LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JUNI: 17.

The Court were engaged till one o'clock in hearing motions
and arguments on rules for new trials, in which there was no
public interest. At one o'clock the Court rose, and the LOUD
CHIEF JUSTICE sat at Nisi Prins.

TIIE MARQUIS tor LONDONDERRY V. SLYNE AND

'ANOTIIER.

Mr. DER AR stated, that this was an action brought by the
Marquis of Londonderry to recover damages for the injury done
to his house on the 19th of July last, by the crowd, from the
defendants, as inhabitants oT the hundred of Ossulston.
_ _

-Mr. GURNEY said, that the noble plaintiff proceeded to re-
eover damages under a most beneficial Statute, which was passed
in order to give all his Majesty's subjects a common interest in
the suppression of tumultuous assemblies. The damage which
took place on the day of his Majesty's Coronation would be
clearly proved, and would entitle him to a verdict.
It was proved by the servants of the Noble Marquis, that
early on the morning of the day of the Coronation, a crowd,
amounting to 400 or 500 persons, assembled in St. James's-
square, and made a violent attack on the windows of the plain-
tiff's mansion. The glazier who repaired the windows, which
were partly of plate glass, proved that he received 191. 12s. 6d.
for repairing them, which was a reasonable charge.
Mr. C. Thompsoli watched the case for the defendants, but
admitted that there was no answer to the action.

The Jury, under the direction of his Lordship, found a ver•
diet for the plaintiff—Damages 191. 12s. 6d.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, JUNE 17.
John Charles Ridgway, a young man, very elegantly dressed,
appeared to take his discharge under the act. He was opposed
by Counsel on behalf of Messrs. Gilman and Lucas, Messrs.
Johnson, and other creditors. In his examination, he stated that
he was married in 1820, and went to prison in April last. His
mother-in-law, Mrs. Frances Matthews, an innke3per at Sheer-
ness, lent him 5001. about 6 weeks before his marriage. For this
sum he gave her on the Ist Feb. last, a warrant of attorney.—
On the 7th of the same month he incurred a debt to a consid-
erable amount with Messrs. Gilman, Lucas, and Co., for goods ;
and on the 15th called a meeting of his creditors. When called
upon previously by his creditors, lie did not state to them that
he was in an insolvent condition, but told them that he had con-
siderable property at Sheerness. He had executed a warrant of
attorney to a Mr. Cleve.
Mr. HEATH, who was Counsel for the insolvent, proposed
a reference of the case to Mr. Dance : this was agreed to, and
the further proceedings in the case were postponed until the
2d July.
William Hobday was opposed on two grounds : Ist, undue
preference ; 2dly, vexatious legal proceedings agtiinst cre-
ditors. The principal opposing creditor was a Mr. Tyson,
to whom the insolvent was indebted to a very considerable
amount In an action brought against the insolvent upon
a bill of exchange, held by Mr. Tyson, sham pleas were
put in, and writs of error filed. Thus the costs were
greatly increased, so as nearly to exceed the original debt in
amount. It was further proved that the insolvent had granted
a warrant of attorney to a Mr. Perkins, who was a creditor to
' the amount of 2801. Mr. Perkins had entered his opposition to
the insolvent, but had since abandoned it, and had become a
witness in the opposition of Mr. Tyson. The warrant of at-
torney had been given to Mr. Perkins without any demand for
it, and even without the knowledge of Mr. Perkins.
Mr. HEATH, as Counsel for the insolvent, maintained that
there was a collusion between the creditors against the insol-
vent—such a collusion as imperatively called upon the Court to
interfere. Mr. Perkins had in fact abandoned his opposition at
the request of Mr. Tyson, but would not acknowledge it.
The case was directed to stand over, for the production of
certain papers. The decision of the Court will then be given.
