POLICE INTEL-arc ENGE.

BOW-ST /I EET.--( POST-OFF ICE ROBBER T.)--Jamee
Whallry, who underwent an examination on Tuesday last, was
again brought up yesterday morning. He stood charged whit
having received a 281. note from his brother, ‘Fm. Whalley,
who was a letter carrier in the Post-Office, and who was, sub-
sequent to the time the note in question ought to have been
delivered in a letter sent to Mr. Howell, of Vincent-square,
Westminster, convicted and sentenced to transportation, know_
it to be stolen. The prisoner disappeared from his lodgings nt
February last, and was not taken until the 2d inst. The
prisoner in his defence denied any guilty knowledge in the
transaction, and said that he received the 201. note from hia
brother in payment of sundry sums which the latter had
borrowed from him to make up his payments at the Post Office.
He was merely called Jones by his master at Barnet in conse-
quence of his having been hired from the service of a Mr. Jones
in Ratcliffe Highway._The prisoner was fully committed to
Newgate for trial.
PunL tc-110 lIISES.-Several licensed victuallers were sum-.
moned by the well-known Johnson, for keeping open their
houses at improper hours, and amongst them were Mr. Os..borne, the landlord of the Ship, and Mr. Brames, of the King's
Head, both in James-street, Covent-Garden.
Johnson's witness proved that the two houses were open at
three o'clock in the morning ; and that men of all descriptions,
and women of the town, were served with liquors.
31r. Osborne, in his defence, said his was a market-house. -
and that he opened his house at three o'clock for the accom-
modation of persons, whose employment brought them to the
Plarket at that early hour from various parts of the country.
Mr. HALLS said that might be, and so far it was not objec-
tionable; but it was proved that the house was open to common
prostitutes, and other loose characters.
Mr. Osborne said, that his house being open, he could not
prevent those characters from cowing in with others.
Mr. HaLLs—Yes, you could prevent it, by refusing to serve
any but market people.
Mr. Brames's defence was the same, but it was held to be of-
no avail, and each defendant was fined 40s. and costs.
Mr. Osborne—Then cannot I open my house, Sir, for the
refreshment of market people at that early hour? Am I to
understand that? If so, it is very hard upon me and them.
Mr. HALLS said he would not give a direct answer to that
question. There could be no objection to market people being
supplied with refreshment, but that was not to be a cloak foe
supplying prostitutes and people of all kinds. There were .
more disorderly doings at night in the parish of Covent-gardea.
than anywhere else, and it had become a disgrace to the-me-
' tropolis. The Magistrates were determined to check these dis-
orders by every means in their power.
There was another summons against the landlord of the.
Nag's Head, in the same street, but it was not called on, and
Mr. IIaLLs asked Johnson the reason.
Johnson said he had withdrawn it.
Mr. IlaLts—And why, Mr. Johnson ?
Johnson—:Not, Sir, upon any compromise of a pecuniary
nature. I have not received, nor do I expect to receive any .
money.
. Mr. HALLS—Then why have you withdrawn it ? .
Johnson—Upon a promise that the offence shall not be re-
peated.
__ _

Dlr. HALLS—But you ought to know that you have no
power to withdraw a charge once made. The defendant should
be regularly called, and the conviction or discharge lest to the
discretion of the Magistrate. Such doings are extremely im-
proper, and will not be allowed.
Johnson said that the defendant's Solicitor came to the Office
and assured him the offence should not be repeated, and at his
request he consented to withdraw the summons.
31r. BECXET T (a Magistrate)—And who was that Solicitor?
why the Vestry Clerk of the parish, who is concerned in the
licensing of public-houses, who ought to be the last person to
interfere in such a matter. Though I have often spoken in
commendation of your conduct, I must say you aslo have dene_
very wrong.
Johnson said that such being the opinion of their Worships,
the case should still conic forward.

The averages of GRAIN, as they will nppear
in to-night's Gazette, are as follows :—Wheat, 638. 3d.
Barley, 41s. 11d.; Oats, 265. 9d.; Rye, 41s. 5d.; Beans,
465. Id. ; Peas, 555. Id. It is now the general opinion at the
Corn-market that the ports will certainly be open both for
Barley and for Peas on the 15th.
HEALTH.—The Bill of Health of the Metro.
polls during the past month is of serious iffirortance: Pivot
the returns of the burials under the four principal diseases with
wlich it is generally affected, we extract the following:—There
died during the five weeks of October, by fever 108; by in-
flammation 203 ; by measles 116 ; and by casual brnall pert
161. It appears that in all these the second week r, as the most
fatal ; a considerable abatement took place in the fourth week;
but in the last week, eading the 3d November, a large increase
ensued.

