, , , Friend would deny them. The Learned Gentleman then proceeded to comment on the evidence at consi derable length, but in so close and techeical a mouser that it would be useless to attempt to touch upon more than a few striking points. The circumstance of rents of assize being paid by the conventional tenants, and en tered in the accounts of the steward of the Duke of Corn wall. he considered to be material for the plaintiff's case, inasmech as such a ,proceeding was wholly inconsistent with a leasehold tenure. Another invert tent fact was, the fixedness of the rent paid by these tenants. If they had been leasehold tenants, as was alleged, could it be sup posed that the Crown would have allowed them to con tinue paying for four or five centuries the same rent which they paid in the reign of Edward 111. although the value of land bad increased more than fortyfold. Yet this was the case; for the whole rents of the con ventional tenants, at the present day, did not amount to more than 261. which was the utmost sum they corn pOsed in the time of Edward 111. Therefole,both legally on account of the nature of the rent of assize, and in point of fact on account of the rent having continued fixed, he was entitled to maintain that the hrildings never could have been of a leasehold tenure. He next adverted to the assession courts, which he considered, both in their constitution and practice, as the means by se hich the Crown. or the individuals possessing the duchy for the time being, proposed to contravene or usurp the right of the individuals possessing property in the Duchy. It was important to consider at what period those Courts were established% • It was at a period when violent attempts might be expected to be made upon the rights and property of individuals by those who were in possession of power. The establi•h ment of the Assession Courts was coincident With, the events which disfigured and disgraced the last year a, the rein of Edward 11. and the first years of the reign of Edward 111. Who was the person who had an i:.- terest in the Duchy revenues at that time? It swap Isa bella, who had invaded'the country at the head, of to. reign troops—had promoted rebellion—had become connected with one who had. murdered her husband in a manner too shocking to be even alluded tor t -r Who had committed a'l that was infamous, outtageoqs, and violent, except the last act of indecorum—marrying with her husband's murderer. It was under her autbo rity., and for her bedefit—when all law had ceased to exi-t —when the country from east to west, and from north to south, was one universal scene of anarchy and disorder—!when Mortimer was ruling the kingdom in the infancy of Edward IIL that the first assession coin was held, for the purpose of extending the Queen's tights, en t laying the foundation for the claims u bleb had been subsequeotly advanced. With respect, however, to the rolls of the assession 'courts he thought that the object for , which they were produced had not been attoinesi. le WAS _Clear that the tenants did riot take their titles in those courts, and that the title by which they held was the copy f a roll of another court — namely, the manor court, which was presented to them by the steward in the asse.sional court: What right had the Lord to say, that the proceedings in the assession courts inade their tenure leasehold, when the roll of the manor declared that they held to them and their heirs for ever ? Considerable importance had been attached to the Parliamentary Swan ;*but he Would not have the Jury altogether to believe that all it contained was gospel.. It bad been supposed to be very accurate,' et *llea compared with the fat's as they now oisted, that *Wanes , *had been found wanting. It was n ice,- gaff . to Consider the end and Object for which the.survey hid been' made. It was' made in the time of she. Cons- nmit wealth, and in the document the duchy of Coto% act es as described asp past of the possessions of Charles lase Duke°, Cotikwall." This ChatlesStuan, `it was almost *niedless to observe, was the lateK;tist of England. To whom bad thOse possessions devolved? Was' the nest qerestien. The -document declared that ey I. now s-tiled on trustees for the use of the Comthoowealth," which was represented by the Pa' hatibent that caused the survey to be. 'made. It re ;spited no great stretch of imagination or lack of charity, to suppose that the persons who• made the Sweet would endeavour to enhance as much as - .possible the value of the possessions in which the par : "ti s who appointed them were beneficially interested - Uuder these circumstances, anything contained in the sin vey in favour of the tenant and against the lord, must be taken E very strong and unexceptionable evi dence fr r the former ; whilst on• the other hand, any thing in.favnur of the lord and against the tenant Ought to be viewed with great distru t and sus; icion. Peru Learned Counsel 'then proceeded to contend at very considerable length, that if the tenants in the manor of Tewington had a right to a renewal of their holdings from seven years to seven years in pew tisk y, their hold ing was in its interest a fee. Ills learned friends bad ar gued that their holding could nut be freehold. because it was held by copy; but Lord Coke-had shown that freehold criuld be so held. Here the Learned Counsel quoted the dictum of Lord Cote, with his reasons for it.' Ilis L-arned Friend had also said that itcpuld not be a - fieeliold because it passed by surtendsr,and not by livery .. or leofment; but there was a case repotted its Coke -, be meant the case of 4. Hughes and .Hruris,*---which ' proved the contrary. His Learned Friend bad also said, • 'that it could not he freehold, because it was held by paynsnt of rent; but there were many, .manors en • bids the freeholders held their tenements by payment of a quit rent. 