HENSLEY r. I'INNOCK AND MAUNDF.R.

Mr. Wl:Tomei:Lt., this play, stored that the injune-
tisin whirl, had been issued in this case might he dis-
solved, and that the order for a rereiver might be die-
eharge.l. Our readers are already in full possession
of the facts on which Mr. Ilart obtained the order,
and the' efore it will he nuclei essary to follow the
Learned Gentleman through Isis statement of what
took place on the former occasion. flaring repeated
much of what hal before been read from the bill, be
proceeded to contend that Mr. Hensley had in fact
been folly aware of the transaction between NI
Fry and Tipper, and Messrs. l'inisock and Maunder,
relative to the composition of the debt against the
former co-partnership, and then went on to insist, that
so far from that conduct depreciating the assets of the
present concern, it iu effect increased its valise in no
less N ratio than in a sum of I,OOIIL ; that Mt- liens-
ley had lw:n a party to the transaction, and in reality
had himself part of the money. anti received the vouch-
ers for the paynsents. lie dwelt with :molt force on
the increased valne of the property under the manage-
ment of Messrs. Pinnock and Maunder, and on the
fart of part of the money beini advanced before the

COURT OF K1N614 BENCH, DUBLIN.

♦nIIt!>SISILIT! OF CATisoLicl To roirollaTioNo.
tin Thursday last, Mr. Lynch, on the same side'
with Mr. O'Connell, moved the Cavort of King's Heath
for a 41buirlopostrs, at the suit of Patrick Collins, a
tradesman, of the Catholic prnoisien, resident in she ,
town of °Away, to be directed to the Mayor of tialway,
to admit the said Patrick Collins to the Freedom eli
the Corporation. The motion was grounded on the af-
Admit of said Collins, and referred to the 4th of (leo.;
1., Chap. 15, section 5, contu►ottly called the lialway
Act, which enacts, that " every prrsott professing to
he of any Trade, Mystery, or Handicraft, that shall
inhabit in the town of Oaten, in order to follow their
respective trades, shall, ■n•t are thereby declared to be ,
free of the town and Corporation of lialwar, and alto
of that Company or Corporation to uhiel; respee-
the trades belonK, without paying any thing for such
fre..doiii, and shall so continue as long as they shall
so r,side, and no tonere." The next clause contains
a pros i.o, " that the claimant to the Freedom must he
a prole-•rd Prt;testant for seven rears preceding-, and
make tho declarations, and take the oaths, usually re-
qoirell from Protestants." The affidavit neat referred
to the Financipation Act of 17N, lien. 111., cap. 21,
anti suggesti.d that, by this Statute, the proviso abuse
mentioned was repealed, and that a Catholic trades-
man was therefore admissible to his freedom under the
clause first ahvvementioned. Lynda moved, ac-
cordingly, for a conditional order fur a .kfundutaus to
that fact.

Cum, JUNTICH—Grant the motion.

The action in this cause, which came on and was
tried in the Court of King's Bench, on the 2►oth of
November, before the Hon. Mr. Justice J tbb and a
highly respectable Special Jury, was f.r trespass, in
defendants seizing and taking from the plaintiff on
the 12111 of September, MS, 431 be. weight of tea, al-
!edged by them to he spurious.
Mr. HI:BROWS stated the plaintiff's case, and ani-
madverted in strong terms on the enormous opener
lie was pnt to, not only in seeking to recover his pro-
perty so seised and still withheld, but in clearing up his
character.

After the plaintiff ha.' gone through Ids case,
The Sot.tcrrou-OENERAL argued, that there was no
evidence in point of law to affect two of the defend-
ants (Law and Paisley), mill the Judge sent up an
issue to the Jury thereon, and told them, that in point
of law, there was no el-Pence against these 'two
fetidan7 s : the Jury returned a t erdict of—sot Utility.
The SOLICITOR-IiENERAL then stated the case for
the other eerends39, and admitted the Tea seized
to be genuine ; he dill not examine any whores"
nor make the slighsest ins:unations against Mr.
Cuilen's character.
The Judge charged the Jury, and amongst other
matters told them, that although the expences of
Cullen were very great, yet, that he was hound to
defend his character front a charge, which. if true,
must and she tid hare driven him on of trade and so-
ciety ; and that his feelings during the time those
charges were p •ndint,• against him, ought to be taken
into consideration by the Jury.
'rite Jury retired for a few minutes, and returned
a verdict for 121111/. with costs, for the plaintiff. The
Counsel for plaintiff had a po'nt saved, as to whether
there was el Hence. its p.•int of law, to go to the Jury,
against defendants Lee and Paisley.
