COURT OF KING'S BENCH.

The Grand Jury for the county of Middlesex were
sworn in this morning before Mr. Justice LirrLEDALE,
who addressed them at some length on the duties they had
to perform. He observed that frequently cases of con-
spiracy came before them, and in such cases they would be
aware there must be two or more persons concerned ; but
it was not necessary to prove any previous concert be-
tween the parties ; it was quite enough in point of law
if, at the transaction set out in the indictment, it was
proved they acted together. The Learned Judge was not
aware that there was any thing to come before them at
this time but misdemeanours•, and he knew of none of such
importance as would require him to draw their attention
to them.

Mr. BOTELEIL and Mr. SIMPKINSOg appeared in Court,
and were called within the Bar, having been appointed
King's Counsel.
Lord TENTERDEN remarked that he had received no
information on the subject as was the usual practice.
Sir J. SCARLETT (after speaking with the Lt arned
Gentlemen) said, they bad been called to the Bar in
Chancery yesterday, and they thought it their duty to
present themselves here this morning, though they had not
yet received their patents.
Lord TENTERDEN—O yes, in Chancery they consider
that actually done, which is only about to be done.
Sir JAMES SCARLETT assured the Court it was no dis-
respect on the part of the gentlemen, and hoped the Court
would excuse them, as it was a mere error of judgment.
Lord TENTERDEN—Oh, I impute no disrespect to the
gentlemen; I only mentioned it as being out of the usual
course. All the Judges should have notice on ccessions of
this sort.

%VINTER V. ITARDYMAN.

This was a case of insurance of a ship, chartered from
Buenos Ayres to Canton and back, with a proviso that the
half of the freight should be paid at Canton. The ship
arrived there, took in a cargo of tea, and according to the
agreement the freight was paid.

The vessel sailed and was lost on her return to Buenos
Ayres.

The question now was, whether the plaintiff had a right
to recover the amount of freight so paid on his policy of
insurance. The case was referred to a merchant of Lon-
don, who made an award in favour of the defendant.
Sir JAMES SCARLETT last term obtained a rule to show
cause why that award should not be set aside, and this
morning the case was fully argued by Sir J Imes Scarlett
and a gentleman behind the Bar, whose name we could
not learn.

The COURT consulted for some time, and then said they
would take time to consider their judgment.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.
The Court was occupied the wlmie of the morning in
hearing motions, which were devoid of interest to the public.

PALACE COURT.
TUE NEW POI ICE.---STREIGHT V. MANNING.

Mr. WALLINGEII opened the pleadings, and Mr. CA-
rEoN stated the ease to the Jury.—The Learned Counsel
said that the plaintiff, Mr. Streight, was a respectable ma-
nufaetorer of hats, residing i❑ Great Charlotte-street,
Blackfriars'-road ; and the defendant, Mr. Manning, was
one of the inspectors of the metropolitan police, M.
division, at Bermondsey; and this action was brought
to recover 71. 12s. 6d. for arrears of rent due to
the plaintiff for premises held by the defendant.
The Learned Gentleman then went on to state, that in
February, IS3O, about the haliquarter, the defendant took
possession of one of the plaintiff's houses, situate at No. 6,
Union Terrace, New Kent Road, at the rent of 301. per
annum. When the quarter became due, the plaintiff ap-
plied for the rent, but was told that it was not convenient
then to settle with him, but that he would as soon as pos-
sible. The plaintiff knowing that he held a respectable
public situation, did not press him, and the rent went on
to Christmas, when the landlord not having any chance of
payment put in a distress upon his goods. The defendant
coming home and finding a man in possession, sent for a
party of police from the station-house, and forcibly turned
the man out, and at night clandestinely removed his goods
to another house in Union-place, in the immediate neigh-
' bourhood. The plaintiff, according to the statute giving
him power to follow the goods within thirty days, em-
braced the advantage and did so; and within the limited
time he discovered where the property was deposited, and
Powell the broker was instructed to gain possession of the
goods, which by law be was empowered to do at the mo-
ment. Powell, aware of the treatment his men had received
at the hands of the defendant and his satellites on the preVious
occasion took with him two men, and proceeded to the
house in Union-place, where they were met by the de-
fendant, who demanded of Powell to know what brought
!Inn there ? He was told "to seize the goods," where-
upon he again procured assist ince, and a second time
forcibly ejected the broker and his men from the premises ;
but in the course of that day he signed an agreement to
the effect, that if he did not within two days pay all de-
mands, he would give him (the broker) quiet possession,
and upon the non-compliance of the agreement he (the
broker) would break into the premises and forcibly
take possession. This was done ; but the defendant
detained the keys from the 4th of January till March fel-
lowing, when he sent them enveloped in a parcel to Mr.
Streight's house, thereby keeping possession of the pre-
mises one quarter, the amount of which they now sought
to recover.

Witnesses were examined who proved the above facts,
and the defendant in person was addressing the Court
when our reporter left,

The state of the betting on this race would appear to
justify the belief that neither Circassian nor Colwick were
in their right form at Epsom, in no other way can we
account for their position in the odds. Incubus who ran
lliddlesworth pretty close, is at long odds—should he gu
to the north he will, no doubt, become a much better
favourite.
