Mr. Ltsctt now insisted, that as it was impossible
to impute tucker to the Petitioner, he was entitled
to the elpetiCeS of his application.
Sir SAMUEL. ROHILLE said, that he thought it had
been admitterl by Mr. Leach the other day, that there
was no ground to charge Mr. Watkins with any mis-
conduct. He (Sir Samuel Rnmil:y) had long known
'Mr. Watkins as a professional gentleman, and en:
tertaitted a good opinion of him.
Mr LEACH said, that there was a chain of circum-
stances in the case which did nos entirely remove
from his mind, that this was Mr. ‘Vatkins's Petition.
Mr. HART then requested his Lordship to permit
the further consideration to stand over till the Corn-
. .
nits.' .ners had been seen.—Ordered.

Mr. NEWLAND stated, that the Petitioners were
Infants, who prayed to be removed from their mo-
ther, and to be placed under the care of a guardian.
The Loan CHANCELLOR asked whether there was
MI (Muse in Court ?
Mr. NEWLAND replied in the negative. The in-
tants, however, were possessed of properly, their
soots having executed a bond to pay them the sum of
AI. a-year each. One of the infants was of the age of
:foot years,
.the other of eight years. Their father
came in 1810 from St. Kitt's, and was now a lunatic.
Its July, 1815, the wife, Judith Poem, came into
this country with the Petitioners, and within two
rood), was delivered of a child. It would be
shown, that her conduct was extremely bad, and that
she received improper visitors. Sometime in the pre-
sent year, the infants were under the care of their
aunts ; but she employed a Sheriff's officer to apply
'for them, and they were now in her custody. The
Learned Counsel was prepared to prove by affidavits,
that she meant to go With the intents to St. Kitt's,
and therefore, he woe instructed to request his Lord-
.ship to make an order to restrain her from taking I
the Petitioners from the jurisdiction of the Court.
A copy of the petition bad not been served on Mrs.
fugsosr, as she was not to be found; hut if his
Lordship granted the prayer -44-itr he would, per.
bops, allow the order to be served on her solicitor.
LORD CHANCILLON.—" flow do you know that
he is her solicitor? You may take the order that she
must not carry away the children, but it must be
served on her."
Mr. HART said, that he was not retained in this ,
/natter, and knew nothing of the insinuations against ,
Mrs. Pogson's character. He was, however, ac-
;painted with some of the family, who knew she was
Isoing abroadA but 4f the children were to be left
ere, whet was the Court to do with them, when
their only property was only 51. a year? They had
been long in the.custody of their mother, and, perhaps, '
the Court would pave before it pronounced au order ,
go remove them.
Mr. alewx*se replied, that.

The Loan Cu SCEI.I.Oe said, that 11' the petition
was founded on facts, the Court would not refuse !tie
prayer of it.
COURT OF KlNo's BENCH, Nov.B.
CA.EROL V. DC TASTET.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL moved for a rule to
.show cause why the verdict for the Defendant in
this case should not he set aside, and a new trial
had. The case was tried on the tith of July last, at
Guildhall, before Lord Ellenborough and a Special
Jury. The Learned Attorney observed, that if the
opinion of Lord Ellentrorough, however strongly ex-
pressed, was to be considered final, no man would
be less inclined to question that opinion, or more
disposed to bow with deference to its justice than
himself ; but when he knew that his Lordship would
rather derive pleasure from having his judgment fully ;
canvassed, than, feel it as a departure from that re-
spect to which his talents as well as his experience'
entitled him, he did not consider it necessary for hint
to offer any apology for the steps which he wps now
taking. It was his duty strenuously, but humbly, to
-in the cause of his Client, in the view in which
presented to his imagination—and in doing so ,
,ice satisfied he should not he regarded by the
luflge to whom lie alluded, as acting with t
like a pertinacious adherence to his own

ELLENBOROUGA-46 I fully appreciate the
by which you are actuated, and shall wil-
ten to any thing which you may a, ggest in
laid give it every consideration in my power ;
which I am tire I stall be joined by my
Brothers."
ITORNEY-GENICRAL then proceeded to state
I,tances of the case, which are no doubt
o the recollection of our Readers. The
laintiff, he observed, was one of the as-
two bankrupts, named Parry and Latham,
Defendant was a merchant of considerable
and respectability, who had employed
Parry and Latham to transact business to a
• cum for him in respect to his West In-
qty. Ills particular business, however,
by Mr. Parry, Mr. Latham seldom inter-
_ it. During these transactions, which in
fact involved property to the amount of 60,0001.
a Mr. Mardell, also a merchant in the City, by
some means learnt that acceptances of his were
In the hands of Mr. de Tastet, to the amount of
20 or 30,0001. Being perfectly satisfied that there
were nu such acceptances of his abroad, he thought
it proper to wait upon Mr. de Tastet, for the
purpose of seeing those of which he had heard.-
--On reaching Mr. de Tastet's, he there met
Mr. Parry, and at once, in the presence
that person, begged to see the acceptances whip')
Isere the subject of his enquiry. Upon being pro.
duced, he pronounced them forgeries. Mr. Parry
was immediately called upon fpr explanation, epos
which he said that it was a mistake, as they were
the,acceptances of another house of the same name.
Mr. Mar tell said, this could not be true, and de-
nied that any sorh other house was io existence.—
Mr. de Taitet, of coarse, became alarmed, and in
