LAW REPORT. VICE-CY4NCELLOWS COURT, Jury 4. . . UVARAI V CIRSOLD. AND DOLMIIIO,44IIIGINEEt Of ;MATH. • The S4lcyroa-GESCRA 1., on the part of the plaint ff, moved fOi• an injtinction to restrain the defendants from disposing by sale of certain engravings. The following appeared to be the circumstances on which the motion *a • founded : The plaintiff, Mr. Murray (the bookseller), bad engaged. Heath, the artist, to engrave certain pic to, ial illustrations of Crabbe's P 041115, from original designs, executed by Westall. These engraved illus trations were bound up and published under the same cover with the poems. Murray had paid to Heath, for the engravings, a sum not less than 2,000 k in the course of two years. Heath's assignees lately notified their intention to dispose by public sale of a certain num ber of copies of them, not connected with the pub lished poem. but as independent and separate pictures per se. The Solicitor General applied to the Court to prevent - • this intended sale, en the ground that his client, Murray, having paid Heath for the engraving, ought to be considered the legal proprietor of all copies struck off from the plate, and that the sale of the copies in ques tion would be injurious to the sale of the poetical work. The Learned Counsel anticipated an argument of the opposite tide, namely, that by the custom of the trade, engravers were justified in striking off, for their Own / • use, a certain number of copies of every plate which they may have engraved ; but he contended, on the - authority of several cases, that such a custom was vague and indefinite, and founded .on neither law nor equity, and could not be set up against the prayer of his motion. The Vies Caaneetaos asked what was the custom of the trade on which the Aefendanu intended to justify their proposed sale of the copies ? Mr. Ileac% for the defence, said, that by the custom tithe trade, engravers were justified in merving to themselves front de to twelve copies of rack 'waving. The VICE CRANCiLLOIL, having remarked that the uncertainty of the number of copies reserved was a clear proof of the illegality of the custom, declared his con• sent to grant the injunction; on condition that the parties would carry the question of the validity of the custom to, be tried, before a Jury. • After souse indifferent conversation between kis Honour and the Comm! concerned, it was agreed that the question should be tried *the Common Pleas during the Sittings after the next Michaelmas Torm.—Motion granted. COURT OF KING'S =NCH. Jury 4. SANDRISON V. MOTOR. The isisintiff, a wine merchant, brought this action to recover ossi. to. she amount of three Bills of Enchastvr. Mr.Csmar objected to two of the bills, amonadng to 4271. on the ground that they were drawn on five shilling instead of ale shilling stamps. The Loan Cater Jorarsca held that Mr. clskty's objection was fatal, and that the plaintiff could net support the action on two of 'the bills. The defence to she remaining bill failed, and the Jury found a verdict for the plalntiff—Damages, Tist. Neactu.s V. LUCAS ANS OTHERS. This !Spas an action of trespass brought by the Owners of the ship called the Emerald. against the late Shefiffs of London, Messrs. Lucas and Thompson, and a Mr. Eickey, an Attorney. for entering the Plaintiff's ship, breaking open the hatches, and taking away thecargo. .D.eiendants pleaded a justification, namely, that they were justified in taking the goods under a writ of jai facies against a person named Thornton, the cone , signer of the . goody; The question was, whether the goods were taken really and bona fide under the effect of an execution sued out by a judgment creditor, or whether this execution was to enable Messrs. Hopkey and Lingham, consigners of the cargo, to obtain the goods without payment of freight? It appeared that a Mr. Thornton, who was debtor to Hopkey and Ling hamo silted to New South• Wales, and sent home a • cargo of dii aod whalebone, consigned to Hopkey and Lingham. The bill of lading was signed by the Captain of the ship, who agreed that the goods should be deli eeted to Hopkey and Lingham on payment of freight, according