THE XING 9. RAMBDZN AND CLARKS.

These defendants were brought up to receive the
judgment of the Court upon an indictment for a con-
spiracy, on which they were found guilty at the sittings
after last Easter Term, in London, before Lord Ten-
terden. The indictment charged the defendants, and
others who were acquitted, with conspiring to defraud
the creditors of Ramsden, by suing out a fraudulent
commission of bankrupt against Ramsden and Clarke;
and there was also a count charging them with con-
spiring tn sue out a fraudulent commission for the pur-
pose of defrauding the creditors of Ramsden.
Lord TENTEassm read the notes of the trial, which
was reported in our Paper of June 4, after which
Mr. F. Pow.ocx and the Comstom-Senoxater, by
leave of the Court who had ordered the matter to stand
neer, were heard in behalf of the defendants, who applied
fee a new trial, on the ground that evidence had been
improperly received. Tne 96th section of the last
Bankrupt Act provides, that no commission of bank-
ruptcy. adjudication, assignment, or certificate, should
be received as evidence unless entered of record. The
commission was not produced at the trial, nor was it
enrolled, and, in consequence, the Attorney-General
gave up the first count of the indictment, and relied
solely on the second, which charged the defendants
with conspiring to sue out a commission ; and, .to prove
this conspiracy, he offered in evidence the assignment
by the Commissioner; which bad been enrolled; and.
Lord Tenterden, after argument, admitted it.
Mr. Pott.ocx, for Captain Ramsden, now contended,
that the assignment, although enrolled, was not evi-
dence; because the commission not having been en-
rolled, the officer had no authority to enroll the assign-
ment. It had been offered to confirm the testimony of
Smallwood, who had acted as assignee under the com-
mission. , There was at attesting witness to the assign-
ment, who was-called for other purposes, but had not
been examined as to the assignment, the execution of
which had not been proved. The evidence was rep
ceived at the peril of those who required it. The Ad-
judication, and other proceedings under the bank.
ruptcy, were also received in evidence, and were open
to the same objection.
Mr. Justite BAYLiT, asked how the evidence was.
tesiakon

a charge 'to -itre out the commission ?
Mr. Por.z.oc.r..—We cannot speculate on the value
of the testimony i it was produced to confirm the evi-
dence of Smallwood, a person who was indicted with
the defendants, and was acquitted for the purpose of
making him a witness, and who began his testimony by.
an avowal of his own guilt ; and there was every pro-
bability that the Jury would not have believed ilk evi-
dence if it had not received that confirmation. It was

impossible to say that it did not produce material of--'
lest; and if it was not strictly admissible. Captain Earns-
den was entitled to a new trial.

The COMMON SZRGIANT. for Clarke. argued, that as
the commission was not produced, the assignment was
the act of strangers, the Commissioners being no par-
ties to the indictment.
The ATTORNEY GINERAL and Mr. GI7RNET, for the
prosecution, contended, that the Act of Parliament pre-
vented the commission and assignment being evidence
in case they were not enrolled, for the support of any
proceeding founded upon the commission; but did not
prevent their being evidence on a charge like this of
fraudulently issuing the commission ; and compared it
to the case of a forged bill of exchange, written upon a
wrong stamp, where the bill, nocwithrtanding the defect
of the stamp, might be given in evidence against the
person indicted for forging it.
Mr. PoLLoce and the Custsiox•Seastaxt were heard
in itply.
The Count deferred pronouncing their opinion.
At the rising of the Court, Lord TENTIREZN said that
the Court would proceed on the new trials to-morrow,
after the motions on the special paper on Friday; and
that on Saturday they would not take any Crown case,
but proceed on the new trials.
COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, JuNz rt.

This morning a further addition was made to the
number of Sergeants at Law, by the admission of
Messrs. Scriven, Stephen, and Bampus, to the dignity
of that office. Having gone through all the customary
formalities, they took their seats within the bar, below
those who were appointed ors Monday.
THWAITES V. FOSTER.

