In this action for debt a verdict was taken for the plaintiff,
subject to a nonsiit, upon a special case, by agreement. Sub-
sequently to the trial, the defendant became bankrupt, and the
plaintiff declined to proceed.
51r. WATSON, for the defendant, now moved for a rule,
calling on the plaintiff to show cause why a verdict should not
be entered tor the defendant. Hii object was to have the
special ca..,e argued, and put an end to the cause. The argu-

COLTER'S ADVENTURE.
The following singular adventure of a man named
John Colter, is taken from Mr. Bradbury's Travels in
the Interior of North America.
Colter came to St. Louis in May, 1810, in a sma,
canoe, from the headwaters of the Missouri, a distance
of 300 miles, which he traversed in thirty days. I sew
him on his arrival, and ieceived from him en aecount of
his adventures, after he had separated from Lewis aryl
Clark's party. I shall relete one anecdote for its sin-
rularity. Uu the arrivel of the party at the head-
waters of the Missouri, Colter observing an appearance
of abundance of heaver being there, got permission to
remain and hunt for some time, which he did in company
with a man of tie name of Dixon, whn had traversed
the immense tract of country, from St. Louis to the
heed-waters of the Missouri alone. Soon after, he
separated from Dixon, and trapped in company with a
hunter named Potts; and, aware of the hostility of the
Blackfoot Indians, one of whom hail been killed by
Lewis, they set their traps at night, and took them up
eatly in the morning, remaining concealed doring the
day. They were examining their trape•early one morn-
ing, in a creek about six miles from that branch of the
Missouri, called Jefferson Fork, and were ascending in
a eitnne, when they suddenly heard a greet noise, re-
sembling the trampling of animal-, ; but thee could not
ascertain the fact, as the high perpendicular banks on
each side oft he river impeded their view. Coiter pro-
nounced it to be occasioned by Indians, and advised an
instant retreat, but was accused of cowardice by Potts
who insisted that the noise was caused by buffeleet ;
and they proceeded on. In a few minutes afterwards
their doubts were removed, by a p irty of Indians
linking their appearance ou both sides of the ere •Its tb
the amount of five or six hundred, who beetteme t them
to come ashore. As rct-eat was tObvimpossibk, C titer
turned the head of the canoe ; and, at the moment of
its touching, an Indian seized the rifle belonging to
Potts ; bet Colter, who is a remarkably strong glen;
immediately retook it, and hareled it to Putts) AO re-
mained in the ca ioe, and, on receiving it, pushed off
into the river. He had scarcely quitted the shore,
when an a-row was sh tat fern, anti he cried out,
" Colter, lam wounded I" Coster remonstrated with
him on the folly of attempting to escape, and urged
hint to corn, ashore. Instead of complying, he in•
stantly let e led his rifle at the bonen, and ram hitn deed
on the spot. Tnis conduct. situ 'tea its be was, may
spoor to have been an net of madness, but it wits
doubtle s the effect of sudden but sound reasoning ;
for, if taken alive, he must have expected to be tortured
to de th, according to their custom. He was instantly
pierced with arrows so numerous, tha.,,t to use Coltee's
words, "he was wade a riddle al," Timey now seized
Colter, stripped hint entirely naked, and b •gan to consult
on the manner in which he should be put to death.
They were at fi-st inclined to set him up as a mark to
