DELYOSsE V. CRAWSHAY.

This was a ease in which a receiver had paid over
money to Mr. Gill, the attorney for the cause in
London, instead of taking care that it found its
way into the hands of the officer of the Court.
When the deficiency was discovered the parties
apprehended Gill, and recovered from him about
3,0001., but there was still a deficiency of 2,0001. ;
and this sum, on the ground of negligence, and want
of due care and attention in the discharge of his
duty, the receiver, Mr. Newton, was now called to
make good, and to pay it forthwith into Court. His
Lordship now said that in the case cited, where
Lord Eldon directed an inquiry out of compassion
to the receiver, he was ultimately compelled
to pay the money. No point could therefore be
raised from that; and as Mr. Newton, the
Receiver was in this instance, in his Lordship's
opinion, justly fixed with the liability for deficien-
cies, he must pay the two thousand pounds into
Court. In this, therefore, he agreed fully with the
Vice-Chancellor ; but he differed from his Honour
in this respect, that he pressed more hardly on the
Receiver, and more lightly on Mr. Delfosse, than
he (the Lord Chancellor) was inclined to do on a
consideration of all the circumstances. The only
doubt he had was as to the minute book, which had
not been produced till lately, and from the entries
in which something might be gleaned that would
tend to diminish the demand on the Receiver. On
that account he inclined to some kind of in-
quiry, and he would endeavour to frame terms to be
agreed on by the parties, which would meet his
views without allowing the parties to incur the ex-
pense of further litigation.
His LORDSHIP intimated, for the convenience of
the Bar, that he did not intend to sit on Monday.
If anything special was fixed for that day, it could
be taken on Tuesday, after the cases which stood
on that day's paper. His Lordship does not sit on
Tuesday till eleven o'clock.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Nov. 16

A dashingly-attired young man, named Frederick
Street, was opposed by Mr. Hoadley, coachmaker,
of Oxford-street, Mr. Gardiner, of the Bull Inn,
Holborn, and by a harness•maker, named Pallister.
The insolvent, who came of age in June, 1831, had
run through 1,450!. in Bank Stock, and contracted
debts to the amount of 8871. From Mr. Hoadley
he obtained a tilbury and a chaise, value 1471,, and
Mr. Hoadley was put to nearly 401. law expenses
The insolvent admitted that his money went in pur-
chasing horses, carriages, and other extravagancies.
He incurred a debt of 201. at the Bull Inn, and in-
duced Mr. Gardener to become his bail for 147/.
Mr. Gardener was nearly fixed for the amount, and
it cost him 30/. to capture the insolvent in time.
When arrested, in last June, he had seven horses,
and a tilbury which he baught of Mr. Hoadley.
These, and other property, were sold at a tre-
mendous sacrifice, under a friendly execution, and
there was nothing left for the creditors.
The COMMISSIONER remanded the insolvent, that
some documents might be filed, and intimated that
he should sentence him to a long imprisonment.

A fine specimen of the Gannet, a bird very
rarely to be met with in this region of the British Isles,
was lately obtained by a gentleman residing in the parish
of Africk, near great Malvern, in the following singular
manner. The bird was noticed very leisurely parading a
wheat sti,abble, by the gentleman alluded to, who happened
at the time to have a gun in his bands. However, wish-
ing to give the feathered stranger fair play, he did not
attempt to shoot at it, waiting until it should take flight,
but instead of this, on the bird observing his approach, it
immediately rushed at him with open beak and outspread
wings. Being thus unexpectedly attacked, he was obliged
to have recourse to the butt end of his piece, and it was
not until he had bestowed two hard blows upon its head,
that his assailant would submit to be repulsed ; it then
rose, upon which the gentleman discharged his gun at it
and brought it down by a shot which penetrated to the
brain. The bird has since been stuffed.

HENLEY, Nov. 14.—ANGLING SOCIETY.
—Various reports have been in circulation as to the sue.
cess of this Society in the preservation of the fish, and
many a hint thrown out that one part of the water has
been preserved the better to stock and profit the other,
which has not been the case. The Committee, therefore,
determined to try the state of the fishery, and for that
purpose assembled with the requisites on Tuesday. The
first haul with the net soon silenced " false rumour with
her hundred tongues ;" 300 brace of perch, besides other
fish, came to view. Four more h suls were made, and the
following quantity of fish was taken-700 brace of perch,
many of them 51bs. a brace; of jack but very few, owing
to the quantity of rushes and weeds in the " jock prt-
serve," by which at that haul nearly all the fish escaped,
and amongst them one of about 14lbs. which was seen
twice in the net; roach an immense quantity, seine near
2lbs. each ; one fine carp near 6lbs. ; and a fine salmon
trout about 4lbs. The fisherman who assisted states the
whole to be full 25 cwt. of fish. The gentle reader, if
an angler, need not lament so many fish being taken out of
the river without his having one day, for nearly the whole
of the fish were again deposited in their native element.
The extent of water preserved by the society is about two
miles, but not one quarter part was drawn, the other part
