PARISH OF ST. CLEMENT DANES.

Yesterday a meeting of the inhabitant householders
of this parish was held at the Vestri'icolwr, to audit and
pass the accounts of the Seni t Churawaiden, to elect
ttso Churchwardens for the year ensuing, and to appoint
ten persons as a Bnard of Assistants In :he Ch.ochwar-
dens and Overseers. The Reverend Mr. GURNRY took
the Chair. Only one item of 281 for ref e.tintent to the
Vestrymen, on the conclusion of their monthly parochial
meetings. was objected to in the accounts of Mr. Wit.
hams, the Senior Churehwarden for the past year.
Mr. J. CLARE,. late Overseer, said the charge Was most none-
ceuary, and it would redound to the honour of the parish if thew
who partook of tefresbments would pay for them.
Mr. Cowes, the Vestry Clerk, said that the allowance was
granted for the purpose of keeping up good fellowship amongst
the parlshiwuts.
The accounts were, however, passed, and thanks were voted to
Mr. Williams for his conduct while in °Mee.

The Meeting then proceeded to the election of two Church.
wardens. and Xlr. Thomas Scrivener, plumber, of Clare.street, aid
Mr. James Milbonrne, carver and gilder, of the Strand, Wee
elected for the year ensuing.
The Meeting also proceeded to the election of ten persons as a
Board of Assistants. Among the number elected were the late
Overseers, including Mr. Clarke; and ou the latter Ge:stiem.n
propo.ing two other permons, he WI, opposed by Mr. Bellamy and
another, who were strongly .upported by a party who were brought
down, as Mr. Clarke stated, to resist the appointment of the per.
sons whom be proposed.
The two Geinkmen nominated by Mr. Clarke were rejected.
and Mr. Bellamy and Mr. tiifford were elected.
Mr. CLARICE said that proper respect had not been paid to bins
as a late Overseer, who bad faithful., discharged his ditty. lie
should decline acting on the Board, And begged that his name
might he withdrawn.
Mr. CH ern it, a butcher in Clare market, said Mr. Clarke's con-
duct was by no means gentlemanly.
Mr Cu eel said that Mr. Chettle was hostile toward, him, he.
cause l e (klr. Clarke) had complained of Mr. Chtttle's send•ng
very fat mutton to the workhouse, and which was a great basso !he
rtr.sh. Mr. Clarke tiara complained of the manner in which the
Board of Assistauts performed duty, and said that the persons
be had proposed would have attended to the business.
A loots di,cu.sion then took place, and at the conclusion them tu-
bers of the meeting stated that they would not dispense with the
services of Mr. Clarke, notwithstanding that Geutlentau had no.
i.estsilly declared that he would not serve.
The Meeting then adjourned.

