NEWTON AND WIFE V. lIARLAND AND OTHERS.

I❑ this action, which was brought against the Sheriff's
officers for assault and battery, in enforcing an eject-
ment, there was much,.aggravation in the circum-
stances. The case has been three times tried, with ver-
dicts for the plaintiff (a bsrrister), viho now applied in
persnn, to have an alteration in the record of the ver-
dict (made since the original entry) rectified.
The applicatio❑ was refused.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Nov. 19.
LANE V. WEDLAK.

This was an action or trespass by a tenant against her
landlord, which was tried before Mr. Justice Williains at
the late Monmouth Assizes, when a verdict was found fur
the plaintiff.

Mr. Sergeant LUDLOW showed cause against a rule
nisi for a new trial, which had been obtained by Mr.
Richards. The plaintiff's husband was tenant of an inn, and
a piece of garden ground belonging to the defendants. He
wanted the ground for building purposes, and employed
masons, who broke down the wall, and the garden was
spoiled. The tenancy was alleged to be from year to
year ; but at the trial his Lordship said he did not think
there was any evidence of that fact to go to the Jury.
Mr. Richards refrained from calling evidence upon such
an intimation, but his Lordship afterwards left the question
to the Jury.—Rule made absolute.

DEATH OF MR. FITTON.

(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)
Died on November 15, after a short sickness, Wil-
liam Fitton, Surgeon, of Royton, near Oldham. Mr. i
Fitton took an active part n the great national move-
ment in favour of a Reform in Parliament, from about
the year 1812 to the carrying of that measure. He
attended and spoke at most of the meetings hell in
Manchester and its neighbourhood, and was considered
a good and powerful speaker. Mr. Cobbett, in his
Register repeatedly took notice of his speeches, espe-
cially of those addressed to " the Weaver-boys of
Lancashire," in which he points out very clearly the
superior powers of Mr. Fitton's mind, and the justness
of his reasoning, as compare.' with the common-place
stuff uttered in St. Stephen's. Mr. F.'s general good
sense, with his suavity of manners, and known at-
tachment to liberty, gave him considerable influence
(politically) in the borough of Oldham ; in fact he was
a leading man there, and his death is regarded as a
great loss to the Liberal cause. It will perhaps not be
saying too much to say that he was a devoted and ar-
dent friend of the liberty of man, and few private per-
sons ever devoted more time and talent to serve their
country.

SINGULARITY OF THE SEASON.—Mr. Smith,
gardener, of Stoncgate, York, has in his garden, near the
New Cattle Market, a raspberry bush, bearing fine ripe
fruit, which in colour, fragrance, and flavour, are equal
to the produce of summer. when this rich species of fruit
is in its full perfection.—York Courant.

DEFERRED ANNUITIES DEPARTMENT.

By the plan exclusively developed by the Society, a single
deferred annuity is made, nct only to answer the same object,
but to equal in amount the entire sum of all the advantages
heretofore only obtained by the middle and industrious classes
by separate investments in Savings' Banks, Benefit Societies,
and Loan Banks.

1. A small yearly or weekly contribution will secure the
most ample return for after life; thus-21. 12s. per annum (Is.
a week) at 20 will at 65 give the policy holder the choice of an
annuity for life of 471. 16s. 6d. : 3941. 11s. in cash; or policy
without further contributions of 4661. at death. _ .

2. Two-thirds at any time lent on deposit of policy, being a
fund always available during sickness or want of employment.
3. Two-thirds of all payments returned to representatives in
ease of premature death.
The report to the Annual General Meeting of Proprietors,
prospectuses, tables, &c., may be obtained at the office of the
Society, by letter or otherwise, 26, Cornhill, London, or at

COURT OF EXCISE.

