THE WEAT 11 Ea.

Yesterday the wind having veered round to the
south-west, the effects of a rapid thaw were
speedily discernible ; autia therefore, it may be
expected that the masses of. snow and ice, with
which our streets are encumbered ‘vili gradually
disappear, without being productive of
,material
inconvenience.
The fall of the river at London-bridge Las for
some days past presented a scene both no.t:el and
interesting., At the eZbi..qg of tire tide, 'huge fr,ig-
ments of ice were precipitated dow.n '_the stream,
with great violence, acconyanied.by a noise equal
to the report of a small piece of artilleey. On the
return of the tide, they were forced beck again;
but'the obstacles opposed to their passage through
the arches were so great as apparently to threaten
a total stoppage to the navigation of the river at
this essential poi it, and which probably would
have soon taken place, had the frost continued
with unabated severity.
Tice body of a woman was, oniTtlesday morn-
ing, found frozento death ou the llighgate-roatl.
She proved to have been a chair‘voinan, returning
from Llighgete, where she had been at work, to

persons are constantly employed in cutting a pas-

On Wednesday evening the Banbury coach, in.
its way to Oxford, was, on account of the heavy
fall of snoW, greatly impeded in its prqgress; hav-

about two miles of this city, it was so enveloped
with snow, that ityvas,found utterly iMpossilde to

Lady, with great difficulty left the coach, and at
the hazard of their lives, attempted. to reach the
nearest village, WolVereot,- which,. aided by an
outside passenger, they accompli!died, thou:.4ll

About four o'clock in the afternoon on Satttr-
tlay,Abe.Bth Jan..a small boat was observed by the
fishermen and inhabitants, of the shores in the
Start Bay between Dartmouth and the Start),"
drifting towards the land. As tLe boat approach-
ed the shore, two men were distinctly seen in it,
steering with an oar. As, however, the sea %%rig
very rough, it was impossible to render them any
assistance, until the boat approached the land, when
tremendous wave lifted -it near 20 feet high, and
dashed it to pieces on the share. One oPthe Wen,
.by twisting a rope which was atta.zbed to the boat
round his arm, was thrown so high upon the beach,

tiff'&,bili stated, that lie was. before the Ist of Ja-
nuary, 1811,', possessed of Elm Lodge, with the
land,"gardens,- and buildings thereon. In April
last, the SerViAnts of the defendants went to plain-
tiff's ground, and marked out a cut for the canal,
by sticking up posts,.&c. On the Ist of May the
plaintiff, wrote a letter to the defendants, coin-
plaining of the trespass, and infortning them they

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, J.IN. 26.

BUSK AND OTHERS V. DAVIS AND OTHERS.

Mr. PARK moved for a rule to. sheW -.catise.whY
the Verdict in this case should notbe-set
and a new- trial granted. .The action was tried in
London at. the last. Sitting, and, was. brought
against defendants, who,
.ate wharfingers (merely
nominal defendants) to recover the • value of a
qUantity of flax, sold by Messrs. Busk and Co. to
a person of ',the name of Brower. The verdict
was in favour of the plaintiffs. The question
.for consideration was; whether the delivery of the
flax was perfect or .not The facts of the case
were these. On the 23d. of September, 18.12, ten-
tons of Itiga flax were sold by plaintiffs to
David Broiner,nt 1181'. per ton. 'This flax was
. lying at the 4vharf of defendants, and:plaintiffs
•gave to Bronier a deli very. note, directing defend- ,
'nuts to deliver ,the flax withinfourteen. days ..'obi
the date of the. purchase-. Consequently the 'deli-*
.very tO•IIRVO taken place on the 7th of .Octo-
ber.. The delivery, however; was not made at the
tune, specified,, and in ten days after Wards liromex
stopped payment, two days suliseqiient -to which,
praintiffs-- gave notice to defendants not
'tile -flax.. On the 2d of, November, a .coniinission
Was i3sued against•Broiner, and be was declared,

bankrupt.-
For the plAintiffs it'was contended, that, as the
flax had not bee:: Aveigheff, and as. thc4e -was other
flax., the property of the plaintiffs, at
.the defen-
d:nits wharf, the delivery had tint taken place, and
the notice which they had given
.was suifiCient to
entitle them to retain possession. On the othey
hand, it tvis.argued on the part of the assignees
of lifomer, tvho were the realdefendatits, that as'',
the-fourteen days speCified. in the note of delivery.
had expired, and as the tpiantity of tiax was• spe-
cific; the delivery ninsi have been considered as
Navin- taken place.
Mr. PAEK now cited vtiii-nis cases support of
'this latter dbetrine, and the COurt:considering,it
question worthy consideration, gratrted.tite.
Bide to shetv cause.
