In the Court of Queen's Beach yesterday, the long
pending case to try the legality of Mr. John
Reyeolds's election as Lord Meyor was at length de-
cided, the judgment of the court bring against his
election. It will be lac Alectel that the corporation
made a return to the writ of mandamus for the elec-
tion of a new lord mayor to the effect that the office
was already hard. To this return a demurrer was
made by the opponents of Mr. Reynolds. The de-
murrer has been before the court for the last three
terms, and the judgment delivered yesterday was in
favour of it, and against the return. Judge Perrin
did not agree in the lodgment. but delivered no
judgment of his own on the occasion.
The Cork Reporter reiterates its statement about
the Synod of Thurber, in the following terms:
Writ 'Mist: to oar annoonesareat of Sstortay, we can
only say that, marmot assertion pan rely that the deans of
the synod will not be confirmed, we still consider that the
intimation we g ire will be found correct, sod that except
;wasps, some *Mob have no interest for the general public,
the 1104 See will no confirm those deems.

Eight estates were advertised for sale yesterday in
the Encumbered Estates Court, but they were not
each aspmented many attractions for public: compe-
tition.
The estate of Samuel Mannetll, situated in the I
counties of Limerick and Kilkenny, was offered.
The Limerick estate was subdivided, into three lots,
viz.;
.Lot 1, 148 acme, yielding a gross rent of
223 L; lot 2, 92 scree, yielding ditto 196!.; and lot
3. 117 scree, producing a yews rent of 1991., the de-
ductions being a quit reut of 21.185., and a tithe rent
charge of 171.
An application was made to have these three lots
pot up in one, but the commissioners objected
to this course, as also to one C.r adjourning the
sale, on the ground that they should keep
faith with the public, who in such oases were
put to considerable expense and trouble in look-
ing at the property advertim d, and coming there to
bid fur it. Same one having observed that the N 1.41-
ten in Chancery panned a different practice, VA
ere more yielding to applicitions for adjournments,
Commissioner Locgtield said - But how many estates;
do the Misters in Cusecery succeed in soiling in the
year? We are all very well acquainted with the
practice of the ltle•ters' cfli-es, and the consequences
of it on the elle of estates. Toe c iromissioners then
naked if any person present desired the lots to be put
up seperatch, sad a gentleman having replied in the
affirmative, the arm lot was offered, and the bidding*
for :t rose from SOW. to 1,700!., at which they ceased;
but that sum not bring c msidered adequate to the
value of the property, the rile was adjourned.
The si mid lot lid/ then put up. There were
no bidders, and the 000 rt then consented to pet
up the hods in one lot. There was no bidder, flow-
erer, for the estate in this form, and the sale was ad-
journed. The Kilkenny portion of the property
consisted of some houses. which were purchased for
the respective prices of 264 43L, and NW.
