(Laughter.) However, the ministry was deceased : reguiescat its pore. (Laughter.) With respect ! to tie future government, there was a very general impres sion in the country that a pure Pulite was coming into power. Nothing could be ►aid against Lord Aberdeen All that was known of him was eminently creditable to him ; for he was said to have been Sir Robert Peel's ad viser u to the repeal of the corn laws ; and it was under stood that when it was proposed that the re ps.d should he effected more gnelually, Lord Aber deen said "No, it must be done at once." (Cheers.) Then there was the Duke of Newcastle, whom he (Mr. Os borne) respected greatly both publicly and privately.

(leer, hear.) Still he (Mr. B. ashen.) trusted that the new government would not be an unmitigated Pulite one, but that it would contain some men who were connected with the great popular party. (Cheers.) Certainly his confidence in it would be materially increased if it contained the name of Lord John Russell, than whom, considering the length of his services, no public man could show a cleaner rill of health or • better cured. r. (Cheers.) While, however, they demanded so much from their public men there were duties which they owed to them. Teey ought not to be too excessive in their impatience, or too lax in their con&• denoe. It behoved all reforrnereto exercise two qualities —union and furbearance. Mr. Macaulay had well observed that the life of all political Wien— not principle, hut action, —must to a certain extent be a life of compromise. (Cheers.) Again, to use the truthful words of Burke:—. A man full • of warm, speculative benevolnce, may wish society other wise constituted than he finds it ; but • good patriot, and ■ true politician, always considers how be may make the most of the existing materials of his country ; • disposition to preserve, and an •hility to improve, taken togethtr, would be my standard of • statesman." (Loud cheers.) He (Mr. Osborne) trusted that the no•. government would he prepared to act upon a true liberal basso, and would help forward the great cause of progressive •ud rati mai reform. (Loud cheers.) Mr. StursoN proposed "Mr. Ilume and the House of Commons." (Loud cheers.) Mr. Neoax then gave "Civil and religious liberty;" after which the health& of the chairman, the stewards, the ladies, &e., were proposed and duly honoured, and the meeting broke up. DEATH OF THREE PERSONS FROM IN. HEALTH OF LONDON MAHN° TILE WEEK. The official report nye: The rate of mortality in the metropolitan distrie.s has been nearly uniform during the three weeks of December. The deaths rose to 1,1112 in the first, declined truly to 1,012 in the neat, and in the week that t mica last Smut day rose again to 1,011. In the ten weeks pointing to live wet k of the years 1812-51 the average number WAS 1,190, which, with a ear reetion fur increase of popelation, gives a mortality fir the present time of 1,309. Intiuenzs, which prevailed at the end of 1817, when in the corresponding week 1,946 persons died from all CAMS, has contributed to swell this average ; but without releren, to the casual effect of an epidemic, the comparison still :Ailed, gratifying evidence of an im provement in the public health It will be wen that erg's- Vara in particular localities confirm this observation. Daring the last tour weeks the mortality caused by "li)niiitic diseases in the aggregate. ex Onto remarkable uni formity; the deaths in this Cass were successively 207, "210, 212, and (last week) 211. In the same times those feat' scarlatina were 72, 59, 62, and 00. Of 5 deaths from small-pus, one navurred in the fisnallipoz llospital, being that of a female servant Irons Pimlico, aged 17 yi ars, who died on 16th December of " small pot, confluent, unmodi , tied (It dive)," said to have beta vac inated when 7 months old at Leominster by a 110111A11; no cicatrix.

