BANKRUPTCY COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

COURT 01RENIEW.
EX-PARTE WOOD IN RE WOOD.
Mr. Wir.cocxs applied to the Court for its opinion under
the following circumstances :—The bankrupt hi.d called
his creditors together in August 1831, and proposed a corn.
position of 10s. in the pound to them, which the majority
accepted. The deed was executed in the next month, and
the first instalment of 5.. psid. In October a commis.
sion was sued out founded on an act of bankruptcy
committed in June. The question was whether the
parties who had received ss. in the pound were to retain
it, and prove for 155., or were to refuse it, and prove for
the whole of their debts.
Mr. Rictianns, for the assignees, baying consented to

,bide by the decision of the Court, which had not juris-
rrerion in the matter,
Their HONOURS said they were of op;nion that thvse
,Teditors who had received 59. in the pound were entitled,
under all the circumstances, to retain it,

COURT OF COMMISSIONERS.
OIVEN'S BANKRUPTCY

A meeting_ of the creditors for the final examination of
the bankrupt Owen, who had carried on the businv.a of
bookseller, in Little Bell-alley, Coleman-street, took plac
before Mr. Commissioner Merivale, at two o'clock this day.
Mr. TAYLOR, the s elicitor under the commission, ex I
mined the bankrupt very strictly as to several of the item..
on his balance-sheet, in which were many apparent most
exorbitant charges, among which expenses to France Lane
Margate, 130/. , and 750/. for the expenses of the
bmkrupt's town house, and several others which appeared
to give great dissatisfaction to the creditors. The
bankrupt admitted that al•nost every entry on th
balance sheet was made from memory, that he had kept
no books previous to May last ; and that some were made
from documents which he could produce if given time.
Mr. Commissioner MERIVALE said, that it was utterly
impossible he could pass the bankrupt's last examination
till vouchers were produced, fir as the balance-sheet stood
at present, it was formed by guesses and surmises, whicl,
would not do for him. The charge of 40 guineas a-year
rbr the schooling of his son, a bay, nine years of age,
must be explained. He would, therefore, adjourn the exa-
mination for a fortnight; and if it appeared that Mr. Owen
had been neglectful in procuring vouchers for the dif-
ferent items in his schedule, he should consider it his duty
to adjourn the examination sine die.

OLD BAILEY.-(THIS DAY.)

John Bray, a respectable looking young man, was in-
dicted for stealing a check for 411. 13.. 4d. upon Messrs.
Coutts and Co., the property of Basil Jackson, from the
dwelling-house of John Hodge.
The prisoner, it appeared, had occasionally been em-
ployed by a traveller, in the house of Spalding and C 0..,
wholesale stationers, to whose house he had access and op.
portunities of knowing where property was kept. The
check in question had been given to the care of that traveller,
who placed it in a desk, that was occasionally unlocked. At
last it was missed, and on the day it was missed the prisoner
presented the check for payment at niers. Coons and
Co.'s. Some suspicion was excited in the mind of the
clerk that he hail not come by the check honestly, a..d
he was detained until an inquiry was made. The result
of that inquiry proved that the check had been st len.
The prisoner, on being required to account for the posses.
sion of it, said he bad found it lying in Messrs. Spalding's
warehouse. He was given into the custody of Mr. Thomas,
the Superintendent of Police, and be expressed great
sorrow for what he bad done.

The prisoner called no witnesses, and said it was his
first off,nce, and he hoped the Court would be merciful
to him.

_The Jury found bum Guilty.
The prosecutor recommended him to mercy, on the
ground that this was his first offence, and that his family
were in exceedingly great digress.
Mr. Baron BOLLAND said, the recommendation should
be forwarded to a proper quarter.

London, England, 1832-04-26

DELAY OF BUSINESS.

Mr. Justice BOSANQUET entered the Court precisely at
a quarter past eleven o'clock. There were seven causes for
trial on the Remanet paper, all defended, and the only Coun.
sel in attendance at the sitting of the Court, was Mr. Martin,
who was engaged in the cause, "Brunskill v. Giles." On the
officer of the Court calling over the causes, none of the par-
ties engaged in them answered, nor did any Advocate in their
behalf, with the exception of Mr. Martin, who said he was
concerned for the plaintiff' in the above named action, but
that Mr. Serjeant Bumpus, who was against him, was not in at.
tendance.

