecuniary concerns i
fur, in fact, the niterpesition of such power vvottld be au as-
sumption of levrishitire authority. But supposini the Court
could attract to itself a power SO novel and ono eredented,
in this case it would appear,froin the law as it stood, that the
Governors of the Bank of Englund had no power to divide
the stock,or any part of it, or obey the mandate of the Coin t
in the terms now required.
Lord Ellenborotigh interposed, and asked whether the
corporator, who hail apple d for the interposition tif the Com t,
should not have used all such means, competent for him to
use, to attain the objet he bad in view, before he matte this
requisition—did it appear, that this Gentleman had dune all
that he cook] have dune towards obtaining the end in view?
Had be attended the meetings held for the, purpose of de-
claring dividends, and made any resistance to the proceed_
lugs of those meetings, or taken any step before the consii.
tuted authority of tile Corporation, to effect the purpose of
the present application ?.
. . _

sir A. Yiautt said, that Mr. Gandy, the applicant, Lad
certainly not taken those steps, and this was one of several
other flat answers to the application.
Lord Ellenborongh —lf there is that o!sjection applying to
this proceeding, I don't sec how this motion can be cuter.
tained,

Sir A. Piggott—The dividend was made on the 19th of
March, and it was declared by the General Cunsty and no
motion was made by Mr. Guudy for any larger or any oilier
dividend than .5 percent.
Lord Lllenborungla—Not made any objection or opposition
Slr A. Piggott—!'here was no mutton made by him for any
other dividend, nor did he make opposition to the divitleed
then declared.
Lord Eflunborough-1f a party does not dissent, he assent...
Mr. Brougham being ealkd upon for his answer to this tie,
jeetion, said, be felt himself obliged to admit, that it was fatal
in point of fonts to the present application. He had no doubt
of being able to satisfy the Court that there was an (pie' ping
of plants divisible in the hands of the Bank of Litglaud, inde-
pendent of all contingent demands upon them, and the bank-
ing capital necessary to carry on their hominess.
Lord Lllenburoaigh said, that this Gentleman could not
attain the object of his motion per rattem ; his motion should
first be made to the Ceart, competent to give information as to
the state of the funds of the Cut potation ; and if they did not
produce the required information, theta there might be au
application for a Mandamtis to compel them. Bid he war
now assuming what the result of the funds was, without adopt-
ing the pi open means of inquiring into the subject.
Mr. Brotighant said, he could shew by the Stith of Geo.
111. that two years since the Bank had divided 23 per cent.
profit upon their capital; but as he could out get over the
preliminary objection in point of form, he must withdraw the
motion, and come better prepared another time.
Sir A Piggott amid, that if the case had gone on he should
have referred to several clauses in the Act mentioned, which
W 01144 have afforded an answer to the application, in addition
IQ al others with winch he was prepared.
Mr. Searlett, on the mate side, said, that if the application
succeeded, no further dividend could be declared for years
to cone.—!tole discharged.

THI KING V. ARTHIVR 11111sTLEW00D.

The Attorney General moved the judgment of the Coln t
upon the defendant, who, it will be recollected, had brvta
found Why of sending a challenge to Lord Sidmontli, in
order to peoroke him to lied a dud.
Mr. Justice Bayley read user the evidence given on the
trial.

.......
The defendant being called on for his defence, said, he had
no affidavits to offer, but that after a trial of so nnprecedent•
ed a *attire as his hod been, he felt it kin ditty to protest
against the judgment of the Cairn, He had been incarcerat-
ed for the last seventeesr weeks, and es Lord Sidinotith had
stated, that his only object in the prosecution was pea a rota
security, he (Thistlevrood) could assure the Court that his!
Lordship was at present perfectly safe eis far as regarded hint.
He dirt not feel the least animosity against Lord Sidmouth,
and the challenge hail been produced Icy an impression that
his %offerings, as well as the loss of 1801 which he sustained
hy his confinement, had been occasioned by the conduct of
the Secretary of State towards hint.
The Attorney General then addressed the Court, and react
the challenge, which, he observed. could not bear two inter-
pretations. The object of Lord Soltuoisth was not only
persona/ but official also. It was with a view of protecting
all future Secretaries of State as well as himself that the pro-
secution hail been instittuted. Lord Sid mouth had merely
acted in his Magisterial capacity, in the conduct which seem..
ed to itave prosoked the defendant to summit the act of
%%hid, he had been found godly, and in the astute character
eras it that he now moved the judgment of the Court. His
Lordship's object a as, not that a severe aet.'.ener should be
prommticed on the defendant, but that he should be so dealt
with as to deter others from the commission of such illegal
and unjustifiable acts in future.
The Court consulted for a short time, after which,
Mr. Justice Bayley proceeded to pass sentence out the de..
fendant. He observed, that not a doubt could be entertained
either oldie regularity of the trial, or the propriety of the
verdict. The defendant had received great indulgence in
bring allotted to withdraw his plea of guilty, and he mutt
have loosen at that time that his trial wo►►ld take place atter

Mr. 'Fully appeared as Counsel fur the .plaintiff in this
ease. 'lke defendants bed suffered joilosent to go by de

was tickle to the payment of his wife's JIM', he conceived
himself entitled to her earniags.
Several witnesses were ben examiced, among whom the
peter
proved that he ha.: as interview with Mr.
Moot.• on the subject, who said, " We cannot look at
you ; Mrs. Glover iaeur labourer, end we shall pay her her
at:try—Oat is the rule of the Theatre."
c.lr, Pollock addressed thetiory ou the part of tbA defend.
ante. He commented in.very strong terms on the °endue of
Mr. Glover, who had the. meanness and want of manhood to
wish .to deprive his wifit• of the fruitsef her labour, which
Isere is:tended for the support of herself and her child ren—
towarda which Mr. Glover hail nut contributed one farthing
for years. It was trite, that inaoint of law,heesas justified
in making this demand ; but the Jury, in awar.latne 'their
damages, had the power to decide how much, he was fairly
entitled to.
Mr. linrehell,in aunimierot up the case, observed, that if a.
husband deserted his wile mid children, .and the wife con
trived, by her talent anillmle•try,to support both herself and
her offspring, they were to consider how far the• rights of a
husband enabled him, under such circtinistaocem to ton her
