ANCIENT MANXERS.

There are few passages in Dome:defy peculiarly illustrative of
ancient manners, observe the Royal Commissioners on Public
Records in their voluminous,but interesting dissertations, prefacing
their complete publication of that extraordinary survey. Gifts of
lands "de virtu rt restito monaeloorunt" frequently occur. In the
account of the Mar.or of nisi, in Wiltshire, belonging to Ralph de
Mortimer, there is an instance of /midis:fin. three lives. Somerset-
shire is the first county in the survey in which there is mention of
the ordeal. In the second volume of the Survey, the readiness of
claimants to prove by ordeal, or by battle, occurs in a greater
, variety of instances. Land in dower occurs in Gloucestershire,
I among the property of Roger de Laci. In ll'orcestershire.
under Escelie, there is a remarkable instance of a wanraputiee
In Huntingdonshire there Is a reference to a custom still in part
retained, among our Colleges and Corporate Societies. Turchil,
who held Coninctune of the Countess Judith, had also held six
hides of the land of the Abbot of Saint Mary Thorney, for which it
Is said, " Karltatem reddebot," he made an allowance of liquor,
which was drunk at festivals by the religious, in commemoration
of the founders and benefactors, " Hornivier de huNdredo ;" it is
added, " amiss/ quaatsin." The " Poeulam Charitatis," or
graa.cup, it still retained under the same designation in our
Universities. . _

The practice of Ifawking is illustrated by numerous entries. In
' several places, a sum no less than ten pounds is made the optional
payment for a Hawk; and at Worcester, a Norway Hawk Is par-
ticularly specified. Aeries of Hawks are noticed in Buckingham-
shire. "An Aery," says Dr. Nash, " includes not only the nest
or brood, but the place destined for the breeding or training of
Hawks." The liberty of keeping these Aeries was, it appears, in
early times granted as a privilege to some great persons; as in the
Charter of Henry the Third to the Church of fork.

GERMAN PAPERS.

Papers to the 4&1 ult. reached us yesterday. The fo1•
lowing are extracts:—

Coact?, Fab. U.
On the Yid of this month news vu received hire, that Corns
surrendered to the Greeks on the 10th instant. At the same tinfe,
we received from illissolonghl a confirmation of the news of the
taking of the outworks of Lepanto, on which occasion the English
officers of engineers, who are gone to the assistance of the Greeks,
particularly distinguished themselves.
Lord Byron had returned from Tripoli.= to elisotilolol, and
had been everywhere received With honour.
CoxstastYlwortn, Frs. 94.
The armaments in the arsenal and along the channel continue.
and Nerd to announce an active campaign. Meantime it is as-
serted, the M. Mlnalscky has made but little progress in hie ne.
gociation, and some persons prophecy that it may be a long dms
before the desired result is obtained. It is said that the Gre-ks
have again effected a landing near Caraburu, in Macedonia.

Daman, Makers 4.
A ship which has arrived here from Constantinople, after an ea-
tretnely short passage of only forty hours, brings the important,
and for the Porte most alarming, intelligence, that Mohamed Ali
Pacha, Viceroy of Egypt, flu st length thrown aside the mask,
and declared hiir.self independent. It was long ago known in
Constantinople that he meditated great things, and the Porte
therefore tried every means to weaken him, and lately ordered him
to furnish 10.000 men, to combat the Greek insurrection. Moha-
med resolved, instead of complying, to declare himself indepen-
dent, and fur this he has certainly chosen the most favourable
moment. Those alone who are competent to form an idea of the
situation of the Turkish empire, can judge what may be the con-
sequence of this event, respecting which we look for farther parti-
culars. and which may perhaps shake all the eastern provinces of
the empire, not to speak of the situation of the capital itself, which
derives so many supplies from Egypt. We presage that this event
will complete the emancipation of Greece, and give the death blow
to the power of the Porte.

M. Ile St. Chemins, in supporting the amendment approved by
the Commission, recapitedated the general arguments in favour of
the project.
M. Ile La Bourdonnaye supported M. Leroy's original amend-

of the law project. The Hurt. Deputy afterwards proposed a slight
alteration in the amendment, but the proposition was rejected.

which would render all discussion useless. If there was any em-

MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.

