I LAW REPORT. -+►-- P VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, JAN. sa. WHITTON O. THE GAS LIGHT AND COKE 01MPANT. Mr. HART Applied for leave to renew a motion hick ' he bad made to the Cotirt yesierilaY, and to dh that without amending the bill, and making the Trustees parties, agreeably to his Honour's intimation yesterday. The plaintiff would have had no difficulty in :intending the Fill. and making the Trustees parties as suggested, had it been practicable; but the fact wa', there were no such Trustees in the Parish of Camberwell, aa was stated there were, in the sense in which the Court was in the habit of construing the word. An Aet of Parliament was passed in the year 1776, afterwards amended in 1783, appointing 70 persons to be Trustees for the pur pose of r.iisinvertain sums of money, and doing cer tain different acts. Those Trustees were to act as long only as they continued to reside in the palish, and therefore it was quite impracticable for any plaintiff to make such a number of persons defendants under such cir cu m .tan ass. _ H s HoNoun said, if Mr. Whitton was not informed in the co:me of the day who the individuals were that vier: parties to the contract, so as to enable him to amend his bill by Tuesday, making them parties to the suit, the Coun would hear the application again on that day, and pronounce judgment without regard to any circumstance but what then appeared before it. Mr. HART was quite satisfied with this state of things. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JANUARY SO. THE XING V. DOWNES. This was an inforniation in the nature of a ?so twin.- ranto, calling upon the defendant to shew by what au horitrhe exercised the office of a free burgess of the borough of Colchester ; the defendant had pleaded that he had served the office of Common Councilman of the borough, and that, by virtue of his so serving that office, he became, and was a free burgess of the bo rough. To this plea there was a demurrer by the Crown, that the plea did not sufficiently set -forth the manne' in which the defendant had been elected a free burgess. Upon reference to the charter, it appeared that certain persons, to the number of 47, were al pointril by the statute to certain offices. and also to be free burgesses of the borough, and it was admitted that 17 out of this number stood in the same situation as the defendant. The Court was clearly of opinion that the defendant's appointment was good, and judgment must be given against the demurrer.—Judgment for defendant. COURT OF COIIMON PLEAS, JAL 28. PRISON RS IN THE' ELSE!. The Loan Cuter &mica said, that it bad been intimated to the court that many prisoners, whose term of impris .nment had long ago expired, were in the habit of remaining in the prison after that period, and thereby made the prison a lodging-house rather than a place for the confinement of debtors. This practice was attended with great inconvenience to the Warden, and the prisoners in confinement ; the Court, therefore, deemed it proper to make a sole on the subject, similar to that made by the COurt of King's Bench some time ago. The rule was, that all prisoners should be dis. cha'ged in six months after'they are superseded, and that no prisoners should be allowed by seniority to take possessi n of the best rooms in the prison. THE KIN v. LE Eon& ESQ. AND . oEMEEs. Mr. CamrseLL moved for a criminal information against these defendants, the former the Mayor of Southampton, and the others the Commissioners for improiing the port of that place, for illegally exacting certain rates and duties on goods imported andexported into and out of th4t place. The statute which imposed a duty on goods in Southampton was expressly con fined to goods warehoused there; but the defendants levied the duty on all goods, whether warehoused or not: This they did wilfully, and in contempt of the d 4 cision of this Court,whicb bad, in two actions brought by a Mr. Ward to try this very qtrestion, decided that the duty applied to warehoused goodi only ; and for that contempt be submitted they were liable to a criminal information. _ The Lord Chi. f Justice ABBOTT—We are all of opi nion that.they are not; there is no criminal motive im puted to those Gentlemen, and their real Motives may be perfectly good. You in iy bring another action, but we cannot possibly interfere in ►he mode you now pry for. We cannot y the construction of an Act of Par liament hi a criminal information.—Rule refused. There was no other case of any public interest; the Court rose at half-past one. In the course of the morn ing, the Lord Chief Justice announced, that he h 'ped to take. possession of the Court of King's Bench or. Tuesday next—a piste of intelligence which was re 7 coved with much general satisfaction. TIIE LATE ACCIDENT-IbIfRATS-INN-LANE. . . Aft Inquest was held ooSaturcliY,lafthe wen:thous, of St. Andrew's parish, Haltom, beforeMr:Briattara; the Coroner, nn the bodies of Thomas Clancy the elder, and Thomas Clancy the younger, father and snn, and, Michael Toomey, who were unfortunately killedhy the; falling of several houses in Gray's-inn-14e and' Bpsead Eagle court. W. Foster said he resided in High-street, Blooms bury, and was a carpenter. Thursday moreinghs..wint to Spread E .gle-court, to assist in pulling dOWn some houses which were situated in thelttnut.; The three deceased persons were labourers, and 'Wee also em ployed there. In the afternoon of that day lie was standing bn the second fluor of• the house'at the corner of Gray's Inn-lane and the court, when he observed to his master that one - Sf the molts was out, which was placed there to sumo tlio',4intriting joists. The. stroll; which was a sort of pillar; had stood on a stone plated in the old wall and supported the floor above, - but it had slipped off the stone. • A man named Webb recom , mended that it should be shored, and lie and witness were then going down stairs to procure the necessary materials, when the floor gave way. The witness, who was on the stairs, found them giving way under