'Then his Learned Friend relied much on the tenants of the manor of Teseington paying a heriot to the Leiden the death of the•terant ; but it was" notorious t • every lawyer that heriot was not ins- i coosia.nt with freehold. He then called the attention of the Jury to the proof which had been given by the detendams rf she usage of the troarits snider their rights, according to the documentary evidence. Now that evidence was lr.ble to twirl observations. The first obseivition was, that a vast part of it came from . the Duke's agents, who, if they had not themselves a direct interest, had al fellow-fee ing with the Duke, who had a direct interest in 'emitting the tights of the tenant; and it was rather a hard oho% that; he was to be caked upon. to take the documents, drawn up by the stewards of the Doke's manors as evi &Ace to support the exteasion of the lord's right , . The second, observation was, that A great d: al of his Learned Friend's evidence went to prove Duke which he did not mean to deny—na oely,that the Duke of Cornwall had many large and esteasite rights, which were by no means in conflict with the rights of the Duke's tenants. lila Learned F. tend had zranplained much of the en croachments which the tenants hartgradually made optm • the ti t ilits of the lord ; but was there no proof r f still larger eacreechnieoti havnigireen made by the lord lip . • cm the ,rights r.t t:.c iertai.t? Ise the lease granted by' gin William in 1698. to Vincent slid Scobell, a lea,se of tin was was, with leave to dig for other minerals, provided they pot leave previously from the owners of the soil. The Berke proviso was cootoned in the leases granted in the reign of Geinge . 1. by George 11. Mho was then Ps ince of Wales ; arid it was not till the year 1742, when the first lease laps granted to the L-mon imily i that that proviso was omitted. In the year 1810, Henn!Williams mad Smith bad slew from the Cypapt,' in which they had granted to thin), not merely power to enter and dig upon all the duchy lands, but also in dig and enter upon all lands whatever ii ;the whole of Cm n wall. In the lease granted to these gentlemen, there was not even a clause of compensation inserted ; but in lieu of that a power was given them to erect buildings for dressing ore, building warehouses, and even for diverting watercourses, as they thought proper, just as if the whole land in Crrnwall belonged to it• Duke, and no otl er pers-n had a right over a single blade of grass that grew within its precincts. The only thing like this lea.e which he had ever heard of was a document which had been produced in this case, by which that legal and con stitutional King, John, had given power to his grantees to divert watercourses 4 without hindrance ftom us. our heirs, and successors," so that even what John did just alter he had been driven out of France, and had mur• deted his nephew Arthur, was a mere joke to what had recently been attempted by the officers t the Duke of Cornwall. The Learned Counsel then proceeded to show, from a review of the evidence which he had pro duced on behalf of the plaintiff, that there never had bten any uninterrupted possession of the minerals in the Duke of Cornwall in the asAisional manors. and called the particular wtention rl the Jury to the resistance which Miss Smith had made to such a claim, when it was attempted to be enforced on her property. It appeared that when a shaft was driven into her tenement, she let cif a quantity of water into the adit and drowned the tools of all the workmen.' In conclusion he insi.ted that even if there had been two or three acts of enjoyment by the Duke of Cornwall, inconsistent with the right of the tenants of the revert teen assessiun try manors of the duchy, and of their 200,000 or 300,000 inhabitants—nay, if these had even been 30 or 4.0 acts of such a nature, net within the last six or eight years, but within the five centuries which had elapsed since the period of legal memory, a Jury ought not, without the most clear and satisfact-ry and decisive evidence, to give a verdict frir the defendants. which would reduce all property within the assessionary manors to be mere leasehold property, held at the will 'of the Duke of Cornwall. It was now past fise o'clock, and Thr LORD CHIEN JUSTICE then proceeded to into up the case to the Jury. It it had appeared to him that the question which they were empunnelled to decide. involved any point of doubt or difficulty,. so is to re- 1 quite from him any lengthened detail of the evidence,' or any tedious explanation of the law,' ffe should have thought it right to lei:pest them to attend in Court again . to-morr ,w, in order that they nr'ght bring to