DEN6HAM V. STREET. Oor readers will lecolleet that a sum t time back two young men. 114111 Pd Horatio and Reeves, were coai uuucd the Fleet Prison, for a contempt of Court, in the case of Miss Di sisilfa Street: tile reillicr car ried off a ward of the Conn, and the hiller by hating lent 111411 assistance in the eutei prise. One day last week, Mr. Hari asked his Lordship to appoint a day fur hearing awe petitions in this case—the first from M rs. Stu eet, the mo ther of the ward, praying that she might have access to her daughter, which had been prohibited by an order of the Court ; the second trout tile hiothei ut Houdin', pay to be released from contras-mem, oil the ground that 11 had produced and was producing the most fatal cons°. queues.* out has coustitutiou: this petition was backed by au affidavit from a medical gentleman. The Lord Cildll4 cellos named to-day for the nearing ui the petitions, and, by the desire of the cuminl on both sides, the case was argued in his Lordship's private room. The stank we understood to be this—that the petition of Mrs. Street was rejected, and tile prayer of that of the brother of Horatio granted, 'spoil condition that the petitioner was to have nu Communication whis;ever with Miss Drnsilla Street. IN THE MATTER OF BOYLE, ♦ BANKRUPT. Mr. Montague, in moving that the sou tttttt lbsloll of bank ruptcy which had been issued against Mr. Boyle might be supei seded, stated the following rather start.' i-ing facts 'rite bankrupt had, virally by ills own exertious, paid off debit against the estate to the amoral!. of? I 9,00J1. There were now only two unclaimed darts M 11141111144 amount ing to only 1 t,OUtfl., to satisfy which the assignees had mule than sufficient affects ha their hand*. The Lord Cimneellue said, that if the commission were to be superseded, h west be %lumen prejudice to line two outstanitiog claims or to the acts which had been dune by the a-signers under the commission. Mr. sliadaehh, on the part of the assignees, said, he was Instructed not only nut to oppose ;he mution, but to stale plibLely trait fits elicits coasidered themselves ler the pettiest obligation to Mi. lloy le, to a huse exertions it was owing, that after saiisfyitig all claims against the estate, there now remained a surplus of titni,oom. Tile Lord Chancellor, oil :panting flue inotiois,observed, that t i. WAS worth all the bankruptcies lie ever beard ut lit his life. IN THE MATTER OF THE EARL OF PORTSMOUTH. The Attorney-Geneial said, that certain :Minimss had been tiled ea the part of his clients winch he was desirous that his Lot dsliip Mould peruse. The Lord Chancellor.—Saul them to me, and then 1 shall he able to judge what time will be necessary to ena ble the other side to reply to them. The Attorney-General thought that if his Lordship read the affidavits, particiffaily those of four medical men, he would be oft/pinion that this wilt a most important case. The Lord thancellor.-1 wish to God that any other person had jurisdiction to try this case than myself; 1 cannot Intact what occurred frame, ly, %lieu affidavits sufficient to convince any man of a fact were all dis proved. Mr. Haul complained that lie had been furnished with copies of only a part of the affidavits to which the Attor ney-General had alluded. Thum what lie had seen of hose which hail come raider his notice, however, he thought it might be his duty to refer theirs to tile Master, in under to ascei tom ts twiner teleell,iva it dections which they contained upon !raid parties in no way connectud with the suit, should not be expunged. Me. Wetherell was of opinion that the conduct of third patties would be found very mate' idi to the case. The Lord Chancellor said that it might he a question whether the IS lamer to *high the Ell of Poriatioeth - THE NATIONAL ItEnINTER li , ed with other persons was not indicative of the state of W. mind. Some desultory and unimportant conversation here took place between the different r I engaged in the case, in the course of which Mr. Heald spoke of the Earl 01 Pertaincinth as an alleged lunatic. The Lord Chancellor, alto had not heard the former word, begged that counsel would not call the Ertl a luna tic. Hr knew well , that when lie had furinvoly occasion lo try whether he or the Earl were the best arithmetician, his Lordship heat hint (the Chancellor) all to nothing. His Lord.hip then directed that copies of the affidavits should he gisrti to Mr. Heald, and that the otiyival. should be sent to hint uo this day week. Voltce. BOW STREET. THIS KING V. 13;001C11.—Y11119CaSe came on far a final hearing, before Sir Itlcliard 13iroie, on Monday last, aml occupied almost the entire te• g• The office as on the farmer occasiuus, was crowded almost to sutbsca -114111. Mr. Platt appesrell as Counsel for the priinner, and at his r.•qucst the whole of the evidence already taken was read over. Mr. Alley then shortly stated the grounds of his opi. Moo, that the crime charged upon the prisoner amounted to lorgery, and suited that lie ha considered the points mote minutely since the last txaminatioti, but he was still, mid should be if lie considered until doomsday, of tile saute opinion, Wan respect to the law of the case. Mr. Ward a tradesman, residing at No. 6, Clare. street,Clare.market, deposed, that on the day before the prisoner was to appear upon a su 11111 l ons before Mr. Jos bee liar, to produce the check in question, lie (Brookes) called main witness, and producing a check, with " 1s in. CI irke“ indorsed upon the back, asked lion if that was Clarke's hand-writing, and he replied in the affirmative. Brookes said lie nittlerstood witness was going before the the Judge, to he examined, and told 111111 to 011111: what he said, for, " so help him Untl," Clarke had r. ceived tile !hooey fur which the signature purported to be a receipt. A copy oldie check, alleged to be forged, was handed to the witness; lie said it was a copy ui the one WiliCil Brookes shevved hint, when he asked respecting the hand-writing. In cross-examination by Mr. 1 ) 1.11, lie said that - Clarke callt.l upon him alsaut a fortnialit before his ititervieW With Brookes, and asked him if he could prove his hand writing, and lie said lie could, having known Clarke for 20 years, and often seen him write. Mr. Piatt said it was illll/2(Jlite upon a prosecouir to produce the very best evidence that could be funnel, and that had not been done in die preach instance. A search ought to have been made for this check, and the other side had had ample opportunity of doing so. it was not enough to say that the check had been destroyed— ( Vdeuce of that fact ought to be adduced. Tne it, xt ob jection which presented itself was; as to the itaiiire in tile ins; r 111 l ent : and he should contend that it was situ such a one as came within the statute. It was not a receipt, but merely a memorandum. The third and last ohjectiou was, that the other sole ought to have produced the Banker's Clerk win, paid slur check, in mull r 10 prove whether or 1101 it bore the indorsement of Ciatke on it at the time it was presented; because, if it did, it would be strong evidetice indeed in fat our of the prisoner. Sir it Biritie observed, with respect to the first objec tion tutted by Mr. Plait, that lie was aware there had beet, cases, particularly that of the King v. Scott (cited at the last exa 11l ill Mon), which had tailed on account of the non-production of the oriental document, but then it was because the document had been destroyed by other hands than those of the accused.-11 ere the instrument was alleizeil to be destroyed by the prisoner hintselt, and the evidence to that point was his own declaration. Mr. Alley said, lie should give notice its the usual way, to the prisoner, to produce the cheque upon the trial, and on his failing to 110 so, the copy winch had Infra' produced would be stillicteut evidence, lie there fore prayed for the lull commitment of the prisoner. Sir R. Bimnie ordered die prisoner to be oily co 11111 l inert to Nevegate to take his nal, and the wi!tiessts are baund to prowente.

