KING'S BENCH, Fn. S.

OF LORD BOWMAN V. ?IN PRO•

XI ZUNI, AT THE

•auzou O• TYR DUBLIN KVAILIO MAIL.

Mr. EDWARD Snort yesterday moved for a criminal
information against the Proprietors of this Journal, for
having published in their Paper two distinct paragraphs,
one on the 30th of June last, and the other on the 21st
of the month of July following. with references to the
Mayo Election, both tending, as he stated, to reflect
odium upon his Lordship's character, and to induce
him to commit a breach of the peace.
The CHUM JUSTICR inquired why this application
had not been made at an earlier period than the present,
the latest publication having appeared so far back as the
21st of July last ?
Mr. Scorn mentioned, that immediately after the elec.
tion his Lordship was obliged to join his regiment in
England, and had not heard of the paragraphs in
question for a length of time alter they had appeared.
Thu immediately after he heard of them he communi-
cated with his agent, and not having procured Counsel's
opinion until late in the last Term, he was consequently
unable to make the application at an earlier period.—The
Court granted a conditional order.

In our Paper of Wednesday last we gave a report of
the discussion which had taken place at Demerara, at
a Meeting of the inhabitants, on the proposition of the
Bishop, relative to the Instruction of the Negro popu-
lation. A Copy of the Memorial of the Proprietors of
Estates to the Governor upon this subject has since been
received. The obct of it appears to be to remove
any prejudice which may have been excited against the
Colonists by their conduct. They attribute to the
Bishop (of whom they speak respectfully) a want of
information as to what bad been voluntarily done for
the instruction of the slaves. They object to the inter-
vention of catechists (who it was proposed should visit
the slaves on week-bays), as to the introduction of a
third influential party between master and slave ; they
object to the instruction being given on a week-day,
till a fair trial of instruction on the Sabbath has been
made ; they object to the formation of a branch of the
Christian Knowledge Society, on the ground of the
diversity of religious opinions in the colony, and they
assert that the expense of the extended religious estab-
lishment will be more than they can .4 well bear in this
season of unexampled distress.' They express their
readiness to purchase and distribute among the slaves
such books as are recommended by the Parish Clergy.
Copies of the Memorial have been transmitted to the
Colonial Office and to the Bishop.

And evening's twilight darkens ince night ;
When gentler stars and planets shine alone.

And love thus beams from some ceershadoWed shrine.
NORTH WALSHAM WALSHAM AND DItHAM CANAL
COMPANY.

•
Tuesday, a General Meeting of the Shareholders in
this Company was held at the Crown and Anchor Ta-
vern, in the Strand, for the impose of electing Trea-
surers for the ensuing year.
Lewis Worse, Esq. being called to the Chair, Mat-
thew Attwond, Esq. M.P. and Sir Edward Lacon, Bt.
were severally proposed and re-elected as Treasurers for
the ensuing year. The Chairman then informed the
Shareholders that the important work, the Basin at
Antingham, had been completed at the expense of Lord
Suffield, 1112 owner of the soil. This had relieved the
Company from a heavy charge. The various claims
for loss of trade were in a train of settlement, and there
was not much to apprehend from the exorbitancy of,
individuals in this respect. One who the other day at
this Norwich Sessions claimed 3001. for as alleged loss
of trade, had 501. awarded to him by the Jury. A new
trader had started on the Canal to bring goods from
Norwich to Antingham. At the latter place granaries
and wharfs were erected for the accommodation of the
corn and coal trade, which was expected soon to com-
mence. In fact the concern had now every appearance
of success.

The Mareholderi seemed cheered and saddled by this statement.
They +returned thanks to the Chairman, and the Meeting separated.

LAW REPORT.

