it 14 a remarkable circumstance, -that-On the
.gter the King's sPeech in France, the funds
of that country,. which were expected to continue
falling, suddenly rose one and a half per cent.
We should have been at a loss to assign a reason
far so unexpected a change, but we are spared
the pain of conjecture by. adopting, if we, like,
that which was given at the time—namely, the
occurrence of something by which war was
rendered less probable. The sound of peace is
agreeable,tio doubt ; but if it were to be purchased
by the surrender of Spanish independence to such
a man as the old Vrench Bourbon has shown him-
self to. be, Were we Spaniards, we would sooner
see. the country, from one end to the other, overrun
by the crtmch military. To accept from the hand
of Louis XVI il.sucha creature as Ferdinand Vll.
in the character of an absolute Monarch, in order
that thislatter worthy may give his subjects a free
Constitution !!! would be such a process in
'politics and legislation as was never before gone
through by any nation, civilized or uncivilized.

say' .ir war,"" rather than the submission of the
vhdle Spunish nation to terms like these : we
should say 44 war," rather than submission to any
foreign dictition whatever, The Neapolitans

A foreign army to maintain, and a name con-
temptible, beyond all power of description,
throughout Europe. And then as to any
change on the part of the Bourbons, which was
not evela alleged as the cause for the rise of the
French funds, we wish that family to change
indeed but it is nothing less than a change of
mane* that can secure their own happiness, and
the peace of Europe on a basis of rational liber-
ty. will repeat the notable expression of

['MORN! NG POST.)
0 received last night, by Express, French
Journuls to the 3Oth ult. The. only fact of. im-
portance which they FlllllOllllCe is an unexpected
rise in the Funds, for which they assign no rea-
son. Private letters of the same date supply the
deficiency, and attribute that symptom of reviv.
Int; confidence to various reports of a pacific na-
ture which prevailed in the French capital., One
of these asserted that the British Ambassador at
Aladrid had intlnced the Cortes not to issue a,
Declaration of Wur, notwithstanding the me-

'flues and preparations of France, but to as.
. sumo a tone of conciliation and to leave it to
,ti►at Power to, undertake the responsibility
_

of. commencing a perilous and in!quitous con.
test. Other.rumours stated:the' tan official assur.
ance had been received from the •British Go-
:vernment, that England would maintain a strict
neutrality. Thu Papers, however, are silent on
both these reports, and instead of attempting to
revive hopes of peace, detail fresh arrangements
‘which spew that the preparations for immediate
war continue without. interruption. The Quoit.
die.nne confidently says—" We shall have three
armies in Spain. That which bears the name of the
army of the Eastern Pyreneesor of Catalonia,will
he placed under the orders or the Duke of Ragusa.
IVlarshal-Oudinot, Duke of Reggio, will command

the arm y of the centre' in A rraion ; and the army
4af the Western Pyrenees, or of Navarre, will be

'under Lieutenant-General Comte do Lauriston.
The Duke of Angonletne will hare the supreme
eotnmand over these three. artnies4. and the Mini-
ster at War (the Duke of IleHutto). will discharge
the functions of .Major:Penefal under that
Prince. It Is added,; .that 'Cre."Ceetlognet
be made Under Secretary of State,aud will
hold the war portfolio during the_ absence of the
'Duke of Beiluno."—These arrangements are too
minutely detailed and' too probable in themselves
to be. the mere offspring of rumour or imagi.
oatiou.

