We have much pleasure in noticing that another,
and we trust a successful, attempt is to be made to connect
Montrose with the railways now in the course of formation in
the other parts of the county. A public meeting, to consider
the subject, is to take place here on Monday first; and from
the interest felt in the undertaking by Lord Panmure, Mr.
Chalmers of Auldbar, Mr. Ross of Rossic, Mr. Carnegy of
Craigie, and we believe Sir James Carnegie also, there is gcod
reason to hope that the issue will justify the expectations or
the public.—Montrose Review:
Since our last the weather has been exceedingly
changeable, alternate days and nights of keen frost and satu-
rating rains, accompanied on the morning of Wednesday with
a very heavy gal^ of wind, which lasted for couple of hours.
The Tweed and its tributary streams have been, in conse-
quence much flooded. The hills and upland parts of the coun.
try present, in consequence, a more dreary aspect.—Kek•

SHERIFF'S COURT, RED LION-
SQUARE.-(THIS DAY.)

THE EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY.

This morning, at ten o'clock, a Special Jury assembled at
the Sheriff's Court, Red Lion-square, to assess the value to
be given by the Eastern Counties Railroad Company, to the
trustees and others under the wills of Andrew and John Nash,
Esqs., for certain property situate at Enfield and Edmonton,
required by the Company.
Mr. Sergeant 'WILDE and another Learned Gentleman ap-
peared for the Company ; Sir W. FOLLETT was retained for
the parties interested on the other side.
After the Jury were sworn, a consultation took place be-
tween the parties, Mr. Sergeant Wilde informing them that
he hoped an arrangement would be effected, and a great deal
of labour prevented. The consultation lasted upwards of an
hour.

The Learned SERGEANT, at the conclusion, said he was
happy to say the matter had been settled. It had been ar-
ranged that the sum of 3,1501. should be awarded by the Jury
for the value of the land, and the damage that would take
place. The damage was estimated at 2,0001. 4s. The re-
mainder for the land required.
The Jury assessed the compensation at the sum proposed,
and were discharged.
The cause appeared to excite much interest.

SUSSEX, WITH FULLER, PILCII, V. ALL ENGLLND.—After
the account of this match was despatched yesterday, there
were three wickets to go down on the side of All England, and
it is worthy of remark that not a single run was scored after-
wards. This match, by which so much interest was excited,
having been gained by the Sussex men, with no more than or-
dinary play on the part of the given man, Pilch, will go far to
revive the faded laurels of the county, and re-establish its fame
in the cricketing world. We subjoin the result.

THE LATE LORD COLLINGWOOD.-The call
which we have repeatedly made upon the inhabitants of this
district to come forward and erect some lasting memorial in
his native place of the distinguished public services of the late
Cuthbert, Lord Collingwood, is at length in a fair way to be
obeyed ; and, it may be observed, in a manner and under
auspices befitting the high and interesting occasion. Oti co-
lumns are graced with a requisition—a requisition embodying
much of the greatest blood of the north—calling upon the
Nobility, Gentry, Clergy, and residents of the counties of
Northumberland, Durham, and Newcastle-upon-Tyne, to meet
on Monday next at the Assembly Rooms, in this town, for the
purpose of doing justice to the memory of that eminently great
and immortal person, of whom it may be truly said that whe-
ther regarded as a private citizen, the head of a family, a sa-
gacious statesman, an indomitable warrior, or a British seaman,
he shines forth as one of the most brilliant and exemplary cha-
racters that ever figured in the annals of his country. Let this
great and good man, then, have his due. Let us hope that the
meeting which has been convened to do honour to his memory
will be large, and of a popular character. The inhabitants of
Newcastle and Northumberland may well be proud of their
hero, and although they have been slow to do their duty to-
wards him, we have every confidence, now that the matter has
here t ken up in a prcper spirit, and br those to whom it bc-
i
ongs to lead in such undertakings, that toe result of their de-
liberations on Monday will be to erect a work of art that shall
at once be worthy of the undying fame of Collingwood, and
worthy of the age in which we live..—Newcasile Journal.

QUEEN-SQUARE.