shoot at, but the chief
:tcterfered. and seizing him by
the shoulder, asise.
Pi him it he could run fast ? Colter,
who hid been some time amongst the Kee-ketso, or
Crow rendiaits, had in a considerable degree acquired
tee Bet-dam language, end was also well acqueinted
with Emit in customs ; he knew teat he had now to run
for his life, with the dreadful odds of five or six hun-
dred against him, and those armed Indians ; he there-
fore cunningly replied that he was a very bad runner,
although he was considered by the hunters as remark-
ably swift. The chief now commanded tee party to re-
main stationary, aed led Colter out on the prairie about
three or four hundred yards, and released him, bidding
him save himself if he could. At this instant the hor-
rid war-whoop sounded in the ears of poor Colter, who,
urged with the hopes of preserving life, ran with a speed
at which he himself was surprised. He proceeded
tow trds the Jefferson Fork, having to traverse a plain
six miles in bre idth, iunding with the prickly pear,
on which he was every instant treading with his naked
feet. He ran nearly belf-way across the plain, before
he ventured to look over his shoulder, when he perceived
that the Wiens were very much scattered, and that he
had ,rained ground to a considerable distance from the
main body ; but one Indian, who carried a seear, was
much before all tee rest, an I not mere than one 'hun-
dred yards from him. A faint gleam of hope now
cheered the heart ot Colter ; he derived confidence
from the belief that escape was within the bounds of
possibility ; but that confidence was nearly tafal to
him, for he exerted hintselt to such a degree that the
blood gusdeil from his nostrils, and soma almost covered
!ore-part of his hotly. Ha hail new arrived within
a milt of the river, when he distinctly heard the ap-
pelline, sound of footstspa close behied, and on looking
over his shoulder perceived the Indian with a spear,
which he was eviihnitly preparing to hurl, within a few
feet of him. As a lest resource he suddenly stopped
and turned round, with outsrretched arms; the sur-
prise of the action caused tee Indian, who stopped
likewise, to stumble, and he on t•e spear, which
broke in two. C eter insten ly seized the sharp
part,
with which he pinned him to the earth, and tileti con-
tinued he flieht. The foremast ot tte Ind a IS, on
arriving at the place, stopped till others came up
to join them, when they set up a hideous yell.
Ev try moment of this time was improved by
Celier; who, although fainting and exhausted, suc-
ceeded in gaining the skirting of the Cotton-tree
wood, on the borders of the Fork, through which he
ran and plunged into the river. Fortunately for
bins, a lit le below this place was an islet's', against
the upper part of which a raft of drifeeimber had
loeged. He dived under the rift,and, :titer severel
efforts, got his h, a I above water amongst the trunks
of trees, covered over with smal cr wow) to the depth
of several feet. Sc trcely had he secured himself who.)
time ins arrived on the river, screeching and eat-
ing, as Colter expressed ir, " like so many devil,"
They were frequently on the raft during the day, and
were seen through the chinks by Colter, who was con-
gratulating himself on his escape, until the idea arose
that they might se' the rift on fire. In horrible sus-
pense he remained until night, when, hearing no more
of the ludiiins, he dived under time raft, anti seam

