A Lady 'ate name of Young and Itsi son, were
entitled to COusiderable estates in Grenade, and con-
tracted to sell them to Mr. Lashiogton, a meroliant
in London, for .52,0001. ;The estates wore subject
to a pinch mortgage for 29,0001. and to other
debts, which Mr. Lushingtou agreed to discharge,
deducting the price from the. purchase-money. Mr.
I.ushingtou never, paid the Dutch mortgage,. and
suit was commenced againit 'him to account.. Be'
some time after became bankrupt, and his asaigneiii ,
were made parties. It came out, at length, that
Mr. Lushingtory had mortgaged the estates to the
house of Bolden) and Co. bankers. That house
likewise failed, and their assignees were made par-
ties. An enquiry was ordered by the Chancellor,
bite the circumstauceti of the cue, which had qow
been going on for inearly three years,.,and the report
was ready to be made.
The assignees o( Beildero and Co. in the mean
time, filed a Bill in' the Court. of Chancery in Gre-
nada, against Mrs. Young and her son, and against
a Mr. Duncan Campbell, who was stated to have
purchased the Dutch mortgage at about 13,0001.
praying that they might be at liberty to redeem the
mortgage at the sum paid for it by Campbell, and for
a foreclosure.
Sir Aussima Pict:err now applied for an lujunc-
tiou to reitraie the further proceedings in the Grenada
suit, and to have the bill there dismissed, as it re-
lated to the same matters brought before the Court
here, where the parties might have complete justice ;
and this was the more desirable, as the parties alt re-
sided here, though the estates were in Grenada.
Mr. lista objected to this, in point, of form, as
the motion embraced all the relief prayed for by the
supplemental bill, on which it was founded; and
lie opposed it also en the merits, stating, that the
suit in Grenada comprehended some things not
brought before the Court here.
The Loan CDANcaLLON said, that it was not uni-
versally tree, that a motion could not'be entertained
because it embraced the whole of the relief prayed
by the bill; and, on slat whole, if the suit in Gre-
nada related to the same matters that were before the
Court here (as to which particular lie requested some
further information), he thought the proceedings in
the Grenada suit ought to be restrained.
COURT OF JUNG'S BENCH, Du. 53.

This was an issue from the Court of Chancery, to
try whether the ,Plaintiffs, in this case, were entitled
to receive 19,2961. from' the estate of Goodlake and
Co. bankrupts. The Circumstances under which
this issue was to be tried, were these :—Some time
back a gentleman named Bremer, a merchant .of
some eminence, in the city, applied to the present
Plaintiffs, fur permissims to draw upon them for
such sums as, in the courte of his business, be might
require ; as a collateral security to Plajntitis, 1w
agreed to deposit in their hands certain Bills of
Exchange, fully adequate to provide funds for such
bills as they might accept. This arrangement having
been acceded to by,Messrs. Masterman and Co. it
. was agreed that for the trouble which ,they would
have in these transactions, they should be allowed ;
to charge one quarter par cent. for such bills es
should be so drew* by Bremer. Soon`caTter the
preliminaries of this plan were arranged, however,.
Plaintiffs suggested the exceptionable appearance
which bills drawn upon them in London, by a per-
son in London, would have ; they therefore advised,
that Bronier should procure some person at a dis-
tance from town, who would lake the trouble of
drawing the bills, and-thereby prevent any sung-
don, which might otherwise arise. Mr. firmer, In
accordance with this advice, looked about for some ;
person to undertake this office; (rut being unable to
procure such an agent, it was proposed. by Messrs. 1
Masterman, that a Gentleman residing in Yorkshire,
brother to one of their firm, and engaged in a bank
there, should undertake this trouble,' for which he
was to have a commission of one shilling per cent.—
This was agreed to by Mr. Bremer, and In this
form transactions continued to ho carried '.on be-
tween them for a considerable tkine. While matters
were thus iituated, Bremer paid into Plaintiffs'
be nking.house bills of exchange of the house of.Good-
lake and Co. to the amount of 19,1961.; drew open
them for that,sum, and negotiated .their acceptance".
shortly afterwards both Goodlake and 'co .•
Kromer became bankrupts, and, of course,lq
mans applied te prove their debt under Goodialsa 0
commission to the amount of the billa.of that firm lie
their possession. Their claim was resisted before
c.;ommissioners, and on of the partners under:
went. a long' examination, the object of Wadi was,
to obtain from him a confession that, in addition to
the commission of a quarter per cent. and one.
ling per cent. already alluded tos`a dissent of five
per cent. for the advances made to Broome:eras net
charged. To the questions on this bead, however,

the

_

eicatie of one
. _
shilling per cent. from the house in Yorkshire, ter
the trouble of drawing bills, that had actually been
paid in the manner proposed, and of consequence was
quite out of the liceadon.
Upon the whole,, the point to be decided was,
whether, upon a review of the nature of the busi-
ness transacted betwoeu Mr. Brosner and the Plain.
~tifs, iluppocintadvancea bad taken place beyond the
severities lodged, Plaiitilic %colabeen
not have *l-
Ptided, witheut 'the imputation of usury, in c
an, interest ot 5 per cent. independent of ach of
a quarter per cent. for the labour which they per-
formed beyond the mere advance of money, by ac-
sting bills, keeping accounts, &c.
1 This point haying been left to the Jury, they re-
' blessed a verdict for Plaintiff', thereby confirming
their claim on the estate of Goodlake and Co. for

scheme of our Commercial and other Boards. Seat-
ed lo tha gallery of the House of Commons, it
is impossible not to witness the force of this influ-
ence, and particularly on the Opposition Bench, in
subserving the dirtiest purposes of the Minister.—
Indeed, a certain portion of the Opposition Bench
always appeared to me to be devoted as a sort of
side-board to the banqueters upon the Treasury
Benches—conveniences were plaaal upon one table
for those who eat at the other; and, Gentlemen,
when any change takes place, it is no change to the
nation, it is only turning the tables upon each Whew.
To call it a national change would be a base dela-
.
Non.
Gentlemen, I have done. Lord Castlereagh, I
(hope, will conciliate Ireland :and act fairly by the
people of both countries. Do this, my Lord, and
1 will be the first man to sign a petition for the eter.
nal seclusion of". the Talents." As to Mr. Can-
ning, a connection with him wouW be utter and ir-
retrievable ruin to his Lordship. That we cannot
I even dream of. Gentlemen, you see lam not with-
' out the hope that national freedom will he the prize
of national glory. Do not thick I undervalue the
institutions of England.. We have much to preserve
as well as contend for; and amidst the bitterest at.
fictions and disappointments, we should never for-
get that is is our high destiny and over-proud inhe-
Titaness to live in a country where it is the duty, the
sworn duty, of a King to respect those lies which
the pout of a Kiug cannot alter.
