We have heard the question put, why the constitu ifs and state of the Medical department of the Guards, remained unnoticed and untouched, while. that of the Line of the Army, the Ordnance and ;Ivy, appears to have been scrutinized by the Com missioners?

The three parts already befime the public, exhibit numerous marks of the judgment and taste with which this elaborate and extensive work is conducted.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, MAY 4. THE KING V. EIIAIILLY. Mr. G ua XVI` moved for a Writ of Habeas Corpus to be direc ted to the Governor of the House of Correction fir the County of 'Middlesex, to bring up the body of Francis Bradley, who stood committed for an offence, under an Act of Parliament called the Little Go Act ; and the Defendant was ordered there to remain for six months ' without Bail or Mainprise, and until discharged in due course of law. The motion whi , 7h he was now submitting to the Court, was founded upon a th • Commitment, which was for" unlaw filly exercising a certai g .me,by drawing of rickets or lots for goods, and tliqeriiiai; ant. de.dine out money in lieu thereof." It happened that this was the clause in the Act of parliament, which prohibited the practice under a penalty of 5041 but that which gave the Magistrate a power to commit the offender, was of another form. The pe:•ii , ty clause was in the 42 Geo. 111. c. 11 v. sec. 5. the committing clause was in the first sect. Writ grained. MAI .5.-1111 - F.SIAN SUBJITTS.

N EV. MA N AGAINST MORGAN. Mr. (ARROW moved fora new trial in this case. It was an action tried before Mr. Justice Heath, at Chelmsford, at the suit of a farmer against the Rector of the r.arish, for not taking away I the tythe of hay. On the evielnice it was proved, that the tythe was set outimatediteely afier the grass was cut in the swathe, and then the farmer required the Rector either to take it away, or to make it himself upon the gralind, and then take it away, but re fused to let his own servants proceed to make it into hay. The Learned Judge thought the farmer was bound to have ted ded the hay, that is, to have mad,. it into grass cocks, and pro- , crud toward.. the first process of haymaking, tier oin , rwise the grass could nut pr sperly be taken away, but would be in d:u.:ger of being heated and spGiled. and upon this ground he uonsuited the Plain: ar. • Mr. GA ItRONV /pre'. Cd his ignorance of the art of haymaking, and even of the term 'Podding, but contended, that there could be no medium, and either the Lanier must be compelled com phtely to rrake the hay, or might reqtrire the parson to take it away after it was cut, without doing himself any thing towards preparinr it for the stack. He did not, however, contend that the parson should not have the use of the farmer's laud furtnaking the hay. The Court granted a rule to thew cause, in order to considtr the question, as it was of gm :It importance to the community to settle this point with respect to the law of tythes ;but they seemed much inclined to adopt the rule laid down by the learned Judge. TIIE KING V. SIR CHRISTOPHER HAWKINS, BART. THE REV. GEORGE NIOORE, AND OTHERS.
