In this matter, in which the Lbrd Chancellor decided yester-
day that the Com Mission should be superseded,
-Mr. Mato stated tbisloorning, that the parties were not in
Court when jiidgnient was pronounced, in consequence of his
Lordship having•tnade the order'a day before they expected his
Lordship would have been prepared; but .they certainly contider-
ed that they bud a right to ask for the costs. Mr•. Heuld's clients
were the assignees, and the Commission was superseded on the
application of a creditor, and the petitioning creditor under the
Commission.
His Loapstite could not give'coAtt to the Assignees out of the
Bankrupt's i,tute, when he Was superseding the Commission
as aping the Asi,49-kees:

Mr. Ilya tai did not expect the costs out of the Bankrupt's
estate, but he hoped the Court would order them to be paid by
the petitioning Creditor.
.flotitqa (eontro) lower knew any thing an irregulai as
this discussion, after judgment In ()nuanced.
Nft% hill further to submit, that his clients were now
willing to take an issue to try the validity of the Commission.
His LOKOSHIP was 'decidedly of opinion, that it was now too
late to apply for an issue ; and that, under the particular circum-
stances of this case, the Assignees were not entitled to their costs,
tither against '
the petitioning Cueditor, or any other person.

IN THE MATTFR OF WILKINSON ANII BANKRUPTS.

Mr. Hag's/ stated, that the bankrupts had carried on Winless
as warehoonemen, in Wood-street, London, and that both a &lan-
cl joint Coironission; anti a London separate Commission, want
in iidence against them ; that from various vireumatoneeti it had
been Mond necessary to take out those Commissions ; that no blame
attached to any one, and that. its one of the Commissions would have
to be strpersetletl, the present application was, that they shuuld both
.be superseded, and that the petitioned should be at liberty to take
Olt a London joint Commission,
Mr. KNIGHT was instructed to contend for the Manchester
Commission.

His Loansitte- thought it more proper to comply with the
prayer of Mr. Horne',4 petition, and made the order 'accordingly,
directing all: parties to be fully indemnified out of the bankrupts'
estate.

made. . •

Nlr. Royer!. thought it. would he adriaable to I►ave a list of the
motions again.
His Lottualitr'ohjected to this, on the ground that if there
were 60 ui 100 motions in the paper, though it wes utterly ink.
possible for such u number to be. heard on any day, yet for every
clay they were in the paper, Solicitora Ivould charge their 'clients
for attending.
His Lordahip was informed that Solicitors were always in the
habit 'of charging their clients for attending on motion days,
whenever they had motions pending, ►uecause they had to attend
whether they could get them heard or not, and it was impossible
for them to say 'when they could get them heard. '

His f.meostite had no .objection at all to such an arrange-
ment. fie regretted that notwithstanding there Were Midi a press
of business before the gain t, yet that for Several days past he
had been obliged to go away very early, in consequence of no one
being prepared to go on with any thing. He could do no more

room until comet e 1 were ready, and 41,, ~cant as they would--let

COURT ()V KING'S .I.l!wir 13.
ruD(ll EXT.

Mr: Anntrutts moved 'the judgment of the Court on William
Bryant, who bad !Agatha' guilty to an infortnationfor a libel on
Alfred Mii, which appeared in a sunday newspaper, called
(:)rnnrnii Synge, of which the defendant was printer and pub-
lisher. The offensive part of the paragraph, containing, the libel,
accused. Mr. Bunn of associating With William Diamond; the
manager of the Bath Theatre, who bad a propensity to unnatural

prictices, &v.
The affidavit of Me: Bunn was put in, denying having any con-
neetion at all with William Diamond, and alio all the allegatinno
knitained in the libel.

The defendant then put inn affidavit stating, that belted been
employed by sailluel Bamford Hamer, 'to become the printer and
publisher of the newspaper in question, for two guineas a week ;
that he never superintended the getting op of the paper, but
Merely attended it the office on Sunday mornings, to *ell it ;---
that he had never seen the libel in wiestion, • until he had been
served. with. a rule to alum (wise why tin information should sot
issue against hint ;-.7that he had elreatly suffered, and was as yet
auffering, imprisonment for a libel on Colonel Fitzhardinge tier-
keleY, which had 'been published in a previous number of the
lame paper, and that be had a large family; &c.
Mr. „Anoventis in 7aggravation of punishment said, that the
C‘iort was ingeniously called on to indict it severept-nalty fur a
i,;)01 '4O heiliells,, that be would not intailt their judgment, by say-
ing a word respecting the nature of it—he bad never heard a more
anclaclotte mockery than the 'muse which the defendant lied at
tempted to offer ; there was an. Act of Parliament which required,
that the names of the real Printer, and publishers of newspaper's,
should be registered at the Stamp-office, in ordor that they might
ha' rusponaible for the' publication of' libele. Yet the defendant
in the face of this Ad, came forward to say, that he Stood in the
shoes of another person, and that he, abiented. himindt when he
ought, to. superintend and prevent the insertion of any thing
liliellotts.
M. Jottx Wtt.t.tasts fur the defendant, said that he had
been pressed 14y the defendant to appear before their Lord-.
ships; hut he was sorry he Could afford no hopes of being of
vervicato ltim,,for ;since the time of. Mr. Erikine, it has always
been an unprofitable undertaking for Counsel to' address their
Lordshipm in mitigation of puthiliment. He could not attempt to
palliate u paragraph, which es a'men, he must emuleinn front Ida i
heart;' hut the Court would draw a ' ilbtinetion between what
was dune through malicious motives, VA what through inadvert-
ence; for the defendant swore that be knew nothing of the ;tura-
graph moil after its insertion; in addition to this, he exprestesl
bis contrition from the commencement, which he hoped Would
weigh with the Court.

COURT OF ADMIRALTY, Jura 13.
EALING-GROVE,—SVAIUF:N's WAGS.

Lord STOWELL gave his judgment in this case, which was a
named Carman, for wages due to him
'faiwseaalllrtl,;l,4e to Dominica, and which were with-
suiotnbarotu.oglllittrabeyt
up -
with-
held on the plea that he bad been guilty of insubordination and
drunkenness.
His batilshiP pronounced in favour of the seaman's claim, and
commented in rather severe terms upon the harsh treatment which
he had experienced in Dominica,- whore he had been imprisoned
for 75 days. The master of the vessel bail pleaded in his own
justification that 'he was obliged, in common with other masters,
to 'execute a bond, stipidating that he would leave no seamen on
under
penalty of 1,000/. This penalty,
hunreasonably high, and must greatly
seltiits orri Lotcalarttdsh his
departure,
conceived,
c alwee treasury ; for it was a matter of great difficulty
to prevent the escape of seamen, if intent upon such a step. Upon
the whole, his Lordihip was of Opinion that he should not give
the seaman more titan he was entitled to, by pronouncing for the
wages be ilaimed, and-the costs which he had incurred.
