HURST, ROBINSON, and Co.'a BANKRUPTCY.
A meeting was held yesterday morning before the Commis-
sioners at Guildhall, for the proof of debts under the Commissions
against Hurst, Robinson, and Cal as partners, and against Thos.
Hurst on his separate account.

Several debts were proved, and, among them, a proof was ten
dared of a debt of 19,000/. (as we understood), due to the firm
of Messrs. Longman, Rees, Orme, sad Co. of Paternoster-row.
It appeared from the statement of Mr. Lorraine, counsel for
Longman and Co. that a discovery having been made by the other
partners of that firm of Mr. Thomas Hurst having engaged in
some bill transactions in their names, for the benefit of the firm
of Hurst, Robinson, and Co. and without their knowledge, an
explanation took place between them, in consequence of which it
was arranged that Mr. Thomas Hurst should leave their firm,
and be paid the sum due to him on account of his capital share
therein. This arrangement tytissoowillis.stityieptio effect, but
Oonie time afterward the pricier. of Messrs: rongnian's house
hoard that there were 10,0001. worth of bills in circulatiqn,
drawn by Mr. Thomas Hurst iu their name on Hurst, Robinson,
and Co. and accepted by the latter. The bankruptcy of Messrs.
Hurst, Robinson, and Co. then happened, and the bills being
returned to Messrs. Longman and Co. were of necessity paid
by them. This was the debt, therefore, which they now sought
to prove.

The Attorney under the commissions opposed the right of
Messrs. Longman toprove the bills under the separate commission
of Thomas Hurst, on the ground that they were drawn by him in
virtue of his power as a member of the firm, and that as there
might be accounts between them, the balance against him could
not now be proved as upon the bills, but as upon an account
stated.

This objection was discussed at some length, and the Cotnmis-
sioners ultimately decided that the bills could not be proved ac bills
under Thomas Hurst's *state.

The proof of the debt WAS then received under the joint estate,
and that under the separate one postponed.

In the course of the examination, Mr. Orme, one of the part-
ners of Longman and Co., was asked, whether, by a clause in the
partnership deed, each of the partners were not precluded from
drawing bills without the privity and consent of the firm, and be
replied that there WAS such a clause. He was asked also, whether
the partners of the firm of Robinson and Co. ware aware of the
circumstances respecting Mr. Thomas Hurst, and he replied, that
in consequence of a recent conversation he had had with two of
them, he understood they were.

The proof of other debts was then proceeded with, an the
meeting adjourned.

AFFRAY WITH POACHERS,

(From the Leeds littelligencer.)
Au affair of a serious nature took place in the plantations of
Templenewsam, near this town, the seat of 'the Marchioness of
Hertford, on Monday morning. Four prisonets have been ap-
prehended, and were examined at the office of Messrs. Smith and
Moore, in this town, yesterday. Their names are Joseph Bainton,
of Leeds, sawyer; John Jackion anti John Nunns, glass.blowers,
Runlet ; and Joseph Smith, of Levis, pork-butcher. There are
two others of the name of Robinsmb brothers, one of whom re-
sided in Mabgatc, and the other at New-road-end, and who have
absconded. The following is thesubstance of the evidence given
by two of the principal witnesses examined before the Magis-
trates :

Thomas Phillips, assistaut gamekeeper at tesripletiewsam, on
Monday morning, the Pith of December, went out into the park
Ten pies belonging to the MarchionesseUffertford;
tweets one said two p'cleek ha consequence of beating guns fired,
and went in *Ara Ofpo!tehers with Thermo; Shaw, Robert Shaw,
John Shaw, James Pennington, Joseph Hebdin, and Reuben
Phillips. After they went out they heard more guns tired twelve
or thirteen times, in the north plantation of the park, whew the
firing ceased
,for some time, and then began in a plantation
called the old gravel walk, situate in the pleasure grounds. lie
and his party laid in wait for the poachers, and expected to bear
them fire again ; but afterwards pursued them across the park,
and met with them iu Edward Phillip 's close, and' went up to
them, when they swore that they would blow his brains nut (he
being the foremost of his party) if he did not stand back. lie
said, " Friends, mind what you are going to do." They still
persisted in the same language, and John Jackson then said he
would blow his brains out if he slid not stand farther back,
and put his gun up to his shoulder, pointed it, and
swore he would blow witness's brains out. During this time the
moon was shining bright, and Jackson, who was nearest to him,
was about five yards distant. Witness had a slog in a string,
which he let go at them, saying the word " altogether" to the
dog, and immediately the whole of the poachers, eight in number,
of whom Jackson was one, cried out, " shoot the dog," and isn
mediately a gun was fired at the dog by Jackson. One of the
poachers, dressed in a dark-eoloured coat, then fired at his (Phil.
lips s) party, which was returned by the keepers, wise followed
them, and found a spring-gun belonging to the Marchioness of
liertford, which had been seen a few slays before in the gravel.
walk plantation, near the spot where the poachers had been stand-
ing. lie also found three pheasants recently killed, and quite
warm, on the ground. lie saw one of the poachers have a pil-
low-slip upon his back, full of something, with which they got
away. Jackson had a velveteen dark-coloured jacket on, and the
witness swore to Jackson from his size, dress, and voice, being so
near him, and the moon shining so bright. The affray took place
between four and five o'clock.

