LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JAN. A.
BOOTH, ESQ., AND ANOTHER, V. ANDERSON.

This was an action by the late Sheriffs of Lon-
don, on a bail bond given by the defendant and a
person of the name of Stephens, for a Mr. Banks,
who had been arrested at the suit of a creditor.—
The name of a Mr. Collier had been originally in-
serted in the bond as one of the bail, but that Halve
was struck out, and Mr. Stephens's substituted;
and the question was whether Stephens's name was
inserted before or after the bond had been executed
by the defendant. The execution by Banks and
Stephens was attested by Mr. Fawcett, a clerk in
the Secondaries' office, and the execution by the
defendant was attested by the Sheriff's officer, who
stated that the bond was delivered to him by Mr.
Fawcett, after it had, as he believed, been executed
by Banks and Stephens. The officer also stated
that he believed it was executed by the defendant
at his (the officer's) own house, and not at the
house of Mr. Banks; and Mr. Fawcett stated that
the execution by Banks anal Stephens did not take
place at Banks'a house.
To contradict this testimony Mr. Banks was call-
ed. He stated that the bond, filled up with the
names of himself, Collier,.: and the. defendant, was
brought to his house by the officer for execution.—
The defendant was present, but Collier not having
come, the defendant, after waiting for him half an
hour, executed the bond, on the assurance that Col-
lier's signature would be afterwards obtained. The
officer then took away the bond executed by the
defendant, and in the course of an hour it was
brought hack by Mr. Fawcett. Collier not having
arrived, Banks sent a note to him by Stephens, who
had called while Mr. Fawcett was there. On Ste-
phens's return, it being ascertained that Collier was
from home, Banks proposed that Stephens's name
should be substituted for that of Collier, and this
being acceded to by Mr. Fawcett, the bond was
executed by Banks and Stephens in his presence,
and he then took it away, Mr. Banks telling him
to get it re-executed by the defendant, in conse-
quence of the substitution of Stephens's name for
that of Collier, after the defendant_ had signed it.;

The above is the substance of Mr. Banks's testi-
mony, the greater part of which was contradicted
by Mr. Fawcett. be Jury, after a little hesitation,
found for the plaintiffs.

HIGH COURT OF DELEGATES, JAN. S.
WYATT V. INGRAM.

This is an appeal from the sentence of the Judge
of the Prerogative Court, which set aside an alleged
will and codic:l of John Clopton, Esq., formerly In-
gram, of ( lopton- Hall, Warwickshire, made in
favour of Mr. Henry Wyatt, SOH of Mr. Richard
Wyatt, the solicitor and confidential agent of the
deceased, to the prejudice of the deceased's sister,
Miss Barbara Ingram. The grounds of opposition
to the will were, that the deceased was of unsound
mind, and that fraud and circumvention had been
used. The property at stake is very considerable.
The counsel for the appellant, who were the
ATTORNEY-GENERAL, Dr. PIIILLIMORE, and Mr.
FoLLETT, concluded their argument to-day. They
contended that the Judge of the Prerogative Court
hgd, in his decision, pushed the principles upon
which he decided to a dangerous length, that he had
thereby laid down new principles, and that he had,
in particular, drawn inferences from suspicions in-
stead of from facts. They dwelt strongly upon the
disgrace which would attach to the respectable par-
ties concerned in the transaction, if the sentence
should be confirmed.

To-morrow the Court will proceed to hear the
respondent's Counsel, who. arc Dr. LUSHINGTON,
Dr. DODSON, and Mr. KNIGHT.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, JAN. 8

John Scoleyfeld, a cloth salesman, late of Walcot-
place, Lambeth, and No. 4, Coleman-street, was
opposed by Mr. WOODROFFE, on behalf of Mr.
John Wilkinson.

