These cruel anti rapacious condottierri are :gain to be let
loose on the inhabitants of the Lebanon ; and, it, 13 evident,
that the Porte is only seeking to amuse the attention and abu,e
the confidence of the five Powers by evasive notes—while it
attempts to complete by violence what by treachery was begun.
Will the European confederacy thus itl:ow i self to be tiifled
with ? Or will coercion be employed to enforce demands
which cannot be obtained by conciliation ? Of the equity of
those demands there can be no question whatever. England.
in particular, is bound to see justice done to the mountaineers
of Syria—for it was-chiefly at the instigation of her agents that
they threw off the yoke of Mehemet Ali, and again acknow-
ledged the supremacy-of the Porte—England was in some mea-
sure pledged that they shouldsuffe; no prejudice by their Change
of masters. Can she now consistently permit their immemo-
rial privileges to be trampled upon?

TkiARRATIVE of the CAMPAIGN of the
ARMY of the INDUS, in SIND and KAUBOOL,
in 1838 and 1839.
By RICHARD HARTLEY KENNEDY, M.D.
"A vivid and interesting history of one of the most important
campaigns in which our Indian army has ever been engaged."
—Atlas.
The Author, whose Narrative is full of interesting and
important facts, seems almost to have foretold the sad calamity
which has befallen our gallant army :
• The secrets of office are beyond the Author's reach, and
the time for history is not come; the propriety of such interfe-
rence at Kaubool as the deposition of Dost 11a om' d and the
exaltation of Shah Soojah, of the policy through ut pursued
towards Runjeet Sing and the system so I.mg p,isevered in and
so concluded in l•ind, are parts of a great whole, shit must
soon be seen developed in all its wisdom, Gr the reverse ; far
th • result, whether for good or for evil, mint quit kly.appcar ;
and the cost as apportione to the b netit, supposing
.it be a
benefit; must soon be counted. The oldest of the parties con-
cerned is likely, in the course of nature, to live to see it ; the
seed they have planted will not be watched through a century of
expectation."—Preface.
Richard Bentley, New Burlington-street.
(Publisher in Ordinary to her Majesty.)

" Excellency—When the Capuclan Pacha did me the honour,
this morning, to present me, in the name of his Impetial Ma-
jesty the Sultan, with a sword for my services in Syria, I na-
turally 'conclueletl that it was f the same description as those
conferred Old °Veers holding the same rank as myself, bat
finding th it :t is in every respect far inferior, I beg most respect-
fully to clecl.ne.accepting it, feeling confident that after the
marked manner in which his Imperial Majesty, on all occa-
sions, has b: en graciously pleased to express his entire appro-
batitat of my services, it could never have been his Imperial
Majesty's intention that any slur should be cast on them, or,
as I must otherwise regard it, on the dignity of the nation to
which I belong, by malting so marked a difference in the dis-
tribution of rewards.—l have the honour to be, your Excel-
lency's most obedient humble servant,

(Signed) " YAVER."
The individual so signing himself, and holding the rank
of a Turkish Pacha, is Sir Baldwin Walker, of the Royal
Navy, as brave and meritorious an cfficer as the service can
boast of. Upwards of three years . that he has also served
the Sultan, his best energies have been devoted to
the reform and improvement of the Turkish fleet
and arsenal ; and, in spite of innumerable obstacles, something
like discipline and seamanship has, through his exertions, been
engrafted on a stock so uncongenial and unpromising. But it
was more particularly during the late Syrian campaign that
"he did the State some service, and they know it." There is
one episode in particular, well described in Mr. Hunter's
spirited narrative of this campaign, and which proves to what
extent Sir Baldish Walker felt the necessity, and contributed
to the support of, the high state of this moral feel.ng. I allude
to the first demonstration made by the flag-ship before Acre.
So mortified was he at the apparent vacillation of the English
Admiral—so apprehensive of the effect, which the withdrawal
of the fleet without striking a blow might produce on the•mettle
of the 'lurks and the prospects of the expedition—that, neglect-
ing, the orders of his coadjutor, he del.berately brought his ship
within six hundred yards, aerfpoured a parting browlside ire°
the batteries. In a similar spirit, and fur similar objects,
when the attack, which he had so strongly recommend.d, at
length tack place, he again claimed for his flag, which was that
of the Sultan's Admiral, the station which, with the greatest
honour, entailed the greatest denger on its occupant. His ves-
sel was anchored at half the distance taken up by every other
lice-of-battle ship during the bombardment.
The Smyrna steamer has just come, bringing intengenee of
the arrival there of the Phoenix, from the coast of Syria. The
information conveyed by the latter is of the most unfavourable
character; the Lebanon being said to be still in open rebel,
liofi against the Government. An insurrection had al,o broken
out at Tripoli, upon the coast. At Tarsus, likewise, the people
had risen masse, and murdered the Pacha. 1t is expected
that many more such outrages will be perpetrated ; all of them
fruits of misgovernment, and of the late Syrian expedition.
MALTA.

