LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, DEC. 20. Sir ARTHUR PIGOTT, on the part of Francis Plow den, Esq. moved the Court to dissolve an injunction, issued in the seal preceding the last term, to prohibit the sale of a literary work, entitled a The History of Ireland," written by Mr. Ploivden. The injunction had been obtained upon the affidavit of Mr. Egerton, a bookseller, at Charing-cross, and others, setting forth that this work was an abridg ment of Mr. klowden's Historical Review of Ireland, in three volumes quarto, of which Mr. Egerton was tie poblislier. and the copy-right of which he had pur chased from the author. _ _ Sir ARTHUR PIGOTT argued in support of his mo tion to dissolve the injunction, that "The History cf Ireland" was an original work, and did not in any way trench on the value, estimation, or interest, of the book published by Mr. Egerton. It was urged on the other hand, by evidence in support of the injunction, that severe hundred pages ut one latter publication were copied verbatim et ultra• tin', from the book publishe.l by Mr. kerton, The LORD CilascEr.i.ou having to attend his Ma jesty's Levee, d.lerred the further hearing of this case until to-morrow. COUWI OF KING'S BENCH, DEC. sa. }LLIOT V. SMITH. The Arroaxmr-Grxeum. said this was an action against the defendant, who acted in the capacity of an insurance broker, by which the plaintiff sought to recover from him the sum of .i.:1000, being the amount of a policy which the defendant had been employed to procure underwritten for the plaintiff, but which hi had not procured to be underwritten agreeably to orders. The instructions given to the defendant were, to procure a policy to be underwritten on the ship Mary, for six months from Ist May last, for £10(X), and this policy was to be against all risks. The defen dont, however, had the policy underwritten only against sea risks. The ship was detainod at Ferrol, at which port she touched, and was there condemned—and the Underwriters of course, were not liable under the policy, limited it had been through the fault of the defendant. The premium charged and paid by the plaintiff was four guineas and a half per cent. and, that this was such a premium as ought to have _pro tected the vessel against all risks, was obvious from this circumstance, that the brother of the defendant' had procured the same vessel to be underwritten, to the extent of £l6OO for the same premium. This was not all, for when the plaintiff insisted on having the policy delivered up, he received one, to the amount of £5OO, and two others for £3OO, and elto ; the two last-mentioned bearing stamps posterior in date to the execution of the policy—the Underwriters being the defendant for himself and a person of the name of Morison ; and all of them being spread over the ship and goods, instead of being as the orders bore, confined to the ship :doge. In no respect, therefore, was the policy executed agreeably to orders. The defendant's brother proved the greater part of the cue. „He. on his cross-examination, however, stated, that the defendant had transm►tted to him a copy of the policy in question, at the time of under writing it, which he immediately communicated to Mr. Conteen, jun. the gentleman by whom he had been ordered to v:ecute it, and in his letter observed, this RlOOO was not warranted free from all risk. Mr. Conteen positively denied the receipt of any such letter as the one last alluded to. Mr. PARKE, in defence, stated, that the house of the cleendant had been robbed and the policy carried Of. On this account he had procured it to be execut ed at an after period, and, in this manner was the Stamp-Office date to be accounted for. As to the extent of the risk, he submitted, it was, or ought to have been known to the plaintiff, long prior to the time at which it had been incurred, and no oNection having been made the plaintiff must be presumed to have been satisfied with it. Lord ELLENBONOUGH was of opinion that direct evidence might have been given of the house of the defendant having been robbed ; and of the existence of the policy for £lOOO, if it ever had any existence, in which case it would have been sufficient to make oath to that effect, at the Stamp Office, without exe cuting the policy of new. It would be for. the Jury to say, these proofs being wanting, how far they could credit the story of the plaintiff's being apprised of the extent of the policy underwritten for him? The Jury found for the plaintiff—Damages 41000. LE ROCHE V. OSWIN. This was an action upon a policy of insurance of the ship Juno, from London to the Baltic, to sail wi.h convoy. The fleet went into the Bay of Malmo, and on the morning of their leaving that place to proceed ❑pon their voyage, the Juno