TILE SHIP AURORA.

In this case a ship's register was delivered up by
the Captain of the vessel to a party making advances
for repairs done and performed to her in consequence
of darnap,es sustained at'sea. The Captain drew on
tie owners for the amount, or part of the amount of
the charges, and payment was refused by them of
the Captain's bill. This was an application to the
Court to grant an attachment against the patty hold-
log the ship's certificate of registry, so deposited with
the lender of the monies expended in repairs by way
of security, and by him refused to be delivered up
until repayment of his disbursements. It was con-
tended on the one hand, by Dr. Lust:lwo-cos, that
the master ought to have taken up such monies in
the regular way, upon bottomry ; but that he had no
right to deliver up his ship's register, nor the lender
of the cash to detain it. Dr. JENNER, on the other
side, maintained that the party advancing the money
was entitled to withhold the register, by way of lien
upon the owners for his advances.
Lord STOWELL said, as this was a new case, he
Could take some time to consider it.

WINCTIESTETt, AUGUST 1.

'The Commission for this County was opened in
the usual way on Monday evening by Mr. Baron
feitAitAm and Mr. Justice BEsr ; and on the follow-
ing after Divine Service, both Courts proceeded
to business. On the crown side the number of pri-
soners is unusually small; there are only forty-eight
in the Calendar, and none of them charged with any
crime of marked atrocity.
The following prisoners pleaded guilty to the minor
ciffctice of having forged notes in their possession,
which subjects them to transportation for I t years :
William Goldson, aged 36 ; Affred Pink, aged 30 ;
John Clark, aged 56 ; and Sarah Prince, aged V.

Malachi Thornton, aged 27 ; Andrew Smith, aged
23.; John Walsh, aged 23 ;• John Galvin, aged 32 ;
and John Woodnot, alias Brooks, aged 22, soldiers,
were capitally indicted with having, on the morning
of the 23d of April last, at the Parish of Portsea,
Pcirtsmouth, feloniously and burglariously broken ,
and entered the dwelling-house of Captain James
Ilearney Whire, and stolen therein a large quantity
of dollars, Bank-notes, silver, plate, wearing apparel,
&c. his property.
It appeared- from the evidence of the prosecutor,
Captain White, his servant, and others, that on the
22d of April he left London for Portsmouth, taking
with him the property in question. On arriving at
his house, it was lodged in the parlour, where a tem-
porary bed was erected for the Captain ; the room
had a bow window, and was fronting the street, so
that any person might have seen the property, and
what was passing within. On Captain White's
a‘raking nest morning, he found the room in the
greatest confusion, and his gold watch and seals,
which he had placed on the escrutoire, gone, toge-
ther with the other articles. The door, which shut
by a spring, was open, some handkerchiefs having
got entangled under it. On searching the house, the
scollery-window was discovered to be open, through
which the thieves had effected their entrance. An
oyster knife, which was sworn to have been in the
scullery on the family going to bed, was found in the,
parlour, but for what purpose it was removed is not
known. A female, who slept in the upper part of the
house, stated she heard a noise about one o'clock in
the morning.
In consequence of information received, Captain
White, with two officers, on the 27th of April, re-
paired to Cosham, and while sitting in an inn saw
thprisoner Thoptop pass. lie was immediately
