A public dinner is to be given by the electors of South-
wark, to celebrate the re-election of Messrs. Humphery and
Harvey, which was a signal triumph over the -Tory party
in that borough ; their candidate Mr. John Richards (late
M.P. for Knaresborough), having obtained only 848 votes,
although supported by the whole strength of the self-styled
Conservative party, and a large subscription raised amo:g
some of the most wealthy andinfluential inhabitants of
Southwark. The united Reformers succeeded, however,
in placing their candidates far above their opponent, the
numbers polled being—
For Mr. Humphery
Harvey
Richards
The whole of the expense of this election on the part of
of the Messrs. Humphery and Harvey was 3251., which has
been mainly defrayed by a subscription among the Liberal
electors.

The approaching dinner, two days previous to the meet-
ing of Parliament, cannot fail of being most interesting.
All the metropolitan Members, and several others, are in-
vited, and several have already intimated their intention to
be present. At a meeting of the Stewards, on Thursday
evening, several letters from the gentlemen invited were
read, amonc, which was one from the lion. Fox Maule, of
which the following is a copy :
" Sir—l thank you for the honour which you have con-
ferred upon me by. inviting me to meet the representatives '
of the borough of Southwark at dinner on the ISth Novem-
ber. I find, with great regret, that previous arrangements
will prevent my accepting the compliment, which I esteem
the more highly, as it emanates from a body of men who
have in the last general election performed the duties com-
mitted to them Ly the Reform Bill i❑ a manner, at once
honourable to themselves, and gratifying to all those who
have the genuine spirit of the act at heart.
" I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
" Oct. 27, 1837." F. AIALTLE.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF CHA.YCERY—..Nov. 3.
STOCKS V. DODSLEY.

Mr. TEMPLE appeared in this matter to support a mo-
tion for a reference back to the Master of a report that
had been regularly confirmed. The suit arose out of a
dispute between two brothers in Nottingham, respecting a
debt alleged to be due to the estate of their father from
a Mrs. Linky, of whom one of the brothers was executor.
The question was first tried at law, and all matters in dis-
pute were referred to Mr. M. Phillips, who made an award
in favour of the plaintiff to a certain amount, but with-
out making any allusion to certain promissory notes for
1,800/., which formed part of the sums in dispute. A
bill was afterwards filed in this Court, and the matter re-
ferred to the Master, who found in favour of the plaintiff,
and declared that he defendant was liable for the amount
of the notes.

The LO1:D CIANCLLLOR said it was necessary to look
over the affidavits to ascertain whether the defendants
had made such a case as would call for an answer. If his
Lordship found they had he would then hear the Counsel
for -the plaintiff.

ROLLS COURT.

MORGAN V. HUTTON.

In this case a petition was presented, praying a reference
to the Master for the appointment of a Committee. One
of the parties to the suit was a lunatic, and his Committee
ad him having died, pending the preceedings, the present
petition was presented. The only point was this :—The
late Committee had been appointed on the application of
the defendant, but that party had, up to the present time,
neglected to make any new application. The petitioner,
therefore, being desirous to have the matter settled, now
made this application.
Mr. STEWART supported the petition.
His Lordship, the MASTER OF THE ROLLS, said that he
was not aware that this point had ever before been before
the Court. He would, therefore, consider the nutter ; but
it appeared to him, as the present petitioner could not pro-
duce on his own knowledge any evidence as to the state of
the person's mind, that it would be better to make the
order for the reference, givin,ir notice to the party who before
made the application, that if he neglected to apply before a
certain day the matter should go before the Master.

COURT OF Q UEEN'S BENCH, Nor. 3.
THE QUEEN :v. JONES.
Sir. W. FOLLETT showed cause against a rule calling on
the defendant to show by what right he claimed to exercise
the office of auditor of the borough of Carnarvon. There
were several objections raised to the right of the defendant
to exercise this office. First, it was alleged that the mayor
was not duly elected, so that there had been no proper pre-
siding officer at the election of the defendant ; nest, that,
as the proper number of aldermen had not been elected at
the time of the defendant's appointment, there was not a
proper elective body ; and, lastly, that the defendant him-
self had not been duly elected.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL, in support of the rule, con-
tended that it must be made absolute, although no final
judgment might follow Upon it.—Rule absolute.

BAIL COURT.
CARTER V. MARRYATT.

" Mr. Sergeant GOULBURN stated that this was an action
brought against an attorney for negligence. The pleadings
stated that an action having been brought against the plain-
tiff by one James Herbert, he retained defendant as his
attorney to defend that action, and which the defendant in
the present ease undertook to do ; but that owing to his
negligence Herbert obtained judgment against the plaintiff,
and execution thereon, whereby plaintiff was compelled to
pay a sum of money—to wit, 111. 11s. Gd., which he did
not owe to the said Herbert.

The Jury returned a verdict for the defendant.
DAVIS V. WILKINSON.

This, case was partly proceeded with, and will be con-
cluded to-morrow.

