Application for a new trial was refused.
akeT V. DUTCHMAN.
' Mr. Jams applied to have a Rule made. absolute
which had been granted to show cause why the costs
of the defendant should not be taxed, agreeable to
the Act of Parliament, making the Plaintiff liable to
costs resulting from a malicious or vexatious arrest,
and holding to bail in a larger sum thin might after-
wards be recovered.
This case went before a Jury in the *one of the
Sittings in the present Term, the sum untended for
being £lBO, the amount oi-Doubloons entrusted to
the Defendant, the
,Captain of the vessel in which
the Plaintiff, a lady, had come from Barbadoes to
England as a passenger ; an the Defendant had
been arrested and held to bail for that sum. On the
trial, however, there was a set-off against the amount
for the lady's passage, &c. ; • and the Jury gave a
verdict for £4O, deducting the ckarges adduced
against her by the Captain.

Sir W. &ARROW-acid Mr. READER contended, that
whatever might have been the result of the trie, cer-
tainly nothing like a vexatious and malicious pro-
cecding, on the part of the Plaintiff, had been made
out. There had been a reasonable and probable
ground of action, although by defect of evidence
they had not been able to make out the whole demand
iginally gone for ; and the Act was only intended
to apply to vexatious cases. -
Mr. Jeans maintained, that this case tame within
the meaning of the Act in question, as the Plaintiff
had held the Defendant to bail for a much larger
suns than had been recovered, or was entitled to.
• Lord ELLENSOROUGH said, that the Act of Par-
`lament relied on in this instance was intended to
Apply to vexatious cases ; but certainly the present
could not be so characterized, for the amount of the
arrest had actually been lodged in the hands of the
Captain." As to the amount recovered, certainly
there was something mysterious in the relation in
which the Captain and the Lady stood to each other;
and possibly it might be that she did not expect, in
consequence of that relationship, to have any such
charges brought against her as had been adduced at
the trial by the Captain. It might be a happy cir-
cumstance for the parties that there did exist this de-
gree of obscurity ; for, perhaps, the more the matter
might be proved, the more might be revealed to the
discredit of some one. But the arrest could not be
termed vexatious.—Rule refused.

The backers of Time forfeited to the Kentish-man,
on Saturday; so that no race of a mile in four mi-
nutes and a half took place, to the disappointnient of
hundreds who assembled yesterday at Islington.

standing together at a curling match on Camrue
Loch, in the parish of Kirk:Michael, Dumfriesshire,
the ice suddenly gave way, and ten persons sunk into
the water. Assistance being instantly procured. five
of them were got out, but the other five perished, viz.
Mr. William son of Mr. James *Gill,
.in
Corshill ; Mr. James Paterson, son of the late Mr.

HENRY E. TAAFFE; ESQ. AND OTHERS, AGAINST THE
RIGHT HON. WM. DOWNES, CHIEF-JUSTICE OF HIS

MAJESTY'S COURT OF KING'S BENCH.

This was a Demurrer to the Defendant's plea to
an action, brought by Plaintiffs, for an assault and
false imprisonment.

Fridiy in favour of the Demurrer. This day the
Court resumed giving judgment when the oilier

Sunday se'nnight, near Inhington, as a number of
boys iu that neigl.bourhood were amusing themselves
on the river Irthing, the ice gave way, and two of
them were drowned.

Sunday se'nnight a person was drowned whileas-
slating another, who had fallen through the ice while
skaitihg on Derwent Lake.
Friday se'nnight, as Thomas Walker, of Hall-
genii, near Ambleside, was drawing the charge of a
gun, it exploded, and killed him instantly.
A few days since, a young girl of about nine years
of age, named Ferrett, died at the Halfway houses
near Portsmouth : her death was occasioned by her
clothes taking fire a few weeks ago, since which time
she had lingered in the greatest agony.
Friday be'imighti a boy about 13 years of age, of
the name of John Bruce, who, notwithstanding. re-
peated cautions to the contrary, persisted in running
on the iron-rail-way, between Hunslet and Leeds,
was so dreadfully bruised by the steam-impelled ma-
chine passing over him, that it was found necessary
on his removal to the Infirmary to amputate one of
his arms, and one of his legs, and after languishing
till the Monday, he expired.
Wednesday night, about nine o'clock, while three
bricklayers, Thomas Lawrie, David BoJthman, and
Charles Wilson, were engaged in stealing lead from
the corn mills, at the Crown Point, Leeds, Lawrie,
who was in a state of intoxication, fell from the root ,
of the engine house and was killed. His companions '
are now in custody for the robbery.

GUILDHALL.—H. Sayer:, late a clerk in the Bank,
was yesterday charged with forgery. The prisoner
went to the office of Mr. Scarlett with a brief, and,
offering to pay the clerk £3.35. requested change for
a check upon the house of Sir W. Curtis, to the
amount of £7 odd, purporting to be drawn by Kay
and Freshfield, solicitors. The clerk paid liirp the
•difference, and he went away ; having, however, left
more money' than he ought to have done, suspicion
arose, and the clerk went to Mr. Abbott, and found
that his clerk had taken a check in the same manner,
a few minutes before. Several others were in the
same manner imposed on by'the prisoner, who had
drawn the briefs himself; and on the checks being
carried to the Bankers, they were discovered to be for-
geries.—He was remanded for further examination.
UNION iiALL.—F. Cherford, charged with uttering
forged notes, was fully committed for trial at the
Sur, ey Assizes.
A Baker, in the Borough, was summoned for ex-
posing to sale six half-peck, 13 quarterns, and eight
half-quartern loaves, deficient in weight 70 ounces.—
This being the third conviction, the Magistrate im-
posed the full penalty of .51. per ounce, amounting
with costs to £lB.

was returning from Athy to his house about two miles
from that town, at five o'clock in the evening of Sa-

deed, it-was judged necessary to adjourn the Inquest •
