It was however to be observed, that by those perambulations the parish had gained nothing. • The circumstance had not enabled them to enforce the payment of Church Rates and Poor Rates. Although they might perambulate the Inn as the bounds of the parish, that did not mike it • part and parcel of the parish, liable to all the rates which i arishei enforce. They had never attempted to enforce the payment t f rates before, except in one in stance, in 1797. when they were defeated. Oike of the Jurors asked his Lordship whether they might not presume that every place was part and parcel of some parish ? The .lonGe said, there was no legal obligation to draw such as infi.n•nce. The same Jut or again asked, whether the proceeding . :It the Sessions upon the appeal against the return of n totes for the Mi!itia was to be considered decisive? " Year after year the decline t:f trade in the Lev tin is observed. The foreign merchants have dwindled ays ay in Smyrna and Constantinople to a small body, opposed to one another by prejudice or interest, mid retaining hardly a single national quality to di,tinguish them from the herd of Baps who surround them. The fall .ing off in Turkish commerce may first be attributed to the ever-increasing misery of the c , nintrs ; and, secondly, to the introduction of Greek merchants into the commerce of Europe. For twenty years vas: the Greeks have been steadily a ivancing in civilization ; they have established houses in London, Leghorn, and Nluseilles; at the great fairs of Leipsic, Sinagaglia, and Ream:Ate. they purchased the commodities thcm,el'•es which Ea ropean merchants procured by their corresimadents ; hence the Greeks were ahle to bring their merchandize to market at an inferior price, and before the late resit lutilin in Smyrna 'and Constantinople they carried everything before them. Russia had always the greatest trade with Turkey. She drew from thence an im mease•quantity of money, and contributed to the ruin of the Ottoman Empire, no leis by her commerce than her politics. • REVISED TO MICHAELMAS, 1824.

PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE " CoNSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 11, 1824. " The decline of the Ottoman Empire might natu rally be expected from the evil tendency of her politi• cal institutions ; but the rapid progress of decay is no less obvious than surprising. An increasing misery, a decreasing population, an exhausted treasury, a depre ciated currency, are the foremost symptoms of this Em pire's ruin. "The population of Constantinople has considerably diminished within the last six years-84.0,000 is sup posed to be the present number of inhabitants, inclu sive of 120,000 Greeks, 90,000 Armenians, 50,000 Jews, and 2,000 Franks. The entire population of European Turkey does not exceed eight millions. The remedy which the Sultan Selim applied to the national distress in 1807 (the alteration in the currency), la as, the first cause of the national decline, which the reign of the present Emperor has fatally developed.— Mahmoud, without the genius of Selitn, persisted in the pernicious practice of fabricating money with a difference of sixty per cent. between its nominal and in trinsic value. So great was the depreciation at the demise of Selim, that the piastre lark fell limn 50 to 18 sous. In three months a new species of money is to be issued, 20 per cent. inferior to the old.