Mr. Justice BOSANQUEr--The Court must make some
arrangement about this—it makes the Sittings in Term a per-
fect farce. I will take especial care to mention it in the morn-
ing to my brother Judges.

In the case of Swansberg v. Coventry, a Gentleman in Court
said, that ➢lr. Sergeant Wilde and Mr. Sergeant Jones were en-
gaged in this case, but that they were not present. He believed
that the action had been withdrawn, and that it would be tried
at the Sessions.

Mr. Justice BOSANQUET—You believe it is withdrawn ?
That will not do, I c innot take your belief. I will strike it nut
of the paper, which the Learned Judge did instanter, and
took occasion to remark upon the inconvenience to which the
Judge and the Jurors were put by" a number of causes being
placed on the paper for trial, and when they are in attendance to
try them, none of the parties are present. Something certainly
should be done to prevent the recurrence of such farcical prac-
tices in future.

The COURT was then adjourned till the next sitting (Thurs.
day).

FINE ARTS.

NATIONAL PORTRAIT GALLERY.
3 you.

Three volumes of this valuable national work are
now completed. They are of a full quarto size ;
most splendid and imposing in their exterior, and il-
lustrated with some of the chastest and most elabo-
rately finished engravings we have ever seen. Nei-
ther time, labour, nor expense, seem to have been
spared to render this costly work worthy the encou-
ragement of a great nation. The portraits of all
those illustrious Englishmen, who, whether as poets,
philosophers, senators, lawyers, divines, warriors,
or artists, have figured on the stage of existence during
the last hundred years, and earned a title to the un-
dying gratitude of posterity, are here introduced,
accompanied by-slight explanatory memoirs, penned
in a very agreeable and unassuming style by Mr.
Jerdan—a gentleman who, from circumstances, is
every way qualified to do justice to his task. A
work like this forms a necessary part of English

literature. History doubtless will record the acts of
many of the eminent personages whose biographies
are inserted in it ; but the major portion of such re-
cords will necessarily be in sketch, whereas here we
have them in detail—not the mere bust, but the
ample full-length. What historian, for instance,
will ever give so minute, so animated a detail of
the circumstances attending the assassination of Per-
ceval, as Mr. Jerdan who was on the spot, and au
eye-witness of the whole transaction, has afforded us
in the National Gallery ? We repeat, that the wok is a
necessary adjunct to our country's literature. No pri-
vate or public library can properly be said to be com-
plete without it. Viewed even as a sample r.f the high
state of cultivation to which the Fine Arts have ar-
rived among us, the National Portrait Gallery is
eminently deserving of the great encouragement it
I.as received. The engravings are by various hands,
but by far the major part of them are executed in
the most superior style. We parricuarly allude to
the portraits of the Princess Charlotte—the Duke
of Wellington—Lord Grantham, and the late
Mr. Angerstein, each of which has been finished
with a degree of neatness, of delicacy, of the
most rigid attention to force and purity of
effect, to which we have few, very few parallels.
The expenditure of capital on this work must have
been enormous, and such as English enterprise only
would have hazarded.

DRURY-LANE THEATRE.

Last evening, after The Conspact, the splendid piece of
The Magic Car ; or, Three Days' Trial was repeated
for the third time. We mention this piece again chiefly
for the purpose of noticing the remit. hahle ability displayed
by a most interesting little girl, only six years old, Miss
Adelaide, the daughter and pupil of 111 r. and Mrs. C. Byrne,
awl the niece of the celebrated Mr. Oscar Byrne. This
hieltly accomplished dancer appealed on Monday evening,
for the first time on any stage, and occupied the most
conspicui us station in a characteristic fairy dance. Her
c,trect mode of keeping time, her very graceful manner, her
self-confidence, and her agility, st, uck us with admira-
tion, and bhe was throuchout most enthusiasticahy ap-
plauded by a crowded and fashionable audience. Sue pi o-

small degree, to the already well-earned fame of the exit:-
brited name she hears.

THE COURT JOURNAL.

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL moved to make the rule ab.
solute in this case, for the same libels.