The defendant in this case was brought up, charged
in execution, and made a personal application to the
Court for a rule to chew cause why the proceedings in
this case should not be set aside, on the ground that he
had not received good notice of trial. To support this
application he put in an affidavit, in which he swore,
that having employed the plaintiff as an attorney, he
had become indebted to him, but that the plaintiff had
commenced acs action, and obtained a verdict against
him, without giving him proper notice of trial.
The COURT, upon the strength of this affidavit,-im-
mediately granted ti .e rule to shew cause.
Mr. Foster theninquited of heir Lordships in what
manner he should again pre.ent himself before them?
Having been for 16 months in confinement, his circuits.
ta nue were so seduced, that he was totally ii:capabl•
of employing Counsel.
Mr. Sergeant TADDY rose at this instant, and wa.
about to speak, when
Tlx LORD CHM' Justice interrupted, and said, I
see my brother 'faddy has anticipated what 1 was about

to ssy, that I was emordsioallThioy dewiness presmit.l

Hat iag exptessed his thanks to the Court, and to. Mr.
Sergeant 'faddy, Mr. Foster railed.
The Court directed that the plaintiff should shew
csiute pereinptorily on Tuesday pest.
COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Jess 27.

PREACH OP PR"MIER Or IIARRIACIP.
001::...H V. PARR.

The plaintiff in this case is the daughter of a Dissent-
ing Clergytnan, residing and officiating at Tetbury, in
the county of Gloucester. About three years ago he
kept a school at Bristol, where a brother of the defen-
dant's being placed under his tuition, led to an intimate
acquaintance between the two families. The plaintiff
was described as being 24 years of age, of great prrsonal
beauty and accomplishments, who had for a consider-
able time superintended the education of the children
of the Hon. Mrs. Noel. The defendant is the son of a
respectable silversmith in Bristol. At the time when
the courtship commenced between the parties, the de-
fendant was a widower, 35 years old, and had a child
by his former marriage. In May 1826, the plaintiff
being on a visit to the house of the defendant's father,
in Bristol, received such a degree of attention from the
defendant, as left no doubt upon her mind of his
attachment to her. The result of this impression was,
that before leaving Bristol, she addressed a note to
him, in which (after stating that she knew not how to
apologise for at all writing to him under such cir-
cumstances) she confesses that their acquaintance had
excited in her mind feelings which it was impossible
to describe; that if the affection were not mutual,
she begged that he would at least acquaint her
will that distressing fact. and would also destroy the
communication which she had been induced to make of
the state of her feelings. To this letter, the defendant
replied, that the attachment was mutual, and his love,
for her unbounded; and from this period, a corres-
pondence was carried on between them until the sth of
July, from which day the defendant, Without having
assigned any reason, put an end altogether to the ac-
quaintance. After various efforts had been made by
the young jaady, as well as by her father and another
friend, to induce the defendant to perform the engage-
ment into which he had entered, an action was brought
at the Spring Assizes at Gloucester, which was tried
before Mr. Sergeant Bosanquet during the illness of
Baron Garrow. The Jury, at that trial, gave the plain.
tiff 2501. damages. Upon a former day, Mr. Sergeant,
Ludlow obtained a Rule Nisi, for a new trial, and yes-
terdiy Mr. Charles Phillips :hewed cause against the
Rule, and read extracts from several of the defendant's
letters, in which he declared that the plaintiff was the
counterpart of his deceased wife, and the only person
in the world who could fill up the blank, which the,
unfeeling hand of death bad made in his happiness, by
depriving him of his former spouse. The correspond-
ence contained numerous professions of unalterable at.
taament and inviolable constancy.
Mr. Sergeant LUDLOW supported the Rule. on the
ground that the damages were excessive, and the con.'
duct of the Lady more forward than became her sex
and situation.
The Covet. unanimously were of opinion that tbe,
verdict ought not to be disturbed, and thought the,
damages rather too small than too large. With regard'
to the young Lady, the Court were all of opinion that
there was not the slightest ground for imputing to her
the least degree of impropriety, or unbecoming for-
wardness in any part of her behaviour.