Mary Ann Young was yesterday placed at the bar, charged
on suspicion of stealing three diamond rings, the property of
some person unknown.
It appeared that the prisoner went into the shop of a pawn.
broker in York-street, Westminster, and offered two of the
rings in pledge for 6s. 'William Alpin, the assistant in the
firm, interrogated her, and was informed that prisoner did not
know they were diamonds, and that she had them given her a
few days ago by a sailor, who has since gone to sea. He was
not satisfied with this account, and gave her into custody, when
a third ring set with diamonds and turquoise was found on her
finger.
The prisoner when before the Magistrate persisted in her
original story.
Mr. BURRELL expressed himself far from being satisfied with
the account, and remanded the prisoner until Monday.
The rings, which are very handsome, are left at this office
to be owned.

MIDDLESEX MAGISTRATES.

Yesterday being County Day, the usual Meeting of the
Middlesex Magistrates was held at the Sessions House, Clerk-
ea well ; Mr. Sergeant ADAMS in the Chair.
The Minutes of the last Meeting were read and confirmed.
The Report of the Committee of Accounts was read. It
stated the various sums expended since the last Court, among
which was 6501. for Coroner's fees, from January to June last.
A sum of 1981. was voted to defray the expenses of certain
alterations intended to be made in the Sessions House.
The Report of the Visiting Justices of the House of Cor-
rection was next read. It stated that the number of prisoners
at present confined there was 1,025, viz., 741 males, 284 fe-
males, and 11 children.—The Report was received.
A Special Report of the Visiting Justices of the House of
Correction on the subject of Prison Discipline was then read.
After a long discussion, the Report was received, and ordered
to be printed.
The Report of the Visiting Justices as to the state of the
New Prison, Clerkenwell, was next read. It stated that ther
were at present 234 persons confined there, who were gene-
e
rally in good health.
After disposing of some other routine business, the Court
adjourned.

was applied to an outrage growing out of the tithe law, and
therefore, it is to be concluded that it would be better to 'e
no law at all, than a law which is so unjust that it,r.nust be
continually violated and trampled on. All laws which are
unjust will, and must be, bad. The next conclusion is, that it
would be better to have no laws at all than unjust laws. Think
of that Devils-law making landlords.

BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.)

An old Irishwoman named Bridget Ronan was charged with
stealing a frock-coat, a pair of trousers, a waistcoat, a pair of
shoes, and a cloak, the property of John Stevenson, a blind
man, resident at 9, Nottingham-court, Long-acre.
It appeared that on Monday last the prisoner, who was
known to the complainant about seven years, came to his
room and requested to be allowed to remain with him while she
got herself in a proper condition to meet a friend who pro.
mised to render her some service. Everything was done to
accommodate his guest, and on taking her departure she got
his blessing, in the hope that her prospects would be crowned
with success ; but upon the next visitor coming to gossip
with him, km was informed for the first time that he had
been robbed of the articles produced, which were subse-
quently found at a pawnbroker's, where they had been pledged
by the prisoner for 3s. 6d.
Sir F. ROE inquired if the complainant could be certain, as
be was totally blind, that the articles were his property ?
The complainant said he was in darkness for the last twenty-
five years, and after running his fingers over the articles, and
describing them minutely, declared them to be his property,
which had been safe in his room before the prisoner took her
leave and his blessing.
Sir F. ROE asked the prisoner how she could bring herself
to act so scandalous and ungrateful a part towards a poor man
who had given her shelter, and who was labouring under such
an awful affliction ?
The prisoner pleaded drunkenness as the cause of her base
conduct, and she was ordered to pay a tine of forty shillings,
with the amount of the pledge, and in default be committed
to hard labour for three months.
Jane Green, a well-known old " sneak," was last night de-
tected at the Swiss Chapel, Moor-street, Soho, during the
hours of divine service, by Mrs. Elizabeth Goerben, the pew-
opener, crawling away with two brass candlesticks and a pair
of snuffers, produced, and upon being given into the custody
of Glascock, a constable, they dropped from under her shawl.
The prisoner, after declaring that she did not know it was
a house of worship, and that she was in great distress, was
sent to hard labour for fourteen days.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SlR—The question proposed by your Correspondent S. L.,
respecting the bishopric of Manchester, admits of a very easy
solution. The Act to which he refers did not (as many per-
sons I find erroneously imagine) create two additional sees,
but it enacted that upon the occurrence of a vacancy in the
secs of Gloucester, Bristol, St. Asaph, or Bangor, two sees
should be erected, one at Ripon and the other at Manchester.
Soon after the passing of the Act, Dr. Gray, Bishop of Bris-
tol, died, whereupon the see of Bristol became annexed to
that of Gloucester, and the see of Ripon was then constituted
(Dr. Monk is now Bishop of Gloucester and Bristol), and
whenever a vacancy shall occur in St. Asaph or Bangor, these
two sees
will also be united. The surviving Bishop will take
„ A h and Binffor or Bangor or ot. ..sap , and St. Asaph
the title
av be, and a Bishop of Manchester will be a -
as the case in,
pointed. This, lhaomugyho:itilf.L7ill, I trust, prove a satisfactory,r
explanation.

