POOR-L.AW.

Captain PECHELL moved for a return from each
Poor-law union and parish in England and Wales, of
the number of non-resident families and persons who
were in receipt of relief on the 26th day of
August, 1846; distinguishing those who have since
become chargeable to the unions and parishes
in which they were residing at that period.
He wished the return referred to the extraordinary ope-
ration of a Bill passed last Session, entitled the Poor-
law Removal Bill, the working of which had proved
most injurious to the poorer classes. It had
created the greatest consternation in the coun-
try, and had benefited none save the legal
authorities connected with the various unions, who in
fact were living upon plunder derived from the poor.
The non-resident had been harshly treated, and had in
many cases had relief altogether suspended so far as
they were concerned.
LIBRARY COMMITTEE.
On the motion of Sir R. 11. INGLIS, the following
committee was appointed to assist Mr. Speaker in the
direction of the Library, and all matters relating
to it: —Sir R. H. Inglis, Mr. Chancellor of the Exche
quer, Lord John Russell, Sir Robert Peel, Mr. Goulburn,
Mr. W. Wynn, the Lord Advocate. Mr. Shaw, Viscount
Palmerston, Viscount Mahon, Mujor-General Fox, Mr.
Soacitor-General, Mr. Pendarves, Mr. Aclantl, Sir W.
S,,merville, and Mr. Monckton Milnes. Leave of
absence to Mr. Colquhoun, for two months, ill health.

There were several persons now thrown upon the
humane guardians of certain unions for whom they had
no right to provide, and the Gilbert Union, at the pre-
sent moment, paying both ways. By the operation of this
Act, no less than 1,110 families, consisting 0f1,621 persons,
had been thrown upon the Gilbert Union at an expense
of 2857.. per week. In the town of Brighton, with which
he was connected, no less than 1,452 persons had been
thrown upon the rates, and the guardians of that
union, rather than refuse these poor people as-
sistance in their necessity, or of litigating the
case, and voluntarily undertaking their support of the
expectation that the House of Commons would pass
some measure, during the present session, for their
relief from this oppression. He could not help think-
ing this was a matter which might have been introduced
into her Majesty's Speech, for certainly it was

AGRICULTURAL STATISTICS.

Mr. STAFFORD O'BRIEN wished to ask whether
the Government had fulfilled the promise made through
the Right Hon. Gentleman the Vice-President of the
Treasury (Mr. M.Gibson), and directed their attention to
the subject of agricultural statistics during the recess, and
which they proposed bringing forward any measure
on the subject ?
Mr. M. GIBSON replied that the subject bad re
calved the attention of the Government during the
recess, and that a measure was now in progress which,
when some of its details had been decided on, would be
laid before the Eleusa=he hoped on an early day.

COMMON PLEAS-(THIS DAY.)

The Court was engaged to-day with the demurrer paper,
in which there was no case brought under the consideration
of their Lordships of any interest, except to the parties
concerned.

SECONDARIES'--(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Secondary JAMES.)
PALMER V. JAMES.

This was an action brought to recover the sum of 31. 10s.
for a quarter's rent.
The defendant lives in Canal-place, Camberwell, and held
the house under an agreement, and pleaded that he was not
indebted. The agreement was proved, and when Mr. MOHAN
who appeared as counsel for the defendant, examined it, he
said he could not sustain the defence. The agreement was
not stamped, and it appeared that the defendant relied on
the terms as requiring no stamp.

RUSSELL AND WiICOIT V. MOODY.
The plaintiffs in this action are the successors to the well-
known Mr. Warren, the blacking merchant, in the Strand;
the defendant is a grocer at Castle Carey, Somersetshire.
The action was brought to recover the value of twenty
half-boxes of blacking, alleged to have been supplied by the
defendant's order.
Mr. THOMAS called the plaintiff's traveller, who spoke to
obtaining the order in the usual course, and the transmission
of the goods per order.
Mr. PARRY appeared for the defendant, and cross-examined
the witness, with an endeavour to show that only six boxes
had been ordered, and that the goods had been returned, but
he did not elicit any answers to bear out the defence, and
submitted to a verdict.

