(THIS DAY.)

(Before, Mr. CRAIG.)I
PARISH OF ST. MARTIN IN 'OE FlELDS.—Sanauel Den,
il o.
Norilumherland-street, was objected to by the Tories. It p;
peered froze; the statement of one of' ;,be parish officers, thi!.
Mr. Bell was a' &.71c. in the Post-office, anal that as he c
not vote, he objected to vaying the shilling, and therefore wished
his name to be struck out of the list.— Expunged. er
Several names were struck out consequence of fl to
appearing to support them, and other cases were allow
stand over, at the request of the agents on each side.
Mr. CRAIG complained that no pains had been taken to bring
up a single person on either side, by which considerable incom
vonience was caused.
William Cotton, 57, Charing-cross, was objected to by teed
Liberals. It appeared from the evidence of a person nam
Hawes, that Mr. Cotton is one of the Directors of the Pebeaa
Life Insurance Company, and that there are thirteen othe!.
Directors. They occupy one room at Charing-cross.
a•year. The other part of the premises is occupied by the
Plistnix Company, who rent it all, at 3001. a-year. The whole
of the premises belong to the Pelican Company. The°
was an alteration made in the building in September lest^
The business of the Pheenix Company had been previousir
carried on at the back part of the same premises, 25, Spring-
gardens but they removed immediately from one to the other.
He codd not say whether the room occupied by the Pelican
would be called a counting-house or an office. Mr. Cottou
and the other Directors meet there sometimes to manage the
business. Mr. Cotton resides at Laytonstone. at 2001
By Mr. CRAIG—The house belongs to the Pelican By
pany, which consists of various other persons besides the
Directors.
Mr. CRAIG—That is the point to which I wished to call the
attention of Mr. Score.
Mr. Score—l was quite aware of it.—( Laughter. )
By Mr. Score—The premises are held by the Directosso
as trustees for themselves and the other Proprietors.

Vote expunged.
William Davis, one of the Directors of the Pheenix C 00;
pany, was also objected to. It was proved that they 00,11 P,,
the premises above-mentioned at 3001. a year, and that We'
are 24 Directors.
By Mr. TROTT-The business belongs to the Comparl:
which is incorporated by Act of Parliament. There are to°re
than 50 Shareholders.
Mr. CRAIG said the question was whether this was an occ
pation by the Directors, or whether the premises were taken
in the name of the Corporation of which they were officers.,
Mr. Score submitted that all be need prove was, that ine
Directors occupied as tenants. He had proved that they
ec..
cupied, and that the receipt was given to them.
Mr. CRAIG said, on the evidence before him, it
the was
D inic:
sible to judge whether the premises were taken by ire
tors or in the name of the Corporation.
The case was directed to stand over, in order to afford titso
for the production of further evidence.
Mr. MYLNE proceeded with the list of the parish of st•
James, but nothing of importance occurred.

LAMBETH-STREET.

Samuel Fletcher, the father of three young men who have
been in custody for several days past on a charge of being
concerned in the late extensive robbery at the St. Ka-
tharine's Docks, and who is also connected with a gang
of swindlers, who for some years past have been carrying
on a most successful system of plunder, Elizabeth Fletcher,
and 111 imam Melchley, , were placed at the bar, and
charged with being concerned with the prisoners already
in custody in the commission of the robbery. They were all,
on the oath of Lee and other witnesses, who apprehended
them on the preceding night in Fox's-buildings, Kent street,
Borough, remanded until Friday next. The documents found
at the residence of Fletcher furnish ample proof of an exten-
sive system of swindling and plunder which had been carried
on by him and a gang of nearly twenty other accomplished
swindlers, many of whom make a very dashing appearance,
&c. The publication of the name of one of the party (Chap-
ple), who is in custody, has been the means of bringing to
light several cases of plunder in which he has been mixed up,
and the examination of the parties will bring forth some dis-
closures of an extraordinary character, as illustrating the
manner in which some persons in an extensive way of busi-
ness can afford to sell goods so much cheaper than their
neighbours.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, &arr. 22.
JAMES BURN'S BANKRUPTCY.
The assignees of this Commission, which bears the date sf
1817, appeared before the Learned Commissioner, for the
purpose of explaining as to the disposition of 14,0001. which
had been set apart for the payment of dividends under 'the
estate.
It appeared front the statement of Mr. Fothergill, one of
the assignees, that under the proceedings the majority of proofs
had been purchased by Mr. Coulta ' - therefore, when the divi-
dends were declared, which had been five in number, the
amount on the gross proofs purchased by that gentleman had
been paid to him ; and as to the two or three other creditors,
they had received their dividends.
The official assignee said that, since the Commission under
the new law had bnn transferred to him, he had thought it
his duty to call upon the assignees for an explanation. He
should require a calculation of the various dividends made,
with the amount each individual proving on the estate was
entitled to receive.
Mr. Commissioner HOLROYD decided that it was the duty
(4' the assignees under the commission, as first appointed, to
prepare the statement ; it ought to have beet appended to the
proceedings long since.
It was then a;reed that the statement should be furnished.
The bankrupt was a merchant well known in the commercial
circles, and failed for a large amount.