',MORNING Cli RON ICLE
We received the Paris Papers of Wednesday,
last night by express. The accounts of the
Goeks are more and more cheering every day.
'Letters from various quarters represent their pro.
spects as' very favourable indeed. Even when a
aumercus Turkish army happens to gain any
success, no advantage can be derived from it.—
" -As the whole population is armed, it is said
in a letter from Tine, in the Journal des Db.
oats, even in the remotest mountain districts,
'the Turks will never be masters of more
'ground than they stand on."' We have here
another cheering example of what can be done
by a people when actuated by a feeling of hide.
pendence. The Greeks have in this struggle
acquired immortal renown ; and a future Hero.
dotds and Thucydides will convey the remem-
brance of their deeds to a grateful posterity. We
104-ro from the lonian Islands that, the haughty
contempt which was at first manifested for
'Ott Greeks, has now given place to very
different feelings.. The constancy, the skit.
ful combinations, the daring valour displayed by
'thes'e men who have had to struggle against such
feerful odds, and :under 'so many disadvan•
urges, may well excite admiration. It is now,
discovered that they have' inherited along with
the fine form of their ancestors alt their inventive
pining and active eneerprise, and that opportu•
very is only wanted for 'the development of
:them. Even the 4ustrian Pbserver is forced
to. respect their exertions.

[MORNING. lIERALD.3
Private accounts, and some Journals of Wed.
.t fide date, were received yesterday from
-Pith, The Papers which have as clamorously
*Ott as it has turned 'out, so sttccessfully
called
for vox', state detail. of the movements of troops
-from 'various. pointi upon the frontier. The
4ngouletne has not yet set oat, but
woula start is a day or two. He acts as Ge-

Oeralissimo under the direction (if it be not a
solecism in language) of the Marquis de la
Tour-Maubourg, Minister of the King's House-
hold, and lately Minister of War. M. Mao*
Bourg is a veteran officer of reputation, and was,
we believe, some time Buonaparte's Ambassador
at the Court of Russia. The other Generals named
are of inferior note, either wholly or nearly un.
known in the recent military history of Europe.
None of the Marshals appear to be employed.—
It is singular that some private letters from Paris
still talk of peace, and even of the countermand-
ing some regiments on march. In any other case
this would be the height of absurdity ; but where
shifting and changing through every variety of
aspect has been the mode, the prodigy would be
to find either consistency or reason. In any
other case we should think war as certain as if
the Pyrenees had been crossed. It would appear
that even the French Ultras and the Cossacks
think " the Regency" too bad. A new one is to
be got up, which, says one of the Papers, " is to
proceed into Catalonia before the French army."
There is surely a slight mistake in this, and it
should be " after the French army."
[lsm limes.]
We repeat ottr confident persuasion that there
is no ground for apprehension in regard to our
funds. The nation at large is too sensible of the
benefits of neutrality not to adhere steadily to
that policy. The rage and fury of the liberal
Papers. is no doubt meant to plunge us' nto a
war with France; but it defeats itself by its
extravagance. Every man of sense or decency
must be disgusted at the vulgar abuse heap-
ed on the French Monarch in yesterday's
Morning Chroniele.,We shell not repeat the loath-
some virulence. Coming from such a quarter,
it is perhaps the best testimony in favour of
the measure adopted by France. It shews
the rooted malignity of the liberal faction against
the Throne'of kiranci: and it shows that that
malignity is likely to be frustrated by the
war. For our own parts, looking to the
total want of • means on the part of the
Spanish Jacobins to carry on a war, we
should not be. surprised to see them abandon
the contest before it is well begun. The
French Funds rose on Wednesday to nearly 79
for Account ; and one great cause of this was a
rumour that the British Minister et Madrid had
prevailed on the revolutionary Government to
adopt more moderate Councils. Most earnestly
do we hope for such a termination to the present
unhappy differences. We do not wish, and never
have wished, to see a French army enter Spain ;
but it is perfectly absurd to suppose that any
thing short of the submission or flight of
the Jacobin Leaders there can prevent in-
vasion. The French Papers are full of the
movements of troops towards the South. A
Gentielnan who reached London yesterday in.
formed us that he met several regiments between
Paris and Calais, all advancing in the highest
virits, with songs, shouts, and evident maim.

pect from the present French army another
itebetiion of the Ilundred Days, are totally ig-
norant of the spitit by which it is animated.

