GLASGOW, MAT 21.

DOI, Dm. CARTHEW. V. TRENTON.
The rule in this case for amending the suggestion on
the roll, for the purpose of having the cause tried in the
county of Somerset instead of Devon, was made abso-
lute, Sir James Scariest consenting, on the part of the
defendant, to the payment of all such additional costa
as the lessor of the plaint.ff might incur by taking the
witnesses to Bridgewater instead of Eimer.
EX PARTE VAN MITCHELL.
Mr. BRODRICK moved for a writ of Habeas Corpus,
directed to the keeper of Newgate, to bring up the body
of Sidney Job Van Butchell, who had been committed
to his custody, charged with the manslaughter of oie
William Archer. The object of the application was to
have the party admitted to bail.
The COURT. without bearing the whole of the alLia.

tit, granted the writ.
COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, MAT st.
KINGSTON AND ANOTHER O. HARGREAVIIS.
This was an action brought by the assignees of a bank-
rupt, to recover back a sum of money paid to the de-
fendant by the bankrupt after be had committed an act
of bankruptcy, but before the commission issued. The
act of.baakruptcy was committed in June, 1822. the
money was paid in August following, and the commis•
sion was issued in May, 1828. It was contended, on
behalf of the defendant, that the action did not lie, as
the payment was rendered valid by the 82d section of
the last Bankrupt Act, which directed that all payments
really and bone fide made, or which sbOuld thereafter
be made, by any bankrupt before the date of the issuing
of the Commission, it those payments were not such as
amounted to a fredulent preference, should be deemed
valid. To this the plaintiffs objected, that the transac•
tion in question having taken place before the passing
of this Act, the section did not apply ; or in other' words,
that it was merely a prospective and not a retrospective
enactment. A verdict was found for the plaintiffs, with
• leave from the Learned Judge to move to set it aside,

and enter a nonsnit.
Mr. Sergeant TADDY having obtained a role nisi for
a nonsuit,
Mr. Sergeant Wane showed cause against the role,
and argued that the Act was merely prospective.
Mr. Sergeant TADDY replied, and in support of the
Rule contended, that the Act was intended to have a

retrospective effect.
The COURT were of opinion that this section should
receive a retrospective construction, and consequently
that the action was not maintainable.—Rule absclute.
FOWLER V. CHATTZRTON.
The question in this case is also one upon the con-
struction of an Act of Parliament; namely, whether or
not the last Act, commonly called " Lord Tenterden's
Ad,* requiring promises which are given in evidence
to take a debt out of the statute of limitations, to be in'
%riling. includes promises made before the Act camel
into operation?
Mr. Sergeant ADAMS contended that it did, and Mr.
Sergeant, MBRIMEATHER that it did net.
The COURT said, that the question was at present
pending before the Court of King's Bench, and they
would therefore reserve their decision until they con-
ferred with their Learned Brethren on the subject, as it
was desirable that their Lordships-should be uniform ip '
their judgments.
ADMIRALTY COURT, May et. •
THR MAITLAND.
This was an application on behalf of a material-man
(i s. a person who provides *totes or materials for thel
service of the ship), calling upon the Court to direct the
payment of his demand cut of the proceeds of the yes.'
sel now in the registry. The circumstances of the case,
are shortly these-7 The vessel was chartered by Mr.'
Ferguson; the owner, who went to Calcutta, and is now I
resident there, for three voyages between England and
India, to Messrs. Fraser, Living, and Co. The freighter
was to supply pro,visions, and to keep the ship in
repair. charging these expenses upon the height. Messrs.
Davidson and Lupton supplied some ropes and provi-
sions for the ship; but after its return from the second'.
voyage, Fraser, Living, and Co. became bankrupt. The
freight was attached by the owner, in, consequence of
of which the freighter was unable to discharge the
claims upon him ;'whereupon actions were instituted in
this Court against tl.e ship for seamen's wages, and on
a bottomry bond ; the ship was subsequently wld, and
out of the proceeds the wages and the bond were paid,
which consequently fell upon the charterer instead a
the freighter.
The. Eines ADVOCATE, for the material-man, con.
tended that the surplus proceeds were liable to the de-
mands of his client, grounding his argument upon some
leases of lot eign ships, and arguing, that as theownerin
this case was resident in America, its circumstances were
analogous to those t.f the cases be bad quoted.
Dr. LUSUINOTON, on the part of the owner, observed,
that it was a settled point that material-men could not,
in ordinary cases, establish a lien on the vessel or the
proceeds: there was a waggon load of authorities to
that effect. The case was full of complicated transac•
tions between the parties, which were only fit tor another
Court to adjudicate.
Sir C. lioshason said, that this claim was introduced
only on an exception to the general practice and jut is-
diction of the Court. In the case of the American ship
John, a material man was allowed' to sue the proceeds
remaining in the registry ; but, it did not appear that
there were any disputable claims unadjusted in that
case, or that the " proceeds remaining " might not be,
undaimed by the foreign owner.. In the present case,
very complicated accounts were unadjusted between the
parties; it was therefore a case coming within the,cau-
tionaly prohihitiim of Lord Stowed, in his judgment in
the case cited ; and by venturing auy rash en:tell:new
in such a doubtful point, he should be creating greater
injury to the parties themselves than he could do them
service. It was his duty, therefore, to pronounce this
it wals a case in which he could not interim ; and be
should direct the proceeds to be paid out to the owner
He should not however give costs.

