This beinj the first Seal Day before Michallras Term, the LORD CHANCELLOR came to Lincoln $ Inn Hall by half-past ten o'clock. His Lordship, however, was occupied in the private tooth for some time. He took his seat on the Bench at a quarter past 11 o'clock, and having received the usual salutations of the Bar, Mr. Hata? rose, and said, in the case of Mattock v. Naddock, he was instructed to inform his Lordship that the parties had agreed to compromise the cause, and that he had therefore now to apply to his Lordship to order that certain papers which had been filed in the' cause, might be ordered to be delivered to the parties. The Long CHANCELLOR said he was happy the parties had saved him the trouble of giving judgment between them ; and as they had wisely 'reed to settle their own disputes, he could have no objection to the cause being struck out, and the papers should be delivered over - - as prayed for. Flh Loansaw then proceeded to hear motions ley the Learned Counsel within the Bar. COURT OF ICING'S BENCH, Om 31. BROWN V. BAKER. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, who keeps the Crown Inn, at Windsor, to recover the sum of 61: 9s. for the board and lodging of a Gentleman of the name of Richards. It appeared that the defendant, who is a Sheriff's officer, bad arrested Mr. Richards, a Cap . _ tain on half pay, and at his request bad allowed him to remain at the Crown Inn, instead of taking him to a lock-up house. Captain Richards remained at the Clown Inn for eighteen days, the defendant having pro• inked to pay for whatever provisions might be fur nished`to him. At the time when plaintiff demanded the paytnent of his bill, which amounted to 61.9;. the defendant said he could not pay him unless he chose to take a bill from Captain Richards. One or two witnesses having been examined, the son of the defendant was called to prove the plaintiff had been paid by the bill of Richards's, but the fact was not made out. The Jury, under all the circumstances, found i verdict for the plaintiff—damages, 61.95. PZACOCK V. ANTROBUS. GENT. This action was brought by a Mater in Chancery against the defendant, an attorney residing at Liverpool, upon his undertaking to pay all the fees and expenses incurred by not removing a Mr. Jackson, who had made himself amenable to an arrest for a contempt of the Court of Chancery. It appeared that the officer went down to Liverpool to urea Mr. Jackson and another person for contempt. On his arrival he found Jackson in a state of illness, which made it dangerous to remove him. The defend ant, who was Jackscm's solicitor, said, he would give an undertaking to pay all expenses if Jackson was not then removed. The officer consented not to remove Tint, and when the plaintiff applied for his expenses, there was no payment. It was objected that the mes senger ought not to be allowed to charge, when he went down to arrest two persons, sixpence a mile travelling expenses, and make both pay that demand ; but it did not rypear that there had been any irregularity in the charges, and the Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, OCT. 51. KING V. BUTTERWORTH. This was an action of trespass brought by the plain tiff for the removal of his goods from No. 11, Sergeants' Inn, Fleet-street. Mr. Sergeant VAIMHAN (with whom were Mr. Ser geant BoSANQUZT and Mr. F. POLLOCK) stated, that a icr, had been made on the plaintiff's goods for the .oon-payment of poor rates, to which the plaintiff was considered subject as an inhabitant of the parish of St. Dunstan in the West. The place had been practically deemed extra-parochial for the last three centuries.— it was a case involving more of antiquarian than legal research. It was lately held by the Chief Justice of the King's Bench, that though a place should be sur rounded by houses belonging to a certain parish, it was no proof that the inclosed place was in the same. The act of alleged trespass was then admitted. Mr. Sergeant WILDE (with whom were Mr. Sergeant SPANKIE and Mr. MERREWETHIR) for the defence, argued, that the omission of parochial payments for some years was no reason for a continued exemption, if the place were now proved to be in the parish. The statute of Elizabeth excepted no parties from poor rates, because living in particular places. The Learned Sergeant then went into a statement from the bequest of money in the beginning of the fourteenth century, for the purchase of the ground whereon it is alleged Ser. geants' Inn now stands. The Learned Sergeant adverted to the writ of ad loaf dantnam to the Inquisition, and to the consequent licence granted by the Crown. Those documents represented the place as being in the parish of St. Dunstan's in the West. Afterwards the ground having been seized by the Crown, was purchasedfor an inn by the Judges and Sergeants. In the instrument by which this purchase was effected, and in the consecra tion of a chapel there, the place was described as in S. Dunstan's 'wish. In the 22d JAWS I. an ejectment was brought, by the record of which the place Was so . siesciibed, and in which the former documents were re cited. There was also other avidence,. from which the Learned Sergeant calculated on a verdict establishing the right of the parish. The salverst instrumenti were produced, and Mr. Hopkinson', Vestry Cie; k Of the parish, was ex attuned, and, in the course of his examination, several its were read from a parish book, culled gi the Dot msday 80 , k," to prt ye that the Sergeants and Judges were considered as inhabitants of the parish o St. D instan its the West. In these the Sergeants v.