LAW REPORT. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Nowears 29. KELLY V. WOOD. This was an action of assurrpsit by the plaintiff, as clerk in the office of a defunct newpaper, called Ihe Natio*, against the defendant, as printer and pro prietor of it, to recover damages for his services while in that capacity. Several witilesses were culled for the plaintiff; who proveJ that he had hero employed in his office, but could not prove either any express agreement, or how long he had been in his employment. The Lorin CHIEF JUSTICE, at er observing to the Juty that ersons so employed were usually paid from week . to w• ek, held t':at this evidence was not sufficient to charge the defendant. The v!rintiff was therefore nonsuited. BURY v. %Nuot.m. _ Mr. F. PoLLocz stated, that the plaintiff was a wine. m chant, at Cambridge. During the years 1814 and 1815, several dozens of wine were sold and delivered to the defendant, who was then at the University. Having left - College, the plaintiff could not apply to him for payment, but having discovered his residence the present action was brought. The defendant pleaded, first, that lie was not liable, the alleged debt having been contracted more than six years since. Secondly, that he made no promise to pay. The Learned Counsel raid, he should prove the delivery of the wine, and produce a letter written by of der of the defendant, which would take the debt out of the Statute of Limitations. Juba Miller said, he lived with the plaintiff, at Cambridge. He remembered several dozens of wine were delivered to defendant, at the University, in 1814. Another witness said, he called on the defendant on the subject of the plaintiff's demand. Mr. Randolph told bins he had left College nine years, and did not leave a single debt unpaid when he quitted the University. • The plaintiff having failed in proving his case was nonsuited. THE RING V. SPENCER. This was an indictme.it against William Spencer, charging him with the heinous crime of wilful and cor rupt perjury. The prosecution imputed to the defend ant, that the perjury was committed in an answer put in by him to a bill filed by one Edwards, the prosecutor of the indctment, in the High Court of Chancery. It appeared from the evidence that Spencer, who is the owner of some land in Hans-place, Hackney-road, entere.l into an agreement to lease some ground for building to Edwards, who is a plumber in the same neighbourhood. After the agreement Edwards built a house, and some dispute arose about the terms of the lease. Edwards thin find a bill in the Curt of Chan cery, to riforce the per for mance of a specific agree. meat. The defendant put in his answer, and swore that he did not enter into any such agreement. The agree ment in the bill was in the following terms:—William Spencer has agreed OD his part to give the said Edwards a right of way over the ground and ditch in front of the said piece of gtound. S,:encer, in his answer, swore, that at the time he signed the agreement, it contained, alter the words right of way, the following words : "So long 'is the said ground belongs to the said Wm. Spencer, on his paying William Pritchard for the use theleoi." The prosecutor ' in the assignment of perjury, alleged that. ietht time he • made the agreement, the words sWoin to by Spencer were not in it, but had been struck out by consent of Spencer. The question then was, whether at the time the defendant signed the agreernttir,the'words were or were not :buck out? To convince the Jury that they were struck out, the prosecutor E.la at ds cailed a witness named Vaughan, who was present when the agreement was signed. The witness said be.objected to the want of proper right of way, and in befialt ul the prosecutor Edwards struck out the words in the agtr;ernent which made the tight of way conditioival. The defendant hesitated a short time, and at last signed the agreement with the erasure. The subscribing witntss to the agreement, a labourer named Douai!, and &hearth the proiectiior; suppiirted the statement of Vaughan. I\lr. GunN EY, for the Jeftniant, called three respect able witnesses to the character at Lis client. They had known him mote than forty years, and his character had always been that of an honest industrious men. The Loan CHIEF JUSTICE, in his charge to the Jury, adverted to the excellent character given to the defend ant, and oberved, that if there was a doubt on their minds, the defendant ought to have the full benefit of it. The Jury, after some deliberation, found the defendant Guilty. THE NINO IN THE PROSECUTION OF J. E. GRANT V. F. OLDFIELD. Mr. Data:Air moved fur a rule to shear cause, why the Marshal of Ate King's Bench should not be restr *hied from granting the rules of the prison to the defendant, who had been convicted of keeping a com mon gaming house, and was sentenced by the Court to be imprisoned, and pay a fine of 5,0001. and it was for the tine that he was now in custody. He (Mr. afnmar:) had the affidavit of a person who had seen the defendant Without the rules, at a sale in the City. 71!e Marshal had been informed of the circumstanc-, b.it he gave*.no sati:factory explanation respecting it. The Cowie granted the rale; old directed that copies should by served oa the Marshal anti the defendant. COURT •OP COMINION PLEAS, Novitatamt '29. " CHILD V. GRACE. This was an• action for assault and battery. The plaintiff kept a public-house, called the Coliseum, and the defendant came into the house between eleven and twelve o'clock at night, asking for a glass of the plaintirretus'ed, and an altercation ensued, which terminated in the defendant giving the plaintiff a black eye. These *eared to have been some rhisun de, standing between the parties respecting the lease of the house. The plaintiff only asked moderate damages, in order to.restrain the defendant from having tecoui to such arguments in future.—Damages 51. 11AMPORD V. CARTER. This liras an acilon for money lently the plAiniiff to the defend:int.• The patois were on the point of entering into partnership; and the plaintiff had lent the defendait 1,5001. to pay off his debts previnusly to enteiiiig into the pat tn. rsll , i;. The defence set up was i 'lliat - this' money formed part of the joint stock. The Loan CnivJusvtorwas clearly of opinion that it was a loan, at the Jury (mind a verdict for the plaintiff—Dasuages 1,5001. and interest.