DIRITISU MEM)
Some of our contemporaries are extremely
anxious to obtain credit fer the gift of prophecy,
and the. less real sagacity they possess, the more
outrageously importunate they are. to be ranked
among the sons of the prophets, if but an equle
vocal expression of theirs can be adapted- to the
events which they would fain have predicted.—,
The efforts of CObbett and the Courier) in this
humble way, are as notorious as they are con-
temptible. We pretend not to the gift of pro.
phecy ; our means of acquiring and communi.
eating the course of human affairs are altogether
natural and common to mortality. Rut as we
are assiduous in learning, so we are unreserved in
communicating whatever it may concern our
readers to know and it is our business to state
for their information. Among the duties' of a
daily journal none holds a higher rank, or re-
quires a more cautious exercise of attention and
judgment than the duty of forming a just opinion
upon the relations of foreign states,' which are
likely to result from their dispositions and inte-
rests. To form a just opinion upon this extensive
and complicated subject, has been, from the first
movement, of this journal under its present aus.
picos, peculiarly difficult, yet incomparably im-
portent..The course to be adopted by allied Sove-
reigns,entrenched behind the accumulated abuses
of neglected time, tyrannical pow er,obstinateigno.
ranee, and infatuated pride—against nations exert-
ing the rights of nature, and Pre-eminently of than--
it appeared almost impossible to ascertain. All our
contemporaries, without one exception, confidently
and repeatedly proclaimed their conviction that
it would be. war,* that the conflict would be
the conflict of arms, and that France would
make war against Spain. Uniformly have we,
alone, whether the. merit be due to our honesty
or to our sagacity let our readers judge, but we'
have uniformly avowed our ietled belief, that war;
would not be the result of all the loud threats
and insolent swaggering of selNidored idiots, who
partake of' humanity only to be its curse. The
dark solemnities of the Journal des Abbots, the,
mysterious permission of Cs:ingress to France, the:
unmanly and jesuitical note of M. Villele, the in.
tricate expression "of unidead arrogance exhibited
in the circular of Verona, and the garrulous im-
potence of the superannuated King of France,
we have never' failed to treat as the unequivocal
language of enraged hnhecility, as remote from
the vigour Of war as from the composure of peace.
The Editor of the British Press says, that " all his con.
•
, temporaries, without one exception, confidently and repeatedly
proclaimed their conviction that it would be war." The Editor
of the on the other hand, said list Thursday, " while
all our contemporaries were either declaring their opinion that'

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF. CHANCERY, JAN. 31.

PRACTICE or THE COURT.— IN THE CASE pr BATEMAN
AND ANOTHER.

Mr. SPENCZ said that he had a motion to make which at- I
fected the practice of the Court. It was usual in the service
of process in the County Palatine of Lancaster to apply to the
Chancellor of the Dutchy, who thereupon issued his mandate
to the Sheriff, and the Sheriff making his return to the Chan-
cellor of the Duchy, the latter officer returned to the Court._
This process, to make it of similar efficacy with writs served in
other counties, was generally accompanied with a concurrent
order to the Sheriff' to compel a speedy return. This was the
custom in common law, and he wished to have the same con.
current and peremptory order to aid the service of process
which was to issue from this Court.
The LORD CHANCELLOR thought that it was impossible
for him to grant an order to compel the Sheriff, before knowing
of any neglect on the part of that officer. If it could he shown
that the order asked was consistent with the policy of the
Court, he could have no objection to grant it. lie would thank
Mr. Spence to make some nquiry on the subject, and inform
him of the result. At present he could not grant the appli.
cation..

