CORK, Nov. 11,,,

When Our Messenger 141 Cove this day at eleven
o'clock, the West-Inoia bleat .were getting under
weigh.
Kelly, a Watch Gostable, was on Tuesday morn-

ing going his rounds before five o'clock, and itt
Cook street, Uuhlin, diAcOvered a number of men,
apparently from the country, and havite-- suspiei,,ti,
of their way, of life, followed them, ;11(f beard
lament they could not, at that hour, get any think—
being alone, hut. not willing to kise Cie opportunnx .
of investigating fm titer into their designs; told these
he would bring them to a punch-house where tb(-1
would get some; and after entering into conver-
tion with them, induced them to accompany him to-
the-house of one Feels; a publican, iii Bridge-sireet ;
they accordingly went there, and- having knocked,
up Feely, Kelly told him his saspicions of them,
and went to the .wateb-house, be ready wit
assistance if Feely.should stt..l to Nal ; accordingly
it turned out as pre-styposed—Feely, with that
praise-worthy conduct
,whiell we could wish to sez
adopted by other men in his business, was not lons
without tieing ;atistied that the men be was enter-
taining were robbers, and sent to Kelly, who „came
with assistance, when they took into custody five its
desperate looking ruffians as can be imagined; aril
conveyed them befora the Sup:A-intendant Magi-
strate ; . they were; eac(i of them armed «nth a hnr'',l'
pistol, highly loaded, and had pi.opcily iu &lit to .t
large .amount, and other or:4:11/4.6 ; ino4 of them

wiboved tot a little calling upon the
can, ilissioners of Compensation to slim cause why
a Writ of Inquiry should not is,ue to ascertain and

;tit at. , by a Jury summoned for the .purpose, the
damages and losses sustained by the Grocet'a Coin-
paoy, ir. consequvcB of that body being ousted of
Certain privileges which .they possessed time trnme7
iorial, in the legal quays, . but of which they are.
now deprived by the establishment of the London
Docks. He stated that the Grocer's Company had the:
privilege of notninating to the place or appointment
of Porters on thelegal Quays certain persons, and
that they had enjoyed this power.exclusively a long
series of yearS. That,. in hiOt, by the constitution of
their charter, they were themselves the atival Pore
ters on 'these Quays; but that instead of exercising
Attila business themselves, they constantly appointed
others, 'who derived certain benefits and advantages
therefrom.. That 'by the establishment of theton-
don Decks, the'se benefits were: taken away, and
they now sought for that recompense under the ACt
of the 39tb of the King, sec. 12 t and 122, which
enacts, that in all cases where any Body .Corporate
or individual Shall suOr loss by reason of the est&
blishment of these Docks, that in all such cases
a Jury shall b'esunirrioned by the Sheriff to assess the
damages so sustained, and that the party soSuffering
shall be compenited aceordingly.--The Court in-,

quired ifthe Affidavit stated w-liat the interest,. was
explicitly which the putters on the leal quays en-
oyed. _ _ _

TADDY read the affidavit, and it itated geno-
raily, that the Con-ipany had au interest in the ap-
pointrneut of tbe!ie persons, but it did not specify the
nature of that interest.

Lord ELLENBOROUGH here observed, that the affi-
davit was, not stifficientli specific, and the Court
could not grasp at shadows.
The Learned Gentleman replied, that as the affi-
davit asserted h loss generally, he humbly conceived
that to be sufficient for his purpose there, as it
would be at a future time and place for ahry to say
'what the actual and specific damage and loss should
appear to be, trout the eVidenee they should hear.
Lord ELI,RN,BOROUGIL.7O--" Its they have an in-
terea, they ,1.1l(1,stly upon oath what ;that interest
is, and what the loss which they .have sustained, to
dutitlc them to their writ."-,--Rule refused.
