Mr. HART sheered cause.---He commenced thy
reading. the affidavit of Mrs. Mart-Anne Clarke,
sihichaet Oath, that, on the Stsd of June last, Mr.
Currie bad arrested her for a debt of 4240, at the
suit of the Plaintiff, Mr. Abbott, a haberdasher. in
Oxford-street, - with whom she had dealt for some
years. That she Was by Mr. Carrie taken to, the
hdAriess of Mr. Sidney, an Officer of the Sheriff of
Middlesex, in Chancery-lane. That there Mr. Currie
offered to permit her to go at large, provided-she
placed in his hands a sum sufficient to cover the
debt, which, by a written memorandum, he agreed
to give op to Mrs. Clarke, the moment a regular
ba3.l.sond was executed. In consequence, she placed
in Mr. Curries hands two Bank of England Notes,
for £5O each, and a promissory note for £2OO. The'
bail-bond having been executed (her securities being
Mr. Charles Harrison, her Attorney, and a Gentle-
man of the name of Houghton), application was
made to Mr. Sidney, who held the memorandum
agreed to by Mr. Currie, to give it up, which he did,
on the receipt of six guineas from Mr. Harrison, as
• the sum due to him from the transaction. Mrs.
Clarke then wrote an older on the back of tbe me-
morandum, desiring Mr. Currie to deliver the Bank
Notes for £lOO, and-the promissory note for £2OO,
to Mr. Harrison, as her agent. This) however, Mr.
Currie had refused to do, on the ground, that when
be was attending his business at Clifford's Inn, in
the City of London, on the 9th of July, an attach-
ment had been served on him, at the suit of Rice
Ives, a wineonerchant, for the purpose of attaching
the sum of £5B, due by Mrs. Clarke to hilt', it being
known that lie (Currie) bed money in his hands be-
longing to her ; and that, on the 16th of the same
month, a second attachment, for securing the sum cf
£267, was served on him, at the suit of Messrs.
Daniel and Francis Wright, upholsterers, of Oxtord-
street, alledged to be due to them by the said Mary.
Anne Clarke. The case of Abbott and Clarke having.
been removed by Habeas Corium to the Court of,
King's Bench, the Defendant was permitted to pot
inatommon bad; and she now deposed, in her affi-
davit, that this tact being known to Mr. Currie, he
had acted in collusion -with Mr. Ives and Messrs.,
Wright; that in consequence of such collusion, they
attachments issued, which formed the pretext for de.
taining her property. In confirmation of this state.'
sneot, she introduced a story which she had !ward,
and which she verily believed to be true, namely,.
• that Ives had called on Mr. Currie, where he was
=soaking his pipe in the neighbourhood of the New..
Road, in which he resided, and stated, that his ham*:
was “ Rice Ives ;" ..n which Mr. Currie observed,
Then you area triend of Mr. Abbott, and want to
be paid from the property which I have in my pos.'
session belonging to Mrs. Clarke." That after this,
they retired together, and ~he plan wail laid by which.
her property might be kept from her. Mr Han
then read Mr. C. Harrison's affidavit, in support of
the former. it. related principally to the application
glade to Currie for the property, and expressed the
deponent's firm belief, that Messrs. Ives, Wright,'
and Optic, had acted in collusion ; and that at the
time the attachment was served on Currie, be bad
slot the property about him. In answer to these aifi.
davits, Mr. Hart begged the attention of the Court
to those of Mr. Currie, Mr. Goold, his assistant,
and of Messrs. Ives and Wright. The first was the
most material, and set forth, that the deponent had,
On the 23d of June, arrested Mrs. Mary-Anne Clarke,
tinder the process of that Honourable Court; that
he was proceeding . with her, in a hackney-coach,
to the house of Mr. Wake. an Officer of the Court,
when she requested him to take her to Mr Sidney,
in Chancery.lane, with whom she was acquainted.—
He did so; and Mr. Sidney blamed him for carrying
her there, as the process under which she had been'i
arrested having issued from a jurisdiction different I
from that to which he belonged, he could not give a
receipt for her person. Deponent observed, that he was
sure Mr. Abbott, the Plaintiff, would willingly come
to any faifcornpromise with the Defendant; but she
said, she would not enter into any compromise with I
him.—Mr. Sidney then asked her, whether she had a
sufficient sum of money to cover the debt sworn to, and
£lO more, under the act of Parliament, by which
she might be suffered to go at large, and the security
might be returned, when she had procured bail ?--a
To this she answered, thai: she had only got £lOO
in Bank of England notes, and a promissory note of
Mr. Luke Naylor .for £2OO. This Deponent con..
rented to receive as security, and he signed a memo.:
random, as he supposed at the time, to give up the
property, when bail was justified. On the 9th ofj
July, an attachment was served on him in Clifford'a',
Inn, at the suit of Mr. Rice Ives, to secure the sum
of £5B, alledged to be due to him by Mrs. Clarke.
