ROLLS' COURT, March 4.
PARIS V. HUGHES.

Lord LANGDALE gave judgment to-day in this case, the
arguments in which engaged the Court for the last two days.
It came on for exception to the Master's report, that he had
not found as to the state of facts, that the defendant Bright-
more had notice .of the transaction in question. The bill had
been filed in the year I MI, and a decree of reference to the
Master obtained in 1833; and the exceptions taken to the
report then made by the Master formed the question now
before the Court.

The suit had been originally insi.ituted to set aside an al-
leged fraudulent. sale of the estate of Paris. He had had ac-
counts with Messrs. Debutts, his solicitors, and had been
arrested and imprisoned by them in 1820. Debutts
insisted, as a condition of his release, that he should
execute a deed with power of sale of his estate ;
otherwise that he would have a commission of bankruptcy
issued against him. Paris consented and executed the deed.
Under that deed the property was put up to sale, and Mr.
I3rightmore became the purchaser. The question was whether
Brightmore had notice of the transaction respecting the
deed -Or sale. It was said that Miss Paris, the sister
of the plaintiff, had given him notice. The master
found the other way, and to that report exceptions
were taken. His Lordship allowed the first exception ;
The second exception he referred back to the Master to review
his report, with directions to examine Miss Paris viva voce
and whatever other witnesses, and in whatever manner might
seem best.

SECONDARIES' COURT, March 4.
110DGK1NSON V. MILLER.

This was an action by art attorney against his client for
51. 45., for professional services. Defendant had engaged
plaintiff to file a bill of discovery against a Dr. Bigsby, but
after some correspondence and inquiries defendant was advised
not to persevere, as he had not a prospect of success.
The defence at first was that this was a no-cure no-pay ca•,e,
but this allegaticn failed, and it was said that no service had
been performed, i. r., that the plaintiff had done no good, and
then that a sufficient bill of costs a 3 required by the statute
had not been delivered in.

The SECONDARY observed that an attorney's claim must
not be considered as groundless, because what his client had
ordered him or permitted him to do had not been successful.
The defendant's Counsel farther urged that the bill of costs
was drawn up in abbreviations not commonly used in the Eng-
lish language, and that, therefore, according to " Archbold's
Practice," the bill was invalid. The bill had the letters A. T.
S. which stood for nothing, for there should have been the
tour letters, A. T. S. 0. to stand for "at the suit of." Also
that the plaintiff had not put down his res,dence in the bill.
The SECONDARY thought this a very strong objection, still
he could not non-suit the plaintiff on this point.
The case was allows d to go to the Jury, who thought the
charges on the whole reasonable, and gave a verdict for the
plaintiff for 5/. 4s.
The defendant's Counsel said he would raise the point of re-
sidence elsewhere, to which the Learned Judge did net object.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, March 4.
IN RE WILLIAM RITCHIE.
The insolvent in this ease had been a gentleman's servant,
and lately the occupier of the Blue Posts public-house, Rupert-
street, Haymarket. His petition to be discharged seas sup-
ported by Mr. Woridroffe, and opposed by Mr. Cooke, on be-
half of Miss Elizabeth Francis.

Mr. COOKE examined the opposing creditor at great length,
when she stated that she and insolvent had lived together as
fellow-servants, and having saved about 400/. he induced her
to lend it is him for the purpose of setting up in a public-house.
In March, 1841, the Blue l'osts, in Rupert-street, being to be
let, she advanced, at different periAls, the sum of 342/. to
effect the purchase; and after the insolvent had got the sum
into his hands tie told her the house belonged to Messrs. Whit-
bread and Co., the brewers, and as they had an objection to
receiving single females as tenants, he would be compelled io
have the house taken, and also the licence filled up, in his name.
However he said she could remain in the house with him and
his wife until such time as the money advanced was repaid.
From the month of March to the month of September she
lived there, and when she asked him to execute some deed or
writing, t) secure her the money, he knocked her down and

