DAVIES V. THE MARCHIONESS OF HASTINGS

This case came before the Court upon a motion to dig
charge an order for a sequestration, and to set aside the writ m
sequestration obtained by the plaintiff against the defendant,
the Marchioness of Hastings, on the ground of irregularity.
It appeared the subpcena and writ were left with
the servants of the defendant at Noel House, Kensington, the
clerk of the solicitor for the plaintiff at the time of the service
(the 18th of January), having been informed by the servants
that her Ladyship was in Scotland, but would re-
turn in March. It was insisted on behalf of the defen-
dant that the service was irregular, inasmuch as she was at
the time in Scotland. If the subpoena was irregularlyserved
all the subsequent proceedings were irregul.r, and ought to
be set aside. His Lordship was of opinion the service
of the subpoena was regular, an that the order nisi
for a sequestration was regularly obtained. The order nisi
was by the terms of it to be made absolute unless the
defendant, having personal notice thereof, should within
a limited time shew good cause to the contrary. In
this case the defendant had personal notice of the
'order and did not slim cause why it should not be
made absolute. But the objection was that she received
the notice in Scotland, out of the jurisdiction of the Court
In cases where a defendant was out of the jurisdiction, the
plaintiff was not bound to go out of the jurisdiction, for the
purpose of giving forn.al notice of the, order ; but, that the
ends of justice might not be defeated, tne Court would order
service at the dwei:ing-hots of the ',arty to be good service.
The defendant having a dwell:ng-house within the jurisdiction,
and servants residing there, there was every prcb Ability that a
notice given there would b., communicated to the defendant.
His Lordship had not beet able to find any authorities or, the sub.
jest, but he had received a certificate from several officers of the
Court, who certified that in their opinion a personal service ti
an order nisi for sequestration on the plaintiffout of the juris-
diction, did enable the pLintiff to make such order absolute.
The sole object of the sery ice was, notice, and in that respect it

differed materially from the service of writs of process.
Under all the circumstances, his Lordship did not consider the
°tau- nisi to have been irregular; but considering that uo au-
thority on this point could be found, he was desirous of
affording Lady Hastings an opportunity of appearing ; and,
therefore, upon the payment of costs and her appearing, the
further execution of the writ might be stayed.

GRAND REVIEW, HYDE PARK._
(THIS DAY.)

A great crowd collected in Hyde Parke this morning at
an early hour, to see the grand military review by her
Majesty-. Among the company present, we noticed their
Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge,
Prince George of Cambridge, Duke of Nassau, Prince
Esterhazy, Prince Schwarzenburg, Duke de Nemours,
Count Sehastiani, Marshal Soult, Count Strogonoff,
Serene Highness Prince Saxe Cobourg, his Grace the Duke
of Wellington, with a great number of Noblemen and
Gentlemen.

The Troops at ten o'clock formed in contiguous Co-
lumns (the Cavalry in close Column,—the Infantry at
quarter distance) in the following order from the right, viz.:
Royal Horse Artillery,—
Household Cavalry Brigade,—
First Battalion Rifle Brigade,—
Brigade of Foot Guards,—
Second Battalion Rifle Brigade,—
Light Cavalry,—
Field Batteries of Artillery.
as Her Majesty arrived the Horse Artillery

As soon
fired a salute.

At hal past 11 o'clock the Royal Standard was hoisted
near to her Mljesty's carriage.
Her Majesty shortly afterwards proceeded in her car-
riage with the Duchess of Kent, attended by the Duchess
of Sutherland and the Marchioness of Lansdowne, fol-
lowed by a carriage in which were the Earl of Albemarle
and other Officers of the Household.
Her Majesty proceeded down the line of spectators,
returning at a slow pace along the whole line of troops--
the troops presenting arms. As soon as her Majesty had
resumed her station, surrounded by the illuslrilus Foreign
Ambassadors and their suites, and her Majesty's Staff,
the Troops marched past in slow time, after which the
Artillery and the Cavalry formed in close columns upon
the right of the ground.

