THE LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY Extracts from the Morning Papers, Mai 31. [Tim TIMES.] The Tithe Commutation Bill, recommend by the Irish Government, and now, under discus sion, is a measure of , the greatest magnitude. Passing over the details of the present bill, we may remark, that , any act whatever—that any attempt to stir upon the 'subject of tithe, with a view to vary, in respect of that impost, the old relation between parson and parishioner, or in any manner to qualify the power of the church, and to grant additional relief and protection to i the interests of the laity against t, opens a new and delicate ground of legislation, and goes to establish a principle incomparably more impor tant than all the clauses and provisoes by which such a measure could, in practice,be either clogged or promoted—viz., that church property is a ilubject on which Parliament may fairly exercise its powers.As to what may be the fate of the pending bill in the House of Commons, or more especially in the Lords, we have already hinted that much anxiety is felt, and, that some unfavourable con jectures are hazarded. That'its details call for a good deal of remodelling, there can be, little doubt ; the favour of the official persmis with whom it has originated being apparently so portioned between the clergyman and' tithe *payer, that the " Irish half," or, in other words, by far the larger share of it, rests on the side of the former. Mr. Park, a barrister, has written a pamphlet, in which, ns connected with the tithe question in general, he briefly discusses Mr. Qoulburtes Bill, and suggests two or three amendments which , would have the effect of placing the proposed benefits beyond the caprice or obduracy of a rapacious clergyman, if such a character there should any where be found among the members of the Irish Church. The imperfections of the Bill must soon enough dis close themselves on its passage through Parlia ment, should it not he stopped at the threshold ; but we confess it is for the principle that we are solicitous, well knowing how eagerly the bulk of the people of Ireland look to the beginning of a course of adjustment, the end of which every reasonable man must hope may prove a sensible mitigation of the evils growing out of this in cessant conflict, between the Pastor of a Pro. testant community, and another community which rejects his clahns, because it will not ac cept his services. I - MORNING CHRONICLE.] • The negociations tire entirely of English origin. Preparations have been making for them in Se- Ville ever ',inn. the Government was established here, by the acthe Ambassador whose address and dexterity in counteracting' free• principles, rind hoodwinking those •who profess „them, were pretty well established at Naples. The time is now judged favourable for the grand blow, a 0 the tone of the French, which bas lowered considerably since the commencement of the campaign, is now deemed of the proper pitch.— The Duke d' Angouleme has bad sagacity enough to discover that his auxiliaries, compos ing the Army' of the Faith, are intent rather on the means of plundering, under Bourbon pro. tection, than actuated bY" a desire to filter the political institutions of their country., From Ca. , . tawma the private reports of the Commanders are discouraging ; they find the population does not second them, and that if 'the main army ad vances, the points , of communication left in the rear will be )n a very, precarious situation. In short, the experience the French have already ac quired in Spain has taught them that, if the Con atitutionalists hold firm till the month of Sop. ternber, and the harrassing warfare of Guerillas, now preparing, developer itself, they must inevit ably be exposed , to great privations and losses. They have, therefore, deemed it prudentto accept the proposals made for fresh negocia dons before the pride and energies of Spain are reused, and on this subject Sir Charles Stewart has been labour ing hard in Paris, within the last week. These megociatioits were intended to commence as soon as the French renched Madrid, where it. is thought the Prince Generalissimo will take a little breath ; and, under the mediation of Eng. laud, it is presumed the Bourbons Will be less peremptory, and the Spaniards more condescend ing. What will be the issue of this new nego dation we are, not prepared to say ; but certainly the French are very sanguine, which is what we yesterday meant to frnply, and so are those who are ,co.operating ivith them. The great difficulty we ourselves anticipate is, that the Spaniards wiii con sider, any new overtures embracing concessions, whilst the enemy is in theircountry,as savouring of compulsion, and consequently derogatory to their natural character. Most Spaniards are sensible that the existing Constitution contains defects, and that it would be expedient to remedy them; yet all agree thut this cannot be done by intro ducing an Army of the Faith Into the country, or by , the points, of French bayonets. They