WYNNIATT V. 'ANDO.

The arguments in this part.heprd case were resumed
to-clky. The case came before the Court upon appeal
from the judgment of the Master of the Rolls pronounced
so long ago as 1831. The bill was filed by Mr. \Vynniatt
to compel the defendant specifically to perform a con-
tract to purchase from the plaintiff an estate, called
Gorkham, in Gloucestershire, tithe free, for the sum of
150000/. The defendant objected to the completion of the
purchase, en the ground that the plaintiff had not proved that
the land was tithC. free. On the case coming on before Sir
John Leach, he declared that the plaintiff had made out that
the land was tithe free, and decreed accordingly ; from that
Judgment, the present appeal was brought.
The arguments were proceeding when our reporter left, and
appeared likely to occupy the whole day.

at 2,9001., which, with a deduction of h per cent„ would
make 2,8121. The houses which ran parallel to the theatre
were measured, and the result was, that if similar houses were
erected on the ground which the theatre now occupied, they
would produce a ;:eater amount of rates than the theatre now
yielded.
The witness, on being cross-examined by Captain Forbes,
admitted that there had been some difference in the Committee
with regard to the assessment of the theatre, but he denied
that any resolution had ever been passed to reduce the rates,
there being only two hands held up for it.
Captain Forbes replied, and said that es to the effect which
a reduction of the rates would make, it had nothing whatever
to do with the question. The Bench was now in possession
of the facts of the case,'and he was quite sure the Magistrates
would see the justice 'and necessity of affording that relief
which the proprietors of the theatre sought.
The CHAIRMAN then summed up the evidence, observing
that this was a very novel description of appeal, because it re-
ferred to the rating of a theatre, and he was not aware that
any case was to be found of a similar description. The ques-
tion was not whether the prop?rty should or should not be
rated. The only point which the Magistrates were called
upon to decide was whether the rate ought to be allowed or
reduced. It was contended on the part of the appellants
that there were certain expenses which were necessary to
keep up the theatre, and that those expenses were such as
the Act had contemplated. On the other side the respon-
dents urged that there ought to be no other reduc-
tions than the 791/. for taxes, 701. for watch and firemen,
and 250/., being the charge for collecting the receipts
for the theatre. Mr. Robins had certainly shown that thea-
trical property had suffered a vreat diminution, and the
question was—how could the proprietors secure the advantages
of the theatre, without incurring necessary expenses? He
considered that it would be very difficult to ascertain what
might be the value of the property, if other buildings were
erected on the ground which the theatre now occupied, and
he must say thus publicly, in his opinion, it would be a very
hard case if the proprietors of this theatre were compelled to
close their establishment, " thus eclipsing," as Dr. Johnson
observed to Garrick, " the harmless gaiety of nations." In
his opinion, no sort of property could be less burdensome to a
parish than a theatre ; and certainly this theatre was harmless,
as compared. with many of the houses in its immediate
neighbourhood. In addition to which, if the proprietors
were compelled to close it, upwards of 300 persons would be
thrown out of employment, and become chargeable to the
Strand Union.
The room was then ordered to be cleared, and, after a lapse
of three quarters of an hour,
The CHAIRMAN stated that the Board, having taken the
subject into consideration, were of opinion that the assessment
of the theatre ought to be reduced to the sum of 1,2021. per
annum, being a reduction of 1,6101. in the rate.

THE RICHMOND.

