QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.)

BOURNE V. KEARNEY. Vi
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL stated the Case. It ryas an ac-fr,
firm of trespass for entering the plaintiff's dose and throwing
down a fence. The plaintiff was a corn-chandler, carrying. one
Lusiness in the Hackney-road, and the defendant occupied tlsC
Nag's Heal public-house adjsiinin. The plaintiff's hooie2t
was about 30 or 40 feet from the road,l and the fence in qins-Y1
tion ran along parallel from the house to the road, forming 11,,,.
sort of court. yard. The plaintiff took possession on the 25t111.,1
of April, and on the 26th the fence was thrown down 11 111 e :11
defendant, who claimed a right of way. The plaintiff re7.,,?.4
placed the feace by a brick wall, and when it had been raised '
about four feet high, on the 7th July, the defendant came again
with two assistants and threw it down.
William Ellis—l was in the employ of the plaintiffin April, t-,
1936, when he removed to the premises in the Hackney-road...'
Ile carried on the business of a corn-chandler. The plaintifr's
house is approached from the Hackney-road by a court, and - '
there was a wooden paling erected along it when he took pos- -
session. I recollect the fence for the last eighteen years, as I ~
was frequently n the habit of going to the house with goods.
Mary Kettle proved that the fence had been upsfor the. last "
twenty-three years, and saw the defendant knocking it down
on the day in question.
Mr. THESSIGER, fair tiw defendant, would admit that the
fence had been t4ta4;-..it down by him. i
Tilt! Airy Fikturued. a verdict for the plaintiff.—Damages, 25/ t

SOUTHAMPTON.—The representation of this town will be
:ontested, the Liberals having every chance of throwing

le mentioned, that in a parish which has hitherto been
:onSidered the stronghold of Toryism, a Church-rate was

WAYEFIELD.—The Hon. W. S. Lascelles intends again

Mr. D. Gaskell.
DORSETSIIIRE.—The Hon. W. F. S. Ponsonby, Lord
Ashley, and Mr. Sturt, the present representatives, will

•PooLE.—Mr. G. S. Byng, one of the present members,

1. P. Beresford, at Chatham, which town the former Hon.
Gentleman represented some years since. Mr. C. Pon-
ionhy, eldest son of the member for the county of Dorset-
;hire, has offered himself as a candidate, in the room of
Mr. Byng. Mr. Ponsonby, in the right of his mother,
.will be the largest landed proprietor in the county, the
4reatest part of his estates lying in the immediate vicinity
,f this town. Mr. Tulk retiring, Mr. George Phillips is
Inited with him. 'Fhe Tories talk of bringing forward Sir
John Walsh and-another Hon. Baronet, but it is still very
loubtful whether these gentlemen will come forward.—
Taunton Courier.
ItocitEsTEß.—T. T. Hodges, Esq., having signified his
wish to withdraw from the representation, a committee of
seven gentlemen was formed on Thursday, for the purpose
of acting on the wishes expressed by the Hon. Member ;
and Sir J. 11. Carnac, chairman of the East India Com-
Pany, is spoken of as the gentleman selected as his successor.
BOSTON.--A meeting was held at Boston on Wednes-
day last, at which resolution; in support of Henry Hand
ley. Esq., M.P., at the ensuing election were voted.—Lin-
coin Met cury.
_ ToTtits.—The news of the death of our much-lamented

