The motion was than refused, after con eiderable argume n t. C eunse l were f ully heard to-day on both sides, and various affidavits were read. In the result, his .Lordship refused the motion as to three of the parties, and re. served the question with respect. to Mr. Guest, as to whom "rne Partieu.4nicautuatances were applicable. .sir RE ent...e.nrohnlr PAGE• TVRNEA. • The petition presented in this lunacy was on the part of Mr. COrbet, solicitor, paying .to•have access to Sir ta. P. Turner, now-confined for debt in the Marshalsea prison. The Loan Cstzrcri.x.ox thought he had no jurisdiction to act, the lunatic being in the Mashalsea prinon. He had been more harassed and perplexed by this case than by any he ever recollected, and the difficulties which presented themselves were almost insurmountable. The application now . was by a Solicitor to hare access to Sir 0. P: Turner. It was well known that solicitors after Solicitors had had access to him, and all of them had declined to traverse the inquisition. It was not in the power of the Court to corn* any man to tra verse the inquisition, or to take any step knit, and the parties were all, placed in the most distressing situation. Ile believed that a Bill would be brought into Parliament this Session to .remedy the inconvenience. In the mean time, however, it was not is . his power to act. He would, however, candidly ac knoWledge, that if the leave of the Court. were required to Sir G. P. Turner to traverse, it would undoubtedly be refused. ---.~--. SECO:' , IDARIEsi OFFICE, 31AF 14. CORNWALL MINFS. • MALL, e. vlv ZAN AK D OTH'XaS. At half-past twelve o'clock this day an inquisition was taken in this cau s e, before the Under-Sheriff and a Special Jury, fur the purpose of ascertaining the amount of damages sueitained by theplaintiff, in consequence of his mining property in Corn wall having been seized, withheld from him, and partly sold, under' process which beetled-Dot of the Court of Srannary, in that county, of which the defendant was tht Vice-Warden. Jadg , meat was suffered to pass by default. The damages were laid at 20,060/. CUttnsel for the plaintiff—Mr. BROUGHAM, Mr. T/NDALL, and Mr. ABRAHAM ; for the defendant—the COMmoN SEA- C. AZTS and Mr., P ARKE. Mr. AWReeseet opened the pleadings. • Mr. Bit° oattam stated the case. The plaintiff, Mr. Hap, was as be said; a gentleman of great celebrity in mining pursuits previous to the month of April, 1822,.when. the transaction arose which led to this inquiry. He belonged originally not to Corn. wall, but to Northumberland, which the Jury would hereafter find wes a material ingredient it this case. The principal de fendant was also a gentleman of great celebrity, and the father of Sir Hussey Vivian. He was the Vice-Warden of what was called the Court of Stannaries, the Warden of which was the Marquis Hertford. This Court of Stannuries was one of those Courts of ancient jurisdiction which proceeded by rules of their , own—rules unknown, indeed diametrically opposite to those of the Courts of Common Lew, with which the public at large were fortunately more familiar. Lucky - would it be, if those persons who l oo k e d w i t h so much dissatisfaction at the ancient loins of trial by jury, and who were so alive to the possible mistakes of jurors, would just turn their eyes to these Courts Of local jurisdiction, which were exempt from the public eye, and taste a little of' the bliss they were so calculated to admi nisier. • Such a contrast would, he had no doubt, remove much of the prejudice in certain high quarters, touching the pos .sitle 'Wore of juries. The jurisdiction of thi s . Vice-Warden was over all etannitries or. questions . arising ou t of them-- that was, in plain English, over the concerns of all tin mines (Stannery was a Latin word meaning Tinnery). Now this, power did not apply to other 'metals yr minerals, be sides tin ; it did not effect Black Jack—(a laugh)—which was partly copper, and by name vulgarly applied to the Neble Warden in this county, just as Copper Jack was to his: lice-Warden. Black Jack had zinc in it, and necessarily some copper, but no tin. Copper had, however, of late much super. ceded and diminished the use of tin working in these mines; but, nevertheless, the Stannary Court contended for a right over the copper mining as well as the tin. The process of this.COurt wee very peculiar—first went forth a risen, who said. the Proprietor of the mine owed him LI.; then oat was issued a summons for the party to appear is Court ; this Was followed by an attachment, and then came a decree, which nailed up the mining property till the Ceurt thoughtproper to decree its sale; and every body acquainted .with such