Prosecutor deposed, that on the afternoon of the 14th
ult., the prisoner and another female entered his shop
shout one o'clock, and asked to look at some pieces of

THE NELSON COLUMN.

(PRIVATE VIEW—THIS DAY.)
At length we have had the gratification of beholding
the completion of one of the bronze bassi relieve, which
are destined,within the present century to adorn the
noble column erected in Trafalgar-square to the
of the darling hero of England. Mr. Carew,
Cre artist, has nobly achieved the task entrusted to
13 ability—a task worthy of evoking his very highest
eaPacities—that of portraying to a remote posterity
the last heroic scene in the career of the im-
roortel Nelson. He has selected for illus-
tration the simple but thrilling narrative
of Southey ; and the point of time chosen for repre-
sentation is the moment when Nelson was being
carried from the quarter-deck, after he had received
the terrible wound which deprived England of her
greatest sea captain and the world of one of its most
rotor,
'ornless heroes. "Captain Hardy," says the Dar-
" who had been in conversation with him only
few moments before, on turning round, saw him
elifted from the deck •b a marine and two seamen, elly

IMPORTANT QUESTION.—The plaintiff in this case
sued as executrix of a person namen Ilawden, formerly
a solicitor at Denbigh, to recover the sum of 510/. fur
breach of covenant.
Mr. TAILOR, the plaintiff's attorney, stated the case.
D.lfendant resides at Penny ford, in the county of Flint,
and in 1837 borrowed a sum of 310., at 5 per cent.
intereat, but on the death of Mr. Ilawden it was found
that both principal and interest remained still due.
Defendant had suffered judgment to go by default, and
as the attesting witnesses to the deed were both dead, he

was set out in the deed, and defendant had not pleaded,
he admitted the deed. lle could have traversed it if he
had thought proper. In his (the Learned Secondary's)
opinion it was not necessary to produce the deed,
although it was more satisfactory to do so, merely to
