FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. PAnts, Nov. I.—Yesterday, before Mass, the King gave a private audience to the Chevalier ?Gamier., Prefect of La Crease. After transact 'ing business with Count Corbiere and Count Villele in succession, his Majesty, at two o'clock, :took a •promenade on the outer Boulevards. We have received accounts from Verona, dated -the 25th October. Nothing has yet transpired -of the deliberations of the Congress. • His Ex , c'ellency the Viscount de Montmorency does not appear to have had any intention of leaving . V erona in the beginning of Noverrrher.—(L'Etoile). Strange reports are circulating relative to the Congress. For these three days- past, the return of the Emperor of Russia to his empire before -the period agreed upon has been much talked of. `To-day a Journal, the good intentions of which -.are not doubtful (the- Gazette de France), gives letter from Vienna, dated . the 21st, which . says "his Majesty the Emperor of Austria will return 'to his ..capital sooner than Was expected ; and the affairs which were to form subjects of deliberation for the Congitss of Verona will be terminated at Vienna by the Ministers now assembled in 'ltaly. The cause of this sudden change is not exactly known, " Several remarkable arrests are reported .to have taken place at Verona, Padua, and Venice. " The greatest vigilance has been recommended with respect to travellers, and several places are mentioned which they are not permitted to enter." Letters from Verona, dated the ebth (as stated above) do not, however, speak of the removal of the Congress, which; if it do take place, will cer tainly have for its motive solely considerations of political fitness.—(Journal des Debuts.) The Gazette de France. announces that a fire bad broken out at Vienna, in the cellars of the house occupied by the Chief War Commissary, 'Which was got under with great difficulty, but not before large magazines of ammunition had been reduced to ashes. The Ministerial Journal, Espectador, states -that the intelligence brought by. this courier is favourable, and says" General Espana, who :was at Vienna as the Emissary of the Re gency of Urgel, had not been received : a personage who had arrived at Vienna, and :..vho is one of those most likely to have the chief influence in the Congress, gave the most flattering hopes with respect to Spain, and testi fied much interest for thatnation." The discussion of the decree presented to the Cortes on the 22d was continued on the 24th; when all the articles, to the eleventh inclusive, were adopted, except the 9th, which was rejected ; but; propositions we're afterwards made by dif ferent Deputies to renew the article in a modified shape. An extraordinary courier has brought news from Madrid up to the 25th. The Duke of Castro Torrenus, Captain of the liallibardiers, on the 7th of July, and who had been sent to quarters at Valencia, has been conducted to Madrid, and put in the same prison with the other _accused persons. The Duchess followed him to ,Madrid. Brigadier Peron, who at the same, epoch commanded the Ist regiment of Guards, has also been sent to Madrid. General 14Jorillo, who had escaped from his country house at the moment that persons came to arrest him, was seized on the 18th at Larza, three leagues from the frontiers of Portugal. It is said that he was recognised by an inhabitant of the vil- Jage who had served under him in the war of independence. The Alcalde arrested him be cause he• had no passport. It is said Govern ment has sent him a passport to come to Madrid. The opening of the Society Landaburienne, so named from a Lieutenant of the Guards, who perished in the beginning of July, under the Presidency of the Deputy, Romero Alpuentes, took place on the 25th, in the evening. Salveberez and Garces, two factious Chiefs, had been tried at Pampeluna, and sentenced to death. They were executed there on the 22d. It is asserted that Alexander O'Donnel, Co lonel of the Imperial Alexander regiment, is to take the command of the sth district in place of Espinosa, so that if Charles O'Donnel commands the Royalists in the 'same province, as is said, the two brothers will be obliged to fight one against the other. _ _ _ The elevation of the Journalist, San Miguel, to the post of a Minister, has roused the ambi tion of the:Editors of the Zurriago and of . the Tercerola. Displeased, however, with their for mer coadjutor, they do not spare him in their writings. The Editor of the Tercerola_has been denounced to the Alcalde, at the requisition of San Miguel'ond the affair has been sent for trial. We have not yet received the details, as was expected, of the destitution of the Municipality of Parnpeluna. The gates of the town are shut, to secure. some emissaries who had entered with improper intentions. It is confirmed that 'Estella has been surprised ,by the insurgents, who, after offering a capitula tion to about 100 soldiers, afterwards inhumanly massacred them. Colonel Asura, recently arrived at Tolosa, says that Gurrea, a Constitutional 'Chief has ad vanced on 'Lerida with 5,000 men, and that ,Zarco del Valle had left 3,000 men on the fron tiers of Catalonia, to prevent the return of the .factious into Navarre. From Tolosa, a column composed of 100 men Of the regiment Espagna, and of national militia, 'was sent to Villafratica to make head against 800 insurgents arrived on the 18th at Ataun. It is believed these are the band that attacked Estella. A Portuguese General; who was coming to take refuge in France, has been arrested at Vit toria, and assassinated by the Constitutionalists. --(Quolidienne.) La Ruche d'Aquitaine announces that Lieut.