report narrates an instance of arbitration between two cap-
tains of the navy by a court of inquiry appointed by the
Admiralty. We must refer our readers to the report its&
for the particulars, having room only to quote the conclu-
sion :—" The court required the production of the corrq-.
spondence, and examined into all the circumstanced ma=
meted with it, and then made an award, declaring the thrills
in which each of the parties should apologise for the offence
they had severally given to the other. In obedience to that
award they each signed a paper, addressed to the President
—one admitting his regret that he should have originated any
statement calculated to give pain to a bmiber officer; the
other avowing his regret that he shoP!,il have allowed the
warmth of his feelings to lead aim to the use of expres-
sions which, on more mature r:onsideration, he perceived had
exceeded the amount of 'provocation. The court added an
assurance that the cr•arse it enjoined would leave the honour
of both parties Irasullied and unaspersed." It is in the army
and navy that hitherto the false code of honour has found its
chief bP.',wark ; and when that bulwark is lost, as there is
Ino every sign of its being lost, we may hope that the prac-
tice will die away speedily among all classes of society.

The regularity and rapidity of railway conveyance is every

only a few years ago would have been deemed impossible; as

been landed at Southampton, seat up by railway, and sold by
Keeling and Hunt, the broken, at public sale, in Monument-

" The marriage of the sister of the Duke de Bordeaux to the
hereditary Prince of Lucca was performed on the 10th at Frohs-
dorff, at eleven in the morning. At an early hour numerous
bodies of the people carrying banners filled the avenues of the
castle. At ten salvos of artillery and military bands announced
the arrival of the Duke of Lucca and the bridegroom. They
were immediately followed by the Empress and Empress-
Mother of Austria, and all the Archdukes and Archduchesses
at Vienna, attended by their Court. Magnificent presents
were offered to the bride by the Duke and Duchess and
Prince of Lucca, the Duchesses d'Angouleme and de Berry, the
Duke de Bordeaux, and the Empress of Austria, who is the
aunt of the bridegroom, and much attached to him,
and who, on this occasion, represented the mother of
the bridegroom, who was unable to be present, on account of
indisposition. The Duke de Bordeaux led his sister to the altar.
The nuptial benediction was given by the Archbishop of Vienna,
who was surrounded by a numerous body of the clergy. After
the wedding feast, the newly.married couple, accompanied by the
Duke of Lucca, set off for the Castle of Urchensdorff, which is
about an hour.and.a.half 's drive from Frohsdorff.

" We possess a power over the Government and the people
of Great Britain, which is a sort of bond and mortgage for

Such is the boastful congratulation the .Arew York Herald
addresses to its readers as the qualification which they may
safely apply to any apprehensions that might otherwise be
occasioned by the spirit of resistance and hostility which
would be excited throughout this country by the avowal of
President POLK, at the ensuing meeting of Congress, that he
meant to enforce not only the pretensions of the United
States to the Oregon territory, but their determination to
extort the unqualified cession of that region from the
English people ! No nation has, of late years, so rapidly
effaced the memory of its stern and self-sacrificing
efforts to vindicate its early independence, by
subsequent boasting and extravagant bragging, as the
United States. Flushed with their incidental success in

their past naval war with Great Britain (in which, how-
ever, they were finally defeated, and but for the grievous
folly of our Cabinet might have been extinguished as an
independent power), they affect the assumption of an air
of arrogant superiority over us, as if the transient triumphs
which they achieved were not solely attributable to their
own vastly superior strength in all the engagements of that
war, wherein they were the victors, to their heavier metal,
and especially the careful administration and equipment of
their navy, so vastly superior to the disgraceful condition of
ours under the long incubamge of JOHN Wusca CROKER for a
Secretary, and of Lord LIVERPOOL and Lord CASTLEREAGH'S
Admralty lay Lords. The tone of insult and rhodomontade they
have ever since adopted towards England, and the disparaging
estimate they have affected to entertain of her power,
might well have involved, long since, a less thoughtful
or excitable race than ourselves in an indignant