to the terms of the charter party. When the ship arrived in London, it appeared the freight amount. ed to more than the value of the goods, and in case Hopkey and Lingbam had received the cargo as con lignells, they wor ld have been liable to pay the-freight within ten days after the delivery. They therefore, in order to avoid payment of freight, entered up judgment upon a warrant of attorney, and seized the goods. The Sheriff did not sell the property in the usual way. Mr. SCARLET?, who supported the plaintiff's case, contended that the:proceedings, brit bit of,fi.fa. were contrary to the usual proceedings of merchant; and re sorted to for the purpose of depriving the plaintiff of ireight, for which he had a lien oa the goods. The Arroatrav Gaitaaat., for the Sheriffs of London, contended that no trespass had been committed. By the terrus of the charter-party between the Captain and Thornton, the freight was not to be paid until ten days after the delivery of the goods to the consignees, and therefore he had no lien on the cargo. The Loan CH ar JUSTICE, in his address to the Jury, said, if the Jury th.)ught this execution . was a mere endeavour to do that which they could not have done as consignees of the cargo—namely, to evade the pay ment of freight, they ought to find for the plaintiff; if, on the other hand; the Jury should think Hopkey and Lingham bad proceeded fairly as judgment creditors the Sheriffs would be justified, and the verdict omit be for the defendants. Before the Jury gave their verdict, the Attorney. General stated that the Learned Judge ip his charge had omitted to direct the attention of the Jury to the circumstance of the supposed lies for freight, and to . tell them the plaintiff had no such lien. The Loam Caw Jusuce said there was a remedy if be bad =tsoy point essential to the merits of the cause.—The Jar, ad a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, £1,95E. The Arroasar-Oessaat. and Mr. Por.tocs, after a verdict had been taken,lendered a bill of exceptions on several points, which will, of course, become the subject of future!. gal discussion. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Guinean. 11101UKTPENNT V. HARTLAND AND OTHERS. This was an action for work and labour done. It appeared that Vie- plaintiff was an engineer and archi tect and WAS employed by the defendant to build a bridge over the_Severn, for which purpose they had obtained an Mt of Parliament. The plaintiff gave in a plan and estimate, and,ftegan the works, but was soon dismissed. Various witnesses were called, who spoke to the plaintiff's skill and ingenuity, but admitted that the outlay had greatly exceeded the estimate, from the plaintiff not having contemplated the necessity of piles, v,ithout which it was found the work could not be car ried on. It was also proved by the defendant's wit nesses, that he had miscalculated the expense of a road to lead to the bridge, and put the Company to greater expellee than they had anticipated. tt,e architect who succeLded the plaintiff made tee of the works he had etected• It further appeared that the plaintiff **s a iharabolder in the Company to the amount of SOW. The Loa, Cant Judea left it to the Jury to my. whether, under the armada:2w, the defrauds were wursated in 4* missing and refusing to pay the plaintiff for his labour. The Jury withdrew for nearly an hour, and then returned with a verdict for the plainOff—Dansages, 75W., holding him liable to pay SOOT. from it for his shares. • . • SHERIFFS' COURT, Jen , I. • HIRST AND FIDDLY v. ST. ICATHARINH DOCK COMPANY. Mr. Sergeant VAUGHAN opened the case upon the part of the claimants, from which it appeared that they were possessed of considerable leasehold prope-ty, held I under the Chapter of St. Katharine's, the fee-simple of which had already been purchased by the St. Katharine Dock Company, and which property was required for the purposes of the Act. The amount 6f the demand for the leasehold interest was 22,6941. which included a-claim of about 4,0001. for the supposed value of an alleged prescriptive right of renewal at the expiration of every twelve years. With respect to