MALTA, APRIL s.—The Weazle brig-of-war arrived from
Beyrout and the Isle cf Scarpanto on the 25th ult., arid the
Belvidera from Leghorn and Naples on the 28th ult; the lat-
t. r bringing the family of the late Earl and Countess of Dur-
ham, which SII3 will shortly convey to- Cadiz. The Locust
steam tender having landed Sir Joseph and Lady Copley at
Palermo, remained at that port until her second officer, Mr.
Risk, reiia'red by land to Trapani, to ascei tain whether there
was any possibility of saving the Maltese brig Rapid°, lately
stranded there, on her voyage to Gibraltar from Malta. His
report being unfavourable, we understand the owner (who wits
conveyed to Sicily in the Locust) decided upon selling the
wreck on the spot of the disaster, for account of the under-
write, s ; and, what with local dues, guards, charges, and
err()) lions, the proceeds are likely to he of a very insig-
nificant amount. The Locust visited Messina, Catania, and
Syracuse; from which latter ports she returned to Malta on
the 29:11 ult., after a run of only seven hours. The Tunisian
corvettes Delaliah and Aieshouda sailed for Constantinople on
the 29th ult. The Prometheus paent-tiavirigi.- on her lat.,
voyage from Cdraltar, fallen in. w.th three French ships of
tire line, off Cape Bon. steering in the direction of Tunis,
Hear-Admiral Sir Francis Mason despatched the Devastation
steamer to that port on the 29th ult. to watch their move-
ments. She returned or the 31st (having been only 55 hours
in effecting this service, including four hours' detention at
Tunis by the Consul), reporting that no F(ench ships had
visited Tunis, nor did she fall in with them at sea. Those seen
by the Prometheus were no doubt the division which lately
left Smyrna for Toulon. The Rodney, Vanguard, and Thun-
derer, which had bent sails, r.nd were under orders to put to
sea immediately the Devastation 'returned, are not, it is now
said, to move for the present. One of the steamers now iR port
(unless the Me.lea arrives in the interval, in which case she
will be preferred a 3 affording more accommodation) will be
despatched in a few days with one hundred additional
seamen, some artillerymen, carts, and rafts, to re-
move to the seaside, before the unhealthy season sets in,
the sculptured marbles lately collected by Mr. Fellowes at
Xanthus, in Lycia, and which are considered to be of much
greater value than the celebrated Elgin marbles. The crew
of the Beacon, who were some weeks employed in this service,
were found insufficient, especially without carts, rafts, &c., as
many of the packages are of a great weight, and the roads very
bad. They have, nevertheless, after vast labour, excavated and
carefully packed up, about eighty cases, which are now lying
in charge of the Turkish authorities, ready for removal.
These will have to be conveyed in carts to the river Xatithir4
a distance of about five miles, and thence floated down on rafts
tt}the sea at Patat a, where a transport, or some hired vessel,
will he sent in the summer to receive and cony y them to
England. The Beacon, after refitting, will return with the
Magpie, under the orders of Commander Brock (who is to
have a larger vessel next year), to prosecute the surveys in the
Archipelago ; but Commander Graves, of the Beacon, the sur-
veying officer, will leave Maita in a steamer early in May, for
Athens, Candia, and the coast of Syria, to establish by astrono-
mical observations, the true eifferences of longitude of several
places both on the coast and inland, and will perhaps also re-
pair from Jerusalem to the Dead Sea, to ascertain its extent
and level, in which travellers disagree. The Scout will leave
for Barcelona as soon as she is refitted. The Polyphemus will
convey the next mal from Gibraltar for England, and the Pro-
metheus the overland one to Marseilles, at the close of this
month. '