themselves to be actuated by an incurable and malignant
animosity to our grandeur, our authority, our power, and
our position—the most commanding among the nations.
Looking, however, to their diminished navy, the dilapidated
condition of their ports, the vulnerable exposure of all their
great harbours and commercial, emporiums, the ridiculous
character and complement of their military force, we really
begin to think our coldly calculating brother of the West
insane in rushing ou his fate, by so perpetually bearding our
dignity and honour. The notion here announced, that we
cannot resent their affronts, because they have the monopoly
of the market which supplies the raw material for our cotton
manufacture, goes near to solve this mystery. But JONA-
THAN is somewhat over-cunning here. He is wrong in the
fact, and he helps our Government to a lesson of political
wisdom which he never meant to do, and which they
were at all times determined not to learn, except
from an enemy, or under the humiliating conviction of
its compulsory adoption. Our own magnificent possessions
in India require nothing but adequate encouragement in the
markets of this country for their native staples to rise into the
rank of nations which are the most powerful and opulent as
well as the most populous of the globe. Let Britain exert
every energy to aid and extend the cultivation of cotton in
India, and she will not only consolidate and extend her per-
manent dominion in the East, over a contented, industrious,

THE PRrvY CouNcm.—Sir Robert Peel, the Lord Pre-
sident, Sir James Graham, and most of the Cabinet Minis-
ters in town, left town this morning by the one o'clock train,
en the Great Western Railway, for Windsor Castle, to attend
the Privy Council, appointed to be held at half-past two
o'clock, for the purpose of taking into consideration the pro-
rogation of Parliament. It is expected that a proclamation
will be issued this evening, summoning Parliament to meet
for the dispatch of public business.
THE LORD CHANCELLOR.—The accounts of his Lordship's
health received in town this morning, from Turville Park,
are favourable. His Lordship was stated, in answer to all
inquiries at his residence in George street, to be improving.
BRUSSELS, Nov. 17.—The exportation of corn from Bava-

and grateful people, her colonial subjects; but she will draw
from them the resources that will enable her at once, by
" repudiating " (after a more honest fashion than the bank-
rupt States of America) every pound of cotton grown in the
United States. She may import it more cheaply from India,
and thus render the, popular notion of the United States of
their monopoly th' its supply to us, and of the right which, with
their usual good taste they assume on that ground, of grossly
insulti'ag us, almost as chimerical as their dreams, of uni-
versal dominion over the whole northern half of the western
world. In the meanwhile, we are content to wait the issue of
events. It is clear that JoNATITAN is very ill-informed of the
care which has been taken to give effect to the resentment of
Britain, whenever she shall think fit to strike.

MORTALITY IN THE METROPOLIS.—The number of deaths
during the week ending Saturday, Nov. 15, was 941. There
is a considerable increase since the previous week under two
heads—diseases of the lungs and other organs of respiration,
and endemic and contagious diseims. The deaths from
bronchitis were 45, average for five autums 19 ; pneumonia
113, average 110 ; and consumption 115, average 139.
Measles still continue very fatal, the deaths for the last week
amounting to 88, while the average is only 31. The deaths
from hooping-cough are also considerably above the average.
Violent deaths 22, of which 10 were from fractures and con-
tusions, 4 from hanging and suffocation, 3 from burns and
scalds, and the rest from wounds and drowning. Of these
4 were suicides, three of them women.
THAMES EMBANKMENT AND RAILWAY JUNCTION COM-
PANY.—We are rejoiced to find that at length the subject of
the embankment of the Thames is about to be taken up in
right earnest. The Thames Embankment and Railway Junc-
tion Company, of which the Earl of Devon is the Chairman,
proposes to embank the north shore of the river ou,the RATE