- General Count Donselot, Governor of Martinicfue, ~bas established a Cour Prevotal ,ia that Island, by an ordinance dated August 12th, in order to put a stop to,poisoningi which have been com mitted in several places. The Tribunal of Correctional Police at Mar ,seilles has decided that the right of carrying arms :belongs to every Frenchman who is not expressly. deprived of it by the law ; that the right to hunt and shoot is inherent in property, and that every land-owner may hunt, "or allow hunting in his fields, both open and inclosed, during the seasons when it is not prohibited ; finally that carrying arms without permission is not a crime, unless shooting or hunting actually takes place. • This law agrees with that of the Cour Royale of Aix. Nit's, OCT. 31.—We have just received a -letter from Saumur, dated the 27th inst., which gives the following details respecting the at tempted assassination of Lieutenant Wolfel, who arrested General Berton : . " Yesterday M. Wolfel was on the visiting service (a new duty, which is performed by the officers in garrison, who, at nightfall, in succession, have to visit the town-gates, military hospital, &c.) About half-past nine o'clock, M. Wolfel, on his way to the hospital, observed several individuals, who ap peared to be following him : without suspecting them of any evil design, he passed on to return to the guard-house, by the , rue St. Nicholas and the Square. Arrived there, he thought he recognised near him one of the individuals whom he had previously remarked.; but, without further occupying his at tention about this circumstance, he turned' down a narrow street. It appears that the assassin, who had all this time vi gilantly watched the steps of M. Wolfel, now went on, and concealed himself behind a large post, at the left corner of the street, near the residence of the Commandant, 31. Leman. —At the moment that 31. Wolfel was about to turn the corner, the assassin extended his arm and stabbed him with a poniard, at the same time calling him a scoundrel! M. WOlfel stag gered and fell against the wall. Observing the man making off, he did not. lose his energy, but vainly endeavoured to pursue the murderer, who soon got out of sight. He then re turned to have the wound dressed. His wound . is not danger ous, which luckily is owing to the buckle of his sword-belt, which was directly over the left breast, in which he received the stab.,-This morning the King's Procureur went to the barracks, accompanied by all the police, the gendarmerie, and the several officer's. M. Wolfel did not recognise the features of the assassin, but he appeared to him to be well dressed. His footsteps have been tracked near the forge, and their di mentions taken.—M. Wolfel is better to-day, though suffering much."—(Journal des Debuts.) The Quotidienne contains more details of the attempt to as sassinate Sub-Lieutenant Wolfel, and they rather differ from those it gave,veaterday. For example, instead of a great-coat, this officer hailhaila mantle, as stated by the Gazette. The weapon, which it also said had onlY penetrated a few lines, having been stopped by the thickness of the clothing, is now said to have entered an inch and a half into the flesh, although the buckle of the belt, the cloak, and the coat had contributed to stop the blow. The judicial inquiries will soon put the public in a condition to know what is correct in the account given by the Quotidienne, and by the other Journals.—( Le Courier Franais, N0v.1.) It was yesterday announced that it had been resclved, as basis, at Vienna, that his Majesty the King of Spain shall he, re-established in all his rights. the means, it is said, will be discussed at Verona. The first conference has taken place be tween the Ministers of Foreign Affairs of the four powers form ing. the Holy Alliance. Of the foreign plenipotentiaries, the Duke of Wellington was the only one admitted.—(Le Drapeau Blanc.) Most of the journals have announced the departure of M. the Baron de Vitiolles for ycrona.. 'We would gladly have pre ferred to confirm this announcement; but Verona is not his destination.—(ldenz.) M. Benjamin Constant, and the Editors of the fcur Liberal Journals, viz, Courier Francciis, Constitutionnel, Pilote, and the Journal du Conimerce, appeared to-day before the Tribunal of Correctional Police, chirged, the former with having com posed, and the others with having published, a letter respect ing the deposition of M. le Carrere, Sub-Prefect at Saumur, before the Assize Court of Poitiers. The said letter is de nounced as containing insults against a public functionary, for having duly discharged his duty ; and against a witness, in con sequence of the tenour of his testimony. 