The Act relating to Juries, which bas recently been
brought into operation, renders all lodgers liable to
serve, who pay a rent or not less than
.20U alear. This
enactment has greatly increased the number of effective
Jurors in the City of London, as it includes merchants
and brokers who rent warehouses or counting houses,
although they may reside, as many do, at the west end
of the town, or at their counting houses. This new
regulation proved very unacceptable to the gentlemen
about 'Change, who came to the Old Bailey Sessions
on Thursday most unwillingly. The advantage, how-
ever, of thus bringing into the service of the public the
time and abilities of intelligent and ready men of busi-
ness has been already apparent.
ALLEGED MURDilt.—The inquest has nut yet been
held on the body of the unfortunate woman alluded to
in our Union hall report of Friday. The delay, it is
said, arises from the Coroner being absent at a distant
part of the countt7. The deceased woman had been
.much addicted to drinking. and she was intoxicated the
day on whith it is_allegeatakte was murdet ed. Her body
has been opened and enjoined by several medical men,
and it is their opinion that she did not die from the
blows or kicks she might have received, but that she
expired in a fit, produced by escessive dripkin4.

TM AaaltiNEis OP LLOYD V. TROSCOTr.
This who an action broughs by the plaintiffs, who are
the assignees of Lloyd; a bankrupt, against the defend-
ant, for the recovery of 911. iSs. 93. the bilaece,of as
account due by the defendant to the bankrupt, Lloyd;
for
,goodi sold and delivered. k appeared by the evi-
dence of the bankrupt that he was a timber merchant,
ind that he was in the habit of supplying the elegyd ant
with all descriptions of articles in his line ; th-4 hi had
considerable dealinge.with him to the am•oint of several
htindred rounds, and that prey ion -ly to his bet.
coming a bankrupt, in November, 1523, the defendant
was indebted to him in a balance of accouir., in a sum. of
911. 13s. 9d.
The bankrupt was cro<sexaMined at considerable
length by Mr. ABRAHAIiS. on the part of the de-
fendant; and it came out on hi, cross-examination, that
he and Truscott were in the habit of having nnmerous
dealings, and of mutually obliging each other, by the
temporary loans of money, and other accomoiodation ;
and that in the September or October previnusto his
bankruptcy, be got a friend of his (a .Mr. Schaffeld) to
discount for him two bills of the def -nd tiler, one for
2001. and the other for 106/. 16s. However, pievious
to the bills being discounted, Schofield was wnr.4, Nis to
learn what provision there would be made for Abe pay-
ment of them. Truscott. the defendant, having' claim
on the Board of Ordnance for 4461. 55., it was agreed
upon at a subsequent meeting that this order was to be
handed over to Lloyd, to hand to Sch-)field, to provide
payment for the bills, and the balance watttf.le re-
turned to Truscott; but in consequente of i6i'subse-
quent bankruptcy of Lloyd, and the fact of his owing
Schofield money, Schofield kept the balance of the
order en the B card of Ordnance, and applied it to the
credit of Lloyd's, the bankrupt's account,. at the same
time giving Truscott a guarantee against any Claim of
the assignees of Lloyd. It was endeavoured to beshown,
on the part of the defendant, that the balance remaining
out of the order of the Board of Ordnance, after' paying
the two bills, went as a set-off against the balance of
account now claimed by the assignees of the bankruptcy,
but this was expressly contradicted by the bankrupt,
who swore, that it was agreed upon by the arrange-
ment entered into, on getting the order from Truscott,
that Schofield was, after paying the two bills (one for
2601., and theother for 106/.165.), to refund the balance
to Truscott, the defendant ; and as a corroborative cir-
cumstance of it, he stated that they endeavoured to
prevail on the Board of Ordnance to divide the order—
' that was, to accept two orders, one for the amount of
the bills, and the other for the difference, which they
refused.

Mr. Schofield was produced, who being asked by the plaintiff's
Counsel, whether he had given a guarantee to the defendant to pro-
tect him against any claim of the assignees of the bankrupt, ad-
mitted that he signed some paper to that effect.
Defendant's Counsel observed, that that admission settled the
question, and he would not presume any longer.
The StOONDA RIC said, that he would not trouble the Jury with
any observations, except to say that he entirely apprOfed- of the
choke which Mr. Schofield made of keeping the balance of the
order, in preference of proving the amount of his debt on the
bankrupt's estate.—(A laugh.)
' The Jury immediately found a verdict for they atilt*lS , for
. .
011.155. ltd. and cost.
Messrs. W. and R. F. Bell, wharfingen, of Irongate, covered
of the St. lEatbarine's ek Company 9uvoS. as a cotypinpation for
the removal of thefr ;entities, &c. foe the intended. new ;lock. The
original claim was 3 ,8116/.
It was incidental y listed, during the trial, that; claim, of about
14,0001. made by rs. Suds and Sim', brewps,,, . within a
few days, been drefmined by arbitrators, who And.; ;warded

FIRES.

Yerekday morning, between one and two o'clock, the
inhabitants of S. Mary Axe were slat mei by cries of
.4 Fire," which had suddenly broken out in tne house
No. 21-, occupied by a respectable widow Lady, natrAcl
Gonne. It was :flea discovered by the watchman, and
appeared to have c-zmmenced on the sec:•nd fluor. The
lives of 1: ur young men, who s!ept in the attics, were
exposed -to imminent risk. Some of the watchmen
rushed up through clouds of smoke, in order to arouse
those poor devoted beings ; hut on g soling the seco rd
landing, it was ascertained that the staircase leading to
their apartments had fallen in, and considerable appre-
hensions ss e e entertained for their safety. They were
at length aroused- by the shouting of the people in the
streets, and they soon after attempted to effect their
retreat downwards, but the attempt was hopeless, for
the stairs were now wholly consumed, and the flames
wereaapldly closing around them. la this dilemma,
they bethought them of georgic out on the roof, acid
after some exertions they forced the attic window, which
was fastened, and escaped to the leads, but not without
haying been seriously °tuned on the hands and arms.
The upper part of the house, however, was totally con-
mimed, and the rear of the next partially injured.
Another fire broke out between eight and nine on
Saturday night, at the house of Mr. Goodrich, cabinet-
maker, N 0.28, Old 'Change. It, commenced in the
workshop at the rear of the premises, which are of con
siderable extent. From the quantity of light timber on
the spot, the flames made a rapid and terrific progress,
and but for the peculiar construction of the building,
which was formerly occupied by a sugar-baker, and
protected by strong party walls, the adjoiniirg houses
must have shared in the conflagration. The workshop,
which contained a great quantity of valuable property,
was completely destroyed.
*Friday morning, the family of John Fitzgerald, Esq.
of Portland-place, were thrown into the greatest alarm
by the ay of " fire" from the nursery. The parish
eogioe and several others soon arrived on the spot, and
having a good supply of water, the games were soon
• subdued. The fire originated in consequence of a
lighted candle having been placed on the window seat,
and which coming in contact wit► the curtains, set them
on 6re. Considerable injury was done to the house and
property.
