To prove the plaintiff's knowledge of the fraud, a letter from him to his co-trustee, ll'aiker, was produced, is which he stated his opinion that the prior mortgages were more than the estate would fetch, and that the copperas cost more to make it than it was worth.

The CHAIRMAN said, the appeal went to everything possible; that one tit the pointir was of conaieerable importance, that the ap pellants were rated above the value and rate of other persons ; and it was for the beamed Sergeant to use his discretion. He (thc Chairman) could not atop the case.

The Com pany lied been first rated at 25,0001. ; then a survey was made, anti they found that the premises were not worth the rate ; upon which it was reduced. They then thought proper to elect Mr. Mon- I tague, a surveyor, whom they did not think proper to call. But why do they not call him ? because he would speak essentially to facto. Nothing has been done to deteriorate the property : and why is the surveyor not called to speak to the value of the property in 1798, and 1800, when the docks were first commenced ; that was the mode of valuing them. Now he (Mr. Bottanquet) would ask the Court, who were called upon to decide whether an estimate of 17,0001., formed by different wharfingers along the water-side, was such an estimate as would satisfy the Court, or such a proceeding as would contain soundness terjustnees for the Court to decide upon. It was for the Court to decide, whether it has been formed upon such principles new. satisfactory to decide upon, and that there was no false principle on the other ode. It was not long since the Mr uslogimin Has Cotypeny was attempted to be rated in the same way : they were valued for gas at 0001. ; but their value to a te. mantles@ but 2001.

Now he (the Learned Sergeant) would hold, that the value, as set up by his Lr-med YfiClidl, upon the docks, exceeding that of tee rivweside warehouses, was not to much ; for', the water-side wee ous cra es:ltonted the Thames, and each of them 1 had a cone absolu y to get their goods in, without the least in- convenience : how meth Ocala", was theis advantage, then, than those dock warehtotites, none of which had a water-frontage? The profit and advantage arising therefrom would be much better ex plained by the witnesses. Here the Learned Sergeant described the manner in which the property had been measured, to form a proper estimate fur the rate by the appellant's surveyors. I Mr. Benjamin Biggs, surveyor, sworn—l have lived In Wart-' pire twenty years ; consider myself enabled to value warehouse pro- perry ; I have measured the Docks, also other property in the pa riah. A book produced contains my survey, and is limonite ; I have proceeded upon two principles—first, the assessments, so much per square; • Mr. Nk'illiam Lord is assessed at 4801. ; 85 squarer on ground floor, 21. 17s. (Id. per square ; upon that princi 7le I valued the London Dock property, and my fair estimate is ,8001. By the Couar—Mr. Johnson. of his kr.owledge, Is aware that warehouses are let in the Docks weekly. Mr. Riggs continued, cons-examined by Mr. Boeseetto—The East Inds' Company's warehouses,letter A lets at VOL ; D at 1841.; E, 3441. ; these are the comparative assessments. Witness's second mode was actual valuation, upon which he returned 7,81101. Mr. D. R. Roper, surveyor, assisted Mr. Biggs in making ths estimates, and concurs in principle with him ; he estimated • variety of other properties to bring in comparison with it. Wit ness's calculation was made upon what the warehouses would actually let at a yearly rental. The weekly rental paid by the East India Company is higher than what it would let at yearly ; in addition the tasetton makes a considerable difference. Mr. Slinnagne, surveyor, has also surveyed the premises on the part of the parish, and afterwards with the appellants' surveyors; went through all the details with the two last witnesses.