111. B. Constant occupied a seat reserved for him between the Tribunal and the Advocates' bench. On being called upon to declare his name, profession, &c., he replied—" I declare that I do not admit the competence of this Tribunal to try me, be cause I have appealed against the decree of the Chamber of Council, by virtue of which I am thus cited before the Correc tional Police. But, in order to evince my respect for the laws, and for authority, although incompetent, I am ready to answer you." Some objections to the competency of the Court were also made by the Counsel for the Editors of the Journals. After - a short deliberation, the Court deferred the suit to 'a future day, irk order to take into consideration these several pleas._ - - - - M. Benjamin Constant has received another summons to ap pear next week, to answer to an indictment founded upon his letter to M. Mangin, Procureur-General. attached to the Royal Court of Poitiers. SPAIN. BAYONNE, OCT. 26.—The affairs at Pampeluna have not had the terrible consequences that there was reason to apprehend. However, to fulfil the promise made to the troops of the garrison to bring the guilty to trial,. Colon e l G arces an d Captain Salaberri, both belongifig to the Army of the Faith, have been sentenced to the punishment of death, by the Mili tary Tribunal, and they were executed accordingly last Wed nesday. The proceedings against the officers and subalterns who are prisoners; are carrying on with great activity, and it is believed that some more victims will be sacrificed. Quesada, though the Journal of Saragossa thought him to be at Balaguer . on the 15th, arrived on the 22d in Navarre, with 1,600 men, in a most wretched condition, in consequence of the fatiguing march which they had just made. He immedi ately took up a position in the' valley of Roncal. body of 700 Constitutional troops, which followed him from Arragon, has joined the troops under General Espinosa, who the day be fore yesterday were marching towards the valley of Roncal, Colonel Alexander O'Donnell, of the regiment called " Im perial Alexander," is said to have been appointed to the coin . - mand of the troops in the fifth military division, Navarre and the three provinces of Biscay, in the room of General Espinosa, which would suspend the journey of his brother Don Carlos, who is at Bayonne, and was on the point of entering Spain. The assassination of the soldiers of Colonel Dos Pelos has excited the highest indignation in the minds of the people oil these frontiers. The Committee of the Faith assembled at Bayonne, displays extraordinary activity. They expect here General Don Carlos Espana, who, it-is said, is going to take the command on our frontiers, by order of the Regency at Urgel. They have just organized here a.Junta or General Staff, and a General Inten dancy for the three Biscayan Provinces. All the, orders and acts to be issued by them' will hear the motto at the head—Re ligion, the King, or Death.—We see .by this that they have thrown aside the mask. The individuals who are to form a part of these three departments of the administration are on the point of setting out for Spain. It is said that a Portuguese General, who was flying to France, has been arrested at Vittoria, and assassinated by the constitutionalis, who found on• him papers of a revolutionary tendency, We give no credit to this news, -especially as we cannot tell'wheuce it can have come, the post not having yet arrived. ATTEMPT TO MURDER THE EARL OF CRAVEN'S GAME-KEEPER.Between 12 and 1 o'clock on last Wednes day night, as John "Watts, game-keeper to the Earl of Craven, at Coomb Abbey, near Coventry, was out in the grounds in quest of poachers, he detected two desperate poachers, named Peter Smith and John Porter, setting snares for game : the villains finding they were discovered determined to murder him ; they attacked him with hedge-stakes, knocked him down, and inflicted several tremendous blows on his head, and every part of his body, leaving him for dead ; in this shocking situation he was found shortly after by two men, who had previously been in company with him, but who had parted with him for the purpose of exploring other parts of the grounds; he was carried home apparently lifeless, and put to bed, a sugeon was immediately procured, who dressed his wounds ; his skull was dreadfully fractured, and several deep wounds andlbruises all over his body : however, he recovered the use of his speech so as to be able to tell tl . name of the villains 'who so basely attacked him; fearful of his death his depositions were taken before a illagimrate, and a warrant issued for the ap prehension of the assassins, who fled that part of the country. On Thursday the warrant was put into the hands of two Coventry constables, who succeeded in tracing the villains up to London, and discovered that they had taken up their lodgings at the George public-house, in