IN TIIE MATTER or rARQUARSON V. BALFOUR.
Mr. Haar, for tindafendant, prayed that the plaintift*
might be prevented Continuing to issue proceedings upon
his bill, until); certain exceptions to the.MasWr's report on the
answer shodd be argued. It appeared that there had been
a bill filed. to discover books and accounts by which the
plaintiff hoped- to show the purchase of an estate in the West
Indies, which had been afterwards disposed of to another per.
son, and also the payment of 1,5001. which the plaintiff al-
ledged that he had The
into the possession of the defendant,
by way of deposit. Tile ticcounts asked for were in the West
Indies, anti the defettitent had no sufficient uteattefox:ssattakty
big with the desires of tha plaintiff, who, nevertheless, urg
forward his suit without waiting to have the exceptions before.
mentioned argued.
• Mr. AGAII charged the behaviour of the defendant as being
highly contumacious to the authority of the Court. He had
put in four answers,. which were each in turn reported by the
Matter to be insufficnint, and instead of mending them he chose
to litigate the report itself. He (Mr. Agar) apprehended that
the Court would not allow such trifling with its jurisdiction on
the part of any defendant.
The LORD CIIANCELLOR would not undertake to say that
the defendant had done wrong, because the exceptions might
be quite enough, on hearing, to justify the course which he had
taken. His Lordship would see Master Cox before the sitting
of the Court on the morrow, and have some conversation with
him about it ; after which he would be better able to judge of
,what had been done.

• . VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, Jaw. 31.
PENNINGTON V. AJ.DEN AND ANOTHER.
Mr. ROUPELI. moved on behalf of the defendant that the
plaintiffmight be directed to amend her bill, by striking out
the name of Joseph Lowe, her next friend, and substituting
some competent person in his stead. This was a suit instituted
by the plaintiff, Mrs. Pennington, against her husband, and
her brother, Mr. Alden, to compel the continuance of an allow.
anec to herself and children, fly their support. The plaintiff,
It appeared, had parted from her husband, in consequence of
differences between them, and a certain sum had been allowed
her and the children, amounting to about 3001. per annum t
ultimately a deed was executed, under which Mr. Alden, the
defendant, agreed to become hound to indemnify the husband
against the debts of the wife, but did not undertake to make
any allowance for the support of this lady. Sonic time after
the separation from her -husband, Mrs. Pennington (and the
Learned Counsel had now no difficulty in declaring • the
fact) lived with Mr. Lowe, her present prochein aniic. An
action of damages was brought by the husband against Mr.
Lowe, and 250/. was recovered. Mr. Lowe had since applied
fur his discharge under the Insolvent Act, and being op-
posed with effect, was ordered by the Court to be confined
for Li months. lie was now.in prison, and had made an af-
fidavit, swearing that he was not worth a shilling. The In.
solvent Court, in consequence, had directed the husband to
allow hint sixpence aalay for his support. Thus it appeared,
that the next friend had been reduced to hewn, and was
wholly unable to fulfil his engagements, under which his situa-
tion placed him of being responsible for the costs of the suit now
instituted to compel Mr. Alden to continue the allowance.—
The children hall been censored from the custody of the mo-
ther, and were sepatately maintained. Under these circum.
et..........., 44. ut00.., 40;410.4.4.........5. a&tat AI -n*w. next .frign4
might be appointed.
The Vic e.(3ii AV CE et.nn thought, the better form of the
motion would have been to stay all proceedings in the suit, un.
til a new next friend was named. Although it was in the
power of the Court to remove the next friend, yet it could not
compel the appointment of another. This he conceived to be
a mere dry question of practice, in which the merits of the case
would have no weight either way.
Mr. ROOPELL WAS aware of the distinction between the
proeliein gunk of an infant, and of afeme covert, but he con-
ceived as a prochein atnic could not sue in forma pauperh, the
Court would interfere to
_prevent a beggar continuing next
friend. Although the authorities were few on this question,
yet all the books agreed, that a next friend must be a man of
substance and respqnaibility. lie cited two cases from More.
ley's Rsports, p. 110 and 47, in the latter of which a new next
friend was actually appointed.
Mr. COWE, on the other side, cited the case of Squirrel v.
Squirrel, in Dickinee Reports, p. 705, to show the opinion of

