LdW INTELLIGENCE

COURT OF 'CHANCERY, JANUARY 26.
KENNLT, IN THE MATTER OF GOOD, A BANKRUPT.
Mr. CULLEN stated, this was, the petition of a cre-
ditor of the bankrupt, to stay his certificate, on the
ground that he had lost at gambling more than the
hum of •i 5 at one time. This was supported by the
affidavit of a Mr. Mai tin, setting forth, that he saw
the bankrupt lose 4430 at a sitting, in the gambling-
house, No. 55, Pall-mall. In answer to this, the
bankrupt had sworn, that it was impossible that he
could have been at No.! 55, Pall-mall, at the time
set forth by Martin, as he .he bankrupt, was a pri-
soner confined in the rules of the Fleet Prison; to
which Martin replied, if he was at the time a pri.
toner in the rules of the Fleet, be had broken the
for he was certainly at No. 55, Pall-mall, at
the time mentioned in hi> ( Martin's) former affidavit.
1 he bankrupt answered this by another affidavit, set-
ting forth, that Martin was not a person to be be-
lieved on his. oath ; that-he was a common informer
and swindler, and that /le had acknowledged to the
bankrupt that he had entered into a conspiracy with
ibe petitioner, Kennet, who keeps a gambling-house
St. James's-street, to ruin the bankrupt. The
Learned Counsel said, that the petition only prayed
tliat his Lordship would direct an issue, to try whe-
t:.er the bankrupt had not lost more than £3 by gam-
• Wing at one sitting.
Sir S. ROMILLY, Counsel for the bankrupt, con-
tended, that there was no ground for the staying of
the bankrupt's certificate ; that the affidavits of Mar-1
tin had been fully answered, and that he ought not
20 be believed. It was a conspiracy against the bank-
tapt from the commencement : he had been an officer
in the army, and the commission of bankrup:cy issued
against him as a merchant. He trusted, theriore,
that his Lordship would dismiss the petition.
The LORD CHANCELLOR observed, • that the statute
would not allow him to direct an issue, but the peti-
tioner was at liberty to bring his action, and try the
question in a Court of Law. He would not stay the
certificate of the bankrupt. There was gross perjery
on one side or the other, and the party who teltium-
self right might indict the other for perjury.
Petition dismissed.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JANUARY 2r.
SPECIAL ADVOCATE.

Previous to the Court going into the peremptory
paper this day,
The SOLICITOIt GENERAL observed—" My. Lord,
this being the last day for receiving applications for
new trials, I wish to intimate to your Lordship, that
there is a person in Court who desires to say some-
thing on that subject. I have taken the liberty of
Intimating this to your Lordship only as a matter of
WOrmation."
Lord ELLENBOROUGH enquired whb the party was ?
siels?.n a Lady of respectable appearance stepped for-
ward on the floor of the Court, and bowed to their(
Lordships.
Lord ELLINBOROUGH-64 What is your application,
Madam ? What have you to state to the Court ?"
Answer 4'g My Lords, I want a new trial."
Lord ItueNaonotrong4 In what cause ?"
-Answer—,, In the cause of Sheriff and Godbold."
Lord ELLENBOROUGII4I What was the nature of
lie action ; and when was it tried 1"
Answer—" My Lord, it was an action for a breach
dt promise of marriage ; it was tried before your
Lordship, and I was the plaintiff."
Lord EcnEnaonovou-41 Have you any Counsel,
or professional adviser 1"
N4fes: SHERIFF—" My Lord, I had Counsel at my
trial—Mr. Park and Mr. Richardson."
Mr. PARK--" My Lord, I was of Counsel for this
Lady at the trial ; it was an action fora breach of
promise of marriage. The Jury gave forty shillings
damages."
• Lord Emattmattoutut—" Have you no professional
, adviser 'pn the present occasion ?" 1
.M 4. 'Sill/RIFF—My Lord, I have trot ;—and the
k teaser; why is, that L cannot get possession of my
kaperS;"
' • Lord Etaliianitovou-4. What do yqu coraplaiw
Of ; the amount of damages, or what ?" •
Airs. SHERIFF--" I complain of the damages being
too small : but I also complain of the injury done to
my character, by the defence set up at the trial."
4.ord ELLENBOROUGH then read his notes taken at
the trial, and again asked Mrs. Sheriff what grounds
Of complaint she had ?
Mrs. SIIERIFYII My Lord, the defence set up in.
jur ed my character much."
Lord E LLEN BO ROUGH—" You did not think the da-
mages sbificient ?"
MIS. SIiERIFF —" No, my Lord ; but I think more
of the injury done to my character. by the defence."
Lord' ELLENBPROUGH--." The Jury gave only aos.
because they thought the lois of such a husband not
worth more. I remember there were some ludicrous
circumstances occurred at the tria, which placed the
defendant in a singular light ; and certainly no great
favour was strewn to him. The Jury having come to
an opinion, it is impossible for the Court to set aside
the verdict atter their solemn determination, but upon
stronger grounds than those,now stated."
Mrs. SHERIFF" My Lord, I had nine witnesses
to examine, who were not called ; and documents to
mid, which were not produced."

