The defendant in this sue been convicted of stealing from
the till of a shop in which he was employed, 61. at the last itemizes
for Devon. He was brought up yesterday for judgment, when
Counsel were heard for arrest thereof, being brought up to-day
again Counsel were heard in reply, and the Court were of opinion
that there were not sufficient grounds to arrest judgment.
Mr. Justice BAILEY then passed the sentence of the Court,
which was that the prisoner he transported for the term of
7 years. He was then removed from the bar.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS—(Tits Day.)
Before business commenced this morning,, the Cum' Junlce
announced the following order of Court:—
" It is ordered, that from and after the last day of this term,
in every cue wherein notice shall be given of justifying the bail
before put in, or either of them, the names and description of
such bail shall be inserted, and that it shall not be sufficient to

MARTIN r. LADY stooar.
In this case, which was tried after last Trinity Term, at 'West-
minster, an order was issued by the Court on the plaintiff, to
grant a release in favour of the defendant, and all claims against
her, as executrix of the late Lord Henry Moore, upon her paying
5001. within two mouths of the date of the miler.
Mr. Sergeant Sp.awksz, for the defendant, this dap stated, that
his client was perfectly ready to obey the order, but that, subse-
quently to its date, the plaintiff wished to introduce into
the release a discharge of eime transactions with the
Marquis of Drogheda, which had no earthly connection
with this cue. The Learned Sergeant therefore begged to move'
for a rule to chew cause why the money should not be paid on the
release ordered by the Court being,granted.
The Cmzr JUSTICE—Take a rule to chew cause.

COURT OF EXCHEQUEIL(Tins DAY.)
THE CUSTOM HOUSE.

TUE tiNO IR- !IMO:

it will be recollected by our readers, that this cause was tried
list term, and * verdict given of en. ism,e on the part of the.
Crown, and others on the part of the defendant. The first issue
on the part of the Crown WILS, that there was a stratum of gravel
on which the foundation might have been built.
This morning, Mr. Scasurr and Mr. DENMA N attended on
a rule to show cause why judgment should not be entered up for
the Crown. Mr. Searlett read the specification, and contended,
that it was no specification at all, that it only set forth that cer-
tain actions were to be performed at the direction of a sur-
veyor appointed by the Commissioners, consequently the
performance rested on the direction of the surveyor and not
on the specification. After some farther comments he added, that
on one.occasion Mr. Peto gave notice to Mr. Lang the surveyor,
that in his opinion, that piling was insufficient for, the foundation,
and that it ought to be projected on some other plan. Mr. Mang
however, returned fur answer, that they were to adopt oak piles
instead of beech. With this direction they were bound to comply
and did comply accordingly to the terms of the specification. He
also submitted, that by those terms the piles of the specified length
would not reach the stratum of gravel, therefore the issue given
for the crown was immaterial. He was arguing in • support of
this position when we went to press.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT.—Tuts DAY:
James Mash, who was brought up before on a previous day,
and was opposed by Wm. Wilberforce, Esq., was brought up
this day for judgment.
Mr. Commissioner Bowxst, before whom he was previously
examined, observed that the insolvent had very ungratefully en-
deavoured to gain farther credit, by film representations, after
having received great kindnesses from Mr. W.
He was for remanded six calendar months, at the suit of his op-
posing creditor.

Benjamin NM.,tilf, the Comedian, Was heard on his petition ; no
person opposed his discharge. The applicant stated, that the
cause of his insolvency arose from the destruction of the Royalty
Theatre by fire, and his having a wifa'and ten children.
The COURT said, that there was nothing objectionable in the
schedule, and in discharging the insolvent admonished him not to
appear there again.