Sir JAMES SC ARLETT was instructed to oppose the mo-
tion, but from what had just passed he certainly could not feel
that he rose under very encouraging circumstances ; at the
same time he was anxious to do justice to his clients, who had
made a long affidavit, in which they stated that, in publishing
the libel in question, they were actuated by no malicious or
unkind feelings. They were exceedingly sorry that they should
have been the medium of giving publicity to such a piece of
passing scandal. The Editor had stated that his paper had the
character of being extremely free :from the publication of
such libels, and which he (the Learned Counsel) be-
lieved to be true. There was a sort of competition
between the editors of newspapers, as all must know, to be the
first to feed the public appetite for slander. Sincerely did he
wish that there were any other means of satiating that desire;
but a newspaper would have very little circulation if it were to
abstain from taking a part, and a very active part, in this mode
of proceeding. He was instructed to throw himself on the
mercy of the Attorney-General and his noble client, and to say
that his clients were prepared to make the most ample apology.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL would only make this ob.
servation, that in this case the Court Journal appeared to have
been the first to have issued the scandal; therefore it was, per_
haps, in a more capable situation than any of the other Papers
to give information as to who the original propagators were of
the vile scandal.—Rule made absolute.

THE JOHN BULL.

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL then moved to make the
rule absolute in this case, for having also published the same
libel.

Mr. PLATT appeared on the other side, but hardly knew
that he could state any thing for the benefit of his clients. They
had copied the libel from the Court Journal, which had been
the source of all this mischief.--(Laughter.) His clients had to
express great regret for what they had done.

structed to oppose his motion to make the rule absolute in the
case of the Observer, therefore he would take his rule.
Rule made absolute.

COURT OF CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.)

LIST OF MOTIONS—ENORMOUS EXPENSE.
Sir E. SUGDEN stated that he had been consulting with
some of his Learned Friends on the best mode of getting rid of
the arrear of motions. There was a vast arrear at present,
which led to a most ruinous expense to suitors. He had
no less than thirty-five motions in his own bag; and upon
the one seventh down in his list, by a calculation which his clerk
had made, the charges for solicitor's attendance in Court already
amounted to upwards of the enormous sum of FORTY GUINEAS
All this had been occasioned from the want of an opportunity
of making that 'notion.

The LORD CHANCELLOR inquired if that particular
motion was an appeal motion
Sir E. SUGDEN replied in the affirmative.

The LORD CHANCELLOR did not know why many of
the motions—motions which were not appeal motions, were not
taken into the Vice-Chancellor's Court.
Sir E. SUGDEN believed that his Honour's Court Was
already crowded with motions.

The LORD CHANCELLOR was inclined to think that,
however crowded that Court might be, yet that still many of
the motions now stated to be in arrear in this branch of the
Court ought to be taken there. Indeed, why should original
motions, except some which were peculiar in their nature or
character, came betore the Lord Chancellor at all ?
Sir E. SUGDEN said that if they were not, and that if all, or
any thing like all, original motions were to go to the Vice-Chan-
cellor, the consequence would be, that his Lordship would not be
able to keep a single Counsel to himself. He (Sir Edward
Sugden), for instance, confined himself upon motions entirely
to his Lordship's Court; but if it were now to be under-
stood, that all motions were in the first instance to go be-
fore the Vice-Chancellor, lie would immediately accept of briefs
in that Court. What the bar had now to propose was, that there
should be a list of no more than six of the oldest motions before
his Lordship put Into the paper on every seal day. In this way
to go regularly through the arrear of motions, that paper at the
same time not preventing Counsel from occasionally moving in-
junction motions, or any others which absolutely re.
quired to be made without delay. In this way the
expense attending the arrear of motions would be
greatly obviated, because solicitors would only be allowed
to charge for their attendances in those motions which were in
the paper. At present they charged their Ms. 4d. on both sides
on every motion in arrear every seal day— and to such an ex-

`ent did this expense go, thafrespectable solicitors actually felt
lstruned to put down their charges.
The LORD CHANCELLOR thought this would be a very
proper plan, and therefore directed it to be adopted.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MAR YLEB ONE.

A young man, named John West, a medical
student, and enveloped in an ample cloak, was
charged under the following circumstances :
About four o'clock yesterday morning he met Mrs.
M. Jones, who had been to see her husband off in
a coach in Park-road. He had a mask on. As
soon as he saw her, he pulled this off, and threw
open his cloak, which displayed a tall ungainly per-
son, and a bare lanky neck, attired in a kind of flesh-
coloured vest. Notwithstanding this attractive ex-
hibition, Mrs. Jones refused to accompany him
home, and he struck her, for which he was taken
into custody.

