ROY MARRIAGES.

Mr. Al.lermen Denote rose to move an address to the
Prince Regent on the merria4es of their Royal Highnesses
the Mikes of Clarence and Kent. De confessed that, when
the performance of this duty was first suggested to him, he
felt some lit-itatien in agreeing to undertake it, not certainly
from want of respect to the illuistrions personages who were
the objects of the motion he should have the homier to make;
not because the originating such a motion appeared to him
to hear any doing of that time-serving character which lie
disapproved of, but because he had not been in the habit of
coating forward en similar occasions. When he considered
that it had been the Invariable practice of that Court for more
than 100 years to address the throne on the marriage of mem-
bers of the Royal Family, he was sensible that as little time
as possible ought to be lost by the COIIII/1011 Council 111 taking
not opportunity of expressing their congratulations on the
recent Royal nuptials,and lie had therefore agreed to the sug-
gestions of those who wished hint to make this motion. Such
an expression of loyalty was due to the Royal Family, and
to this priuciples of civil and religious liberty which placed
them on the throne, and which they bad never ceased to ac-
knowledge. As, on the one hand, the maintain:once of these
principles on the part of the throne was the serest way to
promote the interest rind secure the happiness of the country,
44 on the other hood the people ought to omit no proper op-
portunity for testifying their loyalty end attachment to the
!Royal Family. The melancholy and unfortunate death of the
Princess Charlotte had left the succession to the throue in a
doubtful and uncertain state, nod measures had very wisely
been taken to guard against the possibility of the Cr. wn de-
parting from the present Royal Family; for nothing could
he wore regretted than that the British crown should descend
to any foreign Prince unacquainted with the laiogorige and
the customs of the country. On these grounds he was con-
h lout (,;oiirt woald be happy to seize the opportunity of
testifying their boy alty, asid expressing their emigre I ailati ons on
the unions which had taken place. The Po ince% of the
Royal Family had never kept themselves aloof front the

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF CI lANCERY, TUESDA Y, JULY 21.
CASE OF THE BANKRUPT, CRAVILEE.
Mr. Rose this day appeared •in the part of the Commission-
ers of Bankr tipiry , iu support of the wat rant of comuntment.
He had no onset valion to make upon the ease itself, but he
wished to draw the attention of the Court to the question
of the validity and sufficiency of the warrant of the COMilEs-
sioners.

The Lord Chancellor observed, that if the warrant of cont-
tintment was only insinfietent in point of form, the Court was
not only authorised but required by the statute to amend it.
'llse doubt, however, in his owe mind was, whether the
warrant was nut insufficient in susbtance.
Mr. no ,e represented,that the commission issued on the 7th
of Match, 1813, but up to the prevent time no account hail
teen obtained from the bankrupt. An examination was
taken upun the case of the bank' opt upon the 4th of June
last, and Mr. Crawley then declared that to the kith of that
moan' he would prodece his sccounti. On the 14th a meet-
iiig took place, out no accounts were produced ; and the wily
reason ussigneit by the bankrupt for their nun production via...
that they were now at the house of \l,. lialuilton, a li lend
of his ; that he had two petitions before the Lord-Chancellor,
and that he doubted the validity of the commission. The
question was,whether this was suchen answer as the commis.
stoners ought to have been satisfied with. He humbly COW
ceiveil that it was not, snit that the commissiouers acre quite
authorized in the step they had takcii.
The Lord Chancellor observed, teat the question wee, whe-
ther. if to make a new warrant a good warrant, fresh state-
ments were necessary, the wattaut was not insufficient iu
point of substance.
Sir S. Hominy, on the part of the bankrupt, knew of nu in-
stance of a commitment upon ally thing out of the examina-
tion of the bankrupt himself. The Commissieneis could only
proceed upon the exammation of the bankrupt himself, anti
this examination should appear upon the warrant. H iii, ill
this case, it had been omitted, aiel it was finite impossible to
say that this WAS a menet of turns winch ought to rte supplied
by tlie Court.
The Lord Chancellor said, that as to what taigllt have been
the conduct of the bankrupt, or vi hat effect that conduct
might have produced open the eredituis, he should not con-
sider. The duty he had to discharge was, tit, to determine
whether the warrant was a sufficient warrant of cuimuitmen. ;
2111:), whether it was insufficient in substance 0. form ; and
3dly, if it were only insufficient either in matter or form, hew
it should be rectified. The opinion lie had formed was,
that the warrant was W 51111161111 tu matter of substance,
and not of form. He took itto be a clear principle, that in such
a case as the present it was impossible to travel out of the
warrant of connuinneut ; and he took It as a fact completely
ascertained, that there had been much examination protons
to that examination, a hen the answer was given which was
cousidered to be so utisatisfactory, and id Willett the conse-
quence was the commilment. lie rrgrett. il much that sucii a

with the cunstitutiou of the human mind, that the mere cir

and nut merely by that which had been stated in the warrant.
