The boy being much (tightened, cried out loudly, and the pailingers interfered, to inquire into the cattle of the violence. It then appeared that the youth had abfconded from fchool. and his pa. rents, people of affluence in the neighbourhood of Paddington, who had been three months incoofolable for his lots. Having traced him to the shock of a wretched gang of mendicants at the back of St. Giles's, they learned that he was out begging about Holborn ; in confequence of which feveral perfons retie placed to watch for him in the vicinity. cim,brean, AuGun It. , alto, NILLy.n. The plaintiff in this cafe Rated in bis declaration that he bad a tight to the whole of the %Cater{ of the • river Wandle, except what was drawn through It particular pipe of four inches dimenliont, but that the defendant, in injury (Ibis Mills, had drawn away larger quantities, and thereby impeded the working of his mills. Mr. GA meow, for the plaintiff, flitted that his client. Mr. Perry, was the proprietor of corn mills, which he had ereaed at Merton, in this county, and the only quellioo in this caufe was, whether to nr t a,oool. which he bed expended, timid be literally all wall ' ed. and rendered of no ere*. by the obflinacy of the defendant. who thought proper to divert the water, not for any ukful modes to himfelf, but inert!? to snake wanton wage of it. It Vas not new in the WC tory of human nature that fuch schirraaers Should cliff. There was an ancient tale of the animal which Would not enjoy . the hay itfelf, nor let any other animal enjoy it. Such was the defendant. The merits of the cafe he could flak in very few words : Mr. Perry, and there from whom he had purchafed his elate. bad. as be Mould fbew. the right to the whole of the waters of the river Wandle. Bet the defendant, who was Mr. Perry's tenant, held a cer lain mud, called Brewer's Mead, and, by a leafe of May t 795, he had the right of draining off water by a pipe of a certain bore, and to that amount he was limited. Now indeed be contended that he had a right to as much water as he pleaded ; and, in fuel. he waneenly walled it at a mull onreafonable rate. Mr. Garrow then contended, that it was improbable, if he bad an abfolute right to the whok water, that he &old leave taken a leafe which only allowed him one pipe, and that was din further limited by the covenant, unlefs the water was fufficiently high to run over the tumbling bay. He underflood that the defendant meant to contend that he had a right, be caufe fnme old trunks were found, which he eon& dered as evidence of an ancient right to take water to an unlimited extent. But there was a ha, which, when he had mentioned, the Jury would fee at once accounted for this circunsflance. Formerly both Mills and Brewer's Mead belonged to the fame perfon, and therefore he could lay down clink trunks without trefpang on any property hut his own; and this was really the fee : a Mr. Walker, who was pro- • prictor of both eflates, did himfelf lay down thefe trunks, and occafionally drew off water from his own mill Rream ; but as he was the miller, he had only to complain *gait& himfelf. He fliould (hew theft fads in evidence, which would entitle his client to a verdia. The Csunfel for the plaintiff had proceeded tome way in their evidence, when a conference was pro- I pofed, and, after Tome difficulty, all matters in dif pate wue agreed to be referred to Serjeant PALMIER. —...... owing are the ne IT. iz.—Honcurabl r ill Mr. MACCVAT, bli Mr. Mus Doc • The two Boards of Cal . ti th divided, each conspo of the above aew Co former, the other five to th is no truth io Sir RICHAID M from his place at the Cotiou been difplaced, which proba aeons Itatemeac. ItOSSIL 1n X This cafe, which was tried before a Special Jury, excited great intereft in the town of Guildford. It was an flue to try whether the Plaintiff, Mr. Reel. was duly elated to the office of Churchwarden of the parifh of the Holy, Trinity, within this town ? Mr. Serjeant SKIPNIRD, who concluded the wife ,for the Plaintiff, having Rated the quellion to be fubmitted to the Jury, obrerved, that the Defendant, Mr. Martyr, was the rival candidate for the office of Churchwarden. When he coofidered who Mr. Mar. tyr was—that he *as a gentleman of fortune and re fpedabilit y—that be had been Mayor of the town,and enjoyed many others of their civic hoaours, and that he had alto been, for eleven years left pall, the Churchwarden of the parifh, and held the place not in litigation ; he could not help thinking that there moll be tome valuable porpore to be anfwered. Per haps Mr. Martyr was unwillinggiat any one Ihould rival him in conferring thole be a upon his town men which 'Ketone had been tiled to confer on than: Whatever the motives might be, certain it was that this office of Churchwardeigorhich gentlemen in ge ncral were molt glad to decline from accepting, in this' town of Guildford had tome fecret charms, which made it eagerly courted. But although Mr. Mal tyr, the Defendant, had kept the office for eleven years, it. was, neverthekfo, an annual office, and the pariffii otters met every Eatier Monday to renew their elec tion. Its purfuance of this culions they met la( Ea fler Monday, and the candidates were Mr. Ruffel, the Plaintiff, and Mr. Martyr, the Defendant. It was then agreed by the Veßry *ambled, that the poll t fikuld be kept open until four o'clock on the Tuef day. and fo it was ; for jolt at four o'clock, while the church clock was actually ftrip.kig, a perfon was fubrceihing his name in the poll books as a voter for Mr. Martyr. But Mr. Martyr's friends finding he was the* behind in numbers, infifled that the poll/ fhould not then chic, and they argued for this abfurd propufition. that it mull be kept open as long as any one voter remained unpolled, or the candidates did not mutually aigrette. clots it. So that it was in the power of any one oltainate voter to keep the elation undecided to fueruity, by faying—" Here I am ; I am a voter, and intend tome time to vote when it (hall fuit my pleafure ; but in the meantime you fhall keep the poll open until it does fuit my pleafure."