LAW REPORT. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Nov. It. aucensamara v. yir. PARICt 'moved for a rule to shew Cause why the Mosier should not be directed to tax the plaintiff's costs, 'for maintaining two foreign witnesses in this country, from the 22d ot February, 182*, to the day of the trial at the last adjourned sittings after Trinity Term...... Rule granted. mums s. tea 3113101 , Of memo AND maw. This was a question for the opinion of the Court ) on a writ of error farm the Court of Common Pleas, on an action of pare hapedit, brought in that Court by the widow and adininisiratrix of the late Rev. Thomas Rennell, Prebendary of South Grantham, against the Bishop of Lincoln, the Rev. Henry Mirehouse, the pre sent Prebendary of South Grantham, and his brother, to whom he had presented the rectory of Welby, in the county of Lincoln. The advowson of the rectory ot Welby is appendant to the prebendary of South Gran tham of the cathedral church of Salisbury. The incum bent died during the lite of the late prebend, Mr. Ren nell, who also died before he had presented thereto ; having died intestate, Mrs. Rennell, as administratrix, presented a Mr. Oiler to the rectory of Welby. The present prebendary, Mr. Mirehouse, also presented at the same time his brother, the Rev. ‘Villiam Mirehouse. The Bishop refused to induct the Clerk presented by the plaintiff, and the only question for the opinion of the Court was, which party was entitled to the presentation? Mr. PArrsson was this day heard at consid rable length in support of the writ of error, contending that the right of presentation on the death of the incumbent of the rectory of Welby immediately vested in the late Nr. Re n nell as a chattel interest, and, therefore, his ad tsinistratrix, to whom the tight had descended, was en titled to the presentation, and not his successor. The Learned Counsel cited various authorities to support his view of the case, and submitted that the present case was analogous to the right of presentation by a layman, which, in the event of his death before presentation, *vested in his executor, and not in the heir-at-law. Mr.. Sergeant DOYLEY was about to address the Court in support of the deci,ion of the Court of Com mon Pleas, when the Lord Chief Justice intimated that they would hear him on Tuesday next. Mr. SCARLETT moved for a Rule to skew cause why a mandamus should not issue, commanding Lord Veru lam, the Lord of the Manor of Kingsbury, and the steward of the said manor, to hold a court for the pur pose of admitting as a copyholder in that manor, a per son who claimed an estate of inheritance therein.— ;Able granted. . COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Nov. 17. SMITH I. MARMOT. Mr. Sergeant WILD& moved for a rule to set aside the interlocutory judgment of nonsuit in this case, on the . ground that proceedings had been taken by an attorney 'who was not an attorney in the Court of Common • Pleas, but in the King's Bench only, and had carried on proceedings in this Court under the name of another attorney, who had not given a written consent that his name might be used, as St was necessary he should do py 2 George 11. chap 29. sec. 10. The Court were of opinion that the ease would require further ;consideration. and granted the rule. MTh" w W011117M16 Mr. Sergeant WILDS had on a former occasion ob. lained a rule to chew cause why the judgment which bad been given for the plaintiff in this case should nut be set aside, on the ground that the plaintiff's attorney bad been guilty of irregularity in obtaining it. The fasets of the case were simply these. Some time since, the plaintiff, with his wife and niece, were travelling in a chaise on the road, when they were met, by the cara vans of the defendant, who was not with them himself at the time, but had intrusted them to the care of a man, from whose negligence the plaintiff's chaise was upset, • and his wife and niece slightly injured. Plaintiff ap plied to his attorney to ask his advice to recover da mages for the injury they had sustained ; and this attor ney had brought three separate actions in the names of 'the three persons who were in the chaise, against the defendant. Immediately on hearing this, defendant called on the plaintiff, desiring to know what be should - pay to compromise the matter, and begged that no fur ther expenses might be incurred by legal proceedings. 