COURT OP KING'S BENCH.
TUZ JUNO V. JACK-SOX AND OTHERS.
This was an indictment against Geo-ge Jackson, the
younger, George Jackson, the elder, and Henry Jarvis,
for a conspiracy to sue out • fraudulent Commission
of Bankruptcy against the said George Jackson, the
younger, with a viewlo defraud Fox, the pro-
iteentor, of a just debt, which he bad recovered from the
bankrupt.
. This case has been already often before the public
in various legal proceeding within the last five years.
It has been the subject of two actions—a formerindict-
ment for perjury against th same parties, but abandoned,
• however, by the same prosecntor—a bill in Chancery
now undecided, a former trial for conspiracy in which
there was a verdict against the defendant!; hat in con-
sequence of important evidence discovered by the de-
fendaote subsequently to that verdict, the Court on mo-
tion granted a new trial, which came on this day, and
occupied the Court from its opening until four o'clock.
Me. SCARLETT addressed the Jury. The Learned
Counsel, after explaining the law of conspiracy, and
showing how far it applied to the present case, proceed-
ed to the facts which were shortly these. Fox, the pro-
secutor, kept a medical establishment in Bishopsgate-
street, which he was desirous to dispose of. Having
made his intentions known to an agent, he was by him
introdneWd to young Jackson. one of the defendants,
who seemed disposed to become a purchaser. It was
first agreed that Jackson was to give a certain sum for
bait the business, but Fox subsequently gave up 'all to
him, and received as security, • bond to guarantee the
payment of the remaining purchase money. After some
time the badness berm, to fall off, and Jackson's friends
were led to think that too much bad been given for the
f~ooood will of this concern. When the bond. therefore,
beta e due, there was a great disinclination to satisfy it,
and Fox was obliged to put it into suit. A judgment
was entered up, and execution issued, which upon •
certain day, was pat into young Jackson's house. A
COOSlCiefiell of Bankrupt, however, was sued out
*Out imbue. coder which his father, who lived in
the country, proved for 20001., and Jervis, his father-in-
law, for a very considerable sum also. This was the
Commission which it was uid was fraudulently obtained,
'as it was alleged that the elder Jackson claimed a much
larger sem than was actuallydne to him, in order to de-
fraud Fox. Upon the former trial, which took place
la this Comet, the defendants were fund guilty upon
this charge of conspiracy, but the Court granted a new
t-ial, upon the statement of the defendant's Counsel,
that they had since that trial procured better means
of estahlishing•the elder Jecksozi s debt. It was under
these circumstances the present indictment was pre-
ferred.
The judgment recovered by Fox against Jackson, was
read is evidence, as well as the execution of fi.
.14. and
the seizure under it by the Sheriff's officer.
The articles of partnership between the parties, and
deed of assignment of good will of the pennises were
read.
Mr. Fox, the prosecutor, was then examined at great
length. He stated in detail all the circumstances of his
cennectioo with the defendants. His evidence was di-
rected to prove a concerted plan between the defendants
in ening out this commission.
On cross-examination, he admitted that he had said
he would hare legal revenge ofJackson.
The next material witness was Mr. Fairborn the at-
torney, who bad conducted the proceedings in Jack-
son's bankruptcy. The commission was dated Jaly 4,
lnl7. Jackson, the father, proved debts to the amount
of 2,0441. The instructions fur the affidavit were in
Jarvis's hand writing. The whole amount of debts
proved was 3,6051. Jackson the elder and Jarvis were
the assignees. The bankrupt was opposed in his final
examination by Counsel, but Fox did not petition the
Lord Chancellor either against the allowance of his as-
signees or of his certificate.
Edwin Chadwick, clerk to the last witness, said he
was employed by the defendants to go about to the
cteditors of Jackson, anti promise them the payment of
their debts, if they signed Jackson's certificate.
(in cross-examination, the witness admitted that lie
had received from time to time, 1201. from Fox. tie

bond, and condemned to fourteen days imprisonment.—

ject, laying before his Majesty his poverty, and praying
to be released.
Se lof Jackson's creditors more that they bad
been promised payment of their debts by the last wit-
tier+, if they signed the certificate.
The SOLICI7OII-011:46RAL, for the defendants, ad-
demised the Jury.commenting upon the improbability of
this charge against them, front their known good cha-
racters. He adverted to the threats of revenge held
cut by Fos. and observed that the present prosecution
was quite in character with that vindictive spi•it which
pad kept legal proceedings hanging over the heals of
these 'unfortunate men since the year 1811., He con-
tended that Chadwick was.utaworthy of credit, and that
the prosecutioa one 'tam' or fall with him. It was no
crime lot a °umber of creditors to concert a Coinmiesion
of Bankruptcy against a peryon in trade, if any one
ereoitur put an execntioe upon his property, which
would sweep it all away, and so defeat the other rte.
Oitors of their claims. In this case the execution of
Fox would rover all the property, to the prelndice of
the other creditors. There was no doubt et Jackson
being a proper person to he made a bankrupt, and the
only questioa therefore was, whether ur not his father
was a creditor capable of striking the docket against
biro. if the claim which be advanced was unfounded,
the prosecutor might hare canvassed it before the Com-
inisnonerspf Bankrapt, or subsequently petitioned the
Lord ChatioeflOragainet the allowance of the assignees,
sod that would have brotight the cue fairly to an issue