Mr. Faulkner, the registrar, states that " scarlatina is very prevalent in his district; he registered 3 deaths from it last week, and in each of the two families there is another child not expected to recur, r." In Clapham, in Bolton -court, Drumell's-road, on 15th December, the d &tighter of a horse-keeper, aged 6 years, died from "diarrheas produced by poisoning from the drains." (Inquest.) Mr. Frost, the registrar, adds the following description The court is • very coasted place, wit'ssia houses in it. At the hack is a narrow paaage leading to the privy, which is the only one fur the uceof all the families in the wart. The drain was quite full, and the effluvium arising most offensive. Tne houses are very dirty, particulaily the one in which the death occurred. I visited the court again this morning, and found the owner had commenced cleaning out the drains." lu the sub-district of Lambeth Church (2nd part), at 1, White Lion court, on 13th and 17th December, two daughters of a labourer, aged 4 years, sad 1 yea' , and 11 months respectively, died of •• scarlatina malign.," one after 11 days, the other after 10 days' illness. Mr. Wheatley, tae registrar, says: "Thew death., with one reported in the previous seek, make three that have occurred in the same family. I visited the family for Cie purpose of regis tering the last case and inspecting the house, which I found in a very dirty, miserable, and dilapidated condition. The mother informed me that at limes there is a driadful cruch at the back of the premises, front some unituow n cause. She thinks her neighbour at the bottom of the court has occasionally some offensive matter on the premises, or burns something that produces the effluvium. She h a s but one child left." In tho sub-district of St. Peter, Walworth, at 11, Park place, Baguet, on 11th December, the son of a solicitor, aged 11 jeers, died of " scarlatina (14 days)." Mr. Tinier, the registrar, states that "this is the third death in this family that hss occurred 'filth' 8 weeks from the same discs's." At 15, Ituddoch's-buildings, Shoreditch, on 11th D.ceinber, the daughter of a career, aged 12 years, died of "scarlatina (3 week.), dropsy." Mr. Alabaster, the regis trar, mentions that "out of 8 children in this family, 3 have Leen carried off by scarlatina, which has been very prevalent in this court." Mr. Murray, registrar of the sub-district of Ileckney-road, mentions Weatherhaad gardens, where a fatal case of scarlatina occurred, as "a low, damp place, without (Inhume ' " sod Smith's.piace, King.street, when a man died of typhus, as " • very close, overcrowded, damp, sad undrsined court." In the sub-district of 1,,..ng Acre, at 6, Vinegar-yard, Bridges-street, the son and daughter of a shoemaker, aged 3 years and 1 year, died on 10th and 12th December re spectively of " pneumonia," one after 5 weeks', the other after 4 .weeks' illness. On the certificate of the medical attend amt are the following remarks : These children had been respectively 3 weeks and 2 weeks ill when first seen by ine, and up to the Sunday preceding their deaths I hoped to restore health, but the influence et three cesspools ad joining the honed rendered all efforts useless." Mr. Ansel', registrar of the cab-district of Roston, New town, who registered 7 deaths last week, says:—" During the 11 years I have resided in Hoxtun I have not known it to be wore healthy than at present, and considering the ea teat and oopulatio6 of this district the mortality is exceed ingly low. It will be seen that I have not registered the death of one adult this week, and none during the last fort night at St. Luke's Workhouse." Mr. items, replant. of the sub-district of Whit/chapel Church, ob serves that " 21 days have now elapsed without the registration of any deaths, except those in the London Hospital. This certainly is a very satisfactory state of things in a district where the mortality 'is generally high ; it almost challenges comparison with Lewisham, the most healthy, or St. George, lianover-square, the most wealthy, of the metropolitan districts." A mau unknown, shunt 45 years of age, was found drowned on the 14t h December in the New River Canon bury, Islington. Mr. Butterfield says This body had been in the water at least a fortnight; the number of bodies found in the New Barer is diminished in consequence of the extension of proper fences." The following cases in addition to the above are *sleeted from the week's returns :—" A man, aged 65 years, died on 10th December, from accidental asphyxia with his neckerchief, in an attempt to remove it when intoxicated, it having been worn round his neck in a slip knot." A woman, about 57 years, was found dead on 13th December, having been " accidentally suffocated and burnt while intoxicated." Besides these, two deaths are ascribed directly to in'empereace, and one to privation. In Charing-cross Hospital, on 7th December, a tailor, aged 72 years, died of " very large carbuncle." Last week the births of 878 boys and 784 girls, in all 1,662 children, were registered- in London. The average number in smelts corresponding weeks of 1846-61 was 1,377. .At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 29.318 in.