she showed a certificate to the Magistrate from a medical gen-
tleman describing the injuries she received.
Witnesses were called on behalf of the insolvent to endea-
vour to establish proof of 11iiss Francis being a person of
drunken habits, but their statements were immaterial.
in his examination the insolvent said that the marks of in-
jury which she sometimes bore on liar face were the effects of
falls she got while intoxicated.
Mr. COOKE said the charge against the opposing creditor
was one which was but too frequently brought under similar
circumstances. At all events there could be no doubt but she
had lost all the savings which she accumulated during a long
life of servitude through the heartless conduct of the insolvent,
and he trusted the Court would consider this to be a case than
which few required a more severe application of the discre-
tionary clause of the Act.
'1 he Learned CHILI COMMISSIONER said the opposing
creditor's testimony detailed the most heartless ingratitude on
the part of the insoivi nt ; however, there was no other evi-
dence adduced to confirm her statement ; but he could desig-
nate the conduct of the insolvent, under all the circumstances,
of taking money from a woman without using every pos)ible
means to repay her, as shabby and disgraceful in the extreme,
and an indication of au ungenerous and unfeeling mind. How-
ever, as there was no collateral evidence in support of that of
the of posing creditor's, he felt that it was not a case which he
could Beal with under the clause referred to by the Learned
Cousel. IN RE ILA VIS.
Mr. NICHOLLS, on behalf of several creditors of the insol-
vent, who held an anointment in Woolwich, at a salary of
300/. per annum, !aid he was instructed to state that the in-
solvent had exiiressed his willingness to give up 1001. per annum
of his salary, to be appropriated in the liquidation of the debts,
and that they expre,ised their cor.currence in the arrangement.
Mr. HUGHES, who appeared on behalf of a creditor at the
hearing, said lie had received no instructions whatever from
his client.
Mr. Cooke and Arr. Nicholls, who represented a large body
of the creditors, expre,sed themselves satisfied; when 111 r.
Hughes offered no further opposition, and the arrangement was
agreed to by the Court.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.
OLD COURT.

Peter 411'i%Jirut anti Robert Sntiflt, the maker and male of a
ship called the Sealby, from Tampico to Liverpool, were placed
at the bar, charged with killing and slaying John Jones, a
sailor boy, on board the said ship.
Mr. bodkin and Jr.A Doane appeared to prosecute, and slr.
Clarkson and Mr. Phillips appeared for the prisoner AP/Uinta
and Mr. Peneergast for the prisoner Smith.
From the statement of the case by Mr. Bodkin, it appeared
that the ship Sealby sailed from Tampico on the 12th of
December. For some time previous to her sailing, the Cap •
fain and crew had been sick of the fever, and many of them
had been in the hospital at Tampico. At the time the vessel
sailed the boy Jones had not recovered, but was in a very weak
and sickly state. While the boy was in this state the mate
ordered him on deck, and putting a scraper into his hand,
ordered him to scrape the deck. At another time the
Captain, who was ill below, ordered the mate to take
a piece of rope, r..nd compel the boy to work. When the vessel
left Tampico, the surgeon ordered that the boy should not be
allowed meat for some time, but that he should be sup-
plied with coffee, and a little soup. These directions
were complied with, but the coffee and the other food, when
brought for the boy, was always placed on the after hatch
in the cpen air, and if the boy was too weak to fetch it he was
obliged to go without it, as the cap' ain would not allow any
person to take it to him, sating That if the boy was indulged
in that way he would never work at all. The boy wou dat
times crawl to the place whore his food was put, but when he
was unable to do so he had no food during the day. The boy
ultimately died on the 24th Deceinher.
Jarr es Lewis was the first witness called, who stated that the
boy was extremely ill at the time when the vessel sailed. It
was ordered by the doter that care should be taken if him.
The boy was directed by the mate to scrape the ship, and the
mate put a scraper nate his hand, and mace him go down on
his knees to scrape the deck. The boy died on the 24th Dee.
John Rapson stated, that he was a boy on beard the vessel
called the Sealby. She sailed from Tampico on the 12th of
D. ember. A number of the crew was at that time ill. The
boy Jones was very ill,but he was ordered on deck to scrape
the ship. His foua w;is always placed on the after hatch, and
if he did not go for it himself, he was obliged to go without it.
.1 he boy was so weak that he used to crawl upon his knees
to the after hatch. Iles seen him crawl to the water-cask
to get sonic water. Once when he was at the cask saw the
mate push him down, and prevent him getting any water
to drit k. Ne,er heard the boy use any improper
language to the captain or the mate. Witness was fad
vet y well during the first part of the vo)age. 'Hwy had then a
pound
an alialf of meat a day, but it was after wards reducedto
.•
one pound, and then to half a pound. Ilas seen time mate best
the boy frequently when the boy was unable to work, and oft, n
heard him complain of the mate and captain beating him. The
day before the boy died i.e complained of ill•treatment, and said
he had been %tat red. lie died on the 24th December.