Mr. RAWLINSON deprecated his foolish conduct,
especially his wearing his mask in the streets. A
policeman saw that morning a barouche and four
rattle down the New-road, and it was filled by per-
sons of both sexes, who were half.naked and were
returning from the masquerade.
Mr. RAWLINSON fined the defendant 205., and
said it was the duty of the police to inform against
taverns where such scenes as masquerades were
carried on.

The estafet from Paris brings the Rentes rather lower,

Now that the attempt at a revolution in Paris is over,
Don Pedro's expedition comes on the tapis, and is the ge-

we can credit the private letters received from Madeira,
this long talked of attempt on Portugal must be now on
sea, steering its course towards the Portuguese coast, as the
accounts state it was to have sailed on the 10th instant ;
therefore, perhaps, by Monday next, we may hear of im-
portant events from that quarter.
Consols have been during the whole of the morning at

"COURT OF CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.)

The LORD CHANCELLOR resumed the hearing of Dorriei
v. Bainbridge again this morning.

ROLLS COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

JUDG3fENT. •-...HASELL V. MATHIAS*

His HoNowt, gave judgment this morning in this case,
in which the plaintiff by his bill claimed to he entitled to
the moiety of 4,400/ represented in the settlement made
on his marriage to lie in the hands of Mr. Lewis Mathis',
his father-in-law. The plaintiff some time prior to his
father-in•law's death became embarrassed, and for the pur-
pose of raising money to avert his difficulties, assigned all
his interest to him. The father-in-law left a large for-
tune to the defendant, who delivering up the assignment
made by the plaintiff to be cancelled, and actually can-
celled it with his own hands. The defendant insisted by
his answer that he never meant to do more than release his
claim to certain trust funds, but not to the sum of 4,400/.
it was not pretended that at the time of deliveJy up the
assignment to be cancelled, there was any such restriction
as the defendant now insisted upon in his answer, in the
opinion of the Court it was a mere after thought on his
part. His Honour therefore was of opinion, the cancel-
lation of the deed must have the same effect in that
Court as in a Court of law, and the decree therefore must
be for the plaintiff, declaring him entitled to the sum
of 2,200/.

RANKIN V. WEGUELIN.

The COURT likewise gave judgment in this case,
in which the husband, in contemplation of death,
delivered to his wife certain bills of exchange, pay-
able to his order, but not endorsed by him, and the
single question in the case was, whether a bill of ex-
change could pass by way of gift, donatis mortis causa.
Hie Honour considered himself howr+ to decree, that they
conk!, upon the principles laid down in the case of Duf-
field and Elives, decided by the House of Lords, the ne-
cessary conclusion from which was, that in the case of a
chose in action, delivered by way of donatis mortis causa,
the executor became a trustee for the donee, and
a Court of Equity would compel him to lend
his name to the recovery of the bills. His Honour, there-
fore, considered the plaintiff entitled to retain the bills,
and decreed accordingly.

BAINES V. OTTY.
His HONOUR. gave judgment in this case also. A tes-
tatrix of the name of Sarah Johnston gave her real and
personal estate to trustees, upon a trust for her niece for life
after her death, as she should by any deed or will appoint ;
and in default of appointment the trustees were to convey
the whole of the real estate to such persons as would be her
heir-at-law, and the personal estate was to go to the per-
sonal representative. The present bill was filed by the
next of kin of the niece, there having been no opponent
claiming a sum of 5,0001., which the defendants (the
executors) insisted they were entitled to as the personal
representatives of the niece. His Hononr considered him-
self bound to follow his decision in " Saberton and Leigh,"
and decreed the next of kin entitled to the sum they
sought for.

CHELTENHAM.

(FROM A CORRESPONDENT. )
On Tuesday last a dinner took place at Yearsely's
Hotel in this town (Cheltenham), composed of about
fifty or sixty of the members of the Blue Club, or Conser-
vatives as they are called, but for what purpose the meet-
ing was; no one here knows but themselves. Every thing
went off quiet until the evening, when from 50 to 100
boys and girls met opposite the house and shouted. The
consequence was, a number of the members sallied from
the Hotel, in a state of intoxication, and gave the police
charge of the people, which so incensed them that they
broke about 13 pains of glass ; the consequence was, some
15 or 20 were taken to prison, while one of the magistrates
thought proper to read the Riot Act, and was so steady
in that act that he fell down in doing it, and after a few
hisses and groans from the people, they all dispersed, and
nothing more was the matter.i:Now, Sir, I beg to observe,
that these poor fellows, who were in prison all night, have
to appear before those very magistrates, and are actually
now before them while I am writing this article, to have
sentence passed on them. What that may be, I have not
yet ascertained, but I think a few remarks from your able
pen would tend to soften the sentence of the poor fellows.
I had nearly forgot to tell you, that the great Lord El-
lenborough was in the chair on the occasion.

