CSMII.T.OF KING'S BENCH, Arntx.ls.
This being the first day of Easter Term, the
Judges waited on the LORD CHANCELLOR in the
morning, and then proceeded in state to their re-
spectite Courts.
lir. Justice Lt BLA.24C sat at ten o'clock,-for the
justifying of bail.
On the meeting of the Court, the usual Reports,
as to the state of the Convicts in the different prison
ships. at Portsmouth,, Chatham, Woolvviit,
ston Ilacbour, &c. were read, from which it ap-
peared that the Convicts were in general healthful
and orderly.

Yesterday a Farmer, OfWallington, neat Croy.
don was charged before Nir. Nares, with selling 72
trusses of straw) on the 21st of last March, the in-
side of which were of an liferior sort to the outside,
at S. James's Hay-market ;•the middle of the trusses
f being composed of short, rotten, and wet straw.
The Defendant was convicted in the penalty of one
shilling for each truss, andcosts, which amounted in
the whole to 51. 55..

I ROBBERY OP 'ME TAUNTON Coatis.—Yesterday
.1' Jf ildiarn f:yse, charged with the above robbery, to
the extent of 25001. on the night of the 2d of Au-
gust, 1810, was brought up for a third examination.
The book-l; ,eper of the inn in Friday-street, Cheap-,
side, proved that a man, calling himself Jones, and
acquaintance of his, whom he asked for, named
Browne, had taken their places for Taunton, but he
I.could not be positive that the Prisoner was the
man called Jones, as is suspected, he being busy at
j the time booking the names. The coachman who.
drove could not identify the Prisoner. Thomas
I Dunn of ' Birmingham, a hotse-dealer, who took
I
i some
.of the notes stolen, sshh others, from a man he
!before deposed on belief to be the Prisoner, now al.
itered his opinion, and refused to identify him. Th?
evidence .of this witness led to an opinion of the
Magistrates, that witnesses from Birmingham were
necessary, and the Prisoner was a third time re-
I mended.

_ .
• JAQUES V. TaITTON, ETC. I
• Mr. ATTORNEY-GENERAL moved fOt a rule, to,
hew cause why the nonsuit in this cause should not
'be set aside, and a new trial granted. The 'Mohair .
was the Assignee for the creditors of an insolvent of
the name of Bromley,and the action, which was tried I
before his Lordship at the. Sittings after last Term at.;
Westminster, was brought to recover certain proT
' perty belonging to the Bankrupt, which had been I
fraudulently withheld. from his assignee. At the frial i
no defence wis set up to the action itself; but It was I
contended, that: under thelOth section of the Act,of '
Parliament 3 the 'action could .not be maintained,
I
, without proof of the consent thereto, of the major 1
part of the creditors in value,. at a meeting called for 1
' the purpose, on a previous notice of at least ten days
in The London Gazette. The Attorney-General on j
i that occasion conteuded, that though it might he (A-
' mina) in an assignee to commence lin action without 1
1 hiving previously received such consent, still that
tthe right to maintain the -action depended on the
fact, whether the property sought to be _recovered.
did, or did not Wens 'to the Bankrupt. In bring-
Ing his action, witlfout latch previous consent, he did
so It his peril, and if he-filled, the costa might be
Castnn himself individually ' • but still, be contended,
this could not affect the right to maintain the action.
In-point of fact, there was in this case a previous
consent on the part of the majority of the creditors
in value, but he (the Attorney-General) was unable
to prove it.
Lord ELLENBOROUGH said, he thought at the
time, thtit the burden of proving the consent in the
terms specified in the Act,. lay on the Plaintiff; and
for want of that proof he nousuited him. . •
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said, if no action could
be maintained without proof of the consent of the
major part of the creditors in value,, then must it be
necessary, as a preliminary, in every such action, to
give ;in evidence all the facts connected with the
bankruptcy, and the amount of all the debts proved '
under it. This would be a case of great hardship.
Lord ELLENBOROVOII said, still they were bound
to give suchn construction to the words of the Act,
as they would reasonably and fairly admit of. They
were not to help out a law, because it might chance
to have its death-wound in itself. Being creatures or
the Act of Parliament, they could only exercise such
-powers as the law had given them. Still, his Lord•
ship thought, tilts was a case of great hardship, and
well lit to, be considered.—Rule to shew cause
granted.

