EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings in Banco.)
The Conrt was occupied during the whole morning in
hearing motions of course, all of them involving more or less
points of practice in pleading, and none of them possessing
any feature of general interest.

COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.)
Sittings in Banco, before the Lord Chief Justice `MLLE,
and Justices COLTMAN, MAUL; and CBES/SWELL )
BARBER V. TOMLYN.

Mr. OGLE said he had to show cause against a rule obtained
on the 19th of April by Mr. Sergeant Byles, calling on the
plaintiff to show cause why a warrant of attorney, given as
a security for payment of the consideration money of an
annuity, and the execution thereupon, should not be
set aside, on the ground, amongst others, that
one-half of the consideration money was improperly
paid. The rule was obtained on an affidavit which
stated that so lons ago as 1838 an application was made by
Mr. Tomlyn, the present defendant, who is an attorney, for
the loan of 1701.; and the material point on which Mr. Ser-
geant Byles had relied, in support of his application, was that
the name of Miss Barber, the present plaintiff, had been used
colourable only.

Mr. Sergeant BrLEs said he would waive that point.
Mr. OGLE said, then the bole question was, as to whether
the consideration was or was not retained by the parties. He
proceeded to show, by reading the affidavits pn the part
of the plaintiff; that the deed of annuity in
question was dated on the 3d October, 1838, and that the
consideration money, 17CL, was paid in Bank of England
notes.

Mr. Sergeant BYLES contended that the affidavits on the
part of the defendant went to show that on payment of the
ccudderation money for the annuity, 204 was kept back to
discharge a bill of exchange due from Mr. Tomlyn, together
with 8/. odd for certain costs. _ _

The COURT were unanimously of opinion that the rule
should be discharged.

BUSY-STREET.-(THIS DA Y.)
Patrick Hay and James Alves, who were remanded last
Tuesday upon the charge of conspiring to defraud the Rev.
Mr. Griffin, of six hundred pounds, under the pretence of
procuring for him; through Lord John Hay, the office of
Chaplain to her Majesty, were this day finally ex-
amined and committed for trial, with a detainer
against Hay for obtaining 1201. upon false pretence.
Witnesses were examined to establish a con-
nexion between the two prisoners at the offices in Cannon-
row, from which the correspondence . with Mr. Griffin was
carried on ; and Lord John Hay was also examined, and de-
posed that he had never before this morning seen the prisener
Hay, nor had he ever negotiated with him or any other per-
son for the sale of an appointment under the Crown.

MARLBRO'-STREFT-(THIS DAY.)
THE SELF-STYLED COUNTESS OF CARLISLE.— Charlotte
Wetherelt, who assutnes the title of Countess of Carlisle,
and whose previous examinations have been given at full
length in this journal, was brought up before Mr. Bingham,
for the purpose of being examined touching her alleged in-
sanity, in order to her being passed to a lunatic asylum.
Mr. Griffiths, clerk to the board of guardians of the pa-
rish of St. Martin's, with Dr. Cross, the parochial surgeon,
was in attendance. It appeared that the case was adjourned
on the last occasion iu order to produce medical testi-
mony as the woman's insanity. Dr. Cross being the
medical man of the parish could not, according to the Act of
Parliament, testify alone to these facts. The case was there-
fore adjourned for a week, in order to get the opinion of Drs.
Bainbridge and Sutherland, conjointly with that of Dr. Cross.
It is imagined that the defendant's insanity is asmmed for
the sole purpose of raising money, and getting out of the
scrape she has got into by defrauding tradesmen of their
goods. While in court she conducted herself with the
greatest effrontery. She ws.s attired in a black silk dress
with yellow shawl, and wore a common India-rubber garter
on her left arm.
