SITTINGS.

It was conjectured throughout the Hall, during ea
greater part of the day, that Sir John Copley would sit
to-morrow as Chancellor, but from what fell from the Lord
Chancellor before he rose, the understanding was, that his
Honour the Vice-Chancellor alone will sit to-morrow to
bear motions, and that he (his present Lordship) will sit
again on Wednesday.
ANOTHER EDITION RESPECTING THE
JUDGMENTS.
His LORDSHIP observed to Mr. Treslove,—" Mr. Tres-
love, I find it will be quite impossible for me to get through
all the cases in judgment, that stand for judgment, before
am shipped off, and therefore I shall be exceedingly glsd
to know whether the bar and the suitors will take nif
judgments after I go out of office, as if deli7ered while in it.'
Mr. TRIZSLOVI was sure that his clients would be glad
to have this course adopted..

A THIRD EDITION.
Mr. HORNE, Mr. Suonxx, and others having seen sub-
sequently in the room,
His LORDSHIP said, I shall be obliged to part with my
family before I could possibly get through all the cases that
stand for judgment, therefore I shall be greatly obliged to
be informed, whether you will allow me to do as I did when
I went out of office in 1806; namely, give the judgments af-
terwards, just if I had been in office. I should actually feel
glad to do that, that parties may be saved the necessity of
incurring the expellee of having their cases re-argued be-
fore my successor.

All the Learned Gentlemen present considered the plan
moat desirable, and said they would communicate with
their respective clients upon it.
His LORDSHIP begged to be let know the decided im-
pression on the subject by about Thursday.
His Loansmir was proceeding with the lunatic matters

COURT OF KING'S BENCH.
ROLLIDAY V. MESSRS. XNDRRBY.

Mr. SCAULATP (with whom WAS Mr. PLATT) stated
that this was an action brought by the Captain of the ship
Rambler against the defendants, the owners of the vessel,
to recover ---. 1., the amount of wages allowed to be
due to the plaintiff for his services on a whaling expedition
to the South Sea.

It appeared from the evidence of the plaintiff's witnesses,
that the voyage commenced on the 16th February, 1823, a
few days previous to which the ship's articles were dated.
The plaintiff signed the articles, as chief mate, in which
character he continued until the arrival of the vessel at the
Friendly Islands. The vessel proceeded direct from Eng-
land to Port Jackson, and from thence sailed on a cruise
towards Sunday Island, where a whale was caught.--
They looked out for other whales, but did not suc-
ceed in taking any, until they arrived at the Friendly'
Islands, where a series of circumstances occurred which
put an end to the expedition. Two black men ',UV-
mg deserted from the vessel, the captain, whose naine.
was Powel, went ashore in pursuit of them, with four of
.the crew, and all five were inhumanly murdered by the
Inhabitants. The plaintiff having thus become the clu"f
officer of the ship, of course took the command, and re-
turned to Port Jackson, where he arrived early in APill
1824, and immediately took measures to make up his crew
in order to proceed on another whaling voyage. Not har-
ing succeeded in this object, by the advice of a person
named Campbell, the ship's husband at Port Jackson,
he left that place on the 10th of July, and proceeded on a
return voyage to England, with a crew of 24 men, 10 of
whom had been hired at Port Jackson, as substitutes for
the same number who had deserted or were lost on die
voyage. The ship came home with a freight.
The COMMON SERGEANT, with whom was Mr. Parke,
addressed the jury on behalf of the defendants, whom he
described as merchants of the highest respectability, who
declined paying the plaintiff's claim on the grounds that
he had abused and neglected his trust, incurred unnece,,sary
expences, and altered the voyage and destination of the
vessel, without any authority, by changing a whaling
o%,ln7rs.einto a trading voyage, to the certain loss of the

In support of the defendant's case, witnesses were pro-
duced, who swore that the plaintiff might have got a suffi-
cient number of men to proceed on a whaling voyage at
Port Jackson, and that he had made an unnecessary delay
at that Port, as well as at St. Helena, where the ship
touched on her voyage home. It was also stated, that 3
crew of fifteen men would have been amply sufficient to
navigate the vessel from Port Jackson to England, and that
the plaintiff during the voyage had grossly misconducted
appeasing intoxicated, keeping
himself, by
a woman ou
board the ship, and neglecting his duty.
Mr. SCARLETT having replied,
The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE, after summing up, left it to
the Jury to say, whether the plaintiff was entitled to the
wages which he claimed, and if lie were, whether he had
or had not forfeited his claim by misconduct during the
voyage.
Verdict for the Plaintiff.--The amount of damages to
be ascertained by arbitration.

