Londo n : Printed for Sherwood, Neely, and Jones, i'ater noster-row. Mr. MARRYAT opened the case to the Jury. The defendant was proprietor of the Sunday newspaper called the. Guardian, which, in April, 1820, he engaged with the . plaintiff to print. As Mr. Wood could not enter o❑ the business without incur ring considerable e x pense for. new types, he wished for a written agreement, which accordingly was.signed, and which was'the fOnndation of the present action. By this agreement Mr. Street bound himself to. employ Mr. Wood, as printer of the Guardian, for 10 months, or at all events for the rest'of the year, and to pay him 251. a week for printing 1,000 copies, which was the regular number,and an additional suit) .for all copies printed over that number when wanted. Mr. Wood accordingly purchased new types at a very large ex pense, and began to perform his duty; having nothing, of course, to do with the sentiments of the paper, which were :directed by the Editor. The leading articles often were not sent till Saturday, and sometimes not till a very late hour of the night, because they were frequently furnished by persons in high stations in the country. Thus the printer was ne cessarily put to great troulAle ►n order to ensure an early publication. The Loan CHIEF JUSTICE interposed, and suggested that the matter bad better he settled out of Court. Mr. MARRYAT said, that he did not intend to introduce any names in the course of the cause. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE said, he had no doubt that he would not. It was not with that view that he made the sug gestion, but because he thought that the ends of justice would be best secured by such a course. Mr. MARRYAT, however, proceeded. . The, only defence which he could anticipate was, that the publication was not sufficiently early. There was no stipulation in the agreement on this point, but it was, no doubt, understood that the print ing should be completed in reasonable time; but then it Must hare been understood also, that the copy should be furnished . in reasonable time. Now, the matter was often_ sent ver y late from the Editor; five columns were reserved far adver tisements, which, being in small letter, required snore labour; but, milder all disadvantages, the paper was ready for publi cation at half-past four in the morning. The excellence of the printing would scarcely be disputed, for he (Mr. Marryat) understood that there was but one paper in London so well ptinted• To this there was only one exception, when the de fendant sent a wooden block to represent the execution of certain conspirators, which he was desirous to have intro duces' into the paper, came himself to insist on its insertion, and wetted some of the paper so as to injure its appearance after it was printed. The truth was, that the defendant was desirous of getting rid of the agreement, because he bad found some one else who would live in the house where the paper was published, and would, in consideration of this ad vantage, do the work -for a less sum. He could prove that 1,000 copies were always ready at the proper time, and that when snore were wanted, the messenger never waited longer ' than a quarter - of an hour before he received a supply. The Loan CHIEF JUSTICE again interposed, and said that as it was a question of amount of damages, it was the most proper subject for a reference. He had no end but justice in this, as in every other case, and justice would be best attained by an inquiry out of Court. The plaintiff was accordingly sent for, and a long consulta tion took ;lace between his Counsel and Mr. SCARLETT and Mr. DEN lAN, who were for the defendant. Ultimately his Lordship's suggestion was adopted, and the cause referred, on the usual terms, to Mr. D. F. Jones. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, FEB. 20. GARLAND V. JEKYLL AND ANOTHER. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, who is lord of the manor of Weeks-park-hall, in the county of Essex, to re cover from the defendants, as executors of the late Sir Charles Bunbury, a sum of 2,6001. the value of 14 horses, claimed by him as heriots, to which he was entitled by the custom of the manor. Sir Charles was tenant, by copy of court-roll, of a portion of this manor, which had descended to him from two sisters, who held it in coparcenary, through their several in termediate representatives; in the course of which descent it became subdivided into 14 lesser estates.. Now the plaintiff contended, that the original estate being once severed, each of the minor estates continued a separate and distinct estate for ever afterwards, although they all happened to centre in the one individual, and as such