• 1 - s % LAW RRPORTS. 'CELLAR'S COURT, Auo. 14. sztikiez CUM.—RANKIN V. RUIRISSON. .Hls Honour Owl/ICE-CHANCELLOR gave judgment this mom . :ng in this care; which was an application on the part of the members of the Unite Service Club. for an injunction to restrain the Commie sirnerti Of Woods and Forests, the Right Hon Wm. Huskisson and Sir Robert Lawler, from building stables. ee.c. on land to which the i'lub contended they were entitled, by the agreement entered into with them by Mr. Numb, on the part of the Commissioners of Wood' and Forests, to retain as a garden in front of the magnificent struc ture which they have erected on part of the site of Carlton House.— fly the affidavits in the cause it appeared that in February, 1826, application was made by the noblemen and gentlemen composing the ('nited Service Club to the Commissioners of Woods and Forests :or a plot of ground, for the purpose of building their Club-house. The original proposal was for a piece of ground, of certain &men ! ions. The Club not thinking the first sufficient, applied fir a fur. :her piece, which was granted to the extent of 18 feet. Upon the &lark a question was raised, whether there was originally an . greement for the ground that was first proposed to be taken, and afterwards. an agreement for the second plot of ground, or whether the matter merely rested in proposal until there was one final agree lient made for the whole ? fly the affidavit of Mr. Nash, it did not .listinetly appear what was his understanding upon the subject, the Ittatter, therefore, was left in doubt ; but it most distinctly appeared from the affidavit, that there was a plan made out yr which it appeared that the club were to have a clear front age to the south, looking over the whole of the vacant space •alled the garden. It was quite clear from all the affidavits -.ken together, though some of the letters which had passed between the parties raised a question on the fact whether there were more plans than one, in point of fact that there was but one plan, and by that plan it was clear that for the whole of the original p piece of ground there should be an open front to the south. His Honour thought upon the affidavit a question might be raised, ao to what was the mutual understanding between the parties. And upon the whole of the counts named it was perfectly plain that the United Service Club must be considered as having contracted to take the original piece of ground, with a clear frontage towards the south ;- there was, therefore, no doubt that as to the thirteen feet encroachment, the present building could not be permited to nand. The next question was as to the eighteen feet, the piece of ground last taken by the Club. The Court thought, taking into consideration the affidavit of Lord Grantham, Gen. Rowan, and Gen. Brown, that that part was taken with an understand ing that it should also have, as well as the plot of ground pit. viously granted, an open frontage to the south. These gentle men, in their affidavits, stated most positively that in every plan shown to them by Mr. Nub, the frontage to the south wan open. It was true, however, that Mr. Nash, in his affidavit, totally denied this, and stated that it was never his intwitim that the agreement entered into should preclude the Camila. sioners of Woods and Forests from building on the land as dig had done. The intentions, however, of Mr. Nash were not sull. tient. The Court, therefore, upon the whole was of opinion that the Commissioners of Woods and Forests were not instilled la erecting any building; therefore the injunction must go to am train the continuance of these buildings, and against the cawids. lion of that which was begun.—lnjunction granted. This was the last day of his Honour's sittings. ~ :. i , found the note concealed in the lining of her stays. Sentence of Death recorded.

NISI PRIUS COURT. LIBEL.—JARRETT V. CHORLEV. This was an action for libel. Mr. Sergeant Arrnitzws stated the case for the plaintiff, whom he described as a respectable merchant, carrying on business under the firm of Jarrett and Tadman, No. 19, Yenchurch.atreet, London, and having a private residence in Grenada-place, Kent-road. The defendant was also a merchant, carrying on business on Dowgate hill, and between him and the plaintiff several dealings had taken place. From some peculiar circumstances, however, the latter was led to suppose that he had fallen in with a person who was using him unfairly. A large balance was due from defendant to plaintiff, an account of which was forwarded to defendant. who returned no answer to the letter inclosing it, and in a few days afterwards the plaintiff was surprised at seeing a placard, of which the following is a copy, stuck about the streets. " Fifty Pounds Reward.