COURT OF KING'S fiFNCH, Pia. /.

The Court was ahnost thi whole day occu-
pied in hearing arguments ,on Settlement Cases,
the details of which would not in the least de.
gree gratify the Public ; but in the course of one
of them,

Lord KENToir said, " I wish the Magistrates
at the Sessions, were riot pressed to save points
for argument here before us,, that have nothing:
in-them but which are as Our as the sun, al-
though they. come for . the .discussion of this
• Court. This mode of proceeding increases
grievously, the expellee of Parishes, whose Poor-
rates arc now enormous, and that •at a. time
when there are...§o many reasons to be-as sparing
as possible in this sort of litigation ; for.l am
told most cred;bly, that in some Parishes in
this Kingdom, the Poor-rates .arc this-year six-
fold what they were last year. As to ciiredions,
this Court can give node.--Its 'province is to
decide upon Judicial Proceedings. If I were to,
• give any directions to Magistrates at the Ses.
mons, it WOjitt be, that when they themselves
have no doubt'upon a point, never to allow it to
be made a Special Case at all, but to decide it
at once."

On Wednesday (what is called Crown-Day),
the .Court of King's Bench exhibited a differ-
ence of opinion in the Judges, on a Sessions. Case,
from Durham. The Question was, Whether a
Freeholder who had let his Tenement, and lodged
with his Tenant, gained a settlement, not being
the legal Occupier ? Messrs. HoLRO,YD and Hum..
LOCK contended very strenuously, that he did
not,, and supported their opinion with great abi.
lity. Mr. WARD endeavoured to chew, from
the spirit of the whole Law, and an elaborate
enumeration of cases, that :he did. -Lord .KEN.
VON said, that the impression of his mind from
the beginning was, that he did ; and asked, if a
Freeholder, who was bound to suit and service
iri the Manor Court, would be t•emoveabie ? But
that his opinion was very much strengthened by
what had fallen from the very Learned Person
who had last sat down (Mr. WARD), to whom he
confessed himself much obliged for a case which
had escaped his nterriory '; but of which, he was
sure, lie had a note, and was decisive. Judge
GRoskagreed with•him ; butjudge LAWRENCE
argued the matter at length, against this'opinion.
Judge LE BLANC seemed inclined to Judge tAw-
ILENCE'S opinion, but said, he wished to consider
the rase cited by Mr. WARD before he decidcxl ;
and the matter stood over. if he had agreed with
JudgLAWRENCe, it is curious, from the Court's
being equally' divided, no judgment ',would be
given.- Yesterday (Friday), Lord KENYON, on
entering the Court, said, they had looked into
the authority in the above case, and were unani.
mously of opinion, that the Pauper gained a set.

TINDALL's TRANSLATION' OF THR
• NEW TESTAMENT.

TtsnALL's Translation of the New Testa-
ment was finished in the reign of HENRY VIII.
A. D. 1536, and the whole impression (as it
was supposed) purchased by) TONSTALL, Bishop
of London, and in the course of that year pub-
Hely burnt at St. Paul's Cross.

TINDALL was betrayed at Antwerp, and ap.
prebendcd by the EmPEROR'S Officers, who made
him a close prisoner in the Castle of Fribouit,
5536, where he had the SAM- fate as hig Transla-
tion, for he was publicly burnt.

One copy of this curious Translation escaped
the flames, and was picked up by one of thelate
Earl orOxFoan's Colleaors, and was considered
of so much value by this magnificent Nobleman,
that he settled 201. per annum for life, upon the
person who procured it. •
