-Mt. KNIGHT appeared, mid said that when this case
'wee mentioned in the Court yesterday, he bad been left
Ist-accident without any instructions on the subject.—
He had since been furnished with an affidavit, which he
begged permission to read. It stated that the present
Coroner, for whose removal the writ was prayed, had
for a period of forty years discharged the duties of his
office with great credit and undeviating punctuality.
He had, however, fallen into some embarrassments, and
was detained in prison at this moment at the suit of one
creditor only. He was at this moment engaged is a
negotiation, the object of which was to procure his re-
lease by liquidating the demand of this crediterrand be
had so fair a prospect of success, that his application
it present was only that the Court would suspend their
order against him for a short time. He was quite sure
that by the next Epiphany Sessions, he should be able
to attend personally to his duties, and would make his
appearance at the Quarter Sessions. His presence in
the meantime was not absolutely necessary, for there
were three other Coroners, and the duties of the office
bad been duly discharged by them.
The LORD CHANCELLOR asked how long the Coro-
ner had been in prison?
Mr. Ketone replied, that he had ben than lei*
since last November.
The Loan CHANCELLOR said, that althaughibere
might be CoroDers for other districts,: they had their
several duties to perform, and it was clear that the in-
tent* of the public must soflkr by this Gentleman's ab-
ase*. Perhaps, however, as he had discharged his du-
ties sie long to the satisfaction of the-C6unty, be was
*Wed to some.consideration. His Lordship wished to
know whether there was any objection to this.
Mr. DANIEL said he was ant instructed to object to
any reasonable delay. •
The LORDJHAMCILLOR wished to know by whom
the Petition as presented.
Mr. DANIEL replied, by the direction of the County
Magistrates, who had felt the incouveaience of having
the office vacant. They had done so with great reluc-
tance, sod not until they felt that the dietharge of their
duty required it.
It was fixed that the Petition should be mentioned
•agaia on the second seal after Tans.

ARNOW N. MARTIN.
Counsel were prepared to argue this appeal, when the
Loan Cifenclu.oa asked whether it would not be
better that the judgment should be at once delivered.—
Lard Eldon had heard the arguments at great length,
end had considered the question. }le was prepared to
,judgment at the period of his going out of
officepttut it bad been objected that he should do so
since that event. His Lordship now wished to know
it the parties would be content, without having the
argument over again before'llim, that his Lordship'
should give the judgment,which Lord Eldon had pre-
pared. He understood, that on whichever side it might
be decided, the parties were resolved to appeal the
question to-the House of Lords ; and• it could thetefore
be neither necessary nor advisable that the Court should
be taken up with hearing an argument which must be
repeated elsewhere.

consent.

was also a member. It was the duty of all the watery ,
Milburn among the rest, either to make payment of the

were resisted, and the expense of sesisting them ought
now to be paid jointly by them aIL It it were proper

fended theta, would hardly say that it was not—the
expenses of 'them should be paid by all the partners,
and by Milburn among the rest ; and if he should now
be allowed to recover all bis costs of the defendants,.
the defendants would have a right to recoves of him
not only his own costs, but theirs, by way of contribu-
tion. On these grounds the Court thought that the -
action was not maintainable, and that the rule gained
by Mr. J. Williams must be made absolute.

an attorney of the Coon, whose name he did not men-

under the following circumstances :—Lieutenant
Clerk had employed the attorney to purchase for-him
two several- estates, and had paid into his hands
two several sums of 2,4001. and 1,9501. to complete the
purchases. He had since discovered that the attorney

Illettirday last a writ of Hab-as Corpus was ismed,
calling •pon John Martin and James Rice to produce
thebedy of a Lady,'whom they had taken, as it was
alleged, by force from her husband's house. The writ
was returnable yesterday : but ►y an *strangemewt
made between the Court and Mr. Adolphus, it was
agreed that it should not come under dimussion till
to-day.

As won as it was called on, the Arrorturr GamutAL
rose and said, that a brief had been delivered to him.in
this cause, but at too late an hour for hiss to attend to it.
It was left at his house at twelve o'clock it night ; and
it was not to beexpected that he coald•have attended to
ebrief so strangely delivered w him. Mr. Adolphus
See been originally eisplojed in the case, and was no

