DISPUTED 11.16117 OP PIPEPENTATION.
This was a case of quare impedit, and the declaration
stated that the plaintiff, Mr. Robinson, in right of his
wife, was seised of the moiety of the advowson
of the church of Brauncewcll and Dunsby with
Anwick, in the county of Lincoln, and was pos-
sessed of the alternate right of presentation; and that the
Marquis of Bristol had hindered bhn front exercising that
right. Previous to 1703, the rectory of Brauncewell-cum-
Dunsby belonged to John Lord Hervey, afterwards Earl of
Bristol ; and the vicarage of Ansi iek was the property of
Mr. Robert Gardiner ; that, as their reseective benehees
were very poor, the two patrons executed a dud uniting
them, and leaving the right of presentaion to be exercised
by them in turns. In the year 1326, the Marquis of Bri:tol,
having then the right, presented the Rev. Samuel Hartle-
wood (who was the other patron) in consideration that the
right should in future belong solely to him, the noble mar-
quis. On the death of Mr. Hailew.od in Ibl6, however,
his representative (the plaintiff's wife) claimed the tight to
present, alleging that the bargain referred to was simoniacal
and void. The cause was originally tried before Mr. Baron
Parke, and, a special verdict having been found, the points
of law were argued in the Court of Common Pleas, which
decided against Mr. Robinson and his wile. That decision
they now brought by a writ of error before this court ; and
Mr. Peacock, Q.C., argued the case in support of their
claim.
Mr. Justice Patteson said, that if a person were the patron
of two livings, A and 13, he could understand that the two
might be united so as to form one adrowson ; hut where
there were different patrons he could not understand how
the old advowson could be destroyed, and a new Prating
quid created. The case really was that the two advowsons
still existed, and that a right to present to them both al-
ternately had been created by the deed of union.
Mr. Peacock replied that the existence of the new advow-
son had been admitted by the other side, so that the only
question was, w Nether Mr. Ilszlewood was seised of the
moiety of the joint church, supposing that there was such a
church. After a very lengthened argument,
Mr. Cowling addressed the court in reply.
Judgment was postponed.

110TPER V. SEITIC—EITI/AollolNAlli CASE.
The plaintiff in this case is the faCier of Lady Smith,
the wile of Sir Beujumin Smith, who was the defendant.
Thu action was brought to recover the value of certain ne-
cessaries supplied to Lady Smith whilst living apart from
her husband. Thu case was called on for trial about a
twelvemoutli ago, but it was then settled without any of
the circumstances being Witted. It unfortueately happened,
however, that a misunderstanding arose amongst the
anansel as to the meaning of the terms agreed upon, and it
therefore became necessary to set it down tor trial a
mond time.
Mr. Serjeant Wilkins opened the case to the jury, and
Mated that during the whole of his professional career Le
hod nut risen under more piduful circumstances than at
pi wilt, fur the facts which would appear must necessarily
cause great pain and discomfort to the parties. It was a
great pity that this case could not be disposed of without
the hams:film* of a jury, but as that seemed impossible he
intuit discharge his duty. Thu facts of the case were these.
The plaiutitf, Mr. Thomas Hopper, was an architect of
some emineuce, and the defendant, Sir Benjamin Smith,
was a gentleman of large fortune; ho was in the '1
habit of moving in the highest circles of life, and
be was, iu fact, a member of her Majesty's
Hun. Corps of (Jeutlemen at Arms. It appeared that as
early as the beginning of the year Isti au intimacy existed
between the Louth( 1 of the plaintiff and the defendant,
which was continued until after the death of the then Lady
Smith, which happened in December, 1811 This intimacy
became so close that the plaintiff iu this action bad his ears
&mailed by remarks front the servant* in his own house as
to the nature of the intimacy in reference to his daughter.
As a father should du, he waited upon the defendant to as-
certain limn him what it was that had given rise to these
remarks. The defendant called hie God to witness that
nothing improper bad taken place between him and the
plaintiff's daughter. It might be at once stated that they
were married on the fish of January, 1847. Before that
marriage took place the defendant had asked permission of
the plaintiff to address his daughter, sod to make her his
' wife. The plaintiff said it was very strange, considering
the age of the defendant and the youth of the plaintiff's
daughter, the fact being that Le was nearly threw
Yeas her age. Upon this occasion the defendant
Latin solemnly declared that there was no ground for
remarks as to him and the plehitiff's daughter.
?or certain reasons, which it was not necessary
ID mention Sir Benjamin Smith wished his marriage kept a
secret fur a period of sin months, and the lather permitted
his daughter to return to his house, where she remained liar
some time. On the 27th April 31n.Woodbouse, her sister,
who had been ill, died, and Lady Smith was so much
of trued that she fainted, and fell upon the floor. In order
to restore her, it became necessary to loosen some portion
of her dress, and it was then discovered that she was far
advanced iu pregnancy, and that she had taken means to
oanceal that fact. Upon this the father insisted that his
&slighter should be removed to some other house, and the
dideudant took for her a place called Poplar cottage at
Bayswater. This - cottage" was a paltry place, consisting
of two small rooms ; and, in fact, when Lady Smith ar-
rived there she was obliged to ea for mine time in a room
where a number of men were smoking, and her father him-
self was obliged to send her a bedstead. Treatment of this
kind was eery naturally complained of, end she was re-