~~illiam
Cuming, a seaman of the Cambridge, after a trial
which occukied nearly two days. has been declared, by Ben
tence of a Lourt-Martial assembled onboard the Impregnable
on the 31st ult. and Ist instant, guilty of the murder of a boy
belonging to the Cambridge, whilst that vessel was lying at
Gibraltar, and sentenced to be hung on board his ship, which
sentence will, it is said, be carried into execution to-morrow
morning. The prisoner made no defence, and the case was
made nut by letters under his own handwriting to the de-
ceased's moth,r, communicating his intention of taking the
boy's life, with a view of saving him from falling into vice and
sin, which his situation in life subjected him to. The pri-
soner appears to have committed the act in a moment of re-
ligious frenzy; but having shown no previous or subsequent
symptoms of mental derangement. the Court could not ec•
otherwise than pronounce the sentence of the law under the
articles of war.
It is pith much regret that we have to notice a melan-
choly occurrence, with loss of life during the stay of the
Hecate at lAA, by the capsizing of the pinnace, despatched
to the shore for the purpose of securing another boat
already there, and placing sentinels over some water-casks
on the heal'', unable to be got off, owing to the high wind
and heavy surf. The, First Lieutenant Austen, the pilot,
two &amen, and three privates of the 'loyal Marine Artillery
were drowned; other three in( n reached the shore by swim-
ming, and five were saved by a Turkish boat. The deceased
officer was'much eiteemed for his kind disposition and zealous
capability, and his loss is deeply lamented by all on board.
This is the only vacancy that has fallen to the gift of the Hear-
Admiral Sir-Francis Mason, and he has very considerately con-
ferred the same upon Mr. Joseph Dornford (Barge), Mate of
her Majesty's ship Howe (flag ship) the son of a very old
officer. The Savage arr.ved at Malta, from Alexan(ria, on
the Ist inst.

The hearing of tll►s case was concluded, his Lordship
postponed his judgment.

El2,—_Clow me; through the r olumns of your independent
Journal, to•vitnlii•ate mysel, as one of a body, from a foul
which the Editor of yesterday's 31orning Herald, with a reckless..
r,eSs of truth for which lie is proverbial, hls cast upon the Munici.
pality of Dublin.

I would not have addressed you if the writer had confided him-
self to the calumniation of an individual ; but not content with his
undertaking, he charges the Municipal Electors of Dublin with
infatuation, b^cause, in the exercise of their rights as burgesses,
they have chosen a Chief Magistrate, the objoct of his attack
What right has he to call into question the choice of a constituency
or to style their approbation by one unworthy epithet? Let him re-
collect that, they are a constituency composed of the wealth and
property of Dublin, not enjoying the rights of an enlarged suf-
frage, but the possessors of at least a 101. franchise ; not including
the mass of popular adherents, whose support, in the opinion of
this critic, might be questioned, or whose rights might be im.
pugned, but burgesses whose claims are thoroughly investigated by
the decision of a barrister, and whose right of voting is only rati-
fied after the strict test of a property qualification. Is, then,
the deliberate choice of such a constituency to find a censor
in the hands of an apostate scribe; or are they to be
accused of disloyalty, because, from a conviction of
the necessity of " A Repeal of the, Union, " they elect its sup-
porter ? Is their representative to be charged with having "for a
long series of years disturbed the peace and tranquillity of his
native country, when those years were devoted to the cause of
universal liberty—those years that succeeded in obtaining a corpo.
rate reform, and wringiag from the hands of a bigotted ascendancy,
of which this scribe is the vassal, . freedom of conscience for his
Roman Catholic brethren P Is he to be charged with having
" stimu►ated, by his ferocious example, others to the commission of

ROLLS' COURT, April 16.
Lord LANGDALE, at the sitting of the Court, proceeded to
hear unopposed motions, which engaged his Lordship up to the
time of our going to press. They were as usual quite devoid of
any interest of a public nature.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, April 16.
PEPPER V. BERNARD.