WORSHIP-STREET. Tue Rev. Wu. EYRE —Tile prisolier was on Tht,rs day brought to thus office for final examination. About one o'clock, G. R. Esq. rme of the police ma gistrates of Bow.street, arrived, being also a magistrate for the county of Buckingham. 1 be examination then took place in the parlour, be fore this and two other magistrates, Samuel Twyford and Julio Mitward, lisrps. Mr. Wilks, as solicitor, appeared on the part of the parish of St. Luke, and :Mr. Alley, as counsel, attended with Mr. liaroter's clerk on the part of the prisoner. Mr. Mitishull expressed how very unpleasant it was for hint to appear at this office. His duties were so litany, and of such responsibility at the office for which lie was appointed, that ire would have gladly declined the disagreeable task he had subjected himself to upon the present occasion. Still, in lititheratice of public justice, and its due and convenient ad ii iii nitration, lie complied with the request for his attendance here as a Bucking hamshire magistrate. The whole of the evidence taketron a former day be fore Mr. Twyford was then read by the clerk, and ria the wilaiesses, excep , Johanna Qllllll3ll, the little girl, confirmed the testimony they had before given. The little girl was then exauVated de noes. and her evidence, with some variation trout her Moho testininoy, went to prove the crime alleged against the prisoner. She cried very much, and seemed very sensible of the jitilicions remarks which were made to her, preceding her taking the oath. Aber same discussion which took place livween Mr. Woks and \lr. Airy, as in the nature of the (driller, whether it was a CJI/Ilal olf...tice, muter the statute of Elizabeth, or only a misdemeanour at continuo law, M r. M11101(111 said, he snout(' ierpe•st that Mr. IVilks would withdraw with Itie rept esentatiSes of the parish and de liberately consider whet her it teat their ititention to in dict for the capital Mience or tor the ni sileineanoitr. they were entitled to indict according to their own determination, but, as a magistrate, it was fur 1 • to commit according to his own discretion. Mr. IVilks :hen retired with the citurchwardens and overseers ill the parish, and boon afterwaids returtied. Mr. liiisholl.-11,tee you, sir, consulted with the persons on whose part you are employed; soul after deli. berate consideration, have they decided, with your ad s ice, whetuier they intend to indict for the capital offence or fur tile ilioldrilleatlOUr? Mr. ‘Vilki.--I have consulted with the churchwar dens and overseers, and, concurring with lily advice, however paiwul it is to their and my own feelings, the determination is to itidict for the capital offence. Mr. Alley rose, and expressed his regret that he should have been applied to professionally upon a sub ject of this description. lie would rather have given twenty guineas than have been employed as counsel on the present occasion. It was true, that evvry matt was presumed to be innocent uuul Wood guilty; aliti there lure it was his duty to deteild his diem, and he must say, upon his honour, he did not wink the evidence sufficient to commit tor the capital offence. Mr. Minsittill observed, that alier hearing the deter mination of the parish, with the advice of their so competent to direct this prosection, that they had dccaleut to indict for the capital Gifflice, he had to “is ' eretion as a magistrate bin to cut iiiii it fur if . _..peal offence. Mr. Nlinshull then proposed it to the choice of the prisoner, whellicr he would be commuted u uutse county gaol of Ilockilighaiii, lit to Nitia•tiCOnlinitteu • prison Middlesex; allti, slier coosulting w th Mr. I)yer, jun., the prisoner stated his wish to be coominted to New:Aate. Mr. Minshull said, that its case of commitment to Newgate, he could only commit as a Middlesex magis trate, 'and therefore he trusted that Mr. Twyford would sign the commitment. Mr. Twylord said, he still remained unconvinced of the legality of his committing to Newgate for An offence dune in another comity, to which his commission did not extend, but he would, on this occasion, comply, on account of the practice so tong used, and acted upon at the police offices. The prisoner was then committed to Newgate for CHILD-DROPPING. —A fine Child. about five years old, WaS the other evening f lat the end of Porto -11:11a-pas•age, Lisle-street, Leicester-square, havina been deserted by its unnatural parent.