were liable, by the custom of the manor, each to a separate and specific beriot. In support of this position, the court-roll of the manor was produced in evidence, to prove, front entries in it, that in two or three instances, distinct heriots had been paid to the lord for some of the subdivided estates, before they descended to Sir Charles Bonbury. The defendants insisted, that when an estate descended from a copiircener to her representatives, it still retained its quality of unity, and was therefore only liable to one beetot. This part of the case was reserved for the consideration of the Court in Bunco, which is to decide whether or not the defendants are liable by law to pay a specific heriot for each of the subdivisions of the original estate which had descend-, ed to Sir Charles Runhury; if so, in what proportions it was: liable ; and then, how far the particular custom of this manor controuled the general law in the present case. A question then went to the Jury under these.eircum stances :—After the death of Sir- Charles, two men were sent by the plaintiff down to Barton, where Sir Charles's stud was, to seize or demand the heriots. These persons were shown . into the paddock by the groom of the steed, where they saw 22 blood-horses, a list of the names of which they took down from the month of the groom, who told them that the horse " Smolensko" was then at Dr. Clark's, in Yorkshire. Upon coming away, the groom informed them that there were two others, which they had not yet seen; — to which they replied, that they had seen enough for their purpose. They, however, entered Smolensko's name at the, top of the list. The stud was subsequently sold at Tatter sall's by consent, without prejudice to this claim ; and Smolensk° fetched no less a sum than 1,300 guineas.— The jury was therefore to decide,. supposing the plaintiff's claim to the heriots to be well founded, Whether or not he was entitled to the value of Smolensk° as one of them ?, the plaintiff's counsellontending, that he bad made a selection of him amongst others, as appeared from his name being en tered on the list ; whilst the counsel fur the defendant insist ed, that the persons who went to Barton selected two-and twenty (the number to which they then thought the plaintiff entitled) front those which were in the paddocks; and that they could not have selected Smolensk°, as they had not seen . him, he being in Yorkshire at the time. The Jury retired from Court to deliberate, and after about half an hour's absence, returned with a verdict for the plain tiff for the value of so many heriots as the Court shall .pro nounce him entitled to, to be chosen from amongst those horses which the persons sent by the plaintiff to Barton bad seen in the paddocks. Messrs. Sergeants YELL and BLossET, SCRIVEN, and another Gentleman, were Counsel for the plaintiffs. Messrs. Ser geants LENS, Bosalgotrer, and TYNDA LI., for the defendants. The trial occupied the whole day. Yesterday the sale of the late QUEEN'S furni ture commenced at Cambridge House. A great crowd collected at an early hour. The auc tion, which will last for eight days, began by the sale of the lease of the house,which was knocked down for 85001. _ _ We are sorry to say, that accounts reached Brighton yesterday morning, stating the alarming indisposition of Mr. COUTTS ; Mr. C. is so ill that his life is despaired of.

Stock. Speculation was immediately busy in forming conjectures, as to the object of the proposed meeting, which, it was naturally supposed, was preparatory to a plan of commuting the Five per Cents. into a Stock of a lower interest. We think it unnecessary to repeat all the idle' ru mours circulated on the occasion: The old stand ing dish of a division in the Cabinet was of course served up again, which we only notice to ridicule. How indeed could any person of common sense imagine for a moment that the Speech of Lord Londonderry, so ample in detail, and so distinct in view, could have proceeded from any thing but a full and entire concurrence of opinion among all the Members of the Ad ministraticin ?