A singular circumstance attended the funeral
of Miss SARAit Rot.x.s, at Bisham, Bcrks, on Wednesday
last. All the bearers were fatherless, and the average height of
the eleven followers exceeded six feet.

We observe, with pleasure, that the miscella-
neous writings of the Philosopher and Naturalist
EvELYN (most of which are extremely rare), are
now collected and presented to the public in a
quarto volume, to range with his " Diary and
Correspondence." These works, with his noble
discourse on Forest 'Frees, under the title of
" Sylva," (of which a new edition, in 2 vols. 4to.
with Notes, has also just appeared), comprise
the whole body of Evely's productions. The
tracts forming the present volume are, more or
less, on subjects of great interest, including lively
pictures of the manners and amusement of his
time ; memoirs, fpolitical, domestic, and religious;
treatises on morals, horticulture, art, science,
commerce, &c.; in all of which the sound intel-
lect of "amiable and high-minded English Gen-
tleman" will be traced.

An INQUISITION was yesterday evening taken
before T. STIRLING, Esq. Coroner, and a most
highly respectable Jury, on the body of Jasper
Wilson, aged about 50 years, who suddenly fell
down and expired on Monday night, about ten
o'clock, at the house of Mr. Wm. Hastings, of
the Sun, corner of Brownlow-street, Drury-lase.
The Jury unanimously found a verdict, that the
deceased died from apoplexy.

THE LONDON JOURNALS.

DAILY
Extracts from the Morning Papers, N 077 . I'2, 1525.

[MORNING ,rosT.]
At a very late hourlast night an Express brought•
s Paris Journals to the 10th inst., and the .toile
of Thursday. The recognition of Brazilian inde-
pendence by Portugal through our mediation has
produced a great impression upon ail parties in
France. The Ministers and their friends appeal
to it as a full justification for the late Treaty
with the Republic of Hayti. The Ultra Royalists
dare not openjy blame it, because it is the work
of n legitimate Monarch, and the sovereignty of
Brazil is vested in his immediate descendant.
The Liberals express their exultation in the most
-vivid terms. Yet none of them seem to under-
stand exactly the situation in which the new em-
pire is placed. The Ministerialists say," it is a
Monarchy thrown amidst the Republics of the
New World, to which it will communicate the
influence of monarchical ideas." The Ultras
fear, that instead of influencing, it will be in-
fluenced ; and that " the Republican system will
invade a Monarchy standing isolated on the un-
stable soil of revolutions." The Liberals hope
itat it may acquire domestic liberty and consti-
tutional institutions. Now the fact is, that the
Empire of Brazil, instead of being an absolute,
is a limited and constitutional monarchy : that it
possesses all the guarantees of civil and public
liberty : that it has Legislative Chambers, and
that the Sovereign authority, though it has
framed the institutions given to the people, has
framed them in a more liberal and popular
spirit than the boasted charter of France, of
which little more than a tythe part remains in
operation. Such a Monarchy as Brazil is only
a political variation of the Republican system,
with an hereditary King, instead of an elected
President at its head, and may both claim and
receive admission to the general federation of
South American States, with as clear a right, and
as friendly a welcome as Mexico or Colombia.
As the Ultras will not blame Portugal, and yet
cannot tolerate the act, they vent their fury
against us, and charge us with having procured
the recognition of Brazil, merely to serve
our own interests. The Liberals conduct
themselves in a manner more consistent with the
name which they assume. , " It is England,"
they say, " who has emancipated Brazil. In her
able policy she has discovered the glorious secret
of securing the love, by exciting the gratitude of
nations, and of founding her pacific ascendancy
on the empire of the benefits which she confers.
Praise be to the British Ministry for these noble
tactics, for which its predecessors had pot pre-
pared us. But especially let us endeavour to
follow its example. Party writers will say that
England is guided by interested motives, and
only thinks of multiplying its guineas. And what
if it were true ? why should it be made a subject
of reproach ? What, in fact, is sound policy ?
Is it not that which mingles the interests of the
people with the claims of general justice ; and
.nsurcs the greatness and power of its country,
without neglecting or sacrificing what loyal Go-
vernments owe to other, nations, what honest men
owe to humanity ?"

