This was an appeal frrom a decree of the Vice-Chancellor.— The father of the plaintiff possessed certain lands in the parish of Sbeepshead, in the county of Leicester,.and also the rectory of Sheepshead...l)n the enclosure of Chariwood Chase, or Forest, an alotment of the land was made to him in consideration of his right of tithe as lay impropriator. Of this land the plaintiff considered himself as being fully seized. His right, however, was disputed by the defendant, who had purchased the lands belonging to the rectory from the father of the plaintiff, and the question turned ultimately on the due construction of the words, " aild all other hereditaments," contained in the conveyance, and coming after the specification of: the property sold. The cause being brought before the Vice-Chancellor, he directed an issue to be tried, whether it was the intention of the vendor, in the wordi before mentioned, that the tithes of the rectory should pass with the lands. The defendant objected, and brought it before his 'Lordship in the way of appeal. The Loan CHANCELLOR, after repeated hearings, in which he remarked on the precipitancy of sending the main point in question to an .issue in the Courts below before any evidence had been heard in the cause, and after explaining the difficulty which the Court had in altering the force and effect of instru ments of sale many years after all the parties assisting in them were gone to their graves, declared his opinion that there was no ground for maintaining the bill. It was accordingly dismis sed; but as he was overturning the decree of another Judge, he would not give any costs.

T HE STORY of OUR FIRST PARENTS , :,) in tine connected Narrative, selected from MILTON'S PARADISE LOST, for the Use of Young Persons. • By Mrs. S IDDON S. . . This immortal Poem is seldom appreciated hy.the Young; and its perusal is, perhaps, very generally regarded rather as a duty than a pleasure. This has been' attributed by Dr. Johnson, to the want of human interest. In those passages, therefore, which I selected for our evening readings, my pur pose was to obviate this objection, by bringing before my fa mily, in uninterrupted connexion, those parts whichseelateto the fate of our First Parents ; and by omitting everything. however exquisite in its kind, which did not, immediately bear upon their affecting and important story. Such Was the origin of the present Volume:. Some friends lately suggested to me, that the Abstract, which bad been found interesting and instimctiee4o my own Childien,yriight not he wholly Un profitable to•those of others ; and; in that hope, t hare,been persuaded to the present publication.—(Preface.)

The following Drama is taken entirely from Kruitzner, Tale, by Miss Lee. When I was young'(about 14, I think), I first read this Tale, which made a deep impression upOn me and may, indeed, be said to contain the germ of much that I have since written. have generally found, that those swho had read this Tale agreed with me in their estimate of the singular power of mind and conception which it developer. Among those whose opinions agreed with mine upon this story, I could mention some very high names; but it is not necessary, nor indeed of any use, for every one must judge according to.their own feelings. I merely refer the reader t• the original story, that he may. see to • hat extent I have bor rowed froM it ; and am not unwilling that he shOuld find much greater pleasure in perusing it than the Drama,' which is founded Upon its contents.—(Lord BYRON'S Preface to Werner.)

BIGNOLD. „ . This was an indictment against Mr. Bignold, - late Se cretary to the Norwich Union insurance.Companf,forperjury. On a Fortier day, Mr. Scanii:TT,: on behalf of the prose cution, moved to postpone the trial on account of the absence of a material witness named John Hunter, alleged to be in France, on an affidavit expressing a belief that he was induced to absent himself in order to avoid giving evidence against the defend .ant, and suggesting that he did so from a corrupt expectation of reward. Time caving been given to Mr. Bignold to answer this affidavit, Mr- SoLicyrou-GENERAL, for Mr. Bignold, now pro duced the affidavit of that Gentleman, denying that he, or any person under.his sanction, had either given or promised any re ward to trunter for abstaining from giving evidence ; expressing his belief that Hunter woultl - prove on cross-examination to be a material witness for his defence; stating that Punter was in debted to him on a judgmentitalleisAini of 1504,- and declaring that he was most anxious to expedite the trial. SCARLETT,. in reply, adverted to a letter which had been received from Hunter, containing these expressions,-" I am anxious-to hear when the trial of Bignold will chine to, when. I will come over. I liopo I. have strength of mind enough to Ire sist„,---you know what. "l'he Learned Counsel contended that this evidently implied an expectation of an' offer, and . that it was not improbable the writer might wait to. see if such offer would be made. The LORD CHIEF 'JUSTICE directed that the" Case should stand over, so, as to give time for.the arrival of , the witness in London. -- THE XING v. BAXTER. This was also an indictment for perittry. The prosecutor did not appear to support it, and the defendant was of course ac quitted. ASSAULT.-DUKES J. SCALES. Mr. SCAILLETT openell this case to the Jury. rt was an action to recover compensation for a violent assault. The plaintiff' occupied a house and garden at Bow, near Stratford. The defendant, who was a butcher, occupied the adjoining premises ; and he trusted the issue of this cause would teach him, that he was not with impunity to extend his professional habits from quadrupeds to his fellow -creatures; for, however justifiable it might he to •knock down an ox, human beings .