LAW INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY).

The object of this suit was to set aside a surrender of
property in Yorkshire, obtained by the defendant from the
iintiff under misrepresentation. It appeared that the
Plaintiff was a young woman in low circumstance;, being
a. bar-maid of the Bull Inn in Manchester, and the de.
fenlint was her uncle. The plaintiff was entith dto
the property in question, which was worth up-
Wa-ds of one thousand pounds, under the wi 1 of her
grandfather. The defendant, who wes about to bring an
talon of ejectment against the party in possession, repre-
lentd that it would be of great advantage to the plaintiff and
the proper proceeding of the suit, if he was allowed to use her
name and had full authority to act for her, and eventually he
offered her 501. for the whole of her interest. This she re-
f ised,and then he made her a further offer of 1001.,which she
consented to accept, being totally ignorant of her rights,
tad having no advice as to the course she ought to adopt.
The instruments of surrender were executed, the action of
ejectment gained, but the plaintiff never received the pi o-
Mised sum. After several ineffectual applications for this
cum to her uncle. she went to law with him, anti after-
Wards went as nurse to a lady, and while .residing there
received a letter from Air. Clarke, the solicitor for the de-
fendant, stating that the propertyhad been recovered,and that
the money would soon be forthcoming ; but in the mean time
requesting her to say nothing to any person about the
Matter, as it might prejudice the c ause. Ultimately she
Was induced to take legal advice, being told that she had
been imposed upon, and that the transaction not being
legal, would be set aside. Immediately on discovering
that the plaintiff had taken advice on the subject, the
Uncle became exceedingly anxious that she should receive
her money, but which she
.refused, and then instituted the
Present suit.
The MASTER of the Routs ordered the surrender to be
let aside with costs, requesting to have a brief on each side,
*hick lie would carefully read over, and if, upon that read-
ing, he found that Mr. Clarke was as deeply engaged in
the transaction as he had been represented to be, he (the
blaster of the Rolls) should consider it his duty to lay those
briefs before the Lord Chancellor, when it would be for
1',61 Lordship to consider whether under such circumstances
Mr. Clarke ought longer to be permitted to remain on the
/lolls of the Court.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH.
GAME LAWS,-...THE KING V. THORGUGHGOOD•
This was an appeal, from.a conviction by the Magis-
trates of Suffolk, against the defendant, the proprietor of a
hal plying as a carrier. It appeared that a constable,
aimed Ward, procured a search warrant, and waited for
the defendant's van at an inn, on his line of road, in
November ;it came up, driven by a servant of the
Ilefendant called Smith when be proceeded to search,
dad after going through nearly the whole of the parcels in
the van, he came to a hamper containing four _hares and
four pheasants, packed under four fowls ; the hamper
tvas directed to a person named Darling, Leaflenhall-
trket, and was so parked that no suspicion could he en-
rtained of its containing game. The driver of the van
had no suspicion that it did so; he offered no resistance
to the officer, and told who he got it from, and stated
that his master gave him orders never to take game, un-
less it was properly directed, meaning that, besides the
direction of where it was to go, the direction must also
Irate from whom it came. He, the defendant, was sum-
'boned before the Magistrates, and, on evidence of these
foots being given, he was fined 401., being 5/. for every
' bead of game, as directed by the statute of sth Anne. If
the penalty is Int paid, t' e Act directs three months' im-
Dtisonment.

The defendant pleaded in defence that he had no know-
dge that the hamper contained game, and that his servant
N.ll equally ignorant.
Mr. CAMPBELL now appeared against the conviction,
tad contended that this conviction arose from the decision
°f the case of the King v. March, second Barnwell and
eresswell, page '707, where a man was fined for carrying
lev,eral live pheasants and partridges, but in that case the
Pilaster did not plead ignorance of the basket containing
tame, but merely pleaded that the act of the servant did
IN bind him, as he was not with the van when the game
lcos received. This case was essentially different from
os
'Os and if such a construction were put on the Act
, Anne, it would lead to manifest injustice. An
Icnkeepee might be fined for having in his house garee
kvreted by any person without his knowledge or consent,
°c'tny common informer might leave a parcel marked as
containing glass or any other article, and then procure a
search warrant and get the master of the inn fined for a
thing of which he was totally ignorant, for in th,-se cases
„
'ut half of the fine goes to the informer. The case with
4 carrier was very hard, and surely the Court would not
411,1 e carriers to enter into such Custom-house strictness
c.f. search and inquiry, and he (Mr. C.) trusted that the
t;aurt would quash the conviction and prevent his unfor-
tcoate client from being sent to prison.
Me. ANDREWS appeared in support of the conviction,
440 he admitted that the case was decided on the autho-
tit). of the King v. March ; but he contended that in that
!,6! Lord Tenterden, and all the other Judges seriatim,
'rdided that a carrier having game in his possession was
'able under the Act, and that no guilty knowledge was
llocessary to sustain a conviction. The Learned Gentle-
Ltlan said, let it once be decided that Ito conviction could
"c• had unless a guilty knowledge on the part of the car-
tier could be proved, and then the Act would be useless;
for the carriers would immediately say to their employers,
de
-Bore you pack your game- to look like something else,
44'1 then we will incur no penalty.
Lord TENTERDEN said the Court would defer its judg-
taent to look into the Act, and they would also take the
tcle of the King v. March into their consideration.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.

