The parish clerk of Petersham was buried yester-
day, pith extraordinary honour ; he held the situation for
sixty-five years. It is a singular circumstance, that there have
been
three persons holding that office, for the long period
of one
only nihiindred andits sixty-six years; and as a further proof of
the longevity-of inhabitants, we are told that there are six
or seven persons now enjoying good health, who have nearly
attained their hundredth year.

A GOOD MATCII.—it is stated that, a few days
since, the widow of the late Mr. Thwaitcs, the grocer and tea-
dealer in Fenehurch-street, who, on his demise, bequeathed to
her the bulk of his property, amounting to nearly half a mil-
lion sterling, has been mauled to Mr. Smith, a stock-broker,
and member of the Stock Exchange. Mrs. Thsv.aitcs, who
at one time bad been but a domestic in the service of her
former husband, it is said bas settled 100,000/. on her fortunate
suitor and his two daughters by a former marriage.

hifi WHITEHOUST;aI(I;IIePresent was an action of a
novel nature, to recover damages to the amount of between:
71. and 8/., for the injury which the plaintiff had sustained
in consequence of the defendant having baked some hair to.
a cinder. The plaintiff wal a hairdresser in the Circus,,,
near the Surrey Theatre, and the defendant was a baker,
living then, viz., in May, 1835, in The Circus also. The
plaintiff was eminent for manufacturing Ladies' fronts and
wigs, and gentlemen's also ;he had sent a vast quantity to
the defendant's oven on the 15th May, and when he ap-
plied for them on the following morning, they were con-
sumed. The defendant-had expressed his sorrow, acid pro-
mised to make good the loss ; but he had subs;,:,:ugntly
left the neighbourhood and resided near or at Poplar, and
now he denied his liability.
Issue was proved on the part of the plaintiff.
William Watts, formerly in the service of the defendant,.
said that the plaintiff had very frequently sent him cases of
hair to be baked at the rate of three halfpence a case. He
had complained that sometimes they were done too much,
they were too crisp, and sometimes he said they were un-
derdone, and would not curl. On the 15th of May, when
the plaintiff's servant girl brought the case with the hair int
question, she said, " My Master says he will thank you not
to do them too much." Defendant replied to her, " Tell
your master that I don't understand baking his hairs, and
I will not do them." The girl went away, leaving the case
upon the counter, when in two or three minutes the plain-
tiff came over to his master's shop and said to him, " Mr.
Hawley, if you will put them in the oven, you will obligo
me very much."—" Why," said the defendant, " I have
had so many complaints, that I am determined I will have
nothing- to do with them." The plaintiff still urged his
master to bake the hairs. The next morning, when
the servant came about eight o'clock, his master called
to him to bring Op the hairs. When they were taken
out of the oven they were burned to a cinder, and were
thrown into the yard. The plaintiff came over soon after,
and regarded the singed hair with much regret, observing,
" Alt me I was out late last night, and forgot to tell them
at home to send for them." Some few days after witness
went over to the plaintiff with a baking of meat, when be
said to witness, " A pretty mess you got into with those
women's fronts ; they called me all the scoundrels they could
lay their tongues to, because they said for want of their
fronts they could not go to Church.—(Much laughing.)
But I will send the bill over to your master for 3/. or 41."
'Witness replied, " Why master has nothing to do with
it." Plaintiff then said, " Oh, I will then send it to the
man." Witness replied to that threat, " I wish you may
catch it."—(A laugh.)
On his cross-examination, witness said that the bill was
not sent in for three or four months ; that the oven was so
cold that she could not bake a sprat.—(A laugh.)
After much consideration the jury returned a verdict
for 4/. 18.6 d., being the amount of the value of the hair to
the plaintiff, who, it appeared, had charged the ladies for
the new fronts proportionably. The list delivered in was
eighteen.