John Pemberton Heywood, E 4., appeared as steward to the
Marchioness of Hertford.

The prisoners, Bainton, Jackson, Nouns, and Smith, were
committed to Wakefield House of Correction, to take their trials
at Wakefield Sessions. An application was made to admit them
to bail, which was refused by the Magistrates.
ANOTHER. AZTRAY.—On the morning of yesterday week, two
gamekeepers, in the service of Henry Simons, Esq. of Tyersall
House, near Bradford, were on the look-out in the preserve ad-
jacent to the house, where they observed nine or ten men, whom
they immediately followed and mune up with; one of the keepers
remonstrated with them, upon which the forenusit of the poachers
called to his companions, and said, " Bring that gun here ; we'll
shoot him." The gamekeepers turned reurul to leave the wood,
when one of the poachers fired, but without effect. The conduct
of the keepers, considering the inequality of the match, was firm
and temperate. A man in a wounded state has been discovered in
the neighbourhood, but there is sonic difficulty iu connecting him
with the present transaction.

The prisoner, in his defence, said, that on the night the pro-
'mentor alleged he was robbed, he on that morning went to:Rei-
gate, and remained there until eleven at night.
The Learned AIWA did not consider there was any evidence to
support the charge against the prisoner ; tl.ere was no doubt that
the prosecutor had been robbed, but he was mistaken as to the
identity of the person.
The Jury instantly acquitted the prisoner, and he was ordered
to be immediately discharge'.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

VICE•CHANCI?LLOR'S COURT.
PATTEN P. SMITH.

Mr. WILBKAIIAM moved for the payment of a sum out of
Court, to a Mr. Nathaniel Maori, to be by him divided among
the claimants under the will of the testator. The amount paid
into Court was 4,0001. ; but it had dwindled, by law calumets,
into little more than 2,000/. The above sum was left by the
testator, to be divided amongst such of his relations as were not
removed beyond cousins in the fourth degree. These amounted
to no lest a number than 248, giving between 9/.-and 10/. as the
share of each party intitled. As the expencee of individual ap-
plications of the Court would swallow up the entire fend, 108 of
the claimants had assigned their shares to Mr. Nason. The re-
maining claimants happened to be all infants; and the object of
the present application was, that his honour would grant the re-
quisite order, without the. appearance of the infante.
The Vrcr-Cnaricyr.Loa granted the order, upon condition of
security from Mr. Nason, that the money should be distributed
according to the direction of the will.
The Court rose at ten minutes btfure four o'clock for the
holidays.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, WasTsllt4rrsa, Dec. 22.
(Sittings before the CHIEF Junlce and Common Juries.)
sournint V. JOLIFFE.
This was an action in damages against the defendant, for re-
paration of -an injury sustained by the plaintiff's barge, in being
run down by the defendant's steam-boat, in the river Thames, on
the 17th of June last.
Mr. Wetherell, a barge-builder, valued the necessary repairs to
the barge after the accident, at 40/.
It was proved the plaintiff had paid fur the barge SO/. before
he made any repairs upon it.
William Seeker saw the defendant on the subject. This latter
thought 5/. enough for the injury done, which the plaintiff re-
fused to take. The plaintiff, however, offered, if he got 201., to
take the barge and acquit the defendant.
Robert Talbot bought the barge, in a broken state, for 15!.
Mr. Puller said the barge, before the accident, was worth forty
pounds.
Mr. Poi.t.ocK, in his address to the Jury, admitted the de-
fendant's liability to pay something, but contended that he had
carved out for himself the sure which, in his own opinion, would
indemnify him—namely, 20!., a sum to which the Jury ought
not to accede.
The Loan CHIEF Jusrius was about to sum up to the Jury,
when the Foreman said it was unnecessary, and after a little heal-
tation,:they found for the plaintiff, damages, 281.

COURT OF REQUESTS, SountwAnK, Drc. 22.
LOYD V. JIDNT.

This day Mr. Henry Hunt, the late candidate for Somerset.,
shire, appeared'as defendant in the Court of Requests, in the Bo-
rough of Southwark, to a claim made by a person named Loyd, of
Ms. for a die, alleged to have been ordered by Mr. Hunt, having
upon it the words " Hunt's Water-proof Paste Blacking, 62,
Broad-wall, London." The defence was, that Mr. Hunt did not
give the order for a die, but for a punch, and, therefore, as the
plaintiff had mistaken the order, Le might nut to recover the
amount of the charge.
Mr. Loyd on Thursday fortnight, called upon Mr. Hunt to re-
ceive instructions to cut a die for the purpose of labelling 'wine
small tin-boxes of blacking; and having received the order (a
verbal one), he a few days afterwards took home the die in ques-
tion. [lt was here produced, and handed to the Commissioners.]
Mr. Hunt then inquired how it was to be used, and on being told
that it could not be used except by means of a machine, he re-
fused to take it.

