THE FUNDS.

We bear that the Belgian Deputies are very oh•tinate, in
their interview with Prince Ceburg and the Ministers ;
they threaten to clothe the Belgium troops in the same
uniform as the French troops, and declare Belgium a De•
partment of France, but all these manoeuvres will have no
avail, they cannot resist the Five Powers. Owing to the
express from Paris bringing the French Funds lower, our
market is rather heavy ; Consols, which left off yesterday at
83i s, opened at 83k, at present they are 83k.

HALF-PAST ONE.

The accounts from Antwerp are that the firing bf mus-
ketry took place at intervals all day yesterday (on Mon-
day), and was renewed on the morning of Tuesday at
half-past one o'clock, very smartly, all along the quay of
the town, and kept up with great spirit on both side.,, but
the fire was principally returned frUrn the Tete de
Flandres, and the Dutch gun-boats. Three twelve-pounders
were also fired from the castle upon a Belgian vessel
trying to force a passage. The firing ceased at eleven
o'clock, upon some arrangement entered into between
General de Failly, the Minister of War, who arrived from
Brussels with General Chasse. We are now perfectly
tranquil, and order again restored. No lives have been
lost, and a few only slightly wounded.
On the above information being known, Consols, which
were 831 for the Account, receded to 83; at present they
are 83 to i•
A gentleman who arrived from Antwerp this morning
represents the above affair in a more serious light : he states
that many were killed and carried off privately. It is
supposed 15,000 or 20,000 persons have left Antwerp.
In the Foreign Market no business doing.

INCENDIARISNI.--WC regret to learn that
this atrocious crime has not ceased in Lincolnshire, for on
Friday night last a stack of wheat, valued at 601., was
burnt upon the farm of Mr. IRELAND, of Thornton-le-Fen ,
the corn was to have been thrashed this week. We sin-
cerely trust the villains who set fire to the stack will be
detected and brought to punishment.—Boston Gazette.

LAW INTELLIGENCE7,(THIS DAY).

COURT OF KING'S BENCH. •
BRIDGES, BEETSON, AND CO. C. METCALF.

This action was brought to recover the sum of 700/. with
interest, being the amount of two bills of exchange, which
were accepted by the defendant. The plaintiffs are emi •
nent hosiers in the city, and the defendant is brother to
Mr. Metcalf of the late firm of White and Metealf, Nava- /
rims House, Lamb's Conduit-street, whose bankruptcy
caused a great sensation in the city some time ago, and
out of their affairs the present action arose. •
The case for the plaintiffs was stated by Sir JAMES
SCA BLEW, and conducted by Mr. CAMPBELL. It ap-
peared that in or about the month of Aprsl, 1829, Messrs. i
White and Metcalf were indebted to the plaintiffs in the
sum of 9,0001., which they (the plaintiffs) were anxious
to have reduced. They had frequently applied to Messrs.
White and Metcalf for that purpose, and were told by Mr.
Metcalf of that firm that his brother (the present de-
fendant) owed him 1,000/. ; they had pressed him fre-
quently for the money, and at last wrote a letter to him
stating that they were much pressed for money, and if it
was not convenient for the brother to pay the 1,0001. in
cash, on stating the necessity of the case to him, he would •
Surely accept bills at different dates for the amount. There
was a postscript to the letter, saying if it was not convesient
for Mr. H. Metcalf to take up the hills when they because
. .

due, that either they (the plaintiffs) or White and Metcalf
must assist, him for a time. This letter was relied upon
by both sides as conclusive of the case, according to the
construction that would be put upon it by the Jury.
Mr. CAMPBELL, for the plaintiffs, produced evidence
to show that at the time the plaintiffs received the bills
from Messrs.' White and Metcalf, they had an open ac-
count, on which was due to them upwards of 9,00 N.,
and that the hills in question were, on the day they were
received, placed to the credit of White and Metcalf.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL, assisted by Mr. COMY N,
conducted the defendant's case, and contended that the bills
were mere accommodation bills, of which the pl
were well aware, and that though the defendant might be
liable to another party, be clearly was not to Messrs.
Bridges and Beetson, as their knowledge of the whole
transaction being entirely accommodatio❑ was proved by
their own letter.

Mr. CAMPBELL, replied, and said he had clearly proved
his case, he had beard nothing in the defence to
require from him a long reply. Nothing kid been
brought forward to contradict what ke had proved,
namely, that the pl lintifft had taken these bills in the re-
gular way of their trade, anti that their letter merely
showed that they had no wish to hurry the defendant,
and that they would make the payment to suit his own
con venience.

The Learned JUDGE then summed up, and the Jury,
after a very short deliberation, returned a verdict fur the
plaintiffs—Damages 7811.

PIGEON-SHOOTING A NUISANCE.-THE KING V. MORE.