I 4 dpe Aplication bad been made in this case to tax
Pro the bill of
;Ifendant, and upon referring it to theProthonotary
it had been reduced a sixth, the consequence of which was
east upon the defendant the expences and costs of the
vtation,
Alr. Serjeant JONES had on a previous day applied far
rule to tax the costs of the reference, and that the de-
'
,lidant should pay all expences attending the same.
hlr. Serjeant BUMPUS now showed cruse against the
PIN on the ground that the defendant had previously ap-
t for the bill for the purpose of discharging it, but the
t'tntiff's attorney had neglected to deliver it, and there-
4tte he (Mr. Serjeant Burnpus) objected to his client
called upon for the expences of the application,
"each he designated as vexatious arid uncalled for.
Serjeant JONES contended that it was only the or-
lit)? motion.
Abe LORD CHIEF JUSTICE said it was unnecessary to
in motion the power of the Court after the offer that
vti been made by the defendant. The plaintiff was en-
fled to his costs of taxation, but must pay for this motion.
the Court then granted for the defendant to ray the
t'renees of taxation, without allowing the costs of the

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sin,— I have to congratulate you on the prospect o'
another abaundant harvest. The wheat has recovery'
itself from the sickly and yellow hue which the frost)
nights and north-east winds which prevailed in the earl)
part of the last month had conferred upon it, and is now
as green and gross as the most sanguine farmer can desire,
and is in many places already in ear. The oats and the
early sown barley look equally healthy and kind with ti.
wheat, and even the latter sown barley has wonderful!)
improved within the few last days. The potatoes hay.
also recovered from the effects of the late severe frosts. Hay-
making has been in progress for some weeks in our waty
meadows, which yield a good swathe, but the grass
the uplands is very short, and is stinted beyond the power
of rain to force into a productive crop. Turnip sowin..l
has commenced, and in some situations the plants are
and with a continuance of the present fine weather and a
few showers, will soon he beyond the reach of the fly
The sheep and lambs were never in better condition, and
already whiten our specious healthy Downs. The her-
bage on the Downs is at present but short, owing to the
cold dry weather of last month, but with a few genial
showers they will produce an abundant supply for sheep
during the summer months. Sheep-shearing has partially
commenced, and in another week it will be general. In
short our agricultural prospects are as pleasing as our
political ones, and an abundant harvest, which we have
every reason to anticipate, and the passing of the Reform
Bill, are the surest means of rendering this country not in
words but in truth, " The envy and admiration of sur-
rounding nations." I remain, Y.USTIC.
By the returns of our parish officers, it appears that the
population of this city amounts to 8,300, being an increase
in ten years of about 560 souls, or one in every fifteen.
The last population was 7,739.

The Captain of a privateer writing to his
owners an account of an engagement, informed them of
his "having had one of his hands shot through the nose."

CHOLERA AND FEVER.—(From the Lon •
does Medical Gazette, June 4.)—A report has been very
prevalent during the past week that cholera, of the same
character as that prevailing in the north of Europe, hail
made its appearance in some of the hospitals of the metro-
polis nearest the port of London. We have instituted the
necessary inquiries, and find the rumour to he without any
foundation whatever. Prob tbly it may have originated in
the circumstance of a fever, of rather severe character, being
at present common in various districts, and among otheis
in the neighbourhood of the river. An interesting account
of the disease, as it showed itself in the 'hospital ship
Grampus, will be found in our present number.