summary processes of sale, must know that the produce was uniformly not the most, but the leasi, which an article could fetch under every possible disadvantage. But this was not all; the process comprehended not only the debt of the particular iodividual who sued out the prociess, but all others generally to whom the party wits or might be indebted. So that it far exceeded, in the sweep of its . jurisdiction, the sphere of the Court of Parliament, the High Court of Chancery (as it was called), and all the other Courts known in and about Westminster Hall. But odd enough was all this, when it was his duty to tell the Jury, that there was not a shadow of foundation for the assumed jurisdiction of this Court, in the manner in which it had been. acted on, They had no jurisdiction over copper -works ; the whole thing was admitted by the defendant himself to be a trespass, by his suffering judgment to go by de fault.. Two years ago he contended he was right, bitten) coming to town; and consulting the Common Serjeant and Mr. Scarlett, they laughed at his assumed jurisdiction ; they told him--" 0, you must keep this law of yours to the Stannaries ; it won't do in town. We lawyers have had no such law since the timaof Noah, and we are not instructed before the flood."—(el laugh.) —They then rationally advised the Vice Warden to revoke his plea, and throw himself on the mercy of a Jury, in the Sheriff's Court. There was one very peculiar beauty in the construction of this Cornish Court. They had been already told who were the • Warden and Vice-Warden, but the Secretary was an attorney of the name of Edwards, who' was also a respectable man, and who indeed acted as the judge, the assessor, The ex pounder of the law for die Stannuries. Mr. Vie:an, the Vice ‘Varden, w as a very respectable country gentleman; but no lawyer, nor could anybody expect -him to know more of law than the lead did. Of that lead he was an excellent judge, for by it he made his gold; but law had lie none. The Court, however,' adjudicated upon matters of law; hut how did it proceed ? Why, Mr. Edwards ' the attorney, nodded his head arid. said, << this is the law." Well, Mr. Vivian nodded his head in assenting respouse, and forth came the injunction, the decree, the order of sale,. and all the other machinery for the speedy conversion of property. The constitution of the Court was first odd ; the jurisdiction of it assumed odd ; but then the drollest thing of all remained to be told, which was, that Mr. Edwards practised professionally s in this Court, and had the heavy duty imposed on hi m o f taxing his own costs.—(a laugh), --and why not? lie best knew the value of his own labours, and the rate at which he thought they o ug h t to b e est i ma t e d. And tide open e d a famous, field of action in a Court In which the party suing out process not only acted for himself, but tor the whole world at larg e . _The spa tans plaintiff could sue for the Crown, but . the Staunary . man distanced him hol low in the compendious spher e of his operation. So much for the Court--now as to themalice of thparties who had injured the plaintiff. There was fo long thne is why y co u rnew e l.ai r l e i seizing& prejudice its the county of Cornwall r too —riot Trenchmen, whom their ancestors calle a cri i'ist ' fQrel' l c su r t they designated as foreigner* all person born out -of their wurssors; county, so that to the Cornish man the Sornersetshir e man was a foreignsr. Suppose the men of Northumb ' (of whom were to , catch it ha Co ve r e r r irst k Lniner near the plaintiff waa one) that \ve 1 - their works, and, say to him, " N ow we North, we shall speedily dispose of you ;' . and exemplif say, " How can yon ? it is we, not you,i would,tat hi Stan nary.' Northumberland might reply,. noce factt:tur Stannery for Overwhelming man; by pitching him head foremost closet' one ofeheir jag the s admitted that to aupposd such- err act would be more m i ta bu; not less illegal, than the plan -of ruin undet cover of assumed law, which was Acted upon by the-Corntsh th en in this 'pr ess' of ther Stannary. .The Learned llentienerm then re64ied tn °c particulare of Ate plaintiff-'s•• ease . aPPeared that in Apt 822, Mr. Hall was processed for two debts by persoi h - -111 Heath and Robing, of thirtysthree pounds and twllent‘ fi ed se: pounds- encli ; for these. detwassexecution was eventualtve-hi-UL po his property, theugh elong protested against the jueiSdicticn of the Court of Stannarisa his mines ~Pre locked up, his mills stnpped, . . his w ()Ike - In:aken down, e.tic% injured, and • sold for little-Or nothiiii;,elakough• .there was enough to have sold for a much larger still:l.omi the claim leftuntauched.

