'action brought by the plaintiff, a
noach-sintier, to recover from the celebrated amateur
offathhon 4548, the price charged for a most :plea.
did and elegant eurricle, and the etceteras belonging]
to A.
Mr. SCARLET,' ...•4 My Lord, this is an action
a coach-maker's bill, which is long, and will tab
some time ; its amount is upwards of 4500, and it
is for the building of a cunicle, which,-when the
items are gone into, will appear to be a rare avis, a
thing unequalled both for
,taste and splendour, and
which was allowed by all who had seem it, to display
at once the brilliant taste of the Gentleman who or-
dered it, and the ingenuity of the tradesman who
carried the order into execution.. All that now re-
mained to do, to complete the transaction, was to
have the bill settled."
Mr. Toretrioag My Lord, we have no wish, en•
cept that the plaintiff should have all the money
to which he is entitled ; my client is ready to refits'
the whole subject, and to shrw that we have no wish
to delay the plaintiff in his just claim, to agree to a
lodgment without the usual delay of an award.—
Your Lordship should know that we have already
paid 4248."
Mr. SCARLaTT--" My Lord, the plaintiff is at
present in confinement for debt, and cannot get re-
leased till he is paid his bill by the defendant."
Mr. Terms ••'‘ Your Lordship will see we have
already paid 4248: the plaintiff's demand is upwatds
of 4500 ; a large sum for a cyrricle only."
Mr. SCARLETTI4 You have not paid for half the
pleasure you have received in riding about in this
splendid vehicle, and the universal admiration it has
excited."
Lord ELLEYBOROL/011-4( Will you, Mr. Scarlett,
or will you not, accept the defendant's offer, by
which you will get your money sooner than in any
other way i"
Mr. Scatti.trri My Lord, we are always happy
to adopt any suggestion falling from your Lordship "
A verdict was then entered for the plaintiff for
4300, subject to a reference.
SANVIANK v. TriOMAS.
The plaintiff is a slater at Islington, and has a ton
in. the same buNiness residing in St. George's Fields,
to whom the defendant had sold a cargo of slates, he
- being the master of a small vessel trading on the coast.
The defendant, however, wished for the additional
security of the father, butt the son constantly said that
be only was concerned in the transaction. After the
delivery of the cargo, however, the defendant thought
fit to arrest the plaintiff, the father; for the value, by
wh;ch an expenhe of £l3 wa. incurred. When the
cause castle on to be tried, the defendant (then the
plaintiff) adMitted that lie was mistaken, and was,
consequently, non suited. This action for a malicious
arrest was therefore now brought to recover damages,
and the Jury gave the plaintiff 435.
COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, JUNE 11.

NEWLAND AND Ci'FFIN V. ULL.
This was an issue directed by the LORD CHANCRL•
Lea, to try whether we defendant was a trader under
the Bankrupt Laws ? It appeared by the evidence
that the defendant, who had been formerly in the
Army, and since a Captain in the Local Sussex Mi.
144, had, during a residence of about two years at
Fishbouin, near Chichester, become a dealer in pigs,
by frequently buying those animals at the market,
and elsewhere, and selling them again to divers per.
tons, sot as a matter of favour, but for the sake of pro.
fit, and also by. having some of them cut up into pork,
and sold in joints. On die evidence being given,
Sir V. Gina; Lid it down as law, that if persons,
be their situation what it may, become dealers in any
commodity for the sake of profit, they rendered them-
selves liable to the Bankrupt Laws ; that the extent
of trading is immaterial ; and that, its in this case,
more pigs had been proved to be kept than were ne-4
cetiary for the ordinary consumption of the defendant
and his family, and what were sold were not merely
the refuse of what could not be so consumed;—such.
dealing rendered the defendant a trader.
The Jury expressed themselves satisfied, and re.
turned their verdict, supporting the Commission,
tritheut quitting the Jury box.

Friday seanight, IV;lawn Evans, convicted of
forging bills, was executed at Ayr.. He behaved with
becoming resignation. His fate excited much com-
miseration.
Last weak two farmers applied to the Magistrates.'
at an adjourned Sessions for the county of Devon, to'
°be discharged as insolvent debtors ; but in conse.
quence of having removed their property, to prevent
their landlords Irom recovering the rent due, they
.were remanded to prison, where they are to remain
ipr five years, the time fixed by the Act.
Saturday eight, a Serjeant and Corporal, lately
belonging to die 7th V-.reran Battalion, had some
dispute at the Red House, Battersea, when the Cur.
pnral, in a fit of Irenzy, took up a knife and plunged
it into the body of the Serjeant, inflicting a most
desperate wound, *wllich was tied up, whilst he was
carried on a shutter to the Duke of York's Hospital.
'The Corporal is in custody.
A considerable degree of curiosity bag been ea.
cited by die circumstance of a soldier having been
brought on shore at Portsmouth, from a transport,
on Monday week, who is said to have been in a state
of total suspension from all corporal powers for more
than four months past. Many Officers and others
were admitted to see this extraordinary phenomenon
in nature, but in consequence of the numerous appli.
cations, the man was removed to Hilsea, on Wed.
:Imlay, where he now remains. Several experiments
in electricity have been made on his person, and many
other methods have been tried to restore animation,
but without effect. The feet and one of the arms
appear to be much contracted, but the respiration is,
s,a,i to be perfectly tegular, and apparently without
allficulty.
A wolf, or wolf-dog, which, within the last three
or four weeks, has destroyed nearly throe score sheep
belonging to the (ooks in the vicinity of Brighton,
and which has contrived to escape every snare set to
entrap him, occasioned a pack of foi.hoands to be
brought to Stanmer on Wednesday, is the hope of
capturing the offender. The dogs threw off about
aloe o'clock, but without success.