see at the same time that the last Ministers had net made those preparations which might have been expected ; that the national finances are not in a thStrishing condition, and that the removal of the seat of Cioverronent from Madrid to Seville has paralyzed the efforts of Government in such a way, that a considerable portion of tine has been lost. [mulls!' imEss.) The French Papers of Wednesday, with the J'ilote of Thursday, reached us yesterday by express. They contain the intelligence of the Duke of Angouleme's arrival in Madrid. lie was preceded by the advanced guard and a bri • gode of the division of Obert. The Journal des _Mats states, that the Duke of San Carlos and the Archbishop of Tarragona, who were at Paris, were this week to set out for Spain, and that the. Ambassador to the Spanish King, the Marquis of Tilloru, was also making preparations for• his de. parture. We see no grounds for the gloomy antici. petions contained in ti n . Morning Chronicle of yes• ter day, or the dicpositons to negociation mention ed, us certain in the Globe and Traveller of last night. The Journal de roulouse already makes I Angouleme Regent of Spain. This is a Govern ment the Spanish people will never acknowledge, or with which. the Cortes never can negociate. As yet we have no certain accounts of what has be. come of Abisbal. Letters from Bayonne to the 22d of. May speak of his arrest. He is said to have been made a prisoner at Castel de Los Rios; that, he was about to be transferred to Seville ; but this intelligence has been denied by the Journal des Dads . : the truth is, we haVe few accounts of any authenticity from Spain. Fer dinand's manifesto en . the Spanish people has been distributed in immense numbers in every part of Spain ; it has circulated in thousands in all the provinces, even in those occupied by the French army. It it said to have produced the greatest effect, and rallied numbers of the ancient defenders of Spain, round her Constitutional banners. According as the French fercei neared to Madrid, their frequency; and importance were daily increasing. Longa's bands deserted him almost to a man. D'Eroles and Romngosa can not rely on their followers, and Miralles, it trp , . pears, was'killed in an action_henr Lerida. If the Spaniards negociate, it is a conclusion much opposed to their national character : if they hold out, the present French army, or five times the _ • number, cannot conquer, or hold military poil 7 session of Spain. [MORNING ri ERA t.n.] There are those who think that that redoubt able body, the Corporation of Dublin, have ob tained two triumphs in the recent Inquiry—the one over, the Irish Government, the other over the House of Commons itself. The latter is no doubt a mistake. But it must be confessed that a body invested with a lesser sanctity of privi lege than the house of Commons, would have suffered in estimation by deferring in the same manner to the inviolable scruples, and no less in violable person, of Sir Bradley King. It is great ly to be feared that the 'gallantry with which two Advocates in the one quarter, and an Al derman in the other, have recently stood the thunder of the House of Commons, unappalled and unsigned, has led the people of Edinburgh and Dublin into erroneous and insUbmissive no tions respecting the Imperial Parliament. As to the triumph over the Irish Government, it is un derstood that a sort of compromise has taken piece between the Castle (so "it appears the Irish denominate the Vice-Regal 'Court) and the Corporation. It is to be that this also is a mistake. The Marquis of Welles ley is surely not to be told, at this time of the day, that he who concedes the least to a vulgar adversary beneath him, is undone. Another opinion, inferred from the conduct, and still more from the conclusion of the inquiry, is, that the extension of the English Statute ngalnst Secret Societies, to Ireland, will he a dead letter. 'are inclined to think that, in substance, it may be so. .The mere secret swearing Will, perhaps, be discontinued ; but the associations, the spirit, the orgies, and the animosities, will continue it. It would have been easr.to suggest and tO cute, if those in power were so disposed, a more elfeelnal method of putting down rOrangeism in Ireland. Had Corporation politics .been made rather a disqualification, than a title, to political patronage and jobbing, anti had the principles. of Sir Bradley King found less favour nt the . bar of the house Com Mons, it would have'operattd with wonderful quickness in thinning the party. [MORNING POST.] French Papers to the 39th instant, and private Letters to the 296, reached us yesterday by ex , press. The latter state that M. de Vißele had caused it to be announced to the Syndic of the Stock-brokers, on the morning of the 28th, that Mina had effected his retreat to Bareelottn,and with the other Constitutional corps of Milans, and Lio bera had entered that city. The Papers do not mention this fact, but leave it to be inrerred as the natural result of the skilful marches and