THE COUNTY RATE BILL.

It is satisfactory to observe in the division of 105 against
Mr. Hume's County Rate Bill, last_night, that all were de-
cided Tories except the following seven, whom we regret to
see in such company, voting against the principle of the Mu-
nicipal Reform Bill, and of having the County Rates managed
by responsible persons chosen by the ratepayers, viz.,
Lord John Russell,
Sir Robert Rolfe, Solicitor General.
Sir Cutlar Ferguson, Advocate-General.
Sergeant Talfourd, for Reading.
Charles Shaw Lcfcvre, Hampshire.
Rolleston, Colonel, Hertford.
Willshere, Wm., Yarmouth.
It is to be regretted that only 39 out of 340 liberal Mem-
bers attended to support a Bill so important.

DENNEY V. DERAPATD AND ANOTHER.

This was an action for excessive distress, in which- a verdict was given
for the plaintiff, damages 301. with leave to move for a new trial on the
ground of excessive damages.
Mr. OGLE this day accordingly moved for a rule nisi, grounding his
application upon an argument that the evidence given at the trial re.
"petting the value of a pointer bitch was insufficient, or unworthy of

Congols for Account, 956 3

A short time ago Mr. Charles Clarke, a young
member of a respectable family in Suflbik, embarked on board the On-
tario, in the St. Katharine's Dock, having paid for his voyage to New
York, in which city he was about to settle. On the vessel arriving at
Portsmouth, Mr. Mertill, an officer of the Sherifra of Hampshire, boarded
her, and arrested Mr. Clarke for a debt of 2001. alleged to have been due
by him. In vain did be assure the officer that he was not the man he
sought after, or knew anything of the debt; the man of law insisted on
his judgment being correct, and at length took Mr. Clarke on shore, where
he kept him with especial care for two or three days, at the end of which
he discovered, to his ?rear mortircation, that he was out in his judgment,
for that, instead of John, he had got Charles Clarke. In tl!c interim the
vessel sailed, anti the passage.money was, of course, forfeited; but the
officer to make amends for his mistake, ultimately agreed to and paid
over to Mr. Clarke 431. as a compensation.