WOllll3O Or PUSEITEIM IN WESSMINEITRIL —Last night a meeting of the ratepayers of St.Anne'sWestrainater, was held in the vestry-room, for the purpose of providing fur the repairs of the parish church, and eh* for certain deficiencies in the fund for carrying on the ordinary ser vice. The Rev. Nugent Wade presided. The report of the committee showed that fur the repairs 12W., and fur other expense, 1101., would be required, and a_ penny rate MU recommended as adequate to this outlay. Mr. Cooper, surgeon, moved that a halfpenny rate be granted, and was expressing his regret that the innovations of the rector had reduced them from a state of independence to the necessity of recurring to a rate which would strike their nonconformist fellow parishioners, when he was in • terrupted by the rector, who said he would tolerate oo animadvenions of that nature, but would adjourn the meeting were they not suspended. Mr. Cooper, resuming, observed that it was most pertinent to remark that the conduct of the rector was precisely the CAMS of their diffi culties. Here the rector again interfered, amidst much uproar, but Mr. Cooper went on, and concluded by moving that half the own demanded be granted. Mr. Marshall seconded the motion. An amendment for adjourning the question, and another for granting the satire penny, were rejected, and Mr. Cooper's resolution was carried, alter Mr. George, the senior churchwarden, had explained that the result of the practices introduced by the rector into the parish was that the rentalliad beau diminished from between ' 4001. and GOO/. to one.tenth of th.t amou n t, an d as the parishioners continued to desert the church for neighbour-1 Leg churches, they must look for a church rate every year in future. yINTItI.

Last night about three hundred and fifty gentle. men sat down to a cold collation at the Albion Hotel, Hammersmith, to celebrate the return of Lott' Rotten Grosvenor and Mr. Bernal Osborne. Sir Jun', tilt ELLIY, M.P., occupied the chair, and was supported by Led R. Grosvenor ' Mr. Osborne, Mr. Keogh, M.P , Sir A. Roth,. child, Mr. J. Williams, D. Simpson, Captain Reid, Captain West, Ike. After the loyal cod customary toasts, Mr. Mostuoreaser proposed the health of Lord Itohert • Orosvenor. (Cheers.) ',the character of the noble lord was too well known to require any elaborate elIC003111(11 on his part. Ile (Mr. Montgomery) eertriuly thought that the -epresenta tines of the people in the Commons House at Parliament should be chosen from the people themeless; but as there were exceptions to all ruKs, Lord Robert Grosvenor 44, an exception to this. His never failing urbanity, and his unwearied anieluity in the discharge of every duty lie un. dertouk rendered Lim in every way lit to be the representa tive of any coostiturney, and particularly of one like that of Middlesex. (Loud chi ere.) Lord ROIIIIIIT 6 ausvallon returned thanks. We lived in times in which such extraordinary changes were coo stoutly taking place that one might almost doubt whether the ground upon which we stood would not pass away from under our rent. He would not say whether this state of things was not enough to make one " Diary "—(lutsider) —because that word had now acquired a somewhat peculiar sioaificaoce, and would confuse an ordin iry intellect. (Hear, hear) lie was quite at a low to desiguete the late ministry. Some persons bad been 01100LITte01111 enough to say that it was • ministry without principles, or an unprin cipled miniatry. (Cheers.) Others, in the language which had been made classical by Lord Derby. had called it the " Thimblerig ministry "—(cheers)-- and he suptoeed that its difficulty had been to decide under what th table the P (which stood for " pro. tettion ") would be found. (Laughter.) He (the noble lord) did not like to call names, but he supposed that when the future historian should write about our times, he would call it " the bowing administration." When it had first been determined to bold the present meeting, their object was merely to eat the Christmas pie of oongratulatioa, over the success which had attended their own struggle on the hustings; but since then—so rapid were changes nowa days—they had found %hems, less suddenly exposed to the inclemency of • parliamentary Christmas, without even a government over their heads (Laughter, and cheers.) They dill not really know who might be sent for; and he had taken care, before he came from home, to leave word where he was to be found. (Laughter.) With respect to the future, be would venture to give them his speculations. Everyboly, they must remember, had at i some time the turn of the wheel. The friends with whom he had been in the habit of actin dariag the thirty years of his political life, and who went by the name of "the family party," had for five most important and eventful years adminotered again with great diligence and success; but last February they were found to be incapabl . of carry. lag on the government any longer. Thereupon they were secoseded by Derby and Disraeli, who, to do them Justice, had brought forward some very good measures. Their ministry had in it many very honourable and some, though sot many, very able