That when Mr. Harrison applied to him to give up
the promissory note, &c. he stated this fact as motive
for his refusal—at the same time observing, that he
would go to Mr. Yoxley, the Attorney of Mr. Ives,
and if that gentleman informed him that he might
restore the property to Mrs. Clarke's Attorney, with-
out risk, he was ready to do so. That he did ac.
• cordingly apply to Mr. Yoxley, stating what Mr.
- Harrison had said to him, namely, that under the
circumstances, the debt having been contracted in
the county of Middlesex, the money was not attach-
able in the City, and requested his advice as to the
way in which he should proceed ; when Mr. Yoxley
• informed hint, that if be gave up the property, it
' would be-at his peril. Mr. Ives having afterwards
• threatenedio proceed against him, unless he paid the
• .sum of £4B, constituting his debt, into the hands of
Mr. Yoxley, his Attorney, be had been induced so
to do. The balance remaining in his hands of the
bank notes was now. 441 ; the promissory note he
also retained—and this he did, because oa the 16th
of July,•-temeo'nd attachment, for £267 was served
on him, at the suit .of Messrs. Wright. Deponent
declared, that, at the time the attachment was served
on him is Clifford's Iwo he had the two hank Motes

'The affidavit denied, in :unqualified terms, the
charge of Deponent's having acted e ollusitely, or of
having reetived, or expectiug to reetiee, any profit
•or emolument from the transaction—aud concluded
by referring to the unimpi_ached character, which,
'for nine years, he had borne as an officer of the
Court. • ... , .
The affidavits of Mr.. Ives, and of Messrs. Wright,
disproved, in the strongest" ;terms. the existence of
anY.colitision between them and Mr. Currie.
Ha'aing gone through the ;I thJavits,. Mr: HART
proceeded to observe, that if, on' the one hand,. be
extremely regretted that a charge of so serious a na..l
tare should be urged against any officer of that Court,
he, on the other, kit a great deal of pleasure on find-1
ing every point"contained in that charge refuted bri
the party accused. He-contended that this case did
not a ail come under Lord Ellenborough's Act, as
his Learned Friend seemed to suppose. By that act,
a person who did not find. it convenient.to give bail
immediately, wa► permitted to deposit a sum equal'
to the debt sworn to, and £lO over, which the Le-
gislature, in its wisdom, esteemed sufficient to cover
the costs, in consideration of which the party was per-
Mitted to go at large. It was, bowei;er, provided,
that the sum should be paid into Court, whence "it
might afterwardi be drawn, on bail being found,'
as motion being made for that purpose.. ' Butliere
the property was depositell in the hands of Mr.',
Currie, and was, to all intents and purposes, attach.
able. He looked upon Mr. Currie's conduct as
blameable, in signing a paper, the exact contents
of which he did not know ; hut it did appear, that
he had subscribed it, supposing it to be an agree-
ment to give up the property when bail was fter.
feaed, and not merely when a ball-bond was matted.—
He would not trouble the Court with an examination
of the law Lid down by Mr. Yoxley—ehether it was
or was not correct, it dui 11,1 alter the features of the
case, as far as the intentions ta Mr.Currir were called
in question. It did appear that he made every exer-
tion to procure proper information as to the coarse he
should pursue—and that lie acted in the way he had
done, from a conviction that he was proceeding justly
and legally—and that, it he bad acted in a different
manner, he would himself have become accountable
to Messrs. Ives and Wright. With respect to the al-
legation, that he was collusively engaged with these
gentlemen, it seethed to be most unfounded. Not a
shilling of profit er emolument had been received by
him, in consequence of the transaction. The fact
was, that the case having been moved into the King's
Bench, and Mrs. Clarke being a lady of very great
celebrity, the circumstances of the deposit came to
the ears of Messrs Tees and Wright,. who played,
what might be termed, the ;harp game, and bad re.
course to the speediest means of recovering their debts.
Under these circumstances, he trusted the rule would
be discharged, with costs.
