ROLLS' COURT, DEc. 23.

The unopposed petitions having been disposed of, the
MASTER of the ROLLS heard Mr. Pembertou's reply
in the case of

ATTWOOD V. BANKS,

which came before the Court on Saturday, upon a mo-
tion to restrain the defendants from applying for a fiat
in bankruptcy against the plaintiff, Charles Attwood.
The short facts of the case were these :—ln the
month of April last, the plaintiff, Charles Attwood
carried on the business of a glass-burner, in partnership
with a Mr. Hart, and the business of en alkali and
soap-manufacturer, at Newcastle-on-Tyne, in partner-
ship with Messrs. Tulk and Banks. The partners in
the latter business became indebted to their bankers, Sir
M. White Ridley and Company, in the sum of 33,0001.
The partners slid not agree among themselves, and Tulk
and Banks were desirous of getting rid of Mr. Charles
Attwood. For that purpose they suggested to the
bankers a proceeding by which all the members of the
two firms might be made bankrupts—a process under
the Act for Abolishing Imprisonment for Debt. In
order to effect that object, an affidavit was filed in the
Court of Bankruptcy, and the notice required by the
Act of Parliament was gieen. Mr. Attwood was willing
to retire from the concern, and on the 27th of April an
agreement was entered into, by which it was agreed
that Mr. Attwood should retire altogether—that he
should give up his interest in the joint property for the
other partners, and that these partners should take
on themselves the partnership debts and liabilities.
That was not a sufficient protection to Mr. Attwood,
and therefore application was made to the bankers who
signed a memorandum endorsed on the agreement in
these words—" We accede to and confirm this arrange-
ment so far as we and the district bank are concerned."
Differences, however, arose between the parties, not
only with respect to that which was to be considered
partnership property, to be transferred to the partners
who were to continue the busines, but also with respect
to some of the partnership liabilities. Mr. Attwood,
therefore filed in the month of September, a Bill for
the specific performance of that agreement. While
this suit was pending, and shortly after it was instituted,
Messrs. Ridley thought they might treat Mr. Attwood
as their creditor, just as if they had never agreed to ac-
cept the liability of the other partners, and in Nov.em-
er they commenced proceedings with a view of mai.leg
Mr. Attwood a bankrupt on the footing of the debt
comprised in the agreement which they had confirmed ;
the present motion was to stop those proceedings.
His Letelship the MASTER of the ROLLS, on the con-
clus;on of Mr. Pemberton's reply, gave judgment, ob-
serving that this application was cue of the " first im-
pression," as it arose from the mode of proceeding under
the recent Act of Victoria, for abolishing imprisonment
for debt. There certainly was no instance of an appli-
cation having been made to a Court of Equity to pre-
vent a party suing out a fiat of bankruptcy, nor did he
(the Master of the Re:l3) think an injunction for that
purpose could be granted. But the only question in this
case was, whether the Court had jurisdiction to say that
the parties, having entered into a particular agrcenialt
with respect to a particular debt, were entitled to make
use of that particular debt for the purpose
of proceeding to take out the fiat. He bad
no doubt whatever that the Court could in-
terfere ; and an injunction must, therefore, issue re-.
strainirg the defendants from adopting or prosecuting
any proceeding whereby, 'or in consequence whereof,
Mr. Attwood might be deemed under the provisions of
the Ant of Victoria to have committed an act of bank-
ruptcy by not giving security for the debt in question.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, DEC. 23.
HARVEY V. NORTON.

This was an an actio❑ to recover payment for goods
sold and delivered.

