consideration of the sum of 651.paidro hiM by defendant,
released. the latter hobs all claims and demands
ilihatsoever, from the beginning of the world until
the day of ;he date of the release. This release haying
executed before' the bill was endorsed to the
plaintiff, it was submitted that the plaintiff stood in
Hale's shoes, and must be bound by it, Inasmuch as
Hale would be stopped thereby from maintaining an
action on the bill.

The LORD Cam Justice said, that in order to bind
the plaintiff, it was to be "hewn that he was privy ib
Ike release. - -

Mr. BuouottAss said he could prove this fact only by
the testimony of Hale, litho was not in attendance, per,
scant to his subpoena.
The LORD CHIRP JUSTICE said, that as the case stood,
the plaintiff was to be considered as a boxa.fide holdet
of the bill for valuable consideration, and therefore
entitled to a verdict.

Verdict fur the plaintiff—Damages One Hundred
and Two Pounds, including interest.

Theoirroassay-Gesianac stated this to be an action
brougfit against the defendants for neglecting to present
a bill of exchange for acceptance. The bill was drawn
by Hine and Holdsworth, of Dartmouth, bankers, for
4501. payable thirty days after date, on Messrs. Fry
and Chapman, of 'London. The bill was sent to the
bank of the defendants, at Plymouth, on the 10th
of March, 1824, with orders to forward it forthwith
London for acceptance. The defendants delayed
wading it to. London until the 22d of March. In the
'mean time Hine and Holdsworth had failed, and in
consequence of that failure, Messrs. Fry and Chapman
refused to accept this bill, which was originally given to'
the plaintiff Id consideration of a bill of ezhange of
SOW. of Pitcairn and Co. which Hine end Holdsworth
bad discounted for him. He received with it 501. in cash.
Mr. P. PoLioce, for the defendant, said 'they re.
eeived the bill on 10th March, and intended to send it
to London for acceptance by a private hand, bat the
party by.whom they seat it did not arrive in London
pistil the 90th instant.
The Jury found for the plaintiff—Damages 4.501.

_ CONSISTORY COURT, MAY 50.
110111IRTS AgAINST /102iRTS.
Alf was a suit for restitution of conjugal rcr:s,,,
Weed by Sarah Ann Roberts, against Dr. R
husband. The admission of the libel was now
''he marriage was confessed, and the articles
the usual tenour, except one„-in which it was p.
that in consequence of some difference between
fatties, Mis. Roberts had left her husband's house,
that Dr. Roberts now refused to receive her back, not-
withstaadiog her earnest entreaties.
Dr. Pwri,Lismaz, for Dr. Roberts, who gave a Deg*.
tire issue to the libel, contended that he ought to have
an opportunity of interrogating the witnesses-on this
article, in order to explain to the Court the. circum-
stances of the occurrence.

The Collar were of opinion that this request could
,not be complied with according to toms, but gave the
party time till the first day of neat Term to assert a
responsive allegation.

BARROW O. RANSOM

This was a suit for defamation, instituted by Mrs.
Mary Barrow, against Mr. Ramsden of Brighton. The
libel in this case was opposed on the ground that the
words were spoken without the jurisdiction of the Court.
It was ordered to stand over till next Term ; and Sir
C. Rosman promised to lo3k into authorities in the
mean time, to ascertain whether the point had ever been
mooted and decided before.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT.

lilac law:, a young man of the Jewish persuasion,
came up to be heard on his petitioa.
Mr. Hums said, that be held a brief to oppose the
insolvent's applicatiou,on behalf of Mr. Child Levy, btu,

on looking it over, he had told his client that he (nr.l
Heath) cbnsidered that the optsodtion would be tialless ;1
thegforehe should withdraw it. 1 •
Mr. Walter Owen Hills, a creditor for 1101. 'who
appeared in pt opria persona, then examined the insolvent
as to the manner in which he kept his accounts, mid
desired him to assign the cause why his books had not
been delivered up for the inspection of his creditors,
pursuant to Act of Parliament?
The insolvent said that he kept no regular books; his
largest was only a shilling one, and sometimesthey only
cost threepence; and the memorandums they con-1
tained relative to his purchases and sales were in the
Hebrew tongue.
Comulatiosaa—That is a matter of no signification.
They ought to be delivered up, in whatever language
they may be. It was impossible be could obtain his dis-
charge until he had complied with the terms of the Act.
Insolvent.—They are only little books in Hebrew-
-4i laugh.)
His Learned Counsel (Mr. Coosa) said, that if they
strere.Greek they ought to be given up, and until they
were it was impossible for him to relieve him.

The Coon? then remanded the Insolvent situ die,
ordering that after the books were filed, seven days
notice of his next application should be given to the,
opposing creditor.
Jeresniah Clayton was opposed by Mr. POLLOCK. on
behalf of Mr. Samuel Richard,.
it appeared that upon the opposing creditor, arrest
ing the insolvent in October last, he pot in , bail and
pleaded non assonprit to the action, and thereby drove:
the plaintiff 'to trial, by which he incurred costs to the.
amount of 441. his debt being only SM. 4,. 6d. To

_ - upon
thanteent was teSponsible for the -acssWelits Attorney,
:and sentenced him to be confined within the walls of
the prison for five calendar months, for putting his cre.
editor terveratious expenses.
Charles Cooper, a respectable looking man, residing
it Guildford, was opposed by gr. Por.t.ocx, for John
Nash, ameditor for Mk St. and costs 901. incuued by
an action, to recover the same.
Tfselosol*Mit was subjected ma rigid examination ak
to who bra detaining creditor (Tkmothy Smith) sea...mid
rho*, heceminseted a debt wish hiss.