which could' be Mitch 'to aleettattl isdiethai the hither was
a bona fide creditor of the son or not. The debt was
allowed by the Commissioners of gankrupt, and waa not
petitioned against by the prosecutor, and there was,
therefore, a presumption that it was not unfounded.
The Learned Counsel then went on to argue upon the
probability of the loans of money from father to sett,
which made up this debt of ?NO/. The father bad •
large family and a moderate income, whilst the son had
a property of his own; and it was therefore reasonable
that he should charge him with the sums which be ad-
vanced to him. The son was at great expense whilst
lie was in London attending hospitals, and had incurred
other expenses. All these, as he bad a property of his
own, it was reasonable his father should charge him
with. The Learned Counsel concluded by advert-
ing to the respectable characters of the defendants, and
trusted that these. together with the strong circum-
stances in their favour, and the avowed hostility of Fox,
wouldsvindicate them from the foul charges of conspi-
racy and perjury which were now preferred against
them.
The CHM, JUSTICg sommed up the whole of the evi-
dence to the Jury, leaving it entirely to them to say.
whether they were of opinion that the sums advanced,
or said to be advanced, by the father to the son, were
bona fide loans, or made oat solely for the pnrpose of
defrauding the prosecotor of theiclaim which he bad by
law established against the bankrupt.
The Jury, without any hesitation, found the defend.
ants—Not Guilty.

THEATRICAL CONTRACT—BEDIFORP T- BUNN.
Mr. Marryat stated that this was an action brought
by Miss Green (now Mrs. Bedford) against .Ir. Bunn,
the Manager of the Birmingham Theatre, for the reco-
very of a sum of 371. which was due to her out of the
amount of an engagement secured to her by Mr. Bunn
Site was to perform for 30 nights at Birmingham, and
to receive 101. a week, and a benefit secured to produce
501. The benefit, very unfortunately, produced only
thirteen pounds, and for the balance this action was
brought.
Mrs. Green, the mother of the actress, proved the
contract on the part of Mr. Bann to give her daughter
a benefit, which was secured to produce at least 501. and
which only prbduced 131.
In her cross•examination, she admitted that her daugh-
ter was taken ill at Birmingham, and in consequence
her benefit was postponed, and that which was substi-
tuted for it was unproductive.
Mr. Scarlett, for the Defendant, said, be was prepar-
ed to prove that Mr. bishop, not Miss Green, was the
real plaintiff in the cause ; and he assigned as the rea-,
son for the reduced amount of Miss Green's benefit, thei
circumstance of her indisposition, for which it would lie.
unreasonable the manager should suffer, in addition to
what he had already suffered by her inability to sing
on some of the other evenings during her engage-
ment.
A letter from Mr. Bedford, the husband of Miss
Green, to Mr.,Bann was read, in aid& Mr. Bedford
said his wife had no concern in the present action, and
that it was altogether Mr. Bishop's, through whom Miss
Green had been engaged at Birmingham. The writer
also warmly congratulated Mr. Bunn on the &access
of his famous " Tom and Jerry."
Mrs. Ingram (formerly Miss Fisher) said she was en-
gaged at Birmingham io the season of 1521. She re.
membered Miss Green's engagement at the same Thea-
tre, and her illness during the g part of that pe-
riod, so as to be unable to sing, except with great pain.
She could not play for 1 nights. and apologies•
were made for her being unable to perform thrmigh ill-
ness. When Miss Green's benefit was &snowed on the
last night of her performance, aed en immense house
was expected, to me Guy Mannering, but her illegal
caused the postpoietweet of the play, ate. Waslefk In
the Glen was substituted for it, and theri was, owing to
the disappointment. a selectable house.. Witness was
to have played Meg Weenies on the night of the poet-
ponement.
Mrs. Wa3 lett said, that she was also engaged at ,the
Birmingham theatre when Miss Green came there, and
remembered that lady's indisposition, and consequent
inability to perform un some particular occasion.
Richard Collier, proprietor at the Birmingham Thea-
tre, anal occasionally performer, proved Miss Green's ill-
ness, so as to be unable to admit her performance ea
specific nights. Apologies werej often made for her. and
he remembered a Farce being changed to Fortone'ePro-
lie, as she could not sing.. At 2 o'clock on the darof
her benefit, she had it changed, owing to her illness, cad
the house was a poor one. The house would hold two
hundred pounds.
Mr. Bellamy, an Apothecary at Birmingham, proved
the fact of Miss Green's indisposition, which had pre-
vented her from singing at her benefit ; could she have
performed at that time, she expected a very full attend-
ance. She was also unable to sing on the night when
her subsequent benefit took place.
The Lord Chief JUSTICE summed tin the evideoce to
he Jury, who returned a verdict fur the Plaintiff for
Ling seven pounds.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, IVIIDNDSDAT, Dec. 11.
• (Sitting* its itmtlutc)
FROST e. ISINGOUGH.
This was an action to recover the amount of a bill of
exchange for 301 given by the defendant in 1816. The
defendant is a member of the dramatic corps of one of
the winter theatres. The defence to the action was the
statute of limitations, by which the plaintiff's claim was
barred (more than six gears having,elapsed since the
defendant had admit ted.the debt).
The plaintiff How brought a letter tii4him from the de•
fendant4n 1817, in which he stated, that if he succeeded
in Liverpool, he shook] see him soon after in Bristol,
and that at all events he would arrange with him as well
as he could.
The defendant's hand-writing to the bill was also
proved.
Mr. Sergeant Vaunnax, for the defendant, contended
that the evidence was not sufficient to take the case out
of the statute of limitations, and therefore the plaintiff
could not recover.
The Jury thought the letter produced referred to the
hill, and returned a verdict for the plaintiff for the
amount of the bill and the interest.