IMPORTANT TO SELECT VESTRIES. CMELMSPORD, Noma= fo. Some doubts having arisen in this parish as to the extent of the controul which the select vestry possessed over the pftrisb fund raised by the Poor Rate, in regard to matters pot connected with the care. f the poor, the following case was submitted to Mr. Marryatt, which, with that Gentleman's opinion, will no doubt be ac ceptable to our Jteaders, and will. serve as a guidance , to other parishes: By the 59th Geo.lll. chap. 12th (the Select Vestry Act), it it enacted, s' That every select vestry is ent-1 powered and required to examine into the state and condition of the poor of the parish, and inquire into and determine upon the proper objects 14' relief ; and to the nature and amount of the relief to be given, and in each case shall take into consideration the character and conduct of •the poor persons to be relieved ; and shall be at liberty to distinguish, in the relief to be granted, between the deserving, and the idle, extrava gant, or profligate poor; and such select vestry shall make orders in writing, for such relief as they shall think requisite, and shall inquire into and sup, iiiitend the collection and administration of all monies to be raised by the Poor Rates, and of all other funds and mo ney, raised or applied by the palish to the rtliel of the poor ; and further, where any such select vestry shall be established, the Overseers of the poor are reqiiited, in the execution of their office, to conform to the direc tions of the select vestry, and shall not (except in cases of sudden emergency or urgent necess,ty, and to the extent only of such temporary relief, as such case shall require, and except by order of Justices, in the 'cases therein provided for), give any further or other relief or allowance to the poor, than such as shall be ordered by the select vestry." The select vestry in question has considerable doubts whether the whole business of the office of Overseer is not subject to the controul of a select vestry, without reference to an open vestry of the parish, save only the reserving the reports of such select vestry, although there are many statutes directing certain acts to be done by Overseers, such as levying and paying gaol and county rates, &c. also the statute of the 18th Geo. c. 19, relating to constables' three months ac counts, for doing the business of the par is!t. Your opinion is requested, with reference to the Act : as to the authority of the select vestry in the application of the Poors' Rate, namely, whether the power of the select vestry is confined exclusively to the orders of payment for relief of the poor only? or, whether the select vestry has power to order and controul the pay ment of the cons:Ai:es' charges and disbursements, and other sums payable by law out of the Poor Rates ? And be pleased to advise fully hereon. OPINION. By the first part of the same section of the Act, the inhabitants of any parish, assembled in vestry, are em powered to establish a select vestry, " for the concerns of the poor of such parish," and the persons nominated select vestrymen, together with the Alinister and parish officers, are to constitute a select vest! y, " for the care and management of the concerns of the poor."—The authorities given to the select vestrymen in the subse quent part of the section (which is alone stated in this case) must, in my judgment, be construed with re ference to the purpose for which only the select vestry is e,tablished, and for b.der enabling them to execute that purrse, viz. the care :cid management of the con; cerns of the parochial poor. It by no means repeals the statute of the 18th George HI. ch. 19, by the 4th section of which, the constables' accounts are to be pe riodically delivered to the Overseers, and by them lard before the inhabitants, for approval or disallowance, by a majority of such inhabitants; nor varies the liability of the Overseer, to pay the county rates, wider the 55th George 111. ch. 51, sec. 12, or to make VAI lOUS payments under other Acts or Parliament. It the )e.ect vestry had the power of conduuling these payments, they would have the power ot subjecting the Overseers, who are liable for them, to distresses, and (1 believe) in some instances, to imprisonment, without being them selves subjected to either: and the Legislature cannot have intended that one class of men should be punish. able for not performing a duty, in the execution of which they *are controulable by another class. Indeed, I conceive the select vestry's superin , endance of the money raised or applied for the relief of the poor, and the requisition to the Overseers to conform to such vestry's directions, ouglr, with the context, to be under stood as extending no far Cher than the expenditure for the subsistence or reli-1 of the poor ot the parish.