Mr. 'Timm ER in this Cdseap;ireiloTa rulnto show cause
why a new trial should not be had, on the ground of the verdict
being against evidence. The action bad been brought against the
defendant for the obstruction of a pew in the parish of Dun•
,now, which was claimed as appurtenant to a messuage in Dun
snow. The defendant pleaded—first, that the plaintiff was not
entitled to the ancient messuage; and, secondly, that she was
not entitled to the pew as appurtenant to that messuage. The
Case which was attempted to be made on the part of the plain-
tiff was, that there was one large pew appurtenant to the mes-
suage in question, but which, in the course of time, had been
divided into three pews, which weredistingeished as the tenants'
pew and the servants' pew. The claim in question was applicable
to that pew called the servants' pew. In the course of inquiry,
however, the plaintiff entirely failed in proving that which had
been laid down as the plaintiff's case. There was no witness
called who ever recollected the pew to have been in a different
state to what it was at the present time. It appeared that
the messuage in question, to which the pew was claimed as
appurtenant, was an old farm-house, which originally belonged
to a family of the name of Cellour. The farm-house had not
been occupied by that family, nor the family of the Peppers
who succeeded the Gelloun, but the. farte-house had been
occupied by a tenant: There were some old deedsynts in at
the, trial, the earliest of which was dated 1&96, whtekiiiit a
conveyance of the manor called Bigot's, and a capital
maun-house. This deed was recited in vas-ipso deeds
up to the year 1765. In 1790, Michael' ' Pepper
took a conveyance of the , manor from the Gellour
family, and in 1796 or 1793, the date was not very dis-
tinctly proved, Michael Pepper, who was the father-in-law of
the plaintiff, made.great alterations iu the farm-house, and built
an entirely new and separate mansion-house. From 1796 or
1799, after the building of that mansion, it was occupied by
' Michael Pepper, who died in 1812; John Pepper, the husband
of the plaintiff, who died in 1822, occupied the mansion after-
wards, the mansion being perfectly distinct from the farm-house.
With regard to the spew, called the principal pew, which was not
the one in dispute, tt appeared that that pew had been used prior to
1796 by two persons who then occupied the farm-house,and in 1799
Michael Pepper made some alterations in the pew. It ap-
peared in evidence that in 1828, after the death of Mr. John
Pepper, Mrs. Pepper being then tenant for life of the manor,
went abroad, and during her absence an alteration was made
in the interior of the church, by the removal of the reading-
desk, and in order to effect this it was tecessary to remove some
of the pews in the centre of the church, and amongst others
the pew in question. The solicitor to Mrs. Pepper remon-
strated against this, and wrote to- the Churchwardens on the
subject, who apologised, and said that they had no wish to in-
terfere with the property of Mrs. Pepper, and that if she
wished it they would restore the pew to its original
situation. With regard to the only matter in dispute,
the servants' pew, there was no proof at all of anything like a
claim to that pew. It appeared that the servants of Mr.
Wolff, the tenant of the farm in 1799, had been in the habit of
sitting in that pew prior to that year. At the close of the
plaintiff's case, he (Mr. Thesiger) submitted that the plaintiff
had entirely failed in establishing.her right to the pew. In the
first place she had not only not proved the existence of any
ancient messuage upon which the right was founded, but it had
been distinctly proved that the messuage was not in existence
prior to 1796 or 1799. The Learned Judge (Mr. Baron
Alderson) summed up the evidence strongly in favour of the
defendant, and much to the surprise of the Court, the Jury re-
turned a verdict for the plaintiff, first that there had been an
ancient messuage ; andseeondly, that the plaintiff had a claim
upon the pew by p. escriptive right. It Wai on the ground that
the verdict was contrary to evidence that this application was
made. —Rule granted.
APPLICATION FOR A CRIMINAL INFORMATION.
THE QUEEN V. MALINS.
In this case, Mr. CHILTON applied to the Court for Mr.
Smith, the gentleman on whose behalf the application was
made, for a criminal information against the defendant, on the
following grsunds :—.Mr. Smith was present upon the Com-
mittee of an Iron Company in the county of Glamorgan, at
which none but members could be present. The defendant,
however, intruded himself, and was requeste.l by Mr. Smith
to leave the Committee-room, which he refused to do,
and on Mr. Smith expostulating with him, he desired
Mr. Smith not to make an ass of himself, and shook his fist in
his face, on which Mr. Smith struck Mr. Malins. He then
left the room. and on the following dry Captain Powell called
upon Mr. Smith with a letter from Mr. Alalins, requesting him
to appoint a gentleman to arrange preliminaries for a hostile
meeting. On these grounds counsel for the plaintiff applied
fir a criminal information against Mr. Maims, and
contended that although the Courts generally held that
the party applying for a criminal infornaasion should be
himself free from blame, yet, that in a case like the present,
where Mr. Smith received such provocation, and where such
serious results might, follow, that rule could oat apply. The
Learne I Gentleman cited some cases favourable to his view.
Lord DENMAN thought it was a ease in which the Court
ought not to interfere.
AWN CLARK V. ItiWILLIAM, GARRA NT, AND r_trarcr.
In this ease an action had been brought by the plaintiff to
recover the sum of 101. for damages sustained by her in having
her goods unlawfully seized for the poor-rates fur the parish of
St. Pancras.

