Paris Papers of Sunday last have arrived at our

It inopears that in the indirect contributions, as
was stated in our Paper of yesterday. there was a
disposable races. of 37,897,025 fr. The Chambe►
has ile.ermineil that iu this excess a reduction
should be made to the amount of 20,06.1,147 fr.
in the door, window, and land taxes, and that ti
further remission of 6.885,147 fr. should be made
to thirty-five departments most oppressed by
taxation. The rents' g sum of 8,640,000 1,. was
provisionally ►etuitted in the reduction of the lund

• Thi• rase came before the Court iu the shape br
Petiliqo, hut in (Act it was a re-bearing of the
cattse.

Mr. BELL. Counsel for the Plointiff, stated, that
this `Oa, a question which arose out of the construe-
lion of the will of the late Sir George' Saville, who
was the owner of Rafl'or.l Atihey, in the county of
Nottingliain, and Saville house, in Leicester:.
square. The testator, by his will, bequeathed
los property to the second son of his sister, then
Lilly • ticarhoroogha with this proviso, that if lever
he was to become Lord Scorborougli, by his elder
bhithrr dying *without issue, that then the next
youngest brother of his sister, Lady Scarborough,
should take possession, 'so as the testator's prociiity
should not be merged in the estate of the Scar.
liorough t4mily. The testator vested his estate iu
trustees, tor the payment of his debts, subject to
annuity of 4001. per annum to the present Lord
Scarborough, the *eroild son of the then Lady
Scarborough, who had at that time taken the
name of Leintle;., and that when the testator's
debts should he reduced to SC,OOOI. that Mr.
Lumley should be put in possession 4.f the
resits and profits of the Mate. The testator also
devised the family pictures fur the use or Mr. Lum-
ley. to go with his estates. The trustees under
the will of the testator had the power of disposing
of any part of the estates for the payment of his
debts, reserving the remainder to the second son
of his sister, who was not Lord Scarborough. Mr.
Lumley came pos*essed of thb estates under the
will of the testator, but by the death of his elder
brother lie was created Lord Scarborough. The
present Plaintiff, his brother, entitled it; succession
to the estate of the leitator, filed lois bill against
the Defendant to recover the personal property hr
received under the will of the testator, when
isiue was joined in that cause. The Court decreed
that the family pictures were heir-looms, but
that the other personal property was not. The
present Petition prayed that the Court would re-
vise its judgment. The Learned Counsel con-
tended. that it was the intentiod of the testator that
all his !plate, furniture. &c. were to go down to the
next possessor merely for his use while in posses-
sion, and then to he handed over to the next heir.
If the pictures were considered by the Court as
heir-looms, he was at a loss to know why ;he other
personal property should not be considered in the
same light. If the testator dirt not mean to have
his paintings floating through the world, and ex-
hibited in broker's shops. it was not natural to sup•
pose he would wish his plate, &c. to be put in that
situation. Under these considerations, he had no
doubt belt ins Honour would
Mr. Peres followed on the same side.
Sir A. PIGGOTT. Counsel for the Noble Deferi-
drat, contended that the first heir coming into
possession under the testator's will, bad a right to
sweep away all the personal property. It was not
to be 'opposed that he should afterwards have to
account for every horse that died. or every crock of
pickles or preserves that had been' used by him
while in possession. His client admitted that the
paintings were heir-looms, but denied that any
other part of the personal property was intended to be
such by the testator. He therefore had no doubt but
his Honour would dismiss the Petition with costs.

Mr. HEALD followed oo the same side.

Mr. BELL replied.
The MASTER of the Roffs observed, that he
looked at the will of the testator in the tame way
that a Court of Equity always ought, to see whe-
ther the testator knew what he was doing when be
made it. He saw no reason to make him believe
that the testator was not aware of what the effects
of his will would be. Theo it was only for lino to
construe it according to the words of the will, and
his cntiotruenoo was, that the testator only meant
the family paintings to go down as htir•looms, and
that the remainder was to be considered merely as
personal property. This was his opinion at present :
however he would ►eat over the pleadings in the
bause, and if he found any thing to alter his °pi.
Mem, lie would mention it on a future day.

WF.STININSTEK ELECTION.
.111:WELL V. CROWDEN AND WILcHAW.