St. John's-street, Clerkenwell. . The constables repaired at twelve o'clock the same night (Friday) to the police-office, Hatton-garden, for assistance, and Charles Brown the officer, accompanied them to the George, where they found the two villains in bed in the attic : they locked them up for the night in one of the strong rooms at the police-office, Hatton-garden, and on Saturday they were handcuffed toge ther, and conveyed, in the custody of the two constables, in a post-coach to Coventry. The constables stated, that when they left home poor Watts was speechless, and that they had no doubt but he would be dead before their return. BRAZILIAN DEPUTIES. The following protest waS signed by the Bra. zilian Deputies on their arrival at Falmouth, where they are waiting for a passage to Rio de Janeiro : The undersigned, wishing to avert every suspicion foreign to truth, to which their sudden withdrawing from Lisbon might give rise, do hereby declare to the Portuguese nation and to the whole world, the reasons which compelled them to adopt that course. From the moment they took their seats in the Congress of Portugal, in which they had to struggle in the defence of the rights and interests of their country, and of the nation in ge neral, they unfortunately found that all the of they made proved abortive, and that they were even represented as so many aggressions upon the nation. Contempt and insult al ways accompanied the rejection of theirpropositions ; and after having with anguish of heart daily seen hostile plans against Brazil meditated and put in execution, in spite of their repeated and most earnest remonstrances, the Constitution of Por tugal was presented to them in order that they might sign and swear to it— a Constitution which contains many articles of a most - humiliating and injurious nature towards their country, and in which there perhaps is not one which even indirectly tends to its prosperity at a future though remote period. The undersigned, therefore, could not, without exposing themselves to the well-merited execration of .ieir fellow-citizens—without being tormented by the everlasting stings of their own conscience—without subjecting themselves to the maledictions of posterity, subscribe, much less swear, to a constitution which seems evidently framed to exalt and aggran dise Portugal at the expence of Brun. On this ground their refusal was founded. 'The hatred and indignation which had before been manifested towards the Brazilian Deputies now increased to such a degree, that it would have been most imprudent, and even a criminal temerity, in them to con anus in Lisbon, where their services were useless, and where they were exposed to inevitable insults from the populace, who believed that the Government and the Cortes sanctioned their violence. The Congress had, indeed by the expressions of some of its principal members, given unequivocal proofs of dissatis faction and of future designs against the inviolability of the undersigned, and even against their civil liberties, which every citizen is entitled to enjoy in a free State. The Government denies passports to one, and the Committee of Powers rejected as inadmissible the claim of another who insisted upon return ing to his country, because three .months of suffering from a chronical disease had rendered him incapable of attending to his duty—giving as the main reason for this decision, that he had not yet signed the Constitution and intimating authoritatively, that he must submit to the fate experienced by others in the same circun)stces. _ The undersigned considered, on the contrary, that the mis sion on which they had been sent was terminated ; that they had it now in their power, and were bound to give an account of their mission to their constituents ; and that it was therefore proper that they.should depart as quickly as possible. By the circumstantial exposition which they will make to their coun try of the different transactions which hawe ,occurred during their mission, the whole world will be enabled to judge of their conduct ; and their fellow-citizens, informed of these events, will perceive vithout difficulty the situation in which they are placed ; and will be satisfied that their representatives can do nothing more for them, except to present to them the faithful picture of the past, and a probable view of the future.