The AT TORNE I GENERAL said the plaintiff was a
draper and carpet-manufacturer. carrying on business
in the Westminster-road ; the defendant was a gentle-
man of high character and station, one of the Police
Mnistrates of the metropolis. The present action
was brought to recol cr the sum of 491. Its. 21d. for
necessaries supplied to Mrs. Norton, the wife of the
defendant. In 1827 Mr. Norton had married Miss
Sheridan, one of the daughters of Mr. T. Sheridan,
son of the celebrated Mr. Sheridan. They lived toge-
ther very happily for a number of years, but in March,
1836, they separated. At that time Mr. Norton had
certain suspicions with respect to the conduct of his
wife, which he had since acknowledged to be un-
founded. He did not suppose that on this occasion
there would be thrown out the slightest surmise
against the honour of Mrs. Norton. If there should
be, he was in a situation to prove that the defendant had
acquitted her of all imputations. The debt in question
was contracted in January, 1838. The defendant, liv-
ing sera-ate from his wife, was clear;y liable for ne-
cessaries suitable to her station in life, he not imputing
any misconduct to her, and not having settled upon and
paid to her a separate maintenance. In the beginning
of 1838 Mrs. Norton, being separated from her hus-
band, took certain apartments unfurnished, in a house in
Bolton-street, Piccadilly. She came to the plaintiff in
January of that year, and asked to look at some patterns
of carpets and rugs. She selected the plainest and
cheapest. During that and succeeding months goods
were sent to the house in Bolton-street to the amount
of 921. It turned out that part of those goods
had been ordered on behalf .of Mrs. Norton's uncle,
Mr. Sheridan, younger son of R. B. Sheridan, who oc-
cupied apartments in the same house with her. That
portion had been paid, but a balance remained unpaid
of 491. 11a. 21d. It would not be disputed that those
goods bad been ordered, that they had been delivered,
or that they had been used ; the only question then that
he could see remaining for the jury to try was, whether
they were necessaries suitable to a person of Mrs.
Norton's rank in life. It was possible. that Mr. Norton
might contend that those goods were not to be consi-
dered as necessaries, inasmuch as they were furniture
for an unfurnished house. It could never be said that
a wife must of necessity go to a furnished lodging ; on
the contrary, any prudent person at the west end of the
town would take an unfurnished lodging in preference.
It would surely not be contended that such a lodging as
Mrs. Norton had taken was too good for the wife of a
man who was heir to a barony, who was in the receipt
of a very liberal allowance as a police magistrate, and
had recently succeeded to considerable property in
Yorkshire. The Learned Counsel then called
Hugh Wilson, clerk to the plaintiff, who remembered
Mrs. Norton calling at the shop, in the Westminster-
road in January, 1838. She selected several patterns of
carpets and rugs, and ordered them to be sent to
24, Bolton-street. On going there some time after-
wards with the account, Mrs. Norton told him to apply
and was told that

Mrs. Norton. Had lived with Mr. and Mrs. Norton
since their marriage. Could not say she thought that
they had lived in a very stylish manner ; they had four
maid servants and one man servant in Green-street.
They received fashionable people at their house, and
visited fashionable people. A separation took place in
March, 1836. After that she went once to the house

With Mrs. Norton to see her children. Mrs, Norton
remained there long enough to dress the children, and
then took them out to walk. She went again in
August, 1836, with Mrs. Norton, when Mrs. Norton
was refused admittance. The door was kept closed,
the chain being drawn, so that they could not see the
servant. Mr. Sheridan lives with Mrs. Norton at the
house in Bolton-street, and is in the exclusive occupa-
tion of apartments there.

Cross-examined—There are three maid-servants nrid
two men-servants at No. 24, Bolton-street. Mr. She-
ridan lived there with Mrs. Norton till they went to the
Continent in September last. Mr. Sheridan used to sit
sometimes in the drawing-room with Mrs. Norton, but
generally sat in his own study. Will not swear that
Mr. Sheridan did not sit in Mrs. Norton's rooms every
day. They see company together. Remembers the
separation in March, 1836. Remembers Mrs. Norton's
going away early in the morning, about eight o'clock ;
it vas not so early as six o'clock ; it was quite light at
the time. Mr. Norton had three children, all boys.
Will not say that Mr. Sheridan has part of the house in
-Bolton-street to himself ; has seen Mrs. Norton at tea
in Mr. Sheridan's room.