FIRE AT THE OLYMPIC THEATRu.—Monday night, during the perforinance of the new N:'rwegian Burletta of Hans of Iceland ; or, the Iron Casket, tt e audience were seriously alarmed by the smell of fire, and a volume of smoke, which was soon ascertained to pro ceed from the box lobby, where a beam was discovered to be on fire, in consequence of one of the men em ployed in the Theatre having placed a lamp imme diately under it, and so close, that the flame c;;mtnu . nicated to it, and was fast ascending, when it was most ' fortunately arrested, whereby the most serious conse quence, were prevented from ensuing. A • village Yorkshiteman, with mote money than brains, went to the uratorioa, at York, ith no more notion of s hat an Oratorio was, beyond what he could collect from the meaning of the word, than a Calmuc Tar tar. On his return to his brother boors, he described the Society, as he called it, a great imposition : for instead or being great orators, they sung their speeches ; and he never heard such a squabble before, for they all' differed one among another. One man got up with a newspaper in his hand, saying " that he was the KING;" and another followed him, who was the KING likewise ; and while they were differing which it should be, he fell asleep ; and when be awoke, everything was fettled." lie merely went to " see loife ; and deer loife it was." Two women, named Davis and Nixon, have been committed to Stafford gaol, charged on the Coroner's warrant with the wilful murder of a new-born illegiti mate child of the latter, at Leek. KELLY'S. RENTINISCENCLIS. At Yiples the profession of a nun is a most magn: . fi.: cent and impress ve sight : if the Lady be tf a noble and rich family the luxury ,fispliyed on the occa sion is excessive; she is covered with diamond=, all of which, if she does not posiess them herself, are borrowed or hired for the occasion. The young and be•ut fol daughter of the Duke de Monteleone, tl e richest N..- , bleman in Naples, was destined by her family to take the Ted : she consented without a mut mur to quit the world, provided the ceremony of het profession was rer formed wilt splendour, and a sine qua non was, that Cafferelli, the great soprano. singer, should rerform at it. It was represented to her th tt he had retired with a fine fortune to his estate in the interior of Calatoia.' and had declared his determination per/et- to sing again. " Then," said the reasonatle young Lady, " / declare my determination never to takt the veil unless he does. He sang six years ago, when my cousin was professed, and I had rather die than it should he said that she had the first sineer in the world to sing for her, and that had not." The fair Lady was firm, and her glorious obstinacy was such, that her father was obliged to take a journey into Calabria, when, v WI much intreaty, and the e ffer of an immense sum of money, he prevailed on fferelli to return with him to Naples. He sang a salve regina at the ceremony, and the Signora having gained her point, cheerfully submitted to be led like a lamb to sacrifice, to eternal seclusion from the world. Mr. Kelly being at Calais, met a Captain Barnes, who was flying the country, having been second to the notorions Dick England in his duel, for which the Judge in his charge to the Jury endeavoured to procure a verdict of wilful murder. It is known that Dick England had also fled to Holland, and returned to take his trial, having in the interim, done some service to the Duke of York at the Helder. Bat the secon I, Captain Dunes, was an Irishman, wi h a strong verna cular twang, a powerful man, and remarkably tall; he had a male servant not.quite nine years old, and very short. for his age. He was dressed c:p d: pie like a jockey. Nothing could be more diverting than to see the huge master and the diminutive servant going along the beach to the b , at. The master took long Bobadil like strides, and Tom seas ordered to walk behind him. Every two minutes, the oldster would stop and cry out " Tom, are you after me?" Tom answered, 4 4 Yes, Captain." The Captain turning to me and vociferating 44 By the riper of Leinster, Sir, he is the finest man servant in Europe;" went on a few steps further, then repeated, "Tom, are you after me ?'' " Yes, Sir,"— " He is the first rifer and shaver on the face of the known universal world." In short, the Captain thought that his valet was the first of all valets. It was such a truly laughable scene, that when I returned frum France and