This is a suit for subtraction of wages promoted by a ma-
riner, John Henning, against the owners of the Richmond.
The seaman was hired in July, 1837, as steward of the ves-
sel at the rate of 31. 15s. per month, for a voyage to Cal-
cutta and back. The mariner's contract was signed on the
Ist of August, and the vessel sailed on the sth. On be-
half of the mariner it bad been pleaded that he was hired
on the 10th of July ; that he performed all the duties of
steward in an efficient manner until the 10th of September,
when he received an injury on his right shoulder, which
rendered him inefficient, but that he exerted himself to the
uttermost ; that lie returned with the vessel, and was dis-
charged on the 19th of June. A responsive allegation was
this day offered on behalf of the owners, which sets up that
the mariner was not hired until the 20th of July, 1837—that
he did not adequately perform the functions of stewardship,
that immediately after the sailing of the vessel, before she
had reached Margate, much of the property under his care
was broken, much lost—that the master of the vessel there
endeavoured to obtain an efficient person to supply his place,
but was unable ; that the same inattention and indolence
which had been exhibited at the commencement was displayed
throughout the whole voyage, and that he was unfit for the
duties which he had undertaken. The Learned Judge having
heard Dr. Phillimore in support of the allegation, and Dr.
Addams contra, directed the allegation to be resumed.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Nor. 12.

IN RE THOMAS FORD.

In this case an important application was made under the
compulsory clause of the new Act, which the Court decided.
The prisoner had been some years in Whitecross-street
Prison, and Mr. Charles 'Wright, a solicitor, residing in Ely-
place, Holborn, had obtained a vesting order under the com-
pulsory clause ; he afterwards applied for the assigneeship,
and in his affidavit he detailed at some length the circum-
stances of the case. He set forth that he had had the prisoner
up under the Lord's Act, and he had refused to make an as-
signment ; he could have indicted him, but had not presented
a bill, and had availed himself of the new Bill. He stated
that he believed the prisoner had freehold property and money
in his possession; he therefore wished to be named assignee,
to order to recover property to pay his debt. The appoint-
ment was made, and Mr. Wright now made an application to
search the prisoner's room. It appeared Irons his affidavit

that he had applied to the Deputy Governor of the prison to
search the room, but had been refused, and he now came to
the Court for assistance.
Mr. Commissioner Bow EN could grant an authority on the
keeper of the prison to permit the search for property. The
Court issued a mandate instanter.

BOOTH U. LEICESTER-JUDGMENT.

The LORD CIIANCELLOR gave judgment to-day in this case,
which came before the Court upon appeal from the decision
of the Master of the Rolls, referring it to the Master to take
an account of what was done in respect of the annuities in the
cause without interest, and also granting an injunction re-
straining some of the parties from proceeding to enforce the
judgment they had obtained in the courts in -Ireland for the
payment of these annuities. Certain large annuities had been
charged by Sir John Roger Palmer upon his estates in Ireland,
and also upon the estates of Lady Palmer in this country. Sir
John Roger Palmer dying without paying the annuities,the bill
was filed by the assigneeA of the annuitants for the purpose
of obtaining payment with interest. Upon the case coming on
before the present Master of the Rolls, his Lordship declared
that the English estates of Lady Palmer were to be consi-
dered assets of Sir John Palmer, and therefore liable to the
payment of the annuities, and referred it to the Master to take
an account of what was due in respect of the annuities, with-
out interest. From this decision the present appeal was
brought. His Lordship, after going at some length into the
facts of the case, and the authorities on the subject, stated his
opinion to be, that the judgment of the Master of the Rolls
avas perfectly correct, and ordered the appeal to be dismissed,
with costs.

FINE ARTS

We were favoured on Sal urday with a private view 01
painting executed by Davis, and representing the Quee?
the
riding out with the members of her household among.
picturesque glades of Windsor Forest. Ilcr Majesty Is, ?
course, at the head of the gay troop of "equestrians, and Is
drawn in a truly graceful attitude. She is accompanied b, YS
the King and Queen of the Belgian., Miss Cavendish, MIS
Quentin, Lord Torrington, Sir G. Quentin, Lord Belfast,
Lord Alfred Paget, and some few other visitors at the
Castle. All these are portraits, and such, too, as may readilyf
he recognised. The likeness, in particular, of the King ?
Belgium, is one of the most striking we have yet seen of 11.15
Majesty. The horses are also, we are informed, portraits
of some of the handsomest saddle-horses in the stables
.at
Windsor Castle. The painting is carefully finished in all e
Its
parts, and as the subject is a peculiarly interesting one,
have little doubt that it will become, when engraved,-hi ill
popular.

