FOR THE STAR.

TO THE RIGHT HON. THE MINISTER FOR THE WAR
DEPARTMENT, AND THE RIGHT HON.
'THE SECRETARY AT WAR.

As the fubjett on which I prefume to addrefs you,
is, I believe, more immediately conneeled. with one
or other, if not both of your departments, it will, I
hope, plead my mule for appealing to you jointly
in behalf of two defcriptions of Rank in the Army,
which the late War Miniffer, in his difiribution of the
increafe of pay, feems not to have confidered equally
in proportion with the reit, relying too much on
their chance of obtaining that rapid promotion which
only attends the few.
To Commanding Officers of Corps, Brevets, Lieu•
tenants of (even years Banding, non commfioned
Officers and Privates, the inereafe was handfome ;
but to the Captains and Enfigns fomething more
confonant to their feelings might have been done (as
the additional expence to fo great a nation could have
been hut trifling) when to ufe Mr. WINDH•M'S own
expreffion he meant to ameliorate the fituation of
Officers, and prevent them through necellity from
, felling out or Cutler confinement for debt. For, after
the ftoppage of a fhilling and a halfpenny per day
for the Income Tax, from a Captain, his increafe of
daily pay is only one halfpenny, and nut of the poor
Enfign's increafe of fevenpence, it is on the fame
account reduced to about twopence three farthings,
making too wide a diltintlion between the Lieutenant
and Enfign in point of pay, where they are equally
(tiba& to the fame expences on all occafions.
From the above Ratement of lath may Ibe ex-
cured in fuggefting to both of you Right Honourable
Gentlemen, to make Come (mall improvement on Mr.
WINDHA.I4'd plan, by taking thole two clalres of rank
into your confideration, and lay their cafe before his
May STY, that he may be gracioufly pleafcd to make
foam additional allowance to their pay, either accor-
ding to feven years fervitude in their refpetlive ranks,
or any other period, as it would be a cheering cir-
cumitance to have fomething to look forward to,
fhould promotion prove tedious ; for at prefect a
Captain, after twenty or thirty years fervice, enjoys
only an additional halfpenny a day, and a Private, at
the end of every (even years, (hall get a penny. It is
true, promotion will give an increafe of pay to both
Captain and Enfign, but the periodfmay be very, very
diftant before that is attained ; and I am told that in
Veteran Battalions (the retreat for worn out Officers),
they are totally excluded from all chance of increafe
of pay, through promotion, though I hear they are
now a much more efficient force than when on the
old invalid fyftem.
I have the honour to fubfctibe myfelf a friend to
the Army and a well winter to your Adminiaration,
through whole Councils and the aid of our brave
Fleet and Army, we fhall be able to fubvert the
machinations of the prefect Ruler of France,

A. account has appeared of the population of
twenty-three cities in France, each containing up-
wards of thirty thoufand fouls. But in the popula-
tion of particular places.% they do not rife fo near
the number of Come cities in this kingdom. Paris
contains only 547.750 people ; a number far thou of
London. Marseilles, the next, contains 96,440, an
amount greatly below Dublin : and Bnurdeaux, the
third, has 90,992, which is let► than in Edinburgh.
Lyoils is now only fourth. Certainly Ito country in
Europe can boaft fo great a number of cities, of fueh
a population, as France : but of thefe twenty-three,
no lets than fix (found of the molt confiderable) have
been acquired by her, by conqueft, face the Revolu-
tion, viz. Turin, Genoa, &tads, Antwerp, Liege,
and Mentz.

The Herring Filling on Lochcarron and Loch.
duich has been uncommonly fuecefsful of late; (even
barrels to a boat, on an average, have been caught.
It is with much pleafure we have obferved, that
the reports of our agricultural coricfpondents from
all parts of the kingdom have concurred in giving the
moll unequivocal and decided proofs of the efficacy
of the patent prepared gypfum on the turnips. From
the accounts we have received, it is evident many
thouland acres of this valuable root have been pre-
ferved from deftrudion by the fly, and the crop,
wherever this excellent manure was applied, is much
more than commonly luxuriant and abundant. The
liatements which have been made to us of its univer
fal good properties in other countries, warrant us in
believing it would be equally beneficial on the young
wheats, if ufed before the letting in of fevere irons.
Oa the Spring grafts and feeds, there remains no
doubt with thole who have tried it, of its luperior
utility, and another year will certainly as generally
and fully eftablith the fame of this truly valuable and
cheap compofition in this country, as has already been
done on chip continents of. Europe and America.

COURT Or COANCERY, NOVEMERA 4.
at PARTS iItiOWIMITH, IN THIS MATTIS, Of SUR-

RIDOI.