Monarch had scarcely arrived at Totnes, when both our
Irepresentatives, Mr. Parrott and Lord Seymour, arrived
also, which set the Liberals on the qui vine ; a meeting
was immediately called at the Guildhall, and Mr. Parrott
and Mr. Seymour addressed the meeting at some length.— '
Western Times.
:1 NORTHAMPTONSHIRE.—AIready
have the Conservatives
of this county set themselves actively to work. We have
reason to believe that in the Northern Division a canvas
was begun while his late Mjesty was yet lying on his
death-bed, and -we are positively assured that it commenced
before any certain intelligence .of the royal demise could
.1
ilave reached the county. Lord Brudenell, it seems, has
: given place to Lord Maidstone, a son of the Earl of Win-
chilsea. The Liberal candidate is not yet announced, but
there is no doubt of a contest. If Lord Milton should not
. present himself, a fitting substitute will, it is said, be found
.in the Hon. Colonel Watson, of Rockingham Castle. In
tire borough, the old and popular member, Mr. Vernon Smith,
a4U again come forward, and we arc happy to know that be
will be joined by a second Liberal candidate, in the person
-, of Mr. Raikes Currie.—Northamplon Mercury.
, •
7 GREE N Wm( ELECTION.—The approaching election for
',the borough of Greenwich is likely to be strongly contested.
15:The two sitting Members, Messrs. Angerstein and Bar-
'i.t nard, are already in the field, and an active canvass is
";.,i inadtiii!.'• for them in coalition. Their cards, with the names
'A coupled, are everywhere distributing, and the town is
~,,-covered with placards of " Barnard ,t,a Angerstein," and

of " Angers t ein and Barnard." Mr. Wolverley Attwood's
party is not less active. Mr. Attwood avowedly comes
forward on the Conservative side ; and it is said a gentle-
man, named Carter, of the same principles, will join with
him in the contest. The last struggle was a severe one,
Mr. Attwood being defeated by only 49 votes.
SUDBURY.—It is evident that the representation will be
contezt?d at the coming election, and ❑early balanced as
parties are, the struggle will be, as it usually has been, a
fierce one. Messrs. Bagshaw and Smith, the present
Liberal Members, have declared their intention of coming
forward again ; and Sir Edward Baines, it is understood,
is ready to fight the battle for the Conservatives. Both
parties begin to evince symptoms of preparation.—Essex
Herald. -

KIDDERMINSTER.—Mr. G. R. Philips retires, and Mr,
Godson is at present the only declared candidate to suc-
ceed him.

DROITIVICIL-Mr. Barneby withdraws from the repre-
sentation of this borough, and Mr. Pakington will be a
candidate to succeed him in the same interest. It appears
that Mr. Pakington is not to be allowed, however, to wal
over the course. Mr. Galton, it will be seen. has taken the
field against him, at the invitation of the Liberal party, and,
we are informed, with " every prospect of success."
DUDLEY.-Mr. Meryweather Turner has put forth an
address to the electors, announcing that he shall offer him-
self iipon the Liberal interest, and in opposition to the
present Member, Mr. 'l'. Hawkes, who again comes forward.
BEWDLEY.-Sir Thomas Winnington retires, and his
son, Mr. 'l'. Winnington, offers as his successor. The
Conservatives threaten a candidate, but as yet they do not
appear to have determined upon their man.
TEWKESBURY.—Mr. Hanbury Tracy has publicly an-
nounced his intention of retiring from the representation
of this borough whenever a dissolution takes place, and
the Whig and Reform interest are activ,ly canvassing the
electors of Mr. John Martin, who has declared himself a
candidate to succeed Mr. Tracy. Nor are the Conserva-
tive party less upon the alert. The Hon. Henry Horace
Law, brother of Lord Ellenborough, comes forward on
their support, and for whom, and the preSent Member,
Mr. W. Dowdeswcll, every exertion is now making, with,
it is said, the prospect of the election of both gentlemen.

• SCOTLAND.

KILMARNOCK.-It is rumoured that a relative of the
Rut of Glasgow will start upon the Conservative interest,
in opposition to Mr. Dunlop, for the borough of Kul.
=mock.

LEITH.—The Honourable James Erskine Murray, a
Reformer, uncle of Lord Elibank, ha 3 announced himself
a candidate here.

