POLICE.

NaNstosi-tiocsc.—A person of respectable appear.;
alive, named Leodkri, was brought before the Loan!
Mavoa, upon the charge of having defrauded Mr. Hal-
man, of Thames-street, of a large quantity of damaged
biscuits, under pretence that lie was agent to the Mar-
quis l'ainden.
A much more serious charge amse out of a document
produced by the prisoner in his defence. Mr. Hol-
man stated, that the prisoner waited upon him saute
time ago, and mid he wanted 20 cwt. of damaged his-1
t•;its for the Marquis Camden. The price having been
agred upon, and the complainant haring said that be
had no more than 12 cwt. of biscuits, the prisoner said
his address was at Kennett's Wharf, that he bad formerly I
lived with a respectable merchant, named Rolls, and had
known the complainant. Mr. Holman recollected hay-
ing
seen the prisoner upon a former occasion, but 'mild
not have given him credit if he had not introduced him-1
self upon the credit of the Marquis Camden. The his-
cuits were put into the possession of the prisoner to the
extent of 14 cwt., but it was soon ascertained by the com-
plainant that dine was no such wharf as Kennett's
Wharf; that the article was soon afterwards sold by
the prisoner at a price considerably under that which he
bad promised to pay for it, via. four shillings a hundred,
and that he was not employed by the Marquis.
The prisoner declared that he had not applied to the
complainant as agent to the Marquis Camden, but that
he had obtained the biscuits upon his own unsupported
credit. He then banded over a bill of parcels, which
had a receipt to it, and the signature of Mr. Holman, and
be said he hoped that would be considered sufficient au-
thority to convince the Lord Mayor that the transaction
was an honourable one.

It will be recollected, that this was an action of
damages against the defendants, for having assanlted
and imprisoned the plaintiff under pretend* of lunacy.
Dr. Coflyer, one of the defendants, is a respectable
surgeon, by whose advice the plaintiff was eozAned:
and it appeared, from the evidence on dip case, that
the state of the plaintiff's mind, at the time he Ira,
taken to the mn.l-house, warranted that step. The
Jury, therefore, under the conviction that the plea of
justification as to Dr. Collyer was proved, round a ver-
dict as to him, and found for the plaintiff as to the
other defendants, with Is. damages. The plaintiff
was a clerk to an attorney, living in an obscure
street somewhere about Islington, and ant defendant,
Church, was beadle of the parish, and Jones was a
watchman.

A motion was this day made by the plaintiff in per.
son, to set aside the verdict as towards Dr. Collet;
and obtain a new trial. He urged this epos serval
grounds, but more particularly because, as be cooked-
ed, the Jury drew a wrong inference from the svidtare
of Taylor, a witness for the defendants. life said, 11
held in his hand a report of the trial in sine of the
newspapers, which he offered their Lordships in an-
ti nnation of what he had advanced.

Mr. Justice flayLry.-1 don't know that ire can re-
ceive a report from a newspaper as evidence.
The Cater Jt 3TICE, betore whom the cause wu
tried, then read over his report, and the Court wasp(
opinion that the Jury could draw no other conclude ,
than they had done from the evidence of Tarilor.

Mr. J. SMITH denied having imputed any iuiscon•
duet to the Bank Directors. Ile thought the circum-
stance exceedingly disgraceful.
Mr. tittexerto. thought it a great blot on the coon-
try in the eye* of all Eirope, that there should ap-
pear in each succeeding quarter a great deficiency in
the revenue. De observed, that the accounts upon
the table were to him wholly unintelligible.
Mr. &LICH begged the House to attend to the
financial state of the country. Last year, a tnost im-
politic set of taxes had been placed upon the people,

a half, Com which the greatest benefits were expected.

