_ WARWICKSHIRE HOUNDS.

This excellent pack of fox hounds bad another brilliant run
on Monday, when, according to appointment, they met at
Oakley Wood, where they threw off in fine style, a great
number of Ladies and Gentlemen being spectators of the ani-
mating scene. A fine fox was found in a few minutes, who
with the sagacity so peculiar to his species, after tantalizing
his pursuers with running a few short rings, suddenly took to earth,
and obliged them to proceed further is search of sport. The hounds
then went to Lighthorne Rough, where, about mid-day, the merry
cry was again in action, having found another fox, possessing
more game and less cunning, who took off, in gallant style, in the
direction of Hill Farm. Turning to the left, he skirted Comp-
ton Verney House. and the beautiful woods of that domain ;
bounded to the right in the direction of Brickhill Gorse ; and
after passing the Red House, went at a spanking rate across
Brockhampton Fields to Butler's Marston, where a very short
check ensued. Thence both hounds and hunters proceeded close by
the Kennel to Blacklands and Pillerton Hersey, leaving Oxhill
village to the left. Here Reynard, turning to the right towards
Hellbrake, put-his speed to the utmost, and led his pursuers over
bill and dale, through flood and field, in gallant style, as far as
Lord Northampton's seat at Compton Wynniate, where he took
refuge in the ice house. The dogs closely followed ; and the hunts-
man and others, obtaining a ladder and some lights, entered poor
Reynaid's singular retreat, descended an ice pit about ten feet
deep, and found at the bottom several of the dogs and the remains
of their gallant victim. Tile run (one of the severest during the
season) lasted one hour and forty-tire minutes : out of a field of
200 apotitstuen, only eight weie in at the death.
Tuesday a Fox Hunt took place in the vicinity of Ardrum.
About fifty Gentlemen who were assembled to enjoy the sports of
of the Chaco were, through accident or design, induced to meet
in a paddock enclosed by a five foot and a half wall. On Reynard
being found, they rode off towards the gate by which they had en-
tered, but what was their dismay to find it locked, and no person
in attendance to open it. At this critical moment "forth front the
covert the merry pack flew," and nothing could equal the general
consternation, when one of the Gentlemen cried out, "Those who
wish to enjoy the Hunt let them follow me, and immediately flung
his horse towards the wall, and having cleared it in the finest
style, galloped off after the hounds. The example was too inviting
not to be followed, and the enclosure was speedily without a horse-
man, with the exception of one, a citisen, who ;preferred fair and
easy going to a desperate leap —Cork Conatitutiois.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF CHANCERY, N0v.24.
JUDGMENT.

SIRSDIZASLL V. HULLITT.
The LOSD CHARCSLI.OR disposed of the question that arose
in this case, on the substance, merits, and form of the plei that
had been put into this bill. The question was, whether the plea
was to be considered a sufficient answer to the bill. The treaties
and documents mentioned in the pleading had been so often before
the Court that his Lordship did not think it necessary to enter into
them in detail, for the purpose of showing the grounds on which
the Court proceeded. Treaties in 1814 and 1815 were entered
into between France and Spain, by which France undertook to
raise a fund of 1,800,000 francs or renter, for the purpose of pay.
ing off the claims the Spanish subjects had on the Government of
France. This sum was to be divided into two parts ; the one was
immediately to be (as it was) paid to the Government of Spain, and
the other was to remain in the bands of the Commissioners to be
appointed (as they were) by both Governments. The money was
raised and thus disposed of. Things stood in this way till April
1822. At this period, by another Convention, France withdrew
about half of this sem, and the remainder was to be paid to such
person or persons as the King and Government of Spain should di-
rect. In pursuance of this arrangement, this large sum was paid
over to Machado, the Consul-General and agent to the King of
Spain. In 1823, the King and Government of Spain directed Ma-
chado to transfer the sum. Accordingly Machado realized the pro.
petty, and came to England with it. The Cortes, in the sante year,
passed a law, authorising the King to apply this money to other
than the original purposes, his Majesty indemnifying his subjects
in respect of their claims in another way. By virtue of this au-
thority, the King and Government of Spain cm, red into a contract
with the plaintiff that he should pay over money for the general
services of Spain, and receive as an equivalent bills of exchange
drawn upon Machado, in respect of the fund in his bands. The
nwory was advanced, the bills drawn, and presented to \lachado.
Machado refused to accept the bills, contending that the King and
Government of Spain had no right to dispose of ibe.property in
such a way ' • and also that he himself was entitled to it. The, bill
stated, that Machado was td be considered as a trustee of this pro-
perty, having received this money as an agent of the Government
of Spain. Machado was a Spanish subject. and the whole of the
claimants were also of that character. Huliett stood in the same
situation thit Machado did, being Machado's agent. The plea
stated, that the money was irrevocably to be appropriated to the
discharge of the Spanish subjects' claims; that, according to the
laws of Europe and the usages of Spain, it could not be applied in
any other way, and that the King bad no right to make a law for
a different appropriation.' It was impossible, in his Eordthip's
opinion, that any sum of money could be said to be irrevocably ap.
propriated to any particular purpose in any country where the laws,
Sic. of that country were controlled by the Legislature. It was not
denied that a law had been passed for the different appropriation of
this money, and it was impossible, therefore, that this plea could
be regarded as an answer to the bill. If such a law was passed
Spain, this country would give effect to it under such circum-
stances—the plea would have to be over-ruled.
Flea disallowed, with costs.
VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, Nov. 24.
STURM V. OSINDALL.
Mr. Cos applied in this case that the depositions of a Lady, in a
declining state, might be read on the trial of an ejectment, pro-
vided her health would not allow her to attend, and be examined
viva voce. Mr. Grindall was entitled to a large property in the
Funds, under the will of the original testator. The plaintiff
asserted that the will had been improperly obtained, and filed his
bill for an injunction to in Grindall from getting possession of
the property. Upon the case coming on before' the Cow, the
plaintiff undertook to bring an action ; an injunction was granted ;
several ejectment' were brought, and it was at the trial of one of
these ejectments the evidence of this old Lady, given in the cause,
was sought to be read. The Court made the order, directing Mr.
Coe's clients to pay the costs.
SPARROW V. SPALROW.

