which they have receded to 95k, and at present may
be quoted 951 buyers.
In the Foreign Market Greek has improved one
per cent.; Spanish Stocks, also, rather better. In
other Foreign Securities little doing, owing to ac-
counts from Rio Janeiro unfavourable to the Impe-

A daring burglary was committed this morn-
ing, at three o'clock, at the residence of J. B. CLIFTON,
Esq., at Putney. The villains entered the house by
making a hole in the back door, by means of a centre-bit,
and were proceeding to ransack the lower part of the
house, when Mr. CLIFTON, being woke by the barking of
one of his dogs, went down stairs with a brace of pistols
in his hands, and, on his opening the passage-door, ths
robbers, hearing his steps, made their escape. Mr.
CLIFTON pursued them, and came nearly up with two
men at the entrance of the town of Putney, who started
off again the moment they saw they were pursued, and
ultimately escaped by jumping o►er into the yard of the
workhouse. Mr. CLIFTON was near enough to them to
have shot them, but forbore firing, as he could not be sure
of their identity, which, however, was subsequently esta-
blished by their dropping in the pursuit a pair of boots,
which they had stolen in his house. Active search will
be made by an officer from Marlborough-street.
A GANG OF MONSTERS.—Between nine
and ten o'clock last night, as Mrs. FREEMAN, an indus-
trious widow, about forty years of age, residing at the
bottom of Drury-lane, near Wych-street, was passing to-
wards her abode, she was attacked at the end of Black•-
moor-street by four ferocious monsters in the shape of
men, wrapped up in fashionable cloaks, by stabbing her in
the side with a small sword, such as is worn occasionally
in light walking-sticks. The villains broke the sword,
leaving about six inches thereof sticking in Mrs. FREE-
MAN'S side, who instantly fell upon receiving the wound.
Police-constable, F. 122, who came up is a minute there-
after, lifted Mrs. FREEMAN from the pavement, and pulled
the deadly weapon from her side. He then followed the
ruffians through Clare-court, and other alleys in the vici-
nity, but we are sorry to say, that for the present they
have elude(' his pursuit. The monsters, are however, well
known, and it is to he hoped they will not long escape
justice. We are glad to state, that from the thick gar-
ments and stays worn by Mrs. FREEMAN, the sword did
not penetrate sufficiently deep to endanger any vital part.
DISTINCTION BETWEEN SKINNING AND
SHAVING.—A Scotch labourer shaving his neighbour on a
Saturday night, observed that he was making very wry
faces, and asked him the cause, when he received this ap-
posite answer :—" If you are skinning me, it's no that
sair t but if you are only shaving, oh, it's desperate."

LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.)

VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT.

LI HARWOOD, IN THE MATTER OF TERRY, nissmaurrs.
Mr. ROSE stated that this was a petition, praying the
smersedeas of the commission, on the ground of its being
concerted, and taken out with the intention of driving the
creditors into an arrangement. It appeared from the
statements of the Learned Counsel that a commission of
Lankrupt issued in September last against the Terry's, on the
petition of a gentleman, named Eller, residing at Walcot,
Somersetshire ; that Mr. Eller became the petitioning cre-
ditor at the request of the bankrupts, and with know-
ledge of Mr. Richard Else, of Bath, who was employed
to strike the docket, and who had been for several years
preceding, the confidential solicitor of the bankrupts. On
Messrs. Terrys being declared bankrupts, one of their
shopmen was appointed provisional assignee, and cne of
the bankrupts had been heard to declare, that the commis-
sion was a friend'y one, that Mr. Else was a friend of the
bankrupts, who would be very kind to them, and if they
could not get their books made up in 29 days, another
docket would be struck, for the purpose of giving more
time. Shortly after the issuing of the commission, Mr.
Els, the solicitor, wrote a letter to several of the cred:t rs,
accompanied with a statement of the concerns of the bank-
rupts, and stating that if the bankrupts were allowed to go
on, Bs. in the pound might be secured to all the creditors,
to be paid by instalments, at six, 12, and 18 months.
Before the issuing the commission the petitioning
creditors in consequence of a letter received from Mr. Else,
called upon him, when Mr. Else informed him of the affairs
of the bankrupts, anti persuaded him to strike a docket
agains them. Upon this Mr. Els observed he should wish
to consult a friend before he did any thing; when Mr.
Else said it was necessary a docket should be struck, there
was no time to lose, and if it was not done then
the business would get into other hands, and it would
not be so well for the parties. After striking the
docket, the petitioning creditor consulted with his own
solicitor, who informed him he had acted exceedingly
wrong. and that such a commission would be superseded.
Upon this Eller expressed a wish not to open the com-
mission, and stated his fears to Else of being put to ex-
pense. Upon which Else told hint he need not be under
any apprehension on that head, as he would indemnify him.
Upon Mr. Eihr attending before the Commissioners, he
hesitated to open the commission, observing that he un-
derstood it would be superseded. Mr. Rose went through
a great many affidavits, in order to support the petitit
and to shew the concert existing between the parties.
The VICE-CHANCELLOR observed, that he did not
know what he could do without the intervention of a Jury.
The case was certainly a suspicious one, but the Court
could not act on suspicion.

Mr. KNIGIIT observed, that every statement in the peti-
tion was most positively contradicted over and over again
by the most respectable and undoubted authority. The
petitioner, a❑ old woman, who could not even write her
name, and had been formerly a servant of the bankrupts,
was a markswoman in the hands of these parties, and to-
tally ignorant of the effects of the action. She had placed
her earnings with the Terrys, and had, by so doing, lost
her all. His clients were perfectly ready to comply with
the intimation of the Court.

The VICE-CHANCELLOR thought such a course was the
only one he could adopt. His Honour, therefore, directed
the question to be tried at the next Assizes for the county
of Somerset, the petitioner to be the plaintiff, and the as-
signees the defendants. and all parties to be examined.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH.
Dossmq V. HEBELER. AND OTHERS.

This was an action to recover damages for demurrage,
and the trial seemed, from the unusual attendance of mer-
chants and shipowners, to have excited some interest in the
mercantile world. The trial arose from nearly the same
transaction as a case which was tried last night by the
same shipowners (of the Illanturer) against another mer-
chant, named Drop. It appeared that the vessel arrived
in port on the 6th of January, 18'29, and was reported Is
ready for discharge. The defendants, however, did not
clear any part of their consignment of the cargo (wheat
from Bremen) until the 22d instant, which was two days
after the fourteen days, in which they (the defendants)
had stipulated, by the bill of lading, to clear it.
or to pay demurrage (four guineas per day). The whole
of it was not claimed before the 30th, and the plaintiff
called the master of the vessel to prove that the defendants
might have cleared it within the fourteen days, if they had
not neglected to do so.
Mr. POLLOCK, (with whom was Mr. ALDERSON ), for
the defence, Contendel that the neglect arose on the part
of the plaintiff ; that the defendants had twice sent for
their part of the cargo before the expiration of the fc:a•-•
teen days; and that the captain had kph. the man whom
they had sent that their wheat could, not then be got at,
and that they must wait till their turn came.
The Jury found for the plaintiff—Damages 421.
