Mr. MARRYAT opened the case to the Jury. The defendant
was proprietor of the Sunday newspaper called the. Guardian,
which, in April, 1820, he engaged with the. plaintiff to print.
As Mr. Wood could not enter o❑ the business without incur-
ring considerable expense for. new types, he wished for a
written agreement, which accordingly was.signed, and which
was'the fOnndation of the present action. By this agreement
Mr. Street bound himself to. employ Mr. Wood, as printer of
the Guardian, for 10 months, or at all events for the rest'of
the year, and to pay him 251. a week for printing 1,000
copies, which was the regular number,and an additional suit)
.for all copies printed over that number when wanted. Mr.
Wood accordingly purchased new types at a very large ex-
pense, and began to perform his duty; having nothing, of
course, to do with the sentiments of the paper, which were
:directed by the Editor. The leading articles often were not
sent till Saturday, and sometimes not till a very late hour of
the night, because they were frequently furnished by persons
in high stations in the country. Thus the printer was ne-
cessarily put to great troulAle ►n order to ensure an early
publication.
The Loan CHIEF JUSTICE interposed, and suggested that
the matter bad better he settled out of Court.

Mr. MARRYAT said, that he did not intend to introduce
any names in the course of the cause.
The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE said, he had no doubt that he
would not. It was not with that view that he made the sug-
gestion, but because he thought that the ends of justice would
be best secured by such a course.
Mr. MARRYAT, however, proceeded. . The, only defence
which he could anticipate was, that the publication was not
sufficiently early. There was no stipulation in the agreement
on this point, but it was, no doubt, understood that the print-
ing should be completed in reasonable time; but then it Must-
hare been understood also, that the copy should be furnished.
in reasonable time. Now, the matter was often_ sent very
late from the Editor; five columns were reserved far adver-
tisements, which, being in small letter, required snore labour;
but, milder all disadvantages, the paper was ready for publi-
cation at half-past four in the morning. The excellence of
the printing would scarcely be disputed, for he (Mr. Marryat)
understood that there was but one paper in London so well
ptinted• To this there was only one exception, when the de-
fendant sent a wooden block to represent the execution of
certain conspirators, which he was desirous to have intro-
duces' into the paper, came himself to insist on its insertion,
and wetted some of the paper so as to injure its appearance
after it was printed. The truth was, that the defendant was
desirous of getting rid of the agreement, because he bad
found some one else who would live in the house where the
paper was published, and would, in consideration of this ad-
vantage, do the work -for a less sum. He could prove that
1,000 copies were always ready at the proper time, and that
when snore were wanted, the messenger never waited longer
' than a quarter-of an hour before he received a supply.
The Loan CHIEF JUSTICE again interposed, and said that
as it was a question of amount of damages, it was the most
proper subject for a reference. He had no end but justice in
this, as in every other case, and justice would be best attained
by an inquiry out of Court.
The plaintiff was accordingly sent for, and a long consulta-
tion took ;lace between his Counsel and Mr. SCARLETT and
Mr. DEN lAN, who were for the defendant. Ultimately his
Lordship's suggestion was adopted, and the cause referred,
on the usual terms, to Mr. D. F. Jones.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, FEB. 20.
GARLAND V. JEKYLL AND ANOTHER.

This was an action brought by the plaintiff, who is lord of
the manor of Weeks-park-hall, in the county of Essex, to re-
cover from the defendants, as executors of the late Sir Charles
Bunbury, a sum of 2,6001. the value of 14 horses, claimed by
him as heriots, to which he was entitled by the custom of the
manor. Sir Charles was tenant, by copy of court-roll, of a
portion of this manor, which had descended to him from two
sisters, who held it in coparcenary, through their several in-
termediate representatives; in the course of which descent it
became subdivided into 14 lesser estates.. Now the plaintiff
contended, that the original estate being once severed, each
of the minor estates continued a separate and distinct estate
for ever afterwards, although they all happened to centre in
the one individual, and as such were liable, by the custom of
the manor, each to a separate and specific beriot. In support
of this position, the court-roll of the manor was produced in
evidence, to prove, front entries in it, that in two or three
instances, distinct heriots had been paid to the lord for some
of the subdivided estates, before they descended to Sir Charles
Bonbury.
The defendants insisted, that when an estate descended
from a copiircener to her representatives, it still retained its
quality of unity, and was therefore only liable to one beetot.
This part of the case was reserved for the consideration of
the Court in Bunco, which is to decide whether or not the
defendants are liable by law to pay a specific heriot for each
of the subdivisions of the original estate which had descend-,
ed to Sir Charles Runhury; if so, in what proportions it was:
liable ; and then, how far the particular custom of this manor
controuled the general law in the present case.
A question then went to the Jury under these.eircum-
stances :—After the death of Sir- Charles, two men were
sent by the plaintiff down to Barton, where Sir Charles's
stud was, to seize or demand the heriots. These persons
were shown. into the paddock by the groom of the steed,
where they saw 22 blood-horses, a list of the names of which
they took down from the month of the groom, who told
them that the horse " Smolensko" was then at Dr. Clark's,
in Yorkshire. Upon coming away, the groom informed them
that there were two others, which they had not yet seen;—
to which they replied, that they had seen enough for their
purpose. They, however, entered Smolensko's name at the,
top of the list. The stud was subsequently sold at Tatter-
sall's by consent, without prejudice to this claim ; and
Smolensk° fetched no less a sum than 1,300 guineas.—
The jury was therefore to decide,. supposing the plaintiff's
claim to the heriots to be well founded, Whether or not he
was entitled to the value of Smolensk° as one of them ?, the
plaintiff's counsellontending, that he bad made a selection
of him amongst others, as appeared from his name being en-
tered on the list ; whilst the counsel fur the defendant insist-
ed, that the persons who went to Barton selected two-and-
twenty (the number to which they then thought the plaintiff
entitled) front those which were in the paddocks; and that
they could not have selected Smolensk°, as they had not seen.
him, he being in Yorkshire at the time.
The Jury retired from Court to deliberate, and after about
half an hour's absence, returned with a verdict for the plain-
tiff for the value of so many heriots as the Court shall .pro-
nounce him entitled to, to be chosen from amongst those
horses which the persons sent by the plaintiff to Barton bad
seen in the paddocks.
Messrs. Sergeants YELL and BLossET, SCRIVEN, and another
Gentleman, were Counsel for the plaintiffs. Messrs. Ser-
geants LENS, Bosalgotrer, and TYNDA LI., for the defendants.
The trial occupied the whole day.

Yesterday the sale of the late QUEEN'S furni-
ture commenced at Cambridge House. A great
crowd collected at an early hour. The auc-
tion, which will last for eight days, began by the
sale of the lease of the house,which was knocked
down for 85001. _ _

We are sorry to say, that accounts reached
Brighton yesterday morning, stating the alarming
indisposition of Mr. COUTTS ; Mr. C. is so ill
that his life is despaired of. The Countess of
GUILDFORD left this place for London imme-
diately on receiving the melancholy intelligence.
