BAIL COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

Mr. Justice WILLIAMS took motions, but nothing of genera]
interest occurred.

COMMON PLEAS-(THIS DAY.)

NEWTON V. HARLAND.
This was an action for trespass and assault, brought by the
plaintiff, a barrister, against the defendant, in whose house he
lodged, for breaking into his apartment, and forcibly ejecting
him and his lady. The defence was, that Harland had
given the plaintiff notice to quit, and that the term of the
notice having expired, the defendant had a right to take
forcible possession, and that being in legal possession, he was
not guilty of assault, in ejecting the plaintiff and his family.
Verdict was given for the defendant, and last term Mr.
Sergeant Wilde for the plaintiff obtained a rule nisi for a new
trial.

Mr. TOMLINSON this day at great length showed cause
against the rule.
The COURT said that notwithstanding the great dis-
play of learning with which it had been gratified by
the Learned Counsel, it could not upon the facts
as they appeared before it, decide upon the grave
question, whether the landlord was justified in taking for-
cible possession by breaking open the door of the apart-
ment occupied by the plaintiff. Most assuredly, if he was
not so justified, his plea being he was in legal possession,
a verdict ought to go against him for the assault. It was
therefore necessary that the facts should be brought before the
Court in a more satisfactory view, and the rule for a new
trial is made absolute.
Mr. NEWTON was suggesting to the Court that a specific
ssue should be directed, but the Court would not allow him
to proceed, and said that it had already decided in his favour.

ROME.—On Palm Sunday, the Pope in person
performed in the forenoon, in the Sisters Chapel, the core
monies ordered for this festival. Among other foreigners of
distinction was M. Bruggenoan, Russian Councillor of Go-
♦ernment, who appeared in his official costume, and was ad-
mitted to kiss his Holiness's toe ; after which, according to

secrated palm branch.

FORGERY OF A BILL.—A person of respectable
appearance, a tradesman in Glasgow, was on Tuesday exa-

NEGRO APPRENTICEIIIIP.—PUBLIC MEETING.
—On Monday night a public meeting, which was well at-
tended, was held in Edinburgh, to take into consideration the
present state of the negro apprenticeship system in the British
Colonies, and to adopt petitions for its immediate and total
abolition. The Lord Provost was called to the Chair; and
resolutions in conformity with the object of the meeting were
moved, seconded, and adopted.
SUBTERRANEAN TRAVELLING.—The line of
railway between Lyons and St. Etienne, the largest manufac-
turing town, and the richest coal district in France, is only
b 4 miles in length ; yet, such is the uneveness of the country,
and so great has been the :anxiety of the engineers to pre-
serve as complete a level as possible, that there are actually no
lees than " twenty tunnels" between the two termini. One of
these is a mile in length, while another, which is half a mile
long. is carried under the bed of a river which crosses the line.
