fwst election has never been heard,. and > tuore
especially as it has been asserted that the last was I
made by the direction and order of the Lord Chan-

Before the long vacation Lord Eldon publicly
letiared that he would request two of the Chiefs

;:the Petition was heard.
Sometime afterwards. the Counsel for the gen-
lienia4 in possession waited
,upon the Chancellor
privately, and requested that the hearing of the
;petition Might stand
,over the long vacation,. as,
that might spire some °trouble, for he intended to
make a .preliminary. argument, which, if well
,founded, would; preclude :the
.discnssion of the
:Objections. contained in-the petition. The Char-

to rob the waggon. The Waggoner struck him

the ro6hery o the Bright6iii'Srage-coach, on the
sth of -February last, when mites, to the .ainount
of i.vkire stolen from. it. The present ap-
plication was fonded on the affidavits of Birkett,
his tither and Mother, and a friend. In his oWn
affidavit, lie declared his innocence, and
stated, that, .in the month of _March, a short tiMe
atter the formnizision of the robbery, he heard that
some suspiciOn attached to him, and his
friends reproached hint with' his supposed mis-
conduct. For the purpose of repelling the chaiv,
he went to the ~Blossom* Jan, from whence. the
coach set out, and, in company with two friends,
entered into conversation 'with the man 'who
drove; the coach, when it was rOblied, whom he
"requested to take a particular ohservation•of his,
,perlon,
,and then demanded whether he had any
recollection of him, to which the coachman Made
answer; that he had not—and that, to the best of
his, knowledge, he had never seen him before.—
He .then wrote to :Sir 3. Pinhorn, -at whose
banking-house part of the.notes were payable,
and also to Mr. Gifford, the Magistrate, stating,
that, he was ready to surrender himself, and
give-bail, for his appearance to take his trial at
the Maidstone Assizes then nekt ensuing. He
went to that town, hut no bill of indietnient was
then preferred against hhn. Things remained in
this state till 6:Tie:rubel. last,- when, after sever .l
examinations:, he was Committed , no evidence
being adduced against him, except that of a pear
son connected with tht.. Maidstone Bank, who de-
posed) that the day after the robbery, a man,
whom hwhelieved to be Birkett, presented a 501.
. note .ovbieli was clearly traced to have beep, taken
frOin'the Coach), and \vented Maidstone notes in
exchange for it. Birkett, however, -swore,' that
he was- at borne on the sth of February ; and his
father and mother depoSed, that he did not leave
his house till after tweit-e o'clock that morning ;
so tbat, the Brighton Coach, which set out at
,seveu o'clock, must have been far advanced on
its way front London, to its place of destina-
tiOn. FrOni his house, it is sworn, he Went to a
friend at Hoxton, and conversed-with him -about
some-fish, which he was scn:ling to his sister
and his aiiidayit, on this point, was borne out by
that of his friend. From the whole it appeared,
that he was at home till twelve o'clock on the
morning of the sth—from. that be went to a friend
at Hoxton, a great distance from his own.resi-
(fence, which was, in:Bethnal-green—and return-
ed home on the evening of the fith. • On the exa- •
mination of Birkett, . the. pr.osecutors: -declined

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.—Nov. 6.

WEISS v. SIR W. STERLING BART.

Mr. Serjeant SHEPHERD in this case moved for
a. rule to shew cause why the verdict given against
defendant should not be set aside, and new trill
granted. The case was tried .at the Sittings before
Trinity Term, by Sir V. Gibbs. The Learned
Serjeant said, 'he made his motion, not on -the
gronnd of the verdict being against evidence, but
on account of the weight of the evidence being
in favour of the defendant. The action was
brought to recover the sum of 701. alleged to
have been paid into the house of defendant, who
is a most respectable banker, in the Strand,
by an, agent of plaintiff. The contrary of
which allegation was contended by defendant.—
It. appeared - from the stntemeut upon the part
of plaintiff, that he sent a porter on the 19th
of September, 1811, to the house of defendant,
with 701. giving him directions to pay it in there
on the account of a gentleman named Hares, to
whom, plaintiff was indebted in that sum. The
porter returned to hint and declared, that he had
discharged his mission. Plaintiff, in consequence,
informed Mr. Hares of the. circumstance. Mr.
Hares, however, waited upon him in a few days,
and sitid, that defendant had declared himself per-
fectly ignorant of the receipt of any such sum on
his account. Recourse was then had to,the.por
ter, who persisted in his original statement of hay-
ing paid in the cash, and, accompanied by Mr.
Hares and plaintiff, went to the house of. de-

still proceeded, and arrived at the very high- and

to pieces. Still dragging the carriage after thent,
they galloped with the utmost speed across the