men. (" Hear, bear," and laughter.) But there was displayed by them such vacillation, such a complete uncertainty of principle, and such a total want of firmness of purpose, that there was scarcely a night when one cabinet minister did not get up and flatly contradict • what had been said by another. That being the case, he thought that now they bad been fairly bowed out it would be highly advantageous to keep them out. (Cheers.) Nay, he must go a step further and say that there had been a recklessness displayed in the means used at the last eke d's for corrupting the constituencies of the country sad a wholesale attempt by petitioning en annoy those mem bers wham they could not ,keep out. That would be most discreditable to any government. (Cheers.) He was will fag to believe that those in high once were ignorant of the means which had been resorted to, but still the facts were such as to reflect the greatest discredit upon the whole system which would only recoil upon its authors. (Cheers.) Why, they had even presented a petition against the return of his hon. colleague (Mr. 11. Osborne), and, of all things in the world, for bribery. (Cheers.) He (Lord IL Oros ) should like to see the "good end safe man," or the Frail, who would attempt to any the ametitseney of Middle's. with his " horse nails," or Me " bell metal." (Laughter and cheers.) Such • petition was an insult to the whole constituency. (Cheese.) He quite, however, acquitted the conservative elision (K be might mill them so) of any partielpetien be the winks swi l l the Meerie of Blandford had dined that be bed Many. te de with it, No that the ghee were re al*.

(Laughter.) He (Mr. B. Osborne) gave them no credit for bowing to the decision of the country, because they kaew full well it was " Hobson's choice" with them. (Laughter and cheers.)

(Laughter.) lie (Mr. Osborne) looked apes it as a national mischief that cootidence le the sincerity of public men should be destroyed ; for representative institutions hardly stood to high in the esti.

When they recol. lasted that this country was, as it were, the best citadel of HALING THE FUME Or CHARCOAL. Yesterday, Mr. "%Yakley held an inquest at the Robinson Ciusoe Tavern, Eirl-street, Lisson grove, on the bodies of Thomas Martin, aged 21: William Sheen, aged 20; and liarry Felgate Hardee, aged 17, all late in the employ of Mr. Daniel Elliott, chresemonger, of No. 3, Portman-place, Edgware-road. The jury having been sworn, proceeded to view the bodies. Martin and Sheen laid in a detached and ill-ven. tilated apartment, is the rear of the business premises of Mr. Elliott, in which the fatal t vent took place. Daniel Elliott, jun., said—On Sunday morning last, the shopmen, together with the youth Burden, retired to rut about half.put one o'clock, in the apartment at the back of the premises. About 8 o'clock no the Sunday morning, in consequence of neither of the deceased, making their ap. pearance at that hour, which was their custom, he went by direction of his mother to their sleeping-room, to arouse them by knocking at the door. About an hour after, his mother, M.o. Elliott, came to him, and said oho fancied she beard a groan, and something mast be the matter, and they then proceeded to the apartment described. He (witness) opened the door, which was unlocked, and on Mitering, Martin, who slept by himself in one bed, and wren, who slept with Burden in the other, were both dead, and the latter in an insensible and apparent dyilay condition. He instantly gave an alarm, end procured the aid of Mr. Fitzpatrick ? of Lissom-street, and Mr. floury Ohre, of Orove•place, Limon grove. The deceased' Martin and Sheen were pronounced quite dead, but the deceased, Burden, was still alive, and mustard poultices to the chest, artificial respiration, and ' other remedies, were applied, but he never rallied, and died at seven the same evening. The deceased' had been for some time past in the habit of having a charcoal Sr. in the room during the day, to dry the room, and sometimes incautiously left it housing at night, although they had received repeated cautions from Mrs. Elliott as to its danger. The young seen went to bid, leaving their charcoal bra burning, and became so ill that for some days they were under Radios' treatment. That gentleman then urged opts them the deafer, and advised the use of a chiding disk, instead of the pan with holes is it, then in use. On Saturday evening, at 8 o'clock, Mr.. Elliott went and looked in the room, end seeing no light eonsidered everything safe. Her daughter also looked into the room at 10 o'clock, and with the same result,. as she thought. On the Sunday morning, when the bod ies were found, the two candles taken by the deceased, to their bed. rooms (separated by a slight partition), were found burned into the sockets of the candlesticks. Mr. Henry Ohre and Mr. Fi•spatrick, the surpooll, un• dement a rigid examination by the coroner and jury. Their concurrent testimoay was to the effect that they were called in to Mr. Elliott's to see the deceased persons between nine and ten on Sunday morning, the 19th inst. They found Martin and Sheen quite dead. The deceased Bur&it was stiU