TI&E FUNDS.

Consols, which left off yesterday at 91 for money
and 91 for the account, opened.at the same price
this morning, but at present may be quoted a shade
higher, 91i for the account, with little doing.
The Jamaica Mail does not bring any further ac-
counts from the Spanish expedition in Mexico.
A vessel has arrived from Bengal with despatches,
sailed on the 9th June, which is not of so late a
date as previous accounts from that quarter, conse-
quently it cannot bring any news of importance.
We understand that in consequence of the inter-
ference of Mr. Watts, the British Consul at Cartha-
gena, Mr. Miller, who was sentenced to death, has
received a free pardon from Bolivar, and is to (pit
Colombia.

TWO O'CLOCK
By the Jamaica Packet we have received letters
from Bogota, of the 14th Aug., which confirm the
peace between Columbia and Peru, and the public
place full confidence in the Liberator Bolivar. The
internal state of the country is daily improving.
Application has been made to Bolivar from the
Mining Company for leave to export ore to Eng-
land, which has been granted.
We are still without the arrival of the Ham-
burg and Dutch steamers ; consequently we have
no ►ntelligence from the Continent to communicate
at present. This being a holiday at the Bank, no
money transactions are going forward in the Funds,
but Consols are steady and improving. Consols
which were in the early part of the morning at
914 for the Account, may be quoted at 91i, buyers,
and 914 for Money.
In the Corn Market this morning there was but
little business going forward, and the prices of all
descriptions of grain were nearly the same as on last
Monday.
Our Foreign Market is void of interest, with not
much doing; but there is u small improvement in
most of the Foreign securities.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(IIIIS DAY.)
COURT OF CHANCERY.
QUESTION OF PRIVILEGE.-GIBB V. pnii,r,frsoN.

The SOLICITOR-GENERA L appeared on behalf of a gentle-
man, who had been arrested under particular circumstances.
to pray for his discharge. A subpoena had been served
upon him, when in London, to appear to be examined in
this cause ; notice was subsequently serve!, that the exami-
nation would proceed on Oct. 13. This notice was postponed
to the 17th, and again to the 22,1. In the interim he left
London, went into Cambridgeshire, and returned again
to town. On Monday, the 19th, as he was passing from
hie lodgings along Chancery-lane to the office of the vain-
tiff's solicitor, to see the draft of the interrogatories to
which he afterwards was to depose, he was arrested. A
similar application to the present was mule to Lord Ten-
terden, but that Learned Judge thought a notice to attend
at the Examiner's office on the 22d was not suf-
ficient to protect a witness in walking about the streets on
the 19,11. The Learned Counsel, however, conceived
that nothing could be more clear than that the prisoner
was entitled to his discharge, according to the law of this
Court.

Mr. PErvs apprehended that the Learned Judge at
Crown Law had been perfectly correct in the course he had
taken. The prisoner, though in his affilavit he had de
scribed himself to he of Bath, yet he had not resided there
~inee the year 1827; nor did it appear that Chancery-lane
was the direct course from the prisoner's lodgings to the
solicitor's office.

The Loan CHANCELLOR still, " If the gentleman had
resided out of London, and come to town for the purpose
of being examined—if the examination bad been post-
poned, and he had stayed in London during that post-
ponement, he would have been protected during the
whole of the time. But on looking at his affidavit,
I find that on the 15th he was screed with the. sub-
plena in London ; and there is nothing to show
that his residence was not in town. He is afterwards
told his examination will not take place immediately. He
then goes into Cambridgeshire, and again returns, not to a
strange part, but to the same place where he resider' before
in London. He is now in the same situation as if he bad
not gone out of town at all. He is then told • that on the
22d he will be examined, and on the 19th he is arrested
in the street; and he certainly would n t, on that
he protected under a notice to attend at the Examiner's
office on the 22d. But he says he was going to prepare
his examination ; and the question is, whether a person
who has had the notice I have de-cribed, is to be
privileged in going to a solicitor's office, to read
over drafts of his interrogatories, two or three days be-
fore he is to he examined? I apprehend there is no
case to chew, it has ever been decided that a person under
such circumstances would he protected in going even to
the Examiner's office ; and if not, certainly he cannot be
privileged in going to a solicitor's. If it had been neces-
sary for him to have seen the solicitor, the solicitor ought
either to have called upon or to have sent to him. lam
therefore of opinion that the gentleman cannot be discharged.
Mr. PKPYS applied for the costs of this petition.—Granted.

VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT.
This was the second seal.
WILDING V. BOLDEN.