Re-examined—When Mrs. Norton quitted her hus-
band's house in March, 1836, she went to the house of
Lord Seymour, her brother-in-law.
Fredetick Burton called—ls in the service of Mrs.
Norton. Had been hired by Mr. Sheridan, and was
transferred by him in October, 1837, to the service of
Mrs. Norton. His wages were 14/. a year. There
was not so much furniture in the house in Bolton-street
as there should have been in a house of such size.
Never saw anything about Mrs: Norton's establishment
that appeared unnecessary or extravagant for a lady of
her rank. •

Colonel Leicester Stanhope examined—Hai been
long acquainted with Mr. Norton, who lived in the first
circles. Does not consider that Mrs. Norton's resi-
dence in Bolton-street was furnished in a manner more
expensive than was necessary.
Cross-examined—Mr. Norton's house at Storey's-
gatr was small ; not above half the size of the house in
Bolton-street. The situation was more expensive.
Houses in that part of the town are dearer than in
Piccadilly. Believes there was a public-house next door
to the house at Storey's-gate. Believes the expenses of
the house were shared between Mr. Sheridan and Mrs.
Norton. Understood that it was a joint establishment.
Mrs. Sheridan examined—ls the mother of Mrs.
Norton. Mr. and Mrs. Norton were married the 30th
of July, 1827 ; they mixed in the first Circles. Had
visited her daughter at Bolton-street. Thought the
carpets were particularly reasonable.
Sir W. FOLLETT, for the defendant, thought the jury
must have observed that it was not the sum of 49/. I Is.
that was now in question, but that they were now to
decide whether Mr. Norton should be held liable for
the claims of different tradesmen for any expences that
his wife might think proper to incur. They had heard
the answer made by Mr. Norton when this account was
presented to him, " It is quite impossible. for me to pay
it, I have already paid so many other accounts, and 1
cannot settle it ; I must send it to my attorney, and ask
him whether in point of law I am liable or not." It
was upon the advice of counsel that he was not liable to
this demand that Mr. Norton had determined to resist
the present action. A bill had been made out in the
first instance to Mrs. Norton for the whole amount of
921. Afterwards furniture for part of the rooms was
taken out for Mr. Sheridan and paid by him ; the other
half was cut out and debited by Mrs. Norton. Upon
the evidence before them, he had no hesitation in say-
ing that Mr. Sheridan had most distinctly taken the
house, occupied it with Mrs. Norton, and let it furnished.
They were then to determine the very important ques-
tion whether Mr. Norton was liable for debts incurred
in furnishing a house taken, as far as appeared, by Mr.
Sheridan, let by him, and the rent going into his
pocket. He must say that this proceeding bore upon
it-the face of something like connivance between cer=
tain parties, if he might use that term. Had it not
been proved that Mr. Sheridan was in the entire and
complete occupation of the whole house, that Mrs.
;Norton was constantly sitting with him, and that what
was called her exclusive occupation of part of the house
made no difference whatever ? It was not even pre-
tended that any distinct compact as to occupation had.
been made between the parties. That being the case,
he must say that Mr. Sheridan had no right whatever
to seek to live at Mr. Norton's expense, occupying a
house of which the furniture was to be bought with Mr.
Norton's money. Further, he would -contend that no-
thing was more important than to hold the law strict
upon the liability of husbands for goods supplied to their
wives while living apart from each other.
Lord DENMAN said, in this case it was clearly proved
that it was by the wish of the husband that his wife
lived apart from him ; there was no deed of settlement
-shich might supersede the necessity of paying for the
necessaries with which he was bound to supply his
wife. But then came the question, whether the goods
which formed the subject matter of this action could be
regarded as,necessaries. It was submitted that articles
of furniture could not be necessaries, inasmuch as the
separation was merely temporary, and might at any
troineut be terminated. Undoubtedly, separations .ot
this kind must be viewed in that light, but it appeared
to him that under the circumstances of this case, the
defendant having desired his: wife to leave the house,
end refused her admittance when she came back,it would
be unreasonable to suppose that she would be likely to
return to her husband in a very short time, and there
must be a reference to this probability by the Jury
when they determined whether the articles supplied.
in this case were to be looked upon as neces-
saries. A wife must be clothed by her hus-
band as well as fed, and that in a manner aerecable to
their station in life, and there did not seem to be any
'reason why many articles of furniture ought not be sup-
plied by him to her in the same way ; but whether ar-
ticles of rich and splendid furniture, purchased for a
house of such a kind as that of which they had now
heard, could be considered as necessaries, was matter
for the jury to determine. They were left very much
in the dark as to the means which Mr. Norton pos-
sessed of maintaining his wife, and as to what might be
considered a reasonable scale of expenditure under the
circumstances of the parties. This was a matter wholly
for the consideration of the jury. Having excluded his
wife without assigning any reason, Mr. Norton was
prima facie liable, but he was liable only for necessaries
furnished to her bona fide, for the purpose of maintain-
ing her in a reasonable and decent manner, according to
her station in life.

