COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.)

FORRESTER V. PADDOCK.
This was an action brought to recover compensation
for injury done to the land and premises of the plaintiff
by the working of coal mines under them by the plaintiff,
as agent to the Duchy of Lancaster. The mines in ques-
tion and the land of the plaintiff are within the manor of
Newcastle-under-Lyne, of which the Crown, as Duke of
Lancaster, is Lord. The plaintiff claimed compensation
as by usage. The defendant denied the usage, and upon
this issue a verdict was found for the plaintiff.
_ _

Sir Thomas Wylde obtained a rule nisi to enter a ver-
dict for the defendant, against which Mr. Sergeant Tal-
fourd, M. Sergeant Channel', and Mr. Sergeant Wrang-
ham this day showed cause at great length.
Sir T. WYLDE replied, and had not concluded when
the Court rose at two o'clock, their Lordships presence
being required with the other Judges in the Exchequer,
to hear a Crown case.

COURT OF REVIEW.-(THIS DAY.)
No case of interest occurred to-day.

BOP-STREET.—(THIS DAY.)
William Harris, an elderly and respectable-looking
man, was placed at the bar before Mr. Twyford, charged
with having been drunk last night, and with having as-
saulted a policeman.
Police constable 96 F stated, that while on duty last
night, at about half-past nine, in Lincoln's Inn-fields,
the prisoner came up to him and said that he was drunk,
and asked witness to take him home. Witness refused
to comply with the request; upon which the prisoner
struck him twice with his cane, saying that he paid for
the police, and that they should take care of him. The
prisoner was drunk at the time.
The prisoner, who seemed to be a very singular cha-
racter, said that that was the most unprecedented case
that had ever occurred. Whilepassing, yesterday even-
ing, through Lincoln's Inn-fields, he saw the last witness
abusing a poor female, and he remonstrated with him
upon the impropriety of his conduct. The policeman
then took him into custody. He had never asked the
policeman the way home, and he was perfectly sober at
the time.
John Bremer, who was called as a witness by the pri-
soner, stated he had parted from him in the Strand at a
few minutes before nine o'clock, and he was then per-
fectly sober.
The police inspector on duty at the station-house last
night, another policeman, and the gaoler, stated that the
prisoner, when brought to the station-house, at about a
quarter to ten o'clock, was noisily drunk, and policeman
96 F stated that no woman, nor any person whatever,
was present when the arrest took place.
The prisoner was sentenced to a fine of 10s. The fine
was paid, and he was then discharged.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
(THIS DAY.)
Eleanor Susan Ley, was placed at the bar before Mr.
Maltby-, charged with begging. ,
Samuel Daniels, one of the officers belonging to the
Mendicity Society, stated that between six and seven
o'clock last evening, as he was proceeding along Panton-
street, Haymarket, the prisoner accosted him, and soli-
cited charity, stating that she should feel most grateful
even for a halfpenny. Her appearance induced witness
to take her into custody, in order that her case might be
inquired into. On her way to the station-house, she
begged that witness would not be hard upon her for
merely asking for a half-penny. On searching her, a
sovereign, and eleven shillings and eight pence in silver
and copper were found in her pockets. On referring to
the Society's books, the following account of her
was obtained :—She is the widow of Dr. Ley, for
many years physician to Middlesex Hospital, and who
died about five years ago. During his lifetime the pri-
soner gave herself up to habits of drunkenness and dissi-
pation, and shortly previous to his decease made away
with plate and other property to the value of upwards of
500/. These means she soon dissipated, and, becoming
very much reduced, made application to the Society by
ticket, soliciting their assistance to establish her to set
up a school. She received relief for some time from the
Society, and also from several medical gentlemen ; and,
independent of these, had 361. a year from the Me-
dical Fund.

The prisoner was ultimately discharged, and left the
office with several of her friends, who are respectab:e.

LORD RIVERS.—We are sorry to learn that an
accident has occurred to Lord Rivers, at Brighton, during
the last week, by which his Lordship has dreadfully frac-
tured one of his arms in three places, viz., his shoulder-
bone, the arm just above the elbow, and just below it.
His Lordship being anxious that Lady Rivers (who is near
her accouchement) should not be frightened, nothwith-
standing the extreme agony he was suffering, went him-
self into the drawing-room, and by degrees informed her
Ladyship of his accident, before he allowed the limb to
be set. We hear his Lordship is going on favourably;
but it is feared that he will never have the perfect use of
' his arm restored. We are not informed of the cause of
the accident.--. Essex Standard.

A PLEASANT PROSPECT FOR JOBBERS.—
The Times, yesterday, suggested that a duty should be
levied on the owners and occupiers of houses for the
improvement of the metropolis. It only wishes for an
additional 87,0001. a-year to the present parochial and
county rates. Such a sum for improvements must make
the mouths water of a host of architects, engineers, and
schemers. The people would not feel such a trifling
addition, and there would be no repugnance to misap-
propriate it. We shall cheerfully support such a levy,
when the rate-payers shall be able to control the ex-
penditure ; but every shilling raised under the present
irresponsible county, city, and parochial authorities, is
only an encouragement to fraud and jobbing.
FIRST VISIT OF THE LORD MAYOR TO
TIIE METROPOLITAN CHURCH, MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
—Yesterday being the first Sunday after the election of
Mr. O'Connell to the office of Lord Mayor of Dublin,
his Lordship attended at the Metropolitan Church at 11
o'clock, where a pontifical high mass was solemnised on
the occasion by his Grace the Most Rev. Dr. Murray,
Archbishop of Dublin. The Lord Mayor came in his
state carriage, which was used for the first time, and
was drawn by two greys. The servants wore green and
gold, of Irish manufacture, supplied by the Messrs. Dil-
lon, of Parliament-street. As his Lordship passed
through the streets he was followed by an im-
mense and accumulating multitude of persons, who
cheered him, as we venture to say no Lord Mayor of Dub-
lin was ever cheered before. The crowd in Marlbo-
rough-street and its vicinity was so great, it was with
difficulty a large body of foot police, aided by some of
the force on horseback, could preserve a passage. The
interior of the splendid edifice was densely crowded from
a very early hour in the morning. His Lordship arrived
at eleven o'clock, and, on ascending the steps of the
church, he divested himself of his robes of office and
cocked hat, both of which were taken by his servant
into the chapel house, where they remained until
his Lordship's. return -from the service. He was
received at the _ door of the church by the Ve-
nerable and Reverend J. Hamilton, the Rev. Messrs.
Doyle and Miley, and conducted to the seat prepared
for him in front of the altar. A portion of the sanctuary
(at either side of the Lord Mayor), was appropriated
specially to the aldermen and town councillors; of whom
the following were present:—Aldermen Sir John Power,
Bart., Patrick Gardiner, Peter Purcell, Egan, Luke
Butler • and Town Councillors Michael Staunton, Kir-
wan, drace, M'Kenna, Fitzpatrick, M'Loghlin, Byrne,
Bury, Andrews, Pearson, and several others whose
names we could not ascertain. When his Lordship had
taken his place, his Grace the Archbishop, assisted by
the Rev. Messrs. O'Malley, Hamilton, Laphen, and Bell,
&c., proceeded to sing high mass, and as soon as the
Gespel was read, the Rev. Dr. Miley ascended the pul-
pit. —Dublin Register.
The officers of the Exchequer, in the short
space of ten days and one-half, have accomplished the
receipt, verification, stamping, and return to their owners,
of twenty-five thousand 1 Exchequer bills, representing
a value of more than fifteen millions sterling, without a
single mistake, or the detaining of an individual one un-
necessary minute.
