WARD OF FARRINGDON WITHOUT.

A meeting of the A Idermatt and Common
Councilmen of this Ward took plate at the vestry-room of St.
Bride's church yesterday, lin the purpose of investigating the
charges contained in a report of some proceedings which took
place at the Mansion-house in December last, respecting the
present state of Fleet-street. The ward and city officers were
summoned to give evidence, and the inhabitants bf Fleet-street
were invited to attend, and furnish every information in their
power upon the subject. Very few of the latter, however, were
present. In the police report referred to, it was stated that
Flect.street was the constant resort of thieves and prostitutes,
and the daily scene of hundreds of street-robberies, in conse-
quence of the number of public-houses open at 411 hours of the
day and night to harbour the depredators ; and it imputed the
continuance of this nuisance to the corrupt influence used by
the Common Council of the ward to prevent the proprietors of
those houses from being deprived of their licences,
From the examination of Mr. Brown, the Marshal, and
some of the inferior officers, it appeared, that although Fleet.
street, from its population, the number of manufactories and
g
printing establialiments it contained, the workmen of which
were kept up late, its situation lot a great thoroughfare to and
from the theatres, &c., and its propinquity to Fleet-market,
was of necessity mote infested by bad characters, and 'required
its public-houses to be kept open to a litter hour than other
parts not NiMittily. circumetanced
of the city ; yet, regard
being had to all these peculiarities of situation, it was rela-
tively not in a worse state than any other populous parts of
the metropolis. It was true that the Watchmen of St. Dim-
stan's, not being sufficiently well remunerated by the parish,
were neither as upright nor as active as they ought to he, and
the street-keeper of St. Bride's was a very .inefticient Officer,
whom, neverthelese, the inhabitants insisted on retaining in his
office ; anti therefore the street was not so well cleared of pros-
titutes and obstructions as it otherwise might have been ;• but
still it was better titan it formerly had been, and the ward SW.
thorities were determined to tate every means in their power
for pushing its improvement still thrther. With respect to
_the charge publicly made at the Man lion-house, upon the
conduct of the Common Council, as regarded the licences of
disorderly houses, it seemed to be wholly unfounded, as there
was no instance stated of a complaint having
Jeen made and
substantiated aainst a disorderly house, where the proprietor
was not duly admonished, and if the irregularity of his house
WAR persimted in, finally deprived or his licence. - Several vic-
tualling-houees, hawever, were tnentioned, ris remeining open
to a very Lite hour in the morning, and affording ,eirls of the
town an opportunity of taking a Klass of gin at the sbar. -After
a good deal of investigetion anti discussion, in the course of
which some of the inhabitants stated that Meet-street was a
very orderly street, whilst others alleged that it wait very much
the reverse, it was finally resolved that the statements made at ;

the Mansion.honse., and given in the-pollee report, were wholly
tab'e and gooundless. P.efore the conclusion of the business,
Alderman WAI Tit 2.1 A N ,'till, he thought it right to mention
the condition of the ward, as he remembered It, almost thirty
years ago. At that time he remembered Airs. 'Waithman was
robbed of six guineas at his own door. He wax himself fol-
lowed and attacked by a gang, one of whom nearly felled him
with a bludgeon on his attempting to interfere with him. The
Wheelers, and other well-known thieves, paraded the streets
openly. Officer* had been in his house watching the motions
of the thieves for days. He remembered, on one occasion,
having pointed out a gang to a magistrate, when, having oh.
served him, they came round -himself and his friend, and
abused him. '1 he 'Wheelers, and other adroit and experi-
enced thieves, were now removed, and it was olivious the state
of the streets had greatly improved, There was not one-half
of' the depredations committed, although the population had
greatly increased. With respect to a certain class of females,
it was an evil for which it was difficult to find a remedy. But
was this ward in a worse condition than others ? book at
CheaPaidet the Hank, and the Poultry ? They were there to
be found almost in stands like the hackney-coaches. When
he was Mayor, he made considerable efforts to keep. the tho-
feroughfares clear with respect to carts, waggon*, and coaches
This was one of the most serious evils, and was productive of
L.she most serious consequences to the retail trade of the city ;
and for this the shopkeepers were themselves to blame, in per-
sisting in keeping the carts and waggons and other vehicles so
long at their doors, and in not taking care to elect proper of-
ficers. Obstructions in the carriage-ways were productive of
obstructions on the footpath, and afforded facilities to thieves.

