For the purpose of cleating a sufficient space of ground to form in line, a great number of men have been employed for some d.lys cutting down and clearing away the understood and busht.s, as well as levelling the inequalities of the ground at the fifteen acres, and adjoining to them in the Phenix Park, preparatory to the/rand review and sham battle of the Regulars and Yeomanry on Monday next, in honour of the birth-day of our most gracious So vereign.—lt is expetied this review will be the grandest military speaacic ever witnessed in the vicinity of Dublin.

Mr. WOOD moved for a writ of Mentwow, to be direeted to the guardians, under a private AR of Parliament, pas6 - c! in the year 1792, for estafilishing a fund for the relief and support of the Widows and Children of the Skippers and Keeknen, on the River Ware, ordering them to assemble and execute the powers of the said AR. Forty-one persons had originally been appointed to carry the provisions of this Aft into execution ; they had some meetings, at which officers were appointed, and a sum of 5091. collet ed as a fund. Upwards of:twelve years had now eLpsed ; and though sever :al appli:ations lisd been made to procure a meeting of the guar dians, it could never be effected ; there was a Loge sum of motley due to the Solicitor, who had pre pared the Ad, &c and by which Al it was pro vidzd, that he should be kid Lis costs out of the first funds which should be raised. Mr. Wood observed that part of his motion was to have the Solicitor paid out of that fund which now remains. The Court granted a Rule to shew cause; and in the mean time, directed that a particular application should be mask to the wrviving guardians, 1 1 .9 in number, requiting them to assemble Ind execute the provisions of the a& MILLS o. executoes or amts. Mr. Eitsetat moved to set aside the nonsuit ob tained is this cadie. In the year free, the deceased was indebted to his mother the Plaintiff in 7001 end wishing that the Plaintiff, who was an old mariner, should live at home, he was desirous of paying this sum by way of an annuity during life of 841. for IA hich purpose a deed was executed in the above, and the annuity continued to be paid till the year 1792. The deed not having been register ed in due time, according to the Aft of Parliament, the deceased thought fit to take advantage of this Ad, and refused nay farther payment. An affirm WAS then brought by the present Piaintiff against the deceased upon the annuity bond, to which he pleaded the annuity ad, and the Plaintiff there upon could not proceed. The present action was then brought as for money Lad and received to the Defendant's use, to which be pleaded the usual plea, and the statute of limitation. Issue was then taken. He then pleaded a set-off, and the Piaintiff, to prevent his setting off the sem% he had paid, replied the statute of limitation to the plea of setoff, and thereupon issue wits joined. On the last trial, his Lordship (Lord F.t.oxsporiotroa) was of opinion that the plea of set off was not a good plea ; but the Learned Counsel trusted the Court would do every thing in their power to carry this unfor tunate Plaintiff out of the Annuity Adt. If the Defendant had made any declaration tantamount to an acknowledgment of the debt within six years of the time the anion was brought, it would take it out of the statute of limitations, which, by his plea of the Annuity AEI, the Defendant had done; be contended that the Defendant's plea of the stawte of limitations could not be sustained, but the Plain tiff's could. The Court observed that the Plaintiff had re ceived more payisents from the Defendant than were sufficient to extinjuish the whole of the coosi.leta tion money, and - the compound interest. There was no ground for setting Aside the Don-suit :if there was an acknowledgment of the debt, it had long since been discharged. Nicuocsott AND mtorore O. MXIILLAN anorisc Mr. Gaanow moved to set aside the verdiet ob tained for the Plaintiff. We reported this trial at full length on Wednesday. The anion was brcught to recover the sum of SBl. being the value of twenty dozen of silk gloves, whkh were delivered to the clerk of the Defendants at their Coach Office in Nottingham, to be sent specially from thence by the Leed's Mail Coach (of which the Defendants were the proprietors ) to London. The parcel was nut sent by the Mail Coach, as direfted, but by the Tripe Briton, a long Coach, 'also belonging to the De fendanthand it was