LAW INTELLIGENCE.

VICE-CHANCERY, WESTMINSTER—(Tntoi DAT.)
IN THE MATTER OF POMROY, A BANKRUPT.
• Mr. WILLIAMS appeared in Court, and stated, that
in this matter an issue had been directed by his Ho-
nour, to try the validity of the act of bankruptcy of Mr.
Pomroy. The issue went: to trial in Devonshire, and
the Counsel on the other side, learning that a witness
under examination cotird,nottjak-tO the petitioning
creditor's debt (amountn4to iipwards of 2,0001.) ex-
cept from books which Werq Court, adroitly ob-
jected to the witness giving elidence of the debt, which
objection the Court, On being pressed, allowed.—
The trial of the point, therefore, which this Court
meant to be tried, -had been entirely defeated. The
result was, that he (Mr. \V.) was .under the necessity
of praying his Honour to have 'the goodness to apply
for the Learned Judge's ifotes, who tried the issue,
that proceedings for a new trial might be adopted.—
Mr. Williams was not conversant with the practice of
this Court, but he believed his clients would be under
the necessity of presenting a petition, laraying for a new
trial, the matters in dispute being in bankruptcy.
His HoNoun observed that; a petition would have
to be presented, and Mr. Williams" client would do
well to present it, praying alternelkfy; that the Court
would order a new trial, or makelitie decree as origin-
ally asked for ; and upon the fact,. as had now been
stated, being proved, the Court would not grant a new
trial, but would act as it should think fit, without any
regard whatever to the verdict obtained upon a point,
raised evidently to defeat the intention of this Court.

COURT OP KING'S 'BENCH--(Tiffs DAY. )

assault at the last Assizes for Bedford, before Judge
HOLnOYD, was brought up this day for judgment,

MOVING PANORAMA, ST. MARTIN'S-LANE.

Of this very ingenious specimen of the illusive power
of the pencil, in the panoramic province of the graphic art, we
should have much to say did our space permit. At present we
can only observe, that the fourteen different Views it pictures
to us are executed with very considerable skill ; that its eminent
English anti Greek Artists, on a surface consisting of 20,000
square feet, presenting successively more than 10,000 figures,
have exercised their talents most effectively ; and that we find it
difficult to conceive how more animated and impressive represtit
tation of the " Defeat of the Turks by the Greeks," and tlet
" Storming of Seringapatam," could have been produced by the
powers of painting, than those we have witnessed at this Exhi.
bition.

DRURY-LANE THEATRE.

On Tuesday the tragedy of Brutus, with a divertiae-
meat called eAe Camp, and the farce of Turn Out, were an-
nounced as the entertainments for the evening. Mr. PELDY, who
recently appeared at this Theatre in the character of Hamlet, under-
took the arduous part of Lucius Junius. • Nis representation of
it certainly did not come up to what we had expected after see-
ing him in Hamlet : nevertheless he was highly respectable.
After he had thrown off the assumed character of the idiot, the
thought of revenging his country's wrongs appeared to animate
him ; and although his oration over the dead body of Lucretia
was not what we should have altogether wished it to have been,
still the interview with and conderrination of Titus, showed that
the actor had redeeming qualities. The conclusion, where he
gives the signal for the execution of his son Titus, was admira-
ble; and the curtain fell amidst the enthusiastic applause of the
audience.

At the conclusion of the play, Mr. Mercer (we believe) cams
forward to announce the performance for the following evening;
but the loud applause and repeated calls for Mr. Pelby were au
great, that he could notobtaiu a hearing. The overture to the ballet
then commenced, and the curtain rose for its performance ; but the
call for Mr. Pelby became again so loud and universal, that at length
Mr. Wallack came forward, and, after in vain attempting to be
heard, was about to retire, when silence being partially restored, he
turned round and said—" Ladies and Gentlemen, am I to understand
that it is your wish that Mr. Pelby should appear before you ?" Ile
was answered by loud cries of " Yes, yes," and applause. Mr.
Wellack then retired, and shortly after returned and claimed the
indulgence of the audience to allow the billet tO-lireee6d;
that, at the Conclusion of it, Mr. Pelby would be ready to 441 their
call. With this the audience were esti:died, and the ballet went on;
but at its conclusion Mr. Pelby did not make his promised appear.
ance; nevertheless all passed off quietly until the curtain rose for
the farce, and Mr. Horne and Mr. J. Russell made their appear.
ance, when considerable tumult arose, and loud cries for Mr.
Pelby again were heard. Shortly after which Mr. Pelby appeared,
and addressed the audience in the following words
• " Ladies and Gentlemen, this is an honour which I really did
not expect, and allow me again to repeat to you the sense of gra-
titude I feel for the manner in which I have been received in this
country. If it is your wish that I should again appear before you,
(cries of " yes, yes," " bravo," and.loud applause), then I must
tell you that is a question which rests entirely with the managers
If they are willing that I should do so, I assure you most sincerely
that nothing would give me greeter pleasure."
Mr. Pelby then retired amidst much applause, and the fares
proceeded.

SCIENTIFIC INTELLIGENCE,

We understand that Mr. AIRY, a celebrated Ma-
thematician a Cambridge, associated with several
other Philosophers, are about to undertake an 'experi-
mental investigation in some of our deeper Mines,
with a view to obtain a more accurate knowledge
of the density of the earth than has been hitherto
acquired.
A Patent has been lately taken out for converting
Iron into Steel, by the operation of carburetted hydro-
gen gas (gas light). In this case the carbon of the
gas is supposed to combine with the iron.

It appears, by an account published by order of the
House of Commons, chewing the application of all sums of money
granted last Session for the furtherance of Education in Ireland,
that the following sums were expended by the -reotpective Societies

NATTONAL GALLERY.