BOLTON, JUNE 12.
London, England, 1832-06-14

FROM A CORRESPONDENT.

The electioneering parties have begun to assume a more
settled appearance here. Yesterday, Colonel Torrens vi
sited the principal families in the town, to whom he had
letters of introduction, and was very well received. At

twelve o'clock he visited the Exchange News-room, and
addressed the gentlemen present on the principles of com-
merce and currency, in an eloquent speech, and which
made a great impression in his favour. In the evening he
a !dressed at least 10,000 persons from the inn, in two elo-
quent speeches, in which heentered at great length into his
principles. He was very well and enthusiastically re-
ceived. An operative opposed some of his opinions in an
eloquent address. C,lonel Torrens was afterwards re-
ceived in the large room belonging to the inn, by most of
the respectable people in the town. The question of his
eligibility was mooted ; and ultimately a requisition,
calling upon him to offer himself as a candidate, was pre-
sented to him. It was numerously and respectably signed;
and several influential men, who had not signed it, pro-
mised him their support. Colonel Torrens accepted the
proposal, and declared himself a candidate ; and deli-
vered, in the course of the evening, several eloquent and
argumentative speeches upon various topics, in which be
demonstrated, philosophically, the science of commercial
intercourse, and the true law of the interchange of the cir-
culating medium.

His election is considered certain, as men of nearly
every political party say—" We give Torrens our vote."
The irapres,ion be has made is of the most intense de-
scription, and will not be easily removed. The extreme
radical party is behaving, as they always have done in this
town, with great fairness. They have met the Colonel in
a candid spirit ; and, if he does not go quite so far as they
may wish, yet, it is not improbable that they will support
him. He is pledged against monopolies—extravagant ex-
penditure—the tithes—flogging in the army—the Corn
Laws—taxation on industry—taxes on knowledge—use-
less places and pensions—and to that system of commer-
cial policy which will extend the commerce of the country.
He has pledged himself that, if elected, he will resign his
seat at any time, should a majority of his constituents be
displeased with his conduct.

He left Bolton on Monday night, to enjoy the hospitali-
ties of Mr. Thomas Potter, of Manchester, and left for
London next morning, as he was obliged to he present to
vote on the Irish Reform Bill on Wednesday night. Ar-
rangements are being made for securing his return.
Mr. Ashton Yates, the other candidate, is also in town,
with his counsel, Mr. Edward Rushton, of Liverpool. He
commences active operations this week, and with a very
fair prospect of success. A great number of the electors
wish the town to be represented by Torrens and Yates.

JUDGNIENTI3AILING V. BOOTH.

His HONOUR also gave judgment i❑ this case, in which
the testator, after giving certain legacies, devised the resi-
due of his property to his wife, on the following words,--All
the rest and residue of my estate and effects, real and per-
sonal, I give to my dear -wife, her executors, administra-
tors, and assignees ;" and the question in the cause was,
whether an estate held by Mr. Booth, as trustee, passed to
his wife by the devise. His Honour considered the pre-
sent case came within the principle of Graybrock and
Inspruck, and decreed that the estate did pass by the devise.

town, or otherwise, to do what was necessary fo.

Committee to meet soon, and use their best exer-
tions to further the objects of the meeting.
It was finally agreed that they should meet next

that subscriptions should be put down to-day, whet,

PORTSMOUTH, JUNE 13.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SlK,—Observing in The Sun of yesterday a paragrapl,
stating that the " sign of the Duke of Wellington, in the
High-street of this town, had its name painted out, in
consequence of the repugnance of persons to deal in a
house of that name," I beg, in reply, to say, first, that
the name certainly is painted out, but not by my order,nei.
ther do I know by whom it was done; and as to the re-
pugnance of my friends dealing with me, it is untrue, as
I flat ter myself, bad as trade is, I have an average share.
I avow myself a Reformer, and a stench one too ; but I
should have considered myself a simpleton had I caused
the name of Wellington to he obliterated from my sign-
hoard, merely because the Duke of that name is unpopular.
I am, Sir, your obedient servant,

Yesterday Baron Jules Picard De Laune was
finally examined before Mr. RAWLINsON, and com-
mitted to Newgate for trial. No new facts were
elicited during the examination.
MARLB ORO U GH- STREET.