him, and he clwng to a wall for safety. Webb was on an insecure part of the floor, which had • also given way, and he tell down among the ruins; but Mr. Evans, their master, got on a more secure part of the floor. A cry was then raised that a man was below, and witness and Mr. Evans went belle , to render assistance to Webb. They found has buried in the ruins, except his head, which alone could be seen. A number of labourers instantly came to the spot. The witness accordingly went up to the top of the second house, and he had been there but a very shot: time, when, he felt the floor sinking, and himself with it. On going down he was almost insensible, but - when he had reached the bottom be recovered himself, and found he was lying 0.4 a beam surrounded with rubbish. - A roan who was near him groaned very heavily, raised his head and fell down. The witness then sciambled over the fallen ma terials, and met his master. He was much hurt, and was nearly choaked. The houses were to have been entirely pulled down and rebuilt; and in pulling down the wall, the bricks and rubbish fell upon the second floors, but that did not occasion the fall of the houses, as the witness said there were not more than two thou sand bricks at any one time upon the floor. The wit ness said his side and foot were much hurt, and when he coughed, his breast seemed Kobe bursting open. The Jury considered that it was a very careless way of pulling doWn the house, as, instead of placing the , bricks on the old floors, they should have thrown them into the street. Immediately they found the strutt had got away, they should have placed something there to; make the flooring secure. James Carroll, the next witness, was is a most dread ful situation. There were several wounds on his face, and the poor fellow could scarcely stand or speak. He said he was employed at one of the houses as a labourer; hearing the crash occasioned by the fall of the first house, he and others ran down to render assistance, but were sent back. On his return he stopped at the top of the adjoining house, when young Clancy (the eleceased)' came op to him, and inquired if he had found some marbles" witness told him where to find them, and the , words were scarcely out of his month, when the floor' gave way under them, and they fell down to the ground floor with the rubbish and materials. When he was on the top floor, he sale old Clancy tear the wall, with a pick-axe in his hand. On the setae(' floor there was a great quantity of.tubbish, exceeding a cart load, and on the day previous .there was more rubbish, and a large' , quantity of timber; which was more than sufficient to have drawn down a much stronger house. He moved some of the wood, being fearful of an accident, but the' other Men told him he made himself more busy than necessary, and he therefore went about other business. He believed the wood bad been placed there because ' some had been stolen. Mr. Evans had undertaken to pay the doctor's expenses. Thomas Cook, of Brook-street, HolbOrn, said; that hearing the house had fallen down, he proceeded to the spot, and offered every assistance in his power ; and bring one of the Ltet Jury who had condemned the houses down the coda, he was competent to give di rections what course to pursue.. But Mr. Evans said that nothing should be done but what be dictated, or what a builder or surveyor directed. William Evans was then called, and he said, that the fact c f his being on the premises with his unit vas a convincing proof that he did not apprehend danger.— He was on th; spot until nine o'clock at night, and then his men refesed to work any longer ; in fact, they were so intoxicated, that from the dangerous state of the p!ace, it was unsafe toallow them to work : he applied .for other, but could not get them. When Mr. Cooke applied to him, he was not aware who he was; and when the application was made about the window, his men at that time had discovered one of the bodies, and iif the window had been removed, in all probability the wall would have fallen upon them. The Jury, after hearing the preceding witness, tnok . a view of the bodies; and after a short consultation, re turned the following verdict The death of the de ceased persons was occasioned by the falling down of put of t wohouses in Spread Eagle-court ; and that their calling down was occasiontsi,b y negligently overloading the oprt floor of one of the houses With timber, bricks, and rubbish. And the Jury regret that the pirsons employed in taking down those houses did. not int& Aiently persevere in rescutieg the bodies of twb et the ,sufferers, it appe :ring in evidence to bails been 'pro 'bable, that one, at least of•them, would have revived, if ihe. had been sooner telea:ed." , A Leet Jury aumobled.on Saturday afternoon, and condemned littera' of the Muses in the Court.

In this case an information had been filed against the defendant, Mr..Deare, calling upon him to produce the Isciok. upon which certain accounts were fouaded, which had passed the office of the Secretary at War, some 24, years ago. In the year 1823, the War Office sent a notice to the defendant, that his accounts (tithe Lanark arid Dumbarton Cavalry, and other regiments, while he was an Army Agent, had not proved satisfactory, and required him to furnish a fresh statement. 'this the defendant complied with ; and, upon re-examini tion of his books, found- out that there wasa balance of 500& due to the Crown, which be paid. The officer, however, not satisfied with this, then demanded the ledgers, and out of the refusal to grant them arose the present proceedings.' The case was new brought before the Court upon the conriderationsof a Bill of t xceptions; and Mr. John Williams argued at great length, and with considerable .power, upon the.extreme.hardship of compelling the production of items of account after such a hipse of time, when all recollection must he al most extinguished, and when it innst int al possl..e to produce the vouchers which the War Office never failed to require on such occasions.