[THE PUBLIC LEDGEnd
A considerable decline took place yesterday
in the English Funds, which was attended, as
usual, with a corresponding depression of nearly
all the. Foreign Securities in our Market. It
would be all but a desperate attempt to try to
account, in a satisfactory manner, for this fall ;
whilst to ascribe it to .mere manoeuvring would
be to assign an unmerited influence to the •un-
p7incipled adepts in this art. The rumours they
pet forth yesterday were of so gross a texture,
and so palpably ridiculous; that a single rational
being could not become their dupe. The follow-
ing specimens, out of many, will justify our asser-
th!rif :-4t was stated that Lord Liverpool had
eceded from the liberal portion of his colleagues,
and joined the friends of exploded principles ;
and this statement was impudently made in the
very teeth of facts, which spew his Lordship to
be one of the staunchest advocates of the anti-
restriction ,policy pursued for some time with
such signal advantage to the country. It was
then asserted. that Mr. Huskisson had not only
fn:led in the alleged object of his recent
visit to the Trench Capital, but that high words,
and even menacing gestures, had passed between
htm there and no. less a personage than his Most
Christian Majesty ! A dispute with the Prime
Minister of France would not suit the morbid
state for the outrj, that prevails in the Alley ;
and if, we were to notice, the embellishments that
were:givgp in accompaniments to the reported
controversy between Mr. fluskisson and the
french Monarch, they would provoke, we are
certain,inextingoishable laughter. According to
another rumour, there was a complete turn out
of tbe•Frentli Ministers, with the single excep-
tion of M. de Villele ; and this was the more
marvellous, .as the ' present French Cabinet is
wholly ; composed' of • persons either selected
by him, or -controulled by the ascendancy of
his genius. Were the rumour, however, true,
it ought to 'have' produced a contrary im-
pression to what was probably contemplated
by its authors ; as the change would not re-
lax, but strengthen, the present friendly rela-
tions betweeii the two countries. Count Villele
is not only the most able, but by far the mast li-
beral, man in the Ministry ; and should he there-
fore procure the dismissal of hit colleagues, it
would be for the sole purpose of forming a more
liberal Ministry than the present. This rumour,
however, had not the merit of novelty, as it had
appeared before in a-Brussels Paper—a doubtful
source, at best, for French news ;- and we only
repeat what we said before, that should it, con-
trary to all probability, receive confirmation, it
would only•tend to strengthen the friendship so
happily subsisting between the two countries.—
We cannot possibly trace any connexioti-between
this report 'and the decline which took placit in
the French •Rentes on. Wednesday, and which
was probably the chief, if not the sole cause .of
the depression, which occurred yesterday in our

own funds. The alarming state of Spain offers a
clue, without going further, to the fall of the
Rentes, and that country is in such a frightful
situation, that we are not in the least surprised
at the unfavourable impression it appears to have
made on the French market. In the meantime,
the public securities both of France and England
are now feeling the effects of that transition to
which all other interests had been previously sub-
jected. During this period, they had acquired an
artificial value, which is disappearing in proportion
as the other interests begin to right themselves.
An increased demand for capital in trade necessari-
ly imparts languor to speculations on the Stock Ex-
change ; and as the channels of trade in both coun-
tries have been considerably widened of late, the
additional capital that has flowed, and is con-
tinually flowing into them, is sufficient, in our
opinion, to explain the la►;gour which now per-
vades the former ; and which probably will con-
tinue as long as there is, an increased demand
for money in trade. In the mean time, it may
be truly said, that a desire to preserve the bles-
sings of peace is the ruling passion at this time
of all the European Cabinets; arid it cannot
therefore be said, that the feverish state of the
funds is a consequence of a feverish state of the
political world. The foreign arrivals yesterday
brought no news of the slightest interest.