THE KING V. THE INHABITANTS OF ST GRORGE9S. .
i • Mr. GURNEY applied to the Court to enlarge the
Rule obtained by Mr. Jekyl last term, directing ths6
inhabitants of St. George's, Hanover-square, to pay,
the sum of *1250 toward., defraying the expences of
repairing the pavement in Piccadilly. He mak
this applkation in consequence of a subsequent ar-,
rangement having taken place between the parties,:
and an application having been made to Parliament
on the subject. •
. _

Mr. JEKYL stated, that he was instructed to consent.
Lord ELLENBOROUGH•-•••41 %be Rule must then be
'made per, mptory for a future day, now to be named.

BIONOLD v. WATERIIPUSE.
This was a cause tried before Mr. Justice BAILEY,
at the Sittings after last Term,.at Guildhall, and was
an action brought to recover the amount of a parcel
.of bank notes, sent, by, the Norwich coach to Messrs.
Fraser's and Co►'s Bankers, in Cornhill. The parcel,
it appeared, arrived safe in London, but was lost
whilst in the custody of a servant of the defendant, in
its way from the Swan-with-Two-Necks, Lad-lane,
to Cornhill. At the trial the plaintiff was, under the
direction of the Learned Jude, nonsuited on the
grounds of having neglected to inform the proprietors
that the parcel exceeded sCS in value ; a notice being,
as usual, posted up in the coach-offiee, stating, that
the proprietors would not be answerable for any par-
cel lost, if above that value, unless paid for as such, at
the time of leaving it.
Mr. PARKE now applied to have the nonsuit set
aside, on the grounds that the regulation in question
did not apply to the plaintiff, who, as appeared at the
trial, was, in consequence of some agreement between
him and the coach proprietors, entitled to send these
particular parcels (namely, banking parcels) free of
all carriage. At one period of time, the word Bank-
ing," was written on the outside of them, to denote
to the coachman what the packet contained ; but it
being considered that this word might also convey
information to others, it was changed, and latterly
the word Carriage" was substituted for it. This
was on the parcel which was lost, and the learned
Counsel now submitted was, under the existing regu-
lations, sufficient notice to inform the defendant that
the parcel was of value.—The Court granted the
rule to chew cause.

A, Quarterly Assembly was held in Dublin, on
Friday last, at which a Petition to Parliament was
agreed to, for opening the East India trade to the
port of Dublin, and such other out-ports as might be
deemed expedient —Mr. GIFFARD proposed a Reso.
lution for a Petition to Parliament against the Ca-
tholic Claims, to which Mr. HARTY proposed, as an
Amendment. 46 That every coficession should be
granted to the Catholics, consistent with the integrity
of the Constitution." This Amendment was nega-
tived by a majority of 25; the numbers [Ring—Fin-
it '23 ; against it 48. The original Resolution was
then put and carried by a majority of 37 ; the num-
bers being—For it 35 ; against it 18.
A duel took place, at Tralee, on Tuesday se'n-
, night, between Mr. John Conpell, brother to the bar-
, rister, and Mr. Blennerhasset, in which the former
was wounded ; the ball, passing through the tongue,
tore the jaw-bone, and lodged in the back of his
neck, among the arteries : he is, however, still alive.
The dispute related to politics.
SUDDEN DEATH.—Yesterday afternoon, about two
o'clock, as Mr. INMAN, a gentleman from Bristol,
was returning from the Bank, in company with a
friend, at the corner of Bucklersbury he made a sud-
den halt, and instantly dropped down dead : his body
was immediately conveyed into a neighbouring house,
and afterwards removed to Wal!nook church. The
deceased bad nearly ielo,ooo in his pocket when he
fell, which was properly taken care of.
Last week, a woman residing in Military-row,
Portsea, was unfortunately burnt so much, as to occa-
sion her death on Thursday last. She was sitting by
the the a ith a child in ber lap, when her cl,ithe.4
caught the blaze.