Yesterday a young man nan named lam Coyle,
servant, we believe, to a Mr. Mortimer Baynrun
(brother to the Membzr for York), was charged
before Mr. ROE, with having assaulted Edward
Clarke. The complainant is the individual who
was charged a short time back with having forged
the autograph to a frank of Earl Grosvenor, of
which he was, however, acquitted.
Mr. ROE ordered the defendant to pay a fine of
40s. and costs.

PHILLIPS V. TIIORNTON AND ANOTHER.

This was an action to recover a compensation for ser-
vices performed for the defendants, who were eminent
merchants in the city, and had an extensive establishment
at Batavia. The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff for
3,000/.
Sir JAMES SCARLETT moved for a new trial on the
ground that the verdict was contrary to the evidence. The
defendants had appointed their brother, Mr. Robert
Thornton, to manage their establishment at Batavia, and
his sister, Miss Thornton, went there with him to act as
his housekeeper. Mr. R. Thornton died there, and for a
considerable time the whole of that extensive establishment
was managed by Miss Thornton, who was admitted to be a
lady of gre it mercantile knowledge, and perfectly capable of
effecting sales and c irrying on the business of a merchant. The
plaintiff was the Captain of one of the defendant's ships,
and was alespa-ched io B atavia, where he and his ship were
placed at the disposal of Miss Thornton, as the d. fendants'
agent, and by her orders made several mercantile trips in
that part of the world. After some time the plaintiff
married Miss Thornton, and from that period until he and
she left B atavia, he assisted in the management of the
establishment there. Upon coming to England, he made
some of the most extravagant demands for services per-
formed, although the defendants had never entered intoany
contrect with him, that they resisted the payment, and he
brought his action for the sun) of 13,0001. for commission
and service*. The Jury gave him 3,000/ , when, in fact, he
was not entitled to a f a-thing, having actually been overpaid.
The Learned Counsel here went into a very detailed state-
ment o' accounts in support of his assertion, and concluded
by moving for a new trial.
Loral TENTERDEN, in granting a rule to chew cause,
said it would be highly desirable if the parties could come
to some amicable arrangement.

whom were said to be common thieves, were charged
with taking an active part in a conflict which took
place on that morning, between themselves and their
companions and die policemen, in which several of
the latter were severely beaten,and one nearly killed.
The Magistrates, after hearing the case, con-
victed the prisoners in the penalty of .5/. each, or two
months' imprisonment.

THE KING V. SLANE'S'.

This was an indictment against the defendant for libel.
The letters and plat; irds containing the libellous matter
complained of were written about the period of the elec-
tion for the county of Oxford, where a gentleman named
Fane was a candidate, and they imputed to some member
of Mr. Fine's family very immoral conduct. The de-•
fondant was found guilty.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL to-day moved for a rule to
show cause why there should not he a new trial, and was
proceeding to state the grounds of his application, when
Lord TENTERDEN said it would be necessary to read
over the evidence. When the defendant came up for
judgment the evidence would be read over, and then if the
Learned Couns4 could adduce sufficient grounds, the
Court would grant a new trial.

FRIEDLANDER V. THE LONDON ASSURANCE COMPANY.

This was an action tried at Guildhall, last Term, in
which the plaintiff, a dealer in jewellery, sought to re-
cover the amount of injury done to his house, furniture,
and stock in trade, by fire. The claim was resisted on
two grounds,-Ist, that the fire was a wilful act, and the
plaintiff was accessory to it; 2d, that there had been a
fraudulent representation of the property destroyed. The
Jury found a verdict only on one issue, viz., that which
imputed fraud, and upon that issue they found for the de-
fendants. The other issue was omitted from their consi-
deration without the consent or approbation of Counsel on
either side.

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL moved for a new trial, on
the grounds of the rejection of evidence which ought to
have been received, to contradict a witness for the de-
fendant, regarding the value of the property, and also upon
the omission of one of the issues by the Jury.
The COURT granted a rule nisi upon the evidence to
contradict a witness alone.