His Lordship having,to attend chambers at three o'clock,
rose shortly before that time.

COURT OF COMMON' PLEAS, Nor. 3.
° The Judges took the oath of allegiance at the sitting of
the Court this morning.

COLLINS V. JENKINS.

Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD moved for a rule to show cause
why the verdict in this case should not be set aside and a
nonsuit entered. This was an action for the breach of the
warranty of a horse, tried here before the Lard Chief Jus-
tice during the sittings after last Term. His motion did
not refer to the principal matter of the cause, but depended
on the question whether the plaintiff had satisfied his
dertaking to produce material evidence in the county in
which the venue was laid, viz. Middlesex. He (Sergeant
Talfourd) apprehended that the undertaking had not been
satisfied, and on that ground trusted that the Cotut %milt
grant a rule.
The COURT—You may take a rule Nisi.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Nov. 3.

BURGIIART AND OTHERS V. HALL AND OTHERS, EXECU-

TORS OF NISBETT.

Mr. ERLE moved for a rule to show cause why a new
trial should not be granted in this case, which was tried
before Lord Abinger at the sittings for Middlesex after last
Trinity Term, on the ..roundi of misdirection by the
Learned Judge, and of the inadmissibility of evidence. It
was an action brought: by the plaintiff, a tailor, for goods
supplied to the late Captain Nisbett, who was in the
Guards, and whilst he was a minor, consisting of wearing
apparel and regimentals ; and also for board and lodging.
The plea was infancy, and the replication. that the goods
furnished were necessaries ; and the jury found for the
defendant. On the part of the defendant, it was proved
at the trial that an annual allowance of 500/. was made to
the infant, and 8001. had been given to purchase an outfit
when he received his commission ; and Lord Abinger held
that if the infant had a sufficient allowance to support his
estate, he could not contract for necessaries, and had di-
rected the jury, if they thought the income sufficient, to
find for the defendant. Mr. Erie now drew the particular
attention of the Court to this point, because Lord Lynd-
hurst and the Vice-Chancellor had diiTnred in opinion
upon it.
The COURT granted a rule Nisi on the first ground, but.
refused it on the second,

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION-HOUS&

Yesterday Captain Bush, who • was employed by the
Commercial Steam-Packet Company to raise the ApoTh
steam vessel, which was sunk in consequence of the colli-
sion with the Monarch, near Greenbithe, came to the Jus-
tice Room, for the pUrpose of inForming the Lord Mayor
of a calamity by which the vessel in which he was carrying
one his scientific operations, and dl his apparatus, were
completely destroyed.

At an early hour on Thursday mnrning, the Surrey brig,
from Stockton, in passing, went to leeward of the steamer,
in which the men were carrying on their operations for

The LORD MAYOR—YOU must go to the Royal Enter.
tainment Committee, as I have nothing to do with the pro-
cession. Indeed, lam given to understand that there will
be no procession, except that which is to be termed at Tem-
ple Bar, and which will merely consist of the Lord Mayor,
Aldermen, Sheriffs, a few Members of the Court of Com-
mon Council, and attendants. I don't suppose that they
want any swimming amongst them. Depend upon it, the
riding will be quite enough.
The applicant said that the wish of the Swimming So-
ciety was to walk in the procession.
The LORD MAYOR—How many of ycu are there ? Ap-
plicant—About three hundred.
The Loa» MAYOR—And you can all swim ? Appli-
cant—Ye:;. I believe so. At all events, the most of us
can, and no doubt most of us will in a short time.•
The LORD MAYOR—I suppose as you arc anxious to
have the patronage of the Queen that you have ladies
amongst your disciples? Applicant—Several ; many of
them swim capitally. Every body is liable to be tumbled
• into the water, and how comfortable it would be fur a
gentleman and his family, if they fell into a canal or pond,
to swim out at their case, without being obliged to help
each other.—(A laugh.)
The Loa» MAYOR—No doubt of it; 'and—riftite4o4
could a'l swim, but I don't think it will be necessary for us
to indu'ge in that amusement on the 9th of November.
However, it strikes me that the Society of Swimmers can
be of service on that day.
Appl c mt—(with great earnestness)—flow, my Lord ?
We shal be very happy, I assure you. I have it from the
;thole Society to mention to you that we shall be most
happy to contribute to the honours of the day.
The LORD MAYOR—Very well. It is not out of your
own lin, . You see we are afraid that we shall be over-
sto,ked with spectators at Temple-bar to see us ride.
Now if your Swimming Society would make up a swimming
procession in tie Thames at the some time that the Queen
comes along, it would divide the public curiosity.
Applicant—Do you mean that we should all swim down
the river, my Lord ?

The L3RD MAYOR—Up or down, I won't be particular.
If it was well placarded that 300 of your ladies and gen-
tlemen of the National Swimming Society will take to the
water at two o'clock in honour of the Queen, I am sure her
Majesty would be as proud of it as she will he to see the
Aldermen on horseback.—(Laughter.)