[THE TIMES.]
AFTER BUONAPARTE WAs SET ASIDE, THERE WAS
A QUESTION AMONG THE ALLIES OF THE POS-
SIBLE EXPEDIENCY 0? PLACING SOME OTHER
THAN A BOURRON ON THE THRONE OF FRANCE.
Mr. CANNixa's State Paper on the acknow-
ledgment of the Independence of the Spanish
American Colonies, March2s, 1825.
Louis the XVIII th of France! LouisLeDesire!
jump out of Purgatory upon earth ! Don't wait
for the prayers of the Papists! But if there
be such a place as Purgatory, and thou be'st
there, jump directly upon earth and hear
this ! The Allies deliberated, when the throne

of France was actually vadant! between a
Bourbon and a nameless somebody—but at least
no Bourbon, no legitimate,—which they should
place en the throne of France. This is, indeed,
a death-stroke to legitimacy, given by the legi-
timates themselves. Hear this, Charles X. of
France—(by the way, there was a Charles X.
before, but no matter for that—he was only an
honest Cardinal that cohabited with his sister)—
Hear this, then, Charles X. of France, who art
not yet got into Purgatory, but only in the hands
of the Jesuits : hear it, and tremble on that
throne which by so mere a casualty is thine !
Now, for our own parts we shall say, though
,greatly the friends to legitimacy, yet had Buona-
parte actually been upon the throne of France at
the time alluded to, and the deliberation been
whether we should continue our endeavours to
shove him off by means of a Bourbon, consider-
ing not the question of right, but the different
abilities of the two men, the one to get up,
and the other to keep upon his seat, we
might have hesitated : but when the usurper
is actually tumbled off, and the throne
empty, to hesitate whether we shall relapse the
rightful owner, or look about for some adven-
turer—one of the French Marshals, for example,
or Prince Hohenlohe, the Papist miracle-mon-
ger, or little Nap, or—nobody knows whom,—
this is such an insult both to the people of
France, and to the Royal Family of France, as
we could never have contemplated. And this
tremendous truth has Mr, Canning conveyed,
or re-conveyed, to the ears of the Royal Family
of France, and to the whole French nation,
eleven years after the country had been esta-
blished under its ancient dynasty ! We confess
our wish and intention was, to let this very
fearful subject drop; but that Mr. Canning may
see the injury that is done him by stupid writers,
incapable of appreciating his eminent ta-
lents, we must state that we have been
provoked from our intended " silence, in con-
sequence of seeing the indiscretion which we
are now reprehending greatly aggravated in
the Courier of last night; for that Journal—
not to our astonishment, for nothing astonishes us
in it, but—to our renewed disgust, avows that
Mr. Canuing has published the awful fact, which
indeed no one can deny ; and that he has done
it—only to get the better in an argument with
Mr. Zea. These are the words of the Courier—
" Why should not that fact be stated in reply to
a false argument of Mr. Zea?'.!" And again—
" A British Minister was not to presume even in
" the way of argument (mighty motive, to be
" sure!) to refer to the notorious fact, that even
" after Buonaparte was set aside, there was
" a question among the Allies of the possi-
" tile expediency of placing some other than
" a Bourbon on the throne of France."—
Now, in observing upon the notoriety of the
fact, we have only to say, that if it be
notorious, poor Louis XVIII., now getting
prayed out of purgatory for this as well as other
sins, must have been one of the most notorious—
we will not say what—that ever existed ; and if
this subject is pressed further,'twe shall make a
collection of extracts from his various speeches
and other public documents during his reign, ill
direct contradiction to this assertion of Mr. Can-
ning, and stating that his Majesty was called to
the throne of his ancestors by the ardent w ishes
of his people ; that he was borne on their shoul-
der ; and that his faithful allies, true to his cause
and the principle of legitimacy, &c.&c. In truth
we believe the late King of France died, and
that the present King has hitherto lived, with-
out the knowledge of this " notorious fact."--
We are ready with much more upon this subject,
but abstain in the hope that the fools will be si-
lent. We shall now only add, that a deep stab
has been already given to the amicable feeling
existing between the two countries, as the
Courier says (and we have been told that even
that stupidity has been copied), " for the sake of
argument."

[NEW TIMES.]
We must not suffer the presentation of M. ur-
tado to his Majesty, as Envoy Extraordinary and
Minister Plenipotentiary front the Government of
Colombia, .to pass unnoticed. It is, indeed, an
event which .will make its due impression through-
out Europe, as proving, that in (natters of form,