A few days ago, G. Ttylbr, Wright to T. Graham
Esq. of Kinross, with Mr. Graham's gamekeeper,
and his son, went out to St. Sert's Island, in Loch.
leven, to shoot will geese; Taylor, when about to
leave the island, fired off his gun, when it burst, aspi:.
the lock sunk two inches into his head, a little above
his right eye. His companions wok him home, whea
the luck was extracted, and part of the brain,along
with it, but he lived eight days after the accident.•
An old lady, of the name of Brent, who resided in
West-square, died alcw days ago, of the bite of a
favourite dog. The animal at the time chewed no
signs of madness, and a fortnight had elapsed before
the dreadful effect was discovered. The son of the
deceased, and seven other persons have also been bit
by the same dog, but the wounded parts having been
immediately cut away, hopes of their recovery are
entertained.

Wednesday a woman was committed to Sandwich
gaol, hum the Isle of Thanet, where she was appre-
hended by the father of a child which she had stolen
from near Battle, in Sussex, from whence she had
been traced by the anxious parent, who is a labour-
ing man. The motive of the thief appeared to be,
to impose herself on the public as an object of cha-
rity, assuming the character of a soldier's wife.

since Monday se'nnight two or three prisoners
have been missing from the Depot at Perth, but it is
not vet known how they effected their escape. The
whole number of prisoners now in the Depot is 6788,
being only twelve under the complement for which
the building was originally designed.
Mr. BETTERTON, jun. of the Regency Theatre,
Bristol, wets taken into custody on Monday last,
upon a warrant granted upon an information. The
information was founded upon an Act of 9 Geo. 11.
which' designates persons performing plays, &c. with-
out due licence, as rogues and vagabonds ; and there-
fore subjvct to be committed at the discretion of the
Magistrates. The evidence went to prove that the
informer paid -his pit admislion, and saw Mr. BET.
TERTON in the character of 7 irnour the Tartar.. Upon
this fact being proved, he was sentenced to seven days
imprisonment.

To Mr. B. Gusyr, No. 9, Great Surrey-street, foot of Black-
friar's-bridge.
SIR—For seven years of my life I have been vio-
lently afflicted with rheumatism in my left leg and thigh.
During that time, I had what I considered the best medical ati-
vice,which only gave me a small temporary relief; until at 1.:4t it
became so bad, tha; I was obliged to take to a strong stick to help
me along, both in doors and out; when one morning I was taking
a turn in the street, a friend saw me, and asked the-cause of
walking with a stick ? I informed hint. He then recommended
me to you, and gave me your address. Thr next morning I wai-
ted on you, when in extreme pain : in thiley minutes I was per-
fectly relieved, and in two days had no farther occasion for a
stick. I continued the Lotion and Pills for sis weeks, and have
had no return of pain on that side for the last seven years; but
have twice since then felt this disorder in the other s!riel which
by the use of your Medicines for two or three days have bets:
quite restored, nor have I bad any symptoms of it for the last
two years. I have recommended your Medicines to hurdrais of
people in Loudon, who have used them with such advantage,
that I have for several years taken them in considerable quanti-
ties to Lisbon and Rio Janeiro, where they have been used by
Medical Gentlemen with almost universal success ; consequently
I do consider that justice Ind Luroani,y,require et me to make,
your disLoveries as public as possible. 'I herefore by pallshill my