10,000 casks.

OIL MARKET.
It sce ns probable that if good accounts of the catch at
Davis' Straits had not been received, the high price of Tallow
would have caused Oil to rise. As it is prices have not au
upward tendency. Cod is quoted at 371., Pale Seal at 381.
to 381. 10s., and at 251. to 301. 1,700 tuns of Oil have been

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION-HO USE.
On Saturday, Captain Henry William Hyland, Hon. East
India Company's Service, was brought up on a warrant,
charging him with attempting to excite Richard Rosier, Esq.,
to commit a breach of the peace, by sending him a challenge
to fight a duel. The defendant sent a letter to the com-
plainant, dated Aug. 13, demanding an explanation of certain
ex-
pressions used towards him, or satisfaction.
Mr. WIRE demanded that the defendant should be bound
over to keep the peace for twelve months, himself in 1001.,
and two sureties in 501. each.
The defendant, in reply, complained that since the letter was
written no notice was taken until the present moment, and
that he though the matter had dropped. He was about to
enter into an explanation of the circumstances connected with
a lady, a member of the complainant's family, which had
caused the letter, when he was stopped by the Bench.
As the defendant was about to be committed to the Compter
for want of bail, two females complained that the Captain had
boarded and lodged at their houses without paying them, but
the Bench declared that the matter was not within their
jurisdiction.
One of the assignees of Merrymans, of Leadenhall-street,
bankrupts, complained that goods had been obtained of their
firm without being paid for; and Messrs. Paul and Co., mer-
cers, stated that the defendant had ordered 180/. and 1201.
worth of cabinet furniture of them, which they did not execute,
he having made the payment dependent upon his marrying
a lady of fortune.
The defendant admitted owing the money, and said that
the debts should be paid when he settled his affairs.
The Bench, as in the former cases, declaring that it had no
London, England, 1838-09-24

jurisdiction in the cases brought forward, committed the Cap-
tain to the Compter for want of bail.

BOW-STREET.
Win. Hodgson and Ellen Hodgson, alias Mary Salmon,
were brought up for re-examination on a charge of endea-
vouring to procure contributions by means of letters contain-
ing fictitious tales of distress.
The prisoners, who declined to say anything, were re-
manded.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
Mr. Bartram, a pawnbroker, Prince's-street, Soho, was
summoned before Mr. CONANT, by Farrant, formerly a police-
man, for not having printed rates of interest placed in a le-
gible form in conspicuous parts of the shop. A woman sup-
ported the information, and proved that in one of the b 01..?%
the printed paper containing the particulars of interest, &c.,
were defaced. .
The assistant said it was the first time Mr. Bartram had
ever sustained a conviction. The informers had tried to
entrap him many times, but had hitherto not succeeded. The
fine being not less than 405., or more than 101., the MAGIS-
TRATE put the lowest penalty, with costs on the defendant.
The money was immediately paid.