. -
Is he to be charged with being " engaged in a constructive re-
bellious correspondence with emigrants in a foreign state," because
he endeavours to ameliorate the condition of their country, from
which, poverty-stricken, they were driven, and to hold out the
hopes of brighter days, when, by the restoration of trade, and under
the government of a resident Parliament, " the houseless" and
" the wanderer," may return to " the land of their fathers I"'
He is next arraigned for having " dared to attack the purity of
English women." Here the ribaldry of the writer degenerates into
falsehood. Mr. O'Connell never " attacked the purity of the Eng-
lish character," but if the imputation lies any where, let him re.
collect that it was the Commissioners who made such a return to
the British Parliament.

CORONER'S INQUEST.
Wednesday afternoon a long investigation was entered into
before Mr. Baker and a Jury, at the London Hospital, on the
body of Charles Caull, aged 36, who was alleged to have died
from the effects of starvation, some particulars relative to
which appeared in this Journal yesterday.
John Smith, police-constable H 189, said that-on Wednes-
day morning about half-past six o'clock he was en duty in
George-yard, Whitechapel, when a woman informed hint that
there was a man lying in the passage of the house No. 10, a
loss lodging-house, the door of uh:ch was iavariahly left open
at nights, in an ins nsible.sta.e. He went there, and found
deceased lying on the floor of the first landing. apparently in-
sensible, but on close examination he found him quite dead
and cold, and conveyed him to the workhouse. The deceased
appeared to have been in a perfectly destitute state, and the
small portion of clothing he had on appeared to have been
workhouse clothing.
Sarah Ricks stated that she had cohabited with deceased
for the last seven years, and u, to Tuesday night last had lodged
with Lim at No. 11, George-yard. She got her living by going
out washing, for which she g one shilling per day and her
victuali. Between sevun and eight o'clock on Tuesday even-
ing, she was sent for logo home, as deceased wet in a deranged
state for want of food. Oa seeing her he begged her to get
him some food, but she had not the means of doing so. She
left him to go and finish her day's work, and on returning home
again about eleven o'c!ock the same night, she found a padlock
on the room door, and heard that the landlady had turned the
deceased out into the street because the 2s. for her week's rent
had not been paid her that morning. The landlady had also
seized upon the bed, and had directed the policeman to take
the deceased to the poor-house. She went in search of him,
but to no purpose. He had been in Spitaltields workhouse for
five weeks, and left it about a fortnight since.
Anne Short said that on Tuesday evening she saw the de-
ceased's landlady turn him out of the house. He appeared at
the time quite silly, and there was a mob collected, who cried
out " Shame." She was taking in some bread at the time,
and the deceased came and begged and prayed of her to give
him some. She took him in doors, and gave him same tea,
and lie ate upwards of half a quartern loaf, he was so ravenous.
Ile left shortly after. She heard groar.ing in the early part
of the night, but did not know where it came from. She had
no doubt he died from exposure and want.
Mr. Mears, surgeon, gave it as his opinion that the decease:l
had died in a fit, from the effects of ov,cr-eating, his stomach
being from its previous emptiness in a very weak state, and his
destitute condition.