IMPORTANT TO AUCTIONEERIL-Mr. Bromley, an
auctioneer, attended by his solicitor, Mr. Drummond, of
Croydon, appeared in support of his " complaint," for
a remission of the auction duty on property, the sale of
which bad gone off.
It appeared from Mr. Drummond's statement, that
the property in question, (a house in Wapping) was put
up for sale on the Ist of March last, and sold to a per.
son to whom the abstract of title was shortly afterwards
delivered. A question, however, arose between the
purchaser and vendor, as to whether the latter was in a
condition to give a proper deed of conveyance of the
property ; and, in the meantime, the house was burned
down. This, of course, did not enhance the purchaser's
opinion of the property, Mr. Drummond ob,:erved, and
it turned out chat the ;Tudor had no menns of compel•
ling him to complete his purchase. These were the
short facts of the case.

IMr. STEPHENSON ssid, perhaps Mr. Drummond wus
not ;Aware that he had yet stated a single fact. Theo
were merely circumstances with which they (the Com-
missioners), had nothing to do. Evidence must first
be given of certain property having been advertised to
be sold, and then the title must be produced.
Mr. Drummond said it was impossible to produce
the title at present, but he thought that the Act of
Parliament gave them an alternative for the inability
to convey.

Mr. Mayhew said the Act stated distinctly that if
the person had " no right or title to dispose of the
property" then the duty might be remitted.
Mr. STEI'IIENI“)ti said no evidence of this nature
had been given, and therefore the case must be dis-
missed.—Complaint dismissed accordingly.
Mr. Rutherford, a solicitor, attended on behalf of
Mr. Parker, an auctioneer, to obtain relief under cir-
cumstances somewhat similar.

Mr. STEPHENSON asked whether Mr. Parker was in
attendance himself ?

Mr. Rutherford said he was not ; but he had called at
his (Mr. Rutherford's) office three days ago, and
handed him over the necessary papers, and instructed
him to attend before the Commissioners to support his
application.
Mr. STEPHENSON said the Commissioners could not
entertain the case in the absence of the complainant,
and it was therefore dismisscd.

Since November, 1836 we have bad no storm so vio-
lent as that which visited this city and the environs
last night. Many houses in the city have suffered con-
siderably, and we learn that much damage has been
done in the country. Numbers of large trees have been
torn up by the roots.
We learn from Menin that the French Government
has given very rigorous orders respecting English and
German travellers who pass the frontiers. Their pass-
ports are strictly examined.
The great exports of forage to France have caused a
rise in the price of hay in the most remote parts of
Germany.

POLISH FRONTIER.

Nov. 7.—The last two resolutions of the Govern-
ment in the Kingdom of Poland have caused a great
sensation there. First, the numerous Jews make the
most vehement complaints that for every individual liable
to the conscription, who secretly withdraws, they are
-henceforth to furnish two recruits. The aversion of
these people to military service caused the number of
dyserters every year to be very great, and their families
being very poor, the authorities find no means to pre-
ar.:nt it. ',They. were, therefore, at length compelled to
Lave recourse to this measure, and the local authorities
are now jointly amenable for the deserters, which led
to a system of reciprocal watchfulness, that in conse-
quence of the peculiarities of the Jewish character, often
tzives occasion to the strangest scenes. Of much greater
importance is the ordinance that every Count, Baron,
&e. must
.produce the. documents proving his right to
those titles ; in delauft-of which he is no longer to as.
same them. Those who know how inclined
some of the Polish Nobles are to usurp the
title of Count, will readily believe that such an ordi-
nance must be very unwelcome to many persons, and
that it will considerably diminish the number of Polish
th how-
ever, became necessary. r

Letters from Riga say that the fleet was quiet in

Chambers. It is believed here that the Russians are
not quite pleased with the turn that the affairs of the
East have taken, which renders their intervention un-
necessary. However, the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh
has enough diplomatic tact to put a good face on what
cannot be helped.

the half of its premiums for the first five years, at a fixed rate ;
offers the alternative of increasing or decreasing rates ; or upon
a temporary scale ; and, by assuring sums to become payable
at a given age, secures a provision for advanced life. Its poli-

Medical Herbalist, Author of " Random Reflections on In-

" Mr, Tilke is one of those individuals who, born with a
wooden spoon in their mouths, have, by the alchemy of thrift and
industry, converted it into silver. He began the world as a jour.
neyman baker, but every intermission from the labour of the knead.
ing trough, was devoted to the pursuit of medical science. Any
man who makes such unceasing efforts as he has done to allevia'e
the sufferings of humanity, is entitled to honourable mention."--