counter-marches by which Mina had defeated every attempt to overtake or forte him into action. The Journal de Toulouxe asserts (what has been all along, suspected) 64 that the Giandees of Spain and the ancient Cortes assembled at Madrid, were to confer the title of_ Regent of the Kingdom on the Duke of Augouleme till King, Ferdinand should, beset at liberty. This apparent limitation is precisely what is likely- to lengthen out the pro posed Regency toms indefinite period ; for if the Constitutionalists pursue with due spirit the course which they have planned, and remove the King and the Government to Cadiz, when the enemy approaches Seville (if ho should venture so.far), the pretended liberation of the King will not be more advanced than when the French still lingered on the banks of the Bidassoa. If, on t h e other band, views of ambition should induce the Government or France to retain pos session of Spain without subjecting itself to the direct charge of having reduced it hit° a pro vince, it would have nothing to do but leave a small portion of the territory in the power of the Cortes, that the alledged captivity of the King might continue, and that a • pretence for its usurpation should not fail. Notwith standing all that has hitherto been stated, the real fate of Abisbal is still involved in much mystery. It appears by all the French accounts of the occupation of Madrid, that he was no longer in command at that period, and, that the Constitutional - Army acted and retired to. wards the Province of La Mancha, under the orders of General Lagos. But what had be come of Abisbal is not mentioned. The Mote and private letters continue to assert in the-most confident manner, that he had been deprived of his command, and that General Lagos had been appointed in his place. This statement, though confirmed by the fact that a General of that {11111)0 headed the Constitutionalists in the &feat of. Bessieres and in the evacuation of the Capital, is contradicted by the Jououils des Debtas. 'rids Journal, however, adds aMI)IP grounds to justify a charge of treason against Abisbal, for it admits that he had addressed a letter to the Duke of Angouleme, 46 drawing an instructive and terrifying picture of the desperate ,state of the affairs of the Party domineering in the Cortes, and of the universal disposition of all 1 men of influence to abandon, or even to overturn an•authority, whose prolonged agony might still occasion so many unavailing calamities. The let ter of this General," (continues the Journal des Debuts) " announces that his measure was com bined with the Commanders most esteemed by the troops, such as Morillo and Ballesteros, and declares that the principal Chiefs of the army, obeying with reluctance a Ministry with out skill, and au Assembly without political weight, invited with all their wishes a better order of things, and were ready to hail as a Li. berator the noble Prince, who had no other desire than that of promptly closing the glorious part which he had assumed." If this representation of the contents of Abisbal's letter be correct, wivitever may have been his fate, it has been amply deserved, and will excite neither pity nor regret. i*ov,r s ES.] liy an Express Whiatleft Paris at a late hour on Wednesday, we learn that the last price of theltentes on that day . was 89. ; but little Of importance has transpired there. The indi vidualg who are expected to form the Regency at Madrid to, govern in King Ferdinand's name, so long as his captivity may endure, are three of the most distinguished personages in Spain ; namely, the Dukes . De San Carlos and De In fantado, and Marquis De Casa Yrujo. The Duke de San Carlos is a Grandee of Spain of the First Class, and' is descended from the an cient Kings of Leon. lie entered young into the army, in -which service he•rose gradually to the rank of Lieut.-General. In 1797 he was ap pointed Preceptor to the Prince of Asturias, now King of Spain. Since that time he ha's succes' sively filled many important posts under Charles V. such as Major Dome of the Queen's House hold, and Viceroy of Navarre. When Ferdi nand suc eeded. to the Throne, he named, the Grand Mister of the Household, the Duke de San Carlos, who afterwards followed him _to 1 Bay onne, and shared his confinement at Valencay. The Duke negociated the Treaty of 1813 with Buonaparte, in virtue of which Ferdinand. ob tained his liberty ; but which in other respects we cannot but regard as degrading to the Spanish Throne and Nation. Ile je-entered Spain with the. King, as his' Minister; and continued to exercise a powerful influence as such till the end of 181,' when he was appointed Ambassador to Vienna, • and was thence re moved -in 1817 to London in the saine ca- pacity. This Noble Man indisputably pos sesses great talents and experience in the con, duct of public affairs. His age is 52. , The, Duke de 14'Infantado is also a Grandee of the first ,e)ass, and one ofthe richest subjects in Spain.: He was educated in France, but left the country young, and raised a regiment at bis own expence in '1793 to fight against the French Republic in Catalonia. Ferdinand very early became much attached to him, and at the time .of the diStur. bailees at Aranjuez, in 1807, both the Prince and the Duke were involved in a joint impeach. meat of treason .by . 