The writer having exhausted all the venom which his fertile
imagination afforded in the foregoing charges, then descends to a
still baser and more unjust mode of attack. His calumny finds vent
in the following words :—" Who maintains himself and his family
by corrupt mendicancy, and is the greatest living begging-letter
im-
postor 1" If there ever could be a test of universal approbation
which would express to an individual the feelings of a nation. lauds.
tore of his course, and thankful for his services—the " Tribute"
is that test unsolicited and unimpelled, save by the consciousness
of his merit. A whole people rush forward with patriotic enthu
siasm, and throw at his feet the tokens of their gratitude. North,
south, east, and west, echo to the sentiment—there is but one spirit
abroad (and, mark me, that spirit annually increasing)—an emU:a-
tion to see who can best, and who soonest, make an offering to the
genius of their country. Grattan was presented with a fortune by
the Irish House of Commons, in consideration of his services in the
accomplishment of a free trade. That was a gift which, although
honourable, might be shadowed by suspicion. The interest of
Members, or rather the major.ty of Members, was only required to
legalize the grant. The feelings of the nation might, or might
not, be In consonance with the vote, and posterity would be left to
Inquire how far popularity ratified the boon.

The Coroner and jury s'J.on.gly animadverted upon the in-
humanity of the deceased's landlady, and the former suggested
that, as there was no distinct proof of starvation, the jury had
better return an open verdict.
The jury ult•mately returned a verdict of " Found dead in
the pzsmge of a lodging-house, but by what means there was
was no evidence to show."

But the " O'Connell Tribute" does not hang upon the caprice
of a few, or solicited individual aid to ensure its success. It is the
question of a people—the genuine outburst of their 4eelings—and
not a miserable or grudged per centage levied on their property—
the voice of a nation swelling with the praises of their defender
to give an unequivocal proof to surrounding nations that they are
not guilty of ingratitude.

The writer in the Herald gives the " cream" of his essay in the
following general stricture—" Whose political career has been venal
and disgusting I"' The opinions of the people of Ireland, in simul.
Uneously electing him Member for two Counties, and Alderman
for two Wards, at once give the lie to this calumny.
I have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient servant,

Mr. PLATT stated that a verdict had been entered for the
defendant, with liberty to the plaintiff to move to enter a ver-
dict for the sum of 101., the amount of damage, if the objec-
tion taken at the trial should be found not to prevail. Charles
Miller was the owner of two houses, situate Nos. 15 and 16,
Denton-street, St. Pancras. He had entered into a composi-
tion for the payment of the parish rates. Notwithstanding
this composition, the defendants took the goods of the plaintiff,
who was a lodger at No. 15, in execution, and to get
possession of them again she was obliged to pay the amount
demanded. The defendant pleaded, first, not guilty ; and,
secondly, that the grievance mentioned in the declaration was
done in pursuance of an Act of Parlament, and that a certain
sum of money had been tendered after action brought for the
grievance complained of. This sum of 6/. 9s. 6d. the plaintiff
refused to receive, and issue was joined upon it. A notice was
given to the defendants of the action, in which it was erro-
neously stated that the plaintiff resided at No. 16, Denton-
street, whereas it should have been No. 15, and this was made
a ground of objection to the action, arid was the objection re-
ferred to in the liberty given to the plaintiff to move for a ver-
dict,

INCOME TAX.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER, April 16.
ADLINCTON V. COLES.
The ATTORNar-GENERAL appeared to show cause against
a rule obtained in this case. The rule, which had been granted
by Mr. Baron Parke, called on the plaintiff to show cause why
a writ of execution should not be set aside, and why the money
levied on the order so set aside, should not be paid to the
defendant.

The defendant was the son of the leading partner in
the firm of Coles and Co. The affairs of the firm having
become involved many years ago, the plaintiff under-
took their management. After various transactions be-
tween the parties, they at length determined on coming
to a settlement of their accounts ; and the plaintiff on
that occasion laid claim to a balance in his favour of 8001.
The justice of the claim was disputed by the defendant ; and
after various legal proceedings between the parties, the rule
now under the consideration of the Court was obtained, and
the accounts were referred to the examination of the Master.
After considerable discussion among Counsel it was finally
agreed that the rule should be made absolute, that the judgment
in execution should be set aside with costs, that no further ac-
tion should be undertaken in the case, and that the accounts
should be submitted,to the arbitration of a barrister.

