The Prisoner was no rela tive to him, hut had obtained the money by pretending that she was his grandchild. The Prisoner stated, that she had every reason to believe herself the grrodchild of the deceased, she was brought up by him from her infancy, he always acknowledged her as such, and had left a will, in which lie described her as his grand-daughter. Mr. Finch, of the Kent-road, stated, that be was really to prove that the parents . of the Prisoner were uow alive, that their name was Atwell, that the Prisoner hail no claim ow John Smith as a relative, she was may an adopted child. The Magistrate said that the money had been received as a claim of right. There were so appearances of a fraudu lent intention.

Frederick Holborn, Rector of Dennington, against the assessment for the relief of the pour or that parish. The principal ground of appeal was the sum for which the Appellant stood rated for his tithes, and • farm late in the occupation of Mrs. Barker; for the former he was assessed at 499 i. and for the latter at the rate of sd. per acre.. It was contended by Mr. Serjeant BEST, who was sperially retained fur the Respondents, that the Appellant was fairly rated for the tithes in pro portion to the lands in the parish. as it would be proved that they were worth 1,100/. per annum, and that the whulr laud in the parish was assessed at full half its value. Several e 11l ll ent land-surveyors were examined by Mr. Sumas and Mr. COOPER, Counsel fur the Appellant, who stated, that in valuing tithes, they always calculated them in the proportion of ou►- fifth of the value of the laud if arable, and one sixth if pasture; and taking the calculation iu this say. the Appellant ought to be rated at :Milt in stead of 4991. . Mr. Srijeillit BEST ee►y ably replied to the case attempted to be made out by the Appellant, and animadverted nil the mode in which hos witnesses endeavoured. to establish the proportion of assess ment between tithes and lind, and insisted that no general rule could he maintained as to that point. as each case must depend upon its own peculiar circumstances. . The Cower, after mature deliberation, con. &mud the rate, as fir as respected the asse►surent for tithes, and amended it as to that for the farm, late Barker's, by reducing the payment to 11s. per acre. This cause occupied the whole day. CORN EXCHANGE, JANUARY 21.