" In this volume we have the autobiographical memoir of a man,
whose career in life has been a chequered one, but who, by sheer
dint of perseverance, and showing a gallant front to misfortune,
had the satisfaction of seeing all his efforts crowned with success.
The Memoir is an interesting one, as showing what may be accom-
plished by energy and good conduct; and it is written in a cheerful
and benevolent strain. As a Medical Herbalist, Mr. Tilke has
effected a variety of surprising cures in obstinate cases of gout,
rheumatism, and indigestion. His mode of treating some of these
diseases is fully described in the course of his Memoir, and he has
added reasons explanatory of his system, so that lie who runs may

very heavy loss—and very wisely have shut up his theatre ;
"the York circuit" may barely cover expenses; the Bath
Theatre
may be to let ; " the Cheltenham Theatre" re-
duced to ashes, must be a losing concern—that's certain ;
the Gloucester may be to let ; Brighton may be wide
awake and prefer starlight ; Mr. Bennett does, your cor-
respondent allows, make Coventry,
&c., pay ; and the
" Leicester" company may be removing to Manchester in
a few days—and why not ? Ternan may, and lam glad
of it, have formed a snug circuit for his company ; but so
far from old Beverley merely munching his " bread and
cheese" at Sunderland, Shields, Scarborough, Stockton,
&c., he has had a very prosperous season—keeps his car-
riage, and lives like a fighting cock. If Mr. Barnett has
had " great success at Oxford," being well supported by
" the gownsmen," times must he altered, as the theatre
was never opened except in the long vacation.— EN_

SERVICE OF NOTICES.

If the claimant or the overseer (to whom it is ad-
dressed) cannot be seen, it may be left at his dwelling-
house, but the individual who serves it must take
down the name of the person to whom it is delivered ;
and then indorse on the duplicate the day of the month
of service, and the name of the person to whom he de-
livered it, and sign it.

The notice addressed to the elector or claimant may
be served on his tenant, if named in the list of the pro-
perty claimed for ; but in that case it must be deli-
vered into the tenant's own hands, and not to any other
person, and an indorsement must be made on the back
of the copy, of the day of service, ani the tenant's
name to whom delivered. If more than one tenant is
named in the list, make out duplicate notices, and get
them signed by the objector, and serve them personally
on each tenant.

N.B.—Be careful NOT to send any notices by post,
as :rah service is not good.

We understand from good authority, that the
usual notice required by Parliament has been given and the
plans lodged for obtaining a Bill next Session, for permission to
Make an extensive dock, on the Cheshire side of the river, at
Wallasey Pool, where vessels will, as in the case of the Bar-
rington and Herculaneum Docks (should the Bills now in the
House of Lo ds pass, as they are expected to), be exempt from
dock dues; so that, ere long*, we may anticipate seeing both
shores of the Mersey lined with still ping. To such an extent
has the progress of building and location advat.ced on the
Cheshire side, that we cannot conceive a more appropriate
name to the district, commencing with Birkinhead, and termi-
nating with New Brighton, than " New Liverpool."—Lieer-

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.

HOME CIRCUIT—GUILDFORD, Aua. 4.
Both courts proceeded to business this morning
at ten o'clock, Lord Abinger presiding at nisi prius,
and Baron Gamey in the Crown Court.
There are upwards of a hundred causes set down for
trial, eleven of them being special jury cause!. The
business on the civil side yesterday was devoid of in-
terest, most of the causes that were disposed of being
undefended.

