EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.),

REYNELL V. LEWIS.
The arguments in this case were resumed to-day by
the Attorney-General, who, at considerable length,
argued that as the contract was originally made with the
solicitors to the company, Smith, Parkes, and Co., and
that as no orders were received subsequently from the
defendant, nor was there any evidence given that the
liability was transferred at any time from the original
parties who gave the order to the defendant in the pre-
sent action, or any other person who was connected
with the company—under such circumstances he con-
tended that the verdict should be set 'vide.
Mr. COWLING then followed on the same side.
The LORD CHIEF BARON—WC think it advisable to
take the whole of the cases involving the question of the
liability of provisional committeemen, in order to come
to some decision upon the subject, and lay down a
general principle for guidance in all future cases.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL—I am informed, my. Lord,
that there are some thousands of writs now floating
about, and it, is desirable that the Court should give
some decision during the present term.
The LORD CHIEF BARON—That is the intention of
the Court, and we propose to take out of their order all
such cases as are now before the Court • they are the
eyes of Webb v. Watts ; Wyld v. Hopkins ; Wyld v.
Si an ; Rivett and others v. Wood ; Brown 'and an-
other v. Troup ; Goodwin v. Fisher ; and Smith v.
Fisher. Such cases as may not be disposed of to-day
we Align pat on a separate paper to be taken on Mondisy.

THE WELLINGTON STATUE.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SU.N.
SIA,—As it appears that considerable difficulty has
been experinced in the selection of an eligible site for the
Wellington Statue in the metropolis, where one of a
similar character already exists, permit me to propose
an appropriate position for that noble production of art,
in his Grace's native land, where the only monument
hitherto raised to his glory, though finished even to the
pedestal, continues at yet incomplete, owing to the want
of a colossal equestrian statue. I allude to the " Testi-
monial " in the Phcenix Park, Dublin. Doubtless the
splendid trophy would be gratefully received by the
people of Ireland, and the suitable gift remain a perpe-
tual record of the liberality and judgment of the citizens

of London.

THE OLDBURY EXPLOSION

BIRMINGHAM, FRIDAY EVENING.—The examination
of witnesses who could bear testimony with respect to
the cause of the late unfortunate occurrence in the
neighbourhood, was resumed this morning. In conse-
quence of the evidence already adduced, the following
letter was read from the Home-office:—
" Whitehall, Nov. 19, 1846.

" Sir,—l am directed by Secretary Sir George Grey
to inform you that his attention has been drawn to the
inquest on the bodies of the unfortunate persons who
lost their lives by the recent explosion in Mr. Parker's
colliery at Oldbury. Sir George Grey thinks that in-
formation bearing on the subject, which may be useful
to this inquiry, is to be ;found in the enclosed report on
the subject of the explosion at the Haswell Collieries in
September, 1844, and Sir George Grey will be glad to
be informed whether the precautions recommended in
the enclosed report appear to have been observed in Mr.
Parker's colliery.
" I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
" S. M. PHILLIPPS.

" To Mr. George Hinchliffe."
The evidence addueed varied little from that which
has already been published. Mr. Haynes, the mine sur-
veyor, produced a plan of the workings of the mine. In
the course of his examination, he stated that every pos-
sible means had been taken, in his judgment, to secure
safety. New gates, or air-passages, had been recently
constructed, and, in fact, no expense spared by the pro-
prietor. He declai ed it to be his opinion that the acci-
dent occurred in consequence of the falling in of a por-
tion of coal, which had been not worked out in conse-
quence of its inferior quality ; and he further stated it
as his opinion that the dams between the new and old
work had been constructed with sufficient substantiality;
but several of the jury expressed an opinion that the
current had not been sufficiently strong to force out the
noxious gases which had accumulated in the " crop," the
place where the cause of the explosion is supposed to
have originated.
Mr. Brettell and the other gentlemen who had been
appointed to examine the state of the pit, declartd that
it was at present so filled with sulphur as to render it
impossible they should proceed until Saturday. The in-
quest was accordingly adjourned until Monday.