Putt prepared to argue it.
Achat. Adolphus was not then in Court, the matter
stood ever Tor a short thus. On his re-entering it,
Mr. HILL moved, that theyeturn to the writ should
be read by the officer of the Cotter. The parties con-
cerned iu the return were either in Court or neat it.
The imam to else writ wen then read. The parties to
whom it was directed (John Martin aid James Rite).
returned, that on the 7tb of November lust, Ann Hodg-
kinson,aarasheawAshalf the writ had been moved, felt
her husband's house at Kilhoniefher own free will and
consent, and accompanied them to the house of Mrs.
Doggett, in Davies-street, Berkeley-square, where she
had remained up to the present time, of her own free
will and pleasure. The parties claimed no right to de.
tain the Lady..autt certided that she was how present
in Court, according to. the order of the writ.
Mr. HILL.—Do Tear tordihips wish to have the
Lady pradecarpersoselloyin Court? She is now in an

distely afterwards e Gentleman, in deep mourning, led
three Ladies, also dressed in deep mourning, into the
Court. Mrs. Hodgkinson appeased to be about 35
years old. They took their seats immediately under
their Lordships.
Mr. HILL then said that this was a writ of habeas
corps, moved by My, Adolphus, on the part of Thonias
Hodgkinson, who-described himself as a diaper in New
Bond•street. His affidavit stated that his wife, on whose
behalf the writ was moved, was liabliwfits of insanity ;
that she resided at Acre Cottage, 4ilWlulit,...,the house of

John Martin, jun. a cousin of his. ife, aacta solici • ,
came to his house and took her away frosts it by. force:
The ATTORNIT.GENERAL here interrupted Mr. Hill,
and said that be had now had time to look at the affi-
davits, aod he had already seen enough of them to say,
that the question which the Court would hare to decide
upon them was a question of great difficulty. He dame.
tore wished, on bra own authority, to propose, that the
question respecting fitness should be submitted to a
private tribunal--.to a Gentleman at sq. , for its-
stance, on whom both parties might agras.ila thought

Kr. HILL declared himself ready ot-sof erne at•
send to any intimation which came from the Court,.or
from his Learned Friend; but there was in this case no,
difficulty whatever.
Mr. Justice BATE-re—Then there can be no difficulty
in deciding it but of Court.
The Airontrrt GENERAL--It must be, recollected
that more affidavits must be filed on our side in answer
to those which may be read on the other tide to-day.,
Therefore no decision to which the Court may come,
today can be final.
Mr. HILL said, that if his Learned Friend had been
present on Saturday, he would have known that no
further affidavits were to be filed in the case after Wed-
nesday. He had partly applied for a rule, in order to
bring al the facts of the case before the Court.
Lord TEWTERDEN observed, that it was unimportant
what opinion might have prevailed on Saturday. The
question now was, whether it would not be better fut
all panics that this matter should be submitted• to the
consideration of a private rather than a public tribunal?
The ATTORNEY GENERAL said that the husband
was now called upon to go into questions which were
very unfit for public discussion; and if any charge• nt
improper conduct were made_in the affidavits now filed
against him, he must of course be allowed time to make
affidavits in reply to them.
Mr. Justice BAYLaY—In the mean time any Gentle-
man at she bar would be able to decide whether the
wife were now free from restraint or not.
The Arrotme GENERAL proposed to refer that
print to the decision of Mr. Taunton, Whose know.
ledge of law, and whose acuteness of judgment, fully
qualified him to judge upon such a clues:ion.
Mr. HILL—I can have no possible objection to Mr.
Taunton; bur I am instructed not to consent to any pri-
Way reference.
Mr. Justice BATLEY—Had you not better take till
to-morrow to consider of the proposal made to you,
Mr. Hill ? •
The ATTORNEY GENERAL said, that as his Learned
Friend's affidavits went int* particulars inculpatory of
the busband,he trusted that the'Court would order them
to be filed now. He said filed, not read; in order that
irthe Matter should come before their Lordships, the
affidavits on both sides might be read together.
Mr. HILL.-1 object to that, my Lords.
Mr. Justice BATLIT.—You have no wish to change'
the ctisfbdy in the mean time, Mr. Attorney?
• The ATTORNEY GENERAL—NO, my-Lord; for whilst
this hiatteris pending, the Lady is in the custody of
ffie tou rt.
'Mr. HILL suggested that no further affidavits should
be'allowed to be filed on the otherside.
Mr. Justice BATLEY he Court may allow affida-
vits to be made ; but whether they shall be used or not
in a question for the discretion of the Court. It will be
better to take the matter altogether than by piece-meal,
which we must do if we do not allow all affidavits that
are now necessary to be filed immediately.

Mr. HILL.--The Court, on Saturday, offered time to
Mr. Adolphus to file supplemental affidavits, and give
as time to answer them. It was understood that, after
that time had elapsed, no further affidavits were to be
sled on either side.

Lord -Tummtniw.—Ought not time to be allowed
for Sling further affidavits? Canwe administer justice
ltithout receiving all the information we can get on the
point we have to try?
blr. HlLL—Dues not the power given to your Lord,
ships; by the 56th of the late King, to try the•.e matters,.
ecimpel your Lordships to try them in the same maimm
'as you would a rule to shew cause?
Lord Tarminnaw—No we could not pretend to
.proleed so strictly on matters like the present as we do'
on ordinary rules to shew cause.
Mr. Justice 13AYLEY...4 think, Mr. Hill, that when 11
you ruin this matter over dispassionately in your own,
mind, you will find that the tele, ring this case to a pri-
tate tribunal is the very best course that you can pursue.
Lord TENT►aDatt—Are all the parties to the mono
now in Court? .