Railway, Fenchurch-street ; and also across the river
by a railway-bridge, or by one of the existing
bridges, to join the Greenwich, Croydon, Dover and
Brighton Railways. Not only will this plan, if
carried into effect' conduce greatly to the adornment of the
metropolis, and the health and comfort of the community,
but in a commercial point of view it will confer an immense
benefit on every man who, residing west of Temple-bar, has
business to transact in the City. Who has not felt the an-
noyance of being blocked up by the crowded state of the
thoroughfare in Fleet-street or Cheapside, at a time, per-
haps, when five minutes were of incalculable importance—
when loss of time was, in the strictest meaning of
the word, loss of money? This is an evil which
has hitherto been patiently endured, because it was
believed to be irremediable, but by means of the pro-
posed railway a safe and easy communication will be opened
by which in five minutes any business part of the City may
be reached from the West-end, and by thus diverting a por-
tion of the passenger traffic from Fleet-street and Cheapside,
those thoroughfares will be left more free than heretofore, and
the annoying " blockings up" will be of less frequent occur-
rence. The Earl of Lincoln, who, as Chief of the Royal Com-
missioners, has been addressed on the subject, appears favour-
ably inclined to the project, and promises to obtain
a meeting of the Commissioners early in the
ensuing year, and to make the construction of the
projected railway the first matter for consideration.
His Lordship further assures the Company that, in his opinion,
the proceedings of the Commissioners will be closed in ample
time for any necessary proceedings in Parliament. The Com-
pany have also secured the co-operation and support of the
Central Terminus Company and of the Great Western and
Brentford Company. They have, therefore, determined to
apply to Parliament during the ensuing session, and with
every prospect of success, as it is understood that no compet-
ing line will be presented to Parliament during the next
session.

Accounts from Madrid of the 12th inst. confirm the re
p)rt, which we published two days since, o.! some insurrec-
tionary movements at Barcelona. Martial law had been
proclaimed; and it was believed by the authorities there
that General Pant, now residing at Marseilles, had organised
a plot, and was preparing to invade either Catalonia or Valencia,
at the head of a body of emigrants. Two officers con-
nected with the War Department at Madrid had been dis-
patched to these quarters with instructions addressed to the
Captains-General to use every military caution against in-
surrection and invasion on the part of the discontented Ge-
neral. A report prevailed that the negotiations with the
Court of Rome had been broken off, and that tha
bLituonary. The Three per Cents.
were offered at 36 7-16 %, and transactiens took place a
36% 3/ for time; Five per Cents., 2414 1/2 ; Passives, 84 %
for cash.