KIDDERMINSTER.

The first of November passed off very quietly, as the To-
ries did not seem inclined to offer any resistance. Thus fivo
Liberals were re-elected, and the sixth (also a Liberal), in

the place of a moderate Tory.
On the 9th rather more excitement was felt, and a large
number assembled to witness the election of the new Mayor.
Although here no opposition was expected, yet as the Town
Clerk (who is a Tory), had expressed his opinion that t)-
retiring Mayor could no longer fill his situation as councitior
for the third year, many burgesses were collected. The late
Mayor was chosen in 1836—Councillors of course for three
years ; and the Town Clerk contended that a new election
should have taken place to fill his situation, when chosen
Mayor. This opinion was not generally received, and the
opinion of counsel was also against it ; and had not the Mayor
have been elected Alderman, he had taken his seat as Coun-
cillor. 4

Mr. Charles Talbot (a Dissenter) was then unanimously
chosen Mayor; and, after some few suitable remarks, the
Council proceeded to their choice of Aldermen. In this there
was no difference of opinion, and Mr. W. H. Werth was re-
elected—George Talbot, jun., late Mayor; Henry Brunton,
Borough Magistrate.
The two latter in place of Mr. T. Lukes and Mr. H. Cooke.
Thus our eighteen Councillors and six Aldermen are all
Reformers 1
Now our Town Clerk contends there should be, by the Mu-
nicipal Act-1 Mayor, 18 Councillors, and 6 Aldermen.
This is not agreeable to schedule A.

• STOCKHOLM, OCT. 30.—1 t is said that the King's
departure for Norway is again put off till the sth of November ;
perhaps it will not take place at all. It is probable the Queen
will not accompany his Majesty. Sir Thomas Cartwright, the
new English Ambassador, delivered his credentialsto the King
on the 20th of October. He was afterwards presented to the
Queen, to whom he also presented credentials, and then to
the Crown Prince and Princess. On the following day Sir
Thomas and his Lady ( Countess Semtezell) dined with their
Majesties. Mr. Blomfield, late Charge d'Affaires, will shortly
leave Stockholm.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Nov. 12.

THE QUEEN V. MUNTZ AND PHANE.
In this case, which was not concluded yesterday when we
went to press, the rule for a new trial was postponed.

BAIL COURT, Nor. 12.
SOUTHEND PIER COMPANY.
In this case the Court granted the rule for a 7?' anda m s ,
which was applied for by Mr. Price, on Saturday.
Mr. RYLAND applied to the Court for a rule, calling upon
the Justices of St. Albans to show cause why a writ of man-
dames should not issue, commanding them to hear an appeal
under the 6th and 7th Will. IV., c. 96, s. 6.
Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE granted a rule to show cause.
Mr. ALEXANDER applied for a writ of habeas corpus. A
lad, named Wood, was detained from his father, by one of
his relatives.
The COURT granted the writ.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Nov. 12.
WATSON V. REEVE.

Mr. GRAY applied for a rule to show cause why a new trial
should not be granted in this case upon affidavits, which
stat%l that the cause was the eighth on the list of causes stand-
ing Tor trial before Mr. Justice Parke on Saturday last ; that
the attorney in the case had not thought it necessary to deliver
his brief before eleven o'clock on that morning; but that,
when he went down to the Court for that purpose, he found
that the cause had been tried as, undefended. Of course, be
moved for the rule, on the payment of costs out of the pocket
of the attorney himself.
The COURT granted a rule to show cause.

ADMIRALTY COURT, Nov. 12.
THE TRITON-BOTTONIRY.

In this case the Triton, from London to Singapore, met on
her homeward voyage with bad weather, and put into the
Cape, where the master received two bottomry bonds. The
vessel proceeded on her voyage, and arrived at Plymouth,
where another bottomry bond, to the amount of 1771. 7s. 9d.,
was given in consequence of the alleged necessary expenses
which had been incurred, the owner of the vessel having died
at Kirkaldy, in Scotland, immediately previous to the granting
of the bond. The question for the consideration of the Court
was, whether the case came within its jurisdiction, as the bond
was given at Plymouth, the practice usually being that bonds
could not be upheld unless entered into at some foreign port.
Dr. HAGGARD appeared on behalf of the holder of the bond.
The COURT would make no order till it had been informed
of all the facts. In the mean time it would give its attention
to the arguments offered on behalf of the Plymouth bond-
holders.

