LONDON, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 1844.

Earl RADNOR has addressed a letter to the Editor
of the Economist on the subject of the Allotment
Systems, of which, as might be expected, he strongly
disapproves, chiefly, however, because it " is opposed
to every principle of political economy." We do not
think the system is to be thought the worse of on this
account, for political economy is by no means infal-
lible, and though it has been the rage among our
legislators and many of our public writers for some
Years put, it has been productive of little or no good
on n a comprehensive scale, while in not a few instances
it has shown itself wholly at variance with the dictates
of humanity, and though it may have the effect of
sharpening the understanding, and imparting to it a
keen, worldly, practical tone, we are yet to learn
that it improves the qualities of the heart, or elevates
or enlarges the intellectual nature of those who make it
their rule of faith. But, perhaps, it maybe urged by the
advocates of this over-rated science, that it is rather
a shrewd head than a feeling heart that is wanted in
matters of legislation. This is undoubtedly true, but
it is at best but a partial and limited truth, and the
experience of many years has shown that a keen

and worldly understanding, Unaccompanied by a
kindly nature, is incompetent to legislate in such an
enlightened and comprehensive spirit a.% shall be pro-
ductive of general benefit. Our rulers have been
steering by the lights of political economy ever sincqo
if not before, the days of HusKissost, and how has
the country at large been benefited by their gui-
dance ? Class interests, indeed, have derived
advantage from their narrow system of legis-
lation, but the vast mass of the people have
in no respect been bettered by it. Look at
the condition of the poor man, whether in the manu-
facturing or agricultural districts What has political
economy ever done for him or his ? Has it elevated
his position in society—has it improved his moral
character—has it drawn forth the kindlier and nobler
feelings of his nature—has it even increased his pecu
niary means, or given him a slight taste of some-
thing like prosperity ? Nothing of the sort. It has
left him in precisely the same condition i❑ which it
found him—we might almost add, in a worse condi-
tion ; for by avoiding everything like an appeal to his
feelings, by treating him like a machine rather than
a human being, and accommodating him with a strin-
gent New Poor-law—which, though equitable enough
in some of 'its provisions, is cruelly unjust in others
—by way of showing its sympathy for him ;—by so
acting towards the poor man, political economy has
at length succeeded in alienating him from his
superiors in station, and converting him into a
Chartist, a Socialist, a rick-burner, and what not.
If public attention be now fully directed to the case
of the poor and destitute ; ~if it be at length dis-
covered that something must be done for them, and
that they must be treated in a far more kindly, re-
spectful, and considerate manner than has hitherto
been the case, it is not political economy we
, have to thank for this tardy discovery, but
the antagonist principle of humanity, which is now
coming actively forward in the hope of remedying
the evils of the former system. It is not as political
economists that the manufacturers are now endea-
vouring to secure pleasure-grounds and parks for the
recreation of the workmen in their employ, to instil
into them a feeling of self-respect, and to improve
their social and moral condition in every possible
way ; but as humane and beneficent men, who have at
length become awakened to the great truth that the
poor and humble have affections, as well as prejudices
and passions, and that these affections may be appealed
to with success. Nor is it as political economists that
the landowners are now making such an active stir in
behalf of their peasants, but they are urged to it by
precisely the same motives that are influencing the
manufacturers. Political economy deals only with
the understanding, and in the pride of its pedantry
scorns to take into consideration the important fact
that the humbler classes have quick and ardent
feelings which are not to be neglected or trampled
on with impunity. Hence the notorious decline
of this cold, calculating, selfish system, and the
rise of that more enlightened and philanthropic party
which calls itself " Young England," and which, by
appealing to the heart as well as the head of the com-
munity, and adopting as its:rule of action the divine
behest, "Do unto others as you would they should
do unto you," bids fair to confer an immense amount
of benefit on all classes, but more especially on the
humbler and more hard-working orders of the com-
munity.

the unimpeachable professional purity of those by
*hoin that law is administered.