Mr. Rom moved that the defendant, who was in Court, might
be taken to the Fleet under a writ of rebellion, for not having paid
certain monies ordered by the Court. The defendant was handed
over to the keeper of the Fleet.
COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Nov. 24.
ROSTOCK T. DRIER.
Mr. RICUARDS moved that this cause be referred to the Master,
to ascertain whether the plaintiff, an attorney, had allowed his clerk
to do business for the defendant for his (the plaintiff's) benefit.
The action was brought by Bosnia, to recover fur work and
labour done as an attorney, and the defendant nude an affidavit
that be did not employ the defendant, but his clerk.
Mr. Justice Lirrhsoaha—Your application is for information to,
enable your client to make out a defence. If the plaintiff, as an
atsorney, ha. shown misconduct, you should move to strike him off
the Rolls.
Mr. Rune enslf the Master should say there has been irre-
gularity on the put of the plaintiff, I may follow it up by the
motion suggested.
The COURT granted a rule to sheer cause.
RI PARTE TOR MCI OP lIARLPOROUGH.
Application was made fur a rule to chew *cawe why Henry
North and Henry John North should not deliver to hli Grace
the Duke of Marlborough all the Court Rolls, books and do-
cuments, in their possession, belonging to the Manor of Marl-
borough.
The motion was made upon 'eidetic, stating that Henry )ohn
Not tb had acted dining the last ten years as Steward of the Courts
of the Noble Duke% manor, and that in consequence of illness his

on Henry had acted as steward for his father. The books and
documents having been withheld, this motion became necessary.
The Court granted a rule.