This was the re hearing of an order ;trued by Lord
Chancello. ERlEtllts directing the Petit:oner to pay
the cods incident.terthisfuperfeded commillion, and
Ito the' the cons of a profecution for a confpiracy.
Mell*.s. If Klemm' and HAILT faid. that Mr. Arrow-
fmith, the attorney to that commiffion, bad been ren-
dered liable to thefe colts, tinder the order, fri,m a
notion winch was entertained by the late Chancellor, '
that he had been guilty Of grofb and criminal negli• 1
pence. Among the charges on which the accolations
were grounded was one, that he did not execute his
duty as Sr,licitnr to the Commiffion, by making
proper inquiries into the petitioning creditor's debt.
l'he Learned Counfel had never undertiond that it
was the duty of the Solicitor. to afcertain fuck debt
by legal evidence, with all that medium and aecu
racy which was required of the Conitniffioners or of
the Courts, before which a quellion of this nature
would be decided. It was true that there was a con-
fpi!acv to defraud one of the credits,rs under this
commif lion ; but the prefent petitioner had no know-
ledge of fuck criminal conduit, much lets was he to
be yulifhed as if he were a party to that confpiracy.
The examination of Wattb before the Magiltrate *as
the foundation of the profecution, and of the fubfe-
quent indi&ment and con vittion.
Sir Samos:. ROUILLY refined the prayer of this
pe:i'inn, as Counfel for Mr. Jett. He obferved that
his client was a lona file credit, r of the bankrupt,
arid in that character had obtained judgment and
taken out execrition. After this pet eceding, there
Vas a contrivance between Burbidge and Walfh to
get rid of the encode°. He had fociefifully eller-
'tied his rights, after having been moll grofbly in-
jurest ; and if his Lordlhip were to reverie the order,
hi. client would have done more wilily to have fub•
mined to the Injury, and all honett creditors, in fu-
ture, would do well not to expok thernfelves to ruin,
by endeavouring to oppofe fraudulent bankruptcies.
'lt was not 'Hedged that At rowfinith was a party to
the conspiracy,- tit it was fufficient to preive that he
bad *eked with grills negligence and that, in conic.
queneerfnos having properly difcharged his duty as
an officer of-the Court, he had become the inftru-
ment of fraud upon an hokeft ei ediror. In fuch cafes,
in a legal and equitable fenfe, negligence was a crime.
What were the uncontroverted faets? A commiffion
was taken out fraudulently by a man of a charafter fo
•notorioufly bad, that he had been rendered infamous
by being ezpited in the pillory, in the county where
Arrowfmith praetifed. It turned oat that, in truth,
there was no petitioning creditor's debt ; and the only
arft of bankruptcy committed alas created at the time
the cornmiffion was applied for, by a contrivance in
Wallies houfe. Theo Arrowftnith faid that the fecu

duce exclufively to the payment of his own debt.
ft occurred to others that this objeft might be defeat.
ed by a commit:64n, the commiffion over reaching the
area of the execution. It is without all' doubt that
filch a puipofe might be legally. and honeßly enter-
tained and lined upon, other creditors having a right
to avail.themfelves of the remedy, by defeating the
execution for a legal and legitimate purpose. But if
this were founded only on Utica and fraud, it was
impoliihle to fay that a Solicitor, who was a Mini•
tier of the Court, did not forget his duty, if he lent
himfelf to fulfil filch a fraudulent intention. Yet
there was a difference between lending ltimfelf and
mere negligence. This execution appeared-to have
been levied upon Monday, the sth of November,
!Sox, when Mr. Arrowfmith had left his residence
to go to Leiteßer, from whence he returned on the
17th. When he was come back, Ise was applied to
by Walfh, who was known to him only under the ,
name of Williamfon. It then appeared that be lent
hint fonr guineas vend this might be material to coo-
bleWall'h to take out the commiffion. Then as to the'
as Gf Bankruptcy, it appeared that But bidge was
denied to (corral creditortat the haute of Walfh, to
conflitnte that a&. Did it never eater to the Peti-
tioner, that Wallh's houfe was a very extraordinary
place for Burbidge to refide in under fuch circum-
fiances ? Whether he had abfconded, and was alfo
denied in the manner Rated, was entirely unexplained.
The depofitions of Watts, the petitioning creditor,
his Lordfhip prefumed, were in general prepared by
the Solicitor under the commiffion, or they ought at
haft to devolve under his immediate obfervatiun.—
Thence afore another furpicious circumflance : it
was known that one hundred pounds was the exatl
rum by which a commiffion was to be supported, if
there were only one petitioning creditor. The worth
of the depolition were, " one hundred pounds and
' 1 upwards." Here they had (truck out the words
" and upwards," and that depontion contained no in-
timation of the exiftence of a promiffory note. When
the bankrupt was examined, he Paid that he was in-
debted to the petitioningereditor for moneylenr,iu the
turn of to2l. cos. being for the principal tam and in-
tereft up to that time. Then came the affidavit, va-
rying the cireumftances, Rating that he was indebted
coal. tot. ; and to account for the xl. cos. there was
introduced the explanation, that he had a fecurity or
faisfaltion, which was found to be dated in April, fo
as to make zl. lot. interest upon the very day when
the all. of bankruptcy was committed. There was
fontewhat of manufaduse in all this. It was a diffi
cult talk, in tome cafes, to execute the duty the
Court required. Although it would reprefs fraudu-
lent eommiffions, yet the Court mutt not impose upon
the Solicitor fo far as to make it dangerous for him
to take out a commiffion at all. But the tuteßion
was here, as in all circumaances of the kind, 44 Can
you reprefent this as a cafe of mere furprize ?" It
did ationifh his Lordfhip, that Solicitors of great
name and high charafter would engage themselves.
in duties fo difficult to execute, as the three charac-
ters involved, of Solicitors to the creditors, to the
affignees, and to the bankrupt himfelf. Suck a three
fold relation was not eafily accommodated to the
interelt of each and all the parties which they ought
attentively to promote.
Another citcundlaoce deferred particular obretva-
tion. If a party engage to pay for the certificate of
the bankrupt, and fuch certificate was ebtained in the'
Runt interval of fix weeks, no man could fay, but I
that there mull be ccnfiderable doubt of the fairnefs
of the proceeding. His Lordilip approved of this,
order as far as it refpeded the payment of cogs inci-
dent to the proceedings on bankruptcy. Taking it
as negligence, it was negligence fo mifchievous that
the pet fon guilty o(, it ought to be refponfible. As'
to the other part; he had a difficulty in acceding to
she order. The creditor ituOtlee4 theparties, nut for
taking out the coeMniesoit 'of bankrupt,but for
wiikedly coniphing to defraud. hint of the remedy
the law gave hilt, by aping as againft him a pro-
ceedingihe lasi never intended `should be fo emcdoyed.