'The attorney, however, did proceed, and obtained judgment by default in each case. He then issued writs of inquiry, and obtained a verdict for Upwards of 1004 It was for this irregularity that the present mo 'tion was made. Mr.SergeantVALIGRAN contended that due notice had been given. Defendant had said that any letter or no tice that should be sent to Windmill -street, he should receive. Notice had been served there, but the defendant was not there at the time, and the woman in the house refused to say where he might be found. He contended that this was sufficient notice. The LORD Cuts, Jusuce said, that the defendant had not said that he should certainly receive any notice that might be sent there, but that there was a proba bility of his doieg so, as he should call there when he 'retttrned to town. The word he made use of was, that be should call, not that he lived there. His Lordship was of opinion that the proceedings had been conducted with irregolarity, and consequently the rule should be granted. The reef of the Court cocaine& • COURT OF CONDELEGATES, Nov. 17._ At the time the Court was about to adjourn, the LORD CHIEF JUSTICE observed that be bad received a letter complaining of the conduct of an attorney. His .Lordship begged to say this was irregular; it was no . use for persons to address themselves to the Judges, I they could hear no complaints or statements of miscon duct of peiSORS behind their backs. if any patties had reason to complain, it must be by affidavit, which should be read in open Court, giving the parties complained of an opportunity of defending themselves.

Dr. LER (one of the Surrogates) inquired into ;he progress of the suit of 41 Brisco against Brisco," in coarse of appeal from the Consistory Court to the High L'Autt of Delegates. The Registrar replied, that the warrant bad been sent op the first day of the present tem. Dr. LER reiterated his protest against the delay which had taken place in this suit, a hich he declared he 'would bring under the notice of the High Court.

The principal upon which Tira boschi accounts for the universal disposition even among persons who really would not wrong you of a farthing in any other way, to plunder you of your books is an ingenious one. He says that people seem to glory in 'these thefts as much as the monks of the darker ages used to emit in stealing the relics of a Saint, and for the same reason. However, as this is a Protestant country, it is time the custom was put a stop to. I have often thought of imitating a systematic refuser of requests, with whom I have the pleasure to be acquainted; whenever any one asks a favour of him, with which he does not care to comply, answers that he has made a a rule against acceding to whatever you desire of him, and adds, that for your sake, he deeply deplores the circumstance, as he should otherwise have had the greatest pleasure in doing you the kindness you seek at his hands. But I fear that con•ideting the notoriety of my geodnature in book lending, I should won be quizzed out of this shabby kind of excuse. Something I must decide upon, and that promptly, for my library begins to look such an assemblage of maimed, muti lated, broken-backed, vagabond-looking subjects. that I protest I sometimes fancy I am in an hospital, provided by voluntary subscription, for lame and invalid authors. The most fea s ible plan which suggests to me at this moment, is to call a meeting of private book collectors at Freemason;•-hall, to take into consideration the pro priety of passing the following resolutions : Ist. Resolved—That the practice of lending books to one's friends has become not only an intolerable nuisance, but has also proved ex tremely injurious to the best interests of literature, including those of the trade, inasmuch as it has prevented many persons from pur chasing books who have it in their power to do se, and has been moreover the means of depriving literary men and collectors of limited incomes of volumes, which they have found it extremely inconvenient to replace. 21. Resolved—That one half the books lent for the accommoda tion of friends, are destroyed for any subsequent useful ornamental purpose; and that the other half is stolen, some by Ladies who rob you per force, others by demure looking scoundrels who pillage you per stratagem. Sci. Resolved—That as there arc many persons in the world too poor or too mean to subscribe to theCirculatingLibraries of Maur./ Hookbam, Andrews, Ebers, or the Public Library in Conduit street, each Collector shall open a Subscription, at his or her expense, for the benefit of their poor stingy friends—provided always those friends will consent to plead for the favour iu forma ramrgriL 4th. Resolved—That book-lending be in future wholly abolished among private collectors, and that the regulation subscribed to by the undersigned possesiors of some of the most extensive and valu able collections about town, be considered a sufficient excuse for the abandonment of this pernicious practice ; any collector infring ing on this edict, to undergo the penalty of being hung in effigy on the gibbets or borders of Blackwood, the Monthly, New Monthly, and London blagsaines. It this plan, and these resolutions, do not produce the desired effect, I shall consider the evil as insurmountable. THE SABBATH ➢NUS6.