the officers hid ever met with. The proprietor of the

fined him in the sum of 301., which he immediately paid.

TRAVENON MINING ASSOCIA
TION.

COURT OF EXCHEQULR, Mar I.
THE QUEEN V. LORD CHURCHILL.
At the sitting of the Court this morning, judgment in this
case was delivered by Mr. Baron Parke. It was a writ of
intrusion brought to recover certain lands possessed by the de-
fendant in Oxfordshire. In January last the Attorney-Gene-
ral obtained an irder to change the venire into Hertfordshire,
on his mere suggestion, and without any affidavit upon an .u-
-thority in 2d Meesom and Welsby. Afterwards Sir W. Fol ett. on
the part of the defendant, moved to discharge the order.
He obtained a rule nisi, which was argued very
elaborately by the Att• racy and lieitor-General and Sir W.
Follett last 1 erm. The point lay in a very narrow compass.
The, e was no doubt that a subject had no such right, but the
Crown had many undoubted prerogatives in :he conduct of
suits. The only question was whether this was one ; of course,
like all other cases, this one must be determined by precedents
and the dictum of Judges. There was only one case of prece-
dent in a Writ of Intrusion—that was the King v. Parsons,
and it was well known that that case was decided exparte, and
under a mistake, occasioned by an inapplicable quceation of
a case in Saville from Mr. Sergeant Marining's Exchequer
practice In Comyn's Digest, D 85, it was laid down that
" the King may lay his action in any county he pleases in any
personal action," and that oictum had been held good by the
Court. 'I he only paint was in what sense the word ' personal'
was used. Now there seemed to be no doubt but that a writ
of intrusion was a personal action—it was brought to recover
damages—not the land, for the Crown in the contemplation of the
law had never lost it. But the word personal' might
mean such actions as were for the recovery of debts or dama-
ges to the person or personal effects, and in that sense a Writ
of Intrusion was not a personal action. But it was said that
such a construction of the word personal would give the
Crown no prerogative at all. That was not correct, for
there were statutes which ob'iged the subject to lay the
vehue where the cause of action arose. There was a very
rild statute mentioned by Mr. Tidd, as contained in the
laws of Henry the First, but it was not found in the
edition of the statutes published by the Commissioners of
public records ; it provided that every one was to be tt judged
try his peers, and of the same county." The 6th Richard H.
was passed for the purpo-e of confining actions of debt, &c. to
their proper counties ; that statute was evaded, and the 4th
Henry V. was passed, wh ch directed attorneys to be sworn not
to b ing action, in a foreign county. After that statute a prac-
tice grew up of pleading the impropriety of the venue in abate-
ment of the wt it even before the plaintiff had deflated, and then
the defendant was allowed to • raverse the venue, and try the
traverse by the country. The I ractiee of changing the venue
upon motion was introduced upon the equity of the statute of
Richard 11. But neither of these statutes bound the Crown,
and consequently with respect t.-. 3 all t ersonal actions in the
sense of transitory actions,
tie Crown had a privilege which
"...I it was probable that was all the
the Court
subjectinten
intended
dd
innot:ihe case of the King v. Webb, for it
reported that rh-..t was a motion by the defendant to change
the venue frce:g Middlesex to London, on the ground that if
there had been any conversion it was in London ; but the Court
refused and said the Crown had the prerogative to try his
personal action where he pleased. In the uncertainty attending
incipal cases reported, and in the absence of any precedent
whatever in an information of intrusion or other action termed
lo al, the C iurt were of opinion that the Crown officers had
failed to establish the right to the prerogative claimed. The
rule would, therefore, be made ab °lute, but the Attorney.
General, if he thought fit, might apply for a writ into anotl er
county, upon a suggestion that the cause would not he in-
differently tried in Oxfordshire, as was the case in the only ap-
plication made to the Court in any writ of int. usion.
Rule to discharge the order was made absolute.

The Rev. Lion& Puller appeared at the Mansion-house on
Thurs lay last before Alderman PIRIE and Sir PETER Lau-
RIE, for the purpose of having the adjudication of th ,se Ma-
gistrates in his ease against Mrs. Gully, who, it will be recol-
lected, came up from Cornwall to est .bush a mining company,
and induced the Rev. Gentleman to give his note fo-
upon the untie. standing that she should get it cashed and give
him a share of the proceeds and a certain number of shares in
the scheme s•hich she meant to bring to maturity in the Lon-
don Share Market.
Mr. C. Ph 1 ips, the Barrister, attended for Mrs. Gully,
and Mr. Humphreys for the Rev. Gentleman, whose state-
ment of Thur day week attracted a number of jobbers to
the Justice-room.
Mr. Humph' eys submitted that the case was adjourned iii
order that. Airs, Gully might have sufficient time to produce
the deed of the Travenon mine, signed by the lord of the ma-
nor, and bearing other evidence of authenticity about it. He
had only to inquire on behalf of his client whether such deed
was in existence.
Mrs. Gully said there was no actual deed, but there was an
agreement for the mines.
Mr. C. Phillips—There is a memorandum of an agree-
ment.
Alderman PIRIE—The case was adjourned, Mrs. Gully
promising to produce the deed.
Mrs. Gully said that the whole correspondence with Mr.
Plomer, the agent of ,he lord of the' manor, would show that
she could obtain the deed when she wished. She had written
to Cornwall upon the subject, but the lord of the manor was
from home, and nothing else caused the delay. There was no
deed actually signed, but a deed could be obtained as soon as
a sufficient number of subscribers were obtained for the mines.
The Rev. Mr. Buller, in answer to Alderman Pirie, de •
Oared that he never lint signed any deed.
Mr. Phillips—Mr. Buller, I ask you upon your oath, did
you not give its.tructions to Mr. Plomer to put your name to
the deed ? Mr. Buller—l solemnly swear I did not..
Mr. Phillips—Pray, Mr. Buller, have you not often, since
vou passed the bill to Mrs. Gully, dined with that lady ? Mr.
Buller—l admit that I have, but I provided the eatables.
Mc. Phillips—What, did you provide upon any occasion ?
Mr. Buller—Two capercailz•es, or black cocks of the wood.
Mrs. Gully—Did you provide the wine? Mr. Buller—No,

