in-law and attorney of Mr. Hayne.. He knew that the
plaintiff was in his brother in.law't service, but could
not say that he was on board wages—could not re-
collect that Wheeler boarded out of the house; was
almost certain he lived in the house, excepting a short
time in August; was not aware that Wheeler ever
made any disbursements for Mr. Hayne. He remem-
bered Mr. Hayne paying the plaintiff some accounts,
and at the same time telling him not to make any
paythents for him in future. Witness did not believe
any disbursements had been made by the plaintiff, be-
cause Mr. Hayne was at all times too liberal in his
advances to his servants. With respect to the sum of
201. Wheler had himself solicited, that it might be held
over to I..•rvegrove's acconnt. Did not remember
'laving seen Mr. 'Rayne more than twice in a hack-
ney-coach.
The next witneu was a young man named Harlon, footman to
Bliss Foote. • _ _

Mr. PHILLIPS very considerately said to him, el Now
you are in the service of a Lady, it it not nece:s try for
the case that her name should be stated, and I had ra-
ther you would not mention it."
The footmantook the.hint, and never mentioned Miss
Foote's name during the examination.—Mr. Hayne was,
he said, in the habit of visiting his mistress ; did not,
however, ever remember Mr. Hayne's coming in a
hackney-coach to see her. Remembered going from
Southampton to Bath with his mistress, who was to
meet Mr. Hayne there. Mr. Hayne was punctual.—
Wheeler, the plaintiff, went with witness from South-,
ampton to Bach in a post chaise. Whceler paid the
expenses.--46 Missis" met him at the Inn there.
Cross.etamined by Mr. ADOLTHUS.—Do you not know that Mr.
Ilayne always paid for everything? Witness.—l believe he did.
Mr. Anoi.rous.—Da you not kno* that he was very profuse in
giving his money to servants? Witness.—Yes; he was very much so.
A Mrs. Baker proved, that in August,lB24, the plaintiff lodged
in her house for 17 days.
Mr. ADOLPHUS, for the defence, said, that his client
had been held out to the world as a man who might be
successfully attacked, sneered at, and preyed upon by
all who might think proper to select him for imposi-
tion. Plaintiff seeing how money was to be made,
availed himself of the opportunity, and tried his action,
being well assured if he lost it, he would only be where
he was, and if he gained it, he would have a consider-
able sum in pocket. Mr. Hayne had not thought it
worth his while to defend the action in the Court above,
but the Jury might be assured that the plaintiff had.not
paid the various items ; or he would have been able to
prove them. An attack had been made on the charac-
ter of his client, as if he had turned the plaintiff away,
because he refused to give false testimony ; but this was
very far from being the case; it was because the plain-
tiff refused to give evidence that was true that Mr.
Hayne discharged him. It was always difficult to get
an under-servant to give evidence against an upper one,
especially when the upper one was a steward, in the
habit of lending money to and otherwise accommo-
dating those who were subordinate. The case, indeed,
was a most abominable one—it was only got up to make
paragraphs for the Sunday Newspapers of to-morrow.
Mr. Puna.ws.—That is a design more worthy of the wisdom of
the other side, for Stmdayrapers are seldom published on a Tuaglay.
Mr. ADOLPHUSWeII, then, for the Papers of to-morrow. I
contend that nothing has bee; proved against my client, who,
whatever may be the issue, is Well content to rest himself in the
bosom of an honest Jury.
The SECONDARY, in his charge to the Jury, said he
was afraid the plaintiff could not go beyond the sum
of 481. which had been offered to him. There had been
scarcely a single item proved. The money that was
paid by him for the post•chaise might have been given
,to him by his master, and the 201. sent by him to the
Steward, it-was proved, was at his desire placed to the
Steward's account. It was singular that no book should
have been kept by the plaintiff to put down those small
disbursements, and it was indeed singular, that he should
have Made them after he was desired not to do so, ac-
,cording to Mr.-Carter's statement.—The Airy assessed
the damages at fifty gluineas.
INSOLVENT -11E13TORS' COURT, MAY 16.
Mrs. Mary I3aily, who was described in her Petition
as late of Turnbam-green, and formerly of East Grin-
stead, farmer, appeared to receive judgement, The In-
solvent was examined on the 26th ult. and was opposed
by a great body of creditors ; when it appeired that she
had contracted debts to the amount of several hundred
pounds, principally by the purchase of furniture, which
she obtained under fraudulent pretences. She agreed,
in almost every instance, tapay ready money ; but after
the delivery of the , she broke her contract, and
eventually the TUrnratigreen establishment was strip-
ped of everything, 'and the property sold to an aim,
tioneer in Chancery-lane.
The COURT said that her offence was sggiatated
greatly by her attempting to bolster hei case by. perjury ;
and to mark her offence ,he was sentenced to,two years
imprisonment within the walls of tile King's Bench.