- were not to be treated in the same way. The facts of the case were these :—On the 2tith of June, the plaintiff being from home, one of his sons was amusing himself in sending a - i)g into a pond at the bottom of the garden, .which adjoined the garden of the defendant: the defendant upon' this came ttp, and with a pitchfork knocked off the dog's under lip. When the plaintiff returned, he was informed of what had occurred, and, very naturally, expressed his indignation:at such - citielty ; but this produced no other result than a brutal attack on him self, by which he was knocked down, and, as he lay on the. ground, was ferociously beaten with a blndgeori. For this wanton injury he now sought recompense. • • Mr. GURNEY, for the defendant, admitted that a verdict. must go against his client ; but he trusted' the Jury would agree with him in thinking that the damages ought to be of the most. - trifling description. The truth was, that the - dog to which.allu sion had been made, was a fierce and 'powerful'animal, and Was. 'in the constant habit of worrying the defendant's pOtiltry; • and' was thus enraged on the day in question. Indeperidenf of this, the plaintiff himself was in the practice of shooting the defend. ant's ducks and fowls, and had actually killed thirty•-fire; after which he had summoned the defendant to . the Court- of Re quests for the • injury which he had sustained. In the present instance, the plaintiff' had threatened to thrash the•defendant ; and, in consequence, he went into his garden to see. if he would put this threat in execution. He afterwards retired ; and as hii. son was also retiring, the plaintiff struck him with a willow- . stick several times across the arm ; and it was this provocation which led to the violence complained of. After this he thought the plaintiff was as unjust in bringing this action into Court, as he was in summoning the defendant to the Court of Re quests, to pay for the injury his fowls had done, after the fowls had been killed. Mr. SCART.ETT in reply said, that his friend did not deny that his client was entitled to a verdict, but had desirecno,cut down the damages to a slight sum. Now, in answer to this, he had only to pray in aid the pieces of spud which had been •produced, and which, when used by a powerful butcher, suffi ciently shewed the ferocity of the attack; and he trusted the verdict of the Jury would teach him to refrain from similar at tacks in future. The Jury would - also take and keep in their minds the (cruelty of the attack upon the dog, which was suffi. cient to excite the indignation of any humane man. • The CHIEF JUST ICE having summed up the evidence, The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 101.; costs, 40s. 911EP}Ir.RSON This was an action of trespass, brought by a widow against her landlord, for taking away the door of her room in September last, and leaving her and six children to shelter themselves by putting up a blanket, from the air. The room was held at a weekly rent, and the defendant, having refused to wait even a few minutes till the plaintiff could give it him, proceeded to the measure which was the ground of action. The defendant appeared in person, but declined addressing the - Jury. lie called witnesses to prove that his tenants had been abusive, but did not show a legal justification of his pro - ceedings. The Jury found a verdict for ih(;plaintiff'Dtunages, 107. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, DEC. 14. SHERLOCK V. CLAGGETT. Mr. Sergeant LEsts stated this case to the Jury., It 'wag. an action against the underwriters of a policy of insurance to re cover 4(101., the amount insured on a Duch ship, the William Nelson, bound from Holland to Liverpool. The.facts as stated by the Learned Sergeant were in substance, that in the month of March last (we believe) the •William Nelson'Sailed ''- from the Texel on her voyage to Liverpool. In consequence heavy gales she was unable to clear the road; and thbugh every effort was made to prevent it, she stranded early in April, in a shallow part'of the roads called the North Wall. ' There she in a short time-gor • embedded in the sand. _The Captain used every exertion by floating casks, Zee., to get her afloat again, but without effect. s Not succeeding, and thinkihrit likely that •-• she would become a wreak, he quitted her and advised his Qwtiers of that fact and of th e s hip'S s it ua ti on . Th e o wners imiirediately gave notice to the underwriters of an abandonment. :aiid de- ' manded as for k total loss The underivriters sent over a Gentle man (a Mr. Woodcomb, we think) to see what coliki•bir done.re spectingthe ship. This gentleman employed a number of lighters, and attempted to float her, but a violent gale coming-on „*.he obliged to abandon his intentions for the present._ Hatribie; bow ever, to the underwriters, inf or ming them that e had no.doei- , 'the vessel would be got out w i t h ou t muc h dame e.' Thetunth•r writets, in consequence resisted the payment :as for a total loss. and this action was commenced against thenr in .11Iay, front. so; cause or other, which did no t a pp ea r; the a c ti on went orer to 11:.! present time.: rn the interim Mr. Wiodeoinli did =VI* 'sight of the attempt to float the vessel, and by means of arEaltrirm- • . ber of boats, engaged for the purpose, Ile speceeded.m-Septem.- ber, in getting her out of the sand, and had her Conveyed to a safe harbour, she having,. as.it.anpeared; sustained sthr'?little damage by the accident. The undewriters advised of this, gave notice to the 'miners,. in - October, that theJii i was safe and in a condition to proceed` on her voyage, kat ' that therefore the only damage Which they (the owners) Could claim, was for an average loss for retardation of.yOyage.. The:others, however, proceeded - with the action; anti the question. aslljch the 'Jury had now to - determine was, Whether, uncrey jhe circumstances, they ought 'to, recover as for 11 rotarois"-Cialy an average loss. The Learned Sergeant .ccy.enijek Aliat the captain having used all' the Means ih his power, with out effect, to get the vBsel out, the owners were right in aban doning and going for a total loss ; and :there was lid ettistion, that if the present action had been in-.the Sittings-aftar I;ri nity Term, the plaintiff would have got 'd :verdict fqr. it would not have:been- disputed,:: that up . to thlit- heitris: the vts sel had not been freed, nor was : there:then a•ehance•ofit.

