LENEKE V. VAUGHAN.

The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE read the notes of the trial.
The plaintiff was a native of Heligoland, and intending
to come and reside in England, commissioned a London
mei chant to obtain a license from this Government.—
There being some irregular ity in this transaction, it led
to the present question. The Court held, that under all
the cii cumstances, a liberal construction should be put on
the case, and confirmed the verdict in plaintiff's favour.
London, England, 1824-02-13

TREAD•MILL.

Sir F. BURDETT said he held in his hand a Petition from Mr.
Stapylton, a Magistrate of the West Riding of Yorkshire, com-
plaining that in Northallerton, persons, before conviction, were con-
demned to the public and degrading employment of working at the
tread-mill. He (Sir F. Burdett) doubted whether it was compe-
tent to the Magistrates thus to punish a person before conviction,
for a punishment it certainly was in every respect. It was of im-
portance to ascertain whether the law conferred such power. If the
law admitted of such an interpretation, the sooner it was amended
the better, that a stop might be put to so oppressive a measure.
Mr. Secretary PEEL said there was no doubt that the Ma-
gistrates possessed the power. The expediency of exercising it was
another question ; and he had no hesitation in saying that he consi-
dered it impolitic. The chief use of putting persons to work pub-
licly at the tread-mill was to operate as an example, by attaching a
stigma on those who were so treated. It was clear that it must
cease to produce the effect if inflicted indiscriminately. He thought,
therefore, it would be expedient to provide that persons, before
conviction, should not be put to a species of labour which ought to
operate as a degradation. An opportunity would soon occur of
making such an alteration in the law as would prevent the recur-
rence of the practice.
Sir F. BURDETT said he bad no doubt of the illegality of the
practice. It was a proceeding that could not in justice be counte-
nanced. The Judges did not determine the legality of it in the
Court of King's Bench. They decided merely, that when prisoners
were unwilling to work, the Magistrates might confine them strictly
to the prison allowance. This was getting rid of the question by an
indirect way. He contended that before conviction, humanity and
justice required that every fair indulgence should be extended to
prisoners. He wondered that Magistrates could persevere in such
conduct, after so much had been said on the subject last Session.
Mr. Secretary PEEL said it had been provided by the Bill I
passed last year that prisoners should have sufficient sustenance.
His own decided opinion was, that prisoners, before conviction,
should not be put to work at the tread-mill.
Mr. S. WORTLEY said the King's Bench hid decided that the
practice was legal.--(Sir F. Buxom across the table—No).—He
admitted the inexpediency of it, and be was glad that his Right
Honourable Friend (Mr. Peel) had intimated an intention of set-
ting the matter right.
o Mr. J A MES said a few words in condemnation of the practice,
, and contended that the Court of King's Bench had not decided the
I legality of it.—The Petition was ordered to lie on the table.

°TWAY V. CHAMBERS.

In this case the question turned upon:the construction
of the terms of a will, and related to certain lands de-
scribed as appertaining to other property in the Isle of
Sheppey.—The Court, after quoting various authorities,
confirmed the verdict.

SHERIFFS' COURT, FEBRUARY 12.
WINKFIELD V. DR. CLEVELEY.

The Jury were here called upon to assess a compen-
sation in damages for wanton and negligent conduct,
whereby a house, the property of the plaintiff, had be-
come considerably dilapidated.
Mr. COLLETT opened the case to the Jury, wherein
he stated, that the defendant had for a number of years
occupied a house in Montagu-street, Bloomsbury, which
according to the terms of the lease, was to be put in
good and tenantable repair; upon quitting, the defen-
dant did not comply with the record, but left the house
considerably dilapidated, and in a state that no one could
occupy it. A surveyor would be called, who had sur-
veyed the dilapidations, and would give his estimate;
there was half a year's rent owing, which also would be
claimed at the hands of the Jury, amounting to 751.
Mr. George Wigg, surveyor, deposed he had sur-
veyed the dilapidations ; the window-shutters wanted
repairing, the walls were considerably damaged, and
the house altogether in a ruinous state. The least esti-
mate be could form was £4B. 2s. which would scarcely
put the house in good repair.
The defendant set up a defence that no notice had
been given to repair, nor had he had an opportunity to
contrast the plaintiff's estimate with another surveyor.
The Jury assessed the damages at £123. 2s.
INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, FEBRUARY 12.

