SUMACS V. ADDRaWS.
Mt. AiettpOLD stated, that. this action was brought. to.
,r over a considerable . sum of money adtaored by ;ho
.plaintiff to the defendant. The parties met original{}
is .1816, at Stevens's Hotel; they formed a close- intt•
niers; and afterwards set out together for a tour .on this
ormaisent.• Mr. Andrews 'represented himself to, hie.
Mood as in temporary want of mosey, from the beck-
wards's* of those relations who ought. to supply him,
'hat as well assented of speedy independence and wealth.
Belying on these assurances, Mr. Wallace paid the bill
which the defendant had costrected at the hotel, and
continued to supply him with cash, and to make•
ments for him daring their travels. They resided fur It;
months atParis, under this system, till the intswedialo
resonrceauf Mr. Wallace weee exhausted, when he.fituad
himself deserted by his friend, and arrested for their
tamest debts.. Tbui Mr. Wallace was theatre into pri-
son in a foreign coorstry, and might have lingered there
till thie day, had not the British Ambsseador, who was
acquainted with his family, interfered on his behalf, and
paid the debt., aniountiow to 12,000 fronts, for which he
was then in custody. Sir. Andrews, though he bad
since become possessed of a large fortune, had forgotten
this debt of honour, of aeatitode, and of justice, and bad
compelled the *knit/ to substantiate hist 'claim in a
Court of Law. It might be said, that Mr. Wallace had
encouraged the defendant to spend more money than. he
could. afford ; but this ungracious defence would not
avail, as Mr. Andrews must be supposed the best judge
of his own resources and prospects in life. The leasnail
Counsel called a mto who had served as valet to both
parties, named Homey, who stated rations payments made
by the plaintiff for the defendant.
The LORD Curer JUSTICI strongly recommended a
reforence, as the .parties were gentlemen, and had been
on terms of friendship .
. After some conversation, this suggestion was adopted,
and a verdict was taken for 1,00 W., subject to the award
of Mr. Jones.

HIGH COURT OF JUSTtCIARY, EDINBURGH
MAT It

The Court this day resumed its sitting. The first
canoe which came before it was a prosecntion for per-
jury, at common Jaw, and under the BANKRUPT Statutes.
Joke ilairlie, convicted at the last Glasgow' circait of
perjury, was arraigned at the bar, on certification, for the
purpose of teceiying judgment.
Lord Gtwas reported the case. The panel bid been
convicted of having lodged a false and fraudulent affi-
davit, in which he claiafed as creditor on the sequestrat-
ed estate of Robert Smellie, to the amount of X4,0'11,
Os. W., and of having accordingly voted for the election
of a trustee. The case appearing, to his learned brother,
as well as himself, one which was deserving of particu-
lar notice, they had referred the punishment of it to, their
Lordships. Lord tlillies concluded by suggesting that
the crime be marked with infamy, and be punished with
transportation for seven years. .
Lord HaeNAaD considered this a proper ease for an ex-
ample, and one which d d all the publicity to which
the most exemplary treatment could expose it; for a crime
more dangerous to the commercial world, or of deeper in-
famy in, itself. had rarely ever occurred. The panel bad
been convicted of lodging a fraudulent claim in a segues-
tration to the amount or 40001. This sum might have been
large enough to influence the election of a trustee in his own
interest. His Lordship felt convinced that rrimes of less
dangerous consequence, and of less moral guilt In the sight
of both God sad man, had frequentiy been punished with
death. He would not have been for going that length, if
the law had permitted him ; but there were instances of
perjury, in which the approprlgte.punisliment of the pillory
had been added to that of imprisonment or transportation.
If be had sat alone, he should certainly have indicted a se-
verer punishment than bad been proposed. Some of his
brother Judges, however, thought transportation for seven
years an adequate punishment in the present instance; he
should tweed* to that proposal, but he certainly could not
have approved of less.
Lord VITMILLT also assented, and the Lord J.USTICE
CLERK pronounced jasigosent, saying that he lamented,
on the panel's own account, and on account of his family,
the disgrace and the punishment which the commercial
iaterests of the country required that lie. should nnder•
go. The sentence of the (Jowl " declared the said John
Haillie a false and perjured person, infamous in all time
coming, incapable of holding any public office or
trust, abd adjudged bins to be transported fur seven
years."
The panel afterwards protested his innocence, and sup-
plicated the Court to examine some accounts which he
said would convince them of his truth. He was remind.
ed by the Court, that his documents bad been laid before
the Jury, and he was then removed from the bar.

Orti.onst.t..—'fbren boys. named Anises Morgan,
Henri Moir, and George Sinrlrton, were brought up
yesterday before the sitting Magistrate, Me. Alderman
Atkins.