For the defendants, Mr,:gerjeant VAUGHAN contended.,that the question was not !thief tea .been- done respecting the yes. • see since the present action commenced, but whether.St ought - ever to have been brought as fora total loss, He would prove that from the first there was iro man acquainted with such af fairs, who could have entertained a doubt that the vessel would ' have been got off with some exertion. •If • the- Captain shad • • made that exertion as he was bound to do, he would have•sw ceeded. As he had not, he submitted his owners could recover only for a partial loss as for. retardation of the voyage. ."`". Mr. 'Woodcomb, the gentleman alluded to by Serjeant was called; and he positively swore that from the first there yeas no doubt in his mind that the vessel could have been got off: The men whom he last employed for that purpose, contracted to to• it for 2,800 guilders (240/.) and in the event of not succeeditg, they were to receive nothints,•. Mr. Serjeant LENS replied. • The Lord Chief Justice DALLAS said, that althoigh :a question of law might arise upon the subject, yet upon the facts he was of opinion that the weight of evidence went to . show that the plaintiff ought only to recover as for a retadatitki of voyage. . The Jury coincided with his Lordship's opinion, and found a verdict accordingly for the plaintiff for an average loss only': PEARCE 3'OO:v.—NEGLIGENT DRIVING: • • Mr. Sergkant PE L L said, this .was sea action, to tecover egg. pensatimi in damage's for an injury sustained by the ne t gligent driving .of the defendant's servant; by which the plaintiff had his arm broken, and• was likely to be d•!.: . prived of the use Of it for the rest of his life. The plain tiff is a vellum-binder, the defendant is a whdrfinger. ..It would appear in evidence, that On 'the 2.'Oth of December last, the plaintiff; accompanied by a friend, was walking along East cheap. The defendant's servant was passing along, driving waggan. A brewer's drity was' standing by the side of toe way ; but it would be pi-oved that there was full room for the defendant's servant to pass with his . waggon, if he had been' • careful. He, however, drove negligently on, by which „his waggon struck against a dray-cart, which struck the plaintiff, knocked him against.a post, and - shattered his m. For.this the present action was brought. It was true, the defendarkt was not personally a party to the'tratisaction : No blAie what soever was attributable to him, but in law.he was .answerablb for the acts of his servants; and it was natural that the Oaths . * tiff should rather look to bins foi compensation than to the ser. • vans himself.. Mr. Baldwin, a brewer's Jelerk, who accompanied the drsil•;• proved the facts as stated by the Learned Serjeant, and added, that when he remonstrated with the driver of the waggon upon his negligence, and demanded his name and the number of his waggon, he said he would he d i d it' he would give either, and struck the witness a WOW in .the faCe. Witness was satisfied that he (the defendant's servant)' could' have passed the dray . with case, if he had taken propercare. ' - The other witnesses corroborated Baldwin's testimony as to all the facts. Two medical gentlemen were edll&l',` 'one of whom attended plaintiff for a . tirae in St.. Thomas's Hospital, and the other -.- afterwards. They stated the nature of the injury: Plaintiff's - arm was.now recovered in it'greaf degree, but it was still stiff, .• and it might be a long time before he recovered the ute of it. Mr. Sergeant •VAIT G /IA x, for the defendant,, admitted that a verdict must be given against his client; but he trusted the jury would be temperate in awarding 'damages. No personal blame could attach, or was imputed tci the defendant, but it was his misfortune to be responsible for the act of a negligent servant. _Lord Chief Justice IYAitis sumtned up, and the Jury gave **Verdict for the plaintiff-:4)arnagelool. ESSEX WINTER: ASSIZES._ The Assizes for this County ended at Chelmsfora, on Satur day, about twelve o'clock. The remaining cases- in: the calen dar not already reported 'were destitute of general snterest. The Grand Jury found a bill of. indictment against a man, not in custody, charged with wilful murder.
