TUILWAT EVENTNO.
The first sale in the Encumbered Estates Court,
after the long vacation, took place to-dav the pro-
perty sold being the estate of Samuel M. C.lintock and
others, in the county of Louth. This estate was sold
in Mardi last, when ono of the puisuct creditors,
hoping that the proceeds would reach his debt, bid
1,4004, but, as he was disappointed, the sum rea-
lised not extending to him, he applied to the com-
missioners to be released, and his application was
granted. The nett annual rent is about 16gf , and
the produce of the sale to-day wasl,67sL, being 275/.
more than the same land was knocked down for in
the early part of the year.
A discussion, some portion of which was far front
being creditable to the civic body, took place yester-
day at the quarterly meeting of' the Dublin corpora-
tion on the queation of sending a deputaticn to attend
the funeral of the Duke of Wellington. I subjoin
an outline of the proceedings :
The Lord Mayor said, that in accerdoince with the reso-
lution that had been paned with reference to the corpora-
tion attending tloo Duke of Wellington's foneral, the Town
Clark wrote to the Se cretary of State, from whom a reply
was received, stating that he was not the person to apply
to, and that the application should be made to the Earl
Marshal. The Town Clerk then wrote to the Earl Mar-
shal, who stated in r, ply, that the corporation could not
have a place in the procession, but that twenty-five seats in
the Cathedral would be reserved Gar them, and ea quested to
be furnished with the names of those gentlemen who in-
tend to be present on that occasion.
Mr. Martin said that at the meeting of the committee of
the whole house, which assembled to consoler this matter,
he moved a resolution to the effect that it was inexpedient
to attend the funeral, and it was supported by the members
for Trinity Ward.
Mr. Codd moved the following motion The Lori
Mayer having apprised the house that the Earl Marshal has
reserved for the numbers of the corporation twenty-hoe
plaees in St. Paul's Cathedral to attend the funeral obse-
quies of the late illustrious Duke of Wellington, that his
lordship be requested to entertain the names of the mem•
hers who are desirous to be present ton the occasion ; and
should the number exceed that for which accommodation
bar been provided, that the members be then selected from
those by ballot."
Mr. L.isubert seconded the motion. It was only neces-
sary to allude to the lust act of the Duke of Wellington
with reference to their city as a reason why they should
joie in paying a tribute of respect to the memory of that
illustrious individual—(hear, hear)—aud that was to cave
their city from being deprived of the Mike of viceroy.
(Hear, bear.)
After • discussion of some length,
The Town Clerk then read the letters at the request of
Alderman Reynolds, which hod passed between him aid the
Earl Marshal with reference to the funeral of the Duke of
Wellington.
Alderman Reynolds said be objected to the Town Clerk
having stated in the letters addrcsaed to Mr. Walpole and
the Earl Marshal, that the resolution containing arequent
that a place should be reserved for the corporation in the
procession had been passed at a full meeting of the Town
Council, the fact being that no meeting had been held to
consider the sultject but an illegal one. Ho begged to say
that he would take no part in the proceedings, and he
cautioned his lordship against accepting a seat in the gallery
of the cathedral, for it was not likely to be occupied by per-
sons on an equullity with his lordship.
Mr. Codd's resolution was then put and carried.
Captain Fortescne, of Stcphcnstown, has given aa
abatement of from 12e. to 15s. per acre to the
teuantry on his property, and has deducted all waste
land, roads., &c., from the measurement of their
!farms.

TEL was • motion to discharge an order for an injunction
by the late Vice-Chancellor Parker. restraining the defend-
ant from widening a suit or sluice which crune•d the plain-
tiff's land, and by means of which the defendant's mill was
supplied with water, and w hich right was granted to the
defendant wader • lease from the plaintiff. The question
turned on the point as to whether by the terms of the lease
the defendant was entitled to widen the goit after it was
once made. The plaintiff it. slated the doing of this. and
filed a bill fur an injunction, which was granted by the
rice-Chaneellor, the Cuurta of Queen's Bench and the
Exchequer having successively decided against the defend•
ant's right.
Mr. Malin, and Mr. Diekenton were beard for the de-
fendant, urging that then was not a case for an injunction,
but that the plaintiff should he satisfied with a reasonable
compensation, which the defendant was ready to pay.
Mr. J. Russell and Mr. llislop Clarke, fur the plaintiff,
were not hilted.
The Lord Chancellor said that as regarded the opinions
Of the judges of the common law they. would always have
great weight with any one sitting in this court, and,
although by the late act of parliament it was the duty of
this wart to deride points of law for itself without sending
owes to the courts of law, yet he would be entitled to the
assistance of the common law jwiges ; and if he bad thought
that this case was one of auth lout difficulty to entitle hits
to call on those persons he would have done so. Supposing
the or. rits of the we to be against the plaintiff on the con-
struction of the instrument now in question, the court
might not enftece the onatract by injunction but leave the
party to his remedy at law. Here, however, there could be
but one construction of the contract. If the contract did
not permit the defendant to cut a new goit it was a case in
which a man under a certain grant maumed a tight he had
not. and carried away the soil of the landlord. That could
not be allowed, nor could this court see Otltl man take away
the soil from another utau's land. On the only construc-
tion which could be put on the contract it was not a case
In which the continuince of that injunction could be re
fused ; but it was said that the defendant could not be
ordered to fill up the excavation and replace the soil. But
there was an undertaking that nue eicamitions should be
filled up, and it could nut be supposed that anything beyond
the mere labour of filling up woo necessary. There could
be no doubt on the construction of the contract, and that,
as the deien lent originally hail the power to make the gait
of any breadth he pleased, and hail made it of a certain
breadth. there was nothing to prevent the plaintiff onild
tog near it. nor was there any power given in the lease to
enlarge the grit after it wee fitst inade. Ile wax of opinion
that the construction of the contrast by the common law
judges was the right oar, and that there were no circum-
stances shown to prevent the granting of the injunction.
The motion meat, therefore, be refused with costs.

Mr Foster, at the niquiret of Bir George Turner, sub-
mitted for the opinion of their lordships an important
question of evidence arising in this case. It appeand that,
for the purpose of putting in evidenes certain (acts of thii
cam. copies of extracts from a parish register were pro-
dared, which were signed and certified as true copies by
the curate only of the parish, then being at
the time a resident recur or vicar them. The
late act (14 & 15 Viet., esp. 99, 14t. 14), provides
that before each copies can be received in evidence they
must be sigaed and certified as true copies or extracts by
the passe to whew melody the original is entrusted. The
question was, whether under the circumatanees the curate
was the proper officer to sign the topics within the mean-
of the act.
Thtir Lordships said it would be useful and convenient
that the set should be construed liberally ; and they held
that the curate was the proper eater within the act.
The copies tendered were ace rdiagly admitted as evi-
dence of the fans they were predated to prove.