produced, and on this—the application fur the final order—
it was in court to be proved.

In this view the committee propose, as a first step, that a

BRISTOL, Nov. 28.

Sun AL—The demand has certainly been rather better
this week, both for refined and grocery descriptions ; and
althou2h the transactions reported are not large in amount,
still this arises solely from the indifferent and limited sup-
ply of samples offering, as the trade are evidently disposed
to stock themselves at pre-ent rates ; in prices we do not
quote any alteration from those previously current ; they
are not certainly lower, but any attempt to obtain even the
slightest advance immediately checks business. The refined
market is without alteration. There is still a steady de-
mand for most kinds of refiner's produce at former rates, but
bastards and treacle continue quite a drug.
For Rust, the demand is execedinaly limited, and prices
are with difficulty supported.
Dtueu Vitt:mi.—The clearances for 11. C., both of cur-
rants and raisins, continue to lie satisfactory as compared
with last year, particularly the former article. On currants
ditty has been paid in the last four weeks on 450 tons,
again 4 1.13 tons in the four corresponding weeks of 18.50 ;
and of raisins the reported clearances are 200 tons against
120 in the four we-ks of November, 18i0 ; prices, however,
are still with difficulty supported, and the trade only buy
, for their immediate 'purposes.

even a little mere, although not quite Id. Fair Upland are
placed by the Committee of Brokers at 5111. ; Mobile, at
old.; and Orleans, at 51d. Surat*, also, of the qualities
under fair, are rather more highly valued. Brazils, Eiryp-
tiThs, and long stapled kinds generally, without much
change, although there has been a good deal of attention
paid to some of those sorts, especially Egyptians, with largo
transactions. No doubt the market would now be found
comparatively bare of those sorts, nearly all the pressing
holders having been greatly relieved. The import during
the week has tuien considerable, especially of Surat.. This
supply came in very opportunely, when our stocks were
sinking too low, and it may be hoped will have some indu-
ct= in restraining the rising tendency of our market.
From Manchester ilto accounts continue to be satisfactory;
the comumption large, and the stocks of the manufactured
article upon the whole rather light. 10,220 American,
6,430 `unit, and 740 Egyptian, have been taken on specu-
lation ; and 1,560 American, 720 Stunt, and 30 Egyptian,
for export. Sales of the week, 50,240 bales.
WOOL—Ltaus, Nov. Them has been
more doing in combing wools this week, and sales hove
been large. Prices are firm, with a tendency in favour of
the seller.