as well as of substance, the policy of his Ma-
jesty's
Ministers is decided and consistent. On
Monday last, the ratifications of the Colombian
Treaty were exchanged with M. Murtado ; and
he, being furnished by his own Government
with the proper credentials, was presented at the
first Court held by his Majesty after the ex-
change. The introduction by the Master of the
Ceremonies, and presentation by the Secretary of
State for Foreign Affairs, took place, with the
accustomed formalities ; and M. Hurtado's recep-
tion by his Majesty• was most gracious.—
, Among the numerous idle accusations which
have been thrown out against his Majesty's
Ministers, it was some months ago suggested
that they were afraid to. pay the honours
of diplomacy to the Representatives of the new
States of South America, lest by so doing they
should offend the .dignity of the European So-
vereigns. Nobody, who knew any thing of
the dispositions of the British Cabinet, could pay
a moment's attention to so absurd a charge ;
but it served welt enough for those peddling
politicians who collect their facts from The
Times, and their reasoning from The Edin-
burgh Review. The only shadow of a foun-
dation for their nonsensical notion was, that

the Minister of Buenos Ayres was not pre-
sented : and he was not presented simply be-
cause he was not furnished with credentials
in due form. The fault (if fault there was)
_rested wholly with his own Government ; but
the same objection did not exist in the case of
M. Hurtado, and therefore M. Hurtado was,
without hesitation, introduced at the British
Court, with all the honours due to his diplo-
matic rank.

[Euturtsll en.Ess.]
At a late hour last night we received the Paris
Journals of Wednesday, including the Etoile of
the following day's date. These Papers are quite
barren of political intelligence. General Cruz,
it appears, has been dispatched on a special mis-
sion from his Catholic Majesty to the French
Court. Among the senseless reports to which
this mission has given currency is the statement,
that General Cruz is going to embark for the
Havannah, in order to reconquer Mexico with
the Ferrol expedition ! M. Zea, it is asserted,
has ❑ot lost the King's favour, though he is dis-
missed from office. There can be no donbt, we
think, that. some powerful influence was exercised
over the King on this occasion ; hut how far the
expression of his sentiments towards the fallen
Minister may be regard,..d as the index of his
feelings, those who best know the character of
Ferdinand VII. would, perhaps, he the least
able to conjecture. The correspondence from
Greece in the Journal des Debuts is satisfactory,
inasmuch as it confirms the previous news of the
serious and decisive check sustained by the Turks
before Missolonghi. We are glad, also, to find that
the Greeks are beginning to learn a regular system
of military discipline. If they would submit to
this course of tactics, another campaign would
certainly close their glorious struggle with suc-
cess. Tl►e dangerous power of the Capitani could
not exist 'wittr disciplined troops ; and they
would then be in every respect superior to the
trained slaves of the Egyptian Satrap.—By the
quotations of the Paris Stock Exchange, it will
be observed that the Three per Cents. have de-
clined 14- per cent. On Tuesday they closed at
70f. 90c. ; on Wednesday at 69f. 40c.

[MORNING HERALD.]
It is a fact beyond all reasonable question, that
the Clergy of the Church of Rome are using ex-,
traordinary efforts to propagate the Catholic re-
ligion in Protestant, and extend the authority of
the See of Rome in Catholic States, on the Conti-
nent. Arnow, the laity, too, they have many
dupes or confederates. The efforts they make,
however, only prove the decay of their power
and their actual weakness. There is no time at
which people are more disposed to attempt to put
forth exaggerated pretensions than when'they are
conscious that their means of enforcing them
are diminished or already gone. Every day's
observation only proves the •decline of the.
Papal power. In some, the most enlightened
States of Germany, not only the Papal autho-
rity, but religious intolerance have vanished.—
The youth of two communions are educated
in the same University, and their respective
worships performed successively in the same
chapels. Some conversions have been made to
the Roman Catholic religion. But they were
persons who took refuge in implicit iredtility
from the bewildering, unintelligible abstractions
of German metaphysics, or mere literary sec-
tarians, like the Schlegels, or one of them, who
adapted the Catholic religion, as being that of
the middle ages, and more accordant with the
Gothic barbarism called the • romantic school of
literature. One conversion in-Switzerland made
some noise—that of M. De Haller, a man of
instruction and talent, certainly. But M. De
Haller immediately on his conversion - entered
into the service of the Ultras at Paris, and it
may be presumed, like his countrymen in the mi-
litary service of France, entered into a formal
capitulation for his pay and allowances. In
no instance does it appear that any impression
has been made upon the credulous or conscienti-
ous mass of the common people, which is the
great vehicle of religious opinion after all. In-
France there is an out-cry against the prints. But
what does this prove ? Only that the Catholic
Clergy are struggling to retain or recover that:
which they feel they are losing, or• have lost ;
and that public opinion, even under a Govern-
ment by no means liberal, completely over-
masters them. Even in Spain, the priests and
their party are not only a factious minority, but
are indifferent about mere points of doctrine and
anxious only, for wealth, power, and abuses. The
Belgium Catholic Clergy have manifested recently
an indisposition to submit to the creditable re-
forms introduced into the system of Church
government and education ; but it is the natural
resistance of individual interest, and long-esta-
blished, however pernicious, uses. The Belgians
are among the most igborant and bigoted Catho-
lics ; and the King of the Netherlands, conscious
of the wisdoM of his measure, and of the appro-
bation of Europe, as well as of his means of

