This wu so meting brought by Mr. Page, inert*.
for of military storm to the East Wirt Company,
'Oast Messrs. Amory end Coles, Solicitor., for
reglad in the conduct of his business, as attorneys.
It appeared from the statement of Mr. Scaat.arr,
Ghat Mr. Page, who had had same weeds:7 trans-

from Mr. %evens, with stay of emotion for four
months. The stay of mention 'spired on the 16th
of June, and Mr. Pogo thereupon gave his attoroura,
Amory and Color, orders to proceed against Mr.
Stevens. 'lb regular made in sods cases is to sign
iodises!, see oat mention, and select an officer to
inks the levy. All this was done by Amory and
Coles on the 18th of June; they selected en officer
of the name of Watkins. sod sent bim to make •

levy tb Little Chelsea, where Stevens carried on his
soup-manufactery, and at 24 (we think), Judd-
street, Bruswkk.sqoare, where Stevens resided.—
This officer reported to Messrs. Amory and Colas,
that all Stevens's goods were removed from Judd-
street, that the Excise were in his manufactory at
Chelsea, and that be was also in a of rent for
the premises which he held there. Every one of
lints statemeets were false; he had not removed
Ma goods from Isis house in Judd-street; he bad

Ur. Page famed out that the officer had deceived him,
by the broker to the landlord of Stereos's mandac-
eery, telling open him some few days afterwards,
end telling hire that he bad made 'distress on the
. pads foetid in Slevsna's esanefactory, end that he
be was willing to pay the everples arising from the
articles sold to him (Mr. Page), whom he falsely
ceesklered to be Steveee's peruser. The information

to his attorney, whose duty it was, if the writ had
expired, rather to isaire another writ, called an
skim fart facia', or else to have ruled the Sheriff to
make a return to the former writ. Neither of these
were done. By neglect of the former measure,
Stevens contrived, as would be shown in evidence,
to dispose of all his property, without Mr. Page
getting sixpence of it ; and by neglect of the latter,
ell means of redress were lost as against the Sheriff.
This statement wu fully corroborated try Mr.
Page's witnesses.

he found the premises locked op. end a padlock on
the door and a bar across it. Ile was informed by

the premises, as he conceived int ElCite to be In be-
fore him. Ile clambered on en old tree, and looked

Mr. Windeyer said, that he had never, to the best
of his recollection, expressed approbation of the con.
duct of the Defendant, Amory and COI'S; if be had,
it was mere civility, owl meant nothing ; ke
might say "it was ell right." bet nothing more.