1.114- Minister Godoy. In 1808 he uccompi ll i e d . Ferdinand to 'Bayonne, and accepted office under Joseph lluonaparte,'but certainly without any' intention of adhering to that Pretender. On the contrary, 'he soon took up arms against the latter„ and was thereupon proscribed by' Napoleon. The Duke , look a Mumma; Patrfotic army, ; but, though bra've,''he possessed little military talent, and soon retired from. that profession, after having sustained two or three . defeats. In 1811 he. came on a mis.sion to London, where he was received nith all the honours due to his high rank anti approved' patriotisM. 'The Liberal party in 'the Cortex always persecuted him ; but. Ferdinand, on his restoration in 1814, nominated the Duke to the important office of President of the Council of . Castille. The Duke is distill guished by great mildness of manners and unalterable loyalty ; and has, on many trying occasions, risked not only his princely fortune, but his life, for his King and Country. Accord-. ingly, he is the most poputar man in Spain.— HIS age is about fifty. The Marquis of Casit- Yrujo is well ,known in the diplomatic world; particularly for his negociations in America, which terminated in the .cession of Florida to the United States. Afferlds return to. Spain, he was named by King Ferdinand in the• early part, of the year 1818 Secretary of State and Dispatches ; but resigned that post in the latter part - Of the same year. In 1819 he was again employed,' but shortly afterwards dismissed, and exiled to Avila, and a prosecution was even directed againSt him for the part betted in the Florida Treaty ; but this prosecution.' was soon dropped. Since 18420 lie has been persecuted as a servile by the men wholtave nothing liberal.about them, except the Complimentary title which they are pleased to giye themselves.. , There can be little doubt but that this Regency will be cheerfully obey.: ed by the greater part.of Spain so long as there may be a necessity for thou exercise.of their au thority. Howeverthis is not likely to be long. We regret to State that a body of rioters on Sunday night attacked the houses of Mr. PLON- K };TTIin Stephen's-green; of Mr. Mt u.t ti EN, in Grafton-str.; and of several other Gentlemen, all in Dublin, the windows of which they demolished. It is perhaps a singular fact that the names se lected for two boys, twins, sons of a lady in a neighbouring town, should be Tom and Jerry:— At first view, it would be imagined they were so designated after the Eganian heroes, but it was not so; they were called upon to perpetuate the names of two grandfathers, and will hereafterin all probability share the more substantial honours of their sires, as they are the joint heirs to pro perty of no inconsiderable amount.----( Brightbn Gazette.)

[Frain the Cambridge Chraniek, May 30, 1823.1 TO THE EDITOR OF Tug CAIIBRIDOE CHRONICLE. Sin—Although lam far from considering a public Journal to be the preper channel' for remarks which a Member of the Senate intends Offering to that body, yet I am compelled to avail myself of your's, in Ord& to correct some of the mis-stste meats which appeared in your list'number, upon the question, relating to the Professorship of Mineralogy. The reflections cast upon other Beads of Colleges,.,as well as upon myself, I am more particularly anxious to repel. And „I had ra ther, Sir, be charged with degrading myself, by answer ing 'such' an intemperate and unwarrantable attack, than, - . by my silence,'allow the public for an instantto conclude that the.contcnts of Professor Sedgwick's letter are not cabable of a satisfactory refutatation. With respect to the conversation alleged to have taken place between Alr. Sedgwick and the late Vice Chanal4 of,' Dr. French, it is evidently impossible for me to speak; with positive certainty ; but of this I do feel fully confident, as well from Dr. French's general character as from his conduct thronghdni the discussion of this question, that he cannot have given the Professor any just reason for drawing those inferences, as to the mode to be pursued in the election of a successor to Dr. Clarke, which Mr. Sedgwick has thought proper to detail at so con siderable a length. Besides, I have grounds for believing that Dr. French adopt• ad, in .this instance, the grace which preceded Mr. Martyn's election into the Professorship of Botany in 1733, solely be cause it was expreised in general terms, and left the mode of eleetiol fr to be settled by the Statutes of the University. I can assert, moreover, most distinctly, that I withheld,my opposi. don, upon that occasion, only because the grace did not qt. pressly determine any mode of election. I should certainly have voted against a grace, that went to deprive the Heads of Colleges