LAW IN,TELiIoggCL

• COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Waresintsm,
Sittings in Banco.
The Court has been occupied during the last eight
days almost exclusively' in hearing motions for new
trials in cases tried at the last Assizes, and at the Sit-
tings in London and Middlesex after Hilary Term. The
following was the last of the motions of this descriptions
BICRNASCONI AND OTHERS V. IAREBROTHER AND
OTHERS. ,
Mr. GOAN!! moved for a rule nisi to set aside the
.verdict obtained by the plaintiffs in this case, and enter,
a nonsuit, or for a new trial. The Learned Counsel
observed, that this action, which was tried (for the,
third time) before Lord Tenaerden and a Special Jury in
this place on the 22d of last month, was brought by the
assignees of Messrs.Chanshers, the late bankers, against
the Sheriff of Middlesex, and a person of the name of
Wilton, for a trespass in seising certain property which
bad belonged to Messrs. Chambers before their bank•
ru ptcy,and which the assignees now claimed as belonging
to tbem.The object of the action was to try the validity of
the commission of bankrupt against the Messrs. C. which
wis issued on the 19th of Nov. 1825. It appeared by
the evidence at the trial, that the banking-house of
Messrs. Chambers stopped payment in November,lB24,
shortly after which time an arrangement was made
between Messrs. Chambers and their creditcors,ty which
the former agreed to place their affairs under the ma-
nagement of a Committee, and the creditors agreed to
give Messrs. Chambers a letter of license. In pursuance
of this arrangement a deed was executed by which a
Committee of Management was appointediand thewhole
of the property and funds were placed In their hands,
with a power of sale. The deed also contained a cove•
nant on the part of the Messrs. Chambers not to trade.
The Committee, uuder the authority of this deed, pro-
ceeded to take upon themselves the management of the
Messrs. Chambers's affairs, and for that purpose (the
'bank iu a, house in New Bond street being given up) they
Lock a house in South Molton-street. The Messrs.
Chambers became their servants at a salary, and as-
sisted them in the arrangement of the affairs. The
Committee continued to act in execution of the provi-
sions of the deed of management (making sties and re•
ceiving and paying bills), until the 9th of November,
1825, when, in consequecce of differences having arisen
between view and the Messrs. Chambers, they re-
inked theletter of license contained in thedeed, and gave
up the management of the affairs. In the course of ten
days after, the commission of bankrupt was issued. On
the trial. the plaintiffi endeavoured to prove a trading by
.Messrs. Chambers as bankers prior to the Ist of Septem-
ber 1825, when the last Bankrupt Act came into opera-
tion ; but Lord Tenterden was of opinion, upon the evi-
dence. that no such trading had been established, the
banking house having been shut up after N0v.1824, and
she affairs placed in the hands of the Committee of
Management. It was however contended. on the part of
the plaintiffs, that another business in which the Messrs.
Chambers, had been engaged, had been continued
after the banking house had been shut up ; and for the
purpose of proving a trading with reference to that
busii•eis; evidence was given to show, that from, the year
1821, the Messrs. Chambers had been engiged in part-
nership with a Mr. White, in the manufacture of a spe-
cies of cement called rzzslani, and that this.business
'had been cuntinued under the direction of the committee
of man.. gement down toNov. 9. Upon this evidence Lord
Tenterden intimated an, opinion that the trading of
Messts.Chaniheis as pozzalani manufacturers had been
continueJ,sa nd directed the Jury accordingly; and they,
under his Lordship's directions, found a verdict for the
plsintiffs, which established the validity of the com-
mission. The Learned Counsel had now to submit.
Oat his Lordship's direction was wiong ; that the trading
of Messrs. Chambers, both as bankers and pozzalans-
manufacturers, had ceased after the execution of• the
deed of management, and that, consequently, they were,
not traders at the time the new Bankrupt Att came into,
operation. It appeared that the whole of Messrs. Cham-I
bers's property in this business had been included in the
deed of management, and the Committee had the entire
management of the business, and were by the deed
empowered to sell the property. The Messri. Chambers,
had ceased to act in the business on their own eccoont
after November, 1824. They had renounced all con-.
troul in the managethent. and bad expressly covenanted
with the committee not to carry on any trading on their
own account. How, then, could it be said that they
bad, in the period between November 1824, and No-
WeMber 1825, sought to gain their living as manatee-
turers oC pozzalani ? But there was another point to
.which be (Mr. Gurney) wished to call the attention of the
-Cyan. In the commission the banktups were described
as ”. bankers. being traders." There were no other wordb
!descriptive of their trading, and there were not even the
usual words,'' dealers. and chapmen." There had been
eases under the old Bankrupt Act, in which the Conics
had held that a species of trading different from that'
described an the commission might, in some instances;
tesotted to; but there was no case in n filch a
party had been allowed to resort to a second ti
under a description similar to the preient. In the
case of " I-141e v. iu the Court of Common
Tleas, .8 Taunton, 730, the commission which de-
Scribed. the bankrupt as a ..Araks in cattle" had
been sustained on its being paved that he was a dealer
in hops; but there was an important difference be-
, semen the descriptive winds in that commission and
the present. The bankrupt in that case was described
as a dealer in cattle, " or seeking to gain his living by
buying and, selling;" and the Court held, that as a,
dealer in hops (which , the banktupt was subsequently
proved to,.b ) , was person who. sought
.to gain his
living by buying and selling, the description wassuffi-
cient to sustain the Commission. In the present case,
however, there was no general descriptive words.. The
description was limited to the trade of the partiei as
bankers, and under such a description the Learned
Counsel submitted that evidence could not be given of
. the parties being traders, in any other businep. A third
point to which he would beg to direct the, attenti,n
of
their Lordships, was the alleged act
.of isanksuptcy on
, . the part of the younger Mr. chfutbers. Tire only
evidence of such act of. banicryptcy was the fact of
Mr. Chambers, jun. having discontinued his attend-
ance at the house in South Mutton street. alter the
letter of license had been revoked on the 9th of No-
, vember, 1825. It had been said that he kept away from
that house for the purpose of avoiding arrests; but there
was no evidence of that fact; the circumstance oil
his having ceased going to 'the haispe after the Com.
.soittee had given tip, them anagernant of the affiirs,
was accounted for ba bia,knowledge that there gral,ll9
further occasion for hicsetaicea at that places, had
a private residence iss Alfre‘f-place..Totmnbara-cor,-
, road, and it did not appear that bitted, at 'the time
mentiobed, left that residence; but on,the Contrary,*
was, reared that he had been sawed there. Ilse
Learned Counsel, after arguing at. some *length the
several points which he had submitted to the Court,
observed that this case was One of very coasidera'bk
importance, and be trusted that on some rine crthe