The Jury, without retiring, found a verdict for the
defendant.

ROBBERIES IN A CHURCH.—On Sunday
morning the congregation attending Christchurch, Black-
friars-road, were much surprised on taking their scats on
ascertaining that their Bibles and Prayer-books bad
been stolen from the drawers and boxes in their pews,
where they had been deposited by the owners on the
previous Sunday. The Church was opened three days
last week for the purpose of undergoing a thorough
cleansing previous to Christmas, and it is supposed the
thief or thieves took advantage of the circumstance to
s teal the books. • The drawers and boxes were all
locked, and they must have bean opened by means of
false keys. After the books were abstracted the drawers
and boxes were again locked up, and the most valuable
books only were abstracted. Those which had been
long in use and the covers much worn were not re-
moved ; and the Bibles and Prayer-books of the Church,
wardens, and those in Marshall's trust pew, with the
words" Christchurch, Surrey," inscribed thereon, were
not, removed, although the drawers had been opened.
Some of the boxes contained the Bibles and Prayer-
books of a whole family in elegant bindings. The
Churchwardens (Messrs. Loudan and Ainger) arc de-
termined to institute rigid inquiries into the matter, and
have instructed the police on the subject.
A celebrated Lancashire file-manufacturer is
said to be a creditor of Mr. Cockerill, Belgium, for
about 2,7001. A Sheffield house is also a creditor for
LOU, chiefly for heckles, an article used in preparing
flax for spinning.

TRADE, &C.—Monday last, Mr. Brown, of
Egypt Park, received from Mr. Hastie five pounds as
his subscription to the fund for providing reeds and
mountings for the weavers employed by the manufac-
ing AssociatiOn—a note accompanied it, that more
would be forthcoming, if required. This Association
has given work to 50 hands, and there are other 40 ap-
plications made, to meet which preparations are in a for-
ward state. Though we can say nothing cf bright
prospects, we are happy to say, that they are less
gloomy than they have been for several weeks past. Se.
veral houses have been giving out work during the week,
This work, we believe, is generally of a lower priced
kind than usual, and some weavers, who would have to
change their harnesses, would prefer waiting a little, in
the hope that work suited to their implements, may ere
long be issuing. The same cause prevents a number of
weavers from taking out the plain work of the Manu-
facturing Association. Thursday, we are told, was the
best day in Causeyside for sales that has been felt for
several weeks. On the whole, though we cannot speak
of any very marked improvement, we can speak of
some, and can further say, that a pretty general expec-
tation prevails, that after the new year our prospects
will. be much improved.—Paisley Advertiser.
On Saturday afternoon last, about two o'clock,
as the Countess of Eldon, accompanied by another lady,
was walking from her Ladyship's house to Shirley
Chapel, a distance of about half a mile, they were met
by four men, in the dress of railway labourers, who
stopped them, and laid hold of Lady Eldon by the arm,
using the most disgusting language. An officer, who
was at some distance, saw them, when they instantly ran
away, but were followed and all secured. On Tuesday
they were committed by Joseph Reid, Esq. Her Lady.