71iFteVrcE-CiraNcEt.r.ott thought the question of far too
much importance to decide without looking over the cases,
and consulting with the Lord Chancellor and the Master of the

VIII HYDE PARKER V. MARTIN.
This was an application by Mr. HEALD on behalf of Lady
Parker, the mother and guardian of Miss Fanny Parker, and
other infants, that she might be at liberty to attend the pro.
teedings, as f she were a codefendant, and also to attend cer.
tofu references to the Master? in which he had been directed to
inquire into the nature and circumstances of a debt of 41,0001.
out-standing, and due to the estate of the late Sir Hyde Parker.
Mr. HooleE on theother side objected, that no motion could
be made by this lady, she being no party in the cause.
Mr. IIEALD represented the pressing nature of the case, that
one of the infants would next month be of age, and he was de.
sirous that no technical objection should defeat the just objects
of the parties.
The 'VicE.CiraivEELLan said, that a petition ought to be

themselves. He could not now listen to this application in its
present shape. When a petition was presented, he would hear
it as soon as an order for munediate hearing was obtained tivm
the Lord Chancellor.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JAN. 31.
THE I;.ING v. °SALMON.

Mr. CAMPBELL moved for a writ of certiorari to remove an
indictment for perjury from the Old Bailey into this Court.--
The- defendant wive te highly reepectable merchant In the city,
who was charged with perjury in an affidavit of debt made iti
the Lord Mayor's Court to ground an attachment. The affidavit
stated the debt as arising- on a large difference on the sale of
Spanish stook ; and the defendant, in support of hispresent
application, swore that he believed nice questions of law might
arise on the trial, and that it Wait very important to his interests
to have the cause tried by a special jury.
Mr. Justice HOLUOYD, who was the only Judge then in
Court, granted the writ.
Mr. F. POLLOCX moved that a defendant, against whom a true
bill had been found for receiving stolen goods, should be brought
i
up and admitted to bail. lie was orginally charged with re.
calving one nil skin, and four calf skins. and taken before a
.Magistrate I blithe produced the man from whop) he purchased
the skins, add was set at liberty on finding sureties to answer
any charge which might be preferred .against him at the See.
eons. At the Sessions he appeared, but no bill was preferred
against him, and his recognisance* were discharged. After
this, a bill had been preferred at the Sessions and found by the
Grand Jury, on which be was arrested and committed to pri.
son. His original statement of the mode in which he obtained
the• shins was now corroborated by the affidavits of several re.
spectsble witnesses.
Mr. Justice iloLanyn granted the motion.
IBTIMATIOB TO THE BAR.
Soon after the sitting of the full Court, the Loan .OMP
jus;reele said, that as it was of high importance toile public
and to the suitors in the .particular causes in which rules nisi
for new trials had been 'minted, that those rules should be dis.

They therefore requested that the junioni in each case would not
offer to address them after their leader had . been heerdi unless
they felt thithe.had Miami to notice some important fact or
some material argument which ought to be presented to the
attention of the Court. They did not mean to lay down a right
ode that they would beer only nee COnnisel on each aide, which
might be productive of inconveniencey'biet they trusted to the
discretion of the bar quo occupy ghat film* by gang severnlir

*rough the whole ease white it was not absolutely necessary 1
to the interest of their clients.
The ease of Hollis v. Goldfinch, which stood next in the new
trial_paper, was then called on. It was an action of trespass for
breaking and entering a close, which was tried before Mr.
Justice Park at the last Hampshire Assizes, and involved no
point of interest to the public.
Mr. OASELEE now showed cause against the rule for a new
trial in a speech which lasted nearly three hours. As soon us
he had concluded,
Mr. SELWYN rose and said, I am on the same side with Mr.
Gaselee, but in conformity with that rule which your Lordships
have this day laid down, I refrain from adding any observations
to those Which you have already heard. But in the peculiar
situation in which I stand, as the first victim of this regulation,
I feel it due to myself and to those who surround me to say,
that I trust this regulation will cease with the occasion which
has caused it, and will not be applied at all times and to all
Cans.