made from the Waters of the Montpellier Spas, the pro-
perty of the late Henry Thompson, Esq.
These Salts, which are obtained from the Cheltenham Spa
Waters, by a simple process of evaporation, and contain all their
medicinal qualities, are the only Genuine Cheltenham Salts offered
to the Public,—the numberless articles sold as such, by the Che-
mists and Druggists throughout the Kingdom being merely artifi-
cial imitations of them ; not containing a single particle of Chel-
tenham Salts in their composition. The Proprietors, therefore,
feel called upon to caution their friends against the purchase of
such factitious compounds, under the idea of their being the natu-
ral productions of the Spa Waters, the medical effects of which
they vainly attempt to imitate.
Ihe Real Cheltenham Salts are Seld in Crystalized an Efflo-
resced States, in Bottles, at 2s. 6d., 45., and 9s. each, and may be
had either at the Laboratory or Montpellier Pump Room, Chel-

CRIMINAL COURT-SATURDAY

Richard Williams was capitally indicted for feloniously and
wilfully cutting and wound ng John Potts, with intent to kill
and murler him, or to do him some grievous bodily harm.
The Jury, after a abort consultation, found tae prisoner
Guilty, and he was sentenced to be imprisoned and kept to
hard labour in the House of Correction for one year.
Thomas Smith, a " bone-grubber," was convicted of steal-
ing a child under ten years of age, named William Blizzard,
with intent, by force and fraud, to deprive its parents of the
iaid child.
The Learned JUDGE sentenced the prisoner to be trans-
ported for seven years.
SENTENCES —The sessions having terminated, the Recorder
passed sentence upon a feller number of prisoners than was
ever known at any prior session. He was accompanied by the
Sheriffs (being their last official attendance), Aldermen Har-
mer, Lainson, and other civic authorities.
To be Transported for Ten Years—Mary Smitb, Charles
Eusum, and W. Mason.
For Seven Years—Mary Mahon, Catherine Connor, Win.
Warren, James Abrahams, J. Storey, and Alexander Wilkie.
SESSIONAL. RESULTS.-From some unassigned cause the
judgments were passed upon the prisoners in most cases at
the time of their respective trials, hence at the close of the
sessions the inquiry of relatives and parties in other ways con-
cerned were incessant. The following sentences were passed
instanter :
The Duellists of Wimbledon Common—Sentence of death
recorded against John Young and Henry Webber.
Transported for Fifteen Years—John Cocking, Ann Cock-
ing, Bengamin Buggy, J. Washington Baldree (a judicial
error was committed at the previous session in respect of the
above, they being sentenced to only ten years' banishment),
and A. Armstrong.
For Fourteen Years—W. Hutchinson, alias Clift, and
Lawrence Doyle.
For Ten Years—Ann Hooper, J. Hanam, James Lin-
field, Robert Roots, Maria Mitchell, W. Percy, J. Mitson,

For Seven Years—Jane Akerman, Elizabeth Brown, Chas.
Zugg, Christian Smith, H. Hogg, W. :Stubbs, Hart Taylor,
Charles Hall, Frances Johnson, W. Barrett, S. Polain, J.
Gibbs, and E. Pethard.
Several prisoners were nominally sentenced to a few days'
imprisonment in Newgate, which inferred their discharge af-
ter some of them had been castigated with the " pickled
birch," the cat. o'-nine tails having for a long time ceased to
be on instrument of punishment.
The Court at its rising, adjourned until Monday, the 22d
of October next.

CHANCERY COURT.--(THIS DAY.)

OLDIILM V. 5T01%0101'315.

The LORD CIIANCILLOR gave judgment this morning in this case,
which came before his Lordship upon appeal from the decision of the
Vice-Chancellor. His Lordship after going into the facts of the case,
stated his opinion to be, that the decree of his Honour the Vice-Chan-
cellor was not justified either by that state of the pleadings or the
evidence. If his Lordship had heard the cause originally, he should
have dismissed the bill. The decision of the Vice-Chancellor must
therefore be overruled, and the defendants have the costs.

