KING'S BENCH-WEDNESDAY.

THE PING V. THE NEW RIVER COMPANY.
This was an appeal against the levying of a rate upon the
defendants in respect of the property in pipes, &c., belong-
ing to them, and of which they had a profitable occupation
in the parish of St. James, Clerkenwell.
Mr. S. B. HARMER appeared for the appellants.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL took judgment for the re-
spondents.

The COURT was occupied during the rest of the day with
cases of poor-law settlement.

BAIL COURT.
GOODMAN V. LORDS GLENTWORTH, TORRINGTON, AND

OTHERS.

Mr. ERLE showed cause against a rule obtained in the
present Term in this case for setting aside judgment, first,
on the ground that the transaction which formed the sub-
ject of the motion was an usurious one, and next, that
there was an irregularity in entering up judgment. Lord
Glentworth had, in June, 1832, signed a warrant of attor-
ney, by which he bound himself, conjointly with Lord Tor-
rington, the Hon. Mr. Hay, Mr. Beresford, and another,
all being officers of the 7th Royal Fusileers, to pay at the
end of two years the sum of 1,5001. for receiving at that
time the sum of 5001. The money was raised for the ac-
commodation of Lord Glentworth, the other officers be-
coming parties to the instrument already mentioned as se-
curities for the payment of the sum agreed upon. On the
back of the warrant of attorney was a defeasance, by which
•the sum of 5001. was acknowledged to have been received,
and by which it was agreed that judgment should be entered
up, and execution issue forthwith, but that no levy should
be made until the expiration of ten years, the period of time
which it was stipulated should be suffered to elapse before
the repayment should be required. It was not denied that
judgment had been entered up immediately after the in-
strument was perfected, but it was now contended by the
Counsel for the defendant that the judgment was irregular.
Mr. PLATT, in favour of the rule, contended that the
judgment was not irregular, but invalid.
His LORDSHIP should reserve his opinion as to whether
the judgment was only irregular, or whether it was invalid,
until to-morrow.

THE KING V. LOMAS.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL moved for a rule to show
cause why a criminal information should not issue against
the defendant, who was the proprietor and publisher of the
Stockport Advertiser, for a libel.—Rule granted.

ADMIRALTY COURT, WEDNESDAY.

THE PETREL.
In this case a motion was made to-day by the King's
Advocate, praying the Court to decree a warrant of arrest
against the Petrel, which had been taken out of the autho-
rity of the Court, and to issue on attachment against the
master and mate.

The COURT said that the vessel had been already ar-
rested, but it would have no difficulty in issuing attach-
ments against the master and mate, who were in contempt.

THE SARAH BARRY._SALVAGE. •
This was a question of salvage, claimed by four Margate
boats, namely, the Fox, a lugger, and three galleys, the
Mary, the Hope, and the Queen, for services rendered by
them to the Sarah Barry, a vessel of about 268 tons
burthen, bound from London to Jamaica, with a general
cargo. The Sarah Barry was proceeding on her voyage,
when, on the 23d December last, the wind blowing
W.N.W., and the fog being extremely dense, she struck on
the Foreness Rocks, which are situated about two miles
east of Margate. There were some slight differences be-
tween the statements of the salvors and owners as to the
circumstances connected with the getting off the vessel
from the rocks, an object which was effected by four o'clock
in the morning of the 24th of December. Before the sal-
vors reached the Sarah. Barry, the Albion steam-vessel,
400 tons burthen, and 100-horse power, had used every
exertion to rescue the vessel, but in vain. The value of the
ship and cargo was 5,5601., and no tender had been made.

Sir JonN NICHOLL thought that it would be no act of
injustice to the owners to allot out of the large sum of
.5,5601., 2001. amongst the salvors, there being twenty-six
shares, together with the costs:
