An inquest was last evening held in; Bruton-tnews,
Berkeley-square, upon the body of Edward Farrow, aged 40,
late a servant in the establishment of Count Pours di Borgo,
the Russian Ambassador. It appeared from a lengthened in-
quiry that the deceased, who was an assistant coachman, had,
since April, been labouring under a particular complaint, and
had been attended by a quack doctor (and cobler) named
Lincoln. On Monday evening deceased was visited by his
medical attendant, who put a blister on his chest, but it never
rose. Or, that evening he took pills, powders, and portions

The number of passengers that the Captain of a
vessel may receive on board varies according to the ship's bur-
pnnutttshiden dFepnartrt
St.
bur-
den. A few days ago the Prefect of Marseilles having
learned that a vessel of 93 tons burden was on the point of
sailing to America with a much greater number of passengers
than was allowed by the regulations, ordered a Commissary of
Police to go on board to establish the breach of law, and to
gers on board, being 109 more than the number proportioned
to the tonnage. The Captain having purposely kept out of
the way, the Commissary quitted the vessel at nightfall, leav-
ing,. two Police agents on board. No sooner was he out of
e joefan the

with 156 passen-

sight than the eaptain came on board in a boat, and, finding
himself in rather an awkward position, took the desperate re-
solution of sailing with a fair wind, and adding the two police
agents to his 156 passengers bound for America. The next
morning, as soon as the sailing of the vessel was discovered,
a cruiser was despatched in search of her, but, as she is a fast
sailer, and had a start of 12 or 15 hours, the police agents
may reckon with the utmost confidence on the prospect of see-
ing foreign parts.

This was an inquiry to assess the damages sustained by the
plaintiff in consequence of his premises being required for the
terminus of the Croydon Railway Company.
Mr. THESIGER, for the plaintiff, remarked that formerly
juries were in the habit of giving very large sums as compen-
sation in cases of this sort, until a re-action took place in con-
sequence of exaggerated demands being set up by claimants,
when they perhaps took the opposite extreme. His client
was a milkman and carman, living in Canterbury-square,
Southwark, who had acquired a large and improving trade,
which would be entirely destroyed by his being com-
pelled to remove from his present premises. The Learned
Counsel then detailed at considerable length profits of the
two trades, which from the accounts showed an annual net
profit of 829/. per annum. The claim he had made for the
plaintiff was 1,9511., which he was sure the jury would not
consider too much.

A considerable number of witnesses were called to speak to
the advantageous situation of the premises for business, the
state of repair, and the difficulty of procuring other premises,
as well as the profits of the business. Amongst the witnesses
was Elizabeth Weeks, the vnilkwoman in the claimant's ser-
vice. She said my master keeps 16 cows. Almost all the
milk is sold on the premises. It is fetched by the customers.
I don't know anything about bow much water is put in. We
sell milk at threepence a quart, and some at fourpence.
The RECORDER-Aye, I suppose that is strong milk.—(A
laugh.)
__

Witness—We sell all the milk we have. There is never
any left ; and sometimes we have to buy some.
Mr. HILL—Aye, that's when the pump is out of order.—
(Great laughter.)

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS-(FRIDAY).

The Court sat but for a short time this morning, there
being only two magistrates present beyond the Chairman.
The object for which the session appeared to be held was to
receive the lists of rateable property connected with the pa-
rishes of Clerkenwell, St. George, St. Andrew above
Bars, &c.

Last Wednesday the Court fined the overseers 101. each for
not forwarding the proper returns ; but the Bench appointed
this morning for the purpose of receiving them.
The overseers of Clerkenwell satisfactorily explained the
cause of delay, and the Chairman remitted the fine.
After the accounts had been examined by Mr. Allen, the
county treasurer, that gentleman reported an increase upon
the present year over the last, as was shown by the following
statements :-1837, 1471. ; 1838, 1631.
The united St. George's and St. Andrew's accounts showed,
on the contrary, a great decrease :-1837, 108/. ; 1838, 931.
The overseers having been sworn to the truth of their re-
spective returns the session terminated.