Mr. John Wilkinson, clothier, of No. 25, Addle-
street,Wood-st reet, for several years had had dealings
with the insolvent, but on February 16, 1829, they
balanced accounts, when there appeared to be .591.
19s. due from the insolvent, for which he gave his
bill at four months, and which would be due on the
19th of June. On the 10th of June, nine days
before the bill became due, the insolvent applied to
him for two pieces of cloth, saying that he had a
customer for them. Mr. Wilkinson refused to let
him have the cloth, but agreed to send it to the
warehouse of Mr. Butts, a cloth-worker in the neigh-
bout hood, where the insolvent's customer could in-
spect it, and if approved of, the money was im-
mediately to be paid over to Mr. Wilkinson, but if
not approved of, the goods were to be returned.
The following day the insolvent called and said the
cloth would not suit his customer, and requested to
have some more sent. Mr. Wilkinson refused to
send any more, and desired that the two pieces
shotild be immediately returned to him, which he
promised to do, instead of which he took the cloth
away from Mr. Butts's, and never returned it or
paid the money. The hill of .54!. 19s. was dis-
honoured when due; afterwards he gave the witness
a bill for 29/. 10s., in part payment of the dishonoured
bill, accepted by a person named 'lrafford, whom he
stated to be doing well in business, instead of which
the witness had since learned that between the date
of the bill and his taking it, Trafford had been dis-
charged under the Insolvent Debtors' Act. That
bill was dishonoured, and then the insolvent pre-
vailed on him to take another bill for the same
amount, accepted by a person named Jonas Paul, to
whom he said he had sold goods to that amount.
Witness had since examined the insolvent's books,
and found an entry on the day that the bill bore
date, of the insolvent's having given 10s. as a con-
sideration for Paul's having put his name to it, and
that it was an accommodation bill. That was also
dishonoured when it became due.

Mr. Commissioner HARats said, the judgment of
the Court was, that the insclvent be remanded at
the suit of Mr. Wilkinson for a period of eight ca-
lendar months from the date of filing his petition,
for fraudulently contracting. a debt.

ADDRESS TO THE GOVERNNTENTS 01
EUROPE AND AMERICA.

In September, 1818, 1 presented to you a nie
morial; and in October of the same year, I pre
sewed another, through the late Lord Castlereagh
to the Allied Powers, assembled in Congress at Ate
These memorials related to the general state e
the civilized world, as it existed at that period; 0c
- to these I beg to refer you for an explanation of the
causes that have created the general changes arh:c;
have occurred in Europe and America from 07:
time up to the present period.
Upon perusing these memorials you will perceil
that, without the alteration of a single word, theP
pescribe the exact condition of the leading :Pow
and their respective populations, in Europe v
America, as they exist at this moment.
In the first of these memorials it is stated tb!l
" A period has arrived in which a greater change°
human affairs will be forced on the world than 1111
world has ever witnesed; but, in all its extent,
change will be highly beneficial to every indiyidal
and to all States. It is a period when time sac°,
which have hitherto perplexed mankind are about''
be unravelled ; and, in consequence, the obstacle;
which stoodin the way of human improvement
enjoyment will be removed.
The immediate causes which make thicchad
certain and necessary are, the overwhelming elle°
of new scientific power, and the rapidly increao
knowledge of all classes of men.
" The former will soon render human labour •
little avail in the creation of wealth, while the IS
will make evident to the people the absolute nee;
sty which has thus arisen for them to give .a
ferent direction to their powers, and will infofe
them, also, how the change is to be effected.
" To this day the means of consumption, ore
o!•itaining the necessaries of life, by the work"
classes, have been acquired solely through the fee
dints of their labour, the value of which the 10
power has already much diminished. And the re!
tain consequences of the undirected progress of tle
power will be to reduce the exchangeable value
manual labour until it falls below the means of pt°
curing a wretched subsistence for any large propoe
tion of the working classes, while the remainder ,
them must be starved out of existence.
" Such is the nature of the contest, which V•
already continued for some time, and which oe°
exists, in full activity, between scientific power alit
manual labour—between knowledge and ignorance
but no one, who comprehends anything of the 30
jcct, can for one moment doubt the result," _
. .

