This cause which his 'excited great interest in this ' cn ey, - came on to be tried on Saturday last, before' too Baron RFCHARDS and a Special Jury.—lt is im possible for us tes give, more than a concise sketch of which occupied the Court for upwaids of t he case , rotten hours. The plaintiffs, as the Lords of the reputed Manor o f Park Lettice Llanover, claimed by this ejectment, all the waste lands in the parish of Llanover, and the non and coal mines in the mountains ; on pert of which, the defendants as lessees of the Earl of Aber- R oemr, h id e o xpended £250,000 in the erection of formig levels, building houses, and in the finneces, endowment of a Church ; and which ate well knoWn by t h e na me of the Bleenavon Works.—O .t the part of the plaintiff it Was shown that P ark, Letrice vet was a manor in the time of Queen Et-mem:Tit ; but there was no evidence of any Courts having been held, subsequent to that reign.—The plaintiffs then attempted to prove . by various withcsees, that the parish of Llanover, and the Men .r of Park Lettice Llanover, were co-extensive ; and that the waste laoasin the paxish,csmprising an extent ot seven mina on the mountains, were within the boundary of their manor. Acts of ownership for .50 years 'past, were next offered in proof ;—such as collecting estrays on the mountains, digging coal and ore, mid perambu. lations w h ich were seem to have been mkrked by boundary stones. The plaintiffs admitted, that the defendants had for the last VS years been in possession a ale rnines in question ; etr. they contended that the Statute of Limitations had not barred them, in as much as thrir estate had been entailed ; and that they had brought their ejectment a few months before the expiration of 20 years, from the time they came into possession. Mr. Tetnixon who had opened and conducted the plaintiffs' case, with very great ability, then informed the Court that he considered he had established the plaintiffs' right to the premises in question. The Souction GENERAL. who had been brought down special by the Earl of Abergavenny, then ad dressed tee Jury sin the part of the defendants.—lt would be doing an injustice to the Solicitor General to atter:let to describe the speech, or the feeling it excited in one of the mast crowded Courts we ever witnessed; those around i.im end who had often been gratified by the display of his unrivalled talents, ad. witted, that in no instance had he ever emileodied in an address to a Jury, more teeming, mote iscuie.and vigorous reasoning, or .s more eloquent and touching appeal to the minds and feelings of the Jeffry. than he had done on this important occasion.—He began by asevere criticism oh the plaintiffs' witnesses, and their attempting to prove trivial circumstances which ()c -owed teat a century ago, as it they had only happen. ed yestei day, and made some tine observations On the infirmity id human memory, arid on the principles which should regulate our confidence in all human testimony. —He then pointed nut the contradictions its the plaintiffs' evidence, and the improbability of their story, which he submitted to the Jury, was fabricated to suppert the plaintiffs' claim.—The So licitor General then observed, that the Barony of Abergavenny welt a Barony by tenure, and the only aik E 0, the kingdom, except the Barony of Arundel; that sees Barony had been granted by WILLIANt the Crootoerorto the ancestors of the present Earl, as one (O. tee Lords Marchers of Wales. The Barony he reler. Wed to consist of eighteen Manors, and to ex tend over twenty-eight parishes: that the Earls of Abergavenny, in the feudal Times, had granted out of their vast domains, several small subonanors to the chieftains under them $ and among others he would prove that the little Manor of Park Lettice Ll mo ver, which consisted only of the fourth part of a Knight's fee, (about five pounds per annum in an cient times) had been granted by the anzient Barons, to hold of the superior Lord, by suit and service. He stated he would prove by the public records of the kingdom, that the Lords of Abergavenny, in all times Lad exercised their rights over the wastes and moun tains of the Lordship, and that in the earliest periods, they had been known by the name of Gwent Land, . or Abergavenny Land. That Courts Leet, and Courts Baron, had been held from time immemorial, . Inc the Lordship, and that at these Courts, Hay- Werds had been appointed, and jurisdiction exercised ever the whole extent of the Barony. He then stated that he would prove by the most irrefragable evi dence, that the mines in dispute, were specifically Mentioned in the oldest records ; and that from the days of Queen Eetz %BETH,. till the period when the present defendants took a lease of the preinises, twenty-eight years ago, the Mountains and mines had teen leased by the Earls of Abergavenny, to the amburys of Point-et-pool ; and that he would close