—Whereas James Jarrett, of the firm of Jarrett and Tadman, of No. 19, Fenchurch.street, and of No. 11, Grenada-place, Old Kent-road, has absconded with warrants on die London Dock Company, for wines to a considerable amount, entrusted to his care. " Whosoever will give information to Mr. Chorley, No. 31, Dowgate hill, so that he may be apprehended, shall, on conviction, receive the above reward. The said James Jarrett is about 40 years of age, fair complexion, light eyes, about five feet seven inches high, and rather inclined to be stout." Particular pains were taken to have this placard posted, not only near the plaintiff's counting-house; but also about the neighbour hood of his private residence; now there was no pretence for saying that the plaintiff had absconded with any wine-warrants, or that he had absconded at all—ao far from that being the case, he was at the time in correspondence with his friends as usual. Defendant, on being applied to on the subject of the placard, refused to give any explanadon ; and the plaintiff then went before the Lord Mayor, in order that if there was any ground for accusing him of felony, the charge might be made, but defendant (who had; received notice of plaintiff's Intention,) never made his appearance ; plain tiff, of course, could not suffer the matter to rest then, and accor dingly brought the present action. What defence was intended to be set up he (Mr. Sergeant Andrews) was at a loss to know, no justification being put upon record. The defendant had merely pleaded the general issue. The necessary proofs would be given to connect the defendant with the circulation of the placards. The Learned Counsel then called, Davis, who stated that he received orders from a person named White, to print 200 copies of the placard, with directions that they should be sent to the defendant's house on Dowgate-hill—they were printed, and sent there accordingly. James Bowtrigbt, clerk to plaintiff, proved having seen the pla card stuck about, and that there had been certain dealings between plaintiff and defendant. He called on defendant to request he would desist from placarding the bills. Defendant said he would continue to publich them, if it cost him 500 L Defendant had been sending to plaintiff for some wine-warrants, and insisted upon it that he would have either the warrants or plaintiff. This was the plaintiff's case. Mr. CuRNEY addressed the jury for the defendant. Lord TENTERDEN said, the publication having been proved, the plaintiff was clearly entitled to a verdict. --4 1 .--.

Ottimanat.L.—Mr. Thomas Hale, a fishmonger in Farringdon Market, attended on summons before Mr. Alderman Ansley, at this office, to answer a complaint of cheating and defrauding two persons by knowingly and designedly mis-stating the weight of some fish which he sold on Thursday last. Mr. Harrison, the clerk of the market, stated that he had re peatedly received complaints against the defendant for giving light weight; but until Thursday he had not been able to meet with persons who were willing to incur the trouble of attending here. Weights and measures are kept in his office under the market clock, in order that persons who suspect that they have been cheated in their purchases may satisfy themselves immediately. Mr. Alderman ANSLE r said he had not heard of this accommo dation to the public before, and it was a pity the plan was not adopted in other markets. He asked if the inquest did not attend to weights and musures in the market ? Mr. Harrison said they did, but the defendant did not use short weights, or a false balance. He played the trick called" cant ing" the scale. Mary Ann Dixon deposed that her father keeps the Coach and Horses, Eyre Street Hill, and on Thursday she purchased the tail end of a salmon from the defendant, who said it weighed 61bs. all but 2oz. but he would charge her for only 51d. She paid him 3a- 10d. or lid per lb. Suspecting the weight, she called at the public office of the clerk of the market, and found the piece weighed only 4lba. 15oz. Lloyd, the beadle, said he weighed the piece of salmon. Some of the entrails and the tail had been taken away, but the ordinary al lowance for these was from two to three ounces. Eliza Yerworth, of Little New-street, said she purchased a small salmon, which the defendant weighed and called exactly 6lbs. She paid him 7d. per lb. She brought it away without having it trimmed or gutted ; and feeling dissatisfied with the weight, she called at the public office, and found that it truly weighed only five pounds five ounces. Defendant said he was not aware that he had served either of these young women ; but if he had, it seemed the purchases had been made treacherously, to injure him. If they had brought the fish back, he would gladly have rectified any mistake ; and as to being in the habit ot canting, if this had been true, he should not have been able to keep together such an extensive connection as be had preserved for years. Mr. Alderman A itsLis said, if a tradesman acted fairly, he could not be betrayed into offending; and, for the protection of the public, as well as the credit of the market, be should call apes the defendant to find sureties to answer an indictment at the Sessions. The defendant obteined leave to depart and bring his sureties on Monday. Mr. Harrison said the defendant was not the only person in the market who was given to canting, and he should exert himself to suppress the practice. Bow-STRZET.—Saturday, a gentleman named Hewett, who re. sides by Tyburn turnpike, was summoned before Mr. HALLS by the driver of the cabriolet No. 100, for the sum of 4d. The complainant, it appeared, drove Mr. Hewett one mile and three quarters, for which he claimed le. 4d. Mr. Hewett tendered him Is. conceiving that the distance was only a mile and a half,— The complainant then grew insolent and abusive, and finding that Mr. Hewett was determined not to pay the additional 4d. he snatched up a brickbat and swore he would split his skull with it. Mr. H. then tendered the complainant his card and walked sway. and as the following day he received the summons which be now appealed to =WM Mr. HALLS observed that Mr. Hewett ought to have paid the complainant his demand, which it appeared he had a right to do. It was always better to pay the drivers of coaches and cabriolets the amount which they demanded, because if they took too much the law would punish them. The complainant in this instance had demanded no more than his due, and Mr. Hewett must, therefore, pay the fourpenee, and the cost of the summons.