CHAMBERS V. SMITH.
This cause was argued on Friday and Saturday last, and
his Honour to-day gave judgment in favour of the plaintiffs.
lie said, after reading over the papers in the cause, the result
was the confirmation of the opinion with which at the close
of the defendants' case he was impressed; that the conduct
of the executors in not preventing Mr. Tucker's action, and
their defending the action as they did, was improper. The
circumstance of the jury having given a verdict which
allowed him 51. less, of which the executors at length de-
prived him, at an expense of sonic 2001., was immaterial, ex-
cept that the executors should be allowed the Si., and be
treated as though they had paid him in full. He ordered
the defendants to pay the plaintiffs 75/. Hs., and the costs of
this suit, the defendants to have no costs. All other costs
were reserved.

SHERIFFS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Under-Sheriff Buncruir.t..)
ROBERTS V. DAVIS.
This was an action to recover 141. lie. 2d., the balance of
an attorney's bill.
It appeared by the evidence that the defendant was the
petitioning creditor for a fiat in bankruptcy, and the costs
had been taxed at 25/. I ls. 2d. The defendant had pleaded
that he was not indebted, but did not appear to support the,
plea.—Verdict for the plaintiff.
PERRY V. STOATT.
This was an action to recover the sum of 71. for work and
labour done. The defendant pleaded that he was not indebted.
The plaintiff is a stonemason, and the defendant is a
licensed victualler at Notting-hill. On the part of the
plaintiff it was shown that there had been a contract between
the defendant and a person named Chippett for the erection
of the Builders Arms public-house, but in May last Chippett
said that he was unable to get materials and men, and an
ii,,reement was entered into between them authorising de-
fendant to employ men, and Chippett went and told plaintiff
that Stoatt (defendant) had taken the work into his own
hands, and that defendant, on seeing plaintiff, told him to go
on with the mason's work, and he would pay him. For the
defendant, however, it we; shown that about 3001. had been
paid to Chippett, who had money advanced every week
to pay the workmen, and that Perry had himself aiked for
money to be advanced to him on Chippett'sacacroeucneitp,:ayshifcohr
was done, and defendant also advanced money to other per-
sons on hippett's account, and the latter gave
money paid to him under the contract. Plaintiff did not ap-

goods.

Arthur Brough was called, and proved that he had under-
taken to sell the plaintiff's medicines on commission, and had
had dealings with the defendant, but he could not speak
positively to the order in question, but believed he had re•
ceived an order for four dozen of Sir Henry Halford's Royal
Family Pills and six dozen cough pills. Defendant, how-
ever, wrote to say that he had done wry little with them, h

out of his mind who had done so?—(Laughter.)
The UNDER-SHERIFF—That is hardly a fair question.
The witness continued that he could not tell the value 0
the pills, as he did not know the ingredients, but the charge
was 10s. 6d. per dozen boxes.
The UNDER-SHERIFF said that if the witness could not
say whether there was an actual sale or not the verdict meet

DUTCH PAPERS.
THE HAGUE, APRIL 27.—NEWS FROM VTR DI:TWIT
PosSEssioN s IN INDIA.—The overland mail brought 0,5
the Batavia papers of the 26th May, 1846, from whieu
we extract the following particulars:—
The Government having freighted last month the
ships Waterloo and Hugo Grotius, for the expedition W
Bali, intended to wait for the arrival of the ships Flee,
Europa, and Middelburg, but these ships having wet
with some delay, it was decided last week that the esFe"
dition should start without them, and for this purpose
the ships Koophandel, Louisa, Johanna Maria, and
King William IL, which was at anchor in the
port of Sourabaga, were hired. The expedition is
composed of 2,000 men, and a battery: 1,400 Wee'
and ti.e battery, which were at Batavia, elp.
barked yesterday. The Hugh Grotius, Johanna
Maria, and Waterloo have the troops on boards
the Koophandel will take the ammunition, and the Louise
the battery, escorted by a schooner, for Sourabaga'
where the King William 11, the Ceres frigate, seWe
schooners, and two steamers, will join the expedition ;
the whole squadron is under the command of Lieal':
Colonel Bakker. It is said that his ExcellencY W.;
Governor-General is going to Sourabaya, to be flea"'
the scene of action. There are different opinions re
specting the probable result of the expedition. Ser%
persons fear that the inhabitants of Bali will retire
the mountains, and thus escape the attack of tr
troops, for time enough has been given them to forts Y
themselves, since they knew that an expedition was Pre;
paring against them, and the English will have bed eof
opportunity of supplying them with arms and means
defences. Other persons, on the contrary, think that
mere demonstration on cur part will suffice, and the•..
the inhabitants of Bali will speedily submit. It is .certain
that the delay of the expedition for the want of European
ships to carry the troops, and in consequence,
possibility of an unfavourable result, may have a fetal 15
fluence on the Indian reputation. - The squadron Weis
ready to sail from Batavia on the 26th of May.
The King of Salaparang (Lambok), and his se°'
having learnt that the Government intended to send
military f.ree to Bali, to punish the King of Bating
and Karang-Assem, for their infraction of the treaties
signed by them, and for the insult offered to the
Dutch flag, have sent five great men of their exarra,"
to Batavia, accompanied by a numerous suite, ivr_
letters from their sovereigns, in which these princes au;
dare that the punishment which the Dutch Governtel;
was going to inflict was well merited, because tt.
Princes of Baliting and Karang-Assem bad acted 011`justly and in a hostile manner towards the governraerr
of Dutch India, and they offer at the same time 0010
assistance and co-operation. The Embassy had a sel„Pilot
audience of the Governor-General on the 26th.
Governor-General, considering that it is desirable is
the interest of the Netherlands, and of the possessions
the East Indies, to facilitate the commercial °Pero
tions of the mother country, and provide for the vle,
of the Asiatic colonies, that a well-organised and s:
ciently equipped mercantile fleet should be apPeill of
offering all possible guarantees for the regular soree.,„
commercial affairs, and the conveyance of colonial rio
duce belonging to the Government, has appointed, be