the consideration of it recruited strength 'and Wigoint But the question was now reduced to such a narrow compass, that the legal effect of the evidence might be stated to them without entering into it at any great length. The question in this case is, whether the Duke i.f Cornwall, or the owner of the shit in the manor of Tewington, is entitled to the minerals? and hete again the question narrowed itself, for it merely, applied to the minerals when brought to the %mime ; and the Jury had no question berme them as to the right to dig on the surface to search for minerals below it. It might happen that the tight of the mine rals might be in the lord, and yet that he could not come upon the land to sink a shsft without making terms with his tenant. indeed, he knew that there wete 'in the north of England several mire. held under copy. hold tenute,in which the lord had a right to the mine ' rah . , but had no right to enter on the land to search-for them. Thus, as the lord could not cat the sin face to take the minerals,nm the tenant take the minerals after he bad cut the surface, the minerals most remain untaken until some compromise were . made between the lord and she. tenant. The queStion in the prcseAt ease, as he had before , stated to them, was not whether the Duke of Cornwall had a right to go on to his tenants' land, and dig and do damage to the surface, in circler en get to the mine. fats? but siliether the Property in those minerals-be longed to him Or to the tenant ?. That fact rendered .unnecessary all the evidence which the plaintiff had tendered to prove the 'interruption which had been given to various adventurers in winking for mineral,. fly mmy of the bases which had been put in by the defen dants, it was provided That the lessee should not enter on the land of the tenant to search for minerals with out leave from the tenant. All the evidence, there. fore, which they'had heard respecting the resistance of. feted to persons sinking shafts was referable to the tight of the_ tenant, to prevent individuals from coming upon his' lands ; and pat right would account for the large sums which had sometimes been paid for the surface of the land. and would consequently destroy much of the ',- gement on which the Coun.el for the plaintiff had relied: The Learned Judge then proceeded to state the citcom- Stances under which this action had arisen, and to take * review of the evidence which had been given upon rue side sad the other. With respect to the tenure in die manor of Tewington, he told the Jury that if that tenure was merely a renewal - of the holdings of the 'tenants from seven years to. seven years, even though theie was superadded to it a right of renewal tot ever, did not amount toe freehold tenure; and therefore could.' give the tenants no right to the minerals. He had, re viewed the evidence last night with the uttw'st impar-, tiality, and had given it again that morning the spiciest examination in his power; and he felt himself bound to tell them that it appeared to him that the tenants of the Manor cf Tewington were not freeholders, and that consequently their verdict most be for the defendarts. He believed that his Learned Bri,thers concurred with him in that opinion ; if they did not, or if they thought that he had omitted any thing which he ought to have, stated to the Jury, the present form of trial would 'enable their leir.iships to declare their opinions, and to .apply any deficiancits of which he might slaloms• ionally have been guilty. Mr. Jtistice BATLEY and Mr. Justice PARKE declined ii.'dresing the Jury. as they fully agreed in every thing which had fallen from the Lotd Chief Justice. . The. Jury, aler a moment's deliberation, returned a verdict for the defendants. The Load Cnu.r Jvarice then observed, that after the second day of this trial lie had been convinced its 'his awn mind that each would be the termination of it. %mmer, Par.—Theft)'lowing mode r'f core was' communicated to Captain C , chrai,e, and which he 0.71 he 'lcier fund to fai:: id It is simply to rub the feet at going t bed, with spirits raise(' with tallow dropped" trout a lighted candle into the palm of the hand.

I have been ensued of it (said Mr. Lawrence with some ems fusion), bat I believe have satisfactorily ezplained that matter. Mr. Alderman Wetrissue said, it was exceedingly disgraceful to him to be found in such a mate of inebriation. He would advise him to give his iupils a lecture against drunkenness. Mr. Lawrence said he is k was disgraceful, and henceforth - he would drjnk nothing hut water ; but really his bowels were in a week state, and he was otherwise in trouble, having recently lost £1,400. The Alderman dismissed him, after giving bins a little further l admonition. Robert Siterattin was finally examined on a charge of having stoles two gold watches a diamond ring, and other articles, value above 100 i. from the dwelling home of Mr. Palmer, of great Cumber , laud-streft, iu which he bad been permitted to sleep by his slater, *rpm* to the family, while Mrs. P. was out of town.

Mr. Butler attended to conduct the prosecution. A number of pawnbrokers produced a portion of the stolen property. Mr. Alderman Arms committed Sheraton for the capital offence; and Green, Gray, and Crossley, as receivers.
