HER MAJESTY'S CHRISTMAS BOUNTY TO THE
POOR.—Yesterday the royal alms were distributed by
command of her Nlajesty by the Rev. Mr. Goodenough,
the sub-almoner, at the Almonry-office, Middle Scotland-
yard, to poor aged men and women, who had received
the royal Christmas bounty of five shillings each. As
early as two o'clock yesterday morning the recipients
began to assemble, and at five o'clock about four
hundred had collected in the vicinity of the office, which
opened at six o'clock, and continued paying till nine at
night, between 500 and 600 receiving the bounty, all
being above 60, a great many 90, and three upwards of
a century old. The payments of the royal girt will be
resumed to-day. Queen Ann's Bounty was also distributed
yesterday according to ancient custom at the Royal
Almonry-office in Middle Scotland-yard, Whitehall.
Nearly seven hundred poor 'persons (the majority being
widows of good character and well recommended), resi-
dent in the metropolis, were the recipients. Each indi-
vidual received ss.

gentlemen to her Majesty s Honourable Corps of
Gentlemen-at-Arms: Herbert Rice, Esq , Francis
Vanderlure Mills, Esq., and Philip Salomons, Esq.; the
last-named gentleman being a Jew. When we consider
that the office of Gentleman-at-Arms requires attendance
on her Majesty's person, we think the distinction a very
high one, and another omen of the ultimate removal of
the last barrier which yet prevents our admission into
the Legislature.—Jetrish Chronicle.
EXTRAORDINARY LEAP.—On Thursday last an
extraordinary feat was performed in a field, comprising
part of Moor Farm, near this town. A bet having been
made between two parties that Edward Phalen, footman
to Capt. Maher, would leap an extraordinary distance, a
number of persons met at the above place to witness the
feat, which was that he would leap 12 feet from a ditch
and over a ditch 8 feet—in all 20 feet. Phalen, having
taken off his coat and shoes, started at a place 25 yards
from the ditch, and carried a brickbat in each hand.
The feat was accomplished, Phalen jumping six inches
over the required distance.—Somerset County Gazette.

(Sittings at Guildhall, before Lord Chief
MAN and a Special Jury.)
WILSON V. HOLDEN.
This was an action brought by the plaintiff, a stationer
and printer, to recover the sum of 94/. from the defend-
ant for work, labour, and materials supplied to the Avon
and Severn Valley Railway, he being one of the pro-
visional committee. It appeared that the orders were
given through Mr. Brooks, the secretary, who deposed
to the attendance of the defendant at various meet-
ings of the committee, and to his taking an active inte-
rest in the undertaking.
It was shown by Mr. Waterlow, jun. (the firm of
Messrs. Waterlow ha'ing done some of the work), the
plaintiff's son, and the managing clerk of Mr. Bailey,
the paper-maker, that the work, though charged
a high rate, was not exorbitant, considering
the extraordinary nature of the period-1845 ; whilst
Mr. Olding, the banker, produced a letter signed
by the defendant and other members of the committee,
requesting the firm with which he was connected to open
an account with the Company.
Mr. CROWDER, who appeared for the defendants, con-
tended that no evidence had been adduced to show that
the secretary was empowered to act as the agent of the
defendants, and that unless the jury were of opinion
that the secretary had so acted they could not find him
liable.
Lord DENMAN told the jury that the appearance of a
person's name as a provisional committeeman in a r d him
pro-
spectus did not necessari y render liable for the whole