It was a ease of the utmost importance to the parish, and required the serious attention of the Court. He would take their valuation per squaw foot as it was laid down by the first witness, and would multtply It by four, which, upon the average, would make the docks liable to a rate of nearly 29,0001. pet year. The Learned Gentleman then commented on the mode resorted to by the appellants to value their property. Instead of doing as the respondents had done, and Hiking for their guide premises which were not deteriorated, they had formed an estimate upon the Bride well Hospital, a dilapidated building. This was not a fair crite rion. But the trustees of die parish hail formed the:, estimate most fairly, from premises which were not dilapidated, and which closely resembled the London Docks. The CHAIRMAN, in giving the opinion of the Court, said, the case before him was one upon which he was free to confess he hardly knew how to decide. Men of science had given their opi nions and valuations on one side, and persons of great practical ex perience had done the salmon the other. He did not for a moment doubt that the trustees had • right to make a rate ; but his difficulty was, in deciding upon the amount of that rate. Ile certainly should not say that 7,11e01. was a sufficient sum at Which to rate the docks; whilst at the same time lie was of opinion it would be running to the opposite et treene to estimate them at 15,00:11. It would be well, therefore, to steer between the two sums; and the decision of the Court was, that the premises should be rated at 10,0001. for the ' present ; and the parties, he thought, nod better meet and make an amicable adjustment. Judgment was aceordinjely entered, pro forma, for 10,0001. as the 1 sum at which the docks should be rated. ACCIDEN7'S, OFFENCES, 4c.

ATTEMPT AT ASSASAINATION.—The authenticity of the following particulars respecting the attempt to assassinate Mn. Mitchell, in the Potter-row, is said to be unquestionable. Mrs. Mitchell resided with her aged mother, and kept a young girl in the capacity of a servant . Blitchell used frequently to call at the house; hut his wife, apprehensive of hja brutal usage, always re fused him admittance, and kept the door secure against his ap. proach. As it was necessary to despatch the girl at times upon menages, it was mvar.ged that, when the giel retuned, she should rattle the handle of the dour by war of signal to her mistress. This came to the knowledge of Mitchell, who upon the evening when the atrocious act was committed, and while the girl was from home, came to his wife's door, andi tusking use of the signal, was readily admitted. Ilea: once seized hold of a lighted candle, and rushed into a back room, the window of which he threw up with great violence, commanding his wife at the none time to conic and speak to him. :the refused; he approached her, and her tr.°. 'titer took hold of her, to yorereift her Ruing upon whifth Mitchell required to know what right she had to detain his wife front him. The old woman replied that her daughter was tinder her protection. " Then," said Mitchell, " soon put her out of your protec tion;" and drawing a table-knife from beneath his sleeve, he brandished it in her face. At this time the girl returned, and Mrs. Mitchell, upon seeing her. cried to her to run for assistance. Al it chell hearing this, dashed the girl to the ground, and at the same instant plunged the knife into his wife's side, and rushed out of the house. Mrs. Mitchell is a woman of superior talents and acquirements; and, before the perpetration of the crime which has endangered her life, had formed atrangements for teaching French and sewing, for the support Of her aged mother and intant chil dren.—Cutedonian Mcrrary.

It has an happened. that, with the exception of three days with the late King's stag-leninds, and two or three with the Oakley, tire years ALM, I never hunted within forty miles of London in my life. Accident, however, bringing Inc into Surrey, in the begin ning of the present month, I lost no opportunity of seeing the dif ferent packs of hounds which it contains ; and I shall offer your readers a short account of each in their turns. I confess it excited no small degree of interest to satisfy myself how the system of fox-hunting was carried on within a dozen miles of the metropolis, where, in general, the country is so thickly in habited • where there are so many gentlemen's plantations, and where, Calculating by the points of the compass, it is not three to one that the chase do not IA into London. A few days' experi ence, however, dispelled all such apprehension, as there is a chain of woodlands through all that part called " the Hills," too inviting for a fox to quit for a country of which he can have little know ledge, and where he would not be likely to be very well received. The fixture for the Surrey subscription pack being most conveni ent for nie on the day after my arrival in this country, I met them on the 10th of November, at buck's Bottom, on -the Tonbridge Wells road, about thirteen miles from town. Previous to seeing them, my mind was strongly prejudiced against these hounds, and every thing that related to their establishment. 