THE INHAIMTANTS OF wrist:mar= V. THE COM. MISSJOWERS OF MIFFING AND PAVING. Mr. Panic sheaved cause against the Rule obtain ed in this very interesting case. A Rule had been obtained to stew cause why a Mandamus should not issue, to be directed to the Commissioners of Light ing and Paving, calling . on them to enforce the Parish, in whose diitrict it might happen, to repah , the paving and roadway of Piccadilly. He had ap.., peered on the-part of the parish on a former occa sion ; and the Lord Chief Justice (EUenborough) I was pleased to allow time to his clients, to ascertain Whether theist were any dispotable funds in the pos session of the parish, which could be appropriated to r epair th e paving in Piccadilly. It was now ascertained by all parties, that the parish had or disprable fund:" for such a purpose ; but as appli cation was about to be made to another nine (Par liament) for an extension of their means of raising moneys to enable them to make such repair!, he now applied for the Rule Nisi to he dismissed, as that was understood to be necessary previoutly to any applica tion being made to Parliament. Sir W. GARBOW could not but consent to the dis-' missal, as there were nci funds, and as Piccadilly must tcmain in its pretent condition till legia:ttive sutho tity was obtained for raising more money. Lord Era,graoaotion observed, that as such was the case, the Rule must of course be dismissed.-- Rule discharged. THE RIND v. THE INIIAMANTS OF ST. GEORGE'S, MANOVER4QOARE.

VCCHEQUER CHAMBER, NOVEMBER 24. , VtiTHcIPF v. LORD HUNTINGIFI.D. One of the Learned Gentlemen who aprearecfa this case on the part of the plaintiff, r quested that 1. their Lordships would be pleased to postpone the dis cession of the case till to-morrow, in ismuch as Mr. Leach was busily employed in the Court of Chan cery, and his other learned coadjutor, Mr. B. their Lordships woulJ be sorry to be iufornted, was cone fined with the gout. .. Mr. Illausicev, who appeared for the defendant. immediately said, thit he was particularly sorry for the uncomfortable plight of his Learned Friend, Mr. B. because he was a sociable Gentleman. He had dined with him yesterday, and he displayed aignal activity in walking, about eight o'clock at night at which pr. riod he parted with him. Notwithstanding all that, I dte out was a very coorvenient excuse. The Loan Cuter BARON =swelled, with a smile s -- I'that be recollected when Sir Fletcher Norton ws Speaker of the Howe of Commons, a curious incl. dent happened respecting the apologies of friendship A meeting of learned Gentlemen took place upon' some eery urgent business, and the Chairman irk. quired with much solicitude concerning Sir Fletcher Norton, whose presence was absolutely necessary' for the arrangement of their concerns. Several Gen tlemen immediately arose, and made a very ceremo. nious apology for the absence of the Speaker of the House of Commons. They-had called on nim that very evening, and they were authorised by him to say, rlpt his pmfessiorial duties were so multifarious, and the sitaation of the Speaker of the Commons t had been' that day so arduous, that he felt himself i very &flatted and unable to be present at their meet- ins. The Gentlemen had scarce finished their apo logy, when up started the herculeah figure of Sir Fletcher Norton himself, to the great consternation of his apologists, and advanced towards the Chair. • I He thanked his friends very courteously for the care they lied taken of his reputation, and he hoped, that .. lever After, with them inquity would precede apologyii : Mr. DAUNCRY said, smiling, " My Lord, 1 realty dined and walked abolit list night with my learned Friend, and his appearance willcreate, no:consterna. tion within me." The ease sorietime afterwards coinuteiendl k was a Bill filed in Equity, by a Spiritual 'Rector, pray. ling for a leave for tithes. . In Posi**r to the bill, the Arrottwel-GINNIIRAL cons tended; that the Rector hard filed his bill for tithes which did not appertain to him; for he claimed the - ' titlje of Huntingfield pleas-are-park, that, according to immemorial usage, had been covered from tittle of kind by a maw, along with many other fields be+ longing to the same estate. Having dismissed that part of the bill, he maintained that the remaiad= was wholly vexatious,- iirtsnuseli as it claimed tithe; for grating a twenty'-five acre park for one motith, at Michaelmas, the whole tithe of which, according to most scrupulous hwestigation, could not exceed 2s. 9d. In ale case of Griffiths and Wrilliarnt, tried in the year 1695, a bill was filed for the tithe of a cow and a calf, which came to a Sum of Si. bet it was ciiimtised because it was too sernpulouslj mi mate and vexatious. He hoped their Lordships would i r do the present bill a similar favour. . I ' Mt. Datinccv appeared on the same fide, and ob. served, that the present case had depended for five years. The plaintiff had tried his curie before a Jury, and lostat, because they found _ that t h e pleasure 1 -park of Huntingfield possessed a privilege of ireedotet . from tithe in kind from time immemorial. • Another Learned Gentleman, on the sate sidl e said, that really the present bill had been tied to recover a few 'shillings, and • the wtiole proceedings would cost at lea , t ‘6OO, In the case of " Ballet ' 'o.