According to accounts from Paris, the anxiety manifested
for some time respecting the state of the crops had greatly
subsided, and the Government had been actively engaged in
making inquiries in every province with a view to ascertain
what grounds there were for apprehension. The of
Commerce and Agriculture, to whom reports of the quantity
of grain in the kingdom, its quality, the potato disease, &c.,
had been made on the 15th instant, issued a circular letter to
the Prefects of France, containing statistical details of much
interest, with instructions, at the same time, to tran-
quillise the apprehensions of the people respecting the
supply of corn, and to give every encouragement
to the free circulation of agricultural productions from one
department to another. The following is an abstract from
this document :—" The harvest of 1845 has been less favour-
able than the harvests of 1844 and 1843, but greatly superior
to that of 1839. In good years between 30 and 35 depart-
ments have a harvest exceeding their consumption, between
25 and 30 have an adequate harvest, and between 20 and 25
an insufficient one. This year 26 departments have an excess,
28 have a sufficiency, and 32 a deficiency; the latter are
principally the departments of the south, whose habitual
production is the feeblest; the produce, on the contrary, has
been abundant in the department of the north-east, north-
west, west, and basin of the Seine and centre, which, owing to
the usual richness of their crops, supply the country. Buck
wheat and maize, which figure for about a tenth in the. ali-
mentary consumption, have yielded sufficient produce; and
saving in a few departments, such as the Upper and Lower
Pyrennees, they present an excess as compared with the
ordinary wants. Chestnuts have failed in the two or three
departments where that resource is of some importance. As
for potatoes, the crops have sustained some damage in con-
sequence of the disease which has affected that tubercle; in
thirty-six departments the supply is inferior to that Of
ordinary years ; in thirty-nine it is adequate, and in eleven
superior; but this damage has been greatly exaggerated;
and the reports that daily reach me notably diminish
the first reckonings ; moreover, it is remarkable that the
departments of the north and north-west, where pota-
toes have most suffered, are precisely those where the
produce of grain has been most abundant, whilst that
tubercle has been but slightly injured in the department
of the south and south-west, where the crops of grain
have been the feeblest. In short, if altogether the harvest
of 1845 has been inferior to that of an ordinary year, it is
undeniably adequate to all wants, and its results present
nothing that can alarm the people. Besides, at the moment
of the harvest of 1845, there remained from the preceding
year a considerable excess. In ordinary times we may
reckon at 100,000,000 hectolitres (hectolitre equal to 24
imperial bushels) the quantity of grain (wheat, and mixed
wheat and rye) necessary for the food of the inhabitants,
and at 20,000,000 the quantity employed as food for animals,
sowing, and the various industrial uses; the harvest of 1843
had bequeathed to that of 1844 an excess reckoned at
5,000,000 hectolitres of the above three principal ceriales;
the year 1844, whose produce in wheat alone exceeded
82,000,000 hectolitres, has raised this excess to above
15,000,000, which represent nearly two months of
the country's consumption ; the remainder in barley,
maize, and buck wheat, did not fall short of
5,000,000 hectolitres." The report then proceeds to state
that the entrepOts for grain, especially on the Mediterranean,
are well stored, and that the present prices, either of wheat
or foreign grain, do not justify any fears. Advices from Hol-
land a-d Belgium were satisfactory as regards corn ; the
crops in Germany were deficient, but in Italy end Spain the
produce had been abundant. The amount of grain in the
entrepots of the north, nearest to England, namely, Dantzic,
liamburgh, Rotterdam, and Amsterdam, contained, from the
18th of October to the 10th of November, 2,032,310 hecto-
litres. Of course the Government try to make the best of
their case, and some of their conclusions therefore ought to
be received with caution.
The Journal des Debats has another article on Lord'Auen-
DEEN'S dispatch relative to the payment of the Greek debt,
and though on the whole complimentary to his Lordship, the
writer seems to entertain a suspicion that the foreign Minister
is actuated by a spirit of hostility to Coteatri, because he is
supposed to be the opponent of British policy in Greece.
" The English Government," it is admitted, " has right on
its side, and there can be no doubt that the Government of
Greece will give way to the desire of the Earl of ABERDEEN,
and present, if necessary, a Bill for the application of the
excess of the revenue. It is to be desired, however, in the
interest even of the Powers who have guaranteed the loan,
that none of them should be too rigid under existing circum-
;Maces. They should take we not to realise tile fable of

THE DUNCOMBE TESTIMONIAL.-011 the subscrip-
tions to the above closing the Central Committee tendered
the amount received to the Hon. Member for Finsbury,
which he declined, saying " that be would never receive
pecuniary remuneration for any services rendered by him in
the cause of civil and religious liberty and in favour of an
extension of the people's rights." He added that if presented
to him he would hand the sum over to two popular associa-
tions. The Central Committee, however, subsequently de-
termined upon appropriating the sum to the purchase of a
piece of plate value 1,0001., which will be presented to the
Hon. Gentleman in December next. Amongst the sub-
cribers' names stand those of two Conservatives, Mr.
D'lsraeli, M.P., and Mr. Ferrand, M.P.
The Rev. Frederick W. Faber, M.A., late Fellow
of University College, Oxford, and rector of Elton, near Stil-
ton, Hants, has resigned his preferment, and conformed to
the Roman Catholic Church.

The challenge of Edward Hawks, to row Noulton,
of Lambeth, has not been accepted, on the terms proposed by
the former; but Noulton states that he will either give or
take 10/. for expenses, and row at Newcastle or on the
Thames.--Tyne Mercury.

ROLLS' COURT.—(THIS DAY.) .

were heard.