Mr. Hunt did not give the order, but his foreman, who bad
some acquaintance with Mr. Loyd, made the arrangement.. It
was, however, tiue, that on the plaintiff taking home the dia. he
(Mr. Hunt) refused to have it, inasmuch as it was not what he
wanted. The conversation that he had with Mr. Loyd,
.previous
to the die being delivered, was, that it was to he such an instru-
ment that would stamp the implosion very easily.
Mr. Hunt was not aware of the nature of a die, and he sap'
posed that it was to have been a stamp or punch. With respect
to what passed previous to the plaintiff's conversing with him, two
witnesses were now in attendance, who would satisfactorily prove
that the plaintiff had mistaken the order.
Thomas Davis described to the plaintiff what was wanted, with

a view of producing the improsion on the Of the is •
The article was to be a punch, and it was to hash sty Una* Oa*
a boy might make the impression. Witneseihd not *yr *knit
the pries, nor WAS he present whet the midst' spoke to the
plaintiff.

The wife of Davis was present when tbeeonyersatiatktgoit •
between her husband and Loyd, and she diskinctly abet
the *ailment was to be a punch.
The Nutt dismissed the case, being clearly of opinion that Mr.
Hunt's witnesses proved that`the order was gwsu for a punk.

CITY ELECTIONS.

TOWER, WARD.

lu this ward, the friends of Mr. J. W. Hall, the whartinger
seem determined to carry his election by storm, as Vail* the eu.
tire body of the old representatives. He is set forward as the re-
former of abuses with respect to port dna, and the contralti of
the corporation. At the close of the poll yesterday, the numbers
were--

Mr. *J. W. 11411, 110; Mr. skipper, 105; Mr. Drinbat',
102 ; Mr. Wright, 101 ; Mr. Noy, 'B9 ; Mr. Dixon, 88 ; Mr.
Stuart, 88 ; Mr. Robinson, 88 ; 41r. Smith, 87; Mr. Cawthorn,
88 ; Mr. Hunt, SI ; Mr. Howell, 72; Mr. Gorse, O. This
ward returns 12 nteinhers.

' Mr. HAKE, in returning thanks for the supper, ha- bad re.
coived,: conceived that the office of Common Councilman was one
which was to be exercised only for 111 months, and that, at the
expiration of that period the trust returned to the freemen inhabit.
ante. It has been publicly declared by one of the candidates, that
all the old candidates were united to pull together, to the eselu-
sion of any new one. This had been Writ° Mr. Dixon, awl Nu l
they were to bid defiance to the ward.....(Cries of " No, no.")
Mr. Dix never midway thing like it.:
Mr. say that words to that sleet escaped the lips of
that Gentleman, and I say further, that it was declared by others
of the Common Council, that such was the understanding
amongst them.—(Hear, hear.)—lfe declared
:that the port of
London had been managed in a most disgraceful manner by the
Corporation of London for the last century.—(Cbeers.)
Mr. Deputy SKIPPER returned thanks to the inhabitants
(whom he had not canvassed) for the station which they hid given
him on the poll.

Mr. CA 't;THORN, for one, humbly considered lighting and
watching, and protecting property at home, was a duty which
came before that which most men would exercise, namely—of
trying what could be got from abroad.—(Applause.)
Alr. ROBERT SMITH spoke with great warmth in reply to the
attack made on the Common Council, for neglecting the commer-
cial interests of the city. Redeclared, for himself, that be had
laboured for seven years to keep the commerce of the port to the
legal quays. In the same manner he bad opposed the forMation
of the London and St. Katherine's Ducks, which were injurious
alike to the ward, and to thy Citizens of London.

" No, no ;' not to the Citizens of London," exclaimed one of
the meeting.

Mr. then, to this ward. I hays always en.
deavoured to promote its particular interests.

Mr. Hats., in explanation of the alleged inconsistency of his
conduct, was far from being one of those 'mistaken individuals who
thought that the interest of the ward or of the city, lay in main-
taining high charges, even with a reduced commerce. Hs was
not one of this school, old though it was. Hs was for extending
commerce by means of reduced charges.
Mr. Nov said the new candidata came forward on the popular
interest, and to obtain the support of that intern*, adopted.* tonne
by no means new, setting forth pretension, to clearer views then
all other men ; and promising, to do every thing better than ever
had been, or ever could be done by those whom be wished to get
out..--(Hear, hear!) They could all see, if he were returned,
what great reforms and beneficial change., he would work by the
end of his twelvemonth.

After some few words from Mr. Dixon, and the other repre-
sentatives, in acknowledgment of the favour tbey bad reeeived, she
wardtnote was adjourned.