thereby lost. The Jury found that the parcel was spec:ally de livered to go by the Mail Coach, and further found a Verdi& of 3di. for the Plaintiff. A notice had been posted up at the Coach Office, whereby the Defendants had notified to the public, that they would not be accountable to passengers for any parcels, goods, money, &c. beyond the value of 31. unless smeared, and demanded within one month after such loss should take place. Mr. Oa aow therefore contended, that by this notice, the Defendants were not liable for more than 51. if they were even liable for that sum ; and as it appeared, from the evidence of the Clerk, upon the trial, who swore, that he was not authorised to take in goods to be tarried in any particular Coach ; he contended further that the Plaintiffs were not entitled to recover any sum whatever against the Defendants. The Court ranted a Rule to thew cause, and ordered that the original notice should be produced, upon the hearing. iTIOULt V. DYSON:. This was an action on the warranty of a horse. His Grace the Duke of Cumt taind on the part of the Plaintiff', a Lieutenant the sth Dragoons, had contracted with the Defendant for the pur chase of the horse in question, at a sum of 70 guineas. "the Defendant sent his servant far pay. meat of the fr:rse, and in the receipt for the price, he warranted him to be delivered sound at the stables cf the Plaintiff. the Plaintiff refused to pay the monc7, till he should insert the words "to the regiment" in place cf " at the stables," which the servant accordingly did. A fey, days after the horse had arrived at the regiment he died, and from the evidence of a veterinary surgeon it ap. peued, that he had contracted a fever, of which he died, and that he might have contraaed it a few hours previous to his arrival at the bed-quarters. It was also proved, that the horse was periedly mound at the tune of delivering him at the Plain tiff's stahies in town.—A A'erdidt was found for the Plaintiff. A Rule to show cause against it was obta•ned ; and Mr. Pot ttsa was this day heard in support of the Verclia. The questinn for the Court was, whether a ser vant had a ngtt co change the v.argatay of his masurr! . _ Mr. Janke LAWREXCZ observed, that and ii Verdia against evidence, a nd a g a i nst law', offset to be set aside. Lord E L LEN noitouon said it had been laid down that if a man is a general agent for an/e.te, tha principal is bound ; but if he is only agent for a spa• cial meter he shall go no further. The ituie was made absolute. COMMON PLEAS. SHLItM•N D. CII.IICHLEY. The Plaintiff, who is an engine -maker in Castle. street, Finsbury-square, brought his action against the Ds'fendant, the mistress of the Greyhound Tit• vein, at Gloucester, to recover thirty-three pounds for a machine which pumped beer out of the cellar into the bar. It appeared, that in November last Mr. Sherman was at Gloucester, where he per suaded the defendant to buy the engine in question, upon condition that she should hay: it three mouths on trial, at the end of which time she was at liberty to send it lack, if not approved of. It was ac cordingly sent down and fixed in the bar; but the day following it was discovered to leak, and men so di,., !.reeable a noise in working, that the cus tomers , s nuld not stay in the house; in other Tw spects it was considered unfit for the Defendant% pur, and the Piaintiff was requested to fetch it awn he had agreed to nn notice being, bow ever, taken, the Defendant s ent it t o L on d on , w he re the Plaintiff refused to take it. In support of the case several workesea we,• called to prsoe the engine bad been soundly made; end a permit named Birt deposed, that it worked well when first put up. On the part of the defence, Mr. Parker. a coal-merchant at Gloucester, stated the wboli transaction, wherein the Plaintiff had bargained to take the engine back, if disapproved of. Several other witnesses corroborated Mr. Parker's evidence, and the Jury being clearly of opinion the original contract had been broken, the Plaintiff was non. suited. LANGDOW v. SAIMAA°. The Plaintiff was formerly the keeper of Imola Coff.e-houst, and brought the present * sore. corer of the Defendant 301. for expenres WAIMEA in the coffix-soom. while he and Serena others rep mained in the house in possession of the seceht.* wbich were about to be taken hi mention. The Defrndant pleaded a set-off„ and aforr a long knee. tigation of evidence, the parties consented to with. draw a Juror.
