SADI.BII V. ROBINSON.

• .This case came before the CoU4 on an argument
,upon a rote to set aside a tionsuit. , It was an action
brought upon a decree of the Court of Chancery, hi'
Jamaiaa, to rpcover upwards of 3641. Out of this
sum, however, the decree direeled, that the costs,"to
he taxed by a Mt'. Howell, shoMd be ,dedticted.
The ground Orlhe non-suit was, that the Plaintiff
could nut recovn-, itramnuch as tliete was ,no fixed
S.im, the cuts not having been yet taxed by the ap-
Teinted Officer. '
MesSrs. GAR ttow aril ComYN were heard in sup-
Nrt of the non-soit, and,the ATTORN LY-GEN
and Mr. LE BCANc.igainst it, who urged, that no
contingency here vxisted, as the. Defendant had
pe.ver s'obiniited himself to the taxation and as there
Was every reason to believe that nothino was
Rule dischatged.

LimEnicK, JUNE J.—The neighbourboio of.
Newport, in the County of Tipperary, about eight
miles.,froin'this City, 1134 for sortie nights hoen
turbeO4 several persons have •beeu flogged severely
under various pretexts. On Thursday night, find
It'riday morning, a oumber of houses were broken
own, and a family of the. name of,Sweenty,' in that
vicinity, was beaten in a most inhuman manner.—
The rain no Friday and Saturday last fell in such tor-
rents as an cause an overflow of the 'mountain stream
between the glen of Aherlow and Galhally, in this
county, Bear Tipperary, v% hid) in its effect was ex-
tretnely injurious; several Cows, pigs, S,:c. were
washed away and lost by the rapidity of that current,
and, strange to relate ! others that were taken down
for intav than a mile, were saved; some acres of
potatoes were.also swept away. In the memory of
the oldest man resident iti that part of the country,
there never was So great a flood,.
Mh-ritvEN, NEAR Paivra.,. JUNE 11.—On the Pith
current we had a deluge of rain, -exceeding any thing
of the kind remembered by our oldest inhabitants,
far surpassing that of the I;th of November last. ,It
came on .about eleven A.M. and continued with a
violence incessant and hitherto unheard of, for an
hour and a half. It a:ipears to have been the burst-
ing of a cloud, as tire rain Was by no means general ;
but its efie6is ill be vxtetisively felt, particularly
by those whose. lands, I) log low, were inundated in
Notember List, and who had been'comforting them-
ves with the prospeat of ito abundant harvest. In
the. of one short bout', however, they saw
their A'7116 covered with water, their cattle
ming on the pasture, th water rising three or four
feet deep in their d we_..4-...rouses, and of sumo of
them the entire property thus deStroyed.. On the
receding of the waters, after. a lapse of six hours, a
scene truly pitiable was presented.. The corn, in
some places, were completely-Sanded up, -and it is
feared they will never rise ;. and the pastures. were
so completely blocked up, as to be for a long time
unfit for the use of the cattle. Several bridges were
also swept away by the impetuosity of t tie current:.
TROTTING MATCH. --It has beep node known,
that a horse, the property of Mr. l'aohans, which
a few weeks since was sold for seven guitteas,,. was
backed to trot )7 miles in one hoar. Ttte'distatwe
has very rarely been performed, although the won- ,
derful mare; called the Phenomenon, otic, did )9
'miles within an hourr. The stake for this match
was 25Q1. to I OW. The horse started wiiit a seven
:stone jockey at eight o'clock on Saturday morning,
at Hollers Green, Herts, to go over some picked
ground. The animal went half the disl.inee in two
minutes :above half • the time, and the next two
miles 'was performed at a whining tate: After the
_horse liad gone twelve miles, tie began to lag, nod
the match wit, lost aftet 14 miles had' ()evil per-
fcinned in 52 olinotri. •