FORDYCF IJ. tSiA fi. NRYDGES, &C.
Mr. KINDERSLEY applied for VIII eider, to the effect that an
affidavit of a bill of service having been filed in the Court,
thtinhl be taken as an actual service. It appeared that the
matter 'find reference to a Scotch entail, aid there were no

less than 150 titnesses.
Leave was granted to mention the case on Tuesday next.

LAINOtti V. VISHEIt.
This was a cause in which the plaintiff sought to set aside
a fine, which he alleged had been unjustly imposed on pro-
perty to which he was entitled.
Mr. 'lames (in the absence of the senior counsel, Mr.
Finney) stated the case. It appeared that Mr. Benjamin
Langley, the plaintiff, claimed as heir-at-law, to certain
estates in Somersetshire, as heir-at•law to Susan Langley,
daughter of Robert Langley. On the marriage of Mr.
Robert Langley these estates were settled on the child or
children that might result from that marriage, and Susan
Langley, who was admitted to have been the only child,
died in 1788. By the law at the time, the father could not
be heir-at-law to his child, but his brother became the heir,
when, at his decease, as in this case, the niece was at an age
that she could have no offspring. Mr. Benjamin Langley was
the uncle of the deceased infant, Susan Langley, and died in
1815, leaving an only child, the present plaintiff. Mary
Langley, the plaintiff's mother, died in 1820, and the only
knowledge of his claims which plaintiff possessed was de-
rived from the information of his father, who frequently
told him that, at the death of his (plaintiff's) uncle, he (the
father) would become entitled to the property in question.
Plaintiff at that time was resident at the Cape of Good Hope,
and had been so for many years, but in September, 1821, he
returned to this country for the purpose of asserting his title
to the property. He had at that time a brother carrying on
business in England, to whom he committed the transaction
dills affairs, from a conviction that he was more conversant
with such matters; and that gentleman accordingly made
inluiries as to his right to this estate. It appears that the
undo of the plaintiff had devised by will all his real pro-
perty to three trustees, of whom a Mr. Grenville Prideaux
was one, and to this gentleman Mr. Robert Langley, the
brother of the plaintiff, applied for the necessary information.
Mr. Prideau:twas solicitor to defendant, and at that ti me carried 1
on businesss Bristol. in partnership with a Mr. Bush,
where Mr. Robeit Langley had an interview with him, and
where he was assure,j by him that the plaintiff had no right
to the estate. Relying pu this information the plaintiff did
not prosecute his claim. statement made by Mr. Pri-
deaux was to the effect that i;y the deed of settlement of
178! this property was so arrange& as to give the wife of
. plaintiff's uncle a testamentary power over it in the event of
there being no issue, and that she had deV.!sed the same to
George Dyke Fisher, who was one of the trustees
tinder the deed of settlement, and to whiZe eldest
daughter Mr. Prideaux was married. Now it who a fact
that this will had been made by Mrs. Langley; but
the plaintiff contends that under the • deed in
question she had no such power, and that Mr. Fisher, who
was her brother, had no claim whatever to the estate, inas-
much as the property was vested in her child, who died. The
plaintiff at length employed ;two respectable solicitors, be-
tween whom and Mr. Prideaux a correspondence (which the
Learned Counsel here read) ensued, and which ending in
their being only able to get an imperfect abstract of the deed
of 1784. from which no information could be ascertained.
Mr. TINNEY here entered the Court and proceeded with
the case, recapitulating seveiai of the facts already detailed.
It also appeared that a fine AM been levied on the estate for
the purpose of preventing the plaintiff obtaining possession;
under these circumstances he conceived that the Court would
have no hesitation in acceding to the application of his
client.
The case occupied the remainder of the day.