The discussion on the address was resumed in the
Spanish Chanabor of Deputies on the 29th, when
Sttior isiiiarm brought forward his amendment, but
he appeared to speak as one not in earnest, or who
had no hope of success. He declared that if he
thought his amendment would lead to confusion, he
would at once withdraw it, because he was anxious
to see revolution at an end, and order and peace
restored. He could not, however, help thinking that
the present time was very unfavourable for such im-
portant changes, and that it would have been more wise
and prudent to have established first of all organic laws
which might have worked well, and thereby have
rendered any inroad upon the Constitution of 1837
unnecessary. Senor MARILLO defended the Go-
vernment scheme, and reminded the House that no
Minister had been able to govern within the limits
of the Constitution of 1837. He, therefore, contended
that it was absolutely necessary to remodel the ma-
chine of Government. The President of the Council,
in reply to a question relative to the affair of the
Razo schooner, said that they had received from the
English Ambassador at Madrid the assurance that
every necessary satisfaction should be given. The
discussion was adjourned. Preparations for the trial
of PRIM were going on. No more arrests had taken
place.
The Three per Cents. were done at 27i for cash,
and 271 at 60 days ; the Five per Cents. at 21/ for
cash, and 20i at 60 days ; and the Floating Debt at
64/ at 60 days.

The Paris papers, especially those of the Opposi-
tion, are still occupied with the affairs of Spain. In
fact, the only political articles are on the Reform
Bill and the conspiracies said to have been discovered
at Madrid and Barcelona. The National, Sickle,
and Quotidienne, throw the blame of the late inroad
on the Constitution upon the French Government ;
and the articles which appear in some of their jour-
nals amply confirm the fact. Yesterday we pub-
lished a long account, taken from the Journal des
Debats, of the late proceedings, in which a most un-
justifiable attack was made on ESPARTERO, as if the
man who had conducted himself during the Whole of
his regency with the strictest honour, and a scru-
pulous regard for the laws, would lend his name and
influence to murder NARvauz, and bring about, for
his own selfish interests, a second St. Bartholomew.
We give the following from the National, as a reply
to the atrocious article :

" We fully expected the Ministerial journals to utter
fine phrases upon ,the frightful plot, of which Narvaez
had so much need, in order to strike terror into the
hearts of the Deputies, who were determined to contend
against his counter-revolution. The Debate did not fail,
yesterday, to place this affair in its most dramatic light.
It says that the manifesto of Espartero gave the signal.
Several refugees attempted to return, but were stopped
by the French police. Nevertheless the conspiracy fol-
lowed its course, aril this time it was assassination—
systematised assassination that was resorted to—a sort
of Saint Bartholomew—which was to extend to the
Ministers, Captains-General, and principal functionaries
of the Government. Let Narvaez and his allies put
forth as many such fables as they please—they and
their object are well understood. Let them mock the
people of France by repeating these odious stupidities—
let them represent a great man, who has been invested
with the government, as being enrolled in a systematic
plan of assassination—let them have the courage to accuse
a late Regent of having organised and directed a
St. Bartholomew for public functionaries—this is
an impudence so glaring, that it needs but
to be seen to meet with justice. We can
treat accusations of this nature with nothing but dis-
dain, and we are doing them too much honour by
noticing them. The only important thing tor tell the
public is, that the Progressist party has never, either in
France or Spain, disguised its firm resolution to move in
defence of the Constitution and liberties of its country,
against all the enterprises of re-actors. It has not con-
spired in secret, but in open day. Espartero has loudly
declared that he would place himself at the service- of
the cause for which he fought during seven years. Let
the men who seriously enter into politics separate en-
tirely the action of parties, the march of events, from
these insidious attempts, whether true or false, which
are wished to be made use of to delude public opinion.
There is some consolation, however, in the fact that the
Generals said to have been thus threatened have neither
of ,them received the slightest scratch. Narvaez and
the Baron de Meer are both in the enjoyment of perfect
health. The first, to keep his hand in, has already shot
four persons, who were arrested one day and executed
the next 1 His court-martial is in permanent sitting,
and he is said at the same stroke to have sent nine
other men to the gallies 1 It seems that these people
may be left to their own vengeance, which they
follow up with so much ardour, promptitude, and
ferocity, so devoid of all that bears the semblance of
the calm forms of justice, that our Ministerial jour-
nals have no occasion to stimulate them by their decla-
mations. Far be it from us to entertain the thought of
encouraging assassination; if it be true that any man
has rendered himself guilty of this crime, we shall never
express a wish that he may escape the chastisement of
the law. But is it the law that has decreed the san-
guinary executions at Barcelona ? To seize a man in
the evening, and to shoot him the next morning at day-
break, are these the regular proceedings of any tribunal
—even of a court-martial ? Is not this another murder,
no less infamous than the first ? If the first justly
merits severity, how can auy indulgence be shown to the
second ? These reflections are applicable, even if there
has been a premeditated insidious complot between a
small number of persons. But how could it be, should it
turn out that this business was got up by a police capable
of any crime ? We do not put this question unadvisedly.
The man who is put at the head of the police of Madrid
has a character which warrants suspicion. This Avira-
nets, of whom our correspondent has written to us, has
passed his life, his whole life, in conspiracies and secret
plots. There is not in all Spain a single cut-throat of
whose services he has not on occasion availed himself.
He has himself boasted, as we can confidently affirm, of
having the precise statistic of all the elements which are
disposable for any dark manoeuvre—any coup de main.
It is I alone,' he has said, who am able to be the
most terrible revolutionist in Spain.' "