In our Wednesday's Paper we gas* so account of a melancholy
accident at Liverpool, by which several reams lost their lives.
The following further particulars are from the Liverpool Advertiser,
received yesterday :
"On Sunday forenoon, about eleven o'clock, as a number of
persona assembled on the east side of the Prince's Dock. Liverpool,
and on a long stage extending to a ship lying the second from the
quay, were watching some boys who were trying to take an empty
bottle out of the water, their accumulated weight broke one of the
under bearers or cross bars which was lashed to the spars, and upon
which the planks rested, and immediately upwards of thirty per.
sons were precipitated into the water. The confusion consequent
upon such an accident, in such a confined situation, may easily be
conceived ; but the greatest exertions being promptly used, with
the active intrepidity of an American seaman, whose name we
could not learn, they were all, except six, rescued from a watery
grtve.
"fhe bodies of those six persons were conveyed to two public.
houses, in Roberts'.street North, where they were attended by
Mr. T. W. Davies, surgeon, St. Paul's-square, who was on the
spot very soon after the accident ; and his exertions succeeded in
restoring the suspended animation of a young man of the name of
Griffiths ; and he also perseveringly, for 'several hours, tried every
means with two of the others, but without success.
"The names of the sufferers are—Peter 11'ilkinson, recently from
Manenester, a volunteer from the Lancashire Militia, going to the
filth regiment, in Ireland ; Richard Thomas, 16, son of one of
the street watchmen ; Thomas Rose, 19, apprenticed to a black-
smith ; John Ainsworth, 19, apprenticed to • cabinet-maker, and
son to one of the police officers • and John Holbert, 16,
.appren.
appren-
ticed to Mr. l'rompton, paper-d:aler, llachelor.street. 1 esterday
an Inquest was held upon them, and a verdict of Accidental Math
was returned in each case.
* The Coroner, Wm. Alolyneux, Esq. particularly noticed the
laudable conduct of the seaman we have mentioned, who will no
doubt receive a suitable reward."

PIRACY.

Extract of a letter from Honduras, dated 17th April,
1824, to a mercantile house in Glasgow:—
" Our trade with the Spaniards, since I wrote last, has
been put an entire stop to by pirates, who infest the coast,
and plunder every English and Spanish vessel they fall in i
with, on the coasting trade, between this and the Gulf of
Dulce, thnoa, &c.. and in case of resistance, murder the
crews, taking such yeast's as suit their purpose. A most
worthy and respectable gentleman was munlered a few
days ago, on board the schooner George Agnes, on the
Spanish coast near Omos, and it is feared all the rest of the
' crew shared the same fate, except two (who jumped over-
board on seeing Mr. cut down). Of the two who
jumped overboard, one was drowned, and the other reached
the shore, who brought the intelligence. These ruffians
also land and plunder the poor people who have planta-
tions on the coast ; and on one of these occasions shot the
person to whom the provision ground belonged."

From returns mode to the House Or Commons in the present

Canal existed, i.:10/11 tons I,e:hi alumni of necessity have passed

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, SATURDAY, MAY I.

EGERTON T. TOMMY.
This was an action for work and labour. The plaintiff is a car-
' renter ; the defendant a publican. The latter had entered on a
' building speculation in Spa-fields, and among other houses he built
there was one which he was desirous of fitting up as a butcher's
shop. Ile applied to the plaintiff to effect this object; he asked
the plaintiff what would be the charge, and the plaintiff replied
twenty-three pounds. The defendant then desired that the work
might be done, and it was done accordingly in a workman-like man-
ner. Application was made to the defendant for payment, but he
refused, and hence the prosecution.
Witnesses were called to prove the fact of the defendant having
f yen the order for the work, and the plaintiff having accomplished
it in a substantial manner, and at a moderate charge.
For the defendant it was contended, that the contract entered into
for the work in question was with a man of the name of Chip, and
not with Mr. Egertnn, the plaintiff; and that, in point of fact,
Chip had received the money. In all events, it was urged, that
if Egerton had any thing to do with the business, he was jointly
connected with Chip, and therefore the action, if brought at all,
ought to have been brought in their joint names.
Evidence having been called to prove these facts, the question
went to the Jury as to whether the bargain was with Egerton only,
or with Chip and Egerton jointly.
The Jury was of opinion that it was a joint contract, and found
a verdict for the defendant.