the value of the n..ked leasehold interest, the difference between the claim and the estimate by the Dock Company was ni.t very great, the demand being 19,6381. while the esti mated value by the Dock Company was 17,4801. The Dock Company had, three months ago, proposed to the claimants to refer their claim to arbitration, which had been drelined; and the Jury were then called upon to 'assess the amount of compensation of right due to Messrs. Hirst and. Company -under the provisions of the Act. The point at issue, it appeared, was one of magnitude he the Dock_Company, as it involved a question as to Whether the lattit could legally be called upon to pay; laa addition to the value saf- the leasehold interest, any Calms of money in the, shape of compensation for an alleged prescriptive right of renewal ; the Dock Com pany contending, that inasmuch as the leases contained no covenant to renew, the measure of value was to be determined by the legal expiration of the terms in each of the leases respectively. The estimate -of the value of the leasehold interest proceeded upon the S per cent. table, the principle of which, considering that the sale was a compulsory one, was assented to by the Dock Company; but some items, amongit which 1,2831. for a reversionary interest, and 6294 for the premium which it was alleged the lease of the Punch Bowl public-house, part of the property in question, was worth, was.ob jected to by Mr. ADAii, the leading Counsel for the Dock Company,- who denied the right of the-claimants to any compensation on account of - the supposed right of renewal, and rested his case upon the evidence of the claimants. • The Ustoas Sawn , summed up. the ease to the Jury, and ex pressed& decided opinion that the claimants had no legal right what ever to computation ea account of the alleged custom of oonewal. The Jury withdrew, and, after a shoti consultation, gave a verdict fOr 17,8004 deducting therefore from• the claims the 4,0001. the amount of the demand made for renewal, expenses, dte. 1,2851 for reversionary in terest, and 6291. for the premiums upon the lease of the public house, being in the-whole SAM. less than the• sum claimed, and negativing the right of renewal., Five other cases stood for trial, the adjustment of four of which had been resisted by. the Dock Company. upon the same grounds, with. tespect to the right of, renewal ; and-the questioo having been determined by : the decision of the Jarilatilw previous case, the partiesi agreed wake verdicts foe, the amount, if the .Deckl iCompanY's estimates, madi 'in- each of the cases,.haa been made upon the five. per cent, tables. in the other 'Case a demand was made by the ..proprietor of &Public house in Little Thames-street, St. Katharine's, forlease hold interest and good will, 'amounting to 2,52131.' . 1'he claimant, after examining two witnesses, accepted an 'offer of the Dock Company. of 1,35(11. • The Genoa Gazette ,states at seven men eut, of thirteen, composing the ere* or the Brigantine Notre Dame de Loretto, have died of the plague at. the Lae xaretto of Varignano.

Witness and his companions used every exertion in their power save him, but without success. A waterman, who heard the alarm, informed him that he could have saved tins deceased, but that he conceived it was only a hoax, as such tricks are frequently played them. The body was dragged for, but was not picked up till five hours after wards.—James Comper corroborated the above state. front. Verdict- 44 Accidental death." . A robbery by artifice, but not exactly new, took place on Sunday, at the house of a Gentleman of the name of Lawler, Nottingham terrace, Mary-la.bonne. A well dressed man, on horseback, inquired for Mrs. Lawler and her niece, who were from home. The impostor stated that he had left Mrs. Lawler at Brighton, and that he had obtained 701. for a cheque which he was to leave at the house inclosed for Mrs. Lawler to send to him. • He called for pen, ink, and paper, pulling a note, or something like one, out of his pocket, and the. servant sheaved him into 11 parlour, and after remaining: there about ten minutes, he rang the bell and left the house.