—To the shameless assertion that no Retrenchment has been effected, the Govern ment replies in the most unequivocal way by statements in figures. Thus we have the follow ing results from the papers just printed for the use of Parliament : Year ended sth January, 1821, Income £54,542,953; Ex penditure £53,095,377—5urp1us of Income over Expenditure £1,447,580. Year ended sth January, 1822, Income £55,997,592 ; Ex penditure £53,325,915—5urp1us of Income over Expenditure £2,671,676 Year that will end sth January, 1823. Estimated Income £ss,22B,s92—Estimated Expenditure (including £350,000 ex tra Expenditure on account of the Irish Rebellion) £49,968,346 --Surplus of Income over Expenditure, £5,260,246. Here we see, a clear Surplus of income, amount ing to above . ViVe Millions and a Quarter, effected by a steady, gradual, persevering system of ,eco nomy—of economy truly deserving the name, as being in every item and particular founded on the reason of . the case, and justified in all its bearings by the weightiest considerations of pub lic utility. [MORNING HERALD.] We yesterday .received French and .Spanish Mails. The debate on the liberty of the, French Journals, lit s i , ,the Chamber of Deputies, has at length ceased. The Ministerial law has been carried by a majority of 219 to 137. Twenty five Members of the " Liberal" side are stated to have declined voting, which constitutes a real minority of 162. But notwithstanding the tri umphal career of the Ministers in the Chamber,- they by - no means possess the confidence of the. elective population of the capital. Two elections have recently taken place for the Department of the Seine —or, in other words, for Paris, and in both, the Ministerial candidates, though backed by all the influence of Government, were beaten hollow by candidates of the" Liberal" party. — This is the more remarkable, that the two last Ministries, under MM. de Cases and. Richelieu, commanded, we believe, three out of four re-, turns for the Representation of. the capital.— MM. Pasquier and Roy, whose elevation to the Peerage has caused the .present vacancies, were both returned on the interest of the last Minis , try, and that which preceded it. [TII E TIM ES.] It will be recollected by our readers, that in our leading article of Monday last, we hinted at the probable failure of the scheme of paying off the 5. per cents.; and we shall now of course, as the storm darkens, think it our duty to speak a little more fully on the morality of the subject. The first thing that strikes us, and, we believe, will strike the country, is, that Lord Liverpool has disposed of the money which he has not yet got from the paying off of the five per cents. His Lordship has assigned it to fill up the va cuum occasioned by the deduction of one shilling a bushel from the malt duty. He must, therefore, have calculated either upon the good=will of the holders of five per cent stock to . give up a fifth part of their income, or he must have thought him self qualified to pay off the whole of that stock, by availing himself of the higher price. to which other stock (that is, - the 3 per cents.) had risen. Yesterday was a holiday. Several private bar gains, however, were made, from Which it is as certained that Consols sunk half per cent. from their previous high price, in consequence of the apprehension of the vast sales that must take place in that stock, in order to satisfy the holders of 5 per cents. who may not be disposed to re linquish voluntarily a fifth of their income ; and the general inference, indeed, we may say, the general assurance, upon the Stock Exchange yes terday was, .that Ministers could not pay off the 5 per cents. as they had proposed. [BRITISH TRESS.] A Message from the Lords pf the Treasury was delivered yesterday at the. Stock Exchange by Mr. Hase, of the Bank of England, expressing a desire that the principal bankers and others, the holders of Navy five per cent. stock, should wait upon the Earl of Liverpool and the Chan cellor of the Exchequer at Fife House on Friday, at twelve o'clock. The terms of the Message imply the determination of the Ministers to pro ceed immediately towards the execution of the plan announced by the Marquis of Londonderry, of reducing the five per cent. stock. The inti mation, although it could not have surprised the Gentlemen of the Stock Exchange, as if it were a matter now started for the first time, nevertheless produced, as we are told, a very l ively sensation in the market, but its effects upon the prices of the funds were scarcely perceptible. The firmness of the market augurs favourably as to the result of the project, for it cannot be doubted that if the prices of the va rious denominations of stock maintain their pre sent relative proportions, a very large saving in the way of interest will be effected for the country. On this point, however, much will depend upon the means that are to be adopted by the Lords of the Treasury for accom plishing their object. It were idle now to in dulge in speculation upon'the probable details of the plan, or to tiotice 64 various - reports that are afloat concerning them ; a few hours will determine the result, and until this be known with certainty, it matters very little to the public to be told that one set of speculators conjecture that the