alive, and be was immediately removed to the upper apartment. They applied mustard poultices to the chest and opened the trachia for tke purpose of introducing artificial respiration, and resorted to other remedies. The appearance was that of spiplesy. They continued to Maud deceased until the hour of his death, which took phase at 7 o'clock the same evening. lie never became sesdhis, or rallied in the slightest degree. They hid that =Lade a pose fleargen exaMea It two of the of Martin and (+bee,. The Wee is es* sue wen wally congested, and the bids voy ass =wing the appearance of an attach of spopiezy_, AB' were Ina perfectly health state. Oise of the illessese7rad evidently nude an effort at saltness The of the bodies of the desesseds, Martin sad Slues, that they had set bola dead saws dam an hew. They had no doubt that the Asada he each ease had resulted from the hashish's et ssehade sad gas emitted from the burning ebeempak whisk stun have been in a state of ignition during the night, akheegh supposed to have been extinguished. The mesa he the esprsition that death had been so recline before the dasevery was the &clot the candles being burnt into their sockets. Had there been sufficient carbonic acid gas to have caused death before there was time for the candles to have burned out the t elects of the gas would have been to have extinguished them. The Coroner at some length commented on the &aprons practice of using charcoal area in sleeping apartments under any circumstances, but more npecially in rooms without chimneys and otherwise ill•ventilated, es In the present case. It appeared that there was no blame attri butable to any one bat these young men themselves, and it was estraordinary, after the waroiog of danger they had previously received, they had not horn more careful. The jury ultimately returned a verdict " That the deceueds died from ruff minion caused by inhaling the fumes of charcoal accidentally."

Tllll MURDER IN THE FOREST OF DEAL—DaY 1111001C. MONDAY.—TO-nay the inquest on the body of William Peake, the sawyer, who was found dead In th e road near this place on Thursday week, having been killed by • knife or some other sharp instrument, being thrust through one of his eyes to the brain, was resumed before John Lovegrove, Esq., one of the coroner, for the county of Gloucester. The only evidence taken to day was that of the father and mother of the prisoner. Mary °reenlist', the prisoner's mother, proved that on the night of the sup posed murder she went to bed about nine o'clock, and that her son Judie (the prisoner) did not come home until some time after, when her husband let him in. She was exa mined also with respect to a cloth which the police found in the house with marks of blood upon it, as if a bloody knife bed been wiped with it. She swore that on the Sunday before the supposed murder her husband's nose bled, and that he wiped it on this cloth. Thomu Oreenhaf, the father of the prisoner, however denied that he had had his no se bl ee di ng on the Sunday, but he said his nose bled on the Monday, and that he used the cloth then, and was sodded by his wife for doing so. This witneu alas gave evidence as to the time the prisoner , came home on the night of the supposed mur d er. It was I about a quarter put eleven o'clock, and he was drunk. He smoked a pipe by the fire, and then went to bed, witness assisting him up Main, and helping to undress him. He and his brother John were up early neat day, and off to work. The prisoner, on being 'wised if he had anything to say, and being duly cautioned, said he knew nothing about it. Some further facts having come to the knowledge of the police, which they intimated might lead to important results, the coroner was requested again to adjourn the inquiry. The inquiry wu accordingly adjourned to the 3rd of January, 1653. lain intelligence. EQUITY COURTS.—YEareanAT. Beene. Tile LOOM JUlrtlera or Arm.. he RI HURL PIOISYN, • LVX•TIC, DECHASED. The lunatic had oied intestate, without being pootsssed of any personal estate, but seised of reel estate producing a rental of upwards of 310/. a year. This was the petition of a tinder of the lunatic, who had been appointed in Ite2s committee of his person awl his estate. It appeared that by order of the court, made in 182 i, 3iOl. eer annum hail been ever since allowed to her for the maintenance of the lunatic out of the income of his property. The petitioner (the committee) had passed her accounts at receirs and payments fur the lunatic up to September, 1849, and she ad been appointed to bring in a fut ther &count in Septom• ber, IBa. As there waa persohal estate of thc lunatic, and the sums received out of his Mate by the petitioner had fallen short of what the court had allowed lit r, was alleged that it would be mochas for her to take out letters of administration of the esteem of the lunatic fur the purpose of passing her further account. The petition, therefore, asked, that the putting of such final account might be dispensed with, in order that the eapense of letters ci administration might be avoided ; and that the r. minis sauces entered into by the ebnitnittee on her appointment might be vacated.

