LAW INTELLIOENC'E. COURT OF CIiANCRRY—Jusa 9. CITY OF 60119011, V. MITIOVT3. This was a bill filed by the Lord Maybe and Cor poration of the City of London, against the De fendants, the assignees of a Mr. Turner, a Bank rupt, praying a specific execution of a lease for 40 , years, to be renewable at the end of each forty years, for ever, of certain premises in Bridge -street, Klacktriars, under and by virtue of a covenant, in a certain lease made by one Gennon, one of Mr. 'Turner's ancestors, about the year 1730. The pre mises are now partly built upon. and partly covered with the bridge and quay, and some of them con stitute a part of the street or highway, leading to Biackfriar%' Bridge. These premises were let or sold by the City of London, to the Committee of Blackiriars' Bridge, in the year 1760, without any communication with Turner's ancestors. The state of the premises is quite sabered from what it was at the time of the original lease, under which the City was bound, on their failure to per form the covenant in the lease, to give up. not only the premises in question, but other premises of their own, lying near the former, in consideration of the injury Mr. Gennon had other ssise complained of. by means of the City buildings. It is now ins. possible that the City, who have not fulfilled their covenant according to the terms of it, can restore the premises; and the Assignees have a judgment at law in their adtion against the City, by consent, while the City have, by the Court, and under the same consent, an initiation against the proceediug at law, until the hearing. The wotds of the covenant are, " that the City shall, on or before the expiration of the last month of each v:rm of forty years, at all times, for ever, tender to the heirs of the lessor, a lease, with the like covenants, as in the original lease are e,.istain ed ; and that vtch heir shall a-secure the same at a rent of 200!. a yeai " The City have suf fered a lapse of thirty years. with. lit tendering such lean ; and, nu the death of Mr. T'urner's mother, •;ie last le,sur t in the 'ear 1100, her son, by his a,ignecs, claimed one ur livid .41 moiety of the premises, under the minister .ettlenseot of his fa ther and mother, and brought his Actin ; the City filed their Bill in 1802, a d the Chancellor appears stronOy against the relief prayed Tr by the bill, avhich would constitute the covenant a perpetual one, in all events, ,rod agains: every casualty or ac cident. Sir Arthur Pigglit is to be heard to the points suggetted by the Cirincellor, on beh4lf of the City, before judgmei.t ; and the case excites great interest, as no care or precedent can be cited, wbi;h bears direEtly upon the question.

At the time of the transanion in with .% Rear- Admi:al Pringle commanded a "question off' the Cape of Good Hope, and L'Oicsais, one of the ships tinder his command, being in want of repair, and there being no means of setting her to rights at the Cape, the Admiral sent her to the East Indies to Admiral Rainier, who was at that time Corn. mender in Chief of all His Majesty's ships and ves sels on that station; he sent her to Calcutta, where she underwent a complete repair, and when ready for sea, was commanded by Admiral [Winer to take the homeward bound East lnJia fleet under convoy, as far as was consistent with her regular destination (the Cape). In the course tit the toy age L'Oi,east separated from her convoy by st.ess of weather, and soon rafter tell in with and captured the enemy's ship L'Atigtlique, which was afterwards condemned as lawful priz in the usual way Dui ing the absence of L'Oivau from the Cape of Good Hope statkon, and previous to making the capture on her return, Admiral Pringle had been superseded, and Admiral Christian appointed to the command in his room. The capture, however, it appeared, was made within die limits of Admiral Rainier's command. Messrs. HOLROYD and Moorman were severally heard on both sides, the former to set aside the verdiet, and the Litter in support of the Plaintiff's right of aSion. The Court, however. were unanimously of opi nion. that ibe Plaintiffs had no right to recover in this maion. First, because L'Osirua was not at the time of the capture under the command of Admiral Christian. but in the ad of °baling the orders of Aduiiral Rainier, then senior in command to Ad miral Chrisuaa. And, secondly, breau,e the cap ture was made within the limits of Admiral Rai niei's command, alihough the case did nut set out the extent and boundaries of those limits. It was another question, nut then for the Couit to decide, whether Admiral Rainier was entitled to this prise money or not? but is was clear that the present were not. NAND:V.IMS.

