COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, NOVEMBER el.

Mr. Serjeant LENS, in the case of Davis and others,
assignees of Bourchier against Henley, moved for a
Rule to shew cause why the warrant of attorney ob-
tained in the action should not be set aside, it having
been obtained under the following circumstances:—
A person named John Hopwood repaired to Paris,
and had an interview with the defendant in the ac-
tion, who resided in the Italian Boulevards : he told
him that the object of his visit was to execute a war-
rant, which the Marshal of the King's Bench had ob-
tained from Lord Castlereagh, and which required
that the French police should immediately bring
over the individual, unless he executed to the said

Hopwood a warrantor attorney in the partidular ac-
tion upon which he applied to him. The Gentleman
becoming alarmed at this order of Lord Castlereagh,
complied with the demand, and when Hopwood put
the warrant of attorney in his pocket, he then said,
.he was sorry to inform him that the other action
pending must also be settled, and that no settlement
but cash would answer for it: he added, that if this
were not done, the French police must be immedi-
ately called in to execute Lord Castlereagh's order.
The Gentleman • becoming again frightened at this
formidable threat, delivered up his gold chronometer
and chain and seals, worth above £lOO, and £lOO in
cash, to Hopwood, who, after declaring he was satis-
fied, observed, that if his terms had not been com-
plied with, the gens d'armes were without, ready to
be called in to aid the execution of the warrant. The
Rule to shew cause was granted.

INSOLVENT COURT, DUBLIN, NOVEMBER 9.

IREDERICK EDWARD JONES, ESQ. AN INSOLVENT.

. _
This unhappy Gentleman, who can trace hil lineage
to many generations back—who, when he entered
upon life, had an estate of 1:2500 a-year, and £lO,OOO
in the Bank of Ireland—who had been the munifi-
cent and liberal caterer of public amusements for the
last twenty years—who had raised the character of
the Drama, and had been the patron of merit, and
founder of the fame and fortunes of all the performers
who have figured upon our stage during several years
past, was this day brought up in the humble charac-
ter of an insolvent. There was no opposition, and the
Learned Commissioner (Mr. BUR rtowEs), in ordering
his discharge, observed, with much feeling, that Mr.
Jones's case was indeed one of great magnitude, and
of extreme peculiarity ; but at the same time it was
one to which he felt himself justified in extending
the merciful jurisdiction of the Court. 'faking into
consideration who Mr. Jones was—the peculiar na-
ture of his transactions with the Public—and the
calamities thereby brought on himself and his fa-
mily—he (the Commissioner) felt much pleasure in
affording to Mr. Jones a protection to his person.
He had certainly come before the Court with a
load of debt, which, in ordinary cases, would cause
him to hesitate; but aware that his present un-
happy situation was brought about by causes of which
he could have had no foresight, and over which he
could have no controul, he (Mr. BtiunowEs) was
happy in having it in his power to extend to him the
full benefit of the Act.

Mr. Jones, after stating that he had, four years ago,
voluntarily, and without any solicitation from his cre-
ditors, vested the whole of his property in the hands
of trustees, respectfully bowed to the Court and wiih-
drew,receiving the gratulations of his friends in Court.

THE FUNDS.

STOCK EXCHANGE, ONE O'CLOCK.

As the Account approaches, the confidence of the
speculators for a fall appears visibly to decline, and
their efforts against the natural tendency of the Funds
to attain a higher price, are made with all the feeble-
ness of disappointment and despondency. Their
views and expectations must have been greatly dis-
concerted by the astonishing firmness which the market
has displayed, beneath the pressure of a weight of
Stock which has been thrown upon it, to raise money
for the purpose of affording immediate assistance to
the house whose reported failure we noticed yesterday.
No less a sum than £t:50,000 has, we understand,
been remitted to it in the course of this week, which
has all been raised by the sale of Stock, and yet the
price is the same and the appearance better to-day
than it has been for several days past. The principal
business now doing is that of making up the Ac-
counts; a few days will terminate the contest, and
prove which of the parties have entertained the most
correct views of the nature of British Public Credit.—
