BILHARD BLACKMAN, E.N. v. the GLAMORGAN CANAL COMPANY. Mr. lHAtr moved for ■n injunction to restrain the Defendants from using the waters of the canal for the purposes or a corn-mill, under the following circumstaisces:—The Plaintiff was the owiar of iron-works in the neighbourhood of the canal. and the Defeodanta were hound by the Act of Puska ment authorising the Canal Company to give him all the superfluous water for the use of his iron work•, instead of which they hid purchased a piece rif land and erected a corn-mill on it, and ►upplied the mill with the waters of the canal, to the great detriment of the Plaintiff. This was en ex-parle sp. plicitiou, but when the. Defendants commenced erecting the mill the Plaintiff give them notice that they were acting wrong, and that he would seek reilreis. He had no doubt, therefore, but his Lordship would grant the injunction. The LORD CHANCELLOR—" Let it be so." PRACTICE. THOS. BARKER V. HENRY BARKER. Mr. CooPER %WM. ►his was a motion for an in junction to restrain the Defendant from consmitting waste. He thought it but right to mention to his Lordship, before he stated the ease, that he had that morning moved it in the Vice-Chancellor . * Court, and his Honour had refused the tootiou, considering the affidavit in support of it not suffi ciently strop;;. Ile would, with his Lordship's per 'Dimon, read the affidavit. The LORD CHANCELLOR — " This is new prac tice, to make the same motion iu both Courts on the same day. I caunot establish such a practice, if I do, I may have ten appeals of the same kind in the course of ■ day. I cannot set such a pre cedent : but as this is an ex-park application to prevent waste, which is entitled to priority, you cannot expect to have that priority in both Courts iu one day : at the same time I would be sorry that strict practice should deprive ■ny of the King's subjects of their rights. If you come to my pri vate room at the House of Lords, to-morrow n►nrnn►LT, I will hear your motion. Hand me up the affidavit in support of it, and 1 will read it be tween this and then. ♦ANSANDER v. GOLDSMID and OTHERS. Mr. HEALD stated this was the. Petition of the Plaintiff, one of the creditors of the late Abraham Golds►nn!, praying that the Defendants, the execu tors of the deceased, should he directed to leave with the clerk Court all books, papers, and documents relat►ve to the estate of the deceased, for the purpose of the Plaintiff's inspecting them. The circumstances were, that the late Mr. Abraham Gold.u►id. at toe time of his death, was indebted to Government in tl►e sr of 466,0001., mid they, with the consent of the other creditors, had in spectors appointed to wind tip the concerns of the deceased. The inspectors were first authorised to act by a deed of the 27th of September, 1810, which was afterwards confirmed by Act of Raba. meat in 1812. The prayer of the Plaintiff's bill was, that the award of the inspectors should be set aside as regarded him, which declared he was u cash creditor instead of a stock one, as the debt accrued by the Plaintiff advancing the deceased a large stun in consols. The inspectors at first gave the Plaintiff Ws option of being considered either as a stock or cash creditor, au& he fixed on the former ; in defiance of which they sold the consols, and turned them into cash. The Defendants, in their answer, submitted to any order the Court would make in conformity with the Act of Parliament, but contended that they,according to the Act, only held the books, documents, &c. for the use of the io spectnrs,a►td that nu other person was entitled to in spect them ; besides, there was another objection to the Plaiiniff being ullowed to inspect them, us he had thieatened to publish their contents. This lain ob jection was most positively denied by the Plaintiff. Ile therefore trusted his Lordship would grant the prayer of ti►e Petition. 81r. SIVIDWELL followed. The SOLICITOR-GENERA 1., Counsel fur the De• feudaut•, said, that the application could not be sustained, as the Plaintiff bad not made the inspec tors tinder the Act of Parliament • party to it, and the Dcleialants were only the holders of the books, &c. (or the use of the inspectwe._ The Luau CHANCELLOR- 4 . The inspectors are nee rrrrr y parties : let notice be served 141 them, and renew this application on the next seal." Further consideration postponed. DAVIS C. HIS GRACE THE DUKE OF ►IARLBOROUGHI. The judgment in this case was again postponed, for on allirtsvit to he made of the actual considera tion the Noble Defendant received for the annuity, when lie was Marquis of Blandforil.

This was an ac.ion of assault ; the circumstances, as established in evidence, were as follow Defendant, a person well known by the amateurs of pugilism, and the keeper of a public-house, ru tered the house of u Plr. ItobArts, it wine-merchant, situated iu Holborn, iu Iris absence, and addressed his clef k, the Plaintiff in the ',repent action, and spoke of the pi incipal in the most v;oltit and in. siiltmg terms. Plaintiff remonstrated ; upon which Defendant proceeded from words to blows, and struck the Plaintiff three tittles with his fist with all lila force, and in consequence of the beating, Plaintiff's head become swelled to a great degree. No defence was attempted—and the Jury, with out any hesitation, found fur the Plaititiff—lhs wogs, 151. and costs. RICHARDS C. sc•uvrti.