LAW INTELLIG ONCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, Nov. 2. PILKINGTON AND TursELL V. BENNETT. The LORD CHANCELLOR stated, that he had read the affi dits in this case.—(See our report of Saturday.)—After an at tentive consideration of the subject, he had formed the opinion that Mr. Bennett had undoubtedly. been guilty of a contempt of Court; but he thought it was perhaps the most excuseable case of that nature that had ever come under his consideration. If the objection which was made at last to the young gentleman existed at first, it was unfortunate that it had not been at first insisted on. If it should appear that no marriage had taken place, it would be necessary to inquire into the grounds of that objection. The affidavits stated that a marriage had taken place; therefore, the first thing to be done was to refer it to the ,Taster, to inquire whether or not there had been a valid mar riage between the parties. • A Mr. HART believed there was no doubt that the marriage had taken plaCe in France; but perhaps his Lordship would think it proper that it should be re-solemnized. The LORD CHNNCELLOR said, that if the Master should report that a marriage had not taken place, the question would he what the Court would do under such circumstances ; that was a question not very difficult of solution. Should it, how ever, be declared that a marriage had been had, it was desirable that it should be re-solemnized in England for the sake of proof : but that would depend upon what might be proposed by way of settlement. It was a difficult thing for the Court to pass over a contempt ; but upon looking at the affidavits, he thought that if there could be a case of contempt which the Court would not visit with punishment, this was one. He aid not pay much attention to the affidavits, although of very respect able individuals, with respect to the good character of the young gentleman, because he could not admit tliat a contempt of Court was to be disregarded because the person committing it was, as in the present case, of highly respectable character.— The ground upon which he proceeded was, that the young gen tleman was led on, step by step, until it became almost impos sible for him not to commit the attempt. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL observed, that his Lordship must perceive by the affidavits, that Mr. Bennett had enter tained no mercenary views. THE PORTSMOUTH CAUSE. Mr., HORNE reminded his Lordship that the petition in the case of the Hon. Newton Fellovies and the Earl'of Portsmouth would coihe on in the regular course on Tuesday next. Ilis object in alluding to this case was to request that it might be postponed. The ground upon which he made this application was an affidavit which had been filed by Dr. Bankhead and Mr. France, who was the solicitor of Lady Portsmouth, which stated that impediments had been thrown in the way of their visiting the Earl of Portsmouth, in order to ascertain the actual state of his mind. His Lordship during the long vacation had made an order, directing that the Earl of Portsmouth should be kept as tranquil and undisturbed as possible, but that reasonable access of medical persons to him should be allowed, in order to exa. mine his mind. In consequence of this order, two respectable .gentlemen, Dr. Bankhead and ilr. France, were directed to visit his Lordship; but it appeared from their affidavit that their access to him had not been so unrestricted as was necessary to enable them to execute the purpose of their visit. • The affi davit proved that the Earl of Portsmouth was kept in a sort of captivity, which exhibited one of the most extraordinary cases ever brought before a court of justice in this country. Under these circumstances, he requested that the case might be post poned, in order that an answer might, if possible, be given to the facts stated in the petition,. when the whole matter would Come fairly before the Court. Mr. HEALD, who was on the same side, supported the ap plication for delay. He would endeavour to explain the grounds on which it rested. During the long vacation his Lordship made an order which directed that the Earl of Portsmouth should be kept as quiet as possible, but should, however, be open to the access' of medical gentlemen competent to examine his mind. (The Lord Chancellor said he did not think he had made a formal order.)' His Lord Ship doubted whether he had made a formal order, but the intimation of his Lordship was considered as such by the Counsel of Lady Ports mouth. In consequence, her Ladyship did not go to Hurst bourne-park, although he was confident that, had she gone and obtained an interview with her husband, he would have been released from the state of thraldom in which lie was held.. Mit as his Lordship had directed that the Noble Earl should be kept tranquil, her Ladyship did not go to Hurstbourne-park, and all the accounts which had been published in the news papers,respecting her proceeding thither were totally false. Dr. Bankhead, however, went to Hurstbourne-pack, having pre viously given notice of his intention. Dr. Bankhead was re ceived by the persons who surrounded the Noble Earl in a manner which he (Mr. Heald) would not state, but whicl , was described in the affidavit. A great many affidavits had been made touching the transactions which had taken place in Scot land.' It was the opinion of Counsel that justice could not be done if the case were to come on at present, because it was consi dered necessary that, after reading Dr. Bankhead's affidavit, his Lordship should make some order, having for its object the investigation of the Earl of Portsmouth's mind by men of skill. He and his Learned Friends were anxious to lay before the Court the evidence upon this point of any number of phy. sicians appointed either by the Court or the opposite