This beer would only be drank by individuals who drank the small beer made at present, which was literally worth nothing. Mr. W. SMITH objected to the bill, which would go to rise up a class of individuals injurious to the brewer, who bail a great capital rduplityed, and could not withdrew it. Ald.

PERJURY. THE. RINC V. T. DIGNOLD, SI:N. ESQ. The Solicitor-General, mo.ed for a role to show rause why there should not be a new trial or an arrest or judgment. The learned gentleman referred to the pleadings which set tbrth the tool onnents uf pespory, namely, that he (Ilignold) had net er executed a deed conthinbig a clause that lie should pay over and advance the sons of 10,0001. to he invested in the bands of trustees, and which should form the fonds of the then pro jected Natiorml Assurance Company. Mr. Ilignold only swore that !litre was no such clause contained in a draft in his pos session of the deed in question ; and the rase went to the Jury upon the question whether these. wurds-.-" and dues ?straw agree to advance"—were contained in the deed when executed by Mr. Llign, Id. Lord Chief Jurtice.—And it went to the Jury also upon other points ; one was whether the defendant had promised to inve►i the 10,0001. or only to guarantee it. The Solicitor. General proceeded.—The bill in Chancery had nothing to do with the 10,0001.; therefore what the defendant had sworn with respect to the 10,0001. was not material to the issue of that bill. Lord Chief Justice.—We see enough in your objection (Mr. Solicitor-General) to grant a rule Nisi' fur a new trial, or in arrest of judgment. TREIDAY, APRIL RC FLEMMING v. PLATT AND OTRF.TIS. Mr. Campbell moved for a rule to show cause why the ♦er diet in this cane aliould mit be set aside sod a new trial grant ed. it was an action tried before Mr. Baron Carrow at the last assizes for the county of Norfolk, in which the jury gave 2dl. damages; hot in which he should show that only the smallest damages ought to have been given. The plaintiff kept a gin-shop at Yarmouth, and the aotion was brought lot -..is turhing a rout given by his lady. Mr. Justice Bay lee,—An unlawful assembly, Mr. Campbell? Mr Campbell-140, my lord ; the lady was at hums. To this ele,oitit eutertaintnent a young lady named Lydia Simmons was invited. She was an orphan, of 17 years of age, of con siderable fortune, whirse guardian had placed her under the care of the widow of ;I clergyman. Although she was related to the plalittill, her gnardlann did not think it was proper for her to associate with the company who a.tsenibled al Ilia house, and therefore horhatle her to atte n d this party, which was to be given on the 14th of January last. Notw•ilhetaading the p:o• the plaintiff took her final the house of her proiet trese in order to pare the entertainment to which he had in vited his friends. ►ter inardians understanding that she was there, gave a written authority to the officer of the mayor to remove her, and he took with Lim the two other defendants.— On their arrival theywent hito the kitchen, which was one of the rooms open for the reception of the company, and there stated the husinesa of their visit. It was probable Ord their Moen would have been peaceably attained, had not the party been graced with the presence of an attorney from London, named Bousfield, who resolved to dazzle them with a diaplay of his professional skill. " Have you," said he, addressing himself to the officers, " provided yourselves with his Ma jesty's writ of habeas corpus ab satfiriciela(am? " (A general laugh.) They confessed that they had not, but said they bad a written authority from the guardians. "Then," rejoiced he, 0 you are liable to an action, for you have been guilty of a gross damsons fregit." (Renewed laughter.) At length it was suggested, that if the officers would retire, the young lady should be conducted home ; and one of the officers went to obtain the consent of the guurdionA to this arrangement, which Was given. and the defendant* withdrew. Such was the sub stantial Cti.l , e of action ; and the k.graiations mak,' were , th at one of the officers had said, Slaty seminal% make a 11l ill toe ;" and that another had said, Nice tarts, Indica," alludiatg to stone tatty hi-It the feitia'e visiters were eating. Fur the trespass the jury hail given 201. dautagen, which were utterly extra% moat and absurd, and quote unexpected by the Judge who presided. 'l'be learned counsel proceeded to read a report of Mr. Baron Carrow's summing up, in which lie lamented the ease should be brought before the jury, and anituadverted ou the conduct of the plaintiff, but was stopped by The Court, who granted a rule to allow mtge. WEDNESDAY, APRIL 23. THE lIINU C. BELLAMY. Mr. Adams applied to the court to quash the cot t fiction of a magistrate, in penalties under the game laws, for keeping • gun or greyhoundr for the purpose of killing game, net having lands so as to he duly qualified, or holding any deputation of any Lord of the Manor, so as to qualify the party to kill game. lie said he mowed under the statue sth of Anne, which limits the conviction to this—that the soimuons before • magistrate must be within three months of the offence committed. Lord Chief Justice.—" The oth of Anne relates to persons selling game within three months." 11r. Adams referred to the Ist of Geo. 1. which recites the 9th of Ann , , and which slates that the person keeping any en gine for killing, Ac. under cutout of being u gamekeeper, or qualified person, then the offence must hate been committed within three months of such summons or conviction, otherwise it cannot be sustained. The Lord Chief Justice was of opinion, the conviction of an unimOtied person keeping a gun, greyhounds, or other engine, with intent to gill game, must s take place within the space of three months from the time of the commission of the offence. His lordship, out this construction of the 511, and 9th of Anne, VMS of opinion that the conviction nibs bed; and observed, he was of further opinion, that the Act of Parliament for the pre , rarities of the kiiling of g:iiiie would nut be foetid very ho noursble to the literature of the country. It was, however, not the duty of this court to criticise or examine Acts of Par lament wills regard to their literary or critical Composition ) but they were bound to interpret the intentions of the legisls lute, and to execute thosu intention* as well us Mu•y (the Judges) could understand them. The rest of the Bench, after a minute recital of the arterial statute*, concurred with the Chief Justice, upon which a ver dict was entered fur the defendant. stoucrioN.