LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 5, 1838

TO THE MEMBERS OF THE JUNIOR UNITED SER-
VICE CLUB, LONDON.
Ms, Loans AND GINTLEMEN,
rill HE Royal Navy have an AMICABLE
SCHOOL for the orprians and children of their officers, and
it is well supported and managed by officers of high rank in that
branch of our service.
The week after Easter, I propose to call a Meeting of our Club,
to take into consideration the justice of forming " A MILITARY
AMICABLE SCHOOL." Aristocratical influence has opposed
such a noble and patriotic Institution. But union is power, and
the love we all bear to our service will give us the victory, and
prevent posterity calling shame upon us for our present negligence
and timidity. After Easter, our fox-hunting friends will be in
town, to give us their kind assistance ; bold riders have a good eye
for the country ; good sportsmen, generally speaking, are good
officers. But to the point. I call on W. T. W., of Southwold,
and all our other friends, to 1)6 up and stirring, and to take the
field, in behalf of such a patriotic Institution. Mark ! His Royal
Highness, the late Duke of Kent, was the Patron of Regimental
Schools for Soldiers' Children. A petition from the Officers of the Bri-
tish Army, praying her Majesty, our Most Gracious Queen Victoria,
to become the Patron of the School, I feel confident will obtain the
kind and gracious reply of "La Reine le vent ;" and those magic
words will be responded to by every loyal heart in the kingdom.
Call to mind that Kin. Charles the Second established " Chelsea,"
because that Merry Monarch lived with his people, and bad ample
proof that our Army is as firm and loyal to the Crown as it is brave
in the battle-field.
With every good wish for the welfare and prosperity of our Sol-
diers at home and abroad,
I remain, my Lords and Gentlemen,
Your faithful Friend,
GEO. GUNNING,
Lt. H. P. let Dragoon Guards.

ELMORE C. wttnasti.
Mr. PLATT said this was an action to recover the value of a horse
which the defendant had sold to the plaintiff, as the latter said, war-
ranting him to be sound. The plaintiff had seen the horse at Oundle
fair, and his man got on to try it, when it picked up a nail ; he imme-
diately dismounted, and the nail was taken out of the foot. The horse
was then taken home, and his foot dressed. Two days afterwards the
servant of the plaintiff called upon the defendant's agent, and asked
him if the horse was lame, or if lie could say he was sound ; the defen-
dant's agent said he was quite sound notwithstanding the accident. The
plaintiff's man then agreed to purchase the horse for 601. He was
taken in the string of horses to Biggleswade, where he fell lame, and
was left at Barnet, when he died from the effects* of the nail. Under
these circumstances the plaintiff' bronght his action to recover the 601.

The Jury found a verdict for the defendant.