THE BOROUGH TOWN OF WAREIIAM,

a matter of no small importance to a proprietor, and for a tenant at
all times ensuring tr e readiest sale for the produce, while the markets
of Pools and Dorchester are easily commanded, and shortly
the railway from Southampton to Dorchester will lend its powerful
aid to give fresh impetus to this district, by rendering the London
market accessible. It is known as

THE BESTIVALL AND SWINEHAAI FARMS,

OF 295 ACRES OF RICH DAIRY AND ARABLE LAND,

and it will be in the recollection of those acquainted with the county
that they were for many years the pet farms, nr better known as
THE MODEL FARMS OF THE LATE 5111 CLAUDE SCOTT,
BART.,
by whose untiring energy, skill, and outlay, they were not only
brought to a high state of cultivation, but by the formation of an
embankment of vast extent, with a most perfect system of draining
and irrigation, some of the richest dairy and corn land in the county
was secured, as well as a constant supply of manure from the deposit
from the river. The late proprietor, at very considerable cost, erected

A GENTLEMANLY ABODE,
offering excellent accommodation for a family, approached by a
lodge entrance, tkrough a most luxui:ant shrubbery walk, adorned
with an infinity of choice flow,_,,ring plants, to the lawn and pleasure-
garden, from whence a view of singular magnificence is obtained, in-
cluding tho long range of

THE DORSETSHIRE HILLS,
THE MAJESTIC RUINS OF CORFE CASTLE
being a prominent object ; whilst the home view commands Lord
Rivers' estate of Redcliff and the Wareham River, which yields a
never-failing supply of fish, and in the season wild fowl is abundance
—irresistible attractions to a sporting man—to whom it should be
known that there are frequent meetings of Mr. Farquharson and
Mr. Drax's hounds. There are two farm-houses, with most com-
plete agricultural buildings ; and an excellent -gravelled road runs
through the estate, communicating with each field. Several cottages
and every essential for conducting an extensive dairy farm with ad-
vantage ; and if at any time desired, the estate can be divided into
tWo farms. Early possession may be had.
The estate may be viewed by applying to Mr. House, at the resi-
dence, and particulars,' with a plan, obtained ; also of R. D. Marsh-

THE EARL OF DUNDONALD.

Lord BROUGHAM rose to present a petition of very
great importance, and one to which he begged to call the
atkntiou of the Government, from an individual
that was known, not only in this country and in Europe,
but he might say in the world. It was from Lord Dun-
donald better known under the name of Lord Cochrane.

lie would venture to assert that no captain either by sea
or on shore had performed nobler exploits, or had been
of more service, during the contest of the late war, than
Lord Cochrane. It would be recollected that Lord
I)undonald had been dismissed from the service of his
Sovereign, and had been degraded from his high rank
for being connected with certain transactions of which
he was wholly ignorant. On the trial, when this affair
was investigated, his counsel. including himself, Mr. Best
(Lord Wynford) and Mr. Topping had all vehemently
urged him to declare the truth, which was that the guilty
party, Mr. Cochrane Johnson, a near relative, was the
person who had committed the act for which his relative
suffered such disgrace and loss. They had all urged him
for hours, but he would not commit a near relation, and
neither then nor now did he allude to the circumstances.

lie had suffered that loss, and in 1832 the Government
of which he (Lord Brougham) was a member, thought
the time was come for restoring him to his rank in the
country and to his estates, but they had not restored
him to the Order of the Bath, of which he had won the
knighthood by the noblest daring and immortal ex-
ploits. The Noble Lord then detailed the great ex-
ploits of the petitioner in different parts of the world, Bra-
zil, Chili, &c. The principal of repudiation, however, had
made its way among the states of the southern hemis-
phere, and though they were his creditors there to the
amount of 75,0001., he never received a single farthing
of that money. This was the more singular, as it was
to him they owed their preservation as independent states.
What the Noble Lord wished from their Lordships was,
that they would bear testimony that he was not in the
degraded position he was before he received his pardon,
and by that means to enable him the better to secure his
claims. Another reason why should regard his petition
was, that he was in possession of a secret of the greatest
value in the event of war. It had nothing to do with
Captain Warner. Lord Keith, Lord Exmouth, and
others, had borne testimony to its value, and the latter
Noble Lord had stated that if he had been aware of it
when he was before Algiers, not a shot would have been
fired at his fleet. The Noble Lord (Lord Dundonald)
therefore prayed that an investigation should take place
into the merits of his plan for the destruction of forts
and fleets, in such a manner as their Lordships might
determine. He had therefore deemed it his duty to lay
the matter before their Lordship.
