ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

The MASTER of the ROLLS sat at the Rolls' Court, Chan-
cery-lane, to-day. His Honour, after the swearing in of so-
licitors, took petitions, none of which were of any .public
interest.

KING'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.)

DOE DEM., POOLE, V. KELLY.

Mr. MOODY (in the absence of Sir Wm. FOLLETT) stated
the case. It was an action of ejectment brought to recover
possession of the house, No. 7, Leicester-square, which is at
present used as a gambling house. The premises had been
originally demised by a lease made in the year 1795, and the
several deeds vesting the title in the lessor of the plaintiff
would be produced. The defendant Kelly was one of the
trustees on behalf of the lessor of the plaintiff, arid was a party
to the lease vesting the property in them, and now came for-
ward to contest the title of the real owners.

Mr. WILLIAMS for the defendant admitted the deeds, subject
to the objection that it appeared from the recitals in the deed
vesting tlie title in Poole, that the legal estate was not in the
lessors of the plaintiff. In the year 1819 a lease of the pre-
mises had been made to a person named Fry, who being in-
debted to the Messrs. Mawley for goods, deposited with them
the lease as a security. Fry became a bankrupt, and from that
time the Messrs. Mawley have retained the lease, and the
question was whether the right of the premises was not in the
assignees of Fry.
A verdict for the plaintiff was entered by consent, subject to
the decision of the Court upon the point reserved.

WOODAAM V. EDWARDS.

Mr. DAMPIER stated the case. It was an action to recover
the amount of five bills of exchange for 50/. each, payable at
intervals of three months each, which had been accepted by
the defendant, and had not been paid. The defence was, that
the defendant, Edwards, after the bills had become due, had
gone to Scotland to reside ; and in consideration that his cre-
ditors should not sue or molest him, had there executed a
deed, assigning to trustees all his chattels and property in
Scotland for the benefit of his creditors. Notice of this deed
had been given to the plaintiff, who, by letter, appointed a
Mr. Henry Richards, his attorney, to execute the deed.- and
receive the dividends.

Mr. EARLE, for the plaintiff, observed, that the facts in
this case were not disputed, and the whole question for de-
cision was, whether these facts amounted to a discharge of
the debt.

It was finally agreed that a verdict should be taken for the
defendant, subject to the decision of the Court upon this
point.

COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.)

ANGLER V. TWISDEN.
This was an action brought by the plaintiff, a tailor, in
Clifford-street, Bond-street, to recover a sum of 3031., alleged
to be due to hlm by the defendant, Sir W. Twisden, for articles
of clothing furnished to the defendant. The debt was con-
tracted before the year 1818, and in that year the defendant
took the benefit of the Insolvent Debtors' Act, and received
his discharge under the same. The only question for the
Jury to decide was, whether or not this debt was contained in
the defendant's schedule. The schedule itself had been lost,
but a draft of it was produced in Court in which this debt
appeared ; and W. Lewis, attorney, who was a clerk in his
father's office, where this draft was prepared, and who copied
the draft himself, and compared it with the schedule, proved
that the draft was an exact copy, and that the original schedule
contained this debt, amongst the others.
Mr. Sergeant BOMPAS and Mr. COOKE appeared for the
plaintiff, and Mr. Sergeant TALFODRD and Mr. RICIIARDS
for the defendant.

The Jury, after consulting about five minutes, returned a
verdict for the defendant.

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
Our arrivals this morning are few ; only a French and Brazi'
mail—the latter by the Goldfinch, which sailed on the 19a
March.

The sale of Exchequer Bills, which lately caused the de-
pression of the Funds, is attributed to a Foreign Loan recently
contracted for ; the money being for the supply of that Loan
deposited in Exchequer .Bills, and the moment the ratification
arrived, the above Bills were sent to be sold to supply the re-
mittances. It is also stated that the Bank Directors are going
to commence selling Exchequer Bills. Money is in demand
for commercial purposes, which is the occasion of the present
scarcity.
In the early part of yesterday Consols were heavy, but
towards the close of the market they were firmer, and closed
at 92ii for the Account, and opened this morning at 92 to
—same for Money.

not lend money on the Spanish passive and deferred Stocks.
To-morrow being settling day at the Foreign market, the
brokers and jobbers are busy in settling their accounts.
Since the above has been written, the Funds have a black
appearance. All Foreign securities have receded ; the exact
cause is not known. Spanish done at 664 ; Portuguese,
1004 ; Spanish Scrip, 6f.

We (in common, we dare say, with many of our
readers) have always had a strong prejudice against many of
the advertised preparations, avowedly made for the purpose of
exciting an appetife, and inducing people to make a good
breakfast. A few days ago we were prevailed upon to make a
trial of " Thorn's Potted Yarmouth Bloaters," and we were
so pleased with their superior flavour, that we invariably have
a pot of them set down on the table, at the morning's meal.
As we have get disabused of our prejudice, and really likt'
them, and Irtve oven fount,. gyeat benefit from their use,
have no hesitation in strongly recommending them to our
readers.