— DREW R. GREEN. Mr. Williams, on the part of the defendant, -moved for a rule to thew cause why a third new his) should not be granted. The seduction for which damages were sou hi, was an alleged forcible violation of the plaintiff's daughter. The deferolnot lived nev.t do., to the plaintiff at Winchester; and there was but one room in his house, in which the daughter swore the act was committed, in the middle of the day, betwe en eleven and twelve o'clock, within twelve feet of die High street, 111111 not more than twenty feet fro.n her mother's residence, to whom she said nothing about it, on her immee:iate return to her borne. At the first trial she fixed the time in the middle of December, and before Christmas, but on Mr. Williams °Mai oo ioo g a new trial, by proving that the delendant had the sheriff's othcers in the house for 20 days, at that period, and also by the time of the birth of the child, that it could not have been then, she, at the Ketone! 'vial slated, she h d forgotten that CIICSIMIO4Ore al the first triad, and that it must beer been in the middle of January and after Christmas, that the violation took plane. Mr. Williamsliad now allithee its lo prove that, from th e _ _ _ . east; part of January to the 3d of February, Mrs. Green was in the shop every day ; and besides that, he had the solemn oath of the defendant, tliut lie never bud any criminal know ledge whatever of the girl, though lie was aware he could not make use of that testimony. lie could also prove that the de foulsot had been seen in limiter conversation with her since the time sworn to, although, to account for her net bating told Lim of her situation, she swore she had never spoken to him since. The damages given were 601. The Jowl, utter a shirt consultation, granted the rule. FLIYAT. APRIL 25. CLAUCIITON V. LEK. Mr. Abraham stated, that a commission of bankrupt had been issued against the defendant in this case, and while Nutley examination benure the commissioners he had been surrendered by his bail, and was now confined in the King's Bench prison, where a detainer was lodged against him by Mr. Cleughton, M.P. the plaintiff, fur aJuito of 10,0001.—he now moved that the defendant Lee be forthwith discharged fawn custody, under the act of Parliament, which enacted that a bankrupt shall be privileged from arrest fur 1 2 days prior to his final exididua tion. The csanmiasioners bad granted him their protection from arrest, and had extended (Le time of final examination until the 3al of May next. This detainer was laid in contempt vi their authority, and contrary to act of Parliament. The court granted a rule to Allow tame. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. Dr.t.t.ow V. WIIITE. Sergeant Pell stated that this was an action brought In ?e -cover the sum of 501. under the following singular circum atances :—The defendant, and two other persons, became sureties to a huge amount to the Marshal of the King's Bench prison, for the appearance of a bankrupt named Hawley, 'in order to obtain the rules of the prison for the bankrupt, whb was then in the Numbers custody. When, however, Hawley got the rules lie broke them and ran away, by which conduct he placed his 'sureties in jeopardy. The defeadaat promised to pay the plaintiff the sum of 501. and any espeuces that lee might incur, if lie would give such information or render such assistance as uoul•t lead to the reception of the bankrupt.— The plaintiff gained the necessary information, and communi cated it to the defer:dent, who, in consequence of such assist ance, ■neceeded in accomplishing the arrest of the bankrupt. This circumstance of course released all the `sureties. The defendant, however, forgot that he bad promised 501. for the service rendered to him, and this action was brought to com pel him to perform it. The first witness called was T. A. Clarke.—He proved the hand-writing of the defendant to the promise, which was dated the 7th of November, 1820. He knew Hawley, who was then in the King's Bench prison. Witness, defendant, and a man named Starnes boiled hint, and he eldsined the rules. After flawle's's escape the deleodant came to the witness, and said that by means of ►he plaintiff lie had obtained infnrmation of the road Hass icy had taken, and that be meant to follow bins. Hawley was subsequently appre..! ,, t.desl. The defendant then told the witness that lie had agreed to t; e ex,..-nces, which amounted to 631. and to give th.. plaintiff 601 ; but that be thought the plaintiff would take less. Cross-examined by Sergeant Vaughan.—Had fallen out with the defendant because the defendant wanted him to pay (tim bal(' of the espences. Witness would only pay one-third as his share. The plaintiff was the brother of Mrs. Hawley. Wit ness had heard the plaintiff say that ;tad assisted Hawley in making his escape. Plaintiff bed repeatedly seknonledgld this in witness'a house. _ _ _ Sergeant Pell here acknowledged that this was a good an swer to the action, and that the pilihtifl must he norninitcd. Sergeant Vaughan.--" I could go further, but this is candid of ou." Sergeant Pell observed that there was au candour in giving np the celiae when he luuncl that lie could out positibly succeed iu it. The plaintiff was nonsuited. A County Meeting is about to he held at Bedford, to consider of petitioning Parliament on the subject of widows burning themselves in India. 111ustuta.—To tile particulars telatite to the late hoe. rid monde; perpetrated at Deal, we have now to add, that Joseph Bell, t',e only son of the deceased, a youtti just tamed Id tears of age, has made a lull confession of his guilt.