VICE-CHANCERY.--(THIS DAY.)
(Before the VICE-CHANCELLOR of ENGLAND.)
WHITEHEAD V. BENNETT.
The arguments in this case, which came before the Court
the other day upon motion for a receiver of certain estates
in the neighbourhood of Manchester, were resumed and
concluded to-day.
His HoNoun., without calling upon Mr. James Parker to
reply, gave judgment, referring it to the Master in the terms
of the notice of motion to approve of a proper person to be
the receiver of the estates in question. In making this order,
his Honour wished it to be understood that he did not intend
to insinuate that the defendant Mr. Bennett bad acted
wrong wilfully, but his Honour felt bound to state
that Mr. Bennett seemed to have greatly misunder-
stood the duties he was bound to perform in the
management of the estates. It bad been said in his
behalf, that he had improved part of the property by turning
a farm into a race-course. His Honour was at a loss to con-
ceive of what benefit that could be, except to enable the de-
fendant, or any other person, to ruin them more easily.
rfo COURT then ordered it to be referred to the Master to
appoint a; receiver.
His Honon; then proceeded to hear motions.
(Before ;.?ee-Chancellor KNIGHT BRUCE. )
ExpA 'ITE HUTCHINSON.
This case came on for film; er hearing and judgment. The
petitioner, William Hutchinson, brother and clerk to the
bankrupt, had had his claim for wages disallowed by Commis-
sioner Goulburn, and a further claim to prove on the bank-
rupt estate for a sum under 201. ; implying belief on the
part of the assignees that there had been something ap-
proaching to fraud and collusion between the two brothers.
His HONOUR, in giving judgment, said the case was not in
any substantial sense an appeal from the judgment of Ser-
geant Goulburn ; the. case had been conducted in a mode,
amd on evidence, different from that before Mr. Goulburn, so
that his conclusion would, on the same materials, possibly
have been that of his Honour. Amidst much conflict one
thing was clear, that during the year 1844, and up to the
early part of! July, 1845, William acted for the
' bankrupt, his brother Robert, as his assistant oc.,
casionally as clerk, occasionally as traveller. Obscure
doubt on the part of the assignees could not affect the
evidence which established this connexion of master 'and
servant between the brothers before the bankruptcy. The
point did not arise whether the connexion existed at the
time of the bankruptcy. If such connexion existed before,
there is a prima facie title to three months' salary, not ex-
ceeding 301. His Honour did not think this claim to salary
had been displaced, and made order for payment of the same.
But the reasons which had prevailed with him to make
this order led him to disallow the other claim to prove on the
estate for 200/. His Honour would be understood as ex-
pressing no opinion on the character of the petititioner or
his brother; if lie had, it would r.thoi be in favo..., ibr he
did not think that fraud had been established against them.
The petitioner's costs were allowed out of the bankrupt's

QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.)
The Court was occupied for a considerable portion of the
day in hearing an application in reference to the validity of a
lease, and the arguments of counsel as to which of two leases
was the valid ore, or whether the last-made lease was to be
held to be the governing lease.

BAIL COUKT.-(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings in Banco, before Mr. Justice P.ArrEsoN.)
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL moved for a rule to show cause
why Mr. Billing, an attorney of this Court, should not an-
swer an affidavit.
In Aprillast Mr. Billing brought two actions against a Mr.
Mackenzie, who not receiving the usual notice of declaration
searched the office and found a notice of declaration filed
upon an affidavit of service by one John Smith, stated to reside
in the Bethnal-green-road. Mr. Mackenzie at once instituted
inquiries, and found that no person named John Smith re-
sided at the address mentioned in the affidavit, and no person
of that name had resided there for many months previous.
An application was made by Mr. Mackenzie to stay all fur-
ther proceedings, but in consequence of some delay on his
part it was dismissed with costs. Another action against the
same party had since been entered by Mr. Billing, who again
filed an affidavit of service by the same John Smith. An
application was made to Mr. Justice Wightman, who ordered
all proceedings to be stayed on the ground of irregularity, and
Mr. Billing had to pay the costs. On the first application
to stay the proceedings Mr. Billing produced a sheriff's
officer, who swore that he saw John Smith serve the notice
of declaration, but Mr. Justice Wightman did not seem to
put implicit reliance on that statement.
Mr. Justice PATTESON said that the affidavit of service
might have been made by a person bearing the name of John
Smith, although lie might not live at the place described.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said that that doubt constituted
their only difficulty, as in the event of the affidavit not being
made by John Smith it would be an indictable offence.—Rule
granted.

