COMMON PLEAS-MONDAY.

Mr. Sergeant WILDE showed cause against a rule ob-
tained by Mr. Kelly against the Marshal of the Fleet
Prigon, calling upon him to show cause why he kept locked
up in the strong 'room .of that prison a debtor of the name
of Angle. On the 20th of this month a warrant for felony
was lodged in the Marshal's hand against Angle, charging
him with forgery. The Marshal,. considering that the pri-
soner had great motives to induce him to escape from prison,
locked him up in the strong room. -
Mr. KELLY on a former day obtained a rule calling on
the Marshal to shoW cause why he did 'not admit the pri-
soner to the same privileges as other debtors.
The Courts, taking into consideration all the circum-
stances of the case, discharged the rule against the Marshal.
Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD to-day applied to the Court for
a rule nisi calling on the parties concerned in the late Ips-
wich election to show cause why they did not pay the ex-
penses of their opposition to the petition. This application
was made under the 9th of George IV., which 'ernpoWers a
Committee of the House of Commons to mulct parties in
costs. Upon the Speaker giving his certificate of that fact
the parties are bound to pay. The Speaker in this instance
gave his certificate some time since, and the expenses of the
opposition still remained unpaid.
Mr. Sergeant WILDE. as the queStion was one of vital
importance, hoped the Court would appoint a- time to have
it solemnlydrgued.
The COURT concurred in what fell from the Learned
Sergeant, and-said that they would appoint a day in the
next Term.

EXCHEQUER COURT.-MONDAY.

WANLEY V. SMITH.

This was an action upon a bond given by the defendant
to the overseers of the parish of Myddleton, in the East
Riding of Yorkshire, to . indemnify them from all liability
to charge for the maintenance of defendant's illegitimate
offspring. The bond was given before birth, and by it the
defendant bound himself to defray all costs of maintenance,
&c., of his child, so that it should not become chargeable
to the parish. In the progress of time the child grew up
to manhood, married, and, after he had arrived at the age
of twenty-one, became chargeable to the parish. The
overseers brought their action upon the bond for 20/., costs
incurred in maintenance. To the declaration the defendant
pleaded that the pauper, having attained his majority of
twenty-one years,- the bond was no longer obligatory upon
him. To this plaintiff demurred.
Mr. HENDEItSON now argued in support of the demurrer.
The COURT considered the•plea a good answer to the
declaration. The chargeability of the party, as contem-
plated by the bond, ceased upon his coming of age.

EX PARTE VISCOUNTESS KIRKWALL.

Mr. MILLER applied to the Court for a writ of-habeas
corpus to bring up the body of Viscountess Kirkwall, who
had been forcibly carried off under very extraordinary cir-
cumstances. The Learned Gentleman then proceeded
to state that certain individuals, Whose names he weal('
not in that stage of the proceedings mention, had pro-
cured the arrest of the Viscountess Kirkwall, to answer
sinister designs of their own. Her Ladyship, knowing
that there were writs nut against her, had been obliged to
conceal her place of abode. These debts, he ought to
mention, remained unpaid solely because the Earl of Ork-
ney, her Ladyship's father-in-law, prevented her from re-
ceiving her rents. Two actions had arisen out of these
proceedings, and in both he was instructed. While these
suits were pending; her Ladyship, only a-few days ago,
was arrested by a sheriff's officer, and carried to a lock-up
house. While there, she communicated to her attorney
her suspicion that Lord Orkney entertained some project
against her personal liberty, and she instructed him to apply
to that Court. She had not long been detained at the
lock-up house before she was informed that she was at li-
berty to leave it, her debts having been settled. Upon
her descending to the street door she was seized and forced
into a carriage, Lord Orkney taking his seat upon the box.
The carriage drove off rapidly, notwithstanding the cries
of murder and loud supplications for aid uttered by the
Viscountess. Representations were made at the time that
the party were only going to take their prisoner to White-
cross-street ; but upon enquiry in that quarter, no such
person was to be found. In fact she had not since been
heard of.

Mr. Baron PARKE—Do yOu know who now detains Lady
Kirkwall ?

Mr. MILLER—It is supposed she is in Lord Orkney's
house, about 20 miles from London.

Mr. Baron PARKE—You may have your writ ; and let
it be made returnable the day alter to-morrow.
Habeas granted, returnable last day of Term.

EXCHEQUER CHAMBER.

LEIGH V.'IvIACAULEY AND ANOTHER.

Mr. StmiuNsoN moved for a writ of attachment against
the defendants, Z. Macauley and T. G. Babington, under
the following circumstances :—ln August last the plaintiff
obtained an order, calling on the defendants to pay a sum
of money (1,6551.) into Court, but he had experienced
great difficulty in his attempts to find them, and the result
was that he had not been able to serve the order upon
them. Another application was consequently made to the
Court, the object of which was to get the order amended,
so that the service of it at the last place of residence of
the defendants might be deemed good service. That ap-
plication the Court granted. The present application was
made on the affidavit of Mr. Tudor, the plaintiff's solicitor.
—Ordered.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

B 0 W-STREET.

. Yesterday a respectably-dressed young man, named
James Todd, was charged with having stolen a very extra-
ordinary formed child named Henry Webb Tipping.
The child was brought into the office wrapped in its mo-
ther's shawl, and its appearance excited very great curiosity
and attention. The age of the child is five years and two
months, its height 2.7 inches, and the weight l llbs. It was
further stated that the child when born weighed only I lib.
When placed upon the floor he seemed greatly pleased
with the crowd of gazers, and ran about the bench and the
body of the Court playing all sorts of lively antics, in the
usual manner of children of the same age. The formation
of the head was most extraordinary, its being sufficiently
small to admit of its being put into a vessel less by a fourth
than a quart pot ; and the visage though exhibiting a good

deal of lively intelligence, was so sharp and thinly formed
as to present an.almost unnatural appearance.
The father and mother lived at a place called Dyer's
Drove Farm, near Copper's Gap, in the immediate vicinity
of Brighton, and for some months past the child had been
living with, its grandfather at Crocker-hill, near Farehanl,
Hampshire, from which place it suddenly disappeared on the
9th instant. A stranger had been seen about the neigh-
bourhood for some days prior to the disappearance of the
child, and he was supposed to have gone off with it. Infor-
mation was forwarded to the parents, and they came to Lon:
don, and gave information to the different station-houses of
the police. Inspector Moran set about making the proper
inquiries, and succeeded in tracing the defendant to a public'
house in Weston-street, near St. Thomas's .Hospital, in the
borough, where he found him with the child in a back-room'
He took him into custody, but there were several persons',
the room, who interfered, and the child, " somehow or other
was smuggled out of the room. The inspector, however'
afterwards succeeded in tracing them both to a h_ouso
the New-cut, near the Victoria Theatre, and brought them
to this office.
The parents said that they had both (the mother esr
cially) endured great mental affliction in consequence of the
absence of the child, as, from the peculiar formation, thil
had reason to fear that it had been taken away for some it'''.
proper purpose.
The prisoner admitted that he had brought the child t°
London, but for no other purpose than to exhibit it to we
faculty as a lusus naturx. He said it was not the first time
he had had the care of the child, because some time ago he
was exhibited at Bath, his (prisoner's) native city, with o°'
ther dwarf, and he had the management of the exhibitio.
The child was then under the care of an aunt, the mothers
sister. ' t
The mother admitted that such was the fact, but 33,-1
was during the whole time in the custody of the aunt.
The prisoner was then discharged on promising to paY tbe
expenses incurred.

dealers in hare-skins, while others appeared to, casektit,
