Mr. MIMI begged leave to wituiraw a mi.ti..n, if
which he had vireo notice, th t the COUlt :tmid grant
a certain bum of money in aid of the coniributionb n .or
ratting for the benefit of the SpitalfielJs weavers. His
!email for withdrawing the motion o a,. the occurrence
of riots which had been committed by that body of

persons.
• Mr. GALLOWAY, for one, gave his assent to the will--
draw/al of the motion. lie certainly thought that the
Court ought to be alive to the buffetings of the indir-.
Kiwis past of the community, but it a ,y body of people
so far mistook their own interests a. to engage in acts of
violence as a means of witainitig redress, it WAS his opi.
nines that they ou4ht to be taught that eat Coon dis-
co•inte naoced such a cOur a ut pit ceeding. He hoped the
course which the' Court a ould adopt on th►s occasion
would apes me AS a salutary lesson to the worki•.g ci asses
of the community ; it would, he trusted, make them un-
derstand that they never could obtain red: css by com-
mitting acts of violence or destroying the pioferty of
individuals; and that whenever they reward to such
conduct. they
.did themselves the greatest nitschiet.
The Loan MAIMIL expressed hi. concurience iu what
had tallest fr.,m Mr. Galloway. Tne di-cses which had
prevailed for the last six months among the silk weavers
bad been the occasion of subscriptions being raised to
relive it. Very large sums of money had been trans-
mitted through his hands for the relief of the Sputal.
bells weavers; and even on the very day when those
out breaking: which had lately taken place commenced,
MX was sent to him by certain individuals its the
city of Durham. He mentioned this et; cumstance
in confirmation of what had just be n stated by Mr.
Galloway. It was very desirable that tha• Corp ration
and every public body should come tor ward with as. •
sistance, When misfortune and distress overtot•k the in.
dustrious artisan; at the same time they ought t di
counts4ance him and leave him to his own means,when
he took the law into his own hands, and attempted to
destroy the very Means by w hich he might obt 4in for the
future a livelihood for himself and his family. He would
inform the Court of a circumstance which had been men.
tinned to him, and which he had very g•sod reasons fur
believing—namely, that many of those Intim which
were destroyed on Tuesday night were actu ally pro.
doting to the owners from 251. to 28s. a week, thus of
fording them the means of a competent maintenance.
He theri fore thought that the cute ages which had b• en
committed by the Spital6elds stemless constituted a
most seri..us offence.

Mr. Searsesusom said be doubted the fact that so much as front
lie. to 28s. was earned by journeymen in the present deresmot
awe of the ►ilk trade.
The Lean Mait►e informed the Ceurt that be bad received his
loturination from a vary ea; entive silk irtanufortut.r.
Mr. Ciatanwav said, that the Court did not proses. eight, any
opinion whether the silk weaver was overpaid or underpaid. but it
declared that violence was nut the proper meant of obtaining rebel.
What would be the consequence of the outrages committed by the
SpitallSelds weavers? They would have the edict of driving sway
the silk trade trim Spirdfields.
The minium was then withdrawn.
The Court. after cussideriug various seders, adjoerned at half.
past two o'clock.

T e LORD MAYOR has nominated the following Gen-
tlemen for the office of Sheriff—Wan Etas, Eq. chitin and

We may coogratulate the public up .n .he iet Ut Is ()f
peace among the weaver of the metropolis, and we Outbid equally
_orrice if the disturbances to the manufacturing diiitricts in the
country were progressing to the same desirable end. At Stockport
there has been some rioting, and the weavers attacked the Magis-
tracy and constables, who were endeavouring Yrestore order, bit
without effect. The military were then directed to fire and after
about slaty rounds had been fired ever the beads of the rioters th. y
dispersed. Several of them were taken into nstody.and seat to prnoo.
Last night, between eight and• nose o'ctor k. the b e
at Ten p:eabar which had been subdued in the mot Ling
broke OUI afresh, and the engines were again cal ed ritt,,
requisition, and continued to play ou the ruins till a la e
hour at right; but there does not appeal any probability
of the fire extending its ravages further. About chive
o'clock in the afternoon a large stack of chimneys he-
longing to the Sun, which stood tottering. a..d ihreat.
ening destruction, was pulled down by the firem•
who contrived with great difficulty to get a rope round
it, and by their united exertions it fell down towards
Temple Bar with a most tremendous crash. Two stacks
are still remaining in a most dangerous state, and are
expected to fall every instant.
The houses destroyed we those heloneir g to Mr.
,Carlisle, bookseller—nothing saved; Mr. Harper, silver-
smith—stock little saved, furniture &c. destroyed; the
Sun Tavern, nothing saved; a house adjoining,kept by a
sweep named Solomon,, nearly buret to the grotnid ;
three houses opposite—the roofs burnt and considerably
damaged; Mr. Uitonson's, Fleet•str etc, damaged—in a
dangerous state, and expected to tall down.
Two houses also. Nos. 46 and 47, in Bell yard, bin
longing to Mr. Mason, green grocer, the back part en-
tirely burnt. The house of Mr.Lticas, N 0.45, adjoining.
partly damaged at the back. Tile last mentioned houses
being old, with some others, it is expected they must be
pulled down. The cellars of Mr.Havokins are flow filled
with water, and it will take some hones to draw it off.
From the time of the first appearance of fire in Mr.
Carlisle's house till the whole of the twolouses were JD
one continued blaze, there was not a lapse of more than
twelve minutes. During this interval one of the Prin-
cipals, as also the whole of the Gentlemen who sleep its
the house of the fit m of Child and Co. the bankers, were
indefatigable in their notions to rescue their venerable
and respected neighbour. Mr. Harper, his Lady sold
daughter, and also a grand, n, a fine youth of fifteen,
from the three:coed dissolution by the rapid progress of
the flames. Messrs. Childs also afforded an asylum in
their house,which is immediately opposite.for this family.
as well as for the little portion of the valuable stock
from the devouring elemciat, until they could receive a
supply of clothes horn the house of their soli, in Ninfollt=

