BURY COUNTY COURT.

THE EAHL OF DERBY AND THE OVEIOEEHS OF TIM
MOH or Boor.

On Wednesday last7ae;;e;w7tifedat the County Court,
Bury, Lancashire, which excited great interca throughout
the entire locality. Nearly the whole of the land on
which the town of Bury is built is the property of the
Earl of Derby. and is a source of immense wealth, which
is constantly increasing in consequence of the rapid im-
provement of the town. The workhouse is situated within
the manor of Bury, and previous to the year 1828 the
overseers of the poor paid one shilling per annum as rent,
since which period five pounds have been annually paid.
By the enlargement and improvement of the building the
overseers have expended the sum of 1,2831. Idle. hid.
Some time since the agent of the Earl of Derby
directed the attention of the overseers and guardians
to the importance of building a union workhouse sufficiently
capacious to admit the applicants for relief, so that they
might dispense with the practice of giving outdoor relief to
the able-bodied paupers. The overseers and guardians en-
tertained an opinion that the plan which they had pre-
viously adopted was much superior to the plan recom-
mended by the agent of the Earl of Derby, which they sup-
posed would involve the expenditure of a large amount of
money, without resulting in any great advantage to the
ratepayers, end consequeutly refused to commence opera •
tions in building a union workhouse. Subsequently, with
a view to induce the guardians to alter their determination,
notices to quit possession of the workhouse were served
upon the overseers and guardians, and at the expiration of
the notice a person was appointed to whom possession of
the workhouse was to have been given up. The governor of
the workheue: having received instructions not to give up
the possession of the workhouse to any party, kept the
doors of the workhouse locked for some time, and when
the person who was appointed to take possession of the
premises reached the workhouse he found the doers were
closed against him. Tho ageutof the Earl of Derby then
entered an action in the Couuty Court fur the purpose of
obtaining possession of the premises, and the case was
heard on Wednesday last before J. S. T. Greene, Esq.
The service of the notices to quit possession was proved,
and counsel contended that, as the overseers were legally
tenants under the Earl of Derby, and had held valuable
property at a ue ry low rental, they ought, after having re-
ceived eutficient notice, to have given up po session.
Mr. Monk raised a variety of legal objections to the
course which had been pursued, and contended that, in
consequence of certain informalities in the notices to quit
possession,