The CIIANCRLLOR of the EXCLILQVga could not rise

FRIDAT, APRIL 11--Mr. Brown, front the Com-
tiittee on Foreign Relations, reported a Bill for the
:relief of Jas. Leander Cathcart, which w s twice read.
On the motion of Mr. Dickerson, the Senate then
:.,iroceede,i to the consideration of the Bill to provide
or clothing the pricy of the United States in domestic
linatutfacturas ; which provid. s that, after the passage
a f the Act, the Secretary of War he authorised and re-
staired t) anise the army of the United States to I,e
I halted in articles l.f domestic manufacture, so far as
the sam• can be procured in the United States.
Mr. Williams, of l'ennesse, moved an indefinite post-

onetnent, which caused considerable debate. The
vestion on Mr. W.'s motion was then talon, and de-
iided in the negative, 24 to 17.

lo order to make the Bill more generally acceptable,
hil remove some of the objections to the Bill, Mr.
(a■ Dyke moved that the following be added, " So
it as the same can be procured at as reasonable prices
s similar articles of foreign manufacture ;" trhich
as opposed by Messrs. Tritnhle and Dickerson ; but
.-fore the motion was taken, the Senate adjourned.

The alarm excited yestertlav morning by the deci-
to:l of the House of Commons on the agricultural pc-
:ion, has received a little cheek, by the adoption of
Ir. itosureox's motion, last night, for limiting the

altjects of Mr. Sustsita's Committee. It was moved
Ii Mr. Roetresore, that it be an instruction to the said
let:trainee to confine its inquiry into the mode of,
ascertaining and calculating averages in the twelve
maritime districts, and to inquire into any frauds
Welt may have been committed in the said twelve

THE FIATESMA

chief object of attraction during the whole evening.
With regard to the general character of this illumina-
tion, it is diniciAt t.. speak with arcnracy. In a town
roasisting of ten thousand inhabitants, judging from
appearance., we would say, that more than nine-tenths
of the !ladling 488.1 lower ciaSars, (forming of coarse
the great bulk of 'he population) seemed to approve of
the illumination ; while to the Ware fashionable streets,
the tables were so completely mined, that perhaps not
more than one tenth of the inhabitants illuminated from
any other motive than to prevent their windows from
hieing broken. In the early part of the evening, before
the arrangement. of the constables hail been completed,
several respectable holmeholders who had Witted to illu-
minate, got their windows broken ; and one gentleman
that we heard of was a good deal hurt by a stone thrown
by some half grown apprentice, who, we are informed,
was the principal if not only the disturbers of the peace.
With these exceptions, the conduct of the mob was much
more orderly than could hare been anticipated. From
seven till ten o'clock, numerous groups of ladies and gen-
tlemen paraded the streets in all directions.

lion then arose, what portion of the inhabitants were
to call upon him, hetame if a relnisition was sent
to the Soverekn, he mimiJit ant have discovered
any of the names that constitute bia Cabinet
Connmil—therefore no requisition was sent, not-
withstanding the solicitation on the part of the
Sovereign. As seven o'clock approached, a pla-
card was issned by the Sovereign, stating that
he would protect any person or house, who would not
wish to illuminate ou that night ; not only the Police,
but two companies 1" the 3d Buffs, who with their ofii-
errs, behaved as soldiers ought to behave when they
carry their bayonets among unarmed men and women,
and child..en. The soldiers behaved with gemd temper
and moderation, and their officers with steadine,s and
good sense. IVell, the illumination commenced at
seven o'clock, at the signal of a fire rocket, let off in
our centre street—in half an hour time entire town
almost, was splendidly lighted up, s tardy son!.
thoug,lmt better of it, and showed off in style. All the
commercial and manufacturing streets, without excep-
tion, were ossrotntinuesi mae ; the heart and hand
went together, the Theatre had a fine transparency of
the King and gneen, the latterpointing to the CGlisti-
Intim'. The Iris/mama Office presented a full length
portrait of her .Majesty rrotrxed, with a scroll in her
band, on which was inscribed " A Free Press—time
best defence of 1 •ence, and the bulwark of the
Constitution." '1 he night passed off without a single
being hurt; sonic few windows were broken.
Thns has Keif.:st spoken out, and acted with firm-
ness, bolt with 'owl temper. The entire shipping in