-ere charged, on many occasions; fur casualties and repairs, Ake.tu the parish. In answer to a question in the cross-examination b, Mr. Sergeant VAUGHAN, it WAS admitted that the bitint 'evidence as now addeced had been given on a former • 'trial respecting Sergeants Inn, Chancery-lane.—(A laugh).--In the parochial perambulations which are made triennially, the witness had never known that Sergeants' Inn was entered, because the gate was shut —(A laugh).—Neither did the officers, in collecting the rates, proceed beyond the first seven houses in the Inn. The cue for the defence having closed, ..Mr. Sergeant VAUGHAN replied, and argued that the right contended for by the parish was not proved. He admitted that the place might be within the ambit, but it did not follow that it sheuld.be included in the parish duties or assessments. The records relied on were merely descriptive, and only referred to part of seven houses in the Inn, which abutted in Ram Alley,_ and theiefore were liable to parish rates. But these were exceptions to the rights of exemption which the rest of the Inn possessed. In the time of the Commonwealth, and in the reign of King William the Third,_ a species of land tax had been levied separatively and distinctively in Sergeants' Inn, FlPet•street. The LORD CHIRT JUSTICR said, that when a parish had acquiesced in the exemption for so many years, it. required very clear evidence to prove the right in ques• tion. His Lordship having then summed up, left the case to the Jury, who, after a few minutes, brought in a verdict for the plaintiff—damages, 151. This verdict, of course, establishes the right of the Inn to be deemed extra-parochial. The Chief Justice removed into the adjoining Court of King's Bench, where be means to sit fur the rest of the week. The other Court seems much better adapted for hearing. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

The following is a copy of the decis ion " The Stewards of the Jockey Club are of opinion, that, ac cording to the advertisement of Durham Races, Mr. Milward's nomination ought to have been made to the Clerk of the Course at Durham, en or before the 2d January, 1824 ; that not having been so made, Mr. alilward's horse was not entitled t o start for the Welter Cup ; and that, consequently, Mr. Aldenen is end tled to it."

(For * Misery Promotions," seeflrst page.l OLD BAILEY-THIS DAY. Williane Eskett, aged 18, was put to the bar on an in dictment, charging him with breaking and entering the dwelling : house of Sarah Stone, and stealing therein •a rious articles, consisting of silver spoons, &c. her pro perty, on the 27th of September last, at Kensington. Thrproseattrix in this case was a Lady of fortune, re• sident at Kensington, and on the day in question the prisoner was sees running from the house towards a cart, in which two men were placed.. The property having been missed by the servant to Mrs. Stone, a hue and cry was raised, and the prisoner was secured. The facts were clearly brought home to the ;slimmer, who said nothing in his defence, and •the Jury without hesitation found the prisoner Guilty. Jqseph Jones was put to the bar on an indictment, charging him with stealing in the dwelling-house of M. Young, Esq. No. 112, Strand, a watch. a ring, and various other propetty, the goods. of Robert Iles and Frederick Hourgan. This robbery took place on the 20th of October last, at the San Office, and the prisoner and another who escaped, having possessed themselves of the property, made their escape, but were eventually stopped with the wearing apparel in their posiession.— The watch and ring were however not recovered. • The. Jury found the prisoner Guilty of the minor of. fence,pere having been a misnomer in the drawing the indictment; the name of the_ proprietor havipg been inserted by mistake. . The prisoner was a well known character, and, when taken, was in company with thirty or forty thieves. Mt. Seigel:lt A SAMS directed a note to be made, that the prim saner was a it subject to be sent out of the country, for the term of ids natural life. At ten o'clock Mr. Sergeant ARABIA left the Bench for a few minutes, and on his return informed the Jury that he had appointed a case for hearing positively for ten o'clock in the New Court. Owing however to some mistake, it was necessary for him, in order to expedite the public business of the country, that he should go into that Court for the purpose oehearing the pleas of the respective prisoners, as neither the Recorder nor Common Sergeant had arrived. He would, however, lot detain them but for a short period; but he felt it necessary to inform them of thacause of his absence. : The Learned Sergeant then went into the New Court, and the g prisoners were arraigned: ' it is usual for Mr. Sergeant Musty to preside in the Old Court till ten or half past ten o'clock, at which ......iiia dime the Judges of the Sessiod generally arrive, and 'then the Learned Sergeant retires to the New Court, to ptoceed to the trials of minor importance. This morning Mr. Arabia took his seat as usual in the Old Court, at nine o'clock, and remained there till near eleven, when finding the Learned Judges did not make their appearance, he retired to the New Court, which was crowded to excess by witnesses and prosecutors, and presided there during the arraignment of many pri soners. After this proceeding had been gone through. the Learned Sergeant arose, and addressing the Jury said, that he should fail in the discharge