1 was told there was not a good sportsman among the subscribers to them ; that their men knew nothing about hunting ; that being Lord Mayor's day, all London would be there ; and, in short, I began to think, from all I heard, that nothing but my isord Mayor's conch would be wanting to complete the rarce show. Whether this were a true or false representation of the facts, it was not in my power to determine, and nothing but experience could prove it. I knew nothing of the members of the hunt, and as little of their men ; but on my road to covert, I overtook the pack, with which, at first sight, I could perceive no fault. I had seen hounds looking brighter in their skins ; but their condition, as to flesh, was pretty good, and they seemed of a sire well adapted to a roug h country. They appeared not remarkable for being what is cal led " sizeable," some of the bitches being 'mail. but' - rally full of pliii iii rd shewing such good Wed' n• F huntsman yes om i ll ness baring Just m a dangerous attack yphus ;so they were hunted by a bro er of , his, of rather plebeian appearance, with the assistance of Free man, their only whipper-in. Toey were mounted on strong useful horses, one of which was in zemarkably good condition, and the hounds seemed handy and quiet. Before I proceed, I must inform such of your readers as are at a din:since, that these are the hounds which were kept for seven or eight years in very great style by Mr. Alaberley, whose seat is %Wan two miles of Croydon ; and who, in the handsomest man ner, inntle a present of them to the gentlemen who took to the country, at the same time affording them the use of his kennel ; but, fur reasons to which, of course, I sin a stranger, he never huins with them now—going out, when in Surrey, chiefly with Lord Derby and Alr. Jollitfe. Torn Hills, who hunts them, as well as Freeman, who whips in to him, also lived with Mr. Ma- Wiley, and know the country well, as, indeed, do several of the gentlemen who subscribe to them, having hunted it for many years. Tom Hills was brought up in Mr. Alaberlefe service, and pro ceeded by regular steps to the place he now holds ; but Freeman spent some of his years in the service of Mr. Jcilliffe as whipper-in, and, as I was very soon able to discern, knows his business well. On the uay I allude to (the Inth of November), we soon found our fox, and ran him, at a fair hunting pace, for six or seven miles over the country, when we came to rather a tedious check. It was a trying scent for hounds, being one of those greasy mornings after a slight hoar frost, when the ground invariably carries, and more particularly on ploughed land, over which we principally hunted. The hounds, however, stuck well to what scent they had, than which nothing more can be expected ; and jumping up from a Ledge-row in which he had waited, our fox was ran in to view. We ound another in Spring Park, a large covert of Mr. Maberley's, which we could make nothing of ; but drawing on late in the day, we found a good old fox in Fatleigh Park, and killed him at the end (San hour and a half, at a very good pace. In the first of these runs, a gentleman got a very bad fall, at three-parts speed, in one of the flinty lanes, with which thin country abounds, and had a rarrow escape for his life. His horse, I understand, was miserably cut, and himself very 'seriously injured. In one of my former letters on some hunting country, I men tioned the evils of a licentious field, and here I win prepared to witness them ; but I was agreesibly surprised to see every thing so quiet, particularly when we found our fox ; for that is the time when mischief is too often dote; and I have often thought it would be a great benefit to sport, if there was no such word as " tallyho" in the vocabulary of hunting. A fox is one of the shyest animals in nature, and particulatly avoids the " garish eye of day ;" and when lie is saluted at every corner of a covert with a halloo of this description, it often prevents his going well away, if it does not cause him to be chopped by the pack. In :his instance, however, he had very fair play, and after turning once in the covert, having been met accidentally by Freeman he broke in good style, with ' a fair chance for Lis life, and the bounds also were allowed to settle well to the chase. I thought they tried hard to kill him, and I have no bmitatioa in saying, that In a better country he .ouhl not have lited so king as he did. Had they been able to have held on with him at one time, there would have been great distress in ; the field, front the circumstance of a very ugly stile, at the bottom ; of • steep foot-path in a small coppice, where only one could go at a time, and a steep hill to ascend on the other side. As may naturally be supposed, the greater part of the 'ulna-rib- I en to the Surrey hounds are gentlemen connected with trade in ( the metropolis, though some of them reside in the country. They i are distinguish ed by green collars to their scarlet coats, and they i meet three tunes a wetk, when weather permits. 