easily enforcing obedience, has not condescended
to make any compromise with their Ignorance
and bigotry.

[MORNING CHRONICLE.]
The new Court of Chancery at Westminster is
now finished ; but it is the general opinion of
the Bar that Lord Eldon will never sit in it.—
Let not our readers be alarmed—no prodigy
is expected—it is not supposed that his Lord-
ship is about to retire ; but it is believed that
Lincoln's Inn Hall has so many peculiar conve-
niences for the Chancellor, that he will never sit
at Westminster. Many things render sitting at
Westminster particularly disagreeable to Lord
Eldon. At Westminster he is under the sur-
veillance of the whole Profession—many pry-
ing eyes are upon him, and all the Lawyers know
exactly what he is doing, or rather, more properly
speaking, what he is not doing. Mr. Brougham
drops into the Court, and consults the paper of
causes, that stationary satire on the Judge; or
Mr. Williams attends, specially, to hear his Lord-
ship defer an appointed judgment. All these
things vex and fidget the best of possible Equity
Judges, and make him uneasy in his seat.
Now, at Lincoln's Inn Hall there is nothing
of this kind ; it is quite out of the way of
the other Courts, and no persons every think of
going there, except those who have business, and
a few mad people, whose singular delusion it is
to imagine that redress of grievances is to be had
iu Chancery. It is a sung, comfortable, retired
Court, secure against intrusion, in which the
Lord Chancellor feels himself almost as much at
ease as in his private chamber, and in which he
can gossip with the Bar, and compliment Learned
Gentlemen on their marriages, and such matters..,
Lincoln's Inn Hall possesses, moreover, this
incalculable advantage, that in Term time, the
Lord Chancellor -is turned out at three o'clock,
when the tables are laid for the dinner of the
Society. It is impossible to rate this advantage
too highly. A half-holiday is not only daily
forced on the Chancellor, but his Lordship en-
joys the opportunity of uttering a diurnal lamen-
tation that the Lord Chancellor of England has
not a roof under which he can apply himself
without interruption to the hearing of causes and
the delivery of judgments. Nothing can he more
pleasant than this ejectment from the place of
business, it sends his Lordship to play, and at
the same time gives him occasion to claim all the
merit of diligence which a lamentation that he is
not allowed to continue his labour can give to him.
When he rises at 2, to attend .a Cabinet Council,
not a murmur escapes-him, for he is passing patient
of politics, but when he rises at three o'clock that
the Society of Lincoln's Inn may dine, Heaven
and Earth resound with his outcries, and lie calls
the stars out of the firmament to witness a Court-
less Chancellor thrust out of doors, and thrown
idle upon the town a full hour before his time.
This is a pleasure that it is believed, he will not
easily forego, and accordingly large bets are of-
fered Out not taken) at the bar, that he will not
go to Westminster—unless, indeed, as is not. un-
likely, the notice of this persuasion piques him
into doing so. -

LAW INTELLIGENCE•

COURT OF CHANCERY, Nov. 11.
IN THE MATTEIc OF WILLIAMS, A BANKRUPT.
An application was made by a creditor, who holds consi-
derable tallow belonging to the estate, the produce of which is
to be set offagainst his account, to have a value fixed for it
under the Commission, so that he might come in and prove his
debt, and take his chance in the appointment of assignees, uow
about to take place.
This was resisted as totally unnecessary ; there could be no
hurry for the appointment were it a month hence, and it might
have the effect of prejudicing the rights of the creditors if the
tallow were taken either above or below what it would really
fetch.
The Loan CHANCELLOR could see no serious objection to
the application, as all parties must be conscious that if any
thing improper were to take place in the appointment of as-
signees, the Court would be sure to overturn the proceedings
under the Commission.