ALM= MISCONDUCT OF AN ATTIMINNY.
After Mr. Justice LITTLIDALI bad called upon all the Bar-
risters, a tradesman (Mr. Longmore, dealer in carpets at Temple-
place. Blackfriars-road) addressed the Bench for the purpose of
stating the hardship of his ease, wising out of the misconduct of
an Attorney. The complainant moved for a rule to shew cause
why Mr. ---, an Attorney of the Court, should not be struck off
the Rolls.
It appeared from his affidavit, which was read in support of the
motion, that he received in 1827 a letter from the Attorney, re-
questing bim to call at his residence; he waited upon him ac-
cordingly, and consented to supply him with a carpet and rug,
hut finding upon inquiry that be was a prisoner for debt in the
King's Bench, and that it would not be safe to give him credit, be
did not deliver the goods. In January, 1828, the Attorney served
him with a copy of a writ at his own suit, and commenced an
action for breach of contract. The cause had not been brought
to trial, but was going on and putting the deponent to expence.
His taxed costs had then amounted to £23. It was further stated
that the Attorney had been in the habit of acting in a similar
manner against other tradesmen, and that the deponent had no
means of avoiding ruinous expence, unless the Court interposed its
authority.
Two other affidavits were made by persons charging the At-
torney with similar proceedings.
Mr. Justice Lirrutoacz said, the mere charge of bringing an
action which bad compelled the defendant to incur costs, was in
itself no ground for striking an Attorney off the Rolls of the Court ;
but before they decided the application, they would speak with the
other Judges.
Mr. Justice Nam observed, that they did not wish to give a
rule to show cause unless the applicant could succeed, as in the
event of failure he must pay the costs.
ALLIORD MURDER ...MIR MD • WILLIAM ATKINSON AND WILLIAM
MILNBIL
These defendants are now in custody in York Castle, charged on
the Coroner's inquisition,_ and committed on his warrant for the
alleged wilful murder of Thomas Holmes, on the With ult. at Skit-
low Moor, in that county.
Mr. Joint WILLIAMS, this morning, moved that these defendants
who had been brought up by habeas corpus, should be admitted to
ball. It appeared from the depositions taken before the Coroner,
that they were gamekeepers in the employ of Sir William Ingleby.
The deceased was a labourer, and at eleven o'clock on the night in
question was in company with two other men, of the names of
Motley and Tbackery, going to the bouse.of a farmer, for whom
they had worked in harvest, for the purpose of receiving their
wages. Holmes and Thackery walked first ; they had a lurcber
with them, but no instrument to kill game. The two defendants
suddenly rushed out upon them, and it being a very dark night. a
scuffle ensued. in which Thackery was knocked down. and stabbed
with some sharp instrument, at which moment Holmes called out
that he too was stabbed, and killed. The two Motleys came up
and joined the fight, but eventually, however, they were obliged to
run away. The deceased tried to get into the rst house be arrived at,
and was eventually taken, in a horse and cart. to Shew Mill. where
he died the next day. When about half way to that place, be com-
plained of violent pain, and said his bowels were coming out, and
begged for Goo's sake to be allowed to get out of the cart, and die
on the road. Mr. Cooper, a surgeon, attended the deceased, but
medical assistance was useless, mortification having taken place. He
confessed to Mr. Cooper, that he had been out poaching, and that
be had received the wound of which he was dying in an affray with
the keepers.
The defendants produced an latex. it Of Sir Was. Ingleby, in
which he stated that Atkinson liad,bcen in his service seven yeas,
and 3111ner one year, and that he hid known them both for many
years, and that they were kind and humane men.
The Come ordered them to be discharged from custody upon
entering into recognizances, themselves in £4OO each, and two
sureties in £lOO each. 111:11 was immediately put in.
The LORD Cuier Juana—lt was casually mentioned in the
Court of King's Bench this day by one of the Judges, that Lord
Teoterden would sit in Court to-morrow.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Nov. 24.

111 RD WOOD.

Mr. Sergeant Wigan' *bowed cause against a rule obtained by
Mr. Sergeant Russell last Term, calling upon Mr. Wood, an at-
torney, to show cause why he should not deliver up a deed,
executed by one John Hollier, in his favour, to be cancelled, on
the ground that Hollier was improperly induced to sign it.—
Heiner complained in his affidavit, that being a very poor man,
and entitled to the sum of 288, which had been left in the hands
of It. Thompson to accumulate at interest since 1810, he ap-
plied to Mr. Wood, to get the money for him, and that the
latter, after writing to the parties about it, luduced him to sign
an agreement to sell, what heat that time believed to be only the
Interest of the money to him for nineteen guineas, wh it af-
terwards turned nut, he had by the agreement and the deed after-
wards executed, assigned the whole of his interest in the pro-
perty to Mr. Wood for that sum, and that it was not a contin-
gent Interest, as be then was informed it was, but vested
and absolute right, for which he was now offered 2200. He
further swore that he was drunk when he signed the deed, and
could not read writing. Mr. Wood and Isis clerk, in answer to
this affidavit, swore that Mr. Bother was quite sober at the time
of the transaction, and that the agreement and the deed were both
read over to him, and that he appeared to be well aware of what
he was doing in every respect. Mr. Wood also deposed that he
was unwilling to purchase the property ac all, and desired
Nobler to apply elsewhere, and see whether he could get
any one to give more than twenty pounds for it before he
advanced him any money upon it. The Learned Sergeant
submitted that the transaction was perfectly fair, as the inte-
rest was obly a contingent one, depending upon the death of
Hollier's wife, and that Mr. Wood was not employed by Hol-
lisr as his attorney, which was the ground for this form of appli.
cation. The whole foundation of the complaint was that Hollier
did not know what he was about. Two witnesses had sworn that
be did, and therefore the rule must be discharged.
Mr. Sergeant Russeit, in support of the rule, asserted, that, it
appeared from the affidavits that Haler had a vested interest in
the property, and that he could never have intended to sell the
whole for nineteen guineas. He therefore prayed that the rule
might be made absolute, for the deed to be delivered on Mr.
Wood being paid the interest due, and receiving back the nineteen
guineas.
The COURT thought that the matter should be referred to the
Prothonotary for further inquiry.
Mot Wood, who was present in person, said that the money was
no object to hint, and that he was ready to restore the deed, on
being repaid the nineteen guineas and the costs
This arrangement appeared to be assented to by Mr. Sergeant
Russell.
TAMES T. (OMIT, PRINCES OT
Mr. Sergeant JOll2ll moved the Court for a rule to show cause
why Mr. Reynolds;anittorney. of this .Court, should not deliver
up the warrant of attornoy,givon in,this cause, •on the ground of
irregularity, and why he should not return the money paid by the
defendant to' him to mettlethiraction. His affidavit stated that her

