LAW INTELLIGtNCE.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JAN. 1 t.

SilltlVE V. HORN AND ROBERTS.

The plaintiff, a coach proprietor at Northattip-
ton, brought his action upon two hills of ex-
change, one for 501. the other for 2351. accepted
by the defendants, who Were
.partners in a very
extensive stage-coach concern, carried on at the
White Horse Inn, Fetter-lane. The question was,
whether the defendants dissolved partnership in
July, 1812. It appeared that Roberts and Horn
made a publication in the Gazette,, by which they
dissolved partnership, and Roberts, for a compen-
sation of about 70001. gave up horses, coaches,
and stock to Horn. Early in the next year be
became a bankrupt, and the defendant took a
small sum as a dividend. He now sought to re-
cover the balance due to him, on the ground that
there had been no real dissolution of partnership.
The whole, it was contended, was a false and un-
due representation, calculated to give Horn pos-
session of the property, to the injury of the joint
creditors. The trial of this cause, which was
distinguished by conflicting testimony, continued
from ten in the morning till nine at night. The
Jury, after quitting the box two boors, found a
verdict for the Plaintiff—Damages 2871.

ADMIRALTY SESSIONS.

[Further Proceedings of yesterday.)

ALLEGED MURDER.

After a consultation of five hours, the Grand
Jury returned into Court with a true bill against
John Drake, Captain of the Chapman transport
vessel, and James Clements, a marine, fur the
murder of John M'Cartey, a convict on board
that vessel, when on its passage out to New
South Wales, and about fifty leagues off the island
ot Sr.. Jago.
Terence Kiernan, one of the convicts, was called'
by the ATTORNEY-GENERAL to prove the charge.
He in the first instance stated, that Clements,
after complaining of the noisy conduct ot the
convicts, fired. his piece ; after which he saw
M'Ardle lying dead. Ow his cross-examination,
he admitted that be and. some other convicts bad
broke their irons, and expressed his belief that the
shot came from below deck, while Clements was
above deck.
Examined by Mr. Justice Pena.--He was de-
signed by his father to be a priest of the Church
of Rome; "the Bible found was not his. Al-
though he heard Clements say he would " let
go," be did not see him point. the gun ; it was
too dark. He had nothing to complain of until
the 19th of April ; be was brought back to Eng-
land by Captain Gill. •
Thoinas Kelly and Michael Ward, convicts,
deposed as to a threat held out by Clements to
" let go ;" and that another convict, named
Ryan, had also been shot, and several wounded.
John Browne was one of the soldiers on board
the Chapman. The soldiers slept on their arms
for about six weeks, for fear of being murdered
by the convicts. Shortly after the ship left Cork,
the convicts to pick the
locks attemptsof ut.ehree
smhaipde by
; a sailor, named Crawley,
was put irons, after the 17th of April, and
kept so until the end of the voyage; two others
were kept in the same state ; they were all put in
irons for assisting the convicts with•tbiugs to pick
the locks below. Previous to the 28th of April,
the officers and crew were in a constant apprehen-
sion of losing their lives froth an intended rising
among the convicts. He recollected hearing
Francis Murphy, one of the convicts, confess that
a conspiracy existed among thetm After the fir-
ing had ceased on the 28th, witness went down
into the prison With others. Something like in

striiMents were found amongst the prisoners.
George Cook, a soldier on board, heard the
firing, and he was convinced there was a geperal
srising amongst the convicts. He was convinced
the firing saved the ship. The convicts cried out,
" fire away and be d—tj ; we want no quarter,
and will give none." He distinctly heat(' them
rush, and he had no doubt but the attempt. was
then made to break the bulk-head to get at the
magazine. He heard two convicts declare that

there was a conspiracy to murder the °dicers and
crew, and take the ship, and that it would have
been done the (lay after she left St. Jago, it the
Northumberland, one of his Alaje3ty's 74':, had
not hove in sight.

This closed the case on the part of the prosecu
on.

Mr. Justice PARK now observed, that there was
not a tittle of evidence against Captain Drake ;
he should not, therefore, think it necessary to l►ut
him on his defence, and it could be for the Jury
to say, whether, amidst inch conflicting testi-
mony on the part of the convicts, he ought to call
on the prisoner, Clements, for his defence.

The Jury immediately signified, that it was not
their wish to put hii Lordship to the trouble, and
pronounced the prisoners—Not Guilty.
'Fbe Learned Judge then took au opportunity
to eulogize the Government for blitsgiug the case
before a Public Tnbithal, and animadverted upon
the evidence of the convicts in terms severe, but
just and appropriate. The investigation lasted
trout two till seven fast night, at which hour the
Grand Jury returned a true hill of murder against
John Drake (the Captain), Alexander Delver, and
Christoper Bustard, arising out of the same cir-
cumstances.
The Grand Jury threw out a bill for murder
against two other persons ; but found a trite bill

against Thomas INl'Donahl, for an attempt to
violate young; girl on the high seas.
The Court was then adjourned till ten o'clock
this morning.

Myttneß.—Yesterday a Coroner's Inquest was
held the Queen's Head, Lower-street, Isling-
ton, before T. STIRLING, Esq. on the body of a
male infant, found drowned in the New River,
wrapped up in a coloured apron with two bricks
to sink it ; it was got out of the river with a rake.
The Surgeon who examined and opened the b,)dy
had no doubt but time deceased was born alive.—
The Jury returned a verdict of " Wilful Alutder
against tunic person or persons unknown.''