Monday evening, about half-past eight o'clock, the neighbourhood of Blackman-street, Sruthwark, was the scene of considerable alarm, in consequence of the fall ing of two houses ip the occupation of respectable tradesmen. It appeared that the house of Mr. Phillips, a grOcer, No. 101, in the above street, received serious injury about a fortnight back, by the breaking out of a fire in the bottom part of the premises, that destroyed 'a quantity, of wood work. The damage, however, was not considered so serious as to cause any apprehensions for the safety of the house ; and workmen had been' actually engaged for some days past in repairing and strengthening the parts that had sustained most injury from the fire: On the evening in question, however, while Mr. Phillips's family were sitting in their parlour, at the extremity of the shop, they were alarmed by the sadden smash of several panes of glass in the window. This was the first intimation they had of danger. Mr. Phillips, suspecting that the foundation of the house was about giving way, immediately collected the whole f his family, shopmen, and servants, and made them instantly quit the premises. They had scarcely time to do so, and take refuge in a house opposite, when Mr. Phillips's house, together with the one next door, occu p.e..l by Mr. Bacon, a retail grocer, fell in with a tre mendous crash. Both the roofs giving way at the same m' , ment, carried the whole of tho materials, furniture, and all from the upper stories down into the shops.— Most providentially Mr. Bacon's family had also a pre sentiment of • what was•going to happen, and bad only withdrawn themselves about two minutes from their residence before it was a heap of ruins. A great part of the fronts of the two houses fell into the street, but most miraculously no person was injured, although, it is'one of the most populous as well as one of thegreat est thoroughfares in Southwark. There were several hair-breadth escapes of individuals passing along when the crash took.place. The houses on each side those that ha•e fallen, occupied by Mr. Harding, the gun-maker, and Mr. M‘Master, the saddler, are consi dered in luch danger that .the families have quitted them in the event of accident. PAPAL AUTHORITY IN MEXICO. • The t re por t i of two united Committee; (las Commis sicoes be given to the Mexican Envoy at Rome, was read in a secret sitting of the. Senate on the 2,1 of March, and ordered to be printed. This important document, which was drawn np by an eminent ecclesiastic, Padre Mier, commences by adverting to some proceedings on the same subject in the Chamber of Deputies with which the Committees of the Senate do net concur, be cause that assembly, though holding the same opinion as the Committees, appeared "to consider it necessary to compromise with the pretensions of the Court of Rome." At the same time, the Report expresses a hope that the present Pope will yield to the wishes of the Mexican Church, in spite of the Court, " which has always been inclined to subject the Popes to its ca prices." To the opposition made by the Curia, or Court of Rome, to every kind of reform, the Report atti ibutes all the evils which have befallen the Church. Even the persecution of the Cdttiolic religion during the French Revolution is stated to have been occasioned by " the obstinate resistance made to the reforms decreed by the Constituent Assembly." Patronage is declared to be long to the nation, and the assumption of it to be an infringement of the rights of the people. Among those rights, that most essential to the government of the' Churches is stated to be the election of their own. Pastors. and the confirmation of those Pastors by their respec tive metropolitans, without waiting . for the Papal con firmation. The Report also enters into the question of the supremacy claimed by the Bishop of Rome over other Bishops, :hews from Scripture and history that the Apostles were all placed by their DIVINZ MASTYR on so equal footing, and that therefore the Pope can claim no superiority as the successor of St. Peter. All that the Committees seem. willing to concede to his Holiness is, the dignity, almost merely nominal, of Bills to a large amount, drawn from South America on the various Mining Associations in this country, have lately been returned without acceptance. Besides the actual loss on the amount of such bills, 4 charge of 25 per cent. is incurred on all bills returned to Sloth America, which the parties there must likewise pay. It appears by the accounts from Alexandria, that Egypt is precisely in that state which might be expected from the unenlightened. policy of the PACHA. The products of the country, exported last year, fall short of those in the preceding year by about one half. To this the scanty over flow of the Nile has in Nut contributed ; and it is believed, in consequence of this, that the cotton 'crop will also fall short one half of that of the preceding year. All these causes are likely to produce a con siderable defalcatinn in the revenues of the PActiA, and . it is believed that his views respecting the Morea have undergone, from all these circum:tabees. a •e, y con siderable change. The assistance which he will lend in tuture will probably be confined to A hew detachments of irregular Turkish militia. POLICE- INTELLIGEN C :7- ' . 4 4- 4 10.- MANSION-HOGSZ.