COI 1:1' OF KING'S BENCH, DECEMBER 16. COOK V. BANKS. This was an action of trespass, brought by Mr. Cook, the plaintiff, against the defendant, for entering his chambers in Lincoln's Inn, and 'seizing his tables. The defendant pleaded that he was not guilty. The question was, whether the chamber where this table was taken was part and parcel of the parish of St. Andrew, Holborn ? if it was, the defendant was entitled to a ver dict, because the parish officers were entitled to make a rate and enforce payment, which they did in this in stance. If it had not been part and parcel of the parish,, the defendant could not legally demand payment of any poor rate for that parish. This action, in fact, was nothing more than a new effort on the part of the parish of St. Andrew, Holborn, to make the Benchers of Lin coln's Inn, who claim to be extra-parochial, pay rates; it was a mere question of boundary. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL, as Counsel for the plaintiff and the Benchers, produced a body of evidence in sup ' port of the right so long enjoyed by the Benchers of Lincoln's inn. A charter in the reign of Henry I. was read, conveying the property of the Black Friars, or Dominicans, situate near Holborn, to Henry de Lacey, Earl of Lincoln, from whom it descended to the Bishop of Chichester and the Benchers. This charter, it was said, proved that Lincoln's Inn Originally belonged to the Church, and like other Church property was not in cluded in the bounds of any parish. The gateway, in Chancery-lane, which has been standing about three hundred years, with the Arms of Lacey, Earl of Lin coln, over it, was also urged, as-proof that the Inn was the property conveyed from the Dominicans to that Nobleman. In addition to this, no evidence could be found of the payment of rates by the Benchers down to the present dispute._ It appeared also, that no tithes had been paid; no Easter dues had been paid; no rates for repairs of the Church. No parish officer had been chosen from the Inn. The watching and lighting rates were not paid; no highway rates had been paid. With re spect to foundlings in the Inn, the Benchers, and not the parish had provided for them; they had also supported their own paupers. There was another thing in their' favour : the parish officers having returned the names of persons in the Inn as liable to serve in the militia, the parties appealed at the Sessions, and the return was quashed, on the ground that it did not appear Lincoln's Inn was part of the parish. This xas the main part of the evidence to prove the defendant could nut be justi fied in making the seizure. Mr. SCA RLETT, on the part of the parish, produced a deal of evidence. A book was read, by which it ap peared that the property of Lincoln's Inn was in three parishes. Mr. Scarlett said the Society of Lincoln's Inn had documents in their possession which they ought to bring forward ; but the Judge held that they were not bound to produce their title deeds against their will. With respect to the book in ques tion, Mr. Lane, the steward of Lincoln's Inn, had pub lished it. He said he compiled the work from ancient documents, and part from Dugdale's History of the Inns of Court. A part was from his own ideas on the sub ject. He had never seen the deed. It described the passing of a fine, by which certain property, consisting of six acres and a messuage, conveyed to a liencher of Lincoln's Inn, was said to be in the parishes of St. Giles, St. Dunstan in the West, and St. Andrew, Holborn.— Evidence was then given of persons who died in Lin coln's Ina being registered as having died in the parish. The searchers of dead bodies for St. Andrew's parish, also searched the dead- in Lincoln's Inn. The most ma terial evidence against the Benchers was that of the pe rambulations made by the boys and the parish officers over the bounds. The boys, according to a very old witness, on several occasions went into Lincoln's Inn hall, where they partook of refreshment; they also went into the Chapel, where Divine service was celebrated. This was the evidence on both sides. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL, in his reply, contended that the Inn was not to be considered part and parcel of the parish, because it might be attached - to the hamlet. Many places situate in a parish did not belinig to that. parish. It was necessary to prove the payment of rates,•and the performance of parochial clinic.. St. Martin's-le-Grand, in the City of London, belonged to a parish in Middlesex. Mr. Justice LITTLEnALE stated the question to the Jury. They had to decide whether Lincoln's-Inn was part and parcel of the parish of St. Andrew, Holborn. The Learned Judge detailed the strong parts of the evidence. The defendant's case was most supported by Mr. 0. F. JONES stated that this was an action brought by the plaintiff-to recover from the defendant compensation in damages for injury sustained by him in consequence of a malicious libel written by defendant. Mr. SCARLETT stated the case for the plaintiff, whom he described to be an attorney in Hereford, where the defendant was a partner in a banking house known