LAW INTFLIAGENCE.
VICE.CHANCELLOR'S COURT, JAN. 25.

MUNOZ v. DE TASTET.
In this case a demurrer came on to be argued. It appeared
from the statements in the plaintiff's bill, and as was admitted
by the defendant's answer, that a partnership was established in
the year 1813, between four persons residing at Barcelona, and
who were to carry on together the trade of merchants. Two of
these persons, whose names were Riva and Darjiz, were to be
the ostensible and acting partners ; the other two, Rosa and
Boson, advanced a share of the capital. and were to re-
ceive a proportionate part of the profits of the trade ; but their
names were not to be used, nor were they to take any personal
share in the business of the partnership. This kind of ar-
rangement waif said to he common amongst Spanish merchants,
anti persons in the situation of Messrs. Ross and 130f013 were
called dormant or anonymous partners. By the laws of Spain,
it was provided that such partners might at any time during
the partnership withdraw from it, and relieve themselves from
all responsibility by renouncing the share of capital which they
had advanced. At a subsequent period, Messrs. Rosa and
Bozon availed themselves of this power, and withdrew ; one of
the acting partners was drowned, and another died; so that the
partnership was altogether at an end. The affairs of the late
firm were then taken up by a public law officer of Spain, for the
benefit of the creditors, as is usual there, and M. Munoz, the
present plaintiff', was appointed by that officer as his agent to
recover property in England belonging to the firm. It was
stated that the house at Barcelona shipped a cargo of salted
provisions for Cadiz, which upon its arrival at the latter place
was sold by Rive, then resident there, and the 'proceeds, amount-
ing to about 5,0001., transmitted by him to the cortespondenes
of his firm, Messrs, de siastet and Co., to he laid out in the
purchase of British manufactures, and the present suit was in•
sdtuted for the recovery of that sum.
To this bill the defendant demurred, alleging that Rosa,
although he had withdrawn himself from the first, and re-
nounced his share in the capital, had nevertheless an interest
in the partnership affairs, because he had advanced a further
sum to the remaining partners. This, therefore, placed him
in the light of a preferable creditor of the firm, and as he was
dead, his representatives ought to have been joined as plaintiffs
in the present suit. The defendant, therefore, objected to
answer the bill in its present form, for want of proper parties.
After Counsel had been heard,
The VICE.CDANCELLOR said, that from what appeared on
the pleadings, the demurrer was s good one.- The claim which
the representatives of Ross might have on the defendant was
one wholly different from that made by the Spanish agent.—
The Court could not in this state of the case decree payment of
the sum which the plaintiff charged to be due, because another
plaintiff' might hereafter appear, and this difficulty could only
be avoided by the addition of Rosa'arrepresentatives.—The de-
murrer was therefore allowed.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JAN. 26.
THE KING V. JAMES STAMP SUTTON COOXE.
It may be recollected that the defendant In this ease was in.
dieted with his brother, Richard Stafford Cooke, James Rus-
sell Miles, and Richard Jenkinson, fbr a conspiracy to disquiet
Sir George Jcrningham (now Lord Stafford) in the possession
of his estates, to cut down Ida timber, and to tomb), rind defraud
his tenants. Richard Stafford Cooke pleaded in abatement
that he was Baron Stafford, to which the prosecutor demurred ;
the present defendant and Jenkinson pleaded " not guilty ;"
and Miles absconded. The record was sent down to trial against
James S. S. Cooke and Jenkinson, at the Olouceater Spring
Assizes in 1824, when the Jury acquitted Jenkinson, and found
James S. S. Cooke " guilty of conspiring with his brother,"--
The demurrer on the plea of R. S. Cooke was afterwards argued,
andjudgment given for the Crown, that ho should answer over
to the matter of the charge ; and he subsequently pleaded " not
guilty;" which issue has not been tried. Judgment was moved
for in Trinity Term, 1824, against James S. S. Cooke, but was
postponed from term to term on allegations that the defendant
was unable to attend in consequence of illness, until last term,
when Mr. CAMPBELL moved on his behalf for a. rule to shew
cause why judgment should not be arrested, on the ground that
conspiracy • was an offence which could not be committed by
one alone, and that Richard Stafford Cooke, for conspiring with
whom the defendant was found guilty, might still be brought
to trial and acquitted. '
Tao wTox and Mr. It ossiet r. now showed cause
aguinst the rule, and cited the cases of " The •King v. Kin-
nersiey," I Strange, 11i3; " The King v. Nicholls," IS East,
203; and " The King v. Thody," in the Year Book, 12
Henry VIII., as authorities to show that the mere possibility of
a joint conspirator being hereafter acquitted,• was no abjection
to the passing sentence on a defendant convicted. The jury,
when they found the party now before the Court guilty of con-
spiring with his brother, did not thereby negative his conspiring
with others ; and the offence was charged not only as com-
mitted in neeociation with the individuals named, but also
" with divers other persons unknown ;" a conspiracy With
others would sustain the finding. If the application were made
to the discretion of the Court Mr suspending the judgement, it
was of themost ungracious kind, for it would have the effect of
compellinu Lord Stafford to try the defendant's brother, in
order to obtain judgment against the party already convicted.
Mr. CAMPBELL, in support of the role, distinguished the
cases cited luau the present, inasmuch as in none of those cases
had die absent defentlant submited to process, and put his case
in a course of trial. Ile likened it to the 'eau of principel and
acceuory, where, though the accessory may, by his own consent,
be tried before the principal, no judgment can be passed on him
till the principal shall be convicted: Here Richard Staffbril
Cooke was, in contemplation of law, an Innocent Ilian he
might still be tried and acquitted; and in ease of ilia eequittal,
the present conviction must, of necessity, fall,
.and an, itog-
went pronounced on it would be erroneous.
The Coo aT were of opinion that the rule for arresting the