Senate.

" Corfu, August 17, 1838.
" ' Highness,—l have the honour to furnish, for the in
formation of your Highness, and of thq Noble Senate, tF
copy of a despatch and inclosed documents received by me
from her Majesty's Minister at the Court of Athens, on the
subject of certain arbitrary proceedings committed by the
Greek Government towards certain lonian subjects residing
in Greece—acts which gave rise to the strongest remon-
strances on the part of the aforesaid Minister, Sir E. Lyons.
I am convinced that on examining the above-mentioned do-
cument your Highness and the Noble Senate will observe
that Sir Edmund Lyons has omitted nothing to secure to
'onion subjects that protection which belongs to them by in-
ternational rights secured by treaty, and to procure at the
same time the same reciprocity of amicable neighbourly con-
sideration which the subjects and the interests of his Hel-
lenic Majesty have constantly received from the lonian Go-
vernment.

"' I have the honour to be,

PORTRAITS OF THE DARLINGS.

-Achermann, London, 1838.
These are lithographed likenesses of the Darling law'',
—that is to say, of William Darling, his wife, and Gr°-
Darling, their daughter, the celebrated heroine of the Fer.(l,
Islands. We cannot, of course, speak to the accuracY
the likenesses ; but this, at least, we may say of them, tbac
they are " full of mark and likelihood." The portrait 0'
Mr. Darling—which, by-the-bye, bears no indistinct rhc;
semblance to that of Wordsworth, prefixed to et 3
a
latest edition of his poems—is the portrait r,
thoughtful and observant man ; the eye, in POO
titular, is full of intelligence. Mrs. Darling, 1,
the contrary, is a buxom, jolly dame, whose rotioui
chubby face, expresses a world of kindliness and gly
humour. Grace Darling is represented as a very Pr,e,,the
young woman, which all heroines are, or should be. le
eyes are replete with a certain arch vivacity ; and a sn'
of infinite sweetness plays about the small, well-dcfil'ee
mouth. Her face is much more attractive than ally of the.l
which figure in " Heath's Book of Beauty." A Frovincl3s
Contemporary, we perceive, says.,that she richly deser'rc
siio
a husband, for her late heroic achievement. Bless her,
deserves a dozen !

QUEEN'S BENCH.-(TII1S DAY.)

D plAu'lrLpKol,NliSnOg to have been sworn
N.
Mr. PLATT, in this case, applied to the Court for a rule to
sbylwGwecoarge
cause
why the affidavits A
Whettenhal and Thomas Turner, should not be
pl'aced upon the files of the Court. The case was an action
brought
by Davis against Wilkinson, in which a verdict
was had for the plaintiff, and a rule was now depending
to set aside that verdict, and obtain a new trial. In
t V.
answer to that rule affidavits had been sworn on behalf
of the plaintiff, and these two persons, Whettenhal and
Turner, bad been called upon by the plaintiff's attorney
to make affidavits to certain facts which had been related by
supposed, correctly read over to them, and
them. When they came down to Westminster the affidavits
tycheery7s:r as tel:ie them;y but since then they have heard what has
induced them to believe that the affidavits differed in material
the attorney to see the affidavits, but he had refused
points from what had been read over to them. They had ap-
plied to
tow them, and had refused them to the plaintiff, and when
ttloie show
asked where the plaintiff lived he said he could not tell.
Now, it appeared that the plaintiff had since then taken the
benefit of the Insolvent Act, and could not be found. When
and
oifldan b l fraud had been practised in getting
y means of the present application be
.
the rule came on it might turn out that these affidavits were of

THE KING V. CALCRAFT.

Mr. NVIGHTMAN, in this case, applied to their Lordships to
fix a day on which the defendant might come up and receive
the judgment of the Court. He had been convicted at the
last Liverpool .Assizes of subtracting a witness in a case of
urand judgment had been passed without the defendant
,mvpder,
earing. He was extremely poor, and could not remain in
London for any time without very great inconvenience.
Lord DENMAN thought it better that they should adhere to
the rule laid down. The application must come on in the
form of a motion at the end of the Term.
The COURT then took the special paper.
