Far Nett Vov "tea: or Discovrar.—News has just been
received in France from the maritime expedition of disco-

ni.mth of May 1823. They contain interesting details on
nautical and magnetical observations, anti the discovery of
ilfour islands, to which have been given the names of Cler-I
wool-Tonnerre, Losionges Angier, and Freund. They
are part of what the French call the Dangerous Archipe-
lago. The inhabitants are extremely distrustful, and no,
communication could be had with them. having bevii
driven off by stress of weather, they repaired to Otsheite,
and perceived the happy changes in the morals of that
island since the introduction of Christianity. A few years
have driven out idolatry, human sacrifices, polygamy,
child-murder, &c. Nothing equals the fervour of the new

• iIIOARD Or EXCISE, Moseias, 31aitrs 211.
William lingrnan, tallow.chandler, of Shoemakers'-row, Black-
friars, appeared before the Commissioners, upon an informs.
tion charging him with having proceeded to make dipped candles
upon his premises, without having given notice thereof to the
l.zeite. There were several other counts in the information, the
fun penalties upon which amounted to several hundred pounds.
The COURT pronounced judgment upon the first count, the full
penalty of 301.
William Renton and Peter il,nton were summoned to appear to
answer for having worked a private candle manufactory in Charles-
street, Southwark.
The officers entered at the window. Renton escaped.
Peter was taken, and charged at Union-Kill office, when it was
proved that the whole apparatus was found in operation on the pre-
invies. Peter said he was hired to work, and was tined 21.11. by the
3laglstrates.
Upon the part of Peter Renton it was urged that there was no
evidence that he was a principal ; that in fact he was merely a
servant, and had hien found as such, and that such punishment
was adequate to the offence.
Mr. 31ror r.w represented the necessity ofconvicting Peter Renton,
notwithstanding his conviction before the Magistrates. In fact,
Peter had a chandler's shop, and was dealing in the very article.
The Solicitor fur Peter Renton said that WWI no offence.
. .

.
Mr. MAI' w.—But that fact, coupled with the fact that he is an
older man than Wm. Renton, will weigh with the Board in the
quevtion whether or not he was a principal.
The Commissionersain there was no proof either way, and
Mr. MArEw really thought Peter ought to be convicted as well
as William.

The Board thought otherwise. They thought that Peter
had been sufficiently punished, and therefore di bbbb limed the cane
as tn him.

Renton, who did not appear either personally or by his
Solicitor, was lined 601.

This was an action for the use and occupation of a house, N 0.16,
Short-street, Lambeth, for half a year, at 401. per annum.
Mr. ADOLPHUS and Mr. CHITTY conducted the plaintiff's
case. and Mr. (1 uarrY the defendant's.
It appeared in evidence that, during a period of about five months,
the defendant (an attorney) lived in the plaintiff's house with a
young woman named Blake, by the name of Mr. and Mrs. White.
Prior and subsequent to that time, they had lived together by the
same name in several other houses, and had a family of young
children. Credit was given for one pound paid as a deposit.
The defence set up was, that although the defendant and the lady
did live together by the name of Mr. and Mrs. White in several
other pieces, still, in this instance, the house had been taken solely
by Mrs. White, without any privity between the defendant and the
plaintiff
Mrs. White, alias Blake, was called to prove this defence, and
she swore that she alone had taken the house, and that Mr.
Wortham had nothing to do with it. Mr. Waltham lived with
his uncle in Castle-street, Holborn, and only visited her occasion-
ally. During the period of ber occupation of the house, the defend-
ant was ill and out of town, but since then she had lived, and
now does live with him, by the name of Mr. and Mrs. White, in
Isabella-street, Christ-church.
