THE MINOR CkNOIIS OF ST, D. METTLE

u-rucits.
'On Saturday.the 1.40 an CuAxcELLon pronounc-
ed final judgment in this great and twig depending
cause. Lordship's judgmentwaS very rhino-,
rate and circumstantial itt detail.
It was a Bill filed on behalf of the War lett and
Minor Canons of St. Paul, against the inhabitants
of the two parish 6 of St.' Mary Magd3den-and St.
-Gregory, in the city of London, for the recovery
of tithes, at the rate of 2s, Pd.-in the pound, us
paid for a series of years, locally and partially, but
not immemorially. , so as to have acquired univer;-
sal or undisputed establishment, owing to the
fluctuation of the occupants .of the houses and
premises in westion, as also to the circumstance
of the plaint IfF3 'being-the successors of the origi-
nal grantees of those tithes, Intended principally
for charitable purposes, by virtue of a grant from
king Edward the Sixth, which 'ousted the idea of
a usage hnniemo.ial, or time out of mind, and
commenced with the return of Richard 1. from the
Holy War.

• The defendants are the SnceesSors of the origi-
nal lessees of the ptedycessors of the plaintiffs and
in this cause pleaded by their answers, an usage
or composition in lien of tne rate demanded by
the plaintiffs, of less amount, referring for proof
of such usage or composition to h certain ancient
rate-bdok in theexclusive possession and custody
of the plaintiffs.
There were Acts of Parliament passed in the
respective reigns of Queen Elizabeth, and King
Charles the Second„ regulating these tithes, and
all those in the city of Loudon ; and in con,e-
quence of the first suit instituted Upon the sub-
ject, a reference by mutual' consent of the litigat-
ing parties, were submitted to, and an award, or
rather an adjustment was made- by. the referee-,
the then Attoruty-General, Mr. Charles Yorke,,
afterwards Lord Hardwicke, but the award teas
not made .effective.
This was the third Bill against divers parishes
in' his Lbrdship's time, and in the two pi ‘ceding,
issues at law • were directed Lind founded'against*
-the defendants,-on both which occasions he re-
fused to grant new trials ; in one instance in the
1-10nse of Lords, and in another in this Court.
'rite long consideratiOn of the present case had
fortified his opinion 91 the justice of his two de.:
_cisiolis -on the same subject,. -agaimt different
.pa;lslies, although it must be fully- admitted .that
this case was abstruse and complex on both sides.
freSh light was thrOwn oit: the case, by the
production of the Ancient Book. of Riites referred
to in tiie•answers of the,defeadants, as that bu
did not in.a single instafice support the.avernients
in the answers; and which averments were matte
on hearsity or information only, without adding
hat theY believed such information to be trite.
ills Loedship., tinder •these- considerations, was
of opinion', that no evidence appeared before ,him
to justify his granting the issues' tit law prayed
for by the defendants, and made a decree for the
plaintiffs.

A Professional Gentleman having been long in

ferent kinds in use, inopler to (10161;16;e the'pre-

,teeth
of the §ea-horse are very corruptible, mid apt 'to
taint the breath ; litninan teat' set:in a frame 'are
little better- and liable to loosen in a short time.. The Mineral- Plit,te Teeth are. free from these de-
fects, but their opacity and deathic,ls render them
no deception ; they' ave.:discernible. in every
weaver, and, besidez,, have a strong tendency to
lose their polish and beconie black. He eon=

.An act .of intrepidity and humanity.•was per-
formed at Porismouth, On Alo-slay last, which
,we have particular gratification in aoticing. Three
Officers of 'the Inverness Militia were in'a plea-
sure boat, and when sailing between the prison_
ships, a sudden strong current of,' wind upset the
boat, wh:ch, having heavy ballast, incinediatcly
sunk., TwO of the Officers could swim, lind they
kept themselves upon the surface until blnits took,
them up; but the other. was in the most imminent'
(tango of drow.4ing. A French prisoner on board'
the Crown, named Morang, the motnent he saw
the Otfieer squiggling, jumped off the gangway,
Where he'was standing, into the w;:ter, and, by
putting bis feet under the Officerts body al he was':
sinking,.rose hiin to the surface, and then -held

taken up.
On 'Thursday se'nnight, during a gale of whirl
from the Eastward, the Derweni saved the in'elV

France,. which she landed at Guernsey, to be_con-