party, being fully satisfied that the result of investigation would be the evidence of the falsity of the insinuations, which were thrown out against'the mind of the Noble Earl. The ATTORNEY-GENERAI, .who was o pp ose d t o Mr. Heald and Mr. Horne, complained that the affidavit of Dr. Bankhead, which referred to a transaction that took place on the 2d Oct. had been filed only two days, in consequence of which it was impossible to make any answer to it. He felt it necessary' to allude to what had fallen from Mr. Heald, because otherwise the facts which he bad insinuated might go forth to the world (as every thing which passed in that Court did) as being in. capable of 'contradiction. He (the Attorney-General) denied, then, that any impediments had been thrown in the way of Dr. Bankhead ; he denied that that physician had not seen the Earl of Portsmouth. In fact., Dr. Bankhead had a long interview with him in the manner which he-desired. It had been stated that all that had been said about the Countess of Portsmouth going to Hurstbourne-park was false ; but it could not be denied that her Ladyship had gone to Whitchurch, half a mile from the former place, with the intention, he believed, of proceeding thither. . . • After some furtlier dikusiioo of no importanc6 between Mr. Hart, .111r..Pepys, and the Counsel before mentioned, the LORD CHANCELLOR said he would read Dr. Bankhead's affidavit, and detetthine on Tuesday morning what pioceeding, if any, it. would be necessary fly him, to found upon it. LEES V. AINSWORTH. The defendant attended in . Court to-day, in • pursuance of the order of his Lordship, to abide the determination of the Court, for having married a ward without the consent of the Court. Mr. Wakefield attended on his behalf. The LORD CHANCELLOR asked whether the parties were married ? Mr. WAKEFIELD said they had been married in Scotland sit weeks ago, with the consent of all their friends. The LO RD CHAN C L OR.—But not with the consent of the Court. Mr. 'WAKEFIELD then asked. that the case might stand over to 'Wednesday, in order to give his client an opportunity of filing affidavits. Thelon') Cifaxor.trAin granted the request, but issued an order, restraining all persons from taking the ward out of the jurisdiction of the Court. , THE WATERLOO-BRIDGE COMPANY V. MESSRS. BROWNING - . AND co: After hearing Mr. Horne and the Attorney-General, the Lonn'CuArr CE Limn confirmed the injuncion which he granted on Friday to restrain the defendants from proceeding with an action at law. DENSTIAW V. STREET . It will be recollected, that a few months ago a young man named Horatio Reeves was committed to the Fleet Prison for having committed a contethpt of Court by eloping from Exeter with Miss Drusilla Street, a ward of the Court. ' Mr. HART now said he had . a petition to present on behalf of the above individual, which set forth that he had suffered con siderably from his confinement, and prayed that he might be set at liberty. ' The LOlilD CILANCELLOII said he would hear the petition on Monday week.- COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Nov. 2. GAUNT V. BALL. This was an action of trover,' for a horse, described as a bay gilding, which, it was alleged, the defendant had converted to his own use. The whole case resolved itself into a question of identity ; namely, whether the horse claimed by the plaintiff was his or the defendant's property: On the part of the plaintiff it was proved, that on the 12th of February, 1820, he bought the horse in question of a gentleman named White, of York, at Northallerton fair, .in Lincolnshire, and that sonic time after wards it was stolen from his farm, and afterwards traced to. the possession of the defendant. Several witnesSes, and amongst others, Mr. White, his groom, and the driver of the York High flyer, swore distinctly and pbsitively to the horse iri piestion, tracing its history from . the time it was a foal of two years old down to the very moment it was sold to the plaintiff. They all pointed out marks by which they knew the animal, and were quite positive as•to its identity: On the other hand, twice the number of witnesses were called on the part of the defendant, to prove that the horse was_ foaled on the farm of Mr. Grant, a farmer at Maidenhead, in June, 1816, and continued in his possession until the month of May, 1820, when it. was sold to the defendant, a farmer at Wexham, • in whose poisession it remained until the Ist September, 1820, when it was stolen, but after Wares brought back on the Bth of the same month. All these witnesses swore most solemnly to the identity of the animal--pointed out marks by which they knew it, and gave a succinct history of it from the time of its birth to this day. • The case went to the Jury under the Learned Judge's direc tions, who left it to them simply as a question of identity, and they found their verdict for the defendant. • STEWART V. KEIART. This was an action by the plaintiff, a spirit-broker, to recover commission and brockerage on a quantity of spirits pitt up by him to sale, at the request of the defendant. ' It appeared that the spirits intrusted to Mr. Stewart for sale were not ultimately sold, but bought in by the defendant. He claimed ss. a puncheon on them for incidental expenses, and also for his trouble. .It was admitted that he had a right to re cover the expenses ' the amount of which was accordingly paid into Court, but that lie had no claim for his trouble unless the spirits were actually •sold. Witnesses were called on both sides to show the custom of the trade, several of whom sustained the allowance as custo mary, and others denied that it was usual within their know ledge. The LoRD CHIEF JUSTICE left the Jury to decide on the reasonableness of the claim, which they established by finding a verdict for the plaintiff, damages. 