of a duty he owed to them, and to the high characters who had during the present long Session performed a very fatiguing and arduous duty, if he were not to ex plain the reason why they were not now in attend ance in the other Court. Last night he was told by the Learned Judges themselves, that it would be ins possible for them to preside to day, in consequence UV:me - other most important business that they were obliged to transact elsewhere ; but should they not attend to that business they referred to, they Most certainly would preside here at the usual time. He feared there bad been some misunderstanding on the subject amongst the Gentlemen at the bar, who he believed thought that 'ber certainly would attend, and in consequence he IMr. Sergeant Arabia) had remained in the Old Court longer than was his usual custom, and be now begged to say, that as their Lordships did not arrive at ten o'clock, he felt satisfied that business of the utmost importance had prefented them ; he, therefore, must settle to the other Court. Mr. Auer.-.Send for Mr. Denman from Guildhall, he ought Is come. Several Attendee complained to the Counsel of the hardship as their witnesses were all present, sod by the delay would be cough Amity inconvenienced. Mr. Sergeant Arians then retired, and the business of this Court was suspended. Yesierda y,G. Jell was indicted for embezzling 221.11 s received by him, on account of his employers, Messrs. Cooke and Gladstone, of Cheapside. Mr. BRODRRICIC stated the case for the prosecution: The case was a very intricate one, and the circumstances is follows :—The prisoner,. in January, 1825, received a check for 221. lls. on account of his employer, but which he did not account for at the time, but kept it in his pocket until January following, when he presented itfor payment, and the identical notes he received in exchange for it were, at the expiration of that time, paid by him into his employer's bankers, to their credit ; but he at the same time kept back 221. I Is. from a larger sum of money. which he was at that time en trusted to pay in. He never gave credit on his account for the amount of the check. A leas argument took place hetWees the Leaned Counsel upon the law of the case. The Common Suoun at length decided that the matter *odd se to_ the Jury, and he would *serve ;be . point raised for further onimbieratom "The Jury, ifter a very careful naimination of the boobs of as mosnm, and some of the witnesses, who were recalled, save a ver dlit 4 Guilty. : . ; darks Thomas • While, bookseller, aged 23, stood ,indicted.for setting fire to a certain house, situate in the parish of St. Giles-in-the-Fields. There west two other l 'indictinents, varying the terms of the charge. Mr. Antler stated the ease, and called the fallowing viitnesset : Michael Shine, a watchman, heard an alarm of fine on the night of the 4th of August, at the house of the prisoner, 263, High Holborn. : When he went to the house the door was shut, and Mr. Lazarus, who lived in the upper,part, opened it for him ; he went down the kitchen stairs, and sa or that the fire commenced beneath ; could not say how long it had been on fize; he got water and quenched it; he broke up two steps of the kitthen stairs to see if there was. any. fire remaining.— The fire appeared to him to have arisen from fire hang ing down from the gas. In about half an hour after wards he retuned, and a fireman chewed him part of some links, when be was satisfied that the fire was occa sioned by links. A model of the house was then pro duced, and the witness described the fire as taking place under the kitchen stairs; there 'was a ladder placed 'against the closet door; he saw the prisoner and Mr. l lamas •hen he went in ; the prisoner hacta grey frock morning gown on. Samuel - Furaman, exv&ned by Mr. ALort—Was, watchbotsse.keeper of St. Giles's I and diskarered afire at two o'clock on the morning of the 4th of August. at the prisoner's house; his (witness's) brothe r,. And Reilly, were there before Mai, as were Mo . severni Gentlemen; the fire was almost out when he came; on !going down stairs, he observed to the prisoner, 0. there is something wrong about this fire;" all underneath was burnt to cinders. He asked the prisoner if he suspected any one in the hawse? The prisoner said, that previous to the fire, the table in the front kitchen had been set on fire by some person ; he (witness) examined the table ; it appeared that some liquid had been on it, as it was burnt in the middle ; he asked the prisoner who had the care of it? the prisoner said that no one but Mr. Lazarus and his servant had access to the kitchen, and that he suspected the servant had stt it on fire; Margaret Drew was called down stairs, and there was some altercation about who should give charge of her. Lazarus said he should, as she was his servant; he then made a search with Reilly, when the latter found too pieces of links, about eight inches long; on examining the st a'rs he found a quantity of pitch, which seemed to have fallen from the link which fitted the place on the stairs where the pitch was. He then went into the kitchen, and aArd tie prisoner whether he had any links?. prisoner replied that he never had ; die girl was then taken in custody ; there was no gas conductor behind where the fire took place. On the 1 Ith of August the prisoner and Lazarus came to wit ness ; the former said that he had been dining with his mother the day before, who told him that there had been links in the house six or eight months ago. Wit ness