Mr. JsolVts obtained a similar rule, to Mr. Jetrries Re:lor, Mayot tbs bowel of Salta,b, command ing him to deliver en the Town Clerk, Mr. Barlow. the Constitution Book of the Borough. It appeared that Mr. Barlow had been many years Town Clerk to this Borough, and usually made the entries in the book in question, which the Mayor had possessed himself of, and refused to give up to the Town Clerk, in-whose custody k bad hitherto been. Mr. WITHSSAL applied for a similar rule to be direfted to the bailiff, portrnen, and freemen of the borough of Ipswich, calling upon them to ad mit one John Tobin, as a freeman of that borough. It appeared, that, from the charter, all persons who had served their regular apprenticeship, &c. had a right to their.lreedoni of this corporation, upon pro ducing their indenture of apprenticeship, and a certificate from their master. The regular mode was, for the muter to have one part of the in denture, and the other was lodged in the town chest. In this case, the master, in removing from one place to another, had lost his part of the in denture, and the counterpart, which was lodged in the town chest, after diligent search, could not be found. All these, and the other necessary faels, to entitle him to his freedom, were sworn to, by tl.e master and apprentice, notwithstanding which, the corporation still reftssed to admit him. Lord k.t.r.criscreouuss—" On what grounds do they reject him r' Mr. WLTIIIKAL answered, that he believed the fad was, that tnis transaction took place at the time of the General Eleetion, and this person went to the Town Hall, with a ribbon of a different co lour than those worn by the generality of the Cor poration. !hey pretended, however, that they re jefted him on the grounds of a bye law ; but the Learned Counsel observed, he sever knew an in stance before, where a bye-law could set aside the common law of the land.

HERTFORDSHIRM A(RICULTURAL MEkTInG. Oa Monday morning, the first meeting of the No hlemen. Gentlemen, and Farmers. lately associated under the name of " Hertfordshire Agricultural Society," was held at the King's Arms Inn, in Great Berkhampstead, in order to witness the match be tween several ploughs, which, to the number of twenty, soon after started, in a field previously mea sured out, about one mile from the town, as compe titors for the prizes offered by the Society, where a vast concourse of spetiators assembled. Messrs. John Ellman, John Field, and John Woodman, were the three Umpires appointed 'uy the Society, and were instructed to take duly into their consideration the cleanness and well turning of the furrows, the evenness of the b atom, arid compa rative lightness cl draught. The soil of the experiment field was flinty. 'with a tolerable mixture of clayey loam, which the late seasonable rains bad rendered in good order for ploughing. During the trial it was observed, that the old Hertfordshire, and some which were called new Hertfordshire ploughs, drew much harder thus the Vv'est Sussex, and improved ditto; and that • next to these last, in point of ease and draught. might be mentioned the new Hampshire plough of Mr. Pienty's make ; en improved Berkshire plough, of Mr. Pope's, had many admirers, and was of light draught. 1 Atter the ploughs had all finished their woe Ir. and the Umpires had retired for some time. their report was read to the company by the fi irl of idgtvater, the President, who, in consequence. awarded the premiums as follows, viz.:— Ten Guineas to Mr. Howard, of Kingswortn, as the owner of I bat plough, Sir. tireurro West Sussex plough, impros- - cal since its adoption in Hertfordshire, cast year.

These decis;on; seemed to give very geom.,' sa tisfigetion. After this the company examined several pens of very fine South-Down sheep, exhibited by the Eat of Bridgwater, and Morass Pickford, Esq ; and soon after upwards of one hundred of the Mem bees, and their trier.ds, sat down to an excellent dte ner, the Ea.! of Bridgwater in the Chair, besides a very numerous second table, in an adjoining room, for farmers' servants, kc.