Tile LORD CHIEF JUSTICE...-. I am very much surprised
that such an observation should be made. The Court has laid
down no regulation, nor has it placed any one in the situation
of a victim : it has only thrown out an intimation, which the
great press of business and the public interest seem absolutely
to require.
Mr. SELWYN.—I felt it my duty to make the remark which
I have made, because I will never have it said that I surren-
dered the rights of my profession.
The LORD CHIEY JUSTICE (attempting to interpose).—
There are no rights in question.
Mr. SELWYN (continuing).—lt shall never be said that I,
situated as lam to-day, expressed no dissent from a regulation,
which, if permanently adopted, would make a desert of these
benches, and would deprive the juniors of the bar of those op.
portunities of addressing the Court which may give them ex-
perience and a just confidence in their powers, and may qualify
them in due time to become leaders of causes.
The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE.—I AIR very much concerned
that such a remark should be made, and I am sure it is not called
for by any act on the part of the Judges. The intimation is not
new. Long before the time when I first had the honour to sit
here, a similar notice was more strongly given, , and was ~.01ftuidasunalat .

that can be urged by the Gentlemen of the Bar • and know
that their observations are not only calculated to benefit them.
selves, but to serve their clients, and inform the judgment of
the Court ; and it is with great pain that I refrain from hearing
them at length. We do not mean to say, that we will hear
only one Counsel even now, but we put it to the Gentlemen of
the Bar, whether, in the present state of public business, they
will occupy the time of the Court with a repetition of argu.
ments already presented to its attention.
Mr. SE LWY N.—i trust that I have made the remark which
I felt bound to offer, with all the respect which is due to the
Court.

The LOUD CHIEF Jt:STICE.—Why the word " victim"
might have been omitted.
Mr. ScAnLETT rose and said, that he well remembered the
case to which his Lordslaip had alluded. It occurred in the
time of Lord Ellenborough, when there was an armar of rules
for new trials, when the rule of hearing only one Counsel on
each shle was laid down and rigidly acted on, but it was under.
stood that it would not be permanent.
Mr. Law Es, on the same side with Mr. Selwyn, made a few
observations on a part of the case which he thought had been
misunderstood.

Mr. P. Wit.t.taNts rose to argue in support of the rule for a
new trial, but was informed that the Court would not trouble
him.

The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE proceeded to give judgment in
favour of the application for a new trial. After observing that
the case had been argued with great ability by Mr. (laselee, he
said,—" And here I cannot go on without observing that we
are always—for myself I say it most conscientiously—desirous
of hearing every thing which gentlemen of the bar think ran
be beneficial to their clients. But when a case has been
thoroughly sifted, as this has been—when it has been pre-
sented to us in all its aspects and bearings—we think there
would bo no advantage in consuming the public time by hear-
ing
those arguments which great research, great ingenuity, and
great learning, would have presented to us, had the other
Learned Counsel bsen heard.' His Lordship then proceeded,
at considerable length, to give his reasons for thinking that
there ought to be a new trial.
Mr. Justice BAYI.E r, in commencing his judgment, !thick
he gave at length in the same case, observed, that he Witssurs
the rule which the Court had, with great pain, been compelled
by the pressure of business to lay down, would not in the least
injure the intercom of clients of Mr. (lattice, who had pre-
sented to the Court every topic which could fairly be urged in
their favour.

accordingly made absolute.

COURT OP COMMON PLEAS, JAN. M.

CASSOM Mtn WIFE v. Towratxr.
This was an action to recover damages for an injury sustain-
ed by the plaintiff's wife by the alleged negligence of the de.
fendant.

