THE PIRATES SONG► --

Unmoor our ►ark upon the wave—
The wave, our vessel's home;
And we win steer ber stiff and brave,
Far in the salt sea foam!
Unmoor our bark upon the wave—
Come, steady hearts and bold!
All eager the dull land to leave,
Her lofty prow behold :
Her lofty prow that shall deft
The tempest and the shore,
And bear us far as winds can Ay,
hind in the Atlantic's roar—
To ball the yellow Chinese man,
Or Afries sable race,
Thz Moor, or tawny Indian,
Or 'We the merchant duce !
We are a band of iron lords
No fear can ever tame;
We'll bend our deeds to bock the Poles,
In thunder and In name!
We'll crest the white waves gallantly,
That rage and hiss below :
Comrades, huzsa we're free—we're free•-•
We own no master now !
Unmoor and sail, the breeze is full,
The skies are clear and bright,
We're free—we're free as you sea-gun,
That scuds through floods of light !

Her anchor's up, her head is round,
There's a ripple at her bow,
Her sails 811 fast, no mooring ground
Restrains her courage now !
Huzsa! she sweeps her pliant way,
Cheer, comrades, at my call!
The wide world is our enemy,
But we will dare it all !

LAW REPORT.

COURT OF CHANCERY. MAY 29.

THOMPSON V. STIHS.

Mr. Pepin moved for a special injunction to this case'
on the following facts :—The plaintiff borrowed 5,0001.
of the defendant, and deposited with him debentures to
the amount of 80,0001. as a security for the payment.
These debentures were issued by the Republic of Co-
lombia. He subsequently offered to pay the sum to'
the plaintiff, and demanded the debentures. This was,
not acceded to; he apprehended that the defendant'
would dispose of the debentures to other persons; he,
therefore prayed for an injunction to restrain the defen-
dant from parting with these documents.
The LORD CHANCELLOR had no objection to grant
the motion generally on the merits, but would hear no-
thing of the Republic of Colombia. His Lordship was
aware that it had been decided otherwise in another
place; but sitting there, in one of his Majesty's Courts
of Justite, he could not recognize the existence of any
Republic or other foreign domination, which has not
been acknowledged by his Majesty's Government.
Mr. Pzees would have those words omitted. The de-
bentures might be simply designated as those signed by
Joseph Rio De Castello; that Gentleman had executed
them on the part of the State.
The LORD Cirawcattoa.—You may take them in any
form, provided you do not introduce such language as
the Republic of Colombia into them. Injunction granted.
COURT OF KING'S BENCH, MAY 2e.
This being the Anniversary of Charles the Second's
Restoration, Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE appeared in Crown
robes at ten o'clock, and after having justified bail, and
heard motions of course horn behind the bar, left the
Court at a quarter past eleven o'clock. The other
Judges did not come into Court at all, the day being
kept as a holiday.
The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE sat at Nisi Prins in Guild-
hall, but left the Court at half-past ten.
COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, MAY 29.
EVANS V. SWEET.
Mr. Serjeant Cnoss stated that the plaintiff was an
importer of Scotch ale, the defendant is keeper of the
lock-up house in Cursitor-street. It appear ed the plain-
tiff was arrested on a bill of exchange for 251. after
giving bail he was discharged. The bail bond was re-
turnable on the 10t11 of November. Some time pre-
viously the bail got involved in difficulties, and two
other persons, named Young and Rickaby, contrived to
get themselves recorded as bail for the plaintiff, with-
out his consent or knowledge. The first use they made
of this power was to have the plaintiff arrested on Sun-
day, in the bosom of his family, and carried to Sweet's
house, where he was detained ten days. Sweet being
considered a party in this illegal arrest, a motion was
made in the Court of Common Pleas, when the Court
ordered the plaintiff to be discharged, on the ground of
false imprisonment.
Mr. Serjeant Pm passed a high eulogiuns on the
character of Mr. Sweet. The plaintiff had put in a
man tfstratu for hail, and consequently, the bite: iir was
entitled to demand good bail. He denied that any
assault had been committed on the plaintiff. No action
could be maintained against Mr. Sweet, who acted only
in assisting Young to secure the plaintiff.
John Wilson, Sheriff's officer, examined by Mr. Ser-
jeant WYLDT..—He ordered Young and Rickaby to put
in bail for the plaintiff.
Mr. Scrjeant Coosa submitted that a Sheriff's officer
exceeded his duty by ordering his own servant, which
Young was, to become bail.
The Cilia, Arnica said that the simple question at
issue was, whether the bail was put in at the desire of
the Sheriff? If so, he would direct the Jury to 6nd a
verdict for the defendant; but as objections were started
on this point, the case had better be referred, in order
that it may be further discussed.
HIGH COURT OF DELEGATES, MAY 29.

itow and Mr. Justice Buftnoucri.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, MAY 29.

William Henry Barrett, who had been examined on a
previous day, when he was opposed by Mr. Romaine,
and several other creditors, came up for judgment.
The Cum, COMMISSIONER observed, that from the
evidence adduced at the original hearing, it was clearly
apparent that the Insolvent had been guilty of an act
of injustice towards his creditors. It appeared that a
person of the name of Dixon, a bona Jde creditor, ac-
septed of a warrant of attorney as a security for his