The Foot Guards and the Rifle Brigade then marched
past in quick time, wheeled upon the line of the original
formation, and formed in line.

Wililst the infantry were forming, the artillery and the
cavalry trotted by, and having passed, wheeled—the
cavalry forming line about two hundred paces in rear of
the infantry—and the Horse Artillery forming on the right,
and the field batteries on the left, of the line of infantry.
As soon as the Infantry found their front clear, they
Commenced tiring volleys by Battalions from the right.
The Infantry then advanced—the two Rifle Battalions
in Column, and the Foot Guards in line.
The line then retired in direct echelon of battalions.
from the left, halted, and formed squares on the centre
subdivisions of battalions.
The squares then fired.
The squares re-formed column, and retired in column,
forming in rear of the Cavalry.

The Cavalry advanced and then attacked, and retired
by threes from the right of squadrons, through the inter-
vals of the Infantry, and formed into line.
After which the infantry resumed their original position,
by deploying, covered by skirmishers, the artillery firing
from the flanks. The infantry then commenced file firirg.
The firing having ceased both Lines advanced in parade
order, the Marquis of Anglesey at the head of the line,
and saluted her )Majesty. A Royal salute was then fired,
and her Majesty retired, amidst enthusiastic cheers from
all parts of the immense crowd.
We regret to hear that several accidents occurred owing
to the people loading the branches of the trees too heavily.
A very large branch of one of the trees upon
which not less than from 40 to 50 people had
climbed fell with a most dreadful crash. One
man was killed on the spot, and several were more or
less injured, both of those who were on the branch, and
those who were standing under it. The person who
was killed had the appearance of a labouring male.
He was removed off the ground o❑ some boards. His
skull appeared to be fractured above the temple, as
blood issued from a large wound, and also from his mouth
and ears.

ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
It having been announced that a grand review would
take place in Hyde Park this day, an immense multitude
congregated at an early hour in the Park ; at eleven o'clock there could not have been less than one hun-
dred thousand persons present.
Shortly after eleven o'clock her Majesty arrived, at-
tended by a numerous suite, and was received wherever
she appeared with the most tremendous and enthusiastic
cheering:.
Her Majesty appeared in excellent spirits, and seeme,l
heartily to enjoy the spectacle. The appearance of the Park,
the day being exceedingly fine, was most splendid, and to
the spectator who was fortunate enough to obtain an ele-
vated situation, was at once picturesque and imposing in
the highest degree.
The troops went through their evolutions with admirable
correctness and facility. We were sorry to observe several
accidents occurred, but not, we believe, of a serious de-
scription.

(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)
The appearance of the Hyde Park to-day must have
struck the minds of the illustrious strangers present with
admiratioil if not with wonder and awe. The splendid
evolutions of the whole of the forces engaged in the
sham battle was calculated, as was frequently observed
upon the ground, to ensure peace for at least the life time
of those Foreign Representatives who were present. The
whole of the troops went through their evolutions: uncommonly well ; but the last volley, when the Troops or
the Line, the Rifle Brigade, and the Artillery fired contir,u-
ously, was absolutely grand, and excited wonder. The reNiew
was over at half-past two o'clock, when her Majesty left the
ground amidst the cheers of her devoted subjects, The
venerable Marshal Soult, acoompanied with his Staff,
was the first notable personage who left the Park
after the Royal Cortege. The noble-looking old veteran
was in his Marshal's uniform, and his breast covered with
orders. He was most enthusiastically cheered, and was fully
employed in returning the cheering of the crowd and shaking:
a few of the innumerable bands which were held out t', grapple his. Opposite Apsley House, in the Park, fne
cavalcade was stopped for some time, and the chewing
there was tremendous.
The other Foreign Ambassadors passed without being
recognized.
The troops immediately filed off, and were in full march
to their respective barracks within half an hour of her Ma-
esty leaving.
The day was beautiful, but intensely hot ; and the sellere
of spring water at ld. a pint, and beer, not so good, at 3d.
for the same quantity, made a good harvest.