Leave had been given to serve the defendant; who were abroad with a copy of the bill under the New Chaim ry Act, but a dilbenlty bud arisen of this nature. The endorse:a. vet printed on the bill was in the usual term, that the del. ',Mints must an swer the bill within eight days, but with regard to the de feculent/I, who wore abroad, the order was that thty ahoald answer the bill within fourteen days. The question but, submitted to the court was whether the Clerks of Itecorils and Writs were enabled t, alter the enduraerueut su as to meet the case of rime defendants ? Mr. Prendergast eppeared in support of the application. The Vice-Chancellor said that a comul , ation bad taken place between the judges upon this and other points sub mitted for their consideration, and they were all of opinion that it was competent for tho court to direct the elteratioti to be made in the endorsement, but it had also been decided that in future the endorsement should not be printed upon the bill, and this would have the effect of doing away with any further difficulty in the matter. KING O. MULLENS..—RIORT OF TRUSTERS TO A Reheaba ibis was a motion to dissolve an injunction to restrain an action at law which had been granted under the follow ing circumstances. It appeared that the plaintiff, Mr. King, who was a gentleman of property, residing in the country, had received from a person named Mullen., who had been his bailiff, a sum of 1741., which Mullen. re- I quested Mr. King to take charge of upon trust to pay the income to his widow for her life, and alter her decease to pay the principal alter deducting the expenses of bcr fune ral to his two sons. Mullein died soon afterwards, and the plaintiff invested the money upon landed security, and b a d paid the interest to Mrs. Mullen, for the last seven years. rhe plaintiff a abort time ago was called upon to pay the 1741. to Mrs. Mullen' as executrix to her husband, and to the two Hall. This he refused to do without having a release from the widow and her sons upon the ground that the money was held by him open the above trusts verbally communicated to him by Mr. Mullen.. An action was then brought agaiast the plaintiff for the re covery of the money, and this bill was filed and an in junction obtained to restrain the action, on the principle that a court of law could not take cognisance of a trust, and the plaintiff, Mr. King, had there fore no defenc • except in equity. Mr. Lewes, in moving to dissolve the injunction, lead various letters which had passed between the parties before the action was commenced, and submitted that the whole of the litigation had been caused by the plaintiff's refusing to state upon what security the money was invested, and coatended that the plaintiff had no right to a release—the parties who were entitled to the money all joining in re questing him to pay the money over, and giving him a receipt for the amount. Mr. Wigram and Mr. Roxburgh, for the plaintiff, said that he had always been ready nod willing to pay the money, but he would not be justified, before the death of the widow, in handing it over, without a release from all the parties interested. The Vice-Chancellor said as Mr. King was ready to pay the money, there really was no question left, except as to the costs of this unfortunate litigation. If there had been a simple trust created in the ordinary way, Mr. K iug would not have been entitled to a release upon paying over money in conformity with the trusts, but here the matter was of a different nature. The trust was created verbally, and the direction was to pay Mrs. Mullens the int •rest for life, and then, titer satisfying her funeral expenses, to pay the prin cipal to the two sons Mrs. Mullen. being alive now, there still remained a trust to be performed, and he thought that Mr. King was legally entitled to a release. He might have been surprised that Mr. King had nut saved the expense of the release to these parties, which would have been, it was stated, about 101., but it appeared Iron the cone ! spondence which had passed between them that the plaintiff thought he had been ungraciously treated, and be had certainly a right to stand upon the strict legal course. If the parties bad taken a little more trouble in ascertaining what each 3f them meant before they wrote threatening letters, all the expense of this litigation might have been caved, but considering all the circumstances, he was of opinion that the costs of this suit and of the action at law ought to be paid out of the fund, the Residue to be paid over to the widow and sons upon their joint receipt for the money. WRITS S. COMM.