it is so often our misfortune to except to the mea-
sures of Sir ROBERT PEEL—to challenge their prin-
ciple, or to deprecate their tendency—as, for example,
in reference to his currency-regulation scheme, or
his property and income-tax "screw"—that we find
it quite agreeable to meet him upon other ground, on
which we can approach him only with the tribute of
our humble, but unqualified praise. The recom-
mendation he has addressed to the Crown—of Mr.
ERLE for the Judgeship in the Court of Queen's
Bench, vacated by the lamented retirement of Mr.
Justice ERSKINE, is a proceeding for which the
Premier is entitled to the highest credit. The ap-
pointment, itself, is one of the most dignified, of the
most responsible, and of not the least lucrative kind,
which it is in the power of the SOVEREIGN to be-
stow. In this country, beyond the example, perhaps,
of all others, the unbounded respect of the people—
voluntary, uncompelled, unbiassed, unpurchased—
attaches to the ermined dispensers and expounders of
the law a sort of confidence which it withholds from
almost every other constituted authority, except on
full satisfaction, after much discussion and investiga-
tion—of their title to claim it. The mass of the
people, throughout all the varieties and conditions of
which it is composed, seem to go beyond the
wealthier and more dignified classes in rendering
their homage to the official position and personal
consideration of the Judges. So proud a distinction
as this among a proud and jealous people, cannot be
lightly earned. Still less can it be maintained with-
out the consistent manifestation, on the part of its
occupier, of those high qualities in the practical dis-
charge of the duties of the Bench, which the people
take it for granted must have already constituted the
principle of his selection for a post of so much mark
and distinction, by the authorities which have called
him to it. It is easy to imagine how many, and how
powerful appeals, must have been made to the Pre-
mier for this appointment, from quarters which no-
thing short of the plea of public duty, according to
his own estimation of its claims, could seem to justify
him in refusing to satisfy. But Sir ROBERT has
exercised the grace or patronage of the Crown, in
this instance, in so worthy a manner, that we should.
apprehend he must have propitiated the good opinion
of nine-tenths of the Bar. He has conferred it, not
upon the mast worthy of his political supporters—
but on the best qualified and most eligible member
of that powerful and learned body, for so exalted a
distinction. Mr. ERLE was, as to his political
opinions, a member of the Whig party—and therefore
arrayed in the ranks of the Minister's political op-
ponents, rather than in those of his supporters. But
Mr. ERLE was, in point of high professional attain-
ments, practice, character, and considera:ion, second
to none, and superior to most, of his contemporaries
in the same branch of practice. His professional
emoluments were extensive in proportion to his ex-
traordinary reputation as a leader among the leading
counsel and pleaders of his day. A career like his,
at the Bar, illustrated by so large an amount of legal
knowledge and sound judgment, of technical experi-
ence and skill, combined with the loftier talent, the
larger and more generalised views, and higher intel-
lectual discipline and reach of an accomplished and
successful advocate—terminates most honourably for
himself, and most advantageously, we will venture
to predict, for the public, by his elevation to the
Bench.

The Siècle thus winds up an article on the same
subject :

" The honour of Narvaez does not shine forth with so
pure a brilliancy that Prim, who is accused, may not
stand in face of it. It is already known who is the con-
spirator and the perjurer, and it will be speedily known,
if scme great injustice does not throw an obstacle in the
way of the defence, which of the two is an imposter.
These troubles, which announce a general explosion,
show how mad and criminal is the enterprise in which
the Spanish Government has embarked. That Maria
Christina, to cause her weakness to be forgotten, to
obtain from the Pope and the absolute monarchies a
dearly-purchased pardon, should arm the crown against
the laws and factions against the crown ; that Narvaez
by audacity, the military qualities which he does not
possess, should push on his fortune, and endeavour to
ensure his safety by coups d'etat, is a blind self-deceit,
which does not go beyond the common measure of
follies that have stained unhappy Spain with blood ; but
that a grave Minister, recalled for the third time from
exile, tried if not matured by political revolutions, that
Martinez de la Ross, upwards of 60 years of age, should
follow in the train of these adventurers is unpardonable.
If there remains to this latter, as we suppose, some sen-
timent of generosity, his punishment commences at
present. It is, in fact, a cruel one to see his country in
insurrection around him by his fault ; to cause, and
even perhaps to suppose crimes ; to be led, in fine, in
an impious struggle, to adopt measures of violence and
terror which a legitimate defence does not warrant.
Here we see the prisons filled, and courts-martial as-
sembling ; Narvaez declares that the army is faithful,
and that the executioner is ready. That is enough for
him to be at ease, but the conscience of M. Martinez de
la Rosa will, without deubt, inform him, that condem-
nations passed in the name of a perjured Government
against the defenders of national rights and liberties are
also assassinations."