OLD BAlLEY.—Yesterday 38 prisoners were tried,
when William Price was capitally convicted of steal-
ing a feather-bed, value 31. the property of Robert
heap, in' his dwelling-house; and 27, were convicted
.of felony.
The following shocking account is extracted from
The Chester Courant:—
" On Sunday morning the village of Henkelow,
near Nantwich, was alarmed by a report that George
Murray, farmer in that village, had been murdered
during the preceding night, having been found with his
brains dashed out, and his throat cut from ear to ear!
It was supposed that the diabolical crime had been
Perpetrated by some ruthless villains, who had ep-
teted his house in search of plunder, ami it would ap-
Pear that his wife and every part of the Tamity affect-
aid the most complete ignorance of the awful traustc-
,Oe the assembly of a concourse of people;
which so unusual a circumstance was likely to create,
anspicion fell upon one ,ef the servant men, by
distinct traces of blood from the bed of the de-
ceased to that of his, which was in a higher part
of the.house. On examining him, these suspicions
were strengthened, by finding marks of blood upon
his shirt. A peace officer was sent for, and the
.young man taken into custody. When the constable
seas taking him to a neighbouring magistrate, be said
to-the constable, ''Well, I suppose I must be hang-
ed;' and on being pressed for a disclosure of his
meaning, confessed the following particulars
the murder of his master was determined upon be-
tween his mistress and himself; that the time, man-
aer, and circumstances of it were concerted by them ;
that in the night time they fell upon him with an axe,
-and beat him with it about the head, until they
thought him dead, arid in the course of their brutali-
ty struck out one of his eyes. That they then left
him, hut were soon apprized, that he was yet liiing;
they returned to their work of blood, and again re&
tired,under the persuasion that he had breathed his last.
That they were still disappointed, and although the
armaturel wife pressed the man to go and make a
finish of his master, he said he could not resumelhe
task ; and he absolutely refused, until she found an
expedient to remove his scruples, by furnishing hiM
with k razor, to cut hie throat ! It *as then the
work was completed. He stated, that he had been
urged to the horrid deed by his mistress, who wanted
him to marry her. Immediatoly on Ibis confession,
the constable unlocked the handcuffs with which he
had locked himself to the Prisoner, fastened the lat-
ter by the same instruments to an assistant he had

Mi..PARIL moved for a_ rule to shew cause why
the verdict for the Plaintiff in this case should not be
set *side, and a new. trial granted. The case was
tiled before bis Lordship at the Sittings after last
Term at Cuildhall. It was an action on a promisso-
ry; note, by a person of the name of Finny, by
which he promised to pay George Manners, the pre-
Seat Defendant, 1011. 15s. sd. three months•after
dati, which was the 11th of October. The note of
course became due on the 14th of January. On the*.
10th of that month, the Bill having been paid by Mr.
Maude, the Army Agent, into the hands of Messrs.
Masterman, the Bankers, Isomebody, it did.not ap-
pear who, called and -took it up. 'The Defendant
being the payee of the Bill, was only liable in the
secomd instance. - He had a right, therefore, to con-
tend that the Bill being thus paid, he was discharged
front' all liability under it,.and that it could not *
re-issued without a new stamp. If this were to be
tolerated, it might be converted into an engine against
the Creditor by any friend of the Debtor's. •
Lord ELLENsolcouGif said -this MRS not a re.isstopy
ing, but a new purchase. If the holder. of a bill
chose to give that bill to aaother, he-gave along with
it every right which in respect If' that bill previously
'listed himself. A re-isenlm