Mr. AGA li submitted that she rule ought to be made
absolute, as nothing, either in tact or in law, had
been adduced, to overturn the statements contained
in the affidavits, on which it had been obtained. The
Learned Gentleman then argued-Ist, That the re-
fusal to give up the property Was contrary to the ex-
press stipulation of the memorandum signed by Mr.
Currie-24, That, as it was deposited whit him fur
a specific legal purpoie, it mast be viewed as being
in the hands of the law, and, therefore, 11 ,it attacha-
ble on any account-3d, That as the whole of the
transactions relating to the debts 'for which it was at-
tached, had originated in the county of Middlesex,
(where Mr. Currie was also resident) an attachment
Could not issue against the property in the city of
London—and 4th, That :aloe ing the attachment to
be legal as Mr. Currie bad the property in his hands,
after the Court of King's Bench had liberated Mrs.
Clarke, on common bail ; yet, as his so retaining that
property was occasioned by his own criminal negli-
gence, in not giving it up, immediately after com-
mon bail was admitted, he ought to suffer for his
misconduct.
The Learned CHAIRMAN was of opinion, that it
was the duty of Mr. Currie to have given up the pro-
perty, the moment a Court of competent jurisdiction
had liberated the Defendant on common bail. The
fact, however, was, that he had not done this. The
Court, therefore, in its decision, must be guided by
1 the custom which regulated the issuing of attach-
ments. When an individual had procured judgment
against another, and learned that the debtor had pro-
perty in any particular place; he was at liberty to
attach it. This was done for the-purpose of securing
the person of the debtor, and could not operate to
hisinjury ; because, on giving bail for his appearance
the property was again released. In this case, there-
fore, where Mr. Currie had evidently acted from a
feeling, that if he gave up the property be would be
, liable to the debts, the Court could not call on him
to pay over the 4300; £5B of that sum, it appeared,
had already been handed to Mr. Yoxley, the attorney
1 of Mr. Ives, and the remainder was detained in con-
i sequence of a second attachment. The Court were
the less willing to interfere in the manner requested,
I because, it the defendant gave security for the debts,
i the property-would be restored, and no injury would
' be inflicted on her—but, on the other hand, it the
f-rule were made absolute, a great deal of injury might
be done to the other parties. As the Court was,
however, of opinion, that the property should have
been given up, when common bail was- admitted,
although they would discharge the rule, it should not
be with cw.s. .
Mr. AGAR asked the Learned Chairman's opinion
as to the circumstance of the propertrbeing in the
hands of the law, and therefore not attachable ?
Mr. RIITNOLDs said, if an notion were brought to
try the validity, of the attachment, therfact referred to
by Mr. Agar would be of importance; but. in the pre-
sent instance, the Court could nut entertain it.--Rule
discharged.

rather an extraordinary nutty was made at this
Office. A man who stated himself Ps be sixty leafs
of age, a cabinet-tnaker by erode, attended, offering
to 'untold* himself into the hands of justice, con-
ceieiog himself to deserve punishment it much as the
late atrocious murderers. On hii biitif called upon
to explain the nature of his offence, hi stared that,
about forty years Since, when he was an-apprentice, *
girl proved pregnant by him, and to preventilse 4if-1
ficulties it would bring him into, and the shame ;and
probable ruin upon the girl, he admitilstered to her
smite stuff to cause an abortion, which had the de-
sired effect ; the girl survived, bot be did' not marry
her. On his. being asked what bad become ot her f•
be replied she was dead. He said he had married
another girl, and they had seven children ; his wile
and they were all dead. Ori account of the great
number of years when he stated the circumstance to
have taken place, and all the parties who could prove
any of the circumstances being dead, no notice could
be taken of his confession ; and he was advised, as
the best atonement he could make for the crime he I
said he had committed, to live a sincere life of repels:
tance for the remainder of his days, which he pros
mised to dn. He had no appearance of insanity. ~
UNiON HALL.—John Smith was yesterday broogle
up by Friend, the night constable of St. °laves,
charged, by a respeitable cheesemonger in the bo-
rough, in whose eM'erloy he lived as shopman, with
having robbed him of various sums of money taken in
the silop. The prosecutor stated, that he had for
some time past missed money, which he could not
account for ; at lengthhis suspicions attached to the
prisoner. He could not, however, detect him ;—be
'consulted Friend on the subject ; and iropursuance
of a plan agreed on between them, Friend went to
the shop early yesterday morning, and purchased
1 goods to the amount co thirty shillings, paying the
1 prisoner for them with si:ver, which he had previously
marked. Soon afterwards the prosecutor, as had
been agreed on between them, examined the till and
missed mane of the marked money. Friend was sent
for, and on searching the prisoner it was found in
his possession. He acknowledged having taken it,
but said it was his first offence. He was fully- cons-
.
mined for trial.