Mr. HlLL—They are, my Lord. •Oa What day shill
Alley attend again?
Lord TENTLRDEN—On Monday.
Mr. H ILL-11 your Lordship gives the other'side till
Monday to answer our affidavits,-you will perhaps give
us a day further to answer theirs.
Lord Tits TERDEN.—Next week we shel be very fully
occupied, and lam afraid we cannot. Let the matter
come on next Monday.
Mr. lIILL said, that as such was his Lordship's plea.
cute, his affidavits should be filed that night at the rising
of the Court ?
Mr. Justice BAILUT here addressed she Lady, and
asked her, ethethey she had any wish to change her
present place of residence ?
The Lady intimated drat she had not.
Mr. Hits.,—She has expressly sworn, my Lord, that
she has not.
The Lady and her friends then rose and left the Court.

MANSION-110148.
Yesterday Mr. &mein, one of those who werestimmoned to
'meted for the offence of detaining the six-legied o't. claimed by
Richmond, the black pugilist, appeared before theLosto MAYOR, in
obedience to the melee. Cribb, whose prowess naturally a acitet a
'comparison between himself and the strong animal that was the
•nohject of dispute, accompanied his black brother in arms, and
',cereal others of ;be fraternity were also present.
Richmond then stated, that be had won the sizieggeol ox fairly
'atilleraflle,alahoogh be had not stymied, and, that Benson, who
bad. possession of the beast, refused to deliver it contrary to the
uticks of the sante.
`the Loan blavoiedied Balloon why be did not abide by the
genetal practice intioeh eases, and deliver up the ex to the Inas
who threw. the highest number. Benson intimated to his Lordship
that he was in a. regular quandary, as there was another resolote
claimant of the oz. This person was a man named Jackson, Whe
damn for ilithmond ttie' raffle.
he Loa. Maras *sled' whether Jackson threw for Windt i
Beitscwend that' he did, sod for two others.
The Inansbloroa—You were at the raffle yourself, and oofor-
tonne. I /oppose?. .
Benson—Yes.- my'Lord, and very unfortunate; for patty
threateni me wit Wan amiss if I don't deliver op thine to bin,'
and the other swean he will level the law at me If I do ; se that'
my condition is really most unfortunate.
Richmond said that he had been most creptir informed thin
Jaiktoq tailored 43 for him, and that that ninnionlatig the bigh-
orn throw, the cm of emir* became his property:
Bettuinidmitted that Jackson threw for Richmond, sod that he
anew the highest number when the name of Rich mood was coiled.
The ox was, according to the rules of raffle, the property of the
highest thrower. As soon, however,
.as the raffle was over, and
it was admitted on all hands, that Riehntoodiad woe the ox, Jack-
son said, 'd No, no, it was for myself I threw tint time—l had DO
authority to throw for Richmond."
Richmond then cal a witness. who stated to the following
effect ;—" Jackson called
_lvan Richmond, 'bent this here hoe,
and said, Richmond, says 6i, there's going to be• throw at she tats
(st sidle) for a Sm, will you be la it ? I don't we, Infli web-
bet perhaps I can't wow, and my son is sick, and can't
come. 014. that's all one, says Jackson, I'll diiig.the tan foe you.
So Richmond :said, do, and they agreed uptan
The Loan Miro* said, that he could not deride upon the Merits
of the tafr;butlicettaltily appeared to him that' Richmond was
entitled to the ox, ar the Mellen throw was in his name. 'the pro-
priety of giving up the oz to Richmond, would. no doubt, be at
once seen and admitted by 'Benson., who, be had no doubt, would
:act accordingly. Ilia LordaLip recommended that the oz should
be disposed of accordingly.
liessoarni:l exhibited symptoms Of terror at the possible come-
tonnes of keeping or detaining the ox, and expressed his fears of
the shark, of Westminster-hall,who might come down upon Dins
for the value or the animal with the six legs. and they might both
be just thrown into Chancery together.
The Lose Marna—l date say Richmond will give you an
indemnity; and I think you have no reason to apprehend any
thing from the law.

Benson saki, that each party had offered him an indemnity, and
each had-threatened hint—so that he knew not in the World what
to do, whether to give up the sax to one or both of them, or to keep
it himself. .•
The Loan itlavoa again advised that the ox should bedelivered
up to Richmond, who was a housekeeper, and would be responsible
for the consequences of the act, he had no doubt, in comunction
'with a friend.

Mr. tionza-.;.1 advise you aU to bear in mind, that the mangier

.

This commutiicatii'm was not at all relished by the parties inte-
rested in the fate of the oz.
" The treadmill !" said one of them' " Olt, Lord!'
The' Loan Alaros then said to Llensom that the best-plan wolid
be, to give tip the ox to Richmond, and thus get rid of the anineol
:and the law together; for if One was troublesome, the other would
be ten time, more so.
A Alaster Vidor, who realties near LombaAl-street, brought to
the Justice Roam a forged Banknote for la which had been taken