'file principal ' manager of the concern, and whom I heard the servants address by j the appellation of " master," is a gentleman of the name of Haigh, who resides at Furze-down, near Streatham, and also was formerly in trade. Ile has been a sportsman, and report says a good one, for many years of his life ; was an intimate friend of Mr. Illaber ley's ; and appeared to do the honours of the field very much like a gentleman. As may also be supposed to be the case, where bounds are kept by subscription from gentlemen not chiefly resident is thelcountry, a good deal of 'n Ware wheat !" " Ware seeds!" and " Ware turnips !" is to be heard ; so that, in this ploughed country, riding any thing like straight to hounds is out of the question, independ ent of other circumstances. The fences on the hills are trifling compered with other countries, and are such as are generally met with on light land. The hills arc troublesome and distressing— some of the field not liking to go fast down them, and others not being able to go fast up them. An old acquaintance of mine,* whom I recognised among the crows!, and whom I had seen riding very well, when at Oxford, informed me that he had found the better way to cross this country was to go a good slapping pace dawn the hills, when the impetus of his horse assisted him in get ting up them. This, however, does not do for nil nerves ; but, perhaps, it is not generally known, that horses never fall when going straight dorm steep hills, from the circumstance of their haunches being so much under them. That very celebrated sports. man, Mr. Childe, of Kinlett, whose name is immortalised in the Bilk:dors Coptuis poem, as " the first who introduced the present spirited manner of riding to hounds," proved this, when lie hunted Shropshire. Ile was in the habit of riding down the Clee hills (the worst and roughest ground in England, being intersected with large pieces of iron stone) with a slack rein ; and in answer to those situ told hint he would break his neck, he assured then then from the position his horse went in, he could not fall. The most disagree.able circumstance attending the Surrey hills is the flints, which, in most places, exceed in size and quantity those met with in any other counties. They cut both hounds and horses, the latter being frequently spoiled by then. It not unfre- gond; happens, that they divide the tendon of a horse's leg, so that on his ruler dismounting him, he finds his toe turning up- wards ! lie is, of course, ever after, useless. This accounts for no large prices being given fur hunters in Surrey—about NO guineas being the top of the tree. IVere Ito hunt constantly in it, I should prefer stallions or mares, as they would be of some use after such an accident had happened to them. Thorough-bred horses, and others with long yielding pasterns, arc arc most liable to suffer front the flints; wherein short-jointed and stung-legged ones, with the hair suffered to grow on the fetlocks, are the most likely to escape. Tall horses also are not calculated for the Surrey hills, but they must be horses of power, and more than equal to the weight they carry, or they cannot go up the hills. They should also be stning in their loins, and clear winded, with quick use of their hind legs, and with large lengthy shoulders. It is sty opinion, that the less they are interfered with in their na tural action when galloping, the less is the probability of their keing cut. It is also my opinion that no horse that hunts the Surrey hills, and is ridden hard, should have either hay or water after tour o'clock the preceding evening, unless (which should not be the case) he !save been with hounds two day s before. A full atom:tell must be very much against him — caus ing the viscera to press against the diaphragm, by which means the lungs are im peded in their action, and dangerous consequences ensue. Doubt less to this cause is often to be attributed the number of horses that have died after hard runs in this county ; and in one instance that I koow of, the diaphragm, or what the butchers call the mid riff, was completely rupture d. ma From this cause also, the air vessels of the lungs are injured. A double allowance of corn then, with two double handfuls of hay-and-straw chaff in each feed, should be the stint for a Surrey hunter on the evening before hunting ; and if he is not content with this, he should be set on the muzzle fat the night. I cannot say that .1 saw many clever horses with the Surrey hounds ; but they Ire for the most part much disfigured by their saddles and bridles, whit.