THE LORD MAYOR AND CORPORATION OF LONDON V. THE LORD BISFIOT OF LONDON AND MR. BLOUNT. This case was argued at great length on a former day before his Honour, but the facts maybe detailed in a few words. By an Act of Parliament passed a few years ago, a certain sum was granted (150.0001. we believe) for the erection of a Nesv Post-Office.— The scite chosen for that building was in St.Martin's le;Grand, near the corner of Cheapside. The Cor poration of London were the plaintiffs, and the pro prietors of the houses in that district were the defen dants. The Corporation, however, were, it should be observed, merely nominal plaintiffs, for the sum to be paid to the proprietors and lessees was actually . paid by Government, in virtue of the recent Act of Parliament. The Lord Bishop of London had nine houses in that district belonging to him, not as an individual, but as the pro tcmpore holder of the See of London. These nine houses were considered part of the ground which it was necessary for the new Post-Otfice tb occupy ; and accordingly they were demanded by the Corporaiion of London (the no minal plaintiffs) for that purpose. The case came to he heard before the Recorder and a London Jury. when the Jury were of opinion that the sum of 9,89.51., was an equivalent sum for the purchase. In his address to the Jury, the Recorder 'had directed them to find the verdict 'so. 'Mr: Blount was the agent of the Bishop of London; and the *scion now was, whether the suns should 'not be expended in purchasing new lands for the Bishop, he, 'at the same time, to have the power, as given to his prede cessors, antiquojure, to grant leases, with the usual reserved rent? The Recorder had held the leases of the Lord Bishop of London to be not binding, in a certain sense; and the agent of the Bishop brought this before the Court of Chancery, by a bill filed for the purpose. The VICE-CHANCELLOR took an able view of the facts of the case. His Honour then went into a long review of the provisions of the Act of Parliament, and contended that that Act, by the 23d,'27th, 29th, 30th, and 31st clauses, gave the Court of Chancery sufficient power to act in this case. The Act was a special one, and so were the powers it conferred. He thought, therefore, the claim of the 'Lord Bishop of London was fir# and equitable, and must of course be granted. Let therefore the money be expended in purchasing to him new grounds (that is, for him, as the Bishop of the Diocese), with powers to grant leases on reserved rents, as anciently and recently done by the previous Bishops. He (the Vice-Chan cellor) thought this the most equitable decision he could give in the case. There was a minor point of £285 which had been paid to the Bhhop, but this should, he thought, be repaid by the Rev. Prelate. Mr. BMA. then stated some points (of however no public interest) relative to how this would be settlscl us the event pf the Right Rev. William Rowley, D.D. the present Bishop of the Diocese, clyipg. ' The Vics:-Cstmiert g , .toe— That, Mr. Be% is a No. 1380 to 1391. In the bottle were found the in termediate ten numbers. The prisuncr had been the elder Lambert's footman,-and slept in a room oppo site to the office. The office was part of the dwel ling-house. The best character was given to the pri soner up to this charge. Ills Lordship, in summing up, lamented that be could not find any ground . of doubt in the evidence, and suggested to the Jury, as the only thing left to them, in finding him guilty, to recommend him to mercy. The prisoner's unhappy father sat in Court during the trial. William Clark, aged 37, a well-dressed man, and apparently superior to his imputed profession, was convizted of stealing 20 dozen pairs of stockings, "from Royston, a carrier, the property of William and John Turnbull, stocking •manufamurers, in Lang holm, North Britain. The prisoner was found to claim some stockings, which the Turnbulls identified as their's. But the principal evidence was Naylor's, an accomplice—Guilty. CIVIL stun.—BROWN V. JOHNSON. The plaintiff, who is brother-in-law to the defen dant, claimed payment of a bond for £l6O, execu ted in 1781, and interest fr‘im that time, making in all £320. For the plaintiff it was urged, that the bond itself was quite clear, that an endorsement upon it in 1801 proved the payment of interest that year, and that the defendant, a man of 81, acknowledged to the clerk of the plaintiff 's ' attorney, on Tuesday last, that he had never paid it. For the defendant it Was contended that it had been paid, although the. distance of tittle made it impossible to strew when it was paid. The endorsement was a fabrication; it happened to be so dated, that it was within twenty years of the date of the bond and of the date of this action ; but it was not written in 1801, for a copy given to the defendant by the plaintiff since the ac tion began contained it not ; further, it referred to an account which expressed nothing of interest, and could not in any way be connected with the bond: As to the pretended admission of the defendant, the Jury were to consider that the clerk had gone to the defendant's house on pretence of subpietuung his ne phew, whom they did not call, but in reality in or der to pump a confession out of the defer.dant. Nei ther life nor property was safe if evidence like this could be received. llut the defendant had only de nied that he had ever signed such a bond, and with the belief that he had nut, a want of memory not surprising in a man of 81, he must have said that he had never paid it. The strongest circumstance, how ever, was, that the plaintiff had never demanded payment till 37 years after the date, while he was so poor that he was supported by the parish, and while he lived for many years on the worst terms with the • defendant.—Verdict fur the defendant.

A MAD ELEPILINT. On the 21st of November an alarming occurrence took place in the came of the Indian Army, to the no small confusion.of almo s t e v e r y individual. An order for movement having brought all the bagga g e ele i llants to their respective stations, for the conve)- ance of the tents to the next encamping ground : one of thee wsimals suddenly set off in a violent rage, and after running in all directions for a gliOrt . time, shaped his course among a crowd his flight had brought together, fromh having singled out his mabotvt,' he psi:old of the pc,or fellow tinsrlaillrr him to death. This done, he again began to rim • about, and threw the whole camp into the greatest consternation : and serious apprehensions were enter tained for another poor man, who was all the time on his back, having ascended it before the anitr..l first ran away, to adjust the baggage to be conves on him. Many OffLers crme out of their tents wi!h loaded guns, but as the el... Thant would not rest a moment, there was no approaching him within a sale distance. Another male elephant was then brought to the spot, and no sooner was he seen by the enraged animal, than he was most furiously attacked, and after exchanging tin* or four hard knocks against each other's head and teeth, the first one turned away and scampered oat of sight. It was not known where he went. to ; and the man who was on his back, and who was given over as lost, returned into camp after several hours, having saved himself by laying hold of a bough of a litrge tree, near which the elephant was passing us his flight. .
