bad left the congtegatioseatirely--and those wins still
emmdoso to heat Mr. Hyslop. The latter crintend, that
they are sot liable coajaaetly and severally: sad this
is the only point in which they agree with the other
defenders. But it was with the other defenders,
who bad left the congregation. that the important
question came to he discussed. Their principal pleas
were, that they had come under so obligation which
could extend beyond the time they continued to be
members; that they left the congregation nearly two
years before the action was raised; that the whole
stipend was paid up to a term, per advance, some
months before they left it : and that they bad good
grounds for leaving it, and intimated it to Mr. Hyslop,
in writing, when they did so; that the association was
Purely voluntary, grad that they were legally entitled,
as in all voluntary associations, to go away at any
time when they thought proper; and that it was for
the interest of both minister and people that this
slould be the ease; and they maistained, that it was
the oviform understanding of dissenters, and agree-
able to the priniiples and practice of the settlision
church, that they should have this rights and, is
tandem:ado° of this, remarked, that no such action
as the present, bad ever bees brought since the ems
tneneement of the secession, about eighty years ago.
The case was debated on differed days, at great
length, and with great ability, before Lord Glebes, by
some of the most eminent Counsel at the bar. His
Lordship es the 6th current, pronounced an interlo-
cutor in these terms :—Having heard parties, proem
raters, ands the action irregular, in so far as bn.u4ht
against sack of the defenders as are married women ;
dismisses the same as to them, and decerns ; finds,
that the other defenders, who reenlsrly became mem-
bers of the congregation mentioned in the libel, are,
during their respective lives, jointly and
liable to the pursuer, while he eoutio set tidoister of
the said eeogregatiott, for pat men, of the yearly solo
and bode-rest stipulated to be paid to biw, as spe-
cified in the Jibe), sod &tetras."

A representation against this interloccor. wr UMW
stand, is to be given is to his Lordship. Tile mite is
one new and important in its conseqiumces, and desers•
log the attention of Dissenters. both miuiscei a and
people.

a yoang man of decent appearance was brought from
St. Giles's Wsteb•bonse. en a eight charge. when the
following discovery of a robbery in the home of Lord
Bathurst was made.

It appeared that the prisoner the eight before had
bees walking shout the streets with a young woman

ting Magistrate. G. B. MAINWAIINO, Bq.
The prisoner on being dismissed was ordered to pay
the nasal 6oe of Is.; but In consequence of the young
woman missing her silk handkerchief, and strosgl► sus-
pecting the prisoner of having stoles it, she intimated
her suspicions to the Magistrate, who ordered the pri-
I sonar to be searched ; on which two glasses or tumblers
were found in his pockets. On being questioned bow
he came by them, be gave a very uns►tisfactory account;
and there being some letters cut on the glasses. and the
prisoner representing that he bad received them from
persons whose names did not in the least correspond
with the letters thereon, Plank and Wales, the officers,
being aware from their visit to his Lordship's house.
that his steward was in the habit of marking his glasses
with those letters, "S. R." for his Steward's-room,"
they strongly suspected t►at the prisoner had steles
them from Lord Bathurst's. The prisoner was locked
up, and Wales immediately dispatched to his Lordship's
house to make enquiry, and ascertained that his opinions
were not groundless. The glasses in the prisoner's pos-
session were-missing by the steward, Mr. Crotch, who
attended the office, and recognised the prisoner as hav-
ing been at the house of Lord Bathurst, in Stanbope-
street, Mayfair, the night before with the under Butler,
in the pantry. He w him there to his know.
ledge before ; but witness had lately missed some silver
plate, but did not know to what extent ; be could ascer-
tain by Tuesday.
The prisoner seemed very contrite for his offences he 4
confessed bowleg stolen the property while at Lord Ba-
tburst's beim. He cried very much, and said he bad
never stolen any thing in his life before. He was out
of a siteatioe, and for the sake of his wife and children
he begged forgiveness.
Mr. Crotch told him if belied stolen any of the plate
and he would divulge to him where hi. Lordship could
recover it, he bad no doubt bet he would prove lenient
to the prisoner.
Mr. Headerson, a tradesman to Lord Bathurst, gave
the prisoner an excellent character, having known him
to live with the Marquess of Bath. Lady Carr, and had
travelled to Chins with Lord Amherst. The Magistrate
' t remanded the prisoner for farther examination.