ham Court-road, and that neither of the parties being able to pay it

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. •
VI A ITiagTrOUSE.
Jelin Brenham, the porter who was charged on Saturday last
with stealing a .11,000 note, the property of his employers, was
brought up again to-day, and committed for trial. The only addi-
tional evidence produced went to identify the note as that which
had been stolen. In the course of the investigation, the Loan
Mavoa took occasion to express a hope that what was now passing
would be a warning to the firm (Messrs. Bowman and Winter)
how they exposed so large an amount of money in an open drawer.
It was dreadful to see a man answer at the risk of his life for not
being superior to such temptation.
BOW-STREET.
Mr. Thomas, the Superintendent of Pelice,division F. appeared
yesterday morning with eight young girls, whom he caused to be
apprehended in the vicinity of the Theatres about midnight, charg-
ing them as known prostitutes. Ste.
Mr. Thomas's object in this step, however, was not with the
view of punishing them, but reclaiming them. It appears that
the secretary of an 'excellent institution, called the Female Asy-
lum, Hackney-road, has invited Mr. Thomas to send all such
friendless girls, who may feel a disposition to reform their lives,
to that refuge, where they will be fed, clothed, and instructed to
virtuous and industrious habits; in this case six out of the eight
very cheerfully accepted the invitation held out to them, and were,
by the sitting Magistrate, Mr. Hauls, delivered to Mr. Thomas,
who pledged himself for their safe consignment. The other two
were committed to prison ; thus a permanent prospect of freeing
the public from such characters is presented, and the probable sal-
vation of so many children of shame and misery.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
A decent looking woman, of middle age, named Etixabetk Quay,
was yesterday brought before Mr. Duck the Sitting Magistrate at
this Office, for final examination, charged with a series of extensive
depredations of the following kind:
It appeared that the prisoner managed to find out the names mad
residences of a number of laundresses and mangle women who are
employed by various families at the West-en 4 of the town, and on
the usual days of giving out linen to be washed, fcc. the prisoner
went to the houses of those families in the names of their laundresses,
saying that she was the sister of each laundress whom she re-
presented, and that the laundress herself was ill, and that she,
the prisoner, was sent for the clothes; and by these false repre-
sentations the prisoner, almost in every instance, succeeded in get-
ting possession of the family linen, which she immediately went and
pledged at some neighbouring pawnbroker's shop.
There was a vast number of cases of this description substanti-
ated against the priconer, and she was fully committed for trial.
The Magistrate observed that this was a species of robbery
which It was so extremely difficult to guard against, it was neees-
eery to make an example of the prisoner ; and he at the same time
said, that servants in families could not be too cautious as to what
persons they delivered their master's property to in this way.
Amt Maley, a servant formerly in the employ of Mr. Smith, the
proprietor of the Chandlers' Arms, corner of King's-street, St.
James's, was yesterday placed at the bar before the presiding Ma-
gistrate. It appeared that a few days since the prisoner went to
the house of a hair-dresser, and desired permission to leave a
bundle there for a few minutes. The request was complied with,
but the prisoner did not return for the bundle ; and upon ex-
amining it subsequently, it was found to contain a quantity of arti-
cles belonging to Mrs. Smith. The prisoner was immediately ap-
prehended by Avis, an active officer of this e-tablishment.
The prisoner said nothing in defence, and was fully committed
for trial. WORSHIP-STREET.
Yesterday a young man, named James Wilms, an aspirant for a
situation in the new police, and by some means or other, which are
unaccounted for by himself, was recommended to the notice of the
beads of that department by no less a personage than Lord Paget,
son of the Marquis of Anglesey, was brought before Mr. Diana-
you for further examination, charged under the following dream.