Before it had been intimated, on adequate authority,
that Sir R. PEEL bad thus gracefully and promptly
recognised the superior pretensions to this high ap-
pointment of a political opponent some of our
Contemporaries had already discussed the contending
claims of several other parties, either actually candi-
dates, or probable claimants for it. We have per-
ceived with regret, in one article more especially, now
before us—a very able one, undoubtedly--that the
writer, in advocating the right of Mr. ERLE to ex-
pect that he should be nominated, has thought it
necessary—(in bad taste, and injudiciously, we must
say)—to go out of his way to damage the pretensions
of others. We lament to see the name of one very
sound and estimable Criminal Judge—the Recorder of
London—brought forward in this way, on a mere
surmise that a Noble Earl had been warmly solicit-
ing this Judgeship for that Right Honourable person,
his Lordship's brother. This is neither a candid nor
a justifiable course. We should strongly question
the fact of the Recorder's having sanctioned, sug-
gested, or assented to any such solicitations. But, in
the absence of all positive knowledge on that point,
we will only remark that, if anything could enhance
the value which we attach to the proper and judicious
selection Sir R. PEEL has made, or to the merits of
Mr. ERLE in being the object of that selection, we
should find it in the sense of duty which has induced
the Premier to pass by the claims of political and
official connexions, and among them, an auxiliary of
such standing and efficiency in Parliament—and, on
the Bench, a Judge so much respected for the sound-
ness of his legal doctrine and the probity of his de-
cisions, as the Learned Recorder. We dismiss this
point, however, to indulge in the congratulations we
has exhibited
to the Premier on the determination he
hibited to uphold the high character which the
Judicial Bench has so long acquired and justified, for
the soundness of the law which it administers, and

The Carlist Qnotidienne is equally indignant,
though for a different reason :
" The grand conspiracy announced was so probable,
and had broken out :A) apropos, that every one was, with-
out doubt, at the windows to see it pass. In. the printing-
offices of the good press there had certai.nly been com-
posed beforehand the consecrated phrase, • The discovery
appears to have rendered the position of the Govern-
ment stronger,' or this, They find in them (happy
words of M. Dupin) that they only draw closer the
ranks of the Conservative party. But a sanguinary
conclusion is always required in regenerated Spain to
these odious intrigues. ScarceFv has a new military idol
been raised up by the sad imitat ors of the Praetorians of
the Bas-Empire, when all watt h for the sun which is
soon to arise. The young gee eral whom the public in-
tinct designated as the near 3st hero or the nearest
victim--inevitable alternative-- -was Prim the new Count
of Reuss. His turn was about to come on, and the end
is hastened. He might have s L fortune similar to that
of Narvaez against Espartero.. The fate of the unfortu-
nate Diego Leon is prepared for him. What matters a
sanguinary stain the more, if :the madmen of the Mode-
rado party disgrace the Gove,Tament some days longer—
if what is called Constitution: Ist reform is voted by accla-
mations of fear—if they are IA liberty to afford an ap-
pearance of satisfaction to the French dynastic interests,
a real satisfaction to the nati. )nal interests of England ?
A strong moral presumption veieus on Prim. It is the
Debats which very coolly sa) 's so. We recommend the
French Opposition to well cot isid 'er this system of moral
presumptions. It is pregnant wit h the future, once that
the Bastille constructions shall la ave been completed."

FLANDERS MAIL.

