EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.)

STEWART V. SIMPER.
. . _

This case, which was an issue directed by the Court
of Chancery, to ascertain whether the F,laintiff was a
bankrupt within the moaning of the statute, was tried
before Mr. Baron Parke at Westminster, when a verdict
was found for the defendant.

Mr. M. CHAMBERS now moved for a new trial. The
Plaintiff was a barrister, and had taken certain lands in
the neighbourhood of London upon lease, for the pur-
Pose of building upon them, and had entered into ccn-
tract with several persons for the necessary building
Materials, and for the work and labour required in the
erection of the houses. The speculation failed, and the
creditors obtained a fiat in bankruptcy, to which the
Plaintiff took exceptions. Three points arose at
the trial—first, whether the plaintiff was a dealer
in the articles required in the building operations;
secondly, whether he was willing and ready to build for
I/ person who might employ him; and, thirdly,
Whether the plaintiff was a builder in the sense in
Which the term builder had been expounded by the
Court of Bankruptcy. Upon each of those questions
the jury returned an answer in the negative. The
Learned Counsel said there could be no doubt that a
geLtleinan was not a builder who built upon his own land
Or estate, with a view of improving it, or for any other
Pu;.pose; but submitted that a person was in a different
Position who purchased land fur building speculations.
The COURT was of opinion that the case had been
correctly put to the jury, and that they could properly
come to no other verdict upon the evidence before them.
----Rule accordingly refused.

COMMON PLEAS.—(THIS DAY.)
(Sitting: in Banco, before Lord Chief Justice WILDE,
and Justices COLTMAN, CRESSWELL, and WILLIAMS.)

WLEIN V. PHILLIPS.

Mr. DANCE said in this case he bad to show cause
against a rule obtained by his L',,erned Friend Mr.
lingdon on the last day of last term, to show cause
Why the Master's taxation should not be set aside. This
was an action brought to recover a sum of money fur
Work and labour, and for goods sold and delivered. The
defendant had paid 1801. into Court. The ease never
Went to trial, but the defendant obtained judgment as in
Et ease of uonsuit. Ou the taxation of the costs, the
Master allowed the plaintiff his full costs up to the time
of Paying the money into Court, and the defendant's
'oats aubsequent to that time, and sat off the plaintiff's
"3t5 against the defendants. That taxation was ob-
jected to on the part of the defendant, who contended
that the plaintiff was not entitled to any costs; but if to
111!IY Costs, it would be only the costs as upon inmate-
:lsl issue. He (Mr. Hance) appeared for the to
tlll3l3ert the Master's taxation; and the question seemed
latilh to be, whether the plaintiff was entitled to any
I:4v-is at all. The question was, whether the plaintiff,
hLing failed to go down to trial, and the case never
—ng been determined, was to have those costs which
Would otherwise have been entitled to.

COURT.—('PHIS DAY.)
BAIL/
Mr. Justice COLERIDGE.)
Ur• I?RASHLF.Y MENTZ V. ELANE.
e on eh of Coloncl 81, te
defendant
edant in this case for ab writalf of certiorari to qancu,ashh
grounder of bastardy' and an order of sessions. The
rodths upon which he moved were these :—Some time
e pl
' aintiff summoned the defendant before Mr.
the erlP, to show causo why he refused to contribute to
thatUPPOrt of her bastard child, and upon the hearing of
Nbi,sutnreens Mr. Broderip decided against the plaintiff.
kr:e(.lllenfly she summoned him a second time before
ghurn, Marlborough-steet, who made an order
111)ou '"iu
th
e defendant, adjudging him to pay 20. 6d. per
towards the maintenance of the child, which order
kinaubsbquently confirmed on appeal by Mr. Sergeant
"tas at the Middlesex Sessions. It was quite clear,
czioivrciek p
erir, that the first decision in the matter by Mr.
was final, and that was one of the grounds upon
Up:" the Learned Counsel moved. The second ground
otiVvilich he moved was, that the child was born out
country,
at Fligne, in the south of France, and

the magistrates, therefore, had no jurii.diction in the
case. There were s,tr.c other minor points of a tech-
nical thAr!cter upon which he a!-,o r(st“l his too' ion,
but with hi.; Lordship% pertniion he woull wen!ion the
case ag,ain to morrow, v,hen o aid be prepared to
state them.

Mr. Justice CCLERIDCE :marked, that discus: 14;
questions of this nature upon little technical points of
minor importance only seemcd to lower the bar and the
Court in the estimation of the public, and as the two
grounds stated were sufficient to juatify his granting the
application, he thought the Learavd Couniel had better
take his writ now.

Mr. PRASHLEY thanltcd his Lordship for this intima.
tion, and slid he would do so.

T::e application 23 Ficenr,';in2ly neceded to.

MARLBRW-STREET-( THIS DAY

James Locke, an elderly man, who described himself
as surgeon to the Royal Belgrave Lying in Institution,
5, Chapel-street, May-fair, and Geowe Curtis Locke, his
son, were placed before Mr. Hardwick, charged with two
others, now in custody, with obtaininte, charitable con -
tributioes by false and freuduknt pretences.
Inspector Lester, A division, stated that from infor-
mation he received from the two persons now m custody,
who were sons of the elder prisoner, he went on Satur-
day evening, in company with a constable, to No. 5,
Chapel-street, May-fair. Witness directed theconstable to
knock at the door for admittance, but the inmates refused
to open the door. After some difficulty they managed to
effect an entrance by the area into the kitchen. The
elder prisoner then came down stairs vs ry much excited,
and asked what, they wanted. Witness told him to be
calm and step into the parlour, when he would tell him
what he called about. Witness then informed him that
his two sons were in custody, charged with obtaining
money under false pretences from Sir John Lowther,
and he should also apprehend him for being concerned
with them. The prisoner then said that could not be, as
Sir John Lowther had told him that he did not wish
to continue his subscription. Witness said that it
was assumed that the Royal Belgrave Lying-in
institution had ceased to be in existence, and that he had
no authority to use the names that appeared on the cir-
culars. The prisoner replied "to say it has ceased is
absurd, they were the names of the subscribers, who had
never withdrawn their names from the institution, and
that he had many letters to prove his authority for using
many of the names." Witness said it was also assumed
that there was no committee. Prisoner then named a
Mr. Evans, and two or three others, and when they met
the great people had notice but did not attend. Witness
then told him anything he could produce to prove the
xistence and genuiness of the society he (witness) would
be glad to receive. The prisoner rejoined that he had
letters from the Countess de Neuilly and the Bishop o!
Manchester, who were subscribers to the society. Wit-
ness said be should take posession of all documents ap-
pertaining to the society, and which he should have ac-
cess to fur his defence. Witless afterwards asked the
younger prisoner for the other collecting-book. He
said he had not got it—perhaps it had been left conic-
where, but he could not tell anything about it. Wit-
ness then taxed him with having been out collecting
money with his brothers, now in custody. He said
he had. Witness expressed his doubts about
the book being out of the house, and told
him, he should make a search for it. The prisoner sub-
sequently went to a drawer and pointed to the book now
produced. This book contained the names of persons
who had recently subscribed to the institution. Witness
then said they must consider themselves in custody, and
conveyed them to the station. Witness had no further
evidence to produce now, but he should be prepared to
prove on a future day that the society was not in exist-
ence, and that the prisoner had received some 100/. on
behalf of the institution. Mr. Thomas Enward, butler to
Mrs. Childers, 100, Eaton-square, proved paying 10e Eel.
to the younger prisoner for the Royal Belgrave Lying-
in Institution. The prisoners were then remanded until
Wednesday next.