• WEST V. KEASLEY.

This was an action to recover the value of coals supplied
to defendant, who pleaded in abatement that he was not
solely liable, but that at the time of the goods being deli-
vered other persons were in partnership with him. The case
was not completed, depending on the question as to when
the partnership terminated, and was not of public im-
portance.

""We have information from Lower Albady to-day, con-
firmatory of previous accounts, that a considerable num-
ber of hafirs have entered that part of the district. A
patrol Sr. m Fa.merfield,: on Thursday, discovered that
about 100 had hivuuacksd the previous night on the
farm, Sprig Grove (the junction of the Kareiga with
the Bushman's River), from which place they had gone
off in three parties, There call be little doubt but that
it was some of these marauders who carried of
M'Luckie's cattle, and subseuttently attacked the oxen
of the forage waggons on their way from Dell's Farm.
. . . . We have a vague report also, that a patrol
under the Field Cornet Buchner, of Oliphant's Hock,
have also fallen in with these Kafirs, and that two of
them were shot in a skirmish which ensued between the
parties.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
SHERIFFS' COURT, March 11.
(Before Mr. Under-Sheriff BITICRELL.)
CAOUCIIIIIK V. THOMAS.

ILLxGAL DIsTELESS.—This was an action to recover
damages for an illegal seizure and detention of the plaintiff's
goods. The damages were laid at 500/.
Mr. THOMAS, counsel for the plaintiff, stated the case. The
plaintiff is a gentleman residing in St. James's-street, Buck-
ingham-gate, and the defendant is an auctioneer, residing in
Leicester-square. The Learned Counsel said the defendant
was merely the agent of another party against whom he had
his remedy. The plaintiff had obtained his goods back, and
now sought for damages for the injury done to them by the
removal, and also for the inconvenience caused by the plain-
tiff and his family having been obliged to go into furnished
lodgings until they recovered back the goods.
Mr. J. 11. Croucher, brother of the plaintiff, proved that
on the 3d of December a demand was made by defendant cf
225/. for rent alleged to be due to a Mr. Michael Sumption.
Defendant was told that the claim was unjust, as no such
person was known to plaintiff, but defendant said all he could
do was to leave a man in possession, and did so. The goods
were afterwards removed. Plaintiff and his family had
to leave.
Mr. Roasos, defendant's attorney, took an objection to
any evidence being given of any special damage.
The UNIER•SREItIFF hell that the declaration was only
for the detention of the goods.
Mr. THOMAS asked what title Mr. Sumptien set up, but
the witness could not say.
In cross-examination the witness said plaintiff had lived
in the house for seven or eight years. Did not know to whom
rent was paid. A person had previously been in possession
under a bill of sale, put in by Mr. Toplis, an auctioneer.
Mr. THomAs said the defendant by not pleading had ad-
mitted the detention of the goods.
Mr. ItonsoN, for the defendant, said that he did not mean
for a moment to contend that the defendant was not liable,
but the plaintiff had not shown that he ever paid rent to any
one, and it was not at all unlikely that a person might have
an equitable right, although not a legal one, to enforce the
rent. There was no proof of removal, or of any damage
done to the property, and it only came to the imaginary de-
tention of the goods by a man sitting in the kitchen ; there-
fore, he thought the very smallest damages would suffice.
The UNDER-SHERIFF said that the jury must only give
damages for the detention.
The jury gave a verdict for 11. 19s. This, however, caul( a
costs.