Mr. ESPINASSX opened the pleadings. Tht de-
claration set forth, that, on the 3,1 of March. 1919,
a number of persons riotously and tumultuously
assembled in the parish of St. Paul's, Cotent-gar-
den. and, being so assembled together. assailed
the house of the Plaintiff. which they injured end
damaged, by throwing atones at the windows' donra.
ace. The action Was brought against the Dern,.
dents as inhabitants of the hundred of Omni ston.
in which the city of Westminster is situated, to
recover compensation in damages for the injury
sustained. The Defendants pleaded that they
were not liable.

Mr. SCARLETT Stettd, that the present action
was brought under the statute of the 57th of his
Majesty, which was passed for the purpose of ren.
dering more effectual several former statutes, by
which the inhabitants of every hundred, where any
riotous or tumultuous assemblage of persons pro.
teedell to commit act' of violence, mid damaged
the property of any individual, were made liable for
the injuty so suetitmed from their illegal conduct.
The principle of the law was me ancient as the time of
king A lfred ; and bad, at later periods, found its way
lido different Acts of Parliament. but it tees only
necessary for him to trouble the Jury with the later
statutes. By the 57th of Gen. 111. cap. lg, it was
enacted, that, '• in any case where any houses,
shops, ur buildings whatsoever, or any part thereof,
shall be devtroyed, or in any wanner damaged or
injured, or 6141 furniture. googly, or commoditills
therein. be injured. destroyed, demoted. or taken

of person', the inhabitant, of the city. lowa, or

indifferent as to the mischief they did' to the properly
of others.. The respectable inhabitants could nut be
identified with those riotous acts, fur w bitterer

duct themselves peaceably.
,'The rabble, who might
at soil; time be lured fdr half-a-crown te.lwairl, en-
raged that the pupolaridaudithate laid been thrown
out, determined to Sedge themselves on the frieiliti

eesaful candidate so Ise chaired ; which err. moue

to preserve the peaces awl in the effort they were
**rioted by the friends of Mr.. Lamb. Many gen-
tlemen, who Were friendly to Mr. Lamb, assembled
tame the hosting., in the. hope of keeping the mob
tiff; but all their exertions failed, for it appeared to
be the settled determinetion of the rabble to
commit violence. It was soul, in former
that, at an Irish election, the unsisccessful can-
didate was always chaired, and the successfel
condidate was obliged to fly fur his life. The
Westminster election terminated in nearly a slim-
ler way. The Learned Counsel did inn exactly
know whether MG ilutiltouse was chaired—hut it
wail most certain that Mr. Lamb was obliged to fly
for his life. Mr. Jewell, the PlB4lllo*, was owner
of a house in Henrietta-.treat, where Mr. Latisli'a
central Committee held their ineresigs. To dila
house there was a back passage, through Coven:-
garden church-yard, from the hiestitigs. When
the conduct of the mob became slinigerously
Mr. Lamb found it necessary to retreat rrOtit the
hustings by this back passage. When the populace
found that he had escaped, they aiseintoled readout
Mr. Jewell'. house. They broke his wiaoduii.-:
attempted to destroy his doori-:-and endrieV;,ined
to tear up the iroii rails for the purpose of using
them as instruments of offence. They were idit
dispersed Mild a detachisesit of the horse guardi
arrived and deterred theta from further violence:
The Jury would, however, hear, that, isi the coarse
of the evening, the mob pursued a similar Ike
of conduct; and attacked Iseenti other houses.
A well-organised mob (he regretted, for the sake
of public justice, that the leader was not kttowii)
assailed the residences of several or filr: Lamb's
friends. About *mu o'clock its the eieuing
they returned to the charge et Mr. Jewell's
house—but the constables having mustered in
great force, farther misthief tkr* prevented. The
danisge done amounted to 441. 4.. ed. which he
would- prove by the different ,sersons employed to
repair the isijury. The Defendants were nominelle
so, and, thould a verdict be found for the Plaintiff,
the damages would be assessed on the hundred.
S. Lee, one of the tax.collectois of St. Paul's,
Covent-garden, prated, that, on the 3d of March,
1319, the Plaintiff was an inhabitant of that parish,
paying bilges.

J. J. Scholes. the assistant to Mr. Ireland, who
inspected the premises after the attack. proved the
amount of the damage.
Mr. GAZELES; for the Defendants. stated, that.