He stated that he formerly lived in the Kest Rosid,l
and the debt arose from his buying a gorse of him two'
years ago in Smithfield, for pl.l. 115.6 d. which was
elraerpfeed mead, but it died within a isoodeiged h
4ettai
never paid for it. The last time Ire saw Stradi • J
'Months ago, at the same mad*, *bent dispute '
lied he (insolvent) said, if be would deduct 101. he w
pay the difference.which was.aot agreed to. He swore pS
.
.0/dvely that be owed the mostartaad that he did not Imola,
where to find Smith. So fasfrom the arrest being collu-
sive on the day it happened he had been to London
on business, and had taken his place back to Guildford ;
but on stopping at the Elephant and Castle, a Sheriff's
officer arrested his progress, and he, was kept in a
lock-up-house several days before be went to prison.—,
There was no necessity to seek a collusive arrest, be-
cause at that time his present opposing creditor had
costesseacedproceedings against him.
' Upon the Court expressing a wish to see the detain-
ing-creditor, but, by the evidence of Mr. Galsworthy,
an attorney, be could not be found, according to the
description in the affidavit of debt.
Mr. Coots used several ingenious arguments to chew
that the conduct of the insolvent throughout was such
as in his mind to obliterate the idea of a fictitious debt
or collusive arrest.

The COURT however, ordered the insolvent to pro-
duce Mr. Smith, and for that purpose he was remanded
to his former custody.

ADMIRALTY SESSIONS, MAY SO.
MANSLAUGHTER.
Hannibal Aforchaat was indicted for the manslaughter
or Robert Gates, on the 25th of March last, when off the
coast of Holland, in a fishing vessel named the Gratitude,
Mr. ANDREW* meted the cum.—The deceased was a.
boy of dirty habits, and, as a puni‘hment, was drenched
with water. On one occasion the boy resisted, when
the prisoner said—os If you don't submit, I'll smash yoe:'
He then took up the tub and threw it oirthe boy; blood
flowed from his month; and he died in about sight days.
Two Surgeons were esissuided. wino
Mr. Bum VAUGHAN stopped the case. The evdence
was not =Stint to shew that the prisoner, was the
cinse of the death of the deceased, which was necessary
in order to nuke out the charge.
The Jury immediately Acquitted the prisoner.
Mr. erm - told

The Jury conferred together for abotit twenty
nntei' and then delivered their opinion to the effect
that the prisoner had been guilty of negligende in
leaving the valve, and going on board the United
Kingdom, though. they thought the valve was open,
and the works going on rightly at the time he left, a
verdict of Manslaughter was then recorded.
Lord Srowsr.t. said, the offence was a lotions one;
but as this was a new caw, and as the prisoner bad al.
ready suffered considerable imprisonment, he would
only be required to enter into his own recognizances
to appear when called open.
There being no other cases for trial, the Jeron in
Waiting were discharged, and the Court broke op.
LONDON SESSIONS, MAI 50.

TAE LICRNSinG SYSTEM.
Yesterday these Sessions were held before the Lord
Mayor, the Recorder, and Aldermen Sir James Sbaw,
Ansley, Sir C. S. Hunter, Waithmans and Sir P. Laurie.
Mr. EDWARD Qaus said. that he had an application
to make upon the part of Mr. Thomas Cmley, the pro•
prietor of a chop-house in Throgniorton-sueet: The
subject had been postponed on the last licensing day in
consequence of some informality. The granting of the
licence, it was further stated, would not have the effect
of inc ape umber of jahlic-houses, as a house'
called•daft DYRkaftrty whiff was licensed, had been
pulled dmellir • •
. Mew PIPALVINI trieLba hol sa objection to ,fir,
fthichlrould put an end to, the application, at least for
the present. He then quoted the Sd of Gee. IV. sect.
17, which stated thatcertain notices were at certain in-
tervals to be affixed to the church door of the parish,
stating the application, and, thereto of the house applied
for, three months previous to the application.
Mr. Qum contended, that the Section of the Act' id
not relate to the City of London.
The Cover, after some deliberation, decided that the
section requiring the notices must betaken to extend to
London as well as to other places, and of course nega-
'tired the application.
Mr. Qms—Then we are to consider the rejection to
arise merely from our not having affixed the notices,
not from any judgment upon the merits of the case.
The Cover —Certainly ; in consequence of not having
afed the notices. The Court has the power to graut
the licence if the proper forms had been attended to.

THE THAMES TUNNEL—The raft directed by Mr.
BRUNEL was'yesterday sunk at low water, and on its
reaching the bed of the river, and it being ascertained
that it was immediately over the spot where the louts-,
dation took place, a quantity of clay and gravel. to
increase the compression, was thrown over it. The
pumps were set to work at two o'clock; andso convinced,
are the Gentlemen connected with the undertaking of
its ultimate success, that while there last evening, whiut-