On the record on behalf of Richard Stallard Cooke till after the
wit: ilt,ilietztcrial to the present decisiee
conviction of the present defendant, the case stood as though
he had been indicted alone for conspiring with his brother.—
This was the charge tried ; on this charge the Jury found hint
guilty ; anti the Court could not presume against that finding,
dint Richard Staftbrd Cooke was innocent, anti might hereafter
be acquitted. The rule fur arresting the judgment must,
therefore, be discharged.
Mr

!Die -LORD ('nttrß jt;t4TICE asked if Mr: Campbell had
any application to niake to the discretion of the Court for Ittlll.

Mr. CAN; rn ELI. said he was not prepared with any affidavit
fir the purpose.
The Loan CH tEr usT ter. said the Court would give
him time to consider whether he would make any application ;

but, in the mean time, the defendant: muse be committed to the
' custody of the Marshal.
Mr. Cooke was then removed froth tht Court in custody.
COLEMAN V. SIMMONDS. •
Mr. MIOUGUAK moved for a rule to show cause why the
verdict obtained for the defendant should not be set aside, and -
a new trial granted. 'the cause was tried at the Sittings aftef
last term, and was an action to recover on n bill of exciumge.
The defence made out was usury, cod it appeared that a fo.
reigner named Delisle,wastoncerned in this transaction, tow.s
ther with a tailor named Aleego, who had endorsed the bill'ariti
one Coates, a &riper and mercer In St. Martin's-lane. ',vie
Learned Counsel now read an affidavit on the part of the plain
tiff, stating That Coates had declaied there vins'no usury in the
transaction, and that he (the plaintiff) had given a valuable eon.
sideradou for the bill, and knelt, nothing whatever of any
guilty with respect to it, art it had come into his hands ua the
ordinary course of business.
The CounT refused the role, and said that if the plaintifr
had given a valuable consideration for the bill, ho had his
action against Meago, the person by whom it was endorsed to
him,—ltule refused.

worn) v. woof 'en.
This was an action against Ain T. J. Worrier, whose name
has often been before the public. or the amount of a bill II f-
printing a work called Th f
The Meihtvitic4.' Chronicle. At the
trial before the Lord Chief Justice, in Middlesex, the defence
relied on was, that the plaintiff' was in partnership with a per
son named Keen. In support of this, evidence was given of
payments made by checks, in the name .of Keen and- 'Wood
and of transactions in which both acted ; butrMr. Keen denied
a general partnership, or a partnership in the subject matter of
the cause. The Lord Chief Justice left the case to the Jury on
the question of partnership, and they returned a verdict for the
defendant.

Mr. KELLY moved for a new trial, on the ground that the
Chief Justice should have informed the Jury that the plaintiff`
might be in partnership with Mr. Keen, in particular works,
and yet not his general partner; or that Ur. Keen might be a
dormant Tinner, in . either of which cases !Ir. Wood might)
sue alone.N

The Cciun'r thought the evidence fully supported the ver.
diet, and refused to disturb it.