Jack Bannister of it, it tickled his fancy so much, that many and many an evening, to please Lord Derby and Miss Farrel), &c. &c. in the green-room, did we enact it. Bannister on his knees, representing Goliah, and myself his master. Bannister, with a great vein of comic humour, made the dialogue truly amus ing, as, indeed, he did every imitation which he gave. I and Storace, accompanied by a young 'Gentleman, went to Drury-lane, to see Richard (,'tear de Lion. Just as we entered the boxes, - Richard was singing the ro mance fr• m his prison, most loudly accompanied, from behind the scenes, by two French horns. I was as. tonished to hear an accompaniment so completely at variance with the intention of the composer, and which entirely spoiled the effect of the n:elody ; nor did I think much of the vocal powers of the royal captive; and turning to Storace, said, "If his Majesty is the first and best singi.r in your theatre, I shall not fear to ap pear as his competitor for public favour." Storace laughed, and told me, that the Gentleman who upon that special occasion was singing, was Mr. John Kemble, the 'celebrated tragedian, who, to serve the proprietors, had undertaken to perform the part of Richard, as there was no singer at the t 1 eatre capable of repre,enting it. Kern. ble laughed heartily when he was cold that I bad mis taken him for the Drury-lane Orpheus. I heard that when Kemble was rehearsing the romance sung by Richard, Shaw, the leader of ti.e band, called out from the orchestra, Mr. Kemble, my dear Mr. Kemble, you are murder ing titre." Kemble, calmly and coolly taking a pinch of snuff, said, "My dear Sir, it is better for me to murder time at once than w be continually beating him as you do." _ _ _ observation Mr. Sheridan once made to me about Coirgreve's plays, I venture to repeat, it has so much genuine wit about it: he complained to me that Love Jim- Love had been :o much altered and modified for the more de.icate ears of modern audiences, that it was quite spoiled. " His plays," said the wit, "are, I own, somewhat ltcentious, hut it is barbarous to mangle them; they are like horses, when you deprive them of their vice, they lose their vigour." POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. A drover was brought before the LORD Above, charged by the new. Mr. Brougham, one of the Members of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, With having neglected to wear his badge ; but as the drover was not driving cattle at the time he was seen by the Rev. Gentleman, the Lord :Mayor discharged him. His Lordship expressed his opinion, that the Society had done much good, but he apprehended that the zeal with which the objects were pursued was often immoderate. GUILDHALL Jahn Warner was committed for stealing a silk handkerchief from the pocket of Mr. Bradford, a surgeon, 'as he was passing the mins of the houses in Sboe•laue, pulled down to make room for the new market. Mr. Bradford had lost five handkerchiefs in a short time, on the same spot, and was now on the watch for a similar attack. Mr. .411 croft, the landlord of the watering-house in the Old Bailey, and Roberts, the waterman of the coach-stand in Smithfield, appeared to answer the complaint of William Barrow, who alleged, that seeing some coachmen come in with a Gentleman who had a co:tilde' able quantity of gold about him, and perceiving by their winks and nudges that they intended to rob him, he took the liberty of giving the Gentleman a hint, when the whole body of coachmen Ml on him, beat him, and robbed him of ss. and a- handkerchief. lie could not identify Roberts as one of the men who struck him. Sir Jamas SHAW dismissed the complaint, conceiving that the complainant might have 1011, though he did not miss, his handker chief before he entered the house, and because Barrow admitted he could not say any one in particular had struck him a single blow. BOW-STREET. A young fellow, named James Edwards, was brought before Mr. HALL. yesterday, charged on suspicion of having stolen a 104 Sank note, a gold watch, and other valuables, the property of his late master, Mr. Fryer, of the Upper Mall, Hammersmith. The prisoner had been in Mr. Fryer's service more than two years, when, on the 9th of last September, he was discharged under the following circumstances :—On the evening of that day the house was robbed of the property in question; in such a manner as made it evident that it was done with the contrivance of some of the servants.