took in seine casks of indigo, and in a few hours afterwards got art ound, and was taken by the Swedes. The defence went upon two grounds-Ist, That tiie Juno was not in convoy at the time she was lost, being delayed in taking in the indigo; and 2dly, that the taking in any cargo in the course of the voy ac,,e was tantamount to breaking bulk, and conse quently voided the policy. Upon the first point the Jury found that the taking in the indigo had not occasioned any delay in joining convoy, and the second was reserved for the future consideration of the Court, and a general verdict w•a.. taken for the plaintiff. COOPER V. GREENWOOD AND ROSE. This was an action brought against respectable hop merchants in the Borough, to recover the value of a quantity of hops sold by them to the plaintiff, but which he alledged were warranted a rd and sale anle commodity, but whibt turned cut to be/mi ta:kelt and unsaleable. . - litter going into a good deal of evidence on the part of the plaintiff, to sheer that the hops were foul packed and unsaleable, it appeared, upon the exami natiou of a respectable hop.merchant, who was called on the part of the plaintiff, that although the hops in qaestion differed in colour, yet they were all of the sarue quality, equally good and saleable, but mixed i n s h e packing. It also appeared, that between the time of the sale, and bringing the action, hops in ge neral suffered a great depression in price. The ATTORNLI-GENRRAL, for the plaintiff, how ever, to do away any imputation upon his client's character, said, that the objection was made imine di atel y after the sale of the articlar—Verdict for the Defendant, RECORDER'S REPORT.— Yesterday the Recorder made a Report to his MAJESTY of the following pri soners under sentence of death in Newgate, viz. C. H. Ravenscroft, for forgery ; Eliz. Flinn; P. Cane, and D. Shield, for stealing goods in dwelling houses; E. Edwards, Mary Williams, and Jane Williams, for stealing goods privately in shops ; W. Handcock, C. Rutherford, and J. Hausell, for house breaking ; J. Dogan, for a highway robbery ; Martha Nagle, for stealing Bank notes and monies in a dwel ling-house ; J. Fawcett, for stealing goods in a dwel ling-house ; A. Jnrag, and G. King, for burglary. when his MAJESTY was pleased to respite them all inning pleaiure. RlOT.—Another very serious affray, with parties of Irishmen, took place on Tuesday, in the Hampstead road, arising out of that which took place at St. Giles's, on Sunday. In this affray, three men were taken. away in a lifeless state, and another had his head frac tured, by a woman, and ;. teii. expected to recover. There were abore eighty persons engaged.

Surgeons, late in Majesty's Service, challenge the whole world to pray- a single instance where their Medicine and method of cure li;:ve failed of the desired effect. The practice of litany years in this particular branch of their profession has not given rise to , :tie unsticcessful case. They continue to direct their studies to the treatment and c.tre of Venereal Complairts, and that derangement of the srtein, which is the consequence of the pernicious and wasteful effects et a habit long and mo-t unhappily pursued by the youths of both seas; in the one it will be found to he the unfailing source of harrtin ness ; the other have its ravages fatally developed to them by a et - tress:n g state of debility, which, if not timely remedied, terminates in impotence. 'Chew are its remote and ultimate effects, while coni sti tptions, loss of rn uscular power, and various r.o ec as cot :plaints - usually characterise the earlier stages of this solit ry vice. Of p.'t • sons languishing under the disorders incident to such a habit, their treatment is simple and has never proved unsuccessful, in the course of a long, laborious, and much extended practice. In the most obstinate and complicated cases of venereal infection, such as obstructions in the urethra, spungy excrescences, hard :J. mou rs, callous ulcers, eruptions, seminal weaknOts, gleets, as afro STRICTURES, Whether recent or of long duration, and which have baffled tits skill of other Practitioner- ; are by tlir present improved plas of ten iitroent, effectually and permanent!) , cured, without the patieut suffering the excruciating pain and alarming hemorrhage wliicit often follows the application of the lunar caustic.

T:' . 7 weakness, rt !aration, and debility proceeding from this etime-i• t,' Is speedily removed, and the patient • reaured to sotuul, raid gorous health. But where the debility has for years existed, a • proper perseverance in their restorative remedies, after the Stric ture has been destroyed, is indispensably requisite to revive the • slumbering sparks of life, and to reanimate the Constitution.