Mr. Phillips—Allow me to make one statement Nfrs.
Gully is convinced that her mines are a Tema fide concern of
value, and if the Rev. Gen,leman is discontented with his
bargain, she is willing to return him his money, and that she
has offered before.

WILLIAMS V. LAWSON.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL appeased to show cause against
a rule obtained by Mr. Kelly, which called upon the delmd-
' :'nt to show cause why he should not deliver over to the
plaintiff a copy of the issues; and also why an order for giving
security for c sts should not be discharged. The plaintiff
-aid he had been a surgeon in the navy, and had been
improperly dismissed. He had made application to several
Boards of Admiralty but unsuccessfully. In June, 1834,
he petitioned the House of Commons—the petition was
presented by Sir C. Codrington, and in doing so he made a
speech very laudatory of the plaintiff. He was replied to by
sir Jas. Graham and 111 r. Labouchere, two of the then Lords of
the Admiralty, and in the Times of next day.appeared a report
of the discussion. The plaintiff did not complain of any inac-
curacy in the report of the speeches of the two latter gentle-
men, but he alleged that the speech of Sir E. Codrington had
been cut short. Still the pla ntiff had slept upon his imazined
wrongs, for it was not until January, 1835, that he
commenced his action for an alleged libel in the P „.
liamentary Report. The defendant pleaded three pleas- -first,
not guilty ; secondly, that the Report was a fair and br,,ea fide
account of what took place ; and, thirdly, a
,justification that
the charges imputed to the p'aintiff were true. Jr, 1836 the
defendant was ready to try, but the plaintiff did not zo on, and
as he had no known residence in England, the Cr ju-rt, on the
application of the defendant, made an order fo y costs. He took no steps, saying that at that 6 ge„rit
aie he en of
entered
ioto the service of the Queen of Spain for two
tired in 1837 ; but he took no steps in the years. He re-
when it was found that the attorney had cause until 1840,
lost, ail
the cause. He did not oppose the iu: the papers in
y inp ad to the defendant `-

Alderman Pinar —That may be so ; but here is a letter from
he c'zurchwai don of Helston, in a,rnwall, stating that the
mine had been abandoned two years ago, and that he was not
aware of any new Company being formed.
Sir. Philhps—That letter is no evidence.
Alts. Gully—lt is not true that it hat been abandoned, but
10,000/. had he. n laid out upon it, and a vast quantity of tin
had been obtained.
Sir PETER LAURIE—.IIIr. Buller, you are senior fellow of
King's College, Cambridge, and no doubt have obtained
high honours, but you are not by any means a match for Mrs.
Gully.
Mr. Buller—l admit that lam not.
Mr. Phillips—Mrs. Gully will b' glad to get rid of the Bey.
Gentleman altogether by laying him his 501.
Mrs Gully_Oh. certainly, most happy, upon getting back
my transfer of the shares. He shall have h s 501 in a week.
Alderman PIRIE—Why not give him a draft on your banker
for the amount? If you are the owner o. mines it is but rea-
sonable to suppose that you keep a banking account.
Mr. Phillips—lt is not every lady that has 50/. in her pocket,
and my client has no hanker.
Mrs. Gully—l shall have to write to Cornwall for the money,
and he can have it certainly in a fortnight.
Alderman PIRIE—Are you content, Sir. Buller? I sup-
pose all you want is your money. Mr. Buller—Quite content.
She shall have three weeks to pay it.
Sir PETER LAURIE--Very well. Now, Mt Buller, I must
say that you are not a little impl cat din citiiip this
mining
Company. The fact of your eating ea,
cocks of the wood, and drinking ":-reallzies, or black