Philip Jenkins, whose case was adjourned until this
day, was brought up for judgment.
Tile CHIEF COMMISSIONER said, the facts of the case
were shortly these :—The insolvent had formerly been
discharged under the Act ; directly after which, al-
though possessed of no property whatever, he took a
house at Walthamstow, representing himself to be worth
£3OO per annum, besides being extremely well off in
other respects, and, by such representation, his opposing
creditor was induced to credit him to the amount of;

~~

£53 ; the insolvent then disposed of his house, and, for
two or three years, he was not to be found. The Court
could not overlook a transaction like this, which had
been contracted fraudulently, and without the probable
means of payment. The judgment of the Court, there-
fore was, that he be confined within the walls of the pri-
son for six months from the date of filing his Petition.
The following insolvents, against whom no opposition
was entered, were ordered to be discharged, viz.
William Smith Henson, Gent. Charles Vivian Colwell,
Samuel Parker, George Gotts, Samuel Ellcock, Bartho-
lomew Rosselloty, Samuel Branton, Philip Jenkins, and
Elizabeth King.

BILLINGSGATE MARKET.

Mr. Alderman 131towN presented a Petition from Mr.
Stewart, complaining of his having been removed from
a stand in the Market, to which he had been appointed
by the officers in the usual manner, and nsoved that the
consideration of the Petition should be referred to the
Committee of City Lands, &c. and that, till such time a 5
they had reported thereon, and an order of the Court
made, Mr. Stewart should be replaced in the occupation
of the said stand.

A very long discussion then ensued between Mr. S.
DIXON, Mr. N. SAUNDERS, Mr. SAVAGE, Mr. JAMES,
Mr. R. SMITH, Mr. Deputy OLDHAM, Mr. JONES, and
several other Members; and on the question being put,
the LORD MAYOR declared the Alderman's motion to
hare been agreed to.

COUNTY FIRE OFFICE, REGENT-STREET.

AS the present unexampled rage for New Insurance
Companies occasions the public attention to be engated by
various attractive promises, It may not be improper to remind the
Frieods of the COUNTY FIRE OFFICE what have been its
Performances.
The County Fi-e Office has now been established upwards of
seventeen years, during which time Sixteen Hundred Sufferers
bare been indemnified, and only one claim has been brought into a
Court of Law—namely, that of the Thurtells.
By vigilant and prudent management, the County Office grew
rich during the years which were favourable for lasurance business,
and in this advantage, persons who now insure participate.
Returns to the amount of £454000 have been paid to all Persons
who have continued Insured Seven Years, upon Annual as well as
upon Septennial Policies, and whether they have been Claimants
for Losses or otherwise—an important advantage which no other
Insurance Office existing has afforded.
Since the establishment of the COUNTY FIRE OFFICE, no
less than eighteen New Insurance Offices have broken up, besides
many which have been carried on as losing concerns.
Several of these, which were announced under High Patronage,
and with the most captivating Prmises, have expired in total In-
solvency;and lett the disappointed Claimants in fruitless litigation
with their Trustees and Directors. it is not difficult to anticipate
what must be the fate of the numerous new Offices which are now
proposed ; and now that their funds are not improvable, at half
their former rate of Interest, are outbidding each other in extrava-
gant promises upon reduced means.
These who are aware of the confusion and misery which have
resulted from the numerous failures of Insurance Adventurers, and
the probability that such failures will soon recur more extensively
than ever, will rut hesitate to choose between realized benefits and
untried promises.

