ENGLAND IN ERROR V. DAVIS.

This was an action brought by the defendant in error
to recovrr from the plaintiffs in error a sum of stock,
standing in the name of the defendant in error in the
books of the Bank of England, but which had been
drawn out by the brother of the defendant, by means
of a forged power of attorney. The case was tried in
the Court of Common Plers, whim the defence set up
was, that the defendant in error had, after he was aware
of the forgery, not given notice. to the. Bank for six
months. A verdict was found for the Bank of Eng-
land upon the second and fourth counts of the declara-
tion, and for Mr. Davis upon the first and third counts,
upon which error was assigned.
Mr. Serjeant Boaanctuvr having been heard thiss day for the
plaintiffs in error, and Mr. TINDAL for the defendant in error,
The Court was of opinion, that the first and third counts were
bad, and therefore pronounced judgment for the plaintiffs in error.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS! Warsaw:ma, JAW. sl.
• (4110•8 V. RICHARDS.
Mr. Serjeant WILDE, on the part 'of the Warden of
the Fleet, moved the Court fora rule to shew cause
why the defendant should not be discharged from that
prison? The defendant was already dischargeable, but
it was so'contrived, that in order that he might still
remain in the prison, a new detainer was laid on him
for 3004 at the suit of the plaintiff. This was supposed
to be a fictitious demand, made at the instance of the'
defendant, for the purpose alleged ; for, at the time the
detainer was filed, the defendant and plaintiff were in
conversation together in one of the rooms of the prison.
The Court had recently made a rule that such pi isoners
as were superseded should be forthwith discharged,
and the continuance of this defendant in the prison
would be in violation of that rule.—A rule to shew
cause was granted.
At twelve o'clock the Court rose. and the Lord Chief Justice
Bur soon after sat.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, JANUARY 11.
Samuel Pixley was opposed at great length by Mr•
POLLOCK, on behalf of several creditors. This case,
which had nothing interesting in its details, was consi-
dered by the Court to be one of fraudulent concealment.
The insolvent WAS therefore remanded for a period to
be hereafter fixed.

Robot Dennis also, who was heard on his petition in
D:cernber last, and was finally detected in attempting;
to defiaud his creditors by a pretended bill of sale, re-
ceived this day the judgment of the Court, which was,
that he be confined within the walls of the prison, fif-
teen calendar months from the date of his petitirm.

William Thiamin, after a slight opposition, obtainei
his di charge; and Ldward Davies was rerna►.aed to
amend his schedule.
