Ex-parte, CRAWLEY.—FINAL JUDGMENT.

Mr. Rose this day appeared on the part of one
of the Commissioners (the other two being absent
from town), and expressed his willingness to
consent to aoy order his Lordship might be pleased
to make in this important case.
The LORD CHANCELLOR said, he had nothing
to do with the examination before the Commis-
sioners. The case came before his Lordship on
the writ of Habeas Corpus. He had examined
the warrant, and found it very defective : he had
also read over the proceedings antecedent to the
committal; and with all due respect for the Com-
missioners, he must say, that their minds had
been influenced, for he cuuld not conceive that the
mind of an honest man could have been other-
wise, under all the circumstances of the present
case. His Lordship felt the difficulty under which
they had laboured, and aware that those feelings
most have their effect, was at a loss to know 'in
what manner they could extricate themselves.—
After reviewing, generally, the kw of the case,
and observing on the little dependence to be
placed nu law authorities iw general, his Lordship
adverted to the case in which Lord Ctiiet Justice
De Grey and his Colleagues had found the an-
swer given by the person in gttestior°"•• be •

reef i woue Aenyon and his L,olleagues had
come to a conclusion directly opposite. "So
mtiel;," said his Lordship, " for authorities, and
the opinions of Judges."
Sir SAMUEL ROMILLY begged to submit, that
the opinion of the Lord Chancellor was perfectly
correct, as to the right of the Court to discharge
the Prisoner, but wished to know if the discharge
would go to the full extent in respect to the com-
mitment.

The Loan CHANCELLOR would be cautious in
discharging the bankrupt, it the objection was
merely as to form, but here it was wrong in sub-
stance ; and, under all the circumstances, coupled
with the close attention he had given to ir, he
felt himself bound to discharge the Petitioner,
Sir SAMUEL RomiLLY—,-My Lord, tuay I ask
your Lordship, " in what way will the gaoler be
authorized to discharge him i"
The Loan CHANCELLOR directed the gaoler to
discharge the Prisoner in the usual way, teeling,
atter the able manner in which the case had been
conducted, no other mode of proceeding would
be collect.

OPERA HOUSE..-.WATER3 V. TAYLOR.

Sr SAMUEL ROMILLYwEis this (ley heard in re-
ply to the arguments used yesterday by Messrs.
Hart, Barber, and Bell, respecting the payment
of 8,6001. by Mr. Waters. The case has so often
appeared in THE SUN, and thepresent question
bearing no new feature, we abstaiti from entering
at any length into it. It was, in the 'present in-
stance, an Appeal from the Judgment of his Ho-
nour the Vice-Chancellor, ordering time money to
be paid, and which appeared at "the time in our
Report
,of the proceedings of the Court in which
his Honour presides.
Mr. MILLS (the Solicitor of Mr. Waters) said,
in reference to some obserVations • of Sir Samuel
Romilly, that the question relative to the ac-
counts had never been agitated before the Master.
Mr. TARIIANT (Mr. Taylor's Solicitor) made
some pertinent remarks relative to the claim of
Mr. Taylor. He said Mr. Taylor'scase had not
been properly elated to the Master. The report
had been drawn up. in a hurry, and consequently
much against Mr. Taylor.
The LORD CHANCELLOR. in fine; confirmed the
jugdment of the Vice-Chancellor„.and ordered
the money to be paid into Court, observing that
he had now heard all parties, and he felt himself
bound to come to this conclusion.

Mr. MILLS—My Lord, 1 am now placed in a
very awkward situation.
The LORD CHANCELLOR—Pooh ! Mr. Mips,
have not you and 1 been placed in this situation
for the last seven years ? Judgment of Vice-Chan-
cellor confirmed.

Mr. KEAN, on his arrival in Paris, took up his
residence at the London Hotel, at which time
160 English persons lodged there. He was al-
most immediately visited by T ALMA, who gave a
superb dinner to Mr. KEAN, and a numerous
party, on the 15th instant. Mr. KEAN WAS to