ISr. front the Defendant, a tailor. rimcling on itnnolg.honor-Inne, ruftlanocl-place, being the value of a bill of nehause, of winch he was the buldero steepled by tLe Plaintiff, and not Isorninred when due. The defence ,et on by the Defendant was, that lie was not privy to the acceptance of the bill, his son hiving been the accetnor in his absence. Mr. Richards swore positively that the D-fen daut had acknowledged the acceptance as his owl:. Frederick Schulte, sou to the Defendant, ►t..te.i, that he had accepted the bill w the absence of Ins father, and without his knowledge or consent--and that on the return of the latter home he expressed t•trotie displeasure at his doing so—that on Mr. 'Richards, itll4. coming to his lather's to make lit guinea respecting the bill, and lamming witness tt was tendered to hint by Mr. Mouctoti (iii whose favour it had been drawn), and who bad as4rred um the purchase of a gun and n pair of pistols, which he said he meant to pawn (or 401. to go to Paris to marry a French heiress, witness replied that he himself was the acceptor of the hill—that lie had heard the elltle account from Mr. Moncton, and that therefore it should not appear a ground of suspicion —he told Mr. Richards, on his calling at his father's three dls after the bill became due, that it could not be paid. Witness, in his cross-examination, said, lie Want. ed seven months of bring '2l years of age, and that he hid nu concern in his linker's business, and that Mr. Moncton owed his father 133/. 51. fur clothes. 11r. Richards being called H second time, swore he was certain that the conversation respecting the acceptance of the bill, to which he had given evi dence before, had been carried on with Schutte, the father, and not the sun. The CHIEF JUSTICE described the defence at tempted to lie made as an nifinnonv one, and the Jury iiisthritly found a verdict fur the Plaintiff, fur the rum bought to be recovered. IRELAND. WATERFORD. MAT 22. Since our last the city has enjoyed tranquillity. For Thursday an alarm existed, in which we did not participate. if mischief was really projected for that morning, as many apprehended, it was ob viated by vigilant and timely precaution. From before live, Sir Simon Newport, Deputy Mayor, Sheriff A leock. and the entire of the ordinary Po lice visited every spot in winch a nuclear of assem bling was possible. Towards seven they were join ed by most of the special constables. About that hour four or live men were arrested, chiefly about Barronstrand-street ; they were retnembei ed to have been seen active in the mobbing of Monday. We are enabled to present the following report of the trials of such as it was deemed proper to de tain : WATERFORD CITY SESSIONS. Before Sir 811,10 N NEWPORT, Deputy Mayor, and THOMAS COOKE, Esq. Deputy Recorder, May 21. Michael Carbery was charged with riotou•ly as. enabling with others, on the 17th inst. and ovs.iult ing Mr. John Latrobe Wright, Keeper of the City Prison. John L. ‘Vright, sworn.—Recollects the 17th of May ; saw a mob assembled on the quay ; they ap peared riotously inclined; witness went up Little George'► -street; met several Gentlemen. who re quested him to endeavour to disperse the mob. who were then breaking into the house of Mr. White, baker, King-street; witness dispatched a messen ger to the Mayor to acquaint him of the circum stance.; witness went towards Mr. White's and met Mr. Ardagh, who proceeded with him towards Mr. White's; when witness came near the house the mob scattered about; just as witness arrived the door of the house was closed ; witness asked fur admission; one of the bakers said a man was inside, in custody, who had been taken in robbing the till ; witness asked the bakers would they assist him in securing their Prisoner ? they answered in the af firmative; witness gave a man in whom he had confidence, one of his pistols, and proceeded a few yards with his Prisoner, when they were assailed with stones on both sides ; witness was abandoned by his assistants, and was obliged to let go his Pri soner; witness was then assailed with stones, and saw the Prisoner at the bar deliberately throw at him ; marked him at the time. About two days afterwards witness saw the Prisoner, nod knew him immediately to be the person who threw the stone at him ; took him into custody without any resist ance being made. Guilty, but recommended to lenity by the Jury. To be imprisoned one month. The Cou&r intimated that were it not for the kind' esti of the Jury, and the intercession of Mr. Wright, the ►entence would have been more severe. Pierce Whelan, a most unfit-looking person to figure in a starvation mob, with his rosy face bear ing no distant likeness to a red full moon, was charged with riotously, wantonly, and maliciously breaking the windows of Mr. Thomas Jacob, Great Midge -street. _ _ _ William Cooper, sworn.—ls • Market Consta ble ; recollects the 17th of May ; saw a mob as. sembled on the quay, composed of a great number of persons; followed them up the quay and paw t h em stop b e f ore M r . Jacob's house, at which they threw stones ; saw the Prisoner throw a stone at the windows ; just as he was in the act of thro w in g a second stone, witness caught hold of him and de sired him to he quiet; the Prisoner made mistier, and said, " You blind rascal, if you don't mind yotirfelf, I will knock out your other eye." • Wit ness did not take him into custody at that time; could not be mistaken in the person of the Pri soner, as he knew him well. Mr. J o h n Walsh and Mr. J. L Wright were exatniued to prove that the Prisoner was actually among the mob, as he talked of producing wit nesses in his behalf —none, however, were prodriceil. c o rk y .—To be imprisoned three months, and to stand rot a pillory for two hours, each of the two succeeding Saturdays.

