L 441? REPORT.

COURT OF CHANCERY, AuG. 16.

EX PARTE RICKARDS IN THE MATTER OF NEV'S

BANKRUPTCY.

Mr.'CuLuty applied to the Court to supersede
the commission originally taken out against the
bankrupt under the following circumstance, tht
the bankrupt's real name wiis La Neve, when,in
point of faizt the commission issued under the name
of Neve, I,vicilout the predition of La. A second
commission was taken out in the right designation.
It was therefore prayed that a supersedeas might,he
had, direcling that the petitioning creditors; un the
first commission, should pay the costs of the ap-
plication. •
It was stated by Mr. MONTAGUE, that the father,
grandfather, and great-grandfather of the bankrupt
had, used the name of Neve, as did also the bank-
rupt; until' he arrived at muturity. The reason
that they had dropped the name of La Neve was on
account of the grandfather having fought a duel and
killed his adversary, when fearing diSgrace„the La
was. discontinued. The bankrupt, however, had
traded tinder the original name, and consequently
the second
.commission was legally correct.
The Lotto. CnAlccw.oa thought, under all the
circumstances, it would- be ton wuch to order a su-
persedeas with costs, but that it was.correcl to su-
persede the first commission for the reasons stated
without costs.

The Lady, whom the stated .yesretday having
been .exatnined tespecting the transfer of:cenain
stock into her :husba•.d's nanie (in which case the
Solicitor's. conduct ,vas animad►erted Upon by his
Lordship), appeared this •moiniug to give her con-
sent. His Lordship pointed. out to her, that he
could afford her no relief if she repented after she
had given her consent. The Lady declared that she
came before the Court with• the fun knowleuge of
the consequence, and was perte3ly sansfiel to
make the tiantfer, which the Court allowed her
to do.

EX-PARTE DONOVAN IN,THE MATTER OF KUNNETT

.
This was an application in the bankruptcy of Ro-
bert Kennett, a character, of some hotoliety. The
petition embraced an immense variety of matter,
and went to atled diderent parties, some of whomwere only interested in a 'single tiaosaetiou out of.
the .ast inultimde detailed in the petition.

After hearing Mr. HART at great length, in sup-
Pure of the yeti ion,

Tice LORD CH P r4cELLOR declared it to be-his opi-
nion, that it was so multifarious in its nature that
it could not 'possibly be entertained in its present
shape, as agiinst the prisons with tespett to-whom,
in one solitary transaction of Some magnitude; re-
lief was sought. Had relief been souL;ht, in such tl
case, by Kill, it must immediately have been
missed, on account of its muituarinus nature: His
Lordship Was bound to pursue a similar line of pro-
ceeding in a petition where g- lochs of the matter
was inapplicable to the charge made against the in-
dividual party, and hr., Of course, must, in defend-
ing himself, be exroSed to nine times more expence
than be ought regularly to incur. •His Lordship;
therefore. must, as to this patty, dismiss the peti-
tion with costs; without prejudice to an amended
peition 'on that specific. point. •
The petition, however, 'it was agreed should lie
over, generally. • • •

F-

PAWNBROKERS.—A case bf Some' importance to
pawnbrokers, and those connected with them, was
argued last week before. the Magistrates at Bow-
street. A laWnbroker; whose premises were re-
cently destroyed by fire; was sninmoned .to'shew
cause why he should not pay the'dhletence between
thereat value of an •article pledged with him, and
which had' been destroyed in the contiagrOon, and
the sum adually advanced on it at ,the tithe it was
pledged.—On the part of the pawnbroker, it was
contended, that be was not liable to makegOod loSs
by fire 'without a specific contrast for ti,at purpose,
and ins support of this reasoning, the rules regi.dating
the contrasts between pawnbrokers and the insur--
ance offices %titre produced, by which the pawn-
broker is required not to insute, his stock for its full
value, bUt only to the amount of the money actu-
ally advai ced by him upon the variOds articles in his
poise.ssion. After a full hearing, the Magistrate,
determined that the pawnbroker is not liable to make
good 'losses arising from fire.
CARLiAB, AUG. 4.—ln the course of this week
the Paivnbrokers in this 'city have been handsomely
scourged by a Mr. Stolewell, from London.. He is
a of great notoriety in the met ropolis, and has
waged open War -against the impositions of the
Pawnbwkers 'in all parts at the kingdom. There
are no less than 3000 infortnations pending at this
time before the Magistrates in ,Manchester;
,and
having received Mformation that 'in Carlise pledges
Were not redeemable according to the prescribed
allowance of the Ad of Parliament, he st.*t a de--
tachment of his, scOuts, who have 'pledged and re-
deemed a variety of aiticles
.within the last -fort.-
night, and, the Pawnbrokers unfortunately charged
more per centage than is allowed by law.. infor-
mations were accordingly made before' the Mayor,
and fines inflicted• on the, several a
offenders, to the
amount of tl2l. • Mr. Stolewell produced letter
from Mr. Colquboun, the Polite Magistrate, stating,
that he had been of infinite service in repressing
the shameful exaaions of Pawnbrokers. in London,
and that, by his vigilance and activity, he had ex-
hausted the Pawnbrokers' capital of 10,0001. which
they had exclusively-set apart to defend themselves
against ail law-suits and informations.

During the battle of Almeida, a Party of the
French were pursued into a plain by half a score
men belonging, to one of the English rifle corps;
the former had expended all their ammunition, and,.
in order to defend themselves, hurled a (leant ty of
stones at our countrymen, who, with the greatest
coolness; laid down their arms, and without
lay, returned the compliment,_ with interest. Thus
situated, a body of French. troops came up to the
as-
sistance of their comrades, when our brave fellows
retreated into a wood, from which, however, hav-
ing been reinforced, they shortly-sallied, and attack-
ing the combined body, they soon obliged them to
decamp.
