EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.)

(Sittings at Guildhall, before the LORD CHIEF BAaox and a
Special Jury.)

REDMAN V. HAY.

The hearing of this case, which occupied the Court a great
part of yesterday, was resumed this morning. It was an ac-
tion to recover on a policy of insurance effected with the In-
demnity Assurance Company on the freight of the barque
Lerd Wellington. There was no point of interest in the facts
of the case, the whole question turning on the terms and
conditions of the policy, and as to whether or not they bad
been complied with in the navigation of the ship. After
some discussion between the Chief Baron and Counsel (Mr.
Martin and Mr. Tomlinson) as to the form of the verdict,
the jury were directed to find for the plaintiff, with da-
mages, 1,5221.

ALEXANDER O. PRAT!.

This cause was similar to the last, being an action brought
by the plaintiff to recover a sum of 3,0001. on a policy of
assurance, granted by the General Maritime Assurance Com-
pany, on the barque Cecilia, 325 tons admeasurement. The
particulars of the case had not been elicited when our report
was sent off. The case is expected to last the whole day.

COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings at Guildhall, before Mr. Justice CltEsswJLL and a
Special Jury.)
NICKELS V. lIASLAM. - _ .

This was an action to try the validity of a patent of certain
machinery, invented to facilitate the carding of cotton. The
whole matter, as far as it had proceeded, was of the most
dry and technical character, possessing not the slightest in-
terest to the general reader. The case was not expected to
conclude until a very late hour this eveniag.

BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Commissioner FANE.)
IN RE GRANT.
Wm. Grant, boot and shoe merchant, Swaffham, appeared
to pass his final examination.
The amount of the bankrupt's liabilities was originally
42/. 2s. 6d., for which ➢iessrs. Thomas and Co., of Friday-
street, put in an execution ; and the losses 'attending the sale of
the bankrupt's stock by auction, with the attendant expenses,
amounted to upwards of 1401.
The bankrupt was unopposed, and passed his examination.
IN RE WHITE.
The bankrupt, Jonathan Williams White, holds a situation
in the Court of Chancery, as clerk of accounts, with a salary
of 400/. per annum, which, however, in consequence of extra
duty, averaged during the last three years and a quarter 5001.
The amount of his liabilities were 692/., and he offered to
lay aside 100/. per annum to meet his creditors.
A few of those attended, and said that they would with-
draw their opposition if the bankrupt advanced his offer
to 150/.—He was finally put back to amend his schedule.

CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.)
OLD COURT.

(Before the RECORDER.)
Sharringtan Bach was charged with uttering a forged bill
of exchange, knowing at the time that it was forged.
The case has recently been before the public, when it was
investigated at the police-office.
The case was not sustained, the principal witness having
failed to satisfy the jury that the name to the bill was a
forgery, The prisoner was accordingly discharged.
This was the last case, and the Court adjourned to the 19th
of August.

The:remarkable article in the Moniteur, advocating
the right of the younger branches of the Royal Family
to State pensions, has excited a painful sensation
throughout France. It forms a subject of comment
in every Paris journal of Tuesday. Those of the
Opposition attack the Government, or more properly
speaking, the Severeio, in terms much stronger
'than any they have ventured to use Since the passing
of the geptember Libel-Laws; and even the Qoyern.
ment papers can say nothing in its defence. Never
g measure so universally exeprated. The Globe,
which is reel oned the organ of the Court, uses mere
generalities, which might refer to almost any subject;
and the Journal" des Debate ell 'nit condemns the
mode in which the proposal has been mAde. We
will not deny," it says, " that the sudden appearance
of this manifesto has somewhat surprised us, and that
wi have sought to digpoyer its object with a certain
degree of ijicitude. It is not th3t we are without