2. That this Meeting see no danger likely to arise to the Protes-
tant Establishment in this country, by granting Einancipatioo to
our Roman Catholic Brethren, for we cannot allow ourselves for a
moment to imagine that the part of the population professing the"
Roman Catholic faith can ever persuade the great body of the peo-
ple to part with a religion endeared to thefts from their earliest re-
collections, and which brought to them, and even tends it, maintairy
religious and civil liberty.
3. That this Meeting feel assured from history and esperience,
that in removing those restrictive laws which now create so twoly
causes of division and heartborning among the popohtion of Iry
land, no evil would result thereftfun, whereas onion, kindly feeling,
and the many advantages growing out of such a ware of society
would arise, and thereby greatly add to the strength of the etaapior„.,
and the happiness of Its people.
4. That a Petition be presented to the House of Lrirds is favour.
of Catholic Emancipation.
Mr. DAVIES rose to second the motion of the Icy:-
speaker. That Gentleman had, in (act, echo:wed t.te
subject before the acsembly ; he would thereloie
remark, that the present, as a subject, was one which'
had formerly united a Pitt and a Fox, however opposett:
they were on other points, and at the present day had
united a Canning and a Burdett.
The Resolutions mere then put, and, with the deception acne
dissenting hand they passed unanimously.
Mr. MACKINTOSH rose and said, that being the only
person who had opposed the passing of the Resolutions,
he thought it his duty to explain the reason of this pro-
ceeding. He did not conceive thatthe.beneficiol results
anticipated from Catholic, Emancipation would be pro-
duced by the enactment. He had intended to move
some amendments, but as he perceived the general opi-
nion was so decidedly against him, he begged leave to
withdraw his opposition—(App.'ause).
The Petition was then read ; and after a vote of Thanks to the
Chairman, for his condoct, had been carried, the Meeting broke ti y..

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

BOW-STREET.
The driver of a hackney coach was summoned for being absent
from his coach without lawful same. lk was convicted in the
penalty of 101. and 4s. costs. He declared his inatitty to pay it,
and was ordered to be committed for 14 days to the [louse of Cor-
rection. However, he afterwards paid the fine and coats.

An application was made by letter yesterday, to Sir R. Bram,
by the Lady of a very celebrated actor, inquiring into circumstances-
of an examination which she understood had taketr place here its
the case of a young girl named Catherine Fry, who was supposed
to have destroyed her child. The fair writer expressed a wish for
know if the girl was really an object of commiieration, as, if that
was the case, she and others were anxious to do something for herr
Sir R. Stamm made inquiry of the clerks, and it was .uggested
that the person meant was in all probability Caroline Fry, on whose
newly-born child, of which a Manager of a Theatre was said to be
the father, an Inquest was held, and a verdict of " Accidental
Death" returned. An answer was sent to the Lady to this effect,
and referring her to St.-Giles's Workhouse, where the young woman
is still living.
A poor woman, named Elizabeth Hall, was placed at the bar on.
suspicion of having improperly disposed of two baskets of linen,.
which had been entrusted to her to take to the house of Lord Ches-
terfield, in South Audley-street, May-fair, by Anne Midrib-ditch,
a laundress at Kensington. It appeared, however, by her defence,
which was corroborated by other witnesses, that the linen had been
taken from .her, near the door of the house, by a man who pre-
tended to be a servant to his lordship ; and the Magistrate directed
an officer to make futther inquiry into the circumsLoces ; the pri-
soner, meantime, remaining in custody.

GUILDHALL.
Lord Chetwynd appeared at this Office, to claim an elegant
gokl bracelet, which an Irishwoman, named .7ardais, bad been
stopped in attempting to pledge with Mr. Reeves, pawnbroker,
So9Whill. His Lordship stated, that Lady Cnerwrins missed it
in passing from Mond-street to Harley-street. He had seen the
account of the woman having been stopped in the newspaper, and
'now brought a bracelet to match, to satisfy the worthy Alderman.
Therahie of the pair was about thirteen pounds. Mr. Alderman
Lucas directed his Lordship to be sworn to the fact of his Lady
having lost such an article, and to the one produced resembling the
bracelet so lost, and then restored it t►► him, remarking, that t►e
woman who found it had a family, and her husband was a prisoner
•in Giltspur.street Compter ; but as she endeavoured to convert it
toher own use, instead of bringing the property to a Magistrate,
or advertising it herself, he could not recommend his Lordship to,
leave any compliment for her. She had .hewn a want of principle
that should meet no want/Rance whatever. • His Lordship coin-
cided in this remark, and retired.

We understand that the Treaty of Commerce be-
tween this country and Buenos Ayres received the
KING'S signatine ons Wednesday last wand on the:fok
lowing day, Mr.. RIVADAVIA, the Envoy for Buenos
Ayres, had an interview with Mr. CANNING, at Coombe-
wood, in which the treaties were exchanged. Mr. lit-
VADAVIA has thus had the happiness of completing in
his own person the great measure, which owes Its ori-
gin principally to his talents and good conduct inthe
administration rf the affairs of his country.. This is
not, however, the only. benefit for which Buenos Ayres
is indebted to Mr. ltsvanaviA ; the Associations fat
working the Mines of La Plata, for establilaing
at the seat of Government, and for promoting colotriza-
tion in the eonntryi are undetstcod all to have originated
from his suggestions and encouragement.
