Itie Six Ulerks in Chancery present their complirents to tite Editor of Tke Times. and request that he wiU insert as early as possiblc the enclo3ed paragraph, in explanatlon of an enroneoug statement which-inadvertently (as they imagine)_found its sray into Thc Tners on Thursdav, the 4th day of November instaOL THE SIX CLERES RV C}IANCEPRY. W e are requested ta correct a statemrent thich appearedl in our paper of Thursdaj,, Nov. 4, purporting to be observations made by the Lord Ciancellor on the conduct of the Six Clerls in Chancery. We find, in fact, that the Lorl Chanceller did not make any such remarkq as we have stated regarding these ofH"ce s nor could he hare done so, as thednties alluded to by his, Lordship, and comn. mented on by hitn, are of a nature totally distitsct from tbose ex- ercised by the Six Clerks in Chanecry. It is not their duty ever to attend the Al-sters in Chancery; they do not act au solicitors- they do not employ an agent to manage their butiness, nor do they have any communication with the suitors of the Court, or the Folci._ tors employed by them.

Itvery one 'can bring Zo.mid iistances of the injustice eften resulting in this coantry from the operation of lo- cal acts of Parliament, more especiaUly when the purpose of such acts is to institute or to regulate'a demand of money from the people; and still ftirther, -whetn it is attempted! to invigorate the law.by a systematic misconstruietion of its powers. The town and neighbourbood of Southampton, among other places, have afforded us matter.for tho above rernarlt. Vhe Commissioner.s of that port have appliced. for. -an act of Parliament to eniable them, as it wsuld seen, to do that by laW, whichl in the teith of the.law, they have ieng been aecustomned -to pe-petrite-_inmely, to inflict cer-' Min rates and iluties -li thcornmmdree of the port of South- xnt*ttoro wbich rites, &c., .h& been declared illegal by a decision df the Court o.

The Times, 1824-12-06T00:00:00

Of that sort of fame which alone he seems qualified to relish, the uoble Governor of our colony at the Cape of Good Hope is likely, we suspect, to reap a very plentiful harvest. Some numbers of the newspaper edited under his Lordship's auspices, andl published in September last, are now befGre us; and ameng those of their contents which bear the sanctionof Lord CHARLES SOM ERSET, are two articles characteristic enough of the spirit of his Excellency s administration. One is a manifesto, offering a reward of 5oo rix-lollars for the apprehenision of EDWARDS, whose case has been frequently before our readers, and who had been so wicked as to run away from his gaolers when they were carrying him off to be transported. Because he. strove to hide himself, and escape the cffect of* this most lenient and salutary judgment, the above reward was offered by the noble Governor for his re-capture ; and, as we learn froml the wor(ds of the proclarmation itself, extraor- dinary methods -wereemployed to have it promulgated throiugh every part of the Hottentot world. Poor nDW ARDS was in fact re-taken. His attempt afterwards to destroy himself in con- sequence of the determination of the Governor to carry the sentence into 4ffect, has been already mentionedl. The second article in these papors to which we shall refer is, a Govern- ment advertisemnent, specifying certain lots of property- to wit, old buildling materials for sale, and directing ap- plication for particalars to be made-to wvhom, Oh, reader? Why, to the Government Inspector, one Mr. WILLIAIt JONES. Anid wlho may this Mr. WILLIA,f JONEs have beefn, wlhen hearing his proper appellation ? No other than a Mr. OLIVER, who had exercised a different species of inspection untler His MAJESTY'S Government in this country-being, indeed, the famous Oliver the S.,y! Forthisdelectableproteg6 of tlheLord CHARLES, it is reported to us that two or thrce places have been actually created, and one of the places bearing close alliance to the inquisitorial nature of his first profesaion; for by it he is enabled to prevent the slightest alteration or improve- ment on the premises of aniy of His 'MAJESTY'S subjects in South Africa,nay, the drivingof a single nail into the wall- until he shall think proper to sanction such important, per- haps dangepous, undertakinigs ; that is, until he shall have exacted his surveyor's fee. Verily Lord CHARLES is a monstrous goo(I Governior, and Mr. OLJVER is, to His Ex- cellency, a mighty suitable subject.

This action was brought by Sir James Bland Lamb to recover the price of a horse returned by him to the defendant, and the expense of his keep. MIr. SCARILETT saidl, this case supplied an example of an inge. nious method adopted of late years for the sale of unseund horses. A person assuming the appearance of an officer, or gentleman of fortune, advertised the sale of his stud; anid removed all scrtuples from the minds of parties who were desirous of purchasing, by en- gaging to take back the horses and return the money if they shou'd not be approved on trial. lWlhen, however, the parties discovered that the horses were unsound, and attempted to return them, they could not find the gentleman with whom they had contracted, and were obliged to bear the loss. The plaintifF', attracted by an adver- tisement in the Morning Post, had purch ased a horse for 80 guineas on a contraet of return; the hiorse proved unsound, and then he could obtain no money from the seller. It was proved that the sale was on condition of return ; that the horse was tendered; but that no party would receive him or repay the price. No def'ence woas nffered, ant the Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff-Damages, 1001. SOLOMO10N V. GENESSE. This was an action for an assault at the Harp Tavern, Russell- street, between parties of the Jewish persuasion. Some tlispute arose respecting a bill of exchan,'e on the 25th of October, and Mh.