by the name.of Bodenham and Co. The libel upon which the present action was brought was contained in a letter which the defendant had thought proper, in January 1822, to vi rite to a partner of his, named Gar raft; in which letter he stated - that Harris had sent to the bank ing house 271. worth of their notes to be exchanged for gold ; that at the foot of the slip of paper containing an account for the notes was a memorandum, stating that. Mr. Harris, having heard that Bodenham and Co. were desirous to know where he got their notes, he should in future endorse on each note the name of the person from whom he received it, as he cared as little about Bodenham and Co. as he did about their notes ; that under this memorandum the defendant wrote the words, 6 6 Bodenham and Co. requite no further proof of his (Harris) being a blackguard," and then returned the paper by his clerk. The letter further stated, that the plaintiff commenced an action, " Cruse v. Tuber ville," with the expectation of putting money into his own pocket ; that the sum for which the action had been originally brought was 7001. or 800/. and that the verdict obtained was only for 3001. that Hank was a defaulter to the amount of two rentals with Mr. Wes ton, the rents of whose estates in that county he re ceived; and thatjMr.Weston would have dismissed him, but that agreeably to the old proverb, be felt it neces sary.to hold the candle to the devil ; and the letter con cluded by expressing a wish that the " law or the ALMIGHTY would soon rid the earth of such a monster as Harris." Upon this libel it would be unnecessary to makeosny observations, as at first glance no one could fail tolome to the conclusion that a grosser libel could not be written, as it was levelled both at the moral and professional character of the plaintiff, who had no re source left but to seek fin- compensation from a Jury of his country. The facts of the plaintiff being an attor .ney and the agent for the receipt of Mr. Weston's rent, and the examined copy of the Record in the case of Cruse v. Tuberville" having been proved, the letter was put in, read, and proved. Mr. ATTORNEY GENERAL addressed the Court for the defendant, after which his Lordship summed up, and the Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—Da mages 201. COURT OP COMMON PLEAS, DECEMBER la. BELL AND BROTHER V. comm. This was an action brought by the plaintiffs, who are extensive ship-owners, to recover a compensation in da mages for loss sustained, in consequence of the defend ant, who is an extensive bkscuit-baker, having supplied their ship, Copernicus, with biscuit that was unsound, and unfit for human food, as provision for a voyage to the South Sea. Mr. Serjeant VAUGHAN stated the case for the plain tiffs at considerable length. Captain McGregor, of the plaintiffs' ship Copernicus, stated that he was about to sail to the South Sea to fish for whales, on account of the plaintiff-, in October, 1821, when the defendant applied to him to take his bread for the voyage from him. He introduced the defendant to the plaintiffs, and they agreed to take half the bread from.) him. It was accordingly shipped on board on the 6th of October, 1821, in bags and casks, about two cwt. in all. The defendant at the time proposed to witness to buy some old bread, that had been a voyage to the South Sea before, which he declined, it being the plain. tiffs' express desire tkat no provision of any kind should be taken but the best. The vessel sailed soon after the bread was shipped, and the defendant's bread, in bags, was first served to the crew, and found good. On the 11th of November they opened the first barrel of his bread, when it was found that the bread in the centre of the cask was old and bad, having Lead weavels and cockroaches in it. They then used the bread purchased from the other persons, which was all good ; and s. ben at sea about 18 months, were again obliged to resort to the defendant's bread, which was so bad and bitter, that even the pigs refused to eat it, and lie was obliged to throw it overboard; and the crew might have suffered great distress, had he not procured bread from a vessel he met at sea, and also at St. Helena. Four of the crew confirmed this statement. Serjeant WILD addressed the Jury for the defendant, and called four of his workmen, who all proved that all thy bread packed and shipped for the plaintiffs was new bread, and fairly packed. They all admitted that the defendant had a quantity of old bread in casks; and Mr. Charles Curtis, who is an extensive biscuit-baker, stated, that weavels would get out of old bleu' in casks in a bakehouse, and get into new bread, and soon injure it. The CHIEF JUSTICE charged the Jury, that the case was important to that meritorious class of men on whom tiv country mainly depended for its security and pro sithity--;-seamen. If they believed the plaintiffs' wit nesses, and he could see no reason why they should not, (they were clearly entitled to their verdict. • The Jury, after a short conslltation, returned a Me diet for the plaintiffs—Damages £BB 19s. 9d. 1.1111.. -;:2'i'i :;. • , 1 • ), ; j 1 t ,-4 Esslllll Ik.
