LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF EXCHEQUER, May 13.

Barons Parke, Alderson, Gurney, and Rolfe sat, in
3anco in the Exchequer Chamber, and disposed of se-
eral cases standing in the special paper.

DIUNTZ V. STURGE.

Mr. Baron PARKE delivered the judgment of the Court
this case, which was argued during last term as a spe-
cial case. Our readers will recollect that the plaintiff
was the Mayor of Birmingham at the late election for
that town, at which the defendant was proposed as
a candidate. Two days before the day of nomination
he gavo the plaintiff notice that ho would not
go to the poll unless the show of hands were in his fa-
vour. The plaintiff erected a hustings, and made pre-
parations for a contest, but the show of hands being
against the defendant he declined a poll, and, not thinking
himself liable, he refused to pay one-third of the ex-
penses charged against him by the returning-officer.
The judgment of the Court was in favour of the
defendant.

The Paella of Yzzia has defeated, at the head
of 1,200 Albanians, the insurgents of Bulgaria. The
road is open from Constantinople to Belgrade.
CORN-LAWS, &c—The petition against the
Corn-laws, got up in Pradfurd within the last fortnight, has
been sent for pre3entatiol--17,569 signaturos were attached to
it. No exertions were spared in getting signatures, and great
numbers of men were stationed in various parts of the town
for the purpose. On Tuesday, a iietiiion, praying Parliament
to repeal the duties on sugar, tea, and corn, was signed by an
immense number of persons (they had not beers counted when
our news letter left), and will have been presented by this time.

USEFUL HINT.—A graduate, who had taken
high honours at the University, was selected, on account
of his known attainments and learning, as Incumbent of
a new church in a populous parish. Inexperience, how-
ever, in a most important duty led, much to the surprise
of his parishioners, to a failure, which was promptly
rectifies by an old matter-of-fact churchwarden leaving
in the vestry-room the following note :—" Rev. Sir, if
Yoll would prefiA 50 per cent. slower, and 110 per cent
louder, you would preach with 1,000 per cent. greeter
6ffect"—Cheltenham Examiner.
