The SPEAKER is not to issue his warrant for
a new writ for the Liverpool Election, till the 30th April.
A Proclamation appears in the Gazette of last
night, relative to a new coinage. In addition to the usual
pieces, double sovereigns of the value of forty shillings are
ordered to be coined and issued. On the one side the
Knic's effigy, with the inscription " Gulielmus
D. G. Britanniarum Rex. F. D.," will appear, and on the
other the armorial ensigns of the United Kingdom, with
the words, " Decus et Tutamen."
Yet mean, cruel, and atrocious as every ci-
vilised mind must consider the doctrine, that Ireland has
no need of Poor Laws, or some equivalent for them—hate-
ful and abominable as is such a screen for inhumanity—
there are men, or things with human pretensions, nay
with lofty privileges, who do not blush to treat the mere
proposal of establishing P fund for the relief of the
diseased or helpless Irish .vith brutal ridicule and almost
impious scorn. Will any man credit that an Irish ab-
sentee lord could say what he is reported to have uttered
in the House of Peers last night, when Lord ROSEBERT
presented a petition, praying that a compulsory tax on
land might be introduced into Ireland, towards alleviating
her poor? We shall not name him, because the House
of Lords is armed with a thing called a " Bar," and other
disagreeable appendages. But there are Members of that
House who surprise nobody by declaring their indifference
to " popular odium,"—especially when they are at such
a distance from Ireland as to ensure the safety of their
persons. Times.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY).

C 0 UET OF CrIANCI:EI7.

TWORT r. JEFFREY.
Sir EDWARD SUGDEN moved for an order to dissolve an
injunction which had been granted ex-parte in February last.—
The injunction was to restrain the defendant from cutting down
ornamental and shelter timber. It was obtained on behalf of
Georg,. Larkin, an infant, and the remainderman of the estate
in question. The estate was described to consist of a mansion-
house, park, pleasure-ground, out-houses, offices, and RI) acres
of land. The parties who were restrained from felling the
timber were the assignees of the tenant for life, who had become
involved. The Learned Counsel stated that nothing could be so
futile as to represent this estate in the flourishing terms that had
been used. A cloud of surveyors had come fbrward on behalf of
the defendant, swearing that the mansion-house was, in
point of fact, only a firm-house two stories high, of a brick front,
brick back up to the first floor, and then weather boarded.
That no timber whatever that had beets cut down could be con-
sidered as ornamental, and that those trees which they were
about to cut were what they had a right to fell. Independently
of this, the injunction had been obtained irregularly, inasmuch
as the affidavit on which it was granted was dated the 24th of
January, and the bill was not dated till the 26th, therefore the
Court would have to dissolve it.

Mr. ROUPELL complained that the present motion had bean
taken unfairly against his suggestion. lie felt satisfied that he
should be able completely to contradict the statements made by
the defendants, and that therefore he ought to have time to
make his affidavits in reply, the defendants not having thought
proper to move upon their answer. '1 he question was not whether
any person might think the timber was on amental, a shelter or not,
but whether it had been planted and left for ornamental and
shelter timber, and he should be able to satisfy the Court that
it was. As to the allegation of irregularity ill obtaining the in-
junction, it bad been made improperly. and with a view to pre-
judice the plaintiff's case, because he (Mr. R.) had sent for the
certificates into Court, and they showed that the whole was
regular.
Sir EDWA RD SUGDEN opposed further delay, as the sea-
son for cutting down timber had nearly expired, and the pro-
perty in question was only forty miles from London. The park
and pleasure grounds, consisting in the whole of 300 acres, were
divided into no less than 94 fields.

The LORD CHANCELLOR'S opinion was that time ought
to be granted for answering the affidavits of the defendants
though that time should be as short as possible, and conse-
quently the Court ordered the affidavits to be filed by Thurs.
day next, and the case to come on again on Friday.
