APOSTLE AND ST. MARY ALDEMAILY.

This war a suit in the Ecclesiastical Court, instituted by the
rector of the united parishes of St. Thomas the Apostle and St.
Mary A ideniary, in the City of London, against the churchwardens
and parishioners, for not repairing the parish church. The pa..
rishiohers of St. Thomas the Apostle had not defended themselves,
but for those of St. Mary Aldematy it was pleaded, that though
they had always repaired the chancel, the rector was bound to repair
the church. To this plea a replication was made by the rector,
that from time immemorial both the church and the chancel had
bet n repaired by the parishioners. On this replication issue was
joined. On a fottlitr day, during this term, a rule was obtained by
Nr.. calling upon the rector to show cause why a writ of
prohibition should not issue to restrain the Erclesiastital Court
trait proceeding, in order that the plea might be tried at common
Law.

This day 1)r. ADa If!1, for °he rector, argued at great length for
the Mschargc of the rule. Ile contended that the Ecclesiastical
l'ourt had always been held competent to try the existence of a ens-
tem not essentially ridiculous or contrary to reason. In support
of his argument the learned civilian quoted a great number of
CAWS.

Mr. GasELEE and Mr. G. MARRIOTT followed on the same
aide.

?tr. AAAAA TT then rose to reply. Having proceeded for
sometime, the Learned Counsel we. interrupted by the Court, who
deterred the further consideration of the rule.

At three o'clock Mr. Justice Bayley withdrew.
A few cases of no interest were afterwards heard.

ARCHES COURT, MONDIY, MAY 24.

(Before Sir Jolts Sic :tom—)

TOE OFFICE. OF JUDGE PIIO3:OTED PALMER r. ItOFFEY.
Dr. LUSIIIICGTON, for the promotion, having concluded his
arguments on the last sitting of the Court, this muroing,
Dr..l EN %En, on the part of the accused, addressed the Court
at some length, anti proceeded to exviline the evidence produced, j
for the purpose of substantiating the charges made, and contended
that they were not proved. But it the Court should think them
nroved so clearly as to induce it to &tide in favour of the primmer,
he contended that, from the manner in which these proceedings
had been carried on, his client ought not in be at whole of the
expense, which would be excessively heavy from their nature.
Dr. Pit r.t.IMOnE commenced, on the sate.e side, by observing,
that he was of opinion a question might be raised as to whether
j the Court had jurisdiction io the present use; for he contended
that it was strictly out of the meaning of the statute under which
these proceedings were instituted. 'fhe parish of Newington had
been fora considerable time divided and disturbed by two distinct
parties, and nothing else could pessibly be anticipated than that
upon an election for parish officers there would be a great deal of
violent conversation. From the testimony of the Rector, instead
of this one person cited, above ought to have been proceeded
against in point of Eti,ness, upon the charge of brawling; for
when the Rector was applied to send for a constable, he replied,
that the meeting was carried on in a most irregular way, and that
if one person was taken into custody the whole were liable, the
whole being culpable.
The Jr Finn then proceeded to pronounce judgment to the fol-
lowing edit-Li—This suit, he said, was sent there for the investi-
gation of a riot and brawl, committed in the parish church of St.
Mary, Newington. by one of the churchwardens, named Richard
Roffey, and the oftia, of Judge was promoted by Samuel Palmer,
described as another churchwarden; and for the occasion of such
proceedings the Court could not but deeply regret.
The farts of the case were shortly these: —On Tuesday, the Ist
of April, the parties met in the parssh church, and the Rev.
31r. ( Mslow took the chair. Ile instantly appointed 31r. Roffey
his warden for the ensuing year. .Me. Refliy being somewhat
obnoxious to many of the parishioners, his appointment stirred up
an angry feeling. Mr. Palmer and Mr. Junes were put in nomi-
nation. A shear of hands was declared in favour of 31r. Palmer,
and the friends of 31r. Jones demanded a poll--the polling corn.
menced, but for the purpose of tiring out the meeting, one party
refused to poll, and it was urged that the poll could nut be closed
if one vote an hour was polled. When a poll is carried on in a sacred
edifice, there ought to he that due adherence to decency, which the
solemnity of the place calls for, and here he must beg to differ
from the sentiments of the Learned Gentleman (Dr. Phillimore)
upon this head, when he stated that it sill{ natural to expect that
violent expressions would be used. If he was correct in the law.
both parties were culpable. The Learned Judge concluded, by
ordering that Richard Beffey should be suspended from entering
the church for the space of one month, and with respect to costs
they followed almost as a matter of course, and as the Court did
not see any thing to induce it to mitigate them, it was bound to
compel the accrued to pay the whole.
The Cot UT then proceeded to hear the arguments ia a similar
case, promoted by the same person against Tijom

TATTERSALL'S, MAT 24.

This, indeed. was s gay day, and we do not recollect the room to
have been so fully attended for a long time by sporting characters
of every description. The usual business of paying and receiving
after the Newmarket Meeting was soon and pleasantly gone
through. The betting changed very often on the Derby and Oaks,
and it will, no doubt, materially fluctuate every day until the re-
sult of those stakes next week ; and as to as we can judge of the
present state of odds, at the close of the room, they will bs fogad
as under:—

TII Mr ka A I N.—The time of year is approaching in
which cattle are liable to the murrain. The following pre.
scription of an experienced farmer may not he unacceptable
to some of cur readers:—`• What the animal is visited by
a swellin,f, in the throat, accompanied with a giddim ss and
stiff mek, which arc always the symptoms of the con-
tagion, and which, if not loak,al to, will soon produce,
death, pla..e it inn well littered stall, with its head fixed
by a halt r, in a poaition to admit the steam Runt a tub of
boiling rain water up its nostrils, for atm hour, night and
morning: farther, drench it, for six successive mornings,
with three ounces of glanher salts dissolved in a pint or a
pint am el a ialf of gruel. If the disuse he taken in time,
this treatmnt will generally abate the inflammation of the
blood, and raluec the swelling in the throat, but leave the
animal in a very weak state, from which it will lie soon re-
covered, by being first fed with warm mashes and gruel
without salt (a sufficient quantity of which, to support
nature, must be forced upon it, a hile being purged) and
then with ground oats, or good clover or meadow hay.
Though this remedy has not been infallible, it has per.
formed many extraordinary cures.