THE QUEEN V. ---
Mr. WORDSWORTH moved ,for a rule to show cause
why a certain attorney should not be struck off the
rolls, or why he should not answer a certain affidavit.
The Learned Gentleman stated, that the proceedings in
this case arose from an. action on two bills of exchange for
150/. each, in the case of Wool v. the Earl of Portarlington,
which was tried in the county of Sussex, before Mr. Justice
Coleridge. A verdict was given. in favour of the plaintiff, for
870/. The present case arising from it was one of a flagrant
nature, such as seldom . came before the Court, being an
offer of a bribe of 10/. from :in attorney to a witness to
swear to that which he knew to be untrue. The facts on
which this application were founded were briefly these :—ln
the action he bad before-mention ed the two first counts in
the defendant's declaration pleaderthat he did not accept the
bills, and the other set forth that the money was given to
play at unlawful games, and that the bills were given to
secure the payment of money lost by defendant to plaintiff at
unlawful games and by gambling. The cause was fixed for
trial on the 29th of July, but did not come on until the fol-
lowing Wednesday, and at the conclusion of each day Mr.
Richards, the attorney for the pl aintiff, and a witness named
Wallace, went to Brighton, and pat up at an hotel called the
White House. Mr. --, the :attothey for the defendant,
asked permission to join them there, which was allowed.
One morning they all breakfasted together, and Mr. Richards
went up stairs, leaving Mr. : ind Wallace in the coffee-
room. What took place there i sonld be best learned from
the affidavit subsequently made. by Mr. Wallace. The
Learned Counsel then read the affidavit, from which it ap-
peared that, on Mr. Richards leaving the coffee-room, Mr.
handed a paper under the table to Wallace, which paper
purported to be a proof of his evi deuce to be given on the
trial, and told him at the same time to read it when he should
be unobserved. Mr. Richards cam e into the room at that
time, and they all started in a ca rriage for Lewes, where
the cause was tried. On their arrival at the Court-house, Mr
Richards got out, and Mr. then said to Mr. Wallace
that he had better read the paper, and he would engage Mr.
Richard's attention while he did s 4). Wallace then readthe
paper, which stated that he would 1 wove that when the bills
became due Mr. Wood had called upon Messrs. Pine and
Richards, the defendant's solicitors, to whom he (Wallace)
was clerk, and had threatened to institute proceedings
against the defendant, and that lie„ as clerk to Pine and
Richards, informed him that the d' ifendant had instructed
them that the bills were for a gamb brig debt, and that if he
was pressed for payment he would plead that fact on the
trial. He was further to stab:, that: :the plaintiff at once ad-
mitted that fact, and did not ivess for payment for some time
afterwards. At the bottom of this paper was written in
pencil 5, "Q. Si.," thereby inxima Ling that such a sum
would be given for swearing to the document. Mr.
Wallace expressed his astonishmerr t that Mr. should
wish him to swear to that which he I :new to be untrue, and
Mr. increased his offer to 101. stating that money was
no object if that statement could be a worn to. On Wallace's
refusing, he begged that he would not tell any person of what
had occurred.

Mr. Justice PArrEsoN—Such an rence would amount to
a misdemeanour. _ _

Mr. WORESNVORTH said that it would do so no doubt, but
it did not follow that, because it was an indictable offence,
that application should not be made to the Court of Queen's
Bench. That impression once exi steel, but it had been
clearly decided by a Learned Judge that in such a case an
application to the Court of Queen's 1 tench could be made.
The remainder of the affidavit was' then read, and it ap-
peared that the attorney for Mr. Wooi i (Mr. Richards) bad
been instructed to make the present appaication. and liad
in-
formed Mr. of his instruction, cold Mr. ban
requested that it should be referred to so nu gentleman at the
bar, but that was declined by Mr. Wood.
The Learned JUDGE then grant a ruliv ) show cause why
the affidavit should not las answered.