said that he wanted to go to Mr. Bradford's, where he understood some links had been bought. He asked Mr. W. what he wanted links for six or eight months ago ? He said he had a party of friends who were sitting in the yard, and as the candles were blown out, the links served to light them again ; on the fol lowing day the prisoner, with some others, went with witness to Mr. Bradford's; L zarus said to Bradford. " Aro I the man who bought the links?" Bradford replied, u You are not;" it has been s +id by Bradford that the links had been bought on the 4th of Aug ust. between eleven and one? the prisoner replied, "I can prove by two witnesses that I was in bed at twelve." Bradford said, " I could tell better if I saw the person in his morning gown ;" Lazarus said, " I will go home and put on any different dress ; '' witness said to the prisoner, " have no objection to go home and put on your morning gown. and let Mr. Bradford see you?' the prisoner replied, "I shall do nottlin of the kind, for I will not make a puppet show of myself; v itness 'saw the prisoner in his morning gown on the occasion of the fire; when next be saw him in that dress the sleeves bad been cut a little shorter. _ Thomas Dodwell—ls shopman in the house of Mr. Bradford, and recollects some person buying link on the 4th day of August last, between eleven and mit; believes the prisoner to be the man ; the remnants of the links now produced are very like those which witness sold; the person who purchased the links, was dressed in a grey morning gown. Witness saw the prisoner in his morning gown, on the 4th of October, in St. Giles's watchhouse ; it was very like the gown worn by the person who purchased the links, but it was cut shorter in the skirts. Witness recollects that the prisoner es. re with another Gentleman en the 10th of August, and asked if Mr. Bradford was at home? witness SUlti he was not ; prisoner replied "my name is White, and I have come about the links." Witness said, , 4 we want ' none." Prisoner said, 64 I don't mean that. but I have heard that you said I had purchased some links of ion?" He (witness) replied, " how could I say so, when I did not know you ; some person having a grey morning gown on, bought links here." Prisoner said, " that is the dress I wear.' The impression on witness's mind was, that the prisoner was the man ; he di4 not tell him so, because he did not wish to impute it to him. The links had been taken away in a blue bag. Omnsexansined by Mr. Anotenus—lt was his master who sold Ilse Ulm By the Comm—Witness has seldom been asked for links since die establishment of gas lights. • 'William Bradford—ls an oilman in Broad -street, S . Giles's, and recollects some person purchasing two links, on the 4th of August, between eleven and one o'clock, Of a little after; he paid fourpence for the links, and carried them off in a blue bag. He (witness) saw the prisoner and some other person on the 12th of August ; Lazarus asked him if he was the person who had pur chased the links? he said no. This witness corroborated the evidence of Furzman, as to what took place at that interview, and added " I have seen the prisoner since that time at the watchhouse in his morning dress, and he very much resembles the person who bought the links of me." Examined by Mr. Pawns—The coat which the prisoner wore et the watchhouse was a but. shorter than that which the person wore who had purchased the links. Humphrey Lazarus examined by Mr. ALLEY.—Is a jeweller, and lived, on the 4th August, in the prisoner's house ; he occupied the first floor, two rooms on the garret, and the front kitchen; had a wife and family dare; the gas cocks were in the front kitchen, to which the prisoner had access to turn the gas ; on the 4th of August, after he (witness) went to bed, he was. awoke by the smoke ; on getting up, he put his bead out of the - . window, and cried out, " fire r then went dbwa stairs, and opened the door for the watchman, who bad rung the bell. Furaman questioned witness's girl respecting the fire ? she denied it, and he (wit ness) was of course obliged to give her in charge; when he came back from the watchhouse, he met the prisoner laughing in the passag . e, and said," Mr. White,•l really see nothing to laugh at; he went with him' to the parlour, when he said, "if I • were you I would not prosecute her ?" wittiest replied,." Mr. White, Ido not know what you mean; you first make me take up the girl, and now you tell me you will not prosecute;" witness attended at the Police-office ; the girl was dis charged on the Ist of August; observed a ladder placed to the trap door at the top of the house; this ladder used to be in the kitchen; he removed it from the trap door, but it remained on the stairs until the fire; he never bought links at Bradford's shop, nor put any under the stairs. _ _ Cross- examined by me ADOLPHUS—Is not a working jeweller, but a general dealer; he means that he buys cloth and every thing ; the place under the stairs where the fire broke out belongs to him. Mr. White attended the Police Office next day along with witness, but was not examined; when the girl was dismissed from the charge of setting the house on fire, she was detained on a charge made by him for stealing some things; she was tried and acquitted at the last session ; witness was not allowed his expen►es. The garret room in which he slept was, of all rooms in the house, the most remote from the fire, yet he perceived Pt first, and gave the alarm; 'blahs that Mr. %%kelvin coming out of his PIP 111 Imo '~