THE KING V. •THE POORAAW COMMISSIONERS.
In this case a rule for a. writ of certiorari had been obtained last
Term to bring up an order of the Poor.laW Commissioners, dated 29th
of Marsh, 1836, for uniting the districts of SaffrOn-hill and Ely-rents
with the districts of St. Andrew, Holborn above Bar, and St. George
the Martyr.
After .a lengthened argument the Court gave judgment. The ques-
tion here was, whether the parishes of St. George the Martyr, and
St. Andrew Holborn, were Parishes within the meaning of the Poor
Law Amendment Act. •The Court was of opinion they were not, and
decided against granting the Certiorari.

THE ARMY.

The squadrons of cavalry destined for Canada are to be remounted
in that country. Major Biggs, of the 7th 'Hussars, accompanied by a
veterinary surgeon, having received orders to proceed there, and select
such horses as may be required for the. purpose.
The clothing of the Light Infantry regiments serving, or about to
serve,in Canada, is not to undergo any alteration, as reported.
Nei" her the 15th Hussars, 7th Fusileers, not. either battalion of the
Rifle Btigade, are under orders for. America, as stated.
The 82d depot have moved trom Limerick to Nenagh.
The .:Iportotroop,hip is destined to convey out to Halifax some of
thestratight, intended for regitnen4now serving in Canada.
It is now currently reported that the' expedition intended for Canada
will 411-very little short of 10,000 moo.
Had not events in Canada turned out as they have done, we believe

of common glasses ;in short, the qualities of Mr. Solomon's Spec- 3

BAIL COURT-THIS DAY.

(Before Mr. Justice PATTESON.)
Mr. WinturNtax, on behalf of a gentleman named Evans, who was
seeking to be admitted an attorney of this Court, moved that the exa.
miners should be directed to take his'application, though he would not
attain the age of 21 till July next. He (Mr. NV) submitted there was no rule
or order of Court which prohibited a gentleman from being examined
before the age of twenty-one, and still more, that there was no rule
which prohibited him from being, admitted an attorney under that age.
He however prayed that if the Court thought he ought not to be ad-
mitted under the age of twenty-one, that the examinants might with-
hold his certificate.
Mr. Justice PATTESON said that an attorney could not be admitted
before he was of age. There could not be an infant attorney. The
Court could not make a rule to dispense with an ordinary rule, merely
to accommodate this gentleman, .in order that he might be examined.
Mr. Wicturstem remarked that he believed instances had occurred
of gentlemen being admitted under the age of 21.
Mr. Justice Parresox said that it might have occurred by inadver-
tence, but he would not be a party to it. It was quite clear that the ap-
plicant must wait.

COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.

PLUTILL V. DOWSE.
In this case a writ was issued to one Seton, under bailiff of the
Liberty of Peterborough, to sell some goods in an action for debt. Seton
having sold the goods, applied for instructions to the steward of the
Marquis of Exeter, lord paramount of the Franchise of Peterborough,
acting under the directions of the steward. Seton transferred . the
money, the produce of the sale, to the Assignees of the party to whom
the debt was due, he having become bankrupt.
After a lengthy argument, the COURT decided that Seton, having re-
ceived directions respecting the execution of the writ from the confi-
dential agent of the Marquis of Exeter, his Lordship must be considered
as having received the writ, and as being liable to be called on to re.
turn it.

BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.)

Tett SPANIIII SERYICE.—An unfortunate creature, named JVillians
Cantell, was found last night, without a coat, wandering about the
streets in a state of destitution. In answer to the charge, the prisoner
belonged to the parish of St. Martin, and was doing a very good busi.
nese as a sweep until he joined the far-famed British Legion ; but as
he refused to fight without food, he was sent home, and had since been
existing on the bounty of a few humane persons.
Mr. MiNartuLL ordered him to be sent to the workhouse of St. Mar.
tin's parish as a fit object for relief.

This was an action tried before Lord Chief Justice TINDAL,
at Bristol, in which a verdict, subject to a reference as to the
amount of damages, was found for the plaintiff. It was am
action for money had and received, and its object was to try
the validity of a bill of sale executed by the insolvent to the
defendant, as security for the payment of a sum of money lent
to him, in order to enable him to keep an inn called the Cleve-
land Hotel.