self. I have not got it.
Mr. Phillips—Oh, h T picture !So her picture has some-
thing to cl) with the matter. I did not know that before. Let
us know something about the picture.
Mr. Buller-01i, h admit that I did ask her for her picture.
—( Loud laughter.) 1
Sir PETER. LAURIE-4 think it is better for you to think of
taking care of Mrs. Gully herself than of her picture.
Mrs. I.:idly—Not at all. She I do not require such a

DESTRUCTION OF STEWART'S HOTEL, AL.
BEMARLE-STREET, By FlRE.—About a quarter-past nine
o'clock on Friday the inhabitants of Albemarle-street were
thrown into a state of the utmost alarm by the cries of fire, at
the same time the numerous persons who were residing at
Stewirt's Hotel were rushing out of the above establishment'
A vivid blaze of flame very soon told what had occurred, which
was burning with great rapidity at the upper window on the
north side o the house. Several persons were des, etched it=
all directions for the engines, and in a short time the Li is'
don brigade engine f, om King-street, Chandos-street,
the County, West of England, and ethers, were upon the
spot, as well as a large body of the C division of
,poliee.
Unfortunat.ly no wa er could be obtained, and in a short
space of time this splendid establishment, which cons steel
of two of the largest sized houses, and close to the Earl of
Man-field's, was in one body of flame. The fire literally rata
from fluor to floor, like a flash of lightning. At the 0-
piration of ab ,ut half an hour water was procured, but the
whole of the h 'tel, from the basement to the top, with the
whole of the plendid fu niture, was all in flames, and the de-
vouring element was rapidly extending its progress. The en'
gin's, h,,wever, had so placed themselves, particularly the
West of England (which was close to the pavement and is
front of the hotel), that as soon as water was procured. irn"
mense torrents were poured on.the flames, and the effect in 3
short time was visible, as the fire was considerably damped.
Previously to this it had extended its ravages to the adjoining
houses, as well as those in Dover-street, which abutted on the
btck of the hotel. The exertions of the firemen were speedily
crowned with success, as the fire. with regard to the promisee,
was soon got under, with comparatively slight damage..
great number of other engines arrived, the greatest portion of
which were got to play; but, we regret to state, not a vestige
of any part of the property was saved. As to how the fire oil-
ginated no account could be obtairi-d which was in any de-
gree satisfactory, in consequence of the confusion which pre-
wiled. We understand that the whole of the building and fur-
niture was insured, the loss of which is estimated at several
thousand pounds.
FIRE AT THE CARLTON CLUB HOUSE.-
on Friday morning, a few hours before three o'clock, consider-
ab!e alarm was occasioned in Pall-mall by the oceurr.nace of
a fire at the extensive mansion occupied by the Carlton, Club.
The discovery was made by police constable 23, C, who- ob-
serving flames at one of the windows of the first floor at the
east-end, nearest to the Reform Club-house, instantly sprang
his rattle and gave the alarm. Two engines from the County
Fire-office were in an incredibly short space of time brought
to the spot, as was also the St. James's parochial eogiz e, but
their cervices were not required, the flames, by the exe rtiong
of the servants of the establishwent and the police, beinx sub-
dued with the destruction only of the window-curtains, s,lshav
and glass. The fire was, it is stated, occasioned by one oi7 the
servants having placed a lighted candle too near the curtains.
