ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

RICAARD3ON v. Tem BANK OF ENGLAND.--JUDGMENT.

In this case a motion wa; made on behalf of the plaintiff, that the de.
fendant, Reece Goring Thomas, might be ordered to pay into Court
9.1,591/. Is 3d., admitted by the defendant to have been advanced to
him by one of the partners in the house of Sir James Esdaile and Co.
The bill was flied by the legal personal representatives of the late Sir
Jams Esdaile, fur an account of the debts and dealings of the successive
partnerships which carried c‘n business under the firm of Sir James
Esdaile and Co., f:oru Dccemb: r, IS2i•, till the terMination thereof; and
for settling and ascertaining the rights and equities of the partners
therein, and for collecting and disposing of the partnership effects, and
for paying the debts of the partnership, and other purposes.
His LORDSHIP ordered the defendant to pay in by the 10th of Novem-
ber 19,724/. 15s. 5d., giving him credit fur a sum of 1,7111.

ATTORNEY-GENERAL 2/, GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY.
Mr. KINDERSLEY stated that the experiment which his Lordship had
suggested on a former occasion Ind been made, but it was found not to
answer the purpose. Since then it had been attempted to come to some
arrangement, anti the Railway Company had proposed to make a tow.
ing-path under the arch of the width of 5 feet, with a rail 2 feet 9 inches
high. The relators wished the towing-path to be made 6 feet wide and
the raisi 3 feet. The Learned Ocntleman observed, that even if thetowing.
path was 6 feet wide, the navigation would be greatly impeded, because not
more than two horses would have room totow a barge under the archway,
when it frequently required six or eight horses to pull a barge against
the stream.

Mr. PEMBERTON and Mr. OSBORNE, for the defendants, contended
that the stream would never be so strong as to require eight horses to
pull a barge under the archway, and that before artivlng at the bridge
the vessel would have sufficient weigh upon her to enable one horse, or
three or four men, to pull her through; and the plaintiffs would not be
ct to greater inconymience than they experienced at other bridges.

Loyd LiNGusix thought the defendants had been under an error
throughout in one respect, because they seemed to consider that if they
did r,ot cecasion so much inconvenience as was caused at other bridges,
they were perfectly justified in what they were doing. His Lordship's
opinion was, that those who conducted such great works as these
were bound to apply the best science they could obtain, and
t! construct the works in such a way that no more inconve-
nience was occasioned by what they did than the circumstances of
the case absolutely required. It was but reasonable that there should
be a towing path, but there was no evidence to show what width would
be required. He did not believe the defendants, from what had passed,
would make a propmal that it would be dangerous to act upon. If his
Lordship could be satisfied the towing path which the Rahway
Company offered could• be safely used, he would refuse to give
any order. At the same time he must be satisfied the towing path that
was offered would be safe, and if the parties could not agree, that could
only be done by evidence.

It was ultim lely agreed between the parties, that it should be left
to some disinterested scientific gentleman (to be named by the Court) to
say what the width of the towing path should be.

SECRET SERVICE MONEY.—A Tory- Radical
print, publish,d in Newcastle, judging its Contemporaries, we presume
out of the baseness of its own nature, brings the following foul charges
agate's' the Press :—" We hate no doubt in our minds but the Morning
Chrohiele has s.c%ctl Gottsans's of the public money for its support of
this brutal law, (the Poor Law Amendinen. Act)
" We now ebtrie to the question—in what way is this ' Secret Service
Money' expended ? Our opinion is, mostly upon the pers.:, both me-
tropolitaq anti provincial. We would venturea wager that the Morning
Chronicle receives a couple of thousands per annum for writing up the
villainous Poor-law Amendment Bill. The Sun is in the sante medica-
ment. The articl son this villainous Bill are evidently not written by
the editor, but written for him ; and we ncver sec them without imagin-
ing the editor, with Isis Scotcn palm itching for gold, Cutuhing twenty
sovereigns in oat, hand, and a Poor-law article in the other. We shall

ness, we now that the hulk cf this money is :Tent in bribing what is
cal!ed the Litter,' Press, and it is never Wilted at by one of its members."
We hope that the Morning Chronicle and The Sun will call upon
their acc:ber for proof of the charge herein preferred ; although it is
perhaps too absurd. and contemptible for
.the notice of our nrAropolitan

LUDICIMUS OCCURRENCE.-Great alarm pre.
railed this morning at the Stock Exchnge, pac.icul..rlj amnrg the
Bears, owing to two ma.l bulls having made their appearance in the
neig'diourhood. Immediately the Bears took to their heels, fortunately
two drovers came to their assi,tance. The bulls, finding themselves
closely pursued, one of them run into a grocer's shop, at that moment
a large leg of mutton being at the tire, the smell of which attracted the
animals into the kitehey. A great crowd of persons a'semb!ed round
the shop, and it was some time before the cook cou'd get rid of her
companion, accomplished by a butcher tf Threadneedle..street.

CIIRISTENING OF DR. PA RICSGREAT GRAND-
sos.—On Sunday an interesting ceremonial took p!ace at the Church of
Hatton, whi^h' must have afforded much gratifi,ation to the late Dr.
Parr'ssrany friends and admirers, in the christening of his great grand-
child, the infant son of the Rev. John Lyohs and Caroline Sobieski, the
Doc:or's eldest grand daughter. The Bishops of Durham and Lichfield
s:orKi spotisers in person, while Mrs. Johnson, widow of the late Dr.
Johnson, was represented by Mrs. Maltby, lady of theßishop of Durham.
Sincerely do we wish that the infant, sprung from so great a scho!ar and
so good a man, may grow• up worthy representative in talent and
virtue ; and that Samuel Parr Lyons may never prove unworthy of gre
greirt name he bears before his own. The crowde.l congregation assem-
bled on this occasion were further gratified by an excellent sermon from
the Bishop of Durham ; and deep satisfaction was fea on beholding the
Bishop of Lichfield sufficiently we:l to pay this tribute to the memory of
one who valued him so highly.—Warwiek. Advertiser.
