CHARGE AGAINST A PROCESE-SERVER. On Tuesday Mr. Palgtave, solicitor, appeared before Mr. Rushton to prefer a complaint against one of the officers of the court, of the name of Dutton, for having served the Captain of the Coquette with a summons intended for Captain Norrev, of the Catherine, and with having subsequently proceeded ti enforce a warrant against the latter captain. It appeared that the summons had been issued against Cap. Norrey for not keeping the proper watch at I,ight on ihe deck of his vessel. To prove the charge against the cflicer James Miller, master of the William and Agnes, of Dunbar, was called ; and he deposed that the summons against the Captain of The Catherine had been served upon the captain of the Coquette, with whose name he was unacquainted. Dutton, in his defence, distinctly stated that he had served Captain Norrey, whom he described as one of the youngest Scotch captains he had ever seen in command of a ship, and that he knew him perfectly well, so that was the third time he had occasion to serve him with a summons. He had tapped him on the shoulder and said, " Here's another summons for you ;" immediately upon which Captain Norry observed to a bystander that that was the third time he had been similarly served. Mr. Rushton said he was quite satisfied the service had been correctly performed, and that he should enforce the warrant.