Mr. CROWDER showed cause against a rule obtained by Ser-
geant Bompas.
After some argument the COURT proposed that a reference
should be agreed upon ; to which Mr. Crowder consented,
provided he should have time to consult his client, who was at
the time in the country.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR,—My attention has been drawn to an article in a recent
number of your paper, in which it is positively stated, upon the
authority of Mr. D. Hill and Mr. C. Pearson, that the Stand-
ing Order of the House of Commons, requiring a deposit of
ten per cent. of the amount of the subscription list of Railway
Companies previous to the Report on the Petition, dces not
extend to Irish undertakings of this kind. It is not without
diffidence that I presume to give an opinion in a case in which
a barrister and solicitor of acknowledged ability and consider-
able experience have already declared themselves; neverthe-
less, as the question is important, I venture to observe
t I
feel it would be a hazardous course for the promoters o: in
Irish Railway to resolve to apply for a Bill during the present
Session, without complying with the Standing Order under
discussion. That Order, be it observed, sets out by embracing
ALL deeds of contract : it is one of a series. applying to Al
Railway and other Private Bills, and whenever ae Irish Bill
in that series is excepted from their general operation, the
exception is particularly specified—as in the instant 4if notices_
proved by affidavit. Now no exception is made inlravour of
Irish Railway Bills as to the point of deposits, and I believe,
moreover, that no exception was intended. If I sea right as
to this last point, there is an end of the dispute, for those
who framed the Standing Orders are this Session f:;c
pointed judges to decide whether they have been coalidieu
with or not. The real state oftthe case I look upon as this
When the Standing Order was framed, the Scotch Metn')erst
who are i%markable for never overlooking a single poi,:t that
can accommodate or serve Scotland or the Scottish, tuck care to
provide that it should not be necessary for their constitwalts
send up their money to lie in the Bank of England, but that it
should suffice to place it in their National Banking Establish-
ments, supposing the parties not to choose to invest i in the
the Funds, Exchequer Bills, &c. The Irish Members were
not so attentive—the Bank of Ireland was not int:lA.lmA as a
deposit bank for the purpose in question, p.nd I do not hesi-
tate to say that the promoters of Irish Railways Lrannot,
under the Standing Order, bring in their Bill without a de-
posit of the ten per cost., the more particurrly as the Irish
funds are open to theca und:r the Standirg Order, though an
Irish Bank is not. —I am, Sir,

BAIL COURT-(TIIIS DAY).

Mr. BALL, who a few days ago obtained a rule for the readmission of
a gentleman named Haynes, as an attorney, said that, on investigation
at the Rule-office it was found that although a copy of the affidavit had
been left with the Master it had not been left with the Judge's Clerk.
The object of filing the affidavit with the letter was that it might be
handed over to the Law Society, in order that the name of the party
might appear on the list. The name of the applicant had been on the
list, and his (Mr. Ball's) application was that the affidavit might now
be allowed to be filed.
Mr. Justice PArrrsoN did not know what business any man, who
wished to be readmitted an attorney, had to tal:e the object of the rule
into consideration, when the rule directed a certain thing to be done.
It was surprising that people should be so obstinate as not to attend to
the directions given, and some limit must shortly be set to such pro-
ceedings. In the present instance, the application was granted.
STRIKING OFF AN ATTORNEY.

Mr. OGLE moved to make a rule absolute against an attorney named
James Wright, for having practised during the period when he was in
prison, contrary to the 12th Geo. 11., c. 13. The rule was obtained
about ten days before the end of last Term, but the Judge thinking it
a matter of importance, and that affidavits might be required on the
other side, it was not drawn up until the second day of the present
Term. Mr. Wright was now a prisoner in the Queen's Ilendi, and as
that was the case, perhaps his Lordship might wish the matter to stand
until the end of Term.
Mr. Justice PAMSON did not see why it should, and made the rule
absolute.