The period has arrived when this change•has
come inevitable throughout the British dominions
and the causes which have produced the neces4to
for it in these countries are in active progress in ti°
United States, in France, over Europe genet-sill'
and in many parts of Asia.
The new scientific powers of production, which
during the late revolutionary war of France, mit!
such a progress in Great Britain, as by their effl
to astonish her allies, her enemies, and the wail
have now taken deep root in the United States, $l,
in many of the nation% of Europe ; and this ne
power,
which no human efforts can non arre,,t,i°
its continually increasing progress, is already :tillr
cient, or may be made superabundantly, to suPPII
the physical wants of the human race, however rs'
pidly the population of the world may increase.
Such is already the dominion which science 11°.
acquired over the productions by which the physics
wants of mankind are supplied..
It is unnecessary, therefore, that poverty, or Oil
fear of it, should be longer numbered among the
evils to which humanity is liable, except through twww,
want of knowledge and 'consequent misrule of thor,
who govern.
The most ample means to secure perminel
abundance for the population whom you gavel'
and whose happiness or misery depends
.upon
knowledge or ignorance, are now at your dispor
and wait only for you to gire them a right direct'!
In the words, then, of the second mentorial,!,
which I have already referred, it is strictly true tl
The period has arrived when the means te,.if
come obvious, by which, without violence, fritudt,l
disorder of any kind, riches may be created in nitZ;
abundance, and advautageous;y for all, that '0;
wants and wishes of every human being, relative I.
real wealth, may be more than satisfied."
But the still more important knowledge has best
acquired, and is now offered for your consideratid
by means of which you would be ettabled'io raid
from among the people over whom you rule,
from their descendants to the latest posteriq
the cause of all intellectual and moral evil ever of
perienced in human society.
The inhabitants of the world have heretoOlj
lived under the impression that the thoughts sr
the convictions of each individual were of his oil
formation; and that they depended upon his 04101
which they supposed to be an independent part
his nature. They have, therefore, been angry,.b:
cause of each other's thoughts and convictions; 01
have, consequently, been, without exception, Igo'
rantly cruel and unjust, individually and nationalli'l
The inhabitants of the world have also existed,t
the present time, under the impression that each Or
dividual possessed a power, of his own formatioe
to like or dislike things, and to love or or hate Per
sons at his pleasure.
They have, therefore, been angry with each othei
when they did not or dislike things, and t
love or hate according to the fanciful or arbitrd)
notions of individuals or nations.

Experience has now proved that these are impf_def
sions arising, not from facts, but, from imagiton•
notions opposed to all facts; and that hence all
has proceeded all the intellectual and, moral ef'
or, in other words, all the irrationality which r
world has ever known. •
The cause of all the misery which has existed
I,
thus before you ; and you possess the most anly
power to remove that cause in this generation, with
out injury to yourselves or others.
Will you not, then, remove it, and thereby viri°l,
draw all the evil and misery from among yourself,.
and all those whose well-being and happiness sr
under your guidance and controul ?
Will you not unite among yourselves for Y°l
safety, and odiously deliberate what measures ill.
he the most beneficially adopted under the new 0,1
etimstunces which have arisen, and the knowlea
of which can be no longer withheld from the e
ncral population of the world ?
Can all your present wealth and power proeuri%
higher enjoyment than that of becoming the sett,'
instruments of securing the future happiness of r
human race ?

To accomplish the object of all my exertions it
necessary for me to economise time and moue/
and when the end to be attained is the petmlille,ll
well-being of mankind, ceremonies become lees iv'
portant.
I feel myself, therefore, obliged to make tl3l
communication to each Government through td
medium of the public pre#s; in which form I*
each of you to accept it with the same kind feel#s,
and attention which my former communications
perienced from many of you.