Lord Westmoreland, Envoy Extraordinary and Mi-
nister Plenipotentiary of the Queen of Great Britain to
the Prussian Court, arrived at Brussels the day before
yesterday, from London, on his way to Berlin. Soon
after his Lordship's arrival here he paid a visit to Count
Goblet, Minister of Foreign Affairs, and to Mr. Van
Praet, member of the King's household. His Lordship
set out yesterday morning for Cologne,
Madame lola de Saint Elme, authoress of the " Me-
moires d'Une Contemporaine," has, for some years past,
resided at Brussels. After a life formerly brilliant, and
always agitated, she is now, towards the close of her
career, abandoned by her former friends. She is now
seventy-five years of age. Her face retains some traces
of her former beauty, and the various scenes in which
she has been a witness and an actor are still present to
the imagination. A noble family, feeling au interest in
the state of destitution to which she is reduced, and
seconded by her Majesty the Queen, has made arrange-
ments by which Madame Saint'Elme will find an asylum
in a hospitable family at Brussels.

KINNERSLEY, AN ()OFICIAL ASSIGNEE, V. CROUOIt.
Mr. CROWDER moved for a rule to show cause why
the verdict returned for the plaintiff in this case should
not be set aside, and a non-suit entered, or the damages
reduced to such a sum as the Court should direct, by
leave of the Learned Judge who tried the use.
This action was tried before Ma. Justice Patteson at
the last Bristol Assires, when a verdict was returned for
the plaintiff for 153/. 13s. It was an action for money
had and received on account of a bankrupt named Brown,
who had carried on the business of a currier in Bristol.
The defendant was Brown's foreman. On the 28th
of October Brown left his shop for the pur-
pose, as he alleged, of going to Cheltenham, but
he never returned to his shop. It appeared that he
went to Cheltenham, as he stated, but that he ultimately
left this countay. A fiat of bankruptcy was issued
against him on the 9th of November following. Crouch
conducted the business of the bankrupt from the time of
his leaving it till the issuistg of the Lee.- The ese‘on
for money received by Crouch, on account of the de-
fendant, during that time. An account was produced at
the trial, in which the defendant debited himself to the
amount of 1531. 135., and tor various other sums, on
account of the business of the bankrupt, and to the work-
men employed in it. The Learned Counsel had con-
tended at the trial that the defendant acted in the capa-
eity of a servant, and that he did not come under
the cognisance of certain sections of the Bankruptcy
Act, and could not be answerable for money which he
had received and paid on account of his employers. He
now reiterated these arguments, and instanced the case
as one of considerable importance to the mercantile
world. Was a servant to be liable for moneys so paid,
and for the acts of a bankrupt, of whose actions and
intentions he was wholly ignorant ? The decision of the
jury seemed to imply that the defendant was placed in
the position of the bankrupt
After considerable discussion, the rule was granted.

duction of documents contained in the schedule to the
answer, and admitted to be relative to the matters con-
tained in the bill. Amongst the documents were a case
submitted by the defendant to his counsel, and the
opinion thereupon. The defendant had submitted to
produce the case, but resisted the production of the
opinion; and the only question upon which he was called
sipon to exercise his judgment was whether the opinion
should be produced or not. According to the admissions
in the answer, and to the issue in the cause, there could
be no doubt that this opinion might be material to the
plaintiff's case, and the plaintiff, therefore, would,
prima facie, upon the general principle, be entitled to
have it produced, unless the defendant had; shown by his
miswer that the document was privileged. If his answer
showed that, it became unnecessary to consider whether
the document might be material or not to the plaintiff's
case, in either case it would be protected. It was
stated by counsel in the argument that Lord Langdale
had lately decided a case, in which he stated
that he considered the opinions of counsel as not en-
titled to privilege where it appeared that it might be
material to the plaintiff's case. On referring to the case,
however, which was that of Robinson and Wright, it
appeared that Lord Langdale recognised the authority
of the cases which determined that such documents were
generally privileged, and that he afterwards carefully
excepted the documents that fell within the scope of the
decided cases which established that principle. That
case, therefore, left the authorities precisely where they
stood before. In order to avoid the repetition of his
own opinion on this subject, he would refer to the case
of Lord Walsingham against Goodrich. He remained
of the opinion which he then expressed, that while the
state of the law rendered it impossible that parties should
be their own lawyers, and act without professional ad-
vice ; it was indispensably necessary that the privilege
conceded to professional communications should be main-
tained, at least to the extent to which it was at present.
He had looked into the bill and answer in this cause, and
by the answer it appeared that the opinion in question
was taken after the dispute had arisen which was the
subject of the original and cross cause then before him,
and that it was taken for the purpose of obtaining the
opinion of counsel for the guidance of the parties in re-
spect to that very suit. There could not be in his judg-
ment any doubt that an opinion taken under such cir-
cumstances was privileged at the time when it was
taken ; and he thought it clearly retained its privileges
in that suit. He gave no opinion as to the obligation of
the defendant to answer any particular charge in the
interrogatories. His present judgment was confined
exclusively to the production of the opinion itself.