GUILDRALL.•-•Mr. SW, the landlord of the Nay's
Head public house, Aldersgate-street, was brought
up, charged with assaulting James Gray, a broker,'
who went to the house ot afir,,Stott, to make a seizure'
for taxes, allOged to be due for ri :louse formerly sna
cupisd by Mr. Stott. Upc,n investigation of the case.
however, it turned out that Gray had no authority to
seize, and that he bad very much misconducted hails
self.; under these circumstances, Alderman Cox dis-
missed the complaint.
HATTON GASMIN..--A private of the Ist regiment
I of Foot Guards, named Mama, Cawthorn, was on
Thursday brought before Mr. Leacii, the Sitting Ma-
gistrate, in custody ot Reid the officer, under the
tollowing charge :—Mr. Essam, of Shoe-larse, a free-
man of the City of London, and a Member of the
; Corps of Loyal Engineers, was sitting in his working
dress at a public house in the same lane, and rather
inebriated, when the prisoner and another entered
the house, and after conversing with Mr. Essam on
military affairs for some time, handed to him a slid-
ling, which the prosecutor jestingly asked him for.—
'
The prisoner claimed the prosecutor as enlisted with
him, which was resisted ; and an altercation ensued,
which roused the prosecutor from his intoxication,
and he effected his escape into the first floor of his
own dwelling house, to which the prisoner followed
him, forcing his way up stairs, where the prosecutor'
1 sheaved his uniform, and a copy of his freedom • of tbo
I City, upon which th,prieoner seized i him by the
collar and struck him several violent blows on the
head. Pending the fight, a lodger in the upper part
of the prosecutor's house, hearing the noise ran down
1 stairs, and received several blows from the prisoner,
buy with much difficulty forced him out of the house.
The prisoner was committed for want of bail.
Yesterday two men, of the names of Shaw and
Man/old, with several others, were brought up, and
underwent examination, charged with unlawfully
assembling at a house in King-street, St. Luke's, for
. the purpose of bear baiting. The officers who ap.
prehended them stated, that, by information, they
went to the above premises, where the prisoners and
a great many others were assembled, with a number
of dogs, ready to begin the sport. They took the
two former into custody, being the owners of the
bear, and their dogs. The charge being made out
' against Shaw and Marisfi4d, they x .e.s. committed
as rogues and vagabonds; the ethers admitted to bail.
CLIFFORD'S MURDER.--In a private examination
which took place before Mr. TCRTON, on Thursday,
additional evidence was adduced to establish the
guilt of Leary, but not a single circumstance came
out which went to implicate the unfortunate Mrs.
Clifford, whose conduct seems to have been called
in question solely by her own imprudence, in'
telling a lie for the purpose of disguising her impro.!
per connexion with Clifford. When the wretched
woman was visited by several respectable females
for the purpose of affording her relief as the wife of '
her murdered protector, it was not surprising that '
, site bad not fortitude sufficient boldly to confess that
she was an abandoned woman, who had deserted her
husband, and fled to the arms of one who was dispo-
sed to treat her with more kindness. Neither was it
extraordinary that she should have endeavoured to
conceal the fact of her possessing a small horde, des-
tined for a 4, rainy day," when her ignorance might •
have induced her 'to think that such a confession
would perhaps be the means of preventing her (mom
receiving that sort of pecuniary assistance, which she
foresaw her necessities would require. It is a fact
well known, too, that among almost all orders of
married Irishwomen,. they save what they call a
' :tea purse, unknown to their husbands, the possession
of which they would esteem It a disgrace to confess.
These two facts seem to be the only just grounds for
imputing to. Mrs. Clifford any participation in the '
crime of Leary, save that monster's own accusation, f
which few would be disposed to credit. A priest has
not yet been suffered to visit this man, but when
such a communication shall take place, there is little'
doubt that the real state of the case will be divulged.
A final 'examination, in private, will take place on
Yhursday float, of all parties, till which time it would
be premature to come itiany-Conclusion,'vrith respect
to the guilt of Mrs. Clifford.