account alone, to be rehiertidtrons the office of al4-
nee. There was, Wirt*, another ciramsflante
' which was of itfelf (Acacia ground forientoving both
the *Specs. Mr. Bonded., the ether affignee,
having money belonging to the' bialsrepteitate im-
properly retraining in his hands, had an order swede
' on him, more than a year ago, to pay over this fana,
being upwards of .tool. into the beaker's Pretrial' to
the-bankrupt Mate. This order he had to, the prefect
moment failed to comply with. His co-affignee had
(offered him to remain in poffetEon of this fum, tah-
ingests he himfelf Rated, the bell fecurityfor it which
Bundock could give. This the Learned Cownfel
fubmitted, however, was no vindication, even of the
conduit of Walker, and the fati was of itfelf a full
cient reafon for the removal of both ; which, they
trolled, his Lordthip would order, and would alfo
fend the cafe to the Commiffioners, or to the Mailers
to make inquiries into the other points alluded to.
Mr. HART, for the allgnees, contended that it by
no means followed as a rule without any exception
whatever, that the property of bankrupts mull imme-
diately, and whether at a favourable or unfavourable
moment, be converted into money. In the ',recent
cafe, however, there was no ground for imputing to
the affigneea any delay which might have occurred,
the bankrupt being only part owner of the veffel.,
and there being au unfettled account between him
and the other owner, which they had often preffed
to have adjufted, and until a fettlement of which
the, could not know what right in the vellels they
had to difpofe of. At all events, fuppoGng them to
have aCted indifcreetly, the creditors had afterwards
approved of what they had done, and had agreed to
arbitrations from the awards, in which it appeared,
as had all along been maintained, that the btlan:e
was greatly againtt the bankrupt, and that he had
no inteielt whatever in the vatic. As to the eflate
contracted to be purchafed from Mr. Walker, by the
bankrupt, the fad was, that it had been conveyed by
the bankrupt to a third patty previous to the bank
ruptcy. It was no doubt true, that a balance of che
bankrupt funds, to the amount limed on the other
fide, did remain in the hands of Mr. Bundock. He
was perfally willing to ob:y the order, by paying
in the money, but nut having it in his power to doll),
there was a phyfical impffibility in his complying
with that order. Mr. Walker, the other affignee,
had taken from Mr. B. the bell fecurityfor repayment
of this fum which it was in Mr. B.'s power to give.
Mr. Walker, therefore, could not be to blame ; and,
if the aknees had not been repeatedly prevented by
this very petitioner, Mr. Hart, from making a di.
vidend, there would now have been no balance in
Mr. Bundock's hands.

Sir SAMUEL Rostscr.v in reply, conceived that
very phyfical impoffibility alluded to on the other
fide as in Wilt* a fufficient ground for the removal
of the affignees. It-had been Itated,howe►er,that Mr.
Walker had paid all the fume in his hands into the
bankers. The Learned Counfel held iu his hand a
eatement of the banker's accounts, by which it ap-
peared, that at the end of the laQ year, every farthing
sanding in the name of the bankrupt clime had been
drawn out.

Mr. HART faid, that on inquiry, he underilood
that a fuit had for Come time been pending in the Ex-
chequer againit the bankrupt, brought by the very
petitioner, in which he having •fucceeded, the fum
alluded to had been drawn nut to pay the colts. It
was, therefore, money applied to the purpoks of the
bankrupt elate. , • - • ,
. The Leeo,Ctrancest,oa faid, there ..vere here two
queltions for coalideration. One of them was of fuch

out any flur attaching to them. The other, he found
bleofelf called on to Air in the fiat place. it ap-
peareA that in ttl6, one of the affignees had-been
ordered to pay into the bankere to the clinic 4001.
and upwards, which he improperly held in his hands.
Thia.ovder he had not, at this entornest, complied
'with.; and his .Counfel listed, that not having the