POLICE INTELLIGENCES

MANSION-HOUSE. •

A men named ad" who has been often pulled up" for pa
bad money, was brought before the Looa Mato..yesterday, change
passing
with having practised his old trade.
Mr. Caine, the proprietor of the French Horn public-house, in
Cretchedfriare, stated, that the prisoner went into his house on Se-
turday evening, at about half past six o'clock, and called for a glass
of beer, for which be paid with a half-crown; when witness gave
him the change, the,prisoner threw a shilling to him, and asked him
for another. This shilling was a bad one, and the witness was con.
vineed that dte shillings which be had given in change were liner.,
eeptionable. While be was hesitating upon the subject the owner of
a neighbouring public house entered,srised the prisoner, and charged
him with being a passer of bad money. An officer soon after search-
ecrhim, and found upon him several good half crowns, shillings sad
nixpeoces, but no bad money. Near the spot, howeveei where he
was apprehended, four bad shillings, wrapped up in a piece pf paper;
was picked up.
Mr. Whitehorn, the landlord of the Globe public-house, in
Crutebedfrbrs, then stmed, that theta a fortnight ago the prisoner
went to his house and asked for some trifling article, to pay for
which he tendered half.a.erown. The witness gave him change,
but the prisoner immediately threw a shilling to hint, saying that it
was bad. Witness perceived that it was bad, indeed, and gave the
prisoner a send one Instead of it. This encouraged the prisoner to
make a second experiment. On Saturday evening he walked Into
the house and asked for a glass of ale, and put down half-a.crown.
Witness gave bins good change, upon which the prisoner threw
over to him a bad shilling, saying that he objected to it, and must
have another. The witness gave him webs Hat of it, and the pri.
loner left the house. He, however, had not gone far, when the
witness recollected his customer, and ran after him just as he was
attempting at Mr. Caine's)touee to play ei a similar nick.
The Loan Maros said that he considered the evidence quite con-
dense, and committed the prisoner for triaL

GUILDHALL'
Mr. Ambidge, of Newgate.anarket, spelled to Mr. Alderman
HITIAATIN
.yesterday, for a summons against Mr. Coohon, of the
new Theatre of Anatomy, in Aldeesgatoetreet, that be might shew
cause why he detained the MUSS of a pig which had strayed into
the avenue to the theatre, and had .been shot by some of the pro-
fessional Gentlemen. He (Mr. Ambidge) had made application on
Monday,when Mr. Alderman Ansley promised that an officer should
call upon Mr. Coulson, and the result would be made known to him
on the following day. On that day be, unfortunately, was too ill to
attend; but be saw by the newspapers Mr. Coulson had appeared,
and alleged that the pig was mad. Mr. Coulson bad said the same
thing to him (Mr. Ambidge), and Imputed the malady to the
animal having been hunted. Now be never yet heard tell of a
pig running mad, and a Gentleman by his side, who had
had thousands and thousands of pigs through his bands, and was et'
course well versed in the pathology of the race, would bear •irs..l
timony to the same point. Sheep, bullocks, and horseiwould get
crazy sometimes, from being overdriven' and other. causes;
but not so the pig. He did not deny that there had ever been
such a thing as a mad pig, but then its madness must have
arisen from bring bitten by a rabid dog. If Mr. Coulson had
chucked a handful of corn down to the pig, its madness woultrhave
been at an cud directly, and it would have eaten the corn Instead of
biting the dog; but the truth was, that the poor thing got into a
dangerous place—(A laugh).—lf it had run into any other house in
Aldersgate•street, it would have come out alive. lie allowed he
intended to have made posh of the carcase U be bad obtained it.
Mr. Alderman HeroaTz asked if be had any authority in such
a case?

Mr. Payne, the second clerk, referred Mtn to the Ist Geo. IV.
c. 56,by which any person who shall wilfully commit any damage,
injury, or spoil," upon real or personal property of any nature or
kind soccer,' may be apprehended by the owner, or under bis
authority, without any warrant, and the Justice shall cause the of-
fender to make reasonable satidsctinn, not exceeding £5.
Mr. Alderman Fihroara looked cautiously through this statute,
and found in one of the latter clauses, that it was not to extend to
any case where the justice was satisfied that the party complained
against acted under a fair and reasonable supposition that he had a
right to commit the act complained of. " This,- said the Alder•
man," exactly bits my idea nt the fading mulct which Mr. Coohoti
has acted, and I cannot, therefore, illitticlej but you have still a,
