Mr. Cummins, M:. and Mr. Platt, appeared on the part of the claimants; mid the Attorney-G..llos', Mr. liaroson. and Mr. Gm-mi, suppurted the interests of the Com missioners. _ _ On t'ne part of the claimants, it was proved by Mr. liebinx„ Th.: auctioneer, of Warwick-street, thst the value of the prenikas is question. sallowitut fke every fair deduction, was 33901. The 'n:agment of Mr. Robins wus supported hy the tettikuony Itmuks.ll, an architect. and Mr. Thomas, a builder. The , s ttorney-Geneval, .in his address to the Jury, expressed surprise she manner in which these cases were got up ; and that the parties asking compensation mmally went anant w.vking those persons to put a value upon their property. wiw were most likely to e , ,tienafe it at the highest prier. The ; tosiness was is :'act carried en after the manner of a sale by ant • ton, and he who was the highest bidder was the person most Oikely to be choien as fit to appear as a w itneat htfore a Jury. Thus, it. the ptattetit ease, three indi.-iduals were selected to tip- ' 'Lola tie claim, while it fourth, of thu name of Wil• liasur, who hal .been appointed by woe of the t 4., plaintiffs (he -xneurn Mr. Ward) upon whose estinfite a claim hat! actually been nlude upon the Curnmissioners, and which M:4 far telew . that of Mr. Rohn...J. ass studiously avoided. lie should_ pit: in Williams's aaturiate, which, altiraigh of itself somewhat . ex:arrogant, iota much nearer the rest value of the premises In - dispute than the others of which they tat heard, stud to these lie add the testimony of other rtapeztable men, from wluel C.O ,;107 woald be alike to come to a talc antelossioo.

'Those insinuations wore neither fair nor well founded. but • laying aside sal allusions to *Slavic, bow did the matter really btami ? What was the essential diforence between the estimates for the crown and for the claimants? The first person called for the crown gave his valuation at $0541. The next bidding. at one ump went up to 5363/.; and then came MT. Williams, who, he was entitled to call a witness on the same side, and whose esti mate reached 53 vs?. He It no hesitation in believing, that if a fourth had been called, he would have gone still further, and court at once to - the estimate of Mr. Robins; and, indeed, when it was recollocted that the persons who had been nailed were the constant surveyors for the crown, and consequently sin likely to bear too hard upon their employers, he had no doubt that the duty would, in a moment, come to the conclusion that the sum claimed by the defendants was fair and moderate, and su:h as ought not conscientiously to be disputed: . Mr. Cumnitus made an ingeninns speech on the same side; and Nil. Smedley having sunnued up the evidenoe, the Jury found, by their verdict, the value of tl , e premises to be 'I'IIREP.