— With respect, however, to the insolent language of the com. plaint, and his raising a brick-bat against his fare, that was con duct which could not be tolerated, and the complainant must there. fore find bail to answer the assault at the sessions. Mr. Hewett immediately paid the money, and the complainant as locked up in default of bail HATTOW:GAIDEN....ROBSERY AT THE WHITE.HOILIZ, FETTEIII•LAHR-W. Newcombe was brought up before Mr. Laing and Mr. Rogers, for final examination, on a charge of break ing open a desk in the coach.office of the White Horse Tavern, and stealing therefrom the sum of 101. 101. in gold. The clerk, James Maakyle, deposed, that on Saturday, the 7th Instant, at half-past nine o'clock at night, he put ten sovereigns and a half into the desk, locked it, and went home. On the following morning he found that the desk had been broken open and the money taken away. The prisoner, as an assistant to the coachman in the yard, had access to the office. He was suspected of the robbery, and taken into custody. James Walters, a porter at the White Horse, deposed, that at ten o'clock on the night in question, after the Birmingham) coach came in, he and the prisoner were in the office. The prisoner turned off the gas. They went away together. Witness locked the door, and put the key in the front office, where he was positive he left the prisoner. William Pullen, one of the waiters in the coffee-room belonging to the tavern, deposed, that at quarter past ten o'clock at night, the prisoner passed through the house into the yard, which he had never before done at so late an hour. He observed that the office was shut up, and went behind a coach evidently for the purpose of concealing himself. This testimony was corroborated by that of other witnesses. Inspector List. of the E division, deposed that when the prisoner was brought to the watch.bouse. be searched him. and found upon him nine sovereigns and eighteen shillings In silver, besides • du. plicate of a shirt pawned on the Thursday before the sth inst. The prisoner accounted for the mosey by saying, that he had received a sum of 131 about theft weeks ago from the Rev. Mr. Taylor, of York.terrace, on account of William Stacey, driver of the Birmingham coach, but having appropriated part of the to his own use, he was ashamed to give Stacey the remainder i r and, therefore, he kept the 91.185. until he could make up the difference. He admitted, however, that the shirt, the duplicate of which was found in his possession, was his, and that he had pawned it only three days before for 18d. William Stacey, the driver alluded to, deposed that, about a month ago, he gave the prisoner a receipt for 131. with instructions to take it to the Rev. Mr. Taylor, who owed him that sum, and re. ceive it for him. The prisoner did so • but when he retu r ned, he gave witness only 101. alleging that the Rev. Mr. Taylor had not change enough at the time to pay the remaining 31. The therefore, that he told the inspector, was not true, as far as regarded his keeping the entire sum. The Rev. Mr. Taylor attended, and stated that he paid the pri. sonar 131. the full amount of Stacey's account with him. This was the whole of the evidence against the prisms& H. declined saying anything to the charge, and was fully ceeanellteil for trial.

In the course of the afternoon, Mr. G a master-tailor from the Strand. who had been intro. duced to him and Mrs. E. about a month before, called at his house and ordered tea. Being on terms of intimacy with him he men. dotted how Mrs. E. had served him. On which he condoled with him on the subject, but while the tea was preparing he disappeared. •This circumstance he (Mr. E.) thought extraordinary ; but it never entered his imagination that he went after his wife. In about an hour afterwards he received a note, of which the following is a copy, '•which had been brought to his house :- 1 " ith. Elliott, unless you hasten here Mrs. Elliott and her child will be on the road to South-green. Haste, we are staying at the White Horse, Ilford. Your's ' in haste, H. G. " Come instantly, for I cannot prevail on her to come back. " H. G." On reading this he at once desired his servant to put his horse to the chaise, and drove towards the White Horse. On his way, how ' ever, he saw his wife and the tailor walking arm in arm, opposite to the Red Lion, in the most unconcerned manner. He at once jumped out of the chaise, but he had scarcely reached the ground when Mr. G. without uttering a syllable, struck him a most violent blow on the face, which levelled him to the earth. On getting up he served him in a similar manner, and beat him completely sense. lea; and while in a state of perfect exhaustion, his wife and Mr.G. disappeared, and he had heard nothing of either since. The Magistrates inquired if Mr. G. was often in the habit of calling at his house, or if he had perceived attentions towards Mrs. E. which would lead him to suspect that any thing criminal had taken place between them ? Mr. E. replied, that for the last month he had frequently called at his house, but his conduct towards Mrs. E. was nothing more than common politeness and gentlemanly civility would warrant. At the same time, his manner in attacking him in so brutal a way, and, that, too, without the slightest provocation, was to him most The !Magistrates granted the warrant, which was placed in the hands of one of the officers for execution. TILE KING AND TILE QUAKERS.