CIITID lIT TN{ Luso* I—This wee an notion of eressast on
a lease. The breeches assigned were, that the filefiemlenif
neglected to repair certain premises in pursuance of his
covenant. Plea, that although the defendant had signed
and sealed the lease, the plaintiff had, in point of feet, seem
executed it, and that the defendant never entered apes er
enjoyed the premises during the term granted by the lame.
To that plea the plaintiff demurred ; end the question rased
was, whether the lessee was liable upon the covenants of a
lease (such covenants running with the land), although the
lease was
having been argued at length some time ago. Mr. Baron
Parke now delivered judgment. There would perhaps
have hem little difficulty in deciding the question raised
if it had net been for a decision of the Court of Queen's
Bench upon a similar triint, which was raised in the cue of
" Crooch r. Goodman" (Q. B. Reports, p. 580). In that
case it was held that the want of execution by lessors was
not such a failure of consideration as to form a sedieient
answer to an action of covenant. But there, it appeared that
the lessee had entered and enjnyed the land during the ends*
term. The Court of Queen's Bench took an equitable view
of all the circumstances, and held that the term was baud
by the covenants contained in the lease. In the case Walt
consideration it explicitly appeared, that the defendant had I
never entered or enjoyed the premises doting the term. Tles
1 general principle should therefore apply, that where DO lease
had been executed be the lessor, no term was crested, est
of which the covenants with respect to which it was
sought to hold the defendant responsible could arks.
There was a total failure of consideration for the lessee's ew
ecution of the lease, and therefore he was not bound by his
signature or seal. For those reasons judgmest was ordered
to be eatered for the defendant.
TOVNBES T. BROWNS (CLINII).—TITHIS—MODVS.
Mr. Baron Parke delivered judgment in this case, which was
recently argued. The question wax, whether an annual
payment of 801. in lieu of tithes was a good modus which
might be set up as against the incumbent under 3 & 4 Will.
IV., c. 100.—It appeared by a terrier produced in 182'2 thatt

doned certain rights of common as wall as tithes for the eons.
position made, which showed it was not a modus.—The
courtfwenof opinion that as the 80i. a year had been paid
and received more than 60 years, it would not be right to
give effect to a terrier produced in 1822. They therefore
held that the alleged payment was made expressly as a
mocha, and as a modus only. It was also argued that the
rector had consented is writing fo reeeive a composition,
(ohs on,
which had the effect of depriving the tithe-payers o
nefit of the set. There was no evidence of such a writing,
sad the modes having been fully established, judgment
should be entered fee the plaintiff.

ADMIRALTY COURT.—Yaaranna2.
BON* Dz.
THE THOMAS WOETHINO=LIMOES.-11RS was an
action brought by the master of the above vessel, for wages,
against the assignees of the late owners, Messrs. Barton,
leanr, and Iligginoon, merchants, of Liverpool. It ap-
pendthat this vessel was laden with male, and destined to
. The master was instructed by the owners, on die-
'barging the coals, to take in a cargo of sugar. The coals
were discharged at Bahia, bat the agents there, Mews.
Lyon and Burn, having heard that the ownenhad suspended
payment, declined freighting the rural with • cargo of
auger OE their owe account, and wrote to the Liver-
pool house, that in consequence of the depreciation
of colonial produce in the English markets, they thought
it advisable to send a height on socount of other shippers. A
cargo of sugar was then token in on account of a mercantile
house at Bahia, for the port of Hamburg, and before the
ship sailed the captain in conjunction with the agents,
settled for the freight, carrying the sem psid (6001.) to the
credit of Messer's. , lrlam, and Iligginson, the agents
having a claim upon that firm at the time.—Dr. Addams and
Dr. Robinson, on the part of James Ross, the master, stated
they knew of no law, or case, which could give power to the
owners of a vessel to forfeit the wages of a captain ; but the
act of 7 & S Vie., chap. 12, gave power to canine and
mariners to come into this court and sue far wages. The in-
structions given to the captain were merely, " to take care of
the ship for the benefit of the owners.' The instruction
to dispose of the ship and send home a cargo of sugar
wee given to the agents, and the captain was not respectable.