. •
Mr. Sandford, of St. Mary's-place, Kent-roads passing
through Mt. Swithires-lane, on Wednesday. missed his
_handkerchief ; be was addressed by a little boy, named
Davison, who told him sums boys had been trying his
pocket. He mentioned the road they hal takes, and.
Mr. Sandford, accompanied him into Lombard-street,
where he pointed out a buy in a brown co it (the prisoner
Morgan) as the one he had seen put his hand into Mr.
Sandford's packet, and he wakin consequence taken 1*
custody to the Compter. Here he was soon recognised
as an old acquaintance. He, however, stoutly denied
having ever hesn in custody before. While this conver-
sation was going on, Singleton applied at the Compter
door far liberty to see him, having at the same time a
black cost over his arm, which he said was Morgan's.
Martin, the °Meet to whom this application was.utisde,
knowing Morgan had a cost on, suspected something,
and on looking round, saw another little boy, about
(germ's size, standing without coati This was the
•
prisoner Moir, who was also initnedi stely recognised as
having been discharged only the day before from New-
gam, having had the good:141one to be acquitted on an
indictment for picking pockets. The two new comers
were consequently detained. When brought before the
I Magistrate yesterday, the boy Davison swore positively
to Moir si having been in company with Morgan at the
time of the attempt on Mr. Sandford, end it subsequent-
ly came out, that the tao boys being Much of the same
size aid age (neither of them 14), had changed coats with'
the view of changing again atter committing their de-
predations, that their persons might not be so easily re-
cognized.
The parents of Moir, respectable working people, at-
tended, bat could give no hopes of his amendment, and
were desirous that he might be disposed of in any way
that might prevent Lis destruction. The friends of Mor-
on bed been applied to, but they had given him op as,
incorrigible, and did not appear in his behalf.
Singleton said he was in employ, and could send for
his master, for which purpose, as also to consider wife=
they any thing could be done with the other hays, he-
sides sending them to trial, the/ were all remanded for,
another examination.
BOW•STRIMT.—DISRONVIIT SERVANT.—/ferberi GU-
beet was brought before Sir dimwits ataxic yesterday,
charged with having robbed his emp toyer, Messrs. It,
Garrard and Brothers, the silversmiths, in Pantoe-street,
Haymarket.
The prisoner has been four or five years in Messrs.
ilarrards' service as a porter. The other day he offered a
small quantity of old silver for sale to Mr. Whitford, a
working silversmith in Porter-street, Newport-market,
and be knowing the-prisoner to be Messrs. 6arrards' ser-
vant, suspected he bad no procured the silver honestly ;
and, retaining the property, he desired the prisoner to
call again on the fallowing slay. In the meantime he
eomninuicated the circumstance to Messrs. Garrard, and,
es he bail snspectei, the property had been pilfered from
their stock. The prisoner was then- given in custody to
Jefferson, and a search warrant having been obtained, a great
number of different articles, their property, were found in
his house, No. 13, Burton-street, Walwortn•Counuon,
where, it seems, his wife kept a shop for the sale of
them.
The prisoner said nothing at all in his defence, and was
fully committed to Newgate for trial.
Isis* Row.—Ed. Walsh alias Tipperary Trebly, was
brougat before 0. R. MINSHULL, Esq.. on Wednesday night
charged with having violently assaulted Peter Apr, one
the beadke of St. Martin's parish.
It appeared by the evidence of the beadle and others, that
two Irishmen were indulging their natural propensitigs by
knocking each other about, in Old Round-court, on Saturday
night lest, to the very great annoyance even of that pugna-
cious neighbourhood. The beadle went to quell the disturb-
ance, and with some difficulty he prevailed upon the combat-
ants to desist ; when Tipperary Teddy was so exasperated
at the sport being spoiled, that his knocked the beadle down
by a tremendonstlow in the mouth. This blow was the
signal for a general row ; for the poor beadle was no sooner
op the ground, thane dozen other Irishmen f,ll upon him,
kicking and beating him most unmercifully; and had' not a
powerfal body of English bystanders interfered, he would
hardly hate escaped with his life, As it was, became out of
the affray with his countenance so disfigured, that scarcely a
feature was discernible, his hand totally disabled by their
trampling upon it; and his whole body literally covered
with bruises.

Tipperary Teddy, in his defence, pleaded an alibi, and
called the landlord of s neighbouring public-house to
prove, that he WAS "busy a driakikg,'la tup-tooin
the whole of that evening.
The landlord failed to prove this,—all he could may
wa•, that he saw Tipperary Toddy in his house repeat-
edly on that-evening ; ■o,t that Tipperary Teddy WAS so
much giveoto talki sg,th at Itivl tie been &tweet aoly fur a
ninon, he inset have misird Win by the falling o'ir of
the noise.

Tipperary Teddy now looked at the Magistrate as
though he thought he had givrn s complete answer to
the charge; brit his Worship observed that thl landlord's
statement proved nothiug.
" Had lurk to him then, your Worallip,"—said 'Tip-
perary Teddy,—" had luck to him ; for he tioild Wet
