LONDON,
FRIDAY EVENING, JANUARY 28, 1831.

Jgovernment have received despatches from
ilelalid, this morning, which state that the Grand
I,i;}' have found a true bill against Mr. O'CoN-
LL and the other agitators.

teat Powers was held this morning, at the
Foreign Office.

that Would appear by the news from Portsmouth,

ti°43of putting our Naval department on a more
r eslctable footing than hitherto. The present

LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY).

ROLLS COURT•

The Mama:. of the ROLLS took petitions and causes to-
day, none of which, up to the period of our reporter leav-
ing, were of the least pudic interest. His Honour, in the
course of the morning, intimated his intention of not sit-
ting on Tuesday and Wednesday, as he wished to dispose
,f two important cases as early as possible, and in conse•
(pence of the Court sitting every day he found it utterly
impossible to find time to look into the points which these
cases involved. His Honour's general petition day is
Thursday next.

Co URT OF KING'S BENCH.
At the sitting of the Court Lotd TENTERDEN delivered
judgment in several cases, none of which, however, pos-
sessed sufficient public interest to rtOport, as they turned
entirely on dry and technical points of law.
Their Lordships afterwards proceeded with the new
trial paper until twelve o'clock, when the case of " The
King v. the Merchant Tai'ors' Company" was called.
This is an application for a mandamus to compel the
Master and Wardens of the Company to allow an inspec-
tion of their books and accounts by the Livery of the Com-
pany. The arguments are likely to occupy the whole day.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER.
DOE V. WILLIAMS.

Mr. TEMPLE, on behalf of the defendant in this case,
moved the Court for a rule to show cause why the venue
should not be changed for the trial of this case, from Car-
narvonshire to Merionethshire. The Learned Counsel
grounded his motion upon affidavits, which stated that this
was an action of ejectment, for the purpose of ascertain-
ing a very important right to the parties, and formed the
subject of continual conversation among his Majesty's loyal
subjects residing in Carnarvonshire. The case had been
tried once, and the Jury found for the plaintiff. That
verdict 1.a.1 been set aside, and a new trial had been
granted The defendant apprehended, and his motion
was founded upon that apprehension, that there would not
be a fair trial in Carnarvonshire, en account of the feeling
that had been manifested in that county. The affidavit
stated that there were only S 7 special jurors in the whole
county of Carnarvon, eight of whom had been on the
former Jury, and three were described as slate merchants.
They had been honoured with that appellation, simply
because they were employed in carrying slates from the
mountains to the sea coast. One of tnese gentlemen was a
short time ago a journeyman tailor; and the other two, pre-
vious to taking upon themselves the honourable office of slate
carrying, had followed the calling of shoe-makers. This
reduced the number of jurors in this part of the world to
twenty-six, of which number one was a material witness
in the cause, and two others were materially interested in
it ; another was a brother-in-law to the plaintiff's attorney,
and twelve more were his clients. Upon the announce-
ment of these facts by the Learned Counsel, the whole
Court was convulsed with laughter. Mr. Temple, upon
this state of facts, trusted the Court would grant the rule
that was asked for by his client.
Lord LYNDHURST—Take a rule to chew cause, Mr.
Temple.
Mr. Josat JERVIS trusted their Lordships would order
cause to be shewn in the present term, otherwise the case
would not be tried at the next Assizes.

Mr. Baron VAUGHAN-That is impossible, they can-
not receive the rule until Sunday at the earliest, and the
term ends on Monday.
The CouRT then allowed cause to be shewn at chambers.
