CHANCERY COURT.-(THIS DAY•)

NOEL 'V, MIDDLETON.-JUDGMENT.

The LORD CHANCELLOR gave judgment today in
this case, which was argued before his Lordship some
time since, upon exceptions to the Master's report.
The case arose out of certain partnership transactions
between Sir G. Noel, Mr. Middleton, and a gentleman
named Davidson ; and the question was, whether cer-
tain copyhold property, belonging to the customary
heir of Nathaniel Middleton, was charged with the ar-
rangement that had been come to by the parties in
1803. The decree declared that the property was well
charged, and referred it to the Master to take the ac-
counts on that footing, and also to state the
balance due to Sir Gerard Noel. The Mas-
ter being of opinion that the deed which had
been executed, and the transactions that had taken place
in 1803 barred the right of Sir G. Noel to go upon the
copyhold estate, refused to take an account of the ad-
vances he bad made, and signed his report without
taking notice of that fact. Such being the case, the
parties took exceptions to the Report, the validity of
which the Court was now called upon to decide. His
Lordship, alter going at some length into the facts of
the case, stated his opinion to be that the Master had
miscarried in the course he had adopted, and referred
the matter back to him to review his report.
The COURT then proceeded with appeal motions,
this being the last day of Michaelmas Term.
His Lordship will sit in Lincoln's Inn Hall to-
morrow, and proceed with hearing of appeals and ori-
ginal causes.
The Court will only hear motions on the Seal days.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.
(THIS DAY.)

OLD COURT.
These Sessions commenced this morning, before the
Right Hon. the Lord Mayor, the Recorder, Mr. Al-
derman Lainson, and the Sheriffs.

The Grand Jury having been sworn, and addressed
by the Learned Recorder, retired to their:room, for the
performance of their duties.

The calendar contains the names of 232 prisoners, but
:he greater part of the charges are for minor offences.

EXEMPTION OF BARBERS FROM SERVING ON JURIES.

A Juror claimed exemption, on the ground of being
a member of the Barbers' Company,
The RECORDER said that this privilege of exemption
for the members of the Barbers' Company, was owing
to a slip in the Act of Parliament. Surgeon-barbers
were exempted, but since the Companies had
separated, there could be no ground for the
excuse of barbers ; and he trusted that the
exemption would soon be done away with. lie
would take care that the matter should be looked into : he
should expect for the future that the Clerk of the Com-
pany would attend, in order to identify those claiming
the exemption, as this privilege was in fact inflicting a
great hardship on those liable to serve.
The claim of exemption was then allowed.
A Jury having been impanelled,
Jacob Waterhouse was indicted for stealing in the
parish of Greenwich two ewes, the property of B. G.
Coledry. Both the prosecutor and the prisoner arc
butchers. The prisoner had been out on bail and had
surrendered this day.
Mr. Payne appeared for the prosecution, and Mr.
Clarkson for the defence.

James Cooper--Is gardener to Mrs. Cousins, of
Greenwich ; found two sheep in his mistress's garden
on the 23d September last ; took them to the prisoner,
who said they were his, and took them away. Prisoner
said he had lost five sheep. There was a field behind
the garden, from which the sheep might have strayed,
or they might have got in from elsewhere.
Edward G. Coledry had two ewe sheep in a field near
Mrs. Cousins' garden, on'the 22d September last ; had
bought them on the Monday before at Enfield of Mr.
Wale. Went to prisoners house on 25th, and asked
him if he had fetched two sheep from Mrs. Cousins.
The prisoner said he had. He asked if he had killed
them. He said, yes. He said the skins were gone.
Witness told him that his boy had seen the skins on his
premises that morning. The prisoner said the boy was
a liar. Witness then gave information to the police.
- Cross-examined by Mr. CLARKSON.—Does not re-
collect saying be asked him if lie had killed the sheep be-
fore to-day. Has never said the sheep he lost were
South Downs. Never saw the sheep in Mrs. Cousins
garden ; and has had no opportUnity of identifying the
sheep either by body or skin. Did not find any dif-
ference in his trade in consequence of the
prisoner coming to live near him, and had never said
so. There might have been one or two had left off
dealing with him in consequence. Did not cause any
account to be put in the newspapers. A person called
on him a week after, and asked particulars, but he did
not know what he wanted. Knows a person named
Constantine, a reporter. Has read an account in the
Greenwich Gazette. Cannot tell whether it was before
or after the stranger called on him. Does not know
if Constantine spoke to him about it.
James Bennett, prosecutor's servant, had seen two
skins on prisoner's premises on the Tuesday and Wed-
nesday.
Cross• examined—Bad, when before the Magistrates,
said that he saw prisoner at Mrs. Cousins' on Tuesday,
and his master corrected him, and said Monday.
Policeman B. 94 took prisoner into custody ; he said
he bad fetched two sheep from Mrs. Cousins' garden,
which he believed to be Mr. Coledry's, but as he was
on bad terms with him he would not acquaint him, and
turued them out ; he found two carcases on his pre-
mises, which he said he had bought—one of Mr. Cobb,
of Deptford.
Cross-examined—Cobb's man attended before the
Magistrates and corroborated prisoner's statement, but
was not bound over ; when taken prisoner said that he
had fetched the sheep because he thought they were
his. There were no marks of slaughtering on the
premises.
Edward Sweetlove was asked by prisoner to look
after his shop on Monday night, while he killed one or
two sheep ; this was about nine &clock. He remained
at prisoner's until nearly ten.
Cross-examined.—Prisoner had no light, and did not
appear to have been engaged in slaughtering. There
were no sheep in the shop.
Policeman It 68 saw two sheep hanging up in pri-
soner's shop on Monday evening, between seven and
eight o'clock ; they appeared to be fresh killed. Has
been a butcher.