he ,hip's cook was callud, and corroborated the foregoing
testimony. On cross-ex..mination, he said that in cases of
fever in the climate of Tampico, too much food frequently
caused death. The meat was always taken to the after hatch
that the captain might we how much was given to each man.
llad seen the deceased boy ftequently go to that part of the
vessel for hi food, hut could not say how much he ate.
This was the ea.e for the prosecution.
Mt. PREN DE RG AST then addressed the Jury for his client,
contendirg that under the circumstances the course adopted
was a nee, scary one icr the safety of the whole crew ar.d the
ship. The wnole of the crew were in a state of sickness, and
if cessation of labour had been allowed, the slip must have
been sacrificed, together with the whole crew. The de-
ceased was put to the easiest work in the ship, that of
scrapirg the decks, and e‘en for :his the mate was not answer-
able, inasmuch as he wasacting under the orders of the captain.
Several wi,nes,es were thin called, all of whom gave the
prisoner Smith a good character for humanity and mildness.
Mr. PniLtirs then addressed the Jury for the other pri-
soners.

Several witnesses gave the prisoner a good charac-
ter for humanity, and
The LEA RNLI) JUDGE having summed up the evidence, the
Jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty, but at the same time
expressing their belief that great blame rested on the prisoners.
The prisoners were again indicted for killing and slaying
another boy of the name of John Popham, but
CL A it KSON said after the decision the Jury had come to as
to the former care, he should not press the second indictment, as
the evidence upon which it rested was precisuly the same as that
already adduced. The prisoners were consequently acquitted.

NE IV COURT.
(Before the COMMON SERGEANT.)
The Court was occupied during the morning with the hear-
ing of Allot cases, non,3 of which offered any feature of pub-
lic interest.

SPRING ASSIZES.
HOME CIRCUIT— Hertford, Mardi 3.
THE QUIEN V. WEbSiTER.

This was an information tiled by the Attorney-General, iu
pursuance of a resolution of the House of Commons, imputing
to the defendant that he had, at an election for the borough of
St. Alban's, in February, 1841, when Lord Listowel and
B. B. Cabbell, Esq., were the candidates, bribed a voter
named Robert Atilms, to induce him to vote for Lord Listowel ;
and that he had also bribed another voter, named John Steb-
bing, in order to induce him to refrain from voting at all at
the election.
The Attorney-General, Mt. D. Pollock, Mr. Thesiger, and
Mr. Bodkin conducted the case in support of the information.
Mr. Sergeant Shea, Mr. M. Chambers, Mr. Maule, So-
licitor for the Treasury, and Mr. C ppock for the defendant.
'rhe ATTOILN Er• GENERAt.statedthe case for the prosecution.
George Ray, post-boy, at Barnet, proved that on the day
in question the defendant, with another gentleman, came to
his master's in a chaise and four ; they went on to town with
four other horses, and witness was one of the post-boys. They
first went to St. James's•street, and from thence to Whitehall.

Baron ALDERSON—Whereabout in Whitehall? It is a large
place.
Witness—" Agin" the Treasury.—( Roars of laughter.)
Witness continued—Dr. Webster went into the Treasury
and he left him there while he put up the horses. He went
back at night with the same two gentlemen.
Cross-examined—The Treasury was on the right hand going
from Charing-cross. There wore some soldiers standing about
with great jack boots on.—Otenevved lauhter.) This was
why he belied` d it to be the 'I reasury.—( Lagughter.)
Several witnesses proved that Dr. Webster solicited their
votes, and that they were not particular as to which side they
voted for.
Hobert Adams was then examined: He deposed that he
was a voter of the borough of St. Alban's, and had resided
there for upwards of twenty years. lie knew the defendant,
Dr. Webster, and he remembered meeting him on the Satur-
day before the day of nomination at the election in Feb-
ruary, 1841, in the High-street of St. Alban's • the de-
fendant was looking after voters, and he tapped him on the
shoulder, and asked hint if he would be on his side; witness
replied, " No, Voct,,r, i. won't do ;" thinks that he then said
they had got plent y of money ; witness, accompanied by another
voter named Stebbing, went on the Monday following to
the Doctor's house, and he then said they had better be
with his party, and asked them to walk in, and they
did so; before this, witness had had same conversation
with the gentlemen connected with the Blue or oppo—
ing party; they went all together into the surgery,
and then the Doctor took Stebbing with him into a back
parlour ; after a short time Stebbing came back to
him, and showed him two five-pound notes and two sovereigns,
I and the doctor then called witness into the back parlour, and
asked him what he wanted for his .vote? He replied, 201.
The doctor said he would not give that sum, but he would give
him what he had given to Stebbing, and that, he said, would
be IYi., and witness agreed to take that suns ; the doctor then
went out of the room, and fetched the money, and laid it on
the table, and witness took it up. Alter some further exami-
nation the following scene took place. _ _

Mr. Serg, ant SliEA—Now, sir, tell me whether you were
known at Aylesbury by the name of " Lying Adams? "
Witness—Am 1 obliged to answer that question?
Baron A Liikasos —1 (toilet think you a- e r,quired tube the
herald of your own dishonour. You may refuse it you please.
Mr. ett,tiant SHEA-1f )se refuses to answer, that will do
just as
The LEARNED SliicaANT then asked the witness whether
he was not known at St. Alban's by the name of "Lying
Adams?" Witness—l don't choose to answer the question—
they may call me what they please.
Sergeant SHEA Did you ever know a person named
Samuel Gibb ? Witness-1 won't answer.