FOLICE INTELLIGENCE.

RULES TO BE ,ORSERVED BY

ALL MEMBERS OF ALL CLUBS 11

(From the John Bull.)
1. If you have walked to the club through the mud,
never wipe your shoes or bcots on the mat. Being a
member, the rich carpets are your own, and you have a
right to do what you like with. them.
2. When you go into any room .ia the house, and
another member follows you, always let the door swing
into his face ; if he happen to be a Bishop or a Judge,
so much the better—if it knocks his nose and makes it
bleed, best of all. _ _

3. It anybody is fool enough in a similar case to hold
the door back for you, never take any notice of him.
4. Always in ‘N et weather put your legs up. on the
sofas it will clean your boots, cud the mud wil! brush
off from the velvet when it was dry in the morning.
5. When you go. into the dining-room where fifty or
sixty people of the first rank and talent arc dining, walk
up and down with your hat on, stop to speak to every-
body you know, and be careful to look at what they are
eating—abase it, of course.
6. If you catch some unfortunate man, who, tired
with the fatigues of the bar, the city, the House of
Commons, or anything else, is getting a quiet cutlet by
himself, draw a chair to his table, and either volunteer
to join him, so that your modicum of dinner will come
to table just as his dessert is put down or, baying
dined yourself, order your wine to his table, so that
while 1w is endeavouring to eat, you may sit looking
at him.

.....
7. . Always abuse the Committee when you cannot get
into it yourself ; always find fault with everything, and
make a point of swearing at the waiters, if, baying sixty-
two people to serve between six of them, they do not all
come to you first.

8. If you dine on the joint, hack it about just as you
please ; cut out all the best bits ; if it be venison, leave
no fat for those who are to conic after you. When
you have tea, order one cup, with cream, sugar, and a
muffin ; aad then order some hot water in a jug, and
make it into two ; it will cost no more, and you can
oblige a friend with the second basin. _ _

9. 'Whenever you want to make an extract from a
valuable book, tear the leaf out—it saves trouble ; and
the book is your own, as a member.
10. If you have a cold in your head, or any complaint
which renders an effort to relieve the lungs agreeable or
necessary to yourself; always make it as loudly as pos-
sible. Always stand befere the fire with your back to
it, so as to hinder the members dining in front of it from
seeing it ; and make use of it to your own satisfaction.
11. Always talk politics to a man who never ob-
trudes his politics upon you ; it shows you know him.
12. Always talk loud in the library, especially if
you see many people reading or writing.
13. While you are poring over one newspaper, keep
another under your arm, and sit upon a third ; then you
are provided for.

14. Don't be particular when you arc
going away
whose good umbrella you take in exchange for your own
bad one. If you came in without one, and it sets in
wet, your course is obvious ; ditto as to cloaks.

15. Never pay your subscription till the latest pre-
scribed day. Why should you lose the interest of your
money ?
16. Write all your letters at the club. pens, ink,.
paper, wax, wafers, &c., gratis. If you are an author,
write all your books there. If you are a Corainissioner,
write all your reports there, and charge " stationery" to
the Government.
17. Be careful about • pocketing sealing-wax and
blacklead pencils—they are looked after ; do not pack
up newspapers belonging to the club for your country
cousins, and abstain from the abstraction of whitey-
brown.
These rules might be advantageously
imparted to
the Aspirant, and perhaps will do for the present ; since
a strict adherence to them, and an observance of this
system, will make him as aoTecable a member of a club
as any gentleman need wish to be."