The Times, 1824-04-07T00:00:00

The chief feature an the politicsot the country which we have to present to-day, is the n6w constantly expected schedule of the, revenue for thlt year ana the quaric"r just ended; together with that for the year anti quarter pre-. ceding, whereby the increase or -diminution may be-at onte glance perceived. WVe are far from quarrelling with our improving condition: we feel and rejoice in' if. Yet do these documents rather tend to show- the extrenelvy op- pressive nature of the taxes which we have b.en made to. endure, than any alleviation' which we have bitherro re- ceived; for it appears that, notwithstanding thie romis- sioIl of taxes year after year, the renewLed diminution of the old taxes still produces a falling off in the re- venue. The amelioration of the condition of the people lhas never yet been so great as to enable them to conpensate to the revenue, by in-reased consumption, for the reduction' of the imposts; and yet, till this takes place, we must still bc sa-X to be in an unnatural state with regard to taxation The decrease in the taxes for the last year is above a million, and for the last quarter above a quarter of a miV lion. In the Customs, there is an excess for the year-and. quarter just ended - but in the Excise, the advantage is painfully in favour ef 1S23. Neither is the improvement in the Customs rnearly equivalen t to the decline in the Ex-. cise. It is pitiful to observe the mnanner in which the Austrian composition is twisted, to fill up every gap. Mfille habet ornatus.--we cannot add, mille decenter k6het. First, there are two millions and a half put dbwn as a part of the year's revenue, of which there are 1,733,333s credited to the last quarter. Wlhen was the differrc -ee between 2,500,0001. and 1,733,3331. a-counted for ? Was the sum burted under the head ot " Miscellaneous," in the last quarter's retnrn ? Certain it is that no such wvord as,. " Austrian Loan" appears in that statement. We confess, too, we were surprised to see the whlole sum of two' millions and a halt put down as rect-ived. Was so much received ? And was nr,thing deducted for dis- count? Yet, wvith the twvo millions and a half so credited as received, the revenue of last year only execeds the re- venue of 1823, by 9S8,6151. In other words, without the Austrian repayment, the revenue of last year falls below that of the preceding year, by upwards of a million and a half.

Insolvent Debtors' Court,...
The Times, 1824-07-12T00:00:00

This day, Ratclipj and Robert Rowland (brothers and partners) were brought up to receive the judgment of the Court, their cases having been investfgated so far back as the 30th of Alarch last. It then appeared that the insolvents carried on the businesses of casmen and coachr-masters in Black Horse-yard, Tottenham-court-road, and at Percy-mews, Rathbone.place, and that being embarrassed,they, according to their statements, borrowved money to a considerable amount of a AIr. Braisher, a near relation, and to secure the ad- vances made, they (or one of them) gave a warrant of attorney or bill of sale, to enable him, as he saw fit, to put in his execution. It was hene contended, that they had been guilty of an undue preference, supposing thatthe moneyhad been absolutely advanced, of which there seemed apparent doubt; therefore the onus lay with them to produce Air. Braisher to explain to the Court touching the transfer of the said property; and, without dismissing the petition, the Court ordered the case to be adjourned sinje die. Not having complied with the order of the Court in this particular, Mr. HEATH prayed the Court to pronounce its judgment on the case, whici prayer ALr. POLLOCK could not resist. but he felt it his duty to state, that the absence of Braisher arose from illness, and not from disobedience. The COURT observed, that the petitioners having neglected to explain certain matters relative to the transaction between them and Braisher, whose evidence, either oral or parole, they might have produced, the inference was, that had he been present, or filed his affldavit of the facts, he would not have gone far enough to ex- culpate the insolvents from the undue preference, as had been pro. pernyarguedby the learned counsel for the complainants. Under all the sircumetances, therefore, the judgment of the Court was, that they severally be remanded for 12 calendar months, and during that period he confined within the walls of the prison, for fraudulently making away with property with a view to diminish the dividend.

He went on board the ship, and was intbrmed by the Cantain that they were bound from Limsa to Cadiz; but whist his boat lay alongside, the crew of the line-of-battle ship told his men that they were nine weeks from Cadiz, and expected to be joined by two frigates from the same, quarter, and then proceed up the coast of Chili and Peru to Lima.