LANARKSIIIRE.—AIexander Macdonald Lockhart, Esq.,
is again a candidate to represent this county in Parliament.
HADDINGTON DISTRICT OF Btractis.—Sir Thomas
Buchan Hepburn announces himself a candidate on the
Tory interest.
COUNTY OF PEEBLES.—Sir John flay retires on ac-
count of ill health.
GLASGOW.—ShouId the Liberal interest remain united,
there is, of course, not the most distant danger of the re-
turn of a Conservative for the city of Glasgow ; but it
must be recollected that the greater majority Reformers
can muster, the more beneficial will be the effect produced
on public opinion throughout the country. Ministers have
been hampered during Cie last two years by a powerful mi-
nority in the House of Commons, chosen under the aus-
pices of a Conservative Administration ; let the next
House of Commons present such an array on the side of
good government as will deter the Upper house from pur-
suing their destructive polley.—Glasjout Chronicle.
Colonel Torrens has addressed, it is said by a Tory
journal, the electors on the Reform interest..
PERTH.—Friday, Saturday, and Monday, Mr. Kinnaird
canvassed the town personally, without further opposition
than some anonymous Conservative placards, cautioning the
electors against the premature committal of themselves.
That interval was employed by the latter patty in applica-
tions to various quarters for a candidate to come forward
upon Conservative principles ; the result of which was the
selection of Sir Patrick Murray Threipland, Bart., of Fin-
gask, for that purpose. A requisition to that effect was
signed on Monday, on the afternoon of which day a deputa-
tion waited upon him ; the result of which was the appear-
ance of a placard announcing his acceptance, which was
next day followed by'an address explanatory of his political
principles, and by a personal canvass.—Perth Courier.

WALES.
(From the Carnarvon Herald.)
CARNARVONSHIRE.—LiberaI Reformers, thorough sup-
porters of the Whig Government, will appeal to the consti-
tuencies. It is no secret now that Mr. Ralph Gore is the
pet of the Tories. We believe there is a strong feeling
among even the Tory gentlemen that he is not the man for
this county. The Whig interest is combined against him.
That interest is so strong, that we believe the county will
be carried in a canter against so weak a pretender.
ANGLESEY.—The Members for the Anglesey county
and borough are secure in their seats. Notwithstanding
Tory boasting-s, the Whig majority in the county will be
materially increased in the event of a contest. The honest,
patriotic conduct of Captain Paget and Captain Stanley
preclude any chance for a competitor. If Mr. Nlcyrick
consults his own feelings, he will not be that competitor.
If he consults the feelings of others he will only provoke a
more mortifying defeat than before. Whatever course the
Tories may choose to adopt, we can assure the reforming
electors in both county and borough, that whenever the
dissolution takes place, their Members will be at their post,
ready and prepared to %indicate their common principles.
FLINTSHIRE.—The Hon. Lloyd Mostyn again takes the
field, and may bid defiance to opposition. For the bo-
roughs, preparations are. making to punish the apostacy of
Sir Stephen Glynn, who, though returned as a Reformer,
has relapsed into Toryism. Captain Morgan, of Golden-
grove, has been spoken of with every prospect of signal
success. He has only to announce himself a candidate to
ensure his success. He is an honest, unbending Re-
former, and deserves the suffrage of all honest men. We
call upon the Flintshire Reformers to be up and stirring.
Above all things, let them avoid dissensions and divisions.
On union and action depends everything. These are
strength ; whilst the opposite is weakness. We expect
next week to give a good account of their doings. Now
that the menace to their patriotic Member and the insult to
themselves has gone forth, let them "kick the bull about."
As Mr. Wilson Jones has had something to say to this
trafficking, we expect the electors for the Denbighshire bo-
roughs will make an example of him.
DErspioll.--In Denbighshire liberal candidates will be
• brought forward, both for county and boroughs ; and with
every prospect of redeeming that county from the reproach
of being exclusively Tory in its representation.

IRELAND—(IIETuuNs 105).
DUBLIN CITY.-Mr. O'Connell certainly comes forward,
and his probable colleague will be Mr. Leland Crossthwaite,
or some other influential mercantile gentleman. The pre
sent Tory Members will not, it is probable, come forward
again ; Mr. Hamilton is understood to be sick of the ex-
pense of electioneering contests. The Government influence
will now be given to the Liberals and decide the election in
their favour.

The Reform party will gain consideral4 in this country.
The Tories admit a loss of ten, which will make a diffe-
rence of twenty .; but the more sanguine Reformers calcu-
late on as many gains as fifteen, equivalent to thirty votes
on a division.