THE COURIER.-There are papers which sail
with the wind—and always choose a trade wind I Ac-
cordingly we have the Courier at present greatly altered,
and therefore very fair and rational in its leading articles.
We have often pointed out to the Courier, and we know,
not without having been keenly felt, the base character of its
Dublin Correspondence. We have detected some of the
fabrications ourselves, other journals have done the same.
Mr. Peel, too, was obliged publicly to contradict one shame-
ful falsehood, and yet the Courier in no one instance ac-
knowledged the error—published the calumny, but with-
held the refutation, and instead of giving the author up t°
public indignation, actually receives and publishes similar
fabrications from the same detected source. If this systeM
does not cease we shall bring the Courier before the public
in a more distinct and serious manner. We also saw a late
paltry instance of jealousy to the rising SUN with great
contempt, evinced by the Courier writing a letter to itselfci
evidently intended to cast a shade upon the character SO
circulation of iw rival.—Asblin Patriot.

EXECUTIONS FOR HIGH TREASON.

(THIS DAY.)

Daniel Buckly and Jeremiah Andrews, who were
convicted at the late Kingston Assizes of High Treason,
under the Statute of Edward 111., for coining, were this
morning executed in front of Horsemonger-lane Gaol.
The circumstances attendin the detection and trial of

age, hut been for a considerable time extensively engaged
in e manufacture of counterfeit coin ; and to such perfec-

wiself repeatedly boasted, that he never met any mechanic
sani he could not excel even in his own peculiar craft—
ece his conviction he has been regularly attended by the
tne.v. 111 r. Mann, and although the Rev. Gentleman was
t unceasing in his efforts to convince the wretched cul-
prit of the truths of Christianity, it is to be regretted, that
h'up tea late hour yesterday, he persisted in expressing his
°ubt of the existence of a future state. There might be,
used to say, and he was inclined to think, there
aal a Deity, but he had a strong disbelief that there was
Klereafter." He was yesterday visited by the Rev. Mr.

pertinacity in support of his former opinions, he was per-
to admit his error ; but could not be induced to par-

it ought not to'be done in a hurry." The conduct of An-
formed a strong contrast to that of Buckly. Nothing

exceed the pious fervour and the resignation to his

was over sixty Years -)f age, and had been a regular
flits at a dissenting chapel. At an early hour
morning the convicts were removed to the pri-
blit', and chapel, and were engaged in prayer until
"Itnin a few minutes before nine o'clock, when the
Under-Sheriff arrived. Andrews was then conducted to
the chapel door' and while the executioner was in the act
janfi pinioning him, he addressed Mr. Knight and expressed
is earnest hope that they might meet in Heaven
"e, at the same time, thanked Mr. Walters, the
governor of the goal, for his humane attention to
"n
, and shook hands with several persons who
Were standing near him. When his arms were secured he
returned to the chapel, and walked up to the Rev. Mr.
`l4ann, " I hope, my poor fellow, said Mr. Mann, that you
Srs resigned to your fate, awl admit the justice of your
tuaishrnent. A merciful God will, I trust, pardon you."
I . deserve to die, I know I do," replied Andrews, "I have
iblaeed committed many crimes ;—I am a wretched 'linnet,
feel that through Jesus Christ I shall be forgiven."
said the Rev. Gentleman, " I want you to admit that
!_ftffer justly for the particular crime of which you have
.convicted." " Oh, now I understand you," replied drams.An-
,„ "I certainly deserve to die, inasmuch as I have been
ricted by a Jury of my countrymen, but I had nothing to
°lowith the manufacture of the coin, and was merely ern-
tar4 to work for my hire." Whilst this conversation
going on, Buckley was being pinioned—he exhibited