There are loud complaints daily made against
the steam-vessels for going at such a rate in the river as
to endanger all the small craft within the great swell
which they make in the water. Notwithstanding the
numerous complaints publicly made to the Loan illavoa
and the Thames-police magistrates, the desperate nuisance
not only continues unabated, but actually is increased.
Several gentlemen, in expressing their indignation to the
city magistrates, have decl iced that if they knew of any
means by which the proprietors could be punished for the
total neglect of human life, testified by the violent manner
in which the vessels are propelled, they would at once re-
sort to such means. The Court of Aldermen, are, it
seems, after al they have said and done about steam-
vessels, powerh ss in cases of the kind. They have issued
orders upon orders to the owners of the steam vessels, and
to the harbour masters on the subject, but unfortunately
without producing any good consequence to the public.

The Wharf St. Nicholas, opposite the Louvre,
presents at this moment a most curious scene. Several
families from Wurtemherg and other countries beyond the
Rhine are daily arriving, to await the departure of the
steam-boat for Havre, from whence they will embark for
America. Thee emigrants are, for the tnost part, far-
mers in easy circumstances, who have sold their property,
and are going abroad to settle. Many of these families
have from I 5 to 20 children, who, with the men and
women, retain their national costume. They sleep under
a species of tents, ranged under the walls of the quay,
surrounded by covered waggons, in which they have
stored their goods. The women cook and wash their
clothes as if they were at home, though surrounded by
crowds of the curious, amongst whom may he observed
many artists, making sketches of the interesting groups.—

MELANCHOLY DEATH OF MR. GAMBLE.
—Died on the 11th ult., JOHN GAMBLE, Esq., of Stra-
bane, Author of •' Views of Society and Manners in the
North of Ireland," and several other works. He had
walked partly to Lifrord, and accompanied the funeral of
the late Mrs. HUMPHREYS to the grave-yard, and whilst
in the church, at the reading of the funeral service, he
dropped down and instantly expired.

me following catastrophe may be of some
service as a caution to flock►nasters and shepherds having
the care of sheep. Mr. BENJAMIN JOHNSON, of Dogs-
thorpe, near Peterborough, having a field of beans which
had a considerable quantity of chickweed and groundsel
among them, and having a large flock of ewes and lambs,
on Friday last turned them into the field to eat the weeds.
After they had been in a short time, the shepherd who
wag attending them observed thi►ty of the flock to drop
suddenly, and upon examination, to his utter astonishment,
he found that seven of them were actually dead, and it was
observed also that the whole flock was affected. Mr. J.
was immedia,ely apprised of the melancholy disaster, and
medicine was speedily administered, which, we arc happy
to say, restored the remainder of the flock. Upon exa-
mination of those that were deaJ, it was found that they
had eaten so voraciously, that the stomach was heaved to
suffocation.—Stamford News.

PUBLIC WHlPPlNG.—Yesterday morning a
man named DAY, who was convicted last Suriey Sessions
of stealing a pair of trowsers from the shop of a pawn-
broker, in Westminster-road, underwent his sentence of
whipping at the cart's tail in the York-road. The punish-
ment appeared to he very severe, and he screamed dread-
fully during its infliction.

We regret that the spirit of incendiarism has
not yet subsided in Hampshire. A barn, containing about
five loads of wheat, was wilfully set on fire on the night
of Saturday last, at Soberton, near Bishop's Waltham, and
entirely consumed. Some unhappy differences between the
farmers an4l the agricultural labourers have lately occurred
in the parish, and one of the latter has been apprehended
on suspicion of being the incendiary, and committed to
Bridewell for further examination.-11ampshireehronicle

" PANGS OF DESPISED LOVE."—A young
woman, servant to Mr. PHILIP STRONG, of Oxford-street,
dropped down on Thursday morning whilst reading a letter
she hitd just received by the post, and in a few minutes
afterwards expired ! On examining the billet, it ap-
peared to have been written by a young man, who had
fornaetly been the fellow servant and professed admirer of
the unfortunate girl, the contents of which were to inform
her that he bad lately been married to another woman.

ILL-REQUITED LOVE.—The passion of love,
so powerful- in its influence over the most savage beasts,
rules with a feeble and transitory sway over the subjects of
our present inquiry. The male spider approaches the
female with the greatest circumspection, fearful lest the
sexual feeling should not have banished that thirst for blood
which, under ordinary circumstances, inducts them to prey
as readily on each other as on winged insects. It there-