BAIL COURT.—(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings in Banco.)

IN THE 11ATTER OF CHARLES CARUS WILSON-APPLI.

CATION FOR A HABEAS CORPUS.
Mr. PEACOCK, in this case, applied for a writ of habeas
corpus, directed to John Kanditch, the gaoler of one of
the prisons in Jersey, commanding him to bring up the
body of Charles Carus Wilson. Mr. Wilson went to
reside in Jersey on the 23d of September, and was shortly
after arrested and imprisoned. Ile stated that he was
advised, and verily believed that his imprisonment was
illegal, and applied several times for a copy of the war-
rant under which be was arrested. The gaoler told him
he had no such document, but on the 29th of September
he brought in a paper and left it in the deponent's cell,
which stated that he was condemned to pay a tine of 104
to her Majesty, and to make an apology to the Court for
contempt. This did not state what the contempt was,
what the Court was, nor to whom the apology was to be
made.

Mr. Justice PATTESON asked what the Court was ?

Mr. PEACOCK replied that he believed it was the Royal
Court.—Application granted.

COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS I)AY.)
(Sittings in Banco.)

HUNTER, APPELLANT ; THE TOWN CLERK OF WEN-
LOCK, RENWOMMMISIN _ _

Mr. KEATING applied to the Court under the 6th and
7th Victoria, c. 18, to remit to the revising barrister the
case prepared by him in reference to a decision come to
during his revision of the list of voters for the borough
of Wenlock. The application involved an important
question as to the appellate jurisdiction of this Court
over the decisions of the revising barristers. The appel-
lant alleged now that in the statement transmitted to the
Court by the barrister, facts had been omitted which
were essential to the care. He had applied to the bar-
rister to insert those facts, but the Learned Gentleman
refused to do so. Mr. Keating now moved their Lord•
ships to remit the case, with the order of the Court for
the insertion of the omitted facts.
Mr. Justice COLTMAN said, perhaps those matters
which you aver to be facts, were not proved to the satis-
faction of the revis:;2s barrister ?
Mr. KEATING said thisn was not the case. But the
barrister said they were not fiterial to the case ;
whereas the appellant maintained that ..2.103' were so.
The Logs CUM' JUSTICE said that the t3%-;lrt might,
perhaps, send back the statement for the insert; O of
facts, which, after hearing the appeal, they might deem
to be material. But they could not interfere as to those
matters at present.
Mr. MUTING was preparing to proceed with his ar-
gument, when
The LORD CHIEF JUSVICE said, that the object of the
application was to put the Court in the place of the
revising barrister, whereas their Lordships were re-
quired to decide upon the statement made by the bar-
rister. If, upon the hearing of the appeal, they found
any insufficient, they would send back the statement to
have the insufficiency supplied ; but they could not an-
ticipate the hearing of the appeal.
The other Judges concurred, and the Court refused
to interfere.

COURT OF REVIEW-( THIS DAY:)

His Honour Sir J. K. BRUCE was engaged during the
day in disposing of bankruptcy cases, none of which pos-
sessed any public interest.

BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Commmission GOULBURN.)

THE DRAPERY TRADE.-IN THE MATTER OF ROBERT BAN•

NISTER, OF PORTSEA.

The bankrupt, whose capture in the island of Madeira,
and examination at this Court, had excited such interest
in the commercial world, was again this day brought up
for re-examination.

Mr. EDWIN JAMES, before proceeding with his exami-
nation, briefly recountered the facts of the case to the
Court. The bankrupt, he stated, had delivered a balance-
sheet which was perfectly untrue, and it bore internal
evidence of its fictitious character. The bankrupt had
been in business with his brother, and, upon dissolving
partnership, he withdrew 7221. as his share of the proceeds.
He then commenced trade again in Portsea in the
month of April, 1844, and the fiat of bankruptcy was
issued on the following July. He had in those four
months got goods to the value of 17,690/. 9s. 4d., and
had disposed of them again for 11,3211., thus alleging a
loss of 4,8791., or 43 per cent. Among other sales effected
by him in this period was one to Moses and Son, of Ald-
gate, of goods valued at 1,0401., but which they pur-
chased for 2691. 3s. 3d. Another sale to Hedge and
Lowman, of Regent-street, of goods invoiced at 2001.,
and sold for 100/. The purchase was however
denied by that firm. A third sale to a person
named Williams, of goods valued at 2451., was effected
for 1401. The bankrupt's expenses, during the period
he was in trade, amounted to the enormous sum of
1,9001., being an average of 2001. per week. He (Mr.
James) was happy to state that a sum of 3,500/. had
been rescued from the bankrupt, bis wife, and a person
named Quin, who was a sort of general vouchee, in
cases of sales and purchases. He (Mr. James) would
not enter into details of matters which would be ren-
dered sufficiently Blear by the bankrupt's own examina-
tion, and he would therefore at once proceed to question
him upon the subject of his schedule.
Mr. JAMES—What amount of goods did you sell to
Moses and Son, of Aldgate ?—The amount stated by me
already, 1,0401.
Mr. JAMES—What amount de you mean to say you
received from them ?—For one lot 2001. and for ano-
ther 180/.