Sergeant SHEA—You must. Witness—very well, then,
I did.

-
Sergeant Stun-D:(1 he not, wh,-n he worked with you,
keep a piece of chalk to mark up the number of lies you told in
a day—( Roars of laughter)? Witness—l don't know anything
about that. It is .11r. —, of St. Alban's who put that about.
He is a Whig. -( Renewed laughter.
J. 11. Rumball, Esq., the mayor' of St. Alban's, deposed to
the circumstances connected Nita} the election in question.
The polling day was on the 9th of February, and he remem-
bered Adams handing to him a parcel, and stating that it con-
tained money which had been given to hint by pr. Webster to
induce him to vote for Lord Listowel. Believed that Dr.
Webster was present when he communicated the circumstance
to the peaioni who were round the hustings, and some pers,n
on the part of the hustings where Dr ;,1%
_e_ib,Aar was, called out,
" They are as bad on the other side. It tness added that he
sealed up the parcel and money, and he now produced it, and
handed it to the Court; he added that he now claimkeedlythte
ALDERSON said he not see how that could be; it
nnoinja7.n did
no person was h was a sort of derelict property; and as

elaim it, the beat way would he to hand it over to some of the
charities in the county.
Mr. Rumball said he should apply the money to some such

urpose. - -
Cross-examined—He took no part in this election either by
canvassing or voting, or in any other ;manner. Witness was a
Blue, but he had formerly supported the other party. Mr.
Cabbell was behind on the poll from the commencement ; the
paper was handed in about twelve o'clock, which was in time
when it was very important for a candidate who was behind to
endeavour to bring up the poll. He was rather surprised at
the occurrence, not at hearing that bribery was practised at St.
Alban's, but that it should be made public. —( A laugh.)
Baron ALDERSON—You were not surprised at the bribery,
but that any one should admit he had been bribed.—(Renewed
laughter.) Witness—That was the case.
John Stebbing was then called; he appeared to be very ill,
and a chair was placed for his accommodation ; before he was
sworn he handed a note to the Court.
Baron ALDERSON having perused it, addressed the witness,
and said he declined to he sworn on account of his being very
ill, but that was no ground to excuse him from being sworn.
Stebbing said he had been ill for three years.
Baron ALDERSON—That is no reason why you should refuse
to be sworn to speak the truth.

Witness,-I object to be sworn.
Baron ALDERSON—Then I shall be obliged, ill as you ate,
to commit you.
Witness—l have eaten nothing for three days.
Baron A EDER soN—That is no ground for your refusal. You
shall have some food first, if you like.

Witness—l cannot eat.
Baron ALDERSON—You must be sworn.
itness—lf I take the oath, I call God to witness that I
will speak the truth, and I feel my memory to be so bad that I
cannot do it.
Witness ultimately took the oath, but owing to the imbecility
displayed by him, little credit was given to his evidence. He
stated the Doctor bribed him with 12./.
Mr. Sergeant SIIEE addressed the Jury in a powerful and
eloquent speech. He ridiculed the idea of the House of Com-
mons vindicating its purity by prosecuting a medical man at
St. Alban's, where conception was so rife in the whole House,
vindicated the character of the defendant, showed the total want
of creditality in Adams and Stebbing's testimony, and called
upon the Jury to show their sense of the hypocrisy of such
prosecu ions, and of the innocence of the defendant, by a ver-
dict in his favour.
After a short consultation, the Jury returned a verdict of
Not Guilty.