- Mr. KNIGHT applied on motion for the adjournment of
the further hearing of this petition (which would stand
on the paper to-morrow) till the first day of petitions after
term ; and also that the affidavits already made, and to he
made, might be then read. The petition contained alle-
gations of a most serious n Iture against a Solicitor of the
Court, and prayed fur the reinstatement of 17,0001., which
it alleged had been improperly abstracted from the Court.
The case, it will be recollected, occupied a considerable
portion of tiate previous to the lung vacation, Counsel
were heard on both sides, and the matter ordered to
stand over for further affidavits, the Court binding down
the pi intiti to file his affidavits within the first, and the
petitioner within the second month. The principal doubt
originated in the pedigree of the petitioner, which his so-
licitor (a gentleman residing in Birmingham) was de-
termined, if possible, to clear up, and for that purpose exces-
sive labour, great diligence, and innumerable journies lad
been taken, awl every exertion used. That gentleman
undertook by his affidavit, upon which the present appli-
cation was founded, fully to prove the ease of his client,
and the falsity of the registers produced by the other side,
if the present application was granted. The delay could
only injure the party asking for it.
Mr. Sayre followed on the same side.

Mr. PEMBERTON did not oppose the adjournment of the
petitioner, but rcsioed strongly the allowance of filing
further affidavits. If tile Court was deciding the r;ght of
the parties to the 17,0001., then the evidence wished to
be put in by the solicitor for the petitioner would he ma-
terial. The question of pedigree was not now the one
before the Court.

The SOLIMOR-GENERAL and Mr. LotyNnEA followed
on the same side.

The VICE-CHANcEt.r.on, considered the petitioner en-
titled to the prayer of his motion, as far as it related to the
affidavits, but with reference to the petition being heard
on any particular day, it would be quite obvious the
Court could not appoint one. The petition was then or-
dered to stand over sine die, upon the understanding that
if any thing material was stated in the new affidavits of
the petitioner, which the respondents considered it neces-
sary to answer, they should he at liberty to make an ap-
plication for that purpose.—Costs reserved.
In the course of the morning his Honour intimated to
the bar that he might probably sit in the interim between
the last day of term and the first seal. This, however,
was not finally determined on, but the Court would take
care Counsel should have full notice of such a step. •
The Court rose at half-past twelve o'clock.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH.

COTTON V. JAMES.

Sir J. SCARLETT (with whom were Mr. Baouctuma
and Mr. Kru,v) stated to the Jury that this was an action
by James Hulmer Cotton, an architect and surveyor,
against Mr. James, an attorney, to recover goods to the
value of 1161. which had been taken by the defendant, and
to recover compensation in damages for the injury he had
sustained by having a malicious commission of bankruptcy
sued out against him. The plaintiff had once before
brought his action on the same ground, and the Jury in
that case had awarded him 4001. damages. The defendant
then obtained a rule nisi for a new trial, on the ground
that the Jury had returned excessive damages. This act
the defendant well knew would, from the great press of
business at that time before the Court, keep the plaintiff
out of the money for at least six months. Before it could
come on to be argued, the defendant sued out a writ of
error, which would have had the effect of keeping the
plaintiff out of his money for a year longer. Subse-
quently, however, this Court quashed the writ of error
as a breach of good faith, and made the rule for a new trial
absolute.

The trial was expected to last the greater part of the day,

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.
KEY AND ANOTHER V. SHAW.

This was an action brought by the assignees of Mr.
Sherwin, who some time since carried on the trade of a
bookseller in Paternoster-row, to recover the.sum of 301.,
which the defendant had paid to the bankrupt, for six
years' rent of a field, subsequent to the bankruptcy. It
appears that Mr. Sherwin was made a bankitipt in the
year 1821, and the plaintiffs at that time were appointed
assignees. In 1823 an uncle of 11r. Sherwin's died intes-
tate, and without issue, leaving considerable landed pro-
perty, which devolved upon the bankrupt, as heir at law;
and the real question for decision was, whether or not the
property so obtained belonged to the creditors under Mr.
Sherwin's commission.

The plaintiffs' case occupied the Court until half-past one
o'ciock. The cause will last the whole day.

At the village of Thornton, in Dorsetshire, an
ancient custom exits among the tenants of lands of depo-
siting five shillings in a hole, in a certain tombstone in the
church-yard, which prevents the lord of the manor from
taking tithe of hay during the year. This must be done
on St. Thomas's Day, before twelve o'clock, or the privi-
lege is los%

There is no truth in the report that Sir T.
LF.THBRIDGE has recently disposed of his Dunster estate.
Taunton Chronicle.

The parties itnplicated in the robbery at the
house of the Rev. W. F. HOOK, of Coventry, have been
dismered by means of a singular circumstance. It ap-
peais that the thieves in their search fell in with a bottle
of ink, which it is supposed that they mistook for port
wine, as there was some left in a glass on the table. Mr.
Hoot suggested to the Magistrates that this might be the
means of discovering the burglars, by some of them hav-
ing marks of ink about their clothes. It happened a few
(lays after that GARDNER, the constable, took a young
man to the police-office, who was reeling about the streets
in a state of intoxication, and upon examining his clothes
marks of ink were found upon them. He has undergone
examination, and has confessed the particulars of the rob-
bery and the number of his accomplices, Two others are
in custody.—Birmingham Gazette.