Mr. Sergeant PELL stated the case to the JuvyThe de.
fendant keeps a shop next the Globe Term, in Fle.—et.sireet.—
The plaintiff is a poor weaver: his wife was generally employed
as a charwoman. On the 21st of December, 1821, she was
passing by the plaintiff"' shop it was about- eight in the
evening. A sun-blind, which had been fastened up in a box
over the window, fell and hurt her leg very severely. She was
at that time in a state of pregnancy, but in a few days after_
owing to the injury and the fright, she missearried, and had
not been well ever since.

These facia were proved by Mary Hyam, who was in cote.
piny with Mrs. Cassom at the time.
This witness was cross-examined at some length, for the pur-
pose of showinf, first, that the injury was not such as was coin.
plained of, an secondly, that ft arose from the tempestuous
state of the weather, and not from the negligence of the de-
fendant. Nothing of importance, however, was elicited from
her. She Admitted that Bits. Cancan had told her that ti
Gentleman had called to see her on the part of the defendant,
to inquire into the state of her leg. Some offer of compensa-
tion, as she understood, had also been made.
For the defendant Mr. Sergeant VAUGHAS contended, that
the injury complained of was not caused by the fall of the blind,
and secondly, that the fall was not owing to any n-viimee on
the part of the defendant. To prove this, he called the watch.
man, who was near the spot whenthe blind fell ; the
defendant's shopman, who went out when he heard the noise;
the surgeon who attended Mrs. Cassom, by orders of Mr. Fon.
faille.; and one or two others who had spoken to Mrs. CllllOlll
on the subject of this accident. The sum of the testimony
given by- these witnesses was, that it was about 10 o'clock when
the accident happened; that It was a very tempestuous night,
the woman complained of the blind being left thus, in a careless
' state, but walked away apparantly unhurt; that she afterwards
complained not of her leg, but her shoulder; that the blind
had been in a sound condition
,before this, and that when the
surgeon visited Mrs. Cassom, which wag some time after, she,
was nursing, and did not appear to have recently miscarried—
On the cross-examination of one of those witnesses, it appeared
that a sum of 101. and. Coots had been offered to the plaintiff,
but was refused.
Mr. Sernt PELL replied, and after bearing the summing
up of the Learned Judge, the Jury retired fora bout 20 minute*,
and returned a Yalliet for the pltitr.—Dautages,

PALACE COURT, !Tau. 31.
110ELBROOKE v. GRAY.
Mr. MANGLES stated the case. It was an action brought
by the plaintiff against the defendant, to recover she sum of
42/. 3s. 3d. for various articles of silk, &c. supplied to the de-
fendant, Mrs. Gray, alias Court. In October last, a bill drawn
by the plaintiff was accepted by a Mr. Smythe for 421. and up-
wards, made payable at Messrs. Conn*, but which was not paid,
there being no cam.
Witnesses were celled, from whose evidence it appeared that
the defendant lived at No. 33, Thornhaugh-street, where the
plaintiff, who was an Itinerant vender, furnished her with the
articles in question, for the amount of which he subsequently
took Mr. Smythe's bill.
M. THESSSOER, for the defendant, contended, that in the
first place Haulbrooke had adopted the credit of Smythe in-
stead- of Gray ; and secondly, with respect to the situation in
life of the defendant, it was perfectly clear the plaintiff felt sa-
tisfied with the credit of Smythe. An itinerant vender, besides
going into haunts of wretchedness, in order to captivate the
minds at the expeuce of the chastity of females,
ought to IN
ceive nothing at the hands of the Jury.
Mr. Aloniticr, Judge of the Court, summed up the evi.
dence, and observed, that persons lending themselves to aid and
support others, living in a profligate manner, could never re.
cover in a Court of Justice. The plaintiff in this case hati na
shop, but was in the habit of supplying houses of Ile fame and
consequently there ought to be an end put to it, by a verdict
being given for the defendant.
The Jury consulted together for a few minutes, and then re.
ulrnsid their verdict fee the defondot,
