and northernmost of the Portuguese settrement,
ascertained the geographical site of the principal head-
lands, &c. We left Loando St. Paul ou the 19. h Dec.
last. This place, from the water, has an ininsing
aspect. Its fortifications are good, and the garish it has
lately been improved. in order to oppose anyittempt
of the Brazilians. Among the Portuguese military ate
many who served in the Peninsula war, and in that
school obtained a character which did not previously
belong to them. This port still sends vast nuinberrof

On the 25th December we arrived off the Month of

the Zaire, or Congo, but were unable to enter the river •
until the Ist January, on account of the strong outset of
the current round the south entrance of the river, though
we were frequently favotired with powerful 'Aids. On
the above day, however, the tide, together with a strong
breeze operating against the stream, enabled us to run
up as far as convenient, and we anchored off Sherwood's
Creek, in about the Congo's second anchorage on her
ascent op the river ; and very near where the indefati-
gable Professor Smith, who died in the Congo expedi-
tion, was interred. We were not high enough, or
Analficiently near to Embomma, to meet with any of our
particular friends but the Chenoo Cangi ; N. Toni, an
old chief, well known in the vicinity of Tall Trees, came
son board, bearing from an interpreter that some person
was here who formerly served in the Congo. He knew
me perfectly well, and he produced, with a variety of
others,-•chiefly Portuguese, a certificate written and
given him by the lamented Hawker, Lieutenant of the
Congo. It was in a very mutilated condition, and I
renewed it for him in the former name, villeins the
cause, dec. 1 made the Chenoo some small presents, in
token of remembrance and friendship, and be returned
me a duck and some Indian corn. -He staid on board
till the vessel was getting under way, and on leaving,

PAPER-DELIVERED IN BY ML FORSTER.

DIFFERENT MODES OF TAKING PAROL EVIDENCE.

The mode suggested'in the answer to Question 56, is
founded on the supposition of the continuance. of the
habit of laying the evidence, instead of the facts proved
before the Court. It has been considered that one com-
petent examiner, either of the appointment of the Court
or the Master, is preferable to a greater number chosen
in the usual way by the parties ; and that leaving it to
the parties td 'state the facts or case they mean to prove,
and examine the witnesses, subject to cross examination
by the opposing party (as in a Court of Lai) is out of
all question preferable to the exhibition of written in.-
terrogatorie,..
Another mode which has been deemed preferable by
opinions of great weight, is that of the appointment of
two examines s of the degree of a Barrister, of suffi-
cient standing, of the nomination of the Court; the oae
to be instructed and take the examinations on the part
of the plaintiff; .the other on the part of the defendant.
The examinations to be vivii.voce, in the presence of
both; and the witnesses subject to mutual cross-exami-
nation: afid each to take down the depositions of the
witnesses, on his :Lie. - Whether the questions put to
the witnesses, as well as their answers, or the latter only,
should be returned, is a matter for
.consideration.
A third mode is by. three Commissioners ; two (bar-
risters of the above description) al the election of the
parties, anda third of the appointment of the Court or
Master, proceeding la itbove, and the third Commis-
sioner Vting.-SUP uprise. Alva

A fifth is, by theeppeintsesat ante sr three tbeibove
description as Cowenissiesters, by tbe Court or the Nester, with
authority to hoar and judge of the evidence, and entity the alto
gets proved to their satisfaction.
A sixth (and that which in the humble opinion of the
writer claims the preference) is a trial by ae-shorirs

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Jura
Gasper James Rudolph Eschman was opposed by htr.
HEATH, on behalf of two creditors—namely, Mt. Bal.
foar, si silk merchant, if Mr. Ewens, a baker. The
insolvent had been before the Court en a former day,
when it appearing that he had previously taken the
benefit of the act within the period of five years, his case
was Adjourned generally, to obtain the consent of three-
' fourths of his creditors. Failing in this, he now sought
Ito obtain his discharge, on the ground that his present
debts had been incurred thruh inevitable misfortune,
whereby the consent of three-fourths of his creditors was
rendered unnecessary. It being proved, however, that
the debt to Mr. Ewens had been contracted by inducing
him to cash a bill, which he understood from the in-
solvent bad been received by the latter for valuable
consisleaticin7liut which turned out to be a mere accom•
isiodation bill, it was held by the_Court, after hearing
an ingenious address from Mr. Cams, in support of the
insolvent, that the debt not having been incurred in a
fair manner, he had failed to establish such a case of
innocent misfortune as the Act Contemplated, and there-
fore his petition was ordered to be dismissed.
Henry d. Pricker, whose caw stool over until he shookd deliver
op possession of a house to his landlord, came up again today; bat
it appearing that, although be bad since consented to give up the
house, all the fixtures had been removed and disposed of, his
charge was further postponed until the Males be restored.
HIGH COURT OF JUSTICIARY, EDINBURGH, JOLT S.
81111111 11. Roo' Procurator-Fined of the Justice of Peace Court
of Roxburghshire (Jedborgh District).
Mt. Sheriff, a Gentleman, resident in the neigboor-
hood of Jedburgh, in October last, ordered a small cask
otapirits from Edinburgh, which was accordingly sent
by the carrier, with an Excise permit, and left on a
Saturday night at a toll bar near Mr. Sheriff's residence.
No notice, however, was sent to Mr. Sheriff of tbe ar-
rival of the cask, till Sunday afternoon, when he was
also informed that the time allowed in the permit for
delivery would expire on the Monday. Mr. Sheriff,
dreading a seizure by the Excise, and the possibility of
his being found liable in a penalty, in the afternoon lent
his servants to bring home the cask, which, after some
opposition by a constable in the 'neighbourhood, was
accordingly effected. Information was then given by
the constable to the Procurator fiscal, who, being
actuated, it would seem, by rather more seal than dis-
cretion, laid a complaint against Mr. Sheriff, for a breach
of the Sabbath, before the Justice of Peace for the Jed-
burgh•District, and obtained a edriviction against him
for a penalty of 101. Scots, under certain old Scots
statutes against Sabbath breaking ! Mr. Sheriff, being
dissatisfied with the judgment of the Justices, brought
the cause by advocation before the Court of Justiciary,
pleading in justification,that his sole object in removing
the cask on the Sabbath was to protect his property,
and avoid a breach of the Excise laws.
The Corm, after bearing Counsel anima sides, without express-
ing any opinion as to whether thew statutes were in dearetarie, bet,
front the total hrsigularky of the proceedings of Reid. he Finds
and the District Justices, advocated die esase, sod assollsied the
defender, Mr. Sherif.