Cross-examined.—Believes a scoured sheep, if not
Totten, would make as good mutton as a healthy one.
(The case was not concluded at the time of our going
to press.)

PALACE OF THE TUILERIES.

We had been informed of the new precautions
recently adopted for the defence and for the exterior
and interior protection of the Palace of theTuileries,
but a journal publishes on that subject such extraor-;
dinary particulars, that we copy them, in order to
afford the Government an opportunity of contradict-
ing them.
" The service of the Palace was never more ri-
gorous than at present at any former period, or in
any other reign. The soldiers themselves are terri.;
fied by it. Our readers remember the fate of the
poor man who was killed for having too closely ap-
proached the gate of the Rue de Rivoli. Ever
since additional precautions have been taken, the
military garrison of the Tuileries is obliged to take
tile same ineav,ures, and is as much on the qui vive
as if it were in the presence of the enemy.
" There are round the Palace three principal
lines of defence, included between the Seine, the
square of Louis XV., the Rue Rivoli, and the
Place du Carousel. The river closes on one side

that extensive polygon, too deep to he forded ; its
bridges, adjoining the Tuileries, form defiles diffi-
cult of access.

" The parallel lines comprise the different de-
bouches of the streets of L'Echelle, St. Roth, and
Ii ivoli, and is much better supported than that of

the Carrousel.

" Two military governors are installed at the
Louvre and in the Tuileries respectively. They
combine their operations, create, modify, and inter-
pret their consigns, and are able, by their military
knowledge, to organize at a moment's notice a sys-
tem of defence.

" The arms of the soldiers on duty are everywhere
loaded.
‘ The guard is formed of companies of picked
men, who are reviewed daily, of National Guards
and of Cavalry.
" During :he day several distinct secret sets of '
police keep watch on each other, and are in con-
tinual movement along the lines. This service is
even organized amidst the crowd of the public, fol-
lows its undulations, and marches and stops with it.
Each mouchard, or spy, carries under his coat a
belt, in which are slung a brace of pistols and
dagger. The comrade who relieves him merely
makes a sign to him. Agents seated in hackney
coaches are continually reconnoitring the approaches,:
of the chateau, and a watch, or living telegraph,
posted on the top of the roof, gives notice of the.
approach of anything calculated to disturb the dy-•
nastic order.

" These precautions arc redoubled toward€ night-
fall. 350 picked men, supplied by all the rctr,i-
ments of the garrison, arrive at that hour, and take

their station under the Pavilion de l'Horloge.
" Rounds and patrols follow each other in rapid
succession, and during the night they issue from
the Palace, and are constantly met moving round
it, along the quays, the Square of Louis XV., the
Carrousel, the Rue de Rivoli, and the Rue St.
Honore.

Independently of these military dispositions,
which are supported by numerous posts, are other
reserves stationed at the Place des Pvramides and at
the Ministry of Finance ; the battalion of infantry
quartered in one of the wings of the Palace, and
the cavalry barrack on the Quai d'Orsav ; these ra-
y within short distances of each other,
8 constituteeresp
lacaeuitl effective forca of between 3,000 and
4,000 men, which may be turned out and concen-
trated at the Palace. in the course of four or five
minutes.

The parapets, bridges, railings, and gates, are
well tuarded. The internal defensive measures are
still More formidable. A ditch limits the garden ;
the area of the gate of the Pavilion de l'Horloge
has been raised in order to render its approach the
more difficult; the chimnies have been secured by
iron bars across them ; double doors of solid oak,
and turning easily on enormous copper hinges, are
petard (or bomb) proof ; the cellars and subterra-
'leans paisages are guarded in such a manner that
any attempt to undertnine the palace would prove
abortive ; and certain cabinets, which are as strong
as casewates, are traversed by a small winding
staircase, extending from the eeliar to the roof; 150
servants, officers, and serge-ants of experienced cou-
rage, dressed during the day in a handsome uniform,
throw it off at night. Each buckles round his waist
a pelt filled with cartridges, is armed to the teeth,
and keeps watch in the long galleries of that sombre
abode.

" Thus the Palace is secure, on the one hand,
against all attempts from abroad, and in the inte-
rior against a military movement of the troop on
duty. Police agents watch the patrols, and the
latter the sentinels. Troops of the line, with loaded
arms, are mixed up with the National Guards, who
do not possess a grain of gunpowder, and within
the precincts of the palace the household of Louis
Philippe performs a secret and distinct service quite
apart from the rest.

" One of our friends passed on Saturday last at the
debouche of the Pont Royal, about half-past 6 o'clock
in the evening, and remarked with astonishment that
all the avenues leading to that point were occupied
by several brigades of town sergeants, whilst others
of that force were posted behind the palisades
erected round the works for repair of the bridge.
These men communicated with knots of police
agents standing near the gates, or silently seat,a
on the parapets of the quay. Several patrols were
seen in the meantime moving along tht terrace,
and two officers of the chateau, whr.: appeared to
superintend the whole, were walk.'iug up and down
on the flags. Other indivi.:),uals, remarkable for
their sinister countenarnes, were dispersed through
the crowd, who stopped with surprise in that sort
of ambuscade. The wheels of a heavily loaded
cart having sunk in a hole, the agents imme.—
diately congregated around it, and helped to
extricate it. All of a sudden the distant
noise of carriages and of the galloping of cavalry
was heard, and shortly afterwards Louis Philippe
passed by like lightning, on his way back from
Versailles."—Commerce.