This was an indictment for a nuisance. It appeared
that the elefendant was a gun-maker, and in addi-
tion to that business he kept a ground for pigeon and
rifle shooting, somewhere in the Uxbridge road. The
nuisance complained of was the noise arising from the
continual discharge of the guns, and that a great many
blackguards congregated in the neighbourhood for the pur-
pose of shooting at the pigeons that might chance to es-
cape from the gentlemen inside, and further that the bank
or fence set up for the stoppage of the balls was insuffi-
cient, so much so as to allow them to come through, and
in several instances have hurt people, and several accidents
have happened from horses being frightened in passing.
_ _

Mr. GURNEY and Mr. PifiLLirs appeared fur the pro-
secution, and produced evidence to corroborate what
was stated in the opening as shove. It further appeared
that the smoke from the gun factory was very
annoying, and that all these things had caused very gene-
ral complaints in the neighbOurhood. The present prose-
cution was agreed to at a vestry meeting, and is carried
on by a subscription among the inhabitants who feel
aggrieved.
On the cross-examination of the witnesses, it was shown
that since the prosecution was commenced, the danger has
in a great degree ceased, as the rifle shooting now takes
place, with the back of the party shooting towards the
road, but the ether nuisances continue.

The case fur the prosecution was still going on when
we went to press.

• COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.
NVILLIAMS, GENT., &C. V. WALTERS.
Mr. Serjeant WILDE stated the case. The plaintiff,
Mr. Hugh 'Williams, was an attorney residing at Carmar-
then, and the defendant, Mr. John Walters, was the sur-
viving partner of Messrs.- John and Robert Walters, the
bankers, also of Carmarthen, and this action was brought
to recover an amount between 401. and 50/. for business
done by the plaintiff as an attorney for the defendant.
The Learned Serjeant then said that there was a Court
in the town of Carmarthen, called the " Borough Court,"
which is held twice a week, at which a Mr. Wil-
bam Jones, who is the town clerk, presided as Judge,
and the greater part of the business connected
with the town was dine in that Court. It would be
quite impossible for the defendant, in his defence to this
action, to attempt to say that the business had not been
performed, or that it was not done by the plaintiff in a
professional manner. He understood, however, that he
(the defendant) had made arrangements with Mr. Jones,
the Town-clerk, to endeavour to deprive him of the com-
pensation due to him for his services. It had been sug-
gested that it would have been better to arrange the mat-
ter out of Court, but he (Mr. Serjeant Wilde)
:finding the
nature of the defence set up to be of such an extraordi-
nary description, that course was abandoned, and it was
determined that the case should come before the pub-
lic. Mr. Williams was distantly related to Jones,
Whom, as he before had state I, was the Town Clerk, and
the Judge of the Borough Court ; be was not only Town
Clerk and Judge, but the officer who settled all amount
of costs: in fact, he settled all business both judicial and
ministerial. Jones being advanced in years, and having
become a wealthy man, applied to Williams to come to
Carmarthen, as he wished to make arrangements with
him respecting the formation of a partnership: however,
the idea was abandoned, and no partnership was entered
into; but Jones, as a compensation for certain labours
done by him (Williams) said he would recom-
mend him certain clients, which he considered would
he an adequate remuneration for his services. Mr.
Williams, under the sanction of Jones, and upon the
faith of this promise, took an office, and established hint-
self with clerks, &c., and commenced business upon his
own account. Jones, according to his promise, did intro-
duce him to several clients—persons for whom he (Jones)
had formerly done business, and amongst others he so
recommended, were the Messrs. Walters, the bankers, and,
the present defendant. The Walters, having occasion to
defend themselves against certain actions, applied to Mr.
Williams to act professionally for them, and he having
taken the usual instructions, through his London agents,
did the business. He had sent in his bills of costs for
the work and labour done, to Messrs. Walters, who re-
fused to pay the 'amount, saying, that Mr. Jones, the
Town Clerk and Judge of the Court of Carmarthen,
was the only person who ought to receive the amount.
What authority he Mr. Jones could have to receive the
not. He

Was now told, that the Judge was coming to swear itr
Court,. that he. was the attorney in the cases so beard by
him in the judicial seat. He wished the Court and the
public to be in full possession of this fact, as he had docu-
ments to show that Jones had charged Williams with
the casts and fees, as officer of the Court, and had de-
bited him (Williams) with the amount. He should
also prove to the Jury the fact of Walters coining to the
offices of Williams and .giving him instructions in the
usual way of business.. He should likewise spew that the
business was done by Williams in the regular way. Ile
would prove that Williams performed it properly in his
own name, and he therefore trusted he should have
their verdict. The Learned Counsel then called
Samuel Thomas, who was examined by Mr. Serjeant
RtissiLL. He stated that he was clerk to the plaintiff;
and delivered copies of the bills now produced, to the tle-
fendant in March, 1829. He was in the office of the
plaintiff, and knew that the business was done by him
properly, and all costs of the actions brought for the de-
fendant were paid by him, and were proper charges.
'Mr. Caleb Jones, another clerk in the plaintiff's office,
proved that he conducted an action for the defendant
against a person named Wynn, and
Mr. Richard Jones, a third clerk, proved other actions
having been brought by the plaintiff on his own account
for the Messrs. Walters,
The bills of costs in each of the actions baying been
put in and read,
Mr. Serjeant WILDE said that was his case.
Mr. Serjeant 'FADDY addressed the Jury for the defen-
dant, and said that he would spew that Williams had
been employed by Jones merely as an agent, and it we'
very common, and an every-day occurrence, for one at-
torney to employ another to do his business as an agent,
which was clearly proved in " Barnes and Cupwell's" re'
ports. The Learned Counsel in conclusion called his wit-
nesses, and the case was proceeding when our reporter kit