—During a 'visit the King lately made to Windsor, he accidentally passed a member of the Society of Friends, in the Castle-yatd, who, contrary to the religious scruple of that body, uncovered to his Majesty. The King observing it, addresstd him thus :—" Keep on your hat, friend ; your religious usages and mine are different." ANECDOTE OF TIIE KlNG.—Every journal has its anecdote of the King. Our is very short, but pithy. When a mid. shipman, among other places, he visited Atnetica. While rusti cating among the Yankees, he and one of his mates happened to dispute as to which of them had the preferable claim to the honour of a promenade with a certain fair maid. From words the tran sition was easy and natural to blows. A regular set-to ensued. Prince William came off victorious, and had the luxury of walking with his temporary sweetheart ; but the victory and the prim were putchased at the expense of a pair as blue eyes as ever human phy siognomy exhibited.—Elyin Courier. " CHESHIRE CHIEF OF MEW."—Amongst the free holders who were in the interest of Mr. Egerton, on the day of no. mination at Northwich, was a party consisting of twenty, whose average heights were six feet and an inch, and whose weights were eighteen stone each. The new Beer Act, it should be remembered, imposes an unmitigated penalty of 201. upon any person retailing wine and spirits having a licence only under the new law. SALT. — The use of salt in the food of horses is be coming very general in the Netherlands. One of the first agricul turists in the neighbourhood of Brussels says, in a letter to a friend here, " I give salt to all my horses with the best effect : my own cabriolet horse has had from an ounce to an ounce and a half of salt in his corn, every night for the last three years ; and during that time he has had excellent health, and taken no physic." On Monday night a melancholy accident took place near the Half. way House on the Paisley road. A lad named Weir, who had been in the custom of riding out and in on the coaches, in coming suddenly off from one, without having intimated his inten tion to any body, fell before the wheels while the coach was at its usual speed, and was killed on the spot. No blame can be attached to the coachman.—Gfasgote Courier. The weather on the whole continues favourable for maturing the corn crops, and in Yorkshire we are on the eve of a plentiful harvest. Should the weather continue favourable for the next two months, the public distress, which is already much dim,. niched, will, in a great degree, be removed ; and with a sound car rency, and economic government, the situation of the country daring the approaching winter will be very different to that of the winter of 1829.30.—Leeds Mercury. It appears from the researches made by the special commission charged to measure the isthmus of Panama, in order to ascertain the best mode of communication between the two seas, that the opinions are in favour of rendering the liver Chargers na vigable for steam-boats, and continuing t he the with an iron railway. SHOCKING SUlClDE.—Saturday an Inquest was held before Mr. Stirling, Coroner for Middlesex, at the sign of the Cricketers, on Hounslow-heath, touching the death of Edward Luff, aged 76 years. Mr. Frogley, a surgeon, of Hounslow stated that the deceased, who had for some time be e n ' afflicted with symp toms of dropsy, had been under his care, and the last time he saw him alive was on Tuesday last. On Thursday, about twelve o'clock at noon, he was sent for to attend on a person at a cottage, belonging to a Mr. Noyes; and on going there he found the deceased sitting on the ground, with his back against the house ; his head was literally blown to atoms, apparently by a pistol, which must have recoiled from overloading, as it was lying about four yards from him ; no part of his jaw-bones remained, and his brains were strewed in all directions ; indeed, scarcely a bit of his head remained. He was, of course, quite dead. Witness understood he had been a gar dener, but being out of work, he was allowed •2s. per week by the wish of Fulham. Notwithstanding the smallness of his income, he appeared very decently dressed, and bore no signs of want.— .—Wm. Strange, a labourer, who occupied Mr. Noy's cottage, stated that the deceased had repeatedly complained of being starv ing, and wished some person would kill him. On Thursday he calledon witness, and repeated the same complaint; "hada offered him some bread, which wu all he had for himself, but the deceased said he had not been used to dry bread, and would not eat it. He appeared very low and desponding, and at last bid witness " Good bye," and left the house, as witness supposed, to go home; in a short time, however, he heard the report of a pistol at the back of his cottage, and on going there was shocked to find the deceased sitting down, with his head blown to atoms. He then sent for Mr. Frogley. The jury returned a verdict, " That the deceased. de stroyed himself while labouring under temporary mental derange ment." H EBDOIIIA DA RY.