QUEEN'S BENCH.—(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings in Banco.)
ADDIS V. GARDINER.

This was an action brought against an attorney for
negligence in investing a sum of money belonging to the
plaintiff, in consequence of which the money had been
lost. The action was tried at Liverpool, before Mr.
Justice Cresswell, and the jury found for the plaintiff.
Mr. KNOWLES now moved for a rule nisi for a new
trial, on the ground that the verdict was against evidence.
The declaration alleged in the usual manner that the
defendant had been retained by the plaintiff as an at-
torney for fee and reward, and that he had neglected
his duty. The pleas were, first, not guilty, and,
secondly, that the defendant had never been em-
ployed as an attorney, The plaintiff was an artist,
who had received many acta of kindness from
defendant, who had been a patron to him
for years. In February, 1840, the plaintiff wrote to the
defendant, asking him to invest about 2001. for him,
which he had saved from his earnings. The money
was lent to a person named Baines, to whom the defend-
ant had subsequently lent 200/. Baines father was
joint security with himself fir the repayment of plaintiff's
money. The younger Baines died insolvent, and the
elder Baines gave up his property to his creditors, which
only yielded six shillings in the pound. He moved to
set aside the verdict, on the ground that there was no
evidence whatever to show that the defendant had ever
been retained as an attorney. There was no bill of costs
put in—there was no proof given of any payment of
tees from plaintiff to defendant, and all that appeared
on the trial went to negative such a supposition.
Lord DENMAN—You had better hand up the letters
which passed between plaintiff and defendant, and we
will see my brother Cresswell on the subject.

Mr. JAMES—WiII you swear that you received more
from them than 2691. 3s. 3d. Will you swear after look-
ing at these invoices thatyou receivedmore ?—I thought
there was more, but unless there are other receipts this
must be the amount.

Mr. JAMES—Do you mean to represent that the goods
you sold to Moses and Son for 269 L 3s. 3d. cost you
1,0401. ?—I should say not, decidedly not. They cost
about two-thirds more than they were sold at.
Mr. JAMES—What do you believe they cost you then?
—About 7501.

Mr. Commissioner GotrizußN—What induced you to
put down a different sum then?—l have given up every
farthing, and made the best statement I could.
Mr. JAMES—Answer his Honour's question.—Those
amounts were correct to the best of my memory.
Mr. JAMES—What made you fix on 1,0401. for Moses
and Son ? What was your particular reason for so
doing ?—I believe to the best of my memory I thought
it correct.
Mr. JAMES—You have put down to Hodge and Low-
man goods costing 2001. at 100/. When did you make
that sale ?—Either in May or June. The goods were
not invoiced in my name, and they have therefore denied
the purchase. I sold them in the name of Williams,
which is a fictitious name.

Mr. JAMES—Did you take the goods there ?—Yes, in
a cab, which I took only to Oxford-street, and the goods
I took into their place in separate parcels.
Mr. JAMES—Do you mean to swear, then, that these
goods cost you 200 L, and that you sold them 50 percent.
under cost ?—Yes, I should think there was a loss of
50 per cent.
Mr. JAMES—You have charged in balance sheet sales
to a person named Williams of goods which you say cost
you 245/. Who is Williams ?—I believe he was in the
drapery trade, but I cannot say where he is now.
Mr. JAMES—When did you sell him these goods ?
In June of this year.
Mr. JAMES—Where did he live then ?—I do not know.
I met him in Cheapside. I had met him before. He
had lived in Birmingham some years before.
Mr. JAMES—Where did you effect the sale P—When
I met him I said, I've got a lot of goods for sale ; and we
went in a cab to the wharf, got the goods, and went to a
public-house in Oxford-street. I left the goods, and
met him at three o'clock, by appointment. He told me
that a hawker had given him an offer for them. I ac-
cepted the offer, met him again, and he paid me the
money.
Mr.JamEs—Where did you meet him again P—At the
house in Oxford-street, where the goods were sold. I
do not know the house, but it was on the right hand
side going westward, between Tottenham•court road and
Regent• circus.
Mr. JAMES—How much did he pay you?—To the best
cf my knowledge, 1051. I gave him no receipt.
Mr. JAMES—How was the money paid ?—ln Bank of
England notes and gold.
Mr. JAMES—In what part of the house were the goods
sold ?—ln a private room.
Mr.Jamits—W hat did you do with the money?—Took
it t) Portsea.

