The Vter-Cusnort.f.cia in giving judgment in this use,
which had been discussed dryer . 104 said that
it was a question of great impoitiosoeto the public. It appeared
that the defendant in this case ha fl been indebted to the plaintiff
in a certain sum of Money, and that be aulpequently entered
into a partnership with 'Mr. *ilia, and atrePted $ bill in the
name of the firm, for the amount, owing to the plaintiff. The
question now was, whether the firm was liable for that acceptanre..
It had been contended on the part of the plaintiff, that as •the
transaction was bona fide on his side, he was entitled
to recover. But his Honour was of opinion, that
any security given by a member of a firm on his own private ac-
count, could not bind the other members of the firm with their
consent. The petition was accordingly discharged.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION-HOUSE.—(Tmts DAT.)

A girl named Rachael Nelson, who had the appearance of a
Jewess, applied to theLoanMATOR for a warrant against another
girl, for an assault. She represented that she had been severely
beaten by the defendant, who had received no provocation.
The LORD Mavoa—Of what religion are you ?
The Girl.—Religion. Why, by my father's side I'm a Jewess,
but I was brought up in a Christian school, and that is why she
has such a spite against me.
The Loan 14boron.—But religion is a matter of belief, and
you must believe on one side or another. Which are you ?
The can only say that my father was a Jew and my
mother a Jewess, so I suppose I am a Jewess.—(Laughter.)
The Loan MaYos.—You seem to treat a serious matter with
extreme levity; but the oath must be administered to you either
as a Jewess or a Christian. Now, which do you declare your-
self to be ?

The Girl.—Why, as I live with Jews I must be like them.
The Loan Mayoe, questioned her more particularly on the sub-
ject of her belief, but she said that she had worked hard and got
her living honestly, without troubling herself about the question,
on one side or the other. She said she should do as the good
people with whom she lived did.
The Loan Ma roit granted her a summons, but censured her
for her laxity of belief, and said that very little reliance could be
placed on her oath, which was without any foundation in religion
or belief of religious responsibility.
The girl declared she could not help it, for she had no means of
telling which was right.
An order of (diction was made out against an old black man,
72 years of age, for the maictenanee of a male bastard child.--
The mother, who is a jewels, is 42 years of age. The child
hears decisive evidence of its Ethiopian-and Israelitish parentage.
It was an extremely sprightly little Mulatto, and the old
fellow, who dandled .it in his arms, appeared quite proud
of the honours of paternity. Ilia wife, an old woman, who
came with him, showed no symptoms of jealousy or resentment
for his infidelity ; on the contrary, she paid great attention to his
"pretty one," and seemed well pleased with it.

Robert Ford, a notorious housebreaker, was brought up by
Daniel Riordan, a watchman, for having in his possession a crow-

proached the watchman in the strongest terms with having per-
jured himself at the Sessions, and with trying to swear away his
liberty, because he had a bad character. He stated that he was a chair