COURT OF KING'S BENC/11, Woonsairesa. SAT it.
Ruler in Biwa
DOS, D. KIND, AND ANOTillta. N. /*Razz.
Mr. Guano! moved for a rale nisi for a new trial in
this cue, which was tried before Mr. Baron Gamow at
the last assizes at Chelmsford. It was an action of

ejectment on the several demises of Ann [um and Geo.
Busby White, the loner of whom was an attorney. The
estate in question had passed under the will of a Mrs.
Martha King. which was made in the year 1775; and
the main question in the cause was. whether Ann King,
• the first lessor of the plaintiff, was tow eldest or

youngest daughter of a kr. Thomas Slater King. a,
Gentleman of fortune. who many years ago ',shaded at
Lintels. in Kent? The plaint.fs case was. that Ann

King was the youngest ciatiehter. The defendant en-t
deavouted to prove that she was the eldest daughter,
and had bren dead upwards of forty years. The Jury.
however, found for the plaintiff. The ground ea which
he (Mr. Gurney) nosemoved for a new trial was. that a
fraud had been committed by George Busby White, who
was one of the lessors of the plaintiff and the attorney
in the cause. It appeared ,by affidavits which bad been
made since the trial, that the supposed register of bap-
tism of Ann King was a forgery. Four days before the
trial, White and his clerk went over to Linton to in-
spect the register. and they having a►certained trots the
Clergyman that he had been sabots .aed on the part of
the defendant to produce the original register at the
trial, it was determine l not to give it in evidence on the
• part of the lessors of the plaintiff. It was, however, pro.l
• dated by the defendant, and then by all parties admit.
ted that it was a forgery. Bence the trial it bad been
discovered that the forgery had been committed by
White, who had two years before purchased Ann King's
interest. He had since been indicted. for the forgery,
and bad absconded. The 114d4Wite en which the pre-
sent motion was made detailed other circumstances.
showing that the grossest fraud had been practised upon
the Court and Jury at the trial.
The Court granted a rule Mel.

Mr. Guam moved for a rule Pia for a new trial
in this ease, which was teed a short time since in this
place, before LordTenteriten. when a verdict was found
for the plaintiff. The teatime which this verdict de-
termined were—first, whether the plaintiff. Major lio•
per, was a trader within the meaning et the ►ankrupt
law ? and secondly. whether he bad committed an act
of banksuptcy? The verdict negatived both those pro.,
positions. and estaldished the fact which the plaintiff
undertook to make out—viz. that dui commission of
bankrupt which the defendant (Mr. H.Phillips. the auc.l
dormer, of New Bond street) bad taken out against the
plaintiff was invalid. 'The learned Counsel was pro.
funding to recapitulate the facts as proved on the trial,
when

Lord Taurean', inquired whether he bad any reason
to complain of the manner in which the case had been
left to the Jury, or whether any evidence bad been im-
properly admitted?
Mr. Gustiert replied in the negative, but submitted
that the verdict was against the weight i f evidence with
respect to the tradicg. The act of banktuptcy, be
thought. had been fully established.
Lord Taartaansm thought it very doubtful whether
any act of bankruptcy had been committed, considering,
the state of healih the party was in at the time.
Mr. GOILIIIIT observed, that another action was de•
pending on the same question against a party who had
got possession of all the money. That case stood for
trial at Guildhall, and the &fondant was desirous of
having fiaol judgment is this cense suspended until the
other was disposed of.
Lord Tommy observed, that he was quite satisfied
with the verdict, and the rate was therefore refused.

1111tVSS IP. SCOTT.

Mr. Guam moved fie a rule Nii to set aside the
verdict obtained by the plaintiff. and for a new trialon
the ground. first. of misdirection on the part of Lord
Teateedea;_ and worldly. that the verdict was against
crickets. The action was for a malicious prosecution.
The defendant had preferred an indictment for perjury
against the plaintiff, an slummy, for having sworn that
be (the defeatist), who bad been a clerk of Messrs.
Frosid and Rose, attornics, of R•ser-street, had bad the
management of a cause of Murray e. Reeves," in
which Mesirs.Frowd and Row were concerned as at-
tarok* for the plaintiff. The trial of the indictment
came on at Guildhall, and the result was a verdict of
ant guilty. The plaintiff then brought the present ar..-
lion for a malicious prosecution. It was tried at the
Sittings after last Term at Guildhall, when the plaintiff
(*Weed a verdict for 100 i. damage.. It appearing in
the come of the trial that the defendant had not had
thansanagetnent of the cause of "Murray v. Reeves,"
Vied Tenterden expreaVed a doubt whether the action
could he maintained, observing that it could hardly be
said that the indictment for perjury had been preferred
without reasonable cause. His Lordship, however, in-
stead of seasniting the plaiatlL left the case to the
Jury, telling theas that it appeared the plaintiff had been
iskaken in supposing that the -defendaut had had the
management of the cause of • Murray o. Reeves." but
it was for them to say whether the proiecatibh for per-
kier had bees institeted without or probable
cause. and if they thought they 'mist .find for the
plaintiff. The Joky being ihns'ditteted. hid returned