project will be effected by raising loan in the three per cents. for the payment of the five per cents., while others think that it will be accomplished by inducing the holders of the five per cents. to accept an equivalent by way of transfer in the three per cents. The following table will chew the influence which the Message exercised upon the state of the market:— • Prices of Stocks on opening in After the Message. the morning. Navy .5 per Cents. -103 ii 4 per Cents. - -98 i 981:} Reduced - - -791 t 78i 79 Consols for Money & Acc. 713 i 781 [MORNING POST.] A message was delivered yesterday at the Stock Exchange, by Mr. Hase, from the First Lord of the Treasury and the Chancellor of the Exchequer, stating in substance, that Lord Liver pool and Mr. Vansittart were desirous of seeing the principal .Bankers and others, holders of Navy Five per Cent. Stock, at Fife House, to morrow (Friday) at twelve o'clock. The object of the Ministers is to annihilate the Five per Cent. Fund, by offering a bonus to the holders to go into other descriptions of Stock. Doubtless there are some difficulties in the way of the exe cution of this project ; and ,at. all events it will probably prove a work of time. In the year 1766 a reduction was planned of Four into Three per Cent. Stock, to the amount of about 3,500,0001. but it was . not then thought practicable to re duce more than a quarter of the sum in one year, which thus extended the operation over four years ; and had a war broken out the plan must have been frustrated. But the amount of the Five per Cent. Stock is nearly 142,000,0001. and as holders of this Stock are . dispersed not only over Great Britain, bitt also over the colonies, the East and West Indies; 'a notice of several months will in all probability be demanded in their behalf. The Four per Cent. Stock ap pears to be that in which it would be most ad vantageous to the nation to effect the operation of the proposed plan. By changing the Fives into Fours, a saving of a fifth part of the interest now paid on the former would be ob tained, which saving would amount to nearly a million and a half per annum. It may be ob served that what the nation would save, the holders would lose by this operation. But inde pendently of the bonus to be granted (which will indemnify from loss), it ought to be taken into consideration, that when the five per cents. were created, the nation paid to the purchaser a larger interest than it would otherwise have paid, for the express purpose of having the right of paying them off at par. Injustice in the trlnsaction is therefore entirely out of the question. [MORNING CHRONICLE.] We were not a little surprised, that Lord El lenborough, at the Surrey Meeting, on Monday last, should have affected to believe the equivo cal character of the Scots Representatives as a body, at all a reflection on the nation. Truly his Lordship paid a poor compliment to the under standings of the Scots, if he supposed that his language on that occasion could he acceptable to them. The Representatives of Scotland are chosen by between two and three thousand indi- Viduals, to many of whom the franchise is no doubt sufficiently profitable, and who are of course exquisitely sensible to observations on this subject ; but it would be singular, indeed, if the rest of the nation, who suffer from this state of things, over which they have no controul, should deem their honour concerned - in main taining the purity of character of those whom corruption fattens at their expellee. A French Liberal might take offence at hearing the Ultras characterized as wise, enlightened, and friendly to civil and religious liberty ; but he would hardly quarrel with any one who ascribed to them qualities directly the opposite• of these ; —an Irish Catholic might be very ready to take offence at hearing the moderation of the Orange men made the subject of praise ; but he would hardly quarrel with those who thought less fa vourably of them. Why then should his Lord ship libel the Scots by treating them as more weak and foolish than any other people ? We have too favourable an opinion of his Lordship's understanding to suppose him in earnest on the occasion, or that he meant any thing more than startling his hearers by what he might think a dexterous paradox ; but we should have had a higher opinion of his judgment, if he had shewn more respect for the understanding, both of those of whom he was speaking, and of those to whom he addressed himself.— With respect to the Scots—if their Representa tion has given such increased power to corrup tion in England, it may at the same time be said, that English corruption has been the means of retaining them in their thraldom.