OLD BATLEY SESSIONS. iIIUILIDAY, ■AV 27. • Cornelius Moan was indieted for stealing from • lad, named Robinson, a piece of satin of cuusiderable value, the property of Thomas Geddois. The short fpcia of this east were—that en the day stated in the indictment, the yomig led mentioned was carrying the parcel of satin through Covent.garden Market, when the Prisoner snatched it from miller his arm and ran off; he was, however, pursued, and inensediatily tafteu with the property. The Prisoner in his drfcnee paid, thar he had some time sinee ensile to town from Liver' ~,,, in the hope of obtaiiiiiig employment from a Grotleinaii lie km.w. Uri his arrival, how. see, he found that person had left London. and lie re. naiincrl himself • cousideralde time, without mm:timer.. slid in great distress; at length Ise wrote • letter to the Right Hon George Coining (whom hr knew and served during the election at Liverpool), itnploriog his mid ; that gentleman immediately answered Ms prayer, through his servant, who brought hint two half-crowns. The Prisoner was found (hall". Ert:rard Crane was inducted forxtealing two sheets, and other articles, the property of Edward Browne, of Fitzroy. square, ms the 13th of February last. This case was rather extraordinary—The Prisoner at the last Sessions was indicted with (as the receiver of the pro perty) two others as thieves. On that occasi ~,, , a material witness., Mary Ann. Wilson, prevaricated so much that she was commuted to Newgitte for perjury. Another principal eviihmer, Charlotte Leslie, the sister of the Pi -limner, was also prudneed, lint she refused to give her testimony, and was also COMMiiied to Pei-wrote. The Priamier was then Acquitted Opoll the charge of re. 'mitring, hut the Court nrikred bum to be detained until the present Session as an accessary after the fact in the rubbery. Charlotte Leslie was now brought up iu custody to give her evidence, but she refused to be swum. Mr. Justice BAYLEY remonstrated with her upon the ins pendence as well as wickedness of sorts conduct, and took great pains to convince her that her disclosure of the truth could slot injure her. The woman mid she could not, under any suffering, how. ever severe, bring her miud to the determination of swear ing against her brother. Mr. Justice DAN Err said, that the dilly she was called upon to perform was higher than any feeling she could entertain towards her brother. It was a duly not only to her country, but to her Gud. Charlotte replied, that it was of no use—slue had turned the matter well in her mind, soil she ° could out, nor would not swear against flesh sod blood." Foie was in consequence again committed to Newgate. Before the RECORDER and a Loudon Jury. A LITERARY THIEF. Thomas Antell was indicted for stealing seversl copies of " Fielding's Works"—" The Dairyman's Daughter"—" The Dandy Charter," ke. Scc. the property of Messrs. Beasley, printers and publishers.

After she had been served with the goods, and was leaving the shop, Mr. Foulkes sus pected that the letter was not genuine, and desired his ap prentice to follow her, to ascertain if she went by the Green wich coach, and it is supposed she was aware that she vas followed, as she wrist to the Ship puhlic-house, at Chariug cross, where the Greenwich stages go from. Mr. Foulkes afterwards having nu doubt but that the letter was • forgery, sent his shopmsn after her, and he took the goods from her. She then was returning up the Strand, when the showman questioned her as to where she was going, as she did not pro ceed to Greenwich ; to which she replied it was nothing to him, as he had got his goods back, and had not lost any thing. He then took her into custody, and brought her to the Office. At her second examination, Miss Capper attend ed sad declared the letter not to be of her writing. She re- Cognized the Prisoner as Mary Avery, who bad lived as a servant to tier father. The Primmer was committed for trial. .0.r..` ROBBERY AT IBBETSON'S HOTEL.

On his return he found dial some one had forced it open, and he missed the note in question ; hut being in teoasession of its number, he intimated the circumstance of the robbery to Plank, who traced the note to William Alford; who, on being questioned, said he tumid it, bat afterwards contra. dieted himself in that statement. —.— His brother said that he (mind the nnte on the stairs, and gave it to hint to chanze.—They were remanded. ..;.;.0.11;;;:wa •• THE IRi.