MOM
It appeared from the statement of one of the Bow-street patrol,
named Davis, that on last Sunday night, as he and one of his com-
panions were going up Stamford-hiU, they met the prisoner with a
bundle under his arm, and upon inquiry as to its contents the pri-
soner said it was linen. The officers examined the parcel, and
found that it contained about twenty-two yards of black silk crape.
The prisoner was then taken into custody, and he stated that he
got the crape from his father on the night before, at the Bull in
Tottenham, and that his father was for many years in the em-
ployment of Messrs. Baylis, Grout, and Co. crape-manufacturers,
Ponder's-end, and as the crape was in remnants, it was bis father's ,
perquisite. and he offered one of the pieces to the officers.
The facts were communicated t., Mr. Baylis, and yesterday the
parties were in attendance.
Mr. Baylis said their warehouse was in Gutter,lane, Cheapdde,
and their factory was at Pnoder's-end. The prisoner had been for
a short time in their employment, but hls father had been in their
service for the last eight years until Saturday night, when he ab-
sconded, and was in such confidence as to be the last man that
suspicion would fall on ; nor could he then account for the extent
of their loss. There were no perquisites of the kind, and the pro-
perty belonged to him and his partners.—So stood the first charge.
Sapwell produced to Sat basket containing upwards of one
hundred yards of crape, and said he was street.keeper of Bishops-
gate-street, and that the basket and its contents came into his pos-
session under the following extraordinary and singular circum-

stances :
On the 20th of October last a tradesman named Wilson, who re-
sides in Angel-alley (and who he can produce when required,)
expected from his friends in the country some apples and nuts fur
the festivity of All-kallows, ind he went to the Flower Pot,
in Bisliopsgate-street, where he expected the fruit, and where
he got the produced basket, directed " For Mrs. Wilson,
lie till call for." He paid ad. for the expenses, and, on bringing it
home, to the mortification of his children, in place of apples and
nuts, it was found filled ivith crape. Wilson became alarmed, and
after consulting with some friends was recommended to give the
property to an officer, which be did; and since the arrest of the
prisoner,and as the property corresponds with that found upon him,
together with the agreeing of the name, h? (Sapviell) went to the
Flower Pot, and understood that the basket came by a coach front
the direction of Ponder's end, and that there were two persons
anxiously looting for it. The booking clerk jocosely observed,
that as the parcel was niielaid they were good-natured fellows not
to press for its value.
Mr. Baylis and two of his clerks identified the property found In
the basket, and Mr. Baylis again observed there was no calculating
the extent of the injury, or the extent of time it had been car-

tfing on.
Mr. Baotniarox observed that the public, as well as the police,
had a happy escape from having such a person as their servant.—
He then told Sapwell to pay strict attention to the case, and to en-
de to ascertain the coach by which it came, as well as the
persons who were inquring after it. He then remanded the pri-
soner until Saturday.
THAMES POLICE.
Yesterday the stewards of the Thames Amicable Benefit Society
of Watermen and Lighteimen. held at the Black Buy, Lower East
Smithfield, appeared before Mr. HALLAM/1E and Capt. Memo.,
to show cause why they refused to reinstate Wm. Samuel Smith a
member of the society, wbo alleged that he had been expelled
without just cause. The complainant, it appeared, had been a
.member for i 3 years, and had regularly paid up all contribution%
.On the 28th of last August, he declared on the funds of the so-
dety on account of illness, and had been paid the weekly stipend
allowed to sick and infirm members, up to the 70 instant, when his
• name was scratched off the books, and the allowance withheld,
beams he had been frequently seen in a state of intoxication, and
absent from home at improper hours. The complainant denied
that he had ever been intoxicated, and on bring cross-examined,
admitted that on one occasion he had been away from home tut
one o'clock in the morning, and on that occasion he had spent the
evening at a friend's house in Spitalfields, three miles from his own
Residence, but the cause of his not reaching home sooner, was on
Recount of his affliction, and being unable to procure a conveyance.
After some dispute, and long legal arguments on points of law and
equity, during which Mr. Ballantine observed that the Society was
anything but an"' Amicable" one, the Magistrates ordered the
complainant to be reinstated, and said the stewards bad not proved
any act to warrant his expuhinn.
Jew Woodgete, a cook in the employ of Mr. Walker, a linen-
draper, in the Commercial-read, and Esther Walsh, were charged,
the foresee witb stealing a quantity of broken victuals, and the latter
with receivint the same. The prisoners were 'mime, d under the
Police Act to a month's imprisonment and hard labour.