LONGFORD COUNTY.—The result of the last election
seals the fate of young Mr. Lefroy, who will be succeeded
by a second ministerial candidate. The Reformers here
have a clear majority of some hundreds.
DUNGARVAN.—The Liberals have forwarded a requi-
sition to the Honourable John Plunkett, second son of the
Lord Chancellor, calling on him to come forward, in place
of Mr. Power, the present Member, who goes probably to
Waterford county.
YOUGHAL.--Thig is one of the few places where a
change adverse to the Queen's government is apprehended.
The Tories were beaten on the last occasion by a majority
of only one ; since then they have been very active in their
efforts to obtain a majority, and if care be not taken in the
selection of the Reform candidate they will probably suc-
ceed. Mr. John O'Connell, the present Member, retires
for Athlone, where be displaces Captain Mathew, a Tory.
If one of the Ponsonby family start for Youghal and ob-
tain (as he ought, and no doubt will) the cordial support of
the Duke of Devonshire, it is probable the Tories will
make no snore than a feint of opposition.
ATIILoNE.—Mr. Bonaventure Mathew will not come for-
ward again on the Castlemaine interest ; the new Member
will be Mr. John O'Connell, who gets the undivided sup-
port of the whole of the Liberal party.
DROGHEDA.—The Hon. Randal Plunkett will not come
forward again, as on this occasion the Reform candidate, of
whose success there cannot be the slightest doubt, will be
Sir William Somerville, Bart.
CORK COUNTY.—Mr. Longfield, it is very likely, will not
come forward again ; indeed if be do he has no better chance
now than then, and the Cork electors have been taught by
experience to make sure that their candidates have the
proper qualifications. Of Mr. Garrett Barry's re-election
there cannot be the slightest doubt ; his claims on the Li-
beral constituency, his dili.zent attendlnee in Parliament,
and his invariably voting for all good Reform measures,
make it a duty on the part of his constituents to repose
their highest trust again in hands where it is known to be
safe. His colleague on the Liberal side will be Mr. Roche,
of Trabolgan, a young Protestant gentleman of much abi-
lity and promise.

LIMERICK COUNTY.—It is probable Colonel Fitzgibbon
and Mr. Smith O'Brien will bo re-elected without oppo-
sition,

LIMERICK CITY.--.`j will be 110 change here : al-
though Mr. David Roche is anxious to retire, stili it is

understood that his constituents are desirous to retain his
services, and he is too good a Reformer to desert the inte-
rests of his country at a crisis like the present. It is not
yet known whether the Orange Corporation, under the
auspices of Lord Gort, will have a candidate -or not.. His
Lordship is, however, understood to be sick of opposition,
and anxious to avail himself of some opportunity of sup-
porting the Queen's Government.
CARLOW COUNTY.—The Reformers here will return
both Mr. Ashton Yates and. Mr. Vigors ; and Colonel
Bruen, who on one occasion in the House of Commons
described his constituents as " savages," will now find an
opportunity to discharge his duties as a good landlord, by
staying at home amongst them, and endeavouring to re-
claim them.

CAnLow.—The town will follow the example of the
county ; and, in spite of abandonment of their prineiphn
by a few (and a very few they arc) renegade Roman Ca-
tholics, will send Mr. Francis Brudn to the right-about. We
do not know who is to be the Belorm candidate, but we
have no doubt a good man will soon announce himself.

SLIGO.-Mr. Slartin, the only Stanlevite returned from
Ireland, gives' way to an.honest and more decided politician
—a Liberal of course.

CHURCH-RATES.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR,—In my last I gave the state of the poll on Church-
rates, second day. The poll closed the following day with
352 Majority against the R,te ; the numbers beint4.—
Against
For
Majority against the Rate - 352
A scrutiny was demanded, and we have now terminated by
the Church-rate party giving in at a scrutinized majority of
133, having a majority of 174 good votes to examine. There
is not a question but, if folly scrutinized, the majority of 352
declared on polling would be, to four or five, the majority of
the scrutiny. Your's faithfully,
Westbromwich, June 26, 1837. A.
