of the late well-known Comptroller and Secondary,,

.Comptroller, in addition to that-offiee, purchased the
'place of Secondary of the Poultry Compter, with
,power to alienate it; but, in 1803; he died suddenly,
and was thus prevented from alienati

X , ADJOURNED SESSIOVS.

Mr. WaLeona, on. the part of Mr. Ravenshaw,
one of the Directors of the East India Company, yes-
terday exhibited articles of the peace against a person
named Roach. Frbm the statement of the Learned
Gentleman, it appeared that Mr. Ravenshaw, in his
public capacity as an East India Director, fell under
the displeasure of Roach, who, in consequence, had
often threatened to take the life of the exhibitant, and
said he would serve Itavenshavr as Belliaghranr had
done Percival; it moreover appeared from the .aifi-
davits produced, that Roach' bad.fullo.wed.the.exhi-
bitant with loaded pistols.—A warrant wasinatantly
qranted against the offender.
Thomas Bonner, a carman in the service. of Mr.,
Jacob, a glass‘manufacturer near Soho.squaree was-,
indicted for wilfully driving .his cart .against the
chaise of Mr. Lilley, the Land Steward of the Mar-
quis of Stafferd,..on the 19th of October,last..
Mr. ARABI"? stated The case to the-Jury;- from
which it appeared, that on the day mentioned in the
indictment, the prosecutor and another 'gentleman
were in a gig ,in Grosvenor-place, and that the psi-
sooer drove his cart intentionally agaixt. it, although•
the toad was at least fifteen yr.rds wide, and Mr. Lil-
ley on the proper side of the way. The Learned.
Counsel, was ready to prove that the prisoner was
l'called to by the passengers as well as by the, prose-.1
'tutor and:his friend, to shorten his pace, and, keephis
own side of the road ; notwithstanding which he drove

after sold for half price. He was then much in debt.
The insolvent said, that when he made that pur.•
chase he was in eipectsuion of receiving £3OO from
his lather-in-law; a respectable timber merchant; as
Sittingbourne-; bet owing to the vindictive cnudect
of his creditors, hs lost both lhas and his situation in..
the South Sea House.
The Cotrar censored the.confitict of the insolvent
in living beyond his means; and 'contracting debts
without the probable meansof paying theist. It there..
fore remanded him for sir toottilti, and arderei blur,
to be confieed within the svalls,of the prison.
&epilog Thomas . Brice, a - glover , wet also re..
mantled for six months, for having vexatiously
gated his opposing creditor's claim

On this occasion the Chief -Ccimmissioner stated;
that there was a difference of -opinion betweets I#ar,
brother Cotnmissioners -and- himself, at .to. whet
or not a plea of the glperal issue .came within, the
penal clause of the Act. The majority, however, of
the Court decided in the affirmative, and thi question
was, therefove, settled accordingly'.