Of any right, which, in my judgment, the Statutes of the University had vested in them• My opinion upon this subject (an opinion not hastily tsten up,, but founded upon patient and extensive investigation) has been long decided ; to this many members of the University can bear testimony, as I have ever publicly and unequivoCally maintained it. One particular instance, I will beg leave to mention. When, in 1320, the Report of the Observatory Syndicate was first printed, it contained the following resolution " That the two Atudstant Obseryers should be elected . . (" more burgensium") by the Senate, for,,the term of three years ; and at the end of that period to be capable of being re elected; and that the persons eligible should be graduates of the Unixeraity. l ! To this resolution I declared, at the time, my decided op position'. To the Bishop of Bristol, Dr: Kaye, in partitular, a member of the Observatory Syndicate; 1. remember to have ex pressed, more thadonce, my aenttments, and he was well aware that if the words'" more burgensium" were retained in th e re. solution,. I, as a member of the Caput, Should feel it my duty, to p revent l r i n te m ad ti o o p n tion havi ef ng the Report by the Senate. Phis waitediupod n to. i s n o e m to e of asc the other members of the Syndica be te e , n try l taill ray determination. I then stated to the gentlemen, who did me this honour, that I. certainly should excereise the au thority vested in me, as a Member of the Caput, by the Sta tute*, in support of those rights, which, as I conscientiously believed, the same Statutes had, given to , the Heads of. Co lleges ; and I referred them to the Statute (c. 40) of Elizabeth, which has of late been so frequently the Subject of discussion. I contend that no election into any new office in the Univer sityain oti,i e xpr e sse d e l eiw i(afen, consequence eto t nns, phi s e lteie sf yi uotemi didup, a ,og t ttlr i ehcha n see rnt g e do)toy t ot, w akeie e l sea s sac, Members e ie anibta o l hetinf:oa:tpProfessorshipabi,ilocesn:dne:aN Se n ate .eapinrf ag ainstevdiotuyoioofauset h eiwhereent the ew?ea, s _opinions pri vateu nominationr t m ode f olu it g • • e form in which it passed, the Senate : "That the two Assistant'Observers shall be elected for the term of three years; at the end of that time.to be capable of being re-elected ; aind that the persons eligible shall be gra duate* of the University." And whenever Assistant Observers are elected, in virtue of this resolution, it can only be after a previous nomination by the Heads. The foregoing reference to the proceedings of 1820, suffi ciently establishes my assertion ; and I shall only observe, that it also shews, what Pk.ofessor Sedgwick seems disposed altoge ther to suppress, that the chum of nomination is not a new claim. To proceed then—l venture further to assert, resting my as sertion upon the expressed opinions of many of the Heads of Colleges and not upon unju s t inferences drawn from their silence, 'that had the grace for contimfing the Professorship 'of Mineralogy contained the words " more laargensium," it would have been, opposed by others, as well as by myself. If this be true, their construction of the words of the grace must have accorded with my own. And this is a fact which will be tonna, upon inquiry, not to rest solely upon my asser tion. It may be established at once by an appeal to what oc cutTed at the period of the election. No eitiner bid it been.represented to the Vice-Chancellor, that many Members of the Senate had voted for the grace for continuing the Professorship of Mineralogy, under the in... pression that the election would proceed without a previous nomination of two candidates by the Heads, than the Vice-Chancellor determined to propose another grace for rescinding the former. When the Vice-Chancellor subse quently communicated this to the Heads of Colleges assembled, at his lodge ? they unanimously expressed their satisf ac ti on at the step which he proposed to take ; .811 being anxio u s • to remove the alleged ground of proposed front the minds of the Mem bers of the Senate. The public will scarcely believe, that this se c ond grace was rejected - by a considerable.majority, consisting. mainly of those very persons who an now the promoters of .the application to the Court of King's Bench. I believe "I may safely assert, that Mr, Sedgwick was amongst the number. The reason publicly, assigned by these gentlemen for voting Ugatint the second grace was this ; that if the former grace were rescinded, those.Dlem hers of the Caput, who were Heads of Collegei, and the Pro feSsor.of Law, whose opinion upo n this subject has always been i in accordance with th a t of the eads, would not permit a grace, expressly authorising an election " more burgensium," to pass. This apprehentdon would have been perfectly groundless, if all the 11Itmbers of' the Caput had consented to the origi nal grace fot continuing the Professorship of Mineralogy, upon a clear understanding that an election "More burgensium" must