— In fad, on the day of eledioo, there remained but two voters unpolled, and one of them was an old woman, who did not know for whom be was brought to the church. For being put upon the table—" Good Lord, What am I to do here ?"—" Goody," fa they, " don't you remember your old friend Mr. Martyr : you mug vote for hint." " Remember hint, (raid the uld woman) Aye, Goo bleft him, I remem• bet him in the Borough ever Gore he was as high as my knee. To be lure I'll vote for him." And thus his Learned Friend mull contend, that they were bound to wait for all the old women in the with who were in the intereft of Mr. Martyr. It being how ever found, that this would not do, Mr. Martyr's friends had recourfe to another expedient : though the church clock had (buck four, they laid the town clock wanted a quarter. This might be to ; and a clock fometimes was regulated for a particulAr pole, inflead of the clock itlelf regula:ing that pur pore, and having ailed by the parifh clock, the Teary was perfeftly justified in attending to that, rather than the other. Another objcdion was then Ratted; that the town bad no notice of the vary, and did not know that any bills were placarded about the Itrects, but he believed it was as notorious to rll the inhabi. tante that the vellry was met, as that they were now . trying.Tvaufe... In Sort, e ort, Mr. martyr w :Wren votes b , and the lowa might pro4e their bad taac and want of j!lfftnierit in refufin to condone .Mr. Martyr their ChutehwArifin yet they had to done, and their choice was law oa lubjeß. Mr. Stun, the Town Clerk, pTodnced the poll books, hy which it appeared, that it the fan tletli , n for Churchwarden, rhe numbers were In favour of Mr. Rntlel by a majority of .7. On the opening of the poll on Eafter Monday, it was agreed by the Vett it, that they &mild confider at the cad of that day how fang it &could be continued open. And accordingly, at the end of the day, they ref , Ived that it lb uld continue open until fair o'clock the next Jay. On croft examination as to the mode in which this refer. lotion was taken, it appeared that the renfe of the %reify was not taken by any regular quellion being put to them, but that it appeared by the [cafe of the majority that it &mad be fo. This nal confirmed by other witneffes; and one 'enrich, of the name of Jones.

The violence of the inflammation of the eyes, to which the natives of Egypt are tub ed,j is well known ; and 'the melancholy proofs we lave had of its tendency to deflroy vifion, as rya. dented by the great number of foldiers who return ed to England from that country in the year 18.42. in a (late of total blindnefs, mull unavoidably give pain to every one who ideas upon them. The general opinion has hitherto been, that the Oph thalmia, (by which name this diforder has been often, though improperly, dillinguithed,) was eon fined to Egypt ; and was dependent on fuch local circurnflances as rendered other countries keine from its influence. It cannot, however, be denied that an inflammation, precifely fimilar, both in its fymptoms and progrefs, to the Egyptian Ophtbah mia, has not unfrequently appeared in this and in • other countries—and thole' medical %en who have. tad much experience in the management of fuck diforders have ton often witnefferi its woeful ter.' mination here as there, in a Rate of total blindnefs. • It has rarely happened, indeed, that the Ophthalmia In this country has been eommmunicated to the at. iendatus and friends of the perfons whoa had the difr• order—but this alto has oecafionafly taken place, and fometimes, though rarely, the istermetation has affected, with almoll equal violence, a whole fa mily. Within the lad few months. an Ophthalmia, • of the kind above mentioned, has attacked a peat number of foldiers in feveral of eer regiments; find . , a diforder, not wholly unlike •Sel Mashes alto Learn • itfelf, though with 14 viedeenlip *dome of our boarding fthools, where it leemaitairaMmenunicated to a confiderable number of Widnes tad has occa (toned great trouble and ineosweliesee before it could be fubducd. Now, Sir, my principal objea in troubling you with the prefern letter, is, to intimate a conviction Ilbrongly impreffed i,n my own mind, aid which, I think, has been proved by many inftances that have come under my notice, that this diforder is not fo likely to be communicated by an, infeaious Rate of the ataiofphere, as by the comae of Mee (mall pot- tion of the morbid fecretios that idreseboun the eyes of thole who are affected with it. Tbeilevetion Min takes place in this fpecies at `fin not merely an increafe of tears, but t coloured fluid, which is often profufe in y, and as thick in coo fllience as common crew tend if a fink particle of this fluid be applied to efittealthyleye, it ts. I believe, as fully able to, convey the diforder to it, as the infection of a particle of the finall pox or cowpox matter would be to communicate theft feveral diforders to thore who arc inoculated by ahem. The inference from this obfervatins is, that the utaloß care is rte. celfary to prevent thqbaselkeichiefs and cloths that I are employed by lib* who have an inflammation it the eyes from being used by other pet funs ; and its partieular, that the balms in which they wafh be thoroughly cleanfed before others are permitted to make tile of them. Thefe are cautions which are ne. ceffar y to be regarded, if we only look to the edema (ages of cleanlinefs ; but they become infinitely im portant, when it is confidered that they tend to pre ferve from fo dreadful a diforder as a malignant ophthalmia. They are particularly neeefrary in our. (cries and boarding fchools ; and they are not Ida important on board of flips, and in the tents and bar. racks of lUldiers. In all thefe places, there is too much reafon to fear, that many not only wipe with the fame towel, but walla with the fame water. I only add, on the treatntent of this diforder, that it appears to me in general to be moll highly inflammatory; that large and repeated evacuations are often indilpenfably necelfary ; and that 'bele, with the ftee application of cold water, fometimee male cooler by the addition of ice, are among the mull cfreCtira remedies with which I am acquainted.