Mr. Adolphus said, he undetsmod be complained of haring been
assaulted by the defendant ea Monday last.
Mr. Coilison—Yes.
Mr. Adolphus—And this assault occurred in the city.
Mr. Collisno—lt did.
Mr. Adolphus (addressing the Alderman)-1 say you will do
your duty if you call on the defendant, after this statenwnt, v. find
bail to appear at the Sessions. The sureties are here ready. There
is • considerable feeling existing, but it is unnecessary to enter

into tie matter here.
It was understood on a previous day, that the complainant was,
a petty in a suit for cruelty and adultery, pending in the Kale&
saint Cant, and Mr. Alderman Warrustne seemed unwilling to
let the use pass off in this mysterious way. He therefore asked
complainant what he chatged Ur. Ituding with
Complainant—With giving me a violent thrashing.
Alderman—What, heat you with i flail?
Complainant--I meant a seem thumping.
Mr. Adolphus—When we come to plead the general issue else-
where, we shaU talk more at large about it.
As the complainant seemed as much averse to discussion as the
defendant, the Alderman disposed of the cue by taking the bail

offered.
Two lads, named Clunks Sneak and Henry Pike, were committed

Thomas Hall, an old Greenwich pensioner on crutches, was

Sarah Smith stated that she was married to the prisoner at Ber-

was brought on a warrant. and charged by William Yatrow,hefote
%Luau Beene and R. E. Damuntwe, Esqrs. with violently as-
tasking and beating hint.
William Yarrow, a journeyman weaver, a most pitiable looking
object, stated that be was in the itabit of dealing at the defendant's
shop for bread, and bad long entertained a suspicion that the bread
was deficient in weight. On Wednesday last be sent for a four-
pound loaf and a two-pound loaf, and weighed them in his own
scales ; he found the four pound loaf three ounces and the two
pound loaf two GIMPS deficient. He sent his boy bask with the
loaves, and the defendant refused to make any allowance, and in-
sisted they were full weight. He then went back with the bread
himself, and asked defendant to weigh it, which he did. They
both weighed down by the defendant's scales. He then told the
defendant that they were five ounces deficient, and asked him if his
alls. weight was correct ? The defendant told him not to touch it,
and said it was correct, and that be should not make any allowance.
He then asked the defendant to let him have his money back again,
Wt be might go to a shop where be could get his weight, but
was refiNsd. He told the defendant be thought it very bard to be
&NW oat of five ounces of bread, and should endeavour to seek
dm tereamsese elsewhere which the defendant had refused. The
iisishot then came round the counter and struck him violently on
the bead and face. He also took one of the loaves up, and struck
him with it, and then kicked hint out of the shop. He was so
terribly bruised that several leeches were applied, the bill for
which, with some medicine, amounted to ifs, which it was im-
possible for him to pay. He produced a certificate front Dr.
Chapman, Goldamithe-place, Ilackney-road. stating that be had
been seriously bruised and much injured in the bead, so is to be in-
capable of working). When the defendant kicked hint out of the
shop several persons passing by thought he had stolen the bread,
and said it served him right, until they found out the truth of it.
Previous to taking out the warrant be sent his wife to the defendant
to request payment for the doctor's bill; be told his wife, if she
didn't get out of the shop, be would serve her the same,and pushed
her out by the shoulders, she et the same time being in a very weak
stare, having just recovered flow a long illness.
Mr. Blows said it was a moat gross outrage,as far as the plain-
tiff had stated, but no doubt the defendant could rebut some portion
of it.—The defendant, with great assurance, laughed at the charge,
and said he never struck the plaintiff at all; and as for the scales,
to be sure they bad rather the draught in his favour, and, in fact.
it would not answer his purpose to sell his bread without such
draught.
Mt. Baum—lt is the most impudent thing I over met with for
a man to keep a public shop for the sale of the very staff of life,
under pretence of selling it at a reduced price, and, not contest
with defrauding the public by cheating them in the weight, but
when told of it by is pour man, who, by his appearance,Gue knows,
you bad more Deed give him five ounces of bread than cheat him of
it, you violently beat sod ill treat him. Your conduct has been
most brutal and disgraceful, and I hope it will be made public as a

&c. of the three preceding days, and afforded most excellent sport.
The match between The Deer and Lord Anson 's Miracle filly was.
won to a canter by the former—six to four on him. Kildere.and
Lancastrian were better matched, the former winning by half all
length only.—six to four on the loser. The race between the two

be got off.
The 10 Sovereign Sweepstakes, for all ages, was by far the best
race of the day, Father Long Legs and Carthusian disputing the
ground with extreme severity, the former winning by a neck only;