COURT OP CHANCERY, V. S.
01 WE KATI= OP LAST 000010010.
This was an application to the Court to make an order
for an allowance out of certain property for the main-
tenance of Ladyßoughtoreschildren. It appears that

some years ago this Lady, who was posseued of a large
fortune, married, and had by the marriage three chil-
dren. It was subsequently discovered, that owing to
some informality the marriage was not valid. A second
marriage was, therefore, contracted; but previous to it
a settlement of her property was made., which was

,
much leiadvantageous to her children than •khe former
one had been. This had given rise to some dis`pute, and
the matter was before the Court for the purpose of
having it settled. But in the mean time the property
was locked up, and there was nothing for the due main-
tenance of the children, and they were likely to be
. . .

seriously injured, unless eomethiag was done for them.
This application was therefore made, in order to prevent
their sustaining any injury while the suit was pending.
Mr. Ainarastue, who was on the other side, consented•
The Loop Cosaseet.t.os reque.ted the papers to be banded tip.'
previously to his making the order.
COURT OF ICING'S BENCH, Fraacaar 4.
Thomas CI oss. Robert Rose. Thomas Carri.ies.,
Barber, John Weldon Mead, William Watts, and Mary
Ann Scrles, who had been convicted on several indict-
mmts. for ea,rying on offensive trades in Maldeu-lane,
Giay's Inn-road, were this day brought up for judg-
ment, and entered into recognizances to come up again
to receive the judgment of the Court in the next Term,
unless that in the mean time they abated the nuisances.
ORDER OF COURT.

Mr. Justice Flatus, stated, for the information of the Bar, that
at the Sittings in Banco, after the present Term, the Court would
proceed to hear motions for new trials in the following order:—i it,
Causes in the Norfolk Circuit. idly, Oxford Circuit. idly, Wes-
tern Circuit; and lastly, for the Home Circuit.

!that the purchaser was implicated in the fraud. If there)
was fraud at all, the defendants had no right to hold
the vessel; and that tl ere was fraud *as quite
cheer, from the circumstance that only 700 dollars were,
to be paid down, .and that the purchasers bill at six
mopths wits to be taken for the remainder, and that by
the order of the Court, who had no doubt been imposed
upon by the consignees; there was another strong fact,
the Captain was paid 200 dollars to certify that it was
for the interest of all parties to sell the vessel.—Rule
discharged.
COURT OF EXCHRQUIR.

INDZIWILIMB A? LLOYDS, ale Mg 1111)100MT AND ISt
131BOLANCI asstramnes F MLLES 45$ OTESIS.
In this case Mr. BICERRITILTH moved for a commis-
Sinn on the pelt of the plaintiffs to examine several
witnesses about to leave this country, whose evidence
was necessary to prove their case on the .6.1811.
The
.proceedings arose from the loss of the ship
Conner, which was alleged by the defendants to have
been lost with her cargo, off the Cape de Verd Islands.
The ship had been insured with the plaintiffs, and they
now put in an affidavit that the above witnesses were
now in England—were usually residing at Lisbon, but
intended to depart this country before the trial. They
(the plaintiffs) would be able to prove by them, that the
said ship and cargo had not been lost as represented, but
that the cargo had been clandestinely unshipped at
Lisbon, and the ship wilfully and fraudulently sunk by
the owners.

Mr. FONSLAIMIIM for the defendant., contended that the afildairlt
was incomplete, as It did not properly describe the witnesses, or
shew that the goods were not unshipped at Lisbon for the purpose
of repairing the ship, as was actually the cue.
After some further argument the Court granted the coinanlasloo,
upon Mr. Bickerstetb undertaking to amend the defective parts of
the afidavit.

COLEMAN•STREET WARD ELECTION.

SECOND DAY.

Yesterday the Election was carried on with increased
spirit.
Every vote was sharply contested. Mr. T. Saun-
ders attended to protect the legal inure is of Mr. Elea-
den, and Mr. Griffiths was likewise armed with profes-
sional assistance.—At the close of the Polls the
numbers were....

For Mr. Bleaden 77
Mr. Grifitbs 41
Mr. BLZADIN, in returning thanks, expressed his gra-
tification, for this manifestation of the opinion of his
neighbours in his favour, and that the low state in which
he was placed on the Poll at the former -Election arose
not from any diminution of the good opinion his long
cervices had obtained for him from the inhabitants, but
from over security on the part of his friends, on circum-
stances cf the Election not depending urn the merits
or demerits of the case.
Mr. GRIFFITHS returned thanks to those friends who bad sap.
ported bim, but expressed kis intention of retiring, as the sense of
the Ward appeared at present to be against him.
The Poll, however, must be kept open a third day.