THURSDAY.
DUNN V. COMM.
This was an action brought by Richard Dunn, the Irish
barrister, against Mr. Boyce Combe, one of the Magistrates of
Ilatton-garden Police Court, for false imprisonment.
Mr. James and Mr. Lush conducted the plaintiff's case ;
Mr. Thrsiger' Mr. Espinasse, and Mr. M. Chambers, ap-
peared for the defendant.
Mr. JAMES, on opening the case on behalf of his client, said
'that there was no malicious inti ntion imputed to the defendant
by the present action ; but, as he was instructed, it would
appear that, under a mistaken notion of the law, he had
deprived the plaintiff of his liberty, and had occasioned him se-
rious inconvenience, and it was for this that he now
sought for compensation at the hands of the Jury.
It appeared that, in June 1840, Miss Burdett Coutts exhibited
articles of the peace against Mr. Dunn, and upon her state-
ment the Magistrates, at the Middlesex Sessions, granted a
warrant for the apprehension of Mr. Dunn, and calling
upon him to find sureties to keep the peace; and upon
that warrant Mr. Dunn was taken into custody, and
brought before Mr. Combe, at the Police Court where he
presided, and that gentleman, without making any inquiry as
to the sufficiencylof the articles of the peace which had been
exhibited against him, thought fit to order Mr. Dunn to find
sureties, and in default he was committed to the New Prison,
to which place he was conveyed as a felon in the felon's van,
and he was there confined for a period of four months. Mr.
Dunn was all along satisfied of the insufficiency of the articles
of the peace, and he took the necessary proceeding by habeas to
bring the matter before the Court of Queen's Bench, when the
question was fully argued, and the Judges decided that the pro.
ceedings were insufficient, and the plaintiff was set at liberty.
The Learned Counsel then proceeded to make some further
observations in reference to the alleged informal proceedings
of the Quarter Sessions, and concluded by saying that Mr.
Dunn did not seek for vindictive damages, but all he desired
was a fair and reasonable compensation for the misery and
anxiety that had occurred to him by the illegal conduct of the
defendant.
Witnesses were then called to prove the arrest and impri-
sonment.
Mr. TtlEstr,Ea made along speech in reply, when
Baron ALDERSON addressed the Jury, and said that he was
of opinion that in law the plaintiff was entitled to a verdict. As
to the amount of damages, it would be for them to say what
damages he ought to receive under the circumstances.
The Jury immediately returned a verdict for the plaintiff.—
Damages One Farthing.
When the verdict was delivered, Mr. Dunn rose, and in a
very excited manner was about to address the Learned Judge ;
but Mr. Baron Alderson, this being the last case, ordered the
Court to be adjourned, and immediately turned his back to him
and left the Court.
Mr. Dunn then addressed his Counsel in a violent tone, and
accused them of having " basely sold" him, and said the case
hid been conducted in a manner entirely in oppo,ition to his
instructions.

FAILURE OF MESSRS. WIGNEY'S

BANK.

BRIGHTON, FRIDA T.—The shock will be severely felt,
as the majority of their customers were the trades-
men of the town ; and it is generally reported that only a small
dividend will be paid. Amongst the sufferers are a great
number of the Brighton fishermen, who have here work for the
urpose of fishing for mackerel off Plymouth, and were in the
habit cf sending their money to the bank weekly for security,
until their return home. These poor f Hews have from 20/. to
80/. each of their hard earnings deposited in the bank. In
consequence of the failure, a run was immediately made on the
two other banks, the Union and the London and County Joint
Stock Bank, acd this afternoon a highly respectable meeting
took place at the Town-hall, for the purpose of expressing pub-
lic confidence in the other banks. l'-he High Constable took
the chair and briefly addressed the meeting, stating that they
were aware of the cause that had called them together and
trusted that the resolutions which would be proposed would in-
spire that confidence which was desirable for the good ofthe town.
The Rev. T. W. Scorr moved the first resolution, which was
seconded by Mr. SMITH H A NNINGTON, to the effect that under
the painful circumstances of the suspension of payments by the
banking establishment of Messrs. Wigney, it is expedient that
prompt steps should be taken to publicly express the confidence
.41 the inhabitants in the two remaining banks, Messrs. Hall,
West, and Borrer, and the London and County Bank.
Mr. HALL returned thanks on behalf of the Union Bank,
and said that having received intimation a few days back of the
lamentable occurrence, he had made every provision to meet any
demand th .t might be made upon them, and trusted the firm
would continue to. the mutual advantage of all parties.
; - The meeting expressed itg most unlimited confidence in the
stability of the Banking establishments of Messrs. Hall, West,
and Berrer, and the London and County Bank, and their de-
termination to support them at the present crisis.
Mr. 'Lisieux said that however confident the townspeople
of Brighton, the meeting was highly necessary, as it was ob-
vious that country people would feel greatly alarmed, and it
was only by extensively publishing the meeting that public
confidence could be maintained.
After a vote of thanks had been passed to the Chairman the
meeting separated.
The failure has caused a general gloom throughout the
town, as great confidence was placed in the bank, although
it had been whispered about the town for the last four weeks
that a stoppage was likely to take place. Mr. Capps, the great
coach proprietor, is said to be a large creditor.
