MARCH 12.-I'he business oil the civil side coin-
otmced this morning before Mr. Boon Wood. Six
CJSCS were disposed of to-day. The only case worthy of
notice was

WILLIS U. THE REV. SIR H is. DUDLEY, BART.
This was an action of special ascumpsit, to recover the
•alue of certain (arming stocK, agreed to be taken fioin
the plaint:lf (at the valuation or Iwo appraisers). as the
ouigoing tenant of a farm called Mickley, ne it Bradwell,
valued at 931. lbs. The defendant hail pail into court
the suta of 571. lOS. 101.1111011 the general money counts.
Mr. Alarryat t and Mr. Chitty coutlucted the plaintiff's
ease. and Mr. Gurney and Mr. 11. J. Stephen the defen-
data's.

The whole case turned upon the construction of the
lease grained to the plaintiff of the fans in question. by
which it appeared that he had covenanted to expend and
lay out in the last year ofhis tenancy the straw, &c. pro-
thwed from the; crops in the last year. The subject of
the plaintifl's claim wa♦ the straw, Ice. produced in that
year, which it was alleged the defendant had agreed to
pay fur when he quitted the farm, but
Alr.Bsron Wood was of opinion, that the case for the
plaintiff was concluded, by the WWI of the COVCO4III,
and therefore directed a nottsuit.

CROWN SID&
AVilHam Arthur Brett, a young man of regret:Otte
ramarance, much depressed by his awful sittiatian, was.
indicted for forging, a cheque upon the banking.honse of
Messrs. Sparrow and Co. of Chelmsford, purporting to
he drawn by Mr. Thomas Andrews, in favour of Messrs.
Chapman, Stevens, and Wood, for the sum of 2101.,
ORled the tudi October, 1821, with intent to defraud the
said Messrs. Spartow and Co.
Mr. Andrews and Mr. %Watford conducted the prose-
cution, and Mr. Brodrick and Mr. Law the defence.
It appeared in evidence that the prisoner had been
elicit,: to Mr. Andrews, attorney, of Coggestrall, who
transacted town business with Messrs. Chapman, Ste-
vens, Ind Wood, attorneys, in London. Mr. Andrews
banked with Messrs. Spirrow and Co. of Clic:milord.
Ilse 10th or October last the prisoner presented and
received the money fur the cheque in question, no suspi•
colt being then entertained of es genuineness. lle had
artfully written a !cum, in the names of the payees, to
the banking-house, acquainting them that a c:erk of the
Wolter would call fur the money on a certain day. From
the respee;ability of the prisoner's appearance, uo suspi-
ow was caw/tamed. The furery, haavt% W43'1'3411