DISCOVERY FOR THE CURE OF CANCER !H

IT must be a great consolation to those who are
'glided with Cancer, Glandular Complaints, and indurated
Swellings, to know that the ANTIMONIAL Ott., discovered by the
late Dr. klarryat, a short time previous to his death, and proved. to
be a certain cure for the above complaints, if applied in time, and
a palliation In conhrmed Cancer, is now cattfully prepared from
the original Receipt, by a private Gentleman, and told iu bottles
at 225. each, With full directions for use, by his Apnts, Messrs.
%smuts, Chemists, No. 4, Cheapside, Sr. I'aul:s, and trio, Re-
gent-street, near the .Argyle Rooms, London ; Waterloo-place,
FAinburgh ; and Sackville-street, Dublin ; and by the principal
Medicine Venders throughout the Kingdom.
Timely application of this invaluable remedy, in every case where
there is the slightest appearance or apprehension of Cancer, is must
seriously advised, in eider to arrest at ore; the dangerous progress
cf its baneful effects, and prevent the pai.tful and tun frequent ne-
cessity of the knife.
In cases of 13ronchocele, usually called the Derbyshire Neck, the
Antinionial Oil is held in the highest estimation, as being
efficacious.

FRIDAY, APRIL 16, 1824.
GOOD Pram—This being a strict Holiday, the Stock Exchange,
Lloyd's, and all the Public Officcs, are closed.

Brussels Papers to the 14th of April reached us this
morning ; the intelligence they contain is more than
usually interesting. The accounts from St. Petersburgh
state, that in consequence of intelligence from Bessara-
hia that the Ottoman Poste refuses to evacuate Walla-
chia and 11ohlavia, which had been confirmed by a dis-
patch from NI. MINZIACKY, at Constantinople, the Em-
peror of RUSSIA had .ent a decisive Note to the Turk-
ish Government, an l an intimation to the Court of
Austria of the measures which the Russian Cabinet will
deem it necessary to adopt. We are aware that there
have been several rumoured ultimatums sent from the
Russian Government to that of Turkey, but the Court
of St. Petersburgh, which is anxious for the humiliation
of the Porte, has seen it done to some extent without its
interference, and it is not probable that it will bear much
longer the evasive and temporising policy of the Turk-
ish Government.

The accounts from Constantinople state, that military
and naval preparations are carrying on with as much
activity as the Imperial Exchequer will allow. The
great difficulty is in manning the ships, as the Turkish
navy was formerly almost wholly manned by Greek
sailors. The following are extracts :

GREECE.*

A letter from Zante, dated March 13, announce; the '
capture of the important place of Corm, the last bul-
wark of the Tut ks in the South of the Morea. This town
was carried by storm 'oy the Greeks, under the command
of an Ecclesiastic, the Archimandtite Zzrbino, who had
arrived in December from the Russian town of Tagan-
roch with a large 'sum of money, which enabled him to
equip a body of volunteers. He then sect etly collected
ladders, and profiting by the obscutil of a very dark
night scaled the ramparts and surprised the gars ison.—
He is said to have displayed no less generosity than
heroism. The occupation of the town and castle of
Arta by Constantine Bozzaris is also confirmed, as %sell
as the insurrection of the Pacha of Egypt; and it is
hinted that some Powet, whose name is not given, has
expressed a wish to re-establish the Throne of the
Egyptian Sultans.
Lord Byron and Colonel Stanhope were still at Mis-
solonghi superintending the preparations for the sieße
of Lepanto. A large ship from London had brought
them a great quantity of powder, cannons, mortars,
shells, cannon-balls, and other kinds of ammunition.—
The declaration of war made by England against Al-
giers operated, we are happy to say, as a powerful di-
version in favour of the Greeks, as the Grand Seignor
had scarcely any other sailors left than those belonging
to the States of Barbary, and, being deprived of their
aid, had no means of equipping another fleet for the
next campaign.

BOW-STREET.