CROWN COURT.
There are twenty-two prisoners for trial, and of this
number only one can read and write. None of the
offences are of a serious description.
Baron GURNEY, in addressing the Grand Jury,
con-
gratulated them upon the lightness of the calendar,
and said, that as none of the cases on it were of a cha-
racter to require any observations from him respecting
them, he would take the opportunity of calling their at-
tention to one or two other topics of some import-
ance to the public. In the first place he would
remind them that there was an Act of Parliament
+which appeared to be very seldom acted upon, which
required that where roads crossed each other, that
sign posts should be put up to direct passengers.
This might be done by the inhabitants of the neighbour.
hood, or by the direction of the Magistrates, bu t as
the former, from being well acquainted with the locality,
were not likely to take any trouble in the matter, it
was highly essential that the Magistrates should inter-
. fere, because the public frequently suffered very great
,inconvenience from the want of these direction
(posts. When he congratulated the Grand Jury
upon the lightness of the calendar at the present
assizes, it should be borne in mind that the
Magistrates had very recently disposed of a great
number of cases at the Quarter Sessions, and therefore,
this circumstance could not be considered as showing a
diminution of crime. He intreated them, in their ca•
pacity of clergymen, as magistrates, or as country gen-
tlemen, to do all in their power to discourage that odious
crime of drunkenness, which lamentable experience
proved to be the fruitful source of every other crime,
.and to do their utmost to create a moral and religious
'feeling in the minds of the lower orders. He had no
'doubt that much might be done by influence and ex-
acsple, and although he would admit that much had
been done, yet he must say that a great deal still re-
mained to be done in the way of improving the morals
of the labouring classes. It was not enough
to meet at regular periods for the purpose
of puniihirs crime, but it was their duty like

AFFGHANISTAN.

The following is from a letter dated Bamean, April
29 :—" The last news from Cabul is that the 4th Light
Infantry of the SAah's force will certainly not return
thence till after July twelvemonth ; so I apprehend from
this that a forward move is still contemplated, sod
from the expresses that are flying about between 14-
gban (where Lord is), Herat, and Cabul, I imagine
something is brewing. Zubbar Khan is not yet come
in, and the question is, will he come 1 I think he

BENGAL.

We have heard that there .s an intention of rendering
the Madagascar a go-between from the China seas to Cal-
cutta, with the view of affording the speediest intelligence
to Government of the proceedings in those quarters, and of
conveying despatches.—Courier, May 20.
The fourth opium sale of the season took place at Cal-
cutta on the 25th ult., and consisted of 1,400 chests Patna
(less 100 chests reserved for the French Government) and
700 chests Benares. The following is the result:—
Chests Highest Lowest Average Proceeds
Patna 1.300 660 635 643 15 4 837,150
Benares 7OO 635 625 627 10 10 439,375
The sale opened at 650, at which rate 33 lots found
buyers, the remaining portion of the first division of the
Patna having brought from 640 to 645. The second di-
vision commenced at 655, but rose to 660, whence it again
declined to 635, and a large lot having been taken off at
this rate, the biddings again advanced to and closed at 640.
The Benares, in proportion, brought even fuller rates, the
price having opened at 630, whence it declined to 625, and
a heavy purchase having been made by the bazaar-dealers
at that price, a further advance of five rupees immediately
took place, the few final lets bringing 635 per chests.
Owing to the limited quantity brought forward, the sale
went off with more animation than it otherwise would have
done. The natives were the largest purchasers. The
fifth and final sale takes place on the 29th proximo, end

ALLEGED DEATH FROM MORI-

SON'S PILLS.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Ste—l am sure that your sense of justice will at once
lead you to contradict the above report, inasmuch as
Morison's Pills IS ere not used by the deceased Mr. Mallars.
It appears from the evidence on the inquest, that the
so-called Morison's Pills taken by Mr. Mallars were pur-
chased of a person of the name of Salmon, in Farringdon-
street, who, without any authority whatever, attaches my
name on the boxes, and also upon the stamps, in blue
letters, to medicines of his own manufacture, of which I
know nothing, in order to pass them off on the public as
Morison's Pills ; against which deception I have repeatedly
cautioned the public. As Morison's Pills were not used
on the above occasion, it is quite unnecessary for me to en-
ter further into the case.
I trust you will see the necessity of giving this letter
immediate insertion.
I am, Sir, yours obediently,
JAMES. MORISON, the Hygeist.