-.A Pam We were delighted with the first, and riot less pleased with the second part of this little unassuming publica tion, whose sentiments, fraught with the putest spirit of piety, and expressed in language worthy of their divine chat acter, must come home to the hearts of all. The Author has selected a theme well fitted, from its solemn yet inspiring associations, for the higher purposes of poetry, and has done it adequate justice. His apostrophe to Virtue is ai beautiful as the following description of its trials is forcible and true: . Say where is virtue bred! Ms not in courts or camps, the seats of fame, Nor in the crowd where folly still is first, Nor is it pinned to faghion's changing sleeve, Where every colour takes its turn to shine; Nor will its manly tune be echoed there Where languid beaux address exhausted belles In words that faint, and thoughts that will not form: No! 'tis in humble and in troubled scenes The hopeful nursling thrives. Adversity Knows best to rear it; like the oak, it grows Against the storm ; and, as the dawn awoke In darkness, and creation from the fogs Of chaos burst in glory—oftener climbs Through cloud and tempest in the hills of light, Than by the side of ease in safety strolls O'er the wide campaign where the sun is free ! On the subject of Hope, the painting is brilliant, and the spirit is sustained throughout without the least di minution : But Hope can never fail: By this inspired, The captive, though for life condemned, looks up To see the smiling shadow rend in twain His prison gates, and ope' them wide as air: By this the solitary, left to starve On some lone island, in his fancy bears The voice of succour rising from the deep, And strikes his breast to see the signal ay ; By this the wretch, who to the galley grows, Some respite finds, as in the evening wave His oar, in dripping spangles melts away, And for a while, in spite of fate, is free s By this does Aide,' rushing from her place, The chains of Nature broken round her waist, Dash seas and climes aside, her chief to meet And crown him on her blazing promontory, Though distant and a slave. The sick, the faint, The bankrupt fortune, and the broken heart, The dying, nay, the very dead, lie down In hope. _ _ _ ANGERS. The Cathedral of Angers is remarkable for throe very high steeples, built on its portico, of which that in the middle seems to be suspended in the air ; it merely rests upon the foundations of the other two. The roof is high, large, and bold, not being supported by any pilLars.— The wall here is nearly a mile in length : there are five alleys, well kept and'entirely shaded with very high elms; handsome seats are on the sides. The tiding school is an elegant building : many English Noblemen and Gentlemen have belonged to this Academy : the arms of each are painted on vellum and framed, and the names are written unties them.—Cradock's Miscet laneous Memoirs. Since writing the above, my elegantly bound copy (India paper proofs) of 13atlye's Italy, lent by my eldest daughter to one of her schoolfellows, who is said to draw sweetly, has been put into my bands, with the young Lady's compliments and thankiron turning over its pager, I find.that the fair borrower must be an admirer of Turner, for she has slobbered gamboge over every other leaf, spilled a saucer of vermilion over the Leman, thus-converting it into a red sea, and so marred and indented the prints in her attempts to trace them through tissue paper, that the backs of them look ex actly like pasteboards pricked into holes to decorate drawing-room grates. As for the Morocco binding it is so bedaubed and besmeared with every variety of opposite colour, that it presents as striking a combina tion of hues as a dying dolphin or a summer rainbow. The book, befo►e it got into the clutches of this boarding school minx (1 abomina'e boarding school girls), was honestly worth ten guineas, and would now be no bargain at .a price of as many shillings. Oh, that Job had been a b 'ok-lender! I see clearly that I have only one alteroative, and that is, to set fire to my house, and claim compensation for the loss of my li brary at the rate at which it was insured.