follbw. Thus the assertion to which Mr. Sedgwiek has particularly called the public attention, by arraying it in a formidable capi tal, FALLS TO THE GJI.OUND. In another part of his letter, Professor Sedgivick tauntte th e lisds of Colleges with having taken erroneous views of the case now pending, and triumphantly refers to an observation of the . Court of -King's Bench, that they could not be the inter preters of the Statutes, where their own interests were so im mediately concerned. The Professor's remark would have been entitled to,some weight, had an interpretation been made in this case. But what.was: the fact? The Heads met to con sider the question,—they concurred in asserting the right to nomination—but still, front a feeling of delicacy, would not proceed to a formal interpretation. These are the only obserVations which I feel myself called upon to make in vindication of my own character, and that of the other :Heads of Colleges. . . Upon the merits of the case I forbear to enter. They have been argued with the greatest ability in that Court to which the question at issue has been referred, and the judgment of th e Court is not yet declared. Forthat judgment I wait in respectful itilenCe. But at the same time Ido not hesitate to say, that were this a proper occasion, I feel myself prepared to. shew, that most of I 3 refessor Sedgwick's statements are incorrect, and the inferences which he has drawn front them unsound. - In conclusion, Mr. Setigwick will allow me to add, that, little as he seems satisfied with the prospect immediately before him, he was amongst the first to resort to a Court of L a w f or decision of this _question. He now, indeed, takes his stand up on the equity, of the case, and, I should not he surprised if he were ultimately driven to maintain, what it may be expedient for the present to keep in the back. ground,—the policy and advantage of that particular Mode of election i which he is evidently an x i ous to , establish.. rahould not be afraid of being able to convince the public, that Mr. Setigwick's view of the question is, in Nit') tfiese points, equally erroneous - . am, erroneous, •.

Mr. SUGDEN, on behalf of the defendants, moved to dissolve an injunction granted by the Vice-Chancellor to stay certain proceedings in ejectment instituted by them under these cir cumstances :—The late Mr. Bonner, father to the defendants, at his death devised his property to his son, with a proviso that if he went to America tie rents and profits should go to his sisters while he-resided there. The son, while in England, granted annuities to the plaintiffs, but subsequently went to America, where he is at- present ; and the defendants, his sis ter:, claiming under the testator's will, served ejectments upon the annuitants, to stay the proceedings in which theinjunction now sought to be dissolved had been obtained. After hearing Counsel on toth sides, The LORD Ci NCELI.ost observed, that he wished, if pos sible, these parties could be, taken out of Chancery. He re membered when he was a bdy at school, the great grandfather of the defendants was in Chancery, and in Chancery the family had continued ever since, in- one way-or another. 'He hoped the present suit would not, like that to which he had alluded, 'end in the ruin of the • parties, but they seemed in'a fair way for it. - lie thought the matter might be more easily and speedily settled by a reference to . the Master t than by proceeding m 'ejectment; but his Lordship declined to make any Positive order in the, case until to-morrow. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, MAT 30. THE KIXO V. TWO JUSTICES OF SUFFOLK. Mr. JESIOP moved fora rule, calling on the Chairman of the Quarter Sessions for Suffolk, and another Magistrate of the same county, .to show why a criminal Information should not be exhibited against them. The conduct which he charged us corrupt consisted in an interference to preVent the execution of warrant against a man brought before their on a charge of feloniously stealing certain i m pl emen t s o f husbandry. They granted the warrant, but said it would be time enough to place it in the officer's hands a few days before the sessions ; and the alleged ground of this partiality was, that the party ac cused was the servant of the Chairman of ,the sessions. The 'Cowl T thought there. was no case established which could authorize them to interfere. It did not appear that the defendant.was likely to abscond, and probably the Magistrates saw something in the prosecutor's conduct which led them to suppose he had delayed making-the charge till.the last sessions were over, for purposes of oppression. They therefore refused the rule. TILE XING V. O'MEARA. This case stood for this day in the peremptory paper. It was (ailed on at a late hour, when the Court declined entering into it. Mr. C.

The COURT, however, thought this course inconvenient, and directed that it should keep its place in the paper, so that it is uncertain on what day it will be heard. THE ICING V. WYTCOMBE.
