WIDNIIO4IT, iUMS 30.

MRS ROTA,. NIORNESE TIIE entrees ow watts v. THE
EARL OF LIVERPOOL MID COUNT MUNSTER.
The Loa° Cataatect.oa, at the sitting of the Conrt hue
day, observed to Sir Artist, Piggott, that on further consi-
deration of this cane, lie was confirm►d in his opinion that
the order he had staled yesterday was the proper one in be
made under all the peculiar circumatatices of the case.
Therefore he prinionaced it to be his order.
IRE ATV/11NET I. F. JOHNSON, EARL ORO,VERSI,
AND THE coavottagtom or TOR CITY OF LOEDJN.
The circumstances of this case we have already reported.
It will be recollected that this waa a motion to iliassolve an
injunction granted to restrain the Defendant,' from em-
bauking or building wharfs un the River Thames, at the
east end of Millwork, opposite AI ilbark.row.
The LORD CIIAKCALLOR—" I find. Mr. Horne, on in-
quiry, that it is not ascertained whether the indietsiseut iu
this case can he tried in the Court of King's Bench at the
Sittings after this Term, but in a few days it as`.l he SWOT-
have, however, found a case, which I think is deci-
sive on the present, that an embankment of a King's high-
way cannot lake place without ass atiteeestent Art of Per-
lianieut for that purpose; when 1 nierition this I acknowledge
myself ignorant of how the charters of the Corporation of
Loudon provide for such a case, or how their construction
sissy vary from ibis principle. If there is nut a chance of .
the indictment being immediately tiled, I will in a few days
come to such a conclusion as will be to the advantage cud
convesierice of all parties." •
Mr. HART paid, that the (Age •Pillkti to by his Lordship
might he decisive on inland highways, but there ought to
be a greater latitude given to highways hordes ing on river•,
for the current of the river might make such ravages that it
would be necessary, at a morneut's notice, to enlarge an
embankment, so as to preveet a whole country from being
inundated. His Lordship would re•coltect an instance which
regarded the river Severn, that by owe of thaw cutivutsione
of mature, which no human foreel gist could provide for, the
bed of the river wan entirely changed.
The LORD CHANCELLOR—u That case certainly is not
in point, without you contend that it is a convulsion of na-
ture that you have employed 100 men to erect this cinbstik-
mail which is complained of as a nuisance."
Mr. HORNE hoped Isis Lordship went.' allow Counsel to
address him on the point he had alluded to.
The Loma CHANICEI.I.Oa.:•" Gerlaioly; but if the indict.
wet can be tried in a few days, it will wanecessary."
Further consideration postpuisial.

might be confirmed. tie stated, lie moved this on the Pe-
tition of the Committee of the lunatic. It wan referred to
Master Courtenay to inquire and report, whether it would be
for the interest of the lunatic, that the Committee should
grant leases of certain tenements in the parish of Chelsea,
belonging ho the lunatic; and the Master, by big report of
the !Ist of the present mouth reported, that it would be
for the benefit of the estate of the lunatic. He (the learned
Counsel) undrintoud that all the parties consented.
The I.oaD Comaccu.ost—" let it be so."

The LORD CHANCELLOR—u Gentlemen of the bar, I be.
lieve, in cases of motions fur new trials, we are all screed
that the grounds rot whirl. the motion is made should be
slated to the Court in thin first instance. therefore let it be
the practice of the Crow for the future"

This was a question as to the nitisii.sibility of a defensive
allegation, brought by Mrs Jane Mnthew ttaruer, the wife,
in answe► to a suit of adultery, preferred by Mgjor Warner,
the ho.lran 1.

The tits of subtheme, pleaded in the lihrl he the husband,

Consietury Court, at York, for the selidtely, wbrie it was
defended by the wife, and dismissed.
A letter from the wife, enclosed in another from Mrs.
Augusta Shipley, her sister, was addrre.eed to Major War-