The Queen's Advocate contended that the master was liable
for the neglect of his instructions. In this sass he had taken
a freight bound for Hamburg, and settled for that freight
not
be-
fore the ship sailed, when, in fact, the heightage was
due until the voyage had been performed. He, therefore,
acted in collation with the ant nta, by which they became
benefited to the prejudice of the magnets, who were, under
the eircumstances, entitled to withhold the wages.— Dr.
Twise, on the same side, referred to the act of Victoria and
Justice Storey's book of the law in those cases.—The court,
in giving judgment, said that it would give power to counsel
to amend the allegations if they could prove that the master
had colluded with the spans ; but, if they could not, it
would at once declare for the non forfeiture of the wag. s.—
The Queen's Advocate asked for time to consult with the
parties, to know if such a proof could be adduced.
TEE ELIZABETH MART Alll4.—SALv•oz.—lly. Addams
said this was a suit instituted for salvage. On the 16th Oct.,
1847, the Sarah fell in with the Elisabeth Mary Ann, in
great distress, having but one man on board, The Elisabeth
Mary Ann had come into collision with a vessel called the
Flirt, on board of which the whole of the crew, being in a
state of greet excitement, jumped, leaving cooly the mate on
board the Elizabeth Mary Ann, which was valued at 1,6001.
The muter of the Sarah then put three hands on board, and
conducted her into the port of Almeria, on the south coast of
Spain. The parties now claimed salvage.—Dr. Cartels fol-
lowed on the same side.—Dr. Haggard argued, in opposi.
tion, that the services performed were of a very trilling
nature, and did not merit a high amount of salvage.—The
court adjudged 1201.
THE LADY KIINNAWAY.—SALVAGE.—Dr. Addams was
heard on the part of the owners and crew of two Danish
vessels, which, on the 19th November, fell in with the Lady
Runaway, after she had been abandoned by her crew, in
the Bay of Biscay, the sea rolling heavily at the time. The
salvors placed six men on board, who remained until the
24th, when H.M.'t ship the Dolphin_ came up and placed
seven men and a midshipman on ird. These now clamed
ae salvors with the crews of the Danish vessels. A govern-
ment steamer and a pilot cutter subsequently rendered ser-
vices to the Lady liennaway : they also chimed as salvors.
—The Queen's Advocate, on the part of the owners, did not
dispute the claims of the crews of the Danish vessels as
salvors, but the other arties were only entitled
to remuneration for services, and not as eel on.
A small sum would meet the justice of the cam—
Dr. Addams, Dr. Haggard, Dr. Harding, Dr. Hayford, and
Dr. Titus, were severally heard on the part of the different
claimants. The value of the ship was estimated at 14,6161.—
The Court, in giving judgment, said, it would decide this
case according to the law of England, without reference to
the laws of Denmark. There could be no doubt that the
owners and crews of the Danish vessels were the principal
salvors. The commander of the ship Dolphin had exercised
sound judgment by sending seven seamen on board, and
their services deserved consideration. It would therefore
award 4,0001. to the two Daniell versals, 1,6001. to tile Dol
phis, ri serving the disposition as to the divisions to a future
day, as it had the power to disperse of 1,0004 of the 1,6001. ,•
but, if it were not ,enabled to do this. it could
award 1501. to each of the eight men who were
placed by the captain of the Dolphin on board of the
Lady Rensaway. Next before the court • ere the owners
of the Plymouth pilot boat, but their claim was of a minor
character, as they had only towed the vessel into Plymouth
harbour, foe which the court would award 501. The Confi-
snot steamer had bees mat out to reader assistance, the
commander having been informed the Lady Kennaway re-
quired assistance. The court felt this was a proper duty and
a very proper exercise of the admiral's power in thus acting.
She went out on the 29th of November, but did not fall in
with the Lady Kennaway until the 2nd December, yet, for
these services, the court felt it its duty to award the sum of
2001. Tise ordinary ezpenses to the salvors were also awarded.
Dr. Twigs applied to the court for the expenses incurred by
the receiver of the droits of admiralty in taking care of the
Lady Heonaway.—The court said if they had been lawfully
incurred it would isles its moaitioa to the owners to indem-
-4v the receiver.