THE LIGHTS for FUTURE DAYS.
All can now be pleased, whatever is desired in Light. The
PEARL CANDLE LAMP la the perfection of Candle Lights, and
must succeed ; its simplicity myriads will admire. To sell the ordi-
nary Candle Lamps is now impossible—the public have long enough
been pestered with such rubbish.
The DIAMOND CARCEL OIL LAMP is the best oil light in the
world. The Carcel Lamp is used in all the Palaces in Europe; this
is sufficient guarantee for all—it never will be out-done.
The STARLIGHT NIGHT LIGHT is a beautiful little light to
illumine the bedchamber. All other night lights will be used no
more ; its economy and simplicity all will admire, for what can be
desired more than perfection? To what conclusion can we come?
Certain, henceforward the only lights will be—the Sun, the mighty
gem of Heaven by day ; the Pearl and Diamond Lights at evening
and the Star at night, to illumine the British territory.
These splendid Lights burning continually at CLARK'S, the

pARISS' PULMONIC CIGARETTES.-Phy-
sicians have long discovered that in diseases of the lungs and
air passages, a remedy to be really efficacious must come in direct
contact with the diseased organ, and this cannot take place unless it
be administered under the form of vapour or smoke. The diseases
in which the Cigarettes have been found so beneficial are, difficulty
of breathing, tightness of the chest, spasmodic asthma, catarrhs,
hoarseness, sore throats, aphony (loss of voice), car-aches, rheuma-
tism of the jaws, tooth-ache, neuralgia, &c. In the first stage of
consumption their beneficial effects are surprising, and in the ad-
vAnced stages they relieve the cough, lessen the expectoration, check
the night perspiration, and produce calm and refreshing sleep.

SCOTT V. lIITCHENS.

The plaintiff in this case is a surgeon, and the defendant a
member of the llall of Commerce. The action was brought
to recover the sum of 41. 15s. fur medicine supplied.
There was no evidence of the nature or value of the medi-
cines.

The defendant's Solicitor submitted, that the plaintiff
must be nonsuited, as he had not proved that he had a cer •
tificate of the Apothecaries company.
Mr. THOMAS said he would not be nonsuited.

The UNDER-SHERIFF said, he thought it better to go to
the jury; but told them, that, in his opinion, they could only
give a verdict for nominal damages; but it was fur them to
determine.

Mr. THOMAS said, it was prored that twenty boxes and
bottles had baen delivered. _

The UNDER-SIIERIFF.—But there is not a word of evi-
dence as to value.

The jury gave a verdict for I/. 15s.
The ATTORNEY applied for the writ to be de`ained until
next term.
The UNDER-SHERIFF said he would retain the writ as Mr.
Thomas had refused to be nonsitited ; but if the defendant
knew when he was well off, he would take the verdict as it
stood.

MAYOR r. EI.LIS.

The plaintiff in this case is the landlady of the Queen's
Head Inn, Pinner, and the defendant isa gentleman residing
at the same place. The action was brought to recover the
sum of 111. 155., for beer, gin, &C, supplied to the defendant's
servants. _ . _ .

vv
It appeared by the evidence that in July last a fire broke
out in the rick-yard of the defendant, at a time when the
defendant was absent. The fire continued three days and
three nights, during which time 144 gallons of beer with
spirits, and also rump steaks and cigars, were ordered, which
were now charged for.
For the defendant it was submitted that the plaintiff must
be nonsuited, as any general order by servants could not be
taken as by the implied authority of the master.
The lINDEn-SHERIFF said that he considered it ought to be
implied in such a case where a master was absent, and his
property would be destroyed if efficient assistance was not
rendered, and in this case refreshment was necessary, the
only question was whether the goods had been ordered-or not
by the defendant's servants. _ _

- Gaffney, the defendant's servant, was called, and
swore ha did not give general orders to plaintiff, but sent for
refreshment from other houses. There was a gang of
" vagabonds' there who ordered beer, and sat in the hedges
and drank it, but did not work. his wife was the house-
keeper, and might have ordered some.
The UNDER-SIIEILIFP said there were some small charges
for cigars, rump-steaks, &c., which perhEps the jury might
think might well be given for assis'ance to persons who were
not paid in any other manner.
The jury gave a verdict for Ili.