DoctiMentao .evidence . .was first /Siln, containing u series ornillniasiong of t!`k - nil : ties in the cause, relating to the duties of issuing the processes, the Raines and authorities under which they passed, &c. Several witnesses then proved the execution and sale of the Dods ; the protest against both, and a counter-protest made by the auctioneer, as well as the nature of the mining machinery seized, amil the prices paid for it. William Knight was clerk to the plaintiffs at the time of the sale. He beard one of the defendants say that the mine was a good one, and if he had money enough' to work it- he could make enough by it to ride in his carriage. Several persons had debts due to them from the mine. The mine stopped working after the lit ofMay, in consequence of the. injunction. • Pencrease, agent to the plaintiff, stated that the mine,. if profitably conducted, would produce a clear profit of 6901. per, mouth, by employing 120 men. Mr. Chilcock, a solicitor of Cornwall, stated, that it was the, practice of the Vice-Warden's Court to grant injunctions, and order the sale of refining methinery and stock for the payment of debts. This was the plaintiff's case. Mr. •DEMMAN addressed the Jury for the defendants. It was a case which required that compensation should be made to the plaintiff for the loss he had sustained; but he had not proved that he had sustained any loss by not . working a mine which might have entailed on him a heavy loss. Mr. Hall re presented himself by his' Counsel as a'man of Wealth ; why did he not pay his mason and his blacksmith, which would have prevented all the present proceedings ? Mr. Hall purchased the mine in 1820, and in 1022 he was beginning to work it with 14 men, not one of whom was called to prove what sort of ore he got, or whether the mine was likely to prove a profit or a loss. If there was any profit, the books of the party would be produced. The witness Pencrease, in the warmth of his ima gination, stated the profit that might be made at six hundred anti ninety pounds a month, but he was obliged to ad mit that -nothing had been made, nor was there any evidence that he could have worked -the mine to any advantage during the time the plaintiff was in possession. It was the establishedcus torn in Cornwall to sell the materials of mines for the payment of debts incurred in- working them ; and the defendants had no notion that they were exceeding the law when they made the sale. They only wished to receive payment of their debt, and had Mr. Hall paid them, the proceedings would have been in stantly stopped. He laMented that the plea of justification had been withdrawn fMIII the record; as he conceived it could be well supported by the custom and the - facts. At all events, nothing was more necessary to get rid of - all the inconvenience, but that Mr. flail should pay his debts. - Two days betbre the sale, indeed, he offered to pay the two creditors who had commenced the proceedings ; but then it impossible to restore.him the property, unless he paid all who had then proved debts against the mine. The action was an experiment on the credulity of tile Jury, iu the expectation that a greater profit Might be made of the mine in that room, than even could be made of it in Cornwall. The 1711DXR SHERIFF charged the Jury, that as there was no evidence of any malicious intention on the part of the de: fendants, they were only called on to remunerate the plaintiff fur theactitil loss be had sustained. The Jury retired for a short time, and returned a verdict--; Damages, NINE HeSIMIXD POrNDE. SCHOOL OF ARTS. • Friday evening the fourth winter course of in. struction was closed in this institution. The concluding lecture seas on the important subject of the steam-engine, and was de livered by Mr. LEES, who deseribed, by a variety of drawings, the earlier stages of its invention, and a beautiful model of the improved engine of Watt was set to work in the room. At the close rof the lecture Mr. Lees delivered to the students the badges of merit, which, he Said, had been adjudged to them from that consideration alone. The first medal in the junior mathematical class w a s awar d e d to Gilbert Smith. The se cond (which was given by Mr. Wilson, the former lecturer), to Alexander Brown, joiner. —In the senior mathematical class, the - first medal was adjudged to John Hastie, mason ; the se cond. given by Mr. Wilson, to William Shedder), iron-turner. Mr. Lees took a short retrospect of the past Session. In allusion to their mathematical studies, which he considered by far the most valuable to thtm, he said, he had only conducted them by such gradual steps as were coasistent with a thorough un derstanding of the subject. The Session was, however, too limited for acquiring the more useful branches of the mathe matics, and, should he continue to fill the situation of lecturer, it was his intention to have a separate class for more advanced pupils, by which means he wouM be enabled to communicate such a knowledge of the science as they could carry with ad vantage into their respective trades. In conclusion Mr. Lees paid, the intercourse he had with them had been of such a gra tifying descriptien, that he would always feel most'willing to forward the views of the mechanics of Edinburgh. The address was received with long c on ti nue d cheering. In the course of the Session, now finished, when the Rev. A. Wilson was about to leave the institution, a subscription was commenced, with a view to give that gentleman some mark of the sense. the students entertained of his valuable Cer vices.. An elegant time-piece, (which cost 201), was considered the-most appropriate ; accordingly, it was p resented ,bearing the following ins cr ip t i on To the Reverend A rfnitmw Witsox, A.M.

The only flatter of public interest which came before them was ari great want of an established provision for .minist..za of the Church of Sczland, to the population of the British colonies.