Mr. HERRIES presented a copy of the Treasury Minute au-
thorising the purchase of three pictures for the National Gallery.
On the question that it do lie on the table,
Sir C. LONG begged to say a few words in consequence of cer-
tain anonymous attacks' which had been made upon him. These
attacks he had no doubt. proceeded from persons who, having in-
vited him to look at pictures in their possession, had been disap-
pointed on hearing his opinion. The three pictures for the Gal-
lery had been purchased in consequence of the favourable opinion
of Lord Aberdeen, Sir T.. Lawrence, and Sir G. Beaumont, than
whom three more competent judges did not exist. He hoped that
purchases would be made slowly, and that none but pictures, of
distinguished merit would be admitted.
Mr. BANKES spoke in high commendation of the three.pic-
tUres, particularly that by Titian. The opportunities of acquiring
fine specimens were very rare. .He disapproved of purchasing col-
lections, as every collection holed yet seen contained some works
of inferior merit.

Mr. IL COLBORNE spoke to the same Act. lle antici-

neSs, attended by his Staff Officers, inspected the Bth Regiment of
Light Dragoons, previous to their leaving the KINO duty at that
station, from which' they are to be relieved by the 12th Regiment
of Lancers. The relief 'of the Bth Regiment takes place two months
sooner than the usual time, the regular period for such a station
being twelve months, which is occasioned by the unexpected re-
moval of the 10th Regiment of Hussars from Exeter.

Ten Regiments are to loave the Irish Establishment before July
next—four for the West. Indies, four for the East Indies and two
for Canada.

The Regiments now in Ireland, destined for foreign service, are
—the 10th, 11th, 15th, 19th, 22d, 29th, 88th, 78th, 84th,
and 86th. They are to he replaced by the depot companies of
Regiments on foreign service doing duty in Great Britain ;
as also of the respective cony:Mies of the 'Regiments above
stated, who remain on the home service for

the malicious destruction of dwelling houses ►n Ireland. .
Mr. HUME wished to know whether the laws of England
were not sufficient „to prevei4 such atrocities being committed, and
whether these ,laws were not applicable to Ireland ?
Mr. ELLIS observed, that there was a strange inconsistency in
the law of Ireland on: this subject. It was doubtless a felony to
steal or take from any house in Ireland to the amount of 55., but
if the party, as was. the case with the levellers in some parts of
Ireland, destroyed the whole dwelling-house, and swept it and
every thing in it away, the offence was no more than a misdemea-
nour.--(Loud laughter.)
After a few aemarks by Mr. V. FITZGERALD and Mr. Cult-
vEs, leave was given.

ANECDOTES AT THE • BAR.-!--At the close of a
case at, the recent Middlesex Sessions, Wherein-something like
perjury had been committed by a shoemaker, Mr. Adolphus said,
he knew of perjury. having been committed by 400 shoemakers
at a Middlesex election. They met ut the Magpie and -Stump ;
one went to vote !Or an experiment, and finding he passed, re-
turned to the society, and said, " 1)--me, I've opened the ball,
you may all get up and dance." This he himself proved in the
Court of King's Bench, and that they committed the perjury for
30s. a-piece. Mr. Phillips said he knew a man who went to pall
eight times at the Drogheda election; Seven times he succeeded
by altering his dress and his gait, and actually on one occasion
shaved his head. On the eighth time an elector said to him—:
" What, Dennis, are you Verne to Vote again ?"—" Oh ! no,"
replied he, " 11l not vote any more, for by J—a I'm tired -of it."

HOW TO OBTAIN A LOAN OF A FittEbitte—Sir
Richard Steele was in the habit of frequenting Batson's Coffee-

old Gentleman, who considered Sir Richard es a man of come,.
quence, and one to whom it was an honour to be known ; and,
amongst other things, made professions of friendship to him in
a pecuniary way. Sir Richard looked upon him as a sure friend
in the hour of distress, and having occasion for 2001., applied to
his friend for the loan of that sum with touch confideom, but
was much surprised at reeei'ving en answer, expressive of regret
that he was not able to comp!), with the request. Steele, bou,„
ever,
was not to be put off in such a manner, but gravely told
him, that as he had drawn from him the secret of his wants, be
would take care to prevent his having the power to expose them;
therefore, the alternative was, the money or a duel. The Oen-
tieroa,n was embarrassed for a time, but recollecting that it duel
Might deprive hint of all his money, ha consented to lend the
sum required, which Sir Richard took, and repaid at his own
convenience, but immediately cut his friend's acquaintance.

not the defendant ought to be at liberty to proceed at law ; but in

Mr. Arias HA Nt opened the pleadings.

damages ►inder the following circumstances :—The plaintiff took a
l►rise of premises in Chelsea, in 181 D, front the defendant, cove_.
minting not to exercise certain trades "therein mentioned; among
others, that of a brewer, without the consent of Johnson. Some
time after
.he bad taken possession, a Mr. Yates advised him to
set up a brewery; and, haring obtained the consent of the de-
fendant, in writing, for that purpose, he erected an extensive
hrtniing concern. After he had carried on the business for three
months, he .was served with a notice .of an ejectment by Yates.
who; being a stranger to the lease, the plaintiff paid no further at-
tention to it than handing • it over to the defendant.lt appeared that Johnson held the premises in • question
by lease from Lord Cadogan, tinder a covenant not to exercise any
trade there : and as the plaintiff had carried onthe-business of a
brewer, it was of course a breach of the covenant ; in consequence
the plaintiff was ejected, and brought this action to recover
datnages. The lease between the parties having been read, it ap-
peared that Johnson had covenanted only to guarantee to the
till quiet possession against hittiself, and all who should claiM
under him.