The following is the graduated scale of income tax suggested
by Lord Robert Grosvenor, to raise a revenue equal to that
prop :sed by the Government, at a fixed impost of 3/. per cent.:
Incomes above 1,0001., derived from all

l?E VIE IV COURT, April 16.
IN RE TETER TYNE.
Mr. I%I'CH tuvrix appeared in this matter for Mr. Abraham
Haines, the petitioning creditor. For several years prior to
September, 1840, the petitioner and Mr. John Evans carried
on the business of provision dealers, as partners together, in
the Borough. In September, 1840, a dissolution of the partner •
ship took place. Upon that occasion, Mr. Evans assigned
over to Mr. Haines all his interest in the partnership debts
and effects. At that time there wasa debt exceeding 1001. due
to the partnership from l'jne. Mr. Haines struck a docket,
and issued a fiat in bankruptcy against Pyne for the debt, as a
soparate debt due to him. When be attended, on the 11th of
the present month, before Mr. Commissioner cane to proceed on
the fiat, the Learned Commissioner refused to allow hint to do so.
He considered that the petitioner's claim was only an equitable
claim, and not such as could enable him to support the fiat.
Under these circumstances Mr. M'Christie applied for liberty
to amend the fiat by inserting the name of Mr. Evans into it,
upon fresh docket papers being filed, and having the debt
described as a joint debt, due to Haines and Evans.
The COURT, after some little hesitation, granted the order
as prayed.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSION-HOUSE.

Two men, named May and Jones, were brought before
the Lord Mayor, on suspicion of having robbed a countryman,
one John Mu!grave, a real yokel, of 30/. in sovereigns.
From the rambling statement of the countryman, who to the
surprise of the crowd in the Justice-room, proved to be a
Yorkshireinan, we collected that he hail been met in the street
at the west end of the town on the preceding day by a stranger,
who, no doubt, judging from his appearance that he was a flat,
entered into conversation with him, and invited him to a pub-
lic. house, where they saw a big scan, who described himself
as enormously rich, and exhibited bundles of what appeared
to be bank-notes and bills. Plenty of beer, and spirits, end
water having been called for, the countryman, who could not
be prevailed upon at first to exhibit what money he
had, became warm and merry, and not only :showed that he,
as well as his companions, had cash, but deposited thirty so-
vereigns in the big man's hat, which disappeared in a jiffy along
with the big man, and the other quickly followed, leaving Mr.
Mulgrave, whose great fondness for liquor evidently overcome
his natural caution, almost drunk, and without a shilling. Next
day, as the countryman was walking in the. City, he was asked
the shortest way to Threadneedle-street by the prisoner May,
and after a few words they went into a public-house, where
they saw Jones; and the countryman observing upon the two
men the identical great coats worn by the two persons who had
robbed him the day before, called a police-officer, and charged
them as thieves. He, however, admitted, that although the
coats were those which he had seen, the bodies were not •, and
he made another mistake, for, as he went along, he pointed out
a respectable man of large dimensions as the big man who had
got his 30 sovereigns the day previous. The gentleman was
taken into custody, but was immetPately discharged by the in-
spector, notwithstanding which he came to represent the cir-

they were the two coats that stole my money.
Inspector Todhunter said that, extraordinary as the coun-
tryman't statement appeared to be, there was foundation fur it
as regarded the two prisoners. He (the inspector) had ob-
served their =act, and he was induced to plant an officer in
plain clothes in the cell in which they were confined, to mark
their conversation, which left no doubt as to their guilt. He
felt convinced that he could, in a few days, satisfy the Lord
Mayor that it was proper to take the men into custody.
Lordship said he had no doubt of the bad character of the
prisoners, but he could not help expressing his 'A onder that a
Yorkshireman should have been the duve of so simple and
well-known a game. 11Iulgrave—I be a 1 orkshireman fur all

The Loan Mayon—And they paid for it all, I dare say ?
Mulgrave (shaking his head)-oh, yez; I took care they

The prisoners Here remanded. A publican, in whose house
some of the drink had been eon:Rimed, and who was also
brought up in custody,
.was discharged upon premise to appear
upon the second examination.
James irassaman, a German, was charged with having been
the accomplice in a robbery committed on Iriday in the shop of
Mr. William T. Middleton, silversmith, in Leadenhall-street.
The robbery was effected in a manner similar to that in which
the extensive plunder of jewels in Messrs. Ilundell and Bridge's
shop on Ludgate-hill was accomplished many years ago, by what
is called by thieves a-out-and-out near caper.
Mr. Hobler, jun., who appeared for the prosecution, re-
quested that the prisoner should be remanded, and the Lord
Mayor postponed the further investigation for a day or two.