Crean. Burton, and Hough, the four persons who had
been tried the preceding day for conspiring together to
carry away the materials of the Old W bite Hart public-
house, and acquitted on that charge, were tried for the
riot rod assault. It appeared, however, that the parties
who had come to prevent jinni from taking away the
property, and who were the prosecutors, had first at.
tacked them, and, therefore, in point of law, committed
the tint assault.. They were, therefore, acquitted.

been robbipg kits' for months, and he must not go away
gain he was searched. On that the prisoner palled nut
the piece from his pocket, and said, " here it is.'"f he
valve of the piece was 18.9 d.
On cross mienination hr Mr. AnAntm, the witness
said that. 'hiring his absence for three weeks, when lie
went to Paris, he had entrusted the prisoner with the
management of his business, and that the prisoner lived
with him near a twelvetuotith ; he had said to any
one that the prisoner was going to be married, and in-
tended to set up in business in opposition to witness.
The prisoner did not say that the bit of cloth had been
intended by him for the waistband of the pantaloons,
which lie had forgot to give to the workman.
Aiad who was apprentice to Harris, gave a similar
statement with that of his toaster.

Mr. ARASIN, on behalf of the prisoner, call:3 a wit-
ness named Eld.•joarneyman tailor, who said be re-
ceived the pantaloons from the prisoner to make them
up ; and there was a deficiency of cloth to complete the
waistband. He went to Harris to tell him of this, and
Harris said the prisoner was Ening to him aids a piece
of cloth to make up the deficiency. Witness never male

Mr. Atte! afterwards called a tailor, who said the
prisoner had confessed to him that he took the cloth es

Several respectable persons goer the prisoner an es•

The CHAIRMAN said, it was lamentable that a deceit
young man like the prisoner, 'lmola risk his character
for so trumpery a thing as this, and he thought Mr.
Harris might as well have forebore this prosecution ;
bat at the same time be thought the prosecutor had a
right to bring the prisoner there if be chose. If the
jury had any doubt oldie prisoner's inteutisen to steal,
his character must weigh wi h them.
The jury found the prisoner not guilty.
The I.:teammate; expressed his sattsfasion at the vet,
diet, hot at the same time wished the prisoner and all
other tailor's servants to understand, that they hail no
right to take away any pieces or bits of cloth, tinder a
lotion that they were perquisites. The law held such
an act to be a felonyl

advertised in a Morning Paper to be sold for Will. He
understood the prisoner was a lawyer, and that be had

POLICE,
M VCSION-ROUSC—A man named Dunmore was/
brought before the Lord Mayor, yesterday, on a charge
of having become improperly possessed of a 501, two
10!., and two St notes, the property of Mr. Ashmore, of;
Catler-street, who had lost them either by accident or II
a thief.
Mr. Ashmore stated, that on or about the !nth of Nov.l
he lost the above sum, together Wass bullies's cheque
for 201., all of which be carried in his fob, into uhich
he bad put his watch as a greater security to the ootes.
There was, however, a hole, as he ,found afterwsrils at
the bottom of the fob, through which, he :supposed, the s
property had slipped out. In what manner soever it,
was lost, certain it was, that though he had offered a
reward of 201. for the notes, he heed no tidings of them
until Tuesday, when he was informed that the 30!. note
bad been offered at a Lottery Office, for the payment of
a sixteenth. It was then traced to the prisoner. who
said he had found it with two SI. notes, and fl piece of

stated that she bad advised the prisoner to look for a
reward in the papers, and told ham he would no doubt
get it. He did so, but finding no notice of the loss, she
advised him to get rid of the money gradually in an
honest way. He accordingly took some things out of
pawn, sod having thee disposed of the two W. notes,
he began to think of the best way of getting rid of the
501. note.
The Lord Mayor said he had been eery badly advised
by Mrs. Bates, and remanded him fur further examina-
tion.—His Lordship oh d, that the guilt of appro-
priating money under such circumstances,was little short
of that of robbery.