—INJUNCTION TO RESTRAIN TIM CARRYING ON O! A TRADE, REFUSED. In this ease an injunction was applied for a short time since, to restrain the defendants, who were the owners of a glass bottle manufactory in Pintrim•street, Upper Ken nington, from carrying on their business in such a as to occasion any nuisance, disturbance, or annoyance to the plaintiff, her husband, or family, residing in their dwelling house at Montfort-place, or to the tenants and occupiers of the other dwelling houses and premises be longing to the plaintiff, and situated in Montfort. place. Upon the application for the injunction, the defendants undertook not to carry on their business a lter 8 o'clock at night or upon Sashays; but they were unwilling to continue that undertaking, and consequently the motion was now brought on. From the evidence of the plaintiff it appeared that there was a constant noise kept up during the night at . ..he defendants' glasseanufactory, arising from knocking off the glade from the blowing irons; that the nuisance was so great, that many of the inhabitants could not sleep at night, and some of them had given notice to quit their houses in con sequence. The bill, therefore, was filed by the plaintiff, a married woman, who was the owner of several of the houses for her separate use, and the complaint rested upon two grounds,—that of annoyance occasioned to the plaintiff and her family, and the damage to the property. The evidence for the defendant was to the effect that a great number of persona residing in the immediate neighbourhood were in no degree annoyed by the carrying on of the defendant's trade; that it was nut, in fact, calculated to do any diunage to the surrounding property, and that the business had only been tarried on during three different Sundays, and then fur very particular reasons. The Vice.Chanoellor said it was evident that this court could only grant an injunction until such time as an action should be tried at la*, to ascertain whether the defendants' trade was really a nuisance or not. The principal complaint was that the nuisance caused damage to the plaintiff's property. Now this was no ground for granting an injunction to restrain a nuisance. The evidence as to the personal annoyance to the neighbours was of a very contradictory nature. Then the bill was filed by the plain tiff as a married woman by her next friead alleging a sepa rate interest in the property, her husband being made a defendant. It was very clear that with regard to the per sonal annoyance caused by the p ion of sleep, the plaintiff could have no separate interest in that, and as to the allegation of damage to the property, that was not a grouad for restraining the nuisance. He was therefore in clined to think that the bill was wrongly framed, and under all the circumstances he should refuse the injunction, but direct the case to stand ever, with liberty fur the plaintiff to bring such action at law as she should be advised. BMW% • ICIIXIIANCILLOS AWAIT. BRYSON r. TNI WARWICIL AND BIRMINORAX CANAL COMPANY. Mr. De Om in support of a motion by the plaintiff, said the bill in this case was tiled by a shareholder in an abortive railway company for forming an extension of the Birming ham Railway, for the purpose of obtaining the repayment of a sum of 10,0004 as part of the assets of the abortive company, which the bill alleged had been improperly paid by the directors to the defendants (the canal company) in part payment of the price of the canal. It appeared that an agreement had been entered into, and executed in dupli ' Cate, between sad by the directors of the abortive company and the directors of the canal company, but the directors of the abortive company had lost their counterpart of the agreement, for which search had been made unsuccessfully. The plaintiff had obtained the usual order fur production by the defendants of their duplicate of the agreement before the examiner, to be proved as an exhibit in the cause. This was a motion that the defendants should be ordered to pro duce their duplicate at the Stamp-office in order that it might be stamped. This motion was made by analogy to the usual practice at law, " Neale v. Swine (2 Crompton and Jervis, 278). Mr Malins opposed the motion, suggesting that the plain tiff had no right to stamp the defendants documents with a view to use it against them. The Vice-Chancellor said he thought it was an order that for the purpovs of justice ought to be made; he thought, upon the authority cited, he ought to make the order upon payment by the plaintiff of the costs of the stamp, the penalty, and of the present application.