Mitirsity FRAIS.--,Tames Clarke, a bombardier, and Joseph
Logan, and John Coictough, gunners in the Royal Artillery, were
brougut before Sir RICHARD BIRSIE yesterday, charged with having
feloniously conspired to obtain certain sums of money front the
Prize-office at Chelsea Hospital. It appeared in evidence that
Clarke procured his fellow-prisoners to present themselves at-the
Prize-office as John Fora-ay and James Worthington, with a view
to obtain the prize-money clue to those persons for their services at
the taking of Guadaloepe and the Isle of France.
The prisoners, Logan and Colclongh, declined saying anything in
their thlcnce ; but Clarke begged to be remanded for further exa-
mination, in order that he might have the benefit of legal advice;
and they were remanded accordingly.

MA itLBOROUGH-STREET.
Mr. Tatham, a respectable Solicitor, residing in Golden-square,
appeared at the office, and stated to Sir GNORGE FAIRRANT, that he
came there with a view of giving publicity to a circumstance that
had occurred in his family on the day before, and which it was
very essential to the public safety should be generally known.
Mr. Tatham said that he had had a party of friends at his house
on Wednesday; and, as usual on such occasions, a quantity of
confectionary was prechred from a very respectable shop of that
description in the neighbourhood, amongst which was a number
of what were tailed " wafer cakes," which are variously coloured
to give them a more ornamental appearance—some green, some
blue, and red, &c. Mr. Tatham erre produced several of these
cakes, and said that his servants, it appeared, had eaten a number of
them on Wednesday night, particularly the man-servant and house-
maid, and in a short time after eating them, they became so ill, that
it was found necessary to send for Mr. Shelton, the surgeon to the
family, who, on hearing what the servants had taken, and examin-
ing these " wafer-cakes," declared that the patients were labouring
under the effects of poison, as these cakes were always mixed with
verdigris, sugar of lead, and other poisonous ingredients, for the
purpose of colouring them, besides their bring baked upon sheets of
copper. They were, therefore, he said, highly dangerous, and should
never be used. Mr. Shelton applied the prceper remedies as in cases
of poison, and succeeded in relieving the servants from their suf-
ferings ; but the man-servant is still very unwell, and not altogether
out of danger.
Sir (i.FAULANT said thet it was highly necessary the Public should
be made acquainted with this case, and cauttaned against the use
of these cakes, which, however pleasing to the eye, were so danger-
ous to the health, although used at every evening party at table,
but chiefly, he believed, for ornament. The Public, he said, were
indebted to Mr. Tathau: for making the fact known. .

ARGYLE ROOMS-SIGNOR PISTRUCCL

Mr. PH lure Pisraucci gave last evening his second
Litcraty I:wolf:inn:cat this season, consisting of extern-
pore composition of poems and dialogues on subjects
proposed by the audience. The language and climate
of Italy seem peculiarly adapted for the success of its
natives in this species of poetry,—who accordingly
abound, with various degrees of merit, some relying
on the bounty of their auditors in the piazzas of the
streets. The perfmmance of yesterday evening claims
a high rank in point of invention and perfect fluency of
delivery. Even When the Poet was confined to the
Rind. obligati, or Bouts rimes, which were supplied to.a
great extent from all parts of the room, and, apparently
with great facility, made to terminate the lines of inte-
resting verses. The subjects selected by the•auJience,
from those which had been proposed, were—The Death
of Lord Byron, which was foimed into an ode—A
Drama, called L. Amato Burial° (Me Lover burlesqued),
in which the situations were well imagined and sustained
throughout, but the humour was not gre fin del
mondo was the subject of a recitation ; the ideas and
language were grand and appropriate—// work di
Cleopatra and 11 ,aorti di Catone were fine subjects,
and, especially the latter, well developed. The audience,
many of whom were Italians, testified their satisfaction
with the efforts of the Poet. To extemporize on any
subject which it may enter into the imagination of any
individual, out of a large number, to propose, requires
a mass of historical and general information; but to do
this at all in a manner appropriate to the situations of
the persons who are thus represented, demands the in-
spiration of genius. Signor Itossist did not preside at
the piano-lore, to the disappointment of many.—
\(•idame PASTA and Signors GARCIA and RPMORIN'
added their vocal exertions to the entertainment.