front of the Dar at the time, and when Mr. Mathews cried
out to hit wile that the silver was stolen, they went away.
It appeared that on the following Sunday the prisoners got
two sovereigns foe two pounds' worth of silver, and when
taken into weedy, Regan denied that he knew Quinlan at
ell, or that be lad bees at the public home on the day in
easertica.--Xr. Payne defended the primmer.. He stated
that they bad for some years been in the St.
Giles Ragged Retool, and had undergone an ex
animation- by the government officers, who had cer-
tified that they wen properly quelilled to be sent
out to Arawelia, is pursuance of the plan of which Lord
Ashley was the originator. The keened counsel argued
that the prosecutor and hia wife had given different accounts
of the areametioe, and, taking into censideratioe the fact that
when before the magistrates the prisoners auserted that the
silver they had changed they had been saving up to take
with them to Australia, the jury could not u maims men
convict the rimers—In summing up, Mr. Serj. Atoms
highly eulogoed the plan which the government bed adopted
in reference to the clue to which these boys belonged.—The
jury acquitted the prisonen,when Mr. Gent, the secretary to
the Bagged Scheel Union, and Mr. Williams, the secretary
to the Bt. Oils, Bugged School, who were in attendance,
promised to use them endeavours to get the prisoners sent
out to Australia.

that it was a good concern, and no doubt could exist as to
their getting on very comfortably thereafter marriage, which

ble ; no suspicion whatever was entertained as to the sin-
cerity of his intentions, but all of a sudden his visits ceased, and
it was then ascertained that he bad rifled the poor g irl's
drawers and boxes of a large quantity of wearing apparel and
other articles. He had also stolen many things belonging
to her sister and her father, and was ultimately captured,
and a number of Cuplicates relating to • portion of the
stolen property were found upon him. Some pawnbrokers
were now in attendance, and the articles produced by
them were identified as having been taken fr,.m
Mr. Marshall's house in the manner above stated ;
,the value of them was about 154. Another charge
was preferred by Mn. Mary Ann Bale. In this case
it was shown that, in the early part of last
as walk-
month,
Mrs. Harman, of Milton-street, Dorset-square, w
I bye along the New-road for the purpose of looking
out for another residence, when she happened to meet with
the prisoner, with whom she had some conversation upon
the subject, as lie alleged to her that be was • house-agent,
and that there were two or three honors at Bayswater of
which he had the letting. She (Mrs. H.) gave him her card.
sad on the next Monday he called upon lier at her house,
when be saw Mrs. Bale, who was then OS a visit to her,

[SOUTHWARK —ATTEMPT TO exit. Cievonorouw.—
H. Ley was charged with dining chloroform for sale.—
Guns Chitty stated that, being in a public-house opposite
ee the wort, the accused walked in, and after some time
witness saw him produce a small phial, and, showing it to a
man who happened to be there at the time. he said,. If you
put two or three drops of the liquid contained in this bottle
on a handkerchief, and then apply it to any person's nose it
will cook their hash for half an hour." The man to whom
the above words were addressed left the house, and
witness then saw the accused exhibit the bottle contain-
ing the liquid to the barman, and told him he would not
part with it under ten guineas. Witness added that, having
read in the newspapers of the dangerous qualities of chief°-
, form, and under the impression that the person who
brought it there wanted to get a customer for it, he considered
1 kltis duty to give information of what had transpired.—
Mr. Cottingham, to the uccueed: Pray, what are you ? Ac-
I owed : I ass a literary man. My father is a magistrate for
Devonshire and Cornwall, but Osill4 to unforeseen circum-
Moen I have been much reduced of late, and although at
ewe period I was connected with a daily newspaper, I am
SOW compelled to resort to other means or obtaining • liveli-
hood, and beg to assure your worship that it never entered
into my mind to dispose of the article in that bottle. The
accused added that he bought it of a druggist, from whom
he was in the habit of buying opium, wh.ch he used for a
disease under which he autfered.—Mr. Cottingham said that
upon hearing the explanation given by the accused, he did
not believe his intention was to sell such an article there.