his case by adducing a clopd of witnesses, the oldest people oil the bills, to Prove that to their own know ledge, the lessees of the Noble Earl, had occupied these lands for fourscore years ; and that they had heard from their fathers and their grandfathers, that these mountains, and wastes belonged to the superior Lord ; and would fix by their evidence, that for one hundred and fifty years, the name of the Lord of the little insignificant fourth part of a Knight's fee, had never till within a few years pan been pronounced on the land of Gwent, or on the mountains of Aberga venny. The Solicitor General in the conclusion of his speech adverted to the conduct of the plaihtiffs, and those -to whom they had succeeded a they had slept, he said, quiet in their little manor in the valley, and seen for the last five-and-twenty years, his clients raise the most magnificent works; people a barren mountain ; found and endow a Church, and erect in Mort a City, as a monument of the commercial grandeur, and industry of the British Nation.—That the plaintiffs had seen all these things done, without notice, and. without remonstrance ; and it was to be lamented for the sake of honourable feelings, and high-minded notions of Justice, that the plaintiffs bad • n ot been content to be laid as quietly as their fore fathers h a d b een , w i t hi n t h e h um ble a mbit of their ittle manor. That their attempt by spell evidence as they had produced to over-reach the east, property of the defendants at one stroke,- their mnbition in mounting the hills and attempting to shake a title which had stood 800 years, shuuld have been fairly and duly considered by them. as well with reference to their legal rights, as to the moral fittness of their aleim, helot* it was submitted to thi Jnatise and de- EARTHQUAKE.--The turning round of a por tiori of The Spire at Inverness (mentioned in the letters insqrted in our fourth page) is a most remarkable crctimstance. If the Magistrates, instead of rebuild ing, can by.any means secure it in its present pasition, Inverness will be able toloast. pethaps, of the most singular monument in the world. We would earnestly recommend to them to consult with some competent 'engineer on the pinsibility of joining securely the different parts together, internally, by means of iron clamps. When this has been done, it might be pos. Bible, perhaps, to chip out and replace by new ones such stones as may have been too much injured by the percussion to be allowed to remain. We believe that Mr. Tat FORD is now not very distant froth In verness, directing the works of the Caledonian Canal. The Magistrates of Inverness may perhaps approve of our suggestion, and consult with him on the possi bility of preserving the spire in its present state. In consequence of the Petition from Reading, which was ordered to Le on the table of both Houses of Parliament, and which the Earl of I. ACDEIWALE pledged himself.to bring wider discus ion next &s -ilo°. Governmetat have directed the Boerd of Excise to return a list of all hcuses in the hands of the Brewers. There can be little doubt but Ministers have now :absolved to L;cense Publicans in general, and thus abolish the odious monopoly in which the BiewingTrada has long been held--a monopoly inju rious both to the health of his Majesty's subjects, and to the Revenue. The selection of Sacred Music, at St. Laurence Church, ita.ading,on Wednes tay, was well and respect fully attended by most of the inhabitants of the town and wit,thboierhood ; and great praise is due to Mr. BINFIELD, the whole being under his immediate iili rection. The wordy Members of the Borough of Reading, Sir Joun SINIZON, Bart. and CHARLES SHAM LEFSVRB, E.q. were present. An elegant small Theatre is about to be built on the Surrey side art the beautiful Waterloo Bridge, in the Strand, under the immediate patronage of Punt cess Cummorre and Prince LYOPoLD. It is to be named the Cobuurg Theatre. The sale of the build ings in the Sato s which arc to be pulled down, com menced on Tuesday. last, and the Proprietor of the above new undertaking purchased the materials of the German Chapel, to be used in the construction of their house, which is to be erected in the Chinese style of architecture. The workmen are employed in laying down pipes on Blackfri ars-bridge, preparatory to its being lighted with gas by the City Gas Company. The Trustees of the new Surrey Roads also contracted, on Satur day last, with the New Gas Company formed for lighting the Borough of Southwark, to light Black friars.road with gas: the lanterns will be supported by iron posts, in the same manner as in New Bridge- Street. The Bishop of SALISBURY was thrown from his horse, a few days since, from the firing of a gun in. the street of that city; by which fall his Lordship received a violent contusion on the back part of the head, from which his Lordship is not yet perfectly recovered.
