Serjiant Sfitrrtr-ni) chewed cause against a con-
ditional rule Obtained by Serjeant BAYLICY, why
the iuterlocutory judgment obtained in this case
should not be set aside and the costs paid. It was
an aSion to recover t 6,0001. the balance remaining
from 36,0001. which the Defendant was to have
paid for the purchase of an estate. 'twenty thou-
sand pounds had been paid down, and his Lordship
obtained possession, but ; cliff:fence arising, the
present action was brought: Some time was, taken
up wit:i the arguments on buil sides, Serjeant Le-
it Lan for the Plaintiff contended that the Defend.
ant was nut before the Court, as the gentleman who
appeated for the Kiri of Carhampton was not an
Attorney of the Common Picas. Serjeant e-
t. ev, on the other side, urged that the signing the
judgment acknowledged the validity of the appear-
Alice; but if it did not, he submitted the judgment
must be set aside, it the Cowl would think the De-
fendant had not appeared.

peased for him ; and. at the same bine, expressed a

I arrived before Gina on the Yler, and took possetaion of the
Pettah on the following morning, without nileting with much
opposition. Dining the night of the EV I erehad an eife.;t
gun battery on the North side of the Fort, which a;ipearri to
be the bunt assailable; at nine &deck of the morning of the
45tb, two practicable breaches, within a short distan-e each
other, were made in the wall; of the Fort, and ury sesrmiag
parties were:on the point of advancing, when the g Irri*,lll atilt
to WA tit intimate their wish of surrendering the !;ate.
The terms were quickly ngreld upon. 1 persuittad Otero to

The fort of Gahm stands upon a single hill, which is not eery
high, but is steep and rocky. It is fartirUid all idund on tiie
Pintail, or Eastern side, where the bill ia most slanting, by
three and two walls, the mavntry of which i; good.
The as...ents of the breaches made by my battery were rather
-steep, I, betrayer, have no doubt but that the it's:ann.,: ;lat-
ties woilli hate gained them.

The CO duet Of the Officers and men employed under my
command, on this service, merits as bilia an encomium as I
can bestow; lit all, I hue observed tire most zealous and max-
hies wish to f irrard the public eenrice—and I am particularly
lad .btol tir the assistance I received from Lieutenant, Coloneis
.Coirean allot Lung, Brigadiers commanding i:a the trenches—
:4Mo Captain Powell, commanding the .krti`lery7fnam Cap-
tain Johnson, of the Eugineers—and from Captain Barclay, of
the Pioneers. .
My loss, during the siege, his been trifling. No officer has,
I believe, been wounded. Returns of any ca nalties which
may have occurred, shall hereafter be tranimitt ;as also re•
turns of the military stores and grain fund in the fort.