51. 2s. 6d. AUSTIN V. FRY. This was an action to recover damages of the defendant, for so unskilfully driving a mare which he had hired of the plain tiff, that she was thrown down and became useless: • Mr. SCARLET T stated the case on behalf of the plaintiff, who, he said, was a livery-stable keeper, having stables in :Wind mill-street and Bermondsey-street. The defendant was a cur rier and tanner, in' which capacities he might be excellent, but he would make a very indifferent member of the Whip club; In March last he hired the mare for a short excur sion, which he took in a whiskey, accompanied by his friend, Mr. Gerrard. - As they 'were proceeding, the - defendant could not resist the temptation to use his whip so freely that the animal, though exceedingly quiet when well used, became restive and ran violently along the road. Upon this the charioteer and his friend, determined to save themselves, got out at the back of the whiskey, and left the mare to her fate. She continued to run, and after striking against a cart, fell down, • and sustained an injury which made her useless for life. indeed, the plaintiff would have put her to death, as the most humane course, had he not been apprehensive that he should incur the penalties under ,the new Act of Parliament, for punishing cruelty to dumb animals. The witnesses for the plaintiff proved the value of the mare, and the injury that she had suffered, and stated that she was docile, and. not liable to become restive. On 'the part of the defendant, it was contended that the acci dent arose entirely from the original vice of the animal, and not from the misconduct of the defendant, who,was a skilful driver. To prove this case Mr. Gerrard was called, who. stated that the mare began to kick and plunge in the most alarming manui, without being struck by the whip, or afFected by any other' vi sible cause. Mr. Fry and himself were thrown out by a/bock occasioned by the mare coming in contact with a heap of iubbish at the side of the road. Mr. George Smith, who saw the accident, corroborated the statement as to the mare kicking and plunging, but could not speak to her previous usage. Three witnesses gave Mr. Fry the character of a careful driver. 111 r. SCARLETT replied. - The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE directed the .Tury, if they thought the accident arose from the manner in which the mare was driven, to find a verdict for the plaintiff fbr her value, and some small additional sum ;' but if they attributed it to her own tendency to restiveness, they would find for the defendant. The Jury, after some deliberation, found a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 28/. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Nov. 2. SELLS V. HOARE, GODWIN AND OTHERS. This was an action brOught by the plaintiff, a publican, against the defendants, who are eminent brewers,. under the following circumstances :—The plaintiff took a house (the Coach and Horses, St. John's-street-road) in the, defendant's trade, under the customary agreement to deal only with them for his beet. Ile : repaired, added fixtures, and so far im proved the house, whilst in his possession, that a person offered him 4201. if he could be let into possession. A disagreement took place soon . afterwards between the plaintiff and the de fendants, and the plaintiff was obliged to assign the house into the hands of their clerk. It then became a question what the plaintiff should be paid for the fixtures he had put up, and the repairs he had made in the house. They were valued at 250/. by the defendants' broker, but the plaintiff refused to be bound by that valuation ' and the defendants refused to pay a ny m ore than their broker had valued them- at. The plaintiff therefore now sought-to recover 170/., the balance between the sum 4201. offered to him by a witness, and the valuation of the de fendants' broker. The plaintiff's brother-in-law, who is a carpenter, proved the valuation, which he had made as well as he could for the person who had offered to purchase the fixtures, &c. The per son who offered to give 4201. proved that fact. Seven brokers and others concerned in buying and selling public houses, swore that 2501. was the full value of the fix tures, repairs, &c. The Jury retired for two hours, and returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 2501.