Several h.:uses were overthrown by the pressure of the air, and others crushed -.under the weight fan enormous quantity of snow, trees, and rocks. Part of the inhabitants had time to fly On hearing the.first noise made by the breaking away of the avalanche. When the noise of the tempest had ceased, the fugitives began to look upon thesitoati n :n which they found then ; selves placed, to see if there was any comfort left for them, and - their first regard% sce.e, turned to their.habi. Unions; but the village Arf Porta offered no longer airy. thing but a spectacle of horror •and desolation. The inhabitants who had not had time to escapefrcirry,tig danger remained buried in the tuinkof she houses, and Ithe first care was taken to relea,e them. One young man perished in the ruins: • "His mother, covered with I bruises, 'had the misery to see her two other ions wounded, and one with a broken* thigh. Many cattle and sheep have perished. We expect soon to discover other misfortunes. Terror was at its height. Ti;e the.t; e of this fatal event is a poor isolated spot, lost in the I farthest mountains of the Eastern Pyrenees, and is now a land of mourning, of tears, and of despair." Great inundations have happened, in the unfortunate and now truly miserable Venetian States, and the Pa.. duan, Vicentian, Trevigian, Bassarian, &c. &c. in con. sequence of the breaking of the different dikes of the rivers and the torrents of the mountains, as well as the great overflow from two months of continued rains; nothing is seen but immense masses of marble p4laces, tops of houses of different villages, sheep, oxen, horses, and a quantity of dead human bodies floating on the once Airy land: Tlx River Piave burst from its ancient banks in twenty-three places, as far as the mountains of Narvesa, and destroyed the country round, for . nearly 20,000 acres, a distance of more than four miles. The Lakes of Venice have received the great flood of the rivers in such qnantities, that all that part of the Adriatic has become like frish water, and has no longer the smallest taste of the briny ocean. At Venice it has ruined all the wells, and the property of more than 2,000 individuals has suffered. Accounts from the Grisons say, that on the Bth of December several - carriers were surprised by an ava lanche on Mount Al ulia, but extricated themselves. On the 22d, a great mass of snow fell from the same .Mountain, and buried under it the post from Engadin, with 17 persons, and 15 loaded 'sledges. Some of them were able to make their way out, and extricated the others. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE?. A young fellow was brought before the Lou, Maros, on Friday, charged with having stolen watches to the value of upwards of dna from the shop of Mr. Grant, a watchmaker, at No. 75, Fleet-greet. Mr. Grant's thopman stated, that on the lath of October last, the prisoner came to the shop, at about nine n'elock in the morning, in company with another young man, and desired to see some watches. They did not pretend to make any purchase at that time, but next morning they came again at .the same hour, and the pri: soner's companion selected a particular watch which he had before noticed. He paid baff-a-crown deposit upon it, in order that It might be laid aside for him. They were then leaving the shop, but they suddenly turned round, and the prisinter asked to look at some steel watch chains? to which ht directed the witness's mei). clan. These watch chains were bung in a censer of the shop. He was some moments in selecting the particular chain. On turning round, the witness perceived that the other prisoner's companion had disappeared. The prisoner immediately [Wowed him. The witness did not at the *sum miss anything, but there had been lying on the counter a cue about a foot and a half square, cootain. int watches which had been taken out of the iron chest. in a minute after the disappearance of the two young men, be iterelived was stolen. An immediate alarm was given, and a pursuit com menced, but the thieve. pt clear o ff with their : booty. Two witnesses, the one a boy in Mr. Grant's service, the other an errand boy in the service of a next door neighbour, identified the prisoner, who was fully committed for trial. Mr. Grant has not recovered any of the property. Some time after the robbery, be received information in a certain way, that be might have his watches back again at a bargain. Mr. Giant at once rejected the offers made to him, and preferred the alternative of making every sacrifice to that of r esigning the chance of bringing the thieves to justice. BOW-STREET. Hoary Cietedesiey, an athletic looking personage, apparently about thirty, was brought up on a warrant obtained against him by Anne, his lawful spouse, for beating, kicking, and otheraiSe makreating her, the said Anne, from whose statement, often interrupted by sobs, it appeared that she had been married to the dehndant up. wards of three years, and that during the major part of that time her Henry bad behaved excessively ill towards ber—ao much so, indeed, that from continued ill-treatment she had long been under the care of a Dr. Jones, who considers her constitution to be very greatly impaired. On a sort of crosamtanduatiou, she admitted that she had married under peculiar circumstances, but that her former mode of life was no secret to Mr. Cloadesley, who promised, on her consenting to become his wife, that he would never " rake up" what was past. —Defendant was bound over in 401. to keep the peace for a twelvemonth.