% are of all sorts and descemptious but the right. None but those who have paid attention to it, know how much a hunter by. a covert's aide is indebted to a good saddle and bridle for his appearance--no less so than is his rider to good boots and breeches. - Martingales, running reins, and rings or. the ?rims, shade my . bows (quite new to tr.o, not omitting some painted fronts, are conspicuous among the horses which come out of London, as are also straight-cut coats and leather breeches amongst their riders. Of the nse of brim: of this Nature, I never count satis f y myself, and martingalo are quite exploded. Tom Solidi was asked one day in Leicestershire, why he did not ride a certain horse of his in a martingale ? " Oh," said he, "my left hand shall be my martin gale." I, howqer, observed one gentleman in Surrey with two reins to his snaffle bridle—one passing through his martingale, and the otherthrough a ring. Perhaps be may have been one of " the f nes ow ime lid t ti h i :i .i n b il :t an nt h ,dr o d s w ,,o ev w nbi 2s er trni h owever, th m ese ined genrlemen be 'l e t t all l iiii i i nc i ?in th e e l r to in i g lo ." mi l sch sa ie w f but, th , e , i c l o o n id tra h r i r i y r4 they ! were very obedient to the tion li s es m pe u c s t t in b g e t i b lu e n r t i ed ders , as i n l t 14e ar sr n r o e t y h h ad un a t n , o o p f po co r u tu rse n it of witness ing my oinierva- them ; but perhaps I may be allowed to say, th a t every man _ __ • Mr. Dyke, son of Sir Thomas Dyke. who hunts the Surrey bills mast be e lured e id er , u • he log all the day upon flirt:n i l but good riding is too one, avail here.

Mr. Cochran, having a young lady for his wife, boasts new articles every year in his establishment—an alminuirk child. As lie is so fond of jumping, it should always be, year with him ; and for the sake of the breed, which should be lust, Pewee should be the star fur the night, and the sera year round in Gemini. There was another sample of the old costume in the attracted my notice and that was Mr. Percival, father nary-surgeon Percival, of the Royal Regiment of Ar has lately published a very able series of lectures on the art, which afforded me much pleasure in the perusal. There is one niember of the Slurry Hunt who deserves here, as a character which all true sportsmen must admire; that is, Mr. llobsum. A Jolliff: is known by his hal ; b at ; winter, no man can tell Mr. Hobson by his coat ; for, dim never tunas it, lie changes it as often as Harlequin in a mime; for he hunts with three packs of hounds, and wears livery" of each, never missing a day. This, however, jg rot most extraordinary part of the story. His house is situated Stamford Hill, five miles north of London, whither he ne to return every night, after hunting, over Lopidort.briete, , certain to be in Surrey again the next morning, if there ii* hunting to tie had. He is a very heavy man, and past the pr is of life, but has the character of being an excellent sportsman, tal one of long standing in thin country, having, it is s a id, b een a; th first turning of a deer before Lord Derby's hounds, twenty-men years ago. His horses lie at Croydon ; and, judging by one a two that I have seen, I may, perhaps, be allowed to say that, fa once, llobson's choice" is a good one. Mr. Hobson always comes in his carriage to Croydon, 'berth generally dines after the sport of the day, and then gets into: again, ready drem.ed fur the drawing-room. Were it not ' economy of personal exertion, he could not go through the as he never quits hounds till he either hears the aeon-hoop, the last glimmering of hope has fled. Thin may be called ble imitation of the method which the Earl of Darlington when he hunted his own hounds six days is ttse week. His ship had a change of clothes kept well aired at all the peincipa within his Hunt, to the nearest of which he always epaired his sport was over; and putting himself into a chaise and ready dressed for the evening, s small fieldpieceat the lo s ee his announced his approach to the castle, and by me umeh arrived, dinner (if ready) was upon the table.

A Mr. Dyer is also a conspicuous character in this Hunt. lis has a good stud of horses, and gives the best prices of any in it. • This Is a miserable attempt at wit, and only jto•tifiable what lam about to say.