Ile, however, trusted he now saw the imprudence of his con-
duct. l'he magistrate detained the chloroform and dis-
charged the prisoner.
THAMES.—CONFLICT WITII RIVER THIEVES.—T.
Johnson, with several aliases, and J. Collins, were charged
with being found on the river Thames with intent to com-
mit a felony, and also with assaulting and wounding In-
spector Fox of the river police, and Symons, one of his
men.—lnspector Fos stated that that morning, on the south
shore, near East-lane, he hear .1 cries for the police, and he
and the two men in his boat instantly proceeded towards
l)ownet's Upper Wharf at Wapping. A voice crying
out "they are gone downwards," he rowed to Union-
stairs, where he saw two men getting out of • boat on to
one of the barges. The inspector seized the prisoner Col-
lins, whom he gave in charge to one of his men, whilst
Symons. another constable, went in pursuit of John-
son. Before a minute elapsed the inspector heard
Symnin cry out, 't bLeder, master, he's murdering me,
help me for God's sake, he has some weapon." When the
inspector got to the spot he saw Symons down and the
prisoner Johnson over him, striking him about the head and
body with a life.preserver. The moment Johns ,n saw
the inspector he left Symons and struck Fez
about the bead, inflicting several severe blows which
nearly rendered him insensible. Ile, however, seized held of
the prisoner, who was secured after considerable difficulty,
some of the land police coming to assist. Symons wiz cl
Johnson ea board the barge, when the latter instantly struck
him down with a life preserver. He then beat the constable
most unmercifully no the head and all over the body. When
the inspector came to Symons's assistance, the prisoner said,
" You have escaped me now, but when I am over this, I'll
get a pistol and blow your brains out."—John Mtlieozie,
muter of a vessel called the Swift, heard tootsteps in his
(whin about one o'clock that morning, and a person appa-
rently about to strike • light. Ile asked, " Who is there ?"
to which some one replied, "'Tin me." Thinking it was
the mate, he said, " Is it you, Willie ?" to which the mate,
who was roused by this tome, replied, " No, muter ; they
are thieves." They both got up, and in groping about,
grasped each other. Finding their mistake, they made
towards the companion ladder, where they saw a person,
whom witness believed to be the prisoner Johnson,
though he could not swear to him, was standing at the
top, and in • threatening attitude brandishing a life-pre-
server. Witness called loudly for the police, which alarmed
the men forward, who came running to his assistance, when
two fellows, one of whom witness still believed to be the pri-
soner Johnson, made towards the aide where a third parson
(not in custody) was waiting in • boat. As they rowed from
the side witness matched a handspike from one of his men
who came aft and flung it into the boat at them. He mined
nothing from the venal, but he found a fur cap, which one
of the parties must have left behind, in hie cabin.—Johnson,
That's my cap ; Potter, the constable, knows it.—Police-
constable Potter said he saw the two prisoners, with 'nether
man named Rowley Brien, who he was sure was the person
who had escaped, at the Bull's Head public house,
on the previous night, when he wore the cap which was
subsequently
.found on board the Swift. Hearing the pri-
soners were in custody, he went to see them that morning
at the station-house, and asked what brought them then.
Johnson said, " We were in • row last night, but they caa't
give us more than a . drag ' for it."—Mr. Yardley 1 What
is a . drag " ?—Potter : Three months, sir. "We struck
the sitter (the inspector who sits in the boat) with
a ' noddy ' (meaning the life-preserver, which was a
tremendous weapon, made of gotta percha, and loaded with
• heavy bullet at one end) over the head. I bought it for
you, Charley, a fortnight ado, and, when you came into the
Bari Head, last night, I gave it to a girl, for I knew if you
found it on me you'd give me a' drag ; but you brought
it on yourself, for what business have you to watch me to see
if I'd come ashore with any swag " (Laughter.)—Potter