mouths before.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.
(THIS DAY.)
(Before the ASSISTANT-JUDGE and a full Bench of
Magistrates.)
John Smith, dressed as a mechanic, and John Stevenson,
a most respectable looking young man, were indicted for
stealing an umbrella, the property of Hugh Garden.
The evidence went to prove that both the prisoners
were observed to go into the house of the prosecutor,
about night-fall, and Stevenson take the umbrella, which
he threw away upon being pursued.
The jury acquitted the prisoner Smith; and, having
found Stevenson guilty,
The Learned JUDGE expressed his regret at seeing a
person of the prisoner's acquirements and previous
respectability in such a degraded and melancholy posi-
tion ; however, the law should take its course. The
sentence of the Court was—that ho be imprisoned, and
kept to hard labour, in the House of Correction, for
three months.
John Perry, aged 13 years, who was found guilty of
felony at the last sessions, and judgment deferred for
inquiry, was brought up this morning, and sentenced to
be transported for seven years.
Henry Smith was found guilty of stealing a coat from
Mr. J. Wells, into whose house he was admitted for
charity, he being at the time in the utmost state of des.
titution.
The COURT sentenced him to be transported for seven
years.
A very old and respectable-looking man, named John
Williams, was indicted for attempting to break into the
house of Frederick Barry.
The prisoner pleaded guilty to the charge, and stated
that he must have been out of his senses at the time he
made the attempt, for he could make no other excuse for
his conduct.
The COURT said, in consideration of the prisoner's age
and previous character, it would inflict but a light
penalty. The sentence of the Court was that he be im-
prisoned for two months, with hard labour.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
(THIS DAY.)
James Ryan, between 40 and 50 years of age, one of
the waiters at Hawkins's Hotel, No. 29, Albemarle-
street. was placed at the bar, charged on suspicion of steal-
ing a letter-case containing a 101. Bank of England note,
about 201. in gold, two gold pins, a gold pencil-case,
and other articles, the property of Captain the Hon.
Dudley Worsley Anderson Pelham, R.N. It appeared
that the prosecutor arrived in town from Yarborough,
Lincolnshire, on Thursday evening last, and put up at
Hawkins's Hotel. He was waited on by the prisoner,
who unpacked, by his directions, a
.portion of his bag-
gage, in which was the writing-case in question. On the
following evening, the prosecutor having occasion for
some money, made a search for the case, but could not
find it. He questioned the prisoner about it, but he
denied having seen it. Not feeling quite confident that
it had been packed with his baggage, he wrote home,
and last evening received an answer that it had
been placed in a carpetbag, which was a part of his
luggage the prisoner had opened. Under these circum-
stances he made application at the police-station in
Vine-street, Piccadilly. and Sergeant Gray, No. 10 of
the C division, was immediately engaged in investigating
the matter. The constable by dint of much perseverance
succeeded in discovering that the prisoner, who was
known to be without money lately, had since Friday
been very flush of cash, and that he had discharged
several small debts he had incurred in the neighbour-
hood. On Friday night he absented himself from the
hotel without leave, and returned at two o'clock on
Saturday morning very much intoxicated. On Saturday
he applied for his wages, which, however, were not paid
him, but on his being closely questioned by the con-
stable, he admitted that he had on Sunday night inclosed
to his wife, living at Bath, 13/. in money, adding, that he
knew nothing of the prosecutor's property.
Mr. HARDWICK asked the risoner if he wished to say
anything in answer to the charge ?—The prisoner said
he was quite innocent, and could prove by respecta le
witnesses that he had between thirty and forty sove-
reigns very lately in his possession.
He was remanded until this day week.

will take his seat on the bench. The elevation of Mr.
Erle to the vacant judgeship will not make any altera-
tion, or create any vacancy on the western circuit, to

ceased going the circuit for the last two years, although
he held no official situation except upon a special retainer.
